A game progressed in the game system 1 has a game part as a core and a room function. The core game part is a game that allows a user to proceed with a game scenario by operating a player character. For example, an action RPG (rolling game), RTS (Real-time Strategy), FPS (First-Person) (Shooter). In the present embodiment, the room function will be described in detail. 6, 10, 14, and 15 are flowcharts illustrating an example of a processing flow executed in the game system 1. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the room. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the first view mode by the virtual camera. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the action of the character controlled in the first mode in the room. 11 to 13 are diagrams for explaining the second view mode by the virtual camera. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the room after renovation. FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the movement of the character controlled in the second mode in the room after renovation.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when a user starts a game using the user terminal 100, the control unit 110 requests user information and game information for starting the game from the game server 200 (S101). The user information includes an identifier (user ID) for identifying the user. When the game server 200 receives this via the network 2 and the communication IF 23, the receiving unit 211 executes a process of receiving this (S201). The game processing unit 212 refers to the storage unit 220 and, after the data management unit 213 updates the user management table as necessary, specifies the latest user information and game information corresponding to the user. The control unit 210 transmits this to the user terminal 100 (S202), and when the user terminal 100 receives this, the game processing unit 112 updates the user information and game information as necessary, and then the user information and game. A process for starting the game is executed using the information (S102).

  When the action receiving unit 111 receives an instruction to process the room function from the user, the room control unit 114 refers to the game information and the user information (room information), and is associated with each room, whereby the character placed in the room And an object is specified (S103). As a result, the room outline information shown in FIG. In each of the rooms Ro1 to Ro6, displays H1 to H6 for displaying characters associated with the room are displayed in association with the rooms Ro1 to Ro6. The display H1 displays the character A associated with the room Ro1, the display H2 displays the character B associated with the room Ro2, the display H3 displays the character C associated with the room Ro3, and the display H5. The character D associated with the room Ro5 is displayed. Since no character is associated with the rooms Ro4 and Ro6, a display e indicating that the rooms are vacant is attached.

  Next, three-dimensional information of the room is generated for editing or observing each room. The three-dimensional information of the room is generated by the room control unit 114 referring to the room information. As shown in FIG. 8, the room control unit 114 first generates a ceiling Ce, a floor Fl, and walls W1 to W4 as three-dimensional components of the room (S104). The ceiling Ce and the floor Fl extend along the horizontal direction, and are arranged to face each other in the vertical direction. The walls W1 to W4 extend along the vertical direction between the ceiling Ce and the floor Fl. Further, in the horizontal direction, the wall W1 and the wall W2, the wall W2 and the wall W3, the wall W3 and the wall W4, and the wall W4 and the wall W1 are arranged at an angle so as to intersect with each other. W3, the wall W2, and the wall W4 are arranged in parallel so as to face each other.

  The room control unit 114 places an object and a character in the room based on the room information (S105). For example, since the character A and the chair are associated with the room Ro1, the object O corresponding to the character A and the chair is arranged on the floor Fl of the room Ro1.

  Here, when the user changes the furniture arrangement on the room overview screen in FIG. 7, the action accepting unit 111 accepts this, and the game processing unit 112 advances the object arrangement editing mode (Y in S106). In the object arrangement edit mode, the virtual camera C1 in the first view mode is designated as a virtual camera that defines a game image to be displayed on the display unit 152 by the camera control unit 116. Thereby, the virtual camera is set to the first view mode (S107). As shown in FIG. 8, it is preferable that the virtual camera C1 is arranged outside the room so that the room can be seen from the room. Specifically, the virtual camera C1 is arranged outside the area closed by the ceiling Ce, the floor Fl, and the walls W1 to W4. It is preferred that In addition, when any one of the ceiling Ce, the floor Fl, and the walls W1 to W4 is displayed in an overlapping manner, the ceiling Ce, the floor Fl, and the wall W1 disposed on the near side as viewed from the virtual camera C1. It is preferable to perform a process of transmitting any one of? W4 so that any one of the ceiling Ce, the floor Fl, and the walls W1 to W4 disposed on the back side is displayed in a visible manner. Thereby, the virtual camera C1 can generate a game image in which the inside of the area closed by the ceiling Ce, the floor Fl, and the walls W1 to W4 is viewed in the first view mode. Note that the position and angle of the virtual camera C1 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction may be changeable by a user action, and any of the ceiling Ce, the floor Fl, and the walls W1 to W4 to be transmitted is changed by this change. May be processed.

