<Description of Game Execution Unit 101>
The game execution means 101 causes the game apparatus 1 to execute a game based on the operation of the touch pad 150 by the user.

  Specifically, the game execution means 101 reads data such as game space objects and textures included in the game data from the storage unit 11, and generates a two-dimensional or three-dimensional virtual game space.

  Moreover, the game execution means 101 arranges a player character in the virtual game space. Then, the game execution means 101 controls the action of the player character in the virtual game space according to the operation of the touch pad 150 by the user and the progress of the game.

  Moreover, the game execution means 101 determines whether the game is in a predetermined progress state. In the predetermined progress situation, for example, a predetermined game item is used based on the user's operation, a predetermined charge is performed based on the user's operation, and the user's rank on the game increases. Sometimes.

  Further, the game execution means 101 generates information for displaying the virtual game space, the player character, and the virtual operation button on the liquid crystal screen 140 as a game screen.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, “user rank”, “stamina”, “over recovery stamina”, and the like are displayed on the liquid crystal screen 140 from the top of the screen.

<Description of Parameter Management Unit 102>
The parameter management means 102 is a parameter for which an upper limit value is set, and is used for managing a parameter that is consumed for executing a game and that requires a predetermined time to recover for each consumption of a predetermined amount. Specifically, when the user selects one quest when playing the game, the parameter management unit 102 decreases the parameters (stamina) necessary for executing the quest.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the user selects the “monster T subjugation” quest, 30 stamina is consumed.

  On the other hand, when the stamina is consumed (when the stamina is reduced from the upper limit value), the parameter management unit 102 recovers a predetermined amount of stamina with the elapse of a predetermined time. It takes 3 minutes, for example, to recover 1 consumed stamina. In the example of FIG. 2, the upper limit of stamina is 100, and 60 stamina is consumed (the remaining stamina is 40). For this reason, the user needs to wait 180 minutes (= 3 minutes × 60 stamina) until the stamina recovers to the upper limit value after a predetermined time.

  Further, for example, when the user recovers the stamina exceeding the upper limit value using a predetermined game item, the parameter management unit 102 executes the following processing. In other words, the parameter management means 102, for each consumption of a predetermined amount, when stamina is consumed below the upper limit value according to the value of the stamina recovered above the upper limit value (over recovery stamina). The stamina is restored to the upper limit value in a time shorter than the predetermined time.

  Specifically, for example, when a predetermined game item (recovery drug) is used based on the user's operation and over-recovery stamina has occurred, the parameter management unit 102 first sets the upper limit value. Restore stamina until. Here, if the user uses an item that restores 100 stamina when the consumed stamina is 60 as shown in FIG. 2, 40 over-recovery stamina occurs as shown in FIG.

  Next, the parameter management unit 102 stores the over recovery stamina in the storage unit 11.

  In addition, when the stamina is consumed after the occurrence of the over-recovery stamina, the parameter management unit 102 determines whether to restore the stamina in a time shorter than the predetermined time for each predetermined amount based on the over-recovery stamina. Is determined based on the user's operation as shown in FIG.

  When the user chooses to recover the stamina using the over-recovery stamina, the parameter management means 102 receives from the storage unit 11 the information on the over-recovery stamina that is the same amount as the consumed stamina. Then, the stamina speed recovery process is performed.

  This speed recovery will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the example of FIG. 3, when the stamina is 100, which is the upper limit value, the user selects “monster T subjugation” with a consumption stamina of 30. Therefore, in FIG. 4, 30 stamina is consumed, and the remaining stamina is 70.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 4, when the user selects speed recovery of the stamina based on the over recovery stamina, 30 over recovery stamina of 40 over recovery stamina is used as shown in FIG. Speed recovery is performed. If stamina speed recovery is being executed, a message to that effect is displayed.

  According to this speed recovery process, it is possible to recover 1 stamina in 1 minute, for example, where 1 stamina recovers in 3 minutes. Therefore, for example, it takes 90 minutes to recover all 30 stamina, but when the speed recovery process of the present invention is performed, the stamina can be recovered to the upper limit in 30 minutes.

<Description of the communication means 103>
The communication unit 103 receives a game program related to the game from the server device 2. This game program is transmitted to the storage unit 11.

  Further, the communication unit 103 transmits user account information, game account information, and new game data download request information to the server device 2 based on, for example, a user operation. This game data is data such as items (for example, weapons used by player characters) that can be newly used by charging by the user.

<Description of stamina speed recovery process>
Hereinafter, the stamina speed recovery process of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the game execution means 101 determines whether or not the game is in a predetermined progress state (step S1). The predetermined progress is, for example, that a predetermined game item (recovery drug) is used as shown in FIG.

  When it is determined that the game is not in a predetermined progress state (S1: NO), the stamina speed recovery process of the present invention ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the game is in a predetermined progress (S1: YES), the parameter management means 102 starts a stamina recovery process (step S2).

  Subsequently, the parameter management means 102 determines whether or not the stamina exceeds the upper limit value by this recovery process (step S3).

  If the stamina exceeds the upper limit value and is not recovered (S3: NO), the parameter management means 102 recovers the stamina to the maximum value that can be recovered, and then the stamina speed recovery process of the present invention ends.

