However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a portable game machine having an input unit, a display unit, and the like may be used. In addition to game machines, for example, server computers, desktop computers, notebook computers, tablet computers, etc., which are manufactured and sold as computers, smartphones, mobile phones, phablets, etc. As described above, it may be manufactured or sold as a telephone.

The player uses the game controller 5 to input various operations. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the game controller 5 has, for example, a cross key 9, a plurality of buttons 11, and the like. The game controller 5 may have, for example, a joystick, a touch pad, or the like in place of or in addition to the above.

<2. Outline of the game>
Next, an example of the outline contents of the game according to the present embodiment, that is, the game provided by executing the game program and the game processing method of the present invention by the information processing device 3 will be described.

The game according to this embodiment is a so-called action role-playing game in which a ally character advances a story while fighting with an enemy character. The ally character is operated by the player, and the enemy character is automatically controlled by a predetermined algorithm (so-called game AI) defined by the game program. When there are a plurality of ally characters, the ally characters may include characters operated by the game program (so-called non-player characters).

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the ally character 13 moves in the field 15 and encounters the enemy character 17, and the predetermined attack or battle start condition is satisfied, the attack or battle is executed on the field 15. NS. For example, when the ally character 13 or the enemy character 17 attacks the opponent, or the enemy character 17 discovers the ally character 13, the attack or battle start condition is satisfied and the attack or battle is started. NS. The battle switches from the screen of the field 15 to another battle screen (for example, a battle screen in which the battle proceeds in a turn system, or a screen in which the player selects the character's action from a prepared menu item and fights). It is done as it is on the field 15 without any. That is, the movement of the ally character 13 and the battle with the enemy character 17 are seamlessly performed on the field 15. In this embodiment, as will be described later, an effect is inserted between the movement phase and the battle phase on the field screen. During the battle, the ally character 13 executes actions related to the battle (for example, movement, attack, avoidance, defense, etc.) corresponding to the player's operation in real time in conjunction with the player's operation.

In the present embodiment, a case where the characters appearing in the game are human characters (for example, military commanders, generals, cavalry, etc., including men and women) will be described as an example. However, in addition to human characters, for example, animals other than humans, creatures other than humans and animals, virtual creatures (for example, monsters, ghosts, youkai, etc.), robots, objects such as articles and objects, etc. may be used.

In the present embodiment, when an attack or battle is performed on the screen of the field 15, the position of at least one of the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 on the field 15 is set to a predetermined position from the position at the start of the attack or battle. Change to. Hereinafter, this content will be described in detail.

<3. Functional configuration of information processing device>
Next, an example of the functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 3 will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing apparatus 3 includes a character movement processing unit 19, a start condition determination processing unit 21, an effect execution processing unit 23, a position change processing unit 25, a battle execution processing unit 27, and a position. It has a recording processing unit 29, a collision determination area setting processing unit 31, and a movable area setting processing unit 33.

The character movement processing unit 19 moves the ally character 13 in the field 15 based on the operation of the player. Further, the character movement processing unit 19 moves the enemy character 17 in the field 15 based on a predetermined algorithm defined by the game program.

When the ally character 13 encounters the enemy character 17, the start condition determination processing unit 21 determines whether or not the start condition of the attack or battle is satisfied. Specifically, the start condition determination processing unit 21 determines that the start condition of the attack is satisfied when the ally character 13 executes an attack in which a predetermined effect range is set (an example of the first attack). An "attack with a predetermined range of effect" is an attack in which the range of effect of the attack is set as a predetermined area, for example, a special move or a special attack (attack using a special item, skill, magic). Etc.) etc. In this embodiment, a case where a special move is activated will be described as an example.

Further, the start condition determination processing unit 21 attacks the enemy character 17 located inside the movable area by the ally character 13 located outside the movable area set by the movable area setting processing unit 33 described later (the first). It is determined that the start condition of the battle is satisfied when the execution of (an example of the attack of 2) is executed. The "attack" in this case includes both short-range and long-range attacks. A "short-range attack" is an attack performed by a friendly character 13 against an enemy character 17 from a relatively short distance. For example, a halberd attack using limbs, a sword, a sword, a spear, an ax, or other non-projectile weapon is used. These are attacks that have been carried out, special attacks that are activated at close range (magic, skills, etc.), etc. A "long-range attack" is an attack performed by a friendly character 13 against an enemy character 17 from a relatively long distance, for example, an attack using a weapon such as a bow and arrow, a stone throw, or a gun, or activated at a long distance. Special attacks (magic, skills, etc.) to do.

Further, the start condition determination processing unit 21 determines that the battle start condition is satisfied when the enemy character 17 located inside the movable area finds the ally character 13 located outside the movable area.

The effect execution processing unit 23 executes an effect of starting an attack or battle (an example of the first effect) when the above conditions for starting an attack or battle are satisfied, and ends the attack or battle at the end of the attack or battle. (An example of the second production) is executed. Specifically, the effect execution processing unit 23 displays a predetermined two-dimensional image such as an image related to the character, an image expressing the transition to battle, an image showing information by characters, symbols, or the like. Run. Further, the effect execution processing unit 23 temporarily brings the close-up image of the ally character 13 or the enemy character 17 closer to at least one of the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 by bringing the virtual camera for generating the three-dimensional image of the field 15 closer to the ally character 13 or the enemy character 17. Execute the production by the camera work to be displayed in a realistic manner. In addition, for example, an effect other than the above may be executed, such as displaying a three-dimensional image, moving the virtual camera away from the character to make a long image, or rotating the virtual camera around the character to display an image that turns. ..

