[First Embodiment]
[Game Overview]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the following description, a case where the game played by the game device of the present embodiment is a music game will be described as an example. A music game is a type of timing game in which an object displayed on a game screen is operated in accordance with a reference operation timing (evaluation reference timing) set for the object, and music is used as a guide for evaluation reference timing. Game.

In addition, the game device according to the present embodiment may be a mobile terminal device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal, or may be a stationary type used at home, or an arcade game installed in a store or the like May be a game device corresponding to the above. In the following description, a case where the game device of the present embodiment is a mobile terminal device will be described as an example.
Moreover, the display part with which the portable terminal device of this embodiment is comprised is comprised as a touchscreen, and the case where operation with respect to the music game of this embodiment is performed with respect to the touchscreen by which a game screen is displayed is mentioned as an example.
Further, the operating body that touches the touch panel in operation may be a finger, for example, a stylus pen. However, in the following description, a case where the touch panel is operated using the finger as an operating body will be described as an example.

A user who wants to play the music game of the present embodiment obtains a card (character card) corresponding to the character that he can use for play from among a plurality of characters prepared in correspondence with the music game. Like that.
In the present embodiment, a card (character card) corresponding to a character is an electronic medium including data related to the character.
The character card may be, for example, a card having an IC chip, a magnetic card on which data is recorded by magnetism, or a physical medium on which data is recorded by a two-dimensional barcode. Moreover, as a physical medium having a function equivalent to that of a character card, for example, various kinds of toys including an IC chip may be used.

When playing a music game, the user first sets a character to be used in the music game. The number of characters to be used in the music game of the present embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it is plural, but in the following description, a case where there are five characters is taken as an example. In addition, on the game screen of the music game of the present embodiment, five timing operation areas (an example of determination positions) are arranged corresponding to each of the five characters used in the music game.
For each of the five timing operation areas, the user performs an operation on the game device to assign different character cards one by one from among the character cards owned by the user. That is, prior to the start of the play of the music game of the present embodiment, one different character is assigned to each of the five timing operation areas as advance preparation.

Note that the user does not necessarily have to obtain five or more character cards in order to play a music game.
For example, when the user has obtained only four character cards, the user may assign each of the characters corresponding to the four character cards to any four timing operation areas of the five timing operation areas.
As described above, when the user assigns less than five characters to the timing operation area, the game apparatus assigns the game device from the characters prepared in the music game according to the present embodiment. A character that has not been assigned may be selected, and the selected character may be assigned to a timing operation area that remains without being assigned by the user, or a timing operation in which a character card is not assigned. The area may be blank.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a game screen that is displayed in response to the assignment of the character to the timing operation area as described above before the start of the play of the music game.

In the lower part of the game screen of FIG. 5, five timing operation areas TAR-1, TAR-2, TAR-3, TAR-4, and TAR-5 are displayed in a state of being arranged in the horizontal direction. The In the following description, the timing operation areas TAR-1 to TAR-5 will be described as the timing operation area TAR unless particularly distinguished.
Further, the determination line ELN is arranged so as to cross the timing operation areas TAR-1, TAR-2, TAR-3, TAR-4, and TAR-5 in the horizontal direction. The determination line ELN is a line that is displayed for a guide to the user as a determination criterion for timing operations for Notes.

The timing operation area TAR in FIG. An icon image representing the assigned character is displayed in a circular frame as the timing operation area TAR. The shape of the timing operation area TAR is not limited to the circle shown in the figure, and may be, for example, an ellipse or a predetermined polygon.
Further, character images CH-1 to CH-5 representing the whole body of the assigned character are displayed above the timing operation areas TAR-1 to TAR-5. In the following description, the character images CH-1 to CH-5 will be described as character images CH unless otherwise distinguished.
By looking at such a timing operation area TAR and the character image CH, the user can confirm which character is assigned to which timing operation area TAR even during the play of the music game.
Note that the character image CH may be displayed as if there is a movement on the game screen, or may be displayed in a stationary state.

  In addition, on the game screen of FIG. 5, the determination line ELN is arranged so as to cross the timing operation areas TAR-1 to TAR-5 in the horizontal direction. The determination line ELN is a line that is displayed for a guide to the user as a determination criterion for timing operations for Notes.

Further, gauges GAR-1 to GAR-5 are arranged below the timing operation areas TAR-1 to TAR-5, respectively. In the following description, the gauges GAR-1 to GAR-5 are referred to as gauges GAR unless otherwise distinguished.
The gauge GAR indicates the current physical strength value (an example of a definition value) for the corresponding character (character assigned to the corresponding timing operation area TAR) by the length of the horizontal bar. The physical strength value is a numerical value defined as representing the remaining physical strength of the corresponding character.
The physical strength value indicated by the gauge GAR decreases by a predetermined decrease value when the evaluation result of the timing operation for the corresponding timing operation area TAR is lower than a certain level during the play of the music game.
In the case of the same figure, the physical strength values indicated by the gauges GAR-1 to GAR-5 indicate initial values set in the music game because the state is before the start of the music game play. That is, the physical strength value in the figure shows a state where the gauge is full and has not yet been reduced.

In addition, the gauges GAR-1 to GAR-5 shown in FIG. This indicates that the initial value of the physical strength value differs correspondingly for each character. That is, in the present embodiment, the physical strength value is set so that the initial value is different corresponding to each timing operation area TAR.
Note that the initial values of the physical strength values are made different for each character, and the lengths of the gauges GAR-1 to GAR-5 corresponding to the initial values of the physical strength values may be the same. In this case, for example, when the physical strength value decreases due to damage, or when the physical strength value increases due to recovery, the length that changes corresponding to the increase / decrease value per unit is different for each of the gauges GAR-1 to GAR-5. Different.

And the initial value of a physical strength value is set as follows, for example based on the attribute of a corresponding character.
The character card includes character data indicating the content of each predetermined attribute for the corresponding character. For example, the character data includes information (attribute information) indicating various character attributes related to the character type (type), special skill, experience value, and the like, together with a character identifier uniquely indicating the corresponding character. Among such attribute information, for example, a combination of a character type (class), a special skill, and the like is inherently different for each character. In addition, attribute information that reflects the degree of character growth, such as experience values, depends on the history of play (nurturing) using the character by the user in previous music games (number of times played, results, etc.) It will be different for each character.

Therefore, when setting (derived) the initial value of the physical strength value corresponding to one character, the game apparatus acquires one or more pieces of predetermined attribute information from the character data indicated on the character card of the corresponding character. . For example, the game device calculates an initial value of the physical strength value by a predetermined calculation using a value (attribute value) indicated by the acquired attribute information.
Alternatively, the game device may derive the initial value of the physical strength value using a physical strength value table in which a combination of one or more predetermined attribute information and the initial value of the physical strength value are associated with each other. That is, the game device may acquire the initial value of the physical strength value associated with the combination of attribute values indicated by the acquired attribute information from the physical strength value table. The physical strength value table may be stored in, for example, a game device, or may be stored in a game server connected to the game device via a network or the like.
Alternatively, the attribute information in the character data includes, for example, a physical strength value (default physical strength value) having a value determined as a default. Therefore, the game device may obtain the initial value of the physical strength value corresponding to one character based on the default physical strength value of the corresponding character and predetermined attribute information other than the default physical strength value in the character data. For example, the game device may obtain the initial value of the physical strength value by multiplying the default physical strength value of the character by a coefficient based on predetermined attribute information other than the default physical strength value.
Alternatively, for a character, for example, a level indicating a level based on experience values may be set, and a physical strength value may be set according to the level. Such a physical strength value is changed so as to increase as the character level-ups, but the amount of increase at the time of the change varies from character to character, a random value generated at the time of leveling up, etc. It depends on. That is, the physical strength value set for each character is different for each character, and even if the same level is set for the same character among users, different physical strength values may be set for each user.
Therefore, the game device may refer to the stamina value set according to the level of the character as described above, and set the referred stamina value as the initial value of the stamina value in the game. Even in this case, it is possible to set different initial values of physical strength values for each character.

