[Embodiment 1]
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. FIG.

(Overview of the game)
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of a game example implemented by the game program according to this embodiment. FIG. 3 shows a situation in which the player places his character (game media) 1 on the right side and three enemy characters (game media) 2 to 4 are placed. The game program realizes, for example, a battle game between characters. However, in order to explain the game program according to the present invention, the fighting game is merely an example of a game implemented by the game program. A variety of games such as amusement games and camp games can be further realized.

As exemplified in FIG. 3, the player provides input information (e.g., touch By performing an operation), the character 1 owned by the player can move from the player's own camp (or an area where there are no enemies) to the vicinity of the enemy camp, and can start fighting against the enemy characters 2-4.

As exemplified in FIG. 4A, a character 1 starts a game battle, repeatedly attacks, or is attacked by an enemy character 2 . For example, as illustrated in (B) of FIG. 4, the attack of character 1 directly hits enemy character 2 (if enemy character 2 avoids the attack by character 1, the enemy character 2 cannot be damaged).

As exemplified in FIG. 5, when the character 1 wins the game match, the character 1 obtains an experience value, a GP (Game Point), and a rank point (if defeated, the experience value, the GP, and the rank points may not be earned). Character 1, illustrated in FIG. 5, has a rank of "corporal", indicating that characters 2-4 have been defeated. In addition to experience points, GP and rank points are given.

As exemplified in FIG. 6, the player can set which character is to be used in the battle, what kind of unit of the character group is to be used in the battle, etc. before the battle of the game. Specifically, (a) characters who are opponent candidates are displayed according to the player's rank (for example, corporal). A player selects an opponent via the mobile terminal 10 . (b) The player selects a unit, which is a character or a group of characters to fight against. (c) It is possible to instruct the start of a match. (d) By paying GP, you can switch characters as opponent candidates any number of times (candidate opponents by switching are randomly selected, and the number of switching can be limited to a certain number of times, GP You can also limit by increasing or decreasing). The server device 20 acquires the information on these (a) to (d) as input information by the input information acquisition unit 25 via the portable terminal 10 .

As illustrated in (A) of FIG. 7, a player may be promoted in rank when he or she wins a match. Also, as illustrated in FIG. 7B, the player may be demoted in rank if he or she loses the match.

In this way, the competitive game realized by the above game program differs from the conventional game in which the player gains experience points by repeating battles to increase the player's rank. By evaluating the points (eg, experience points, GP, rank points, etc.) for raising the character by various evaluation axes, the rank of the character in the game changes. Therefore, the above-described game program can realize a highly interesting game that will keep a player with a low proficiency level from getting bored.

(Configuration of server device 20)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the main configuration of the server device 20. As shown in FIG. The server device (computer) 20 is an information processing device capable of executing a game program including the processing described below. Specific devices are not limited to servers as long as they are capable of executing the processing, and may be, for example, workstations, mainframes, or any other computers.

As exemplified in FIG. 1, the server device 20 includes an evaluation value calculation unit 30 that calculates an evaluation value that can rank a plurality of players, and based on the result of the player playing a predetermined game, a player classification unit 40 for classifying the plurality of players according to the evaluation values; , an increase/decrease evaluation unit 45 that ranks each of the plurality of players by classification, and a display output unit 50 that outputs display information for displaying at least one of the evaluation value, the increase/decrease value, and the classification information indicating the classification. and The server device 20 further includes an input information acquisition section 25 (not shown), an opponent player selection section 55 , a classification change notification section 60 , a storage section 65 , a control section 70 and a communication section 75 . Moreover, the server device 20 may further include a display unit (not shown).

The control unit 70 comprehensively controls various functions of the server device 20 . The control unit 70 includes an evaluation value calculation unit 30, an evaluation value increase/decrease unit 35, a player classification unit 40, an increase/decrease evaluation unit 45, a display output unit 50, a condition determination unit 52, an opponent player selection unit 55, a classification change notification unit 60, and a memory. The unit 65 and the communication unit 75 may be included.

The input information acquisition unit 25 acquires input information given by the player through the operation interface displayed on the game screen of the mobile terminals 10A to 10C. It should be noted that the input information may be information including placement information of the character 1, battle information that selects the type of battle (information that selects what kind of attack to perform), item usage information, and the like.

The input information acquisition unit 25 determines the placement location of the base according to the input information and moves the character (game medium) 1 that the player intends to fight. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a "battle interface" operated by the player to make the character 1 fight. As exemplified in FIG. 3, the display output unit 50 outputs display information for displaying the game screen including the battle interface on the display unit (the display unit provided in the mobile terminal 10 or the server) to the display unit. be able to. Further, the display output unit 50 can output to the display unit display information for displaying the character 1 on the display unit so that the character 1 fights against any of the characters 2 to 4. FIG.

