[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a game system 100 corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 100 includes a single terminal device 20 (computer device) used by a user (player). In FIG. 1, a configuration of a terminal device 20 </ b> A that is an example of a configuration of the terminal device 20 is illustrated. Further, the configuration of the game system 100 is not limited to this. For example, a user terminal device may be connected to a server device (video game processing server) via a communication network, and a video game service may be provided from the server device to the terminal device.

  The game system 100 has various functions for executing a video game in which the user operates the operation unit to cause the player object to execute a plurality of actions. In the video game (game) of the example of the present embodiment, when the user causes the player object to execute a plurality of actions in a predetermined execution order, a special effect occurs in the game.

  The terminal device 20 is managed by a player who plays a video game. For example, a video game such as a stationary game device, a personal computer, a mobile phone terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), or a portable game device can be executed. Consists of terminal devices.

  The terminal device 20 includes a control unit configured by an operation unit (touch panel, game pad, and the like) for executing a video game, a storage unit such as a hard disk drive, a CPU that executes the game and generates a game image, a game A display device (display unit) or the like for displaying an image is provided, but since it is a general configuration, detailed description thereof is omitted. Further, in the terminal device 20, software (game program) for executing a video game and controlling the progress of the game is stored in the storage unit.

  Next, the configuration of the terminal device 20A that is an example of the configuration of the terminal device 20 will be described. The terminal device 20A includes at least an object control unit 31 and an effect generation unit 32 for controlling the progress of the video game by executing a game program stored in the storage unit by the control unit.

  The object control unit 31 causes the player object to execute an action based on the operation information of the operation unit. That is, the player object is caused to execute an action instructed by the user via the operation unit. Note that the action in the example of the present embodiment may be any action as long as the action is executed by the player object. For example, an attack using a weapon, an attack technique such as a deadly technique having a higher attack power than a normal attack using a weapon, magic, an ability, use of an owned item, and the like are included. Ability means an action of a skill of a player object, and includes attack technique and magic. In addition, actions such as running are also included.

  The effect generating unit 32 generates a special effect in the game when the order of actions executed by the player object is a predetermined execution order. Note that information (order information) for specifying a predetermined execution order may be stored in the storage unit of the terminal device 20A, for example, included in the game data. Further, the order information may have any configuration as long as it is information that can specify the execution order.

  Next, the operation of the game system 100 (system 100) of this embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of effect control processing executed by the system 100. In the effect control process in this example, a process for generating the special effect described above is performed. Hereinafter, a case where the terminal device 20A executes the effect control process will be described as an example.

  The effect control process of this example is executed, for example, when the terminal device 20A receives operation information of the operation unit for causing the player object to perform an action. The action corresponding to the received operation information will be described as the current action, and the action that has already been executed or is currently being executed will be described as the previous action.

  In the effect control process, the terminal device 20A performs order determination (step S10). For example, it is determined whether or not the execution order of the previous action and the current action corresponds to a predetermined execution order. The content of the action up to the previous time may be stored in the storage unit as an action history at the timing of starting execution of each action up to the previous time, for example. What is necessary is just to determine this action based on the operation information of an operation part.

  If it is determined that the current action does not follow the predetermined execution order (step S11: NO), the terminal device 20A ends the effect control process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current action follows a predetermined execution order (step S11: YES), the terminal device 20A executes an effect generation process for generating a special effect in the game (step S12). For example, a special effect generation setting for generating a special effect is performed in accordance with the timing at which execution of the current action is started. Thereafter, the terminal device 20A may generate a special effect in accordance with the timing at which the execution of the current action is started based on the special effect generation setting.

  As described above, as one aspect of the first embodiment, since the terminal device 20A includes the object control unit 31 and the effect generation unit 32, the player object executes a plurality of actions in a predetermined execution order. In addition, special effects occur in the game. Therefore, the user causes the player object to execute an action in consideration of the execution order. Thereby, the user's strategy in the game in which the player object executes the action can be improved.

  In the example of the first embodiment described above, the terminal device 20A executes the game program to control the progress of the game, but is not particularly limited to this. For example, a game system including a server device and a terminal device may be used, and the server device may include at least the object control unit 31 and the effect generation unit 32 instead of the terminal device 20A.

  The server device includes a storage unit such as a hard disk drive (not shown) and a control unit configured with a CPU and the like. In addition, the server device controls the progress of the video game in the same manner as the terminal device 20 </ b> A by causing the control unit to execute the above-described game program stored in the storage unit. The server device includes a general configuration for controlling the progress of the video game, such as a control unit and a communication unit, but detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The server device does not execute a video game unlike the terminal device 20A. The server device includes, for example, a communication unit connected to an Internet line (communication network), and communicates with a terminal device that executes a video game. The server device receives an operation signal (operation information) or the like from the user (terminal device), and transmits information (image information or the like) related to game progress to the terminal device. A plurality of server devices may cooperate to execute the game program, and the server device and terminal device may cooperate to execute the game program (control the progress of the game).

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of operations of the server device and the terminal device when the server device executes the effect control process illustrated in FIG. 2.

  In the effect control process, the server device performs order determination (step S30). If it is determined that the current action does not follow the predetermined execution order (step S31: NO), the server device ends the effect control process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current action follows a predetermined execution order (step S31: YES), the server device executes an effect generation process for generating a special effect in the game (step S32), and an effect control process Exit.

