A game program and data that can control the mobile terminal 100 are stored.

(Details of the fighting game)
In the present embodiment, based on predetermined conditions, a plurality of other users are classified into another user belonging to a “low-level user group” including a new user and another user belonging to a “other user group”. It can be classified as a user.

  The inventor of the present invention has noticed that there is a large difference between the low-level user group and the other user groups in the opportunity to be selected by the user (player), that is, the opportunity to be invited to the game, Even if other users belonging to the “low-level user group”, the user (player) is given a “specific motivation” (“the low-level user group”) so that the user (player) can easily obtain an opportunity to be selected. Incentive to select other users belonging to ").

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of users store information about the plurality of users in the first storage unit in advance in order to be able to play a competitive game.

  Here, the “plural users” include at least one “user (player)” and one or more “other users”. On the other hand, “a plurality of other users” includes two or more “other users”.

  Further, “information about a plurality of users” refers to information about at least one “user (player)” and one or more “other users”. For example, in addition to user identification information, (1) Specific parameter information possessed by the user, (2) information on the registration date on which the user has registered the player in the competitive game, and (3) information on the last login date on which the user has last logged in the competitive game. Can be

  In the present embodiment, other users constituting a plurality of other users can be classified into at least one user group among two or more user groups based on “predetermined conditions”.

  As the “predetermined conditions” in the present embodiment, (1) when a specific parameter value of another user is lower than a specific parameter value of the user by a predetermined value or more, (2) registration date of another user Is within a predetermined period from the current time, and (3) the last login date of another user is outside the predetermined period from the current time.

  The predetermined condition (1) is a condition classified as a “low-level user group”. Here, the “specific parameter value” is not particularly limited as long as it is a parameter value possessed by the user. For example, the level of the user (Lv) which is increased as the battle game is executed or held by the user The level (Lv) of a game medium (for example, an item such as a weapon), points (power points) obtained by executing a battle game, points (HP: hit points) decremented by an attack from an opponent, and the like. No.

  The “low-level user group” is composed of other users whose specific parameter values possessed by other users are lower than the parameter values of the user (player) and whose parameter values are separated by a predetermined value or more. The predetermined value is not particularly limited as long as it is a user group, and the predetermined value can be arbitrarily set in the game program. For example, when the level (Lv) of a user is adopted as a specific parameter value, the level value (Lv) of another user is lower than the level value (Lv) of the user (player), and both level values are lower. If another user who is separated by a predetermined value or more and the predetermined value is set to 30, if the level value (Lv) of the user (player) is 100, the level values of both users are separated by 30 (a predetermined value) or more. Other users whose level value is 70 or less can be classified as belonging to the low-level user group.

  Also, in the present embodiment, two low-level user groups are classified into a “low-level user group” satisfying the predetermined condition (1) and a “other user group” not satisfying the predetermined condition (1). Can be classified.

  The predetermined condition (2) is a condition classified into a “new user group”. The case where the registration date of another user is within a predetermined period from the present time means, for example, that the registration date of the user is within a predetermined period from the date when the user has registered the player of the competitive game (for example, one month from the registration date). ). The “within the predetermined period” can be arbitrarily set in the game program.

  The “new user” constituting the “new user group” is not particularly limited as long as it is a user within a predetermined period after another user has registered as a player, but “new user” satisfying the above predetermined condition (2) In some cases, it belongs to (is classified) at the same time as belonging to (users), and also belongs to (is classified) in another user group that also satisfies other predetermined conditions.

  Normally, a new user is a user who has been playing for a short period of time since registering a player. There are many. Therefore, the new user satisfies the predetermined condition (2) and also satisfies the predetermined condition (1), that is, belongs to the “new user group” and belongs to the “low-level user group”. There are many.

  However, even if a new user is a player, the date of the player registration is short, the playing experience is more than a certain level, the specific parameter values held are relatively high, and the parameter values of both are not separated by a predetermined value or more. It may be a user. For this reason, the new user satisfies the predetermined condition (2) and does not satisfy the predetermined condition (1), that is, belongs to the “new user group” and belongs to the “other user group”. May belong.

  The predetermined condition (3) is a condition classified as a “dormant user group”. The case where the last log-in date of another user is outside the predetermined period from the present time is, for example, the last log-in date of the user is outside the predetermined period from the last log-in date when the user last logged in to the competitive game (for example, 5 months or more have passed since the login date). The “out of the predetermined period” can be arbitrarily set in the game program.

