<Outline of the game>
Here, an outline of the game in the present embodiment will be described. The game in this embodiment includes a battle game and a composite game.

  The battle game according to the present embodiment is a game in which an enemy character appears in a party composed of a plurality of characters, and an enemy character that appears and the characters that make up the party battle each other.

  In this battle game, a plurality of quests aimed at defeating enemy characters are set according to the difficulty level. The user can form a party using his / her own character and select one of the quests to challenge the enemy character. During the match, the user may be given a character that can be acquired in the selected quest. The user can also play a synthetic game using the acquired character.

  The synthetic game in the present embodiment consumes a material character required for level-up among characters possessed by the user (by making the material character required for level-up a character that the user does not possess) ), This is a game that improves the base character specified by the user.

  In this synthetic game, material characters required for level-up of each level up to the upper limit level are associated in advance for each base character. Therefore, in order to raise the base character to the upper limit level by synthesis, all the material characters necessary for level up to the upper limit level must be obtained.

  However, since it is not easy to obtain all the material characters, it is not easy to raise the base character to the upper limit level. Therefore, the user needs to raise the base character up to the maximum level from the current possession status of the material character up to the maximum level, and to increase the level of each level up to that maximum level You may want to check how much you should possess all the material characters that will be held together.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, when the user designates each level up to the upper limit level one by one, all the material characters required to level up to the maximum level are displayed together with the maximum level of the base character. It can be confirmed above.

  5 to 7 are image diagrams showing examples of the synthetic game screen. In this synthetic game screen 500, a material character display area 501, a base character display area 502, a specified level display area 503, a selection button 504 for raising the level, a selection button 505 for lowering the level, and an operation for performing composition A button 506 is displayed.

  In the base character display area 502, the base character designated by the user is displayed. In the designated level display area 503, the level of the base character designated by the user is displayed. The level displayed in the designated level display area 503 increases by one each time the user operates the selection button 504 and decreases one by one each time the selection button 505 is operated. In the material character display area 501, material characters necessary for the base character to level up to the level designated by the user are displayed, and the necessary number and possession number of the material characters are also displayed.

  Here, if the user designates “character S” of “level 1” as a base character, first, a composite game screen 500 for leveling up to “level 2” shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. In FIG. 5, in order to raise the base character “Character S” from “Level 1” to “Level 2”, “Character A” as the material character is required, and “Character A” is required. It is shown that the user possesses “6”. That is, since the number of material characters is sufficient, it can be confirmed that by pressing the operation button 506, the “character S” can be raised to “level 2” by combining the base characters.

  Next, when the user continuously presses the selection button 504, a composite game screen 500 for leveling up to “level 8” shown in FIG. 6 is displayed. In FIG. 6, in order to raise the base character “Character S” to “Level 8”, “7 characters” of the material character “N” are required, and the “Character A” is displayed by the user as “ It is shown that they have “six”. That is, since the number of material characters is insufficient, the operation button 506 cannot be pressed, and it can be confirmed that “character S” cannot be raised to “level 8”.

  Next, when the user presses the selection button 505 once to lower the level by one, the user returns from the synthetic game screen 500 of “level 8” to level up to “level 7” shown in FIG. The synthesized game screen 500 is displayed. In FIG. 7, in order to raise the base character “Character S” to “Level 7”, “6 characters” of the material character “Character A” are required. It is shown that they have “six”. That is, since the number of material characters is sufficient, it can be confirmed that the “character S” can be raised to “level 7” by combining the base characters by pressing the operation button 506.

  By checking each level up to the upper limit level one by one in this way, it can be understood that the “character S” as the base character can be leveled up to “level 7” at the maximum.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the user designates a base character, the material character required to level up to the maximum level as well as the maximum level of the base character can be confirmed on the screen. It can be done. As a result, it is possible to check the levels up to the upper limit level with a simple operation without having to specify each level one by one. Hereinafter, a method for confirming the maximum level by this simple operation will be specifically described.

<Operation>
<< Display the highest level of the synthetic game screen first >>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example of the information processing system 1 in the present embodiment.

  When the menu screen is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10, the user performs an operation on the client terminal 10 to start the synthetic game. When the user performs this operation, the operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives the operation content based on the user's game operation. The request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 makes a request to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

  The synthetic game execution unit 202 of the server device 20 receives an operation content for starting the synthetic game from the client terminal 10, and causes the display control unit 207 to execute screen display control so that a character selection screen is displayed on the client terminal 10. A request is made (step S11).

