Description

  The present invention relates to a game device, a program, and an arcade game device.

  Nowadays, a plurality of players can play the same game using a so-called arcade game device provided in an amusement facility or the like. Further, it is possible to play a so-called online game in which the game program is downloaded to a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, the game progress processing is executed on the server side, and the processing result is reflected on each mobile terminal. ..

  Some of these games consume some cost (eg "stamina") to perform in-game actions (eg "quests") and the consumed stamina recovers over time. Exists.

  In such a game, the game cannot be continued when the stamina is exhausted. Therefore, the player of the game chooses whether to wait for the recovery of stamina over time or to acquire the recovery item by paying the fee and use the acquired recovery item to immediately recover the stamina and continue the game. It will be.

  When using recovery items obtained by billing, there are many situations where an odd amount of stamina is left over. For example, if the maximum stamina is "100" and the current stamina is "28" in a game that consumes "30" stamina to perform a quest, using a recovery item here will result in "28". The stamina that was "" will be fully recovered to "100". Whether the stamina is "0" or "28", the stamina after using the recovery item is "100". Therefore, when the stamina is "28", the player originally has it. I feel that I lost the stamina of "28". Therefore, as a player's action, it is common to wait for the "28" stamina to recover to "30", perform one quest that consumes "30" stamina, and then use the recovery item. It was

  Also, in a game that consumes "30" stamina to perform a quest with relatively large rewards, and "10" stamina to perform quest with relatively small rewards, the current stamina was "21". Occasionally, in order to avoid losing all of the "21" stamina, the player uses the recovery item after performing two quests that consume "10" stamina for the purpose of earning a reward. Was common.

  However, there is a problem that the tempo of the game becomes worse due to the waiting time for the recovery of the stamina during the game. As a technique for solving such a problem, Patent Document 1 discloses increasing the stamina by exceeding the stamina recovery upper limit value by paying a fee.

  However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, although the stamina can be increased by exceeding the stamina recovery upper limit value by paying the charge (or the purchased item), if the stamina recovery upper limit value is exceeded, , There is no recovery of stamina over time. Therefore, the player may feel that the state of less than the recovery upper limit value with the recovery of stamina over time is more advantageous than the state of the recovery upper limit value with no recovery of stamina over time. As a result, a player who wants to play a large number of games does not pay the fee at one time, but waits for the stamina to fall below the recovery upper limit, and then pays the fee separately. May slow down the gameplay tempo.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide a technique capable of further improving the tempo of game play.

  A game device according to the present invention, when executing a game action in a game, executes means for subtracting a value according to the game action from an execution allowance value, and recovers the execution allowance value over time. By the time recovery means for recovering with the upper limit as the upper limit and by using the game item obtained by the payment of the fee or the payment, the execution allowable value is increased with the maximum value higher than the recovery upper limit as the upper limit. Charging recovery means, wherein the charging recovery means has a higher value when the execution allowance value exceeds the recovery upper limit value than when the execution allowance value is below the recovery upper limit value. Increase the execution allowance.

  A program according to the present invention is a computer, when executing a game action in a game, executing means for subtracting a value according to the game action from an execution allowance value, with the passage of time, the execution allowance value, The execution allowance value is increased up to a maximum value which is a value higher than the recovery upper limit value, by means of time recovery means for recovering with the recovery upper limit value as an upper limit, payment of a fee, or use of a game item obtained by the payment. A program for functioning as a charge recovery means, wherein the charge recovery means is configured such that when the execution allowable value exceeds the recovery upper limit value, the execution allowable value is less than the recovery upper limit value. Also increases the execution permissible value with a high value.

  An arcade game machine according to the present invention is an arcade game machine that can be installed in a game facility, and when executing a game action in a game, executing means for subtracting a value according to the game action from an execution allowable value. And, with the passage of time, the execution allowable value, by the time recovery means for recovering the recovery upper limit value as an upper limit, and by using the game item obtained by the payment of the fee or the payment, the execution allowable value, Charging recovery means for increasing the maximum value which is a value higher than the recovery upper limit as an upper limit, and the charging recovery means, when the execution allowable value exceeds the recovery upper limit value, the execution allowable value Increases the execution permissible value at a value higher than when the value is below the recovery upper limit value.

