(Embodiment)
[1. Schematic configuration of game system]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a game system according to an embodiment of the present invention. A game system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a game server 1 and a communication terminal 2. The game server 1 and the communication terminal 2 communicate via the network 3. In addition, although the example which contains only one communication terminal 2 is shown in FIG. 1, it is not restricted to this, A plurality of communication terminals are included and this game system is played by a plurality of users using the plurality of communication terminals Provide a game to play.

  As a general rule, the game server 1 according to the present embodiment is based on the total value of the attack power and defense power of a deck composed of a plurality of game media possessed by a user, and plays against a computer and between a plurality of users. A battle game in a format for competing for victory or defeat of the battle is provided to the communication terminal 2. The game medium is a generic term for electronic data used by the user for the progress of the game, and can be, for example, a card, character, weapon, armor, item, or the like in the game. The game media can be acquired by progressing or clearing an event in the game, playing against an enemy character, purchasing at an in-game shop, or the like. Moreover, it can acquire by the lottery (henceforth the said lottery is called gacha) for acquiring a game content. Gacha can be performed at least once a day, for example. A lottery that can be performed once a day is usually referred to as gacha. In addition, a lottery (gacha) can be performed by clearing an event in the game. In addition, a lottery can be performed by obtaining an item (gacha ticket) for gacha. The gacha ticket can be obtained by clearing an event in the game.

  In general, in this game, the user can invite the game to spread the game. Preferably, the game is a game that operates on the SNS. The user (inviting user) uses the communication terminal 2 to invite a user who is in a friend relationship on the SNS, a friend relationship in another game, or a user (friend user) who belongs to the same team using the invitation function provided in the game. Invite to. The friend user who has been invited to the game receives a notification of the invitation from the communication terminal 2, and logs into the game via the notification of the invitation. In this game system, the invited user is referred to as a “master”, and the invited user is referred to as a “disciple”, and stores a pair (master-disciple relationship) between the master and the disciple. In general, the game system is characterized in that communication between the teacher and the disciple is promoted through the provision (present) of game media from the master to the disciple. The invited user may not be limited to the invited user's friend user. In other words, the invited user may be a user other than a friend user, a user registered in the SNS, and invite users who have any relationship including message exchanges to the game.

[1.1. Game server configuration]
Hereinafter, each configuration of the game server 1 will be described. The game server 1 includes a communication unit 10, a storage unit 11, and a control unit 12. The communication unit 10 communicates with the communication terminal 2 via the network 3 by at least one of wireless or wired.

  The storage unit 11 stores various information related to the game. Specifically, the storage unit 11 stores game media data 111 and user data 112.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the game media data 111. The game media data 111 includes various information related to the game media. Specifically, the game media data 111 shown in FIG. 2 includes a game media identifier, a game media name, a game media image, an attack power, a defense power, and a rarity as various information related to the game media. The game media identifier is identification information for uniquely identifying a game media in the game. The game media name is a name given to the game media. The game media image is an image showing the game media, and is indicated by the name of the image in FIG. The attack power and the defense power are parameters indicating the strength of the game medium. The greater the attack power and defense power, the higher the strength of the game medium. Rareness is a numerical value that represents the scarce value of the game media. The higher the rarity value, the higher the rarity value. In this game, rarities of 3, 4, and 5 are also referred to as “R”, “SR”, and “SSR”, respectively.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the user data 112. The user data 112 includes various information related to each user who plays the game. Specifically, the user data 112 shown in FIG. 3 includes a user identifier, a level, a number of game media possessions, a number of game media possessions, a master skill point, a master level, a master identifier, and an apprentice identifier as various information related to the user. . The user identifier is identification information for uniquely identifying a user in this game. The level is a parameter that increases according to the progress of the game. For example, it is also expressed by an experience value or the like by the user defeating an enemy. The number of game media possessed is the total number of game media possessed by the user. The number of game media that can be held is the limit of the number of game media that the user can have.

