You may distribute. Use of the information storage medium by such a server system can also be included in the scope of the present invention.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a server system 500 (or terminal device TM) as a game system includes a game element information storage unit 672 (game element information storage unit 172), a game element processing unit 612 (game element). A processing unit 112) and a display processing unit 620 (display processing unit 120). In the following description, the case where the game system of the present embodiment is realized by the server system 500 will be mainly described as an example. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and the game system is realized by the terminal device TM or the server. You may implement | achieve by the distributed process of the system 500 and the terminal device TM.

  The game element information storage unit 672 (game element information storage unit 172, hereinafter the same) stores information on game elements used by the player in the game. A game element processing unit 612 (game element processing unit 112; the same applies hereinafter), and a change process is performed on a game element constituted by characteristic elements. For example, a change process that is at least one of a process of adding a new feature element and a process of changing an existing feature element is performed on the game elements (first and second game elements). The feature element addition processing is performed by the addition processing unit 613 (113), and the feature element change processing is performed by the change processing unit 614 (114). A display processing unit 620 (display processing unit 120, hereinafter the same) performs a game element display process. For example, a process of displaying a game element as a display object on the display unit is performed.

  In this embodiment, the game element processing unit 612 (112) performs the first change process (first addition process, first change) as the change process (addition process, change process) for the first game element. Process), the second game element is a change process corresponding to (linked to) the first change process and is different from the first change process (second change process) Addition process, second change process). For example, when the change process of the first game element is performed, the game element processing unit 612 also performs the change process on the second game element in conjunction with the change process. The change process corresponding to the first change process is, for example, a change process linked to the first change process in this way. For example, when the game element processing unit 612 performs a process of adding a new feature element to the first game element, the feature element is also linked to the second game element in conjunction with the process. A process of adding a corresponding feature element corresponding to is performed. In addition, when a process for changing an existing feature element of the first game element (a process for damaging or missing the feature element, etc.) is performed, the existing corresponding feature element of the second game element is linked with this process. A process of changing (a process of damaging or missing the corresponding feature element, etc.) is performed. Alternatively, when a feature element addition process is performed on the first game element, the feature element change process of the second game element may be performed in conjunction with the process. Alternatively, when the characteristic element change process of the first game element is performed, the characteristic element addition process may be performed on the second game element in conjunction with the process.

  In the present embodiment, in these change processes, when the first change process is performed on the first game element, a second change process different from that is applied to the second game element. Do. For example, the link information storage unit 674 (174) stores link information that associates the feature elements of the first game element and the corresponding feature elements of the second game element. By using this link information, it is possible to realize a process of changing the feature elements of the first and second game elements in conjunction with each other.

  Here, the first and second game elements are elements used by the player in the game, and are display objects displayed on the game screen. For example, the first and second game elements are display objects that are components of the game screen. The characteristic elements are constituent elements of the first and second game elements. For example, the characteristic element is an object constituting the first and second game elements that are display objects. More preferably, the characteristic element is a three-dimensional object constituting the first and second game elements that are display objects. In the first and second game element change processing, a new feature element (new object) is added to the first and second game elements, or an existing feature element (existing object) is changed. It is processing. The feature element addition process is, for example, a process of registering the feature element in the game element information storage unit 672 (172) as a feature element constituting the first and second game elements. The feature element changing process is, for example, a process of changing attribute information (image information, shape information, various parameters) of the feature element. In the present embodiment, the addition process and the change process are performed in different addition modes and change modes in the first and second game elements.

  For example, it is assumed that the game element processing unit 612 performs a process of adding a feature element in the first addition mode on the first game element as the first change process. In this case, as a second change process, the game element processing unit 112 performs a process of adding a corresponding feature element to the second game element in a second additional mode different from the first additional mode. That is, when a feature element addition process is performed on the first game element, a corresponding feature element addition process is also performed on the second game element in conjunction with this. The addition mode of the feature elements in is different from the addition mode of the corresponding feature elements in the second game element.

  Specifically, when the game element processing unit 612 performs a process of adding M feature elements to the first game element as the first change process, A process of adding N corresponding feature elements to the two game elements is performed. Here, M and N are different natural numbers. That is, the number (M) of feature elements to be added to the first game element is different from the number (N) of feature elements to be added to the second game element, and the additional number as an additional mode is different. In addition, the process which changes an additional aspect is not limited to a process from which such additional number differs. For example, a process of making attribute information (image information, shape information, category information, etc.) different between a feature element added in the first game element and a corresponding feature element added in the second game element. Also good.

  Further, it is assumed that the game element processing unit 612 performs a process of changing the feature element of the first game element in the first change mode as the first change process. In this case, the game element processing unit 612 performs a process of changing the corresponding feature element of the second game element in a second change mode different from the first change mode as the second change process. That is, when the change process of the feature element of the first game element is performed, the change process of the corresponding feature element of the second game element is performed in conjunction with this, but the feature element of the first game element is changed. The change mode is different from the change mode of the corresponding feature element in the second game element.

  Specifically, the game element processing unit 612 performs the second change process when the process of changing the attribute information of the feature element of the first game element in the first change mode is performed as the first change process. As described above, a process of changing the attribute information of the corresponding feature element of the second game element in a second change mode different from the first change mode is performed. For example, when the first type attribute information of a feature element is changed in the first game element, the second game element performs a process of changing the second type attribute information of the corresponding feature element. Alternatively, when a change process is performed in which the attribute information of the feature element is changed by the first change amount in the first game element, the attribute information of the corresponding feature element in the second game element is the first change amount. A change process is performed for changing with a different second change amount.

  Here, the attribute information of the feature element is, for example, image information (color, texture, etc.), shape information (polygon information), category information, etc. of the object that is the feature element. For example, by changing the first and second changing processes, the change in the image of the feature element of the first game element and the change in the image of the corresponding feature element of the second game element become different. Note that the process of changing the feature element change mode is not limited to such a process of changing the feature element attribute information change process. For example, it may be a process for differentiating information other than feature element attribute information.