[Example of functional configuration of game device 100]
Next, a functional configuration of the game device 100 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a functional block diagram showing the functional configuration of the game device 100 of this embodiment in blocks.

  The game device 100 includes, for example, a storage unit 300, a credit unit 302, a reading unit 304, a game starting unit 305, a game executing unit 306, a permitting unit 308, a measuring unit 310, and a game ending unit 312. And a payout means 314. Further, in the present embodiment, the game device 100 has a display unit 316, a time recovery unit 318, and a credit recovery unit 320 as a functional configuration. These functional configurations are realized, for example, by the CPU 201 expanding a game program stored in the storage device 204 into the main memory 202 and executing the game program.

  The storage unit 300 stores player identification information, credit balance, current stamina, maximum stamina value, and game progress status information in association with each other. The player identification information is ID information that uniquely identifies the player. In this embodiment, the ID corresponding to the barcode printed on the card is used as the player identification information. The credit balance is the number of remaining credits at the end of the previous game. The game progress information is information regarding the progress of the game such as the arrival point in the game at the end of the previous game, for example, which quest has been cleared. Further, when a card is inserted in the card reading device 104 at the end of the game, the storage means 300 stores the credit balance and the game progress status information recorded in the storage device 204 in association with the ID of the card. Update.

  The credit means 302 detects a coin inserted from the coin insertion device 105, converts the coin into a credit corresponding to the amount of the coin, and adds the credit to the credit stored in the storage means 300.

  The reading unit 304 reads the player identification information from the card inserted in the card reading device 104.

  The game starting means 305 responds to the acquisition of the player identification information by the reading means 304, and responds to the acquisition of the operation information of the operation input device 103 by the player, and waits for the display of the display device 102 to be a standby screen (advertisement screen). Switch to the game screen from and the game starts.

  For example, in response to the acquisition of the permission notification by the permission unit 308, the game execution unit 306 subtracts a value corresponding to the quest from the stamina (execution allowable value) in the game, and the game action of the present embodiment is performed. Perform the quest of. That is, the game execution means 306 subtracts the value corresponding to the quest from the stamina when executing the game action. In addition, in the conventional arcade game device, it is necessary to insert a predetermined coin to start a game and execute a game action. However, in the game device 100 of the present embodiment, the game can be started without inserting coins, and if the current stamina is equal to or more than the consumption stamina according to the quest, coins need not be inserted. You can execute quests as game actions.

  The permission unit 308 is composed of, for example, the CPU 201, the main memory 202, the game program GP, and the like. The permitting means 308 stores the current contents stored in the storing means 300 at the time of starting the execution by the game executing means 306, for example, immediately before the quest of the story in which the decision button 248 shown in FIG. 3 is pressed is executed. The consumption stamina corresponding to the quest is subtracted from the stamina, and a permission notice is given to the game execution means 306 to permit the quest to be performed.

  Specifically, the permission unit 308 performs the processing shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the permitting means 308. The process of this flowchart is repeated, for example, every one second on the story selection screen 220 shown in FIG. In the following, the identification code in parentheses corresponds to the step identification code in the figure.

(SP10) The permission unit 308 determines whether or not the decision button 248 shown in FIG. 3 has been pressed. If the determination is affirmative, the permitting means 308 proceeds to the processing of step SP12, and if the determination is negative, the entire processing is ended.

(SP12) The permission unit 308 acquires the current stamina S0 from the storage unit 300. Next, the permitting means 308 shifts to the processing of step SP14.

(SP14) The permission unit 308 acquires the consumption stamina S1 corresponding to the type of story selected by the player. Next, the permitting means 308 shifts to the processing of step SP16.

(SP16) The permission unit 308 determines whether or not the current stamina S0 is equal to or more than the consumption stamina S1 (S0 ≧ S1). If an affirmative determination is made, the processing moves to step SP18, and if a negative determination is made, the processing moves to step SP22.

(SP18) The permission unit 308 consumes stamina. Specifically, the consumption stamina S1 is subtracted from the current stamina S0 (S0 = S0-S1). Then, the stamina S0 after the subtraction is stored in the storage means 300 as the current stamina S0. As a result, the display means 316 reflects the result of the subtraction on the bar 228 of the current stamina shown in FIG. Next, the permitting means 308 shifts to the processing of step SP20.

