<< About game outline >>
Here, the outline of the game provided by the game system 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The game system 1 provides various games that are played using an electronic game card (a virtual card used in a game; hereinafter also simply referred to as a “character”) associated with a game character.

<Competitive game>
In the game system 1 of this embodiment, the player can own a plurality of characters. A player can play a battle game using a player character owned by the player. Specifically, the battle processing unit 112 determines an enemy character to be the opponent of the player, and based on various parameters (attack strength, defense strength, physical strength, etc.) set for each of the player character and the enemy character, The outcome of the battle between these characters is determined. When the player wins the battle with the enemy character, the item held by the enemy character and the enemy character itself are given to the player.

<Lottery game>
In the game system 1 according to this embodiment, the player can play a so-called "gacha-gacha" (registered trademark) lottery game. In the lottery game, a character selected from a plurality of characters is given to the player. This lottery game includes a normal lottery game and a special lottery game. In a normal lottery game, when one lottery is performed, one character is given to the player. On the other hand, in the special lottery game, when one lottery is performed, a plurality of characters are given to the player at one time. The player can selectively play either a normal lottery game or a special lottery game. By repeating this lottery game, the player can increase the number of characters owned by the player until the maximum number is reached. Then, the player can play the above-described battle game using the character owned by the player.

<Character composition>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, a player selects a character (hereinafter, referred to as “base character”) that is a synthetic material for a character as a base (hereinafter, also referred to as “base character”) selected from a plurality of characters owned by the player. Character synthesis can also be performed by combining (also called "material character").
In the following description, it is assumed that the predetermined condition for character composition is that the number of times character composition has been performed (composition number) has reached a predetermined number.

  If the base character and the material character are the same character before the number of combining times reaches the predetermined number, by combining the material character with the base character, the parameter set in the base character before combining can be changed. The upper limit is increased, and the value of the parameter is reset to the combined base character so that it can exceed the upper limit. When the character composition is performed in this way, the player cannot own both the base character and the material character, but can only own the base character that has been enhanced by the composition.

  When the character composition is repeated until the number of composition times reaches a predetermined number, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character is increased stepwise. In the present embodiment, as shown in the character information of FIG. 4, the number of synthesizing is limited to three, so if the character synthesizing is repeated three times, the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character reaches the limit value. As a result, even if the character synthesis is repeated further, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character cannot be increased.

  After the number of combining times reaches the predetermined number, if the base character and the material character are the same character, each time the material character is combined with the base character, it is set to the base character before combining. Although the upper limit value (limit value) of the parameter cannot be further increased, an item based on the characteristics set for the material character is given to the player. When the character composition is performed in this way, the player cannot own the material character, can continue to own only the base character, and can acquire the item based on the characteristics of the material character. In the present embodiment, as described above, the number of times of composition is limited to three, so every time the fourth, fifth, sixth, ... Character composition is performed, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character ( Although there is no change in the (limit value), items based on the characteristics of the material character will be given to the player. The type of item based on the characteristics of the material character differs depending on the rarity class set for the material character.

<Character Reincarnation>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, after the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis is satisfied, the player performs a predetermined input operation at an arbitrary timing, so that the upper limit of the parameter reaches the limit value of the base character. Character reincarnation can be performed on (hereinafter, also referred to as “base character after maximum evolution”). Character reincarnation is a game process for giving a privilege to a player who owns a base character after maximum evolution.
Hereinafter, similar to the above-described character composition, the description will be made assuming that the predetermined condition regarding the character composition is that the number of times of character composition (composition number) reaches a predetermined number of times.

When the player performs a predetermined input operation after the number of synthesizing reaches a predetermined number, the character reincarnation is performed and the parameter set for the maximum evolved base character is initialized and the base character is changed. Items that can increase the parameter after initialization set to are given to the player.
For the base character for which the parameter after initialization is set, the upper limit value of the parameter can be increased stepwise again by repeating the above-described character composition.

