[Outline of the present embodiment]
In the present embodiment, a breeding game for changing parameters of a character to be bred (hereinafter, referred to as a “breeding target character”) is executed. Further, in the present embodiment, in executing the training game, the player is caused to select a game medium (hereinafter, referred to as a “card”) to which a character attribute is assigned, and a medium group including the selected card (hereinafter, referred to as a “card”). , "Deck").

  Then, in the present embodiment, at a predetermined timing in the training game, whether or not to generate an event is determined by lottery (hereinafter, referred to as “event occurrence lottery”). Further, in the present embodiment, when the occurrence of an event is determined by the event occurrence lottery, the content of the event to be generated is further determined by lottery (hereinafter, referred to as “event content lottery”).

In this case, in the present embodiment, the occurrence probabilities of various events are changed based on what kind of cards are included in the deck in the event content lottery. For example, the probability of occurrence of an event corresponding to a character attribute given to a card included in a deck and the probability of occurrence of an event corresponding to this card are higher than the probability of occurrence when the deck does not include this card. Let it.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the event occurrence probability is further changed according to the number of cards included in the deck. For example, when the same card is included in a plurality of decks, the event occurrence probability is increased as compared with the case where the deck includes only one card. Further, as the number of included images increases, the event occurrence probability is further increased.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the combination contents in the deck not only affect a general event such as a parameter change amount, but also affect an event of occurrence of an event in the training game.
Therefore, there is room for the player to make various efforts to generate a desired event. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the training game for the player.
In addition, it is significant for the player to possess various cards in order to generate a desired deck. In addition, even if the same card is used, it is meaningful to have a plurality of cards in duplicate.
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player motivation to possess more cards.

[Overall system configuration]

  The RAM 13 also stores data and the like necessary for the CPU 11 to execute various processes.

  The CPU 11, the ROM 12, and the RAM 13 are mutually connected via a bus 14. An input / output interface 15 is also connected to the bus 14. The input / output interface 15 is connected to an input unit 16, an output unit 17, a storage unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20.

  The input unit 16 includes various buttons, a touch panel, a microphone, and the like, and inputs various information in accordance with an instruction operation by an administrator or the like of the server 1. Note that the input unit 16 may be realized by an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, which is independent of a main body that accommodates other units of the server 1.

  The output unit 17 outputs image data and music data to a display, a speaker, and the like. The image data and music data output from the output unit 17 are output from a display, a speaker, and the like so that the player can recognize the images and music as images and music.

  The storage unit 18 is configured by a semiconductor memory such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) and stores various data.

  The communication unit 19 realizes communication performed with another device. For example, the communication unit 19 communicates with the player terminal 2 via the network 5.

  The drive 20 is appropriately provided as needed. A removable medium 100 made of a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a semiconductor memory, or the like is appropriately mounted on the drive 20. The removable medium 100 stores a program for executing a game and various data such as image data. Programs read from the removable medium 100 by the drive 20 and various data such as image data are installed in the storage unit 18 as needed.

Next, the hardware configuration of the player terminal 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the player terminal 2 includes a CPU 21, a ROM 22, a RAM 23, a bus 24, an input / output interface 25, an input unit 26, an output unit 27, a storage unit 28, a communication unit 29, , A drive 30. These units have the same functions as the units of the same name provided in the server 1 described above and differing only in the code. Therefore, duplicate description will be omitted.

[Functional configuration]
Next, a functional configuration of the server 1 and a functional configuration of the player terminal 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram illustrating a functional configuration for executing an event management process among the functional configurations of the server 1 and the functional configuration of the player terminal 2 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
Here, the event management process is a series of processes for managing the occurrence of an event based on the contents of the cards included in the deck when the training game is executed.

First, a functional configuration of the player terminal 2 will be described.
When the event management process is executed, the game operation execution unit 211 and the player selection notification unit 212 function in the CPU 21 as shown in FIG. These functional blocks send and receive information to and from each other as necessary.
In one area of the storage unit 28, a game operation data storage unit 281 is set.

  The game operation execution unit 211 executes a process for operating a game. The game operation execution unit 211 includes a game software included in a game operation data storage unit 281 described below, a game operation content of the player input from the input unit 26, a control instruction from the game operation control unit 111 described later, , Operate the game based on.

  In addition, the game operation execution unit 211 generates an image for a game from image data included in a game operation data storage unit 281 described later with the operation of the game, and outputs the generated image to a display connected to the output unit 17. The control process for displaying on the display is performed. Similarly, the game operation execution unit 211 generates game music and voice from music data and voice data included in a game operation data storage unit 281 described later, and generates the generated music and voice in accordance with the operation of the game. Is output from a speaker connected to the output unit 17.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the server 1 manages predetermined parameters in the game operated by the game operation execution unit 211. For example, information on which character the player possesses, parameters of the character possessed by the player, information on which card the player possesses, past game results, possession of in-game currency in the game Parameters corresponding to the amount and the like are managed by the server 1.

