One of the objects of the present invention is to improve the taste of lottery in information processing in which a user acquires a plurality of types of game elements by lottery.

The information processing system of one aspect of the present invention draws game elements by a first lottery in which any one of a plurality of types of game elements having each type of game element having or not having an additional effect can be drawn. The lottery means to be performed, the strengthening means for strengthening the game element owned by the user when the game element drawn in the first lottery is already owned by the user, and the game drawn in the first lottery. When the element has the additional effect, the effect enabling means that enables the application of the additional effect to the game element and the game element to which the additional effect can be applied The lottery means has an effect application means for applying the additional effect, and the lottery means has a probability that an additional effect item will be drawn when the degree of enhancement of the plurality of types of the game elements has reached the upper limit. The second lottery, which is higher than the first lottery, is performed, and when the additional effect item is applied to the game element owned by the user, the effect enablement means of the additional effect for the game element. It has a configuration that enables application.

According to this configuration, in the first lottery for drawing a game element (for example, a player character), when a game element already owned is assigned, the game element can be strengthened and an additional effect (for example, possession) can be obtained. (Change the game element to be played) can also be obtained in the first lottery, and if the degree of enhancement of each type of game element reaches the upper limit, it can be applied to the game element owned by the game element. Since the second lottery is performed in which additional effect items to which the additional effect can be applied can be drawn, the interest of the lottery can be improved. That is, by providing the second lottery, the additional effect is applied to the game element even after the degree of strengthening of the game element reaches the upper limit without the game element having the additional effect being drawn in the first lottery. The opportunity to do so will be guaranteed.

In the above information processing system, when the degree of strengthening of the game element reaches the upper limit, the lottery means lowers the lottery probability of the game element having reached the upper limit and performs the first lottery. , The probability that a game element of a type different from the game element that has reached the upper limit may be drawn may be increased as compared with before the lottery probability is decreased. With this configuration, all game elements can be quickly boosted to the upper limit. It should be noted that lowering the lottery probability includes setting the lottery probability to 0. That is, the game element whose degree of strengthening has reached the upper limit may not be drawn in the first lottery.

In the above information processing system, the effect enablement means applies the additional effect item to the game element of the type based on the user designating the type of the game element owned by the user. Good. With this configuration, the user can apply additional effect items to any game element he owns.

With this configuration, game characters and game items can be acquired by the first lottery and the second lottery.

In the above information processing system, in the first lottery, the probability that the additional effect item is drawn may be zero. With this configuration, the game character can be drawn and strengthened by the first lottery, and then additional effect items can be drawn by the second lottery.

In the above information processing system, the effect application means may switch the type of the game element by applying the additional effect to the game element according to a user's instruction. With this configuration, additional effects can be applied to the game element to switch the type of the game element. Even when the type of the game element is switched, the degree of strengthening of the game element may be maintained.

In the above information processing system, the game element may be in-game content owned by the user. With this configuration, it is possible to own, enhance, and apply additional effects by lottery to the content in the game.

In the above information processing system, the effect application means may change the display mode of the in-game content by applying the additional effect to the in-game content.

In the above information processing system, the effect application means may change the color of at least a part of the in-game content by applying the additional effect to the in-game content.

In the above information processing system, the game element drawn by the first lottery may include game elements of the first category and the second category, and the game element of the first category has an additional effect. The game elements of the second category may include only those having no additional effect.

In the above information processing system, if the degree of enhancement of the game element has not reached the upper limit in the first lottery, the possibility that the game element of the first category is drawn is the game of the second category. The element may be less likely to be drawn.

The information processing system may further include a game execution means for executing a game in which the stronger the game element is, the more advantageous the game is.

In the above information processing system, the additional effect may be irrelevant to whether or not the game progresses advantageously.

Hereinafter, the game system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments described below are examples of cases where the present invention is carried out, and the present invention is not limited to the specific configurations described below. In carrying out the present invention, a specific configuration according to the embodiment may be appropriately adopted.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the information processing system is configured as a game system that performs information processing related to the game. Further, in the present embodiment, the game system 100 includes a game terminal 70 and a game server 80. The game terminal 70 and the game server 80 are provided with a communication device 74 and a communication device 84, respectively, and can communicate with each other. The game server 80 is provided on a communication network, and a plurality of game terminals 70 can access the game server 80.

