  For example, when an input operation is performed on the input unit 151, the input operation reception unit 112 detects the coordinates of the input position and the type of operation. For example, the input operation reception unit 112 detects a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, a tap operation, and the like. Further, the input operation reception unit 112 detects that the contact input is canceled from the touch screen 15 when the input that has been continuously detected is interrupted.

  The game progress processing unit 111 performs various processes related to the progress of the game. For example, the game progress processing unit 111 interprets the user instruction content indicated by the input position coordinates of the input operation received by the input operation receiving unit 112 and the type of operation. In addition, for example, the game progress processing unit 111 adds, updates, or deletes the game information 122 or the user information 123. For example, the game progress processing unit 111 performs various determination processes related to the progress of the game.

  The camera arrangement control unit 113 defines a virtual camera for designating an area to be presented to the user in the game space. The camera placement control unit 113 virtually places the virtual camera in the game space by defining the position and orientation of the virtual camera in the game space. Furthermore, the camera arrangement control unit 113 instructs the display control unit 114 to create an image in which a field of view defined by the virtual camera and an object arranged in the field of view are drawn.

  The camera arrangement control unit 113 may appropriately define the position and orientation of the virtual camera for each game space. For example, on the basis of the position and orientation of the specific object, the camera arrangement control unit 113 sets the virtual camera at a certain direction, distance, and angle from the object so that the object is reflected in the center of the field of view in the specific direction. You may arrange. The specific object may be, for example, a character object that can be operated on the user terminal 100, a dynamic object indicating another character such as an NPC, or a building, a tree, a stone, or the like. It may be a static object. In the following description, “operable character” is simply referred to as “operation character”.

  The display control unit 114 causes the display unit 152 to display an image. For example, the display control unit 114 generates an image in which a field of view of the virtual camera defined by the camera placement control unit 113 in the game space and an object existing in the region are drawn and displayed on the display unit 152. . Further, the display control unit 114 may draw such an image by superimposing objects related to UI (user interface) necessary for various operations of the game, such as icons, buttons, menus indicating various parameters, and the like. .

  The object control unit 115 places the object in the game space based on the object setting information included in the game information 122. In addition, the object control unit 115 controls objects placed in the game space.

That is, the computer that executes the game programs 121 and 221 in the present embodiment may be any of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and other devices.

(Game progress and game space transition)
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the progress of the game provided by the game system 1 and an example of transition of the game space. In this embodiment, each user terminal 100 cooperates with the server 200 to perform game processing in the multiplayer mode. Therefore, in the game space defined by the control unit 110 of a certain user terminal 100, the operation characters of the user of the user terminal 100 and the operation characters of other users participating in the multiplayer are arranged.

  The control unit 110 defines any one of the preparation space, the battle space, and the boss battle space according to the progress of the game. The object control unit 115 also arranges various objects including operation characters in the game space defined by the control unit 110. When an input operation is performed by the user, the object control unit 115 moves the operation character as needed in accordance with the input operation. Thereby, the control part 110 can make a user search the game space via an operation character.

  The preparation space is a game space for allowing the user to make preparations before starting a quest. The control unit 110 may cause the user to receive a reward for achieving the quest in the preparation space. The control unit 110 can transition the game space from the preparation space to the battle space or the boss battle space. For example, when the input operation receiving unit 112 receives a quest start instruction, the control unit 110 may change the game space from the preparation space to the battle space or the boss battle space according to the quest instructed to start. Good. Further, for example, when the input operation receiving unit 112 receives a predetermined input operation such as a map moving operation, the control unit 110 may transition the game space from the preparation space to the battle space without starting the quest.

  The battle space is a game space for the battle between the operation character and the enemy character. The battle will be described in detail later. The synchronization processing unit 214 of the server 200 determines whether or not a predetermined condition for transitioning the game space from the battle space to the boss battle space is satisfied in the battle space. For example, the server processing unit 212 may determine whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied in the battle space from information related to synchronization from the user terminal 100. The information related to synchronization here refers to an identifier that uniquely indicates the battle space in which the operation character is arranged, the position of the operation character in the battle space, and the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 makes the game space transition to the battle space. It is the elapsed time since then.

