It is a process to proceed. Further, when the player team loses the battle, the defeat effect processing is performed, and when the player team wins, the victory effect processing is performed. This game process will be described later in detail.

  In the present embodiment, the game realized by the game process is a baseball game, the battles are played four times in total, and the fourth round is the final game. Each of the player team and the COM team is composed of nine characters.

  In the COM team strengthening process, a high ability character (hereinafter referred to as a “selected high ability character”) determined with reference to the high ability character selection standard table 63 based on the selected one selection standard is referred to as a COM team. This is a process for strengthening the COM team by adding one by one and leaving the selected high-capacity characters already present in the COM team in the previous battle. This COM team strengthening process will be described later in detail.

  The image data 611 is data in which model data and the current position are associated with each character as shown in FIG. The character is composed of a captain character indicated by Captain A to Captain J, and a sub character indicated by Sub A to Sub N, and the Captain character is a character with high overall ability. The captain character is a character that can become a captain of the player team by being selected by the player.

  The model data is data for modeling the character in the game space, and includes motion data, texture data, and the like. The current position is a position coordinate of the character in the game space.

  The ability value data 613 is data in which various abilities and levels are set for each character as shown in FIG. The abilities are composed of “pitcher power”, “batting power”, “running power”, and the like as abilities required in the baseball game, and the height of the ability is expressed by an ability value from 0 to 100. . Further, the level is represented by 6 levels of S and A to E, where the level S is the highest and the level E is the lowest. In particular, the level S is a level that is set for a character having a generally high ability, each ability value being equal to or greater than a predetermined ability value. For example, Captain A has a pitcher power of “80”, batting power of “87”, and running power of “90”, and the level is set to S. Of the characters, the level S is set for the captain character, and any of levels A to E is set for the sub character.

  The high ability character selection reference table 63 is a table in which high ability characters are associated with the selection reference as shown in FIG. In the game process, one selection criterion is selected at random, and the high ability character associated with the selected selection criterion is determined as the selection high ability character. The selection criteria can be broadly divided into “rivals” and “abilities”.

  According to the selection standard “rival”, the rivals of each captain character (hereinafter referred to as “rival characters”) are set as high-performance characters, and four captain characters excluding themselves are selected from all the captain characters. Is set. For example, there are four rival characters for Captain A: Captain C, Captain G, Captain I, and Captain J. In an actual game, for example, when the player selects Captain A as the captain of the player team, and the selection criterion selected at random is “rival”, these four rival characters are selected as the selection height. Determined as an ability character. Since all the rival characters are captain characters, the ability with the level set to S is a comprehensively high character.

  In the selection standard “ability”, characters with high abilities in each ability are set as high ability characters, and four characters (capital) whose ability value is equal to or higher than a predetermined ability value are set among all characters. Yes. For example, there are four characters with high “batting strength”: Captain D, Captain F, Sub E, and Sub N. In the actual game, for example, when the randomly selected sorting standard is “batting power” of “abilities”, these four characters are determined to be selected high-performance characters. However, if any of the four characters is already included in the player team at the stage of forming the player team, one ability other than “batting force” is selected at random.

  The player team organization data 65 is data for team organization of a player team composed of a total of nine people including one captain character and eight sub characters, and is data created based on the character selected by the player. .

  Similarly, the COM team organization data 67 is data on a COM team organization composed of a total of nine people, and is data that is updated for each battle after it is created in the first game. Each time the player team wins a battle, one selected high-performance character is selected and added to the COM team, and all characters other than the selected high-performance characters already existing in the COM team are determined from the sub-characters.

Next, the operation will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of game processing executed in the consumer game device 1200 when the game program 50 is read and executed by the processing unit 20.

  First, the processing unit 20 displays the captain character on the display unit 30 (step A1), selects one captain character according to the selection operation input by the player, and sets it as the captain of the player team (step A3).

  Next, the processing unit 20 displays the sub characters on the display unit 30 (step A5), selects the remaining members from the sub characters according to the player's selection operation input, and forms a player team (step A7). Team organization data 65 is created.

