Description

The present invention relates to a program or the like for causing a computer system to execute a game.

As a player character (character operated by a player) appearing in a video game, a character designed to be composed of multiple parts and parts like a robot weapon appears. For example, many humanoid robot weapons are composed of multiple parts / parts such as head, chest, arms, hands, torso, hips, legs, legs, attack weapons, defensive weapons, and thrusters.

Then, in a game in which such a character appears, the handling of the constituent parts and parts directly affects the fun of the game. Therefore, in the field of game technology development, various technology developments are carried out depending on how to handle the parts and parts that make up the character.

For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for realizing a performance deterioration or a dysfunction due to damage received in the past in a more natural manner in a game in which a humanoid robot weapon is used as a player character. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for improving user operability regarding recovery of a part of a game character including a plurality of parts.

Although only one user terminal 1500 is drawn in FIG. 1, in actual system operation, a plurality of user terminals 1500 can access the server system 1100 at the same time.

Further, although the server system 1100 is drawn as if it were one server device, it may be configured to be realized by a plurality of devices. For example, the server system 1100 may have a configuration in which a plurality of blade servers that share each function are mounted and connected to each other via an internal bus so that data communication is possible. Further, the installation location of the hardware constituting the server system 1100 does not matter. A plurality of independent servers installed at remote locations may be configured to function as the server system 1100 as a whole by performing data communication via the network 9.

The user terminal 1500 is a computer system used by a user who is a player to play the game of the present embodiment, and is an electronic device (electronic device) capable of accessing the server system 1100 via the network 9. That is, the user terminal 1500 functions as a game device for the player. The user terminal 1500 of the present embodiment is a device called a so-called smartphone, but if it is a portable computer, it may be a portable game device, a tablet computer, or the like.

In the present embodiment, the user terminal 1500 is configured to download programs and various setting data from the server system 1100, but it may be configured to be read from a storage medium such as a separately obtained memory card 1540.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a player character configuration in the game of the present embodiment. In the game of the present embodiment, a character designed to be composed of a plurality of parts / parts is used as a player character PC.

The player character PC is configured by assigning a part object 8 (8a, 8b, ...) To each of a plurality of parts 7 (7a, 7b, ...) Set in the base character 6 which is a base character. To.

Specifically, before the start of the game, a plurality of character models having different numbers and / or positions of constituent parts are presented to the player as options, and the selected model selected based on the player's selection operation is used as the base character. Let it be 6. Then, the options of the assignable part object 8 are presented for each part 7 set in the base character 6. The player selects the assignment of the part object 8 (8a, 8b, ...) To each part 7 (7a, 7b, ...) To customize the player character PC used by the player.

Note that, in FIG. 3, an example of the part object 8 is shown only for a part of the part 7. Although not shown, it is assumed that a part object 8 that can be assigned is set for each part 7 that is originally assigned.

The gameplay representations of the base character 6, the part 7, and the part object 8 can be appropriately selected.

For example, when the player character 4 is a character corresponding to a dress-up doll, the base character 6 is designed as a body corresponding to a naked human being, and the part object 8 is designed as an equipment to be attached to the body. Then, the base character 6 is prepared as a human-shaped object, and the part 7 is a conceptual existence indicating a relative position where the equipment of the base character 6 can be mounted. This example is suitable for a game in which the player character PC is a human soldier, and equipment such as weapons and armor are selected and attached to the battlefield.

Further, for example, when the player character PC is designed as a connecting body of parts for constructing the entire character by assembling parts of the head and limbs to the body, the base character 6 has a plurality of parts 7 and freedom between the parts. It is considered to be a conceptual existence that defines the constraint relationship of degrees. This example is suitable for a game in which the player character PC is a robot soldier. On the screen for the allocation operation of the part object 8, the base character 6 and the part 7 are visualized, but it is preferable that they are not visualized during the game play.

Hereinafter, in the present embodiment, the player character PC will be described as adopting a design in which the entire character is constructed by assembling parts.

By the way, the number of parts 7 possessed by one base character 6 (in FIGS. 3 to 6, the parts 7 are represented by squares indicating each part forming the base character 6), the relative positional relationship, and the subordination relationship (FIGS. 3 to 3). In 6, the line connecting the quadrangles of the parts 7) can be appropriately set according to the character design of the base character 6.

The "subordination relationship" mentioned here is a dependency relationship from the viewpoint of design (for example, the relationship between the base and the parts mounted / mounted on the base: the relationship of the scope with respect to the rifle body), and the viewpoint of object motion control. It means to include the subordination relation related to the restraint of the degree of freedom seen from the viewpoint (for example, the relation of shoulder, upper arm, elbow, forearm, and hand in descending order of subordination relation).

FIG. 3 shows an example in which the base character 6 has a human shape. The base character 6 has a head 7a, a body 7b, a right arm 7c, a right hand 7d, a left arm 7e, a left hand 7f, a right leg 7g, a right foot 7h, a left leg 7j, and a left foot. It has a part 7k.

