As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of user terminals 10-1, 10-2,..., 10 -N, and a server 30. Hereinafter, the contents common to the user terminals 10-1, 10-2, and 10-N may be described as “user terminal 10”.

  The user terminal 10 and the server 30 are connected to the network N. For this reason, data communication is possible between the user terminal 10 and the server 30.

  The user terminal 10 is a terminal device (computer) used by a user. In the present embodiment, the user terminal 10 is a computer used by a user to play a game. For example, the user terminal 10 is a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a portable game machine, a stationary game machine, an arcade game machine, or a multi-function having an information processing function Type television receiver (smart TV). In the following, a case where a mobile phone (smartphone) provided with a touch panel is the user terminal 10 and a program supplied from the server 30 is executed on the mobile phone (smartphone) will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, an input unit 14, and a display unit 15.

  Note that the program and data described as being stored in the storage unit 12 or the storage unit 32 may be supplied to the user terminal 10 or the server 30 via the network N, for example. Further, the user terminal 10 or the server 30 may include a component for reading a program or data stored in an information storage medium (for example, an optical disk or a memory card). Then, a program or data may be supplied to the user terminal 10 or the server 30 via the information storage medium.

[2. Game Overview]
In the game system 1, a game is executed by executing a program on the user terminal 10. The game system 1 can execute various games. For example, various games and genres such as sports games (games based on baseball, soccer, tennis, American football, basketball, volleyball, etc.), adventure games, simulation games, role-playing games, or training games It is possible to execute a simple game.

  Hereinafter, as an example of a game executed in the game system 1, a first game in which the first parameter of the first game object is changed or set based on a user operation, and a second game in which the first game object is used are used. The game will be described. Each of the first game and the second game may be a part of one game or may be a separate game. That is, a part of the game executed by one game program may be each of the first game and the second game, or the first game is executed by the first game program, and the second game The second game may be executed by the game program.

  Here, before explaining the details of the first game and the second game having the above features, terms such as “game object” and “parameter” will be explained.

  The “game object” is a target that can be operated, instructed, used, or nurtured in a game, for example. The “game object” is given to a user in a game, for example. Specifically, for example, a game character, a game item, a game card, or the like corresponds to an example of “game object”.

  The “first game object” is a game object that is a target for the user to change or set the first parameter. For example, the “first game object” is a game object for which the user improves ability (performance). For example, the “first game object” is a game character to be trained by the user.

  The “first parameter” is, for example, an ability parameter related to the ability (performance) of the first game object. The “ability parameter” may be, for example, information indicating the level or level of capability or information indicating the presence or absence of a specific capability. Further, the “first parameter” may be a state parameter related to the state (tone) of the first game object. The “state parameter” is, for example, information indicating the goodness of the state. Further, when the first game object is a game character, the “first parameter” may be information indicating the character of the first game object. The “first parameter” is a level parameter related to the strength (level) of the first game object. The “level parameter” is information indicating the level level, for example. The “first parameter” may be information indicating a capability or the like by a numerical value or a flag, or may be information indicating a capability or the like by a symbol (including a character).

  “Changing or setting the first parameter” means changing the value of the first parameter or determining (determining) the value of the first parameter. For example, when the first parameter is a numerical value, increasing or decreasing the numerical value corresponds to “changing the first parameter”, and determining the increased or decreased numerical value as “the first parameter is This corresponds to “setting”. Further, for example, when the first parameter is a flag, changing the flag on / off (valid / invalid) corresponds to “changing the first parameter”, and the changed value is determined. Corresponds to “setting the first parameter”. For example, when the first parameter is a symbol, changing the current symbol to another symbol corresponds to “changing the first parameter”, and determining the other symbol as “first symbol”. This corresponds to “setting a parameter”.

  The “first game” is, for example, a game whose main purpose is to change or set the first parameter. The “first game” is not limited to a game whose purpose is only to change or set the first parameter, but may be a game whose purpose is to change or set the first parameter. Good. For example, the “first game” is a training game for training the first game object.

  In other words, the “first game” can be said to be a game in which the user aims to set the first parameter of the first game object in a desired state. The “desired state” is a state in which the first parameter is a predetermined value or a predetermined value or more. For example, the “desired state” is a state in which the ability is the highest in a range that the ability parameter can take or a state that exceeds a reference. For example, when the ability parameter changes between 0 and 99, the state where the ability is the highest is the state where the ability parameter is the highest value. The state where the ability is equal to or higher than the reference is a state where the ability parameter is equal to or higher than a threshold value (for example, 80). For example, the “desired state” is a state in which the ability parameter indicates that the person has a specific ability. In addition, the “desired state” is a state where the state is the best or within a standard within a range that can be taken by the state parameter. For example, if the state parameter takes one of multiple levels of state (eg, best, good, normal, bad, worst), the best state is the best state among these multiple levels. is there. Above the reference is a state above the reference stage (for example, good or better). Further, for example, the “desired state” is a state in which a state parameter indicates a specific state. In addition, the “desired state” is a state where the personality is the best or within a standard within a range that the personality parameter can take. For example, if the personality parameter has one of multiple grades (for example, best, good, normal, bad, or worst), the best personality is the best personality among these multiple grades. is there. Above the standard is a character that is above the standard stage (for example, good or better). For example, the “desired state” is a state in which the personality parameter indicates a specific personality. Further, for example, the “desired state” is a state that is equal to or higher than the highest level or the reference level within the range that the level parameter can take. For example, when the level parameter changes from 0 to 99, the highest level is the state of 99 where the level parameter is the highest value. The state above the reference level is a state where the level parameter is above a threshold value (for example, 80).

  The “first game” may be a game in which parameters of each of the plurality of first game objects are changed or set. That is, the number of first game objects that can change or set the first parameter in the “first game” may be not only one but also a plurality. For example, the “first game” can be repeatedly played by the user, and the first parameter of the new first game object can be changed or set for each play.

  In the present embodiment, the “first game” is a game in which a game effect related to the change or setting of the first parameter is generated based on the second game object. In other words, the “first game” is a game that produces an advantageous effect for bringing the first parameter into a desired state based on the second game object.

  The “second game object” is a game object different from the first game object. The “second game object” is, for example, an effect generating game object for generating a game effect related to the change or setting of the first parameter in the game. The “second game object” may be the same type of game object as the first game object, or may be a different type of game object. For example, when the “first game object” is a game character, the “second game object” may be a game item. A second parameter is associated with the second game object.

  The “second parameter” is, for example, a level parameter related to the strength (level) of the second game object. For example, the level parameter is a numerical value or symbol indicating the level. For example, the “second parameter” is a rarity parameter relating to the rarity of the second game object. For example, the rarity parameter is a numerical value or symbol indicating the degree of rarity. For example, the “second parameter” is an ability parameter related to the ability (performance) of the second game object. The meaning of the capability parameter is the same as that described for the first parameter. The “second parameter” may be changed or set based on a user operation, or may be limited so that it cannot be changed. For example, when the user performs an operation for strengthening the second game object, the second parameter may be changed or set.

  The “effect on the first game relating to the change or setting of the first parameter” is, for example, generating an advantageous effect in the first game for changing or setting the first parameter. For example, an event for changing or setting the first parameter is generated, or a game item for changing or setting the first parameter is given to the user. For example, an effect that makes it easy to change or set the first parameter may be generated in the first game. For example, a game event that makes it easy to improve the first parameter may be generated, or a game object that makes it easy to improve the first parameter may be given to the user. Or it may be branched to a game story that makes it easy to change the first parameter.

  The “effect on the first game regarding the change or setting of the first parameter” includes an effect for directly changing or setting the first parameter and an effect for changing or setting the first parameter indirectly. And both. Directly changing or setting the first parameter is, for example, changing or setting the first parameter immediately when an event occurs. Indirectly changing or setting the first parameter means that, for example, when an event occurs, the first parameter is not changed or set, but a parameter for changing or setting the first parameter (for example, FIG. In FIG. 17, experience points for changing or setting the ability parameter) are increased, or a game object for changing or setting the first parameter (for example, a game item for changing or setting the ability parameter) is used by the user. It is to give to. For example, the user can change or set the first parameter such as the ability parameter using the experience value points (FIGS. 16 and 17, etc.) and the game item. For example, the user may change or set the first parameter such as the ability parameter using the experience points after the increase of the experience value points or immediately after the game item is given, or after the time has passed ( For example, after the date changes, the first parameter may be used to change or set the user when playing or accessing the game.

  The “advantageous effect for bringing the first parameter into a desired state” is an effect that facilitates making the first parameter into a desired state. For example, the change amount of the first parameter is changed so that the first parameter approaches a desired state. For example, when the first parameter is a capability parameter, the increase amount of the capability parameter is increased.

  The “second game” is a game executed based on the first game object, for example. For example, the “second game” is a game in which a given game task is achieved based on the first game object. In other words, the “second game” is a game in which the user aims to achieve a game task based on the first game object.

  A “game task” is a task to be achieved in a game. For example, the “game task” is to leave a predetermined result in the second game. The “game task” varies depending on the content of the second game. For example, when the second game is a battle game in which the first game object whose first parameter is changed in the first game, winning in the battle may correspond to a “game task”.

  A “match game” is a game in which a user and an opponent battle each other. The opponent may be another user or a computer. For example, the “match game” is a game in which a battle is performed based on a first game object owned by the user and a first game object owned by the opponent. For example, the “matching game” is a game in which a sports game is played.

  The “second game” may be a game in which a reward corresponding to the content or result of the game is given. In this case, obtaining more rewards corresponds to a “game task”.

  The “reward” is a game object (game item or the like) or parameter (points or in-game currency) given to the user. The content of the “reward” changes depending on the result or content of the game, and the user plays the game with the aim of obtaining a better reward. Good reward means that there are many rewards or that the degree of scarcity of rewards is high.

Next, an outline of the first game and the second game will be described by taking a baseball game as an example. The correspondence between the main terms described above and the terms used in the baseball game described below is as follows.
“First Game”: Success Part • “Second Game”: Stadium Part • “First Game Object”: Main Character or Original Character • “Second Game Object”: Event Character • “First Parameter”: Main Character Or the ability parameter of the original character • “Second parameter”: Level parameter of the event character

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a home screen image of a baseball game. As shown in FIG. 2, in the upper area A110 of the home screen image G100, various parameters relating to the user playing the baseball game are displayed. The upper area A110 includes areas A111 to A116 for displaying various parameters related to the user.

  An area A111 shows a user name. Area A112 shows the amount of coins owned by the user. “Coin” is a virtual currency used in the game, and is used to strengthen an event character described later (see FIGS. 23 to 27). Area A113 indicates the number of power stones owned by the user. The “power stone” is a game item necessary for performing a lottery (gacha) for obtaining an event character, or for recovering parameters that are normally recovered with the passage of time as an exception.

  Area A114 shows a user's success point. The success point is a point necessary for playing a success part (see FIGS. 3 to 19) described later. As will be described later, the success part is a game part in which a user develops a game character (an example of a first game object) that is a baseball player and creates his own original character. The success points are reduced (consumed) when the user starts playing the success mode, and are increased (recovered) as time passes. The remaining time until the success point is fully recovered may be displayed in the area A114.

  An area A115 indicates the rank and overall strength of the user's team. In this baseball game, the user can form his / her team using the original characters trained in the success part in the past (see FIGS. 29 and 30), and can also play against other users' teams. (See FIGS. 34 and 35). For example, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the alphabet (B) displayed in the area A115 indicates the rank of the user's team. “B” has a lower rank than “A” and a higher rank than “C”. A numerical value (10200) displayed in the area A115 indicates the total strength of the user's team. For example, the higher the value, the higher the total power. The total power is calculated based on the abilities of game characters belonging to the team.

  Area A116 indicates the number of game tickets owned by the user. The “match ticket” is a game item necessary to play against another user's team at the stadium part described later. A user can play a game with another user's team by using one game ticket. Note that the number of game tickets increases (recovers) with time. In the area A116, the remaining time until the number of game tickets increases may be displayed.

  A plurality of processing objects P121 to P125 are displayed in the lower area A120 of the home screen image G100. The “processing object” is, for example, an image, a symbol, or text associated with processing. Specifically, for example, a button, an icon, a link, or the like corresponds to an example of a “processing object”. When a processing object is selected, processing associated with the processing object is executed.

  A process for returning to the home screen image G100 is associated with the process object P121. When the user selects the processing object P121 displayed on the screen image while a screen image other than the home screen image G100 is displayed on the display unit 15, the home screen image G100 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  The processing object P122 is associated with processing for displaying a screen image for organizing a user team. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 28 to 30). Further, the processing object P123 is associated with processing for displaying a screen image for confirming an event character owned by the user, organizing an event character deck, or strengthening the event character. ing. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 20 to 27).

  The processing object P124 is associated with processing for displaying a screen image for performing a lottery (gacha) for obtaining an event character. When the user selects the processing object P124, a screen image for performing the lottery is displayed on the display unit 15.

  In the processing object P125, a power stone can be purchased, a success point or a game ticket can be purchased in exchange for a currency in the real world (for example, dollars or yen) or a currency used outside the game (for example, electronic money or points). A process for displaying a screen image for recovery is associated. When the user selects the processing object P125, a screen image for purchasing a power stone or recovering a success point or a match ticket is displayed on the display unit 15 in exchange for a currency in the real world.

  The home screen image G100 includes a processing object P130. A process for displaying a menu screen image is associated with the process object P130. When the user selects the processing object P130, a menu screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. Via this menu screen image, the user can establish a relationship (for example, a friend relationship or a friend relationship) with another user, or can confirm a notification from the game provider.

  Furthermore, the home screen image G100 includes processing objects P140, P150, and P160. This baseball game has three parts, a success part, a stadium part, and a challenge part, and the processing objects P140, P150, and P160 are for the user to select one of these parts. .

  The processing object P140 is associated with the success part, and the user can play the success part by selecting the processing object P140. As described above, the success part is a game part for cultivating a game character, and details of the success part will be described later (see FIGS. 3 to 19).

  The processing object P150 is associated with the stadium part, and the user can play the stadium part by selecting the processing object P150. As described above, the stadium part is a game part that plays against another user's team, and details of the stadium part will be described later (see FIGS. 34 and 35).

  The processing object P160 is associated with the challenge part, and the challenge part is executed when the user selects the processing object P160. In this baseball game, for example, a plurality of game tasks such as “Grow three player characters in the success part” and “Win 100 in the stadium part” are set in advance. In the challenge part, the user can confirm the achievement status of each game task, and can obtain a reward associated with the game task that the user has achieved. Note that the tasks as described above may be set every day, every week, or every month.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the processing objects P140, P150, and P160 are displayed at positions corresponding to the three vertices of the erecting triangle, and the user can select one of the processing objects P140, P150, and P160. When either one is selected, the selected processing object is displayed at a position corresponding to the upper vertex.

  The example shown in FIG. 2 shows a state in which the processing object P140 associated with the success part is selected. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2, processing objects P141 to P143 related to the success part are displayed.

  In the success part, the user trains the game character (hereinafter referred to as “the main character”) while practicing the scenario, trains the main character, and creates his own original character. Here, the “scenario” is a game story developed as the game progresses.

  As an example of the above scenario, a game story is provided from the summer when the main character is a second year high school student to becoming a professional baseball player. For example, the hero character belongs to a high school baseball club, wins a regular while practicing with teammates, and participates in baseball games (local qualifying tournaments, national tournaments, etc.). And if the scout of the professional baseball team that observes the practice of the hero character and the game exceeds the standard, the hero character is scouted as a professional baseball player in the fall of the third year of high school.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of scenarios are provided as scenarios in the success part. For example, the high school to which the main character belongs is different between the plurality of scenarios. Specifically, a scenario in which the high school to which the main character belongs is a general high school, a scenario in which the high school to which the main character belongs is a prestigious baseball, and a high school to which the main character belongs is a male student and a female A scenario such as a high school where the number of students on the other side is much larger than that of one of the students is provided as the plurality of scenarios.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2, scenario A (A high school), scenario B (B high school), and scenario C (C high school) are associated with the processing objects P141, P142, and P143, respectively. When the user selects any of the processing objects P141 to P143, the selected processing object is displayed at the center of the home screen image G100.

  The example illustrated in FIG. 2 illustrates a state where the processing object P142 associated with the scenario B (B high school) is selected. When the user further selects the processing object P142 in this state, the success part is executed. In this case, the scenario of the success part is scenario B.

  Here, the flow of the success part will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of the flow of the success part. As shown in FIG. 3, in the success part, after the prepart is executed, the main part is executed. In the pre-part, information necessary for executing the main part is registered and set.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the prepart, first, basic information of the main character is registered. FIG. 4 shows an example of a hero registration screen image for registering basic information of the hero character. Note that the upper area A210, the lower area A220, and the processing object P130 in the hero registration screen image G200 shown in FIG. 4 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. Then, explanation is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the hero registration screen image G200 includes a hero registration area A240. The main character registration area A240 is an area for registering basic information of the main character to be trained in the success part. For example, the basic information includes a name, a voice, a defensive position, a dominant arm, and a batting form (or a throwing form). Note that “speech” is how to read the name of the hero character when it is output as a voice (reading or reading). Further, when the “defense position” is other than the pitcher, the “striking form” is included in the basic information, and when the “defense position” is the pitcher, the “throwing form” is included.

  In this embodiment, basic information of the main character is automatically initialized and displayed in the main character registration area A240. In the main character registration area A240, the processing objects P241 to P245 are displayed in association with each item, and the user can change the contents of the item by selecting the processing object associated with the item to be changed. it can. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, since the processing object P241 is associated with “name”, the user can change the name of the main character to an arbitrary name by selecting the processing object P241.

  Further, the main character registration screen image G200 includes processing objects P230 and P250. The process object P230 is associated with a process for returning to the previous screen image displayed. For this reason, when the user selects the processing object P230, the home screen image G100 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  On the other hand, the processing object P250 is associated with processing for completing the setting of the basic information of the main character. As shown in FIG. 3, when registration of basic information of the main character is completed, an event deck is set. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P250, an event deck setting screen image for setting the event deck is displayed on the display unit 15. Although details will be described later, the event character set in the event deck affects the development of the main character.

  FIG. 5 is an example of an event deck setting screen image. Note that the upper area A310, the lower area A320, and the processing object P130 in the event deck setting screen image G300 shown in FIG. 5 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P330 in the event deck setting screen image G300 is for returning to the previous screen image (that is, the main character registration screen image G200) similar to the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. It is.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the event deck setting screen image G300 includes an event deck setting area A340. In FIG. 5, the contents displayed in the event deck setting area A340 are omitted, and the contents displayed in the event deck setting area A340 are shown in FIG.

  Here, the “event deck” will be described. As will be described later, various events occur in the main part (scenario) of the success part. For example, an event that is advantageous for improving the ability of the main character occurs. In this regard, in the present embodiment, events that occur in the main part of the success part are not fixed, and various events are generated according to one or a plurality of game characters incorporated in the event deck by the user. ing. Therefore, the user can select an event that can occur in the main part by selecting a game character to be incorporated in the event deck. Hereinafter, a game character that can be incorporated into an event deck (in other words, a game character for generating an event) is referred to as an “event character”.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the event deck setting area A340 includes an area A341 and a processing object P342. Area A341 shows the name of the event deck. Further, the process object P342 is associated with a process for displaying a screen image for changing the name of the event deck. When the user selects the processing object P342, a screen image for changing the name of the event deck is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user can change the name of the event deck.

  The event deck setting area A340 is provided with six setting frames A344-1, A344-2, A344-3, A344-4, A344-5, and A345 for setting event characters that are members of the event deck. It has been.

  In the present embodiment, when the user plays this baseball game for the first time, a predetermined number of event characters are given to the user. In addition, the user can obtain an event character by lottery, obtain an event character as a reward in the game, or obtain an event character from another user. The event character is given to the user in the form of a game card (digital card), and the user can own the event character in the form of a game card. In this regard, in the present embodiment, the user can arbitrarily incorporate up to five event characters into the event deck from among the event characters owned by the user. Setting frames A344-1, A344-2, A344-3, A344-4, and A344-5 are frames for setting event characters owned by the user as members of the event deck. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, an image showing an event character set in the event deck by the user is displayed in the event deck setting area A340 together with the level and rarity of the event character.

  In this embodiment, an event character owned by another user can be incorporated into the event deck as an assistant. The setting frame A345 is a frame for setting an event character owned by another user as a member of the event deck.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated into the event deck from among the event characters owned by the user is set to “5”. The upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated into the event deck from among the event characters currently being set is set to “1”. For example, these upper limits may be changed by satisfying a predetermined condition. Specifically, for example, the upper limit may be increased when the progress of the game reaches a reference. Alternatively, the upper limit may be increased by charging (for example, by consuming a charging item). Alternatively, the upper limit may be increased by consuming a predetermined amount of in-game points, in-game currency, or the like. In addition, the upper limit may be changed by satisfying various conditions.

  When the user performs a long press operation (an operation that keeps touching for a predetermined time or more) on any setting frame, an event character screen image indicating detailed information of the event character set in the setting frame is displayed on the display unit 15. Is displayed.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of an event character screen image. As shown in FIG. 7, the event character screen image G400 includes a first area A410, a second area A420, and a third area A440.

  In the first area 410, the name, image, rarity, level, experience value, event power, player ability, and good practice of the event character are displayed. Here, event power, player ability, good practice, and the like differ depending on each event character. In particular, since the good practice differs depending on each event character, options and strategies are provided when the user incorporates the event character into the event deck.

  “Rarity” indicates, for example, difficulty in obtaining an event character. The higher the event character's rarity, the more difficult it is to obtain the event character. In general, the higher the event character's rarity, the higher the usefulness (ability, effect, etc.) of the event character. Therefore, it can be said that “rare” indicates the usefulness of the event character.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, “R” displayed on the left side of the event character image indicates the rarity of the event character. In the present embodiment, any one of a plurality of levels of rarity among PSR (Powerful Super Rare), SR (Super Rare), PR (Powerful Rare), R (Rare), PN (Powerful Normal), and N (Normal) is assigned to each event character. Associated. If these are arranged in order from the highest, they are PSR, SR, PR, R, PN, N. That is, PSR shows the highest rarity and N shows the lowest rarity. Even with the same event character, there can be six types of rarity, PSR, SR, PR, R, PN, N. The same event character here is an event character having the same name, and can be said to be an event character having the same appearance (image). For example, when the event character is a person, being the same person is equivalent to being the same event character.

  “Level” indicates the level of the event character. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the description “Lv. 8/22 (+2)” indicates the level of the event character. This indicates that the current level of the event character is “8” and the maximum level (upper limit level) is “22”.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, the gauge area A411 indicates the current experience value of the event character. As will be described later, in this embodiment, an experience value is given to an event character by synthesizing another event character with the event character (see FIGS. 23 to 27). Then, when the experience value of the event character reaches a predetermined value, the level of the event character increases by one. Note that the state in which the gauge in the gauge area A411 extends to the right end of the gauge area A411 corresponds to the state where the experience value of the event character has reached a predetermined value.

  The level of the event character is limited so as not to exceed the maximum level. The maximum level depends on the rarity. The higher the rarity, the greater the maximum level. In addition, when the same event character is synthesized with the event character, the maximum level of the event character may increase. The description “Lv. 8/22 (+2)” indicates that the maximum level of the event character is increased by two. That is, the initial maximum level of the event character is “20”, indicating that the maximum level has been increased to “22” by strengthening the event character.

  “Event power” indicates the potential of an event associated with the event character (that is, an event that can occur according to the event character in the main part). It shows that it becomes easy to raise the ability of a hero character, so that the numerical value of event power is high. The higher the rarity, the higher the event power value.

  “Player ability” indicates the ability of the event character as a player. In the main part, a game event occurs in the main part (scenario) of the success part, and a game between the high school to which the main character belongs and another high school is played. An event character incorporated in the event deck participates in this game as a teammate of the main character. The player ability indicates the level of ability that the event character can exhibit in such a game.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, alphabets and numerical values indicating player ability are displayed. The higher the numerical value, the higher the ability that the event character can exhibit as a player in the game. Further, the event character is associated with one of alphabets S, A, B, C, D, E, and F according to the above numerical values. “S” indicates that the player ability is very high, and “F” indicates that the player ability is very low.

  Note that the player's ability remains in a predetermined state and does not change. That is, even if another event character is combined with the event character, the player ability of the event character does not change. The event character screen image G400 includes a processing object P430 associated with processing for displaying details of the player ability of the event character. When the user selects the processing object P430, a screen image showing details of the player ability of the event character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  “Good practice” indicates practice that the event character is good at. As will be described later, in the main part (scenario) of the success part, the ability of the hero character can be increased by causing the hero character to practice. In addition, when the main character performs a good practice of the event character together with the event character, the ability of the main character is more likely to be raised than in a normal case.

  The second area A420 shows an event character's event list, event bonus, and profile. As shown in FIG. 7, the second area A420 includes a first tab T421, a second tab T422, and a third tab T423.

  The first tab T421 shows an event list of event characters. The “event list” indicates a list of events that can occur in the main part of the success part when the event character is incorporated in the event deck. The third tab T423 shows the profile of the event character. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the second tab T422 is mainly displayed. However, the user selects the first tab T421 or the third tab T423 to change to the first tab T422 instead of the second tab T422. T421 or the third tab T423 can be displayed.

  The second tab T422 indicates the event bonus of the event character. In the main part of the success part, an advantageous effect (bonus) for raising the ability of the main character is generated by the event character incorporated in the event deck. “Event bonus” indicates an effect generated in the main part of the success part when the event character is incorporated in the event deck.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, “initial evaluation 15”, “special tag bonus 20%”, “knack event bonus 20%”, and “good practice rate up 10%” are set as event bonuses for event characters. Details of these event bonuses will be described later (see the description of FIGS. 13, 16, and 17).