  Specifically, when the display control unit 207 of the server device 20 is requested to execute the screen display control from the synthetic game execution unit 202, the display control unit 207 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222, and Control is performed to display a character selection screen displaying a list of possessed characters on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10.

  FIG. 9 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of user information. This user information includes user ID, name, rank, possessed character, possessed point, party, registered character, and the like as items. The user ID is information for uniquely identifying the user. The name is information indicating a user name. The rank is information indicating the user's game level. The possessed character is information indicating one or more various characters possessed by the user. Here, as shown in parentheses in the figure, the number and level of possessed characters are also set. The possession point is information indicating the amount of game points possessed by the user. The party is information indicating each character constituting the user's party. The registered character is information indicating the possessed character protected by the user performing an operation of registering in advance among the possessed characters of the user. In the present embodiment, the registered character is protected by being excluded from the selection target of the user.

  Next, when the character selection screen is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10, the user performs an operation for designating one of the base characters on the client terminal 10. When the user performs an operation to designate any base character, the operation accepting unit 150 of the client terminal 10 accepts the operation content based on the user's base character designation (step S12).

  Then, the request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 makes a request to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user. When the synthetic game execution unit 202 of the server device 20 receives the operation content from the client terminal 10, the synthetic game execution unit 202 requests the maximum level determination unit 204 to execute the maximum level determination process related to the base character designated by the user.

  Next, the maximum level determination unit 204 of the server device 20 receives the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221 and the user information storage unit 222 when the composite game execution unit 202 requests execution of the maximum level determination process. The base character specified by the user is compared for each level by comparing the material character required for level-up of the base character specified by the user and the material character possessed by the user by referring to the user information stored by The maximum level that can be increased is determined up to the upper limit level (step S13).

  FIG. 10 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of character information. This character information includes, as items, a character ID, a name, a rarity, an ability parameter, a game item, a material character necessary for composition, and the like. The character ID is information for uniquely identifying various characters including a base character and a material character. The name is information indicating a character name. The rarity is information indicating the rare value of the character. Here, one of a plurality of levels (for example, 5 levels) of rarity is set. The ability parameter is information indicating the ability of the character. Here, ability values such as attack, defense, and HP are set. The game item is information indicating the type of game in which the character can be acquired. The material character required at the time of composition is information indicating a material character previously associated with the base character. Here, material characters required for each level are set. Therefore, for example, in order to raise the base character “Character S” from “Level 1” to “Level 2”, “Character A” as the material character is required, and “Level 7” is required. In order to level up, “6 characters” of the material character are required, and in order to level up to “level 8,” “character A” of the material character is “7” It is shown that it is necessary.

  Specifically, it is assumed that the user designates “character S” of “level 1” as a base character, similarly to the case described with reference to the synthetic game screen 500 shown in FIGS. In this case, the maximum level determination unit 204 needs “six characters A” as material characters to increase the level of “character S” as the base character from “level 1” to “level 7”. Since the user possesses “6 characters” as the material characters, the maximum level of “character S” as the base character is determined to be “level 7”.

  Next, when the maximum level of the base character is determined in this way, the synthesis game execution unit 202 of the server device 20 requests the notification unit 205 to execute notification processing related to character synthesis (step S14).

  Specifically, when the notification unit 205 of the server device 20 is requested by the synthesis game execution unit 202 to execute a notification process related to character synthesis, the notification unit 205 refers to the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221 and determines the maximum level. All material characters required for level up to the maximum level determined by the determination unit 204 are acquired.

  Next, the notification unit 205 of the server device 20 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and acquires the possession number of the material characters required for the level up to the maximum level.

  When the notification unit 205 of the server device 20 acquires various types of information in this way, the maximum level determination unit 204 determines the maximum level of the base character, and is necessary for level up to the maximum level. Notify the user of all the material characters that are considered.

  In the present embodiment, notification is performed by a synthetic game screen as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the display control unit 207 is requested by the notification unit 205 to execute screen display control, the display control unit 207 performs control to display the composite game screen on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10.

  FIG. 11 is an image diagram illustrating another example of the synthetic game screen. In the synthetic game screen 600, a material character display area 601, a base character display area 602, a designated level display area 603, a selection button 604 for raising a level, a selection button 605 for lowering a level, and an operation for performing composition A button 606 and an operation button 607 for returning to the menu screen are displayed.

  In the base character display area 602, the base character designated by the user in the process of step S12 described above is displayed. Here, “character S” of “level 1” is designated and displayed as a base character by the user.

