JP 2007-29571 A JP 2003-305274 A

  The present invention provides a game device or game with high taste that can change an event occurring in a game according to a battle process with an enemy character as well as a result of a battle with an enemy character. It is an object to provide a progress method, a game program, and a recording medium.

  In the present invention, not only the result of the battle is evaluated, but also how to fight is evaluated, and specific points (muse points, hereinafter referred to as MP) are given to the player character operated by the player. The player character can acquire a “cooperation item” according to the acquired MP. If the “cooperation item” is used during a battle with an enemy character, a plurality of player characters forming a party cooperate with each other. Linked attacks that attack enemy characters are possible. Linked attacks are evaluated in battles, leading to further collaboration. Then, by performing a cooperative attack, the relationship between the player characters that have performed the cooperative attack changes, and the content of an event that occurs in the game is determined according to the change in the relationship.

  That is, the present invention controls the action of the player character displayed on the display screen according to the operation of the player, and controls the progress of the game by causing the player character to perform a virtual battle with another character. A game device that provides points to the player character according to a virtual battle process between the player character and another character, and a player according to the points given by the point grant unit. The present invention relates to a game apparatus, comprising: a special item giving means for giving a special item that expresses a special effect when used or owned by a character to a player character.

  Depending on the battle process, you can get points that can be exchanged for special items, so it is not just a matter of winning the battle with enemy characters and strengthening the player character's ability. It is necessary to play while considering whether to advance the battle so that it can be acquired, and the player can fully enjoy the process until the game is cleared.

  Furthermore, the present invention controls the actions of a plurality of player characters displayed on the display screen in response to an operation of at least one player, and executes a virtual battle with other characters on the plurality of player characters. A game device for controlling the progress of the game, a point giving means for giving points to the player character in accordance with a virtual battle process between the player character and another character, and the player character and others In a virtual battle with the other character, a player can select a special item that enables execution of a cooperative attack in which a plurality of player characters cooperate to attack another character in accordance with the points given by the point giving means. Special item granting means to be given to the character, a plurality of player characters and other characters In a virtual battle with the relationship change means for changing the relationship between the player characters that have executed the cooperative attack by causing a plurality of player characters to perform a cooperative attack on other characters using a special item, An event for controlling an event occurring in the game in accordance with the relationship between the player characters stored by the relationship storage means and the relationship storage means for storing the relationship between the player characters changed by the relationship change means And a control device.

  You can acquire points that can be exchanged for special items that can be attacked against enemy characters according to the battle process, so it is not just a matter of winning battles with enemy characters. It is required to play while considering whether to advance the battle as much as possible. In addition, since the relationship between the player characters is changed by performing the cooperative attack, and the content of the event that occurs in the game is specified accordingly, the event that occurs every time the game is played changes. Therefore, the player can enjoy the play repeatedly even after clearing the game once.

  The special item has a plurality of types, and the relationship between the special item and the player character corresponds, and the relationship changing means executes the linkage attack based on the relationship between the player characters that executed the linkage attack. It is preferable to change to the relationship corresponding to the special item used for this purpose.

  Since the relationship between the player characters that have executed the linked attack changes according to the special item used to execute the linked attack, the player can select or set in advance which special item is used. The relationship between the player characters can be constructed according to the intention of the player.

  Furthermore, according to the priority order determined in advance by the player, the special item selection means for selecting the special item used for executing the cooperative attack and the special item selected by the special item selection means are used to execute the cooperative attack. It is preferable to provide a linked attack execution means.

  By allowing a player to select a special item according to a predetermined priority order, it is possible to build a relationship between player characters while reflecting the player's intention while having a certain degree of randomness. The player can enjoy a virtual battle more.

It is a figure which shows an example of an event table.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a video game apparatus for executing a three-dimensional video game according to an embodiment of the present invention. The video game apparatus is configured around the apparatus body 1. The apparatus main body 1 includes a control unit 11, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 12, a hard disk drive (HDD) 13, a sound processing unit 14, a graphic processing unit 15, a DVD / CD-ROM drive 16, a communication interface 17, and an interface unit. 18 each connected by an internal bus.

  The control unit 11 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a ROM (Read Only Memory), and executes a program stored in the HDD 13 or the recording medium 25 to control the apparatus main body 1. The control unit 11 includes an internal timer. The RAM 12 is a work area for the control unit 11. The HDD 13 is a storage area for storing programs and data.

