In addition, for example, the movement processing unit 213 of the present embodiment constitutes a position movement control means of the present invention, and the base management unit 214 constitutes a base location control means. Furthermore, for example, the game processing unit 215 constitutes a character insertion means of the present invention, and the parameter control unit 217 constitutes a parameter management means of the present invention.

  The object space setting unit 210 is an object, a movement path, a building, a tree, a pillar, a wall, various objects representing objects such as maps (terrain) (primitive surfaces such as sprites, billboards, polygons, free-form surfaces or subdivision surfaces) And the object space (ie, the game space) is placed and set.

  Specifically, the object space setting unit 210 determines the position and rotation angle (orientation, synonymous with direction) of the object (model object), and rotates the position (X, Y) or (X, Y, Z) The object is placed at an angle (rotation angle around X and Y axes) or (rotation angle around X, Y and Z axes).

  The object space includes both a so-called virtual two-dimensional space and a virtual three-dimensional space. A two-dimensional space is, for example, a space in which an object is arranged in two-dimensional coordinates (X, Y), and a three-dimensional space is, for example, a space in which an object is arranged in three-dimensional coordinates (X, Y, Z) is there.

  When the object space is a two-dimensional space, the objects are arranged based on the priorities set for each of the plurality of objects. For example, processing can be performed in which objects are arranged in order from an object (sprite) to be shown on the back side, and objects to be shown to be on the front side are overlapped and arranged.

  Also, if an object with a large drawing size is placed below the image and an object with a small drawing size is placed above the image, the object space corresponding to the upper part of the screen can be made to look like the back side. It can appear as if the corresponding object space is on the near side.

(2) After the detection of the first change, when the first change is detected (that is, when the state changes from the non-contact state to the contact state), the touch operation input is continued (that is, the contact state) When the input by slide operation (hereinafter referred to as "slide operation input") is executed, the change in the slide operation input (that is, the change in the detection position) is detected as a second change. And a second detection process for detecting a detection position at which the state change has been performed (hereinafter, also referred to as “second detection position”).
(3) A third detection process is performed to detect a state in which a touch operation on the screen is not input during the slide operation input (that is, when the slide operation input ends and the touch-free state is reached).

  When detecting a touch operation on the display 12, the operation detection processing unit 211 acquires the designated position input in each predetermined cycle. Specifically, the predetermined period can be, for example, about 1/60 seconds to 1/120 seconds for each frame.

  The display control unit 212 displays on the display 12 an image related to the game including the operation input object in which the player's instruction is visualized.

  The movement processing unit 213 performs movement operation of a character object to be operated, such as a mobile object (in particular, a character object such as a player character or an enemy character) in the object space.

  The virtual camera control unit 216 generates an image viewed from a given viewpoint and viewed as having a depth. In this case, the virtual camera control unit 216 performs control processing of a virtual camera (viewpoint) for generating an image viewed from a given (arbitrary) viewpoint in the object space. Specifically, processing for controlling the position (X, Y, Z) or rotation angle (rotation angle around X, Y, Z axes) of the virtual camera (processing for controlling the viewpoint position and the gaze direction) is performed.

  For example, when photographing an object (for example, a character, a ball, a car) from behind with a virtual camera, the position or rotation angle of the virtual camera (virtual camera so that the virtual camera follows changes in the position or rotation of the object Control the direction of

  In this case, the virtual camera can be controlled based on the information such as the position, rotation angle or speed of the object obtained by the movement processing unit 213. Alternatively, control may be performed to rotate the virtual camera at a predetermined rotation angle or to move the virtual camera along a predetermined movement path. Further, in this case, the virtual camera is controlled based on virtual camera data for specifying the position (moving path) or rotation angle of the virtual camera.

  When there are a plurality of virtual cameras (viewpoints), the above control process is performed for each virtual camera.

Also, the virtual camera control unit 216 may be executed in conjunction with the server device 10, and when linked with the server device 10, a part or all of the virtual camera control unit 216 may be formed in the server device 10.

In particular, the parameter control unit 217 of the present embodiment calls a parameter (hereinafter, “action parameter”) consumed when using the player character set in the deck for the game, that is, when the player character is inserted into the game space. Manage).

  The drawing unit 220 performs drawing processing based on the results of various processing (game processing) performed by the processing unit 200, thereby generating an image and outputting the image to the display unit (display) 290. The image generated by the drawing unit 220 may be a so-called two-dimensional image or a so-called three-dimensional image. In particular, the drawing unit 220 generates an image that can be viewed from the virtual camera in the object space and displayed on the screen.

  Here, in the case of generating a two-dimensional image, the drawing unit 220 performs drawing in order from the objects with the set low priority, and when the objects overlap, drawing is performed by overwriting the object with high priority. .

  In addition, when generating a three-dimensional image, the drawing unit 220 of the present embodiment first calculates vertex data of each vertex of the object (model) (position coordinates of the vertex, texture coordinates, color data, normal vector or α value) Object data (model data) including (e.g.) is input, and vertex processing is performed based on vertex data included in the input object data. In addition, when performing vertex processing, vertex generation processing (tessellation, curved surface division, polygon division) for redividing a polygon may be performed as necessary.

