Description

  The present invention relates to a game system and a game program in which a game in which a conversation between a player and a character proceeds is performed.

  A game system that displays a character on a game screen, has a conversation with a character displayed on a player, and competes whether, for example, a predetermined purpose can be achieved based on the content of the conversation is already known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ).

JP 2004-344587 A

  However, in the conventional game system, the setup of the conversation progress is managed by the system, and the player must proceed with the conversation according to the setup, and the degree of freedom of the dialogue that can be selected by the player is low. Is scarce.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a game system and a game program that can realize a conversation with a character with improved realism.

  The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means. In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, reference numerals in the accompanying drawings are appended in parentheses, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.

  The game system (10) of the present invention includes a monitor (11) that outputs a game screen (1) that displays a character (C), an operation input unit (12) that receives input from the player, the player and the character, A game control unit (14) that controls a game that progresses a conversation of the player, and a dialogue of the character according to each emotion level of a plurality of levels of emotion level with respect to the player with respect to each level of progress of a plurality of levels of conversation A game system (10) comprising: a character serif storage unit (15) stored in memory and a player serif storage unit (15) in which the player's serifs are stored according to the degree of progress. When the predetermined line stored in the character line storage unit is output to the game screen, the control unit stores the line in the player line storage unit. One line from the line is selected as the line of the player responding to the line of the character, and the line of the next character that responds to the line selected by the player is selected by the player line selection unit (14a). A progress level determination unit (14b) that determines the progress level of the next character as the progress level of the selected serif, and based on the selected serif, the emotion level of the next character's serif is determined Referring to the emotion level determination unit (14c) to be determined and the character line storage unit, the line of the next character is determined from the determined level of emotion and progress, and the determined line is A character line determination unit (14d) that outputs to the game screen as a line for the next character. To resolve.

  According to the game system of the present invention, the character lines of the character and the lines of the player are prepared in advance for each of a plurality of degrees of progress of the conversation, and the lines of the player responding to the predetermined lines of the character are The selection unit causes the player to select, and the progress determination unit and the emotion level determination unit determine the progress level and emotion level of the next character based on the selected speech, and the character serif determination unit determines The line of the character associated with the degree of progress and the degree of emotion is determined as the line of the next character, and is displayed on the game screen as the line of the character that responds to the line of the selected player. The player can select any line of progress regardless of the progress of the current character's line. With this selection, the degree of progress of the conversation is selected, and the next line of the character is determined based on the selected degree of progress. Thereby, the player can advance the conversation at a desired degree of progress of the conversation. Furthermore, in the present invention, since the emotion level is determined by the line selected by the player, it is possible to determine a line that takes into consideration the emotion of the character with respect to the selected line as the line of the character. Thereby, the conversation which raised realism is realizable with a character.

  Each line of the character set in the character line storage unit and each line of the player set in the player line storage unit assume, for example, a predetermined scene based on the setting of the character, and the conversation in the scene progresses to the degree of progress. It is desirable to set so as to proceed accordingly. A plurality of character serif storage units and a plurality of player serif storage units may be provided for each scene so that a desired scene can be selected by the player. The specific information indicating the “emotion level” may be information indicating the level of the predetermined emotion for the player in a stepwise manner from low to high, and may be character information or numerical information. The “emotion” may be an emotion with respect to a predetermined target person or object. The specific information indicating the “progress level” may be information indicating the progress of the conversation step by step, and may be the elapsed time or only the order. As an aspect of determining the emotion level “based on the selected line”, for example, as in the case of a known game, it may be determined based on information associated with the selected line itself, It may be determined based on the correspondence between the lines displayed on the game screen and the lines of the selected player.