(SP20) The permission unit 308 gives a permission notification to the game execution unit 306 without the player inserting a coin. As a result, the game executing means 306 can execute the quest. Next, the permitting means 308 ends the entire processing.

(SP22) The permission unit 308 causes the display unit 316 to display that the quest cannot be executed on the story selection screen 220. Further, a display for prompting a charge such as "insert coin" or "use credit" is displayed. Next, the permitting means 308 ends the entire processing.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the measuring means 310 will be described. The measuring means 310 measures the progress time of the game. This measured value is reflected in the time display field 236 shown in FIG. 3 at any time.

  The game ending means 312 ends the game when the player wants to end the game at a predetermined timing and selects a game end button or the like. The predetermined timing is to select the game end button on the map screen, the continue screen that is displayed when you have failed to capture the story, select “Do not continue”, the result screen after capturing the story, This is the timing for selecting “Do not continue”.

  The payout unit 314 pays out the card when the game ends, when the card is not inserted into the card reading device 104 before the game starts.

  The display unit 316 includes, for example, the display device 102, the CPU 201, the main memory 202, a game program, and the like. The display unit 316 controls the display of the story selection screen 220 and the stamina bar 228 shown in FIG. In addition to the display prompting the charging, the display unit 316 displays, for example, when the current stamina S0 exceeds a predetermined recovery upper limit value (a value lower than the maximum stamina value) of the time recovery unit 318 described later. The background of the bar display column 226 has a color similar to that of the bar 228, and when the current stamina S0 is equal to or lower than the recovery upper limit value (eg, “100”), the background of the bar display column 226 has a color different from that of the bar 228. As a specific example, for example, when the stamina exceeds the recovery upper limit value, the display unit 316 sets the color of the bar frame 230 or the color within the frame 230 to the same blue color as the bar 228, and the current stamina S0 is the recovery upper limit value. In the following case, the color of the frame 230 of the bar and the color inside the frame 230 are set to red, which is different from the color of the bar 228 (blue).

  The time recovery unit 318 recovers the current stamina S0 subtracted by the permission unit 308 with the elapse of time with the recovery upper limit value as the upper limit. The degree of time-dependent recovery and the time interval of time-dependent recovery are not particularly limited. For example, the stamina S0 can be set to recover “1” every three minutes. When the current stamina S0 reaches the upper limit of recovery, further recovery with time is not performed.

  Specifically, the temporal recovery unit 318 performs processing as shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the time recovery means 318 when the stamina S0 recovers “X” every 5 seconds. The process of this flowchart is repeated every one second on the story selection screen 220 shown in FIG. In the following, the identification code in parentheses corresponds to the step identification code in the figure.

(SP30) The temporal recovery unit 318 determines whether, for example, 5 seconds have elapsed since the previous temporal recovery. The aged recovery means 318 moves to the processing of step SP32 when a positive determination is made, and ends the entire processing when a negative determination is made.

(SP32) The temporal recovery unit 318 acquires the current stamina S0 from the storage unit 300. Next, the temporal recovery unit 318 shifts to the processing of step SP34.

(SP34) The temporal recovery unit 318 determines whether or not the current stamina S0 is equal to or higher than the recovery upper limit value Smax1 (for example, “100”) (S0 ≧ Smax1). The aged recovery means 318 completes the entire process if it makes an affirmative decision, and moves to the process at step SP36 if it makes a negative decision.

