Description

The present invention relates to a computer system that executes a given game.

A popular genre of video games is the action game. Some action games have a player character using an item that "pierces" a target, such as an arrow or a spear. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a game in which the player character uses an "arrow."

JP 2012-239761 A

Action games, particularly those in which you attack enemy characters with items that "stab" them, are popular because they allow players to enjoy a simulated "hunt." In order to heighten the interest of the simulated "hunt" and appeal to consumers, new game technology is needed that can provide visual expressions and thrills that make players feel as if they are actually hunting.

The problem this invention aims to solve is to provide new technology for games that use "piercing" items.

A first invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a computer system for controlling execution of a game in which a given moving object is stabbed into a given target based on a movement instruction operation by a player, the computer system comprising:
a movement control means (e.g., the server processing unit 200s, the game management unit 210, the movement control unit 214 in FIG. 13, step S14(2) in FIG. 19) for determining a movement parameter value related to the movement of the moving object based on the movement instruction operation and controlling the movement of the moving object using the movement parameter value;
a sticking determination means (e.g., the server processing unit 200s, the game management unit 210, and the sticking determination unit 216 in FIG. 13, steps S50 to S56 in FIG. 19) for determining a hit situation including at least a hit angle when the moving object hits the target, and for determining whether the moving object has stuck to the target using the hit situation and a parameter value set for the moving object;
a display mode control means (e.g., the server processing unit 200s, the game management unit 210, and the display mode control unit 218 in FIG. 13, steps S60 to S64 in FIG. 20) for controlling a display of a state in which the moving object has been stuck in the target object, in a display mode corresponding to a result of the determination by the sticking determination means, at a position where the moving object has hit the target object;
A computer system comprising:

The "computer system" referred to here can refer to a single computer, or it can be realized by multiple computers working together.

In the game realized in the first invention, the player can control the movement of a moving object. When the moving object hits an object, the hit situation, including the hit angle, is determined, and depending on the type of moving object, it is determined whether the moving object will pierce the object. If it does pierce the object, the state in which the moving object pierces the object is displayed on the game screen in a display mode according to the result of the determination.

This provides a new technology that enriches the image representation of the hunt and makes it more interesting in games that use "sticking" items. In addition, the display form changes depending on the result of the sticking judgment, so it gives the impression that the moving object is "sticking" into the target.

The second invention is the computer system of the first invention, in which the penetration determination means determines the penetration depth, and the display mode control means changes the display mode in accordance with the depth.

According to the second invention, the depth of the piercing is determined in conjunction with the determination of whether or not the object will pierce. The display mode of the moving object is then changed according to the depth. This allows a more realistic depiction of the piercing, making the game more appealing.

The third invention is a computer system according to the first invention, in which the penetration determination means determines a hit power value using the hit situation and the type of the moving object, and determines whether the moving object penetrates the target object using the hit power value, and the display mode control means changes the display mode according to the hit power value.

The fourth invention is a computer system according to the third invention, in which the penetration determination means determines the penetration depth using the hit status or the hit power value, and the display mode control means changes the display mode according to the depth.

The "hit power value" is a control parameter value that indicates the strength of the "pierce."
According to the third or fourth aspect of the present invention, a hit power value is determined based on the hit situation and the type of moving object, and whether or not the ball will hit is determined based on the hit power value. Then, a display mode according to the hit power value is applied. In other words, not only whether or not the ball will hit, but also the representation of the hit state on the game screen when it is determined that the ball will hit can be more precisely controlled using the hit power value, and a "stick" that looks "realistic" can be expressed.

The fifth invention is a computer system according to the third or fourth invention, in which the movement parameter value includes a speed parameter value indicating a movement speed or a movement acceleration, and the hit determination means determines the hit power value to be larger when the speed parameter value satisfies a second speed condition that is a threshold condition faster than the first speed condition, compared to when only the first speed condition is satisfied.

In the game realized by the fifth invention, the higher the moving speed and acceleration of the moving object, and the faster the moving object, the higher the hit power value is set. As a result, the expression of how the moving object is pierced is correlated with the apparent speed of the moving object while it is moving, making it possible to express a more natural and realistic piercing state.

A sixth invention is a computer system according to the fifth invention, in which the game is a game in which the player controls a player character equipped with the moving object, and the movement control means determines the speed parameter value using the movement speed or movement acceleration of the player character moving in the game space.

According to the sixth invention, a game can be realized in which the player character uses a moving object.

A seventh invention is a computer system according to any one of the first to sixth inventions, in which the game is a game in which the player operates a player character that moves the moving object, and the stab determination means performs the stab determination further using parameter values set for the player character.

According to the seventh invention, a hit determination can be made based on the parameter values of the player character.

The eighth invention is a computer system according to any one of the first to seventh inventions, further comprising a sticking state change control means (e.g., the server processing unit 200s, game management unit 210, sticking state change control unit 220 in FIG. 13, steps S80 to S82 in FIG. 20) that changes the sticking state of the moving object based on the player's state change operation.

The ninth invention is a computer system according to the eighth invention, in which the sticking state change control means changes the depth to which the moving object is stuck.

The tenth invention is a computer system according to the ninth invention, in which the state change operation includes an operation to decrease the depth or set the depth to zero (not inserted), and an operation to stab the moving object again.

According to any of the eighth to tenth inventions, the player can change the state of a moving object that is already stuck by performing a state change operation. This realizes a new game in which the player can play not only with the objective of simply sticking a "stick" item, but also with the objective of using a moving object that is already stuck.

An eleventh invention is a computer system according to any one of the first to tenth inventions, further comprising a first damage inflicting control means (e.g., the server processing unit 200s, game management unit 210, damage control unit 222 in FIG. 13, step S100 in FIG. 20) in which the target is an object to be attacked and damage is gradually inflicted on the target depending on the time that the moving object is stuck in the target.

The twelfth invention is a computer system according to the second, fourth, ninth or tenth invention, further comprising a first damage inflicting control means for gradually inflicting damage according to the depth to the target object as time passes during which the moving object is stabbed, the target object being an object to be attacked.

A thirteenth invention is a computer system according to any one of the third to sixth inventions, further comprising a first damage inflicting control means for gradually inflicting damage to the target object according to the hit power value as time passes during which the moving object is pierced.

In a game realized by any one of the eleventh to thirteenth inventions, a player can attack an object with a moving object. Then, damage can be inflicted on the object according to the elapsed time since the moving object struck the object. This can further increase the interest of the game.

The fourteenth invention is a computer system according to the second, fourth, ninth, tenth or twelfth invention, further comprising a second damage inflicting control means (e.g., the server processing unit 200s, game management unit 210, damage control unit 222 in FIG. 13, step S66 in FIG. 20) in which the target is an object to be attacked, the moving object has attributes set for each part according to the depth at which it penetrates the target, and inflicts damage to the target based on the attributes of the part of the moving object according to the depth.

In the game realized by the fourteenth invention, the player can attack an object with a moving object. The player can then inflict damage on the object according to how far the moving object penetrates, that is, damage with a depth-correlated attribute. This can make the game even more interesting.

The fifteenth invention is a computer system according to any one of the first to fourteenth inventions, in which attributes are defined for each part of the target, and the piercing determination means determines the hit part where the moving object has been hit, and determines whether the moving object will pierce the target using the attributes of the hit part.

In the game realized by the fifteenth invention, it is possible to change whether or not the moving object pierces the target depending on which part of the target it hits. This adds a tactical element, such as deciding where to aim on the target, making the game more interesting.

The sixteenth invention is a computer system according to any one of the first to fifteenth inventions, further comprising a status display control means (e.g., the server processing unit 200s, game management unit 210, status display control unit 224 in FIG. 13, step S14 (7) in FIG. 19) for displaying a status regarding the moving object in the stuck state.