  Therefore, in the game, the game operation execution unit 211 generates a process involving a change in these predetermined parameters (for example, a process involving an increase or decrease of a parameter value or a process for changing a flag indicating a parameter state). In such a case, by communicating with the server 1, the parameters managed by the server 1 are updated. Then, the game operation execution unit 211 receives the updated parameters from the server 1, and continues the operation of the game according to the updated parameters.

  For example, in breeding a character in a breeding game or in a lottery for a player to acquire a character or a card, a change in a predetermined parameter is accompanied. For this reason, the game operation execution unit 211 updates the parameters by communicating with the server 1 when a character is bred in a breeding game or when a lottery or the like for a player to acquire a character or a card occurs. Let it.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the game operation execution unit 211 operates a training game for changing a parameter of a character as a game. More specifically, it is assumed that the character is viewed as a racehorse, and a training game for improving the character's ability for racing is operated.

  However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the game operation execution unit 211 may operate a game other than the training game. For example, a game in which a character raised in a breeding game competes with another character or a game in which a character cooperates with another character to achieve a predetermined purpose may be operated. For example, a game in which a character raised as a racehorse races with another character may be operated. In this case, the other character may be an NPC (Non Player Character). Further, a character possessed by another player using another player terminal 2 may be used. That is, it may be a so-called multi-play game.

  The player selection notifying unit 212 notifies the server 1 of the player's selection. The player selection notifying unit 212 performs, for example, an operation by the player input from the input unit 26 to select a breeding target character in the breeding game, select a card for generating a deck, and select a command to be executed in the breeding game. Accepted based on. Then, the player selection notifying unit 212 notifies the selection contents of the player by transmitting the received selection contents of the player to the server 1.

  Communication with the server 1 by the game operation execution unit 211 and the player selection notification unit 212 is performed using the communication unit 29. As described above with reference to FIG. 1, a network 5 for realizing communication exists between the player terminal 2 and the server 1, but illustration of the network 5 is omitted in FIG.

  The game operation data storage unit 281 stores various data necessary for the game operation execution unit 211 to operate a game (here, a training game). The various data for operating the game are, for example, game software that is a program for executing the game, image data, music data, and audio data for generating images and sounds for the game. In the case where at least a part of a character or a background is displayed in three-dimensional computer graphics in a game, polygon data for realizing display in three-dimensional computer graphics is stored in the game operation data storage unit 281. And texture data are also stored.

Note that these various data for operating the game may be stored only in the game operation data storage unit 281 of the storage unit 28, or may be appropriately read from the removable medium 100 by the drive 20. .
In addition, these various types of data may be appropriately transmitted from the device such as the server 1 or another server (not shown) to the player terminal 2 by communication via the communication unit 29. That is, these various data may be downloaded as needed when installing the game or when upgrading the game.

Next, a functional configuration of the server 1 will be described.
When the event management process is performed, as shown in FIG. 3, in the CPU 11, a game operation control unit 111, a deck generation unit 112, a training game control unit 113, and an event lottery unit 114 function. These functional blocks send and receive information to and from each other as necessary.
In one area of the storage unit 18, a terminal management data storage unit 181 is set.

  The game operation control unit 111 controls execution of processing for operating the game performed by the game operation execution unit 211. The game operation control unit 111 outputs the selection contents of the player notified from the player selection notification unit 212 to a deck generation unit 112, a training game control unit 113, and an event lottery unit 114 described later. In addition, the game operation control unit 111 obtains a result of a process relating to a training game, which is performed by a deck generation unit 112, a training game control unit 113, and an event lottery unit 114, which will be described later, based on the player's selection. Then, the game operation control unit 111 transmits a control instruction based on the obtained processing result to the game operation execution unit 211 via the communication unit 29.

This control instruction includes, for example, a change in a parameter based on a training result in the training game, the presence / absence of an event, and the content of the event to occur. The game operation execution unit 211 generates an image or a sound corresponding to the progress of the training game based on the control instruction, and outputs the generated image or sound from the output unit 27.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the operation of the training game can be realized by the cooperation of the player terminal 2 and the server 1.

Here, the event that occurs in the training game is one of the effects in the training game. For example, an event means that communication such as conversation between characters is performed by an image (still image or moving image) of a character to be raised or a character corresponding to the event, and a text or sound (music or voice) corresponding to the character. This is the effect that is displayed. A change value for a breeding point to be given to the breeding target character is set in the event, and when the event occurs, the breeding point of the breeding target character changes based on the change value.
Specific display examples and upbringing points in the event will be described in detail in the section “Display example in upbringing game” described later.

  The deck generation unit 112 generates a deck when executing the training game. The deck generation unit 112 generates a deck based on the player's selection of a card obtained via the game operation control unit 111. The deck can contain a predetermined number of cards. For example, if the predetermined number is 4, up to four cards can be included in the deck. In this case, the player selects one to four cards from his or her possession. Then, the deck generation unit 112 generates a deck from the selected one to four cards.

