In the game system of Patent Document 1, the number of available uses of the model is increased by the input of the amusement value. Therefore, even if all the available times are consumed, there is no need to re-acquire a new model. Also, there are players who have a crush on the model actually used. In such a situation, in the game system of Patent Document 1, it is sought to give a game to a player who holds the model. motivation. On the other hand, models that are in love may have a good impact on the game's play results, but will not change the game's situation. Therefore, even if you enter the value of the game, the fun of the game will not change. Also, although there is the possibility of promoting the consumption of recreational value, it is not an increase in the choice of the game. Furthermore, for players who do not hold a model, it has nothing to do with it.

Here, an object of the present invention is to provide a game machine that can increase the selection of a game and also promote the consumption of entertainment value, a control method used therefor, and a memory medium that memorizes a computer program.

In the game machine of the present invention, the game machine is provided in response to the game situation, and the game machine is provided with a quantity to be given a state of consumption in the game, and the condition providing means (15) is used to consume the amount of the situation. In the game, the predetermined amount of the game is provided, and the reference amount increase/decrease control means (15) increases the amount of play during the play period in which the game has a function as a reference for the play period in the game, and is satisfied. In the case of the predetermined reduction condition, the reference amount is reduced by the reference amount increase/decrease control means for providing the predetermined condition when the predetermined use condition is satisfied as one of the predetermined reduction conditions. The amount of reduction in the reference amount during the aforementioned play.

According to the present invention, if the predetermined use condition is satisfied, the play period reference amount is utilized in order to give a predetermined situation. Therefore, even if the amount of all the conditions is consumed and there is no room for the predetermined situation, the reference period of the play period can be used to give the predetermined situation. That is, you can choose the lost choice again. Optional. Thereby, although the reference amount will decrease during the play, the reduction can be compensated by the consumption of the amusement value. Therefore, the selections in the game can be increased, and the consumption of the value of the game is also promoted.

The reference amount during the play period may be used in any direction in order to give a predetermined condition. For example, in the state of the game machine of the present invention, when the condition for use is satisfied, the amount of the situation is increased by the amount of decrease in the reference amount of the play period, and the amount of the situation is increased. It is also possible to use the aforementioned reduction amount in the case. At this time, the reference amount during the play is not directly consumed in order to give a predetermined condition. For this reason, for example, depending on the operation of the player, the amount of the consumption status is given, and when the predetermined situation is given, the player can select the time and place to which the predetermined situation is given.

In the same manner as the game machine of the present invention, the operation unit (8) further includes an operation of the player, and the reference amount increase/decrease control means and the condition providing means are performed when the predetermined transfer operation is performed by the operation unit. It is also possible to judge that the above-mentioned utilization conditions are satisfied. The reference amount during the play has a function as a reference for the play period, so the reduction causes a reduction in the play period. Therefore, it is also possible to consider the reduction of the reference amount during the avoidance of play. At this time, in order to give a predetermined situation, it is determined whether or not to reduce the reference amount during the play period in accordance with the operation of the player. Therefore, the player can be judged whether to reduce the reference amount during the play. That is, the player can be judged whether or not the predetermined situation is given even if the play period is reduced. Thereby, the proficiency of the game can be reflected in whether or not the reference amount is reduced during the play period, and the difference in proficiency can be brought about by the consumption of the game value.

In the same state of the game machine of the present invention, there is further provided: display device (4) The game screen (35) is displayed on the game screen, and a status-giving bar (BG) indicating the amount of the remaining amount of the situation is displayed, and a play period bar indicating the remaining amount of the play period reference amount is displayed ( EG) Yes. At this time, it is easy for the player to recognize the amount of the situation and the amount of the reference amount during the play.

In the state in which the game screen display status is given to the gauge bar and during the play period, the respective strips may be in any form. For example, in the same state of the game machine of the present invention, as the aforementioned play period slip, a circular strip which is increased or decreased in the direction along the outer circumference may be used.

