[1. Game description]
Hereinafter, an outline of a game suitable for applying the present invention will be described. The outline of the game will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8 by using a screen displayed on a liquid crystal display panel equipped with a touch panel on a game device described later.

The game of the present embodiment is mainly related to a baseball game, and has a training part for training characters and a battle part for fighting using the characters trained in the training part. In the present embodiment, a pitcher or a fielder (including a catcher) is trained in the training part, and in the battle part, a baseball team including the pitcher and the fielder trained in the training part plays a match with another team.

The training part will be described in detail below. In the training part, the main character to be trained belongs to the high school baseball club, and the main character is trained as a pitcher or fielder through practice and events. In the training part of this embodiment, a plurality of scenarios are prepared, and the high school to be enrolled differs depending on the scenario. A scenario is a game story that develops as the game progresses. In the game of the present embodiment, the high school to which the main character goes to school is determined by the user selecting one of the scenarios.

When the scenario is selected, the user first determines the basic information of the main character. As basic information, the name of the main character, the position of the main character, the dominant arm of the main character, the batting form of the main character, and the throwing form when the main character is a pitcher are further determined. The position of the main character is selected from pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, and outfielder. Hereinafter, positions other than pitchers will be described as fielders. For the dominant arm of the main character, select right-handed or left-handed, and select either right-handed, left-handed, or double-handed (switch hitter). In the batting form of the main character, the user selects from multiple types such as standard and open stance. In the throwing form, the user selects from a plurality of types such as over-throw, three-quarter, side-throw, and under-throw. Further, when determining the basic information of the main character, the preset basic information may be displayed on the screen first, and the user may change the basic information.

Once the basic information of the main character is determined, the event deck is set next. The event deck is a deck for setting an event character to be a teammate who practices together in a high school where the main character goes to school. The event character is a character that affects the development of the main character (having an advantageous effect for the user) by generating an event in the process of developing the main character, and the user has an event from among the event characters possessed by the user. Select the event character to be set in the deck. The event character can be obtained by winning reward in the battle mode or by lottery. In addition, the user can raise the level of the event character in advance before starting the scenario in the training part. The higher the level of the event character, the higher the increase in the ability of the main character due to practice and the initial evaluation of the main character, so that the scenario can be advanced advantageously.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the display screen G100 of the event deck. When setting the event deck, the display screen G100 shown in FIG. 1 is displayed. The deck name is displayed in the display area A110. The user can register the combination of event characters in the event deck in advance before starting the scenario in the training part. The change button B1101 is a button for changing the deck name.

The selected event character is displayed in the display area A112. Up to 6 event characters can be set in the event deck. The event character is selected from the event characters possessed by the user, but an event character partially possessed by another user can be selected. For example, depending on the type of scenario, the event character necessary for advancing the scenario in an advantageous manner may not be possessed. Even in such a case, if the event character possessed by another user can be selected, the user can proceed advantageously in that scenario, and the user can enjoy the game in that scenario as well.

The rarity of each event character is displayed in the display area A111. Rarity represents the difficulty of obtaining, and the types of rarity include "normal (N)", "powerful normal (PN)", "rare (R)", "powerful rare (PR)", and so on. There are 6 types, "Super Rare (SR)" and "Powerful Super Rare (PSR)". The rarity increases in the order of N, PN, R, PR, SR, and PSR, and the higher the rarity, the greater the benefit of training the main character, such as when an event occurs. Further, the level of the event character is displayed in the display area A113.

In addition, each event character may be associated with a good practice, and if the main character practices with the event character in the good practice of the event character while satisfying the predetermined conditions, many experience points will be obtained. Can be obtained.

In the display area A114, a list of special exercises of the event character is displayed, and the types of exercises are "batting", "muscle strength", "running base", "shoulder strength", "ball speed", "control", and "stamina". , "Change ball", "Defense", "Mental". When an event character is set in the event deck, a multiple of the event character, which is a good practice, is displayed in the display area A115. In the example shown in FIG. 1, there is one event character who is good at striking, two event characters who are good at muscular strength, one event character who is good at running base, and one who is good at shoulder strength. It shows that one event character is set and one event character is set to practice mentally. In addition, there may be two or more types of good practice of the event character, and when an event character having two or more types of good practice is set in the event deck, the total number displayed in the display area A115 is correspondingly larger. Become.

When the setting of the event character in the event deck is completed as described above, the game item is selected next. Game items can be obtained by winning rewards in battle mode or by lottery, and the user can use up to two game items in the training part. The types of game items include items for increasing the event occurrence rate, items for recovering physical strength, and items for decreasing the occurrence rate of injuries. In the present embodiment, the game item includes an automatic allocation permission item for enabling the automatic allocation process of experience points, which will be described later.

