(Hardware on which the game device is realized)
The game device according to the present embodiment is typically realized by a computer executing a program. Here, as the computer, a computer such as a server computer, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, etc., which is manufactured and sold as a computer, etc., a mobile phone, a smart phone, a Fablet etc. Those manufactured and sold as telephones, those manufactured as game machines and multimedia terminals such as portable game terminals and home entertainment devices are also included.

  Programs executed by a computer can be distributed and sold by a server to which the computer is communicably connected, and can be a compact disk read only memory (CD-ROM), a flash memory, or an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM). And the like, and it is also possible to distribute, sell, etc. the information recording medium after recording on a non-transitory information recording medium.

  The program is installed on a non-transitory information recording medium such as a hard disk of a computer, a solid state drive, a flash memory, an EEPROM or the like. Then, the game device in the present embodiment is realized by the computer. Generally, a central processing unit (CPU) of a computer reads out a program from an information recording medium to a random access memory (RAM) under the control of an operating system (OS) of the computer, and then codes included in the program. Interpret and execute. However, in an architecture in which the information recording medium can be mapped in a memory space accessible by the CPU, explicit program loading to the RAM may not be necessary. In addition, various information required in the process of program execution can be temporarily recorded in the RAM (temporary).

  The computer notifies the user of various information by displaying an image on a screen of a liquid crystal display or a television device or outputting sound to a speaker or a headphone.

  The computer also receives various instruction operations from the user via input devices such as a touch panel, a keyboard, a mouse, a joystick, buttons, keys, switches, and a microphone. Also, the position, direction, orientation, change, velocity, angular velocity, acceleration, angular acceleration, etc. detected by a position sensor, attitude sensor, acceleration sensor or the like may be regarded as input from the user.

  In addition, the computer can also input and output information with the user by using a touch screen in which a touch panel or the like and a liquid crystal display or the like are integrated.

  As described above, it is also possible to configure the game apparatus of the present embodiment using a dedicated electronic circuit instead of realizing the game apparatus of the present embodiment using a general-purpose computer.

In such an aspect, an electronic circuit that satisfies the specification defined in the program is configured by an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), or the like. The electronic circuit functions as a dedicated device that performs the function defined in the program, and implements the game device of the present embodiment.

(Overview of game device)
FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a schematic configuration of a game device according to an embodiment of the present invention. This will be described below with reference to this figure.

  The game device 101 according to the present embodiment provides a game in which the global position where each of the plurality of units is arranged in the global map is updated with time. Here, the game apparatus 101 includes a selection unit 102, a generation unit 103, a switching unit 105, a display unit 104, and a battle unit 106. In addition, various information of units referred to in the game, for example, settings of the global map and the local map are stored in the storage unit 107 configured by the RAM, the hard disk, and the like.

  Here, the present embodiment can be applied to various games such as simulation games, role playing games, and adventure games. As a unit, various things can be adopted such as characters, teams, parties, character groups, forces, devices, countries, etc. that act according to the instructions of the player. In the following, a simulation game in which a force is employed as a unit is described as an example.

  Moreover, although this game is suitable when playing a match on a computer, it is also possible to play a match with other players. Hereinafter, a unit according to the player's own instruction will be referred to as a "player unit", a unit instructed by the computer based on a predetermined algorithm, and a unit according to the instructions of other players will be referred to as an "enemy unit".

  In this game, units move in the global map based on the player's instructions as well as autonomously. Here, the position where each unit is placed in the global map is called the global position.

  As the player designates a target position in the global map for each player unit, each player unit gradually moves to the target position as time passes. That is, the game apparatus 101 updates each global position according to the passage of time.

  In this game, in the case where it is assumed to play a computer game, the algorithm to be used is automatically applied to the player unit so that the player does not explicitly specify the target position, but the game is automatically performed. It is also possible to configure the player unit to move.

  In this game, when the global position of the player unit and the global position of the enemy unit approach to some extent in the global map, the match between the two is started. Here, the condition for starting the battle is generally called a start condition.

  The start condition can be appropriately modified according to the type of game and the like. For example, in a role-playing game where units move arbitrarily in a global map and encounter enemy characters at random while in a specific area in the global map, the starting condition is not the distance to the enemy character, It will be determined by random numbers.