As a reference condition, various conditions may be employed. For example, in the game machine of the present invention, the reference amount increase/decrease control means has a function as a function of time for playing the game in the play period reference amount, and is one of the predetermined reduction conditions. The play time is used, and it is determined that the predetermined reduction condition is satisfied every time the predetermined unit time is passed during the play of the game, and the reference amount of the play period may be reduced as the play time elapses.

Various conditions may be given as a predetermined situation. For example, in the game machine of the present invention, the game is configured to be movable to a character (PC) in a predetermined area; and the condition providing means is given as the predetermined condition. The state in which the movement speed of the character is increased before the given situation is given may be used.

The control method of the present invention is a computer (15) that is incorporated in a game machine that is accumulated in response to a game situation and is given a quantity to be given a predetermined situation in a game. By giving the amount of the aforementioned condition, the aforementioned setting is given in the aforementioned game. And the reference amount increase/decrease control project is to increase the reference amount during the play during the play with the function as the reference for the play period in the game, and to make the aforementioned play period when the predetermined reduction condition is satisfied. In addition, when the predetermined use condition is satisfied as one of the predetermined reduction conditions, the reference amount is reduced, and the reference amount is reduced. The above-mentioned project of reducing the amount of reference during the play.

Further, the memory medium of the present invention is a computer program for a game machine, and the computer program is configured such that it is accumulated in a state in which the game is used in response to the game situation, and is given a condition for giving a predetermined situation in the game. The computer (15) of the game machine has a function as a means for providing a state by giving the amount of the situation, and giving the predetermined condition to the game; and the control means for increasing or decreasing the amount of the game, and the value of the game. In the game exchange, the reference amount during the play period having the function as the reference period of the play period is increased, and when the predetermined reduction condition is satisfied, the reference amount during the play period is reduced; and the computer is configured to have the following functions: In addition, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the condition providing means is a means for reducing the amount of the play period reference amount reduced by the reference amount increase/decrease control means in order to provide the predetermined condition. .

In this case, the coin input port 10 and the coin discharge port 11 may be replaced by a memory medium that can memorize electronic information and a reading device that can read electronic information stored therein.

The structure of the gaming machine 1 will be further described with reference to Fig. 2 . 2 is a functional block diagram of the gaming machine 1. Inside the casing 2 of the gaming machine 1, a control unit 15 as a computer is provided. Then, the control panel 3, the monitor 4, and the speaker 5 are connected to the control unit 15.

The control unit 15 includes a game control unit 17 as a control main body, a display control unit 18 that operates in accordance with an output from the game control unit 17, and a sound output control unit 19. The game control unit 17 is configured as a unit of various peripheral devices such as an internal memory device (for example, a ROM and a RAM) required to combine a microprocessor and a microprocessor.

The display control unit 18 draws an image corresponding to the image data given from the game control unit 17 to the frame buffer, and outputs a video signal corresponding to the image to be drawn to the monitor 4, thereby displaying it on the monitor 4. The portrait is fixed. The sound output control unit 19 generates a sound reproduction signal corresponding to the sound reproduction data supplied from the game control unit 17, and outputs the sound reproduction signal to the speaker 5, whereby the predetermined sound (including music, etc.) is reproduced from the speaker 5.

An external memory device 20 is connected to the game control unit 17. In the external memory device 20, a memory medium such as an optical memory medium such as a DVDROM or a CDROM or a nonvolatile semiconductor memory such as an EEPROM can be used, and the memory can be stored even without power supply.

In the external memory device 20, the game program 22 and the game material 23 are memorized. The game program 22 is a computer program required to execute the action game in order to follow the predetermined order in the game machine 1.

When the game machine 1 is started, the game control unit 17 executes a work program stored in the internal memory device, and executes various processes necessary for the game machine 1 to operate. Next, the game control unit 17 follows the game program 22 and sets an environment for executing the action game. The game control unit 17 executes the game program 22, and the game control unit 17 generates the situation management unit 24.