  The effect generated by the event character may differ depending on the combination of the event character and the scenario of the success part selected by the user. For example, an event generated by an event character or an event bonus may change according to a scenario. In this case, the effect for each scenario may be identified in the event character screen image G400. In the success part, a game in which the hero character participates is performed, and an event character can also participate in this game. However, event characters cannot participate in stadium part matches.

  In the present embodiment, the event bonus (the above effect) becomes stronger as the level of the event character becomes higher. As shown in FIG. 7, the second tab T422 includes a processing object P424 associated with a process for displaying the correspondence between the level of the event character and the event bonus. When the user selects the processing object P424, a bonus detail screen image showing the correspondence between the event character level and the event bonus is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the bonus detail screen image. As shown in FIG. 8, the bonus detail screen image G500 displays the correspondence between the level of the event character and the event bonus. That is, the bonus detail screen image G500 displays a bonus associated with the level of the event character. The event bonus associated with the level “n” of the event character indicates an event bonus generated in the main part of the success part when the level of the event character is equal to or higher than the level “n”.

  Further, in the bonus detail screen image G500, an event bonus associated with a level lower than the current level of the event character and an event bonus associated with a level higher than the current level of the event character are displayed.

  Further, in the bonus detail screen image G500, an event bonus associated with a level lower than the current level of the event character and an event bonus associated with a level higher than the current level of the event character are displayed so as to be distinguishable by the user. Is done. In the example illustrated in FIG. 8, the check object is displayed in association with a level lower than the current level of the event character. In the example shown in FIG. 8, since the current level of the event character is “8” (see FIG. 7), the check objects C510 and C520 are displayed in association with the levels “1” and “5”. Therefore, the user can easily understand “what kind of event bonus is generated in the main part of the success part by incorporating the event character in the current state into the event deck”. Instead of the check objects C510 and C520 described above, in the bonus detail screen image G500, the color of the area of the level lower than the current level of the event character (that is, the area indicating the effect generated at the current level of the event character). Or change the brightness. On the contrary, in the bonus detail screen image G500, the color of an area showing an effect that does not occur at the current level of the event character may be changed, or the brightness may be changed.

  Note that bonus detail screen image G500 also includes a processing object P530 associated with a process for closing bonus detail screen image G500. When the user selects the processing object P530, the bonus detail screen image G500 disappears and the event character screen image G400 is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the third area A440 of the event character screen image G400 includes processing objects P441, P442, and P443.

  The processing object P441 is a processing object associated with a process for closing the event character screen image G400. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P441, the event character screen image G400 disappears and the event deck setting screen image G300 is displayed.

  The process object P442 is a process object associated with a process for locking an event character. “Locking an event character” means that the event character cannot be sold or combined with another event character. When the user selects the processing object P442, the event character displayed on the event character screen image G400 is locked. When the event character displayed on the event character screen image G400 is in a locked state, the processing object P442 is a processing object associated with a process for unlocking the event character.

  The process object P443 is a process object associated with a process for setting an event character as a leader. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P443, the event character displayed on the event character screen image G400 is set as a leader. The event character set by the user as a leader can be rented as an assistant to other users. Conversely, the user can rent event characters set by other users as leaders and play the success part.

  When an event character set by the user as a leader is rented as an assistant, a reward is given to the user. For example, when an event character set by the user as a leader is rented as an assistant, a notification indicating that the reward and the reward are given is displayed on the display unit 15 when the game is started. The reward may be automatically granted, or may be given when the user performs an operation for receiving the reward. As rewards, for example, gacha points, coins, store medals, game items, etc. may be given, the experience value and level of event characters owned by the user improve, the hero character or the original character The capability parameter may be improved. Further, the content of the reward may be changed according to the result of the success part used as an assistant.

  In the event deck setting area A340 shown in FIG. 6, the user performs a tap operation on the setting frames A344-1, A344-2, A344-3, A344-4, A344-5 (operation for touching only for a short time). , The event character set in the setting frame is selected as the change source, and an event character change screen image for changing the event character selected as the change source to another event character is displayed on the display unit 15. The

  FIG. 9 shows an example of an event character change screen image. Note that the upper area A610, the lower area A620, and the processing object P130 in the event character change screen image G600 shown in FIG. 9 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P630 in the event character change screen image G600 is for returning to the previous screen image (that is, the event deck setting screen image G300), like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. It is.

  Event character change screen image G600 includes an event character list area A640. Event character list area A640 shows a list of event characters owned by the user. In the event character list area A640, an event character incorporated in the event deck and an event character not incorporated in the event deck are displayed so that the user can distinguish them. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the text (or image) “in use” is displayed in association with the event character incorporated in the event deck, so that the same event character cannot be duplicated in the event deck. Cannot be selected. The user selects any of the event characters that are not incorporated in the event deck as the change destination. When the user selects any event character as the change destination, the event character selected as the change destination is incorporated in the event deck instead of the event character selected as the change source.

  The event character list area A640 includes a processing object P641 associated with processing for removing the event character selected as the change source from the event deck. For this reason, when the user selects the processing object P641, the event character selected as the change source is removed from the event deck.

  Processing object P650 is associated with processing for sorting the display order of event characters displayed in event character list area A640. Here, a plurality of conditions can be specified. For example, “Entry procedure”, “Rarity order”, “Level order”, “Good practice (detailed later) order”, “Event power order”, “Player ability order” Event characters can be sorted by “name order” and “lock order”.

  Further, in the event deck setting area A340 shown in FIG. 6, when the user performs a tap operation (an operation for touching only for a short time) on the setting frame A345, an assistant is selected from among the event characters owned by other users. A screen image for selection is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of the event deck setting area A340 when the event character in the setting frame A344-5 is changed to another event character and an assistant is selected from among the event characters owned by other users. Show.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the event deck setting area A340 includes a good practice area A346. The good practice area A346 shows good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the event deck setting area A340 displays the event characters shown in the setting frames A344-1 to A344-5 and A345 and the good practice shown in the good practice area A346. Will be. That is, the event character and the good practice corresponding to the event character are displayed in the same screen. For this reason, the user can easily see the good practice he / she desires and the event character having it, and can intuitively grasp whether the event character incorporated in the event deck is ideal or not. .

  In this embodiment, there are 10 types of “blow”, “muscle strength”, “strike”, “shoulder strength”, “defense”, “mental”, “ball speed”, “control”, “stamina”, and “change ball”. One of the exercises is set as a good practice for the event character. Among these, “defense” and “mental” are practice items common to both fielders and pitchers. “Strike”, “Strength”, “Striking”, and “Shoulder” are practice items for fielders. “Ball speed”, “control”, “stamina”, and “change ball” are practice items for pitchers. These exercises are performed by the main character in the success part described later.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, these 10 types of exercises are displayed in the good practice area A346, and among these 10 types of exercises, they are set as good practices for event characters incorporated in the event deck. The user can distinguish between the practice that has been set and the practice that is not set as the best practice for the event character incorporated in the event deck.

  In the good practice area A346, the fielder's practice (hitting, strength, running skill, shoulder strength, defense) is displayed on one side (left side), and the practice for the pitcher (ball speed, control) , Stamina, and changing sphere) are displayed on the other side (right side). And exercises for both fielders and pitchers (mental) are displayed between them. As described below, with the display positions of each practice arranged in this way, it is possible to identify the best practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck, making it an ideal event for fielder or pitcher training It is possible to intuitively grasp whether a character is incorporated in the event deck. For example, if the protagonist character that the user is trying to train is a pitcher, it is intuitive that the event character incorporated in the event deck is not ideal for pitcher training if many good practices are arranged on the left side. Therefore, the user can easily make a determination such as replacing the event character. In this example, the fielder practice and the pitcher practice are arranged so as to be divided into left and right. Further, for example, the display mode of fielder and pitcher practice may be different. For example, the fielder and the pitcher practice may be color-coded, such as displaying the fielder practice in green and the pitcher practice in red. In this way, for example, if the main character the user wants to train is a fielder, and there are many reds as a good practice, the event character incorporated in the event deck is not ideal for fielder training. Since this can be grasped intuitively, the user can easily make a judgment such as replacing the event character.

  In the good practice area A346, the practice set as the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck and the practice not set as the good practice of the event character built into the event deck are displayed in different display modes. Is displayed. In the example shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, by displaying a cross mark in association with an exercise that is not set as a good practice for an event character incorporated in the event deck, it is set as a good practice for the event character built into the event deck. The practice that has been set is distinguished from the practice that is not set as the best practice for the event character incorporated in the event deck. Note that the method of performing the distinction display is not limited to the cross mark. The display modes of the practice set as the good practice and the practice not set may be made different. For example, the distinction display may be performed by changing the color tone and brightness. In this case, the display of the practice set as the good practice may be brightened and the practice set as the good practice may be displayed darker than that. In this way, since the good practice can be grasped by the brightness of the image, the good practice can be grasped more intuitively.

  In the good practice area A346 shown in FIG. 10, a numerical value (2) is displayed in association with each of “muscle strength” and “shoulder strength”. This numerical value indicates the number of event characters whose practice is set as good practice among the event characters incorporated in the event deck. This number includes the event character of the assistant. The good practice area A346 shown in FIG. 10 indicates that among the event characters incorporated in the event deck, two event characters having “muscle strength” set as good practice are included. Similarly, the good practice area A346 shown in FIG. 10 indicates that among the event characters incorporated in the event deck, two event characters having “shoulder strength” set as good practice are included. . Here, the number of event characters having the same good practice is displayed numerically on the screen, but, for example, an image such as an asterisk mark or icon corresponding to the number of event characters, and the corresponding good practice practice. It may be displayed at any position around it, or may be displayed superimposed on the good practice. In addition, an image that directly shows the number of event characters having the same good practice is not displayed on the screen, and as the number of event characters having the same good practice increases, the brightness of the good practice increases, Effects such as blinking may be strengthened.

  In the good practice area A346, only the practice set as the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck is displayed, and the practice not set as the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck is displayed. You may make it not. In addition, when the event characters incorporated in the event deck include a plurality of event characters for which the same practice is set as a good practice, a plurality of the practice is displayed in the good practice area A346. Also good.

  In the present embodiment, not only the “player” event character but also the “manager” event character can be incorporated into the event deck. Since the “manager” event character is not set for good practice, even if it is incorporated in the event deck, the display of the good practice area A 346 does not change. For example, the best practice area for only four players is displayed in the best practice area A346 of the event deck with four event characters of “player” and one event character of “manager”.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the event deck setting area A340 includes a processing object P343 associated with a process for automatically setting an event deck according to a user's request.

  When the user selects the processing object P343, an automatic setting menu screen image for selecting a hero character training policy is displayed. FIG. 11 shows an example of an automatic setting menu screen image. In the automatic setting menu screen image G700 shown in FIG. 11, it is possible to select either the first training policy “Grow up the hero character as a pitcher” or the second training policy “Grow up the hero character as a fielder”. It has become.

  The automatic setting menu screen image G700 includes a processing object P710. A process for selecting the first breeding policy is associated with the process object P710. In other words, the process object P710 is associated with a process for automatically setting an event deck suitable for raising the main character as a pitcher. That is, when the processing object P710 is selected, for example, an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the pitcher ability, or an event character associated with a practice item for pitcher as a good practice item. It is set as a member of the event deck with priority over other event characters.

  The automatic setting menu screen image G700 also includes a processing object P720. The process object P720 is associated with a process for selecting the second growth policy. In other words, the processing object P420 is associated with processing for automatically setting an event deck suitable for training the main character as a fielder. That is, when the processing object P720 is selected, for example, an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the fielder ability, or an event character associated with a fielder practice item is a good practice item. It is set as a member of the event deck with priority over other event characters.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the user selects a desired option from among a plurality of options displayed on the automatic setting menu screen image G700 (that is, a plurality of options related to the growth policy), so that the desired training is performed. The event deck that matches the policy is automatically set. As a result, the user can easily set an event deck that matches the desired breeding policy.

  In addition, when the “Pitcher” training policy is selected, if there are few event characters that are set as the best practice for the “Pitcher” practice, the event that the “Pitcher” practice is set as the best practice A character may be set in the event deck. On the other hand, when the “fielder” training policy is selected, if there are few event characters for which “fielder” practice is set as good practice, “pitcher” practice is set as good practice. An event character may be set in the event deck. In this case, event characters with high rarity may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck.

  In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 11, one of two training policies “Pitcher” and “Fielder” can be selected, but one of a plurality of training policies related to “Pitcher” is selected. Or, it may be possible to select any of a plurality of development policies related to “fielders”. For example, it may be possible to select an ability that the user attaches importance to from among a plurality of abilities relating to “pitcher” or “fielder”. For example, as a training policy related to “pitcher”, any of “focus on ball speed”, “focus on control”, and “focus on changing ball” may be selected. Further, for example, as a training policy regarding “fielder”, any one of “meeting emphasis”, “power emphasis”, “running ability emphasis”, and “defense emphasis” may be selected.

  In the automatic setting menu screen image G700, a plurality of questions may be presented to the user. Then, event characters that match the answers to the plurality of questions may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck. As described above, a training policy desired by the user may be determined from answers to a plurality of questions, and event characters suitable for the training policy desired by the user may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck. In addition, you may make it present the some question regarding a user's personality diagnosis as said several question. By doing in this way, the event character suitable for raising a hero character so that it may resemble a user's character may be preferentially integrated in an event deck.

  Note that the automatic setting menu screen image G700 also includes a processing object P730 associated with a process for closing the automatic setting menu screen image G700. When the user selects the processing object P730, the automatic setting menu screen image G700 disappears and the event deck setting screen image G300 is displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the event deck setting screen image G300 includes a processing object P350. The process object P350 is associated with a process for completing the setting of the event deck. As shown in FIG. 3, when the event deck setting is completed, a game item is selected. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P350, a screen image for selecting a game item is displayed on the display unit 15.

  In the present embodiment, the user can obtain a game item that is advantageous for increasing the ability of the main character in the success part as a reward or can be obtained from another user. In this screen image, the user selects a game item to be used in the current success part (main part) from among the game items owned by the user. Note that there is an upper limit (for example, two) on the number of game items that can be selected here. The user cannot select game items beyond this upper limit.

  When the selection of the game item is completed, the prepart is completed and the main part is started. In the main part, the scenario selected by the user on the home screen image G100 is started. For example, a scenario in which the main character belongs to a high school baseball club, wins a regular while practicing with teammates, participates in matches (local qualifying tournaments and national tournaments), and aims to become a professional baseball player. Be started.

  An event character incorporated in the event deck appears in the scenario. For example, an event character incorporated in an event deck appears as a teammate of the main character or a manager of a baseball club to which the main character belongs. In this way, the event character owned by the user becomes a character in the scenario by being incorporated in the event deck. Note that the game character incorporated in the event deck may appear in the game as a rival team player, for example.

  In the scenario, predetermined game characters (for example, one manager, one scout, one manager, and four to eight teammate players) are set in advance as characters. These game characters appear in the game even if they are not incorporated into the event deck. For this reason, the event character incorporated in the event deck can be said to be a game character added as a character.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the main part (scenario) includes a plurality of sections. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the main part (scenario) is divided into four sections in time series.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, the scenario is branched. Specifically, sections 3A and 3B are prepared as the third section. Thus, after section 2 is completed, the user can select one of sections 3A and 3B. If the user selects section 3A, section 3A is started, and section 4A is started after section 3A is completed. On the other hand, if the user selects section 3B, section 3B is started, and section 4B is started after section 3B is completed. That is, after the user selects section 3A, it is impossible to move to section 4B, and conversely, after the user selects section 3B, it is impossible to move to section 4A.

  The scenario may be branched only within a specific period. That is, the user may advance to the sections 3B and 4B only within a specific period, and the user may not be allowed to advance to the sections 3B and 4B outside the specific period. In such a case, the sections 3B and 4B indicate that a special event that does not normally occur unless a special event character (for example, an event character with high rarity) is incorporated in the event deck, It may be generated even if it is not incorporated in the deck. In this way, a special event may be generated by proceeding to sections 3B and 4B even for a user who does not own a special event character only within a specific period. Furthermore, if a specific period ends while the user advances the sections 3B and 4B, the sections 3B and 4B can be advanced only for a predetermined period thereafter (for example, one day). May be. Further, the sections after the sections 3A and 3B may be further branched into a plurality of sections. Furthermore, there may be a plurality of sections that can be advanced only within a specific period. Furthermore, when the scenario branches as described above, if the user selects a specific section, the main character can acquire the ability that the event character of the event deck set by the user does not possess when an event occurs. It may be. Further, when the user selects a specific section, the increase amount of the ability parameter when an event occurs may be larger than the normal increase amount due to the event character incorporated in the event deck. In addition, for example, when the user selects a specific section, more coins, gacha points, etc. may be obtained than usual. In the above embodiment, the section 2 is branched to the sections 3B and 4B, and a branch is generated in a part of the four sections. However, a branch always occurs when one section ends. It is good also as a structure. That is, branching may occur in all sections.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, each section includes a plurality of turns. In the example shown in FIG. 3, each section is composed of 12 turns. The number of turns included in a section may vary from section to section.

  For example, one turn corresponds to one week in the game. Each time a turn is completed, the scenario progresses by the virtual time in the game progressing for one week. One turn may correspond to one day or one month in the game.

  When the scenario progresses to the end, the development of the main character is completed. The hero character that has been trained is registered as an original character and can be used in the stadium part. After the main part is completed, another hero character can be raised (that is, another original character is generated) by starting the success part from the beginning again.

  In each turn of the main part, the user selects any one of the options related to the action of the main character as the action to be performed by the main character.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of a main command screen image in the success part. A main command screen image G800 shown in FIG. 12 is a screen image for selecting an action to be performed by the main character.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the progress of the scenario is displayed in the upper area A810 of the main command screen image G800. For example, the current section and the number of turns remaining until the current section ends are displayed. It also displays when the time in the game is. In the example shown in FIG. 12, “August 2 weeks 2 years” is displayed, which indicates that the main character is a second year high school student and the current week is the second week of August.

  In addition, in the upper area A810, the motivation parameter of the main character is also displayed. The motivation parameter is a parameter indicating the motivation (tone) of the main character. For example, the higher the value of the motivation parameter, the higher the hero character's motivation. As will be described later, in the present embodiment, experience points are given to the main character by the main character practicing in each turn (see FIG. 13). At this time, the more motivated the hero character is, the more experience points are given to the hero character.

  In the upper area A810, the number of treasure chests found in the current section is also displayed. As will be described later, in each turn, a treasure box discovery event in which a dog finds and carries a treasure box is generated based on predetermined probability information (see FIG. 14). The number of treasure chests is displayed.

  Further, the upper area A810 includes a gauge area A811 indicating the physical strength parameter of the main character. For example, when the hero character practices, the value of the physical strength parameter decreases, and when the hero character rests from practice, the value of the physical strength parameter increases (recovers). In addition, if the value of a physical strength parameter becomes low, the probability that a hero character will be injured during practice will become high (refer FIG. 13).

  Further, the upper area A810 includes a processing object P812. The processing object P812 is associated with processing for displaying the menu screen image related to the success part. When the user selects the processing object P812, the menu screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. In the menu screen image, for example, the success part can be interrupted.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 12, processing objects P821, P822, P823, and P824 are displayed in the lower area A820 of the main command screen image G800.

  The processing object P821 is associated with processing for displaying the log of the success part (main part), and when the user selects the processing object P821, the log is displayed.

  The processing object P822 is associated with processing for turning on / off the auto function. The auto function is a function for automatically sending the text displayed on the display unit 15. In the main part, text indicating parameter change contents and text indicating conversation between the main character and other game characters are displayed on the display unit 15 (see FIGS. 14 and 15). Usually, in order to send such text, the user needs to tap the display unit 15. However, if the auto function is set to ON, the text is automatically displayed even if the user does not tap the display unit 15. Sent to. The user can turn on / off the auto function by selecting the processing object P822.

  The processing object P823 is associated with processing for turning on / off the skip function. The skip function is a function for automatically sending the text displayed on the display unit 15 at a faster speed than the auto function. When the skip function is set to on, text is automatically sent at a faster speed than the auto function even if the user does not tap the display unit 15. The user can turn on / off the skip function by selecting the processing object P823. However, both the auto function and the skip function cannot be turned on, and only one of them can be turned on.

  The processing object P824 is associated with processing for turning on / off the shortcut function. The shortcut function is a function that omits a part of text related to an event. For example, in the main part, an event in which the main character and another game character have a conversation may occur and a text indicating the conversation may be displayed. However, if the shortcut function is turned on, a part of the text is displayed. Is omitted. The user can turn on / off the shortcut function by selecting the processing object P824.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the main command screen image G800 includes a main character public ability area A830. In the main character ability area A830, values of various basic ability parameters of the main character are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the values of the ballistic parameter, meat parameter, power parameter, running force parameter, shoulder strength parameter, and defensive strength parameter of the main character are displayed.

  The ballistic parameter indicates how high the hit character of the hero character is raised. The higher the value of the ballistic parameter, the higher the hit ball. The meet parameter indicates the meet power of the hero character (ability to hit the bat against the ball thrown by the pitcher). The higher the meet parameter value, the higher the meet force. The power parameter indicates the power of the hero character (the ability to fly away by hitting the ball thrown by the pitcher with a bat). The higher the power parameter value, the easier the ball hit with the bat flies away.

  The running force parameter indicates the speed of the main character's foot. The higher the value of the running force parameter, the faster the foot. The shoulder force parameter indicates the speed of the main character's pitching. The higher the shoulder force parameter value, the faster the pitching. The defensive power parameter indicates the defensive skill of the main character. The higher the defensive power parameter value, the better the defense.

  In addition, since the example shown in FIG. 12 has shown the case where a hero character is a fielder, the basic ability parameter regarding a fielder ability is displayed on the hero public ability area | region A830. When the hero character is a pitcher, basic ability parameters related to the pitcher ability such as a ball speed parameter, a control parameter, and a stamina parameter are displayed in the hero public ability area A830.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, the main command screen image G800 includes a command area A840. Processing objects P841, P842, P843, P844, P845, and P846 are displayed in the command area A840.

  The processing object P841 is associated with processing for causing the hero character to practice, and the user can cause the hero character to practice by selecting the processing object P841. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 13 and 14).

  The processing object P842 is associated with processing for resting the main character, and the user can rest the main character by selecting the processing object P842. When the hero character is rested, the physical strength parameter of the hero character increases (recovers).

  The processing object P843 is associated with a process of visiting the main character, and the user can visit the main character by selecting the processing object P843. For example, when the hero character becomes sick or has a malfunction, the hero character can be cured to cure the illness or malfunction.

  The processing object P844 is associated with processing for playing the hero character, and the user can play the hero character by selecting the processing object P844. Playing the hero character increases the motivation parameter of the hero character.

  The process object P845 is associated with a process for causing the hero character to perform a date, and the user can cause the hero character to perform a date by selecting the process object P845.

  The processing object P846 is associated with processing for improving the ability of the hero character, and the user can improve the ability of the hero character by selecting the processing object P846. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 16 and 17).

  FIG. 13 shows an example of a practice screen image. The practice screen image G900 shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the display unit 15 when the processing object P841 of the main command screen image G800 is selected. Note that the upper area A910 of the practice screen image G900 is the same as the upper area A810 of the main command screen image G800, and a description thereof will be omitted here.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the practice screen image G900 includes a command area A920. In the command area A920, a plurality of processing objects P921, P922, P923, P924, P925, and P926 respectively corresponding to the plurality of practice items are displayed. These processing objects P921 to P926 are associated with processing for causing the main character to perform various exercises.

  The processing object P921 is associated with processing for causing the hero character to perform a batting practice. The processing object P922 is associated with processing for causing the main character to perform strength training. The processing object P923 is associated with processing for causing the hero character to practice scolding. The processing object P924 is associated with processing for causing the main character to practice shoulder strength. The processing object P925 is associated with processing for causing the main character to perform defensive practice. The processing object P926 is associated with processing for causing the main character to perform mental practice.

  For example, when the hero character wants to practice scolding, first, the user selects the processing object P923. In this case, the processing object P923 is temporarily selected. In this state, the processing object P923 is displayed separately from the other processing objects P921, P922, and P924 to P926, indicating that the processing object P923 is temporarily selected. In the example illustrated in FIG. 13, the position of the processing object P923 in the vertical direction of the screen is different from the other processing objects P921, P922, and P924 to P926, and the cursor object C927 is associated with the processing object P923. In this state, the probability of injuries during practice of scolding is displayed in association with the processing object P923. This probability is determined based on the value of the physical strength parameter of the main character. The smaller the value of the hero character's physical strength parameter, the higher the probability of injury during practice.

  The practice screen image G900 also includes an experience point area A930. In the experience point area A930, experience points of the hero character (that is, experience points currently possessed by the hero character) are displayed.

  In this embodiment, five types of experience points are set, such as muscle strength points, agility points, technical points, change ball points, and mental points. FIG. 13 shows a case where the main character's strength point, agility point, technology point, change ball point, and mental point are 3, 5, 4, 0, and 0 points, respectively.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, “+4” and “+15” are displayed in association with the strength point and the agility point, respectively. This indicates that, when the temporarily selected practice item (running practice) is executed, the main character's strength point increases by 4 points and the agility point increases by 15 points.

