DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game apparatus for changing a parameter relating to a character or a rate of change thereof according to a positional relationship between the characters, a method of changing a parameter of the character, and a recording medium for the method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, a role playing game (hereinafter, referred to as RPG) has been known in which a plurality of characters form a party to move in a field, and successively solve a problem while repeating battles with appearing characters. I have. In such an RPG, the player makes use of various abilities given to the character to battle the enemy character. Normally, as the battle is repeated and the task is cleared, the ability given to the character grows.

[0003]

Generally, in the RPG, the ability given to the character does not change during the battle, and the action that the character can take in each battle may be limited. That is, since the character's ability is limited, the strategy of the game may be limited.

[0004]

An object of the present invention is to provide a game apparatus, a parameter changing method of a character, and an information recording medium for changing a character's ability under a situation such as a battle, thereby enhancing a game's strategy. Is to do.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a game apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention comprises a character moving means for moving a character within a predetermined area, and a character moving means for moving the character within a predetermined area. A positional relationship determining means for determining a positional relationship between the character and another character; and a parameter value or parameter value associated with the character when the positional relationship determining device determines that the character has a predetermined positional relationship. Character parameter changing means for changing the change rate.

[0006] In the above game device, the parameters associated with the character can be changed according to the positional relationship with other characters. Thus, for example,
By moving the character by the character moving means as the specific other character moves within the predetermined area, it is possible to change the parameter associated with the character to change the movement of the character. Become. That is, it is possible to cause the character to advance a technique that cannot be advanced unless the parameter reaches a predetermined value, and to strengthen the attack and defense against the enemy character. For this reason, the strategy of the game can be enhanced.

The parameters associated with the character include, for example, the experience value of the character, offensive and defensive power when fighting an enemy character, and HP
(Hit point: value indicating the physical strength (endurance) of the character), SP (special technique point: value for enabling the character to perform a special technique) and the like can be considered. The character parameter changing means may change, for example, the experience value, offensive power, and defensive power among these parameters, and may change the change rate of HP and SP.

In the above game apparatus, the character parameter changing means measures an elapsed time after changing a parameter associated with the character or a change rate of the parameter, and the elapsed time measuring means comprises: Elapsed time determining means for determining whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached a predetermined time may be further provided. In this case, the character parameter changing means changes, for example, a parameter value or a parameter change rate associated with the character until the elapsed time determining means determines that the predetermined time has been reached. It can be.

[0009] Thus, once a character is moved so as to have a predetermined positional relationship with another character, the character is associated with the character until a predetermined time elapses even if the positional relationship is broken. Parameter or the rate of change of the parameter can be changed. That is, even if the character is not moved by the character moving means so as to always have a predetermined positional relationship with another character, it is possible to change the movement of the character. For this reason, for example, how long the character follows the movement of another character is extended, and the range of choices regarding the movement of the character is widened, and the game strategy is further enhanced.

In the above game apparatus, the character parameter changing means is associated with the character when a character moved by the character moving means is executed in a predetermined place to fight an enemy character. The value of the parameter or the rate of change of the parameter may be changed.

In this case, in particular, it is preferable that the game apparatus further includes character operation means for moving at least one of the character and another character within a predetermined area in accordance with an external input.

Thus, for example, when a character is fighting with an enemy character, a process of moving another character by input to the character operating means to support the fighting of the character can be performed. Therefore, the strategy in the case where the character battles with the enemy character is further improved.

In the above game apparatus, the character parameter changing means may determine a value of a parameter or a parameter associated with the character in accordance with another character determined by the positional relation determining means to have a predetermined positional relationship with the character. The value of the parameter associated with the character or the rate of change of the parameter can be changed according to the amount of change for changing the rate of change.

Thus, the movement of the character changes depending on which character has a predetermined positional relationship with another character. For this reason, for example, the range of choices regarding the movement of the character, such as the character following the movement of another character, is widened, and the strategy of the game is further enhanced.

In this case, the game apparatus may be provided with a character operating means, and further provided with means for selecting what kind of other character is to be moved by the character moving operation. As a result, a change in the movement of the character also occurs depending on the selection of the character moved by the character operating means, and the strategy of the game is further enhanced.

[0016] The game apparatus may further include a vector registering means for registering a vector in advance.
In this case, the positional relationship determination means includes means for calculating a vector connecting the character and another character, and means for determining whether the calculated vector is registered in the vector registration means. The character parameter changing means changes the value of the parameter associated with the character or the change rate of the parameter when it is determined that the calculated vector is registered in the vector registration means. can do.

