Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel love affair game.SOLUTION: One favorite person is selected from among appearing girl characters 4 before the start of the game. a favorable image Pg is increased by executing events 3, 3s with the favorite girl characters 4(4h), and when the image reaches a love declaration event 7(7h), good ending is executed. During the events with a favorite girl, a disturbance event 5 with a girl other then the favorite girl is forcibly executed. Also in the girl 4(4g) other than the favorite girl, the favorable image Pg is raised according to an event result, and the love declaration event 7(7g) is generated. When "jilting" the girl, the favorable image Pg of the favorite girl character 4(4h) is largely increased, but the conscience durability 40 of a player character 2 is lowered. When the conscience durability is lacked, bad ending is executed by forcibly accepting love declaration at the love declaration event of the girl other than the favorite girl.

Description

  The present invention relates to a program for causing a computer to execute a simulation game related to love.

  A popular genre of video games is “Love Games”. The love game is a game for the purpose of enjoying pseudo love. Although it can be classified into various types depending on where the game content is focused on in love, in a typical type called love SLG (simulation game) among the love games, the player manipulates the player character or a virtual character. The purpose is to fulfill various events and make the opposite sex characters have a good feeling (by increasing the parameter values related to the favor of the opposite sex characters that appear according to the action results in the event), and fulfill the romance (For example, refer nonpatent literature 1).

  However, video games are always required to add some newness and fun, and new games are also required for love games (first problem).

Further, as the second problem, for example, there are the following problems.
In the known romance game, anyone of the opposite character of the character can be used for the time being, so if the romance can be fulfilled in the form of “confession” or the like, it is often treated as having experienced pseudo romance. However, in an actual romance, it is not the case that “anyone should be able to associate with each other”, but the fulfillment of the romance with the opposite of “aim” or “favorite” is the most desirable. In that sense, from the game point of view, the former case can be classified as bad ending, and only the fulfillment of love with the opposite “the target” opposite sex can be classified as good ending.

  However, this classification is ambiguous in known romance games, the feeling of bad ending when romance is fulfilled with the opposite sex other than "Aim" and "Fate", for example, some kind of romance related to romance such as "I'm happy but a little sorry" It was difficult to experience bitterness.

Also, in actual romance, it is not always necessary to receive confession from another sex at an unexpected time in the process of fulfilling the love affair with the opposite sex.
Furthermore, in connection with confession, the bittersweet experience of saying “I actually intended to refuse confession, but I accepted the confession after being dismissed” is also an important factor to enjoy in love.

In addition, the act of “refusing confession”, or “shaking”, is an important element of romance that feels remorse of conscience, especially in a one-to-many situation where multiple opposites favor one person. “Shake” and “Don't shake” affect the behavior of rivals, which can complicate love patterns and make love more interesting.
However, in the known romance game, it is difficult to say that the bittersweet aspects of romance related to such “confession” are fully incorporated (second problem).

A first form for solving the above problems is a simulation game relating to love between a player character or a virtual person (hereinafter, representatively referred to as “virtual person”) hesitated and a plurality of characters appearing. A program for causing a computer to execute
Event execution means for executing an event that progresses when the player selects and operates an option (for example, the operation input unit 100, the processing unit 200, the game calculation unit 210, the event control unit 220 in FIG. 13, and the scenario data in FIG. 15). 530, steps S48 to S260 in FIG.
Favorability changing means (for example, the processing unit 200, the game calculation unit 210, and the event control in FIG. 13) that changes the likability of the appearance character determined in advance for the virtual person based on the event execution result by the event execution means. Unit 220, favorable sensitivity Pg (576c) in FIG. 17, step S54 in FIG.
Detection means for detecting an appearance character whose likability satisfies a predetermined limit condition (for example, processing unit 200, game calculation unit 210, confession control unit 226 in FIG. 13, steps S162 and S170 in FIG. 23).
Ending effect executing means for executing a predetermined ending effect in response to detection by the detecting means (for example, the processing unit 200, the game calculation unit 210, the confession control unit 226 in FIG. 13, the moving image data library 568 in FIG. 14, and FIG. 23). Steps S190 to S194) are programs for causing the computer to function.

Further, as another embodiment, a game device that executes a simulation game related to a love between a virtual person and each of a plurality of characters,
Event execution means for executing an event that progresses when the player selects and operates an option (for example, direction input key 1402, button switch 1404, touch panels 1407 and 1409, control unit 1450 in FIG. 1, operation input unit in FIG. 13) 100, processing unit 200, game calculation unit 210, event control unit 220, scenario data 530 in FIG. 15, steps S48 to S260 in FIG.
Favorability changing means (for example, the control unit 1450 in FIG. 1, the processing unit 200 in FIG. 13, and the like) for changing the likability with respect to the virtual person predetermined for the appearance character based on the execution result of the event by the event execution means. A game calculation unit 210, an event control unit 220, a favorable sensitivity Pg (576c) in FIG. 17, and a step S54 in FIG.
Detecting means for detecting an appearance character whose likability satisfies a predetermined limit condition (for example, control unit 1450 in FIG. 1, processing unit 200 in FIG. 13, game calculation unit 210, confession control unit 226, step S162 in FIG. 23) , S170),
Ending effect execution means (for example, the first liquid crystal display 1406, the second liquid crystal display 1408 in FIG. 1, the control unit 1450, the processing unit 200 in FIG. 13, the game) that executes a predetermined ending effect in response to detection by the detection means. A game device including the calculation unit 210, the confession control unit 226, the moving image data library 568 in FIG. 14, and steps S190 to S194 in FIG. 23 can be configured.

The “limit condition” mentioned here can include parameter values, changes, and the like.
Further, “favorability” is a parameter indicating the state of the spirit of the appearing character, and represents the degree of favor for the player character or the virtual person that the player is jealous, and the degree of love feelings.
The “virtual person” means a “virtual” person in the sense that the figure is not drawn during the game because the first-person-view game screen configuration is adopted.

The second form is an event selection means (for example, the home screen W4 in FIG. 4 or the operation input unit in FIG. 13) that selects an event according to a player's selection operation among the plurality of events in which any of the appearance characters appears. 100, processing unit 200, game calculation unit 210, event control unit 220, favorite selection screen setting data 504, steps S22, S46 to S50 in FIG.
The event execution means is a first form of program that causes the computer to function to execute the event selected by the event selection means.

And the 3rd form is a character selection means (for example, the operation input part 100 of FIG. 13, the process part 200, the game calculating part 210, the favorite setting part 212, the character which selects one character from the said some appearance character, As the favorite selection screen setting data 504, steps S2 to S6 in FIG.
The ending effect executing means causes the computer to function so as to have a good ending effect executing means for executing a predetermined good ending effect when the appearance character detected by the detecting means is the desired character. It is a program of the 1st or 2nd form.

  According to the third mode, in a game about love, for example, a player can select a desired character as one character from a plurality of characters as a partner to fulfill love. In this case, the good ending effect can be performed when the favorable sensitivity of the desired character (one character) can be successfully reached. Paradoxically, for example, even if you create a situation that leads to the “confession” of the typical romance game type mentioned above, you can achieve good ending effects even if you want to limit the likability other than the desired character It is not done. A romance game with the opposite sex other than "Aim" and "Fate" has been achieved, and a romance game that can experience a kind of bitterness related to romance such as "I'm happy but a little sorry" can be realized.

  In addition, the player can freely select an event in which the appearance character appears. That is, the desired event can be enjoyed at the timing preferred by the player. Therefore, compared to a scenario-fixed romance game where it is decided which character and in what order the event will be handled, the romance fulfillment with the opposite sex other than `` Aim '' and `` Faith '' Even when a bad ending is reached, the feeling that is the result of the player's own selection is heightened, further enhancing the kind of bitterness associated with romance.

  In a fourth form, the event execution means executes an event in which any of the appearance characters appears, and the favorability change means causes an appearance character other than the one character to appear by the event execution means. A third form of a program for causing the computer to function such that, when an event is executed, the favorability of the one character is changed based on the execution result of the event.

  According to the fourth mode, the same effect as that of the program of the third mode can be exhibited, and the exchange with other than one character can affect the favorableness of one character. Therefore, the fun as a love game can be further enhanced.

In the fifth embodiment, the appearance character detected by the detection means confesses to the virtual person, and a confession event execution means (for example, FIG. 13) executes a confession event in which the player selects and selects response options for the confession. Operation input unit 100, processing unit 200, game calculation unit 210, confession control unit 226, steps S174 and S176 in FIG.
In the confession event, when the player selects and selects a response option for declining, a declining processing means (for example, conscience endurance 40 in FIG. 6) for reducing the durability parameter value predetermined for the virtual person ( For example, the operation input unit 100, the processing unit 200, the game calculation unit 210, the confession control unit 226 in FIG. 13, step S188 in FIG. 23),
As the computer functions as
When the confession event is executed by the confession event executing means when the ending effect execution means is executed by the appearance character other than the one character when the durability parameter value is less than the reduction amount by the decline processing means. And a bad ending effect executing means for executing a predetermined bad ending effect (for example, the operation input unit 100, the processing unit 200, the game calculation unit 210, the confession control unit 226 in FIG. 13, and step S178 in FIG. 23). It is the program of the 3rd or 4th form for making the said computer function.

According to the fifth form, the virtual person can exert the same effect as the program of the third or fourth form, and the virtual person feels as if he feels a remorse of conscience by the action of “refusing confession”, that is, “shaking”. You can take damage.
Then, when a confession is received from an appearing character other than one character (for example, a desired character) in a state where the durability parameter value is low enough to allow the next damage, the bad ending effect can be executed. In other words, if you really want to refuse confession, there is no power to refuse confession, so for example, by realizing an undesired ending such as `` accepting confession without breaking '' You will be able to experience the bittersweet aspects of romance.

In the sixth embodiment, simultaneous confession event execution means for executing a simultaneous confession event (for example, the operation input unit 100, the processing unit 200, and the game calculation in FIG. 13) for executing a simultaneous confession event in which a plurality of characters appear to the virtual person at the same time Section 210, confession control section 226, confession execution character list 584, steps S170 to S174) of FIG.
When the player selects and selects a response option for declining in the confession event, and the refusal processing means has a response option for declining for all the appearance characters in the simultaneous confession event. In any case where the player performs a selection operation, a fifth mode for causing the computer to function so as to reduce the value of the durability parameter by a predetermined reduction unit amount (for example, the subtraction amount ΔDc in FIG. 6). It is a program.

  More preferably, as a seventh aspect, when the simultaneous confession event execution means detects a plurality of appearance characters at the same time by the detection means, the simultaneous confession event by the appearance characters is performed. A sixth form of program for causing the computer to function can be implemented so as to be executed.

  According to the sixth and seventh embodiments, the same effect as the program of the fifth embodiment can be exhibited, and a plurality of characters can be confessed together. On the other hand, the damage received by declining the confession can be set to a predetermined reduction unit amount regardless of the number of characters who have confessed. In other words, it is possible to incorporate a mechanism that can reduce the damage received by “shaking” characters other than “Aim” and “Fate”.