The relative positional relationship and the subordination relationship of the part 7 are not limited to the example of FIG. 3 and can be appropriately set even if the type has a human shape. The arms are divided into smaller parts, and the shoulders, arms, and hands are composed of three parts, the torso is composed of the chest, abdomen, and waist, and the legs are composed of the thighs, shins, and so on. It may be composed of three parts of the foot. It is also possible to add as appropriate, such as providing a backpack on the back surface of the body 7b.

Further, if the base character 6 is other than the human-shaped type, the type and number of the parts 7 can be appropriately set. For example, "headless type" with the number of heads set to "0", "multi-head type" with multiple heads set, "multi-arm type" with 3 or more arms, and "0" for the legs. It can also be a "legless type", etc.

It should be noted that the player may select and customize the part object 8 for all of the parts 7 possessed by one base character 6, or the part 7 may be limitedly customized.

Further, the subordinate parts 7 do not need to be visually connected in the game screen, and an expression that is not visually connected, such as a controller of a remote controller and a drone, is also possible.

The part object 8 is prepared in advance by the game creator. The part object 8 is prepared with various designs and a plurality of types in which various initial performances are set. The player customizes his / her player character PC by selecting which part object 8 is assigned to which part 7 based on his / her play style and game strategy.

One type of site object 8 is associated with at least one site 7.
The part object 8 is prepared in advance by the game creator. Some types of Part Object 8 are provided free of charge by the game creator, but others are available for purchase through online shopping, lottery, sweepstakes, etc., in-game rewards and loot. It is set to be available as a product. The part object 8 obtained by the player can be used in the game by separately linking it with the user account and registering the use.

Then, in each part object 8, a "reference parameter value" that serves as a reference for setting the performance of the part 7 to which the part object is assigned is set.

The "reference parameter value" is saved as one of the game save data related to the part object. In the present embodiment, the meaning of the reference parameter value in the game is such as the degree of growth, the degree of training, the degree of maturity, the degree of perfection, and the experience value of the part object 8. Of course, the meaning in the game is not limited to this and can be set as appropriate.

The reference parameter value changes when the part object 8 is used in gameplay. For example, if the play results and the progress of game play (how many stages and scenarios have been captured, etc.) meet the conditions considered to be good results, the better the results, the larger the value will be added. If the conditions considered to be bad grades are met, the worse the grades, the larger the value will be subtracted.

Then, in the present embodiment, the performance value of the part 7 is determined based on the reference parameter value of the part object 8 assigned to the part. For example, the "performance value" of the portion 7 is associated with a predetermined value or a predetermined range of the reference parameter value in advance. Therefore, when the reference parameter value changes, the performance value of the automatically assigned portion 7 changes. Basically, when the reference parameter value increases, the performance value improves, and when the reference parameter value decreases, the performance value decreases.

In the present embodiment, the player character PC is designed to construct the entire character by assembling parts, so the "part performance value" referred to here is the performance of the directly assigned part object 8. It will represent a value. If the player character PC is designed to be constructed in the form of a dress-up person, the performance of the part object 8 assigned to the part 7 is added to the basic performance value for each part 7 set in the base character 6. The value (value determined based on the reference parameter value) is added, and the total performance value related to the part 7 is applied in the game play.

By the way, in order to add a new interest that was not found in the conventional game, in the game of this embodiment, the part object 8 satisfying a specific condition is certified and registered as a "specific part object", and the existence of the specific part object exists. , Various influence mechanisms are prepared.

The "specific part object" is a part object 8 in which the reference parameter value satisfies a predetermined "specific value condition".
The "specific value condition" can be set as appropriate. For example, regarding the part object 8, 1) the reference parameter value of the part object 8 has reached the maximum value, 2) the ratio of the current value to the initial value of the reference parameter value has reached a predetermined value, and 3) concrete. It can be set that various numerical arrangement conditions (for example, Zorome, prime numbers, etc.) are satisfied. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the maximum value has been reached.

The reference parameter value of each part object 8 is constantly monitored, and the part object 8 satisfying the specific value condition is certified and registered as a specific part object. In the present embodiment, the part object 8 recognized as the specific part object is permanently treated as the specific part object, but depending on the game design, the part object 8 whose reference parameter value does not satisfy the specific value condition May cancel the certification / registration of the specific part object.

Then, in the setting of the performance value of the part object 8 (in the present embodiment, as a result, the setting of the performance value of the part 7 to which the part object 8 is assigned is the same), the existence of the "specific part object" exists. Has a great effect.

Specifically, the reference parameter value of the part object 8 which is a non-specific part object existing around the specific part object is
1) Number of specific part objects (or non-specific part objects) at that time,
2) Reference parameter value of specific part object,
3) Relative positional relationship between the specific part object and the part object 8.
4) Dependency between the specific part object and the part object 8
5) Attribute relationship between the attribute set in the specific part object and the attribute set in the part object 8.
It is changed based on at least one of the elements.

