BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a game program, a game apparatus, and a recording medium on which the game program is recorded, and in particular, displays a plurality of characters on a display screen and advances a game by allowing a player to select a character's action form. The present invention relates to a game program, a game device, and a recording medium on which the game program is recorded.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in a virtual world of a game on the screen of a computer or TV device, a player inputs a command by operating means such as a controller to manipulate a character appearing in the game, and advance a preset story Various games are being offered. Such a game is generally referred to as “RPG” (Role Playing Game).
[0003]
Such an RPG includes a battle scene in which a character operated by a player (hereinafter referred to as a “main character”) and an enemy character controlled by a computer are included. It is generally known to acquire money and advance the story while raising the character level.
[0004]
In this type of RPG battle scene, the attack performed by the main character is uniquely determined by the setting of the ability according to the level of the main character and the attack power according to the possessed item (weapon, magic, etc.). The behavior mode of the subsequent character is automatically processed according to the character behavior control algorithm included in the game program by the computer based on the selected command.
[0005]
In the battle scene, how to use magic, which is one of command selections, is one element for efficiently advancing the game. A plurality of types of magic are set, and effects for supporting the main character, such as recovery of the physical strength of the main character and an attack on the enemy character, are attached to each of the magics. The player can cause the main character to execute magic by selecting a magic command for the main character.
[0006]
However, in an RPG equipped with such a battle scene, a large number of battles must be repeated until the ending, and at the end of the game, the player may become tired and lose concentration or become bored. For this reason, there has been proposed a game apparatus that enhances the interest of the entire game and allows the player to maintain the interest until the end of the game (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to this game apparatus, for example, after the player selects an “attack” command or a “magic” command, a circular variable display area called a judgment ring is displayed, and the timing area is set to a predetermined angle range. A technique is adopted in which the main character attacks the enemy character by performing a button operation with good timing when the rotation bar passes.

[0035]
When the DVD-ROM 31 is loaded in the DVD-ROM drive 29 while the apparatus main body 1 is powered on, “Opening Demo” is displayed on the display 16. The “opening demo” is an effect display indicating the start of the game. After displaying this “opening demo” for a predetermined time, a “title screen” on which a game title is drawn is displayed, and “main game processing” shown in FIG. 4 to be described later is started.
[0036]
[Title screen explanation]
FIG. 3A shows an example of a “title screen”. Here, characters of the game title “SHADOW HEARTS” are displayed, and two selection items (“NEW GAME” and “CONTINUE”) are displayed below the characters. In addition, the cursor 41 is displayed at the left position of either “NEWGAME” or “CONTINUE”, and the position of the cursor 41 is switched by the player operating the up button 7 or the down button 8. When the circle button 12 is operated by the player, the selection item indicated by the cursor 41 is selected.
[0037]
[Main game processing]
In the “main game process” shown in FIG. 4, it is first determined which of the two selection items has been selected on the “title screen” (ST1). When it is determined that “NEWGAME” has been selected (“YES” in ST1), the prologue and game contents are displayed (ST2), and then the “world map” shown in FIG. 3 (2) is displayed (ST4). ). On the other hand, when it is determined that “CONTINUE” is selected on the “title screen” (“NO” in ST1), the previous game end time is set in the process of ST3 (memory slot 3 of the device main body 1). The game history data recorded in the memory card 32 loaded in the memory card 32 is read out), and the “world map” is displayed without displaying the prologue and game contents (ST4).
[0038]
Note that in the game according to the present embodiment, a main character that acts based on the player's operation and an enemy character that acts based on the game program appear, and a game that develops centering on the battle between the two characters is displayed. Realized above. In this embodiment, a plurality of main characters such as a main character A and a main character B appear as main characters, and the game acts in units of parties formed from the plurality of main characters. Various statuses are set in advance for each character. In this status, an experience value, possession money, weapons, ability, etc., which are added depending on the number of games, the number of times of defeating enemy characters, and the like are determined.
[0039]
[Explanation of world map screen]
FIG. 3B shows an example of a “world map”. On this “world map”, the main cities of “Country A” that is the stage of the game story are displayed, and the selection items (“City A” 42a, “City B” 42b, “City C” shown by five city names) are displayed. "42c," city D "42d," city E "42e) are displayed. These are selection items for shifting to a “submap” prepared in advance. The player moves the cursor 41 indicating each selection item by operating the up button 7 or the down button 8, for example, and selects one selection item by operating the ○ button 12 by the player. When the “submap” is selected in this way, the screen shifts to a screen for each “submap” and various games set according to the “submap” can be played. Specifically, the scene inside each city is pre-rendered as a background image in accordance with the scene development, and the story progresses as various characters are captured while the main characters move through it.
[0040]
On the “world map”, when the player operates the □ button 14, a “menu screen” is displayed, and the player can perform various settings on the “menu screen”. For example, various settings such as causing the main character to use an item, an accessory, or the like for changing the status set for each main character, or to equip the main character can be performed.
[0041]
In addition, various “specific items” used when executing “aromatic therapy” to be described later can also be confirmed on this “menu screen”. “Aromatherapy” is a process executed when an “aromatherapy” command is input in a battle scene. In order to execute “aroma therapy”, a plurality of “specific items” that are set to have different effects (such as HP recovery of the main character) are required. A predetermined magic form is determined by combining the “specific items” in the battle scene, and the determined magic form is executed. The “specific item” required for “aroma therapy” cannot be used alone, and a specific effect is executed by combining two “specific items”.
[0042]
[Main game processing]
In FIG. 4 again, when any of the selection items displayed on the “world map” is selected (“YES” in ST5), the start screen of the “submap” corresponding to the selection is displayed, and the main character is displayed. The party starts the action on the “submap” (ST6). On the other hand, if “NO” in ST5, it is determined whether or not there is a display request for the “menu screen” by operating the □ button 14 on the “world map” (ST20). If “YES” here, a “menu screen” is displayed, and various setting processes are performed by inputting various commands such as “item” and “equipment” in accordance with the operation of the player (ST21). ). Here, the action on the “submap” refers to the “specific item” used when the main character walks, talks to passers-by, shop, or executes “aromatic therapy” described below. It is an action such as. Also, the “menu screen” can be displayed by operating the □ button 14 on the “submap”, and the above-described various operations can be performed. For example, by selecting the “aroma therapy” command on this “menu screen”, it is possible to display the effects of “specific items” combined to determine the magic form in the “magic form determination process” described later. (See FIGS. 38 to 40, which will be described later). Also, by selecting the “item” command, the status of the teammate character such as ability can be changed (for example, recovery), or by selecting the “status” command, it is set for each main character. It is possible to check the status such as ability, experience value, linkage parameters, etc.
[0043]
Thereafter, when the party of the main character that started the action on the “submap” encounters an enemy character (“YES” in ST7), “battle processing” is started (ST8). When the “battle process” is started, the process proceeds to a “battle scene” in which a battle between the party of the main character and the enemy character is performed. This “battle process” will be described later. On the other hand, even if an enemy character is not encountered (“NO” in ST7), if any event occurs (“YES” in ST9), the process moves to ST16 and a movie corresponding to the event is displayed. If no event occurs ("NO" in ST9), the process returns to ST6.
[0044]
In the “battle scene” executed by the “battle process”, if the main character party successfully escapes from the enemy character (“YES” in ST10), the process moves to ST16, and a movie corresponding to the situation is displayed. . On the other hand, if the escape from the enemy character fails or if the battle with the enemy character is performed (“NO” in ST10), then whether or not the party of the main character has won the enemy character in the “battle scene” Determine (ST11). Here, when “YES”, that is, when the party of the main character wins the enemy character, points such as experience points are given to each character of the party according to the type of the enemy character fought and the content of the battle. Add or give items or money (ST12). And the level of the said character is raised according to the experience value of each character (ST13). Thereafter, a movie corresponding to the situation is displayed (ST16). If “NO” is determined in ST11, that is, if the main character party cannot win the enemy character, it is subsequently determined whether all the main character parties have died (ST14). If "NO" here, it is determined that an event that ends the battle is generated, and the process proceeds to ST16 to display a movie according to the situation. If “YES” in ST14, the game is over (ST15), and the main game process is terminated.
[0045]
After displaying the movie in ST16, it is determined whether or not the request condition of the selected submap is cleared (ST17). If the request condition of the submap is cleared (“YES” in ST17), the process proceeds to ST18. Judge whether to move to the ending. If the submap request condition is not cleared ("NO" in ST17), the process moves to ST6. If “YES” in ST18, a predetermined ending display is performed (ST19), and this “main game process” is ended. If “NO” in ST18, the process moves to ST4.
[0046]
[Battle processing, etc.]
