Description

  The present invention relates to a program for playing a turn-based game.

  As a multiplayer game in which a plurality of players participate and play at the same time, a game employing a so-called turn system that progresses by receiving game operations in order is known. Such a turn-based game has a drawback that a boring waiting time is generated for the player. This is because there is no basic operation during the turn of the other player, and the user is simply waited until the turn turns around. If it takes a long time for another player to input a game operation, the waiting time increases. As a technique for solving this type of problem, a game system is known in which a personal game is executed during the turn of another player and the game result is reflected in the turn-based game (see Patent Document 1). reference).

[Game Overview]
The game of the present embodiment is a battle game in which a team (formation) composed of player characters is organized to fight the enemy, and a cooperative play mode and a battle play mode are prepared as multi-play modes. Of course, it is also possible to play a game by single play.

1. Cooperative Play Mode In the cooperative play mode, two or more players select each player character to form a team and cooperate to challenge a battle with the opponent. The number of players participating in one game and the number of player characters operated by each player are not particularly limited. However, in the following description, it is assumed that four players each operate one player character. Further, the opponent in the cooperative play mode is a computer-controlled enemy character, but it may be a battle against another team organized by another player.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen in the cooperative play mode. As shown in FIG. 3, the game screen includes a game stage display unit W1 and a player character display unit W3.

  The game stage display portion W1 displays a state in which the player characters 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d of the own team fight the enemy character 6.

  In the player character display portion W3, iconified player characters 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d of the team are displayed together with the player names (players A, B, C, and D) of the player who is the operation subject. Incidentally, the game screen of FIG. 3 is an example of a screen displayed on the player terminal 30 possessed by “player A”, and the player (player A) is identified and displayed by changing the background color of the player name. .

  In addition, the player character display unit W3 displays which player terminal 30 (player) the current turn is. In the example of FIG. 3, the frame portion surrounding the player character 4a is highlighted with a thick frame so as to be distinguishable from the others, and the current turn is the turn of the player terminal (own player terminal) 30 of the player A Is shown.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a turn in the cooperative play mode. In the cooperative play mode, as shown in FIG. 4, a turn arrives in turn at each of the player terminals 30 of four players participating in the game (for example, players A, B, C, and D in FIG. 3), and the game is in progress. During the predetermined game operation possible period T11 (T11-1, 2, 3, 4), the game operation by the corresponding player is accepted. The game operable period T11 is determined as a time limit of 15 seconds, for example. When each player turns around, the player inputs an operation to the touch panel 3200, the direction input key 3101 and the home key 3103 to attack and defend the player characters 4a, 4b, 4c and 4d, and the game stage. A game operation for instructing movement or the like is input.

  Here, each turn has a time zone (hereinafter referred to as “automatic progress time zone”) T21 that automatically advances based on the game operation accepted in the immediately preceding turn. When a game operation is input during the game operation possible period T11, the process proceeds to the automatic progress time period T21 without waiting for the elapse of the time limit, and then proceeds to the next turn. In the automatic progress time zone T21, the game stage display section W1 displays a state in which the player characters 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d and the enemy character 6 are attacked, attacked, moved, and the like.

2. Competitive Play Mode In the competitive play mode, two players who are competing select a predetermined number (for example, four) of player characters to form a team (deck) and fight the teams. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen in the battle play mode. As shown in FIG. 5, the game screen in the battle play mode includes player character display portions W3a and W3b above and below with a game stage display portion W1 interposed therebetween. The player character display unit W3a on the lower side displays the player characters 4e, 4f, 4g, and 4h of the own team that are organized by the player before the start of the game as icons. On the other hand, the player character 4i, 4j, 4k, 4l of the opponent team formed by the opponent player is displayed as an icon on the upper player character display portion W3b. The game stage display section W1 displays how the player characters 4e, 4f, 4g, and 4h of the own team battle the player characters 4i, 4j, 4k, and 4l of the opponent team.

