Abstract

[PROBLEMS] To provide a program or the like that can give an unexpectedness to a game, increase funness and interest, and increase the player's interest in the game and continuation motivation.
A program according to the present invention sets “individuality” and “intimacy” with a player in a first game medium, and sets a “degree” of preference in a second game medium. Then, the second game medium selected by the player is combined with the first game medium, and an operation for changing the “intimacy” is performed based on the “degree”. At this time, when a plurality of second game media are selected, the intimacy is changed according to the combination of the second game media to a degree different from that expected from the degree of each of the second game media.

Description

  The present invention relates to a program and a game system control method.

  In recent years, games provided from a server device to a mobile terminal operated by a player via a communication network have gained popularity, and many game titles have been released using a plurality of platforms. There are various types and categories of these games, and so-called social games that allow a plurality of players to participate in the same game are particularly popular.

  There are various types of games distributed as social games, and examples include a card battle type role-playing game (RPG) and an action game. In these games, a player operates a character (player character) displayed on a virtual card and collects various game items, and in a game scene set as a so-called quest or the like, a battle battle, a mini game, or the like Through the experience of various events, the player character can be grown.

  Moreover, by appropriately combining cards associated with characters and game items, the ability (strength, skill, physical strength, intelligence, attack power, defense power, etc.) and the level of the character corresponding to the card can be increased ( There are also known games that can be called “enhanced synthesis”, or that can change or enhance the character itself into an irregular shape (sometimes called “evolutionary synthesis”). For example, in Patent Literature 1, information data of a plurality of character guards distributed to a mobile phone as a game device is used to obtain a new character card by combining the character cards, There is described a game method distribution system that can be trained or that can increase the strength of a character by combining a character card with a weapon card.

  Such enhanced synthesis and evolutionary synthesis of character cards can be said to be one of the effective techniques for enhancing the fun and fun of the game. However, in the conventional game, for example, the degree of the effect such as enhancement synthesis or the improvement of ability obtained by evolutionary synthesis (increase / decrease in various ability parameters, etc.) is completely unknown or unclear due to rough image display. There was a case. Alternatively, the degree of the effect obtained may be clearly indicated on an item to be combined with the character card, or may be presented to the player when combining the two.

  As a result, it is common for players not to know the effects of enhanced synthesis or evolutionary synthesis at all, or conversely, the results of enhanced synthesis or evolutionary synthesis are known in advance prior to execution. It was. Therefore, in these respects, it is one of the factors that cause the player to lose interest in the game because the game is not surprising.

  Further, although the ability of the character card is enhanced or the character card is sophisticated by the strengthening synthesis or evolutionary synthesis of the character card, the character card for the player has a player character as a means for proceeding with the game. It was merely a representation and / or a value that is equivalent to an item to be collected. In this regard, it can be said that no attempt has been made to add more value to the character card in the conventional game.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and can add unexpected surprises to the game, further increase the fun and interest of the game, and the player's interest and continuity in the game. To provide a program and a game system control method capable of increasing motivation and giving a new value to a game medium such as a character card owned by the player in relation to the player. With the goal.

  In order to solve the above problems, a program according to the present invention accesses an information storage unit that stores information related to a game in which a first game medium and a second game medium different from the first game medium are used. This is to cause a possible computer to execute the following steps. That is, in the program, the step of setting “individuality” in the first game medium and the “intimacy” between the player and the first game medium as one of the characteristic parameters of the first game medium (for example, As one of the characteristic parameters of the second game medium, and the personality of the first game medium (related to the individuality). Based on the step of setting the “degree”, the step of causing the player to select the second game medium, the “individuality” of the first game medium, and the “degree” of the selected second game medium And changing the “intimacy” between the first game content and the first game content.

  Here, the “player” is a user who plays a game executed by the program according to the present invention, and is usually an operator of a terminal device such as a portable device or a game device having a screen on which an image of the game is displayed. It is.

  The “game medium” is a character or article handled in a virtual space (virtual game space) on a game, and a card or item representing or associated with them, and is also called a “object”. It is a concept that includes all things. Note that the “game media” may be those that directly or indirectly recall characters and articles, and whether they are displayed as still images or videos, It may be a combination, or it may be represented by simple text information, not an image. In some cases, it may be recognized only by hearing, such as voice information, even if it cannot be recognized visually. Also good. Furthermore, “first game medium” and “second game medium” are both types of “game medium” described above, and the prefixes (“first” and “second”) are different from each other. There is no particular limitation as long as they are different from each other and can be synthesized by combining them. As will be described later, a typical example of the “first game medium” is a virtual card (character card) representing a character, and an example of an item representing an article is typically a “second game medium”. Can be mentioned.

  Furthermore, “individuality” set for the first game medium includes, for example, preferences for food, goods, hobbies, etc. (like / dislike, pros / cons). The “degree” of the “individuality” of the first game medium as one of the characteristic parameters of the second game medium indicates the degree, level, level, strength, condition, adjustment, etc. of the “individuality”. . For example, if the first game medium is a character of a person or an animal, the “individuality” is a food preference, and the second game medium is a food or other luxury item, the preference for the food or the like As the “degree”, the degree or state of the likes or dislikes of food such as love, likes, dislikes, hates, likes or dislikes.

