Description

  The present invention relates to a game control method, an information processing apparatus, and a program.

  Conventionally, in a video game using an information processing apparatus such as a computer, a battle game in which a user operates a character in the game and battles with an opponent is known (for example, Patent Document 1). In such a battle game, for example, a turn-based battle system is employed. In the turn-based battle method, the battle progresses when the user selects a command for each turn and determines the action of the player character.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

  First, a game system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The game system 10 according to the present embodiment includes a server device 11 and a plurality of terminal devices 12. In FIG. 1, only one terminal device 12 is shown for the sake of simplicity. The server device 11 provides a game to the terminal device 12.

  Here, an outline of the game according to the present embodiment will be described. The game according to the present embodiment has two game modes, for example, a first game mode and a second game mode performed using a game medium. The game medium is electronic data used for the game, and includes any medium such as a card, an item, a character, and an avatar. The game media is electronic data that can be acquired, held, used, managed, exchanged, combined, strengthened, sold, discarded, and / or gifted by the user. It is not limited to what is done. Hereinafter, a character will be described as an example of a game medium.

  The first game mode is a game mode in which a single user advances the game, for example. In the first game mode, the user performs a battle with an opponent such as NPC using, for example, a character owned in the game. The battle is performed when a predetermined event occurs during the game, such as encountering an enemy character. In the first game mode, the user can obtain a reward such as a game medium by winning the opponent in the game, or by achieving a set mission (quest).

  The second game mode is a game mode in which a plurality of users advance the game, for example. In the second game mode, the user cooperates with another user belonging to the same group (guild) using, for example, a character owned in the game, and the user's character belonging to the NPC or another group or the like. Play real-time battles with your opponents. In the second game mode, the user can acquire a reward such as a game medium by winning the opponent, for example, or can increase the ranking ranking among a plurality of groups. In the second game mode, a playable time zone may be determined. In the present embodiment, the second game mode can be played only in a predetermined time zone A as shown in FIG. In addition, the user who is playing the second game mode may be able to play the first game mode by interrupting the play of the second game mode at an arbitrary timing. It may be possible to return to the played at any timing.

  In the present embodiment, the battle in the second game mode is a battle in which groups to which a plurality of users belong compete for victory or defeat. A battle between groups is conventionally called a guild battle or a GvG (Guild vs Guild or Group vs Group) battle. For example, in a real-time GvG match that progresses in a turn-based manner, in each turn that is alternately provided for each group, each user who belongs to the group in which the turn is in progress selects a command for causing the character that the user owns to act To do. The action is, for example, attack, recovery, and defense, but may include, for example, movement of a character. As will be described later, commands that can be selected by the user in the second game mode include a first command and a second command. The character consumes action points that recover by a predetermined amount at the start of the turn, and executes an action according to the command selected by the user. If, for example, all the characters related to the opponent's group become unable to battle due to the actions of the characters of each user, the victory of the own group is determined.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the server device 11 includes a server communication unit 13, a server storage unit 14, a first reception unit 15, a determination unit 16, a second reception unit 17, and a server control unit 18. .

  The server communication unit 13 is an interface that communicates with an external device wirelessly or by wire and transmits and receives information. The server communication unit 13 transmits and receives information to and from the terminal device 12 via a network 19 such as the Internet.

  The server storage unit 14 stores various information and programs necessary for providing and controlling the game. For example, the server storage unit 14 stores user information 20.

  The user information 20 is unique information regarding each user, and includes various information necessary for the user to play the game. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the user information 20 includes a group ID, a representative flag, a game medium ID, and a medium parameter in association with the user ID.

  The user ID is information that can uniquely identify the user, and is, for example, an arbitrary character string or a name arbitrarily set by the user.

  The group ID is information that can uniquely identify a group (for example, guild) to which the user belongs, and is, for example, an arbitrary character string or a name arbitrarily set by the user who established the group.

  The representative flag is information indicating whether or not the corresponding user is a representative of the group (for example, a guild master). Each group has one representative user. The user who is a representative may have a predetermined authority regarding the group to which the user belongs. For example, a user who is a representative can execute approval of member joining and leaving the group, transmission of a request for participation in a battle in the second game mode, transmission of an instruction to the members of the group, and the like.

  The game medium ID is information that can uniquely identify the character used for the battle in the second game mode among the characters owned by the user.