  “Serif” stored in each of the character serif storage unit and the player serif storage unit includes a case of silent state, exclamation only (in the case of visual output), or sound effect only (in the case of audio output). . The “predetermined lines” displayed on the game screen may be lines determined by the character line determination unit or lines determined by other configurations or procedures. Moreover, the correspondence of each item memorize | stored in a character speech memory | storage part and a player memory | storage part should just be set notionally, and a memory | storage form is not ask | required. For example, each item may be stored as a file in a table format, each item itself may be stored in a different file, and only the association of each item may be set in each storage unit. Further, each item itself may be stored in a physically different file, an association may be set for each item, and each storage unit of the present invention may be configured conceptually.

  The emotion level determination unit may determine the emotion level based on a difference between the progress level of the selected serif and the progress level of the predetermined serif. For example, information for changing the emotion level according to the difference between the two degrees of progress may be stored in a predetermined storage unit as information common to the game system, or the information to be changed may be stored in the character. What is necessary is just to memorize | store in a character line memory | storage part in association with each line. As a result, for example, the emotion level determination unit determines the emotion level when a line of progress that is far ahead of the level of progress of the line displayed on the game screen is selected or when the progress of the conversation is slow. A setting such as lowering is possible, and in an actual conversation, a state in which the emotion level changes depending on how the other party's conversation proceeds can be realized in the game.

  In the player serif storage unit, a plurality of types of serif candidates of different types are set for each of the progress degrees, and the player serif selection unit has at least one of the serif candidates different in the progress degree and the type. The one line may be made to be selected by the player by presenting a part on the game screen in accordance with the operation of the player. Thereby, in each degree of progress, the player can select a different line depending on the mood. Further, for example, it is possible to configure the degree of progress before the predetermined degree of progress of the character displayed on the monitor so as not to be selected by the player, and the conversation can be advanced in a certain direction.

  In the character speech storage unit, for each speech of the character, timing information in which each timing at which the player's speech can be selected with respect to the speech and the influence information that affects the emotion level is associated with each other. The emotion level determination unit is configured to refer to the timing information of the predetermined line of the character, and to determine the timing information corresponding to the timing when the line of the player responding to the predetermined line is selected. The emotion level of the next character may be determined by performing a search and influencing the influence level information of the searched timing information on the emotion level of the predetermined speech.

  Accordingly, the emotion level of the character can be changed based on the timing when the player responds to the character's speech (timing when the speech is selected). Therefore, the response timing of the player can be influenced to the next line of the character. In an actual conversation, a state where the emotion level changes depending on the timing of the other party's response can be realized in the game. The response timing set for each line of the character and the content of the influence information associated with the timing may be set as appropriate based on the content and length of each line. Each timing set for each line as a response timing may be set by a well-known method. For example, when the line is indicated by an elapsed time after the line is displayed on the game screen, or the line is configured. It may be indicated by letters. The influence information may be information that changes the emotion level regardless of whether the emotion level is text information or numerical information.

  In the character line storage unit, compatibility information regarding compatibility of each line of the player with respect to each line of the character is set, and the emotion level determination unit is set with respect to the predetermined line of the character, the selection It is also possible to search the compatibility information for the line of the player who has been played, and to determine the feeling level of the next character's line by influencing the searched compatibility information.

  Thus, the emotion level of the character can be changed based on the compatibility between the character's speech and the player's speech selected for the speech. Therefore, the compatibility between words can affect the next word of the character. For example, when the emotion level indicates the degree of likability, as compatibility information, for example, information that increases the emotion level is set for words that use similar words, and information that decreases the emotion level is set for lines that have different atmospheres. Can be set. Thereby, the state in which an emotion degree changes with the contents and words which the other party speaks is realizable in a game. The compatibility information may be information that changes the emotion level regardless of whether the emotion level is text information or numerical information.

  The degree of progress is set as an elapsed time from the start of the game, and the game control unit is configured to count the elapsed time (14), and the predetermined line of the character output to the game screen. And a line selection determination unit (14) for determining whether or not the player's line has been selected by the player until the next level of progress of the predetermined line is reached, When the line of the player is not selected by the next degree of progress, the degree of progress next to the predetermined line is set as the degree of progress of the next character in the progress degree determination unit. And determining the emotion level of the next character's speech by causing the emotion level determination unit to affect the emotion level with status information associated with a situation where the speech is not selected. It may be.

