2. 2. The method of the present embodiment Next, the method of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the game system of the present embodiment, the player acquires an item (game medium such as a character or an item) within a range related to a specified position among the items arranged in the arrangement area in the gasha part, and acquires the item in the game part. You can play a game using the items you have made.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen (game image) generated by the game system of the present embodiment. The game screen GI is displayed on the display unit 190 (touch panel) of the terminal 10, and the player can perform operation input by performing an operation (touch operation) in which a contact medium such as a fingertip or a touch pen is brought into contact with the touch panel.

As shown in FIG. 4, in the Gashapon, the arrangement area PA, which is the area where the item IT is arranged, is displayed on the game screen GI. The placement area PA has a plurality of unit areas UA. Here, the arrangement area PA has 16 unit areas UA arranged in 4 rows and 4 columns. A maximum of one item IT is arranged in one unit area UA. In the example shown in FIG. 4, six items "A" to "F" are arranged in the six unit areas UA in the arrangement area PA. That is, the number of unit areas UAs (16) in the arrangement area PA is larger than the number of item ITs (6) arranged in the arrangement area PA.

The item IT arranged in the arrangement area PA and its arrangement position (arranged unit area UA) are determined by the lottery process (first lottery process). Further, the number of item IT to be arranged in the arrangement area PA may also be determined by the lottery process. Further, in the table information, a plurality of combinations of the item IT to be arranged in the arrangement area PA and the arrangement position thereof may be defined in advance, and the item IT may be arranged in the arrangement area PA with reference to the table information. In addition, the item IT to be arranged in the arrangement area PA is defined by the table information, the item IT to be arranged in the arrangement area PA is determined by referring to the table information, and the arrangement position of the item IT is determined by the lottery process. You may try to do it. Further, the number of item IT to be arranged in the arrangement area PA may be determined according to the player's level, the game result in the game part (for example, the game score), and the predetermined item (or in-game currency) consumed by the player. Good. For example, the higher the level of the player, the better the game result of the player, or when the player consumes a predetermined item, the number of item ITs to be arranged in the arrangement area PA may be increased.

When the player performs an operation of designating (touching) a position (any unit area UA) in the arrangement area PA, the range related to the specified position is determined. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the unit area UA in which the item "C" is arranged is specified by the player, and four consecutive unit area UAs in the same row as the unit area UA are the range related to the specified position. It has been decided as AR. The unit area UA having a predetermined positional relationship with the designated unit area UA may be determined as the range AR. For example, the unit area UA in the same row as the designated unit area UA may be determined as the range AR. Alternatively, the unit area UA around the designated unit area UA (adjacent in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the diagonal direction) may be determined as the range AR.

Also, the range AR for the specified position does not have to be one continuous area. For example, the range AR may be determined by assuming that the lower end and the upper end of the arrangement area PA are continuous and the right end and the left end of the arrangement area PA are continuous. The example shown in FIG. 6 is an example of setting the unit area UA around the designated unit area UA as the range AR, and the unit area UA in which the item "F" is arranged as a position in the arrangement area PA. Is specified. In this example, although there are unit areas UA above, to the upper right, to the upper left, to the right and to the left of the specified unit area UA, the unit areas are below, to the lower right and to the lower left of the specified unit area UA. Since there is no UA, it is assumed that the lower end and the upper end of the arrangement area PA are continuous, and the two apparently separated areas are determined as the range AR.

Further, the shape of the range AR related to the designated position may be a band shape continuous from the designated position, or a circular shape extending evenly in the radial direction from the designated position. Further, the size and shape of the range AR related to the specified position may be randomly determined, or may be determined according to the player's level, the game result, and the predetermined item consumed by the player. For example, the higher the level of the player, the better the game result of the player, or the larger the range AR determined when the player consumes a predetermined item (the number of unit areas UA determined as the range). May increase).

Further, the player may indirectly specify the position in the arrangement area PA instead of directly specifying the position in the arrangement area PA. For example, an object for designating a position in the arrangement area PA is automatically moved in the arrangement area PA according to a given algorithm, and the position of the object when the player performs a predetermined operation (the object is present). The unit area UA) may be designated as a position in the arrangement area PA. Further, the object may be moved in the arrangement area PA by the operation of the player (for example, the operation of throwing the object), and the position where the object stops may be designated as the position in the arrangement area PA. Further, the position designated by the player character (for example, the player character automatically controlled as the player's assistant) may be designated as the position in the arrangement area PA. Further, the position designated by the player and the position designated as the position in the range area PA (reference position used as a reference when setting the range AR) may be deviated. The amount of deviation between the position specified by the player and the reference position may be randomly determined, or may be determined according to the player's level, the game result, and a predetermined item consumed by the player. For example, the higher the player's level, the better the player's game result, or the smaller the amount of deviation between the position specified by the player and the reference position when the player consumes a predetermined item. You may.

Further, the player may manually specify (determine) the range AR. For example, the range AR of the size and shape specified by the player may be determined as the range AR related to the specified position, or the size and shape of the range AR may be automatically determined according to a predetermined algorithm (for example, periodically). It may be changed to determine (determine) the range AR when the player performs a predetermined operation as the range AR related to the specified position. Further, when the position in the arrangement area PA is specified by the player character, the size and shape of the range AR related to the specified position may be determined according to the type and parameters of the player character.