  The medium parameters are various parameters associated (set) with the corresponding character. Examples of parameters include, but are not limited to, rarity, level, HP, AT, DF, and attribute. The rarity is a parameter indicating the rarity of the character, and the rarity is indicated by a plurality of stages such as normal, rare, and super rare. The level is a parameter indicating the degree of character growth, and the higher the level, the higher the degree of growth. HP is a parameter indicating the physical strength of the character. For example, the HP decreases when attacked by another character, and becomes zero when the character becomes zero. The AT is a parameter indicating the character's attack power. The higher the AT, the higher the damage to the other character due to the attack, and the other character's HP is likely to be greatly reduced. The DF is a parameter indicating the defense power of the character. The higher the DF, the lower the damage received from other characters, and the more difficult it is to reduce the HP. The attribute is a parameter indicating any attribute of fire, water, and wood, for example, and is information regarding compatibility between attributes. Fire attributes are advantageous over tree attributes, tree attributes are advantageous over water attributes, and water attributes are advantageous over fire attributes. Here, “advantageous” means, for example, an effect that a character having a fire attribute increases the amount of damage to another character having a tree attribute.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the user information 20 includes a plurality of first commands, second commands, role flags, and action points in association with the user ID. The user ID is the same as the user ID shown in FIG. The plurality of first commands, second commands, role flags, and action points may be stored in the server storage unit 14 in association with the game medium ID as information unique to the game medium.

  The first command is a command predetermined by a game developer, for example, and is a command for causing a character to execute a predetermined action (basic action), for example. Basic actions include, for example, attack, recovery, and defense. The user can select a part of the first commands from among the plurality of first commands in the battle in the second game mode. The first command includes, for example, command content, attributes, and behavior cost information.

  The content of the command indicates the action performed by the character by executing the first command. For example, “attack” indicates an action that reduces the HP of another character. “Recovery” indicates an action to increase (recover) the HP of the player character. “Defense” indicates an action for reducing the amount of damage received when an attack is received from another character. In addition, the content of the command is appropriately determined according to the battle method or the like. For example, in the case of a game in which a character can move on the game field, the content of the command may include the movement of the character.

  The attribute indicates, for example, any attribute of fire, water, and wood. Alternatively, the attribute may indicate the nature of the action performed by the character by executing the command (for example, slashing, striking, magic, etc.).

  The action cost is information indicating the amount of action points consumed when executing the first command. When the action point owned by the user is less than the action cost, the user cannot select the command.

  The second command is a command for causing the character to execute a special action, for example, and is a command determined according to two or more first commands. Details of the second command will be described later.

  The role flag is a flag indicating the role of the character. In the present embodiment, the role flag indicates either “avant-garde” or “avant-garde”. For example, in a battle in the second game mode, a character that is a vanguard can attack a character in any role of the opponent group. On the other hand, the character that is the rear guard can attack only the front guard character of the opponent group.

  The action point is information indicating the amount of action points owned by the user. When the user selects the first command, action points corresponding to the action cost corresponding to the first command are consumed. In addition, the action points are recovered (increased) by a predetermined value every time the turn of the group to which the user belongs is started in the battle in the second game mode.

  When the first reception unit 15 illustrated in FIG. 1 acquires information indicating the setting of two or more first commands for determining a second command from the terminal device 12 that displays an editing screen described later, The setting of the two or more first commands is received based on the information. Two or more set first commands are used to determine the second command. Suitably, the 1st reception part 15 determines the presence or absence of falsification with respect to the information acquired from the terminal device 12, and receives the setting of the said 2 or more 1st command, when it determines with there being no falsification.

  Here, the type and number of the first commands that can be accepted by the first accepting unit 15 may be determined based on the user information 20. For example, depending on whether or not the user is a representative of the group, the type and number of the first commands that can accept the setting change. As an example, the types and number of first commands that can accept settings for a user who is a representative are greater than the types and numbers of first commands that can accept settings for a user who is not a representative. Also, for example, the type and number of first commands that can be accepted for setting change according to the character or character parameters used by the user for the battle in the second game mode. As an example, the higher the character level, the more types and number of first commands that can be accepted. Further, for example, the type and number of the first commands that can accept the setting change according to the attribute associated with each of the plurality of first commands included in the user information 20. As an example, the first command that can accept the setting is limited to the first command having the same attribute as the character attribute.

