Description

Game device and program for realizing the game device

The present invention is, for example, in an action game, rich in the game device variation of the attack by the enemy character after the enemy character is defeated, and relates to a program for realizing the game apparatus.

  Conventionally, an action game in which a player operates a predetermined character and fights against an enemy character has been developed. Hereinafter, a character operated by the player is referred to as a “player character”, and an enemy character is referred to as an “enemy character”.

  Generally, in an action game, when a player operates a player character to attack an enemy character (for example, cut with a sword), the enemy character is damaged and hit points set in advance for the enemy character. Decrease. The hit point is an endurance value set in advance for each enemy character, and a value corresponding to the endurance of the enemy character is set. If damage is applied to reduce the hit point of an enemy character to zero, the enemy character is defeated.

  When an enemy character is defeated, for example, an item that can make the subsequent game development advantageous can be obtained, or the game can proceed to the next game stage. On the other hand, the defeated enemy character may change the form and attack the player character again. In this case, a player who has been attacked again by the defeated enemy character can experience an unexpected attack and feel a fresh taste of the game.

  For example, in the action game “Resident Evil 4” described in Non-Patent Document 1, parasite A, parasite B, and parasite C appear as enemy characters. When the parasite A and the parasite B are killed by the player character, they die and stop attacking. On the other hand, after the parasite C is defeated by the player character, only its head is separated from the body and attacks the player character. Therefore, the player who thought that the parasite C also died in the same manner as the parasite A and the parasite B is surprised and impatient because only the head of the dead parasite C makes an unexpected attack. You can feel the fresh taste.

“Resident Evil 4 Dismantling Book Revised Edition”, Capcom Co., Ltd., January 26, 2006, first edition issued, page 107

  However, in such an action game, when the player first encounters this enemy character (an enemy character that attacks again after being defeated), the player can feel freshness due to an unexpected attack. In the second and subsequent cases, it is known that they will attack again even after defeating them, so they will not feel fresh.

  Moreover, no matter how the enemy character is defeated, the re-attack after defeat is the same attack. That is, the attack method is one pattern, and a player who has encountered this enemy character once can predict what kind of attack will be set. Therefore, since the method of responding to the attack is also prepared, there will be no surprise or impatience, and no freshness will be felt. For example, in the case of the action game described in Non-Patent Document 1, a player who has defeated the parasite C knows that after defeating the parasite C, only the head is separated and attacks. Therefore, an attack from the head separated from the parasite C can be avoided or an attack can be performed on the separated head.

  In contrast to the conventional re-attack method, if the attack after the enemy character is defeated depending on how it is defeated is changed, the player will receive an unexpected attack, and the game can feel fresh. Further, even if the player learns the change pattern of the attack from the defeated enemy character, the player must fight while considering how to defeat the enemy character, so that the player is not bored. However, such a game has not been developed conventionally.

  The present invention has been conceived under the circumstances described above, and when an enemy character is killed, there are many variations of attacks in which the enemy character performs different attacks depending on how the enemy character is killed. The purpose is to provide a game.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a program for causing a computer to activate a first character and a player character operated by the player in a virtual game space so that the first character and the player character battle each other; When the first character is defeated, a discrimination means for determining how the first character is defeated and a different attack mode are previously associated with the defeat method of the first character. Storage control means for storing in the storage unit, attack mode determination means for determining the attack mode corresponding to the defeat method determined by the determination unit, and attack mode determined by the attack mode determination unit It functions as an execution means for causing one character to execute an attack .

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the computer is further caused to function as a means for activating a second character, and the determination means causes the first character to fall on either the player character or the second character. Determine whether it was done .

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the first character is defeated by the player character, the attack mode determining means generates a first object that attacks the player character at the defeated position. A second attack mode in which a first attack mode is determined, and when the first character is defeated by the second character, a second object is generated that moves from the defeated position and attacks the player character. To decide .

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the discriminating unit discriminates at least one of the defeated time, the defeated place, the defeated weapon or the technique .

A game device provided by the second aspect of the present invention includes a recording unit that records the program provided by the first aspect of the present invention, and a computer that executes the program recorded in the recording unit. It is .

According to the present invention, even if the first character is defeated when the player character in the virtual game space is playing against the first character in the game development for its first character attacks the player character, the first character The attack mode by the defeated first character changes depending on the defeat method. Therefore, the player receives an unexpected attack and can feel freshness in the game.

For example, in a case where the first key Yarakuta is that overthrown optionally a second key Yarakuta was defeated by the player character, when changing the attack mode against the player character, the first key Yarakuta was defeated by the second key Yarakuta is An attack different from that when the player character is defeated is started. Player since considered to come tackle the same attack when knocked down by the player character, feel surprise or impatience unexpected attack by the first key Yarakuta was defeated by the second key Yarakuta. That is, the player receives an unexpected attack and can feel freshness in the game.

  Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It is a figure for demonstrating one scene of the action game which concerns on this embodiment. It is a block diagram which shows the game device which concerns on this invention. It is a flowchart for demonstrating a boss character action process. It is a figure which shows an example of an action table. It is a flowchart for demonstrating Zako character action processing. It is a flowchart for demonstrating a guidance bullet A process. It is a flow chart for explaining guidance bullet B processing.

  Hereinafter, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a case where a game program according to the present invention is applied to game software will be specifically described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, a case where an action game is progressing in a home game device (hereinafter referred to as “game device”) will be described as an example.