  The server device transmits image information for generating one of a game image in which the effect generation processing is reflected and a game image in which the effect generation processing is not reflected to the terminal device according to the processing result. The terminal device outputs (displays on the display unit) a game image based on the received image information (step S40).

  The player objects in the example of the first embodiment described above include various objects that can be operated by the user, such as characters, avatars, and fighters.

  The special effect in the example of the first embodiment described above is an effect that occurs in the game on condition that the actions are executed in a predetermined execution order, and is different from the effect accompanying the action executed by the player object. It is. For example, there is an effect of increasing parameters such as the attack power and recovery power of the player object, and an effect of shortening a time (cool time) until an action once executed can be executed again.

  The generation timing of the special effect in the example of the first embodiment described above can be arbitrarily set according to the game. For example, it may be generated at the timing when the execution of the current action ends.

  The operation unit in the example of the first embodiment described above includes, for example, a touch panel provided on the display screen of the display unit. For example, an image of an execution button (operation button) for each action is displayed on the display unit, and the touch panel at a position corresponding to the operation button is tapped. Thereby, the action corresponding to the tapped operation button is executed by the player object.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a terminal device 20B that is an example of the terminal device 20. As illustrated in FIG. In this example, the terminal device 20B includes at least an object control unit 31B, an effect generation unit 32B, and an execution frame setting unit 33.

  In the example of the present embodiment, a plurality of action execution frames are associated with the player object. Action information is set in the action execution frame. The action information is information for specifying an action, and is identification information such as an action ID, for example. In addition, order information for specifying the execution order is also set in each action execution frame. The action execution frame and the order information are included in, for example, game data stored in the storage unit.

  The execution frame setting unit 33 sets action information for each of a plurality of action execution frames associated with the player object based on the operation information of the operation unit. What is necessary is just to memorize | store the setting content of the action information of each action execution frame in the memory | storage part of the terminal device 20B, for example.

  The object control unit 31B causes the player object to execute an action based on the operation information of the operation unit. The object control unit 31B in the example of the present embodiment causes the player object to execute an action corresponding to the action information in the action execution frame based on the operation information of the operation unit.

  The effect generating unit 32B generates a special effect in the game when the order of actions executed by the player object is a predetermined execution order. The effect generating unit 32B in the example of the present embodiment specifies a predetermined execution order based on the order information of the action execution frame of the action executed on the player object.

  Next, the operation of the game system 100 (system 100) of this embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of effect control processing executed by the system 100. In the effect control process in this example, a process for generating the special effect described above is performed. Hereinafter, a case where the terminal device 20B executes the effect control process will be described as an example. Note that the flowchart showing the operation of the server device is omitted from the viewpoint of avoiding repeated explanation.

  The effect control process of this example is executed, for example, when the terminal device 20B receives operation information of the operation unit for causing the player object to execute an action. The action corresponding to the received operation information will be described as the current action, and the action that has already been executed or is currently being executed will be described as the previous action.

  In the effect control process, the terminal device 20B performs order determination (step S10-B). In the example of the present embodiment, the terminal device 20B specifies the execution order of actions to be executed next to the previous action based on, for example, the order information set in the action execution frame of the previous action. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the current action is an action to be executed next to the previous action. Note that if the order information is not set in the action execution frame of the previous action, it may be determined that the current action is not the action to be executed next to the previous action.

  When it is determined that the current action does not follow the predetermined execution order (step S11: NO), the terminal device 20B ends the effect control process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current action follows a predetermined execution order (step S11: YES), the terminal device 20B executes an effect generation process for generating a special effect in the game (step S12).

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an execution frame setting process executed by the system 100. In the execution frame setting process in this example, a process for setting action information in the action execution frame described above is performed. Hereinafter, a case where the terminal device 20B executes the execution frame setting process will be described as an example.

  The execution frame setting process of this example is executed when the terminal device 20B receives operation information (start instruction) of the operation unit for starting the setting of the action execution frame, for example.

  In the execution frame setting process, the terminal device 20B determines whether or not the operation information of the operation unit for setting the action execution frame has been received (step S60). The operation information includes, for example, information on one action execution frame selected from among a plurality of action execution frames, and action information to be set in the selected action execution frame. If it is determined that it has not been received (step S60: NO), the terminal device 20B proceeds to the process of step S62.

  On the other hand, when determining that it has been received (step S60: YES), the terminal device 20B sets action information in the action execution frame based on the received operation information (step S61).

  Next, the terminal device 20B determines whether or not to end the execution frame setting process (step S62). For example, when the operation information (end instruction) of the operation unit for ending is received, the end is determined. If it is determined to end (step S62: YES), the terminal device 20B ends the execution frame setting process. When it is determined that the process is not finished (step S62: NO), the terminal device 20B can return to the process of step S60 and continue to set the action execution frame.

  As described above, as one aspect of the second embodiment, since the terminal device 20B includes the object control unit 31B, the effect generation unit 32B, and the execution frame setting unit 33, a plurality of player objects are arranged in a predetermined execution order. When the action is executed, a special effect occurs in the game. Therefore, the user causes the player object to execute an action in consideration of the execution order. Thereby, the user's strategy in the game in which the player object executes the action can be improved.

  Further, since the order information is set in the action execution frame in which the user can set the action information, the variation of the combination of the action to be executed and the execution order is increased, and the strategy of the user can be further improved.

  In the execution frame setting process of the example of the present embodiment, for example, a game system including a server device and a terminal device may be used, and the server device may execute the execution frame setting process.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of operations of the server device and the terminal device when the server device executes the effect control process illustrated in FIG. 6.

