The information related to the game medium may include information indicating a name of the game medium, image information indicating the game medium, a type of the game medium, or information indicating a parameter such as a level or an attribute.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the information on the effect A that can be generated in the game and stored in association with the information on the game content is, for example, information on a skill effect. Skill effects are a type of specific effect that affects the game. The skill effect may be a so-called active effect that occurs when generation of “skill”, which is a special skill inherent in the game medium, is instructed by a player, or when a predetermined effect generation condition is satisfied, A so-called passive effect that occurs during the process may be used.

  The skill effect is, for example, an effect that changes the state of the game medium. The effect of changing the state of the game medium is, for example, an "effect of increasing the parameter of the attack power of the game medium" or an "effect of increasing the parameter of" speed "within a predetermined effective period". The skill effect may be “an effect of increasing the parameter of the attack power of a specific attribute (such as“ fire attribute ”)”, or an effect of not receiving damage related to a specific attack from an enemy.

  The information on the skill effect is, for example, identification information for identifying the skill effect. The information on the skill effect may be a sequence of instructions for causing the game device to realize the skill effect.

Hereinafter, the “game content” used by the player when the game device advances the game based on the information on the game content may be referred to as “player game content”.

  The game device determines whether or not a predetermined condition regarding the progress of the game is satisfied as the game progresses. The predetermined conditions regarding the progress of the game are various conditions that can be satisfied according to the progress of the game. The predetermined condition relating to the progress of the game is, for example, a condition that the number of predetermined operations performed by the player game medium in the game reaches a predetermined number, or the number of game effects generated by the player game medium in the game. This is a condition that a predetermined number of times has been reached. The predetermined operation is, for example, an attack of the player game medium on the enemy game medium.

  The predetermined condition regarding the progress of the game may be a condition that a parameter corresponding to the number of predetermined operations performed by the player game medium in the game has exceeded a predetermined value. The predetermined condition regarding the progress of the game may be a condition that a parameter corresponding to the number of predetermined operations performed by the player game medium in the game has fallen below a predetermined value. The predetermined condition regarding the progress of the game may be a condition that a parameter corresponding to the number of game effects generated by the player game medium in the game has exceeded a predetermined value. The predetermined condition relating to the progress of the game may be a condition that a parameter corresponding to the number of game effects generated by the player game medium in the game has fallen below a predetermined value.

  The predetermined condition relating to the progress of the game may be a condition that a specific parameter relating to a player game medium has exceeded a predetermined value, or a condition that a specific parameter relating to a player game medium has fallen below a predetermined value. The specific parameters related to the player game medium include, for example, the level of the player game medium, the HP (Hit Point) of the player game medium, the number of skills that the player game medium can use in the game, and the enemy that the player game medium has defeated in the game. This is the number of game media (such as enemy characters).

  The predetermined condition relating to the progress of the game may be a condition that a specific parameter relating to the player has exceeded a predetermined value, or a condition that a specific parameter relating to the player has fallen below a predetermined value. Specific parameters related to the player are, for example, the level of the player, the experience value of the player, the virtual currency value that the player can use in the game, and the number of items that the player can use in the game.

  When determining that the predetermined condition relating to the progress of the game is satisfied ((1) in FIG. 1), the game device determines whether the effect generation condition of the effect A associated with the information regarding the player game medium is satisfied. . For example, when the effect A is an active effect, the game device determines whether or not generation of a skill effect has been instructed by the player. When the effect A is a passive effect, the game device determines whether a passive effect occurrence condition is satisfied. Hereinafter, a case where the effect A is the active effect will be described as an example.

  When the game device determines that the effect A (for example, the skill effect instructed by the player) is a specific effect ((3) in FIG. 1), the effect different from the effect A in a predetermined possible period is determined. B is continuously generated in the game ((3) (i) in FIG. 1). The effect B is a kind of a specific effect affecting the game, and is, for example, a passive effect. The passive effect is an effect that continues during the progress of the game when a predetermined passive effect generation condition is satisfied. The passive effect is, for example, an effect in which at least one of the parameters related to the player game medium increases by a predetermined ratio.