  The determination unit 16 determines a second command corresponding to the set two or more first commands based on the setting received by the first reception unit 15. Details of the process for determining the second command will be described later. Further, the determination unit 16 causes the server storage unit 14 to store the determined second command.

  If the 2nd reception part 17 acquires the information which shows selection of a 1st command or a 2nd command from the terminal device 12 which displays the battle | competition screen mentioned later during the battle | competition by a 2nd game mode, based on the said information The selection of the first command or the second command is accepted. Preferably, the second receiving unit 17 determines whether or not the information acquired from the terminal device 12 has been tampered with, and determines that there is no tampering, and receives the selection of the first command or the second command. .

  The server control unit 18 is, for example, a CPU that realizes a specific function by reading a specific program, and implements the functional units of the first reception unit 15, the determination unit 16, and the second reception unit 17. The server control unit 18 controls the operation of the entire server device 11 and the progress of the entire game.

  For example, the server control unit 18 controls the progress of the game in the first game mode. Specifically, when the server control unit 18 acquires information indicating the setting of the first command used for the battle in the second game mode from the terminal device 12 that displays a medium display screen described later, Based on this, the setting of the first command is accepted. The set first command is defined as a first command that can be used in a battle in the second game mode. Preferably, the server control unit 18 determines whether or not the information acquired from the terminal device 12 has been falsified, and accepts the setting of the first command when it is determined that the information has not been falsified.

  Here, the type and number of first commands that can be accepted by the server control unit 18 may be determined based on the user information 20. For example, depending on whether or not the user is a representative of the group, the type and number of the first commands that can accept the setting change. As an example, the types and number of first commands that can accept settings for a user who is a representative are greater than the types and numbers of first commands that can accept settings for a user who is not a representative. Also, for example, the type and number of first commands that can be accepted for setting change according to the character or character parameters used by the user for the battle in the second game mode. As an example, the higher the character level, the more types and number of first commands that can be accepted. Further, for example, the type and number of the first commands that can accept the setting change according to the attribute associated with each of the plurality of first commands included in the user information 20. As an example, the first command that can accept the setting is limited to the first command having the same attribute as the character attribute.

  Further, the server control unit 18 controls the progress of the battle in the second game mode. For example, when the second reception unit 17 receives the selection of the first command or the second command during the battle in the second game mode, the server control unit 18 selects the selected first command or the selected one. The second command is executed, and the game (match) is advanced based on the execution result. Specifically, the server control unit 18 causes the user's character to execute an action corresponding to the selected command, for example, and increases or decreases the parameters of the own character or another character. For example, the server control unit 18 determines that a character whose HP is zero and a character that is in a predetermined abnormal state are in a battle-impossible state. The server control unit 18 determines the winning or losing of the battle based on the number of times the character is in a battle impossible state or the number of characters in the battle impossible state. Preferably, the server control unit 18 executes a battle in the second game mode in a specific time zone A as shown in FIG. Specifically, the server control unit 18 starts a battle in the second game mode at the start time of the time zone A, ends the battle at the end time of the time zone A, and determines the win or loss of the battle.

  Further, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the server control unit 18 receives a screen transition request from the terminal device 12 to a medium display screen and an editing screen described later in a specific time zone B. Suitably, the start time of the time slot | zone B is equal to the end time of the time slot | zone A where the battle | competition by a 2nd game mode is performed. Preferably, the end time of the time zone B is determined a predetermined time before the start time of the next time zone A.

  In addition, the server control unit 18 transmits a display instruction for the medium display screen or the edit screen to the terminal device 12 in response to the transition request received from the terminal device 12. The display instruction includes information necessary for displaying the target screen on the terminal device 12.

  Next, details of the process in which the determination unit 16 determines the second command will be described. As described above, the second command is determined according to the set two or more first commands. The two or more first commands may include a plurality of identical first commands. In the following description, it is assumed that three first commands respectively corresponding to defense, recovery, and attack are set.

  In one example, the determination unit 16 determines a second command including two or more set first commands. In the present embodiment, the determination unit 16 determines one command for executing a plurality of basic actions corresponding to two or more set first commands as the second command. For example, the second command is a command for executing three actions of defense, recovery, and attack. In this case, when the second command is executed during the battle in the second game mode, the user character executes defense, recovery, and attack in one turn, for example. Alternatively, the user's character sequentially executes defense, recovery, and attack in three consecutive turns.