More specifically, first, at the time of setting the performance value of the part object 8 which is a non-specific part object, the larger the number of the specific part objects, the larger the additional amount based on the number of objects is determined. The additional amount is added to the reference parameter value of the part object 8 which is a non-specific part object. Since the part 7 set in the base character 6 is finite and fixed, paradoxically, the smaller the number of non-specific part objects is at the time of setting the performance value of the part object 8 which is a non-specific part object. It can be said that the additional amount based on the number of objects is determined as a large value, and the additional amount is added to the reference parameter value of the part object 8 which is a non-specific part object.

In addition, "addition to the reference parameter value" referred to here is literally added to the reference parameter value, and of course, the addition amount is separately held and the reference parameter value is referred to in the game progress control. By applying the total value of the parameter value and the additional amount, it is also included that the state is substantially added to the reference parameter value. In the present embodiment, the latter is used.

Secondly, the larger the reference parameter value of the specific part object at the time of setting the performance value of the part object 8, the larger the additional amount to be given based on the reference parameter value is determined, and the additional amount is the non-specific part. It is added to the reference parameter value of the part object 8 which is an object.

Thirdly, regarding the relative positional relationship between the specific site object and the site object 8 at the time of setting the performance value of the site object 8, the closer the relative positional relationship is, the more the additional amount given based on the relative positional relationship is. It is largely determined, and the additional amount is added to the reference parameter value of the part object 8 which is a non-specific part object.

The perspective of the relative positional relationship may be calculated each time the relative distance between the objects is calculated, or may be counted by the arrangement of the respective parts 7.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the body portion 7b is recognized as the specific part object 10, the body portion 7b is counted as “0”. Since the head 7a, the right arm 7c, the right leg 7g, and the like are arranged next to the body 7b, the relative positional relationship count is set to "1". The portion 7 having a count of “1” is represented by hatching with a coarse diagonal line interval. Since the right hand portion 7d and the right foot tip portion 7h sandwich the right arm portion 7c and the right leg portion 7g with respect to the body portion 7b, respectively, the relative positional relationship count is set to "2". The part with the count "2" is represented by a white square. As for the additional amount 12 (12a, 12b, ...) Granted based on the relative positional relationship, the additional amount 12a with the count "0" is the largest, and the additional amount 12b with the count "1" and the addition amount "2" are added. It is set lower in the order of the amount 12c. Since the count "0" is the specific part object 10 itself, it may be a parameter value set in the specific part object 10 itself without using the idea of the additional amount.

Fourth, in the subordination relationship between the specific part object and the other part object 8, the larger the number of steps in the lower direction of the subordination relationship (the farther the subordination relationship is), the smaller the addition amount to the part object 8 is determined. However, in the present embodiment, the subordination relationship (which can be said to be the master-slave relationship) of each part forming the base character 6 is absolutely determined. Then, in the absolute subordination of each part, the relative subordination of the specific part object to the part is determined. For the part object assigned to the part higher than the part of the specific part object, the additional amount is set to "0".

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, as an absolute subordination, the head 7a is at the top, and the subordination of each part is lower toward the tip of the limbs for the base character 6. In this assumption, when the body 7b is recognized as the specific part object 10, the head 7a is higher than the specific part object 10, so that the amount added to the part object assigned to the head 7a is "0". It is said. Then, the additional amount 13a added to the body 7b> right arm 7c, left arm 7e, right leg 7g, left leg 7j additional amount 13b> right hand 7d, left hand 7f, right foot tip 7h, left foot tip The additional amount 13c of the part 7k is set in this order.

Fifth, the attribute relationship between the specific site object and the site object 8 is set to any of a mutual aid relationship, a reciprocal relationship, and a neutral relationship for each combination of both attributes. Mutual aid means a relationship that has a mutually beneficial effect, reciprocal relationship means a relationship that has a negative effect on each other, and neutral relationship means that they do not affect each other.

Then, the magnitude of the additional amount 13 (13a, 13b, ...) Granted to the non-specific part object based on the attribute relationship is the mutual aid relationship additional amount 13a> the neutral relationship additional amount 13b> the reciprocal relationship. The additional amount is determined to be 13c. The type of "attribute" can be set as appropriate.

For example, FIG. 6 shows an example in which the specific part object 10 is assigned to the body portion 7b. The additional amount 14 (14a, 14b, ...) Granted based on the attribute is the mutual aid part 7 (indicated by the white square in FIG. 6), and the additional amount 14a is the neutral part 7 (represented by the white square in FIG. 6). In FIG. 6, it is set to be larger than the additional amount 14b (indicated by a thin shaded quadrangle). Then, the addition amount 14c of the reciprocal portion 7 (indicated by the cross-hatched quadrangle in FIG. 6) is set to the lowest. The additional amount 14c may be a negative value.