In the game realized by the sixteenth invention, information about moving objects that have already been stuck can be notified to the player through a status display. Therefore, by referring to the status display, the player can have fun devising playing tactics, such as how to combine the type of moving object and the part of the object that has been stuck to achieve a better score.

The seventeenth invention is a computer system according to any one of the first to sixteenth inventions, in which the display mode control means eliminates the stuck state and displays the moving object as if it had disappeared, based on a given lifespan set for the moving object in the stuck state.

In the game realized by the seventeenth invention, a moving object that is stuck in a target is not maintained in that state permanently, but is released from the stuck state when its lifespan expires. The stuck moving object is then depicted as disappearing by being pulled out, dissipating into mist, exploding and disappearing, melting, or the like. This makes it possible to prevent problems such as a moving object already stuck getting in the way of a new moving object being stuck, the visibility of the target being reduced due to a large number of moving objects being stuck, and unnecessary increases in the load on the calculation process.

The eighteenth invention is the computer system of the seventeenth invention, further comprising a lifespan control means (e.g., the lifespan control unit 228 in FIG. 13, the initial lifespan 536 in FIG. 12, the applied lifespan 836 in FIG. 17, step S68 in FIG. 20) for controlling the lifespan of the moving object in the stuck state based on the depth to which the moving object is stuck.

According to the eighteenth invention, the lifespan of a moving object that is stuck in the hole can be changed according to the depth of the hole. For example, it is possible to express a state in which the deeper the object is stuck, the harder it is to remove (the longer the lifespan).

A nineteenth aspect of the present invention is a method for playing a game according to the present invention, wherein the moving object is an object that flies in the game space,
the movement instruction operation is an operation of releasing the moving object,
an aim display control means (e.g., the server processing unit 200s, the game management unit 210, the aim display control unit 226 in FIG. 13, step S14 (6) in FIG. 19) for displaying and controlling an aim to be a destination of the moving object, the aim display control means being configured to display and control the aim with an aim error corresponding to the parameter value of the moving object;
The computer system of any one of the first to eighteenth aspects of the present invention further comprises:

According to the 19th invention, a game can be realized in which a moving object is thrown at a target and stabbed while a target is displayed to support the player. Furthermore, since the aiming error according to the parameter values (e.g., type and performance value) set for the moving object is taken into consideration, a tactical element is added in which a moving object is selected depending on where on the target the object is aimed, and the game becomes more interesting.

The twentieth invention is a game system in which the player terminal of the player and a server system, which is a computer system according to any one of the first to nineteenth inventions, are communicatively connected.

The twenty-first invention is a program for causing a computer system to control the execution of a game in which a given moving object is stabbed into a given target based on a player's movement instruction operation, the program causing the computer system to function as: a movement control means for determining a movement parameter value relating to the movement of the moving object based on the movement instruction operation and controlling the movement of the moving object using the movement parameter value; a sticking determination means for determining a hit situation including at least a hit angle when the moving object hits the target and determining whether the moving object has stuck into the target using the hit situation and a parameter value set for the moving object; and a display mode control means for controlling the display of the moving object stabbing state in which the moving object has stuck into the target at the position where the target was hit in a display mode according to the determination result of the sticking determination means when the sticking determination means determines that the moving object has stuck.

According to the twentieth or twenty-first invention, the same effect as the first invention can be obtained.

Below, examples of embodiments of the present invention are described, but it goes without saying that the forms to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the following embodiments. In addition, "movement speed" and "movement acceleration" in the description are described as scalar values. Of course, the movement speed and movement acceleration can be treated as vectors in internal processing, and the magnitude of the vector (scalar value) can be used depending on the situation.

First, an example of the hardware configuration will be described.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a game system.
The game system 1000 includes a server system 1100 and player terminals 1500 (1500a, 1500b, ...) which are connected to each other so that data communication is possible via a network 9. Although four player terminals 1500 (1500a, 1500b, ...) are illustrated in Fig. 1, in actual system operation, many more player terminals 1500 can access the server system 1100.

The game system 1000 is a computer system that provides online games to players who are users of the player terminals 1500. Of course, the game system 1000 may provide other services in addition to providing online games.

The network 9 refers to a communication path that allows data communication. In other words, the network 9 includes a dedicated line (dedicated cable) for direct connection, a LAN (Local Area Network) such as Ethernet (registered trademark), a telephone communication network, a cable network, the Internet, and other communication networks, and the communication method can be either wired or wireless.

The server system 1100 is a computer system having, for example, a main device 1101, a keyboard 1106, a touch panel 1108 that functions as an image display device and a contact position input device, and storage 1140, and is equipped with a control board 1150 on the main device 1101.

The control board 1150 is equipped with various microprocessors such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 1151, a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), various IC memories 1152 such as a VRAM, RAM, and ROM, and a communication device 1153. Note that a part or the whole of the control board 1150 may be realized by an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), or a SoC (System on a Chip).

The server system 1100 realizes a user management function that manages information related to user registration, etc., and a game management function that controls the progress of the game, by the control board 1150 performing calculations based on a predetermined program and data. In other words, the server system 1100 functions as a game server that provides a kind of client-server type online game.

Although server system 1100 is depicted as if it were a single server device, it may be realized by a configuration of multiple devices. For example, server system 1100 may be configured to include multiple blade servers each sharing a function, connected to each other via an internal bus for data communication. Furthermore, the location of the hardware constituting server system 1100 does not matter. It may be configured such that multiple independent servers installed in remote locations communicate data over network 9 to function as server system 1100 as a whole.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing an example of the configuration of the player terminal 1500. As shown in FIG.
The player terminal 1500 is a computer system that is used by a user who has completed a registration procedure to utilize the game system 1000 of this embodiment, and is an electronic device that can access the server system 1100 via the network 9. In other words, the player terminal 1500 is an operation terminal that is used by the user to play a game, and serves as a game machine.

The player terminal 1500 shown in FIG. 2 is a device known as a smartphone, but any computer may be used, such as a wearable computer such as a smart watch or smart glasses, a portable game device, a tablet computer, or a personal computer. When multiple electronic devices are communicatively connected to perform a single function, such as a combination of a smartphone and a smart watch communicatively connected to the smartphone, these multiple electronic devices can be considered as a single player terminal 1500.

The player terminal 1500 is equipped with a directional input key 1502, button switches 1504, a touch panel 1506 that functions as an image display device and a contact position input device, an internal battery 1509, a speaker 1510, a microphone 1512, a camera 1520, a control board 1550, and a memory card reader 1542 that can read and write data from a memory card 1540, which is a computer-readable storage medium. In addition, a power button, a volume control button, etc., which are not shown, are provided. In addition, an IC card reader that can read and write data contactlessly from IC card-type credit cards and prepaid cards that can be used to pay for the use of the game system 1000, etc., may be provided.

The control board 1550 is equipped with (1) a CPU 1551 and various microprocessors such as a GPU and a DSP, (2) various IC memories 1552 such as a VRAM, a RAM, and a ROM, (3) a wireless communication module 1553 for wireless communication with a mobile phone base station or a wireless LAN base station connected to the network 9, and (4) an interface circuit 1557.

The interface circuit 1557 includes (1) a driver circuit for the touch panel 1506, (2) a circuit for receiving signals from the directional input keys 1502 and the button switches 1504, (3) an output amplifier circuit for outputting audio signals to the speaker 1510, (4) an input signal generation circuit for generating an audio signal collected by the microphone 1512, (5) a circuit for inputting image data of an image captured by the camera 1520, and (6) a signal input/output circuit for the memory card reader 1542.

These elements mounted on the control board 1550 are electrically connected via a bus circuit or the like, and are connected so that data can be read and written and signals can be sent and received. A part or all of the control board 1550 may be configured using an ASIC, FPGA, or SoC. The control board 1550 stores programs and various data for realizing the functions of a player terminal in the IC memory 1552.