  Also, in vertex processing, geometry processing such as vertex movement processing, coordinate conversion (world coordinate conversion, camera coordinate conversion), clipping processing, or perspective conversion is performed, and an object is configured based on the processing result. Modify (update, adjust) the given vertex data for the vertex group. Then, rasterization (scan conversion) is performed based on the vertex data after the vertex processing, and the faces of the polygon (primitive) are associated with the pixels. Then, following rasterization, pixel processing (fragment processing) is performed to draw pixels that constitute an image (fragments that constitute a display screen) (including light source processing and the like).

  In pixel processing, various processing such as texture readout (texture mapping), color data setting / modification, semitransparent composition, anti-aliasing, etc. are performed to determine the final drawing color of the pixels constituting the image, and perspective conversion is performed. The drawing color of the object is output (drawn) to the image buffer 272 (frame buffer, buffer capable of storing image information in pixel units. VRAM, rendering target). That is, in the pixel processing, per-pixel processing is performed in which image information (color, normal, luminance, α value, etc.) is set or changed in pixel units.

  This generates an image viewed from a virtual camera (given viewpoint) set in the object space. In addition, when multiple virtual cameras (viewpoints) exist, an image can be generated so that an image viewed from each virtual camera can be displayed on one screen as a divided image.

  Note that the vertex processing and pixel processing performed by the drawing unit 220 are performed by hardware that enables programmatic drawing processing of polygons (primitives) by a shader program described in a shading language, that is, so-called programmable shaders (vertex shaders and pixel shaders) It may be realized. With programmable shaders, it is possible to program vertex-based processing and pixel-based processing with a high degree of freedom in the contents of drawing processing, and the expressiveness can be significantly improved compared to fixed drawing processing by hardware .

  Then, when drawing an object, the drawing unit 220 performs geometry processing, texture mapping, hidden surface removal processing, α blending, and the like.

  In geometry processing, processing such as coordinate conversion, clipping processing, perspective projection conversion, or light source calculation is performed on an object. Then, object data (position coordinates of vertex of object, texture coordinates, color data (luminance data), normal vector, α value, etc.) after geometry processing (after perspective projection conversion) is stored in the storage unit 270.

  In the texture mapping, processing is performed to map the texture (texel value) stored in the texture storage unit of the storage unit 270 to an object. Specifically, a texture (a surface property such as color (RGB) or α value) is read from the texture storage unit of the storage unit 270 using texture coordinates or the like set (assigned) to the vertex of the object, and a two-dimensional image Map the texture that is to the object. In this case, processing for associating pixels with texels, bilinear interpolation as texels interpolation, etc. are performed.

  In the present embodiment, a process of mapping a given texture may be performed when drawing an object. In this case, the color distribution (texel pattern) of the texture to be mapped can be changed dynamically.

  Also, in this case, textures with different color distributions (pixel patterns) may be generated dynamically, or textures with different color distributions may be prepared in advance to dynamically switch the textures to be used. May be Also, the color distribution of the texture may be changed on an object-by-object basis.

  In the hidden surface removal processing, hidden surface removal processing is performed by a Z buffer method (depth comparison method, Z test) using a Z buffer (depth buffer) in which the Z value (depth information) of a drawing pixel is stored. That is, when drawing a drawing pixel corresponding to a primitive of an object, the Z value stored in the Z buffer is referred to, and the Z value of the referred Z buffer and the Z value of the drawing pixel of the primitive are If the Z value at the drawing pixel is the Z value (for example, a small Z value) on the near side as viewed from the virtual camera, the drawing process of the drawing pixel is performed and the Z value of the Z buffer is newly added. Update to the correct Z value.

  In alpha blending (alpha combining), the drawing unit 220 performs semitransparent blending processing (usually alpha blending, addition alpha blending, or subtraction alpha blending, etc.) based on the alpha value (A value). The α value is information that can be stored in association with each pixel (texel, dot), and is, for example, information of plus alpha other than color information. The α value can be used as mask information, translucency (equivalent to transparency and opacity), bump information, and the like.

  In particular, the drawing unit 220 in the present embodiment may generate an image to be displayed in the display area corresponding to the touch detection area. The image displayed in the display area may be, for example, an image including an object.

  The sound processing unit 230 performs sound processing based on the results of various processes performed by the processing unit 200, generates game sound such as BGM, sound effects, or voice, and outputs the game sound to the sound output unit 292.

  The terminal device 20 according to the present embodiment may be a system dedicated to a single player mode in which only one player can play, or may be a system including a multiplayer mode in which a plurality of players can play.