  The action game according to the present embodiment is an action game set in the age of Sengoku in Japan. The player feels as if he / she became a warrior warrior and battles with other warlords by using the warrior warrior he / she selected as a player character and operating that player character Can enjoy. In this game, a plurality of modes are set such as a world unified mode in which the player becomes a warrior general and fights against enemy troops spreading throughout the country, aiming to unify the world while expanding his territory. In World Unification mode, the game progresses by fighting with the armies of other countries, defeating enemy generals and winning the battle. For the enemy general, a real warlord who is the model and a character corresponding to the territory are set.

  In the following description, the stage where the enemy territory (general name “XX”) who controls the territory having “Sanzan” in Japan, follows the enemy characters who are subordinates, and attacks the player character together with these enemy characters will be played. Will be described as an example.

  “Sanzan” is known as a place of recreation for the dead, and from the image of a place where a ghost drifts, the enemy general “XX” is set as a character that attacks the player character using magic in the virtual game space. Therefore, the main attack method of the enemy general “XX” is a method of firing a bullet shaped like a human soul by tying a mark (hereinafter referred to as “normal bullet”) to the player character. Has been.

  In addition to the normal enemy character, an enemy character having a special ability of “demon soldier” is provided in the subordinate enemy character that the enemy general “XX” follows. The difference between “demon soldiers” and other enemy characters is that, even after being defeated, a bullet shaped like a human soul is generated to attack the player character. This bullet tracks the player character for a certain time (for example, 15 seconds) after the “demon soldier” is defeated, and when it touches the player character, the movement speed of the player character is delayed by a certain time (for example, 15 seconds). There are two types: a type and a type in which the moving speed of the player character slows down for a fixed time (for example, 15 seconds) when the player character stays at the position of the dead body of the “demon soldier” for a fixed time (for example, 30 seconds). While the moving speed of the player character is slow, the player character is easily attacked by the enemy character. In order to avoid this, the player needs to be careful that the player character does not touch these bullets. The former type is an attack such as a guided bullet, which must be changed by changing the posture or moving, and thus has the effect of limiting the movement of the player character. On the other hand, the latter type is a mine-like attack, and has an effect of limiting the movement range of the player character to dodge attacks from the enemy general “XX” and other enemy characters.

In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the former type bullet is referred to as “guided bullet A”, the latter type bullet is referred to as “guided bullet B”, and both types of bullets are distinguished, and both types of bullets are not distinguished. In this case, it is simply called “guided bullet”. The “guide bullet A” corresponds to the “second object” of the present invention, and the “guide bullet B” corresponds to the “first object” of the present invention. Further, "enemy General XX" is one that corresponds to the "second key Yarakuta" of the present invention, "demon soldiers" is one that corresponds to the "first key Yarakuta" of the present invention.

  Whether the bullet generated from the corpse of “Devil Soldier” is “Guided Bullet A” or “Guided Bullet B” is divided according to how the “Devil Soldier” is defeated. The “demon soldier” is defeated by the attack of the player character like the other enemy characters, but may be defeated by the spell of the enemy general “XX”. The reason why the enemy general “XX” defeats the “demon soldier” by magic is to cause the player character to attack aggressively by generating a bullet stronger than the “normal bullet” from the corpse of the “demon soldier”. As described above, the “guide bullet A” is a type that actively attacks by tracking the player character, and the “guide bullet B” is a type that passively attacks by limiting the movement range of the player character. In the present embodiment, when the “demon soldier” is defeated by the magic of the enemy general “XX”, a “guide bullet A” is generated, and when the “demon soldier” is defeated by the player character, the “guide bullet B” is generated. Is configured to occur. Note that if the “demon soldier” is defeated by the magic of the enemy general “XX”, the “guide bullet B” is generated, and if the “demon soldier” is defeated by the player character, the “guide bullet A” is generated. It is also possible to adopt a configuration.

  The “guide bullet” can be extinguished by the attack of the player character, but is set to disappear after a certain period of time. “Resurrection ritual” to resurrect the “demon soldier” defeated by the enemy general “XX” so that the enemy general “XX” can repeatedly attack with the “guide bullet” generated from the “demon soldier” There is a magic. When the enemy general "XX" signs and performs the "Resurrection Ritual", all the fallen "Devil Soldiers" will come back to life. For this reason, when the player character defeats the revived “demon soldier”, a “guide bullet B” is generated again from the “demon soldier”, and when the enemy general “XX” signs and defeats “demon soldier” Again, “guide bullet A” is generated from the “demon soldier”. In this way, since the attacks by “guide bullets” generated from “demon soldiers” can be repeated, the number of “demon soldiers” is limited to several (for example, five).

  In this embodiment, the number of “demon soldiers” is several, but an appropriate number can be selected and set.

  As described above, in the stage where the enemy general “XX” is played, even if the “demon soldier” is defeated, “guidance bullet A” and “guidance bullet B” appear and attack the player character. In order to prevent the occurrence of “guide bullet A” as much as possible, the strategy of defeating “demon soldier” as much as possible before changing to “guide bullet B” before the enemy general “XX” and hindering movement of the player character It is necessary to fight with various strategies such as a strategy of defeating each “demon soldier” and changing it to “guided bullet B” in a place where it does not become. In this embodiment, with the enemy general “XX” The fun of the battle can be increased.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining one scene of the action game according to the present embodiment, and shows a scene in which the player character is fighting the enemy general “XX”.