  Note that the game progress processing unit 111 of the user terminal 100 may determine whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied in the battle space. In this case, the control unit 110 transmits information indicating the determination result to the server 200.

  When the server 200 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied by the synchronization processing unit 214 or by receiving information from the user terminal 100, the server 200 transfers the game space from the battle space to the boss battle space to the user terminal 100 that satisfies the condition. To transition to. Upon receiving this instruction, the control unit 110 of each user terminal 100 changes the game space from the battle space to the boss battle space.

  Note that when the server 200 transmits an instruction to transition the game space to the boss battle space to each user terminal 100, the user terminals 100 are grouped under a predetermined condition, and the operation characters of the user terminals 100 in the same group are the same. Send instructions to transition to the boss battle space. For example, the synchronization processing unit 214 of the server 200 transmits an instruction to the user terminal 100 of each operation character so that four operation characters perform multiplay in one boss battle space in order from the operation character with the highest level.

  The boss battle space is a kind of battle space, and is a game space for a battle between a plurality of operation characters grouped by the server 200 based on a predetermined condition and a boss character that is a specific enemy character.

  The object control unit 115 places an operation character and at least one boss character in the boss battle space. In the boss battle space, the grouped operation characters become friends and fight against the boss characters. Hereinafter, the operation characters arranged in the same boss battle space are collectively referred to as “friend characters”.

  Note that the synchronization processing unit 214 of the server 200 may limit the maximum number of user terminals 100 to be transferred to the same boss battle space, that is, the maximum number of teammate characters in the boss battle space. Information indicating the maximum number is included in at least one of the game information 122 and 222. Then, the object control unit 115 arranges operation characters in the boss battle space according to the maximum number of teammate characters. In addition, when the number of ally characters is less than the maximum number when the object control unit 115 transitions to the boss battle space, the object control unit 115 may arrange NPC objects as many as the number that is insufficient for the maximum number.

  In the present embodiment, the object control unit 115 arranges up to four teammate characters in the boss battle space. Further, in the present embodiment, the object control unit 115 arranges NPC objects so that there are a total of four teammate characters when there are less than four operation characters when transitioning to the boss battle space.

  The boss battle space may be the same game space as the battle space. That is, the object control unit 115 may arrange a boss character in the battle space. At this time, the camera placement control unit 113 may switch the virtual camera to the same placement as the boss battle space.

  When the game progress processing unit 111 determines that the ally character has succeeded in subjugating the boss character, the control unit 110 transitions the game space from the boss battle space to the battle space or the preparation space. Note that the control unit 110 may transition the game space to the battle space or the preparation space after a predetermined time has elapsed since the game progress processing unit 111 determines that the boss character has been successfully subjugated. The control unit 110 may transition the game space from the boss battle space to the preparation space or the battle space when a predetermined movement operation such as a map movement is received while the game is progressing in the boss battle space. .

(Battle between operation character and enemy character)
The battle in the battle space and the boss battle space will be described in detail. In the “battle” in the game according to the present embodiment, the operation characters and enemy characters of the user and other users perform an attacking action with each other. Since various processes and displays related to the battle are common to the battle with the enemy character in the battle space and the battle with the boss character in the boss battle space, the battle with the enemy character will be described below.

  Various values (for example, attack power, defense power, etc.) including at least a physical strength value are set for the operation character and the enemy character. The operation character parameter setting values are included in the user information 123, and the enemy character parameter setting values are included in the game information 122.

  In the battle space, the object control unit 115 causes the operation character object to perform an attacking action in accordance with the input operation received by the input operation receiving unit 112. Then, the game progress processing unit 111 determines whether the attack of the operation character hits any enemy character, that is, whether the attack is successful. Further, when the game progress processing unit 111 determines that the attack of the operation character is successful, the game progress processing unit 111 calculates a damage value to be given to the enemy character that is the attack target. Furthermore, the game progress processing unit 111 subtracts the calculated damage value from the physical strength value of the enemy character. Alternatively, the game progress processing unit 111 compares the total damage to the enemy character including the calculated damage value with the physical strength value of the enemy character.

