Also, programs or data can be supplied to Game terminal 10 or server 30.

[2. Overview of the game]

The game system S is a game that executes a continuous action including a first partial action and a second partial action performed after the first partial action. Before explaining the specific content of the game, the meanings of the terms such as the game action and game objects will be described.

A local action means, for example, individual actions constituting a continuous action. For example, local actions are actions related to other local actions. For example, perform local actions in sequence to complete a continuous action. For example, the plurality of local actions are actions of processing common game objects such as a ball or a group.

For example, in defensive actions in baseball games, such as moving a character to pick up the ball and pass the ball, the previous and subsequent actions are all actions that deal with the movement, catching, and passing of a continuous action such as a ball. This is an example of a local action. Another example is a shooting action in a football game, such as moving a character to control the ball on the ball, or to shoot the ball under control. The actions before and after are all moving in a continuous action that handles objects such as the ball, controlling the ball, Each action of a shot is an example of a local action.

Another example is the shooting action in a basketball game. If you move the character to catch the ball, shoot the ball you have received, the previous and subsequent actions are the movements in the movement of the object such as the ball, the ball receiving, and the shooting. An example of local action. Another example is a counter attack action in a combat game. For example, to make a character defend against an enemy ’s attack and counter the enemy, the actions before and after are a series of defensive and countermeasures that deal with the enemy ’s objects. Each of the actions is an example of a local action.

The first local motion is, for example, a local motion performed before the second local motion. For example, the first partial action is the first partial action performed in a consecutive action. In addition, the first partial action may not be the initial partial action, and may also be a partial action other than the last partial action among the consecutive partial actions. That is, when n (n is an integer of 2 or more) local actions are performed sequentially, any one of the first to n-1th local actions is the first local action.

The second local action is, for example, a local action performed later than the first local action. For example, the second partial motion may be performed immediately after the first partial motion is performed, or there may be other motions between the first partial motion and the second round motion. In addition, the second partial action may not be the last partial action, as long as it is a partial action performed later than the first partial action among a series of actions. That is, when the n local actions are performed sequentially, if the first local action is a local action performed in the order of k (k is 1 to n-1 natural numbers), then the k + 1th to nth Any one of the local actions is a second local action.

For example, in a baseball game, if the first partial action is a move, the second partial action is a catch or a pass. As another example, if the first partial action is a catch, the second partial action is a passing. As another example, in a football game, if the first partial action is movement, the second partial action is controlling the ball or shooting. As another example, if the first partial action is controlling the ball, the second partial action is shooting. For another example, in a basketball game, if the first partial action is movement, the second partial action is catching or shooting. As another example, if the first partial action is a catch, the second partial action is a shot. As another example, in a battle game, if the first partial action is defense, the second partial action is countermeasure (counterattack).

A continuous motion is, for example, an motion including at least a first partial motion and a second partial motion. For example, a continuous motion may include more than three local motions, and may also include local motions other than the first local motion and the second local motion. Another example, a continuous action Each local action is an action for dealing with a common game object such as a ball, a group, or an enemy. The above-mentioned defensive action in a baseball game, a shooting action in a football game, and a shooting action in a basketball game are actions that deal with common game objects such as balls, and are examples of a continuous action. The counter-attack in the above-mentioned battle game is a common game object that deals with the enemy, and is an example of a continuous action.

Game objects refer to, for example, game characters, game cards, and game items. For example, the game object is a three-dimensional model arranged in a game space, or an image arranged in a two-dimensional plane.

In the present embodiment, a baseball game is taken as an example to describe the processing of the game system S. In addition, a description will be given of a case where a fielder character performs a continuous movement of moving, receiving, and passing when a defensive opportunity comes in the game. Therefore, in this embodiment, the wild player character is equivalent to a game object. Each of moves, catches, and passes corresponds to a local action. A defensive action consisting of moving, receiving, and passing is equivalent to a consistent action.

Figure 2 shows a screen transition diagram of how the game progresses. In this embodiment, in principle, the game is performed without a user's operation. As shown in FIG. 2, the game image G1 displays only a rough game situation. In addition, in the present embodiment, although the letter "G1A" is used to indicate the change of the display of the game image G1 at the end of the "G1" symbol, only the "G1" is marked when there is no specific difference. To illustrate.

As shown in the game image G1A, when the game starts, a message showing the start of the game is displayed on the list of characters who played in the game. In this embodiment, a simple simulation is performed based on the character parameters of the two teams, and the game is played. The simulation itself can use various means, for example, to determine the strike result according to the parameters of the hitter character and the pitcher character. In addition, simulations can be based not only on regular members who belong to the character who first appeared in the game, It can also be based on parameters determined in advance as candidates for the team (not shown in G1).

As shown in the game image G1B, immediately after the match, according to the parameters of the hitter character of "Tanaka" who belongs to the first striker of "Team A" and the pitcher of "Team B" who belongs to the later attack The parameters of the pitcher characters of "Kikuchi" determine the strike result. Subsequent hitters also perform simulations to compete.

As shown in game image G1C, when the first half of a game ends, the offense and defense alternate and start the second half of the game. In the case of the game image G1C, according to the parameters of the hitter character of "Ikeda" who belongs to the first striker of "Team B" and the pitcher character of "Kiyama" who belongs to the first striker of "Team A" Parameters to determine the result of the strike, and the hits will be determined by the fielder's parameters of "Team A" for hits, turnovers or outs. Subsequent hitters also perform simulations.

In this embodiment, when the defense opportunity of our team comes, the game operation is enabled. That is, when the guard opportunity comes, the operation opportunity comes. For example, the game operation can be performed when the ball reaches the defensive range of the field player characters of our team, and the game operation can be performed when the player character strikes in a predetermined number of outs or a predetermined upper base situation. In addition, as far as the target of the fielder character who comes to the operation opportunity is concerned, the pitcher, the catcher and the first baseman who have less defense opportunities can be excluded. As shown in the game image G1D, when a defensive opportunity arrives, a message M10 indicating the game status is displayed on the display unit 15 and the display of the game image G1 is switched.

FIG. 3 is a screen transition diagram of the game image G1 when the defense opportunity comes. As shown in FIG. 3, the game image G1E shows the state of the game space. The game space is a virtual space in which characters are arranged. It can be 3D or 2D. For example, a field is arranged in the game space, and Field players C1, pitcher characters C2, and hitter characters C3 are placed on the field.

In addition, for example, a catcher character, a runner character, and a referee character may be arranged in the game space. In addition, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the hitter character C3 is not hit, and the runner character actively runs the base although he does not steal the base. As another example, a virtual camera is set in the game space. For example, the virtual camera may be set at a position behind the fielder character C1 so that the fielder character C1 is included in the field of vision.

For example, the game image G1E includes a display area A11 for displaying information such as the name and ability of the player character, a display area A12 for displaying the status of the game, and a bonus generated at this defensive opportunity. Display area A13. In this embodiment, points are awarded when the game operation of each of the movement, the catch, and the passing in the defensive action is successful, and the reward for the points is displayed in the display area A13.

Exceptionally, the reward can also be determined based on the ability parameters of the fielder's character when the guard opportunity comes. For example, the number is described in detail. However, in the case of using the first game part to cultivate characters in the modified example, a reward corresponding to the ability parameters of the cultivated characters may be generated. For example, the higher the ability parameter, the higher the reward can be. At this time, people with higher ability parameters can be cultivated in advance, so that they can get more points.

After displaying the game image G1E, such as game images G1F, G1G, our team's pitcher character C2 starts the ball action and throws the ball B. Here, it is assumed that the pitcher character C2 starts the pitching operation regardless of the game operation. As shown in the game image G1H, when the hitter character C3 of the opponent team strikes the ball B, a movement operation for moving the fielder character C1 is received.

FIG. 4 is a screen transition diagram of the game image G1 when the moving operation is performed. As shown in FIG. 4, in the game image G1I, the player character C3 is shown striking the ball B, and the ball B is surrounded by the player character C3. The marker image G2 is displayed. The marker image G2 is an image that highlights the position of the ball B. For example, the marker image G2 is displayed with a prominent color such as red or yellow. The marker image G2 moves with the ball B.

When the game image G1I is displayed, the operation unit 14 accepts a movement operation. In this embodiment, the movement operation is an operation for instructing the movement direction of the wild player character C1, and is performed by, for example, flicking the touch panel of the operation unit 14. In addition, the movement operation may be any operation other than sliding. For example, it may be swipe, or a virtual grip (virtual controller) may be displayed on the display unit 15 and the virtual grip may be slid. . As shown in the game image G1I, a guide image G3 is displayed under the feet of the fielder character C1, which is used to guide the direction to be indicated by the movement operation.

FIG. 5 shows a detailed view of the guidance image G3. As shown in FIG. 5, the guide image G3 in this embodiment is circular in the game space, but is displayed as an ellipse on the screen depending on the angle of the virtual camera. For example, the guidance image G3 includes areas A30 to A33, and each area is distinguished into different colors. In FIG. 5, the color differences of the regions A30 to A33 are schematically represented by the density of the halftone dots. In addition, the number of regions included in the guide image G3 is not limited to four, and may include two, three, or five or more regions.