  When the global position where a plurality of units are arranged in the global map satisfies the open battle condition, the selection unit 102 selects a unit satisfying the open battle condition from the plurality of units. Hereinafter, a unit satisfying the open battle condition is called a "competitive unit".

  When a battle unit is selected, the generation unit 103 generates a local map in order to advance the battle by the battle unit. At this time, the generation unit 103 sets a local position at which each of the battle units is arranged in the local map. The local map is for representing the progress of the battle between units, and is generated when units that have not met the conditions for the war until now meet the conditions for the war.

  Note that, as described later, when a battle unit is selected to participate in the battle and the open conditions are satisfied between the battle unit that has already started the battle and the new unit, the local map for the battle is selected. By placing the new unit in, the new unit also becomes a battle unit that participates in the battle.

  In addition, several conditions in the global map may meet the war conditions. In this case, a battle may be started at each location, and a plurality of local maps may be generated for each of the battles, or the number of battles that can be advanced at one time may be limited to one. The latter can be applied to, for example, a role playing game that can not be divided into parties, and the former divides the simulation game in this mode and characters operated by the player into a plurality of parties, and each party becomes independent. The present invention can be applied to a role playing game or the like that advances a battle. In the former mode, in each of the local maps, the battle units that triggered the generation of the local map are respectively arranged.

  The switching unit 105 switches the current mode between the local mode and the global mode. Here, in the current mode, the player observes or manipulates the progress of the game globally, or selects one of the local maps and observes or manipulates it locally. The former is called the global mode and the latter is called the local mode.

  The switching of the current mode by the switching unit 105 may be based on an instruction operation of the player, or automatically switched to the local mode in response to occurrence of a predetermined event such as timing when the local map is generated. However, it may be possible to automatically return to the global mode if the player is left without explicit operation from the player.

  The display unit 104 displays on the screen a local map in which the battle unit is arranged if the current mode is the local mode, and a global map in which a plurality of units are arranged if the current mode is the global mode.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a display example of the global map when the units are separated. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a display example of the global map when the unit satisfies the open battle condition. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to these figures.

  A global map 201 is displayed on the screen 151 in the present display example. A plurality of player units 202a and enemy units 202b are arranged. Each unit 202 moves along a highway 203 prepared in the global map 201. When the player performs a drag and drop operation on the player unit 202a, a target position to which the player unit 202a should move can be set. The player unit 202a autonomously moves to the set target position according to the passage of time. Once the target position is reached, the global position may be maintained as it is, or the global position may be further autonomously updated according to the war situation or a scenario prepared in advance.

  Besides, in the global mode, a plurality of units may be grouped and moved together as if they were one unit 202. In the figure, the grouped units 202 are shown with their marks multiplexed. In addition, a pop-up window is displayed by mouse over or the like, and details of the grouped player units 202a (how much force group has which group) are displayed therein.

  Further, a scroll bar 152 is provided on the screen 151, and a region of the global map 201 displayed on the screen can be moved. The movement of the display area of the global map 201 can also be performed by performing a drag and drop operation on a point where the unit 202 is not displayed.

  Furthermore, a zoom button 153 is also provided on the screen 151, and the global map 201 can be scaled.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the unit 202 satisfies the open battle condition, a battle unit which is a unit 202 satisfying the open battle condition is highlighted and a frame 205 surrounding these is displayed. When the user clicks the frame 205, the mode is shifted to a local mode in which a local map for the battle in which the battle unit participates is displayed.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing a display example of a local map when a battle between battle units is started. This will be described below with reference to this figure.

  A local map 301 is displayed on the screen 151 in the present display example. As described above, although the global map 201 can be scaled, the local map 301 is not simply an enlargement of the global map 201, but the conditions for the war are satisfied and the battle units to be joined in the battle are determined. , Are newly generated.

  Although geographical information in the local map 301 typically reflects the situation around the global position where the battle unit 202 is located in the global map 201, a situation setting that can not be obtained only by enlarging the global map 201. And the like may be performed as appropriate. For example, in the global map 201, the unit 202 moves along the highway 203, but in the local map 301, the geography of towns, grasslands, mountains, valleys, rivers, seas, sands, marshes, lakes, etc. around the highway 203. It is possible to set a dynamic situation.

