<<About the game overview>>
Here, an overview of the game provided by the game system 1 of this embodiment will be explained. This game system 1 provides various games played using electronic game cards (virtual cards used in the game; hereinafter also simply referred to as "characters") that are associated with game characters.

<Competitive game>
In the game system 1 of this embodiment, a player can own multiple characters. Players can play competitive games using their own player characters. Specifically, the match processing unit 112 determines an enemy character to be the player's opponent, and based on various parameters (attack power, defense power, physical strength, etc.) set for each of the player character and the enemy character, The winner or loser of the battle between these characters is determined. When the player wins a battle against an enemy character, items held by the enemy character and the enemy character itself are given to the player.

<Lottery game>
In the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, a player can play a lottery game called "Gachagacha" (registered trademark). 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 awarded to a player when one lottery is held. On the other hand, in special lottery games, multiple characters are awarded to players at once when one lottery is held. A player can selectively play either a normal lottery game or a special lottery game. By repeatedly playing this lottery game, players can increase the number of characters they own until they reach the maximum number. Then, the player can play the above-described competitive game using the character that he/she owns.

<Character composition>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, a player selects a base character (hereinafter also referred to as a "base character") from among a plurality of characters that the player owns, and a character to be a composite material (hereinafter referred to as "base character"). Character composition can be performed by combining materials (also called "material characters").

In this embodiment, the benefits that can be given to the player through character composition are different before and after the predetermined conditions regarding character composition are satisfied. In the following description, it is assumed that the predetermined condition regarding character composition is that the number of times character composition has been performed (the number of compositions) has reached a predetermined number.

First, before the number of times of synthesis reaches a predetermined number, if the base character and the material character are the same character, by compositing that material character with the base character, it will be set as the base character before synthesis. The upper limit value of the parameter will be increased, and the value of that parameter will be reset for the base character after combining so that it can increase beyond the upper limit. When character synthesis is performed in this manner, the player cannot own both the base character and the material character, but can only own the base character after being strengthened through synthesis.

Then, when character composition is repeated until the number of times of composition reaches a predetermined number of times, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character increases in stages. In this embodiment, as shown in the character information in Figure 4, the number of times the character can be synthesized is limited to three times, so if character synthesis is repeated three times, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character will reach the limit value. Even if you repeat character synthesis beyond that point, you will no longer be able to increase the upper limit of the parameters set for the base character.

Next, after the number of times of synthesis reaches a predetermined number, if the base character and material character are the same character, each time the material character is synthesized with the base character, it will be set to the base character before synthesis. Although the upper limit value (limit value) of the specified parameter cannot be further increased, the player will be granted benefits based on the characteristics set for that material character. When character composition is performed in this manner, the player cannot own the material character, but can continue to own only the base character, and can obtain benefits based on the characteristics of the material character. In this embodiment, as mentioned above, the number of times of compositing is limited to three times, so each time you perform character compositing for the fourth, fifth, sixth, etc., the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character ( Although there is no change in the limit value), benefits based on the characteristics of the material character will be granted to the player.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the benefits based on the characteristics of the material character differ depending on the rarity class set for the material character. Specifically, if the rarity of the material character is a class of rare or higher, a game item is given to the player as a benefit. If the rarity of the material character is a class of uncommon or lower, a virtual medal will be given to the player as a benefit.

In this way, it is possible to continue to provide the player with the benefits of character composition before and after the predetermined conditions are satisfied, thereby increasing the benefits of repeatedly performing character composition.

<Automatic synthesis>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, when a character is assigned to a player in a competitive game or a lottery game, the character is automatically synthesized without the player's operation by the player performing a setting operation in advance. be able to. As a result, when a character is assigned, it is determined whether or not that character can become a material character that can be synthesized with the base character, and character synthesis is automatically performed. Become. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the effort required for the player's operation input.

<<About the operation of game system 1>>
FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the game system 1 in this embodiment.