The situation management unit 24 executes a process for managing a game situation by assigning a predetermined situation or the like to the game. The status management unit 24 is a logical device realized by a combination of a computer hardware and a computer program. Further, the game program 22 includes various modules, and the game control unit 17 generates various logic devices required for execution of the game in addition to the status management unit 24 in accordance with the modules, but the drawings are omitted. Show.

The game material 23 includes the effect sound data 26 and the image data 27. The effect sound data 26 is a material that associates and records a plurality of types of effect sounds to be output from the speaker 5 in response to the player's operation or game condition, and records the code unique to each effect sound. The image data 27 is used to display various objects, icons, characters to be displayed in the game, and the like on the monitor 4. Furthermore, in game material 23, in addition to including the game of compliance The program 22 refers to various materials that should be referred to when the game is executed, but the illustrations are omitted.

Next, an action game executed in the gaming machine 1 will be described. The game machine 1 provides an action game for a plurality of players to play by consuming the coins as the value of the game. For example, the plurality of players can participate in the common action game by using the plurality of game machines 1 connected to each other so that information can be transmitted and received.

FIG. 3 is a view showing an example of a game screen provided by the game machine 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the game screen 35 includes an image corresponding to the player character PC of each player and an image of the enemy character AC. The player character PC and the enemy character AC are placed in a field that is displayed as a predetermined area as a virtual three-dimensional space. Then, each player moves through the player character PC in the game screen 35 in the field of the virtual three-dimensional space, and fights with the enemy character AC encountered. Through the battle, the player is given a score and the like. In the example of FIG. 3, it is disclosed that four game players 1 corresponding to the game machine 1 are in a state of being engaged with one enemy character AC, respectively.

On the other hand, the game screen 35 also includes various information indicating the state of the player character PC, the usable props, and the like. As such information, for example, the game screen 35 includes a display of the energy meter strip EG as a play period slip and the accelerometer strip BG as a condition giving amount meter strip. The accelerometer strip BG is used to indicate the amount of the acceleration as the amount of acceleration of the situation. The amount of acceleration is tied to the game and is consumed in order to give it a certain status. Specifically, by performing a Mercedes selection operation, the player of the player character PC moves The law switches from walking to Mercedes. The so-called Mercedes-Benz represents the movement speed of the player character PC. In other words, as the consumption of the acceleration amount is given, the movement speed of the player character PC is increased before the giving of the predetermined situation.

The acceleration amount is consumed by a certain amount with the Mercedes-Benz selection operation. In addition, with a certain amount of consumption, the movement speed of the player character PC for a certain period of time is increased. As a certain amount and a certain time, various amounts or times can be used. Then, when the value of the accelerometer bar BG becomes 0, that is, when the amount of acceleration becomes 0, the player character PC cannot execute. When it is impossible to drive, that is, when the speed of the player character PC cannot be increased, the possibility of finding the enemy character AC in the field becomes low. At this time, the scores obtained and the like are likely to become low. Also, it is difficult to escape from the enemy character AC.

On the other hand, the amount of acceleration is accumulated in response to the game situation. Specifically, as the game progresses, that is, the passage of time gradually increases. However, increasing the speed (increasing the amount/increasing the time required) is slower than the consumption speed (a certain amount/certain time) accompanying the Mercedes. Therefore, it is impossible to let the player character PC continue to run in the game. For this reason, for the choice of making the player character PC Mercedes, the player's appropriate judgment is required to reflect the proficiency. Furthermore, the game state in which the acceleration amount is accumulated is not limited to the passage of time. For example, by performing a predetermined operation or acquiring a predetermined item in the game, the acceleration amount may be accumulated.

The energy meter strip EG is used to indicate the amount of residual energy as a reference amount during the play period. The player can operate the player character PC in the field until the energy becomes zero. That is, the player can enter the energy until it becomes zero. Play games.