  In the execution frame setting process, the server device determines whether or not the operation information of the operation unit for setting the action execution frame has been received from the terminal device (step S70). If it is determined that it has not been received (step S70: NO), the server apparatus proceeds to the process of step S72. The terminal device may output, for example, a game image for setting an action execution frame (displayed on the display unit), and transmit the acquired operation information for setting an action execution frame to the server device.

On the other hand, when determining that it has been received (step S70: YES), the server device sets action information in the action execution frame based on the received operation information (step S71). In addition, the server device transmits image information for generating a game image indicating that the setting has been performed. The terminal device outputs (displays on the display unit) a game image based on the received image information (step S80).
Next, the server device determines whether or not to end the execution frame setting process (step S72). When it is determined that the process is to be ended (step S72: YES), the server apparatus ends the execution frame setting process. When it is determined that the process is not finished (step S72: NO), the server apparatus can return to the process of step S70 and continue to set the action execution frame.

  As the order information in the example of the second embodiment described above, for example, next action information for specifying another action to be executed next, or next action execution frame for specifying another action execution frame to be executed next. There is information.

  In the example of the second embodiment described above, a special effect is generated based on the order information of the action execution frame of the action executed on the player object, but the action executed on the player object has started execution. You may include an action (running).

  The setting of the action information in the action execution frame in the example of the second embodiment described above may be any configuration as long as it can be set by the user. For example, a list of action candidates and a plurality of action execution frames are displayed on the display unit. When the operation unit is a touch panel provided on the display screen of the display unit, the user may tap the touch panel and select action information to be set for each action execution frame from the action candidate list.

  The action execution frame in the example of the second embodiment described above may not be directly associated with the player object, but may be associated indirectly. For example, it is associated with equipment items equipped on player objects such as weapons and armor.

  The execution of the action in the example of the second embodiment described above may be any configuration as long as the user can instruct the execution. For example, the touch panel displays an image of an execution button (operation button) corresponding to the action execution frame on a display unit provided on the display screen. In addition, an image based on the action information of the corresponding action execution frame is included in the operation button image. The user taps the touch panel at a position corresponding to the operation button. Thereby, the action corresponding to the tapped operation button is executed by the player object.

  In the example of the second embodiment described above, the player object is caused to execute the action of the action information in the action execution frame. However, an action not corresponding to the action execution frame may be executed.

[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a terminal device 20 </ b> C that is an example of the terminal device 20. In this example, the terminal device 20C includes at least an object control unit 31C, an effect generation unit 32C, and an execution frame setting unit 33C.

  In the example of this embodiment, an action execution frame is associated with an equipment item that can be equipped by the player object. The equipment item may be any item as long as the player object can be equipped, for example, weapons and armor. For example, the user can operate the operation unit to equip the player object with the equipment item he owns. A special effect is generated in the game by the player object executing an action based on the order information of the action execution frame of the equipment item being equipped. That is, although not directly, a special effect occurs based on the order information of the action execution frames of the equipment items indirectly associated with the player object.

  The execution frame setting unit 33C sets action information for each of the plurality of action execution frames associated with the player object based on the operation information of the operation unit. The execution frame setting unit 33C in the example of the present embodiment sets action information for the action execution frame of the equipment item that the player object is equipped with. What is necessary is just to memorize | store the setting content of the action information of the action execution frame of each equipment item in the memory | storage part of 20 C of terminal devices, for example.

  The object control unit 31C causes the player object to execute an action based on the operation information of the operation unit. Further, the object control unit 31C of the example of the present embodiment causes the player object to execute an action corresponding to the action information of the action execution frame based on the operation information of the operation unit. That is, the player object is caused to execute an action corresponding to the action information in the action execution frame of the equipment item being equipped. Further, the object control unit 31C causes the player object to equip at least one equipment item based on the operation information of the operation unit.

  The effect generating unit 32C generates a special effect in the game when the order of actions executed by the player object is a predetermined execution order. The effect generating unit 32C in the example of the present embodiment specifies a predetermined execution order based on the action execution frame order information of the action executed by the player object.

  Next, the operation of the game system 100 (system 100) of this embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of effect control processing executed by the system 100. In the effect control process in this example, a process for generating the special effect described above is performed. Hereinafter, a case where the terminal device 20C executes the effect control process will be described as an example. Note that the flowchart showing the operation of the server device is omitted from the viewpoint of avoiding repeated explanation.

  The effect control process of this example is executed, for example, when the terminal device 20C receives operation information of the operation unit for causing the player object to perform an action. The action corresponding to the received operation information will be described as the current action, and the action that has already been executed or is currently being executed will be described as the previous action.

  In the effect control process, the terminal device 20C performs order determination (step S10-C). In the example of the present embodiment, the terminal device 20C specifies the execution order of actions to be executed next to the previous action based on, for example, the order information set in the action execution frame of the equipment item of the previous action. . Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the current action is an action to be executed next to the previous action. Note that if the order information is not set in the action execution frame of the previous action, it may be determined that the current action is not the action to be executed next to the previous action.

  When it is determined that the current action does not follow the predetermined execution order (step S11: NO), the terminal device 20C ends the effect control process. On the other hand, when it is determined that the action of this time is following a predetermined execution order (step S11: YES), the terminal device 20C executes an effect generation process for generating a special effect in the game (step S12).