  The effect B that occurs when the effect A is determined to be a specific effect is not limited to the passive effect, and may be an active effect. The effect B may be any effect as long as it is a specific effect affecting the game. Further, the effect B may be a plurality of types of effects that occur simultaneously or continuously.

  If the game device determines that the effect A (for example, the skill effect instructed by the player) is a specific effect ((3) in FIG. 1), the game device displays the effect C corresponding to the game medium associated with the player, It is set to be able to occur within a predetermined possible period ((3) (ii) in FIG. 1). The effect C corresponding to the game medium associated with the player is a type of a specific effect that affects the game, which is different from the effects A and B. The game medium corresponding to the effect C is, for example, a predetermined item associated with the player. In this case, the effect C is a unique item effect of the predetermined item. The game medium corresponding to the effect C may be a player character or the like associated with the player, or any game medium that can be operated in the game.

  The item effect occurs when a predetermined item is selected by the player. For example, the game device displays an operation object indicating a predetermined item during the possible generation period. The displayed operation object can be selected by the player, and is, for example, an item image. When the selection of the operation object is instructed by the player, the game device generates an item effect corresponding to a predetermined item corresponding to the operation object. The game device ends the display of the operation object when the possible generation period has elapsed. As described above, when the condition for generating the effect C is satisfied (for example, when an operation of selecting a predetermined item is performed by the player within the possible generation period), the game device performs the effect C (the item corresponding to the predetermined item). Effect) in the game ((4) in FIG. 1).

  The effect C may be the same effect as the active effect. In this case, when an effect similar to the active effect is instructed by the player during the possible period, the effect is generated in the game. Further, the effect C may be any effect as long as it is a specific effect affecting the game.

  When it is determined that the effect A is a specific effect, a plurality of types of effects C may be set to be able to be generated within a predetermined possible period. For example, when the effect set to be able to occur in the possible period is an item effect, the game device displays a plurality of operation objects indicating each of the plurality of predetermined items. When the player instructs to select any one of the plurality of operation objects, the game device generates an item effect of a predetermined item corresponding to the selected operation object. As described above, since the player can select a plurality of displayed operation objects within the possible period, the game device can generate a plurality of item effects within the possible period. .

FIGS. 5A and 5B, FIGS. 6A and 6B, FIGS. 7A and 7B, and FIGS. 8A and 8B show the display unit 24 of the portable terminal 2. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a game progress screen 500 to be displayed.

  The game progress screen 500 shown in FIG. 5A includes player game medium images 501a to 501e, player gauge images 502a to 502e, player points 503a to 503e, an operation game medium image 504, a moving game element image 505a, and a representative player game medium. An image 506a, a player parameter gauge image 506b, an enemy game medium image 507a, an enemy parameter gauge image 507b, and the like are included.

  The player game medium images 501a to 501e are game medium images indicating each registered player game medium.

  Each of the player gauge images 502a to 502e is an image showing a gauge (bar graph) having a length corresponding to an operation result point associated with each player game medium. The operation result point is a point associated with each player game medium based on the operation game medium image 504 moved and operated by the player and the moving game element image 505a that automatically moves in accordance with the progress of the game. When the game provided by the game system 1 is a puzzle game in which a plurality of game elements are arranged, an operation result point is associated with each player game medium according to a player's selection operation on each of the plurality of game elements. It may be a point.

  As described above, the operation result point is a point associated with each player game medium by various operations of the player on the game element in the game provided by the game system 1. The points associated with the player game contents are points associated with the game elements corresponding to the player game contents.

  The player points 503a to 503e are images indicating player points associated with each player game medium. The player point is a point related to a predetermined operation (for example, “attack”) performed by the player game medium in the game. The “attack” is an operation in which the player game medium decreases HP, which is an enemy parameter of the enemy game medium described later.

