BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a game management system, a program, and an information storage medium capable of executing a game in which a team is formed by a plurality of players and a battle is performed between the teams.
[0002]
[Background Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention]
Conventionally, when playing a battle game on a network, a method of matching one player with each other has been common.
[0003]
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-52252 describes a game system in which players are associated with each other in a relationship such as parent-child and sibling.
[0004]
In some cases, a large number of players are gathered in one game space to play a game. In such a case, after the game is started, the players gradually gather in the game space and play the game.
[0005]
For example, according to paragraphs 0014 to 0017 of the specification of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-52252, when a network game is played, after the new player's terminal is connected to the server, the server is in the game space with respect to the player. After assigning the land, it is described that the player participates in a game space where a large number of players already exist.
[0006]
However, in the conventional method, when a team is formed by a plurality of players and a battle is performed between the teams, for example, a player who is a leader sends an email to other players, or calls one by one It was necessary to form a team, and it took a lot of time and effort to form a team.
[0007]
In particular, when playing a game in which winning or losing is determined when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the game, if the required number of people is not available at the start of the game, it is disadvantageous for playing the game.
[0008]
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game management system, a program, and an information storage medium that can more easily execute a team battle game.
[0009]

An information storage medium according to the present invention is an information storage medium readable by a computer, and stores a program for causing the computer to function as the above means.
[0012]
According to the present invention, when a team battle event occurs, the player management data is updated, whereby a predetermined player participating in the normal game space can be moved to the team battle game space.
[0013]
This makes it possible to more easily execute a team battle type game.
[0014]
In the game management system, the determination unit determines whether there is a team battle request from a game device operated by a predetermined player belonging to the team,
When there is a team battle request, the control means may update the player management data so as to move the player of the team to which the player belongs to the team battle game space.
[0015]
In the program and the information storage medium, the determination unit determines whether there is a team battle request from a game device operated by a predetermined player belonging to the team,
When there is a team battle request, the control means may update the player management data so as to move the player of the team to which the player belongs to the team battle game space.
[0016]
According to this, for example, when there is a team battle request from a player who is a team leader, the player of the team to which the player belongs can be moved to the team battle game space.
[0017]
Thereby, since the leader etc. can save the effort which contacts all the members of a team by himself, it becomes possible to perform a team battle type game more easily.
[0018]
Further, in the game management system, the program, and the information storage medium, when the information generation unit moves the player to the team battle game space, the game interruption process in the normal game space before the movement, the end of the game Information for performing at least one of the process and the continuation process of the game may be generated.
[0019]
According to this, when a team battle is performed, the game in the normal game space can be interrupted, ended, or continued.
[0020]
The information for performing such processing includes, for example, game information for executing a game when the game management system forms a normal game space, and a normal game space otherwise. Control information for controlling the game server device to be executed corresponds to this.
[0021]
When the continuation process is performed, for example, the information generation unit performs a matching process for executing a game between the remaining players who have not moved from the normal game space on the game server device forming the normal game space. Control information or the like may be generated.
[0022]
Further, in the game management system, the determination unit grasps the number of players actually gathered based on information received from the game device by the communication unit,
The information generation means generates recruitment information for displaying an image for recruiting an opponent on the game device according to the number of players,
The communication unit may transmit the recruitment information to a predetermined game device.
[0023]
Further, in the program and the information storage medium, the determination unit grasps the number of players actually gathered based on information received from the game device by the communication unit,
The information generation means generates recruitment information for displaying an image for recruiting an opponent on the game device according to the number of players,

[0036]
In the above state, when the player A1 who is the leader requests the start of the team battle type game, and the player B1 which is the leader requests the participation in the team battle type game in response to the request, the management server 100 Then, the players A1 to A4 and B1 to B4 are forced to participate in the team battle game space of the team battle shooting game, and the players C1 and C2 remain in the normal game space of the soccer game.
[0037]
In this case, in the team battle game space of the team battle type shooting game, the game is newly started between the team A and the team B, and in the normal game space of the soccer game, the game continues between the players C1 and C2. Is done. From another point of view, the management server 100 forms a team battle game space for each game device 200 operated by the players A1 to A4 and B1 to B4 from the game server 300-1 or the game server 300-2. The game server 300-2 continues the game by reconnecting to 300-3.
