<< About the outline of the game >>
Here, an outline of the game provided by the game system 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The game system 1 provides various games played by using an electronic game card (a virtual card used in the game; hereinafter, also simply referred to as a "character") to which a game character is associated.

<Competitive game>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the player can own a plurality of characters. Players can play competitive games using their own player characters. Specifically, the battle processing unit 112 determines the enemy character to be the opponent of the player, and based on the player character and various parameters (attack power, defense power, physical strength, etc.) set for each of the enemy characters, Determine the outcome of the match between these characters. If you win a match against an enemy character, the items owned by that enemy character and the enemy character itself will be given to the player.

<Lottery game>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the player can play a so-called "gacha-gacha" (registered trademark) lottery game. In the lottery game, a character selected from a plurality of characters is given to the player. This lottery game includes a normal lottery game and a special lottery game. In a normal lottery game, one character is given to a player when one lottery is performed. On the other hand, in a special lottery game, when one lottery is performed, a plurality of characters are given to the player at one time. The player can selectively play either a normal lottery game or a special lottery game. By repeating this lottery game, the player can increase the number of characters he owns up to the maximum number. Then, the player can play the above-mentioned battle game using the character owned by the player.

<Character composition>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the player selects a base character (hereinafter, also referred to as a "base character") from a plurality of characters owned by the player, and a character that is a synthetic material (hereinafter, "" Character composition can be performed by combining (also called "material character").
Hereinafter, the predetermined condition regarding the character composition will be described as assuming that the number of times the character composition has been performed (the number of times of composition) has reached the predetermined number of times.

If the base character and the material character are the same character before the number of combinations reaches the specified number, by synthesizing the material character with the base character, the parameters set for the base character before composition The upper limit is increased, and the value of the parameter is reset for the synthesized base character so that it can be increased beyond the upper limit. When the character composition is performed in this way, the player cannot own both the base character and the material character, and can only own the base character after being strengthened by the composition.

Then, when the character synthesis is repeated until the number of synthesis reaches a predetermined number, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character is gradually increased. In the present embodiment, as shown in the character information of FIG. 4, the number of times of composition is limited to three times. Therefore, when the character composition is repeated three times, the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character reaches the limit value. Even if the character composition is repeated any more, the upper limit of the parameters set for the base character cannot be increased.

After the number of synthesis reaches a predetermined number, if the base character and the material character are the same character, each time the material character is synthesized with the base character, it is set as the base character before synthesis. Although the upper limit (limit value) of the parameter cannot be further increased, an item based on the characteristics set for the material character is given to the player. When the character composition is performed in this way, the player cannot own the material character, can continue to own only the base character, and can acquire an item based on the characteristics of the material character. In the present embodiment, as described above, the number of times of composition is limited to three times, so that the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character is set every time the character composition of the fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time, and so on is performed. Although there is no change in the limit value), items based on the characteristics of the material character will be given to the player. The type of item based on the characteristics of the material character differs depending on the rarity class set for the material character.

<Character reincarnation>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, after the predetermined condition regarding the character composition is satisfied, the player performs a predetermined input operation at an arbitrary timing, so that the base character in a state where the upper limit of the parameter reaches the limit value. Character reincarnation can be performed on (hereinafter, also referred to as "base character after maximum evolution"). Character reincarnation is a game process for granting benefits to a player who owns a base character after the maximum evolution.
Hereinafter, as in the case of the above-mentioned character composition, the predetermined condition regarding the character composition will be described as assuming that the number of times the character composition has been performed (the number of times of composition) has reached the predetermined number of times.

When the player performs a predetermined input operation after the number of synthesis reaches a predetermined number, the character is reincarnated, so that the parameters set for the base character after the maximum evolution are initialized and the base character is concerned. An item that can increase the initialized parameter set in is given to the player.
For the base character for which the parameters after initialization are set, the upper limit value of the parameters can be gradually increased again by repeating the above-mentioned character composition.