For example, the success of the movement operation is evaluated based on the relationship between the directions indicated by the movement operation and the areas A30 to A33. For example, the evaluation result of the movement operation is determined based on which one of the designated areas A30 to A33 is viewed from the center point O of the guidance image G3. In other words, the success of the moving operation is evaluated based on the area through which a straight line extending in the direction indicated by the moving operation takes the center point O as a reference. For example, a touch panel is like a court in a game space, and the direction indicated on the touch panel is converted to the direction in the game space to evaluate the success of the movement operation.

The direction indicated by the movement operation can be a self-touch (start of touch) touch panel The direction of the position toward the position where it is not touched (end of touch) may also be a sliding direction. Moreover, it may be the direction from the touch position (starting position of touch) to the current touch position in a case where no touch is made for a predetermined time after the touch. The touched position may be any position in the screen, but it is ensured that the moving distance in the left, right, up, and down directions is sufficiently ensured by performing as much as possible in the center of the touch panel, so that the operability is good.

For example, the area A30 shows an area in which a direction is to be indicated by a moving operation. When the area A30 is indicated by a moving operation, the highest evaluation is obtained. At this time, the probability of the fielder character C1 following the ball B (the probability of successful movement) is the highest. The position of the area A30 in the guidance image G3 may also be determined according to the positional relationship between the fielder character C1 and the ball B, and may also be determined in consideration of the foot course parameters of the fielder character C1. For example, when the ball B flies to the right of the fielder character C1, the area A30 becomes the upper right, and when the ball B flies to the left of the fielder character C1, the area A30 becomes the lower left. That is, the position of the area A30 is determined in the same way that the direction in which the ball B is viewed from the field player character C1 is viewed from the center point O in a certain direction of the area A30. In addition, the ball B may fly toward the front of the fielder character C1. At this time, the area A30 is arranged on the upper side.

In addition, when the area A31 is instructed based on the movement operation, it becomes the second highest evaluation. At this point, the probability of the fielder C1 catching up with the ball B will slightly increase. For example, the area A31 is arranged so as to face the area A30. As another example, when the area A32 is designated based on the movement operation, it becomes the third highest evaluation. At this point, the probability of fielder C1 catching up with Ball B is unlikely to increase. For example, the area A32 is arranged so as to face the areas A30 and A31. In addition, for example, when the area A33 is designated based on the movement operation, the evaluation is the lowest. At this point, the chance of the fielder C1 catching up with the ball B will be quite low. The area A33 becomes an area other than the areas A30 to A32.

It is easiest to move the fielder character C1 when the area A30 is indicated by the movement operation. Success, so the wider the area A30, the easier it will be to move, and the narrower the area A30, the more likely it will fail. In other words, the smaller the area A33, the easier it is to move, and the wider the area A33, the more likely it is to fail. In this embodiment, the width of each of the areas A30 to A33 is determined according to the footstep parameters that show the speed of the foot of the fielder character C1.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the relationship between the footstep parameters and the areas A30 to A33 of the guidance image G3. As shown in FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the higher the field parameter of the field character C1 is, the wider the area A30 is, and the lower the field parameter of the field character C1 is, the narrower the area A30 is. In other words, the higher the footwork parameter of the fielder character C1, the narrower the area A33, and the lower the footwork parameter of the fielder character C1, the wider the area A33. In addition, the width of the area A33 can be fixed, and the difficulty can be adjusted by the ratio of the areas A30 to A32.

In addition, when the footstep parameters are extremely low, the area A30 may also disappear. In addition, when the ratio of the area A30 calculated according to the footstep parameter is less than the threshold, the ratio of the area A30 may be set to zero, and the ratio of the area A30 and the ratio of the area A31 may be added. In addition, when the ratio of the area A31 is less than the threshold value, the area A32 may be secured at a predetermined ratio. When the ratio of the area A30 and the area A31 are added, it is also possible to determine whether the threshold is not reached based on the ratio of the added A30.

Returning to FIG. 4, when the guidance image G3 is displayed on the game image G1I, slide on the screen to perform a movement operation to indicate the area A30. For example, when the area A30 is instructed to move, as shown by the game image GIJ, a higher evaluation result of "MOVE EXCELLENT!" Is displayed in the display area A14. In addition, during or after the movement operation, a guidance image G4 may also be displayed, and the guidance image G4 shows the direction indicated by the movement operation. In the example of the game image GIJ, the guidance image G4 is displayed so as to point to the area A30.

For example, when the area A31 is instructed to move, it is displayed in the display area A14. The second highest evaluation result of "MOVE GOOD!", And the guidance image G4 is displayed in a manner to indicate the area A31. For another example, when the operation area A32 is moved, the third highest evaluation result of "MOVE NORMAL!" Is displayed in the display area A14, and the guidance image G4 is displayed in a manner of pointing to the area A32. For another example, when the operation area A33 is moved, the lowest evaluation result of "MOVE BAD!" Is displayed in the display area A14, and the guidance image G4 is displayed in a manner of pointing to the area A33.

In addition, when the mobile operation is accepted (that is, when the guidance image G3 is displayed), the playback speed of the video may not be changed specifically, and the video may be temporarily stopped. In this embodiment, the playback of the video is set. Slower. Therefore, when a move operation is accepted, the fielder character C1 and the ball B move slowly. In addition, the playback speed of the video may be a fixed value, but in this embodiment, the playback speed of the mobile operation is determined based on at least one of the defensive force parameter and the skill parameter of the field player character C1. For example, the higher the defensive force parameter, the slower the playback speed, and the lower the defensive force parameter, the faster the playback speed. As another example, when the fielder character C1 has a special skill regarding defense, the playback speed may also become slow.

In addition, the time limit for moving operation may not be specifically set, but in this embodiment, the time limit for moving operation is set, and the time limit is set until the ball B crosses the defense range of the fielder character C1. Therefore, the slower the playback speed of the video is, the longer the limit time is and the more cautious the mobile operation is, the easier the mobile operation is. On the other hand, the faster the playback speed of the image, the shorter the limit time, and the mobile operation must be performed immediately, so the difficulty of the mobile operation increases. In this way, it is also possible to adjust the difficulty of the movement operation by limiting the time (reproduction speed).

When moving, as shown in the game images G1K and G1L in Figure 4, The fielder character C1 moves toward the ball B side. The fielder character C1 can also move in the direction showing the mobile operation, or the evaluation of the mobile operation can only be used for game operations, and the direction of the fielder character C1 is determined in advance based on the game situation. For example, if you roll the earth toward the front of the fielder character C1, there will be cases where you move to the front regardless of the direction of the movement operation. If you roll the earth to the right, you will also move to the right. If it is Goofy ball, there may be situations where the fielder character C1 jumps. In FIG. 4, since the area A30 is indicated based on the movement operation, the movement of the fielder character is successful, and the ball B catches up with the ball. When in this state, a catch operation for receiving the fielder character C1 is accepted.

FIG. 7 is a screen transition diagram of the game image G1 when the catch operation is performed. As shown in FIG. 7, the game image G1M shows how the wild player character C1 enters the catching posture, and receives the catching operation from the operation unit 14.

In this implementation form, the ball receiving operation is an operation for instructing the wild player character C1 to receive the ball, and for example, it is performed by touching the touch panel of the operation unit 14. In addition, the operation of catching the ball may be any operation other than touching, for example, it may be a sliding or flicking operation, or an operation in which a virtual key is displayed on the display section 15 and the key is in contact with the key. As shown in the game image G1M, a guide image G5 is displayed near the fielder character C1, and the guide image G5 is used to guide the timing to be instructed by the catch operation.

FIG. 8 is a detailed view showing the guidance image G5. As shown in FIG. 8, the guidance image G5 includes areas A50 to A53, and each area is distinguished into different colors. In FIG. 8, the color differences of the regions A50 to A53 are schematically expressed as the density of the dots. The areas A50 to A53 in the guide image G5 are distinguished into four colors. In addition, the number of regions included in the guide image G5 is not limited to four, and may include two, three, or five or more regions.

In the present embodiment, a case where the horizontal direction (horizontal direction) of the guide image G5 is long is explained, but the guide image G5 may be long in the vertical direction (vertical direction). For example, it is also possible to use a long guide image G5 in the horizontal direction when the ball is rolled over the earth, and a long guide image G5 in the vertical direction to receive the ball. Guide image G5 of the content of the action.

As shown in the guidance image G5, one end (for example, the left end) of the area A50 displays a cursor C54, and gradually moves toward the other end (for example, the right end). Here, the moving speed of the cursor C54 is fixed, but the moving speed of the cursor C54 may be changed. In addition, although the case where the moving direction of the cursor C54 is constant is described, the cursor C54 may be temporarily stopped on the way or moved in the opposite direction. For example, when the catch operation is performed, the cursor C54 will stop. For example, among the areas A50 to A53, the success of the catch operation is evaluated based on the area where the cursor C54 stops.

For example, the area A52 is the area to be stopped by the cursor C54. When the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A52 according to the catch operation, it is the highest evaluation. At this point, the chance of success in catching the ball is the highest. As another example, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A51 according to the catch operation, it is the second highest evaluation. At this point, the chance of success in catching the ball will increase slightly. In addition, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A50 according to the catch operation, it is the third highest evaluation. At this point, the probability of a successful catch is unlikely to increase. As another example, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A53 according to the catch operation, the evaluation is the lowest. At this point, the chance of success in catching the ball will be quite low.