In this case, in order to determine the positional relationship between the character and another character, calculation of a vector connecting the character and the other character (subtraction of the coordinates of the other character from the coordinates of the character (or vice versa)) To x,
It is sufficient to perform only three times for each of y and z (in the case of three-dimensional)) and to refer to the vector registration means in order to check whether the calculated vector is registered. Since such a complicated calculation is not required, the positional relationship between the character and another character can be determined at high speed.

In the vector registering means, for example, all vectors within a predetermined length can be registered. Further, the vector registering means may register a plurality of specific vectors (for example, a vector in which another character is located in a region extending in a trumpet shape from the character). Further, the vector registration means has a two-stage configuration of first and second tables (more than two levels are possible), and the positional relationship determination means determines whether the character and the enemy character are present when the calculated vector is registered in the first table. Are in a first positional relationship, and when registered in the second table, it may be determined that they are in a second positional relationship.

The game device includes a field data storage unit for storing graphic data of a field existing in a predetermined area which is a moving space of the character; a character moved by the character moving unit;
And graphic data storage means for storing respective graphic data with other characters, graphic data of a field included in a predetermined area, and graphic data of a character and other characters projected on a two-dimensional plane. Image display means for displaying a two-dimensional image, and image effect addition for adding a predetermined effect to the two-dimensional image displayed on the image display means when the positional relationship determining means determines that the two-dimensional image has a predetermined positional relationship. And means.

In this case, when the character has a predetermined positional relationship with another character and the parameter associated with the character or the change rate of the parameter is changing, the character is displayed on the image display means as a game image. A predetermined effect is added to the existing image. Therefore, the player can easily know that the parameter associated with the character or the change rate of the parameter has changed.

The image effect adding means may be, for example,
A predetermined effect can be applied to all or a part of the graphic data of the character projected on the two-dimensional plane.

The image effect adding means may apply a predetermined effect while the value of the parameter associated with the character or the rate of change of the parameter is changed by the character parameter changing means. it can.

In the above game device, the parameter associated with the character may be a remaining value of a durability value set for the character, a subtraction value for subtracting the durability value set for the character, or a parameter corresponding to an enemy character. It can be used as a subtraction value for subtracting the set durability value.

In order to achieve the above object, a character parameter changing method according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a first step of moving a character within a predetermined area in accordance with an external input; Second to determine the positional relationship between the character moved in and the other character
And a third step of changing a parameter value or a parameter change rate associated with the character when it is determined in the step and the second step that the predetermined positional relationship exists.
And a step.

The character parameter changing method is as follows.
A fourth step of projecting graphic data of a field included in a predetermined area, and graphic data of a character and other characters onto a two-dimensional plane to display a two-dimensional image, and establishing a predetermined positional relationship in the second step. When it is determined that there is, a fifth step of adding a predetermined effect to the two-dimensional image displayed in the image display step may be further included.

In order to further achieve the above object, there is provided a machine-readable recording medium on which a program for executing the character parameter changing method is recorded.
4 and 15. The program recorded on the information recording medium can be executed by a general-purpose computer or a general-purpose game device including a display device, an input device, a storage device, and the like.
As a result, software products can be easily distributed and sold independently of the device. Also,
By using this software using existing hardware resources, the game of the present invention as a new application can be easily executed on existing hardware. If the program recorded on the information recording medium of the present invention is executed by a general-purpose computer or a general-purpose game device, the game device according to claims 1 and 7 can be realized.

The attack power is a numerical value indicating the degree of damage that can be given to the enemy character when each of the characters A to G attacks the enemy character. On the other hand, the defense power is a numerical value indicating the degree to which the damage caused by the attack can be reduced when each of the characters A to G is attacked by the enemy character.

The experience value is a numerical value indicating how much each of the characters A to G has moved in accordance with the progress of the game. For example, it is possible to increase the type of attack on the enemy character by increasing the experience value. it can. The HP indicates the physical strength of each of the characters A to G, that is, a durability value indicating how far the character can withstand the damage received from the enemy character. In addition, HP
When the character becomes "0", the character cannot be used in the game, and when all the HPs of the characters A to G become "0", the game is over. The SP is a numerical value that is stored so that the character can make a special move, and when the SP becomes equal to or more than a predetermined value, the character can make a special move, and when the special move is made, the character can perform the special move. SP becomes “0”.