  The master skill point is a point added according to the communication between the master and the disciple. The master level is a parameter that increases according to the master skill point. The teacher identifier is a user identifier of a user corresponding to the user's teacher. The disciple identifier is a user identifier of a user corresponding to the disciple of the user. A plurality of disciple identifiers are included according to the number of disciples. For example, the user with the user identifier UID001 has no teacher, and the disciples are two users, UID002 and UID003. The user with the user identifier UID002 is the user with the teacher UID001, and the disciple is the user with UID004. The user with the user identifier UID003 is a user whose teacher is UID001, and no apprentice exists. Thus, in this game system, the pair of the invited user (master) and the invited user (disciple) is stored by the master identifier and disciple identifier in the user data 112.

  The control unit 12 performs various controls related to the game server 1. Specifically, the control unit 12 receives a request for providing a predetermined number of first game media to the disciple (hereinafter referred to as a provision request) from the communication terminal 2 of the user who is a teacher. The predetermined number is an integer of 2 or more, for example, 3. The first game medium is a game medium having a predetermined rarity, for example, a game medium having a rarity of 3 (that is, the rarity is R). The first game media may be different game media as long as the rarity is the same. For example, the game media identifiers “ITM001”, “ITM010”, and “ITM012” in FIG.

  When receiving the provision request, the control unit 12 provides a predetermined number of first game media to the disciple. Furthermore, the control unit 12 provides the second game medium corresponding to the first game medium to the teacher who has transmitted the provision request. The second game medium corresponding to the first game medium is an item (hereinafter, also referred to as an R gacha ticket) for acquiring a game medium having the same rarity as the first game medium, for example, with gacha. Specifically, the control unit 12 updates the database related to the game media held by each user and adds the predetermined number of first game media to the game media held by the disciple. Further, the control unit 12 operates the database, deletes a predetermined number of first game media held by the teacher, and gives the second game media to the teacher. The database is stored in the storage unit 11.

  Furthermore, the control part 12 provides a teacher skill point to the teacher who transmitted the provision request. Specifically, the control unit 12 adds a predetermined value (for example, 1) to the teacher skill point of the user who transmitted the provision request in the user data 112.

[1.2. Configuration of communication terminal]
Returning to FIG. 1, the configuration of the communication terminal 2 will be described. The communication terminal 2 includes a communication unit 20, a display unit 21, an operation unit 22, and a control unit 23.

  The communication unit 20 communicates with the game server 1 via the network 3 by at least one of wireless or wired. Specifically, the communication unit 20 transmits a provision request to the game server 1 based on the operation of the operation unit 22 by the user. The communication unit 20 transmits a later-described ale transmission request, a battle request, and the like to the game server 1. Further, the communication unit 20 receives a display image or the like for the battle request.

  The display unit 21 includes a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, and the like, and performs display output related to a game provided by the game server 1. For example, the display unit 21 displays an animation image, battle result information, and the like.

  The operation unit 22 includes buttons, a touch panel, and the like, and receives an input signal from a user in the game. Then, the operation unit 22 sends an input signal received from the user to the control unit 23.

  The control unit 23 performs various controls related to the communication terminal 2. For example, the control unit 23 transmits a provision request or a battle request to the game server 1 via the communication unit 20 based on the operation of the operation unit 22 by the user.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a display screen related to a provision request and the like displayed by the display unit 21. When the user selects an apprentice list button or the like displayed on the home screen or the like, a display screen (apprentice list screen) shown in “apprentice list” is displayed. Here, a list of the user's disciples is displayed. When an area 211 indicating each apprentice on the apprentice list screen is selected, a transition is made to a display screen (disciple status screen) shown in “disciple status”.