FIG. 5 shows the procedure of “battle processing” shown in ST8 of FIG. First, a “battle scene” start screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed (ST31). On the start screen of the “battle scene” shown in FIG. 6, for example, the main character party (main character A111, main character B112, main character C113, and main character D117) is displayed in the foreground. Three enemy characters (enemy character A 114, enemy character B 115, and enemy character C 116) are displayed. Information on the status of the main character is displayed at the lower right position of the start screen. Specifically, a hit point (hereinafter referred to as “HP”), a magic point (hereinafter referred to as “MP”), and a sanity point (hereinafter referred to as “SP”) are determined in advance for each main character. The number of remaining points (number of points currently possessed / number of points originally possessed) is expressed. Since “HP” remains, the character can execute various commands such as attack and item use, and the main character in which the point is lost becomes inoperable. “MP” is a point where a special ability such as a magic can be used by having this, and the special ability cannot be used by the main character without the point. “SP” is a point that maintains the sanity of the main character by having this, and the main character that has lost the point loses sanity and enters an abnormal state. When this abnormal state occurs, the command operation for the main character becomes invalid, and the player runs away to an abnormal action such as attacking an enemy ally.
[0047]
Next, a “WP subtraction process” is performed for subtracting weight points (WP) that manage the order in which actions such as attacks including the main character and enemy characters can be performed based on a predetermined condition (ST32). In the “WP subtraction process”, for the main character, the action order of the character that validates the command selection by the player is managed. Details of the “WP subtraction process” will be described later.
[0048]
It is determined whether or not the character for which command selection is enabled in the “WP subtraction process” (a turn that will be described later) is an enemy character (ST33). If “YES”, the enemy character attacks the main character. Is executed in accordance with the game program (ST34), and the process proceeds to ST37.
[0049]
On the other hand, if it is determined in ST33 that the character for which command selection is valid is the main character, “command reception processing” for receiving command selection by the player's operation is performed (ST35). Details of the “command reception process” will be described later.
[0050]
Next, the content of the command selection by the player accepted in the “command acceptance process” is confirmed, and the “command process” for executing the display process corresponding to the command type is performed (ST36). By this “command processing”, display processing according to the action form of the selected main character is executed. For example, when a command for performing an attack (a “battle” command described later) is selected, a display process for performing an attack on an enemy character is executed, and a command using a special ability (a “special” command described later) is used. When selected, display processing such as performing a magic attack on the enemy character or recovering the attacked ally using recovery magic is executed. In addition, when a command for executing “aromatic therapy” described later (“aromatic therapy” command described later) is selected, “magic form determination processing” described later is executed. In this “magic form determination process”, magic forms having different effects are determined according to the combination conditions of a plurality of “specific items” set. In the “command processing”, “judgment processing” that enables technical intervention based on the operation timing of the player is also performed. Details of the “command processing” will be described later.
[0051]
After the “command processing” is executed, the WP of the character for which command selection is enabled in the “WP subtraction processing” is initialized (returned to the initial value “255”) (ST37). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the “battle process” end condition is satisfied (ST38). If “NO”, the process returns to ST32, and if “YES”, the “battle process” is ended. The process moves to ST10 in FIG. Here, the “battle processing” end condition is that the enemy character appearing on the battle screen has been annihilated, the player has selected the “escape” command and succeeded in escaping from the enemy character, and the main character party has been annihilated. Or an event that ended the battle occurred.
[0052]
[WP subtraction processing, etc.]
FIG. 7 shows the procedure of the “WP subtraction process” in ST32 in the “battle process”. First, the WP of the main character A (the WP of the main character A is changed to “WP ₁ ”And is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23 (ST40). The initial value of WP is designated as “255”, and this WP ₁ Is the WP set in RAM in the previous “WP subtraction process”. ₁ Is calculated by subtracting the ability value AP (Action Point) set for the main character A from the value of. The calculation method of “WP” is the same for other characters, and the ability value AP is different for each character. Various character individual abilities are set in advance for each character according to the character level (LV) determined by the experience value, and the “AP” is calculated based on this status (described later).
[0053]
An example will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 shows the individual character abilities of the main character A and the main character B. As shown in FIG. 8, various character individual abilities are set for each character in accordance with a character level (LV) that varies depending on experience values. In addition to the above-mentioned “HP”, “MP”, and “SP”, the character individual ability types include physical attack power (STR), physical defense power (VIT), quickness (AGL), and magic attack power (INT ), Magic defense power (POW) and luck (LUC). These are represented by numerical values, and different values are set depending on the character type even if the character level is the same. “AP” is calculated by “AGL” and “LUC”. Specifically, it is calculated by a calculation formula of AP = AGL + LUC / 2.
[0054]
As described above, “WP” of the main character A at ST40. ₁ Followed by this requested "WP" ₁ It is determined whether or not “0” is “0” (ST41). If "YES" here, command selection for the main character A is validated (ST54). Therefore, in the battle scene, the player can specify a command for causing the main character A to perform an action such as an attack.
[0055]
If “NO” in ST42, the WP of the main character B (the WP of the main character B is set to “WP ₂ ”And is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23 (ST42). Next, the requested “WP ₂ It is determined whether or not “0” is “0” (ST43). If “YES”, the command selection for the main character B is validated (ST54), and if “NO”, the process proceeds to ST44.
[0056]
In ST44, the WP of the main character C (the WP of the main character C is changed to “WP ₃ ”And is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23. Next, the requested “WP ₃ It is determined whether or not “0” is “0” (ST45). If “YES”, the command selection for the main character C is validated (ST54), and if “NO”, the process proceeds to ST46.
[0057]
In ST46, the WP of the main character D (the WP of the main character D is changed to “WP ₄ ”And is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23. Next, the requested “WP ₄ It is determined whether or not “0” is “0” (ST47). If “YES”, the command selection for the main character D is validated (ST54), and if “NO”, the process proceeds to ST48.
[0058]
In ST48, the WP of the enemy character A (the WP of the enemy character A is changed to “WP ₅ ”And is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23. Next, the requested “WP ₅ It is determined whether or not “0” is “0” (ST49). If “YES”, the command selection for the enemy character A is validated (ST54), and if “NO”, the process proceeds to ST50.
[0059]
In ST50, the WP of the enemy character B (the WP of the enemy character B is changed to “WP ₆ ”And is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23. Next, the requested “WP ₆ It is determined whether or not “0” is “0” (ST51). If “YES”, the command selection for the enemy character B is validated (ST54), and if “NO”, the process proceeds to ST52.
[0060]
In ST52, the WP of the enemy character C (the WP of the enemy character C is changed to “WP ₇ ”And is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23. Next, the requested “WP ₇ Is determined to be “0” (ST53). If “YES”, the command selection for the enemy character C is validated (ST54), “WP subtraction process” is terminated, and the process proceeds to ST33 in FIG. Move. If “NO” in ST53, the process returns to ST40 again and repeats the “WP subtraction process” from the beginning.
[0061]
[Command selection screen, etc.]
In the “WP subtraction process”, when the character for which command selection is enabled is the main character, the display 16 displays a selection mark 43 above the main character for which command selection is enabled as shown in FIG. Is done. After such display, subsequently, the main character (here, main character A111) on which the selection mark 43 is displayed is zoomed up, and a “command selection screen” as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed. The
[0062]
In the “command selection screen” shown in FIG. 9, a command menu 44 in which commands for determining the action form of the main character A111 are shown as selection items is displayed. Then, the cursor 45 displayed on the left side of the command menu 44 is moved by the player operating the up button 7 or the down button 8, and the cursor 45 is displayed at the left position when the ○ button 12 is operated. The command is selected, and the action form of the main character A111 is determined. In FIG. 9, five commands of “fight”, “special”, “item”, “defense”, and “escape” are displayed in the command menu 44. Here, the cursor 45 is displayed at the left position of the “fight” command, and the case where the command is determined is shown. Further, above the command menu 44, the values of “HP”, “MP”, and “SP” of the main character A111 are displayed.
[0063]
[Command reception processing, etc.]
FIG. 10 shows the procedure of the “command reception process” in ST35 in the “battle process” shown in FIG. First, when the character for which command selection is enabled in the “WP subtraction process” is a main character, it is determined whether or not “SP” of the main character is “0” (ST55). If “YES” here, a “character runaway process” is performed for the main character (ST56), and the process proceeds to the process of ST37 in FIG. When the “character runaway process” is executed, the command operation for the character is invalidated, and the robot runs away to an abnormal action such as making an attack regardless of an enemy ally. On the other hand, if “NO” in ST55, it is determined whether or not a command operation has been performed by the player, that is, whether or not a command has been selected on the “command selection screen” (ST57). If “NO”, the process of ST57 is repeated. If “YES”, the “command reception process” is terminated, and the process proceeds to ST36 in FIG.
