Since the character's job (role, occupation) affects the character's ability, it has a great influence on the progress of the game and is important. However, if the character's job is fixed, the player cannot freely change the job. On the other hand, depending on the situation of the game such as battle, the player may want to change the job of the character.

Therefore, on one side, we provide a game in which the player can freely change the job of the character.

On one side, the job is created based on the parameter value associated with the first item worn by the character by referring to the storage unit that stores the parameter value of each job in association with the first item worn by the character. A game program for causing a computer to execute a determination process and a process of changing a job of the character according to the determination result is provided.

On one side, it provides a game in which the player can freely change the job of the character.

Hereinafter, one embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are designated by the same reference numerals to omit duplicate explanations.

In the present embodiment, the information processing device 10 that executes the compounding game will be taken as an example. A compounding game is a game in which another item is created from one or more material items. Hereinafter, the item used as a material is referred to as a "material item", and another item created from one or a plurality of material items is referred to as a "post-mixed item". Examples of the information processing device 10 include game devices, portable game devices, personal computers, smartphones, mobile terminals, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), and mobile phones. The information processing device 10 may be a wearable display device such as an HMD (Head Mount Display), an FMD (Face Mount Display), or a wristwatch-type computer.

[Functional configuration of information processing device]
An example of the functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The information processing device 10 includes a reception unit 11, a game execution unit 12, a storage unit 13, a control unit 14, a graphic processing unit 16, a sound processing unit 17, a display unit 18, a sound output unit 19, and a communication unit 20.

(Reception department)
The reception unit 11 accepts the player's game operation. For example, the reception unit 11 receives the operation of the operation keys and the direction keys of the controller operated by the player.

(Game execution unit / control unit)
The game execution unit 12 and the control unit 14 execute and control a game process that causes a computer to execute a game process of creating a post-mixed item using material items based on a recipe according to a game program stored in the storage unit 13. The material item is an example of the second item, and the prepared item is an example of the third item.

Further, the game execution unit 12 executes the game according to the control of the control unit 14. The game execution unit 12 executes a motion (movement) of collecting a material item using the equipment item according to the operation of the player, thereby acquiring a specific material item. The equipment item is an item that the player character moves on the field and is equipped when the game is started, or an item that is to be equipped in exchange for another character on the field. The equipment item is an example of the first item worn by the character. An example of the item worn by the character may be a crest, a pattern, a tattoo, or the like. The game to be executed may be a game played independently or a communication game played with another player via a network.

(Memory)
The storage unit 13 stores the character table 131 and the item table 132.
(Character table)
An example of the character table 131 is shown in FIG. The character table 131 stores the ability characteristics of each character. The character table 131 of FIG. 2 stores levels, HP (hit points), offensive power, defensive power, and support (auxiliary) power as ability characteristics for each character. The level stores, for example, the total level of the player character. The HP stores, for example, the remaining physical capacity. Attack power, defense power, and support power are examples of the character's abilities. In the example of FIG. 2, the numerical value of the attack power is the highest among the attack power, the defense power, and the support power. In this case, the player character acts as an attacker. Of the offensive power, the defensive power, and the support power, when the numerical value of the defensive power is the highest, the player character becomes a defensive role, and when the numerical value of the support power is the highest, the player character becomes an auxiliary role such as promoting recovery. However, the ability characteristics of each character are not limited to this, and the mental remaining capacity such as MP (magic point) may be stored.

In this way, the character table 131 sets the abilities of each character appearing in the game. However, if the abilities of each character are fixed, the taste of the game may be lacking. Therefore, the information processing device 10 according to the present embodiment provides a game in which the player can freely change the job (role, occupation, role) of the character.

In the following, regarding the parameter value of each job associated with the equipment item, the attacker is called "attacker", the defender is called "defender", and the auxiliary role is called "supporter". That is, as the job of the present embodiment, the "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" corresponding to the character's abilities (attack power, defense power, support power) will be described. However, the job is not limited to this, and various types of jobs such as a special job such as a magician who uses magic can be given to the character. By changing the job of the character, the ability of each character set in the character table 131 can be drastically changed, and the taste of the game can be enhanced.