  When the enemy character's stamina value is 0 or less, or when the total damage to the enemy character is equal to or greater than the enemy character's stamina value, the game progress processing unit 111 determines that the enemy character has been subjugated.

  In the battle space, the object control unit 115 causes the enemy character to perform an attacking action. The game progress processing unit 111 also determines the success or failure of the attacking action by the enemy character in the same manner as the attacking action of the operation character, and also calculates a damage value when the attacking operation character is successful.

  When the physical strength value of the operation character is 0 or less, or the total damage to the operation character is equal to or greater than the physical strength value of the operation character, the game progress processing unit 111 determines that the operation character has become unable to battle. In this case, even if the input operation receiving unit 112 receives an input operation related to the operation character, the object control unit 115 does not cause the operation character to perform an action corresponding to the input operation.

(Specific examples of preparation space)
FIG. 5 shows an example of a display screen of the preparation space. The state (A) of FIG. 5 shows an example of a display screen of the preparation space. The state (B) of FIG. 5 shows an example of a display screen when a window including a list of quests is displayed in the preparation space.

  In the state (A) of FIG. 5, the object control unit 115 arranges the operation character x corresponding to the account logged in at the user terminal 100 in the preparation space. Further, the object control unit 115 arranges other operation characters y1 and y2 in the preparation space. Furthermore, the object control unit 115 arranges NPCz in the preparation space. NPCz is an object for accepting selection and start of a quest.

  The camera arrangement control unit 113 determines the position and orientation of the virtual camera based on the position and orientation of the operation character x in the preparation space. For example, the camera arrangement control unit 113 arranges the virtual camera at a position and orientation such that the operation character x appears slightly below the center of the field of view and is looked down from the rear (back) of the operation character x. When an operation for changing the position or orientation of the operation character x is performed by the user, the object control unit 115 arranges the operation character x at the changed position and orientation. In addition, the camera arrangement control unit 113 changes the position and orientation of the virtual camera to a position and orientation corresponding to the changed position of the operation character x. Then, the display control unit 114 draws the preparation space and the operation character x in the visual field area of the virtual camera arranged in the changed direction at the changed position.

  Note that the display control unit 114 may create an image in which a UI for a user input operation is superimposed on an image obtained by drawing the above-described preparation space and objects in the preparation space. For example, the display control unit 114 may create an image in which the buttons B1 and B2 are superimposed on the preparation space and the images of the various objects described above as shown in FIG. The button B1 is a button for receiving a setting menu display instruction for the user to change the game settings, and the button B2 is a button for receiving a menu window display instruction for the user to move a map or change equipment, for example. .

  When the user terminal 100 selects NPCz, the game progress processing unit 111 instructs the display control unit 114 to draw a window W1 including a list of quests L1 that can be selected by the user. Then, as shown in the state (B) of FIG. 5, the display control unit 114 creates an image in which the window W1 is superimposed on the preparation space and the image of the object, and causes the display unit 152 to display the image. The display of the contents of each quest in the list L1 of the window W1 is an example, and is not limited to the description in FIG. In the example of the state (B) in FIG. 5, the list L1 includes three quests. For each quest, the name of the quest, the achievement condition, the map name, and the reward are described.

  In addition, the content of the achievement conditions of a quest is not specifically limited. For example, the achievement condition of the quest may be to defeat a specific number of specific enemy characters, to collect a specific number of items obtained by defeating specific enemy characters, or the like.

  The map name indicates the name of the battle space or boss battle space that transitions when a quest is selected. In addition, the reward indicates an article, a function, information, or the like that can be given to the user through the achievement of the quest and can make the game proceed more advantageously. For example, the reward may be an in-game currency or item, equipment for improving the ability of the operation character, and skill of the operation character.

