Description

  The present invention relates to a game control method.

  In recent years, a social game that is provided on a social networking service (SNS) and plays while communicating with other users is known.

  Application programs for playing this social game can be broadly classified into native applications and web applications (Web applications). The native application is downloaded to the terminal, installed on the terminal, and used. The web application runs on the web server and is used for the web browser of the terminal.

  Specifically, the native application is an application that depends on the OS of a terminal such as an iPhone (registered trademark) terminal or an Android (registered trademark) terminal of a smartphone. For example, the server device distributes a native application such as an iPhone application loaded with Objective-C or an Android application loaded with Java (registered trademark) from the platform to each terminal.

  The native application needs to be developed in two types: a programming language “Objective-C” corresponding to the iPhone terminal and a programming language “Java” corresponding to the Android terminal. For this reason, the native application needs to be published through an official marketplace after a coding process using a language specific to the terminal platform.

  On the other hand, web applications can be cross-developed based on languages such as HTML5 (Hyper Text Markup Language 5), JavaScript (registered trademark), CSS3 (Cascading Style Sheets 3) for both platforms. There is no need to go through the marketplace. The web application does not depend on the OS of the terminal.

  By the way, among the above-described social games, there are games in which various characters or items are acquired in the game and the game is advanced using the characters or items.

JP 2003-290556 A

  In many cases, the parameters relating to the above-described character or item (that is, the game element constituting the game) are not changed.

  For this reason, when a social game is continuously operated, it is necessary to regularly add new game elements in order to prevent the user from getting bored.

  However, as the number of game elements increases, it becomes very difficult to regularly add new game elements.

  Therefore, for example, it is desired to increase variations of social games using existing game elements.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a game control method capable of changing the parameters of game elements according to time zones.

The game control method of the present invention for solving the above problems
A game control method executed by a game control device,
Storing a plurality of parameters in the storage means in association with each time;
Determining the current time based on the time information;
Setting a parameter associated with the determined current time for the game element;
And executing the game based on information on a game scenario associated with the set parameter.

  The present invention makes it possible to change the parameters of the game element according to the time zone.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of a network system including a game control apparatus according to the present embodiment.

  This network system is mainly composed of a computer (server computer) 10 and a communication terminal 20 used by a user.

  The communication terminal 20 is communicably connected to the computer 10 through a network 30 such as the Internet. In FIG. 1, only the communication terminal 20 is connected to the computer 10 via the network 30, but a plurality of communication terminals including the communication terminal 20 are connected to the computer 10. In FIG. 1, descriptions of communication terminals other than the communication terminal 20 are omitted.

  Further, for example, a smartphone, a feature phone, a tablet terminal, or the like can be used as the communication terminal 20, and a hardware configuration unique to the model, an OS that is employed, an installed application program, and the like are arbitrary. .

  The computer 10 is connected to an external storage device 40 such as a hard disk drive (HDD). The external storage device 40 stores a program 41 executed by the computer 10. The computer 10 and the external storage device 40 constitute a game control device 50.

  The game control device 50 has a function of changing the attributes, forms, statuses, or parameters relating to the game contents of the game elements constituting the game played via the communication terminal 20 according to the time zone. Further, it is assumed that the game control device 50 is equipped with a real time clock (RTC) which is a chip dedicated to timekeeping.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram mainly showing a functional configuration of the game control device 50 shown in FIG. The game control device 50 includes a game control information storage unit 42, a parameter management information storage unit 43, a game control unit 51, a time information acquisition unit 52, and a parameter setting unit 53.

  In the present embodiment, the game control information storage unit 42 and the parameter management information storage unit 43 are stored in, for example, the external storage device 40. In addition, the game control unit 51, the time information acquisition unit 52, and the parameter setting unit 53 are realized by the computer 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 executing the program 41 stored in the external storage device 40. The program 41 can be stored in advance on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium M and distributed. The program 41 may be installed in the computer 10 from the network 30 or the storage medium M.

  The game control information storage unit 42 stores various information for controlling a game played via the communication terminal 20. The information stored in the game control information storage unit 42 includes, for example, information related to game elements that constitute a game played through the communication terminal 20. The game element is, for example, a character used in the game, a scenario in the game, or the like. Note that in the game control information storage unit 42, for example, parameters are set for game elements constituting the game.