  In the object arrangement editing mode, the arrangement of the object O arranged in the room can be changed or a new object can be arranged by the user action. For example, the user can select the object O as an object whose arrangement is to be changed by long-pressing the arranged object O, and can then move the object O by designating a new arrangement area and arrangement coordinates. When the editing of the object arrangement is completed (Y in S108), room information regarding the edited room is transmitted to the game server 200 (S109). When the reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives this (S203), the data management unit 214 updates the user management table based on the room information (S204).

  In the room overview screen of FIG. 7, when the user specifies entry, the action accepting unit 111 accepts this, and the game processing unit 112 advances the observation mode (N in S106). In the observation mode, the camera control unit 116 designates the virtual cameras C2-A to D in the second view mode as virtual cameras. Thereby, the virtual camera is set to the second view mode (S110). As shown in FIG. 8, the virtual cameras C2-A to D are preferably arranged in the room so that the room can be observed from the same line of sight as the character A. Specifically, the virtual camera C2-A has a wall W1.

  Next, the character control unit 115 controls the movement of the character placed in the room in the first mode. Specifically, the character control unit 115 controls the character motion so as to go around the object placed in the room (S111). FIG. 9 shows a sketch of the room Ro1 and the room Ro2 as viewed from above. In the room Ro1, a character A and objects O1 to O3 are arranged. In the room Ro2, a character B and objects O4 to O6 are arranged. The character control unit 115 controls the character motion so that the character A circulates the objects O1 to O3 in order. In addition, the character control unit 115 controls the character motion so that the character B cycles around the objects O4 to O6 in order. Note that the character control unit 115 may perform control so that the character circulates the object according to a predetermined regularity, or may control the character to circulate at random.

  The operation of the virtual camera C2 in the second view mode by the camera control unit 116 will be described with reference to FIGS. When entry is selected on the room overview screen shown in FIG. 7, the operation of the virtual camera is switched from the first view mode to the second view mode in the furniture layout. As shown in FIG. 10, the camera control unit 116 first determines the arrangement position of the virtual camera C2. The virtual camera C2 in the second view mode of the present embodiment is arranged in an intersecting region in the vicinity of the inside of the portion where the two walls in the room intersect with each other as described above within a plane including the horizontal direction (S112). ). The virtual cameras C2 do not have to be arranged in all the intersecting areas in the room, but are opposed to each other (on a diagonal line) in order to allow the room to be observed so that the blind spot D (see FIG. 12) does not occur as much as possible. ) It is preferably arranged in at least two intersecting regions. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 13, it is preferable that the arrangement position of the virtual camera C2 in the vertical direction is also determined. Specifically, it is preferable that the virtual camera C2 is disposed at a position in the range of 1/6 to 1/2 of the ceiling Ce and the floor Fl in the direction from the floor Fl to the ceiling Ce. In order to observe the room Ro1 with almost the same line of sight as the character A, it is preferable that the virtual camera C2 is arranged in a half or less of the above range. Further, for example, when the character A is a girl character, it is not preferable that an angle that looks into the character from below is displayed on the display unit 152. It is preferable that the virtual camera C2 is arranged at a position of 1/3 or more.

