<< About the game outline >>
Here, an outline of the game provided by the game system 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The game system 1 provides various games to be played using an electronic game card (a virtual card used in the game; hereinafter also simply referred to as a "character") to which game characters are associated.

<Match game>
In the game system 1 of this embodiment, a player can possess a plurality of characters. A player can play a battle game using a player character owned by the player. Specifically, the battle processing unit 112 determines an enemy character to be an opponent of the player, and based on various parameters (attack power, defense power, physical strength, etc.) set for each of the player character and the enemy character, Determine the outcome of the battle between these characters. When winning the battle with the enemy character, the item possessed by the enemy character and the enemy character itself are given to the player.

<Lottery game>
In the game system 1 in the present embodiment, the player can play a lottery game called a so-called “Gacha Gacha” (registered trademark). In the lottery game, a character selected from a plurality of characters is given to the player. The lottery game includes a normal lottery game and a special lottery game. In a normal lottery game, one character is awarded to the player when one lottery is performed. On the other hand, in a special lottery game, when one lottery is performed, a plurality of characters are given to the player at one time. The player can selectively play either a regular lottery game or a special lottery game. The player can increase the number of characters possessed by the player to the maximum number by repeating the lottery game. Then, the player can play the above-mentioned battle game using his own character.

<Character composition>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, the player uses the character (hereinafter referred to as “the material to be synthesized”) as the base character selected from the plurality of characters owned by the player (hereinafter also referred to as “the base character”). Character composition can be performed by combining material characters.

  In the present embodiment, the merits that can be given to the player by character composition are different from before the predetermined condition for character composition is established. In the following, it is assumed that the predetermined condition regarding character composition is that the number of times of character composition (the number of composition) has reached a predetermined number.

  First, if the base character and the material character are the same character before reaching the predetermined number of times, the base character is set to the base character before synthesis by synthesizing the material character with the base character. The upper limit of the parameter is increased, and the value is reset to the base character after synthesis so that the value of the parameter can be increased beyond the upper limit. When character composition is performed in this manner, the player can not possess both the base character and the material character, and can possess only the base character that has been enhanced by the composition.

  Then, when character synthesis is repeated until the number of times of synthesis reaches a predetermined number of times, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character gradually rises. In the present embodiment, as shown in the character information in FIG. 4, since the number of times of synthesis is limited to three times, if three times of character synthesis is repeated, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character becomes the limit value. It will be reached, and it will not be possible to increase the upper limit value of the parameters set for the base character, even if repeating the character synthesis more than that.

  Next, after the number of times of synthesis reaches a predetermined number of times, when the base character and the material character are the same character, the base character before synthesis is set to the base character before synthesis each time the material character is synthesized to the base character. Although the upper limit value (limit value) of the specified parameter can not be further increased, the player is given a benefit based on the property set for the material character. When character composition is performed in this manner, the player can not own the material character, and can continue to own only the base character, and can obtain benefits based on the characteristics of the material character. In the present embodiment, as described above, since the number of times of synthesis is limited to three times, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character every time the fourth, fifth, sixth ... character synthesis is performed Although there is no change in the limit value), a bonus based on the characteristics of the material character is given to the player.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the benefits based on the characteristics of the material character differ depending on the rarity class set for the material character. Specifically, when the rarity of the material character is a rare or higher class, a game item is given to the player as a bonus. If the rarity of the material character is a class equal to or less than uncommon, a virtual medal is awarded to the player as a benefit.

  As described above, since it is possible to continuously give the player the merits of performing character synthesis before and after the establishment of the predetermined condition, it is possible to increase the merit of repeating character synthesis.

<Auto composition>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, when the player performs the setting operation in advance, when a character is given to the player in the competition game or the lottery game, character synthesis is automatically performed regardless of the operation of the player. be able to. As a result, when it is determined whether or not the character can be a material character that can be synthesized with the base character when the character is given, it is possible to automatically perform the character synthesis. Become. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the time required for the player's operation input.