  In the present embodiment, for each practice item, the types of experience points that increase when the practice is executed and the amount of increase are defined. As described above, the strength points and the agility points increase when the running exercise is performed. Further, for example, when a batting practice is performed, the strength point, the technical point, and the mental point increase.

  A level is set for each practice item. The level of the practice item increases when the number of times of the practice reaches a predetermined number. The higher the practice item level, the greater the amount of increase in experience points when the practice is performed.

  Practice screen image G900 also includes game character area A940. In this embodiment, game characters (teammate, manager, coach, manager) other than the hero character are assigned to each practice item, and game characters other than the hero character are either practicing or watching. Directed to. In this regard, in the game character area A940, the game character assigned to the temporarily selected practice item is displayed. The game character assigned to each practice item changes with each turn.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, the practice character is temporarily selected, so that the game character assigned to the practice practice is displayed in the game character area A940.

  In the game character area A940, a gauge area A941 is displayed in association with the game character. This gauge area A941 shows the evaluation of the main character of the game character. The longer the gauge in the gauge area A941, the higher the evaluation of the main character of the game character. As will be described later, when the main character performs good practice assigned to the game character (that is, when the main character performs the same practice as the game character), the evaluation of the main character of the game character increases (see FIG. 14).

  In the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, “initial evaluation 15” is set as the event bonus for the event character. This event bonus “initial evaluation 15” indicates that the evaluation of the main character of the event character is initially set to a value (15) higher than the normal value (0) at the start of the main part.

  The example shown in FIG. 13 shows a case where an event character (arrow part) incorporated in the event deck is assigned to practice. In other words, the event character (Yabe) incorporated in the event deck is practicing scolding with the main character as a teammate.

  A practice item (skateboard) displayed in association with the event character indicates a good practice of the event character. For this reason, the example shown in FIG. 13 shows a case where the event character is assigned to his / her good practice (skate practice). In other words, it shows a case where the event character is performing his / her best practice (running practice).

  In such a case, when the protagonist character carries out scribble practice, the amount of increase in experience points increases compared to the normal case. In short, when the hero character performs good practice of the event character together with the event character, the amount of increase in the experience points increases compared to the normal case. In other words, in the turn where the event character set as the best practice is assigned to the practice, the amount of experience gained by the main character performing the practice is the best practice. The number of set event characters is larger than the number of turns that are not assigned to practice.

  Further, when the main character performs practice of scolding in the above case, a special tag bonus event may occur if the evaluation of the main character by the event character is higher than a predetermined standard. When a special tag bonus event occurs, the amount of experience points increases compared to when a special tag bonus event does not occur. As described above, when the protagonist character practices good practice of the event character together with the event character that highly evaluates the main character, the amount of increase in the experience points further increases.

  In the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, “special tag bonus 20%” is set as the event bonus of the event character. This event bonus “special tag bonus 20%” indicates that when a special tag bonus event occurs, the amount of increase in experience points is increased by 20%.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, the event character is assigned to the same practice item as his / her best practice, but the event character is not necessarily assigned to the same practice item as his / her best practice. May be assigned to different practice items. Which exercise item the event character is assigned to is determined based on predetermined probability information for each turn.

  In this regard, in the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, “good practice rate up 10%” is set as the event bonus of the event character. This event bonus “up to 10% of good practice rate” indicates that the probability that an event character is assigned to his / her good practice increases by 10%, and the event character is likely to be assigned to his / her good practice.

  If the user further selects the processing object P923 in a state where the practice is temporarily selected (that is, the cursor object C927 points to the processing object P923), the practice exercise is determined as an exercise item to be performed by the main character. The protagonist character performs practice.

  Note that the practice screen image G900 also includes a processing object P950. The process object P950 is associated with a process for returning to the previous screen image displayed. For this reason, when the user selects the processing object P950, the main command screen image G800 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of a practice result screen image. When any practice item is confirmed as a practice item to be performed by the main character, a practice result screen image G1000 shown in FIG. 14 is displayed on the display unit 15. Note that the upper region A1010 and the lower region A1020 of the practice result screen image G1000 are the same as the upper region A810 and the lower region A820 of the main command screen image G800, and thus description thereof is omitted here.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the practice result screen image G1000 includes a text region A1030. Text indicating the practice result of the main character is displayed in text area A1030. That is, the text indicating the change contents of various parameters due to the practice of the hero character is displayed in the text area A1030.

  FIG. 14 shows a practice result screen image G1000 that is displayed when the running practice is selected in the state shown in FIG. 13 (that is, the processing object P923 is selected). In the text area A1030 shown in FIG. 14, the hero character has performed skating exercise, so that the muscle strength point has increased by 4 points, the agility point has increased by 15 points, and the physical strength parameter has decreased by 25 points. It is shown that the evaluation of the assigned character of the event character (Yabe) with respect to the main character has increased by 7 points.

  In the present embodiment, a treasure box discovery event occurs based on predetermined probability information when the hero character practices. As described above, the treasure box discovery event is an event in which a dog finds a treasure box and carries it. When a treasure box discovery event occurs, as shown in FIG. 14, the dog character C1040 that has found the treasure box is displayed on the practice result screen image G1000.

  In each turn of the main part, an event related to the event character is also generated based on predetermined probability information. For example, an event occurs in which the main character talks with the event character or performs special practice with the event character.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of an event screen image. An event screen image G1100 shown in FIG. 15 is displayed on the display unit 15 when an event related to the event character occurs. Note that the upper region A1110 and the lower region A1120 of the event screen image G1100 are the same as the upper region A810 and the lower region A820 of the main command screen image G800, and thus description thereof is omitted here.

  The event screen image G1100 indicates that an event related to the event character has occurred. The event screen image G1100 includes an event information area A1130, and information related to the event that has occurred (such as an event name) is displayed in the event information area A1130. The event character C1140 that is the basis of the occurrence of the event is also displayed on the event screen image G1100.

  The event screen image G1100 also includes a text area A1150. For example, text indicating a conversation between the main character and the event character is displayed in the text area A1150. After that, as shown in FIG. 15, text indicating changes in various parameters due to the occurrence of an event is displayed in the text area A1150. Specifically, in the text area A1150, for example, the fact that an experience point for improving the ability parameter of the hero character has improved due to the occurrence of an event, and tips for the hero character to acquire special abilities are provided. It is shown that it was grabbed. The special ability to grasp the points and tips of experience points is affected by the ability and level of the event character. For example, the larger the numerical value of the event bonus shown in the second tab T422 of the event character screen image G400 in FIG. 7, the larger the numerical value shown in the text area A1150. Or you may make it the numerical value etc. which are shown in text area A1150 become large, so that the rarity degree of each event character is high. Furthermore, when the practice selected by the user is the same as the practice of the event character that appeared in the event, the numerical value or the like shown in the text area A1150 may be increased.

  In the main part, not only an event that occurs based on the probability information, but also an event that always occurs at the timing when the progress of the game reaches the reference may be provided. For example, a predetermined event (for example, a game event) may always occur when the scenario progresses to 10 turns, 20 turns, and 30 turns.

  16 and 17 show an example of the ability change screen image. The ability change screen image G1200 shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 is a screen image for improving the ability of the main character, and is displayed on the display unit 15 when the processing object P846 of the main command screen image G800 is selected.

  The ability change screen image G1200 includes a first area A1210 and a second area A1220. The first area A1210 includes a pitcher ability tab T1211 and a fielder ability tab T1212. The pitcher ability tab T1211 displays changes in basic ability parameters related to the pitcher ability, and the fielder ability tab T1212 displays changes in basic ability parameters related to the fielder ability.

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the fielder ability tab T1212 includes a ballistic parameter, a meet parameter, a power parameter, a running parameter, a shoulder force parameter, a defensive force parameter, and a catching parameter, which are basic ability parameters related to the fielder ability. For each of these, the value before the change and the value after the change are displayed. Ballistic parameters, meat parameters, power parameters, running force parameters, shoulder force parameters, and defensive force parameters are as described above (see FIG. 12). The catching parameter indicates the skill of catching the hero character. The higher the value of the catching parameter, the better the catching (it is less likely to make an error).

  The second area A1220 includes a basic ability tab T1221 and a special ability tab T1222. As shown in FIG. 16, the basic ability tab T1221 displays the experience points (muscle strength points, agility points, technical points, change ball points, mental points) currently possessed by the main character. FIG. 16 shows a state in which the main character currently has strength points, agility points, technical points, change ball points, and mental points of 27 points, 20 points, 24 points, 0 points, and 0 points, respectively. .

  In the basic ability tab T1221, in exchange for some or all of the experience points currently possessed by the hero character, the basic ability parameters (ballistic parameter, meat parameter, power parameter, running force parameter, shoulder force parameter, The value of the defensive power parameter and the catching parameter can be increased.

  In the basic ability tab T1221, the ability value necessary for increasing the value of the basic ability parameter by one point from the current value is displayed in association with each basic ability parameter. The basic ability tab T1221 shown in FIG. 16 indicates that, for example, 30 points of strength points, technical points, and mental points are required to raise the value of the ballistic parameter by 1 point from the current value. In addition, for example, it is shown that two points are required for the strength point, the agility point, and the technical point in order to raise the value of the shoulder force parameter by one point from the current value.

  Further, in the basic ability tab T1221, processing objects P1223-1, P1223-2, P1223-3, P1223-4, P1223-5, P1223-6, and P1223-7 are displayed in association with each basic ability parameter. .

  For example, the processing object P1223-1 is associated with a ballistic parameter, and the processing object P1223-1 is associated with a process for increasing the ballistic parameter by one point in exchange for a predetermined experience point. By selecting the processing object P1223-1, the user can increase the ballistic parameter by one point from the current value in exchange for the strength point: 30 points, the technical point: 30 points, and the mental point: 30 points. . For example, if the main character has all of these experience points, when the user selects the processing object P1223-1, the ballistic parameter increases by 1 point and the necessary experience points are the first. 2 Subtracted from “current experience point” in area A1220. That is, if the main character has sufficient experience values, the ballistic parameter gradually increases by one point each time the user selects the processing object P1223-1, and the necessary experience point is the second. The value is gradually subtracted from the “current experience point” in the area A1220. However, as a matter of course, if the main character does not have all of these experience points, the ballistic parameter cannot be increased. For example, even if 40 strength points and 70 technical point points are held, if the mental point is 10 points, the ballistic parameter cannot be increased. As described above, the parameter that cannot be increased due to insufficient experience points may be notified to the user. For example, in the first area A1210 and the second area A1220, the name of the corresponding parameter or the brightness of the entire line may be lowered.

  When the value of the ballistic parameter increases by 1 point due to the user selecting the processing object P1223-1, this is displayed in the first area A1210.

  Similarly to the processing object P1223-1, the other processing objects P1223-2 to P1223-7 are associated with the meat parameter, the power parameter, the running force parameter, the shoulder force parameter, the defense parameter, and the catching parameter, respectively. Therefore, a process for increasing these parameters by one point in exchange for a predetermined experience point is associated.

  When the user selects the special ability tab T1222 from the state shown in FIG. 16, the state is switched to the state shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, the special ability tab T1222 also displays the experience points (muscle strength points, agility points, technical points, change ball points, mental points) that the main character currently has. Similar to FIG. 16, FIG. 17 shows the strength point, agility point, technology point, change ball point, and spirit point that the hero character currently has are 27 points, 20 points, 24 points, 0 points, and 0 points, respectively. Indicates the state.

  In the special ability tab T1222, the hero character can acquire special abilities in exchange for some or all of the experience points currently held by the hero character. That is, in the special ability tab T1222, the special ability parameter of the hero character can be changed in exchange for part or all of the experience points currently held by the hero character. Here, the special ability parameter is a parameter indicating whether or not the hero character has acquired various special abilities.

  In the example shown in FIG. 16, as special abilities that the main character can acquire, “chance ○”, “left pitcher ○”, “stolen ○”, “running ○”, “throwing ○”, “injury difficulty” ◎ ”and“ Average Hitter ”are displayed.

  “Chance ○” is a special ability that is strong in chance. If the hero character has acquired “chance ○”, the basic ability of the hero character increases during the chance. “To the left pitcher ○” is a special ability that is strong against the left pitcher. If the hero character has acquired “vs. left pitcher”, the basic ability of the hero character increases when the opponent pitcher is the left pitcher. “Stolen ○” is a special ability to improve theft. If the hero character has acquired “Stolen ○”, the hero character is likely to succeed in stealing.

  “Throwing ○” is a special ability that makes it difficult to throw. If the hero character has acquired “throwing ○”, it is difficult for the hero character to throw. “Near injury” is a special ability that rarely causes injury. If the hero character has acquired “Injury difficulty ◎”, the hero character rarely hurts. “Average Hitter” is a special ability that makes it easier to hit hits. If the hero character has acquired “Average Hitter”, the hero character can easily hit.

  In the special ability tab T1222, the ability value necessary for causing the hero character to acquire the special ability is displayed in association with each special ability. In the special ability tab T1222 shown in FIG. 17, for example, 15 points, 30 points, and 105 points are required for agility points, technical points, and mental points, respectively, in order to make the main character acquire “chance ○”. Has been. In addition, for example, it is shown that each of the muscular strength points, the agility points, and the technical points is required to acquire the “ball throwing ○” by the main character.

  In addition, regarding the special ability that the hero character has acquired, it is displayed that it has been acquired. In the special ability tab T1222 shown in FIG. 17, “Injury difficulty” is displayed.

  Further, in the special ability tab T1222, processing objects P1224-1, P1224-2, P1224-3, P1224-4, P1224-5, and P1224-6 are displayed in association with each special ability.

  For example, the processing object P1224-1 is associated with “chance ○”, and the processing object P1224-1 is associated with processing for causing the main character to acquire “chance ○” in exchange for a predetermined experience point. ing. By selecting the processing object P1224-1, the user can acquire “chance ○” for the main character in exchange for 15 points for agility, 30 points for technology, and 105 points for spirit point. However, as a matter of course, if the hero character does not have these experience points, the hero character cannot acquire “chance ○”.

  As with the processing object P1224-1, the other processing objects P1224-2 to P1224-6 are respectively “anti-left pitcher ○”, “stolen ○”, “running ○”, “throwing ○”, and “average”. It is associated with “Hitter” and is associated with processing for causing the main character to acquire these special abilities in exchange for a predetermined experience point. Further, since the hero character has already acquired the special ability “injury difficulty”, a processing object is not associated with “injury difficulty”.

  In the example shown in FIG. 17, “Lv.1” is displayed in association with “running 塁”. Here, “Lv.1” indicates the knack level of “running 塁”.

  The knack level indicates whether or not the hero character has a knack for acquiring special abilities and the degree of knack that the hero character has grabbed. The case where the knack level is 1 or more is a case where the hero character has a knack for acquiring special abilities. The higher the knack level, the greater the knack of the hero character.

  The higher the knack level, the less the experience required to acquire special abilities for the main character. In the state shown in FIG. 17, the number of experience points required to acquire “running 塁” for the main character is less than usual.

  At the beginning of the main part, the trick level for each special ability is set to zero. For example, in the main part, there may be an event (knack event) in which the event character teaches the main character the trick of the special ability. When such a trick event occurs, the trick level of the special ability increases ( (See FIG. 15).

  In the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, “knack event bonus 20%” is set as the event bonus of the event character. When the above-mentioned knack event occurs, the knack level of the special ability increases, and the experience points of the main character related to the special ability increase. The event bonus “knack event bonus 20%” indicates that in such a case, the amount of increase in experience points is 20% higher than usual.

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the ability change screen image G1200 includes a processing object P1230. The process object P1230 is associated with a process for returning to the previous screen image displayed. For this reason, when the user selects the processing object P1230, the main command screen image G800 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  The ability change screen image G1200 also includes a processing object P1240. The processing object P1240 is associated with processing for canceling the change of the ability of the main character and returning to the state before the change. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P1240, the ability of the main character returns to the state before the change.

  The ability change screen image G1200 also includes a processing object P1250. The process object P1250 is associated with a process for determining a change in the ability of the main character. For this reason, when the user selects the processing object P1250, the ability of the main character is fixed in the changed state.

  When each section is completed, a section completion screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. FIG. 18 shows an example of a section completion screen.

  As shown in FIG. 18, in the section completion screen image G1300, an ongoing scenario (for example, A high school) and a completed section (for example, section 2) are displayed. The section completion screen image G1300 also displays experience points obtained so far (total experience points) and experience points obtained in completed sections (section experience points). Furthermore, in the section completion screen image G1300, a reward (for example, a coin or a game item) obtained in the section is also displayed.

  In addition, after the section completion screen image G1300 is displayed, the next notice screen image may be displayed before the next section is started. FIG. 19 shows an example of the next notice screen image.

  In the present embodiment, after the section completion screen image G1300 is displayed and before the next section is started, an event in which the treasure chest discovery probability in the next section is higher than normal occurs based on the predetermined probability information. To do. When the event occurs, a preview screen image G1400 as shown in FIG. 19 is displayed to notify the user that the event has occurred.

  As described above, when the four sections of the success part are completed, the development of the main character is completed and can be used as an original character in a game at the stadium part. For example, when the fourth section is completed, a screen image for determining the ability parameter of the hero character is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user uses the remaining experience value points to set the ability parameter of the hero character. Increase or gain special abilities. Furthermore, in this screen image, the appearance of the main character may be changed. When the user performs a predetermined confirmation operation, the ability parameter of the hero character is confirmed and registered as an original character owned by the user. Once registered as an original character, the user cannot change the ability parameter. Thereafter, the user can check the ability parameters and the like of the newly registered original character, or can add to an order to be described later and enter the game.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the main part is composed of four sections, and each section is composed of twelve turns. It will take time and effort. For this reason, in this embodiment, by dividing the main part into four sections, it is possible to give a motivation to finish the game or take a break once at the end of the section, and the user plays the success part. It is possible to reduce the difficulty. Furthermore, by dividing the main part into a plurality of sections, the next section can be branched at the end of the section, so that the game play can be diversified.

  The user plays four sections in developing the hero character. As shown in FIG. 18, when the section is cleared, information such as experience points is notified to the user in the section completion screen image G1300. Therefore, even in the case of a game including a relatively large number of turns like a success part, the user can play the game without getting bored or feeling delayed. That is, when the user is notified of information such as experience points for the first time after the success part is completed, the user cannot fully grasp the development status of the main character in the middle of the success part and gets bored in the middle. However, if the user is informed of the experience points at the end of the section, the user can be informed frequently of the breeding situation, so that he / she can be prevented from getting bored or feeling extended. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19, since the announcement regarding the next section can be made in the notice screen image G1400, the user can be motivated to try the next section. It is possible to avoid a situation where the part is interrupted.

  Next, before describing the stadium part, processing for confirming an event character owned by the user, organization of an event deck, and the like will be described.

  When the user selects the processing object P123 in the home screen image G100 shown in FIG. 2 or the like, an event character menu screen image for performing various operations related to the event character is displayed on the display unit 15. FIG. 20 shows an example of an event character menu screen image. Note that the upper area A1510, the lower area A1520, and the processing object P130 in the event character menu screen image G1500 shown in FIG. 20 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Also, the processing object P1530 in the event character menu screen image G1500 is for returning to the previous screen image (that is, the home screen image G100), like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. is there.

  An event character menu screen image G1500 illustrated in FIG. 20 includes processing objects P1540 to P1590. The process object P1540 is associated with a process for organizing an event deck. When the user selects the processing object P1540, an event deck editing screen image for editing the event deck is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 21 is an example of an event deck editing screen image. Note that the upper area A1610, the lower area A1620, and the processing object P130 in the event deck editing screen image G1600 shown in FIG. 21 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P1630 in the event deck editing screen image G1600 is for returning to the previous screen image (that is, the event character menu screen image G1500), like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. Is.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the event deck editing screen image G1600 includes an event deck editing area A1640. In FIG. 21, the contents displayed in the event deck editing area A1640 are omitted, and the contents displayed in the event deck editing area A1640 are shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the areas A1641, A1642 processing objects P1642, P1643, the setting frames A1644-1 to A1644-5, and the good practice area A1646 of the event deck editing screen image G1600 are respectively the event deck setting screen image G300. Since this is the same as the areas A341, A342, the processing objects P342, P343, the setting frames A344-1 to A344-5, and the good practice area A346, the description is omitted here. However, since the event deck editing screen image G1600 is not before the start of the success part, there is no corresponding one for the setting frame A345 for incorporating the assistant into the event deck.

  In the present embodiment, the user can own a plurality of (for example, five) event decks. The number of event decks owned by the user may be fixed, or may be increased by consuming power stones. Further, the number of event decks may be increased by completing the development of the main character in the success part. For example, the event deck may be increased by one when the user completes the development of a predetermined number (for example, three) of the main character, or one event deck is acquired when the user completes the development of one main character. It may be increased. At that time, an upper limit (for example, up to seven) may be provided for the number of event decks. Further, the number of event decks given to the user at the start of the game may be set to 1, for example, and gradually increased by the above processing. In the event deck editing screen image G1600, each of the plurality of event decks can be edited. For example, the user sets an event character that is good practice for fielders in the event deck for nurturing fielders, and the practice deck for pitchers is good practice for event decks for nurturing pitchers. Set an event character. Furthermore, it is possible to use only the girls 'event characters on the event deck or only the boys' event characters on the event deck, depending on the main character's training policy and the type of scenario in the success part. Can be used properly. Further, for example, the user sets a special effect character, which will be described later in detail, in an event deck used for a limited-time event.

  Returning to FIG. 20, the processing object P1560 is associated with processing for selling the event character. When the user selects the processing object P1560, unnecessary event characters can be sold and coins can be obtained. The sold event character is not sold to other users, but is simply deleted from the list owned by the user. That is, “sale” in this case means that the event character is released in exchange for coins.

  The process object P1570 is associated with a process for confirming a list of event characters owned by the user. When the user selects the processing object P1570, a list of event characters owned by the user is displayed on the display unit 15. For example, when the user selects the event character processing object displayed in the event character list, the event character screen image G400 can be displayed.

  The process object P1580 is associated with a process for confirming the picture book of the event character. The pictorial book is a list of event characters existing in the game. When the user selects the processing object P1580, a picture book is displayed on the display unit 15. In the pictorial book, an event character that the user has owned can be distinguished from an event character that has not yet been owned. In the pictorial book, information (for example, images and names) of event characters that have not yet been owned may be hidden.

  The process object P1590 is associated with a process for expanding the list of event characters. In the present embodiment, there is an upper limit on the number of event characters that can be owned by the user. For example, the user can increase the upper limit number of event characters that can be owned by the user by consuming power stones.

  The process object P1550 is associated with a process for enhancing the event character. The enhancement here is to increase the level of the event character, which is different from the development of the main character in the success part. The strengthening of the event character is performed in order to improve the effect generated in the success part when the event character is set in the event deck (that is, the hero character is efficiently developed). In the present embodiment, so-called game character composition is performed. That is, an event character to be strengthened (hereinafter referred to as a base character) can be strengthened by consuming another event character (hereinafter referred to as a material character). When the user selects the processing object P1540, a base character selection screen image for selecting a base character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 23 shows an example of a base character selection screen image. The upper area A1710, the lower area A1720, and the processing object P130 in the base character selection screen image G1700 shown in FIG. 23 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P1730 in the base character selection screen image G1700 is the same as the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200, for returning to the previous screen image (that is, the event character menu screen image G1500). Is.

  Base character selection screen image G1700 includes event character list area A1740. The event character list area A1740 is the same as the event character list area A640 of the event character change screen image G600. When the user selects any of the event characters displayed in the event character list area A1740 as a base character, an enhanced screen image for enhancing the base character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 24 shows an example of an enhanced screen image. Here, an enhanced screen image G1800 displayed when “Hayakawa” whose rarity is “R” is selected as the base character is shown. Note that the upper area A1810, the lower area A1820, and the processing object P130 in the enhanced screen image G1800 illustrated in FIG. 24 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100, and thus here. Description is omitted. Also, the processing object P1830 in the enhanced screen image G1800 is for returning to the previous screen image (that is, the base character selection screen image G1700), similar to the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. is there.

  In the example shown in FIG. 24, the base character area A1840 includes a gauge area A1841. In the gauge region A1841, the current experience value of the base character and the acquired experience value necessary for the next level can be identified.

  The material character area A1850 is provided with ten setting frames for setting a material character. When the user selects any of the setting frames of the material character area A1850, a material character selection screen image for selecting a material character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 25 shows an example of the material character selection screen image. Note that the upper area A1910, the lower area A1920, and the processing object P130 in the material character selection screen image G1900 shown in FIG. 25 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Also, the processing object P1930 in the material character selection screen image G1900 is for returning to the previous screen image (that is, the strengthening screen image G1800), like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. is there.

  In the example shown in FIG. 25, the material character selection screen image G1900 includes an event character list area A1940. The event character list area A1940 is the same as the event character list area A640 of the event character change screen image G600. However, as shown in FIG. 25, event characters other than the base character among the event characters owned by the user are displayed in the event character list area A1940. Further, an event character set in the event deck (an event character displayed as “in use” in FIG. 25) or a locked event character may not be selected as a material character.

