Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance amusement in a game by increasing the variation of growth modes to be selected.SOLUTION: When a normal mode is selected as shown in Fig.4 (A), an ability value to be added is almost constant even if the number of games increases. When a precocity mode is selected as shown in Fig.4 (B), a large ability value is added just after the start of growth, but the ability value to be added decreases as the number of the games increases. When a late bloomer mode is selected as shown in Fig.4 (C), the ability value to be added is small just after the start of growth, but the ability value to be added increases as the number of the games increases. When an enthusiastic mode is selected as shown in Fig.4 (E), an ability value of a spirit item is almost constant regardless of the increase in the number of games, but an ability value larger than the ability value of a basic item is added as a whole.

Description

  The present invention relates to a game device, a game control program, and a game control method for executing a game for causing a character to grow by moving a character in a game space in accordance with an operation command of a player and increasing the ability value of the character. is there.

  In recent years, in baseball games that simulate professional baseball, a growth mode (nurturing mode) for growing a character is provided separately from the pennant race, a specific character is grown through this growth mode, and the grown character is used as a member of the team. Built and fighting pennant races are known.

  As a game mode in the growth mode, for example, a character to be grown is incorporated as a member of a team, battles with another team, and the character to be grown grows through this battle. An aspect of growing a character to be grown by performing practice or pitching practice is known.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, the player selects and narrows down the position of the character based on the suitability and desire of the character to be grown at the milestone of character growth such as elementary school → junior high school → high school, and finally A game for determining the position of a character is disclosed. Specifically, in Patent Document 1, first, the player selects whether it is a pitcher or a fielder at the first milestone, and if a pitcher is selected, the player selects whether it is a starter or a relief at the next milestone, and the fielder selects If so, the position of the character is narrowed down so that the catcher, the infielder, or the outfielder is selected at the next milestone.

JP 2010-162176 A

  By the way, in actual baseball, the player's growth pattern such as speed of improvement differs depending on the talent of each player. For example, there are growth patterns that increase at a tremendous speed after starting baseball, and growth patterns in which the improvement speed increases gradually as it continues, although the improvement speed immediately after starting baseball is slow.

  However, in Patent Document 1, a large flow of character growth, such as whether to train as a pitcher or a fielder, can be changed according to the player's intention, but the growth pattern differs depending on each player. Is not considered at all. Therefore, Patent Literature 1 has a problem that the character growth method lacks realism like a player growth pattern in the real world.

  On the other hand, if the above-described real world event is simply reflected on the game as it is, the ability value finally given to the character may differ depending on the growth pattern. In such a configuration, the player can only select a growth pattern that can obtain a high ability value. As a result, even if variations are provided in the growth pattern, it is difficult to bring out various game characteristics.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a game device, a game control program, and a game control method for executing a game that can increase the variation of selection of the growth mode and enhance the interest of the game.

  (1) A game apparatus according to the present invention is a game apparatus for executing a game for growing a character by moving the character in a game space in accordance with an operation command from a player and increasing the ability value of the character. A growth mode setting unit configured to set any one growth mode selected based on a player's selection command as a growth mode of the character from among a plurality of growth modes having different growth patterns when the character starts to grow; The character grows according to a growth pattern defined by the growth mode set by the growth mode setting unit and an ability value calculation unit that calculates an ability value to be given to the character according to the result of an event in which the character participates The ability value correction unit for correcting the ability value, and the ability value correction An ability value accumulating unit that accumulates the ability values corrected by the event, regardless of which growth mode the player selects, the event in the growth period from the start of growth to the end of growth If the results are the same, the ability values are corrected so that the integrated values of the ability values are the same.

  In addition, the game control program and the game control method according to the present invention are substantially the same as described above, and thus description thereof will be omitted.

  According to this configuration, regardless of the growth mode selected by the player, if the result of the event in the growth period is the same (for example, if the number of wins and losses in the game is the same), the same ability value is calculated. Therefore, unfairness between growth modes can be eliminated. Specifically, for example, when a certain growth mode cannot give a growth target character a higher ability value than other growth modes, no player selects this growth mode. Then, this growth mode does not substantially exist, and as a result, the width of the growth mode selected by the player becomes narrow, so that the game cannot be diversified. Therefore, in this configuration, as described above, the same ability value is calculated under the condition that the result of the event in the growth period is the same (for example, if the number of wins and losses in the game is the same). In this case, unfairness between growth modes is eliminated, and a certain growth mode is prevented from substantially disappearing. As a result, it is possible to increase the variation of selection of the growth mode and enhance the interest of the game.

  (2) A correction table storage unit that stores a correction table that is predetermined for each growth mode and that defines a correction coefficient in accordance with the number of events from the start of the growth. A correction coefficient corresponding to the growth mode set by the mode setting unit and the number of events from the start of the growth is specified from the correction table, the capability value is corrected using the specified correction coefficient, and the correction table is It is preferable to define the correction coefficient so that the total value of the correction coefficients in each growth mode is the same.

  According to this configuration, the capability value is corrected using the correction table that stores the correction coefficient corresponding to the number of events from the start of growth for each growth mode. The correction table defines the correction coefficient so that the total value of the correction coefficients in each growth mode is the same. Therefore, if the result of the event in the growth period is the same regardless of which growth mode is selected, the ability value given to the character to be grown will be almost the same value, and unfairness will occur regardless of which growth mode is selected. It can be prevented from occurring.

