Description

プログラム、記録媒体、ゲーム装置及びその制御方法Program, recording medium, game device, and control method thereof
　本発明は、プログラム、記録媒体、ゲーム装置及びその制御方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a program, a recording medium, a game device, and a control method thereof.
　従来、ゲーム進行にプレイヤ（遊戯者）の意図を反映させるため、ゲーム内におけるプレイヤキャラクタが会話等の行動をする際に、次にプレイヤキャラクタが発する台詞やプレイヤキャラクタが行なう動作を選択肢として提示し、プレイヤに当該選択肢を選択させるゲームが知られている。 Conventionally, in order to reflect the intention of the player (player) in the progress of the game, when the player character in the game performs an action such as a conversation, the next line that the player character emits and the action that the player character performs are presented as options. A game is known in which a player selects the option.
　一般に、プレイヤに選択肢を選択させる目的とは、選択結果をゲームシナリオや会話の進行等に反映させることであるため、選択作業自体の遊戯性は低いものである。そのため、選択作業の連続は、プレイヤにとってゲームが単調になる要因となりやすい。 Generally, the purpose of causing the player to select an option is to reflect the selection result in the game scenario, the progress of the conversation, etc., so that the playability of the selection work itself is low. Therefore, the continuous selection work tends to be a factor that makes the game monotonous for the player.
　そこで、従来、選択肢を提示する際に制限時間を設けることにより、プレイヤが選択肢を選択する選択作業に高い緊張感を与える工夫がなされている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 Therefore, conventionally, a device has been devised to give a high tension to the selection work for the player to select an option by providing a time limit when presenting the option (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
特開２０００－１４０４３８号公報JP 2000-140438 A
　しかしながら、特許文献１に開示されているゲーム装置では、制限時間が予め所定値に設定されているために、繰り返しプレイをした結果、一旦プレイヤが制限時間付きの選択システムに慣れてしまうと、選択作業における緊張感が薄れるという問題がある。また、プレイヤの選択結果は、ゲームシナリオや会話の進行に影響を与えるものの、選択システム自体に影響を及ぼすことはないため、選択システム自体の遊戯性を高めるには至っていない。 However, since the time limit is set to a predetermined value in advance in the game device disclosed in Patent Document 1, once the player gets used to the selection system with the time limit as a result of repeated play, the selection is made. There is a problem that tension in work is reduced. In addition, although the player's selection results affect the game scenario and the progress of the conversation, they do not affect the selection system itself, so that the playability of the selection system itself has not been improved.
　本発明は、上記課題に鑑みてなされたもので、ゲーム中にプレイヤに選択肢を提示する際に、選択作業の単調さを解消しつつ、プレイヤの選択結果を次回以降の選択システムに対して影響を与えて、選択に対して都度変化を与えることができるゲームのプログラム、記録媒体、ゲーム装置及びその制御方法を提供することを目的とするものである。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems. When presenting options to a player during a game, the selection result of the player is influenced on the selection system from the next time onward, while eliminating the monotonousness of the selection work. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game program, a recording medium, a game device, and a control method thereof that can give a change to a selection each time.
　かかる課題を解決するために本発明は、プレイヤからの選択対象となる選択肢を表示手段に表示させる制御手段と、時間を計測する計時手段と、前記選択肢ごとにそれぞれ対応する所定のパラメータを記憶する記憶手段と、を有するゲーム装置に実行させるためのプログラムであって、前記制御手段に、前記記憶手段から前記選択肢ごとにそれぞれ対応する前記パラメータを読み出す第１のステップと、前記選択肢ごとに、前記対応するパラメータに基づいて、選択可能な時間を決定する第２のステップと、前記計時手段によって、前記選択肢ごとに、前記選択可能な時間を経過したか否かを判定する第３のステップと、前記選択肢ごとに、前記選択可能な時間を経過したか否かを前記表示手段に表示させる第４のステップと、選択可能な時間を経過していないと判定された前記選択肢から、前記プレイヤによっていずれか一つ以上の選択肢が選択された場合に、当該選択された選択肢に関連するいずれか一つ以上の選択肢に対応する前記パラメータを変更する第５のステップと、を実行させることを特徴とする。 In order to solve such a problem, the present invention stores a control means for displaying on the display means choices to be selected by the player, a time measuring means for measuring time, and a predetermined parameter corresponding to each of the choices. A storage unit, and a program for causing the game device to execute the first step of reading the parameter corresponding to each of the options from the storage unit to the control unit, and for each of the options, A second step of determining a selectable time based on a corresponding parameter; and a third step of determining whether or not the selectable time has passed for each of the options by the time measuring means; A fourth step of displaying on the display means whether or not the selectable time has passed for each option; and selectable When one or more options are selected by the player from the options determined to have not passed, the one corresponding to one or more options related to the selected option is selected. And a fifth step of changing the parameter.
　また、本発明は、プレイヤからの選択対象となる選択肢を表示手段に表示させる制御手段と、時間を計測する計時手段と、前記選択肢ごとにそれぞれ対応する所定のパラメータを記憶する記憶手段と、を有するゲーム装置に実行させるためのプログラムを記録したコンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体であって、前記制御手段に、前記記憶手段から前記選択肢ごとにそれぞれ対応する前記パラメータを読み出す第１のステップと、前記選択肢ごとに、前記対応するパラメータに基づいて、選択可能な時間を決定する第２のステップと、前記計時手段によって、前記選択肢ごとに、前記選択可能な時間を経過したか否かを判定する第３のステップと、前記選択肢ごとに、前記選択可能な時間を経過したか否かを前記表示手段に表示させる第４のステップと、選択可能な時間を経過していないと判定された前記選択肢から、前記プレイヤによっていずれか一つ以上の選択肢が選択された場合に、当該選択された選択肢に関連するいずれか一つ以上の選択肢に対応する前記パラメータを変更する第５のステップと、を実行させることを特徴とする。 The present invention also includes a control means for displaying on the display means options to be selected from the player, a time measuring means for measuring time, and a storage means for storing predetermined parameters corresponding to each of the options. A computer-readable recording medium that records a program to be executed by a game device having the first step of reading the parameter corresponding to each option from the storage unit to the control unit, and the option And a second step of determining a selectable time based on the corresponding parameter, and a third step of determining whether the selectable time has passed for each of the options by the time measuring means.

The input unit 3 forms a user interface in combination with the output unit 4 described later. The input unit 3 is typically composed of a plurality of buttons (keys), but is not limited to this. When a predetermined button is operated (for example, pressed) by the player, the input unit 3 outputs an operation signal corresponding to the button to the I / O controller 25 of the control unit 2. The I / O controller 25 receives an operation signal given from the input unit 3, converts it into data inside the system, and outputs it to the processor core 21.
　出力ユニット４は、遊戯者の入力ユニット３に対する操作に応じて、遊戯者にゲーム画像及びゲーム音を提供するための出力デバイスである。出力ユニット４は、典型的には、ディスプレイ４１（表示手段）及びスピーカ４２によって構成されるが、これに限定されるものではない。例えば、遊戯者に振動を伝えるバイブレーションモジュールを出力ユニット４に含めることもできる。ディスプレイ４１は、グラフィックスエンジン２３からのビデオ信号に基づいて、画像を画面上に表示する。ディスプレイ４１としては、例えば、ＴＦＴ液晶ディスプレイを採用することができるが、これに限定されるものではない。スピーカ４２は、サウンドエンジン２４からのオーディオ信号に基づいて、音を発生させる。 The output unit 4 is an output device for providing game images and game sounds to the player in accordance with the player's operation on the input unit 3.

（選択画像における選択肢ごとの制限時間変更機能の概要）
　次に、本実施形態のゲーム装置１がゲームプログラム２２Ａを実行することにより実現する選択肢ごとの制限時間変更機能の概要について、以下に簡単に説明する。 (Overview of the time limit change function for each option in the selected image)
Next, an outline of the time limit changing function for each option realized by the game apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment executing the game program 22A will be briefly described below.
