The program stored in the storage 15 can be downloaded and installed from the application market or the like. In the present embodiment, the program stored in the storage 15 includes the game program 40 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The game program 40 is a program for making the user terminal 10 function as a device for providing a game.

In the present embodiment, the user terminal 10 can be configured as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a wearable device, a personal computer, a game-dedicated terminal, a VR (Virtual Reality) device (head-mounted display, etc.) and the like.

Like the user terminal 10, the game management server 30 has a configuration as a general computer. The game management server 30 stores and manages information about the game provided by the user terminal 10. For example, the game management server 30 manages the progress of the game for each player, game data (for example, game data for each stage, etc.) and the like. The game management server 30 may be configured using a plurality of server devices, each of which has a configuration as a general computer.

For example, the user terminal 10 acquires the progress status and game data of the player's game from the game management server 30 in response to the activation of the game program 40. Further, for example, the user terminal 10 acquires game data from the game management server 30 (for example, after clearing a specific stage, then acquires game data of a subsequent stage) while the game program 40 is being executed. , The latest game progress of the player is transmitted to the game management server 30.

Next, the function of the user terminal 10 of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically showing the functions of the user terminal 10. As shown in the figure, the user terminal 10 has an information storage management unit 41 that stores and manages information, and a game progress control unit 43 that controls the progress of the game. These functions are realized by the hardware such as the CPU 11 and the main memory 12, and various programs (including the game program 40) and data stored in the storage 15 and the like operating in cooperation with each other. For example, it is realized by the CPU 11 executing an instruction included in the program read in the main memory 12. Further, a part or all of the functions shown in FIG. 2 may be realized by the cooperation of the user terminal 10 and the game management server 30, or may be realized by the game management server 30.

The information storage management unit 41 stores and manages various information in the storage 15 and the like. The game progress control unit 43 executes various processes related to controlling the progress of the game. For example, the game progress control unit 43 executes various processes related to the progress of the game, and displays various screens according to the results of the processes.

In the present embodiment, the game progress control unit 43 presents a predetermined screen for playing the game to the player, and automatically performs an action to be executed by the player character in the automatic mode in which the player character automatically acts. It is configured to control the player character to identify and perform the identified action. For example, in the manual mode, the game progress control unit 43 controls the player character based on the operation by the player, while in the automatic mode, the action is automatically specified and the player character is repeatedly executed.

Further, the game progress control unit 43 is configured to display on a predetermined screen a first object that is at least displayed based on the automatically specified action in the automatic mode. The predetermined screen displays, for example, an image according to the progress of the game, and typically displays an image of the game space in which the player character acts.

As described above, the user terminal 10 of the present embodiment displays the first object to be displayed based on the automatically specified action on a predetermined screen in the automatic mode in which the player character automatically acts. , The player can know the information based on the action executed by the player character through the first object. As a result, the player can easily grasp the purpose of the action of the player character.

In the present embodiment, the game progress control unit 43 can be configured to specify the movement to a specific destination in the game space as an action to be executed by the player character, and in this case, the first object is. It can be configured to at least make a display based on the destination of the move. For example, the game progress control unit 43 specifies a specific destination from a plurality of destinations existing in the game space as a destination to which the player character moves, and the first object has the first destination. The first display is made when the destination (for example, an enemy character) is, while the second display is made when the destination of movement is a second destination (for example, a treasure chest). It is configured as follows. Such a configuration assists the player in grasping the destination of the moving player character.

Further, the game progress control unit 43 can be configured to automatically specify the action to be executed by the player character according to the action specifying rule set from the plurality of action specifying rules. In this case, the first action is specified. Objects can be configured to at least display based on the behavior-specific rules that have been set. For example, the first object is displayed third when the action specifying rule is the first rule, while the fourth display is displayed when the action specifying rule is the second rule. It is configured as follows. Such a configuration assists the player in understanding the action-specific rules.