  (3) The growth mode includes a first growth mode having a growth pattern in which the degree of growth of the character decreases as the number of events from the start of growth increases, and the number of events from the start of growth. And a second growth mode having a growth pattern in which the degree of growth of the character increases as it increases, and the first growth mode decreases in accordance with the number of events from the start of the growth. It is preferable that the correction coefficient is defined so that the second growth mode increases in accordance with the number of events from the start of the growth.

  According to this configuration, in the first growth mode, the correction coefficient is defined so as to decrease as the number of events increases. Thereby, in the first growth mode, the capability value greatly increases at the initial stage of the growth period, but the capability value does not increase so much toward the end of the growth period. As a result, for example, when applied to a baseball game, it is possible to simulate the growth pattern of a precocious baseball player.

  On the other hand, in the second growth mode, the correction coefficient is defined so as to increase as the number of events increases. As a result, the ability value does not increase so much at the initial stage of the growth period, but the ability value greatly increases toward the end of the growth period. As a result, for example, when applied to a baseball game, it is possible to simulate the growth pattern of a baseball player with a large evening mold.

  (4) The ability value includes a plurality of items, and the growth pattern prioritizes the ability value of a specific item, which is one of the items, over the ability value of other items. The correction table further includes a third growth mode to be increased, the correction table defines the correction coefficient for each item, and the first and second growth modes have the specific item in which the correction coefficient of the specific item is the third growth mode. Preferably, the third growth mode is defined such that the correction coefficient of the specific item is higher than the correction coefficients of other items.

  According to this configuration, in the third growth mode, the correction coefficient for the specific item is defined to be higher than the correction coefficient for the specific item in the first and second growth modes. Therefore, when the third growth mode is selected, the capability value of the specific item can be increased more than when the first and second growth modes are selected. Therefore, it is possible to train a unique character that excels in the ability of a specific item.

  (5) It is preferable that the correction factors of the specific item and the other items are defined so that the third growth mode is constant regardless of the number of events from the start of the growth.

  According to this configuration, in the third growth mode, the correction factors of the specific item and other items are defined to be constant regardless of the number of events from the start of growth. Therefore, when the third growth mode is selected, there is no change in how the ability value increases as the number of events increases as in the case where the first growth mode or the second growth mode is selected. Therefore, the difference between the third growth mode and the first growth mode or the second growth mode can be further emphasized, and the third growth mode can be further characterized.

  (6) The first growth mode is defined such that the correction coefficient of the other item decreases according to the number of events from the start of the growth, and the correction coefficient of the specific item is the start of the growth The second growth mode is defined such that the correction coefficient of the other item increases according to the number of events from the start of the growth, and is defined to be constant regardless of the number of events from In addition, it is preferable that the correction coefficient of the specific item is defined to be constant regardless of the number of events from the start of the growth.

  According to this configuration, in the first growth mode and the second growth mode, the correction coefficient of the specific item is made constant regardless of the number of events, but the correction coefficient of other items is respectively increased as the number of events increases. It is specified to decrease and increase. On the other hand, in the third growth mode, the correction coefficient of the specific item is defined to be higher than the correction coefficient of the specific item in the first and second growth modes. Therefore, when the first and second growth modes are selected, the capability value of the specific item cannot be increased so much, and the difference between the first to third growth modes can be more pronounced.

  According to the present invention, even when a plurality of types of growth patterns for growing a character are taken into the game, the ability to be finally acquired by each growth pattern is configured so as not to differ. It is possible to prevent unfairness between the selected players. Also, if there is a difference in the ability to acquire between growth patterns, only the failure pattern that can be assumed, that is, the growth pattern that can acquire the highest ability is selected, and as a result, multiple types of growth patterns are provided. This makes it possible to avoid problems such as that does not make sense, and to realize a game in which the player can enjoy substantially various growth patterns.

The amplifier circuit 22 amplifies the sound data output from the sound processor and supplies the amplified sound data to the speaker 23.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the game apparatus shown in FIG. This game apparatus executes a game in which the character is grown by moving the character in the game space in accordance with an operation command from the player and increasing the ability value of the character. As shown in FIG. 2, the game device includes an operation unit 100, a display unit 200, a control unit 300, and a storage unit 400. The operation unit 100 includes the controller 19 shown in FIG. 1 and receives various operation commands input by the player.

  The display unit 200 includes the television monitor 21 shown in FIG. The control unit 300 includes the CPU 1, the graphics data generation processor 3, and the drawing processor 10 shown in FIG. 1, and includes a growth mode setting unit 301, an event generation unit 302, an ability value calculation unit 303, an ability value correction unit 304, And a capability value accumulating unit 305.

  The growth mode setting unit 301 sets, as a character growth mode, one of the growth modes selected based on the player's selection command from among a plurality of growth modes having different growth patterns when the character starts to grow. .

  Here, the start of character growth refers to the time when the player makes initial settings for the character to be grown. Initial settings include character information settings such as character name and character position, and growth mode settings. In the initial setting, the growth mode setting unit 301 performs the following processing.

  First, when an operation command for initial setting of a character to be grown is input to the operation unit 100, the growth mode setting unit 301 prompts an input of character information including the character name and position, and the growth mode. An image or the like for prompting selection of a mode is displayed on the display unit 200.

  The growth mode setting unit 301 stores the character information and the growth mode when the registration instruction is input after the player inputs the character information and the growth mode by operating the operation unit 100. The storage area of the character information storage unit 403 is secured in the storage unit 400. Then, the growth mode setting unit 301 writes the character information and the growth mode input by the player in the character information storage unit 403. The initial setting is thus completed.