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an execution frame setting process executed by the system 100. In the execution frame setting process in this example, a process for setting action information in the action execution frame described above is performed. Hereinafter, a case where the terminal device 20C executes the execution frame setting process will be described as an example. Note that the flowchart showing the operation of the server device is omitted from the viewpoint of avoiding repeated explanation.

  The execution frame setting process of this example is executed, for example, when the terminal device 20C receives operation information (start instruction) of the operation unit for starting the setting of the action execution frame.

  In the execution frame setting process, the terminal device 20C determines whether or not the operation information of the operation unit for setting the action execution frame has been received (step S60-C). As the operation information, for example, information on one equipment item selected from among equipped equipment items, information on one action execution frame selected from among action execution frames of the selected equipment item, and Action information to be set in the selected action execution frame is included. If it is determined that the terminal device has not been received (step S60-C: NO), the terminal device 20C proceeds to the process of step S62.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it has been received (step S60-C: YES), the terminal device 20C sets action information in the action execution frame of the equipment item based on the received operation information (step S61-C). In the example of this embodiment, action information is set in the action execution frame of the equipped item item.

  Next, the terminal device 20C determines whether or not to end the execution frame setting process (step S62). When it is determined that the process is to be ended (step S62: YES), the terminal device 20C ends the execution frame setting process. When it is determined that the process is not finished (step S62: NO), the terminal device 20C can return to the process of step S60-C and continue to set the action execution frame.

  As described above, as one aspect of the third embodiment, since the terminal device 20C includes the object control unit 31C, the effect generation unit 32C, and the execution frame setting unit 33C, a plurality of player objects are arranged in a predetermined execution order. When the action is executed, a special effect occurs in the game. Therefore, the user causes the player object to execute an action in consideration of the execution order. Thereby, the user's strategy in the game in which the player object executes the action can be improved.

  Further, since the order information is set in the action execution frame in which the user can set the action information, the variation of the combination of the action to be executed and the execution order is increased, and the strategy of the user can be further improved. In addition, since the action execution frame is associated with the equipment item of the player object, the variation of the combination of the action to be executed and the execution order is further increased, and the user's strategy can be further improved.

  As the order information in the example of the third embodiment described above, for example, next action information for specifying another action to be executed next, or a next action execution frame for specifying another action execution frame to be executed next. There is information.

  In the example of the third embodiment described above, a special effect is generated based on the order information of the action execution frame of the action executed on the player object. However, the action executed on the player object is started ( You may include actions (in progress).

  The setting of the action information in the action execution frame in the example of the third embodiment described above may be any configuration as long as it can be set by the user. For example, a list of action candidates and an action execution frame for each equipment item owned by the player object (user) are displayed on the display unit. When the operation unit is a touch panel provided on the display screen of the display unit, the user may tap the touch panel and select action information to be set for each action execution frame from the action candidate list.

  The execution of the action of the example of the above-described third embodiment may be any configuration as long as the user can instruct the execution. For example, the touch panel displays an image of an execution button (operation button) corresponding to the action execution frame on a display unit provided on the display screen. In addition, an image based on the action information of the corresponding action execution frame is included in the operation button image. The user taps the touch panel at a position corresponding to the operation button. Thereby, the action corresponding to the tapped operation button is executed by the player object.

  In the example of the third embodiment described above, the player object is caused to execute the action of the action information in the action execution frame. However, an action not corresponding to the action execution frame may be executed. For example, when the equipment item is a sword, a general attack using a sword that is not an action in the action execution frame may be executed.

  In the example of the third embodiment described above, the action information is set for the action execution frame of the equipment item that the player object is equipped with, but the action information is also set for the equipment item that is not equipped. Also good. For example, the action information may be set for an action execution frame of an equipment item owned by the player object (user) but not equipped.

The equipment item in the example of the third embodiment described above may equip a player object with a plurality of equipment items. In addition, a plurality of action execution frames may not be associated with all of the equipment items, and there may be an equipment item that is not associated with an action execution frame.
[Fourth Embodiment]
FIG. 11 is a front view illustrating an appearance of a terminal device 20D that is an example of the terminal device 20. FIG. The terminal device 20D of the example of this embodiment is a mobile phone terminal (smart phone). The terminal device 20D includes a display unit 22 having a touch panel 21 and the like. The touch panel 21 is an operation unit that receives a user operation input. The display unit 22 is, for example, a liquid crystal display device, and displays a game image of the video game (application) in the example of the embodiment of the present invention.

  The terminal device 20D starts the game by executing an application program (game program) stored in the storage unit of the terminal device 20D, and causes the display unit 22 to display a game image as illustrated in FIG. In the game of the example of the present embodiment, a game in which a player object (player character) PO moves in a game field (game space) 50 in a virtual three-dimensional space and fights against enemy objects or the like to achieve a set task. Done.

  In the game image shown in FIG. 11, images such as a status 60, an operation pad 61, and a plurality of operation buttons 62 to 67 are superimposed on an image in the game field 50 including the player object PO. The status 60 displays the current state of the player object PO such as the user name and vitality (HP). The operation pad 61 is a circular image, and is an image for moving the player object PO from the user. When the user slides on the display area (touch panel 21) of the operation pad 61, the player object PO moves (walks or runs) in a direction corresponding to the slide operation.

  The operation buttons 62 to 66 are images for causing the player object PO to execute various actions. The user can execute an action corresponding to the player object PO by tapping a position (touch panel 21) corresponding to each of the operation buttons 63 to 66.