  In the present embodiment, when the same event character as the base character is set as the material character, the maximum level of the base character can be increased with a given probability. In the event character list area A1940, this probability is displayed over the event character. For example, selecting “Hayakawa” with a rarity “R” as a material character increases the highest level of the base character “Hayakawa” with a probability of 100%, and selects “Hayakawa” with a rarity “PN” as a material character. Then, the highest level of the base character “Hayakawa” increases with a probability of 30%. In the present embodiment, the probability that the highest level increases is determined based on the rarity of the base character and the rarity of the material character. In other words, the probability that the highest level increases is determined based on the relative rarity difference between the base character and the material character. For example, when selecting a material character having a rarity equal to or higher than the rarity of the base character, the probability is 100%, and when selecting a material character having a rarity lower than the rarity of the base character, the probability is less than 100%. For example, for a material character that has a rarity of two or more levels lower than that of the base character, the probability that the highest level will increase may be 0% even if it has the same name as the base character. Further, for example, the probability may be lowered as the rarity of the base character is higher. In this way, the probability that the highest level increases for a heavy user who has a base character with a high rarity can be kept low. The probability may be higher as the rarity of the material character is higher. Furthermore, although the highest level increases one by one, the probability may increase as the current highest level increases from the initial value. That is, the higher the number of times that the highest level of the base character is increased, the higher the probability that the future highest level will increase.

  The user selects 10 or less of the event characters displayed in the event character list area A1940 as material characters. Here, a case will be described in which a plurality of material characters can be selected at once in the event character list area A1940, but material characters may be selected one by one. Further, when the user selects the event character that has already been selected as the material character, the selection as the material character can be canceled.

  The material character selection screen image G1900 includes an area A1950 for displaying a level that increases when the base character is strengthened with the currently selected material character and coins necessary for strengthening. The experience value that the base character can acquire differs depending on the material character. For example, the higher the rarity of the material character, the more experience values that can be acquired and the more coins required. By calculating the experience value and necessary coins that can be acquired by the currently selected material character, the level and coins shown in the area A 1950 are calculated. When the user selects or removes a material character from the event character list area A1940, the display of the area A1950 is updated.

  The material character selection screen image G1900 includes processing objects P1960 and P1970. The processing object P1970 is associated with processing for canceling the selection of the material character. When the user selects the processing object P1970, the selection of the material character is all canceled and the selection of the material character can be performed again. On the other hand, the processing object P1960 is associated with processing for completing selection of a material character. When the user selects the processing object P1960, the screen returns to the enhanced screen image G1800.

  FIG. 26 shows an enhanced screen image G1800 when a material character is selected. As shown in FIG. 26, the material character area 1850 displays the material character selected in the event character list area A1940 of the material character selection screen image G1900. In the example of FIG. 26, the same two “Hayakawa” and “Tsuruya” as the base character are selected as the material characters. As shown in FIG. 26, if the two “Hayakawa” material characters are used, the maximum level of the base character “Hayakawa” can be increased, and the probability is displayed superimposed on the material character “Hayakawa”. ing. On the other hand, “Tsuruya” is not the base character “Hayakawa”, and even if used as a material character, the highest level of “Hayakawa” cannot be increased, so the probability is not displayed. In this way, in the material character area 1850, before strengthening the base character, a material character that can increase the maximum level and a material character that cannot increase the maximum level can be identified. Furthermore, the probability can be identified. Note that when the user selects a material character, as in the area A1950, the level that increases when the base character is strengthened with the current material character and the coins necessary for strengthening are displayed in the base character area A1840. ing.

  The enhanced screen image G1800 includes processing objects P1860 and P1870. The processing object P1870 is associated with processing for canceling the selection of the material character. When the user selects the processing object P1870, the selection of the material character is canceled and the selection of the material character can be performed again. On the other hand, the process object P1860 is associated with a process of executing base character reinforcement. When the user selects the processing object P1860, after executing a predetermined screen effect, an enhancement result window for displaying the enhancement result of the base character is displayed on the display unit 15. If the user has fewer coins than the coins necessary for strengthening the base character, the strengthening is not executed even if the user selects the processing object P1860. In this case, the processing object P1860 may not be selected because it is grayed out.

  FIG. 27 shows the enhancement result window. As shown in FIG. 27, in the reinforcement result window G2000, experience values acquired by the base character, changes in the level of the base character, changes in the maximum level of the base character, and the like are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 27, the base character is at the level indicated by the base character area A1840. Furthermore, when there are multiple material characters that can increase the maximum level of the base character, it is determined whether or not it is possible to increase the maximum level based on a predetermined probability for each of the plurality of material characters. Is done. Here, “Hayakawa” with a probability of increasing the highest level of the base character is selected as 100% and Hayakawa of 30% are selected as the material characters, so the highest level of the base character is definitely increased by 1 and has a probability of 30%. Will increase by one. In the example shown in FIG. 27, “Hayakawa” of 30% succeeds, and the maximum level of the base character is increased by two.

  The processing object P2010 is associated with processing for returning to the enhanced screen image G1800. When the user selects the processing object P2010, the user may return directly to the enhanced screen image G1800, or the enhanced screen when the processing object P441 is selected after the event character screen image G400 of the base character is displayed. You may make it return to the image G1800.

  Next, the stadium part will be described. In the stadium part, the user can play a game using the original character trained in the success part. In the stadium part, there are a game that can be played for any period of time (hereinafter referred to as a normal game) and a game that can be played for a limited time (hereinafter referred to as a game for a limited time event).

  When the user plays a game at the stadium part, the user edits the order of the game. The order is a combination of original characters participating in a game among original characters owned by the user. Here, an order in a normal game and an order in a game for a limited-time event can be edited. When the user selects the processing object P122 in the home screen image G100 of FIG. 2 or the like, a my team menu screen image for editing the order is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 28 shows a my team menu screen image. Note that the upper area A2110, the lower area A2120, and the processing object P130 in the my team menu screen image G2100 shown in FIG. 28 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P2130 in the my team menu screen image G2100 is for returning to the previous screen image (that is, the home screen image G100, etc.), like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. It is.

  My team menu screen image G2100 shown in FIG. 28 includes processing objects P2140 to P2170. The process object P2140 is associated with a process for editing an order in a normal game. When the user selects the processing object P2040, a normal order edit screen image for editing an order in a normal game is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 29 shows a normal order edit screen image. As shown in FIG. 29, the normal order edit screen image G2200 includes a starting order area A2210 and a copy player area A2220. The starting order area A2210 is for designating the original character of the starting order that will appear at the start of the game among the original characters owned by the user. The record player area A2220 is used to designate a record original character that does not appear at the start of the game but can be entered from the middle, among the original characters owned by the user.

  Note that when the user taps the original character displayed in the starting order area A2210 and the refusal player area A2220, an outline of the original character's ability and the like may be displayed. Furthermore, when the user performs a long press operation on the original character displayed in the starting order area A2210 and the copy player area A2220, details such as the ability of the original character may be displayed.

  For example, when the user drags and drops the original character displayed in the starting order area A2210 to the record player area A2220, the original character is displayed in the record player area A2220, and the original character of the drop destination is the starting order area A2210. Is displayed. Conversely, when the user drags and drops the original character displayed in the record player area A2220 to the starting order area A2210, the original character is displayed in the starting order area A2210, and the original character of the drop destination is the record player area. A2220 is displayed. In this way, the user can replace the original character of the starting order with the original character of the copy.

  For example, when the user drags and drops the original character displayed in either the starting order area A2210 or the copy player area A2220 to the drag area A2230, a list of original characters that are neither the starting order nor the copy is displayed. A screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. When the user selects an original character to be placed in the order from the screen image, the original character and the original character dropped in the drag area A2230 can be switched.

  The process object P2240 is associated with a process for automatically setting an order. When the user selects the processing object P2240, the order is automatically set so as to obtain an optimum combination among the original characters owned by the user. For example, the order is automatically set so that an original character having a high ability parameter enters the order with priority. Further, for example, the order is automatically set so that the order is placed in the descending order of the total points of experience points acquired by the original character in the success part.

  The processing object P2250 is associated with processing for returning the order to the original state. The original state is the time before the order is changed in the normal order edit screen image G2200. When the user selects the processing object P2250, the order returns to the order when the normal order edit screen image G2200 is displayed.

  The total force area A2260 indicates the total force in the current order. The meaning of the total power is the same as that described in the area A115 of the home screen image G100. That is, the total power is a value calculated from the ability parameters of the original character in the order, and the higher this value, the easier it is to win the game. When the order is changed, the numerical value indicated by the total force area A2260 also changes.

  The process object P2270 is associated with a process for setting a pitcher appointment method. When the user selects the processing object P2270, a screen image for setting the pitcher's method of use among the original characters owned by the user is displayed on the display unit 15. In this screen image, it is possible to specify an original character that can participate in a game among the pitcher's original characters. Furthermore, among the original characters that can participate in the game, it is possible to designate a method to be used as a pitcher (starter / relay / restraint). Or, in order to participate in a game as a pitcher, when it is necessary to leave a climbing interval by a predetermined number of games, the next available game is displayed.

  The processing object P2280 is for returning to the previous screen image (that is, the my team menu screen image G2100), like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200.

  Returning to FIG. 28, the processing object P2150 is associated with processing for editing the order of the game at the limited-time event. When the user selects the processing object P2150, a limited-time order editing screen image for editing a game order at a limited-time event is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 30 shows a limited-time order edit screen image. The starting order area A2310, the record player area A2320, the drag area A2330, the processing objects P2350, P2370, P2380, and the total strength area A2360 of the limited-time order edit screen image G2300 shown in FIG. This is the same as the starting order area A2210, the record player area A2220, the drag area A2230, the processing objects P2250, P2270, P2280, and the total strength area A2260. However, the limited-time order edit screen image G2300 is different from the normal order edit screen image G2200 in that a score bonus is displayed in the starting order area A2310.

  Here, the score bonus will be described. In a limited-time event, a score bonus that increases the score that can be obtained after the game is given when a game is played with an original character that has been trained by setting a specific event character (hereinafter referred to as a special effect character) on the event deck. It has become so. The special effect character can be said to be an event character in which an effect that does not exist in the normal period occurs in a specific period. That is, the special effect character can be used in a normal period other than the specific period, but the effect generated in the specific period does not occur in the normal period. Whether or not the event character is a special effect character may be identified by the event deck setting screen image G300, the event character change screen image G600, or the like.

  FIG. 31 shows an example of an event deck setting screen image G600 during a limited-time event. As shown in FIG. 31, in the event character list area A640, an event character that is a special effect character displays information indicating the degree of effect. For example, a score bonus of “5%” is generated when an original character trained with “Yamaguchi” in the event deck is used in a game. Similarly, if an original character trained with “R Tsuruya” with “R” in the event deck is used in a game, a score bonus of “3%” will be generated, and “Tsuriya” with “N” will be displayed. It is shown that a score bonus of “2%” is generated when an original character trained with “” in the event deck is used in a game. Thus, the degree of the score bonus may vary depending on the rarity.

  If the event deck contains multiple special effects characters, if the original characters trained using this event deck are used in a limited-time event game, the total score bonus for each of these multiple special effects characters The score may be increased by that amount, or only the character having the highest score bonus among the plurality of special effects characters may be reflected.

  In addition, when a special effect character is incorporated into an event deck and a success part is played, an effect corresponding to the special effect character may be generated, and it may be advantageous to train a hero character. Further, the effect in the success part may be generated only for a specific period. That is, the effect generated by the special effect character is not limited to the stadium part but may be generated in the success part.

  FIG. 32 shows an example of the event deck setting area A340 of the event deck setting screen image G300 during a limited-time event. As shown in FIG. 32, information indicating the degree of effect is displayed in a setting frame A344-4 in which an event character that is a special effect character is incorporated in the event character list area A640. That is, since “Yamaguchi” which is a special effect character is incorporated in the setting frame A344-4, “5%” which is a score bonus of “Yamaguchi” is displayed. If a plurality of special effects characters are included in the event deck, the total value of score bonuses generated by the plurality of special effects characters may be displayed in the event deck setting area A340.

  In the limited-time event, when the cumulative score acquired by the user exceeds the reference value, a reward is given to the user. As this reference value, a plurality of reference values may be determined in stages. And you may make it the reward provided when the reference value is exceeded, so that there are many reference values. Furthermore, the ranking of the user may be determined based on the cumulative score when the limited-time event ends, and a reward corresponding to the ranking may be given to the user.

  FIG. 33 shows conditions for generating a score bonus. In the example of FIG. 33, the special effect characters are “E3” and “E8”. As shown in FIG. 33, since the original character “P1” includes “E3” in the event deck used in the success part, a score bonus is generated when the original character “P1” is placed in the game order of the limited-time event. Similarly, since the original character “P3” includes “E3” and “E8” in the event deck used in the success part, a score bonus is generated when the original character “P3” is included in the order for a limited-time event game. On the other hand, since the original character “P2” does not include a special effect character in the event deck used in the success part, a score bonus does not occur even if it is included in the game order of the limited-time event.

  Returning to FIG. 30, in the starting order area A2310, the value of the score bonus for each original character placed in the order and the total value of the score bonus that can be generated in the current order are displayed. Note that the score bonus may be generated only for the original character of the starting order, or may be generated for both the original character of the starting order and the copy.

  The processing object P2340 is the same as the processing object P2240 in that it is for automatically determining an order. However, when the user selects the processing object P2340, it is possible to select whether the order is determined with priority on the score bonus or the order is determined with priority on the ability. When the order is determined with priority on the score bonus, the order is automatically determined with priority on the value of the score bonus assigned to the original character. When giving priority to ability, it is the same as when processing object P2240 is selected.

  Returning to FIG. 28, the processing object P2160 is associated with processing for displaying a list of original characters owned by the user. The user can check a list of original characters owned by the user before editing the order. The processing object P2170 is associated with processing for editing an original character owned by the user. The user can edit the name and appearance of the original character. However, the ability parameters of the original character whose success part has been trained are fixed and cannot be edited.

  The user edits the order as described above and plays the stadium part. For example, in the home screen image G100 shown in FIG. 2, when the user selects the processing object P150, the home screen image G100 is switched to the display of the stadium part.

  FIG. 34 shows a home screen image G100 when the processing object P150 is selected. The process object P151 shown in FIG. 34 is associated with a process for playing a normal game, and the process object P152 is associated with a process for playing a game for a limited time event. When the user selects one of the processing objects P151 and P152, the selected processing object is displayed in the center of the home screen image G100.

  In the example shown in FIG. 34, when the user selects the processing object P151 while the processing object P151 is displayed in the center, a normal game is executed. On the other hand, when the user selects the processing object P152 in a state where the processing object P152 is displayed in the center, a limited-time event game is executed. As will be described below, the flow of the game of the normal game and the limited-time event are the same.

  FIG. 35 shows the flow of a normal game and a limited-time event game. As shown in FIG. 35, when the user selects the processing objects P151 and P152, a screen image showing a plurality of opponent candidates is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user selects an opponent from among the plurality of opponent candidates. Select (S2). The opponent candidate is a team of another user. For example, another user's team that resembles the user's rank and the team's overall strength is selected as an opponent candidate.

  When the opponent is selected, a screen image for changing the order is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user can change the contents of the order of the normal game or the game of the limited-time event ( S4). This screen image is the same as the normal order edit screen image G2200 or the limited-time order edit screen image G2300.

  When the order of the game is determined, the tone of the original character included in the order is determined (S6). The tone is randomly assigned to each original character of the order in any of a plurality of levels (for example, 6 levels). The better the condition, the better the ability parameters of the original character and the better the performance.

  The user selects a game item to be used in a game from among the owned game items (S8). The game items that can be selected here are those that advantageously advance the game or increase the score that can be acquired in the game.

  When the user selects a game item, the game starts (S10). The game may automatically proceed from the start to the end, or only when a predetermined scene is reached, the user may be allowed to operate the original character that is participating. Furthermore, you may make it make a user operate all the scenes of a game.

  When the game is over, a screen image indicating the result of the game is displayed on the display unit 15 (S12). As a result of the game, the winning / losing of the game, the score of each team, and the score acquired by the user are displayed on the screen image. The score is determined based on the content and result of the game. However, a score that is better operated by the user is given than when the game is automatically advanced. For example, if the original character hits or hits a home run based on the user's operation, the user is given a higher score than if the same original character hits or hits the home run automatically by making the match progress It has come to be.

  When the result of the game is displayed, the latest ranking of the user is displayed on the display unit 15 (S14). The ranking may be determined based on the cumulative value of the scores acquired in the game, or the ranking may be determined based on the maximum score acquired in the current or past game. As described above, in the case of a limited-time event game, if the original character with a score bonus is included in the order, the score calculated by the same calculation method as the normal game is increased by the score bonus. It will be. For example, when a game for a limited time event is played with the order shown in FIG. 30, the score increases by 14% compared to the case where the same result is left in a normal game.

  As described above, the user aims to increase the ranking by playing the stadium part and acquiring a score. The ranking is changed every predetermined period. The predetermined period may be one week or one day or one month. Further, the highest score obtained by the play of the stadium part performed by each user during a predetermined period (for example, one week) may be confirmed on the display unit 15. When each user gives the highest score within a predetermined period, the score displayed on the display unit 15 is overwritten. When the predetermined period ends, the score is cleared and the highest score in the next predetermined period is newly displayed. In this embodiment, when the highest score given by the user during this predetermined period is extracted by the friend's user, a challenge letter is automatically received from the friend. It is notified to the user that a challenge letter has arrived from a friend by displaying it as a processing object P170 in FIG. In addition, when challenge letters arrive from a plurality of friends, the number of challenge letters may be notified on the same screen. Note that the user terminal 10 of the friend can confirm that a challenge letter has been sent to the user. That is, the friend's user terminal 10 notifies the friend that a challenge has been sent. The challenge is not limited to the score, and may be delivered when any evaluation or evaluation value on the game, such as ranking, is omitted. Alternatively, the score value may be the same value, or when rankings are arranged, that is, when the user is caught up by a friend, the score value may be reached. The challenge may be exchanged for all friends of a user or only for some friends. In this case, for example, only friends having the same rank as or close to the rank of the user may be targeted. Alternatively, based on the closeness between the user and the friend (for example, set based on the number of battles, chat history, etc.), only a friend with a closeness of a predetermined level or more may be the target of the challenge.

FIG. 36 is an explanatory diagram of a challenge. The t axis shown in FIG. 36 is a time axis. Here, it is assumed that user A and user B have a friendship. At a certain time point t ₁ , the user A has acquired a score of 150,000 points, and at a time point t ₂ after the time point t ₁ , the user B has acquired a score of 120,000 points. When user B plays the stadium part, obtains a score of 180,000 points and overtakes user A, a challenge letter is automatically sent from user B to user A.

  When the challenge is sent, as shown in FIG. 34, a processing object P170 for playing against the friend who sent the challenge is displayed on the home screen image G100. Information (user name or the like) that can recognize the friend who sent the challenge letter may be displayed on the processing object P170. Here, when challenge letters from a plurality of friends have arrived, the number may be displayed in the vicinity of the processing object P170 or superimposed thereon. For example, if three challenge letters have arrived, the number 3 is displayed. The method of notifying the number of challenge letters is not limited to the method of displaying numbers, but may be notified by the number of images. When the user selects the processing object P170, a battle with a friend who has sent a challenge is performed. Since this battle is mainly performed for the purpose of promoting competition with friends, the game ticket may not be consumed, and medals may not be obtained.

  The challenge may be restricted so that a new challenge cannot be sent to the same friend until a predetermined time has elapsed. For example, a new letter of challenge may be prevented from being sent after 3 hours have passed. Further, the challenge may have an expiration date (for example, one day) in which it can be used. The reason for setting an expiration date on the challenge is to prevent too many challenges for each user. When the expiration date has passed, the processing object P170 in FIG. 34 is deleted. When there are a plurality of challenge letters, the number of challenge letters written together with the processing object P170 is sequentially reduced as the expiration date of each challenge letter expires. By doing in this way, it can prevent that many challenge letters accumulate for a user.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when a friend overtakes the user's score, a challenge letter arrives and it is possible to play against the friend, thereby giving the opportunity to pick up the friend. You may make it give. As this privilege, what is necessary is just for a user to put out a good score in a stadium part. In other words, any privilege that affects the relationship (difference) between the user's score and the friend's score may be used. For example, by giving a user a chance to play a game by giving a game ticket, an opportunity to return a friend's score may be given. In addition, for example, it may be a privilege for the user to put out a good score by advantageously proceeding with the game. In this case, it may be a game item that decreases the ability parameter of the opponent or a game item that increases the ability parameter of the user's original character. By using these game items, the opponent becomes weak or the user's original character becomes strong, so that the user can easily obtain a good score in the game. That is, by giving these game items to the user, the user may be given an opportunity to pull back the friend's score.

  As described above, the game system 1 has various technologies. For example, the game system 1 displays the bonus detail screen image G500, thereby causing an event character level and an effect generated at the success part. And has a technology that makes it easy to grasp the correspondence relationship. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a first technique.

  In addition, the game system 1 sets various event characters to the event deck by giving a score bonus when placing an original character that has been nurtured by setting a special effect character on the event deck and placing a game in a limited-time event. Has technology to motivate. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a second technique.

  In addition, the game system 1 is an event deck in which the best practice is selected by the success part by displaying the best practice of the event character set in the event deck in the good practice area A346, A1646. It has technology that makes it easy to know if there is any. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a third technique.

  In addition, when the user selects a normal scenario, the game system 1 prevents the original character from acquiring a super special ability unless an event character with high rarity is set in the event deck, When a scenario is selected, the original character can acquire a super special ability even if the event character is not set in the event deck. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a fourth technique.

  In addition, the game system 1 has a technique for promoting competition among users by receiving a letter of challenge when a user passes a score by a friend user. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a fifth technique.

  Hereinafter, the details of the first technique to the fifth technique will be mainly described.

[3. Functions realized in game system 1]
FIG. 37 is a functional block diagram showing functions related to the present invention among the functions realized by the game system 1. In the present embodiment, a case where main processing related to a game is executed by the user terminal 10 will be described. Also good.

  Of the functions realized in the server 30, the data storage unit 3000 is realized mainly by the storage unit 32, and the other functions are realized mainly by the control unit 31. Of the functions realized in the user terminal 10, the individual data storage unit 1000 is realized mainly by the storage unit 12, and the other functions are realized mainly by the control unit 11.

  First, functions common to the first technique to the fifth technique will be described, and then functions related to the first technique to the fifth technique will be described. Here, the data storage unit 3000, the processing unit 3010, the individual data storage unit 1000, and the request unit 1010 will be described as functions common to the first to fifth technologies.

  The data storage unit 3000 stores data necessary for a game executed in the game system 1. Here, as an example of data stored in the data storage unit 3000, a user table TBL301, an event character table TBL302, an event deck table TBL303, an original character table TBL304, and an order table TBL305 will be described.

  FIG. 38 shows an example of the user table TBL301. As shown in FIG. 38, the user table TBL301 is a data table indicating information regarding each user. For example, the user table TBL301 includes fields described below.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for specifying a user. The “profile” field indicates user registration information such as a user name and a self-introduction sentence.

  The “friend” field indicates identification information for specifying another user who has a friendship with the user. For example, each user can make a friend application to make a friendship with another user. For example, the user A performs an operation for making a friend application at the end of the success part with respect to the user B who owns the event character set in the event deck as an assistant at the success part. When the user B performs an operation for approving the friend application, the user A and the user B are in a friend relationship, the user ID of the user B is stored in the “friend” field of the user A, and the “friend” field of the user B is stored. The user ID of user A is stored. The operation for approving the friend application can be performed from, for example, a screen image displayed when the processing object P130 is selected.

  The “user parameter” field indicates various parameters associated with the user. This parameter may be used in a success part or a stadium part, or may be used for acquiring a game item. For example, the “user parameter” field indicates a success point, a game ticket, a power stone, a mini stone (a game item that can be exchanged for a power stone when a predetermined number is collected), a coin, a gacha point, and a medal. For parameters that recover after a predetermined time, such as success points or game tickets, the remaining time until recovery may be stored. In addition, for example, the rank of the current order and the total power of the order may be stored in the “user parameter” field.

  The “item” field indicates a game item owned by the user. The “stadium” field indicates the result (match result) of the game in the stadium part, the score obtained by the user (cumulative score / highest score), and the current ranking of the user. In this embodiment, since there are a normal game and a limited-time event game, a result, a score, and a ranking are stored for each. The “challenge” field indicates a game task and a user achievement status in the challenge part.

  The “Challenge” field indicates the challenge received by the user from the friend. When the user receives a challenge from a friend, the user ID of the friend is stored in the “challenge” field. In the “challenge letter” field, time information regarding the challenge letter may be stored. This time information indicates, for example, the time when a friend overtakes the user's score or the expiration date of the challenge. The user may be able to play against a friend using a challenge letter within a time limit determined based on time information. Challenges that have expired may be deleted from the “challenge” field.

  FIG. 39 shows an example of the event character table TBL302. As shown in FIG. 39, the event character table TBL302 is a data table indicating a list of event characters owned by each user. For example, the event character table TBL302 includes fields described below.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for specifying a user. The “event character ID” field indicates identification information for specifying an event character owned by the user. The “name” field indicates the name of the event character. The “lock” field indicates whether or not the event character is locked. The “leader” field indicates identification information for specifying an event character set in the leader.

  The “rareity” field indicates the rarity of the event character. The meaning of rarity is the same as rarity. The “rareness” is an aspect other than the aspect described in the present embodiment, for example, “1, 2,...”, “A, B,...”, “Gold, silver,. It is also possible to express by

  The “attribute” field indicates an attribute (classification) of the event character. For example, any of a plurality of types of attributes is associated with each event character. Here, each event character has an attribute of “player”, “manager”, or “strengthening material”. Event characters having the attribute of “player” can participate in a match during a success part and contribute to victory. On the other hand, an event character having an attribute of “manager” or “strengthening material” does not participate in a match during a success part. For this reason, data is not stored in the “position” field, the “specific practice” field, or the like of the event character having the attribute of “manager” or “reinforcement material”. Instead, the event character of the “manager” attribute has a higher value in the “event power” field than the event character of the “player” attribute, or the event character of the “reinforced material” attribute is used for reinforcement. And more experience values than event characters with the attributes of “player” and “manager”.

