The terminal device 12 is an information processing device used by a user, such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a PC (Personal Computer), or a game device. The server device 11 and the terminal device 12 are communicably connected via a network 16 such as the Internet. For example, the server device 11 and the terminal device 12 cooperate to execute various processes related to the game.

(Outline of the game)
The outline of the game according to this embodiment will be described. The game according to the present embodiment includes various game contents. At least a part of the various game contents may be executed using the game medium.

The game medium is electronic data used in the game, and includes any medium such as cards, items, virtual currencies, tickets, characters, and avatars. Further, the game medium is electronic data that can be acquired, owned, used, managed, exchanged, synthesized, strengthened, sold, discarded, or donated by the user in the game. It is not limited to what is specified.

Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the "game medium owned by the user" refers to a game medium associated with a user ID that can uniquely identify the user as the owned game medium. Further, "giving the game medium to the user" means that the game medium is associated with the user ID as the owned game medium. Further, "discarding the game medium owned by the user" means canceling the association between the user ID and the game medium owned by the user. Further, "consuming the game medium owned by the user" means that some effect or influence can be generated in the game depending on the cancellation of the association between the user ID and the owned game medium. Further, "selling the game medium owned by the user" means that the association between the user ID and the owned game medium is canceled and the user ID owns another game medium (for example, virtual currency or item). Indicates that it is associated as a game medium. Further, "transferring the game medium owned by the user A to the user B" means that the association between the user ID of the user A and the owned game medium is canceled and the game medium is owned by the user ID of the user B. Indicates that it is associated as a game medium. Further, "creating a game medium" means defining or determining at least a part of information about the game medium. Details of the information regarding the game medium will be described later.

Game content is content that can be played by the user in the game, such as quests, missions, mini-games, training, strengthening, and synthesis of game media, game media acquisition events, virtual space exploration events, and opponents ( For example, a battle event with another user, an enemy character, an enemy building, etc.) is included. One or more predetermined tasks (game tasks) may be set for each game content. For example, when it is determined that one or more game tasks set in the game content played by the user have been successfully achieved, for example, a game medium or the like may be given to the user as a reward. As the game task, any task can be adopted according to the content of the game content, such as a task of winning a battle with an enemy character and a task of reaching a goal point in the virtual space. Further, the achievement of a specific task (clear task) among one or more game tasks set in the game content is also referred to as clearing the game content. If the user who plays the game content succeeds in achieving the clear task, it is determined that the game content is cleared, and the game content may be terminated.

The various game contents may include game contents for single play and game contents for multiplayer. The game content for single play may include, for example, game content (for example, game content for one person) executed based on a user operation on one terminal device 12 used by one user. For example, one terminal device 12 alone or one terminal device 12 and a server device 11 cooperate to execute game content for single play. On the other hand, the game content for multiplayer is, for example, a game content common to the two or more users, which is executed based on a user operation on the two or more terminal devices 12 used by the two or more users (for example). , Game content for multiple players). The game content common to two or more users is, for example, a game content in which at least a part of the progress processing of the game content and at least a part of the processing result are applied to the two or more users in common. May include. For example, two or more terminal devices 12 cooperate with each other, or two or more terminal devices 12 and a server device 11 cooperate with each other to execute game contents for multiplayer. One game content may support both single player and multiplayer.

In the game according to the present embodiment, the user selects one or more game media (game media used) to be used for the battle content from the game media (owned game media) owned by the user. Hereinafter, the one or more game media used are collectively referred to as a deck. In the present embodiment, the battle content is game content including, for example, an element of a side-scrolling action game and an element of a battle game in which a deck is used to play against an opponent. The opponent is, for example, an automatically operated game medium such as an NPC (Non-Player Character), but is not limited to this. For example, the opponent may be a game medium operated by another user. In one game content, the number of opponents may be arbitrarily determined.

A user who plays a single-player battle content using the terminal device 12 operates a moving object 24 such as a motorcycle to acquire a predetermined item while avoiding obstacles and the like. Depending on the number of items acquired, the game medium included in the deck attacks the opponent. You can damage your opponent by attacking them. On the other hand, the opponent attacks the user at predetermined time intervals, for example. Attacks on the user cause damage to the user. A predetermined parameter is set for each of the user and the opponent to reduce the amount of damage given. When the opponent's parameter decreases to a predetermined value (for example, zero), it is determined that the user wins. On the other hand, when the parameter of the user decreases to a predetermined value (for example, zero), it is determined that the user is defeated. If it is determined that the user has won or defeated, the match content may end.

On the other hand, the multiplayer battle content is executed in the same manner as the single-player battle content described above, except that two or more users play against a common opponent. Specifically, each of the two or more users uses their own terminal device 12 to play common battle content. Each of the two or more users operates the moving object 24 as described above. The game media included in the decks of the two or more users attack a common opponent. The above-mentioned parameters of the opponent are commonly applied to two or more users. For example, the opponent's parameters may be synchronized between a plurality of terminal devices 12 used by two or more users. When the opponent's parameter decreases to a predetermined value (for example, zero), it is determined that two or more users have won. On the other hand, when the parameter of each of the two or more users decreases to a predetermined value (for example, zero), it is determined that the two or more users are defeated. If it is determined that two or more users have won or lost, the match content may end.

(Configuration of server device)
The configuration of the server device 11 will be specifically described. The server device 11 includes a server communication unit 13, a server storage unit 14, and a server control unit 15.

The server communication unit 13 includes an interface that communicates with an external device wirelessly or by wire to transmit and receive information. The server communication unit 13 may include, for example, a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) communication module, a wired LAN communication module, or the like. The server communication unit 13 can send and receive information to and from the terminal device 12 via the network 16.

The server storage unit 14 includes, for example, a primary storage device and a secondary storage device. For example, the server storage unit 14 may include a semiconductor memory, a magnetic memory, an optical memory, or the like. The server storage unit 14 stores various information and programs necessary for providing and controlling the game. At least a part of the information and the program stored in the server storage unit 14 may be shared and synchronized with the terminal device 12. Hereinafter, an example of the information stored in the server storage unit 14 will be specifically described.

(Information about users)
The server storage unit 14 stores information about a plurality of users. Information about the user will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 shows information about each of the two users. Information about a user includes various information specific to that user. For example, the information about the user includes a user ID, a user name, a rank, information about the owned game medium, and information about the game medium used. In the information about the user, each of the plurality of users is associated with the information about the owned game medium and the information about the used game medium.

The user ID is information that can uniquely identify the user as described above. Hereinafter, the user ID is also simply referred to as a user.

The user name is information indicating the name of the user. Unlike the user ID, the user name does not have to be able to uniquely identify the user. The user name may be arbitrarily determined and changed according to the user operation on the terminal device 12.

Rank is a parameter that indicates the user's skill level with respect to the game. In this embodiment, the rank value may increase according to the user's play of the game. The higher the rank, the higher the skill level of the user regarding the game.

The information about the owned game medium includes various information specific to the game medium (owned game medium) owned by the user in the game. When the game medium is acquired by the user, the game medium is associated with the user as the owned game medium. Details of the information regarding the owned game medium will be described later.

The information regarding the game medium used is information indicating the game medium (game medium used) to be used by the user in the battle content. The game medium used is selected from the owned game media. In the present embodiment, for example, up to five game media selected from one or more owned game media are associated with the user as game media to be used. Therefore, one game medium can be both a owned game medium and a used game medium. The game medium to be used may be selected automatically or according to a user operation, for example, in a dedicated game content. For example, the dedicated game content may include game content for so-called deck formation, team formation, or the like. A maximum of five game media used as shown in the information regarding the game media used constitutes one deck.

Information on the above-mentioned owned game medium will be described in detail. FIG. 3 shows information about two owned game media associated with one user. For example, information about each owned game medium includes a game medium ID, a game medium name, a level, a rarity, an HP (Hit Point), an attack power, a resilience, a cost, an attribute, and a game function. Contains information about and.

The game medium ID is information that can uniquely identify the game medium. The game medium ID may be stored in the server storage unit 14 in advance. Alternatively, the game medium ID may be determined by the server device 11 when the user is made to acquire the game medium.

The game medium name is information indicating the name of the game medium. Unlike the game medium ID, the game medium name does not have to be able to uniquely identify the game medium. The initial value of the game medium name may be stored in the server storage unit 14 in advance. The game medium name may change according to the game play by the user who acquired the game medium.