  The player point associated with the player game medium is, for example, a value represented by “(predetermined number) − (number of predetermined operations performed by the player game medium in the game)”. In this case, if the “predetermined number” is “10” and the “number of predetermined operations performed by the player game medium in the game” is “2”, the player point is “8”. Further, when the player point reaches “0” in accordance with the progress of the game, it is set so that a skill effect described later can be generated. When the skill effect set to be able to be generated is generated by the player, “the number of predetermined operations performed by the player game medium in the game” is set to “0”. That is, when the player game medium next performs a predetermined operation, the “number of predetermined operations performed by the player game medium in the game” is “1”. Note that the player point is calculated by multiplying the “predetermined coefficient” by the “number of predetermined operations performed by the player game content in the game” and subtracting the calculated value from the “predetermined number”. Good.

  Further, the player point associated with the player game medium may be a value obtained by multiplying “the number of predetermined operations performed by the player game medium in the game” by “a predetermined coefficient”. When the player points reach the “predetermined number” in accordance with the progress of the game, it is set so that a skill effect described later can be generated. When the skill effect set to be able to be generated by the player is generated, “the number of predetermined operations performed by the player game medium in the game” is set to “0”. That is, when the player game medium next performs a predetermined operation, the “number of predetermined operations performed by the player game medium in the game” is “1”.

  The above-mentioned predetermined coefficient may be a value that changes according to the progress of the game. For example, the predetermined coefficient may be set larger as the enemy parameter of the enemy game medium described later is larger than the player parameter. As a result, the change rate of the player points can be set to be greater as the player becomes more disadvantageous in the progress of the game, so that the game device assists the player in capturing the game, and the player stops the continuation of the game play. Can be prevented.

  In addition, when the player game medium generates a specific effect, the predetermined coefficient may be adjusted within the possible generation period. For example, when the player game medium generates a specific effect, the predetermined coefficient may be reduced within the possible period. In this case, it is possible to prevent the player game medium from becoming too advantageous for the progress of the game with respect to the enemy game medium. For example, when the player game medium produces a specific effect, the predetermined coefficient may be increased within the possible period. In this case, the game device sets the player game medium more advantageously than the enemy game medium in the progress of the game, and makes it possible to improve the player's willingness to continue the game.

  The operation game medium image 504 is a type of object image that can be operated by the player, and moves in a predetermined movable area in accordance with predetermined input information input by the player in response to the operation of the operation unit 23. The display is controlled. In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the display of the operation game medium image 504 is movably controlled in a predetermined rectangular area whose longitudinal direction is the vertical direction of the screen.

  The moving game element image 505a is a type of object image whose display is controlled to automatically move in a predetermined direction. In the example shown in FIG. 5A, display control is performed such that the plurality of moving game element images 505a move from the right hand to the left hand.

  If it is determined that the moving game element image 505a that automatically moves in the predetermined direction falls within the predetermined range around the operation game medium image 504, the display of the moving game element image 505a ends. In this case, the operation result point corresponding to the mobile game element image 505a whose display has been completed is associated with the player game medium corresponding to the mobile game element image 505a.

  The “player game medium corresponding to the moving game element image 505a” is, for example, a player game medium associated with the same attribute as the moving game element image 505a. In this case, an operation result point corresponding to the displayed mobile game element image 505a is associated with the player game medium associated with the same attribute as the attribute associated with the displayed mobile game element image 505a. .

  The representative player game medium image 506a is an image corresponding to any of the player game contents. The player parameter gauge image 506b is an image showing a gauge having a length corresponding to the player parameter. In the example shown in FIG. 5A, the player parameter gauge image 506b is an image showing a gauge having a length corresponding to the total value of HP of each player game medium. For example, if the maximum value of the maximum HP of each player game medium corresponds to the maximum length of the gauge, an image indicating a gauge having a length corresponding to the current total value of the HP of each player game medium is displayed. You. When there is one player game medium, the player parameter gauge image 506b is an image indicating a gauge having a length corresponding to the HP of the one player game medium.

