Description

Gaming devices and programs

The present invention relates to a game device and program, and more particularly to a game device capable of outputting items of a character of a game.

Previously, there was disclosed a game device that outputs a card printed with information including an image of a character appearing in the game according to the progress of the game, and can output the card by reading the output card by the game machine. A character card whose role is further changed (Patent Document 1).

In recent years, there is a game device that reads a card on which characters, equipment, and the like are drawn, and provides and uses a NPC (Non-Player Character) or other player's character corresponding to the card. Battle-type theater. In this type of game device, as the player wins the battle, the character appearing in the game is output as a card as in Patent Document 1, whereby the player can start a new character card. In addition, after the game, the player can use the character that he or she uses to grow in accordance with the content of the game as a new card.

In addition, in order to keep the player's interest in providing the game, it is preferable that special characters, such as the so-called leader role, which may become the player's goal, appear on specific conditions. That is, such a special character is obtained only as a card by a player who has won the battle with the character, which is the state in which the card is held as a certain player, thereby improving the satisfaction of the player. Furthermore, the player's interest in providing games can be continued.

[Prior technical literature] [Patent Literature]

[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-062342

Generally speaking, because of the difficulty of starting a special character, when the player starts the character and uses it in the game, set the parameters that make the game favorable. That is, when it is easy to start such a special character, there may be a difference in the progress of the game among players or the superiority in the battle between players, which may reduce the interest of players. Therefore, for special character systems, the difficulty level of the strategy is set to be high (it is not easy to win in the battle), in order to win, players need to be prepared to repeat the game to grow their own characters and so on.

On the other hand, from the viewpoint of player satisfaction as described above, playing against special characters is attractive to players. Therefore, when the player chooses to play against the character without being prepared as described above, the possibility of obtaining the desired result is low, and the interest of the player may still be reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to provide a game device and a program that meet the requirements of players on the one hand and achieve better game balance on the other.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the game device of the present invention is characterized by having an execution mechanism that executes processing of a game related to the game once upon completion of the consideration payment; a setting mechanism that is executed by the execution mechanism whenever For the first game, set any of the following modes: The first mode is a one-player game that provides a character corresponding to the player and an opponent character appearing in the game; and the first game The second mode with different modes is for a plurality of players to provide a match game between a character corresponding to each of the plurality of players and an opponent character; and a control mechanism for a single game, according to the setting The mode set by the organization determines the role that can be selected as the output target; and the control mechanism is between the first mode and the second mode, which makes the role that can be selected as the output target different.

With such a structure, according to the present invention, a game device and program that can meet the requirements of players and achieve a better game balance can be provided.

[Embodiment]

Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, an embodiment of the following description is described as an example of a game device, which is performed by recognizing an item of a character of the game, that is, a card, and using the character, and playing against each other while applying the effect corresponding to the drawing result. An example of the present invention is applied to a game device of a game. However, the present invention can be applied to perform a battle game with characters appearing in the game, and has a mode in which one player uses a corresponding character to perform a game, and each of a plurality of players uses a corresponding character to perform a game. Arbitrary machine of the two modes of game processing.

"Configuration of Game Device 100"

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a game device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The control unit 101 is, for example, a CPU, and controls operations of each block included in the game device 100. Specifically, the control unit 101 reads an operation program of each block recorded in, for example, the recording medium 102, and executes the execution program in the memory 103 to control the operation of each block.

The recording medium 102 is, for example, a nonvolatile memory or a HDD such as a recording device that can hold data permanently. The recording medium 102, in addition to the operation programs of each block of the game device 100, also stores information such as parameters required for the operation of each block or various graphic data used in the game executed by the game device 100. The memory 103 is a memory device used for temporary data memory such as a volatile memory. The memory 103 is used not only as an expanded area for the operation program of each block, but also as a storage area for temporarily storing data and the like output during the operation of each block.

The character DB 104 is a database that manages information of characters appearing in a game executed in the game device 100 of this embodiment. The data managed for one role may have a data structure as shown in FIG. 5 (a), for example. In the example of FIG. 5 (a), the identification information of the character, that is, the character ID 501 is established, and the following information preset for the character is managed: the capability information 502 indicating the ability parameters inherent to the character such as physical strength or attack power; indicating the attack Command information about parameters (actions) that can command the character (action), such as skills (improving the adverse effects of damage or inability to act on the enemy character), or defensive and restoring skills (improving the effect of reducing or restoring the damage of the own character) 503; and level information 504 indicating a level preset as belonging to the character. This information is inherently required for each of the characters appearing in the game. In addition, the information does not need to be fixed for the character, and may be configured to change the value according to the use of the character or the growth level of the player or the content of the game. In addition, a plurality of types of instructions may be set as one commandable command for one character, and the command information 503 is composed of at least one commandable command-related parameter.