  In addition, when a plurality of players play, a game image or a game sound to be provided to the plurality of players may be generated using one terminal device 20, a network (transmission line, communication line), etc. It may be generated by distributed processing using a plurality of terminal devices 20 or server devices 10 connected in

[4.3] Base Setting Process Next, a base setting process for setting a base and a base area in the present embodiment will be described using FIGS. 5 to 7. 5-7 is a figure for demonstrating the base setting process which sets the base and base area in this embodiment.

As described above, the base management unit 214 performs, prior to the start of the match game and for each player, the pre-processing of the placement processing.
(A) For example, processing of arranging a plurality of bases such as one mother ship and two cooperative ships arranged on both sides in the game space and setting each base (hereinafter, “base allocation processing”),
(B) For example, processing (hereinafter, also referred to as “dispositionable area control processing”) of setting a base area (including a distributable area and a disallowed area described later) around the base such as the periphery of a mother ship and a cooperative Execute the site setting process to be executed.

(Base placement processing)
The base management unit 214 of this embodiment is a combination of a player's instruction, base type, base, and each base belonging to the same player, such as a mother ship and a battleship, a main circle and a two circle registered by the player before the start of the battle game. , Based on the type of game stage, the player's game level, and the registered formation information (information of formation formed by a predetermined formation or a card or item acquired by the player during the game) .

  For example, in the case of setting 1 main base 50 such as a mother ship and 2 sub-bases 51 such as a warship, when the base is arranged based on the type of the base, the base management unit 214 is shown in FIG. As shown in the left view of (A) (the view to the left of the page), the main base 50 is disposed slightly behind the center of the own position of the main base 50, and the enemy base is located relative to the arrangement position of the main base 50. Arrange sub bases 51 such as two carrier ships diagonally forward to the (hereinafter, also referred to as "reference formation").

  Also, for example, similarly, in the case of setting one main base 50 such as a mother ship and two sub bases 51 such as a cooperative ship, base management is performed when arranging bases based on the game level of the player. When the player's game level is low, the section 214 is farther from the enemy base than the reference position (hereinafter also referred to as "reference position") as shown in the right diagram of FIG. 5A. The respective bases of the main base 50 and the sub base 51 are disposed at a position (hereinafter, also referred to as a “reverse position”).

  Furthermore, for example, similarly, in the case of setting one main base 50 such as a mother ship and two sub bases 51 such as a cooperative ship, in the case of arranging the bases based on predetermined formation information, As shown in FIG. 5B, the base management unit 214 arranges the main base 50 and the sub base 51 in a row in the attack direction according to the game stage (hereinafter also referred to as “horizontal formation”). (See the left figure in Fig. 5 (B)), place the main site 50 and the sub site 51 in a row vertically to the attack direction, or the main site 50 in a diagonal row to the attack direction And a sub base 51 (hereinafter, also referred to as “diagonal formation”) (see the right figure in FIG. 5B).

  FIG. 5 is a view showing an example of the game screen 70 in which the bases are arranged by a predetermined formation, and in an actual battle game, base areas are set in the bases.

(Placeable area control processing)
When the base management unit 214 sets a base, if the base moves as described later according to the attributes of each base and the designated player character for each base, the base management unit 214 responds to the movement or the corresponding player. Depending on the arrangement of the multiple bases in the game space (the arrangement based on the above formation information),
(A) Set a base area in a predetermined area centered on each base that has been arranged, or
(B) While setting the base area, set an area where the designated player character can be arranged (hereinafter referred to as “arrangeable area”) within the set base area.
Execute placeable control processing.

  In particular, the attribute of the base includes the type of the base, the attack power or defense power of the base, the characteristics or capabilities of the equipment or function, and the level set in association with the base, and the base management unit 214 The base area or the distributable area is set in accordance with the attributes of these bases.

  In addition, the attribute of the designated player character includes the type of the designated player character, the offensive power or defensive power of the character or the characteristics or abilities such as equipment (a single ability of equipment such as a weapon, the ability of the equipment and the characteristics of the designated player character Or a combination of abilities may be included), and a level set in association with the character, etc., and the base management unit 214 can be set as the base area or the position according to the attribute of these designated player characters. Set the area.

  Further, the base management unit 214 may set the base area or the allocable area according to the combination of the base attribute and the designated player character attribute.

  For example, in the case where the characteristic category of the input base is "water" and the characteristic category of the designated player character is also "water" (that is, when the characteristics match), the base management unit 214 is preset. The size of the existing base area is changed larger (eg, 1.25 times) than the reference value.

  Also, for example, in the case where the base management unit 214 sets the locatable area of the designated player character separately from the base area where the locatable player character can set, with the size and the shape of the base area maintained, If the attribute of the designated player character is "water" (that is, if the attribute is the opposite attribute), the base management unit 214 determines that the size of the base area is half the size of the base area set in advance. The area may be set as the arrangeable area, and the other area may be set as the arrangement prohibited area.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, by performing placement possible control, for example, the player's attack is controlled to be advantageous by increasing the placement possible area, or the placement possible area is set. By reducing the size, the player's attack can be controlled to be disadvantageous.