  In the present embodiment, there are a normal mode, an early maturation mode (an example of a first growth mode), a grand aging mode (an example of a second growth mode), and a hot blood mode (an example of a third growth mode) as growth modes. The normal mode is a mode having a growth pattern in which the degree of character growth is constant regardless of the number of events in which the character participates.

  The premature mode is a mode having a growth pattern in which the degree of growth of the character decreases as the number of events in which the character participates increases.

  The grand aging mode is a mode having a growth pattern in which the degree of growth of the character increases as the number of events in which the character participates increases.

  The hot-blooded mode is a mode in which the ability value of a spirit item (an example of a specific item) that is one of a plurality of items is preferentially increased compared to the ability value of a basic item (an example of another item). is there.

  The player selects any one of these four growth modes. Note that when the growth mode is set for a certain character, the growth mode setting unit 301 prohibits changing the growth mode until character growth is completed. Specifically, when the growth mode is set for the growth target character and the initial setting is completed, thereafter, the growth mode setting unit 301 displays an image for informing the growth mode set for the growth target character. The image for changing the growth mode set by the player in the initial setting is not displayed on the display unit 200.

  As a result, the character is grown in the early maturity mode immediately after the start of growth, and when the character's ability value has increased to some extent, the character's growth mode is switched from the early maturation mode to the general adult mode, and the character is grown. Can be prohibited.

  The event generation unit 302 generates an event that causes a character to participate in order to grow the character. In this embodiment, a baseball game corresponds to the event. As a form of the game, a form is adopted in which the character to be grown is a member of a baseball team and this baseball team is played against another baseball team.

  The player uses the baseball team including the character to be grown as the player's baseball team, and operates each character (including the character to be grown) constituting the player's baseball team to operate the opponent's baseball team as the opponent. Play against. Here, the event generation unit 302 causes each character of the opponent's baseball team to perform an action in accordance with the game situation and play against the player's baseball team. That is, the event generation unit 302 causes the player-side baseball team to play a CPU against the opponent-side baseball team.

  Note that the event generation unit 302 starts one event, that is, one game, when an operation command for starting a game is input by the player using the operation unit 100. In addition, when the game reaches a predetermined inning (for example, 9 times), the event generating unit 302 ends one event, that is, one game.

  Then, when one game is completed, the event generating unit 302 notifies the ability value calculating unit 303 of performance data (an example of the result of the event) indicating the performance of the character to be grown in one game. Here, if the position of the character to be grown is other than the pitcher, the performance data includes batting data, defensive data, batting data, running data, and activity level. When the position of the character to be grown is a pitcher, defense rate data, pitching count data, mental data, changing ball data, and activity level are included.

  The hit data is, for example, 4 points per home run, 3 points per 3 hits, 2 points per 2 hits, 1 point per single hit, depending on the type of hit The value expressed by weighted addition is adopted. For the defensive data, a value obtained by subtracting the number of times the ball object has failed from the number of times the ball object has been successfully captured is adopted. As batting data, a value obtained by dividing the number of hits by the number of bats is adopted. For the running data, the number of successful thefts is adopted. The activity level is data that shows how many characters of the growth target have been active.

  Here, when the degree of activity of the growth target character is larger than that of the other characters making up the baseball team on the player side, the activity level is set to a large value, and the growth level of the character to be grown is higher than that of the other characters. When the level of activity is small, a small value is set.

  Specifically, the activity value is calculated to be larger as the batting rate, the hitting point, and the number of thefts of the character to be grown become larger than the average batting rate, the average hitting point, and the average number of thefts of the baseball team on the player side, respectively. . On the other hand, when the batting rate, the hitting point, and the number of thefts of the character to be grown are respectively equal to or less than the average batting rate, the hitting point, and the average number of thefts of the baseball team on the player side, no activity level is given.

  Further, when the position of the character to be grown is a pitcher, the activity level is set to a larger value as the defense rate decreases.

  For the defense rate data, a value obtained by dividing the loss of the character to be grown by the number of innings thrown is adopted. As the pitching frequency data, the number of innings that the character to be grown has pitched is adopted. The mental data is given a predetermined value when a strong hitter is beaten or a pinch is surpassed. For example, when the 4th batter is out, or when the home run batter is out, 4 points, and when the mid-range hitter is out, 3 points will be as large as the batter with high hitting power is out. Is granted. In addition, the mental data is given a predetermined value even when there is no runout despite no-out and at least 3 runners. The changed ball data is given a predetermined value when the batter is shaken by the changed ball or the batter is shot by the changed ball.

  In addition, when the player team loses the opponent team, the event generating unit 302 ends the growth of the character to be grown. That is, as long as the player's baseball team wins, the event generating unit 302 causes the player's baseball team to play against the opponent's baseball team until the number of matches reaches a predetermined upper limit, Grow. On the other hand, when the baseball team on the player side loses the match with the opponent team, the event generation unit 302 performs the next match against the baseball team on the player side even if the number of matches has not reached the predetermined upper limit. Instead, the growth of the character to be grown is terminated.

  The ability value calculation unit 303 uses the result data notified from the event generation unit 302 to calculate the ability value to be given to the growth target character. The capability value has a capability value of a plurality of items including a capability value PT1 of a basic item (an example of another item) and a capability value PT2 of a spirits item (an example of a specific item). The basic item ability value PT1 is an ability value determined based on the technique of the character to be grown. The ability value PT2 of the spirits item is an ability value determined based on the activity level of the character to be grown.

