<< Game device 100 >>
Here, the functional configuration of the game apparatus 100 will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG.

  The control unit 101 is, for example, a CPU, and controls the operation of each block included in the game apparatus 100. Specifically, the control unit 101 controls the operation of each block by, for example, reading an operation program for each block recorded on the recording medium 102 and developing the operation program in the memory 103.

  The recording medium 102 is a recording device capable of permanently storing data, such as a nonvolatile memory or an HDD. The recording medium 102 stores, in addition to the operation program for each block of the game apparatus 100, information such as parameters necessary for the operation of each block, and various graphics data used for the game executed by the game apparatus 100. To do. The memory 103 is a storage device used for temporary data storage such as a volatile memory. The memory 103 is used not only as a development area for the operation program of each block, but also as a storage area for temporarily storing data output in the operation of each block.

  The payment detection unit 104 detects that the game device 100 has paid the price. The payment of the consideration is determined by detecting, for example, that a predetermined amount of coins or corresponding coins have been inserted into the coin slot, or completion of settlement processing based on communication with a chip related to the predetermined electronic money. It may be done. The game apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is described as starting the provision of a service that involves discharging a card to a user based on the payment of the consideration. However, payment of the consideration is not an essential requirement, and a predetermined start instruction is given. Based on this, provision of services may be started.

  The display control unit 105 includes a drawing device such as a GPU, and generates and controls screens to be displayed on the second display unit 130 and the first display unit 120 in the present embodiment. Specifically, the display control unit 105 is appropriate for a necessary drawing object based on processing and commands performed by the control unit 101 while the game apparatus 100 is in operation (during game play or in a standby state). Performs arithmetic processing and draws the screen. The generated screen is output to the second display unit 130 and the first display unit 120, which are display devices that are detachably connected in the same housing as the game device 100 or outside the game device 100, in a predetermined display area. Is displayed to the user.

  The game device 100 according to the present embodiment has two types of display devices (a first display unit 120 and a second display unit 130) as shown in FIG. Generates a game screen for each of them. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the second display unit 130 is configured to have a board surface (mounting panel 131) on which a card can be placed on the display area. A part of the operation input related to the game can be performed by moving the placed card. Although the game screen displayed on the second display unit 130 will be described later, there are a plurality of types in order to provide a suitable game experience, and an image of a field serving as a reference for placing a card as shown in FIG. It includes a screen on which (a two-dimensional image configured to clearly indicate the position and area where the card is placed) is presented. On the other hand, the first display unit 120 is basically a game screen generated based on a card movement operation performed on the board of the second display unit 130. For example, the first display unit 120 is a character corresponding to a card, or the A game screen drawn with respect to a viewpoint overlooking the character and other characters appearing in the game, and various effect videos described later are displayed.

  In addition, the display device according to the second display unit 130 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to recognize an invisible code attached to a card placed on the placement panel 131. More specifically, the second display unit 130 displays the game screen generated by the display control unit 105, and is mounted on the mounting panel 131 from the back side of the second display unit 130 (inside the housing of the game device 100). It is configured to be able to detect the placed card and detect the position / rotation. For example, when the invisible code attached to the card is formed of infrared light reflecting ink, the mounting panel 131, the liquid crystal panel layer necessary for display, and the light guide layer are all configured to transmit infrared light. It is assumed that the bottom surface of the light guide layer does not have a casing serving as a shield. In this case, the card placed on the placement panel 131 can photograph the invisible code attached to the placed card by an infrared camera provided inside the game apparatus 100.

  The card recognition unit 106 detects the acquisition of the article information of the card placed on the placement panel 131, the identification of each placed card, and the position / rotation of each card. For example, as described above, the card recognition unit 106 may include an infrared camera that images the second display unit 130 from the back side. By extracting and converting the invisible code from the image obtained by the imaging, the card recognition unit 106 is loaded. Article information from the card on the placement panel 131 is acquired. In the present embodiment, for simplicity, it is assumed that a card that can be used for a game in the game apparatus 100 is associated with one character that appears in the game. Accordingly, the article information held by the card may be immutable information configured to be able to specify that the card is associated with any character provided to be able to appear in the game, and the article information is simplified. It is assumed that the information includes information for specifying a character associated with the card. Therefore, the card recognizing unit 106 detects from the captured image that a new card has been placed during a period of accepting placement of a card to be used for play (an invisible code that has not been analyzed in the captured image is detected). And a character ID that identifies the character associated with the card is obtained by analyzing the invisible code attached to the card. Further, the card recognition unit 106 acquires the card placement position from the position where the invisible code in the captured image is detected, and manages the information as card information (placement card information) used for play, for example, by managing the character ID. Managed in the memory 103. The invisible code may have a configuration in which a predetermined card direction and information for identifying the front and back sides are added, and the card recognition unit 106 determines the card direction (the placement on the board) when analyzing the invisible code. (Installation direction) is also detected and managed as placement card information.