  The operation button 62 is an image for causing the player object PO to perform an attack (ordinary attack) action using the equipped weapon (equipment item). The operation buttons 63 to 65 are images for causing the player object PO to execute (activate) the action of the ability. Ability means the action of the technique of the player object PO, and includes attack technique and magic. As shown in FIG. 12, the ability is set in a hole (HOLE) of a weapon equipped with the player object PO. That is, the operation buttons 63 to 65 are images for executing the ability set in the hall.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between weapons and holes. Action execution frames called up to three holes (holes A to C) are set in the weapon. An ability possessed by the user (player object PO) can be set in the hall. Moreover, each hole A-C is matched with the operation buttons 63-65.

  The images of the operation buttons 63 to 65 include an image for specifying the content of the set ability. That is, the display mode of each of the operation buttons 63 to 65 changes according to the ability set for the hall. For example, the image of the operation button 63 shown in FIG. 11 includes an image expressing lightning that indicates the lightning attack magic ability. The operation button 66 is an image for causing the player object to avoid an enemy attack or the like.

  In the example of the present embodiment, a special effect is generated in the game by continuously executing the abilities in a predetermined execution order. More specifically, a special effect is generated in the game by tapping the operation buttons 63 to 65 for executing the ability successively in a predetermined execution order and executing the ability in the tapped order. Order information (next ability information) for specifying the execution order is set in the hole of the weapon. Details will be described later. For example, when the next operation button is tapped within a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) after the one operation button is tapped, it is determined that the tapping is continuously performed.

  The operation button 67 is an image for switching display contents of the operation buttons 63 to 65. Details will be described later.

  The setting information of the equipped weapon hole (action execution frame) is included in the user information. The user information is stored in the storage unit of the terminal device 20D. FIG. 13A is a diagram illustrating an example of user information, and FIG. 13B is a diagram illustrating an example of an on-weapon weapon table included in the user information.

  The user information is information related to the user's game. The user information includes fields such as a player object (player character), an owned item, and an owned ability associated with the user ID field. In the user ID field, unique identification information given to each user is set. The terminal device 20D controls the progress of the video game based on this user information.

  Various information related to the player object is set in the field of the player object. For example, various parameters such as level (LV) and life force (HP), and equipment information such as an on-weapon weapon table shown in FIG. 13B are included. In the owned item field, information on items that the user can use in the game is set. For example, information on equipment items and other items is set. As information of each item, for example, unique identification information (item ID) of each item may be used.

  The equipment item information included in the owned item field is information on items that can be equipped by the player object PO such as weapons and armor. The weapon is an item for attacking enemy objects such as swords and guns. The armor is an item for reducing damage caused by attacks from enemy objects such as armor, clothes, and bracelets.

  In the possession ability field, ability information executable by the player object PO is set. More specifically, the ability information that can be set for the hole of the weapon is set. As the ability information, for example, unique identification information (ability ID) of each ability may be used. The ability can be acquired by satisfying a predetermined condition such as, for example, the player object leveling up.

  The user can set one ability among the possessed abilities to the equipped weapon hole. The equipped weapons table is updated according to the ability settings.

  The in-equipment weapon table is setting information related to the hole of the weapon that the player object PO is currently equipped with. The in-equipment weapon table is composed of the fields of holes A to C associated with the field of the weapon (item ID) being equipped.

  In the fields of holes A to C, ability information to be executed by the player object PO is set. As described above, the ability information of one ability in the possession ability is registered. An ability ID may be used as the ability information.

  In the example of this embodiment, only weapons have holes in the equipment items. Each weapon has 1 to 3 holes depending on its type. In FIG. 13B, the weapon of item ID “S099-01” is set to information that cannot be set in the holes B and C, indicating that only one hole A is provided. That is, only one ability can be set for the weapon with the item ID “S099-01”.

  In the example of this embodiment, it is possible to equip the player object PO with up to four weapons. When four weapons are set in the player object PO, abilities (ability information) can be set in a maximum of 12 holes.

  The three operation buttons 63 to 65 for executing the abilities correspond to the execution of a maximum of three abilities set in one weapon hole, as shown in FIG. That is, only the maximum three ability operation buttons 63 to 65 corresponding to one weapon are displayed in the game image. For the remaining three weapon abilities that are not displayed, the operation button 67 may be used. Each time the user taps the operation button 67, the display is switched so as to be operation buttons 63 to 65 for executing a maximum of three abilities set in the next weapon hole.

  Further, the holes A to C correspond one-to-one to the operation buttons 63 to 65 as shown in FIG. For example, in the weapon with the item ID “S001-01” shown in FIG. 13B, the operation button 63 corresponds to the execution of the hall A care. Further, the operation button 64 corresponds to the execution of the Kallar in the hall B, and the operation button 65 corresponds to the execution of the Kallar in the hall C.

  In the example of the present embodiment, one of the four weapons to be equipped is set as a main weapon, and the remaining three are set as sub-weapons. For example, the uppermost weapon in the equipped weapon table is set as the main weapon. The main weapon is a weapon used for a normal attack corresponding to the operation button 62.

  Information such as the number of weapon holes is included in a weapon item list as shown in FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a weapon item list. The weapon item list includes information on all weapons that the player object PO can equip, and includes a game program as game data. The weapon item list includes fields such as a name, the number of holes, a rarity, and boosters for holes A to C associated with the field of the weapon item ID.