  Thus, before the number of times of synthesis reaches a predetermined number, the base character can be gradually strengthened by repeating the synthesis, and after reaching the predetermined number of times, the base character after initialization is repeated by repeating the synthesis. You can strengthen the character again. In other words, by repeating character composition, even if the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character reaches the limit value and it becomes impossible to raise the upper limit of the parameter above the limit value, character reincarnation is performed. The parameter set to the base character can be returned to the initial value by. For this reason, after character reincarnation, the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character can be increased stepwise by repeating character synthesis again. By doing so, it is possible to increase the player's motivation for repeating the character synthesis.

  In addition, after performing character reincarnation, it is possible to dramatically increase the parameters after initialization by using the items given in character reincarnation, so when the player strengthens the base character This is advantageous, and the player's motivation for repeating character composition can be further increased.

<Automatic composition>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, when the player performs a setting operation in advance, when the character is given to the player in the competitive game or the lottery game, the character synthesis is automatically performed without the operation of the player be able to. As a result, when a character is added, it is determined whether or not that character can be a material character that can be combined with the base character, and then character composition is automatically performed. Become. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the labor required for the player to input the operation.

<< About operation of game system 1 >>
In the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the control unit 11 in the server device 10 controls each functional unit to be controlled according to the game program stored in the storage unit 12, thereby performing each process described below. Run.

<Regarding operations related to character composition>
FIG. 9 is a flow chart for explaining an operation example relating to character composition in the present embodiment.

  When the player performs an operation for starting the lottery game, the player terminal 20 transmits a lottery game start request to the server device 10. When the server device 10 receives the lottery game start request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 executes character addition processing (S101). Specifically, the character addition processing unit 111 gives the player a character selected from a plurality of characters based on the character information shown in FIG.

Next, the server device 10 determines whether or not the character composition is set to the automatic composition when the character is added to the player (S102). That is, the determination processing unit 115 refers to the player information shown in FIG. 6 and determines whether or not the item of automatic composition setting is set to “ON”.
The player may not be set in advance and the determination process in step 102 may be omitted so that the character synthesis is always performed automatically.

  As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the automatic combination setting is set to “OFF” (S102: NO), the process proceeds to step 104 and the screen data generation process is executed. That is, the screen data generation processing unit 118 generates screen data corresponding to the game screen including the character given to the player.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the automatic composition setting is set to “ON” (S102: YES), the process proceeds to step 103 and the character composition process is executed. In this character composition process, the following various processes are executed.

First, the server device 10 executes a process of determining whether or not a material character can be combined with a base character. That is, the determination processing unit 115 determines whether the character (material character) given to the player is the same character as the base character designated by the player. In the present embodiment, the determination as to whether or not the character is the same as the base character is made based on whether or not the character IDs match.
As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the character is not the same as the base character, the update process is executed. That is, the update processing unit 116 updates the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7 by recording the character given to the player as the possessed character of the player in the storage unit 12.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the character is the same as the base character, it is determined whether or not a predetermined condition regarding character composition is satisfied. That is, the determination processing unit 115 refers to the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7, and determines whether or not the number of times the base character specified by the player is combined has reached the maximum number (three times in the present embodiment). To judge.

  As a result of the determination, when it is determined that the number of times the base character is combined has not reached the maximum number, the parameter changing process is executed. Specifically, the synthesis processing unit 113 (parameter change processing unit) determines the upper limit value of the ability parameter set for the base character based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the owned character information shown in FIG. Increase from one stage to the next. At this time, the synthesis processing unit 113 can also increase the current value of the ability parameter set for the base character. After that, the update processing unit 116 does not treat the character given to the player as the player's own character, and resets the new upper limit value for the ability parameter set for the base character. To update the owned character information shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of times the base character is combined reaches the maximum number, the combination processing unit 113 is given to the player without changing the ability parameter set for the base character. Give the player an item based on the characteristics set for the character. After that, the update processing unit 116 does not treat the character given to the player as the player's owned character, and records the item given to the player as the player's owned item in the storage unit 12. , The possessed item information shown in FIG. 8 is updated.

