  The drawing unit 220 performs drawing processing based on the results of various processing (game processing) performed by the processing unit 200, thereby generating an image and outputting the image to the display unit (display) 290. The image generated by the drawing unit 220 may be a so-called two-dimensional image or a so-called three-dimensional image. In particular, the drawing unit 220 generates an image that can be viewed from the virtual camera in the object space and displayed on the screen.

  Here, in the case of generating a two-dimensional image, the drawing unit 220 performs drawing in order from the objects with the set low priority, and when the objects overlap, drawing is performed by overwriting the object with high priority. .

  In addition, when generating a three-dimensional image, the drawing unit 220 of the present embodiment first calculates vertex data of each vertex of the object (model) (position coordinates of the vertex, texture coordinates, color data, normal vector or α value) Object data (model data) including (e.g.) is input, and vertex processing is performed based on vertex data included in the input object data. In addition, when performing vertex processing, vertex generation processing (tessellation, curved surface division, polygon division) for redividing a polygon may be performed as necessary.

  Also, in vertex processing, geometry processing such as vertex movement processing, coordinate conversion (world coordinate conversion, camera coordinate conversion), clipping processing, perspective conversion, or light source processing is performed, and based on the processing result, the object is displayed. Change (update, adjust) the given vertex data for the vertex group to be configured. Then, rasterization (scan conversion) is performed based on the vertex data after the vertex processing, and the faces of the polygon (primitive) are associated with the pixels. Then, following rasterization, pixel processing (fragment processing) is performed to draw pixels that constitute an image (fragments that constitute a display screen).

  In pixel processing, various processing such as texture readout (texture mapping), color data setting / modification, semitransparent composition, anti-aliasing, etc. are performed to determine the final drawing color of the pixels constituting the image, and perspective conversion is performed. The drawing color of the object is output (drawn) to the image buffer 272 (frame buffer, buffer capable of storing image information in pixel units. VRAM, rendering target). That is, in the pixel processing, per-pixel processing is performed in which image information (color, normal, luminance, α value, etc.) is set or changed in pixel units.

  This generates an image viewed from a virtual camera (given viewpoint) set in the object space. In addition, when multiple virtual cameras (viewpoints) exist, an image can be generated so that an image viewed from each virtual camera can be displayed on one screen as a divided image.

Note that the vertex processing and pixel processing performed by the drawing unit 220 are performed by hardware that enables programmatic drawing processing of polygons (primitives) by a shader program described in a shading language, that is, so-called programmable shaders (vertex shaders and pixel shaders) It may be realized. With programmable shaders, it is possible to program vertex-based processing and pixel-based processing with a high degree of freedom in the contents of drawing processing, and the expressiveness can be significantly improved compared to fixed drawing processing by hardware .

  Then, when drawing an object, the drawing unit 220 performs geometry processing, texture mapping, hidden surface removal processing, α blending, and the like.

  In geometry processing, processing such as coordinate conversion, clipping processing, perspective projection conversion, or light source calculation is performed on an object. Then, object data (position coordinates of vertex of object, texture coordinates, color data (luminance data), normal vector, α value, etc.) after geometry processing (after perspective projection conversion) is stored in the storage unit 270.

  In the texture mapping, processing is performed to map the texture (texel value) stored in the texture storage unit of the storage unit 270 to an object. Specifically, a texture (a surface property such as color (RGB) or α value) is read from the texture storage unit of the storage unit 270 using texture coordinates or the like set (assigned) to the vertex of the object, and a two-dimensional image Map the texture that is to the object. In this case, processing for associating pixels with texels, bilinear interpolation as texels interpolation, etc. are performed.

  In the present embodiment, a process of mapping a given texture may be performed when drawing an object. In this case, the color distribution (texel pattern) of the texture to be mapped can be changed dynamically.

  Also, in this case, textures with different color distributions (pixel patterns) may be generated dynamically, or textures with different color distributions may be prepared in advance to dynamically switch the textures to be used. May be Also, the color distribution of the texture may be changed on an object-by-object basis.

  In the hidden surface removal processing, hidden surface removal processing is performed by a Z buffer method (depth comparison method, Z test) using a Z buffer (depth buffer) in which the Z value (depth information) of a drawing pixel is stored. That is, when drawing a drawing pixel corresponding to a primitive of an object, the Z value stored in the Z buffer is referred to, and the Z value of the referred Z buffer and the Z value of the drawing pixel of the primitive are If the Z value at the drawing pixel is the Z value (for example, a small Z value) on the near side as viewed from the virtual camera, the drawing process of the drawing pixel is performed and the Z value of the Z buffer is newly added. Update to the correct Z value.

  In alpha blending (alpha combining), the drawing unit 220 performs semitransparent blending processing (usually alpha blending, addition alpha blending, or subtraction alpha blending, etc.) based on the alpha value (A value). The α value is information that can be stored in association with each pixel (texel, dot), and is, for example, information of plus alpha other than color information. The α value can be used as mask information, translucency (equivalent to transparency and opacity), bump information, and the like.