The mode setting unit 105 sets a game mode related to one game executed in the game device 100. The so-called one game refers to a series of actions related to a battle game that is performed without paying for the number of players who are playing the game in the same game device 100 at the same time. (Game start to end (determining victory or loss)). In the battle game of this embodiment, there are three types of game modes as follows:

1. A game mode in which a player of 1 player instructs a character corresponding to the player to play against a character corresponding to the opponent, that is, an NPC (1P mode)

2. A game mode where each player of 2 players gives instructions to a character corresponding to himself and plays against a character corresponding to another player (2P battle mode: the opponent is a player other than himself)

3. A game mode (2P cooperation mode) in which a 2-player player instructs a character corresponding to each player to play against a character corresponding to a rival opponent, that is, an NPC.

These modes are categorized into the following two modes from the viewpoint of whether the game difficulty (difficulty of victory in the battle game) in the battle game with the same opponent character changes. The first mode is the first mode (1P mode, 2P battle mode) in which the difficulty of the attack usually does not change because only the character corresponding to the 1-player always acts on the character corresponding to the opponent. ). Also, in the second game, the second mode (2P cooperation mode), in which the difficulty of attacking is lower than usual, is played because the characters corresponding to the plural (2 player) players alternately play against opponent characters.

Moreover, in the battle game of this embodiment, in any game mode, each player can set 3 characters as characters used for one game. In contrast, the characters that can be selected as the opponent characters are different in each game mode, and the opponent characters can be set based on the player's operation input among the characters that can be selected in each game mode. In the 1P mode, there are 3 characters who choose from the first type of role that sets the normal level of difficulty, or the second type that is set in advance as the level of difficulty of the so-called leader role (special character). One character selected by the character is set as the opponent character. In the 2P battle mode, as described above, the opponent characters for one player are the three characters set as the characters used by the other player. In the 2P cooperation mode, the two-player co-op opponent role is only one character selected from the characters in the second category. That is, in this implementation In the form of the battle game, the player can choose to play the game alone or in cooperation with other players in the second category of the game.

In this way, for players who have fully grown the characters they use and are ready for the second category of characters, they can set a specific level of difficulty (higher than the first category of characters) for the special role. Provide a better gaming experience. On the other hand, for players who have not fully grown their own characters, they can also target the characters in the second category by relatively reducing the difficulty of the strategy by cooperating with other players to perform the game. The possibility of creating a strategy can easily avoid situations that may reduce the interest of players.

In addition, in this embodiment, in the 2P cooperation mode, a two-player player can use a corresponding character to explain the player against the opponent character, but it is easy to understand that the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a game device 100 may have a control panel (a component that accepts operation inputs) that can be operated by three or more players simultaneously, or a control panel that can be operated by two or more players simultaneously by three or more people. Players are constructed in a sequence of alternate use. In addition, the game related to the 2P cooperation mode may be constituted such that, in addition to one game device, a plurality of game devices 100 are also communicatively connected, and a game of three or more players can play a battle game.

The lottery unit 106 performs lottery processing in the battle game of this embodiment. In the battle game of this embodiment, the instruction selected in the battle between the characters is selected and executed based on the result of the lottery performed by the lottery unit 106. In a battle game, as described above, a player of 1 person can basically use 3 characters as a group to play against a character that is the opponent of the opponent. Therefore, the player selects instructions for each of the corresponding 3 characters. Related lottery operations. The lottery section 106 performs lottery for each of the three characters when there is a lottery request, and outputs the selected card array for all characters as the lottery result. In this embodiment, the drawing operation of the drawing unit 106 is controlled based on the operation input of each player accepted by the operation input unit 110 described later.

The rendering unit 107 performs rendering processing such as a GPU and generates a game-related screen. Its drawing device. The drawing unit 107 draws a game screen related to the game of this embodiment. Specifically, the drawing unit 107 draws necessary drawing objects according to information such as in-game parameters and the like according to the progress of the game during execution of game processing described later, and performs appropriate calculation processing to perform drawing.

The display unit 108 is a display device included in the game device 100 such as an LCD. A game screen drawn by the drawing unit 107 is displayed on the display unit 108. In the present embodiment, the display unit 108 is described as being built in the game device 100, but may be any display device externally connected to the game device 100.