  As described above, the game device derives an initial value of a physical strength value that is different for each character set in the timing operation area TAR based on the attribute value indicated by the predetermined attribute information corresponding to the character. The game apparatus reflects the derived initial value of the physical strength value for each character on the display of the gauge GAR to which the character corresponds as shown in FIG. That is, the game apparatus displays each gauge GAR with the length in the horizontal direction according to the initial value of the physical strength value for each character.

  In the present embodiment, the physical strength value set in this way is associated with the character. In addition, considering that the character is associated with the timing operation area TAR, it is considered that the physical strength value is also associated with the timing operation area TAR. In the following description, it is assumed that the physical strength value is associated with both the character and the timing operation area TAR.

  And the user who is going to play performs the operation (play start instruction operation) which instruct | indicates a play start in the state where the game screen before a play start is displayed like the figure. In response to the play start instruction operation, the game device starts the progress of the music game.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the game screen at a timing when a certain time has elapsed since the progress of the music game was started. That is, the game screen shown in the figure shows an example under a state in which the music game is in progress.
In the game screen shown in the figure, five Notes appearance areas AAR-1, AAR-2, AAR-3, AAR-4, and AAR-5 are arranged on the upper side so as to be arranged in the horizontal direction. In the drawing, Notes appearing areas AAR-1 to AAR-5 are indicated by broken lines, indicating that Notes appearing areas AAR-1 to AAR-5 are not explicitly displayed on the game screen. The notes appearance area is an area where notes appear. Notes are objects that are displayed as timing operation targets on the game screen.
Note appearance areas AAR-1 to AAR-5 may be explicitly displayed on the game screen. Further, in the following description, when the notes appearance areas AAR-1 to AAR-5 are not particularly distinguished, they are described as the notes appearance area AAR.
In the example shown in the figure, there are five Notes appearance areas AAR, which are the same number as the timing operation area TAR, but the Notes appearance areas AAR are not necessarily the same number as the timing operation area TAR. The number of Notes appearance areas AAR may be arbitrarily set as long as it is 1 or more.

In the music game of the present embodiment, as the music progresses, Notes NT appropriately appears from any one of Notes appearance areas AAR-1 to AAR-5 at timings determined respectively.
The Notes NT that has emerged from one Notes appearance area AAR moves to any one of the timing operation areas TAR-1 to TAR-5 that is designated in advance. The Notes NT is configured to reach the timing operation area TAR at the evaluation reference timing associated with the Notes NT.

In addition, regarding Notes NT shown in the figure, the case where all are single notes is given as an example. Single Notes is a Notes NT associated with one evaluation reference timing.
Further, in the music game of the present embodiment, long notes may appear in addition to single notes. A long note is a note in which a touch operation in accordance with an evaluation reference timing (start evaluation reference timing) for starting an operation and a hold for maintaining a state in which a finger is brought into contact with the touch panel from the touch operation are designated. In addition, with respect to the long notes, there may be one in which the end evaluation reference timing for releasing the hold state is specified, and one in which the end evaluation reference timing is not specified. Other types of notes, such as flick notes that require a flick operation to move the finger as the operating object on the screen, and slide notes that require a slide operation to move the finger as the operating object on the screen. May also be made to appear.
Hereinafter, in order to simplify the description, a single notes is used as an example for the description regarding the Notes NT.

  In the game space represented on the game screen, the notes appearance area AAR is positioned on the upper back side, and the timing operation area TAR is positioned on the lower front side. For this reason, according to the perspective method, at the timing of appearing from the notes appearance area AAR, the notes NT are displayed small, and are displayed so as to gradually increase as they approach the timing operation area TAR. That is, the notes NT on the game screen are displayed so as to represent a state in which they move from the back in the game space to the note appearance area AAR on the near side.

One reference timing (evaluation reference timing) defined by sequence data is set in the Notes NT as a single note shown in FIG. The Notes NT appears from the Notes appearance area AAR at the timing (time) calculated based on the evaluation reference timing, and moves so as to reach the timing operation area TAR at the evaluation reference timing. Here, the state in which the Notes NT has reached the timing operation area TAR at the evaluation reference timing is more specifically a state in which the Notes NT is just within a circle as the timing operation area TAR.
The user performs a single tap operation on the timing operation area TAR-1 so that the notes NT appearing from the notes appearance area AAR reach the timing at which the destination timing operation area TAR arrives. In this way, the timing operation for the Notes NT is performed.
In a state where the Notes NT has reached the timing operation area TAR and is just within the circle as the timing operation area TAR, the position of the determination line ELN coincides with the center of the circular Notes NT. That is, the determination line ELN displayed on the game screen serves as a guide indicating the timing at which the user should perform the timing operation on the game screen.

The game device evaluates the timing operation based on the time difference (degree of matching) between the timing at which the tap operation is performed as the timing operation performed as described above and the evaluation reference timing of the Notes NT.
In this embodiment, according to the time difference, the best evaluation (“Perfect”), the next best evaluation (“Great”), the next best evaluation (“Good”), and the lowest evaluation (“Bad”). An example is given of the case where the evaluation is performed so that one evaluation rank is selected from among the evaluation ranks of any one of “)”.

When the game apparatus evaluates the timing operation performed by the user as described above, the game apparatus reflects the evaluation result on the game result of the user.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, for example, when an evaluation result of “Bad” having the lowest evaluation rank (an example of a low evaluation result) is obtained, a timing operation that results in an evaluation result of “Bad” is performed. The physical strength value corresponding to the timing operation area TAR is decreased. In the present embodiment, the number of points (decrease amount) to be decreased from the physical strength value according to the evaluation result of one “Bad” may be a predetermined constant value.
Here, in the present embodiment, the physical strength value to be decreased in response to the evaluation result of “Bad” as described above is determined by the timing operation at which the evaluation result of “Bad” is obtained. It is limited to the physical strength value corresponding to one performed timing operation area TAR. In other words, the physical fitness value corresponding to another timing operation area TAR that is not the timing operation area TAR in which the timing operation for which the evaluation result of “Bad” was obtained is reduced according to the evaluation result of “Bad”. It will never be done.
The game device changes the display of the corresponding gauge GAR so that the decreased physical strength value is reflected in response to the decrease in the physical strength value according to the evaluation result of “Bad” as described above.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the physical strength value is associated with each timing operation area TAR individually. In addition, the physical strength value is controlled to be decreased according to the evaluation result of “Bad” for the corresponding timing operation area TAR. That is, the physical strength value corresponding to each timing operation area TAR changes individually according to the timing operation performed on the corresponding timing operation area TAR. For this reason, as shown in the game screen of the same figure, the physical strength values shown for each gauge GAR are different from each other at a certain timing in the course of the music game.