When the cursor C54 stops on the area A52, the catch is most likely to succeed. Therefore, the wider the area A52 is, the easier it is to succeed, and the narrower the area A52, the more likely it is to fail. In other words, the narrower the area A53, the easier it is to catch the ball, and the wider the area A53, the more likely it is to fail. In this embodiment, the width of the areas A50 to A53 is based on the display The catching parameters of the fielder's catching ability C1 are determined. In addition, the width of the area A53 may be fixed, and the difficulty level may also be adjusted according to the ratio of the areas A50 to A52.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the relationship between the catching parameters and the areas A50 to A53 of the guidance image G5. As shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, the higher the field player C1's receiving parameters, the wider the area A52, and the lower field player C1's receiving parameters, the lower the area A52 becomes narrower. In other words, the higher the field player C1's receiving parameters, the narrower the area A53, and the lower field player C1's receiving parameters lower, the wider the area A53. As shown in FIG. 9, when the catch parameter is extremely low, the area A52 may completely disappear, and it may become the area A53.

Returning to FIG. 7, when the guide image G5 is displayed on the game image G1M, as shown in the game images G1N and G1O, the cursor C54 gradually moves to the right. As shown in the game image G1P, when the ball receiving operation is performed at a better timing, and the cursor C54 stops on the area A52, a higher evaluation result of "CATCH EXCELLENT !!!" is displayed in the display area A15.

For example, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A51 according to the catch operation, the second highest evaluation result of "CATCH GOOD!" Is displayed in the display area A15. For another example, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A50 according to the catch operation, the third highest evaluation result of "CATCH NORMAL!" Is displayed in the display area A14. For another example, when the cursor C54 is stopped on the area A53 according to the catch operation, the lowest evaluation result of "MOVE BAD!" Is displayed in the display area A14.

In addition, when the ball receiving operation is accepted (that is, when the guidance image G5 is displayed), the reproduction speed of the image may not be particularly changed, and the image may be temporarily stopped. In this embodiment, the image is set as an image. Playback speed becomes slower. Therefore, when receiving the ball receiving operation, the field player characters C1 and the ball B move slowly. In addition, the playback speed during the catch operation can also be based on the fielder character C1. It is determined by the skill parameters and the like, but in this embodiment, it is set to a fixed value which has no relationship with the field character C1.

In addition, the time limit for moving operation may not be specifically set, but in this embodiment, the time limit for moving operation is set, and the time limit is set until the ball B touches the glove of the fielder character C1. The timing when the cursor C54 reaches the right end is set in accordance with the timing until the ball B comes in contact with the glove of the fielder character C1. When the cursor C54 reaches the right end without performing a catch operation, it is determined that the catch operation has failed. In addition, when the time limit is not specifically set, the cursor C54 can also return to the left end (initial position) when it reaches the right end, and repeats the movement multiple times to cycle through the guidance image G5. At this time, the image can also be temporarily stopped.

As shown in Figure 7, until the fielder character C1 receives the ball, the virtual camera is located behind the fielder character C1, and the destination of the pass may not be displayed on the screen. Therefore, after the fielder character C1 receives the ball, The virtual camera moves to show the barriers of the pass destination. In addition, the base of the passing destination is set in advance according to the situation of the game. For example, in the case of a runner, the first or two bases of the runner are used as the passing destination. When there is no runner, the first or second base can also be used as the passing destination.

Fig. 10 is a diagram showing how the virtual camera is moved after the field player character C1 receives the ball. Here, a case where the fielder character C1 is a second baseman and the passing destination is a second base will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, the virtual camera VC located behind the fielder character C1 moves to the left of the fielder character C2, and moves toward the second base of the passing destination. That is, the virtual camera VC moves so that both the second base of the passing destination and the fielder character C1 are included in the field of view.

The movement of the virtual camera VC can also slow down the playback speed of the video. The image can also be temporarily stopped, and the playback speed of the image can be returned to the normal speed. As shown in the game images G1Q and G1R in FIG. 10, after the fielder character C1 receives the ball, the virtual camera VC moves around the fielder character C1, thereby giving the game a sense of presence. In addition, the marker image G2 may be eliminated at the timing when the fielder character C1 receives the ball, or may be eliminated at the timing when the guidance image G5 is displayed. When the virtual camera VC is moved as shown in FIG. 10, a passing operation for passing a fielder character C1 is accepted.

FIG. 11 is a screen transition diagram of the game image G1 when the passing operation is performed. As shown in FIG. 11, the game destination G1S displays the base of the pass destination and the fielder character C4 (here, the shortstop) as the receiver of the pass, and a pass operation is received from the operation unit 14.

In this embodiment, the pass operation is an operation for indicating a position on the screen. For example, the touch panel of the operation unit 14 is used to drag and drop the ball image G7 on the guide image G6. Way to proceed. The display position (initial position) of the ball image G7 may be a fixed position or may be randomly determined, or may be determined based on a shoulder force parameter showing the strength of the shoulder of the fielder character C1. For example, the display position of the ball image G7 can also be set to be higher as the shoulder force parameter is closer to the guide image G6, and lower as the shoulder force parameter is farther away from the guide image G6.

In addition, the passing operation may be any operation other than dragging, for example, it may be an operation of sliding, flicking, or touching, or displaying a virtual pad on the display portion 15 and moving the virtual pad. As shown in the game image G1S, a guidance image G6 for guiding a position to be instructed by the passing operation is displayed on the base of the passing destination.

FIG. 12 is a detailed view showing the guidance image G6. As shown in FIG. 12, the case where the guide image G6 is circular is described, but the guide image G6 may be any shape such as a quadrangle or a triangle. Moreover, it is not necessary to specifically set the time limit for the movement operation, but in In this embodiment, a time limit is set for the passing operation, and the guidance image G6 includes an index M60 for guiding the time limit.

For example, the color of the indicator M60 changes with time, and the remaining time of the limited time is guided by the change of the color of the indicator M60. As shown by the indicator M60A in FIG. 12, for example, at the time point when the acceptance of the passing operation is started, it is set to the first color (for example, black), and as shown by the indicators M60B to M60D, as time passes, the second color The area (for example, white) increases and the area of the first color decreases, and when the time limit comes, all of them become the second color.

In addition, here is described a case where the time limit is guided by the ratio of the first color and the second color, but the time limit may also be guided by a change in the area of the index M60. For example, it can also be set that the area of the indicator M60 will gradually decrease with time, and the indicator M60 will disappear when the time limit comes. Conversely, it can also be set that the area of the indicator M60 will gradually increase with time, and the indicator M60 will all be displayed when the time limit comes.

For example, when the ball image G7 is dragged into the guide image G6 within the limited time, the passing operation is successful. Therefore, the larger the pass image is, the easier it is to succeed, and the smaller the pass image G6 is, the easier it is to fail. In the present embodiment, the size of the guidance image G6 is determined based on the skill parameters showing the passing skill of the fielder character C1.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the relationship between the technical parameters and the size of the guide image G6. As shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, the higher the passing skill of the fielder character C1 is, the larger the guidance image G6 is, and the lower the passing skill of the fielder character C1 is, the larger the guidance image is. The smaller the G6. Exceptionally, the size of the guidance image G6 can also affect the distance between the fielder character C1 and the passing destination. At this time, the closer the distance, the larger the guidance image G6, and the farther the distance, the smaller the guidance image G6.

Returning to FIG. 11, when the guide image G6 is displayed on the game image G1S, a pass operation is performed to move the ball image G7 into the guide image G6. As shown in the game images G1S to G1U, a cursor C70 is displayed near the ball image G7 in such a manner as to instruct the guidance image G6. As shown in the game image G1U, when the ball image G7 exceeds the guide image G6, the cursor C70 changes the display position 俾 to display the original direction.

For example, according to the pass operation, when the ball image G7 is dragged slightly beyond the guidance image G6, the second highest evaluation result of "THROW GOOD!" Is displayed in the display area A16. For another example, according to the passing operation, when the ball image G7 is dragged completely in the guide image G6, the highest evaluation result of "THROW EXCELLENT !!!" is displayed in the display area A16. The highest evaluation result of "THROW EXCELLENT !!!" is displayed in the display area A16, and the third highest evaluation result of "THROW NORMAL !!!!" is displayed in the display area A16. For another example, according to the pass operation, when the ball image G7 is dragged in a state that is not completely contained in the guide image G6, or when it cannot be dragged within a limited time, the lowest display of "THROW BAD!" Is displayed in the display area A16. Evaluation results.

In addition, when a pass is accepted (that is, when the guide image G3 is displayed), the playback speed of the image may not be particularly changed, and the image may be temporarily stopped. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the Playback speed becomes slower. Therefore, when a pass operation is accepted, the fielder characters C1 and the ball B move slowly. In addition, the playback speed during the pass operation may also be determined based on the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1, but in this embodiment, it is set to a fixed value that has no relationship with the fielder character C1.

In addition, the limit time of the passing operation may be a fixed value that is not related to the fielder character C1. However, it is determined here based on the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1. For example, shoulder The higher the force parameter, the longer the limit time, and the lower the shoulder force parameter, the shorter the limit time. The longer the time limit for the passing operation, the more cautious the movement operation can be, so the difficulty of the passing operation decreases. On the other hand, the shorter the time limit for the passing operation, the faster the passing operation must be performed, so the difficulty of the passing operation increases. In this way, the difficulty of passing operation can also be adjusted by limiting the time.

