Description

The present invention relates to an information processing system, and more specifically, to an information processing system for imparting in-game content to a player by a lottery process.

Conventionally, a game in which game content such as a character card is given to a player in a game and is played by using the game content is known. Further, in such a game, as a method of obtaining the game content, there is known a method of obtaining a so-called "gacha" or the like by performing a lottery. Further, regarding this lottery, there is also known one that provides a lottery (also referred to as "10 consecutive gachas") in which 10 game contents can be obtained at a time (for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2014-30610

In the lottery in the above-mentioned games, in particular, in the "10 consecutive gachas" in which a plurality of contents can be obtained at one time, all the contents obtained are selected by lottery. That is, all the contents were randomly selected. Therefore, as a result of "10 consecutive gachas", it may be possible that only the content that the user does not want can be obtained. In such a case, the user's interest in gameplay will be reduced due to the result of the lottery, and there is room for improvement from the viewpoint of having the user enjoy continuous gameplay.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an information processing system or the like capable of preventing a user's interest in gameplay from being reduced due to the result of a lottery.

In order to achieve the above object, for example, the following configuration example can be given.

An example of the configuration example is an information processing system, comprising: a first determination processing hand stage, the contents imparting hand stage. The first determination processing means specifies at least two or more contents as finalized contents from a plurality of contents, and executes a first determination process of drawing at least one content from a plurality of contents as lottery contents. .. The content giving means gives the confirmed content and the lottery content to the user.

According to the above configuration example, when a plurality of contents are drawn and given to the user, the contents of some contents are specified in advance. Therefore, it is possible to make it easier for the user to obtain the desired content while enjoying the expectation of the lottery that he / she does not know what can be obtained. As a result, it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest in game play due to the result of the lottery.

In another configuration example, the information processing system, provided information on the plurality of first determination processing to the user, determination processing selection means to select on the basis from among them one of the first determination processing to the user's operation may further comprise a first determination processing means determines the processing selection means by but it may also be identifying a definite content of different content corresponding to the first determination processing selected. Further, the first determination processing means determines the processing selection means by but it may also be identifying a different number of defined content corresponding to the first determination processing selected. Further, the information processing system displays an image showing the content of the confirmed content specified for each of the plurality of first determination processes before the determination process selection means selects one of the plurality of first determination processes. it may further be provided with a contents display means to display in.

According to the above configuration example, it is possible to present and select a plurality of determination processes having different contents of the finalized content. As a result, even when the number of types of contents increases, it becomes possible to easily obtain the contents according to the needs of the user. In particular, by presenting the content of the confirmed content and the number thereof to the user in advance, for example, even if there are 100 types of available content, it is easy for the user to selectively obtain the desired content. Can be done.

As another configuration example, the information processing system further includes a second determination processing means (S23) that executes a second determination process of drawing at least one content from a plurality of contents without specifying the content. You may. Then, the determination process selection means may present a plurality of information on the first determination process and information on the second determination process to the user user, and let the user select one of them.

According to the above configuration example, it is possible to provide a difference between the usage conditions of the first determination means and the usage conditions of the second determination means. For example, the first determination means can be configured to be used for consumption of paid items (charged items), and the second determination process can be configured to be available for free. This makes it possible to provide a method of obtaining content that matches the play style of the user.

As another configuration example, the information processing system may further include game processing execution means for executing a predetermined game processing based on a user's operation. Then, the content adding means may give one content from a plurality of contents to the user based on the result of the game processing by the game processing means. Further, the information processing system prohibits the addition of one content by the content addition means until a predetermined time elapses after the addition of one content as a result of the game processing by the game processing means. Further means may be provided.

According to the above configuration example, the content that can be obtained in the first determination process can also be obtained by the game process. Therefore, it is possible to provide game play that matches the play style of each user. In particular, by using the first determination process, it is possible to shorten the time required for obtaining the content as compared with the case of obtaining the content by the game process. Therefore, for example, depending on how much time can be secured for game play, it is possible to provide an option of obtaining content by the game processing and an option of obtaining content using the first determination process. Become.