  Therefore, during the game, the game can be advanced by providing the player with a bonus element or controlling the degree of difficulty, so that the player's interest in the game can be improved. It has become.

  On the other hand, when the base moves as described later, the base managing unit 214 according to the present embodiment responds to the movement, or according to the arrangement in the game space of a plurality of bases belonging to the corresponding player. A placeable control process may be executed to set a place where the designated player character can be placed in the area or the set base area.

In particular, the site management unit 214 of this embodiment
(1) Based on the arrangement (relative positional relationship) formed on the game space, each base belonging to the same player, such as one horizontal row, one diagonal row or one vertical row, etc.
(2) According to the distance to the base belonging to another player,
(3) According to the distance on the game space with other bases belonging to the same player,
(4) Depending on the movement distance, movement speed or movement direction during movement of the base or movement of another base belonging to the same player, the arrangement enable control process may be executed.

  For example, when the designated player character can be arranged in the entire base area, the base management unit 214 sets bases having the same size and shape for each base when the bases belonging to the same player are arranged in a horizontal row. Set the area.

  Further, when the designated player character can be arranged in the entire base area, the base management unit 214 combines the base areas of the bases when the bases belonging to the same player are arranged in a single row. Set the base area of.

  Furthermore, in the case where the designated player character can be arranged in the entire base area, the base management unit 214 sets the central base far from the enemy base and the other bases are arranged at equal distances from the enemy base. Set the base area of another base whose size is larger than that of the base of.

  In particular, when the designated player character can be arranged in the whole of the base area 52, the base management unit 214 of the present embodiment performs, for example, each base 50 or 51 as the arrangeable area control processing of (A). As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, according to the attribute of the designated player character, the base area 52 in which the size (large or small), the shape (including the combination with another base) or both of them is changed Set

  Further, the base management unit 214, in the base area 52, forms an area prohibited to be placed in the base area 52 (hereinafter referred to as "placement prohibited area") 53 or an available area 54 as the process for controlling the available area (B). In the case, for example, as shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D, the layout prohibition area 53 or the layout possible area 54 is set according to the attribute of each base 50, 51 or the designated player character to be arranged.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, in the case of a formation in which each base is disposed within a certain distance, the base management unit 214 combines the base area or the distributable area of each base. You may

  7 (A) and 7 (B) show the case of the possible arrangement area control processing of (2A) described above, and FIG. 7 (A) shows the case where a base area is set for each base. 7B shows an example in the case where the base areas are merged due to the bases being disposed within a certain distance.

In addition, although each base area of the present embodiment is formed around the position of each base in the game space, it may be formed in another area of the game space if it is associated with each base. In order to display the game by two screens, it may be formed in different screens.
[4.4] Arrangement Process Next, the arrangement process for arranging in the base area of the designated player character in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that FIG. 8 is a view for explaining the arrangement processing for arranging in the base area of the designated player character in the present embodiment, and FIGS. 9 to 11 are special events (hereinafter referred to as “special events” in the present embodiment). And the special event control process based on the event determination process.

(Basic placement process)
When the battle game is started, the game processing unit 215 of the present embodiment causes the player to
(A1) a process of designating a player character which can be designated from among the designated player character candidates registered in the deck;
(A2) processing for selecting a designated player character designated as a base (hereinafter referred to as an “input base”) from among a mother ship and a cooperative ship, and
(A3) processing for specifying an arrangement position where the specified player character is arranged in the base area corresponding to the insertion base;
Run.

  For example, while interlocking with the display control unit 212, the game processing unit 215 executes a display prompting the designation of the player character, a display prompting the selection of the insertion base, and a display prompting the designation of the arrangement position.

Then, when the game processing unit 215 receives the designation of the designated player character, the selection of the base, and the designation of the arrangement position by the operation detection processing unit 211, as shown in FIG.
(A1) Move the designated player character 60 from the predetermined position of the deck (second display area 72) to the insertion base (main base 50) or in the vicinity thereof
(A2) The designated player character 60 is moved to the placement position 62 in the designated base area 52 from the insertion base (main base 50) or the vicinity thereof,
Entry of the designated player character 60 into the game space, that is, the placement process is completed.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the display control unit 212 displays an effect image for producing movement and arrangement of the designated player character as the game screen 70 on the display 12.

  When the designated player character is placed at the placement position, the movement processing unit 213 determines a route from the placement position to the enemy base in the game space based on the characteristics of the designated player character, and the determined route The movement control to move the designated player character to the enemy base is executed along.

  Then, the game processing unit 215 causes the designated player character to attack the enemy base while moving along the moving route, and, when the designated player character reaches the enemy base, execute an attack on the enemy base from that position.

(Modification 1 of arrangement processing: direct specification of arrangement position)
In the present embodiment, when the game processing unit 215 designates the arrangement position on the base area based on the player's operation without specifying the insertion base, the base area to which the arrangement position is specified belongs. The specified base may be specified and selected as the input base.