  Thereby, each degree of progress is specified by the elapsed time, and the conversation can be advanced even when the line is not selected by the player. The elapsed time set for each degree of progress in the character line storage unit may be equal or different. “Influencing the situation information on the emotion level” means that the emotion level is changed by the situation information regardless of the numerical value or the text information.

  The time during which the conversation between the player and the character is permitted in the game is set as a conversation permission time, and the game control unit is determined by the character serif determination unit before the conversation permission time ends. You may further have an evaluation part (14) which determines the said player's play evaluation based on a character's speech.

  Thereby, for example, privilege information is associated with at least one line of the character, and among the lines determined by the character line determination unit, the play evaluation is determined based on the number of lines associated with the line information. If the game is configured, it is possible to avoid a case where the progress of the conversation is unnecessarily advanced by the player.

  The emotion level may be composed of a plurality of types of emotion parameters. Thereby, the change of a character's emotion can be expressed more delicately. In this case, the information for changing the emotion level may be set so as to change each emotion parameter.

  The game program of the present invention includes a monitor (11) that outputs a game screen (1) for displaying a character (C), an operation input unit (12) that receives input from the player, and a conversation between the player and the character. A game control unit (14) for controlling a progressing game and the character's dialogue are stored in accordance with each emotion level of a plurality of levels of emotion level with respect to the player for each level of progress of a plurality of levels of conversation. A game program for controlling a computer, comprising: a character line storage unit (15); and a player line storage unit (15) in which a line of the player is stored according to each degree of progress, wherein the game control unit Is stored in the player line storage unit when a predetermined line stored in the character storage unit is output to the game screen. One line from the line is selected as the line of the player responding to the line of the character, the player line selection unit (14a) that causes the player to select the line, and the line of the next character that responds to the line selected by the player A progress degree determination unit (14b) that determines the progress degree of the next character as the progress degree of the selected serif, and determines the emotion level of the next character's serif based on the selected serif Referring to the emotion level determination unit (14c) and the character line storage unit, the line of the next character is determined from the determined level of emotion and progress, and the determined line is By functioning as a character line determination unit (14d) that outputs to the game screen as a line of characters of To solve the problems. The game program of the present invention is implemented as a game system by being executed by a computer.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the character lines are stored in accordance with the degree of emotion for each degree of progress of a plurality of stages of conversation, and the player's lines corresponding to each degree of progress are stored. Then, the player responds to the line of the character output to the monitor and causes the player to select the line of progress of the character next to the selected line, and the degree of progress next to the degree of progress of the selected line And determining the emotion level of the next character's speech based on the selected speech, and determining and outputting the next speech of the character from the determined emotion level and progress. It is possible to provide a game system and a game program that can realize a conversation with a character with improved characteristics.

The figure which shows the position determination space of the line of a character. The figure which shows the position determination space of a player's words. The flowchart which shows the flow of the process performed in a game process.

  The game of the present invention is a game in which a conversation progresses between a character line and a player line selected by the player. In this embodiment, various scenes assuming school life, such as “morning greeting scene”, “classroom scene”, “athletic scene”, “after school scene”, and the like are prepared as scenes in which conversation is performed. FIG. 1 shows an example of a game screen 1 of an athletic meet scene in the game of the present invention. The game screen 1 includes a character display unit 2, a character serif unit 3, and a player serif unit 4. The character display unit 2 displays a character C to be a conversation partner of the player, and the character line unit 3 displays the line of the character C. It is desirable that the character C is set so as to perform an action corresponding to the speech displayed on the character speech portion 3. The player serif section 4 displays at least one serif candidate 5 that can be selected as a serif for the player. In the example of FIG. 1, two line candidates 5a and 5b are displayed, and the cursor CU is positioned on the line candidate 5a.

