  For this reason, if a character who has acquired many skills dies in a battle, the skills that the character has acquired over a long experience will be lost, and the player who operates the character will be greatly damaged. Items such as weapons can be handed over or collected, but since their skills are exclusive to oneself, they cannot be collected or given in advance.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a game program capable of inheriting an ability exclusively belonging to a character such as a soldier to another character in a game such as a battle game.

  A game program provided by the first aspect of the present invention causes a computer having a display to function as a game screen display unit, a first assigning unit, an inactivity unit, a collecting unit, and a second assigning unit. The game screen display means displays, on a display, a game screen as a place where the character is active. The first assigning means assigns a skill, which is a special ability according to the experience of the activity on the game screen, to the character. The inactivity means, when the character is damaged by a predetermined amount or more in the activity on the game screen, changes the character to an inactivity state in which the character cannot be further activated. The recovering means recovers a skill from the inactive character by the operation of the player. The second assigning means assigns the collected skills to the second character by the operation of the player.

  In the above invention, the collection means may be made executable by payment of the consideration by the player.

  In the above invention, the recovery means may be performed in a form of recovering the belonging item from the inactive character, and the second providing means may be performed in a form of providing the belonging item to the second character.

  In the above invention, when the second character already has the same skill as the skill to be provided, and the skill has a plurality of levels, the second granting means changes the level of the same skill possessed by the second character. You may make it raise.

  In the above invention, the game screen may include a battle scene between a character and an enemy. Further, the computer may further function as employment means for allowing the player to operate (employ) up to a predetermined number (for example, 10) of characters. The character gains skills in battle and becomes inactive due to battle damage. In this case, the collecting means collects the skills at the time of burying the dead character, and the employment means, when the dead character is buried, replaces the new character with the dead character. May be permitted to the player.

  A game system provided by the second aspect of the present invention includes a storage unit that stores the game program, a display, and a control unit that executes the game program.

  According to the present invention, after the character becomes inactive (dead state), the skill can be collected from the character and given to another second character, so that the second character can inherit the skill. .

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a smartphone used as a game machine. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a schematic flow of the battle game. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen (recruitment screen). FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a memory that stores information on soldiers. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen (map screen, battle screen). FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control unit of the game machine.

  The game machine 1 and the game program 40 functioning as the game machine according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the configuration of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment. Further, the processing procedure of each flowchart is not limited to the embodiment, and the order is not limited unless inconsistency or the like occurs.

  In the game machine 1, a game called a so-called "battle game" is executed. The battle game is a game as follows. The player (user) plays in the game as a manager and captain of a private military company. Order missions in conflict areas and organize teams (units) with multiple soldiers to complete the mission. If the mission is successful, the player can get a reward in the game currency. Players can use the currency to hire more soldiers and purchase items such as weapons. As the currency, in addition to the above-mentioned in-game currency, it is also possible to deposit and use an actual currency.

  Soldiers who have joined the team will gain ranks and skills as soldiers by experiencing missions (combat). Here, the rank is an index indicating the basic ability of a soldier, and has four levels of beginner (rookie), professional, veteran, and expert. The higher the rank, the better the soldier's physical strength, the higher the hit rate of the attack, the higher the evasion ability against the opponent's attack, and the more the number of skill slots (the number that can be acquired) described later, etc. There is.

  Skills are special skills of soldiers, such as "climbers (can move quickly on slopes)" and "snipers" (the ability to use specific weapons (sniper rifles) improves the hit rate and attack power). "and so on. A skill acquired by a soldier has a skill level, which is a value indicating the skill acquisition level of the skill. The higher the skill level, the more soldiers can perform that skill with higher abilities.

  When a scene where the skill can be demonstrated in a battle scene appears, the control unit 10 determines whether the soldier has the corresponding skill, and if the soldier has the skill, the control unit 10 determines that the soldier has the corresponding skill. Increase the level of activity (activity speed, volume, accuracy, etc.) at a rate that depends on the skill level. For example, if a scene appears to be moving on a mountain slope and fighting, and there is a soldier with the skill of a climber, the speed at which the soldier climbs the slope is increased by a ratio corresponding to the skill level compared to a normal soldier.