Specifically, when the competitive game is started, the game processing unit 215 causes the player to specify (B1) a player character that can be designated from among the designated player character candidates registered in the deck.
(B2) a process of designating an arrangement position in a specific base area where the designated player character designated is arranged;
Run.

Then, when the game processing unit 215 receives the designation of the designated player character and the designation of the arrangement position by the operation detection processing unit 211,
(B1) determine the base to which the base area of the specified arrangement position belongs as the input base;
(B2) Move the designated player character from the predetermined position of the deck to the insertion base or in the vicinity thereof, and
(B3) The designated player character is moved to an arrangement position in the designated base area from the insertion base or the vicinity thereof,
Entry of the designated player character into the game space, that is, the placement process is completed.

  At this time, the display control unit 212 displays an effect image for producing the movement and the arrangement of the designated player character as the game screen 70 on the display 12 as described above.

  When the designated player character is placed at the placement position, the movement processing unit 213 determines a route from the placement position to the enemy base in the game space based on the characteristics of the designated player character, and the determined route The movement control to move the designated player character to the enemy base is executed along.

  Then, the game processing unit 215 causes the designated player character to attack the enemy base while moving along the moving route, and, when the designated player character reaches the enemy base, execute an attack on the enemy base from that position.

  In addition, in the processing of (b1), the game processing unit 215 may determine a base different from the base to which the base area of the designated arrangement position belongs as the insertion base when determining the insertion base.

  For example, in the case where there are main bases in a plurality of bases such as a mother ship and a warship carrier, an aircraft carrier and an escort ship, or a main circle, a two circle and a three circle, a different base from the main locations such as a small ship When an arrangement position is designated in the base area set in, the game processing unit 215 may determine a main base such as a mother ship or an aircraft carrier as an insertion base.

That is, in the case where the arrangement position in the base area is directly specified without determining the input base according to the operation of the player, the directly specified arrangement position is a base different from the main base. The game processing unit 215
(B1x) Determine the main base as the input base,
(B2x) move the designated player character from the predetermined position of the deck to the insertion base or in the vicinity thereof, and
(B3x) move the designated player character to the placement position in the base area of the other base designated from the insertion base or the vicinity thereof,
Entry of the designated player character into the game space, that is, placement processing may be completed.

(Modification 2 of placement processing: Automatic placement based on selection of input base)
In the present embodiment, when the insertion base is designated based on the player's operation, the game processing unit 215 automatically specifies the position in the arbitrary base area of the insertion base, and sets the position to the specified position. The designated player character may be arranged.

Specifically, when the competitive game is started, the game processing unit 215 causes the player to specify a player character that can be designated from among the designated player character candidates registered in the (C1) deck. as well as,
(C2) a process of selecting a designated designated player character from among a mother ship and a cooperative ship as an insertion base to which the player character is inserted;
Run.

When the game processing unit 215 receives the designation of the designated player character, the selection of the base, and the designation of the arrangement position by the operation detection processing unit 211,
(C1) Set an arbitrary position in the base area associated with the selected base as an arrangement position,
(C2) The designated player character is moved from the predetermined position of the deck to the insertion base or in the vicinity thereof, and
(C3) The designated player character is moved to an arrangement position in the base area set from the insertion base or the vicinity thereof,
Entry of the designated player character into the game space, that is, the placement process is completed.

  At this time, the display control unit 212 displays an effect image for producing the movement and the arrangement of the designated player character as the game screen 70 on the display 12 as described above.

  When the designated player character is placed at the placement position, the movement processing unit 213 determines a route from the placement position to the enemy base in the game space based on the characteristics of the designated player character, and the determined route The movement control to move the designated player character to the enemy base is executed along.

  Then, the game processing unit 215 causes the designated player character to attack the enemy base while moving along the moving route, and, when the designated player character reaches the enemy base, execute an attack on the enemy base from that position.

  In addition, the game processing unit 215 determines, in the process (c1), as an arbitrary arrangement position in the base area set in association with the selected insertion base, the same position in the base area correlated with the insertion base. The position in the overlapping area overlapping with the other base belonging to the player, the position closest to the enemy base, the position according to the base attribute and the attribute of the designated player character (the position where the attack of the designated player character is optimum Place in).

  In particular, in the case where the formation based on the arrangement of a plurality of bases belonging to the same player described later can be set by the player and the position in the overlapping area is automatically set as the arrangement position, the player's will It is also possible to set an overlapping area, in which case various variations in the game can be provided.

  Further, when the game processing unit 215 designates a plurality of designated player characters, and executes the selection of the insertion base and the designation of the arrangement position within the base range, the designation with the plurality of designated designated player characters is specified. Designate the placement position where the player character is placed.

(Event determination processing and special event control processing)
The game processing unit 215 is in the process of arranging the designated player character, and when a plurality of designated player characters are designated and the arrangement condition of the designated player characters in the game space is satisfied, the game processing unit 215 Special attacks such as special attacks and special attacks including special attacks, special controls such as movement of bases, implementation of gacha, or various special events such as the start of a bonus stage.