  The “dormant user” constituting the “dormant user group” is not particularly limited as long as it is a user who is outside a predetermined period since another user last logged in, but “the dormant user” satisfies the predetermined condition (3). In some cases, it belongs to (is classified) at the same time as belonging to the "dormant user group" and also belongs to (is classified) in the "other user group" that satisfies other predetermined conditions.

  Since a certain period of time has passed since the registration of the player, the dormant user has a rich experience of playing, has relatively high specific parameter values, and may be a user whose parameter values are not separated by a predetermined value or more. is there. Therefore, the hibernating user satisfies the predetermined condition (3) and does not satisfy the predetermined condition (1), that is, belongs to the “dormant user group” and belongs to the “other user group”. May belong.

  On the other hand, when the hibernating user is a user who has little experience in playing and has relatively low specific parameter values and both parameter values are separated by a predetermined value or more, even if a certain period has elapsed since the player registration. There is also. Therefore, the hibernating user satisfies the predetermined condition (3) and also satisfies the predetermined condition (1), that is, belongs to the “dormant user group” and belongs to the “low-level user group”. There is also.

  In the present embodiment, the other users constituting the plurality of other users satisfy the above-mentioned predetermined condition (1) by defining a “low-level user group” that satisfies the above-mentioned predetermined condition (1) as a recommended user group. None of the "other user groups" can be roughly classified into two user groups as friend user groups.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of other users are selectably displayed on the user's terminal device. Furthermore, a user group, which constitutes a plurality of other users and in which the other users are classified, can be selectively displayed in a manner distinguishable from the other user groups.

  FIG. 2 shows the “low-level user group” (recommended user group) and the “other user group” (friend user group) displayed on the terminal device screen of the user (player) so as to be selectable. FIG. 13 is a transition diagram of a screen in which another user is selected from a recommended user group and a friend user group in accordance with an operation of a (player).

  FIG. 2B is an example of a screen in which “other user group” (friend user group) is displayed so as to be selectable.

  FIG. 2 (c) shows the recommended user group shown in FIG. 2 (a) and the friend user group shown in FIG. 2 (b) in accordance with the operation information input from the user (player). It is an example of a screen of the result of having each other user selected.

  FIG. 3 is an example of a screen in which a “low-level user group” (recommended user group) and a “other user group” (friend user group) are displayed in a selectable manner.

  FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 3 exemplarily show identification information of other users constituting the recommended user group and the friend user group. As "identification information of other users", in addition to the name of each other user and a photo of each other user, a fishing rod as a "type of game medium (item)" owned by each other user , And the “specific parameter value” of each other user, the user level (Lv) and the hit point (HP) are illustrated.

  Here, a user level (Lv) is adopted as a “specific parameter value” that is a reference when classifying into a low-level user group. When the user (player) identification information is “name: Taro” and the user (player) has a specific parameter value of the user level (Lv): 70, for example, the predetermined value is set to 30 in the game program. When set, other users whose level values are lower than the level value (Lv) of the user (player) and whose level values are separated by 30 (predetermined value) or more and whose level value is 40 or less are referred to as “low-level user group”. (Recommended user group).

  FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 3 exemplarily show the types of fishing rods as the types of items owned by each other user. Fishing rod A, fishing rod B, fishing rod C, and fishing rod D It is set so that the rank goes up in the order of. The user (player) can use the “type of game medium (item)” owned by each other user as a criterion for selection.

  In the present embodiment, a user group to which another user has been classified can be displayed so as to be selectable in a distinguishable manner. Thus, when a user (player) selects another user from the recommended user group and the friend user group, the user (player) can easily identify the user and improve usability.

  FIGS. 2A and 2B show the recommended user group and the friend user group classified according to the predetermined condition (1) as different screen displays so as to be visually distinguishable. 6 is an example of a screen displayed by a tab display.

  In FIG. 2A, a mode in which a beginner mark is attached to another user belonging to the new user group among other users belonging to the low-level user group so that the user can be easily visually recognized. Can be displayed, but is not limited to this display.

  In addition, among other users belonging to the low-level user group, the other users belonging to the dormant user group may be caused to display the item in a lightly shaded form so that the user can easily recognize it visually. It is possible, but not limited to this display.

