Patent number: 8454439Abstract: Provided is a game device, which is capable of preventing a subject to be operated from performing an action that is not intended by a player. A game device (10) executes a game configured so that at least one of a subject to be operated by a player and an object or a character moves within a game space. Numerical value information acquiring means (51) acquires numerical value information corresponding to a motion of the player. Control means (52) causes the subject to be operated to perform an action corresponding to a case where a positional relationship between the subject to be operated and the object or the character is a first positional relationship in a case where the numerical value information satisfies a condition. Condition changing means (55) changes the above-mentioned condition based on the positional relationship between the subject to be operated and the object or the character.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2010Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.Inventors: Taku Otani, Yutaka Nishino

Publication number: 20110190059Abstract: To provide a game device that, for example, enables dealing with displacement of a standing position of a player during game play. Depression operation receiving means receives a depression operation of the player and outputs information regarding a position depressed by the player. Depressed position acquiring means (61) acquires the position depressed by the player based on the information output from the depression operation receiving means. Judgment means (62) judges whether or not the position depressed by the player is included within a judgment subject area. Game processing executing means (63) executes game processing based on a result of the judging by the judgment means (62). Judgment subject area changing means (64) changes, in a case where it is judged that the position depressed by the player is not included within the judgment subject area, a position of the judgment subject area based on the position depressed by the player.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2009Publication date: August 4, 2011Applicant: KONAMI DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT CO., LTD.Inventor: Taku Otani