  In the designated level display area 503, the maximum level of the base character determined by the maximum level determination unit 204 in the process of step S13 described above is displayed. Here, the maximum level of the “character S” as the base character is determined and displayed as “level 7”.

  In the material character display area 601, material characters necessary for the base character designated by the user to be raised to the maximum level based on the processing in step S <b> 14 described above are displayed, and the necessary number of material characters is displayed. The number of possessions is also displayed. Here, in order for “Character S” as the base character to level up to “Level 7”, which is the maximum level, “Character A” as the material character is required to be “6”. It is displayed that “6” are owned by “A”.

  In addition, in the synthetic game screen 600 shown in FIG. 11, the selection button 604 for raising the level one by one has a different display form from the selection button 504 in the synthetic game screen 500 shown in FIG. This is to inform the user that the base character cannot be raised to level 8 or higher due to a lack of material characters. That is, the notification unit 205 notifies the user that the level cannot be increased beyond the maximum level determined by the maximum level determination unit 204 on the screen.

  Then, a user who desires to synthesize a base character performs an operation for selecting the operation button 606 on the client terminal 10 when the synthesized game screen 600 is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. On the other hand, a user who does not wish to synthesize a base character performs an operation for selecting the operation button 607 on the client terminal 10 when the synthesized game screen 600 is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. .

  The operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives an operation for combining or an operation for canceling the combining from the user. The request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 makes a request to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

  Returning to FIG. 8, the composition game execution unit 202 of the server device 20 accepts the operation content from the client terminal 10 and determines whether or not an operation for synthesizing the base character is accepted (step S <b> 15).

  As a result of this determination, when an operation for matching the synthesis of the base characters is accepted, the process returns to the menu screen and the process is terminated. On the other hand, if an operation for synthesizing the base character is accepted, the process proceeds to the next step S16.

  Next, when the synthetic game executing unit 202 of the server device 20 receives an operation for synthesizing the base character, the synthetic game executing unit 202 performs a synthesizing process for raising the base character to the maximum level (step S16).

  Specifically, the synthetic game execution unit 202 of the server device 20 sets all the material characters required for leveling up to the maximum level determined by the maximum level determination unit 204 as base characters specified by the user. By combining, the base character is raised to the maximum level determined by the maximum level determination unit 204. At this time, the synthetic game execution unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 so that the user possesses all the material characters necessary for level up to the maximum level. A non-owned character that is not to be held and the level of the base character are set to the maximum level determined by the maximum level determination unit 204.

  In this way, the user simply designates one of the base characters of his / her own character, and the composite game screen 600 shown in FIG. 11 is initially displayed. All the material characters required to level up to the maximum level will be notified on the screen. As a result, as described in the synthetic game screen 500 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, it is not necessary to specify each level up to the upper limit level one by one in order and confirm the maximum level. become able to.

《Display duplicate material characters》
In the present embodiment, the material character displayed in the material character display area 601 on the synthetic game screen 600 described above is also required for leveling up other possessed characters other than the base character displayed in the base character display area 602. It is also possible to easily grasp whether or not it is a material character.

  When the notification unit 205 of the server device 20 acquires all the material characters required for leveling up to the maximum level determined by the maximum level determination unit 204 in the process of step S14 described above, Referring to the character information stored in the information storage unit 221 and the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222, all the acquired material characters have other possessions other than the base character designated by the user. Extract material characters that are also needed to improve the level of characters (other base characters).

  When the notification unit 205 of the server device 20 can extract other base characters in this way, the material character required for leveling up to the maximum level determined by the maximum level determination unit 204 is obtained. It notifies the user that there is material content that is also required to level up other base characters other than the base character specified by the user.

  In the present embodiment, notification is performed by a synthetic game screen as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the display control unit 207 is requested by the notification unit 205 to execute screen display control, the display control unit 207 performs control to display the composite game screen on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10.

  FIG. 12 is an image diagram illustrating another example of the synthetic game screen. In the synthetic game screen 600, a material character display area 601, a base character display area 602, a designated level display area 603, a selection button 604 for raising a level, a selection button 605 for lowering a level, and an operation for performing composition A button 606, an operation button 607 for returning to the menu screen, and a duplication mark 608 are displayed.

  The synthetic game screen 600 shown in FIG. 12 is different from the synthetic game screen 600 shown in FIG. 11 except for the material characters displayed in the material character display area 601 other than the base characters displayed in the base character display area 602. A material character that is also required for leveling up the base character is given a duplication mark 608.