In addition, the influence of the specific part object on the non-specific part object also includes a demerit. Specifically, when a problem occurs in the specific part object, for example, in a damaged state, the performance of the non-specific part object is automatically reduced according to the damaged state. More specifically, when a specific part object is hit and damaged, the amount of reduction of the basic parameter value according to the damage state is determined and applied to the reference parameter value of the non-specific part object. The object. The amount of reduction is determined in the same relationship as the amount of addition described above. That is, the larger the number of specific part objects, the larger the reduction amount, the closer the relative positional relationship, the larger, and the closer the dependent relationship, the larger. Regarding the attribute relationship, it is determined that the reduction amount of the mutual aid relationship <the reduction amount of the neutral relationship <the reduction amount of the reciprocal relationship.

Further, when the reference parameter value of the part object 8 which is a non-specific part object is changed based on the game progress result, the specific part object has an influence.

"Game progress result" is read as, for example, gameplay results (for example, points, number of shots down, number of damages inflicted on enemies, etc.), cleared and game stage (depending on the content of the game, game scenario, mission, etc.) You can set how many times you have cleared). Then, the higher (gooder) the game play result is, the greater the reference parameter value of the part object 8 is changed.

The calculation range of the game progress result when changing the reference parameter value may be from the start of this game play to the present. If the game can be played continuously by saving the save data and inheriting the game progress up to the previous time, the past game progress result may be included in the calculation result.

Even if the game progress result is the same, the amount of change of the reference parameter value of the non-specific part object based on the game progress result is larger than that in the case where the part object 8 constituting the player character PC does not have the specific part object. , If there is, it is set larger.

The presence of the specific site object also affects the synthesis of the site object 8.
"Synthesis" here means a mechanism for improving the ability to use multiple objects and disable the remaining objects instead of improving the performance of any one object, or multiple objects as one object. It is a mechanism to replace with.

In the present embodiment, any one of a plurality of part objects 8 of the same type is used as a base part object, and the rest is used as a material part object. Then, when the composition is executed, the reference parameter value of the base part object is increased according to the reference parameter value of the material part object by disabling the material part object. Then, at this time, the amount of increase in the reference parameter value applied when the specific part object exists is larger than that when the specific part object does not exist under the same conditions.

Specifically, as in the case of determining the amount of the reference parameter value added to the non-specific part object described above, the larger the number of specific part objects and the closer the relative position of the specific part object is, the more the dependency of the specific part object is. The amount of increase of the reference parameter value of the base part object is set larger as the subordinate relationship is closer and the reference parameter value of the specific part object is larger.

Furthermore, the presence of the specific site object also affects the addition of the new site object 8.
Specifically, for example, a random lottery process (for example, a gasha or a lottery process when a defeated character determines an object to be dropped by a lottery. The lottery process is not limited to the gasha or the drop). When executing and giving a new part object 8 to the player, the lottery process is executed after the winning probability of the part object 8 having relevance or similarity to the specific part object is improved. For example, the winning probability of the part object 8 that can be assigned to the same part as the part to which the specific part object can be assigned is increased. As a result, it is possible to easily create a situation in which the player can easily perform "composite" using the specific part object as the base part object and the part object given by the lottery as the material object.

Control is performed to give the created part object 8 to the player.

Then, the part object grant control unit 212 has a grant object selection unit 214 and a selection probability control unit 216.
The grant object selection unit 214 selects a part object to be granted to the player based on a given selection probability.

When the selection probability control unit 216 has a specific part object among the part objects constituting the player PC, the selection probability control unit 216 allocates the specific part object to the same part as the part to which the non-specific part object can be assigned, as compared with the case where the specific part object does not exist.

A player character PC is constructed by assigning a part object to a part constituting the selection model.

The part performance setting unit 222 sets the performance of the part to which the part object 8 is assigned based on the reference parameter value of the part object 8 assigned to the part 7. At that time, the part performance setting unit 222 does not satisfy the specific value condition when there is a specific part object whose reference parameter value satisfies a given specific value condition among the part objects 8 constituting the player character PC. Improve and set the performance of the part to which the specific part object is assigned.

The game progress result corresponding parameter value changing unit 224 changes the reference parameter value of the part object 8 (the part object 8 assigned to the part 7) constituting the player character PC based on the game progress result using the player character PC. To do.

At that time, the parameter value changing unit 224 corresponding to the game progress result refers to the non-specific part object when there is a specific part object among the part objects constituting the player character PC, as compared with the case where there is no specific part object.

Control to improve the value. From a different point of view, it can be said that the synthesis control unit 230 functions as a second part object assignment control unit through a special mechanism called "synthesis".

The damage spread control unit 240 manages the damage of the part object 8 constituting the player character PC based on the game progress control. Then, the damage ripple control unit 240 controls to reduce the performance of the part to which the non-specific part object is assigned when the specific part object is in a given damage state during the progress of the game.

In this embodiment, the touch panel 1506 of FIG. 2 corresponds to this.

The communication control unit 294 executes data processing related to data communication, and realizes data exchange with an external device via the communication unit 394.

The communication unit 394 connects to the network 9 to realize communication. For example, it is realized by a wireless communication device, a modem, a TA (terminal adapter), a jack or a control circuit of a wired communication cable, and the wireless communication module 1553 of FIG. 2 corresponds to this.