In an eighth mode, the virtual person promises to perform a given promised action with the one character based on the operation input of the player (for example, event 3s in FIG. 6, FIG. 15). Promise event generation means (for example, the processing unit 200, the game calculation unit 210, the confession control unit 226 in FIG. 13),
The appearance character other than the one character causes an inhibition event generation means for generating an inhibition event that inhibits the execution of the promised action (for example, the obstruction event 5 in FIG. 6, the processing unit 200 in FIG. 13, the game calculation unit 210, Confession control unit 226),
When the virtual person performs the promised action according to the promised event generated by the promised event generating means, the promised performance processing means (for example, the process of FIG. 13) increases the likability of the one character. Part 200, game operation part 210, confession control part 226, step S292 in FIG. 30), and any one of third to seventh programs for causing the computer to function.

According to the eighth embodiment, the same effect as that of the program of any of the third to seventh embodiments can be exhibited, and a given promised action (for example, dating) with one character (for example, a desired character) Can be generated after a promise event that promises to meet a certain place at a certain date and time, rent out an object, etc.).
On the other hand, when the virtual person performs an action equivalent to performing the promised action, that is, when the player makes such a selection, the likability of one character can be increased.

  In a ninth mode, the computer is configured to cause the inhibition event generation means to cause the inhibition event to be generated by changing the occurrence probability of the inhibition event in accordance with the favorability of the one character. This is a program of 8 forms.

  According to the 9th form, while being able to exhibit the effect similar to the program of an 8th form, a change can be brought about in the progress of a game. For example, if the occurrence rate of the inhibition event is increased as the likability increases, the failure events increase as the romance fulfillment with one character is approached, and the development of the game is excited.

In the tenth aspect, inhibition event execution determining means for determining whether to execute the inhibition event generated by the inhibition event generation means according to the operation input of the player (for example, the processing unit 200, the game calculation unit 210 in FIG. 13). , Event control unit 220, step S288 in FIG. 30),
Inhibition event execution means for executing the inhibition event when it is determined to be executed by the inhibition event execution decision means (for example, the processing unit 200, the game calculation unit 210, the event control unit 220 in FIG. 13, step S290 in FIG. 30 → Step S48 in FIG. 18)
Inhibition event non-execution processing means for changing a predetermined parameter value (for example, conscience endurance 40 in FIG. 6) that is one of the criteria for changing the game progress when it is determined not to be executed by the inhibition event execution determination means ( For example, the processing unit 200 in FIG. 13, the game calculation unit 210, the event control unit 220, step S291 in FIG. 30),
As a program of the eighth or ninth form for further functioning the computer.

  According to the tenth aspect, the same effect as the program of the eighth or ninth aspect can be exhibited, and the player can select the execution of the inhibition event, and the result is one of the criteria for changing the game progress. Since the parameter value is changed, it is possible to increase the diversity of development as a love SLG and to make the game more interesting.

The eleventh aspect is a correlation diagram display control means (for example, the processing unit 200 of FIG. 13, game calculation) that controls the display of a given correlation diagram in which icons indicating the respective characters and icons indicating the virtual persons are arranged. Unit 210, correlation diagram management unit 214, step S30 in FIG. 20),
Position changing means for changing the position of the icon indicating the virtual person on the correlation diagram in accordance with the player's operation (for example, the processing unit 200, the game calculation unit 210, the correlation diagram management unit 214 in FIG. 13, steps S32 to S32 in FIG. 20). S34), and causing the computer to function as
The liking change means changes the liking degree of the appearance character to a positional relationship (for example, distance L in FIG. 10) between the icon indicating the virtual person and the icon indicating the appearance character on the correlation diagram. Any one of the first to tenth functions for causing the computer to function so as to have means for changing based on it (for example, the processing unit 200 in FIG. 13, the game calculation unit 210, the correlation diagram management unit 214, and the step S36 in FIG. 20). It is a program of some form.

In the twelfth mode, profile setting means (for example, the processing unit 200 in FIG. 13, the game calculation unit 210, and the profile setting screen W18 in FIG. 24) for setting the profile of the virtual person based on the operation input of the player,
Based on a profile set in advance for each of the appearance characters and a profile set by the profile setting means, a given arrangement position of an icon indicating each of the appearance characters and an icon indicating the virtual person is determined. Correlation diagram display control means for controlling the display of the correlation diagram (for example, the processing unit 200 in FIG. 13, the game calculation unit 210, the correlation diagram management unit 214, the correlation data automatic generation process in FIG. 27, the steps S24 to S26 in FIG. 20 step S30), and causing the computer to function as
The preference change means has means for changing a change degree of the preference of the appearance character based on a positional relationship between the icon indicating the virtual person and the icon indicating the appearance character on the correlation diagram. A program according to any one of first to tenth modes for causing the computer to function.

  According to the eleventh and twelfth aspects, the same effect as the program of any one of the first to sixth aspects can be exhibited, and the correlation between the virtual person and the appearance characters is set, and this is shown in the correlation diagram. Can be displayed as Then, when the player performs an operation for changing the correlation relationship in the correlation diagram, the degree of change in the favorability of the appearance character can be changed according to the changing operation. In other words, an element called correlation between persons can be incorporated into the game, and the correlation can be reflected in the form of the degree of change in the likability of the appearing character. Therefore, diversity can be brought about in how the appearance character favors the virtual person. The correlation can be changed by the player, and the simulation can be improved.

  In the twelfth embodiment, the correlation diagram can be set based on the player profile and the appearance character profile. As a result, the correlation between the player himself and the appearing character is reflected in the game, so that the pseudo-love feeling is further enhanced.

  In the thirteenth mode, a change preference notification unit (for example, the processing unit 200, the sound generation unit 250, the image generation unit 260, and the configuration shown in FIG. 34) that notifies the player of the preference changed by the preference change unit. Step S189c) is a program according to any one of the first to twelfth modes for causing the computer to further function.

[Description of game overview]
Next, the outline | summary of the love SLG in this embodiment is demonstrated.
FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an outline of person setting. The role of the player in the love SLG of the present embodiment is the player character 2 sought by all of the female characters 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4h; all of which are NPCs (non-player characters)) who are members of a certain group. . Note that the player character 2 does not necessarily appear as a visual in the game, but is illustrated as a male character for convenience of explanation. If the game progresses on a first person screen in which the player character 2 does not appear in the game, the player character 2 is a virtual person who is jealous of the player.

The group in this embodiment is a real female idol group in the entertainment world, and the female character 4 is modeled on a real female entertainer. The player character 2 corresponds to the manager or the president of the affiliated production.
Of course, the player's position changes depending on the definition of the group. For example, the group may be a virtual group. If the group is a club activity of a female student, the player character 2 can be a manager, a manager, or a single male member. The male and female settings of the player character 2 and the female character 4 may be reversed.

Now, before starting the game, the player can call the desired character that only one person wants to fulfill the romance from among the female characters 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4h) of the group as “aim” or “favorite”. Select a female character.
Specifically, for example, a favorite selection screen W2 as shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the first liquid crystal display 1406 or the second liquid crystal display 1408 as a game screen for pre-game preparation. On the favorite selection screen W2, icons 6 (6a, 6b,..., 6h) of all the female characters 4 that can be selected as “favorite” are displayed so that the player can select the position of the selection marker 8 in the direction. The position is moved to the position of the female character who wants to be “favorite” by an operation on the input key 1402 or a touch operation with the stylus pen 1416, and a predetermined selection determination operation is performed for determination. Hereinafter, the selected female character is referred to as “a“ famous ”female character” ”. In the example of FIG. 2, the female character 4 (4h) corresponds to this.

  The female character 4 (4h) selected on the favorite selection screen W2 is registered as the type “real favorite”, and the other female characters 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4g) are the player character 2 and the “favorite” female. It is registered as a “disturbance” character that obstructs the fulfillment of love with the character 4 (4h).

The female character 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4g) set to the type “disturbance” finds various opportunities for the player character 2 as it folds, and sometimes tempts it by forcibly creating opportunities. Players must fulfill their romance with the “faithful” girls without losing their hearts to the other girls.
In this embodiment, “achievement of love” means accepting a confession from the female character 4, but depending on the content of the game, the period from the start of dating is the subject of game play, and marriage is fulfilled by love. It can be set as appropriate.

  The progress of the game is basically based on repeating an event with the female character 4 selected by the player. In this embodiment, when the game is started, a home screen W4 as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the first liquid crystal display 1406 or the second liquid crystal display 1408, and an event play is performed by selecting an event partner on the screen. Start.

  Specifically, the home screen W4 of this embodiment has a layout as if a virtual incoming call history is displayed assuming that the portable game apparatus 1400 is a virtual mobile phone. In the virtual incoming call history display unit 10, the dialogue partner selection icons 12 corresponding to any of the female characters 4 are displayed as many as the number of the female characters 4 that appear. On the conversation partner selection icon 12, a virtual latest incoming call date and time 13 automatically calculated according to the play result and a virtual call number 15 are combined and displayed.

  A selection marker 14 is displayed on any one of the plurality of dialogue partner selection icons 12. The player moves the selection marker 14 by a movement operation with the direction input key 1402 or a touch operation of the movement destination with the stylus pen 1416, and inputs a predetermined selection determination operation, whereby the female character of the opponent who plays the event, In other words, it is possible to select a “dialog partner female character” to be talked about.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of an event screen that is a game screen during an event play. The love SLG of this embodiment employs a command selection type event play. The event screens W6 and W8 include a character image 20 of a female character that interacts with the player character 2 in the event, and a text display unit 22 that displays the dialogue, situation explanation, operation guide, and the like of the female character.

  One event is composed of a plurality of scenes, and scenes serving as scenario branch points are included in each event. In the scene that becomes the branch point, as shown in the event screen W8, the command guide 24 (24a, 24b, 24c) for the action selection input of the player character 2 is displayed. At one branch point, for example, an option of favorable content that increases the favor (favorability) of the female character 4 who is the conversation partner, an option of content that makes the opponent estranged such that the favor decreases, and the like An intermediate option is prepared. Of course, it is not necessarily one type at a time, and the number, ratio, content type, etc. can be appropriately set in consideration of the game balance.

  FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram showing an outline of how to proceed with the love SLG in the present embodiment. In the figure, rectangular bands arranged along the timeline 9 in the game world indicate individual event play. The band pattern represents the difference between the female characters 4 related to the event.

  In order to fulfill the romance with the female character 4 (4h) selected as the “favorite”, the player increases the favorable sensitivity Pg of the female character 4 through a number of events 3, 3s (white belt in the figure). There is a need to go.

  This “favorability Pg” is a parameter value that is uniquely provided for all the female characters 4 that appear, and indicates the degree of affection of the player character 2 that each female character 4 has and the excitement of romantic feelings. In the figure, the magnitude of the preference Pg is represented by the size of the heart mark. The action selection input of the player character 2 made during the event play not only affects the story development in the event, but also contributes to increasing or decreasing the favorable sensitivity Pg of the female character 4 as the conversation partner.

