Description

  The present invention relates to a game program, a game apparatus, and a recording medium, and in particular, determines an action order of a plurality of characters, selects an action mode of the character, and performs character action control based on the action mode. The present invention relates to a game program, a game device, and a recording medium.

  Conventionally, in a virtual world on a screen of a computer or a display device, command input or the like is performed in accordance with a player's operation, and a character action mode in a game is selected according to a predetermined action order. Various game programs are provided that allow a player to play the role of a character or the like by progressing through a preset story. Such a game is generally referred to as “RPG” (Role Playing Game).

  Such a game program includes a battle scene in which a character operated in response to an operation of a player (hereinafter referred to as “player character”) and an enemy character controlled by a computer are included. It is generally known that an experience value or virtual money is obtained by defeating, and the story progresses while raising the character level.

  In such a game program, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, when an action such as an attack by a player character is performed in a battle scene, the player's operation is performed for each player character according to a predetermined action order. In response to this, command input or the like is performed, and the action mode of the character is selected based on the character data corresponding to the character and the operation thereof. Note that display control in which such a behavior mode is selected is referred to as character behavior selection display control. Then, after the character's behavior mode is selected, the character's behavior control is performed, such as display control in which the character battles is performed based on the character's behavior mode. The display control in which the actual character action based on the selection of the action mode is referred to as character action display control. In this way, the battle scene is executed by repeatedly switching between the character action selection display control and the character action display control according to a predetermined order. In addition, when character action display control is being executed, display control that gives a dynamic force to the character or the like so that the player can clearly recognize the character that is performing the action. Is done.

In addition, for example, as shown in Patent Document 2, a game program in which specific image control is not performed, such as fog processing on a display target such as a character to be displayed on the screen, is disclosed, and an image display full of realism is disclosed. To improve the interest of the game. In addition, when a display area that displays a display target and a non-display area that does not display the display target are set on the screen based on the capacity of the display target, and it is determined that the display target is included in the non-display area Discloses a game program in which the display target is not displayed and specific image control is not performed, and many characters can be displayed on one screen in image processing during the game.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-237071 JP 2001-351123 A

  However, in the above-described game program, specific image control is simply performed in the battle scene, so that the control load increases, the displayed image deteriorates such as frame delay and frame skipping, and the interest in the game is reduced. There was a risk of inviting. On the other hand, in order to prevent such deterioration of the image, if the number of display objects to be displayed is limited, the character that should be displayed depending on the position of the character may be omitted and not displayed. There is a possibility that the player may feel uncomfortable, and it is difficult to say that a game with a high presence is provided.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides a game program, a game device, and a recording medium that can suppress a decrease in interest in a game and can enhance a sense of reality for the game. Objective.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following.

Selection of the character and behavior control of the character based on the behavior mode of the selected character are executed, and display control of selection of the behavior mode of the character to be executed and character behavior control is performed. Then, the execution of specific image control is restricted while the character behavior control is being performed among the selection of the character behavior mode and the character behavior control. Therefore, even if the control load of image control other than execution of specific image control with a high control load is increased while behavior control of a character with a relatively large control load is being performed, Since the image control is limited, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the image and to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game. In addition, while the action mode of a character with a relatively small control load is being selected, specific image control is executed, and there is no limit on the number of characters to be displayed. Characters are displayed without being omitted, and further, specific image processing is performed, so that it is possible to enhance a sense of reality for the game.

  According to the invention described in (2), while the action control of the character is being performed, the specific image control is invalidated as a restriction on the specific image control. Therefore, specific image control with a high control load is not executed at all, and only the other image control can be executed, and further deterioration of the image can be prevented and a decrease in interest in the game can be suppressed. .

  According to the present invention, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the game and to enhance the sense of reality for the game.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Character individual ability]
The RAM 23 described above stores a game program in the DVD-ROM 31 and parameters related to the character based on the memory card 32. As a specific example of such a parameter relating to a character, character individual ability will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the individual character abilities of the player character A and the player character B. The character individual abilities of the player character A and the player character B will be described below, but the character individual abilities of other player characters and enemy characters are also stored in the RAM 23.

  The character individual ability shown in FIG. 3 is stored for each of a plurality of characters appearing in the game. The types of character individual abilities include hit points (hereinafter referred to as “HP”), magic points (hereinafter referred to as “MP”), sanity points (hereinafter referred to as “SP”), physical attack power (hereinafter referred to as “STR”), Physical defense power (hereinafter referred to as “VIT”), quickness (hereinafter referred to as “AGL”), magic attack power (hereinafter referred to as “INT”), magic defense power (hereinafter referred to as “POW”) and luck (hereinafter referred to as “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.