[0064]
[Character runaway processing, etc.]
FIG. 11 shows the procedure of the “character runaway process” in ST56 in the “command acceptance process” of FIG. First, the type of command that determines the action of the main character is selected at random, and the character that is the target of the action (attack, use of attack magic, use of recovery magic, etc.) based on the command is randomly selected regardless of the enemy ally Select (ST61). For example, when a “fight” command is selected, a character to be attacked is randomly selected regardless of the enemy's ally. Then, a “judgement process” shown in FIG. 15 to display the character action determined based on the selected command or the like is automatically processed (ST62), and this “character runaway process” is terminated.
[0065]
[Character runaway display example]
12 and 13 show a specific display example when the “character runaway process” is executed. Here, as an example, the SP of the main character A111 is “0”, and the “character” The state when "runaway processing" is executed is shown.
[0066]
FIG. 12 shows a display mode immediately after the start of execution of the “character runaway process”, and displays how the black smoke 121 rises from the foot of the main character A111 and surrounds the body. At this time, the display 16 also displays the characters “Main character A has run away!”. After that, as shown in FIG. 13, a runaway mark 118 indicating that the main character A111 has runaway is displayed and, for example, “Hey heh… fun…”. Characters are also displayed. After that, the main character A111 performs an action such as an attack on the target character selected in ST61 of FIG.
[0067]
In the above embodiment, once a runaway state occurs, all command operations are not accepted, but only some commands may be accepted under predetermined conditions. For example, only the “item” command is accepted, but it is not known to whom the selected “item” is used, or the “fight” command is accepted once every three turns. Further, the main character runs away when “SP = 0”, and the main character may not return to runaway but return to normal over time.
[0068]
[Command processing, etc.]
FIG. 14 shows the procedure of “command processing” in ST36 in the “battle processing” of FIG. First, it is determined whether or not the selected command is a “fight” command (ST65). Here, when “YES”, that is, when the player selects the “battle” selection item in the “command selection screen” of FIG. 9, the “weapon table” (details are shown in FIG. 26) from the DVD-ROM 31. It is taken out and set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23 (ST66). After setting the “weapon table” in a predetermined area of the RAM 23, the process proceeds to ST76.
[0069]
If “NO” in ST65, it is determined whether or not the selected command is a “special” command, that is, whether or not the selection item “special” is selected by the player in the “command selection screen” of FIG. ST67). If "YES" here, the process proceeds to ST68.
[0070]
In ST68, it is determined whether or not the selected command is “aroma therapy”, that is, whether or not the selection item “aroma therapy” is selected on the “command selection screen” in FIG. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to ST69, and when “NO”, the “special table” (details are shown in FIG. 31) is taken out from the DVD-ROM 31 and set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23 (ST70). Move on.
[0071]
In ST69, a magic form determination process is performed. In this magic form determination process, specific items selected from a plurality of specific items by a command input are combined, and a predetermined magic form is determined according to the combination of the specific items. Detailed description of the “magic form determination process” will be described later. After this process, the process proceeds to ST76.
[0072]
If “NO” in ST67, it is determined whether or not the selected command is an “item” command, that is, whether or not the “item” of the selection item is selected by the player in the “command selection screen” of FIG. ST71). If "YES" here, the "item table" (shown in detail in FIG. 33) is taken out from the DVD-ROM 31, set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23 (ST72), and the process proceeds to ST76.
[0073]
If “NO” in ST71, it is determined whether or not the selected command is a “defense” command, that is, whether or not the “defense” selection item has been selected by the player in the “command selection screen” of FIG. ST73). If “YES” here, a “defense” command process for displaying a state in which the main character defends against an attack from an enemy character is executed (ST74), the “command process” is terminated, and the process proceeds to ST37 in FIG. .
[0074]
If “NO” in ST73, “escape” command processing for displaying a situation where the main character escapes from the enemy character is executed (ST75), “command processing” is terminated, and the process proceeds to ST37 in FIG.
[0075]
In ST76, when any of the “fight” command, “special” command (“aromatherapy” command), and “item” command is selected, and a table corresponding to each command is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23, Then, the “judgment process” is executed to display the action of the main character determined based on the command and the table. After this process, the “command process” is terminated, and the process moves to ST37 in FIG.
[0076]
FIG. 36 shows the procedure of “magic form determination process” executed in ST69 of FIG. This process is executed by the CPU 21 of the apparatus main body 1 according to a game program recorded in the RAM 23 from the DVD-ROM 31 in accordance with a basic operation program such as an OS (Operating System) stored in the ROM 22.
[0077]
The “magic form determination process” is executed when a “special” command is input by an operation input of the controller 4 by the player, and “aroma therapy” included in the “special” command is further input. It is processing. In the “magic form determination process”, the first “specific item” (hereinafter referred to as “base”) is obtained from a plurality of “specific items” displayed as possessed by the main character based on command input. Then, a second “specific item” (hereinafter referred to as “topping”) to be combined with this “base” is determined. Then, in accordance with the determined combination of “base” and “topping”, a process of determining a predetermined magic form having a different effect is performed. Hereinafter, a specific processing flow will be described.
[0078]
First, the CPU 21 determines whether or not “base” has been determined (ST111). The “specific item” owned by the main character is displayed on the screen based on the data recorded in the RAM 23. In this process, it is determined whether or not “specific item” as “base” is input from the selection item of “specific item” displayed on the screen by the operation input of the controller 4 by the player. The input of the “specific item” is performed by moving the cursor from a plurality of “specific items” displayed on the screen by the input of the upper button 7 or the lower button 8 of the controller 4 to one “specific item”. This is performed by inputting the button 12. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to ST112, and when it is “NO”, ST111 is repeated, and it is determined whether or not “base” is determined again. In the present embodiment, the effect set in the “specific item” determined as the “base” is the basic effect of the magic form executed in the battle scene. The effect set in the “specific item” determined as the “base” is the basic effect of the magic form executed in the battle scene. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the “topping” is performed. The effect set in the “specific item” determined as the basic effect of the magic form executed in the battle scene may be the “specific item” determined as either “base” or “topping”. The effect set to “” is the basic effect of the magic form executed in the battle scene.
[0079]
Here, the effect of the “specific item” set in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 37 is a “specific item table”. This “specific item table” is read from the DVD-ROM 31 and recorded in the RAM 23.
[0080]
In the “specific item table” in FIG. 37, “seven types” of “specific items” (“specific item A” to “specific item G”) are recorded, and “consumption” for each “specific item”. “MP”, “system”, “basic effect” and the like are recorded in association with each other.
[0081]
“Consumed MP” indicates a numerical value of MP to be subtracted from the remaining MP of the executed main character when “aroma therapy” is executed in the battle scene. Note that “MP” is a point at which the special ability such as magic can be used by having this, and the main character without the point cannot use the special ability.
[0082]
The “system” indicates a system of effects that each “specific item” has. The “system” is, for example, “HP recovery system”, “MP recovery system”, “SP recovery system”, “??? system”, “attack power” in the order of “specific item A” to “specific item G”, respectively. "Up system", "Defense power up system", "Abnormal defense system".
[0083]
The “basic effect” indicates the content of the effect of each “specific item”, and the basic form of the magic form determined when this “basic effect” is determined as “base” for each “specific item”. It will be effective. “Basic effects” are, for example, “recover HP”, “recover MP”, “recover SP”, “various effects” in the order of “specific item A” to “specific item G”. ", Attack power system (physical attack, special attack) goes up", "defense power system (physical attack, special attack) goes up", "protect status & ring abnormality".
[0084]
The “consumed MP”, “system”, “basic effect”, etc. of the “specific item” recorded in the “specific item table” are displayed on the “aroma therapy” screens 1 to 3 shown in FIGS. Thus, it can be confirmed with respect to the player.
[0085]
The “aroma therapy” screens 1 to 3 shown in FIGS. 38 to 40 are displayed on the screen when the “aroma therapy” command is input on the “menu screen”. The “menu screen” is displayed when the □ button 14 of the controller 4 is input on the “world map” or the “submap”. On this “menu screen”, the data set for each main character can be confirmed and changed.
[0086]
FIG. 38 shows the “Aromatherapy” screen 1. The “aroma therapy” screen 1 is a screen that is displayed when a “main character A” selection item is input from among a plurality of main character selection items on the “menu screen”. In the upper right of the “Aromatherapy” screen 1, a plurality of selection items including “Aromatherapy” are displayed, and a cursor is displayed so that it can be selected by an operation input of the controller 4. In the lower left of the “Aromatherapy” screen 1, “specific items” (“7 types” in the figure, “Item A” to “Item G”) used in “Aromatherapy” are displayed. In the position on the right side corresponding to each “specific item”, the numerical value of MP consumed for each “specific item” when “aroma therapy” is executed in the battle scene is displayed. For example, when “Aromatherapy” is executed with a combination of “Item A” as “Base” and “Item B” as “Topping”, the consumption of “Item A” MP “10” + “Item B” Consumption MP “10” = “Aromatherapy” execution consumption MP “20” is subtracted from the remaining MP of “main character A” that has executed “Aromatherapy” (“123” − “20” = after subtraction Remaining MP “103”).