When the likability Pg reaches the maximum value which is a limit condition, a confession event 7 occurs in which the female character 4 confesses love to the player character 2. Of course, the limit condition does not need to be the maximum value, and it is a matter of course that a certain value is reached.
In the confession event 7, for example, a confession screen W10 as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. On the confession screen W10, the character image 21 for the confession event of the female character 4 to be confessed (4h in the example in the figure) is displayed, and the confession line is displayed on the text display unit 22. In addition, an action selection command guide 24 (24d, 24e) for selecting whether to accept or decline confession is displayed in the screen. The female character 4 (4h) who confessed will be lost if he / she inputs an action selection indicating that he / she will decline, and a love will be fulfilled if he / she will input an action selection indicating that he / she will accept. This is a rule that is common regardless of the type “Fate” or “Interference”.

  For the purpose of the game, it should be easy to clear by selecting only the event with the “faithful” female character 4 (4h) on the home screen W4. However, in the love SLG of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, when an event 3 is played with a female character 4 (4h) of “favorite”, female characters 4 (4a, 4b,. , 4g) is forcibly (automatically) triggered. That is, the obstruction event 5 which becomes an obstacle of love with the favorite must be handled.

In the present embodiment, each female character 4 is provided with a scenario that depicts the process until the romance is fulfilled. Among the plurality of events that constitute the scenario, the female character 4 and the player character 2 are An event 3 for making an appointment (for example, shopping, an appointment for lending something) and an event 3s for executing the appointment are inserted as a set.
In the latter case, the occurrence of a jamming event is permitted in advance, and the jamming event 5 is controlled to occur between an event 3 for attaching a promise and an event 3s for executing the promise.

  The disturbing event 5 may be any content that inhibits the execution of the promised action. For example, another female character 4 who witnessed where the player character 2 and the “faithful” female character 4 (4h) were together, “Where did you go? Imagine an event that will be inserted at the beginning like "I want to try it!" Then, it may be the content of dating the other female character 4 witnessed as it is. Alternatively, the event may be an event in which a car heading for a date stops moving on the way and another female character who has witnessed it appears.

  In addition, the obstructing event 5 that is forcibly generated includes an event corresponding to a normal event for the female character 4 appearing in the event. Other than the main character, the female character 4 also strikes his love in order to attract the player character 2 during the obstruction event 5. By the action selection input of the player character 2 at the obstruction event 5, the female characters 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4g) other than the favorite also increase / decrease their favorable sensitivity Pg. Then, when the favorable sensitivity Pg reaches the maximum value, a confession event 7 (7g) by the female character 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4g) occurs.

  As described above, the clearing condition of the love SLG according to the present embodiment is the fulfillment of the love with the female character 4 (4h) of “favorite”, and the confession of the female characters 4 (4a, 4b,. If it is accepted, it will fail to clear and the game will be over. Therefore, the player must refuse even if a female character 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4g) other than the favorite confesses. In other words, the female character is “shaken”.

In the love SLG of the present embodiment, this “shaking” action is an important key.
First, by waving a girl other than the favorite girl, the favorite Pg of the favorite girl character 4 (4h) is increased by an amount greater than when the event 3 is executed. As a result, the true female character 4 (4h) likes the proof of sincerity of the player who has not selected a girl other than herself, and virtually realizes a state in which love is further increased in the love SLG.
Second, the swayed female character 4 (4g) cannot be selected on the home screen W4. Also, forced activation of event 5 (corresponding to an obstruction event) with her will not occur. In other words, the female character once shaken does not appear in the subsequent game play. The act of “shaking” can remove the hindrance to fulfilling a love affair.

  However, it is not a good idea to bring a female character 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4g) other than the favorite to a confession event and shake it. Here, it is necessary to pay attention to the rules in that the player character 2 is given a parameter value of conscience durability 40, and is subtracted as “shake” in the confession event, and receives damage.

FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the relationship between conscience endurance, confession event, and ending in the present embodiment.
A conscience endurance of 40 corresponds to the ability to withstand the reprimand of a conscience who refuses to confess. Although it is initially set to 100% at the time of starting the game (see FIG. 6), when “shaking” at the confession event 7, it is reduced by a predetermined subtraction amount ΔDc (see FIG. 8 (a)). If the remaining number of conscience endurance 40 is confessed in a state where it does not satisfy the predetermined subtraction amount ΔDc, the confession cannot be refused and the romance with the female character 4 (4a) who has forcibly confessed Will be fulfilled. If the white character at that time is a female character other than the favorite character, the clearing fails (see FIG. 8B). Of course, even if the remaining number of conscience endurances is less than the subtraction amount ΔDc, if the white character is a “faithful” female character 4 (4h), the game will be cleared, resulting in a good ending effect. (See FIG. 8 (c)). In other words, it is an unprecedented romance SLG that requires exquisite romance senses, such as deleting the romance of the romance and significantly increasing the favorite girl's preference Pg while taking the risk of a decrease in conscience durability 40.

  In addition, the “shaking” action in the present embodiment also affects the type of good ending executed when the game is cleared. Specifically, the greater the number of people who have struck before reaching the confession of the “faithful” female character 4 (4h), the better ending effect is selected and executed. Therefore, the player can enjoy the game in a style aiming at clearing the game with safety measures by suppressing the action of “shaking”, or can enjoy the game in a style aiming for the best good ending production with high risk awareness.

  Next, handling of the likability Pg will be described as a more detailed explanation regarding the game progress. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining factors that affect the increase / decrease in the favorable sensitivity Pg in the present embodiment.

  The first factor is the action selection result of the player character 2 in the event play described above, and this is applied in common to any type of female character 4 of “fatal” or “disturbance”. The first factor is basically that when a choice of favorable content (“selection ○” in the example of FIG. 9) that increases the favor of the female character 4 that is the conversation partner is input, The preference Pg of the character 4 increases, and the preference Pg decreases when an option (“selection □” in the example shown in the figure) is entered to distract the opponent whose favor decreases. With these intermediate options (“selection Δ” in the example in the figure), the favorable sensitivity Pg does not change or slightly increases.

The second and third factors are the influence due to the correlation between persons, and this is also applied in common to both types of female characters 4 of “favorite” and “disturbance”.
The second factor is the influence of closeness expressed by the closeness and friendly relationship between the player character 2 and the female character 4, and the third factor is the favorableness of other female characters who are good friends It is the influence of Pg. As a mechanism for reflecting these in the game, a character correlation diagram is used in the present embodiment.

FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the character correlation diagram and the variation rate R of the preference Pg in the present embodiment, and is a diagram for explaining the second factor.
Eight female characters 4 appearing in the present embodiment, and a total of nine, including the player character 2, appear in the game. Therefore, a correlation diagram 30 is configured by preparing a matrix-like correlation diagram frame of 3 squares × 3 squares and arranging icons indicating each character on each square.

  In the correlation diagram 30, it is shown that the closer the cells arranged are, the higher the affinity is. In other words, it can be said that the closer it is, the more comfortable it is, and it is easy to react to the action of the player character 2 for better or worse. Therefore, the variation rate R of the preference Pg is described by a function f having a variable L (number of cells) from the arrangement position of the player character 2 to the arrangement position of the target female character 4.

The change rate R is a value multiplied by the basic value k0 of the change amount ΔPg of the favorableness Pg given by the result of the action selection of the player character 2 in the event, and if the change rate R is high, the same action selection is made. Also, the change in the positive sensitivity Pg becomes large.
Specifically, in this embodiment, each female character 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4h) is set with a unique initial value of variation rate r0. The variation rate R is described as a function f (r0, L) of the variation rate initial value r0 and the distance L, and the variation rate R is increased as the distance L is closer, and is set smaller as the distance L is increased. Is done.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the relationship between the character correlation diagram and the variation rate R of the preference Pg in the present embodiment, and is a diagram for explaining the third factor. When paying attention to a certain female character 4 (4h in the example of FIG. 11), it is considered that other female characters 4 adjacent to each other in the correlation diagram 30 (shaded with squares) have a particularly energetic relationship even within the group. While they are rivals of love, they are able to sense each other's feelings. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to virtually reproduce in love SLG an event that love is further increased by the influence of surroundings, or conversely atrophy, the favorable sensitivity Pg of the focused female character 4 (4h) Then, the fluctuation rate R is corrected by comparing the favorable sensitivity Pg with other adjacent female characters.

  Specifically, the size is determined by individually comparing the preference Pg of the girl character 4 (4h) of interest and the preference Pg of another girl character adjacent thereto. Then, the ratio of the number M of the adjacent female characters having a greater preference than the self to the number N of the adjacent female characters is calculated. If the calculated ratio is equal to or less than the “around influence occurrence threshold k4” specific to the female character 4 (4h), the variation rate R is set as described with reference to FIG. On the other hand, if the “around influence is greater than the occurrence threshold k4”, the fluctuation rate R is added and corrected by the “around influence coefficient k2” unique to the character.

  When the “around influence coefficient k2” is set to a positive value, the fluctuation rate R is higher than usual after correction, and the favorable sensitivity Pg is likely to change. In this case, when the female character 4 is felt to be losing compared to a good girl, the character is burned in love as to whether it is lost. On the contrary, if the “around influence coefficient k2” is set to a negative value, the fluctuation rate R is corrected so as to be lower than normal. Therefore, this female character 4 has a personality that is reluctant to love because the spirit of giving up to a friend is budding.

In the present embodiment, the arrangement of characters in the correlation diagram 30 is automatically performed before the game starts. After the game starts, the player can change at any timing by inputting a predetermined correlation diagram changing operation on the home screen W2.
For example, when a correlation diagram change operation is input, a correlation diagram screen W12 as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the first liquid crystal display 1406 or the second liquid crystal display 1408. On the correlation diagram screen W12, the current correlation diagram 30 is displayed, and a movement destination marker 32 indicating the movement destination of the player character 2 is displayed. The player moves the position of the movement destination marker 32 in the correlation diagram by a movement operation using the direction input key 1402 or a touch operation using the stylus pen 1416. When a predetermined movement execution operation is input, the arrangement relationship between the female character 4 and the player character 2 arranged at the position of the movement destination marker 32 is exchanged.

  The size of the correlation diagram 30 and the form of the squares are not limited to this, and can be set as appropriate according to the number and type of the female characters 4. Instead of a square cell, a hexagonal cell may be used, and a configuration may be adopted in which a cell is not used and is arranged as a point in an orthogonal coordinate space. In addition, the correction execution start condition and the correction method of the variation rate R according to the correlation diagram 30 are not limited to the example described here, and can be set as appropriate.

[Description of functional block]
Next, the functional configuration of this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 13 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the portable game device 1400.
The portable game device 1400 includes an operation input unit 100, a processing unit 200, a sound output unit 350, an image display unit 360, a communication unit 370, and a storage unit 500.

  The operation input unit 100 outputs an operation input signal to the processing unit 200 in accordance with various operation inputs made by the player. For example, it can be realized by a push switch, a joystick, a touch pad, a trackball, a multi-axis acceleration sensor, a tilt sensor, a gyro sensor, or the like. The direction input key 1402, the button switch 1404, the triaxial acceleration sensor 1422, and the touch panels 1407 and 1409 in FIG.

