Description

The present invention relates to a program and an information processing device.

In recent years, computer games have made remarkable progress, with a wide variety of games being developed to entertain many players. For example, Non-Patent Document 1 proposes one such technology, which allows game characters to be commanded to move using highly flexible touch operations.

[Touch controls for brush exploration are so much fun! Picking out the unique features of the Switch version of "Okami HD"], [online], [Searched March 14, 2022], Internet <https://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/201807050001/>

However, conventional technologies, including the technology described in Patent Document 1 above, are based on the premise that an effect corresponding to a single input operation, such as a touch operation (brush testing), is activated. For example, if you try to perform both a touch operation and another operation (such as a button operation), you have to switch between the operation modes and perform input operations with completely different operability.

The present invention was made in light of this situation, and provides a system in which different first and second actions can be performed in a game with the same operability.

[Embodiment]
An information processing system according to one embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "this system") will be described with reference to the drawings.

<Summary>
FIG. 1 shows an example of the configuration of this system.
1, the system includes a game device 1 and a server 2. The game device 1 and the server 2 are connected to each other via a predetermined network N such as the Internet.
However, the network N is not an essential component, and for example, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (registered trademark), LAN (Local Area Network), etc. may be used.

Here, we will briefly explain the content of the game related to this system (hereinafter referred to as "this game"). This game is a network-based competitive game known as an FPS (First Person Shooter) or TPS (Third Person Shooter).
In this game, for example, a large number of players connected via a network share a virtual space, and each player fights using weapons (firearms, etc.) and recovery items, aiming to win the game. When a player's HP (hit points), which decreases due to various factors in the game such as being attacked by an enemy, falls below a certain value, the player is no longer allowed to continue playing and is eliminated from the game.
In the following, when we simply refer to an "image," we mean both a "moving image" and a "still image." Furthermore, when we simply refer to an "audio," we mean not only the voice produced by the human vocal cords, but also music, background music, sound effects, and so on.

Game device 1 is used by a player who plays the game. Game device 1 may be a general-purpose personal computer, game console, tablet, or the like. Game device 1 communicates with other hardware, etc., while progressing through the game and executing various processes related to the present invention.

Server 2 is managed by an administrator of the system. Server 2 is composed of a general-purpose personal computer or the like. Server 2 stores and manages information necessary for the progress of the game on game device 1.

<Hardware configuration>
FIG. 2 shows the hardware configuration of the game device 1 that constitutes this system.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game device 1 includes a control unit 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a bus 14, an input/output interface 15, an output unit 16, an input unit 17, a memory unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20.

The control unit 11 is configured by a microcomputer including a CPU, a GPU, a semiconductor memory, etc. The control unit 11 executes various processes according to a program recorded in the ROM 12 or a program loaded from the storage unit 18 to the RAM 13.
The RAM 13 also stores information necessary for the control unit 11 to execute various processes as needed.

The control unit 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 are interconnected via a bus 14. The bus 14 is also connected to an input/output interface 15. The input/output interface 15 is connected to an output unit 16, an input unit 17, a memory unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20.

The output unit 16 outputs image data or sound data to a connected LCD display, speaker, etc. The image data or sound data output by the output unit 16 is output via the display, speaker, etc. in a form that can be recognized by humans as an image or sound.

The input unit 17 is composed of a touch panel, a game controller, etc. The input unit 17 inputs various information in response to input operations by the player, etc.

The storage unit 18 is composed of a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD), and stores various data. For example, the storage unit 18 stores various game programs required for game progress.

The communication unit 19 controls communication with other hardware, etc. via a network N, including the Internet.

Drives 20 are provided as needed. Removable media 31, such as magnetic disks, optical disks, magneto-optical disks, or semiconductor memory, are appropriately attached to the drives 20. Programs read from the removable media 31 by the drive 20 are installed in the storage unit 18 as needed. The removable media 31 can also store various data stored in the storage unit 18 in the same way as the storage unit 18.

The hardware configuration of the server 2 is basically the same as that of the game device 1, except that the input unit (not shown) is composed of a mouse, keyboard, etc., so a detailed description will be omitted. Cooperation between these various hardware and software enables the execution of various processes on the game device 1 and the server 2.