The deck may further include a card possessed by another player. For example, in addition to the four cards possessed by the player, one deck possessed by another player may be included in the deck. In this case, for example, in-game currency may be given to the other players as a price for using the card.
Further, since the cards included in the deck correspond to the characters that support the breeding target character, cards to which the character attribute of the breeding target character is added may not be included in the deck.

When the deck generation unit 112 generates the deck, for example, identification information for identifying a card included in the deck is used as information indicating the content of the generated deck, for example, in a rearing game control unit 113, an event lottery unit 114, and the like. Output to
Note that the deck may be generated each time the training game is executed, or the deck created once may be selected when the training game is executed, instead of being created each time.

  The training game control unit 113 performs processing related to the training game. For example, the breeding game control unit 113 performs processing such as selection of a breeding target character of the player acquired from the game operation control unit 111 and update of parameters of the breeding target character based on the content of the selection of a command in the breeding game. . In addition, the breeding game control unit 113 performs processing such as updating the parameters of the breeding target character in accordance with the content of the event generated based on the lottery result by the event lottery unit 114 described later.

  Further, in the training game, the training game control unit 113 also performs a process (hereinafter, referred to as an “acquisition process”) for the player to acquire a training target character or a card. For example, the training game control unit 113 determines the consumption amount of the in-game currency to be consumed in the acquisition processing based on the player's selection acquired from the game operation control unit 111. Then, the training game control unit 113 performs the acquisition process (for example, lottery or purchase) by consuming the in-game currency by the determined consumption amount. This acquisition process is performed based on a predetermined rule. For example, it is performed based on a processing result of an arithmetic processing based on a predetermined function. Then, the breeding game control unit 113 gives the breeding target character or card to the player based on the result of the acquisition processing. As described above, in the present embodiment, the deck can include a plurality of the same cards, and thus the same player may have the same card.

  The in-game currency can be increased, for example, by payment of a consideration by the player. In this case, the payment of the consideration by the player is realized by cash settlement using a credit card or settlement using electronic money. In addition to this, other methods may be used to increase the in-game currency. For example, the number may be increased by communication between the players in the training game, or by achieving a predetermined event in the training game.

Then, the training game control unit 113 updates information stored in a terminal management data storage unit 181 described later based on the processing results.
In the present embodiment, since at least a part of the processing related to the training game is performed by the server, the processing in the player terminal 2 can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to prevent falsification of processing related to the training game at the player terminal 2.

The event lottery unit 114 performs the above-described event occurrence lottery and event content lottery.
The event occurrence lottery is executed at a first predetermined timing in the training game. For example, it is assumed that a practice game is performed a plurality of times in one turn. In this case, at the start of one turn, after each of a plurality of exercises, and at the end of one turn, each can be set as the first predetermined timing. Here, the event occurrence probability in the event occurrence lottery may be arbitrarily set in consideration of the content of the training game and the like. For example, it may be set that an event occurs with a probability of 35%.
If it is determined in the event occurrence lottery that an event will occur, the event lottery unit 114 performs an event content lottery to determine the content of the event to occur.

Here, as described above, the event lottery unit 114 varies the occurrence probabilities of various events based on what cards are included in the deck in the event content lottery. For example, the probability of occurrence of an event corresponding to a character attribute given to a card included in a deck and the probability of occurrence of an event corresponding to this card are higher than the probability of occurrence when the deck does not include this card. Let it.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the event occurrence probability is further changed according to the number of cards included in the deck. For example, when the same card is included in a plurality of decks, the event occurrence probability is increased as compared with the case where the deck includes only one card. Further, as the number of included images increases, the event occurrence probability is further increased.

  Here, as a premise of the description, the event lottery unit 114 performs two lotteries in the event content lottery. Specifically, first, the event lottery unit 114 performs a lottery (hereinafter, referred to as “first event content lottery”) for determining which character corresponds to the event to be generated. Next, the event lottery unit 114 performs a lottery for determining which event to generate from among a plurality of events corresponding to the character determined by the first event content lottery (hereinafter, “second event content”). This is referred to as “lottery”). Thereby, the event lottery unit 114 determines the content of the event to be generated.

First, in the first event content lottery, the event lottery unit 114 changes the occurrence probability of an event corresponding to the character attribute. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a change in the occurrence probability of an event corresponding to a character attribute.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), if the deck does not include any card to which the first character is given as a character attribute, the event occurrence probability corresponding to the first character is: Non-zero, but low probability. For example, it is 1% as illustrated in the figure.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the deck includes one card to which the first character is assigned as the character attribute, the probability of occurrence of the event corresponding to the first character is set. Has a higher probability than the case where none is included. For example, it is 10% as illustrated in the figure.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, when the deck includes four cards to which the first character is assigned as the character attribute, the probability of occurrence of the event corresponding to the first character is 1 The probability is higher than in the case where the number is included. For example, it is 40% as illustrated in the figure.