  By performing a predetermined horizontal scroll operation and vertical scroll operation by the player, the speech candidate 5 other than the speech candidates 5 a and 5 b displayed on the player speech unit 4 can be sequentially displayed on the player speech unit 4. When the cursor CU is positioned at a specific line candidate 5 and a predetermined selection operation is further performed, the line candidate 5 where the cursor CU is positioned is selected as the line of the player. In the character display part C, the time limit gauge 6 is also displayed. The time limit gauge 6 displays a remaining time of a predetermined response time given to the player with respect to the character C line.

  The emotion parameter value of the character C is set based on the selected player's speech, and the next character C's speech is determined according to the emotion parameter value. Some of the lines prepared as the lines of the character C are set as bonus lines, and the player's score is determined based on the number of times the bonus lines are determined as the lines of the character C within the game time. The game system 10 may have any configuration having a game control function, and a specific form such as a fixed computer device or game machine, a portable computer device or game machine, or a portable telephone is not limited.

  An outline of the hardware configuration of the game system 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The game machine 10 includes a monitor 11 on which the game screen 1 is displayed, a speaker 12 that outputs speech, sound effects, and the like, an operation input unit 13 that receives various operations such as a scroll operation and a selection operation of the player, and the progress of the game A game control unit 14 for controlling the game, and a storage unit 15 for storing game programs and various data used by the game control unit 14. The game control unit 14 includes a CPU and various peripheral circuits such as a RAM and a ROM necessary for the operation thereof, and executes a game program stored in the storage unit 15, thereby enabling a player serif selection unit 14 a and a progress determination unit. 14b, the emotion level determination unit 14c, and the character serif determination unit 14d. The function of each part 14a-14d of the game control part 14 is mentioned later.

  In addition to the game program, the storage unit 15 stores image information 16 that is information related to the character image and background image, and line information 17 that is information related to the lines of the player and the character C in association with each scene. Yes. Each scene has a required time as a conversation permission time. The serif information 17 includes character serif information 20 set for various serifs of the character C, and player serif information 30 set for various serifs (serif candidates) that can be selected by the player. Thereby, the storage unit 15 functions as a character line storage unit and a player line storage unit.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the character serif information 20 is configured such that the degree of progress 21 is associated with a degree 22 of crushing, a degree 23 of friendship, a serif 24, a serif characteristic 25, and a serif ID 26. Note that the character serif information 20 does not have to be one fixed record, and may be configured to be conceptually associated with a serif ID 26 that is identification information common to the items 21 to 25 to be associated. The serif 24 is one serif 24 determined by the specific progress degree 21, the specific crushing degree 22 and the specific friendship degree 23, so that the serif ID 26 identifies the serif 24 in the game system 10. Acts as information.

  The progress 21 indicates the progress of conversation in the corresponding scene. The degree of progress in this embodiment is set by the elapsed time from the start of the game, for example, every 5 seconds from the start of the game. The crushing degree 22 is a point value indicating the degree of liking of the character C with respect to the player. The friendship degree 23 is a point value indicating the degree of familiarity of the character C with the player. In the dialogue 24, the dialogue of the character C in which the temporal aspect after the start of conversation indicated by the degree of progress 21 and the emotional aspect indicated by the crushing degree 22 and the friendship degree 23 are set.

  In the game, the dialogue 24 is specified by three elements of the progress degree 21, the crushing degree 22, and the friendship degree 23 set during the game, and the specified dialogue 24 is determined as the dialogue of the character C. Thereby, the degree of progress 21 functions as a time parameter for determining the dialogue 24 in the game. Further, each of the crushing degree 22 and the friendship degree 23 functions as an emotion parameter for determining the dialogue 24 in the game, and the concept combining the crushing degree 22 and the friendship degree 23 functions as an emotional degree. Hereinafter, when it is not necessary to distinguish the crushing degree 22 and the friendship degree 23, each of the crushing degree 22 and the friendship degree 23 is referred to as an emotion parameter. The speech 24 also includes audio information for outputting speech to the speech.