  The character individual ability is set according to the character level (hereinafter referred to as “LV”). This LV changes according to experience values stored cumulatively according to experiences such as battles during the game. In particular, for HP, MP, and SP, the maximum HP, maximum MP, and maximum SP corresponding to the character individual ability and the actual HP, MP, and SP that change during the game are stored. Of course, AGL and LUC also change depending on the special item or special technique as described later.

  These individual character abilities are loaded in the RAM 23 as described above. These individual character abilities vary depending on weapons, armor, items, etc. equipped on the character. Further, these individual character abilities vary according to the magic applied by the character and the items used.

  As described above, the CPU 21 reads parameters related to the character such as the individual character ability stored in the RAM 23 from the RAM 23. The CPU 21 for loading such a character individual ability table into the RAM 23 and the RAM 23 correspond to an example of character data storage means for storing a plurality of character data relating to a plurality of characters. Incidentally, the DVD-ROM 31 in which such a character individual ability table is stored also corresponds to the character data storage means.

[Display screen]
Next, a specific example of the display screen displayed on the display 16 according to the game content executed by the CPU 21 based on the game program recorded on the DVD-ROM 31 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  When the DVD-ROM 31 is loaded in the DVD-ROM drive 29 and the apparatus main body 1 is turned on, “Opening Demo” is displayed on the display 16. The “opening demo” is an effect display indicating the start of the game. After the “opening demo” is displayed for a predetermined time, as shown in FIG. 4A, a “title screen” in which the game title is drawn is displayed.

  Specifically, the characters of the game title “SHADOW HEARTS” are displayed, and two selection items (“NEW GAME” and “CONTINUE”) are displayed below. Further, the cursor 41 is displayed at the left position of the selection item “NEW GAME” or “CONTINUE”, and the position of the cursor 41 is switched by the operation of the up button 7 or the down button 8 by the player. When the circle button 12 is operated by the player, the selection item indicated by the cursor 41 is selected.

  When “NEW GAME” is selected on the “title screen”, the prologue and game contents are displayed, and thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4 (2), “world map” is displayed. On the other hand, when “CONTINUE” is selected on the “title screen”, the “world map” is displayed based on the save data at the end of the previous game without displaying the prologue and game contents. .

  Specifically, on this “world map”, major cities of “Country A” that is the stage of the game story are displayed, and selection items (“city A” 42a, “city B”) indicated by five city names are displayed. 42b, "City C" 42c, "City D" 42d, "City E" 42e) are displayed. These are selection items for shifting to a “submap” prepared in advance. The cursor 41 indicating each selection item is moved by the operation of the up button 7 or the down button 8 by the player, and one selection item is selected by the operation of the circle 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 and displayed as a background image in accordance with the scene development, and the player character and other players capture various events while moving through the scene, and the story progresses.

  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”. In addition, when a city is selected while the “world map” is displayed, a start screen of a “submap” corresponding to the city is displayed. The action on the “submap” can be an action such as a player character walking, talking to a passerby, or shopping.

  In the game according to the present embodiment, a player character that acts based on the player's operation and an enemy character that acts based only on the game program appear, and a game that develops centering on the battle between the two characters. This is realized on the display 16. In the present embodiment, four player characters, ie, a player character A111, a player character B112, a player character C113, and a player character D114 (both see FIG. 5A) appear, and the game is the four characters. It shall act in the party unit formed. 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.

  Thereafter, when the party of the player character that has started the action on the “submap” encounters an enemy character, the battle with the enemy character is started as shown in FIG. In this case, for example, a battle with three enemy characters, the enemy character a115, the enemy character b116, and the enemy character c117, is started.

  In such a battle screen, the action order of all the characters (including the player character and the enemy character) is determined, and the action is selected and controlled according to the action order.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, the battle between the player character A111, the player character B112, the player character C113, and the player character D114, and the enemy character a115, enemy character b116, and enemy character c117 is started. . In addition, an action order image 118 predicted in advance is displayed at the upper part of the screen as shown in FIG. In addition, an action character image 119 indicating the character in the action order is displayed.

  When the player character A111 becomes an action character in accordance with the action order, an action selection screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 5 (2), and an attack or the like of the player character A111 is performed based on the operation of the controller 4. A type of action is selected. Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (1), the action target selection screen is displayed, and the action target of the player character A111 in the type of action is selected. Then, as shown in FIG. 6B, the judgment ring screen is displayed, the judgment ring 100 and the rotation bar 101 are displayed, and the success or failure of the action, the effect of the action, etc. are determined based on the operation of the controller 4. . The judgment ring will be described in detail later with reference to FIGS.