  In this embodiment, it is assumed that the card recognition unit 106 acquires the item information of the card and detects the position and the like when the card is placed on the placement panel 131. It is not limited to. That is, the article information possessed by the card used for game play is acquired by a separately provided reader, and the pattern that is invisible to the card does not include the character identification information associated with the card. It may be configured to be used only for the identification of the card from which the card is acquired and the movement detection of the card.

  In this embodiment, in order to provide a suitable game experience, the card recognition unit 106 will be described as detecting the position and direction of the card placed on the placement panel 131, but the second display unit 130. Depending on the display mode performed on the card, the shape of the mounting panel 131 or the card, the configuration method of the invisible code, etc., the direction may not be detected.

  The character DB 107 is a database that manages character information for each character that is predetermined as appearing in the game. For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the character information is associated with a character ID 301 that uniquely identifies the character, a character name 302, various parameters in the game (characters that define superiority in game progress). Management of unique numerical values (physical strength, attack power, defensive power, etc.), various abilities and activation conditions thereof 303, and display information 304 indicating images and model data used for displaying characters on the game screen It may be.

  The discharge control unit 108 controls the discharge of cards for one game play based on the payment of consideration. The card discharged in the game apparatus 100 may be discharged before the start of a game sequence related to provision of a predetermined game (match game), for example. The discharge unit 140 is, for example, a card dispenser, has a stocker (not shown) that deposits cards in the vertical direction, and stores one card held at the bottom of the stocker according to a discharge command issued by the discharge control unit 108. It may be a configuration having a discharging mechanism. When the discharging unit 140 is built in the same housing as the game apparatus 100, the discharged card is provided to the user by being guided to the discharge port 201 (FIG. 2) accessible from the outside of the game apparatus 100. Good. Since the card ejected from the game device 100 of the present embodiment has an invisible code related to unique article information on the surface as described above, it is a ready-made card that has been printed and manufactured in advance, and all cards Shall be formed in the same shape and size.

  The operation input unit 109 is a user interface that the game apparatus 100 has, such as an operation member for determination input and various sensors. When the operation input unit 109 detects that an operation input to the operation member has been made, the operation input unit 109 outputs a control signal corresponding to the operation input to the control unit 101. In the present embodiment, the operation input unit 109 detects operation inputs made to various user interfaces provided in the game apparatus 100 as physical operation members, and the card input detected by the card recognition unit 106 is detected. In the following description, it is assumed that the detection target is different from the operation input related to movement, as a separate user interface. The operation input unit 109 may include, for example, a touch input detection sensor that detects a touch input made on the screen of the first display unit 120 or the second display unit 130.

  Communication unit 110 is a communication interface with an external device included in game device 100. The communication unit 110 can be connected to an external device via a communication network such as the Internet (not shown) and a wired medium such as a cable, and can transmit and receive data. For example, the communication unit 110 converts information input as a transmission target into data of a predetermined format and transmits the data to an external device such as a server via a network. Further, for example, when receiving information from an external device via a network, the communication unit 110 decodes the information and stores it in the memory 103. In addition, the game apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is configured to be able to receive program data obtained by packaging a processing program related to a game from an external apparatus via the communication unit 110. When the communication unit 110 receives the program data together with the program update request, the control unit 101 uses the received program data for the processing program relating to the game currently stored in the recording medium 102 according to the update request. Can be updated. In addition to this, the program update processing of the game is automatically executed when the program data recorded on the recording medium is inserted into an optical drive (not shown) included in the game device, or after the insertion. It can also be executed by the start command from the administrator.

Game overview
Hereinafter, the outline | summary is demonstrated about the game provided in the game device 100 of this embodiment.

  The game provided in the game device 100 of the present embodiment is a player composed of a character used by the user, that is, a character (play character) associated with each of the cards placed on the placement panel 131 by the user. This is a round-based battle game played between a team and an opponent team composed of opponent characters (opposite characters) selected by a predetermined method. In the competitive game, the sum of the physical strengths determined for the characters constituting the team is determined as the team physical strength for each of the player team and the opponent team, and the opponent's team physical strength is reduced to 0 within a predetermined upper limit number of rounds. The reduced team is the winner of the game.

  One round considers the state of the player team and the opponent team, and executes the operation phase in which the actions of each character of the player team are determined in the round, and the action determined in the operation phase is executed in accordance with the progress of the game. It consists of an action phase in which processing related to increase or decrease in team strength is performed. Here, the battle game does not proceed in the operation phase, and the action determined for the player team, the action determined for the opponent team, and the state of each character or team when the end condition of the operation phase is satisfied and the action phase is entered The battle game proceeds in consideration of the above.

  Basically, in these operation phase and action phase, the former accepts the movement operation of the card placed on the placement panel 131, and the latter does not accept the movement operation of the card placed on the placement panel 131 (necessary). And not) are different. That is, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, the period for accepting the user's movement operation for the card placed on the placement panel 131 is limited to the operation phase, and the user does not request the card movement operation in the action phase. The action phase may accept, for example, a simple operation input to a physical operation member, etc., if necessary, but in order to avoid an unintended movement operation or an increase in game difficulty. The card moving operation on the placement panel 131 while confirming the progress of the game on the first display unit 120 is unnecessary.