  In the figure, when the player character PC defeats two “demon soldiers” ZC4 and ZC5, the enemy general EC is marked at a high place and the three “demon soldiers” ZC1, ZC2 and ZC3 are spelled. This shows a scene in which the “guidance bullet A” is generated. In order to generate “Guided Bullet A”, the enemy general EC must make a mark and defeat “Devil Soldier” with magic. Since there is a gap during the movement, the enemy general EC moves to a high place where the player character is not attacked and defeats the “demon soldier”. In fact, there are enemy characters other than “demon soldiers”, but they are not shown in the figure.

  The “demon soldiers” ZC1, ZC2, and ZC3 defeated by the enemy general EC generate “guide bullets A” YA1, YA2, and YA3, respectively. These “guide bullets A” YA1, YA2, and YA3 are player characters. It is moving towards the PC. On the other hand, the “demon soldiers” ZC4 and ZC5 defeated by the player character PC also generate “guide bullets B” YB1 and YB2, respectively. It stays above the dead body and has not moved.

  When the “guide bullet” is touched, the moving speed of the player character PC is slowed down, and the player character PC is likely to be attacked by an enemy. In order to avoid this, the player needs to be careful that the player character PC does not touch the “guide bullet”. The “guide bullet” has a durability value similar to the hit point for the enemy character. When the durability value becomes zero, the “guide bullet” disappears, so the player attacks the “guide bullet”. In addition, it can be extinguished. Since the “guide bullet B” does not move, it is easy to be careful not to touch it or to make it disappear by applying an attack. On the other hand, since the “guide bullet A” tracks the player character PC, great care must be taken to avoid contact.

  Next, the hardware configuration of this embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a game device according to the present invention. The game apparatus 1 includes a main body 11, an operation controller 12, and a monitor 13. The operation controller 12 and the monitor 13 are connected to the main body 11 by a dedicated cable. The main body 11 is loaded with a disk 14 on which a game program and game data are recorded, and a memory card 15 for storing game data as necessary.

  The main body 11 includes a control unit 111, a drawing processing unit 112, a sound processing unit 113, a disk drive unit 114, a memory card connection unit 115, an I / O interface unit 116, and a communication processing unit 117. The control unit 111 is connected to a drawing processing unit 112, an audio processing unit 113, an I / O interface unit 116, and a communication processing unit 117. Further, the disk drive unit 114, the memory card connection unit 115, the operation controller 12, and the monitor 13 are connected to the I / O interface unit 116.

  In the game apparatus 1, the disc 14 on which the software for the action game is recorded is mounted on the disc drive unit 114, and the game program and game data in the disc 14 are read from the disc drive unit 114 into a RAM 111 c (described later) in the control unit 111. It is. When the read game program is executed by a CPU 111a (described later), the player can enjoy the game contents. The player can operate the player character by operating operation members 12a to 12c (described later) of the operation controller 12, and can advance the game.

  The game data in the disk 14 includes characters such as player characters and enemy characters, image data such as backgrounds, sound data such as sound effects, and various tables that are referred to during game progress and drawing.

  The control unit 111 has a microcomputer that controls the overall operation of the main body 11. The microcomputer includes a CPU 111a, a ROM 111b, a RAM 111c, and the like, and each unit is connected by a bus line.

  The CPU 111a performs overall control of the game progress by executing a game program read from the disk 14 to the RAM 111c by the disk drive unit 114. More specifically, when an operation signal is input from the operation controller 12 by the player's operation, the CPU 111a performs a predetermined game progress process for the operation signal in accordance with the game program. The CPU 111a displays the processing result on the monitor 13 as, for example, a three-dimensional image, and outputs it from a speaker 13a (described later) of the monitor 13 using sound effects.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 111a determines whether each “demon soldier” is defeated by the player character and the “guide bullet B” is generated based on presence flags FEa and FEb described later, or is defeated by the enemy general “XX”. Then, it is determined whether or not the “guide bullet A” is generated. Further, the CPU 111a executes a guided bullet A action process or a guided bullet B action process, which will be described later, based on the determination result, thereby changing the attack by the defeated “demon soldier”. That is, control is performed so that “guide bullet B” does not move, and “guide bullet A” tracks the player character.

  The ROM 111b stores a basic program indicating a basic function of the game apparatus 1 such as a disk loading function, a game program recorded on the disk 14, and a procedure for reading game data. When the disk 14 is loaded in the disk drive unit 114, the CPU 111a operates the disk drive unit 114 according to the basic program in the ROM 111b, reads the game program and game data from the disk 14 into the RAM 111c, and sets the game start state.

  The RAM 111c provides an area for storing game programs and game data read from the disk 14 by the disk drive unit 114, and a work area for the CPU 111a to execute the game programs.

  The game program is configured by combining a plurality of programs. For example, the game progress program or the monitor 13 controls the movement of the player character displayed on the monitor 13 based on the operation signal of the player from the operation controller 12. It is constituted by a graphic control program for controlling a three-dimensional image to be displayed.

  Based on the player's operation signal from the operation controller 12, the CPU 111a reads a game program, image data, and the like from the disk 14 into the RAM 111c as necessary, and processes these data and executes the game program. The contents of the three-dimensional image to be displayed on the monitor 13 are determined.