  7 (1) and 7 (2) based on the action type, action target, action success / failure, action effect, and the like of the player character A111 selected and determined based on the operation of the controller 4. As shown, the action effect screen of the player character A111 is displayed.

  Although details will be described later, in the action selection screen, the action target selection screen, and the judgment ring screen as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, blurring processing for realistically expressing the depth in the virtual three-dimensional space is performed. Although being executed, the blurring process is invalidated (restricted) on the action effect screen as shown in FIG.

[Blur processing]
The blurring process is a process for producing a virtual three-dimensional space, and its effect brings a sense of perspective and an infinite feeling to the game screen. Such blurring processing will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The blurring process is executed based on the distance in the depth direction between the viewpoint position 214 and the character 212, as shown in FIG. Specifically, the viewpoint position 214 and the position of the character 212 are separated by a symbol a in the depth direction. A plurality of reference positions 210a and 210b are set at a predetermined distance from the viewpoint position 214 in the depth direction. Then, based on the distance between the viewpoint position 214 and the character 212, two reference positions (for example, reference positions 210a and 210b) sandwiching the character are determined. That is, based on the character distance in the depth direction between the viewpoint position and the character, the first reference position 210a shorter than the character distance and the second reference position 210b longer than the character distance are detected.

  The texture transparency at the reference position 210a is set as α1, and the texture transparency at the reference position 210b is set as α2. Note that the transmittance α1 having a short distance from the viewpoint position 214 in the depth direction is set to be lower than the transmittance α2 having a long distance from the viewpoint position 214 in the depth direction.

  Then, the distance from the two reference positions 210a and 210b to the position of the character 212 is calculated. Specifically, a distance from the first reference position 210a to the character 212 is a code b1, and a distance from the second reference position 210b to the character 212 is a code b2. Then, based on the distance of the character 212 from the first reference position 210a and the second reference position 210b and the transparency at the first reference position 210a and the second reference position 210b, the transparency of the character 212 is determined. Is calculated. As a result, the reference position closer to the viewpoint position 214 has lower transparency, that is, higher reflectivity, and a clear image can be displayed.

  In addition to the blurring process, bi-linear interpolation, tri-linear interpolation, and the like are executed on the texture color itself that is actually pasted on the polygon of the character 212.

  As a specific example, when the distance from the viewpoint position increases in the order of the player character A111, the player character B112, the player character C113, and the player character D114, as shown in FIG. The images are displayed as clear images, and are displayed as clear images in the order of the player character B112, the player character C113, and the player character D114. In FIG. 18, in order to express the blurring degree of the display target, the line type of the line indicating the player character is changed for each player character. Specifically, the player character C, the player character D, and the like are shown using broken lines, but are not actually displayed as broken lines.

  In this way, blur control is performed based on the transparency set according to the distance from the viewpoint position in the depth direction, for example, the focal point from the viewpoint position (set as the point in focus). It becomes possible to generate an image that appears blurred as it becomes farther from the point, and so-called depth of field (depth of focus) can be expressed. Thus, unlike a conventional image in which all subjects in the screen are in focus, a real and natural game image focused according to the distance from the viewpoint like a real-world view image can be generated. As a result, the virtual reality of the player can be significantly improved.

[Description of judgment ring]
Here, the above-described judgment ring will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The judgment ring 100 as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed immediately before the player character performs action control based on the selection command with respect to the target character, and parameters necessary for determining the effect are determined using this. Is done. FIG. 8 shows the judgment ring 100 at the time of command determination when the player character A111 is an action character and a soft hit is selected.

  The judgment ring 100 as the reference area is displayed in an inclined state as shown in FIG. 6 (2). Then, on such a judgment ring 100, as shown in FIG. 8, a rotation bar 101 is displayed as a fluctuation region that rotates clockwise with a central point as a fulcrum like a clock hand. That is, the rotation bar 101 as the changing region changes relatively with respect to the reference region. The variable display area whose display form changes with the passage of time is formed by a reference area and a variable area that varies relative to the reference area.

  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. In the judgment ring 100, areas other than the “effective area” are “ineffective areas” that are relatively disadvantageous to the player. In addition, such a timing area includes a 120% area as a “special effective area” described later.

  That is, the reference area is formed including an effective area that is relatively advantageous to the player and an ineffective area that is relatively disadvantageous to the player, and the effective area includes a special effective area that is further advantageous to the player. The area is included. Accordingly, the first effect that is relatively advantageous to the player, the second effect that is relatively disadvantageous to the player, and the third effect that is relatively more advantageous to the player than the first effect are provided. As a result, the effect of the action form is determined.