  The name field is the name of the weapon, for example, text data is set. In the hole number field, information on the number of holes in the weapon is set. In the rarity field, information indicating the rarity of weapons is set. Even for weapon items with the same name, different rarities will cause different parameters, such as attack power, or the number of holes. For example, “Great Sword” of item ID “S001-01” and “Great Sword + 1” of item ID “S001-02” shown in FIG. 14 are the same weapon. However, the “Great Sword + 1” rarity of the item ID “S001-02” is higher. Therefore, the next ability information in the field of the booster in Hall C is different.

  The next ability information and effect information (effect information) are set in the booster fields of the halls A to C. The next ability information is information that specifies the ability to be continuously executed next. That is, the next ability information is next action information as order information for generating a special effect. As the next ability information, for example, an ability ID may be used.

  The effect information is information that identifies an effect (normal effect) that occurs with the ability. That is, the effect information is information for specifying an effect that occurs separately from the ability when the ability is executed. For example, the effect “recovery amount + 5%” shown in FIG. 14 means an effect of increasing the recovery amount by 5% when the recovery magic (ability) for recovering the value of the life force (HP) of the player object PO or the like is executed. To do. For example, a recovery amount parameter is set in the recovery magic, and the recovery amount by one execution is fixed.

  The effect “CT shortening + 5%” means an effect of shortening the time (cool time) until the ability once executed becomes executable again by 5%. Once each ability is executed, it cannot be executed again until the set cool time has elapsed. The effect is not limited to the effect shown in FIG.

  A special effect generated by continuous execution of the ability is configured using information on the effect included in the booster field described above. More specifically, the special effect is an effect obtained by adding the effect set in the hole of the previous ability to the effect set in the hole corresponding to the current ability (see FIG. 15). . In the present embodiment, according to the number of successes of the continuous execution, the effect set for the previous ability hole before the previous execution is added without being limited to the effect of the previous ability hole.

  The booster field of holes A to C corresponds to the number of holes. For example, in the case of a weapon with one hole, information indicating no setting is set in the booster fields of holes B and C.

  The terminal device 20D stores the continuous execution status of the ability in the storage unit as continuous ability information (action history) as shown in FIG. FIGS. 15A to 15C are diagrams illustrating an example of continuous ability information. The continuous ability information is composed of weapon item ID, hole number, execution ability, next ability, and effect fields associated with the field of the number of successful executions.

  15 (A) to 15 (C) show a sequence when the abilities of the holes A to C of the weapon “Great Sword” with the item ID “S001-01” shown in FIG. 13 (B) are continuously executed. The change of ability information is illustrated.

  The weapon with the item ID “S001-01” shown in FIG. 13B includes a magic ability (ability information) of Hall A: Chale (CURE), Hall B: Cairula (CURE2), and Hall C: Chalega (CURE3). Is set. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the next ability information of the weapon with the item ID “S001-01” is set as Hall A: Cairra and Hall B: Cairga. In the hole C, the next ability information is not set. Note that the magic of Keal, Kealula, and Kealuga is recovery magic. The amount of recovery by one execution of each magic increases in the order of Keal, Kealula, and Kealuga.

  For example, in the game image as shown in FIG. 11, in the state where the operation buttons 63 to 65 corresponding to the abilities of the weapon holes A to C with the item ID “S001-01” are displayed, the user operates the operation button 63. Tap. As a result, it is recognized that the first ability (carel) of continuous execution is executed, and the continuous ability information is updated as shown in FIG. That is, each piece of information related to the caral is set in each field of the first success count of the continuous ability information. In the field of the effect of the first success count, information on the effect of the Kale Hall A is set as a normal effect. These effects occur at the timing of execution of the care.

  In addition, information on the Cairra is set in the next ability field of the first success count. Therefore, the user taps the operation button 64 within a predetermined time after tapping the operation button 63. As a result, it is recognized that the second ability (Kearla) of the number of successes of continuous execution is executed, and the continuous ability information is updated as shown in FIG. That is, each piece of information related to the Kallar is set in each field of the second consecutive success of the ability information.

  In addition, since the action (ability) of the player object PO is executed according to a predetermined execution order (Cale, Cairra order), information on special effects is displayed in the field of the second success count effect. Is set. That is, the effect information set in the previous (first) Kale Hall A and the effect information set in the current (Second) Khalela Hall B are combined and set. And these effects occur at the timing of execution of the Kallar.

  In addition, in the field of the next ability that is the second success count, information on the Kealuga is set. Therefore, the user taps the operation button 65 within a predetermined time after tapping the operation button 64. As a result, it is recognized that the ability (Carega) of the third consecutive success count is executed, and the continuous ability information is updated as shown in FIG. That is, each piece of information related to the Kealuga is set in each field of the third consecutive success information.

  In addition, since the action (ability) of the player object PO is executed in accordance with a predetermined execution order (Cale, Kealura, and Kealuga), a special effect is included in the field of the effect of the third success. Is set. Also, since the number of successes of continuous execution will be the third time, special effects include information on the effect of Hall C in Kealuga, information on the effect of Hall B in the previous (second time), and the previous time (first time). This is set together with information on the effect of Hall A of the Cair. Since the next ability information set in the next ability field of the third success number is not set, continuous execution is not established even if the ability is executed next time.

  Although not shown in the figure, when the success count of the continuous execution is the fourth time, the effect information set for the fourth ability hole and the first to third ability holes are set. It is set together with the information of the effect. Therefore, the content of special effects increases as the number of successes of continuous execution increases.