  The “position” field indicates a baseball position that the event character is good at. The “good practice” field indicates practice items that the event character is good at. The “gender” field indicates the gender of the event character. For example, in the success part, only a male or female event character may be set in the event deck for a specific scenario.

  The “experience value” field indicates the experience value of the event character. The “level” field indicates the level of the event character. The “highest level” field indicates the upper limit value of the level of the event character. The “profile” field indicates the profile information of the event character.

  The “event” field indicates event information related to an event associated with the event character. In other words, the “event” field indicates event information regarding an event that may occur in the game when the event character is incorporated in the event deck. The event information is information indicating the name and content of the event. For example, the event information includes information related to the type and amount of experience points or ability parameters given to the main character due to the occurrence of the event. Note that information indicating the probability or condition of occurrence of an event may be stored in the “event” field.

  The “bonus” field indicates bonus information related to the bonus associated with the event character. In other words, the “bonus” field indicates bonus information related to a bonus that occurs in the game when the event character is incorporated in the event deck. The bonus information is information indicating the name and content of the bonus. For example, when an event character is incorporated into an event deck and the occurrence probability of a specific event is increased, the bonus information includes information indicating the event and information indicating the degree of increase in the occurrence probability. For example, a level and an acquisition bonus are associated with the “bonus” field.

  The “ability parameter” fold indicates an ability parameter of the event character. For example, when a game event occurs in the success part, an event character incorporated in the event deck participates in the game as a teammate of the main character. When such a match event is executed, the ability parameter of the event character is referred to.

  The “event power” field indicates event power, which is an index that is advantageous when an event character is set in the event deck. The “player ability” field indicates a player ability, which is an index of the ability of the event character as a player.

  FIG. 40 shows an example of the event deck table TBL303. As shown in FIG. 40, the event deck table TBL303 is a data table indicating the state of the event deck of each user. For example, the event deck table TBL303 includes fields described below.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for specifying a user. The “name” field indicates the name of the event deck. In this embodiment, the user can own a plurality of event decks, and a name can be set for each event deck.

  The “first setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-1 of the event deck setting area A340. When the event character is not set in the setting frame A 344-1, the “first setting frame” field is blank. Similarly, the “second setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A 344-2. The “third setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-3. The “fourth setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-4. The “fifth setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-5.

  FIG. 41 shows an example of the original character table TBL304. As shown in FIG. 41, the original character table TBL304 is a data table showing a list of original characters trained by each user or the main character being trained. For example, the original character table TBL304 includes fields described below.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for specifying a user. The “original character ID” field indicates identification information for specifying the original character or the main character being trained. The “name” field indicates the name of the original character or the main character being trained. The “position” field indicates a baseball position where the original character or the main character being trained is good.

  The “ability parameter”, “physical fitness parameter”, “motivation parameter”, “experience point”, and “evaluation” fields are the ability parameter, physical strength parameter, motivation parameter, experience point of the original character or the main character being trained, And evaluations from other characters. Since the original character has been trained, the “physical strength parameter”, “motivation parameter”, “experience point”, and “evaluation” fields may be blank. Further, in the “experience point points” field, together with the experience point points remaining at the present time, the total value of the experience point points acquired by the success part may be stored.

  The “event deck” field indicates the contents of the event deck used when the original character or the main character being trained is trained. In the success part, the event character of another user's leader can be added as an assistant, so that the event character ID of the event character set in the event deck set by the user and the event character of the assistant are “ It will be stored in the “event deck” field.

  The “training status” field indicates the current training status. That is, the “training status” field indicates whether the training is completed or is being trained. Further, in the case of training, the “training status” field may also indicate the current in-game time. Furthermore, the “nurturing status” field may store the trick level of the main character.

  The data stored in the original character table TBL304 is not limited to the above example. For example, basic information (an image showing a figure or a high school from which the figure appears) regarding the original character or the main character being trained may be stored in the original character table TBL304. In addition, for example, the knack level that changes during the success part and the state of the main character may be stored in the original character table TBL304.

  FIG. 42 shows an example of the order table TBL305. As shown in FIG. 42, the order table TBL305 is a data table indicating the contents of the order set by the user. The order table TBL305 includes fields described below.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for specifying a user. The “order type” field indicates the type of order. Here, information indicating whether the order is a normal order or a limited-time event is stored. The “order” field stores an original character ID included in the order.

  The data stored in the data storage unit 3000 is not limited to the above example. The data storage unit 3000 may store data necessary for the game. For example, the data storage unit 3000 may store master data of event characters. For example, the data storage unit 3000 may store various image data. For example, the data storage unit 3000 may store data indicating the relationship between each goal and reward in the challenge part. Further, for example, data indicating the contents of each scenario may be stored. Further, for example, data indicating the relationship between the special effect character and the score bonus may be stored. For example, the data storage unit 3000 may store user setting information in association with the user ID. The setting information includes, for example, an auto flag indicating the selection contents of the processing object P822 of the main command screen image G800, a skip flag indicating the selection contents of the processing object P823, and a shortcut flag indicating the selection contents of the processing object P824.

  In response to a request from the user terminal 10, the processing unit 3010 acquires data related to the user of the user terminal 10 among the data stored in the data storage unit 3000 and transmits the data to the user terminal 10. Update data.

  For example, it is assumed that the request from the user terminal 10 includes a user ID. When the above request is received by the server 30, the processing unit 3010 acquires data stored in association with the received user ID from the data storage unit 3000 and transmits the data to the user terminal 10. For example, the processing unit 3010 acquires event character data stored in association with the user ID from the event character table TBL 302 and transmits the event character data to the user terminal 10. Similarly, the processing unit 3010 acquires event deck data and original character data stored in association with the user ID from the event deck table TBL303 and original character table TBL304, and the event deck data and original character data are acquired from the user terminal 10. Send to.

  When the above request is received by the server 30, the processing unit 3010 is notified from the user terminal 10 of data stored in the data storage unit 3000 (that is, data stored in association with the received user ID). Update according to the updated contents.

  The individual data storage unit 1000 is for storing data related to the user of the user terminal 10 among the data stored in the data storage unit 3000.

  The request unit 1010 acquires data related to the user of the user terminal 10 from the data stored in the data storage unit 3000 and stores the data in the individual data storage unit 1000 or stores the data in the individual data storage unit 1000. When the data to be updated is updated, the data stored in the data storage unit 3000 is also updated in the same manner.

  The request unit 1010 requests the server 30 to return data stored in association with the user ID by transmitting the user ID of the user of the user terminal 10 to the server 30 at a predetermined timing. The “predetermined timing” is, for example, the timing when the game program is started, the timing when the home screen image G100 is displayed, or the timing when the success part is started.

  When the data returned from the server 30 is received by the user terminal 10, the request unit 1010 stores the data in the individual data storage unit 1000.

  For example, the request unit 1010 stores the event character data returned from the server 30 in the event character table TBL302 included in the individual data storage unit 1000. The event character table TBL302 is a data table for storing only the event characters of the user of the user terminal 10, and is a data table including fields similar to the event character table TBL302 shown in FIG. 39, for example. (The “User ID” field may be omitted).

  Further, the request unit 1010 stores the event deck data returned from the server 30 in the event deck table TBL303 included in the individual data storage unit 1000. The event deck table TBL303 is a data table for storing only the user's event deck of the user terminal 10, and is a data table including fields similar to the event deck table TBL303 shown in FIG. 39, for example. (The “User ID” field may be omitted).

  Further, the request unit 1010 stores the original character data returned from the server 30 in the original character table TBL304 included in the individual data storage unit 1000. Note that the original character table TBL304 is a data table for storing only the original character of the user of the user terminal 10, and is, for example, a data table including fields similar to the original character table TBL304 shown in FIG. (The “User ID” field may be omitted).

  The data stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 is referred to or updated during the execution of the baseball game. When the data stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 is updated, the request unit 1010 notifies the server 30 of the updated content together with the user ID of the user of the user terminal 10 at a predetermined timing, thereby storing the data. Similarly, the data stored in the unit 3000 is requested to be updated. The “predetermined timing” is, for example, a timing every predetermined time or a timing when the user ends play.

[3-1. About the first technology]
Next, functions according to the first technique will be described. For example, the first technique includes a first game execution unit 1020, a first effect generation unit 1021, a change target selection unit 1030, a level change unit 1040, a use target selection unit 1050, an effect display control unit 1060, a data acquisition unit 1070, It is realized by a change target display control unit 1080, a material character selection unit 1090, an upper limit release determination unit 1100, a permission unit 1110, a condition display control unit 1120, an event power display control unit 1130, and a player ability display control unit 1140.

  The first game execution unit 1020 executes a success part in which the ability parameter of the main character is changed or set based on a user operation. The first game execution unit 1020 executes a baseball game program, and updates various data related to the success part (for example, the original character table TBL304).

  For example, the first game execution unit 1020 executes a success part including a game in which a game task is set based on the main character and the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050.

  The “game task” here is a task (mission) determined in the game, for example, winning a battle. In the “game task”, a hero character and an event character set in the event deck are used. When the result of the game processing executed based on these is a predetermined result, the “game task” is achieved. For example, the “game task” is achieved when the score (points) acquired by the user in the battle is greater than that of the opponent. Winning a match at a success part is an example of a game task.

  The “success part including a game for which a game task is set” means that there is a game for which a game task is set as a part of the success part. For example, when winning in a battle corresponds to a game task, the success part includes a battle game as a part. For example, when the progress status of the success part becomes a predetermined status, a game in which a game task is set can be played.

  For example, the first game execution unit 1020 excludes a specific event character from among a plurality of event characters even if it is selected by the use target selection unit 1050 with respect to achievement of the game task.

  This “specific event character” may be anything that is determined not to be used for the game task. In this embodiment, the value of the “attribute” field is “manager”. “Excluded with respect to achievement of game task” means not contributing to achievement of the game task. For example, it means that the game task is not used in the set game. In other words, even if the “manager” event character is set in the event deck, it does not participate in the match in the success part.

  The change target selection unit 1030 selects one of a plurality of event characters as a change target based on a user operation. The “change target” is an event character that is a target for changing the level parameter. In the present embodiment, the base character corresponds to a “change target”.

  For example, as shown in the base character selection screen image G1700 (FIG. 23), identification information for identifying each of the plurality of event characters is displayed on the display unit 15, from which the change target selection unit 1030 is displayed by the user. Select one or more based on the operation. “Identification information” is, for example, an image representing an event character. In the present embodiment, the processing object of each event character displayed in the event character list area A1740 corresponds to “identification information”.

  In this embodiment, the user directly selects the base character, but the user selects only the selection condition for selecting the base character, and the base character is selected based on the selection condition. You may make it do. The selection condition is, for example, good practice of event characters. In this case, when the user selects an exercise that is regarded as important in the success part, any one of the event characters for which the exercise is set as a good practice may be selected as the base character. In this way, an event character effective for efficiently performing the practice that the user regards as important is selected as the base character, so that the user does not have to search for the base character one by one. In such a case, a plurality of selection conditions for selecting one or more event characters are determined, and the change target selection unit 1030 selects one or more based on the selection conditions selected by the user. It will be. The selection condition may be a condition related to the level of the event character or an effect generated in the game.

  The level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the event character selected by the change target selecting unit 1030. For example, the level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the event character selected by the change target selecting unit 1030 based on another game object.

  The “other game object” is a game object that is not the main character object but is not the event character selected by the change target selection unit 1030. The “other game object” may be other than the event character selected by the change target selection unit 1030 among the plurality of event characters, or may be a third game object that is neither the main character nor the event character. Good. It can be said that the third game object is a game object for changing the level parameter. For example, the third game object can be said to be a game object dedicated to strengthening an event character. For example, another game object may be selected based on a user operation or may be automatically selected. In the present embodiment, the material character corresponds to “another game object”.

  For example, the level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter by increasing the experience value parameter of the base character using the material character. In the present embodiment, when the experience value parameter or the level parameter changes, the material character is consumed (disappeared). For example, the amount of change in the experience value parameter and the level parameter differs depending on the material character. In this case, the association between the material character and the change in the experience value parameter or the level parameter is stored in the storage unit. The experience value parameter and the level parameter change based on a change associated with the material character. For example, when the “attribute” field of the material character indicates “enhanced material”, the amount of increase of the level parameter may be increased by increasing the experience value parameter that can be acquired compared to the case of indicating other attributes. Good.

  In this embodiment, a case where the level parameter of the base character is changed by using the material character will be described. However, the level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the base character based on a predetermined parameter. May be. In this case, the level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the event character selected by the change target selecting unit 1030 based on the parameter for changing the level. The parameter for changing the level may be, for example, a “power injection point” that the user can acquire in the game. In this case, the level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the base character by injecting the “power injection point” into the base character.

  As described above, each of the plurality of event characters is restricted so that the level parameter of the event character does not fall within a predetermined range. “Restrict so that the level parameter does not fall within a predetermined range” is to prohibit the level parameter from being within the predetermined range. That is, the level parameter of each event character is limited so as not to be larger than the maximum level.

  The usage target selection unit 1050 selects at least one of a plurality of event characters as a usage target. The “use target” is a game object to be used in the game, and is a game object that produces an effect in the game. In the present embodiment, setting in the event deck corresponds to selecting as a use target.

  For example, the use target selection unit 1050 selects an event character based on a user operation. In this case, as shown in the event character change screen image G600 (FIG. 9), identification information for identifying each of the plurality of event characters is displayed on the display unit 15, and the use target selection unit 1050 can select the user from among them. One or more are selected based on the operation. “Identification information” is, for example, an image representing an event character. In the present embodiment, the processing object of each event character displayed in the event character list area A640 corresponds to “identification information”.

  Further, for example, the use target selection unit 1050 may automatically select an event character based on a predetermined condition. For example, the use target selection unit 1050 selects an event character based on the level parameter. For example, when a plurality of types of effects occur in the game, the use target selection unit 1050 selects an event character that generates the effect selected by the user. In addition, for example, the use target selection unit 1050 may automatically select based on the level parameter or the rarity parameter of the event character.

  The first effect generating unit 1021 generates an effect on the success part related to the change or setting of the ability parameter of the main character based on the level parameter of the event character selected by the use target selecting unit 1050. For example, the first effect generating unit 1021 changes the effect based on the level parameter of the event character selected by the use target selecting unit 1050. For example, the “bonus” field of the event character table TBL302 stores data in which the level parameter and the content of the effect are associated with each other, so the first effect generating unit 1021 has the content associated with the level parameter. The effect is generated in the success part.

  For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 displays the effect associated with the parameter range to which the value from the initial value of the level parameter of the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050 to the current value among the plurality of parameter ranges belongs. Will be generated. The “parameter range to which the value from the initial value of the level parameter belongs to the current value” means the value from the initial value (for example, 1) of the level parameter to the current value (for example, 50) (for example, each numerical value of 1 to 50) ) Means a parameter range including at least one parameter range to which the level parameter currently belongs and a parameter range to which the level parameter belongs in the past. For example, when an event character having a level parameter of 1 has a level parameter of 50 at once due to reinforcement, the first effect generating unit 1021 generates only the effect associated with the parameter range including 1 and the parameter range including 50. Instead, an effect associated with a parameter range including at least one numerical value between 1 and 50 is generated. That is, in this case, the first effect generating unit 1021 generates all effects whose level parameter is 50 or less. In addition, if the level parameter indicates that the level is higher as the numerical value is higher, all effects below the current value are generated. However, the lower the numerical value is, the higher the level parameter (for example, the rank is indicated). In such a case (for example, 1 is the highest level), all effects equal to or higher than the current value are generated.

  When an operation for selecting a change target is performed, the effect display control unit 1060 displays a correspondence relationship between the level parameter of the event character and the effect generated by the first effect generating unit 1021 for each event character. Control for displaying the corresponding relationship information shown on the display unit 15 is executed.

  “When an operation for selecting a change target is performed” is a predetermined timing before and after the user performs the operation. For example, until the selection of the base character is completed. For example, while a base character selection screen image G1700 for receiving a base character selection operation is being displayed.

  “Correspondence information” is information indicating an association between a level parameter range and an effect that occurs when the level parameter belongs to the range. The correspondence relationship information includes information indicating the content of the effect. In other words, it includes text information or image information that enables the user to grasp the content of the effect. In addition, the correspondence information may include information for identifying the event character. This information includes the name and appearance of the event character. In the present embodiment, the bonus detail screen image G500 corresponds to “correspondence information”. Here, the correspondence information is displayed when the base character selection operation is performed, but the correspondence information itself may be displayed at an arbitrary timing. For example, the correspondence information may be displayed from a list of event characters displayed by selecting the processing object P1570 of the event character menu screen image G1500.

  “Executing control for displaying on the display unit” means, for example, generating an image and displaying the image on the display unit. Also, for example, data necessary to display an image is generated, and the data is transmitted to a display unit or a terminal connected to the display unit, thereby displaying the image on the display unit. “Data necessary for displaying an image” may be data indicating the image itself, or may be data necessary for generating an image. Hereinafter, the meanings of similar expressions are the same.

  The data acquisition unit 1070 acquires data stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 that stores data in which each of a plurality of parameter ranges divided in stages and the effect generated by the effect generation unit are associated with each other. This data can be said to be data indicating the correspondence between the parameter range and the effect. This data may be in a table format or a mathematical expression format. In the present embodiment, the “bonus” field of the event character table TBL 302 corresponds to the above data.

  The “parameter range” is, for example, a range that a numerical value can take when the parameter is a numerical value. For example, from the first reference value to the second reference value that is larger than the first reference value. For example, when the parameter is a symbol, the range of the order when the symbols are arranged in the order of the symbols. For example, from the first order to the second order after the first order. The parameter range here means not only a plurality of levels but also a single level. That is, the effect generated in the success part may be defined for each level.

  For example, the effect display control unit 1060 executes control for causing the display unit 15 to display correspondence information indicating the correspondence between each of the plurality of parameter ranges and the effect generated by the first effect generation unit 1021. . That is, the display control unit executes control for causing the display unit 15 to display correspondence information indicating the effect for each parameter range. In the present embodiment, as shown in the bonus detail screen image G500 in FIG. 8, effects that occur for each level range are shown.

  Further, for example, the effect display control unit 1060, for each event character, the effect associated with the parameter range to which the value from the initial value of the level parameter of the event character to the current value belongs, Control for causing the display unit 15 to display correspondence information that distinguishes the effect associated with the parameter range to which the values do not belong is executed.

  “Parameter range to which the value from the initial value of the level parameter does not belong to the current value” means a value from the initial value (for example, 1) to the current value (for example, 50) of the level parameter (for example, each of 1 to 50 A parameter range that does not include any numerical value), for example, a parameter range in which a level parameter never belongs to the present or the past.

  “Distinguished correspondence information” is to change the display mode on the screen. For example, adding an image, changing color, brightness, pattern, and size. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the bonus detailed screen image G500 to which the check objects C510 and C520 are added corresponds to the distinguished correspondence information.

  The change target display control unit 1080 performs control for causing the display unit 15 to display an acceptance image for accepting an operation for selecting a change target.

  The “accepted image” is an image displayed when an operation is accepted. An operation performed in a state where the reception image is displayed corresponds to an operation for selecting a change target. In the present embodiment, the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1740 of the base character selection screen image G1700 corresponds to the reception image.

  Further, for example, the effect display control unit 1060 performs control for displaying the correspondence information on the display unit 15 after an operation for displaying the correspondence information in a state where the received image is displayed. It may be.

  “After a user performs a predetermined operation for displaying the correspondence information in a state where the reception image is displayed” means after a predetermined operation performed in a state where the reception image is displayed. For example, it means both according to a predetermined operation or according to an operation performed in a state where an image displayed according to the predetermined operation is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display control unit 1060 displays the bonus detail screen image G500 on the display unit 15 when the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1740 of the base character selection screen image G1700 is long pressed. Execute control to display.

  Note that the effect display control unit 1060 may execute control for displaying the correspondence information on the display unit 15 in a state where the received image is displayed. In this case, the effect display control unit 1060 displays the received image and the correspondence information on the same screen.

  The material character selection unit 1090 selects at least one of a plurality of game objects as a material character based on a user operation.

  Here, the “plurality of game objects” are game objects excluding the base character, the original character, and the main character. In the present embodiment, event characters (that is, material character candidates) that can be selected in the event character list area A1940 of the material character selection screen image G1900 correspond to a plurality of game objects.

  Based on the material character selected by the material character selection unit 1090, the upper limit release determination unit 1100 determines whether a given condition associated with the base character selected by the change target selection unit 1030 is satisfied. .

  The “given condition associated with the base character” is a condition determined by the base character, and may be a condition different for each base character. For example, selecting the same type of game object as the base character.

  For example, the given condition is a condition that can be satisfied when the material character selected by the material character selection unit 1090 is a specific event character. The specific event character is an event character associated with the base character selected by the change target selection unit 1030, and is, for example, the same event character as the event character. In other words, the predetermined condition is a condition that is not satisfied unless a specific event character is selected, and is a condition that is satisfied with a predetermined probability when a specific event character is selected.

  Further, for example, the given condition is a condition that is satisfied with a probability determined based on the material character selected by the material character selection unit 1090. This is a condition that is satisfied under the probability associated with the material character. This probability is determined by, for example, a material character parameter. For example, the probability may be higher as the rarity parameter or level parameter of the material character is higher (larger).

  When the upper limit release determination unit 1100 determines that the given condition is satisfied, the permission unit 1110 determines that the level parameter of the base character selected by the change target selection unit 1030 is one of a predetermined range or a predetermined range. Allow to be part range. In principle, the permission unit 1110 does not allow the level parameter of the event character to exceed the maximum level. Therefore, the permission unit 1110 determines that the level parameter of the event character is determined only when a given condition is satisfied. Allow to exceed the highest level.

  The “predetermined range” may be a predetermined parameter range. For example, if the parameter is a numerical value, it is equal to or greater than the reference value, and if the parameter is a symbol, the symbol is later than a predetermined order. In the present embodiment, a range higher (larger) than the maximum level value corresponds to the predetermined range.

  The condition display control unit 1120 performs control for causing the display unit 15 to display condition information regarding a given condition when an operation for selecting a material character is performed. “Condition information” is an image or text indicating the contents of a given condition.

  For example, the condition display control unit 1120 performs control for causing the display unit 15 to display condition information regarding whether or not the event character is a specific event character for each event character. In the present embodiment, as shown in the material character selection screen image G1900 in FIG. 25, “open 100%” and “open 30%” indicating whether or not the highest level of opening is possible for the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1940. "Is displayed.

  Further, for example, the condition display control unit 1120 performs control for causing the display unit 15 to display condition information regarding the probability when the event character is selected by the material character selection unit 1090 for each event character. In this embodiment, as shown in the material character selection screen image G1900 in FIG. 25, “open 100%” or “open 30%” indicates the highest level of open probability for the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1940. "Is displayed.

  For each event character, the event power display control unit 1130 causes the display unit 15 to display information indicating the degree of the effect generated by the first effect generating unit 1021 when the event character is selected by the use target selecting unit 1050. Control for.

  “Information indicating the degree of effect” is a numerical value or symbol indicating the magnitude (high or low) of the effect. In the present embodiment mobile phone, the event power displayed on the event character screen image G400 corresponds to information indicating the degree of effect. The event power display control unit 1130 acquires the value of the “event power” field of the event character table TBL 302 and displays it on the display unit 15.

  For each event character, the player ability display control unit 1140 further causes the display unit 15 to display information indicating a degree that is advantageous for achieving the game task when the event character is selected by the use target selection unit 1050. Control for.

  “Information indicating the degree of advantage” is a numerical value or a symbol indicating the degree to which the game task is easily achieved. In this embodiment, since the game task here is to win the success part game, the player ability displayed on the event character screen image G400 corresponds to information indicating the degree of the effect. The event power display control unit 1130 acquires the value of the “player ability” field of the event character table TBL302 and displays it on the display unit 15.

[3-2. About the second technology]
In order to realize the second technique, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 includes a first game execution unit 1020, a first effect generation unit 1021, an effect display control unit 1060, a distinction display control unit 1150, and an assistant selection unit 1160. , A second game execution unit 1170, a special effect determination unit 1171, and a second effect generation unit 1172.

  The first game execution unit 1020 executes a process similar to the process described in the first technique, and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

  The first effect generating unit 1021 is based on at least one selected from a plurality of event characters (for example, an event character set in the event deck) on the success part regarding the change or setting of the ability parameter of the main character. The effect of generating. The first effect generating unit 1021 may also execute the same processing as the processing described in the first technique. However, since the second technique is mainly related to a special effect character, the first effect generating unit 1021 is used. When the special effect character is selected, the effect is changed based on the level parameter of the special effect character. The method of changing the effect based on the level parameter is the same as the method described in the first technique.

  In the first technique, the case where the first effect generating unit 1021 generates an effect based on the level parameter has been described, but in the second technique, the first effect generating unit 1021 performs the effect based on the event character. It may be generated, and is not necessarily based on the level parameter. For example, the first effect generating unit 1021 may generate an effect based on ability parameters and rarity, or may generate an effect based on an event list.

  When an operation for selecting at least one of a plurality of event characters (for example, an event character to be set in the event deck) is performed, the distinction display control unit 1150 includes information on the special effect character and other event characters. Control for distinguishing the information on the display unit 15 from the display unit 15 is executed. The meaning of the above operation and the meaning of “discriminated display” are the same as those described in the first technique.