  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, the timing area is composed of three timing areas as shown in FIG. 8, 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.

  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, the player character becomes the target character thereafter. 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 player character three times, and the resilience can be given to the player character.

  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 the present embodiment, a method of visually recognizing the effective area of the judgment ring 100 is adopted, but in short, any configuration that allows the player to recognize the operation timing by acting on the five senses of the player may be used. 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.

  Such a judgment ring 100 is formed in the angular range of each timing area. Specifically, when the action character is the player character A111, and the attack command is selected, the first angle of the first timing area 102 is 45 °, the end angle is 135 °, and the start angle of the second timing area 103 is The end angle is determined to be 180 °, the end angle is 247 °, the start angle of the third timing area 104 is 292 °, and the end angle is 337 °. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the “120% region” is a range 102a from “105 °” obtained by subtracting 30 ° from the terminal angle of 135 ° to “135 °” of the terminal 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 °”.

  FIG. 9 shows a display mode of the judgment ring 100 after command determination. Here, a state in which the rotation bar 101 starts rotating and passes over the first timing area 102 is shown.

  The “120% region” is not limited to the above case. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (1), “120% region” is provided in the range from the tip angle to a predetermined angle, or as shown in FIG. 10 (2), two “120% regions” are provided. It may be. FIG. 10A shows a case where the range 102a from the tip angle 45 ° to the angle 65 ° obtained by adding 20 ° is defined as “120% region”. In FIG. 10 (2), the range 102a from the tip angle of 45 ° to the angle obtained by adding 20 ° to 65 ° and the range from the end angle 135 ° to the angle of 105 ° obtained by subtracting 30 ° are expressed as “120. % Area ”is shown.

[Operation of game device]
Various processes executed in the above-described configuration will be described below with reference to FIGS.

[Main game processing]
As described above, 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, and the main game as shown in FIG. Processing will be executed.

  First, as shown in FIG. 11, it is determined whether “NEW GAME” is selected from two selection items on the “title screen” as shown in FIG. 4A (ST1). When this determination is “YES”, the prologue and game contents are displayed (ST2). When “NO”, that is, when it is determined that “CONTINUE” is selected on the “title screen”, the prologue and the game content are displayed. The save data at the end of the previous game is set without displaying the game content (ST3).

  Next, the “world map” shown in FIG. 4B is displayed (ST4). Then, it is determined whether any of the selection items displayed on the “world map” is selected (ST5). When this determination is “YES”, a start screen of the “submap” corresponding to the selection is displayed. The party of the player character starts an action on the “submap” (ST6). On the other hand, when the determination in ST5 is “NO”, it is determined whether or not there is a display request for “menu screen” by operating the □ button 14 on the “world map” (ST20). When this determination is “YES”, a “menu screen” is displayed and various setting processes are performed in accordance with the player's operation (ST21), and then the process proceeds to ST5. On the other hand, when the determination in ST20 is “NO”, the process is moved again to ST5. Here, the action on the “submap” is an action such as a player character walking, talking to a passer-by, or shopping. In addition, the “menu screen” can be displayed by operating the □ button 14 on the “submap”, and various operations can be performed. For example, by selecting the “tool” command, the tool command process is executed to restore the player character's ability, and by selecting the “buy and sell” command, the buying and selling process is executed, and the possessed item Can be bought and sold.

  Next, it is determined whether the party of the player character that started the action on the “submap” has encountered an enemy character (ST7), and when this determination is “YES”, “battle processing” is started (ST8). . When the “battle process” is started, the process proceeds to a “battle scene” where a battle between the party of the player character and the enemy character is performed. This “battle processing” will be described later with reference to FIG. On the other hand, if the determination in ST7 is “NO”, it is determined whether any event has occurred (ST9). If this determination is “YES”, the process moves to ST16, and if “NO”, the process moves to ST6 again.

  Next, in the “battle scene” executed by the “battle process”, it is determined whether the party of the player character has successfully escaped from the enemy character (ST10). When this determination is “YES”, the process moves to ST16, and on the other hand, when the escape from the enemy character fails or when the battle with the enemy character is performed, the party of the player character becomes the enemy in the “battle scene”. It is determined whether or not the character is won (ST11). When this determination is “YES”, that is, when the party of the player 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 an item or money (ST12). And the level of the said character is raised according to the experience value of each character (ST13). On the other hand, when the determination in ST11 is “NO”, that is, when the party of the player character cannot win the enemy character, it is determined whether or not all the party of the player character has died (ST14). When this determination is “YES”, the game is over (ST15), the main game process is terminated, and when it is “NO”, the process proceeds to ST16.