  Specifically, the game processing unit 215 sets the attribute of the designated player character, the combination (including the number thereof), and the attribute of the insertion base and the insertion area within a predetermined period (hereinafter referred to as "event determination period"). Also, determination processing (hereinafter referred to as “event determination processing”) is performed to determine whether or not a predetermined arrangement condition is satisfied in arrangement processing within the game space for each designated designated player character, such as a combination thereof. To do).

In particular, as the event determination period of the present embodiment, when the attack is a turn system, it is designated within one attackable period (hereinafter, also referred to as “attack period”) such as within one turn, or designated last time. A predetermined period from a predetermined determination measurement timing such as within a predetermined period (for example, within 10 seconds) from the designated timing of the designated player character (which may be the timing when the placement processing is executed) is included.

  Then, the game processing unit 215 performs an event when the designated player character designated last time and the player character capable of executing the special event are set as the designated player character candidate in the deck (that is, the first display area 71). Execute event determination processing in the determination period.

  That is, in the game processing unit 215, each of a plurality of designated player characters is designated within an event determination period from a given timing (a start timing of an attack period or a designated timing of a designated player character designated previously). If it is determined that the arrangement condition is satisfied by the event determination processing based on the plurality of designated player characters, a given event is executed according to the arrangement condition.

  In the event determination process, the game processing unit 215 further specifies one designated player character and specifies the placement position in the insertion base or the base area, and further specifies the designated player within the event determination period. When the character is designated, it is determined whether or not the arrangement condition based on the arrangement of the designated player character is satisfied instead of the movement control or the effect control in which the designated designated player character is arranged at the arrangement position.

  Then, if the game processing unit 215 determines that the arrangement condition based on the specified player character arrangement is satisfied in the above determination processing, the continuous attack such as combo or special attack on the specified specified player character and the coordinated attack Execute special attack events including the above, execute special control to improve the attack level and ability (including movement ability) of the input base, execute a gacha to grant an item, or start a bonus stage or acquire its right Execute various special events, etc.

For example, as shown in FIG.
(1) When three designated player characters having the same type “character α” within the event determination period are placed in the same place A in the arrangement condition based on the designated player character arrangement:
(2) When the arrangement condition is satisfied, the “combo attack” is performed by activating “combo” in the designated player character as a special event, and
(3) When three designated player character candidates 61 of type “character α” are set to the deck (that is, the first display area 71),
Assume.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 9B, the game processing unit 215 determines that the type of the designated player character of 1 is the character α, and the “base A” is designated as the insertion base. During the subsequent event determination period, each time the designated player character and its arrangement position are designated, whether or not the type of the designated player character is the character α, and whether or not the insertion base is “base A”. Determine if FIG. 9B is a diagram showing that the character α of 1 is already specified as a designated player character in association with the base A, and the character α of 1 is being specified in association with the base A. is there.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10A, in the event determination period, the game processing unit 215 designates two designated player characters whose type is the character α (a total of three characters α are designated), And, when each input base is designated as the base A, as shown in FIG. 10B, the combo of three designated player characters is activated.

  In particular, with respect to various events such as an attack event, the game processing unit 215 gives a given timing after the designated player character has been inserted into the game space (that is, after the arrangement by the arrangement process is executed) and thereafter. And execute a special event triggered by the placement condition based on the designated player character placement.

  For example, when the game processing unit 215 determines to execute the special event, as shown in FIG. 10B, all the corresponding designated player characters are placed at their respective arrangement positions (in the above case, all the bases A). Execute movement control and presentation control related to the combo attack to be arranged.

  In addition, at this time, the display control unit 212 causes the effect screen for producing the arrangement of the plurality of designated player characters to the arrangement position in conjunction with the effect control to arrange each designated player character at the arrangement position. As shown in FIG.

  Then, after the display of the effect image, the game processing unit 215 executes, for example, a special event regarding a plurality of designated player characters activated by the arrangement condition as shown in FIG. 4 (B).

  On the other hand, when the designated player character is designated from among the designated player character candidates displayed in the first display area 71 in accordance with the accepted player's operation input, the display control unit 212 performs the designation. A display process (hereinafter, also referred to as “display process of designated state”) indicating a designated state (hereinafter, referred to as “designated state”) of the designated player character may be executed.

  Further, in the case where the display control unit 212 executes the designation process of the arrangement position during the process of arranging the designated player character in the designated state display, and subsequently, another designated player character is designated. A display process (hereinafter, also referred to as “display process in the designated final state”) may be executed to indicate a state in which the designated player character that has already been displayed in the designated state is designated.

  For example, in the case where a plurality of designated player character candidates 61 are displayed as a game card in the first display area 71, when one designated player character candidate 61 is designated, the display control unit 212 displays FIG. As shown in, the display process is performed such that the game card of the specified designated player character 60 is partially (specifically, half) protruding from the first display area 71 as the specified state display process.