The position change processing unit 25 records the position of at least one of the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 on the field 15 by the position recording processing unit 29, which will be described later, during the execution of the above-mentioned attack or the effect of starting the battle. Or, change from the position when the start condition of the battle is satisfied to the predetermined position. Specifically, the character position is changed as follows. For example, when the ally character 13 activates the special move and the attack start condition is satisfied, the position change processing unit 25 sets the ally character 17 so that the enemy character 17 is within the effect range of the activated special move. Change the position of at least one of the character 13 or the enemy character 17 on the field 15. In this case, if there are a plurality of enemy characters 17 around the ally character 13 when the ally character 13 activates the special move, the effect of the special move is the position of the plurality of enemy characters 17 on the field 15. Change to collect within range.

Further, the position change processing unit 25 exists in the collision determination area set by the collision determination area setting processing unit 31 in which an object (for example, a building, a wall, a tree, a rock, a device, a tool, etc.) on the field 15 is described later. The position of the ally character 13 on the field 15 is changed so that it disappears.

Further, for example, when the ally character 13 located outside the movable area attacks the enemy character 17 located inside the movable area and the start condition of the battle is satisfied, or inside the movable area. When the located enemy character 17 discovers the ally character 13 located outside the movable area and the battle start condition is satisfied, the position change processing unit 25 shifts the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15. Change from outside to inside of the movable area.

The position change processing unit 25 returns the changed position of the ally character 13 to the position at the time when the start condition of the attack or the battle is satisfied during the execution of the effect of the end of the attack or the battle. In the present embodiment, only the ally character 13 returns the position, but for example, when there is an enemy character 17 who survives the attack or the end of the battle, the enemy character 17 also attacks or fights the changed position. You may return to the position when the start condition of is satisfied. In addition to changing the position, the position change processing unit 25 may change the orientation of the ally character 13 or the enemy character 17 on at least one field 15 as needed.

The battle execution processing unit 27 executes an attack by the ally character 13 or a battle between the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 in the field 15 in a state of being changed to a predetermined position by the position change processing unit 25. Specifically, when the ally character 13 activates the special move and the attack start condition is satisfied, the battle execution processing unit 27 performs the special move set in advance against the background of the scenery of the changed position. Depicts the motion of the attack by. Further, when the ally character 13 located outside the movable area attacks the enemy character 17 located inside the movable area and the start condition of the battle is satisfied, or the character 13 is located inside the movable area. When the enemy character 17 discovers the ally character 13 located outside the movable area and the start condition of the battle is satisfied, the battle execution processing unit 27 and the ally character 13 that acts based on the player's operation. , Fight an enemy character 17 that acts based on a predetermined algorithm.

The position recording processing unit 29 records the position (coordinates) of the ally character 13 on the field 15 at the time when the above-mentioned attack or battle start condition is satisfied. When changing the direction of the ally character 13 as described above, the direction (vector) on the field 15 of the ally character 13 at the time when the above-mentioned attack or battle start condition is satisfied may be recorded. Further, when returning the changed position of the enemy character 17 as described above, even if the position (coordinates) of the enemy character 17 on the field 15 at the time when the start condition of the attack or the battle is satisfied is recorded. good.

The collision determination area setting processing unit 31 can determine a collision with an object arranged in the field 15 so as to include a virtual camera for generating a three-dimensional image of the field 15 around the ally character 13. Set the judgment area. The collision determination area is set as, for example, a circular (cylindrical or spherical) area centered on the ally character 13, and the radius thereof is at least inside the area where the virtual camera arranged around the ally character 13 during the battle. It is set to the size to be located.

The movable area setting processing unit 33 sets a movable area in which the enemy character 17 can move in the field 15. The enemy character 17 (so-called encounter symbol) placed inside the movable area moves only inside the movable area and does not go out. In the present embodiment, the battle between the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 is executed only inside the movable area, and is not executed outside the movable area. Therefore, the movable area is set to a place suitable for a battle in the field 15. For example, the movable area is not set in a narrow place such as a narrow passage or a gap between objects, or in an inclined place such as a staircase, but is set in a wide place where the surroundings are open.

The processing and the like in each processing unit described above is not limited to the example of sharing these processing, and may be processed by, for example, a smaller number of processing units (for example, one processing unit). Further, it may be processed by a further subdivided processing unit. Further, the functions of the above-mentioned processing units are implemented by a game program executed by the CPU 101 (see FIG. 24 described later) described later, and some of them are, for example, dedicated integrated circuits such as ASICs and FPGAs, and others. It may be implemented by an actual device such as an electric circuit of.

<4. Example of changing character position (1)>
Next, a specific example of character position change by the position change processing unit 25 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. 5 to 7 show a specific example of changing the character position when the ally character 13 activates a special move and the attack start condition is satisfied. In FIGS. 5 to 7, the ally character 13 is shown in white, the enemy character 17 is shown by hatching, and the front direction of each character is shown by an arrow 35 for easy distinction.