  In a game executed by such a program, the player participates in the game through a character that acts, acts, thinks, and the like in the virtual game space and the first game medium associated therewith in place of himself / herself. obtain. Further, by combining the first game medium owned by the player and the second game medium selected by the player, the “degree” of the second game medium related to the “individuality” of the first game medium. Based on this, the “intimacy” between the player and the first game medium changes.

  That is, in this way, the first game medium owned by the player is provided with “individuality” and combined with the second game medium having a “degree” related to the “individuality”, thereby the first game medium The “intimacy” of the player can be changed. As a result, the “intimacy” of each first game medium owned by the player is different, and there may be a difference in the degree of association between each of the first game contents and the player. As a result, the player's attachment to the first game medium can be generated (emerged), and this can increase variations in advancing the game.

  In addition, the “degree” set for the second game medium is kept secret to the player, and the player knows the result of the change in the “intimacy” and thereby the “degree” set for the second game medium. Can be inferred. Specifically, in the case where the first game medium described above is a character card, the “individuality” is a food preference, and the second game medium is food, the player likes the character card for each food. You can detect dislikes. In this way, by collecting and learning the “degree” information about the preference of the second game medium, it is possible to proceed with the subsequent game development advantageously or to further increase the variation of the game. Also in this respect, it is possible to realize unexpectedness and interest that were not found in conventional games.

  Further, it is preferable that the computer execute a step of changing the display form of any one of the first game medium, the second game medium, and the effect in the game according to the second game medium. . For example, when the player has a plurality of second game media, and a plurality of the second game media are selected and combined in combination with the first game media, when the plurality of second game media are displayed, It is preferable to display in a different form so as to be visible to the player, or to change the display form of the first game medium and / or game effects related to them as well as the second game medium. By doing so, the visibility, discrimination and selection of each of the first game media and / or the second game media are improved, and a balance with the “individuality” set for the first game media. There is an advantage that the player can easily think of the “degree” set in the second game medium.

  Further, as described above, the “degree” set for the second game medium is kept secret from the player, but based on the “individuality” of the first game medium and the “degree” of the second game medium. The degree of “intimacy” changed (result of change) may be displayed in a different form for each second game medium. This makes it easier for the player to confirm or judge the result of the change in “intimacy”, and to enhance the visual effect of the game screen.

  Further, based on the change result of “intimacy”, for example, if a specific effect is expressed on the first game medium, the combination of the first game medium and the second game medium The above-described enhanced synthesis and evolutionary synthesis can be performed. In this case, since the “degree” set in the second game medium is reflected in the effect expressed by the reinforcement synthesis or the evolutionary synthesis, the player can also apply the second game medium to the second game medium. The set “degree” can be indirectly estimated to some extent.

  Therefore, it is preferable to further cause the computer to execute a step of producing a specific effect based on the “intimacy” between the player and the first game medium by controlling the program. At this time, the “specific effect” is not particularly limited, and for example, the first game medium can use a predetermined skill (skill) and / or the first game medium ability (strength) Skill, physical strength, intelligence, attack power, defense power, etc.). In other words, as the “specific effect”, for example, the effect obtained by the above-described reinforcement synthesis or evolutionary synthesis for the first game medium, that is, the improvement of the ability or its level, the change of the first game medium itself, For example, the form or function is advanced.

  In that case, more specifically, in a state where the “intimacy” is equal to or greater than a preset maximum value, a specific second game medium among the second game contents (having the “intimacy”) When combined with the first game medium, the specific effect may be expressed. That is, you may set the threshold value of the "intimacy" which can express a specific effect. Furthermore, it is preferable that the computer recognize the specific second game medium by the player. The method of recognition at that time is also not particularly limited. For example, the game screen is displayed so that the player can know that the second game medium is specific only when the “intimacy” exceeds a threshold value. Or when the first game medium and the specific second game medium are combined (during synthesis), an effect different from the combination with the other second game medium is performed. Alternatively, the display form of the specific second game medium itself may be different from the display of the other second game medium.

  In addition, by controlling the program, a specific second game medium serving as an opportunity (trigger) for expressing a specific effect is set out of the second game media, and the specific second game medium serving as the trigger is set. The step of setting the appearance probability of the specific effect in the game medium and the step of causing the specific effect to be expressed based on the familiarity and the appearance probability may be executed by the computer. The specific second game medium in combination with the first game medium may be singular or plural, and in the case of a plurality, the specific effect expressed for each specific second game medium, and / or The appearance probabilities may be the same or different.

  In this way, based not only on the appearance probability of the specific effect set on the second game medium, but also on the probability of considering the “intimacy” between the player and the first game medium described so far, for example, A lottery or the like corresponding to the probability is performed, and as a result, whether or not a specific effect is manifested can be determined.

  Still further, the “intimacy” between the player and the first game medium or the “degree” of the second game medium is changed according to the combination of the plurality of second game media under the control of the program. Even so, it is preferable.

  In such a configuration, the “intimacy” between the player and the first game media does not always change according to the “degree” of the single unit of the second game media, but instead of the plurality of second game media. Depending on the combination, the “intimacy” can be changed to a degree different from that expected from the degree of each of the second game media. For example, when the first game medium described above is a character card, the “individuality” is a preference for food, and the second game medium is food, so-called “mealing” (that is, a plurality of second games) There is a mode in which the “intimacy” is increased or decreased depending on the quality of the combination of the game media. In this case, even if each food is a favorite food for the character card, if the setting is not good, the “intimacy” will be reduced when those foods are given at one time. When the setting is good, the “intimacy” can be increased more than when each food is given alone. Thus, it is possible to realize a game development that the player cannot expect further.