  In the serif characteristic 25, change information for the player's serif selected for the serif 24 to change each emotion parameter of the character C is set. Examples of the change information include response point information as timing information, compatibility point information as compatibility information, progress point information, privilege point information, and the like. The response point is a change value that changes the value of each emotion parameter based on the timing of response to the speech 24, that is, the timing at which the player's speech is selected, and functions as influence information. In the response point information, each of a plurality of response timings related to the speech 24 is associated with a change value so that the highest point is obtained at the optimum response timing and the minus point is obtained at the worst response timing. ing. Thus, it is possible to realize a mode in which the emotion of the character C changes depending on the response timing of the player. Each of the plurality of response timings is appropriately set as an elapsed time from the start of display of the speech 24.

  The compatibility point is a change value that changes each emotion parameter value based on the content of the player's speech selected for the speech 24 and the word usage. In the compatibility point information, a change value of each emotion parameter is set for each line of the player. Thereby, the line of the player selected with respect to the line 24 can be influenced to the feeling of the character C, that is, the aspect in which the feeling of the character C is changed by the line of the player can be realized. For example, for a line of a player whose pitch should be greatly increased with respect to the line 24 of a specific character C, the change value of the level of pitch related to that line should be set to +10, while the degree of turn should be decreased. For a player's line, the change value of the degree of palpation regarding the line is set to -2. The same may be set for the friendship level.

  The progress point information is information in which a change value for changing each emotion parameter value is set according to the difference between the progress 31 of the line of the player selected for the speech 24 and the progress 21 of the speech 24. It is. For example, the emotion parameter value is set to be higher as the difference is smaller. In the privilege point information, information indicating whether or not the dialogue 24 is a privilege speech, and a change value that changes each emotion parameter in the case of the privilege speech is set.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the player serif information 30 is information in which a mood 32, a serif 33, and a serif ID 34 are associated with the degree of progress 31. Like the character serif information 20, the player serif information 30 does not have to be one fixed record, but is conceptually associated with the serif ID 34, which is identification information common to the items 31 to 33 to be associated. It may be configured. The number of lines 33 determined by the specific degree of progress 31 and mood 32 is one. Thus, the line ID 33 functions as identification information for identifying the line 24 in the game system 10.

  The degree of progress 31 corresponds to the degree of progress 21 of the character serif information 20, and is set every 5 minutes from the start of the game, like the degree of progress 21. The mood 32 is information indicating the type of mood of the player. In this embodiment, eight types of moods are prepared. The line of the player is set in the line 33. In the line 33 of the present embodiment, a line corresponding to the mood 32 is set as a line that responds to the line 24 of the character C corresponding to the degree of progress 21. The line 33 is displayed as a selection candidate on the player line part 4 before being determined as the line of the player in the game. Thus, the line 33 also functions as a line candidate 5. The speech 33 also includes audio information for outputting speech to the speech.

  FIG. 5 shows a concrete example of the character C dialogue 24 set for the morning greeting scene, and FIG. 6 shows a concrete example of the player speech 33. In each line 24 prepared for the character C, lines corresponding to the friendship level 23 and the crushing level 22 are set according to the progress level 21 set every 5 seconds after the game is started as shown in FIG. Yes. The line 24 of the character C may be set across a plurality of degrees of progress 21 like the line 24a, or may be set as a silent state like the line 24b. As described above, since the line 24 of the character C is specified by the progress degree 21, the crushing degree 22 and the friendship degree 23, the X axis as shown in FIG. And one point in the space A with the Z axis as the friendship degree 23 corresponds to the serif 24 determined by combining the three elements. Thus, the space A functions as a position determination space for the character dialogue 24.