  In addition, when the game element processing unit 612 performs, as the first change process, one of a process for adding a feature element and a process for changing a feature element in the first game element, the second change process is performed. As the process, the other process different from the one in the second game element is performed. For example, when a process for adding a new feature element is performed in the first game element, a process for changing an existing feature element is performed in the second game element. Alternatively, when a process for changing an existing feature element is performed in the first game element, a process for adding a new feature element is performed in the second game element.

  Further, the first change process and the second change process are, for example, change processes with different change amounts or change numbers.

  For example, the change amount (change value) for the feature element by the first change process is different from the change amount (change value) for the feature element by the second change process. For example, when the attribute information or the like of the feature element is changed by the change process, the change amount (change value) of the attribute information or the like is different between the first change process and the second change process. When the feature element is a display object, the first change process and the second change process differ in the amount of change (change value) in the display size of the display object.

  When the number of feature elements changes due to the change process, the number of feature element changes is different between the first change process and the second change process. For example, when a feature element addition process is performed as the change process, the number of added feature elements differs between the first change process and the second change process. When the change process of the feature element is performed as the change process, the number of change of the feature element is different between the first change process and the second change process.

  Further, the display processing unit 120 displays information about the feature element of the first game element corresponding to the corresponding feature element of the second game element when the corresponding feature element of the second game element is instructed by the player. Perform the process.

  For example, it is assumed that the player designates a corresponding feature element of the second game element by a touch panel operation or a cursor operation. Then, information about the feature element of the first game element corresponding to the corresponding feature element is displayed. In this way, for example, when the amount of change, the number of changes, and the like are different between the first change process and the second change process, the player can view the information display so that the amount of change, the number of changes. It becomes possible to confirm the difference.

  In addition, the game element processing unit 612 performs a change process for damaging or missing the corresponding feature element of the second game element when the change process for damaging or missing the feature element of the first game element is performed. For example, if a feature element is damaged or missing in the first game element, the corresponding feature element is also damaged or missing in the second game element.

  Here, the process of damaging a feature element is a process of changing an attribute information such as image information and shape information of the feature element to generate an image in which the feature element appears to be damaged. Further, the process of deleting a feature element is, for example, a process of deleting (erasing) an existing feature element from a game element.

  Further, the display processing unit 620 (120) displays the corresponding feature element at the second display position of the second game element corresponding to the first display position of the feature element added to the first game element. I do. For example, when a feature element is added to the first display position and displayed in the first game element, the second display corresponding to the first display position is displayed in the second game element. The corresponding feature element is added to the position and displayed. In the first game element, when the feature element displayed at the first display position is changed, the second game element is displayed at the second display position corresponding to the first display position. A process for changing the corresponding feature element is performed. These first and second display positions are stored in the game element information storage unit 672 (172) as information on the characteristic elements of the first game element and information on the corresponding characteristic elements of the second game element, respectively. You may remember.

  The game system (server system, terminal device) of the present embodiment includes an editing processing unit 616 (editing processing unit 116; the same applies hereinafter) that performs editing processing of feature elements of game elements. For example, the editing processing unit 616 performs editing processing for adding a new feature element to the game element based on the operation information input by the player. Or you may perform the edit process for changing the existing characteristic element of a game element.

  And the game element process part 612 performs the change process of a 1st game element based on the result of an edit process. For example, when editing for adding a feature element to the first game element is performed by the player, the game element processing unit 612 performs a change process for adding the feature element to the first game element. Alternatively, when editing that changes the feature element of the first game element is performed by the player, a change process corresponding to the editing content is performed on the feature element of the first game element.

  In addition, the game element processing unit 612 may perform the change process on the first game element when the change process is performed on the second game element. In this case, when the second change process is performed on the second game element, a first change process different from the first change process is performed on the first game element.

  In this case, the editing processing by the editing processing unit 616 is enabled not only for the first game element but also for the second game element. Then, when editing is performed by the player to add a feature element to the second game element or to change a feature element of the second game element, the game element processing unit 612 sets the feature to the first game element. A change process for adding an element or changing a feature element of the first game element is performed. By doing so, it is possible to realize a change process in which the first and second game elements are linked to each other.

  Further, the game element processing unit 612 may perform a process for notifying the player of the situation information about the characteristic elements of the first game element using the second game element. For example, when a change in the situation or the like occurs in the characteristic element of the first game element, this is notified to the player using the second game element. For example, regarding the situation information about the feature elements of the first game element, the character that is the second game element informs the player of the name of the corresponding feature element of the second game element, etc. by display or sound. By doing so, the situation regarding the characteristic elements of the first game element can be transmitted to the player more effectively.

  In the present embodiment, the first game element is a game element belonging to the first category, and the second game element is a game element belonging to the second category. That is, the first game element and the second game element are display objects having different categories (classifications). Here, for example, the categories are different, for example, the first and second game elements are used in different games, or information on the display objects of the first and second game elements is stored in the storage unit 670 (170). In some cases, the information format is different.

  For example, the first game element is a display object that appears in the game space of a game that progresses based on player operation information. For example, the first game element is a display object that appears in the game space and is displayed on the game image in the main game of the player. For example, a display object arranged and displayed on a game map, such as a base to be described later.

  On the other hand, the second game element is a display object displayed on the matching screen of the player, a display object displayed on the game medium used by the player, or a display object that transmits game situation information to the player. Here, the player matching screen is a screen for determining a player who is an opponent of the player in a network game or the like. In this matching screen, a plurality of second game elements corresponding to the plurality of players are displayed in order to display a plurality of players that are player candidates (matching candidates). For example, the second game element is a character, and images of a plurality of characters corresponding to a plurality of players are displayed on the matching screen. Alternatively, the second game element may be a display object displayed on a game medium such as a card. For example, an image of a character or the like that is the second game element is displayed on a game medium such as a card. Then, the player forms a deck with cards on which character images are drawn, and plays a card game or the like. Alternatively, the second game element may be a game element such as an avatar that transmits game situation information to the player. For example, a second game element appears as an avatar on a screen that conveys various information to the player, and this avatar conveys the information to the player through a conversation screen or voice.