Figure 3 shows the functional configuration of the game device 1 and server 2.

As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 11 of the game device 1 executes various programs, etc., thereby causing a game processing execution means 60, an input operation reception means 62, a first mode providing means 64, a second mode providing means 66, and a mode management means 68 to function.

The game processing execution means 60 executes various processes related to the game.
Specifically, the game processing execution means 60 reads out virtual game space objects, textures, etc. included in the game information from the storage unit 18, etc., in accordance with various input operations by the player, and generates two-dimensional or three-dimensional images, sounds, etc. related to the game while executing the game program. In other words, the game processing execution means 60 controls the progress of the game by generating and managing the results of operation instructions by the player.
Furthermore, the game processing execution means 60 acquires information necessary for the progress of the game from the server 2 as appropriate.

The input operation receiving means 62 receives the content of input operations from the player. For example, the input operation receiving means 62 receives operation instructions from the player regarding a game character.

The first mode providing means 64 executes various processes for providing the normal game mode (hereinafter referred to as the "first mode") to the player.
Specifically, the first mode providing means 64 includes a first operation receiving means 70 and a first operating means 72 .

The first operation receiving means 70 receives input of an operation instruction (hereinafter referred to as a "first operation") relating to a reference position for determining the position (coordinates) and angle at which the player will perform the first action. For example, the first operation receiving means 70 executes control relating to the reference position for determining the position (coordinates) and direction at which the first action (described below) will be performed, depending on the degree to which a directional button provided on a game controller or the like is pressed.

The first operation means 72 receives an input of an operation instruction (hereinafter referred to as a "second operation") from the player regarding the execution of the first operation. Furthermore, upon receiving the input of the second operation from the player, the first operation means 72 executes the first operation at a position designated by the first operation receiving means 70 or the like.
Specifically, when the first operation means 72 receives input of a second operation from the player, it executes a first operation at the coordinates and in the direction determined by the first operation receiving means 70 .
The first action may be, for example, an attack action or action set in each game. Specifically, the first action may be, for example, an attack action performed against another character using a weapon (e.g., a gun) that is a predetermined game medium.
Furthermore, when the character executes this first action, a bullet hole, which is a trace of the first action, is left at the position where the first action was executed. In the second mode, which will be described later, this bullet hole is used to determine various processes.

The second mode providing means 66 executes various processes for providing the player with a game mode (hereinafter referred to as the "second mode") in which game processes specific to this game can be executed.
Specifically, the second mode providing means 66 includes a first operation receiving means 80 , a first operating means 82 , and a second operating means 84 .

Similar to the first operation receiving means 70, the first operation receiving means 80 receives input of a first operation related to a reference position for determining the position (coordinates), angle, etc. at which the player will perform the first action.

Like the first operation means 72, the first operation means 82 executes a first operation at a position (coordinates) and direction determined by the first operation reception means 80, etc.

The second operation means 84 executes a second operation in accordance with the first operation or a trajectory specified based on the first operation.
Specifically, the second operation means 84 activates a predetermined in-game effect (hereinafter also referred to as a "brush test effect") that has been set in advance when the shape of a bullet hole generated in the virtual space as a result of the first operation satisfies a predetermined condition. The specific content of the second operation will be described later with reference to Figures 4 to 6.

The mode management means 68 manages the first and second modes and controls switching between each mode.

As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 110 of the server 2 executes various programs and the like, thereby causing a game information management unit 120 to function.
The game information management means 120 manages various information and executes various processes required for the progress of the game by the game device 1. Specifically, for example, the game information management means 120 executes authentication of account information transmitted from the game device 1, and delivers game information etc. in response to a download request from the game device 1 for various game information.