  “When the operation is performed” is a predetermined timing before and after the user performs the operation. For example, until the selection of the event character is completed. For example, while an event deck setting screen image G300, an event character change screen image G600, or an event deck editing screen image G1600 for receiving an event character selection operation is being displayed.

“Character information” is information for identifying an event character and parameters of the event character. In the present embodiment, the processing object for identifying the event character corresponds to information related to the character. For example, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the distinction display control unit 1150 changes the display mode of the special character processing object and other event characters in the event character list area A640 and the setting frame. It should be noted that the information related to the special effect character and the information related to other event characters are displayed separately when the operation for selecting the event character to be incorporated into the event deck is not performed. These distinctions may be displayed at an arbitrary timing. For example,
In the list of event characters displayed when the processing object P1570 of the event character menu screen image G1500 is selected, a distinction display between the special effect character and another event character may be performed. In addition, for example, when an event character is given by a gacha executed after the user selects the processing object P124, the event character menu screen image G1500 is displayed, and when the processing object P1570 is selected, a distinction display is performed. May be performed. In this case, the display of the event character menu screen image G1500 may be omitted and only the distinction display may be performed.

  The effect display control unit 1060 performs control for causing the display unit 15 to display correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the special effect character and the effect generated by the second effect generating unit 1172. For example, the effect display control unit 1060 displays the special effect character and the effect generated in the stadium part in association with each other. The correspondence relationship information includes information indicating the content of the effect. In other words, it includes text information or image information that enables the user to grasp the content of the effect. In addition, the correspondence information includes information for identifying the special effect character. This information includes the name and appearance of the special effect character. For example, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the effect display control unit 1060 displays the score bonus of the special effect character in the event character list area A640 and the setting frame.

  The effect display control unit 1060 displays the correspondence information on the display unit 15 when an operation for selecting at least one of the plurality of event characters (for example, an event character set in the event deck) is performed. Control for. The meanings of the above operation and “when the operation is performed” are as described above.

  The assistant selection unit 1160 selects an event character owned by another user associated with the user. The “other user associated with the user” is, for example, a user who has a friendship. Not only event characters owned by users who play games but also event characters owned by other users can be selected.

  The second game execution unit 1170 executes a stadium part in which the original character is used. For example, the second game execution unit 1170 executes the stadium part based on the ability parameter of the original character. The second game execution unit 1170 executes a baseball game program, and updates various data relating to the stadium part (for example, the user table TBL301).

  Note that the second game execution unit 1170 may execute a stadium part game based on a user operation, or may automatically execute a stadium part game without a user operation. . Whether the stadium part game is executed based on the user's operation or whether the stadium part game is automatically executed may be specified by the user.

  The special effect determination unit 1171 determines whether or not the ability parameter of the original character used in the stadium part is changed or set in the success part executed with the special character selected. For example, the special effect determination unit 1171 determines whether or not the special effect character is used when the ability parameter of the original character is changed or set. Here, since the content of the event deck when the ability parameter of the original character is changed or set is stored in the original character table TBL304, the special effect determination unit 1171 performs determination based on the content of the original character table TBL304. .

  The second effect generating unit 1172 generates an advantageous or unfavorable effect on the stadium part based on the determination result of the special effect determining unit 1171.

  The “advantageous or unfavorable effect for the user” is an effect that makes it easier or difficult to obtain a desired result in the stadium part. For example, in the case of a game that aims to obtain a reward (points, in-game currency, etc.) like a stadium part, it is an effect of increasing or decreasing the reward. For example, when it is a battle game like a stadium part, the effect which becomes easy to advance a battle, or the effect which becomes difficult to advance may be sufficient.

  For example, when the second effect generating unit 1172 determines that the ability parameter of the original character used in the stadium part is changed or set in the success part executed in a state where the special effect character is selected, An advantageous effect for the user is generated on the stadium part. Further, for example, if the second effect generating unit 1172 determines that the level parameter of the original character used in the stadium part is not changed or set in the success part executed with the special effect character selected, An effect that is disadvantageous to the user may be generated on the stadium part.

  In the present embodiment, the stadium part aims to obtain a reward using an original character whose ability parameter has changed in the success part. Therefore, the second effect generating unit 1172 is advantageous for the user to obtain a reward or An adverse effect will occur in the stadium part.

  The “advantageous or disadvantageous effect for obtaining a reward” is an effect that makes it easy to obtain a reward or an effect that makes it difficult to obtain a reward. That is, it is an effect that the obtained reward is improved or an obtained reward is deteriorated.

  The second effect generating unit 1172 may change the effect based on the parameter of the special effect character. The second effect generating unit 1172 changes the content of the effect based on the parameter of the special effect character. For example, the association between the parameter and the effect is stored in the data storage unit 3000. The second effect generating unit 1172 generates an effect associated with the parameter. This parameter may be a rarity parameter or a level parameter. The second effect generating unit 1172 increases the score bonus as the rarity level or level of the special effect character increases.

  For example, the second effect generating unit 1172 may change the effect based on the number of original characters whose ability parameters are changed or set in the success part based on the special effect character. In this case, the association between the number of original characters raised by the special effect character and the effect is stored in the data storage unit 3000, and the second effect generating unit 1172 determines the number of original characters raised by the special effect character. Generate an associated effect. For example, the second effect generating unit 1172 generates an effect that becomes more advantageous or disadvantageous as the number of original characters raised by the special effect character increases. That is, the second effect generating unit 1172 may strengthen the effect in the stadium part as the number of original characters raised by the special effect character increases.

[3-3. About the third technology]
In order to realize the third technique, in this embodiment, the game system 1 includes a parameter changing unit 1022, a use target selecting unit 1050, a practice selecting unit 1180, and a practice display control unit 1190.

  As described above, in the success part, each of the plurality of ability parameters of the main character is changed or set. Further, in the success part, any one of a plurality of roles is set as the main character. The role is a role assigned in the game, and is a position in the present embodiment.

  The practice selection unit 1180 selects one of a plurality of options each associated with at least one of the plurality of ability parameters based on the first selection operation of the user. The “first selection operation” is an operation for the user to select an option, for example, an operation for selecting one of a plurality of options displayed on the display unit 15. In the present embodiment, each of the processing objects P921 to P926 corresponds to an option, and an operation for selecting any one of these processing objects P921 to P926 corresponds to a first selection operation.

  Each of the plurality of options is associated with at least one of a plurality of roles. In the present embodiment, the option indicating the practice of the fielder is associated with the role of the fielder, and the processing object indicating the practice of the pitcher is associated with the role of the pitcher. And the choice linked | related with the role of the hero character can be selected by 1st selection operation. That is, when the role of the hero character is a fielder, a processing object associated with the fielder can be selected, and when the role of the hero character is pitcher, a processing object associated with the pitcher can be selected.

  The use target selection unit 1050 selects at least one of a plurality of event characters each associated with at least one of a plurality of options based on the second selection operation of the user. In this embodiment, the fact that the good practice is associated with the event character corresponds to the fact that at least one of the options is associated with the event character.

  The parameter changing unit 1022 changes a parameter associated with the option selected by the practice selecting unit 1180 among the plurality of ability parameters. As described above, each option has a capability parameter that increases when the processing object is selected. For this reason, the parameter changing unit 1022 increases the capability parameter associated with the selected option.

  When the option selected by the practice selecting unit 1180 is an option associated with the event character selected by the use target selecting unit 1050, the parameter changing unit 1022 selects the option selected by the practice selecting unit 1180, The parameter associated with the option selected by the continuous selection unit is changed so that the user is more advantageous in the game than when the option is not associated with the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050. For example, when the good practice associated with the event character set in the event deck is selected, the parameter changing unit 1022 increases the change amount of the ability parameter of the main character.

  The practice display control unit 1190 executes control for causing the display unit 15 to display option information regarding options associated with the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050. The option information is an image or text for displaying the option on the display unit 15. In the present embodiment, each practice included in the processing objects P921 to P926 and the good practice area A346 corresponds to option information.

  In the practice display control unit 1190, a plurality of event characters are selected by the use target selection unit 1050, and the options associated with each of the plurality of event characters selected by the use target selection unit 1050 are the same. In this case, control for displaying information indicating the number of the same options on the display unit 15 in association with the option information is executed.

  “Information indicating the number of options” is an image or text indicating a numerical value. In the present embodiment, a numerical value such as “× 2” displayed in the good practice area A346 corresponds to “information indicating the number of options”.

  “Display the information indicating the number of options in association with the option information” means, for example, displaying the information indicating the number of options so that a part of the option information overlaps, and indicating the number of options and the options. Displaying the information so that the distance to the information is within a predetermined distance, and connecting the information indicating the number of options and the option information with an image such as a line. In the present embodiment, a numerical value such as “× 2” is displayed so as to indicate the good practice displayed in the good practice area A346.

  For example, the practice display control unit 1190 distinguishes and displays on the display unit 15 option information related to options associated with the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050 and option information related to options other than the options. The meaning of “discriminated display” for executing the control is as described above.

  For example, the practice display control unit 1190 displays the event information selected by the use target selection unit 1050 in a state where the option information regarding each of the plurality of options is displayed in an order determined based on the role associated with the option. Control for distinguishing between the option information related to the option associated with and the option information related to the option other than the option is displayed on the display unit 15.

  “Order determined based on roles” is an order in which roles can be identified by order, and options associated with the first role are displayed side by side on the first side, and options associated with the second role. Are displayed side by side on the second side. Here, the practice display control unit 1190 displays the fielder's practice side by side on the left side and the pitcher's practice side by side on the right side in the good practice area A346.

[3-4. About the fourth technology]
In order to realize the fourth technique, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 includes a first effect generation unit 1021, a scenario selection unit 1200, and a scenario change unit 1210.

  The scenario selection unit 1200 selects any one of a plurality of options related to the content of the game scenario based on a user operation. The “option regarding the contents of the scenario” is an option for determining the contents of the scenario. In this embodiment, the option is for the user to select the next section at the end of each section.

  The scenario changing unit 1210 changes the content of the game scenario based on the option selected by the scenario selecting unit 1200. The scenario changing unit 1210 advances a scenario selected by a user operation from a plurality of types of scenarios as a success part.

  The first effect generating unit 1021 may be the same as the contents described in the first technique and the second technique. However, in the third technique, the first effect generating unit 1021 generates a specific effect on the game corresponding to the specific event character when a specific event character is selected from the plurality of event characters. . The specific event character here is an event character associated with a specific effect, and is an event character of a predetermined rarity. The specific effect may be a predetermined effect, for example, an effect that enables the hero character to acquire a super special ability.

  When a specific option is selected from a plurality of options by the scenario selection unit 1200, the first effect generating unit 1021 is on the game corresponding to the specific event character even if the specific event character is not selected. A specific effect may be generated. The “specific option” is an option for proceeding to a predetermined scenario, for example, an option for proceeding to a limited-time scenario. When the option for proceeding to the limited-time scenario is selected, the first effect generating unit 1021 can acquire the super special ability even if the specific event character is not incorporated in the event deck.

  For example, the first effect generating unit 1021 may limit the occurrence of a specific effect other than the specific period, and generate the specific effect within the specific period. Further, for example, the first effect generating unit 1021 restricts the scenario selection unit 1200 from selecting a specific option from a plurality of options other than the specific period, and the scenario selection unit 1200 includes a plurality of options within the specific period. A specific option may be allowed to be selected from the options. That is, it is not possible to select a scenario that makes it possible to acquire a super special ability outside a specific period.

[3-5. About Fifth Technology]
In order to realize the fifth technology, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 includes a first update unit 3020, a second update unit 3030, a result determination unit 3040, a game providing unit 3050, and a challenge display control unit 3060. Including. Note that the present technology relates to processing performed between a user terminal 10 of a certain user and the user terminal 10 of a friend, and assumes a configuration in which a plurality of user terminals 10 can access the server 30. .

  As described above, the second game execution unit 1170 executes the stadium part based on the original character associated with the user ID and other game objects. The other game object may be an original character associated with another user ID, or may be another game object. Other game objects are game characters prepared by the administrator of the game system 1, for example.

  The first update unit 3020 stores the first result information stored in the data storage unit 3000 that stores the first result information indicating the result obtained by the first user identified by the first user ID in the stadium part. Update based on user gameplay. 2nd update part 3030, 2nd result information memorize | stored in the data memory | storage part 3000 which memorize | stores the 2nd result information which shows the result which the 2nd user identified by 2nd user ID stored in the stadium part is 2nd user. Update based on gameplay.

  The result is information indicating whether the content or result of the game is good or bad, and may be a progress status or a game result of the game. In the present embodiment, the score acquired in the game at the stadium part corresponds to the result. Each of the 1st update part 3020 and the 2nd update part 3030 will store the content in the user table TBL301, if the score which the user acquired by the game of the stadium part from the user terminal 10 is received.

  Based on the first result information and the second result information, the result determination unit 3040 determines that the result of the second user is the result of the first user from the first state where the result of the second user is lower than the result of the first user. It is determined whether or not the state has changed to a higher second state. When it is determined that the game providing unit 3050 has changed from the first state to the second state, the game providing unit 3050 is based on the original character associated with the first user ID and the original character associated with the second user ID. Control for providing the first user with the game to be executed. This game may be executed on a game object owned by each user, and is, for example, a battle game.

  For example, the game providing unit 3050, based on an operation performed by the first user with the notification displayed, an original character associated with the first user ID, an original character associated with the second user ID, A game executed based on the above is provided to the first user.

  “Providing a game to the user” means transmitting a game program to the user terminal 10 or permitting execution of the game. In addition, for example, a process for prompting the user to play a battle or the like may be used.

  When it is determined that the challenge display control unit 3060 has changed from the first state to the second state, a notification indicating that the game is provided by the game providing unit 3050 is displayed on the display unit corresponding to the first user. The control for displaying on the screen 15 is executed. This notification may be performed in a predetermined format. For example, the processing object P160 is displayed on the display unit 15.

[4. Processing executed in game system 1]
43 to 66 are flowcharts showing an example of processing executed in the game system 1. The processing shown in FIGS. 43 to 66 is executed by the control unit 11 operating according to the program stored in the storage unit 12 and the control unit 31 operating according to the program stored in the storage unit 32. In the embodiment, the functional blocks shown in FIG. 37 are realized by executing the processing described below. Note that the process described below ends when a predetermined operation for ending the game is input from the input unit 14.

  As shown in FIG. 43, in the user terminal 10, when the program stored in the storage unit 12 is activated, the control unit 11 requests the server 30 for the latest program and data (S1001). For example, the version of the game program is stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 11 transmits the version.

  When communication from the user terminal 10 to the server 30 is performed, the user ID, the IP address, the unique identification information of the user terminal 10 or the like is transmitted to the server 30. It is possible to identify whether or not. When the server 30 receives the user ID from the user terminal 10, the control unit 31 specifies the user ID from the communication content. When the server 30 receives an IP address or unique identification information from the user terminal 10, the association between the IP address or unique identification information and the user ID is stored in advance in the storage unit 32, and the control unit 31 The user ID is specified based on the association.

  When the server 30 receives the request, the control unit 31 transmits the latest data stored in the storage unit 32 to the user terminal 10 together with the latest program if the program of the user terminal 10 is not the latest (S3001). . The latest data here is, for example, data indicating notification from the game provider to the user or data corresponding to the user ID in each table. In step S3001, the control unit 31 compares the version received from the user terminal 10 with the latest program version stored in the storage unit 32. If the program of the user terminal 10 is the latest version, the control unit 31 does not transmit the program to the user terminal 10. In S3001, the control unit 31 refers to the storage unit 32 and transmits various data associated with the user ID to the user terminal 10.

  In the user terminal 10, when receiving the latest program or data, the control unit 11 stores the latest program or data in the storage unit 12 (S1003). Note that when the latest program is received, the control unit 11 once ends this process and restarts the game based on the latest program.

  The control unit 11 displays a predetermined notification screen image based on the data received from the server 30 (S1005), refers to the user table TBL301, and determines whether a challenge letter from a friend has arrived (S1007). ). In step S1007, the control unit 11 determines whether or not a user ID is stored in the “challenge” field of the user table TBL301. When the user ID of the friend is stored, the control unit 11 determines that a challenge letter from the friend has arrived.

  The control unit 11 displays the home screen image G100 (FIGS. 2 and 34) on the display unit 15 based on the determination result of S1007 (S1009). In S1009, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the home screen image G100 (FIG. 34) including the processing object P170 when a challenge letter from a friend has arrived. It is assumed that image data of each image displayed on the display unit 15 is stored in the storage unit 12 in advance. This also applies to the following.

  Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object has been selected in the home screen image G100 (S1011). In S1011, the display position of each processing object is stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 11 determines which processing object the position on the screen instructed by the input unit 14 corresponds to. It will be. This also applies to the processing for determining selection of a processing object or the like thereafter.

  When the user selects the processing object P140 (S1011; P140), the process proceeds to FIG. 44, and the control unit 11 displays the processing objects P141 to P143 on the display unit 15 (S1013). Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines whether any of the processing objects P141 to P143 has been selected (S1015).

  When the user selects any of the processing objects P141 to P143 (S1015; Y), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the main character registration screen image G200 (FIG. 4) (S1017). Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the main character registration screen image G200 (S1019).

  When the user selects any of the processing objects P241 to P245 (S1019; P241 to P245), the control unit 11 executes a process of changing the registration information of the main character based on the input from the input unit 14 ( S1021). In S1021, the control unit 11 reflects the content input from the input unit 14 in the main character registration area A240. This input content is temporarily stored in the storage unit 12.

  On the other hand, when the user selects the processing object P250 (S1019; P250), the control unit 11 stores the registered content of the main character in the original character table TBL304 (S1023), and the event deck setting screen image G300 (FIGS. 5 and 6). ) Is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1025). In S1025, the control unit 11 creates a new record in the original character table TBL304 stored in the storage unit 12, issues an original character ID, and stores the contents displayed in the main character registration area A240 in the record. To do. The original character ID may be issued so as not to overlap with that already stored in the original character table TBL304.

  In S <b> 1025, when the original character table TBL <b> 304 in the storage unit 12 is updated, the control unit 11 transmits the updated data to the server 30. The control unit 31 of the server 30 stores the received data in the original character table TBL 304 of the storage unit 32. Similarly, after that, when each table stored in the storage unit 12 is updated, the control unit 11 transmits the updated data to the server 30, and the control unit 31 updates the table in the storage unit 32. It will be. In this way, data consistency is maintained between the user terminal 10 and the server 30. Note that the timing of taking data consistency is not limited to the time of updating the table. Data consistency may be taken periodically, or data consistency may be taken in accordance with user operations. Good.

  Moving to FIG. 45, the control unit 11 determines which processing object or setting frame is selected in the event deck setting screen image G300 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1027).

  When the user selects the processing object P342 (S1027; P342), the control unit 11 changes the event deck name based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1029). In S1029, the control unit 11 reflects the content input from the input unit 14 in the area A341. This input content is temporarily stored in the storage unit 12.

  When the user selects the processing object P343 (S1027; P343), the control unit 11 displays the automatic setting menu screen image G700 (FIG. 11) on the display unit 15 (S1031). Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object has been selected in the automatic setting menu screen image G700 (S1033).

  When the user selects the processing object P710 (S1033; P710), the control unit 11 automatically organizes a pitcher event deck and stores it in the event character table TBL302 (S1035). For example, the pitcher automatic knitting conditions are stored in the storage unit 12, and in S1035, the control unit 11 includes the pitcher automatic knitting conditions, the data of each event character stored in the event character table TBL302, A predetermined number (here, 5) of event characters are selected based on the above. The control unit 11 stores the selected event character ID in a record storing the event deck name displayed in the area A341 in the event character table TBL302.

  The automatic composition condition is, for example, a conditional expression or a mathematical formula for calculating an evaluation value indicating a priority incorporated in the event deck for each event character. For example, this mathematical formula may be determined such that the higher the rarity or level, the higher the evaluation value, or the evaluation value is high when the pitcher practice is a good practice or has a predetermined bonus. It may be determined as follows. In S1035, the control unit 11 selects a predetermined number of event characters in descending order of evaluation value.

  When the user selects the processing object P720 (S1033; P720), the control unit 11 automatically organizes an event deck for a fielder and stores it in the event character table TBL302 (S1037). The knitting method in S1037 is the same as that in S1035, except that the automatic knitting condition is for a fielder. When the user selects the processing object P730 (S1033; P730), the process returns to S1025.

  On the other hand, when the user long presses any of the setting frames A344-1 to A344-5 in S1027 (S1027; long press operation), the process proceeds to FIG. 46, and the control unit 11 determines that the event character table TBL302 and the event deck table The event character screen image G400 (FIG. 7) is displayed on the display unit 15 with reference to the TBL 303 (S1039). In step S1039, the control unit 11 refers to the event deck table TBL303 and identifies the event character ID indicated by the long-pressed setting frame A344-1 to A344-5. Then, the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 and causes the display unit 15 to display the event character screen image G400 based on the record in which the specified event character ID is stored.

  Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object or tab has been selected in the event character screen image G400 (S1041). When the user selects the processing object P424 (S1041; P424), the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 to display the bonus detail screen image G500 (FIG. 8) on the display unit 15 (S1043).

  In S1043, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the bonus detail screen image G500 based on the record in the event character table TBL302 that stores the event character ID for which the setting frame is long pressed in S1027. For example, the control unit 11 displays the bonus detail screen image G500 on the display unit 15 based on the level stored in the “level” field and the content of the bonus stored in the “bonus” field. . That is, the control unit 11 checks the check object in an area indicating a bonus associated with the level stored in the “level” field (bonus already acquired) among the bonuses stored in the “bonus” field. C510 and C520 are displayed. Further, the control unit 11 is an area in which an area indicating a bonus associated with a level below the level stored in the “level” field indicates a bonus associated with a level higher than the level (a bonus that can be obtained by raising the level). The bonus detail screen image G500 is generated so as to be brighter.

  The control unit 11 determines whether the processing object P530 has been selected based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1045). When the user selects the processing object P530 (S1045; Y), the processing returns to S1039.

  On the other hand, when the user selects the processing object P430 in S1041 (S1041; P430), the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 to display a screen image indicating the ability of the event character on the display unit 15 ( S1047). In S1047, the control unit 11 displays a screen image on the display unit 15 based on the content of the “ability parameter” field of the record in which the event character ID indicated by the event character screen image G400 is stored in the event character table TBL302. Let

  When the user selects the processing object P441 (S1041; P441), the processing returns to S1025. When the user selects the processing object P442 (S; P442), the control unit 11 updates the event character table TBL302 so as to set or release the lock of the event character (S1049). In S1049, the control unit 11 updates the value of the “lock” field of the record in which the event character ID indicated by the event character screen image G400 is stored.

  When the user selects the processing object P443 (S1041; P443), the control unit 11 updates the event character table TBL302 so as to set the event character as a leader (S1051). In S1051, the control unit 11 updates the value of the “leader” field of the record in which the event character ID indicated by the event character screen image G400 is stored.

  When the user selects the first tab T421 (S1041; T421), the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 and causes the display unit 15 to display an event list of event characters (S1053). In S1053, the control unit 11 identifies the event indicated by the “event” field of the record in which the event character ID indicated by the event character screen image G400 is stored, and displays the event in the second area A420.

  When the user selects the second tab T422 (S1041; T422), the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 to display the event bonus of the event character on the display unit 15 (S1055). In S1055, the control unit 11 stores the level stored in the “level” field of the record in which the event character ID indicated by the event character screen image G400 is stored, and the contents of the bonus stored in the “bonus” field of the record. Based on the above, the bonus acquired at the current level is specified and displayed in the second area A420.

  When the user selects the third tab T423 (S1041; T423), the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 to display the event character profile on the display unit 15 (S1057). In S1057, the control unit 11 specifies the profile indicated by the “profile” field of the record in which the event character ID indicated by the event character screen image G400 is stored, and displays the profile in the second area A420.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 45, when the user taps any of the setting frames A344-1 to A344-5 in S1027 (S1027; tap operation), the process proceeds to FIG. 47, and the control unit 11 stores the event character table TBL302. Referring to FIG. 9, event character change screen image G600 (FIGS. 9 and 31) is displayed on display unit 15 (S1059).

  In S1059, the control unit 11 refers to the event deck table TBL303 to identify an event character currently incorporated in the event deck, and the identified event character is “in use” in the event character list area A640. Display. Further, if a limited-time event is being performed, the control unit 11 causes the special effect character to superimpose and display a score bonus in the event character list area A640 if the event character ID of the special effect character is stored in the event deck table TBL303. . Furthermore, the control unit 11 refers to the event deck table TBL303, identifies an event character other than those described above, and displays the identified event character thus identified in the event character list area A640.

  Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the event character change screen image G600 (S1061). When the user selects the processing object P641 (S1061; P641), the control unit 11 updates the event deck table TBL303 so that the event character tapped in S1027 is removed from the event deck (S1063). In S1063, the control unit 11 deletes the event character ID of the event character tapped in S1027 from the event deck table TBL303.

  When the user selects a processing object corresponding to the event character in the event character list area A640 (S1061; event character), the control unit 11 updates the event deck table TBL303 so that the event character is incorporated into the event deck. (S1065). In S1065, the control unit 11 deletes the event character ID of the event character tapped in S1027 from the event deck table TBL303, and stores the event character ID of the event character indicated by the processing object selected by the user in the event deck table TBL303. Store.

