3. Description of Various Information and Terms In Section 3, various information and terms handled by the information processing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a screen displayed on the game device 5 and is an example of the battle screen 7 .

The “game element EL” is information indicating a parameter related to game progress, managed in association with each character C. FIG. A plurality of types of game elements EL may be used, and the battle screen 7 shown in FIG. 3 is provided with a first game element EL1 and a second game element EL2.

The "first game element EL1" is a parameter necessary for the character C to activate a special technique accompanied by a special performance effect during the game progress (during the battle time), and is consumed by the execution of the special technique. is the element EL. Also, the first game element EL1 is attacked by the opponent, and accumulated or recovered over time. In the first game element EL1, the minimum execution lower limit value required for the character C to consume the first game element EL1 to execute a special technique (for example, a special attack technique, a state abnormality activation technique, an evasion technique, etc.) is defined. Therefore, if the first game element EL1 is less than the execution lower limit when executing the special technique, the first game element EL1 cannot be consumed to execute the special technique. Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the first game element EL1 may be composed of a plurality of blocks (three blocks in the example of FIG. 3). It is possible to perform evasive techniques by consuming minutes. Consumption and avoidance of the first game element EL1 will be described later.

"Second game element EL2" is a parameter relating to the state of character C during the progress of the game. In this embodiment, the second game element EL2 is, for example, a physical strength gauge that indicates the physical strength of the character C, but is not limited to this, and may be a damage value that indicates the accumulated damage amount of the character C. FIG. The second game element EL2 is consumed or accumulated by being attacked by an opponent or activating a predetermined special skill. Also, the second game element EL2 may change (eg, recover) over time during the progress of the game.

The second game element EL2 can take a value between a parameter lower limit value (eg, "0") and a parameter upper limit value (eg, "100") set on the game system. In this embodiment, when the second game element EL2 of any character C during the battle becomes zero, the game ends assuming that the physical strength of the character C is exhausted. It should be noted that victory or defeat may be determined by the magnitude of the value of the second game element EL2 at the end of the competition time.

"Attack" refers to all actions that give a disadvantageous effect (such as damage) to the opponent, and attacks include direct attacks such as blows, slamming attacks against objects, attacks with traps, magic attacks, etc. . In addition, the disadvantageous effects include moving the attacked character C to an advantageous location, moving the opponent to an unfavorable location, temporarily rendering the opponent incapable of action, and using an item. etc. When the character C attacks the opponent, the attacked second game element EL2 changes. For example, when character C is attacked, the value of second game element EL2 decreases.

Also, the attack includes an attack operation for transitioning to an attack even if the attack does not actually succeed. Furthermore, depending on the type of attack, it may not succeed if it has an attack range and there is no opponent within a predetermined distance. The amount of damage that character C can inflict on an opponent is determined by the attack power of character C who executed the attack, the type of technique, the defense power of character C who received the attack, the timing of the attack, and the special effects when executing the attack. It fluctuates based on the activation state, etc. “Attack power” is an element related to the amount of damage that can be given to opponent character C when character C attacks. When a character C with a high attack power attacks, it can deal more damage than a character C with a low attack power performing the same type of attack.

The “movement speed” is the motion reproduction speed during the progress of the game. Specifically, it indicates the reproduction speed of the action (motion) of the character C (the first character C1 or the second character C2). A change in operating speed will be described later.

The "game effect EF" is an effect that occurs based on the character C's avoidance execution during the progress of the game. The game effect EF affects the actions of the character C, the state of the character C, and the like during the progress of the game. Details of these effects will be described later.

4. Flow of Operation of Information Processing System 1 In Section 4, an information processing method of the information processing system 1 described above will be described.
4.1 Outline of Operation From here, the flow of information processing executed by the information processing system 1 will be described along the activity diagram of FIG. FIG. 4 is an activity diagram showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the information processing system 1. As shown in FIG.