The processing unit 200 is realized by, for example, a microprocessor such as a CPU or a GPU, an electronic component such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an IC memory, and the like, and is connected to each functional unit including the operation input unit 100 and the storage unit 500. To control data input / output. Then, various arithmetic processes are executed based on predetermined programs and data, and operation input signals from the operation input unit 100 to control the operation of the portable game apparatus 1400. The control unit 1450 in FIG. 1 corresponds to the processing unit 200.
The processing unit 200 in the present embodiment includes a game calculation unit 210, a sound generation unit 250, an image generation unit 260, and a communication control unit 270.

The game calculation unit 210 executes various processes related to the execution of the love SLG.
For example, (1) processing related to display control of various game screens such as the favorite selection screen W2, home screen W4, event screens W6 and W8, (2) processing related to setting of a favorite character and generation of a correlation diagram, (3 ) Scenario play-related scenario determination, change of preference Pg of each female character 4 according to action selection input, management of time passage in the game world, timer processing, count processing, parameter value comparison calculation, various Processing related to flag management, decoding of image data such as the character image 20 and the like, and (4) decoding of moving image data for effect processing such as ending are executed. Of course, if the game space is formed by arranging objects such as background objects in a virtual three-dimensional space, processing related to rendering, object hit determination processing, NPC automatic control processing, and the like can be executed. .

  More specifically, the game calculation unit 210 includes a favorite setting unit 212, a correlation diagram management unit 214, an event control unit 220, and a confession control unit 226.

  The favorite setting unit 212 causes the player to select a character desired as a partner to be fulfilled in love from among characters that can be loved in the game before the game starts. Then, the character selected in response to the selection operation input is set as the type “favorite”, and the other is set as the type “disturbance”.

  The correlation diagram management unit 214 automatically generates a correlation diagram 30 between the characters related to the love before starting the game, and displays the correlation diagram screen W12. Further, the input of a predetermined correlation diagram changing operation is detected, and the correlation diagram 30 is changed according to the operation input of the player.

  The event control unit 220 manages event play for the character selected by the player as the conversation partner. In the present embodiment, an event switching unit 222 and a preference change unit 224 are included.

The event switching unit 222 sets the event of the female character selected as the conversation partner on the home screen W4 as an execution target. In addition, when an event with a specific character (a female character 4 (4h) selected as “faith” in the present embodiment) is executed, another character (“disturbance” female character 4 (4a in the present embodiment) is executed. , 4b,..., 4g)) are forcibly generated. In addition, the occurrence probability of the obstruction event can be changed according to the preference Pg of the specific character. Further, when a disturbance event occurs, the player can select whether to actually execute the disturbance event. Then, when it is selected not to execute, a predetermined parameter value (specifically, conscience durability 40) that is one of the criteria for changing the game progress is changed.
However, a character for which an offer (in this embodiment, “love confession”) has been refused by the player character 2 once in a confession event is excluded.

  The preference change unit 224 is a parameter value that is set for each of the characters to be offered to the player character 2 (in this embodiment, the female character 4) and is a parameter value that is referred to as a determination condition for triggering the confession event 7 corresponding to the final offer. The sensitivity Pg is managed.

Specifically, the variation rate R of the favorableness Pg of each female character 4 is determined based on the relative positional relationship with the player character 2 in the correlation diagram 30 set by the correlation diagram management unit 214.
Further, the preference Pg is changed based on the determined variation rate R according to the result of the action selection input of the player character 2 in the event play.
Further, when the favorable sensitivity Pg between the characters having a specific relationship in the correlation diagram 30 satisfies a predetermined surrounding influence occurrence condition (for example, a relationship with the surrounding influence occurrence threshold k4), the favorable feeling R is corrected. To do.
In addition, for a specific character (a female character 4 (4h) selected as “favorite”), when the other character's official offer is not established (corresponding to “shake” in the present embodiment), the specific character A bonus is given to the likability Pg of the character.
In addition, for a specific character, when an event in which another character appears is executed, the likability of the specific character is changed based on the execution result of the event. In addition, the player is notified of the change in the preference Pg using video or audio.

  The confession control unit 226 determines a character whose likability Pg satisfies a predetermined limit condition, and executes and manages a confession event 7 as a final offer by the character. In other words, a character whose likability Pg has reached a predetermined limit value is detected, and a good ending or bad ending effect is selected and controlled in accordance with whether or not the detected character is “favorite”.

  Specifically, when the final offer character is a character that has been set to “favorite” in the favorite setting unit 212, the number of other characters for which no formal offer has been established so far (to this point in the present embodiment) Depending on the number of people who were waved, a good ending with a different performance level is selected and executed.

  Also, the confession control unit 226 reduces the conscience endurance 40 of the player character 2 when the player makes an operation input for refusing the final offer, instead of the character for which the final offer is “favorite” set. However, if there are a plurality of characters qualified for the final offer at the same time, the final offer is made by the plurality of characters, and the subtraction amount ΔDc of the conscience durability 40 is one unit even if there are a plurality of rejected persons.

  In addition, the confession control unit 226 executes bad ending as a clear failure effect when the player inputs an operation to accept the final offer, even though the final offer character is not a “favorite” character. , Managing the bad ending production.

  The sound generation unit 250 is realized by, for example, a digital signal processor (DSP), a processor such as a voice synthesis IC, an audio codec that can play back an audio file, and the like. BGM and sound signals of various operation sounds are generated and output to the sound output unit 350.

  The sound output unit 350 is realized by a device that outputs sound effects, BGM, and the like based on the sound signal input from the sound generation unit 250. The speaker 1410 in FIG. 1 corresponds to this.

  The image generation unit 260 is realized by, for example, a processor such as a GPU or a digital signal processor (DSP), a program such as a video signal IC or a video codec, an IC memory for a drawing frame such as a frame buffer, or the like. The image generation unit 260 generates one game screen in one frame time (for example, 1/60 seconds) based on the processing result by the game calculation unit 210, and outputs an image signal of the generated game screen to the image display unit 360. To do.

The image display unit 360 displays various game images based on the image signal input from the image generation unit 260. For example, it can be realized by an image display device such as a flat panel display, a cathode ray tube (CRT), a projector, or a head mounted display.
In the present embodiment, the first liquid crystal display 1406 and the second liquid crystal display 1408 in FIG.

  The communication control unit 270 executes data processing related to data communication, and realizes data exchange with an external device via the communication unit 370.

  The communication unit 370 is connected to the communication line 1 to realize communication. For example, it is realized by a wireless communication device, a modem, a TA (terminal adapter), a cable communication cable jack, a control circuit, and the like, and the wireless communication module 1412 of FIG. 1 corresponds to this. In this embodiment, communication connection can be established in an ad hoc mode with another device (for example, another portable game device) that is within a wireless communicable distance.

  The storage unit 500 stores a system program for realizing various functions for causing the processing unit 200 to control the portable game device 1400 in an integrated manner, a program necessary for game play, various data, and the like. The storage unit 500 is used as a work area of the processing unit 200, and temporarily stores calculation results executed by the processing unit 200 according to various programs, input data input from the operation input unit 100, and the like. Such a function is realized by, for example, an IC memory such as a RAM or a ROM, a magnetic disk such as a hard disk, or an optical disk such as a CD-ROM or DVD. This corresponds to an IC memory or a memory card 1440 mounted on the control unit 1450 of FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the storage unit 500 stores a system program 501 and a game program 502. The system program 501 is a program for realizing basic functions of input / output as a computer of the portable game apparatus 1400. The game program 502 is application software for realizing the function as the game calculation unit 210 by being read and executed by the processing unit 200, but may be configured as a part of the system program 501.

Further, the storage unit 500 stores in advance the favorite selection screen setting data 504, the home screen setting data 506, the correlation diagram screen setting data 508, the character initial setting data 510, and the bad ending setting data 564. Further, as the game progresses, information such as play data 570, various timers, counters, and flags is temporarily stored.
The data to be stored in advance is not necessarily fixed, and can be added / updated by connecting to a predetermined server device via the communication line 1 in the same manner as a known video game with an update function. It may be configured.

  The favorite selection screen setting data 504, home screen setting data 506, and correlation diagram screen setting data 508 store data serving as a basis for displaying the favorite selection screen W2, the home screen W4, and the correlation diagram screen W12, respectively. For example, title data, display frames, icons, material data such as frames of correlation diagrams, settings of display position coordinates, and the like are stored.

One set of character initial setting data 510 is prepared for each female character 4, initial setting values related to each female character, data for executing event play with the female character, and for performing an ending effect. Stores data etc.
For example, as shown in FIG. 14, one character initial setting data 510 includes a character ID 512, a character name 514, icon data 516, a type variation rate initial value r0 (518), and a surrounding influence occurrence threshold k4. (520), surrounding influence coefficient k2 (522), scenario data 530, good ending selection TBL566, and moving image data library 568.

In the present embodiment, since the female character 4 is regarded as an actual entertainer, the character name 514 is the name of an existing female entertainer who is a member of an existing female entertainer group, or the name of a predetermined role that the female entertainer deceived. To do.
For the same reason, the icon data 516 is created based on a face photograph of a female entertainer who actually exists or a face photograph of the female entertainer dressed as a predetermined role.

The type variation rate initial value r0 (518) defines a value serving as a basis for calculating the favorable rate of variation R. In the present embodiment, a first value that is applied when the corresponding character is set to the type “favorite” and a second value that is applied when the corresponding character is set to the type “disturbance” are set. . Basically, the first value is set to be smaller than the second value.
Note that the type variation rate initial value r0 (518) may be provided for each game difficulty level when the player can select the difficulty level before starting the game.

  The surrounding influence occurrence threshold k4 (520) defines a numerical value for determining whether or not to correct the favorable character Pg of the corresponding character based on the positive character Pg of the other character having a specific relationship with the corresponding character. To do. In the present embodiment, another female character arranged adjacent to the corresponding female character 4 in the correlation diagram 30 is set as another character having a specific relationship. The surrounding influence occurrence threshold value k4 (520) is defined as a threshold value for determining the ratio between the number of other characters with a specific relationship having a higher preference Pg than the corresponding female character 4 and the number of other characters with a specific relationship. Is done.

  The surrounding influence coefficient k2 (522) defines a correction amount in the case of correcting the favorable sensitivity Pg.

  The scenario data 530 is data that defines the story of the twists and turns to the fulfillment of the romance with the corresponding female character 4 as a continuation of a tree structure (branch structure) of a plurality of events. This is the core data for event play.

  In the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, event generation order data 531, interference occurrence permission event list 532, a plurality of event data 534, single confession event data 560, and joint confession event data 562 are included. .