  The drawing processing unit 112 performs various arithmetic processes necessary for the drawing process. For example, the CPU 111a outputs a drawing command to the drawing processing unit 112 every 1/60 seconds. At this time, the CPU 111a determines an image to be displayed on the monitor 13, reads out image data (polygon data of an object such as a character and background data) necessary for drawing the image, light source data, and the like from the RAM 111c and draws them. This is supplied to the processing unit 112. Further, the CPU 111 a supplies position data of each character and operation signals input from the operation controller 12 to the drawing processing unit 112.

  Based on the image data and the operation signal supplied from the CPU 111a, the drawing processing unit 112 receives data necessary for drawing (positional relationship between each object and background, coordinates of polygons constituting each object on the screen of the monitor 13, The texture corresponding to each polygon and the data such as the reflection characteristics of each polygon are calculated, and the display screen of one frame (one frame) is displayed in a VRAM (not shown) in the drawing processing unit 112 based on the calculation result. Create image data. The generated image data of the display screen is output and displayed on the monitor 13 as a video signal every 1/60 seconds, for example.

  The audio processing unit 113 performs various arithmetic processes necessary for processing for generating sound such as sound effects. When the CPU 111a determines a sound effect or BGM sound content to be output from the speaker 13a of the monitor 13, the CPU 111a outputs a voice command to the voice processing unit 113. The sound processing unit 113 reads out sound effects or BGM sound data from the RAM 111c based on a sound command from the CPU 111a, performs predetermined processing and D / A conversion processing, and then outputs them to the speaker 13a.

  The disk drive unit 114 reads a game program and game data recorded on the disk 14 based on a loading command from the CPU 111a (a read command designating a game program to be loaded and game data).

  The memory card connection unit 115 is a unit for writing / reading information relating to game progress to / from the memory card 15. When a “save data” command is issued from the player while the game is in progress or at the end of the game, the CPU 111a sends information related to the game progress to the memory card 15 via the memory card connection unit 115 (for example, the player The information includes information such as the type of game character that has been set and various privileges such as points and items that have been acquired). In addition, information regarding the game progress stored in the memory card 15 is read out to the RAM 111c before the game is started.

  The I / O interface unit 116 transmits the game program and game data read by the disk drive unit 114 and the memory card connection unit 115 and the operation signal from the operation controller 12 to the control unit 111, Video signals, audio signals, and the like from the drawing processing unit 112 and the audio processing unit 113 are transmitted to the monitor 13.

  The communication processing unit 117 performs control for transmitting and receiving data when communicating with another game apparatus 1 via a network. The communication processing unit 117 transmits an operation signal input from the operation controller 12 or a signal output from the CPU 111a to another game apparatus 1 via the network, and a signal transmitted from the other game apparatus 1 via the network. Is input to the CPU 111a.

  The operation controller 12 is operated by the player to operate the character or make various settings regarding the game, and includes a plurality of buttons 12a, a left lever 12b, and a right lever 12c. When the operation controller 12 is operated by the player, the operation signal is transmitted to the control unit 111, and the character displayed on the monitor 13 performs a predetermined action. Examples of the predetermined action include a movement action such as running, squatting, jumping, and an attack action for attacking an opponent using a weapon. The moving operation is mainly operated by the left lever 12b, and the attacking operation is mainly operated by the plurality of buttons 12a and the right lever 12c.

  The monitor 13 displays a display screen indicating the game progress state according to the video signal sent from the main body 11, or outputs sound such as sound effects from the speaker 13 a according to the voice signal sent from the main body 11. It is a device for. The monitor 13 is composed of, for example, a television receiver having an external input terminal for inputting a video signal and an audio signal.

  The disk 14 is an optical disk such as a DVD-ROM or a CD-ROM. The disc 14 stores a game program and various data and image data necessary for executing the game program. The memory card 15 is a non-volatile recording medium capable of rewriting data, such as a flash memory. Since the recording of the work area of the RAM 111c disappears when the power of the game apparatus body 11 is turned off, the memory card 15 stores information on the game progress that should remain without being erased from the recording of the work area of the RAM 111c. Record.

  The game apparatus 1 can be connected to the network line 2 such as the Internet line via the network adapter 16. In this case, it is also possible to play a game between a plurality of game devices 1 via the network line 2 (so-called “online game”). In the present embodiment, a game performed by the game apparatus 1 alone has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to such an online game.

  Next, the action process of the enemy character will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The action of each enemy character is controlled by the CPU 111a. The action of the enemy general “XX” (hereinafter referred to as “boss character”) is an action corresponding to the action pattern selected by lottery from a plurality of action patterns. In this embodiment, (1) normal action, (2) attack by a normal bullet, (3) revival ritual, and (4) guided bullet generation behavior are set as action patterns.

  When the action pattern (1) is selected, the boss character performs a normal action. The normal action includes an attack on the player character, defense against an attack from the player character, movement, and the like. Which action is to be performed is determined based on a positional relationship with the player character or by lottery. For example, when the player character enters the attack range of the boss character, the player character is set to attack frequently or take actions to defend against the attack from the player character. The attack range is an area set in advance for each enemy character, for example, a circular area having a predetermined radius centered on the position of each enemy character. On the other hand, when the player character is outside the attack range of the boss character, an action such as movement is selected. The direction and distance of movement are determined based on, for example, the positional relationship with the player character or “demon soldier” (hereinafter referred to as “Zako Chara”), the elapsed time from the start of the stage, or the like, or by lottery.