  Next, the processing unit 20 randomly selects one sorting criterion (step A9), and causes the display unit 30 to display the selected sorting criterion (step A11). However, as described above, when the selection criterion “ability” is selected, four characters (characters that do not exist in the player team) that are not included in the player team organization data 65 are among the abilities set as high-performance characters. Choose one ability at random.

  Next, the processing unit 20 determines a selected high-performance character by referring to the high-performance character selection standard table 63 based on the selection standard selected in Step A9 (Step A13). And the process part 20 performs a COM team reinforcement | strengthening process by reading and executing the COM team reinforcement | strengthening program 51 (step A15).

  Next, the processing unit 20 performs a battle process in which the player team formed in step A7 and the COM team formed / strengthened by the COM team strengthening process in step A15 are played in baseball (step A17). In addition, since the process concerning this battle | competition is the same as the well-known battle process, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Then, the processing unit 20 determines whether or not the player team has won in the battle (step A19). If it is determined that the player team has not won (step A19; No), the defeat effect processing is performed (step A19; No). Step A21), the game process is terminated. In the defeat effect production process, for example, a process of producing a defeat of the player team such as display of a continue screen or display of a game over screen is performed.

  If it is determined in step A19 that the player team has won (step A19; Yes), the processing unit 20 determines whether or not the four-time battle has ended (step A23). If it is determined that the four-time match has not ended (step A23; No), the process returns to step A15. If it is determined that the match has ended (step A23; Yes), the processing unit 20 wins. An effect process is performed (step A25), and the game process is terminated. In the winning effect process, for example, a process of producing a victory for the player team, such as displaying an ending screen, is performed.

Next, the flow of the COM team strengthening process will be described.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of the COM team strengthening process executed in the consumer game device 1200 when the processing unit 20 reads and executes the COM team strengthening program 51.

  First, the processing unit 20 reads the selected high-performance character from the high-performance character selection reference table 63 (step B1), and determines whether or not the battle to be performed is the first battle (step B3).

  In step B3, when it is determined that the battle is the first match (step B3; Yes), the processing unit 20 selects one selected high ability character from the selected high ability characters read in step B1. It adds to a COM team (step B5), and transfers a process to step B11.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step B3 that the battle is not the first match (step B3; No), characters other than the selected high-performance character already existing in the COM team are deleted from the COM team organization data 67 (step B3). B7) The selected high-performance character is left in the COM team. Then, the processing unit 20 selects one of the selected high-performance characters other than the selected high-performance character from the selected high-performance characters read out in step B1 and adds it to the COM team (step B9).

  Next, the processing unit 20 sets the selected high ability character added in Step B5 or B9 as the captain of the COM team (Step B11). Then, the processing unit 20 randomly determines members of the COM team other than the selected high ability character remaining in the COM team and the added selected high ability character from the sub characters (step B13), and the COM team organization data 67 is created / updated, and the COM team strengthening process is terminated.

Next, the processing so far will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 7 shows a case where Captain A is selected by the player as the captain of the player team (Step A3 in FIG. 5) and “Rival” is selected as the selection criterion (Step A9 in FIG. 5). It is the figure which showed the mode of the member change for every battle | competition. In this case, the selected high-performance characters are Captain C, Captain G, Captain I, and Captain J, which are rivals of Captain A (Step A13 in FIG. 5).

  In the first round, Captain C is selected and added to the COM team (step B3 in FIG. 6; Yes → B5), and is the captain of the COM team (step B11 in FIG. 6). Further, as the members other than the captain C, the remaining eight people are randomly determined from the sub-characters (step B13 in FIG. 6).

  Similarly, in the second round, Captain C added in the first round remains in the COM team as it is (Step B3 in FIG. 6; No → B7), and Captain I is newly selected and added to the COM team (Step B9 in FIG. 6). ), The captain of the COM team (step B11 in FIG. 6). Further, as the members of the COM team other than Captain I and Captain C, the remaining seven people are randomly determined from the sub characters (step B13 in FIG. 6).

  Similarly, in the final game, Captain G, Captain I, and Captain C added up to the third round remain in the COM team (Step B3 in FIG. 6; No → B7), and Captain J becomes a new COM team. It is selected / added (step B7 in FIG. 6) and becomes the captain of the COM team (step B11 in FIG. 6). Further, as the members of the COM team other than the four selected high-performance characters, the remaining five characters are randomly determined from the sub characters (step B13 in FIG. 6).