  Next, the camera control unit 116 sets the visual field range of the virtual camera C2 (S113). In the present embodiment, the visual field range of the virtual camera C2 in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction is set for each of the plurality of virtual cameras C2 arranged in the room Ro1. 11 and 12 are diagrams illustrating an example of a method for setting the visual field range in the horizontal direction of the virtual camera C2. In the present embodiment, the virtual camera C <b> 2 has a predetermined visual field, and a range included in the visual field is defined as a game image displayed on the display unit 152. The virtual camera C2 is preferably capable of translating and rotating the virtual camera C2 by a user action (for example, a user's slide operation on the touch panel 15). First, as shown in FIG. 12, when the virtual camera C2 moves in parallel, the visual field range that is the visual field movement range defined by the virtual camera C2 is the range of the trajectory that moves in the range in which the visual field can be translated. It corresponds to.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, the visual field range when the virtual camera is rotated at both ends of the range in which the virtual camera C2 can be translated is considered. In the present embodiment, when the virtual camera C2 is rotated in the horizontal direction (with the vertical direction as an axis), only one of the two walls W1 and W2 constituting the intersecting region where the virtual camera C2 is disposed is included. Can be included in the field of view. Thereby, the user can observe each wall 1 and wall W2 easily by rotating virtual camera C2. Thereby, the object arrange | positioned on the wall and the character which acts on the wall can be observed suitably. In this case, the visual field range is, for example, that the virtual camera C2-A is most parallel to the wall W2 side from the visual field when the virtual camera C2-A is translated to the most wall W1 side and rotated to the most wall W1 side. Of the trajectory range of the visual field that moves and moves to the visual field when it is rotated most toward the wall W2, it corresponds to the inner range of the wall W1 and the wall W2.

  The same applies to the visual field range of the virtual camera C2 that can be placed in the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 13, the visual field range is, for example, that the virtual camera C2-A is the most floored from the visual field when the virtual camera C2-A is translated most toward the ceiling Ce side and rotated most toward the ceiling Ce side. This corresponds to the range inside the ceiling Ce and the floor Fl in the trajectory range of the visual field that moves parallel to the Fl side and moves to the visual field when it is most rotated to the floor Fl side.

  In addition, when the virtual camera is not moved by the user action but is only rotated, the trajectory range of the visual field when the virtual camera is rotated from the maximum rotation angle to the minimum rotation angle in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, respectively. A range inside the walls W1 and W2 and inside the ceiling Ce and the floor Fl is set as the visual field range.

  Next, the camera control unit 116 determines a virtual camera C2 that actually generates a game image from among the virtual cameras C2-A to D (S114). In this embodiment, every time a user action input via the input unit 151 is received, the virtual camera C <b> 2 that generates a game image is set to be sequentially switched to the virtual cameras C <b> 2 -A to D.

  Then, the camera control unit 116 sets the position and angle of the virtual camera C2 determined to generate the game image based on the user action (S115). In the present embodiment, when the user inputs a slide operation in the vertical direction to the room Ro in the game image displayed on the display unit 152, the virtual camera C2 is set to translate or rotate in the vertical direction. When a slide operation is input in the horizontal direction, the virtual camera C2 is set to translate or rotate in the horizontal direction. When translation and rotation of the virtual camera C2 are allowed, the virtual camera C2 is rotated when a slide operation is further input after reaching the both ends of the range in which the virtual camera can move in parallel. It may be set. Note that only the operation of rotating the virtual camera C2 in the direction in which the user action is input may be permitted.

  When the position and angle of the virtual camera C2 are set in this way, the camera control unit 116 defines a field of view at the position and angle, and outputs a game image specified by the field of view to the display unit 152. The generation unit 117 is instructed. The game image generated by the image generation unit 117 is output and displayed on the display unit 152 so that the user can visually recognize it. (S116)

  Next, a game progress process when a room is rebuilt under the control of the room control unit 114 will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, the action accepting unit 111 accepts a user action for selecting a plurality of rooms for generating a renovated room (S117). For example, after the user inputs a user action so as to select the extension / remodeling mode, when the room Ro1 and the room Ro2 are selected as a plurality of rooms, one remodeling room is generated from the two rooms. To be processed.

  Here, the room control unit 114 refers to the storage unit 120, identifies room information regarding each of the rooms Ro1, Ro2, and identifies an object and a character placed in the renovation room (S118). In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a chair that is an object associated with the room Ro1 and a chandelier and a poster that are objects associated with the room Ro2 are specified as objects arranged in the renovation room. In addition, a character A that is a character associated with the room Ro1 and a character B that is a character associated with the room Ro2 are specified as characters arranged in the renovation room.

  As a result, the renovation room CR is generated as shown in FIG. 16, and the objects and characters associated with the rooms Ro1 and Ro2 are associated with the renovation room CR (S119). The control unit 110 transmits room information regarding the remodeled room CR to the game server 200 (S120), and when the reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives the room information (S205), the data management unit 214 controls the user management table. The user's room information is updated (S206).