As another configuration example, each of the plurality of contents may be configured to be preset as a confirmation item of any of the plurality of first determination processes.

According to the above configuration example, since all kinds of contents can be obtained as finalized items in any of the first determination processes, it is possible to more reliably obtain the contents desired by the user, and the user's game play. It is possible to prevent a decrease in motivation for the user.

As another configuration example, the content giving means may give the confirmed content and the lottery content to the user at the same time.

According to the above configuration example, it is possible to increase the expectation due to the lottery and prevent the motivation for the game play from being lowered.

According to this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the user's interest in gameplay from being reduced due to the result of the lottery.

[Outline of information processing of this embodiment]
Next, the outline of the information processing according to the present embodiment will be described. The information processing described in the present embodiment is mainly related to the item acquisition process in the game, but in order to facilitate the understanding, the outline of the game executed in the present embodiment will be described first. ..

The game according to the present embodiment is a game in which various virtual characters (resident characters) live virtually as player characters in the virtual game world. For example, you can collect various items to build your own house or maintain your garden. In addition, various items can be obtained by hunting, fishing, etc. in the game, and having conversations with resident characters.

Here, the player character may be requested by the resident character for various "quests". By clearing this "quest", various items will be given to the player as a clear reward. And, as one of these "quests", there is a quest for the purpose of bringing in the specified item. Specifically, in this game, there are items that imitate seafood, and there are quests that aim to bring in specific fish and shellfish. For example, the request content is "Please bring one Thai", "Please bring two bonitos", or "Please bring two Thais and two bonitos". In response to such a quest, the player obtains the item specified in the game and delivers it to the requested resident character, so that the quest is cleared and the predetermined item is given to the player as a clear reward.

Next, an item acquisition method (acquisition process) in this game, specifically, an item imitating the seafood (hereinafter, seafood item) will be described. In this game, there are roughly two types of methods (acquisition routes) for obtaining the above seafood items. First, the player can obtain seafood items by performing "fishing" (more specifically, a "fishing" mini-game) in the game. The other is that you can get seafood items by using "cast net" items.

[About item acquisition by fishing]
The acquisition method by the above "fishing" will be described more specifically. In this game, a predetermined position or area in the game world is set as a "fishing spot". In addition, a plurality of such "fishing spots" are set. Then, the player can move the player character to the "fishing spot" and use the item "fishing rod" to cause the player character to perform "fishing" (a mini game of "fishing" can be started. ). By performing such "fishing", only one randomly selected (lottery) seafood item can be caught. Here, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that there are a total of 10 types of seafood items. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as the process related to the "fishing", first, a process of drawing one type from the ten types of seafood items is executed. Then, a fishing mini-game process (for example, determining whether the drawn fish can be caught or escaped based on the player's operation) is executed, and as a result, the fish can be caught. If it is determined, the lottered seafood item will be given as the possession of the player character. In another embodiment, it may be possible to first determine whether or not the fish has been caught, and if the fish can be caught, the above-mentioned seafood item lottery process may be performed.

In the present embodiment, if "fishing" is performed once at the above "fishing spot" and some seafood item is caught, the same "fishing spot" (even if fishing is performed) until a predetermined time elapses. ) Seafood items are set so that they cannot be caught. That is, it is set so that seafood items cannot be continuously caught. Regarding the restriction of continuous fishing, for example, once "fishing" is performed at fishing spot A, "fishing" cannot be performed at this fishing spot A until 5 minutes have passed. Good.

In another embodiment, if any seafood item is caught, the “fishing” itself at the same “fishing spot” may not be possible until a predetermined time has elapsed. In addition, regarding the condition that "fishing" can be performed again, in addition to the above-mentioned predetermined time elapse, the condition that a specific operation is performed by the player, a specific action is performed by the character, etc. You may be able to "fish".

