  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of a video game processing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the video game processing apparatus 100 includes a game program reading unit 10, a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a display unit 13, an audio output unit 14, and a player operation reception unit 15.

  The game program reading unit 10 removably receives a game cartridge 20 containing a storage medium storing a game program. The game program reading unit 10 reads a necessary game program from the storage medium of the inserted game cartridge 20. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the video game program classified as RPG is stored in the storage medium built in the game cartridge 20. Note that, for example, any game may be used as long as the arrangement of each of the plurality of player characters can be changed in a battle scene.

  The control unit 11 has a function of executing the game program read by the game program reading unit 10 and executing various controls for advancing the video game in accordance with the operation of the player.

  The storage unit 12 is a storage medium that stores a game program and various data necessary for a video game to proceed. The storage unit 12 is configured by a nonvolatile memory such as a RAM, for example. The storage unit 12 stores various types of information registered / updated as the game progresses, and various types of information used in the game read from the storage medium built in the game cartridge 20.

  In this example, the enemy character management table 12a, the standard required time management table 12b, the point determination table 12c, the party management table 12d, the formation management table 12e, and the role management table 12f are stored in the storage unit 12. Has been. Each table 12a-12f is demonstrated in detail later.

  The display unit 13 is a display device that displays a game screen according to the progress of the game or the player operation in accordance with the control of the control unit 11. The display unit 13 is configured by a liquid crystal display device, for example.

  The sound output unit 14 outputs sound in accordance with the progress of the game and the player operation according to the control of the control unit 11. The player operation receiving unit 15 receives an operation signal corresponding to a player operation from a controller configured by a plurality of buttons, a mouse, and the like, and notifies the control unit 11 of the result.

  Here, an outline of a video game executed by the video game processing apparatus 100 of this example will be described. In this example, the player P operates a party PA composed of a plurality of player characters PC1 to PC3 as shown in FIG. 2, for example, and defeats an enemy character NPC that hinders the action of the party PA in a battle scene. It is assumed that the video game progresses while achieving a predetermined purpose. Specifically, the player P gives a predetermined role to each player character PC1 to PC3 by changing the formation (arrangement of each player character) of the party PA in the battle, and intends to each player character PC1 to PC3. To perform actions (deployment movement, attack, defense, recovery, etc.).

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a game screen (battle screen) for explaining an outline of a battle between a party PA composed of a plurality of player characters PC1 to PC3 and an enemy character NPC in the video game of this example. It is. In this example, as shown in FIG. 2, the player characters PC1 to PC3 and the enemy character NPC belonging to the party PA are displayed on the game screen. The player P determines the basic formation in advance, and sets the arrangement (including roles corresponding to the arrangement) of the player characters PC1 to PC3.

  All the player characters PC1 to PC3 belonging to the party PA are divided into either the front guard or the rear guard according to the distance from the enemy character NPC. In FIG. 2, the player character PC1 attacks the enemy character NPC1 from the front (avant-garde) center position close to the enemy characters NPC1 and 2, and the player character PC2 is a rear-side (rear) right side position far from the enemy characters NPC1 and 2. It is assumed that the player character PC3 assists the player characters PC1 and PC2 at the left side position of the rear side (rear guard) far from the enemy characters NPC1 and 2.

  As a result of the battle proceeding in the state of FIG. 2, when the enemy character NPC1 becomes unable to fight, the enemy character NPC1 that becomes impossible to fight is deleted from the game screen as shown in FIG. At this time, if the player P changes the formation of the party PA to another formation as shown in FIG. 4, for example, an aggressive formation with all the player characters PC1 to PC3 as an avant-garde, The roles given to the player characters PC1 to PC3 are also changed, so that the battle can proceed efficiently.

  In this example, the game proceeds as described above. The player P defeats the enemy character NPC efficiently by switching the formation of the party PA before and during the battle, and proceeds with the game while acquiring points determined from the battle result. In the video game of this example, the player characters PC1 to PC3 belonging to the party PA are individually given roles (including arrangement in the party), and as a result, the formation of the party PA can be changed.

Next, the operation of the video game processing apparatus 100 of this example will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of battle processing executed by the video game processing apparatus 100. In the battle process, a battle between the party PA to which the plurality of player characters PC1 to PC3 belong and the enemy character NPC is executed, and after the battle is over, points are determined according to the time spent in the battle, and the determined points Is given to the party PA. Note that the contents of processing not related to the present invention may be omitted.

  The battle process is started, for example, when the control unit 11 determines that the party PA operated by the player P has encountered the enemy character NPC. In this case, for example, the control unit 11 may monitor whether the coordinates where the enemy character NPC is located and the coordinates where the party PA is located are coordinates within a predetermined distance.