In this embodiment, the player terminal 1500 is configured to download programs and various setting data from the server system 1100, but it may also be configured to read them from a storage medium such as a memory card 1540 obtained separately.

Next, the game will be described.
3 is a diagram for explaining the game. The online game provided by the game system 1000 is an action game in which the player controls a player character 2 to attack and defeat an enemy character 8, which is an NPC (Non Player Character).

The player character 2 is equipped with a spear 4 and is riding on a sub-character 6. When a movement operation is performed on the player terminal 1500, the player character 2 moves within the game space.
The player character 2 then charges at the enemy character 8 with the spear 4 at the ready, stabbing the enemy character 8 with the spear 4 to launch a direct attack. The player character 2 can also throw the spear 4 to fly through the game space and launch a long-distance attack. In other words, the spear 4 is a moving object that can fly through the game space, and the enemy character 8 is an object that serves as a target for "stabbing" the moving object.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the spear 4 equipped on the player character 2. As shown in FIG.
Before starting the game, the player can equip the player character 2 with multiple types of spears 4 (4a, 4b, ...) and switch the spear 4 to be used during the game. The spears 4 may be of different types, with different weights, different special effects, etc., even if they have the same appearance. The spears 4 that can be equipped can be obtained by separately purchasing them through online shopping, or by acquiring them as bonuses or loot related to game play. The spear 4 to be used can be switched by inputting a predetermined calling operation to display a selection screen 10 as shown in FIG. 4, and inputting a predetermined selection operation. The type, design, number of spears 4 that can be equipped, number of spears 4 that can be used at one time, etc. can be set as appropriate.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a direct attack.
Switching between a direct attack and a long-distance attack is performed by a predetermined attack switching operation. When a direct attack is selected, the player character 2 holds a spear 4. The player moves the player character 2 so as to hit the enemy character 8 directly, and stabs the enemy character 8 with the spear 4. The posture in which the player character 2 holds the spear 4 (in other words, the posture of the held spear 4; the relative posture with respect to the player character 2) can be changed by a predetermined posture change operation.

If a direct attack is selected, a direct attack crosshair 20 (20a) is displayed.
The direct attack sight 20 (20a) has a first type reticle 21, an error range display 25, and a cooperation range display 27. The sight 20 (20a) is a planar figure drawn on a primitive surface whose normal faces the player character 2.

The first type reticle 21 is a display that shows the predicted position where the spear 4 will be stabbed, and extends an imaginary straight line the height of the tip of the spear 4 (height from the ground in the game space) in the direction the spear 4 is pointing, and is displayed at the position where this line intersects with the enemy character 8.

The error range display 25 shows the error range of the position indicated by the first type reticle 21. The error range is determined by the type of spear 4. It is preset so that a lighter and slimmer spear 4 is easier to aim and has a smaller error, whereas a heavier spear 4 with a bulky shape that is affected by aerodynamics is more difficult to aim and has a larger error.

Of course, if you are looking for realism, the error range should be determined by a specified function or table data, with one or more of the following determining factors added: the moving speed Vpc of the player character 2 at the time of the hit, the moving speed Vm of the enemy character 8, the type of enemy character 8, the level of the player character 2, and environmental factors (for example, environmental factors such as strong winds, being underwater, etc.).

The linkage range display 27 indicates the range in which a synergistic effect with other spears 4 already stuck in the enemy character 8 is applied, based on the position indicated by the first type reticle 21. The content of the synergistic effect can be set as appropriate. For example, the more other spears 4 there are, the more damage is inflicted on the enemy character 8 when a new spear 4 sticks in the enemy character 8, the more the penetration strength of the newly stuck spear 4 is increased, or an ability set for the newly stuck spear 4 is activated, etc. can be set as appropriate.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a long-distance attack.
When a long-distance attack is selected, the player character 2 holds the spear 4 at a diagonal upward angle relative to a direct attack. The player performs a predetermined throwing operation to make the player character 2 throw the spear 4 to attack. The position in which the player character 2 holds the spear 4 can be changed by a predetermined position change operation.

When a long-distance attack is selected, the long-distance attack sight 20b is displayed. The long-distance attack sight 20b has a second type reticle 22, an error range display 25, a linkage range display 27, and a predicted flight course 29.

The predicted flight course 29 is an indicator showing the predicted flight course of the thrown spear 4 under the conditions at the time, and may be displayed in the form of, for example, a line, a band, or the like.
The predicted flight course 29 is calculated using a predetermined function based on flight-related parameter values (specifically, weight, length, positive and negative acceleration performance, aiming error, and flight course characteristics) set for each type of spear 4 and parameter values corresponding to the initial throwing conditions (for example, the moving speed Vpc and initial speed Vh0 of the player character 2). The function may be a physical calculation or a pseudo-physical calculation. Then, at the position where the predicted flight course 29 intersects with the enemy character 8, a second type reticle 22, an error range display 25, and a linkage range display 27 are displayed.

The initial velocity Vh0 may be a fixed value, but may also be determined using parameter values set for the player character, such as the level of the player character 2, ability parameter values such as strength and stamina, the activation of skills that improve these abilities, and possession of items that improve these abilities.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining parameter values related to the determination of whether or not the spear 4 will pierce the enemy character 8. In FIG.
If an enemy character 8 is present in the destination of the spear 4, then it is determined that the two have hit, but whether or not the spear 4 pierces the enemy character 8 as a result of the hit is determined separately by a "piercing determination."

The parameter value of the enemy character 8 (target object) related to the "piercing judgment" is the "bounce attribute." The "bounce attribute" is a parameter value that indicates which of the categories set for each spear 4 the spear has bulletproof performance against.

The category of spear 4 can be set as appropriate, for example, "standard object spear", "accelerated object spear (in flight)", "energy spear (electricity or flames in the shape of a spear)", etc. Attribute settings such as "earth", "water", "wind", "fire", "wood", "holy", and "magic" are also possible. Alternatively, categories may be based on the material, ingredients, and physical properties of spear 4, such as "special grade material", "first grade material", "second grade material", "mithril", "iron", and "cold".

The "flip attribute" indicates which category of spear 4 is to be flipped. For example, it may be a list of flags by category. And, even if a spear 4 in a category set with the flip attribute hits an enemy character 8, the piercing determination will result in a negative judgment of "not piercing."

The parameter value of the spear 4 related to the "sticking determination" is the hit power value Ph.
The hit power value Ph is determined using as variables the spear type ability of the spear 4 and the hit speed Vh of the spear 4 at the time of hit determination.

The spear type abilities of spear 4 are set, for example, attack power Fa, weight Wt, sharpness Sp, and acceleration performance (while flying) Ac (for example, movement acceleration while flying). Of course, the content of the abilities is not limited to these, and can be added or omitted as appropriate.

The hit speed Vh is the movement speed Vpc of the player character 2 at the time of hit in the case of a direct attack, and in the case of a long-distance attack, is a value calculated by physical calculation or pseudo-physical calculation from movement parameter values such as initial speed Vh0 and acceleration performance Ac, and flight time. It may also be calculated by further including gravitational acceleration and negative acceleration due to aerodynamic resistance.

The hit power value Ph is calculated to have a positive correlation with the attack force Fa, weight Wt, and sharpness Sp (the higher the value, the sharper the sharpness). The hit power value Ph is also calculated to have a positive correlation with the speed parameter value, i.e., the hit speed Vh, acceleration performance Ac, and environmental factor acceleration acting on the spear 4 (e.g., gravity, wind), etc. In the example of FIG. 7, a graph showing a continuous positive correlation is shown, but the positive correlation may also be stepped. The hit power value Ph may also be calculated using the kinetic energy formula.

