  The user I / F 13 is various input / output devices for exchanging information with the user. The user I / F 13 is, for example, an information input device such as a keyboard, a pointing device (eg, a mouse, a touch panel, etc.), a game pad, a motion recognition system (a system that recognizes the movement of a human body or a hand), and a voice input device such as a microphone And an image input device such as a camera. The user I / F 13 includes an information output device (display device) such as a display, and an audio output device such as a speaker.

  The communication I / F 14 is implemented as hardware such as a network adapter, various types of communication software, and combinations thereof, and is configured to realize wired or wireless communication via the network 20 or the like.

  The storage 15 is configured by, for example, a magnetic disk or a flash memory. The storage 15 stores various programs including an operating system, various data, and the like. The program stored in the storage 15 can be downloaded and installed from an application market or the like. In the present embodiment, the program stored in the storage 15 includes a game program 40 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The game program 40 is a program for causing the user terminal 10 to function as a device that provides a game.

  In the present embodiment, the user terminal 10 may be configured as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a wearable device, a personal computer, a game dedicated terminal, a VR (Virtual Reality) device (head mounted display or the like), and the like.

  Similar to the user terminal 10, the game management server 30 has a configuration as a general computer. The game management server 30 stores and manages information related to the game provided by the user terminal 10. For example, the game management server 30 manages the progress of a game for each player, game data (for example, game data for each stage), and the like. The game management server 30 may be configured using a plurality of server devices each having a configuration as a general computer.

  For example, the user terminal 10 acquires the game progress status and game data of the player from the game management server 30 in response to the activation of the game program 40. Further, for example, the user terminal 10 acquires game data from the game management server 30 during execution of the game program 40 (for example, acquires game data of a subsequent stage after clearing a specific stage), and The progress status of the latest game of the player is transmitted to the game management server 30.

  Next, functions of the user terminal 10 of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically showing functions of the user terminal 10. As illustrated, the user terminal 10 includes an information storage management unit 41 that stores and manages information, and a game progress control unit 43 that controls the progress of the game. These functions are realized by the cooperation of hardware such as the CPU 11 and the main memory 12 and various programs (including the game program 40) and data stored in the storage 15 and the like. For example, it is realized by the CPU 11 executing an instruction included in a program read into the main memory 12. 2 may be realized by the cooperation of the user terminal 10 and the game management server 30, or may be realized by the game management server 30.

  The information storage management unit 41 stores and manages various information in the storage 15 and the like. The game progress control unit 43 executes various processes relating to the control of the game progress. For example, the game progress control unit 43 executes various processes related to the progress of the game and displays various screens according to the results of the processes.

  In the present embodiment, the game progress control unit 43 presents a predetermined screen for playing a game to the player, and automatically performs an action that the player character performs in an automatic mode in which the player character automatically acts. The player character is controlled to identify and execute the identified action. For example, in the manual mode, the game progress control unit 43 controls the player character based on the operation by the player, while in the automatic mode, the game character is automatically identified and executed by the player character.

  In addition, the game progress control unit 43 is configured to display, on a predetermined screen, a first object that is displayed at least based on automatically identified actions in the automatic mode. For example, the predetermined screen displays an image corresponding to the progress of the game, and typically displays an image of the game space in which the player character acts.

  As described above, the user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment displays, on a predetermined screen, the first object that is displayed based on the automatically identified action in the automatic mode in which the player character automatically acts. The player can know information based on the action performed by the player character via the first object. As a result, the player can easily grasp the purpose of the action of the player character.

  In the present embodiment, the game progress control unit 43 can be configured to specify movement to a specific destination in the game space as an action to be performed by the player character. In this case, the first object is The display based on the destination of movement may be configured to be performed at least. For example, the game progress control unit 43 specifies a specific destination from among a plurality of destinations existing in the game space as a destination to which the player character moves, and the first object has the first destination as the first destination. The first display is performed when the destination is an enemy character (for example, an enemy character), while the second display is performed when the destination is a second destination (for example, a treasure chest). Configured as follows. Such a configuration assists the player in grasping the destination of the moving player character.