Moreover, in this embodiment, since the playback time during the pass operation is a fixed time, when the limit time of the pass operation is changed, it may not be extended by the latter part of the time series in the video, but rather Extend the front of the time series of the image, so that the end of the time limit is completed in conjunction with the pass. When a passing operation is performed, the fielder character C1 passes to the base of the passing destination.

Figure 14 is the picture transition of the fielder character C1 after passing. As shown in FIG. 14, the game image G1W shows how the wild player character C1 passes to the base of the passing destination. As shown in the game image G1X, when the fielder character C4 receives the pass, the judgment result of out or safe is displayed. After that, as shown in the game images G1Y and G1Z, the fielder character C4 can also pass to the first base to complete a double play (the player character C3 is also out). For example, when completing a double kill, you can also increase the score obtained.

As described above, the game system S of the present embodiment has a structure capable of evaluating in detail a continuous movement of movement, catching, and passing during the defensive movement, and enhancing the interest of the game. Details of this configuration will be described below.

[3. Functions implemented in the game system]

Fig. 15 is a functional block diagram showing functions related to the present invention among the functions implemented by the game system S. In this embodiment, the game terminal 10 is used to implement in-game The main function of the case is explained. Therefore, in the game terminal 10, the data storage unit 100, the first receiving unit 101, the first setting unit 102, the first evaluation unit 103, the first operation control unit 104, the second receiving unit 105, and the second setting unit 106 are implemented. , Second evaluation unit 107, second operation control unit 108, first reward determination unit 109, second reward determination unit 110, and simulation unit 111.

[3-1. Data Memory Department]

The data storage unit 100 is mainly implemented by the storage unit 12. The data memory section 100 stores data necessary for executing a game. Here, the character data DT1 and the game situation data DT2 will be described as an example of the data stored in the data storage unit 100.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a data storage example of the character data DT1. As shown in FIG. 16, the character data DT1 is data about a character, and for example, a character ID, a name, a position, and a parameter for uniquely identifying the character are stored. In addition, other information about the person may be stored in the character data DT1, for example, an image of the person may also be stored.

The character may also be associated with only one parameter, but in this embodiment, the character system is associated with the first parameter and the second parameter. That is, a case where a person is associated with a plurality of parameters will be described.

The parameter refers to, for example, a parameter showing the level of capability. The parameter is not limited to the value showing the ability value, but may also be a parameter showing whether there is skill (special ability). Skill parameters can also be prepared with skills related to each local action. For example, if it is the defensive action described in the embodiment, the technique may be prepared for each partial action, such as a technique regarding movement, a technique regarding receiving the ball, and a technique regarding passing.

For example, if it is a baseball game, you can also prepare: foot stroke parameters, shoulder force parameters, defensive force parameters, ball receiving force parameters, and skill parameters. As another example, if it is a football game, you can also prepare: Parameters of foot stroke parameters, technical force parameters, shooting force parameters and technical parameters. For another example, if it is a basketball game, it is also possible to prepare: parameters of foot stroke parameters, catching force parameters, shooting force parameters and skill parameters. For another example, if it is a battle game, parameters of defense parameter, attack parameter and skill parameter may also be prepared.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a data storage example of the game status data DT2. As shown in FIG. 17, the game status data DT2 is data about the status of the game, for example, the status of the game space or the status of the game is stored.

As far as the status of the game space is concerned, the position, orientation, posture, movement speed, etc. of the characters in the game space are stored. The position in the game space is displayed by the coordinate value set in the coordinate axis of the game space. The status of the game space can store not only the position and speed of the ball, but also the position and direction of the virtual camera. As for the state of the game, for example, the current number of games, the scores of each team, the number of bad goals, the number of good goals, and the number of games out are stored. Alternatively, the game situation data DT2 may store, for example, the base situation of each base.

The data stored in the data storage unit 100 is not limited to the example described above. The data storage unit 100 only needs to store data required for the game. For example, the data storage unit 100 can store motion data of local movements of movement, catching, and passing, and can also store motion data including one continuous movement of a plurality of local movements. Action data is data that defines the character's dynamics (changes in the vertex coordinates of the 3D model), and plays the action data to move the character in the game space. Alternatively, for example, the data storage unit 100 may store image data of each image to be displayed on the display unit 15.

[3-2. The first reception department]

The first reception unit 101 is mainly implemented by the control unit 11. The first acceptance department 101 A first game operation corresponding to a first local action. For example, the first receiving unit 101 receives a first game operation based on a detection signal from the operation unit 14.

The game operation is, for example, an operation performed by the operation unit 14 during execution of a game. For example, a game operation is an operation for making a game object move. As another example, different game operations may be prepared for each local action. For another example, if the operation unit 14 is a touch panel, the operations of sliding, touching, and dragging are examples of game operations. As another example, if the operation unit 14 is a game controller, the operation of pressing the cross key, the operation of tilting the lever, and the operation of pressing the keys are examples of the game operation. As another example, when a sensor that detects the movement of a person or a game controller is used, an operation of raising a hand or a game controller to a predetermined position and an operation of moving the hand or the game controller in a predetermined direction are examples of game operations . As another example, when a voice input is used, a predetermined sound is an example of a game operation.

The first game operation is, for example, a game operation to be input when the first game action is performed. As another example, the first game operation is a game operation to be performed when the first partial action is performed. For another example, the first game operation is a game operation performed to make the first partial action successful. As another example, the first game operation is an operation performed before the second game operation. In addition, there may be other game operations between the first game operation and the second game operation, and the second game operation may be performed immediately after the first game operation is ended.

The second game operation is, for example, a game operation to be input when the second game action is performed. As another example, the second game operation is a game operation to be performed during the second partial action. As another example, the second game operation is a game operation performed to make the second partial action successful. The first game operation and the second game operation may be different operations or the same operation. That is, the same kind of game operation may be repeated, thereby performing the first game operation and the second game operation.

For example, in a baseball game, if the first partial action is a move and the second partial action is a catch or pass, the first game operation is a move operation, and the second game action is a catch operation or a pass operation. For another example, if the first partial action is a catching ball and the second partial action is a passing ball, the first game operation is a catching operation and the second game operation is a passing operation.

For another example, in a football game, if the first partial action is a move, and the second partial action is a ball control or a shot, the first game operation is a move operation, and the second game operation is a ball control operation or a shot operation. For another example, if the first partial action is controlling the ball and the second partial action is shooting, the first game operation is a ball controlling operation and the second game operation is a shooting operation.

For another example, in a basketball game, if the first partial action is a move and the second partial action is a catch or a shot, the first game operation is a move operation, and the second game operation is a catch operation or a shot operation. For another example, if the first partial action is a catching ball and the second partial action is a shooting, the first game operation is a catching operation and the second partial action is a shooting operation. For another example, in a combat game, if the first partial action is defense and the second partial action is countermeasure, the first game operation is a defensive operation and the second game operation is a counterattack operation.

For example, when the operation unit 14 is a touch panel, if the first game operation is sliding, the second game operation is touching or dragging. For another example, if the first game operation is a touch, the second game operation is a drag. For another example, when the operation unit 14 is a game controller, if the first game operation is an operation in a first direction of pressing the cross key, the second game operation is an operation in a second direction of pressing the cross key. For another example, if the first game operation is an operation of dumping the rod in the first direction, the second game operation is an operation of dumping the rod in the second direction. For another example, if the first game operation is an operation of pressing a first button, the second game operation is an operation of a second button.

As another example, when using a sensor that detects movement of a person or a game controller, if The first game operation is an operation of raising a hand or a game controller to a first position, and the second game operation is an operation of raising a hand or a game controller to a second position. For another example, if the first game operation is an operation to move the hand or the game controller in the first direction, the second game operation is an operation to move the hand or the game controller in the second direction. As another example, when using sound input, if the first game operation is an operation to input a first sound, the second game operation is an operation to input a second sound.

[3-3. First setting section]

The first setting section 102 is mainly implemented by the control section 11. The first setting unit 102 executes processing for setting the difficulty level of the first game operation based on the first parameter.

The first parameter is a parameter used to set the difficulty of the first game operation, and is a parameter associated with the first local action. In other words, the first parameter is a parameter showing the ability about the first local action. For example, in a baseball game, if the first local action is movement, the first parameter may be both a foot parameter and a skill parameter regarding movement. For another example, if the first local action is a catching ball, the first parameter may be a catching ball parameter and may be a skill parameter about catching the ball.

As another example, in a football game, if the first local action is movement, the first parameter may be both a foot parameter and a skill parameter regarding movement. For another example, if the first local action is to control the ball, the first parameter may be both a technical force parameter and a technical parameter regarding ball control. For another example, in a basketball game, if the first local action is movement, the first parameter may be either a footstep parameter or a skill parameter regarding movement. For another example, if the first local action is a catching ball, the first parameter may be a catching force parameter or a skill parameter about catching the ball. As another example, in a battle game, if the first local action is defense, the first parameter may be either a defense force parameter or a defense parameter.

The processing used to set the difficulty of the game operation is, for example, used to change the game operation The difficulty of making. For another example, it may be a process for changing the ease of success of a game operation, or a process for changing the ease of failure of a game operation. For example, if it is a game operation indicating a direction, it is to change a predetermined direction to be instructed by a game operation. At this time, as the predetermined direction is wider, the difficulty is reduced, and as the predetermined direction is narrower, the difficulty is increased. In this embodiment, a certain direction of the area A30 corresponds to a predetermined direction. In other words, the wider the predetermined direction, the easier the game operation is to succeed, and the narrower the predetermined direction, the easier the game operation to fail.