[4] Method of the Present Embodiment [4.1] Outline Next, the method of the present embodiment (adjustment of the execution parameter accompanying the setting process of the execution character) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining adjustment of the execution parameter accompanying the setting process of the execution character according to the present embodiment.

  The terminal device 20 of the present embodiment has a configuration in which a plurality of player characters are set in a deck, and a game such as a battle game, a shooting game or an RPG is executed by the player characters (that is, execution characters) set in the deck. ing.

  In particular, in the terminal device 20, a plurality of player characters are selected from among player characters owned by the terminal device (hereinafter referred to as "own player character") and player characters of other players (hereinafter referred to as "other player character"). Is selected as an execution character and can be set in the deck.

  Further, when the other player character is set as the execution character, the terminal device 20 sets the parameters of the other player character (hereinafter, referred to as “specific player character”) as the execution character to the player and the specific player character. It has the structure set up based on the relationship with the other player to manage.

Specifically, the terminal device 20
(1) Selection of a player character to be used for a game as an execution character from among a plurality of player characters that can be used by a player, including player characters managed by another player as specific player characters, based on the player's instructions Execute the process,
(2) Setting to set the player information 246 of the selected execution character and the value of the game parameter stored in the server device 10 to the value of the given game parameter for executing the game as the value of the execution parameter Execute the process,
(3) Run the game based on the set execution characters and the set execution parameter values,
It has a configuration.

  Then, when the specific player character is selected as the execution character as the setting process, the terminal device 20 selects the player in the selection process (that is, the player's own player) and another player who manages the specific player character. And adjusting the execution parameter based on the relationship information of and.

  For example, among the four player characters that can be set in the deck, the player character of player A (hereinafter referred to as a "friend player character") a having a friend relationship and the player character of a player B having a follow relationship (hereinafter Two specific player characters of “follow player character” are set on the deck as execution characters (ie, ghost characters), and the remaining execution characters are set for the player character of the own player (ie, own player character) Assume the case.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the terminal device 20 has a parameter value indicating a game parameter (for example, a point for executing a gacha) of the player character set in the deck, and for the friend player character, In addition to the specific player character specific value (10 points), a predetermined value (for example, 10 points) is added and the value is adjusted, and for the follow player character, the specific player character specific value (10 points) In addition, a predetermined value (for example, a value smaller than the friend relationship at 5 points) is added and the value is adjusted.

  With this configuration, in the present embodiment, when using a player character of another player as a ghost character, for example, when executing a game, the relationship on the game with the other player (for example, a follower or the like) Based on friend relationships including follow and friends, it is possible to set values of execution parameters that are advantageous for the progress of the game, and thereby achieve advantageous effects in the game.

  And in this embodiment, in order to acquire the advantageous effect in a game, since it is necessary to build the relation on other players and a game, it is actively promoted communication with other players. It can be made to

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the number of participants in the game can be increased and the game can be activated, and the interest in the game can also be improved by incorporating relationships with other players as game elements. It can be done.

  In the present embodiment, the server device 10 receives a predetermined number (for example, one) that can be used by another player from among a plurality of player characters managed by the player under the instruction of each player. The player character of is registered in advance.

[4.2] Match Game Next, a match game to be executed in the present embodiment will be described.

  The terminal device 20 according to the present embodiment is, for example, a battle game in which a plurality of player characters set in the deck by the player in advance and a plurality of enemy characters set in the deck by the computer or another player execute attacks in order. Run a (turn-based match game).

  In particular, the game management unit 217 sets the player character (including the item equipped by the player character) to be used for the battle game to the deck based on the input operation of the player, and is defined for each player character. Game parameters are set as game parameters for game execution.

  Then, the game processing unit 215 executes the battle game based on the set player characters and their game parameters.

  In particular, for each player character, the game processing unit 215 applies the corresponding player character with energy corresponding to the slide amount of the slide operation input in the direction opposite to the slide direction of the slide operation input input by the player. The game object is moved as a moving object, and game processing for attacking an enemy character arranged in the game space is executed according to the value of the set game parameter.

That is, the game processing unit 215 switches the player character executing the attack according to the given execution order to specify one player character, and performs movement control in the game space for the player character specified according to the slide operation input and Execute game processing including an attack on an enemy character.

  For example, the game processing unit 215 performs game processing including movement control of the player character in the game space and attacking the enemy character in conjunction with the movement processing unit 214.

  When the movement processing unit 214 detects a change to a state (touch release) in which the touch operation on the screen is not input during the slide operation input, the slide direction, the slide amount, and the slide time length in the slide operation input are detected. Alternatively, according to the movement of the player character in the game space and the processing associated with the movement (for example, attack on the enemy character) is controlled in accordance with the combination of the two or more of these.