  Here, the determination unit 16 determines the second command so that the execution result when executing two or more first commands and the execution result when executing the second command are different. Also good. Specifically, if each of the two or more first commands is executed, for example, the amount of damage taken becomes 1/4 by defense, the HP increases by 100 points by recovery, and the HP of another character by 200 points by attack Decrease. In addition, the action point of the player character is reduced by 90 points in total (10 points for defense, 30 points for recovery, and 50 points for attack). On the other hand, when the second command is executed, for example, the damage amount is halved by the defense, the HP is increased by 150 points by the recovery, and the HP of the other character is reduced by 50 points by the attack. Will be reduced by 10 points, and the other character will be in an abnormal state (for example, a poisoned state). Also, the action point of the player character is reduced by 45 points (5 points for defense, 15 points for recovery, and 25 points for attack). Thus, the increase / decrease amount of the parameter when executing the second command may be larger than the increase / decrease amount of the parameter when executing the two or more set first commands, or It may be small. Alternatively, the parameter that varies when executing two or more set first commands may be different from the parameter that varies when executing the second command.

  As described above, since the second command is determined so that the execution result when executing the two or more first commands and the execution result when executing the second command are different, Adjustment is easy. For example, if the number of commands that can be selected in one turn is limited in a match in the second game mode, it is compared with the amount of increase / decrease in parameters that change due to the execution of two or more first commands. Thus, by decreasing the increase / decrease amount of the parameter that varies due to the execution of the second command (for example, decreasing the decrease in HP due to the attack), the selection of the second command substantially increases the two or more first It is possible to prevent multiple commands from being selected at once. Alternatively, the demerit of selecting the second command is formed by increasing the increase / decrease amount of the parameter that varies due to the execution of the second command (for example, increasing the decrease amount of the action point due to the execution of the action). It is possible to prevent the user from selecting only the second command and proceeding with the game.

  The determining unit 16 may determine the second command based on the order in which each of the two or more first commands is set. For example, the smaller the order in which the first commands are set, the more the amount of parameter increase / decrease that varies depending on the behavior corresponding to the first command when the second command is executed. Further, when the first command is set in a predetermined order (for example, third), when the second command is executed, the amount of increase / decrease in the parameter that varies depending on the behavior corresponding to the first command varies. May be. In addition, when the same first command is set a plurality of times in succession, the larger the number of consecutive, the more the increase / decrease amount of the parameter that varies depending on the action corresponding to the first command when the second command is executed May vary.

  The determination unit 16 may determine the second command based on attributes associated with each of the two or more first commands. For example, as the number of first commands having a common attribute (for example, fire attribute) among two or more first commands increases, the amount of increase / decrease in the parameter that varies due to the execution of the second command varies. Also good. In addition, when all of the two or more first commands have a common attribute, the increase / decrease amount of the parameter that varies due to the execution of the second command may further vary.

  In another example, the determination unit 16 may determine a second command that does not include the first command. For example, the determination unit 16 determines, as the second command, one command for executing the special action according to the set two or more first commands. The special action is an action different from the basic action, for example. Specifically, the determination unit 16 determines the second command by a predetermined algorithm based on the set two or more first commands. For example, the determination unit 16 identifies the type of parameter that fluctuates when executing two or more set first commands, and calculates an increase / decrease amount of the parameter. The determination unit 16 determines the second command so that the parameter of the same type as the identified type is changed by the calculated increase / decrease amount. Preferably, the determination unit 16 determines the second command based on at least one of the order and attributes of the two or more set first commands, similarly to the above-described example. In addition, the determination unit 16 produces an effect (for example, an effect by screen display and an effect by sound) when executing the action of the character corresponding to two or more first commands, and the character corresponding to the second command. You may differ from the production | presentation in the case of performing special action.

  The terminal device 12 includes a terminal communication unit 21, a terminal storage unit 22, a display unit 23, and a terminal control unit 24.

  The terminal communication unit 21 is an interface that communicates with an external device wirelessly or by wire and transmits and receives information. The terminal communication unit 21 transmits and receives information to and from the server device 11 via the network 19, for example.

  The terminal storage unit 22 stores various information and programs necessary for game processing provided from the server device 11. For example, the terminal storage unit 22 stores a game application according to the present embodiment in advance.