The level is information indicating the degree of growth of the game medium. For example, the larger the level value, the greater the growth rate of the game medium. In this embodiment, the level value may increase according to the user's play of the game.

The degree of rarity is information indicating the degree of rarity of the game medium. For example, the larger the value of the rarity, the higher the rarity of the game medium. The rarity may increase as the user plays the game. As the rarity value increases, for example, the upper limit of the level may increase.

The HP is a parameter used to determine the first parameter of the user used during the execution of the battle content. In the present embodiment, the sum of the HPs of all the game media used in the deck is used as the initial value of the user's first parameter at the start of the battle content. Hereinafter, the first parameter of the user is also referred to as the total HP of the user. If the user is damaged by the attack of the opponent during the execution of the battle content, the total HP is reduced by the amount of the damage. If, for example, the user operates the moving object 24 to acquire the recovery item described later during the execution of the battle content, the total HP increases. When the total HP decreases to a predetermined value (for example, zero), it is determined that the user is defeated. Therefore, the larger the HP of each game medium included in the deck, the more advantageous it is for the user. HP may increase as the level increases.

The attack power is information that contributes to the amount of damage given to the opponent by, for example, an attack of a game medium. The greater the attack power value, the greater the amount of damage done to the opponent. Therefore, the greater the attack power of the game medium, the more advantageous it is to the user. The attack power may increase as the level increases.

Resilience is a parameter used to determine the user's second parameter used during the execution of the match content. In this embodiment, the sum of the resilience of all the game media used in the deck is used as the second parameter of the user. Hereinafter, the second parameter of the user is also referred to as the total resilience of the user. If, for example, the user operates the moving object 24 to acquire the recovery item described later during the execution of the battle content, the total HP increases. The greater the value of total resilience, the greater the amount of increase in total HP. Therefore, the greater the resilience of each game medium included in the deck, the more advantageous it is to the user. Resilience may increase as the level increases.

Cost is a parameter used to determine which deck to use for competitive content. In the present embodiment, a maximum of five game media can be selected within a range in which the total cost of each game media used does not exceed a predetermined upper limit. The upper limit may be increased according to, for example, the user playing the game.

The attribute is information indicating the attribute of the game medium. The attribute may include a plurality of first attributes (for example, fire attribute, wood attribute, and water attribute) indicating the superiority or inferiority relationship between the game media in which the battle is performed. At least one of the plurality of first attributes is associated with one game medium. For example, in a game medium having a fire attribute, the damage given to a game medium having a wood attribute is larger than usual, and the damage given to a game medium having a water attribute is smaller than usual. Thus, for example, the fire attribute is advantageous to the wood attribute and disadvantageous to the water attribute. The attributes may include a plurality of second attributes (for example, attack attributes, recovery attributes, balance attributes, etc.) that do not affect the superiority or inferiority between the game media in which the battle is performed. At least one second attribute of the plurality of second attributes is associated with one game medium. Therefore, for example, there may be one game medium in which the first attribute is the fire attribute and the second attribute is the attack attribute.

The information about the game function includes various information specific to the game function associated with the game medium. An arbitrary number of game functions may be associated with one game medium. In the present embodiment, the game function includes, for example, various functions that can be exhibited during the execution of the battle content. Hereinafter, enabling the game function to be exhibited is also referred to as activation of the game function. A plurality of effective game functions may coexist. When the game function is enabled, for example, when an event corresponding to the game function occurs, the game function may be exhibited. When the game function is exerted, for example, an effect advantageous to the user may occur in the battle content. Therefore, it may be advantageous to the user by exerting the game function. For example, as will be described later, there may be a game function that produces an effect of doubling the attack power of the game medium used. If an event occurs in which the game medium used attacks while the game function is enabled, the attack is performed with the attack power of the game medium used doubled. Hereinafter, the exertion of the game function is also referred to as the application of the game function.

Information about the game functions described above will be described in detail. FIG. 4 shows information on three game functions among various game functions. Information about the game function includes a game function name, a user condition, a game medium condition, a target parameter, a rate of change, an activation condition, and a cancellation condition.

The game function name is information indicating the name of the game function. The game function name may be able to uniquely identify the game medium. The game function name may be stored in the server storage unit 14 in advance.

The user condition includes one or more conditions relating to the user for determining the range affected by the game function. For example, a game function whose user condition is "principal" may affect a user who owns a game medium to which the game function is associated. Hereinafter, a game function in which the user condition indicates one user (for example, a game function in which the user condition is "the person") is also referred to as a single skill. On the other hand, the game function in which the user condition is "plurality" may affect a plurality of users among two or more users who play the battle content for multiplayer. In addition, the game function in which the user condition is "all" can affect all two or more users who play the competitive content for multiplayer. Hereinafter, a game function in which the user condition indicates a plurality of users (for example, a game function in which the user condition is "plurality" or "all") is also referred to as a multi-skill. User conditions are not limited to "principal," "plurality," and "all." For example, the user condition may be an "opponent" indicating an opponent in the opponent content. A game function whose user condition is "an opponent" can affect an opponent.

In the battle content for single play, the activation of the single skill associated with each of all the game media used in the deck may be permitted, and the activation of the multi-skill may be prohibited. In such a case, only the single skill can be activated in the battle content for single play.

In the battle content for multiplayer, activation of multiskills associated with each of some game media used included in the deck may be permitted, and activation of at least some single skills may be prohibited. On the other hand, activation of the single skill associated with each of the remaining game media used in the deck may be permitted, and activation of the multi-skill may be prohibited. In such a case, in the battle content for multiplayer, only the multiskill can be activated for some of the game media used in the deck, and only the single skill can be enabled for the remaining game media used.

For example, a maximum of one single skill and a maximum of one multi-skill may be associated with one game medium in advance. Therefore, a game medium to which only multi-skills are associated, a game medium to which only single skills are associated, a game medium to which single skills and multi-skills are associated, and a game in which neither single skills nor multi-skills are associated. There can be a medium. Further, for example, out of a maximum of five game media used in the deck, only one skill may be activated for one game medium used, and only a single skill may be enabled for the remaining four game media used. For example, for a game medium to which a set of single skill and multi-skill are associated, a skill that can activate the game medium depending on whether the battle content to be played is for single play or multi-play. May be switched. On the other hand, for example, for a game medium to which only a single skill is associated, the single skill may be enabled regardless of whether the battle content to be played is for single play or multiplayer.

The game medium condition includes one or more conditions relating to the game medium for determining the range affected by the game function. For example, a game function whose game medium condition is "fire attribute" can affect a game medium having a fire attribute. The game medium conditions are not limited to attributes, and may indicate arbitrary conditions related to the game medium, such as the level, rarity, HP, attack power, resilience, cost, or game medium name of the game medium. Further, for example, the game medium condition may be "all". A game function whose game medium condition is "all" can affect all game media.

The target parameter is information indicating the type of parameter that changes when the game function is exerted. For example, a game function whose target parameter is "attack power" can change the attack power of the game medium. The target parameter is not limited to the attack power, and may indicate any parameter used for executing the battle content, for example, the HP of the game medium.

The rate of change is a rate of change that changes the target parameter when the game function is exerted. For example, a case where the game function in which the user condition is "the person", the game medium condition is "fire attribute", the target parameter is "attack power", and the rate of change is "2.5 times" is effective. In such a case, when an event occurs in which the game medium used by the user who is the "principal" attacks, the game function is exhibited. By demonstrating the game function, the attack power of the game medium used for the fire attribute to attack is increased by 2.5 times. The information about the game function may include a change amount that changes the target parameter instead of the change rate.

The activation condition includes one or more conditions necessary for activating the game function. For example, a game function whose activation condition is "5 times" can be activated when the condition that the corresponding game medium used attacks 5 times during execution of the battle content is satisfied, as will be described later. It becomes.

The cancellation condition includes one or more conditions for disabling the activated game function. For example, when the game function whose release condition is "twice" is enabled and the condition that the event in which the game medium used attacks occurs twice in total is satisfied, the game function is invalidated. .. Further, for example, when the game function whose cancellation condition is "30 seconds" is enabled, if the condition that 30 seconds have passed from a predetermined timing (for example, the timing when the game function is activated) is satisfied, The game function is disabled.

The logical product of the above-mentioned user condition and game medium condition may be used to determine the range affected by the game function. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the range affected by the game function "multiskill C" in which the user condition is "everyone" and the game medium condition is "fire attribute" is to play the battle content for multiplayer. Includes game media that use fire attributes for all two or more users. Then, when an event occurs in which the game medium used, which is a fire attribute, attacks between a predetermined timing and 30 seconds elapses, the attack is performed with the attack power of the game medium used being doubled. ..