The terminal storage unit 500 stores programs, various data, and the like for realizing various functions for causing the terminal processing unit 200 to control the user terminal 1500 in an integrated manner. Further, it is used as a work area of the terminal processing unit 200, and temporarily stores the calculation result executed by the terminal processing unit 200 according to various programs, the input data input from the operation input unit 100, and the like. Such a function is realized by, for example, an IC memory such as RAM or ROM, a magnetic disk such as a hard disk, an optical disk such as a CD-ROM or DVD, or the like. The IC memory 1552 and the memory card 1540 mounted on the control board 1550 of FIG. 2 correspond to this. It is also possible to configure using online storage.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of programs and data stored in the terminal storage unit 500. The terminal storage unit 500 stores the game program 502, the game initial setting data 510, the save data 690, the play data 700, and the current date and time 800. Of course, programs and data other than these can be stored as appropriate.

The game initial setting data 510 stores various initial setting data and definition data necessary for executing the game. In the present embodiment, similarly to the game program 502, it is downloaded from the server system 1100 and stored in the terminal storage unit 500.

The game initial setting data 510 includes base character candidate definition data 512, part object definition data 530, attribute relationship definition data 560, and composite pattern definition data 570. Of course, data other than these can be included as appropriate.

The base character candidate definition data 512 is prepared for each character model that can be selected as the base character 6, and stores various initial setting data related to the character model. One base character candidate definition data 512 includes a unique character type 513, a part definition data 514, a dependency data 515, and a model data 516, for example, as shown in FIG.

One part definition data 514 includes, for example, a part name, a part relative position coordinate with respect to a predetermined representative point of the character, and whether or not the part object 8 can be assigned to the part. included. Of course, data other than these can be included as appropriate.

The dependency data 515 defines the dependency between the parts 7 of the character. For example, the hierarchical relationship of the subordination of the part 7 is described by the tree structure data of the part name or the like. Then, the relative position coordinates, the changeable range, the connection relationship type, and the like are stored for each of the subordinate parts 7 with respect to the subordinate part 7 above. So-called "bone data" corresponds to this depending on the character model construction method.

The model data 516 is a dedicated object corresponding to the body when the player character PC is designed as a dress-up doll. In the present embodiment, since the player character PC is designed to construct the entire character by assembling parts to each part, the model data 516 is data that defines the positional relationship of each part 7 to which the object is assembled.

Returning to FIG. 8, the part object definition data 530 is prepared for each type of the part object 8 and stores the initial settings related to the part object.

For example, the change amount definition data 536 includes a change implementation requirement, a first change amount determination function, and a second change amount determination function.

The change implementation requirement is a condition that must be met in order to grant the amount of change. The change implementation requirement can be determined, for example, based on a parameter value indicating the progress of the game progress result. For example, the number of defeated enemies can be set to "10", the stage can be set to "3" cleared, and so on.

The first change amount determination function is a function for determining the change amount when a specific part object exists in the player character PC. As the variable, the value of the parameter representing the game progress result is used.
The second change amount determination function is a function for determining the change amount when the specific part object does not exist in the player character PC. As the variable, the value of the parameter representing the game progress result is used.

The additional amount definition data 540 stores various data for determining the additional amount (improvement amount) when the reference parameter value is improved by the site object as a non-specific site object.
As shown in FIG. 11, for example, the additional quantity definition data 540 is dependent on the application requirement 541, the object number-based additional quantity determination function 543, the object capacity-based additional quantity determination function 544, and the position-based additional quantity determination function 545. It includes a reference addition amount determination function 546, an attribute reference addition amount determination function 547, and a total addition amount determination function 548. Of course, data other than these can be included as appropriate.

Application requirement 541 defines a requirement to which the definition data is applied. The contents of the requirements can be set as appropriate, but in the present embodiment, 1) the game progress condition 541a described by the threshold value and range of the parameter representing the game progress result, and 2) each player based on the past play history. Player level condition 542b, which is a condition related to the skill and proficiency of the player that is automatically set, and 3) types of part objects 8 certified as specific part objects, types of assigned parts, and number of specific part objects. , Which is at least one of the specific part object condition 541c, which is a condition for, and is described by AND or OR of them. Of course, the application requirement 541 can be set to "none".

The object number reference addition amount determination function 543 is a function that determines the addition amount to be given based on the number of specific site objects. The object ability reference addition amount determination function 544 is a function that determines the addition amount given based on the reference parameter value of the specific part object. These may be table data instead of functions.

The position-based addition amount determination function 545 is a function that determines the addition amount given based on the relative positional relationship between the specific part object and the non-specific part object. Alternatively, it may be table data (see FIG. 4).

The dependent criterion addition amount determination function 546 is a function that determines the addition amount given based on the dependency relationship between the specific part object and the non-specific part object. Alternatively, it may be table data (see FIG. 5).

The attribute reference addition amount determination function 547 is a function that determines the addition amount given based on the attribute relationship between the specific part object and the non-specific part object. Alternatively, it may be table data (see FIG. 6).