  The display unit 23 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display, and displays various game screens related to a game provided from the server device 11. Specifically, the display unit 23 displays a medium display screen, an edit screen, and a battle screen, which will be described later. Further, the display unit 23 is configured by a touch panel, for example, and functions as an input interface that receives an operation by the user.

  The terminal control unit 24 is a CPU that realizes a specific function by reading a specific program, for example, and controls the operation of the entire terminal device 12. For example, the terminal control unit 24 executes a game application in response to a user operation, communicates with the server device 11, and starts the game. In addition, when the terminal control unit 24 acquires a screen display instruction or an update instruction from the server device 11, the terminal control unit 24 displays the screen on the display unit 23 or updates the screen based on the instruction. In addition, the terminal control unit 24 transmits information based on user operations received via various game screens to the server device 11. Specifically, the terminal control unit 24 sets a transition request for transitioning the screen displayed on the display unit 23 to another screen, and settings of two or more first commands received via an editing screen described later. Information indicating the selection of the first command or the second command received via the battle screen, which will be described later, is transmitted to the server device 11.

  Next, various screens displayed on the display unit 23 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The medium display screen 25 shown in FIG. 5 is a screen for displaying information related to the character used for the battle in the second game mode. The medium display screen 25 includes an image display area 26, a medium parameter display area 27, a role setting area 28, a plurality of command setting areas 29, and an edit button 30.

  The image display area 26 is an area for displaying a character image.

  The medium parameter display area 27 is an area for displaying character parameters. In the medium parameter display area 27, for example, various parameters such as the character level, HP, AT, and DF are displayed.

  The role setting area 28 is an input interface that receives the setting of the role of the character (avant-garde or rear-guard). The user can set an arbitrary role among a plurality of roles displayed in a drop-down format, for example, by tapping the role setting area 28.

  The command setting area 29 is an input interface that receives the setting of the first command used in the battle in the second game mode. The user can set an arbitrary first command among a plurality of first commands displayed in a drop-down format, for example, by tapping the command setting area 29.

  The edit button 30 is an input interface for transmitting a request to change the screen to the edit screen. When the edit button 30 is tapped by the user, the terminal device 12 transmits a screen transition request to the edit screen to the server device 11.

  The edit screen 31 shown in FIG. 6 is a screen for setting two or more first commands for determining the second command. The edit screen 31 includes a cost display area 32, a command content display area 33, two or more command setting areas 34, an automatic button 35, and an enter button 36.

  The cost display area 32 is an area for displaying a total value of action costs corresponding to two or more first commands set in the command setting area 34.

  The command content display area 33 is an area for displaying the contents of commands corresponding to two or more first commands set in the command setting area 34 in the order in which the first commands are set. For example, the command content display area 33 shown in FIG. 6 indicates that three first commands are set in the order of defense, recovery, and attack.

  The plurality of command setting areas 34 are input interfaces for setting two or more first commands for determining a second command. The user can set an arbitrary first command among a plurality of first commands displayed in a drop-down format, for example, by tapping the command setting area 34.

  Here, the behavior cost of each of the two or more first commands set for determining the second command may be different from the behavior cost value included in the user information 20, for example. In the present embodiment, the behavior cost of each of the two or more first commands set for determining the second command is reduced to half of the behavior cost included in the user information 20. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the action cost of attack in the user information 20 is 50 points, the action cost of recovery is 30 points, and the action cost of defense is 10 points. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, in the first command set for determining the second command, the attack action cost is 25 points, the recovery action cost is 15 points, and the defense action cost is 5 points. It is a point. Thus, since the action cost of the second command whose total action cost is a relatively high value is reduced, the user can easily use the second command in the battle.

  The automatic button 35 is an input interface for automatically setting two or more first commands for determining a second command. When the automatic button 35 is tapped by the user, two or more first commands are automatically set by a predetermined algorithm. For example, the server control unit 18 of the server device 11 compares information related to the user's character (for example, medium parameter) with information related to the character of the group that is the user's opponent, and is effective for the opponent. The combination of the above first commands is automatically set (for example, when the opponent character has the fire attribute, the first command having the water attribute is set with priority). Alternatively, the server control unit 18 refers to the history information of the user in the past battle in the second game mode, and the first command having a high execution frequency in the past battle or the first result that satisfies the predetermined result of the execution result. (For example, a first command with a success rate of 90% or more) may be set with priority.

