  In the above prior art, the speed at which the party moves is changed based on the level of the party. However, the change in the moving speed only affects the shortening of the moving time on the field and the avoidance of the battle with the enemy object, and does not affect the battle. Therefore, there is room for improvement in terms of interest given to the player.

  SUMMARY An advantage of some aspects of the invention is that it provides a game program and a game apparatus that can provide a highly entertaining game to a player.

  A game program according to one aspect of the present invention is a game program for starting a battle by moving a party composed of a plurality of characters on a field in a virtual space and satisfying a predetermined condition with an enemy object. Means for setting the movement speed of each of the characters, means for instructing the movement speed of the party, and when the instructed movement speed is the movement speed of the character, If the character moves at a speed that is not the movable speed of the character, there is a means for moving the character at the movable speed, and there is the character that is at least a predetermined distance from the party reference position when starting a battle. In the case where the character is far away from the battle It means for beginning to function as.

  A game apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention is a game apparatus that starts a battle by moving a party composed of a plurality of characters on a field in a virtual space and satisfying a predetermined condition with an enemy object. Means for setting the movement possible speed of each character, means for instructing the movement speed of the party, and when the designated movement speed is the movement possible speed of the character, the designated movement speed of the character If the character is not at the movable speed of the character, there is a means for moving the character at the movable speed and the character that is separated from the party reference position by a predetermined distance or more when starting a battle. Means for initiating a battle in a disadvantageous state compared to when the distant character is not present. That.

  By configuring in this way, when the moving speed instructed by the player is faster than the moving speed of any of the characters that make up the party, the corresponding character can be moved at the moving speed. When there is a character that is a predetermined distance or more away from the party reference position, the battle can be started in a more disadvantageous state than when there is no separated character.

  The computer may further function as a means for making the character that is a predetermined distance or more away from the party reference position unable to participate in the battle.

  Further, when the character that cannot participate in the battle is present within the second predetermined distance from the reference position of the enemy object, the computer may further function as means for adding to the target that is damaged by the attack of the enemy object. .

  The computer may further function as means for setting the party row, and means for moving the party while maintaining the set row.

  The computer may further function as means for notifying the character that is a predetermined distance or more away from the party reference position.

  Further, when the instructed moving speed is the speed at which the character delayed from the party can move, the computer further functions as means for gradually catching up the character delayed from the party concerned to the party. It is good.

  According to the present invention, a highly entertaining game can be provided to a player.

However, the embodiment described below is merely an example, and there is no intention to exclude various modifications and technical applications that are not explicitly described below. That is, the present invention can be implemented with various modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  First, a schematic configuration of the game apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. A game device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is an arcade game machine installed in an amusement facility or the like. In the present embodiment, an arcade game machine will be described as an example, but a game apparatus applicable to the present invention is not limited to this. The game device can be applied to computers such as a home game machine, a smartphone, a tablet PC (Personal Computer), and a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). When a smartphone, tablet PC, PDA, or the like is used as a game device, application software (game program) is downloaded from an application server (not shown) and installed.

  The game apparatus 1 is configured to be able to communicate with a game server (not shown) via a communication network. This communication network may be a wireless network or a wired network. Examples of communication networks include wireless LAN, infrared communication, 3G, WiMax (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), c. Examples of the network include Link (registered trademark), HDMI (registered trademark), wired LAN, telephone line, mobile phone network, PHS network, power line network, IEEE 1394, and the like.

  The game device 1 includes, as a physical configuration, for example, a control device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a storage device, an output device, an input device, and a communication interface.

  Examples of storage devices include flash memory, SRAM (Static Random Access Memory), hard disk drive (HDD), and the like. Examples of the output device include a display 2 and a speaker. The display 2 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display, a PDP (plasma display panel), an HMD (head mounted display), and the like. As an example of the input device, there are an operation device 3, a touch pad and a touch panel provided in the display 2, a card reader 4 for reading game card data, and the like. The operation device 3 includes, for example, direction keys, buttons, analog sticks, levers, steering, and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the game apparatus 1 includes, for example, a communication processing unit 11 that controls communication and an information processing unit 12 that controls calculation of information and the like as functional configurations. For example, a game program, player information, game information, and the like are stored in the storage unit 13.

  For example, the communication processing unit 11 controls communication with the game server, and controls player authentication processing and transmission / reception of data related to the game.

  The information processing unit 12 executes a game program in accordance with a user operation instruction or the like. The basic processing contents of the game program executed by the information processing unit 12 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, a case where the character is a person will be described as an example, but the character is not limited to this. As the character, for example, a ship, a car, an airplane, or the like can be employed.