(SP36) The time recovery means 318 recovers the current stamina S0 with time. Specifically, the temporal recovery unit 318 adds the numerical value X (for example, “2”) to the current stamina S0 (S0 = S0 + X). Then, the added stamina S0 is stored in the storage means 300 as the current stamina S0. As a result, the display means 316 reflects the result of the addition on the bar 228 of the current stamina shown in FIG. Here, for example, when adding “2” or more to the current stamina S0, the current stamina S0 is set not to exceed the recovery upper limit value Smax1. For example, when the current stamina S0 is "99", the degree of temporal recovery is 2, and the recovery upper limit value Smax1 is "100", the temporal recovery means 318 recovers the current stamina S0 to 100, and the remaining temporal recovery is performed. Cut off "1". Next, the temporal recovery unit 318 ends the entire processing.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the credit recovery means 320 will be described. The credit recovery means 320 uses the credit (that is, the item obtained by paying the fee) to set a value higher than the recovery upper limit value Smax1 for the current stamina S0 without setting the recovery upper limit value Smax1 as the upper limit. A value is added as an upper limit value (hereinafter referred to as “maximum value” or “increased maximum value”) (that is, the value of stamina S0 can be increased beyond the recovery upper limit value Smax1). That is, the credit recovery means 320 can recover the current stamina S0 to the recovery upper limit value Smax1, and further increase the current stamina S0 beyond the recovery upper limit value Smax1 with the maximum increase value as the upper limit. Note that the credit recovery means 320 can increase the current value of the stamina S0 with the maximum increase value as the upper limit, in response to the payment of the fee, not to the use of the credit.

  When the current stamina S0 exceeds the recovery upper limit value Smax1 (or when the current stamina S0 value and the recovery upper limit value Smax1 are equal), the player tries to increase the stamina S0 by using credits. In this case, the credit recovery means 320 can add a higher value to the current stamina S0 than when the current stamina S0 is below the recovery upper limit value Smax1 (for example, a value increased by 10% is added). To).

  The value of the stamina (permissible execution value) added by the credit recovery means 320 is between the maximum stamina value and the recovery upper limit value Smax1 when the current stamina S0 is lower than the recovery upper limit value Smax1. It is preferable to recover by a value equal to or less than the difference.

  An example of a specific flow of processing by the credit recovery unit 320 will be described with reference to FIG. 7. In the following, the identification code in parentheses corresponds to the step identification code in the figure.

(SP701) The credit recovery means 320 determines whether or not the stamina recovery button 232 has been pressed. If it is determined that the stamina recovery button 232 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step SP702.

(SP702) The credit recovery means 320 refers to the storage means 300 for the current credit balance, and is the credit balance equal to or more than a predetermined value (for example, "1" which is the minimum number of credits required to recover stamina). Determine whether or not. If the affirmative determination is made, the process proceeds to step SP705, and if the negative determination is made, the process proceeds to step SP703.

(SP703) The credit recovery means 320 causes the display means 316 to display a dialog box 420 as shown in FIG. 8 on the story selection screen 220. In this dialog box 420, for example, there is a description such as "You can recover stamina 100 with 1 CREDIT! Please add CREDIT.", "Yes" button 422, "Cancel" button 424, and the like. Next, the process proceeds to step SP704.

(SP704) The credit recovery means 320 determines whether the "Yes" button 422 or the "Cancel" button 424 in the dialog box 420 has been pressed. When the “Yes” button 422 is pressed, the credit recovery unit 320 performs a process for adding a credit, and the process proceeds to step SP705. When the “Cancel” button 424 is pressed, the processing of FIG. 7 ends.

(SP705) The credit recovery means 320 causes the display means 316 to display a dialog box 410 as shown in FIG. 9 on the story selection screen 220. In this dialog box 410, for example, a description such as "I can recover 100 stamina with 1 CREDIT! Are you sure you want to consume 1 CREDIT?", "Yes" button 412, "Cancel" button 414, etc. are displayed. Next, the process proceeds to step SP706.

(SP706) The credit recovery means 320 determines whether the "Yes" button 412 or the "Cancel" button 414 in the dialog box 410 has been pressed. If the “Yes” button 412 is pressed, the process proceeds to step SP707, and if the “Cancel” button 414 is pressed, the process of FIG. 7 ends.

(SP707) The credit recovery means 320 determines whether or not the current stamina S0 is greater than or equal to the recovery upper limit value Smax1 (S0 ≧ Smax1). If a positive determination is made, the process proceeds to step SP709, and if a negative decision is made, the process proceeds to step SP708.