In this way, before the number of synthesis reaches the predetermined number, the base character can be strengthened step by step by repeating the synthesis, and after the number of synthesis reaches the predetermined number, the base after initialization is repeated by repeating the synthesis. You can strengthen your character again. That is, even if the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character reaches the limit value by repeating the character composition and the upper limit of the parameter cannot be raised above the limit value, the character is reincarnated. Allows you to return the parameters set for that base character to their initial values. Therefore, after the character is reincarnated, the upper limit of the parameters set for the base character can be gradually increased by repeating the character synthesis again. By doing so, it is possible to increase the motivation of the player to repeat the character composition.

Also, after the character is reincarnated, by using the items given by the character reincarnation, the parameters after initialization can be dramatically increased, so when the player strengthens the base character, It becomes an advantage, and the player's motivation to repeat character composition can be further increased.

<Automatic composition>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the player performs a setting operation in advance, and when a character is given to the player by a battle game or a lottery game, the character is automatically synthesized regardless of the player's operation. be able to. As a result, when the character is given, it is determined whether or not the character can be a material character that can be synthesized with respect to the base character, and then the character synthesis is automatically performed. Become. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the time and effort required for the player's operation input.

<< Operation of Game System 1 >>
In the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the control unit 11 in the server device 10 controls each functional unit to be controlled according to the game program stored in the storage unit 12, thereby performing each process described below. Execute.

<About the operation related to character composition>
FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to character composition in the present embodiment.

When the player performs an operation for starting the lottery game, the player terminal 20 transmits a lottery game start request to the server device 10. Upon receiving the lottery game start request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 executes the character assignment process (S101). Specifically, the character granting processing unit 111 grants a character selected from a plurality of characters to the player based on the character information shown in FIG.

Next, when the character is given to the player, the server device 10 determines whether or not the character composition is set to automatic composition (S102). That is, the determination processing unit 115 determines whether or not the item of the automatic composition setting is set to "ON" with reference to the player information shown in FIG.
It should be noted that the automatic composition may not be set in advance by the player, and the determination process in step 102 may be omitted so that the automatic composition is always performed for the character composition.

As a result of such determination, if it is determined that the automatic composition setting is set to "OFF" (S102: NO), the process proceeds to step 104, and the screen data generation process is executed. That is, the screen data generation processing unit 118 generates screen data corresponding to the game screen including the character given to the player.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the automatic composition setting is set to "ON" (S102: YES), the process proceeds to step 103, and the character composition process is executed. In this character composition process, the following various processes are executed.

First, the server device 10 executes a process of determining whether or not it is possible to synthesize a material character with respect to the base character. That is, the determination processing unit 115 determines whether or not the character (material character) given to the player is the same character as the base character designated by the player. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the character is the same as the base character, depending on whether or not the character IDs match.
As a result of such determination, if it is determined that the character is not the same as the base character, the update process is executed. That is, the update processing unit 116 updates the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 by recording the character given to the player in the storage unit 12 as the player's own character.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the character is the same as the base character, it is determined whether or not the predetermined condition regarding the character composition is satisfied. That is, the determination processing unit 115 refers to the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7 to determine whether or not the number of times the base character synthesized by the player has been combined has reached the maximum number of times (three times in the present embodiment). To judge.

As a result of such determination, if it is determined that the number of times the base character has been combined has not reached the maximum number, parameter variation processing is executed. Specifically, the synthesis processing unit 113 (parameter fluctuation processing unit) sets the current upper limit value of the ability parameter set for the base character based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the possessed character information shown in FIG. Raise from one stage to the next. At this time, the synthesis processing unit 113 can also increase the current value of the ability parameter set for the base character. After that, the update processing unit 116 does not consider the character given to the player as the player's own character, and resets a new upper limit value at the present time for the ability parameter set as the base character. Updates the owned character information shown in FIG. 7.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of synthesis of the base character has reached the maximum number, the synthesis processing unit 113 is given to the player without changing the ability parameter set for the base character. Give the player an item based on the characteristics set for the character. After that, the update processing unit 116 does not make the character given to the player a character owned by the player, and records the item given to the player as an item owned by the player in the storage unit 12. , The owned item information shown in FIG. 8 is updated.