  On the other hand, the line 33 of the player is set to be specified by the degree of progress 31 and the mood 32. Therefore, a point in the space B with the X axis as the degree of progress 31 and the Y axis as the mood 32 as shown in FIG. 8 corresponds to the serif 33 determined by combining the two elements. Thereby, the space B functions as a position determination space for the line 33 of the player. The line 33 of the player set for each degree of progress 31 is set as a line responding to the line 24 of the character C having the corresponding degree of progress 21. Accordingly, it is possible to slowly advance the conversation according to the predetermined progress degrees 21 and 31, but in this embodiment, the progress degree 31 of the player's speech candidate 5 displayed on the monitor 11 is advanced by the horizontal scroll operation. The dialogue candidate 5 set to the progress degree 31 after the predetermined progress degree 31 can also be selected, so that the conversation can be advanced with the progress degree 31 higher than the default progress degree 31. In the present embodiment, it is configured such that the speech candidate 5 having the progress degree 31 before the predetermined progress degree 31 cannot be selected.

  The progress 21 of the character C's speech determined for the selected player's speech is always set to a progress that is one advancement of the progress 31 of the player's speech. Specifically, when the progress degree 31 of the selected player's speech is advanced by D + 3, which is three progresses higher than D, with respect to the speech of the character C having the progress degree 21 of D, the speech of the next character C The progress degree 21 is set to a progress degree D + 4, which is one step further.

  Furthermore, the storage unit 15 stores character information storing character identification information of the character C, character personality parameters, and the like, player identification information, scores, past play history, player personality parameters, and the like. Information is also stored.

  Game processing for progressing the game of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The game process is controlled by the game control unit 14 and is started, for example, after a game scene is selected by a player on a predetermined scene selection screen. In this embodiment, a case where “morning greeting scene” is selected from the plurality of scenes described above will be described. When the “morning greeting scene” is selected and the game process is started, a start process is first performed in step S100.

  In the start process, for example, an initial screen of the game is displayed on the monitor 11 and time measurement of a scene timer as a time timer is started. The scene timer measures the elapsed time from the start of the game. Next, in step S105, a change value of each emotion parameter (degree of crushing and friendship) of the character C is determined. The change value at the start of the game may be a predetermined value (for example, 0 points), or may be configured to be set based on past game results.

  Next, proceeding to step S110, each emotion parameter for determining the next line of character C is set. In this embodiment, each emotion parameter value is set based on the change value of each emotion parameter determined in step S105. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S115, and the degree of progress 21 is set as a time parameter for determining the next line of the character C. The progress at the start of the game is set to the first progress 21, that is, “after 5 seconds”. Next, the process proceeds to step S116, and it is determined whether or not to display the determined next line 24. The process waits until the time of the scene timer reaches the degree of progress 21 indicated by the time parameter, and when the degree of progress 21 is reached, the process proceeds to step S120.

  In step S120, the line 24 of the character C specified by the two set emotion parameters and the time parameter is determined and displayed on the character line portion 3 of the game screen 1. In the following step S125, first, at least one line 33 among the eight lines of the player associated with the degree of progress 31 set in the time parameter is displayed on the player line part 4 of the game screen 1 as the line candidate 5. To do. Further, the remaining time of the response time given to the player is displayed on the time limit gauge 6 along with the display of the candidate line 5. The remaining response time is the time until the elapsed time indicated by the next degree of progress 21 is reached. When the dialogue 24 of the character C displayed in the character dialogue section 3 extends over a plurality of progression levels 21, the progression rate 21 of the next dialogue 24 of the dialogue 24 is set.

  In step S <b> 130, selectable player serif candidates 5 are displayed on the player serif unit 4 in accordance with the scroll operation of the player. For example, eight types of lines set for a specific degree of progress 31 are sequentially displayed on the player serif unit 4 by a vertical scroll operation. Further, by the horizontal scroll operation, the speech candidate 5 set for the progress 31 after the progress set in the time parameter is displayed on the player speech unit 4. Thus, the conversation can be advanced with the player's desired progress without following the progress of the conversation prepared in advance by the game (the progress set in the time parameter). Next, in step S135, it is determined whether or not there has been a selection operation for selecting the dialogue candidate 5 displayed on the player dialogue portion 4 as the dialogue of the player. If it is determined that there is no selection operation, the process proceeds to step S140.