  If a better evaluation result than “Bad” such as “Perfect”, “Great”, “Good”, etc. is obtained, for example, the character corresponding to the timing operation area TAR in which the timing operation is performed is evaluated. A predetermined reward corresponding to the result is given. As an example of such a reward, for example, the game device calculates a score to be given to the character corresponding to the timing operation area TAR where the timing operation has been performed, and the calculated score has been given to the character so far Add to the total score (score). In this case, although not shown in the figure, for example, a score corresponding to each character may be displayed in a predetermined area on the game screen.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the state of the game screen at a timing when a certain time has passed from the state of FIG. 2 as the game screen during the progress of the music game.
Between the timing of the game screen in FIG. 2 and the timing at which the game screen in FIG. 2 is displayed, the user operates each timing operation area TAR in response to the appearance of Notes NT. The evaluation result of “Bad” is obtained several times in the region TAR. For this reason, in the same figure, the state which the physical strength value shown in each gauge GAR has decreased rather than the case of FIG. 2 is shown.

In addition, in the figure, among the gauges GAR-1 to GAR-5, the gauge GAR-5 shows a state in which the physical strength value is “0”. The fact that the physical strength value indicated by the gauge GAR-5 is “0” in this way indicates that the physical character of the corresponding character has completely disappeared, so that the player cannot be active in the currently played music game.
As described above, when the physical strength value of the gauge GAR-5 becomes “0”, the corresponding timing operation area TAR-5 cannot accept the timing operation. As described above, when the character's physical strength value is “0” and the timing operation cannot be accepted, the icon portion of the character is grayed out, for example, as shown in the timing operation area TAR-5 in FIG. It is expressed by changing to a mode indicating that the operation is impossible.

Under the progress of the music game, Notes NT appears according to the sequence data. For this reason, some of the appearing Notes NT also move to the timing operation area TAR-5 where the timing operation cannot be accepted. However, in this state, even if the user performs a timing operation according to the Notes NT that has arrived at the timing operation area TAR-5, it is not an evaluation target, and the reward according to the evaluation result is a timing operation area TAR. It will not be given to characters corresponding to -5.
In this way, the fact that the operation for the timing operation area TAR cannot be accepted corresponds to a state in which the character cannot be active.

In the present embodiment, the physical strength value of “0” indicated in the gauge GAR as described above is restored when a predetermined time elapses during the progress of the music game.
The predetermined time until the physical fitness value is restored may be a fixed value determined in advance. For example, the predetermined time is set according to the attribute of the character and the history of the evaluation results of the timing operation for the corresponding timing operation area TAR. May be.
Further, the physical strength value of the gauge GAR at the time of restoration may be returned to the initial value derived before the start of the music game play, or may be returned to a predetermined value less than the initial value.

In addition, the figure shows a state where one recovery note NT-R appears on the game screen. The recovery note NT-R is a note having a function of recovering (that is, increasing) the physical strength value of the gauge GAR corresponding to the destination timing operation area TAR.
In the example of the figure, the recovery note NT-R is about to reach the timing operation area TAR-3. In this case, the user performs a timing operation in accordance with the timing at which the recovery notes NT-R arrives at the timing operation area TAR-3. In the present embodiment, the recovery note NT-R has a function of recovering the physical strength value only when the physical strength value is greater than “0”.

The game device determines whether or not to restore the physical strength value based on the evaluation result of the timing operation on the recovery notes NT-R as described above.
As an example, the game device restores the physical fitness value when the evaluation rank of “Perfect”, “Great”, “Good”, “Bad” is higher than a predetermined level, and the evaluation result is less than a certain level. You may decide not to recover your health value. As an example, the game apparatus recovers the physical strength value in the case of the evaluation result of “Perfect” or “Great”, but does not recover the physical fitness value in the case of the evaluation rank of “Good” or “Bad” lower than this. It can be determined as follows.
In this case, there is no particular limitation as to how the physical strength value is recovered. For example, the physical strength value may be recovered by adding a predetermined recovery value to the current physical strength value, or the physical strength value may be recovered to return to the initial value. When the recovery value is added to the physical strength value, the recovery value may be a fixed value determined in advance. For example, the recovery value may be included in the history of the evaluation result of the timing operation for the character attribute and the corresponding timing operation area TAR. It may be set accordingly.
Further, the game device may change the recovery value to be added to the physical strength value according to the rank of the evaluation result of the timing operation with respect to the timing operation area TAR.

The game is over in response to the fact that the physical strength values of all the gauges GAR are in a state of “0” at the timing before the music game ends. For example, if the physical strength value of the gauge GAR becomes “0” one after another before the time for the physical strength value to recover due to an error in timing operation continues, all the timings before the music game tune ends in this way The health value of the gauge GAR can be in a state of “0”.
On the other hand, if the stamina value shown in all the gauges GAR does not become “0” and the player can play until the music is finished, the music game can be cleared.
In the above example, the timing operation for the corresponding timing operation area TAR cannot be accepted when the physical strength value indicated by the gauge GAR becomes “0”. However, for example, the timing operation may not be accepted when the physical strength value is equal to or less than a predetermined value greater than “0”.

[Configuration example of game device]
With reference to FIG. 4, the structural example of the game device 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated. The game device 10 in FIG. 1 includes a touch panel 110, a game control unit 120, a storage unit 130, and a sound output unit 140.

The touch panel 110 includes a display unit 111 and an operation input unit 112. The display unit 111 displays an image according to the display control of the game control unit 120. The operation input unit 112 includes, for example, a touch pad provided on the screen of the display unit 111, detects an operation performed by touching the touch pad with an operation body such as a finger, and sends an operation detection signal to the game control unit. 120 is output.
Note that the game apparatus 10 may include an operator or an operation device other than the touch panel.

The game control unit 120 executes various controls for realizing the music game of the present embodiment in the game apparatus 10. The function as the game control unit 120 is realized by, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) included in the game apparatus 10 executing a music game application program in the present embodiment.
The game control unit 120 includes a display control unit 121, a definition value deriving unit 122, an evaluation unit 123, and a definition value control unit 124 as functional units corresponding to the music game.

The display control unit 121 executes control related to display of the game screen of the present embodiment.
The definition value deriving unit 122 associates each initial value of the physical strength value individually associated with each of the plurality of timing operation areas TAR for which the operation timing is determined in the music game of this embodiment, with the timing operation area TAR. Derived based on the attribute information (an example of a predetermined parameter value) of the given character.

The evaluation unit 123 evaluates the degree of coincidence between the predetermined evaluation reference timing and the timing operation timing (operation timing) for the timing operation area TAR. That is, the evaluation unit 123 determines the evaluation reference timing associated with the operation target Notes NT in response to the timing operation for the Notes NT displayed on the game screen being performed on the timing operation area TAR. Evaluate the degree of coincidence with the timing operation.
As described above, the evaluation unit 123 of the present embodiment adopts one of the evaluation results of “Perfect”, “Great”, “Good”, and “Bad” according to the degree of coincidence.

The definition value control unit 124 controls the stamina value for each character associated with the timing operation area TAR. The definition value control unit 124, when the evaluation unit 123 obtains a low evaluation result (for example, the lowest evaluation (“Bad”)) that does not satisfy the predetermined level, the timing at which the low evaluation result is obtained. The physical strength value associated with the operation area TAR is decreased.
Further, the definition value control unit 124 increases the physical strength value of “0” to a predetermined value in accordance with the elapse of a certain time after the physical strength value becomes “0” while the music game is in progress. That is, the definition value control unit 124 can restore the physical strength value.
Further, the defined value control unit 124 sets the physical strength value corresponding to the timing operation region TAR in which the timing operation is performed on the recovery notes NT-R to a predetermined value according to the evaluation result of the timing operation on the recovery notes NT-R. increase. That is, the definition value control unit 124 can recover the physical strength value.

  The storage unit 130 stores various information used by the game control unit 120. The storage unit 130 shown in the figure includes a music data storage unit 131, a sequence data storage unit 132, and a sound source data storage unit 133.