  On the disciple status screen, an ale transmission button 212 for making an ale transmission request is displayed. Ale is a standard message that can be sent from a teacher to an apprentice. The ale can be transmitted a predetermined number of times a day. In the Yale transmission button of FIG. 4, “greeting” is displayed. When the yale transmission button is selected by the user, the communication terminal 2 transmits to the game server 1 an ale transmission request to a predetermined apprentice related to the apprentice status screen. When the game server 1 receives the ale transmission request, it notifies the predetermined disciple of ale. The disciple's communication terminal 2 displays the ale when logging in to the game. For example, the communication terminal 2 of the disciple is displayed as “I received an ale from Master X!”.

  Further, a transition button 213 to the present screen is displayed on the disciple status screen. When the transition button 213 is selected by the user, a display screen (present screen) shown in “Present screen” in FIG. 4 is displayed.

  A predetermined number of first game media to be presented are displayed on the present screen. The user can select the first game medium to be presented on the screen. When the present button 214 displayed on the present screen is selected by the user, the communication terminal 2 transmits a provision request to the game server 1. When the present button 214 is selected by the user and the first game medium is provided to the disciple, a display screen (post-present screen) shown in “After Present” shown in FIG. 4 is displayed.

  On the post-present screen, a reward provided from the game server 1 to the teacher, that is, information 215 relating to the second game medium, and information 216 relating to the teacher skill point are displayed. When the reward acquisition button 217 is selected by the user, the teacher can obtain these rewards.

  After obtaining the reward, when the display screen is changed to “Gacha”, a button 218 for performing a lottery using an R gacha ticket is displayed in addition to a lottery button 219 for performing an ordinary gacha. When the button 218 is selected by the user, a game medium having a R rarity selected by the game server 1 is provided to the user.

[2. Game system operation]
Next, the operation of the game server 1 of the game system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the control unit 12 of the game server 1 receives a provision request from the communication terminal 2 of the invited user who is a teacher (step S110). When receiving the provision request, the control unit 12 provides a predetermined number of first game media to the disciple, that is, the invited user (step S120). Furthermore, the control unit 12 provides the second game medium to the teacher who transmitted the provision request, that is, the invited user (step S130).

  As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, even after the invited user invites the invited user to the game, the invited user can provide the invited user through the provision of the game medium to the invited user in response to a provision request from the invited user. And the invited user can be promoted.

  Also, based on the provision request, the game server 1 provides the invited user with a predetermined number of first game media held by the invited user, that is, a predetermined number of predetermined rarity game media. Therefore, the invited user who has started playing the game can obtain a game medium of a predetermined rarity that is usually not easy to obtain. Thereby, the invited user can be urged to play the game, and the continuation rate of the game can be improved.

  Further, since the game server 1 provides a predetermined number of first game media to the invited user based on the provision request, the invited user does not have the predetermined number of first game media. As the reward, the game server 1 provides, for example, an R gacha ticket to the invited user as the second game medium. In this game, as shown in FIG. 3, since the number of game media that the user can hold is limited, the invited user can hold the game media by sending a request to provide game media that he / she does not want to hold. The number of game media can be effectively reduced. Further, by requesting the provision, the second game medium is acquired, and the possibility of newly obtaining a game medium that the user wants to hold with the same rarity as the provided first game medium is given. As a result, it is possible to urge the inviting user to make a game media provision request. In particular, when a heavy user is a game medium having a certain degree of rarity, there is a problem that the heavy user continues to hold and overlaps. Therefore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to efficiently reduce the number of game media that the player owns in response to a provision request to an invited user.

  In the present embodiment, the first game medium is a game medium having a predetermined rarity, but is not limited thereto. For example, the first game medium may be a game medium having a predetermined attribute. In this case, the second game medium is an item for acquiring a game medium having the same attribute as the first game medium.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the second game medium is an item for acquiring a game medium having the same rarity as the first game medium or the same attribute other than the rarity has been described. I can't. The second game medium may be a game medium having the same rarity as the first game medium or a game medium having the same attribute. In this case, the inviting user obtains a predetermined game medium without performing a lottery (gacha).