For example, when one game function is enabled, another game function may be enabled. Further, for example, a plurality of game functions may be enabled at substantially the same time. Therefore, a plurality of game functions may be effective at the same time. The control of the plurality of game functions when the plurality of game functions are effective will be described later.

The content of the information regarding the game function is not limited to the above. For example, the information about the game function may further include the level and experience value of the game function. For example, the experience value of the game function may be increased by consuming a predetermined game medium owned by the user. The predetermined game medium may include, for example, any game medium to which the game function is associated. Further, for example, the predetermined game medium may include one or more types of game media predetermined for the game function. When the experience value of the game function reaches a predetermined reference value, the level of the game function may increase. As the level of the game function increases, the activation conditions included in the information about the game function may be relaxed. For example, as the level of the game function increases, the number of times indicated in the activation condition may decrease. The level and experience value of the game function may be shared between the single skill and the multi-skill associated with one game medium. According to such a configuration, the user only needs to increase the level of the single skill, for example, to increase the level of the multi-skill. Therefore, the burden on the user who increases the level of multi-skill is reduced. Further, even if the game medium is associated with both the multi-skill and the single skill as described above, only one of the multi-skill and the single skill can be activated during the execution of the battle content. Therefore, even if the level and experience value of the game function are standardized between the single skill and the multi-skill, the deterioration of the game balance is suppressed.

The content of information about the user is not limited to that described above. For example, the information about a user may further include information indicating another user (related user) who satisfies a predetermined condition. In the present embodiment, the information indicating the related user includes, for example, the user ID of another user associated unidirectionally or bidirectionally with the user. The associated users may be able to communicate with each other, for example, by sending and receiving messages on the game system 10. Hereinafter, the other user who is unidirectionally associated with the other user from the first user is also referred to as a follow user of the first user. Further, the other user unidirectionally associated with the first user from the other user is also referred to as a follower user of the first user. Further, the other user in which the first user and the other user are bidirectionally associated with each other is also referred to as a friend user of the first user.

(Information about the game medium that is the opponent)
The server storage unit 14 shown in FIG. 1 stores information about a game medium (for example, an NPC) that is an opponent in the battle content. For example, the information about the game medium that is the opponent may include the game medium ID, the game medium name, the level, the HP, the offensive power, the defensive power, the attribute, and the quickness of the game medium. The game medium ID, game medium name, level, HP, attack power, and attributes are the same as the above-mentioned information regarding the owned game medium. For example, when the HP of the opponent decreases to a predetermined value (for example, zero), it is determined that the user who plays the battle content wins. Defensive power is a parameter used to determine the amount of damage given to an opponent's game medium. For example, the greater the defense power, the smaller the amount of damage given to the opponent's game medium. Quickness is a parameter used to determine the time interval at which an opponent's game medium makes an attack. For example, the greater the speed, the shorter the time interval, the more the opponent's game medium may attack.

(Information about game content)
The server storage unit 14 stores information about various game contents. The information about the game content includes arbitrary information specific to the game content. For example, FIG. 5 shows information about three battle contents among various game contents. The information regarding the battle content may include a content ID, a content name, a content attribute, a difficulty level, a play cost, a single-player game data, and a multiplayer game data.

The content ID is information that can uniquely identify the battle content. The content ID may be stored in the server storage unit 14 in advance.

The content name is information indicating the name of the battle content. Unlike the content ID, the content name does not have to be able to uniquely identify the competition content. The content name may be stored in the server storage unit 14 in advance.

The content attribute is information for classifying the battle content. The content attributes may be arbitrarily determined according to, for example, the content or nature of the battle content. For example, the content attribute of the battle content for which the user can play for an unlimited period may be set to "normal". Further, for example, the content attribute of the battle content whose playable period by the user is limited may be set to "limited period". Not limited to "normal" and "limited time", any information that can classify the battle content can be adopted as the content attribute.

The difficulty level is information indicating the difficulty level of achieving the task of clearing the battle content. The difficulty level may be arbitrarily determined according to, for example, the content or nature of the battle content. For example, the larger the parameters such as the number, level, HP, offensive power, and defensive power of the opponent game medium, the higher the difficulty of the battle content.

The play cost is information indicating the cost required for the user to play the battle content. For example, the play cost may indicate the consumption amount of a predetermined point (play point) associated with the user. The user can play the battle content only when the user's play point is equal to or higher than the play cost. The user's play points can be increased, for example, with the passage of time or the consumption of a given game medium (eg, an item).

The single-player game data includes various information necessary for executing the battle content as the single-player game content. For example, the single-player game data may include so-called asset data such as image data and audio data used for executing the battle content. The single-player game data may include information about the game medium of the opponent.

The multiplayer game data includes various information necessary for executing the battle content as the multiplayer game content. For example, single-player game data may include asset data and information about an opponent's game medium.

In the present embodiment, the information regarding one battle content includes at least one of one single-player game data and one multiplayer game data. For example, a battle content to which only single-player game data is associated functions only as a single-player battle content. Further, the battle content to which only the multiplayer game data is associated functions only as the battle content for multiplayer. Further, the battle content to which both the single-player game data and the multi-play game data are associated with each other functions as the battle content for single-player or multi-play.

The server control unit 15 shown in FIG. 1 uses at least one of one or more general-purpose processors that realize a specific function by reading a specific program and one or more dedicated processors that specialize in a specific process. include. The server control unit 15 controls the operation of the entire server device 11. Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the server control unit 15 will be specifically described.

The server control unit 15 stores various information and programs necessary for processing the game in the server storage unit 14. The information required for processing the game may include the above-mentioned information about the user, information about the game medium which is the opponent, information about the game content, and the like. For example, the process of storing information about a user may include a process of storing each of a plurality of users and information about one or more owned game media in association with each other.

The server control unit 15 transmits and receives information via the server communication unit 13. For example, the server control unit 15 may transmit at least a part of the information stored in the server storage unit 14 to the terminal device 12. In this way, the information stored in the server storage unit 14 and the information stored in the terminal device 12 are shared and synchronized. The timing for sharing and synchronizing the information may include, for example, the timing when new information is stored in the server storage unit 14 and the timing when the information stored in the server storage unit 14 is updated, but is arbitrarily determined. May be good.

The server control unit 15 transmits information necessary for executing the game content to the terminal device 12. For example, the information required to execute the battle content may include, but is not limited to, information about one or more users playing the battle content, information about the game medium that is the opponent, and information about the battle content.

The server control unit 15 executes game processing in cooperation with the terminal device 12. The processing of the game may include the processing of various game contents. For example, the server control unit 15 cooperates with one or more terminal devices 12 to execute the battle content. Details of the operations of the server device 11 and the terminal device 12 that execute the battle content will be described later.

(Configuration of terminal device)
The configuration of the terminal device 12 will be specifically described. As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal device 12 includes a terminal communication unit 17, a terminal storage unit 18, a display unit 19, an input unit 20, and a terminal control unit 21.

The terminal communication unit 17 includes an interface for transmitting and receiving information by communicating with an external device wirelessly or by wire. The terminal communication unit 17 may include, for example, a wireless communication module, a wireless LAN communication module, a wired LAN communication module, or the like corresponding to a mobile communication standard such as LTE (Long Term Evolution) (registered trademark). The terminal communication unit 17 can send and receive information to and from the server device 11 via the network 16.

The terminal storage unit 18 includes, for example, a primary storage device and a secondary storage device. For example, the terminal storage unit 18 may include a semiconductor memory, a magnetic memory, an optical memory, or the like. Stores various information and programs required for game processing received from the server device 11. For example, the terminal storage unit 18 may store a part or all of the above-mentioned information about the user. Part or all of this information is acquired from the server device 11 by, for example, the terminal control unit 21.

The display unit 19 includes a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The display unit 19 can display various screens.

The input unit 20 includes, for example, an input interface including a touch panel provided integrally with the display unit 19. The input unit 20 can accept user input to the terminal device 12. Further, the input unit 20 may include a physical key, or may further include an arbitrary input interface including a pointing device such as a mouse.

The terminal control unit 21 includes at least one of one or more general-purpose processors that realize a specific function by reading a specific program and one or more dedicated processors specialized in a specific process. The terminal control unit 21 controls the operation of the entire terminal device 12. The terminal control unit 21 executes game processing in cooperation with the server device 11. Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the terminal control unit 21 will be specifically described.