  The music data storage unit 131 stores music data for playing music in a music game. The song data storage unit 131 may store a plurality of song data corresponding to a plurality of different songs. The music used in the game may be selected by a user operation. The game control unit 120 may read and reproduce the music data corresponding to the music selected by the user operation from the music data storage unit 131 when the game is executed.

The sequence data storage unit 132 stores sequence data. The sequence data is information indicating the evaluation reference timing corresponding to the timing operation to be performed by the user according to the progress of the music reproduced by the music data. As described above, in this embodiment, the evaluation reference timing is associated with Notes.
The sequence data storage unit 132 stores sequence data corresponding to each piece of music stored in the music data storage unit 131, for example. A plurality of pieces of sequence data corresponding to one piece of music data may be stored depending on, for example, the degree of difficulty. For example, the user can perform an operation of selecting a game difficulty level.

  The game control unit 120 reads out the sequence data corresponding to the difficulty selected by the user operation from the sequence data corresponding to the selected music from the sequence data storage unit 132, and processes the read sequence data To do. Thereby, the game control part 120 can perform the display regarding the appearance from the Notes appearance area | region AAR and the movement to the timing operation area | region TAR about Notes NT in a game screen. Further, the game control unit 120 can evaluate the timing operation performed by the user.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the contents of the sequence data in the present embodiment. The sequence data shown in the figure includes a condition definition unit and a sequence unit.
In the condition definition section, information specifying various conditions for executing the game, such as a song ID that is an identifier uniquely indicating the corresponding song, a tempo of the song, a track configuration, and a reproduction time, is described.

In the sequence part of the present embodiment, information for controlling notes to be output in accordance with the progress of music in the music game is described. Such a sequence part includes Notes information corresponding to each Notes NT.
In the Notes information, movement information and timing information are described. The movement information is information for designating a movement pattern on the game screen for the corresponding Notes. The timing information is information for designating the timing at which the corresponding notes are to be operated in the progression of music. In the present embodiment, the timing at which the Notes should be operated is the evaluation reference timing. The evaluation reference timing is the timing at which Notes should reach the timing operation area TAR on the game screen.

As a specific example, three Notes information Dn1, Dn2, and Dn3 are shown in the figure. For Notes information Dn1, Dn2, and Dn3, examples of information specifying Notes NT as single notes are given.
Notes information Dn1 is described as “1to3_05_1.00”. In the description, “1to3” on the left side of “_” is movement information, and “05.1.00” on the right side is timing information.
The numerical value on the left side of “to” in the movement information indicates the number of the Notes appearance area AAR where the corresponding Notes NT should appear. The numbers “1” to “5” are assigned to the Notes appearance areas AAR-1 to AAR-5, respectively. Also, the numerical value on the right side of “to” in the movement information indicates the number of the timing operation area TAR that the corresponding Notes should reach. Numbers “1” to “5” are assigned to the timing operation areas TAR-1 to TAR-5, respectively.
The description of “01.1.00” of the timing information in the Notes information Dn1 includes the values “01”, “1”, and “00” separated by “.” In order from the left. These three values represent one evaluation reference timing. That is, the leftmost value indicates the bar number, the subsequent right value indicates the beat number in one bar, and the rightmost value indicates the tick number in the corresponding beat. For example, if the resolution of one beat is set to “96”, the tick number is in the range of “00” to “95”.
Therefore, the Notes information Dn1 of the figure appears in the Notes appearance area AAR-1 on the game screen for the corresponding Notes NT, and the timing operation area TAR at the time corresponding to the first beat of the 5th bar. The time corresponding to the beginning of the first beat of the 5th bar is designated as the evaluation reference timing.

  Based on the notes information Dn1, the game control unit 120 displays single notes on the game screen as follows. The game control unit 120 causes the corresponding notes to appear from the notes appearance area AAR-1 at a time that is a predetermined time after the evaluation reference timing indicated by the timing information. The game control unit 120 moves the single notes appearing from the notes appearance area AAR-1 so as to reach the timing operation area TAR-3 at the evaluation reference timing.

  The Notes information Dn2 is described as “2to5_33.1.00”. The notes information Dn2 described in this manner moves so as to appear in the notes appearance area AAR-2 on the game screen so as to reach the timing operation area TAR-5 for the corresponding long notes. Designates that the time corresponding to the beginning of the first beat is the evaluation reference timing.

The Notes information Dn3 is described as “4to1_64.1.00_rcv”. The description format of the timing information in the notes information Dn3 specifies the recovery notes NT-R. The description part “rcv” in the description of the Notes information Dn3 specifies that the corresponding Notes is the recovery Notes NT-R.
Notes information Dn3 of the figure with such description moves so as to appear in the notes appearance area AAR-4 and reach the timing operation area TAR-1 on the game screen, and to the first beat of the 64th measure. Specifies that the time corresponding to the beginning is a recovery note whose evaluation reference timing is set.

  Returning to FIG. The sound source data storage unit 133 stores sound source data as game sounds such as various sound effects. The sound source data stored in the sound source data storage unit 133 includes, for example, sound source data of game sound indicating the evaluation result of the timing operation performed by the user. For example, when evaluating the timing operation, the game control unit 120 reads sound source data corresponding to the evaluation result from the sound source data storage unit 133 and causes the sound output unit 140 to output sound based on the sound source data.

  The sound output unit 140 outputs sounds such as music and game sounds in the music game in accordance with the control of the game control unit 120. The sound output unit 140 may be configured to include a speaker, or may be configured to output an audio signal from an earphone terminal or the like.

[Example of processing procedure]
With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6, an example of a processing procedure executed by the game apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment in association with the derivation of the initial value of the physical strength value corresponding to each character will be described.
As described above, the user performs an operation of assigning a character for each timing operation area TAR (character assignment operation) using a character card owned by the user prior to the start of playing the music game. The game control unit 120 executes a process of associating characters for each timing operation area TAR in accordance with the character assignment operation by the user (step S100).

Next, the definition value deriving unit 122 selects one character from which the initial value of the physical strength value is derived from the characters associated with each of the timing operation areas TAR in Step S100 (Step S102).
The definition value deriving unit 122 acquires attribute information about the target character selected in step S102 from, for example, data of a character card corresponding to the target character (step S104). At this time, the definition value deriving unit 122 may acquire the attribute information necessary for deriving the initial value of the physical strength value from among various attribute information about the character.
The definition value deriving unit 122 derives the initial value Phti of the physical fitness value by using the attribute value of the attribute information acquired in step S104 (step S106). In this way, the initial value Phti of the physical strength value for one character selected as the target in step S102 is derived.

Next, the definition value control unit 124 performs the initial setting of the physical strength value for one target character selected in Step S102 based on the initial value Phti derived in Step S106 (Step S108). Specifically, the definition value control unit 124 substitutes the initial value Phti derived in step S106 for the physical strength value Pht.
The display control unit 121 performs an initial display of the gauge GAR in which the physical strength value Pht that is initially set in step S108 is reflected in correspondence with the timing operation area TAR of the character selected as the target in step S102 (step S108). S110).

Next, the definition value deriving unit 122 determines whether or not the derivation of the initial values of the physical strength values for all the characters associated with the timing operation area TAR has been performed (step S112).
If there is still a character for which the initial value of the physical strength value has not yet been derived (step S112—NO), the definition value deriving unit 122 returns the process to step S102. Thereby, the derivation of the initial value of the physical strength value and the display of the gauge GAR reflecting the initial value are executed for a character for which the initial value of the physical strength value has not yet been derived.
On the other hand, when the derivation of the initial value of the physical strength values for all characters has been performed (step S112—YES), the processing in FIG.