Next, the first and second modes according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 4 shows an overview of the first and second modes according to the present invention.
As described above, the first mode is a game mode for realizing normal game processing. As shown in FIG. 4 , in the first mode, when a player uses a weapon, a normal bullet (projectile) is fired and reaches a predetermined position in the virtual space. In the first mode, when this bullet hits an enemy character, the HP of the enemy character decreases, and when the HP reaches 0, the character is defeated. That is, the bullet (attack) in the first mode is an action intended to reduce the HP of the enemy character, and the bullet holes created in the example of FIG. 4 do not have any particular regularity. In the first mode, players (characters) fight each other by repeating the first action, etc., and aim to win the game by reducing the HP of the enemy character to 0. Note that the bullet's arrival may also destroy objects other than the enemy character, such as terrain or obstacles.
In this game, a certain period of time after the first action is performed may be set in which no other input operations are accepted (hereinafter referred to as a "reaction"), and the administrator of this system can provide a more strategic game by adjusting the presence or absence of a reaction and the duration of the reaction.
Simply put, the first action is, for example, a series of attack actions that are performed by the character using a weapon to fire a bullet as a result of the player giving an input command to perform an attack action.
On the other hand, the second mode, as described above, is a game mode in which, in addition to the first action, game processing relating to a second action specific to this game can be executed. For example, in the second mode, the player can freely cause the character to execute the first action, while a brush test effect is activated in accordance with the trajectory of the bullet hole resulting from the first action. For example, as will be described later, when the shape shown in Figure 4 is drawn, a brush test effect of generating a gust of wind in the surrounding area is activated.
That is, in the second mode, the player can engage in high-tempo combat with enemy characters using the first action, while drawing predetermined shapes using bullet holes to activate additional action effects at predetermined locations, allowing for extremely flexible combat with the same operability. Switching between the first mode and the second mode can be easily performed by a predetermined input operation from the player. For example, by continuing to operate a button or the like for executing the above-mentioned first action while simultaneously operating another button or the like, the player can transition to the second mode while continuing the first action.
Simply put, the second action is, for example, a series of actions required to activate the brush test effect.

FIG. 5 shows an example of an image that is actually displayed on the game device 1 in the first mode.
In the example of Figure 5 (A), an enemy character T1 currently fighting against the player is displayed in the center of the image. To the right of the enemy character T1, an enemy character T2 also currently fighting against the player is displayed. In the battle with the enemy character T1 and the enemy character T2, which are close to each other in the virtual space, the player aims at the enemy character T1 and is about to perform an attack action (first action) with a weapon.
In contrast, in the example of Fig. 5 (B), the target of the attack action (first action) has been changed to enemy character T2. Here, in the example of Fig. 5, the system is equipped with a function for automatically adjusting the virtual camera in response to the player's first operation. That is, when the player performs the first operation, the position and angle of the virtual camera are automatically adjusted so that the center point of the weapon's aim is displayed at a predetermined position (e.g., the center) of the game image. In other words, the position of the weapon's aim can be changed in conjunction with adjusting the position and angle of the virtual camera.
In the example of FIG. 5B, if the player performs an input operation for the first action in this state, the character controlled by the player will perform an attack action (first action) against the enemy character T2.

On the other hand, Fig. 6 shows an example of an image actually displayed on the game device 1 in the second mode. In the example of Fig. 6(A), similar to the situation in Fig. 5(A) described above, the player is aiming at the enemy character T1 and is about to perform an attack action (first action) with a weapon.
In contrast, the example of FIG. 6B shows a state in which the player has performed multiple attack actions (first actions) against a large rock located to the left of the enemy character T1. As a result of these multiple attack actions (first actions), bullet holes (trajectories resulting from the first actions) form a predetermined geometric shape. The trajectories of the bullet holes drawn in this manner activate a brush test effect. For example, in the example of FIG. 6B, the brush test effect activates an effect of generating a gust of wind in the surrounding area. By making good use of the effects activated by the trajectory in this way during combat (for example, by changing the direction of an enemy attack), the player can gain an advantage in combat.

In the example of Figure 6 (B), we explained that the brush stroke effect is activated based on the shape of the figure formed when multiple bullets hit an object (for example, a large rock). However, there may be cases where no object exists in the location where the fired bullets will land (for example, when the bullets are fired into the air). In this case, the trajectory of the bullet holes can be identified by placing a transparent object a predetermined distance ahead in the direction of travel of the fired bullets and virtually detecting the location where the bullets will land.