  The second game element is, for example, a display object obtained by abstracting the first game element. For example, the second game element is a display object obtained by anthropomorphizing the first game element. For example, when the first game element is a base or the like, a character that personifies the base or the like is used as the second game element. The second game element is not limited to a display object representing a person, but a display object representing a creature (cat, dog, etc.) other than a person, a ship (battleship), a robot, an airplane (fighter), a car, It may be a display object representing a machine such as a train or a motorcycle.

  Further, the first and second game elements are display objects constituted by, for example, three-dimensional objects that are characteristic elements. For example, the first and second game elements are composed of a plurality of part objects with a three-dimensional object as a part object as a feature element. When the change process of the part object constituting the display object of the first game element is performed, the change process of the corresponding part object constituting the display object of the second game element is performed in conjunction with this. Become.

  In addition, although the case where the server system 500 of FIG. 2 performs the game process of this embodiment, a game element process, an edit process, a display process, etc. was demonstrated above, this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the terminal device TM of FIG. 3 may perform part or all of the game processing, game element processing, editing processing, display processing, and the like of the present embodiment described above. In this case, the terminal device TM (or a system in which the terminal device and the server system cooperate) functions as the game system of this embodiment.

2. Next, the method of this embodiment will be described in detail. In the following, the case where the first game element is a base and the second game element is a character will be mainly described as an example, but the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the first game element may be a display object other than the base. For example, as the first game element, various display objects that appear in the game space and are displayed on the game image of the main game of the player can be employed. For example, as the first game element, a display object arranged and formed on a map of the game space can be assumed. Further, the second game element may be a display object imitating a person, for example, or may be a display object imitating a living thing other than a person (for example, a dog, a cat, a fish, etc.). Or the display thing imitating machines, such as a ship, a robot, and an airplane, may be sufficient. In the following, an example in which the method of the present embodiment is applied to a simulation game in which each player constructs and enjoys a base will be described, but the present embodiment is not limited to this. The method of the present embodiment can be applied to various games (RPG, action game, card game, sports game, competitive game, battle game, music game, etc.) other than the simulation game.

2.1 Feature Element Addition Processing FIG. 4 shows an example of the base SP that is the first game element, and FIG. 5 shows an example of the character CH that is the second game element. In the present embodiment, a character CH obtained by anthropomorphizing (abstracting in a broad sense) the base SP is prepared as a game element used by the player for the game (for example, a game element used for selecting an opponent player on the matching screen). . When a change process such as addition or change of an object that is a characteristic element of the base SP in FIG. 4 is performed, a change process such as addition or change of an object that is a characteristic element of the character CH is performed in conjunction with this. . In other words, linked feature element change processing is performed on the base SP and the character CH that personifies the base SP.

  In the simulation game to which this embodiment is applied, the player places objects (characteristic elements in a broad sense) such as weapons and equipment on the base, and constructs (nurtures) his base like a fortress. have fun. For example, on the editing screen of FIG. 18 described later, the player places an object of a desired weapon or equipment on his position. For example, these placement objects are prepared as default placement objects, taken from the enemy, or purchased by the player using in-game currency. For example, by placing a weapon such as a cannon at the base, you can increase the attack power of the base. Moreover, the defense power of a base can be raised by arranging structures, such as a wall, in a base. In addition, by placing a command tower building at the base, it is possible to increase the information gathering ability of the base. This game is realized by, for example, a network game (social game), and the player constructs the base as his own miniature garden. For example, when a player is offline and another player attacks the player's base, the weapons and structures of the base are destroyed, or the game parameters (attack power, defense power, etc.) of the base are destroyed. Parameter) decreases. In this case, if the defensive power of the base is low, the base takes more damage due to enemy attacks. For example, weapons and structures can be easily destroyed, and various game parameters of the base are reduced. In addition, when the attack power of the base is low, the counterattack against the enemy attack is reduced, and the damage caused by the enemy attack is also increased. On the other hand, when the attack strength of the player's base is high, when the enemy base is attacked, more damage can be given to the enemy base.

  In this embodiment, the player arranges various objects (feature elements) on the base in order to increase various game parameters of the base, to show off the strength of the base, and to improve the appearance. For example, in FIG. 6, tanks TA1 and TA2, cannons CN1 and CN2, artillery AG, and fighter aircraft BP1 and BP2 which are weapons are arranged at the base SP. By placing such weapon objects on the base SP, the attack power parameter of the base SP can be increased. In addition, the base SP, which has been fortified by weapons and has become powerful, is displayed, and the visual satisfaction of the player can be improved.

  In this embodiment, when the object SP, which is a feature element, is added in the base SP (first game element in a broad sense) as described above, the character CH (second game element in a broad sense) is also used. Then, an additional process of an object which is a feature element is performed.

  For example, in FIG. 6, tanks TA1 and TA2, fighters BP1 and BP2, cannons CN1 and CN2, and artillery AG objects (three-dimensional objects) are added to the base SP in FIG. Then, in conjunction with this, as shown in FIG. 7, boot CTA1, CTA2, flying equipment CBP1, CBP2, artillery CCN, and artillery CAG objects (three-dimensional objects) are added to the character CH in FIG. Equipped.

  Boots CTA1 and CTA2 (corresponding feature elements of the second game element) of the character CH in FIG. 7 are added corresponding to the tanks TA1 and TA2 (feature elements of the first game element) of the base SP in FIG. Is. The flight equipments CBP1 and CBP2 (corresponding characteristic elements) in FIG. 7 are added corresponding to the airplanes BP1 and BP2 (characteristic elements) in FIG. The cannon CCN and the high-fire gun CAG in FIG. 7 are added corresponding to the cannon CN and the high-fire gun AG in FIG.

  In FIG. 8, objects of flags FL1, FL2, FL3 and emblems EM1, EM2 are further added to the base SP in FIG. Then, in conjunction with this, as shown in FIG. 9, the objects of flag CFL, emblem CEM1, and hair ornament CEM2 are further added and equipped to the character CH of FIG.