[About item acquisition by casting net]
Next, the acquisition method by using the "cast net" item will be specifically described. In the present embodiment, for example, a "cast net spot" different from the above "fishing spot" is set, and by having the player character use the "cast net" item in the "cast net spot", a plurality of seafood items can be used at once. (Note that in other embodiments, the "fishing" spot and the "cast net spot" may be set at the same position). Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time required to prepare the items required for the quest by using a cast net rather than obtaining them one by one by the above "fishing". In particular, if the "fishing" cannot be performed again after a predetermined time has passed after the "fishing" has been performed as described above, the effect of shortening the time becomes greater. In the present embodiment, although the "fishing" has a time limit, the "fishing" can be performed as many times as the predetermined time has passed. On the other hand, "cast net" can be executed by consuming an item called "normal cast net". In other words, there is a limit on the number of times these items can be used in the form of possession. Also, unlike the case of "fishing" above, as long as you own the cast net item, you can use the cast net item continuously without waiting for the lapse of a predetermined time after casting the net once. .. Further, the "cast net" can be executed by consuming the "normal cast net" item described above and also by consuming the "ticket" described later.

Here, the types of cast nets are supplemented. In the present embodiment, the "cast net" includes the following three types of "cast net" having different execution methods.
(1) Normal cast net (can be executed by using cast net items)
(2) Cast net for small fish (can be executed by consuming a ticket)
(3) Cast nets for medium-sized fish (can be executed by consuming tickets)

When the player moves the player character to the "fishing spot" and performs an instruction operation using the cast net, the cast net selection screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed. In FIG. 4, option images 151A to 151C showing a normal cast net, a small fish cast net, and a medium-sized fish cast net are shown in order from the top. Hereinafter, the outlines of various “cast nets” and the corresponding option images 151 will be described.

First, a normal cast net will be described. A normal cast net is a "cast net" item that allows you to obtain four seafood items by using it. These four seafood items are determined by drawing one by one from the above ten types of seafood items. That is, four lottery is held.

Here, the winning probability of the seafood item in the lottery is supplemented. In the present embodiment, winning probabilities are set for each of the above 10 types of seafood items. For example, of the 10 types, 5 types have a first probability, 3 types have a second probability lower than the 1st probability, 2 types have a third probability lower than the 2nd probability, and the like. The lottery is performed using this winning probability. In another embodiment, a setting may be used in which the winning probability is substantially flat for all seafood items.

Next, the option image 151A will be described. The option image 151A of FIG. 4 is an image shown as an option corresponding to a normal cast net. The player can select and use the normal throwing network, for example, by touch-operating the option image 151A. In the option image 151A, a cast net image 152 showing an image of a cast net is shown, and under the cast net image 152, the number of times that the cast net can be used (in other words, the number of possession of a normal cast net) is also shown. Further, on the right side of the cast net image 152, four item images 153 showing information on available items are displayed. This indicates that four seafood items are available using regular cast nets. That is, the number of item images 153 corresponding to the number of available seafood items is displayed. Further, in the option image 151A in FIG. 4, each of the four item images 153 is displayed with a “?” Mark. This indicates that the available seafood items will be selected by lottery. In other words, at this point it is unclear which seafood items are available.

Next, a cast net for small fish will be described. This small fish cast net is a "cast net" item that allows you to obtain 10 seafood items by using it. In other words, the number that can be obtained at one time is larger than that of the above-mentioned normal cast net. However, in the present embodiment, not all 10 items are determined by lottery, but only 7 of these 10 seafood items are determined by lottery (7 times lottery is performed). .. The contents of the remaining three seafood items have been specified (confirmed) from the beginning (that is, no lottery is held). In other words, out of a total of 10 seafood items, 3 are fixed slots and 7 are lottery slots. In the following explanation, the seafood item whose contents are specified in advance is referred to as a "fixed frame item", and the item determined by the lottery is referred to as a "lottery frame item". Treat as a frame item).

