  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

  First, with reference to FIG. 1, a game system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. A game system 10 according to the present embodiment includes a server device 11 and a plurality of terminal devices 12. Only one terminal device 12 is shown in FIG. 1 for the sake of simplicity. The server device 11 provides the terminal device 12 with a game.

  Here, an outline of the game according to the present embodiment will be described. The game according to the present embodiment has, for example, two game modes of a first game mode and a second game mode performed using a game medium. Game media is electronic data used for a game, and includes any media such as cards, items, characters, and avatars. Also, the game medium is electronic data that may be acquired, possessed, used, managed, exchanged, combined, enhanced, sold, discarded, and / or gifted by the user, but the usage manner of the game medium is explicitly stated herein. It is not limited to Hereinafter, the character will be described as an example of the game medium.

  The first game mode is, for example, a game mode in which a single user advances a game. In the first game mode, the user plays a match against an opponent such as an NPC using, for example, a character owned in the game. The battle is played when a predetermined event occurs in the game, such as encounter with an enemy character. Also, in the first game mode, the user can obtain a reward such as a game medium by, for example, winning an opponent in the game or achieving a set mission (quest).

  The second game mode is, for example, a game mode in which a plurality of users advance a game. In the second game mode, the user cooperates with another user belonging to the same group (guild), for example, using a character owned in the game, such as a character of a user belonging to an NPC or another group Play a real-time match with your opponent. Further, in the second game mode, the user can obtain a reward such as a game medium by, for example, winning an opponent, or can increase the ranking ranking among a plurality of groups. The second game mode may have a playable time zone defined. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the second game mode can be played only in a predetermined time zone A. In addition, the user playing the second game mode may interrupt the play of the second game mode at any timing to be able to play the first game mode, and may interrupt the second game mode. It may be possible to return to the played at any timing.

  In the present embodiment, the battle in the second game mode is a battle in which groups to which a plurality of users belong compete for victory or defeat. A match between groups is customarily called a guild match or a GvG (guild vs guild or group vs group) match. For example, in a real-time GvG battle progressing on a turn basis, each user who belongs to a group whose turn is in progress selects a command for causing a character owned by him to act on each turn provided alternately for each group Do. The action is, for example, attack, recovery, and defense, but may include, for example, movement of a character. As described later, in the second game mode, the user-selectable commands include a first command and a second command. The character consumes action points that recover by a predetermined amount at the start of the turn, and executes actions according to the command selected by the user. If, for example, all the characters related to the opponent's group become unmatchable due to the action of the character of each user, the victory of the own group is determined.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the server device 11 includes a server communication unit 13, a server storage unit 14, a first reception unit 15, a determination unit 16, a second reception unit 17, and a server control unit 18. .

  The server communication unit 13 is an interface that communicates with an external device wirelessly or by wire and transmits and receives information. The server communication unit 13 transmits and receives information to and from the terminal device 12 via the network 19 such as the Internet, for example.

  The server storage unit 14 stores various information and programs necessary for providing and controlling a game. For example, the server storage unit 14 stores user information 20.

  The user information 20 is unique information about an individual user, and includes various information necessary for the user to play the game. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the user information 20 includes a group ID, a representative flag, a game medium ID, and a medium parameter in association with the user ID.

  The user ID is information that can uniquely identify the user, and is, for example, an arbitrary character string or a name arbitrarily set by the user.

  The group ID is information capable of uniquely identifying a group (for example, a guild) to which the user belongs, and is, for example, an arbitrary character string or a name arbitrarily set by the user who established the group.

  The representative flag is information indicating whether or not the corresponding user is a representative of the group (for example, a guild master). In each group, there is one user who is a representative. The user who is the representative may have predetermined authority regarding the group to which the user belongs. For example, the representative user can execute approval of member joining and leaving the group, transmission of a request for participation in the battle in the second game mode, transmission of an instruction to members of the group, and the like.

  The game medium ID is information that can uniquely identify the character used for the battle in the second game mode among the characters owned by the user.