The total additional amount determination function 548 includes an additional amount given based on the number of specific part objects, an additional amount given based on the ability of the specific part object, and an additional amount given based on the relative positional relationship. , When the part object is finally a non-specific part object, with the additional amount that determines the additional amount given based on the dependency relationship and the additional amount given based on the attribute relationship as variables. It is a function that determines the total value added to the reference parameter value.

Returning to FIG. 10, the initial winning probability 550 defines the initial probability that the part object is given to the player when the specific part object does not exist in the player character PC. It is the probability that the part object will be won by the random lottery process under the conditions.

The winning probability 552 when the specific part object exists defines the probability that the part object is given to the player when the specific part object exists in the player character PC. It is the probability that the part object will be won by the random lottery process under the conditions.

Returning to FIG. 8, the attribute relationship definition data 560 is prepared for each combination of the attributes of the part object 8, and stores the attribute combination and the attribute relationship setting of any of mutual aid relationship / reciprocal relationship / neutral relationship. ..

The composite pattern definition data 570 is prepared for each composite pattern of the part object 8, and stores various data for defining the pattern. One composite pattern definition data 570 includes a unique composite pattern ID 571, a base site object type 572, a material site object type 573, a first composite result determination function 574, and a second composite result determination function 575. including. Of course, data other than these can be included as appropriate.

The combination of the base part object type 572 and the material part object type 573 indicates the type of synthesis indicated by the definition data.

The first synthesis result determination function 574 is a function applied when a specific part object exists in the player character PC, and is a function from the reference parameter value of the material part object to the reference parameter value of the base part object accompanying the synthesis. This is a function that calculates the amount of change. It may be realized by table data.

Similarly, the second synthesis result determination function 575 is a function applied when the specific part object does not exist in the player character PC, and is the reference of the base part object accompanying the synthesis from the reference parameter value of the material part object. This is a function that calculates the amount of change in the parameter value. It may be realized by table data.
Even if the reference parameter values of the material part objects are the same, the value derived by the first composition result determination function 574 is larger than the value derived by the second composition result determination function 575.

The save data 690 includes the possessed part object save data 691, the player character save data 692, and the play history data 693. Of course, data other than these can be included as appropriate.

The owned part object save data 691 includes an owned part object ID prepared for each part object 8 owned by the player and uniquely set each time the player owns, a part object type, and a save time reference parameter value. Of course, data other than these can be included as appropriate.

The play data 700 stores various data describing the latest game progress status.
For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the player character management data 710, the specific part object list 730, and the game progress result data 732 are included. Of course, data other than these can be included as appropriate.

The player character management data 710 is prepared for each player character PC and stores various data for controlling the character. In the example of FIG. 12, one player character management data 710 is used, but when one player uses a plurality of player character PCs, the player character management data 710 for each character is stored.

One player character management data 710 includes a unique character ID 711, a base character type 712, allocation setting data 720, and status data 728. Of course, data other than these can be included as appropriate.

The allocation setting data 720 is prepared for each part 7 of the base character type 712 (see the part definition data 514 in FIG. 9), and the part object 8 (selected part object) selected for allocation to the part by the player's selection operation. ) Is stored.
One allocation setting data 720 includes a part ID 721, a selected part object management data 722, and a performance value 727.

The selected part object management data 722 includes a part object ID 723 indicating the owned part object ID of the assigned part object 8 (see the owned part object save data 691 in FIG. 8) and a part indicating the type of the assigned part object 8. The object type 724, the reference parameter value 725, and the total addition amount 726 are stored. Of course, data other than these can be included as appropriate.

The reference parameter value 725 is a reference parameter value that is applied to the part object during game play. At the start of the game, the save reference parameter value of the possessed part object save data 691 (see FIG. 8) of the part object ID 723 is copied to the reference parameter value 725. Then, when the timing for adding the change amount based on the game progress result comes during the game play, the determined change amount is added to the reference parameter value 725 each time. At the time of game saving, the reference parameter value 725 at that time is overwritten with the save reference parameter value of the possessed part object save data 691 (see FIG. 8) of the part object ID 723.

The total additional amount 726 is the total value of the additional amount of the reference parameter value added to the part object from the start of the game. The initial value of the total additional amount 726 is "0". At the start of the game, if the part object 8 that is already recognized as the specific part object exists in the player character PC and the part object is a non-specific part object, the addition amount is determined and added. In addition, when a new specific part object appears during game play, the additional amount for that amount is determined and added.

That is, in the present embodiment, the influence of the specific part object on the non-specific part object is a temporary measure when the player character PC is configured. That is, the reference parameter value of the part object 8 is raised by the influence of the specific part object when it is used in the configuration of the player character PC, but when it is removed from the configuration of the player character PC, the reference parameter value is raised. The value returns to the state before raising.

Therefore, in the game play, when setting the performance value 727 of the part to which the part object is assigned, the value obtained by adding the total addition amount 726 to the reference parameter value 725 is referred to.
If the addition of the addition amount to the reference parameter value based on the existence of the specific part object is a permanent measure, the total addition amount 726 is omitted and the addition amount is added to the reference parameter value 725 each time. And it is sufficient.

