Then, the group organization processing unit 113 organizes a plurality of groups each having the five players as one unit, registers the groups in the group information shown in FIG. 7, and assigns the players to the groups from the entry information shown in FIG. Is deleted. At this time, the group organization processing unit 113 registers the player selected first in the group as a leader, and registers other players as members other than the leader. It should be noted that the method is not limited to the method for setting leaders in a group and members other than the leaders, and leaders and members may be determined by other methods.

  Next, when a plurality of groups are organized by the group organization processing unit 113 in this way, the server device 10 starts a matching process for matching groups that are opponents with each other. That is, the matching processing unit 114 refers to the group information shown in FIG. 7 and selects and matches two groups that are opponents from among a plurality of groups. Then, the matching processing unit 114 registers the matched groups in the selected order together in the matching information shown in FIG. Thereafter, the matching processing unit 114 transmits at least matching information and group information to the player terminals 20 of the respective players belonging to the matched group.

  In this way, players who participate in multiplayer can play cooperatively simultaneously with players in their own group that are matched in a common field, and play match-up simultaneously with players in their opponent group in that common field. Can be done.

<< Leader player terminal 20 >>
Here, the process performed by the player terminal 20 of a leader is demonstrated. In the following, first, the process related to the character battle will be described specifically, and then the process related to the arrangement of the guide marks will be described specifically.

<Character battle>
FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining processing related to a character battle in the player terminal 20 of the leader.

  The screen generation processing unit 214 of the player terminal 20 used by the leader generates a game screen 50 for the leader when a battle with the matched opponent group is started. The leader game screen 50 generated by the screen generation processing unit 214 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24 (step S101).

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen 50 for a leader. The leader game screen 50 includes a field area 51, a map area 52, and a member selection area 53.

  The field area 51 is an area for displaying a part of a common field so as to include at least a leader character. The field area 51 is also an operation area where the leader performs a game operation for moving his player character in the common field. In the present embodiment, a leader character 511 is displayed in the field area 51 based on the field information shown in FIG. 10, and the leader performs a game operation that designates an arbitrary position in the field area 51, thereby corresponding to the arbitrary position. A state in which the leader character 511 moves toward the position on the field to be displayed is displayed.

  The map area 52 is an area that displays all the common fields in a simplified manner. Here, each character is also displayed in a simplified manner in correspondence with the arrangement status of the characters in the common field. For example, the leader character 511 is displayed in a simplified manner by the white triangle mark 521a, and the ally character (that is, the player character used by the member belonging to the own group) is displayed in a simplified manner by the black triangle mark 521, and the enemy character (that is, the opponent) Player characters used by players belonging to the group) are displayed in a simplified manner by black circle marks 522. That is, in this map area 52, the arrangement status of each character in the common field is shown based on the field information shown in FIG. The map area 52 is also an operation area for performing a game operation for arranging a guide mark for the leader to guide member characters in the group in a common field. In the present embodiment, when the leader performs a game operation for designating an arbitrary position in the map area 52, the guide mark can be arranged at a position on the field corresponding to the arbitrary position.

  The member selection area 53 is an area in which member characters belonging to the same group as the leader character are displayed as selection candidates, and an operation area in which the leader performs a game operation for selecting any member character from the selection candidates. But there is. In the present embodiment, when the leader performs a game operation for designating the position of any one of the member characters 531 to 534 in the member selection area 53, the member character corresponding to the position can be individually guided. Note that member characters that have been defeated by enemy character attacks are excluded from the selection candidates.

  Returning to FIG. 11, next, the object movement processing unit 212 of the player terminal 20 of the leader designates an arbitrary position of the field area 51 when the game screen 50 for the leader is displayed on the terminal display unit 24. When the game operation is performed by the leader, the game operation information by the leader is received and the movement control of the leader character is executed (step S102).

  Specifically, the player terminal 20 of the leader performs movement control of the leader character so as to go to a position on the field corresponding to an arbitrary position designated by the leader in the field area 51 based on game operation information by the leader. . That is, the object movement processing unit 212 refers to the field information shown in FIG. 10 and acquires the coordinate data of the current position of the leader character in the field. Then, based on an arbitrary position in the field area 51 designated by the leader, the object movement processing unit 212 obtains coordinate data of the target position on the field corresponding thereto. Thereafter, the object movement processing unit 212 performs movement control of the leader character according to a vector from the current position to the target position based on the coordinate data. After the movement, the object arrangement processing unit 213 updates the coordinate data of the current position after the movement to the field information shown in FIG. 10 as the position coordinates on the field where the leader character is arranged.