  The media parameters are various parameters (set) associated with the corresponding characters. Parameters include, but are not limited to, for example, rarity, level, HP, AT, DF, and attributes. The rarity is a parameter indicating the rarity of the character, and the rarity is indicated by a plurality of stages such as normal, rare, and super rare. The level is a parameter indicating the degree of growth of the character, and the higher the level, the higher the degree of growth. The HP is a parameter indicating the strength of the character. For example, it decreases when an attack is received from another character, and becomes zero when the character becomes unmatched. AT is a parameter indicating the attack power of a character. The higher the AT, the higher the damage given to the other character by the attack, and it is easy to greatly reduce the HP of the other character. The DF is a parameter indicating the defense strength of the character, and the higher the DF, the lower the damage received from other characters, and the more difficult it is to reduce the HP. An attribute is a parameter which shows any attribute of fire, water, and a tree, for example, and is information about compatibility between attributes. Fire attributes are advantageous for tree attributes, tree attributes are for water attributes, and water attributes are for fire attributes. Here, the term "advantage" means an effect such as an increase in the amount of damage that a character having a fire attribute gives to another character having a tree attribute.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the user information 20 includes a plurality of first commands, a second command, a role flag, and an action point in association with the user ID. The user ID is the same as the user ID shown in FIG. The plurality of first commands, second commands, role flags, and action points may be stored in the server storage unit 14 as information unique to the game medium, in association with the game medium ID.

  The first command is, for example, a command predetermined by the game developer, for example, a command that causes the character to execute a predetermined action (basic action). Basic actions include, for example, attack, recovery and defense. The user can select some first commands among the plurality of first commands in the battle in the second game mode. The first command includes, for example, information on the content of the command, an attribute, and an action cost.

  The contents of the command indicate the action taken by the character by the execution of the first command. For example, "attack" indicates an action of reducing the HP of another character. "Recovery" indicates an action of increasing (restoring) the HP of the player character. Also, "defense" indicates an action of reducing the amount of damage received when attacked by another character. In addition, the content of the command is appropriately determined according to the battle system and the like. For example, in the case of a game in which the character can move on the game field, the content of the command may include the movement of the character.

  An attribute shows any attribute of fire, water, and a tree, for example. Alternatively, the attribute may indicate the nature of the action performed by the character by executing the command (e.g., slashing, hitting, magic, etc.).

  The action cost is information indicating the amount of action points consumed when executing the first command. If the action point owned by the user does not meet the action cost, the user can not select the command.

  The second command is, for example, a command for causing a character to execute a special action, and is a command determined according to two or more first commands. Details of the second command will be described later.

  The role flag is a flag indicating the role of the character. In the present embodiment, the role flag indicates either "vanguard" or "backguard". For example, in the battle in the second game mode, the character that is the avant-garde can attack characters in any role of the opponent's group. On the other hand, the character that is the back guard can attack only the avant-garde character of the opponent's group.

  The action point is information indicating the amount of action point owned by the user. When the user selects the first command, action points for the action cost corresponding to the first command are consumed. The action point is restored (increased) by a predetermined value each time the turn of the group to which the user belongs starts in the second game mode.

  When the first accepting unit 15 shown in FIG. 1 acquires information indicating the setting of two or more first commands for determining the second command from the terminal device 12 displaying the editing screen described later, the first accepting unit 15 The setting of the two or more first commands is received based on the information. The set two or more first commands are used to determine the second command. Preferably, the first accepting unit 15 determines the presence or absence of tampering with the information acquired from the terminal device 12 and, when determining that there is no tampering, accepts the setting of the two or more first commands.

  Here, the type and number of first commands for which the first reception unit 15 can receive the setting may be determined based on the user information 20. For example, depending on whether or not the user is a representative of a group, the type and number of first commands that can receive settings change. As an example, the type and number of first commands that can receive settings for a representative user is greater than the type and number of first commands that can receive settings for a non-representative user. Also, for example, the type and number of first commands for which setting can be accepted change according to the character or the parameter of the character used by the user for the match in the second game mode. As an example, the higher the level of the character, the more types and numbers of first commands that can receive settings. Also, for example, according to the attribute associated with each of the plurality of first commands included in the user information 20, the type and number of first commands that can receive the setting change. As an example, the first command that can receive the setting is limited to the first command having the same attribute as the attribute of the character.

  The determining unit 16 determines a second command corresponding to the set two or more first commands based on the setting received by the first receiving unit 15. Details of the process of determining the second command will be described later. Further, the determination unit 16 stores the determined second command in the server storage unit 14.