  The parameter management information storage unit 43 stores parameter management information for managing parameters set for game elements constituting a game played via the communication terminal 20 according to a time zone. Specifically, the parameter management information includes the first parameter set in the first time zone for the game elements constituting the game described above and the first parameter other than the first time zone for the game elements. 2nd parameter set to 2 time slot | zones is included.

  Here, the game element may include a character or an item used in the game. In this case, the first and second parameters may include a parameter relating to at least one of the attribute, form, and status of the character or item.

  Further, the first and second parameters may include parameters relating to the game content of the game. For example, the first and second parameters may include a parameter relating to game content indicating a virtual world in a game where game elements are arranged and a game rule in the virtual world.

  Any virtual world can be used. In the example shown in FIG. 8 to be described later, a virtual world in the animal breeding simulation game and a virtual world in the love simulation game are used.

  As a rule of the game, for example, the rule that the progress speed of the game is n times in the first or second time zone, or the attack cooperation with the friends in the (battle) game in the first or second time zone Arbitrary rules such as a rule in which the number of combos that is a number is multiplied by n can be used (for example, n is an integer of 2 or more).

  As the parameters relating to the game content, for example, any parameter such as the above-mentioned parameter indicating the virtual world, the above-described parameter indicating the multiplication factor for the traveling speed, and the above-described parameter indicating the multiplication factor for the number of combos can be used as appropriate. It has become. As the parameter, a value calculated by multiplying the magnification may be used. For example, the magnification is not limited to n times, and any magnification such as (1 / n) times can be used.

  The first and second parameters may be the type and / or number of operations that the user can perform on the game control device 50.

  The first and second time zones may be automatically set by the game control device 50 as information indicating a predetermined time zone. The predetermined time zone may indicate a time zone corresponding to user information regarding a user who uses the game control device 50.

  Alternatively, the first and second time zones may be set according to a user operation on the game control device 50.

  The game control unit 51 has a function of controlling a game played via the communication terminal 20 based on information stored in the game control information storage unit 42.

  The time information acquisition unit 52 acquires time information indicating the current time from the RTC in the game control device 50 described above. However, the time information may be acquired from any timer function unit other than the RTC.

  The parameter setting processing unit 53 includes the time indicated by the time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit 52 based on the parameter management information stored in the parameter management information storage unit 43 in the first time zone described above. Or whether it is included in the second time zone.

  If the parameter setting processing unit 53 determines that the time indicated by the time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit 52 is included in the first time zone, the parameter management processing unit 53 stores the parameter management stored in the parameter management information storage unit 43. A first parameter is set for the game element based on the information.

  Further, when it is determined that the time indicated by the time information acquired by the time information acquisition unit 52 is included in the second time zone, the parameter setting processing unit 53 is stored in the parameter management information storage unit 43. A second parameter is set for the game element based on the parameter management information.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the data structure of the parameter management information stored in the parameter management information storage unit 43 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the parameter management information includes, for example, time zone information representing a time zone of one day and parameters set in the game element in the time zone in association with each other.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the parameter management information includes time zone information “8: 00-17: 00” and a parameter “parameter X” in association with each other. The parameter management information includes time zone information “17: 01-7: 59” and a parameter “parameter Y” in association with each other. According to this parameter management information, for the game elements constituting the game controlled by the game control device 50, the parameter (in the first time zone) (“8: 00-17: 00”) “Parameter X” is set as the first parameter), and “Parameter Y” is set as the parameter (second parameter) in the time zone (second time zone) of “17: 01-7: 59”. It has been shown that.

  Here, the parameter management information for one game element has been described. However, when there are a plurality of game elements constituting a game, the parameter management information is stored in the parameter management information storage unit 43 for each game element. The

  Next, an outline of the operation of the game control apparatus 50 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  Here, a case where the game control device 50 controls a game using a card as a character or an item will be described as an example. The game elements constituting such a game include a card (item, character) A used in the game. Further, it is assumed that the first parameter is set for the card A (game element). It is assumed that the first parameter is a parameter set for the card A in the first time zone.

  In this case, the game control device 50 acquires time information from the RTC in the game control device 50, and refers to the time information (step S1). When the time indicated by the time information referred to here is included in the second time zone, the game control device 50 sets the second parameter for the card A (step S2). It is assumed that the second parameter is a parameter set for the card A in the second time zone.

