JP 2000-218054 A

  In the above conventional game, the time space of the moving scene and the time space of the battle scene are not linked, and the time of the moving scene is stopped from the start to the end of the battle scene. Therefore, even if another enemy character exists near the enemy character in the moving scene, unlike the real world, there is no need to worry about the other enemy character, and the player is in the battle I just had to think about the fighting strategy with my enemy characters. For this reason, for example, in the case where the self-character battles with an easily victorious enemy character, the monotonous battle strategy is completed, so that the player's tension cannot be increased, and the interest of the game is impaired. There was a problem that.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional circumstances, and in a game in which a battle with an enemy character is started in response to the self character encountering an enemy character on a map corresponding to the game space, the enemy character The purpose of the present invention is to realize a game in which the tension of the player in the battle scene is enhanced and to prevent the interest of the game from being impaired.

  The present invention functions as a game device that starts a battle with an enemy character in response to an enemy character operated by a player encountering an enemy character on the map of the game space as an opponent of the player's own character. This is realized as a game program.

  The game program according to the present invention displays a map image of the game space on the screen, displays an image representing the self character on the map image according to the position information of the self character, and displays the image on the map image according to the position information of the enemy character. Map display means for displaying an image representing the enemy character, detection means for detecting an enemy character whose distance from the self character is a predetermined value or less based on the position information of the self character and the position information of the enemy character, A battle scene display means for displaying an image showing a battle scene with the enemy character as an opponent in response to detection of an enemy character whose distance from the self character is a predetermined value or less; At least one or more opportunities given to the player to receive an operation input related to the battle An enemy position updating unit that updates the position information of an enemy character that is not in a battle and moves a representation image of the enemy character on the map image, and the detection unit that updates the position information of the enemy character that is not in a battle The computer is caused to function as an opponent addition means for adding a newly detected enemy character to the opponent and changing the display of the battle scene when the distance to the opponent is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

  That is, the present invention moves another enemy character on the map of the moving scene at one or a plurality of opportunities (turns) given to the player in order to accept an operation input related to the battle in the battle scene, and displays the state on the screen. Displayed to inform the player, and the enemy character that newly arrived at the battle position participates (adds to the opponent). The time space of the movement scene and the time space of the battle scene are linked, As the battle scene progresses, the moving scene also advances.

  In other words, it has an unprecedented configuration in which the operation input related to the battle also affects the behavior of enemy characters that are not in battle, and there is a sense of crisis and impatience that the possibility of new enemy characters entering the battle will increase as the battle is prolonged. A sense is brought to the player, and there is a need to consider a battle strategy in consideration of enemy characters that are not in a battle, so that the player's tension in the battle scene is enhanced.

  In the present invention, the position information of the enemy character may be updated so that an enemy character that is not in a battle approaches the own character. Thus, for example, when it is desired to avoid a battle with an approaching enemy character, the player is required to finish the battle quickly by winning the enemy character in the battle or escaping from the enemy character in the battle. Therefore, the tension in the battle scene is enhanced.

  In the present invention, the position information of the enemy character may be updated so that an enemy character that is not in a battle (for example, an enemy character having an important role in the game progress) is moved away from the self character. Thus, for example, when a player wants to battle with an enemy character that moves away, the player is required to finish the battle quickly by winning the enemy character in battle or running away from the enemy character in battle. The tension in the scene is increased.

  In the present invention, the position information of enemy characters that are not in a battle may be updated with a random movement distance, but it is desirable to update the position information so as to move by a certain distance. Thus, for example, the player can grasp the number of battle operations that can be performed before an approaching enemy character participates, for example, the number of battle operations that can be performed before losing sight of an enemy character that moves away. It can be useful when thinking.

  In the present invention, an image representing an enemy character may be displayed in a manner corresponding to attribute information indicating the feature of the enemy character. As a result, for example, the strength of the approaching enemy character or the fact that the moving away enemy character possesses a valuable item, for example, can be grasped, so that the player can use it when considering a battle strategy.