The status data 728 stores various parameter values indicating the latest state as the player character PC. For example, it stores information such as durability value (corresponding to so-called hit points), attack power, defense power, movement power, recovery power, status abnormality, position, speed, and the like.

Next, the operation of the game system 1000 of the present embodiment will be described.
13 to 14 are flowcharts for explaining the flow of processing in the user terminal 1500. The processing flow described here is realized by the user terminal 1500 executing the game program 502 in the terminal processing unit 200.

As shown in FIG. 13, the user terminal 1500 first executes the player character configuration process (step S4).
FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the player character configuration process.
In the same process, the user terminal 1500 presents the options of the base character 6 and accepts the selection operation (step S10). It is preferable to present the player character save data 692 as a default from the save data 690 as appropriate.

Next, the user terminal 1500 presents the options of the assignable part object 8 to the part 7 of the selected base character 6 and accepts the selection operation (step S12). The part object 8 to be selected is a part object 8 already owned by the user, that is, a part object 8 managed by the owned part object save data 691 (see FIG. 8). Of course, at this time, one or a plurality of new part objects 8 may be given to the user and included. The result of the selection operation, that is, the result of the allocation is stored as the allocation setting data 720 (see FIG. 12).

Next, the user terminal 1500 refers to the save time reference parameter value from each owned part object save data 691 (see FIG. 8) for each selected part object (selected part object), and each allocation setting data 720. To the reference parameter value 725 of (step S14).

Then, when the specific part object is applicable to the selected part object 8 (YES in step S20), the user terminal 1500 is in loop A (steps S22 to S28) for each corresponding selected part object 8. ) Is executed.

In the loop A, the user terminal 1500 registers the part object 8 to be processed as a specific part object (step S24), calculates the grant amount for each non-specific part object, and adds the total addition amount 726 (FIG. 6). 12) is added (step S26), and loop A is terminated (step S28).

Regarding step S26, specifically, definition data satisfying the application requirement 541 is selected from the additional amount definition data 540 (see FIG. 11) of the part object definition data 530 (see FIG. 10) of the target non-specific part object. Search for. Then, the number of objects reference addition amount determination function 543, the object ability reference addition amount determination function 544, the position reference addition amount determination function 545, the dependency reference addition amount determination function 546, and the attributes of the searched addition amount definition data 540. Each additional amount is calculated based on the reference additional amount determination function 547. Then, according to the total addition amount determination function 548, the calculated load amounts are added up to calculate the total addition amount 726 to the non-specific part object to be processed.

When the loop A is executed for all the specific part objects among the selected part objects 8, the user terminal 1500 ends the player character configuration process.

Returning to FIG. 13, the user terminal 1500 then receives the menu display and the menu selection operation (step S40). The items of the menu can be set as appropriate, but in the present embodiment, the present embodiment includes "execution of a lottery for granting a new part object 8", "composition of part objects", "start of game play", and "end of program". Of course, other items may be added as appropriate.

Then, if the menu item of "execution of the lottery for granting the new part object 8" is selected (YES in step S42), the user terminal 1500 confirms whether or not the specific part object exists in the player character PC. (Step S44).

If there is a specific part object (YES in step S44), the user terminal 1500 is not owned by the player among all the part objects 8 that can be won in preparation for the grant lottery (random lottery process using random number generation). The winning probability of the part object 8 of the above is increased (step S46), and the grant lottery is executed (step S48).

Regarding steps S46 to S48, specifically, among all the part objects 8 that can be won in the grant lottery, the part object 8 that the player does not own has a winning probability of 552 when the specific part object exists (see FIG. 10). ) Is used, and the initial winning probability of 550 is used for the owned part object 8. In the save data 690 (see FIG. 8), a new owned part object save data 691 of the given part object 8 is newly created.

If the item "Composite of part object" is selected from the menu (YES in step S60), the user terminal 1500 considers that the synthesis request operation has been detected, and uses the base part object for synthesis and the material. The selection operation with the part object is accepted (step S62).

Then, the user terminal 1500 determines the amount of increase of the reference parameter value 725 of the base part object based on the reference parameter value 725 of the base part object and the reference parameter value 725 of the material part object (step S64). ..

Specifically, the definition data that matches the combination of the selected base part object and the material part object is searched from the composite pattern definition data 570 (see FIG. 8). Then, referring to the searched definition data, if the player character PC has a specific part object, the increase amount is determined according to the first synthesis result determination function 574. If there is no specific site object, the amount of increase is determined according to the second synthesis result determination function 575.

Next, the user terminal 1500 executes the synthesis (step S66).
The user terminal 1500 adds the determined increase amount of the reference parameter value 725 of the base part object, and deletes the possessed part object save data 691 (see FIG. 8) of the material part object.