As described above, when the deck includes a plurality of cards to which the first character is given as the character attribute, the amount of increase in the event occurrence probability in the case of one card and the number of cards included in the deck Based on the number, the probability of occurrence of the event corresponding to the first character increases. For example, when one or more sheets are included, the probability is higher than a value obtained by multiplying the probability of the case where no one is included by the number of included sheets.
Therefore, for example, a player who wishes to generate an event corresponding to the first character devises to include as many cards with the first character as character attributes in the deck as much as possible. As described above, by changing the occurrence probability based on the cards included in the deck, the interest of the player can be further improved. In addition, it is possible to give the player motivation to possess more cards.

  Further, in the present embodiment, all events to which the character attribute has been assigned can occur regardless of whether or not the deck to which the card to which the character attribute has been assigned is included in the deck. That is, it is set in advance so that the occurrence probability is not 0% for all the events to which the character attribute is added.

  Specifically, a default value for calculating the occurrence probability of each event is defined as a positive value larger than 0 for each event. In this case, since the default value itself does not represent the probability, the sum of the default values of each event does not have to be 100.

  Then, as described above, based on the contents of the cards included in the deck, only the default value of the event corresponding to the predetermined character or the event corresponding to the predetermined card is raised, and then, based on the default value of each event. Then, the first event content lottery and the second event content lottery are performed.

  As described above, by defining the default value for calculating the probability of occurrence of each event as a positive value greater than 0 for each event, the character which has not yet obtained the card to which the character attribute is assigned is obtained. Can be generated, and an event can be generated for a character for which a card to which the character attribute has been added is not included in the deck. Thus, the player can be made interested in the character. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a goal of newly holding a card to which the character attribute of the character of interest is given or a goal of holding more cards. From this viewpoint, the interest of the player can be further improved.

  Next, in the second event content lottery, the occurrence probability of the event corresponding to the card is changed. Here, the event of the character corresponding to the character attribute given to the card is associated with the card. The associated event is a character event corresponding to the character attribute assigned to the card, and may be an event unique to the card. As a result, for the player, there is a significance of acquiring a card in order to generate a rare event that is a unique event. Therefore, by associating unique events, it is possible to give the player motivation to possess more cards.

Thus, when a card to which an event is determined to be generated by the first event content lottery includes a card to which a character attribute is assigned in the deck, the occurrence probability of the event corresponding to this card is changed.
For example, when it is determined that the event of the first character is generated by the first event content lottery, and a card provided with the character attribute of the first character is included in the deck, the card corresponding to this card is Increase the probability of occurrence of the event. When a plurality of identical cards are included in the deck, the number of cards included in the deck is determined based on the amount of increase in the event occurrence probability in the case of one card and the number of cards included in the deck. Increase the probability of event occurrence. For example, when one or more sheets are included, the probability is higher than a value obtained by multiplying the probability of not including any one by the number of included sheets.

  Therefore, the players who want to generate an event corresponding to the card are as many as possible in the deck, and try to include the same card. As described above, by changing the occurrence probability, the interest of the player can be further improved. In addition, it is possible to give the player motivation to possess more cards.

  As described above, in the first event content lottery and the second event content lottery, based on the content of the cards included in the deck, the occurrence probability of the event corresponding to the predetermined character and the probability corresponding to the predetermined card are determined. In order to increase the probability of occurrence of an event, it is necessary to reduce the probability of occurrence of another event.

  For example, in the first event content lottery, the total sum of the default values of the event corresponding to the character A is “3”, the total sum of the default values of the event corresponding to the character B is “80”, and the sum corresponding to the character C The sum of the default values of the event is “80”, the sum of the default values of the event corresponding to the character D is “120”, the sum of the default values of the event corresponding to the character E is “20”, and all It is assumed that the total sum of the default values of the event is 303. In this case, when the occurrence probability of the event corresponding to the character A is calculated as a percentage, it is approximately 1% as shown in the following <Formula 1>.

<Formula 1>
3 ÷ (3 + 80 + 80 + 120 + 20) × 100 [%] = 0.99 [%]

  On the other hand, for example, when the deck includes two cards to which the character attribute of the character A has been added, the total sum of the default values for calculating the probability of occurrence of the event corresponding to the character A is For example, "75". In this case, when the occurrence probability of the event corresponding to the character A is calculated as a percentage, it becomes 20 [%] as shown by the following <Formula 2>, and the occurrence probability of the event corresponding to the other character decreases. I do. For example, the occurrence probability of the event corresponding to the character B decreases from approximately 26 [%] to approximately 21 [%].

<Equation 2>
75 ÷ (75 + 80 + 80 + 120 + 20) × 100 [%] = 20 [%]

  Similarly, in the second event content lottery, a lottery is performed based on the default value of each event corresponding to the character determined in the first event content lottery.

  The event lottery unit 114 may calculate the probability of occurrence of each event as a percentage based on the ratio of the sum of the default values for each event. Then, the first event content lottery or the second event content lottery may be performed based on the occurrence probability of each event calculated as a percentage.