  In the present invention, the battle scene display means and the map display means may display each image in a different area in the common screen, and display each image on a different screen. May be.

  The present invention can also be realized as a storage medium that stores a computer-readable game program that causes a computer to function as each of the above-described functional units, and a game device that includes the above-described functional units. In addition, each function means with which the game device which concerns on this invention is provided can be comprised by making a computer run the game program which concerns on this invention, and can also be comprised by a dedicated hardware circuit.

  According to the present invention, another enemy character is moved on the map of the moving scene at every one or more occasions given to the player in order to receive an operation input related to the battle in the battle scene, and the state is displayed on the screen. Since the enemy character that newly arrived at the battle position participates in the battle, the enemy character that is not in battle brings a sense of crisis or impatience to the player. Thereby, when considering a battle strategy, a new determination element of considering an enemy character that is not in a battle is added, and the sense of tension in the battle scene is further enhanced, so that it is possible to prevent the game from being impaired.

The present invention will be specifically described based on examples.

FIG. 5A is a display example at a certain point in the battle scene. According to FIG. 5, it can be recognized that a visible enemy character exists 2 squares below the self character. This visible enemy character is set in the enemy character attribute information 20 so as to approach the self character one square at every opportunity (turn) given to the player in order to receive an operation input related to the battle. In addition, since the direction in which the visible enemy character can move is defined by the squares, the player can easily grasp the grace period until the visible enemy character reaches the battle position.
The visible enemy character may be set so as to be far from the self character. Further, the movement distance may be a plurality of squares or may be different every time. Moreover, you may make it move every several turns (for example, 3 turns).

  FIGS. 5B and 5C show how the display changes as the turn progresses with the visible enemy character approaching one square below the self character. First, FIG. As shown in FIG. 5 (c), after displaying a message S1 notifying that a new enemy character has reached (participated) on the screen 2, as shown in FIG. The battle image N of the enemy character is displayed on the screen 2.

Note that the map image of the enemy character may be displayed in a manner according to the characteristics of the enemy character (for example, ability or possession). For example, the enemy character having higher ability may be displayed with a darker color. For example, when a description indicating the possession of the enemy character is added and displayed, the player can use it for determining whether to escape from the enemy character or to follow the enemy character.

FIG. 6 shows a processing procedure in the game apparatus 1 of this example.
At the start of the game, the scene is a moving scene, and the control unit 11 reads out the landscape image information 23 and the map image information 22 corresponding to the self-character position information 16 from the storage unit 15 and uses the first display unit 12 to view the landscape of the game space. The image is displayed on the screen 2, and the map image is displayed on the screen 3 by the second display unit 13 (step S1). The screen 3 also displays a map image of the self character and a map image of a visible enemy character existing in the vicinity.

In the movement scene, when the input unit 14 receives an operation input related to movement from the player (step S2), the self-character movement control unit 24 updates the self-character position information 16 according to the operation input (step S3).
The enemy character encounter detection unit 25 determines whether the self character has encountered the enemy character based on the self character position information 16, the enemy character position information 17, and the visible enemy character position information 18, and detects the encountered enemy character. (Step S4). As a result, when the enemy character is not encountered, the moving scene of the self character is continued, and when the enemy character is encountered, the moving scene is switched to perform the following processing.

  The battle control unit 26 reads the battle image information 21 and the map image information 22 corresponding to the self-character position information 16 from the storage unit 15, and displays the background image of the battle scene on the screen 2 by the first display unit 12. The map image is displayed on the screen 3 by the second display unit 13 (step S5). The screen 2 also displays a battle image of the self-character and the battle image of the enemy character encountered, and the screen 3 displays a map image of the self-character and a map image of a visible enemy character existing in the vicinity. Is also displayed.