When the character selected by the first or second player among the characters A to G is engaged in a battle with the enemy character, the interference state flag indicates that the character is within a predetermined distance from the other characters. Then, the character of the character performing the battle and another character within a predetermined distance are set to “1”. The interference state flag is reset to “0” after a predetermined time has elapsed. When the interference state flag is set to “1”, as described later, the damage given to the enemy character by the fighting character, the damage received from the enemy character, or the degree of recovery of the HP or SP,
It changes compared to when it is reset to “0”.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of the entire game in this embodiment. When the game starts, first, the CPU 101 executes a program for an introduction event (step S101). Examples of the introduction event include display of a movie that introduces a game story, execution of a simple game that introduces a game story, and the like.

Next, the CPU 101
A world map is read from the world map area 104b of No. 4 and displayed on the television receiver 2 (step S102). In the state where the world map is displayed on the television receiver 2 in this manner, the player operates the direction keys of the controllers 116-1 and 116-2,
The land name of the land indicated by a circle is displayed on the world map to proceed to next. At this time, the player operates predetermined buttons of the controllers 116-1 and 116-2 to select the land indicated by the circle and move to the destination (step S103).

When the world map is displayed on the television receiver 2, the first player or the second player
When a player (hereinafter, simply referred to as a player) operates a predetermined button of the controllers 116-1 and 116-2, a window for selecting a character is displayed on the television receiver 2. Then, according to this window, the first and second players and the character of the CPU 101 can be selected from the characters A to G, respectively.

When the movement to the destination is selected, the CPU 1
01 is the field data of the land on CD-ROM3

c. Then, the CPU 101 executes a predetermined program, and the controller 116-
The game proceeds according to the operations of 1, 116-2 (step S104). The processing of the game in the field map will be described later in detail.

The processing of the game on the field map in step S104 is performed until the event on the field map is cleared (step S105; N).
o), when the event is cleared (step S105; Y)
es), the CPU 101 determines whether the cleared event is the last event (step S1).
06).

If it is determined that the event is not the final event (step S106; No), the CPU 101 adds a new event, specifically, a land that can be selected on the world map (step S10).
7), the process returns to step S102. On the other hand, if it is determined that the event is the last event (step S10
6; Yes), the CPU 101 performs a predetermined ending event (for example, display of a movie for completing a game story) (step S108), and ends the processing of all games.

Hereinafter, the processing when proceeding to any of the field maps in step S104 will be described in detail. Here, it is assumed that the field map of the land moved by the selection on the world map is as shown in FIG. The event clear condition is that items are acquired from all treasure chests existing in the field map.

First, the CPU 101 performs a process for displaying on the television receiver 2 an image obtained by projecting the field map stored in the field map area 104c onto a two-dimensional plane from a predetermined viewpoint. Specifically, C
The PU 101 registers the data of the field map in the Z buffer (Step S201). Actually, the GPU 109 expands an image to be displayed on the television receiver 2 on the frame buffer 110 based on data registered in the Z buffer, and outputs a video signal generated from the expanded image to the TV. The image is output to the John receiver 2 (the same applies hereinafter).

Next, the CPU 101
In accordance with the inputs from 6-1 and 116-2, the positions of the characters respectively selected by the first and second players (hereinafter, referred to as first and second characters, respectively) are moved. Further, the position of a character (hereinafter, referred to as a third character) registered in the character data table for processing by the CPU 101 is moved by executing a predetermined program (step S202).

Next, the CPU 101 proceeds to step S202
It is determined whether or not there is an appearance point of the enemy character at the position of the first or second character whose position has been moved in step, or whether or not an enemy character has already appeared (step S203). If there is an appearance point of the enemy character or it is determined that the enemy character has already appeared (step S203; Yes), the CPU
101 performs processing for displaying the graphic data of the first to third characters and the enemy character on the television receiver 2 (step S204). FIG. 10 shows an example of an image displayed on the television receiver 2 at this time.

Next, the CPU 101 executes a battle process in which a character in which an enemy character has appeared among the first and second characters (hereinafter, a battle character) battles the enemy character (step S205). . When the battle process is performed, the CPU 101 prevents the enemy character from appearing even if the character that has not made the enemy character appear reaches the appearance point of another enemy character. Have one or the other fight. The details of the battle process will be described later.

When one battle process is completed, the CPU 10
1 determines the win or loss between the battle character and the enemy character based on the result of the battle process. Specifically, it is determined whether the HP (physical strength) of the battle character and the enemy character has become 0 or less, thereby determining the win or loss (step S206).