[0038]
In this way, when a team battle event occurs, the player can more easily enjoy the team battle game by forcing the players belonging to the team to participate in the team battle game space. .
[0039]
Next, functional blocks of the management server 100 for realizing such functions will be described.
[0040]
FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of the management server 100 according to an example of the present embodiment.
[0041]
The management server 100 includes a communication unit 190 that exchanges information with a plurality of game servers 300 and a plurality of game devices 200, a processing unit 110, and a storage unit 120.

[0044]
Next, the data structure of these data will be described.
[0045]
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a data structure of the player management data 122 according to an example of the present embodiment.
[0046]
The player management data 122 is data for managing the players, and is data indicating the correspondence between the normal game space and the team battle game space and the players.
[0047]
The items of the player management data 122 include, for example, “player name”, “team name”, “attribute”, “state”, “game device”, “connection destination”, and the like.
[0048]
For example, in the player A1, the “player name” is “A1”, the “team name” is “A”, the “attribute” is “leader”, the “status” is “online”, and the “game device” is “200-1”. , “Destination” is “300-1”. The player B2 has a “player name” of “B2”, a “team name” of “B”, an “attribute” of “member”, a “state” of “online”, and a “game device” of “200-1”. , “Destination” is “300-1”.
[0049]
By adopting such a data structure, the management server 100 allows the game device 100 operated by each player, the game server 300 to which the game device 100 is connected, and the game device 100 to be in an operating state (online). Whether the player is in a non-operational state (offline), to which team the player belongs, whether the player is a leader or a member can be grasped.
[0050]
Next, the data structure of the server management data 124 will be described.
[0051]
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a data structure of the server management data 124 according to an example of the present embodiment.
[0052]
The server management data 124 is data for managing the game server 300.
[0053]
Examples of the items of the server management data 124 include “server” indicating the name of the game server 300, “game space” indicating the game space formed by the server, “state” indicating the state of the server, and the like.
[0054]
For example, in the game server 300-1, the “server” is “300-1”, the “game space” is “tennis game”, and the “state” is “online”. In the game server 300-3, the “server” is “300-3”, the “game space” is “shooting game”, and the “state” is “standby”.
[0055]
By adopting such a data structure, the management server 100 can grasp the state of the game server 300 and the like.
[0056]
Next, the data structure of the state management data 126 will be described.
[0057]
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a data structure of the state management data 126 according to an example of the present embodiment.
[0058]
The state management data 126 is data for managing the recruitment state of the opponent.
[0059]
The items of the state management data 126 include, for example, “team” indicating the team name, “state” indicating the recruitment status, “number” indicating the recruitment number, and “map” indicating the map name in the game space where the match starts. “Number of matches” indicating the number of desired teams, “Handicap” indicating presence / absence of handicap, “Reduction” indicating whether or not to reduce the number of members according to the opponent, “Destination” indicating the connection destination game server 300 Etc. ”.
[0060]
For example, Team A has “Team” as “A”, “State” as “Recruiting”, “Number of people” as “4, 13 (means 4 to 13)”, “Map” as “Zipangu”, “Number of matches” is “3”, “Handicap” is “None”, “Reduction” is “Yes”, and “Destination” is “300-3”. For teams that are not recruiting opponents, the “status” is “standby”, and items other than “team” and “status” are blank.
[0061]
By adopting such a data structure, the management server 100 can generate image information indicating the recruitment status of team matches.
[0062]
The functions of these units can be realized using, for example, a LAN board as the communication unit 190, a CPU or the like as the processing unit 110, and a RAM or the like as the storage unit 120, for example.
[0063]
Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the computer can read the program from the information storage medium 180 in which the program for causing the computer of the management server 100 to function as each unit described above is realized, and each unit described above can be realized. is there.
[0064]
In addition, the management server 100 can realize the various functions described above by reading a program from a predetermined host terminal or the like via a network instead of from the information storage medium 180, for example.
[0065]
As the information storage medium 180, for example, a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, IC card, ROM, RAM, memory card, HDD, or other storage medium using laser or magnetism can be applied. Further, the method of reading the program from the information storage medium 180 may be a contact type or a non-contact type.
[0066]
(Explanation of processing flow)
Next, the flow of processing up to the execution of the team battle type game using each unit described above will be described.
[0067]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing up to execution of a team battle game according to an example of the present embodiment.