When the selection of the game item is completed as described above, the scenario is started. Here, before explaining the contents of the scenario, the ability of the hero character to be trained will be described. FIG. 2 shows an example of the ability list screen G200 when the main character is trained as a fielder. The main character is displayed in the display area A210. The appearance of the main character is determined when the basic information of the main character is determined, but can be changed after the main character is trained.

The name of the main character is displayed in the display area A211. The name of the hero character is determined when determining the basic information of the hero character, but can be changed after the hero character is trained.

The position of the main character is displayed in the display area A214, and is determined when the basic information of the main character is determined. In addition, it is also possible to train the main character so that it can be defended in a plurality of positions, and in that case, a plurality of positions can be displayed.

In the display areas A215 to A221, the basic ability as a fielder is displayed. The basic abilities displayed in the display areas A216 to A221 are displayed in eight evaluation ranks of S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, and when the ability value is 90 or more, S, A for 80-89, B for 70-79, C for 60-69, D for 50-59, E for 40-49, F for 20-39, 19 or less In the case of, it becomes G.

Information on the basic ability "ballistic" is displayed in the display area A215, and the evaluation rank is represented by a numerical value of 1 to 4. The higher the number, the higher the trajectory of the hit ball, and the easier it is to hit a home run. Information on the basic ability "meat" is displayed in the display area A216, and the higher the ability of "meat", the easier it is to hit the bat against the ball and the easier it is to hit. Information on the basic ability "power" is displayed in the display area A217, and the higher the "power" ability, the easier it is to hit a long hit. Information on the basic ability "running ability" is displayed in the display area A218, and the higher the ability of "running ability", the faster the base running and the easier it is for infield hits. Information on the basic ability "shoulder strength" is displayed in the display area A219, and the higher the "shoulder strength" ability, the faster the ball can be thrown in defense. Information on the basic ability "defensive power" is displayed in the display area A220, and the higher the "defensive power" ability, the wider the defensive range. Information on the basic ability "catch" is displayed in the display area A221, and the higher the "catch" ability, the easier it is to catch the ball well in defense and the less likely it is that an error will occur.

In the display area A222, a list of the notation A2221 indicating that it is a fielder ability and the name A2222 of the special ability held by the main character is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the main character has five types of special abilities: "infield hitter", "pinch hitter", "in-course", "throwing ball", and "stable tone". In other words, the main character is easy to hit infield, the ability value increases when he appears as a substitute hitter, he is good at "in-course" when hitting, the direction of throwing is accurate when defending, and the condition is stable. It is shown that.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the ability list screen G200 when the main character is trained as a pitcher. The description of the contents overlapping with the case of the fielder shown in FIG. 2 will be omitted. In the case of a pitcher, "1", which is the position number of the main character, is displayed in the display area A212.

The throwing form and dominant arm of the main character are displayed in the display area A310, and are determined when the basic information of the main character is determined. "Pitcher" is displayed in the display area A311.

In the display areas A312 to A314, the basic ability as a pitcher is displayed. In the display area A312, information on the basic ability "ball speed" is displayed, and the maximum ball speed when a straight ball is thrown is displayed. Further, the basic abilities displayed in the display areas A313 and A314 are displayed in eight evaluation ranks of S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G as in the case of the fielder, and the ability value is 90. S for the above cases, A for 80-89, B for 70-79, C for 60-69, D for 50-59, E for 40-49, 20-39. If it is F, it is G if it is 19 or less.

Information on the basic ability "control" is displayed in the display area A313, and the higher the "control" ability, the less likely it is that a loss will occur, and the easier it is to pitch to the target course. Information on the basic ability "stamina" is displayed in the display area A314, and the higher the "stamina" ability, the less tired it becomes, and the less likely it is that the ability decreases in the latter half of the game.

In the display area A315, the type and amount of change of the changing ball acquired by the main character are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the main character can throw a "slider" and a "fork" in addition to a straight (straight ball), and shows that the amount of change when throwing a changing ball is medium.

In the display area A316, a list of the notation A3161 indicating that it is a pitcher ability and the name A3162 of the special ability held by the main character is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the main character has four types of special abilities: "heavy ball", "strikeout", "guts", and "strikeout strength". In other words, the main character throws a heavy ball, easily steals a strikeout from the batter, can throw it out with guts even when tired, and is hard to be upset even if hit.

Next, the details of the contents of the scenario will be described. As described above, a plurality of scenarios are prepared in the training part, but here, the contents common to these scenarios will be explained. Each scenario is composed of four sections, each of the first to third sections is composed of 12 turns, and only the fourth section is composed of 15 turns. The user can select the practice content or rest the main character every turn. In addition, since the high school baseball qualifying and the high school baseball game at Koshien are included from the middle of the fourth section, if the game is lost and lost in the middle, the fourth section is forcibly ended. In addition, a match may occur in a section other than the fourth section (third section), or a match may occur in which the section (training part) does not end even if the player loses.