Next, an example of a processing procedure executed by the game apparatus 10 in response to a timing operation performed during the progress of the music game of the present embodiment will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG.
In the description of the figure, a case where the physical strength value is controlled as follows will be described as an example in response to the timing operation for the normal Notes NT other than the recovery Notes NT-R. That is, as described above, when the evaluation result is the lowest “Bad”, the physical strength value of the character corresponding to the timing operation area TAR that is the operation target is decreased. On the other hand, when the evaluation result is “Perfect”, “Great”, or “Good” higher than “Bad”, a reward corresponding to the evaluation result is given to the corresponding character.
Moreover, regarding the control of the physical strength value according to the timing operation for the recovery notes NT-R, a case where the following mode is adopted will be exemplified. That is, when the evaluation result for the timing operation on the recovery notes NT-R is any one of “Perfect”, “Great”, and “Good”, the physical strength value is recovered by the recovery value corresponding to the evaluation result. On the other hand, when the evaluation result for the timing operation on the recovery notes NT-R is the lowest “Bad”, the physical strength value is not recovered, and the physical strength value is decreased as in the case of the normal Notes NT.

While the music game is in progress, the evaluation unit 123 waits for a timing operation to be performed on any of the timing operation areas TAR (step S120—NO).
When the timing operation is performed (YES in step S120), the timing operation area TAR that is the target of the timing operation determines whether or not the timing operation can be accepted at present (step S122). As described above, the timing operation area TAR can accept the timing operation if the corresponding physical strength value is larger than “0”, and cannot accept the timing operation if the corresponding physical strength value is “0”.
If the timing operation cannot be accepted (step S122—NO), the process returns to step S120.
On the other hand, when the timing operation can be received (step S122—YES), the evaluation unit 123 evaluates the timing operation performed this time (step S124).

Next, the definition value control unit 124 determines whether or not the evaluation result in step S124 is the lowest “Bad” (step S126).
When the evaluation result is not “Bad” (step S126—NO), the definition value control unit 124 further determines whether or not the current operation target is the recovery notes NT-R (step S128). .
When the Notes that are the operation target this time are the recovery notes NT-R (step S128-YES), the definition value control unit 124 selects “Perfect”, “Great”, and “Good” obtained in step S124. A recovery value Prcv is set according to any evaluation result (step S130). In setting the recovery value Prcv, for example, an attribute value indicated by the attribute information of the corresponding character may be used.
Next, the definition value control unit 124 recovers the physical strength value of the corresponding character (step S132). That is, the definition value control unit 124 adds the recovery value Prcv set in step S130 to the current physical strength value Pht for the corresponding character, and updates the physical strength value Pht. In addition, the display control unit 121 performs display control so that the updated physical strength value Pht so as to increase in step S132 is reflected in the corresponding gauge GAR. After the process of step S132, the process returns to step S120.

  In addition, when the notes that are the target of operation this time are not the recovery notes NT-R but the normal notes NT (step S128-NO), the game control unit 120 gives an evaluation result to the corresponding character. A process for giving a predetermined reward is executed (step S134). After the process of step S134, the process returns to step S120.

  When the evaluation result is “Bad” (step S126—YES), as described above, the physical strength value is decreased regardless of whether the evaluation is the normal Notes NT or the recovery Notes NT-R. . Therefore, the definition value control unit 124 in this case updates the physical strength value of the corresponding character by subtracting the predetermined decrease amount Prd from the current physical strength value Pht (step S136). In addition, the display control unit 121 performs display control so that the updated physical strength value Pht so as to decrease in step S136 is reflected in the corresponding gauge GAR.

After executing the process of reducing the physical strength value Pht in step S136, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the physical strength values corresponding to all the characters have become “0” at the current stage (step S138).
If the physical strength value corresponding to at least one character is greater than “0” (step S138—NO), the process returns to step S120.
On the other hand, when the stamina value corresponding to all the characters becomes “0” (step S138—YES), the game control unit 120 determines that the game is over, and the game control unit 120 does not finish the music until the end. The progress is terminated (step S140).

  Next, an example of a processing procedure executed by the game apparatus 10 in connection with the setting of whether or not to accept the timing operation for each timing operation area TAR while the music game is in progress will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The flowchart in the figure is processing performed corresponding to one timing operation area TAR. The game apparatus 10 executes the process of FIG. 10 for each timing operation area TAR while the music game is in progress.

First, the evaluation unit 123 sets the timing operation for the target timing operation area TAR so as to be accepted when the progress of the music game starts (step S152).
In addition, the evaluation unit 123 waits until the physical strength value Pht of the character associated with the target timing operation area TAR becomes “0” (step S154—NO). When the physical strength value Pht becomes “0” (step S154—YES), the evaluation unit 123 sets the reception of the timing operation for the target timing operation area TAR to be unacceptable (step S156).

Next, the evaluation unit 123 waits for a predetermined time to elapse after setting the timing operation to be unacceptable in step S156 (NO in step S158). When the predetermined time has elapsed (step S158—YES), the evaluation unit 123 updates the physical strength value Pht of the character associated with the target timing operation area TAR with the initial value Phti (step S160). In addition, the evaluation unit 123 sets the timing operation again to be acceptable by returning the process to step S152.
By such processing, the physical fitness value is restored to the initial value and the timing operation can be accepted again in response to a lapse of a certain time after the timing operation cannot be accepted for the target timing operation area TAR. Return to the correct state.
Note that although step S160 in the figure shows an example in which the physical strength value is revived by the initial value, as described above, the physical strength value set by the rejuvenation may be a predetermined value smaller than the initial value. Good.

[Summary of First Embodiment]
As described above, the game apparatus 10 of the present embodiment includes the definition value deriving unit 122, the evaluation unit 123, and the definition value control unit 124.
The definition value deriving unit 122 is individually associated with each of a plurality of timing operation areas TAR (an example of a determination position) for which operation timing is determined in a music game, and a defined value (for example, physical strength) that is defined Each of the initial values is derived based on a predetermined parameter value associated with each timing operation area TAR.
The evaluation unit 123 evaluates the degree of coincidence between the predetermined evaluation reference timing and the operation timing for the timing operation area TAR.
When the evaluation unit 123 obtains an evaluation result of “Bad” (an example of a low evaluation result that does not satisfy the predetermined level), the definition value control unit 124 obtains the evaluation result of “Bad”. The physical strength value associated with the timing operation area TAR is decreased.

According to the above configuration, the user performs timing operations on the plurality of timing operation areas TAR when playing the music game of the present embodiment. In addition, in the music game of the present embodiment, a physical strength value is set for each timing operation area TAR. The physical strength value individually set for each timing operation area TAR is individually decreased in accordance with, for example, obtaining the lowest evaluation result for the timing operation for the corresponding timing operation area TAR.
For this reason, in this embodiment, compared with the case where, for example, one common physical strength value is set for a plurality of timing operation areas TAR, the user decreases the physical strength value in each timing operation area TAR. You can play music games while paying attention to. Thereby, the user can maintain a sense of tension with respect to play.

  Further, in the game apparatus 10 of the present embodiment, the definition value deriving unit 122 sets a parameter value (for example, an attribute value) corresponding to a predetermined attribute for each character associated with each timing operation area TAR as the definition value. Based on this, the initial value of the physical strength value is derived.

  According to the above configuration, a character is set for each of the plurality of timing operation areas TAR. In addition, the initial value of the physical strength value for each timing operation area TAR is determined based on the attribute value of each character. That is, the initial value of the physical strength value for each timing operation area TAR is set so as to differ depending on the individuality (original property, degree of growth, etc.) of the character corresponding to the attribute value. In this way, by allowing the character personality in the music game to be reflected in the initial value of the physical strength value, the character personality can be effectively used in the music game, and the interest of the game is enhanced.