5 (a) to 5 (d) show, for example, a state in which the ally character 13 is cornered by a plurality of enemy characters 17 near the wall. In such a state, when the ally character 13 activates a special move for rejuvenation, the ally character 13 is not directed toward the enemy character 17 due to the player's hurried operation, and the direction or difference from the enemy character 17 is different. There is a possibility that the attack will be missed by activating a special move on the target. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 5A, the ally character 13 activates a special move toward the wall 37. Since the special move has an effect range 39 set on the front side of the ally character 13, if no processing is performed as it is, the enemy character 17 will not be hit.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the position change processing unit 25 changes the positions of the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 on the field 15 so that the enemy character 17 exists within the effect range 39 of the activated special move. Specifically, first, when the ally character 13 activates the special move, the position recording processing unit 29 records the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15. Then, as shown in FIG. 5A, the collision determination area setting processing unit 31 sets a circular collision determination area 41 centered on the ally character 13.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, the collision determination area setting processing unit 31 has an object (including a wall 37 and the like. In this example, the enemy character 17 is not included) inside the collision determination area 41. The collision determination area 41 is expanded so as not to be arranged, and the position of the ally character 13 located at the center of the collision determination area 41 is changed as shown by the arrow 43. The collision determination region 41 is expanded, for example, until the radius r becomes a size that includes at least the effect range 39 of the special move between the ally character 13 and the wall 37. The position change processing unit 25 may change the direction of the ally character 13 so that it faces, for example, the enemy character 17 side, if necessary. Further, when expanding the collision determination area 41, all objects including the enemy character 17 and fellow ally characters may not be arranged inside the collision determination area 41. In this case, after all the objects are once separated from the collision determination area 41, the enemy characters 17 may be gathered within the effect range 39.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5C, the position change processing unit 25 changes the positions of the plurality of enemy characters 17 on the field 15 so as to be collected within the effect range 39 of the special move. At this time, the position change processing unit 25 also changes the direction of the enemy character 17 so as to face the side of the ally character 13 whose position has been changed.

The above-mentioned processes shown in FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c) are performed by the effect execution processing unit 23 to produce an attack start effect (for example, display of a two-dimensional image or a close-up image of a character) so as not to be noticed by the player. It is executed while display etc.) is being executed. Then, in the changed character arrangement shown in FIG. 5C, an attack by a special move is executed. For example, based on the position and orientation of the changed character, the motion of the special move activated by the ally character 13 and the "damaged motion" expressing that the enemy character 17 was attacked and defeated are depicted. ..

When the attack by the special move is completed, as shown in FIG. 5D, the position change processing unit 25 indicates the changed position of the ally character 13 based on the position recorded by the position recording processing unit 29 by the arrow 45. Return to the position when the special move was activated as shown in. In the process shown in FIG. 5D, the effect execution processing unit 23 executes an effect of ending the attack (for example, displaying a two-dimensional image, displaying a close-up image of the character, etc.) so as not to be noticed by the player. It is executed while you are.

Next, FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (d) show a case where, for example, the ally character 13 is cornered by the wall and the special move is activated while facing the enemy character 17 side. In this case, it is possible to hit the special move on the enemy character 17, but as shown in FIG. 6A, for example, an image of the special move being executed by the virtual camera 47 arranged behind the ally character 13. Is generated, the virtual camera 47 is arranged behind the wall 37, and if no processing is performed as it is, the image during the execution of the special move will not be properly displayed.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the position change processing unit 25 changes the positions of the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 on the field 15 so that the image during the execution of the special move can be appropriately depicted. Specifically, first, when the ally character 13 activates the special move, the position recording processing unit 29 records the position and orientation of the ally character 13 on the field 15. Then, as shown in FIG. 6A, the collision determination area setting processing unit 31 sets a circular collision determination area 41 centered on the ally character 13, and as shown in FIG. 6B, the inside is virtual. The collision determination area 41 is enlarged so as to include the camera 47. Along with this, the position of the ally character 13 located at the center of the collision determination region 41 is changed as shown by the arrow 43. The collision determination region 41 is expanded until, for example, the radius r becomes a size that includes at least a virtual camera 47 arranged behind the ally character 13. As a result, the virtual camera 47 is arranged on the front side of the wall 37. The position change processing unit 25 also changes the orientation of the ally character 13 so that it faces, for example, the enemy character 17 side as necessary.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6C, the position change processing unit 25 changes the positions of the plurality of enemy characters 17 on the field 15 so as to be collected within the effect range 39 of the special move. At this time, the position change processing unit 25 also changes the direction of the enemy character 17 so as to face the side of the ally character 13 whose position has been changed.

The processes shown in FIGS. 6 (a) to 6 (c) above are executed while the effect of starting an attack is being executed by the effect execution processing unit 23. Then, in the changed character arrangement shown in FIG. 6 (c), an attack by a special move is executed.

When the attack by the special move is completed, as shown in FIG. 6D, when the position change processing unit 25 activates the special move as shown by the arrow 45 in the changed position and direction of the ally character 13. Return to position and orientation. The process shown in FIG. 6D is executed while the effect of ending the attack is being executed by the effect execution processing unit 23.

Next, in FIGS. 7 (a) to 7 (d), when the ally character 13 activates a special move at a place where an object 49 (for example, a tree) exists between the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17, for example. Is shown. In this case, the object 49 is inserted into the image during the execution of the special move, and if no processing is performed as it is, the image during the execution of the special move may not be drawn neatly and coolly.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the position change processing unit 25 changes the positions of the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 on the field 15 so that the image during the execution of the special move can be appropriately depicted. Specifically, first, when the ally character 13 activates the special move, the position recording processing unit 29 records the position and orientation of the ally character 13 on the field 15. Then, as shown in FIG. 7A, the collision determination area setting processing unit 31 sets a circular collision determination area 41 centered on the ally character 13, and as shown in FIG. 7B, the collision determination area The collision determination area 41 is expanded so that the object 49 is not arranged inside the 41. Along with this, the position of the ally character 13 located at the center of the collision determination region 41 is changed as shown by the arrow 43. The collision determination area 41 is expanded until, for example, the radius r becomes a size that includes at least the effect range 39 of the special move between the ally character 13 and the object 49. The position change processing unit 25 also changes the orientation of the ally character 13 so that it faces, for example, the enemy character 17 side as necessary.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7C, the position change processing unit 25 changes the positions of the plurality of enemy characters 17 on the field 15 so as to be collected within the effect range 39 of the special move. At this time, the position change processing unit 25 also changes the direction of the enemy character 17 so as to face the side of the ally character 13 whose position has been changed.