The terminal control unit 21 transmits and receives information via the terminal communication unit 17. For example, the terminal control unit 21 receives information necessary for processing the game from the server device 11. The terminal control unit 21 stores the information received from the server device 11 in the terminal storage unit 18.

The terminal control unit 21 starts the game application in response to the user's operation. The terminal control unit 21 executes game processing in cooperation with the server device 11. For example, the terminal control unit 21 causes the display unit 19 to display various screens. For example, a GUI (Graphic User Interface) for detecting a user operation may be displayed on the screen. The terminal control unit 21 can detect a user operation on the screen.

Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the server device 11 and the terminal device 12 that collaborate to execute the processing of the battle content will be specifically described.

(About single play)
The operation of the server device 11 and the terminal device 12 for executing the battle content for single play will be described. The terminal control unit 21 transmits, for example, a request for execution of the battle content to the server device 11 in response to a user operation. When the server control unit 15 receives the execution request from the terminal device 12, the server control unit 15 cooperates with the terminal device 12 to execute the battle content. During execution of the battle content for single play, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the first period 22 and the second period 23 occur alternately. As a general rule, the first period 22 is a period during which the game medium used in the deck can attack the opponent. On the other hand, the second period 23 is a period during which the opponent can attack the user.

The processing in the first period 22 will be described. FIG. 7 shows an example of a single play screen displayed on the terminal device 12 in the first period 22. The single-player screen displays, for example, a part of a two-dimensional virtual space. Specifically, various objects arranged in the virtual space can be displayed on the single play screen. Various objects include, for example, moving objects 24, road surfaces 25, and items 26.

The terminal control unit 21 automatically moves the moving object 24 in the virtual space toward a predetermined direction in the virtual space (for example, to the right of the screen). In the present embodiment, the terminal control unit 21 moves the road surface 25 and the item 26 so as to scroll toward the left side of the screen without changing the position of the moving object 24 in the left-right direction of the screen. In this way, the moving object 24 that automatically moves in the virtual space is represented. The terminal control unit 21 may sequentially make objects such as the road surface 25 and the item 26 appear in the traveling direction of the moving object 24 in the virtual space as the screen scrolls. As will be described later, the terminal control unit 21 may change the algorithm of the process of causing the object to appear during the execution of the battle content.

The moving object 24 can travel on the road surface 25. The terminal control unit 21 may make the road surface 25 appear in the virtual space. The terminal control unit 21 may interrupt the road surface 25 in the first period 22, for example, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, as will be described later, the terminal control unit 21 may control the road surface 25 so as not to be interrupted in the second period 23.

The terminal control unit 21 may make the item 26 appear in the virtual space in the first period 22. On the other hand, as will be described later, the terminal control unit 21 may control the item 26 so as not to appear in the second period 23. When the moving object 24 and the item 26 overlap on the screen, the terminal control unit 21 determines that the item 26 has been acquired. In this embodiment, the item 26 includes an attribute item and a recovery item.

The attribute item corresponds to at least one of the first attributes of the game medium. For example, when an item corresponding to the fire attribute is acquired, the terminal control unit 21 increases the action points of the game medium used for the fire attribute among the game media used for the deck. When the action point of the game medium used becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined reference value, the terminal control unit 21 automatically causes the game medium used to attack the opponent and reduces the HP of the game medium used as the opponent. In addition, the terminal control unit 21 reduces the action points of the game medium used for the attack by the reference value. For example, when the action point of the game medium used is 350 points and the reference value is 100 points, the terminal control unit 21 causes the game medium used to perform an attack a total of three times. Then, the terminal control unit 21 reduces the action points of the game medium used by the reference value (100 points) × 3 times = 300 points. Therefore, after performing the attack three times, the action points of the game medium used are 350 points-300 points = 50 points.

On the other hand, when the recovery item is acquired, the terminal control unit 21 increases the total HP of the user according to the total recovery power of the user.

The terminal control unit 21 causes the moving object 24 to jump, for example, in the upward direction of the screen in response to a user operation on the terminal device 12. For example, the user can prevent the moving object 24 from falling from the road surface 25 by jumping the moving object 24 at a place where the road surface 25 is interrupted. When the moving object 24 falls from the road surface 25, the terminal control unit 21 reduces, for example, the total HP of the user, and then returns the moving object 24 onto the road surface 25. Further, for example, the user can acquire the item 26 by jumping the moving object 24 according to the arrangement of the item 26.

The terminal control unit 21 increases a specific parameter each time an item group including one or more items 26 is acquired. For example, a series of items 26 arranged close to each other in the virtual space may form one item group. In the example shown in FIG. 7, eight items 26 arranged close to each other form one item group. Further, for example, one or more attribute items corresponding to a common first attribute may form one item group. Also, for example, one or more recovery items may form one item group. The terminal control unit 21 may reduce a specific parameter when a predetermined event occurs. The predetermined event includes an event in which the moving object 24 falls from the road surface 25, but may include an arbitrary event such as an event in which the moving object 24 collides with an obstacle arranged in the virtual space.

The terminal control unit 21 may temporarily change the algorithm for causing the object to appear when the specific parameter reaches a predetermined reference value for the first time. For example, the terminal control unit 21 may reduce the number of appearances or the appearance frequency of the places where the road surface 25 is interrupted. The terminal control unit 21 may set the number of appearances or the frequency of appearance of the places where the road surface 25 is interrupted to zero. In such a case, the road surface 25 is controlled so as not to be interrupted. Further, for example, the terminal control unit 21 may increase the number of appearances or the frequency of appearance of the item 26. For example, the terminal control unit 21 may return the algorithm to the state before the change when a predetermined time has elapsed after changing the algorithm as described above. Hereinafter, the state of the user whose algorithm for causing the object to appear is temporarily changed based on the specific parameter as described above is also referred to as a specific state. The terminal control unit 21 does not have to increase the specific parameter when the item group is acquired while the user is in the specific state.

Further, on the single play screen, an image 27 of the game medium which is an opponent, a user HP image 28, an opponent HP image 29, a damage image 30, one or more used game medium images 31, and an opponent. The action point image 32 and the specific parameter 50 of the above can be displayed. An image 27 of the game medium of the opponent, a user HP image 28, an opponent HP image 29, a damage image 30, one or more used game medium images 31, an opponent's action point image 32, and a specific parameter 50, respectively. The displayed position on the screen may be fixedly determined.

The user HP image 28 shows the total HP of the users. For example, the user HP image 28 may be an indicator whose left end indicates an upper limit value and its right end indicates a lower limit value (for example, zero). The terminal control unit 21 may determine that the user is defeated when the total HP of the user decreases to a predetermined value (for example, zero).

Opponent HP image 29 shows the HP of the opponent. For example, the opponent HP image 29 may be an indicator whose right end indicates an upper limit value and whose left end indicates a lower limit value (for example, zero). When the HP of the opponent decreases to a predetermined value (for example, zero), the terminal control unit 21 may determine that the process is a user process.

As described above, when the game medium used attacks the opponent, the terminal control unit 21 displays the damage image 30. The damage image 30 shows the amount of damage given to the game medium that is the opponent. For example, the damage image 30 shown in FIG. 7 shows a damage amount of 7280 points. The terminal control unit 21 reduces the HP of the game medium, which is the opponent, by the amount of damage. When the first attribute (for example, fire attribute) of the game medium used for the attack is advantageous to the first attribute (for example, tree attribute) of the game medium used as the opponent, the terminal control unit 21 is concerned. Information indicating that the game medium used is advantageous to the game medium used as an opponent (for example, the characters "Wake Point" shown in FIG. 7) may be added to and displayed on the damage image 30. For example, the terminal control unit 21 hides the damaged image 30 after a predetermined time has elapsed after displaying the damaged image 30.

The one or more used game media images 31 are provided corresponding to each of the one or more used game media included in the deck. For example, the used game medium image 31 shown in FIG. 7 includes an icon image 31a showing the used game medium, an action point image 31b of the used game medium, and a remaining number of times image 31c.

The icon image 31a showing the game medium used functions as a GUI that accepts a user operation for activating the game function associated with the game medium used when the activation condition corresponding to the game medium used is satisfied. As described above, in the battle content for single play, the single skill associated with each game medium used can be activated. The terminal control unit 21 activates the corresponding single skill according to the user operation for the icon image 31a. The terminal control unit 21 may be able to detect a user operation on the icon image 31a in any of the first period 22 and the second period 23. In such a case, the user can activate the game function at any timing regardless of the first period 22 and the second period 23.

