The player information storage unit 31 of the storage unit 14 stores player information as shown in FIG. 5, for example. FIG. 5 is a block diagram of an example of player information. The player information of FIG. 5 has a player ID, a owned paid stone, an owned free stone, and an owned character information ID as items.

The player ID is an example of identification information for uniquely identifying a player. Owned paid stones represent the number of paid stones owned by the player. The paid stone may have another name such as a jewel or a coin as long as it is paid as a consideration when the paid character is purchased directly or indirectly. Free-owned stones represent the number of free stones owned by the player. The free stone may be another name such as a jewel or a coin as long as it is paid as a consideration when acquiring a free character directly or indirectly. The possessed character information ID is information that associates the owned character information stored in the owned character information storage unit 32 with the player information stored in the player information storage unit 31.

The owned character information storage unit 32 of the storage unit 14 stores the owned character information uniquely identified by the owned character information ID as shown in FIG. 6, for example. FIG. 6 is a block diagram of an example of possessed character information. The possessed character information of FIG. 6 has a character ID, a rank, an attribute, and a type as items.

The character ID is an example of identification information for uniquely identifying a character. The rank represents the rank of the character. The attributes represent the attributes of the character. The type represents the type of character. In FIG. 6, the character with the character ID “c001” having the attribute “warrior” is an example of a paid character, and the character with the character ID “c002” having the attribute “none” is an example of a free character.

The game server device 3 can determine the paid character and the free character owned by the player by referring to the owned character information associated with the owned character information ID of the player information.

The character type identification information storage unit 33 of the storage unit 14 stores, for example, the character type identification information as shown in FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a configuration diagram of an example of character type specific information.
The character type identification information in FIG. 7 is information indicating the type of the third character generated by synthesis from the combination of the first character and the second character type that are the synthesis source (material character).

For example, in the example of FIG. 7, the type of the third character generated by synthesis from the combination of the characters of the type "angel" and "spirit" is "genie", and the combination of the characters of the type "spirit" and "genie". The type of the third character generated by synthesis from is "angel". By using the character type identification information of FIG. 7 in this way, it is possible to specify the type of the third character generated by synthesis from the combination of the first and second character types.

The character identification information storage unit 34 of the storage unit 14 stores character identification information as shown in FIG. 8, for example. FIG. 8 is a block diagram of an example of character identification information. The character identification information in FIG. 8 is a third character generated by synthesis from the average of the ranks of the first character and the second character (material character rank average) that are the synthesis source (material character), and the third character. This is the information shown for each type of.

For example, in the example of FIG. 8, the numbers described at the positions corresponding to the “material character rank average” and the “third character type” indicate the rank of the third character. The character is uniquely specified by the type and rank. In the example of FIG. 8, when the average material character rank is "1 to 9" and the type of the third character is "angel", the rank "3" of the third character can be specified, so that the third character is generated by synthesis. As the third character to be created, a character of type "angel" and rank "3" can be specified.

Further, in the example of FIG. 8, the combination of the ranks of the first and second characters that generate the third character by synthesis is not one pattern. For example, the combinations of the ranks of the first and second characters that generate the third character of the type "genie" and the rank "39" by synthesis are as follows.

このように、第３のキャラクタを合成により生成する第１及び第２のキャラクタのランクの組み合わせが１パターンでないため、本実施形態ではプレイヤが所望の第３のキャラクタを合成により生成し易い。また、ランク３９の魔神を１キャラクタとすることで、プレイヤは更に所望の第３のキャラクタを生成し易くなる。なお、ランク３９の魔神を複数キャラクタとしてランダム性を追加してもよい。

As described above, since the combination of the ranks of the first and second characters for generating the third character by synthesis is not one pattern, in the present embodiment, it is easy for the player to generate the desired third character by synthesis. Further, by setting the genie of rank 39 as one character, the player can more easily generate a desired third character. Randomness may be added by using a rank 39 genie as a plurality of characters.

The character information storage unit 35 of the storage unit 14 stores character information as shown in FIG. 9, for example. FIG. 9 is a block diagram of an example of character information. The character information in FIG. 9 is information indicating the ability information of the character for each attribute of the character. The character information in FIG. 9 has items such as purchase price, free acquisition method, HP, and availability of skill for each attribute.

The purchase price represents the consideration for purchasing a paid character (for example, the number of paid stones). Free characters with the attribute "None" are not obtained by purchase, so the purchase price is "-". The free acquisition method represents an acquisition method other than the purchase of a free character. Since paid characters can only be obtained by direct or indirect purchase, the free acquisition method is "-".