  In the present display example, a battle area 302 in which a battle is to be played is set in the local map 301, and the highway 203 is connected to the periphery of the battle area 302.

  The battle units 202 that satisfy the war conditions are automatically arranged in the local map 301 according to a predetermined algorithm. Further, in the global mode, even when a plurality of units are treated collectively as one unit 202 and moved, the local map 301 is divided and arranged in the original plurality of units.

  In order to return from the local mode to the global mode, a click operation or the like on the outside of the battle area 302 may be performed. For example, when the mode is returned to the global mode immediately after FIG. 4, the global map 201 is displayed on the screen 151 as shown in FIG.

  In this game, even in the local mode, the target position of the movement of the battle unit 202a can be set by the drag and drop operation on the battle unit 202a which is the player unit, as in the global mode. The battle unit 202a moves autonomously so as to approach the target position as time passes. Once the target position is reached, the position may be maintained as it is, or the local position may be updated autonomously according to the war situation.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a display example of the local map after the battle between the battle units progresses. In the figure, a state after time has elapsed from FIG. 4 is shown, and the local position of each battle unit 202 is changed. As described above, while the battle unit 202 moves while time passes, the battle between the player unit 202a and the enemy unit 202b is performed according to a battle algorithm to be described later.

  As described above, each battle unit 202 has two pieces of position information: the global position in the global map 201 and the local position in the local map 301. On the other hand, valid position information possessed by units 202 (remaining units) not participating in the battle is only the global position in the global map 201. This is because units 202 not participating in the match are not arranged in the local map, and thus the local position is not set (or information of invalid local positions set in the past remains undeleted).

  The local position for the battle unit 202 should be within the battle area 302. Therefore, by dragging and dropping a player unit 202a out of the battle area 302 in the local map 301, the player unit 202a can be released from the battle. The departure from the battle may be performed immediately by the operation, or the operation is interpreted as designation of the target position, and the player unit 202a moves with time and reaches the outside of the battle area 302. The setting of the player unit 202a as a battle unit may be canceled.

  As described above, in this game, the player can instruct the movement of the player unit 202a in either the global mode or the local mode, but the global position and the local position can be used as position information. The quality is different.

  Therefore, if the current mode is the local mode, the battle unit 106 refers to the local position where the battle unit is arranged, and advances the battle of the battle units according to the passage of time. On the other hand, when the current mode is the global mode, the battle unit 106 refers to the global position where the battle unit is arranged, and advances the battle of the battle units according to the passage of time.

  That is, when the player appropriately devises a strategy or tactics and instructs the player unit 202a, a program for realizing a battle algorithm is prepared so that the player unit 202a acts autonomously in accordance with the instruction. Typically, the battle algorithm for the local mode and the battle algorithm for the global mode are different.

  For example, in the global mode, the parameters mainly included in the unit 202 are compared, and in the competition algorithm for the global mode, the grouped units 202 are placed at the same position as they are, and some random elements are used to increase or decrease the parameters. A battle progresses by adding. On the other hand, in the local mode, in consideration of various factors such as from what position and in which direction the unit 202 made an attack and in which direction the opposing unit was prepared for the attack, etc. It calculates in detail how much damage the attack has done to the opposing unit 202. Thus, differences can be made in the definition of the simulation.

  In addition to such a configuration, the in-game time advancing speed in the global mode can be made faster than the in-game time advancing speed in the local mode to enhance the player's interest in the game.

  For example, players who want to enjoy tactics by finely commanding local battles use only the local mode, players who are interested in strategies such as logistics only use the global mode, or use the local mode. If the player determines that a large number of battles have been decided, the game can be adaptively provided according to the player's interest, for example, shifting to the global mode and preparing for the next battle.

  In the present example, the global map 201 and the local map 301 are displayed as a plan view, but the display mode of these is not limited to this. That is, it is sufficient that the “map” in the global map 201 and the local map 301 can represent the positional relationship in which the unit 202 is located in an environment, a scene, or a scene.