  In ST16, a movie corresponding to the situation is displayed, and then it is determined whether the request condition of the selected submap has been cleared (ST17). When this determination is “NO”, the process proceeds to ST6 again, and when “YES”, it is determined whether or not to move to the ending (ST18). When this determination is “YES”, a predetermined ending display is performed (ST19), and this main game process is ended. On the other hand, when the determination in ST18 is “NO”, the process is moved again to ST4.

[Battle processing]
The “battle process” described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 12, a parameter relating to a character is set, a turn interval value is calculated, and a setting process is executed (ST30). In this process, the CPU 21 reads out the parameters relating to the characters from the predetermined areas of the RAM 23 and DVD-ROM 31 and sets them on the predetermined areas of the RAM 23. Here, the characters correspond to a plurality of characters including a player character and an enemy character that appear in the “battle scene”. The turn interval value is a value for determining the action order, and is calculated for each of a plurality of characters (including player characters and enemy characters). The turn interval value is determined according to the quickness (AGL) and luck (LUC) set for each of the plurality of characters and the execution command correction value corresponding to the command type to be executed. Then, the CPU 21 sets the turn interval value calculated for each of the plurality of characters to appear in the “battle scene” on a predetermined area of the RAM 23. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of the character action order determination means which determines the action order of a some character. If this process ends, the process moves to ST31.

  In ST31, a battle scene start screen of “battle scene” as shown in FIG. 5 (1) is displayed. On this start screen, a party of player characters (player character A111, player character B112, player character C113, and player character D114) is displayed in front. In addition, enemy characters (for example, enemy character a115, enemy character b116, and enemy character c117) are displayed at positions corresponding to the player characters on the opposite side of the player characters. Further, although display is omitted in FIG. 5A, information regarding the status of the player character is displayed at the lower right position of the start screen. Furthermore, an action order image 118 in which actions on the player character and the enemy character are executed, and an action character image 119 showing the characters in the action order are displayed at the upper position of the start screen.

  In ST32, “turn order processing” is performed in order to manage the order in which actions such as attacks including the player character and the enemy character can be performed. In this process, the CPU 21 manages the turn order of characters for which command selection is valid based on the turn interval value calculated from the abilities relating to each character. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of the character action order determination means which determines the action order of a some character.

  Further, the CPU 21 displays an image indicating such turn order on the display 16. Further, the CPU 21 zooms up the player character (in this case, the player character A111) for which the command selection is valid, and displays a “command selection screen” as shown in FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to ST33.

  In ST33, it is determined whether or not the character for which command selection is enabled in “turn order processing” is an enemy character. If “YES”, the enemy character performs an attack on the player character according to the game program. Automatic processing is performed (ST34). In this automatic battle process, the CPU 21 executes an action effect screen display control process for the enemy character. As a result, in the display control process (see FIG. 15), which will be described later, a process of displaying an action effect screen for the enemy character is executed. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process will perform display control of the action control of the character in a battle scene. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a character action display control means. Further, as will be described in detail later, specific image control is restricted (invalidated) on such an action effect screen. If this process ends, the process moves to ST36.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in ST33 that the character for which command selection is valid is a player character, “command processing” for receiving command selection by the player's operation is performed (ST35). In this process, a command is selected according to an operation input from the controller 4, and an action form based on the selected command is determined. That is, the CPU 21 that executes such processing executes selection of a character action mode, which will be described later, and character action control in accordance with the action order of a plurality of characters determined in ST30, ST32, ST36, and the like. Become. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a special character action control means.

  On the display 16, the CPU 21 displays a command menu 44 in which commands for determining the action form of the player character A111 are shown as selection items. Then, the CPU 21 moves the selection cursor 45 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) displayed on the left side of the command menu 44 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) by operating the up button 7 or the down button 8 of the controller 4. When the O button 12 is operated, the command with the selection cursor 45 displayed at the left position is selected, and the action form of the player character A111 is determined. The command menu 44 displays various commands represented by “attack”, “magic”, “item”, “defense”, “escape”, and the like.

  And the effect display according to the determined action form is performed. For example, when an attack, magic, specific technique, or item use command (“action” command described later) is selected, an action is performed on a target character such as a player character or enemy character. Display processing is executed. In the “command processing”, “judgment processing” that enables technical intervention based on the operation timing of the player is also performed. Details of this “command processing” will be described later with reference to FIG. If this process ends, the process moves to ST36.