  Here, specific aspects of the game flow and display control will be exemplified below for one aspect of the battle game provided in the game apparatus 100 of the present embodiment.

<Operation Phase>
In the strategy phase, a game screen 400 as shown in FIG. 4A is displayed on the second display unit 130 for determining the action guidelines of each play character in the subsequent action phase (the same round). An attack area 401 and a standby area 402 shown on the game screen 400 correspond to areas in which play characters can be placed in a space (3D space) in the game related to the battle game. The user places a card on the placement panel 131 of the second display unit 130 so that at least a part of the attack area 401 or the standby area 402 displayed on the second display unit 130 overlaps the card. The associated play character can be placed in a space in the game. For example, when the cards 411, 412 and 413 are placed on the placement panel 131 as shown in FIG. 4B, the game screen 420 displayed on the first display unit 120 shown in FIG. 4C. As described above, in the in-game space related to the battle game, the characters 421, 422, and 423 associated with each card are arranged in a state where the relative relationship is maintained.

  Each of the attack area 401 and the standby area 402 is an in-game action such as an action performed in the action phase or an effect given at the end of the round for the play character corresponding to the card placed (overlaid on the area display). This is an area with different roles.

  The waiting area 402 is an area where action (attack) for reducing the team physical strength of the opponent character is not performed in the action phase, and action points are charged for the play character corresponding to the placed card. The action point is a point that, when consumed in the action phase, enables the character that has consumed the point to perform an attack action. In the state where the action point is 0, the play character cannot perform the attacking action, so the user needs to move the card corresponding to the play character to the standby area 402. Further, for example, the initial value of action points, the number of points that rise when placed in the waiting area 402, and the maximum value that can be charged may be determined by various parameters 313 of character information for each character.

  On the other hand, the attack area 401 is an area where an action point is consumed and an attack action is performed for the play character corresponding to the placed card. As shown in FIG. 4A, the attack area 401 is divided into three areas, and the shorter the distance from the opponent team, the more action points are consumed, and the team's physical strength of the opponent team is reduced in the attack action. It is controlled so that it can be easily reduced. Here, the attack area 401 and the standby area 402 correspond to the space in the game determined when facing the opponent team in the battle game, and the attack area 401 and the standby area 402 have a distance from the opponent team in this order. Set to be larger. That is, in FIG. 4A, the upper end of the attack area 401 indicates the forefront of the space facing the opponent team, and the user places a card on the back side of the game apparatus 100 (upward direction of the attack area 401). As a result, the character corresponding to the card can be in a state in which the team physical strength of the opponent team can be more easily reduced.

  In this way, in the operation phase related to one round, the user moves and operates the cards placed on the placement panel 131, so that the behavior corresponding to each card is changed in the action phase of the same round or the state change. The character arrangement on the game can be determined. In the game device 100 of the present embodiment, the second display unit 130 displays the card movement operation in such a strategy phase so that the user can easily focus on the card movement operation and enables the intended card movement operation. Control the game screen. More specifically, in the game apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, various information relating to each card is placed around the cards 411, 412 and 413 placed on the placement panel 131 as shown in FIG. Related images 414, 415, and 415 are displayed, respectively, so that the user can easily grasp what kind of card movement operation should be performed in the operation phase by referring to the information. Various information displays related to the card are determined based on the placement position of the card detected by the card recognition unit 106, and the display position is controlled following the movement of the card.

  That is, in the operation phase, necessary information is collected on the second display unit 130, so that the user alternately moves his / her line of sight between the second display unit 130 and the first display unit 120. It is not necessary to move the card on the second display unit 130 by groping while keeping the line of sight on the first display unit 120, and the card moving operation is concentrated. Can do. Furthermore, since the frame image is displayed on the second display unit 130 at a position corresponding to the recognized card placement position, the user has recognized the card normally (for example, another card is being moved by a moving operation). The recognition position is slightly shifted due to the calibration failure of the card recognition unit 106, which is recognized as being placed at a different position). In addition, when the card is recognized normally, information to be referred to for determining the strategy of the battle game is displayed following each card, and therefore the card is displayed in the attack area 401 and the standby area 402 in this round. It is possible to easily determine the position to be moved, the position in the attack area to which the card should be moved, and the like, so that the moving operation can be suitably started.

<Action phase>
When the operation phase ends (due to a confirmation operation or time out), an action phase related to the same round is started. Characters to be acted on in the action phase are basically characters of the player team and the opponent team arranged in the attack area 401. The action phase is a phase for presenting an attack action that is performed based on the result of the card movement operation performed in the operation phase. Unlike the operation phase, no card movement operation is required.

  First, when the action phase is started, it is determined which of the player team and the opponent team should start the attack action (first attack / second attack). The determination of the first attack / second attack was consumed according to the position of the character in the attack area 401, for example, a parameter (value) such as attack power determined for each character arranged on the attack area 401 of each team. The sum of the parameters of each team may be calculated by performing a predetermined calculation such as adding a value corresponding to the number of action points, and may be performed based on the magnitude (larger is the first).

