Description

The present invention relates to a game control device, a game system, and a program.

There is known a game in which the probability that the result of the game processing becomes a specific result is controlled to be a predetermined probability (or a probability close to the probability). As an example of such a game, a mode in which the user sees the hit result of the batter character determined by the computer without operating the batter character (for example, a manager who gives only strategy instructions and player replacement instructions from the manager's standpoint). Baseball games with modes, etc.) are known. In such a baseball game, for example, when the batter character is hit with a probability of 30%, first, based on the probability, it is determined whether or not the batter character is hit, and the batter character is hit. When it is decided to hit, the game process (batter process) is executed so that it will always be a hit. Specifically, the hit ball is skipped toward a position where a hit is always made (for example, the midpoint between the center fielder and the right fielder).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-252250

For example, "Chance: A" indicates that the chance is very strong. If the player character has the special ability "Chance: A", the basic ability of the player character is greatly increased in the chance scene. Also, for example, "against left pitcher: B" indicates that he is strong against left pitcher. If the player character has the special ability "against left pitcher: B", the basic ability of the player character becomes higher than usual when the opponent's pitcher is a left pitcher.

"Power hitter" is the ability to easily hit a home run. Player characters with the special ability "Power Hitter" can easily hit home runs and outfield flies. "Hard hit" is the ability to make it easier to hit multiple hits in one game. If a player character with the special ability "hard hit" hits a hit during a match, it becomes easier to hit a hit at a later turn at bat. "First ball" is the ability to make it easier to hit the first ball in each turn at bat. A player character with the special ability "first ball" can easily hit the first ball in his turn at bat.

Element E380 indicates an instruction selected as an instruction to the batter character. Element E390 indicates an instruction selected as an instruction to the pitcher character.

When the user team attacks, one of a plurality of types of instructions (commands) for the pitcher character is selected for each turn at bat by the opponent (computer or the like). As multiple types of instructions for the pitcher character, for example, one instructing a low ball to play as a deciding ball (low game), one instructing a high ball to play as a deciding ball (high game), and an inside angle. Those that instruct the ball to play as a deciding ball (inner angle game), those that instruct the ball of the outer angle to play as a deciding ball (outer angle game), and those that instruct a non-strike ball to play as a deciding ball (ball game) ), Instructing to avoid (avoidance), instructing to throw with caution against bunt (bunt caution), and instructing to throw with caution against stealing (stolen base), etc. ..

As shown in FIG. 4, the batter character X1, the pitcher character X2, and the catcher character X3 (catcher player character) are also displayed on the match image G30. The game image G30 shows that the pitcher character X2 throws a ball, the batter character X1 swings a bat to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher character X2, and the batter character X2 sees off the ball thrown by the pitcher character X2. To. After selecting any of the elements E281 to E289 (or after the time limit has expired), the user watches how the batter character X1 strikes based on the instructions shown in the element E380 without performing any operation. It will be.

In this case, for example, for each ball, the pitching / hitting result is determined from the following five results based on the probability information. Then, the determined result is displayed on the match image G30. At this time, the probability information is set based on, for example, at least one of the ability information of the batter character X1, the instruction to the batter character X1, the ability information of the pitcher character X2, and the instruction to the pitcher character X2.
(1) The batter character X1 sees off the ball and is determined to be a strike.
(2) The batter character X1 sees off the ball and is determined to be the ball.
(3) The batter character X1 misses.
(4) The ball hit by the batter character X1 flies to the foul zone.
(5) The ball hit by the batter character X1 flies to the fair zone.

For example, when the result (3) is determined, the appearance of the batter character X1 swinging is displayed on the match image G30.

Further, for example, when the result (5) is determined, the ball hit by the batter character X1 is moved, each player character of the defending team is made to defend, or the batter character (and the runner character) runs. The process of making a base run is executed. In the following, this process will be referred to as “hit process”.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a flow until the impact processing is executed. In the hitting process, the probability that the hitting result of the batter character X1 becomes a "hit" (hereinafter referred to as "hit probability") is equal to or close to the probability determined in advance based on the batter character X1. Will be executed. The case where the hitting result is a "hit" is a case where the hitting result is either a single hit, a double hit, a triple hit, or a home run. FIG. 5 shows steps SA, SB, SC, and SD. Hereinafter, these steps SA to SD will be described.

In step SA, the hit probability of the batter character X1 is determined. In the example shown in FIG. 5, "0.31" is determined as the hit probability of the batter character X1.

The hit probability is determined based on the ability information of the batter character X1. For example, when the "meat" ability of the batter character X1 is high, the hit probability is determined to be higher than when the "meat" ability of the batter character X1 is low. Further, for example, when the batter character X1 has the special ability "hard hit", the hit probability is determined to be higher than the normal probability in the turn at bat after the batter character X1 hits a hit. Further, for example, when the batter character X1 has the special ability "first ball", the hit probability is determined to be higher in the first ball than in the second and subsequent balls.

The hit probability may be determined based on the ability information of the batter character X1 and the ability information of the pitcher character X2. For example, when the hitting force of the batter character X1 is higher than the pitching force of the pitcher character X2, the hit probability is determined to be higher than when the hitting force of the batter character X1 is lower than the pitching force of the pitcher character X2. You may do so.

In step SB, a plurality of candidates for parameter setting information used when executing the impact processing are set. In the example shown in FIG. 5, 100 candidates C1 to C100 are set.

In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of parameter setting information indicating the setting contents of the parameters related to the impact processing are prepared. In the example shown in FIG. 5, 63 types of parameter setting information J1 to J63 are prepared. FIG. 6A is a diagram showing an example of these parameter setting information J1 to J63.

As shown in FIG. 6A, each of the parameter setting information J1 to J63 shows the setting contents of the hitting direction parameter, the hitting type parameter, and the hitting strength parameter, which are three parameters among the plurality of parameters related to the hitting process. ing. The parameter setting information J1 to J63 indicate different setting contents.

The hitting direction parameter indicates the moving direction of the hitting ball. For example, the hitting direction parameter is set to one of "right", "middle", and "left". "Right" corresponds to the right direction, "middle" corresponds to the center direction, and "left" corresponds to the left direction.

The hitting type parameter indicates the movement mode of the hitting ball. For example, the hitting type parameter is set to one of "fly", "ground ball", and "liner".

The hitting strength parameter indicates the momentum of the hitting ball. For example, the hitting strength parameter is set to any of "1" to "7". The larger the value, the stronger the momentum of the hit ball.

For example, the parameter setting information J1 indicates that the hitting direction parameter is set to "right", the hitting type parameter is set to "fly", and the hitting strength parameter is set to "1". Further, for example, the parameter setting information J63 indicates that the hitting direction parameter is set to "left", the hitting type parameter is set to "liner", and the hitting strength parameter is set to "7".

A basic probability is associated with the parameter setting information J1 to J63. FIG. 6B shows an example of the basic probabilities associated with the parameter setting information J1 to J63. The "basic probability" indicates the probability that the result of the hitting process will be a "hit" when the hitting process is executed based on the parameter setting information.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 6B, when the hitting direction parameter is set to "left", the hitting type parameter is set to "liner", and the hitting strength parameter is set to "7" (parameter setting information J63). The basic probability is set to "0.8". This becomes a "hit" when the hitting process is executed with the hitting direction parameter set to "left", the hitting type parameter set to "liner", and the hitting strength parameter set to "7". Indicates that the probability is "0.8".