Here, in this description, for convenience of explanation, the character C is assumed to indicate the first character C1 and the second character C2. Also, with 100 seconds as the competition time, until the second game element EL2 is consumed (reduced) as much as possible within the time limit, or the opponent is rendered inoperable (the opponent's first game element EL1 is set to "zero"). The explanation will proceed assuming that the character C who gave the damage wins the game.

During the progress of the game, the second character C2 attacks the first character C1 (A101). At this time, the first character C1 can avoid the attack by the second character C2 on condition that the first game element EL11 is consumed. When the second character C2's attack hits the first character C1 and the execution condition for avoidance is not satisfied (for example, when the first game element EL11 is insufficient, or when there is no operation instruction to execute the avoidance) ) etc., the first character C1 is attacked by the second character C2 assuming that the second character C2 has successfully attacked. When the first character C1 is attacked by the second character C2, the game progress means 234 changes the second game element EL2 of the first character C1 (A102).

On the other hand, if the execution condition for avoidance is satisfied (for example, if the first game element EL11 is not deficient and an operation instruction to execute avoidance is received), the attack avoidance means 235 causes the second character C2 to become the first character. Attack evasion is executed against the attack on C1 (A103).

If the second character C2 avoids the attack on the first character C1 and is not attacked by the second character C2, it is assumed that the avoidance is successful, and the effect generating means 236, based on the execution of the avoidance, A game effect EF advantageous to the first character C1 is generated (A104). The game effect EF is, for example, the first game effect EF1. The first game effect EF1 is an effect that changes the consumption of the first game element EL1. Note that the successful avoidance means that the first character C1 has executed the avoidance in a state where the second character C2 successfully attacks the first character C1 if the first character C1 does not execute the avoidance. This refers to a state in which the second character C2's attack did not hit the first character C1 (state in which the attack did not succeed).

To summarize the above, the information processing method of this embodiment includes an advancing step, an attack avoidance step, and an effect generation step. In the advance step, the game is advanced by controlling a plurality of characters C. The game is a game in which characters C compete with each other. Character C includes a first character C1 and a second character C2. The character C changes the second game element EL2 of the first character C1 when the first character C1 is attacked by the second character C2. In the attack avoidance step, it is possible to execute attack avoidance against an attack by the second character C2 on the first character C1. Evasion is conditional on consuming the first game element EL1 of the first character C1. Evasion avoids an attack on the first character C1 when the evasion is executed. In the effect generation step, a game effect EF advantageous to the first character C1 is generated based on the avoidance execution. The game effect EF includes a first game effect EF1. The first game effect EF1 is an effect that changes the consumption of the first game element EL1.

4.2 Details of Operation So far, the flow of information processing executed by the information processing system 1 has been described along the activity diagram of FIG. 7, the details of the information processing executed by the information processing system 1 will be described with specific examples.

Here, for convenience of explanation, in this description, one block of the first game element EL1, which is the minimum required for the execution of avoidance during the progress of the game, and the amount of consumption of the first game element EL1 by executing the avoidance of The following description assumes that FIG. 5 is a screen displayed on the game device 5, and is an example of the battle screen 7 before execution of avoidance. As shown in FIG. 5, the first character C1 has 2 blocks for the first game element EL11, and the second character C2 has 3 blocks for the second game element EL2, before attacking and dodging.

The second character C2 attacks the first character C1 (A101). When the attack of the second character C2 succeeds and the first character C1 is attacked by the second character C2, the game progression means 234 changes the second game element EL2 of the first character C1. Specifically, the game progress means 234 decreases the second game element EL21 according to the type of attack executed by the second character C2 (A102).

On the other hand, the first character C1 can avoid attacks by the second character C2 on condition that the first game element EL11 is consumed. In the example of FIG. 5, the first character C1 has the first game element EL11 of one block or more, which is the execution condition for avoidance, and therefore satisfies the execution requirement for avoidance. Attack evasion can be executed against an attack to one character C1.