  When the first attack / second attack is determined, the characters in the attack area 401 of the first attack team are grouped based on, for example, attack attributes, cooperation compatibility, arrangement position, and the like, and an attack action is performed for each group. At this time, the attacking teams are also grouped in the same manner, and the attack target (defensive side group) of each group of the first attacking team is determined. In the following, the operation during the attacking action of the first team will be described. However, after the attacking action of the first attacking team is completed, the actions related to the attacking action of the second attacking team are similarly performed after the offense and defense are switched.

  For example, the group of the first attack team set as described above is selected one by one in order, and the attack action is related to the determination of success or failure of the second operation according to the present invention after displaying the effect of starting the basic attack action for each group. The success or failure of the attacking action is determined. The success or failure of the attacking action is determined by the length of the gauge length provided in the attacking group and the defensive group as shown in FIG. 5 (a) (gauge game), and as illustrated, the attacking group If the gauge 501 exceeds the defensive gauge 502, it is determined that the attacking action is successful. Here, when the team is a player team, the determination of each gauge length is confirmed by an operation input (physical button operation) related to the gauge stop made while the gauge length is sequentially changed. The On the other hand, when the team is an opponent team operated by the NPC, the gauge length is determined by processing that the operation input related to the gauge stop is made at a timing determined at random by a lottery process or the like. . When the team is an opponent team operated by a user of another game device, the gauge length is determined by an operation input related to the gauge stop made in the other game device.

  If the attacking action is determined to be successful, the amount of damage (physical strength subtraction amount) given to the defensive team is confirmed, and the basic attacking action is successful (the defensive team character is hit without being guarded) Display of the first effect video related to the successful attack is presented. Also, if it is determined that the attack action is unsuccessful, the amount of damage that is smaller than that of the success will be confirmed, and the basic attack action will be failed (guarded by the character of the defensive team). The display of the 1st production animation concerning is started.

  In the description of the present invention, the effect animation is displayed for an event caused by a change in the game, preferably an event caused by an operation performed by the user, and progresses while changing contents continuously in at least a part of the section. A series of screen transitions (image / frame group) is shown. The display of the effect movie may be performed by playing a movie with a fixed content prepared in advance by a pre-rendering process or the like, and sequentially corresponds in consideration of dynamic change factors in the game. It may be performed by generating each frame by drawing an image. Hereinafter, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, as in the latter case, the display control unit 105 draws a game screen in accordance with the progress of the game and causes the first display unit 120 to display the effect animation. Will be described.

  The first production video is a production video that presents an action related to basic attack behavior, which is predetermined for each character or combination of characters in a group, for example, and basically does not depend on the success or failure of the attack behavior, A screen such as the screen 900 in FIG. 9A is sequentially displayed on the first display unit 120. The first performance video is composed of an attack motion by the character of the attacking group and an attack motion by the character of the defending group that receives the attack motion. If the combination is the same, the same progress is made every time. For example, the attack motion in the first effect video is determined by one character depending on the character of the attacking group or a combination thereof, and the attack motion is a common motion regardless of the character if the basic attack action fails. If (guard) is determined and the basic attack behavior is successful, one motion (hit) corresponding to the determined attack motion may be determined. Therefore, the generation of the first effect animation by the display control unit 105 applies the attack motion data determined for each character to the 3D model of the character in the attacking group, and each character in the 3D model of the character in the defending group. This is done on a frame-by-frame basis by applying the hit motion data determined for each frame.

  After the display of the first effect animation related to the basic attack behavior, the amount of damage to the defensive team is displayed. In this embodiment, it is assumed that even if the attack action is unsuccessful, less damage is given to the defensive team than at the time of success, but no damage is given at the time of failure. May be.

  In the game provided in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, when the gauge relating to the success or failure of the attack action is determined to be successful with a length exceeding the threshold 503 as shown in FIG. Next to the basic attack behavior, a special attack behavior occurs. The presentation of the special attack action is such that after the display of the first effect animation related to the basic attack action, the second effect animation related to the special attack action is first displayed before the damage amount is displayed. This is done by being displayed on the section 120. That is, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, there are three types of effect animations that are generated for the attacking behavior of one attacking group as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 6, FIG. 6A shows the display transition when the attack action is successful with a length exceeding the threshold 503, and FIG. 6B succeeds the attack action with a length not exceeding the threshold 503. FIG. 6C shows the display transition when the attack action fails.

  Unlike the basic attack behavior, the second presentation video related to the special attack behavior is displayed first as shown in FIG. 5 (b) so as to enhance the interest given to the user and to make the content more immersed. This is performed in conjunction with the unit 120 and the second display unit 130. More specifically, the display control unit 105 determines the positional relationship between the first display unit 120 and the second display unit 130 in the game apparatus 100 in generating each frame of the second effect moving image including a character that performs a special attack action. Based on this, two types of drawing viewpoints are defined, a drawing range of each viewpoint is determined so that display portions of the character do not overlap, and a screen to be displayed on each display unit is drawn. In the present embodiment, for the sake of simplicity, the special attack action that occurs after the basic attack action is performed by one character of the attacking group, and the techniques and skills specified for the character are activated. It is assumed that Special attack behavior is different from general actions (punch, kick, shooting, etc.) with general-purpose motion, such as those used to generate the first production video related to basic attack behavior. It is assumed that the motion is a motion accompanied by a motion uniquely determined for the character or a character having some attributes. When generating a special attack action, the control unit 101 further increases the amount of damage to the defensive team from the value determined for the success of the basic attack action.