For example, the basic probability of the parameter setting information J63 is obtained by executing the hitting process a plurality of times (for example, 100 times or 1000 times) based on the parameter setting information J63, and calculating the ratio of "hits" among them. .. Specifically, parameter setting information is used in a state where a player character having an average ability is used as a batter character of an attacking team or a player character of a defensive side team, and a player character of the defensive side team is placed in a normal defensive position. Based on J63, the hit ball is moved, the player character on the defensive side is made to defend, the batter character is made to run the base, and the simulation process of determining whether the hit or the out is performed is executed multiple times. By calculating the ratio of "hits", the basic probability of the parameter setting information J63 can be acquired. Since the trajectory of the hit ball randomly fluctuates within a predetermined range each time the hitting process is executed based on the parameter setting information J63, even if the hitting process is executed based on the same parameter setting information J63. , Sometimes it's a hit, sometimes it's out. The basic probabilities of other parameter setting information J1 to J62 are also set in the same manner.

As shown in FIG. 5, in step SB, 100 candidates C1 to C100 of the parameter setting information used when executing the impact processing are selected from the parameter setting information J1 to J63. It should be noted that the candidates C1 to C100 may include a plurality of the same parameter setting information in duplicate. Further, the candidates C1 to C100 may not include all of the parameter setting information J1 to J63, and some of the parameter setting information J1 to J63 may not be included in the candidates C1 to C100.

As will be described later, in step SC, any one of the candidates C1 to C100 is randomly selected, and in step SD, the striking process is executed based on the selected parameter setting information. In this regard, in step SB, the probability that the result of the hitting process executed based on any one randomly selected from the candidates C1 to C100 becomes a "hit" is the hit probability determined in step SA. Candidates C1 to C100 are set so as to have equal or close probabilities. Here, the "probability close to the hit probability" is a probability that the difference from the hit probability is within a predetermined value. In step SB, the probability that the result of the hitting process executed based on any one randomly selected from the candidates C1 to C100 becomes a "hit" matches the hit probability determined in step SA. As such, candidates C1 to C100 may be set.

As will be described later, in step SC, when any one of the candidates C1 to C100 is randomly selected, the probability that each candidate C1 to C100 is selected is set to the same probability. That is, the probability that each candidate C1 to C100 is selected is set to "1/100". Therefore, assuming that the basic probabilities of the parameter setting information selected as candidates C1 to C100 are PB1 to PB100, the result of the impact processing executed based on any one randomly selected from the candidates C1 to C100. Is a "hit" ((PB1 + PB2 + ... + PB100) / 100). Therefore, when the hit probability determined in step SA is "0.31", in step SB, ((PB1 + PB2 + ... + PB100) / 100) is equal to or close to "0.31". Then, candidates C1 to C100 are selected. That is, candidates C1 to C100 are selected so that the sum of the basic probabilities (PB1 + PB2 + ... + PB100) of the parameter setting information selected as candidates C1 to C100 is equal to or close to "0.3 * 100". Will be done.

In step SB, specific parameter setting information may be preferentially selected as candidates C1 to C100 based on the instruction to the batter character X1. That is, the parameter setting information corresponding to the instruction to the batter character X1 may be easily selected as the candidates C1 to C100. In other words, the parameter setting information that does not match the instruction for the batter character X1 may be difficult to be selected (or not selected) as the candidates C1 to C100.

For example, when the instruction to the batter character X1 is related to the hitting direction, the parameter setting information of the hitting direction corresponding to the instruction corresponds to the "parameter setting information matching the instruction".

Specifically, when the instruction to the batter character X1 is "center return" (element E281), the parameter setting information J22 to J42 in which the hitting direction parameter is "medium" are "parameter setting information matching the instruction". The parameter setting information J1 to J21 and J43 to J63 in which the hitting direction parameter is "right" or "left" correspond to "parameter setting information that does not match the instruction".

Alternatively, when the batter character X1 is a right-handed batter and the instruction to the batter character X1 is "pull" (element E283), the parameter setting information J43 to J63 whose hitting direction parameter is "left" is "instruction". The parameter setting information J1 to J42 whose hitting direction parameters are "right" or "middle" correspond to "parameter setting information not matching the instruction".

Alternatively, when the batter character X1 is a right-handed batter and the instruction to the batter character X1 is "opposite field" (element E283), the parameter setting information J1 to J21 whose hitting direction parameter is "right" is ". The parameter setting information J22 to J63 in which the hitting direction parameter is "middle" or "left" corresponds to "parameter setting information conforming to the instruction", and corresponds to "parameter setting information not conforming to the instruction".

Further, for example, when the instruction to the batter character X1 relates to the strength of the swing, the parameter setting information of the hitting strength corresponding to the instruction corresponds to the "parameter setting information corresponding to the instruction".

Specifically, when the instruction to the batter character X1 is "full swing" (element E282), the hitting strength parameter is a predetermined value (for example, 6) or more. Parameter setting information J6, J7, J13, J14, J20, J21, J27, J28, J34, J35, J41, J42, J48, J49, J55, J56, J62, J63 correspond to "parameter setting information according to the instruction", and the hitting strength parameter is a predetermined value (for example). 2) The following parameter setting information J1, J2, J8, J9, J15, J16, J22, J23, J29, J30, J36, J37, J43, J44, J50, J51, J57, J58 "does not meet the instructions. Corresponds to "parameter setting information".

Further, in step SB, specific parameter setting information may be preferentially selected as candidates C1 to C100 based on the ability information of the batter character X1. That is, the parameter setting information suitable for the ability of the batter character X1 may be easily selected as the candidates C1 to C100. In other words, the parameter setting information that does not match the ability of the batter character X1 may be difficult to be selected (or not selected) as the candidates C1 to C100.

For example, when the "power" ability of the hitter character X1 is high, the hitting strength parameter is a predetermined value (for example, 6) or more. Parameter setting information J6, J7, J13, J14, J20, J21, J27, J28, J34. , J35, J41, J42, J48, J49, J55, J56, J62, J63 correspond to "parameter setting information suitable for ability", and the hitting strength parameter is a predetermined value (for example, 2) or less. , J2, J8, J9, J15, J16, J22, J23, J29, J30, J36, J37, J43, J44, J50, J51, J57, J58 correspond to "parameter setting information not suitable for the ability".

Further, for example, when the "ballistic" ability of the batter character X1 is high, the parameter setting information J1 to J7, J22 to J28, and J43 to J49 whose hitting type parameter is "fly" is "parameter setting information suitable for the ability". The parameter setting information J8 to J14, J29 to J35, and J50 to J56 in which the hitting type parameter is "goro" corresponds to "parameter setting information not suitable for the ability".

Further, for example, when the batter character X1 has the special ability "power hitter", the hitting strength parameter is a predetermined value (for example, 6) or more, and the hitting type parameter is "fly". Parameter setting information J6. J7, J27, J28, J48, J49 correspond to "parameter setting information suitable for ability", the hitting strength parameter is a predetermined value (for example, 2) or less, and the hitting type parameter is "goro". Setting information J8, J9, J29, J30, J50, J51 correspond to "parameter setting information that does not match the ability".

Further, in step SB, specific parameter setting information may be preferentially selected as candidates C1 to C100 based on the instruction to the pitcher character X2. That is, the parameter setting information corresponding to the instruction to the pitcher character X2 may be easily selected as the candidates C1 to C100. In other words, the parameter setting information that does not match the instruction for the pitcher character X2 may be difficult to be selected (or not selected) as the candidates C1 to C100.

For example, when the instruction to the pitcher character X2 is "low game", the parameter setting information J8 to J14, J29 to J35, and J50 to J56 whose hit ball type parameter is "ground ball" are "parameter setting information matching the instruction". , And the parameter setting information J1 to J7, J22 to J28, and J43 to J49 in which the hitting type parameter is “fly” corresponds to “parameter setting information that does not match the instruction”.

Further, in step SB, specific parameter setting information may be preferentially selected as candidates C1 to C100 based on the ability information of the pitcher character X2. That is, the parameter setting information suitable for the ability of the pitcher character X2 may be easily selected as the candidates C1 to C100. In other words, the parameter setting information that does not match the ability of the pitcher character X2 may be difficult to be selected (or not selected) as the candidates C1 to C100.