The attack avoidance means 235 avoids an attack on the first character C1 when avoidance is executed based on an operation instruction from the user (A103). At this time, the attack avoidance means 235 consumes one block of the first game element EL11. FIG. 6 is a screen displayed on the game device 5, and is an example of the battle screen 7 after execution of avoidance. As shown in FIG. 6, the first game element EL11 was two blocks before the avoidance was executed, but the first game element EL11 was consumed by one block by executing the avoidance, and the first game element EL11 after the avoidance was executed. The element EL11 becomes one block.

Here, when the second character C2 attacks the first character C1, that is, when the second character C2 executes the attack or when the second character C2 hits the first character C1, the evasion succeeds. , the effect generating means 236 generates a game effect EF advantageous to the first character C1 based on the execution of avoidance (A104). The game effect EF is, for example, the first game effect EF1.

The first game effect EF1 is an effect that changes the consumption of the first game element EL1. The effect generating means 236 generates an effect of reducing the consumption of the first game element EL11 when avoidance is executed. FIG. 7 is a screen displayed on the game device 5, which is an example of the battle screen 7 after execution of avoidance with the game effect EF. For example, the effect generating means 236 normally consumes one block of the first game element EL11 when avoidance is executed (see FIG. 6), but as shown in FIG. The consumption amount of the first game element EL11 is halved to generate the effect of halving the consumption amount of the first game element EL11. In such a mode, the user can not only avoid the attack but also recover the first game element EL1 consumed by the avoidance by performing the operation instruction in a timely manner.
5. Game effect EF adjustment processing

In Section 5, adjustment processing of the game effect EF will be described with reference to FIG.

At A104, when the effect generating means 236 generates the first game element EL1, the adjusting means 237 may adjust the consumption amount of the first game element EL1 according to the avoidance timing. The adjustment processing by the adjustment means 237 will be further described with specific examples.

<Specific example 1>
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the relationship between the value of the first game element EL1 and the avoidance execution process. In FIG. 8, description will be made using specific numerical values, but these numerical values are merely examples for explanation. The change in the value of the first game element EL1, consumption amount, and the like can be arbitrarily set without being limited to the following example. For example, when the avoidance execution lower limit value is "40", the amount consumed by avoidance execution is "20", and the current value of the first game element EL13 at the time of avoidance execution is "80", normally, the The current value of one game element EL13 is "60". On the other hand, the adjustment means 237 halves the consumption of the first game element EL13 and adjusts it to "10" according to the timing of avoidance by the first character C1. In this case, the current value of the first game element EL13 after avoidance is "70".

<Specific example 2>
Further, the adjusting means 237 may reduce the consumption of the first game element EL1 as the difference between the timing of the avoidance by the first character C1 and the timing of the attack by the second character C2 is smaller. For example, the adjusting means 237 may adjust the consumption of the first game element EL1 to "0" when the timing difference between attack and avoidance is within 0.01 seconds. Specifically, for example, when within 0.01, 0.009, 0.008, 0.007, 0.006, 0.005, 0.004, 0.003, 0.001 seconds, It may be in a range between any two of the numerical values given.

<Specific example 3>
Further, the adjustment means 237 may increase the consumption of the first game element EL1 as the difference between the timing of avoidance by the first character C1 and the timing of the attack by the second character C2 increases. For example, the adjusting means 237 may double the consumption of the first game element EL1 to "40" when the timing difference between attack and avoidance is 0.1 seconds or more. Specifically, for example, when it is 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1 second or more, It may be in a range between any two of the numerical values exemplified here. In this manner, the adjusting means 237 can vary the consumption of the first game element EL1 depending on the timing of avoidance.