  In the battle process, first, the control unit 11 refers to the enemy character management table 12a and the standard required time management table 12b, and calculates a standard required time required for a battle with the enemy character NPC encountered by the party PA (step). S101).

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the storage state of enemy character information in the enemy character management table 12a. As shown in FIG. 6, the enemy character information includes an enemy character ID for uniquely identifying the enemy character, the name of the corresponding enemy character, HP (current HP / maximum HP), and basic points (enemy character). And the value that is the basis of the points obtained when defeating).

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a storage state of required time information in the standard required time management table 12b. As shown in FIG. 7, in the required time information, the range of the maximum HP (initial HP at the start of battle) of the enemy character is associated with the required time set as the standard time until the enemy character is killed. Information.

  For example, when the enemy character IDs of the enemy character NPC encountered by the party PA are “0001” and “0002”, the control unit 11 performs the enemy character management table 12a and the standard required time management table 12b in step S101. Referring to FIG. 4, the required time (10 seconds) corresponding to the maximum HP of the enemy character “0001” and the required time (20 seconds) corresponding to the maximum HP of the enemy character “0002” are added. The sum (30 seconds) is determined as the standard time required for this battle. In step S101, the control unit 11 adds the basic point of the enemy character “0001” (here “5”) and the basic point of the enemy character “0002” (here “10”). (“15” here) is also calculated.

  When the standard time required for the battle is calculated, the control unit 11 refers to a formation management table 12e described later, and arbitrarily sets the formation of the party PA, for example (step S102). The formation may be configured in advance by the player P, or may be configured to accept a setting by an operation of the player P every time a battle starts.

  When the formation is set, the control unit 11 starts a timer for measuring the battle time, and performs a process (for example, an effect process) for starting a battle between the party PA and the enemy character NPC (step S103). . At this time, the control unit 11 refers to the enemy character management table 12a and the party management table 12d, and displays the enemy character NPC and the party PA on the display screen of the display unit 13 in an identifiable manner.

  When the battle is started, the control unit 11 confirms whether or not a formation change request from the player P has been received (step S104). When receiving the formation change request (Y in step S104), the control unit 11 executes a formation change process (step S105). The formation change process will be described in detail later. On the other hand, when the formation change request is not received (N in Step S104), the control unit 11 proceeds to Step S106. In this example, the control unit 11 can accept an action designation command for designating the action (attack, defense, recovery, etc.) of the party PA at any time during the battle or after the process of steps S104 to S107. Then, a formation change request is accepted.

  In the battle of this example, for example, a “turn system” in which the party PA and the enemy character NPC sequentially attack in a predetermined order, or a character for which a preset standby time has elapsed sequentially attacks. Whether or not an action can be executed is determined according to an attack rule called “active time battle (ATB)”.

  In step S106, the control unit 11 refers to the party management table 12d and executes processing (attack, recovery, defense) according to the current “roll” of the player characters PC1 to PC3. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the storage state of party information in the party management table 12d. As shown in FIG. 8, the party information includes the names of the player characters PC1 to PC3 belonging to the party, the current formation of the party, the current role type of the player characters PC1 to PC3, and the HP of the player characters PC1 to PC3. Information including The “roll” used in this example will be described in detail later.

  If the process according to a roll is performed, the control part 11 will judge whether the battle was complete | finished (step S107). In this example, when all the player characters PC1 to PC3 belonging to the party PA or all enemy characters are in a battle impossible state (when HP becomes 0), or when a predetermined battle time has passed. The battle ends. It should be noted that other conditions, such as when a specific character is in a battle impossible state, may be set as the end condition. When determining that the battle has not ended (N in Step S107), the control unit 11 proceeds to Step S104.

  If it is determined that the battle has ended (Y in step S107), the control unit 11 stops the timer for measuring the battle time and determines whether or not the party PA has won the battle (step S108). . In this example, it is assumed that it is set as a victory condition that all enemy characters NPC are in a battle impossible state. In addition, it is good also as a structure in which the other conditions are set as a victory condition, and the structure in which several victory conditions are provided.

  If it is determined that the party PA has won the battle (Y in step S108), the control unit 11 calculates the ratio of the time (battle time) elapsed from the start to the end of the battle with respect to the standard required time calculated in step S101. The required time consumption rate (for example, 50%) indicating the ratio of the time (for example, 15 seconds) consumed for the battle to the required time (for example, 30 seconds) is calculated (step S109). And the control part 11 calculates the point provided to party PA with reference to the point determination table 12c (step S110). On the other hand, when it is determined that the party PA has not won the battle (N in Step S108), the control unit 11 ends the battle process.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the storage state of the point determination information in the point determination table 12c. As shown in FIG. 9, the point determination information is information in which the range of the required time consumption rate is associated with the bonus coefficient. In this example, the lower the required time consumption rate, the larger the bonus coefficient value is set.