For example, when the pitcher character X2 has a special ability that is good at hitting a ground ball, the parameter setting information J8 to J14, J29 to J35, and J50 to J56 whose hitting type parameter is "ground ball" are "matching the ability". The parameter setting information J1 to J7, J22 to J28, and J43 to J49, in which the hitting type parameter is "fly", correspond to "parameter setting information not suitable for the ability".

In step SB, specific parameter setting information is provided based on at least two of the instruction to the batter character X1, the ability information of the batter character X1, the instruction to the pitcher character X2, and the ability information of the pitcher character X2. It may be preferentially selected as candidates C1 to C100.

For example, when the instruction to the right-handed batter character X1 is "opposite field", the parameter setting information whose hitting direction parameter is "right" is candidate C1 to C100 as compared with the case other than "opposite field". If the right-handed batter character X1 has the special ability "opposite field" that can be skillfully performed, the parameter whose hitting direction parameter is "right". The setting information may be made easier to be selected.

In step SC, any one of the candidates C1 to C100 set as described above is randomly selected. In this case, the probabilities that the candidates C1 to C100 are selected are set to the same probability. That is, the probability that each candidate C1 to C100 is selected is set to "1/100". In the example shown in FIG. 5, candidate C4 (parameter setting information J39) is selected from the candidates C1 to C100.

In step SD, the hitting process is executed based on the parameter setting information J39 selected as described above. Parameter setting information J39 indicates that the hitting direction parameter is set to "medium", the hitting type parameter is set to "liner", and the hitting strength parameter is set to "4". Therefore, in this case, the hitting direction parameter is set. , The hitting type parameter, and the hitting strength parameter are set to "medium", "liner", and "4", respectively, and the hitting process is executed. For example, the batter character X1 can be moved with the hitting direction parameter, hitting type parameter, and hitting strength parameter set to "medium", "liner", and "4", respectively, or a match is made based on the hitting ball. Processing is executed such that the player character of the opponent team is made to defend and the batter character X1 is made to run the base. If the runner character is on at least one base, the process of causing the runner character to run the base is also executed. In this case, the batter character X1 moves, the player character of the opponent team defends, and the batter character X1 (and the runner character) runs on the base, which is displayed on the game image G30, and the user can see the situation. You will see it.

In the above, the attack time of the user team has been mainly described, but the same process is executed when the user team is defending. In the instruction image G20 when the user team is defending, a plurality of types of instructions (commands) for the pitcher character of the user team are displayed on the element E280. Further, in this case, an instruction to the batter character of the opponent team is selected by the opponent (computer or the like).

In the baseball game described above, the batting process is executed based on the parameter setting information selected from the plurality of candidates C1 to C100. In this case, the probability that the result of the hitting process will be a "hit" is the basic probability associated with the selected parameter setting information, so the hitting process is executed so that the result of the hitting process is always a "hit". It becomes difficult for the user to predict whether or not the result of the hitting process will be a "hit".

Further, in a baseball game, the result of the hitting process executed based on the parameter setting information selected from the candidate C1 to C100 of the parameter setting information used when executing the hitting process is a "hit". Since the probability of becoming a hit is set to be equal to or close to a predetermined hit probability, the result of the hitting process should be a "hit" with a probability equal to or close to the predetermined hit probability. Can be done.

In step SB, the hit probability is determined in advance to determine the probability that the result of the hitting process executed based on the parameter setting information selected from the candidates C1 to C100 will be a "hit". It is set so that the probabilities are equal to or close to each other, but it may be set so as to match a predetermined hit probability. In this way, the result of the hitting process may be a "hit" with a predetermined hit probability.

Further, in step SC, any one of the candidates C1 to C100 is selected with the same probability, but the probability of being selected may be set for each of the candidates C1 to C100. That is, when the probability that each of the candidates C1 to C100 is selected in the step SC is set to PU1 to PU100, PU1 to PU100 do not have to be equal.

In this case, the probability that the result of the hitting process executed based on any one of the candidates C1 to C100 will be a "hit" is "PU1 * PB1 + PU2 * PB2 + ... + PU99 * PB99 + PU100 * PB100". become. Therefore, in step SB, candidates C1 to C100 are set so that the above probabilities are equal to or close to the hit probabilities.

Further, in the above, it has been described that the parameter setting information indicates the setting contents regarding three parameters (that is, the hitting direction parameter, the hitting type parameter, and the hitting strength parameter), but the parameter setting information relates to four or more parameters. The setting contents may be shown, or the setting contents regarding two or less parameters may be shown.

Further, in the above, it has been described that 100 candidates are set as the candidates for the parameter setting information used when executing the impact processing, but 101 or more candidates may be set, or 99 or less candidates may be set. May be set.

Further, although it has been described above that the baseball game has a manager mode, the baseball game may have an spectator mode. That is, the user may be able to watch the game from the standpoint of the spectators. That is, the instructions to the player characters of both teams may be given by the computer.

Further, the functions described above can be realized in games other than baseball games. For example, in a soccer game, the probability that the result of the shooting process will be a "goal" by executing the same processing as the processing shown in FIG. 5 in the shooting scene of the game executed in the manager mode (or the spectator mode). May be controlled so that the probability is equal to or close to the predetermined goal probability. In this case, for example, as the parameter setting information, a plurality of types of parameter setting information indicating the setting contents of the parameters related to the shoot (for example, the shoot direction parameter, the shoot type parameter, the shoot strength parameter, etc.) are set. Here, the "shoot type parameter" is a parameter indicating whether the movement mode of the shot ball is a goro, a loop, a liner, or the like.

[3. Function block] The configuration for realizing the function described above will be described. FIG. 7 shows a functional block related to the present invention among the functional blocks realized by the game device 10. As shown in FIG. 7, the game device 10 includes a data storage unit 100, an instruction reception unit 110, a probability determination unit 120, a candidate setting unit 130, a selection unit 140, and an execution unit 150.

For example, the data storage unit 100 is realized by the storage unit 12. The data storage unit 100 may be realized by a storage unit included in another device accessible from the game device 10. Further, the instruction receiving unit 110, the probability determination unit 120, the candidate setting unit 130, the selection unit 140, and the execution unit 150 are realized by the control unit 11.

[3-1] The data storage unit 100 stores data necessary for executing the game. For example, parameter setting data D101, basic probability data D102, game character data D103, team data D104, and the like are stored in the data storage unit 100.

[3-1-1] The parameter setting data D101 is data showing a plurality of types of parameter setting information indicating the setting contents of one or a plurality of parameters. In the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the data showing the parameter setting information J1 to J63 as shown in FIG. 6A is stored as the parameter setting data D101. That is, the data in which each of the identification information (J1 to J63) of the parameter setting information is associated with the setting contents of the hitting direction parameter, the hitting type parameter, and the hitting strength parameter is stored as the parameter setting data D101.

Here, the "parameter" is a parameter related to game processing. In other words, the "parameter" is a parameter that affects the result of the game processing. That is, the result of the game processing changes depending on the parameter setting contents. The "parameter" may be numerical information or may not be numerical information. In the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the hitting direction parameter, the hitting type parameter, and the hitting strength parameter correspond to an example of the “parameter”. Further, in the case of the above-mentioned soccer game, the shooting direction parameter, the shooting type parameter, and the shooting strength parameter correspond to an example of the “parameter”.

The "parameter setting information" is information indicating the setting contents of one or a plurality of parameters. In other words, the "parameter setting information" is information indicating how one or a plurality of parameters are set. "Parameter setting information" can be paraphrased as "parameter setting condition". Further, the "plurality-type parameter setting information" is a plurality of parameter setting information indicating setting contents different from each other.

The "game process" is a process executed during the execution of the game. The "game process" is a process executed based on one or a plurality of parameters. For example, "game processing" is processing related to game objects.