  Next, returning to FIG. 9, when the character synthesizing process ends in this way, the server device 10 executes the screen data generating process (S104). That is, the screen data generation unit 118 generates screen data (HTML data) corresponding to the game screen regarding the lottery game.

  Then, the server device 10 transmits the screen data thus generated to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. Upon receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the game screen (Web page) on the terminal display unit 24.

<Actions related to character reincarnation>
FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example regarding character reincarnation in the present embodiment.

  When the player performs an operation for starting character reincarnation, the player terminal 20 transmits a game start page transmission request to the server device 10. Upon receiving the game start page transmission request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 executes character selection processing (S201). Specifically, based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the owned character information shown in FIG. 7, the character selection processing unit 117 sets the upper limit value of the ability parameter to the third stage among the characters owned by the player. Select the character (that is, the base character after maximum evolution) that has reached the upper limit (limit value) that was set.

  Next, when the character selection process ends, the server device 10 executes a screen data generation process (S202). That is, the screen data generation unit 118 generates screen data (HTML data) corresponding to the start screen for character reincarnation. The character reincarnation start screen includes an image of the selected maximum-evolved base character and the like.

  Then, the server device 10 transmits the generated screen data to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. When the player terminal 20 receives this screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the character reincarnation start screen (Web page) on the terminal display unit 24.

  Next, when the player performs an operation of designating the base character after maximum evolution while the start screen for character reincarnation is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, the player terminal 20 starts character reincarnation together with the operation information. The request is transmitted to the server device 10. Upon receiving the start request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 determines whether or not the base character after maximum evolution has been designated, based on the operation information of the player (S203).

  Next, when the server device 10 receives the operation input for designating the base character after the maximum evolution in this way, the server device 10 executes a character reincarnation process as an example of the privilege granting process (S204). Hereinafter, an operation example regarding the character reincarnation process will be specifically described.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the character reincarnation process.
First, the server device 10 executes a parameter changing process for changing the parameter set for the base character after maximum evolution (S301). Specifically, the privilege granting processing unit 114, based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the owned character information shown in FIG. 7, presents the current value of the parameter set in the base character after maximum evolution (this current value is the limit. The process (initialization process) of returning the same value) to the initial value is executed. After that, the update processing unit 116 resets a new current value (this current value is the same value as the initial value) for the base character after being initialized, so that the owned character information shown in FIG. To update.

Next, when the parameter changing process ends, the server device 10 executes an item giving process for giving an item to the player who owns the initialized base character (S302). Specifically, the privilege giving processing unit 114 gives the player a unique item (equipment) associated with the base character based on the character information shown in FIG. After that, the update processing unit 116 updates the owned item information shown in FIG. 8 by recording the item given to the player in the storage unit 12 as the player's owned item.
In this item granting process, the type of privilege to be granted may be different according to the attribute set for the base character. For example, when the rarity (attribute) of the base character is “rare” or higher, the privilege granting processing unit 114 grants an item (equipment) to the player, and the rarity of the base character is “uncommon” or lower. In this case, a virtual medal (in-game currency) may be given.

Here, when the player uses the given item for the initialized base character, the given item is attached to the initialized base character, and The parameter increase amount (see FIG. 5) associated with the item will be added to the current value of the parameter of the base character after being initialized. Along with this, the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 is updated by the update processing unit 116.
It should be noted that the player can attach the given item to not only the initialized base character but also other owned characters.

  Next, returning to FIG. 10, when the character reincarnation process ends in this way, the server device 10 executes a screen data generation process (S205). That is, the screen data generation unit 118 generates screen data (HTML data) corresponding to the game screen regarding the lottery game.