  When the user selects the processing object P650 (S1061; P650), the control unit 11 rearranges the event characters in the event character list area A640 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1067). In step S <b> 1067, the user selects a display order condition from the input unit 14. And the control part 11 rearranges the event character in event character list area | region A640 based on the conditions which the user selected with reference to event character table TBL302.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 45, when the user selects the setting frame A345 in S1027 (S1027; A345), the process proceeds to FIG. 48, and the control unit 11 inquires of the server 30 about an assistant candidate (S1069). The assistant candidate is an event character set in the leader of another user.

  In the server 30, when receiving the inquiry, the control unit 31 refers to the event character table TBL 302 and transmits data related to the event character set in the leaders of other users to the user terminal 10 (S 3003). In S3003, the control unit 31 transmits a predetermined number of data to the user terminal 10 among records storing user IDs other than the user ID that transmitted the inquiry. The control unit 31 may select a predetermined number of data at random, or may select so that the combination of good practice of event characters is a predetermined combination. That is, the control unit 31 may select the event character that is a candidate for the assistant so that the best practice is not the same. Further, the control unit 31 may preferentially select a user's friend leader as a candidate for an assistant. Furthermore, when the user selects a friend's leader as an assistant, a predetermined effect may occur in the success part. This effect includes, for example, an increase in the amount of experience points when the best practice of a friend's leader is selected, an increase in the initial value of the leader's evaluation, and an increase in the probability that an event related to the leader will occur Etc. That is, when the user selects a friend's leader as an assistant, an effect that the user has an advantage in the success part may be generated compared to when the reader who is not a friend selects as an assistant.

  In the user terminal 10, when data is received, the control unit 11 displays a list of assistant candidates on the display unit 15 based on the received data (S1071), and the user terminal 10 based on the input from the input unit 14 The assistant selected by is set in the setting frame A345 (S1073). The event deck setting area A340 in this case is as shown in FIG. In S1073, the control unit 11 stores the event character ID of the assistant selected by the user in the “event deck” field of the original character table TBL304.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 45, when the user selects the processing object P350 in S1027 (S1027; P350), the process proceeds to FIG. 49, and the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the opening part opening video and the like. Later (S1075), the main command screen image G800 (FIG. 12) is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1077). Note that the control unit 11 stores the initial values of the hero character's ability parameters, physical strength parameters, motivation parameters, experience points, and evaluations from other characters in the original character table TBL304. These values may be fixed values or may vary randomly.

  Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object has been selected in the main command screen image G800 (FIG. 12) (S1079). When the user selects the processing object P841 (S1079; P841), the process proceeds to FIG. 50, and the control unit 11 displays the practice screen image G900 (FIG. 13) on the display unit 15 (S1081). In S1081, the control unit 11 randomly determines which event character and other characters incorporated in the event deck participate in the practice indicated by each of the processing objects P921 to P926, and stores the determination result. Held in part 12.

  Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the practice screen image G900 (S1083). When the user selects any of the processing objects P921 to P926 (S1083; P921 to P926), the control unit 11 displays the cursor object C927 so as to point to the selected processing object (S1085), and the experience point area The display of A930 and game character area A940 is updated (S1087).

  In S1087, the control unit 11 calculates the experience point that increases when the processing object selected by the user is practiced based on the mathematical formula described in the game program, and displays it in the experience point area A930. Let This formula defines the relationship between each practice, the type of experience value point that rises, and the rise value. In addition, this relationship may be memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 12 as a table instead of numerical formula. For example, the control unit 11 acquires the type of experience value point and the increase value associated with the practice of the processing object selected by the user. Then, the control unit 11 refers to the determination result in S1081 to determine whether or not an event character that is good at practice of the processing object selected by the user participates in the practice. Increase the acquired increase value. This increment may be a fixed value or a variable value. For example, the control unit 11 may determine the increase amount at random, or increase the increase amount as the rarity or level parameter of the event character is higher. The control unit 11 displays the increase value calculated as described above in the experience point area A930, and displays the determination result in S1081 in the game character area A940.

  Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the processing object selected in S1083 has been selected again (S1089). When the user selects again (S1089; Y), the control unit 11 increases the ability parameter of the hero character by the increase value determined in S, and the event character and other characters who participated in the practice together. The original character table TBL304 is updated so that the evaluation increases by a predetermined value (S1091), and the practice result screen image G1000 (FIG. 14) and the event screen image G1100 (FIG. 15) are displayed on the display unit 15 (S1093).

  In S1093, the control unit 11 displays the message area A1030 to indicate the increase value of the ability parameter of the main character, and to indicate the increase value of the evaluation parameter of the event character and other characters who participated in the practice together. The increase value of the evaluation parameter may be a fixed value or may vary randomly. Moreover, the control part 11 displays the dog character C1040 on the practice result screen image G1000 with a given probability, and gives a randomly determined game item to the user. As described above, this probability may be set in the storage unit 12 in advance, but when the notice screen image G1400 is displayed at the start of the section, the control unit 11 increases this probability. Further, the control unit 11 may update the user table TBL301 so that the game item is assigned at the time of S1093, or may update the user table TBL301 so that the game item is assigned at the end of the section. Good.

  In S1093, the control unit 11 determines whether or not to generate a game event of the event character that participated in the exercise together with a given probability. For example, the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302, identifies the game event of the event character that participated in the exercise together, and determines whether or not to generate the identified game event based on the probability. It will be. Note that the probability of occurrence may be different for each game event, or may be the same. When it is determined that the game event is to be generated, the control unit 11 displays the event screen image G1100 on the display unit 15, and updates the original character table TBL304 so that the parameter of the main character changes (increases or decreases). The relationship between the game event, the type of parameter to be changed (at least one of ability parameter, physical strength parameter, motivation parameter, experience point, evaluation parameter) and the amount of change seems to be stored in the storage unit 12 in advance. You can do it. The control unit 11 updates the original character table TBL304 so that the type of parameter associated with the generated game event is changed by the amount of change.

  Further, in S1093, if the limited-time scenario is in progress, the control unit 11 determines whether or not to generate a game event for the main character to acquire the super special ability based on the given probability. decide. Note that the control unit 11 may randomly generate the game event. When it is determined that the game event is to be generated, the control unit 11 displays the event screen image G1100 on the display unit 15 and updates the original character table TBL304 so that the main character acquires the super special ability.

  In S1089, the control unit 11 may cause the hero character to be injured due to the failure of practice under a given probability. In this case, the processing of S1091 and S1093 is not executed. For example, the control unit 11 determines the probability that the main character will be injured based on the physical strength parameter of the main character. When the main character is injured, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image indicating that the main character has been injured, so that the ability parameter of the main character decreases by a predetermined value. The TBL 304 may be updated.

  If the user selects the processing object P950 in S1083 (S1083; P950), the process returns to S1077. On the other hand, when the user selects the processing object P812 (S1083; P812), the control unit 11 displays a given menu screen image on the display unit 15 and interrupts the success part based on the input from the input unit 14. Alternatively, cancel or various setting processes are executed (S1095).

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 49, when the user selects the processing object P842 in S1079 (S1079; P842), the control unit 11 generates a game event in which the main character rests (S1097), and the physical strength parameter of the main character is predetermined. The original character table TBL304 is updated so as to recover only the value (S1099). The generation of a game event here means that the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a predetermined screen image indicating the game event. This is the same in the following description. In S1099, the control unit 11 may change the recovery value of the physical strength parameter randomly, or change the state of the main character (eg, insomnia) with a given probability. Good.

  When the user selects the processing object P846 (S1079; P846), the process proceeds to FIG. 51, and the control unit 11 refers to the original character table TBL304 and causes the display unit 15 to display the ability change screen image G1200 (FIG. 16) ( S1101). In S1101, the control unit 11 displays the first region G1210 based on the data stored in the “ability parameter” field of the main character, and based on the data stored in the “experience point” field, Two areas G1220 are displayed. In addition, the data which show the relationship between each ability parameter and the experiential point to consume are memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 12, and the control part 11 is each process object P1223 in 2nd area | region G1220 based on this data. The relationship between −1 to P1223-7 and the experiential points to be consumed is displayed.

In S1151, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image indicating that the success part has been completed. Then, based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 updates the original character table TBL304 so that the ability parameter of the main character is determined. The control unit 11 registers the hero character whose ability parameter has been determined as an original character in the original character table TBL304, and updates the “nurturing status” field to completion.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 43, when the user selects the processing object P150 in S1011 (S1011; P150), the process proceeds to FIG. 53, and the control unit 11 refers to the user table TBL301 and processes objects P151 and P152 (FIG. 34) is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1153). Note that the processing object P152 is not displayed when the period-limited event is not held. Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the home screen image G100 (S1155).

  When the user selects the processing object P151 (S1155; P151), the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL305 and starts a normal game based on a normal order. Hereinafter, a normal game is performed in the above-described flow of S2 to S14, but more specific description will be given here.

  The control unit 11 refers to the user table TBL301 and causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image indicating information such as the user's league and ranking (S1157). When the user performs a predetermined operation, the control unit 11 Information on opponent candidates is requested (S1159).

  In the server 30, when receiving the request, the control unit 31 refers to the user table TBL301, selects a predetermined number of opponent candidates (S3005), and transmits information on the selected opponent candidates to the user terminal 10. (S3007). In S3007, the control unit 31 selects a predetermined number (for example, five) of other users having the same strength as the user based on the user's rank, league, ranking, and the like. The other users selected here may be users who are not friends. The control unit 31 refers to the user table TBL301 and the event character table TBL302, and transmits information such as the user name, rank, and event character set as the leader of the selected opponent candidate to the user terminal 10.

  In the user terminal 10, when the opponent candidate information is received, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image indicating the opponent candidate (S1161). In this screen image, a plurality of opponent candidates are displayed so as to be selectable. The control unit 11 determines an opponent based on the user's operation (S1163), and requests the order of the opponent (S1165). This request includes the user ID determined as the opponent.

  In the server 30, when the order request is received, the control unit 31 refers to the order table TBL305, acquires information on the order of the user determined as the opponent, and transmits it to the user terminal 10 (S3009).

  In the user terminal 10, when receiving the order information, the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL 305 and displays a screen image showing the user's starting order and the opponent's starting order on the display unit 15. (S1167). In this screen image, the striking order, name, position, and rank of the original character of the starting order are displayed together with the team name.

  The control unit 11 specifies the user's operation based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1169). For example, it is assumed that the user can perform an operation for changing an order and an operation for determining an order by determining the order.

  When the user performs an operation for changing the order (S1169; order change), the control unit 11 displays the normal order edit screen image G2200 on the display unit 15, and edits the order based on the input from the input unit 14. The process is executed (S1171), and the process returns to S1167. Since the processing of S1171 is the same as S1283 to S1293 described later, description thereof is omitted here.

  When the user confirms the order and performs an operation to determine the tone (S1169; order confirmation), the process proceeds to FIG. 54, and the control unit 11 determines the tone of the starting order of the user and the opponent (S1173). . In S <b> 1173, the control unit 11 randomly determines any one of a plurality of levels of tone for each original character of the starting order, and stores it in the storage unit 12.

  The control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the determination result of the tone in S1173 (S1175), and causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image for selecting a game item to be used in the game with reference to the user table TBL301. (S1177). In S1177, the control unit 11 displays the game items stored in the “item” field in the user table TBL301 in a selectable manner.

  The control unit 11 specifies the user operation based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1179). For example, it is assumed that the user can perform an operation for selecting a game item, an operation for specifying a game progress method, and an operation for starting a game. Here, it is assumed that it is possible to specify whether the game is automatically advanced all the way or the user operates the original character in a predetermined scene.

  When the user performs an operation for selecting a game item (S1179; game item), the control unit 11 holds the game item selected by the user in the storage unit 12 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1181). ). When the user performs an operation for specifying the progress method of the game (S1179; progress method), the control unit 11 stores information indicating the progress method specified by the user in the storage unit 12 (S1183).

  When the user performs an operation for starting a game (S1179; game start), the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so as to consume one game ticket (S1185) and starts the game ( S1187). In S1187, the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so as to consume the game item selected by the user. And the control part 11 advances a game based on the advancing method designated by the user. When all the matches are automatically advanced, the control unit 11 automatically advances from the start to the end of the match without any operation by the user. On the other hand, when the user operates the original character in a predetermined scene, the control unit 11 automatically advances the game, and causes the user to operate the original character when the game becomes a predetermined scene. The scene that can be operated by the user may be determined in advance. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the score obtained by the user's operation increases, the scenes that can be operated by the user may be limited within a predetermined number of times. As a method for proceeding with the game, various well-known sports game proceeding methods may be applicable.

  The control unit 11 calculates the score obtained by the user in the game based on the execution result of the game (S1189), and transmits the calculated score to the server 30 (S1119). For example, data indicating the relationship between the content and result of the game and the increase / decrease in the score is stored in the storage unit 12, and in S1189, the control unit 11 is based on the score increase / decrease associated with the content and result of the game. , Calculate the score the user has won in the game. This relationship is, for example, +1000 points when winning the game, -200 points when losing, +2000 points when the original character operated by the user hits, and +100 points when the original character not operated by the user hits It is prescribed as follows.

  In the server 30, when the score is received, the control unit 31 refers to the user table TBL301, determines the ranking of the user (S3011), and determines whether the user has passed the score of the friend (S3013). In S3013, the control unit 31 may determine the ranking among all users or may determine the ranking within the league to which the user belongs. If the user has not updated the highest score, the processing of S3011 to S3017 may be omitted.

  When it is determined that it has overtaken (S3013; Y), the control unit 31 executes a process for sending a challenge letter to a friend (S3015). In S3015, the control unit 31 stores the user ID in the “challenge” field of the record corresponding to the friend in the user table TBL301.

  The control unit 31 transmits the latest ranking of the user to the user terminal 10 (S3017). When the user overtakes the friend's score, information indicating that the challenge letter has been sent is also transmitted to the user terminal 10, and the fact is displayed on the display unit 15 in the user terminal 10. .

  In the user terminal 10, when the ranking is received, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image indicating the result of the game (S1193). When the ranking increases, the control unit 11 displays the screen image indicating the ranking. 15 is displayed (S1195). The control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so as to update the user ranking and the like (S1197). In S1195, the control unit 11 displays the scores of both teams, the winning and losing scores, the scores acquired in the game, the breakdown of the scores, the user's best score, the number of acquired medals, the acquired gacha points, and the like on the screen image.

  On the other hand, when the user selects the processing object P152 in S1155 (S1155; P152), the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL305 to start a limited-time event game based on the order for the limited-time event. The process is executed (S1199 to S1239). The processing of S1199 to S1239 is the same as that of S1157 to S1197, respectively. However, in S1231, the control unit 11 determines based on the order table TBL305 whether or not there is an original character to which a score bonus has been added to the user's order. Increase the score by the score bonus. When there are a plurality of original characters to which a score bonus is given, the control unit 11 increases the score by the total score bonus of each of the plurality of original characters. In this respect, S1231 and S1189 are different.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 43, when the user selects the processing object P160 in S1011 (S1011; P160), the control unit 11 executes processing related to the challenge part (S1241). For example, data indicating the relationship between each goal to be achieved by the user, the reward, and the achievement status of the user is stored in the storage unit 12, and in S1241, the control unit 11 is based on this data. A screen image indicating the goal achieved by the user and the goal not achieved is displayed on the display unit 15. When the user newly achieves the goal, the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so that a reward (game item, coin, etc.) associated with the achieved goal is given to the user.

  When the user selects the processing object P170 (S1011; P170), the process proceeds to FIG. 57, and the control unit 11 displays a screen image indicating a list of friends who have sent the challenge letter on the display unit 15 with reference to the user table TBL301. Based on the input from the input unit 14, an opponent is determined from among the friends who have sent the challenge (S1245). Subsequent S1247 to S1277 are the same as S1165 to S1197. However, as described above, since the match ticket is not consumed in the battle with the friend using the challenge, S1185 is not executed.

  On the other hand, when the user selects the processing objects P121 to P125, P130, etc. in S1011, etc., the common routine shown in FIG. 59 is executed. When the user selects the processing object P121 (FIG. 59: P121), the process returns to the processing of S1009, and the control unit 11 displays the home screen image G100 on the display unit 15.

  When the user selects the processing object P122 (FIG. 59: P122), the process proceeds to FIG. 60, and the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the my team menu screen image G2100 (S1279). Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the my team menu screen image G2100 (FIG. 28) (S1281).

  When the user selects the processing object P2140 (S1281; P2140), the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL305 to display the normal order edit screen image G2200 (FIG. 29) on the display unit 15 (S1283). The control unit 11 specifies the user operation based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1285).

  When the user performs an operation of replacing the order (S1285; replacement operation), the control unit 11 updates the order table TBL305 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1287). In S1287, the control unit 11 replaces the two original characters based on the input from the input unit 14. The operation for changing the order is as described above.

  When the user selects the processing object P2240 (S1285; P2240), the control unit 11 refers to the original character table TBL304 and automatically determines an order (S1289). In step S1289, the control unit 11 determines that an original character having a high ability parameter or an original character having a large total experience score acquired in the success part is included in the order.

  When the user selects the processing object P2250 (S1285; P2250), the control unit 11 returns the order (S1291). For example, the order at the time of displaying the normal order edit screen image G2200 is stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 11 returns the contents of the order table TBL305 to this order.

  When the user selects the processing object P2270 (S1285; P2270), the control unit 11 determines a pitcher appointed method based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1293). In S1293, the control unit 11 updates the order table TBL305 so that the method of use designated from the input unit 14 is obtained. When the user selects the processing object P2280 (S1285; P2280), the process returns to S1279.

  On the other hand, when the user selects the processing object P2150 in S1281 (S1281; P2150), the process proceeds to FIG. 61, and the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL305 and displays the limited-time order editing screen image G2300 (FIG. 30). It is displayed on the part 15 (S1295). Henceforth, the process of S1297-S1305 is the same as that of S1285-S1293. In S1295, when there is an event character associated with the score bonus, the control unit 11 displays the total value of the score bonus of the event character and the score bonus in the current order. Specifically, the control unit 11 refers to the original character table TBL304 to determine whether or not the event character ID of the special character is stored in the “event deck” field of the original character included in the order. And when it determines with the event character ID of a special effect character being stored, the control part 11 will acquire the score bonus of a special effect character, and will display it on the period limited order edit screen image G2300. Note that information indicating the score bonus of each special effect character is stored in the storage unit 12.

  When the user selects the processing object P2160 in S1281 (S1281; P2160), the control unit 11 refers to the original character table TBL304 to display a screen image indicating a list of original characters on the display unit 15 (S1307). .

  When the user selects the processing object P2170 (S1281; P2170), the control unit 11 executes an original character editing process based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1309). In the editing process of the original character, for example, the name, appearance, hitting form, and the like of the original character can be changed according to the input from the input unit 14.

  Returning to FIG. 59, when the user selects the processing object P123 in S1011, etc. (FIG. 59; P123), the processing proceeds to FIG. 62, and the control unit 11 displays the event character menu screen image G1500 (FIG. 20) on the display unit 15. It is displayed (S1311). Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object has been selected in the event character menu screen image G1500 (S1313).

  When the user selects the processing object P1540 (S1313; P1540), the control unit 11 refers to the event deck table TBL303 and displays the event deck editing screen image G1600 (FIGS. 21 and 22) on the display unit 15 (S1315). ). Henceforth, the process of S1317-S1327 is the same as that of S1027-S1037.

  In S1313, when the user selects the processing object P1550 (S1313; P1550), the process proceeds to FIG. 64, and the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 and displays the base character selection screen image G1700 (FIG. 23) on the display unit 15. (S1329). Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object has been selected in the base character selection screen image G1700 (S1331).

  When the user selects the processing object P1750 (S1331; P1750), the control unit 11 rearranges the event characters in the event character list area A1740 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1333). The process of S1333 is the same as S1067.

  When the user selects a processing object of any event character in the event character list area A1740 (S1331; event character), the process proceeds to FIG. 65, and the control unit 11 enhances the screen image in which this event character is set as a base character. G1800 (FIG. 24) is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1335). The event character ID of the base character selected by the user is temporarily stored in the storage unit 12. If the user presses and holds any event character in the event character list area A1740, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 and causes the display unit 15 to display the event character screen image G400. Also good. Similarly, when the user performs a long press operation on any of the material characters in the material character area A1850, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 and causes the display unit 15 to display the event character screen image G400. Also good.

  Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines whether any processing object has been selected in the enhanced screen image G1800 (S1337). When the user selects the material character area A1850 (S1337; A1850), the process proceeds to FIG. 66, and the control unit 11 displays the material character selection screen image G1900 on the display unit 15 with reference to the event character table TBL302 (S1339). . Even when the user performs a long press operation on any of the material characters in the event character list area A1940, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 and causes the display unit 15 to display the event character screen image G400. Also good.

  In S1339, the control unit 11 compares the base character held in the storage unit 12 with each event character stored in the event character table TBL302, and the user owns the same event character as the base character. It is determined whether or not. When it is determined that the user has the same event character as the base character, the control unit 11 increases the maximum level of the base character based on the rarity of the base character and the rarity of the event character. Calculate As the calculation method, as described above, the control unit 11 determines that the probability is 100% if the event character that is the same as the base character is the same or higher than the rarity of the base character, and is one step below the base character. If the rarity of the base character, the probability is set to a value less than 100% (for example, 30%). Further, the control unit 11 may calculate so that the probability increases as the amount of increase in the highest level of the base character at the present time (that is, how much it has increased from the initial value of the highest level) increases. You may calculate so that a probability may become low, so that the rareness of a base character is high. Further, the control unit 11 refers to the “event deck” field of the original character table TBL304, specifies the number of original characters that are brought up with the base character incorporated in the event deck, and the probability increases as this number increases. You may calculate so that may become high. Then, the control unit 11 displays the probability calculated for each event character that is the same as the base character in the material character selection screen image G1900. Note that even if an event character different from the base character is used as a material character, the maximum level of the base character cannot be increased. Therefore, the control unit 11 does not calculate the probability for an event character different from the base character. The probability is not displayed on the material character selection screen image G1900.

  Based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 determines which processing object has been selected in the material character selection screen image G1900 (S1341). When the user selects a processing object of the event character in the event character list area A 1940 (S1341; event character), the control unit 11 holds the material character in the storage unit 12 (S1343). In S1343, the control unit 11 calculates and displays the experience value acquired by the base character by the material character selected by the user, the rising level, and the coins necessary for strengthening in the area A1950. It is assumed that experience values that can be acquired by each event character and necessary coins are stored in the storage unit 12 in advance. When the user presses and holds any event character in the event character list area A1940, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 and causes the display unit 15 to display the event character screen image G400. Also good.

  When the user selects the processing object P1960 (S1341; P1960), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the enhanced screen image G1800 in which the material character is set in the material character area A1850 (S1345). In S1345, when the same material character as the base character is selected, the control unit 11 increases the probability of increasing the highest level of the base character for each same material character as the base character, as in S1339. Will be displayed. Further, as described above, since the material character different from the base character cannot increase the highest level of the base character, the probability is not displayed in the enhanced screen image G1800.

  When the user selects the processing object P1970 (S1341; P1970), the control unit 11 cancels the selection of the material character selected so far (S1347). In this case, the control unit 11 clears the material character held in the storage unit 12.

  Returning to FIG. 65, when the user selects the processing object P1860 in S1337 (S1337; P1860), the control unit 11 executes the reinforcement of the base character based on the material character selected by the user (S1349). The result window G2000 is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1351).

  In S1349, the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so that the coin calculated in S1343 is consumed, and updates the event character table TBL302 so as to increase by the experience value and level calculated in S1343. When one or more material characters that are the same as the base character are selected, the control unit 11 determines, for each material character, the base character based on the probability of increasing the highest level of the base character corresponding to the material character. It will be decided whether to increase the highest level of each. Thereafter, when the control unit 11 receives an operation of selecting the processing object P2010 based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 returns to S1311.

  When the user selects the processing object P1870 in S1337 (S1337; P1870), the control unit 11 cancels the selection of the material character selected in the material character area A1850 (S1353). In this case, the control unit 11 clears the material character held in the storage unit 12.

  Returning to FIG. 62, when the user selects the processing object P1560 in S1313 (S1313; P1560), the control unit 11 executes a sale process of the event character based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1355). In S <b> 1355, the control unit 11 specifies the event character designated as the sale target by the user based on the input from the input unit 14. And the control part 11 deletes the record of the sold event character from the event character table TBL302, and updates the user table TBL301 so that the coin which a user owns increases by a predetermined number. It is assumed that data indicating the relationship between the event character and the coin at the time of sale is stored in the storage unit 12 in advance.

  When the user selects the processing object P1570 (S1313; P1570), the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 and causes the display unit 15 to display a list of event characters (S1357). If the user presses and holds any event character in the list of event characters, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 and causes the display unit 15 to display the event character screen image G400. Good.

  When the user selects the processing object P1580 (S1313; P1580), the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 and causes the display unit 15 to display a picture book (S1359). When the user performs a long press operation on any event character in the picture book of the event character, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 and causes the display unit 15 to display the event character screen image G400. Good.

  When the user selects the processing object P1590 (S1313; P1590), the control unit 11 executes an event character list expansion process based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1361). Information indicating the number of event characters that can be owned by the user in the event character list may be stored in the user table TBL301 or the like. In step S 1361, the control unit 11 executes list expansion processing by consuming power stones.