The above-mentioned processes shown in FIGS. 7 (a) to 7 (c) are executed while the effect of starting an attack is being executed by the effect execution processing unit 23. Then, in the changed character arrangement shown in FIG. 7 (c), an attack by a special move is executed.

When the attack by the special move is completed, as shown in FIG. 7D, when the position change processing unit 25 activates the special move as shown by the arrow 45 in the changed position and direction of the ally character 13. Return to position and orientation. The process shown in FIG. 7D is executed while the effect of ending the attack is being executed by the effect execution processing unit 23.

<5. Game screen example (1)>
Next, when the processes shown in FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (d) described above are executed using FIGS. 8 to 12, that is, the ally character 13 is cornered by the plurality of enemy characters 17 near the wall. A specific example of the game screen when the special move is activated in the state of being in the state will be described. In FIGS. 8 to 12, the ally character 13 is shown in white and the enemy character 17 is shown in hatching for easy distinction.

As shown in FIG. 8, the ally character 13 is cornered by the enemy character 17 near the wall. For example, when the player rushes to perform an erroneous operation, a special move in which the effect range 39 is set on the front side of the ally character 13 is performed. It is activated toward the wall 37 side.

By activating the special move, the effect of starting the attack is executed as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 9, for example, a two-dimensional image showing the characters "Mystery start !!" indicating the start of an attack by a special move is displayed so as to cover the screen. In the battle phase in which the enemy character 17 is battled on the field 15, by displaying this two-dimensional image, the attack by the special move of the ally character 13 is started.

During the display of the two-dimensional image, the positions of the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 on the field 15 are changed, respectively, as shown in FIGS. 5 (b) and 5 (c). As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, in the changed character arrangement, the motion of the special move activated by the ally character 13 and the "damaged motion" expressing that the enemy character 17 was attacked and defeated are depicted. Will be done.

When the attack by the special move is completed, the effect of ending the attack is executed as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 11, for example, a two-dimensional image showing the characters "Mystery end !!" indicating the end of the attack by the special move is displayed so as to cover the screen. By displaying this two-dimensional image in the battle phase, the attack by the special move of the ally character 13 ends.

While displaying the two-dimensional image, as shown in FIG. 5D, the changed position of the ally character 13 is returned to the position at the time when the special move is activated. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the ally character 13 returns to the original position near the wall, and the field 15 can be moved according to the operation of the player.

<6. Example of changing character position (2)>
Next, another specific example of character position change by the position change processing unit 25 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. 13 and 14, the ally character 13 attacks the enemy character 17 from outside the movable area and the start condition of the battle is satisfied, or the ally character 13 becomes the enemy character 17 outside the movable area. A specific example of changing the character position when the character is found and the conditions for starting the battle are satisfied is shown. In addition, in FIGS. 13 and 14, the ally character 13 is shown by white and the enemy character 17 is shown by hatching, and the front direction of each character is shown by an arrow 35 for easy distinction.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 13 (a) to 13 (c), for example, the ally character 13 is moving in the narrow passage 51, and the enemy character 17 is arranged in the hall 53 at the end of the passage 51. As shown in FIG. 13A, a movable area 55 is set in the hall 53 by the movable area setting processing unit 33, and the enemy character 17 is inside the movable area 55 as shown by an arrow 56. Only move (wander) and never go outside. In this case, as shown in FIG. 13B, when the ally character 13 attacks the enemy character 17 from outside the movable area 55, the battle start condition is satisfied, and the battle is started. The battle will be conducted outside the movable area 55, which is set as a suitable place for the battle, that is, in a place inappropriate for the battle. Especially if the attack is a long-range attack, it is more likely that the battle will take place in an inappropriate location. In the example shown in FIG. 13B, the ally character 13 launches a long-range attack on the enemy character 17 with a bow and arrow 57, for example, and the battle is carried out in the narrow passage 51.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13C, the position change processing unit 25 changes the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15 from the outside to the inside of the movable area 55. At this time, the position change processing unit 25 also changes the position and orientation of the enemy character 17 so as to confront the ally character 13 whose position has been changed at a predetermined distance. Further, the direction of the ally character 13 may be changed as needed.

In the process shown in FIG. 13C, the effect execution processing unit 23 executes an effect of starting a battle (for example, displaying a two-dimensional image, displaying a close-up image of a character, etc.) so as not to be noticed by the player. It is executed while you are. Then, in the changed character arrangement shown in FIG. 13C, the battle between the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 is executed.

Further, the example shown in FIGS. 14A to 14C is a case where the enemy character 17 located inside the movable area 55 discovers the ally character 13 located outside the movable area 55. If, as shown in FIG. 14B, when the enemy character 17 discovers the ally character 13, and the battle is not started, the enemy character 17 can approach even though the ally character 13 is found. Instead, it wanders around the boundary of the movable area 55. As a result, although the movable area 55 is not displayed and cannot be seen by the player, the player recognizes the movable area 55 and is excited.