  The flag CFL of the character CH in FIG. 9 is added corresponding to the flags FL1, FL2, and FL3 of the base SP in FIG. The emblem CEM1 and the hair ornament CEM2 in FIG. 9 are added corresponding to the emblems EM1 and EM2 of the base SP in FIG.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when an object (feature element) is added to the base SP (first game element), the character CH (second game element) is linked in conjunction with the addition. An object (corresponding feature element in a broad sense) corresponding to the object is added.

  In this way, it is possible to change the base SP and the character CH obtained by anthropomorphizing (abstracting) the base SP in conjunction with each other, thereby realizing an unprecedented type of game.

  And in this embodiment, when performing the change process interlocked in this way, the contents of the change process at the base SP are different from the contents of the change process of the character CH.

  That is, the base SP and the character CH are completely different in shape and category, and there is a situation where it is not preferable to perform addition processing or change processing of the same feature element. For example, the character CH has a display limit and an equipment limit, and it is difficult to reproduce the change of the characteristic element at the base SP as it is in the character CH. For example, compared with the base SP, the character CH cannot equip many objects and the places where it can be equipped are limited.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the first change process is performed on the base SP as a change process such as a feature element addition process or a change process, the character CH is different from the first change process. A second change process is performed. Specifically, change processing with different addition modes and change modes is performed. For example, when the feature element addition process is performed in the first addition mode in the base SP that is the first game element, the feature element addition process is performed for the character CH that is the second game element. This is performed in a second additional mode different from the additional mode.

  For example, in the base SP shown in FIG. 8, tanks TA1 and TA2 are additionally arranged as characteristic elements. However, the character CH shown in FIG. 9 is additionally equipped with boots CTA1 and CTA2, which are different in category (kind) from the tanks TA1 and TA2. ing. That is, the first change process in the base SP and the second change process in the character CH have different categories of added objects and different addition modes. For example, in the base SP, it is not unnatural to arrange the tanks TA1 and TA2, but it is unnatural in design to equip the character CH with a tank. For this reason, in FIG. 9, boots CTA1 and CTA2, which are different in category from tanks and more natural in design for character CH, are additionally provided. The boots CTA1 and CTA2 are shaped and viewed so that the player can easily recognize that these boots CTA1 and CTA2 are objects (feature elements) corresponding to the tanks TA1 and TA2 at the base SP. However, it is similar to tanks TA1 and TA2. Accordingly, it is possible to give the player a sense of satisfaction that the character CH is an anthropomorphic (abstract) version of the base SP.

  In addition, in the base SP in FIG. 8, two (M) cannons CN1 and CN2 are additionally arranged. However, in the character CH in FIG. 9, one (N) cannon is shown as shown in FIG. Cannon CCN is additionally equipped. That is, the first change process at the base SP and the second change process at the character CH differ in the number of cannons that are objects to be added, and the addition mode is different. As shown in FIG. 10A, the cannon CCN equipped in the character CH is smaller in size than the cannons CN1 and CN2 arranged at the base SP. For example, the base SP has a large site area and can arrange many cannons, but the character CH has a small equipment area and cannot equip so many cannons. For this reason, in the character CH, the number of cannons is reduced compared to the base SP, and for example, only one cannon CCN is equipped. Similarly, in the base SP of FIG. 8, three (M) flags FL1, FL2, FL3 are additionally arranged, but in the character CH of FIG. 9, one (N) flag CFL is additionally provided. ing. That is, since the character CH has a smaller equipment area than the base SP, the number of flag equipment is reduced compared to the base SP, and for example, only one flag CFL is provided.

  Further, in the base SP of FIG. 8, fighter planes BP1 and BP2 are additionally arranged, but in the character CH of FIG. 9, the flight equipment CBP1, which retains only the characteristics of the fighter propeller and wings, not the fighter plane itself, CBP2 is additionally equipped. That is, it is not desirable from the viewpoint of design to equip the character CH with a fighter as it is. For this reason, the change of the additional aspect which transforms a fighter into the flight equipment CBP1 and CBP2 of the shape suitable for the equipment of character CH is performed. By doing so, it becomes possible to make the character CH after the additional equipment have a more preferable design, and it is possible to maintain the player's feelings about the character CH. Also, by leaving the characteristic parts (propellers, wings) of the fighters BP1 and BP2 in the flying equipment CBP1 and CBP2, the player can be convinced that the character CH is a personification of the base SP. it can.

  Further, in the base SP of FIG. 8, an emblem EM2 is additionally arranged with respect to the command tower. However, in the character CH of FIG. 9, a hair ornament CEM2 having a different category and shape from the emblem is additionally provided as shown in FIG. Yes. The emblem EM2 and the hair ornament CEM2 are for improving the appearance design of the base SP and the character CH, unlike weapons such as cannons. However, it is more preferable to equip the head of the character CH with the hair ornament CEM2 than the emblem, and the degree of attachment of the player to the character CH can be increased. For this reason, in FIG. 11, with respect to the emblem EM <b> 2 added to the base SP, an additional mode of changing the category and shape of the hair ornament CEM <b> 2 to the character CH is changed.

  It should be noted that various methods can be assumed as the method of change processing when adding a feature element. For example, in FIG. 10B, five tanks TA1 to TA5 are added to the base SP. In this case, in FIG. 10B, the character CH is equipped with, for example, a silver boot CTA1. On the other hand, in FIG. 10C, ten tanks TA1 to TA10 are added to the base SP. In this case, in FIG. 10C, the character CH is equipped with a golden boot CTA1 different from the silver color of FIG. 10B. That is, the color of the boots equipped on the character CH is different between the case where five tanks are added and the case where ten tanks are added. As described above, the addition mode may be changed not only by changing the category and shape but also by changing image information such as color.

