Description

The present invention relates to an information processing device and a program.

In a battle-type game or the like, the selection of the character (object) to be used greatly affects the outcome. Since each character has individuality such as strength and usability, the characters selected by the player are inevitably biased. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that the performance of a character is automatically set according to the usage rate of the character by the player to avoid the concentration of popularity on a specific character.

One of the battle-type games is a battle game (trading card game) that is performed by using a set (deck) of cards created by selecting a plurality of cards (objects) owned by the player. Such a game is originally a game in which a wide variety of contents are developed depending on the combination of cards, and is a game that the player will not get tired of. However, even in such a card game, card combinations tend to be similar.

JP 2002-252554 A

In the case of a game in which selected characters are played against each other, as described in Patent Document 1, the usage rate of the character may be reflected in the performance of the character itself, but a plurality of objects such as a card game may be used. In a game in which the development of the game changes depending on the combination of, it is necessary to devise more in line with the content of the game. In addition, when a strong deck was fixed, the popularity of these decks was concentrated, and the choice of deck configurations was sometimes narrowed.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to adjust the advantage of a combination of a plurality of objects selected by a player in the progress of play according to the usage situation.

Next, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a game system 1 including a game server (information processing device) 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a system of a competitive game (trading card game) that is played using a set (deck) of cards made by selecting a plurality of cards from the cards (objects) owned by the player will be described as an example. An image of a character is displayed on each card, and a hit point (HP) indicating durability in a battle, a parameter value indicating attack power, and the like are set for each character. Note that the game system to which the present invention is applied is not limited to the above-described one, but can be applied to all kinds of games in which the player selects and plays a plurality of objects (characters, items, etc.).

As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 includes a game server 10 and a user terminal 20. The game server 10 and the user terminal 20 are connected by a communication network.

The communication network is, for example, the Internet, a LAN, a dedicated line, a telephone line, a corporate network, a mobile communication network, Bluetooth (registered trademark), WiFi (Wireless Fidelity), another communication line, or a combination thereof. However, it does not matter whether it is wired or wireless.

The game server 10 is composed of a general-purpose computer, and realizes a server function by operating a predetermined server program on the computer. The game server 10 includes a control device 11 and an external storage device 12. The control device 11 includes a CPU, memories such as ROM and RAM, an input interface, an output interface, a communication interface, and a bus connecting these. The control device 11 realizes various functions by the CPU executing programs stored in the ROM or the like. The external storage device 12 is a hard disk drive or the like.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the game server 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the functional modules executed by the CPU of the control device 11 include a usage frequency acquisition unit 101, a point setting unit 102, a parameter value determination unit 103, and an object information display unit 104.

Further, the external storage device 12 is equipped with an object point storage unit 105. In the object point storage unit 105, the usage frequency of each object and the information of the points set for each object are registered. In this embodiment, the object is a card on which a character is displayed. In addition, in the present embodiment, the usage frequency of each object is periodically updated according to the number of times the player has selected it in a predetermined period. In addition, the points of each object are regularly updated based on the frequency of use.

The user terminal 20 is a terminal for a player to play a game in cooperation with the game server 10. The user terminal 20 is a terminal capable of communicating with the game server 10 via a communication network, such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC (personal computer), a personal digital assistant (PDA), and a wearable device.

As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 20 includes a processor 21, an input device 22 such as a keyboard and a mouse, various operation buttons and a touch panel, a display device 23 such as a liquid crystal display, a communication interface 24 for connecting to a communication network, and a disk. A storage resource 25 such as a drive or a semiconductor memory (ROM, RAM, etc.) is provided. The storage resource 25 stores a computer program executed by the processor 21.

Next, the flow of the game by the game system 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of object point setting processing. The point setting process is executed periodically (for example, every two weeks), and the points of each object are updated each time.

The usage frequency acquisition unit 101 of the game server 10 periodically acquires the usage frequency of each object (card) (step S101). The frequency of use is determined based on the number of times the player has selected it (the number of times it has been incorporated into the deck). Specifically, it is the number of times selected by a player who has played a game using the game system 1 in a predetermined period (first period: for example, January 1 to January 15).