(Specific examples of battle space)
FIG. 6 shows an example of a battle space display screen. The state (A) in FIG. 6 is a display screen when the user terminal 100 is held vertically and displayed in a vertical screen, and the state (B) in FIG. 6 is held so that the user terminal 100 is horizontally long. The display screen when a horizontal screen is displayed is shown.

  In the battle space, the camera placement control unit 113 determines the position and orientation of the virtual camera on the basis of the position and orientation of the operation character x as in the preparation space. However, the camera arrangement control unit 113 defines virtual cameras having different visual field areas for vertical screen display and horizontal screen display. For example, the camera arrangement control unit 113 may set the visual field area of the virtual camera in the vertical screen display to be vertically longer than the visual field area of the virtual camera in the horizontal screen display.

  In the states (A) and (B) of FIG. 6, the object control unit 115 arranges operation characters x and y3. The operation character x is an operation character of the user of the user terminal 100. The operation character y3 is an operation character of a user of another user terminal 100.

  The object control unit 115 may arrange one or more enemy characters in the battle space. In the state (A) of FIG. 6, the object control unit 115 arranges one enemy character e1. Further, the display control unit 114 may superimpose and display the target marker t1 indicating which enemy character the attack character is attacking on the enemy character. When the user's operation character subjugates an enemy character, the operation character or an account corresponding to the operation character may acquire some reward.

  The controller 110 may manage the battle space divided into a plurality of areas. In this case, the display control unit 114 may display an object icon C2 or the like for prompting the operating character to move to another area.

  When the input operation receiving unit 112 receives a predetermined operation while the game is progressing in the battle space, the display control unit 114 inputs the predetermined operation at the position where the predetermined operation is input on the touch screen 15. Display an object indicating that The predetermined operation is a moving operation for moving the operation character, an attack operation for causing the operation character to perform an attacking action, or the like. The movement operation may be a drag operation, for example, and the attack operation may be a tap operation, for example. The input operation accepting unit 112 can accept a move operation or an attack operation at an arbitrary position on the touch screen 15. Accordingly, it is possible to avoid the visual recognition of the operation character and the enemy character from being disturbed by an indicator such as a user's finger.

  The display control unit 114 may display an object indicating the direction of the moving operation on the touch screen 15 when the input operation receiving unit 112 receives the moving operation. In the state (A) of FIG. 6, the display control unit 114 displays the elastic object Q1 centered on the position U1. The position UI is a position where the input operation receiving unit 112 receives a touch-on operation. The touch-on operation is an operation for bringing the indicator into contact with or close to the touch screen 15. The indicator may be a user's finger or the like, or a stylus pen or the like.

  Here, when the user performs a moving operation to move the indicator from the position U1 to the position U2, the input operation reception unit 112 detects that the indicator has moved from the position U1 to the position U2. Based on the detection result, the display control unit 114 causes the touch screen 15 to display the elastic object Q2 that is deformed so as to extend the elastic object Q1 to the position U2. Thereby, the direction of the moving operation detected by the input operation receiving unit 112 can be recognized by the user. The display control unit 114 may display the elastic object also in the preparation space and the battle space.

  The object control unit 115 moves the operation character x in the dragged direction according to the dragged time and distance. When the input operation receiving unit 112 receives a tap operation, the object control unit 115 causes the operation character x to perform an attacking action. Then, the game progress processing unit 111 determines success or failure of the attack of the operation character x and calculates a damage value.

  In addition, the display control unit 114 may draw a UI for user input operation superimposed on the above-described battle space and an image depicting the object in the battle space. Examples of this UI include, for example, the above-described button B2, the special attack button B3 for instructing the special attack of the operation character, the recovery button B4 for instructing the recovery of the physical strength of the operation character, and placed in the same battle space Examples include a chat button B5 for chatting between accounts corresponding to the operated characters, a menu M1 indicating the status of the operating characters, a weapon switching button B6 for switching weapons of the operating characters, and the like.