  For example, when five tanks TA1 to TA5 are added to the base SP as shown in FIG. 10 (B) and five tanks TA6 to TA10 are added, the state shown in FIG. 10 (C) is obtained. To do. In this case, in the base SP, the additional processing of the tanks TA6 to TA10 which are characteristic elements is performed as the changing process, whereas in the character CH, the boot which is the corresponding characteristic element as the changing process. A process of changing the color of CTA1 (attribute information in a broad sense) is performed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when one of the process of adding a feature element and the process of changing a feature element is performed as the first change process, the second change process is performed. In the character CH, the other processing different from this one may be performed.

  For example, in the example of FIG. 10B and FIG. 10C, in the base SP, processing for newly adding tanks TA6 to TA10 which are characteristic elements (one processing in a broad sense) is performed. In the character CH, a color change process (the other process in a broad sense) of the boot CTA1 which is a corresponding characteristic element is performed.

  On the contrary, for example, when a feature element change process (one process) is performed in the base SP that is the first game element, a feature element addition process (in the character CH that is the second game element) ( The other process) may be performed. For example, in the base SP of FIG. 8, it is assumed that the process of changing the fighters BP1 and BP2 to, for example, a fighter capable of a missile attack is performed. In this case, in FIG. 9, a missile as a feature element is additionally provided on the back of the character CH.

  In FIG. 10B, for example, when the player touches the boot CTA1 with a finger on the screen on which the character CH is displayed, the information display IM1 appears. In this information display IM1, the player is informed that the boot CTA1 at the character CH corresponds to five tanks at the base SP. Similarly, in FIG. 10C, when the portion of the boot CTA1 is touched, an information display IM2 appears, and the player is informed that the boot CTA1 corresponds to 10 tanks. That is, when the tank is replaced with boots, the converted number (5 or 10) of the replacement original tank is displayed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the boot CTA1 (corresponding feature element) of the character CH (second game element) is instructed by the player, for example, by a touch panel operation or the like, the base SP corresponding to the boot CTA1 of the character CH ( Information about the tank (characteristic element) of the first game element) is displayed on the information displays IM1 and IM2.

  If such information displays IM1 and IM2 are displayed, the player can determine the feature elements of the character SP corresponding to the feature elements equipped in the character CH on the display screen of the character CH. Can be easily grasped, and convenience can be improved.

2.2 Feature Element Change Process In this embodiment, the game element feature element change process is performed as the game element change process. For example, when the feature element changing process of the base SP is performed, the corresponding feature element changing process of the character CH is performed in conjunction with this. And the change mode is different in the change process of the feature element in the base SP and the change process of the corresponding feature element in the character CH.

  As an example of the feature element changing process, there is a process of damaging or missing the feature element. 12 and 13 are explanatory diagrams of processing for damaging or missing the characteristic elements of the character CH in conjunction with the damage or missing of the characteristic elements of the base SP.

  For example, in A1 of FIG. 12, it is assumed that the characteristic element changing process is performed such that the tanks TA1 and TA2 of the base SP are damaged or missing. For example, when an enemy attacks the base SP and the enemy hits the tanks TA1 and TA2, the tanks TA1 and TA2 are partially destroyed and damaged, or all are destroyed and lost. In this case, on the game screen on which the base SP is displayed, the shapes and images of the tanks TA1 and TA2 are changed so that the player can visually grasp the damage of the tanks TA1 and TA2. For example, the tanks TA1 and TA2 are changed to a shape in which a part thereof is destroyed, or the image is seen to be darkened by a cannonball shell or the like.

  In this case, also in the character CH of FIG. 13, in conjunction with the damage or loss of the tanks TA1 and TA2 at the base SP, the characteristic element change process for the damage or loss of the boots CTA1 and CTA2 shown in B1 is performed. For example, a part of the boots CTA1 and CTA2 is changed to a broken shape, or changed to an image that looks dark.

  Similarly, in A2 of FIG. 12, when a change process is performed in which the cannons CN1 and CN2 of the base SP are damaged or missing, the cannon CCN of the character CH is damaged or missing in B2 of FIG. Change processing is performed. In addition, in A3 in FIG. 12, when a change process is performed in which the emblem EM2 (or the control tower) of the base SP is damaged or missing, in conjunction with this, the hair ornament CEM2 of the character CH is damaged or lost in B3 in FIG. Missing change processing is performed.

  In this way, the changing process in which the characteristic element is damaged or lost is linked between the base SP and the character CH. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a feeling as if the character CH is a part of the base SP, and the degree of personification of the base SP by the character CH can be increased. For example, when the base SP is attacked by an enemy and the characteristic element is damaged or lost, the corresponding characteristic element is also damaged or lost in the character CH. For a player who is fond of or attached to the character CH, the impact and disappointment are stronger when the equipment and clothes of the character CH are destroyed than when the equipment of the base SP is destroyed. For this reason, the player becomes more enthusiastic about the enemy attack and can increase the player's degree of immersion in the game play, so that it is possible to realize a game that is less likely to get bored.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the characteristic element changing process is performed in the first change mode in the base SP that is the first game element, the change of the characteristic element is performed in the character CH that is the second game element. The process is performed in a second change mode different from the first change mode.

  For example, in FIG. 14, a change process is performed in which the tank TA1 of the base SP is destroyed. For example, a change process in which a part of the tank TA1 is destroyed and the tank TA1 is damaged, or a change process in which the entire tank TA1 is destroyed and the tank TA1 is lost is performed.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 14, in the boot CTA1 corresponding to the tank of the character CH, a change process for changing attribute information such as image information and shape information is performed instead of a process for changing destruction or loss. . For example, the boot CTA1 having a shape reflecting the shape of the tank is changed to a normal boot CTA1 'not reflecting the shape of the tank. That is, the change mode of the change process at the base SP (tank damage or loss) is different from the change mode of the change process at the character CH (change of attribute information such as boot image information and shape information).

  For example, FIG. 15A shows an example of the attribute information of the feature element of the base SP and the attribute information of the feature element of the character CH. The attribute information of the object that is a feature element includes, for example, the color of the object, the texture mapped to the object (polygon), the shape of the object (polygon data), the category (type), and the like. And in this embodiment, when the process which changes the attribute information of the feature element of the base SP in the first change mode is performed as the first change process, the corresponding feature element of the character CH is used as the second change process. The attribute information is changed in a second change mode different from the first change mode.