It should be noted that the usage frequency acquisition unit 101 determines the usage frequency of each object based on the number of times selected by a player identified by a predetermined play record among the players who played the game using the game system 1. May be. The player specified by the predetermined play record can be, for example, the player who has won the battle in the period. Further, a higher rank player whose ranking determined based on the result of the game is equal to or higher than a predetermined rank may be targeted.

The usage frequency of each object may be calculated by the usage frequency acquisition unit 101 of the game server 10, or the usage frequency of each object may be acquired from an external system for each period. Further, the usage frequency acquisition unit 101 registers the acquired usage frequency in the object point storage unit 105.

Next, the point setting unit 102 of the game server 10 sets the points of each object based on the acquired use frequency (step S102). The points may be set stepwise, for example, by classifying the usage frequency (the number of selections) into a plurality of ranges (for example, 100 times or more: 0 points, 80 to 99 times: 5 points, 60 to 79 times: 10 points, 40 to 59 times: 15 points, 20 to 39 times: 20 points, 19 times or less: 30 points). Alternatively, it may be calculated using a predetermined mathematical expression (for example, points=100−frequency of use (however, zero if negative value)).

In this embodiment, the lower the frequency of use (the smaller the number of selections), the higher the points. The point value may be, for example, a value that is added to the parameter value as a bonus at the time of parameter setting described later.

The point setting unit 102 updates the points of each object registered in the object point storage unit 105 with the newly set points (step S103). The updated points are used until the next update process (second period). Regarding the relationship between the newly set point usage period (second period) and the usage frequency calculation period used to set points (first period), the second period is the first period. It may be a later period. For example, even if the frequency of use of the latest first period is used, such as (first period: January 1 to January 15; second period: January 16 to January 31) Well, (1st period: January 1st-January 15th, 2nd period: February 1st-February 15th) May be.

Next, a process of creating a deck by the player by the game system 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

The game starts when the player P operates the user terminal 20 of the player P to activate the application of the game system 1 or to access the online game site. The object information display unit 104 of the game server 10 displays a deck creation screen (screen for creating a combination of objects) on the display device 23 of the user terminal 20 (step S201).

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a deck creation screen. As shown in FIG. 5, on the deck creation screen, an area A1 for displaying a list of all objects C selectable by the player P and an area A2 for displaying the selected object C (object incorporated in the deck). Is included. Each object C may display an image of the character and information such as a hit point (HP in the drawing) or an attack power (AP in the drawing) of each character. Further, the point (P in the figure) set for the object may be displayed. The object C displayed in the area A1 is an object previously purchased by the player P or an object acquired in a game or the like. In the area A1, the objects may be arranged in the order of purchase or the order in which the player P selects the largest number of times, or the points set for the objects may be arranged in the descending order (or descending order). .. Alternatively, the already selected object may not be selected.

Next, the player P performs a deck creation operation (step S202). Specifically, an operation of selecting the object C to be incorporated into the deck from the objects C displayed in the area A1 (for example, moving the object C to the area A2 by dragging and dropping) is performed.

When the selection of the objects (for example, 10) necessary for creating the deck is completed (step S203: YES), the parameter value determination unit 103 of the game server 10 determines the player based on the points of the objects included in the deck. The parameter value given to P is set (step S204).

The parameter value determination unit 103 acquires the points registered in the object point storage unit 105 for all the objects included in the deck, and sets the parameter value based on the total value of the points. May be.

Further, the parameter value determination unit 103 may extract an object having a use frequency within a predetermined range from among the objects included in the deck, and set the parameter value based on the points of the extracted object. For example, only points of objects whose usage frequency is equal to or lower than a predetermined value or objects whose usage frequency is equal to or higher than a predetermined value may be used. Alternatively, only the points of the upper object or the lower object in the usage frequency ranking may be used.