  Further, for example, the arrangement processing is executed on the designated player character and at least one designated player character designation is decided (hereinafter, also referred to as “designated decided state”), and an event determination period such as an attack event In the case where another designated player character is subsequently designated during the display control section 212, as shown in FIG. 11B, the designated player has already been designated as the designated finalized display processing. Execute display processing to display "during designation" for the character.

  Then, by executing the display of the designated state and the designated determined state in this manner, in the present embodiment, the designated player character designated by the player can be recognized, and the event for which the player wishes to be activated can be recognized. It is possible to make the player judge the excess or deficiency of the designated player character.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, by displaying the presence or absence of designation of the designated player character, it is possible to make the player recognize whether or not to trigger an event, so it is possible to easily recognize whether or not to trigger the event. It is possible to support the player for activation.

  In the present embodiment, a special event is provided as an attack event such as a continuous attack or a cooperative attack, but in order to cause the player to acquire a designated player character or an item to be equipped with the designated player character. Various events such as the execution of a gacha, the start of a bonus stage for giving a player a privilege, or movement control for moving a base to an advantageous position in the game space may be executed as a special event.

  In addition, the game processing unit 215 is a period from the start timing of the event determination period such as the start timing of the attack period and the designation timing of the designated player character designated last time to the timing when a plurality of designated player characters are designated (hereinafter The success condition of the special event to be executed may be changed according to the “specified completion period”, including the case where a plurality of designated player characters capable of activating the special event are simultaneously designated.

  In this case, the game processing unit 215 can, for example, quickly specify a plurality of player characters (for example, within 10 seconds of the event determination period, within 2 seconds from the start timing), or the instructed rhythm. Based on the designated timing of the designated player character during the event determination period, such as when a plurality of designated player characters can be designated with good timing (for example, when the designated player character is designated by a designated constant rhythm) It is also possible to control the success or failure of the special event (such as combination of the designated player character at the time of combo attack or success of the cooperative attack).

Further, the game processing unit 215 works in conjunction with the display control unit 212,
(A) When at least one designated player character is designated, if the placement condition is satisfied, the designated designated player character candidate that may trigger a given event together with the designated player character already designated by the player In the case where specification is possible (when it is set in the deck), processing for causing the player to recognize the specification candidate player character candidate that can be specified, and
(B) A process of causing the player to recognize an event determination period (that is, a specifiable period) in which a designated player character candidate that may trigger the given event can be designated (that is, a specifiable period);
May be performed.

  In this case, for example, at the timing when the first designated player character (first designated player character) is selected, the designated player character candidate who activates the special event with the timing when the first designated player character is designated is the deck. If it exists, the game processing unit 215 works in conjunction with the display control unit 212 to highlight the designated player character candidate by marking or the like.

  Also, in such a case, the game processing unit 215 works in conjunction with the display control unit 212 to set an event determination period in which a designated player character candidate that may trigger the given event can be specified. During the period, a display that can be recognized by the player by marking the event determination period or the like is displayed, or the remaining time of the event determination period is displayed by a timer or the like.

[4.5] Movement Control Processing of Base Next, the movement control processing of the base in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13. FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining the movement control processing of the base in the present embodiment, and FIG. 13 is the movement target displayed on the screen when the movement control processing of the base in the present embodiment is executed. It is a figure for demonstrating the game space containing the base of.

  The base management unit 214 of this embodiment performs the game shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B according to the game situation such as the elapsed time or the situation of the parameters related to the win / loss judgment during the competitive game. As shown in, control the movement in the game space of each base.

  Specifically, the base management unit 214 sets the level of the player, the level set for the base, the ability set in advance (the ability or Control the moving speed, moving direction, and moving distance when moving each base according to the capability added by having an item.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9A, the base management unit 214 may control movement of one or more bases among a plurality of bases belonging to the same player, as shown in FIG. 12B. As such, the movement of all bases may be controlled simultaneously. In particular, when one base of a plurality of bases belonging to the same player is moved as a first base, the base management unit 214 at least a second base different from the first base belonging to the same player, Follow the movement of the first base to move.

  On the other hand, when the base management unit 214 moves the base, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the base area has a base area (a deployable area and a layout prohibited area associated with the base to be moved). Control movement in the game space of the base area).

  In particular, in order to make the base area follow the base, the base management unit 214 basically moves at the same speed as the base moves, the moving direction, and the same moving speed as the moving distance, the moving direction, and Control by moving distance.

  In addition, when making the base area follow the base, the base management unit 214 may move while maintaining the size and shape of the base area, and the size of the base area may be reduced during movement or may be progressed. It may be deformed into an elliptical shape having a long axis along the direction.

  On the other hand, the base management unit 214 manages, for each player and for each base, a movement capability value indicating the movement-related capability of each base.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the movement ability value may be a movement distance capable of moving in the game space during a match game, a movement speed indicating a speed at the time of movement (for example, a movement distance for each frame or a second Movement distance for each movement), the higher the level, the longer the movement distance or the higher the movement speed is at the base level (hereinafter referred to as “base level”), consumed at the time of movement; It includes the physical strength value of the base (hereinafter, also referred to as "base energy") and the like.

