Description

The present technology particularly relates to a program, a recording medium, an information processing method, and a game device that enable an intuitive understanding of the effect of an object.

Conventionally, there is a so-called trading card game in which a predetermined number of cards are held as a hand and the cards in the hand are put out to each other in a place called a field to perform a battle.

In addition, a program for computer games is also provided that enables such a trading card game to be played using a portable game machine or a stationary game machine. By using a program for a computer game, a user as a player can play a trading card game in a game space without actually preparing a physical card such as by purchasing it at a store.

Hereinafter, the trading card game means a computer game.

By the way, in a trading card game, a character is set for each card. Along with the character's illustration, the card displays text indicating the character's name, text related to the card's abilities such as offensive power and defensive power, and the like.

The user will see the text about the ability and choose which card to put on the field from his hand or where on the field to put it. When a user puts a certain card on the field, an effect is generated according to the ability set for that card, and the battle is advanced by attacking the opponent's character.

Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for displaying the ability of a card in text. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a function of assisting a user in selecting a card by actively displaying a card on which a command can be used.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 11-267360 JP-A-2017-164139

In the technique described in Patent Document 1, a user who does not understand the content of the effect when the card is taken out needs to read and understand the text displayed on each card in order to proceed with the battle. .. Some users give up the game because it takes time to understand the contents of the effect and the game cannot proceed as expected.

Further, the technique described in Patent Document 2 displays which card the command can be used for, and does not display which card the effect of the command extends to. Therefore, it could not be said that sufficient information was provided for card selection.

This technology was made in view of such a situation, and makes it possible to intuitively understand the part where the effect of the object affects.

The program of one aspect of the present technology is a battle type in which an object having an effect generated when an arrangement location is determined is arranged in a predetermined arrangement location formed in a field according to a user's operation. This is a program for advancing the game of the above and executing a process of notifying a portion in the field covered by the effect of the object to be arranged before the arrangement location is determined by the user.

In one aspect of the technique, before the placement location is determined by the user, the portion of the field covered by the effect of the object being placed is notified.

According to the present technology, the user can intuitively understand the part affected by the object.

The content of the effect is a description of the effect according to the ability set for the card. Each card is set with the ability to produce a predetermined effect when the placement location is determined. Since the character is set for the card, the ability set for the card can be said to be the ability set for the character.

The character name is the name of the character.

The numerical value is a numerical value representing the power of the card such as offensive power and defensive power.

A predetermined number of such cards are assigned to each of the user and the opponent.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the field F1.

A card arrangement area 101 is formed at substantially the center of the field F1. The card placement area 101 is an area in which the user places cards in his or her hand. When the user places a predetermined card in the hand in the card placement area 101, the above-mentioned effect occurs and has a predetermined effect on the progress of the game. In the example of FIG. 5, the card arrangement area 101 is composed of five arrangement areas 101-1 to 101-5. Placement areas 101-1 to 101-3 are formed in the front row, and placement areas 101-4, 101-5 are formed in the back row.

A deck area 102 and a drop area 103 are formed on the left side of the card placement area 101, and a damage area 104 is formed on the right side of the card placement area 101.

The deck area 102 is an area in which cards other than the cards assigned to the user that are not added to the hand and the cards that are not put out on the field F1 are stacked and arranged.

In the example of FIG. 7, the ability of "look at two cards from your deck and place them on the deck in any order" is set. This ability has the effect that when the card shown in FIG. 7 is placed in the card placement area 101, the user can check the two cards in the deck, sort them in any order, and return them to the deck. The ability to occur. The part where the effect depends on the ability is the part of the deck area 102 where the deck is located.

When the card shown in FIG. 7 is the target card for determining the placement location, the deck area 102 is highlighted as shown in FIG. The deck itself placed in the deck area 102 is also highlighted. That is, before the location of the card shown in FIG. 7 is determined, the portion where the effect corresponding to the ability of the card is applied is highlighted. In the example of FIG. 8, the card C1 surrounded by a thick line corresponds to the card of FIG. 7.

In FIG. 8, the fact that the deck area 102 is colored indicates that the deck area 102 is highlighted. Highlighting is done, for example, by blinking, changing color, or shining so that it stands out from the rest.

The user sees such a display and decides whether or not to place the card shown in FIG. 7 in the card placement area 101 and where to place the card.

Here, the user can also switch the card to be placed to another card in the hand. For example, on any of the cards C1 to C5, a cursor that can move on the cards C1 to C5 is displayed. The user determines the card to be placed by moving the cursor.