For another example, if it is a game operation performed at a predetermined timing, it is to change the timing of a game operation to be performed. In this case, the more the timing of the game operation should be delayed, the more difficult the difficulty will be, and the faster the time when the game operation should be performed, the more the difficulty will increase. In other words, the delayed the timing of the game operation, the easier it is to succeed, and the faster the timing of the game operation, the more likely the game operation to fail. For another example, the longer the period during which a game operation is accepted, the lower the difficulty, and the shorter the period during which a game operation is accepted, the higher the difficulty. In other words, the longer the period during which the game operation is accepted, the easier the game operation is to succeed, and the shorter the period during which the game operation is accepted, the more the game operation is more likely to fail.

As another example, the moving speed of an image that guides the timing at which a game operation should be performed can be changed, thereby changing the timing at which a game operation should be performed. At this time, the slower the moving speed of the image, the lower the difficulty, and the faster the moving speed of the image, the higher the difficulty. In other words, the slower the moving speed of the image, the easier the game operation is to succeed, and the faster the moving speed of the image, the easier the game operation to fail. For example, when the possible period of the game operation is shortened, the moving speed of the image becomes faster, and when the possible period of the operation is extended, the moving speed of the image becomes slower. In the present embodiment, the period during which the cursor C54 moves over the area A52 corresponds to the timing at which a game operation should be performed, and the cursor C54 corresponds to the moving image.

For another example, if it is a game operation indicating a position, it is necessary to change the position indicated by the game operation. At this time, the wider the area where the game operation should be performed, the lower the difficulty, and the narrower the area where the game operation should be performed, the higher the difficulty. In other words, the wider the area to be performed by the game operation, the easier it is to succeed, and the narrower the area to be performed by the game operation, the more likely it is to fail. In the present embodiment, the area in the guidance image G6 corresponds to a position to be designated by a game operation. As another example, the difficulty can be changed by changing the number of required game operations. For example, the difficulty level may be increased by increasing game operations, and the difficulty level may be decreased by reducing game operations.

In addition, the relationship between the first parameter and the difficulty level may be determined in a mathematical form, a table form, or as a part of a code. The first setting unit 102 performs processing so as to achieve a degree of difficulty associated with the first parameter. For example, the first setting unit 102 may perform processing in a manner that the higher the capability displayed by the first parameter is, the lower the difficulty, and perform processing in a manner that the lower the capability displayed by the first parameter, the higher the difficulty. . In other words, the first setting unit 102 may also perform processing in a manner that the higher the capability displayed by the first parameter is, the easier the first game operation is to be successful, and the lower the capability displayed by the first parameter is, the first game is. The more easily the operation fails, the process is performed. Conversely, the first setting unit 102 may execute processing in a manner that the higher the capability displayed by the first parameter is, the higher the difficulty, and execute the processing in a manner that the lower the capability displayed by the first parameter, the lower the difficulty. . In other words, the first setting unit 102 may also perform processing in such a manner that the higher the capability displayed by the first parameter, the easier the first game operation to fail, and the lower the capability displayed by the first parameter, the first game The easier it is to execute the process in a successful manner.

In the present embodiment, the first setting unit 102 sets the areas A30 to A33 of the guidance image G3 based on the footstep parameters of the wild player character C1. For example, the first setting section 102 The higher the foot distance parameter is, the wider the area A30 is, and the lower the foot distance parameter is, the narrower the area A30 is. For another example, the first setting unit 102 sets the areas A50 to A53 of the guidance image G5 according to the catching parameters of the fielder character C1. For example, the first setting unit 102 is set such that the higher the catching parameter, the wider the area A52, and the lower the catching parameter, the narrower the area A52.

[3-4. First evaluation department]

The first evaluation unit 103 is mainly implemented by the control unit 11. The first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the success of the first game operation.

The success or failure of the game operation is, for example, whether the instruction content performed by the game operation is a predetermined content. For example, if it is a game operation indicating a direction, it is whether the direction indicated by the game operation is a predetermined direction. For another example, if it is a game operation performed at a predetermined timing, whether the timing for performing a game operation is included in a predetermined period. For another example, if it is a game operation indicating a position, whether the position indicated by the game operation is within a predetermined area.

Evaluation refers to, for example, determining whether the game operation succeeded or failed. For example, the evaluation is to determine whether the game operation is good or bad. For example, if it is a game operation indicating a direction, it is determined whether the game operation indicates a predetermined direction. As another example, it is determined whether a deviation (angle) between the direction indicated by the game operation and a predetermined direction is less than a threshold. For another example, if it is a game operation performed at a predetermined timing, it is determined whether the timing for performing a game operation is included in a predetermined period. For another example, to determine whether the time difference between the timing of performing a game operation and the timing of performing a game operation is an under-threshold value.

For another example, if it is a game operation indicating a position, it is to determine whether a position in a predetermined area is indicated by the game operation. As another example, to determine the position indicated by the game operation, Whether the deviation (distance) from the predetermined position is an underfill threshold. For example, when the first game operation is successful, the second game operation is accepted, and when the first game operation fails, the second game operation is not accepted. For another example, when the first game operation is successful, the difficulty of the second game operation may be further increased than when the first game operation fails. For another example, the higher the evaluation of the first game operation, the lower the difficulty of the second game operation.

The first evaluation unit 103 may evaluate the first game operation based on a predetermined evaluation criterion. In this embodiment, when the movement operation corresponds to the first game operation, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the movement operation based on the direction indicated by the movement operation. For example, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the movement operation by determining whether or not the area A30 is instructed by the movement operation. As another example, when the catch operation is equivalent to the first game operation, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the catch operation according to the timing of the catch operation. For example, the first evaluation unit 103 determines whether or not the cursor C54 will stop on the area A52 by performing a catch operation, thereby evaluating the catch operation. For another example, the first evaluation unit 103 determines whether the timing of the catch operation is within a period during which the cursor C54 passes over the area A52, thereby evaluating the catch operation.

In addition to the above, for example, in a football game, if the first partial action is movement, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the movement operation by determining whether the movement operation is a predetermined content. For another example, if the first partial action is ball control, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the ball control operation by determining whether the ball control operation is a predetermined content. As another example, in a basketball game, if the first partial action is movement, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the movement operation by determining whether the movement operation is a predetermined content. As another example, if the first partial action is a catch, the first evaluation unit 103 evaluates the catch operation by determining whether the catch operation is a predetermined content. As another example, in a combat game, if the first partial action is defense, the first evaluation unit 103 determines the defense by Whether the defense operation is a predetermined content to evaluate the defense operation.

[3-5. First operation control section]

The first operation control section 104 is mainly implemented by the control section 11. The first motion control unit 104 determines the success of the first partial motion based on the evaluation result of the first game operation.

The success of the local action is, for example, whether the local action is successful or failed. For example, if it is a defensive action in a baseball game, is the success or failure of each of the actions of moving, receiving, and passing. For example, if it is moving, the case where the fielder character C1 catches up to the ball B is success, and the case where the fielder character C1 does not catch up to the ball B is failure. For another example, if the ball is received, the situation in which the fielder character C1 catches the ball B is successful, the situation in which the fielder character C1 fails to contact the ball B, or the ball B bounces off is failure. For another example, if it is a pass, the situation where the fielder character C1 throws the ball B to the base of the passing destination (the receiver's fielder character C4 can receive the ball) is a success, and the fielder character C1's ball Departure and failure of fielder character C4 cannot catch the ball.

For another example, if it is a shooting action in a football game, whether the action for moving, controlling the ball, or shooting is successful or failed. For example, if it is a movement, the case where the character successfully moves to the ball's drop point is success, and the case where the character cannot move to the ball's drop point is failure. For another example, if the ball is in control, the situation where the character successfully makes the ball fall under his feet is success, and the situation where the character fails to contact the ball or the ball bounces off is failure. For another example, if it is a shot, the situation in which the character can kick the ball is successful, and the situation in which the character fails to kick is failure.

For another example, if it is a shooting action in basketball, whether the action for each of moving, receiving, and shooting is successful or failed. For example, if it is moving, the situation where the character catches up to the ball is success, and the situation where the character does not catch up to the ball is failure. For another example, if the ball is received, the situation where the character catches the ball is successful, and the situation where the character fails to touch the ball or the ball bounces off is failure. As another example, if it is a shot, then The case where the character successfully makes the ball fly into the frame of the goal is success, and the case where the character fails to make the ball fly into the frame of the goal is failure.

For another example, if it is a counter-attack action in a combat game, whether the action for defense or counter-measure is successful or failed. For example, if it is a defense, the situation of avoiding or defending an attack is success, and the situation of failing to avoid or defend an attack is failure. For another example, if it is countermeasure, a character's attack hits an enemy as success, and a character's attack hits an enemy as failure.

In addition, the relationship between the evaluation result of the first game operation and the success of the first local action may be determined in advance in a mathematical formula form, a table form, or a part of a code. For example, the first motion control unit 104 may also determine the success of the first partial motion based on the probability associated with the evaluation result of the first game operation. At this time, it can be set that the higher the evaluation of the first game operation is, the higher the probability of success of the first local action is, and the lower the evaluation of the first game operation is, the lower the probability of the first local action is. For another example, the evaluation result of the first game operation is directly associated with the success or failure of the first local action in advance, and the first action control unit 104 may also associate the success or failure with the evaluation result of the first game operation The decision is the success of the first partial action.