  Then, the server device 10 transmits the screen data thus generated to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. Upon receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the game screen (Web page) on the terminal display unit 24.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 50 before the character is reincarnated. On the game screen 50, a game field area 51 and a maximum evolved base character 52 designated by the player are displayed. In the game field area 51, the base character 52 after the maximum evolution is displayed, and the character information is displayed in association with the base character 52. Here, "character A" is designated by the player as the base character 52 after the maximum evolution, and "attack power", "defense power", and "physical strength" are displayed as the ability parameters of the "character A". . For each parameter, it is shown that the upper limit value (limit value) is "300" points, while the current value is "210" points.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 50 after the character is reincarnated. In the game field area 51, “character A” which is the reincarnated base character 53 is displayed, and character information is displayed in association with the base character 53. Here, "attack power", "defense power", and "physical strength" are displayed as ability parameters of "character A". For each parameter, it is shown that the upper limit value has dropped to "100" points and the current value has dropped to "10" points. That is, it is shown that the parameters are initialized by the character reincarnation, and the upper limit value and the current value of the ability parameter set for the base character are returned to the initial values.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the game screen 50 after the item is added. Here, in the game field area 51, “item A” which is the game item 54 given to the player is displayed. Players can be rapidly enhanced by using items on the base character after initialization.

As described above, according to the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the base character can be gradually strengthened by repeating the character synthesis before the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis is satisfied. On the other hand, although the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character cannot be further increased after the predetermined condition for character composition is satisfied, the character reincarnation is performed according to the operation input from the player, so that the base character The parameter set to can be returned to the initial value. After the character has been reincarnated, the upper limit of the parameters set for the base character can be increased stepwise by repeating the character synthesis again. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's motivation for repeating the character synthesis. Furthermore, by performing character reincarnation, an item is given to the player. After the character has been reincarnated, it is possible to dramatically enhance the initialized base character by using this item.
Further, in character reincarnation, since an item unique to each character is added, it is possible to further increase the player's motivation to repeat composition of game contents in order to collect various types of items.

=== Other Embodiments ===
The above embodiment is for facilitating the understanding of the present invention and is not for limiting the interpretation of the present invention. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and the present invention includes equivalents thereof. In particular, the embodiments described below are also included in the present invention.

<Character Reincarnation>
In the above-described embodiment, the parameter set in the base character after maximum evolution is initialized by executing the character reincarnation process (privilege granting process), and the initialized parameter set in the base character is also executed. Although a case has been described as an example where the player is given an item that can increase the item, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the privilege granting processing unit 114 changes the character ID corresponding to the base character after maximum evolution to a different character ID by referring to the character information shown in FIG. 4, thereby making it different from the base character after maximum evolution. An item that can change to another type of character and increase the parameter set for the other character may be added. At this time, the privilege giving processing unit 114 may give a unique item corresponding to the base character. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 15, in the game screen 50 after the character reincarnation, unlike the game screen 50 shown in FIG. 13, the “character B” which is the base character 53 after the reincarnation is displayed. In the parameter of "character B", an initial value "10" points is set for the initial upper limit value "100" points based on the character information shown in FIG. As a result, after character reincarnation, by repeating character synthesis again, it is possible to gradually increase the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character after this change (after exchange). By doing so, it is possible to increase the player's motivation for repeating the character synthesis. Furthermore, by performing character reincarnation, an item is given to the player. After you reincarnate a character, you can use this item to dramatically strengthen other characters. The player can attach the given item not only to the changed base character (other character) but also to another owned character.
The parameter limit value set for the changed base character (other character) may be set to be larger than the parameter limit value set for the base character before change. As a result, after character reincarnation, by repeating character composition, it becomes possible to grow into a stronger base character than before character reincarnation.