In each turn of each section, multiple teammates appear in addition to the main character, which greatly affects the training effect of the main character. Teammates include event characters set in the event deck, event characters specific to the scenario, and other default characters (non-event characters). It is also possible to set the same character as the event character, which is unique to the scenario and is predetermined, in the event deck.

In addition, morning events and afternoon events may occur with one turn in between, and the events that occur include scenario-specific scenario events, event character events by event characters set in the event deck, and scenario-specific events. There is an event character event with a predetermined event character. In a scenario-specific scenario event, a predetermined event character that is unique to the scenario mainly appears. Whether the event occurs in the morning or in the afternoon is determined in advance by the content of the scenario event and the event character, and the occurrence condition of each event occurs when the event is won in the event occurrence lottery. When these events occur, the hero character is given a training effect according to the events that have occurred.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the main screen G400 for each turn. The current section and the current turn (the number of remaining turns in the current section) are displayed in the display area A401. The display area A402 displays the grade, month, and week of the main character in the current section and turn. In the display area A414, an icon indicating the motivation parameter of the main character is displayed. The type of icon is switched in multiple stages according to the motivation parameter of the main character, and changes as an event occurs. Further, when the menu button B403 is operated, the menu screen is displayed, and the user can confirm the setting or interrupt the scenario.

In the display area A404, the current physical strength gauge of the main character is displayed. When practice is selected in that turn, the physical strength gauge decreases, and when resting or dating, the physical strength gauge increases. In the display area 405, the name of the main character and the evaluation rank of the current basic ability are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 4, since the main character is trained as a fielder, the current evaluation ranks of "ballistic", "meet", "power", "running ability", "shoulder strength", and "defensive ability" described above are given. Is displayed. When the main character is trained as a pitcher, "ball speed", "control", "stamina", and "type and amount of change" are displayed.

In each turn, the user can select what to do in that turn from a plurality of options P407, P408, P411-P413. If the "ability up" option P410 is selected, the turn is not digested by it. In addition, the content of option P409 differs depending on the type of scenario, and there are those that digest the turn and those that do not. Next, the contents of each option will be described.

If the "rest" option P407 is selected, the player does not practice on that turn and rests to recover his physical strength. The amount of recovery of physical strength is determined by lottery. When the option P408 of "practice" is selected, the transition to the practice screen G500 of FIG. 5 described later is further performed, and the user further selects one from several types of practice contents. The details of the practice content will be described later. Option P409 is a scenario-specific option, and the content differs depending on the selected scenario.

When the "ability up" option P410 is selected, the ability of the main character can be increased. That is, when increasing the ability value of the basic ability of the main character or acquiring a special ability, this option P410 is selected to increase the ability of the main character. Details will be described later, but the experience points acquired and accumulated by the main character according to the progress of the game such as practice and events are consumed to raise the ability value of basic abilities and acquire special abilities. Becomes possible.

When the "outpatient" option P411 is selected, the illness of the main character is cured with a predetermined probability. When the "play" option P412 is selected, the physical strength of the main character is restored, and the motivation parameter of the main character is increased by one step with high probability. When the "date" option P413 is selected, the physical strength of the main character is restored.

Next, a case where the “practice” option P408 is selected on the main screen G400 shown in FIG. 4 will be described. When the "practice" option P408 is selected, the screen transitions to the practice screen G500 shown in FIG. FIG. 5 shows an example of the practice screen G500. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the screen in which the practice of training "muscle strength" is tentatively selected by the arrow P510 is shown. In the display area A501, among the experience points acquired and accumulated by the main character according to the progress of the game, the experience points that have not been consumed are displayed. Experience points are points spent to improve the abilities of the main character. There are five types of experience points: "muscle strength", "agility", "skill", "change ball", and "spirit", and the types and values of experience points obtained differ depending on the practice content. As shown in FIG. 5, when the practice of "muscle strength" is selected, the experience points of "muscle strength" and the experience points of "spirit" are obtained. Further, in the display area A502, the amount of increase in experience points when the practice is selected is displayed, and the user can select the practice content while referring to the amount of increase in experience points.

In the display area A505, teammates who participate in the practice together are displayed. The teammates who participate together include the above-mentioned scenario-specific event characters, event characters set in the event deck, other default characters, teammates randomly selected from scouts and managers, and the like. The more teammates you participate in, the more experience points you will get. In the display area A506, the name of the teammate and the evaluation value for the main character are displayed by a gauge. The evaluation value for the main character can be increased by an event involving the teammate or by practicing with the teammate. The higher the evaluation value for the main character, the more tips for special abilities will be acquired and the greater the increase in experience points. If you acquire the knack of special ability, the experience points required to acquire the special ability will decrease.