  Note that, even when the “degree” of the second game medium itself is changed according to the combination of the plurality of second game contents, the second game medium and the first game medium in which the “degree” has changed As a result, the “intimacy” between the player and the first game media can indirectly change as a result of the combination with the game media, so that an effect equivalent to that obtained by directly changing the “intimacy” can be achieved. .

  Further, for example, in a state where the “intimacy” between the player and the first game medium exceeds a predetermined value, the “degree” of the second game medium selected by the player increases the “intimacy”. In some cases, conversely, the “intimacy” may be decreased. For example, in the case where the first game medium described above is a character card, the personality is food preference, and the second game medium is food, as a result of giving many favorite foods to the character card, A state in which the “intimacy” between the player and the character card is sufficiently increased (an example in which the “intimacy” exceeds a predetermined value) can be exemplified. At this time, even if the favorite food is further given to the character card, the “intimacy” with the player may be reduced if the character card is already bitten.

  Furthermore, the game is one in which a plurality of players can participate, and the first card that the other player of the plurality of players owns the second card medium selected by one of the plurality of players in the computer. In combination with the other game media, based on the “individuality” of the first game media owned by the other player and the “degree” of the second game media selected by one player, The step of changing the “intimacy” with the game media can be executed.

  Such a configuration is particularly effective when the game is the above-described social game. For example, the first game medium described above is a character card, the personality is a preference for food, and the second game medium is food. In this case, there is a mode in which food selected by one player is given to a character card of another player (such as a friend of one player). Even in this case, the “intimacy” between the other player and the character card can be increased or decreased according to the degree of preference set for the given food. As a result, communication between both players, such as exchange and cooperation between one player and another player, can be activated.

  Further, in this case, the “degree” set for the second game medium is set to the “individuality” of the first game medium owned by one player and the first game medium owned by another player. It may be different. That is, for example, a setting in which the preference of a character card as a substitute for a player varies depending on the difference in the preference of the player can be adopted.

  The game system control method according to the present invention is different from the above-described method for effectively controlling the game system realized by the program of the present invention, that is, the first game medium and the first game medium. A control method for a game system comprising: an information storage unit for storing information related to a game in which the second game medium is used; and a server device having a control unit for accessing the information and executing a calculation relating to the game. is there.

  In this method, the control unit sets “individuality” to the first game medium and sets “intimacy” between the player and the first game medium as one of the characteristic parameters of the first game medium. Is set as one of the characteristic parameters of the second game medium, and the “degree” of the personality of the first game medium is set to the player. A control process for changing the “intimacy” between the player and the first game medium based on the “individuality” of the first game medium and the “degree” of the selected second game medium. Done.

  A game system according to the present invention is a system including a terminal device operated by the above-described player and a server device connected to the terminal device via a communication line and providing a game. You may have an information storage part which memorizes information relevant to, and a control part which accesses information and performs operation about a game. In such a system configuration, the control unit sets “individuality” for the first game medium, and sets “intimacy” between the player and the first game medium as one of the characteristic parameters of the first game medium. Then, as one of the characteristic parameters of the second game medium, the “degree” of the “individuality” of the first game medium that is concealed from the player is set, and the second game medium is set to the player. Based on the “individuality” of the first game medium and the “degree” of the selected second game medium, a control process is performed to change the “intimacy” between the player and the first game medium. Is.

  According to the present invention, by providing “individuality” in the first game medium owned by the player, setting “degree” related to “individuality” in the second game medium, and combining both game media Since the “intimacy” of the player with respect to the first game medium can be changed, the player's attachment to the first game medium can be raised, and variations in the game development can be increased. Unexpectedness can be imparted. As a result, the fun and fun of the game can be greatly increased as compared with the conventional game, and the player's interest and continuation motivation can be increased. In addition, by changing the “intimacy” of the player with respect to the first game medium, a new added value can be added to the relationship between the player and the first game medium. Alternatively, it is possible to bring (introduce) the skill to the game.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. The following embodiments are examples for explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention only to the embodiments. The present invention can be variously modified without departing from the gist thereof. Furthermore, those skilled in the art can employ embodiments in which the elements described below are replaced with equivalent ones, and such embodiments are also included in the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, positional relationships such as up, down, left, and right shown as needed are based on the display shown unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, various dimensional ratios in the drawings are not limited to the illustrated ratios. In the following, for ease of understanding, an embodiment in which the present invention is implemented using a game information processing apparatus will be described as an example. However, as described above, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart showing a part of a processing procedure in a game executed by a preferred embodiment of a program according to the present invention. This game is an example of a card game type RPG developed with a character (player character) displayed on a virtual character card (first game medium) owned by the player as the main character.

  In this game, a plurality of events and scenes (for example, location, dungeon, quest, etc.) as game scenes, and various conditions for the player character to get rewards in those events are set. For example, the player character can obtain various rewards by winning a battle battle or a mini game with an enemy character or an opponent character, or by collecting points by participating in a gathering event or the like. Note that events and scenes such as locations, dungeons, and quests may or may not be hierarchized with each other or as individual structures.