The parameter to be set is one or more parameters related to the progress of the game. For example, the parameter values (for example, attack power) of all the objects included in the deck may be set as the setting target, or the parameter values of one of the objects included in the deck (for example, the object set as the leader). Hit points) may be set.

Explaining with a specific example, when adding the total value (for example, 150) of points of all objects included in the deck as a bonus to the hit points (for example, the initial value is 1000) of the object set as the leader, The hit point of the leader object is set to 1150. Further, among the objects included in the deck, the total value of the points of the objects whose use frequency is equal to or lower than a predetermined value (for example, 20 times or less) may be added to the hit points as a bonus. Alternatively, among the objects included in the deck, the total value of the points of the objects whose use frequency is a predetermined value or more (for example, 80 times or more) may be subtracted from the hit points as a negative bonus.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the point of each object is set based on the frequency of use of the object by the player, and among the plurality of objects selected by the player, the points of one or more objects satisfying a predetermined condition are set. Based on this, one or more parameter values given to the player are determined. As a result, it may be possible for the player to obtain an advantageous parameter value by selecting an object (a less popular object) that is not usually selected, so that a combination (deck) of a plurality of objects selected by the player may be selected. It is possible to increase variations and prevent the contents of the game from becoming uniform. The objects satisfying the predetermined condition may be all objects selected by the player (all objects included in the deck), or one or more objects selected based on the frequency of use or the rank of frequency of use. May be Further, among the objects selected by the player, an object having a predetermined attribute may be targeted. For example, an object having a particularly strong (strong) parameter value in a battle may be targeted.

In addition, by determining the parameter value based on the points of the objects whose use frequency is within a predetermined range among the plurality of objects selected by the player, the parameter value can be improved according to the number of selected objects with low use frequency. Conversely, adjustment such as lowering the parameter value can be performed according to the number of selected objects that are frequently used.

In addition, among the plurality of objects selected by the player, the points of one or more objects satisfying a predetermined condition are added up, and the parameter value of one of the plurality of objects is determined based on the total points. Good. Accordingly, it is possible to set parameters that affect the content of the game according to the rules of the game. For example, if the rule is to win the opponent's leader object's hit points to zero earlier, then the hit points of the leader object will be targeted so that the selection of the object has a great influence on the game content. can do.

Further, the frequency of use of the object is determined based on the number of times the player has selected in a predetermined period, and the points are calculated based on the new use frequency for each predetermined period and updated each time. As a result, it is possible to always use the points determined based on the recent usage frequency of the object.

Further, the frequency of use of the object may be determined based on the number of times selected by a player having a predetermined play record (a player who has won a match, a player having a high ranking, etc.). As described above, by using the information of the object selected by the player who is familiar with the game to some extent, it is possible to obtain information on the frequency of use that reflects the true popularity of the object. Further, it may be the frequency of use based on the information of the object used when the player satisfying the predetermined condition wins the battle. The player who satisfies the predetermined condition is, for example, a player who belongs to a specific league, a player whose player rank is in a predetermined range, or a player whose charge is a predetermined amount or more. For example, a player belonging to a higher league or an object used by a player with a higher player rank when winning a match is considered to be a strong object. In addition, it is considered that players who are charged a predetermined amount or more have a lot of experience and are familiar with how to select objects in the game.

Further, when the player selects an object, the objects selectable by the player are arranged in the user terminal 20 in ascending order of points (or in ascending order), so that when the player selects an object, it is unique to each object. It becomes easier to consider not only the strength (attack strength, etc.) but also the currently set points.

In the present embodiment, the information processing device of the present invention is the game server 10, but the information processing device is not limited to the server. For example, it may be a terminal device such as a personal computer or a personal digital assistant, or a game dedicated machine.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above embodiments are merely examples in all respects, and should not be construed as limited. For example, the processing steps described above can be arbitrarily changed in order or executed in parallel as long as the processing contents do not conflict. Further, other steps may be added between each processing step. Further, the steps described as one step may be executed by being divided into a plurality of steps, and the steps described as a plurality of steps may be grasped as one step.