  In step SP707, the credit recovery means 320 determines whether or not the current stamina S0 is equal to or higher than the recovery upper limit value Smax1, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the credit recovery means 320 may determine whether or not the current stamina S0 exceeds the recovery upper limit value Smax1, or the current stamina S0 is less than the recovery upper limit value Smax1, but the recovery upper limit value Smax1 is reached. It may be determined whether or not the value is a value set in advance as being close (for example, “98” when the recovery upper limit value Smax1 is “100”). Even when such a determination is made, if an affirmative determination is made, the process proceeds to step SP709, and if a negative determination is made, the process proceeds to step SP708.

(SP708) The credit recovery means 320 adds a predetermined value (normal value) to the current stamina S0 subtracted by the permission means 308 by using, for example, 1 credit from the credit balance. For example, the credit recovery means 320 adds the numerical value Y (for example, “100”) to the current stamina S0 (S0 = S0 + Y). The credit recovery means 320 can set this numerical value Y so that the difference SS1 between the maximum value Smax2 (maximum value) of the stamina and the recovery upper limit value Smax1 is less than or equal to (Y ≦ SS1). For example, when the maximum value Smax2 is "300" and the recovery upper limit value Smax1 is "100", the difference SS1 is "200" (= 300-100). After that, the process of FIG. 7 ends.

  As a result of the recovery (addition) of the stamina by the credit recovery means 320, the current stamina S0 may exceed the recovery upper limit value Smax1, and the credit recovery means 320 may add the maximum stamina maximum value Smax2 as an upper limit. it can. Then, the credit recovery means 320 stores the added stamina S0 in the storage means 300 as the current stamina S0. As a result, the display means 316 reflects the result of the addition on the bar 228 of the current stamina shown in FIG.

(SP709) The credit recovery means 320 uses, for example, 1 credit from the credit balance, and sets a predetermined value (a value that is a premium from the normal value in step SP708) to the current stamina S0 subtracted by the permission means 308. to add. For example, the credit recovery means 320 adds the numerical value Z (for example, “110”) to the current stamina S0 (S0 = S0 + Z). The credit recovery means 320 can set this numerical value Z such that the difference SS1 between the maximum stamina value Smax2 (maximum value) and the recovery upper limit value Smax1 is less than or equal to (Z ≦ SS1). After that, the process of FIG. 7 ends.

  When the current stamina S0 is equal to or higher than the recovery upper limit value Smax1, in step SP709, the stamina is added by a value (for example, Z = Y × 1.1) that is increased from the normal value, but the amount is increased. Can be set arbitrarily. For example, the additional amount may be increased according to the magnitude of the difference between the current stamina S0 and the recovery upper limit value Smax1 (for example, when the difference is “10”, the additional amount is set to “10”). On the other hand, when the difference is “20”, the extra amount can be set to “20”).

  Further, in step SP705, when the current stamina S0 is equal to or more than the recovery upper limit value Smax1, the credit recovery means 320 causes the display means 316 to display a dialog box as shown in FIG. 10 on the story selection screen 220. .. In this dialog box, for example, a description such as "You can recover 100 stamina with 1 CREDIT! It's a 10% savings over normal!" Is displayed. That is, when the current stamina S0 is equal to or higher than the recovery upper limit value Smax1, the display unit 316 displays information related to the addition of the stamina with a value that is increased from the normal value.

[Effect of game device 100]
Next, the effect of the game device 100 will be described.

  First, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to increase the stamina by exceeding the stamina recovery upper limit value Smax1 by the credit (or the payment of the fee) which is the purchased item. Furthermore, when the current stamina exceeds the recovery upper limit value Smax1, a value that is a premium from the normal value can be added to the current stamina by the credit (or payment of the fee) that is the purchased item. ..

  On the other hand, in a normal game, when the current stamina is the recovery upper limit value Smax1 (or when the recovery upper limit value Smax1 is exceeded), the stamina is not recovered over time. Therefore, the player may feel that the state where the stamina is recovered over time and less than the recovery upper limit value is more advantageous than the state where the stamina is not recovered over time and the recovery upper limit value or more is exceeded. However, in the present embodiment, when the current stamina exceeds the recovery upper limit value Smax1 as described above, the value obtained by adding the current value by the credit (or payment of the fee) which is the purchased item Can be added to stamina. As a result, the player does not feel that it is a loss to add stamina by items or the like when the current stamina is at or above the recovery upper limit value. Also, a player who wants to play a large number of games does not pay the fee at one time, but waits for the stamina to fall below the recovery upper limit value, and then pays the fee in pieces. , There is no chance that the gameplay tempo will drop.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the current stamina S0 is equal to or higher than the recovery upper limit value Smax1, the credit recovery means 320 determines, according to the magnitude of the difference between the current stamina S0 and the recovery upper limit value Smax1. The extra amount can be increased.