[0087]
FIG. 39 shows the “Aromatherapy” screen 2. The “Aromatherapy” screen 2 is displayed when the cursor is set to “Aromatherapy” by inputting the upper button 7 or the lower button 8 of the controller 4 in the “Aromatherapy” screen 1 and the ○ button 12 is subsequently input. It is a screen displayed by. In the “Aromatherapy” screen 2, a cursor is displayed on the left side of the “specific item” displayed at the lower left of the screen, and the “specific item” can be selected.
[0088]
FIG. 40 shows the “Aromatherapy” screen 3. In the “Aromatherapy” screen, the cursor is set to one “specific item” by the input of the upper button 7 or the lower button 8 of the controller 4 in the “Aromatherapy” screen 2, and then the ○ button 12 is input. It is a screen displayed by this. FIG. 40 illustrates a case where “specific item A” is input. On this “aroma therapy” screen 3, a detailed description of the “specific item” selected based on the “specific item table” in FIG. 37 is displayed. In the explanation display, in the battle scene, this “specific item” is selected as “base”, and an effect that occurs when “aroma therapy” is executed (for example, “HP recovery”) is displayed.
[0089]
By displaying the “Aromatherapy” screens 1 to 3 shown in FIGS. 38 to 40, the player confirms in advance the contents and effects of “specific items” to be combined when performing “Aromatherapy” in the battle scene. As a result, you can expect the effect of “Aromatherapy” when this “specific item” is determined as “Base”. Can do. Note that the “aroma therapy” screens 1 to 3 are merely examples of display and are not limited thereto. In the present embodiment, the “aromatherapy” screens 1 to 3 are displayed on the screen when the “aromatherapy” command is input on the “menu screen”. Not limited to this, it may be displayed by inputting a predetermined command even in a battle scene. As a result, the effects of “aromatherapy” can be predicted even in battle, and a battle strategy can be established.
[0090]
Here, the description returns to FIG. In ST112, “specific item” determined as “base” is recorded in RAM 23, and the process proceeds to ST113. In ST113, it is determined whether or not “topping” has been determined. In this process, “topping” is selected from the selection items of “specific item” excluding “specific item” determined as “base” in ST112 displayed on the screen by the operation input of the controller 4 by the player. It is determined whether or not “specific item” has been input. The input of the “specific item” is performed by moving the cursor from the “specific item” displayed on the screen by the input of the upper button 7 or the lower button 8 of the controller 4 to the one “specific item”, followed by the ○ button 12. Is performed by inputting. When this determination is “YES”, the process proceeds to ST114, and when it is “NO”, ST113 is repeated, and it is determined whether or not “topping” is determined again.
[0091]
Next, in ST114, the “specific item” determined as “topping” is recorded in the RAM 23, and the process proceeds to ST115. In ST115, the type and effect of the magic form are determined according to the determined combination. In this processing, based on “base” and “topping” recorded in the RAM 23, the type and effect of the magic form are determined with reference to a “magic form determination table” shown in FIG.
[0092]
FIG. 41 shows a “magic form determination table”. FIG. 41 is a “magic form determination table”. This “magic form determination table” is read from the DVD-ROM 31 and recorded in the RAM 23.
[0093]
In the “magic form determination table” of FIG. 41, one “specific item” selected from “seven types” of “specific items” (“specific item A” to “specific item G”) is determined as “base”. 42 types (7 × 6) of combinations when “topping” is determined from the remaining “6 types” (39 types are shown because combinations of overlapping effects are collected in the figure) are recorded. ing. For each combination of “specific items”, “effect content”, “effect range”, “duration”, and “consumption MP” are stored in association with each other.
[0094]
The “effect content” indicates the specific effect content of the magic form determined according to the combination of the “specific item”. For example, in the case where “base” is “specific item A” (“system” is “HP recovery system”), “specific item B” to “specific item A” except “specific item A” determined as “base” One of the “specific items G” is determined as “topping”, and “HP small recovery” or “HP large recovery” is determined according to “specific item B” to “specific item G” determined as “topping”. The effect content is set. As shown in FIG. 41, this “effect content” is set so that the effect increases as the “consumption MP” of the “specific item” determined as “topping” increases. For example, “effect” when “specific item A” (consumption MP “10”, see FIG. 37) is “base” and “specific item B” (consumption MP “10”, see FIG. 37) is “topping”. “Content” is “HP small recovery”. In comparison, “specific item A” (consumption MP “10”, see FIG. 37) is “base” and “specific item G” (consumption MP “40”, see FIG. 37) is “topping”. In this case, the “effect content” is “HP large recovery”.
[0095]
The “effect range” indicates a magic form effect range determined according to the combination of the “specific item”. For example, either “wide range” or “narrow range” is set. In the present embodiment, the effect of the magic form after executing “aroma therapy” is the main character displayed within the determined effect range centered on the main character that executed “aroma therapy” displayed on the screen. All are intended for effect (see FIG. 43 described later). In the present embodiment, the effect of the magic form is not targeted for the main character itself that has executed “aromatherapy” (the numerical value of HP is not added due to an effect such as HP recovery).
[0096]
“Duration” indicates a period during which a magic effect (the above “effect content” and “effect range”) determined according to the combination of “specific items” lasts. For example, “only when in use”, “1 turn”, or “2 turns” is set. As shown in FIG. 41, the “duration” is set such that the longer the “consumption MP” of the “specific item” selected as “topping” is, the longer the duration is. For example, when “specific item A” (consumption MP “10”, see FIG. 37) is “base” and “specific item B” (consumption MP “10”, see FIG. 37) is “topping”, “continuation” “Period” is “only in use”. In comparison, “specific item A” (consumption MP “10”, see FIG. 37) is “base” and “specific item G” (consumption MP “40”, see FIG. 37) is “topping”. The “duration” in this case is “2 turns”. Here, “1 turn” means the action sequence of the main character to which the command is input according to the action sequence assigned by executing the “WP subtraction process” of FIG. Is a period from when the command is assigned until command input is permitted. Further, “2 turns” is a period of 2 times of the above “1 turn”. Further, “in use” is a period from when the action control of the main character to which a command is input according to the action order is executed until the action control ends.
[0097]
“Consumed MP” indicates a numerical value of MP to be subtracted from the remaining MP of the executed main character when “aroma therapy” is executed in the battle scene. In this embodiment, when “aroma therapy” is executed, the sum of “consumed MP” set in the two “specific items” combined is subtracted from the remaining MP of the main character. For example, when “specific item A” is determined as “base” and “specific item B” is determined as “topping”, “consumed MP” “10” set in “specific item A” is set to “ “20”, which is a value obtained by adding “consumed MP” “10” set in “specific item B”, is “consumed MP” when “aromatherapy” is executed under the combination condition of this “specific item”. Become.
[0098]
Further, as shown in FIG. 41, even when the same “specific item” (“specific item A” and “specific item E”) is combined, if the “specific item” determined as “base” is different ( If the order of combining “specific items” is different, the magic form is determined so that different effects (“effect content”, “effect range”, “duration”) are executed. For example, when the same “specific item” (“specific item A” and “specific item E”) is combined, “specific item A” is determined as “base” and “specific item E” is determined as “topping” The combination condition ("No03" in the figure) is different from the combination condition ("No22" in the figure) in which "specific item E" is determined as "base" and "specific item A" is determined as "topping". The magic form having the effect (“No 03” is “HP small recovery”, “No 22” is “physical attack small increase”) is determined. In this way, even in a predetermined combination form in which the same specific items are combined, different magic forms are determined according to the combination order by changing the combination order of the specific items. You can enjoy more changes in battle. Further, when determining the combination conditions, the battle is performed in consideration of not only the types of specific items but also the order of the combination, so that the pleasure of formulating a battle strategy is further increased and the interest in battle is enhanced.
[0099]
Further, in the present invention, when a combination condition of “specific item” having good compatibility is set and “aroma therapy” is executed under this combination condition, a special effect (“* special” in FIG. 41) is obtained. Is going to be executed. In FIG. 41, for example, “specific item C” is determined as “base” and “specific item E” is determined as “topping”, and “specific item G” is determined as “base” and “topping” is “ A special effect is to be executed in the case of two combinations of conditions when “specific item A” is determined. Further, the “consumed MP” when this special effect is executed is set to twice the numerical value calculated from the combination of the “specific item”. For example, when “specific item C” is determined as “base” and “specific item E” is determined as “topping”, “specific item E” is added to “consumption MP” “20” of “specific item C”. “50”, which is a value obtained by adding the “consumed MP” of “30”, becomes the normal “consumed MP”. However, as shown in FIG. Yes. In this way, by setting a special combination condition in the combination between “specific items”, it is possible to give the player the pleasure of finding such a combination condition. In some cases, it is suitable for enhancing the interest of the game.