  When the second reception unit 17 acquires information indicating selection of the first command or the second command from the terminal device 12 displaying a battle screen to be described later during the battle in the second game mode, the second reception unit 17 is based on the information. And accepts the selection of the first command or the second command. Preferably, the second accepting unit 17 determines the presence or absence of tampering with the information acquired from the terminal device 12 and, when it is determined that there is no tampering, accepts the selection of the first command or the second command. .

  The server control unit 18 is, for example, a CPU that implements a specific function by reading a specific program, and implements each functional unit of the first reception unit 15, the determination unit 16, and the second reception unit 17. In addition, the server control unit 18 controls the operation of the entire server device 11 and the progress of the entire game.

  For example, the server control unit 18 controls the progress of the game in the first game mode. Specifically, when the server control unit 18 acquires information indicating the setting of the first command used for the battle in the second game mode from the terminal device 12 displaying the medium display screen to be described later, Based on the setting of the first command is accepted. The set first command is defined as the first command available in the battle according to the second game mode. Preferably, the server control unit 18 determines the presence or absence of falsification of the information acquired from the terminal device 12 and, when determining that there is no falsification, receives the setting of the first command.

  Here, the type and number of first commands for which the server control unit 18 can accept settings may be determined based on the user information 20. For example, depending on whether or not the user is a representative of a group, the type and number of first commands that can receive settings change. As an example, the type and number of first commands that can receive settings for a representative user is greater than the type and number of first commands that can receive settings for a non-representative user. Also, for example, the type and number of first commands for which setting can be accepted change according to the character or the parameter of the character used by the user for the match in the second game mode. As an example, the higher the level of the character, the more types and numbers of first commands that can receive settings. Also, for example, according to the attribute associated with each of the plurality of first commands included in the user information 20, the type and number of first commands that can receive the setting change. As an example, the first command that can receive the setting is limited to the first command having the same attribute as the attribute of the character.

  The server control unit 18 also controls the progress of the battle in the second game mode. For example, when the second reception unit 17 receives the selection of the first command or the second command during the battle in the second game mode, for example, the server control unit 18 selects the selected first command or the selected The second command is executed, and the game (competition) is advanced based on the execution result. Specifically, the server control unit 18 causes the character of the user to execute an action according to, for example, the selected command, and increases or decreases the parameter of the own character or another character. The server control unit 18 determines that, for example, the character whose HP has become zero and the character whose predetermined abnormal state has become unmatched. The server control unit 18 determines the outcome of the battle based on the number of times the character has become unmatched, the number of characters that can not be played, and the like. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 2, the server control unit 18 executes the battle in the second game mode in a specific time zone A. Specifically, the server control unit 18 starts the battle in the second game mode at the start time of the time slot A, ends the battle at the end time of the time slot A, and determines the outcome of the battle.

  The server control unit 18 also receives a screen transition request from the terminal device 12 to a medium display screen and an editing screen, which will be described later, in a specific time zone B, as shown in FIG. 2, for example. Preferably, the start time of the time zone B is equal to the end time of the time zone A in which the battle in the second game mode is performed. Also preferably, the end time of the time zone B is determined a predetermined time before the start time of the next time zone A.

  Further, in response to the transition request received from the terminal device 12, the server control unit 18 transmits a display instruction of the medium display screen or the editing screen to the terminal device 12. The display instruction includes information necessary for displaying the target screen on the terminal device 12.

  Next, details of the process in which the determination unit 16 determines the second command will be described. As described above, the second command is determined in response to the set two or more first commands. The two or more first commands may include a plurality of identical first commands. The following description is given assuming that three first commands respectively corresponding to defense, recovery, and attack are set.

  In one example, the determination unit 16 determines a second command including the set two or more first commands. In the present embodiment, the determination unit 16 determines, as a second command, one command that causes a plurality of basic actions corresponding to the set two or more first commands to be executed. For example, the second command is a command to execute three actions of defense, recovery, and attack. In this case, when the second command is executed during the battle in the second game mode, the user character performs defense, recovery, and attack, for example, in one turn. Alternatively, the user's character performs defense, recovery, and attack sequentially in three consecutive turns.

