  In the game of the present embodiment, a new item (composite) obtained by evolving a base item by synthesizing a plurality of material items (example of necessary items) with a base item (example of necessary items) owned by the player. Item) can be synthesized. Since the types and number of the plurality of material items necessary for synthesizing the composite item (evolving the base item) are specified in advance, the player is not in a state where all the plurality of material items are arranged. Cannot be synthesized. It is troublesome and troublesome for the player to perform an operation input for confirming whether or not all the material items necessary for synthesizing the desired composite item have been prepared.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, a composite item that the player wants to synthesize (a base item that he wants to evolve) is registered in the server 20, and all the material items necessary to synthesize the registered composite item are given to the player. If it is determined that the registered composite item is ready to be combined, a mechanism is introduced to notify the player that the registered composite item is ready to be combined.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a selection screen for selecting a composite item (base item) to be registered in the server 20. The selection screen SS shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display unit 290 (touch panel) of the terminal 10, and the player can perform an operation input by performing an operation (touch operation) for bringing a fingertip, a touch pen, or the like into contact with the touch panel. .

  As shown in FIG. 4, a list of icon ICs representing base items owned by the player is displayed on the selection screen SS. The player can select the base item by performing an operation of touching the icon IC of the base item to be evolved from the plurality of icon ICs on the selection screen SS. Note that since there is a one-to-one correspondence between a base item and a synthetic item obtained by evolving the base item, selecting (registering) a base item is synonymous with selecting (registering) a synthetic item. Further, instead of displaying a list of base items and selecting a base item, a composite item corresponding to the base item may be displayed in a list and a composite item may be selected.

  In addition, in the selection screen SS shown in FIG. 4, the mark MK attached to the icon IC has already been registered in the server 20 with the base item (corresponding composite item) of the icon IC attached with the mark MK. Is shown. When an operation for selecting a base item is performed on the selection screen SS, a registration screen RS shown in FIG. 5 is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 5, the registration screen RS displays the selected base item BI, a composite item CI synthesized based on the base item BI, and a material item MI necessary for synthesizing the composite item CI. Is done. In addition, the number of items owned by each player is displayed in the material item MI. In addition, on the registration screen RS, a registration button RB for instructing registration of the composite item CI and a radio button RA for selecting a priority set for the composite item CI are displayed.

  When an operation of touching the registration button RB (an example of an operation input for selecting a composite item) is performed on the registration screen RS, information for specifying the composite item CI is sent to the server 20 together with information on the selected priority. The composite item CI is registered in the server 20.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of composite item registration information for managing composite items registered in the server 20. The composite item registration information is stored as player information 176 in the storage unit 174 of the server 20.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the composite item registration information 300 is for specifying composite item information 310 for specifying a registered composite item and a plurality of material items necessary for combining the registered composite item. Material item information 320, number information 330 indicating the number of players owned by each of the plurality of material items (the number of players that can be used and selected), and registered composite items Priority information 340 indicating the priority is stored. The composite item information 310 may further store information for specifying a base item corresponding to the registered composite item (the base item selected when registering the composite item).

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, if the material items “a1” and “a2” are given to the player, the registered composite item “A” can be combined, and the material items “b2” and “a2” can be combined. "Indicates that the registered composite item" B "can be combined.

  For example, if the material items “b2” and “a2” are given to the player in the state shown in FIG. 6, the composite item registration information 300 is as shown in FIG. At this time, the notification processing unit 122 of the server 20 determines that the composite item “B” is ready to be combined, and displays the notification screen IS illustrated in FIG. 8 on the display unit 290 of the terminal 10.

  As shown in FIG. 8, on the notification screen IS, a transition button for instructing the transition to the item composition screen for compositing the composite item CI, the notification content, and the composite item CI in a compositable state. CB (an example of transition instruction display) is displayed. When an operation of touching the transition button CB is performed on the notification screen IS, an item composition screen GS shown in FIG. 9 is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the item composition screen GS includes a base item BI, a material item MI, a composition item CI that can be composed, and a composition button GB for instructing composition of the composition item CI. Is displayed.