In the display area A507, the good practice associated with the teammate is displayed. If the practice selected in the end matches the practice that you are good at, you will be given beneficial benefits for the development of the main character, such as gaining more experience points. Note that good practice is displayed only for event characters set in the event deck, and is not displayed for scenario-specific event characters (excluding those set in the event deck) and other default characters. In addition, it is possible to practice with up to 5 teammates, and the combination of teammates corresponding to each practice (content) is drawn every turn.

Furthermore, if the selected practice and the favorite practice match among the teammates who practice together and there is an event character whose evaluation for the main character is equal to or higher than the predetermined value, when that practice is selected, a special A special practice called tag practice is performed. With special tag practice, you can gain more experience points than usual.

In the display area A508, the injury rate when the practice is selected is displayed. The injury rate increases as the current physical strength decreases, and the user can operate the return button B504 with reference to the injury rate, return to the main screen G400 of FIG. 4, and select "rest" or the like again. The higher the injury rate, the easier it is for the main character to get injured when the practice is performed. If you get injured, you will not be able to gain experience points even if you practice.

In options P511 to P516, different practice contents can be selected, and for example, the user presses any of options P511 to P516 with a finger or the like to execute the practice. In addition, before the user finally selects one of the options P511 to P516, the user selects each practice by sliding the arrow P510 in the horizontal direction, and the amount of increase in experience points and the practice together. You can check the teammates to do. Further, options P511 to P516 indicate the level of each practice. Choosing the same exercise multiple times will increase your level, and the higher the exercise level, the more experience points you will get.

When the "hit" option P511 is selected, the experience points required to raise "meat", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "muscle strength", "technique", and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 can be obtained. When the option P512 of "muscle strength" is selected, the experience points of "muscle strength" and "mental" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained.

When the "running base" option P513 is selected, the experience points required to increase the "running ability", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "muscle strength" and "agility" displayed in the display area A501 can be obtained. When the “shoulder strength” option P514 is selected, the experience points required to increase the “shoulder strength”, which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "muscle strength", "agility" and "technology" displayed in the display area A501 can be obtained.

When the "defensive" option P515 is selected, the experience points required to increase the "defensive power", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, experience points of "agility", "technology" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 can be obtained. When the "mental" option P516 is selected, the physical strength of the main character is restored, and the experience points of "technology" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained.

The example shown in FIG. 5 is an example in which the main character is trained as a fielder, and when the main character is trained as a pitcher, the practice contents of options P511 to P516 are "ball speed" and "control", respectively. , "Stamina", "Change Ball", "Defense", "Mental". The types of experience points are the same as when training the main character as a fielder. Similarly, when the main character is trained as a pitcher, the types and values of experience points obtained differ depending on the practice content. For example, if you choose to practice "control", you will get experience points for "technique" and "spirit".

When the "ball speed" option is selected, the experience points required to increase the "ball speed", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "muscle strength", "technique", and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 can be obtained. When the "Control" option is selected, the experience points required to raise "Control", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "technology" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 can be obtained.

When the "stamina" option is selected, the experience points required to increase "stamina", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "muscle strength" and "mental" displayed in the display area A501 can be obtained. When the "changing ball" option is selected, the experience points required to increase the type and amount of change of the "changing ball", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "technology", "changing sphere", and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 can be obtained.

When the "defensive" option is selected, experience points for "agility," "technique," and "spirit" displayed in display area A501 are obtained. When the "mental" option is selected, the physical strength of the main character is restored, and the experience points of "technology" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained.

Next, a case where the option P410 of "capacity up" is selected on the main screen G400 shown in FIG. 4 will be described. When the option P410 of "capacity up" is selected, the transition to the setting screen G600 shown in FIG. 6 is performed.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the setting screen G600 for increasing the ability value of the basic ability of the main character trained as a fielder. FIG. 6 shows a setting screen G600 in an initial state when transitioning from the main screen G400. The initial state is a state in which an increase in the ability of the main character (increasing the ability value of the basic ability or acquiring a special ability) is confirmed before the present time in the scenario. In the display area A601, the evaluation rank and ability value of each basic ability in the initial state are displayed. Further, in the display area A602, the evaluation rank and the ability value of each basic ability in the state where the experience points are assigned are displayed. The selection button B611 is a button for transitioning to a setting screen for increasing the ability value of the basic ability, and in the example of FIG. 6, the selection button B611 is operated. When the selection button B612 is operated, the screen transitions to the setting screen G800 for acquiring the special ability as shown in FIG.

In the display area A603, among the experience points currently accumulated, the experience points that are not used for allocation are displayed. By allocating the experience points displayed in the display area A603 to the basic ability and the special ability, the ability value of the basic ability of the main character can be increased or the special ability can be acquired. Allocating experience points means associating the experience points required to improve the ability with the abilities that compose the basic ability and the special ability once or multiple times. The allocated experience points are treated as used and are subtracted from the experience points displayed in the display area A603. Use means to temporarily consume the product until the allocation is finalized, as will be described later. In this way, the experience points that can be used at the present time are displayed in the display area A603.