  Here, the determination unit 16 determines the second command so that the execution result in the case of executing two or more first commands is different from the execution result in the case of executing the second command. It is also good. Specifically, when two or more first commands are executed, for example, the amount of damage is reduced to 1⁄4 by defense, HP is increased by 100 points by recovery, and HP of other characters is increased by 200 points by attack. Decrease. In addition, the action point of the player character is reduced by a total of 90 points (10 points by defense, 30 points by recovery, and 50 points by attack). On the other hand, when the second command is executed, for example, the amount of damage is halved by defense, the HP is increased by 150 points by recovery, the HP of other characters is decreased by 50 points by attack, and the other character The action point of is reduced by 10 points, and the other character becomes abnormal (eg, poisoned). In addition, the action point of the player character is reduced by 45 points in total (5 points by defense, 15 points by recovery, and 25 points by attack). As described above, the increase / decrease amount of the parameter in the case of executing the second command may be larger than the increase / decrease amount of the parameter in the case of executing the set two or more first commands, or It may be small. Alternatively, the parameter that changes when executing two or more set first commands may be different from the parameter that changes when executing the second command.

  As described above, the second command is determined so that the execution result in the case of executing two or more first commands and the execution result in the case of executing the second command are different. Adjustment is easy. For example, in the case of a configuration in which the number of commands selectable in one turn is limited in the battle in the second game mode, the increase / decrease amount of the parameter that fluctuates due to the execution of two or more first commands is compared. By reducing the amount of increase or decrease in the parameter that fluctuates due to the execution of the second command (for example, by reducing the decrease in HP due to an attack), the selection of the second command substantially Can be prevented from being selected at one time. Alternatively, the disadvantage of selecting the second command is formed by increasing the increase / decrease amount of the parameter that fluctuates due to the execution of the second command (for example, increasing the decrease amount of the action point by the execution of the action). It is possible to prevent the user from selecting only the second command to advance the game.

  In addition, the determination unit 16 may determine the second command based on the order in which each of the two or more first commands is set. For example, the smaller the order in which the first command is set, the more the amount of increase or decrease in the parameter that fluctuates due to the action corresponding to the first command when the second command is executed. In addition, when the first command is set in a predetermined order (for example, third), the amount of increase or decrease in the parameter that fluctuates due to the action corresponding to the first command fluctuates when the second command is executed. You may In addition, when the same first command is set a plurality of times consecutively, the increase or decrease in the parameter that fluctuates due to the action corresponding to the first command when the second command is executed as the continuous number increases. May change.

  Further, the determination unit 16 may determine the second command based on the attribute associated with each of the two or more first commands. For example, as the number of first commands having a common attribute (for example, fire attribute) among two or more first commands increases, the amount of increase or decrease in the parameter that fluctuates due to the execution of the second command changes. It is also good. In addition, when all of the two or more first commands have the common attribute, the increase / decrease amount of the parameter that fluctuates due to the execution of the second command may further fluctuate.

  In another example, the determination unit 16 may determine a second command not including the first command. For example, the determining unit 16 determines, as a second command, one command that causes a special action to be performed according to the set two or more first commands. The special action is, for example, an action different from the basic action. Specifically, the determination unit 16 determines a second command according to a predetermined algorithm based on the set two or more first commands. For example, the determination unit 16 identifies the type of parameter that fluctuates when the set two or more first commands are executed, and calculates the increase / decrease amount of the parameter. The determination unit 16 determines the second command so as to change the parameter of the same type as the identified type by the calculated increase / decrease amount. Preferably, the determination unit 16 determines the second command based on at least one of the set order of the two or more first commands and / or the attribute, as in the example described above. In addition, the determination unit 16 performs an action (for example, an effect by screen display and an effect by voice) in the case of executing an action of a character corresponding to two or more first commands, and a character corresponding to a second command. The effect in the case of executing the special action may be different.

  The terminal device 12 includes a terminal communication unit 21, a terminal storage unit 22, a display unit 23, and a terminal control unit 24.

  The terminal communication unit 21 is an interface that communicates with an external device wirelessly or by wire and transmits and receives information. The terminal communication unit 21 transmits and receives information to and from the server apparatus 11 via, for example, the network 19.

  The terminal storage unit 22 stores various information and programs necessary for processing the game provided by the server device 11. For example, the terminal storage unit 22 stores in advance an application of the game according to the present embodiment.