(Job type)
Job types include an attacker "attacker", a defender "defender", and an assistant "supporter". When the character's job becomes "attacker", the attack power of the character's base increases, and the damage of the opponent character to the character's attack increases. When the character's job becomes "Defender", the defense power of the character's base increases, "Area Guard" is generated as a special effect, and the damage to the rearguard character can be taken over. Further, the damage of the own character to the attack of the opponent character may be reduced.

When a character's job becomes a "supporter", the character's base speed increases, and additional APs can be acquired when APs (attack points) are acquired. However, the types of jobs are examples and are not limited to these. As another job, a special job having a special effect not found in the above job may be provided.

(Item table)
An example of the item table 132 is shown in FIG. The item table 132 stores the parameter value of each job associated with the equipment item. In the example of FIG. 3, as the parameter value of each job, the parameter value of each job of "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" is stored for each equipment item. The item table 132 is an example of the storage unit 13 that stores the parameter values of each job in association with the first item. As shown in the item table 132, the parameter values for changing the job in association with the equipment item are stored.

(Calculation unit / Judgment unit / Decision unit)
Returning to FIG. 1, the control unit 14 has a calculation unit 4, a determination unit 5, and a determination unit 6. Among the parameter values of "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" stored in the item table 132, the calculation unit 4 is an equipment item possessed by the player character when performing a collection game or a battle game in the field. The total value of each parameter value of the associated job (attacker, defender, supporter) is calculated for each job. For example, when there are two equipment items possessed by the player character, the calculation unit 4 calculates the total value of each parameter value of the two equipment items "attacker", "defender", and "supporter".

The determination unit 5 refers to the item table 132 and determines the job based on the parameter value associated with the equipment item possessed by the player character or the total value thereof. The job of the character is judged from the magnitude relation of each parameter value of "attacker", "defender", and "supporter". This allows the player to change the job of the player character.

For example, when the attacker parameter value is "5", the defender parameter value is "2", and the supporter parameter value is "3" among the three parameter values, the player character's job can be an attacker. For example, when the parameter value of the defender is "5", the parameter value of the attacker is "2", and the parameter value of the supporter is "3", the job of the player character can be made a defender.

However, when the parameter value of the attacker is "5" and the parameter value of the defender is "5", the calculation unit 4 calculates the parameter value after the two parameter values cancel each other out. For example, if the attacker's parameter value is "5", the defender's parameter value is "5", and the supporter's parameter value is "0", the attacker's parameter value is "5" and the defender's parameter value is "5". Cancel each other and become "0". As a result, the player character's job cannot be an attacker or defender.

As described above, in the job determination game process according to the present embodiment, the player manages the parameter value of each job of the equipment item so that one of the parameter values is specialized in consideration of the balance of each parameter value. This is very important. As a result, the job of the character can be changed to a role different from the ability characteristic of each character set in the character table 131. That is, the player can freely change the job of the player character, give a degree of freedom to assign the job, and enhance the taste of the player.

When the player makes the player character possess a predetermined equipment item, at least one of the parameter values is increased during the game, and the job is judged by the balance of the parameter values. Then, the determination unit 6 changes the job of the player character according to the result of the determination. In addition, the balance of the three parameter values may cause the jobs to cancel each other out, making it impossible to change the job.

Also, when creating a post-mixed item from a material item, if you create a post-blended item that functions as an equipment item well, you can create an item with a high attacker parameter value even with the same equipment item, or an item with a high defender parameter value. Can be created. Therefore, when creating a post-mixing item, the player changes the job of the player character by recreating a good equipment item, deciding which one to equip the player character with, and changing the equipment item to bring to the field. You can change the job of the player character in the battle.

Based on the character table 131, when the character's job is an attacker, the attack power can be further increased by making the parameter value of the attacker of the equipment item higher than the parameter value of the defender and the supporter. Also, based on the character table 131, when the character's job is an attacker, the defender's parameter value is set higher than the attacker's and supporter's parameter values, so that the player character with strong attack power is intentionally changed to the defender. With, you can change the direction of the game strategy to the player's favorite direction.

The first item worn by the character may be equipment that affects the parameters (HP, attack power, defense power) used during battle, such as armor, weapons, and accessories, as well as emblems, patterns, and tattoos. It may be. Equipment items are removable at any time. However, there is a limit to the number of equipment items you can bring to the field. Therefore, you may change the character's job by trading equipment items with other characters on the field. For example, if the supporter determines that the game effect has not been obtained, the equipment item can be traded and the job can be changed on the spot even during the battle, such as switching jobs. ..