In this embodiment, when the movement corresponds to the first partial movement, the first movement control unit 104 determines the success of the movement based on the success of the movement operation. For example, the first motion control unit 104 obtains the probability of success of the movement based on the success of the movement operation, and determines the success of the movement based on the probability. For another example, the first motion control unit 104 determines the success or failure of the catching operation according to the success or failure of the catching operation. For example, the first motion control unit 104 obtains the probability of receiving a ball successfully according to the success or failure of the catching operation, and determines the success of receiving a ball based on the probability.

In addition to the above, for example, in a football game, if the first partial action is movement, the first action control unit 104 determines the success of the movement based on the evaluation result of the movement operation. For another example, if the first partial action is ball control, the first action control unit 104 determines whether the ball control is successful or not based on the evaluation result of the ball control operation. For another example, in a basketball game, if the first partial action is movement, the first action control unit 104 determines the success of the movement based on the evaluation result of the movement operation. For another example, if the first partial action is a catch, the first action control unit 104 determines the success of the catch based on the evaluation result of the catch operation. For another example, in a battle game, if the first local action is defense, the first action control unit 104 determines the success of the defense based on the evaluation result of the defense operation.

[3-6. Second acceptance department]

The second reception unit 105 is mainly implemented by the control unit 11. The second receiving unit 105 receives a second game operation corresponding to the second partial action based on the evaluation result of the first evaluating unit 103. The meaning of the second game operation is as described above. For example, the second receiving unit 105 receives a second game operation based on a detection signal from the operation unit 14.

For example, the second acceptance unit 105 may decide whether to accept the second game operation based on the evaluation result of the first evaluation unit 103. For example, the second acceptance unit 105 determines the acceptance of the second game operation when the evaluation of the first evaluation unit 103 is greater than or equal to the predetermined evaluation, and determines the second game operation when the evaluation of the first evaluation unit 103 is less than the predetermined evaluation. Not accepted.

For another example, the second acceptance unit 105 may also decide whether to accept the second game operation based on the success of the first partial action determined by the evaluation result of the first evaluation unit 103. For example, the second accepting unit 105 determines the acceptance of the second game operation when the first partial action is successful, and determines the unacceptability of the second game operation when the first partial action is failed. Management. In other words, the second acceptance unit 105 determines the acceptance of the second game operation when the first partial action is more than a predetermined evaluation, and determines the second game operation when the first partial action is less than the predetermined evaluation. Accepted.

In the present embodiment, when the movement operation is equivalent to the first game operation, the second receiving unit 105 determines whether to accept the ball receiving operation or the passing operation based on the evaluation result of the movement operation. For another example, when the ball receiving operation is equivalent to the first game operation, the second receiving unit 105 determines whether to accept the ball passing operation based on the evaluation result of the ball receiving operation.

In addition to the above, for example, in a football game, a mobile operation is equivalent to a first game operation situation, and the second receiving unit 105 decides to accept a ball receiving operation or a shooting operation based on the evaluation result of the mobile operation. As another example, when the ball control operation is equivalent to the first game operation, the second receiving unit 105 determines whether to accept the shooting operation based on the evaluation result of the ball control operation. As another example, in a basketball game, a movement operation corresponds to a first partial action, and the second receiving unit 105 determines whether to accept a ball receiving operation or a shooting operation based on the evaluation result of the movement operation. As another example, when the ball receiving operation is equivalent to the first game operation, the second receiving unit 105 determines whether to accept the shooting operation based on the evaluation result of the shooting operation. For another example, in a battle game, if the defense operation is the first game operation, the second receiving unit 105 determines whether to accept a counterattack operation based on the evaluation result of the defense operation.

[3-7. Second setting section]

The second setting section 106 is mainly implemented by the control section 11. The second setting unit 106 executes the difficulty level for setting the second game operation based on the second parameter.

The second parameter is, for example, a parameter for setting the difficulty level of the second game operation, and is a parameter associated with the second local action. In other words, the second parameter is, for example, the display and the second game. Parameters related to the ability of the action. For example, in a baseball game, if the second local action is a catch, the second parameter may be either a catch parameter or a skill parameter related to the catch. For another example, if the second local action is a pass, the second parameter may be either a shoulder force parameter or a skill parameter related to passing.

For another example, in a football game, if the second local action is controlling the ball, the second parameter can be either a technical force parameter or a skill parameter about controlling the ball. For another example, if the second local action is a shot, the second parameter may be either a shot force parameter or a skill parameter related to the shot. For another example, in a basketball game, if the second local action is a catching ball, the second parameter may be a catching force parameter or a skill parameter about catching the ball. For another example, if the second local action is shooting, the second parameter may be either a shooting force parameter or a shooting parameter. For another example, in a battle game, if the second local action is a counterattack attack, the second parameter may be either an attack power parameter or an attack skill parameter.

The meaning of the processing for setting the difficulty of the game operation is as described by the first setting unit 102. The relationship between the second parameter and the difficulty can be determined in advance in a mathematical form, a table form, or a part of a code. The second setting unit 106 executes processing to achieve a degree of difficulty associated with the second parameter. For example, the second setting unit 106 may perform processing in a manner that the higher the capability displayed by the second parameter is, the lower the difficulty, and execute the processing in a manner that the lower the capability displayed by the second parameter, the higher the difficulty. . In other words, the second setting unit 106 may also perform processing in a manner that the higher the capability displayed by the second parameter is, the easier the second game operation is to succeed, and the lower the capability displayed by the second parameter is the second game. The more easily the operation fails, the process is performed. Contrary to the above, the second setting unit 106 may also perform processing in a manner that the higher the capability displayed by the second parameter, the higher the difficulty, and the lower the capability displayed by the second parameter, the more difficult it is. The less susceptible the process is performed. In other words, the second setting unit 106 may also perform processing in a manner that the higher the ability displayed by the second parameter is, the more likely the second game operation fails, and the lower the ability displayed by the second parameter is, the second game is. The easier it is to execute the process in a successful manner.

In this embodiment, the second setting unit 106 sets the areas A50 to A53 of the guidance image G5 based on the catching parameters of the fielder character C1. For example, the second setting unit 106 is set such that the higher the catching parameter, the wider the area A52, and the lower the catching parameter, the narrower the area A52. As another example, the second setting unit 106 sets the size of the guidance image G6 according to the skill parameters of the fielder character C1. For example, the second setting unit 106 is set such that the higher the skill parameter is, the larger the guide image G6 is, and the lower the skill parameter is set, the smaller the guide image G6 is.

In addition, the second setting unit 106 may execute a process for setting the difficulty level of the second game operation based on the evaluation result of the first game operation. At this time, the second setting unit 106 may also perform processing in which the higher the evaluation of performing the first game operation is, the lower the difficulty of the second game operation, and the lower the evaluation of performing the first game operation is, the easier the second game operation is. The higher the degree of processing. In addition to the above, for example, the second setting unit 106 can also force the second game operation to fail based on the evaluation result of the first game operation. For example, the second setting unit 106 may be configured to perform the evaluation of the second game operation when the evaluation of the first game operation is high, and may accept the second game operation when the evaluation of the first game operation is low, However, it is mandatory to fail without evaluation.

[3-8. Second Evaluation Department]

The second evaluation unit 107 is mainly implemented by the control unit 11. The second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the success of the second game operation. The success or failure of the game operation and the meaning of the evaluation are as described by the first evaluation unit 103.

The second evaluation unit 107 only needs to evaluate the second game operation based on a predetermined evaluation criterion. In the present embodiment, when the catch operation is equivalent to the second game operation, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the catch operation based on the timing of the catch operation. For example, the second evaluation unit 107 determines whether or not the cursor C54 has been stopped on the area A52 by performing the catch operation, thereby evaluating the catch operation. For another example, the second evaluation unit 107 determines whether the timing of the catch operation is within a period during which the cursor C54 passes over the area A52, thereby evaluating the catch operation.

For another example, when the passing operation is equivalent to the second game operation, the second evaluation unit 107 evaluates the passing operation according to the position indicated by the passing operation. For example, the second evaluation unit 107 determines whether or not the ball image G7 is dragged onto the guide image G6 by the passing operation, thereby performing the passing operation. For example, the second evaluation unit 107 may evaluate the passing operation based on the degree of overlap (the area of overlap) between the dragged ball image G7 and the guide image G6. The second evaluation unit 107 may also increase the evaluation as the overlap between the ball image G7 and the guide image G6 increases, and decrease the evaluation as the overlap between the ball image G7 and the guide image G6 decreases. For another example, the second evaluation unit 107 may evaluate the passing operation based on the distance between the position of the dragged ball image G7 and the position of the guide image G6. The second evaluation unit 107 may also increase the evaluation as the distance is shorter, and decrease the evaluation as the distance is longer.