The parameter value of the hit situation related to the "stick determination" is "hit angle θ".
The hit angle θ is the relative angle between the surface of the enemy character 8 at the hit position and the traveling direction of the spear 4 (the direction of the tip of the spear 4).

The hit speed Vh is calculated from the initial speed Vh0. Although the initial speed Vh0 can be a fixed value, it is preferable to determine it by further using the parameter values set for the player character 2. In this case, the parameter values for the player character 2 will essentially affect the hit determination.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the stabbing determination and the change in the display mode of the spear 4 according to the determination result.
In the stab determination process, if the value of the sine of the hit angle θ x the spear type coefficient ks x the deflection attribute coefficient kj is smaller than the stab defense value Pd set for the enemy character 8, it is determined that the spear will not stab, and if it is greater than the stab defense value Pd, it is determined that the spear will stab.

The spear category coefficient kc is determined in advance according to the category of the spear 4 that hits. It may also be determined according to the material of the spear 4.
The repellent attribute coefficient kj is set to "0" when the category of the spear 4 that was hit, as indicated by the repellent attribute of the enemy character 8 that was hit, corresponds to a category that is a target for being repelled, and is set to "1" when the category corresponds to a category that is a target for not being repelled. Note that the coefficient may be configured to set an intermediate value between "0" and "1" for each category. In that case, the repellent attribute coefficient kj may be read as the probability of being repelled.

The parameter values used to determine if the spear has pierced the target can be added, omitted, or replaced as appropriate. For example, the level and skill of the player character 2, the level and skill of the spear 4, the weather in the game space, etc. may be used. For example, if the skill "guaranteed hit" is set for the player character 2 or the spear 4, it may be determined that the spear has pierced the target without fail.

If the result of the stabbing determination is that the spear 4 does not stab, the spear 4 that hits is displayed in a manner that makes it appear as if it is being deflected by the enemy character 8 that was hit.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the spear 4 will "stab", the spear 4 that hits is displayed in a state in which it is stabbed into the enemy character 8 that was hit.

In the display mode of the stabbed state, the tip of the spear 4 that hits is depicted as if it is stuck into the enemy character 8 that was hit. The ratio of the length of the tip buried inside the enemy character 8 to the length of the tip is called the "depth."

The depth Dp is calculated, for example, based on the multiplication of the sine of the hit angle θ, the hit power value Ph, and the sharpness Sp of the spear 4 that hit. The depth Dp basically has a positive correlation with these variables, and once it reaches a certain threshold, anything above that is set to a certain depth value (for example, 100%). Of course, the variables used to calculate the depth Dp are not limited to these and can be set as appropriate. For example, the sine of the hit angle θ may be omitted.

If the depth Dp is shallow, only the tip of the bait is stuck and the effect display is subdued. If the depth Dp is deep, most of the bait is buried and a flashy effect is displayed, with the handle vibrating more to show the strength of the hit.

9 and 10 are diagrams for explaining a change in the stabbing state when a spear 4 that has already been stuck is reused.
When the player performs a predetermined status display operation, a status display 30 is displayed for each spear 4 that is already stuck. The status display 30 simply displays the stuck state of the spear 4. For example, a depth display 32 and attribute information 34 indicating that different action effects are set for the spear 4 depending on the stuck state are displayed. Other information displayed on the status display 30 can be set as appropriate. For example, in a multiplayer game, information about the player who used the spear 4 may be displayed. The remaining life time until the spear 4 is lost may also be displayed.

The player can then refer to the status display 30 and use the spear 4 that is already stuck in the player's hand to change its state, allowing it to be reused. The form in which it can be reused can be set as appropriate.

In the example of FIG. 9, spear 4b is used as a foothold for player character 2. Furthermore, from status display 30, spear 4a is only shallowly stuck, and from attribute information 34, it can be seen that if spear 4a is stuck deeper, an additional effect can be expected accordingly. When the player performs a "re-stab operation", which is one of the specified "state-changing operations", the player character 2 is made to "follow up" by stabbing the already stuck spear 4a deeper.

In the example of FIG. 10, the player performs a "depth decreasing operation (which essentially reduces the depth to zero depending on the operation time)," which is one of the predetermined "state changing operations," and a "re-stabbing operation" by changing the stabbing position. In other words, the spear 4a being operated is pulled out once and then stabbed again.

As shown in FIG. 10(1), if the spear 4a being pulled out has a "barb (such as a reverse-pointing barb)," damage from the "barb" is inflicted on the enemy character 8 by the process of reducing the depth Dp and pulling it out. Then, in FIG. 10(2), the player stabs the fully pulled out spear 4a again in a different location. When stabbing in a different location, a hit between the spear 4a and the enemy character 8 is detected again, and a stabbing determination is made.

Figure 11 is a diagram explaining the damage inflicted on an enemy character 8 by stabbing it with a spear 4. The damage inflicted is the sum of a basic damage value DM1 and an attribute damage value DM2.

The basic damage value DM1 represents the amount of damage that occurs commonly regardless of the type of spear 4 that is stabbed. For example, the basic damage value DM1 is determined by a predetermined function _fD1 whose variables are the hit power value Ph, the depth Dp, and the stab defense value Pd. The stab defense value Pd may be the stab defense value Pd set for the part of the enemy character 8 that is hit by the spear 4, among multiple parts of the enemy character 8, or it may be the stab defense value Pd common to the entire enemy character 8.
The basic damage value DM1 has a positive correlation with the hit power value Ph and the depth Dp, but has a negative correlation with the penetration defense value Pd.

Of course, the variables of the basic damage value DM1 are not limited to these and can be added or omitted as appropriate. For example, if level values are set for the player character 2 or spear 4, those level values can also be added to the variables. It is also possible to set as appropriate whether to have a positive or negative correlation with each variable, and the degree of tendency to be imparted.

The attribute damage value DM2 represents the amount of damage determined according to the attribute set in the stabbing spear 4. For example, the attribute damage value DM2 is calculated by a predetermined function _fD2 having the time correlation attribute damage value Dpz, the status change attribute damage value Dpl, and the linkage attribute damage value Dcp as variables.

The time-correlated attribute damage value Dpz is the amount of damage that changes depending on the length of time that has elapsed since the spear 4 was stabbed. For example, this includes damage caused by poison, paralysis, bleeding, freezing, petrification, etc. Therefore, the attribute damage value DM2 is set to have a positive correlation with the time-correlated attribute damage value Dpz.

The status change attribute damage value Dpl is the amount of damage caused by the change in the stabbing status of the spear 4. For example, this includes damage that occurs only when the spear is pulled out with the "barrel" or explosive damage that occurs when the spear reaches a certain depth.

The combo attribute damage value Dcp indicates the amount of damage caused as a combo effect, based on the number and relative positional relationship of other spears 4 already stuck in the combo range (range shown by combo range display 27; see Figures 5 and 6) with the hit position of the newly stuck spear 4 as the reference position. Therefore, the combo attribute damage value Dcp is set to have a positive relationship with the number of other spears 4 (number of combo targets) that exist in the combo range, and the relative distance.

Note that the variables for the attribute damage value DM2 are not limited to these examples and can be added or omitted as appropriate. It is also possible to set whether to have a positive or negative correlation with each variable, and the degree of tendency to be imparted.

The settings for the base damage value DM1 and the attribute damage value DM2 are stored in the spear initial setting data 520, which is prepared in advance for each type of spear 4.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the data configuration of the spear initial setting data 520. As shown in FIG.
The spear initial setting data 520 stores various parameter values related to the initial setting of the spear of that type. The spear initial setting data 520 includes, for example, a unique spear type 521, a spear category 523, object model data 525 for displaying the spear on the game screen, flight course setting data 527, dimensional specifications 530, material 531, weight 532, sharpness 533, aiming error 534, acceleration performance 535, initial lifespan 536, and part attribute setting information 540 indicating the unique attributes of each part of the spear.