  On the other hand, FIG. 3 displays the “low-level user group” (recommended user group) and the “other user group” (friend user group) classified on the predetermined condition (1) on the same screen. FIG.

  In FIG. 3, the recommended user group and the friend user group can be displayed in such a manner that other users belonging to the recommended user group are emphasized so that they can be visually distinguished. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  In FIG. 3, among other users belonging to the new user group and the dormant user group, other users belonging to the new user group are displayed in a manner of attaching a beginner mark, and other users belonging to the dormant user group are displayed. The user can display the item in a mode in which the item is shaded, but is not limited to these displays.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 3, the identification information of the other users belonging to the recommended user group and the friend user group, respectively, is displayed so that at least a part thereof can be viewed. However, when the user (player) performs a scroll operation, all the browsable user identification information can be viewed.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, when the user (player) selects another user from the recommended user group, the "invite" displayed on the right side of the identification information of each other user is displayed. You can make a selection by checking the window and tapping on a predetermined area labeled "Invite to Recommend".

Returning to the screen of (b), check the "Invite" window displayed on the right side of the identification information of the other user to be added, and check the "Invite to recommend" or "Invite to friend" displayed Can be selected by tapping the area.

  In addition, when the user (player) wants to cancel another selected user from the recommended user group and the friend user group by looking at the confirmation screen shown in FIG. Alternatively, returning to the screen of (b), canceling the check in the “invite” window displayed on the right side of the identification information of another user whose selection is to be canceled, and canceling the selection by performing a predetermined operation Can be.

  If the user (player) wants to change another user selected from the recommended user group and the friend user group by looking at the confirmation screen shown in FIG. Alternatively, returning to the screen of (b), remove the check mark in the window of “Invite” displayed on the right side of the identification information of the other user whose selection is to be changed, and select the new user to add and select another user. The selection can be changed by checking the "invite" window displayed on the right side of the identification information and tapping a predetermined area in which "invite to recommend" or "invite to friend" is displayed.

  When the user (player) looks at the confirmation screen shown in FIG. 2C and decides to make a selection, the user (player) taps a predetermined area where “invite to mini game” is displayed to select the selection. You can make a decision. At the same time, the identification information of the other user whose selection has been determined is stored (friend registration) in association with the user (player). This allows the user (player) to play the battle game together with (1) another user selected from the recommended user group and the friend user group. Alternatively, (2) a competitive game can be played by borrowing a game content or the like owned by the selected other user. It should be noted that the users registered as friends may be able to interact with each other via, for example, chat or the like.

  FIG. 4 shows the identification information of another user selected from a plurality of other users belonging to the recommended user group or the friend user group, stored in association with the user (player) (registered as a friend), It is a data conceptual diagram which shows the status information of a user (player).

  Here, the “status information” is information indicating the state of the user (player) in the battle game. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the user status information of the user is a user ID, and the name of the user is “specific parameter value”, the user level (Lv) and the hit point (HP), the selected recommended user The IDs and names of other users belonging to the group, the IDs and names of other users belonging to the selected friend user group, and the like are given.

  In the present embodiment, the user (player) is provided with another user belonging to the low-level user group that satisfies the predetermined condition (1) so that the user (player) can easily obtain an opportunity to be selected by the user (player). "Specific motivation" (incentive for selecting other users belonging to the low-level user group).

  In the present embodiment, the “specific motivation” given to the user (player) is “other user” corresponding to the identification information of another user (registered as a friend) stored in association with the user (player). The information (related to the information) and the above-described predetermined condition cause different effects during the progress of the battle game by the user (player).

  For example, when predetermined information of “information about another user” satisfies the above-described predetermined condition, the parameter included in the information about the user (player), which is used for the progress of the competitive game, is changed. The effect can be generated during the battle game by the user (player).

  Here, as the “information about another user”, for example, in addition to the identification information of the other user, (1) specific parameter information possessed by the other user, and (2) the other user registers the player of the competitive game. Information on the registered date of registration and (3) information on the last login date when another user last logged in to the competitive game, and the like. In addition, the “information about another user” may include information indicating a game content owned by the user, parameter information used for the progress of the competitive game, and the like.

  In addition, as the “parameters used for the progress of the battle game”, for example, in addition to the deck parameters, parameters (level, HP, attack power, and the like) of the game medium, and parameters (level, HP, , Attack power, etc.), a parameter relating to the progress speed of the game, and a parameter relating to a multiplication factor relating to the acquisition reward.