  In step S140, it is determined whether or not the elapsed time indicated by the scene timer has reached the next degree of progress 21. The “next degree of progress 21” in step S140 is the degree of progress 21 of the conversation next to the degree of progress set in the time parameter. It is the degree of progress 21 associated with the next line. If it is determined in step S140 that the next degree of progress 21 has not been reached, the process returns to step S130 to continue waiting for the player's selection operation. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S140 that the scene timer has reached the next degree of progress 21, the process returns to step S105, assuming that the player has not selected a line.

  In step S105, the change value of each emotion parameter is set so as to reflect the situation where the player has not selected the speech. For example, each change value is set to −1 in order to decrease each emotion parameter value by 1 point. The change value of the situation that has not been selected may be stored in advance in the storage unit 15 as a predetermined value, and the change value functions as situation information. In step S110, the crushing degree and the friendship degree are updated based on each change value. In step S116, an affirmative determination is immediately made, and the process proceeds to step S120. The processing after step S120 is the same as that described above.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S135 that the selection operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S145, and it is determined whether or not the scene is ended. When the elapsed time indicated by the scene timer has reached the required time of the “morning greeting scene”, or when there is no progress degree 21 of the next conversation, it is determined that the scene has ended. If it is not the end of the scene, the process returns to step S105. In step S105, compatibility point information and progress point information set for the line characteristic 25 of the line 24 of the character C determined in step S120 (the line of the character C currently displayed in the character line portion 3). Based on the response point information, a change value set in each point information is determined, and a final change value for each emotion parameter is determined.

  The change value of the compatibility point information may be specified by searching for the change value set for the selected player's dialogue 33 in the compatibility point information. The change value of the response point information is obtained by acquiring the timing at which the selection operation was performed by a known input timing acquisition method in step S135 and searching for the change value set for the timing in the response point information. You can specify. As the change value of the progress point information, the change value set for the difference between the progress set in the time parameter and the progress 31 of the speech 33 selected by the player is searched for in the progress point information. What is necessary is just to specify.

  When a plurality of change values exist for one emotion parameter, for example, the final change value may be calculated by adding all the change values. In step S110, each current emotion parameter value is changed based on the final change value, and the result is set to each emotion parameter value. In the subsequent step S115, the time parameter is set to a progress degree 21 next to the progress degree 31 of the selected player's speech. The processing performed after step S116 is the same as the processing described above.

  If it is determined in step S145 that the scene has ended, the process proceeds to step S150, and the end process is performed. In the end process, the score of the player is calculated, and the game result is displayed on the monitor 11. The score of this form is calculated as the number of points according to the count value by referring to the privilege point information of the character C selected during the game, by counting the number of words set as the privilege speech. Is done. For example, the privilege point information of each line determined in step S120 may be stored, and the above-described processing relating to each privilege point information may be performed in the end process of step S150. When the end process ends, the game process ends.

  The game control unit 14 functions as the emotion level determination unit 14c by the processing of step S105 and step S110, the game control unit 14 functions as the progress level determination unit 14b by the processing of step S115, and the processing of step S120 The control unit 14 functions as a character line determination unit 14d. By the processing from step S125 to step S135, the game control unit 14 functions as the player serif selection unit 14a. Furthermore, the game control unit 14 functions as a serif selection determination unit by the process of step S140, and functions as an evaluation unit by the process of step S150.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be implemented in various forms. The change value for changing each emotion parameter value may be a coefficient instead of a point. The progress point information may be information common to the game system. Further, the progress point information and / or the response point information may be configured to differ depending on the selected player's lines. In this case, similarly to the compatibility point information, each point information related to the selected player's speech may be searched and the searched point information may be referred to.