Further, the first object may be configured to at least make a display based on the state of the game. For example, the first object is configured to be displayed based on the state of the player character (including the remaining amount of HP, etc.), the state of the enemy character, the progress of the game, and the like. Such a configuration assists the player in grasping the state of the game.

In this embodiment, the first object may include various types of objects capable of displaying information in various aspects. For example, the first object is configured as an object that displays information by an animation of a predetermined character. Further, for example, the first object is configured as an object that displays information using characters, symbols, figures, and the like.

Further, the game progress control unit 43 may be configured to slow down the progress speed of the game for a predetermined period when the display of the first object is changed. For example, the game progress control unit 43 may be configured to slow down the movement speed of the player character during the predetermined period. Such a configuration assists the player in timingly canceling the automatic mode, for example, when the behavior of the player character changes (one action is completed and the next action is started).

In this embodiment, the automatic mode may be configured to start and end in response to a predetermined operation by the player. For example, the game progress control unit 43 starts an automatic mode in response to an operation of maintaining a touch state for a second object arranged on a predetermined screen, and cancels the touch state for the second object. The automatic mode may be terminated in response to the operation of, and the automatic mode may be maintained in response to the second operation of canceling the touch state with respect to the second object. For example, the first operation is an operation of canceling the touch state without a predetermined operation (for example, a swipe operation), and the second operation is an operation of canceling the touch state via a predetermined operation. .. In this case, the game progress control unit 43 arranges the first object at the first position on the predetermined screen according to the start of the automatic mode, and positions the first object according to the maintenance of the automatic mode. It may be configured to change from a first position to a second position. Such a configuration makes it possible to place the first object at an appropriate position depending on the presence or absence of a touch state with respect to the second object.

The game in the present embodiment includes various types of games having an automatic mode in which the player character automatically acts, and includes, for example, an RPG, a card battle game, an action game, a shooting game, and the like.

Next, the operation of the user terminal 10 of the present embodiment having such a function will be described with reference to a specific example according to the present embodiment. In this example, the game provided by the user terminal 10 is an RPG in which a player character explores a game space, fights with an enemy character existing in the game space, and collects items also existing in the game space. Is. The game space is configured as a dungeon consisting of a plurality of floors, and defeating the boss character existing on the deepest floor is a condition for clearing the dungeon (stage).

Further, the game of this example is configured as a turn-based RPG in which the turn in which the player character acts and the turn in which the enemy character acts are alternately and repeatedly performed. Such RPGs are sometimes referred to as roguelike games.

FIG. 3 illustrates a map of a particular floor in a dungeon in this example. As shown in the figure, one floor is composed of a plurality of rooms R (six rooms R1-R6 in the example of FIG. 3) and a passage P connecting the plurality of rooms R. Further, in the example of FIG. 3, of the six rooms R, the entrance IN (stairs between the floor and the upper floor) of this floor is arranged in the room R1, and the exit OUT of this floor is arranged in the room R6. The stairs between the floor below) are located. Enemy characters and / or treasure chests are arranged in at least a part of the plurality of rooms R.

FIG. 4 illustrates a game screen (predetermined screen) 50 displayed on the user terminal 10. The game screen 50 is a screen for playing a game, and as shown in the figure, a game space display area 52 for displaying an image of the game space and an automatic button (located in the lower right corner of the screen and having a double circle shape). It has a second object) 541, a tool button 542 located on the left side of the automatic button 541, and an HP gauge 543 located on the left side of the tool button 542 and indicating the remaining amount of HP of the player character.

As shown in FIG. 4, the game space display area 52 displays an image of a game space in a predetermined range including the player character PC, and the range of the displayed game space is changed as the player character PC moves. Will be done. FIG. 4 illustrates a game screen 50 when the player character PC is located in a specific room R, and an enemy character EC and a treasure box B existing in the room R are displayed in the game space display area 52. Has been done.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, grid-shaped (lattice-shaped) squares are displayed in the game space display area 52. When the player taps the square, the player character PC moves to the position of the square. In this way, the game space display area 52 is configured so that a movement command for the player character PC is input.