A "game object" is an object that can be used in a game. It can also be rephrased as an object that can be displayed on the display means during the execution of the game. For example, a virtual tangible object placed in the game space corresponds to an example of a "game object". Specifically, the game character corresponds to an example of a "game object". In sports games such as baseball games and soccer games, the ball is also an example of a "game object". Also, for example, a game item or a game card corresponds to an example of a "game object".

The "process related to the game object" is, for example, a process of changing the state of the game object. The "state of the game object" includes the position, moving direction, moving speed, and the like of the game object. The process of moving the game object corresponds to an example of "process of changing the state of the game object".

Further, the "process related to the game object" may be, for example, a process of causing the game object to perform an operation. Alternatively, the "process related to the game object" may be, for example, a process in which the state of the second game object is changed by the operation of the first game object.

In the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the batter processing corresponds to an example of "game processing". That is, an example of "game processing" is a process of moving a ball struck by a batter character, having a player character of a defending team defend, or having a batter character (and a runner character) run a base. Corresponds to. Further, in the case of the soccer game described above, the shoot process corresponds to an example of the “game process”. That is, the process of moving the ball shot by the player character or causing the player character of the defending team to defend is an example of "game processing".

[3-1-2] The basic probability data D102 is data indicating the basic probability. Each of the plurality of types of parameter setting information is associated with a basic probability indicating the probability that the result of the game processing will be a specific result when the game processing is executed based on the parameter setting information. Therefore, the basic probability data D102 is data in which the basic probability is associated with each of the plurality of types of parameter setting information. In the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, data indicating the basic probabilities of the parameter setting information J1 to J63 as shown in FIG. 6B is stored as the basic probability data D102. That is, the data in which each of the identification information (J1 to J63) of the parameter setting information is associated with the basic probability is stored as the parameter setting data D101.

Here, the "basic probability" indicates the probability (prediction probability or estimation probability) that the result of the game processing becomes a specific result when the game processing is executed based on the parameter setting information.

For example, the "basic probability" is a probability set based on the number of times or the ratio that the result of the game processing becomes a specific result when the game processing is executed a plurality of times based on the parameter setting information. For example, the "basic probability" is set based on a value obtained by dividing the number of times the result of the game processing becomes a specific result by the number of times the game processing is executed. Here, the execution of the game processing a plurality of times may be performed by the computer of the game developer (game development device or the like), or may be performed by the game devices 10 of a plurality of users. That is, the results of the game processing executed based on the parameter setting information in each of the game devices 10 of the plurality of users may be collected, and the basic probability may be set (reviewed) based on the collected results. In short, the basic probability data D102 may be corrected by feeding back the user's play result to the basic probability data D102. In this case, if the ability of the player character (game character) used by the user is very high or low, it is considered inappropriate to use the play result for the above correction, and therefore the ability of the player character. It may be possible to adopt only the play result when is within a predetermined range.

A "specific result" is one or more of a plurality of possible results when a game process is executed. For example, when the game process is "a process of changing the state of a game object", the state of the game object becomes a specific state, which corresponds to a "specific result". Further, for example, when the game process is "a process of causing a game object to perform an action", the result of the action of the game object becomes a specific result, which corresponds to the "specific result".

For example, in the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the hit processing corresponds to an example of "game processing", "hits" and "out" correspond to an example of "multiple results", and "hits" correspond to "specific results". Corresponds to one example. In addition, "out" may correspond to an example of "specific result".

For example, in the case of a soccer game, shoot processing corresponds to an example of "game processing", "goal" and "non-goal" correspond to an example of "multiple results", and "goal" corresponds to "specific result". Corresponds to one example. In addition, "other than the goal" may correspond to an example of "specific result". “Other than the goal” means that the shot ball is caught or punched by the goalkeeper, or the shot ball moves out of the goal frame.

[3-1-3] The game character data D103 indicates information on a game character appearing in the game. FIG. 8 shows an example of the game character data D103 in the above-mentioned baseball game. The game character data D103 shown in FIG. 8 shows information on a player character appearing in a baseball game.

As shown in FIG. 8, the game character data D103 includes "player ID", "name", "affiliation", "uniform number", "defensive position", "form", "throwing", "ability information", and Includes Grade Information field. The "player ID" field indicates a player ID that is identification information that uniquely identifies the player character. The "name", "affiliation", "uniform number", and "defensive position" fields indicate the player character's name, team, uniform number, and proper defensive position (special defensive position). The "form" field indicates the batter or throw form of the player character. For the fielder's player character, the batting form is registered in the "form" field, and for the pitcher's player character, the throwing form is registered in the "form" field. The "throwing" field indicates the skill of the player character when throwing and the skill of the player character when hitting. Basic ability information and special ability information of the player character are registered in the "ability information" field. In the "result information" field, the grade information related to the grade that the player character has acquired in the match is registered.

[3-1-4] Team data D104 indicates information on teams (groups, parties, guilds, corps, etc.) appearing in the game. In the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the team data D104 indicating the information of the baseball team appearing in the game is stored in the data storage unit 100. The team data D104 in this case includes data indicating the batting order (starting member) and the bench member.

[3-2] The instruction receiving unit 110 receives instructions for the game object.

Here, "accepting an instruction to a game object" means accepting an operation indicating an instruction to the game object. Alternatively, "accepting an instruction to a game object" may mean receiving data indicating an instruction to the game object.

For example, in the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the batter character corresponds to an example of a "game object" when the user team attacks. Further, accepting the selection of any one of the elements E281 to E289 of the instruction image G20 corresponds to an example of "accepting the instruction to the game object". That is, when the user team attacks, the instruction receiving unit 110 receives an instruction to the batter character. When the user team is defending, the pitcher character corresponds to an example of a "game object", and the instruction receiving unit 110 receives an instruction to the pitcher character.

Further, for example, in the case of a soccer game, in the shooting scene of the user team, the player character who shoots corresponds to an example of the "game object", and the instruction receiving unit 110 receives an instruction to the player character.

[3-3] The probability determination unit 120 determines the probability that the result of the game processing executed based on one or a plurality of parameters will be a specific result.

For example, when the game process is a process related to a game object, the probability determination unit 120 may determine the probability based on the game object.

Here, "determining the probability based on the game object" means, for example, determining the probability that the result of the game processing becomes a specific result based on the information of the game object (for example, performance information). be. Specifically, for example, the higher the performance of the game object, the higher the probability, and the probability is determined. The lower the performance of the game object, the higher the probability, and the probability may be determined.

For example, in the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the hitting process corresponds to an example of "game processing", and the probability (hit probability) that the result of the hitting process becomes a "hit" corresponds to an example of "probability". Also, the batter character corresponds to an example of a "game object". That is, the probability determination unit 120 determines the hit probability based on the batter character's ability information (ability as a batter). For example, the probability determination unit 120 determines the hit probability so that when the batter character's ability is high, the hit probability is higher than when the batter character's ability is low.

The batter character and the pitcher character may correspond to a "game object". That is, the probability determination unit 120 may determine the hit probability based on the comparison result between the batter character's ability information (ability as a batter) and the pitcher character's ability information (ability as a pitcher). For example, the probability determination unit 120 makes it possible that when the hitting force of the batter character is higher than the pitching force of the pitcher character, the hit probability is higher than when the hitting force of the batter character is lower than the pitching force of the pitcher character. , The hit probability may be determined.

Further, for example, in the case of a soccer game, the shoot processing corresponds to an example of "game processing", and the probability (goal probability) that the result of the shooting processing becomes a "goal" corresponds to an example of "probability". Further, the player character who shoots corresponds to an example of a "game object". That is, the probability determination unit 120 determines the goal probability based on the ability information (shooting power) of the player character who shoots. The player character who shoots and the player character of the goalkeeper may correspond to a "game object". That is, the probability determination unit 120 may determine the goal probability based on the comparison result between the ability information of the player character who shoots and the ability information of the player character of the goalkeeper.