  When the skill effect associated with the player game medium is an effect of increasing the HP, and the skill effect occurs, a predetermined coefficient (for example, 1.2) is added to the total value of the current HP of each player game medium. An image showing a gauge having a length corresponding to the multiplied value is displayed. In this case, the length corresponding to the total value of the HP of each player game medium after replacing the value obtained by multiplying the current HP of at least one player game medium by a predetermined coefficient (for example, 1.2) with the current HP May be displayed.

  The enemy game medium image 507a is an image showing an enemy game medium that the player fights. The enemy parameter gauge image 507b is an image showing a gauge having a length corresponding to the enemy parameter of the enemy game medium. The enemy parameter is, for example, the HP of the enemy game medium.

  Thus, the player can participate in a battle game realized by the game application program. In this battle game, when the HP of the enemy game medium reaches a predetermined value (for example, HP = “0”), it is determined that the player has won the enemy game medium. When the total value of the HP of the player game contents reaches a predetermined value (for example, HP = “0”), it is determined that the player has lost the enemy game medium.

  The game in which the player participates is not limited to the battle game, and may be, for example, a quest that proceeds according to a game scenario. A quest is generally called a search, a mission, or the like, and is a part of a game executed by a game application program. For example, each of a plurality of dungeons has a plurality of floors (stages), and the processing of each floor is sequentially executed. The processing of each floor includes a battle game between player characters, a game for giving a privilege such as a specific game content to the player, and the like. By executing the quest, the player can grow the player character (for example, increase the level of the player character), acquire a game medium such as an item, and the like.

Can be generated. Therefore, with the game device of the present embodiment, a plurality of effects that affect the game can be generated without performing complicated operations by the player, and various game developments can be realized.

(Modification 1)
Note that the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment. For example, the effect control unit 256 may repeatedly generate a specific effect within the possible generation period.

  For example, if the effect possible condition is satisfied again within the possible period A and the effect associated with the player game medium corresponding to the player game medium image selected by the player is a specific effect, the effect control is performed. The unit 256 generates a passive effect again in the game. The start time of the possible period B of the passive effect that occurs again within the possible period A is the time at which the passive effect occurs again in the game. As a result, the player can extend the possible generation period, increase the player's game strategy options, and improve the player's willingness to continue the game.

  The start time of the possible period B may be the end time of the possible period A. In this case, if the second, third,... Passive effects occur during the possible period, the possible period is extended to twice, triple,. As a result, the player can increase the possible generation period in accordance with the number of occurrences, can increase the options of the game strategy of the player, and improve the player's willingness to continue the game.

  When a specific effect occurs repeatedly within the possible period A, a player item image 508 corresponding to the specific effect that occurs repeatedly is displayed instead of the currently displayed player item image 508. Further, in this case, the player item image 508 corresponding to the specific effect that has been duplicated may be displayed together with the currently displayed player item image 508.

(Modification 2)
When a specific effect occurs repeatedly within the possible generation period A, a player item corresponding to the currently displayed player item image 508 and a player item image 508 corresponding to the specific effect generated repeatedly are corresponded. May be combined with each other to generate a new combined item.

  In this case, the terminal storage unit 22 stores information on a combined item associated with a combination of information on at least two items. The information on the composite item is, for example, identification information for identifying the composite item. The information on the composite item may include information indicating the name of the composite item, image information indicating the composite item, type of the composite item, or information indicating parameters such as level or attribute.

  The terminal storage unit 22 may store a plurality of combinations of information on at least two items. In this case, the terminal storage unit 22 may store information on different combined items in association with each of the plurality of combinations.

  Even if the combination of the information on at least two items is the same, if the player game media related to each item included in the same combination is different, information on different combined items may be stored for each combination. For example, the specific effect corresponding to the previously generated item possible period A is an effect associated with the player game medium W, and the specific effect corresponding to the item generated possible period B that has been duplicated is determined by the player. When the effect is associated with the game medium X, the synthetic item M is generated, and the specific effect corresponding to the previously generated item possible period A is the effect associated with the player game medium Y, and is duplicated. When the specific effect corresponding to the possible generation period B of the generated item is an effect associated with the player game medium Z, a composite item N different from the composite item M is generated.

