  As shown in the figure, the game apparatus 10 is provided with a touch panel 14 on a display 13 so that it can detect a player's touch input. In a preferred embodiment, a touch panel (second touch panel) 15 is provided on the back surface of the game apparatus 10, that is, the surface without the display 13, but the second touch panel 15 may be provided depending on the embodiment of the present invention. It is not a required configuration. In addition, a control stick 16 is provided for the user to instruct directions. In addition, a plurality of operation buttons and the like are provided.

  Note that in this specification and the like, the “game device” is not limited to a portable game device. The game device includes a stationary game device, an arcade game device, and the like. Further, it is not limited to a dedicated game machine such as PlayStation Vita (registered trademark). For example, devices that can execute a game by installing game software or an application such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, and a PC are also included in the game device.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the game apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. The game apparatus 10 implements various functions to be described later by executing a predetermined program stored in the storage unit 12 by the processor 11. Any of these functions may be provided in the form of a computer program (so-called application), and may be installed or downloaded into the game apparatus 10 via a card slot (not shown), the Internet, or the like.

  The storage unit 12 stores various programs and data necessary for execution of processing in the processor 11. For example, it is composed of various memories, a hard disk, a removable memory card or a magneto-optical disk, and one or more other storage devices. The display 13 is a display device configured by liquid crystal, organic EL, or the like. The touch panel 14, the second touch panel 15, and the control stick 16 are input interfaces that receive input from the user made to the game apparatus 10.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the game apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. The game apparatus 10 has image display control means 31, sound output control means 32, detection means 33, determination means 34, feeling value calculation means 35, tension value calculation means 36, management means 37, and timer 38 as main functional configurations. Is provided.

  The image display control unit 31 has a function of controlling display of a character image and a background image. For example, the image display control unit 31 displays an image of the selected character on the display 13 and controls display of effects such as a touch location, a character expression, and a background image when an effect is generated.

  The sound output control means 32 has a function of controlling sound output. For example, the sound output control means 32 controls the output of effects such as the output of BGM and the voice sound of the character 41 when an effect occurs.

  The detecting means 33 has a function of detecting a position touched by the player and a touching method. For example, the detection unit 33 detects the touched position and the touch type when an object such as a player's finger touches the touch panel 14 and / or the second touch panel 15. As the touched position, for example, the coordinate position on the character image displayed at the position touched by the player is detected. As the touch type, a touch method such as tap, double tap, drag, pinch in / out is detected.

  The determination unit 34 determines whether or not the player has touched a part corresponding to the weak point of the character 41. For example, the determination unit 34 determines whether or not the detected touch has touched a predetermined point or area of the character 41 based on the touch position and type detected by the detection unit 33. In the present embodiment, the part corresponding to the weak point of the character 41 changes according to a predetermined algorithm.

  The feeling value calculation means 35 has a function of calculating the feeling value of the character 41. For example, the feeling value calculating unit 35 calculates the feeling value of the character 41 by a predetermined algorithm based on the determination result by the determining unit 34 and scratch data 50 described later.

  The tension value calculation unit 36 has a function of calculating the tension value of the mascot 44. For example, the tension value calculation unit 36 calculates the tension value of the mascot 44 by a predetermined algorithm based on the determination result by the determination unit 34 and the scratch data 50.

  The management unit 37 has a function of managing various items in the scratch game process. For example, the management unit 37 manages switching between an extreme mode and a normal mode described later, and processing in each mode, based on the feeling value of the character 41 and the tension value of the mascot 44. In the normal mode, the change of the position of the good spot is managed based on the feeling value, and it is determined whether or not the scratch mode is successful. Further, based on the tension value, the mode is switched to the extreme mode, and the processing in the extreme mode is controlled and managed.

  The timer 38 has a function of measuring elapsed time or remaining time. For example, the timer 38 measures the remaining time of a scratch game described later. It also measures the remaining time in Extreme mode and measures the time from one event to another.

  Next, the flow of processing in this embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, in a so-called card battle type game, the scratch game process is executed in the form of a sub game for powering up the card. That is, first, the player selects an arbitrary character from a plurality of characters (cards) held by the player. When a character is selected, a scratch game is performed on the selected character.

  FIG. 4 is an example of a screen displayed during the scratch game process in the present embodiment. During the scratch game process, an image of the character 41 selected by the player is displayed on the display 13. At this time, instead of displaying the entire image of the character 41 on the display 13 at a time, a part of the image of the character 41 is displayed on the display 13 and the player operates the control stick 16 to display the image. It is preferable that an image of a certain part can be moved in the input direction. In the example shown in FIG. 4, an image of the whole body is prepared as an image of the character 41, but a part of the image is displayed on the display 13 (the vertical direction is from the middle of the head to the bottom of the chest, and the horizontal direction is the right shoulder. To the left shoulder). When the player operates the control stick 16 downward, the displayed portion gradually moves downward, that is, toward the lower half of the body.