In addition to the above, for example, in a football game, if the second partial action is ball control, the second evaluation unit 107 determines whether the ball control operation is a predetermined content, thereby evaluating the ball control operation. For another example, if the second partial action is a shot, the second evaluation unit 107 determines whether the shot operation is a predetermined content, thereby evaluating the shot operation. For another example, in a basketball game, if the second partial action is a catch, the second evaluation unit 107 determines whether the catch operation is a predetermined content, and thereby evaluates the catch operation. For another example, if the second local action is a shot, the second evaluation unit 107 determines whether the shot operation is scheduled, thereby evaluating the shot operation. Another example, in a combat tour In the play, if the second local action is a counterattack attack, the second evaluation unit 107 determines whether the counterattack operation is scheduled, thereby evaluating the counterattack operation.

[3-9. Second motion control section]

The second operation control unit 108 is mainly implemented by the control unit 11. The second motion control unit 108 determines the success of the second local motion based on the evaluation result of the second game operation. The meaning of the success of the local action is as described by the first action control section 104.

In addition, the relationship between the evaluation result of the second game operation and the success of the second partial action may be determined in advance in a mathematical form, a table form, or a part of a code. For example, the second motion control unit 108 may determine the success of the second local motion based on the probability associated with the evaluation result of the second game operation. At this time, as long as the evaluation of the second game operation is higher, the probability of success of the second local action is increased, and the evaluation of the second game operation is lower, the probability of success of the second local action may be reduced. For another example, the evaluation result of the second game operation may be directly related to the success of the second local action, and the second motion control unit 108 may determine whether the second game operation is related to the success of the second game operation. The decision is the success of the second partial action.

In the present embodiment, when receiving a ball corresponds to a second partial action, the second action control unit 108 determines whether the ball is successful or not according to the success of the catch operation. For example, the second motion control unit 108 obtains the probability of success of the ball reception based on the success or failure of the catch operation, and determines the success of the ball reception based on the probability. As another example, when the passing is equivalent to two partial actions, the second action control unit 108 determines whether the passing is successful or not according to the success of the passing operation. For example, the second motion control unit 108 obtains the probability of success of the pass based on the success or failure of the pass operation, and determines the success of the pass based on the probability.

In addition to the above, for example, in a football game, if the second partial action is ball control, the second action control unit 108 determines the success of the ball control based on the evaluation result of the ball control operation. For another example, if the second partial action is a shot, the second action control unit 108 determines the success of the shot based on the evaluation result of the shot operation. For another example, in a basketball game, if the second partial action is a catch, the second action control unit 108 determines whether the catch is successful or not based on the evaluation result of the catch. For another example, if the second partial action is a shot, the second action control unit 108 determines whether the shot is successful or not based on the evaluation result of the shot operation. For another example, in a battle game, if the second partial action is a counterattack attack, the second action control unit 108 determines the success of the counterattack attack based on the evaluation result of the counterattack operation.

[3-10. First compensation decision department]

The first reward determination unit 109 is mainly implemented by the control unit 11. The first reward determination unit 109 determines the first reward based on the evaluation result of the first evaluation unit 103. Reward refers to those who have value in the game, such as in-game currency such as points or coins, game items, game objects, etc.

The relationship between the evaluation result of the first evaluation unit 103 and the first reward may be determined in advance in a mathematical formula form, a table form, or a part of a code. The first reward determination unit 109 determines that the first reward associated with the first evaluation result is the reward to be given. For example, the higher the evaluation of the first game operation, the higher the first reward, and the lower the evaluation of the first game operation, the lower the first reward. In addition, a higher reward means that the amount of money obtained in the game, such as points or coins, changes, and the value (rareness or parameters) of the game items or game objects given increases. Exceptionally, the first reward determination unit 109 may not give the first reward when the first game operation is not performed.

[3-11. Second remuneration decision department]

The second reward determination unit 110 is mainly implemented by the control unit 11. Department of Second Remuneration Decision 110 The second reward is determined based on the evaluation result of the second evaluation unit 107.

The relationship between the evaluation result of the second evaluation unit 107 and the first reward may be determined in advance in a mathematical formula form, a table form, or a part of a code. The second reward determination unit 110 determines that the second reward associated with the second evaluation result is the reward to be given. For example, the higher the evaluation of the second game operation, the higher the second reward, and the lower the evaluation of the second game operation, the lower the second reward. In addition, the second reward determination unit 110 may be set in a case where the second game operation is not performed, and the evaluation of the second game operation itself is not performed, and the second reward is not given.

[3-12. Simulation Department]

The simulation section 111 is mainly implemented by the control section 11. The simulation unit 111 performs simulation of a game. For example, the simulation unit 111 executes a simulation of a game based on a simulation algorithm.

Simulation means, for example, predicting changes in conditions in the game world. In other words, predict the progress of the game, and make the game progress without action. For example, in a game in the form of a battle, the computer executes a simple simulation process that compares the values obtained by each of the plurality of parameters, thereby determining the progress or result of the battle. For example, in a game where teams compete with each other, simulation processing is performed according to the parameters of the first team and the parameters of the second team five. For example, in a game in the form of a battle, a computer executes a simulation process that causes one or more first game objects and one or more second game objects to act virtually and automatically in a virtual space according to parameters. The process or result of a battle.

In this embodiment, the first partial action and the second partial action are performed when the game is in a predetermined condition. The simulation unit 111 repeatedly executes the simulation until the game becomes a predetermined condition. The simulation unit 111 may perform a simulation until the situation is randomly selected from a plurality of situations.

The predetermined condition refers to, for example, a condition of the game world as belonging to a predetermined type. For example, the numerical value of the situation data showing the state of the game world becomes a predetermined value. For example, in a game where the score changes, the score becomes a predetermined value. For example, the game object becomes a predetermined position, a predetermined direction, and a predetermined speed. For example, the time in the world in the game becomes a predetermined time. For example, if it is a defensive action in a baseball game, it is a situation in which a runner appears at a predetermined base during the defensive (a predetermined upper base situation). As another example, a case where the number of good goals, the number of bad goals, and the number of exits becomes a predetermined value. As another example, it is the case of a predetermined number of rounds. As another example, the situation where the next hitter hits the defender's range. For another example, if it is a shooting action in a football game, it is a situation of passing a ball in front of a goal in a game. As another example, a situation where a ball is passed to a moving range of a player character. For another example, if it is a shooting action in a basketball game, it is a situation of passing a ball near the basket during a game. As another example, a situation where a ball is passed to a moving range of a player character. As another example, if it is a counter-attack action in a combat game, it is a situation where it is attacked by a rival. As another example, a situation where a player character is attacked by a rival opponent at a defensive timing.

[4. Processing executed in the game system]

Fig. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed by the game system S. The processing shown in FIG. 18 is executed by the control unit 11 according to a program stored in the memory unit 12. The processing shown in FIG. 18 is an example of processing performed by a functional block.

As shown in FIG. 18, first, when the game starts, the control unit 11 executes a simulation of the game based on the character data DT1 and the game situation data DT2 (S1). In S1, the control unit 11 executes a simple simulation such as a movement of a character, a movement of a ball, and the like based on a simulation algorithm, parameters of each character, positions and random numbers of each character, and the like.

The control department 11 determines whether our team is a defensive aircraft based on the simulation results. A predetermined situation will occur (S3). In S3, the control unit 11 determines whether the hit ball has flown into the defensive range of the field player characters of our team. When it is determined that it is a predetermined condition (S3; Yes (Y)), the control unit 11 is a simulation result until the game image G1 is displayed until the predetermined condition is reached (S5). The game image G1 in S5 is displayed in a state as shown in the game images G1A to G1C in FIG. 2, and the game is performed without a user's operation.

When the simulation result of the predetermined situation is displayed, the control unit 11 displays a message indicating that the defense opportunity of our team is coming (S7). In S7, the state of the game image G1D in the second figure is reached, and the progress of the game is stopped. The control unit 11 switches the display, displays the state of the game space on the game image G1 (S9), and executes the movement process of the field character C1 (S11). In S9, the state of the game image G1E in FIG. 3 is obtained.

Fig. 19 is a detailed diagram showing the movement processing. As shown in FIG. 19, the control unit 11 determines the time limit for moving operation (S111). In S111, the control unit 11 determines the playback time when moving based on the defensive force parameter of the fielder character C1, thereby determining the time limit. When the defensive force parameter is higher, the control unit 11 slows down the playback speed and sets the limit time longer, and when the defensive force parameter is lower, it increases the playback speed and sets the limit time shorter. For another example, the control unit 11 may determine the playback speed when moving based on the technical parameters of the field character C1. When the field player character C1 has a predetermined defensive skill, the control unit 11 slows down the playback speed and sets the time limit to a long time.

After that, the pitcher characters pitched the ball and the hitter characters hit. The pitching of the pitcher character, the hit of the hitter character, and the whereabouts of the ball are simulated in S1. When the hitter character strikes, the control unit 11 plays the video in slow motion according to the playback speed determined in S111 (S113), and displays a marker image G2 around the ball B (S115). The marker image G2 moves with the ball B.

The control unit 11 displays a guide image G3 under the foot according to the foot course parameters of the field player character C1 (S117). In S117, the control unit 11 determines the proportion of each of the areas A30 to A33 based on the footstep parameters. The control unit 11 determines the positions of the areas A30 to A33 based on the position of the fielder character C1 and the trajectory of the ball B.

The control unit 11 determines whether or not the time limit for the movement operation has elapsed (S119). The control unit 11 starts timing from the acceptance of the movement operation (the start of the display of the guidance image G3), and determines in S119 whether the elapsed time from the start of the timing exceeds the limit time set in S111.