  Even when the combination of information on at least two items is the same, when the order of occurrence of each item included in the same combination is different, information on a different combined item may be stored for each combination. For example, the player item image 508 displayed by the specific effect corresponding to the possible period A is an image showing the player item W, and the player item image 508 displayed by the specific effect corresponding to the possible period B of the item. Is an image indicating the player item X, a combined item M is generated, and the player item image 508 displayed by the specific effect corresponding to the possible period A is an image indicating the player item X, and the item can be generated. When the player item image 508 displayed by the specific effect corresponding to the period B is an image indicating the player item W, a composite item N different from the composite item M is generated.

  As described above, even if the combination of information on at least two items is the same, if the player game medium related to each item included in the same combination or the order of occurrence of each item included in the same combination is different, different Information about the composite item is stored. As a result, it is possible to increase the options of the game strategy of the player, and it is possible to improve the player's willingness to continue the game. Hereinafter, an example of the process of generating a composite item will be described.

  The progress control unit 254 determines whether or not the current time is within the possible period A. When determining that the current time is within the possible period A, the progress control unit 254 identifies the item ID of the player item A corresponding to the displayed player item image 508.

  If the determination unit 255 determines that the current time is within the possible period A and that the player game medium image satisfying the effect possible condition is selected by the player, the determination unit 255 corresponds to the selected player game medium image. It is determined whether or not the effect associated with the player game medium to be performed is a specific effect.

  When determining that the effect associated with the player game medium corresponding to the selected player game medium image is a specific effect, the progress control unit 254 specifies the item ID of the player item B corresponding to the specific effect. I do. The determining unit 255 determines whether or not the information regarding the combined item associated with the combination of the specified item IDs of the player item A and the player item B is stored in the terminal storage unit 22. When the determining unit 255 determines that information on the combined item associated with the combination of the item IDs of the player item A and the player item B is stored, the display processing unit 251 performs, based on the information on the combined item, A composite item image corresponding to the composite item is displayed on the game progress screen 500 as a new player item image 508. In this case, the display processing unit 251 ends the display of the player item image 508 of the player item A.

  Thereby, when a specific effect occurs repeatedly within the possible period A, a new player item (composite item) based on a combination of a plurality of player items corresponding to a plurality of specific effects that are occurring can be used. Becomes As a result, it is possible to increase the options of the game strategy of the player, and it is possible to improve the player's willingness to continue the game.

(Modification 3)
In addition, the item effect associated with the player item image 508 displayed when the player item image 508 displayed when a specific effect occurs is selected by the player is an effect related to relaxation of a predetermined condition regarding the progress of the game. May be.

  For example, the item effect is an effect of reducing a predetermined maximum point in the operable condition. The item effect may be an effect of reducing a predetermined number of times in the operable condition. The item effect may be an effect of decreasing or increasing a predetermined value regarding a parameter in the operable condition. The item effect may be an effect of increasing a predetermined point in the condition in which the effect can be generated. The item effect may be an effect of reducing a predetermined number of times in the condition in which the effect can be generated. The item effect may be an effect of decreasing or increasing a predetermined value for a parameter.

  The item effect may be an effect of extending a validity period of the skill effect when a skill effect associated with the player game medium occurs. The item effect may be an effect of extending the effective period of the passive effect. The item effect may be an effect of extending the possible period.

(Modification 4)
The item effect may be generated in the game in response to a player's generation instruction. Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of a process of generating an item effect according to a player's generation instruction will be described.

  For example, a player item image for setting an item corresponding to an item effect that can be generated in the game is displayed on the registration screen 410. When a candidate for an item that can be used in the game is set by a player, an item image indicating a designated item candidate is displayed as a player item image indicating a candidate item. Hereinafter, a player item candidate that can be used by the player in the game may be referred to as a candidate item. A specific item effect is associated with the item corresponding to the player item image. When a candidate for an item usable in the game is not specified by the player, an image or a text indicating that an item usable in the game has not been specified is displayed as a player item image.