  Items such as weapons are loaned from the player who is the owner and can be delivered to the player after the mission is over, while the rank and skills of the soldier are acquired by the soldier through experience It is a thing (so-called exclusive use) and cannot basically be given to another soldier or received from another soldier. However, in this game, only when a soldier dies, only the skills of the deceased soldier are collected and given to other soldiers so that they can be succeeded.

  However, as described above, skills are originally exclusive to one person, and can be collected (purchased) from a soldier only when the soldier dies. Therefore, once a skill has been granted to a soldier, it will become that soldier's skill and cannot be reclaimed (while alive).

  With reference to the block diagram of FIG. 1, the game machine 1 on which the battle game is executed will be described. In this embodiment, a multifunctional mobile phone (so-called smartphone) is used as a game machine for executing a game. The game device is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a dedicated portable game machine, a personal computer, or the like.

  1, the game machine 1 has a control unit 10, an operation unit 20, an external storage unit 21, a Wi-Fi communication circuit 22, and a 3G / 4G communication circuit 23 on a bus 16. The control unit 10 includes a CPU 11, a ROM (flash memory) 12, a RAM 13, an image processor 14, and an audio processor 15. A video RAM (VRAM) 24 is connected to the image processor 14, and a display unit 25 is connected to the VRAM 24. The display unit 25 includes a liquid crystal display 30. An amplifier 26 including a D / A converter is connected to the audio processor 15, and a speaker 27 and an earphone terminal 28 are connected to the amplifier 26.

  The Wi-Fi communication circuit 22 is connected to a network 3 such as the Internet via a wireless access point (not shown). As the communication standard, IEEE 802.11g standard or the like is applied. The 3G / 4G communication circuit 33 is connected to the mobile phone communication network 4 via a base station (not shown). The server 2 is connected to the network 3 and the mobile phone communication network 4. The server 2 stores a game program 40 of a battle game and the like. The game machine 1 downloads the game program 40 by communicating with the server 2 via the network 3 or the mobile phone communication network 4.

  The operation unit 20 includes a touch panel 31. The touch panel 31 covers the entire surface of the display 30, and detects taps and drags of icons and the like displayed on the display 30. Information on the detected tap and drag is input to the CPU 11.

  The external storage unit 21 includes a micro SD card or the like inserted into a card slot of the game machine 1 and stores the downloaded game program 40 and the like. The game program 40 includes, in addition to the program itself, game data such as characters and items necessary for the progress of the game.

  A work area used when the CPU 11 executes the game program 40 is set in the RAM 13. The work area includes various parameters generated as the game progresses. The ROM 12 stores a system program for controlling the operation of the game machine 1 and the like.

  The image processor 14 includes a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit, a graphics processing unit) capable of generating a game image. The image processor 14 generates a game image as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 according to an instruction from the CPU 11 and draws the game image on the VRAM 24.

  The audio processor 15 has a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for generating game audio. The sound processor 15 outputs the generated game sound to the amplifier 26. Amplifier 26 amplifies this audio signal and outputs it to speaker 27 and earphone terminal 28.

  Hereinafter, the battle game will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. The control of the game described below is realized by cooperation between the game machine 1 and the game program 40. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a schematic flow of the battle game. In the game, the player hires a soldier (S1), receives a mission (S2), forms a team (unit) for performing the mission (S3), performs and ends the mission (S4, S5), and dies. The process of burying a soldier (S6) and giving the skills collected from the dead soldier to other soldiers (S7) are performed. These operations (plays) do not necessarily have to be performed in the order described above. For example, a team may be formed (S3), a mission may be received (S2), and the dead may remain in the barracks. You may take orders for the next mission.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen. This figure shows an example of a screen displayed when a player goes to a recruiting site to hire a soldier. First, a plurality of icons 62-65 are displayed at the bottom of the screen. These are a map icon 62, a recruitment icon 63, a barracks icon 64, and an item icon 65, respectively. The map icon 62 is tapped when shifting to a conflict area map screen as shown in FIG. . On the map of the conflict area, players can order missions. The recruitment icon 63 is tapped to display a list of soldiers as displayed on the game screen of FIG. The player can tap and hire the appropriate soldier from the list. The barracks icon 64 is tapped to display a list of employed soldiers (barracks). In the barracks, as shown in FIG. 4, a player can form a team for performing a mission or bury a dead soldier among the hired soldiers. The item icon 65 is tapped when displaying a list of items such as weapons possessed by the player (armory). Weapon items can be lent to soldiers, or collected from soldiers and returned to the arsenal. The map icon 62, the recruitment icon 63, the barracks icon 64, and the item icon 65 are displayed whenever the game screen changes to any screen.