Therefore, as in the present embodiment, when the enemy character 17 discovers the ally character 13, the battle start condition is satisfied and the battle is started, so that the enemy character 17 is in the above state. It can be avoided that the player can play without being aware of the movable area 55. However, in this case, since the battle is started in a state where the ally character 13 is located outside the movable area 55, the battle is performed in a place inappropriate for the battle as in FIG. 13 described above. .. In the example shown in FIG. 14B, since the ally character 13 is found by the enemy character 17 while the passage 51 is moving, the battle is performed in the narrow passage 51.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14C, the position change processing unit 25 changes the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15 from the outside to the inside of the movable area 55. At this time, the position change processing unit 25 also changes the position of the enemy character 17 so as to confront the ally character 13 whose position has been changed at a predetermined distance. Further, the orientation of the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 may be changed as needed.

In the process shown in FIG. 14C, the effect execution processing unit 23 executes an effect of starting a battle (for example, displaying a two-dimensional image, displaying a close-up image of a character, etc.) so as not to be noticed by the player. It is executed while you are. Then, in the changed character arrangement shown in FIG. 14C, the battle between the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 is executed.

In the case shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the position of the ally character 13 is not returned to the passage 51 after the battle is completed, and the movement phase is returned to the hall 53. However, the position of the ally character 13 may be returned to the passage 51 in the same manner as in the processes shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 described above.

<7. Game screen example (2)>
Next, a specific example of the game screen in the case shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 21. In FIGS. 15 to 21, the ally character 13 is shown in white and the enemy character 17 is shown in hatching for easy distinction.

As shown in FIG. 15, the ally character 13 is moving in the narrow passage 51, and the enemy character 17 is present in the hall 53 at the end of the passage 51. In this example, the enemy character 17 is unaware of the ally character 13.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 16, when the ally character 13 launches a long-range attack on the enemy character 17 with the bow and arrow 57, the effect of starting the battle is executed as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 17, a close-up image of the enemy character 17 is displayed by bringing the virtual camera 47 closer to the enemy character 17, and for example, a state in which the enemy character 17 receives a first strike from a ally character 13 and staggers is depicted. There is. After the close-up image of the enemy character 17 is displayed for a predetermined time, the virtual camera 47 is moved away from the enemy character 17 and returned to the original long screen again. With such a camera work effect, the movement phase shifts to the battle phase.

While displaying the close-up image, as shown in FIG. 13C, the position of the ally character 13 is changed from the outside to the inside of the movable area 55. As a result, as shown in FIG. 18, the friendly character 13 and the enemy character 17 are arranged to face each other in the hall 53, and the battle between the friendly character 13 and the enemy character 17 is executed in the changed character arrangement.

Further, as shown in FIG. 19, when the enemy character 17 in the hall 53 discovers the ally character 13 moving in the narrow passage 51, the effect of starting the battle is executed as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 20, a close-up image of the enemy character 17 is displayed by bringing the virtual camera 47 closer to the enemy character 17, and for example, a state in which the enemy character 17 wields a sword to make a first strike is depicted. After the close-up image of the enemy character 17 is displayed for a predetermined time, the virtual camera 47 is moved away from the enemy character 17 and returned to the original long screen again. With such a camera work effect, the movement phase shifts to the battle phase.

While displaying the close-up image, as shown in FIG. 14C, the position of the ally character 13 is changed from the outside to the inside of the movable area 55. As a result, as shown in FIG. 21, the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 face each other inside the hall 53 on the long screen, and in the changed character arrangement, the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 fight each other. Is executed. In the example shown in FIG. 21, when returning to the long screen, a state in which the ally character 13 is damaged by the first strike from the enemy character 17 (for example, a state of kneeling) is displayed. The transition from the movement phase (awareness of the enemy character 17) to the battle phase (damage of the ally character 13) through the production (first strike by the enemy character 17) is seamlessly expressed.

In the cases shown in FIGS. 15 to 21, when the battle is completed, the battle phase returns to the movement phase in the hall 53, and the ally character 13 can move the field 15 again in the hall 53 according to the operation of the player. It becomes a state.

<8. Processing procedure executed by the information processing device>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23, an example of a processing procedure executed by the CPU 101 of the information processing device 3 when a battle between the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 is executed while the field is moving will be described. ..

In step S5, the information processing device 3 moves the ally character 13 on the field 15 according to the operation of the player by the character movement processing unit 19.

In step S10, the information processing device 3 determines whether or not the ally character 13 has encountered the enemy character 17 by the start condition determination processing unit 21. If the ally character 13 has not encountered the enemy character 17 (step S10: NO), the process returns to step S5. On the other hand, when the ally character 13 encounters the enemy character 17 (step S10: YES), the process proceeds to step S15.

In step S15, the information processing device 3 determines whether or not the ally character 13 has activated the special move in which the predetermined effect range is set by the start condition determination processing unit 21. If it is determined that the special move has been activated, the attack start condition is satisfied (step S15: YES), and the process proceeds to step S20.

In step S20, the information processing device 3 records the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15 at the time when the special move is activated by the position recording processing unit 29.

In step S25, the information processing device 3 executes an attack start effect of displaying a predetermined two-dimensional image by the effect execution processing unit 23.

In step S30, the information processing device 3 uses the position change processing unit 25 to make the ally character 13 or the ally character 13 or so that the enemy character 17 is within the effect range 39 of the special move activated during the execution of the attack start effect. Change the position of at least one of the enemy characters 17 on the field 15. At this time, as described above, when a plurality of enemy characters 17 exist around the ally character 13, the positions of the plurality of enemy characters 17 are changed so as to be gathered within the effect range 39 of the special move.