  In the battle play mode, the player character display units W3a and W3b display which player terminal 30 (player) the current turn is by indicating the player character to be operated in the turn. In the example of FIG. 5, the frame portion surrounding the player character 4e in the player character display portion W3a is highlighted with a thick frame so that it can be distinguished from the others, and the current turn is the player terminal (player E's player terminal). ) 30 turns, and the operation target of the turn is the player character 4e. For example, in the case of the player E, the operation target of each turn shifts to the right every time the player E turns in turn from the leftmost player character 4e. The same applies to the player F. In this case, the turn system may be such that each player alternately shifts the turn by alternately setting one player character as an operation target, or 1 means that all player characters of the player are set as operation targets. One turn may be used as a turn for each player. In the former case, for example, the player character 4e → 4i → 4f → 4j →.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a turn in the battle play mode. In the battle play mode, as shown in FIG. 6, two players (for example, players E and F in FIG. 5) turn in turn in turn, and the next player (player F in the example of FIG. 6) Between the turn and the next turn of the first player (player E in the example in the figure), the automatic progress time zone T23 is sandwiched.

[principle]
In each of the multi-play modes of the cooperative play mode and the battle play mode, messages can be exchanged between players during game play. The message is transmitted by performing a predetermined transmission operation and displayed on the game screen.

1. Reception operation reception timing While the player terminal 30 prohibits reception of a message transmission operation during the game operation possible period during the game, which is during its turn, the player terminal 30 does not receive any other game operation disabled period The message transmission operation is accepted. For example, in the cooperative play mode of FIG. 4, the player A cannot operate the game during a period T31 other than the game operable period T11-1 in which the player A can input the game operation, that is, the players B, C, and D can perform the game operation. It is during the period T11-2, 3, 4 or during the automatic progress time zone T21 between each turn. Similarly, the game operation impossibility period of the player E in the battle play mode of FIG. 6 is a period T33 other than the game operation enable period T13-1 that is the turn of the player E, that is, the game operation enable period T13 that is the turn of the player F. -2 and automatic progress time zone T23 between each turn. Accordingly, each player can perform a message transmission operation except for a period from when the turn turns to himself until a game operation is input. Note that the automatic progress time zone may be excluded as a period during which the message transmission operation can be performed.

2. Message Transmission Operation Basic message transmission operation is performed by selecting one of a plurality of message options prepared in advance. First, a message option is displayed by a message icon representing the message. The message icon includes at least an image such as an illustration or a photograph representing the message. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that a comment representing the message content is combined with an illustration representing a message by the facial expression of the character.

  In addition, message options can be selected by performing a predetermined touch operation as a selection operation at an arbitrary position on the game stage display unit W1. In this embodiment, two types of touch operations are accepted. The first is a touch operation for displaying and selecting options as a series of operations by flick input. The second is a touch operation in which the game stage display unit W1 is tapped once to display options, and then tapped again to select one of them. Note that the touch operation accepted as the selection operation may be one type or three or more types. In addition, the type of touch operation is not limited to the illustrated flick input or tap, and may be set as appropriate.

  The message options are displayed in a predetermined arrangement pattern with reference to the operation input position of flick input or tap (first tap).

  FIG. 7 is a game screen displayed on the player terminal 30 of the player A who is playing the game in the cooperative play mode shown in FIG. 3, and the game screen in which the message icon I11 as a message option is displayed. It is a figure which shows an example. FIG. 7 illustrates four message icons I11 whose message contents are “Thank you”, “Sorry”, “Say me”, and “Nice”, respectively. Each message icon I11 is a cross-shaped arrangement pattern arranged in the vertical and horizontal positions, and is displayed with the vicinity of the flick input or tap operation input position as the center of the cross. The player performs, as a message transmission operation, a selection operation for flicking or tapping one of the message icons I11 displayed as message options in this way. Note that the number of message icons I11 is not particularly limited, and the arrangement pattern may be changed as appropriate, for example, an arrangement pattern arranged in a circumferential shape.

  The basic message transmission operation is as described above. In the cooperative play mode in which four players participate, a message can be transmitted to a specific player. In that case, prior to the message transmission operation, the player character display unit W3 taps the player character of the desired player to perform a designation operation (destination designation operation) for designating the destination player.

3. Content of Message In this embodiment, a plurality of option sets (in this embodiment, a set of options in which four different types of message icons are combined) are prepared in advance, and any one option set is selected. Alternatively, message options (message icons) are displayed. Specifically, (1) whether the selection operation was flicked or tapped, (2) whether the multiplay mode during the game play is a cooperative play mode or a battle play mode (3 One) is selected from the prepared option sets based on the selection condition items of (4) the destination designation operation prior to the selection operation or (4) the relationship between the player and the destination player. As a result, the type of message icon displayed as an option changes, and in some cases, it is replaced with another message icon at the time of transmission.