  When the character to be grown is a fielder character, the ability values PT1 of the basic items are the ability values PT11 to PT13 of batting, defensive ability, and running ability. When the character to be grown is a pitcher, the basic item ability values PT1 are the pitcher, stamina, mental, and ball ability values PT14 to PT17.

  The hit ability value PT11 is calculated by multiplying the hit data D1 by the predetermined weight coefficient α11 among the result data calculated by the event generating unit 302 (PT11 = D1 · α11).

  The defensive ability value PT12 is calculated by multiplying the defensive data D2 by the predetermined weighting coefficient α12 among the result data calculated by the event generating unit 302 (PT12 = D2 · α12).

  The running ability value PT13 is calculated by multiplying the running data D3 by the predetermined weighting coefficient α13 among the performance data calculated by the event generating unit 302 (PT13 = D3 · α13).

  Each of the ability values PT11 to PT13 of the batting, defensive, and running ability becomes the ability value PT1 of the basic item of the character to be grown in the fielder.

  The ability value PT14 of the pitcher is calculated by multiplying the defense rate data D4 among the result data calculated by the event generating unit 302 by a predetermined weighting factor α14 (PT14 = D4 · α14). The stamina ability value PT15 is calculated by multiplying the pitching count data D5 among the performance data calculated by the event generating unit 302 by a predetermined weighting factor α15 (PT15 = D1 · α15).

  The mental ability value PT16 is calculated by multiplying mental data D6 among the result data calculated by the event generating unit 302 by a predetermined weighting factor α16 (PT11 = D6 · α16).

  The ability value PT17 of the sphere type is calculated by multiplying the changed sphere data D7 among the result data calculated by the event generating unit 302 by a predetermined weighting coefficient α17 (PT17 = D7 · α17).

  Each of the pitcher ability value PT14 to the ability value PT17 of the ball type becomes the ability value PT1 of the basic item of the pitcher character.

  Regardless of the pitcher or the fielder, the ability value PT2 of the spirit is calculated by multiplying the activity level D8 among the performance data calculated by the event generation unit 302 by a predetermined weighting coefficient α2 (PT2 = D8 · α2).

  It should be noted that the ability value calculation unit 303 applies the striking ability value PT11, the defensive ability value PT12, the running ability value PT13, the pitcher ability value PT14, and the stamina ability for the character to be grown at the start of growth. A predetermined default value is assigned to each of the value PT15, the mental ability value PT16, the ball ability value PT17, and the spirit ability value PT2. The weighting coefficients α11 to α17, α2 are set so as not to cause a large difference in the number of digits of the ability value, and are set in advance according to which ability value is important.

  The ability value correcting unit 304 corrects the ability value calculated by the ability value calculating unit 303 so that the growth target character grows according to the growth pattern defined by the growth mode set by the growth mode setting unit 301.

  Here, the ability value correction unit 304 has the same integrated ability value as long as the result of the event in the growth period from the start of growth to the end of growth is the same regardless of the growth mode selected by the player. The ability value is corrected so that The same event result means that the result data calculated by the event generation unit 302 is the same.

  In this way, no matter what growth mode the player selects, if the performance data in the growth period is the same, the same ability value is calculated, so that unfairness between the growth modes can be eliminated. For example, if a certain growth mode cannot give a growth target character a higher ability value than other growth modes, no player will select this growth mode. In this case, the growth mode does not substantially exist, the width of the growth mode selected by the player is narrowed, and the variation of the selection of the growth mode cannot be increased to enhance the interest of the game. End up. Therefore, in the present embodiment, this problem is solved by correcting the ability value so that unfairness does not occur regardless of which growth mode is selected.

  Specifically, the capability value correction unit 304 includes a correction table stored in the correction table storage unit 402 with a correction coefficient corresponding to the growth mode set by the growth mode setting unit 301 and the number of events from the start of growth. The capability value is corrected using the specified correction coefficient. Here, the correction table is predetermined for each growth mode, and defines a correction coefficient corresponding to the number of events from the start of growth.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the data structure of the correction table. FIG. 3A shows a correction table for the normal mode and the hot blood mode, and FIG. 3B shows a correction table for the early maturation mode and the large aging mode.

  The correction table for each mode has basic and spirit rows. The correction coefficient stored in the basic row is used when correcting the capability value PT1 of the basic item. The correction coefficient stored in the spirit line is used when correcting the ability value PT2 of the spirit item.

  In addition, in the initial stage, after the game 1 to 4 after the game, the ability value calculation timings are respectively defined. The correction coefficient stored in the initial column is used when correcting the default ability value given at the start of growth. The correction coefficient stored in the column 1 after the game is used when correcting the ability value calculated by the ability value calculation unit 303 when the first game is completed in the growth period. The correction coefficient stored in the column 2 after the game is used when correcting the ability value calculated by the ability value calculation unit 303 when the second game is completed in the growth period. Similarly, the correction coefficient stored in each column of 3 after the game and 4 after the game is used when correcting the ability value calculated when the third game and the fourth game are finished.

  The correction coefficient stored in the awakening setting column is used when correcting a later-described awakening point given to the character to be grown at the end of the growth. The total value column stores the total value of correction coefficients stored in each column of the same row.

  In the normal mode, the correction coefficient for each column of the basic row and the correction coefficient for each column of the spirit row are all 1.0, and the basic item and the spirit item regardless of the increase in the number of games since the start of growth. It can be seen that the correction coefficient is constant.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, in the precocious mode, the number of matches increases such that the correction coefficient of each column in the basic row is 2.0, 1.0,..., 0.4. It can be seen that it decreases with time. As a result, the ability value greatly increases in the initial stage of the growth period, but the ability value does not increase so much toward the end of the growth period. As a result, it is possible to simulate the growth pattern of a precocious baseball player.