In step S35, the information processing device 3 executes the special move activated by the ally character 13 against the enemy character 17 based on the character position changed in step S30 by the battle execution processing unit 27.

In step S40, the information processing device 3 determines whether or not the special move activated by the ally character 13 has been completed by the battle execution processing unit 27. Until the special move is completed, the process waits in this step S40 (step S40: NO), and when the special move is completed (step S40: YES), the process proceeds to step S45.

In step S45, the information processing device 3 executes an attack end effect of displaying a predetermined two-dimensional image by the effect execution processing unit 23.

In step S50, the information processing device 3 activates the special move recorded in step S20 by the position change processing unit 25 while executing the effect of ending the attack by recording the changed position of the ally character 13. Return to position.

In step S55, the information processing device 3 determines whether or not to end the movement of the field. For example, when the scene of moving the field is changed to another screen, or when the player performs an operation of ending the movement of the field or an operation of ending the game (step S55: YES), the present flow is terminated. On the other hand, when continuing to move the field (step S55: NO), the process returns to the first step S5.

If it is determined in the previous step S15 that the ally character 13 has not activated the special move (step S15: NO), the process proceeds to step S60.

In step S60, the information processing device 3 uses the start condition determination processing unit 21 to determine whether or not the ally character 13 located outside the movable area 55 attacks the enemy character 17 located inside the movable area 55. Is determined. When the attack is executed, the start condition of the battle is satisfied (step S60: YES), and the process proceeds to step S65.

In step S65, the information processing device 3 executes the effect of starting the battle by bringing the virtual camera 47 closer to the enemy character 17 and temporarily displaying the close-up image of the enemy character 17 by the effect execution processing unit 23.

In step S70, the information processing device 3 changes the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15 from the outside to the inside of the movable area 55 during the execution of the battle start effect by the position change processing unit 25.

In step S75, the information processing device 3 acts based on the ally character 13 that acts based on the player's operation and the ally character 13 that acts based on the player's operation based on the character arrangement changed in step S70 by the battle execution processing unit 27. Fight the enemy character 17.

In step S80, the information processing device 3 determines whether or not the ally character 13 has defeated the enemy character 17 by the battle execution processing unit 27. If the enemy character 17 has not been defeated (step S80: NO), the process returns to step S75. When the enemy character 17 is defeated (step S80: YES), the process proceeds to step S55 described above.

In the previous step S60, when the ally character 13 located outside the movable area 55 does not attack the enemy character 17 located inside the movable area 55 (step S60: NO), The process proceeds to step S85.

In step S85, the information processing device 3 determines whether or not the enemy character 17 located inside the movable area 55 has found the ally character 13 located outside the movable area 55 by the start condition determination processing unit 21. judge. When the enemy character 17 finds the ally character 13, the battle start condition is satisfied (step S85: YES), and the process proceeds to step S65. On the other hand, if the enemy character 17 has not found the ally character 13 (step S85: NO), the process proceeds to step S55 described above.

The above-mentioned processing procedure is an example, and at least a part of the above-mentioned procedure may be deleted or changed, or a procedure other than the above may be added. Further, the order of at least a part of the above procedures may be changed, or a plurality of procedures may be combined into a single procedure.

<9. Effect of embodiment>
As described above, in the game program of the present embodiment, the information processing device 3 encounters the character movement processing unit 19 that moves the ally character 13 in the field 15 based on the operation of the player, and the ally character 13 encounters the enemy character 17. If this is the case, the start condition determination processing unit 21 that determines whether or not the start condition of the attack or battle is satisfied, and if the start condition of the attack or battle is satisfied, the effect of executing the effect of starting the attack or battle is executed. The position on at least one of the field 15 of the ally character 13 or the enemy character 17 is determined from the position at the time when the start condition of the attack or the battle is satisfied during the execution of the execution processing unit 23, the effect of starting the attack or the battle. It functions as a position change processing unit 25 that changes to the position of, and a battle execution processing unit 27 that executes a battle between the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 in the field 15 in the state of being changed to the predetermined position.

In the present embodiment, when the ally character 13 moves in the field 15 and encounters the enemy character 17, and the start condition of the attack or battle is satisfied, the attack or battle is executed on the field 15. At this time, depending on the place where the attack or battle is performed and the positional relationship between the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17, it may not be possible to properly execute the attack or battle, and in that case, the interest of the game is reduced. I will end up.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the start condition of the attack or the battle is satisfied, the effect of starting the attack or the battle is executed, and during the execution of the effect, the field 15 of at least one of the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 is executed. The upper position is changed from the position at the time when the start condition of the attack or the battle is satisfied to the predetermined position. This makes it possible to set the location and positional relationship in which the attack or battle can be appropriately executed, and the attack or battle can be performed regardless of the location where the attack or battle is performed or the positional relationship between the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17. Can be done properly. In addition, by inserting an effect between the movement of the ally character 13 in the field 15 (movement phase) and the battle with the enemy character 17 (battle phase), the position of the character is changed without discomfort so as not to be noticed by the player. be able to. As a result, the movement phase and the battle phase in the field 15 can be seamlessly expressed without separation. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the game program further uses the information processing device 3 as a position recording processing unit 29 for recording the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15 at the time when the start condition of the attack or the battle is satisfied. The effect execution processing unit 23 executes the effect of the end of the attack or battle at the end of the attack or battle, and the position change processing unit 25 executes the effect of the end of the attack or battle during the execution of the effect of the end of the attack or battle. Return the changed position to the position when the conditions for starting an attack or battle were met.