  In particular, in the movement processing unit 214, when there is a wall object in the movement direction and the player character contacts the wall object, as long as there is energy for moving to the player character determined based on the slide amount, It is bounced by the contacted wall object, and movement control is performed until energy is lost.

  Then, when the game processing unit 215 detects that an enemy character has been touched during movement control, the game processing unit 215 changes the attack power that changes along with the movement control, and the value of the set game parameter. Execute an attack process such as an attack on an enemy character.

  The game processing unit 215 executes the attack processing based on the set game parameter together with the attack power that changes with the movement control, but based on the attack power that changes with the movement control. Only attack processing may be performed.

  Further, although the game in the case where the player character is used as the moving object is described above, for example, when an item (for example, bullet) such as a flying tool used by the player character is used as the moving object, The game processing unit 215 switches the player character as the operation target related object executing the attack according to the given execution sequence to specify one player character, and performs movement control in the game space for the item of the specified player character and The game processing including the attack on the enemy character will be executed.

[4.3] Relationship Information and Game Parameters Next, relationship information and game parameters in this embodiment will be described.

  The relationship information of the present embodiment is information indicating the relationship between the player and the other player on the game, and is information indicating, for example, each relationship of a follow, a follower, and a friend.

  Specifically, "follow" indicates a relationship in which predetermined information or situation on another player's game or the other player's game can be viewed as one function of the game, and "follower" indicates the own player or the own player The relationship which makes the other player browse the predetermined information and the situation regarding the game of 1 as a function of the game, and the friend mutually shows the relationship between the follower and the follow.

  That is, the relationship information includes a follower state indicating the relationship of the follower, a follow state indicating the relationship of the follow, and information indicating the friend state indicating the relationship of the friend, and the relationship having no relationship is irrelevant. Includes irrelevant states that indicate relationships.

  Further, the relationship information is associated with each other player for each player (specifically, in association with the player ID of the other player), the storage unit 140 of the server device 10 and the respective terminal devices 20. Information on the date and time when the relationship of the type is established as incidental information in addition to the type information indicating the types of friend, follower and follow described above which are stored in the storage section 270 as needed Information is included.

  In the relationship information of the present embodiment, instead of the date and time information, information of a period from when the relationship of each type is established to the present (hereinafter referred to as “period information”) is stored as incidental information It may be In this case, the game management unit 217 calculates and updates a period from the establishment of various kinds of relationships every predetermined timing such as 0 o'clock every day to the present.

  On the other hand, the relationship information of the present embodiment is used as information for determining the value of the game parameter set when the player character of another player is set on the deck as the player character of the player.

  That is, the relationship information of the present embodiment is the relationship information when the player character of another player (that is, the specific player character) is selected as the player character of the player (that is, the execution character) and set in the deck. The value of the game parameter that is advantageous for the progress of the game such as the competition game is used as information for setting the value of the execution parameter.

  Specifically, the execution parameters of the present embodiment include game parameters relating to a specific player character set as an execution character, or game parameters of a team composed of a player and an execution character set on a deck.

Also, as game parameters including execution parameters,
(1) For example, for a team of player characters that execute a game set in the player or deck such as points, in-game currency, physical strength values, and experience values, or for each player character set as an execution character Points used for the game to be awarded
(2) The ability value of the team or the ability value (attack ability, defense ability or winning probability) when the particular player character executes the game, or
(3) A value to adjust (correct) the value of (1) or (2) (for example, addition of +10 points or enhancement of ability value of + 10%),
including.

  Each player can set in advance a specific player character that can be used by another player, and the server device 10 (storage unit 140) can use the player information 146 as part of the player information 146. Information (type, initial value of game parameters, each ability value) of the registered specific player character is stored.

  In the present embodiment, when the game parameter is set to each execution character, when the player character managed by the player is set to the deck, the player set to the player information 273 of the player in question. The value of the game parameter included in the information of the character is set as it is, or used as the game parameter of the player or the team.

[4.4] Relationship information registration processing (including cancellation processing and display control processing)
Next, registration processing of relationship information in the present embodiment will be described.

The game management unit 217 lists registration candidates based on registration processing based on an ID search using a player ID, registration processing based on a follower list, and a predetermined program, and a list in which the registration candidates are listed (hereinafter referred to as “ The relationship with other players is registered by the registration process based on the “candidate list”.

  In addition, the game management unit 217 displays a specific player character managed by another player on the touch panel 12 and executes each registration process (that is, a specific player, ie, a player). In a case where relationship information indicating a relationship with another player is displayed and a given instruction is detected, the corresponding player (that is, the player's own player) is interlocked with the server device 10 Control the registration or deletion of the relationship with another player that manages the specific player character to be detected, and update the corresponding relationship information based on the result of the control.

(Registration processing based on ID search)
The game management unit 217 executes a follow registration process of following another player by a predetermined operation in the game. Then, when the game management unit 217 executes a follow registration process for following another player, the other player performs a follower registration process for registering the player who has executed the follow registration process (that is, the own player) as a follower. Run.