  Normally, the greater the current stamina S0 exceeds the recovery upper limit value Smax1, the longer the time without stamina recovery. Therefore, as the current stamina S0 exceeds the recovery upper limit value Smax1 as described above, the amount by which the stamina S0 is increased by the credit recovery means 320 is increased, so that the player has the current stamina S0 recovery upper limit. Even when the value Smax1 is greatly exceeded, it does not feel that adding stamina due to items or the like is a loss.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the current stamina S0 is equal to or higher than the recovery upper limit value Smax1, the credit recovery means 320 causes the display means 316 to increase the stamina with a value which is higher than the normal value due to the use of items or the like. Display about adding. As a result, the player can know that it is not a loss to add stamina by using an item or the like when the current stamina S0 is the recovery upper limit value Smax1 or more.

<Modification>
Although a plurality of embodiments of the technology disclosed in the present application have been described above, the technology disclosed in the present application is not limited to the above.

  For example, the credit recovery means 320 recovers the current stamina S0 by using the credits obtained by paying coins, but the current stamina S0 may be recovered at the same time when the coins are paid. That is, the credit recovery means 320 may recover directly by paying a charge without using an indirect game item called credit.

  Further, although the credit recovery means 320 has described the use of credits, it may use game items other than credits, such as herbs and potions, and recovery magic.

  Further, the content of the game program GP is not limited to the above-mentioned new puzzle role playing game, and for example, a simple role playing game, a simple puzzle game, an action game, a fighting game, a shooting game, a gun game, a drive game, It may be a quiz game, a mahjong game, a medal game, a music game, or the like.

  Further, the game action during the game is not limited to the execution of the above-mentioned quest, but may be the execution of a fighting game, the execution of a shooting game, or the like. Further, the game behavior during the game may be plural kinds or only one kind, and consumption stamina may be plural kinds or only one kind.

  Further, what the permitting means 308 subtracts is not limited to the expression “stamina”, and may be an execution allowance value of other expressions such as physical strength, magical power, power, vitality, credits, and HP (hit points). Further, the game action that consumes stamina may include the case where the stamina is consumed by the game action of another player, not depending on the player himself or herself.

  The recovery upper limit value Smax1 and the maximum stamina value Smax2 are not limited to fixed values such as “100” and “200”, and may be variable values according to the skill level of the player and the game situation. For example, when the recovery due to the use of credits is constant at "100", the stamina recovery upper limit Smax1 at level 1 is "20" and the maximum stamina value Smax2 is "120", and stamina recovery at level 99 is achieved. The upper limit value Smax1 is "100" and the maximum stamina value Smax2 is "200". Further, for example, by using a game item obtained by charging, the stamina recovery upper limit value Smax1 may be added for a certain period (for example, one day from the use of the item). In that case, it is desirable to add the maximum stamina value Smax2 by the same amount as the added value of the recovery upper limit value Smax1.

  Further, the degree of recovery Y due to the use of credits is not limited to a fixed value such as “100”, and may be a variable value according to the skill level (level) of the player. For example, the stamina upper limit Smax1 at level 1 is "20", the maximum stamina Smax2 is "40" and the degree of recovery Y is "20", and the stamina upper limit Smax1 at level 99 is "100". ", The maximum value Smax2 of the stamina is" 200 "and the recovery degree Y is" 100 ".

  Although the stamina has been described as having the maximum value Smax2, it may be infinite without the maximum value Smax2.

<Appendix>
[Appendix 1]
When the difference between the maximum value of the execution allowable value and the execution allowable value is less than the degree of recovery, the billing recovery means recovers the execution allowable value by the degree of recovery, and from the degree of recovery the maximum value. And the difference obtained by subtracting the difference between the execution permissible value is left as the game item to be recovered by the difference.