Further, when the player performs a tap operation on the enemy character EC while the player character PC is adjacent to the enemy character EC, the player character PC attacks the enemy character EC. As described above, the game space display area 52 is configured to input an attack command to the player character PC.

In addition, the enemy character is damaged by the attack on the enemy character. The damage is calculated based on, for example, a comparison of parameter values (for example, attack power, defense power, etc.) set for each other character, and the calculated damage is reduced from the HP of the enemy character. As a result of the attack, when the enemy character is defeated (for example, the HP of the enemy character becomes 0), the enemy character disappears and the player character obtains rewards such as experience points.

Further, when the player character PC passes the position of the treasure box B, the player character PC acquires the item set in the treasure box B.

The automatic button 541 is an object for performing an operation related to the automatic mode. The operation for the automatic button 541 will be described later.

The tool button 542 is an object for inputting an item use command to the player character. When the player taps the tool button 542, a screen for selecting an item to be used from the items owned by the player character is displayed, and the item selected via the screen is used by the player character. .. With the use of the item, for example, the parameter value of the player character changes (for example, the attack power, the attack power, or the HP increases), or a special attack on the enemy character is performed. The special attack is, for example, an attack having a wider attackable range and / or a large amount of damage as compared with a normal attack.

FIG. 5 illustrates a game screen 50 when the player character PC is located in the passage P. As shown in the figure, when the player character PC is located in the passage P, the game space display area 52 is such that only the range of eight squares around the player character PC can be visually recognized. Display the image.

FIG. 6 illustrates a game screen 50 in a state where the player character PC moves downward from the state of FIG. 5 and enters a specific room R. As shown in the figure, when the player character PC enters the room R from the passage P, the range corresponding to the room R becomes visible in the game space display area 52, and the range corresponding to the passage P becomes invisible.

As described above, the game of this example is configured as a turn-based RPG, and one turn of the player character ends with one movement of one square or one attack. One turn of the enemy character ends with the same movement of one square or one attack. The turn of the enemy character may end without doing anything. In the normal manual mode, the player character PC acts (moves or attacks) in response to a tap operation on the game space display area 52 by the player, and the turn of the player character and the enemy character progresses in order with the action.

Here, an automatic mode in which the player character automatically acts will be described. In the game of this example, when the player performs a long tap operation (an operation of maintaining the touch state for a predetermined period) on the automatic button 541, the automatic mode is started.

FIG. 7 illustrates a game screen 50 when the automatic mode is started. As shown, a circular live object (first object) 546 is placed above the HP gauge 543 in response to the start of the automatic mode. The live object 546 is an object for notifying the player of the game situation in the automatic mode, and an animation of the live character according to the game situation is displayed. Further, as shown in the figure, in the game screen 50 in the automatic mode, the display mode (for example, color) of the outer annular portion of the double circle-shaped automatic button 541 changes.

In the automatic mode, the player character automatically acts according to a preset action policy (behavior identification rule). There are three action policies in this example, "normal", "battle avoidance", and "exit priority", and the default action policy is "normal". The operation for changing the action policy will be described later.

"Normal" is an action policy of defeating all enemy characters in all rooms on the floor and acquiring all items. In addition, "battle avoidance" is an action policy that acquires all items in all rooms, but avoids battles with enemy characters. In addition, "Exit priority" is an action policy that moves so that the length of the route to the exit of the floor is the shortest, defeats all enemy characters, and acquires all items for the passing room. Is. For example, in the map illustrated in FIG. 3, when the player character is located in the room R1, the route when the action policy is "exit priority" is in the order of the rooms R1, R3, R4, and R6. Rooms R2 and R5 do not pass.

In this example, when the player character is located in the room, the actions that the player character can perform are "move to the exit of the room", "move to the enemy character (battle)", and "move to the treasure chest (of the item). Acquisition) ”. The action to be executed by the player character is automatically specified according to the set action policy.