If it is determined that the winning or losing has not yet occurred, that is, if the HP of both the battle character and the enemy character is larger than 0 (step S206; not yet), the process returns to step S202. When it is determined that the battle character has lost to the enemy character, that is, the HP of the battle character has become 0 or less (step S206; negative),
Jump to a predetermined defeat process. The details of the defeat processing are omitted.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the battle character has won the enemy character, that is, the enemy character's HP has become 0 or less (step S206; win), the CPU 1
01 performs predetermined battle victory processing (for example, increases the attack power, defense power, and experience value of the battle character), and proceeds to step S
Proceed to step 209.

On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no enemy character appearance point at the positions of the first and second characters moved in step S202 and that the enemy character has not yet appeared (step S203; No). , CP
U101 performs a process for displaying the graphic data of the first to third characters on the television receiver 2 (step S208). Then, the process proceeds to step S209.

In step S209, the CPU 101
At the position of the first or second character moved in step S202, it is determined whether or not there are treasure chests scattered in the field map for which no item is acquired. When it is determined that there is no treasure box from which the item in the middle has not been acquired (Step S209; No), the process returns to Step S202.

On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a treasure chest for which the item in the middle has not been acquired (step S209;
Yes), the CPU 101 performs a process of adding the item as an item obtained by the first or second character (step S211), and furthermore, the number of the added items becomes equal to the number of treasure boxes scattered in the field map. It is determined whether or not all items have been acquired (step S211).

If it is determined that there is an item that has not been acquired (step S211; No), the process proceeds to step S21.
It returns to the process of 202. On the other hand, when it is determined that all items have been acquired (step S211; Yes),
The CPU 101 performs a setting for clearing the event in the field map, for example, sets a predetermined flag (step S212), and ends the processing of this flowchart.

Hereinafter, the battle process in step S205 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. Upon shifting to the battle process, the CPU 101 performs a synchro determination process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12 (step S30).
1).

In the synchro judgment process, the CPU 101
First, it is determined whether a parameter interference state is set, that is, whether a parameter interference flag of the battle character is set to “1” (step S401).
If it is determined that the parameter is not in the parameter interference state (Step S401; No), the CPU 101 determines that the position of the battle character is not the other character (the one of the first and second characters that is not the battle character or the third character). ) Is determined to be within a predetermined distance (step S402).

When making this determination, the CPU 101 first subtracts the x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate of the positions of the battle character and the other characters, and calculates a vector connecting the battle character and the other character. I do. Then, the CPU 101 sets the vector table area 1
By referring to the vector table stored in the vector table 04e and determining whether the calculated vector is registered in this vector table, it is determined whether the battle character and another character are within a predetermined distance.

If it is determined that the battle character and the other character are not within the predetermined distance (step S402; No), the process returns to the battle process of FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the battle character and another character are within a predetermined distance (step S402; Yes)
s), the CPU 101 sets the parameter interference flag of the battle character and the parameter interference flags of other characters within a predetermined distance of the battle character to “1” (step S403), and returns to the battle process of FIG. I do.

If it is determined that a parameter interference state has occurred (step S401; Yes), C
For example, the PU 101 sets the parameter interference flag to “1”.
A process is performed to apply an effect to the image displayed on the television receiver 2 such that the graphic data of the character set in the image is shined (step S404). At this time, the television receiver 2
FIG. 13 shows an example of an image displayed on the screen 200 of FIG.

Next, the CPU 101 sets the counter set in the other data area 104h to a predetermined value (here,
It is determined whether or not it has become larger than 100) (step S405). If it is determined that the value of the counter has become larger than the predetermined value (step S405; Ye)
s), the CPU 101 resets the parameter interference flags of all the characters to “0” and cancels the parameter interference state (step S406). Then, the process returns to the battle process of FIG.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the value of the counter is equal to or less than the predetermined value (step S405; No), the CP
U101 increments the value of the counter by 1 (step S407), and returns to the battle process of FIG.

When returning to the battle process from the synchro determination process in FIG. 12, the CPU 101 performs the HP gauge display process shown in the flowchart in FIG. 14 (step S30).
2). In the HP gauge display processing, first, the CPU 101 refers to the parameter interference flag corresponding to the battle character and determines whether or not the state is the parameter interference state (step S501).

If it is determined that the state is not the parameter interference state (step S501; No), the CPU 1
01 reads “2” into the variable Recov as the HP recovery width (step S502), and when it is determined that the parameter is in the parameter interference state (step S501; Y).
es), "3" is read into the variable Recov (step S503).