  Here, the “reward” means that the player character owns it and works favorably for the player character in advancement of the game, the sense of value is enhanced, and further, the value such as a rarity level is added to itself. The type and form are not particularly limited. Specific examples of such rewards include items that can be used in various events, items that allow the player character to grow, strengthen, recover, etc., items that the player character can wear or equip. These items are not limited to tangible objects in the virtual space of the game, and include numerical values of parameters such as points, chips, coins, and the like. Moreover, those items may be set so that they can be purchased with other items, points, or the like.

  Furthermore, this game is configured so that a predetermined item (second game medium) can be combined and combined with the character card. More specifically, FIG. 1 shows an example of a processing procedure when synthesizing such a character card and an item. Various processes (image and screen display, determination, calculation, etc.) in the following procedure are executed based on control commands from the arithmetic processing unit 101 of the server apparatus 100 described later with reference to FIGS. . That is, the arithmetic processing unit 101 functions as a “computer” in the program according to the present invention and a “control unit” in the game system control method according to the present invention. Similarly, various storage media on which information related to the game is recorded, in addition to the ROM 102 and RAM 103 and the external memory 106 described later, correspond to an “information storage unit” in the program and the game system control method according to the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the processing is started at step SP0, and first, various settings are made (step SP10). The various settings include “individuality” setting (step SP11) such as the above-mentioned preferences for food, goods, hobbies, etc. for each of the plurality of character cards (step SP11), and the characteristics of each character card Parameter setting (step SP12) and item characteristic parameter setting (step SP13) are included.

  In step SP12, as one of the characteristic parameters of the character card, the “intimacy” between the player and the character card described above is set as a numerical parameter (eg, a minimum value of 0% to a maximum value of 100%). In step SP13, the “degree” of “individuality” associated with the character card is set as one of the item characteristic parameters. More specifically, as exemplified above, when the item is various foods, the “degree” of preference for those foods is set such as “love”, “like”, “dislike”, “dislike”, and “not like”.

Here, FIGS. 2A to 2D are schematic diagrams illustrating examples of food items, and examples of the state in which these items are displayed on the screen 2a of the terminal device 2 operated by the player. Show. In these examples, item A1 is an apple (Apple), item A2 is a melon (Melon), item A3 is a banana (Banana), and item A4 is a peach (Peach). In addition, in these items A1 to A4, as the “degree” of the preference (“individuality”) of the character card C1 among the plurality of character cards owned by the player, the apple “likes” and the melon “ “I love you”, “I hate” bananas, and “I hate” peaches. Details of the states shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D will be described later.

  Returning to FIG. 1, after completing various settings (step SP10), the player can select a desired item (here, in order to strengthen or evolve the player character at an appropriate timing). 2 can be synthesized (enhanced synthesis or evolutionary synthesis). Therefore, the player selects items A1 to A4 to be combined with the character card C1 (step SP20).

  The items A1 to A4 selected by the player are sequentially combined with the character card C1 (step SP30). At this time, first, the above-described “degree” set in the items A1 to A4 is determined (step SP31), and based on the “degree”, the initial value of the “intimacy” of the character card C1 is changed. The result is displayed on the screen 2a of the terminal device 2 (step SP32). The “degree” related to the preference of the character card C1 set in the items A1 to A4 and the change rate (ratio; increase / decrease rate with respect to the initial value) of the “intimacy” of the character card are represented by, for example, Table 1 below. Are set as shown in the information setting table (master table) (this setting can also be implemented as part of various settings in step SP10). This information setting table is stored in the information storage unit such as the ROM 102, the RAM 103, the external memory 106, etc. so that it can be read (written) and written (written) by the arithmetic processing unit 101 of the server device 100 (others). The same applies to the information setting table).

  2A to 2D are also examples of effects when the character card C1 and the items A1 to A4 are combined, and show a state after the “intimacy” of the character card C1 has changed. The “effect” when combining the character card and the item indicates an overall effect that can be recognized by the player with respect to the combination of both, and an effect moving image or still image displayed on the terminal device 2, from the terminal device 2. Includes sound, music, sound effects, etc. For example, in FIG. 2A, an illustration or a photographic image of an apple indicating the selected item A1 is displayed in the central portion of the screen 2a of the terminal device 2, and the “intimacy” is displayed in the upper area of the drawing. A gauge 31 that visually indicates the calculation result is displayed. As shown in Table 1, the gauge 31 indicates a state in which the “intimacy” is + 50% with respect to the initial value as a ratio of the hatched portion in the figure to the entire width of the gauge. Further, FIG. 2A shows a heart shape as an effect that makes it easier to visually recognize that the “degree” of the item A1 with respect to the preference of the character card C1 is “like” and the closeness has increased by 50%. The graphic 41 is also displayed. As described above, the gauge 31 and the graphic 41 are both “effects” (particularly screen effects) when the character card and the item are combined.