Then, returning to FIG. 9, the server device 10 executes the screen data generation process when the character composition process is completed in this way (S104). That is, the screen data generation unit 118 generates screen data (HTML data) corresponding to the game screen related to the lottery game.

Then, the server device 10 transmits the screen data generated in this way to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. When the player terminal 20 receives the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the game screen (Web page) on the terminal display unit 24.

<About movements related to character reincarnation>
FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to character reincarnation in the present embodiment.

When the player performs an operation for starting the character reincarnation, the player terminal 20 transmits a game start page transmission request to the server device 10. Upon receiving the game start page transmission request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 executes the character selection process (S201). Specifically, the character selection processing unit 117 sets the upper limit value of the ability parameter from the player's owned characters in the third stage based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the owned character information shown in FIG. 7. Select the character that has reached the upper limit (limit value) (that is, the base character after the maximum evolution).

Next, when the character selection process is completed, the server device 10 executes the screen data generation process (S202). That is, the screen data generation unit 118 generates screen data (HTML data) corresponding to the start screen of character reincarnation. The start screen of this character reincarnation includes an image of the selected base character after the maximum evolution.

Then, the server device 10 transmits the generated screen data to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. When the player terminal 20 receives the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the character reincarnation start screen (Web page) on the terminal display unit 24.

Next, when the player terminal 20 performs an operation of designating the base character after the maximum evolution while the character reincarnation start screen is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, the player terminal 20 starts the character reincarnation together with the operation information. The request is sent to the server device 10. Upon receiving the start request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 determines whether or not the base character after the maximum evolution has been designated based on the operation information of the player (S203).

Next, when the server device 10 receives the operation input for designating the base character after the maximum evolution in this way, the server device 10 executes the character reincarnation process as an example of the privilege granting process (S204). In the following, an operation example related to the character reincarnation process will be specifically described.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the character reincarnation process.
First, the server device 10 executes a parameter fluctuation process that changes the parameters set in the base character after the maximum evolution (S301). Specifically, the privilege granting processing unit 114 has the current value of the parameter set for the base character after the maximum evolution based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7 (this current value is the limit). Executes the process (initialization process) to return the value (which is the same value as the value) to the initial value. After that, the update processing unit 116 resets a new current value (this current value is the same as the initial value) for the initialized base character, so that the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 is used. To update.

Next, when the parameter change processing is completed, the server device 10 executes an item granting process for granting an item to the player who owns the initialized base character (S302). Specifically, the privilege granting processing unit 114 grants a unique item (equipment) associated with the base character to the player based on the character information shown in FIG. After that, the update processing unit 116 updates the owned item information shown in FIG. 8 by recording the item given to the player as the player's owned item in the storage unit 12.
In this item granting process, the type of privilege to be granted may be different depending on the attribute set for the base character. For example, when the rarity (attribute) of the base character is "rare" or higher, the privilege granting processing unit 114 grants an item (equipment) to the player, and the rarity of the base character is "uncommon" or lower. In that case, a virtual medal (in-game currency) may be given.

Here, when the player uses the granted item for the initialized base character, the granted item is attached to the initialized base character and , The parameter increase amount associated with the item (see FIG. 5) will be added to the current value of the parameter of the base character after initialization. Along with this, the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 is updated by the update processing unit 116.
In addition, the player can attach the given item not only to the base character after the initialization but also to other owned characters.

Next, returning to FIG. 10, when the character reincarnation process is completed in this way, the server device 10 executes the screen data generation process (S205). That is, the screen data generation unit 118 generates screen data (HTML data) corresponding to the game screen related to the lottery game.