  Further, the game progress control unit 43 can be configured to automatically specify an action to be executed by the player character in accordance with an action specifying rule set from a plurality of action specifying rules. The object may be configured such that at least display based on the set action specifying rule is performed. For example, for the first object, the third display is performed when the action specifying rule is the first rule, while the fourth display is performed when the action specifying rule is the second rule. Configured as follows. Such a configuration assists the player in grasping the action specifying rule.

  Furthermore, the first object may be configured to display at least based on the state of the game. For example, the first object is configured to display based on the state of the player character (including the remaining amount of HP), the state of the enemy character, the degree of progress of the game, and the like. Such a configuration assists the player in grasping the state of the game.

  In the present embodiment, the first object may include various types of objects that can display information in various ways. For example, the first object is configured as an object that displays information by animation of a predetermined character. Further, for example, the first object is configured as an object that displays information using characters, symbols, graphics, and the like.

  In addition, the game progress control unit 43 can be configured to slow down the progress of the game for a predetermined period when the display of the first object is changed. For example, the game progress control unit 43 can be configured to slow down the moving speed of the player character during the predetermined period. Such a configuration, for example, assists the player in releasing the automatic mode in a timely manner when the action of the player character changes (one action is completed and the next action is started).

  In the present embodiment, the automatic mode may be configured to start and end according to a predetermined operation by the player. For example, the game progress control unit 43 starts the automatic mode in response to an operation for maintaining the touch state with respect to the second object arranged on the predetermined screen, and cancels the touch state with respect to the second object. The automatic mode may be terminated in response to the operation, and the automatic mode may be maintained in response to the second operation that cancels the touch state on the second object. For example, the first operation is an operation that cancels the touch state without a predetermined operation (for example, a swipe operation), and the second operation is an operation that cancels the touch state through the predetermined operation. . In this case, the game progress control unit 43 places the first object at the first position on the predetermined screen according to the start of the automatic mode, and changes the position of the first object according to the maintenance of the automatic mode. It may be configured to change from the first position to the second position. Such a configuration makes it possible to place the first object at an appropriate position according to the presence or absence of a touch state on the second object.

  The game in this embodiment includes various types of games having an automatic mode in which the player character automatically acts, and includes, for example, an RPG, a card battle game, an action game, a shooting game, and the like.

  Next, operation | movement of the user terminal 10 of this embodiment which has such a function is demonstrated using the specific example according to this embodiment. In this example, the game provided by the user terminal 10 is an RPG in which a player character explores the game space, battles with enemy characters existing in the game space, and collects items that are also present in the game space. It is. The game space is configured as a dungeon composed of a plurality of floors, and defeating a boss character existing on the deepest floor is a condition for clearing the dungeon (stage).

  In addition, the game in this example is configured as a turn-based RPG in which a turn in which a player character acts and a turn in which an enemy character acts are alternately repeated. Such an RPG is sometimes called a roguelike game.

  FIG. 3 illustrates a map of a particular floor within the dungeon in this example. As shown in the figure, one floor is composed of a plurality of rooms R (six rooms R1-R6 in the example of FIG. 3) and a passage P connecting the plurality of rooms R. In the example of FIG. 3, among the six rooms R, an entrance IN (a stairway between the upper floor) of this floor is arranged in the room R1, and an exit OUT ( Stairs between the lower floors) are arranged. In at least a part of the plurality of rooms R, enemy characters and / or treasure chests are arranged.

  FIG. 4 illustrates a game screen (predetermined screen) 50 displayed on the user terminal 10. The game screen 50 is a screen for playing a game. As shown in the drawing, a game space display area 52 for displaying an image of the game space, and an automatic button having a double circle shape located at the lower right corner of the screen ( (Second object) 541, a tool button 542 located on the left side of the automatic button 541, and an HP gauge 543 located on the left side of the tool button 542 and indicating the remaining amount of HP of the player character.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the game space display area 52 displays an image of a game space in a predetermined range including the player character PC, and the displayed game space range is changed as the player character PC moves. Is done. FIG. 4 exemplifies a game screen 50 when the player character PC is located in a specific room R. In the game space display area 52, enemy characters EC and treasure chests B existing in the room R are displayed. Has been.