  3 and 4, when hiring a soldier, a recruiting site is visited and an appropriate soldier is selected and hired from a list of soldiers as shown in FIG. Although a plurality of soldiers are displayed on the display 30 shown in FIG. 3, a soldier called “Eldra” will be described below. The information display column 50 of “Eldora” describes a photograph 51, a name (Eldora) 52, a rank 53, acquired skills 54, and a price 55 when hiring. In the case of the soldier 50, the rank is “veteran” having a higher rank and has acquired three skills. For this reason, the price "159" for hiring this soldier is higher than the price of other soldiers. Photo, name, rank, skill, and price are displayed for other soldiers as well. The maximum number of skills that can be acquired (acquired) is determined according to the rank of the soldier. No skill icon is displayed in the column of soldiers who have not acquired the skill.

  The currency display columns 60 and 61 provided at the top of the display 30 display the deposited real currency “400” and the acquired in-game currency “12358”. Using this currency, players can hire soldiers. Initially, a player can employ up to 10 soldiers. However, it is also possible to hire more than 10 soldiers by paying for the "barracks expansion" separately.

  When the map icon 62 is tapped, the game screen shifts to a map screen (radar screen) shown in FIG. The map is a bird's-eye view of the conflict area, and the display area moves when the player swipes. There are missions throughout the conflict area. Here, the location where the mission exists is called the battle site. There are usually multiple battle sites, each of which requires different missions. For example, "Rescue key persons" and "Destroy radar facilities." The player receives an order for the mission by tapping the desired mission.

  When a mission is received, the game screen displayed on the display 30 shifts to a screen as shown in FIG. If a team has been formed, the team may shift to the mission as it is, or the team may be formed here in accordance with the mission received. In this case, the player taps the barracks icon 64 to shift the game screen to the barracks screen.

  The barracks screen is similar to the recruitment screen shown in FIG. 3, and displays a list of employed soldiers (hereinafter, also referred to as mercenaries). In FIG. 4, when a soldier is hired, its data is copied from the recruitment site memory 41 to the barracks memory 42. When the barracks icon 64 is tapped, a list of soldier (mercenary) information stored in the memory 42 is displayed. From among them, tap and select 5 people who seem appropriate for this mission and form a team. When the map icon 62 is tapped in a state where a mission order has been received, the screen displayed on the display 30 switches to a mission screen as shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 5 (B), the mission screen shows a battle place 101 as a destination of the mission above the display 30 and a base 102 with a barracks below the display 30, and a route from the base 102 to the battle place 101. 103 is automatically set. A team 104 composed of five soldiers moves toward the battlefield 101 along a route 103 set in a platoon. Here, when the team 104 wants to change the route 103 on which the team 104 moves, the player presses one point (point to be changed) P1 on the route 103 with the finger F in the direction to change, as shown in FIG. Drag. In FIG. 5C, one point P1 on the route 103 has been dragged to the position of P2 in the right direction. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5D, the route is changed in the dragged direction, and a new route 103A is set.

  When the battle starts, the team attacks the enemy territory and is attacked by the enemy territory. A soldier dies (becomes dead) when the damage received from the enemy is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. If three of the five people die, the mission cannot be completed and the mission ends with a failure. If the mission objective is fulfilled with no more than two dead people, the mission ends with success.