  Further, in the game device 10 of the present embodiment, the definition value control unit 124 is associated with the timing operation region TAR from which the evaluation result of “Bad” is obtained every time the evaluation result of “Bad” is obtained. The physical strength value is decreased by a predetermined decrease amount.

  According to the above configuration, the physical strength value of each timing operation area TAR is decreased by a predetermined decrease amount every time a “Bad” evaluation result is obtained for the timing operation for the corresponding timing operation area TAR. be able to.

  In the game device 10 of the present embodiment, the amount of decrease corresponding to at least a part of the plurality of timing operation areas TAR is a predetermined constant value.

  According to the above configuration, the physical strength value of each timing operation area TAR is decreased by a predetermined constant value every time an evaluation result of “Bad” is obtained for the timing operation for the corresponding timing operation area TAR. Can be.

  Further, in the game apparatus 10 of the present embodiment, the evaluation unit 123 excludes the timing operation area TAR whose corresponding physical strength value is “0” (an example of a definition value below a certain value) from the evaluation target.

  According to the above configuration, the timing operation is not evaluated even if the timing operation is performed on the timing operation region TAR having the corresponding physical strength value “0” among the plurality of timing operation regions TAR. it can. That is, it is possible to set the acceptance of the timing operation for the timing operation area TAR in which the corresponding physical strength value becomes “0”. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, for example, in the progress of the music game, there is a state in which there are both a timing operation area TAR in which the timing operation can be performed and a timing operation area TAR in which the timing operation cannot be performed. As a result, for example, the user can play while paying attention to avoid creating the timing operation area TAR where the timing operation is impossible, and it becomes easier to maintain the tension of play.

  Further, in the game apparatus 10 of the present embodiment, the definition value control unit 124 is a recovery note NT-R corresponding to a predetermined timing operation area TAR (an example of an evaluation reference timing associated with a function of increasing a physical fitness value). When the evaluation result that the operation timing with respect to is above a certain level is obtained, the physical strength value corresponding to the predetermined timing operation area TAR is increased.

According to the above configuration, when the recovery note NT-R appears under the progress of the music game, if the user performs the timing operation for the recovery note NT-R well, the timing operation corresponding to the recovery note NT-R The physical strength value of the area TAR can be increased (revived).
In this case, the user expects the recovery notes NT-R to appear under the progress of the music game, and when the recovery notes NT-R appears, the timing for the recovery notes NT-R is as good as possible. Try to do the operation. This increases the fun of the game.

[Second Embodiment]
〔Overview〕
Next, the second embodiment will be described. The appearance pattern of Notes defined by the sequence data in the music game of this embodiment differs depending on the music and the difficulty level. For this reason, the number of notes that reach each of the timing operation areas TAR in one play is not necessarily equal, but rather the number of notes that arrive may vary considerably between the timing operation areas TAR. In addition, in this embodiment, a different value is set for each character as the initial value of the physical strength value of the character associated with each timing operation area TAR.
For this reason, for example, a certain timing operation region TAR has a considerably large number of notes that are reached despite a small physical strength value, while another timing operation region TAR has a large physical strength value. A situation can occur where the number of notes that arrive is rather small.
The situation as described above can be regarded as causing a great variation in the difficulty level of the music game corresponding to each timing operation area TAR (for example, the difficulty level for achieving game clear). Although it is possible to adopt the idea that such a variation in the difficulty level between the timing operation areas TAR may be allowed according to the purpose of the music game, the idea that it is preferable to eliminate it as much as possible. It can also be taken.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, based on the idea that it is preferable to eliminate the variation in the difficulty level between the timing operation areas TAR, as described below, the variation in the difficulty level between the timing operation areas TAR is suppressed. Plan.

[Configuration example of game device]
FIG. 9 shows a configuration example of the game apparatus 10A of the present embodiment. In this figure, the same parts as those in FIG.
In the game apparatus 10A shown in the figure, the game control unit 120A includes a definition value control unit 124A. The definition value control unit 124A of the present embodiment performs the timing operation based on the evaluation reference timing number (an example of the evaluation target number) in which the operation timing is evaluated in the timing operation area TAR from the start to the end of the music game. A reduction amount corresponding to the area TAR is set. For example, the definition value control unit 124A sets a reduction amount corresponding to the timing operation area TAR based on a value obtained by dividing the physical strength value by a number smaller than the number of evaluation targets.

[Example of processing procedure]
With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 10, an example of a processing procedure executed by the game apparatus 10 </ b> A of the present embodiment in association with the setting of the reduction amount for each character will be described. The process of FIG. 11 is executed in response to the user performing a character assignment operation for each timing operation area TAR at the stage before the start of the music game play.
The processing in steps S1100 to S1112 in the figure is the same as that in steps S100 to S112 in FIG.

  If it is determined in step S1112 that the initial values of the physical strength values have been derived for all the characters associated with the timing operation area TAR, the definition value control unit 124A sets the reduction amount for each character. The following processing is executed according to the request.

For example, the user performs a character assignment operation prior to the start of music game play, and then performs an operation (music selection operation) for selecting music to be played in the music game play. When playing the music game, the game device 10A reproduces the music data of the music selected by the music selection operation, and causes the Notes NT to appear on the game screen according to the sequence data corresponding to the selected music. I do.
The game control unit 120A accepts a music selection operation performed by the user as described above (step S1114).
As described above, a plurality of difficulty levels may be set for each music piece. In this case, the user selects the music piece in addition to the music piece selection operation, and the difficulty level associated with the selected music piece. What is necessary is just to perform operation which selects one from the candidates of a degree.

  After the music selection operation is received as described above, the definition value control unit 124A selects one character for which a reduction amount is to be set from the characters associated with each of the timing operation areas TAR in step S1100. Select (step S1116).

Next, the definition value control unit 124A evaluates the timing operation from the start to the end of the music game in the timing operation area TAR associated with the character selected in step S1116. Ntm is specified (step S1118). For this purpose, the definition value control unit 124A interprets the note information of the sequence data corresponding to the music selected by the music selection operation received in step S1114. The definition value control unit 124A interprets the notes information in the sequence data so that the timing operation can be performed in the corresponding timing operation area TAR from the start to the end of the progress of the music game accompanied by the reproduction of the selected music. The evaluation reference timing number Ntm at which the evaluation is performed is specified.
For example, if the sequence data stipulates that all the notes NT that reach the corresponding timing operation area TAR are single notes, the evaluation reference timing number Ntm is equal to all the notes that reach the corresponding timing operation area TAR. It matches the number of NT.

  Next, the definition value control unit 124A calculates a divisor Ntm1 based on the evaluation reference timing number Ntm specified in step S1118 (step S1120). The divisor Ntm1 is a number smaller than the evaluation reference timing number Ntm. The definition value control unit 124A may calculate the divisor Ntm1 based on multiplying the evaluation reference timing number Ntm by a predetermined positive number smaller than “1”. Alternatively, the definition value control unit 124A may calculate the divisor Ntm1 by, for example, subtracting a predetermined number from the evaluation reference timing number Ntm.

  Next, the definition value control unit 124A calculates a decrease amount Prd corresponding to the character selected as the target in step S1116 (step S1122). Specifically, the definition value control unit 124A calculates the decrease amount Prd by dividing the initial value Phti of the physical strength value derived in the previous step S1106 by the divisor Ntm1 for the same character. The decrease amount Prd calculated in this way is set as the decrease amount to be decreased from the physical strength value corresponding to the evaluation result of “Bad” per time for the corresponding character.