  The DVD / CD-ROM drive 16 can be loaded with a recording medium 25 storing a game program such as a DVD-ROM or a CD-ROM. The game program and data stored in the recording medium 25 are read by the DVD / CD-ROM drive 16 and loaded into the RAM 12. A game cartridge may be mounted instead of the recording medium 25 such as a DVD-ROM or a CD-ROM.

  The control unit 11 reads out data necessary for the game in progress from the RAM 12 and performs processing. However, since the storage capacity is smaller than that of the HDD 13 and the recording medium 25, only the necessary data is recorded according to the progress of the game. The data is loaded from the medium 25 into the RAM 12. The control unit 11 processes the program and data loaded in the RAM 12, outputs a sound output instruction to the sound processing unit 14, and outputs a drawing command to the graphic processing unit 15.

  The sound processing unit 14 is connected to a sound output device 22 that is a speaker. When the control unit 11 outputs a sound output instruction to the sound processing unit 14, the sound processing unit 14 outputs a sound signal to the sound output device 22.

  The graphic processing unit 15 is connected to a display device 23 having a display screen 24. When a drawing command is output from the control unit 11, the graphic processing unit 15 develops an image in a frame memory (frame buffer) 19 and outputs a video signal for displaying the image on the display screen 24 of the display device 23. One frame time of an image included in the video signal output from the graphic processing unit 15 is, for example, 1/30 second. The graphic processing unit 15 performs drawing of one image in units of frames (that is, in units of 1/30 second).

  An input unit (controller) 21 and a memory card slot 20 are connected to the interface unit 18. The input unit 21 includes a direction key and a plurality of operation buttons, and inputs a movement of the player character, selection of a command in battle, or the like by operating the direction key. Based on the input information from the input unit 21 based on the keypad operation by the player, the control unit 11 executes various arithmetic processes. Note that the input unit 21 may include a touch panel in addition to the direction keys and the operation buttons.

  In accordance with an instruction from the control unit 11, the interface unit 18 stores data indicating the progress of the game stored in the RAM 12 in the memory card 28 installed in the memory card slot 20 and stores the data in the memory card 28. The game data at the time of interruption is read out and transferred to the RAM 12.

  The communication interface 17 is connected to the communication network 27 by wireless or wired. The communication interface 17 can communicate with other video game apparatuses wirelessly via a communication unit having an antenna 26.

  In the embodiments described below, the case where the present invention is applied to RPG will be mainly described. In the game device according to the present invention, the field map on which the player character moves may be constituted by a two-dimensional map, or may be constituted by a three-dimensional map in order to display the virtual space more realistically. When the virtual space is displayed based on the three-dimensional map, the player character, enemy character, and other objects existing in the virtual space are displayed with polygons. In games such as RPG, the player character moves on the field map and repeats battles with enemy characters to improve the level, acquire items, or clear the task called quest. proceed.

  When the player character encounters an enemy character while moving on the field map and battles, the MP can be acquired according to the content of the battle. This MP is a concept different from the experience value for the player character to increase the strength level and the virtual currency for purchasing the weapon, armor, and accessory that the player character is equipped with. Using MP, it is possible to exchange for a special item that enables a cooperative attack between player characters in a battle. When a plurality of player characters form a party and battle with an enemy character, it is possible to perform a linked attack by using this special item. A relationship is set between the player characters in the party, and the relationship also changes when a linked attack is performed. A party title is given to the party according to the relationship between the player characters. A plurality of events occur during the progress of the game, but the contents of these events also change according to the title of the party. Thus, according to the present invention, the game progress is varied according to the result of the battle.

  The player can give an instruction to all of the plurality of player characters belonging to the party by operating the input unit 21. However, the player performs wireless or wired communication with other players to change the player character to be operated. You may share with other players.

  First, calculation of MP given by battle will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart related to the calculation process of the MP given by the battle. When the player character is moving on the field map in the virtual space by the operation of the player, an enemy character is encountered and a battle is started (step S11). The enemy character is normally operated by the CPU, but may be operated by another player when communicating with a game device possessed by another player. When the battle is started, the player selects a command such as an “attack” command, a “tool” command, a “magic” command, a “run away” command, etc., and inputs to the input unit 21 to instruct the player character. give. In accordance with the player's instruction, the player character performs an action such as performing a physical attack or magic attack on the enemy character, recovering the physical strength of the player character, or using an item. A HP (hit point) indicating the remaining amount of physical strength is set for each of the player character and the enemy character. When the HP becomes zero due to an attack of the opponent character or the like, the character becomes incapable of fighting.