The availability of HP and skills is an example of character ability information. FIG. 9 shows substitute, dodge, recovery magic, and attack magic as examples of skills. As shown in FIG. 9, the HP and available skills of the character differ depending on the attribute. Therefore, when the player directly or indirectly purchases a paid character, he / she expects to acquire a paid character having a desired combination of type and attribute, and therefore must acquire a paid character having a desired combination of type and attribute. If you do, you may feel a great deal of disappointment.

In the present embodiment, even if the combination of the acquired paid character type and the attribute is not the desired combination, a mechanism is provided in which the combination of the type and the attribute can be changed by synthesizing with another character. Therefore, the player can generate and own a paid character having a desired combination of type and attribute.

<Processing>
《Synthesis processing》
In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, the character composition process is executed by the procedure of FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of an example of character composition processing. The player operates the operation reception unit 50 to select two material characters. Proceeding to step S11, the synthesis instruction unit 63 of the client terminal 2 accepts the selection of two material characters based on the content of the operation received from the player by the operation reception unit 50. The composition instruction unit 63 transmits the composition instruction of the two material characters received from the player to the game server device 3.

The synthesis processing unit 23 of the game server device 3 determines whether or not the paid characters are included in the two material characters based on the player's instruction to synthesize the two material characters received from the client terminal 2. If the paid character is included, the synthesis processing unit 23 proceeds to step S13, and performs the synthesis process of the paid character and the free character by the synthesis process with the attribute. On the other hand, if the paid characters are not included, the synthesis processing unit 23 proceeds to step S14 and performs a synthesis process of free characters by a synthesis process without attributes.

The synthesis process with attributes in step S13 is performed, for example, by the procedure shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of an example of the synthesis process with attributes. Proceeding to step S21, the synthesis processing unit 23 refers to the character type identification information of FIG. 7, and a character (third character) generated by synthesis from a combination of two material characters (first and second characters) types. ) Specify the type.

Proceeding to step S22, the synthesis processing unit 23 calculates the average value of the ranks of the material characters (material character rank average) from the ranks of the two material characters. Proceeding to step S23, the synthesis processing unit 23 refers to the character identification information in FIG. 8, and which material character rank average range (row) of the character identification information in FIG. 8 corresponds to the material character rank average calculated in step S22. judge. For example, if the material character rank average calculated in step S22 is "36", it is determined that the line falls within the range "rank 30 to 39" of the material character rank average.

Further, the synthesis processing unit 23 shows the rank of the third character corresponding to the range (row) of the material character rank average applicable to the material character rank average calculated in step S22 and the character type specified in step S21. It is specified from the character specific information of.
Then, the synthesis processing unit 23 generates a third character corresponding to the rank of the specified third character and the type of the character specified in step S21.

Then, the process proceeds to step S24, and the synthesis processing unit 23 selects the attribute of the third character among the material characters so as to inherit the attribute of the paid character. For example, the combination of the first and second characters that generate the third character of "Rank 39 Genie" whose attribute is "Warrior" by synthesis has a plurality of variations as follows.

このように、属性が「戦士」の第３のキャラクタを合成により生成したければ、本実施形態では属性が「戦士」の有料キャラクタと属性が「無し」の無料キャラクタとの組み合わせで合成を行えばよい。なお、本実施形態では、合成処理部２３が素材キャラクタのうち、有料キャラクタの属性を引き継ぐように第３のキャラクタの属性を選択する例を説明したが、無料キャラクタの属性を引き継ぐように第３のキャラクタの属性を選択してもよいし、有料キャラクタ及び無料キャラクタの属性のどちらを引き継ぐかをプレイヤに選択させてもよい。

In this way, if you want to generate a third character with the attribute "warrior" by synthesis, in this embodiment, you can synthesize with a combination of a paid character with the attribute "warrior" and a free character with the attribute "none". Just do it. In the present embodiment, an example in which the synthesis processing unit 23 selects the attribute of the third character among the material characters so as to inherit the attribute of the paid character has been described, but the third is to inherit the attribute of the free character. The attribute of the character may be selected, or the player may be allowed to select whether to inherit the attribute of the paid character or the free character.