The game terminal 70 includes a processor 71, a memory 72, a touch panel 73, and a communication device 74. The game server 80 includes a processor 81, a memory 82, a storage device 83, and a communication device 84. The game terminal 70 is a terminal owned by the user and operated by the user when playing a game. The game terminal 70 may be a general-purpose computer device such as a smartphone that also performs information processing other than games, or may be a terminal dedicated to games. The game server 80 is a server managed by a person who provides the game of the present embodiment to the user, and even if the game server 80 also functions as various information processing servers, it is a server dedicated to the game. May be good.

In the game terminal 70 and the game server 80, the functions described below are configured by the processor 71 and the processor 81 executing the game program and the game server program of the embodiment of the present invention, respectively. These game programs and game server programs may be provided to the game terminal 70 and the game server 80 through the communication network, respectively, or may be provided to the game terminal 70 and the game server 80 through the recording medium.

First, an outline of the game of the present embodiment will be described. In this game, the user can own a plurality of types of game characters, a plurality of types of items, and in-game virtual currency. The game characters, items, and in-game virtual currency owned by the user are stored in the storage device 83 of the game server 80 together with the user ID and the in-game status of the user (for example, player level, cleared stage, points earned, etc.). It is remembered, maintained, and updated as needed. The in-game virtual currency may be acquired by satisfying a predetermined condition in the game, or may be purchased by charging.

The drawing data for drawing the game character or item and displaying it on the touch panel 73 is stored in the game terminal 70 regardless of whether or not the user owns the game character or item, and the user can play the game. When a character or item is acquired, the game character or item may be enabled in the game and reflected in the game while being drawn. Alternatively, conversely, when the user acquires the game character or item, the data for drawing the game character or item may be downloaded from the game server 80 to the game terminal 70.

However, at each stage of the game, the user selects and sets one of the game characters he owns and starts the game. Skills are defined for each game character, and the user can advance the game advantageously by the skill corresponding to the game character set in the stage by satisfying a predetermined condition in the game. The degree of strength (skill level) is set for this skill, and by increasing the skill level, for example, the effect becomes stronger or the conditions for generating the skill are relaxed (the skill becomes easier to activate). It is advantageous for the user.

The user can acquire the game character by consuming the in-game virtual currency. Which of the multiple types of game characters to acquire is determined by lottery. That is, the user can draw a game character by consuming the in-game virtual currency. The plurality of types of game characters are divided into first category characters (first category) and second category characters (second category). Each game character belonging to the first character is provided with an appearance-changing character, which will be described later.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The game system 100 as an information processing system includes a lottery unit 10, a lottery post-processing unit 20, a game pre-processing unit 30, and a game execution unit 40. Although FIG. 2 shows a configuration necessary for the description of the present invention, the game system 100 may have other functions in addition to the configuration shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the lottery unit 10 and the lottery post-processing unit 20 are provided in the game server 80, and the game pre-processing unit 30 and the game execution unit 40 are provided in the game terminal 70. However, the instruction by the user is given by the touch panel 73 as the input means of the game terminal 70, and various screens are displayed on the touch panel 73 as the display means of the game terminal 70.

The lottery unit 10 includes a first lottery unit 11 and a second lottery unit 12, and draws game characters and items. When the lottery is performed by the lottery unit 10, the post-lottery processing unit 20 performs a process of reflecting the lottery result. The lottery post-processing unit 20 includes a character addition unit 21, an item addition unit 22, a strengthening unit 23, and an effect applicability unit 24.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a lottery screen for starting a lottery according to the embodiment of the present invention. As mentioned above, the lottery can be done by consuming the in-game virtual currency. In the present embodiment, the first virtual currency and the second virtual currency are used as the in-game virtual currency. In the example of FIG. 3, the consumption amount when the first virtual currency is consumed and the lottery is performed is 5, and the consumption amount when the second virtual currency is consumed and the lottery is performed is 1. By tapping the button of either the first five virtual currencies or the second virtual currency in FIG. 3, the lottery unit 10 starts the lottery process.

The first lottery unit 11 performs a first lottery in which any one of a plurality of types of game characters can be drawn. In the present embodiment, what can be drawn in the first lottery is a game character including the first category character and the second category character, and the item including the additional effect item described later is not a lottery candidate. That is, in the present embodiment, the lottery probability of the additional effect item in the first lottery is 0. In the first lottery, game characters already owned by the user are also candidates for the lottery. Therefore, a game character already owned by the user may be won (appeared).

When the first lottery is performed by the first lottery unit 11 and a certain game character is won, the character addition unit 21 refers to the storage device 83 and indicates that the user does not yet own the game character. When confirmed, the game character is newly added as a game character owned by the user.