[0100]
As described above, in ST115 in FIG. 36, the effect of the magic form is determined based on the “base” and “topping” recorded in the RAM 23 in ST112 and ST114 and the “magic form determination table” in FIG. It will be. In this way, a magic form to be used is determined by combining a plurality of specific items, and a magic attack or magic effect corresponding to the determined magic form is executed, so a variation of the magic attack or magic effect Will increase the pleasure of formulating battle strategies, and will enhance the interest in the battle scene.
[0101]
In ST115 of FIG. 36, in addition to the determination of the magic form. An “aroma therapy table” shown in FIG. 42 described later is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23. In the “judgment ring determination process” of FIG. 25 to be described later, a judgment ring display form used for determining whether or not to execute “aroma therapy” based on the “aroma therapy table” set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23. Is determined. Also, this judgment ring is displayed on the display 16 in order to determine whether or not to execute the “aroma therapy” after the “aroma therapy” command is input and the combination of the “specific item” is determined. It is a variable display area. After this process ends, the “magic form determination process” ends, and the process proceeds to ST76 in FIG.
[0102]
[Judgment processing, etc.]
FIG. 15 shows the procedure of “judgment processing”. First, it is determined whether or not a target character that is a target of an action (attack, use of attack magic, use of recovery magic, use of the “aroma therapy”, etc.) performed based on the selected command has been selected (ST81). ). Specifically, when the command selection is completed on the “command selection screen” of FIG. 9, the “target character selection screen” as shown in FIG. 16 is displayed, and the target character is selected by the player on the screen. The target character is selected as follows. That is, the selection mark 46 displayed on the “target character selection screen” is moved by the operation of the up button 7 or the down button 8 by the player, and the selection mark 46 is displayed overhead when the ○ button 12 is operated. Character is determined as the target character. FIG. 16 shows a case where the selection mark 46 is displayed above the enemy character A 114 and the enemy character is determined as the target character. In addition, not only the enemy character but also the main character that is a friend may be the target character.
[0103]
If “YES” in ST81, a “judgment ring determination process” is executed (ST82), followed by a “judgment ring determination process” (ST83). The “judgment ring determination process” and the “judgment ring determination process” will be described later.
[0104]
Subsequently, the values of HP, MP, and SP are updated based on the damage amount or recovery value calculated in the “judgment ring determination process” in ST83 (ST84). Here, addition and subtraction of HP and MP and subtraction of SP according to the damage amount, recovery value, and the like are performed. As for the subtraction of SP, “1” is subtracted every time the process of ST84 is executed. That is, it is assumed that “1” is decreased for each “turn” of the character. In this process, when the “aroma therapy” is executed, the “consumed MP” (see FIG. 41) may be subtracted in accordance with the determined combination of the “specific item”. In addition, HP, MP, and SP may be added depending on the effect of the “aroma therapy” performed.
[0105]
Next, the character status is updated according to the contents determined in ST82 and ST83 (ST85). When the status of the character is updated to “abnormal status” in this process, the character enters an abnormal state different from the normal state. This “abnormal status” varies depending on the type of attacked item or magic. For example, the “poison” abnormal status is an abnormal status in which the character's physical strength is automatically reduced each time the main character takes action when receiving magic from an enemy or attacking a predetermined item. is there. In addition, the “fossilized” abnormal status is an abnormal status in which when a magic is received from an enemy or an attack by a predetermined item is received, the character is hardened like a stone and command input is impossible. In addition, in this process, when the above “aroma therapy” is executed, the “abnormal status” such as “poison”, “fossilization”, etc. is updated to “normal status” according to the effect of the executed “aroma therapy”. There is a case.
[0106]
Then, based on the updated parameters, a display of an effect image in which the main character performs a predetermined action (attack, magic, etc.) on the target character is executed (ST86), and the “judgment process” is terminated. The process is moved to ST37 of 5.
[0107]
Also, in this process, when the above “aroma therapy” is executed, “aroma therapy” effect screens 1 and 2 as shown in FIGS. 43 and 44 are displayed on the display 16.
[0108]
FIG. 43 shows the “Aromatherapy” effect screen 1. In the “Aromatherapy” effect screen 1, the effect range 120 of the magic form executed by “Aromatherapy” is displayed in a circular shape within a predetermined range centered on the main character A111 that has executed “Aromatherapy”. . In “Aromatherapy”, the main character (main character B112, main character D117 in the figure) displayed within the displayed effect range 120 is set as the effect target of the executed magic form, and the target is determined according to the effect. Effects such as addition of the main character's HP, MP, SP, etc., and update of the “abnormal status” are controlled. Thus, since the main character within the range centering on the main character that executes the magic form is the target of the effect of the magic form, for example, what kind of positional relation the character uses is the magic used. The pleasure of making a battle strategy such as whether the form is most effective arises, and the player's interest in the battle can be increased.
[0109]
In addition, on the “Aromatherapy” effect screen 1, the effect of the executed magic form (“effect content”, “duration”, etc.), and additional values such as HP, MP, SP (eg, “HP20 up”, etc.) The name of the updated “abnormal status” (for example, “poison recovery”, etc.) may be displayed. Thereby, the player can clearly know the effect of the “aroma therapy” performed, and may be able to play the game with a sense of security. Further, when the executed “aromatherapy” is the combination condition of the “specific item” selected for the first time in the battle scene, the addition values such as the above-mentioned HP, MP, SP, etc. may not be displayed. . As a result, the player does not know what effect the combination of the selected “specific items” has, so that it is possible to provide an unexpected game, to make the player have a sense of expectation, and to increase the interest in the game In some cases, it is suitable. In addition, there is a case where a pleasure of discovering what kind of effect the selected “specific item” combination has is generated, which may be suitable for enhancing the interest in the game.
[0110]
In addition, based on the “duration” of the effect of the magical form executed in “aromatherapy” (“when used”, “1 turn” or “2 turns”, see FIG. 41 above), Effects such as display control of the effect range 120, addition of the above-mentioned HP, MP, SP, etc. of the target main character, update of the “abnormal status”, and the like are controlled in accordance with the effect. As described above, the effect of the magic form does not end at the time of execution, and may continue until the number of times of arrival (turn) of the action order with respect to the main character reaches a predetermined number of times. The game can be advantageously developed compared to the case, and the player's interest in the battle can be increased.
[0111]
In the present embodiment, display control may be performed so that the main character moves on the display 16 based on a command input. When the movement display control of the main character is performed, the display control is performed so that the effect range 120 centered on the main character is also moved along with the movement of the main character that has executed the “aroma therapy”. Is called. This situation is shown in the “aroma therapy” effect image 2 of FIG. In the “Aromatherapy” effect screen 2 of FIG. 44, a state is shown in which the main character A111 that has performed “Aromatherapy” in FIG. 43 has moved to the right, and the effect range 120 has also moved accordingly. Thereby, the state (the main character B112 and the main character C113 in the drawing) of the effect target main character displayed in the effect range 120 is also displayed. Then, effects such as addition of the above-described HP, MP, SP, etc., update of the “abnormal status”, and the like are displayed and controlled for the changed effect target main character.
[0112]
Here, in the game according to the present invention, immediately before the main character performs an action based on the selection command with respect to the target character, a judgment ring 100 as a variable display area is displayed as shown in FIG. A parameter necessary for determining the above effect is determined using.
[0113]
Here, as shown in FIG. 17, the judgment ring 100 is displayed in a tilted state. On the judgment ring 100, a rotation bar 101 is displayed as a fluctuation area that rotates clockwise like a clock hand with the center point of the judgment ring 100 as a fulcrum. On the judgment ring 100, an area colored in a predetermined angle range (hereinafter referred to as “timing area”) is displayed. This timing area is an “effective area” that is relatively advantageous to the player.
[0114]
Thereafter, the rotation of the rotation bar 101 is started, and the content of the parameter is changed depending on whether or not the player has operated the circle button 12 when the rotation bar 101 passes over the timing area. Here, as shown in FIG. 17, the timing area is composed of three timing areas. The timing area where the rotation bar 101 first passes is “first timing area” 102, and the timing area where the rotation bar 101 passes next is “first timing area”. 2 timing area ”103 and the last passing timing area as“ third timing area ”104.