The energy system increases with the consumption of coins. That is, energy can be purchased using coins. On the game screen 35, the purchase button BB is further displayed. The purchase of the button BB is to increase the energy of the user in order to consume coins. Moreover, the energy system is reduced when the predetermined reduction condition is satisfied. Specifically, as a predetermined reduction condition, time is employed. That is, the energy system is reduced every time the predetermined unit time elapses and the predetermined reduction condition is satisfied. That is to say, the energy gradually decreases with the passage of time. Therefore, the energy corresponds to the play time. That is, the player first purchases energy by purchasing coins, and starts the game play. Then, after starting the play, the player increases the energy by adding coins, which can delay the end of the game. In the example of FIG. 3, the energy meter strip EG is formed in a circular shape in order to easily recognize the remaining time of the playable time. Further, the residual amount of energy of the energy meter strip EG increases in a clockwise direction along the outer circumference and decreases in the counterclockwise direction so as to correspond to the passage of time of the clock.

Further, the predetermined reduction condition includes the predetermined use condition when the predetermined transfer operation as the predetermined operation is executed. That is, when the predetermined transfer operation is executed, it is determined that the predetermined use condition as one of the predetermined reduction conditions is satisfied, and the amount of energy is transferred to the acceleration amount. Specifically, in performing the predetermined transfer operation, in addition to the energy reduction, the amount of acceleration increases. Therefore, the player can consume energy to increase the amount of acceleration when the amount of acceleration is too small to be able to run.

Furthermore, the transfer of energy to the acceleration amount is limited to when the energy is a certain amount or more. As a certain amount, for example, it can be used after energy transfer. The amount of play games can be played over time. In other words, when a certain amount or more of the game play can be performed for a certain period of time or more after the transfer of energy, the transfer may not be performed even if the predetermined transfer operation is executed. Further, various conditions may be used in addition to the predetermined reduction conditions. For example, as a predetermined condition, other selection operations such as purchase of a weapon or a game situation such as an attack by an enemy character AC may be used. That is, the energy system is used for the reinforcement and purchase of weapons, the increase and enhancement of other options in the game, and the like, which may be reduced with such conditions. Moreover, the energy is reduced when it is attacked by the enemy character AC. At this time, the reference amount during the play period may not be reduced as the play period passes. In other words, the reference amount during the play period may be a reference indicating the duration of the play period by having a function as an amount capable of allowing an attack from the enemy character AC.

Next, the transition processing routine executed by the game control unit 17 will be described. The game control unit 17 executes the transfer processing routine in order to shift the energy into an acceleration amount, that is, to increase the amount of acceleration in addition to reducing the energy. Further, the game control unit 17 executes various routines in addition to the transfer processing routine in order to execute the game. However, since these can be realized by a known routine, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 4 is a view showing an example of a flowchart of a transition processing routine executed by the game control unit 17. The routine system status management unit 24 of Fig. 4 performs this execution. The status management unit 24 executes the routine of FIG. 4 when performing the predetermined transfer operation. When the routine of FIG. 4 is started, the situation management unit 24 first determines in step S11 whether or not the remaining amount of energy is a certain amount or more. As a certain amount, for example, when the energy is reduced with the transfer of the acceleration amount, the use of the playable tour Play for a certain amount of time or more. That is, in step S11, it is determined whether or not the game can be played for a certain period of time or more after the energy is transferred to the acceleration amount. When it is determined that the result is a negative result, the state management unit 24 skips the transfer processing when the playable time after the energy is transferred to the acceleration amount is less than a certain period of time, and ends the current routine.

