Description

The present invention relates to a program and a recording medium.

For example, in a game such as a role-playing game (hereinafter referred to as RPG), the player can play the game by giving instructions to the character in the game, making the character perform actions, and using items in the game. Let it proceed. In conventional games, upper limits have been set on the number of characters and items that a player can possess (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Patent No. 5577427

Patent Document 1 describes that an upper limit is set on the number of characters that a player can own, and that the characters that the player has given up on are converted into points, which are used to change the parameters of the owned characters. .

Patent Document 1 also has a problem in that a player whose number of characters has reached the upper limit cannot acquire a new character unless he gives up the character he previously owned. Increasing the upper limit on the number of characters that a player can possess is due to the fact that the amount of data set for each character is larger than the amount of data set for each item, and the amount of data set for each character is larger than the amount of data set for each item. This cannot be done easily because of the increase in Furthermore, even if it is an item, if the amount of data is large, there may be an upper limit on the number of items that can be possessed. Furthermore, increasing the upper limit on the number of characters that a player can possess by reducing the amount of data set for each character may reduce the diversity of characters and make it difficult to perform various game processes.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to substantially increase the number of game elements such as characters and items that have upper limits on possession while maintaining a variety of game processes.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the program according to claim 1 of the present application enables a computer to operate a first game element that performs an action in the game according to the player's instructions, and a second game element that is used in the game according to the player's instructions. a game element; a first type of data that is commonly set for the first and second game elements; and a second type of data that is set for either one of the first and second game elements. a management means that receives an instruction from the player to mutually convert the first and second game elements, discards the second type of data, and converts the first type of game element with a value based on the first type of data; It is characterized by functioning as mutual conversion means for mutually converting the second game element and the second game element.

According to the present invention, it is possible to substantially increase the number of game elements that have an upper limit while maintaining a variety of game processes.

<Overview of mutual conversion process between characters and items>
Here, mutual conversion processing between characters and items in the game of this embodiment will be explained. A pet in the game of this embodiment is an example of a character. Furthermore, the egg in the game of this embodiment is an example of an item. In the game of this embodiment, the player can use an egg to transform an egg, which is an item, into a pet, which is a character. The player can also return a pet character to an egg item.

Note that the eggs have the original function of an item that changes the parameters of the item or character that is the destination of the combination by compositing the eggs with each other or with a character.

FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram showing an example of egg parameters. The egg parameters shown in FIG. 4 include the pet type, pet name, level, egg individual value, and composite addition individual value. The pet type included in the egg's parameters represents the type of pet that changes from the egg by using the egg. The pet name represents the name of the pet that changes from Egg. The level represents the level of the pet that changes from the egg.

The egg individual value included in the egg parameters is the individual value of the pet that changes from the egg, and the pet's rarity, level upper limit, attribute, personality, etc. are set. The rarity of a pet is a parameter that represents the value of the pet, such as rarity or difficulty in obtaining it. The level cap is the upper limit of the pet's level that changes from the egg. Attribute represents the pet's attribute that changes from the egg. Personality represents the pet's personality that changes from the egg. Further, the combined additional individual value is a bonus value obtained by combining an item such as an egg, and includes a HP plus value, a striking power plus value, a shooting power plus value, a legal striking power plus value, etc. The composite addition individual value represents a value that is added to the pet's ability value, which will be described later.

Since the strengthened pet can be returned to the egg, the parameters of the egg in Figure 4 include the level raised when it was a pet, the composite added individual value which is the bonus value obtained when it was a pet, etc. Contains parameters that reflect the content of the enhancement.

FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram showing an example of pet parameters. The pet parameters shown in FIG. 5 include the pet type, pet name, experience value, level, ability value, egg individual value, composite additional individual value, and item additional individual value. The pet parameters in FIG. 5 are the egg parameters in FIG. 4 plus experience values, ability values, and item-added individual values.

Experience points are the experience points your pet has gained, and their level increases when they reach the required experience points. By using eggs as materials and synthesizing them into a pet, the player can have that pet gain experience points. Furthermore, since eggs have a rarity that depends on the pet after using them, the experience points that can be obtained when synthesized as materials can be varied depending on the rarity.

The ability value is the value of the pet's base parameter according to the pet's level. The ability values of the pet shown in FIG. 5 include HP, striking power, shooting power, legal attack power, strike defense, shooting defense, legal attack defense, attribute values, and the like. Further, the item addition individual value represents the ID of an item, such as an item equipped to a pet, whose value is added to the ability value of the pet.

In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the number of pet parameter items shown in FIG. 5 is greater than the number of egg parameter items shown in FIG. 4 to realize pet diversity.

Furthermore, in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, the data length of the egg parameters is reduced by making the egg parameter items shown in FIG. 4 smaller than the pet parameter items shown in FIG. The data length is set so that it can be handled as However, in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the details of the reinforcement that the player has performed on the pet are left as parameters of the egg, so the reinforcement performed on the pet is wasted. No.

In this embodiment, mutual conversion processing between pets and eggs will be explained as an example, but the process is not limited to pets and eggs. For example, the mutual conversion process between a pet and an egg according to this embodiment is applicable to the mutual conversion process between a character and an item other than a pet and an egg.