As described above, in the game processing according to the present embodiment, the character job is determined by the balance of the total value of the parameter values associated with the possessed one or a plurality of equipment items. Based on the balance of the three parameter values, if the attacker's parameter value is the largest, the player character's job becomes an attacker. In addition, if the total value of the parameter values is 10 or more, the job level (rank) may be raised by one. For example, when the total value of the parameter values of each job becomes 10 or more, the level 1 attacker may become a level 2 attacker (high attacker). For example, when the total parameter value of each job is 10 or more, the job goes up from the bottom to the top level, and when the total parameter value of each job is 20 or more, the job goes up from the top to the top level. You may do so.

The job may be changed when the parameter value exceeds a predetermined value. For example, the job may be changed to a job in which the maximum value of the parameter value is "5" or more. In this case, the job is not changed when the maximum value of the parameter value is "4" or less. Further, the maximum value of the parameter value of each job may be set to "10". In this case, the three jobs can have parameter values up to the maximum value "30".

The number of jobs to be set may be 12, or may be any other number. Examples of jobs include attackers, high attackers, defenders, high defenders, supporters, and high supporters. There may also be compound jobs. In the case of a compound job, even if the parameter values of each job are the same, they do not cancel each other out. Further, in the case of a compound job, the job may be changed to a job with a parameter value other than the minimum value. For example, if the attacker parameter value is "5", the defender parameter value is "5", and the supporter parameter value is "0", the player character job is changed to have two jobs, attacker and defender. May be good. Further, for example, in the case of a compound job, when the parameter value of the attacker is "5", the parameter value of the defender is "3", and the parameter value of the supporter is "4", the job of the player character is two jobs of the attacker and the supporter. May be changed to have. In this case, the job may be changed based on the job "attacker" having the maximum parameter value and as a character having the role of "supporter" having the next largest parameter value. In other words, in order to change to a compound job that plays the role of an attacker with support performance, it is necessary to control the parameter value so that the parameter value of the attacker has the largest value and the parameter value of the supporter has the second largest value. There is. At this time, the parameter value of the defender is not reflected in the job.

As described above, the character property of the compound job can have a very biased role depending on the balance of the parameter values of each job, which makes the place of activity in the game clear. In particular, at the end of the game, there are many scenes in which a character having such a biased role can play an active role. In this case, a character having a biased role may lead the game to victory, and the taste of the game can be enhanced by changing the job according to the present embodiment. In addition, when creating (blending) equipment items corresponding to jobs with biased properties, the blending policy becomes clear for the player, and the blending work becomes easier. With such a formulation, the characteristics of the equipment item can be exhibited by changing the job of the character to extend the advantages of the character, and the game can be made more interesting.

The display unit 18 displays a game image, a menu screen, and the like. Further, the display unit 18 displays the ability characteristics of the character, the parameter values of the jobs corresponding to the equipment items possessed, the total values of the parameter values of each job, and the jobs of the determined characters.

The graphic processing unit 16 is connected to the display unit 18, and when a drawing command is output from the game execution unit 12 and the control unit 14, a video signal is output to the display unit 18. As a result, the display unit 18 displays the image of the game as the game progresses.

The sound processing unit 17 is connected to the sound output unit 19, and when a sound output instruction command is output from the game execution unit 12 and the control unit 14, the sound signal is output to the sound output unit 19. As a result, the sound output unit 19 outputs voice and sound according to the progress of the game.

The communication unit 20 communicates with another device. For example, when at least one of the character table 131 and the item table 132 is stored in the storage device on the cloud, the communication unit 20 receives necessary information from the storage device on the cloud.

Note that FIG. 1 draws a block diagram focusing on functions, and each part shown by these functional blocks can be realized by the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 shown in FIG.

[Hardware configuration of information processing device]
Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The information processing device 10 according to the present embodiment includes a CPU 21, a ROM 22, a RAM 23, and an HDD 24. Further, the information processing device 10 has a graphic card 25, an external I / F26, a communication I / F27, an input I / F28, a display 29, and a speaker 30. Each part is connected to each other by a bus.

The ROM 22 is a non-volatile semiconductor memory capable of holding internal data even when the power is turned off. The RAM 23 is a volatile semiconductor memory that temporarily holds programs and data. A game program and various data are stored in the ROM 22 and the RAM 23.