Then, the server device 10 transmits the screen data generated in this way to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. When the player terminal 20 receives the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the game screen (Web page) on the terminal display unit 24.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 50 before the character reincarnation. The game field area 51 and the maximum evolved base character 52 designated by the player are displayed on the game screen 50. In the game field area 51, the base character 52 after the maximum evolution is displayed, and character information is displayed in association with the base character 52. Here, "Character A" is designated by the player as the base character 52 after the maximum evolution, and "attack power", "defense power", and "physical strength" are displayed as the ability parameters of the "character A". .. For each parameter, it is shown that the upper limit (limit value) is "300" points, while the current value is "210" points.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 50 after the character is reincarnated. In the game field area 51, "character A", which is the base character 53 after reincarnation, is displayed, and character information is displayed in association with the base character 53. Here, "attack power", "defense power", and "physical strength" are displayed as ability parameters of "character A". For each parameter, it is shown that the upper limit has dropped to "100" points and the current value has dropped to "10" points. That is, it is shown that the parameters are initialized by the character reincarnation, and the upper limit value and the current value of the ability parameter set in the base character are returned to the initial values.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 50 after the item is given. Here, in the game field area 51, "item A", which is a game item 54 given to the player, is displayed. Players can quickly upgrade by using items on the initialized base character.

As described above, according to the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the base character can be gradually strengthened by repeating the character synthesis before the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis is satisfied. On the other hand, after the predetermined conditions for character composition are satisfied, the upper limit of the parameters set for the base character cannot be further increased, but the base character is reincarnated according to the operation input from the player. The parameter set in can be returned to the initial value. Then, after the character is reincarnated, the upper limit of the parameters set for the base character can be gradually increased by repeating the character synthesis again. Therefore, it is possible to increase the motivation of the player to repeat the character composition. Furthermore, by performing character reincarnation, items are given to the player. Then, after the character is reincarnated, by using this item, it is possible to dramatically strengthen the base character after initialization.
Further, in character reincarnation, since unique items are given to each character, the player's motivation to repeat the synthesis of game contents in order to collect various types of items can be further increased.

=== Other embodiments ===
The above embodiment is for facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and is not for limiting the interpretation of the present invention. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and the present invention also includes an equivalent thereof. In particular, even the embodiments described below are included in the present invention.

<Character reincarnation>
In the above embodiment, by executing the character reincarnation process (privilege grant process), the parameters set for the base character after the maximum evolution are initialized, and the parameters after the initialization set for the base character are initialized. Although the case where an item that can raise the character is given to the player as an example has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the privilege granting processing unit 114 is different from the base character after the maximum evolution by changing the character ID corresponding to the base character after the maximum evolution to a different character ID by referring to the character information shown in FIG. You may give an item that can be changed to another character of the type and can raise the parameters set for that other character. At this time, the privilege granting processing unit 114 may grant a unique item corresponding to the base character. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 15, on the game screen 50 after the character reincarnation, unlike the game screen 50 shown in FIG. 13, the “character B” which is the base character 53 after the reincarnation is displayed. In the parameter of this "character B", an initial value "10" points are set with respect to an initial upper limit value "100" points based on the character information shown in FIG. As a result, after the character is reincarnated, the upper limit of the parameters set for the base character after this change (after exchange) can be gradually increased by repeating the character synthesis again. By doing so, it is possible to increase the motivation of the player to repeat the character composition. Furthermore, by performing character reincarnation, items are given to the player. Then, after the character is reincarnated, it is possible to dramatically strengthen other characters by using this item. In addition, the player can attach the given item not only to the changed base character (other character) but also to other owned characters.
The parameter limit value set for the changed base character (other character) may be set to be larger than the parameter limit value set for the base character before the change. As a result, after the character reincarnation is performed, by repeating the character synthesis, it becomes possible to grow into a stronger base character than before the character reincarnation.

In the above embodiment, when performing character reincarnation, the case where the parameters set in the base character after the maximum evolution are initialized by executing the parameter fluctuation processing has been described as an example, but the present invention has been described. It is not limited to this. For example, the current value of the parameter may be halved or the current value of the parameter may be uniformly lowered to a predetermined value (for example, 0 point) without returning the current value of the parameter to the initial value.