[0115]
For example, when the operation of the ○ button 12 is successfully performed on three timing areas, that is, when the ○ button 12 can be operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the three timing areas, then the main character becomes the target character. The action to take is effective. If the “fight” command is selected, the enemy character will be attacked three times with a predetermined attack power, and the enemy character will be damaged. The magic having resilience can be applied to the ally character three times, and the resilience can be given to the ally character. Further, if the “aromatherapy” command is selected and the determined magic form is executed, the predetermined effect can be executed three times for the teammate character.
[0116]
On the other hand, when the operation timing of the ○ button 12 is removed on one timing area, the effect assigned to that timing area becomes invalid. In particular, if all three attempts fail, the effect is zero. Further, in this embodiment, a method of visually recognizing the effective area of the judgment ring 100 is adopted. However, what is essential is that the player can recognize the operation timing by acting on the five senses of the player. For example, an auditory configuration that generates a specific sound for a predetermined time and requests an operation within the generation section, or a tactile sense that requests the operation within the vibration generation section by vibrating the controller 4 or the mobile terminal itself. It is also possible to adopt a simple configuration.
[0117]
FIG. 18 shows a state where the O button 12 is operated when the rotation bar 101 passes over the first timing area 102. As shown in FIG. 18, when the operation is successfully performed on the first timing area 102, for example, “Cool” is displayed.
[0118]
FIG. 19 shows a state where the O button 12 is operated when the rotation bar 101 passes over the second timing area 103. As shown in FIG. 19, when a successful operation can be performed on the second timing area 102, for example, “Good” is displayed.
[0119]
FIG. 20 shows a state where the O button 12 is operated when the rotation bar 101 passes over the third timing area 104. As shown in FIG. 20, when the operation is successful on the third timing area 104, for example, “Perfect” is displayed.
[0120]
FIG. 21 shows a state where the O button 12 is operated before the rotation bar 101 reaches the first timing area 102, that is, the operation of the O button 12 on the timing area fails. As shown in FIG. 21, when the operation of the ○ button 12 on the timing area fails, for example, “Miss” is displayed.
[0121]
FIG. 22 shows the rotation of the rotating bar 101 when the operation of the ○ button 12 is successfully performed on the three timing areas, that is, when the rotating button 101 is operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the three timing areas. The state after the stop is shown. As shown in FIG. 22, the judgment ring 100 is broken into pieces at the same time as the rotation of the rotary bar 101 is stopped, and the state in which the fragments are scattered is displayed. Thereafter, the main character A111 for which the “fight” command is selected in FIG. 9 moves toward the enemy character A114 selected as the target character in FIG. The attack power (the damage amount of the enemy character) at this time varies depending on the operation timing of the ○ button 12 in the judgment ring 100.
[0122]
FIG. 23 shows a state in which the main character A111 is acting on the enemy character A114 based on the selected command and the operation result displayed on the judgment ring 100. Here, a case where the “fight” command is selected is shown, and the main character A111 shows an attack on the enemy character A114. As described above, when the operation of the ○ button 12 is successfully performed on the three timing areas while the judgment ring 100 is displayed, the main character A111 performs three attacks with the predetermined attack power against the enemy character A114 on this screen. Execute.
[0123]
In the above embodiment, even if the first operation fails, the second operation can be challenged. However, the operation reception may be terminated when the first operation fails.
[0124]
FIG. 24 shows a state when the main character A111 finishes the attack on the enemy character A114 and returns to the original position. Here, the period from the start (state shown in FIG. 23) to the end (state shown in FIG. 24) of the main character (including itself) or the enemy character on the target character is referred to as “1 turn”. The display process for “turn” is performed in the “effect image display process” in ST86 of FIG.
[0125]
[Judgment ring decision processing, etc.]
FIG. 25 shows the procedure of the “judgment ring determination process” in ST82 of FIG. Here, first, a “weapon table” (FIG. 26, described later), a “special table” (FIG. 31, described later), an “aromatherapy table” (FIG. 42, described later), and an “item table” (FIG. 26) set in the RAM 23. 33, which will be described later), the timing area range is determined (ST91). Subsequently, based on the judgment ring correction parameter described later, the timing area range determined in ST91, the predetermined rotation speed and rotation speed of the rotating bar, and the size of the judgment ring are corrected (ST92). Here, the rotation speed of the rotation bar is set to 1.5 seconds as a basic speed, and the rotation speed of the rotation bar is set to one rotation as a basic rotation speed. Then, the judgment ring 100 is displayed within the timing area finally determined in ST92, and the judgment ring fluctuation display process is performed to display the rotation of the rotation bar 101 according to the determined rotation speed and rotation speed of the rotation bar ( (ST93), the “judgment ring determination process” is terminated, and the process proceeds to ST83 in FIG. The timing area and the judgment ring correction parameter will be described below.
[0126]
FIG. 26 shows a “weapon table”. This is a table that is set when the “fight” command is selected by the player. As shown in FIG. 26, weapons that can be used are determined according to the type of the main character, and the used item individual ability and the range of each timing area are set according to the type of the weapon. In this table, although the main character D is omitted, weapons that can be used for the main character D as well as the main characters A to C are determined. And the range of each timing area are set.
[0127]
The used item individual ability is used for calculating the damage amount (opposite damage amount) of the enemy character, and the damage amount of the enemy character increases as the numerical value of the used item individual ability increases.
[0128]
As shown in FIG. 28, the timing area range is indicated by an angle range surrounded by a “start angle” and a “end angle” where the rotation start position 100a of the rotation bar 101 is 0 °. Further, as shown in FIG. 26, the “end angle” is set to a different value depending on the type of weapon used. For example, when the main character is the main character A and the weapon used is the weapon A1, the first timing area 102 sets an angle range of 90 ° with a head angle of 45 ° and a terminal angle of 135 ° as the timing area range. Is done. In the second timing area 103, an angle range of 67 ° in which the start angle is 180 ° and the end angle is 247 ° is set as the range of the timing area. In the third timing area 104, a 45 ° angle range in which the leading angle is 292 ° and the terminating angle is 337 ° is set as the timing area range.
[0129]
Further, in the judgment ring 100, if the O button 12 can be operated when passing through a predetermined range of each timing area, the damage amount of the enemy character is increased by 20%, that is, as a special effective area that becomes 1.2 times. "120% area" is set. The “120% region” is formed in a range from the angular position obtained by subtracting the angle of the “120% region” from the terminal angle to the terminal angle.
[0130]
FIG. 27 shows a calculation formula for calculating the opponent damage amount of the enemy character.
[0131]
As shown in FIG. 27, the “assigned value” is “0.2” for the first attack, “0.3” for the second attack, and “0.5” for the third attack. Is set.
[0132]
The “SP remaining amount correction value” is “1” until the current SP falls below 25% of the maximum SP, that is, while “25−current SP / maximum SP × 100 ≦ 0” is satisfied. When 25% of SP is cut, that is, when “25−current SP / maximum SP × 100> 0” is satisfied, SP becomes “1.01” obtained by adding “0.01”. Then, every time the SP decreases by 1 point, “0.01” is added. That is, each time the SP decreases by 1 point, the opponent damage amount is set to increase by 1%.
[0133]
“Character individual ability” indicates the STR (physical attack power) shown in FIG. 8, and “Use item individual ability” is a value set according to the type of the main character and weapon shown in FIG. .
[0134]
The “judgment ring correction value” is “1.2” when the O button 12 is operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the 120% area of the timing area, and the rotation bar 101 is the 120% area of the timing area. It is “1” when the ○ button 12 is operated when it is on a region other than “0”, and “0” when the ○ button 12 is not operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the timing area. .
[0135]
For example, when the “fight” command is selected, the ○ button 12 can be operated when the operation of the ○ button 12 is successfully performed on three timing areas, that is, when the rotation bar 101 is on the three timing areas. After that, the main character repeats the attack three times against the enemy character and gives predetermined damage. For example, when the main character A attacks with the weapon A1, the opponent damage amount in the first attack is “0.2 × SP remaining amount correction value × STR × 6 × 1 (1.2)”. Points for the amount of damage to the opponent are subtracted from the enemy character's HP. Similarly, the opponent damage amount in the second attack is “0.3 × SP remaining amount correction value × STR × 6 × 1 (1.2)”, and the opponent damage amount in the third attack is “0.5. × SP remaining amount correction value × STR × 6 × 1 (1.2) ”, which is subtracted from the enemy character's HP, respectively.
[0136]
On the other hand, when the operation timing of the ○ button 12 is removed from one timing area, the “judgment ring correction value” in the subsequent timing area becomes “0”. For example, when the main character A attacks using the weapon A1, and the ○ button 12 can be operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the first timing area, the opponent damage amount in the first attack is “0” .2 × SP remaining amount correction value × STR × 6 × 1 (1.2) ”, but when the operation timing of the ○ button 12 is removed on the second timing area, the second and third attacks The “judgment ring correction value” is “0”, and the opponent damage amount is also “0”.