　本実施形態のゲームは、ゲーム進行にプレイヤ（遊戯者）の意図を反映させるために、ゲーム内における他のキャラクタとの会話や、問いに対する回答、クイズゲームにおけるジャンルの選択、キャラクタが使用する武器や技の選択、戦闘において共に敵を攻撃する協力キャラクタの選択、その他プレイヤキャラクタが種々の行動をする際に、次にプレイヤキャラクタが発する台詞や、回答、ジャンル、協力キャラクタ、プレイヤキャラクタが行なう動作を複数の選択肢として提示し、プレイヤに当該複数の選択肢のうち、所定の選択肢を選択させるゲームである。 In the game of this embodiment, in order to reflect the intention of the player (player) in the game progress, conversation with other characters in the game, answers to questions, genre selection in quiz games, weapons used by characters Action or skill selection, selection of cooperative characters that attack the enemy together in battle, and other actions that are performed by the player character when the player character performs various actions, responses, genres, cooperative characters, and actions performed by the player character Is presented as a plurality of options, and the player is allowed to select a predetermined option among the plurality of options.
　ここで、本実施形態のゲームは、複数の選択肢ごとにそれぞれ対応するパラメータ２２Ｃに基づき、複数の選択肢ごとに、プレイヤが選択可能な制限時間を設定し、複数の選択肢からいずれか一つの選択肢が選択された場合に、当該選択結果に基づいてパラメータ２２Ｃを変更することを特徴とする。 Here, in the game of the present embodiment, a time limit that can be selected by the player is set for each of the plurality of options based on the parameter 22C corresponding to each of the plurality of options, and any one option is selected from the plurality of options. When selected, the parameter 22C is changed based on the selection result.
（選択画像における選択肢ごとの制限時間変更処理）
　次に、本実施形態のゲーム装置１における制御ユニット２のプロセッサコア２１の動作について詳細に説明する。図３及び図４は、本実施形態のゲーム装置１におけるプロセッサコア２１の選択画像における選択肢ごとの制限時間変更処理手順ＲＴ１を示すフローチャートである。 (Time limit change processing for each option in the selected image)
Next, the operation of the processor core 21 of the control unit 2 in the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment will be described in detail. 3 and 4 are flowcharts showing a time limit changing process procedure RT1 for each option in the selected image of the processor core 21 in the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment.
　プロセッサコア２１は、プレイヤに複数の選択肢を選択させるための選択画像５１（後述）をディスプレイ４１に表示する場合、選択画像における選択肢ごとの制限時間変更処理ＲＴ１を開始し、ディスプレイ４１に表示する複数の選択肢データ２２Ｂ及び当該複数の選択肢データ２２Ｂごとにそれぞれ対応したパラメータ２２Ｃをメモリモジュール２２から読み出す（ステップＳＰ１）。 When the processor core 21 displays a selection image 51 (to be described later) for allowing the player to select a plurality of options on the display 41, the processor core 21 starts a time limit changing process RT1 for each option in the selected image and displays the plurality of options on the display 41. Are read from the memory module 22 (step SP1).
　ここで、具体的に、例えば、ゲーム内における他のキャラクタとの会話の場面では、複数の選択肢データ２２Ｂは、他のキャラクタの会話に対して次にプレイヤキャラクタが発する台詞であり、パラメータ２２Ｃは、プレイヤキャラクタの性格等と次にプレイヤキャラクタが発する台詞の内容との関連性を数値化したものである。また、例えば、問いに対する回答の場面では、複数の選択肢データ２２Ｂは、回答であり、パラメータ２２Ｃは、プレイヤキャラクタの性格等と回答の内容との関連性を数値化したものである。この場合、例えば、プレイヤキャラクタの性格がポジティブな場合には、ポジティブな回答のパラメータ２２Ｃが高くなり、ネガティブな回答のパラメータ２２Ｃが低くなる。さらに、例えば、クイズゲームにおけるジャンルの選択の場面では、複数の選択肢データ２２Ｂは、ジャンルであり、パラメータ２２Ｃは、プレイヤキャラクタの得意なジャンルとの関連性を数値化したものである。さらに、例えば、キャラクタが使用する武器や技の選択の場面では、複数の選択肢データ２２Ｂはキャラクタが使用する武器又は、技であり、パラメータ２２Ｃは、プレイヤキャラクタの各武器や技に対する熟練度、使用頻度等を数値化したものである。さらに、例えば、戦闘において共に敵を攻撃する協力キャラクタの選択の場面では、複数の選択肢データ２２Ｂは、共に行動する協力キャラクタであり、パラメータ２２Ｃは、協力キャラクタのプレイヤキャラクタに対する好感度を数値化したものである。 Here, specifically, for example, in a scene of conversation with another character in the game, the plurality of option data 22B is a dialogue that the player character next utters for the conversation of the other character, and the parameter 22C is The relationship between the personality of the player character and the content of the dialogue that the player character will emit next is quantified. Further, for example, in the answer scene to the question, the plurality of option data 22B is an answer, and the parameter 22C is a numerical value of the relationship between the character of the player character and the content of the answer. In this case, for example, when the character of the player character is positive, the positive answer parameter 22C is high, and the negative answer parameter 22C is low. Furthermore, for example, in a genre selection scene in a quiz game, the plurality of option data 22B is a genre, and the parameter 22C is a numerical value of the relevance of the player character's specialty genre. Further, for example, in the scene of selection of weapons and techniques used by the character, the plurality of option data 22B are weapons or techniques used by the character, and the parameter 22C indicates the skill level and usage of each weapon and technique of the player character. This is a numerical representation of the frequency. Further, for example, in the case of selecting a cooperation character that attacks both enemies in a battle, the plurality of option data 22B are cooperation characters that act together, and the parameter 22C quantifies the likability of the cooperation character with respect to the player character. Is.
　続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、読み出したすべての選択肢データ２２Ｂのパラメータ２２Ｃを参照する（ステップＳＰ２）。続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、読み出したすべてのパラメータ２２Ｃと所定の基準値とを比較し、当該選択肢データ２２Ｂのうち、パラメータ２２Ｃの値が所定の基準値以下の選択肢データ２２Ｂが存在するか否かをチェックする（ステップＳＰ３）。 Subsequently, the processor core 21 refers to the parameters 22C of all the read option data 22B (step SP2). Subsequently, the processor core 21 compares all the read parameters 22C with a predetermined reference value, and among the selection data 22B, whether or not there is option data 22B having a parameter 22C value equal to or less than the predetermined reference value. Is checked (step SP3).
　そして、プロセッサコア２１は、パラメータ２２Ｃの値が所定の基準値以下の選択肢データ２２Ｂが存在する場合（ステップＳＰ３：ＹＥＳ）には、パラメータ２２Ｃが所定の基準値以下の選択肢データ２２Ｂを選択対象から除外する（ステップＳＰ４）。この場合、プロセッサコア２１は、例えば、パラメータ２２Ｃが所定の基準値以下の選択肢データ２２Ｂに基づく選択肢をディスプレイ４１に表示させないようにしたり、当該選択肢をプレイヤに選択できない状態にしてディスプレイ４１に表示させたりする。これに対して、プロセッサコア２１は、パラメータ２２Ｃの値が所定の基準値以下の選択肢データ２２Ｂが存在しない場合（ステップＳＰ３：ＮＯ）には、ステップＳＰ５に進む。 When there is option data 22B in which the value of the parameter 22C is equal to or smaller than the predetermined reference value (step SP3: YES), the processor core 21 selects the option data 22B whose parameter 22C is equal to or smaller than the predetermined reference value from the selection target. Exclude (step SP4). In this case, for example, the processor core 21 prevents the option based on the option data 22B having the parameter 22C equal to or less than a predetermined reference value from being displayed on the display 41, or causes the player to select the option so that the option cannot be displayed on the display 41. Or On the other hand, the processor core 21 proceeds to step SP5 when there is no option data 22B in which the value of the parameter 22C is equal to or smaller than a predetermined reference value (step SP3: NO).