  When an operation of touching the composite button GB is performed on the item composite screen GS, information for instructing composite of the composite item CI is transmitted to the server 20, and the composite item that is ready to be composited in the server 20 is composited. The synthesized composite item (new item) is given to the player. Further, the base item and the plurality of material items used for combining the composite items are deleted from the items owned by the player. Also, registration information related to the synthesized composite item is deleted from the composite item registration information 300. Note that the player may be allowed to select whether or not to delete registration information related to the combined item. It is effective to leave registration information relating to a synthesized item to be synthesized when a plurality of base items corresponding to the synthesized item are owned and it is desired to evolve each item.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, if the player inputs an operation for registering the composite item desired to be combined in the server 20, all the material items necessary for combining the registered composite items are obtained. In such a case, a notification screen for informing that effect is displayed, and an item composition screen for compositing a composite item can be displayed simply by performing an operation input instructing screen transition on the notification screen. That is, the player can synthesize the registered composite items with a small number of operation inputs without having to display a list of items owned by the player and confirm whether or not the material items have been prepared. Can be reduced.

  Note that it is possible to determine whether or not material items have been prepared for all composite items corresponding to all base items owned by the player without registering the composite item. The processing load and the communication amount of the server 20 and the terminal 10 increase due to the increase of the target and the notification processing, and the notification to the player frequently causes the player to feel annoyed. Become. In the present embodiment, the notification process is performed only for the composite items registered by the player, thereby reducing the processing load and communication amount of the server 20 and the terminal 10 and reducing the troublesomeness caused by frequent notifications. be able to. From the above viewpoint, it is preferable to set an upper limit on the number of composite items registered per player.

  Also, according to the present embodiment, the transition instruction display for instructing the transition to the item composition screen is displayed on the notification screen, so that the screen can smoothly transition to the item composition screen when the player receives the notification. Can do. Displaying the transition instruction display in the notification screen is meaningful because the notification screen is a notification screen for a composite item registered at the player's intention, and for a composite item that the player does not want to combine. Since there is a high possibility that no transition instruction is given on the notification screen, there is no point in displaying the transition instruction display.

  As described above, a priority is set for the registered composite item. In this embodiment, among the composite items that can be combined, the composite item with the highest priority set (the composite item with the priority “high”) is automatically selected regardless of the operation input. Synthesize.

  For example, in the state shown in FIG. 6, if the material items “a1” and “a2” are given to the player, the composite item “A” set with the priority “high” can be composited. At this time, the server 20 automatically displays the composite item “A” without notifying the player that the composite item “A” is ready for composition (without displaying the notification screen on the terminal 10). The player is informed that the composite item “A” has been combined. If it does in this way, the effort required for the operation input for synthesize | combining the synthetic | combination item with high priority among the registered synthetic | combination items can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the player can sell items (base item, material item) owned by the player, and obtain in-game currency according to the value of the sold item. In this embodiment, when there is an operation input for instructing the sale of an item (an example in which an item becomes unusable due to a player's operation input), the item is used to synthesize a registered composite item. When the necessary item (material item, base item) matches, the player is notified whether or not the item is to be sold.

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 6, when the player inputs an operation to instruct the sale of the material item “a3”, the notification processing unit 122 of the server 20 displays the notification screen IS shown in FIG. It is displayed on the display unit 290. The notification screen IS shown in FIG. 10 cancels the sale, the notification content for alerting that the material item necessary for the synthesis of the registered composite item is about to be sold, the button B1 for instructing the sale, and the sale. Button B2 is displayed. In this way, it is possible to prevent the player from selling the necessary item without noticing that the item to be sold is a necessary item necessary for synthesizing the registered synthetic item.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the registered composite item is in a compositable state, when the composite item is composited, the other registered composite item cannot be composited. Notify the player.

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 11, both the composite item “A” and the composite item “B” can be combined, but there is only one material item “a2” necessary for combining each composite item. For this reason, if one synthesized item is synthesized, the other synthesized item is not ready for synthesis. In this case, the notification processing unit 122 of the server 20 displays the notification screen IS shown in FIG. 12 on the display unit 290 of the terminal 10. The notification screen IS shown in FIG. 12 includes a notification button that prompts the user to select a composite item to be combined among two composite items that can be combined, and a transition button CB ₁ for instructing a transition to the item combination screen. , CB ₂ is displayed. When an operation for selecting the transition button CB ₁ is performed, an item composition screen for compositing the composite item “A” is displayed. When an operation for selecting the transition button CB ₂ is performed, the composite item “B” is composed. An item composition screen is displayed. In this way, when the player synthesizes the registered composite item, it is possible to prevent the composite item from being composited without noticing that the other registered composite item is not ready for composition. it can. In such a case, a composite item for notifying that a composite state is possible may be determined according to the priority set for the registered composite item. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 11, the composite item “A” has a higher priority than the composite item “B”, so that only the composite item “A” can be composited is notified to the player. May be.