6 does not include the automatic virtual camera adjustment function that was included in the system in the example of FIG. 5. That is, for example, in the first mode of the system, the virtual camera is automatically adjusted in accordance with the first operation, whereas in the second mode of the system, the first operation and control of the virtual camera are performed independently. In the first mode, the player focuses on the positional relationship between the enemy character and the aim when making an attack, whereas in the second mode, the player focuses on the shape of the trajectory. Therefore, by not linking the first operation with the control of the virtual camera in the second mode, visually induced motion sickness can be prevented.
However, all of these virtual camera specifications are examples, and the administrator of this system can freely set whether or not to use the automatic adjustment function in the mode and the detailed specifications.

Next, the flow of various processes executed by the game device 1 will be explained with reference to Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7 shows the flow of various processes executed by the game device 1 in the first mode.

In step S1, the first operation receiving means 70 receives input of a first operation related to a reference position for determining the position (coordinates) and angle at which the player will perform a first action (e.g., a normal attack operation).

In step S2, the first operation means 72 accepts input of a second operation from the player regarding the execution of the first action.

In step S3, when the first operation means 72 receives input of the second operation from the player, it executes the first operation at the coordinates and direction determined by the first operation reception means 70, etc. This completes the various processes executed by the game device 1 in the first mode.

In contrast to this, FIG. 8 shows the flow of various processes executed by the game device 1 in the second mode.
In step S21, the first operation receiving means 80 receives input of a first operation related to a reference position for determining the position (coordinates) and angle, etc., at which the player will perform a first action (e.g., a normal attack operation), as in the first mode.

In step S22, the first operation means 82 accepts input of a second operation from the player regarding the execution of the first action, as in the first mode.

In step S23, when the first operation means 82 receives input of a second operation from the player, it executes a first operation at the position (coordinates) and direction determined by the first operation receiving means 80, etc.

In step S24, the second operation means 84 determines whether or not the trajectory specified based on the first operation or the first action, that is, the shape of the trajectory of the bullet hole, satisfies a predetermined condition.
If the shape of the bullet hole satisfies the predetermined condition, step S24 is judged as YES, and the process proceeds directly to step S25.
On the other hand, if the shape of the trajectory of the bullet hole does not satisfy the predetermined conditions or if the trajectory of the shape of the bullet hole cannot be identified, step S24 is judged as NO and the process returns to step S21.

In step S25, if the identified trajectory satisfies a predetermined condition, the second operating means 84 activates a preset brush test effect. This ends the various processes executed by the game device 1 in the second mode.

The above describes one embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and includes modifications and improvements within the scope of achieving the objectives of the present invention.

<Other embodiments>

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it has been described that whether or not the brush check effect is activated and the content of the effect are determined based on the shape of the bullet hole, etc., but this is not limited thereto.
For example, it may be the trajectory of the first operation by the player (the content of the operation to move the reference position), the position where the first action was performed, the first operation while the first action was being performed (the direction of the muzzle), or an instruction operation regarding a game medium other than the game medium (weapon) that is the target of the first action.
Also, for example, when an attack action is performed on an object that does not normally leave bullet holes, such as the sky or a river, the trajectory may be determined based on the position (coordinates) in the virtual space that was the target of the attack action, rather than the bullet hole.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it has been described that a recoil is set for the first action and the second action, but the concept of a recoil may or may not be adopted at will.
For example, a recoil may be set for only either the first action or the second action, or the recoil for either action may be made longer or shorter.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the game medium for performing the first action or the second action was described as a gun, but this is not limited to this. The game medium for performing the first action or the second action may be any of a variety of weapons or items, such as various firearms, swords, brushes, blowguns, bows, and katanas.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it has been described that the characters use the same weapon in the first mode and the second mode, but this is not limited to this.
The administrator of this system may adopt a specification that automatically changes the weapon used when switching between the first mode and the second mode, or may change the effect that the same weapon has on enemy characters, for example.
As an example, the administrator of this system may adopt a specification that allows the length of recoil to be changed between the first mode weapon and the second mode weapon, and allows the player to adjust the period of time during which they are subjected to recoil by switching between the first mode and the second mode (switching weapons).