  As the follow registration process, the game management unit 217 operates in conjunction with the server device 10, and receives the player's operation, and based on the player ID input, the player list stored in the server device 10 Search for the player (listed data).

  Then, when the input player ID matches the listed player ID, the game management unit 217 determines the input player ID (that is, the player's own player) that is executing the search. The relationship with other players having the target player is registered as follow (that is, relationship information indicating the follow relationship is registered), and the player information 146 of the server apparatus and the player information 273 of the storage unit 270 are updated. Execute the follow registration process.

  Then, at this time, the game management unit 217 registers, as a follower, the relationship with the player (that is, the own player) executing the search in another player having the input player ID (that is, the target player). (That is, the relationship information indicating the follower relationship is registered), and executes the follower registration process of updating the player information 146 of the server apparatus and the player information 273 of the storage unit 270.

  In addition, the game management unit 217 determines that the relationship with the player who is performing a search is registered as a follow by another player having the player ID follow that has already been input in the follow registration process (the follower of the own player has already been ), The relationship with the other player is registered as a friend (ie, relationship information indicating a friend relationship is registered), the player information 146 of the server apparatus, and the player information of the storage unit 270. Execute friend registration processing for updating 273.

(Registration processing based on the follower list)
The game management unit 217 operates in conjunction with the server device 10, and generates a follower list in which player IDs to be followed by the other player are listed in accordance with the instructions of the player or according to the program being played. Then, the follow registration is executed by instructing the player from the generated follower list to execute the friend registration processing.

  Specifically, the game management unit 217 extracts the player ID for following the player from the player information 146 of the server apparatus and the player information 273 of the storage unit 270, and makes a list of the extracted player ID groups for the follower list. Generate However, at this time, the game management unit 217 excludes the other players for which the relationship information of the friend relationship has already been registered, and generates the follower list.

  In addition, the game management unit 217 may generate a follower list randomly or in a predetermined order such as the order of player IDs, or the old order of registration of followers or the last play date (including during play) of other players. A predetermined number of registration candidates may be extracted in order of closeness.

(Registration processing based on the candidate list)
The game management unit 217 follows the other player having a predetermined condition based on the history information indicating the game history of the player in cooperation with the server device 10 based on a predetermined timing or an instruction of the player. Alternatively, it is extracted as a friend relationship registration candidate, and the extracted registration candidates are listed together with other player information (player ID, nickname, game level, and last play date or status).

  Then, the game management unit 217 executes the follow registration or the friend registration by instructing the player from the generated list of the follow relationship or friend relationship registration candidates (hereinafter referred to as “registration candidate list”). Execute registration process.

  In this case, the game management unit 217 excludes from the list other players that already have the relationship information of the follow relationship or the friend relationship.

  For example, the game management unit 217 sets (that is, uses) the player character as an execution character within a period (hereinafter, referred to as “reference period”) from the current time until a predetermined period (for example, one week) before ) The other player in the irrelevant state, or the other player in the irrelevant state who has executed the transmission and reception of the message in the reference period, is extracted to generate a registration candidate list of the following relation.

  In addition, for example, the game management unit 217 performs, in the past game, another player in an irrelevant state in which the player character is set as the execution character a predetermined number of times (for example, three or more times) Extract the other players in the irrelevant state that have been executed three or more times, and generate a registration candidate list for the follow relationship.

  On the other hand, for example, the game management unit 217 sets the player character as an execution character within a period (hereinafter, referred to as “reference period”) from a current period to a predetermined period (for example, one week) ago. And other players in the reference period, the other players in the follower relationship state that have executed the transmission and reception of the message are extracted to generate a friend relationship registration candidate list.

  In addition, for example, the game management unit 217 performs, in the past game, another player in a follower relationship state in which the player character is set as the execution character a predetermined number of times (for example, three or more times) , And three or more) extracting the other players in the follower relationship state which has been executed, and generating a registration candidate list of friend relationships.

  In addition, for example, the game management unit 217 inquires the player of whether or not to follow another player in the irrelevant state used in the immediately preceding battle game, and based on the instruction of the player, the relationship with the other player. You may register relationship information that follows

  In addition, when there is a limit to the number of registration candidate lists such as a display limit of the game screen, the game management unit 217, for example, the closer the date and time when the player character is used and the date and time when the message was sent A predetermined number of registration candidates are extracted based on the priorities of the other players of each registration candidate, for example, the higher the priority, the higher the priority.

  When the game management unit 217 displays each registration candidate on the touch panel 12 in conjunction with the display control unit 212, the game management unit 217 displays the registration candidates in descending order of priority.

(Friend registration)
The game management unit 217 determines that the relationship between each player and another player is a follow relationship, ie, a follower relationship, at the timing of registration instruction as a follow or follower or at a predetermined timing such as 0 o'clock every day. If it is determined that the relationship is determined to be a friend.