[3-4] The candidate setting unit 130 sets a plurality of candidates for the parameter setting information used when executing the game process from among a plurality of types of parameter setting information indicating the setting contents of one or a plurality of parameters. ..

"Setting a plurality of candidates for parameter setting information used when executing a game process from a plurality of types of parameter setting information" means, for example, when the number of "plurality of candidates" is n. For example, n parameter setting information is selected from a plurality of types of parameter setting information, and the n parameter setting information is set as "a plurality of candidates". In this case, the n parameter setting information may include a plurality of the same parameter setting information in duplicate. Further, the number (n) of the "plurality of candidates" may or may not be the same at all times.

The candidate setting unit 130 is a game process executed based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140 described later from among the plurality of candidates based on the basic probabilities associated with each of the plurality of types of parameter setting information. A plurality of candidates are set from a plurality of types of parameter setting information so that the probability that the result becomes a specific result corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120.

The "probability that the result of the game processing executed based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140 from a plurality of candidates becomes a specific result" is a probability as described below. For example, there are n multiple candidates for parameter setting information C1, C2, ..., Cn, and the basic probabilities associated with each of these candidates C1, C2, ..., Cn are PB1, PB2, respectively. , ..., PBn, and the probability that each of these candidates C1, C2, ..., Cn is selected by the selection unit 140 is PU1, PU2, ..., PUn, respectively, the above-mentioned "probability". Is "PU1 * PB1 + PU2 * PB2 + ... + PUn * PBn". When each of the candidates C1, C2, ..., Cn has the same probability of being selected by the selection unit 140, PU1, PU2, ..., PUn are "1 / n", respectively. In this case, the above "probability" is "(PB1 + PB2 + ... + PBn) / n".

"The probability that the result of the game processing executed based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140 from a plurality of candidates will be a specific result corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120. For example, "the probability that the result of the game processing executed based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140 from a plurality of candidates will be a specific result is determined by the probability determination unit 120". Make sure that the probability is equal to the probability. " In addition, "the probability that the result of the game processing executed based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140 from a plurality of candidates becomes a specific result corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120. The probability that the result of the game processing executed based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140 from among a plurality of candidates will be a specific result is determined by the probability determination unit 120. "Make it close to the probability" may be included. Here, the "probability close to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120" is the "probability that the difference from the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120 is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value".

Further, "the probability that the result of the game processing executed based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140 from a plurality of candidates becomes a specific result corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120. For example, "the probability that the result of the game processing executed based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140 from a plurality of candidates becomes a specific result is determined by the probability determination unit 120". It may mean "to be included in the value range based on the probability of being made". Here, the "value range based on the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120" is a value range including the value of the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120, and is, for example, "determined by the probability determination unit 120". It may be "a value range from a first value smaller than the probability value to a second value larger than the probability value determined by the probability determination unit 120", or "from the first value above. It may be "a value range up to the value of the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120" or "a value range from the value of the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120 to the second value". good.

In addition, "the probability that the result of the game processing executed based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140 from a plurality of candidates becomes a specific result corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120. In other words, "make sure that the sum of the basic probabilities associated with the parameter setting information set as a plurality of candidates corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120".

For example, there are n multiple candidates for parameter setting information C1, C2, ..., Cn, and the basic probabilities associated with each of these candidates C1, C2, ..., Cn are PB1, PB2, respectively. , ..., PBn, and when the probability that each of these candidates C1, C2, ..., Cn is selected by the selection unit 140 is PU1, PU2, ..., PUn, respectively, "a plurality of" The "sum of basic probabilities associated with the parameter setting information set as a candidate" is a weighted sum of basic probabilities such as "PU1 * PB1 + PU2 * PB2 + ... + PUn * PBn".

In this case, "so that the sum of the basic probabilities associated with the parameter setting information set as a plurality of candidates corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120" means that "the above" sum "determines the probability." Make sure that the value is equal to the probability determined by unit 120. " In addition, in "so that the sum of the basic probabilities associated with the parameter setting information set as a plurality of candidates corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120", the "sum" is the probability determination unit. It may include "to be close to the probability determined by 120". The "value close to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120" is "a value such that the difference from the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120 is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value".

Further, "so that the sum of the basic probabilities associated with the parameter setting information set as a plurality of candidates corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120" means, for example, that the above "sum" is a probability. It may mean "to be included in the value range based on the probability determined by the determination unit 120".

When each of the candidates C1, C2, ..., Cn has the same probability of being selected by the selection unit 140, PU1, PU2, ..., PUn are "1 / n", respectively. In this case, the "sum of the basic probabilities associated with the parameter setting information set as a plurality of candidates" is simply the sum of the basic probabilities such as PB1 + PB2 + ... + PBn.

In this case, "so that the sum of the basic probabilities associated with the parameter setting information set as a plurality of candidates corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120" means that "the above" sum "determines the probability." So that the value is equal to n times the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120 "or" (1 / n) times the above "sum" is equal to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120. It means "to." In addition, in "so that the sum of the basic probabilities associated with the parameter setting information set as a plurality of candidates corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120", the "sum" is the probability determination unit. Make sure that the value is close to n times the probability determined by 120 "or" (1 / n) times the above "sum" is close to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120. May be included. Here, "a value close to n times the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120" is "a value such that the difference from n times the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120 is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value". Is.

Further, "so that the sum of the basic probabilities associated with the parameter setting information set as a plurality of candidates corresponds to the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120" means that "the above" sum "corresponds to the probability determination unit". "Make it included in the value range based on n times the probability determined by 120", or "(1 / n) times the above" sum "is included in the value range based on the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120". It may mean "to be included". Here, the "value range based on n times the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120" is a value range including a value n times the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120, and is, for example, "probability determination". A value range from a first value smaller than n times the probability determined by the unit 120 to a second value greater than n times the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120. " It may be "a value range from the first value described above to a value n times the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120", or "n of the probability determined by the probability determination unit 120". It may be "a value range from a double value to the second value".

[3-4-1] For example, when the game process is a process related to a game object, the candidate setting unit 130 may set a plurality of candidates based on the game object.

Here, "setting a plurality of candidates based on a game object" means, for example, setting a plurality of candidates based on a parameter of a game object (for example, a performance parameter or the like).

Specifically, "setting a plurality of candidates based on a game object" means that, for example, at least one of a plurality of types of parameter setting information is set as a priority target based on the parameters of the game object. , The parameter setting information of the priority target is preferentially selected as a plurality of candidates over the parameter setting information other than the priority target, and a plurality of candidates are set from the plurality of types of parameter setting information.

In this case, for example, parameter setting information that matches the performance of the game object is set as the "priority target". Further, "so that the parameter setting information of the priority target is preferentially selected as a plurality of candidates over the parameter setting information other than the priority target" means, for example, "the parameter setting information of the priority target is selected as a candidate". The probability is higher than the probability that parameter setting information other than the priority target is selected as a candidate. " Or, "so that the parameter setting information of the priority target is preferentially set as a plurality of candidates" means, for example, "only the parameter setting information of the priority target is selected as a candidate and the parameter setting information other than the priority target". May mean "so that is not selected as a candidate".

[3-4-2] When the game process is a process related to the game object, the candidate setting unit 130 may set a plurality of candidates based on the user's instruction to the game object.

Here, "setting a plurality of candidates based on the user's instruction to the game object" means that at least one of a plurality of types of parameter setting information is set as a priority target based on the user's instruction. It is to set a plurality of candidates from a plurality of types of parameter setting information so that the parameter setting information of the priority target is preferentially selected as a plurality of candidates over the parameter setting information other than the priority target.