<Specific example 4>
Furthermore, the adjusting means 237 may adjust the first game element EL1 so that the amount of consumption differs depending on whether the timing of avoidance is earlier than the timing of attack or when it is later. For example, if the avoidance is executed within 0.1 seconds after the timing of the attack, the adjusting means 237 sets the consumption amount of the first game element EL1 to "15", and within 0.1 seconds after the timing of the avoidance If avoidance is executed, the consumption of the first game element EL1 may be adjusted to "25".

<Specific example 5>
Furthermore, the adjustment means 237 may adjust the consumption of the first game element EL1 according to the current value of the first game element EL1 at the time of execution of avoidance by the first character C1. Specifically, the adjusting means 237 increases the consumption of the first game element EL1 as the current value of the first game element EL1 at the execution time of avoidance is closer to the parameter upper limit value, Adjustments may be made to reduce the consumption of one game element EL1. For example, the adjustment means 237 may increase the consumption when the current value of the first game element EL1 is 90% or more, and decrease the consumption when the current value is 50% or less.

<Specific example 6>
Furthermore, the adjustment means 237 may adjust the consumption of the first game element EL1 according to the time during which the first character C1 has performed the evasion during the battle. Specifically, the adjusting means 237 may adjust the amount of consumption of the first game element EL1 to decrease as the remaining time of the battle time when avoidance is executed decreases. For example, on the premise that the battle time is 100 seconds, if the remaining time at the time of execution of avoidance is 30 seconds or less, the consumption of the first game element EL1 is reduced, and if the remaining time is 50 seconds or more, The consumption of the first game element EL1 may be increased.

<Specific example 7>
Furthermore, the adjustment means 237 may adjust the consumption of the first game element EL1 according to the type of attack.
Specifically, when the attack by the second character C2 is stronger than normal, the adjusting means 237 adjusts the amount of consumption of the first game element EL1 to decrease, thereby increasing the target of the attack by the second character C2. If the medium rate is low, the consumption of the first game element EL1 may be adjusted to increase. With such a mode, it is possible to create various game developments depending on the type of technique used by the opponent.

<Specific example 8>
Furthermore, the adjusting means 237 may adjust the consumption of the first game element EL1 according to the type of the second character C2 that has executed the attack. Specifically, the higher the level of the second character C2, the lower the consumption of the first game element EL1. may be adjusted to increase the consumption of
6. Modified Example of Operation of Information Processing System 1 In Section 6, a modified example of the information processing method of the information processing system 1 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 .
6.1 Modification 1

Further, at A104, the effect generating means 236 may generate the second game element EL2 based on the execution of avoidance. The second game effect EF2 is an effect of changing the action speed of at least one of the first character C1 and the second character C2 for a certain period of time. Here, the action speed is the reproduction speed of the motion, and the effect of changing the action speed for a certain period of time is to change the reproduction speed of the action (motion) of the character C. FIG. Specifically, for example, when 30 frames are required to complete reproduction of a predetermined motion, reproduction is performed in 20 frames or 60 frames.

The second game effect EF2 may be an effect that changes the motion reproduction speed of at least one of the first character C1 and the second character C2 compared to the other character C. The speed may be changed at a constant speed. For example, the effect generating means 236 generates a second game effect EF2 that reduces the action speed of the character C for a certain period of time. According to this aspect, the character C appears to move more slowly than usual, so the execution of the avoidance becomes a highlight, and the user has time to select the next action even in a tense situation during the battle. is born. In particular, in a scene where the battle situation is difficult for the user, time is created for devising a strategy for overcoming the situation, and the development of the game can be changed.

Also, the effect generating means 236 may reduce only the action speed of the second character C2 for a certain period of time. In this case, since the first character C1 that has avoided the attack can move at normal speed, the user can keep a distance from the first character C1, attack, recover physical strength, or use items during this time. can be used to act faster than the second character C2. In other words, the user can escape from a disadvantageous situation or advance the battle situation in an advantageous manner.

Also, the effect generating means 236 may increase only the action speed of the first character C1 for a certain period of time. As a result, the first character C1 can act more quickly than the second character C2, and can advance the battle situation advantageously.