  In addition, in the big aging mode, it can be seen that the correction coefficient of each column in the basic row increases as the number of matches increases, such as 0.6, 0.7,..., 1.3. . As a result, the ability value does not increase so much at the initial stage of the growth period, but the ability value greatly increases toward the end of the growth period. As a result, it is possible to simulate the growth pattern of a baseball player who has been molding a big game.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, in the hot-blooded mode, all the correction coefficients in the columns from the initial stage of the spirit row to 4 after the game are 1.3, All correction factors are 0.6. In the hot blood mode, the correction coefficient of the column of the awakening setting of the spirits row is 1.3, and the correction coefficient of the column of the awakening setting of the basic row is 1.2. That is, in the hot blood mode, the correction coefficient of each column of the spirit row is larger than the correction coefficient of the same column of the basic row. Therefore, when the hot blood mode is selected, the ability value of the spirit item can be increased more than the ability value of the basic item.

  On the other hand, the normal mode and the early-ripening mode all have a correction coefficient of 1.0 for each column of the spirits row, and the general adult mode has all the correction coefficients for each column of the spirits row of 1.1. It is set lower than 1.3 which is the correction coefficient of each column of the spirit row. Therefore, when the hot-blood mode is selected, the ability value of the spirit item can be increased more than when the normal mode, the early-ripening mode, or the general aging mode is selected.

  In the normal mode, the total value of the correction coefficients in each column of the basic row is 6.0, the total value of the correction coefficients in each column of the spirit row is 6.0, and the total value of the correction coefficients Is 12.0.

  In addition, the total values of the correction factors for the hot blood mode, the precocious mode, and the genital-growth mode are 12.0, 12.0, 12.0, and 12.6, respectively. It has become. Therefore, regardless of which growth mode is selected, if the performance data in the growth period is the same, the ability value given to the growth character is almost the same value. As a result, unfairness does not occur regardless of which growth mode is selected.

  3 (A) and 3 (B), the number of games is four, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of games is a number other than four, for example 2, 3, 5, 6,. ..., 10,..., 100,. In this case, a correction coefficient corresponding to the number of games may be defined in the correction table.

  Next, the processing by the ability value correction unit 304 will be specifically described by taking as an example a case where the precocious mode is selected as the growth mode of the character to be grown. First, the first game ends, and the ability value calculation unit 303 calculates the ability value PT1 of the basic item and the ability value PT2 of the spirits item. Then, the ability value correction unit 304 reads out the correction coefficient (= 1.5) stored in the first column after the game in the basic row of the correction table in the precociousness mode shown in FIG. The capability value correcting unit 304 multiplies the read correction coefficient (= 1.5) by the capability value PT1 of the basic item to correct the capability value PT1 of the basic item, thereby calculating a capability value PT1 ′.

  Here, when the character to be grown is a fielder character, there are the ability values PT11 to PT13 of the attack power, the defense power, and the running power as the ability values PT1 of the basic items. Therefore, the ability value correction unit 304 multiplies the attack power, defensive power, and running power ability values PT11 to PT13 by the correction coefficient read from the correction table to obtain the attack power, defensive power, and running power ability values. PT11 ′ to PT13 ′ are calculated.

  When the character to be grown is a pitcher character, there are pitcher, stamina, mental, and ball type ability values PT14 to PT17 as ability values PT2 of the spirit items. Therefore, the ability value correction unit 304 multiplies the pitcher, stamina, mental, and ball type ability values PT14 to PT17 by the correction coefficient read from the correction table to obtain the attack ability, defense ability, and running ability values. PT14 'to PT17' are calculated.

  Further, the ability value correction unit 304 reads out the correction coefficient (= 1.0) stored in the column 1 after the game in the spirit row of the correction table in the precocious mode shown in FIG. Then, the ability value correction unit 304 multiplies the read correction coefficient (= 1.0) by the ability value PT2 of the spirit item to correct the ability value PT2 of the spirit item, thereby calculating the ability value PT2 ′.

  As described above, when the ability value is calculated by the ability value calculation unit 303, the ability value correction unit 304 determines the basic item of the corresponding column from the correction table corresponding to the growth mode set for the character to be grown. Read out the correction coefficient and the correction coefficient of the spirit item. The capability value correcting unit 304 multiplies the read basic item correction coefficient by the basic item capability value PT1, and multiplies the spirit item correction coefficient by the spirit item capability value PT2. The ability value PT2 of the spirits item is corrected.

  The increase pattern of the ability value of the character to be grown in each growth mode shown in FIG. 3 is conceptually shown as follows. FIG. 4 is a graph conceptually showing an increase pattern of ability values, and (A) to (D) show the increase patterns of ability values of basic items of a normal mode, an early maturity mode, a large genital maturation mode, and a hot blood mode, respectively. FIG. 4E shows an increase pattern of ability values of spirit items in the hot blood mode.