  Here, the first effect movie and the second effect movie are effect movies classified into different types. The two production videos are displayed only on the first display unit 120 or on the first display unit 120 and the second display unit 130, and the action related to the character presented in the production video is a basic attack. Not only the difference between the action and the special attack action or whether the occurrence depends on the success or failure of the attack action, for example, it may be different in the following points.

  The first effect video is determined in accordance with the combination of the characters of the attacking group and the success or failure of the attacking action, and the composition of the effect is similar regardless of the combination. During the play, the effect animation having the same content is easily displayed repeatedly. On the other hand, the second performance video is generated under a limited condition that it is determined that the attacking action is successful and the gauge length exceeds the threshold value 503, and the action subject of the special attacking action, for example, Which one character is selected as the current state of the character in the game, the timing and number of occurrences of special actions during one game play, and the gauge length (threshold value 503 to maximum length) Depending on at least one of them), control that causes different special attack behavior is performed, and during the game play or the game play of the same time It is rare to be displayed repeatedly.

  For this reason, in the game provided in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, the display of the first effect video that can make the user bored by presenting the same content multiple times during one game play. An operation (skip operation) for not displaying the first effect moving image is accepted. Here, the non-display of the effect movie is the generation of the frame of the undisplayed section excluding the frame displayed until the operation is accepted, or the first display unit, of the entire displayed effect movie (frame group). This means that the display to 120 is not performed. The fact that an operation to be hidden can be accepted indicates that the operation can be input at a fixed position on the lower right in the screen (frame) 900 as shown in FIG. 9A, for example. A notification image 901 is displayed. The non-display operation may be accepted by an operation input to an operation member such as a button that the game apparatus 100 has.

  The input display control unit 105 controls the drawing so that the notification image 901 is displayed on the screen over the period in which the first effect moving image is displayed on the first display unit 120, and the control unit 101 controls the first effect animation. When it is accepted that an operation for non-display is performed during the video display period, the display control unit 105 is controlled to hide the first effect video. Further, in the present embodiment, when an operation for hiding the first effect moving image is performed, the control unit 101 performs control so as to hide all subsequent first effect moving images. That is, when an operation to hide the first effect video that can occur a plurality of times during one game play is performed during any display, the control unit 101 displays the operation when the operation is performed. Control is performed so that the undisplayed portion of the first effect movie that has been performed is not displayed, and display processing of the first effect movie that occurs thereafter is not performed. In the present embodiment, the description will be made assuming that all the first effect videos are not displayed due to the single non-display operation, but basically the display is always performed. In addition, the non-display portion may be hidden by performing an operation of non-display at each time. Alternatively, the subsequent first effect moving image may be hidden when triggered by a predetermined number of non-display operations.

  On the other hand, since the occurrence of the second effect video is rare and a larger amount of damage can be given to the defensive team than the value assumed in the basic offensive behavior, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment. In the provided game, control for hiding the second effect moving image is not performed in order to clearly indicate that a special attack action has occurred. Therefore, the display control unit 105 controls the drawing so that the notification image 901 is not displayed on the screen during the period in which the second effect moving image is displayed on the first display unit 120 and the second display unit 130. The display operation is not accepted during the display period of the second effect video. That is, when the condition for displaying the second effect moving image is satisfied, the second effect moving image is always displayed. By doing so, it is possible to make the user easily recognize that the special attack behavior that caused the amount of damage different from the basic attack behavior, and is composed of non-generic motion. It is possible to present a highly interesting production video. In the game device 100 of the present embodiment, the second effect moving image is described as being displayed using the first display unit 120 and the second display unit 130, but the present invention is not limited to this. Absent. However, the display of the production animation using the first display unit 120 and the second display unit 130 is easy to catch the eye, and it is more often to surely present the special attack behavior having a configuration different from the normal in this manner. As a result, the user can be favorably guided to use the game apparatus 100.

  As can be understood from the screens related to the second display unit 130 shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, in the action phase of the battle game executed in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, various types of cards are used. A game screen such as a strategy phase in which a related image is displayed according to the placement position is not displayed on the second display unit 130. This is because, in the action phase that does not require the card moving operation, the related image display related to the card is performed, so that the user can misunderstand that the card operation is necessary, or a display such as a gauge confirmation operation is performed. This is to avoid making it difficult to gaze at the one display unit 120. In the present embodiment, in the action phase, it is described that the attack area 401 and the standby area 402 related to the character placement determination are not displayed on the second display unit 130, but at least the related image is controlled not to be displayed. Since the above-described effects can be obtained, it will be understood that embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

  In other words, the operation phase and action phase of the battle game differ depending on whether or not a movement operation of the card placed on the placement panel 131 is accepted. Therefore, in the action phase, the display of the notification image 901 indicating that the operation to hide the first effect moving image can be accepted is performed on the first display unit 120 that is a screen to be noticed in the phase. In this case, the second display unit 130 is not used.