  For example, if nothing is tapped within a predetermined time from the state where the operation button 63 of the kale is tapped, the continuous execution ends. Further, for example, when the Kalgar operation button 65 is tapped within a predetermined time from the state where the Kaleal operation button 63 is tapped, the next action information (Kearla) set for the first time in the continuous ability information. A special effect does not occur because a different Kealuga is executed next to the Keal.

  In addition, for example, when the operation button 64 of the Kallar is tapped, when an operation button with an ability different from that of the Kealuga is tapped within a predetermined time, or when no operation button is tapped, continuous execution is performed. finish. However, since the number of successes of continuous execution is two times, a special effect occurs at the timing of execution of Cairula.

  In the present embodiment, another operation button other than the ability execution (for example, an operation button 67 for switching display) between the tap of the operation button for executing the ability and the operation button for the next ability. Even if is tapped, if the interval between the tap of the operation button for executing the ability and the tap of the operation button for the next ability is within a predetermined time, it is determined that the execution is continuous.

  Note that the effect information need not be registered in the first effect field of the continuous ability information.

  FIG. 16 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a terminal device 20 </ b> D that is an example of the terminal device 20. In this example, the terminal device 20D includes at least an object control 31D, an effect generation unit 32D, an execution frame setting unit 33D, and a notification unit 34D.

  The execution frame setting unit 33D targets the hole (action execution frame) of the weapon (equipment item) equipped in the player object PO based on the operation information of the operation unit (touch panel 21), and the ability information (action information). Set. That is, the equipped weapon table is updated.

  The object control unit 31D causes the player object PO to execute an action based on the operation information of the operation unit. Further, the object control unit 31D of the example of the present embodiment executes, on the player object PO, an ability (action) corresponding to the ability information (action information) of the hole (action execution frame) based on the operation information of the operation unit. Let In other words, the player object PO is caused to execute the ability corresponding to the ability information of the hole of the weapon being equipped. Further, the object control unit 31D equips the player object PO with up to four weapons based on the operation information of the operation unit.

  The effect generating unit 32D generates a special effect in the game when the order of actions executed by the player object PO is a predetermined execution order. The effect generating unit 32D of the example of the present embodiment specifies a predetermined execution order based on the next ability information (order information) of the hole of the ability executed by the player object PO.

  The notification unit 34D notifies the ability (action) to be executed next. In the example of the present embodiment, display control for blinking and displaying the image of the ability operation button to be executed next is performed to notify the user. The notifying unit 34D specifies the operation button for the ability to be continuously executed with reference to the next ability information of the continuous ability information, the weapon table in the apparatus, the weapon item list, and the like. If the operation buttons 63 to 65 currently displayed do not have an operation button corresponding to the next ability, the operation button 67 may be blinked to notify the display. When the corresponding operation button is displayed, the switching button 67 stops blinking and the corresponding operation button blinks.

  Next, the operation of the game system 100 (system 100) of this embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating an example of effect control processing executed by the system 100. In the effect control process in this example, a process for generating the special effect described above is performed. Hereinafter, a case where the terminal device 20D executes the effect control process will be described as an example. Note that the flowchart showing the operation of the server device is omitted from the viewpoint of avoiding repeated explanation.

  The effect control process of this example is executed, for example, when the terminal device 20D receives operation information (tap of the operation buttons 63 to 65) of the operation unit for causing the player object to execute the ability (action). The The action corresponding to the received operation information will be described as this ability, and the ability already executed or currently executed will be described as the previous ability.

  In the effect control process, the terminal device 20D determines the elapsed time from the execution of the previous ability to the execution of the current ability (step S5-D). In the example of this embodiment, as described above, in the operation buttons 63 to 65, it is determined whether the time interval between the previous operation button tap and the current operation button tap is within a predetermined time. For example, the determination may be made using a timer for determining whether or not the time is within a predetermined time.

  If it is determined that it is not within the predetermined time (step S6-D: NO), the terminal device 20D updates (resets) the continuous ability information, assuming that the ability is not continuously executed (step S14-D). Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 15A, the terminal device 20D updates the continuous ability information with the current ability as the first ability for continuous execution. Next, the terminal device 20D performs a next ability information notification process (step S15-D). As described above, the terminal device 20D refers to the continuous ability information or the like and performs a process of blinking and displaying the operation button of the ability to be executed next. Thereafter, the terminal device 20D resets the timer described above (step S16-D).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the time is within the predetermined time (step S6-D: YES), the terminal device 20D performs order determination (step S10-D). Specifically, as described above, referring to continuous ability information, etc., based on the next ability information set in the hole of the previous ability, this ability is the ability to be executed next to the previous ability. Judge whether there is. If information without setting is set as the next ability information in the hole of the previous ability, it may be determined that the current ability is not in the execution order.

  If it is determined that the current ability does not follow the predetermined execution order (step S11: NO), the terminal device 20D proceeds to the process of step S14-D. On the other hand, when it is determined that the current ability follows the predetermined execution order (step S11: YES), the terminal device 20D executes an effect generation process for generating a special effect in the game (step S12-D). Specifically, the continuous ability information is updated. As described above, information regarding the current ability is set in each field of the number of times (N + 1) the current continuous execution success number (Nth) is increased by 1. In this setting, information constituting a special effect is set in the effect field. For example, as shown in FIG. 15B, information regarding the current ability (Kearla) is set in each field of the number of times (second time) the current continuous execution success number (first time) is increased by one. Thereafter, the terminal device 20D proceeds to the process of step S15-D.