  In this way, the battle is advanced as the player character and the enemy character repeat attacks each other. And when HP of all the enemy characters excluding the enemy character who escaped from the battle becomes zero, when HP of all the player characters except the player character escaped from the battle becomes zero, or all the player characters Alternatively, the battle is ended when all enemy characters have escaped (step S12). The escape from the battle means that the character who participated in the battle avoids the battle, receives an attack from the opponent, or cannot attack the opponent, and cannot enter the battle. Say. When the player selects the “escape” command, it is possible to escape from the battle.

  When the battle ends in step S12, it is determined whether or not the player character has won the battle (step S13). That is, when the HP of all enemy characters excluding the enemy character that escaped from the battle becomes zero, or when all the enemy characters escape, the player character wins. If the battle ends without the player character winning ("NO" in step S13), the battle ends without the player character obtaining any privilege or the like. On the other hand, when the player character wins and the battle ends, the MP given to the player character is calculated (step S14). Information regarding the battle used for calculating the MP is stored in the RAM 12 and is read from the RAM 12 when the MP is calculated.

  The MP calculation method can be set as appropriate. For example, the strength level of the player character (the average of the player character levels when there are a plurality of player characters) and the strength level of the enemy character (the levels of the enemy characters when there are a plurality of enemy characters) The MP is calculated based on the difference in the average). That is, when a player character wins a higher level enemy character, more MP is given to the player character, and the player character level wins an enemy character that is not so high. In such a case, less MP is given.

  In addition, when the battle is advanced by a so-called active time battle method (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 06-105959) in which the battle between the player character and the enemy character is executed in real time, the battle is started after the battle is started. It is good also as calculating MP provided based on the time until it complete | finishes. The shorter the time until the battle ends, the more MP is given to the player character, and the longer the time until the battle ends, the less MP is given to the player character.

  In addition, the MP to be given to the player character may be calculated according to the number of times of performing a cooperative attack, which will be described later, and the cooperation degree of the cooperative attack (the number of player characters performing the cooperative attack). That is, the number of MPs to be given may be increased as the number of linkage attacks increases, and the number of MPs to be given may be increased as the degree of cooperation increases.

  In step S14, when the calculation is performed on the MP given to the player character, the MP is given to the player character (step S15). In addition to the MP, the player character can obtain an experience value for increasing the strength level of the player character, a virtual currency in the game, an item that causes some effect when owned or used by the player character, and the like.

  The “cooperative item” that enables the player character to perform a cooperative attack during the battle can be purchased or exchanged by the MP, and the effect of the cooperative attack is great (that is, the damage to the enemy character increases, etc.) The greater the “advantageous effect”), the more “linked items”, the more MP is required. There are a plurality of types of “linkage items”, for example, “linkage items for friendship”, “linkage items for affection”, and the like. These are the characteristics of the effects of linked attacks for each type (whether they are physical attacks, magic attacks, or “fire” or “water” attributes) The size is also different, and is closely related to the relationship between player characters described later.

  Next, processing when the player character performs a cooperative attack during the battle and the relationship between the player characters changes will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart regarding a process for specifying the relationship between player characters. First, when the player character is moving on the field map in the virtual space by the operation of the player, an enemy character is encountered and a battle is started (step S21).

  As described above, when the battle is started, the player selects a command and gives an instruction to the player character. When the player selects “tool” which is one of the commands, it is possible to further select which tool is used. When the “linked item” is selected from the usable tools possessed by the player character, the teammate player character cooperates to attack the enemy character (step S22).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a change in the display screen 24 when a cooperative attack is performed during the battle. In FIG. 4A, a battle field display area 30, a character information display window 33, and a command selection window 34 are provided on the display screen 24. In the battle field display area 30, player characters 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d belonging to a party operated by the player and an enemy character 32 are displayed. The character information display window 33 displays the HP and MP (magic points, amount of magic power consumed to use magic) of the player characters 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d. In the command selection window 34, an “attack” command, a “tool” command, a “magic” command, and a “run away” command are displayed, and the player moves the cursor 35 by operating the input unit 21. A command can be selected.