In the display area A604, a list of basic abilities is displayed, and the experience points required to increase the ability value of each basic ability by 1 are displayed. In this way, the experience points required to raise the ability value of the basic ability are determined for each type of experience point for each basic ability, so that the method of allocating the experience point becomes diverse. Button B613 is displayed corresponding to each basic ability, and by operating the button B613, the ability value of the corresponding basic ability can be increased by using the experience points. For example, if the "meat" button B613 is operated once in the initial state of FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 7, the experience points ("muscle strength" 1, "technique") required to increase the ability value of "meat" by 1. 6. The "spirit" 4) is used to increase the ability value of "meat" by 1, and the display of the display area A602 and the display area A603 is updated to reflect this. Depending on the number of operations of button B613, the ability value of the corresponding basic ability can be increased stepwise. In this way, by allocating the experience points to the basic abilities arbitrarily selected by the user on the setting screen G600, the manual allocation process for increasing the ability value of the basic abilities becomes possible.

In addition, in the display area A604, the basic ability that cannot raise the ability value because the experience points displayed in the display area A603 (experience points that can be used at the present time) are insufficient, or the ability value has already reached the upper limit. As for the basic abilities that are being used, for example, they are grayed out because it is impossible to allocate experience points. For example, in the initial state of FIG. 6, the basic ability “running ability” is grayed out because the experience points of “agility” required to raise the ability value of the basic ability “running ability” are insufficient.

Further, by operating the Omakase button B617, the automatic allocation process is executed. Although the details will be described later, in the automatic allocation process, the ability value of the basic ability is increased or the special ability is acquired by allocating the experience points to the basic ability or the special ability selected according to a predetermined rule. In the present embodiment, the automatic allocation process can be executed when a certain condition is satisfied that the game item selected before the start of the scenario includes the automatic allocation permitted item. By restricting the execution of the automatic allocation process in this way, the taste of the game can be improved.

The allocation of experience points in this way is not finalized until the confirm button B618 is operated. That is, until the confirmation button B618 is operated, it is a temporary allocation, and the consumption of experience points is not confirmed.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the button B614 is displayed corresponding to the basic ability to which the experience points are assigned. By operating the button B614, the allocation of experience points can be canceled and the used experience points can be returned to the unused state. This process is called a rebate process. For example, in the state of FIG. 7, when the button B614 of "meat" is operated once, the experience points used to increase the ability value of "meat" by 1 ("muscle strength" 1, "technique" 6, "spirit" 4). ) Becomes unused, the ability value of "meat" decreases by 1, and the display of the display area A602 and the display area A603 is updated to reflect this (in this case, the initial state of FIG. 6 is restored. Will be). When the ability value of the basic ability is gradually increased, the ability value of the corresponding basic ability can be gradually decreased by the number of operations of the button B614.

Further, by operating the reset button B616, the allocation of the experience points at that time can be canceled at once, and the used experience points can be returned to the unused state. That is, it can be returned to the initial state.

Further, by operating the back button B615, it is possible to cancel the selection of the "capacity up" option P410 on the main screen G400 and return to the main screen G400. If experience points have been allocated at the time of operating the back button B615, the allocation of experience points at that time is canceled at once, and the used experience points are returned to the unused state. That is, after returning to the initial state, the screen returns to the main screen G400.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the setting screen G800 for acquiring the special ability of the hero character trained as a fielder. The setting screen G800 basically has the same screen configuration as the setting screen G600 for increasing the ability value of the basic ability, and the description of the content overlapping with the setting screen G600 will be omitted. In the display area A801, a list of special abilities is displayed, and the experience points required to acquire each special ability are displayed. In this way, by determining the experience points required to acquire the special ability for each type of experience points for each special ability, the method of allocating the experience points becomes diverse. In addition, all special abilities can be viewed by moving the scroll bar displayed in the display area A802.
As with the setting screen G600, the button B613 is displayed corresponding to each special ability, and the button B614 is displayed corresponding to the special ability to which the experience points are assigned. Also on the setting screen G800, by allocating experience points to a special ability arbitrarily selected by the user, a manual allocation process for acquiring the special ability becomes possible. In addition, rebate processing becomes possible.
Further, as in the setting screen G600, in the display area A801, experience points are allocated for special abilities that cannot be acquired because the experience points displayed in the display area A603 are insufficient, or for special abilities that have already been acquired. As it is impossible, for example, it is grayed out.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the case where the main character is trained as a fielder is shown, but when the main character is trained as a pitcher, the basic abilities listed in the display area A604 are "ball speed" and "control". , Replaces "stamina".
In addition, "changing ball", which is one of the basic abilities when training as a pitcher, has different setting screens from "ball speed", "control", and "stamina". In addition to the selection button for basic ability similar to the selection button B611 and the selection button for special ability similar to the selection button B612 shown in FIG. 6, the selection button for setting the type and amount of change of the changing ball is displayed. When this selection button is selected, the type of changing sphere can be selected. As with other basic abilities, the experience points required to increase the amount of change in the changing sphere by 1 are displayed, and the amount of change in the changing sphere can be increased using the experience points.