  The decision button 36 is an input interface for confirming the setting of two or more first commands. When the edit button 30 is tapped by the user, the terminal device 12 receives settings of two or more first commands and transmits information indicating the settings to the server device 11.

  A battle screen 37 shown in FIG. 7 is a screen for performing a GvG battle in the second game mode. The battle screen 37 includes a first group display area 38, a second group display area 39, a battle information display area 40, a plurality of first command buttons 41, and a second command button 42.

  The first group display area 38 is an area for displaying the user character and other user characters of the group to which the user belongs. The first group display area 38 includes an avant-garde display area 43 for displaying the avant-garde character and a rear-guard display area 44 for displaying the avant-garde character.

  The second group display area 39 is an area for displaying the user characters of the opponent group. The second group display area 39 includes an avant-garde display area 45 for displaying the avant-garde character and a rear-guard display area 46 for displaying the avant-garde character.

  The battle information display area 40 is an area for displaying information indicating the progress of the game (match). In the battle information display area 40, for example, information such as the name of the user or character, the executed command, the action executed by the character, and the execution result of the command are displayed in chronological order.

  The first command button 41 is an input interface for accepting selection of the first command. When the first command button 41 is tapped by the user, the terminal device 12 receives the selection of the first command corresponding to the first command button 41 and transmits information indicating the selection to the server device 11. . The first command corresponding to the first command button 41 is the first command used for the battle in the second game mode (the first command set in the command setting area 29 shown in the medium display screen 25 in FIG. 5). Command). For example, attack and recovery are set in the command setting area 29 shown in FIG. For this reason, on the battle screen 37 shown in FIG. 7, two first command buttons 41 respectively corresponding to the attack and the recovery are provided.

  The second command button 42 is an input interface for accepting selection of the second command. When the second command button 42 is tapped by the user, the terminal device 12 receives the selection of the second command and transmits information indicating the selection to the server device 11. Here, when the second command causes a plurality of actions to be executed, it is not necessary to display the plurality of actions corresponding to the second command as independent buttons by displaying the second command button 42, The user's operation can be accepted within a limited display area of the display unit 23 of the terminal device 12. Further, the user can cause the character to execute a plurality of actions simply by tapping the second command button 42, thereby reducing the complexity of the game operation and improving usability. Moreover, since the information which shows selection of a 2nd command is transmitted to the server apparatus 11, the terminal device 12 transmits the information which performs one action to the server apparatus 11, in order to make a character perform several action. There is no need to do this multiple times. In other words, the terminal device 12 may transmit information that causes the character to perform a plurality of actions once to the server device 11. For this reason, even in a situation where the communication environment of the terminal device 12 is poor (for example, a situation where communication is intermittently disabled due to movement of the terminal device 12), adverse effects on the progress of the game can be reduced.

  Next, a process in which the game system 10 determines the second command will be described with reference to FIG. This process is executed in, for example, time zone B shown in FIG.

  First, the server device 11 stores a plurality of first commands (step S100). Here, the plurality of first commands may be, for example, first commands unique to the user, or may be first commands unique to the game media owned by the user.

  Next, the terminal device 12 transmits a request for changing the screen to the edit screen 31 to the server device 11 in response to a user operation on the edit button 30 on the medium display screen 25 (step S101).

  Next, the server device 11 transmits an instruction to display the edit screen 31 to the terminal device 12 (step S102). The display instruction includes information necessary for causing the terminal device 12 to display the editing screen 31, such as a plurality of first commands stored in step S100.

  Next, the terminal device 12 displays the editing screen 31 on the display unit 23 based on the display instruction acquired from the server device 11 (step S103).

  Subsequently, the terminal device 12 accepts settings of two or more first commands (step S104). The setting may be automatically performed according to the operation of the automatic button 35 on the editing screen 31, for example, or may be performed according to the user's operation on the command setting area 34.

  Subsequently, the terminal device 12 transmits information indicating the setting received in step S104 to the server device 11 (step S105).

  Next, the server device 11 accepts the setting of two or more first commands based on the information transmitted by the terminal device 12 in step S105 (step S106).

  Subsequently, the server device 11 determines a second command corresponding to the set two or more first commands (step S107).