<Adjustment Processing of Second Game Effect EF2>
The adjusting means 237 may adjust the amount of change in the operating speed according to the avoidance timing. For example, the adjuster 237 increases the amount of change in the movement speed of the character C as the difference between the timing of the first character C1's avoidance and the timing of the attack of the second character C2 decreases. More specifically, the adjusting means 237 slows down or speeds up the action speed of the character C as the difference between the timing of the first character C1's avoidance and the timing of the second character's attack is smaller. do.

Further, the adjusting means 237 may adjust the duration of the second game effect EF2 according to the avoidance timing. Specifically, the adjusting means 237 lengthens the duration of the game effect EF as the difference between the timing of avoidance and the timing of attack is smaller. The adjusting means 237 continues the state in which the movement speed of the character C is reduced as the timing difference between the attack and the avoidance is smaller.

Furthermore, the adjustment means 237 may adjust the amount of change in the action speed or the duration of the second game effect EF2 according to the type of attack. For example, the adjustment means 237 lengthens the duration of the second game element EL2 as the damage amount of the attack executed by the second character C2 increases. The adjustment means 237 may also adjust the duration of the second game element EL2 to be shortened or lengthened when a specific attack is received, based on preset conditions. With such a mode, the development of the game becomes more diversified, and an improvement in the strategic nature of the game can be expected.
6.2 Modification 2

Also, the effect generating means 236 may generate the third game element EL3 based on the execution of avoidance. The effect generating means 236 generates an effect after the effect of the first game element EL1 or the second game element EL2 ends. is. For example, the third game effect EF3 is an effect that speeds up the action speed of the first character C1 for a certain period of time after the second game effect EF2 ends. Also, for example, the third game effect EF3 is an effect that allows the attack to be executed before the second character C2. In this case, the second character C2 cannot attack until the first character C1 attacks. The third game effect EF3 is an effect that allows the user to execute a special attack that can be executed only immediately after the end of the game element EL1 or EL2 by performing a specific operation after the end of the first game element EL1 or the second game element EL2. It's okay.
6.3 Modification 3

Also, the effect generating means 236 may generate a fourth game element EL4 based on the execution of avoidance. For example, the fourth game effect EF4 is an effect that changes the first game element EL1 of the second character C2. Specifically, the fourth game effect EF4 is an effect of consuming the first game element EL1 of the second character C2. FIG. 9 is a screen displayed on the game device 5, which is an example of the battle screen 7 after execution of avoidance with the fourth game effect EF4. For example, before avoidance by the first character C1, the first game element EL12 of the second character C2 has three blocks (see FIG. 5). Due to the game effect EF4, one block of the first game element EL12 is consumed, resulting in two blocks.

Also, at this time, the adjustment means 237 adjusts the amount of change in the first game element EL1 of the second character C2 according to the avoidance timing. Specifically, the adjusting means 237 may increase the amount of consumption of the first game element EL1 as the difference between the timings of attacking and avoiding is smaller. For example, the adjustment means 237 may adjust the first game element EL12 to consume two blocks instead of one block normally consumed when the timing of attack and avoidance coincides (see FIG. 7).

Also, the fourth game effect EF4 may be an effect that changes the second game element EL2 of the second character C2. Specifically, the effect is to decrease the current value of the second game element EL2 of the second character C2. Also, the fourth game effect EF4 may be an effect that changes the second game element EL2 of the first character C1. Specifically, it is an effect of increasing the second game element EL2 of the first character C1. As shown in FIG. 5, the current values of the second game element EL21 of the first character C1 and the second game element EL22 of the second character C2 were the same before avoidance execution, but after avoidance execution Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, the effect generating means 236 may increase the second game element EL21 or decrease the second game element EL22 (see FIG. 7).