  Further, the display control unit 114 may display a message corresponding to the user's operation, that is, the action of the operation character. For example, the display control unit 114 may display a message when the operation character moves to the battle space or when the operation character obtains an item.

  Note that the display control unit 114 can draw various display objects (buttons, menus, and messages) related to the above-described UI at fixed positions on the display screen of the display unit 152 regardless of the position and orientation of the virtual camera. desirable. In addition, it is desirable that the display control unit 114 draws various display objects related to the UI on the peripheral portion of the display screen of the display unit 152 so as not to interfere with input of instructions such as movement, attack, and recovery of the operation character. . In addition, the display control unit 114 desirably changes the drawing position of various display objects related to the UI described above between the vertical screen display and the horizontal screen display.

(Specific example of boss battle space)
FIG. 7 shows an example of a display screen of the boss battle space. The state (A) of FIG. 7 shows a display screen when the user terminal 100 is held so that the display unit 152 is oriented vertically. The state (B) of FIG. 7 shows a display screen when the user terminal 100 is held so that the display unit 152 is in a landscape orientation. The object control unit 115 arranges the boss character e2 together with the operation character x in the boss battle space. In the states (A) and (B) of FIG. 7, the object control unit 115 also arranges operation characters y4, y5, and y6.

  In the boss battle space, the camera placement control unit 113 may define the position and orientation of the virtual camera based on the positional relationship between the boss character e2 and the operation character x. For example, the camera arrangement control unit 113 arranges the virtual camera at an angle such that the boss character e2 appears in the center of the visual field and the operation character x appears. When the position of the boss character e2 or the operation character x is changed, the camera arrangement control unit 113 changes the position and orientation of the virtual camera to a position and orientation corresponding to the positions of the boss character e2 and the operation character x after the change. Then, the display control unit 114 draws the boss battle space and each object based on the changed position and orientation of the virtual camera.

  In the boss battle space, when the virtual camera is arranged at such an angle that the boss character e2 appears in the center of the field of view and the operation character x appears, the operation for moving the operation character x may be different from the battle space. For example, the upward drag operation may be an operation for moving the operation character x toward the boss character e2, and the downward drag operation may be an operation for moving the operation character x backward from the boss character e2.

  If the ally character causes the boss character e2 to have a predetermined physical strength value of 0 or less, or damage that exceeds the physical strength value of the boss character e2, the game progress processing unit 111 determines that the boss subjugation has been completed. If the game progress processing unit 111 determines that the boss character e2 has been subjugated, the game progress processing unit 111 may grant a special reward different from that for subverting the normal enemy character to the operation character or the account corresponding to the operation character. Good. In this case, the reward may be different among the operation characters participating in the battle. Further, the quest or game story may be advanced by subjugating the boss character e2.

  The display control unit 114 may draw a UI for the user's input operation in the boss battle space image displayed on the display unit 152 as in the battle space image illustrated in FIG. 6. Further, the display control unit 114 may display a message corresponding to the action of the teammate character or the boss character. For example, the display control unit 114 determines that the game progress processing unit 111 determines that the operation character has successfully attacked the weak point of the boss character, or determines that the friendly operation character or NPC has become unable to battle. A message notifying that may be displayed. Alternatively, when the game progress processing unit 111 determines that the boss character has fallen into a special state such as inability to act, the display control unit 114 may display a message to that effect.

  Note that the display control unit 114 renders the various display items (buttons, menus, and messages) related to the UI described above to be positioned at fixed positions on the display screen of the display unit 152 regardless of the position and orientation of the virtual camera. It is desirable to do. The display control unit 114 also displays various display items related to the UI, such as input of instructions for movement, attack, recovery, etc. of the operation character, and display of the position of the ally character, the attack action of the boss character, the weak part of the boss character, etc. It is desirable to draw on the periphery of the display screen of the display unit 152 so as not to prevent the display of important information in the battle with the boss character. In addition, the display control unit 114 desirably changes the drawing position of various display objects related to the UI described above depending on whether the display is a vertical screen display or a horizontal screen display.