《Play offer processing》
A specific process of the play providing process executed in connection with one game play in the game apparatus 100 of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The processing corresponding to the flowchart can be realized by the control unit 101 reading, for example, a corresponding processing program stored in the recording medium 102, developing it in the memory 103, and executing it. In addition, this play provision process demonstrates as what is started when the payment detection part 104 detects that the injection | throwing-in regarding the one game play was made | formed, for example. During the execution of the play providing process, unless otherwise specified, the display control unit 105 generates a screen corresponding to the progress appropriately and the second display unit 130 and the first display unit based on the processes and commands performed by the control unit 101. It is assumed that the screen is displayed on 120.

  In step S <b> 701, the discharge control unit 108 causes the discharge unit 140 to discharge cards for the current game play under the control of the control unit 101.

  In step S <b> 702, the control unit 101 executes a play character registration process and registers a play character to be used in the battle game. The registration process is performed by placing a card related to a character that the user desires to appear as a player team on the placement panel 131 of the second display unit 130. In the registration process, the card recognition unit 106 determines that there is a change in the card placed on the placement panel 131 (detection of a new card, loss of a detected card (due to removal)). , Corresponding processing (information addition, deletion) is performed. For example, when a new card is detected, the card recognition unit 106 analyzes the invisible code attached to the card to acquire a character ID related to the associated character (acquisition of article information), and detects the card It outputs to the control part 101 with the information of a coordinate and a direction. And the control part 101 acquires the character information which concerns on a card | curd from character DB107 based on this character ID, adds to the play character management table which manages a play character, and stores it in the memory 103. FIG. The information of one record managed for one play character in the play character management table may have a data structure as shown in FIG. 3B, for example. In the example of FIG. 3B, information managed for one play character is associated with the acquired character ID 311, the character name 312, various parameters 313, display information 314, current card detection coordinates and direction 315. , And action points 316 used for displaying related images. At this time, since the input of the movement operation or the like is not necessary, the display control unit 105 displays a character image corresponding to the detected card on the first display unit 120 to grasp whether or not the card is normally recognized. It may be made possible to the user.

  In step S <b> 703, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the play character registration has been completed. The completion of the registration of the play character is determined based on the detection that the operation input related to the end of the registration by the user has been made and the registration of the upper limit number (7 bodies) of the play character has been completed. It's okay. If the control unit 101 determines that the registration of the play character has been completed, it moves the process to S704, and if it determines that the registration has not yet ended, it returns the process to S702.

  In S704, the control unit 101 determines an opponent character related to the opponent team of the battle game. The determination of the opponent character is based on, for example, the operation input related to the opponent selection or stage selection by the user, the progress of the game managed in association with the separately acquired user identification information, the result of a predetermined lottery process, etc. It may be done. The determined opponent character information may be registered as one record for each body in the opponent character management table stored in the memory 103, as with the play character. The information of one record managed by one opponent character in the opponent character management table may have the same data structure as the information managed in the play character management table. In this case, the information is managed as detected coordinates and directions 315. The information may be determined without being based on actual card placement when the opponent is an NPC.

  In step S <b> 705, the control unit 101 executes a game process related to a battle game in which the registered play character and the opponent character appear.

<Game processing>
Hereinafter, the game process of this step will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 801, the control unit 101 starts the operation phase for the current round. In the operation phase, the display control unit 105 refers to the detected coordinates and direction 315 of each player in the play character management table so that the related image is displayed on each of the cards detected by the card recognition unit 106 as described above. A game screen (game screen 400 + related image in FIG. 4A) to be displayed on the second display unit 130 is generated and updated. During the operation phase, the detected coordinate and direction 315 information of the play character management table managed for each play character is stored in the card according to the detection of the movement of the card made on the placement panel 131. The corresponding information may be changed and sequentially updated, and the display control unit 105 refers to the information at the timing of screen update, determines the drawing position and direction of the related image, and generates the game screen. The display shall be updated. During this time, the display control unit 105 also displays the game screen (game screen 420 in FIG. 4C) displayed on the first display unit 120 in accordance with the update of the play character management table or at a predetermined update frequency. It is assumed that the generation and display update are performed by reflecting the movement operation.

  In step S802, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the operation phase end condition is satisfied. For example, as described above, the operation phase is determined to satisfy the end condition on the condition that the operation for confirming the arrangement of the play characters has been performed or that the user operable time predetermined for the operation phase has elapsed. It may be a thing. The control unit 101 moves the process to S803 when determining that the operation phase end condition is satisfied, and repeats the process of this step when determining that the end condition is not satisfied.

  In step S <b> 803, the control unit 101 starts a behavior phase process related to the current round. When the action phase starts, the display control unit 105 displays a game screen to be displayed on the second display unit 130, for example, a bird's-eye view of a game field (world) related to a battle game, and a screen that does not display related images related to cards (FIG. 5). (Display according to the second display unit 130 of (a)).