  Next, when the leader character's movement control is performed, the leader player terminal 20 sends the leader character position information (such as coordinate data of the current position in the field) to the server device 10 based on the field information shown in FIG. Transmit (step S103).

  And the game progress part 111 of the server apparatus 10 will each transmit the positional infomation on the leader to the player terminal 20 of each player of an own group and an other party group, if the positional information on a leader character is received from the player terminal 20 of a leader. When the object movement processing unit 212 of the player terminal 20 of each player receives the position information of the leader character from the server device 10, similarly to the player terminal 20 of the leader, each executes movement control of the leader character. At this time, the screen generation processing unit 214 of the player terminal 20 of each player generates a game screen for the member that displays the movement of the leader character on the field.

  Next, the leader player terminal 20 determines whether or not the leader character has moved to collide with an enemy character in the common field (step S104).

  That is, the battle processing unit 211 refers to the field information shown in FIG. 10 and acquires coordinate data of enemy characters in the field. Then, the battle processing unit 211 determines, based on the acquired coordinate data, whether or not the enemy character is located on the movement path of the leader character determined according to the target position on the field. As a result of the hit determination, when it is determined that the leader character does not collide with the enemy character (step S104: NO), the process returns to the above-described step S102 and the movement control of the leader character is repeatedly performed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the leader character collides with the enemy character (step S104: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S105.

  Next, when it is determined that the leader character collides with an enemy character (step S104: YES), the leader player terminal 20 transitions to the battle game screen and then starts a battle with the enemy character (step S105). ).

  In other words, the battle processing unit 211 calculates the damage to the enemy character based on the attack character of the leader character and the defense parameter of the enemy character, etc., by the attack of the leader character, and determines the health parameter of the enemy character according to the damage. Decrease. Then, the battle processing unit 211 determines the victory of the leader character if the enemy character's health parameter can be reduced to a predetermined value or less (for example, if the health parameter can be reduced to 0).

  Also, the battle processing unit 211 calculates damage to the leader character based on the enemy character's attack parameter and the leader character's defense parameter, etc., by the enemy character's attack, and the leader character's health parameter according to the damage Decrease. Then, the battle processing unit 211 determines the defeat of the leader character if the leader character's physical strength parameter can be reduced to a predetermined value or less (for example, if the physical strength parameter can be reduced to 0).

<Arrangement of guide mark>
FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining the processing related to the arrangement of the guide mark in the player terminal 20 of the leader. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing another example of the game screen 50 for leaders.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the screen generation processing unit 214 of the player terminal 20 used by the leader generates a leader game screen 50 when a match with the matched opponent group is started. The leader game screen 50 generated by the screen generation processing unit 214 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24 (step S201).

  Next, the object placement processing unit 213 of the player terminal 20 used by the leader selects a member character in the group in the member selection area 53 when the game screen 50 for the leader is displayed on the terminal display unit 24. When the game operation to be performed is performed by the leader, game operation information by the leader is received, and a member character to be guided is determined (step S202).

  In this embodiment, when a game operation for selecting any member character from the selection candidates in the member selection area 53 is performed by the leader while the leader game screen 50 is displayed, the selection is performed. The display mode of the selected member character is changed. That is, when the member character 531 (“Character A”) is selected by the leader, for example, the screen generation processing unit 214, as shown in FIG. 50 is generated.

  Next, the object placement processing unit 213 of the player terminal 20 used by the leader performs a game operation for designating an arbitrary position in the map area 52 when the leader game screen 50 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24. When performed by the leader, the game operation information by the leader is received, and a guidance mark for guiding only the member character selected in the process of step S202 described above is arranged on the field (step S203).

  Specifically, the player terminal 20 of the leader performs control to place a guide mark at a position on the field corresponding to an arbitrary position designated by the leader in the map area 52 based on game operation information by the leader. That is, the object arrangement processing unit 213 obtains the coordinate data of the desired position on the field corresponding to the arbitrary position in the map area 52 designated by the leader. Then, the object arrangement processing unit 213 sets the coordinate data of the desired position on the field as the field coordinates shown in FIG. 10 as the position coordinates on the field where the guide mark for the member selected by the leader is arranged.