[0068]
A plurality of players who come to the game center as a group perform input of a player name and team name, a role (leader or member), and a game to be executed while the image for user registration is displayed on the game device 200.
[0069]
The game device 200 transmits user registration information including the user registration content and identification information of the game device 200 to the management server 100 via the LAN cable 400.
[0070]
The communication unit 190 of the management server 100 receives the user registration information, and the control unit 114 performs user registration by adding a new record to the player management data 122 based on the user registration information (step S1). ).
[0071]
For the connection destination, the control unit 114 selects the connection-destination game server 300 by referring to the game name selected by the user included in the user registration information and the “game space” of the server management data 124. be able to.
[0072]
In addition, the information generation unit 112 connects the game device 200 that is the transmission source of the user registration information to the game server 300 that is the connection destination of the game device 200, so that both the game device 200 and the game server 300 can communicate with each other. Connection information (for example, IP address) is generated.
[0073]
Then, the communication unit 190 transmits the connection information to the game device 200 and the game server 300.
[0074]
Thereby, a connection is established between the game apparatus 200 and the game server 300, and the game apparatus 200 can execute the base game by transmitting and receiving game information and operation information to and from the game server 300 (step S2).
[0075]
Then, when the number of visitors to the game center increases and the number of players increases, the player who plays the role makes a team battle request.
[0076]
When the game device 200 determines that the player who has played the leader has performed a team battle request operation (step S3), the game device 200 displays a recruitment condition input image (step S4). Continue (step S2).
[0077]
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a recruitment condition input image 500 according to an example of the present embodiment.
[0078]
As shown in FIG. 8, the recruitment condition input image 500 includes “recruit opponents”, “opponent conditions”, “number of people”, “map”, “number of battles”, “handicap”, “ Items such as “reducing members according to the opponent” are displayed, and the player selects an option or inputs a numerical value to input recruitment conditions (step S5).
[0079]
The game device 200 transmits recruitment condition information indicating the input contents of the recruitment conditions to the management server 100.
[0080]
The control unit 114 updates the state management data 126 based on the recruitment condition information. For example, the control unit 114 updates the “state” from “standby” to “recruiting”, and inputs a value to “number of people” and the like.
[0081]
Then, the information generation unit 112 generates recruiting information for displaying the recruiting image of the team battle based on the state management data 126. In addition, the communication unit 190 transmits the recruitment information to the game device 200 of the leader of another team. For example, when the player A1 who is a leader requests a team battle, the communication unit 190 transmits recruitment information to the game devices 200-5 and 200-9 of the players B1 and C1 who are leaders of other teams.
[0082]
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a recruiting image 510 according to an example of the present embodiment.
[0083]
Based on the recruitment information, the game device 200 displays a recruiting image 510 that includes items such as “team name” and “number of people” and selection images such as “view detailed conditions” and “apply a match” ( Step S6).
[0084]
For example, when the player B1 who is the leader of the team B selects “apply a battle” for a specific team, the game device 200-5 operated by the player B1 is for specifying the number of players, the handicap, and the like. While displaying an image, the battle response information which shows the input content by player B1, such as an opponent team and the number of players, is transmitted to the management server 100.
[0085]
The determination unit 116 of the management server 100 determines whether or not there is a participation request based on the battle response information (step S7).
[0086]
Further, when there is a request for participation, the determination unit 116 determines whether or not a battle is possible based on the battle response information and the state management data 126 (step S8).
[0087]
As a criterion for determining whether or not the battle is possible, for example, a criterion such that the number of opponents of each team is appropriate and the level of each team is appropriate may be adopted.
[0088]
When the determination unit 116 determines that a battle is possible, that is, when a team battle event occurs, the information generation unit 112 generates notification information indicating that a battle application has been made or that a battle condition has been established. . In addition, the communication unit 190 transmits the notification information to the game device 200 operated by the leaders and members of the respective teams for which the conditions for enabling the battle are established (step S9).
[0089]
Further, when there is no request for participation or when the battle is not possible, display of the recruiting image 510 on the game device 200 operated by the leader is continued (step S6). Note that the display of the recruiting image 510 may be stopped at a certain time so that the leader can execute the normal game.
[0090]
Here, the notification image 520 will be described.
[0091]
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a notification image 520 according to an example of the present embodiment.
[0092]
For example, when Team B responds to Team A who recruits opponents, the game device 200 of the player belonging to Team A is “There was an application for a match. The opponents are Team B (4 people). And a notification image 520 including a so-called chat image such as “Change to the battle map from now on. Chat corner for operation”.