  In step S110, the control unit 11 adds a bonus coefficient (for example, 1.7) corresponding to the required time consumption rate (for example, 50%) calculated in step S109 and the total value (for example, 15) of the basic points calculated in step S101. ) And the product (for example, 25.5). And the control part 11 gives this product to the party PA as a point (step S111), and complete | finishes a battle process. The calculated points may be evenly distributed to the player characters belonging to the party, or may be arbitrarily distributed according to the distribution operation of the player P.

  Further, in this example, the standard required time is determined based on the HP of the enemy character, but other values, for example, the level of the enemy character may be used as a reference, or a configuration based on a plurality of values may be used. Further, in this example, points are calculated using a bonus coefficient that varies depending on the required time consumption rate, but a constant bonus coefficient may be used.

  Next, the formation change process (see step S105 in FIG. 5) executed by the video game processing apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the formation change process executed by the video game processing apparatus 100. Here, the process of receiving the selection of the formation to be changed from the player and changing the arrangement of the player character is executed accordingly.

  In the formation change process, the control unit 11 first refers to the formation management table 12e and confirms a selectable formation (step S201). FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a storage state of formation information in the formation management table 12e. As shown in FIG. 11, the formation information includes the type of formation, the type of role of each player character belonging to the party in the corresponding formation, and selectable information indicating whether or not the corresponding formation can be selected. The associated information. Note that a configuration in which an effect such as “increased attack power” or “increased recovery power” is set according to the type of formation may be adopted.

  Here, whether or not the formation can be selected is determined based on the acquired role information stored in the role management table 12f. The control unit 11 specifies a newly selectable formation in accordance with the change in the acquired role information, and updates the selectable information of the formation information.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a storage state of acquired role information in the role management table 12f. As shown in FIG. 12, the acquired role information is information in which the name of the player character, the acquired role type, and the acquirable role type are associated with each other. Here, the “roll” in this example is for designating a role including the position where each player character belonging to the party can be arranged. The “role” associated with the type of role includes the position where the player character can be placed in the party. In this example, the placement position includes “avant-garde” and “avant-garde”. It is assumed that there are a right side, a center, and a left side, respectively, in the “back guard”. In addition, it is good also as a setting which sets an arrangement position more finely and changes an arrangement automatically on condition of the battle situation of a battle, the state of a play character, etc.

In this example, the following types of rolls are used.
Role A: Role of attacking enemy characters by physical attack at the center of the vanguard Roll B: Role of pursuing enemy characters attacked by other player characters on the right side of the vanguard Roll C: On the right side of the rear guard Role for attacking enemy characters by physical attack Role D: Role for assisting other players in HP recovery at the center of rear guard Role E: While moving randomly on the left side of front and rear guard , The role of attacking enemy characters by physical attack

  In the course of proceeding with the game, the player character is assumed to acquire a roll, for example, by raising the level of the player characters PC1 to PC3. The acquired role is stored in the role management table 12f as an acquired role. Further, it is assumed that a role that can be acquired is set according to the type of the player character and is stored in the role management table 12f as an acquireable role.

  In this example, as the formation information stored in the formation management table 12e, the formations F1, F2, F4, and F5 can be selected according to the acquired role information in the role management table 12f.

  The control unit 11 refers to the formation management table 12e and displays the formations F1, F2, F4, and F5 as formations that can be selected by the player on the display screen of the display unit 13 in an identifiable manner (step S202). Note that an upper limit may be set for the number of formations to be displayed, and the control unit 11 may select the type of formation to be displayed according to a predetermined priority.

  In step S202, the control unit 11 displays a selectable formation on the display screen of the display unit 13, for example, by displaying a formation setting screen as shown in FIG. When a player designates a formation, the player looks at the formation setting screen and decides which formation to select. On the formation setting screen, as shown in FIG. 13, a display area 101 that displays a list of all formation names that can be currently set by the player, and a display area that displays a formation chart of the formation where the position of the cursor K is aligned. 102, a display area 103 for displaying the characteristics of the formation, a display area 104 for displaying the role of each player character in the formation, and a selection for selecting a formation in which the position of the cursor K is aligned. A selection button 105 is provided.

  Further, in this example, it is possible to select several frequently used items from the list of formation names that can be selected and create a shortcut on the game screen being battled. Because of such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 13, on the formation setting screen, a shortcut registration button 107 that is pressed when registering the formation with the position of the cursor K registered in the shortcut, and the shortcut are registered. There is provided a shortcut registration list button 108 that is pressed when browsing a list of formations being viewed. The registered contents of the shortcut can be changed at any time. In this example, the formations set in these shortcuts can be confirmed by selecting commands from the battle screen. At this time, even if the formation is set as a shortcut, it is impossible to select a formation that includes characters that are not currently used by the player. For a formation that cannot be selected, it is desirable to devise the player so that the player can easily be notified that the formation cannot be selected, for example, by graying out the formation name.