  In the above-described embodiment, the present screen shown in FIG. 4 is not limited to this. For example, game media that have reached the number that can be held may be preferentially displayed on the present screen. The possessable number is a limit that can be possessed in advance for each game medium, and the user cannot possess the game medium beyond the limit. In addition, on the present screen, the game medium recommended to be provided by the game server 1 may be displayed in a form selected in advance as a present candidate as a recommended item provision target (present target). Moreover, the number of 1st game media required for a provision request | requirement may be displayed on the present screen. In this case, the present button 214 cannot be selected unless the game media corresponding to the number of media are selected. In this case, the remaining number of required first game media may be displayed. Each time the user selects the first game medium, the remaining provision number may be changed and displayed.

(Modification)
[3. Operation of Modified Game System]
Next, a modification of the above embodiment will be described. The game system according to the modification generally provides a predetermined number of first game media to the invited user only when the control unit 12 of the game server 1 satisfies a predetermined condition, and provides the invited user with the first Provide two game media.

  The operation of the game server 1 of the game system according to the modification will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The same operations as those in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  After receiving the provision request from the communication terminal 2 (step S110), the control unit 12 of the game server 1 according to the modification determines whether or not the level of the invited user satisfies the condition (step S111). Specifically, the control unit 12 refers to the condition data. The condition data is preferably stored in the storage unit 11.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of condition data. In the condition data, the level range of the invited user is associated with the rarity of the first game content that can be provided in each level range. For example, when the level of the invited user is less than 20, the user can be provided only with the first game medium having a rarity of 3 (ie, the rarity is R) or less. On the other hand, when the level of the invited user is 20 levels or more and less than 50, the user can be provided with the first game medium having a rarity of 4 (that is, the rarity is SR) or less. Furthermore, when the level of the invited user is 50 or higher, the user can be provided with the first game medium having a rarity of 5 (ie, the rarity is SSR) or less.

  When the level of the invited user satisfies the condition in step S111, the control unit 12 determines whether or not the number of times the first game medium is provided is less than a predetermined number (for example, less than two times) (step S112). Specifically, the control unit 12 refers to the provision frequency data. Preferably, the provision frequency data is stored in the storage unit 11.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the provision count data. The provision frequency data includes a value obtained by counting the number of times the first game medium is provided to the invited user according to the provision request for each pair of the invited user and the invited user. The count is performed by the control unit 12. As shown in FIG. 8, the provision count data includes user identifiers (teacher identifiers and disciple identifiers) related to the invited user and the invited user, and the provision counts for the pair. For example, for the pair of invited user and invited user whose teacher identifier is “UID001” and disciple identifier is “UID002”, the number of times of provision is already two. Therefore, since the number of times of provision of the first game medium in these pairs is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, the first game medium is not provided to the invited user any more based on the provision request. On the other hand, with respect to a pair of invited user and invited user whose master identifier is “UID001” and disciple identifier is “UID003”, the number of times of provision is one. Therefore, since these pairs provide the first game medium less than a predetermined number of times, the first game medium is provided to the invited user based on the provision request. Similarly, with respect to a pair of invited user and invited user whose teacher identifier is “UID002” and disciple identifier is “UID004”, the number of times of provision is zero. Therefore, since these pairs provide the first game medium less than a predetermined number of times, the first game medium is provided to the invited user based on the provision request.

  After the determination in step S112, the control unit performs the operations in steps S120 and S130.

  Thus, according to the game system which concerns on a modification, the control part 12 provides the game medium which is too strong for an invited user by restrict | limiting the game medium which can be provided according to the level of an invited user. Can be prevented, and the game can be enjoyed step by step. In addition, by limiting the number of times the first game medium is provided, it is not specialized for the exchange of a single invited user and invited user pair, but encourages exchanges between many invited users and invited users. It is possible to increase the level of more invited users and further increase the game continuation rate.