  In ST36, the turn order is updated every time the character performs an action. In this process, the CPU 21 stores the character that performed the action on a predetermined area of the RAM 23 and updates the turn order of the character that performed the action. As a result, when the “turn order process” is executed again, the turn orders are compared, and the character that validates the command selection of the character that performs the action is determined. Further, when all the characters have performed the action, the character that has performed the action is stored as not performing the action. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of the character action order determination means which determines the action order of a some character. If this process ends, the process moves to ST37.

  In ST37, turn order update display processing is executed. In this process, the CPU 21 updates and displays the turn order for executing the action in the next turn based on the turn order updated in the process of ST36. If this process ends, the process moves to ST38.

  In ST38, it is determined whether or not the “battle process” end condition is satisfied. If “NO”, the process returns to ST32, and if “YES”, the “soul point addition process” is executed (ST39). The “battle process” is terminated. 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 player character party has been annihilated. Or an event that ended the battle occurred.

[Command processing]
The above-mentioned “command processing” will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 13, a command screen display control process is executed (ST200). In this process, the CPU 21 sets data for displaying a screen for selecting a command in the RAM 23. Thus, in the display control process (see FIG. 15) described later, a process for displaying the command screen is executed based on the set data. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process will perform display control of selection of the action mode of the character in a battle scene. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a character action display control means. If this process ends, the process moves to ST201.

  In ST201, it is determined whether or not it is an “action selection” command. In this process, the CPU 21 determines whether or not it is an “action selection” command in accordance with an input signal from the controller 4 or the like. The “behavior selection” command here includes the above-described “attack” command and a magic command, and also includes a “specific technique” command such as a “fusion” command, an “item” command, and the like. If the CPU 21 determines that the command is an “action selection” command, it executes “judgment processing” such as physical attack, magic, specific technique, item use, etc. (ST202), and ends this subroutine. Details of the “judgment process” will be described later with reference to FIG. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the command is an “action selection” command, the CPU 21 moves the process to ST203.

  Subsequently, in ST203, the CPU 21 determines whether or not it is a “defense command”. If it is determined that the command is a “defense command”, the CPU 21 executes a defense process (ST204), and ends this subroutine. On the other hand, if it is not determined that the command is a “defense command”, the CPU 21 executes an escape process (ST205). When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

[Judgment processing]
The above-described “judgment process” will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 14, the CPU 21 executes an action selection screen display control process for setting data for displaying an action selection screen on the display 16 in the RAM 23 (ST221), and executes a “command reception process”. (ST222). As a result, in the display control process (see FIG. 15) described later, based on the set data, a process for displaying an action selection screen as shown in FIG. 5 (2) is executed. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process will perform display control of selection of the action mode of the character in a battle scene. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a character action display control means. Then, the CPU 21 determines an action to be executed based on the character data corresponding to the character stored in the RAM 23 in accordance with the operation input signal supplied from the controller 4. Specifically, the type of attack, magic, specific technique, and item to be used is determined. For example, when the “action selection” command is selected, the type of hit (hit) is determined. The types of hits are soft hits, normal hits, hard hits, and the like. If this process ends, the process moves to ST223.

  In ST223, the CPU 21 executes an action target selection screen display control process for setting data for displaying the action target selection screen on the display 16 in the RAM 23, and executes an action target selection command reception process (ST224). Thereby, in the display control process (see FIG. 15) described later, based on the set data, a process for displaying the action target selection screen as shown in FIG. 6A is executed. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process will perform display control of selection of the action mode of the character in a battle scene. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a character action display control means. Then, the CPU 21 performs an action (attack, use of attack magic, use of recovery magic, use of a specific technique, item of an action) performed based on the command selected by the process of ST222 in accordance with the operation input signal supplied from the controller 4. Character) (hereinafter referred to as “target character”) is determined and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 23. If this process ends, the process moves to ST225.

  In ST225, “judgment ring determination process” is executed. In this process, the CPU 21 determines the display form of the judgment ring 100 and the rotation bar 101 according to the ability related to the character performing the action. That is, the CPU 21 determines the display form of the judgment ring 100 and the rotation bar 101 based on the character data corresponding to the character stored in the RAM 23. If this process ends, the process moves to ST226.

  In ST226, the CPU 21 executes a judgment ring screen display control process in which data for displaying the judgment ring screen on the display 16 is set in the RAM 23. As a result, in the display control process (see FIG. 15) described later, based on the set data, a process for displaying a judgment ring screen as shown in FIG. 6 (2) is executed. That is, CPU21 which performs such a process will perform display control of selection of the action mode of the character in a battle scene. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a character action display control means. If this process ends, the process moves to ST227.