Further, the synthesis processing unit 23 may select the attribute of the third character from the combination of the attributes of the first and second material characters based on the attribute specific information as shown in FIG. 12, for example. FIG. 12 is a configuration diagram of an example of attribute specific information. The attribute specific information in FIG. 12 is information indicating the attribute of the third character generated by synthesis from the combination of the attributes of the material characters.

<< Hint display processing >>
In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, a hint display of a character generated by synthesizing a material character as shown in FIG. 13 is performed. FIG. 13 is an image diagram of an example of hint display.

For example, before the synthesis processing unit 23 starts the synthesis process, the hint information creation unit 25 of the game server device 3 generates hint information for displaying the hint of FIG. 13 based on an instruction from the player. In the hint display of FIG. 13, the alphabet surrounded by a large square represents a character, the symbol surrounded by a small square below the large square represents the attribute of the character, and is surrounded by a circle under the large square. The symbol indicates the type of character.

Further, in the hint display of FIG. 13, the character whose large square is a solid line is a character owned by the player, and the character whose large square is a dotted line is a character not owned by the player. A character whose large square is a thick line is a paid character, and a character whose large square is a thin line is a free character. Further, the hint display in FIG. 13 is an example of selecting the attribute of the third character so as to inherit the attribute of the paid character.

The hint display of FIG. 13 can be realized by the hint information creation unit 25 of the game server device 3 creating hint information from the player information, possessed character information, character type identification information, and character identification information described above. According to the hint display of FIG. 13, a third character that is easily generated by synthesis can be shown to the player as a hint based on the paid character and the free character owned by the player.

In the hint display of FIG. 13, for example, the paid characters and free characters necessary for synthetically generating the character "Z" whose attribute is "warrior" and whose type is "angel" to be finally generated are trees for multiple generations. It may be shown in a diagram.

For example, the player who confirmed the hint display in FIG. 13 can generate the free character "P" generated by synthesizing the free characters "R" and "S" without purchasing the paid character "A" that he does not own. For example, it can be easily confirmed that the character "Z" whose attribute is "warrior" and whose type is "angel" can be finally generated by synthesis. As described above, the hint display of FIG. 13 facilitates the player to generate a desired third character by synthesis.

<< Character addition processing to character specific information >>
For example, in a game in which a character is added after the service starts, it is necessary to add the character to the character identification information in FIG. FIG. 14 is an image diagram of an example of processing for adding a character to the character specific information. 14A shows an example of character identification information before adding a character, and FIG. 14B shows an example of character identification information after adding a character. For example, when a genie of rank 29 is added, the character identification information in FIG. 14A becomes the character identification information in FIG. 14B.

In FIG. 14 (B), the range “rank 20 to 29 and rank 30 to 39” of the material character rank average of FIG. 14 (A) is “rank 20 to 25, rank 26 to 29, rank 30 to 35 and rank 36 to 39”. Has been changed to. Further, in FIG. 14B, a character of "Rank 29 Genie" corresponding to the range "Rank 26 to Rank 35" of the average material character rank is added. For example, when the synthesis processing unit 23 of the game server device 3 synthesizes the "angel of rank 12" and the "spirit of rank 55" based on the synthesis instruction by the player received from the client terminal 2, FIG. 14 (A) shows. A "genie of rank 39" is generated, but in FIG. 14B, a "genie of rank 29" is generated. Therefore, even if the same material character is added, the character generated by the synthesis processing unit 23 changes depending on the addition of the character. The game operator may change the character identification information as appropriate even when the character is deleted as well as the character is added.

(summary)
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the player can generate another paid character having a different combination of attributes and types from a paid character having a combination of certain attributes and types by synthesizing with the free character. Therefore, even if the combination of the attributes and types of the acquired paid characters does not meet the expectations, the player can acquire the paid characters whose contents meet the expectations by combining with the free characters.

The character that can be generated by synthesizing the paid character and the free character may be a character that cannot be generated by synthesizing the free characters, and the value of the composition may be increased. Further, the character that can be generated by synthesizing the paid character and the free character may be a character that the player can directly or indirectly purchase by purchasing at a shop or by lottery such as gacha. Further, the character (third character) generated by the synthesis processing unit 23 is at least the first character and the second character, which are the synthesis sources, and character-specific information such as attributes, types, ranks, names, and designs. Any of them may be different characters.

Further, the player may allow the paid character (third character) generated by the composition to be combined with the free character many times. As a result, in the present embodiment, in order to generate a desired pay character by synthesis, the player only needs to own one pay character, does not need another pay character, and reduces the burden on the player.