When the player performs an operation to start a lottery game, the player terminal 20 transmits a lottery game start request to the server device 10. When the server device 10 receives the lottery game start request transmitted from the player terminal 20, it executes a character assignment process (S101). Specifically, the character assignment processing unit 111 assigns a character selected from a plurality of characters to the player based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 .

Next, when a character is assigned to the player, the server device 10 determines whether character composition is set to automatic composition (S102). That is, the determination processing unit 114 refers to the player information shown in FIG. 6 and determines whether the automatic composition setting item is set to "ON".
Note that character composition may always be performed automatically without requiring the player to perform automatic composition settings in advance and omitting the determination process in step 102.

As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the automatic composition setting is set to "OFF" (S102: NO), the process proceeds to step 104, and screen data generation processing is executed. That is, the screen data generation processing unit 116 generates screen data corresponding to the game screen including the character assigned 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, where character composition processing is executed. Below, an example of the operation related to character composition processing will be specifically explained.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining character composition processing.
First, the server device 10 executes a process of determining whether or not it is possible to synthesize a material character with a base character. That is, the determination processing unit 114 determines whether the character (material character) given to the player is the same character as the base character specified by the player (S201). In the present embodiment, whether or not the character is the same as the base character is determined based on whether or not the character IDs match.

As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the character is not the same as the base character (S201: NO), the process proceeds to step 207, and update processing is executed. That is, the update processing unit 115 updates the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 by recording the character assigned to the player in the storage unit 12 as the player's owned character.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the character is the same as the base character (S201: YES), the process proceeds to step 202, where it is determined whether a predetermined condition regarding character composition is satisfied. That is, the determination processing unit 114 refers to the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 and determines whether the number of times the base character specified by the player has been synthesized has reached the maximum number of times (three times in this embodiment). Determine.

As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the number of times the base character has been synthesized has not reached the maximum number of times (S202: NO), the process proceeds to step 203, and parameter variation processing is executed. Specifically, the parameter variation processing unit 113A changes the upper limit value of the ability parameter set for the base character from the current stage to the next stage based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the owned character information shown in FIG. to rise to. At this time, the parameter variation processing unit 113A can also increase the current value of the ability parameter set for the base character. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 207, in which the update processing unit 115 does not make the character assigned to the player the character owned by the player, and adds new current upper limit values to the ability parameters set for the base character. By resetting , the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 is updated.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of times the base character has been synthesized has reached the maximum number (S202: YES), the process proceeds to step 204 without changing the ability parameters set for the base character, and the player It is determined whether or not a predetermined condition regarding the characteristics set for the character given to the character is satisfied. Specifically, the determination processing unit 114 determines whether the rarity set to the character assigned to the player is "rare" or higher by referring to the character information shown in FIG. 4.

As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the rarity set for the character given to the player is "rare" or higher (that is, "rare" or "super rare") (S204: YES), Proceeding to step 205, item provision processing is executed. That is, the benefit grant processing unit 113B grants the player an item selected from a plurality of items based on the item information shown in FIG. After that, the process advances to step 207, and update processing is executed. That is, the update processing unit 115 does not record the character given to the player as the player's owned character, and records the item given to the player as the player's owned item in the storage unit 12. , updates the owned item information shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the rarity set for the character given to the player is less than "rare" (that is, "uncommon" or "common") (S204: NO), step Proceeding to 206, virtual medal award processing is executed. That is, the benefit grant processing unit 113B grants a predetermined amount of virtual medals to the player. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 207, where the update processing unit 115 updates the player information shown in FIG. After that, the process advances to step 207, and update processing is executed. That is, the update processing unit 115 does not make the character given to the player the character owned by the player, and records the virtual medal given to the player in the storage unit 12. Update the player information shown.

Next, returning to FIG. 9, when the character composition process is thus completed, the server device 10 executes a screen data generation process (S104). That is, the screen data generation unit 116 generates screen data corresponding to a game screen related to a lottery game.