<Processing>
《Conversion process from egg to pet》
In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a conversion process from an egg to a pet is executed. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of an example of an egg to pet conversion process. The conversion process from an egg to a pet is started, for example, when a player issues an instruction to use an egg in a game. Note that when using an egg, a predetermined amount of in-game currency may be consumed.

The operation reception unit 50 of the client terminal 2 receives an instruction to use an egg from the player. When the operation reception unit 50 receives an instruction to use an egg from the player, the control unit 60 starts the process of converting the egg into a pet. In step S1, the item management section 62 of the control section 60 reads the parameters of the egg designated by the player from the storage section 70.

Proceeding to step S2, the mutual conversion processing unit 63 of the control unit 60 performs a process of making the egg parameter items in FIG. 4 correspond to the pet parameter items in FIG. 5. Specifically, the mutual conversion processing unit 63 adds the items of experience value, ability value, and item additional individual value to the egg parameter items shown in FIG. 4, and makes them correspond to the pet parameter items shown in FIG. 5. .

In step S3, the mutual conversion processing unit 63 sets the ability value according to the level in the pet parameter item of FIG. 5. Note that the ability value corresponding to the level of the pet is stored, for example, in the storage unit 70 or in the storage unit 30 of the game server device 3.

Proceeding to step S4, the mutual conversion processing unit 63 performs a process of setting an item addition individual value based on, for example, an item equipped to a pet. Note that the process in step S4 may be performed at the timing when an instruction from the player (for example, an instruction to strengthen a pet by equipping an item) is received.

Then, in step S5, the character management section 61 of the control section 60 performs a process of adding the pet parameters converted from the egg parameters by the mutual conversion processing section 63 to the storage section 70.

In this way, in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, when converting an egg, which is an example of an item, into a pet, which is an example of a character, a parameter item is added and used as a parameter of the pet. You can maintain diversity.

《Conversion process from pet to egg》
In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a conversion process from a pet to an egg is executed. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of an example of a process for converting a pet into an egg. The process of converting a pet into an egg is started, for example, when the player issues an instruction to convert a pet into an egg. Note that a predetermined amount of in-game currency may be consumed when converting into eggs.

The operation reception unit 50 of the client terminal 2 receives an instruction from the player to convert a pet into an egg. When the operation reception unit 50 receives an instruction from the player to convert a pet into an egg, the control unit 60 starts the process of converting the pet into an egg.

In step S11, the character management section 61 of the control section 60 reads from the storage section 70 the parameters of the pet that the player has instructed to convert into an egg. Proceeding to step S12, the mutual conversion processing section 63 of the control section 60 performs a process of making the pet parameter items shown in FIG. 5 correspond to the egg parameter items shown in FIG. Specifically, the mutual conversion processing unit 63 deletes the items of experience value, ability value, and item addition individual value from the pet parameter items shown in FIG. 5, and makes them correspond to the egg parameter items shown in FIG. 4. .

Then, in step S13, the item management section 62 of the control section 60 performs a process of adding the egg parameters converted from the pet parameters by the mutual conversion processing section 63 to the storage section 70.

In this way, in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, a pet, which is an example of a character, can be converted into an egg, which is an example of an item. By converting into Eggs, you will be able to own a new pet without giving up your strengthened pet.

In addition, in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, at least some of the parameter items that change depending on the player's reinforcement are shared between the pet and the egg so that the reinforcement performed by the player on the pet is not wasted. There is. Therefore, in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, even if the pet is converted into an egg (even if the pet is returned to an egg), the reinforcement performed by the player on the pet is not wasted. Note that the parameters that are shared between pets and eggs only need to be converted to values based on the original values during mutual conversion. (including adding or subtracting a predetermined value).

《Pet Strengthening》
In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, as a mechanism for strengthening a pet, strengthening by raising the level of the pet and strengthening by equipping (equipping) an item to the pet will be explained as examples.

For example, in the information processing system 1 in this embodiment, reinforcement processing is performed based on the level of the pet, as shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of an example of reinforcement processing based on the pet level of the information processing system according to the present embodiment. Here, we will explain an example in which the pet gains experience points by synthesizing the egg with the material. Please note that eggs synthesized as materials are consumed.

In step S21, the character management unit 61 receives a selection of a pet to be strengthened from the player. Further, the process proceeds to step S22, and the item management section 62 receives from the player the selection of an egg to be synthesized as a material for the pet.

Proceeding to step S23, the item management section 62 acquires the parameters of the egg selected by the player as a material from the storage section 70. The item management unit 62 obtains experience values corresponding to the eggs to be synthesized from, for example, a table. The experience value corresponding to the egg to be synthesized is, for example, the experience value according to the rarity included in the parameters of the egg to be synthesized. Experience points according to rarity are set in advance on a table or the like. Then, the character management unit 61 adds the experience value corresponding to the egg to be synthesized to the experience value included in the pet's parameters.

Proceeding to step S24, the character management unit 61 determines whether the pet's experience value after addition has reached the experience value (required experience value) required for the next level up. If the required experience value has been reached, the character management unit 61 performs the process of step S25.