  In step S804, the control unit 101 determines which of the player team and the opponent team is the first attack for the action phase related to the current round. The determination may be made based on the detected coordinates and direction 315 of the card placed so as to overlap the attack area 401 as described above, and the action points 316 to be consumed.

  In step S <b> 805, the control unit 101 executes attack behavior processing for performing various processes related to the attack behavior of the first team, with the first team as the attacking team and the second team as the defense team.

<Attack action processing>
Here, the attack action process executed in this step will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S1001, the control unit 101 divides the attacking team and the defensive team into groups, which are units for presenting an attacking action. Moreover, the control part 101 determines the group of the defensive team used as the attack object for each group of the classified attacking team.

  In step S <b> 1002, the control unit 101 sets, as a processing group, a group that has not yet presented an attack action among the attacking team groups.

  In step S <b> 1003, the control unit 101 determines the gauge length related to the attack behavior for the processing group and the attack target group (target group: the defensive team). The control unit 101 receives an operation input related to gauge stop and determines a gauge length related to a group of player teams. In addition, the control unit 101 executes a predetermined process related to the opponent team group, and determines the gauge length.

  In step S1004, the control unit 101 determines whether an operation for hiding the first effect moving image has already been performed. In the game device 100 of the present embodiment, when one operation is performed to hide the first effect video while the first effect video is displayed on the first display unit 120 during one game play. The control unit 101 stores, in the memory 103, information (for example, a logical type) indicating that an operation to hide is performed. Therefore, in this step, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the corresponding information is stored in the memory 103. If the control unit 101 determines that an operation to hide the first effect moving image has already been performed, the control unit 101 moves the process to S1010. If the control unit 101 determines that the operation is not made, the process moves to S1005.

  In step S1005, the control unit 101 determines the success or failure of the attack action based on the gauge length determined in step S1003. If the control unit 101 determines that the attacking action of the processing group is successful, the process proceeds to S1006. If the control unit 101 determines that the attacking action is unsuccessful, the control unit 101 proceeds to S1007.

  In step S <b> 1006, the control unit 101 causes the display control unit 105 to generate a first effect animation related to basic attack behavior, which indicates that the attack has hit the target group, and starts display on the first display unit 120. Let At this time, the display control unit 105 configures a screen to be displayed on the first display unit 120 by superimposing the notification image on the frame related to the first effect moving image.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S1005 that the attack behavior of the processing group has failed, the control unit 101 performs display control of the first effect video related to the basic attack behavior, which indicates that the target group guarded the attack in S1007. The image is generated by the unit 105 and the display on the first display unit 120 is started (display with a notification image as in S1006).

  In step S1008, the control unit 101 determines whether an operation for hiding the first effect moving image has been performed. If the control unit 101 determines that an operation to hide the first effect moving image has been performed, the control unit 101 moves the process to S1009 and interrupts the display control unit 105 from displaying the first effect moving image on the first display unit 120. Then, information indicating that the non-display operation has been performed is stored in the memory 103, and the process proceeds to S1010. In addition, when the control unit 101 determines that an operation for hiding the first effect moving image is not performed, the process of this step is repeated until the display of the first effect moving image is completed (displayed until the final frame). . When the display of the first effect moving image is completed without performing the non-display operation, the control unit 101 does not perform the process of S1009 related to the display interruption of the first effect moving image, and the process is performed in S1010. Move to.

  In step S1010, the control unit 101 determines whether or not to generate a special attack action related to the processing group based on the gauge length determined in step S1003. More specifically, the control unit 101 determines whether or not to generate a special attack behavior based on two conditions that the attack behavior of the processing group is successful and the determined gauge length exceeds the threshold value. If the control unit 101 determines that a special attack action related to the processing group is to be generated, the control unit 101 shifts the process to S1011. If the control unit 101 determines not to generate the special attack behavior, the control unit 101 shifts the process to S1012.

  In step S1011, the control unit 101 determines any character in the processing group as an action subject, causes the display control unit 105 to generate a second effect moving image related to the special attack action defined for the character, Display on the display unit 120 and the second display unit 130 is started. At this time, the display control unit 105 configures a screen to be displayed on each of the first display unit 120 and the second display unit 130 without superimposing the notification image on the frame related to the second effect moving image.

  In step S1012, the control unit 101 subtracts the team strength of the defensive team based on the amount of damage determined for the attack behavior of the processing group. Further, the control unit 101 controls the display control unit 105 so that the amount of damage is displayed on the first display unit 120.

  In step S1013, the control unit 101 determines whether there is a group on the attacking team that has not yet presented the attacking action. If the control unit 101 determines that there is a group that has not yet presented the attacking action, the control unit 101 returns the process to step S1002, and if it determines that there is no such action, completes the attacking action process.