  Then, the game management unit 217 registers, as a friend, relationship information between the player determined to be a friend and another player in the player information 146 of each player.

(Relationship automatic registration)
The game management unit 217 makes friends between players who satisfy the predetermined condition even if there is no registration of the relationship as a follow or follower in the relationship between the players. , Or as a follower or follower, and the relationship information of each applicable player may be registered in the player information 146 of each player as a friend, a follower or a follower.

Specifically, the game management unit 217
(1) At a given timing, based on the history information on the game of each player stored in the server device 10, a specific process of identifying another player having a given condition in the past game of the corresponding player Run
(2) Registering, in the server device 10, the relationship between the player in question and the other identified player based on the provided given conditions.
It has a configuration.

For example, in the present embodiment, as given conditions,
(1) The number of times the player participates in the same event as the corresponding player is a predetermined number of times or more
(2) The number of contacts with other players in the game is equal to or greater than a predetermined number,
(3) Sending a specific message (including a fixed message such as “Like”) to another player, or sending a message more than a predetermined number of times,
(4) Having received a specific message sent from another player, or the number of times the message has been received is more than a predetermined number of times,
(5) The number of times of use of the player character of the player is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, and
(6) Each condition includes the number of uses of the player character of another player being equal to or more than a predetermined number.

  Also, for example, in the present embodiment, with regard to the above conditions (1) and (2), the determination condition as a friend, the above conditions (3) and (6), a follower condition, and the above Used as the conditions of (4) and (5).

Furthermore, when the relationship information indicating the follow is already registered, and the above conditions (4) and (5) are satisfied, or the relationship information indicating the follower is already registered In this case, if the above conditions (3) and (6) are satisfied, it is determined as a friend.

(Display control process during registration process)
The game management unit 217 is linked to the display control unit 212 in conjunction with the server device 10, and relates to a player character managed by another player or a game of the other player when performing follow registration, follower registration, and friend registration. Information (player ID, nickname, player level, and last play date or status) is displayed on the touch panel 12.

  In particular, as described later, when the display control unit 212 executes the above-described registration process, the display control unit 212 performs a registration process with another player who manages the particular player character in association with the particular player character. The relationship information or information regarding the status of the relationship between another player in another player who manages the specific player character and another player different from the other player (hereinafter referred to as “relationship relationship information”) is displayed.

  Details of display control processing at the time of registration processing in the display control unit 212 of the present embodiment will be described later.

(Registration cancellation)
As described above, the game management unit 217 uses the candidate list or the like to indicate relationship information between another player who manages the specific player character and the player who executes the registration process, or other information that manages the specific player character. In the case where the relationship information of the relationship in the player is displayed on the game screen, and the relationship information of the follow, follower or friend is already registered, the detected given instruction such as the instruction of the player On the basis of the above, the registered relationship is released, and the player information 146 of the server apparatus and the player information 273 of the storage unit 270 are updated accordingly.

  Note that the “given instruction” may be a player's operation instruction, or, for example, when the registration period of the relationship with another player is limited and the time limit is reached, the game It may be an instruction specified on a program in processing.

(Others)
In the present embodiment, the number of persons who can set the follow state and the friend state may be limited (for example, 10) or may not be limited. Also, as the game level goes up, the number of limited persons may increase.

[4.5] Selection Process of Execution Character Next, the selection process of the execution character according to the present embodiment will be described.

  The character management unit 213 uses, for a game, a selectable player character group including a player character managed by the player and a specific player character managed by another player based on a player's instruction. A selection process is performed to select a player character as an execution character.

  In particular, a predetermined number (for example, one) of player characters that can be used by another player when setting a deck is registered in advance as a specific player character in the server device 10, and the character management unit 213 In conjunction with 10, information of the specific player character of the other player registered in advance is acquired, and the specific player character acquired in conjunction with the display control unit 212 is selectively displayed on the execution character.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the number (at least one) for which at least the player's player character must be selected is predetermined, and the character management unit 213 executes the selection process under the restriction.

  Furthermore, when the character management unit 213 displays the player character group selectable as the execution character in conjunction with the server device 10 and the display control unit 212, the player character such as each own player character or each specific player character May be displayed for each type of relationship, for each type of relationship of another player, such as for each friend, or for each adjustment value for adjusting the execution parameter, or another player who has logged in to the game most recently (for example, The other player who has logged in for the last two days may be extracted, and the specific player character managed by the extracted other player may be displayed preferentially.

  The details of the display control unit 212 for displaying selectable player character groups for the execution character will be described later.

[4.6] Parameter Setting Process Next, the parameter setting process according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 12. 7 to 12 are diagrams for describing parameter setting processing in the present embodiment.