  In ST227, a “judgment ring determination process” is executed. In this process, the CPU 21 determines the success or failure of an action such as an attack, the effect of the action, and the like according to an operation input from the controller 4. If this process ends, the process moves to ST228.

  As described above, the CPU 21 selects the action mode of the character based on the operation signal from the controller 4 (operation means) and the plurality of character data stored in the RAM 23. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a character action mode selection means.

  In ST228, individual capability parameters such as HP, MP, SP, AGL, and LUC and status update processing are executed. In this process, the CPU 21 updates the HP, MP, and SP values based on the damage amount or the recovery value calculated by the “judgment ring determination process”. Here, addition and subtraction of HP and MP and subtraction of SP according to the damage amount, recovery value, and the like are performed. The SP is subtracted by “1” every time such processing is executed. That is, it is assumed that “1” is decreased for each turn of the character. Further, the CPU 21 executes update storage of individual ability parameters such as AGL and LUC based on the used special item or the executed special technique. Furthermore, the CPU 21 updates the status of the character according to the action executed by the “judgment ring determination process”. 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 every time the player character takes action when receiving magic from an enemy or receiving an attack with 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. If this process ends, the process moves to ST229.

  In ST229, an action effect screen display control process is executed. In this process, the CPU 21 selects the type of action selected by the “command reception process”, the action target selected by the “action target selection command reception process”, the success or failure of the action executed by the “judgment ring determination process”, Actions as shown in FIG. 7 (1) and FIG. 7 (2), such as performing a predetermined action (attack, applying magic, applying a specific technique, using an item, etc.) based on the effect of the action. The action effect screen display control process for setting data for displaying the effect screen on the display 16 in the RAM 23 is executed. Thereby, in a display control process (see FIG. 15) described later, a process of displaying an action effect screen for the player character is executed based on the set data. As will be described in detail later, specific image control is limited (invalidated) on such an action effect screen. The CPU 21 also displays parameter images such as HP, MP, SP, etc. on the display 16 based on the updated parameters. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  Thus, CPU21 will perform action control of a character based on the action mode of the character selected by ST221 to ST227. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a character action control means. Moreover, CPU21 which performs such a process will perform display control of the action control of the character in a battle scene. In addition, CPU21 which performs such a process is equivalent to an example of a character action display control means.

[Display control processing]
Unlike the process described above, the “display control process” called at a predetermined timing in the image processing unit 24 will be described with reference to FIG. In this process, the screen is displayed based on the data for displaying the screen set in the RAM 23 in the various display control processes described above.

  First, the image processing unit 24 sets a viewpoint position, a light source position, and the like, and executes a display target three-dimensional coordinate calculation process (ST231). In this process, the image processing unit 24 selects a display target based on data supplied from the CPU 21 such as a character to be displayed. Then, the image processing unit 24 reads out the three-dimensional coordinates of all the polygons related to the selected display target and arranges them at the virtual three-dimensional coordinates. If this process ends, the process moves to ST232.

  In ST232, a display target three-dimensional conversion process is executed. In this process, the image processing unit 24 calculates the positional relationship with the display object based on the viewpoint position based on the viewpoint position and the three-dimensional coordinates of the arranged display object. If this process ends, the process moves to ST233.

  In ST233, it is determined whether or not action control is being performed. In this process, the image processing unit 24 determines whether or not the action is being controlled based on whether or not the action effect screen on the player character or the enemy character is displayed based on data set in various display control processes. It will be determined. If the image processing unit 24 determines that action control is being performed, the process proceeds to ST235 without executing ST234. On the other hand, if the image processing unit 24 determines that the behavior control is not being performed, the process proceeds to ST234.

  In ST234, a specific image control process is executed. In this process, the image processing unit 24 executes a blurring process as a specific image control process. The image processing unit 24 calculates the distance between the viewpoint position and the center of the display target. Then, the CPU 21 detects two reference positions based on the distance between the viewpoint position and the center of the display target, and sets the distance between the two reference positions and the center of the display target or the two reference positions. Based on the transmitted transmittance, the transmittance at the center of the display target is calculated. Thereby, the CPU 21 sets data for displaying an image with a focal depth based on the distance of the display target from the viewpoint position. If this process ends, the process moves to ST235.

  In ST235, a rendering process is executed. In this process, the image processing unit 24 generates data for imaging based on the positional relationship with the display target based on the viewpoint position calculated in ST232. In particular, when ST234 is being executed, the image processing unit 24 performs a rendering process in which specific image processing has been executed, and in a case where ST234 has not been executed, rendering processing in which specific image processing is not executed. Will be executed. If this process ends, the process moves to ST236.