In this case, for example, the parameter setting information according to the user's instruction is set as the "priority target". Further, "so that the parameter setting information of the priority target is preferentially selected as a plurality of candidates over the parameter setting information other than the priority target" means, for example, "the parameter setting information of the priority target is selected as a candidate". The probability is higher than the probability that parameter setting information other than the priority target is selected as a candidate. " Or, "so that the parameter setting information of the priority target is preferentially selected as a plurality of candidates" means, for example, "only the parameter setting information of the priority target is selected as a candidate and the parameter setting information other than the priority target". May mean "so that is not selected as a candidate".

For example, in the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, 63 parameter setting information J1 to J63 indicating the setting contents of the hitting direction parameter, the hitting type parameter, and the hitting strength parameter shown in FIGS. It corresponds to an example of "parameter setting information", and the 100 candidates C1 to C100 shown in FIG. 5 correspond to an example of "plurality of candidates". That is, the candidate setting unit 130 sets 100 candidates C1 to C100 of the parameter setting information used when executing the impact processing from the parameter setting information J1 to J63.

At this time, the candidate setting unit 130 determines by the probability determination unit 120 the probability that the result of the impact processing executed based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140 from the candidates C1 to C100 will be a “hit”. Candidates C1 to C100 are set from the parameter setting information J1 to J63 so as to correspond to the hit probability.

Further, the candidate setting unit 130 sets candidates C1 to C100 based on the batter character's ability information (basic ability information or special ability information). That is, the candidate setting unit 130 sets the parameter setting information matching the ability of the batter character X1 among the parameter setting information J1 to J63 as the priority target, and sets the priority target parameter setting information as the parameter setting information other than the priority target. It is selected as candidates C1 to C100 with priority over. For example, when the "power" ability of the batter character X1 is higher than a predetermined standard, the hitting strength parameter is a predetermined value (for example, 6) or more. Parameter setting information J6, J7, J13, J14, J20, J21, J27, J28, J34, J35, J41, J42, J48, J49, J55, J56, J62, J63 are set as priority targets, and these parameter setting information is preferentially selected as candidates C1 to C100.

Further, the candidate setting unit 130 sets the candidates C1 to C100 based on the instruction to the batter character. That is, the candidate setting unit 130 preferentially selects the parameter setting information corresponding to the instruction to the batter character from the parameter setting information J1 to J63 as the candidates C1 to C100. That is, the candidate setting unit 130 sets the parameter setting information corresponding to the instruction to the batter character among the parameter setting information J1 to J63 as the priority target, and sets the priority target parameter setting information from the parameter setting information other than the priority target. Is also preferentially selected as candidates C1 to C100. For example, when the instruction to the batter character is "center return", the parameter setting information J22 to J42 whose hitting direction parameter is "medium" are set as priority targets, and these parameter setting information are set as candidates C1 to C100. Priority is given to selection.

Further, for example, in the case of a soccer game, the candidate setting unit 130 is selected from a plurality of types of parameter setting information indicating the setting contents of parameters related to shooting (for example, shooting direction parameter, shooting type parameter, shooting strength parameter, etc.). , Set multiple candidates for parameter setting information used when executing shoot processing.

[3-5] The selection unit 140 selects parameter setting information to be used when executing the game process from a plurality of candidates set by the candidate setting unit 130.

Here, "selecting parameter setting information used when executing a game process from a plurality of candidates" means, for example, that parameter setting information used when executing a game process is randomly selected from a plurality of candidates. Is to be elected. The probabilities that each candidate is selected may be equal or different.

For example, in the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the selection unit 140 uses any one of the 100 candidates C1 to C100 set by the candidate setting unit 130 as parameter setting information used when executing the batting process. elect. Further, for example, in the case of a soccer game, the selection unit 140 selects any one of the plurality of candidates set by the candidate setting unit 130 as parameter setting information to be used when executing the shoot process.

[3-6] The execution unit 150 executes the game process based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140.

As described above, the "game process" is a game process executed based on one or a plurality of parameters. Further, "execution of the game process based on the parameter setting information" means executing the game process in a state where one or a plurality of parameters are set to the setting contents indicated by the parameter setting information.

For example, in the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the execution unit 150 executes the hitting process based on the parameter setting information selected from the candidates C1 to C100 by the selection unit 140. For example, when the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140 is the parameter setting information J5, the execution unit 150 sets the hitting direction parameter, the hitting type parameter, and the hitting strength parameter to “right”, “fly”, and hitting strength parameters, respectively. Execution of processing to move the hit ball in the state set to "5", to have the player character on the defensive side defend the ball, or to have the batter character (and the runner character) run the base based on the hit ball. do. In this case, the player character, the batter character, and the runner character on the defensive side perform defense and base running under the operation of the computer.

Further, for example, in the case of a soccer game, the execution unit 150 executes the shooting process based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140. For example, the execution unit 150 executes the shoot process in a state where the shoot direction parameter, the shoot type parameter, or the shoot strength parameter is set based on the parameter setting information selected by the selection unit 140. That is, the execution unit 150 executes a process of moving the shot ball or causing a player character on the defensive side (a player character of a goalkeeper or the like) to defend based on the movement of the ball.

[4. Process] Next, a process executed by the game device 10 in order to realize the functional block described above will be described.

FIG. 9 shows the case where any one of the elements E281 to E289 of the instruction image G20 is selected at the time of the attack of the user team in the above-mentioned baseball game, or the time limit has expired, and the batter An example of the processing executed when it is determined that the hit ball of the character flies to the fair zone is shown. When the control unit 11 executes the process shown in FIG. 9 according to the program, the control unit 11 functions as a functional block (excluding the data storage unit 100) shown in FIG. 7.

As shown in FIG. 9, first, the control unit 11 acquires an instruction to the batter character (S100). For example, when any one of the elements E281 to E288 of the instruction image G20 is selected by the user, the control unit 11 acquires the instruction corresponding to the element as the instruction to the batter character. On the other hand, when the element E289 is selected by the user, or when the time limit has expired, the control unit 11 selects one of the instructions corresponding to the elements E281 to E288, and gives the instruction to the batter character. Get as.

After the execution of step S100, the control unit 11 determines the hit probability PH (S102).

The control unit 11 determines the hit probability PH based on the batter character's ability information (basic ability information or special ability information). The control unit 11 determines the hit probability PH so that when the batter character's ability is high, the hit probability PH is higher than when the batter character's ability is low. For example, the control unit 11 determines the hit probability PH so that when the batter character's "meat" ability is high, the hit probability PH is higher than when the batter character's "meat" ability is low.

Alternatively, the control unit 11 may determine the hit probability PH based on the ability information of the batter character and the ability information of the pitcher character. For example, the control unit 11 sets the hit probability PH to be higher when the hitting force of the batter character is higher than the pitching force of the pitcher character, as compared with the case where the hitting force of the batter character is lower than the pitcher force of the pitcher character. The hit probability PH may be determined.

After the execution of step S102, the control unit 11 sets the probabilities PC1 to PC63 selected as the candidates C1 to C100 for each of the parameter setting information J1 to J63 (S104).

For example, the control unit 11 determines the probabilities PC1 to PC63 based on the instruction to the batter character. That is, the control unit 11 raises the probability PC of the parameter setting information corresponding to the instruction to the batter character. Alternatively, the control unit 11 may lower the probability PC of the parameter setting information contrary to the instruction to the batter character.

Specifically, when the instruction to the batter character is "center return", the control unit 11 uses the probabilities PC22 to PC42 of the parameter setting information J22 to J42 in which the hitting direction parameter is "medium" as the reference probability (normal). Probability: Set to a higher probability than, for example, 1/63). Alternatively, the control unit 11 may set the parameter setting information J1 to J21 and J43 to J63 whose hitting direction parameter is “right” or “left” to a probability lower than the reference probability.