On the other hand, in the strengthening unit 23, when the first lottery is performed in the first lottery unit 11 and a certain game character is won, the user already owns the game character with reference to the storage device 83. When is confirmed, the game character is strengthened by improving the skill level of the game character. However, for example, after skill level 3, the specifications may be such that it is necessary to obtain the game character more than once in order to raise the skill level. In this embodiment, the skill level is set from 1 to 10.

As described above, the first category character among the game characters includes a normal first category character (hereinafter, referred to as “normal character”) and a first category character whose appearance of the normal character has been changed (hereinafter, referred to as “normal character”). "Appearance change character") and are prepared. The lottery candidates of the first lottery also include appearance-changing characters of the first category characters. Although the appearance-changing character is different from the normal character in appearance, it has no other advantages, and has no effect such that the game can be advanced more advantageously than the normal character. Instead of this, the appearance-changing character may have characteristics superior to those of the normal character, such as being able to advance the game more advantageously than the normal character.

When the appearance-changing character is won in the first lottery, the post-lottery processing unit 20 processes the addition of the game character by the character addition unit 21 or the enhancement of the game character by the enhancement unit 23 in the same manner as described above. At the same time, in addition to that, the effect applicability unit 24 makes it possible to change the appearance of the game character as an additional effect. That is, the appearance-changing character drawn in the first lottery is a game character having an additional effect of changing the appearance of the game character.

As a result of the strengthening unit 13 improving the skill level of the game character each time the game character is duplicated and won by the first lottery of the first lottery unit 11, the skill level of a certain game character reaches the upper limit of 10. Then, the first lottery unit 11 excludes the game character from the lottery candidates of the first lottery so that the game character is not drawn in the subsequent first lottery.

FIG. 4 is a table showing an example of lottery conditions for the first lottery in the initial state according to the embodiment of the present invention. In this example, five types of first category characters and ten types of second category characters are prepared as lottery candidates. Since an appearance-changing character is prepared for each of the five types of first-category characters, there are also five types of appearance-changing characters.

The winning probability of each normal character is 7.92%, and the winning probability of any one of the five types of first category characters is (7.92% x 5 types =) 39.6%. Further, the winning probability of each appearance-changing character is 0.2%, and the winning probability of any of the five types of appearance-changing characters is (0.2% x 5 types =) 1.0%. The winning probability of each second category character is 5.94%, and the winning probability of any second category character is (5.94% × 10 types =) 59.4%.

That is, in the first lottery, the winning probability of the first category character is set lower than the winning probability of the second category character, and the winning probability of the appearance-changing character is set to be significantly lower than the winning probability of the normal character.

FIG. 5 is a table showing an example of lottery conditions for the first lottery when the skill level of one second category character in the embodiment of the present invention reaches the upper limit. Since the second category character whose skill level has reached the upper limit is excluded from the lottery candidates of the first lottery, the quantity of the second category character is reduced from 10 to 9. With the exclusion of some of the lottery candidates, the individual winning probabilities of each normal character, each appearance-changing character, and each remaining second category character are set high. At this time, the ratio of the probability that any normal character is won, the probability that any appearance-changing character is won, and the probability that any second category character is won is close to the initial state shown in FIG. The winning probability of each individual is adjusted so as to be.

FIG. 6 is a table showing an example of lottery conditions for the first lottery when the skill level of one first category character in the embodiment of the present invention reaches the upper limit. Since the first category character whose skill level has reached the upper limit is excluded from the lottery candidates of the first lottery, the numbers of the normal character and the appearance change character are both reduced from 5 to 4. With the exclusion of some of the lottery candidates, the individual winning probabilities of the remaining normal characters, the appearance-changing characters, and the second category characters are all set high. Also at this time, the ratio of the probability that one of the normal characters will be won, the probability that any of the appearance-changing characters will be won, and the probability that any of the second category characters will be won is the same as the initial state shown in FIG. The winning probabilities of each individual are adjusted so that the ratios are close to each other.

When the skill level of all game characters reaches the upper limit, all game characters are excluded from the lottery candidates of the first lottery, and there are no game characters that can be drawn. Therefore, in the lottery section 10, when the degree of strengthening (skill level) of the plurality of types of game characters reaches 10, the item including the additional effect item can be drawn in the second lottery section 12. Have the second lottery held.

FIG. 7 is a table showing an example of lottery conditions for the second lottery according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the second lottery, a set of 5 items will be won. In the second lottery, five items are arbitrarily selected from the items 1 to 5 by allowing duplication. The selection probability of each item when selecting a set of 5 is uniform. In addition, in the second lottery, there is a 1% probability that an appearance change ticket as an additional effect ticket will be won in addition to the set of 5 items. In the item lottery, instead of the above, 6 or more types of items may be targeted for lottery, and 5 items may be won so that there is no duplication of items.