  In this manner, in the first event content lottery and the second event content lottery, based on the content of the cards included in the deck, the occurrence probability of the event corresponding to the predetermined character and the event probability of the event corresponding to the predetermined card are determined. It is possible to increase the probability of occurrence and reduce the probability of occurrence of another event.

  As an exception to the above-described calculation of the event occurrence probability, the event of the breeding target character may not be generated at all regardless of the contents of the cards included in the deck. This is because an event corresponding to a character supporting the breeding target character is preferable as an event generated in the event lottery. In this case, for the event of the breeding target character, the default value for calculating the event occurrence probability may be fixed to zero.

  Then, the event lottery unit 114 outputs the lottery result of each lottery performed at the first predetermined timing to the game operation control unit 111 and the training game control unit 113. The lottery result includes information indicating whether an event is determined to occur in the event occurrence lottery, and information indicating which event is determined to occur in the event content lottery when the event is determined to occur. Is included.

  When the determination is made that an event will occur in the lottery result output from the event lottery unit 114, the training game control unit 113 generates an event determined to occur at the second predetermined timing in the training game, and The character parameters are updated accordingly. Further, when the game operation control unit 111 determines that an event occurs in the lottery result output from the event lottery unit 114, the game operation control unit 111 generates the event determined to occur at the second predetermined timing in the training game, The game operation execution unit 211 is controlled.

  Here, the second predetermined timing, which is the timing for generating the event, may be a timing later than the first predetermined timing. For example, as described above, when each of the start of one turn, the execution of each of a plurality of exercises, and the end of one turn is the first predetermined timing, the same as the first predetermined timing At the start of one turn, after execution of each of a plurality of exercises, and at the end of one turn, some timing (for example, two) after the first predetermined timing. The timing may be the second predetermined timing.

  By setting the second predetermined timing after the first predetermined timing, the server 1 and the player terminal 2 can perform preprocessing for generating an event during that time. For example, processing such as pre-reading image or sound data for generating an event in a main storage device or the like can be performed. As a result, it is possible to smoothly generate an event without generating a waiting time for the player.

  The terminal management data storage unit 181 stores management data relating to the player terminal 2. The management data related to the player terminal 2 is a predetermined parameter in the game operated by the game operation execution unit 211, as described above in the description of the game operation execution unit 211. For example, information on which character the player possesses, parameters of the character possessed by the player, information on which card the player possesses, past game results, possession of in-game currency in the game Parameters corresponding to the amount and the like are stored as management data. When a plurality of player terminals 2 are connected to the server 1, the management data is managed for each player terminal 2 or each player based on the identification information of the player terminal 2, the identification information of the player, and the like. .

[Operation in event management processing]
The functional blocks of the player terminal 2 and the server 1 have been described above. Next, an operation in an event management process executed by the player terminal 2 and the server 1 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram illustrating the flow of the event management process.

  The event management process is executed, for example, when the player performs an operation requesting execution of a training game. Although the event management process is not particularly described below, it is assumed that the game operation execution unit 211 of the player terminal 2, the game operation control unit 111 of the server 1, the training game control unit 113, and the like are premised on the event management process. Each functional block appropriately performs arithmetic processing and communication necessary for executing the training game.

  In step S11, the player selection notifying unit 212 receives a selection of a card for generating a deck from the player. Further, in step S12, the player selection notifying unit 212 transmits the received player's selection (that is, the selection of a card for generating a deck) to the server 1, thereby notifying the player's selection. Do.

  In step S21, the deck generation unit 112 generates a deck based on the player's selection content notified in step S12 (that is, the selection of a card for generating a deck). Then, the deck generation unit 112 outputs the generated contents of the deck to the event lottery unit 114 and the like.

  In step S22, the event lottery unit 114 determines whether the first predetermined timing has arrived. If the first predetermined timing has not arrived, No is determined in step S22, and the determination in step S22 is repeated. On the other hand, if the first predetermined timing has come, it is determined as Yes in step S22, and the process proceeds to step S23.

In step S23, the event lottery unit 114 performs an event occurrence lottery.
In step S24, the event lottery unit 114 determines whether an event is determined to occur in the event occurrence lottery. If it is determined that an event will occur, the determination is Yes in step S24, and the process proceeds to step S25. On the other hand, when it is determined that the event does not occur, No is determined in step S24, and the process proceeds to step S26.

In step S25, the event lottery unit 114 determines which event will occur by performing the first event content lottery and the second event content lottery.
In step S26, the event lottery unit 114 notifies the game operation execution unit 211 of the player terminal 2 of the lottery results of the event occurrence lottery and the event content lottery via the game operation control unit 111. The lottery result includes information indicating whether an event is determined to occur in the event occurrence lottery, and information indicating which event is determined to occur in the event content lottery when the event is determined to occur. Is included.