The adjustment means 237 adjusts the amount of change in the second game element EL2 of the second character C2 or the second game element EL2 of the first character C1 according to the avoidance timing. For example, the effect generating means 236 adjusts so that the amount of increase in the second game element EL21 is doubled or the amount of decrease in the second game element EL22 is doubled as the difference between the timings of attack and avoidance decreases. may

Here, the adjustment of the second game element EL2 by the adjusting means 237 will be further described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the relationship between the value of the second game element EL2 and the avoidance execution process. In FIG. 10, description is given using specific numerical values, but these numerical values are merely examples for explanation. The value, amount of change, etc. of the second game element EL2 can be arbitrarily set without being limited to the following example. For example, if the current value of the second game element EL23 at the time of execution of avoidance is "80", it is normally changed by "10" to become "70" or "90". The amount of change in the second game element EL23 is increased according to the timing of avoidance by C1, and the current value of the second game element EL23 after execution of avoidance is adjusted to "65" or "95".

Note that the adjusting means 237 adjusts the first game element EL1 of the second character C2 and the second game element EL2 of the second character C2 according to the level of the second character C2, the type of the second character C2, the type of attack, and the like. Alternatively, the change amount of the second game element EL2 of the first character C1 may be adjusted. With such a mode, even when the same operation is performed, different actions are brought about depending on the timing and conditions, and more diverse game developments can be expected. With such a mode, even when the user is in a disadvantageous situation due to being attacked, the user can aim for a come-from-behind victory, thereby further expanding the development of the game.

The effect generating means 236 may combine the game elements EL described above and generate a plurality of types of game elements EL at arbitrary timing. That is, the effect generating means 236 may simultaneously generate at least two of the first game effect EF1, the second game effect EF2, the third game effect EF3, and the fourth game effect EF4. Moreover, when generating a plurality of types of game effects EF, the effect generating means 236 may shift the timing of generating each game effect EF. It should be noted that the user may be able to arbitrarily select what kind of game effect EF is to be generated by the effect generating means 236, or the type of game effect EF changes according to the timing of avoidance, the type of attack, and the like. may

According to the present embodiment, the game effect EF varies depending on various factors such as the timing at which the evasion is executed. Since the development of the game can be expected, the user's interest can be improved.

[Second embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, a case in which four or more characters C fight each other, and two characters C form a team and fight against each other will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12 as an example.

FIG. 11 is a screen displayed on the game device 5, which is an example of the battle screen 7 before execution of avoidance. As shown in FIG. 11, the first game element EL14 of the third character C3 before avoidance execution is one block, and the first game element EL15 of the fourth character C4 is two blocks. FIG. 12 is a screen displayed on the game device 5, which is an example of the battle screen 7 after execution of avoidance.

Here, a game in which four characters C (a first character C1, a second character C2, a third character C3, and a fourth character C4) compete against each other progresses, and the first character C1 and the third character C3 are on the same team, and the second character C2 and the fourth character C4 are on the same team. Further, the description will proceed with an example in which the second character C2 attacks the first character C1 and the first character C1 avoids this attack.

In the second embodiment, the fourth game effect EF4 may be an effect that changes the first game element EL14 of the third character C3 or the first game element EL15 of the fourth character C4. For example, the effect generating means 236 increases the first game element EL14 of the third character C3 by one block to two blocks based on the execution of avoidance. Also, the effect generating means 236 reduces the first game element EL15 of the fourth character C4 by half a block, which is very good by 1.5 blocks.

Also, the fourth game effect EF4 may be an effect that changes the second game element EL24 of the third character C3 or the second game element EL25 of the fourth character C4. For example, the effect generating means 236 may increase the first game element EL14 of the third character C3 and decrease the first game element EL15 of the fourth character C4 based on the execution of avoidance.

Note that the adjustment means 237 may adjust the amount of change in the fourth game effect EF4 using various elements shown in the first embodiment.

According to this embodiment, not only the characters C who attacked or evaded each other but also the game elements EL of the other characters C are affected, so that the development of the game can be further diversified.