[Information to be displayed]
As described above, the game of this embodiment can be multi-played. In multiplayer, it is important to play while grasping the play status of other users. By grasping the play status of other users, it becomes possible to subdue enemy characters that are difficult to subdue alone, efficiently capture quests, and collect items efficiently It is. The same applies to a game in which users play against each other. Therefore, it is preferable that the display control unit 114 appropriately displays the play status of other users so that the user can recognize the status. However, the information desired by the user differs depending on various situations in the game. Therefore, it is desirable that the display control unit 114 allows the user to easily obtain information according to the situation when the user advances the game.

  Moreover, the game of this embodiment is good also as a specification which gives an item to a user, when a user captures a quest or subjugates an enemy character. Further, by providing an item that can be acquired only by capturing a specific quest or subjugating a specific enemy character, an item that is highly difficult to obtain during the game, or the like, the item collection preference may be enhanced.

  When such an item is provided, the user searches for a desired item, moves the operation character to various places in the game space, and subverts various enemy characters. However, the range that one user can search and the enemy characters that can be subjugated are limited. For this reason, the desired item cannot be obtained easily, or the user's motivation for collecting items may be lowered by questioning whether such an item is available in the first place.

  Therefore, when another user acquires an item, the game system 1 of the present embodiment causes the display unit 152 to display reward information related to the item. This allows the user to recognize that the item can be acquired in the game space. Therefore, it is possible to maintain motivation for the collection of items of the user and enhance the game preference.

  Moreover, the game system 1 of this embodiment displays reward information only when the user terminal 100 is displaying a horizontal screen. Therefore, when the user wants to play the game while confirming the item acquisition status of other users, the user can display the screen vertically. On the other hand, if the user does not need to check the item acquisition status of other users, the user may proceed with the game on a horizontal screen display. Therefore, according to the game system 1, the range of game play can be expanded.

  In addition, although this embodiment demonstrates the example whose reward is an item, a reward is not restricted to an item. For example, rewards include in-game currency, experience values that improve the operating character, equipment, skills used by the operating character in the game, special attacks, magic, or the right to fight against specific boss characters. It doesn't matter.

[Operation example of game system (when acquiring items)]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the game system 1. In the example of FIG. 8, the game system 1 shows an operation after the operation character x and the operation character y3 are arranged in the battle space. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen displayed by the user terminal 100. The state (A) in FIG. 9 is an example of a screen when another user acquires an item during the vertical screen display. The state (B) of FIG. 9 is an example of a screen when another user acquires an item during the horizontal screen display.

  In step S101, the game progress processing unit 111 determines whether another user has acquired an item. If game progress processing unit 111 determines that another user has acquired the item (YES in step S101), the process proceeds to step S102. Note that the game progress processing unit 111 can determine whether another user has acquired an item by communicating with the server 200.

  In step S102, the display control unit 114 determines whether the user terminal 100 is displaying a vertical screen. If the display control unit 114 determines that the user terminal 100 is displaying a vertical screen (YES in step S102), the display control unit 114 proceeds to the process of step S103. On the other hand, when the display control unit 114 determines that the user terminal 100 is displaying a horizontal screen (NO in step S102), the process returns to step S101.

  In step S103, the display control unit 114 causes the display unit 152 to display information indicating items acquired by other users. Note that the information displayed by the display control unit 114 may be information related to the acquired item, and may include information other than information indicating the item. For example, as shown in the state (A) of FIG. 9, the display control unit 114 displays an item name and a message m1 (reward information) indicating that an item with the item name has been acquired at the top of the vertical screen. You may let them. Thereby, a user can be made to recognize that such an item can be acquired.

  Further, since the display control unit 114 displays the message m1 on the upper part of the display screen, the message m1 hinders the user operation on the touch screen 15, or the message m1 makes it difficult to see main objects such as operation characters. I don't have to. The “upper part” refers to a part located above the center of the display screen. In the state (A) of FIG. 9, the display control unit 114 displays the message m1 at the upper end of the screen, but the display position of the message m1 may be at the upper part of the screen, and may be lower than the upper end. Good.