  4A to 4D, the vertical axis represents the ability value PT1 of the basic item given to the character to be grown per game, and the horizontal axis represents the number of games. In FIG. 4E, the vertical axis indicates the ability value PT2 of the spirit item given to the growth target character per game, and the horizontal axis indicates the number of games. As shown in FIG. 4A, when the normal mode is selected, it can be seen that the ability value given is almost constant even if the number of matches is increased. As shown in FIG. 4 (B), when the early maturity mode is selected, a large ability value is given immediately after the start of growth, but the ability value given decreases as the number of matches increases. . As shown in FIG. 4 (C), when the grand aging mode is selected, the ability value given is small immediately after the start of growth, but the ability value given increases as the number of matches increases. . As shown in FIG. 4D, when the hot-blooded mode is selected, the ability value of the basic item is almost constant regardless of the increase in the number of matches, and a lower ability value is given compared to the normal mode. I understand that. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4E, when the hot blood mode is selected, the ability value of the spirit item is almost constant regardless of the increase in the number of matches, but is generally larger than the ability value of the basic item. It turns out that the ability value is given.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the ability value integrating unit 305 calculates the integrated value AP1 of the ability value PT1 ′ of the basic item calculated by the ability value correcting unit 304 and stores it in the character information storage unit 403.

  Further, the ability value integrating unit 305 calculates an integrated value AP2 of the ability value PT2 ′ of the spirit item calculated by the ability value correcting unit 304 and stores it in the character information storage unit 403.

  Thus, each time a game is played during the growth period, the ability value PT1 ′ of the basic item and the ability value PT2 ′ of the spirit item are integrated, and the ability value of the character to be grown increases.

  Note that the ability value correcting unit 304 individually calculates the ability values PT11 ′ to PT13 ′ of the attack power, the defense power, and the running power when the character to be grown is a fielder. Therefore, the ability value integration unit 305 individually calculates the integration values AP11 to AP13 of the attack ability, defensive ability, and running ability ability values PT11 ′ to PT13 ′. Therefore, when the character to be grown is a fielder, the integrated values AP1 of the basic items include integrated values AP11 to AP13 of attack power, defense power, and running power, which are individually stored in the character information storage unit 403. Is done.

  In addition, when the character to be grown is a pitcher, the ability value correction unit 304 individually calculates the ability values PT14 ′ to PT17 ′ of the pitcher, stamina, mental, and ball type. Therefore, the ability value integration unit 305 individually calculates the integration values AP14 to AP17 of the ability values PT11 ′ to PT13 ′ of the pitcher, stamina, mental, and ball ability values PT14 ′ to PT17 ′. Therefore, when the character to be grown is a pitcher, the integrated values AP1 of the basic items include integrated values AP14 to AP17 of attack power, defensive power, and running power, which are individually stored in the character information storage unit 403. Is done.

  The storage unit 400 includes the main memory 5 shown in FIG. 1 and includes an image data storage unit 401, a correction table storage unit 402, and a character information storage unit 403. The image data storage unit 401 stores image data necessary for the event generation unit 302 to develop a baseball game in the game space. Here, the image data includes three-dimensional image data of a character, three-dimensional image data of a baseball field, three-dimensional image data of a ball object, and the like. The three-dimensional image data of the character, baseball field, and ball object includes three-dimensional shape data, textures pasted on the three-dimensional shape data, and the like.

  The correction table storage unit 402 stores the correction tables shown in FIGS. The character information storage unit 403 stores character information set by the growth mode setting unit 301, a growth mode, an integrated value AP1 of basic items, and an integrated value AP2 of spirit items.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing processing of the game device when the player selects the growth mode. First, in step S1, the growth mode setting unit 301 causes the display unit 200 to display a selection image for allowing the player to select a growth mode. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a selection image for allowing the player to select a growth mode. As shown in FIG. 6, in the selected image, four buttons BT1 to BT4 are displayed in the vertical direction at substantially the center of the image. The buttons BT1 to BT4 are respectively indicated as normal, hot-blooded, premature ripening, and genital maturity, and are associated with a normal mode, a hot-blooded mode, an early ripening mode, and a genital maturation mode, respectively.

  Next, when the operation unit 100 receives a selection command input by the player to select the growth mode (YES in step S2), the growth mode setting unit 301 sets the growth mode indicated by the selection command to the character to be grown. The growth mode is set (step S3). On the other hand, when operation unit 100 does not accept the selection command (NO in step S2), the process returns to step S2.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the player operates the operation unit 100 to move the cursor (not shown) to the button desired to be selected from the buttons BT1 to BT4. Then, a determination command is input by the player using the operation unit 100. As a result, the operation unit 100 accepts a selection command from the player. Then, the growth mode associated with the button selected by the player is determined as the growth mode for the character to be grown.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the processing of the game device when growing the character. First, when the operation unit 100 receives a game start operation command from the player (YES in step S11), the event generation unit 302 displays the setting image shown in FIG. 8 (step S13).

  FIG. 8 is a screen diagram illustrating an example of a setting image. In the example of FIG. 8, a setting image in the case where the character to be grown is a pitcher is shown.

  On the upper side of the setting image, a pitcher column R1, a stamina column R2, a mental column R3, a ball type column R4, and a spirits column R5 are displayed. The pitcher integrated value AP14 is displayed in the pitcher column R1. The stamina column R2 displays the accumulated stamina value AP15. A mental integrated value AP16 is displayed in the mental column R3. The ball type column R4 displays the ball type accumulated value AP17. In the spirit column R5, the integrated value AP2 of the spirit items is displayed.

  In the example of FIG. 8, 1200, 1200, 500, 2000, and 12 are displayed in the pitcher column R1 to the spirits column R5, respectively. Therefore, it can be seen that the pitcher integrated value AP14 to the ball type integrated value AP17 of the character to be grown and the spirit item integrated value AP2 are 1200, 1200, 500, 2000, and 12, respectively.

  A skill level setting field R6 for setting the skill level of the character to be grown for each item is displayed at the center of the setting image in FIG.