  In step S27, the event lottery unit 114 determines whether the training game has ended. If the breeding game is not over, No is determined in the step S27, and the process is repeated from the step S22. On the other hand, if the training game has ended, it is determined as Yes in step S27, and this processing ends.

  In step S13, the game operation execution unit 211 determines whether there is an event that has been determined by the event lottery unit 114 to occur based on the lottery result and has not yet occurred. If there is no unoccurred event, it is determined as No in step S13, and the process proceeds to step S16. If there is an unoccurred event, it is determined as Yes in step S13, and the process proceeds to step S14.

  In step S14, the game operation execution section 211 determines whether or not the second predetermined timing has come. If the second predetermined timing has not arrived, No is determined in step S14, and the process proceeds to step S16. On the other hand, if the second predetermined timing has come, it is determined as Yes in step S14, and the process proceeds to step S15.

In step S15, the game operation execution unit 211 generates an event that has not yet occurred and should be generated at the second predetermined timing.
In step S16, the game operation execution unit 211 determines whether or not the training game has ended. If the breeding game has not ended, it is determined as No in step S16, and the process is repeated from step S13. On the other hand, if the training game has ended, it is determined as Yes in step S16, and the process ends.

The event management process is executed by the cooperation between the player terminal 2 and the server 1 described above.
In this case, in the present embodiment, as described above, the occurrence probabilities of various events are changed based on what kind of cards are included in the deck in the event content lottery.

Therefore, there is room for the player to make various efforts to generate a desired event. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to further enhance the interest of the training game for the player.
In addition, it is significant for the player to possess various cards in order to generate a desired deck. In addition, even if the same card is used, it is meaningful to have a plurality of cards in duplicate.
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to give the player motivation to possess more cards.

Further, as shown as a display 62, an image of a character corresponding to a character attribute given to a card included in the deck is displayed. The player can execute the breeding game together with the favorite character selected by the player when the deck is created.
Furthermore, as shown in the display 63, parameters that are targets to be bred in the breeding game of the breeding target character, for example, parameters relating to the race of the character such as speed, stamina, power, guts, and wisdom are displayed. You. Further, as shown as a display 61, a physical strength of the breeding target character and a bond value indicating a degree of a bond between the breeding target character and the player are displayed. The physical strength of the character decreases as the training target character performs training, and recovers as the training target character takes a break. The bond value will be described in detail in the section below, <Second Modification>.

  Further, as shown as a display 64, a button for selecting a command in the training is displayed. In the training game, a predetermined number of turns is set. By pressing these buttons, the player selects commands such as going out, resting, and training for each turn. In accordance with the selected command, breeding points for breeding the breeding target character are provided or skills are provided. Note that the training points to be provided and the skills to be provided may be different depending on the cards included in the deck. The parameters of the breeding target character are raised by distributing the provided breeding points to the parameters of the breeding target character by a command of growth.

  For example, when the button corresponding to the outing command is pressed, the breeding target character goes out. Along with this, the physical strength parameter is randomly recovered or the motivation parameter is recovered. When the button corresponding to the training command is pressed, the breeding target character performs training by consuming physical strength parameters. As a result, the breeding target character can obtain breeding points. The obtained breeding points fluctuate based on the motivation parameters. When the button corresponding to the break command is pressed, the breeding target character takes a break. As a result, the breeding target character recovers physical strength. If a training command is selected in a state where the physical strength is low, the training points may decrease.

Further, as shown as a display 73, a text corresponding to a conversation exchanged between the characters is displayed. According to this display example, communication such as conversation between characters is produced. By appreciating the communication between the character to be raised and the character corresponding to the event in this way, the player can deepen their feelings for each character.
Also, as described above, a change value for the breeding point to be given to the breeding target character is set in the event, and when the event occurs, the breeding point of the breeding target character changes based on this change value. . That is, the player can acquire training points with the occurrence of the event.

  FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram showing a display example when acquiring breeding points in an event that has occurred in a breeding game operated in this event management process. For example, the display example in FIG. After the communication is produced, it is displayed by transition.

In this display example, a display 51 and a display 72 are displayed as in FIG. Further, a display 61 and a display 65 are displayed as in FIG. As indicated by the display 65, the breeding points of the breeding target character increase with the occurrence of the event.
Although FIG. 14 shows only the increase in the breeding points, other changes may occur with the occurrence of the event. For example, the parameters of the breeding target character and the friendship value with the character corresponding to the event may be changed based on the change rate accompanying the occurrence of the event. Further, a predetermined skill may be associated with the event, and when the event occurs, the skill may be given to the breeding target character. Furthermore, options are associated with the event, and when the event occurs, the options are displayed at a predetermined timing, and the conversation content, the training points that can be acquired, and the like may be changed based on the player's selection.

In one area of the storage unit 28, a terminal management data storage unit 381 and a game operation data storage unit 382 are set.