When the action pattern (2) is selected, the boss character generates a “normal bullet” with a mark and fires toward the player character. The “normal bullet” is an object shaped like a pale human soul and flies in a straight line from the boss character toward the player character. The “normal bullet” reduces the hit points of the player character when contacting the player character. When the action pattern (3) is selected, the boss character jumps and moves to a high ground, forms a mark, performs a “resurrection ritual”, and restores the dead Zako character. When the action pattern (4) is selected, the boss character jumps and moves to a high ground, and a “guide bullet A” is generated by marking and defeating the Zako character with a spell. Note that the "boss character" is intended to correspond to the "second key Yarakuta" of the present invention, the "Zakokyara" is one that corresponds to the "first key Yarakuta" of the present invention. “Guiding bullet A” is a purple human soul-like object that flies toward the player character (see FIG. 1). “Guided bullet A” has the effect of slowing down the moving speed of the player character when it comes into contact with the player character.

  The action of the boss character is selected by lottery from action patterns (1) to (4). The probability that each of these action patterns is selected varies depending on the game situation. In the present embodiment, three action tables in which the probability of action patterns is set are set according to the death situation of Zako Chara (see FIG. 4). Two death flags FDa and FDb are set for each Zako character. The death flag FDa is “ON” when it is defeated by a boss character. The death flag FDb is “ON” when the player character is defeated. While the Zako character is alive, the death flags FDa and FDb are both “OFF”. The CPU 111a selects an action table based on the state of the death flag of each Zako character, selects a behavior pattern by performing a lottery based on the lottery probability set in the action table. The boss character performs an action according to the selected action pattern.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining a boss character action process (hereinafter referred to as a “boss character action process”) performed by the CPU 111 a of the game apparatus 1. The boss character action process is a process for controlling the action of the boss character. While the boss character is arranged in the virtual game space (that is, from the start of the stage, the boss character is defeated and the stage is cleared, This is repeated until the player character is defeated and the game is over. That is, it is determined whether the boss character action process is executed at the timing of the drawing process of each frame, whether the boss character is arranged in the virtual game space, the boss character action process is not executed, and The boss character action process is started only when the boss character is arranged in the virtual game space.

  First, it is determined whether or not there is a Zako character whose death flags FDa and FDb are both “OFF” (S11). When there is no Zako character whose death flags FDa and FDb are both “OFF” (S11: NO), that is, when all Zako characters are dead, a lottery is performed based on the action table 1 (S12), and the winning action The action process based on the pattern is performed (S13), and the boss character action process is terminated. In the behavior table 1, probabilities of behavior patterns (1) to (3) are set (see FIG. 4A). Since all Zako characters have already died, the “guide bullet A” cannot be generated, and therefore the behavior pattern (4) is not set in the behavior table 1. In addition, the probability of the action pattern (3) for restoring the dead Zako character is increased.

  If there is a Zako character whose death flags FDa and FDb are both “OFF” (S11: YES), it is determined whether or not all the death flags FDa and FDb of all Zako characters are “OFF” (S14). When the death flags FDa and FDb of all Zako characters are both “OFF” (S14: YES), that is, when all Zako characters are alive, a lottery is performed based on the action table 2 (S15), and the winner is won. The action process based on the action pattern is performed (S13), and the boss character action process is terminated. In the behavior table 2, probabilities of behavior patterns (1), (2), and (4) are set (see FIG. 4B). Since all Zako characters are alive, there is no need to perform the “Resurrection Ritual”, so no action pattern (3) is set in the action table 2.

  If the death flags FDa and FDb of all the Zako characters are not “OFF” (S14: NO), that is, if there is a living Zako character and a dead Zako character, a lottery is performed based on the action table 3 (S16). ), An action process based on the selected action pattern is performed (S13), and the boss character action process is terminated. In the behavior table 3, probabilities of behavior patterns (1) to (4) are set (see FIG. 4C).

  The behavior of each Zako character is determined by whether or not the Zako character is alive and by the behavior of the boss character and the player character.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining a zako character action process (hereinafter referred to as “zako character action process”) performed by the CPU 111a of the game apparatus 1. The Zako character action process is a process for controlling the Zako character action, and is executed individually for all Zako characters arranged in the virtual game space. Zako character action processing is performed while each Zako character is placed in the virtual game space (that is, from the start of the stage until the boss character is defeated and the stage is cleared, or the player character is defeated and the game is over. ), Executed repeatedly. That is, at the timing of the drawing process of each frame, it is determined whether or not the Zako character action process for a certain Zako character is executed, and whether or not the Zako character is arranged in the virtual game space. The Zako character action process is started only when the Zako character is not executed and the Zako character is arranged in the virtual game space.

  First, it is determined whether or not the death flags FDa and FDb are both “OFF” (S21). When the death flags FDa and FDb are both “OFF” (S21: YES), that is, when the Zako character is alive, it is determined whether or not the boss character has performed a guided bullet generation action (S22). Note that it is determined that the boss character has performed the induced bullet generation behavior because the action pattern (4) is won in step S15 or S16 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, and the induced bullet generation behavior is processed in step S13. It is the timing when the boss character has signed a mark.