For example, in the game screen, the input information is received by the input information acquisition unit so that the character 1 who starts the battle moves from the right side of the field to the center square of the field included in the battle interface as illustrated in FIG. 25 (when the player touches the input surface of the mobile terminal 10), the control unit 70 causes the character 1 to start fighting as shown in FIG. 4A. When the player selects an attack (for example, "roar" in the example shown in FIG. 4), the character 1 attacks the character 2 as shown in FIG. 4B. If the character 1 is able to reduce the physical strength value of the character 2 (illustrated as an “HP” gauge) to a predetermined value or less (for example, zero), the control unit 70 determines that the character 1 is defeated, the updated game content information regarding the character 1 is transmitted to the input information acquisition unit 25 . The input information acquisition section 25 outputs the game content information to the storage section 65 and the display output section 50 . Note that the method of determining victory or defeat is not limited to the method described above, and the control unit 70 can also determine, for example, by comparing the physical strength values of character 1 and character 2 after a predetermined period of time.

Note that the control unit 70, via the input information acquisition unit 25 that has received the input information instructed from the mobile terminal 10, performs (a) an enemy character on a public battlefield, as shown in FIG. (b) You can choose to fight an enemy character in a private battlefield (eg, a battlefield managed by another player). Also, the control unit 70 can select a character. Also, the control unit 70 (a) selects the fighting style of its own character, (b) selects which character from a plurality of characters through the input information acquisition unit 25 that has received the input information instructed from the mobile terminal 10 . It is possible to select whether to use it, (c) select which enemy character to fight, and the like. As a result, the game program can freely adjust the difficulty of the game, so that variations of the game can be increased.

The storage unit 65 stores game content information (information about game content) about the character 1 in a predetermined storage device so that the character 1 can be managed by the player via the interface of the mobile terminal 10 . In this embodiment, the predetermined storage device is installed in a server device 20 communicably connected to the mobile terminal 10 via a predetermined network (for example, the Internet). Therefore, (1) the storage unit 65 acquires the game content information input from the input information acquisition unit 25, and (2) the game content information is associated with a player identifier that can uniquely identify the player. , is stored in the predetermined storage device (cloud storage). As a result, the game program can centrally manage the game content information received from the mobile terminals 10 operated by the players.

On the other hand, the portable terminal 10 may include the predetermined storage device (local storage), and the storage unit 65 may store the game content information in the predetermined storage device. As a result, the game program allows the player to enjoy the game even when the portable terminal 10 is in an environment in which communication with an external device is not possible. In the following description, only an example in which the game program stores arbitrary information in the cloud storage will be described, but it goes without saying that the arbitrary information may be stored in the local storage.

The storage unit 65 updates the game content information about the characters stored in the predetermined storage device so that the ranks of the characters (characters 1 to 4) managed by the player change as the game progresses. . Specifically, the storage unit 65 updates the game content information by generating update information indicating that the rank of the character has been updated over time in the game.

The storage unit 65 (a) changes the experience points, GP, and class points according to victory or defeat of the character in the game, and (b) changes the experience points, GP, and class points in the game to change the character. The game medium information of the character whose rank has been changed can be updated.

The evaluation value calculation unit (calculation function, calculation unit) 30 calculates experience points, GP, and class points that increase or decrease depending on the victory or defeat of the fighting character 1 in the battle. The evaluation value calculation unit 30 calculates rank points using a predetermined rating coefficient. is set in advance as a table, and calculation is performed based on the results of the table. Also, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 accumulates or subtracts the class points for each match, but may calculate so that the points are easily increased when winning and less likely to be decreased when losing. In addition, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 accumulates and calculates the GP according to the victory of the match (however, it may be decreased depending on the game settings). In addition, the evaluation value calculation unit 30 accumulates and calculates the experience points according to the victory of the match (however, the experience points may be decreased depending on the game settings).

The evaluation value increase/decrease unit (increase/decrease function, increase/decrease unit) 35 increases /decreases the evaluation value (eg, class points, GP, experience points, or at least one of these combined values) calculated by the evaluation value calculation unit 30. (experience points, GP, class points may all be increased or decreased). The evaluation value increase/decrease unit 35 may adjust the increase/decrease of class points according to the class difference between the own player and the enemy player, for example. Moreover, the evaluation value increasing/decreasing unit 35 may or may not increase the class points according to the player's victory. In addition, the evaluation value increasing/decreasing unit 35 may or may not decrease the rank points due to the player's defeat (if the player's rank is lower than the enemy player's rank, the rank points are reduced). may be omitted).

A condition determination unit (determination function, determination unit) 52 determines whether at least one of the evaluation value and the increase/decrease value exceeds a predetermined threshold set according to the classification, as one of the determination conditions. Judge as. Also, when it is determined that the predetermined threshold value is exceeded, the player classification unit 40 reclassifies the player having the determined evaluation value or increase/decrease value. The condition determination unit 52 may further determine the number of players belonging to the classification by the player classification unit 40 as one of the determination conditions.