(Basic principle)
The game management unit 217 executes a selection process of selecting a predetermined number of player characters from the plurality of player character characters that can be set by the player as execution characters for executing a game such as a battle game, and setting the selected player characters in the deck. Then, information on the set player character (in particular, the value of the game parameter set to the player character) is acquired from the player information 273 or the like, and the acquired value of the game parameter is set to the game parameter for game execution. Do.

  In particular, as described above, the game management unit 217 is configured of game parameters relating to a player character (including a specific player character) set as an execution character in the deck, or an execution character set in the player or the deck. The game parameters of the team in question are set as the game execution parameters (ie, execution parameters).

  At this time, when the player character managed by the player is selected as the execution character, the game management unit 217 does not change the value of the game parameter of the player character obtained from the player information 273 (without adjustment). ) Set the game parameters for execution.

  On the other hand, when a player character (that is, a specific player character) managed by another player is selected as the execution character, the game management unit 217 interlocks with the server device 10, and the server device 10 (specifically, A game in which the value of the game parameter of the specific player character stored in the player information 146) of the other corresponding player is adjusted based on the relationship information of the own player and the corresponding other player. Set the value of the parameter to the game parameter for game execution.

  That is, in such a case, the game management unit 217 adjusts the value of the game parameter of the specific player character set in the game parameter for game execution based on the relationship between the friend, the follower, and the follow.

  Specifically, when a player character (that is, a specific player character) managed by another player is selected as the execution character, the game management unit 217 sets the value of the execution parameter to a friend, a follower, and a follow Adjust to the value to get the advantageous effect in order.

  That is, the game management unit 217 improves the value of the execution parameter regarding the performance of the specific player character selected as the execution character, such as the offensive power or defensive power or the ability of the execution character such as agility or magic, in the order of friend, follower and follow. Set to a value (increase the value).

  In order to obtain many friend registrations in which the value of the execution parameter is a more advantageous value, it is required to actively execute communication between players, and in order to acquire many such friend registrations, the player is required to Communication between them is also necessary.

  Therefore, in order to use the communication between players as a game element, the game management unit 217 changes the value of the execution parameter according to the type of the relationship information, and a specific player of another player having a relationship that requires more communication. When a character is selected as the execution character, it is adjusted to a value capable of obtaining more advantageous effects.

  For example, when the relationship between the player's own player and another player is “follow” (when the player's own player is following another player), the game management unit 217 sets the ability of the execution character to manage the execution character. In order to raise it, the value x of the execution parameter to be a reference is adjusted to 1.5 times the value of 1.5x.

  Then, for example, when the relationship is a follower (when the other player is the follower of the player), the game management unit 217 doubles the value x of the execution parameter serving as a reference to improve the ability of the execution character. If the relationship is a friend, the value x of the execution parameter as a reference is adjusted to a value 3x which is tripled in order to improve the ability of the execution character.

  In addition, when the specific player character is selected as the execution character, the game management unit 217 changes the characteristic related to the ability of the execution character determined by the execution parameter according to the friend, the follow or the follower.

  That is, since the game management unit 217 can change the ability characteristics of the execution character such as the attack characteristics and the defense characteristics of the specific player character selected as the execution character by the friend, the follower or the follow, the game strategy can be The interest of the game can be improved by introducing elements of communication with other players.

For example, in the case where the relationship between the player's own player and another player is “follow” (in the case where the player's own player is following the other player), the game management unit 217 determines that
(A) The ability characteristic of an execution character attacking in one attack turn in one attack turn, the ability characteristic in which the attack frequency becomes high in one attack turn (for example, it is a turn of a player character and attacked by a plurality of player characters Change the ability to execute multiple attacks (including consecutive attacks) when executing, or
(B) The ability characteristic is changed to an ability characteristic in which the execution character can attack continuously (for example, an ability characteristic in which a plurality of attacks are continuously performed at the turn of the execution character).

Also, for example, if the relationship between the player and another player is a follower (if the other player is a follower of the player), the game management unit 217 executes a single attack in the attack turn of the enemy character. If you
(A) The ability characteristic of the execution character that protects the single attack is changed to an ability characteristic that can prevent the continuous attack performed in the attacking turn of the enemy character, or
(B) The ability characteristic which defends the attack in the attacking turn of the enemy character with a probability of 50% is changed to the ability characteristic which protects with a probability of 90%.

  Note that “value for obtaining advantageous effect” means that, if the execution parameter indicates the ability of the execution character or the entire plurality of player characters (for example, the ability of the team set in the deck) A value to be increased is indicated, and if the game parameter indicates a point, a high point is indicated, and if the execution parameter indicates a winning probability, a value indicating a high probability is indicated.

  In addition, since the friend relationship is also a follow relationship and a follower relationship, the game management unit 217 follows the adjustment of the value of the execution parameter or the change in the ability characteristic of the execution character based on the friend relationship. It may be changed based on the follower relationship.

(When adjusting the execution parameter for each player)
For example, the game parameter and the execution parameter win a predetermined item (for example, an item as an accessory to be used for a game, a character card appearing in a game, an in-game currency, points, etc.) from a plurality of items by lottery. It is assumed that the player character of the player or another player is selected in the case of points (chacha points) for executing a game.