  The relationship between the player and the destination player can be determined based on a predetermined ability value of the player character operated by each player, for example. In this embodiment, the level of the player character is used, and the relationship is determined as “upper” if the level of the player character of the destination player is higher, “lower” if lower, and “equivalent” if the level is similar. The relationship may be determined not only by the ability value of the player character but also by the experience value (player level) set for the player.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of an option set. In the present embodiment, the option sets are prepared by being classified into a group of option sets for flick input (option set group for flick input) 620 and a group of option sets for tap (option set group for taps) 630. The

  First, each option set group 620, 630 includes a plurality of types of option sets 621 (621a to 621e) and 631 (631a to 631e) having the same corresponding selection condition item (five types in FIG. 8). The selection condition items are “cooperative play mode” and “competitive play mode” items, and “coordinate play mode” items that are divided into four “no destination designation”, “upper”, “equivalent”, and “lower” Consists of.

  Next, each of the option sets 621 (621a to 621e) and 631 (631a to 631e) is set for each of “up”, “down”, “left”, and “right” positions that are the placement positions in the cross-shaped placement pattern. Consists of four types of message icons. In FIG. 8, illustrations (images) of facial expressions are omitted for some message icons and only comments are shown, and illustrations and comments are not shown for some message icons.

  A part or all of the message icons constituting each of the option sets 621 and 631 has a message content corresponding to the corresponding selection condition item. In addition, some or all of the message icons of each option set 621 and 631 have the same meaning and content as those of the other option sets 621 and 631, but any one of expression, wording, and tone is different. It is said. Specifically, paying attention to each option set 621 of the flick input option set group 620, each message icon of the option sets 621a to 621d that can be selected in the cooperative play mode is content that is intended for a player who cooperates to play the game. Represents the message. Then, for example, a strong tone comment is combined with the message icon of the option set 621d corresponding to “degrade”, and the illustration is designed accordingly. The same applies to the other selection condition items. For example, if it is “excellent”, the wording is polite, and if it is “equivalent”, it is, for example, a frank expression. Further, each message icon of the option set 621e selected in the battle play mode can include, for example, a message representing a message for provoking the opponent. Then, as described above, message icons having a common meaning and content are set in each option set 621 so that their arrangement positions are the same, for example. For example, the cooperative play mode message of FIG. 8 is a message having the same semantic content at each of the vertical and horizontal positions. For this reason, even if the option set changes, the player can easily select messages having the same meaning.

  On the other hand, regarding the relationship between the flick input option set group 620 and the tap option set group 630, the message icons at the same arrangement position of the same selection condition item to be paired have the same semantic content, expression, wording, Any of the tone is different.

  Here, a rough flow from reception of a message transmission operation to transmission of the message will be described. First, the player terminal 30 displays four options (message icons) in a cross-shaped arrangement pattern at the operation input position when the game stage display unit W1 is touch-operated during the game inoperable period of the player's own player. Prompt for selection. At that time, assuming that the selection operation is performed by flick input, the option set 621 of the corresponding selection condition item is selected from the flick input option set group 620. For example, if the multiplayer mode during game play is the cooperative play mode and the destination designation operation has been input in advance, if the relationship between the player and the destination player is “equivalent”, the option set 621c is selected. To do. Then, the message icon of the selected option set 621c is displayed according to the arrangement position.

  Subsequently, when a selection operation is input, if it is input by flicking, the selected message icon is used as a transmission message as it is. On the other hand, when the selection operation is performed by tapping, the selected message icon is replaced with a tap icon.

[Process flow]
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing related to message exchange between players in the multi-play mode. This process is a process executed in parallel with the progress control of the game performed by the game progress control unit 213 when playing the game in the multi-play mode. The operation on the touch panel 3200 during the game play and the other player terminal 30 Monitor the reception of outgoing messages.

  If there is an operation on the touch panel 3200 (step S1: YES), the message reception control unit 215 determines whether or not it is a game operation possible period, that is, whether or not the current turn is the turn of the player terminal 30. To do. If it is the game operation possible period (step S3: YES), the operation is not accepted as a message transmission operation (the message transmission operation is prohibited), and the process proceeds to step S27.