  In the present invention, when a user (player) selects another user belonging to the “low-level user group” (recommended user group), an incentive effect (motivation effect) is given to the user. . This makes it easier for other users belonging to the “low-level user group” to be selected by the user (player).

  Hereinafter, “specific motivation” given to a user (player) in the present invention will be described in detail.

  In the present invention, the effect that the “information about another user” corresponding to the identification information of the other user selected by the user satisfies the above-described predetermined condition and the case where the above-mentioned predetermined condition is not satisfied is provided by the user (player) ) Can be generated while the battle game is in progress.

  More specifically, when another user belonging to the “low-level user group” (recommended user group) that satisfies the above-described predetermined condition (1) is selected, the above-mentioned predetermined condition (1) is not satisfied. An effect that is superior to the user can be generated as compared to a case where another user belonging to the “user group other than” is selected. This makes it easier for other users belonging to the “low-level user group” to be selected by the user (player).

  Here, “generating an effect that is superior to the user” means, for example, that the effect of changing the parameter used for the progress of the competitive game is advantageous to the user (player) during the progress of the competitive game by the user (player). The following effect can be produced.

  Furthermore, when other users belonging to the “low-level user group” and having a large level difference from the user (player) are selected, an effect that is superior to the user (player) is generated more. Can also.

  Further, among other users belonging to the “new user group”, when another user whose date is shorter than the registration date is selected, the effect that is superior to the user (player) can be generated more.

  In addition, among other users belonging to the “dormant user group”, when another user who has passed for a longer period from the last login date is selected, an effect that is superior to the user (player) is generated more. Can also.

  As described above, among the other users belonging to the “low-level user group”, the level difference with the user (player) is large, and the opportunity that is selected by the user, that is, the opportunity to be invited to the competitive game, is very low. Even if the user is a user (player), by generating a greater effect that is superior to the user (player), an opportunity to be selected by the user (player) is easily obtained. Then, other users who have been hard to be invited to the competitive game are provided with an opportunity to enjoy the competitive game, and the game service can be activated.

  In the present embodiment, the number of pieces of identification information of other users that can be stored in association with a user (player) may be limited differently for each user group.

  Here, the “different restriction for each user group” means, for example, imposing different restrictions on the number of users that can be selected for each user group. Specifically, the number of selectable persons in the “low-level user group” is x, the number of selectable persons in the “new user group” is y, and the number of selectable persons in the “dormant user group” is z. , And a configuration in which the number of selectable persons in the “other user group” is n.

  In the present embodiment, the limit on the number of persons that can be selected for each user group is arbitrarily set within a range that does not impair the game characteristics of the competitive game according to the above-described “how to make the effect to be generated different”. be able to. As a result, the user (player) can be required to have a strategic property such as selecting how many users belong to which user group in a limited-capacity frame to achieve a high effect. Is improved, and a highly entertaining game can be provided to the advanced player.

  In FIG. 2C, the number of selectable people in the “low-level user group” (recommended user group) is 5 and the number of selectable people in the “other user group” (friend user group) is 40. The composition as a person is shown.

  It is shown that three recommended users have been selected when the number of persons in the recommended user group is five (indicated as “3/5” in FIG. 2C). On the other hand, when the number of persons in the friend user group is 40, seven friend users are selected (shown as “7/40” in FIG. 2C).

  FIG. 5 shows that the effect that the parameter used by the user (player) during the progress of the game is caused by the user (player) selecting three other users from the recommended user group has occurred. It is an example of a screen showing that this is the case.

  In FIG. 5, if a setting is made such that an effect of increasing the parameter used by the user (player) during the progress of the game by 1% for one other user belonging to the selected recommended user group is set to the recommended user group. As a result of selecting three other users to belong to, an effect of increasing the parameter of 1% × 3, that is, the parameter of 3% can be generated.

  As an effect that is superior to the user (player), for example, there is an effect of increasing a parameter used by the user (player) during the progress of the game by a predetermined value (for example, increasing by 1%) for each selected low-level user. Can be This motivates the user (player) to select a low-level user from among a plurality of other users, which can be a strong motivation for the user (player) to select a low-level user. On the other hand, the selected low-level user is provided with an opportunity to enjoy the competitive game, and the game service can be activated.