The option image 151B shown in FIG. 4 is an image shown as an option corresponding to the throwing net for small fish. In this image, 10 item images 153 are displayed on the right side of the cast net image 152. Of this group of images, three item images 153 are shown as images showing specific seafood that can be obtained. In the case of the option image 151B, three different types of seafood are shown, and this is an image showing the specific contents of the fixed frame item. That is, it is shown that the three kinds of seafood displayed in this image are definitely available. The item image 153 for the remaining 7 animals is indicated by a "?" Mark. That is, it is shown that these 7 animals are decided by lottery as in the case of normal casting nets. That is, it is shown that it is the lottery frame item. In addition, since the seven animals are determined by lottery, the same seafood item as any of the seafood items in the fixed frame may be determined (that is, the seafood item that overlaps with the fixed frame is in the lottery frame. Can be determined by).

Regarding the winning probability of the lottery slot items for the above 7 animals, a winning probability different from that of the normal casting net may be used. For example, in this embodiment, the above 10 types of seafood items are classified into "small fish group", "medium fish group", and "large fish group". Then, when the small fish cast net is used, the winning probability of the seafood item belonging to the "small fish group" may be higher than that of other groups.

By the way, in the option image 151B, an image showing a ticket and the required number of tickets is displayed below the net throwing image 152. In the present embodiment, the normal cast net is managed as an item possessed by the player character, and is used in a form of directly consuming it. On the other hand, for small fish cast nets and medium-sized fish cast nets, it is possible to use one small fish cast net or medium-sized fish cast net by consuming a predetermined number of "ticket" items (tickets). The item itself is treated as a possession item of the player character). In the case of FIG. 4, by consuming three ticket items, the small fish cast net or the medium-sized fish cast net can be used only once.

Here, we will supplement how to obtain regular cast nets and ticket items. The normal cast net can be obtained in the game, for example, by a login bonus to the game, a reward for leveling up, distribution from the operation, and the like. On the other hand, ticket items are available in a method different from that of ordinary cast nets, for example, as so-called billing items.

Next, a cast net for medium-sized fish will be described. A medium-sized fish cast net is also a "cast net" item that can be used by consuming a predetermined number of ticket items and can obtain 10 seafood items with one use. However, unlike cast nets for small fish, of the total of 10 seafood items, 4 are fixed frame items and 6 are lottery frame items. That is, the breakdown is different from that of small fish cast nets. Also in the option image 151C, images showing specific seafood that can be obtained are shown for each of the item images 153 for four animals, and the item images 153 for the remaining six animals are indicated by a "?" Mark. .. That is, it is shown that the seafood items for 6 animals are determined by lottery, and the displayed seafood items for 4 animals are definitely available.

Regarding the winning probability (appearance rate) of 6 lottery slots in the medium-sized fish cast net, a winning probability different from that of the above-mentioned normal cast net and small fish cast net may be used. For example, the winning probability of a seafood item belonging to the above-mentioned "medium-sized fish group" may be higher than that of other groups.

Further, in the present embodiment, the contents of the fixed frame item of the small fish cast net and the contents of the fixed frame item of the medium-sized fish cast net do not overlap. That is, it is assumed that the seafood items that can be obtained as a fixed frame differ depending on the type of cast net. In the present embodiment, seven different types of seafood items can be obtained one by one only with the fixed frame item for the small fish cast net and the fixed frame item for the medium-sized fish cast net. However, in other embodiments, the fixed frame may include partially overlapping seafood items.