  Similarly, in FIG. 2B, in FIG. 2B, a melon illustration or photo image indicating the item A2 and the gauge 32 indicating the calculation result of “intimacy” (“intimacy” is + 95% of the initial value). Status) and another heart-shaped figure 42 (including a larger heart shape) indicating that the “degree” of the item A2 is “loved” and the “intimacy” has increased by 95%. On the other hand, FIG. 2C shows a banana illustration or photographic image indicating the item A3 and a gauge 33 indicating the calculation result of “intimacy” (“intimacy” is −40% of the initial value). ), A graphic 43 with an X mark indicating that the “degree” of the item A3 is “dislike” and the “intimacy” has decreased by 40%. Further, FIG. 2D shows a peach illustration or photo image indicating the item A4 and a gauge 34 indicating the calculation result of “intimacy” (“intimacy” is −90% of the initial value). ), And another “x” figure 44 (including a larger “x”) indicating that the “degree” of the item A4 is “dislike” and the “intimacy” has decreased by 90%.

  Thus, according to the items A1 to A4, the respective items A1 to A4 can be improved in visibility, discrimination and selection by being displayed in different forms. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, it becomes easy to conceive or recall the types of fruits of the items A1 to A4, and it can contribute to enhancing the fun of the game by adding more realism to the game.

  By the way, the player is set so that the “degree” itself shown in Table 1 set for these items A1 to A4 cannot be directly known. That is, information on how much the player character of the character card C1 likes or dislikes the items A1 to A4 is kept secret from the player. Accordingly, the “degree” set for the items A1 to A4 is not until the player visually recognizes the game screens shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D which are effect images resulting from the combination of the character card C1 and the items A1 to A4. Can be inferred. That is, based on the illustrations and the like representing the items A1 to A4, the gauges 31 to 34 representing the calculation result of the “intimacy”, and the graphics 41 to 44 representing them, the character card C1 identifies the items A1 to A4. You can sense information about whether you like it or not, or whether you hate it or hate it. As described above, the calculation result of “intimacy” is displayed in a different form for each of the items A1 to A4, so that the player can easily confirm or determine the result of the change in “intimacy”. The visual effect of the game can be further improved, and the fun of the game can be further improved.

  2A to 2D, as described above, the state when the items A1 to A4 are individually combined with the character card C1 to combine them, that is, the “intimacy” is from the initial value. Although the changed result is shown, when all of these items A1 to A4 are sequentially combined with the character card C1 to synthesize all, the change in “intimacy” can be the cumulative value of the change rate. In other words, in the example shown in Table 1, when the character card C1 and the items A1 to A4 are combined at a time, the calculation result of “intimacy” accumulates the rate of change of “intimacy” (+ 50% + 95%). (−40% −90% = + 15%), and based on the result, an operation such as + 15% can be performed on the initial value.

  Returning to FIG. 1 again, when the combination of the character card C1 and the items A1 to A4 and the calculation of the “intimacy” of the character card C1 and the result display are completed, the “intimacy” after the calculation is the maximum value Smax. It is determined whether or not this is the case (step SP40). The setting of the maximum value Smax can also be performed at step SP10 for various settings. If the “intimacy” is equal to or greater than the maximum value Smax (Yes in step SP40), the character card C1 is caused to exhibit a predetermined effect (step SP50).

  For example, in the case where the character card C1 is positioned as enhanced synthesis, a special skill preset as a potential in the character card C1 can be activated (so-called skill release). Alternatively, a special skill as a newly added ability may be activated, although it is not potentially set in the character card C1. Further, in the case of positioning as the evolutionary synthesis of the character card C1, the numerical value of the attack power and defense power possessed by the player character of the character card C1 is increased much more than the degree given by the daily game execution. The form can be exemplified.

  More specifically, when the initial value (default) of “intimacy” is + 20% and the Smax is set to + 100%, the above-described character card C1 and items A1 to A4 are combined at a time Since the calculation result of “intimacy” of (the accumulated value is + 15% with respect to the initial value is + 20% (initial value) +15% = + 35%) is less than the Smax, No in step SP40 It is determined. That is, in this case, the skill release and evolution of the character card C1 cannot be performed. However, if only the items A1 and A2 are combined with the character card C1 in step SP30, the calculation result of “intimacy” is + 20% (initial value) + 50% (item A1) + 95% (item A2) = + 1165% Then (see Table 1), it is determined Yes in step SP40, and the skill release and evolution of the character card C1 can be performed.

  Further, even when all items A1 to A4 are combined, if the processing is performed so that the “intimacy” is calculated for each item and the determination of step SP40 is appropriately performed, depending on the combination order, It is assumed that the calculated value of “intimacy” exceeds Smax during the process. For example, when combining with the character card C1 in the order of item A3, item A1, and item A2, the calculation result of “intimacy” in the combining stage of item A2 is + 20% (initial value) −40% (item A3) + 50% (item A1) + 95% (item A2) = + 105% (see Table 1), which exceeds Smax (+ 100%) at that stage. At that time, the composition process is stopped (for example, without further composition of item A4), and if step SP40 is performed, the determination there is Yes, and the skill release and evolution of character card C1 can be performed. .

  On the other hand, when the “intimacy” after the composition calculation of the character card C1 is less than the maximum value Smax (No in step SP40), the character card C1 cannot exhibit a predetermined effect. Then, after passing through steps SP40 and SP50, the player may end the compositing process or the game itself in step SP1 or may move to another event other than the compositing.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart showing a part of a processing procedure in a game executed by another preferred embodiment of the program according to the present invention. The procedure of the second embodiment is shown in FIG. 1 except that step SP14 is added in various setting steps SP10, and steps SP60, SP70, and SP80 are executed instead of steps SP40 and SP50. The configuration is the same as the procedure in the first embodiment.

