Bandai Namco received 1 granted patent in Game Mechanics.
The patent covers technology that allows player characters to execute movement actions, such as approaching or healing locked-on targets, without interruption from enemy attacks during the action's execution. This addresses gameplay scenarios where players commit to specific actions directed at target entities.
A single game mechanics patent tackles the problem of interrupted tactical movements during combat sequences. The patent creates a system where players who lock onto a target and initiate an approach or healing action receive temporary immunity from enemy attacks while that movement executes. This ensures that once a player commits to a tactical decision and begins the action, enemy fire won't disrupt the execution phase, preserving the integrity of skill-based timing choices without introducing random interference during the committed movement.