The event occurrence order data 531 is data that defines the order of events to be triggered in a tree structure.
The disturbance occurrence permission event list 532 is data that is referred to when the corresponding female character 4 is selected as “favorite”, and includes the disturbance event by the female character of the type “jamming” before the event is executed. Stores identification information of a special event that is permitted to occur (an event for exchanging a promise at the immediately preceding event and executing the promise, etc .; corresponding to event 3s in FIG. 6). Basically, the player character 2 and the female character 4 attach the promise with the time condition in the game world time at the last event, and the event registered in the list is the promised event. The content is drawn. That is, it is set so that the interference event 5 (see FIG. 6) occurs at an exquisite timing. Of course, an event without an appointment may be registered as appropriate.

  Data for realizing individual event play is divided into a plurality of event data 534 related to an event before confession, a single confession event data 560, and joint confession event data 562.

  One event data 534 stores an event number 536 as event identification information and a plurality of scene data 538. That is, one event is configured as a continuous tree-like sequence of a plurality of scenes.

  Since the event of this embodiment is realized in a command selection format, one scene data 538 includes a scene number 540, timeline setting data 542, a plurality of text data 544, and a plurality of character image data 546. Including. Further, when the scene corresponds to a scenario branch point and action selection input of the player character 2 is required, action selection setting data 550 is further included.

  The text data 544 defines text to be displayed on the text display unit 22 (see FIG. 5) such as dialogue (including monologue) and situation explanations of the female character 4 appearing in the event. The character image data 546 defines the character image 20 (see FIG. 5) of the female character 4 displayed in conjunction with these texts. As described above, since the female character 4 according to the present embodiment is regarded as an actual entertainer, the image stored in the character image data 546 is created based on live-action images of various gestures of the entertainer.

  Then, control information for determining how to display the text data 544 and the character image data 546, which is displayed at what timing and how to move, is defined in the timeline setting data 542.

The action selection setting data 550 specifies an option type 554, a basic value k0 (556), and a branch destination 558 for each action option 552 of the player character 2.
The basic value k0 (556) is a basic value of the amount by which the preference Pg of the female character 4 of the conversation partner is changed when the corresponding option is selected by the player. In the present embodiment, the preference change amount ΔPg is calculated by multiplying the basic value k0 by the variation rate R.
The branch destination 558 specifies a scene to move next in the same event.

The single confession event data 560 is dedicated event data for creating a situation in which the corresponding female character 4 confesses to the player character 2 alone.
On the other hand, the joint confession event data 562 is dedicated event data for creating a situation in which a corresponding female character confesses with another female character at the same time (simultaneously or almost continuously, although there is a time difference). For example, you may know that another female character confesses, and if you confess, you can interrupt the situation with a line saying "I can't lose!", Or call after another female character confesses Or the situation which confesses by mail may be sufficient.

  Bad ending setting data 564 (see FIG. 13) stores data for realizing a failure effect executed when a game clear error occurs. In the present embodiment, when the player arbitrarily selects one of the female characters 4 from “Five” and accepts the confession of the female character 4 other than the favorite, a clear mistake occurs. Therefore, for each of the eight female characters 4, it is preferable to prepare eight types of situation endings that start to associate with the player character 2 in a casual manner. In addition, it is advisable to prepare an ending according to the clear mistake conditions assumed in the game development, such as situations that could not be associated with any female character 4 or situations that mistakenly refused confession of the favorite female character 4 . Then, when executing the bad ending effect, it is assumed that the ending that meets the conditions at that time is selected and executed by the processing unit 200.

  The play data 570 stores various data indicating the progress status of the current game play. For example, conscience endurance 572, correlation data 574 for defining correlation diagram 30, girl status data 576, event control data 578, shake occurrence flag 580, swing counter 582, confession execution character list 584 Including.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the correlation data 574 identifies the position of each cell in the correlation diagram 30 by XY orthogonal coordinates, and character identification information (character icons are shown in FIG. 16) arranged there. ) Are stored in association with each other.

  The female status data 576 stores parameter values associated with each female character 4. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, in association with the character ID 576a, the type flag 576b, the favorable sensitivity Pg (576c), the fluctuation rate R (576d), the conversation partner flag 576e, the shake flag 576f, the scenario progress data 576g, the heart rate Pb (576h) and the like are stored.

  The type flag 576b indicates that “1” is the type “favorite”, and “0” indicates that the type is “disturbance”, that is, other than the favorite.

  The initial value of the dialogue partner flag 576e at the beginning of the game is all “0”. When the player selects as a conversation partner on the home screen W4 or when the conversation partner is automatically changed due to the forcible occurrence of the obstruction event 5, the flag of the conversation partner character is set to “1”. Set to “0”.

  The shake flag 576f indicates whether the character has been confessed and shaken. The initial values at the beginning of the game are all “0 (not yet waved)”, and are set to “1 (wasled)” when refused at the confession event.

  The scenario progress data 576g stores information indicating how far the scenario related to the corresponding character has progressed. For example, the identification information of the event to be executed next is stored.

The initial value of the trauma degree 576h is randomly set from a predetermined range (for example, 0 to −15) at the start of the game, and the player has the option type 554 (see FIG. 15) set to “distant” in the event. Each time the selection is made, the change amount ΔPg of the favorableness Pg is integrated.
In addition, in the female status data 576, other unique parameter values associated with each female character 4 can be appropriately stored.

  The event control data 578 stores various information such as various timer values, count values, flags, texture data necessary for event execution.

  The shake occurrence flag 580 is a flag set for each female character, and a confession event is triggered in relation to the event being executed and the selection to refuse the confession is made. "" The initial value is set to “0” at the start of the event play, and “1” is set when an action selection for refusing the confession event is input.

  The swing counter 582 indicates how many girls have been swung from the start of the game to the present. The initial value at the start of the game is “0”, and when an action selection for refusing at the confession event is input, the number of persons confessed at the confession event is added. That is, when the female character 4 confesses alone, “1” is added, and when a plurality of female characters 4 confess at the same time, the number corresponding to that number is added.

The confession execution character list 584 registers identification information of characters to confess.
Specifically, once cleared at the start of the event, if the likability Pg of the dialogue partner's female character 4 satisfies a predetermined limit condition during the event play, the identification information of the female character 4 is stored. At that time, if the favorable sensitivity Pg of the other female character 4 also satisfies a predetermined limit condition, the identification information of the corresponding other female character 4 is also stored. When a confession event is triggered in association with the event being executed, the female character 4 registered in the confession execution character list 584 becomes a confession white. If the confession execution character list 584 is alone, the confession event is executed according to the single confession event data 560 of the female character 4 of the conversation partner, and if there is more than one, the confession event is executed according to the joint confession event data 562. .

[Description of process flow]
Next, a processing flow of the portable game apparatus 1400 will be described. A series of processing described here is realized by executing the game program 502 in an environment in which the processing unit 200 executes the system program 501. It should be noted that the generation and display control of the game screen and the generation and sound output control of the game sound are realized in the same manner as a known video game, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  18 to 19 are flowcharts for explaining the main processing flow. First, the processing unit 200 controls display of a favorite selection screen W2 for allowing the player to select a female character 4 to be “favorite” (step S2; see FIG. 3).

  On the favorite selection screen W2, the player moves the selection marker 8 to the position of the icon 6 of the female character 4 desired as a partner to fulfill the love and inputs a predetermined selection determination operation. When such a selection operation input is detected (step S4), the processing unit 200 sets the female status type so that the type of the selected female character is “favorite” and the type of other female characters is “disturbance”. A type flag 576b of 576 is set (step S6; see FIG. 17).

  Next, the processing unit 200 automatically generates correlation data 574 (step S8). Specifically, the player character 2 and the eight female characters 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4h) are randomly arranged on any square in the correlation diagram 30 composed of 3 squares × 3 squares. Thus, the initial state of closeness between the player character 2 and the eight female characters 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4h) in the current love SLG is determined.

  Next, the processing unit 200 calculates and determines the rate of change R of all the female characters 4 based on the generated correlation diagram 30 (step S10). Specifically, for each female character 4, the distance L (the unit is the number of squares) from the arrangement square of the player character 2 to the arrangement square of each female character 4 is counted in the correlation diagram 30. Furthermore, the type variation rate initial value r0 (518) that matches the setting of the current type 576b of the female character 4 is referred to from the character initial setting data 510 of each female character 4, and a predetermined calculation function f (r0, L) is used. It is calculated and stored in the fluctuation rate R (576d) of the girl status data 576 (see FIGS. 10, 14, and 17).

  If the game is started (step S20), the processing unit 200 first displays the home screen W4 (step S22). The home screen W4 also serves as a dialog partner selection screen. Therefore, when the home screen W4 is displayed, the shake flag 576f of the girl status data 576 is referred to so that only the conversation partner selection icon 12 of the girl character 4 that has not been shaken is displayed (FIG. 4, FIG. 4). FIG. 17). In other words, the female character once shaken does not appear in the subsequent game play.

  If a correlation diagram change operation input is detected while the home screen W4 is displayed (YES in step S24), the processing unit 200 executes a correlation diagram change process (step S26).

FIG. 20 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the correlation diagram changing process in the present embodiment.
In this process, the processing unit 200 first displays the correlation diagram screen W12 (step S30; see FIG. 12). When a movement operation of the player character icon is detected in the state where the correlation diagram screen W12 is displayed (YES in step S32), the player character is already placed at the placement position and the destination according to the movement operation. The correlation data 574 is changed so as to replace the female character (step S34).

  Then, the change rate R is reset as in step S10 so that the changed situation of the correlation diagram 30 is reflected in the change rate R of each female character 4 (step S36), and the display of the correlation diagram 30 is updated. (Step S38). If a return operation input to a predetermined home screen W4 is detected on the correlation diagram screen W12 (YES in step S40), the processing unit 200 ends the correlation diagram change processing and returns to the flowchart of FIG. 18, and step S22. The home screen W4 is displayed again.

  Next, when the selection operation input of the conversation partner is performed on the home screen W4 (step S46), the processing unit 200 reads the scenario data 530 from the character initial setting data 510 of the female character 4 selected as the conversation partner ( In step S48, the event play is started / restarted from the point indicated by the scenario progress data 576g of the female character selected as the dialogue partner in the female status data 576 (step S50). If the conversation is for the first time with the female character 4 of the conversation partner, the play starts from the first event, and if the conversation has already been performed once, the play starts from the event following the previous event.

  At the branch points provided in various places in the scenario, the action selection input of the player character 2 (player) is required. When event play progresses and an action selection input is detected in a scene that becomes a branch point (YES in step S52), the processing unit 200 executes a preference change process for the conversation partner (step S54).

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the preference change process of the conversation partner in the present embodiment. In this processing, the processing unit 200 firstly has a basis corresponding to the type of action selection input of the player character 2 detected previously from the action selection setting data 550 of the scene data 538 of the scene currently being executed (see FIG. 15). Reference is made to the value k0 (556) (step S110).

  Next, the variation rate R (576d) of the female character of the conversation partner is referred to from the female status data 576 (step S112), and the likability change amount ΔPg is calculated according to a predetermined calculation formula (step S114). In the present embodiment, the likability change amount ΔPg is the product of the basic value k0 and the fluctuation rate R, but may be calculated by other relationships.