The rebate unit 1204 updates the display of the display area A602 and the display area A603 of the setting screens G600 and G800 with the execution of the rebate process.

[3. Process flow in the game system]
Hereinafter, the flow of processing in the game device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed by the game device 10 according to the present embodiment. The process described below is realized by the CPU 101 reading the game program stored in the storage device 107 into the RAM 103 and executing the game program.

The flowchart of FIG. 11 shows a state in which the “capacity up” option P410 is selected on the main screen G400 shown in FIG. 4 and is in the “capacity up” mode, that is, the setting screens G600 and G800 illustrated in FIGS. It is executed when there is a user operation in the displayed state.
In step S100, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the user operation is an operation of a manual allocation instruction, specifically, whether or not it is an operation of the button B613. If it is a manual allocation instruction operation, the process proceeds to step S102, and if it is not a manual allocation instruction operation, the process proceeds to step S104.

In step S102, the manual allocation unit 1202 of the game control unit 120 executes the manual allocation process. Specifically, the manual allocation unit 1202 allocates experience points to the basic ability or special ability corresponding to the operated button B613 only once to raise the ability value of the basic ability or acquire the special ability. do. Further, the manual allocation unit 1202 updates the display of the display area A602 and the display area A603 of the setting screens G600 and G800 with the execution of the manual allocation process. Then, the process returns to step S100. It should be noted that the allocation of experience points is not confirmed until the confirmation button B618 is operated as described above.

In step S104, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the user operation is an operation of an automatic allocation instruction, specifically, whether or not it is an operation of the entrusted button B617. If the operation is an automatic allocation instruction, the process proceeds to step S106, and if the operation is not an automatic allocation instruction operation, the process proceeds to step S108.

In step S106, the automatic allocation unit 1203 of the game control unit 120 executes the automatic allocation process. The details of the automatic allocation process will be described later, but the automatic dynamic allocation unit 1203 increases the ability value of the basic ability and acquires the special ability by allocating experience points to the basic ability and special ability selected according to a predetermined rule. To do. Then, the process returns to step S100. It should be noted that the allocation of experience points is not confirmed until the confirmation button B618 is operated as described above.

In step S108, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the user operation is the operation of the return button B615. If the operation is the back button B615, the process proceeds to step S110, and if the operation is not the back button B615, the process proceeds to step S112.

In step S110, the game control unit 120 executes the return process. Specifically, if the experience points have been allocated at the time when the back button B615 is operated, the game control unit 120 cancels the allocation of the experience points at that time and uses it. After returning the experience points to the unused state, that is, returning to the initial state, the player returns to the main screen G400 and exits this flowchart.

In step S112, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the user operation is an operation of a rebate instruction, specifically, whether or not it is an operation of the button B614. If it is a rebate instruction operation, the process proceeds to step S114, and if it is not a rebate instruction operation, the process proceeds to step S116.

In step S114, the rebate unit 1204 of the game control unit 120 executes the rebate process. Specifically, the rebate unit 1204 cancels the allocation of one experience point to the basic ability or special ability corresponding to the operated button B614, and the experience point used in the one allocation is in an unused state. Return to. Further, the rebate unit 1204 updates the display of the display area A602 and the display area A603 of the setting screens G600 and G800 with the execution of the rebate process. Rebates are possible regardless of whether the allocation is performed by the manual allocation process in step S102 or the automatic allocation process in step S106. Then, the process returns to step S100.

In step S116, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the user operation is the operation of the reset button B616. If the operation is the reset button B616, the process proceeds to step S118, and if the operation is not the reset button B616, the process proceeds to step S120.

In step S118, the game control unit 120 executes the reset process. Specifically, the game control unit 120 cancels the allocation of the experience points at the time when the reset button B616 is operated, and returns the used experience points to the unused state, that is, returns to the initial state. Then, the process returns to step S100.

In step S120, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the user operation is the operation of the confirmation button B618. If the operation is the confirmation button B618, the process proceeds to step S122, and if the operation is not the confirmation button B618, the process returns to step S100.

In step S122, the game control unit 120 executes the confirmation process. Specifically, the game control unit 120 confirms the allocation of experience points at the time when the confirmation button B618 is operated, returns to the main screen G400, and exits this flowchart. Further, the experience point management unit 1201 of the game control unit 120 updates the experience points of the hero character data DT3 by determining the consumption of the experience points and subtracting the experience points from the experience points accumulated in the hero character data DT3. do.