Next, the definition value control unit 122A determines whether or not the setting of the reduction amount Prd for all the characters associated with the timing operation area TAR has been completed (step S1124).
If there are still characters for which the reduction amount Prd has not yet been set (step S1124-NO), the definition value control unit 122A returns the process to step S1116. As a result, the reduction amount Prd is set for a character for which the reduction amount Prd has not yet been set.
On the other hand, when the reduction amount Prd is set for all characters (step S1124—YES), the processing in FIG.

If the initial value Phti is divided by the evaluation reference timing number Ntm to calculate the decrease amount Prd, the following problems occur. That is, from the start to the end of the music in the music game, even if all the evaluations for the timing operation performed in the corresponding timing operation area TAR are “Bad”, the evaluation result is obtained corresponding to the last evaluation reference timing. The physical strength value becomes “0” for the first time at a given stage. In this case, even if all timing operations for the corresponding timing operation area TAR fail, the physical strength value does not become “0” until the last timing operation in the timing operation area TAR in the game progress. Interest as a music game is impaired.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the decrease amount Prd is calculated by dividing the initial value Phti by the divisor Ntm1 smaller than the evaluation reference timing number Ntm. Thereby, a larger reduction amount Prd is obtained than when the initial value Phti is divided by the evaluation reference timing number Ntm. As a result, if the evaluation result of “Bad” is obtained a certain number of times or more for the timing operation on the corresponding timing operation area TAR, the corresponding physical strength value can be set to “0” during the progress of the game.
In addition, the decrease amount Prd calculated as described above is based on the initial value Phti and the evaluation reference timing number Ntm, as can be seen from steps S1120 and S1122. For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the case of a character having a large number of notes reaching the corresponding timing operation area TAR even though the physical strength value is small, the decrease amount Prd can be set small. In the case of a character with a small number of notes that reach the corresponding timing operation area TAR despite having a large physical strength value, a large decrease amount Prd can be set. Thereby, the dispersion | variation in the difficulty level between timing operation area | region TAR is suppressed.

[Summary of Second Embodiment]
As described above, in the game device 10A of the present embodiment, the definition value control unit 124A determines the evaluation reference timing number (the number of evaluation targets) in which the operation timing is evaluated in the timing operation area TAR from the start to the end of the music game. Is set to a decrease amount corresponding to the timing operation area TAR.

  According to the above configuration, the amount of decrease is set for each timing operation area TAR based on the initial value of the corresponding physical strength value and the number of evaluation reference timings. Thereby, the dispersion | variation in the difficulty between timing operation area | region TAR produced by the initial value of a physical strength value and the number of evaluation reference | standard timings is suppressed.

  Further, in the game device 10A of the present embodiment, the definition value control unit 124A calculates a decrease amount corresponding to the timing operation area TAR based on a value obtained by dividing the physical strength value by a number smaller than the evaluation reference timing number. Set.

  According to the above configuration, when the predetermined number of “Bad” evaluation results corresponding to one timing operation area TAR reaches the predetermined number during the progress of the music game, the corresponding physical strength value becomes “0”. In this case, even if the evaluation result of the timing operation with respect to all the evaluation reference timings corresponding to one timing operation area TAR becomes “Bad”, the problem that the corresponding physical strength value is larger than “0” does not occur. As a result, the user plays with the consciousness that the physical strength value does not become “0” in the course of the music game, and also in this respect, the sense of tension for the play is maintained. Interestingness also increases.

[Third Embodiment]
〔Overview〕
Subsequently, the third embodiment will be described. For the character set for each timing operation area TAR in the music game of the present embodiment, it is preferable that each individuality stands out, for example. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the reduction amount Prd corresponding to each character associated with the timing operation area TAR is set according to the character attribute.
That is, in the present embodiment, not only a different physical strength value Pht is set for each character associated with the timing operation area TAR, but also the decrease amount Prd for decreasing the physical strength value can be set different for each character. . As a result, the personality of the character in the music game can be further emphasized, and the fun of playing the music game can be enhanced.

[Configuration example of game device]
FIG. 11 shows a configuration example of the game apparatus 10B of the present embodiment. In this figure, the same parts as those in FIG.
In the game device 10B in the figure, the game control unit 120B includes a definition value control unit 124B. The definition value control unit 124B sets the decrease amount Prd based on a predetermined attribute value set for the character associated with the timing operation area TAR.

[Example of processing procedure]
With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 12, an example of a processing procedure executed by the game apparatus 10B according to this embodiment in association with the setting of the reduction amount for each character will be described. The process of FIG. 11 is executed in response to the user performing a character assignment operation for each timing operation area TAR at the stage before the start of the music game play.
The processing in steps S2100 to S2116 and S2122 in the figure is the same as steps S1100 to S1116 and S1124 in FIG.

The definition value control unit 124B acquires the attribute information of the character selected in step S2116, for example, from the data of the character card corresponding to the character (step S2118). At this time, the definition value deriving unit 122 may acquire attribute information necessary for calculating the decrease amount Prd from various attribute information about the character.
The definition value deriving unit 122B calculates the decrease amount Prd using the attribute value indicated by the attribute information acquired in step S2118 (step S2120). The definition value deriving unit 122B can calculate the decrease amount Prd by substituting the attribute value of the attribute information acquired in step S2118 into a predetermined arithmetic expression, for example. In this way, the reduction amount Prd for one character selected as the target in step S2116 is set.

  The definition value deriving unit 122B repeatedly executes the processes of steps S2116 to S2120 until it is determined in step S2122 that the calculation of the decrease amount Prd for all the characters associated with the timing operation area TAR has been completed.

[Summary of Third Embodiment]
As described above, in the game device 10B of the present embodiment, the definition value control unit 124B sets the decrease amount based on the predetermined attribute value set for the character associated with the timing operation area TAR.

  According to the above configuration, the amount of decrease with respect to the physical strength value of the character associated with each timing operation area TAR is set according to the individuality of the corresponding character. As a result, the degree of decrease in the physical strength value when the evaluation result of one “Bad” is obtained is determined according to the individuality of the character. Thereby, the personality of the character can be effectively utilized in the music game, and the interest of the game is enhanced.

[Fourth Embodiment]
〔Overview〕
Subsequently, a fourth embodiment will be described. The music game according to the present embodiment has different levels of difficulty depending on the selection of the music played during play and the level of difficulty. When the amount of decrease Prd that decreases the physical strength value according to the evaluation result of “Bad” per time is uniformly the same for different difficulty levels, for example, the level of the character is low, and the physical strength value of the character depends on the level. For users who have a small initial value, the game is likely to be over immediately with a uniform reduction amount. In this case, the user may not be able to enjoy the game because the game cannot be sufficiently played.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the reduction amount Prd is set according to the difficulty level of the music game. This makes it possible to enhance the interest of the music game.

Here, as an aspect of setting the reduction amount Prd according to the difficulty level of the music game in the present embodiment, one is associated with the timing operation area TAR according to the overall difficulty level of the music game. A common reduction amount Prd can be set for the characters.
As another aspect, the difficulty level is specified for each timing operation area TAR based on the selected music and sequence data determined according to the difficulty level, and the reduction amount Prd is set for each timing operation area TAR. it can.
The present embodiment may be any one of the above two aspects. In the following description, a case where the reduction amount Prd is set for each timing operation area TAR will be described as an example.