Next, the CPU 101 obtains a new HP value of the battle character by adding the value of the variable Recov whose value has been read in step S502 or S503 to the current HP value of the battle character (step S50).
4). Then, the CPU 101 determines that the new HP value obtained in step S504 is the predetermined HP maximum value (HP_Ma
x) is determined (step S50)
5).

If it is determined that the new HP value is equal to or smaller than the HP maximum value (step S505; No), the process proceeds to step S507, and if it is determined that the new HP value is larger than the HP maximum value (step S505). Step S505; Ye
s), the value of the predetermined HP maximum value is set as a new HP value of the battle character (Step S506), and Step S50 is performed.
Proceed to step 7.

Next, in step S507, the CPU
101 calculates the following formula 1 to calculate the width L of the HP gauge to be displayed (step S507).

L = L_Max * HP / HP_Max where L_Max is the maximum width of the HP gauge.

Then, the CPU 101 proceeds to step S50.
A process for displaying the HP gauge whose gauge width has been calculated in step 7 on the television receiver 2 is performed (step S50).
8) Return to the battle process of FIG.

When returning from the HP gauge display processing of FIG. 14 to the battle processing, the CPU 101 performs the special technique gauge display processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 15 (step S30).
3). Step S6 in this special technique gauge display processing
01 to S608 correspond to steps S501 to S50 in FIG.
If the HP is replaced with the SP corresponding to No. 8, the processing is the same as the processing in FIG. At the end of the series of processes, when the process for displaying the special technique gauge on the television receiver 2 is performed (step S608), the process returns to the battle process of FIG.

When returning from the special technique gauge display processing of FIG. 15 to the battle processing, the CPU 101 receives an input for instructing an attack on the enemy character from the buttons of the controllers 116-1 and 116-2 corresponding to the battle character. It is determined whether or not it has been performed (step S304).

If it is determined that an input for instructing an attack has been made (step S304; Yes), C
The PU 101 performs the attack process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 16 (Step S305).

In the attack process, the CPU 101 first performs a process for displaying an animation in which the battle character performs an attack operation on the enemy character (step S).
701). Then, the CPU 101 determines whether the attack of the battle character hits the enemy character by the operation based on the animation display. For example, the CPU 101 determines the area occupied by the graphic data of the enemy character by the weapon of the battle character moving by the animation display. A process for determining whether or not the vehicle passes is performed (steps S702 and S702
03).

If it is determined that the attack of the battle character has not hit the enemy character (step S70)
3; No), this attack process ends, and the process returns to the battle process of FIG.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the attack of the battle character hits the enemy character (step S70)
3; Yes), the CPU 101 performs a process for displaying an animation in which the enemy character takes an action of being attacked by the battle character (step S704).
Then, the CPU 101 calculates the damage given to the enemy character by this attack according to information such as the attacking power of the battle character, the defense strength of the enemy character, and the position where the attack hits, and substitutes it into a variable Dmg (step S705) ).

Next, the CPU 101 refers to the parameter interference flag of the battle character to determine whether or not a parameter interference state has occurred (step S70).
6). If it is determined that the parameter is in the parameter interference state (Step S706; Yes), the value obtained by multiplying the value of the variable Dmg by 1.5 is corrected as damage given to the enemy character, and is substituted into the variable Dmg (Step S706). S70
7). Then, the process proceeds to step S708. on the other hand,
If it is determined that the state is not the parameter interference state (step S706; No), step S7 is performed as it is.
It proceeds to the process of 08.

In step S708, the CPU 101
The value of the damage given, that is, the value of the variable Dmg is subtracted from the current value of the HP of the enemy character, and the result is set as a new HP value of the enemy character (step S708). And
This attack processing ends, and the process returns to the battle processing of FIG.

When returning to the battle process from the attack process of FIG. 16 or when it is determined that no input for instructing an attack has been made (step S304; No),
The CPU 101 determines whether or not the enemy character has been operated by the program to attack the battle character (step S306).

If it is determined that the enemy character is attacking the battle character (step S306;
Yes), the CPU 101 performs the attacked process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 17 (step S307).

In the attacked process, the CPU 101 first
A process for displaying an animation in which the enemy character performs an attack operation on the battle character is performed (step S801). Then, the CPU 101 determines whether the attack of the enemy character hits the battle character by the operation based on the animation display. A process of determining whether or not the vehicle passes is performed (step S802,
803).