In the above embodiment, the case where the character reincarnation can be performed on the base character after the maximum evolution has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character reaches not only the upper limit value (limit value) set in the third stage but also the upper limit value set in the second stage. Even so, the character may be reincarnated. That is, the character may be reincarnated even in the middle stage before the upper limit of the parameter reaches the limit value.

In the above embodiment, when the parameters set in the base character after the maximum evolution are initialized by performing character reincarnation, the limit values of the parameters set in the base character after the initialization are initialized. It may be reset so that it is larger than the limit value of the parameter set in the previous base character. As a result, after the character reincarnation is performed, by repeating the character synthesis, it becomes possible to grow into a stronger base character than before the character reincarnation.

In the above embodiment, the case where the character can be reincarnated by performing a predetermined input operation at an arbitrary timing has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. The character may be reincarnated automatically. For example, when the determination processing unit 115 determines that the condition is satisfied on the condition that the upper limit value of the parameter set in the base character reaches the upper limit value (limit value) set in the third stage. , The privilege granting process 114 may automatically perform the character reincarnation process (privilege granting process).

<Character composition>
In the above embodiment, when the base character and the material character are the same character, character composition is performed as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the base character and the material character may be characters belonging to the same group or different characters. Further, for example, character composition may be performed when all of a plurality of types of characters associated with the base character can be owned.

Further, in the above embodiment, if the synthesis of the base character and the material character is repeated before the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis is satisfied, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character may be gradually increased. Although described by way of example, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the current value of the parameter set for the base character may be gradually increased up to the upper limit value.

Further, in the above embodiment, when one material character is given to the player, the case where the one material character is synthesized with the base character has been described as an example. The invention is not limited to this. For example, it can also be applied to the case where two or more material characters are given to a player at a time and each material character is continuously combined with the base character.

<Predetermined conditions for character composition>
In the above embodiment, as a predetermined condition for character synthesis, the number of times of synthesis has reached a predetermined number of times (for example, maximum number of times: 3 times) has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. do not have. For example, character synthesis may be repeated with no limit on the number of times of synthesis, and the upper limit of the parameters set for the base character may reach the limit value (maximum value) as a predetermined condition for character synthesis. .. Further, it may be a predetermined condition for character composition that the parameter (current value) of the base character reaches the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character. Alternatively, a combination of the above-mentioned specific conditions may be used as a predetermined condition for character composition.

<Automatic composition>
The above-mentioned automatic composition in the present embodiment can be applied even when a special lottery game is played and a plurality of characters are given to the player at one time. At this time, for example, one character among a plurality of characters given to the player is used as a base character for automatic composition, and the remaining character among the plurality of characters is used as a material character for automatic composition. You may.

<Character assignment process>
In the above-described embodiment, a battle game and a lottery game have been described as examples of the character assignment process, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, a character may be given by clearing a mission given to a player. Further, the player may give a character by inputting the serial code displayed on the Web page or the like. Further, the character may be given by the player logging in to the game system 1. Further, the character may be given by the event provided in the game system 1 (consumption of points in the event, top ranking person).

<Designation of base character>
In the above embodiment, a character designated by the player from among the characters owned by the player may be used for synthesis as a base character, or the synthesis processing unit 113 automatically selects the character regardless of the player's designated operation. You may use the character you have created as a base character for synthesis.

<Server device 10>
In the above embodiment, the game system 1 provided with one server device 10 has been described as an example of the server device, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of server devices 10 are used as an example of the server device. It may be provided as a game system 1. That is, a plurality of server devices 10 may be connected via the network 2, and each server device 10 may perform various processes in a distributed manner.

<Information processing device>
In the game system 1 in the above embodiment, the case where the server device 10 and the player terminal 20 cooperate with each other to execute various information processing based on the game program has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the player terminal 20 alone or the server device 10 alone as the information processing device may execute the above-mentioned various information processing based on the game program.
Further, the player terminal 20 may be configured to play a part of the function as the information processing device. In this case, the server device 10 and the player terminal 20 form an information processing device.