Regarding the number of items to be included in the fixed frame (ratio of the fixed frame and the lottery frame), in this embodiment, not all 10 items are fixed, but the fixed frame and the lottery frame are mixed. That is, when giving a plurality of items to a player, it is basically decided by a lottery (to provide the player with fun such as the expectation peculiar to the lottery), but at least two or more are fixed frames. .. The number of items included in this fixed frame is not limited to the above number. In the present embodiment, the ratio is such that the lottery slots are larger than the fixed slots, but depending on the content of the game, the ratio may be such that the fixed slots are larger than the lottery slots (for example, the fixed slots are 7). One, three lottery slots, etc.).

In this way, in the game processing according to this embodiment, when collecting a plurality of fish and shellfish items requested in a quest or the like, a normal cast net in which all the available numbers are determined by lottery and a part thereof are obtained. After confirming the content from the beginning and presenting it to the player, different types of cast nets, such as small fish cast nets and medium-sized fish cast nets, which are determined by lottery, can be selectively used. This provides a room for the player to properly use these cast nets when collecting the seafood items to be collected requested in the above quest, and the target seafood is more than, for example, when trying to arrange only by fishing or normal cast nets. You can make it easier to collect items. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player's motivation for the game from being lowered and to have the player play the game for a long time.

[Details of information processing of this embodiment]
Next, information processing will be described in more detail in the present embodiment with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8.

In addition, various data necessary for game processing are also appropriately stored in the memory 123.

[Flowchart]
Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7, the flow of processing executed by the cooperation of the processor unit 111 of the server 101 and the smart device 102 will be described. Here, the process (cast net process) when the player uses the above-mentioned cast net will be mainly described, and the description of other game processes will be omitted.

First, when the player operates the smart device 102 to move the player character to a predetermined cast net spot, a screen asking whether or not to perform "cast net" is displayed, although not shown. On the other hand, when the player performs an operation of selecting to perform "casting net", the casting process according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 is started. In FIG. 7, the processing flow on the smart device side is shown on the left side, and the processing flow on the server side is shown on the right side.

In FIG. 7, first, in step S1, the processor unit 111 of the smart device 102 transmits the acquisition request of the small network data 217 and the medium network data 218 to the server 101. In response to this, in step S2, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 reads out the small network data 217 and the medium network data 218 from the fixed frame definition data 216 and transmits them to the requesting smart device. As a result, the smart device 102 can acquire information on the fixed frame items of the small fish cast net and the medium-sized fish cast net from the server 101.

Next, in step S3, the processor unit 111 of the smart device 102 generates a cast net selection screen as shown in FIG. 4 and displays it on the display unit 116. Specifically, the processor unit 111 of the smart device 102 acquires image data corresponding to the fixed frame items (three types here) defined in the acquired small network data 217 from the object data 223. Then, using the image data, the option image 151B shown in FIG. 4 is generated. That is, an image of three types of seafood is shown as a fixed frame, and an option image 151B including a "?" Mark indicating seven other lottery frames is generated. Similarly, the image data corresponding to the fixed frame items (here, four types) defined in the medium-sized network data 218 is acquired, and the option image 151C shown in FIG. 4 is generated by using the image data. That is, four kinds of seafood images as a fixed frame and six "?" Marks of the lottery frame are shown to generate the option image 151C. In addition, the option image 151A for the normal cast net as described above is also generated. This includes only images of the four lottery slots. Then, the processor unit 111 generates a cast net selection screen (screen of FIG. 4 above) including these, and displays it on the screen. After this screen is displayed, the player can perform an input operation to select one of the cast nets.

The acquisition timing of the small network data 217 and the medium network data 218 from the server 101 is not limited to the above timing, and is acquired from the server at the timing when the login process is successful, for example, before the game starts. It may be stored in the main memory 113.

Next, in step S4, the processor unit 111 of the smart device 102 acquires the operation data 222. In the following step S5, the processor unit 111 determines whether or not any of the cast nets has been selected based on the contents of the operation data 222. Then, if any of the cast nets is selected, in step S6, the data indicating the selected content and the data for requesting the acquisition item determination process are transmitted to the server 101.