Next, the details of the automatic allocation process in step S106 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 15.
12 (a) and 12 (b) are flowcharts showing an example of the automatic allocation process in step S106.
As shown in FIG. 12A, in step S200, the automatic allocation unit 1203 determines whether or not the game item selected before the start of the scenario includes the automatic allocation permitted item. If the auto-allocation permission item is not included, the process proceeds to step S202, and if the auto-allocation permission item is included, the process proceeds to step S204.

In step S202, the automatic allocation unit 1203 displays to notify the user that the automatic allocation process cannot be executed. At this time, in order to make the automatic allocation process executable, it may be notified that the automatic allocation permission item is required. After that, exit this flowchart.

In step S204, the automatic allocation unit 1203 superimposes and displays the confirmation screen G1300 for confirming that the automatic allocation is performed on the setting screens G600 and G800, for example, as shown in FIG. The confirmation screen G1300 may also notify that the experience points can be rebated or reset even after the automatic allocation process.

In step S206, the automatic allocation unit 1203 determines whether or not "Yes" is selected on the confirmation screen G1300. If "Yes" is selected, the process proceeds to step S208, and if "No" is selected, the flow chart is exited.

In step S208, the automatic allocation unit 1203 performs automatic allocation.
In automatic allocation, first, the abilities to be allocated (abilities that compose basic abilities and special abilities) are determined. The ability to allocate experience points displayed in the display area A603 is excluded from the allocation target. That is, the ability to be allocated is the ability to be a candidate for allocating experience points by automatic allocation. As mentioned above, basic abilities and special abilities that cannot be raised or acquired due to lack of experience points, basic abilities whose ability values have already reached the upper limit, special abilities that have already been acquired Abilities are excluded from allocation.

Then, within the range of the experience points displayed in the display area A603, the experience points are allocated so that the player assessment of the main character is higher. Assessment values are set for each of the abilities that make up the basic abilities and special abilities, and the total is the player assessment. By increasing the player assessment of the main character, it is possible to train high-ranked players.
Here, in order to allocate experience points so that the player assessment is higher, an index called "assessment efficiency" is used. The valuation efficiency is the valuation value of a certain ability divided by the experience points required to improve that ability. That is, the assessment efficiency is an index showing the ease of raising the assessment value with respect to the experience points.

For special abilities, a single assessment value is set for each ability. For example, if the assessment value of the special ability A is 80 and the experience points required to acquire the special ability A are 100, the assessment efficiency is 0.80.

On the other hand, with basic abilities, the assessment efficiency will differ depending on the range of ability values even for the same ability. In the basic ability, the assessed value increases as the ability value increases, but the assessed value does not increase as the ability value increases by 1, and the threshold value of the ability value when the assessed value increases is set. For example, in the case of "running ability", the assessed value increases when the ability values of 5, 15, 25, 30, 35, 45, etc. are reached (in other words, the ability values of "running ability" are 35 and 44, for example. Then, the assessed value does not change). In addition, the experience points required to raise the ability value by 1 vary depending on how the assessed value increases at each threshold value and the range of the ability value. Therefore, the assessment efficiency differs depending on the range of the ability value, and the range with high assessment efficiency and the range with low assessment efficiency coexist. For example, in "running ability", the assessment efficiency is different in the range of ability values of 5 or more and 14 or less, 15 or more and 24 or less, 25 or more and 29 or less, 30 or more and 34 or less, 35 or more and 44 or less.

Utilizing such assessment efficiency, among the basic abilities and special abilities to be allocated, for example, by allocating experience points in order from the ability with the highest assessment efficiency, the experience points so that the player assessment of the main character becomes higher. Can be allocated.

FIG. 12B shows an example of automatic allocation in step S208.
In step S2081, the automatic allocation unit 1203 determines the abilities to be allocated (the abilities that constitute the basic abilities and the special abilities) as described above. Abilities to be allocated are abilities that are candidates for allocating experience points by automatic allocation, and basic abilities and special abilities that cannot be raised or acquired due to lack of experience points, Basic abilities whose ability values have already reached the upper limit and special abilities that have already been acquired are excluded from the allocation target.
In step S2082, the automatic allocation unit 1203 identifies the ability with the highest assessment efficiency among the abilities to be allocated.
In step S2083, the automatic allocation unit 1203 allocates experience points to the abilities specified in step S2082 only once.
In step S2084, the automatic allocation unit 1203 determines whether or not the end condition is satisfied. For example, the end condition is that the experience points displayed in the display area A603 have been used up, that is, there are no experience points left for allocating one time to any of the abilities.
If the end condition is not satisfied in step S2084, the process returns to step S2081. By allocating the experience points in step S2083, the ability to be excluded from the allocation target may increase, so that the process of step S2081 needs to be performed each time (for each allocation of the experience points). In addition, by allocating experience points in step S2083, there is a possibility that the ability to be excluded from the allocation target will increase, and even if the basic ability is the same, the assessment efficiency will differ depending on the range of ability values. Since the ability with the highest assessment efficiency may change by allocating the experience points in step S2083, it is necessary to perform the process of step S2082 each time (for each allocation of the experience points).
On the other hand, if the end condition is satisfied in step S2084, the flow chart is exited.