  In the example of FIG. 8, “fastball + 1 km / h” is displayed in the first line of the skill level setting field R6, and “51+” is displayed beside it. In this case, if the player uses 51 points of the pitcher ability value PT15, the speed of the ball object thrown by the character to be grown can be increased by 1 km / h.

  Further, “2 seam fast” is displayed in the second line of the skill level setting field R6, and “300 + flame mark 3” is displayed beside it. In this case, if the player uses 300 points of the ability value PT17 of the ball type and uses 3 points of the ability value PT2 of the spirit, the player can have the character to be grown throw a 2 sphere fast changing ball.

  Also, “original change ball” is displayed on the third line of the skill level setting field, and “200 + flame mark 2” is displayed beside it. In this case, if the player uses 200 points of the ability value PT17 of the ball type and uses 2 points of the ability value PT2 of the spirit item, the player can throw the original changed ball to the character to be grown. Here, the original change sphere is a change sphere uniquely possessed by the character to be grown.

  Further, “vs. left batter Δ1” is displayed in the fourth line of the skill level setting column, and “LOCK” is displayed beside it. In this case, the player cannot increase the skill level of the character to be grown against the left batter.

  In this way, the player can increase the skill level of the character to be grown for each item by using the acquired ability value, and the character to be grown can be grown to a player that suits his / her preference. it can.

  When the operation command for setting the skill level by the player using the ability value is received by the operation unit 100, the ability value accumulation unit 305 subtracts the ability value requested by the skill level item from the accumulated value of the ability value. .

  For example, in FIG. 8, when the player inputs an operation command to increase the skill level of 2 seam fast, the ability value integrating unit 305 sets the accumulated value AP17 of the ball type to 1700 (= 2000-300) and spirits. The integrated value AP2 of the item is 9 (= 12-3).

  The setting image shown in FIG. 8 is displayed every time one game is finished. Therefore, the player can recognize by numerical value how much the ability value has increased every time one game is finished. Further, the setting image shown in FIG. 8 is displayed every time one game is started after the second game. Therefore, the player can perform an operation of setting the skill level of the character to be grown when one game is started.

  Returning to FIG. 7, in step S <b> 13, the event generating unit 302 starts the game when the operation for setting the skill level is completed by the player (step S <b> 13).

  FIG. 9 is a screen diagram for explaining an outline of the baseball game developed by the event generation unit 302 in the game space. As shown in FIG. 9, the baseball game is a baseball game in which the pitcher character CL2 throws the ball object BL and the batter character CL1 returns the ball object BL with the bat object BT.

  In this baseball game, when the player is an attacking side, the operation unit 100 is operated to move the meat cursor K displayed in the outer frame WK indicating the strike zone on the display screen, so that the ball object BL moves to the home base. When the vicinity is reached, the meat cursor K is positioned on the ball object BL and a batting command is input. Then, the bat object BT is displayed as a swing, and the ball object BL is hit back.

  On the other hand, when the player is on the defensive side, the operation unit 100 is operated to input the ball type and course of the ball object BL thrown by the pitcher character CL2, and input a pitching command. Then, the ball object BL is thrown by the pitcher character CL2, and the event generating unit 302 causes the batter character CL1 to hit the ball object BL. This is repeated and the baseball game proceeds.

  In step S14 shown in FIG. 7, when the operation unit 100 receives an operation command from the player (YES in step S14), the event generation unit 302 performs processing according to the operation command (step S15). For example, when an operation command for moving the meet cursor K is input by the player, the event generating unit 302 moves the meet cursor K in the direction indicated by the operation command.

  Further, when a pitching command is input as an operation command by the player, the event generating unit 302 causes the pitcher character CL2 to throw the ball object BL. Further, when a batting command is input as an operation command by the player, the event generating unit 302 causes the batter character CL1 to strike the ball object BL.

  In this case, when the ball object BL overlaps the meat cursor K at the hitting timing when a predetermined time elapses from when the hitting command is input until the bat object BT reaches the home base, the event generating unit 302 If it is determined that CL1 has been hit successfully and the ball object BL does not overlap the meat cursor K, it is determined that the batter character CL1 has failed to hit.

  When the event generating unit 302 determines that the batter character CL1 has been successfully hit, the event generating unit 302 is a hit type or a general hit based on the position at which the center of gravity of the ball object BL has passed the meat cursor K at the hitting timing. The ball object BL is moved and displayed according to the determination result.

  Further, when the player is on the defensive side, when the ball object BL is hit by the batter character CL1, the player operates the operation unit 100 to move the fielder character, inputs a ball catching command, and inputs the ball object to the fielder character. Let's catch BL. Further, the player inputs a pitching command as necessary, and causes the fielder character to throw the ball object caught.

  When the match is over (YES in step S16), the event generation unit 302 calculates the performance data of the character to be grown. On the other hand, if the game has not ended (NO in step S16), the process returns to step S13, and the game continues.

  Next, the ability value calculation unit 303 calculates the ability value of the character to be grown using the result data calculated in step S17 (step S18). Next, the ability value correction unit 304 reads the corresponding correction coefficient with reference to the correction table, and corrects the ability value calculated in step S18 using the read correction coefficient (step S19).

  Next, the ability value integrating unit 305 integrates the ability values corrected in step S19, calculates the integrated value of the ability values, and stores it in the character information storage unit 403 (step S20). Next, when the growth period ends (YES in step S21), an awakening point is calculated (step S22). Here, when the growth period ends, if the baseball team on the player side continues to win the game, it corresponds to the number of matches reaching the predetermined upper limit value, and the baseball team on the player side reaches the predetermined upper limit value. If you lose by the time you reach it, you will lose. For example, if the upper limit is 4 games, if you win 4 games in a row, the growth period ends when the 4th game ends, and if the player's baseball team loses in the 2nd game, the 2nd game The growth period ends when finished.