  The subsequent control of the virtual camera and character by the camera control unit 116 and the character control unit 115 is the same as S105 to S111 in FIG. 6, but in this embodiment, the character motion control mode in the room observation mode is different. . When the virtual camera C2 is set to the second view mode (S121), the character control unit 115 refers to the room information, and the objects O1, O3 arranged in the room Ro1 as objects arranged in the renovated room CR, And the objects O4 and O5 arranged in the room Ro2 are specified. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that a shared object SO is arranged instead of the objects O2 and O6 (see FIG. 17). In this case, the character control unit 115 controls the character motion based on the second mode that is the character motion control mode in the renovation room (S122).

  First, the determination unit 113 determines whether or not a plurality of characters are arranged in the renovation room CR (S123). In the present embodiment, since the characters A and B associated with the rooms Ro1 and Ro2 are associated with the renovation room CR, it is determined that a plurality of characters are arranged (Y in S123).

  Next, the determination unit 113 determines whether or not a shared object SO shared by a plurality of characters is arranged in the remodeling room CR (S124). In the present embodiment, the determination unit 113 refers to the object information stored in the storage unit 120 for the shared object SO arranged in the renovation room CR, and the object is set as a shared object as illustrated in FIG. If it is, it is determined that the shared object SO is arranged (Y in S124). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the shared object SO is, for example, a double bed.

  FIG. 17 shows a sketch of the renovated room CR as seen from above. The character control unit 115 controls the character motion so that the character A cycles through the objects O1, O3 associated with the room Ro1 and the shared object SO in order. In addition, the character control unit 115 controls the character motion so that the character B cycles through the objects O4 and O5 associated with the room Ro2 and the shared object SO in order. Note that the character control unit 115 may perform control so that the character A circulates the objects O4 and O5 associated with the room Ro2 in addition to the above, and the character B is associated with the room Ro1 in addition to the above. Alternatively, the objects O1 and O3 may be controlled so as to circulate.

  Here, the determination unit 113 determines whether or not the characters A and B have reached the shared object SO at the same timing (S125). Each of the characters A and B is controlled so as to stay on each object for a predetermined time and perform a predetermined action in the process of circulating around the object along a predetermined route. Therefore, in this embodiment, when at least a part of the stay times of the characters A and B on the shared object SO overlaps, it is determined that the characters A and B have reached the shared object SO at the same timing.

  If the determination unit 113 determines that the characters A and B have reached the shared object SO at the same timing (Y in S125), the character control unit 115 causes a shared event to be executed (S126). For example, when the shared object SO is a double bed, the shared event may be an operation in which the characters A and B touch each other on the double bed.

  In this manner, the character control unit 115 controls the movements of the characters A and B in the remodeled room CR in the second mode. The second mode is, for example, an operation of patroling an object associated with the room Ro1 or the room Ro2 before the reconstruction where the character A or B is not associated, or generating a shared event on the shared object SO. It is an operation to do. As described above, the game performance in the room function can be improved by changing the character motion before and after the reconstruction based on the object mode (associated room information, shared information, etc.).

  When the renovated room CR is generated, the camera control unit 116 changes the control mode of the virtual camera C2 in the second view mode as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, before renovation, the virtual camera C2 is arranged in an intersecting region where two walls in each of the rooms Ro1 and Ro2 intersect each other (S128). When the remodeling room CR is generated in this state as shown in FIG. 17 (S129), the camera control unit 116 rearranges the virtual cameras CR2-A to D in the intersecting region where the two walls of the remodeling room CR intersect each other. (S130). Then, similarly to steps S113 to S116 in FIG. 10, based on the setting of the visual field range of the virtual cameras CR2-A to D (S131), the determination of the virtual camera CR that generates the game image (S132), and the user action, The determined position / field of view of the virtual camera CR2 is set (S133), and game image generation (S134) is executed based on the field of view. Thereby, even if it is a case where the extension / remodeling function of a room is employ | adopted, the virtual camera which provides a 2nd view mode suitably can be arrange | positioned easily.