As described above, as a predetermined rule in the automatic allocation process, the ability to allocate the experience points is selected based on the assessment efficiency, but other rules may be included.
For example, the priority acquisition ability may be set. In this case, first, the experience points are allocated so that the priority acquisition ability can be obtained regardless of the assessment efficiency, and after the priority acquisition ability is obtained, the experience points are allocated to the ability with high assessment efficiency. If you are a fielder, you need a certain amount of striking power when you play a game. Therefore, for example, experience points are preferentially assigned to the basic ability "meet" and the basic ability "power" until a predetermined evaluation value is reached. Also, if you are a pitcher, you need some control and ball speed. Therefore, for example, experience points are preferentially assigned to the basic ability "ball speed" and the basic ability "control" until a predetermined evaluation value is reached. A match may be played in the middle of the training part (the fourth section of the scenario), and the result affects the subsequent training. In the match in the middle of the training part, the main character of the ability at that time (the main character in the middle of training) is used, so the ability that can be said to be more effective when playing the match is given priority at the early stage of the training part. It is preferable to keep it up.

Further, in the automatic allocation process, the experience points displayed in the display area A603 are used up, but the experience points may be automatically allocated within the range until the predetermined upper limit is reached. By setting the upper limit of experience points, it is possible to automatically raise the player assessment of the main character to a certain extent, and after that, improve the ability to become the main character that the user likes.

Further, in the automatic allocation process, the user may be made to specify the allocation policy. In the present embodiment, when the main character is trained as a pitcher, as shown in FIG. 14, a screen G1400 for allowing the user to select whether or not to emphasize "stamina" is superimposed and displayed on the setting screens G600 and G800. I try to do it. When aiming for a starting pitcher, prioritize "stamina" and improve the ability of "stamina", and when aiming for a restraining pitcher, improve other abilities without emphasizing "stamina" be able to. By making it possible to specify the allocation policy in this way, it is possible to reflect the policy intended by the user in the automatic allocation process.

In this embodiment, as with the basic ability and the special ability, the experience points can be consumed to acquire the sub-position. By acquiring a sub-position, the main character can take charge of a defensive position other than aptitude. In the automatic allocation process, experience points are not allocated to the acquisition of subpositions. If you spend your experience points to acquire a sub-position, "improvement of ability in sub-position" will be added as one of the special abilities. This special ability "capacity increase in sub-position" may be acquired by automatic allocation processing.

Returning to FIG. 12A, in step S210, the automatic allocation unit 1203 displays a display for notifying the user of the result of allocation of experience points by the automatic allocation process. For example, when experience points are assigned to both basic abilities and special abilities, as shown in FIG. 15, a screen G1500 indicating that the experience points are assigned to "basic abilities" and "special abilities" is superimposed and displayed on the setting screens G600 and G800. do. In the case of a pitcher, "basic ability", "changing ball" and "special ability" may be displayed. Further, when the experience points cannot be allocated at all by the automatic allocation process due to insufficient experience points or the like, the screen G1501 indicating that the experience points have not been allocated is superimposed and displayed on the setting screens G600 and G800.

As described above, the manual allocation process and the automatic allocation process can be selectively executed, and while maintaining the state in which the experience points are allocated by the allocation process of either the manual allocation process or the automatic allocation process, The other allocation process can be executed.
For example, when the manual allocation process in step S102 is executed, the display of the display area A603 is updated so as to subtract the experience points used for the allocation, and in step S106, within the range of the experience points displayed in the display area A603. The automatic allocation process can be executed. Further, when the automatic allocation process in step S106 is executed, the display of the display area A603 is updated so as to subtract the experience points used for the allocation, and in step S102, it is within the range of the experience points displayed in the display area A603. You can execute the manual allocation process with. Further, the rebate process of step S114 can be executed regardless of whether the allocation process is the manual allocation process of step S102 or the automatic allocation process of step S106, and the manual allocation of step S102 is performed from the rebated state. It is also possible to execute the process and the automatic allocation process in step S106.
In this way, by the manual allocation process, the experience points can be allocated by reflecting the policy intended by the user, and the taste of the game can be improved. Further, by automatic allocation, for example, when a beginner of a game allocates experience points or when he / she wants to train a hero character quickly, he / she can easily allocate experience points and improve the taste of the game.