Once the favorable rate variation ΔPg is calculated, the value is then added to the favorable rate Pg of the conversation partner to change the positive rate Pg (576c) of the corresponding female status data 576 (step S116).
Here, if the calculated favorable change amount ΔPg is a negative value (YES in step S118), the processing unit 200 uses the calculated positive change amount ΔPg as the trauma degree Pb (576h) of the corresponding female status data 576. ) Is accumulated / updated (step S120), and the conversation partner's liking change processing is terminated.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 18, the processing unit 200 next executes “around influence processing” (step S122).

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the influence process in the present embodiment. This process is a process for virtually reproducing, in the love SLG, an event that a change in the preference Pg of the dialogue partner's female character 4 affects other female characters 4.

  Specifically, the processing unit 200 first extracts other female characters 4 arranged adjacent to the dialogue partner female character 4 in the correlation diagram 30 as targets to be affected (step S130). For example, in the example of FIG. 11, if the female character 4 (4h) is a conversation partner, the four female characters 4e, 4g, 4f, 4b, and 4d adjacent to this are extracted. The extraction method is not limited to this, and it may be all female characters other than the conversation partner, or all female characters of the type “disturbance” that have not yet been shaken may be extracted. It can be set as appropriate according to the number of female characters to be played.

  If the affected character is extracted, the loop A is executed for all the extracted female characters 4 (steps S132 to S144).

  In loop A, first, a female character 4 adjacent to the female character 4 to be processed in loop A in the correlation diagram 30 is extracted as a comparison target, and the number N of extraction is temporarily stored (step S134). For example, in the example of FIG. 11, if the processing target is the female character 4b among the female characters 4e, 4g, 4f, 4b, and 4d adjacent to the conversation partner, the comparison target is the female character 4a, 4c, 4f, 4b and 4d.

  Next, the processing unit 200 counts the number M of characters having a greater preference Pg than the female character to be processed among the female characters extracted as the comparison target (step S136).

If the value of “M / N” exceeds the “surrounding influence occurrence threshold k4 (520; see FIG. 14)” specific to the female character 4 to be processed (YES in step S138), the processing unit 200 The female character 4 to be processed updates the variation rate R (576d) so that the “around influence coefficient k2 (522; see FIG. 14)” specific to the female character to be processed is added (step S140), loop A is terminated (step S144).
In other words, for the female character 4 to be processed, the fact that the friendship Pg is losing to a girl who is closer than expected, and the event that the attitude desired for love is changed is virtually realized in the love SLG. be able to.

  The “around influence coefficient k2” that is referred to when correcting the fluctuation rate R indicates how to change the posture desired for love. A positive value is set for a winning daughter, and a negative value is set for a weak daughter. The new variation rate R of the former is slightly larger than the standard variation rate R, and in the latter case, it is slightly smaller than the standard. That is, even when the favorable sensitivity Pg changes due to an event or the like, the former is more likely to increase or decrease more violently, and the latter is less likely to change. Therefore, it is hypothesized that the girls to be processed are influenced by the surroundings and become motivated to become more positively favored by the player character, or on the contrary, to atrophy and lack of excitement. Will be reproduced.

On the other hand, if the value of “M / N” does not exceed the “surrounding influence occurrence threshold k4” (NO in step S138), the variation rate R is maintained as before (step S142), and loop A is terminated (step S142). S144).
If the loop A is executed for all the female characters extracted in step S130, the surrounding influence process is terminated.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 18, the processing unit 200 next executes confession generation processing (step S146).

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of confession generation processing in the present embodiment. This process is a process of determining the female character 4 whose likability Pg satisfies the limit condition, that is, the feeling that the feeling is sufficiently high, performing a confession event, and performing parameter change or ending according to the result of the confession. is there.

  Specifically, in the same processing, the processing unit 200 first initializes the shake generation flag 580 to “0 (no generation)”, clears the confession execution character list 584, and initializes it to a state of no registration (step) S160; see FIG. Then, it is determined whether the preference Pg of the female character that is currently the conversation partner has reached a predetermined upper limit value corresponding to the confession occurrence reference value (limit condition) (step S162).

  If the preference Pg of the dialogue partner girl character 4 has not reached the upper limit (NO in step S162), the confession generation process is terminated as it is, and the event currently being executed is continued.

  If the preference Pg of the female character 4 that is the conversation partner has reached the upper limit (YES in step S162), and the female character 4 of the conversation partner is not “favorite” (“disturbance” in step S164) The processing unit 200 registers the dialogue partner female character 4 in the confession execution character list 584 (step S166).

  Next, the processing unit 200 determines whether the conscience durability 572 (see FIG. 11) of the player character has reached a predetermined limit value. In the present embodiment, when the conscience endurance 572 is “0”, or when the remaining value of the conscience endurance 572 is less than the subtraction amount ΔDc per conscience endurance 572 performed in a later step. Determine that the limit has been reached.

If the limit has not been reached (NO in step S168), a confession can be received and the player can reply to the love confession.
For this purpose, the processing unit 200 determines whether or not there is a female character 4 other than the favorite one whose likability Pg has reached the upper limit (step S170). Then, the corresponding person is additionally registered in the confession execution character list 584 (YES in step S170 → step S172), and a confession event by the female character registered in the list is executed (step S174).

  When a confession event is executed, if a plurality of confession characters are registered in the confession execution character list 584, the female characters other than the conversation partner execute the event according to the single confession event data 560 and then the joint confession of other female characters. The event is executed according to the event data 562. As the latter, for example, a situation in which a female character who is a conversation partner wants to confess, and the other female character interrupts the confession, "If you want to be me!" Alternatively, the joint confession event data 562 may be a situation event in which a plurality of girls are responded collectively.

In the confession event, the player selects and inputs a response to the confession.
When the result of the reply selection input is to accept the partner's favor (“accept” in step S176), the player character 2 consequently has the “faithful” female character 4 (4h) set by the player before the game. Since the confession of another female character is accepted, the processing unit 200 executes a bad ending effect and sets the game over (step S178).

  On the other hand, if the result of the response selection input to the confession corresponds to declining (“reject” in step S176), the processing unit 200 from all the video data libraries 568 for all the female characters 4 confessed this time. The confession failure moving image data 569a is read out and reproduced as an effect of confession failure (step S180; see FIG. 14).

  If the production of the confession failure is completed, the processing unit 200 next sets the waving flag 576f of all the female characters 4 confessed this time to “1 (was already finished)” (step S182; see FIG. 17). Then, the number of female characters who have failed to confess this time is added to the swing counter 582 (step S184; see FIG. 13).

  Next, the processing unit 200 adds a predetermined value to the favorableness Pg of the female character 4 (4h) of the type “real” (step S186). As a result, the “favorite” female character 4 (4h) likes the fact that the player character 2 properly shakes a girl other than the favorite to establish a proof of love. It is reproduced.

Then, the processing unit 200 subtracts a predetermined subtraction amount ΔDc from the conscience durability 572 (step S188), and ends the confession generation process. This subtraction of conscience endurance 572 shows that the confessor is not a “faithful” girl, but a conscience revenge for refusing the confession of love arises and casts a shadow on the subsequent love Reproduce virtually with love SLG.
What should be noted here is that the conscience endurance 572 is reduced only by one unit of subtraction amount ΔDc regardless of the number of girls who appeared in the confession event in relation to this event execution. In other words, if the event with the female character 4 other than the favorite character 4 is managed so that the favorable sensitivity Pg of the female character 4 other than the favorite character reaches the limit value at the same timing, the damage is less effective. It is possible to remove the romance disorder with the favorite.

  If the confession is received with the conscience durability level 572 reaching the limit (YES in step S168), the processing unit 200 executes a bad ending effect and sets the game over (step S178).

  Specifically, for example, as in the confession event when the conscience endurance 572 has not reached the limit, it has a layout for displaying a command guide of “accept” and “decline” on the game screen, but “decline” Even if the player selects and operates the option, if you insert the screen such as “Oh, I can't hurt anymore ...” and then continue to produce the same effect as selecting the “Accept” option Is preferred. Alternatively, the layout may be such that the “reject” option cannot be selected in the first place, such as not displaying the “accept” option.

  As a result, if the opponent who confessed is not `` faith '' if it is true, I would like to refuse confession, but my conscience durability has reached the limit, I can not stand to hurt the opponent by refusing confession, The situation that inevitably accepts confession can be virtually reproduced with love SLG.

  On the other hand, if the female character 4 that is the conversation partner whose likability Pg has reached the upper limit is “favorite” (“favorite” in step S164), the processing unit 200 determines that the girl character 4 (4h) of “favorite” ) Confession event (the option is only to accept confession) (step S190).

  Then, referring to the good ending selection TBL 566 of the character initial setting data 510 of the “favorite” female character 4 (4h), the type of good ending is selected according to the value of the swing counter 582 (step S192; see FIG. 14). ), The selected good ending movie data is read from the movie data library 568, and is reproduced as a game clear effect (step S194), and the game is ended.

  On the other hand, if the confession generation process does not lead to the ending due to the fact that the preference Pg of the female character 4 of the conversation partner does not reach the upper limit in the first place, the processing unit 200 returns to the flowchart of FIG. Until the middle event ends (NO in step S260), steps S50 to S146 are repeated.

  If the event being executed has ended (YES in step S260), the processing unit 200 determines whether or not there is an unexecuted event with the female character 4 who is currently the conversation partner, by moving to the flowchart of FIG. If an unexecuted event remains (YES in step S262), the processing unit 200 next refers to the heart rate Pb of the female character 4 as the conversation partner. If the degree of trauma Pb has not reached the predetermined limit value (NO in step S263), the identification information of the next event specified in the event occurrence order data 531 (see FIG. 15) is used as the scenario progress data 576g (FIG. 17). (Refer to step S264).

  Next, the processing unit 200 determines the type of the female character 4 that is currently the conversation partner. If the type is “disturbance” (“disturbance” in step S266), the process returns to step S22 (see FIG. 18). Since the home screen W4 is displayed again in step S22, the player can select the event play with the “favorite” female character 4 (4h), or aim for joint confession by a plurality of girls, and another “disturbance” Event play with the female character 4 (4a, 4b,..., 4g) can be selected.

  On the other hand, the type of the conversation partner is “favorite” (“favorite” in step S266), but the next event specified in the event occurrence order data 531 may not be registered in the disturbance occurrence permission event list 562 ( NO in step S268), the process returns to step S22.

  Even if the next event is permitted to cause interference (YES in step S268), a lottery process for realizing a predetermined winning probability is executed, and the result of the lottery is “no occurrence” (“No” in step S280). The same applies to the case of “No occurrence”).

  Here, the winning probability is set such that the probability of occurrence increases as the current favorable sensitivity Pg of the “favorite” female character 4 (4h) increases. As a result, if the relationship between the player character 2 and the “favorite” female character 4 (4h) is “good”, the jamming event 5 is positively generated to excite the game. be able to. Of course, the winning probability may be the inverse relationship or may be constant depending on the game content.