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

  When the player performs an operation for starting the 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, the server device 10 executes a character giving process (S101). Specifically, based on the character information shown in FIG. 4, the character giving processing unit 111 gives a player a character selected from a plurality of characters.

Next, when the character is given to the player, the server device 10 determines whether character composition is set to automatic composition (S102). That is, the determination processing unit 114 determines whether the item of the automatic composition setting is set to “ON” with reference to the player information shown in FIG.
Note that automatic composition setting may not be performed in advance by the player, and the determination process in step 102 may be omitted so that automatic composition is always performed for character composition.

  As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the automatic combining setting is set to “OFF” (S 102: NO), the process proceeds to step 104, and a screen data generation process 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, and character composition processing is performed. Below, the operation example regarding a character synthetic | combination process is demonstrated concretely.

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

  As a result of the 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 the update process is performed. That is, the update processing unit 115 updates the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7 by recording the character assigned to the player as the possessed character of the player in the storage unit 12.

  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 for character combination is satisfied. That is, with reference to the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7, the determination processing unit 114 determines whether or not the number of times of synthesis of the base character specified by the player has reached the maximum number of times (three times in the present embodiment). Determine

  As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the number of times of base character combination has not reached the maximum number (S202: NO), the process proceeds to step 203 and parameter variation processing is performed. Specifically, based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7, the parameter variation processing unit 113A sets the upper limit value of the ability parameter set for the base character from the current stage to the next stage. 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, the update processing unit 115 does not regard the character assigned to the player as the player's owned character, and a new current upper limit value for the ability parameter set as the base character By updating, the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 is updated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of times of synthesis of the base character has reached the maximum number (S202: YES), the process proceeds to step 204 without changing the performance parameter set for the base character, and the player is asked It is determined whether or not a predetermined condition relating to the characteristics set for the character imparted is satisfied. Specifically, the determination processing unit 114 determines whether the rarity set to the character given to the player is “rare” or more by referring to the character information shown in FIG.

  When it is determined that the rarity set to the character given to the player is "rare" or more (that is, "rare" or "super rare") as a result of the determination (S204: YES), Proceeding to step 205, an item granting process is performed. That is, based on the item information shown in FIG. 5, the privilege imparting processing unit 113B imparts to the player an item selected from among a plurality of items. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 207, where the update process is performed. That is, the update processing unit 115 does not set 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. , Update 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 giving processing is executed. That is, the privilege imparting processing unit 113B imparts 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. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 207, where the update process is performed. That is, the update processing unit 115 does not set the character given to the player as the player's owned character, and records the virtual medal given to the player in the storage unit 12 as shown in FIG. Update the indicated player information.

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

  Then, the server device 10 transmits the screen data (HTML data) generated in this manner to the player terminal 20 of the request source via the network. When the player terminal 20 receives the screen data (HTML data) transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the game screen (Web page) on the terminal display unit 24.

  FIG. 11 is a view showing an example of the game screen 50 before character composition. On the game screen 50, a game field area 51, a base character 52, and a material character arrangement area 53 are displayed. In the game field area 51, a base character 52 before synthesis is displayed, and character information is displayed in association with the base character 52. Here, “character A” is set as the base character 52, and “attack power”, “defense power”, and “physical strength” are displayed as ability parameters of the “character A”. For each parameter, it is shown that the current value is "80" points while the upper limit value is "100" points. In the material character arrangement area 53, five characters 54 to 58 assigned to the player are displayed.

  FIG. 12 is a view showing an example of the game screen 50 showing the character composition. Here, since the predetermined condition regarding the character composition has not been satisfied yet, the character 54 is automatically selected as the material character because it is the "character A" which is the same as the base character 52. The automatically selected character 54 moves from the material character arrangement area 53, is arranged in the game field area 51, and is then automatically synthesized with the base character 52.