The identification unit 109 performs detection of a card mounted on a specific portion of the game device 100 and identification of the card. The identification unit 109 captures the two-dimensional code 201 attached to the card as shown in FIG. 2 by an unillustrated camera device, and applies a specific operation to the obtained image to obtain the representation represented by the two-dimensional code. Information. By attaching a QR code attached to a card that can be used in the game of this embodiment, information such as the data structure shown in FIG. 5 (b) is obtained. The information obtained from the QR code of the card as shown in Figure 5 (b) includes: information indicating that the player who outputs the card as a result of performing the game, that is, holder information of the holder of the card 511; The card ID displays the character ID 512 for specifying the character corresponding to the card; and other information 513. The other information 513 may also include, for example, a result of a play, information indicating growth parameters corresponding to the growth of the character of the card.

In addition, in this embodiment, the information including growth parameters in other information 513 will be described, but the growth parameter information can also be obtained in a server (not shown) and managed for each player (output as a card) The information of each role is associated and managed. In this case, for example, the control unit 101 only needs to use the character ID 512 obtained as a result of the identification to specify the growth parameter information and obtain it. In addition, the identification unit 109 of the game device 100 of the present embodiment described here is a hardware device having a card reading function, but it is not limited to this. The identification device having a reading function may also exist as a single unit, and The identification unit 109 may be configured to obtain an identification result of the identification device.

The operation input unit 110 is a user interface included in the game device 100 in a selection mode or a lottery operation, such as a key for determining a selected card array. The operation input unit 110 outputs a control signal corresponding to the operation input to the control unit 101 or the lottery unit 106 when detecting an operation input completed by various user interfaces. In addition, in this embodiment, the game device 100 is described with a variety of interfaces as physical operating members, but may include touch input detection sensing that detects touch input completed on the screen of the display unit 108, for example.器 等。 And other. In addition, the game device 100 of this embodiment has a control panel. The control panel is constructed in such a way that two players can operate at the same time, and each player in the game is arranged in different areas on the upper surface. For the operation member group, the operation input unit 110 detects an operation input performed on the control panel.

The output unit 111 is to output items corresponding to the character selected by the player from the characters that can be selected as the output object for each player participating in the game after the end of the game. In this embodiment, an item corresponding to a character is a card having a pattern (image) of the character as shown in FIG. 2, and the above-mentioned holder information 511 is added and output. The output unit 111 is a discharge mechanism having a printing device and a print medium, and prints and outputs an image and a specific graphic data of a character selected based on an instruction from the control unit 101 to a specific print medium (card). In the battle game of this embodiment, at the end of one game, the player can obtain a card printed with either the in-game battle character or the character used in the game. The content printed to the card is different according to the progress of the game. In this embodiment, the so-called unique thing (unique) that can be held only by the player is output because the printing corresponding to the content is performed at each game. Only one item) card. It should be noted that although the article is described as a card in this embodiment, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the output unit 111 is a so-called 3D printer or other device capable of generating a three-dimensional modeling object, the article may be a modeling object such as a character-related figure, and the output unit 111 may also add a holder to the modeling object. The information 511 is output. As another example, the output unit 111 is configured as a sorting machine with a plurality of toys, and can selectively output toys related to a specific character. The product may be the toy, and the output unit 111 may be constructed by adding the corresponding player's holder information 511 to the toy and outputting the toy.

The communication section 112 is a communication interface that the game device 100 has with an external device. The communication unit 112 can be connected to an external device through a communication network such as the Internet, a cable, or the like, regardless of a wired or wireless communication medium, and can transmit and receive data. The game device 100 according to this embodiment is configured to receive program data that encapsulates a program related to a game process from an external device via the communication unit 112. When the control unit 101 receives the program data together with the program update request through the communication unit 112, the control unit 101 can use the received program data according to the update request to use the program related to the game-related processing currently stored in the recording medium 102. Update. In addition, the update processing of the program related to the game may be automatically executed when, for example, program data recorded in a recording medium is inserted into an optical drive (not shown) included in the game device, or it may be executed by the The manager executes the start command.