  When the player selects the “tool” command in the command selection window 34, the display of the command selection window 34 is switched as shown in FIG. 4B, and tools that can be used during the battle are displayed. In this case, in the command selection window 34, “friendship cooperation item” and “affection cooperation item” are displayed as usable tools. When the player operates the input unit 21 to move the cursor 35 and selects “linked item of friendship” used to perform a linked attack, as shown in FIG. 4C, a player character 31 that performs the linked attack. Cursors 35a and 35b for selecting are displayed. When the player operates the input unit 21 to move the cursor 35 and selects the player characters 31a and 31c as the characters that perform the combined attack, the combined attack is started. When the cooperative attack is started, the player characters 31a and 31c perform a cooperative attack on the enemy character 32 as shown in FIG. When the cooperative attack ends, the command can be selected again as shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, the player can select whether or not to perform a cooperative attack by selecting a command. However, a “cooperative item” owned by the player character is used with a predetermined probability by calculation using a random number. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a cooperative attack is performed accidentally. In this case, if any one of the player characters has selected the “attack” command, the other player character automatically starts a linked attack. Since “linkage item” such as “linkage item of friendship” and “linkage item of affection” is used to perform a linkage attack is determined by calculation using random numbers, However, it is possible to set the priorities of the “linked items” to be used in advance on the setting screen for performing various settings before the battle starts. For example, if the player has set the priority of “linkage item of friendship” as No. 1 and the priority of “linkage item of affection” as No. 2, there is a 70% probability in the case of a linkage attack. “Linkage item of friendship” is used, and “Linkage item of affection” is used with a probability of 30%.

  Further, regarding selection of other player characters participating in the linked attack, the player may select the player character with a predetermined probability by calculation using a random number instead of selecting it. In this case, a player character whose relationship with the player character who has selected the “attack” command is the same as the relationship corresponding to the “linked item” used in the linked attack is preferentially selected with a predetermined probability. It can be set as such a structure. For example, when a “friendship link item” is used, a player character having a relationship of “friendship” with a player character who has selected the “attack” command is more likely to be selected than other player characters. . Similarly, when the “affection linked item” is used, a player character having a relationship of “love” with the player character who has selected the “attack” command is more likely to be selected than other player characters. Become.

  In this way, while having a certain degree of randomness by adopting a configuration that determines the occurrence of a linked attack, the selection of a linked item, or the selection of a player character participating in the linked attack regardless of the player's intention, The relationship between the player characters can be established while reflecting the player's intention.

  The number of linked attacks is not particularly limited as long as it is two or more. It is assumed that it is normally executed by two people, and the number of people who cooperate with three people and further four people can be increased with a predetermined probability. The more advantageous the player character is, such as the greater the number of linked attacks, the greater the damage to the enemy character.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure which the effect of a "cooperation item" changes according to the title of the party mentioned later or the relationship between player characters. For example, in the case where the relationship between the player character A and the player character B is a relationship of “friendship”, the player character A and the player character B perform a combined attack using “loving cooperation item”, An effect that is more advantageous to the player character, such as a case where a cooperative attack using the “cooperative item”, causes more damage to the enemy character, is exhibited.

  When the player character and the enemy character repeat attacks each other, the battle is advanced, and when the HP of all the enemy characters excluding the enemy character who escaped from the battle becomes zero, all except the player character who escaped from the battle The battle is ended when the HP of the player character becomes zero, or when all the player characters or all the enemy characters have escaped (step S23).

  When the battle ends, calculation for specifying the relationship between the player characters is performed (step S24). The method for specifying the relationship between the player characters can be set as appropriate. For example, it is possible to change the relationship between the player characters that participated in the linked attack to a relationship corresponding to the “linked item” used to perform the linked attack. That is, the relationship between the player characters using the “linkage item of friendship” as the “linkage item” is a relationship of “friendship”, and the relationship between the player characters using the “linkage item of affection” is “love”. It becomes the relationship.

  Also, regarding the relationship between the player characters that participated in the linked attack, it corresponds to the most frequently used “linked item” in linked attacks up to a predetermined number of times (for example, 30 times or 50 times) from the end of the battle. The relationship can be changed. For example, if the number of times that the “linkage item of friendship” is used most frequently among the linked attacks up to 50 times before the end of the battle, the relationship between the player characters becomes “friendship” and “linkage of affection” If the “item” is used most frequently, the relationship between the player characters is “love”.