  When the boss character performs a guided bullet generation action (S22: YES), the hit point of the Zako character is set to zero (S23), the death flag FDa is set to “ON” (S24), and “guided bullet A” is generated. (S25). In the generation of the “guide bullet A”, the presence flag FEa indicating the presence of the “guide bullet A” is set to “ON”, and the position coordinate of the Zako Chara (the position of the moment when it is defeated) This is done by setting (coordinates). When the presence flag FEa is set to “ON”, the “guide bullet A” is set as a drawing process target, and a guided bullet A action process described later is executed on the “guide bullet A”. Next, a Zako character death process is performed (S26), and the Zako character action process is terminated. In the death process, a calculation for a drawing process that represents the movement of the Zako character falls is performed. At this time, a guided bullet A action process, which is a separate process from the Zako Chara action process, is performed. Therefore, the “guide bullet A” is generated from the dead Zako character and the video for tracking the player character is displayed.

  If the boss character is not performing the induced bullet generation behavior (S22: NO), it is determined whether or not the Zako character has been attacked by the player character (PC) (S27). When receiving an attack from the player character (S27: YES), the hit points are reduced (S28). The hit points to be reduced are calculated according to the attack power of the player character, the type of attack, the defense power of the Zako character, and the like. Next, it is determined whether or not the hit point of the Zako character has become zero (S29). When the hit point of the Zako character becomes zero (S29: YES), that is, when the Zako character is defeated by the player character, the death flag FDb is set to “ON” (S30), and “Guided bullet B” is generated. (S31). In the generation of “guided bullet B”, the presence flag FEb indicating the presence of “guided bullet B” is set to “ON”, and the position coordinate of the Zako Chara (position at the moment of being defeated) This is done by setting (coordinates). When the presence flag FEb is set to “ON”, the “guided bullet B” is set as a drawing process target, and a guided bullet B action process described later is executed on the “guided bullet B”. Next, a Zako character death process is performed (S26), and the Zako character action process is terminated. Also in this case, since the death process and the guided bullet B action process are executed independently, an image in which “guided bullet B” is generated from a Zako character who dies and falls is displayed. The “guide bullet B” does not move, but remains above the beaten Zako character (a position based on the position coordinates of the Zako character at the time of the fall) (see FIG. 1). The “guide bullet B” is a purple-like object like the “guide bullet A”, and has an effect of slowing the moving speed of the player character when touching the player character.

  If no attack from the player character is received in step S27 (S27: NO), or if the hit point of the Zako character is not zero in step S29 (S29: NO), normal action processing is performed. (S32), the Zako character action process is terminated. The normal action process is a process for causing the Zako character to perform actions such as attacking the player character, defending an attack from the player character, or moving toward the player character. Which action is to be performed is determined based on a positional relationship with the player character or by lottery.

  In step S21, if one of the death flags FDa and FDb is not “OFF” (S21: NO), that is, if the Zako character is dead, it is determined whether or not the boss character has performed a “resurrection ritual”. (S33). It is determined that the boss character has performed the “resurrection ritual” in step S12 or S16 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 in which the action pattern (3) is won, and the “resurrection ritual” process is performed in step S13. It is the timing when the boss character has signed a mark.

  When the boss character performs the “resurrection ritual” (S33: YES), the hit point of the Zako character is set to the maximum value (initial value preset for the Zako character) (S34), and the Zako character recovery process is performed. (S35), the Zako character action process is terminated. In the resurrection process, the death flag FDa and the death flag FDb are set to “OFF”, and a calculation for a drawing process representing the movement of the Zako character is performed. Further, the presence flag FEa and the presence flag FEb are set to “OFF”. Therefore, the “guide bullet” disappears, and an image in which the Zako character rises is displayed. In addition, when the “guide bullet” has already disappeared, only the video where the Zako character rises is displayed. If the boss character has not performed the “resurrection ritual” (S33: NO), the Zako character action is terminated without performing the Zako character action.

  The action of each “guide bullet” is determined by the elapsed time from the occurrence of the “guide bullet”, whether the player character has been touched, and whether the player character has been attacked. In addition, there is a difference in behavior between “guided bullet A” and “guided bullet B”. That is, “guide bullet A” tracks and attacks the player character, but “guide bullet B” differs in that it remains on the spot without tracking the player character.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining an action process of “guided bullet A” (hereinafter referred to as “guided bullet A action process”) performed by the CPU 111 a of the game apparatus 1. The guided bullet A action process is a process for controlling the action of the “guide bullet A”, and all the “guide bullets A” whose existence flag FEa is “ON” (that is, exist in the virtual game space). Are executed individually. The guided bullet A behavior process is executed for each drawing process timing of all frames. In the present embodiment, the guided bullet A action process is executed for every “guide bullet A” at every drawing processing timing of all frames, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the guided bullet A action process may be executed by shifting by one frame for each “guide bullet A” (that is, by shifting by 1/60 second). In this case, for example, when there are three “guided bullets A”, the guided bullet A action process for each “guided bullet A” is executed every three frames.

  First, after the “guide bullet A” is generated (that is, after the presence flag FEa is turned “ON”), it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed (S41). In the present embodiment, for example, 15 seconds is set as the predetermined time, but is not limited thereto. Further, the determination may be made not by the elapsed time but by the distance traveled by the “guide bullet A”. When the predetermined time has elapsed (S41: YES), a guided bullet extinction process is performed (S42), and the guided bullet A action process is terminated. In the guided bullet extinction process, the presence flag FEa of the “guide bullet A” is set to “OFF” and deleted from the drawing process target. Further, at the timing of the drawing process for the next frame, the guided bullet A action process for the “guided bullet A” is not executed.