On the other hand, when the determination in step S11 is affirmative, the state management unit 24 proceeds to step S12 when the game is played for a certain period of time or more after the energy is transferred to the acceleration amount. In step S12, the status management unit 24 consumes the quantified energy. That is, the amount of the energy meter strip EG is reduced by a predetermined amount. In step S13, the situation management unit 24 increases the amount of acceleration. That is, the residual amount of the accelerometer strip BG is increased. Further, the amount of decrease in energy in step S12 may be equal to the amount of increase in acceleration amount in step S13, and may be different.

When the situation management unit 24 ends the process of step S13, the current routine is terminated. Thereby, with the predetermined transfer operation of the player, when a certain amount of energy remains, the consumption of energy is exchanged, and the amount of acceleration is increased. Moreover, with the increase in the amount of acceleration, the choice of Mercedes can be made.

As described above, according to this aspect, energy can be transferred to an acceleration amount according to a predetermined transfer operation. Therefore, it is possible to change the state of the game from the state in which the mobile method cannot be selected to the Mercedes-Benz. In this way, because the options of the lost Mercedes can be revived, the options can be increased as needed. That is, energy can be utilized to increase the game's options. The energy system corresponds to the playable time, so the reduction in energy is also equal to the reduction in playable time. Therefore, it is impossible to transfer energy into an acceleration amount without planning. So, for playing The home judges the superiority and inferiority between the maintenance of energy and the increase in the use of the acceleration of the Mercedes-Benz option. That is, the player's proficiency will be reflected in the transfer of energy to the acceleration. This will increase the fun of the game.

On the other hand, the energy system increases with the consumption of coins. That is, coins can be used to increase the game's options. That is, the consumption of coins can be utilized to eliminate the difference in proficiency. Thereby, the consumption of coins can also be promoted. That is, according to this form, the selections in the game can be increased, and the consumption of coins is also promoted.

In the above embodiment, the control unit 15 executes the routine of FIG. 4 by the transmission status management unit 24, and has a function as a reference amount increase/decrease control means and a situation providing means.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may be implemented in a suitable form. In the above-described form, when the predetermined use condition is satisfied, the reference amount is reduced and the amount of situation is increased by the play period, and the play period reference amount is used indirectly for giving a predetermined situation. However, the present invention is not limited to this form. For example, in order to give a predetermined situation during the play, the reference amount may be used as it is. In other words, when the predetermined use condition is satisfied, in order to give a predetermined situation, the reference amount of the play period may be consumed instead of the amount of the amount given. At this time, the predetermined condition can be immediately given by satisfying the predetermined use conditions. On the other hand, when the reference amount of the play period is used indirectly, the period of decrease of the reference amount during the play period and the period of the given state can be separated. Thereby, it is possible to achieve a reduction in the reference amount during the playful play period and an assignment of the predetermined situation.

In the above-described form, the predetermined operation is employed as the predetermined use condition, but the predetermined use condition is not limited to this form. For example, in the tour When the predetermined item is obtained in the play, various game conditions such as when the predetermined period or the play period reference amount is equal to or greater than the predetermined reference amount may be used as the predetermined use condition.

In the above-described form, the reference amount and the state-giving amount during the play period are displayed by the bar, but the present invention is not limited to this form. For example, during the play, the reference amount and the status grant amount are used to guide the player by using numerical values, color changes, or sounds.

In the above-described form, the game machine 1 executes the action game, but the game executed by the game machine 1 is not limited to such a game. For example, various games such as a shooting game, a simulation game, a role playing game, and the like can be executed using a game machine. Further, in the above-described form, the movement speed of the character in the game is increased as a predetermined situation. However, the predetermined situation is not limited to this form. For example, as a predetermined situation, even if the character receives an attack from the enemy, it does not affect the situation during the play, or the reward status such as the special score or the like. For example, as the game machine, various game machines, personal computers, mobile phones, and the like, which are used for business, home use, fixed type, and portable type, may be used. In addition, in a game machine such as a home game machine, it is not possible to invest in the physical value of the game. As a consumption of entertainment value, electronic money (including virtual currency) can be used to consume entertainment value through the Internet.