　続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、読み出したパラメータ２２Ｃの値に基づいて、当該パラメータ２２Ｃに対応する選択肢データ２２Ｂに基づく選択肢をプレイヤに対して選択可能にしておく時間である制限時間を、当該選択肢データ２２Ｂごとに決定する（ステップＳＰ５）。この場合、プロセッサコア２１は、パラメータ２２Ｃの値が高いほど制限時間を長く設定する。 Subsequently, based on the read value of the parameter 22C, the processor core 21 sets a time limit for allowing the player to select an option based on the option data 22B corresponding to the parameter 22C. Each 22B is determined (step SP5). In this case, the processor core 21 sets the time limit to be longer as the value of the parameter 22C is higher.
　続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、選択肢データ２２Ｂに基づく選択肢をディスプレイ４１に表示するに際して、当該選択肢の配置位置をランダムに決定する（ステップＳＰ６）。続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、複数の選択肢データ２２Ｂ及び当該複数の選択肢データ２２Ｂに対応するプレイデータ、グラフィックデータ等に各種のグラフィック処理をグラフィックスエンジン２３に行わせて画像データを生成させ、画像データに基づく選択画像５１をディスプレイ４１に表示させる（ステップＳＰ７）。 Subsequently, when the processor core 21 displays the option based on the option data 22B on the display 41, the processor core 21 randomly determines an arrangement position of the option (step SP6). Subsequently, the processor core 21 causes the graphics engine 23 to perform various graphic processing on the plurality of option data 22B and play data, graphic data, and the like corresponding to the plurality of option data 22B, thereby generating image data. The selected image 51 based on the data is displayed on the display 41 (step SP7).
　図５は、本実施形態における選択画像の説明に供する概念図であり、具体的には、ディスプレイ４１の表示画面に複数の選択肢が表示された、当該複数の選択肢をプレイヤに選択させるためのゲーム画像５１（選択画像５１）である。選択画像５１は、メッセージ表示枠５２及び選択肢表示枠５３を含んで構成される。 FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the selected image in the present embodiment.

　具体的に、例えば、ゲーム内における他のキャラクタとの会話の場面では、プロセッサコア２１は、メッセージ表示枠５２に表示された「おはよう」という他のキャラクタの台詞に対して、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｄには、例えば、選択肢５４Ａとして「おはようございます」、選択肢５４Ｂとして「ありがとうございます」、選択肢５４Ｃとして「こんばんは」、選択肢５４Ｄとして「無言」などの選択肢を表示させる。また、例えば、問いに対する回答の場面では、プロセッサコア２１は、メッセージ表示枠５２に表示された「これは何ですか？」という問いに対して、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｄには、例えば、選択肢５４Ａとして「机」、選択肢５４Ｂとして「椅子」、選択肢５４Ｃとして「テレビ台」、選択肢５４Ｄとして「いずれでもない」などの選択肢を表示させる。さらに、例えば、クイズゲームにおけるジャンルの選択の場面では、プロセッサコア２１は、メッセージ表示枠５２に表示された「どのジャンルを選びますか？」というメッセージに対して、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｄには、例えば、選択肢５４Ａとして「芸能」、選択肢５４Ｂとして「自然科学」、選択肢５４Ｃとして「数学」、選択肢５４Ｄとして「いずれでもない」などのジャンルの名称を示す選択肢を表示させる。さらに、例えば、キャラクタが使用する武器や技の選択の場面では、では、プロセッサコア２１は、メッセージ表示枠５２に表示された「どの武器を装備しますか？」というメッセージに対して、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｄには、例えば、選択肢５４Ａとして「剣」、選択肢５４Ｂとして「斧」、選択肢５４Ｃとして「鞭」、選択肢５４Ｄとして「何も装備しない」などの協力キャラクタの名前を示す選択肢を表示させる。さらに、例えば、戦闘において共に敵を攻撃する協力キャラクタの選択の場面では、プロセッサコア２１は、メッセージ表示枠５２に表示された「どの協力キャラクタと攻撃しますか？」というメッセージに対して、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｄには、例えば、選択肢５４Ａとして「キャラクタＡ」、選択肢５４Ｂとして「キャラクタＢ」、選択肢５４Ｃとして「キャラクタＣ」、選択肢５４Ｄとして「中止」などの協力キャラクタの名前を示す選択肢を表示させる。 Specifically, for example, in a scene of conversation with another character in the game, the processor core 21 has a plurality of options 54A to 54A for the other character dialogue “Good morning” displayed in the message display frame 52. 54D displays, for example, “Good morning” as the option 54A, “Thank you” as the option 54B, “Good evening” as the option 54C, and “Mute” as the option 54D. Also, for example, in the case of an answer to a question, the processor core 21 may, for example, select a plurality of options 54A to 54D in response to the question “What is this?” Displayed in the message display frame 52. Options such as “desk” as 54A, “chair” as option 54B, “TV stand” as option 54C, and “none” as option 54D are displayed. Further, for example, in the genre selection scene in the quiz game, the processor core 21 has a plurality of options 54A to 54D in response to the message “Which genre do you want to select?” Displayed in the message display frame 52. For example, an option indicating the name of a genre such as “entertainment” as the option 54A, “natural science” as the option 54B, “mathematics” as the option 54C, and “none” as the option 54D is displayed. Further, for example, in the scene of selection of weapons and techniques used by the character, the processor core 21 responds to a message “Which weapons do you equip?” Displayed in the message display frame 52 with a plurality of messages. In the options 54A to 54D, for example, an option indicating the name of the cooperation character such as “sword” as the option 54A, “ax” as the option 54B, “whipping” as the option 54C, “equipment nothing” as the option 54D is displayed. Let Further, for example, in the case of selecting a cooperation character that attacks the enemy together in battle, the processor core 21 responds to a message “Which cooperation character will you attack?” Displayed in the message display frame 52. The options 54A to 54D include, for example, options indicating the name of the cooperative character, such as “Character A” as the option 54A, “Character B” as the option 54B, “Character C” as the option 54C, and “Cancel” as the option 54D. Display.
　制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃは、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃにそれぞれ対応して設けられており、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃを選択させる制限時間をプレイヤに認識させるための時計である。プロセッサコア２１は、制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃの時針を時計回りに回転させ、時計回りに一回りすると、制限時間が経過するように制御する。すなわち、プロセッサコア２１は、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃが高い場合には、制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃの時針を、ゆっくりと時計回りに回転させる。一方、プロセッサコア２１は、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃが低い場合には、制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃの時針を、高速で時計回りに回転させる。そして、プロセッサコア２１は、制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃの時針が時計回りに一回りして制限時間が経過すると、例えば、制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃに対応する複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃをプレイヤに選択できない状態にしてディスプレイ４１に表示させる。なお、選択肢５４Ｄの制限時間は、制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃのうち、最も長い制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃの制限時間と同一の制限時間に設定される。従って、選択肢５４Ｄは、制限時間時計を有していないが、実施形態によっては選択肢５４Ｄにも制限時間時計５５Ｄを設けるようにしても良い。 The time limit clocks 55A to 55C are provided corresponding to the plurality of options 54A to 54C, respectively, and are clocks for allowing the player to recognize the time limit for selecting the plurality of options 54A to 54C. The processor core 21 performs control so that the time limit elapses when the hour hand of the time limit clocks 55A to 55C is rotated clockwise and turned clockwise once. That is, when the parameter 22C corresponding to the plurality of options 54A to 54C is high, the processor core 21 slowly rotates the hour hand of the time limit clocks 55A to 55C clockwise. On the other hand, when the parameter 22C corresponding to the plurality of options 54A to 54C is low, the processor core 21 rotates the hour hand of the time limit clocks 55A to 55C clockwise at high speed. Then, when the time limit elapses when the hour hand of the time limit clocks 55A to 55C rotates clockwise, the processor core 21 selects a plurality of options 54A to 54C corresponding to the time limit clocks 55A to 55C, for example. Incapable of being displayed on the display 41. The time limit of the option 54D is set to the same time limit as that of the longest time limit clocks 55A to 55C among the time limit clocks 55A to 55C. Therefore, the option 54D does not have a time limit clock, but in some embodiments, the option 54D may be provided with the time limit clock 55D.