  The user who wants to know the details of the material character with the duplicate mark 608 performs an operation of selecting the duplicate mark 608 when the composite game screen 600 is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. This is performed for the terminal 10. The operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives an operation for selecting the duplication mark 608 from the user. The request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 makes a request to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

  Next, when an operation for selecting the duplicate mark 608 is performed by the user, the notification unit 205 of the server device 20 performs a notification regarding a material character required for leveling up other base characters together with other base characters. .

  In the present embodiment, notification is performed through a character detail screen as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the display control unit 207 is requested by the notification unit 205 to execute screen display control, the display control unit 207 performs control to display the character detail screen on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10.

  FIG. 13 is an image diagram illustrating an example of a character detail screen. On this character detail screen 700, a base character display area 701 and a material character display area 702 are displayed. In the base character display area 701, other base characters possessed by the user are displayed. Here, “character U” of “level 12” is displayed as another base character. In the material character display area 702, a material character with a duplication mark 608 designated by the user is displayed. Here, “Character B”, which is a material character required for leveling up “Character U” of “Level 12”, which is another base character, is displayed. In addition, the required number of material characters required to level up to the upper limit level is also displayed. For example, a material character is not required to level up another character “Character U” from “Level 12” to “Level 13” or “Level 14”, and from “Level 15” to “Level 17”. It can be confirmed that “one character”, which is a material character, is necessary for leveling up to “1”.

  In this way, the user can easily confirm that the content is a material content that is also required for level-up of other base characters possessed by seeing the material character with the duplicate mark 608 attached. Further, the user can easily confirm the material character required for leveling up the other base character together with the other base character by designating the material character with the duplication mark 608 added.

《Display the maximum level synthetic game screen when acquiring material characters》
In the present embodiment, the same as the material character displayed in the material character display area 601 in a situation where the base character displayed in the base character display area 602 has not yet reached the upper limit level in the synthetic game screen 600 described above. When a character is acquired by a quest, it is possible to easily grasp to which level the base character displayed in the base character display area 602 can be raised at the maximum.

  When the user performs an operation to specify the material character displayed in the material character display area 601, the notification unit 205 of the server device 20 refers to the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221 and specifies the specified character. “Quest” that can acquire a material character is notified as a game item. At this time, the base character displayed in the base character display area 602 is stored in association with the material character specified in the material character display area 601.

  Next, when the user clears the notified “quest”, the battle game executing unit 201 of the server device 20 causes the user to acquire the character assigned by the assigning unit 203 of the server device 20. At this time, by updating the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222, the assigned character is set as the possessed character of the user. The granting unit 203 can grant a character set to be acquirable by the quest based on the quest information stored in the quest information storage unit 223.

  FIG. 14 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of quest information. This quest information includes a quest ID, a name, a consumption point, an acquirable character, an enemy character, and the like as items. The quest ID is information for uniquely identifying the quest. The name is information indicating a quest name. A consumption point is information which shows the quantity of the point consumed when playing the quest. The acquirable character is information indicating various characters that can be acquired based on a predetermined probability when the quest is cleared. The enemy character is information indicating various characters that appear in the quest. Here, an enemy character set as a main boss character and an enemy character set as a sub character other than the boss are included.

  Next, the battle game executing unit 201 of the server device 20 responds to the notification unit 205 of the server device 20 when the character assigned by the assigning unit 203 matches the material character specified by the user in the material character display area 601. Request the notification process when the character is acquired.

  When the notification unit 205 of the server device 20 is requested by the competitive game execution unit 201 to execute the notification process at the time of character acquisition, the notification unit 205 acquires the material character designated by the user in the material character display area 601 and It is notified that the acquired material character can be combined with the base character displayed in the base character display area 602.

  In the present embodiment, notification is performed by a character acquisition screen as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the display control unit 207 is requested by the notification unit 205 to execute screen display control, the display control unit 207 performs control to display the character acquisition screen on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10.

  FIG. 15 is an image diagram showing an example of a character acquisition screen. On this character acquisition screen 750, an acquired character display area 751 and an operation button 752 are displayed. In the acquired character display area 751, the material character “Character A” displayed in the material character display area 601 is acquired and combined with the base character “Character S” displayed in the base character display area 602. You can see what you can do.