The HDD 24 is a non-volatile storage device. The HDD 24 may store a basic processing program, a game program, various data, a character table 131, and an item table 132. The CPU 21 reads, for example, a basic processing program, a game program, and various data from the HDD 24 and reads them into the RAM 23.

By executing various processes based on the basic process program and the game program, the CPU 21 executes the entire control of the information processing device 10 and the processes related to the compounding game.

The external I / F 26 is an interface for connecting the information processing device 10 to the external device. The external device includes a recording medium 26a and the like. As a result, the information processing device 10 can read and write the recording medium 26a via the external I / F 26. Examples of the recording medium 26a include a CD (Compact Disk), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), an SD memory card (SD Memory card), and a USB memory (Universal Serial Bus memory).

For example, the information processing device 10 can be equipped with a recording medium 26a in which a game program or the like is stored. Also in this case, the CPU 21 reads the game program or the like into the external I / F 26, reads it into the RAM 23, and executes the process including the compounding game based on the game program.

When executing the game program, the CPU 21 instructs the graphic card 25 to output an image according to the progress of the compounding game. The graphic card 25 performs image processing of the game to be displayed on the screen according to the instruction from the CPU 21, and outputs the game image to the display 29. The graphic card 25 draws one image in frame units, and draws an image of a frame 30 to 60 times per second. Further, the CPU 21 instructs the speaker 30 to output a sound according to the progress of the blending game. The speaker 30 outputs a sound according to an instruction from the CPU 21, for example, a sound such as a character's voice, a sound effect, or a narration.

The communication I / F 27 is an interface for connecting the information processing device 10 to the network. The communication I / F 27 communicates with another device via a communication unit having an antenna.

The input I / F 28 is an interface for connecting to an input device such as a controller 40. The controller 40 has operation buttons and direction keys. The player operates the game by using the operation buttons and direction keys of the controller 40. The input I / F 28 stores the input information based on the input operation in the RAM 23. When the player operates the controller 40 to instruct the start of the game, the input I / F 28 starts the game process by inputting the instruction information. The information processing device 10 may be equipped with a touch panel that enables input according to a touch operation on the screen.

The CPU 21 executes various arithmetic processes in the game based on the game program and data stored in the RAM 23. Then, at a predetermined timing, the input I / F 28 stores the game data stored in the RAM 23 in the memory card 28a according to the instruction from the CPU 21. Further, when the input I / F 28 restarts the game, the input I / F 28 reads the data of the compounding game stored in the memory card 28a, transfers the data to the RAM 23, and stores the data in the RAM 23.

The function of the reception unit 11 in FIG. 1 is realized by, for example, an input I / F28 or a touch panel. The function of the storage unit 13 is realized by a server on the cloud connected to the information processing device 10 via the ROM 22, RAM 23, HDD 24, or a network. The functions of the game execution unit 12 and the control unit 14 are realized by, for example, a game program causing the CPU 21 to execute graphic processing.

The function of the graphic processing unit 16 is realized by, for example, a graphic card 25. The function of the display unit 18 is realized by, for example, the display 29. The functions of the sound processing unit 17 and the sound output unit 19 are realized by, for example, the speaker 30. The function of the communication unit 20 is realized by, for example, the communication I / F 27.

[Game processing]
Next, an example of the game process of job determination in the compounding game according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a game process of job determination according to one embodiment. FIG. 6 is an example of a game screen for job determination according to an embodiment. This process may be performed at the start of the game or during the execution of the game.

When this process is started, in step S1, the reception unit 11 determines whether or not there is an equipment item possessed by the player character. When the reception unit 11 determines that there is no equipment item possessed by the player character, the reception unit 11 ends this process. On the other hand, when the reception unit 11 determines that there is an equipment item possessed by the player character, the calculation unit 4 calculates the total of the attacker's parameter values among the jobs of the equipment item in step S3. However, if there is only one equipment item in possession, steps S3, S5, and S7 are skipped, and the process proceeds to step S9.

Next, in step S5, the calculation unit 4 calculates the total of the parameter values of the defenders of the equipment items. Next, in step S7, the calculation unit 4 calculates the total of the parameter values of the supporters of the equipment items.

For example, in the example of the game screen of FIG. 6, as the ability characteristic 101 of the player character (hereinafter referred to as "character A"), the level, HP, attack power, defense power, and support power of the character A are 21, 87, respectively. , 59, 37, 32 are displayed.