The flight course setting data 527 stores various data for determining the trajectory of movement of the spear 4 of that type when it flies. For example, (1) if the spear 4 flies with parabolic motion, a formula for drawing a parabola or a pseudo-parabolic curve is stored, and (2) if the spear 4 flies with a zigzag course, a formula for defining the zigzag course and a function for setting the bending points are stored.

Acceleration performance 535 indicates the effective movement acceleration applied during flight (see Figure 7; acceleration performance Ac). Acceleration performance 535 is not limited to positive values, and can be negative values. An example of a positive value would be a spear 4 that accelerates with magic, or that is equipped with a booster and accelerates during flight. An example of a negative value would be a spear 4 that has a barb or a complex shape that creates high air resistance.

The initial lifespan 536 is the length of time that the stabbed state continues after the spear 4 is stabbed. In other words, it is the initial setting value for the duration of time until the stabbed state of the spear 4 is released. The initial lifespan 536 is set as a length of time, but depending on the game rules, it may also be set as the number of turns, etc.

The part attribute setting information 540 can be prepared for each part set on the tip of the spear 4. In the example of Figure 12, three parts are set according to the distance from the tip, and part attribute setting information 540 is prepared for each part.

One piece of part attribute setting information 540 includes part definition data 541 that defines the part to which the setting information applies, attribute damage type 543, attribute activation conditions 545, attribute damage value setting information 547, and attribute information display material data 548. Of course, data other than these can also be included as appropriate.

The attribute damage type 543 indicates whether it is a time-dependent correlation, a status change, or a linkage.

The attribute activation condition 545 defines the condition for the attribute damage to be inflicted. For example, the condition can be described by the spear 4 reaching a certain depth, a specific action such as pulling it out, the time that has passed since the spear 4 was stabbed or the depth of the spear reached a certain part of the body, the level of the player character 2 or the spear 4, the type of enemy character 8, etc.

The attribute damage value setting information 547 stores information related to the setting of the damage value related to the attribute of the part in question. Depending on the content of the damage, for example, a function for calculating the damage value, a fixed value, a probability for determining whether or not to inflict damage, etc. are stored.

The attribute information display material data 548 is data for displaying in the status display 30 in the attribute information 34 (see Figure 9) that the relevant part has a unique attribute.

Next, the functional configuration will be described.
13 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the server system 1100. The server system 1100 includes an operation input unit 100s, a server processing unit 200s, a sound output unit 390s, an image display unit 392s, a communication unit 394s, and a server storage unit 500s.

The operation input unit 100s is a means for inputting various operations for managing the server. This corresponds to the keyboard 1106 in FIG. 1.

The server processing unit 200s is realized by electronic components such as processors that serve as arithmetic circuits, such as a CPU, GPU, ASIC, FPGA, etc., as well as IC memory, and controls the input and output of data between each functional unit, including the operation input unit 100s and the server storage unit 500s. It performs various types of arithmetic processing based on predetermined programs and data, operation input signals from the operation input unit 100s, data received from the player terminal 1500, etc., and performs integrated control of the operation of the server system 1100.

The server processing unit 200s includes a user management unit 202, a game management unit 210, a timing unit 280s, a sound generation unit 290s, an image generation unit 292s, and a communication control unit 294s. Of course, other functional units may also be included as appropriate.

The user management unit 202 handles processes related to user registration procedures and stores and manages various information associated with user accounts. Specifically, the user management unit 202 (1) assigns unique user accounts to registered users, (2) stores and manages personal information for each user account, and (3) stores and manages save data related to games.

The game management unit 210 performs various controls related to controlling the progress of the game. Specifically, the game management unit 210 has a moving object selection unit 212, a movement control unit 214, a penetration determination unit 216, a display mode control unit 218, a penetration state change control unit 220, a damage control unit 222, a status display control unit 224, an aim display control unit 226, and a lifespan control unit 228. Of course, functional units other than these can also be included as appropriate.

The moving object selection unit 212 performs control to select a moving object from among multiple types of moving object candidates based on the player's selection operation. Specifically, this corresponds to control to equip the player character 2 with a spear 4 from among the spears 4 held by the player before playing, and control to select a spear 4 to be used from among the equipped spears 4 (see Figure 4).

The movement control unit 214 determines a movement parameter value related to the movement of the moving object based on a movement instruction operation, and uses the movement parameter value to control the movement of the moving object. Specifically, when a direct attack is selected, the movement of the player character 2 in the game space is controlled based on the movement instruction operation, and the movement speed Vpc and movement acceleration are set as the movement parameter values of the moving object. When a long-distance attack is selected, the state before throwing is the same as a direct attack, but when a throwing operation is input, an initial speed Vh0 is determined as one of the movement parameter values based on the movement speed Vpc and movement acceleration of the player character 2 at that time. Then, during flight, the movement parameter value is updated to the latest Vh of the moving position based on the initial speed Vh0 and the acceleration performance Ac set for the spear 4, and the position coordinates and attitude are continuously updated.

The sticking determination unit 216 determines the hit situation including at least the hit angle θ when the moving object hits the target, and determines whether the moving object has stuck in the target using the hit situation and the type of the moving object (see Figures 7 and 8).

Specifically, the piercing determination unit 216 (1) determines the hit power value Ph using the hit situation and the type of moving object, (2) determines the hit part where the moving object hits, and (3) determines whether the moving object pierces the target object using the hit power value Ph and the attributes of the hit part.

More specifically, when the speed parameter value satisfies a second speed condition, which is a threshold condition faster than the first speed condition, the penetration determination unit 216 determines the hit power value to be larger than when only the first speed condition is satisfied.

The penetration determination unit 216 then uses the hit situation or the hit power value Ph to determine the penetration depth Dp. Specifically, the penetration depth Dp is determined based on the hit angle θ, which is one element that describes the hit situation, the hit power value Ph, and the sharpness Sp (see FIG. 8).

When the sticking determination unit 216 determines that the moving object will stick, the display mode control unit 218 controls the display of the moving object sticking into the target at the position where the object was hit, in a display mode according to the determination result (see Figure 8).
Specifically, the display mode control unit 218 changes the display mode in accordance with the hit power value Ph and the depth Dp. Of course, the display mode may be changed based on either the hit power value Ph or the depth Dp.

The display mode control unit 218 also eliminates the stuck state and causes the moving object to disappear based on a given lifespan condition set for the stuck moving object.

The sticking state change control unit 220 changes the sticking state of the moving object based on the player's state change operation. Specifically, state change operations include "an operation to decrease the depth (which can effectively set the depth to zero, meaning no sticking, depending on the length of the operation)" and an operation to stick the moving object again, and changes the sticking depth of the moving object depending on each operation (see Figures 9 and 10).

The damage control unit 222 performs control to gradually inflict damage on the target according to the time that the moving object remains stuck in the target.
Specifically, (1) calculation and application of a basic damage value DM1 based on the depth Dp, and (2) control related to the calculation and application of an attribute damage value DM2 and a time-correlated attribute damage value Dpz that are gradually applied to the target object based on the passage of time of the moving object's piercing state (see Figure 11).
In addition, for a moving object in which attributes are defined for each part according to the depth at which it penetrates the target, the damage control unit 222 inflicts damage to the target based on the attributes of the part of the moving object that corresponds to the depth (see Figure 12).

The status display control unit 224 controls the display of the status display 30 for the moving object in the stuck state (see Figure 9).

The aim display control unit 226 controls the display of the aim 20, which is the destination of the moving object. Specifically, the aim is displayed and controlled with different aiming errors depending on the type of moving object selected (see FIG. 6).