Moving to FIG. 14, if the item "Start gameplay" is selected from the menu (YES in step S80), the user terminal 1500 considers that the gameplay start operation has been detected, and first the player character PC For each part object 8 assigned to each part 7, the performance value definition data 535 (see FIG. 10) is referred to, and the latest reference parameter value 725 at that time plus the total addition amount 726 is added, that is, addition. The performance value 727 (see FIG. 12) is set based on the reference parameter value to which the quantity is added (step S82).
At that time, the user terminal 1500 clearly indicates the specific part object as one of the effect displays on the game screen, and displays the effect that the influence affects the non-specific object and the notification display of the total additional amount 726. It is preferable to do so.

Next, the user terminal 1500 starts gameplay progress control (step S84). Along with this, the user terminal 1500 also starts damage ripple control that reduces the performance of the part to which the non-specific part object is assigned when the specific part object becomes a given damage state during the progress of the game.

After the game play is started, the user terminal 1500 monitors whether the change implementation requirement of the change amount definition data 536 is satisfied for each part object 8 assigned to each part of the player character PC.
Then, if there is a part object 8 that satisfies the change implementation requirement (YES in step S86), the change amount is calculated according to the change amount definition data 536 for each corresponding part object 8, and the calculated change amount is used as the reference. It is added to the parameter value 725 (step S88).

Then, if a new specific part object is generated by the change of the reference parameter value 725 this time (YES in step S90), the user terminal 1500 sets the part object 8 recognized as the new specific part object to the specific part object. (Step S92), the grant amount is calculated for each non-specific part object, and the addition amount is added to the total addition amount 726 (see FIG. 12) (step S94).

Further, if a new part object assignment event occurs during game play (YES in step S100), the user terminal 1500 confirms whether or not the specific part object exists in the player character PC (step S102).

If there is a specific part object (YES in step S102), the user terminal 1500 increases the winning probability of the part object 8 not owned by the player among all the part objects 8 that can be won in preparation for the grant lottery. (Step S104), the grant lottery is executed (step S106).

When the game play is finished (YES in step S110), the user terminal 1500 saves the save data 690 (step S112).

If the item "End program" is selected from the menu (YES in step S112), the user terminal 1500 ends a series of processes.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in a game in which a character designed to be composed of a plurality of parts and parts is used as a player character, it is possible to add an unprecedented interest in handling the parts and parts.

That is, the player character can be customized by assigning a part object to each part based on the operation of the player. The part object has a parameter value that serves as a reference for the performance of the part to which the part object is assigned. That is, each part object is individually given the ability to influence the performance of the assigned part. Then, if there is a part object that can be regarded as a specific part object among the part objects, the performance of the non-specific part object can be improved.

There has never been a game that includes an element that affects the performance of another part when the ability of the object assigned to a certain part reaches a certain state. Therefore, in a game in which a character designed to be composed of a plurality of parts and parts is used as a player character, it is possible to add an unprecedented interest in the handling of parts and parts.

In that case, any user terminal 1500B is made to take on the function as the server system 1100B of the second embodiment. Alternatively, a plurality of user terminals 1500B may share the functions of the game management unit 210B.

Similarly, in the second embodiment, the function of the game management unit 210 can be shared between the server system 1100B and the user terminal 1500B.

(Modification example 2)
Further, in the above embodiment, since the performance of the part object 8 assigned to the part 7 is directly regarded as the performance of the part 7, the influence of the specific part object is assigned to the part 7. It was realized by changing the reference parameter value 725 of the part object 8 which is, but it is not limited to this.

For each part 7, a parameter value indicating the performance of the part is held in the play data 700, and instead of changing the reference parameter value 725 of the part object 8 assigned to the part 7, a parameter value indicating the performance of the part is used. By changing it, it is possible to change the performance of the part.

Further, in the game setting, when the performance of the player character PC is set as the integrated performance of the character as a whole, not for each part 7, "the performance of the part to which the non-specific part object is assigned" in the above embodiment "Improvement" can be read as "improvement of integrated performance of the character as a whole". In other words, it can be said that "improve the performance parameter value of the player character PC calculated based on the reference parameter value of the non-specific part object".

(Modification example 3)
Further, the player character PC is not limited to a design with a biological motif such as a humanoid or an animal. It may be designed with robots, battleships, aircraft, racing cars, etc. as motifs. The genre of the game in which the player character PC appears does not matter. For example, it may be a shooting game, an RPG, a sports game, a fighting game, or the like.

Specifically, in the base character candidate definition data 512 (see FIG. 9) of the base character 6 having the transformation function, the part definition data 514 is provided for each of “before transformation” and “after transformation”. Then, "part change relationship definition data" that defines which part after the deformation changes to the part before the deformation is separately provided.

Further, in the part object definition data 530 (see FIG. 10) of the part object 8 that can be used for the base character 6 having a deformation function, performance values are defined for each of the part before the deformation and the part after the deformation. Data 535 is provided.

Then, for the player character PC that uses the base character 6 having the transformation function, the allocation setting data 720 is updated based on the "part change relationship definition data" before and after the transformation, and the performance value definition data before or after the transformation is performed. The performance value 727 may be updated based on 535.