  That is, in the various setting steps SP10 of the present embodiment, in addition to the above-described “individuality” setting step SP11, “intimacy” setting step SP12, and “degree” setting step SP13, the items A1, A2, In A3, effects E1, E2, E3 (specific effects) are set (step SP14). The contents of these effects E1, E2, and E3 are not particularly limited. For example, as the effect E1 of the item A1, increasing the defense power of the character card C1 by +3000, and as the effect E2 of the item A2, the attack power of the character card C1. Is increased by 1.5 times, and the effect E3 of the item A3 includes giving 100 chips that can be used in the game to the player. Alternatively, an effect may be set such that a special skill can be activated for the player character of the character card C1.

  Then, in the same manner as in the first embodiment, the items A1 to A4 are selected as compositing items (step SP20), and in the compositing of them with the character card C1 (step SP30), the “degree” set for them is set. Based on the calculation of “intimacy”, steps SP31 and SP32 are performed. Next, unlike the first embodiment, a lottery is performed as to whether or not the effects E1, E2, and E3 set for the items A1, A2, and A3 are to be developed (step SP60).

  Here, not only the effects E1, E2, and E3 are set for the items A1, A2, and A3, but also the appearance probability specific to each of these effects is set (this setting is also various setting steps SP10). Can be implemented). An example of the information setting table is shown in Table 2 below.

  The lottery in step SP60 is not only the appearance probabilities set for the effects E1, E2, and E3 by the items A1, A2, and A3, but also the “intimacy” calculated by combining the character card C1 and the items A1 to A4. Is also performed based on. For example, the winning probability of each of the effects E1, E2, and E3 is calculated by appearance probability × intimacy × adjustment factor R. As a more specific example, in the example (+ 35%) of the calculation result of “intimacy” described above, the winning probability in the lottery of each effect E1, E2, E3 when the adjustment factor R = 5.0 is Shown in Table 3 below.

  Using the winning probabilities calculated based on the “appearance probabilities” and the “intimacy” in this manner, lottery is performed for the effects E1, E2, and E3 of the items A1, A2, and A3. It is determined whether or not at least one of E3 has been won (step SP70). When there is a winning effect among the effects E1, E2, and E3 (Yes in step SP70), the effect is manifested on the character card C1. On the other hand, if none of the effects E1, E2, E3 is won (No in step SP70), the player may end the synthesis process or the game itself in step SP1, or other than synthesis. You may move to other events.

For example, a touch panel, a touch pad, a keyboard, and the like are available. Can be mentioned. When the operation unit 143 is operated by the player, the operation unit 143 generates a signal corresponding to the operation and supplies the signal to the terminal processing unit 145. The terminal device 2 requests an operation necessary for the progress of the game by transmitting an operation signal from the player to the server device 100 via the terminal communication unit 141 described above.

  The display unit 144 displays a video corresponding to the video data supplied from the terminal processing unit 145, an image corresponding to the image data, and the like, and constitutes a main part of the screen 2a of the terminal device 2 described later. . The display unit 144 may be any device that can display text, video, images, and the like, and examples thereof include a liquid crystal display and an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display.

  Furthermore, the terminal processing unit 145 includes one or a plurality of processors such as a CPU and an MPU and peripheral circuits thereof, and performs overall control of the overall operation of the terminal device 2. The thing of the structure equivalent to the process part 101 can be illustrated. In addition, the terminal processing unit 145 performs various processes of the terminal device 2 in accordance with programs (operating system program, driver program, application program, etc.) stored in the terminal storage unit 142, operations of the operation unit 143, and the like. The operations of the terminal communication unit 141, the display unit 144, and the like are controlled so as to be executed in an appropriate procedure according to the above.

  The terminal processing unit 145 includes at least a browsing execution unit 146 as a functional module that is realized by the various programs described above or is implemented in the terminal device 2 as firmware. The browsing execution unit 146 acquires and displays display data related to the progress of the game described above.

Received from the device 100 via the terminal communication unit 141. Further, the browsing execution unit 146 creates drawing data based on the received display data. That is, the browsing execution unit 146 analyzes the received display data to identify the control data and the content data, and reconstructs the drawing data by laying out the same specified content data in accordance with the specified control data. The data is output to the display unit 144.

  Here, the outline of the operation sequence in the game system 1 is, for example, as follows. That is, when the player instructs the terminal device 2 to execute the program via the operation unit 143 of the terminal device 2, the terminal device 2 starts processing based on the program, and the terminal processing unit realized by the program 145 transmits, for example, an acquisition screen acquisition request of the game to the server device 100 via the terminal communication unit 141 of the terminal device 2. The server apparatus 100 that has received the acquisition request creates display data for displaying the introduction screen by the control unit 134 of the server processing unit 133. Then, the control unit 134 transmits the created display data to the terminal device 2 via the server communication unit 131. The terminal processing unit 145 that has received the display data via the terminal communication unit 141 creates drawing data based on the display data, and outputs the drawing data to the display unit 144 of the terminal device 2 to display the game introduction screen. indicate.