The lifespan control unit 228 controls the lifespan of a moving object in a stuck state based on the depth to which the moving object is stuck. Specifically, it determines the lifespan (e.g., the length of time, number of turns, etc.) until the stuck state is released.

The timing unit 280s uses the system clock to measure the current date and time, time limit, etc.

The sound generation unit 290s is realized by executing an IC or software that generates or decodes audio data, and generates or decodes audio data such as operation sounds and sound effects related to games, background music, and voice calls for system management of the server system 1100. Audio signals related to system management are then output to the sound output unit 390s.

The sound output unit 390s emits an audio signal. In the example of FIG. 1, this corresponds to a speaker (not shown) provided in the main device 1101 or the touch panel 1108.

The image generation unit 292s generates an image to be displayed on the image display unit 392s and outputs the image signal. This corresponds to part of the function of generating screens related to system management of the server system 1100 and various screens related to the game (or data for displaying them on the player terminal 1500).

The image display unit 392s is realized by a device that displays images, such as a flat panel display, a head-mounted display, or a projector. In the example of FIG. 1, this corresponds to the touch panel 1108.

The communication control unit 294s executes data processing related to data communication and realizes data exchange with external devices via the communication unit 394s.

The communication unit 394s connects to the network 9 to realize communication. For example, it is realized by a wireless communication device, a modem, a TA (terminal adapter), a jack for a wired communication cable, a control circuit, etc. In the example of FIG. 1, it corresponds to the communication device 1153.

The server storage unit 500s stores programs and various data for implementing various functions for the server processing unit 200s to comprehensively control the server system 1100. It is also used as a working area for the server processing unit 200s, and temporarily stores the results of calculations executed by the server processing unit 200s according to various programs. This function is implemented, for example, by IC memory such as RAM or ROM, magnetic disks such as hard disks, optical disks such as CD-ROMs or DVDs, online storage, etc. In the example of Figure 1, this corresponds to storage media such as IC memory 1152 and hard disks mounted on the main unit, and storage 1140.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of programs and data stored in the server storage unit 500s.
The server storage unit 500s stores a server program 501, a distribution client program 503, and game initial setting data 510. The server storage unit 500s also stores user management data 600, play data 700, and a current date and time 900 as data that is sequentially generated and managed. The server storage unit 500s also stores other programs and data (e.g., timers, counters, various flags, etc.) as appropriate.

The server program 501 is a program for realizing the functions of the user management unit 202 and the game management unit 210 by being read and executed by the server processing unit 200s.
The delivery client program 503 is an original client program provided to the player terminal 1500 .

The game initial setting data 510 includes various initial setting data necessary for controlling the execution of the game.
Specifically, the game initial setting data 510 includes game space initial setting data 512, player character initial setting data 514, sub-character initial setting data 516, spear initial setting data 520 (see FIG. 12), display mode definition data 558, and enemy character initial setting data 560. Of course, data other than these may also be included as appropriate.

The display mode definition data 558 defines the display mode to be applied to the spear 4 that is determined to be stabbing, and is prepared for each type of spear 4 and each range of depth Dp.

One display mode definition data 558 includes the applicable spear type, applicable depth range, effect data, vibration expression data, stabbing sound effect data, etc. If the length to which the tip of the spear 4 is embedded in the enemy character 8 is determined including variables other than the depth Dp (for example, the hit power value Ph), a function that determines the embedded length can be included in the definition data.

The enemy character initial setting data 560 is prepared for each type of enemy character 8, and stores various data that defines the initial state of that character. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, one enemy character initial setting data 560 includes a unique enemy type 561, object model data 563, ability parameter value list 565, and body part initial setting data 570. Of course, other data may also be included as appropriate.

The object model data 563 stores model data and motion data for displaying the enemy character on the game screen. Model data is prepared for each body part that constitutes the enemy character 8.

The ability parameter value list 565 stores parameter values that define the strength and type of various abilities that are applied to the enemy character 8 as a whole.

A single part initial setting data 570 includes a unique part type 571, material attribute setting data 573, and bounce attribute setting data 577. Of course, other data can also be included as appropriate. For example, material type and hardness for each part can be included.

The material attribute setting data 573 includes data indicating the characteristics of the material of the part in question. Specifically, it includes the stab defense value 575.

Returning to FIG. 14, user management data 600 is prepared for each user who has been registered as a player, and stores various information associated with that user. For example, the user management data 600 can store a unique user account including a user ID, a list of spears owned, game save data, and so on.

Play data 700 is created for each game play, and stores various data describing the game progress of that game play. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, one play data 700 stores a unique play ID 701, a player account 703, sub-character management data 706, enemy character management data 708, player character management data 710, spear control data 740, hit spear management data 800, and play results 854. Of course, other data than these can also be included as appropriate.

Sub-character management data 706 is created for each sub-character 6, and stores various data describing the latest state of the enemy character (position coordinates, posture information, movement speed, movement acceleration, motion control data, etc.).

Enemy character management data 708 is created for each enemy character 8, and stores various data describing the latest state of that enemy character (position coordinates, posture information, movement speed, movement acceleration, motion control data, etc.). In the example of FIG. 16, only one piece of management data is depicted, but if multiple enemy characters 8 appear at once, then the same number of pieces of management data are prepared.

The player character management data 710 is created for each character when the player character 2 is placed in the game space, and stores various data describing the character's latest state. Specifically, one player character management data 710 includes a unique character ID 711, position coordinates 713, motion control data 715, player character movement parameter values 717, an equipped spear list 720, an attack mode 722 indicating whether the currently selected attack is a direct attack or a long-range attack, aim display control data 724, and status display control data 726.

Player character movement parameter values 717 include movement speed, movement acceleration, movement time, etc.

The equipped spear list 720 is a list of spears 4 that are equipped or possessed by the player character 2.

The spear control data 740 stores various data describing the latest status of the spear 4 to be used, selected from the equipped spear list 720. In the example of FIG. 16, only one spear control data 740 is depicted, but in a configuration in which the player character 2 uses multiple spears 4 at once, the number of spear control data 740 required is prepared.

The spear control data 740 includes a unique spear ID 741, the type of spear used 742, position coordinates in the game space 743, an attitude control value 744, a flight flag 745 that is set to "1" when the spear is flown, and a spear movement parameter value 746. Of course, other data than these may also be included as appropriate.

The hit spear management data 800 is created for each spear 4 that hits an enemy character 8.
17, one hit spear management data 800 includes a unique spear ID 801, a spear type 802, a stabbing player account 803, a target enemy character ID 804 indicating the stabbed object, hit situation data 810, a hit power value 820, and stabbing state management data 830. Of course, other data than these may also be included as appropriate.

The hit situation data 810 stores various data describing the hit situation. For example, the hit situation data 810 includes a hit position 811, a hit part 813, a hit angle 815, and a hit speed 817. Of course, other data may also be included as appropriate.

The stabbing state management data 830 is created when the result of the stabbing judgment for the spear is "stabbed," and stores various data describing the stabbing state of the spear. Specifically, it includes depth 831, display mode setting 832 (information on the effect to be applied), stabbing start date and time 834, and applicable lifespan 836. Of course, other data than these can also be included as appropriate.

The applicable lifespan 836 is set based on the depth 831 of the spear 4. Specifically, an applicable magnification may be determined based on a given function that has a positive or negative relationship with the depth 831, and the applicable lifespan 836 may be determined by multiplying the initial duration 536 (see FIG. 12) by the applicable magnification. Of course, the variable used in the given function is not limited to the depth 831, and the parameter value set for the part of the enemy character 8 that is stabbed (see part initial setting data 570 in FIG. 15) may also be used.

By appropriately setting a given function, it is possible to make it harder to remove the spear 4 the deeper it is stuck, or conversely, depending on the part of the body where it is stuck, it may be possible to create a state in which the spear 4 becomes damaged and easier to remove when it is stuck deeper. Either way, this can increase the interest.