As a result, even if the position of the ally character 13 is changed in the attack or battle, it can be returned to the original position before the change after the end of the attack or battle, so that the player can play without discomfort even after the end of the attack or battle. You can continue.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the start condition determination processing unit 21 determines that the attack start condition is satisfied when the ally character 13 executes a special move in which a predetermined effect range 39 is set, and performs a position change process. Part 25 changes the position of the ally character 13 or the enemy character 17 on at least one field 15 so that the enemy character 17 is within the effect range 39 of the special move executed by the ally character 13.

When the movement of the ally character 13 and the battle with the enemy character 17 are seamlessly executed on the field 15 as in the present embodiment, for example, while escaping from the enemy character 17 or being cornered by the enemy character 17. If the ally character 13 executes the special move at such times, the player may activate the special move in a direction different from that of the enemy character 17 or in a different target due to a hurried operation of the player, and the attack may be missed.

In the present embodiment, the position of the ally character 13 or the enemy character 17 on at least one field 15 is changed so that the enemy character 17 is within the effect range 39 of the special move activated by the ally character 13. As a result, it is possible to reliably hit the enemy character 17 with a special move regardless of the place where the battle takes place or the positional relationship between the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17. Therefore, the fun of the game can be improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the position change processing unit 25 is a field of a plurality of enemy characters 17 when a plurality of enemy characters 17 are present around the ally character 13 when the ally character 13 activates a special move. Change the position on 15 to collect within the effect range 39 of the special move.

As a result, when a special move is activated in a state where a plurality of enemy characters 17 exist around the ally character 13, the position where the battle is performed and the positional relationship between the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 do not matter. It is possible to efficiently defeat the enemy by hitting a plurality of enemy characters 17 with a special move. Therefore, the player can comfortably activate the special move.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the game program arranges the information processing device 3 in the field 15 so as to include a virtual camera 47 for generating a three-dimensional image of the field 15 around the ally character 13. Further function as a collision determination area setting processing unit 31 for setting a collision determination area 41 capable of determining a collision with the object 49, and the position change processing unit 25 prevents the object 49 from existing in the collision determination area 41. In addition, the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15 is changed. As a result, the following effects are obtained.

That is, when the location of the ally character 13 at the start of the battle is near an object 49 such as a wall 37 of a building or a tree, depending on the direction of the ally character 13 and the positional relationship with the enemy character 17, at the time of the battle The virtual camera 47 gets inside the wall 37 or the object 49, or the virtual camera 47 is located on the opposite side of the wall 37 or the object 49 from the characters 13 and 17, or the virtual camera 47 and the ally character. There is a possibility that the wall 37 or the object 49 may interrupt the space between the 13 and 13, in which case the battle image will not be displayed properly.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the collision determination area 41 is set so as to include the virtual camera 47 around the ally character 13, and the position of the ally character 13 is set so that the wall 37 and the object 49 do not exist in the collision determination area 41. To change. As a result, the wall 37 and the object 49 can be eliminated from the surroundings of the ally character 13, and the wall 37 and the object 49 can be prevented from interrupting between the virtual camera 47 and the ally character 13, so that the battle is clear and unobstructed. The image can be displayed properly.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the game program further functions the information processing device 3 as a movable area setting processing unit 33 for setting a movable area 55 in which the enemy character 17 can move in the field 15, and a start condition. The determination processing unit 21 determines that the battle start condition is satisfied when the ally character 13 located outside the movable area 55 attacks the enemy character 17 located inside the movable area 55, and determines that the position is satisfied. The change processing unit 25 changes the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15 from the outside to the inside of the movable area 55.

In the present embodiment, the movable area 55 is set in the field 15, and the enemy character 17 arranged in the area moves only inside the movable area 55 and does not go out. In this case, when the ally character 13 located outside the movable area 55 executes an attack against the enemy character 17 located inside and the battle is started, the battle is performed outside the movable area 55. There is a possibility that the battle will not be carried out properly.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15 is changed from the outside to the inside of the movable area 55 during the execution of the effect of starting the battle. As a result, the battle can be performed inside the movable area 55 set as a suitable place for the battle to take place, so that the battle can be performed appropriately. In addition, since the position of the ally character 13 can be changed from the outside to the inside of the movable area 55 so as not to be noticed by the player by the effect of starting the battle, the movement phase and the battle phase in the field 15 can be seamlessly expressed without separation. can.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the start condition determination processing unit 21 starts the battle when the enemy character 17 located inside the movable area 55 finds the ally character 13 located outside the movable area 55. Is satisfied, the position change processing unit 25 changes the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15 from the outside to the inside of the movable area 55.

Even when the battle is started in this way, the battle is started with the ally character 13 located outside the movable area 55, so that the battle is performed in a place inappropriate for the battle. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the position of the ally character 13 on the field 15 is changed from the outside to the inside of the movable area 55 during the execution of the effect of starting the battle. As a result, the battle can be performed inside the movable area 55 set as a suitable place for the battle to take place, so that the battle can be performed appropriately.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the effect execution processing unit 23 executes an effect of displaying a predetermined two-dimensional image.

As a result, for example, by displaying images related to the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17, an image expressing the transition from the movement phase to the battle phase, an image showing information by characters, symbols, etc., various tastes can be obtained. Elaborate production is possible. Further, by displaying such an image, the position change of the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17 can be made inconspicuous.

Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, the effect execution processing unit 23 executes an effect of bringing the virtual camera 47 for generating the three-dimensional image of the field 15 closer to at least one of the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17.