　ボタン操作表示欄５６は、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｄの選択を操作するための入力ユニット３のボタン等が表示されたものである。具体的に、プロセッサコア２１は、ボタン操作表示欄５６に、例えば、入力ユニット３の十字キー及び左方向、上方向、右方向、下方向の矢印を表示させる。そして、プロセッサコア２１は、入力ユニット３の十字キーの左方向が押下された場合には、選択肢５４Ａ（選択肢Ａ）が選択されたと認識する。また、プロセッサコア２１は、入力ユニット３の十字キーの上方向が押下された場合には、選択肢５４Ｂ（選択肢Ｂ）が選択されたと認識する。さらに、プロセッサコア２１は、入力ユニット３の十字キーの右方向が押下された場合には、選択肢５４Ｃ（選択肢Ｃ）が選択されたと認識する。さらに、プロセッサコア２１は、入力ユニット３の十字キーの下方向が押下された場合には、選択肢５４Ｄ（選択肢Ｄ）が選択されたと認識する。 The button operation display field 56 displays buttons and the like of the input unit 3 for operating selection of a plurality of options 54A to 54D. Specifically, the processor core 21 causes the button operation display field 56 to display, for example, the cross key of the input unit 3 and the left, up, right, and down arrows. Then, the processor core 21 recognizes that the option 54A (option A) has been selected when the left direction of the cross key of the input unit 3 is pressed. Further, the processor core 21 recognizes that the option 54B (option B) has been selected when the upward direction of the cross key of the input unit 3 is pressed. Further, the processor core 21 recognizes that the option 54C (option C) has been selected when the right direction of the cross key of the input unit 3 is pressed. Further, the processor core 21 recognizes that the option 54D (option D) has been selected when the downward direction of the cross key of the input unit 3 is pressed.
　図３に戻り、続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、所定のタイマ等により時間を計時する計時機能（計時手段）を用いて、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃがディスプレイ４１に表示開始されてから経過した時間である経過時間の計測を、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃごとに開始して、制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃの時針を時計回りに回転させる（ステップＳＰ８）。 Returning to FIG. 3, subsequently, the processor core 21 uses the time measuring function (time measuring means) for measuring time by a predetermined timer or the like, and the time elapsed after the plurality of options 54A to 54C are displayed on the display 41. Is started for each of the plurality of options 54A to 54C, and the hour hands of the time limit clocks 55A to 55C are rotated clockwise (step SP8).
　続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、プレイヤの入力ユニット３の操作により複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｄのうち、所定の時間内にいずれか一つの選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｄが選択されたか否かをチェックする（ステップＳＰ９）。 Subsequently, the processor core 21 checks whether any one of the plurality of options 54A to 54D is selected within a predetermined time by the player's operation of the input unit 3 (step SP9). ).
　そして、プロセッサコア２１は、所定の時間内に選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃのいずれか一つの選択肢が選択された場合（ステップＳＰ９：ＹＥＳ）、選択された選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃを増加させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶する（ステップＳＰ１０）。続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、選択されなかった選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃを減少させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶し、（ステップＳＰ１１）、その後、図３及び図４に示す選択画像における選択肢ごとの制限時間変更処理手順ＲＴ１を終了する（ステップＳＰ１７）。 If any one of the options 54A to 54C is selected within a predetermined time (step SP9: YES), the processor core 21 increases the parameter 22C corresponding to the selected options 54A to 54C. The memory module 22 is overwritten and stored (step SP10). Subsequently, the processor core 21 reduces the parameter 22C corresponding to the unselected options 54A to 54C and overwrites and stores the parameter 22C in the memory module 22 (step SP11), and thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. The time limit change processing procedure RT1 for each option in the selected image is terminated (step SP17).
　これに対して、プロセッサコア２１は、所定の時間内にいずれか一つの選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃが選択されなかった場合（ステップＳＰ９：ＮＯ）には、所定の時間内に選択肢５４Ｄが選択されたか否かをチェックする（ステップＳＰ１２）。そして、プロセッサコア２１は、所定の時間内に選択肢５４Ｄが選択された場合（ステップＳＰ１２：ＹＥＳ）には、いずれの選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃも変更せずに、その後、図３及び図４に示す選択画像における選択肢ごとの制限時間変更処理を終了する（ステップＳＰ１７）。 On the other hand, if any one of the options 54A to 54C is not selected within a predetermined time (step SP9: NO), the processor core 21 determines whether the option 54D is selected within the predetermined time. Is checked (step SP12). When the option 54D is selected within a predetermined time (step SP12: YES), the processor core 21 does not change the parameter 22C corresponding to any of the options 54A to 54C, and thereafter, FIG. The time limit changing process for each option in the selected image shown in FIG. 4 ends (step SP17).
　これに対して、プロセッサコア２１は、所定の時間内に所定の時間内に選択肢５４Ｄが選択されなかった場合（ステップＳＰ１２：ＮＯ）には、制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃの時針が時計回りに一回りして、制限時間を経過した選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃが存在するか否かをチェックする（ステップＳＰ１３）。そして、プロセッサコア２１は、制限時間を経過した選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃが存在しない場合（ステップＳＰ１３：ＮＯ）には、ステップＳＰ９に戻る。これに対して、プロセッサコア２１は、制限時間を経過した選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃが存在する場合（ステップＳＰ１３：ＹＥＳ）には、制限時間を経過した選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃを選択対象から除外する（ステップＳＰ１４）。この場合、プロセッサコア２１は、例えば、制限時間を経過した選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応する制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃの蓋を閉じて表示させ、制限時間を経過した選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃをプレイヤに選択できない状態にしてディスプレイ４１に表示させる。 On the other hand, when the option 54D is not selected within the predetermined time within the predetermined time (step SP12: NO), the processor core 21 sets the hour hand of the time limit clocks 55A to 55C clockwise. Then, it is checked whether there are options 54A to 54C for which the time limit has passed (step SP13). Then, when there are no options 54A to 54C for which the time limit has passed (step SP13: NO), the processor core 21 returns to step SP9. On the other hand, when there are the options 54A to 54C for which the time limit has elapsed (step SP13: YES), the processor core 21 excludes the options 54A to 54C for which the time limit has elapsed (step SP14). ). In this case, for example, the processor core 21 closes and displays the lids of the time limit clocks 55A to 55C corresponding to the options 54A to 54C for which the time limit has elapsed, and cannot select the options 54A to 54C for which the time limit has elapsed. The state is displayed on the display 41.
　続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、すべての選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃの制限時間が経過したか否かをチェックする（ステップＳＰ１５）。そして、プロセッサコア２１は、すべての選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃの制限時間が経過していない場合（ステップＳＰ１５：ＮＯ）には、ステップＳＰ９に戻る。これに対して、プロセッサコア２１は、すべての選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃの制限時間が経過した場合（ステップＳＰ１５：ＹＥＳ）には、いずれの選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃも選択されなかったものとして、選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃを減少させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶し、（ステップＳＰ１６）、その後、図３及び図４に示す選択画像における選択肢ごとの制限時間変更処理を終了する（ステップＳＰ１７）。 Subsequently, the processor core 21 checks whether or not the time limits of all the options 54A to 54C have elapsed (step SP15). The processor core 21 then returns to step SP9 when the time limits of all the options 54A to 54C have not elapsed (step SP15: NO). In contrast, when the time limit of all the options 54A to 54C has elapsed (step SP15: YES), the processor core 21 assumes that none of the options 54A to 54C has been selected, and the options 54A to 54C. Is reduced and stored in the memory module 22 (step SP16), and then the time limit changing process for each option in the selected image shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is terminated (step SP17). ).
（動作及び効果）
　このようにして、ゲーム装置１では、プロセッサコア２１が、複数の選択肢データ２２Ｂごとにそれぞれ対応するパラメータ２２Ｃに基づいて、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃごとに制限時間を設定し、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃごとに経過時間を計測して、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃのうち、いずれか一つの選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃが選択された場合に、選択された選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃを増加させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶する一方、選択されなかった選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃを減少させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶する。また、選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃのうち、いずれかの選択肢も選択されなかった場合に、すべての選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃを減少させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶する。 (Operation and effect)
In this way, in the game apparatus 1, the processor core 21 sets the time limit for each of the plurality of options 54A to 54C based on the parameter 22C corresponding to each of the plurality of option data 22B, and the plurality of options 54A to 54A. The elapsed time is measured every 54C, and when any one of the options 54A to 54C is selected, the parameter 22C corresponding to the selected options 54A to 54C is increased. On the other hand, the memory module 22 is overwritten and stored, while the parameter 22C corresponding to the unselected options 54A to 54C is decreased and the memory module 22 is overwritten and stored. Further, when any of the options 54A to 54C is not selected, the parameter 22C corresponding to all the options 54A to 54C is decreased and overwritten and stored in the memory module 22.