  For example, in FIG. 15B, it is assumed that processing for changing attribute information such as the color and texture is performed on the wall that is a characteristic element of the base SP. In this case, a process of changing the shape and category of the clothing that is a characteristic element of the character CH is performed. Here, the clothes worn on the character CH are characteristic elements corresponding to the walls that are characteristic elements of the base SP.

  In FIG. 15B, for example, when the color or texture of the wall (feature element) is changed to a cute and cute color, the clothes (corresponding feature elements) to be worn on the character CH are changed to the stylish and cute shapes and categories. Change to clothes. On the other hand, when the color or texture of the wall is changed to, for example, a color or texture representing an iron material, the clothes to be worn on the character CH are changed from normal clothes to, for example, iron armor clothes. In other words, change to clothes with different shapes and categories.

  In this way, by changing the change mode of the change process of the feature element at the base SP and the change mode of the feature element at the character CH, the feature element is changed in a change mode suitable for each of the base SP and the character CH. become able to. Therefore, it is possible to change the characteristic elements that appear more natural to the player. In addition, there is a case where it is difficult to execute the change process with the same contents as the change process with the feature element at the base SP due to the object display process. According to this, it becomes possible to deal with such a case.

  In the present embodiment, the corresponding feature element is displayed at the second display position of the character CH (second game element) corresponding to the first display position of the feature element added to the base SP (first game element). Process to display.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 16A, each location of the base SP and each part of the character CH are associated in advance. For example, in FIG. 16A, the command tower, gun equipment, and wall of the base SP are respectively associated with the head, arm, and chest of the character CH. As game parameters, parameters of information collection ability, attack power, and defense power are associated with each other.

  Further, the aircraft equipment, castle gate, and mobile equipment of the base SP are respectively associated with the back, crotch, and leg portions of the character CH. As game parameters, parameters for air control, awarding ability, and mobility are associated with each other.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16B, the display position PA1 (first display position) of the command tower of the base SP is associated with the display position PB1 (second display position) of the head of the character CH. Therefore, as described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, when the emblem EM2 is arranged (additional arrangement) on the command tower of the base SP, the hair ornament CEM2 is equipped (additional equipment) to the head of the character CH. . And the game parameter of information gathering ability of base SP and character CH rises.

  The display position PA2 (first display position) of the gun equipment at the base SP is associated with the display position PB2 (second display position) of the arm of the character CH. Therefore, when the high-firing gun AG is arranged at the base SP, the high-firing gun CAG is equipped on the arm of the character CH. And the game parameter of the attack power of base SP or character CH rises.

  Further, the display position PA3 of the wall of the base SP is associated with the display position PB3 of the chest of the character CH. Accordingly, as described with reference to FIG. 15B, when the process of changing the wall of the base SP is performed, the process of changing the clothes worn on the character CH is performed. Then, the game parameter of the defense power of the base SP or the character CH increases.

  Further, the display position PA4 of the air equipment of the base SP is associated with the display position PB4 of the back of the character CH. Accordingly, when the fighters BP1 and BP2 are arranged at the base SP, the aircraft equipment CBP1 and CBP2 are equipped on the back of the character CH. Then, the game parameter of the air suppression power of the base SP and the character CH increases.

  Further, the display position PA5 of the castle gate of the base SP is associated with the display position PB5 of the crotch of the character CH. Therefore, when the emblem EM1 is arranged at the castle gate of the base SP, the emblem CEM1 is equipped near the crotch of the character CH.

  Further, the display position PA6 of the mobile equipment at the base SP is associated with the display position PB6 of the leg of the character CH. Accordingly, when the tanks TA1 and TA2 are arranged at the base SP, the boots CTA1 and CTA2 are equipped on the legs of the character CH. Then, the game parameters of the mobility of the base SP and the character CH increase.

  In this way, in FIG. 16B, the display positions PA1 to PA6 of the characteristic elements of the base SP are associated with the display positions PB1 to PB6 of the corresponding characteristic elements of the character CH. This association is performed by link information stored in the link information storage unit 674 (174) of FIG. In this way, when the addition process and the change process of the feature element of the base SP are performed, the corresponding process element of the character CH displayed at the display position corresponding to the display position of the feature element is also added and changed. Will be done. Therefore, it is possible to make the player feel more strongly that the character CH is an anthropomorphic (abstract) of the base SP, and the player's feelings and attachment to the character CH can be further enhanced.

  In addition, for example, the command tower of the base SP is designed to conceive the head (brain) of the character CH. Therefore, when the equipment at the command tower of the base SP is equipped, the head of the character CH is also equipped in conjunction with this, and the game parameter of the information collecting ability increases, so that the base SP and the character CH change in conjunction. It is possible to effectively tell the player how the player is doing. Similarly, the air equipment and mobile equipment of the base SP are conceived of the back wings and legs of the character CH. Therefore, if air equipment or maneuver equipment is performed on the base SP, the back and legs of the character CH will be equipped in conjunction with this, and the game parameters such as air suppression power and maneuverability will increase, so that the base SP And the character CH can be transmitted to the player more effectively.

  In the above description, the case where the change process of the character CH that is the second game element is performed when the change process is performed on the base SP that is the first game element has been described. It is not limited to this. For example, when the change process is performed on the character CH that is the second game element, the change process of the base SP that is the first game element may be performed.

  For example, in FIG. 17A, the character CH is given an umbrella UM. That is, change processing for adding an object of the umbrella UM is performed. In this case, at the base SP, an object of the dome DM which is a characteristic element corresponding to the umbrella UM is added. That is, when the change process for adding the umbrella UM to the character CH is performed, the change process for adding the dome DM to the base SP is performed in conjunction with the change process.

  Further, for example, in FIG. 17A, a beautiful clothes BCL is put on the character CH. That is, change processing for adding an object of clothes BCL is performed. In this case, in the base SP, an object of a flower FL, which is a characteristic element corresponding to the clothes BCL, is added. That is, when a change process for adding clothes BLC to the character CH is performed, a change process for adding a flower FL to the base SP is performed in conjunction with the change process.