In step S25, the character management unit 61 increases the ability value of the pet's parameter as shown in FIG. 5, for example, in accordance with the increased level. After the processing in step S25, the character management unit 61 proceeds to step S26. Furthermore, if the required experience value has not been reached, the character management section 61 skips the process of step S25 and proceeds to step S26.

In step S26, if the parameter of the egg to be synthesized has a composite additional individual value that is a bonus value, the character management unit 61 proceeds to step S27, and adds the composite additional individual value of the egg to the composite additional individual value of the pet. , transfer the composite addition individual value from the egg to the pet. Note that if the parameter of the egg to be synthesized does not have a synthesis addition individual value, the character management unit 61 skips the process of step S27.

In the strengthening process based on the level of the pet shown in FIG. 8, the composite additional individual value of the egg consumed as a material can be added to the composite additional individual value of the parameter of the pet to be strengthened. In this way, the composite added individual value is added by consuming eggs. The composite addition individual value shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is an example of a parameter item that changes in conjunction with the consumption of an item called an egg.

Further, in the strengthening process based on the pet level shown in FIG. 8, the ability values of the pet parameters shown in FIG. 5 are increased in accordance with the increased level. In this way, the ability value of the pet's parameter is based on the level it has increased, and since it can be calculated from the level, it has been deleted from the egg's parameter item.

Further, for example, in the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, an example will be described in which reinforcement processing is performed by equipping a pet with an item, as shown in FIG. 9, for example. FIG. 9 is an image diagram of an example of a screen for strengthening a pet with an item of the information processing system according to the present embodiment. Here, an example will be described in which the item addition individual value of the pet is added by equipping the pet with an item. Please note that items equipped to pets are not consumed and can be removed.

Screen 1000 in FIG. 9 has grid-like fields 1001. Screen 1000 in FIG. The screen 1000 also has a list 1002 of items that can be equipped to the pet. Note that in the screen 1000 of FIG. 9, items that can be placed in the field 1001 are expressed in the form of sweets such as cakes, pies, or chocolates, and are called candy. By placing candy selected from the item list 1002 in the field 1001, the player can strengthen the pet with the item added individual value corresponding to the placed candy. In the example of FIG. 9, since the candies have different sizes and shapes, it is possible to add puzzle game-like fun to the pet strengthening process.

In the strengthening process by equipping the pet with an item in FIG. 9, the item addition individual value corresponding to the equipped item can be added to the item addition individual value of the parameter of the pet to be strengthened. In this way, the item additional individual value is added by equipping the item without consuming the item. The item addition individual value in FIG. 5 is an example of a parameter item that changes in conjunction with the use of the item.
[Second embodiment]
In the above embodiment, by performing mutual conversion processing between characters and items, it is possible to substantially increase the number of game elements such as characters and items that you own, but it is possible to substantially increase the number of game elements such as characters and items that you own. Then, when an event (such as a gacha) occurs in which there is a possibility of obtaining the character that was let go, the probability of acquiring the character that was let go may be set to be high.

However, the number of characters that have been let go in the past will gradually increase as the game progresses, and not all characters have been let go due to unavoidable circumstances. ) may be selectively stored, and the lottery probability at which a character to which this information is set is selected may be changed in the event.

Although this information may be set by the player's operating instructions, it can be programmed based on conditions such as the number of characters owned at the time of letting go, the progress of the game, and the type of character to be let go (e.g. rarity and growth level). It may be set based on the judgment made by the person.

Note that the system configuration, hardware configuration, and software configuration in the second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment. Furthermore, the above characters may be replaced with items.

(summary)
According to this embodiment, the player can convert a character owned by the player into an item, or convert an item into a character. As a result, in this embodiment, characters can be converted into items and owned, and the number of characters that can be owned by the player can be increased.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, common items are provided for parameters of characters and items that are mutually converted. In this embodiment, by including in the common item at least part of the data that changes due to character enhancement performed by the player, conversion to a parameter with a small amount of data, such as conversion from a character to an item, is possible. Even so, the reinforcements made to the character are not wasted.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, character-specific items are provided as parameters for characters and items to be mutually converted. In this embodiment, when converting a parameter with a large amount of data, such as converting an item to a character, character diversity is achieved by adding character-specific parameter items to the character's parameters. .

Furthermore, in this embodiment, if a mechanism is provided that allows players to trade items, after a character is converted into an item, the itemized character can be traded between players.

In general, characters have a lot of image data, parameter items, etc., and the amount of data is too large, so there is no mechanism for trading that involves data transfer such as changing ownership between players. On the other hand, items include few items such as image data and parameters, and a transaction mechanism that involves data transfer such as changing ownership between players may be provided.

Therefore, in this embodiment, by using a mechanism that allows players to trade items, characters can be converted into items, and the itemized characters can be traded between players.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described specifically disclosed embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the claims. The character management section 61 and the item management section 62 are examples of management means described in the claims. The mutual conversion processing section 63 is an example of mutual conversion means. A pet is an example of a first game element. The item is an example of a second game element.