　従って、プレイヤの選択結果を反映して、選択された選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃが増加する一方、選択されなかった選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃが減少する。また、制限時間内に選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃのいずれも選択されなかった場合には、すべての選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃが減少する。そして、次回、選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃを選択する際には、複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃの制限時間を変更することができる。これにより、ゲーム中にプレイヤに選択肢を提示する際に、選択作業の単調さを解消しつつ、プレイヤの選択結果を次回以降の選択システムに対して影響を与えて、選択に対して都度変化を与えることができ、かくして、ゲーム中にプレイヤに選択肢を提示するゲームにおいて、選択の度に制限時間が変更されることで選択作業の遊戯性を高めることができる。 Therefore, reflecting the selection result of the player, the parameter 22C corresponding to the selected options 54A to 54C increases, while the parameter 22C corresponding to the unselected options 54A to 54C decreases. If none of the options 54A to 54C is selected within the time limit, the parameter 22C corresponding to all the options 54A to 54C decreases. Then, the next time the options 54A to 54C are selected, the time limit for the plurality of options 54A to 54C can be changed. As a result, when presenting options to the player during the game, the monotonousness of the selection work is eliminated, and the selection result of the player is affected to the subsequent selection system, and the selection is changed each time. Thus, in a game in which options are presented to the player during the game, the playability of the selection work can be enhanced by changing the time limit for each selection.
　また、従来は制限時間内で択一的に選択肢を選択するしかなかったのに対し、選択肢ごとに制限時間を異ならせる本実施形態の場合には、制限時間内に、制限時間というファクターによって選択幅が段階的に変わることによって、制限時間も加味して選択肢を選択しなければならず、決断力が迫られる共に、緊迫感を演出させることができ、また、最初の選択肢が選択されなかったとしても、例えば、２者択一的な新たな選択の局面を迎えさせることができ、興趣性を一段と高めることができる。 In addition, in the past, in the case of this embodiment in which the time limit is different for each option, the option is selected by a factor of the time limit within the time limit. By changing the width step by step, you have to select an option that takes into account the time limit, making it difficult to make decisions and producing a sense of urgency, and the first option was not selected. Even so, for example, it is possible to enter a new selection of alternatives, and it is possible to further enhance interest.
　また、ゲーム装置１では、プロセッサコア２１が、所定の時間内に選択肢５４Ｄが選択された場合に、いずれの選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃも変更しないことにより、いずれの選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃのパラメータ２２Ｃも減少させたくない場合には、選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃのいずれも選択しないとすることができ、選択作業の遊戯性を一段と高めることができる。 Further, in the game apparatus 1, when the option 54D is selected within a predetermined time, the processor core 21 does not change the parameter 22C corresponding to any of the options 54A to 54C, so that any of the options 54A to 54C is changed. If it is not desired to decrease the parameter 22C, none of the options 54A to 54C can be selected, and the playability of the selection work can be further enhanced.
　さらに、ゲーム装置１では、プロセッサコア２１が、制限時間を経過した選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃが存在する場合に、制限時間を経過した選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃを選択対象から除外することにより、プレイヤが複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃの制限時間内に所望する選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃを選択しなければならず、選択作業の遊戯性を一段と高めることができる。 Further, in the game apparatus 1, when the processor core 21 includes the options 54A to 54C for which the time limit has passed, the player can select a plurality of options by excluding the options 54A to 54C for which the time limit has passed from the selection target. The desired options 54A to 54C must be selected within the time limit of 54A to 54C, and the playability of the selection work can be further enhanced.
　さらに、ゲーム装置１では、プロセッサコア２１が、メモリモジュール２２から読み出したすべての選択肢データ２２Ｂのうち、パラメータ２２Ｃの値が所定の基準値以下の選択肢が存在する場合に、当該選択肢データ２２Ｂを選択対象から除外することにより、プレイヤに自己の好む選択肢を選択対象とすることができるように促すことができ、ゲームに対する興趣性を一段と高めることができる。 Further, in the game apparatus 1, the processor core 21 selects the option data 22B when there is an option whose value of the parameter 22C is equal to or less than a predetermined reference value among all the option data 22B read from the memory module 22. By excluding it from the target, it is possible to prompt the player to select an option that the player prefers as a selection target, and it is possible to further enhance the interest of the game.
　さらに、ゲーム装置１では、プロセッサコア２１が、選択肢データ２２Ｂに基づく選択肢をディスプレイ４１に表示するに際して、当該選択肢の配置位置をランダムに決定することにより、プレイヤが複数の選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃの制限時間内に所望する選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｄを見極めて適切に選択しなければならず、選択作業の遊戯性を一段と高めることができる。 Further, in the game apparatus 1, when the processor core 21 displays the options based on the option data 22B on the display 41, the player determines the arrangement position of the options at random, thereby allowing the player to set a time limit for the plurality of options 54A to 54C. The desired options 54A to 54D must be viewed and selected appropriately, and the playability of the selection work can be further enhanced.
　さらに、ゲーム装置１では、プロセッサコア２１が、制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃの時針を時計回りに回転させ、時計回りに一回りさせると、制限時間が経過するように制御することにより、制限時間時計５５Ａ～５５Ｃの時針のスピードで複数の選択肢データ２２Ｂのパラメータ２２Ｃを認識することができ、一見してどの選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃの制限時間が早く経過するかプレイヤは認識することができないため、選択作業の遊戯性を一段と高めることができる。 Further, in the game apparatus 1, the processor core 21 performs control so that the time limit elapses when the hour hand of the time limit clocks 55A to 55C is rotated clockwise and turned clockwise. Since the parameter 22C of the plurality of option data 22B can be recognized at the speed of the hour hand of 55A to 55C, and the player cannot recognize at a glance which time limit of the options 54A to 54C elapses earlier, the selection work The playability of can be further improved.
（実施例１）

　次に、実施例１のゲーム装置１における制御ユニット２のプロセッサコア２１の動作について詳細に説明する。図６及び図７は、実施例１のゲーム装置１におけるプロセッサコア２１の選択画像における協力キャラクタごとの制限時間変更処理ＲＴ２を示すフローチャートである。 (Time limit changing process for each cooperative character in the selected image of Example 1)
Next, the operation of the processor core 21 of the control unit 2 in the game apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment will be described in detail. 6 and 7 are flowcharts illustrating the time limit changing process RT2 for each cooperative character in the selected image of the processor core 21 in the game apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment.
　プロセッサコア２１は、モンスターとの戦闘が開始されると、選択画像における協力キャラクタごとの制限時間変更処理ＲＴ２を開始し、プレイヤキャラクタの攻撃順序となるのを待機モードで待ち受ける（ステップＳＰ２１）。やがて、プロセッサコア２１は、プレイヤキャラクタの攻撃順序となると（ステップＳＰ２１：ＹＥＳ）、合体攻撃のイベントが行われるか否かをチェックする（ステップＳＰ２２）。この場合、プロセッサコア２１は、例えば、所定の確率で合体攻撃のイベントを出現させる。 When the battle with the monster is started, the processor core 21 starts the time limit changing process RT2 for each cooperative character in the selected image, and waits in the standby mode for the player character's attack order (step SP21). Eventually, the processor core 21 checks whether or not a coalescence attack event is performed (step SP22) when the attack order of the player character is reached (step SP21: YES). In this case, for example, the processor core 21 causes a coalescence attack event to appear with a predetermined probability.