  The display unit 23 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display, for example, and displays various game screens related to the game provided by the server device 11. Specifically, the display unit 23 displays a medium display screen, an editing screen, and a battle screen to be described later. The display unit 23 is formed of, for example, a touch panel, and functions as an input interface that receives an operation by the user.

  The terminal control unit 24 is a CPU that realizes a specific function by reading a specific program, for example, and controls the overall operation of the terminal device 12. For example, the terminal control unit 24 executes a game application according to the user's operation, communicates with the server device 11, and starts the game. In addition, when the terminal control unit 24 acquires a screen display instruction or an update instruction from the server device 11, the terminal control unit 24 causes the display unit 23 to display the screen or update the screen based on the instruction. In addition, the terminal control unit 24 transmits, to the server device 11, information based on a user operation accepted through various game screens. Specifically, the terminal control unit 24 makes a transition request for causing the screen displayed on the display unit 23 to transition to another screen, and setting of two or more first commands accepted via an editing screen to be described later. Information indicating the selection and information indicating selection of a first command or a second command received via a battle screen described later are transmitted to the server device 11.

  Next, various screens displayed on the display unit 23 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.

  The medium display screen 25 shown in FIG. 5 is a screen for displaying information on characters used for the battle in the second game mode. The medium display screen 25 includes an image display area 26, a medium parameter display area 27, a role setting area 28, a plurality of command setting areas 29, and an edit button 30.

  The image display area 26 is an area for displaying an image of a character.

  The media parameter display area 27 is an area for displaying the parameters of the character. In the medium parameter display area 27, for example, various parameters such as the character level, HP, AT, and DF are displayed.

  The role setting area 28 is an input interface that receives the setting of the role of the character (vanguard or backguard). The user can tap on the role setting area 28 to set any one of a plurality of roles displayed, for example, in a drop-down format.

  The command setting area 29 is an input interface that receives the setting of the first command used in the battle in the second game mode. The user can tap the command setting area 29 to set any first command among a plurality of first commands displayed in, for example, a drop-down format.

  The editing button 30 is an input interface for transmitting a request for transitioning the screen to the editing screen. When the editing button 30 is tapped by the user, the terminal device 12 transmits a screen transition request to the editing screen to the server device 11.

  The editing screen 31 shown in FIG. 6 is a screen for setting two or more first commands in order to determine a second command. The edit screen 31 includes a cost display area 32, a command content display area 33, two or more command setting areas 34, an automatic button 35, and a determination button 36.

  The cost display area 32 is an area for displaying a total value of behavioral costs corresponding to two or more first commands set in the command setting area 34.

  The command content display area 33 is an area for displaying the contents of commands corresponding to two or more first commands set in the command setting area 34 in the order in which each first command is set. For example, the command content display area 33 illustrated in FIG. 6 indicates that three first commands are set in the order of defense, recovery, and attack.

  The plurality of command setting areas 34 are input interfaces for setting two or more first commands for determination of the second command. The user can tap the command setting area 34 to set any first command among a plurality of first commands displayed in, for example, a drop-down format.

  Here, the action cost of each of the two or more first commands set to determine the second command may be different from, for example, the value of the action cost included in the user information 20. In the present embodiment, the action cost of each of the two or more first commands set to determine the second command is reduced to half of the action cost included in the user information 20. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the action cost of the attack in the user information 20 is 50 points, the action cost of recovery is 30 points, and the action cost of protection is 10 points. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, in the first command set for the determination of the second command, the attack action cost is 25 points, the recovery action cost is 15 points, and the defense action cost is 5 It is a point. In this way, the user can easily use the second command in the match, since the action cost of the second command, which has a relatively high value of the total action cost, is reduced.

  The automatic button 35 is an input interface for automatically setting two or more first commands for determination of a second command. When the automatic button 35 is tapped by the user, a predetermined algorithm automatically sets two or more first commands. For example, the server control unit 18 of the server device 11 compares the information on the user's character (for example, the medium parameter) with the information on the character of the group that is the user's opponent, and is effective for the opponent The combination of the above-mentioned first commands is automatically set (for example, when the character of the opponent is a fire attribute, the first command which is a water attribute is set preferentially). Alternatively, the server control unit 18 refers to the history information of the user in the past battle in the second game mode, and the first command whose execution frequency is high in the past battle or the first command whose execution result satisfies the predetermined condition. Commands (for example, the first command whose success rate of action is 90% or more) may be set preferentially.