The terminal control unit 21 may prohibit the activation of the second game function having a predetermined relationship with the first game function, for example, when the first game function is effective in the battle content for single play. For example, the second game function may include a game function in which at least one of a user condition, a game medium condition, a target parameter, a rate of change, and a cancellation condition is the same as the first game function. Specifically, the terminal control unit 21 operates the user operation on the icon image 31a of the game medium to be used to which the second game function is associated, even when the activation condition of the second game function is satisfied. Acceptance may be prohibited. For example, the icon image 31a may be displayed in an unusual manner (for example, grayed out).

The action point image 31b shows the action points of the game medium used. For example, the action point image 31b of the game medium used may be an indicator whose left end indicates a lower limit value (for example, zero) and its right end indicates a reference value (for example, 100 points). The indicator may apparently indicate a reference value even when the action point exceeds the reference value.

Remaining number of times The image 31c shows the remaining number of attacks required until the game function associated with the game medium used can be activated. The initial value of the number of remaining attacks is the value indicated in the activation condition included in the information regarding the game function. When the number of remaining attacks reaches a reference value (for example, zero), the terminal control unit 21 replaces the number of remaining attacks with information indicating that the game function can be activated (for example, "Ready" shown in FIG. 7). The characters) may be displayed.

The action point image 32 of the opponent shows the action point of the opponent. For example, the action point image 32 of the opponent may be, for example, an indicator whose left end indicates a lower limit value (for example, zero) and its right end indicates an upper limit value (for example, 100 points). In the first period 22, the terminal control unit 21 increases the action points of the opponent according to the passage of time. The terminal control unit 21 may determine the rate of increase of the action points of the opponent according to the quickness of the game medium which is the opponent. For example, the greater the speed of the game medium that is the opponent, the faster the rate of increase of action points may be.

When the action point of the opponent reaches the upper limit value, the terminal control unit 21 may change the algorithm of the process of causing the object to appear so as to reduce the operation amount of the user who plays the battle content. For example, the terminal control unit 21 may reduce the number of appearances or the appearance frequency of the places where the road surface 25 is interrupted. The terminal control unit 21 may set the number of appearances or the frequency of appearance of the places where the road surface 25 is interrupted to zero. In such a case, the road surface 25 is controlled so as not to be interrupted. Further, for example, the terminal control unit 21 may reduce the number of appearances or the frequency of appearance of the item 26. The terminal control unit 21 may set the number of appearances or the frequency of appearance of the item 26 to zero. In such a case, the item 26 is controlled so as not to appear. Then, when the attack by all the game media used included in the deck is completed, the terminal control unit 21 ends the above-mentioned processing in the first period 22 and starts the processing in the second period 23. As described above, when the action point of the opponent reaches the upper limit value, for example, the number of appearances or the appearance frequency of the item 26 is reduced. Therefore, for example, the probability that an inconvenience such as the attack by the game medium used does not end and the second period 23 does not occur is reduced. Further, since the amount of operation of the game by the user is reduced, it becomes easier for the user to visually recognize the result of the attack by the game medium used.

In one embodiment, there may be a game function that changes the algorithm of the process of making an object appear. When the game function is activated, the terminal control unit 21 may change the algorithm of the process of causing the object to appear so as to reduce the operation amount of the user who plays the battle content. When the game function is disabled, the terminal control unit 21 may return the algorithm of the process of causing the object to appear to the algorithm before the game function is enabled.

The processing in the second period 23 will be described. FIG. 8 shows an example of a single play screen displayed on the terminal device 12 in the second period 23. In the second period 23, the terminal control unit 21 may determine an algorithm for processing to make an object appear so as to reduce the operation amount of the user who plays the battle content. For example, the terminal control unit 21 may reduce or reduce the number or frequency of appearances of the places where the road surface 25 is interrupted to zero. Further, for example, the terminal control unit 21 may reduce or reduce the appearance number or appearance frequency of the item 26 to zero. According to such a configuration, since the amount of operation by the user is reduced in the second period 23, it becomes easier for the user to visually recognize the result of the attack by the game medium which is the opponent.

The terminal control unit 21 automatically attacks the user on the game medium which is the opponent, and displays the damaged image 33. The damaged image 33 shows the amount of damage given to the user. For example, the damaged image 33 shown in FIG. 8 shows the amount of damage of 1226 points. The terminal control unit 21 reduces the total HP of the user by the amount of damage. For example, the terminal control unit 21 hides the damaged image 33 after a predetermined time has elapsed after displaying the damaged image 33. When the attack by the game medium which is the opponent ends, the terminal control unit 21 ends the above-mentioned process in the second period 23 and starts the process in the first period 22.

In this way, the battle content for single play progresses by alternately generating the first period 22 and the second period 23.

(About multiplayer)
The operation of the server device 11 and the two or more terminal devices 12 that execute the battle content for multiplayer will be described. When executing the battle content, the server control unit 15 performs a matching process of determining two or more users who play the battle content from among a plurality of users. Specifically, for example, the terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user A transmits a user group creation request to the server device 11. The user group creation request may include, for example, information indicating the battle content corresponding to the user group selected according to the user operation. Two or more users included in one user group are defined as users who play the battle content corresponding to the user group. Upon receiving the creation request, the server control unit 15 creates a user group A including the user A. In this embodiment, a plurality of user groups may exist at the same time. Also, each user group may include, for example, up to three users. Two or more users included in one user group are defined as users who play common battle contents. Hereinafter, two or more users included in one user group are also referred to as two or more matched users.

Subsequently, the server control unit 15 transmits a display instruction of the matching screen to the terminal device 12 of the user A. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the screen display instruction includes various information necessary for the terminal device 12 to display the screen. The server control unit 15 causes the terminal device 12 of the user A to display the screen by transmitting a screen display instruction. The terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user A displays the matching screen based on the display instruction received from the server device 11. FIG. 9 shows an example of a matching screen displayed on the terminal device 12 of the user A. On the matching screen, information 34 regarding the game content, information 35 regarding each user included in the user group A, a first recruitment button 36, a second recruitment button 37, a message button 38, and a start button 39 are displayed. included.

As the information 34 regarding the game content, for example, the content name, attribute, difficulty level, play cost, and the like of the battle content corresponding to the user group A may be displayed. As the information 35 regarding the user, for example, the user name, the total HP, the total resilience, the total cost of the game medium used in the deck, the icon image of each game medium used, and the like may be displayed.

The first recruitment button 36 is a GUI that accepts a user operation that allows an arbitrary user to participate in the user group A. The terminal control unit 21 transmits the first recruitment request to the server device 11 in response to the user operation on the first recruitment button 36. Upon receiving the first recruitment request from the terminal device 12, the server control unit 15 allows any user to join the user group A. The process of adding a user to a user group will be described later.

The second recruitment button 37 is a GUI that accepts a user operation that allows only the related users of the user A to participate in the user group A. The terminal control unit 21 transmits a second recruitment request to the server device 11 in response to a user operation on the second recruitment button 37. When the server control unit 15 receives the second recruitment request from the terminal device 12, only the related users of the user A are allowed to join the user group A.

The message button 38 is a GUI that accepts a user operation for selecting a message. The terminal control unit 21 makes, for example, selectably display a plurality of predetermined messages according to the user's operation on the message button 38. The terminal control unit 21 transmits information indicating one or more selected messages to the server device 11. The terminal control unit 21 may display the selected message (“message 01” in FIG. 9) on the matching screen.

The start button 39 is a GUI that accepts a user operation for executing the battle content. For example, the terminal control unit 21 may allow the start button 39 to accept the user operation even when the user group A includes only the user A. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 21 may allow the acceptance of the user operation for the start button 39 only when the user group A includes two or more users. In such a case, for example, when the user group A includes only the user A, the terminal control unit 21 prohibits the acceptance of the user operation for the start button 39. The processing according to the user operation for the start button 39 will be described later.