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the second mode was a mode in which the first operation and the second operation could be executed under a series of operations, but the administrator of the system may, for example, adopt a mode in which only the second operation can be executed, or a mode in which the first operation and the second operation can be realized by different operations (independent operations).
In addition, the administrator of the system may adopt a specification in which, for example, when the first action is executed in the second mode, the first action does not directly affect (does not cause damage to) the enemy character.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, an example of a figure that activates the brush check effect is shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
The trigger that activates the brush check effect may be, for example, any character, figure, symbol, shape, pattern, mark, color, or a combination thereof.
The effects activated by these triggers are also arbitrary and are not limited to the examples of the above-described embodiments. For example, in addition to the effect of "generating a gust of wind in the surrounding area to change the trajectory of a weapon," any effect consistent with the game settings, such as "generating a river to prevent enemy invasion,""generating rocks that can block enemy bullets," or "obscuring the view of surrounding enemies with lightning," may be used.

Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the term "second action" has been described as a series of actions that identify the trajectory of the first action and activate the brush check effect (including cases where it is not activated) when certain conditions are met, but is not limited to this.
There are various variations of the second action. For example, the second action may be an action of performing a predetermined input operation (such as a brush check activation button) that triggers the activation of the brush check effect, or, in the case where the brush check effect is activated automatically as in the above-described embodiment, it may be a broad series of actions leading up to the activation of the brush check effect. Furthermore, the action of switching the mode to a state in which the brush check effect can be activated (for example, the second mode) itself may be expressed as the second action.
That is, the term "second operation" does not necessarily have to be used as a word having a unique meaning, but can be used as a broad and ambiguous concept.

Furthermore, although not explained in the above embodiment, the game related to this system may be executed by various hardware (e.g., game device 1), such as a home game console such as PlayStation (registered trademark), a portable game console such as Nintendo Switch (registered trademark), various game consoles designed for commercial use, or electronic devices such as a personal computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Furthermore, although not explained in the above embodiment, the content of the game related to this system is not limited. This system may be applied to any type of game, such as RPGs (Role Playing Games), action games, simulation games, sports games, card games, battle royales (symmetrical and asymmetrical), MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena), music games, fighting games, quiz games, etc.

The above-described series of processes can be executed by hardware or software.
In other words, the functional configurations in FIG. 3 and the like are merely examples and are not particularly limited.
That is, it is sufficient that the information processing system is provided with a function that can execute the above-described series of processes as a whole, and the type of functional block used to realize this function is not limited to the example in Fig. 3 etc. Furthermore, the location of the functional block is not limited to the example in Fig. 3 etc. and may be arbitrary.
Furthermore, one functional block may be configured by hardware alone, by software alone, or by a combination of these.

Furthermore, the number and users of the various hardware components that make up this system are optional, and it may also be configured to include other hardware, etc.

Furthermore, when a series of processes is performed by software, the programs that make up that software are installed onto a computer or other device from a network or recording medium.

The computer may also be a computer that is built into dedicated hardware, or a computer that can execute various functions by installing various programs.
That is, for example, the various hardware in the above-described embodiments may be freely adopted any computer, any mobile terminal such as a smartphone, any game console, etc. Furthermore, any combination of types and contents of various input units and various output units may be adopted.

In addition, the recording medium containing such a program may consist not only of removable media (not shown) provided separately from the device main body in order to provide the program to the player, but also of a recording medium provided to the player in a state where it is pre-installed in the device main body.

In this specification, the steps of writing a program to be recorded on a recording medium may be executed in chronological order, or may be executed in parallel or individually. Also, some of the steps described in the above embodiments may be omitted.

In addition, in this specification, the term "system" refers to an overall device consisting of multiple devices, multiple means, etc.

Even when these other embodiments are adopted, the effects of this embodiment will be achieved. It is also possible to combine this embodiment with other embodiments, and other embodiments with each other, as appropriate.

To sum up, the information processing system to which the present invention is applied can take various forms having the following configurations.