  In the game introduction screen, when the player gives an instruction to participate in the game via the operation unit 143 of the terminal device 2, the terminal processing unit 145 displays another game screen for that purpose (for example, the character card C1 and the item A request for acquiring a screen including a menu of enhanced synthesis or evolution synthesis is transmitted to the server apparatus 100 via the terminal communication unit 141. The server apparatus 100 that has received the acquisition request creates display data for displaying the game screen by the control unit 134 of the server processing unit 133. Then, the control unit 134 transmits the created display data to the terminal device 2 via the server communication unit 131. The terminal processing unit 145 that has received the display data via the terminal communication unit 141 creates drawing data based on the display data, and outputs the drawing data to the display unit 144 of the terminal device 2 to display the game screen. To do.

  In this game screen, when the player selects to perform the reinforcement synthesis or the evolution synthesis of the character card C1, the terminal processing unit 145, for example, items to be combined with the character card C1 (in the above example, items A1 to A4). An acquisition request for the screen to be selected is transmitted to the server apparatus 100 via the terminal communication unit 141. The server device 100 that has received the acquisition request creates display data for that purpose by the control unit 134 of the server processing unit 133, and the terminal processing unit 145 of the terminal device 2 that has received the display data, for example, an item owned by the player Are displayed on the display unit 144 in a state where the player can select them. Then, the processing of each step described above is executed, and thereby, the reinforcement synthesis or the evolution synthesis of the character card C1 is performed.

  According to the game program, the game system 1 and the control method thereof configured as described above, the preference (like / dislike, good point) of food, goods, hobbies, etc. on the character card (first game medium) owned by the player. -Characteristic parameters of the items A1 to A4 (second game media) that are provided with "individuality" such as a poor player and the like and combined with the character card to enable the player character to be strengthened and evolved. Set "degree" related to "individuality". Then, by combining and combining them, the “intimacy” with the player separately set as the characteristic parameter of the character card can be changed according to the “degree” which is the characteristic of the items A1 to A4.

  Then, the “intimacy” of a specific character card among the character cards owned by the player increases while the “intimacy” of other character cards relatively decreases. There is a difference in “density”, and attachment to a character card with a higher “intimacy” increases, or there is a desire to further increase the “intimacy” of a favorite character card. As a result, there is a difference in the degree of association between each character card and the player, and variations in game development for increasing the usage of the character card and “intimacy” can be increased. In this way, a new added value can be given to the character card owned by the player in relation to the player. As a result, unexpected surprises can be imparted to the game, and the fun and fun of the game can be significantly improved as compared with the prior art. Further, it becomes possible to increase the interest and continuation motivation of the player in the game.

  Further, the “degree” shown in Table 1 set for the items A1 to A4 is concealed from the player, and the player cannot directly know the “degree” itself, but the player cannot use the character card. The “degree” of the items A1 to A4 can be inferred by checking the game screen shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D that informs the result of combining C1 and the items A1 to A4. Therefore, by collecting information on the “degrees” of the items A1 to A4, learning them, and utilizing them for the next play opportunity, the game can be advantageously advanced and variations in game development can be further increased. Can be. In this respect as well, unexpectedness and interest that are not found in conventional games can be realized, and the player's interest and continuation in the game can be further improved.

  Further, as described above, among the items A1 to A4, the effect E1 (defense power up), the effect E2 (attack power up), and the effect E3 (chip grant) as specific effects are applied to the character card C1. “Intimacy” in addition to “appearance probability” of effects E1, E2, and E3 by setting items A1 to A3 as triggers for expression and setting the effects E1, E2, and E3 Based on the calculation result of Therefore, in order to express a specific effect, the influence of the “degree” set for the items A1 to A4 that change the “intimacy” can be taken into account, so that the skill and difficulty of the game can be increased, It is possible to further improve the fun and fun of this.

  In addition, as above-mentioned, this invention is not limited to said embodiment and the modification already described, A various deformation | transformation is possible in the limit which does not change the summary. For example, the configuration of the server device 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 is applicable to the client computer 21 and the mobile terminal 22 that are the terminal devices 2 although there are differences in processing capability and the like. In other words, the client computer 21 and the mobile terminal 22 can be used as the server device 100. That is, any computer device connected via the network 200 can function as a server device.

  Further, the server device 100 is configured to perform the same function as a memory device loaded in the ROM 102, the RAM 103, the external memory 106, the slot drive 108 using a mass storage device such as a hard disk or an SSD. These storage devices may or may not be redundant by RAID or the like, and may not be connected to the arithmetic processing unit 101 via the transmission path 120. As part of the networking, it may be connected to another external device or the like via the network 200.

  Furthermore, the network interface in the server device 100 and the terminal device 2 may be either a wireless LAN device or a wired LAN device, and may be either installed inside or of an external device type such as a LAN card. . Furthermore, as the terminal device 2, a game machine that can be connected to the network 200 may be used. In addition, for example, a communication karaoke device may be used.

  Also, the game settings are not limited to the specific examples in the above-described embodiment, and examples include the following further modifications.