  When the relationship between the player characters is specified, the title of the party is specified according to the relationship between the player characters (step S25). Conditions for specifying the party title are set in advance, and for example, the party title is specified according to the proportion of all the player character relationships that have each relationship. When there are four parties, there are six relationships among the player characters, but when five or more of these are “friendship” relationships, “friendship party”, five ways. If the above is a “loving” relationship, “Loving Party”, if all 6 relationships are “Friendship” or “Affection”, then “Strong Party”; If it is, it can be a “disjoint party”. The number of parties is 1 if there are 2 parties, 3 if there are 3 parties, 10 if there are 5 parties, and 15 if there are 6 parties. As a result, the number of relationships will increase. Therefore, conditions for specifying the title of the party are appropriately set according to the number of parties.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the relationship between the player characters and the title of the party. When four players, a player character A (hereinafter A), a player character B (hereinafter B), a player character C (hereinafter C), and a player character D (hereinafter D) belong to a party, A, B, A And C, A and D, B and C, B and D, and C and D exist. In FIG. 5A, the relationship between A and B, C and D is “affection”, the relationship between A and C, B and C is “friendship”, and A and D, B And D are “others”. In this case, the title of the party is “disjoint party”. When this “disjoint party” battles with the enemy character, and A, B, and D perform a combined attack using the “friendship link item”, A and B as shown in FIG. The relationship between “love” and “friendship” is changed, and the relationship between A and D and between B and D is changed from “others” to “friendship”. In this case, the relationship between C and D is “loving”, but all other relationships are “friendship”, so the party title is “friendship party”. Then, when this “friendship party” battles with the enemy character and all four of A, B, C, and D perform a linked attack using “loving linked items”, FIG. 5 (c) As such, all relationships change to “love”. In this case, the party title will be a friendship party.

  The relationship between the player characters changed in step S24 and the title of the party specified in step S25 are stored in the RAM 12 (step S26). By repeating the battle with the enemy character, the party can change the relationship between the player characters and the title of the party.

  In addition, when a cooperation attack is not performed during a battle, the process from step S24 to step S26 is not particularly executed after the battle in step S23 ends. Further, the processing from step S21 to step S26 is performed in parallel with the series of processing from step S11 to step S15.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart regarding event generation processing. First, certain conditions for the event to occur (for example, win a battle with a specific enemy character, get a specific item, reach a specific location on the field map, encounter a specific character When the party title changes), the event generation process is started (step S31). If the predetermined condition is satisfied, it is specified which event is executed from among events prepared in advance based on the event table (step S32). There are a plurality of conditions that trigger an event, and an event table is provided for each of these conditions.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of an event table, in which an event to be generated is specified according to a party title. In this case, event A is identified if the title of the party is “disjoint party”, event B is identified if it is “party of friendship”, and event C is identified if it is “strongest party”. When an event is specified in step S32, the specified event is executed (step S33). The event progresses by displaying a 3D moving image on the display screen 24 and displaying each character's speech in a text sentence or expressing it in speech.

  Depending on which of these events is specified, each event may be set so as to greatly influence the progress of the game (for example, in the case of RPG, it affects the story of the game). It is also possible to set each event so as not to greatly affect the progress of the story. When these events occur, specific quests to be cleared (for example, acquiring specific items, winning enemy characters, encountering specific people, etc.) are set, and by clearing these challenges, It is also possible to give the player character an MP or item, or to set the “linked item” to be more effective. When the “linked item” is strengthened when the quest that occurs in the event is resolved, the “linked item” corresponding to the title of the party that generated the event is strengthened. For example, in the case of the “friendship party”, the “linkage item of friendship” is strengthened, and in the case of the “affection party”, the “affection link item” is strengthened.

  In addition, there may be an event having a series of relationships among a plurality of events. For example, after the event D is generated, an event E related to the event D is generated by further satisfying a predetermined condition. When event D occurs by winning a battle with a specific slime (enemy character), event E occurs by winning again the battle with this specific slime that has been powered up. However, when the relationship between the player characters changes and the title of the party changes, a related event may not be generated. Therefore, it is possible to generate a related event by proceeding with the play while maintaining the relationship between the player characters.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to RPG is mainly described. However, the present invention relates to the game genre as long as the player character performs a virtual battle with another character. It can be applied. For example, the present invention can be applied to a shooting game, an action game, a simulation game, and the like.