  When the attack action processing of the first team is completed in this way, the control unit 101 replaces the first team and the second team in S806, that is, the second team is set as the attacking team, and the first team is set as the defensive team. An attack behavior process for performing various processes related to the attack behavior of the attack team is executed. Needless to say, the process of S806 may be performed only when the team strength of the late attack team is 0 or more (remains) after the process of S805.

  In step S <b> 807, the control unit 101 determines the character of each character managed in the character management table for each team according to the action performed for the current round (including not only the attack action but also the placement in the waiting area 402). The action point 316 is updated.

  In S808, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the battle game end condition is satisfied. The competition game end condition may be determined based on whether or not the team physical strength of any team is 0 or more, or whether or not the current round is the final round. The control unit 101 completes the game process when it is determined that the battle game end condition is satisfied, and returns the process to S801 when it is determined that the match condition is not satisfied, and performs the process related to the next round.

  When the game process is completed, the display control unit 105 displays the result of the battle game on the first display unit 120 in S706 of the play providing process, and then completes the play providing process. By doing in this way, in the game device 100 of this embodiment, since display / non-display can be selected for at least the first effect video, the game play experience varies depending on the purpose and taste of each user. It becomes possible to make it. In addition, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, when an operation to hide the first effect video is performed, the play time for the time required for displaying the first effect video per game play is shortened. As a result, it is possible to increase the turnover rate (utilization rate per unit time) of the game apparatus 100, and to avoid the prolongation of the standby time that can reduce the interest of the user waiting for the game play.

[Modification 1]
In the above-described embodiment, a notification image indicating that an operation for non-display can be received during display of the first effect video is displayed, and when the operation is performed, the first effect video being displayed is displayed. In the above description, the non-displayed portion is hidden. Thereby, the play time concerning game play is shortened, and the raise of the rotation rate of the game device 100 can be guide | induced. This effect is particularly suitable for a user who is waiting for a play experience on the game apparatus 100.

  However, an aspect in which such an effect is realized is that the user who is playing the game wants to shorten the play time, desires to avoid the repeated display of the first effect animation with similar contents, etc. This is limited to those who have the taste and purpose. That is, the shortening of the playing time in the game apparatus 100 is realized when a user with a specific taste or purpose plays, and is difficult to realize in the game play of other users. An increase may not always be expected.

  For this reason, when operation which hides the 1st effect animation is made so that operation which hides the 1st effect animation may be urged to more users, and the effect of an increase in a rotation rate may be made easy to be realized. The control unit 101 may perform control so that the progress of the game is advantageous to the user who is playing, in addition to the control to hide the undisplayed portion of the first effect moving image being displayed. In other words, by controlling the game to proceed advantageously, a more entertaining play experience may be provided to the user who has contributed to the increase in the rotation rate of the game apparatus 100. At this time, the notification image may be configured to notify the user that the progress of the game is advantageous when an operation for non-display is performed.

  For example, in the case where there is an opportunity to display the first effect video a plurality of times during one game play as in the above-described embodiment, the control for making the game proceed advantageously is not displayed at an earlier display opportunity. You may comprise so that it may become more advantageous if the operation is performed, ie, it becomes so advantageous that there are few display times of a 1st effect animation. By doing in this way, it will lead to a decrease in the number of times of display of the first effect video during game play as the operation for non-display is performed earlier, and as a result, the game play time is further increased. It becomes possible to shorten.

  In addition to or in place of this, control is performed so that the game progresses more advantageously as the number of display frames of the first effect moving image is smaller, that is, as the time during which the first effect moving image is displayed is shorter. You may do.

[Modification 2]
In the above-described embodiment, the notification image is described as being displayed at a fixed position in the screen displayed on the first display unit 120. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. As described in the first modification, the degree of contribution to the increase in the rotation rate of the game apparatus 100 is higher when the operation of making the first effect moving image non-displayed at an earlier display opportunity is performed. Accordingly, for example, the display position of the notification image 901 is changed from the lower right as shown in FIG. 9A to a predetermined position such as the center where the user is more likely to be noticed according to the number of times the first effect video is displayed. You may comprise so that it may change sequentially.

  Further, the display position of the notification image is not configured so that the probability of attention varies depending on the number of display times, but is used by the user in the first effect moving image, for example, as shown in FIG. It may be displayed at a position (in the vicinity, etc.) corresponding to the display position of the character (player team character) (911 in the figure).

[Modification 3]
Further, in the embodiment and the modified examples 1 and 2, it is assumed that a notification image indicating that a non-display operation can be received is always displayed in a plurality of first effect videos, Such a notification image is troublesome for a user who wants to enjoy watching and can hinder a suitable play experience. Therefore, the notification image is controlled to be displayed only at the time of displaying the first effect movie for the first time, or the first effect movie for a predetermined number of times from the first time, and no operation for non-display is performed during the display. When the first or predetermined number of first effect videos are displayed to the end without being hidden, the control unit 101 does not display the notification image when the first effect movie is displayed thereafter. 105 may be controlled.

[Other Embodiments]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The game device according to the present invention can also be realized by a program that causes one or more computers to function as the game device. The program can be provided / distributed by being recorded on a computer-readable recording medium or through a telecommunication line.