  The determination button 36 is an input interface for determining settings of two or more first commands. When the edit button 30 is tapped by the user, the terminal device 12 receives settings of two or more first commands, and transmits information indicating the settings to the server device 11.

  The battle screen 37 shown in FIG. 7 is a screen for performing a GvG battle in the second game mode. The battle screen 37 includes a first group display area 38, a second group display area 39, a battle information display area 40, a plurality of first command buttons 41, and a second command button 42.

  The first group display area 38 is an area for displaying the character of the user and the characters of other users of the group to which the user belongs. The first group display area 38 includes an avant-garde display area 43 for displaying an avant-garde character and a rear guard display area 44 for displaying a rear guard character.

  The second group display area 39 is an area for displaying characters of users of the opponent's group. The second group display area 39 includes an avant-garde display area 45 for displaying an avant-garde character and a rear guard display area 46 for displaying a rear guard character.

  The battle information display area 40 is an area for displaying information indicating the progress of the game (match). In the battle information display area 40, for example, information such as the name of a user or a character, an executed command, an action executed by the character, and an execution result of the command are displayed in chronological order.

  The first command button 41 is an input interface for receiving the selection of the first command. When the first command button 41 is tapped by the user, the terminal device 12 receives the selection of the first command corresponding to the first command button 41, and transmits information indicating the selection to the server device 11. . The first command corresponding to the first command button 41 is the first command used for the battle in the second game mode (a first command set in the command setting area 29 shown in the medium display screen 25 of FIG. 5). Command). For example, in the command setting area 29 shown in FIG. 5, attack and recovery are respectively set. For this reason, in the battle screen 37 shown in FIG. 7, two first command buttons 41 respectively corresponding to attack and recovery are provided.

  The second command button 42 is an input interface for receiving the selection of the second command. When the second command button 42 is tapped by the user, the terminal device 12 receives the selection of the second command, and transmits information indicating the selection to the server device 11. Here, when the second command causes a plurality of actions to be executed, it is not necessary to display the plurality of actions corresponding to the second command as independent buttons by displaying the second command button 42. The user's operation can be received within the limited display area of the display unit 23 of the terminal device 12. In addition, the user can cause the character to execute a plurality of actions simply by tapping the second command button 42, thereby reducing the complexity of the game operation and improving the usability. Further, since the information indicating the selection of the second command is transmitted to the server device 11, the terminal device 12 transmits to the server device 11 transmission of information for causing the character to execute a plurality of actions. There is no need to do it multiple times. In other words, the terminal device 12 may transmit the information for causing the character to execute a plurality of actions to the server device 11 once. Therefore, even in a situation where the communication environment of the terminal device 12 is bad (for example, a situation in which communication can not be performed intermittently due to the movement of the terminal device 12), an adverse effect on the progress of the game can be reduced.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 8, a process in which the game system 10 determines a second command will be described. The said process is performed, for example in the time slot | zone B shown in FIG.

  First, the server device 11 stores a plurality of first commands (step S100). Here, the plurality of first commands may be, for example, a first command unique to the user, or may be a first command unique to a game medium owned by the user.

  Next, in response to the user's operation on the editing button 30 of the medium display screen 25, the terminal device 12 transmits a request for transitioning the screen to the editing screen 31 to the server device 11 (step S 101).

  Next, the server device 11 transmits an instruction to display the editing screen 31 to the terminal device 12 (step S102). The display instruction includes, for example, information necessary for causing the terminal device 12 to display the editing screen 31, such as a plurality of first commands stored in step S100.

  Next, the terminal device 12 displays the editing screen 31 on the display unit 23 based on the display instruction acquired from the server device 11 (step S103).

  Subsequently, the terminal device 12 receives setting of two or more first commands (step S104). The setting may be performed automatically, for example, in response to the operation of the automatic button 35 on the editing screen 31, or may be performed in response to the user's operation on the command setting area 34.

  Subsequently, the terminal device 12 transmits information indicating the setting received in step S104 to the server device 11 (step S105).

  Next, the server device 11 receives setting of two or more first commands based on the information transmitted by the terminal device 12 in step S105 (step S106).

  Subsequently, the server apparatus 11 determines a second command according to the set two or more first commands (step S107).