FIG. 18 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the player terminal 1500.
The player terminal 1500 includes an operation input unit 100 , a terminal processing unit 200 , a sound output unit 390 , an image display unit 392 , a communication unit 394 , and a terminal storage unit 500 .

The operation input unit 100 outputs operation input signals corresponding to various operation inputs made by the player to the device processing unit 200. For example, this can be realized by a push switch, joystick, touch pad, track ball, acceleration sensor, gyro, CCD module, etc. Examples of this include the directional input keys 1502, button switches 1504, and touch panel 1506 in FIG. 2.

The terminal processing unit 200 is realized by electronic components such as a microprocessor such as a CPU or GPU, and an IC memory, and controls the input and output of data between each functional unit including the operation input unit 100 and the terminal storage unit 500. It controls the operation of the player terminal 1500 by executing various types of arithmetic processing based on predetermined programs and data, operation input signals from the operation input unit 100, and various types of data received from the server system 1100. This corresponds to the control board 1550 in Figure 2.

In this embodiment, the device processing unit 200 has a player device control unit 260, a timing unit 280, a sound generation unit 290, an image generation unit 292, and a communication control unit 294.

The player terminal control unit 260 controls the player terminal 1500 to function as a client device that communicates with the server system 1100. Specifically, the player terminal control unit 260 includes an operation signal transmission control unit 261 and an image display control unit 262.

The operation signal transmission control unit 261 executes processing to transmit various data and requests to the server system 1100 in response to operations performed on the operation input unit 100.

The image display control unit 262 performs control to display game screens, various operation screens, etc. based on various data received from the server system 1100.

The timing unit 280 uses the system clock to measure the current date and time, time limits, etc.

The sound generation unit 290 is realized by, for example, a digital signal processor (DSP), a processor such as a voice synthesis IC, an audio codec capable of playing audio files, etc., and generates sound signals for music, sound effects, and various operation sounds, and outputs them to the sound output unit 390.

The sound output unit 390 is realized by a device that outputs (emits) sound based on the sound signal input from the sound generation unit 290. This corresponds to the speaker 1510 in FIG. 2.

The image generation unit 292 performs image generation, image composition, and output of image signals for displaying them on the image display unit 392 based on the processing results of the image display control unit 262. In the example of FIG. 2, this corresponds to a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and a graphics controller mounted on the control board 1550.

The image display unit 392 is realized by a device that displays images, such as a flat panel display, a head-mounted display, or a projector. In the example of FIG. 2, this corresponds to the touch panel 1506.

The communication control unit 294 executes data processing related to data communication and realizes data exchange with external devices via the communication unit 394.

The communication unit 394 connects to the network 9 to realize communication. For example, it is realized by a wireless communication device, a modem, a TA (terminal adapter), a jack for a wired communication cable, a control circuit, etc. In the example of FIG. 2, this corresponds to the wireless communication module 1553.

In this embodiment, the images of the game screen and various other screens are generated by the server system 1100, but they can also be generated by the player terminal 1500. In this case, the image display control unit 262 performs, for example, control of objects placed in a virtual three-dimensional space to generate 3DCG, and the image generation unit 292 renders the 3DCG and executes various controls to generate the game screen.

The device storage unit 500 stores programs for causing the device processing unit 200 to realize given functions, various data, etc. It is also used as a working area for the device processing unit 200, and temporarily stores the results of calculations executed by the device processing unit 200 according to various programs, input data input from the operation input unit 100, etc. These functions are realized by, for example, IC memory such as RAM or ROM, magnetic disks such as hard disks, optical disks such as CD-ROMs and DVDs, etc. In the example of Figure 2, this corresponds to the IC memory 1552 and memory card 1540 mounted on the control board 1550. A configuration using online storage is also possible.

Specifically, the terminal storage unit 500 records a client program 502 for causing the terminal processing unit 200 to function as the player terminal control unit 260, operation input data 690, and the current date and time 900. Of course, other data can also be stored as appropriate.

Next, the operation of the game system 1000 will be described.
19 and 20 are flowcharts for explaining the flow of the process executed by the server system 1100 for each game play.

The server system 1100 accepts the selection of the spear 4 to be equipped to the player character 2 (step S10). For example, by referencing the list of spear types and the number of spears owned in the player's user management data 600, the server system 1100 displays a list of the spears 4 owned on the player terminal 1500 and accepts the selection operation of the spear 4 to be equipped. The result of the acceptance is stored as the equipped spear list 720.

Next, the server system 1100 executes an initialization process (step S12). Specifically, the server system 1100 places the player character 2 and the enemy character 8 in the game space. The spear 4 used by the player character 2 is the first type registered in the equipped spear list 720.

Next, the server system 1100 starts the game play (step S14), and accordingly starts the following control.
That is,
(1) Automatic control of enemy character 8,
(2) Control of the movement and actions of the player character 2 in response to movement instruction operations inputted via the player terminal 1500;
(3) Control for displaying the selection screen 10 (see FIG. 4 ) on the player terminal 1500 in response to a calling operation from the player terminal 1500, and switching the spear 4 used by the player character 2 in response to a selection operation on the screen;
(4) Control of switching the attack mode of the player character 2 between direct attack and long-distance attack in response to an attack switching operation;
(5) Control for changing the posture of the spear 4 held by the player character 2 in response to a posture change operation;
(6) Display control of the sight 20;
(7) Control to display the status display 30 in response to a status display operation;
Start.

After the game play starts, when the server system 1100 detects a throwing operation, it assumes that an operation to release the spear 4 has been performed (YES in step S40), and starts controlling the flight of the spear 4 held by the player character 2 (step S42).

Specifically, the movement speed Vpc of the player character 2 at the time when the throwing operation is detected (or a value obtained by adding an additional speed corresponding to the throwing force or the effect of riding the sub-character 6) is set to the initial speed Vh0, and the spear 4 is moved so as to fly according to the flight course setting data 527. During flight, the acceleration performance 535 of the spear 4 is applied. Depending on the type of spear 4, movement control during flight may be performed by physical calculation.

Since the thrown spear 4 leaves the player character 2's hand, the server system 1100 makes a new spear 4 appear in the game space and has the player character 2 ready to throw it (step S44).

After game play begins, the server system 1100 monitors hits between the spear 4 (moving object) and the enemy character 8 (target).

If a hit is detected (YES in step S50), the server system 1100 creates hit spear management data 800 (see FIG. 17) and judges and determines the hit situation (step S52). Specifically, the server system 1100 (1) judges the hit position 811, (2) judges the hit part 813 of the enemy character 8, (3) judges the hit angle 815 (hit angle θ), and (4) determines the hit speed 817 (hit speed Vh).

Next, the server system 1100 calculates the hit power value Ph (step S54) and performs a hit determination (step S56).

Moving on to FIG. 20, if the result of the stabbing determination is positive (stabbed) (YES in step S60), the server system 1100 determines the depth Dp (step S62) and displays the spear 4 stabbing the enemy character 8 in a display mode corresponding to the depth Dp (step S64; see FIG. 8). Specifically, the tip of the spear 4 determined to have stabbed is buried in the enemy character 8 up to the proportion indicated by the depth Dp from the tip, and at the same time, effects and vibration expressions defined by the corresponding display mode definition data 558 (see FIG. 14) are executed, and a stabbing sound is emitted.

Next, the server system 1100 inflicts damage at the time of hit to the enemy character 8 that has been hit (step S66). Specifically, a basic damage value DM1 is calculated. In addition, an attribute damage value DM2 is calculated based on the attribute damage value setting information 547 that satisfies the attribute activation condition 545 (see FIG. 12), and the sum of these is set as the damage value at the time of hit, which is subtracted from the durability value of the enemy character 8.
Then, the server system 1100 sets the applicable life span 836 of the stuck spear 4 (step S68).