Further, when the instruction to the batter character is "full swing", the control unit 11 has the parameter setting information J6, J7, J13, J14, J20, J21 in which the hitting strength parameter is a predetermined value (for example, 6) or more. , J27, J28, J34, J35, J41, J42, J48, J49, J55, J56, J62, J63 probabilities PC6, PC7, PC13, PC14, PC20, PC21, PC27, PC28, PC34, PC35, PC41, PC42, PC48, PC49, PC55, PC56, PC62, and PC63 are set to a probability higher than the reference probability. Alternatively, the control unit 11 has parameter setting information J1, J2, J8, J9, J15, J16, J22, J23, J29, J30, J36, J37, J43, in which the hitting strength parameter is equal to or less than a predetermined value (for example, 2). Probability of J44, J50, J51, J57, J58 PC1, PC2, PC8, PC9, PC15, PC16, PC22, PC23, PC29, PC30, PC36, PC37, PC43, PC44, PC50, PC51, PC57, PC58 from the reference probability May be set to a low probability.

Further, for example, the control unit 11 determines the probabilities PC1 to PC63 based on the ability information of the batter character. That is, the control unit 11 raises the probability PC of the parameter setting information that matches the ability of the batter character. Alternatively, the control unit 11 may lower the probability PC of the parameter setting information that does not match the ability of the batter character.

Specifically, when the "power" ability of the batter character is high, the control unit 11 determines the parameter setting information J6, J7, J13, J14, J20, in which the hitting strength parameter is a predetermined value (for example, 6) or more. Probabilities of J21, J27, J28, J34, J35, J41, J42, J48, J49, J55, J56, J62, J63 PC6, PC7, PC13, PC14, PC20, PC21, PC27, PC28, PC34, PC35, PC41, PC42 , PC48, PC49, PC55, PC56, PC62, PC63 are set to a probability higher than the reference probability. Alternatively, the control unit 11 has parameter setting information J1, J2, J8, J9, J15, J16, J22, J23, J29, J30, J36, J37, J43, in which the hitting strength parameter is equal to or less than a predetermined value (for example, 2). Probability of J44, J50, J51, J57, J58 PC1, PC2, PC8, PC9, PC15, PC16, PC22, PC23, PC29, PC30, PC36, PC37, PC43, PC44, PC50, PC51, PC57, PC58 from the reference probability May be set to a low probability.

Alternatively, when the batter character X1 has a high "ballistic" ability, the control unit 11 determines that the probability of the parameter setting information J1 to J7, J22 to J28, and J43 to J49 for which the hitting type parameter is "fly" PC1 to PC7, PC22 to PC28 and PC43 to PC49 are set to a higher probability than the reference probability. Alternatively, the control unit 11 has a probability that the parameter setting information J8 to J14, J29 to J35, and J50 to J56 whose hitting type parameter is "ground ball" is lower than the reference probability of PC8 to PC14, PC29 to PC35, and PC50 to PC56. May be set to.

Further, for example, the control unit 11 may determine the probabilities PC1 to PC63 based on the instruction to the pitcher character. That is, the control unit 11 may increase the probability PC of the parameter setting information corresponding to the instruction to the pitcher character. Specifically, for example, when the instruction to the pitcher character is "low game", the control unit 11 has parameter setting information J8 to J14, J29 to J35, J50 to J56 in which the hitting type parameter is "ground ball". Probability of PC8 to PC14, PC29 to PC35, and PC50 to PC56 may be set to a higher probability than the reference probability.

Further, for example, the control unit 11 may determine the probabilities PC1 to PC63 based on the ability information of the pitcher character. That is, the control unit 11 may increase the probability PC of the parameter setting information suitable for the ability of the pitcher character. Specifically, for example, when the pitcher character has a special ability to hit a ground ball, the control unit 11 has parameter setting information J8 to J14, J29 to J35 in which the hitting type parameter is “ground ball”. , J50 to J56 probabilities PC8 to PC14, PC29 to PC35, and PC50 to PC56 may be set to a higher probability than the reference probability.

The control unit 11 determines the probabilities PC1 to PC63 based on at least two of the instruction to the batter character, the ability information of the batter character, the instruction to the pitcher character, and the ability information of the pitcher character. May be good. Specifically, for example, when the batter character is a right-handed batter and the instruction to the batter character is "opposite field", the control unit 11 has the parameter setting information J1 in which the hitting direction parameter is "right". -J21 probabilities PC1 to PC21 may be set to a first probability higher than the reference probability. In this case, if the batter character has a special ability "opposite field" capable of skillfully performing an opposite field, the control unit 11 has parameter setting information J1 to "right" in which the hitting direction parameter is "right". Probabilities of J21 PC1 to PC21 may be set to a second probability higher than the first probability.

After the execution of step S104, the control unit 11 sets each of the 100 candidates C1 to C100 as candidates for the parameter setting information used in the impact processing from the parameter setting information J1 to J63 (S106).

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing an example of the process (candidate setting process) of step S106. As shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 11 initializes the variable PBsum to 0 (S10600) and initializes the variable i to 1 (S10602). The variable PBsum is used to hold the sum of the basic probabilities of the parameter setting information selected as the candidates C1 to Ci.

The control unit 11 determines whether or not the variable PBsum is (PH * (i-1)) or less (S10604). Here, "PH" is the hit probability determined in step S102. When the variable PBsum is (PH * (i-1)) or less (S10604: Yes), the control unit 11 selects the i-th candidate Ci from among the parameter setting information whose basic probability is higher than the hit probability PH. One of them is selected (S10606). For example, when the hit probability is "0.31", the control unit 11 has the parameter setting information J6, J7, J14, J19 to J21, J27, J28, J34 whose basic probability is higher than "0.31". , J35, J39 to J42, J48, J49, J56, J61 to J63, and one of them is selected as the i-th candidate Ci.

On the other hand, when the variable PBsum is larger than (PH * (i-1)) (S10604: No), the control unit 11 sets a parameter whose basic probability is lower than the hit probability PH as the i-th candidate Ci. One of the information is selected (S10608). For example, when the hit probability is "0.31", the control unit 11 has parameter setting information J1 to J5, J8 to J13, J15 to J18, J22 to J26 whose basic probability is lower than "0.31". , J29 to J33, J36 to J38, J43 to J47, J50 to J55, and J57 to J60 are selected as the i-th candidate Ci.

After executing step S10606 or S10608,
The control unit 11 acquires the basic probability PBi associated with the parameter setting information selected as the candidate Ci (S10610), and adds PBi to the variable PBsum (S10612). Further, the control unit 11 adds 1 to the variable i (S10614) and determines whether or not the variable i is larger than 100 (S10616). Again, "100" is the total number of candidates to be selected in this process.

Here, the case where the variable i is not larger than 100 (S10616: No) is a case where 100 candidates C1 to C100 have not been selected. In this case, the control unit 11 re-executes step S10604. On the other hand, the case where the variable i is larger than 100 (S10616: Yes) is the case where 100 candidates C1 to C100 have been selected. In this case, the control unit 11 ends this process and executes step S108 described later.

The process of step S106 (candidate setting process) is not limited to the process shown in FIG. For example, it is determined whether or not the sum of the basic probabilities of the candidates C1 to Ci exceeds the multiplication value of the hit probability (PH) and the total number of candidates (100), and the sum of the basic probabilities of the candidates C1 to Ci is the multiplication value. If it exceeds, the parameter setting information whose basic probability is "0" may be selected as candidates C (i + 1) to C100.

Further, for example, in the process shown in FIG. 10, as a result of executing steps S10604 to S10608, the sum of the basic probabilities of the candidates C1 to C100 converges to a value equal to or close to the multiplication value, and the candidates C1 to C100 are used. Is set, but candidates C1 to C100 may be set so that the sum of the basic probabilities of the candidates C1 to C100 is equal to the multiplication value. Specifically, for example, it is determined whether or not the sum of the basic probabilities of the candidates C1 to Ci exceeds the multiplication value, and if the sum exceeds the multiplication value, the candidate Ci is discarded and the multiplication is performed. The difference between the value and the sum of the basic probabilities of the candidates C1 to C (i-1) is calculated, the parameter setting information having the difference as the basic probability is reselected as the candidate Ci, and the parameter whose basic probability is "0". The setting information may be selected as candidates C (i + 1) to C100.