  Each of these functional blocks has the same function as each of the functional blocks of the same name provided in the server 1 and the player terminal 2 described above, the only difference being the reference sign. Therefore, duplicate description will be omitted. However, the difference is that, in the present modification, there is no need to perform notification between the devices, and therefore, the modification does not have a functional block corresponding to the player selection notification unit 212.

[Operation in event management processing]
The functional blocks of the information processing device 3 have been described above. Next, an operation in the event management process executed by the information processing device 3 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 16 is a sequence diagram illustrating the flow of the event management process in the present modification.
The event management process is executed, for example, when the player performs an operation requesting execution of a training game. Although the event management process is not particularly described below, as a premise of the event management process, the functional blocks of the game operation control unit 311, the breeding game control unit 313, the game operation execution unit 315, etc. Arithmetic processing and communication necessary for executing the game are performed as appropriate.

In step S31 (corresponding to step S11 in FIG. 5), the game operation control unit 311 receives a selection of a card for generating a deck from the player.
In step S32 (corresponding to step S21 in FIG. 5), the deck generation unit 312 generates a deck based on the player's selection notified in step S31 (that is, the selection of a card for generating a deck). I do. Then, the deck generation unit 312 outputs the generated contents of the deck to the event lottery unit 314 and the like.

  In step S33 (corresponding to step S22 in FIG. 5), the event lottery unit 314 determines whether the first predetermined timing has arrived. If the first predetermined timing has not arrived, No is determined in step S33, and the process proceeds to step S37. On the other hand, when the first predetermined timing has come, it is determined as Yes in step S33, and the process proceeds to step S34.

In step S34 (corresponding to step S23 in FIG. 5), the event lottery unit 314 performs an event occurrence lottery.
In step S35 (corresponding to step S24 in FIG. 5), the event lottery unit 314 determines whether an event is determined to occur in the event occurrence lottery. If it is determined that an event will occur, the determination is Yes in step S35, and the process proceeds to step S36. On the other hand, when it is determined that the event does not occur, No is determined in step S35, and the process proceeds to step S37.

  In step S36 (corresponding to step S25 in FIG. 5), the event lottery unit 314 determines which event occurs by performing the first event content lottery and the second event content lottery.

  In step S37 (corresponding to step S13 in FIG. 5), the game operation execution unit 315 determines whether there is an event that has been determined by the event lottery unit 314 to occur based on the lottery result and has not yet occurred. Is determined. If there is no event that has not occurred, it is determined as No in step S37, and the process proceeds to step S40. If there is an unoccurred event, it is determined as Yes in step S37, and the process proceeds to step S38.

  In step S38 (corresponding to step S14 in FIG. 5), the game operation execution unit 315 determines whether or not the second predetermined timing has come. If the second predetermined timing has not arrived, No is determined in step S38, and the process proceeds to step S40. On the other hand, if the second predetermined timing has come, it is determined as Yes in step S38, and the process proceeds to step S39.

  In step S39 (corresponding to step S15 in FIG. 5), the game operation execution unit 315 generates an event that has not yet occurred and should occur at the second predetermined timing.

  In step S40 (corresponding to step S16 in FIG. 5), the game operation execution unit 315 determines whether or not the training game has ended. If the breeding game has not ended, it is determined as No in step S40, and the process is repeated from step S33. On the other hand, if the training game has ended, it is determined as Yes in step S40, and the process ends.

  By the operation described above, the event management process can be executed by the information processing device 3 alone. The effect of the event management process in the present modification is the same as the effect of the event management process in the above-described embodiment.

<Second Modification>
In the above-described embodiment, a description has been given of the fluctuation of the event occurrence probability based on the contents of the cards included in the deck. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and an event may occur or the change probability may change based on other factors.

  For example, an event associated with the breeding target character may occur. In this case, in the first event content lottery, a default value for calculating the event occurrence probability is also determined for the event corresponding to the breeding target character. Then, as described above with reference to <Equation 1> and <Equation 2>, the occurrence probability of each event may be calculated as a percentage based on the ratio of the default value of each event. Then, the first event content lottery and the second event content lottery may be performed based on the occurrence probability of each event calculated as a percentage.

  In this case, a plurality of types of events linked to the breeding target character may be prepared. For example, an event that occurs randomly with a constant probability irrespective of conditions, and a specific event that occurs with a constant probability on condition that the bond value described above with reference to FIG. Is also good. Here, the bond value may be made to be able to be raised by, for example, the occurrence of a predetermined event for raising the bond value or the request system. Here, the request system is a system that randomly specifies a command that the breeding target character desires to execute when selecting a command in the breeding game. When executing the request system, a lottery process is performed prior to displaying a command selection screen in the training game, and a command that the training target character desires to execute is determined from selectable commands. Then, on the command selection screen, a command is displayed so that the player can identify which command is the command that the breeding target character desires to execute. Then, when the player selects a command that the breeding target character desires to execute, the bond value increases.