  First, the player selects a plurality of characters constituting the player party and selects a field to be dispatched, thereby starting field movement by the player party (step S101). The information processing unit 12 sets one character specified by the player among the plurality of characters selected by the player as the leader character of the player party.

  Subsequently, when the player's direction and speed of the player party are instructed by the player, the information processing unit 12 executes a process of moving the player party according to the instructed direction and speed of the player party (step S102). The player party platoon when moving in the field is selected by an operation instruction from the player and can be arbitrarily set. Examples of the formation include a horizontal one-line type, a vertical one-line type, and a V-shaped type.

  For each character, for example, six levels of speed from the first speed to the sixth speed are set in advance. The first speed is the slowest speed, and the sixth speed is the fastest speed. Here, for example, a speed common to each character is set for the first to fourth speeds, and a speed corresponding to the ability of each character is individually set for the fifth and sixth speeds. To do. The speed of the entire player party is controlled based on six stages of speed preset for the leader character.

  Here, when the player instructs a speed from the first speed to the fourth speed as the speed of the player party, the characters constituting the player party are controlled at a common speed. As a result, the player party The field will be moved while maintaining.

  On the other hand, when the player instructs 5th speed or 6th speed as the speed of the player party, each character constituting the player party has an upper limit (maximum moving speed) set for the individual speed set for each character. ) Is controlled to move at a speed set for the leader character. As a result, a character for which a speed slower than the speed set for the leader character is gradually delayed from the player party. That is, the player party moves in the field while breaking the formation. Details of the speed set for each character will be described later.

  Subsequently, when reconnaissance is instructed by the player (step S103; YES), the information processing unit 12 uses a reconnaissance skill that can be used by some characters to search for the presence or absence of an enemy or a position. Execute (Step S104). When a plurality of characters constituting the player party can use the reconnaissance skill, the player can arbitrarily select a character using the reconnaissance skill.

  Subsequently, when it is determined that the player party has found an enemy and has contacted the enemy party (enemy object) (step S105; YES), the information processing unit 12 switches the game screen to the battle screen and performs a battle. Processing is executed (step S106).

  Subsequently, when it is determined that the battle end condition is satisfied (step S107; YES), the information processing unit 12 ends the battle process (step S108).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the speed set to each character which comprises a player party is demonstrated concretely. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating speed setting when the player party is composed of five characters A, B, C, D, and E. Among the speeds of the characters A, B, C, D, and E, a common speed is set for each of the first to fourth speeds, and different speeds are set for each of the fifth and sixth speeds.

  For example, when the character C is set as the leader character among the five characters, the speed of the entire player party is “5” for the first speed, “6” for the second speed, The speed is “7”, the fourth speed is “8”, the fifth speed is “12”, and the sixth speed is “15”.

  In this example, when the speed designated by the player is 1st to 4th, the characters A, B, C, D, and E are “5”, “6”, and “7”, respectively, according to the designated speed. "Move at a speed of" 8 ". If the player party row selected at this time is a horizontal row type, characters A, B, C, D, and E are displayed in the field while maintaining the horizontal row type as illustrated in FIG. Will move.

  On the other hand, when the speed instructed by the player is the fifth speed, the characters A, B, and C in which the maximum moving speed at the fifth speed is set to “12” or more are respectively “12” according to the instructed speed. Move at speed. However, since the maximum movement speed at the fifth speed is set to be less than “12”, the characters D and E move at the speeds “11” and “10” which are the maximum movement speeds, respectively. As a result, the characters D and E for which the speed slower than the speed set for the fifth speed of the leader character C is set to the fifth speed are gradually delayed from the player party. At this time, the characters D and E may move at a speed at which each character can move (movable speed) instead of the maximum moving speed.

  If the player party row selected at this time is a horizontal row type, characters A, B, C, D, and E move in the field while collapsing the horizontal row type row as illustrated in FIG. Will do.

  Further, when the speed instructed by the player is 6th, the characters A, B, and C whose maximum moving speed at 6th speed is set to “15” or more are respectively “15” according to the instructed speed. Move at speed. However, since the maximum movement speed at the sixth speed is set to be less than “15”, the characters D and E move at the speeds “13” and “11” which are the maximum movement speeds, respectively. As a result, the characters D and E for which the speed slower than the speed set to the sixth speed of the leader character C is set to the sixth speed are gradually delayed from the player party.