  The player can touch any part of the displayed image of the character 41. When the touched part is a part corresponding to the weak point of the character 41, the feeling value of the character 41 is increased and a predetermined effect is executed.

  In this specification and the like, “touch” is realized when the player touches the touch panel 14 or 15, but a predetermined portion of the character image 41 displayed on the display 13 is displayed on the touch panel 14 or 15. Including virtually touching through the screen.

  In the present embodiment, multiple types of touches are detected. For example, as an example, four touch types of tap, double tap, drag, and pinch in / out are detected. A tap is an operation of tapping the touch panel once with a finger. The double tap is an operation of tapping the touch panel with a finger twice continuously. Dragging is an operation of moving a finger without releasing the finger from the touch panel, and includes an operation of reciprocating the finger at a predetermined location. Pinch-in / out is an operation of using two fingers to pinch or spread a predetermined part on the touch panel.

  The feeling value of the character 41 is increased by touching a predetermined part (good spot) of the character 41 or touching the predetermined part (good spot) with a specific touch type. A good spot is a weak spot such as a chest or a leg that is set for each character. Further, in this specification and the like, touching a good spot with a specific touch type is referred to as holy touch.

  Various methods can be adopted as an algorithm for increasing and decreasing the feeling value. For example, if you continue touching the Good Spot or Holy Touch, the feeling value will increase every x seconds, and after y seconds, 1% of the maximum feeling value will decrease every z seconds, but within y seconds If the touch to the good spot or the holey touch is performed, the descent can be canceled.

  In addition, even in the same part, how to increase the feeling value can be changed depending on how to touch. In this embodiment, the way of increasing the feeling value is different between the holy touch and the other touches.

  The feeling value of the character 41 can be confirmed by the degree of accumulation of the gauge 42 on the display 13. The feeling value at the start is zero. The success or failure of the scratch game is determined by whether or not the gauge 42 can be full within the time limit, that is, whether or not the character's feeling value can be maximized. If the feeling value can be increased to the maximum value, it is a success and a successful production is generated. On the other hand, if the feeling value of the character 41 cannot be increased to the maximum value within the time limit, it is a failure and a failure effect is generated.

  The touch type of good spot or holy touch is preset as scratch data 50 in the database of the storage unit 12.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the scratch data 50 defined in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the scratch data 50 is determined for each character as a holey touch when the character's feeling value 51, the good spot portion 52 in the feeling value, and the good spot are touched. A specific touch type 53 is associated.

  In the example shown in the figure, for a character with a character ID of 1, when the feeling value is between 0 and 20%, the shoulder and chest are good spots. That is, for the character, when the feeling value is 0 to 20%, touching the shoulder or chest increases the feeling value. For the shoulder, the tap is set to the specific touch type, and for the chest, the drag is set to the specific touch type. Therefore, when the character has a feeling value of 0 to 20%, if the tap or the chest is dragged to the shoulder, it is determined that the character is a holy touch.

  In this way, one or more good spots indicating weak spots are set according to the feeling value of each character. Since the site of the weak point changes according to the feeling value, in order to increase the feeling value to the maximum value, it is necessary to touch a plurality of sites in order, and the interest is further enhanced. Further, for each good spot, a specific touch type that is determined as a holey touch is set. Thereby, the motivation to touch various parts by various methods is increased, and the interest is further increased.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of an effect when the character 41 is touched in the present embodiment. The figure is an example of an effect when the chest of the character 41 is touched.

  When the character 41 is touched, a predetermined effect is performed. At this time, the effect is changed depending on the way of touch. That is, different effects are generated for each touch type of tap, double tap, drag, drag, and pinch in / out.

  In addition to this, when a good spot is touched and when a good spot is touched by a hole, a specific effect is further generated. For example, when a good spot is touched, in addition to a normal effect, a heart mark or the like is additionally displayed at the touched location. In addition, when a good spot is touched by a hole, in addition to a normal effect, the heart mark is displayed more vigorously than the heart mark when the good spot is touched. These effects are displayed as long as they are touched.

  In addition to these effects, when a good spot is touched or holy touched, it is preferable to change the voice voice or facial expression image of the character 41 or change the background image.