When it is determined that the time limit has not elapsed (S119; No (N)), the control unit 11 determines whether a movement operation has been performed based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S121). In S121, the control unit 11 determines whether the touch panel of the operation unit 14 is slid.

When it is determined that the movement operation has been performed (S121; Yes (Y)), the control unit 11 performs evaluation of the movement operation (S123). In S123, the control unit 11 converts the direction on the touch panel shown by the movement operation to the game space, and in the areas A30 to A33, according to the standing position of the fielder character C (the center point O of the guide image G3) , Specifying the area in the direction indicated by the direction of the transition. The control unit 11 determines the evaluation based on the specified area.

The control unit 11 determines the obtained score of the movement operation (S125). In S125, the control unit 11 sets a higher score when the evaluation of the mobile operation is higher, and sets a lower score when the evaluation of the mobile operation is lower. In addition, when it is determined that the limited time has elapsed without performing a movement operation (S119; Yes (Y)), the processing of S123 and S125 is performed. In addition, in this case, the processing of S123 and S125 will not be executed, and the evaluation of the mobile operation itself will not be performed. Performed without giving a score to the move operation.

The control unit 11 determines whether the movement of the fielder character C1 is successful (S127). In S127, when a movement operation is performed, the control unit 11 obtains the probability of successful movement based on the evaluation result in S125 and the foot parameters of the field player character C1, and determines whether the movement is successful based on the probability. On the other hand, when no movement operation is performed, the control unit 11 determines whether the movement is successful based on the foot parameters of the fielder character C1. When the field parameter of the fielder character C1 is very high, the movement can be successful even without moving.

Returning to FIG. 18, the control unit 11 determines whether the movement of the person has succeeded based on the movement processing performed in S11 (S13). When it is not determined that the movement of the character is successful (S13; No (N)), the processes of S15 to S19 are not executed, and the process shifts to S21. At this time, without receiving and passing the ball, the fielder character C1 will automatically move and end the defending opportunity. Because the ball receiving operation and the passing operation are not performed, it is not possible to obtain the points of the ball receiving operation and the ball passing operation. In addition, even if an error occurs during the movement, the failure of the movement will not be caused.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the movement of the character is successful (S13; Yes (Y)), the control unit 11 executes the catching process of the character (S15).

Fig. 20 is a detailed diagram showing a catching process. As shown in FIG. 20, the control unit 11 determines the time limit for catching the ball (S151). In S151, the control unit 11 determines the predetermined speed stored in the memory unit 12 as the playback speed at the time of catching the ball, thereby determining the time limit for catching the ball. The control unit 11 plays the video in slow motion based on the playback speed determined in S151 (S153).

The control unit 11 displays the guidance image G5 based on the catching parameters of the fielder character C1 (S155). In S155, the control unit 11 determines the area A50 based on the catch parameter. Ratio of each area to A53. Then, the control unit 11 starts the movement of the cursor C54 and accepts the ball receiving operation. Exceptionally, the marker image G2 can also be eliminated at the timing of S155.

The control unit 11 determines whether or not the time limit for catching operation has elapsed (S157). The control unit 11 counts the time from the reception of the catch operation. In S157, it is determined whether the elapsed time from the start of the timing exceeds the limit time set in S151. When it is determined that the time limit has not elapsed (S157; No (N)), the control unit 11 determines whether or not a catch operation has been performed based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S159). In S159, the control unit 11 determines whether the touch panel of the operation unit 14 has been touched.

When it is determined that a catch operation has been performed (S159; Yes (Y)), the control unit 11 stops the cursor C54 and performs an evaluation of the catch operation (S161). In S161, the control unit 11 evaluates the catch operation based on the stop position of the cursor C54.

The control unit 11 determines the score of the catch operation (S163). In S163, the control unit 11 sets the score to be higher when the evaluation of the catch operation is higher, and sets the score to be lower when the evaluation of the catch operation is lower. In addition, when it is determined that the time limit has elapsed without performing a catch operation (S157; Yes (Y)), the processes of S161 and S163 are executed. In addition, in this case, the processes of S161 and S163 may not be performed, and the evaluation of the catch operation itself will not be performed without giving a score of the catch operation.

The control unit 11 determines whether the ball is successfully received (S165). In S165, when a catching operation is performed, the control unit 11 obtains the probability of successful catching based on the evaluation result in S161 and the catching parameters of the fielder character C1, and determines whether the catching is successful based on the probability. On the other hand, in the case where the ball receiving operation is not performed, the control unit 11 determines whether the ball is successfully received according to the ball receiving parameters of the field player character C1. When the field player C1's catching parameters are very high, Even if the ball is not received, it will succeed.

Returning to FIG. 18, the control unit 11 determines whether the character has successfully received the ball based on the ball receiving process performed in S15 (S17). When it is not determined that the character has successfully received the ball (S17; No (N)), the process of S19 is not executed, and the process moves to S21. At this time, no pass operation is performed, and the fielder character C1 will automatically move and end the defending opportunity. Since no pass operation was performed, no score for the pass operation can be obtained. In addition, even if a mistake occurs in the catch, it will not be a situation where the catch fails.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the movement of the character is successful (S17; Yes (Y)), the control unit 11 executes the pass processing of the character (S19).

Fig. 21 is a detailed diagram showing the pass processing. As shown in FIG. 21, the control unit 11 moves the virtual camera (S191). In S191, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 11 moves the virtual camera so that the direction of the virtual camera's line of sight is toward the barrier of the passing destination.

The control unit 11 determines the limit time of the passing operation based on the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1 (S193). In S193, the control unit 11 determines the time limit based on the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1. The control unit 11 decides that the higher the shoulder force parameter, the longer the limit time, and the lower the shoulder force parameter, the shorter the limit time. Exception, as mentioned above, the playback speed can be a fixed value. The control unit 11 plays back the video in slow motion based on the playback speed (S195).

The control unit 11 displays the guidance image G6 based on the skill parameters of the fielder character C1 (S197). In S197, the control unit 11 determines the size of the guidance image G6 based on the skill parameter. For example, when the fielder character C1 has a passing skill, the control section 11 enlarges the guidance image G6 more than the case where the passing skill does not have the passing skill. Exception, as described above, the control section 11 The stillness of the guidance image G6 may also be determined according to the distance between the fielder character C1 or the ball B and the base of the passing destination.

The control unit 11 determines whether or not the time limit for the passing operation has elapsed (S199). The control unit 11 starts timing from the acceptance of the passing operation. In S199, it is determined whether the elapsed time from the start of the timing exceeds the limit time set in S141.

When it is determined that the time limit has not elapsed (S199; No (N)), the control unit 11 determines whether a pass operation has been performed based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S201). In S201, the control unit 11 determines whether the operation unit 14 has dragged the ball image G7.

When it is determined that the passing operation has been performed (S201; Yes (Y)), the control unit 11 performs evaluation of the passing operation (S203). In S203, the control unit 11 evaluates the passing operation based on the degree of overlap between the dragged ball image G7 and the guide image G6.

The control unit 11 determines the score of the passing operation (S205). In S205, the control unit 11 performs: the higher the evaluation of the passing operation, the more points are obtained, and the lower the evaluation of the passing operation, the lower is the point. In addition, when the pass operation is not performed and it is determined that the time limit has elapsed (S199; Yes (Y)), the processes of S203 and S205 are executed. In addition, in this case, the processing of S203 and S205 may not be performed, and the evaluation of the passing operation itself will not be performed without giving a score for the passing operation.

The control unit 11 determines the success of the pass based on the evaluation result of the pass operation (S207). In S207, when a passing operation is performed, the control unit 11 obtains the probability of successful passing based on the evaluation result in S203 and the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1, and determines whether the passing is based on the probability. success. On the other hand, when the passing operation is not performed, the control unit 11 determines whether the passing is successful based on the shoulder force parameter of the fielder character C1. Become a wild player character C1 In the case of a very high shoulder force parameter, even if the pass operation is not performed, the pass may be successful.

Returning to FIG. 18, the control unit 11 decides to obtain a score by using a continuous defensive action (S21), and returns to the processing of S1 to execute the simulation of the remaining matches. At this time, an animation after passing the ball is played, and after the score obtained in S21 is displayed, the game image G1 returns to the state shown in FIG. 2. In addition, the score can also be displayed every time a local action such as moving, receiving, or passing is performed.

In S3, when it is determined that a defensive opportunity has not occurred even after the game is over (S3; No (N)), the control unit 11 determines whether a defensive opportunity has come a predetermined number of times during the game (S23). The predetermined number of times may be a predetermined number of times, and may be, for example, about two or three times, or three or more.

When it is not determined that the defensive opportunity has come a predetermined number of times (S23; No (N)), the process returns to S1, and the simulation is repeated from a predetermined time point in the past. The past scheduled time point refers to the point in time when the defensive opportunity has not yet arrived and the starting point of the game; if there is a defensive opportunity to come, the end point of the latest defensive opportunity. On the other hand, when it is determined that the defensive opportunity has come a predetermined number of times (S23; Yes (Y)), this process ends.

According to the game system described above, the second game operation corresponding to the second local action, such as a ball receiving or passing, is accepted based on the evaluation result of the first game operation corresponding to the first local action such as moving or catching the ball. , So you can evaluate a consistent action in detail and increase the interest of the game.