  Returning to FIG. 59, when the user selects the processing object P124 in S1011, etc. (FIG. 59; P124), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image for the user to gacha, and the input unit 14 A gacha process is executed based on the input from (S1363). In S 1363, the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL 301 so that the user's gacha points are consumed. Then, the control unit 11 determines an event character to be given to the user from a plurality of event characters with a given probability. Note that various known methods can be applied to the gacha processing itself. For example, the server 30 may perform the process of drawing lottery event characters to be given to the user. In this case, in the server 30, the control unit 31 updates the user table TBL 301 so that the user's gacha points are consumed, and assigns the user table among a plurality of event characters with a given probability. The event character will be determined. The control unit 31 transmits data indicating the lottery event character to the user terminal 10, and a screen image indicating the event character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  In S1011, etc., when the user selects the processing object P125 (FIG. 59; P125), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the shop screen image, and based on the input from the input unit 14, the game item is displayed. A purchase process is executed (S1365). In S1365, the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so that the user's medal is consumed and the game item is purchased. Various known methods can be applied to the game item purchase process itself.

  In S1011, etc., when the user selects the processing object P130 (FIG. 59; P130), the control unit 11 displays a screen image of the menu on the display unit 15 and performs various menu processes based on the input from the input unit 14. Is executed (S1367). In S1019 or the like, when the user selects the processing object P230 or the like (FIG. 59; P230 or the like), the control unit 11 executes a process of returning to the screen image displayed immediately before the current screen image. (S1369).

[Summary of the first technology]
According to the game system 1 described above, in the bonus detail screen image G500, the correspondence relationship between the level parameter of the event character and the effect generated in the success part can be seen. Thus, it is possible to easily grasp the influence of the hero character on the ability parameter change. For example, by viewing this correspondence before the user selects a base character, the user carefully considers the effects that occur when the level parameter of the base character changes, and then selects and strengthens the base character. be able to. In other words, it is possible to easily grasp to what extent the level parameter of the base character can be changed to obtain a desired effect.

  In addition, when the effect is determined for each of a plurality of level parameter ranges divided in stages as in the present embodiment, the bonus detail screen image G500 is displayed so that the relationship between each range and the effect is displayed. Can be easily grasped. That is, it is possible to easily grasp to what extent the desired effect can be obtained by changing the level parameter of the event character. Also, by dividing the level parameter range in stages, the user will strengthen the event character aiming at the next stage in order to obtain a more advantageous effect, making it easier for the user to set a target.

  In addition, since the effect associated with the range of the level parameter to which the value from the initial value of the level parameter of the event character belongs to the current value occurs, the effect that occurs at the present time and the effect that does not occur at the present time (the level parameter can be increased in the future) Can be easily grasped by distinguishing them in the bonus detail screen image G500. In addition, by displaying the bonus detail screen image G500 that distinguishes the effect that occurs at the present time and the effect that does not occur at the present time, the level parameter of the event character from among a plurality of level parameter ranges divided in stages The range to which the current value belongs can be easily grasped.

  Further, as in the present embodiment, when a predetermined operation is performed from the event character screen image G400, the bonus detail screen image G500 is displayed, and when the user wants to confirm, the level parameter of the event character The correspondence with the effect can be displayed. When the correspondence information is displayed in a state where an image for accepting an operation for selecting a base character is displayed, the level parameter and effect of the base character are selected on the same screen when selecting the base character. Can be confirmed. As a result, the user can confirm the relationship between the level parameter of the base character and the effect without performing a screen switching operation for selecting the base character.

  Further, in the material character selection screen image G1900, since the condition information regarding the condition for permitting the level parameter of the event character to exceed the maximum level can be seen, the user understands the condition, and then the material. A character can be selected. For this reason, the user can easily determine whether or not the selected base character and material character are an appropriate combination. In addition, for example, the user can nurture a hero character having a specific tendency by increasing the highest level of an event character of a specific good practice.

  Further, in the material character selection screen image G1900, when selecting a material character, it is possible to see whether or not the condition for increasing the maximum level of the base character can be satisfied (whether they are the same character). Can select a material character after knowing whether the highest level is likely to increase. In addition, since it becomes easy for the user to grasp whether or not the material character satisfies the condition for increasing the maximum level, an erroneous selection that causes the user character to be selected even though the maximum level cannot be increased. It becomes easy to prevent. For example, in the material character selection screen image G1900, when selecting a material character, it is possible to see the probability for the highest level of the base character to increase, so the user grasps this probability and then selects the material character. You can choose. Therefore, the user can strategically select the material character in consideration of the probability that the highest level of the base character will increase.

  Further, if the event character is incorporated in the event deck by displaying the event power in the event character screen image G400, before starting the success part, how much effect is generated in the development of the main character in the success part. Can be easily grasped.

  In addition, by displaying the player ability on the event character screen image G400, it is easy to determine which event character is advantageous for winning the game in the success part before starting the success part. I can grasp it.

  Moreover, the strategy of a game can be improved by considering whether the event character used in the game in a success part is selected, or the event character which is not used in the game in a success part is selected.

[Summary of the second technology]
In addition, if it is advantageous for the stadium part to execute the success part with the special character selected, such as during a limited time event, the special character is not the event character currently built in the event deck. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the event character incorporated in the event deck from being fixed. In addition, for example, since a score bonus is given to an original character by training using a special effect character in a limited time event, it is possible to train with a sense of tension by training in a limited time. In addition, since the period during which the score bonus is granted is limited as in the case of a limited time event, it is possible to suppress the development of original characters without limitation, so that the balance of strength between users is within a certain range. It can be easy to keep. That is, when the period during which the score bonus is given is not limited, the user who owns the special effect character continues to be advantageous in terms of score, but such a state is prevented by limiting the period. be able to. In addition, since it is not the original character itself used in the game itself but the special effect character that makes it possible to give a score bonus to the original character in a limited-time event, it has an indirect effect on the game. As a result, it is possible to realize a game that has deep gameplay and never gets tired.

  Further, in the event deck setting screen image G300, the event character change screen image G600, and the like, information on the special effect character and information on other event characters are distinguished, so the user selects an event character to be incorporated in the event deck. In this case, it is possible to easily grasp which character is the special effect character. For this reason, it becomes easy for the user to consider the best event deck including the special effect character and other event characters.

  In addition, in the limited-time order editing screen image G2300 of FIG. 30, the score bonus given to the original character of the order and the total value thereof are displayed. Therefore, when the user battles the limited-time event game with the current order, It is possible to easily grasp whether or not a score bonus of a degree can be acquired. Furthermore, the user can easily consider whether to place an order with priority given to the score bonus or to place an order with priority given to the ability parameter.

  Further, as shown in the event character change screen image G600 in FIG. 31, when the user selects an event character to be incorporated in the event deck, a score bonus to the main character by the special effect character is displayed. If it is built in, it is possible to easily grasp what kind of effect occurs in the stadium part.

  Further, the effect generated in the success part may be changed based on the ability parameter or level parameter of the special effect character. In this case, the effect generated in the success part can be changed, and the success part can be changed. The interest of the part can be improved. For example, if the ability parameter of a special effect character is higher, the effect generated in the success part is higher, and a special character with a low score bonus but a high ability parameter is incorporated into the event deck, or a special character with a high score bonus but a low ability parameter Can be made to think about whether or not to be incorporated into the event deck, and the interest of the success part can be improved. Furthermore, for example, if the special effect character's level parameter is higher, the effect that occurs in the success part will be higher, and the special effect character will be strengthened during the limited-time event and will be incorporated into the event deck, or the special effect character will be It is possible to think about whether to strengthen other event characters and incorporate them into the event deck without strengthening them, and to improve the interest of the success part. In addition, the user can be motivated to change the parameters of the special character.

  Also, as in this embodiment, if an advantageous effect for obtaining a reward at the stadium part occurs, the user will select a special character in order to obtain a large amount of reward, so the motivation to select the special character Can be made stronger.

  Moreover, since the effect in a stadium part changes based on the parameter of a special effect character, the effect which generate | occur | produces in a stadium part can be given, and the interest property of a stadium part can be improved. In addition, the user can be motivated to change the parameters of the special character.

  Also, if the effect changes based on the number of protagonist characters whose ability parameters are set based on the special characters, the ability parameters of more protagonists can be changed in the success part (more main characters can be Can be motivated by part)

  In addition, by making it possible to select an event character held by another user (friend) associated with the user, the ability parameter of the hero character can be changed based on the event character held by the success part or the other user. it can. As a result, for example, even if the user does not have a special character, if another user has a special character, an advantageous effect can be obtained in the stadium part, and a cooperative relationship can be established between the users. It can be a trigger. In addition, it is possible to give the user who holds the special effect character the opportunity to show off to other users that the special effect character is held. In addition, by making the stadium part a battle game, the development of the hero character by the special effect character can greatly influence the victory or defeat of the battle game, so that the special effect character can give more competitive consciousness among the users. .

[Summary of third technology]
In addition, according to the game system 1, since the good practice associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck is displayed in the good practice area A346, A1646, it is possible to grasp which practice is advantageous. You can select an event character (you can select an event character while knowing which practice the current event deck is advantageous to). In addition, in order to train the hero character so as to have the ability desired by the user, it becomes easy to grasp what kind of event character should be incorporated in the event deck.

  Further, according to the game system 1, when the good practice associated with the plurality of event characters incorporated in the event deck is the same, the information indicating the number is displayed in the good practice areas A346 and A1646, thereby displaying It is possible to easily view information related to good practice of the event deck without greatly changing the aspect. Also, if the good practice associated with multiple event characters incorporated in the event deck is the same, if the user selects that good practice, the protagonist's ability parameter greatly increases, so the effect that occurs in the current event deck The degree can be easily grasped.

  Further, according to the game system 1, in the good practice areas A346 and A1646, the good practice associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck is displayed separately from the other good practice. Therefore, it is easy to visually recognize what kind of main character can be trained in the current event deck.

  Further, according to the game system 1, in the good practice area A346, A1646, the practice when the main character is a fielder is displayed on the left side, the practice when a pitcher is displayed on the right side, and the role of the main character to be nurtured Practices are displayed in the order determined based on them. This makes it easy for the user to visually recognize what role the main character can be raised in the current event deck.

[Summary of the fourth technology]
In addition, according to the game system 1, when the content of the scenario changes based on the option, if a specific option is selected, a specific effect occurs even if a specific event character is not selected. Even if a specific event character is not held, a specific effect can be generated.

  Moreover, according to the game system 1, since a specific choice occurs only in a specific period, the user can enjoy a plurality of times even in the same scenario. That is, even if the user plays through each section of the scenario, a specific option is generated at a specific period, so that new contents can be played.

[Summary of the fifth technology]
Moreover, according to the game system 1, when a result of a certain user exceeds the result of another user, a challenge letter is sent to provide a game in which the users play against each other, thereby promoting competition among the users. can do. Also, for example, by sending a challenge letter, communication with friends can be activated. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the psychological burden because the player does not play against a partner who does not know at all, but battles with a user who has a friendship. In addition, for example, when a user receives a challenge while playing a game, it is possible to make a match close to real time and improve the interest of the game. Furthermore, by sending a challenge letter when the result of one user exceeds the result of another user, the challenge letter is sent from a user with a relatively close result, and a competitive consciousness is established among users who are close to competence. It can be given easily.

  Moreover, according to the game system 1, the user who has received the challenge letter can play against the original character owned by the user and the original character owned by the user who sent the challenge letter. For this reason, the motive for making the original character which each user possesses advantageous in a battle | competition (for example, raising an original character, editing an order, etc.) can be given.

  Moreover, according to the game system 1, the number of times of sending a challenge letter can be limited within a certain period. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the processing load on the server 30 due to a large number of challenge letters being transmitted. In addition, by restricting notification of challenge letters within a certain period, it is possible to avoid the confusion of receiving many challenge letters for the user who has received the challenge letter.

  Moreover, according to the game system 1, the reward in the battle game performed by receiving the challenge is a reward that can be advantageous to the user's achievement. Therefore, it is possible to give an opportunity to further compete to the user who sends the challenge letter using the reward.

[5. Modified example]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Modifications can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[5-1. Modification regarding first technology]
For example, in the embodiment, in order to increase the maximum level of the base character, the composition with the same material character is a condition, but a dedicated game item may be used to increase the maximum level of the event character. Good. Further, the dedicated game item may be one or a combination of a plurality of game items. In the case of a combination of a plurality of game items, for example, when the user owns three game items A and two game items B, by consuming these five game items in total The maximum level of the base character may be increased. In this case, you may make it the probability that the highest level increases with game items. For example, the probability may increase as the number of game items increases, or the probability may increase as the rarity of game items increases.

  Further, for example, in order to increase the highest level of the base character, the number of original characters trained in the success part by setting the base character on the event deck may be used as a condition. For example, the maximum level may be increased by 1 when the number of original characters grown is 3 or more, and the maximum level may be increased by 2 when the number is 5 or more. That is, the highest level of increase may be increased as the number of original characters trained in the success part with the base character set on the event deck is increased.

  Further, for example, based on the rarity of the base character and the material character, the increase amount of the highest level may be changed instead of the probability that the highest level of the base character increases. In this case, for example, when the “R” material character is used for the “R” base character, the maximum level increases by “2”, and the “SR” material character is increased for the “R” base character. When is used, the maximum level may be increased by “5”. That is, the increase amount of the highest level of the base character may be increased as the rarity level of the material character is increased.

  Further, for example, a case has been described in which when a certain base character is strengthened by using a plurality of material characters having the same name, it is determined whether or not the maximum level is increased once for each material character. For example, when strengthening using two material characters whose probability of increasing the maximum level is “30%”, a case has been described in which it is determined twice whether to increase the maximum level by 1 with a probability of 30%. Furthermore, “30%” and “30%” may be added together to determine whether or not the maximum level is increased by 1 with a probability of “60%”.

[5-2. Modification regarding second technology]
For example, special effects may be generated not only in the score bonus in the stadium part but also in the event deck by incorporating it into the event deck, or the effect of the hero character in the success part may occur. You may make it produce an effect with respect to a cultivation result. For example, by incorporating a special effect character in the event deck, an effect that does not occur outside a specific period may occur in the success part, or a bonus of an ability parameter is given to the main character at the end of the success part. You may do it.

  In addition, for example, when a special effect character is incorporated into an event deck, the period during which a specific effect occurs in the success part may be the same as the period during which a score bonus is attached to the original character trained using the special effect character. The periods may be different from each other.

  In addition, for example, a case has been described in which a score bonus is attached at the end of a game at a limited time event by nurturing an original character using a special effect character. However, there may be an effect during a game at a limited time event. For example, the ability parameter of the original character placed in the order may be increased, or the score of the team may be increased.

  Further, for example, the case where the score bonus generated by using the special effect character is displayed in the event deck setting area A340 (FIG. 32) of the event deck setting screen image G300 (FIG. 5) has been described, but the effect generated by the special effect character is described. The screen to be displayed is not limited to this, and may be displayed on an arbitrary screen related to the event character corresponding to the special effect character. For example, the score bonus by the special effect character may be displayed on the event character screen image G400 (FIG. 7) of the special effect character. Similarly, the score bonus given to the original character may be displayed in the list of original characters.

  In addition, for example, a case has been described where a score bonus is awarded when a protagonist character is trained in a state in which a special effect character is incorporated in an event deck during a limited-time event, but it is not a limited-time event, but before that When the hero character is trained in a state where the special effect character is incorporated in the event deck, that is, even if the hero character has already been trained, a score bonus may be given. That is, the hero character may be trained in a state where the special effect character is incorporated in the event deck, and the breeding time may be before the period limited event is held.

[5-3. Modification regarding third technology]
Further, for example, any one of a plurality of good practices displayed in the good practice areas A346, A1646 (FIGS. 6, 10, 22, 32) can be selected, and an event character having a good practice selected by the user is displayed on the display unit 15. You may make it display on. In this way, the user can easily create an event deck for efficiently enhancing a desired ability parameter. In this case, the practice display control unit 1190 specifies the practice selected by the user from the plurality of practices based on the input from the input unit 14. Then, the practice display control unit 1190 refers to the event character table TBL302 and selects an event character that is good at the identified practice. The practice display control unit 1190 may display only the identified event character on the display unit 15 among the event characters held by the user. In addition, for example, the practice display control unit 1190 may display the event character selected as the best practice selected by the user and the other event characters.

  Further, for example, any of a plurality of good practices displayed in the good practice areas A346, A1646 (FIGS. 6, 10, 22, 32) can be selected, and setting frames A344-1 to A344-5, A345 (FIG. 6) are selected. , 10, 22, and 32) (that is, the event characters currently incorporated in the event deck) are displayed on the display unit 15 so that the event characters having good practice selected by the user can be identified. It may be. In this way, for example, the user can easily specify an event character having a good ability to be replaced, so that a desired event deck can be easily set. In this case, the practice display control unit 1190 specifies the practice selected by the user from the plurality of practices based on the input from the input unit 14. Then, the practice display control unit 1190 refers to the event character table TBL302 and the event deck table TBL303, and identifies the good practice of the event character currently incorporated in the event deck. Note that the practice display control unit 1190 may acquire the best practice of the assistant from the server 30. The practice display control unit 1190 compares the practice selected by the user with the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck, and displays the comparison result on the display unit 15. For example, the practice display control unit 1190 displays an event character whose practice selected by the user is good practice and an event character whose practice selected by the user is not good practice. The practice display control unit 1190 may change the display mode of the event character whose practice selected by the user is good practice and the event character whose practice selected by the user is not good practice. Different display may be performed by changing the brightness. In this case, the event character whose practice selected by the user is good practice may be displayed brightly, and the event character whose practice selected by the user is good practice may be displayed darker.

[5-4. Modification regarding the fourth technology]
Further, for example, a time limit may be set for the main character that can be trained as a success part. In this case, it is assumed that time information regarding the success part is stored in the “training status” field of the original character table TBL304. This time is a start time of the success part, a predetermined time after the start time, or a time limit for playing the success part. The first game executing unit 1020 determines whether or not the time limit determined based on the time information has elapsed, and if it has determined that the time has elapsed, the first game executing unit 1020 interrupts the breeding of the main character and starts over again. It's okay.

  Further, for example, the section that can be selected by the user may differ depending on the event character incorporated in the event deck. In this case, the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like stores information indicating the relationship between each section and an event character that can be incorporated into the event deck. The first game execution unit 1020 refers to the event deck table TBL303, specifies a section that can be selected by an event character incorporated in the event deck, and executes the specified section in the success part. In this way, since a specific option is generated by a specific event character, it is possible to give the user a motivation to collect many types of event characters.

  Furthermore, a specific option may be generated when a next section is selected depending on a combination of a specific event character and a scenario. In this case, when the combination of the specific event character and the scenario is a specific combination, a specific option is generated when the next section is selected. In this way, since a specific option is generated depending on the combination of a specific event character and a scenario, it is possible to provide the user with an opportunity to use many event characters.

  Furthermore, there may be a branch that occurs on the condition that there is a specific combination of event characters in the event deck. That is, there may be a section that can be selected by the user when there is a specific combination of event characters in the event deck. In this case, it is assumed that information indicating a relationship between a predetermined combination of event characters and information related to branching is stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like. The information related to branching is information indicating sections that can be selected by the user. The first game execution unit 1020 refers to the event deck table TBL303 and determines whether or not the combination of event characters incorporated in the event deck is a predetermined combination indicated by the above information. If the first game execution unit 1020 determines that the combination is a predetermined combination, the first game execution unit 1020 generates a branch associated with the combination. In other words, the first game execution unit 1020 generates a branch that occurs only in a predetermined combination, and advances the section selected by the user based on the input from the input unit 14. Here, the section may be automatically selected without user selection. In this way, since a specific option is generated by a combination of a plurality of specific event characters, it is possible to give the user a motivation to collect many types of event characters. There may be a branch that occurs on the condition that one specific event character is incorporated in the event deck instead of a combination of specific event characters. Further, a plurality of specific event characters may be prepared. That is, when “A”, “B”, and “C” are prepared as specific event characters, a predetermined branch may occur if only one of these is incorporated into the event deck.

  Further, for example, a predetermined effect may occur in the success part based on a combination of the section selected by the user and the event character incorporated in the event deck. In this case, it is assumed that the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like stores information indicating the relationship between each section, event character, and effect. The first effect generating unit 1021 refers to the event deck table TBL303 and determines whether or not the event character associated with the section being executed is incorporated in the event deck. When it is determined that the first effect generating unit 1021 is incorporated, the first effect generating unit 1021 generates an effect associated with the section and the event character in the success part.

  Further, for example, the effect may be generated in the success part based on a combination of sections selected by the user at present or in the past. In this case, it is assumed that information indicating the relationship between the combination of sections and the effect is stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like. Information indicating the section selected by the user is stored in the individual data storage unit 1000. The first effect generating unit 1021 generates, in the success part, an effect associated with a combination of a section currently selected by the user and a past section or a combination of a plurality of sections selected by the user in the past. Become. In other words, when a plurality of branches occur in the success part, the first effect generating unit 1021 generates a predetermined effect in the success part based on a combination of branches selected by the user in the past. Also good. For example, the first effect generating unit 1021 generates a predetermined effect in the third section of the success part based on the combination of the first section and the second section selected by the user. Also good. In other words, the first effect generating unit 1021 may generate an effect that occurs only when the user selects a predetermined combination of branches in the success part. For example, the first effect generating unit 1021 generates an effect that is generated only when the combination of the first section and the second section selected by the user is a predetermined combination. It may be generated in a section.

  Further, for example, based on a combination of sections selected by the user in the past or in the past, sections that can be selected thereafter may be changed. In this case, it is assumed that the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like stores information indicating the relationship between the combination of sections and selectable sections. Information indicating the section selected by the user is stored in the data storage unit 100. The second game execution unit can select only the section associated with the combination of sections selected by the user from the sections existing in the success part. In this way, a specific option is generated depending on the combination of options, so that the user can be provided with an opportunity to try the combination of options. For this reason, a scenario that can be enjoyed a plurality of times can be provided to the user.

[5-5. Modification regarding fifth technique]
Further, for example, in the embodiment, a case has been described in which a challenge is sent when a friend overtakes the user's score, but a predetermined privilege may be given to a user who has overtaken the score. The privilege may be a privilege that makes it easier for a friend who has passed the score to pass. For example, a special character or a game item may be given to a user who has overtaken a score by a friend so that the friend can be easily overtaken.

  Also, for example, a case has been described where a challenge is sent when a friend overtakes a certain user's score, but the challenge is sent based on whether or not the friend's score satisfies a preset condition. It may be. For example, a challenge letter may be sent when the difference in score between the user and the friend is within a predetermined value, or a challenge letter when the friend makes a difference between the user score and the predetermined value or more. May be sent. Similarly, a challenge letter may be sent when the difference between the ranking of the user and the friend is within a predetermined value, or when the friend gives a difference of more than the predetermined value from the user's ranking. A letter may be sent.

  For example, although the case where the score of each user was reset for every predetermined period was demonstrated, the score does not need to be reset. Furthermore, the timing at which the score is reset may not be the timing at which the predetermined period has elapsed. For example, the score may be reset when the user achieves a given goal.

  For example, although the case where the high score of each user in a predetermined period was competed was demonstrated, you may make it compete for the accumulated value of each user's score. In this case, it may be a cumulative value of scores in a predetermined period, or may be a cumulative value of scores in all past periods.

  Further, for example, not all of the user's friends may be subject to the challenge. For example, only the friend designated by the user among the friends may be the target of the challenge. For example, when a team is formed by a plurality of users and played, only users of the same team may be targeted. Furthermore, only the user who applied for the battle in the past or the user who applied for the battle in the past may be targeted.

  Further, for example, the case where the challenge letter is automatically sent has been described, but the challenge letter may be sent when the user performs a predetermined operation. In other words, the challenge is not sent to the user immediately after the friend overtakes the user's score, but the challenge is sent until the friend or the user performs a predetermined operation. Also good.

  Further, for example, the number of challenge letters that a certain user can send may be limited. For example, the number of times the challenge is sent may be limited to 3 times a day.

  Further, for example, a reward for a game using a challenge letter may be different from a reward for a normal game. In this case, a game using a challenge may be better rewarded than a normal game. In addition, for example, when a configuration is provided in which a player can play against a friend without consuming a game ticket or the like (here, referred to as a practice game), a reward such as a medal or a ticket may not be obtained in this practice game. However, a game using a challenge may be rewarded. Moreover, when it is set as the structure which can receive a reward also in a practice game, you may make it the reward which is better than the reward of the practice game for the game using a challenge letter. Conversely, in a game using a challenge, you may not be able to get a reward. Further, the difference in reward may be a difference in whether the reward is large or small, or may be a difference in the type of reward.

  Also, for example, a challenge letter may be sent based on other than the score and ranking. For example, in the case of a game in which the user advances a plurality of stages, a challenge may be sent when a friend overtakes the stage in progress.

[5-6. Other variations]
Further, for example, as described with reference to FIG. 3, when the user plays the success part, the event deck is set in the prepart and the main part is started. Thereafter, the main part is played. The content of the event deck cannot be changed (the event character incorporated in the event deck cannot be changed or replaced). In this way, the main part can be started after careful consideration of the hero character development policy and the contents of the event deck, and the game can be more tensioned. Conversely, the contents of the event deck may be changeable in the main part. In this case, when the main part is not able to train the main character, the content of the event deck can be reviewed during the course to correct the main character's training trajectory.

  In addition, for example, the case where the user selects one to be incorporated into the event deck from among a plurality of event characters has been described as an example, but there may be only one event character. In this case, the level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter of one event character. The first effect generating unit 1021 generates an effect on the success part related to the change or setting of the ability parameter of the main character based on the level parameter of one event character. Further, the effect display control unit 1060 has correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the level parameter of one event character and the effect generated by the first effect generating unit 1021 (for example, the bonus detailed screen image G500 in FIG. 8). Will be executed to display on the display unit 15. These processes are the same as those described in the embodiment except that there is one event character.