  In this case, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the game management unit 217 determines that the player is the player among the plurality of player characters x, y and z displayed on the setting screen of the execution character. When the player character x to be managed is selected, the value "5" defined as the gacha point of the player character x is set as the gacha point (no adjustment).

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the game management unit 217 is a case where the “relevant state” is indicated by the relationship information of the player and the other player A, and the execution character As a player character a managed by another player in the irrelevant state is selected, the value “5” defined as the gacha point of the player character a is set as the execution parameter, and the value Adjust the gacha point by adding "+2" to.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the game management unit 217 indicates that the “follow state” is indicated by the relationship information of the player and the other player C, and the execution character is displayed. As a player character c managed by another player in the following state is selected, the value “5” defined as the gacha point of the player character c is set as the execution parameter, and the value Adjust the gacha point by adding "+3" to.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 10 (A) and 10 (B), the game management unit 217 indicates that the “follower state” is indicated by the relationship information of the player and the other player D, and the execution character As a player character d managed by another player in the follower state is selected, “+5” defined as a gacha point of the player character d is set as an execution parameter, and Adjust the gacha point by adding "+5".

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the game management unit 217 is a case where “friend status” is indicated by the relationship information of the player and the other player E, and the execution character If a player character e managed by another player in the friend state is selected, the value “5” defined as the gacha point is set as the execution parameter, and “+10” is set as the value. Add and adjust the gacha point.

(When adjusting execution parameters across teams)
When setting (adjusting) the execution parameter of the whole team as the execution parameter, the game management unit 217 sets numerical values related to relationship information with the player and the other player who manages the specific player character set as the execution character. (For example, the ratio in the type of relationship) is aggregated, and the execution parameter is adjusted based on the aggregation result.

  For example, in the case where the game parameter indicates a given ability such as an attack, and the execution parameter indicates an ability such as an attack on the entire team, one player character of the own player has the following relationship information. In the case where two specific player characters of another player and one player character of another player having friend relationship information are selected, the execution is performed based on the ratio calculated in the type of the relationship Assume that parameters are set.

  In this case, since there is one other player having friend relationship information, the game management unit 217 calculates that the composition ratio is 25%, and there are two other players having follow relationship information. The management unit 217 calculates the composition ratio as 50%.

  Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the game management unit 217 uses a composition ratio of 25% of friends, assuming that the sum of execution parameters defined in advance for each execution character is 20 (each defined gacha point is 5). Use the additional points of "+5 (= 20 x 0.25)" and the follow ratio of 50% to become the additional points of "+ 10 (= 20 x 0.5)" and execute the points of the whole team Adjust the value of the parameter to "35".

  In the present embodiment, the execution parameter is set for the player using the specific player character regardless of the setting of the deck. That is, the server device 10 monitors the parameter setting process of each player, and when the specific player character of another player is set as the execution character by the setting process, the irrelevant state, the follower state, the follow state or the friend is In accordance with each state of the state, the execution parameters of the other player are adjusted, for example, with the same points as the player's own at the gacha point.

  In addition, the game management unit 217 executes, as adjustment timing of the execution parameter, at a deck setting (that is, immediately) or at a predetermined timing such as three o'clock every day.

(Relationship establishment period)
When a player character (that is, a specific player character) managed by another player is selected as the execution character, the game management unit 217 determines not only the type of the relationship but also each relationship such as a follower, a follower, and a friend. The execution parameter set by the predetermined game parameter of each execution character may be adjusted based on the period in which the sex is established.

In particular, the game management unit 217
(1) When a specific player character is selected as the execution character, the relationship indicated by the relationship information is established based on the accompanying information included in the relationship information used when setting the execution parameter. Get the period
(2) A configuration is provided in which the value of the corresponding execution parameter is adjusted based on the acquired period together with the relationship indicated by the relationship information.

  Specifically, when the specific player character is selected as the execution character, the game management unit 217 determines the type of information included in the relationship information in the other player acquired from the server device 10 (specifically, the information is irrelevant , A follower, a follower and a friend) and a specific type of relationship (specifically, a follower, a follower and a friend) when the relationship is established (that is, when the object's relationship information is registered) Acquire additional information (period information) such as date and time.

  Then, the game management unit 217 calculates a period (hereinafter referred to as a “relationship establishment period”) in which the relationship between the follower, the follower, the friend, etc. is established based on the acquired incidental information and the current date and time. Based on the relationship and the calculated relationship establishment period, the execution parameter related to the corresponding execution character (the specific player character selected as the execution character) or the execution character set for the player or the deck Adjust the team execution parameters.

  In addition, the game management unit 217 adjusts the value to obtain a more advantageous effect as the relationship establishment period becomes longer.