After deciding the card to be placed, the user decides where to place the card to be placed. For example, in the card placement area 101, a cursor that can move on the placement areas 101-1 to 101-5 is displayed. The placement area where the cursor is displayed becomes the placement area of the candidate placement location. The user decides the card placement location by moving the cursor by operating the cross key or performing a decision operation.

By highlighting the deck area 102, the user can intuitively understand that the part where the effect according to the ability is exerted is the deck without checking the text of the card.

As a part where the effect depends on the ability, only the deck in the deck area 102 may be highlighted, or only the deck area 102 may be highlighted excluding the deck. May be good.

・ Notification example 2
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of card abilities.

In the example of FIG. 9, the ability of "select one favorite card from the deck, drop area, and damage area and put it out in the placement area" is set. This ability allows the user to select one of the cards in the deck, drop area, and damage area and place it in the card placement area 101 when the card shown in FIG. 9 is placed in the card placement area 101. It is the ability to produce the effect that can be produced. The part where the effect depends on the ability is the part of the deck area 102, the drop area 103, and the damage area 104.

When the card shown in FIG. 9 is the target card for determining the placement location, the deck area 102, the drop area 103, and the damage area 104 are highlighted as shown in FIG. The cards themselves placed in each area are also highlighted. That is, before deciding where to place the cards shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of parts that have effects according to the abilities of the cards are highlighted. In the example of FIG. 10, the card C1 surrounded by a thick line corresponds to the card of FIG. Similarly, in the following embodiment, the display when the card C1 shown surrounded by the thick line is selected will be described.

In this way, some cards have abilities that affect multiple parts.

・ Example of notification 3
FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of card abilities.

In the example of FIG. 11, the ability of "select one card in the front row of the opponent and leave it" is set. This ability allows the user to select one card placed in the opponent's front row and move (exit) it to, for example, the drop area 103 when the card of FIG. 11 is placed in the card placement area 101. It is the ability to produce the desired effect. The opponent's front row means three arrangement areas in the front row of the opponent's card arrangement area 101.

In this case, the portion where the effect depends on the ability is the placement area where the cards are placed among the three placement areas in the front row of the opponent's card placement area 101.

The card shown in FIG. 11 is the target card for determining the placement location, and as shown in FIG. 12, when the card is placed in two places in the front row of the opponent's card placement area, the placement of the two places is performed. The area is highlighted. That is, before deciding where to place the cards shown in FIG. 11, the portion of the opponent's field that has an effect according to the card's abilities is highlighted.

In this way, some cards have abilities that affect the opponent's field.

If there is no target card in the front row of the opponent's card placement area, it may be notified that there is no card that has an effect according to the ability.

・ Example of notification 4
FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of card abilities.

In the example of FIG. 13, the ability of "increase the numerical value of the cards arranged adjacent to the place where the cards are placed" is set. This ability has the effect that when the card of FIG. 13 is placed in the card placement area 101, the numerical value of the card placed first in the placement area adjacent to the placement area in which the card is placed can be increased. The ability to occur. The part where the effect depends on the ability is the placement area adjacent to the placement area where the card is placed.

When the card shown in FIG. 13 is a card for determining the placement location and the placement area 101-5 is selected by the user as a candidate for the placement location as shown in FIG. 14, the placement area 101-5 The placement area 101-3, which is the placement area where the cards are placed, is highlighted adjacent to. In the example of FIG. 14, the cards are arranged first in the arrangement areas 101-1 and 101-3 in the front row. In FIG. 14, the frame bordering the arrangement area 101-5 represents the cursor used for selecting the arrangement location. The user can select the placement location by moving the cursor.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, when the arrangement area 101-4 is selected by the user as a candidate for the arrangement location by moving the cursor, the card is arranged adjacent to the arrangement area 101-4. The placement area 101-1 which is the placement area is highlighted. That is, as the candidate for the placement location is switched to the placement area 101-4, the portion to which the effect is exerted is also switched to the placement area 101-1.

In this way, some cards have the ability to switch the part where the effect is applied depending on the placement location. Depending on the type of card, the part where the effect is applied may or may not be switched depending on the switching of the candidates for the placement location.

The user can confirm the notification by the highlighting as described above and decide whether or not to actually place the card currently to be placed in the card placement area 101 and where to place it.

For example, when the user switches the card to be placed to another card in the hand, the highlighted part is also switched according to the switched card.