[0137]
Here, when the HP of the enemy character becomes “0”, the main character defeats the enemy character.
[0138]
[Judgment ring display mode processing, etc.]
FIG. 28 shows a display mode of the judgment ring 100 displayed at the time of command determination. Here, the judgment ring 100 at the time of command determination when the main character is the main character A and the “battle” command using the weapon A1 is selected is shown. This judgment ring 100 is formed in the angular range of each timing area set in the “weapon table” shown in FIG. When the main character is the main character A and the “battle” command is selected using the weapon A1, the first timing area 102 has a head angle of 45 °, a terminal angle of 135 °, and the head of the second timing area 103. The angle is 180 °, the end angle is 247 °, the leading angle of the third timing area 104 is 292 °, and the end angle is 337 °. As shown in FIG. 28, the “120% region” is a range 102a from “105 °” obtained by subtracting 30 ° from the end angle of 135 ° to “135 °” of the end angle in the first timing area 102. Yes, in the second timing area 103, the range 103a is from “224 °” obtained by subtracting 23 ° from the end angle of 247 ° to “247 °” of the end angle. In the third timing area 104, the end angle is 337 °. This is a range 104a from “322 °” obtained by subtracting 15 ° from the end angle “337 °”.
[0139]
FIG. 29 shows a display mode of the judgment ring 100 after the command is determined. Here, a state in which the rotation bar 101 starts rotating and passes over the first timing area 102 is shown.
[0140]
The “120% region” is not limited to the above case. For example, as shown in FIG. 30 (1), “120% region” is provided in a range from the tip angle to a predetermined angle, or as shown in FIG. 30 (2), two “120% regions” are provided. It may be. FIG. 30 (1) shows the case where the range 102a from the tip angle 45 ° to the angle 65 ° obtained by adding 20 ° is set to “120% region”. Further, in FIG. 30 (2), the range 102a from the tip angle 45 ° to 65 ° obtained by adding 20 ° and the range obtained by subtracting 30 ° from the end angle 135 ° to 105 ° is expressed as “120. % Area ”is shown.
[0141]
FIG. 31 shows a “special table”. This is a table that is set when the “special” command is selected by the player. Here, “special” is a command that uses special abilities (special abilities) set individually for each character. For example, in the case of the main character A, the character is transformed into a fusion monster, which will be described later. In the state, the place where the attack magic could not be used can be used. As shown in FIG. 31, special abilities that can be used are determined depending on the type of the main character, and a capability value and a range of each timing area are set for each special ability.
[0142]
As shown in FIG. 31, when the main character is the main character A, the attack magics 1 to 3 can be used as special abilities, and the ability values set for these use the attack magics 1 to 3. This is used to calculate the amount of damage to the opponent for damaging the enemy character. In this case, the greater the ability value of the special ability to be used, the larger the damage amount of the enemy character, that is, the number of points for reducing the enemy character's HP. These attack magics 1 to 3 can be used when transformed into a fusion monster described later.
[0143]
On the other hand, when the main character is the main character B, the recovery magics 1 to 3 can be used as special abilities, and the ability values set for these use the recovery magics 1 to 3 to recover the ally character. It is used to calculate the recovery value. In this case, the greater the ability value of the special ability to be used, the greater the recovery value of the teammate character, that is, the number of points for restoring the HP of the teammate character that has been damaged by the enemy character.
[0144]
Like the “weapon table” in FIG. 26, the timing area range is indicated by an angle range surrounded by “start angle” and “end angle” where the rotation start position 100a of the rotation bar 101 is 0 °. Different values are set for the “start angle” and the “end angle” depending on the type of special ability to be used. In addition, in this “special” table, only the first timing area 102 is set depending on the type of special ability used, or only the first timing area 102 and the second timing area 103 are set. There is a case. Note that the special character is not prepared for the main character C, and neither the ability value nor the timing area range is set in the “special table”.
[0145]
FIG. 32 shows a calculation formula for calculating the opponent damage amount when the attack magics 1 to 3 are used as the special ability, and a calculation formula for calculating a recovery value when the recovery magic 1 to 3 is used as the special ability.
[0146]
As shown in FIG. 32, the “assigned value” is “0.2” when the first special ability is used, “0.3” when the second special ability is used, and “0.3” when the third special ability is used. It is set to “0.5”.
[0147]
The “character individual ability” used in the calculation formula for calculating the amount of damage to the opponent when using the attack magics 1 to 3 in FIG. 32 (1) indicates the INT (magic attack power) shown in FIG. “The ability value of the special ability to be used” is an ability value set according to the type of the main character and the special ability to be used shown in FIG.
[0148]
The “judgment ring correction value” is “1.2” when the O button 12 is operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the 120% area of the timing area, and the rotation bar 101 is the 120% area of the timing area. It is “1” when the ○ button 12 is operated when it is on a region other than “0”, and “0” when the ○ button 12 is not operated when the rotation bar 101 is on the timing area. .
[0149]
For example, when the “special” command is selected and attack magic is selected as the special ability to be used, if the operation of the ○ button 12 is successful in all the displayed timing areas, then the main character Attacks enemy characters with attack magic and deals predetermined damage. For example, when the main character A attacks using the attack magic 1, since only one timing area is set, the attack by the attack magic is performed only once. The opponent damage amount at this time is “0.2 × INT × 99 × 1 (1.2)” from FIG. 32 (1), and points corresponding to this opponent damage amount are subtracted from the enemy character's HP.
[0150]
In addition, when the “special” command is selected and the recovery magic is selected as the special ability to be used, if the operation of the ○ button 12 is successful in all the displayed timing areas, the main character is Restores allies with recovery magic. For example, when the main character B uses the recovery magic 1, since only one timing area is set, the recovery magic is used only once for the ally character. The recovery value of the teammate character at this time is “0.2 × 19 × 1 (1.2)” from FIG. 32 (2), and the points corresponding to the recovery value are added to the HP of the teammate character.
[0151]
When comparing the timing area ranges of the respective tables for each character, the timing area range set for the main character A in the “weapon table” of FIG. 26 is the timing area set for the main character B. Generally wider than the range. For example, the sum of the timing area ranges set for the weapon A1 is an angle range of (135 ° −45 °) + (247 ° −180 °) + (337 ° −292 °) = 202 °, and the weapon B1 The total of the timing area ranges set in (125 ° −50 °) + (205 ° −157 °) + (282 ° −247 °) = 185 °.
[0152]
This is because the main character A is a male character and has a narrative setting that has strong arm strength and high physical attack power. Accordingly, the main character A excels in attacks using weapons. Therefore, when using a weapon, that is, when the weapon table is selected, the range of the timing area is set wide, and the difficulty of operating the judgment ring 100 is low.
[0153]
On the other hand, in the “special table” of FIG. 31, the range of the timing area set for the main character B is wider than the range of the timing area set for the main character A.
[0154]
This is because the main character B is a female character and is set on the story of a magician, so when using recovery magic, that is, when the special table is selected, the timing area range is set wide, and the judgment ring The difficulty of operation of 100 is low.
[0155]
In this way, by incorporating the characteristics of each character from the story setting into the execution conditions of the judgment ring 100, it is not only a mere technical intervention element, but also the fun of searching for a command that matches the characteristics of each character. Born and added to the fun of games.
[0156]
FIG. 42 shows an “aromatherapy table”. This is a table set in the RAM 23 when the “aroma therapy” command is selected by the player. As shown in FIG. 42, a range of each timing area is set for each combination condition of “specific item”. Note that the “aromatherapy table” in FIG. 42 illustrates only two combinations of “specific items”, but the “aromatherapy table” is shown in the “magic form determination table” in FIG. Each timing area range is set for each combination condition of all “specific items”.
[0157]
Like the “weapon table” in FIG. 26, the timing area range is indicated by an angle range surrounded by “start angle” and “end angle” where the rotation start position 100a of the rotation bar 101 is 0 °. Different values are set for the “first angle” and the “end angle” depending on the determined combination condition of the “specific item”. The greater the angle range, the lower the difficulty of operation input, and the smaller the angle range, the higher the difficulty.
[0158]
In addition, in this “aroma therapy table”, only the first timing area 102 is set according to the determined combination condition of the “specific item”, or the first timing area 102 and the second timing area 103 are set. There are cases where only two of these are set. Further, “120% region” may or may not be set according to the determined combination condition of “specific item”.