Next, in step S7, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 receives the data indicating the selection contents and the data for requesting the acquisition item determination process. Next, in step S8, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 executes the acquisition item determination process based on the data indicating the selection contents. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the details of the acquisition item determination process. First, in step S21, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 executes a process of determining the type of the selected cast net based on the data indicating the selected contents. Next, in step S22, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 determines whether or not the normal cast net is selected as the network when used. As a result, when the normal cast net is selected (YES in step S22), in step S23, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 executes the process of determining the seafood item when the normal cast net is used. Specifically, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 first clears the cast net result data 219. Next, four seafood items are determined by executing the lottery process for seafood items four times. Then, the information indicating the determined four seafood items is stored in the cast net result data 219. Further, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 performs a process of storing the seafood item indicated by the cast net result data 219 in the inventory data 215 of the player of the smart device 102 that has requested the above. That is, a process of granting the determined seafood item to the player is performed.

On the other hand, as a result of the above step S22, when the normal cast net selection operation is not performed (NO in step S22), in step S24, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 determines whether or not the small fish cast net has been selected. judge. As a result, when the small fish cast net is selected (YES in step S24), in step S25, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 executes the process of determining the seafood item when the small fish cast net is used. .. Specifically, the processor unit 121 first clears the cast net result data 219. Next, the processor unit 121 determines seven seafood items corresponding to the lottery frame items by performing the lottery process seven times, and stores the data indicating the determined seafood items in the cast net result data 219. Further, the processor unit 121 also stores in the cast net result data 219 data indicating the three seafood items (fixed frame items in the small fish cast net) defined in the acquired small net data 217. Then, the processor unit 121 performs a process of storing the seafood item indicated by the cast net result data 219 in the inventory data 215 of the requesting player.

On the other hand, as a result of the above step S24, when the selection operation of the small fish cast net is not performed (NO in step S24), it is considered that the medium-sized fish cast net is selected. In this case, in step S26, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 executes the process of determining the seafood item when the medium-sized fish casting net is used. Specifically, the processor unit 121 first clears the cast net result data 219. Next, the processor unit 121 determines the six seafood items corresponding to the lottery frame items by performing the lottery process six times, and stores the data indicating the determined seafood items in the cast net result data 219. Further, the processor unit 121 also stores in the cast net result data 219 data indicating the four seafood items (fixed frame items in the medium-sized fish cast net) defined in the acquired small net data 217. Further, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 performs a process of storing the seafood item indicated by the netting result data 219 in the inventory data 215 of the requesting player. This completes the acquisition item determination process.

The acquisition item determination process according to step S8 may be executed by the processor unit 111 of the smart device 102 instead of the server 101.

Returning to FIG. 7, in step S9, the processor unit 121 of the server 101 executes a process of transmitting the above-mentioned cast net result data 219 indicating the determination result of this time to the requesting smart device 102. In step S10, the processor unit 111 of the smart device 102 receives the cast net result data 219.

Next, in step S11, the processor unit 111 of the smart device 102 displays an effect screen showing how the player character casts a net based on the received cast net result data 219. Next, in step S12, the processor unit 111 of the smart device 102 executes a display process of a result screen showing the result of casting net. Specifically, based on the cast net result data 219, an image corresponding to the determined seafood item is acquired from the object data 223 and displayed as a list on the screen as the seafood item obtained by using each cast net. Do. That is, when a normal cast net is used, images of four seafood items are displayed as a result of the cast net. In addition, when a small fish cast net or a medium-sized fish cast net is used, a total of 10 images of seafood items are displayed as the result of the cast net. This completes the cast net processing by the smart device 102 and the server 101.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when 10 seafood items are obtained at once by casting net, they are basically obtained by lottery processing, but some seafood items are not drawn by lottery but their contents are previously obtained. It has been confirmed. Further, the content of the confirmed content is displayed in advance so that the player can grasp the confirmed content. In addition, a plurality of cast nets having different confirmation contents are provided to the player. As a result, in a situation where the player is made to collect items in the game, it is possible to give at least two or more items desired by the player. As a result, it is possible to reduce the stress of the player involved in collecting items and prevent the motivation for game play from being lowered. In addition, it is possible for each player to enjoy the game according to the play style (for example, the amount of time spent playing the game).