  If the predetermined time has not elapsed in step S41 (S41: NO), it is determined whether or not the “guide bullet A” has contacted the player character (PC) (S43). The determination of the contact overlaps, for example, a sphere area with a predetermined radius centered on the position coordinate of the “guide bullet A” and a sphere area with a predetermined radius centered on the position coordinate of the player character position coordinate. Judgment is made by whether or not there is a part. The method for determining contact is not limited to this. For example, the determination may be made based on whether or not the position coordinates of the “guide bullet A” match the coordinates on the polygons constituting the player character.

  When the player character is touched (S43: YES), a process of slowing down the movement action of the player character is performed (S44), a guided bullet extinction process is performed (S42), and the guided bullet A action process is terminated. The The process of making the movement action of the player character slow includes the process of turning on the slow flag FS indicating that the movement action of the player character is in the slow state, and the process of turning the slow flag FS “ON”. The counter CS for counting the elapsed time is set to zero. While the slow flag FS is “ON”, the movement speed of the player character is set to be slow in the process for the operation of the player character. That is, the movement distance for the operation input for the movement of the player character is shorter than usual. Note that the slow flag FS is turned “OFF” when the elapsed time from when it is “ON” reaches a predetermined time (when the counter CS reaches a predetermined time). In the present embodiment, the predetermined time is, for example, 15 seconds. That is, the player character enters a state where the moving speed is slow for 15 seconds after contacting the “guide bullet A”.

  On the other hand, if the player character is not touched (S43: NO), it is determined whether or not the player character has been attacked (S45). Whether or not an attack has occurred is determined based on, for example, the attack direction of the player character and the distance between the player character and the “guide bullet A”. When attacked (S45: YES), the durability value of the “guide bullet A” is reduced (S47). When the durability value of the “guided bullet A” becomes zero (step S48: YES), the guided bullet extinction process is performed (S42), and the guided bullet A action process is terminated. That is, the “guide bullet A” is extinguished when an attack of a predetermined level or more is applied by the player character.

  If the durability value of the “guide bullet A” does not become zero in step S48 (S48: NO), or if the player character is not attacked in step S45 (S45: NO), the player character's A tracking process is performed (S46), and the guided bullet A action process is terminated. The player character tracking process includes a process of calculating the direction of the player character based on the position coordinate of the “guide bullet A” and the position coordinate of the player character, and the position coordinate of the “guide bullet A” in the direction. This is a process of moving only the distance. Since the drawing process is performed after the process, an image in which the “guide bullet A” is moved toward the player character is drawn, so that the “guide bullet A” follows the player character and moves. Will be displayed.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the action process of “guided bullet B” (hereinafter referred to as “guided bullet B action process”) performed by the CPU 111a of the game apparatus 1. The guided bullet B action process is a process for controlling the action of the “guide bullet B”, and all the “guide bullets B” whose existence flag FEb is “ON” (that is, exist in the virtual game space). Are executed individually. The guided bullet B action process is executed for each drawing process timing of all frames. In the present embodiment, the guided bullet B action process is executed for every “guide bullet B” at every drawing processing timing of all frames, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the guided bullet B action process may be executed by shifting by one frame for each “guide bullet B” (that is, by shifting by 1/60 second). In this case, for example, when there are three “guided bullets B”, the guided bullet B action process for each “guided bullet B” is executed every three frames.

  First, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the “guide bullet B” was generated (that is, after the presence flag FEb was turned “ON”) (S51). In the present embodiment, for example, 30 seconds is set as the predetermined time, but is not limited thereto. When the predetermined time has elapsed (S51: YES), a guided bullet extinction process is performed (S52), and the guided bullet B action process is terminated. In the guided bullet extinction process, the presence flag FEb of the “guide bullet B” is set to “OFF” and is deleted from the drawing process target. Further, at the timing of the next frame drawing process, the guided bullet B action process for the “guide bullet B” is not executed.

  If the predetermined time has not elapsed in step S51 (S51: NO), it is determined whether or not the “guide bullet B” has contacted the player character (PC) (S53). The determination of the contact is performed in the same manner as the determination of the contact between the “guide bullet A” and the player character.

  When the player character is touched (S53: YES), a process of slowing down the player character is performed (S54), a guided bullet extinction process is performed (S52), and the guided bullet B action process is terminated. The process of making the player character slow is the same as the case where the “guide bullet A” and the player character are in contact with each other.

  On the other hand, if the player character is not touched (S53: NO), it is determined whether or not the player character has been attacked (S55). The determination of whether or not an attack has been received is the same as in the case of “guided bullet A”. When attacked (S55: YES), the durability value of the “guide bullet B” is reduced (S56). When the durability value of the “guided bullet B” becomes zero (step S57: YES), a guided bullet extinction process is performed (S52), and the guided bullet B action process ends. That is, the “guide bullet B” is extinguished when an attack of a predetermined level or more is applied by the player character.