  On the other hand, if the growth period has not ended (NO in step S21), the process returns to step S11, the processes after step S11 are executed, and the next game is performed.

  The awakening point is an index indicating how much the growth target character will grow in the future, and indicates the growth allowance of the growth target character. That is, the growth target character whose growth period has ended participates in the game as a member of the pennant race team developed in the game space. This pennant race simulates a pennant race performed in actual professional baseball, and determines a win or loss by playing against other baseball teams a predetermined number of times (for example, 140 games). Then, the player can fight the pennant race by having the nurtured growth target character participate in his / her baseball team. Here, in the pennant race, each character of the baseball team on the player's side grows by being given an ability value at any time through the pennant trace.

  In this case, the upper limit value of the ability value is determined for each character, and when the ability value acquired through the pennant trace reaches the upper limit value, the ability value cannot be increased any more.

  Therefore, an awakening point indicating a difference between the current ability value of each character and the upper limit value of the ability value is provided. Thereby, the player can recognize how much the ability value can be increased for each character by referring to the awakening point. Also, by introducing awakening points, even if a character has a low current ability value, if you continue to use it in the pennant race, you can get many ability values, and continue to use characters with low ability values. Motivation to do so can be given to the player. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a character having a low ability value from being used.

  By the way, it often happens that the ability value of the character to be grown cannot be increased so much during the growth period. In this case, there is a situation in which the character to be grown is hardly used in the pennant trace because the ability value is low even though it has been grown with much effort. In this case, the original purpose of the game in which the character is grown in advance and the character is allowed to participate in the pennant race cannot be achieved.

  Therefore, the ability value calculation unit 303 assigns many awakening points to characters that have not acquired many ability values during the growth period. That is, the ability value calculation unit 303 gives more awakening points as the ability value of the character to be grown at the end of the growth period decreases.

  In the present embodiment, the ability value is roughly divided into basic items and spirits items, and has two items. Therefore, the awakening point is also calculated individually for each of the basic item and the spirits item.

  Specifically, the ability value calculation unit 303 obtains the total value A1 of the integration values AP1 of the basic items calculated by the ability value integration unit 305. Here, when the character to be grown is a fielder, there are integrated values AP11 to AP13 of attack power, defense power, and running power as the integrated value AP1 of the basic items, so the total value A1 is A1 = AP11 + AP12 + AP13. On the other hand, when the character to be grown is a pitcher, there are pitcher, stamina, mental, and ball type accumulated values AP14 to AP17 as the accumulated value AP1 of the basic items, so the total value A1 is A1 = AP14 + AP15 + AP16 + AP17.

  Then, the ability value calculation unit 303 determines the basic item awake point KP1 using a table in which the relationship between the total value A1 and the basic item awake point KP1 is set in advance.

  On the other hand, the ability value calculation unit 303 uses a table in which the relationship between the integration value AP2 of the spirit item calculated by the ability value integration unit 305 and the awakening point KP2 of the spirit item is used in advance, and the awakening point KP2 of the spirit item. To decide.

  As a result, even if a character has failed to acquire a skill value during the growth period, many awakening points are given to the character, so motivation to use that character in the pennant race Can be given to players.

  In step S23, the ability value correcting unit 304 specifies the correction coefficient for the awakening point calculated by the ability value calculating unit 303 with reference to the correction table shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, and the specified correction coefficient Use to correct the waking point. Then, the ability value correction unit 304 causes the character information storage unit 403 to store the corrected awakening point.

  For example, it is assumed that the character to be grown has been grown in the early maturity mode. Then, the ability value correction unit 304 sets the correction coefficient (= 0.7) for the basic item and the correction coefficient (= 1) for the spirit item stored in the awakening setting column of the correction table for the precocious mode in FIG. .0). Then, the basic item awake point KP1 is multiplied by 0.7 to correct the basic item awake point KP1 to calculate the awake point KP1 ′. Also, the awakening point KP2 of the spirits item is corrected by multiplying the awakening point KP2 of the spirits item by 1.0, and the awakening point KP2 ′ of the spirits item is calculated.

  In step S <b> 24, the control unit 300 sets the appearance of the character to be grown according to the operation command input from the player. Here, as the setting items of the appearance, there are, for example, the height, weight, skin color, hair style, and the like of the character to be grown. Next, the control unit 300 stores the set appearance data in the character information storage unit 403 (step S25).

  In the above description, one game is one event, but one or several innings of one game may be one event, or a plurality of games may be one event. In the above description, a baseball game is adopted as an event. For example, defensive practice, pitching practice, batting practice, or the like may be adopted as an event. Moreover, in the growth period, a configuration is adopted in which the game is repeated to grow the character, but a configuration in which the game is grown by repeating the game and practice may be adopted. In this case, one practice and one game are one event.

  In the above description, a baseball game has been described as an example. However, the present invention is applicable to any game that can develop characters such as a soccer game, an American football game, and a tennis game. Can be provided.

  For example, in the case of a soccer game, one game may be one event, the first half may be one event, and the second half may be one event. In addition to the sport game, the present invention may be applied to a role playing game in which various trials are imposed on the character and the character is trained through the trial. In this case, the player may set the growth mode at the start of the game, and one or a predetermined number of trials may be set as one event.