Specifically, for example, when the action policy is "normal" or "exit priority", the player character fights against all enemy characters placed in the room, and all treasure chest items. To collect. More specifically, "moving to the enemy character (battle)" or "moving to the treasure box (acquiring an item)" is repeatedly executed in order from the position of the player character. For example, in the example of FIG. 4, first, the player character PC moves to the nearby enemy character EC to perform a battle, and then moves to the treasure box B to acquire an item. Then, when all the enemy characters in the room are defeated and all the treasure chest items are acquired, "Move to the exit of the room" is executed. If there are a plurality of room exits, the moving exit is the exit in the direction of the next room to be visited.

Also, for example, if the action policy is "battle avoidance", the player character collects all the treasure chest items placed in the room. More specifically, "moving to the treasure box (acquiring an item)" is repeatedly executed in order from the position of the player character. Then, when all the treasure chest items in the room are acquired, "Move to the exit of the room" is executed.

Here, when the player character PC is located in the room R, the live object 546 is displayed corresponding to the action being executed. FIG. 8 shows an example of the correspondence between the behavior of the player character and the display content of the live object 546. As shown in the figure, while the player character PC is executing "move to the exit of the room", the "normal effect" is performed on the live object 546. The normal production is, for example, an animation in which a live character walks.

Further, while the player character PC is executing the "movement to the enemy character (battle)", the "battle effect" is performed on the live object 546. The battle effect is, for example, an animation in which a live character swings a weapon. It should be noted that the animation may be different depending on the period during which the player character PC is moving to the enemy character EC and the period during the battle (the period during which they attack each other).

Further, while the player character PC is executing the "move to the treasure box (acquire the item)", the "item discovery effect" is performed on the live object 546. The item discovery effect is, for example, an animation in which a live character opens a treasure chest. The animation may be different depending on the period of movement to the treasure chest and the time when the item is acquired (when the treasure chest is reached).

As described above, when the player character PC is located in the room R, the live object 546 displays an animation of the live character corresponding to the action (destination of movement) being executed by the player character PC. Therefore, the player can grasp the purpose (destination of movement) of the action of the player character PC via the live object 546.

The player character who goes out of the room to the aisle moves to the next room. The next room to be moved to will be identified according to the Code of Conduct. For example, if the action policy is "normal", the room closest to the room where the enemy character or the treasure chest (the item has not been acquired) remains is the room to move to next. If there is no room with an enemy character or treasure chest, the room with the floor exit will be the next room to move to.

Also, for example, if the action policy is "battle avoidance", the room closest to the room where the treasure chest remains will be the room to move to next. If there is no room with a treasure chest left, the room with the floor exit will be the next room to move to. Further, for example, when the action policy is "exit priority", the room to be moved next is specified according to the route to the exit of the floor having the shortest length.

Here, when the player character PC is located in the passage P, the live object 546 is displayed corresponding to the set action policy. FIG. 9 shows an example of the correspondence between the set action policy and the display content of the live object 546. As shown in the figure, when the set action policy is "normal", the "normal effect" is performed in the live object 546. The normal production is, for example, an animation in which a live character walks.

If the set action policy is "battle avoidance", the "item search effect" is performed on the live object 546. The item search effect is, for example, an animation in which a live character examines the ground with a magnifying glass.

In addition, when the set action policy is "exit priority", "de-appearance" is performed in the live object 546. De-appearance is, for example, an animation in which a live character runs in a hurry.

As described above, when the player character PC is located in the passage P, the live object 546 displays the animation of the live character corresponding to the set action policy. Therefore, the player can grasp the action policy of the player character PC via the live object 546.

Further, in this example, when the HP of the player character PC becomes less than a predetermined value, the HP decreases in the live object 546 regardless of whether the player character PC is located in the room R or the passage P. An HP reduction effect is performed to inform the player that the player is present. However, the HP reduction effect differs depending on the set action policy. For example, when the action policy is "normal" or "exit priority", the animation in which the live character appeals to the player for HP recovery. Therefore, when the action policy is "combat avoidance", it is an animation in which the live character walks as if he / she is tired.