  And the server apparatus 11 memorize | stores the determined 2nd command (step S108).

  Next, a process in which the game system 10 advances the battle in the second game mode will be described with reference to FIG. This process is repeatedly executed until, for example, the winning or losing of the battle is determined in the time zone A shown in FIG.

  First, the terminal device 12 accepts selection of the first command or the second command (step S200). The selection is performed, for example, according to the operation of the first command button 41 or the second command button 42 on the battle screen 37.

  Subsequently, the terminal device 12 transmits information indicating the selection received in step S200 to the server device 11 (step S201).

  Next, the server device 11 accepts selection of the first command or the second command based on the information transmitted by the terminal device 12 in step S201 (step S202).

  Subsequently, the server device 11 executes the selected first command or the selected second command (step S203). By executing the command, for example, the user's character executes an action corresponding to the command.

  Subsequently, the server device 11 advances the game based on the execution result of the command executed in step S203 (step S204). Specifically, when the user's character executes an action corresponding to the command, for example, the HP of other characters is increased or decreased, or the game progresses so that the other characters cannot compete.

  Subsequently, the server device 11 transmits an update instruction for the battle screen 37 to the terminal device 12 in accordance with the state of the game progressed in step S204 (step S205). The update instruction includes information necessary for causing the terminal device 12 to update the battle screen 37, such as a moving image indicating the action of the character and parameters in which the character has been increased or decreased.

  And the terminal device 12 updates the battle | competition screen 37 displayed on the display part 23 based on the update instruction | indication acquired from the server apparatus 11 (step S206).

  Thus, according to one embodiment, the server apparatus 11 determines a second command according to two or more first commands, and selects the selected first command or the selected second command. The game is advanced based on the execution result of. The user can newly create a second command by combining two or more first commands among a plurality of first commands stored in the server storage unit 14 in advance. Therefore, since the variation of the command for advancing a game increases, a user's interest with respect to a game improves. Moreover, the strategy nature regarding the combination of two or more 1st commands arises, and the interest property of a game improves.

  According to one embodiment, the execution result when executing two or more first commands is different from the execution result when executing the second command. For example, the increase / decrease amount of the parameter when executing the second command is larger or smaller than the increase / decrease amount of the parameter when executing the two or more set first commands. Alternatively, a parameter that varies when executing two or more set first commands and a parameter that varies when executing the second command are different. Therefore, the execution result of the second command is not necessarily predicted by the user based on a combination of two or more first commands. In this way, the game is more interesting by giving the user the motivation to try various combinations of the first commands to create an effective second command.

  According to an embodiment, the second command is determined based on the order in which each of the two or more first commands is set. In this way, by providing the user with the motivation to try different combinations by changing the order of two or more first commands in order to create an effective second command, Further improve.

  According to one embodiment, the second command is determined based on an attribute associated with each of the two or more first commands. For example, as the number of first commands having a common attribute among the two or more first commands increases, the amount of increase / decrease in the parameter that varies due to the execution of the second command varies. In addition, when all of the two or more first commands have a common attribute, the increase / decrease amount of the parameter that varies due to the execution of the second command further varies. In this way, in order to create an effective second command, the user may preferentially try a combination of two or more first commands having a common attribute, and usability is improved.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the drawings and examples, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and corrections based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these variations and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, the functions included in each means, each step, etc. can be rearranged so as not to be logically contradictory, and a plurality of means, steps, etc. can be combined into one or divided. .

  In addition, when the second command causes the action corresponding to two or more first commands to be executed, the server device 11 receives the selection of the second command during the battle in the second game mode. Only some of the actions corresponding to the first command or more may be executed by the character, and the game may be advanced based on the execution result. For example, when the second command causes the three actions of defense, recovery, and attack to be executed, each time the server apparatus 11 accepts the selection of the second command, the action of any one of defense, recovery, and attack Causes the character to execute. Thus, for example, even when the number of first commands that can be used for a battle in the second game mode is limited, the first command that can be used for a battle via the second command. The number of increases substantially.