[0093]
Thereby, the player who belongs to Team A can hold a strategy meeting or the like before a battle with another player who belongs to Team A.
[0094]
Further, in this embodiment, when a team battle event occurs, the members of the team for which the battle condition is satisfied are forcibly moved from the normal game space of the normal game to the team battle game space for the team battle type game. Then, a team battle type game is executed (step S10).
[0095]
Specifically, for example, the control unit 114 causes the information generation unit 112 to generate control information for putting the game server 300-3 capable of executing the team battle type shooter game, which is a team battle type game, into an operating state. .
[0096]
Then, the communication unit 190 transmits the control information to the game server 300-3. Thereby, game server 300-3 will be in an operation state, and will be in the state which can execute a team battle type game.
[0097]
Further, the control unit 114 changes the “status” of the game server 300-3 in the server management data 124 from “standby” to “online”.
[0098]
Further, for example, when the team that has recruited the opponent is Team A, the control unit 114 changes the “connection destinations” of the players A2 to A4 of the player management data 122 of the state management data 126 from “300-2” to “ 300-1 ".
[0099]
The control unit 114 also causes the information generation unit 112 to generate communication control information for changing the connection destination of the game devices 200-1 to 200-4 of the players A1 to A4 to the game server 300-3.
[0100]
And the communication part 190 transmits the said communication control information to 200-1 to 200-4 and game server 300-1 to 300-3. Thereby, the connection between the game device 200-1 and the game server 300-1 is disconnected, the connection between the game device 200-2 and the game server 300-2 is disconnected, and the game devices 200-1 to 200-4 and the game are disconnected. A connection with the server 300-3 is established. Thereby, game device 200-1 to 200-4 will be in the state which can execute a team battle type game.
[0101]
In addition, team B game devices 200-5 to 200-8 for which a match has been applied are also in a state where a team battle game can be executed in the same procedure.
[0102]
The team battle type game is executed in the above procedure.
[0103]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, a predetermined player is registered as a member of a team in advance, and when the team battle condition is satisfied, the player management data 122 is updated to force each player. Can be moved to the game space for team battles.
[0104]
As a result, the team leader or the like can save the trouble of contacting all the members of the team by himself, so that the team-matching game can be executed more easily.
[0105]
Further, according to the present embodiment, since the necessary number of people can be prepared at the time of starting the game, a game in which winning or losing is determined when a predetermined time elapses from the start of the game, such as a team-matching shooting game, is performed. Even if it is performed, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a disadvantage in playing the game.
[0106]
(Modification)
Although the embodiments to which the present invention is applied have been described above, the application of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.
[0107]
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the normal game and the team battle type game are different game story games (for example, the normal game is a tennis game or a soccer game, and the team battle type game is a shooting game). It may be a game story or a game in the same game space. In this case, specifically, for example, in a fighting game, the base game may be a game at the training stage, and the team battle game may be a game at the competition stage.
[0108]
Moreover, in the Example mentioned above, although the number of battle teams was the same, it does not need to be the same. In this case, for example, a “priority” item may be provided in the player management data 122 to select a team battle member from a player with a higher priority, or an “match date” item in the player management data 122. It is also possible to select a member for team battle from the players with the old battle date and time.
[0109]
In addition, the player who was not selected in the team battle continues the same normal game.
[0110]
Further, in this case, the determination unit 116 is configured to grasp the number of players actually gathered based on the information received from the game device 200 by the communication unit 190, and the information generation unit 112 is configured according to the number of players. It may be configured to generate recruitment information for displaying an image for recruiting an opponent on the game device, and the communication unit 190 may transmit the recruitment information to the game device 200.
[0111]
According to this, since it is possible to recruit opponents according to the number of players actually gathered, it is possible to maintain the balance between teams in the competition game.
[0112]
Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the battle condition is satisfied, the member is forcibly moved to the game space for team battle. For example, the intention of the team battle is confirmed for each player, and the team battle is performed. Only the player who has indicated the intention to participate may be moved to the team battle game space.
[0113]
In the above-described embodiment, the player of each team can determine the competence of other teams in the “handicap” item. For example, the management server 100 receives information indicating game results from the game server 300. You may determine the team which you acquire and fight based on the past game results.
[0114]