  Further, in this embodiment, when a material item (and a material item that is not owned by the player) necessary for synthesizing the registered composite item can be acquired, the material item can be acquired. The player is informed that the current state has been reached. For example, a notification screen (see notification screen IS shown in FIG. 13) for notifying a material item MI that can be acquired in the game among the material items necessary for combining the registered composite items at the start of the game is displayed on the terminal. You may display on ten display parts 290. In this way, the player's motivation for the game can be increased at the start of the game.

  In this embodiment, the player is notified of a game that can acquire a material item (and a material item that the player does not own) necessary for synthesizing the registered composite items among a plurality of games. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, in a dungeon selection screen DS that displays a list of a plurality of dungeons (an example of a plurality of games) that can be played by the player, it is necessary to synthesize a registered composite item among the plurality of dungeons. A material item MI that can be acquired in the dungeon may be displayed in association with a dungeon that can acquire a simple material item. If it does in this way, it can make it easy to select the game for acquiring the material item required for the synthesis | combination of the registered synthetic | combination item.

As an issue to be achieved by the player in the game, when a composite item is specified, if the composite item is not possessed, it is necessary to newly synthesize the necessary items. At this time, since many users can expect registration of the composite item, in order to prompt the player to register the composite item specified as the assignment, the assignment is displayed at the same time as displaying the assignment. An instruction display for transitioning to the screen for displaying is displayed. When the player's instruction is accepted, a transition is made to a screen for registering the composite item,
When a registration instruction is received on the screen for registering the composite item, the composite item is registered in the server 20.

  In the above description, as an example of the synthesis of the composite item, one item out of a plurality of necessary items is selected as a base item, and the base item and another necessary item are combined to create a new item different from the base item. Although the case of composing a simple item (composite item) has been described, an item in which the parameter of the base item is changed may be combined as a composite item. Further, a synthesized item may be synthesized by synthesizing only a plurality of material items that are necessary items without selecting a base item.

3. Process Next, an example of the process of the server 20 of this embodiment is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG.

  First, the registration processing unit 110 determines whether or not operation input information for instructing registration of a composite item has been received from the terminal 10 (step S10), and if received, is selected (Y in step S10). The composite item and its priority are registered in the composite item registration information 300 (step S12).

  Next, the item granting unit 112 determines whether or not to grant an item to the player based on information such as a game result received from the terminal 10 (step S14), and in the case of granting (Y in step S14). Performs the process of determining the item to be assigned and giving the determined item to the player (step S16). That is, the determined item is updated so that the player can use and select it. Here, when the item given to the player is a material item necessary for composition of the registered composite item, the number information 330 related to the material item in the composite item registration information 300 is updated.

  Next, the notification processing unit 122 refers to the composite item registration information 300 to determine whether or not all the material items necessary for compositing the registered composite items have been given to the player (Step S1). S18) If it is determined that it has been assigned (Y in step S18), it is determined whether or not the priority of the composite item is “high” (step S20). When the priority is not “high” (N in Step S20), the notification processing unit 122 performs a process of displaying on the terminal 10 a notification screen that notifies the player that the composite item is ready for composition. This is performed (step S22). When the priority of the composite item is “high” (Y in step S20), the process proceeds to step S30.

  Next, the notification processing unit 122 determines whether or not the operation input information instructing the transition from the terminal 10 to the item composition screen has been received (step S24), and if received (Y in step S24). Then, a process for displaying the item composition screen on the terminal 10 is performed (step S26).

  Next, the item compositing unit 114 determines whether or not an operation input for instructing compositing of the composite item has been received from the terminal 10 (step S28), and if it has been received (Y in step S28), the composite item A necessary item (one base item and a plurality of material items) corresponding to is synthesized to synthesize the synthesized item, and a process of giving the synthesized synthesized item to the player is performed (step S30). That is, the synthesized composite item is updated so that the player can use and select it. Further, the base item and the material item used for the synthesis of the composite item are updated to a state in which the player cannot use / select.

Next, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not to continue the process (step S32). When the process is continued, the process proceeds to step S10 and repeats the processes after step S10.