  For example, the global map 201 and the local map 301 may have a three-dimensional configuration in consideration of height differences, and may be represented by an overhead view or a bird's-eye view using a three-dimensional graphics technique. Alternatively, pseudo three-dimensional graphics may be realized and displayed by drawing the unit 202 in a three-dimensional shape while expressing two-dimensional position information in a diagonal coordinate system.

  In such a three-dimensional display mode, the viewpoint position and the gaze direction of observation are set. The viewpoint position and the gaze direction may be defined in advance or may be changed by an instruction operation of the player.

  Furthermore, if the unit is composed of characters, parties, etc., select one of the characters, set a viewpoint behind the selected character, and set a line of sight so as to penetrate the character. Can be displayed by a so-called third person viewpoint (TPS). In addition, it is also possible to adopt a display by a so-called first person viewpoint (FPS; First Person Shooter) by setting the eye position of the selected character as a viewpoint and setting the direction in which the eyes are facing as a gaze direction.

  For example, when the present invention is applied to a role playing game or the like in which a battle is started when a party to which a player character belongs encounters an enemy character randomly generated in the global map 201, the global map 201 is a plan view or oblique view. If it is expressed by a diagram and the local map 301 is expressed by a third person viewpoint, it is possible to provide information on the positional relationship of the unit 202 in a display format that is easy for the player.

  Thus, the global map 201 and the local map 301 can adopt various aspects as described above in addition to the two-dimensional plan view.

  Note that, while the current mode is the local mode, the global position of the units 202 (remaining units) not participating in the battle is updated according to the passage of time. Therefore, before and after observing the battle in the local mode, the position of each unit 202 in the global map 201 changes. Note that whether the global position of the battle unit participating in the battle is updated or fixed during the local mode may be set in advance according to the target age of the target player and the proficiency level of the game. , May be set by the player himself.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a display example of the global map when a new unit tries to participate in the battle. This figure shifts from the global mode shown in FIG. 3 to the local mode shown in FIG. 4 and enjoys the game in the local mode until the situation shown in FIG. It shows how it moved and then moved to the global mode again.

  In FIG. 6, one of the player units 202a moves so as to approach a frame 205 indicating that the game is in progress. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing a display example of the global map when a new unit participates in the battle. In the figure, one movement of the player unit 202a is further advanced and is in contact with the frame 205. Therefore, the player unit 202a satisfies the conditions for the war, and participates in the battle as a new battle unit.

  At this stage, when the mode is shifted to the local mode, the local map 301 is displayed on the screen. FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing a display example of a local map when a new unit participates in the battle. As shown in the figure, a new battle unit is arranged in the battle area 302 and is to participate in the battle.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5 and the example shown in FIG. 8, the local position of the battle unit 202 (A, B, C, P, Q, R) which has been participating in the battle before remains fixed. As described above, in the present embodiment, during the global mode, the update of the local position is restricted so that the local position of the battle unit 202 which has participated in the battle does not change significantly. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the player from being confused because the situation of the battle in the local mode does not change significantly when the local mode is changed to the global mode, and then returned to the local mode. Can. In particular, in the case where a plurality of battles are played in parallel, etc., such restriction makes it easy for the player to grasp the situation of the game.

  As a method of limiting the update of the local position during the global mode, there is a method of fixing the local position, a method of setting an upper limit on the amount of change of the local position (moving distance), and fixing the local position after moving to the target position. There is a method.

  The method of fixing the local position is suitable when the assumed age is low or when a large number of battles are played in parallel. On the other hand, the method of setting the upper limit to the amount of change of the local position or fixing the local position once reaching the target position is suitable for a relatively experienced player. Either one may be selected according to the player's assumed age or skill level, or the player may be allowed to select and set one by one.

  Also, when there is no other match, a fixed method is adopted after reaching the upper limit of change or target position, and when there is another match, a method of fixing a local position is adopted, etc. It is also possible to adjust whether or not to update the local position in the global mode and to adjust the method according to the presence or the number of battles being played.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the game device. This will be described below with reference to this figure. The present process is started when the computer that realizes the game apparatus 101 executes a program or the like.

  First, the game apparatus 101 initializes parameters and the like including the global position of each unit 202 in the global map 201 (step S401). When the game is newly started, these are set to appropriate initial values, but the game state may be initialized by loading the game state saved in the past.