  The terminal device 20D finally generates the effect set in the continuous ability information corresponding to the ability to be executed (execution ability) according to the timing at which the ability is executed.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an execution frame setting process executed by the system 100. In the execution frame setting process in this example, a process for setting the ability information (action information) in the above-described hole (action execution frame) is performed. Hereinafter, a case where the terminal device 20D executes the execution frame setting process will be described as an example. Note that the flowchart showing the operation of the server device is omitted from the viewpoint of avoiding repeated explanation.

  The execution frame setting process of this example is executed, for example, when the terminal device 20D receives operation information (start instruction) of the operation unit (touch panel 21) for starting setting of a hall.

  In the execution frame setting process, the terminal device 20D determines whether or not the operation information of the operation unit for setting the hall has been received (step S60-D). As the operation information, for example, information (item ID) of one weapon selected from the equipped weapons, information (hole number) of one hole selected from the holes of the selected weapon, and The ability information (ability ID) to be set for the selected hole is included. If it is determined that the terminal device 20D has not been received (step S60-D: NO), the terminal device 20D proceeds to the process of step S62.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it has been received (step S60-D: YES), the terminal device 20D sets the ability information for the weapon hole based on the received operation information (step S61-D). Specifically, the ability information of the corresponding hole in the equipped weapon table is updated.

  Next, the terminal device 20D determines whether or not to end the execution frame setting process (step S62). If it is determined to end (step S62: YES), the terminal device 20D ends the execution frame setting process. When it is determined that the process is not finished (step S62: NO), the terminal device 20D can return to the process of step S60-D and continue to set a hole.

  As described above, as one aspect of the fourth embodiment, the terminal device 20D includes the object control unit 31D, the effect generation unit 32D, the execution frame setting unit 33D, and the notification unit 34D. When a plurality of actions (abilities) are executed in a predetermined execution order, a special effect occurs in the game. Therefore, the user causes the player object PO to execute an action in consideration of the execution order. Thereby, it is possible to improve the user's strategy in a game that causes the player object PO to execute an action.

  In addition, since order information is set in the hole (action execution frame) where the user can set the ability information (action information), the variation of the combination of the action to be executed and the execution order is increased, and the strategy of the user is further improved. Can be improved. Moreover, since a hole (action execution frame) is associated with the weapon (equipment item) of the player object PO, the variation of the combination of the ability (action) to be executed and the execution order further increases, and the user's strategy is improved. It can be improved further.

  Furthermore, since the effect information that configures a special effect is set in the hole, the user sets the ability information to the hole in consideration of the effect that occurs. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the user's strategy in a game that causes the player object PO to execute an action.

  In the example of the fourth embodiment described above, a special effect is generated by continuously executing abilities within a predetermined time in a predetermined execution order. However, there is no requirement for the predetermined time. Moreover, the generation target of the special effect need not be limited to the ability action.

  In the example of the fourth embodiment described above, the next ability information (next action information) is used as the order information, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this. For example, next action execution frame information for specifying another action execution frame (hole) to be executed next may be set. In this case, as the next action information, for example, information on a weapon ID and a hole number may be included.

  In the example of the fourth embodiment described above, the image of the operation button is blinked to notify the ability (action) to be executed next, but is not particularly limited to this. For example, the name of the ability to be executed next may be displayed in the game image. Alternatively, the name of the ability to be executed next may be output by voice. Further, the notification itself may not be performed.

  Although the special effect of the example of the fourth embodiment described above is determined based on the effect information set for the hole, a special effect that is not set for the hole may be generated.

  In the example of the fourth embodiment described above, the ability information is set for the weapon hole that the player object is equipped with, but the ability information may be set for a weapon that is not equipped. For example, although it is not equipped, the ability information may be set for a weapon hole owned by the player object (user).

  In the example of the fourth embodiment described above, the player object can be equipped with four weapons, but the number of weapons that can be equipped is not limited to this. An action execution frame may be set for equipment items other than weapons.

  In the example of the fourth embodiment described above, the continuous ability information is updated on the condition that the corresponding operation button is tapped regardless of the execution (activation) of the action (ability), but the update timing is arbitrary. Can be set. For example, the update may be performed at the timing when the execution of the action (ability) is started or when the execution is ended. Further, a special effect may be generated according to the update timing.

  The predetermined time in the example of the fourth embodiment described above may not be constant. For example, a time corresponding to the type of ability to be executed may be set. Alternatively, the predetermined time may be decreased every time the number of successes of continuous execution increases.

  In the continuous execution of the ability of the example of the fourth embodiment described above, a limit number may be provided in consideration of game balance and the like.

  The setting of the hole ability information in the above-described example of the fourth embodiment may be any configuration as long as it can be set by the user. For example, a list of owned abilities and a plurality of holes are displayed on the display unit 22. The user may tap the touch panel and select the ability information to be set for each hole from the list of possessed abilities.

  The video game in each of the above-described embodiments is any game such as an action game, a sports game, a racing game, or a role playing game as long as the user operates the operation unit to cause the player object to perform an action. May be.

  The generation timing of the special effect in the example of each embodiment described above may be generated at an arbitrary timing regardless of the execution timing of the action.

  The player object in the example of each embodiment described above may be either one or a plurality of player objects. For example, in the case of a plurality of player objects, a special effect may be generated if any player object executes an action in a predetermined execution order. Alternatively, a different player object may be executed for each action.