As one of the determination conditions, the condition determination unit 52 determines whether at least one of the evaluation value and the increase/decrease value exceeds a predetermined threshold value provided according to the classification. Also, when it is determined that the predetermined threshold value is exceeded, the player classification unit 40 reclassifies the player having the determined evaluation value or increase/decrease value. The condition determination unit 52 may further determine the number of players belonging to the classification by the player classification unit 40 as one of the determination conditions.

The opponent player selection unit (selection function, selection unit) 55 selects another player having an evaluation value similar to the evaluation value calculated for the player, or another player belonging to substantially the same classification as the classification to which the player belongs. A player is selected as an opponent player with whom the player plays the predetermined game in multiplay.

The player classifying section (classifying function, classifying section) 40 classifies a plurality of players according to evaluation values. FIG. 8 shows the configuration of rank evaluation axes. As shown in FIG. 8, the player classification unit 40 sets different evaluation axes for classifying players according to the upper layer (upper class), middle layer (middle class), and lower layer (lower class). can be set. In addition, FIG. 9 shows the upper layer (upper class), the middle layer (middle class), the lower layer (lower class), and the highest class (highest class), which is a special layer. It shows the composition of the rank. For example, the upper ranks consist of the ranks of general, lieutenant general, and major general, and the middle ranks consist of the ranks of colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, first lieutenant, second lieutenant, major sergeant, sergeant, and corporal. consists of the ranks Private First Class, Private First Class, Private First Class, and Trainee. The higher ranks may further have the highest rank (highest rank) above them, and the highest rank (highest rank) constitutes the rank of Marshal. In the lower layer, the player classification unit 40 makes a determination each time according to the value of the class points. Specifically, the player classifying unit 40 classifies the player as a lower class by obtaining class points equal to or higher than the prescribed threshold value for the lower class determined by the condition determining unit 52 . In other words, the lower tier consists of players who have obtained rank points below the prescribed threshold for becoming the middle tier determined by the condition determination unit 52 . Note that there is no demotion from lower tiers to lower tiers, and there are no rankings within lower tiers.

For example, in the middle class, the player classification unit 40 performs determination according to the value of class points for each period (for example, one week). Specifically, the player classification unit 40 (a) determines the evaluation setting differently depending on the rank of the middle class, (c) obtained by winning the battle or calculated by the condition determination unit 52; In addition, it is determined by the total number of class points or the number of class points above a specified threshold, or (d) if the class points are less than a certain amount, a decision is made to demote to a lower class. Classify players. In other words, the player classification unit 40 promotes the player from the lower tier to the middle tier when the player's class points reach the middle tier threshold. Players in the middle tier are further classified into multiple groups based on rank points for each rank. ranking based on When the increase/decrease value becomes equal to or greater than a specified threshold value by the condition determination unit 52, the group can be promoted to a higher group within the middle layer. In addition, when the earned tier points reach the upper tier threshold, you can be promoted to a higher tier.

For example, the player classifying unit 40 makes determinations in the upper layer according to class points and ranking conditions for each period (for example, one week). Specifically, the player classification unit 40 (a) determines the setting of evaluation differently depending on the rank of the upper layer, and (b) sets a formula for calculating a joint evaluation rating for the same rank (class). and (c) the total number of class points obtained by winning the match or calculated by the condition determination unit 52, or the class points exceeding a prescribed threshold. , or by ranking, or (d) if the class points are below a certain level, it is determined that the player will be demoted to the middle class. In other words, the player classification unit 40 ranks all the players belonging to the higher rank based on the rank points acquired within a predetermined period (that is, the increase/decrease value of the rank points). Determine rank within a tier. Each rank has a fixed number of people, and the number is determined in order from the general rank. In addition, when the highest class (highest class) is provided above the upper class, the ranks are determined in order from the marshal, which is the rank that constitutes the highest class. In the above example, the rank is determined based on class points, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other evaluation values such as GP, experience points, or a composite value of these may be determined based on

The increase/decrease evaluation unit (increase/decrease evaluation function) 45 uses an increase/decrease value that is an increase/decrease in any of the class points, GP, experience points, and combined value calculated during the above-described classification, and ranks each player. conduct.

A display output unit (display output function) 50 outputs an evaluation value, a At least one of the increment/decrement value and the classification information indicating the classification is displayed. The display output unit 50 may notify the player of the event of the player's rank upgrade or demotion by displaying the promotion/demotion on the display unit, as shown in FIG. .

The classification change notification unit (classification change notification function) 60 notifies the player of the change in classification when the classification to which the player belongs is changed by the player classification unit 40 .