  Then, the server apparatus 11 stores the determined second command (step S108).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9, a process of causing the game system 10 to progress a battle in the second game mode will be described. The process is repeatedly performed until, for example, in the time zone A shown in FIG.

  First, the terminal device 12 receives the selection of the first command or the second command (step S200). The selection is performed, for example, in response to the operation of the first command button 41 or the second command button 42 on the battle screen 37.

  Subsequently, the terminal device 12 transmits information indicating the selection accepted in step S200 to the server device 11 (step S201).

  Next, the server device 11 receives the selection of the first command or the second command based on the information transmitted by the terminal device 12 in step S201 (step S202).

  Subsequently, the server apparatus 11 executes the selected first command or the selected second command (step S203). Execution of the command causes, for example, the character of the user to execute an action corresponding to the command.

  Subsequently, the server device 11 advances the game based on the execution result of the command executed in step S203 (step S204). Specifically, the game progresses such that, for example, the HP of another character is increased or decreased or the other character becomes unmatchable by the user character performing an action corresponding to the command.

  Subsequently, the server device 11 transmits an update instruction of the battle screen 37 to the terminal device 12 according to the situation of the game advanced in step S204 (step S205). The update instruction includes, for example, information necessary for causing the terminal device 12 to update the battle screen 37, such as a moving image indicating the action of the character and a parameter whose character has been increased or decreased.

  Then, the terminal device 12 updates the battle screen 37 displayed on the display unit 23 based on the update instruction acquired from the server device 11 (step S206).

  Thus, according to one embodiment, the server device 11 determines a second command in response to the two or more first commands, and selects the selected first command or the selected second command. Advance the game based on the execution result of. The user can newly create a second command by combining two or more first commands among the plurality of first commands stored in advance in the server storage unit 14. Therefore, since the variation of the command for advancing the game is increased, the user's interest in the game is improved. In addition, strategicity regarding a combination of two or more first commands is generated, and the interest of the game is improved.

  Moreover, according to one embodiment, the execution result in the case of executing two or more first commands is different from the execution result in the case of executing the second command. For example, compared with the increase / decrease amount of the parameter in the case of executing two or more set first commands, the increase / decrease amount of the parameter in the case of executing the second command is larger or smaller. Alternatively, the parameter that changes when executing two or more set first commands is different from the parameter that changes when executing the second command. Therefore, the execution result of the second command can not necessarily be predicted by the user based on a combination of two or more first commands. In this way, by providing the user with the motivation to try various combinations of the first command to create an effective second command, the interest of the game is further enhanced.

  Also, according to one embodiment, the second command is determined based on the order in which each of the two or more first commands is set. In this way, by giving the user the motivation to try various combinations by changing the order of two or more first commands in order to create an effective second command, the interest of the game is enhanced. Further improve.

  Also, according to one embodiment, the second command is determined based on an attribute associated with each of the two or more first commands. For example, as the number of first commands having a common attribute among two or more first commands increases, the amount of increase or decrease in the parameter that fluctuates due to the execution of the second command fluctuates. In addition, when all of the two or more first commands have a common attribute, the increase / decrease amount of the parameter that fluctuates due to the execution of the second command fluctuates more greatly. In this way, in order to create an effective second command, the user may try the combination of two or more first commands having common attributes in a prioritized manner, improving usability.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various changes and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, each means, the function included in each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically contradictory, and it is possible to combine or divide a plurality of means, steps, etc. into one. .

  When the second command causes an action corresponding to two or more first commands to be executed, when the server apparatus 11 receives the selection of the second command during the battle in the second game mode, 2 Only a part of the actions corresponding to the one or more first commands may be executed by the character, and the game may be advanced based on the execution result. For example, when the second command causes three actions of defense, recovery, and attack, the server apparatus 11 performs any one of the action of defense, recovery, and attack each time it receives the selection of the second command. Make the character execute Thus, for example, even if the number of first commands available for battle in the second game mode is limited, the first command usable for battle via the second command The number of increases substantially.