  Thereby, when the time is in the second time zone, the parameter set in the card A changes from the first parameter to the second parameter.

  Similarly, after the second parameter is set, the game control device 50 acquires time information from the RTC in the game control device 50, and refers to the time information (step S3). When the time indicated by the time information referred to here is included in the first time zone, the game control device 50 sets the first parameter for the card A (step S4). Thereby, when the time is in the first time zone, the parameter set in the card A is returned from the second parameter to the first parameter.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the parameter set to the game element (here card A) which constitutes a game can be changed according to a time slot. When the parameters are changed in this way, for example, the attribute, appearance (form), and rare degree (rareness) of the card A change in the game.

  Here, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5, the process sequence of the game control apparatus 50 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. Here, a processing procedure when changing (changing) a parameter set in a game element according to the above-described time zone will be described.

  First, the parameter setting processing unit 53 acquires parameter management information stored in the parameter management information storage unit 43 (step S11).

  Next, the time information acquisition unit 52 acquires time information indicating the current time from the RTC in the game control device 50 (step S12). Hereinafter, the time indicated by the time information acquired in step S12 is referred to as the current time. In addition, as long as step S11, S12 is before step S13, either may be performed first. Steps S11 and S12 may be executed in parallel with each other as long as they are before step S13.

  The parameter setting processing unit 53 refers to the acquired parameter management information, current time and game control information storage unit 42, and determines whether or not the parameter set in the game element needs to be changed (step) S13). The game control information storage unit 42 stores parameters set for game elements at the current stage.

  In step S13, when the current time is included in the first time zone and the second parameter is set for the game element, or when the current time is included in the second time zone. When the first parameter is set for the game element, it is determined that the parameter set for the game element needs to be changed.

  On the other hand, if the current time is included in the first time zone and the first parameter is set for the game element, or if the current time is included in the second time zone and the game When the second parameter is set for the element, it is determined that there is no need to change the parameter set for the game element.

  When it is determined that the parameter set in the game element needs to be changed (YES in step S13), the parameter setting processing unit 53 changes the parameter set in the game element (step S14).

  Specifically, when the current time is included in the first time zone, the second parameter is changed to the first parameter (that is, the first parameter is set for the game element). ) On the other hand, when the current time is included in the second time zone, the first parameter is changed to the second parameter (that is, the second parameter is set for the game element).

  If it is determined that it is not necessary to change the parameter set in the game element (NO in step S13), the process returns to the above step S12 and is repeated.

  That is, in this embodiment, the time information (current time) from the RTC in the game control device 50 is continuously monitored. As a result, when the current time changes from the first time zone to the second time zone, the parameter set in the game element is switched from the first parameter to the second parameter. Further, when the current time changes from the second time zone to the first time zone, the parameter set in the game element is switched from the second parameter to the first parameter.

  When the parameter management information shown in FIG. 3 is used, when the current time changes from “17:00 (first time zone)” to “17:01 (second time zone)”, the setting is made for the game element. The “parameter X (first parameter)” that has been set is switched to “parameter Y (second parameter)”. On the other hand, when the current time is changed from “7:59 (second time zone)” to “8:00 (first time zone)”, “parameter Y (second parameter)” set in the game element is set. Is switched to “parameter X (first parameter)”.

  In addition, although the case where the parameter with respect to one game element was changed was demonstrated here, when there exist multiple game elements which change a parameter according to a time slot | zone, the process shown in FIG. 5 mentioned above for every game element concerned Is executed.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the game control device 50 will be specifically described. Here, first to third specific examples will be described.

  In the first specific example, a case will be described in which the rarity (rareity) and attributes of a game element are changed according to a time zone. It is assumed that the game controlled by the game control device 50 in the first specific example is a game (hereinafter referred to as a card game) in which a card is used as a character or an item to play against other users.

  In this case, in the game control device 50, as shown in FIG. 6, when the current time is included in the time zone of “8: 00-17: 00”, for example, the rare degree of the card used as the character is “normal ( Parameter) ”. For example, the attribute of a card used as an item is set to “fire attribute (parameter thereof)”.

  On the other hand, when the current time is included in the time zone of “17: 01-7: 59”, for example, the rare degree of a card used as a character is set to “S rare (parameter)”. Further, for example, the attribute of a card used as an item is set to “water attribute (parameter thereof)”.