As described above, when the HP of the player character PC becomes less than the predetermined value, the live object 546 performs the HP reduction effect corresponding to the action policy. Therefore, the player can grasp the situation of the player character PC (including the seriousness of the decrease in HP) via the live object 546.

In the automatic mode as well, the turn of the player character and the turn of the enemy character are alternately and repeatedly performed as in the manual mode. That is, one turn of the player character ends with one movement or one attack of the player character, and one turn of the enemy character ends with the same movement of one square or one attack (of the enemy character). The turn may end without doing anything). In the automatic mode, the turn of the player character and the turn of the enemy character are alternately and repeatedly executed without any operation by the player, and the player sees the game progressing through the game space display area 52. ..

In this example, the automatic mode ends when the player releases the finger from the automatic button 541 (when the touch state is canceled). However, when the player releases his finger by swiping the automatic button 541 upward, the automatic mode is continued without ending (the automatic mode is fixed).

FIG. 10 illustrates an automatic button 541 that has been swiped upward from the touch state. As shown in the figure, in response to the upward swipe operation, the inner circle of the automatic button 541 is biased upward, and the strip-shaped display area 541A displayed as "fixed" is displayed on the upper side. When the player's finger is released in this state, the automatic mode is continued without ending.

FIG. 11 illustrates a game screen 50 in a state where the automatic mode is fixed. In this case, as shown, the position of the live object 546 is changed from the upper side of the HP gauge 543 to the upper side of the automatic button 541.

In this example, the live object 546 in the state where the automatic mode is fixed functions as an object for the player to change the action policy. The action policy is changed according to the direction of the flick operation on the live object 546. Specifically, for example, "normal" is set as an action policy according to a left flick operation on the live object 546, "battle avoidance" is set according to a downward flick operation, and the same right direction. "Exit priority" is set according to the flick operation of. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12, in response to a touch operation on the live object 546, a strip-shaped display area 546A (corresponding to "normal") and 546B (corresponding to "battle avoidance") corresponding to the direction of the flick operation. , And 546C (corresponding to "exit priority") may be displayed to guide the player to the action policy corresponding to the direction of the flick operation.

Here, as described above, in the state where the automatic mode is fixed, the position of the live object 546 is changed to the upper side of the automatic button 541, and the position is a position that is easy for the player to operate. .. Therefore, the operation of changing the action policy described above is also an easy operation for the player. Further, since the touch state with respect to the automatic button 541 is not maintained in the state where the automatic mode is fixed, it is suppressed that the live object 546 becomes difficult to see by the finger or the like of the player.

In the state where the automatic mode is fixed, the automatic mode ends in response to a tap operation at an arbitrary position in the game space display area 52.

In the above example, when the display of the live object 546 is changed, the progress speed of the game may be slowed down (for example, the movement speed of the player character PC may be slowed down). This makes it easier for the player to cancel the automatic mode at an appropriate timing.

In the above-mentioned example, the live object 546 may be displayed based on various game situations other than those described above. The display is, for example, a display based on the abnormal state (poison state, etc.) of the player character, a display based on the acquisition of all enemy characters in the room, and the acquisition of all treasure items, and the boss character. Including indications based on the above.

The user terminal 10 of the present embodiment described above defines a first object (for example, a live object 546) that is automatically displayed based on the specified action in the automatic mode in which the player character automatically acts. Since it is displayed on the screen (for example, the game screen 50), the player can know the information based on the action executed by the player character through the first object. As described above, the embodiment of the present invention assists the player in grasping the purpose of the action of the player character in the automatic mode in which the player character automatically acts.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the information managed by the game management server 30 is managed by the user terminal 10, and the functions of the game management server 30 can be integrated into the user terminal 10.

The processes and procedures described herein are implemented by software, hardware or any combination thereof, other than those expressly described.