Subsequently, for example, the terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user B transmits the presentation request of the user group to the server device. Upon requesting the presentation of the user group, the terminal control unit 21 may specify the battle content to be played by the user B according to the user operation or automatically. In such cases, the user group presentation request may include information indicating the selected match content. Upon receiving the presentation request, the server control unit 15 selects at least one user group from the one or more user groups based on a predetermined algorithm. For example, the server control unit 15 may preferentially select a user group including a user having a rank close to that of user B among all the user groups related to the above-mentioned first recruitment request. Further, for example, the server control unit 15 may select only the user group including the related user of the user B from all the user groups related to the above-mentioned second recruitment request. When the battle content to be played by the user B is already specified as described above, the server control unit 15 may select only the user group for playing the battle content. The server control unit 15 transmits a display instruction of the group selection screen to the terminal device 12 of the user B. The display instructions may include information about one or more selected user groups. The terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user B displays the group selection screen based on the display instruction received from the server device 11.

FIG. 10 shows an example of a group selection screen displayed on the terminal device 12 of the user B. The group selection screen includes one or more group selection buttons 40, all user tabs 41, related user tabs 42, and filter buttons 43.

Each group selection button 40 is provided corresponding to each user group selected by the server control unit 15. The group selection button 40 is a GUI that accepts a user operation for selecting a corresponding user group. The group selection button 40 may display information about the corresponding user group. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the group selection button 40 has information on the battle content for multiplayer, an icon image of each user participating in the user group, and a participation status in the user group (current number of participants / Maximum number of participants) is displayed. As information about the battle content, for example, the content name, attributes, difficulty level, play cost, and the like may be displayed.

When all user tabs 41 are selected, one or more group selection buttons 40 corresponding to one or more user groups selected from all user groups related to the first recruitment request are displayed as described above. .. On the other hand, when the related user tab 42 is selected, one or more group selection buttons 40 corresponding to one or more user groups selected from all the user groups related to the second recruitment request are displayed as described above. Will be done. The terminal control unit 21 switches the selected tab according to the user operation for all user tabs 41 or related user tabs 42.

The filter button 43 is a GUI that accepts a user operation that filters one or more user groups selected by the server device 11 based on filter conditions. The terminal control unit 21 displays the filter screen in response to a user operation on the filter button 43. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the terminal control unit 21 may display the filter screen by superimposing it on the group selection screen. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the filter screen may include a message button 44, a condition button 45, and an execute button 46.

Each message button 44 is provided, for example, corresponding to each message that can be selected via the message selection button included in the matching screen described above. The message button 44 is a GUI that accepts a user operation for adding a corresponding message to the filter condition. The terminal control unit 21 adds the corresponding message to the filter condition according to the user operation for the message button 44. Multiple messages may be added to the filter condition.

The condition button 45 is provided according to the content condition. The content condition may include, for example, a condition for designating the content name, attribute, difficulty level, play cost, and the like of the battle content. The condition button 45 is a GUI that accepts a user operation for adding the corresponding content condition to the filter condition. The terminal control unit 21 adds the corresponding content condition to the filter condition according to the user operation corresponding to the condition button 45. Multiple content conditions may be added to the filter condition. As described above, the terminal control unit 21 may prohibit the acceptance of the user operation on the condition button 45 when the battle content to be played by the user B has already been specified. For example, the condition button 45 may be displayed in an unusual manner (for example, grayed out), or the condition button 45 may be hidden.

The execution button 46 is a GUI that accepts a user operation for executing filtering. The terminal control unit 21 transmits the filter condition to the server device 11 in response to the user operation on the execution button 46. The server control unit 15 newly selects one or more user groups that match the received filter conditions. The server control unit 15 transmits a display instruction of the group selection screen to the terminal device 12 of the user B. The display instructions may include information about one or more newly selected user groups. The terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user B switches the display from the filter screen to the group selection screen based on the display instruction received from the server device 11. The group selection screen includes one or more group selection buttons 40 corresponding to one or more user groups that match the filter conditions.

The terminal control unit 21 transmits a request for joining the corresponding user group to the server device 11 in response to a user operation on the group selection button 40 included in the group selection screen. The server control unit 15 adds the user B to the user group indicated in the participation request. The server control unit 15 may transmit a screen display instruction similar to the matching screen shown in FIG. 9 to the terminal device 12 of the user B. The similar screen may not include, for example, the first recruitment button 36, the second recruitment button 37, the message selection button, and the start button 39 of the matching screen shown in FIG.

When the server control unit 15 receives an exclusion request from the user group from the terminal device 12 of the user included in the user group, the server control unit 15 may exclude the user from the user group. The addition of a user to the user group and the exclusion of the user from the user group may be executed at any time until the game part for the user group to play is started.

As described above, by adding the second and subsequent users to one user group, two or more users included in one user group are matched with each other. Here, the case where the user A, the user B, and the user C are matched will be described. The terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user A transmits a request for execution of the battle content to the server device 11 in response to a user operation for the start button 39 included in the matching screen shown in FIG. Upon receiving the execution request, the server control unit 15 cooperates with the terminal devices 12 of the users A and C to execute the battle content corresponding to the user group A.

Each of the users A and C individually plays the battle content for multiplayer in the same manner as the battle content for single play described above. The difference from the battle content for single play will be described below.

The first difference will be described. In the battle content for multiplayer, the HP of the game medium that is the opponent is synchronized between the terminal devices 12 of the users AC. For example, the terminal control unit 21 of each terminal device 12 may transmit information indicating the amount of damage given to the game medium, which is an opponent, to the terminal device 12 of another user via the server device 11. With such a configuration, it is expressed that each user A to C is playing the battle content individually while playing against a common opponent.

The second difference will be described. In the battle content for multiplayer, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, a third period 47 may occur in addition to the first period 22 and the second period 23 described above. As described above, the first period 22 ends when the attack by all the game media used in the deck ends after the opponent's action points reach the upper limit. However, in the battle content for multiplayer, the length of the first period 22 may differ for each user. For example, in the first period 22, when the user A acquires more attribute items than the users B and C, the number of attacks by the game medium used by the user A increases as compared with the users B and C. In such a case, the first period 22 of the user A can be long. When there is a difference in the length of the first period 22 between users, a third period 47 may occur between the first period 22 and the second period 23. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

The terminal control unit 21 of each terminal device 12 transmits the start timing and the end timing of each period to the other terminal device 12 via the server device 11. With such a configuration, each terminal device 12 can determine the start timing and the end timing of each period of another user.

The operation of each terminal device 12 will be described with reference to FIG. When the first period 22 of the user of the own device ends, the terminal control unit 21 of each terminal device 12 sets the end timing of the first period 22 and the end timing of the first period 22 of another user. compare.

For example, the terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user A has already completed both the first period 22 of the user B and the first period 22 of the user C at the end timing t4 of the first period 22 of the user A. Judge that there is. In such a case, the terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user A starts the process in the second period 23 after the end of the first period 22.

Further, for example, the terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user B ends the first period 22 of at least one other user (here, the user A) at the end timing t3 of the first period 22 of the user B. Judge that it is not done. In such a case, the terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user B performs the processing in the third period 47, which will be described later, from the end of the first period 22 of the user B to the earlier timing of the first timing and the second timing. Run. The first timing is the timing at which the first period 22 of all other users (here, users A and C) has ended. The second timing is a timing at which a predetermined time elapses from the end timing of the first period 22 of the user B. The predetermined time may be arbitrarily set. Here, the terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user B executes the process in the third period 47 after the end of the first period 22 of the user B until the end timing t4 of the first period 22 of the user A. The terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user B ends the processing of the third period 47 at the timing t4, and starts the processing of the second period 23.

The processing in the third period 47 will be described. The terminal control unit 21 may control the road surface 25 so as not to be interrupted in the third period 47. The terminal control unit 21 may control the item 26 so as not to appear in the third period 47. The terminal control unit 21 reserves the execution of the attack by the game medium which is the opponent in the third period 47. When the third period 47 ends, the terminal control unit 21 starts the process in the second period 23. As described above, the difference in the start timing of the second period 23 between the users can be reduced by the third period 47 generated between the first period 22 and the second period 23. By reducing the difference in the start timing of the second period 23, the real-time property of the battle content for multiplayer is improved, and the fun of the game is improved.

Further, for example, the terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user C has a first period 22 of at least one other user (here, users A and B) at the end timing t1 of the first period 22 of the user C. Is not finished. In such a case, the terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user C executes the process in the third period 47 after the end of the first period 22 of the user C until the earlier of the first timing and the second timing. .. Here, the terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user C executes the process in the third period 47 until the timing t2 when the predetermined time elapses after the end of the first period 22 of the user C. The terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user C ends the processing of the third period 47 at the timing t2, and starts the processing of the second period 23.