  In this embodiment, when a game operation for designating an arbitrary position in the map area 52 is performed by the leader while the leader game screen 50 is displayed, a guide mark is displayed for that position in the map area 52. Is displayed. That is, the screen generation processing unit 214 generates a game screen 50 for a leader including a map area 52 on which a star mark 523 as a guide mark is displayed, as shown in FIG.

  Next, when the guidance mark for the member character designated by the leader is placed on the field, the player terminal 20 of the leader, based on the field information shown in FIG. 10, position information of the guidance mark (the coordinates of the current position in the field). Data, etc.) is transmitted to the server device 10 (step S204).

  When the game progression unit 111 of the server device 10 receives the position information of the guide mark from the player terminal 20 of the leader, the guide mark is applied only to the player terminal 20 of the member who operates the member character designated by the leader. Send location information. When the object placement processing unit 213 of the player terminal 20 of the member receives the position information of the guide mark from the server device 10, the object placement processing unit 213 places the guide mark on the field based on the position information of the guide mark. At this time, the screen generation processing unit 214 of the player terminal 20 of the member generates a game screen for the member that displays a state in which the guidance mark is arranged on the field.

  In this way, only the member designated as the leader can see the guidance mark for himself on the screen, while other members who are not designated as the leader cannot see the guidance mark. it can.

<<Member's player terminal 20 >>
Here, a process executed on the member player terminal 20 will be described. Below, the process regarding a character battle is demonstrated concretely.

<Character battle>
FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining processing related to a character battle in the member player terminal 20.

  The screen generation processing unit 214 of the player terminal 20 used by the member generates a game screen 60 for the member when the battle with the matched opponent group is started. The member game screen 60 generated by the screen generation processing unit 214 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24 (step S301).

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen 60 for members. The member game screen 60 includes a field area 61 and a map area 62. However, unlike the leader game screen 50 shown in FIG. 12, the member selection area is not included.

  The field area 61 is an area for displaying a part of a common field so as to include at least member characters. The field area 61 is also an operation area where a member performs a game operation for moving his player character in a common field. In the present embodiment, based on the field information shown in FIG. 10, the member character 611, the enemy character 612, and the ally member character 613 are displayed in the field region 61, and the member is in an arbitrary position in the field region 61. By performing the game operation for designating, a state in which the member character 611 moves toward the position on the field corresponding to the arbitrary position is displayed.

  The map area 62 is an area that displays all the common fields in a simplified manner. Here, each character is also displayed in a simplified manner in correspondence with the arrangement status of the characters in the common field. However, of the plurality of characters in the field, only characters positioned within a predetermined range centered on their member characters are limited to be displayed in a simplified manner. However, the guide mark is displayed in the map area 62 without restriction. For example, the member character 611 of his / her own is displayed in a simplified manner by a white triangle mark 621a, and the enemy character 612 located inside the circular area A centering on his / her member character 611 (that is, belongs to the opponent group). The player character used by the player is displayed in a simplified manner by a black circle mark 622, and a member character 613 (that is, a player character used by a member belonging to the own group) located within the circular area A is also displayed by the black triangle mark 621. Simplified display. On the other hand, enemy characters and teammate characters located outside the circular area A centering on the member character 611 are not displayed in the map area 62. However, the guide mark 623 is exceptionally displayed in the map area 62 even if it is located outside the predetermined range A. Thus, since the guide mark is displayed in the map area 62 without being erased, the member moves his player character by relying on the guide mark, and thus follows the leader's guidance. As a result, the trust relationship between the leader and members in the group is increased, and the multiplayer game can be activated.

  In the present embodiment, the map area 62 on the member game screen 60 is set to have a smaller display size than the map area 52 on the leader game screen 50 shown in FIG. This is because the leader needs to perform a game operation for placing the guide mark in the map area 52, but the member does not need to perform the game operation in the map area 62.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing another example of the game screen 60 for members. The member game screen 60 includes a field area 61 and a map area 62. In the field area 61, the member character 611, the enemy character 612, and the guide mark 614 are displayed based on the field information shown in FIG. In the map area 62, one's own member character 611 is displayed in a simplified manner by a white triangle mark 621a, and the enemy character 612 located inside the circular area A centering on his / her member character 611 is a black circle mark. A guide mark 614 is also displayed in a simplified manner by a star mark 623, which is also displayed in a simplified manner by 622. In this way, only a character located within a predetermined range centered on one's own member character among a plurality of characters in the field is limited to be displayed in a simplified manner. The guidance mark is displayed in the map area 62 without restriction.