Also, a plurality of types of character events corresponding to the card attributes may be prepared. For example, for a single character, an event that occurs randomly with a constant probability regardless of the condition, and a unique event that occurs with a constant probability on condition that the friendship value described above with reference to FIG. An event may be prepared.
As described above, the friendship value is a value indicating the degree of friendship between the breeding target character and another character. The friendship value is increased, for example, when the training target character and another character train jointly.
In this case, the other characters to be trained jointly with the breeding target character may be randomly selected from all the characters, or selected from the characters corresponding to the character attributes given to the cards included in the deck. You may do so. In this case, similarly to the event content lottery, the probability that a character corresponding to the character attribute given to the card included in the deck is selected may be made higher than the probability that another character is selected. . Also, similarly to the event content lottery, when the deck includes a plurality of cards to which the character attribute of the same character is given, the selection probability increase amount in the case of one card, The probability that this character is selected may be increased based on the number of cards included in the deck.

  As a result, for the player, in order to generate a rare event that occurs only when the friendship value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, it is meaningful to acquire more cards with the character attribute of the character. Occurs. Therefore, it is possible to give the player motivation to possess more cards.

In this case, a character for joint training may be selected based on the type of training.
For example, in the example of FIG. 11, the player has selected training for "turf", and two characters are associated with the training for turf. Here, when the player selects turf training, the two characters and the breeding target character perform training jointly. As a result, similarly to the normal training, not only the breeding points of the breeding target character increase, but also the friendship value between the breeding target character and the jointly trained character increases.
Further, the friendship value may be increased under other conditions besides such joint training. For example, the friendship value may be increased when a predetermined event occurs.

<Third Modification>
In the above-described embodiment, whether or not an event occurs is determined on the condition that the training game control unit 113 performs an event occurrence lottery. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be determined whether an event occurs based on other conditions. For example, whether or not an event occurs on condition that the parameters of the breeding target character have reached a predetermined value, that the player has performed a predetermined action input, and that the breeding game has reached a predetermined number of turns. May be determined.

<Fourth modification>
In the above-described embodiment, the deck is generated by using the card as the game medium. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a deck may be generated using a game medium other than a card. For example, a deck may be generated using a “character” possessed by a player or an “item (for example, an item equipped with or used by a character)” as a game medium. In this case, similarly to the card, a unique event corresponding to a character used as a game medium or an item may exist. Further, similarly to the card, a character attribute may be given to an item used as a game medium.
Further, in this case, as described above with reference to FIG. 8, a deck may be generated by using a character or an item possessed by another player as a game medium.

<Fifth Modification>
In the above-described embodiment, the event lottery unit 114 performs two lotteries in the event content lottery and determines the content of the event to be generated. Specifically, the event lottery unit 114 includes a first event content lottery for determining which character to generate an event corresponding to, and a plurality of events corresponding to the character determined by the first event content lottery. , A second event content lottery was performed to determine which event to generate. The present invention is not limited to this, and the event content lottery may be performed by another lottery method. For example, instead of determining the content of an event generated by two lotteries as in the above-described embodiment, the content of an event generated by one lottery may be determined.

When deciding the content of an event to be generated by one lottery in this way, the event lottery unit 114 manages data in a structure in which any character is linked to each event.
Even in this case, similarly to the above-described embodiment, all the events to which the character attribute has been assigned may occur regardless of whether the deck to which the character attribute is assigned is included in the deck. That is, it is set in advance so that the occurrence probability is not 0% for all the events to which the character attribute is added.

  Therefore, as in the above-described embodiment, a default value for calculating the occurrence probability of each event is defined as a positive value larger than 0 for each event. In this case, since the default value itself does not represent the probability, the sum of the default values of each event does not have to be 100.

  Then, in the event content lottery, similarly to the above-described embodiment, the event lottery unit 114 determines the occurrence probability of the event corresponding to the character attribute given to the card included in the deck and the event corresponding to the card included in the deck. Are raised, respectively.

  For example, in a case where data is managed in a structure in which a second character is linked to a first event, and a card having a character attribute of a second character included in the deck is assigned to the second character, The probability of occurrence of the first event associated with is raised. If the event corresponding to the card includes the card of the first event in the deck, the occurrence probability of the first event is increased. If both the "character attribute assigned to the card is the second character card" and the "event corresponding to the card is the first event card", the probability of occurrence of the first event is further increased. Will be.

Also, similarly to the above-described embodiment, when the deck includes a plurality of cards to which the character attribute of the same character is assigned, the amount of increase in the event occurrence probability in the case of one card. Based on the number of cards included in the deck, the probability of occurrence of an event corresponding to this character increases.
Further, similarly to the above-described embodiment, when the same card includes a plurality of cards, the amount of increase in the event occurrence probability in the case of one card and the number of cards included in the deck , The probability of occurrence of the event corresponding to this card is further increased.
The event lottery unit 114 determines the content of the event to be generated by one lottery after increasing the event occurrence probability based on the cards included in the deck in this way. As a result, the event content lottery can be realized by one lottery.