  FIG. 13 is a view showing an example of the game screen 50 after character combination. In the game field area 51, "character A" which is the base character 52 after synthesis 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 risen to "200" points, and the current value has risen to "110" points. That is, it is shown that the upper limit value as well as the current value of the ability parameter set in the base character 52 has been increased by evolutionary synthesis.

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

  As described above, according to the game system 1 of the present embodiment, when the material character is given to the player, before the predetermined condition regarding the character combination is established, the base character is given Each time the material character is synthesized, the player is given the first merit that the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character can be gradually increased. On the other hand, after the predetermined condition for character composition is established, the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character can not be further increased each time the material character is synthesized with the base character, but the material A second advantage is given to the player that a benefit based on the characteristics set to the character is given to the player. In this way, it is possible to continuously give the player the merits of performing character synthesis before and after the establishment of the predetermined condition, so it is possible to increase the merit of repeating character synthesis. .

=== Other Embodiments ===
The above embodiments are for the purpose of facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and are not for the purpose of limiting the present invention. The present invention can be modified or improved without departing from the gist thereof, and the present invention also includes the equivalents thereof. In particular, the embodiments described below are also included in the present invention.

<Character composition>
In the above-described embodiment, when it is determined whether or not the material character can be synthesized with the base character, if the base character and the material character are the same character in step 201 of FIG. Although the example of enabling synthesis has been described, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when the base character and the material character are characters belonging to the same group, character composition may be made possible, or character composition may be made possible when they are different characters. . In addition, for example, when the player can all possess a plurality of types of characters previously associated with the base character, character composition may be performed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the base character and the material character are repeatedly synthesized before the predetermined condition for the character synthesis is satisfied, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character may be increased stepwise. Although described 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 raised stepwise up to the upper limit value. Further, for example, by changing the character ID corresponding to the base character before synthesis to a different character ID, different types of base characters may be changed stepwise one after another.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, if the combination of the base character and the material character is repeated after the predetermined condition for the character combination is established, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character is not further increased, but the material character Although the case where the privilege based on the characteristic set in is given to the player has been described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, after the establishment of the predetermined condition, whenever the base character and the material character are combined, the upper limit value of the ability parameter set for the base character is not further increased, but as a bonus, the preference parameter for the base character is set. The value may be raised gradually.

  Also, in the above-described embodiment, when one material character is given to the player, the case where the one material character is synthesized to the base character is described as an example. The invention is not limited to this. For example, when two or more material characters are given to the player at one time by a special lottery game or the like, the invention is also applied to a case where each material character is continuously synthesized to the base character. it can.

<Predetermined conditions for character composition>
In the above-described embodiment, as the predetermined condition for character synthesis, the number of times of synthesis reaches the predetermined number of times (for example, the maximum number of times: 3) has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto Absent. For example, the character composition may be repeated while setting the number of composition times unlimited, and the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character may reach the limit value (maximum value) as a predetermined condition for the character composition. .

<Auto composition>
The automatic synthesis in the above-described embodiment can also be applied when a special lottery game is performed and a plurality of characters are given to the player at one time. At this time, for example, one character of a plurality of characters assigned to the player is used as a base character for automatic synthesis, and the remaining character of the plurality of characters is used for automatic synthesis as a material character. You may.

<Character giving process>
In the above-described embodiment, the battle game and the lottery game are described as an example of the character giving process, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the character may be granted by clearing the mission given to the player. Also, the character may be assigned by the player inputting a serial code displayed on a web page or the like. In addition, the player may assign a character by logging in to the game system 1. Furthermore, the character may be given by an event (consumption of points in the event, top ranking person) provided in the game system 1.

<Designation of base character>
In the above-described embodiment, the player may use a character designated by the player from among the owned characters as a base character for composition, or the composition processing unit 113 automatically selects the character regardless of the player's designating operation. These characters may be used as a base character for composition.

<Server device 10>