  If the endurance value of the “guide bullet B” does not become zero in step S57 (S57: NO), or if no attack is received from the player character in step S55 (S55: NO), the guide bullet B action process is complete | finished. In the guided bullet B action process, since the tracking process of the player character is not performed, an image staying at the position where the “guide bullet B” is generated is displayed.

Note that determining whether the presence flag FEa is “ON” and whether the presence flag FEb is “ON” determines “ how the first character is defeated ” according to the present invention. to "particular correspondence, according to the determination of the existence flags FEa and existence flag FEb, decide to perform the missile a behavioral treatment or missile B behavioral treatment were" determining the invention debt This corresponds to “determining the attack mode corresponding to the way of doing”. This determination and determination is performed by the CPU 111a.

  According to this embodiment, the Zako character generates different “guide bullets” when it is defeated by the player character and when it is defeated by the boss character. That is, when the player character is defeated, a “guide bullet B” that stays in place and does not move is generated, and when the player character is defeated, a “guide bullet A” that tracks and moves the player character is generated. Let When the player defeats the Zako character for the first time, the player feels fresh when the Zako character generates “Guided bullet B”, but knows that “Guided bullet B” is generated after the second time. Care can be taken not to touch B ”. However, since the player thinks that the “guide bullet A” generated when the Zako character is defeated by the boss character does not move in the same manner as the “guide bullet B”, the “guide bullet A” follows the player character and moves. I feel surprised and impatient. That is, the player receives an unexpected attack and can feel freshness in the game.

  Also, even if the player knows that there are two types of “guided bullets” that are generated when the Zako character is defeated, the player should avoid generating “guided bullet A” as much as possible (before the boss character defeats it). To defeat Zako Characters as much as possible to generate “Guided Bullet B”), and strategies to defeat each Zako Character and generate “Guided Bullet B” where it does not interfere with the movement of the player character. You can fight with various strategies and increase the fun of the battle.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, since the player performs an unexpected action that the boss character defeats the Zako character, the player can be surprised and feel a fresh taste of the game.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the boss character causes the “guide bullet A” to be generated by defeating the Zako character by means of magic is not limited to this, but the Zako Character can be obtained by other attack methods (for example, attack by a sword or a gun). You may make it generate "guide bullet A" by defeating. Further, although the case where “guide bullet A” tracks the player character and “guide bullet B” stays on the spot has been described, the movement speeds of “guide bullet A” and “guide bullet B” are made different. It may be just an object with a different size or form. Further, although the case where the movement speed of the player character is slowed down due to contact with the “guide bullet” has been described, the movement of the player character may be stopped for a certain period of time, or the player character may be damaged. . In this case, the time during which the player character stops moving and the amount of damage received by the player character may be different between “guided bullet A” and “guided bullet B”.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the "guide bullet A" or the "guide bullet B" was generated when the Zako character was defeated, the attack method (attack mode) by the defeated Zako character is limited to this. Absent. For example, a “guide bullet” may be generated when defeated by a boss character, but may be exploded to involve the player character when defeated by the player character. Further, the attack power may be changed instead of changing the attack method.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the attack method was changed by the case where a Zako character was defeated by the player character and the case where it was defeated by the boss character, it is not restricted to this. For example, when the Zako character is self-destructed or is defeated by a character who is a subordinate of the player character, another method may be used. In this case, the enemy character to be defeated is not limited to the Zako character, but may be another enemy character such as a boss character.

  In addition, when the player character operated by the player can be selected, the attack method of the defeated enemy character may be changed depending on the player character to be used.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the attack method was changed with the person (character) who defeated the enemy character, it is not restricted to this, The attack method is based on the method (technique and weapon) where the player character defeated the enemy character. May be changed. For example, if the player character defeats an enemy character with a gun, the enemy character will explode and involve the player character in the explosion. The enemy characters may attack the player character separately. Further, the attack method may be changed by a method in which the boss character defeats the Zako character (for example, when defeated by a spell or when defeated by a sword).

  Further, the attack method, attack power, etc. (attack mode) may be changed depending on the time zone or place where the enemy character is defeated. For example, if an enemy character is defeated during the day, the attack power of the enemy character that has been killed and changed remains the same as before the kill, but if the enemy character is killed after sunset, the attack power of the enemy character that has been killed and changed You may make it increase from before defeating. Further, when an enemy character is defeated at a predetermined position (for example, in front of a grave), the attack power of the enemy character that has been defeated and changed may be increased from before the defeat.

In the above embodiment, the case where the game is executed on the home game device has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The present invention can be applied without being limited to the type of game device on which a game is executed. For example, a game is executed on a portable game device, an arcade game device, and a personal computer on which game software is installed. It can also be applied to.

  Although the case where the game apparatus 1 is used alone has been described in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, a plurality of game apparatuses 1 are connected by cable or wireless communication, the game apparatus 1 is connected to a game server via a network line 2, or the game apparatuses 1 are connected to each other via a network line 2. The present invention can also be applied to the case where the game apparatus 1 is used to simultaneously play a game.

  Although the action game has been described as an example in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can also be applied to a game in which a player character and an enemy character fight, such as a shooting game or a fighting game.

  Further, the present invention is a game in which a character operated by a plurality of players or a character controlled by a CPU forms a team and cooperates with an enemy character, or a character operated by another player as an enemy character. It can also be applied to such games. Further, the enemy character may not be an object imitating a personality, and may be a movable weapon such as a robot, a fighter, a tank, or a cannon.