  On the other hand, when the game operation is not possible, that is, when the game operation is impossible (step S3: NO), the process branches depending on whether the cooperative play mode or the battle play mode is set (step S5). First, in the cooperative play mode, based on the operation input position on the touch panel 3200, it is determined whether or not the operation accepted in step S1 is a destination designation operation. If it is not a destination designation operation (step S7: NO), the option set 621a is read from the flick input option set group 620, and control is performed to display a message icon according to the arrangement position (step S9). When a selection operation for selecting one of the displayed message icons is received, the process proceeds to step S19.

  In the case of an address designation operation (step S7: YES), a subsequent touch operation on the touch panel 3200 is awaited. If a touch operation is accepted (step S11: YES), the character levels of the player characters are compared to determine the relationship between the player and the destination player (step S13). If the selection operation is not received within a predetermined time from the destination specifying operation (step S11: NO), the preceding destination specifying operation is invalidated and the process proceeds to step S27.

  Subsequently, the option set 621b, 621c, or 621d of the selection condition item corresponding to the relationship determined in step S13 is read from the flick input option set group 620, and control is performed to display the message icon according to the arrangement position (step S15). . When a selection operation for selecting one of the displayed message icons is received, the process proceeds to step S19.

  Next, when the multi-play mode during game play determined in step S5 is the battle play mode, control is performed to read the option set 621e from the flick input option set group 620 and display a message icon according to the arrangement position (step). S17). When a selection operation for selecting one of the displayed message icons is received, the process proceeds to step S19.

  In step S19, the accepted selection operation is determined. That is, when the selection operation is performed by flick input, the message icon selected by the selection operation is directly used as a transmission message (step S21). On the other hand, if the selection operation is performed by a tap, the selection option item group 630 is referred to, and the same selection condition item option as the option set 621 used for displaying the message icon in step S9, step S15, or step S17 is referred to. A message icon at the same arrangement position as the selected message icon is read from the set 631 and replaced with the message icon selected by the selection operation to be a transmission message (step S23).

  Thereafter, the message transmission control unit 221 performs control to transmit the transmission message to the other player terminal 30 (step S25).

  On the other hand, when the transmission message is received from the other player terminal 30 (step S27: YES), the message display control unit 223 displays the message icon received as the transmission message on the game screen in a predetermined manner. Is performed (step S29). The message icon displayed here is controlled to be deleted from the game screen after a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) has elapsed, for example.

  If the end of the game play has been input (step S31: YES), the process ends.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to receive a message transmission operation and transmit it to the other player terminal 30 in a game operation impossible period in which the player who is playing the game in the multi-play mode cannot input a game operation. it can. At that time, the options (message icon types) displayed in the process of accepting the message transmission operation can be changed according to the multiplayer mode during game play and the destination player. Furthermore, depending on the type of touch operation performed by the player as an option for selecting an option, the selected option (message icon) has the same meaning, but is different in expression, wording, or tone. It can be replaced with a message icon. On the other hand, when a transmission message received in the same manner from another player terminal 30 is received, it can be displayed on the game screen. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the boredom of waiting time and improve the interest of the game.

[Modification]
The embodiment to which the present invention is applied has been described above. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above, and components can be added, omitted, or changed as appropriate.

  For example, the selection condition items of the option set are not limited to the items illustrated in FIG. Specifically, assuming a case where teams formed by a plurality of players play against each other, an option set may be prepared for each selection condition item for a friend and an enemy. Then, a corresponding option set may be selected depending on whether the current turn is the turn of an ally player or the enemy player, and may be used for displaying the options. According to this, it is possible to select a different option set depending on which player's turn the timing of the message transmission operation and change the message options (message icons) to be displayed.

  Alternatively, an option set may be prepared for each of the selection condition items that define the progress of the game, such as the progress of the battle such as superiority / inferiority, and the battle result such as victory / defeat. Then, a corresponding option set may be selected according to the current game progress and used for displaying the options. According to this, it is possible to select different option sets according to the progress of the game and change the message icon to be displayed.