Game Summary

Here, an outline of a game executed in the game device 100 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the game device 100 of this embodiment, first, the player pays the consideration (the input of a coin or a token equivalent) to the coin input port of the game device 100 (not shown) as a trigger, and starts a game-related event. Game processing described later. After the game processing starts, the first coin player (1P player) can choose from 1P mode, 2P battle mode, and 2P cooperation mode to set the mode related to this game. Then, according to the selected mode, the players participating in the game are each player who logs in the characters (using characters) used in the game to 3 players. The registration using a character can be performed by sequentially placing the cards corresponding to the character in a specific place and recognizing them as described above. In the game device 100 of this embodiment, since one recognition device is provided and the recognition unit 109 performs recognition processing in order, when two players participate in the game, the use of character registration is performed on a player-by-player basis. . That is, for example, for 1P After the player has identified the three cards related to the registration of the used characters and completed the determination of the used characters, the player then performs registration of the three used characters (2P players) for the participation indication (additional coin input) after the above mode selection. Relevant cards are identified and the use of characters is determined.

After the use of the character is determined, based on the operation input of the 1P player, the opponent character is decided. Specifically, for the opponent characters, in the 1P mode, as the characters found in a specific area, three characters selected from the characters of the first category are determined. Or in the 1P mode, only one character (special character) selected based on the operation input among the characters in the second category is determined as the opponent character. That is, in the 1P mode, the player can select a character to play as an opponent character from the first category and the second category. Also, in the 2P battle mode, the role of the 2P player is determined as the opponent's role. Also, in the 2P cooperation mode, only one character selected from the characters in the second category based on the operation input is determined as the opponent character.

After the decision of the opponent character is played, the processing of the game moves to the processing of the start of the battle game, and each player can perform an action corresponding to the command to the using character by deciding on the command to use the character command. In the battle game of this embodiment, the command for using the character is determined by the lottery process of the lottery unit 106. Specifically, in the game screen shown in FIG. 3 (a), when the rotation performance of the turntable having a card array corresponding to the instruction for each character is completed, the operation of stopping rotation is performed. The winning selection (determined selection) can be determined by the lottery process. In FIG. 3 (a), above each of the images 301a to c of the use characters arranged in the horizontal direction, a graphic (card array) corresponding to the command that may be selected for each use character is displayed arranged in the vertical direction. The turntable further displays images 301d to e of the characters of the opponent. As shown in Fig. 3 (a), the card array selected as the result of the lottery is basically the card array displayed in area 302. The card array displayed in this area 302 during the performance is rotated to be arranged on the turntable. The order is switched. By performing the operation of stopping the turn of the turntable, the player can determine the selected card array that stays in the area 302, and can use the corresponding role of the action pair corresponding to the selected card array as an instruction to kill. make.

In addition, the lottery processing in the battle game of this embodiment is different depending on the control method based on the player's operation input depending on whether the set game mode is the first mode or the second mode. As described above, the second mode (2P cooperation mode) is to provide the player with the game player's requirements and relative ease of making the special character's strategy difficult to reduce, as a game experience. In the 2P cooperation mode, it will be determined by the command for the player's use of the character, the action accompanying the use of the character and the parameter update of the opponent's character accompanying the action, and the action of the opponent's character and accompanying the The parameters of the action use character are updated to one set of rounds, while the player who becomes the main body of the round is alternated. That is, the target of completing the parameter update (damaged, etc.) accompanying the action of the opponent character in consecutive rounds is different, and the target of the lottery process is also different in consecutive rounds. As a result, compared with the case where a battle game with a special character is performed in the 1P mode, the number of rounds in which each player's use character can survive (the total damage does not satisfy the state of the physical strength preset for the use character) simply extends, The possibility of victory in the battle game is further increased.

In addition, in the battle game of this embodiment, in order to further provide a two-player cooperative experience for one of the games, in a round in which one player performs a mid-selection to determine the relevant operation input, the other player can also intervene in the lottery. The way of processing constitutes. Specifically, in the round in which the 1P player performs the operation input related to the selection of the card array, the 2P player can change the rotation speed of the turntable in the lottery process by performing specific operation input on the operation member prepared for the player. That is, the switching speed of the tiles displayed in the area 302. The specific operation input is, for example, a person who completes a predetermined number of times of the so-called continuous typing input within a specific period as a necessary condition for the success of the input. When the operation input is judged to be successful, the drawing unit 106 causes the drawing process The controls are different. The specific operation input can be notified as shown in FIG. 3 (b) by the 2P player side prompt input indication display 311 in the game screen. When integrating the operation input, it can also be completed as with 312 and the usual Different display performances, and it is easy to see that the switching speed of the card array is reduced. With this, even By giving a player a round of action with a character for one player, by giving the other player an opportunity to intervene in the lottery process, it can also provide a gaming experience that may give a sense of tension or unity.