Depending on the type of card, the same ability may be set for the card before switching and the card after switching. In this case, even if the card to be placed is switched, the highlighted part will not be switched. That is, depending on the type of card, the portion to which the effect is applied may or may not be switched depending on the switching of the cards to be arranged.

As described above, various parts are highlighted according to the various abilities set on the card.

Some of the abilities set on the card require a certain cost to produce the effect. For example, using cards in the drop area 103 or damage area 104 is set as a cost, and there are abilities that require the use of these cards instead of producing an effect. When a card with such an ability is set as a placement target, the drop area 103 and the damage area 104 may be highlighted according to the cost.

<Operation of game console>
Here, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 16, the processing of the game machine 1 that notifies the effect that occurs when the card placement location is determined will be described.

The process of FIG. 16 is performed at the timing when the user targets a predetermined card while the game is in progress by the game progress control unit 61.

In step S1, the notification control unit 62 acquires the information of the card to be arranged selected by the user.

In step S2, the notification control unit 62 highlights the portion where the effect corresponding to the ability of the card to be placed is produced based on the information of the card to be placed.

In step S3, the notification control unit 62 determines whether or not the arrangement area to be arranged is determined, and if it is determined that the area is not determined, returns to step S2 and continues highlighting.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S3 that the placement destination is determined, the notification control unit 62 arranges the card to be arranged in the arrangement area selected by the user in step S4 to produce an effect.

By the above processing, the user can intuitively understand the part where the effect depends on the ability of the card to be arranged by confirming the notification by highlighting. Since it is not necessary to read the text displayed on the card, the user can easily understand the content of the effect in a short time.

The game machine 1 side can provide sufficient information used for determining the type of cards to be placed, the card placement location, and the like before the placement location is determined.

<Modification example>
-Example of notification The highlighting may be performed by displaying the image of the arrow pointing to the part where the effect depends on the ability, or the highlighting may be performed by the appearance of a character. May be good. The card to be placed may be highlighted along with the part where the effect depends on the ability.

The notification of the portion having the effect according to the ability may be performed by voice instead of the screen display, or may be performed by vibration of the housing of the game machine 1 or the controller.

-Example of setting The notification function may be turned off. For users who are familiar with the card's capabilities, the above notification function is unnecessary and may be difficult to see due to the highlighting of a part of the field. By making it possible to set the notification function to off, it is possible to prevent the screen display from becoming difficult to see.

-Example of application to other games The above-mentioned notification function can be applied to games other than trading card games. For example, the notification function is applied to a simulation game in which objects are placed and a battle is performed, and a board game such as shogi or Othello.

That is, if the game in which the object placement area is set and the object is placed in the placement area to advance the battle, the notification function can be applied to games of various genres.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of screen display of a simulation game.

8 × 10 (vertical × horizontal) sections are formed in the field of FIG. 17, and each section is set as an object placement area. According to the rules of the simulation game, the user arranges the objects in a predetermined arrangement area and battles with the opponent.

Units U11 to U14, which are white face images, and units U15, which are white cross images, arranged on the left side of FIG. 17 are objects on the user side. On the other hand, the units U21 to U24, which are colored face images, and the units U25, which are colored cross images, arranged on the right side are objects on the opponent side.

In the example of FIG. 17, the unit U1 shown outside the field is an object to be arranged. A predetermined ability is set for each unit. The user moves the cursor C by operating the cross key or the like to determine the arrangement area of the unit U1.

For example, when the cursor C is displayed in the arrangement area 111 shown at the tip of the arrow # 11, the portion affected by the effect when the unit U1 is arranged in the arrangement area 111 is highlighted as shown in FIG. The arrow.

In the example of FIG. 18, the arrangement area 111 and the portions of the arrangement areas adjacent to each other on the top, bottom, left, and right of the arrangement area 111 are highlighted. Further, the unit U12 already arranged is highlighted in the arrangement area on the left side of the arrangement area 111.

As a result, the user can intuitively understand the portion of the effect corresponding to the ability of the unit U1 before determining the arrangement area.

Similarly, when the unit for which the placement location is determined is another unit, the part of the effect corresponding to the ability is highlighted.

For example, when arranging a unit that has the ability to reduce the attack power of an opponent's unit (fear effect), the opponent's unit that is effective as an attack target is highlighted. Also, when a unit that has the ability to increase the attack power (support effect) of an already placed ally unit is placed, the ally unit that the support effect affects is highlighted.

As described above, the above-mentioned notification function can be applied to games of various genres.