  For example, as described above, in the case where the game parameter and the execution parameter are the gacha point, even if the game management unit 217 indicates the friend's relationship, if the relationship establishment period is two weeks, The added gacha point is made larger than in the case where the relationship establishment period is one week.

  In the present embodiment, the date and time when the relationship is established is registered as the incidental information, and the game management unit 217 calculates the relationship establishment period when adjusting the execution parameter, The relationship establishment period calculated in advance may be registered as incidental information at a predetermined timing.

(Use of game history)
When a player character (that is, a specific player character) managed by another player is selected as the execution character, the game management unit 217 determines the relationship with the other player as well as the type of the relationship. Based on the past player history, the execution parameters set by the predetermined game parameters of each execution character may be adjusted.

In particular, the game management unit 217
(1) When a specific player character is selected as the execution character, history information is acquired from the server device 10 of the player's own and other players who manage the specific player character,
(2) Adjusting the value of the execution parameter based on the play history indicated by the history information acquired together with the relationship indicated by the relationship information
It has a configuration.

Specifically, when the specific player character is selected as the execution character, the game management unit 217 determines the type of information included in the relationship information in the other player of the player (specifically, irrelevant, follower, The history information indicating the play history in the past game with the other player and the other player is obtained.

  Also, based on the acquired play history information, whether the game has been executed in cooperation in a predetermined number of times or more (that is, has the same game been executed in cooperation) or the other predetermined number of times or more It is determined whether or not a given condition is satisfied, such as whether the game is executed using the player character in the player.

  When the game management unit 217 determines that the given condition is satisfied, the game management unit 217 sets the execution parameter for the corresponding execution character (the specific player character selected as the execution character) or the player or the deck. Adjust the execution parameters of the team consisting of the execution characters.

  For example, as described above, in the case of the game parameter and the execution parameter being a gacha point, even if the game management unit 217 indicates a friend relationship, the game management unit 217 can satisfy the above conditions. Adjust the gacha point by adding a predetermined point.

In the present embodiment, as given conditions,
(1) The time when you log in to the game of another player is before the predetermined date,
(2) The total execution time of games of other players is longer than a predetermined time,
(3) The number of times the player has participated in the same event as another player is a predetermined number of times or more,
(4) The number of contacts made with other players in the game is equal to or greater than a predetermined number,
(5) Sending a specific message (including a fixed message such as “Like”) to another player, or sending a message more than a predetermined number of times,
(6) Having received a specific message sent from another player, or the number of times the message has been received is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, and
(7) Each condition includes the number of times of use of the player character of the player or another player being equal to or more than a predetermined number.

(Others)
The game management unit 217 determines the number of friends of the corresponding specific player character, such as the number of friends registered or the number of followers, based on the number of players of specific relationships possessed by other players who manage the specific player character selected as the execution character. The value of the execution parameter may be adjusted.

  Specifically, the game management unit 217 determines a specific relationship (friend relationship, follower relationship or the like) in the other player based on the relationship information in the other player who manages the specific player character selected as the execution character. The number of players having both may be acquired, and the value of the execution parameter of the corresponding specific player character may be adjusted based on the type of relationship between the player and another player and the acquired number of players.

  In this case, when using different types of relationships in the number of players having a specific relationship serving as a basis for adjusting the value of the execution parameter, the number of players is doubled for the friend relationship. A correction value such as may be used.

  Further, in this case, when using the number of players having a friend relationship, the number of players × 5 points is added to the value of the execution parameter, and when using the number of players having the follower relationship, the number of players is set as the value of the execution parameter. The range to be adjusted may be changed according to the type of relationship, such as adding 2 points. However, it is preferable to reduce the adjustment range in the order of friend, follower and follow.

  On the other hand, according to the attribute of the specific player character, the game management unit 217 sets the type of the relationship (i.e., friend, follower or follow) with the own player and another player who manages the specific player character set as the execution character. The game parameter to be adjusted or the numerical range to be adjusted may be changed based on that.

  For example, an attribute such as water, fire, or soil is set to each player character, and the game management unit 217 sets the specific player character of the attribute of water as the execution character. If the relationship with another player managing the specific player character is a friend, adjust the execution parameter to 10 times, while if the relationship is a follower, adjust the execution parameter twice. Alternatively, without adjusting the execution parameter, the game parameter set for the specific player character may be set as the execution parameter as it is.

  Further, for example, when attributes such as water, fire, and soil are set to each player character, and two or more game parameters such as an attack power, a defense power, or a winning probability of a gacha are defined. The type of game parameter to be changed as an execution parameter may be changed according to the relationship.

  Specifically, in such a case, if the relationship between the player's own player and another player who manages the specific player character is a friend, the game management unit 217 sets the water set as the execution character. The game parameter of the offensive power is adjusted as an execution parameter for the specific player character of the attribute, and the game parameter of the winning probability of the gacha is adjusted as the execution parameter for the specific player character of the fire attribute set as the execution character. May be