  Further, in the case where the second command causes the action corresponding to two or more first commands to be executed, the server device 11 satisfies the predetermined condition based on the progress of the battle in the second game mode. The character may be caused to execute all of the actions corresponding to the two or more first commands, and the game may be advanced based on the execution result. In addition, when the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the server device 11 causes the character to execute only the action corresponding to a part of the first commands among the two or more first commands, and based on the execution result. You may advance the game. For example, in the case where the second command causes the defense, recovery, and attack to be executed, the server device 11 causes the user character to execute the defense action when the selection of the second command is received. After that, the server device 11 causes the user character to further execute the action of recovery and attack only when the characters of other users belonging to the same group as the user execute the predetermined action. Thus, for example, by defining the conditions under which the actions of the characters of the plurality of users cooperate, cooperation among the plurality of users is promoted, and interaction among the users is promoted.

  In addition, the first command capable of accepting the selection during the battle in the second game mode is set to the determination of the second command among the plurality of first commands stored in the server device 11. It may be a first command excluding one or more first commands. In other words, the first command set for use in the battle according to the second game mode is controlled such that it can not be selected as two or more first commands for determination of the second command. In this way, the user needs to decide whether to use any first command in a match according to the second game mode or to determine the second command, the game strategy Improves the quality.

  Further, in the embodiment described above, the game in which the GvG match is played is described as an example, but the content and the genre of the game are not limited to this. For example, any game in which the operation of the game medium is determined according to a command selected by the user, such as a fighting game or a puzzle game can be employed.

  In the embodiment described above, the number of two or more first commands for determining the second command, specifically, the number of first commands for which the first accepting unit 15 can accept the setting is Although the described configuration has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the server device 11 stores a predetermined parameter, for example, a set point, as a part of the user information 20. Further, the server device 11 stores the first command in association with a predetermined parameter, for example, a setting cost. Then, when the total value of the set costs of the two or more first commands set is equal to or less than the user's set point, the first reception unit 15 receives the setting of the two or more first commands. . Here, the setting point of the user may be determined based on the user information 20. For example, the setting point of the user changes depending on whether the user is a representative of the group.

  In addition, the values of the set point and the set cost may be values indicated by in-game time (for example, seconds or a number of frames). For example, the user sets a plurality of setting points as upper limits in consideration of setting costs corresponding to the first command (for example, motion time from execution of an action corresponding to the first command to completion). Combine the first command of. Concretely, the composition which adopts a fighting game is explained as an embodiment of the present invention. In such a case, the basic action corresponding to the first command is, for example, punch and kick corresponding to button operation, movement corresponding to direction instruction operation, squat operation, jump, back step and guard, and direction instruction operation and button operation Including special techniques (lever insertion techniques) and special moves corresponding to combinations with The user, for example, punches (0.8 seconds), punches (0.8 seconds) so that the total motion time of a plurality of basic actions falls within a set point (for example, 5 seconds) before starting the battle. , Kick (1.6 seconds), backstep (1.1 seconds), guard (0.6 seconds), and set a plurality of first commands. Since the sum (4.9 seconds) of the motion time of the plurality of first commands is within the set point (5 seconds), the first reception unit 15 receives the settings of the plurality of first commands.

  Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although the action cost was demonstrated as what is set to a 1st command and a 2nd command, it is not restricted to this. For example, instead of the action cost, an action time may be set. The action time is an in-game time (for example, seconds or frame number) required from the start to the completion of the action corresponding to the command. Here, in the battle in the second game mode, for example, when the turn is ended by the passage of a predetermined in-game time, the user can execute a plurality of actions by selecting the second command only once. The complexity of the operation can be reduced, and the time required for the game operation can be shortened. For this reason, the character can be made to act efficiently in one turn, and the usability is improved.

  In the embodiment described above, a part or all of the processing performed by the server device 11 may be a native game that is executed by a native application installed in the terminal device 12.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, a part of the various game screens is displayed on the web based on the data generated by the server device 11 to be displayed on the terminal device 12, and a part of the game screen (e.g. (Header area and footer area) may be a native display displayed by a native application installed in the terminal device 12. Thus, the game according to the above-described embodiment can be a hybrid game in which each of the server device 11 and the terminal device 12 takes part of processing.

  Further, in order to function as the server device 11 or the terminal device 12 according to the above-described embodiment, an information processing apparatus such as a computer or a mobile phone can be suitably used. Such an information processing apparatus stores a program describing processing contents for realizing each function of the server apparatus 11 or the terminal apparatus 12 according to the embodiment in the storage unit of the information processing apparatus, and the CPU of the information processing apparatus It can be realized by reading and executing a program.