  Further, when the second command causes the action corresponding to two or more first commands to be executed, the server device 11 satisfies a predetermined condition based on the progress of the battle in the second game mode. The character may execute all of the actions corresponding to the two or more first commands, and the game may be advanced based on the execution result. In addition, when the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the server device 11 causes the character to execute only an action corresponding to a part of the first commands among the two or more first commands, and based on the execution result The game may be progressed. For example, when the second command causes the defense, recovery, and attack to be executed, the server device 11 causes the user's character to execute a defensive action when receiving the selection of the second command. Thereafter, the server device 11 further causes the user's character to perform recovery and attack actions only when a character of another user who belongs to the same group as the user performs a predetermined action. In this way, for example, by setting conditions for the actions of the characters of a plurality of users to cooperate, the cooperation of the plurality of users is promoted, and the exchange between the users is promoted.

  Further, the first command that can be selected during the battle in the second game mode is set to 2 for determining the second command among the plurality of first commands stored in the server device 11. It may be a first command excluding two or more first commands. In other words, the first command set for use in the battle in the second game mode is controlled so that it cannot be selected as two or more first commands for determining the second command. In this way, the user needs to determine whether to use any first command in a battle in the second game mode or to determine the second command, and the game strategy Improves.

  Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, although the game which performs GvG battle | competition was demonstrated to the example, the content and genre of a game are not restricted to this. For example, any game such as a fighting game or a puzzle game in which the operation of the game medium is determined according to a command selected by the user can be employed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the number of two or more first commands for determining the second command, specifically, the number of the first commands that can be received by the first receiving unit 15 is set. Although the defined configuration has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the server device 11 stores a predetermined parameter, for example, a set point, as part of the user information 20. Further, the server device 11 stores a predetermined parameter, for example, a set cost, in association with the first command. And the 1st reception part 15 receives the setting of the said 2 or more 1st command, when the total value of the setting cost of the set 2 or more 1st command is below a user's setting point. . Here, the user's setting points may be determined based on the user information 20. For example, the user's set point changes depending on whether or not the user is a representative of the group.

  Further, the value of the set point and the set cost may be a value indicated by an in-game time (for example, seconds or the number of frames). For example, the user sets a set point as an upper limit, and considers a set cost corresponding to the first command (for example, a motion time from execution to completion of the action corresponding to the first command). Are combined with the first command. Specifically, a configuration that employs a fighting game will be described as an embodiment of the present invention. In such a case, the basic actions corresponding to the first command are, for example, punch and kick corresponding to the button operation, movement corresponding to the direction instruction operation, crouching action, jump, back step, and guard, and direction instruction operation and button operation. Special skills (lever insertion skills) and special moves, etc. corresponding to combinations with Before starting the match, the user can, for example, punch (0.8 seconds), punch (0.8 seconds) so that the total motion time of a plurality of basic actions falls within a set point (for example, 5 seconds). A plurality of first commands corresponding to kick (1.6 seconds), back step (1.1 seconds), and guard (0.6 seconds) are set. The first reception unit 15 receives the setting of the plurality of first commands because the total motion time (4.9 seconds) of the plurality of first commands is within the set point (5 seconds).

  In the above-described embodiment, the action cost is set for the first command and the second command. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, action time may be set instead of action cost. The action time is an in-game time (for example, seconds or the number of frames) required from the start of the action corresponding to the command to the completion thereof. Here, in the battle in the second game mode, for example, when the turn ends due to the elapse of a predetermined in-game time, the user can execute a plurality of actions only by selecting the second command once. It is possible to reduce the complexity of the operation and shorten the time required for the game operation. For this reason, a character can be made to act efficiently within one turn, and usability improves.

  In the above-described embodiment, part or all of the processing performed by the server device 11 may be a native game executed by a native application installed in the terminal device 12.

  In the above-described embodiment, a part of various game screens is a web display that is displayed on the terminal device 12 based on the data generated by the server device 11, and a part of the game screen (for example, a menu button is arranged). Header area and footer area) may be displayed natively by a native application installed in the terminal device 12. As described above, the game according to the above-described embodiment may be a hybrid game in which each of the server device 11 and the terminal device 12 takes part of the processing.

  Moreover, in order to function as the server apparatus 11 or the terminal apparatus 12 which concerns on embodiment mentioned above, information processing apparatuses, such as a computer or a mobile telephone, can be used suitably. Such an information processing device stores a program describing processing contents for realizing each function of the server device 11 or the terminal device 12 according to the embodiment in a storage unit of the information processing device, and the CPU of the information processing device performs the processing. This can be realized by reading and executing the program.