  Next, the game apparatus 101 sets the current mode to the global mode (step S402), and based on the information of the parameter including the global position of the unit 202 arranged in the global map 201 according to the current mode, the global map 201 Is generated (step S403).

  Then, after waiting until a vertical synchronization interruption of the screen occurs (step S404), the game apparatus 101 transfers and displays the generated image on the screen (step S405).

  Thereafter, the game apparatus 101 checks the presence or absence of an instruction from the user and the type thereof (step S406).

  If there is no instruction (step S406; none), the game apparatus 101 acquires the current time from the real time clock etc. (step S407), and updates the in-game time based on the acquired current time in the real world (step S407). S408).

  Then, based on the updated in-game time and the current global position of each unit 202, the game apparatus 101 updates various parameters including the global position of each unit 202 according to the competition algorithm for the global mode ( Step S409). This update includes processing such as moving the global position of each unit 202 close to the target position set in the unit 202, or performing simulation of offense and defense to increase or decrease a parameter if a battle has already occurred.

  Then, the game apparatus 101 searches for a unit 202 that satisfies the open battle conditions for starting a new battle (step S410). If there is no such unit 202 (step S410; No), the game apparatus 101 proceeds with the control to step S413. If there is (step S410; Yes), the game apparatus 101 generates a new local map (step S410). S411) The local position of each battle unit is set in the generated local map with the unit 202 found as the battle unit (step S412).

  Furthermore, the game apparatus 101 searches for a unit 202 which has not participated in the battle that meets the conditions for the battle against the battle units participating in the already started battle (step S413). If there is no such unit 202 (step S413; No), the game apparatus 101 returns the control to step S403, and if there is (step S413; Yes), the game apparatus 101 should be the newly found battle unit. The local position of unit 202 is set in the existing local map (step S414), and control is returned to step S403.

  Then, if the battle is started, a frame 205 or the like for specifying the battle unit 202 participating in the battle is also drawn in the image.

  By the way, if the instruction from the user is an instruction to shift to a local mode for designating one of the battles by designating the frame 205 or the like (step S406; local mode), the game apparatus 101 selects the current mode as the local mode. Are set (step S422), and an image representing the local map 301 is generated based on information of parameters including the local position of the unit 202 arranged on the local map 301 according to the current mode (step S423).

  Then, the game apparatus 101 waits until the vertical synchronization interruption of the screen occurs (step S424), and then transfers the generated image to the screen and displays it (step S425).

  Thereafter, the game apparatus 101 checks the presence or absence of an instruction from the user and the type thereof (step S426).

  If there is no instruction (step S426; none), the game apparatus 101 acquires the current time from the real time clock etc. (step S427), and updates the in-game time based on the acquired current time in the real world (step S427). S428).

  Then, based on the updated in-game time and the current local position of each unit 202, the game apparatus 101 updates various parameters including the local position of each unit 202 according to the battle algorithm for the local mode ( Step S429). This update includes processing such as moving the local position of each unit 202 closer to the target position set in the unit 202, or performing simulation of offense and defense if a battle has already occurred to increase or decrease a parameter.

  Furthermore, the global position of each unit 202 is updated as necessary (step S430), and the same process as steps S410-S414 (steps S440-S444) causes a new match to be started as needed, and the local map is created. The game apparatus 101 returns the control to step S423 by creating or adding a new unit to the local map.

  On the other hand, when there is an instruction to return to the global mode by clicking outside the battle area 302 (step S426; global mode), the game apparatus 101 returns the control to step S402.

  In addition, when various instructions such as setting of a target position in the local mode are given (step S426; other), the game apparatus 101 performs the processing of the corresponding local mode (step S445), and returns the control to step S423. .

  Further, when various instructions such as setting of a target position in the global mode are given (step S406; other), the game apparatus 101 performs the processing of the corresponding global mode (step S415), and returns the control to step S403. .

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, in a game capable of switching between the global mode and the local mode, the progress of the game in both modes can be appropriately controlled to provide the player with an easy-to-understand progress of the game. .

(Summary)
As described above, the game device according to the present embodiment is:
