(Overview of information processing equipment)
The information processing device according to the present embodiment is, for example, a terminal device such as a multifunctional mobile phone (so-called “smartphone”) owned by a player. The information processing device may be a server device that can be connected to the terminal device of the player via a communication network. The information processing apparatus can advance at least one type of game by storing the game application program and executing the instructions included in the game application program. Hereinafter, a case where the game provided by the information processing device is a battle game will be described as an example.

(Outline of the game)
1 and 2 are diagrams showing an example of an outline of a game provided by an information processing device. The plurality of games shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are a battle game between one or a plurality of player game media operated by a player and an enemy game medium. In the example of the battle game shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the players participating in the plurality of battle games are the same player. The "game medium" is electronic data used in a game progressing in an information processing device, and is, for example, a character, an item, or the like. The "game medium" is not limited to characters and items, and may be, for example, an avatar or a card, and the game medium may be points, parameters, or the like. The "game medium" is any electronic data that can be acquired, owned, used, managed, exchanged, synthesized, enhanced, sold, discarded, and / or gifted by the player in the game according to the progress of the game. Such data may be used. Further, the usage mode of the "game medium" is not limited to that specified in the present specification.

The player game medium shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a player character (player character). The player game medium may be a card or avatar owned by the player. The player game medium may be any game element on the player side that appears (displays and / or is operated) in the battle game. The player game medium performs various actions in the battle game according to the player's operation on the information processing device or the player's operation on the terminal device connected to the information processing device. The action is, for example, an attack on an enemy game medium, a defense against an attack from an enemy game medium, an activation of a skill for changing a parameter (HP (Hit Point), etc.) of the player game medium, and the like.

The enemy game medium shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a character, a card, an avatar, or the like that automatically performs an action in a battle game when an information processing device executes a command included in a game application program. The enemy game medium may be any game element that appears in the battle game and is the opponent of the player game medium. Further, the enemy game medium may be another player game medium operated by another player different from the player who operates the player game medium.

The battle game shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a so-called raid battle game in which a plurality of players collaborate to play against one or a plurality of enemy game media using their respective player game media. The battle game may be a one-person battle game in which one player plays against one or a plurality of game media.

A time limit is set for competitive games. It is determined whether the player game medium has won or lost the enemy game medium, or the game has not been decided within the time limit after the start of the battle game.

"Victory of the player game medium" in the battle game means that the parameter of the player game medium (for example, HP) does not reach a predetermined defeat determination value (for example, "0 (zero)") and the parameter of the enemy game medium (for example, "0 (zero)"). For example, HP) has reached a predetermined defeat determination value. Further, in the "defeat of the player game medium" in the battle game, the parameter of the player game medium (for example, HP) is predetermined without the parameter of the enemy game medium (for example, HP) reaching a predetermined defeat determination value. It means that the defeat judgment value has been reached. The victory and defeat of the player game medium may be referred to as the victory and defeat of the player using the player game medium.

In a competitive game, if the victory or defeat of the player game medium is not determined within the time limit (for example, the parameter of the player game medium (for example, HP) and the parameter of the enemy game medium (for example, HP) are both predetermined. If the defeat determination value is not reached), the result of the match game is determined to be "time out".

As described above, there are three types of results of the battle game: "player victory", "player defeat", and "time out".

(1) of FIG. 1 shows an example of a battle game between a player game medium and an enemy game medium. In the example shown in FIG. 1 (1), a battle game between two player game media operated by the player and an enemy game medium is executed. In a battle game against an enemy game medium, one player game medium operated by the player may play against the enemy game medium, and three or more player game media operated by the player play against the enemy game medium. May be good.

Each time the player participates in the battle game, the player sets the player game medium used in the battle game. The player game medium is associated with information indicating the number of times the player game medium can be used in a competitive game (hereinafter, may be referred to as "usable number of times") and information regarding the maximum number of times of use.

When the battle game shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a raid battle game, "the player participates in the battle game" means that the player participates in the raid battle game as a host player unless otherwise specified. be. When the battle game shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a one-person battle game, "the player participates in the battle game" means that the player participates in the one-person game. The player game medium used in the battle game may be referred to as "player game medium participating in the battle game".

The usable number of times is a numerical value that decreases by "1" each time the player game medium is used. That is, when the player sets the player game medium to be used in the battle game when he / she participates in the battle game, the number of times that the player can be used associated with the set player game medium is reduced by "1".

The information regarding the upper limit of the number of times of use is numerical information indicating the upper limit of the number of times the player game medium is used in the battle game. For example, a player game medium associated with "2 times" as the upper limit of the number of times of use can be used in a maximum of 2 battle games. In addition, when the number of times the player game medium can be used, which has decreased due to being used in the battle game, increases due to the use of a predetermined recovery game medium (recovery item, etc.), the maximum number of times the player game medium can be used is reached. , The number of times it can be used is restored (increased).

In (1) of FIG. 1, "2/2" and "4/4" are shown as "usable number of times / upper limit number of times of use" for each of the two player game media. That is, the upper limit of the number of times the player game medium showing "2/2" is used in the battle game is two times, and this player is used before the start of the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1). The game medium can be used twice. Further, the maximum number of times that the player game medium indicated by "4/4" is used in the battle game is four times, and this player is used before the start of the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1). The game medium can be used four times.

Although one enemy game medium appears in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1), two or more enemy game media may appear in the battle game. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 1 (1), the level of the enemy game medium is "5". The level of the enemy game medium may be any level.

The "level" is a parameter indicating the strength of the enemy game medium in the competitive game. For example, the higher the level of the enemy game medium, the higher the value of at least one of various parameters (attack power, defensive power, HP, etc.) of the enemy game medium used in the battle game is set. That is, the higher the level of the enemy game medium, the more difficult it is for the player game medium to defeat the enemy game medium.

The level may be set for the player game medium as well, and the higher the level of the player game medium, the higher the value of at least one of the various parameters (attack power, defensive power, HP, etc.) of the player game medium is set. To. That is, the higher the level of the player game medium, the easier it is to defeat the enemy game medium.

The player instructs to use the specific game medium and also gives an instruction to participate in the battle game with the enemy game medium. The "instruction" by the player is input to the information processing device according to an operation signal corresponding to the operation of the player on the information processing device or the operation of the player on the terminal device connected to the information processing device.

The specific game medium is a predetermined type of item among the items owned by the player. The specific game medium may be a card, an avatar, a character, points, a virtual monetary value (coin, etc.). Note that "the player owns the game medium" means that the information about the game medium is associated with the information about the player as a game medium that the player can use, sell, dispose of, or transfer during the game. The information about the game medium is, for example, the game medium identification information (game medium ID (identification) for identifying the game medium, and the information about the player is, for example, the player identification information (player ID) for identifying the player. be.

In the example shown in FIG. 1 (1), the player instructs to use the three specific game media and gives an instruction to participate in the competitive game. Only when the player instructs to use the specific game medium, the player can instruct to participate in the competitive game. For example, when the player instructs to use a specific game medium, an operation screen for instructing participation in a competitive game is displayed. Further, for example, it may be controlled so that the battle game is not started unless the player instructs to use the specific game medium after the player gives an instruction to participate in the battle game. Further, for example, the battle game may be started in response to the player's participation in the battle game and the player's instruction to use the specific game medium. Even if the player is not instructed to use the specific game medium, the battle game may be started by the player instructing to participate in the battle game.

In the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1), when the player game medium wins the enemy game medium, the reward A is given to the player. "The reward is given to the player" means that the information about the reward is associated with the information about the player. The information regarding the reward is, for example, reward identification information (reward ID) for identifying the reward. When the reward is a game medium, the reward (game medium) may be given as the game medium owned by the player by "giving the reward to the player".

The reward A shown in FIG. 1 (1) is given to the player who operates the player game medium that has won the enemy game medium in the battle game. Further, the reward A corresponds to the usage status of the specific game medium instructed along with the participation of the player in the battle game.

In the example shown in FIG. 1 (1), the usage status of the specific game medium is "three specific game media have been used". That is, the reward A corresponds to three specific game media. For example, the larger the number of specific game media used, the more reward A is given to the player. Further, as the number of specific game media used increases, a reward A having a high value in the game may be given to the player. Further, as the number of specific game media used increases, the player may be given a reward A having a high degree of rarity in the game. As a result, the information processing device can give a better reward to the player as the player uses the specific game medium, and can improve the motivation of the player to continue the competitive game.

(2) of FIG. 1 shows another example of a battle game between a player game medium and an enemy game medium. The battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2) is a battle game started after the battle game in which the player game medium has won, as shown in FIG. 1 (1).

In the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2), the two player game media used in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1) are used. The number of times the player game medium that can be used before the start of the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1) is "2 times" is the number of times that the player game medium can be used before the start of the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2). , "1 time" which is obtained by subtracting "1 time" from "2 times". Further, the player game medium whose usable number of times before the start of the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1) was "4 times" can be used before the start of the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2). The number of times is "3 times" obtained by subtracting "1 time" from "4 times".

In the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2), one or more player game media different from the two player game media used in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1) may be used. Further, in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2), a part of the player game media of the two player game media used in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1) may be used. .. In the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2), a part of the player game media of the two player game media used in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1) and the two player game media are used. May be used with one or more different player game media.

The level of the enemy game medium appearing in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2) is shown in the usage status of the specific game medium in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1) and in FIG. 1 (1). It is set based on the level of the enemy game medium that appeared in the battle game. For example, the level change value according to the usage status of the specific game medium in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1) is determined, and the level of the enemy game medium appearing in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1) is set. , The level calculated by adding the determined level change values is set as the level of the enemy game medium appearing in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2). In addition, based on the usage situation of the specific game medium in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1) and the maximum value of HP or MP of the enemy game medium appearing in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1). The maximum value of HP or MP of the enemy game medium appearing in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2) may be set.

In the example shown in FIGS. 1 (1) and 1 (2), "3" is determined as the level change value according to the three specific game media used in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1). .. Next, "8" calculated by adding the level change value "3" to the level "5" of the enemy game medium appearing in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1) is shown in FIG. It is set as the level of the enemy game medium that appears in the battle game shown in (2).

The level change value related to the enemy game medium appearing in the battle game in which the player participates is a value larger as the number of the specific game media used in the battle game in which the player participates immediately before increases. Further, the level change value related to the enemy game medium appearing in the battle game in which the player participates may be a smaller value as the number of the specific game media used in the battle game in which the player participates immediately before increases. In addition, the level change value related to the enemy game medium appearing in the battle game in which the player participates corresponds to a random number calculated using the number of specific game media used in the battle game in which the player participated immediately before as a seed. It may be a random integer value.

Although one enemy game medium appears in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2), two or more enemy game media may appear in the battle game. When there are two or more enemy game media appearing in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2), the level of each enemy game medium is the use of the specific game medium in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1). It is the same level set based on the situation and the level of the enemy game medium appearing in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1). When there are two or more enemy game media appearing in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2), the level of some of the enemy game media is the specific game medium in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1). The level may be set based on the usage status of the above and the level of the enemy game medium appearing in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (1), and the level of the other enemy game medium may be the set level. It may be at a different level.

In the example shown in FIG. 1 (2), the player instructs to use the five specific game media and gives an instruction to participate in the competitive game. In the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2), when the player game medium wins the enemy game medium, the reward B according to the usage status of the specific game medium in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2) is the player. Is given to. That is, the reward B corresponds to five specific game media. For example, the reward B is a reward having a higher value than the reward A. Further, the reward B may be a reward having a higher rarity than the reward A. When the reward A is a predetermined number of rewards (for example, 3 items) corresponding to the number of used specific game media (3 items), the reward B is the number of used specific game media (5 items). It may be a predetermined number of rewards (for example, 5 items) corresponding to.

FIG. 1 (3) shows an example of a player game medium and an enemy game medium when the player who has won the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2) next plays the battle game.

As shown in FIG. 1 (3), in FIG. 1 (3) of the player game medium in which the usable number of times before the start of the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2) was "1 time". The number of times that the battle game shown can be used before the start is "0 times", which is obtained by subtracting "1 time" from "1 time". Further, the player game medium whose usable number of times before the start of the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2) was "3 times" can be used before the start of the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (3). The number of times is "2 times", which is obtained by subtracting "1 time" from "3 times".

The player cannot use the player game medium whose usable number of times is "0 times" in the next battle game played by the player who has won the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2). "The player game medium cannot be used in the battle game" means that the player game medium whose usable number of times is "0 times" is not displayed or used on the screen for selecting the player game medium to be used in the battle game. The player game medium whose possible number of times is "0 times" is displayed as not being selected. In the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (3), one or more player game media different from the two player game media used in the battle games shown in FIGS. 1 (1) and (2) are used. You may.

The level of the enemy game medium shown in FIG. 1 (3) is a level change value according to the usage status of the specific game medium in the battle game shown in FIG. 1 (2), and is shown in FIG. 1 (2).

And / or the order of the steps can be changed, and processing procedures in which such omissions, additions, and changes are made are also included in the scope of the present invention as long as they do not deviate from the gist of the present invention.

As described in detail above, in the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the next battle game is based on the result of the battle game in which the player participates and the usage status of the specific game medium when the player participates in the battle game. The parameters of the enemy game medium that can be played with are set. Therefore, in the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the player sets the parameters of the enemy game medium appearing in the next battle game according to not only the result of the battle game but also the usage status of the specific game medium by the player. Can be done. This makes it possible to maintain or improve the motivation of the player to continuously play the game by the game system 1 of the present embodiment. Further, the game system 1 of the present embodiment can make an enemy game medium desired by the player appear with a smaller number of executions of the battle game, and can reduce the processing load and / or the communication load of the terminal device 2 and the server device 3. It is possible to reduce the amount and provide the player with an attractive competitive game service without excessively consuming the processing resources of the information processing device.

(Modification 1)
The present invention is not limited to the present embodiment. For example, when the battle game is a raid battle game and the player participates in the raid battle game as a guest player, the player participates in the battle game in which the host player recruits other players without using the specific game medium.

When the player participates in the battle game as a guest player, even if the player wins the enemy game medium, the reward according to the usage status of the specific game medium is not given to the player. On the other hand, when the player wins the enemy game medium, the specific game medium is given to the player as a reward. That is, when the result of the battle game is "player's victory", the progress processing unit 251 adds the number of specific game media given as a reward to the number of possession of specific game media included in the player-related information. Next, the progress processing unit 251 updates the player-related information by substituting the number of possession of the specific game medium included in the player-related information with the number of possession of the specific game medium after addition, and stores the updated player-related information. Store in device 22.

As a result, the player can participate in the battle game as a guest player even if he / she does not own the specific game medium, and can acquire the specific game medium according to the result of the battle game. Further, the player can participate in the battle game as a host player in the later battle game by acquiring the specific game medium in the battle game in which the player participates as a guest player. As described above, the game system 1 of the present embodiment can maintain or improve the player's willingness to continue playing the game.

(Modification 2)
In the usage setting screen 820 shown in FIG. 6B, it may be controlled so that "0" can be set as the number shown in the usage number 821 of the specific game medium. As a result, the player can participate in the competitive game without instructing the use of the specific game medium.

(Modification 3)
In three or more battle games in which the player participates, if the player wins the three or more battle games in a row, the battle game is won in succession even if the usage status of the specific game medium is the same. The more it is, the higher the rate of increase in the level of the enemy game medium may be controlled.

Below, when a battle game is won using one specific game medium, the level of the enemy game medium that can be played in the next battle game is "1" higher than the level of the enemy game medium that was played in the won battle game. The case where it becomes large will be described as an example.

When the player uses one specific game medium each time he / she participates in the battle game and the player wins in succession, if the level of the enemy game medium of the first battle game is "1", the progress processing unit 251 Sets the level of the enemy game medium of the second battle game to "2" ("1 (level of the first enemy game medium)" + "1 (level change value)"). Next, the progress processing unit 251 sets the level of the enemy game medium of the third battle game to "4" ("2 (level of the second enemy game medium)" + "2 (level change value)"). .. As described above, the game system 1 can maintain or improve the player's willingness to continue to play the battle game by increasing the level change value so that the player wins the battle game in succession.

(Modification example 4)
If the game medium used is a battle game and a specific action is successful, the level change value when the player wins the battle game may be changed. For example, if an action with a low success rate (for example, an action with a success rate of less than 10%) is successful, the progress processing unit 251 multiplies the normal level change value by a coefficient larger than 1 to calculate a new level. The change value is used to set the level of the enemy game medium that can be played in the next battle game.

As a result, even when the number of specific game media that can be used is small, the player can challenge a high-level enemy game medium in the next battle game by succeeding in a specific action in the battle game. It is possible to maintain or improve the player's willingness to continue playing the game.

(Modification 5)
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, when the result of the first battle game is "time out", in the second battle game, the player has only a preset number (for example, one) of specific game media. Can only be used. Then, when the player wins the second battle game, the level of the enemy game medium of the third battle game is determined based on the level change value corresponding to the preset number.

In such an example, when the player uses a special item during the battle game in the second battle game, the progress control unit 251 may use a part or all of the specific items used in the first battle game. You may set the level change value related to the level of the enemy game medium that can be played in the third battle game, assuming that it was used in the second battle game.

For example, the result of the first battle game using two specific game media is "time out", and the result of the second battle game using one predetermined specific game medium is "time out". In the case of "player victory", if the player indicates the use of a special item in the second battle game, the level change value related to the level of the enemy game medium that can be played in the third battle game is "3 pieces". "(" 2 "(the number of used specific game media of the first battle game) +" 1 "(the number of used specific game media of the second battle game)) may be used.

Further, if the HP of the enemy game medium at the end of the first battle game is less than 20% of the maximum HP of the enemy game medium, the progress control unit 251 uses the special game medium in the second battle game. Even if you do not, it is considered that part or all of the number of specific items used in the first battle game was used in the second battle game, and the enemy game medium that can be played in the third battle game The level change value corresponding to the level of may be set.

As a result, even if the result of the first battle game is not "player's victory", there is a high possibility that the specific game medium used will not be wasted, and it is possible to maintain or improve the player's willingness to continue the battle game. Will be.

(Modification 6)
Even if the result of the first battle game is "player defeat" and "time out", the level of the enemy game medium that can be played in the second battle game is the enemy game medium that appeared in the first battle game. The level may be set based on the level of the above and the level change value according to the usage status of the specific game medium instructed at the time of participating in the first battle game.

This makes it possible to maintain or improve the motivation of the player who could not win to continue the competitive game.

(Modification 7)
In the usage management table T3, the usable number of times may be changed to the used number of times. In this case, when the battle game ends, the progress processing unit 251 refers to the usage management table T3 and increases the number of times of use associated with the game medium ID of the game medium used in the finished battle game by "1". The usage management table T3 is updated, and the updated usage management table T3 is stored in the storage device 22. Further, when the display area of the reset button 802 included in the selection screen 800 is instructed by the progress processing unit 251 in response to the operation of the input device 24 by the player, the progress processing unit 251 refers to the usage management table T3 and makes a game of all game media. The number of times of use associated with the medium ID is changed to a predetermined number of times (“0 times” or “one or more times and less than the number of times of use immediately before the reset instruction”). Further, the display processing unit 252 displays the owned game medium object 811 whose "usable number of times" has reached the "upper limit number of times" so that it cannot be specified by the player.

(Modification 8)
At least a part of the functions of the progress processing unit 251 and the display processing unit 252 of the terminal device 2 may be realized by the processor 33 of the server device 3. For example, the processor 33 may function as the display processing unit 335 by executing various instructions included in the control program stored in the storage device 32 of the server device 3.