As described above, in the present embodiment, by generating the third period 47 between the first period 22 and the second period 23, the difference in the start timing of the second period 23 between the users is reduced. However, the third period 47 may be generated between the second period 23 and the next first period 22 that occurs after the second period 23. Alternatively, the second period 23 may be lengthened, for example, by extending the screen effect in the second period 23. In such a case, the difference in the start timing of the next first period 22 that occurs after the end of the second period 23 is reduced between the users. By reducing the difference in the start timing of the first period 22, the real-time property of the battle content for multiplayer is improved, and the fun of the game is improved.

The third difference will be described. In the battle content for multiplayer, the terminal control unit 21 transmits a request for activating the game function associated with the game medium used (activation request) to the server device 11. The server control unit 15 cooperates with the terminal device 12 of each user included in the user group to enable the game function in the battle content. Specifically, the server control unit 15 transmits information about the game function to the terminal device 12 of at least one user included in the user group. The terminal control unit 21 of each terminal device 12 activates the game function based on the information about the game function.

As mentioned above, multiple game functions can be effective at the same time. With reference to FIG. 18, control of the first game function and the second game function among the plurality of effective game functions will be described. In the example shown in FIG. 18, the first game function is enabled at the timing t11, and then the second game function is enabled at the timing t12. Further, the first game function is invalidated at the timing t13 after the timing t12, and then the second game function is invalidated at the timing t14. Therefore, only the first game function is effective in the period P from the timing t11 to the timing t12. In the period Q from the timing t12 to the timing t13, both the first game function and the second game function are effective. In the period R from the timing t13 to the timing t14, only the second game function is effective.

As described above, when the game function is effective, the game function can be exerted. For example, the server control unit 15 can exert only the first game function in the period P from the timing t11 to the timing t12. The server control unit 15 can exert only the second game function in the period R from the timing t13 to the timing t14. On the other hand, the server control unit 15 can exert at least one of the first game function and the second game function in the period Q from the timing t12 to the timing t13. The details of the process for exerting at least one of the effective first game function and the second game function will be described later.

The fourth difference will be described. In the battle content for multiplayer, the multiplayer screen is displayed on each terminal device 12 instead of the single play screen. FIG. 13 shows an example of a multiplayer screen displayed on the terminal device 12 of the user A in the first period 22. The difference from the single play screen will be described below.

On the multiplayer screen, three user HP images 28a-28c and three specific parameters 50a-50c corresponding to each of the users AC are displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, each of the three user HP images 28a-28c and the three specific parameters may be displayed smaller than the user HP image 28 and the specific parameters 50 displayed on the single play screen.

On the multiplayer screen, three damage images 30a-30c corresponding to each of the users A and C may be displayed. The display position of the damaged image 30a-30c may be fixedly determined according to the corresponding user. For example, the three damage images 30a-30c shown in FIG. 13 correspond to the user A, the user B, and the user C from the top, respectively. The damage-damaged images 30a-30c on the multiplayer screen may be displayed smaller than the damage-damaged images 30 on the single-player screen. For example, instead of the character "Wake Point" shown in FIG. 7, the character "!" May be displayed after the numerical value indicating the amount of damage. Further, for example, each of the three user HP images 28a-28c may include an icon image of one game medium used, which is included in the deck of the corresponding user.

When the game function is activated by any user, the notification image 48 indicating that the game function is activated by the user may be displayed on the multiplayer screen. For example, the notification image 48 shown in FIG. 13 shows that the game function has been activated by the user B.

When any user is in a state where the game function can be enabled, a notification image 51 indicating that the user is in that state may be displayed on the multiplayer screen. For example, the notification image 51 shown in FIG. 13 indicates that the user C is in a state where the game function can be activated.

When any user is in the above-mentioned specific state, the notification image 52 indicating that the user is in the specific state may be displayed on the multiplayer screen. For example, the notification image 52 shown in FIG. 13 indicates that the user C is in a specific state.

An icon image 49 corresponding to a valid game function may be displayed on the multiplayer screen. The icon image 49 may have different display modes such as color, shape, and size, depending on the corresponding game function.

The chat button 53 may be displayed on the multiplayer screen. The chat button 53 is a GUI that accepts user operations for communicating with other users in the user group. For example, the terminal control unit 21 may display one or more predetermined messages in a selectable manner according to the user operation on the chat button 53. Alternatively, the terminal control unit may accept the input of a message by the user in response to the user operation on the chat button 53. The message may include at least one of text and an image. The terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of the user A transmits the selected message to the server device 11. The server control unit 15 transmits the message received from the terminal device 12 of the user A to the terminal devices 12 of the users B and C, respectively. The terminal control unit 21 of the terminal device 12 of each of the users B and C displays the received message on the multiplayer screen. According to such a configuration, the user can communicate with other users by operating the chat button 53.

With reference to FIG. 14, the operation of the server device 11 that executes the matching process and the battle content for multiplayer will be described.

Step S100: The server control unit 15 stores information about a plurality of users in the server storage unit 14.

Step S101: The server control unit 15 receives, for example, a user group creation request from the terminal device 12 of the user A.

Step S102: The server control unit 15 creates a user group including the user A.

Step S103: The server control unit 15 receives, for example, a request for participation in the user group from the terminal devices 12 of the users B and C, respectively.

Step S104: The server control unit 15 adds users B and C to the user group.

Step S105: The server control unit 15 receives an execution request for the battle content from, for example, the terminal device 12 of the user A.

Step S106: The server control unit 15 cooperates with the terminal device 12 of the user AC to execute the battle content.

Step S107: The server control unit 15 cancels the user group when the battle content is completed.

With reference to FIG. 15, the operation of the game system 10 that enables the game function in the battle content for multiplayer will be described. Here, a case where users A, B, and C play the battle content for the multiplayer will be illustrated.

Step S200: For example, the terminal device 12 of the user A detects a user operation on the icon image 31a indicating the game medium used on the multiplayer screen displayed on the own device. Here, the game function associated with the game medium used will be described as a function that affects the users A and B.

Step S201: The terminal device 12 of the user A activates the game function associated with the game medium used in its own device.

Step S202: The terminal device 12 of the user A transmits to the server device 11 a notification that the game function has been activated in the own device and a request for enabling the game function to the terminal device 12 of the user B.

Step S203: The server device 11 transmits a notification that the game function has been activated in the terminal device 12 of the user A to the terminal device 12 of the user C.

Step S204: The server device 11 notifies the terminal device 12 of the user A that the game function has been activated, and instructs the terminal device 12 of the user B to activate the game function. Send to 12.

Step S205: The terminal device 12 of the user B activates the game function in its own device in response to the activation instruction received from the server device 11.

In this way, the game function that affects users A and B is activated in each of the terminal devices 12 of users A and B.

With reference to FIG. 16, the operation of the terminal device 12 that controls the game function effective in the own device during the execution of the battle content for multiplayer will be described. Here, a case where one or more game functions are effective will be illustrated.

Step S300: The terminal control unit 21 detects the occurrence of a predetermined event. The event may include, for example, an event in which the game medium used attacks.

Step S301: The terminal control unit 21 determines whether one game function is effective or a plurality of game functions are effective when the event in step S300 occurs. If it is determined that one game function is valid (step S301-Yes), the process proceeds to step S302. On the other hand, if it is determined that the plurality of game functions are valid (step S301-No), the process proceeds to step S303.

Step S302: When one game function is effective, the terminal control unit 21 exerts the one game function.

Step S303: When a plurality of game functions are effective, the terminal control unit 21 controls the plurality of game functions as described later.

With reference to FIG. 17, the operation of the terminal device 12 that controls a plurality of effective game functions will be described. Here, an operation when two game functions of the first game function and the second game function are effective and an event occurs in which one game medium used attacks is illustrated.

Step S400: Whether or not both the first game function and the second game function affect a plurality of users (for example, the user condition of each game function is "plurality" or not. Whether or not it is "everyone") is determined. If it is determined that each game function is a function that affects a plurality of users (step S400-Yes), the process proceeds to step S401. On the other hand, if it is determined that at least one game function is not a function that affects a plurality of users (step S400-No), the process proceeds to step S404.