  In the battle scene, an operation input is received for each turn, and when the input unit 14 receives an operation input related to the battle from the player (step S6), the battle control unit 26 performs a battle operation according to the operation input (for example, Attacking, defending, casting magic, using tools), and subtracting the value calculated based on the defense value of the self character and the attack value of the enemy character from the physical character of the self character. The self-character attribute information 19 is updated, and for example, the enemy character attribute information 20 is updated by subtracting the value calculated based on the attack power value of the self-character and the defense power value of the enemy character from the physical strength value of the enemy character (step S7). ).

Then, the battle control unit 26 determines whether or not the physical strength value of the self character is “0” or less (step S8), and determines whether or not the physical strength values of all enemy characters in the battle are “0” or less (step). S9) is performed, and the following processing is performed according to the determination result.
When the physical character has a physical strength value of “0” or less, the battle scene ends and the game ends.
When the physical strength values of all enemy characters in the battle are “0” or less, the battle scene is finished and the movement scene is restored.
When the physical strength value of the self-character and the physical strength values of all enemy characters in the battle are not less than “0”, a position update instruction signal is output to the visible enemy character movement control unit 27.

When receiving the position update instruction signal from the battle control unit 26, the visible enemy character movement control unit 27 updates the visible enemy character position information 18 that is not in a battle (step S10).
The visible enemy character position determination unit 28 determines whether the visible enemy character has reached the battle position based on the self-character position information 16 and the visible enemy character position information 18, and detects the reached visible enemy character (step S11). ).
When the visible enemy character reaches the battle position, under the control of the battle control unit 26, the enemy character is added to the opponent and a battle image of the enemy character is added to the screen 2 and displayed. The display on the screen 3 is updated based on the updated visible enemy character position information 18 (step S12).
If the visible enemy character has not reached the battle position, the display on the screen 3 is updated based on the updated visible enemy character position information 18 under the control of the battle control unit 26 (step S13).
After updating the display of screen 2 and screen 3, the process proceeds to the next turn, and the above processing (steps S6 to S13) is repeated until the battle scene is completed.

In this example, in a moving scene, a visible enemy character that the player can recognize on the map and an invisible enemy character that cannot be recognized are prepared and the encounter with the self character is detected, but the visible enemy character or the invisible enemy character One of the above may be prepared to detect an encounter with the self character.
Further, in this example, in the battle scene, an enemy character that is not in a battle is moved in response to receiving an operation input related to the battle at each turn from the player, but may be moved before receiving the operation input. Any enemy character that is not in battle may move at least once every turn.

  In this example, the enemy character encounter detection unit 25 and the visible enemy character position determination unit 28 constitute a detection unit according to the present invention, and the battle control unit 26 and the first display unit 12 constitute a battle scene display unit according to the present invention. The battle control unit 26 and the second display unit 13 constitute a map display unit according to the present invention, the visible enemy character movement control unit 27 configures an enemy position update unit according to the present invention, and the battle control unit 26 plays a battle. It constitutes a partner addition means.

  That is, the game device of this example is a game that starts a battle with an enemy character in response to the fact that the player character operated by the player encounters an enemy character that is the opponent of the player character on the game space map. The apparatus has two screens, displays a map image of the game space on the screen, displays an image representing the self character on the map image according to the position information of the self character, and maps according to the position information of the enemy character. An enemy character whose distance from the self character is a predetermined value or less based on map display means for displaying an image representing the enemy character on one screen on the image, and the position information of the self character and the position information of the enemy character An enemy character whose distance between the detection means and the self character is less than a predetermined value is detected. In response to this, a battle scene display means for displaying an image showing a battle scene with the enemy character as an opponent on the other screen, and an operation input related to the battle in the battle scene with the enemy character are given to the player. Update the position information of the enemy character that is not in the battle and update the position information of the enemy character that is not in the battle by updating the position information of the enemy character that is not in the battle and moving the representation image of the enemy character on the map image And an opponent adding means for changing the display of the battle scene by adding to the opponent an enemy character newly detected that the distance from the self character is equal to or less than a predetermined value by the detecting means.