  When the player performs an operation of selecting a player item image in the registration screen 410, an item selection screen display instruction is input to the mobile terminal 2. When a player inputs an item selection screen display instruction to the mobile terminal 2, an item selection screen (not shown) is displayed on the display unit 24. The item selection screen includes an item image indicating an item associated with the player. When the player performs an operation of selecting an item image included in the item selection screen, the display of the item selection screen ends, and the selected item image is replaced with a new player image in place of the player item image in the registration screen 410. It is displayed on the registration screen 410 as an item image. Thereby, the candidate items are exchanged.

  An operation in which a player performs an operation of selecting a player item image indicating an image or text indicating that an item usable in the game has not been designated yet, and an operation in which the player selects an item image included in an item selection screen Is performed, the selected item image is displayed as the player item image. Thereby, a candidate item is newly set.

  When a candidate item is exchanged or newly set, a registration instruction input by the player performing an operation of selecting a registration instruction button 413 in the registration screen 410 includes a candidate item corresponding to the player item image. Is included. In this case, the registration process includes a process in which the replaced or newly set candidate item is registered as a player item of the player.

  The player item image is an item image indicating a registered player item. The player item image can be selected by the player. When a player item image is selected by the player during the progress of the game, an item effect associated with the player item corresponding to the player item image occurs in the game, and the display of the player item image ends. The display of the player item image may be continued when the player item image is selected by the player.

(Modification 5)
In the in-period processing shown in FIG. 19, the item effect associated with the player item image 508 can be generated only once, but the item effect may be generated a plurality of times. For example, in the in-period processing illustrated in FIG. 19, after the processing in step S702, the determination unit 255 determines whether the number of occurrences of the item effect within the possible generation period has exceeded a predetermined number. When the determining unit 255 determines that the number of occurrences of the item effect within the possible period does not exceed the predetermined number, the process returns to step S701, and determines that the number of occurrences of the item effect within the possible period exceeds the predetermined number. If it is determined, the in-period processing ends.

  This allows the player to generate an item effect up to a predetermined number of times during the possible generation period, increase the player's game strategy options, and improve the player's willingness to continue the game.

  Further, for example, in the in-period processing illustrated in FIG. 19, after the processing in step S702, the determination unit 255 may determine whether the possible generation period has elapsed. If the determining unit 255 determines that the possible period has not elapsed, the process returns to step S701. If it determines that the possible period has elapsed, the in-period process ends.

  As a result, the player can generate an item effect any number of times during the possible period, increase the options of the game strategy of the player, and improve the player's willingness to continue the game.

(Modification 6)
Further, the game system 1 may be configured to include only a plurality of mobile terminals 2 operated by each of the plurality of players. Each of the plurality of mobile terminals 2 performs wireless communication with another mobile terminal 2 by a predetermined communication method, and an ad hoc network is configured by the plurality of mobile terminals 2. In this case, a specific mobile terminal 2 among the plurality of mobile terminals 2 functions as a host, and executes each function of the server 3 described above. The above-described game is executed by the mobile terminals 2 other than the specific mobile terminal 2 among the plurality of mobile terminals 2 communicating with the specific mobile terminal 2 that executes each function of the server 3. The specific mobile terminal 2 functioning as a host executes both functions of the server 3 and each function of the mobile terminal 2. The predetermined communication scheme is, for example, a wireless communication scheme of the IEEE 802.11 standard.

(Modification 7)
Further, part of the function of the terminal processing unit 25 of the mobile terminal 2 may be realized by the server processing unit 33 of the server 3. The server processing unit 33 may execute the game progress processing, and the display processing unit 251 of the mobile terminal 2 may display the result of the game progress processing transmitted from the server 3 on the display unit 24.