  In the state (A) of FIG. 9, the display control unit 114 displays a button B2 for displaying a menu window below the message m1. Thereby, the user can easily reach the button B2 even for a user who plays the game while holding the user terminal 100 vertically and holding the user terminal 100 below. The display control unit 114 may display the button B2 further below the position adjacent to the message m1.

  Further, in the state (A) of FIG. 9, the display control unit 114 displays the character name n1 (“BBB” in this example) of the operation character of the user who acquired the item in association with the message m1. This allows the user to recognize which operation character or which user has acquired the item. Therefore, the user can also recognize the item acquisition method from the operation of the operation character of the user who acquired the item in the game. For example, when the display control unit 114 displays the character name and acquired item of the operation character that subjugated a specific enemy character, each user can recognize that the item can be acquired by subjugating the enemy character.

  On the other hand, when the display control unit 114 determines that the user terminal 100 is displaying a horizontal screen (NO in step S102), the message and the like as described above are displayed as in the example of the state (B) in FIG. I won't let you. In this case, the user cannot recognize the item acquisition status of other users, but because the horizontal field of view has a wide field of view in the left-right direction, the user proceeds with the game while sufficiently checking the situation in the left-right direction. Can do. Further, since the display control unit 114 displays the button B2 for displaying the menu window in the upper right corner of the screen, the user can easily select the button B2. In the example of FIG. 9, the display control unit 114 displays the button B2 displayed at the upper end in the state (B) and the lower side of the message m1 in the state (A). Is an operation button that accepts a user operation, and is not limited to the button B2.

[Operation example of game system (when user participates)]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing another example of the operation of the game system 1. In the example of FIG. 10, the game system 1 shows an operation after the operation character x and the operation character y3 are arranged in the battle space. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating another example of the game screen displayed by the user terminal 100. The state (A) of FIG. 11 is an example of a screen when another user newly participates in a battle during the vertical screen display. The state (B) of FIG. 11 is an example of a screen when another user newly participates in the battle while the horizontal screen is displayed.

  In step S201, the game progress processing unit 111 determines whether another user has participated in the battle. If the game progress processing unit 111 determines that another user has participated in the battle (YES in step S201), the process proceeds to step S202. The game progress processing unit 111 can determine whether another user has participated in the battle by communicating with the server 200.

  In step S202, the display control unit 114 determines whether or not the user terminal 100 is displaying a vertical screen. If the display control unit 114 determines that the user terminal 100 is displaying a vertical screen (YES in step S202), the display control unit 114 proceeds to the process of step S203. On the other hand, if the display control unit 114 determines that the user terminal 100 is displaying a horizontal screen (NO in step S202), the display control unit 114 returns to the process of step S201.

  In step S <b> 203, the display control unit 114 displays other users' messages on the display unit 152. For example, as shown in the state (A) of FIG. 11, the display control unit 114 may display a greeting message m2 at the time of participation at the top of the vertical screen. The message m2 may be, for example, a message selected by a participating user from predetermined fixed messages, or a message input by a participating user.

  In the state (A) of FIG. 11, the display control unit 114 displays the character name n2 (“DDD” in this example) in association with the message m2. This allows the user to recognize which operation character or which user has participated in the battle. Therefore, the display control unit 114 can give an opportunity for communication with a user who has already participated in a battle to a user who has already participated in the battle. For example, a user who has already participated in the battle can recognize from the display of the message m2 and the character name n2 that a known user has newly participated in the battle, and talk to the user by chat. . Thereby, the exchange between users can be promoted. Note that the information displayed by the display control unit 114 in step S203 may be information related to the participating user, and the content is not particularly limited.

  On the other hand, when the display control unit 114 determines that the user terminal 100 is displaying a horizontal screen (NO in step S202), the message and the like as described above are displayed as in the example of the state (B) in FIG. I won't let you. In this case, although the user cannot recognize the participation status of other users, the horizontal screen display has a wide horizontal field of view, so that the game can be advanced while sufficiently checking the horizontal status. it can.