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

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 50 before character composition. This game screen 50 displays a game field area 51, a base character 52, and a material character placement area 53. In the game field area 51, a base character 52 before composition is displayed, and character information is displayed in association with this base character 52. Here, "Character A" is set as the base character 52, and "Attack power", "Defense power", and "Stamina" are displayed as ability parameters of "Character A". For each parameter, it is shown that the upper limit is "100" points, while the current value is "80" points. In the material character arrangement area 53, five characters 54 to 58 given to the player are displayed.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen 50 showing character composition. Here, since the predetermined conditions regarding character composition have not yet been satisfied and the character 54 is "character A", which is the same as the base character 52, it is automatically selected as the material character. The automatically selected character 54 is moved from the material character placement area 53, placed in the game field area 51, and then automatically combined with the base character 52.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 50 after character composition. In the game field area 51, "Character A" which is the base character 52 after composition is displayed, and character information is displayed in association with the base character 52. 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 value has increased to "200" points and the current value has increased to "110" points. That is, it is shown that not only the current value but also the upper limit value of the ability parameter set for the base character 52 has increased due to evolutionary synthesis.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 50 after the item is provided. Here, a predetermined condition regarding character composition is satisfied, and "item A", which is a game item 59 given to the player, is displayed in the game field area 51.

As described above, according to the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, when a material character is assigned to a player, before the predetermined conditions regarding character composition are satisfied, the base character is The first advantage given to the player is that each time a material character is synthesized, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character can be increased step by step. On the other hand, after the predetermined conditions regarding character composition are met, the upper limit values of the parameters set for the base character cannot be further increased each time that material character is composited with the base character, but the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character cannot be further increased. A second benefit is provided to the player, in which benefits are provided to the player based on the characteristics set for the character. In this way, the benefits of character composition can be continued to be given to the player before and after the predetermined conditions are met, making it possible to increase the benefits of repeatedly performing character composition. .

===Other embodiments===
The above embodiments are provided to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to be interpreted as limiting the present invention. The present invention may be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and the present invention also includes equivalents thereof. In particular, even the embodiments described below are included in the present invention.

<Character composition>
In the present embodiment described above, when determining whether or not it is possible to synthesize a material character with a base character, in step 201 of FIG. 10, if the base character and material character are the same character, the character Although the description has been given using an example in which synthesis is possible, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the base character and material character belong to the same group, character composition may be possible, or if they are different characters, character composition may be possible. . Further, for example, character synthesis may be performed when the player owns all of a plurality of types of characters that are associated with a base character in advance.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment described above, if the base character and material character are repeatedly composited before the predetermined conditions regarding character composition are satisfied, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character will increase in stages. Although the description has been given by way of example, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the current value of the parameter set for the base character may be increased in stages up to the upper limit. Further, for example, by changing the character ID corresponding to the base character before synthesis to a different character ID, the base character may be changed to different types of base characters one after another in stages.

In addition, in the present embodiment described above, when the base character and material character are repeatedly synthesized after the predetermined conditions regarding character composition are satisfied, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character is not further increased, but the material character Although the present invention has been described using an example in which a privilege is given to a player based on the characteristics set in the above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after the predetermined condition is met, each time a base character and a material character are combined, the upper limit of the ability parameters set for the base character will not be increased further, but as a bonus, the upper limit of the ability parameters set for the base character will be increased. The value may be increased stepwise.

In addition, in the above embodiment, when one material character is given to the player, the case where that one material character is synthesized with the base character has been explained as an example, but in this embodiment, The invention is not limited to this. For example, when two or more material characters are given to a player at a time through a special lottery game, etc., it can also be applied to the case where each material character is successively combined with the base character. can.

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

<Automatic synthesis>
The automatic composition in this embodiment described above can also be applied when a special lottery game is held and a plurality of characters are given to players at once. At this time, for example, one character among the multiple characters given to the player is used as a base character for automatic synthesis, and the remaining characters among the multiple characters are used as material characters for automatic synthesis. You may do so.

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

<Specification of base character>
In the present embodiment described above, a character specified 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 without depending on the player's specification operation. The created character may be used as a base character for composition.