If it is determined that the attack of the enemy character has not hit the battle character (step S80)
3; No), the attacked process ends, and the process returns to the battle process of FIG.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the attack of the enemy character has hit the battle character (step S80).
3; Yes), the CPU 101 performs a process for displaying an animation in which the battle character takes an action of being attacked by the enemy character (step S804).
Then, the CPU 101 calculates the damage given to the fighting character by this attack according to information such as the attack power of the enemy character, the defense strength of the fighting character, and the position where the attack hits, and substitutes it into a variable Dmg (step). S805).

Next, the CPU 101 refers to the parameter interference flag of the battle character to determine whether or not a parameter interference state has occurred (step S80).
6). If it is determined that the parameter is in the parameter interference state (step S806; Yes), the value obtained by multiplying the value of the variable Dmg by 0.5 is corrected as the damage given to the battle character, and is substituted into the variable Dmg ( Step S8
07). Then, the process proceeds to step S808. On the other hand, when it is determined that the state is not the parameter interference state (Step S806; No), the process directly proceeds to Step S808.

In step S808, the CPU 101
The value of the given damage, that is, the value of the temporary variable Dmg, is subtracted from the current HP value of the battle character to obtain a new HP value for the battle character (step S80).
8). Then, the attacked process ends, and the process returns to the battle process of FIG.

If the process returns from the attacked process to the battle process in FIG. 17, or if it is determined that the enemy character has not attacked the battle character (step S3).
06; No), the battle process ends, and the process returns to the process in the field map of FIG.

Hereinafter, the progress of the game executed by the above processing is determined by the controller 1 by the first and second players.
How it changes according to the operations of 16-1 and 116-2 will be specifically described with reference to the following three examples. Here, it is assumed that the first player has selected the character A and the second player has selected the character B. It is also assumed that character C is selected as the character to be moved by the CPU.

(1) When character A encounters an enemy character and none of characters B and C are within a predetermined distance (the maximum length of a vector registered in an inter-character vector table; the same applies hereinafter).

In this case, the value of the damage that the character A selected by the first player attacks the enemy character and the value of the damage to the attack received from the enemy character do not change as usual. In addition, the degree of recovery of HP and SP among the parameters of the character A is also normal ("2" for each processing), and no change appears.

(2) When character A encounters an enemy character and character B or C is within a predetermined distance.

In this case, the value of the damage that the character A selected by the first player causes by attacking the enemy character is 1.5 times that in the case of (1). In addition, the value of the damage of the character A to the attack received from the enemy character is 0.5 times that in the case of (1). Further, the degree of recovery of the character A's HP and SP is "3" for each process, and the first player can proceed with the battle of the character A against the enemy character more advantageously than usual. .

(3) When character A encounters an enemy character and character B is within a distance slightly longer than a predetermined distance.

In this case, the value of the damage given to the enemy character by the character A selected by the first player and the value of the damage to the attack received from the enemy character are initially normal and do not change. In addition, the degree of recovery of HP and SP among the parameters of the character A is also normal at the beginning ("2" for each processing) and does not change.

Here, the second player plays the controller 11
It is assumed that the position of the character B is moved to a position at a predetermined distance from the character A by operating the direction key 6-2.
After the movement of the character B, the value of the damage that the character A attacks and attacks the enemy character is (1)
1.5 times of the case of Further, the value of the damage of character A against the attack received from the enemy character is (1)
0.5 times of the case of Further, the character A's H
The degree of recovery of P and SP is also "3" for each process. Thus, the second player can advantageously advance the battle of the character A selected by the first player against the enemy character by moving the position of the character B.

As described above, in the game according to this embodiment, when a character operated by a player battles with an enemy character, if another character included in the party exists within a predetermined distance. It is possible to increase the damage given to the enemy character by the attack, reduce the damage caused by the attack of the enemy character, or increase the HP and SP increments.

As described above, according to the positional relationship with other characters included in the party, the parameters (here, H
(P, SP) changes, so that the player moves the selected character closer to other characters included in the party to strengthen the attack and defense against the enemy character. Can be. For this reason, the moving position of the character affects the battle with the enemy character, and the strategy of the game including the determination of the moving position of the character can be enhanced.

Even when the character selected by the player himself is not fighting with the enemy character, the character can be moved when another character included in the party is fighting with the enemy character. It is possible to enhance the attack power and defense power of the other character and support the movement of the other character. By supporting the battle of the ally character in this way, the strategic nature of the game is further enhanced.