  Here, for example, an example of the formation setting screen after the PC 3 newly acquires the role E from the state shown in FIG. 11 will be described. When the PC 3 newly acquires the role E, the new formations F3 and F6 are added to the “selectable formation”.

  When a selectable formation is newly added due to the acquisition of a new role by an arbitrary player character, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, the name of the selectable formation is displayed on the formation setting screen as desired by the player. A formation name setting button 106 that is pressed when setting it may be provided. In this case, for the new formation, the formation name that is most easily associated with the feature of the formation may be arbitrarily set. For example, if the newly acquired formation is a formation that emphasizes avant-garde, a formation name such as “Attack with avant-garde!” Can be assigned. It should be noted that there may be some formations that can be selected at the start of the game, and the formation names may be determined in advance. These predetermined formation names may be changeable by the player or may not be changed.

  In addition, when there is a formation that can be newly selected so that the player can easily recognize whether or not there is a newly added formation when a role is newly acquired, for example, as shown in FIG. It may be possible to make it easier for the player to recognize that a selectable formation has been added by displaying “New” or the like while the list of selectable formation names is displayed.

  Next, the control unit 11 accepts a formation change selection by the player via the player operation accepting unit 15 (step S203), specifies a role to be set for each player character belonging to the party according to the accepted formation to be changed, The party information stored in the party management table 12d is updated (step S204). In step S203, the formation selected on the formation setting screen is accepted as a formation to be changed. For the player, by referring to the formation setting screen, the formation most suitable for each aspect in the battle can be selected.

  When the party information is updated, the control unit 11 refers to the party management table 12d, performs a process for changing the party formation on the game screen (step S206), and ends the formation change process.

  As described above, in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing for displaying the plurality of player characters operated by the player on the display screen and controlling the progress of the video game including the battle with the plurality of enemy characters. Battle efficiency information indicating how efficiently the apparatus 100 controls a battle between a party to which a plurality of player characters belong and an enemy character, and when the party wins and the battle ends, the battle is efficiently led in the battle. In accordance with the determined battle efficiency points, according to the determined battle efficiency points, determine the victory privilege points to be given to the party as a privilege that won the battle, and give the determined victory privilege points to the party Because the value of the points you earn by winning the battle Description intimately bringing into association the to be able to control the progress of the game, it is possible to provide a capable video game to increase the interest of the battle scene.

  That is, a battle efficiency point is determined based on battle efficiency information indicating the battle efficiency in the battle (for example, information indicating the battle time), and the party is awarded as a privilege that has won the battle according to the determined battle efficiency point. Victory privilege points to be granted (for example, experience points, monetary points that can be used as money in the game) are determined, and the determined victory privilege points are given to the party PA, so the battle has been performed efficiently. Since it is possible to give more points according to how much you win the battle (that is, how quickly you have won the battle), the content of the battle is closely related to the value of the points you earn by winning the battle You will be able to control the progress of the game. Therefore, it becomes possible to provide a video game that can enhance the taste of the battle scene.

  In the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus 100 that controls the progress of the video game by displaying a plurality of player characters operated by the player receives the operation of the player P, and Control of the battle between the party PA to which the player characters PC1 to PC3 belong and the enemy character NPC, accept the designation operation of the formation by the player P, identify the formation designated by the accepted designation operation as the formation of the party PA, and identify According to the formed formation, each player character PC1 to PC3 belonging to the party PA is arranged on the battle field in the battle, and when the party PA wins and the battle ends, the battle efficiency in the battle Based on the battle efficiency information shown (for example, information indicating the battle time), the battle efficiency points are determined, and according to the determined battle efficiency points, the victory privilege points (for example, given to the party as a privilege that won the battle) , Experience points, monetary points that can be used as money in the game), and the determined victory privilege points are given to the party PA, so the content of the battle is added to the value of the points acquired by winning the battle It is possible to provide a video game that can control the progress of the game in close relation to each other and can enhance the taste of the battle scene.

  In other words, the party PA is controlled to perform a battle with the identified formation, battle efficiency points indicating battle efficiency in the battle (for example, information indicating battle time) are determined, and the determined battle efficiency is determined. In accordance with the points, a victory privilege point (for example, an experience value, a monetary point that can be used as money in the game) to be given to the party as a privilege that won the battle is determined, and the determined victory privilege point is determined to the party PA.