On the other hand, if the result of the stabbing determination is negative (not stabbed) (NO in step S60), the server system 1100 displays the spear 4 as if it were being bounced off the enemy character 8 that it hit (step S68; see Figure 8).

Next, when the server system 1100 detects a state change operation on the spear 4 that is already stuck (YES in step S80), it changes the stuck state of the spear in accordance with the type of state change operation (step S82; see Figures 9 and 10).

Then, the attribute damage value DM2 associated with the status change is determined, and attribute damage is inflicted on the enemy character 8 pierced by the spear 4 whose status has been changed (step S84).

Next, for each spear that is already stuck, the time-correlated attribute damage value Dpz is calculated and inflicted on the stuck target (step S100). For example, in the example of Figure 12, when the depth Dp reaches part A, the time-correlated attribute damage value Dpz of poison damage is calculated using the attribute damage value setting information 547, and this is subtracted from the durability value of the enemy character 8 stuck with the spear 4. The elapsed time t is calculated as the difference between the date and time 834 when the spear 4 started to stick (see Figure 17) and the current date and time 900.

Next, the server system 1100 searches for spears 4 whose elapsed time t from the sticking start date and time 834 has reached the applicable life span 836 (see FIG. 17), and erases the corresponding spears 4 (step S102). The manner in which the spears are erased can be set appropriately according to the settings of the spears 4. For example, the disappearance may be expressed by describing them as falling out, dissipating into mist, exploding and disappearing, dissolving, etc.

Next, the enemy character 8 whose durability value has reached "0" is defeated, and game points are added (step S104).

Next, the server system 1100 determines whether a predetermined play end condition has been met. The play end condition may be set as appropriate. For example, it may be the expiration of a play time limit or the defeat of a predetermined number of enemy characters 8.

Then, the server system 1100 repeats steps S40 to S104 until the play end condition is met (NO in step S110).

When the play end condition is met (YES in step S110), the server system 1100 executes a predetermined game end process (e.g., announcing the play results, saving the save data, etc.) (step S112), and ends the series of processes.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the player can select the type of moving object to be used and control its movement. When the moving object hits an object, the hit situation, including the hit angle, is determined, and depending on the type of moving object, it is determined whether the moving object will pierce the object. If it does pierce the object, the appearance of the moving object piercing the object is displayed on the game screen in a display mode according to the result of the determination.

This provides a new technology that can enrich the visual depiction of hunting and increase the excitement of hunting in games that use "piercing" items.

In addition, in this embodiment, the depth of the piercing is determined along with the determination of whether or not the object will pierce. The display mode of the moving object is then changed according to the depth. This allows a more realistic depiction of the piercing, making the game more appealing.

The hit power value Ph, which indicates the strength of the "stick," is determined based on the hit situation and the type of moving object, and the stick judgment is made based on this. Therefore, the representation of the stick state on the game screen can be managed in more detail using the hit power value Ph, and a "stick" that looks more realistic can be expressed.

The player can also change the state of a moving object that is already stuck by performing a state change operation. This means that players can play not just with the goal of sticking a "stick" item, but also with the goal of using a moving object that is already stuck.

In addition, damage can be inflicted on the target based on the amount of time t that has elapsed since the moving object pierced the target, and based on which part of the moving object was pierced.

In addition, the piercing can be determined by which part of the target the moving object Jekuo hits. This means that the game has a tactical element to it, such as deciding where to aim on the target.

In addition, the status display 30 can inform the player of information about moving objects that have already been stuck. Therefore, by referring to the status display 30, it is interesting to devise playing tactics such as how to combine the type of moving object and the part of the object that is stuck to achieve better results.

In addition, a moving object that is stuck in an object is not maintained in that state permanently, but is released from the stuck state when its lifespan expires. The stuck moving object is then depicted as disappearing by being pulled out, dissipating into mist, exploding and disappearing, dissolving, or other such expressions. This makes it possible to prevent problems such as moving objects already stuck getting in the way of new moving objects being stuck, the visibility of the object becoming worse due to a large number of moving objects being stuck, and unnecessary increases in the load on calculation processing.

A game has been created in which the player stabs a target by flying a moving object at it, while a sight is displayed to support the player. Furthermore, since the aiming error according to the type of moving object is taken into consideration, a tactical element is added in that the player must choose which moving object to aim at depending on where on the target the object is to be flown, making the game more interesting.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment is basically realized in the same way as the first embodiment, but when comparing the second embodiment with the first embodiment, the difference is that in the first embodiment, each function of game management is realized by the server system 1100, whereas in the second embodiment, game management is realized by the player terminal 1500. Hereinafter, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and components similar to those in the first embodiment will be given the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment, and duplicated explanations will be omitted.

Figure 21 is a diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of a player terminal 1500B of this embodiment. Compared to the player terminal 1500 of the first embodiment, the player terminal 1500B has a game management unit 210 instead of the player terminal control unit 260.

In this embodiment, the terminal storage unit 500 stores a game program 504 instead of a client program 502, game initial setting data 510, and play data 700.

In this embodiment, the processes described in Figures 19 and 20 in the first embodiment are executed by the player terminal 1500B. That is, the process execution subject in the description of Figures 19 and 20 should be replaced with the player terminal 1500B.
In this embodiment, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained.

[Modifications]
Although the embodiment to which the present invention is applied has been described above, the forms to which the present invention can be applied are not limited to the above-described forms, and constituent elements can be added, omitted, or modified as appropriate.

(Variation 1)
For example, the first embodiment shows an example in which the server system 1100 has the functions of the game management unit 210, and the second embodiment shows an example in which the player terminal 1500B has the functions of the game management unit 210, but an intermediate configuration is also possible. That is, based on the first embodiment, a configuration can be adopted in which some of the functions of the game management unit 210 are executed by the player terminal 1500. Conversely, based on the second embodiment, a configuration can be adopted in which some of the functions of the game management unit 210 are executed by the server system 1100.

(Variation 2)
In the above embodiment, a spear 4 is used as an example of a moving object, but the way in which a moving object is handled in a game is not limited to this. For example, as shown in Fig. 22(1), an arrow 5 of a bow 3 equipped by a player character 2B can be a moving object. Also, as shown in Fig. 22(2), a drill punch 7 fired by a player character 2 can be a moving object. Anything that moves and pierces a target can be used as a moving object in the present invention.

(Variation 3)
Furthermore, the genre of games to which the present invention can be applied is not limited to action games, and may be any genre as long as a moving object is struck by an object, for example, a game in which players throw virtual darts to compete to see who can destroy or collapse an object with the fewest number of darts, or a RPG in which a player character 2 goes on an adventure using a bow 3.

(Variation 4)
Furthermore, the spear category of the spear 4 and the repellent attribute of the enemy character 8 are exemplified as elements that define the offensive and defensive relationship in the above embodiment, but the elements are not limited to these and can be set as appropriate.

For example, it is possible to set a compatibility relationship between the material of the spear 4 and the attributes of the enemy character 8. Specifically, if the material of the spear 4 is "wood," it is difficult to stab an enemy character 8 with the "fire" attribute (the probability of being determined to be stabbed is low), but a spear 4 made of metal is easy to stab.

(Variation 5)
In the above embodiment, only one type of player character 2 and one type of sub-character 6 are illustrated, but the game may have a configuration in which there are multiple types of player character 2 and sub-character 6, and the player can play by combining them as desired. In that case, it is preferable to set the initial velocity Vh0 of the spear 4 when throwing the spear 4 to various values depending on the type of player character 2, the type of sub-character 6, and the combination of the type of player character 2 and the type of sub-character 6.