  Then, the user who wants to confirm the character composition performs an operation for selecting the operation button 752 on the client terminal 10 when the character acquisition screen 750 is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. The operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives an operation for confirming character composition from the user. The request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 makes a request to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

  Next, when the user confirms the character composition, the maximum level determination unit 204 of the server device 20 updates the user information updated when the user newly possesses the material character assigned to the assigning unit 203. Referring to the character information, the base character display is made by comparing the material character required for leveling up the base character displayed in the base character display area 602 with the material character possessed by the user for each level. The maximum level at which the base character displayed in the area 602 can be leveled up is determined again up to the upper limit level.

  Next, the notifying unit 205 of the server device 20 is a material required for level-up of each level up to the maximum level determined again by the maximum level determining unit 204 determining the maximum level of the base character again. Notify the user of all the characters together.

  In the present embodiment, notification is performed in the same manner as in the synthetic game screen as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the display control unit 207 is requested by the notification unit 205 to execute screen display control, the display control unit 207 performs control to display the composite game screen on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10.

  In this way, when the base character displayed in the base character display area 602 has not yet reached the upper limit level, if the same character as the material character displayed in the material character display area 601 is acquired in the quest, the base character It is possible to confirm again to what level the base character displayed in the display area 602 can be raised at the maximum.

[Other Embodiments]
The above-described embodiments are for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be changed and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and the present invention includes equivalents thereof. In particular, the embodiments described below are also included in the present invention.

<Notification of duplicate material characters>
In the above-described embodiment, the material character displayed in the material character display area 601 is also required for leveling up other possessed characters (other base characters) other than the base character displayed in the base character display area 602. Although the case where it is possible to easily grasp whether or not the character is a material character has been described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, it is possible to easily grasp whether or not it is a material character that is required for leveling up other registered characters, not other possessed characters. The other registered characters may be possessed characters registered as favorites or possessed characters registered as parties as characters constituting a party. That is, the notification unit 205 is required for level-up of other base characters and the other base characters only when other base characters are registered by user operation (favorite registration, party registration, etc.). It is also possible to make a notification about the material character. In this case, on the synthetic game screen 600 shown in FIG. 12, the duplication mark 608 is added only to other base characters registered in the user information.
Also, for example, if the content is an item, it can be easily grasped whether it is a material item that is necessary for other registered items registered as character equipment, not other possessed items. It is also possible to do so.

<Notification at the time of character acquisition>
In the above-described embodiment, if the same character as the material character displayed in the material character display area 601 can be acquired in the quest, to what level the base character displayed in the base character display area 602 can be raised to a maximum level. However, the present invention is not limited to this example.

  For example, it is possible to easily grasp whether or not a registered character set in the user information can be leveled up when a certain material character is acquired in the quest. That is, the notification unit 205 refers to the character information and the user information, and the user can newly upgrade the registered character registered by the user's operation when the user newly possesses the material character assigned to the assigning unit 203. It is also possible to notify.

<Composition of synthetic game screen>
In the above-described embodiment, in addition to the selection buttons 504 and 505 for selecting levels one by one on the synthetic game screen 500, it is possible to provide an operation button dedicated to “maximum level”. That is, when the user selects the selection buttons 504 and 505 (when an operation for selecting the level of the base character one by one is performed in order), the notification unit is necessary for level-up of each level. Notify the material characters to be played in order. On the other hand, when the user selects an operation button dedicated to “maximum level” (when an operation for determining the maximum level of the base character is performed), the maximum level determination unit 204 determines it. It is also possible to notify the material character required to level up to the maximum level.

<Level up>
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the base character is leveled up by synthesis has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, the base character may be changed (evolved) into a new character in multiple stages by synthesis. In this case, the user can collectively change (evolve) the base characters according to the material characters possessed. This change (evolution) of the character allows the user to advantageously advance the game.
Specifically, a material character required for evolution is set for each evolution stage in the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221. The maximum stage determination unit (not shown) is designated by the user by referring to the character information and user information when one of the characters held by the user is specified by the user's operation. The material character required for the evolution of the base character is compared with the material character possessed by the user at each evolution stage, and the maximum stage at which the base character specified by the user can evolve is determined up to the upper limit stage To do. The notification unit 205 notifies the user of all the material characters required for the evolution of each stage up to the maximum stage when the maximum stage of the base character is determined by the maximum stage determination unit. Then, the synthetic game execution unit 202 makes all of the material characters required for the evolution of each stage up to the maximum stage determined by the maximum stage determination unit as a character that the user does not possess by the operation of the user who has received the notification. At the same time, a synthetic game is executed in which the base characters designated by the user are collectively evolved to the maximum stage.