If the next event is permitted to cause interference, and the lottery process wins interference (“occurrence” in step S280), the processing unit 200 is not yet shaken with the type “interference”. It is determined whether the female character 4 exists.
If there is a corresponding female character (YES in step S282), one of the female characters not yet shaken by the type “disturbance” is drawn (step S284), and the conversation partner is selected. It changes to the girl character selected by lottery (step S290), and transfers to step S48 (refer FIG. 18).
Note that the winning probability in the lottery in step S284 may be determined based on the positional relationship between the dialogue partner female character 4 and the lottery target female character in the correlation diagram 30. For example, in the correlation diagram 30, it is preferable to make the winning probability relatively higher as the distance L is smaller, and lower as the distance is further away.

  That is, if the female character of the conversation partner is the “favorite” female character 4 (4h) in steps S266 to S290, the female character 4 (4a, 4b,. Will be forcibly switched to this event. That is, a failure event 5 for fulfilling a love with a favorite girl occurs (see FIG. 6).

  On the other hand, when the unexecuted event disappears for the female character 4 who is the current conversation partner in step S262 while the game is progressing (NO in step S262), An effect of voluntarily giving up the romance for the player character is executed by playing the spontaneous praise moving image data 569b (see FIG. 14) by the female character 4 (step S300).

  Even when it is determined in step S263 that the trauma degree Pb of the dialogue partner's female character 4 has reached a predetermined limit value (YES in step S263), the spontaneous praise moving image data 569b is similarly reproduced. .

  Then, the processing unit 200 changes the swing flag 576f of the female character to “1 (already swung)” (step S302), and then determines whether all the female characters are swung.

  If there is still a female character 4 that has not been shaken (YES in step S304), one of the remaining female characters 4 that has not been shaken is drawn (step S306), and the conversation partner is selected. It changes to the female character 4 selected by the said lottery (step S308), and transfers to step S48.

  If all the female characters have been shaken (NO in step S304), a game over process such as displaying a love failure is executed (step S310), and the series of processes ends.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the fulfillment of the love with the opposite sex of the “favorite” is a good ending, and the love fulfillment with the opposite sex other than the favorite is achieved, an effect that is clearly separated from the bad ending is made. Therefore, for example, you can experience some kind of bitterness related to love, such as “I'm happy but a little sorry”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the damage received by the conscience associated with the action of “refusing confession”, that is, “shaking” is represented by a decrease in the conscience durability 40, 572 of the player character 2. When the conscience durability 40 is low enough to become “0” when the next damage is received, it is configured that a female character other than the main character cannot shake and accepts a confession. Therefore, you can experience the risk of waving and the bitterness of romance that you will experience as a result of romance that is a little different from the original intention that you will be tired of.

  From another point of view, the player character 2 who is in a privileged situation who is being loved by multiple opponents has the risk of hurting other players by swaying them, but suffers from a love affair with the aim of fulfilling a love affair with a favorite partner. It can be said that a new love SLG can be realized.

  In addition, in a one-to-many situation where a plurality of opposite sexes favor one person, “wasted” and “doesn't shake” affect the actions of those in rivalry. This is realized by the fluctuation of the fluctuation rate R of the favorable sensitivity Pg accompanying the influence. Therefore, a love pattern between rivals in a Harlem situation is included in the game, making the game more interesting.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. This embodiment is basically realized in the same manner as the first embodiment, except that a configuration for reflecting the player's own profile in the game is included. In addition, the same code | symbol is provided about the component similar to 1st Embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted and it shall mainly describe the difference with 1st Embodiment here.

In the present embodiment, the game calculation unit 210 of the processing unit 200 executes a step of inputting the player's own real profile before starting the game. For example, a profile setting screen W18 as shown in FIG. 24 is displayed on the favorite selection screen W2. Displayed back and forth. On the profile setting screen W18, for example, items of contents that appear when a profile is described in relation to so-called gender dating such as a player's birthplace input field 50, a hobby input field 52, a favorite animal input field 54, and the like. Includes a field to enter.
Of course, the contents set in the input field can be added to other fields such as a favorite music field, food preference, etc., or vice versa.
Then, the input results of each field input on the profile setting screen W18 are stored as player profile data 586 in the play data 570 as shown in FIG.

  The contents input in the various input fields of the profile setting screen W18 are also set in advance for all the female characters 4, and as shown in FIG. 26, the first implementation is performed as the profile setting data 526 in the character initial setting data 510. It is stored together with various data included in the setting data in the form.

In the present embodiment, when generating the correlation data, first, the setting of the player's profile and the setting of the profile of the female character 4 are compared, and the higher the score, the higher the common points. “Similarity Ps” is calculated.
The calculated suitability degree is stored in the suitability degree registration data 588 in the play data 570 in association with the character ID of the female character 4 as shown in FIG.

FIG. 27 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the correlation data automatic generation processing in the present embodiment, and is executed instead of step S8 in the first embodiment.
In this process, the processing unit 200 first calculates the “appearance degree Ps” for each female character 4 and registers it as the suitability degree registration data 588 (step S330).

  Specifically, for example, the hobby item is compared among the setting items of the profile of the player and the profile of the female character 4 to be calculated, and the number of matches t1 is calculated. Then, the basic value is obtained by a function g (t1) in which the calculated value increases as the number of matches t1 increases. The degree of suitability Ps is calculated by multiplying this by a coefficient t2 that is set larger than when the place of origin is the same, and a coefficient t3 that is set higher when the favorite animal matches and is set lower when the favorite animal matches. In short, the more common the number of profile items, the higher the value. Of course, other calculation formulas may be used.

  Next, the processing unit 200 calculates a predetermined statistical value (for example, an average value, a maximum value, a median value, or the like can be selected as appropriate) from the calculated suitability Ps of all the female characters 4, and based on the calculated statistical value. The arrangement position of the player in the correlation diagram 30 is determined (step S332).

  Specifically, for example, a threshold t4 that is regarded as having a low degree of suitability Ps and a threshold t5 that is regarded as being high are set in advance. Then, (1) if the maximum value Psmax of the calculated suitability Ps of all the female characters 4 is equal to or less than the threshold value t4, it is placed at any one of the four corners of the correlation diagram 30, and (2) the maximum value Psmax is If it is between threshold value t4 and threshold value t5, it is arranged in the middle of the outer edge. (3) If the maximum value Psmax is equal to or greater than threshold value t5, it is arranged in the center.

  Next, the processing unit 200 ranks the female characters 4 in descending order of the calculated degree of matching Ps (step S334), and the correlation diagram 30 of each female character 4 is arranged so that the higher ranking is closer to the player's placement position. The arrangement position at is determined (step S336).

  Specifically, for example, in the case of the order shown in FIG. 28A, the player character 2 is sequentially arranged in the order from the first place to the placement cell with the smaller distance L (the number of cells required for movement). Deploy. For example, it arrange | positions like FIG.28 (b). By generating the correlation diagram 30 in this way, the more similar the preferences of the player and each female character 4 are, the closer to each other, which influences the progress of the game through the setting of the variation rate R. give.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 29, instead of step S188 of the confession generation process (FIG. 23) of the first embodiment, the confession is performed when the conscience durability 40 of the player character 2 is subtracted. The step of calculating the subtraction amount ΔDc so that the higher the degree of suitability Ps of the female character 4 who refuses to be higher (step S187a), and the step of subtracting the calculated subtraction amount ΔDc from the conscience endurance 40 (step S187b). ).

By reducing the amount of conscience endurance 40 by the amount corresponding to the degree of suitability Ps of the girl, the degree of suitability Ps with the girl who swung from the degree of decrease in conscience endurance 40 I can almost feel it.
As a result, the player witnessed that the decrease in conscience durability 40 was large and regretted that “I should have made her a favorite ...” or because there is little decrease, “Okay! It was a correct answer without having to do it, "he said, deepening his confidence and being able to virtually enjoy various emotions in love SLGs that are perfect for situations where he chooses his favorite from the harem state.

In this regard, more preferably, a plurality of types of confession failure moving image data 569a (see FIG. 26) are prepared in accordance with the degree of matching Ps, and the moving image data to be reproduced in step S180 is the matching of the confessed female character. It may be selected according to the degree Ps.
For example, a video selected when the degree of suitability Ps is low draws a scene that spills “I think the taste was too different ...”, and a video selected when the degree of suitability Ps is high is I thought, “God is cruel…” and draw a scene that regrets. Then, since the various feelings as described above are not inferred from the decrease in conscience durability 40, but can be easily felt by looking at the confession failure video, the interest of the game can be enhanced. .

[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. This embodiment is basically realized in the same manner as in the first or second embodiment, except that a female character selection method for executing a confession and a case where a “confused” female character is “shaken” in a confession event. This is different from the method of changing the preference Pg of the “favorite” female character 4 (4h). The same components as those in the first and second embodiments are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. Here, the difference from the first embodiment is mainly described based on the first embodiment. To do.

  FIG. 31 is a functional block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example according to the present embodiment. The storage unit 500 of the present embodiment includes preference value change amount basic value setting data 524 of the character initial setting data 510. Further, the game data includes game confession execution character selection condition data 565, and game world time (game world date and time) 587 for storing the date and time in the game world in the play data 570.

The preference change amount basic value setting data 524 is data that is applied when the character is of the type “favorite”. Depending on the result of action selection in an event with a female character other than the character, the “ A special basic value k5 for calculating the change amount ΔPg for changing the favorable sensitivity Pg of the “favorite” female character 4 (4h) is defined.
For example, as shown in FIG. 32, a basic value k5 (524b) is stored for each option type 524a corresponding to the type of action option type 554 in the action selection setting data 550 (see FIG. 15). The basic value k5 is set separately for the case where the preference Pg of the female character has reached a predetermined threshold L and the case where it has been reached. The threshold value L corresponds to a threshold value indicating whether or not the player character 2 is in love so much as the love is shaken by the action result of the player character 2. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the former is set to have a smaller value than the latter.

Confession execution character selection condition data 565 defines conditions for selecting a confession execution character in the confession process.
For example, as shown in FIG. 33, the character selection condition 565b is stored in association with the application condition 565a. For example, “always”, as in the first embodiment, selects a female character 4 that has not yet been shaken with a preference Pg equal to or greater than a predetermined limit value Pgmax. On the “designated date D1”, if the specified threshold value P1 is lower than the limit value Pgmax, the character is selected as a confession execution character. In the “designated date D2” and “15 days have passed since the start of the game world date and time”, the designated number is selected by random lottery from the female characters 4 that have not been shaken, regardless of the preference Pg. In addition, “designated date D1” and “designated date D2” mentioned here include not only actual dates such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, New Year, Halloween, but also graduation days in the game world, birthdays of female characters, A date that makes it easy for love feelings to rise, such as some kind of anniversary, or a date that makes it easier to make milestones is set as appropriate.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of confession generation processing in this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the flow is basically the same as the confession generation process of the first embodiment, but step S162 of the first embodiment is replaced with steps S163a and S163b, and steps S166 and S170 are omitted. The Moreover, it replaces with step S188 of 1st Embodiment, and step S189a-S189c is performed.