  As described above, the display control unit 114 switches whether to display the message m2 and the character name n2 depending on whether the display is the vertical screen display or the horizontal screen display. Therefore, when the user wants to play the game while confirming the participation status of other users, the user may display the screen vertically. On the other hand, if the user does not need to check the participation status of other users, the user may play the game in a horizontal screen display. Therefore, according to the game system 1, the range of game play can be expanded.

[Display example in boss battle space]
FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating still another example of the game screen displayed by the user terminal 100. The state (A) in FIG. 12 is an example of a screen when another user newly participates in a battle during the vertical screen display in the boss battle space. The state (B) of FIG. 12 is an example of a screen when another user newly participates in a battle during the horizontal screen display in the boss battle space.

  In the boss battle space, as in the battle space, the user can participate in the battle on the way. For this reason, when another user participates in the battle in the boss battle space and the user terminal 100 is in the vertical screen display, the display control unit 114 displays the message m2 as shown in the state (A) of FIG. The character name n2 may be displayed on the display screen. Note that, unlike the state (A) of FIG. 12, the display control unit 114 does not superimpose the message m2 and the character name n2 on a gauge or the like indicating the battle duration with the boss character e2 and the physical strength value of the boss character e2. May be displayed. For example, the display control unit 114 may display a battle duration, a physical strength gauge, and the like below. Thereby, since a space can be secured at the upper end of the display screen, the display control unit 114 may display the message m2 and the character name n2 in this space. Also, in the state (A) of FIG. 12, the display control unit 114 may display the button B2 for displaying the menu window on the lower side of the message m2, similarly to the state (A) of FIG.

  On the other hand, when another user participates in the battle in the boss battle space, if the user terminal 100 is in the horizontal screen display, the display control unit 114, as shown in the example of the state (B) in FIG. Such messages are not displayed. In this case, the user cannot recognize the participation status of other users, but has a wide field of view in the left-right direction due to the horizontal screen display, so fight the boss character while fully checking the situation in the left-right direction. Can do.

  Similarly to the state (A) in FIG. 9, the display control unit 114 may display the message m1 and the character name n1 when another user acquires an item in the boss battle space. Similarly to the state (A) in FIG. 9, the display control unit 114 may display the message m1 and the character name n1 when another user acquires an item in the preparation space.

[Example of server-based processing]
The process of FIG. 8 may be performed based on the control of the server 200. In this case, the server processing unit 212 monitors the item acquisition status of each user participating in the multiplayer. When the server processing unit 212 determines that an item has been acquired, the transmission / reception unit 211 may cause the user terminal 100 to display information regarding the acquired item. The user terminal 100 that displays this information is the user terminal 100 that displays a vertical screen among the user terminals 100 of other users participating in the multiplayer. Note that the server 200 may determine whether the user terminal 100 is in the vertical screen display by communicating with each user terminal 100. In addition, the transmission / reception unit 211 may instruct display of information regarding the acquired item regardless of whether the user terminal 100 is in the vertical screen display. In this case, the display control unit 114 of the user terminal 100 that has received the instruction determines whether or not the display is vertical screen display, and if the display is vertical screen, the instructed information may be displayed. The same applies to the processing of FIG.

[Example of software implementation]
The control block of the control unit 110 may be realized by a logic circuit (hardware) formed in an integrated circuit (IC chip) or the like, or may be realized by software using a CPU (Central Processing Unit).

  In the latter case, the control unit 110 includes a CPU that executes instructions of a program that is software that implements each function, a ROM (Read Only Memory) in which the program and various data are recorded so as to be readable by a computer (or CPU), or A storage device (these are referred to as “recording media”), a RAM (Random Access Memory) for expanding the program, and the like are provided. Then, the computer (or CPU) reads the program from the recording medium and executes it to achieve the object of the present invention. As the recording medium, a “non-temporary tangible medium” such as a tape, a disk, a card, a semiconductor memory, a programmable logic circuit, or the like can be used.