When the battle game is over, the player can choose one of the characters that can be selected as the output target from the characters that appear in the game, and output a card printed with the character's image. The characters that can be selected as the output object basically include the characters used by each player, and furthermore, the opponent characters may be included according to the type or result of the competition game.

In the case of a battle game in the 1P mode with a second-type opponent character, it is decided to include the opponent character only in a case in which the opponent can be selected as an output target only when the result of the battle is a victory condition.

On the other hand, in the case of a 2P cooperation mode and a 2nd type opponent opponent game, there is no question about the result of the competition. The role that can be selected as the output target does not include the opponent opponent character. It is optional for each player The character as the output object becomes only the player's use character. That is, the game can be favorably developed when the card is used and used as a character (the above-mentioned level is assigned to the level information 504, and the command information 503 includes parameters that generate a game that is advantageous. The role of the second type of the command) is controlled in such a manner that it can be selected as an output target only when a match result that satisfies victory conditions is obtained in the 1P mode. The reason is that by setting the 2P cooperation mode, the difficulty of the strategy related to the character of the second type is reduced and the victory condition is satisfied. If the character can be output as a card, that is, if the character's card can be easily started, it may be possible. Causes the game's balance to collapse.

In other words, if you can use a character that can develop a battle game beneficially from the beginning of the game experience, you can often get good results in battle games such as the 1P mode, so it is easy to make the player "tired". In addition, it may result in such players occupying the upper rank of the game score and the like, and there may be a possibility of reducing the interest of players who use the game for a long time. Therefore, in the game device 100 of this embodiment, there is no relation to the result of the match. In the 2P cooperation mode, the characters that can be selected as the output target do not include the opponent role, that is, the second type. The way the characters are controlled.

In addition, in this embodiment, it is considered to reduce the difficulty of the strategy in the 2P cooperation mode, and the opponents whose characters can be selected as output targets will be explained. However, the reduction of the player's interest can also be achieved by other structures. achieve. For example, in the case where a battle result that satisfies the conditions of victory can be obtained even in the 2P cooperation mode, the opponent character can be included in the character that can be selected as the output target. However, in this case, it can also be configured to recognize the card and use it as a using character when the opponent's character is output in the 2P cooperation mode, as compared to identifying and outputting the same character card as the using character in the 1P mode. In use, the parameter adjustment is completed in such a way that the competitive game can be advantageously developed.

Game Processing

Hereinafter, specific processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4 for the game processing executed in the game device 100 of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration. The processing corresponding to the flowchart can be realized by the control unit 101 reading, for example, a corresponding processing program stored in the recording medium 102, and developing and executing it in the memory 103. The game processing will be described as a starter when the completion of, for example, the first coin input (by a 1P player) is detected (payment of consideration).

In addition, in the game device 100 of this embodiment, in the operation member group separated from the two parts on the control panel, the first coin related to the game is input, and the player on the operation member group side that first receives the operation input is set. As a 1P player, in the game mode for a 2-player game, the player on the side of the operation member group of the other party who completes the operation input after the continuous coin input is set as the 2P player. When the control unit 101 selects a player alternately in the game mode for a two-player game and executes the processing of each step, the control unit 101 performs the order of 1P player and 2P player set in this manner. However, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to specify which player is fixed for each operation member group on the control panel. The control unit 101 may also select in a different order from the order of completing the operation input. Player way to enter 行 控制。 Line control.

In S401, the control unit 101 determines whether the game mode selection related to the current game is completed. Specifically, the control section 101 determines whether or not the operation input related to the selection of the game mode is completed in the operation input section 110. The control unit 101 moves the processing to S402 when it is determined that the game mode selection is completed, and repeats the processing of this step when it is determined that it is not completed. In addition, when it is determined that the mode selection is not completed in a specific period specified as a timeout, the control unit 101 causes the mode setting unit 105 to determine the game mode related to the current game as the 1P mode and move the processing to S414. .

In S402, the mode setting unit 105 is under the control of the control unit 101, and sets the game mode for the current game based on the completed game mode selection. The setting of the game mode is performed by changing, for example, a parameter related to the game mode managed by the memory 103 to a corresponding value. The setting of the game mode in this step is because the additional consideration payment will be used as a determining element when setting the game mode for two-player games as described below. Therefore, the setting of the game mode in this step is not intended for This game will be finalized by the final determiner. On the other hand, since there are no specific requirements for setting the 1P mode, the game mode for this game is determined as the 1P mode.