  That is, the image processing unit 24 that executes such processing executes specific image control in response to the selection of the action mode of the character whose display is controlled. On the other hand, the image processing unit 24 invalidates the specific image control and restricts the specific image control while the action control of the character is being performed. The image processing unit 24 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of a specific image control execution unit, a specific image control restriction unit, and a specific image control invalidation unit.

  In ST236, it is determined whether or not the processing has been completed for all display targets. In this processing, whether or not the image processing unit 24 has performed the processing from ST231 to ST235 on all the display objects (for example, characters) to be displayed based on the data set in various display control processing. Thus, it is determined whether or not the processing for all display targets has been completed. If the image processing unit 24 determines that the processing has been completed for all display targets, it moves the process to ST237. On the other hand, if the image processing unit 24 determines that the processing for all the display objects has not been completed, the process proceeds to ST231 again, and the processing from ST231 to ST235 is performed on the display objects for which the processing has not been completed. Will be executed.

  In ST237, image display processing is executed. In this processing, the image processing unit 24 renders a display target based on the viewpoint position as a result of rendering in ST235, and displays the rendered image on the display 16. That is, the image processing unit 24 that executes such processing performs display control of selection of a character action mode executed in a battle scene and character action control. The image processing unit 24 that executes such processing corresponds to an example of a character action display control unit. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished.

  As described above, according to the action order of the plurality of characters, the selection of the character action mode based on the operation signal from the operation means that can be operated by the player and the plurality of character data, and the character action mode based on the selected character action mode. The behavior control is executed, and the character behavior mode to be executed and display control of the character behavior control are performed. Then, the execution of specific image control is restricted while the character behavior control is being performed among the selection of the character behavior mode and the character behavior control. Therefore, even if the control load of image control other than execution of specific image control with a high control load is increased while behavior control of a character with a relatively large control load is being performed, Since the image control is limited, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the image and to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game. In addition, while the action mode of a character with a relatively small control load is being selected, specific image control is executed, and there is no limit on the number of characters to be displayed. Characters are displayed without being omitted, and further, specific image processing is performed, so that a sense of reality for the game can be enhanced. Further, while the character's action control is being performed, the specific image control is invalidated as a restriction on the specific image control. Therefore, specific image control with a high control load is not executed at all, and only the other image control can be executed, and further deterioration of the image can be prevented and a decrease in interest in the game can be suppressed. .

[program]
The game program described above will be described in detail. Specifically, this game program is for causing a computer to function as the following means. In other words, the game program is also for causing a computer to execute the following means (process, step). The game program is also for causing a computer to implement the following processing as various functions. In addition, such a computer includes an operation unit that can be operated by a player, a display unit that displays an image related to a game, and the like.

  (A1) Character data storage means (process) for storing a plurality of character data relating to a plurality of characters.

  (A2) Character action order determining means (process) for determining the action order of the plurality of characters.

[Storage medium]
Moreover, as a computer-readable recording medium recording such a game program, ability parameters and possessed item parameters may be stored for each of a plurality of characters in addition to the above-described game program.

[Other Embodiments]
As mentioned above, although embodiment was described, this invention is not restricted to this. For example, the controller 4 operated by the player may be provided integrally with the apparatus main body 1.

  In the present embodiment, after all the characters appearing in the “battle scene” perform the action, the turn order in which the actions of all the characters are executed again is determined. Another form may be sufficient, for example, before all the characters perform action, you may comprise so that the character which complete | finished action execution may perform the next action.

  In the present embodiment, image control for executing blurring processing is employed as specific image control. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the color of the display screen is masked with separately set color data called fog data. The fog processing performed by adjustment may be performed as specific image control. If this fog processing is used, it is possible to show distant objects depending on the color of the fog. For example, if the fog color is white, a fog effect can be obtained. If the fog color is blue, a distant effect can be obtained. In the present embodiment, while the action control of the character is being performed, the specific image control is invalidated as a restriction on the specific image control. Specific actions, such as by switching execution of blur processing for each frame so as to reduce the addition of image control without completely disabling specific image control Image control may be limited. Further, the specific image control may be limited while the character behavior control is performed. For example, the specific image control is not limited at all times during the time when the character behavior control is performed. The specific image control may be limited at least in part of the time.

  Furthermore, the present invention integrally includes an operation unit that can be operated by the player, a display unit that displays images and sounds, a storage unit that stores a game program, and a control unit that executes control processing according to the game program. The present invention can be similarly applied to a portable game device or a desktop game device.

  Further, the game program is stored in a server device connected to a network such as the Internet 56 (see FIG. 16), and a game can be played by connecting to the server device from a personal computer, a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or the like.