  Returning to FIG. 15, the object movement processing unit 212 of the member player terminal 20 then designates an arbitrary position of the field area 61 when the member game screen 60 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24. When the game operation is performed by the member, the game operation information by the member is received and the movement control of the member character is executed (step S302).

  Specifically, the member player terminal 20 controls the movement of the member character so as to go to a position on the field corresponding to an arbitrary position designated by the member in the field area 61 based on the game operation information by the member. . That is, the object movement processing unit 212 refers to the field information shown in FIG. 10 and acquires the coordinate data of the current position of the member character in the field. Then, based on an arbitrary position in the field area 61 designated by the member, the object movement processing unit 212 obtains coordinate data of the target position on the field corresponding to the position. After that, the object movement processing unit 212 performs movement control of the member character according to a vector from the current position to the target position based on the coordinate data. After the movement, the object arrangement processing unit 213 updates the coordinate data of the current position after the movement to the field information shown in FIG. 10 as the position coordinates on the field where the member character is arranged.

  Next, when the movement control of the member character is performed, the member player terminal 20 transmits the member character position information (such as the coordinate data of the current position in the field) to the server device 10 based on the field information shown in FIG. Transmit (step S303).

  And the game progress part 111 of the server apparatus 10 will transmit the position information of the member to the player terminal 20 of each player of a self group and a partner group, if the positional information on a member character is received from the player terminal 20 of a member. When the object movement processing unit 212 of the player terminal 20 of each player receives the position information of the member character from the server device 10, the movement control of the member character is executed. At this time, the screen generation processing unit 214 of the player terminal 20 of each player generates a game screen for the member that displays the movement of the member character on the field.

  Next, the member player terminal 20 determines whether or not the member character has collided with an enemy character in the common field by moving (step S304).

  That is, the battle processing unit 211 refers to the field information shown in FIG. 10 and acquires coordinate data of enemy characters in the field. Then, the battle processing unit 211 determines whether or not the enemy character is located on the movement path of the member character determined according to the target position on the field, based on the acquired coordinate data. As a result of the hit determination, when it is determined that the member character does not collide with the enemy character (step S304: NO), the process returns to the above-described step S302 and the member character movement control is repeatedly performed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the member character collides with the enemy character (step S304: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S305.

  Next, when it is determined that the member character collides with the enemy character (step S304: YES), the member player terminal 20 starts a battle with the enemy character (step S305).

  That is, the battle processing unit 211 calculates the damage to the enemy character based on the attack parameter of the member character, the defense parameter of the enemy character, and the like by the attack of the member character, and sets the enemy character's health parameter according to the damage. Decrease. Then, the battle processing unit 211 determines the victory of the member character if the health parameter of the enemy character can be reduced to a predetermined value or less (for example, if the health parameter can be reduced to 0).

  In the present embodiment, when a member character collides with an enemy character within a predetermined range centered on a guide mark and a battle is started, the battle processing unit 211 temporarily displays the member character's attack parameter, defense parameter, and the like. It is also possible to control the battle so that the member character is more advantageous than the enemy character by raising it. By doing so, the member relies on the guide mark to move his player character and actively starts a battle with the enemy character near the guide mark. As a result, the trust relationship between the leader and members in the group is increased, and the multiplayer game can be activated.

  In addition, the battle processing unit 211 calculates the damage to the member character based on the attack parameter of the enemy character and the defense parameter of the member character, etc., by the attack of the enemy character, and the health parameter of the member character according to the damage Decrease. Then, the battle processing unit 211 determines the defeat of the member character if the physical strength parameter of the member character can be reduced to a predetermined value or less (for example, if the physical strength parameter can be set to 0).

  As described above, according to the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, a plurality of players belonging to the same group are divided into a leader and members other than the leader, and only the leader can guide the member character by arranging the guidance mark. Therefore, it becomes possible to clarify the relationship between the guiding side and the guiding side. In addition, by dividing the operation area on the screen where the leader specifies the position on the field into a field area and a map area, a game operation for moving his player character and a game operation for placing a guidance mark are distinguished. become able to. As a result, operability can be improved in multiplayer where the order of play is not determined.