Step S401: Whether or not both the first game function and the second game function are functions that change parameters of the same type in the terminal control unit 21 (for example, the game medium conditions of each game function are the same). Whether or not) is determined. If it is determined that each game function is a function that changes the same type of parameters (step S401-Yes), the process proceeds to step S402. On the other hand, if it is determined that each game function is a function that changes different types of parameters (step S401-No), the process proceeds to step S405.

Step S402: The terminal control unit 21 determines that the combination of the first game function and the second game function satisfies the second condition.

Step S403: When it is determined that the second condition is satisfied, the terminal control unit 21 exerts either the first game function or the second game function. For example, the terminal control unit 21 may exert either one of the first game function and the second game function, which has a large change amount or a large change rate of the same type of parameter in step S401. Then the process ends.

Step S404: Whether or not both the first game function and the second game function affect one user (for example, the user condition of each game function is "principal"). Whether or not there is) is determined. If it is determined that each game function is a function that affects one user (step S404-Yes), the process proceeds to step S401. On the other hand, if it is determined that at least one game function is not a function that affects one user (step S404-No), the process proceeds to step S405.

Step S405: The terminal control unit 21 determines that the combination of the first game function and the second game function satisfies the first condition.

Step S406: When it is determined that the first condition is satisfied, the terminal control unit 21 exerts both the first game function and the second game function. Then the process ends.

For example, step S401 described above may be omitted.

The control result of the first game function and the second game function will be described with reference to a specific example of the combination of the first game function and the second game function. Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 18, it is assumed that the first game function is activated first, and then the second game function is activated.

In the first specific example, each of the first game function and the second game function has a user condition of "everyone", a game medium condition of "fire attribute", a target parameter of "attack power", and a cancellation condition of "three times". ". While the rate of change of the first game function is "2.5 times", the rate of change of the second game machine method is "2 times". In such a case, when an event that the game medium using the fire attribute attacks occurs, the terminal control unit 21 determines, for example, "Yes" in step S401 described above, and gives priority to the first game function having a large change rate in step S403. Demonstrate in. In such a case, the terminal control unit 21 causes the used game medium to execute an attack with the attack power of the used game medium multiplied by 2.5.

When the release conditions of the first game function and the second game function each indicate "number of times" as in the first specific example, the terminal control unit 21 compares the release conditions with the exhibited first game function. You may increment the number of attacks used. On the other hand, the terminal control unit 21 may stop incrementing the number of attacks used for comparison with the release condition of the second game function that has not been exhibited. According to such a configuration, for example, when the game medium used makes a total of 6 attacks, the attack power of the 3 attacks executed first is increased by 2.5 times by demonstrating the first game function. On the other hand, for the three attacks executed later, the attack power is doubled by demonstrating the second game function. As described above, when the second game function is effective but not exhibited, the number of attacks used for comparison with the cancellation condition of the second game function does not increase. Therefore, for example, the occurrence of problems such as being invalidated without the second game function being exhibited is reduced.

In the second specific example, the user condition is "everyone", the game medium condition is "fire attribute", and the target parameter is "attack power" in each of the first game function and the second game function. In the first game function, the rate of change is "1.5 times" and the release condition is "10 seconds". In the second game function, the rate of change is "double" and the cancellation condition is "three times". In such a case, when an event that the game medium using the fire attribute attacks occurs, the terminal control unit 21 determines, for example, "Yes" in step S401 described above, and gives priority to the second game function having a large change rate in step S403. Demonstrate in. In such a case, the terminal control unit 21 causes the used game medium to execute an attack with the attack power of the used game medium doubled.

When the release condition of the first game function indicates "time" and the release condition of the second game function indicates "number of times" as in the second specific example, the terminal control unit 21 indicates the second game exhibited. The number of attacks used for comparison with the function cancellation condition may be incremented. The terminal control unit 21 is used for comparison with the cancellation condition of the first game function that is not exhibited, for example, the measurement of the elapsed time from the activation timing of the first game function is invalidated by the second game function. You may stop until. In this way, if the first game function is enabled but not exerted, the elapsed time used for comparison with the cancellation condition of the first game function increases while the second game function is preferentially exerted. do not. Therefore, for example, the occurrence of problems such as being invalidated without the first game function being exhibited is reduced.

In the third specific example, each of the first game function and the second game function has a game medium condition of "fire attribute", a target parameter of "attack power", and a release condition of "three times". In the first game function, the user condition is "the person" and the rate of change is "2.5 times". In the second game function, the user condition is "everyone" and the rate of change is "double". In such a case, when an event that the game medium using the fire attribute attacks occurs, the terminal control unit 21 determines, for example, "No" in step S404 described above, and in step S407, both the first game function and the second game function. Demonstrate. In such a case, the terminal control unit 21 causes the used game medium to execute an attack in a state where the attack power of the used game medium is 2.5 times × 2 times = 5 times.

In the fourth specific example, each of the first game function and the second game function has a user condition of "everyone", a target parameter of "attack power", and a cancellation condition of "three times". In the first game function, the game medium condition is "balance attribute" and the rate of change is "2.5 times". In the second game function, the game medium condition is "fire attribute" and the rate of change is "double". In such a case, when an event that the game medium used attacks occurs, the terminal control unit 21 controls the first game function and the second game function according to the attributes of the game medium used. For example, the terminal control unit 21 exerts only the first game function when the game medium used to attack has a "balance attribute" and does not have a "fire attribute". In such a case, the terminal control unit 21 causes the used game medium to execute an attack with the attack power of the used game medium multiplied by 2.5. Further, for example, when the game medium used to attack has a "fire attribute" and does not have a "balance attribute", the terminal control unit 21 exerts only the second game function. In such a case, the terminal control unit 21 causes the used game medium to execute an attack with the attack power of the used game medium doubled. Further, for example, when the game medium used for the attack has both the "fire attribute" and the "balance attribute", the terminal control unit 21 determines, for example, "Yes" in step S401 described above, and the rate of change is changed in step S403. Give priority to the large first game function. In such a case, the terminal control unit 21 causes the used game medium to execute an attack with the attack power of the used game medium multiplied by 2.5.

As described above, when both the first game function and the second game function are effective, the server device 11 according to the present embodiment has a first game function according to the combination of the first game function and the second game function. It exerts at least one of the 1-game function and the 2nd game function. According to such a configuration, it becomes easy to adjust the game balance in multiplayer as described below.

In the battle content for single play, one user plays the battle content. Therefore, for example, when the game provider adjusts the game balance of the competitive content for single play, it is sufficient to consider the deck configuration that can be created by one user. For example, a game provider may adjust the game balance of competitive content for single player, taking into account the synergistic effects of the game features of up to five game media used that may be contained in one user's deck.

On the other hand, in the battle content for multiplayer, two or more users play the battle content. Therefore, for example, when a game provider adjusts the game balance of competitive content for multiplayer, it is necessary to consider a deck configuration that can be created by two or more users. In particular, compared to single-player, multiplayer has a wider variety of combinations of game functions that can be enabled during the execution of competitive content. Therefore, the game balance adjustment work can be complicated.

On the other hand, according to the server device 11 according to the present embodiment, when a plurality of game functions are effective, the game functions to be exhibited are provided according to the combination of the first game function and the second game function. It is controlled automatically. Therefore, for example, it becomes easy to adjust the game balance in multiplayer while maintaining the variety of combinations of game functions in multiplayer.

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 modifications and modifications based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and modifications are within the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined or divided into one. ..

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the terminal device 12 may execute a part or all of the operations and processes executed by the server device 11. Similarly, the server device 11 may execute a part of the operations executed by the terminal device 12. For example, processing such as display control of various screens displayed on the terminal device 12 and control of various GUIs may be executed by either the server device 11 or the terminal device 12, and the server device 11 and the terminal device 12 may execute the processes. It may be carried out in collaboration. Alternatively, the game system 10 does not have to include the server device 11. In such a case, the terminal device 12 may store in advance the information received from the server device 11 in the above-described embodiment.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, at least a part of the screen displayed on the terminal device 12 is displayed on the terminal device 12 based on the data generated by the server device 11, and at least a part of the screen is displayed on the terminal. It may be a native display displayed by a native application installed in the device 12. As described above, the game according to the above-described embodiment may be a hybrid game in which the server device 11 and the terminal device 12 each play a part in the 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 device such as a computer or a mobile phone can be preferably used. In such an information processing device, a program describing processing contents for realizing each function of the server device 11 or the terminal device 12 according to the embodiment is stored in the storage unit of the information processing device, and the CPU of the information processing device determines the program. This can be achieved by reading and executing the program.