  On the other hand, when the stamina exceeds the upper limit value (S3: YES), the parameter management unit 102 recovers the stamina to the upper limit value (step S4). In this embodiment, the upper limit of the stamina meter is 100.

  Next, the parameter management unit 102 stores the over-recovery stamina, which is the stamina recovered beyond the upper limit value, in the storage unit 11 (step S5). In the example of FIG. 3, the over recovery stamina meter is 40.

  Thereafter, the parameter management means 102 determines whether or not stamina has been consumed by the user playing the game (step S6).

  If stamina is not consumed (S6: NO), the process repeats step S6.

  On the other hand, when the stamina is consumed (S6: YES), the parameter management unit 102 determines whether or not the user has selected to restore the stamina based on the over-recovery stamina (step S7).

  If the user has not selected to restore the stamina based on the over-recovery stamina (S7: NO), the parameter management means 102 executes a normal stamina recovery process, and then the process proceeds to step S6. Return.

On the other hand, when the user chooses to restore the stamina based on the over-recovery stamina as shown in FIG. 4 (S7: YES), the parameter management means 102 uses the same amount of over-recovery as the consumed stamina. The stamina information is read from the storage unit 11, and the stamina speed recovery process is executed (step S8). Thereafter, the stamina speed recovery process of the present invention ends.
The stamina speed recovery process of the present invention is executed by the above procedure.

  The control means and the processing procedure described above are examples, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to these. The processing procedure and the like can be appropriately changed in design without changing the gist of the present invention.

In summary, the game program of this embodiment is
A game apparatus 1 including an operation unit 15 that receives an operation signal from a user,
Game execution means 101 that causes the game device 1 to execute a predetermined game based on the fact that the operation unit 15 has received the operation signal, and a stamina in which an upper limit value is set, and is consumed for executing the game (E.g., 30 stamina is consumed) and parameter management means 102 for managing stamina that requires a predetermined time (e.g., 3 minutes) to recover for each consumption of a predetermined amount (e.g., 1 stamina),
Function as
When the recovery of stamina is instructed by the fact that the game has reached a predetermined progress (for example, the user has used a predetermined game item), the parameter management means 102 determines the predetermined recovery stamina instructed to recover. Based on the value of, the stamina is recovered in a shorter time (for example, 1 minute) than the predetermined time for every consumption of the predetermined amount (1 stamina).

<Effect of the invention>
According to the game program of the present embodiment, even when the stamina exceeds the upper limit value, stamina recovery is not prohibited, and the user can efficiently recover the stamina.

[Other Embodiments]
In the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which stamina speed recovery is performed based on over-recovery stamina, but the present invention is not limited to this. Even if the stamina upper limit value is not exceeded and the recovery of the stamina is not instructed (there is no occurrence of over-recovery stamina), the speed recovery may be performed based on the value of the stamina in which the recovery is instructed. For example, when 60 stamina is consumed and 30 stamina recovery is instructed, the 30 stamina can be speed-recovered.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a predetermined amount of over-recovery stamina is used according to a user instruction to recover the stamina is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the user gives an instruction, the overstamina value may be decreased by 1 every minute, and the stamina value may be recovered by 1 accordingly. In this case, the user may be able to set / cancel this function at an arbitrary timing.

  In the embodiment, when the stamina is consumed after the over-recovery stamina is generated, the user can select whether to perform the stamina speed recovery process based on the over-recovery stamina. Although described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the stamina is consumed after the over-recovery stamina has occurred, the stamina speed recovery process may be forcibly executed without an instruction from the user.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the example in which stamina is managed within the game device is described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the server device may manage stamina and transmit the stamina information to the game device. In this case, since the stamina is managed by the server device, it is possible to prevent fraud related to stamina by the user.

  Further, the parameter management means can increase the recovery speed of the stamina as the amount of over-recovery stamina increases. On the contrary, the parameter management means can slow down the recovery speed of the stamina as the amount of over-recovery stamina increases.

  In addition, when the predetermined condition is satisfied after the over recovery stamina occurs, the stamina may be recovered by the amount of the over recovery stamina, and in addition, the stamina may be speed recovered by the amount of the over recovery stamina. .

  For example, if 40 stamina is consumed and there are 20 over-recovery stamina, 20 stamina for the over-recovery stamina will immediately recover (remaining stamina will recover to 80), Speed recovery may be performed for 20 stamina of over recovery stamina. Examples of the predetermined condition include various conditions such as a high score of a predetermined value or more obtained as a game result, or the game being cleared in a time shorter than the predetermined time.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the example in which stamina is consumed when a user selects a quest is described, this invention is not limited to this. For example, stamina may be consumed at the end of the quest.

  Further, unlike the above embodiment, the user may be able to acquire any of a plurality of items that can be used during the game instead of stamina recovery, depending on the amount of over-recovery stamina. . In this case, for example, the user can acquire an item with a higher degree of rarity as the amount of over-recovery stamina is larger.

  Further, unlike the above embodiment, the over-recovery stamina is distributed not to the user but to all of the friends registered by the user or a part of the friends specified by the user based on the user's operation. You can also

  Moreover, although the example in which the game device is a terminal device such as a smartphone is described in the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. The game device may be, for example, a stationary game device to which a display and a controller are externally connected, or a personal computer.