[0159]
In FIG. 42, “specific item A” is determined as “base”, “specific item E” is determined as “topping”, and “specific item E” is determined as “base”. The combination condition that determines “specific item A” is illustrated as an example. When both are compared, even if the same “specific item” (“specific item A” and “specific item E”) is combined, if the “specific item” determined as the “base” is different (“specific item”) If the order of combining is different), judgment rings having different timing area ranges will be displayed. Thus, since different values are set according to the determined combination condition of “specific item”, for example, if the level of difficulty is set according to the magnitude of the effect of the magic form, depending on the situation You will be able to use different magic forms and enjoy changes in battle.
[0160]
In the present embodiment, the judgment ring used for determining whether or not to execute “aroma therapy” is determined as a different display form for each determined combination condition. Not limited to this, for example, a judgment ring having about four types of display forms is set in advance, and about four kinds of the above are based on the magnitude of the effect of the magic form determined according to the determined combination condition. One kind of judgment ring may be determined from the judgment ring having the display form. As a result, the player only needs to grasp the four types of display forms, and therefore can easily play the game without being burdened.
[0161]
FIG. 33 shows an “item table”. This is a table set when the “item” command is selected by the player, and the used item individual ability and the range of each timing area are set according to the type of the item to be used. As shown in the “item table”, items A to C can be used in common for all main characters. These items A to C are items for recovering the HP of a friendly character who has received damage from the enemy character and is decreasing. Therefore, the used item individual ability in the “item table” is used to calculate a recovery value for recovering the ally character with these items A to C.
[0162]
The calculation formula for calculating the recovery value when the main character uses the items A to C is the same as FIG. 32 (2), and the “assigned value” is “0.2” when the first item is used. When the item is used for the second time, it is set to “0.3”.
[0163]
FIG. 34 shows the “judgment ring correction parameter table”. This “judgment ring correction parameter table” is a parameter (hereinafter referred to as “judgment ring correction parameter”) that changes the display mode of the judgment ring 100 (timing area range, rotation speed and speed of the rotation bar 101, and size of the judgment ring). And the content of the change in the display mode.
[0164]
The types of judgment ring correction parameters shown in the “judgment ring correction parameter table” include “item”, “enemy magic”, and “event type”.
[0165]
As shown in this “judgment ring correction parameter table”, 10 items (item D to item M) are set in the “item” as the judgment ring correction parameter, and these items are displayed on each submap. The main character party can be obtained by clearing a predetermined condition. When these items are used in a battle scene, a store, etc., the displayed display form of the judgment ring 100 is displayed in a very advantageous state for the player, unlike the normal state.
[0166]
Describe the effects of using each item.
[0167]
(1) When item D or item E is used, the range of the timing area is doubled. That is, the operation of the ○ button 12 becomes easy.
[0168]
(2) When item F or item G is used, the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 is halved. That is, the operation of the ○ button 12 becomes easy.
[0169]
(3) When item H is used, the range of the timing area is doubled and the rotation speed is halved.
[0170]
(4) When item I is used, the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 increases or decreases slowly or irregularly. However, if the button 12 is operated well, the attack power, that is, the damage amount to the opponent is 3 It becomes double and it becomes a very advantageous state.
[0171]
(5) When item J is used, the entire range on the judgment ring 100 is the timing area. That is, the operation is successful even if the O button 12 is operated at any position.
[0172]
(6) When the item K is used, the number of rotations of the rotation bar 101 is usually one time and is a maximum of seven. In this case, the player can carefully operate the ○ button 12.
[0173]
(7) When the item L is used, the effect of the item I works, the rotation speed increases, and the opponent damage amount increases in accordance with the number of rotations when the operation of the ○ button 12 is successful.
[0174]
(8) When the item M is used, the timing area is not displayed on the judgment ring 100, but the number and attack power of the main characters attacking at random are determined according to the operation timing of the ○ button 12.
[0175]
In this “judgment ring correction parameter table”, a blank portion where nothing is described is a case where there is no change from the normal time.
[0176]
Thus, since the player can develop a very advantageous game by obtaining the items D to M as these judgment ring correction parameters, these are set as rare items that are relatively difficult to obtain. .
[0177]
“Enemy magic” set as a judgment ring correction parameter indicates the specific enemy magic of the magic of the enemy character (this is called “enemy magic”), and the enemy character received these enemy magic. In this case, the display mode of the judgment ring 100 is disadvantageous for the player. In this “judgment ring correction parameter table”, six types of enemy magic (enemy magic A to enemy magic F) are set in “enemy magic” as the judgment ring correction parameter.
[0178]
Explain the effect of receiving enemy magic.
[0179]
(1) When the main character receives the enemy magic A, the range of the timing area on the judgment ring 100 is halved.
[0180]
(2) When the main character receives the enemy magic B, the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 is doubled.
[0181]
(3) When the main character receives the enemy magic C, the size of the judgment ring 100 is halved.
[0182]
(4) When the main character receives the enemy magic D, the size of the judgment ring 100 is doubled, but the timing area on the judgment ring 100 is halved.
[0183]
(5) When the main character receives the enemy magic E, the size of the judgment ring 100 is doubled, but the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 increases or decreases and changes irregularly. In this case, even if the O button 12 is successfully operated, the attack power does not triple as in the case of the item I, and is normal attack power.
[0184]
(6) When the main character receives the enemy magic F, the timing area range, the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101, and the size of the judgment ring 100 are randomly determined in a range from 1/2 to 2 times.
[0185]
The “event type” set as the judgment ring correction parameter is an event in which the party of the main character battles against a specific enemy character, and when the event occurs, the display state of the judgment ring 100 is disadvantageous for the player. It becomes. In this “judgment ring correction parameter table”, four event types (medium bosses A to C and lath bosses) are set in the “event type” as the judgment ring correction parameter.
[0186]
The effect when each event type occurs will be described.
[0187]
(1) The event type “middle boss A” is an event in which the party of the main character encounters and battles against “middle boss A” which is a kind of enemy boss character. When this event occurs, the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 is doubled.
[0188]
(2) The event type “middle boss B” is an event in which the party of the main character encounters and battles against “middle boss B” which is a kind of enemy boss character. When this event occurs, the timing area range is halved.
[0189]
(3) The event type “middle boss C” is an event in which the party of the main character encounters and battles against “middle boss C” which is a kind of enemy boss character. When this event occurs, the range of the timing area is halved, and the rotation speed of the rotation bar 101 increases or decreases and changes irregularly.
[0190]
(4) The event type “Last Boss” is an event in which the party of the main character encounters and battles against “Last Boss” which is a kind of enemy boss character. When this event occurs, the timing area range is halved.
[0191]
Here, since the boss character is an enemy character that can acquire a great number of experience points by defeating it compared to a normal enemy character, the display mode of the judgment ring 100 is difficult for the player to operate as described above. It becomes a state.
[0192]
[Judgment ring judgment processing, etc.]
FIG. 35 shows the procedure of the “judgment ring determination process” in ST83 (FIG. 15). This process is a process after the rotation of the rotation bar 101 in the judgment ring 100 is started in the “judgment ring determination process”. First, the player operates the ○ button 12 to determine whether or not the operation signal is input. Determine (ST101). If “NO”, the process proceeds to ST107, and if “YES”, that is, if the input of the operation signal is confirmed, it is subsequently determined whether or not the rotation bar 101 is on the timing area ( ST102).
[0193]
If “NO” in the determination of ST102, the process proceeds to ST107. If “YES”, that is, if the rotation bar 101 is on the timing area, the position where the rotation bar 101 is located is the 120% region. It is determined whether it is above (ST103). Here, the case of “NO” in the determination of ST102 is a case where the operation of the ○ button 12 cannot be performed when the rotation bar 101 is on the timing area. In this case, the subsequent operation of the ○ button 12 becomes invalid, and the display termination condition of the judgment ring 100 is achieved.
[0194]
If “YES” in the determination of ST103, that is, if the rotation bar 101 is on the 120% region, “1.2” is set as a judgment ring correction value in a predetermined region of the RAM 23 (ST104). On the other hand, if “NO” in the determination of ST103, that is, if the rotation bar 101 is on a timing area other than the 120% area, “1” is set as a judgment ring correction value in a predetermined area of the RAM 23 (ST105). .
[0195]
Subsequently, based on the selected command, the type of main character, and the item used, the opponent damage amount or the recovery value is calculated by a predetermined calculation formula, and the calculation result is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 23 (ST106).
[0196]
In ST107, it is determined whether or not the display end condition of the judgment ring 100 has been achieved. Termination conditions are: (1) the specified number of rotations (usually one time, the number of rotations may increase depending on the judgment ring correction parameter), (2) the specified number of pushing operations (usually 3 Digested at different times, depending on various parameters. If “YES” in the determination in ST107, the “judgment ring determination process” is terminated, and the process proceeds to ST84 in FIG. 15. If “NO”, the process returns to ST101.