Next, a case where another sorting criterion is selected will be described as an example.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing how the members of the COM team change each match when “batting force” is selected from the selection criteria “ability” (step A9 in FIG. 5). In this case, the selected high-performance characters are Captain D, Captain F, Sub E, and Sub N, which are the top four “batting power” (step A13 in FIG. 5).

  In the first round, the sub N is selected / added to the COM team (step B3 in FIG. 6; Yes → B5) and is the captain of the COM team (step B11 in FIG. 6). Further, as the members other than the sub N, the remaining eight people are randomly determined from the sub characters (step B13 in FIG. 6).

  Similarly, in the second round, the sub N added in the first round remains as it is in the COM team (step B3 in FIG. 6; No → B7), and a new sub E is selected and added to the COM team (step B9 in FIG. 6). ), The captain of the COM team (step B11 in FIG. 6). Further, as the members of the COM team other than the sub E and the sub N, the remaining seven people are randomly determined from the sub characters (step B13 in FIG. 6).

  Similarly, in the final game, Sub N, Sub E and Captain F added up to the third round remain in the COM team (Step B3 in FIG. 6; No → B7), and Captain D becomes the COM team. It is selected / added (step B7 in FIG. 6) and becomes the captain of the COM team (step B11 in FIG. 6). Further, as the members of the COM team other than the four selected high-performance characters, the remaining five characters are randomly determined from the sub characters (step B13 in FIG. 6).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the player team is organized according to the player operation, and the battle process is performed in which the organized player team and the COM team battle each other. Each time the player team wins the battle, the COM The team can be strengthened. For example, in the selection standard “rival”, in addition to the rival character that the player felt strong in the previous battle remaining in the COM team in the next battle, another rival character that seems to be strong is the COM team. You should notice that it has been added. Therefore, it is possible to create a new interest in team formation and make the game more interesting.

  In the COM team weakening process, when the battle between the player team and the COM team is the first match (step B3 in FIG. 6; corresponding to Yes), all the selected high-performance characters are added to the COM team at once (see FIG. 6 (corresponding to step B5 in FIG. 6), if the battle is not the first battle (corresponding to step B3 in FIG. 6; No), processing for selecting / removing one selected high ability character from the COM team is performed (step B9 in FIG. 6). Corresponding).

  By weakening the COM team in this way, the player can feel a sense of relief in order to visually recognize that the selected high-performance character that he felt strong in the previous match was excluded from the computer team in the next match. , You will find the game interesting.

(2) Change in number of additions / reductions In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the selected high-performance character is added to the COM team one by one for each battle. However, the number of additions is not limited to this. Instead, it is of course possible to add a predetermined number of people, for example, two or more. Specifically, a large number of high-performance characters are set in advance in the high-performance character selection reference table 63, and a predetermined number of selected high-performance characters are selected and added to the COM team at one time in the COM team strengthening process ( (Corresponding to steps B5 and B9 in FIG. 6).

  Moreover, you may decide to change the number of people added based on each battle result. For example, if the score difference is large in each match, the player team is much stronger than the COM team. Therefore, in such a case, the number of people added to the COM team is increased, and the degree of strengthening the COM team is increased. On the contrary, when the difference between the points is small, the strengths of the player team and the COM team are balanced. Therefore, in such a case, the number of people added to the COM team is reduced, and the degree of strengthening the COM team is reduced.

  Thus, the degree to which the COM team is strengthened can be adjusted by changing the number of selected high-performance characters added to the COM team. It should be noted that the same change can be made for the number of selected high-capacity characters to be reduced from the COM team for each battle, as described in (1) Weakness of the COM team.

(3) Setting of rival character In the above-described embodiment, the rival character is a captain character, and the level is set to S, and it is described as a character having a high overall ability. If the rival character is set in consideration of the story of the game, such as an evil character, the game will be even more interesting.

(4) Application to other games In the above-described embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a baseball game has been described as an example. However, for example, the present invention can be applied to other team battle games such as a soccer game or a team fighting game. Applicable.