  Furthermore, the base management unit 214 may move the viewpoint of the virtual camera when imaging the game space as the base moves in conjunction with the virtual camera control unit 216. In particular, even if all the bases are moving targets as described above, the viewpoint movement of the virtual camera may be executed even if only one base is a moving target.

  In this case, the virtual camera control unit 216 moves the viewpoint of the virtual camera in the same direction and distance as the movement direction and the movement distance in which the base moves. Therefore, in the game space displayed on the screen of the terminal device 20, the game is scrolled in the direction opposite to the moving direction.

For example, as shown in FIG. 13A, when the bases 50 and 51 to be moved are moved to the upper side of the screen by the movement control processing of the base management unit 214, the virtual camera control unit 216 controls the game of the virtual camera. The viewpoint in the space is also moved in the same direction as the upper part of the screen. It is assumed that the designated player character 60 and the enemy character 63 in FIG. 13A have not moved.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 13B, the screen of the terminal device 20 scrolls downward, and the screen hides above the screen before the movement of the bases 50 and 51 to be moved. The area (including the enemy character 63) is displayed together with the movement of the bases 50 and 51 to be moved. Then, the display area displayed at the lower side of the screen before the movement of the movement target bases 50 and 51 is hidden.

[4.6] Consumption of Behavioral Parameters Next, consumption of behavioral parameters in the present embodiment will be described.

  The parameter control unit 217 manages a parameter for action (that is, an action parameter) which is a parameter assigned to each player and is consumed when the designated player character is inserted.

  Specifically, the parameter control unit 217 according to the present embodiment is set in advance each time the designated player character is inserted while recovering the value of the parameter for action according to the elapsed time during the execution of the battle game. The constant value or the predetermined value is consumed (subtracted) from the value of the action parameter.

In particular, the parameter control unit 217
(1) For example, in a predetermined player, it is determined whether or not the value of the parameter for action at the time of being inserted into the game space of the designated player character is equal to or more than the consumption amount of the designated player character to be inserted.
(2) If the amount of consumption of the player character to be inserted is equal to or more, the player character to be inserted is inserted,
(3) If it is smaller than the consumption amount of the player character to be inserted, the insertion of the player character to be inserted is stopped,
(4) Control the value of the action parameter according to the insertion or the cancellation of the insertion.

  The parameter control unit 217 is predetermined when designating at least one player character from among the designated player character candidates, or designating designating the designated designated player character in the base area. The constant value or the predetermined value is consumed (subtracted) from the value of the action parameter.

  Note that the parameter control unit 217 may subtract a certain amount of consumption from the value of the action parameter regardless of the type of the designated player character, or the arrangement position of the designated player character, the attribute of the designated player character, The consumption amount of the parameter for action may be changed according to at least one or more pieces of information of the base to which the base area where the designated player character is placed belongs.

  For example, the parameter control unit 217 consumes the consumption amount of the designated player character having an attribute with high attack power and defensive strength higher than that of the other designated player characters.

  Also, the parameter control unit 217 consumes from the value of the action parameter according to the arrangement in which the designated player character is arranged in the base area, such as increasing the amount of consumption as the arrangement position becomes closer to the base of the enemy player. The amount of consumption to be subtracted may be varied.

  Furthermore, the parameter control unit 217 consumes (subtracts) from the value of the action parameter from the other sub base when the designated player character is inserted from the main base belonging to the same player such as a mother ship or a main circle. The amount of consumption to be consumed (subtracted) from the value of the action parameter may be changed according to the attribute of the base, such as increasing the amount.

  In particular, the parameter control unit 217 is table data stored in the game data storage unit 274, and the consumption amount of action parameters according to the attribute of the designated player character, the distance between the arrangement position and the enemy base, or the attribute of the base The table data in which is defined is read out, and the consumption is determined according to the table data and the attribute of the designated player character, the distance between the arrangement position and the enemy base, or the attribute of the base.

  On the other hand, when the game processing unit 215 designates a plurality of designated player characters and executes the selection of the insertion base and the designation of the arrangement position within the base range, a predetermined constant is set for each designated player character. The value of or the predetermined value is consumed (subtracted) from the value of the parameter for action.

  The game processing unit 215 executes the process of arranging the plurality of designated player characters, and when the predetermined combo conditions such as the number, the type, and the arrangement position of the designated player character are satisfied, the game processor 215 arranges the designated player characters. Activate combo attack on the character.

  In addition, when the game processing unit 215 can not arrange in the allocable area in the base area of the designated player character during the execution of the arrangement processing, that is, on the area other than the base or the base area which can be designated by the player. If it is detected that the placement processing has been canceled at step S5, the placement processing is stopped.

  On the other hand, the parameter control unit 217 not only consumes the action parameter based on the designated player character, but in addition to the consumption, as described above, according to the arrangement where the designated player character is arranged in the base area. The value may be consumed (subtracted) from the value of the action parameter.