　続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、ディスプレイ４１に表示する複数の協力キャラクタの名称である協力キャラクタデータ（選択肢データ）２２Ｂ及び当該複数の協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂごとにそれぞれ対応した、協力キャラクタのプレイヤキャラクタに対する好感度データ（パラメータ）２２Ｃをメモリモジュール２２から読み出す（ステップＳＰ２３）。 Subsequently, the processor core 21 favors the player character of the cooperation character corresponding to each of the cooperation character data (option data) 22B that is the names of the plurality of cooperation characters displayed on the display 41 and each of the plurality of cooperation character data 22B. Sensitivity data (parameter) 22C is read from the memory module 22 (step SP23).
　続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、読み出したすべての協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂの好感度データ２２Ｃを参照する（ステップＳＰ２４）。続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、読み出したすべての協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂと所定の基準値とを比較し、当該協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂのうち、好感度データ２２Ｃの値が所定の基準値以下の協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂが存在するか否かをチェックする（ステップＳＰ２５）。 Subsequently, the processor core 21 refers to the favorability data 22C of all the read cooperation character data 22B (step SP24). Subsequently, the processor core 21 compares all the read cooperative character data 22B with a predetermined reference value, and among the cooperative character data 22B, the cooperative character data whose value of the preference data 22C is equal to or smaller than the predetermined reference value. It is checked whether or not 22B exists (step SP25).
　そして、プロセッサコア２１は、好感度データ２２Ｃの値が所定の基準値以下の協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂが存在する場合（ステップＳＰ２５：ＹＥＳ）には、好感度データ２２Ｃが所定の基準値以下の協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂを選択対象から除外する（ステップＳＰ２６）。これに対して、プロセッサコア２１は、好感度データ２２Ｃの値が所定の基準値以下の協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂが存在しない場合（ステップＳＰ２５：ＮＯ）には、ステップＳＰ２７に進む。 Then, when there is cooperative character data 22B in which the value of the likability data 22C is equal to or smaller than the predetermined reference value (step SP25: YES), the processor core 21 has the cooperative character whose favorability data 22C is equal to or smaller than the predetermined reference value. The data 22B is excluded from selection targets (step SP26). On the other hand, the processor core 21 proceeds to step SP27 when there is no cooperative character data 22B having a value of the likability data 22C equal to or less than a predetermined reference value (step SP25: NO).
　続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、読み出した好感度データ２２Ｃの値に基づいて、当該好感度データ２２Ｃに対応する協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂに基づく協力キャラクタをプレイヤに対して選択可能にしておく時間である制限時間を、当該協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂごとに設定する（ステップＳＰ２７）。 Subsequently, the processor core 21 is a time that allows the player to select a cooperative character based on the cooperative character data 22B corresponding to the favorable data 22C based on the read value of the favorable data 22C. The time is set for each cooperative character data 22B (step SP27).
　続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂに基づく協力キャラクタをディスプレイ４１に表示するに際して、当該協力キャラクタの配置位置をランダムに決定する（ステップＳＰ２８）。続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、複数の協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂ及び当該複数の協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂに対応するプレイデータ、グラフィックデータ等に各種のグラフィック処理をグラフィックスエンジン２３に行わせて画像データを生成させ、画像データに基づく選択画像６１をディスプレイ４１に表示させる（ステップＳＰ２９）。 Subsequently, when displaying the cooperation character based on the cooperation character data 22B on the display 41, the processor core 21 randomly determines the arrangement position of the cooperation character (step SP28). Subsequently, the processor core 21 causes the graphics engine 23 to perform various graphic processing on the plurality of cooperative character data 22B and play data, graphic data, etc. corresponding to the plurality of cooperative character data 22B to generate image data. The selected image 61 based on the image data is displayed on the display 41 (step SP29).
　図８は、本実施形態における選択画像の説明に供する概念図であり、具体的には、ディスプレイ４１の表示画面に、複数の協力キャラクタが表示された、当該協力キャラクタをプレイヤに選択させるためのゲーム画像６１（選択画像６１）である。選択画像６１は、状態表示枠６２、協力キャラクタ表示枠６３、協力キャラクタ６４及びコメント表示枠６５を含んで構成される。 FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the selected image in this embodiment. Specifically, a plurality of cooperative characters are displayed on the display screen of the display 41, and the player is allowed to select the cooperative character. This is a game image 61 (selected image 61). The selection image 61 includes a state display frame 62, a cooperation character display frame 63, a cooperation character 64, and a comment display frame 65.
　状態表示枠６２は、プレイヤキャラクタ及び協力キャラクタの顔、レベル、ヒットポイント（ＨＰ）、ヒットポイントを表すバー、マジックポイント（ＭＰ）等を表示するための枠である。協力キャラクタ表示枠６３は、複数の協力キャラクタの名称を表示するための枠である。協力キャラクタ表示枠６３は、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃ、中止選択肢６６Ｄ、制限時間時計６７Ａ～６７Ｃ及びボタン操作表示欄６８を含んで構成される。 The state display frame 62 is a frame for displaying the face, level, hit point (HP), hit point bar, magic point (MP), and the like of the player character and the cooperation character. The cooperation character display frame 63 is a frame for displaying names of a plurality of cooperation characters. The cooperation character display frame 63 includes a plurality of cooperation character names 66A to 66C, a stop option 66D, time limit clocks 67A to 67C, and a button operation display column 68.
　複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃは、合体攻撃を実行する協力キャラクタを選択させてプレイヤの意図を反映させるための肢である。具体的に、プロセッサコア２１は、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃに、例えば、「キャラクタＡ」、「キャラクタＢ」、「キャラクタＣ」などの協力キャラクタの名称を表示させる。中止選択肢６６Ｄは、協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃのいずれも選択せずに１人攻撃を実施するというプレイヤの意図を反映させるための肢である。具体的に、プロセッサコア２１は、中止選択肢６６Ｄとして、例えば「中止」等と表示させる。 The plurality of cooperation character names 66A to 66C are limbs for selecting the cooperation character that performs the combined attack and reflecting the intention of the player. Specifically, the processor core 21 displays the names of cooperative characters such as “Character A”, “Character B”, and “Character C” on the multiple cooperative character names 66A to 66C. The stop option 66D is a limb for reflecting the player's intention to execute a one-person attack without selecting any of the cooperation character names 66A to 66C. Specifically, the processor core 21 displays, for example, “stop” as the stop option 66D.
　制限時間時計６７Ａ～６７Ｃは、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃにそれぞれ対応して設けられており、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃを選択させる制限時間をプレイヤに認識させるための時計である。ボタン操作表示欄６８は、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃを選択するための入力ユニット３のボタン等が表示されたものである。具体的に、プロセッサコア２１は、ボタン操作表示欄６８に、例えば、入力ユニット３の十字キー及び左方向、上方向、右方向、下方向の矢印を表示させる。そして、プロセッサコア２１は、入力ユニット３の十字キーの左方向が押下された場合には、協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ（キャラクタＡ）が選択され、キャラクタＡとの合体攻撃が選択されたと認識する。また、プロセッサコア２１は、入力ユニット３の十字キーの上方向が押下された場合には、協力キャラクタ名称６６Ｂ（キャラクタＢ）が選択され、キャラクタＢとの合体攻撃が選択されたと認識する。さらに、プロセッサコア２１は、入力ユニット３の十字キーの右方向が押下された場合には、協力キャラクタ名称６６Ｃ（キャラクタＣ）が選択され、キャラクタＣとの合体攻撃が選択されたと認識する。さらに、プロセッサコア２１は、入力ユニット３の十字キーの下方向が押下された場合には、協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃのいずれも選択されずに、１人攻撃が選択されたと認識する。 The time limit clocks 67A to 67C are provided corresponding to the plurality of cooperation character names 66A to 66C, respectively, and are clocks for allowing the player to recognize the time limit for selecting the plurality of cooperation character names 66A to 66C. The button operation display field 68 displays buttons and the like of the input unit 3 for selecting a plurality of cooperative character names 66A to 66C. Specifically, the processor core 21 causes the button operation display field 68 to display, for example, the cross key of the input unit 3 and the left, up, right, and down arrows. Then, when the left direction of the cross key of the input unit 3 is pressed, the processor core 21 recognizes that the cooperative character name 66A (character A) is selected, and that the combined attack with the character A is selected. Further, when the upward direction of the cross key of the input unit 3 is pressed, the processor core 21 recognizes that the cooperative character name 66B (character B) is selected and the combined attack with the character B is selected. Further, when the right direction of the cross key of the input unit 3 is pressed, the processor core 21 recognizes that the cooperative character name 66C (character C) is selected and the combined attack with the character C is selected. Furthermore, when the downward direction of the cross key of the input unit 3 is pressed, the processor core 21 recognizes that one person attack is selected without selecting any of the cooperation character names 66A to 66C.