  In FIG. 4, the speed difference at the sixth speed between the leader character C and the characters D and E is set to be larger than the speed difference at the fifth speed. Accordingly, the speed at which the characters D and E are delayed from the player party is faster at the sixth speed than at the fifth speed. As a result, at the sixth speed, the characters A, B, C, D, and E move in the field while breaking the formation at a faster pace than at the fifth speed.

  Next, processing executed when the character is delayed from the player party among processing executed by the information processing unit 12 will be described.

  The information processing unit 12 puts a character that is delayed a first predetermined distance or more from the reference position of the player party into a state where it cannot participate in the battle. The state where the player cannot participate in the battle is a state where the enemy party does not attack and does not attack the enemy party. Examples of the reference position of the player party include the center position of the player party row and the position of the leader character of the player party. Examples of the first predetermined distance include a radius of a circular frame f (see FIGS. 5 and 6) surrounding the player party. This circular frame f may be a frame used when determining whether or not the player party has come into contact with the enemy party at the start of the battle, or is a frame that is separately displayed to allow the player to recognize the first predetermined distance. May be.

  The information processing unit 12 notifies the player of characters that cannot participate in the battle when a character that cannot participate in the battle occurs. The notification to the player can be performed by changing the display content of the icon of each character displayed on the display 2, for example. Further, the presence of a character that has reached a state where it cannot participate in the battle may be notified by voice output from a speaker.

  When there is a character that cannot participate in the battle within the second predetermined distance from the reference position of the enemy party, the information processing unit 12 adds the character to a target that is damaged by the attack of the enemy party. The reference position of the enemy party includes, for example, the center position of the enemy party row, the position of the leader character of the enemy party, and the like. Examples of the second predetermined distance include a radius of a circular frame surrounding the periphery of the enemy party. This circular frame may be a frame used when determining whether or not the player party has come into contact with the enemy party at the start of the battle, or is a frame that is separately displayed to make the player recognize the second predetermined distance. Also good.

  As described above, according to the game device 1 of the embodiment, when the speed instructed by the player is faster than the speed of any character constituting the player party, the corresponding character is gradually delayed from the player party. When a battle is started, if there is a character that is more than the first predetermined distance from the reference position of the player party, the battle can be started in a state where the character cannot participate in the battle. Further, when there is a character that cannot participate in the battle within the second predetermined distance from the reference position of the enemy party, it can be added to a target that is damaged by the attack of the enemy party.

  Specifically, when the speed of the player party is increased to the fifth speed or the sixth speed, a character that is delayed from the player party is generated, and the character that is delayed more than a certain amount cannot participate in the battle. Can be a target of damage. Therefore, increasing the speed of the player party is an effective means when approaching the enemy party or escaping from the enemy party. On the other hand, if the speed is increased too much, it will lead to a disadvantageous situation during the battle. Thereby, it becomes possible to exert an influence on the battle by the moving speed of the player party.

  Therefore, according to the game device 1 in the embodiment, it is possible to provide a highly interesting game to the player.

[Modification]
In the above-described embodiment, when the speed instructed by the player is changed from the first speed to the fourth speed after the character delayed from the player party is generated, the speed of the delayed character is changed to the fifth speed or the sixth speed. It is good also as moving at the set speed. Further, when the player party row is changed after the character delayed from the party is generated, the speed of the player party may be moved lower than the speed of the delayed character. By performing these controls, it becomes possible to gradually catch up with the player party a character that has been delayed from the player party.

  In the above-described embodiment, the character that is delayed for the first predetermined distance or more from the reference position of the player party is in a state where it cannot participate in the battle, but is not limited to a state where it cannot participate in the battle. What is necessary is just to be able to put the character delayed for the first predetermined distance or more into a disadvantageous state for the player party, for example, to participate in the middle of the battle or to reduce the attack power. Further, the timing at which the delayed character participates from the middle of the battle or the rate of decrease in the attack power may be changed according to the delayed distance. For example, as the delayed character moves away from the reference position of the player party, the timing of participating from the middle of the battle may be delayed, or the attack power reduction rate may be increased.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the condition for making it impossible to participate in the battle is that the character is delayed by a first predetermined distance or more from the reference position of the player party. The condition may be that the distance is greater than or equal to the first predetermined distance.

  In the above-described embodiment, the description has been made using the player party contacting the enemy party as a condition for starting the battle. However, the battle start condition is not limited to this, and a predetermined condition with the enemy party is used. It just needs to be satisfied. For example, a battle start condition may be that a player party is found by an enemy party.