[Configuration example of game device]
FIG. 13 shows a configuration example of the game apparatus 10C of the present embodiment. In this figure, the same parts as those in FIG.
In the game device 10C shown in the figure, the game control unit 120C includes a definition value control unit 124C. The definition value control unit 124C of the present embodiment sets the decrease amount Prd based on a predetermined attribute value set for the character associated with the timing operation area TAR.

[Example of processing procedure]
With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 14, an example of a processing procedure executed by the game apparatus 10 </ b> C according to the present embodiment in association with the setting of the reduction amount for each character will be described. The process of FIG. 11 is executed in response to the user performing a character assignment operation for each timing operation area TAR at the stage before the start of the music game play.
The processes in steps S3100 to S3116 and S3122 in the figure are the same as steps S1100 to S1116 and S1124 in FIG.

  The definition value control unit 124C specifies the difficulty level of the timing operation area TAR corresponding to the character selected in step S3116 (step S3118). As an example, the definition value control unit 124C acquires predetermined parameters used for difficulty level specification such as the tempo of music and the evaluation reference timing number Ntm in the corresponding timing operation area TAR in specifying the difficulty level. The defined value control unit 124C calculates the difficulty level of the timing operation area TAR by a predetermined calculation using the acquired parameters. The degree of difficulty calculated in this way is the specific result. Alternatively, the definition value control unit 124 </ b> C may specify the difficulty level with reference to a difficulty level table in which the combination of parameters is associated with the difficulty level.

The defined value control unit 124C calculates the decrease amount Prd by a predetermined arithmetic expression using the difficulty level specified in step S3118 (step S3120). Alternatively, the definition value control unit 124C may obtain the decrease amount Prd with reference to a decrease amount table in which the difficulty level and the decrease amount Prd are associated with each other.
The definition value deriving unit 122C repeatedly executes the processes of steps S3116 to S3120 until it is determined in step S3122 that the calculation of the reduction amount Prd for all the characters associated with the timing operation area TAR is completed. .

[Summary of Fourth Embodiment]
As described above, in the game device 10 </ b> C of the present embodiment, the definition value control unit 124 </ b> C sets a decrease amount based on the difficulty level of the music game that is evaluated by the evaluation unit 123.

  According to the above configuration, for example, the amount of decrease in the physical strength value is set according to the difficulty level determined by the appearance pattern of Notes based on the sequence data. For example, the overall difficulty level of the music game is adjusted to be appropriate. It will be possible to enhance the interest of music games. As a result, for example, when the amount of decrease in the physical strength value due to a single mistake is set larger as the difficulty level determined by the appearance pattern of Notes is higher, for a user who selects and plays a higher difficulty level, the mistake should be avoided as much as possible. It is possible to give a sense of tension to the play, while a user who selects and plays a low difficulty level can enjoy the play while allowing a certain amount of mistakes.

[Modification]
Hereinafter, modifications of the present embodiment will be described.

[First Modification]
In the fourth embodiment, the reduction amount Prd is set according to the difficulty level of the music game. On the other hand, in the present modification, the reduction amount Prd may be set for each timing operation area TAR according to the character level that is one of the attribute information of the user character. In the present modification, when the character level is reflected in the initial value of the physical strength value, the corresponding amount of decrease Prd in the timing operation area TAR may be set based on the derived initial value of the physical strength value of the character.
Under this modification, for example, it can be set such that the amount of decrease Prd increases as the level of the character increases as the skill of the user increases. In this case, since the degree of difficulty increases as the amount of decrease Prd increases, a highly skilled user can challenge a music game with a high degree of difficulty, and the willingness to play the music game increases.
On the other hand, for example, when the skill level of the user is low, the reduction amount Prd can be set to decrease as the character level also decreases. In this case, since the difficulty level is reduced by reducing the decrease amount Prd, even a low-skilled user can play a music game without a game over immediately.

[Second Modification]
The amount of decrease relative to the physical strength value is set to a constant value in the first embodiment, is set based on the number of evaluation reference timings in the second embodiment, is set according to the character attribute in the third embodiment, and is set in the fourth embodiment. In the form, the example set according to the difficulty was given. Further, in the first modified example, an example in which the character level reduction amount Prd is set is described.
On the other hand, in this modified example, the amount of reduction may be set by any one of the above examples for each character associated with the timing operation area TAR.

[Third Modification]
In each of the above embodiments, the case where the appearance time and the appearance pattern of the recovery notes NT-R are predetermined by the sequence data is taken as an example. However, the recovery notes NT-R, for example, the appearance time and the appearance pattern are generated afterwards based on the history of timing operations in the music game in progress, and appear according to the generated appearance time and appearance pattern. You may do it.

[Fourth Modification]
In each of the above embodiments, the case where the physical strength value that is “0” during the progress of the music game is revived in response to the elapse of a predetermined time is taken as an example. However, for example, in accordance with the recovery notes NT-R, a recovery note having a function of recovering the physical strength value of “0” may appear. When the resurrection notes are made to appear, for example, they may appear so as to reach any one of the timing operation areas TAR that can accept a timing operation whose physical strength value is not “0”. In this case, if the evaluation result of the timing operation for the revival notes is better than a certain level, the physical strength value that has been “0” is restored to the predetermined value, and the corresponding timing operation area TAR cannot accept the timing operation. Return from the state to an acceptable state. Alternatively, it may be possible to accept operations for the timing operation area TAR corresponding to the physical strength value of “0”, limited to the resurrection notes.

[Fifth Modification]
In each of the above embodiments, under the state where the physical strength value is “0”, the Notes NT arrives in the corresponding timing operation area TAR according to the sequence data, but the timing operation for the Notes NT that arrives. Gave an example that was not accepted.
However, as a modification, for example, when the physical strength value becomes “0”, the game apparatus performs timing operation on the Notes NT that is specified in the sequence data to reach the corresponding timing operation area TAR. Control may be performed so as to reach another timing operation area TAR that can be accepted.

[Sixth Modification]
In each of the above embodiments, the game is over when the physical strength values of the characters associated with all the timing operation areas TAR are “0”. However, as a modification, for example, the game is over when the physical strength value of the character associated with a predetermined number of timing operation areas TAR among all the timing operation areas TAR becomes “0”. May be. Specifically, in the case where there are a total of five timing operation areas TAR as in the previous embodiments, for example, if the physical strength value of the character corresponding to three of the five becomes “0”, the game is over. Can be.

The skill of playing the music game varies greatly depending on the user, and the target may differ depending on the skill even when playing the same music game. For example, if the user is very skilled, the goal is to obtain “Perfect” evaluation results for all timing operations. If the user is not very skilled, the goal is to play to the end through one song (that is, clear the music game). If a variety of songs and difficulty levels per song are prepared, it is possible to deal with a wide range of user skills.
However, preparing a variety of music and difficulty levels per music also has an aspect that it becomes a burden on the creator of the music game. Considering this point, it is preferable to be able to deal with a wide range of user skills while suppressing variations in music and difficulty.
Therefore, according to this modification, for example, the number of physical fitness values that are allowed to be “0” before the game is over is smaller than the total number of timing operation areas TAR. It can be said that the difficulty level is increased without increasing the difficulty level of the music itself. On the other hand, as the physical strength value becomes “0” and the timing operation area TAR in which the timing operation cannot be performed increases, the number of timing operation areas TAR that should pay attention to the timing operation decreases. In that respect, it can be said that the difficulty level for a user who wants to clear a music game is low. In other words, depending on the present modification, a certain level of difficulty based on the appearance of the Notes NT itself can cope with a wide range of user skills. Thereby, it is possible to provide a music game corresponding to users with a wide range of skills while suppressing variations in music and difficulty level.