As a result, a close-up image of the ally character 13 or the enemy character 17 can be temporarily displayed from the long image including the ally character 13 and the enemy character 17, and an effective production that emphasizes the situation of the battle scene is possible. It becomes. Further, by displaying such a close-up image, the position change of the ally character 13 or the enemy character 17 can be made inconspicuous.

<10. Information processing device hardware configuration>
Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 3 that realizes each processing unit implemented by the program executed by the CPU 101 or the like described above will be described with reference to FIG. 24.

As shown in FIG. 24, the information processing apparatus 3 includes, for example, a CPU 101, a ROM 103, a RAM 105, a GPU 106, a dedicated integrated circuit 107 constructed for a specific application such as an ASIC or an FPGA, and an input device 113. It has an output device 115, a recording device 117, a drive 119, a connection port 121, and a communication device 123. These configurations are connected so that signals can be transmitted to each other via a bus 109, an input / output interface 111, and the like.

The game program can be recorded in, for example, a recording device 117 such as a ROM 103, a RAM 105, or a hard disk.

Further, the game program is temporarily or permanently (non-temporarily) recorded on, for example, a magnetic disk such as a flexible disk, various CDs, MO disks, an optical disk such as a DVD, or a removable recording medium 125 such as a semiconductor memory. You can also keep it. Such a recording medium 125 can also be provided as so-called package software. In this case, the game program recorded on these recording media 125 may be read by the drive 119 and recorded on the recording device 117 via the input / output interface 111, the bus 109, or the like.

The game program can also be recorded on, for example, a download site, another computer, another recording device, or the like (not shown). In this case, the game program is transferred via a network NW such as LAN or the Internet, and the communication device 123 receives this program. Then, the program received by the communication device 123 may be recorded in the recording device 117 via the input / output interface 111, the bus 109, or the like.

Further, the game program can be recorded in an appropriate externally connected device 127, for example. In this case, the game program may be transferred via an appropriate connection port 121 and recorded in the recording device 117 via the input / output interface 111, the bus 109, or the like.

Then, the CPU 101 executes various processes according to the program recorded in the recording device 117, so that the character movement processing unit 19, the start condition determination processing unit 21, the effect execution processing unit 23, and the position change processing unit 25 described above are executed. , The battle execution processing unit 27, the position recording processing unit 29, the collision determination area setting processing unit 31, the movable area setting processing unit 33, and the like are realized. At this time, for example, the CPU 101 may directly read the program from the recording device 117 and execute it, or may execute it after loading it into the RAM 105 once. Further, for example, when the CPU 101 receives the program via the communication device 123, the drive 119, or the connection port 121, the CPU 101 may directly execute the received program without recording it in the recording device 117.

Further, if necessary, the CPU 101 may perform various processes based on signals and information input from an input device 113 of, for example, a mouse, a keyboard, a microphone, etc. (not shown) including the game controller 5 described above. good.

The GPU 106 performs processing for displaying an image, such as rendering processing, in response to an instruction from the CPU 101.

Then, the CPU 101 and the GPU 106 output the result of executing the above processing from the output device 115 including, for example, the display device 7 and the audio output unit described above. Further, the CPU 101 and the GPU 106 may transmit the processing result via the communication device 123 or the connection port 121, or may record the processing result on the recording device 117 or the recording medium 125, if necessary.

<11. Modification example>
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and technical idea.

For example, in the above, the case where the position change processing unit 25 changes at least the position of the ally character 13 has been described. However, even if the position of the ally character 13 is not changed, only the position of the enemy character 17 is changed to perform the battle. If it becomes possible to properly execute, only the position of the enemy character 17 may be changed.

Further, for example, the enemy character 17 cannot go out of the movable area 55, but makes a long-distance attack from the inside of the movable area 55 to attack the ally character 13 outside the movable area 55. May be good. In such a case, the start condition determination processing unit 21 starts the battle when the enemy character 17 located inside the movable area 55 attacks the ally character 13 located outside the movable area 55. It may be determined that the condition is satisfied.

Further, in the above, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 20 described above, a case where a close-up image of the enemy character 17 is displayed when the effect is performed by moving the virtual camera 47 has been described as an example, but the virtual camera 47 is an ally. You may perform an effect of displaying a close-up image of the ally character 13 closer to the character 13. For example, as described above, when the enemy character 17 in the movable area 55 attacks the ally character 13 outside the movable area 55, the virtual camera 47 is brought closer to the ally character 13, for example, the ally character 13 is the enemy character. You may describe how you staggered after receiving the first strike from 17.

Further, in the above, when the ally character 13 activates the special move and the attack start condition is satisfied, the effect is performed by displaying a two-dimensional image, and the ally character 13 attacks the enemy character 17 from outside the movable area. The case where the character 13 is executed or the ally character 13 is found by the enemy character 17 outside the movable area and the start condition of the battle is satisfied, and the effect is performed by displaying the close-up image of the character has been described as an example. Not limited to this. For example, contrary to the above, when the ally character 13 activates a special move and the attack start condition is satisfied, a close-up image of the character is displayed to produce an effect, and the ally character 13 is an enemy from outside the movable area. When the character 17 is attacked, or when the ally character 13 is found by the enemy character 17 outside the movable area and the start condition of the battle is satisfied, for example, an effect by displaying a two-dimensional image may be performed.

In addition to the above, the methods according to the above-described embodiment and each modification may be appropriately combined and used. In addition, although not illustrated one by one, the above-described embodiment and each modification are implemented with various modifications within a range that does not deviate from the purpose.