  By doing in this way, a change process interlocked with each other is performed between the base SP and the character CH, and it becomes possible to further enhance the sense of unity between the base SP and the character CH due to anthropomorphism.

  Note that the various methods of the present embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 16B can also be applied when the change process is performed on the base SP in conjunction with the change process of the character CH. For example, when the first change process is performed on the character CH, a second change process different from the first change process is performed on the base SP. For example, change processing with different addition modes and change modes is performed. Further, the corresponding feature element is displayed at the display position of the base SP corresponding to the display position of the feature element added to the character CH. In this way, even when the base SP is changed in conjunction with the change of the character CH, various processes adopted by the method of changing the character CH in association with the change of the base SP can be performed.

2.3 Details of First and Second Game Elements Next, details of the first and second game elements of this embodiment will be described. For example, in the present embodiment, the base SP that is the first game element is used for the main game of the player, for example. For example, the base SP is a display object that appears in the game space of a game that progresses based on the operation information of the player. For example, in the game realized by this embodiment, the player enjoys a game in which weapons and equipment are arranged on his / her base and the base is strengthened like a fortress. Then, by adding weapons and equipment to the player's position, the player can increase the defense against enemy attacks and obtain many deliverables by attacking the enemy. As described above, the first game element such as the base SP is a display object that appears in the game space of the main game that proceeds based on the operation information of the player.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18, the base SP, which is the first game element, is a target for editing processing by the player. For example, on the editing screen shown in FIG. 18, the player uses the icons IC1 to IC8 displayed on the screen to edit the base SP. This editing process is also called a level editor (stage editing).

  For example, the player starts editing the base SP by touching the icon IC1 on the screen of FIG. The icons IC5 to IC8 have pictures of weapons and equipment such as cannons, tanks, airplanes, and flags. The player selects an icon corresponding to the weapon or equipment desired by the player from the icons IC5 to IC8. Then, the placement position on the base SP is instructed and the icon IC2 is touched to determine the placement of the weapon or equipment. Then, when the data of the base SP edited by itself is stored, the icon IC3 is touched.

  In this way, the base SP, which is the first game element, is a target of the player's editing process, and the player can add or change desired feature elements. Then, when the feature element changing process of the base SP is performed by this editing process, the corresponding feature element changing process of the character CH, which is the second game element, is performed in conjunction therewith.

  On the other hand, the character CH which is the second game element is a game element belonging to a category different from the base SP. For example, the base SP is subject to editing processing, whereas the character CH is not subject to editing processing. It should be noted that the character CH can be modified for editing.

  The base SP, which is the first game element, is a display item that appears in the game space of the game progressing based on the operation information of the player, whereas the character CH, which is the second game element, is, for example, the player's This is a display item displayed on the matching screen.

  FIG. 19A shows an example of a matching screen (an opponent selection screen). On this matching screen, icons are displayed on which images of characters CHA, CHB, and CHC corresponding to each of a plurality of players are drawn. In FIG. 19A, icons of these characters CHA to CHC are shown in a simplified manner, but actually, an entire image of the character with the equipment attached is drawn as shown in FIG. An icon is displayed. That is, an icon on which an image capable of recognizing what kind of equipment the character is performing is displayed. As a result, the player can grasp to some extent the weapons and equipment of the position that is the subject of anthropomorphization of the character.

  The player selects a player to be his / her opponent (matching target) by selecting a desired icon from the icons of these characters CHA, CHB, and CHC. Then, for example, when the character CHA is selected and the game is started, an enemy position corresponding to the character CHA is displayed on the game screen. The player performs an action of attacking the enemy base and destroying the weapons and equipment of the enemy base. Thereby, the equipment of the character CHA and the like change in conjunction with each other, and the image of the character CHA displayed on the matching screen in FIG. 19A also changes.

  In this way, each player grasps the weapons and equipment of the enemy base by checking the image of the character displayed on the matching screen, selects the opponent player and invades that base. It becomes possible. In this case, for example, even if the position of the player who is the opponent is a position that is not so strong, it is possible to deceive the enemy by impersonating it so that the equipment of the corresponding character looks strong As a result, the strategy of the game can be increased.

  Further, the second game element may be a display object displayed on a game medium such as a card used by the player. For example, in FIG. 19B, images of characters CHA, CHB, and CHC that are second game elements are displayed on cards CDA, CDB, and CDC that are game media. In FIG. 19B, the images of these characters CHA to CHC are shown in a simplified manner. However, in actuality, the entire image of the character equipped with the equipment as shown in FIG. Displayed on CHC.

  Each base is associated with each of these characters CHA to CHC. For example, when the player selects the card CDA, a position corresponding to the character CHA of the card CDA is displayed on the game screen so that the game can be played. The same applies to the cards CDB and CDC. In this way, it is possible to realize a card game or the like that effectively uses the method of the present embodiment.

  Note that the card (game medium) on which the character as the second game element is displayed may be a virtual card displayed on the game screen, or a physical card in the real world. . For example, an image of a character that is the second game element may be printed on a physical card, and the printed card may be paid out to the player.

  Further, the second game element may be a display object that transmits game situation information to the player. As an example, a process of notifying the player of status information about the characteristic elements of the first game element using the second game element is performed.

  For example, in FIG. 20, it is assumed that the expiration date of the tank TA arranged at the base SP is approaching. For example, the player acquires an item of the tank TA in a network game such as SNS, and places the item of the tank TA on the base SP on the editing screen of FIG. In this case, an expiration date is set for the acquired item of the tank TA. When the expiration date is exceeded, the item of the tank TA cannot be used and is removed from the base SP.