In the above-described embodiment, the player who has become a leader performs a game operation to move not only his / her player character in the common field but also a guide mark for guiding the member's player character in the common field. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, the leader may be able to perform only the game operation in which the guidance mark is arranged in the common field. In this case, the field area and the member selection area may be displayed on the leader game screen. Then, when the leader's game screen is displayed, the leader selects a member to be guided from the member selection area and designates an arbitrary position in the field area. May be able to be guided.

<Game screen for leader>
In the above embodiment, the case where the field area 51, the map area 52, and the member selection area 53 are displayed on the game screen 50 for leaders has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, the map area 52 may be deleted, and the field area 51 and the member selection area 53 may be displayed on the game screen 50 for leaders. In this case, the leader moves his / her player character by designating an arbitrary position in the field area 51 while the leader game screen 50 is displayed. Further, when the leader game screen 50 is displayed, if the leader selects a member to be guided from the member selection area 53, the field area 51 changes from the object movement operation area to the guidance object placement operation area. To switch to. Then, when the field area 51 is switched to the operation area for guiding object placement, the leader may designate the arbitrary position of the field area 51 so that the member can be guided by the placement of the guidance mark. . At this time, the field area 51 displayed on the leader game screen 50 preferably displays information in a wider range of fields than the field area 61 and the map area 62 displayed on the member game screen 60.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where all the common fields are displayed in a simplified manner in the map area 52 displayed on the game screen 50 for the leader has been described as an example. It is not limited. For example, a part of the field may be displayed in the map area 52 displayed on the game screen 50 for the leader. At this time, the map area 52 displayed on the leader game screen 50 preferably displays information in a wider range of fields than the field area 61 and the map area 62 displayed on the member game screen 60.

<Induction of member characters>
In the present embodiment described above, when the leader designates a member character to be guided and places the guidance mark in the field, the position of the guidance mark only for the player terminal 20 of the member who operates the member character designated by the leader. Although the case where member characters can be individually guided by transmitting information has been described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a guide mark common to member characters in the group may be arranged in the field so that the member characters can be guided together. That is, when the leader performs a game operation for designating an arbitrary position in the map area 52 while the leader game screen 50 is displayed, the object arrangement processing unit 213 is based on the game operation information of the leader. A common guide mark may be arranged for each member at a position on the field corresponding to the arbitrary position.

<Predetermined range>
In the present embodiment, the predetermined range centering on the member character is not limited to the circular area, and may be any shape. Similarly, the predetermined range centered on the guide mark is not limited to the circular area, and may be any shape.

<Competition processing>
In the present embodiment described above, when a battle is started by a member character in the same group colliding with an enemy character within a predetermined range centered on the guide mark arranged by the leader, the battle processing unit 211 The case where the battle can be controlled to be more advantageous than the enemy character by temporarily increasing the attack power parameter, defense power parameter, etc. of the member character has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is not limited.

  For example, the battle processing unit 211 can control the battle so that the member character is advantageous by temporarily reducing the attack power parameter, the defense power parameter, and the like of the enemy character.

  Further, for example, when the battle character 211 wins a battle with the enemy character, the battle processing unit 211 gives the member character an advantage by giving an item or the like that will be advantageous in the next battle. It is also possible to control the battle.

  Also, for example, when the member character wins a battle with the enemy character, the battle processing unit 211 greatly increases the attack power parameter, the defense power parameter, etc. so as to be advantageous in the next battle. It is also possible to control the battle so that the member character is advantageous.

  As a result, the member relies on the guide mark to move his player character and actively starts a battle with the enemy character near the guide mark. As a result, the members in the group follow the leader's guidance.

<Relationship between leader and member>
In the above-described embodiment, a case where a leader and members other than the leader are set in the group and only the leader can guide the member has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Absent.

  For example, without distinguishing between leaders and members in a group, all of them participate in multiplayer as members, and any one member in the group has a guidance right (leadership right or guidance item by lottery or clearing conditions) ), Only the member who has acquired the right to guide may be able to guide other members by placing a guide mark.

  Also, for example, when a player who is a leader in the group is set, but the leader is not fixed, and any one member in the group becomes the leader in turn, and it becomes his turn Only the leader may be able to guide other members by placing guide marks.

  Thus, a leader in the present invention is not necessarily a player named “leader”, but a player who plays a role of guiding other members within a group.