  In other words, in the case of the first specific example described above, the time zone of “8: 00-17: 00” (first time zone) and the time zone of “17: 01-7: 59” (second time zone) In the time zone, the rarity and attributes of the card used in the card game can be changed.

  In such a card game, for example, when the rare degree of a card used as a character is changed, the status (parameter) of the card (character) also changes according to the rare degree. It is also possible to do.

  In addition, the first and / or second time period may be notified to the user by a predetermined notification unit. For example, the user may be notified of the start time and end time of the above time zone by e-mail or the like. In addition, the first and / or second time zone is not limited to mail, but may be notified (notified) to the user on a platform or a homepage.

  Thus, when the game control apparatus 50 is applied to the card game described above, the parameters are changed for one card according to the time zone. For this reason, compared with the case where the card | curd (character or item) with which the parameter was fixed is used, for example, it becomes possible to increase the variation of the game (game element which comprises). Furthermore, it is possible to prompt the user to play a game (that is, increase in login to the game) in order to confirm a change in the parameter of the card (game element) in each time slot.

  In the present embodiment, the time zone information included in the parameter management information stored in the parameter management information storage unit 43 can be configured to be specified by the user. In other words, the time zone information (for example, the first and second time zones) may be set according to a user operation on the game control device 50. In this case, what is necessary is just to set a parameter according to the time slot | zone when a user plays a game. For example, the rare degree of a card owned by a user who is a member of society can be set to be high at night, and the rare degree of a card owned by a user who is a student can be set to be high in the daytime. As a result, for example, even young users (students, etc.) who are not able to charge enough can play the game in the same way as economical users during the daytime. Note that the time zone information is not specified by the user, but may be automatically set in the game control device 50 according to the user information (for example, the user's age), or depends on the user information or the like. You may set at random without doing. Further, the time zone information (eg, first and second time zones) may be automatically set by the game control device 50 as information indicating a predetermined time zone. Here, the predetermined time zone may indicate a time zone (eg, time zone corresponding to daytime and nighttime) according to user information regarding the user who uses the game control device 50.

  It is also possible to incorporate a mechanism that uses a time difference, such as playing or cooperating with a user (player) in another country who is at night during the daytime in Japan.

  Furthermore, when a scenario that can be cleared only in a time zone in which the rarity (parameter) is set to be high is distributed in the card game, a capture element that uses a change in parameter according to the time zone is introduced between users. It becomes possible. In addition, it is possible to stimulate rush demand due to such a scenario. In addition, by distributing such a scenario, the same effect as a limited-time event can be obtained, so that it is possible to reduce the effort of a developer who periodically distributes a limited-time event.

  Next, in the second specific example, a case where the form (appearance) of the game element is changed according to the time zone will be described. In this second specific example, it is assumed that the game control device 50 controls, for example, a game (hereinafter referred to as a simulation game) in which a real event can be virtually experienced.

  In this case, according to the game control apparatus 50 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, when the current time is included in the time zone of “5: 00-22: 59”, the game controller 50 appears in the simulation game. The character's clothes (appearance) are set to “low exposure (parameter)”.

  On the other hand, when the current time is included in the time zone of “23: 00-4: 59”, the clothes (appearance) of the characters appearing in the simulation game are set to “high exposure (parameter)”.

  That is, in the case of the second specific example described above, the time zone of “5: 00-22: 59” (first time zone) and the time zone of “23: 00-4: 59” (second time zone) And the clothes of the character appearing in the simulation game can be changed.

  As described above, when the game control device 50 according to the present embodiment is applied to the simulation game as described above, for example, in a time zone in which there are many users such as elementary school students (for example, daytime), the exposure of the character is suppressed, Increase the exposure of the character (for example, at night). Thereby, suitable expression can be performed according to the time slot | zone (namely, time slot | zone according to a user's age group) where a user plays a game. Although the case where the clothes of the character of the simulation game change according to the time zone has been described here, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the content of text (character string) and other expressions and descriptions to be selected by the user in a love simulation game or the like change according to the time zone.

  In addition, sufficient charge cannot be made to users such as elementary school students. For this reason, it is possible to change various parameters so that the game model is easy to play without charge during the day and can be enjoyed by charge at night.

  Next, in the third specific example, a case where the game content is changed according to the time zone will be described.