  Further, as the feeling value increases, effects such as the background image, the voice voice of the character, and the facial expression image are changed. These effects can be changed when a predetermined feeling value is reached, such as 20%, 60%, 80%, etc., relative to the maximum feeling value.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the remaining time 43 of the scratch processing is displayed in the upper right of the screen. The remaining time 43 is displayed in real time in a countdown manner. For example, if the feeling value of the character 41 cannot be increased to the maximum value within the time limit of 60 seconds, the character is treated as a failure and a failure effect is generated. Also, in the last 10 seconds of the time limit, effects such as screen display and BGM are changed to notify the player that the remaining time is short.

  The mascot 44 displayed at the upper left of the screen is configured such that the tension value increases when the player performs a holy touch on a good spot. For example, the mascot 44 is prepared in advance with five levels of images according to the tension value. When the player continues to carry out the holy touch on the good spot of the character 41, the tension value of the mascot 44 gradually increases, and an image corresponding to the tension value is displayed.

  For example, if a good spot is touched by a hole, the tension of the mascot 44 is increased by one step. The tension value of the mascot 44 decreases by one step every time w seconds elapses. During that time, when the player touches or holy touches the good spot, the clock for elapse of a predetermined time is reset. When the tension value of the mascot 44 reaches the maximum value, the state shifts to the extreme mode in which the feeling value of the character 41 can be increased at a stretch.

  During the extreme mode, extreme effects such as displaying a dedicated background image are generated. In the extreme mode, the remaining time may not be decreased. In the present embodiment, during the extreme mode, the feeling value can be greatly increased by simultaneously dragging the touch panel 14 on the display 13 and the second touch panel 15 on the back of the main body up and down. After a certain period of time has passed since the transition to the extreme mode, after the end effect is generated, the extreme mode is terminated and the normal game mode is entered. At this time, the feeling value is increased according to the total movement distance of the drag detected by the touch panel 14 and the second touch panel 15.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of the scratch game process in the present embodiment.

  In the scratch game process, first, the image display control means 31 displays a part of the image of the character 41 selected by the player on the display 13 as shown in FIG. 4 (S71).

  The player operates the control stick 16 to appropriately move a portion displayed on the display 13 in the image of the character 41 and touch a desired part. The detection means 33 detects the presence or absence of a touch (S72). If a touch is detected, the determination means 34 determines whether the touch is a good spot touch or a holey touch based on the position and type of the touch. It is discriminated whether or not, and the image display control means 31 and the audio output control means 32 generate an effect process according to the discrimination result (S73).

  Next, the feeling value calculation means 35 and the tension value calculation means 36 update the feeling value of the character 41 and the tension value of the mascot 44, respectively (S74).

  The management unit 37 determines whether or not the tension value of the mascot 44 has reached the maximum value. If the tension value has reached the maximum value, the management unit 37 shifts to the extreme mode (S76). If the tension value has not reached the maximum value, the normal mode is continued. When the extreme mode ends, the normal mode is restored.

  Further, the management unit 37 refers to the scratch data 50 stored in the storage unit 12 to determine whether or not the feeling value of the character 41 has reached a predetermined value (S77), and has reached the predetermined value. In this case, the position of the good spot is changed (S78).

  Further, the management means 37 determines whether or not the feeling value of the character 41 has reached the maximum value (S79), and when it reaches the maximum value, a success effect is generated and the scratch game is successful. And the process is terminated (S80). On the other hand, if the feeling value has not reached the maximum value, the remaining time of the timer 38 is referred to (S81), and if the remaining time is present, the above-described processing is repeated. If the remaining time runs out, a failure effect is generated, and the process ends as a scratch game failure (S82).

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. For this reason, the said embodiment is only a mere illustration in all points, and is not interpreted limitedly. For example, the above-described processing steps can be executed in any order or in parallel as long as there is no contradiction in the processing contents.

  In the above embodiment, the game apparatus 1 having the control stick 16 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to the control stick 16 and any input means can be employed. For example, various direction keys can be used instead of the control stick 16. Instead of being configured by hardware, an image such as a button for instructing an operation direction may be displayed on the display 13, and the control stick 16 may be configured by software by touch input using the touch panel 14. .

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the touch was divided into 2 types, a holey touch and other touches, you may change how the feeling value increases for every touch type. In this case, in the scratch data 50, the degree of change in feeling value when a good spot is touched may be set for each touch type.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the good spot of the character is set in the scratch data 50, the character is set with the name of the part or the like. However, any other setting method can be adopted. For example, a good spot region or point may be set using coordinates on the character image.

  In the above embodiment, the position of the good spot is changed according to the feeling value. However, the position of the good spot may be changed according to the remaining time, the tension value, and other parameters.
