Abstract

PURPOSE: A game production method is proposed to reduce the cost and period of game production by producing a program using a virtual character with simple shape and exchanging information of virtual and real character images if the production of graphic image of real character is completed. CONSTITUTION: A game production method using a virtual character is consisted of three steps. A first step is to store graphic image, with simple shape and to be used as a virtual character, in a game production system, after making the images. The graphic image of a virtual character uses different images according to the character appearing in a game, and the appearing character is classified by shape, number, flavor, color, etc. A second step is to register a graphic image of the virtual character, produced in the first step, in the position which a real character is registered in the program production process, and to run the program. A third step is to exchange the virtual character and real character each other by registering the real character in the place of the virtual character after eliminating the virtual character if a graphic image for a real character is built.

Description

How to make a game using a virtual character

The present invention relates to a game production method using a virtual character, in particular, it is possible to perform programming by using a virtual character during the production of the program so that the character graphic image production and program production can be performed at the same time during the production of the electronic game applied to the computer. It relates to a game production method using a virtual character.

Generally, electronic game production is divided into scenario production, graphic production, program production, and music production. In the above scenario production field is a field in which the producer decides which electronic game to produce and sets the progress of the game accordingly, and the graphic production field is a background of all the characters appearing in the background and the electronic game necessary for the progress of the electronic game. It is a field for setting a graphic image, the program production field is a field for creating a program required to perform the progress of the electronic game, the music production field is a field for setting the music output as the effect sound during the progress of the electronic game.

In general, the electronic game is produced in the order of scenario creation, graphic image production, programming, music settings, etc., most of the time is spent on the production of graphics.

For example, a production company sets an electronic game production period to be one year, recruits writers, graphic designers, programmers, and music experts, and then starts electronic game development. At this time, it takes 7 months or more to determine all the character images and complete the graphic image according to the background image and the motion of the character. In this case, programmers cannot proceed programming until the graphic image of the character is completed, which causes a problem that the production cost of the electronic game increases in the production company. After all, since the graphics work can be completed after the programming work, the problem of cost increase occurs, and the problem that takes a lot of time to develop the electronic game.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of which is to perform a program production using a virtual character of a simple form and when the production of the graphic image for the actual character is complete information and information about the virtual character image It is to provide a game production method using a virtual character that can reduce the game production cost and duration by exchanging information on the character image.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a process of performing a production of a game program using a virtual character in the present invention.

Features of the present invention for achieving the above object, the first process of producing a plurality of simple graphic image to be used as a virtual character in the game production system; A second process of registering a graphic image of the virtual character produced in the first process and performing programming at a position where the actual character is to be registered in a production step of a program for a game; And a third process of replacing the virtual character with the real character by removing the virtual character and registering the real character at the position when the graphic image of the real character is completed. have.

In this case, according to an additional feature of the present invention, the graphic image of the virtual character produced in the first process uses a graphic image of different virtual characters according to the characters appearing in the game, the characters appearing are shapes, numbers, It is divided into symbols and colors.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment of a game production method using a virtual character according to the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a flowchart showing a game production operation according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, first, a plurality of graphic images for use as a virtual character are produced and stored in a game development system (see S1 and S2). In this case, the production of the virtual character is a game developer who purchased a game development system. In addition, it may be produced by a provider of a game development system and provided simultaneously when the game development system is sold.

In the electronic game, there are a lot of characters, so the characters in the game can be distinguished by different shapes, numbers, symbols, and colors.

Then, when the user is working for the development of the electronic game, if the graphic process for the actual character is not completed, the user registers the virtual character in the program to proceed with the program production process (see S3).

When the virtual character is registered by the above operation, the program is produced by using the graphic image of the Kaka character (see S4). At this time, if the graphic image production of the actual character is completed in the field in charge of graphics ( The production of the program used in the electronic game is completed by removing the virtual character and registering the actual character at the position (see S6 and S7).

As described above, the game production method using the virtual character of the present invention has the effect of reducing the cost and time to complete the electronic game because the production of the character and the production of the program can be performed at the same time.

Claims (2)

A first step of producing a plurality of graphic images of a simple form to be used as a virtual character and storing the same in a game production system; A second process of registering a graphic image of the virtual character produced in the first process and performing programming at a position where the actual character is to be registered in a production step of a program for a game; And And a third step of replacing the virtual character and the real character by removing the virtual character and registering the real character at the position when the graphic image of the real character is completed. .