As shown in FIG. 9, after the execution of step S106 (process shown in FIG. 10), the control unit 11 selects any one of the candidates C1 to C100 set in step S106 (S108). The control unit 11 randomly selects any one of the candidates C1 to C100. In this case, the probabilities that each of the candidates C1 to C100 are selected are set to the same probability (1/100).

After the execution of step S108, the control unit 11 executes the impact processing based on the parameter setting information selected in step S108 (S110). For example, when the parameter setting information selected in step S108 is the parameter setting information J5, the control unit 11 sets the hitting direction parameter, the hitting type parameter, and the hitting strength parameter to “right”, “fly”, and hitting strength, respectively. The batter character's hit ball is moved in the state set to "5", the batter character (and the runner character) is made to run the base based on the hit ball, and the batter character (and the runner character) is made to defend. ..

[5. Summary] According to the game apparatus 10 described above, the hitting process is executed based on the parameter setting information selected from the parameter setting information candidates C1 to C100 used when the hitting process is executed. In this case, the hit probability that the result of the hitting process becomes a "hit" is the basic probability associated with the parameter setting information, so the hitting process is executed so that the result of the hitting process becomes a "hit". Therefore, it becomes difficult for the user to predict whether or not the result of the hitting process will be a "hit". Further, according to the game device 10, the probability that the result of the hitting process executed based on the parameter setting information selected from the candidates C1 to C100 for the candidates C1 to C100 becomes a "hit" is determined in advance. Since it is set so as to correspond to the probability, it is possible to make the result of the hitting process a "hit" with a probability equal to or close to the predetermined hit probability. Therefore, according to the game device 10, it is possible to improve the difficulty in predicting the result of the hitting process while trying to make the result of the hitting process a “hit” with a probability equal to or close to the predetermined hit probability. It will be possible.

Further, according to the game device 10, since the hit probability is determined based on the batter character, the ability of the batter character and the like can be reflected in the hit probability.

Further, according to the game device 10, since the candidates C1 to C100 of the parameter setting information used when executing the hitting process are set based on the batter character, the candidates C1 to C100 reflect the ability of the batter character and the like. Can be set.

Further, according to the game device 10, since the candidates C1 to C100 of the parameter setting information used when executing the hitting process are set based on the instructions to the batter character, the instructions to the batter character are reflected as the candidates C1 to C100. Can be set.

Further, according to the game apparatus 10, for example, the basic probability PB5 of the parameter setting information J5 is the result of the hitting process when the hitting process is executed a plurality of times (for example, 100 times or 1000 times) based on the parameter setting information J5. Since the setting is based on the number of "hits" or the ratio, the accuracy of the basic probability can be improved.

[6. Modifications] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above.

[6-1] The probability determination unit 120 determines the probability that the result of the game processing executed based on one or a plurality of parameters will be a specific result, based on the result of the game processing executed in the past. May be good.

Here, the "result of the game process executed in the past" may be the result of the game process executed within the specific period in the past, or the game process executed in the entire past period. It may be the result.

The "past specific period" may be the result of game processing executed within the period from the predetermined time point in the past to the present, or within the period from the first time point in the past to the second time point in the past. It may be the result of executed game processing.

"Determining the probability based on the result of the game processing executed in the past" means, for example, the probability determined based on the usual decision rule (normal probability) and the result of the game processing executed in the past. Compares with the probability that the result of the game processing executed in the past has become a specific result (actual probability) acquired based on, and the result of the game processing becomes a specific result based on the comparison result. It is to determine the probability. Specifically, when the actual probability is higher than the normal probability, the probability lower than the normal probability is determined as the probability that the result of the game processing becomes a specific result, and when the actual probability is lower than the normal probability. Is to determine a probability higher than the normal probability as the probability that the result of the game processing will be a specific result.

Further, for example, when the result of the game processing executed last time is a specific result, a probability lower than the normal probability is determined as the probability that the result of the game processing becomes a specific result, and the game executed last time is determined. If the result of the process is not a specific result, a probability higher than the normal probability may be determined as the probability that the result of the game process will be a specific result.

Further, for example, when the result of the game processing becomes a specific result multiple times in a row, a probability lower than the normal probability is determined as the probability that the result of the game processing becomes a specific result, and the game is played multiple times in a row. If the result of the processing is not a specific result, a probability higher than the normal probability may be determined as the probability that the result of the game processing will be a specific result.

For example, in the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the batter character's performance (normal hit probability) in a game played in the past is compared with the hit probability (normal hit probability) determined according to the normal determination rule based on the batter character's ability information. When the batting average) is low and the difference is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the probability determining unit 120 determines the hit probability to be higher than the normal hit probability. On the other hand, the hit probability (batting average) of the batter character in the past games is higher than the hit probability (normal hit probability) determined according to the normal determination rule based on the batter character's ability information, and When the difference is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the probability determining unit 120 determines the hit probability to be lower than the normal hit probability.

By doing so, in order to determine the probability that the result of the game processing will be a specific result based on the result of the game processing executed in the past, the result of the game processing executed in the past is taken into consideration. You can determine the probability that the result of the game processing will be a specific result. For example, if the result of a game process executed in the past has a high probability of having a specific result, the probability that the result of the game process will have a specific result is lower than usual, or a game executed in the past. When the probability that the result of the processing becomes a specific result is low, the probability that the result of the game processing becomes a specific result can be made higher than usual.

The game system 1A shown in FIG. 11 includes a game server 30A (an example of a game control device) and a game device 10A. The game server 30A and the game device 10A are connected to the network N. Therefore, data communication is possible between the game server 30A and the game device 10A. Since the game device 10A has the same configuration as the game device 10 shown in FIG. 1, the description thereof is omitted here.

The game server 30A is realized by, for example, a server computer. As shown in FIG. 11, the game server 30A includes a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a communication unit 33. The control unit 31, the storage unit 32, and the communication unit 33 are the same as the control unit 11, the storage unit 12, and the communication unit 14 shown in FIG. The game server 30A can access the database DB. The database DB may be built in the game server 30A, or may be built in another server computer.

Also in the game system 1A, a functional block similar to the functional block shown in FIG. 7 is realized. In this case, all of the functional blocks may be realized by the game server 30A (control unit 31). Alternatively, a part of the functional block may be realized by the game server 30A (control unit 31), and the rest may be realized by the game device 10A (control unit 11).

[6-3] The basic probability associated with the parameter setting information may be set based on the result of the game processing executed based on the parameter setting information in each game device 10 of the plurality of users.

For example, in the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the game server 30A or the like collects the results of the hitting process executed based on the parameter setting information J63 on each of the game devices 10 of the plurality of users, and based on the collected results, The basic probability PB63 of the parameter setting information J63 may be set (reviewed). The basic probabilities PB1 to PB62 of the parameter setting information J1 to J62 may be set (reviewed) in the same manner.

Further, the present invention can be applied to games other than sports games. The present invention can be applied to various games in which the probability that the result of the game processing becomes a specific result is controlled to be a predetermined probability (or a probability close to the probability). For example, the present invention is a tennis game in which a shot process is executed so that the probability that the result of a shot of a player character becomes a specific result (for example, success or great success) is equal to or close to a predetermined probability. Or it can be applied to golf games. Further, for example, in the present invention, the probability that the result of an attack process in which a game character attacks another game character is a specific result (for example, success or great success) is equal to or close to a predetermined probability. It can also be applied to games that execute attack processing.