  In the game space display area 52, grid-like (lattice-like) cells are displayed as shown in FIG. When the player performs a tap operation on the grid, the player character PC moves to the position of the grid. As described above, the game space display area 52 is configured such that a movement command for the player character PC is input.

  Further, when the player performs a tap operation on the enemy character EC while the player character PC is adjacent to the enemy character EC, the player character PC attacks the enemy character EC. As described above, the game space display area 52 is configured to receive an attack command for the player character PC.

  In addition, damage is given to an enemy character with the attack with respect to an enemy character. The damage is calculated based on, for example, a comparison of parameter values (for example, attack power and defense power) set for each other character, and the calculated damage is subtracted from the enemy character's HP. As a result of the attack, if the enemy character is defeated (for example, the HP of the enemy character becomes 0), the enemy character disappears, and the player character acquires a reward such as an experience value.

  When the player character PC passes the position of the treasure box B, the player character PC acquires items set in the treasure box B.

  The automatic button 541 is an object for performing an operation related to the automatic mode. The operation on the automatic button 541 will be described later.

  The tool button 542 is an object for inputting an item use command for the player character. When the player performs a tap operation on the tool button 542, a screen for selecting an item to be used from items held by the player character is displayed, and the item selected via the screen is used by the player character. . With the use of the item, for example, the parameter value of the player character changes (for example, the attack power, attack power, or HP increases), or a special attack is performed on the enemy character. The special attack is, for example, an attack having a wider attackable range and / or a greater damage compared to a normal attack.

  FIG. 5 illustrates a game screen 50 when the player character PC is located in the passage P. As shown in the figure, when the player character PC is located in the passage P, the game space display area 52 is such that only the range of the eight squares around the player character PC is visible. Display an image.

  FIG. 6 illustrates a game screen 50 in a state where the player character PC moves downward from the state of FIG. 5 and enters a specific room R. As shown in the figure, when the player character PC enters the room R from the passage P, the range corresponding to the room R becomes visible in the game space display area 52, and the range corresponding to the passage P becomes invisible.

  As described above, the game in this example is configured as a turn-based RPG, and one turn of the player character is completed by one square move or one attack. Similarly, one turn of the enemy character is completed by one square move or one attack. Note that the enemy character's turn may end without doing anything. In the normal manual mode, the player character PC behaves (moves or attacks) in response to a tap operation on the game space display area 52 by the player, and the turn of the player character and the enemy character proceeds in order with the action.

  Here, an automatic mode in which the player character automatically acts will be described. In the game of this example, when the player performs a long tap operation (operation for maintaining the touch state for a predetermined period) on the automatic button 541, the automatic mode is started.

  FIG. 7 illustrates the game screen 50 when the automatic mode is started. As shown in the figure, in response to the start of the automatic mode, a circular live object (first object) 546 is arranged on the upper side of the HP gauge 543. The live state object 546 is an object for notifying the player of the game state in the automatic mode, and an animation of the live state character corresponding to the game state is displayed. Further, as shown in the figure, on the game screen 50 in the automatic mode, the display mode (for example, color) of the annular portion outside the double-circle-shaped automatic button 541 changes.

  In the automatic mode, the player character automatically behaves according to a preset action policy (behavior specifying rule). There are three action policies in this example: “normal”, “battle avoidance”, and “exit priority”, and the default action policy is “normal”. The operation for changing the action policy will be described later.

  “Normal” is an action policy of defeating all enemy characters in all rooms on the floor and acquiring all items. “Battle avoidance” is an action policy that acquires all items in all rooms but avoids battle with enemy characters. In addition, “Exit priority” is an action policy that moves so that the length of the route to the floor exit is the shortest, kills all enemy characters and acquires all items in the passing room. It is. For example, in the map illustrated in FIG. 3, when the player character is located in the room R1, the route when the action policy is “exit priority” is the order of the rooms R1, R3, R4, and R6. Rooms R2 and R5 do not pass.

  In this example, when the player character is located in the room, actions that the player character can perform are “move to the exit of the room”, “move to the enemy character (battle)”, and “move to the treasure box (item's Acquisition) ”. In accordance with the set action policy, the action to be executed by the player character is automatically specified.

  More specifically, for example, when the action policy is “normal” or “exit priority”, the player character battles with all enemy characters placed in the room, and all treasure box items. To collect. More specifically, “move to enemy character (battle)” or “move to treasure box (acquisition of item)” is repeatedly executed in the order closer to the position of the player character. For example, in the example of FIG. 4, first, the player character PC moves from the position of the player character PC to a nearby enemy character EC to perform a battle, and then moves to the treasure box B to acquire an item. When all enemy characters in the room are defeated and all treasure box items are acquired, “move to room exit” is executed. When there are a plurality of exits for a room, the moving exit is an exit in the direction of the next room to visit.

  For example, when the action policy is “battle avoidance”, the player character collects all treasure chest items arranged in the room. More specifically, “move to treasure box (acquisition of item)” is repeatedly executed in the order from the position of the player character. When all treasure chest items in the room are acquired, “move to room exit” is executed.

  Here, when the player character PC is located in the room R, the live state object 546 is displayed corresponding to the action being executed. FIG. 8 shows an example of the correspondence relationship between the action of the player character and the display content of the live state object 546. As shown in the figure, while the player character PC is executing “move to the exit of the room”, the “normal effect” is performed in the live state object 546. The normal performance is, for example, an animation in which a live character walks.

  Further, while the player character PC is executing “move to enemy character (battle)”, a “battle effect” is performed in the live state object 546. The battle effect is, for example, an animation in which a live character swings around a weapon. It should be noted that different animations may be used for the period in which the player character PC is moving to the enemy character EC and the period in which the player character PC is in battle (the period of attacking each other).

  Further, while the player character PC is executing “move to treasure box (acquisition of item)”, an “item discovery effect” is performed in the live state object 546. The item discovery effect is, for example, an animation in which a live character opens a treasure box. It should be noted that different animations may be used depending on the period of movement to the treasure box and when an item is acquired (when the item is reached).

  As described above, when the player character PC is located in the room R, the live state object 546 displays an animation of the live character corresponding to the action (the destination of movement) being executed by the player character PC. Therefore, the player can grasp the purpose of the action (the destination of movement) of the player character PC via the live state object 546.

  The player character that has entered the passage from the room moves to the next room. The next room that is the destination of the move is identified according to the action policy. For example, when the action policy is “normal”, the closest room among the rooms in which the enemy character or the treasure box (with no items acquired) remains is the room to be moved next. If there is no room where the enemy character or treasure box remains, the room where the floor exit exists becomes the next room to move.

  For example, when the action policy is “battle avoidance”, the closest room among the rooms in which the treasure chest remains is the room to be moved next. If there is no room in which the treasure box remains, the room where the floor exit is located becomes the next room to move. For example, when the action policy is “exit priority”, the room to be moved next is specified according to the route to the floor exit having the shortest length.

  Here, when the player character PC is located in the passage P, the live state object 546 is displayed corresponding to the set action policy. FIG. 9 shows an example of a correspondence relationship between the set action policy and the display contents of the live state object 546. As shown in the drawing, when the set action policy is “normal”, the “normal effect” is performed in the live state object 546. The normal performance is, for example, an animation in which a live character walks.

  Further, when the set action policy is “battle avoidance”, “item search effect” is performed in the live state object 546. The item search effect is, for example, an animation in which a live character examines the ground with a magnifying glass.

  When the set action policy is “exit priority”, “departure appearance” is performed in the live state object 546. Departure appearance is, for example, an animation in which a live character rushes.

  As described above, when the player character PC is located in the passage P, the live state object 546 displays an animation of the live character corresponding to the set action policy. Therefore, the player can grasp the action policy of the player character PC via the live state object 546.

  In this example, when the HP of the player character PC is less than the predetermined value, the HP decreases in the live object 546 regardless of whether the player character PC is located in the room R or the passage P. An HP reduction effect that informs the player that the player is present is performed. However, the HP reduction effect varies depending on the set action policy. For example, when the action policy is “normal” or “exit priority”, an animation in which the live character appeals to the player to recover the HP. When the action policy is “battle avoidance”, it is an animation that walks in a state where the live character is tired.

  As described above, when the HP of the player character PC is less than the predetermined value, the live state object 546 performs an HP reduction effect corresponding to the action policy. Therefore, the player can grasp the situation of the player character PC (including the degree of seriousness of HP reduction) via the live state object 546.

  Also in the automatic mode, as in the manual mode, the turn of the player character and the turn of the enemy character are alternately repeated. That is, one turn of the player character is ended by one square move or one attack, and one turn of the enemy character is also finished by one square move or one attack (the enemy character's turn). The turn may end without doing anything). In the automatic mode, the turn of the player character and the turn of the enemy character are alternately and repeatedly executed without any operation by the player, and the player sees the game progressing through the game space display area 52. .

  In this example, the automatic mode ends when the player releases his finger from the automatic button 541 (when the touch state is canceled). However, when the player releases his / her finger through an upward swipe operation on the automatic button 541, the automatic mode is continued without being ended (the automatic mode is fixed).

  FIG. 10 illustrates an automatic button 541 that is swiped upward from the touch state. As shown in the drawing, in accordance with the swipe operation in the upward direction, the circle inside the automatic button 541 is biased upward, and a strip-shaped display area 541A with “fixed” displayed on the upper side is displayed. When the player's finger is released in this state, the automatic mode is continued without ending.

  FIG. 11 illustrates the game screen 50 in a state where the automatic mode is fixed. In this case, as shown in the drawing, the position of the live state object 546 is changed from the upper side of the HP gauge 543 to the upper side of the automatic button 541.

  In this example, the live state object 546 in a state where the automatic mode is fixed functions as an object for the player to change the action policy. The action policy is changed according to the direction of the flick operation performed on the live object 546. Specifically, for example, “normal” is set as the action policy according to the left flick operation on the live object 546, “battle avoidance” is also set according to the flick operation in the downward direction, and the right direction is also set. "Exit priority" is set according to the flick operation. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12, a strip-shaped display area 546A (corresponding to “normal”) and 546B (corresponding to “battle avoidance”) corresponding to the direction of the flick operation in response to a touch operation on the live object 546. 546C (corresponding to “exit priority”) may be displayed, and the action policy corresponding to the direction of the flick operation may be guided to the player.

  Here, as described above, in the state in which the automatic mode is fixed, the position of the live state object 546 is changed to the upper side of the automatic button 541, and the position is a position where the player can easily operate. . Therefore, the operation for changing the action policy described above is also an easy operation for the player. Further, since the touch state with respect to the automatic button 541 is not maintained in the state where the automatic mode is fixed, it is also suppressed that the live state object 546 becomes difficult to see with the finger of the player or the like.

  In the state where the automatic mode is fixed, the automatic mode ends in response to a tap operation at an arbitrary position in the game space display area 52.

  In the example described above, when the display of the live state object 546 is changed, the game progress speed may be slowed (for example, the moving speed of the player character PC is slowed). This makes it easier for the player to cancel the automatic mode at an appropriate timing.

  In the above-described example, the live state object 546 may perform display based on various game situations other than those described above. The display is, for example, a display based on the abnormal state (poisonous state etc.) of the player character, a display based on defeating all enemy characters in the room, and acquiring all treasure items, and a boss character. Indications based on things.

  The user terminal 10 according to the present embodiment described above determines the first object (for example, the live state object 546) on which the display based on the automatically identified action is performed in the automatic mode in which the player character automatically acts. Displayed on the screen (for example, the game screen 50), the player can know information based on the action performed by the player character via the first object. As described above, the embodiment of the present invention assists the player in grasping the purpose of the action of the player character in the automatic mode in which the player character automatically moves.

  In another embodiment of the present invention, information managed in the game management server 30 can be managed in the user terminal 10, and the functions of the game management server 30 can be integrated into the user terminal 10.
