Character coloring control method, game device, and information storage medium
View Patent ↗Whether or not a discoloring motion has been performed by a player character is determined, and a discoloration portion set for the determined discoloring motion is discolored. A discolored mark texture of which the discolored mark pattern is denser and of a thicker color is mapped as a current discoloration value set to the discoloration portion becomes larger. The current discoloration value is added and updated by a discoloration unit set based on the stadium in which the game is performed and the game day weather each time the discoloring motion is performed.
1. A character coloring control method comprising:
a cause motion detection step of detecting occurrence of a coloring cause motion which is a motion for which a target portion to be discolored of a character which moves in a game space is determined in advance, the coloring cause motion being performed by a processor or a controller; and
a coloring execution step of discoloring the target portion of the character determined for the detected coloring cause motion in response to detection in the cause motion detection step.
2. The character coloring control method as defined in claim 1 ,
wherein the coloring execution step includes a depth change control step of changing depth of a color provided to the target portion based on a number of times that the respective target portion is discolored.
3. The character coloring control method as defined in claim 2 ,
wherein the depth change control step is a step of changing the depth of the color provided to the target portion by changing a number of discolored mark textures, of which a discolored mark color is defined by translucent color information, to be mapped.
4. The character coloring control method as defined in claim 1 , further comprising a color restoration step of gradually bringing the color of the target portion discolored in the coloring execution step close to the color before the discoloration according to progress of the game.
5. The character coloring control method as defined in claim 4 ,
wherein the color restoration step includes a color restoration speed changing step of changing speed at which the color of the target portion is brought close to the color before the discoloration according to the progress of the game.
6. The character coloring control method as defined in claim 1 , further comprising an immediate color restoration step of immediately bringing the color of the target portion discolored in the coloring execution step close to the color before the discoloration at a specific timing during the game.
7. The character coloring control method as defined in claim 1 , further comprising:
a reference color setting step of setting a reference discolored mark color of the color provided by the discoloration in the coloring execution step;
wherein the coloring execution step is a step of discoloring the target portion based on the reference discolored mark color set in the reference color setting step.
8. The character coloring control method as defined in claim 7 , further comprising:
a space setting step of selecting/setting a game space used for the game from a plurality of game spaces set in advance before starting the game;
wherein the reference color setting step is a step of setting the reference discolored mark color based on the type of the game space set in the space setting step.
9. A game device comprising:
a cause motion detection section which detects occurrence of a coloring cause motion which is a motion for which a target portion to be discolored of a character which moves in a game space is determined in advance; and
a coloring execution section which discolors the target portion of the character determined for the detected coloring cause motion in response to detection by the cause motion detection section.
10. The game device as defined in claim 9 ,
wherein the coloring execution section includes a depth change control section which changes depth of a color provided to the target portion based on a number of times that the respective target portion is discolored.
11. The game device as defined in claim 10 ,
wherein the depth change control section changes the depth of the color provided to the target portion by changing a number of discolored mark textures, of which a discolored mark color is defined by translucent color information, to be mapped.
12. The game device as defined in claim 9 , further comprising a color restoration section which gradually brings the color of the target portion discolored by the coloring execution section close to the color before the discoloration according to progress of the game.
13. The game device as defined in claim 12 ,
wherein the color restoration section includes a color restoration speed changing section which changes speed at which the color of the target portion is brought close to the color before the discoloration according to the progress of the game.
14. The game device as defined in claim 9 , further comprising an immediate color restoration section which immediately brings the color of the target portion discolored by the coloring execution section close to the color before the discoloration at a specific timing during the game.
15. The game device as defined in claim 9 , further comprising:
a reference color setting section which sets a reference discolored mark color of the color provided by the discoloration of the coloring execution section;
wherein the coloring execution section discolors the target portion based on the reference discolored mark color set by the reference color setting section.
16. The game device as defined in claim 15 , further comprising:
a space setting section which selects/sets a game space used for the game from a plurality of game spaces set in advance before starting the game;
wherein the reference color setting section sets the reference discolored mark color based on the type of the game space set by the space setting section.
17. A computer-readable information storage medium storing a program for executing the character coloring control method as defined in claim 1 .