In addition, the parameter value for each job associated with the equipment item of the character A is displayed. In the example of FIG. 6, the icon 102 of the “cane” is displayed as the equipment item, and the parameter value 103 for each job corresponding to the equipment item “cane” is displayed. Specifically, the parameter values 103 of the three jobs "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" associated with the equipment item "cane" are displayed as "2", "0", and "0". ing.

Further, on the game screen of FIG. 6, the total value 104 of each parameter value of the three jobs "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" associated with the equipment item "cane" is displayed. The total value 104 of each parameter value of "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" is "2", "1", and "0". That is, there are two equipment items of character A, one equipment item is a "cane", and the parameter values 103 of the jobs "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" associated with the other equipment item are , "0", "1", "0". As a result, the total value 104 of each parameter value of "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" is "2", "1", and "0".

Next, in step S9 of FIG. 5, if the parameter values of the jobs have the same value, the calculation unit 4 calculates the parameter value after cancellation. In the example of FIG. 6, since the total value of the parameter values is “2”, “1”, and “0”, the parameter values of the job are not canceled. For example, if the total value of the parameter values of "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" is "5", "5", and "0", the values of "attacker" and "defender" are the same. The cancellation occurs, and the total value of the parameter values of the "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" of the job after the cancellation is calculated as "0", "0", and "0".

Next, in step S11 of FIG. 5, the determination unit 5 determines the job having the maximum total value of the parameter values. When the determination unit 5 determines that the job having the largest total parameter value is the "attacker", the determination unit 6 determines the job as an attacker in step S13. Next, in step S15, the determination unit 6 changes the character's job to an attacker and ends this process. If the character's job is an attacker in the first place, the determination unit 6 changes the content of the job so as to strengthen the attacker's ability.

If it is determined in step S11 that the job having the largest total parameter value is the "defender", the determination unit 6 determines the job as the defender in step S17. Next, in step S15, the determination unit 6 changes the job of the character to a defender and ends this process. If the character's job is a defender in the first place, the determination unit 6 changes the content of the job so as to strengthen the ability of the defender.

If it is determined in step S11 that the job having the largest total parameter value is the "supporter", in step S19, the determination unit 6 determines the job as a supporter. Next, in step S15, the determination unit 6 changes the character's job to a supporter and ends this process. If the character's job is a supporter in the first place, the determination unit 6 changes the content of the job so as to strengthen the ability of the supporter.

As a result, as shown in the game screen of FIG. 6, the current job 105 of the character A is the "attacker" having the maximum total parameter value 104, and is "attacker" above the total parameter value 104 of each job. "Attacker" is displayed.

As described above, according to the game processing method according to the present embodiment, the character is attached by referring to the storage unit that stores the parameter value of each job in association with the first item attached by the character. It has a process of determining a job based on a parameter value associated with the first item to be performed, and a process of changing the job of the character according to the result of the determination. This makes it possible to provide a game in which the player can freely change the job of the character.

The method for calculating the parameter values and their total values used for determining the job according to the present embodiment is not limited to this, and various methods can be used. For example, even if the maximum values of the parameter values of each job are the same, the total value of the parameter values may be calculated without canceling.

Further, for example, when the total parameter value of each job is 20 or more and the parameter values of all jobs are the same, a job other than an attacker, a defender, and a supporter may be given to the character. For example, if the parameter values of "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" are all 7, a special job may be given to the character. Further, when the total value of the parameter values of each job is 30 or more and the parameter values of all jobs are the same, the ability of all jobs may be given to the character. For example, if the parameter values of "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" are all 10, the abilities of all the jobs of "attacker", "defender", and "supporter" may be given to the character.

Although the game program, the game processing method, and the information processing device have been described above by the above-described embodiment, the game program, the game processing method, and the information processing device according to the present disclosure are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the present disclosure. Various modifications and improvements are possible within the range. Further, when a plurality of the above-described embodiments and modifications exist, they can be combined within a consistent range.

For example, in the above, the job change of the player character has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the job of a character other than the player character may be changed.

Further, in the above embodiment, a blending game in which a post-blending item is created by using a material item based on a recipe has been described, but the present invention is not limited to the blending game and can be applied to all games in which a job can be selected. ..