  In such a case, the character CH corresponding to the base SP notifies the situation information of the tank TA that is a characteristic element of the base SP. For example, in FIG. 20, since the expiration date of the tank TA is approaching, the character CHA talks to “Buy new boots”. When the player purchases new boots corresponding to the tank TA using in-game currency or the like, the tank TA is not removed from the base SP. By consuming in-game currency, the tank TA with higher maneuverability is placed at the base SP, and the boots CTA1 and CTA2 attached to the character CH are also changed to boots that look better and more expensive. Become so. As a result, it is possible to encourage each player to consume in-game currency and the like, and it is possible to realize effective billing processing and the like.

  Note that various methods can be assumed as the notification method using the character that is the second game element. For example, when a player's base is attacked, a character corresponding to the base may make a notification such as “help me” to the player. For example, in a network game, it is assumed that an enemy attacks the player's position during a time period (offline) when the player is not participating in the game. In this case, for example, a character appears on a screen such as the SNS of the player's portable terminal device, and a notification such as “Help me” is given. In this way, it is possible to effectively inform the player that the player's position has been attacked and is in danger.

  FIG. 21 is an example of game element information of the first and second game elements. These pieces of game element information include the category to which each of the first and second game elements belongs and information on the objects constituting each game element. The object information is, for example, texture information or shape information (polygon data) of the object.

  In this way, in FIG. 21, the first and second game elements are display objects constituted by three-dimensional objects that are characteristic elements. That is, the first and second game elements are display objects (model objects) composed of a plurality of three-dimensional objects (part objects) as shown in FIGS.

  For example, as a method of a comparative example of the present embodiment, a method of preparing a character that is the second game element as a two-dimensional picture without being configured by a three-dimensional object is conceivable. For example, a card in which a picture of a two-dimensional character is drawn is prepared.

  However, with the method of this comparative example, it is very difficult to realize a change process in which the first and second game elements are linked as in the present embodiment. This is because it is necessary to prepare pictures of a large number of characters having different designs in response to all changes in the characteristic elements of the base that is the first game element.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, not only the first game element but also the character that is the second game element is constituted by a plurality of three-dimensional objects. Therefore, when the change process of the characteristic element of the base which is the first game element is performed, the change process of the characteristic element of the character linked to this can be easily realized. For example, when a process for adding or changing a first three-dimensional object that is a feature element of a base is performed, a second three-dimensional object corresponding to the first three-dimensional object is also added to the character. Alternatively, it is only necessary to perform change processing. Therefore, there is an advantage that change processing linked with game elements can be easily realized as compared with the method of the comparative example.

  According to the method of the present embodiment described above, when the change process of the first game element is performed, the change process is performed in a different manner of change in association with the second game element. Become. As a result, the characteristic elements of the second game element such as a character obtained by anthropomorphizing (abstracting) the first game element such as the base are changed in various ways, and an unprecedented game system can be realized. become. In addition, on the matching screen and the like, the player can analyze the enemy and take various game strategies by looking at the second game element such as a character, so that the fun of the game can be improved.

  In addition, according to the method of the present embodiment, it is possible to encourage the player to purchase an item that pursues beauty and oddity, instead of pursuing only the strength and defense of the base. For example, the player's purchase of items that do not significantly affect the strength and defense of the base, but are useful for the beauty and strangeness of the character's appearance, is effective. Etc. can be realized.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to take away enemy equipment by attacking the enemy base, and the image of the character also changes due to the equipment taken away, which further improves the fun of the game it can.

  In addition, it is possible to further increase the degree of immersion of the player into the game by, for example, receiving a notification requesting help from a character who is anthropomorphic to the base.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the first game element is a base and the second game element is a character has been mainly described. However, the first and second game elements are not limited to these bases and characters. . For example, the first game element may be fixedly arranged on the map of the game (on the game field) like a base, or may be a moving body that can move on the map. As the first game element fixedly arranged on the map, villages, towns, cities, countries, ports, etc., and buildings such as castles and buildings can be assumed. As a first game element as a moving body moving on the map, a ship such as a battleship, an airplane such as a fighter, a robot, a car, and the like can be assumed. In addition, the second game element may be, for example, a model of a creature other than a human being, or may be a moving body such as a ship, an airplane, a robot, or a car. As described above, as the first and second game elements, various display objects constituted by three-dimensional objects can be assumed.

3. Detailed Processing Next, a detailed processing example of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing the overall processing of this embodiment. First, the editing information of the player is received (step S1). For example, an editing screen as shown in FIG. 18 is displayed to accept editing input from the player. Then, it is determined whether or not a feature element has been added to the first game element such as a base by editing the player (step S2). When a feature element is added and placed in the first game element, the corresponding feature element of the second game element is specified (step S3). The identification of the corresponding feature element is performed based on, for example, link information in the link information storage unit 674 in FIG. Then, a corresponding feature element is added to the second game element, and the first and second game elements are displayed (steps S4 and S5).

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing details of change processing of this embodiment. First, it is determined whether or not a process of adding a feature element to the first game element has been performed (step S11). And when an additional process is performed, the process which adds a corresponding | compatible feature element with a 2nd addition aspect different from the 1st addition aspect in a 1st game element with respect to a 2nd game element is performed. It performs (step S12). That is, the feature element addition process described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 11 is executed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a process for changing the feature element of the first game element has been performed (step S13). And when a change process is performed, the process which changes a corresponding | compatible feature element with the 2nd change mode different from the 1st change mode with a 1st game element with respect to a 2nd game element is performed. Perform (step S14). That is, the feature element changing process described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 15B is executed. Then, display processing of the first and second game elements on which the feature element addition processing and change processing are performed is performed (step S15).

  Although the present embodiment has been described in detail as described above, it will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that many modifications can be made without departing from the novel matters and effects of the present invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included in the scope of the present invention. For example, in the specification or drawings, terms (positions, characters, objects, objects, etc.) described at least once together with different terms (first game element, second game element, feature element, abstraction, etc.) having a broader meaning or the same meaning Anthropomorphism) may be replaced by the different terms anywhere in the specification or drawings. In addition, game processing, game element processing, feature element change processing / addition processing / change processing, display processing, and the like are not limited to those described in this embodiment, and techniques equivalent to these are also included in the scope of the present invention. .