Also, once the characters have approached each other within a predetermined distance, a parameter interference state is maintained for a certain period of time even if the distances thereafter become longer. For this reason, after moving a character that is fighting with an enemy character to a position near other characters included in the party, the character is returned to a position where it is easy to attack the enemy character. The breadth is expanded, and the strategic nature of the game is further enhanced.

Further, to determine whether or not the characters are within a predetermined distance, calculation of a vector connecting the positions of the two characters (subtraction of the coordinates of one character from the coordinates of one character (or vice versa). , X, y, z
(Only three times for each of the three-dimensional cases)
It is only necessary to determine whether the calculated vector is registered in the vector table. For this reason, a complicated calculation is not required to determine the positional relationship between the characters, and such a positional relationship determination can be performed at high speed.

Further, in the case of the parameter interference state, the effect is displayed on the television receiver 2, so that the player can perform the battle of the selected character with the enemy character in an advantageous state. Can be easily determined.

[Second Embodiment] In this embodiment, the HP of the battle character or the SP or the HP of the battle character or the enemy character is reduced in accordance with the type of another character within a predetermined distance from the above-mentioned battle character. A case in which the present invention is applied to an RPG in which the amount of damage to be performed is different will be described.

The configuration of the system according to this embodiment is almost the same as that of the first embodiment. However,
In this embodiment, a parameter change reference table as shown in FIG. 18 is further stored in the character data area 104d of the main memory 104.

The parameter change reference table shows that for each of the characters A to G, the player, the HP / SP recovery width (Recover), and the damage amount correction coefficient (Data)
ck, Ddefense). Here, the item data of the player is the same as that described in the character data table.

The HP / SP recovery width (Recov) indicates a width of recovering the HP or SP of the fighting character when the characters A to G are in a parameter interference state with another character (the above-mentioned fighting character). I have. The damage correction coefficient is the amount of damage that the fighting character gives to the enemy character in the attack process when the characters A to G are in a parameter interference state with the battle character, or the amount of damage that the fighter character receives from the enemy character in the attack process. The figure shows a coefficient for correcting the amount.

Hereinafter, the progress of the game in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 19, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. The processing in this embodiment is similar to the processing in steps S1503 and S16 in FIG.
03, S1707, and S1807 are steps S503, S603, and S shown in FIGS. 14 to 17 of the first embodiment.
707 and S807.

First, in the HP gauge display processing, when it is determined that the parameter interference state is set (step S501; Yes), the CPU 101 sets the HP recovery width to the parameter change reference table from the parameter change reference table. The HP / SP recovery width of another character (which can be seen from the fact that the parameter interference flag is “1”) is read, and this is substituted for Recov (step S1503). Then, step S50
Go to step 4.

In the SP gauge display process, if it is determined that the parameter interference state is set (step S601; Yes), the CPU 101 sets the battle character as the SP recovery width from the parameter change reference table to the parameter interference state. HP of other characters
The SP recovery width is read and assigned to Recov (step S1603). Then, the process proceeds to step S604.

In the attack processing, when it is determined that the state is the parameter interference state (step S
706; Yes), the CPU 101 determines, from the parameter change reference table, the damage correction coefficient Data of the other character having the battle character in the parameter interference state.
ck is read out and corrected by multiplying it by a variable Dmg (step S1707). Then, the process proceeds to step S708.

In the attacked process, when it is determined that the battle character is in the parameter interference state (step S806; Yes), the CPU 101 determines from the parameter change reference table that the battle character is in the parameter interference state. Character damage correction coefficient Ddef
ence is read out and corrected by multiplying it by a variable Dmg (step S1807). Then, step S808
Proceed to processing.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the character operated by the player is within a predetermined distance from another character in the battle process, the action of the character changes according to the type of the other character. Appears. For this reason, the range of choices regarding the movement of the character, such as what kind of character the player follows to move the character selected by the player, is expanded.
The strategy of the game is higher than that of the embodiment.

[Modifications of Embodiment] The present invention is not limited to the above-described first and second embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

In the first and second embodiments, the distance between the characters included in the party formed by the player's selection affects the parameters of the characters. On the other hand, when two enemies can appear at the same time in the field map, the parameters of the character can be affected by the positional relationship with the enemy character.

In the first and second embodiments described above, the number of players is two, and the characters on the player side are the controller 116-1 and the controller 116-1, respectively.
It consisted of two characters that move in the field map by operating 116-2 and one character that moves in the field map by processing by the CPU. However, in the present invention, the number of players and the number of characters are arbitrary. The number of characters that can be operated by one player is also arbitrary.