  In the present embodiment described above, when performing character reincarnation, the parameter change process is executed to initialize the parameters set in the base character after maximum evolution, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is not limited to this. For example, the current value of the parameter may be halved or the current value of the parameter may be uniformly lowered to a predetermined value (for example, 0 point) without returning the current value of the parameter to the initial value.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the character reincarnation can be performed on the base character after the maximum evolution has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, not only when the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character reaches the upper limit value (limit value) set in the third stage, but also when the upper limit value set in the second stage is reached. However, the character may be reincarnated. In other words, the character reincarnation may be performed even in the middle stage before the upper limit of the parameter reaches the limit value.

  In this embodiment described above, when the parameters set in the base character after maximum evolution are initialized by performing character reincarnation, the limit values of the parameters set in the initialized base character are initialized. It may be reset so that it is larger than the limit value of the parameter set for the previous base character. As a result, after character reincarnation, by repeating character composition, it becomes possible to grow a stronger base character than before character reincarnation.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the player can perform character reincarnation by performing a predetermined input operation at an arbitrary timing has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. The character may be automatically reincarnated. For example, when the determination processing unit 115 determines that the condition is satisfied on the condition that the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character has reached the upper limit value (limit value) set for the third stage, The privilege granting process 114 may automatically perform the character reincarnation process (privilege granting process).

<Character composition>
In the above embodiment, the case where the character composition is performed when the base character and the material character are the same character has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the base character and the material character may be characters belonging to the same group or different characters. In addition, for example, when all of the plurality of types of characters that are associated with the base character in advance can be owned, the character composition may be performed.

  Further, in the above-described present embodiment, when the composition of the base character and the material character is repeated before the predetermined condition regarding the character composition is satisfied, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character may be increased stepwise. Although described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the current value of the parameter set for the base character may be increased stepwise up to the upper limit value.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where one material character is added to the player and the one material character is combined with the base character has been described as an example. The invention is not limited to this. For example, when two or more material characters are given to the player at one time, it can be applied to a case where each material character is continuously combined with the base character.

<Predetermined conditions for character composition>
In the present embodiment described above, as the predetermined condition for character combination, the number of times of combining reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, the maximum number of times: 3 times), but the present invention is not limited to this. Absent. For example, it is possible to set that the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character reaches the limit value (maximum value) by repeating the character synthesizing process under the condition that the number of synthesizing is not limited and the predetermined condition for character synthesizing is set. . Further, the fact that the parameter (current value) of the base character has reached the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character may be the predetermined condition for character composition. Alternatively, a combination of the specific conditions described above may be used as the predetermined condition for character composition.

<Automatic composition>
The above-described automatic composition in the present embodiment can be applied even when a special lottery game is played and a plurality of characters are given to the player at one time. At this time, for example, one character out of the plurality of characters given to the player is used as the base character for automatic composition, and the remaining characters of the plurality of characters are used as the material characters for automatic composition. You may.

<Character addition process>
In the above-described present embodiment, the battle game and the lottery game have been described as an example of the character adding process, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a character may be added by completing a mission given to the player. Further, the player may add the character by inputting the serial code displayed on the Web page or the like. Alternatively, the character may be added by the player logging in to the game system 1. Furthermore, the character may be added according to the event (consumption of points in the event, top ranking person) provided in the game system 1.

<Designation of base character>
In the above-described embodiment, the player may use a character designated by the player from among the owned characters as a base character for the synthesis, or the synthesis processing unit 113 automatically selects the player's designation operation. The created character may be used for composition as a base character.

<Server device 10>
Although the game system 1 including one server device 10 has been described as an example of the server device in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of server devices 10 may be provided as an example of the server device. The game system 1 may be provided. That is, a plurality of server devices 10 may be connected via the network 2 and each server device 10 may perform various processes in a distributed manner.

<Information processing device>
In the game system 1 according to the present embodiment described above, the case where the server device 10 and the player terminal 20 are made to cooperate with each other to execute various information processing based on the game program has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, the player terminal 20 alone as the information processing device or the server device 10 alone may execute the above various information processing based on the game program.
Further, the player terminal 20 may take a part of the function as the information processing device. In this case, the server device 10 and the player terminal 20 form an information processing device.