  Specifically, instead of step S162, the processing unit 200 refers to the confession execution character selection condition data 565, and extracts a female character that has not yet been shaken that meets the selection condition 565b. If there is a corresponding female character 4 (YES in step S163a), it is determined whether the extracted female character includes the current conversation partner (step S163b). If it is included, the process proceeds to step S164. If not included (NO in step S163b), the process proceeds to step S172.

  In addition, after increasing the swing counter 582, the processing unit 200 refers to the basic value k5 (524b) based on the favorable change amount basic value setting data 524 and the result of the most recent action selection in the current event, and determines the positive value. The change amount ΔPg (= k5 · R) is calculated (step S189a), and the calculated change amount ΔPg is added to the favorability Pg of the “favorite” female character 4 (4h) to be updated (step S189b).

  Then, a process for notifying the player that the preference Pg has been changed is executed (step S189c). For example, a gauge of favorable sensitivity Pg is displayed in the game screen, a notification method by increasing or decreasing the gauge, an expression of an arrow mark or a favorite girl's facial expression icon (joy face icon when increased, decreased A sorrowful face icon, etc.), a blinking screen frame, a change in background color, reproduction of a predetermined sound effect, or the like may be used. Alternatively, in the case where the portable game device 1400 is equipped with a vibrator, the vibration pattern may be changed so as to be distinguishable between an increase time and a decrease time, and a vibration may be generated and notified.

  According to the present embodiment, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be exhibited, and a female character to confess can be selected using parameters other than the preference Pg. In addition, in the structure which can acquire an item in a game, possession of a specific item etc. can be suitably added to the application conditions 565a and the character selection conditions 565b.

  Further, the preference Pg of the “favorite” female character 4 (4h) can be changed according to the action selection of the player character 2 in an event with a female character other than the favorite. Therefore, since the characters in the same group are in a rival relationship of love, it is possible to listen to rumors about what happened in the event of another child and incorporate the element that shakes the heart of the favorite child into the love SLG.

  In addition, since the change amount ΔPg of the preference Pg of the “favorite” female character 4 (4h) can be varied in accordance with the value of the preference Pg at that time, the player character 2 feels intimate enough to feel the other party's sincerity. Depending on whether or not, the influence of “swing” can be different. Therefore, the depth and reality as love SLG can be increased.

[Fourth Embodiment]
Next, a fourth embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described. This embodiment is basically realized in the same manner as any of the first to third embodiments, except that the display content of the home screen W4 is changed according to the state of the female character. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the component similar to 1st-3rd embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted, and here, the difference with 1st Embodiment is mainly described based on 1st Embodiment. To do.

  FIG. 35 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the home screen display process, and is executed instead of step S22 of the first embodiment. In this process, first, the processing unit 200 refers to the shake flag 576f to extract the female character 4 that has not been shaken (step S360), and executes the loop B for each of the extracted female characters 4 (step S362). S368).

  In the loop B, the virtual latest incoming date and time is calculated so as to be closer to the current game world time as the preference Pg of the female character to be processed is larger, and stored in the female status data 576 (step S364). Next, the number of virtual calls is calculated so as to increase as the degree of trauma Pb increases, and is stored in the girl status data 576 (step S366).

  If the loop B is executed for all the female characters extracted in S360, the processing unit 200 displays the extracted female character's dialogue selection icons 12 in order from the top on the home screen W4 in a predetermined position (step S370). ), The virtual latest incoming call date and time 13 calculated for each and the number of virtual calls 15 are combined and displayed (step S372).

  In this way, by determining and displaying the virtual latest incoming call date and time 13 and the number of virtual calls 15 based on the values of the internal parameters of each female character 4, it should be an element that can infer the partner's love state from the incoming call history. It is possible to make a more realistic romance SLG.

[Modification]
As described above, the embodiments to which the present invention is applied have been described. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these embodiments, and components can be added, omitted, or changed as appropriate.

[Part 1]
For example, although the portable game device 1400 is exemplified as the game device in the above embodiment, the game device may be realized as a stationary home game device or an arcade game device.
Furthermore, electronic devices that are game devices are not limited to electronic devices sold as “game devices”, but include mobile phones (including so-called smartphones), compact digital cameras, music players, personal computers, car navigation systems that can execute application software. Since the electronic device mentioned above has a built-in computer that can execute the program, or can be said to be a computer itself, it can be a form of a game device that realizes the present invention.
Further, the game device is not limited to functioning alone, but may be a client terminal device (operation terminal device) for playing a network game. In that case, it is preferable that the layout of the home screen W4 is also similar to the operation terminal.

[Part 2]
Moreover, although the casting called the male player character 2 and the plurality of female characters 4 is used, the present invention is not limited to this, and men and women may be reversed.

[Part 3]
In the above embodiment, the game genre is love SLG, but the game material is not limited to love. In other words, there are multiple characters on the offer side for the player character, and the internal parameter value of the offer side character changes due to the event, and when the internal parameter value reaches a certain limit condition, the final offer is made to the player character. Other situations can be used in situations where only one person can receive the final offer. For example, selection of a joint operator may be used as a theme, or a story in which a player character selects only one domestic cat from a plurality of candidate stray cats may be used as a theme.

[Part 4]
In addition, the obstruction event 5 (see FIG. 6) with the other female character 4 that is forcibly inserted while playing an event with the “favorite” female character 4 (4h) is not necessarily compulsory. It is good also as a structure which can select whether it receives or does not receive the obstruction event with the said other female character 4.

  Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 30, when the next event is permitted to cause an interference and the lottery process wins the interference (“occurrence” in step S280), the processing unit 200 Further, it is determined whether or not there is a female character 4 that has not been shaken yet with the type “disturbance”.

  If there is a corresponding female character (YES in step S282), one of the female characters not yet shaken by the type “disturbance” is drawn (step S284), and the lottery is selected. A notification that there is an invitation from the female character and a selection input screen for selecting whether or not to receive the invitation are displayed (step S286).

  If an operation input for accepting an invitation is detected (YES in step S288), the dialogue partner is changed to the female character selected by the lottery in the same manner as in the first embodiment (step S290). The process proceeds to step S38 (see FIG. 18).

  However, when an operation input that does not receive an invitation is detected (NO in step S288), the processing unit 200 performs an action for the player character 2 to perform an event with the “favorite” female character 4 (4h). Considered adopted. Then, the conscience endurance 572 is subtracted by a predetermined value (a value smaller than that in the case of “shaking”) (step S291), and the predetermined value is added to the favorableness Pg of the “favorite” female character 4 (4h) to increase (Step S292)

  In this way, for example, the player selects whether or not the interfering event 5 is inserted between the event that makes a promise with the “faithful” female character 4 (4h) and the next event that fulfills the promise. In addition, the selection result can be reflected as a change in the preference Pg of the “favorite” female character 4 (4h).

  Note that the parameters handled in step S291 are not limited to the conscience durability level 572, and may be separately provided parameters. For example, it may be a fortune parameter value or a parameter value such as work or exercise. Then, it is preferable that a step of selecting a special event that is advantageous or disadvantageous for the player based on the value of the separately provided parameter and a step of executing the selected special event are appropriately inserted. The presence of these parameters makes it difficult for the player to refuse the obstructing event in an attempt to increase the favorite rate of the favorite, and an effect of improving the game performance can be obtained.

[Part 5]
In the above-described embodiment, the event is described as a command selection type. However, a configuration may be adopted in which a mini game is executed and the action selection is automatically determined according to the result of the mini game.

[Part 6]
In the above embodiment, the “favorite” character is selected before the game is started. However, the player can play the game at a predetermined timing after the game starts (for example, when 15 days have elapsed in the game world) or at an arbitrary timing. A configuration may be selected. In that case, the preference Pg of the “favorite” character may be changed at the time of selection. For example, the game may be easily cleared by correcting the preference Pg to be increased (for example, 1.2 times or adding a predetermined number).

[Part 7]
In the above embodiment, the condition that the female character 4 cannot be selected on the home screen W4 is determined when there is no unexecuted event with the female character 4 or when the trauma degree Pb reaches the limit value. 4 voluntarily gave up the romance, but other configurations can be adopted depending on the game content. For example, after the confession generation process, a step of storing a history of the game world date and time of the current event play in the girl status data 576 is inserted. Then, the step of extracting a female character whose date and time stored in the history has passed a predetermined number of days (for example, 20 days) from the previous time and the shake flag 576f of the extracted female character are set to “1”. The step of forcibly changing can be inserted. In this case, the female character 4 feels “not being a partner” or “distant” and can be expressed as if she gave up spontaneously.

[Part 8]
In the above embodiment, the character once shaken cannot be selected as a conversation partner thereafter. However, there may be an opportunity to select a character to be treated as canceling the waved character. . This is equivalent to the so-called resurgence of losers.
Specifically, event data in which the story after the loser is developed is prepared for each female character. Then, at an appropriate timing such as after the dialogue partner's female character is changed, it is detected that the total number of female characters 4 already shaken has reached a predetermined percentage (for example, 80%) of the whole, A step of selecting a predetermined number from the female characters 4 being waved, a step of setting the waved flag 576f of the selected character to “0”, and setting an event for the recovery after the scenario progress data 576g; Execute.
As an event for the resurrection and later, for example, an event such as an e-mail arrives or a phone call comes out, such as “Can I get it again only once?”.

[Part 9]
In the above embodiment, the occurrence timing of the obstruction event 5 is configured to occur between the events 3 and 3s with the “favorite” female character 4 (4h), but other timings may be used.

  For example, it may be generated while the home screen W4 is being displayed. In the present embodiment, since the portable game apparatus 1400 is set as a virtual mobile phone, the beginning of the event generated in this way is not displayed from the event screen W6, but a predetermined call screen (in the virtual mobile phone). It is also possible to use a display to switch to “Incoming call → screen displayed during a call” and a voice output of “Hello ...”. In this way, it is possible to produce an effect that surprises the player as if the telephone was directly received from the disturbing female character on the virtual telephone.

Action options for the event are prepared at the beginning, and for example, “get on call”, “notify until call end”, and “cut during call” can be prepared. These option types 554 (see FIG. 15) may be set to the basic value k0 (556) as sequentially corresponding to “favorable”, “intermediate”, and “distant”. If it is the structure which provides the wound degree Pb, the wound degree Pb will change with the result of action selection. In particular, the basic value k0 (556) corresponding to “cut during a call” is set to a negative value so that it is determined that the trauma Pb has reached the limit value in step S263 (see FIG. 19) by one correction. It is preferable to increase.
Furthermore, the female character 4 appearing in the obstruction event generated during the display of the home screen W4 may be selected with a selection probability based on the degree of trauma Pb. Specifically, in the lottery for selecting a female character in step S284, it is preferable that the lottery is selected such that the higher the trauma degree Pb, the higher the probability of selection.
The occurrence timing of the disturbance event 5 may be a timing other than the home screen W4. For example, if there is a map moving screen such as the player character 2 in the game content, such a disturbing event 5 may be randomly generated while the screen is displayed.

[Part 10]
As an example of one character, an embodiment has been described in which a “favorite” character (desired character) is selected. However, a character other than the desired character may be selected as one character. For example, it may be a game in which a character to be a best friend is selected as one character.