[Third Embodiment]
In this embodiment, the player owns a plurality of character cards, and if the food item is excessively given to a specific character card among them, the “intimacy” of the specific character card is lowered. It is an example of an aspect. In this case, the interpretation of the world view of the game is that other character cards other than the specific character card are "enthusiasm", "rival mind", "attachment" to a specific character card that is fed a lot of food. It is possible to assume a setting in which “intimacy” between the specific character card and the player is lowered due to “embracing” or the like. Also, in this case, if the amount of food items that are determined to be given too much to a specific character card is specified, and if the amount exceeds the specified amount, the “intimacy” is reduced uniformly each time, the game Since the balance may be lost, even when the specified amount is reached, the “intimacy” may be lowered with a certain probability by performing lottery or the like.

[Fourth Embodiment]
In the present embodiment, in step SP50 shown in FIG. 1, when “intimacy” is equal to or greater than Smax, step SP50 is not immediately executed, and an item and character card C1 for causing a specific effect are further displayed. By synthesizing, it has a procedure to express its specific effect. As an item for expressing such a specific effect, items A1, A2, and A3 in which the effects E1, E2, and E3 described in the second embodiment are set can be exemplified. In this case, Smax functions as a threshold of “intimacy” that allows a specific effect to be manifested.

  In the present embodiment and the second embodiment, the player may recognize that the effects E1, E2, and E3 are set for the items A1, A2, and A3. In that case, specifically, for example, when the “intimacy” exceeds Smax, the items A1, A2, and A3 are specific items for expressing the effects E1, E2, and E3. You may display on the screen 2a of the apparatus 2 by a suitable method. Alternatively, when the character card C1 and the items A1, A2, and A3 are combined, an effect that can be understood to be a specific thing for expressing the effects E1, E2, and E3 may be performed. In addition, the display form of the items A1, A2, and A3 may be displayed in a form (color, shape, size, flash movie, etc. that can be distinguished) different from the item A4 in which the effect is not set.

[Fifth Embodiment]
In the present embodiment, the “intimacy” of the character card is not changed according to the “degree” of a single item, or in addition to that, “ It has a configuration capable of changing the “intimacy”. More specifically, for example, when the item A1 is yogurt and the item A2 is a fruit sauce, the items A1, A1 can be tasted more deliciously by combining the two in the real world. A configuration in which the amount of increase in “intimacy” is greater than when A2 is synthesized alone is mentioned. At this time, for example, when the item A3 which is the same kind of fruit as the fruit source of the item A2 is further combined, the increase rate of the “intimacy” may be further increased. In addition, the same setting can be made in the case where a plurality of ingredients and cooking items that are said to be nutritionally good for example in the real world are combined. In addition, instead of changing the “intimacy”, when the items A1, A1, A3 are selected at the same time, the “degree” initially set for each item is increased. You can also

  On the contrary, in the case of combining such ingredients and cooking items, in combination with the combination that is said to be poor in the real world (not bound by the existence of scientific basis) A configuration in which the amount of increase in intimacy is reduced or reduced as compared with the case where the items are combined alone can also be adopted. Even in this case, instead of changing the “intimacy”, the “degree” initially set for each item may be reduced when those items are selected at the same time.

[Sixth Embodiment]
Further, in the state where the “intimacy” of the character card C1 exceeds a predetermined value, the “degree” of the item selected by the player increases the “intimacy” (examples of the first embodiment and the second embodiment) Then, in the case of item A1, A2), conversely, it may be set to decrease the “intimacy” so far. The situation where the “intimacy” of the character card C1 is already sufficiently large is often due to the result of being given a lot of favorite items A1 and favorite items A2. Even if you give your favorite food and items of your favorite food more, if you follow the real world, the character card is already bitter, and the form that reduces the previous “intimacy” Can be adopted.

[Seventh Embodiment]
Furthermore, when this game is a social game and a plurality of players can participate, an item selected by the player P1 among the plurality of players and a character card owned by another player P2 are combined. You may comprise so that a synthesis | combination is possible. The reverse case is of course also possible. In these cases, the “intimacy” between the player P2 and the character card based on the “individuality” provided on the character card of the player P2 and the “degree” regarding the “individuality” of the item selected by the player P1. Can be changed. If comprised in this way, communication of both, such as exchange and cooperation with the player P1 and player P2 which participated in the social game, can be activated, and it can contribute to activation of the whole social game.

  In this embodiment, the “degree” set for the item may be different for each character card owned by each of the players P1 and P2. For example, the “degree” of the apple of the item A1 is set to “like” in the character card preference of the player P1, and is set to “dislike” in the character card preference of the player P2. In addition, the display forms of the character cards, items A1 to A4, and effects owned by the players P1 and P2 may be different from each other. As the “effect” on the game at that time, various methods that can be recognized by the player can be adopted as in the case of the effect related to the combination of the character card and the item. Moreover, the change and deformation | transformation of those display forms may be performed based on the difference of the item which is a 2nd game medium, for example, and can also be performed based on the difference of the character card which is a 1st game medium. The timing for executing the effect is not limited to the time of combining the two.

  As described above, the program of the present invention and the method for controlling the game system can give a new added value to a game medium owned by the player, and give the game unexpectedness. The game is much more interesting and interesting than ever and can increase the player's interest and continuation in the game. In particular, games that are distributed, provided, and implemented in a server-client type network configuration (in particular, those that include elements of social games), software and hardware related technologies that are related to the distribution, provision, and implementation of such games, and It can be used widely and effectively for activities such as design, manufacture, and sales.