  In addition, an option set may be prepared for selection condition items that define a range of elapsed time from the time of transition to the current turn. For example, in the case where the time limit of the game operation possible period is 15 seconds as in the above embodiment, each section obtained by dividing the period into three is set as a selection condition item, and common meaning contents in the corresponding option set , But include options that change expressions, language, and tone (for example, “Do your best”, “Not yet?”, “Hayashiroyo”, etc.). Then, a corresponding option set may be selected according to the elapsed time from the transition of the current turn and used for displaying the options. According to this, the option that was “good luck” immediately after moving to the current turn is gradually changed to “still?” Or “quickly” as the time limit is approached. It becomes possible. When the game operation of the player related to the turn is completed, the turn is completed and the next turn is started. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved by enabling the message selection according to the time limit.

  Further, it may be configured to accept a designation operation (position designation operation) for designating a display position of a transmission message in a process of accepting a message transmission operation. For example, when an arbitrary position (display position) in the game stage display unit W1 is tapped immediately after the selection operation, this may be accepted as a position designation operation. Alternatively, a touch operation for dragging the displayed option (message icon) to a desired display position may be accepted as a position specifying operation. In this case, the designated display position is sent to the player terminal 30 of the destination player together with the transmission message. Then, the player terminal 30 that has received this performs control to display a transmission message at the display position in the game stage display section W1.

  In the above embodiment, the display time of the transmission message received from the other player terminal 30 is fixed (for example, 3 seconds). Accordingly, the display time may be set variably. For example, when the selection operation is tapped, the display time of the transmission message on the other player terminal 30 that has received the transmission message is longer than when the selection operation is a flick input, or Can be shortened. In addition, it is good also as displaying until it transfers to the next turn.

  Further, the option sets 621 and 631 of the option set groups 620 and 630 shown in FIG. 8 may have a data configuration in which voice data for reading a comment is further associated with each option (message icon). According to this, it is possible to output a sound of reading out the comment together with the display of the message icon.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure which sells the message icon and audio | voice data prepared as each option set group 620,630 as a charge item. The player can add a message icon that can be transmitted by purchasing the message icon. In this case, the sales unit of the message icon may be a unit of the flick input option set group 620 or the tap option set group 630, or may be a unit of the option sets 621 and 631 constituting the option set groups 620 and 630. . In the former case, the selection operation of the option set groups 620 and 630 used for transmitting a message is received before the game is started, and the player can select one of the option set groups 620 and 630 on hand. May be. In the latter case, for example, the option sets 621a and 621e and the option sets 631a and 631e of “no destination designation” and “match play mode” are distributed free of charge, and “higher”, “equivalent”, and “lower” The option sets 621b to 621d and 631b to 631d can be configured to be message icons that can be obtained by purchase. Or the structure which sells a message icon separately may be sufficient. In this case, when accepting the selection operation, the message icons already acquired by the player are classified into message icon groups having the same meaning, and each classified message icon group is displayed as an option. A message icon to be transmitted may be selected from the list.

  Further, the message icon may be exchanged between players, or obtained by purchasing the message icon to other players.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the option (message icon) is displayed in the process of accepting the message transmission operation. However, during the inoperable period of the player's game operation, the option that can be transmitted is always displayed at the appropriate place in the game screen. It is good also as a structure to carry out.

  In the above-described embodiment, the process related to the game progress control and the message exchange between the players in the multi-play mode is executed by the player terminal 30. However, the server system 10 can be executed. The player terminal 30 and the server system 10 can also be executed in a distributed manner.

  In the configuration executed by the server system 10, the player terminal 30 is regarded as a so-called dumb terminal device for operation input and image display, and processing relating to game realization is executed by the server system 10. For example, this corresponds to a case where the game of the present embodiment is realized in the form of a browser game or a web game. Specifically, a functional configuration example of the server system 10 is as shown in FIG. The processing flow of the server system 10 in this case is basically the same as the flowchart described with reference to FIG. 13, and may be read as executing each step by the server processing unit 200 s of the server system 10.

  The applicable game genre is not particularly limited, and any genre can be used as long as it is a turn-based game (game in which players perform action operations in order) including elements of cooperative play and battle play. The present invention can be applied. In addition, for example, a Mahjong game, a shogi game, a board game, and the like are easy to consider as an application form of the present invention because the principle game rule itself is a turn system.