　協力キャラクタ６４は、複数の協力キャラクタ６４Ａ～６４Ｃにより構成されている。複数の協力キャラクタ６４Ａ～６４Ｃは、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃにそれぞれ対応して設けられており、それぞれの協力キャラクタの容姿を示す画像が表示される。コメント表示枠６５は、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃのうち、所定の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃのコメントを表示するための枠である。具体的に、例えば、プロセッサコア２１は、コメント表示枠６５に、「私と一緒に攻撃しましょう！」のように、プレイヤに合体攻撃を促させるようなコメントや、プレイヤの選択を迷わせるようなコメントを表示させる。 The cooperation character 64 is composed of a plurality of cooperation characters 64A to 64C. The plurality of cooperation characters 64A to 64C are provided corresponding to the plurality of cooperation character names 66A to 66C, respectively, and an image showing the appearance of each cooperation character is displayed. The comment display frame 65 is a frame for displaying comments of predetermined cooperation character names 66A to 66C among the plurality of cooperation character names 66A to 66C. Specifically, for example, the processor core 21 causes the comment display frame 65 to be confused about a comment that prompts the player to make a combined attack, such as “Let's attack with me!”, Or the player's selection. To display simple comments.
　図７に戻り、続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、所定のタイマ等により時間を計時する計時機能を用いて、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃがディスプレイ４１に表示開始されてから経過した時間である経過時間の計測を、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃごとに開始して、制限時間時計６７Ａ～６７Ｃの時針を時計回りに回転させる（ステップＳＰ３０）。 Returning to FIG. 7, subsequently, the processor core 21 is a time that has elapsed since the display of the plurality of cooperative character names 66 </ b> A to 66 </ b> C on the display 41 by using a clocking function for clocking time by a predetermined timer or the like. The elapsed time measurement is started for each of the plurality of cooperation character names 66A to 66C, and the hour hands of the time limit clocks 67A to 67C are rotated clockwise (step SP30).
　続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、プレイヤの入力ユニット３の操作により複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃのうち、所定の時間内にいずれか一つの協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃが選択されたか否かをチェックする（ステップＳＰ３１）。 Subsequently, the processor core 21 checks whether any one of the plurality of cooperation character names 66A to 66C is selected within a predetermined time by operating the input unit 3 of the player. (Step SP31).
　そして、プロセッサコア２１は、所定の時間内にいずれか一つの協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃが選択された場合（ステップＳＰ３１：ＹＥＳ）には、選択された協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃに対応する好感度データ２２Ｃを増加させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶する（ステップＳＰ３２）。続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、選択されなかった協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃに対応する好感度データ２２Ｃを減少させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶する（ステップＳＰ３３）。続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、プレイヤキャラクタと選択された協力キャラクタ６４Ａ～６４Ｃとの合体攻撃を実行し（ステップＳＰ３４）、その後、図６及び図７に示す選択画像における協力キャラクタごとの制限時間変更処理手順ＲＴ２を終了する（ステップＳＰ４１）。 Then, when any one of the cooperation character names 66A to 66C is selected within a predetermined time (step SP31: YES), the processor core 21 favors the corresponding cooperation character name 66A to 66C. The data 22C is increased and overwritten and stored in the memory module 22 (step SP32). Subsequently, the processor core 21 reduces the likability data 22C corresponding to the cooperation character names 66A to 66C that have not been selected, and overwrites and stores them in the memory module 22 (step SP33). Subsequently, the processor core 21 executes a combined attack between the player character and the selected cooperative characters 64A to 64C (step SP34), and then changes the time limit for each cooperative character in the selected images shown in FIGS. The processing procedure RT2 is terminated (step SP41).
　これに対して、プロセッサコア２１は、所定の時間内にいずれか一つの協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃが選択されなかった場合（ステップＳＰ３１：ＮＯ）には、所定の時間内に中止選択肢６６Ｄが選択され、１人攻撃が選択されたか否かをチェックする（ステップＳＰ３５）。そして、プロセッサコア２１は、所定の時間内に中止選択肢６６Ｄが選択され、１人攻撃が選択された場合（ステップＳＰ３５：ＹＥＳ）には、プレイヤキャラクタ単体の１人攻撃を実行し（ステップＳＰ４０）、その後、図６及び図７に示す選択画像における協力キャラクタごとの制限時間変更処理手順ＲＴ２を終了する（ステップＳＰ４１）。 On the other hand, if any one of the cooperation character names 66A to 66C is not selected within the predetermined time (step SP31: NO), the processor core 21 selects the cancel option 66D within the predetermined time. Then, it is checked whether or not a one-person attack has been selected (step SP35). Then, when the cancel option 66D is selected within a predetermined time and the single person attack is selected (step SP35: YES), the processor core 21 executes the single attack of the player character alone (step SP40). Thereafter, the time limit changing process procedure RT2 for each cooperative character in the selected image shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is terminated (step SP41).
　これに対して、プロセッサコア２１は、所定の時間内に中止選択肢６６Ｄが選択されず、１人攻撃が選択されなかった場合（ステップＳＰ３５：ＮＯ）には、制限時間時計６７Ａ～６７Ｃの時針が時計回りに一回りして、制限時間を経過した協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃが存在するか否かをチェックする（ステップＳＰ３６）。そして、プロセッサコア２１は、制限時間を経過した協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃが存在しない場合（ステップＳＰ３６：ＮＯ）には、ステップＳＰ３１に戻る。これに対して、プロセッサコア２１は、制限時間を経過した協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃが存在する場合（ステップＳＰ３６：ＹＥＳ）には、制限時間を経過した協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃを選択対象から除外する（ステップＳＰ３７）。 On the other hand, when the cancel option 66D is not selected within a predetermined time and the one-person attack is not selected (step SP35: NO), the processor core 21 sets the hour hand of the time limit clocks 67A to 67C. Turning clockwise, it is checked whether or not there are cooperating character names 66A to 66C that have passed the time limit (step SP36). Then, when there is no cooperation character name 66A to 66C for which the time limit has passed (step SP36: NO), the processor core 21 returns to step SP31. On the other hand, the processor core 21 excludes the cooperation character names 66A to 66C whose time limit has passed from the selection target when the cooperation character names 66A to 66C for which the time limit has passed (step SP36: YES). (Step SP37).
　続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、すべての協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃの制限時間が経過したか否かをチェックする（ステップＳＰ３８）。そして、プロセッサコア２１は、すべての協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃの制限時間が経過していない場合（ステップＳＰ３８：ＮＯ）には、ステップＳＰ３１に戻る。これに対して、プロセッサコア２１は、すべての協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃの制限時間が経過した場合（ステップＳＰ３８：ＹＥＳ）には、すべての協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃに対応する好感度データ２２Ｃを減少させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶する（ステップＳＰ３９）。続いて、プロセッサコア２１は、プレイヤキャラクタ単体の１人攻撃を実行し（ステップＳＰ４０）、その後、図６及び図７に示す選択画像における協力キャラクタごとの制限時間変更処理手順ＲＴ２を終了する（ステップＳＰ４１）。 Subsequently, the processor core 21 checks whether or not the time limit for all the cooperation character names 66A to 66C has elapsed (step SP38). If the time limit for all the cooperation character names 66A to 66C has not elapsed (step SP38: NO), the processor core 21 returns to step SP31. On the other hand, when the time limit of all the cooperation character names 66A to 66C has elapsed (step SP38: YES), the processor core 21 stores the favorable data 22C corresponding to all the cooperation character names 66A to 66C. Decrease and overwrite the memory module 22 for storage (step SP39). Subsequently, the processor core 21 executes a single attack of the player character alone (step SP40), and then ends the time limit changing process procedure RT2 for each cooperative character in the selected images shown in FIGS. SP41).