[About modification]
In the above embodiment, the case where the target of the determination process is a seafood item is taken as an example, but the object determined by the determination process is not limited to this. For example, it may be a weapon item or an armor item in a role-playing game, and further, it may be not limited to an item but may be a fellow character, a monster, or the like. Further, a character card, a monster card, or the like in a card game may be targeted. In addition, various contents used in the game may be targeted.

Further, in the above example, the number of seafood items that can be obtained at one time is different between the normal cast net and the small fish cast net and the medium-sized fish cast net (4 for the former and 10 for the latter). In other embodiments, such a difference may not be provided. That is, even in the case of the above-mentioned normal cast net, 10 seafood items may be available at a time. In this case, if a normal cast net is used, a lottery will be held 10 times.

Further, in the above embodiment, the number of fixed frames is different between the small fish cast net and the medium-sized fish cast net, but in other embodiments, the number of fixed frames is different between the small fish cast net and the medium-sized fish cast net. It may be the same. Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the number of tickets consumed is the same when using the cast net for small fish and the cast net for medium-sized fish is an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of tickets consumed may be different between the two. ..

Further, in the above example, there are a total of 10 types of seafood items, and 7 types of seafood items are defined in the above-mentioned fixed frame. In other words, the remaining three types of seafood items were only available by lottery. In another embodiment, by further increasing the types of cast nets described above and combining the fixed frames of each cast net, all types of seafood items (that is, all of the lottery targets) can be covered. good. For example, in addition to the above-mentioned small fish cast net and medium-sized fish cast net, the above-mentioned "large fish cast net" in which the remaining three types of seafood items are set in the fixed frame may be further provided. In other words, by using these three types of cast nets, all types of seafood items can be obtained.

Further, in another embodiment, the contents of the fixed frame in the small fish cast net and the medium-sized fish cast net may be configured so that the player can customize them. For example, in addition to the above-mentioned small fish cast net and medium-sized fish cast net, a type of customized cast net may be provided to the player (in this case, the ticket consumption may be larger than that of the former two types of cast net. ). Then, as the content of the fixed frame (at least two or more frames are prepared) in the customized cast net, at least two or more types of items may be specified and set. For example, a customized cast net in which a player can specify three types of seafood items may be provided. Further, as the data structure in such a case, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the customized cast net definition data 231 may be stored for each player data 213 stored in the server 101. The customized cast net definition data 231 has contents indicating the item specified by the player. As a result, for example, in a quest to collect a plurality of types of seafood items, if the collection target is dispersed between the confirmed items in the small fish cast net and the confirmed items in the medium-sized fish cast net, it is normal. For example, where at least two cast nets are required, by using a customized cast net, it is possible to complete one cast net. As a result, the convenience of the player can be enhanced, and it is also possible to provide a play method according to the play style of each player.

In addition, instead of separately providing the above-mentioned customized cast net, the player may customize the above-mentioned fixed frame for the small fish cast net and the medium-sized fish cast net. For example, by consuming a predetermined number of tickets (consumption as a customization cost, not as a cast net usage fee), the player can specify the contents of the fixed frame for small fish cast nets or medium-sized fish cast nets only once. May be. Further, in this case, for example, as for the contents that can be specified in the fixed frame of the cast net for small fish, only the seafood items classified as "small fish" can be specified, and can be specified in the fixed frame of the cast net for medium-sized fish. As for the content, it may be configured so that only seafood items classified as "medium-sized fish" can be specified. Further, as the data structure in such a case, the fixed frame definition data 216 may be provided for each player data 213 stored in the server 101.