In the first and second embodiments, for characters whose parameter interference flag is “1”, the recovery range of the HP and SP is increased in the battle process and is given to the attacking enemy character. The ratio of damage has increased, and the ratio of damage received by an attack from an enemy character (the amount of decrease in HP) has decreased. That is, the change rate of the HP and SP of the character is affected. On the other hand, for a character for which the parameter interference flag is “1”, the value of the attack power, the defense power, and / or the experience value is increased during that time, that is, the value of the parameter is influenced. Is also good. By increasing the value of the parameter, for example, the value of the experience value in this manner, a more advanced technique that cannot be used with the original experience value is performed when the character operated by the player attacks the enemy character. Will be able to

In the first and second embodiments, all vectors having a predetermined length are registered in the vector table. That is, when the characters are located within a predetermined distance, the parameter interference flag is set to “1”. However, in the vector table, for example, a vector or the like representing an area extending in a predetermined direction from a certain point in a trumpet shape may be registered.
Further, the vector table has, for example, a two-stage configuration including a first vector table for registering a vector having a length of 100 or less and a second vector table for registering a vector having a distance greater than 100 and 120 or less. Is also good. Further, the degree of change rate of various parameters of the character may be changed depending on whether the vector obtained by calculating the coordinates of the two characters is in the first table or the second table.

In the above-described first and second embodiments, the effect on the rate of change of various parameters of the character when the characters are within a predetermined distance has a positive effect on the character. Although it was only a thing, it may be a thing that acts negatively. In this case, the player does not have a negative effect on the change rate of the parameter of the character operated by the player,
Since it becomes necessary to be aware of the movements of other characters, this also makes it possible to enhance the strategic nature of the game.

In the first and second embodiments, when the parameter interference flag of the character selected by the player is set to “1”, the counter starts counting up from there, and the value of the counter is increased. When the value reaches a predetermined value, the parameter interference flag is reset. That is, once the characters selected by the player are within a predetermined distance, the change rate of the parameter of the character is affected until a predetermined time elapses. However, whether or not the change rate of each parameter is affected may be simply determined according to the positional relationship between the characters.

In the first and second embodiments, the genre of the game is RPG (role playing game).
The case where the present invention is applied has been described. However, the present invention moves a character having some parameter affecting the progress of the game within a predetermined area,
Further, if the game includes another character (including an enemy character) in the predetermined area, the present invention can be applied to a game of another genre such as an ATG (action game).

In the first and second embodiments, the case where the present invention is realized by using the home game machine 1 as a platform has been described. However, the present invention is realized by a personal computer or an arcade game machine. Is also good.

Further, according to the present invention, it is also possible to realize, as a platform, a communication battle type game system constituted by two or more game machines. FIG. 20 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of a communication battle game system. As shown in the figure, this communication battle type game system includes two game machines 21 and 22 connected via a synchronous control device 23. The game machines 21 and 22 include communication devices 211 and 221 and processing devices 212 and 22 respectively.
2. Storage devices 213 and 223 and monitors 214 and 22
4.

In this communication battle type game system, one player handles each of the game machines 21 and 22, and the processing devices 212 and 222 execute the above-mentioned program. Each player operates an input device (not shown) to move a character selected by himself / herself in the field map. 221 is transmitted to the other game machine via the synchronization control device 23. Here, the synchronization control device 23 determines that the game machine 2
By controlling the processing timings 1 and 22, the game progresses similarly on the game machines 21 and 22.

Note that the communication battle type game system can employ an arbitrary number of game machines constituting the system. In addition, a system in which a synchronization control device is not provided in addition to the game machines constituting the system and a synchronization control is performed in each game machine is also possible.

In the first and second embodiments, the program for realizing the present invention is distributed using the CD-ROM 3 as a medium. However, a program for realizing the present invention includes a magnetic disk and an R disk.
It may be stored in another computer-readable information recording medium such as an OM card and distributed. Further, it may be preinstalled and distributed to the magnetic disk device of the system to which the present invention is applied. Alternatively, a program for implementing the present invention may be stored on a magnetic disk provided in a Web server and distributed via the Internet.

[0143]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the value of the parameter associated with the character or the rate of change of the parameter can be changed in accordance with the positional relationship with another character, the strategy of the game can be enhanced.

When the value of the parameter associated with the character or the rate of change of the parameter is changed, a predetermined effect is applied to the displayed image, and such a change is applied to the player. Can be easily known.