When the appearance change ticket as an additional effect item is won and the appearance change ticket is applied by designating one of the first category characters by the user, the effect applicability unit 24 changes the appearance of the first category character. Make it possible. The user can arbitrarily select the first category character to which the appearance change ticket is applied from among the first category characters owned by the user and not owning the appearance change character. It should be noted that each appearance change ticket can be applied to one type of first category character.

Hereinafter, the processing of the game pre-processing unit 30 and the game execution unit 40 will be described with reference to a screen example of the game terminal 70. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a character selection screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. The character selection screen 51 is a screen for selecting a game character to be set in the game.

On the character selection screen 51, selectable first category character icons 512a to 512d, second category character icons 513a to 513b, and a decision button 514 are displayed. The icons of the first category character and the icons of the second category characters 512a to 512d and 513a to 513b include a display indicating whether the game character is a first category character or a second category character, and a display indicating a skill level. There is. One each of the first category character and the second category character can be selected, and a check mark is displayed on the selected one.

Further, the icon 512a of the first category character whose appearance can be changed is indicated by the “R” mark. The user can select a game character by tapping the icon of the character selection scene 51, and a check mark is displayed on the icon of the selected game character.

The character selection unit 31 displays the character selection screen 51 and selects a game character according to a user selection operation (tap of an icon) on the character selection screen 51. When the decision button 514 is instructed, the character selection unit 31 determines the selected game character as the game character to be used in the game.

The effect application unit 33 changes the appearance of the first category character used in the game according to the user's instruction when the appearance of the first category character selected by the character selection unit 31 can be changed.

9 and 10 are diagrams showing an example of a character screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. The user can change the appearance of the first category character on the character screen 52. 9 and 10 are examples of character screens of the first category characters whose appearance can be changed. The character screen 52 is provided with a first category character 521, a screen erase button 523, and an appearance change button 525. In FIG. 9, the normal character 521 is displayed, and in FIG. 10, the appearance change character 521'is displayed.

When the appearance change button 525 of FIG. 9 is instructed, the effect application unit 33 changes the normal character 521 to the appearance change character 521'and displays the character screen 52 of FIG. Further, when the appearance change button 525 of FIG. 10 is instructed, the effective main part 33 changes the appearance change character 521'to the normal character 521 and displays the character screen 52 of FIG. In the present embodiment, the appearance changing character 521'changes the appearance by adding a pattern to the normal character 521 (specifically, adding a tasuki to the body portion). The change in appearance is not limited to this, and for example, a part of the color of the normal character 521 may be changed.

The item selection unit 32 selects an item to be used in the game. When the item to be used is selected by the user, the effect corresponding to the selected item is generated in the game.

The game execution unit 40 executes the game described above. On the game execution screen, if the appearance of the game character has been changed, the appearance is reflected.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a process of strengthening the skill level of the game character according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the example of FIG. 11, this game character is duplicated and won until the skill level is 5, and the appearance-changing character is not won by that time. In the next first lottery, if the normal character wins (step S141), the normal character continues to win after that, and the skill level reaches the upper limit of 10 (step S142), the skills of other game characters On condition that all the levels have reached the upper limit, the lottery section 10 starts the second lottery by the second lottery section 12 instead of the first lottery in the first lottery section 11.

In the second lottery, when the appearance change ticket is won and the user applies the appearance change ticket to the game character (step S143), the effect applicability unit 24 puts the game character in a state in which the appearance can be changed. ..

On the other hand, when the skill level is 5, that is, when the appearance change character of the game character is elected in a state where the skill level has not reached the upper limit yet (step S144), the strengthening unit 23 of the game character While strengthening the skill level, the effect applicability unit 24 enables the appearance to be changed.

After that, when the game character is further elected, the effect applicability unit 24 enhances the skill level of the game character while maintaining the appearance changeable state of the game character (the enhancement unit 23 enhances the skill level of the game character (). Step S145).

FIG. 12 is a flow chart of an information processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention. The flow chart of FIG. 12 shows the flow of lottery and post-lottery processing. When the user gives a lottery instruction on the lottery screen of FIG. 3 (step S11), the lottery unit 10 determines whether or not the skill levels of all the game characters have reached the upper limit (step S12). If there are still game characters whose skill level has not reached the upper limit (NO in step S12), the first lottery unit 11 performs the first lottery (step S13).