（実施例１の動作及び効果）
　このようにして、ゲーム装置１では、プロセッサコア２１が、複数の協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂごとにそれぞれ対応する好感度データ２２Ｃに基づいて、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃごとに制限時間を設定し、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃごとに経過時間を計測して、複数の協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃのうち、いずれか一つの協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃが選択された場合に、選択された協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃに対応する好感度データ２２Ｃを増加させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶する一方、選択されなかった協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃに対応する好感度データ２２Ｃを減少させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶する。また、協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃのうち、いずれかの協力キャラクタも選択されなかった場合に、すべての協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃに対応する好感度データ２２Ｃを減少させて、メモリモジュール２２に上書きして記憶する。 (Operation and Effect of Example 1)
In this way, in the game apparatus 1, the processor core 21 sets the time limit for each of the plurality of cooperation character names 66A to 66C based on the favorableness data 22C corresponding to each of the plurality of cooperation character data 22B. When the elapsed time is measured for each of the plurality of cooperation character names 66A to 66C, and any one of the cooperation character names 66A to 66C is selected, the selected cooperation character is selected. The likability data 22C corresponding to the names 66A to 66C is increased and overwritten and stored in the memory module 22, while the likability data 22C corresponding to the cooperation character names 66A to 66C that are not selected is decreased and stored in the memory. The module 22 is overwritten and stored. Further, when any of the cooperation character names 66A to 66C is not selected, the likability data 22C corresponding to all the cooperation character names 66A to 66C is decreased and overwritten in the memory module 22. Remember.
　従って、選択によって協力キャラクタ６４Ａ～６４Ｃの好感度が上下するというハラハラ感をプレイヤに体験させることができると共に、協力キャラクタ６４Ａ～６４Ｃのうち、プレイヤの好む協力キャラクタ６４Ａ～６４Ｃを選択するのか、モンスターを攻撃するのに有効な協力キャラクタ６４Ａ～６４Ｃを選択するのか、プレイヤを迷わせることができ、かくして、ゲームに対する興趣性を一段と高めることができる。 Therefore, the player can experience a sense of harassment that the preference of the cooperation characters 64A to 64C is increased or decreased. The player can be confused as to whether to select the cooperation characters 64A to 64C effective for attacking the game, thus further enhancing the interest in the game.
　また、ゲーム装置１では、プロセッサコア２１が、所定の時間内に中止選択肢６６Ｄが選択され、１人攻撃が選択された場合に、プレイヤキャラクタ単体の１人攻撃を実行することにより、いずれの協力キャラクタ６４Ａ～６４の好感度も減少させたくない場合には、協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃのいずれも選択しないとすることができ、選択作業の遊戯性を一段と高めることができる。 Further, in the game apparatus 1, when the processor core 21 selects the stop option 66D within a predetermined time and selects the one-person attack, any cooperation can be achieved by executing the one-person attack of the player character alone. If it is not desired to reduce the favorability of the characters 64A to 64, none of the cooperative character names 66A to 66C can be selected, and the playability of the selection work can be further enhanced.
　さらに、ゲーム装置１では、プロセッサコア２１が、協力キャラクタ６４Ａ～６４の好感度が上下する合体攻撃のイベントを所定の確率で出現させることにより、協力キャラクタの好感度を増加させたいプレイヤは常にディスプレイ４１を見ていなければならず、プレイヤを一段とゲームに集中させることができる。 Furthermore, in the game apparatus 1, the processor core 21 causes a player who wants to increase the likability of the cooperation character to always display the combined attack event in which the likability of the cooperation characters 64A to 64 appears with a predetermined probability. 41 must be watched, and the player can be more focused on the game.

Further, the time limit clocks 55A to 55C may not be simply displayed on the display 41.
　さらに、本実施の形態においては、いずれか一つの選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃが選択された場合に、選択された選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃを増加させ、選択されなかった選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃを減少させた場合について述べたが、本発明はこれに限らず、例えば、選択されなかった選択肢５４Ａ～５４Ｃに対応するパラメータ２２Ｃを減少させないようにしても良く、一つの選択肢が選択された場合に、当該選択結果に基づいてパラメータ２２Ｃを変更するようにすれば良い。 Further, in the present embodiment, when any one of the options 54A to 54C is selected, the parameter 22C corresponding to the selected option 54A to 54C is increased, and the option 54A to 54C not selected is supported. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the parameter 22C corresponding to the unselected options 54A to 54C may not be decreased, and one option is selected. In such a case, the parameter 22C may be changed based on the selection result.
　さらに、本実施の形態においては、プレイヤがコメント表示枠６５にコメントした協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃを選択した場合には、当該協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃのパラメータ２２Ｃを通常の増加量よりも大幅に増加させるようにしても良い。また、プレイヤがコメント表示枠６５にコメントした協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃを選択しなかった場合には、当該協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃのパラメータ２２Ｃを通常の減少量よりも大幅に減少させるようにしても良い。これにより、コメントの有無によりどの協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃを選択するかプレイヤを迷わせることができ、選択作業の遊戯性を一段と高めることができる。 Further, in the present embodiment, when the player selects the cooperation character names 66A to 66C commented in the comment display frame 65, the parameter 22C of the cooperation character names 66A to 66C is set to be much larger than the normal increase amount. You may make it increase. If the player does not select the cooperation character names 66A to 66C commented in the comment display frame 65, the parameter 22C of the cooperation character names 66A to 66C is greatly reduced from the normal reduction amount. Also good. Thereby, the player can be confused about which cooperative character name 66A to 66C is selected depending on the presence or absence of a comment, and the playability of the selection work can be further enhanced.
　さらに、本実施の形態においては、プレイヤキャラクタと協力キャラクタ６４Ａ～６４Ｃとに関連性を設定し、当該関連性に基づいてパラメータ２２Ｃの増減量を変更させるようにしても良い。この場合、協力キャラクタデータ２２Ｂのキャラクタごとに他のキャラクタとの関連性データが記憶される。当該関連性データは性別、年齢、相性などを示すデータである。例えば、プレイヤキャラクタと協力キャラクタ６４Ａが「男性」、協力キャラクタ６４Ｂ、６４Ｃが「女性」であるという関連性データが記憶されているとする。この場合、プレイヤキャラクタに対して異性である協力キャラクタ名称６６Ｂを、プレイヤが選択した際には、同じくプレイヤキャラクタとは異性である協力キャラクタ６４Ｃのパラメータ２２Ｃを減少させる。一方で、プレイヤキャラクタと同性である協力キャラクタ６４Ａのパラメータ２２Ｃは変化させないようにしても良い。これにより、キャラクタ間の関係性によりどの協力キャラクタ名称６６Ａ～６６Ｃを選択するかプレイヤを迷わせることができ、選択作業の遊戯性を一段と高めることができる。 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a relationship may be set between the player character and the cooperation characters 64A to 64C, and the increase / decrease amount of the parameter 22C may be changed based on the relationship. In this case, relevance data with other characters is stored for each character of the cooperative character data 22B. The relevance data is data indicating gender, age, compatibility, and the like. For example, it is assumed that relevance data is stored that the player character and the cooperation character 64A are “male” and the cooperation characters 64B and 64C are “female”. In this case, when the player selects a cooperation character name 66B that is opposite to the player character, the parameter 22C of the cooperation character 64C that is also opposite to the player character is decreased. On the other hand, the parameter 22C of the cooperative character 64A that is the same as the player character may not be changed. This makes it possible for the player to be confused as to which cooperative character names 66A to 66C are to be selected due to the relationship between the characters, and the playability of the selection work can be further enhanced.
　本発明は、ゲーム内におけるプレイヤキャラクタが会話等の行動をする際に、次にプレイヤキャラクタが発する台詞やプレイヤキャラクタが行なう動作を選択肢として提示し、プレイヤに当該選択肢を選択させるゲーム装置に適用することができる。 The present invention is applied to a game device that presents, as options, a dialogue that the player character next utters or actions performed by the player character when the player character performs an action such as conversation in the game, and causes the player to select the option. be able to.