  In the above-described modification, the present screen (FIG. 4) may be changed. That is, on the present screen according to the modification, all game media owned by the user (master) may be displayed, or may be displayed only on game media that can be provided according to the level of the disciple. Good. In this case, for example, when the level of the disciple is less than 20, only game media having a rarity of 3 or less are displayed on the present screen.

  In the modification described above, the control unit 12 performs the two determinations of step S111 and step S112, but is not limited thereto. The control unit 12 may perform only one of the determinations of step S111 and step S112 and provide the first game medium to the invited user when either of them is satisfied.

  In FIG. 8, the provision of the first game medium is limited by the total number of times the first game medium is provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The number of times of providing the first game medium may be limited. That is, for the first game media whose rarity is 3, 4, and 5, the number of times of provision may be less than two.

[4. Teacher level handling]
9 and 10, the teacher level in the game system will be described in detail. As described above, the teacher level increases according to the teacher skill points. When the control unit 12 of the game server 1 detects a predetermined process (hereinafter, referred to as a reward target process), it gives a teacher skill point to a user related to the teacher, that is, an invited user. The reward target processing is at least one of receiving a provision request by the game server 1, reaching a predetermined level (for example, 20 level) of the invited user, and sending an ale or email to the invited user by the invited user. Including one. Alternatively, the reward target process may include an invitation user inviting a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times), that is, inviting a predetermined number of (for example, 10) invited users.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation in which the game server 1 provides the teacher skill points to the user. First, the game server 1 detects whether or not a reward target process has been performed (step S21). When it is detected that the remuneration target process has been performed, the control unit 12 provides teacher skill points to the invited user (step S22). That is, a predetermined value (for example, 1) is added to the teacher skill point of the user data 112 in the storage unit 11.

  Subsequently, the control unit 12 increases the master level according to the master skill point (step S23). Specifically, if the initial value of the teacher level is level 1, and the teacher skill points of the user data 112 in the storage unit 11 reach 20, 30, 40, 50..., The teacher level is 2, 3, 4, respectively. , And so on.

  FIG. 10 shows the master skill data 113. The master skill data 113 indicates the master level, special effects that can be performed in the game at each master level, and improvement of various restriction parameters (referred to as master skill). The teacher skill data 113 is stored in the storage unit 11. For example, the user of the master level 1 can send up to 5 ale times per day, and the predetermined number of first game media necessary for the provision request is 4. On the other hand, the user of teacher level 2 increases the number of ales that can be sent per day up to seven times. Furthermore, the user of the teacher level 3 reduces the predetermined number of first game media necessary for the provision request to 3. That is, the game server 1 decreases the predetermined number according to the teacher level. In this way, according to a predetermined reward target process, the teacher level increases and the teacher skill increases, so that the user can be given an incentive to increase his / her teacher level and promote communication between the invited user and the invited user. be able to.

  Note that the level of the disciple may be up to a certain level (for example, 55 level), and if the level exceeds that level, the disciple may have graduated and the discipline relationship may be terminated. In other words, the control unit 12 of the game server 1 monitors the level of the disciple, and when it reaches a certain level or higher, it rewrites the master identifier of the user data 112 related to the disciple to a blank. When the disciple graduates, the control unit 12 may grant a teacher skill point having a predetermined value (for example, 10) to the teacher. Further, as the teacher level increases, the certain level at which the disciple graduates may be increased or decreased. In this way, when the disciple continues the game and the level increases, the teacher level of the teacher who is the invited user also increases, and new skills can be acquired. For this reason, it becomes possible to promote activation of communication such as providing game media from the invited user to the invited user and sending ale.

  Here, in order to function as a game system, a computer can be suitably used. Such a computer can store a program describing processing contents for realizing the functions of the game server 1 and the communication terminal 2 on the computer. It can be realized by storing the program in a storage unit and reading and executing the program by a central processing unit (CPU) of the computer.