  In this case, according to the game control device 50, as shown in FIG. 8, when the current time is included in the time zone “8: 00-17: 00”, the game is played via the communication terminal 20, for example. The form of the character owned by the user who plays is set to “animal (parameter)”, and the parameters relating to the game contents are set to the animal breeding simulation game (parameter) for virtually raising the animal. According to this, the user can play the animal breeding simulation game using the character “animal” during the time period “8: 00-17: 00”.

  On the other hand, when the current time is included in the time zone of “17: 01-7: 59”, for example, the form of the character owned by the user who plays the game is “girl (parameter)” via the communication terminal 20. In addition, a parameter relating to the game content is set in the love simulation game (parameter thereof). According to this, the user can play a love simulation game using a “girl” character during a time period of “17: 01-7: 59”.

  That is, in the case of the third specific example described above, the time zone of “8: 00-17: 00” (the first time zone) and the time zone of “17: 01-7: 59” (the second time zone) The content of the game can be changed in the time zone.

  As described above, when the game control device 50 is applied to the above-described game, the user can play a game having different contents according to the time zone, and thus can continuously play the game without getting tired.

  In addition, although it demonstrated here that an animal breeding simulation game can be played in a 1st time slot | zone and a love simulation game can be played in a 2nd time slot | zone, it seems to make it relevant between these each game. It is also possible to make it. Specifically, the points acquired in the animal breeding simulation game in the first time zone may be used in the love simulation game in the second time zone. Further, for example, it is possible to set so that an animal raised in an animal breeding simulation game becomes a girl only by solving magic during the night, and the girl is in love in the love simulation game. In other words, it is possible to set so that a girl in love in the love simulation game is magically turned into an animal during the daytime and the animal is raised in the animal breeding simulation game. Similarly, a game using a spear character can be played during the day, and a game using a vampire character can be played at night, with settings such as “the spear returns to the vampire only at night”. Thereby, for example, it is possible to provide a game in which the character form (here, the appearance and the race) and the time zone are involved.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure which the range etc. of communication with another user change according to the change of the character according to a time slot | zone.

  In addition, although the 1st-3rd specific example was demonstrated here, operation which a user can perform in the said game according to the time slot | zone which plays a game other than this 1st-3rd specific example, for example. The type, number of times, etc. (parameters thereof) may be changed. In other words, the first and second parameters may be the type and / or number of operations that the user can perform on the game control device 50. Further, for example, the following items such as [a], [b] and / or [c] may be changed.

    [A] Type and / or number of attacks, skills, etc. that can be used by the user.

    [B] Alliance relationships between users and / or between users and non-player characters.

    [C] Attributes and / or number of users who can participate in events such as battles.

  Note that user attributes (eg, age, etc.) are described in the user information of the user.

  That is, this embodiment can be applied to the case where various parameters relating to the game (game elements constituting the game) are changed according to the time zone.

  In the present embodiment, various mechanisms can be realized according to changes in time information from the RTC in the game control device 50.

  Specifically, for example, in a game in which cooperation with other users is possible, the matching of each user is changed in consideration of the parameters set in the current time zone for other users (characters). It is possible to make it the structure which carries out. Furthermore, when the login time of a user is close to the login time of another user who cooperates with the user, the points that can be acquired can be increased or decreased. For example, it is possible to calculate an error between the time when information is distributed from the game control device 50 (server device) and the time when the user logs in to the game, and to give a bonus point to a user with a small error. is there. In addition, the user with the said small error means the user with the login time close | similar to the delivery time of information.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, it is determined whether the time indicated by the time information indicating the current time is included in the first time zone or the second time zone, and the time is the first time zone. If it is determined that it is included in the time zone, the first parameter is set for the game element, and if it is determined that the time is included in the second time zone, the second parameter is set as the game element. Set for. Thereby, it becomes possible to change the parameter of a game element according to a time slot | zone.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the parameter is changed between the first time zone and the second time zone has been described as an example, but three or more time zones may be provided. Moreover, it is also possible to add a configuration in which parameters are changed not only according to the time zone but also according to the date, for example. Specifically, for example, on the birthday of the user who plays the game, the parameter can be changed so that the rare degree of the character owned by the user becomes high.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. Moreover, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of constituent elements disclosed in the embodiment. For example, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the embodiment.