  If the mission is successful, the player will receive a reward in in-game currency. Also, whether the mission succeeds or fails, you can pick up items found on the battlefield and make them your own. In addition, soldiers who survive belonging to the team acquire skills or increase their already acquired skill levels according to their actions and activities in the battle. Soldiers also gain ranks as they gain experience in combat.

  In the display on the display 30 of the barracks 42, the dead persons are displayed in a grayed out manner. The deceased cannot be selected for a team on a subsequent mission. When a player performs an operation to bury a dead person, the space occupied by the soldier becomes vacant and a new soldier can be hired. The timing of burying dead soldiers is free. If you do not need to recruit soldiers, you can leave them in the barracks forever.

  The burial is conducted in a setting in which the body and artifacts are returned to the bereaved family. The player can purchase the skill note 44 from the surviving family members. In other words, in this fighting game, the soldier leaves the outline of the acquired skill in the notebook 44, and the other soldiers can acquire and read the notebook 44 so that they can acquire the skill without any experience. . Therefore, in this game, a player who is the owner of a private military company buys a skill note 44 of a dead soldier from a bereaved family and gives the note 44 to another soldier, so that the soldier who died is the same as the soldier who died. You can acquire skills.

  The burial process and the skill assignment process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6 and FIG. FIG. 6A is a flowchart showing a burial process for burying a dead soldier. First, the player selects whether or not to purchase the skills acquired by the deceased soldier (S11). If a soldier has acquired multiple skills, it is possible to buy only some of them. Also, as described above, skills have levels (indicated by numerical values from 1 to 15). When purchasing skills, all levels must be purchased. It cannot be done. However, it may be possible to purchase only a part of the skill level.

  When the skill is purchased (YES in S11), the price for the skill is paid in real currency or in-game currency (S12). The price of the skill may be constant, or may be changed according to the value or level of the skill. In addition, a special item for collecting skills may be prepared in the game, and when the player obtains this item, the player may pay with this item instead of currency. After paying the consideration, the player acquires a skill in the form of a skill note 44 (S13). Thereafter, the deceased soldier is buried (S14), and a space for this soldier is generated in the barracks 42 (S15).

  The purchased skill note 44 may be kept by the player forever, but by giving this skill note to an appropriate soldier at an appropriate timing, the soldier can acquire (acquire) the skill.

  FIG. 6B is a flowchart showing a skill giving operation for giving a skill note to a soldier. First, a soldier to whom a skill is to be given is selected (S21). Soldiers are selected from the soldiers they employ. Then, the skill note 44 is given to the selected soldier (S22). The control unit 10 determines whether the soldier has acquired the same skill (S23). If not yet acquired (NO in S23), this soldier is made to acquire the same level of skill as the skill note 44 (S24). On the other hand, if the soldier has already acquired the same skill (YES in S23), the skill level is increased by the level of the skill note 44 (S25).

  When the player collects the skill (purchases the skill note 44), skill information such as the type of skill (such as a climber) and the skill level (numerical value) are stored in a memory area for storing the skill collected by the player. When the skill is given to a soldier, the above skill information is transferred to a storage area for storing the skill of the soldier.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the character operated by the player is a soldier has been described by taking a battle game as an example. However, the game program of the present invention is not limited to a battle game, and the characters are not limited to soldiers. Further, the skill is a special ability given to the character according to the experience of the character, but this ability is not limited to the ability related to battle. For example, it may be the ability to drive a car or the ability to cook.

  In the above embodiment, the skill that automatically activates the effect when the game enters that phase (so-called passive skill) has been described as an example. However, the skill that can be activated at any timing by the operation of the player (so-called active skill) Skill). For example, there is a skill for activating at an arbitrary timing to damage surrounding enemy characters.

  In this embodiment, the death state is described as a typical example of the state in which the soldier can no longer be active. However, the “inactivity state in which the soldier cannot be further activated” of the present invention is limited to the death state in which the character has died. Instead, the character may be in a state in which the character can no longer be active, and includes states such as "combat disabled state", "dying state", and "retired".