When the range AR is determined, the item IT in the range AR (items "C" "D" "E" in the example shown in FIG. 5 and items "A" "B" "C" in the example shown in FIG. 6 Whether or not to give "D" and "F") to the player is determined by a lottery process (second lottery process), and the winning item IT is given to the player based on the determination result. At this time, it is determined by lottery processing whether or not to give all the item ITs in the range AR to the player, and if the player wins, all the item ITs in the range AR are given to the player, and if the player is not won. May not grant item IT at all. Further, among the item ITs in the range AR, which item IT to be given to the player may be determined by the lottery process, or the number of item ITs to be given to the player may be determined by the lottery process. The item IT given to the player is deleted from the arrangement area PA.

When performing the lottery process for determining whether or not to grant the item IT in the range AR, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the item IT in the range AR can be distinguished from other item IT. Display (in different display modes (color, shape, size, effect display, etc.)) so that the item IT within the range AR can be grasped as a lottery target. In addition, when the item IT to be given to the player is determined by the lottery process, the determined item IT (winning item IT) is displayed so as to be distinguishable from other item IT (in a different display mode). Make it possible to grasp the winning item IT. In addition, at least a part of the item information of the winning item IT (parameters such as rarity, attribute, ability value, information indicating whether or not the item is owned by the player, etc.) is associated with the winning item IT. May be displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 7, it is shown that the items "C" and "E" are won among the item IT in the range AR, and the rarity of the item "C" is "R (rare)". It is shown that the rarity of item "E" is "N (normal)".

Further, when the number of item ITs in the range AR exceeds the upper limit number that can be given to the player, the second lottery process may be performed. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the number of item ITs in the range AR is 5, but when the maximum number of item ITs that can be given to the player is 3, the number of item ITs in the range AR is 5. Of these, three item ITs to be given to the player may be determined by lottery processing. The upper limit of the item IT that can be given to the player may be a fixed value or a randomly determined value. Further, the upper limit is determined according to the player's level, the game result, and the predetermined item consumed by the player. The higher the player's level, the better the player's game result, or the player selects the predetermined item. When consumed, the upper limit of the item IT that can be given to the player may be increased.

Further, whether or not to give the item IT in the range AR to the player may be determined by referring to the player information (level, information on the possessed item, etc.) of the player. For example, when the player's level has reached the level set for the item IT in the range AR, the item IT may be given to the player, or the winning probability of the item IT may be granted. (Probability of determining that the item IT is given to the player by the lottery process) may be increased. Further, when the player does not have the item IT in the range AR, the item IT may be given to the player, or the winning probability of the item IT may be increased.

In addition, the item IT is arranged in the arrangement area PA every time a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, each time the player consumes the in-game currency or a predetermined item, the item IT may be placed in the placement area PA, every time the predetermined game stage is cleared in the game part, or a predetermined norm. The item IT may be placed in the placement area PA each time. Further, each time the item IT is given to the player (the second lottery process is performed), the item IT may be arranged in the arrangement area PA.

When arranging item IT in the arrangement area PA, after erasing all item IT arranged in the arrangement area PA at that time (initializing the arrangement area PA), the first lottery process and table information are used. The item IT determined based on the item IT may be arranged in the arrangement area PA, or the item IT determined based on the first lottery process or table information is added to the arrangement area PA without initializing the arrangement area PA. It may be arranged. In addition, after determining the item IT (winning item) to be given to the player, the winning item is deleted from the placement area PA, and the placement position of the item IT in the placement area PA other than the winning item is changed (rearranged). It may be. Further, among the item ITs in the range AR, the item ITs other than the winning items may be rearranged. Further, the item IT determined based on the first lottery process or the table information may be arranged at a position corresponding to the parameters (attribute, rarity, ability value, etc.) of the item IT. For example, an item IT having a predetermined rarity or higher, an item IT having a high specific ability value (for example, attack power), or the like is placed in a predetermined position (a predetermined unit associated with the rarity or ability value) in the arrangement area PA. It may be arranged in the area UA). Further, a plurality of item ITs may be arranged at the same position (same unit area UA) in the arrangement area PA.

Further, the number of unit areas UA in the arrangement area PA may be fixed or may be changed. When changing the number of unit area UAs in the arrangement area PA, it is based on the player's level, the game result, a predetermined item consumed by the player, or an operation by the player (an operation to change the number of unit area UAs). The number of unit regions UA may be determined. For example, the higher the level of the player, the better the game result of the player, or when the player consumes a predetermined item, the number of unit area UAs may be increased, or the number of unit area UAs may be increased. It may be reduced. When the number of item ITs arranged in the arrangement area PA is small, the smaller the number of unit area UAs in the arrangement area PA, the more advantageous it is for the player (one position designation (designation of range AR) allows more item ITs. When there are many item ITs placed in the placement area PA, even if the number of unit area UAs in the placement area PA is large, it is unlikely to be disadvantageous to the player.

Further, not only the item information of the winning item IT may be displayed in association with the item IT, but also the item information of the item IT arranged in the arrangement area PA may be displayed in association with the item IT. In this case, the type of item information (information amount) to be displayed in association with the item IT and the number of item IT to display the item information should be determined according to the player's level, the game result, and the predetermined item consumed by the player. It may be. For example, the higher the player's level, the better the player's game result, or when the player consumes a predetermined item, the more types of item information are displayed in association with the item IT (for example, item information). Not only the rarity level, but also the attributes, ability values, and information indicating possessed / unowned items are displayed), and the number of item ITs to be displayed in association with item information is increased (associating with more item ITs). Item information may be displayed).

In the game system of the present embodiment, each time a predetermined condition is satisfied, the item IT is arranged in the arrangement area PA by lottery processing (or referring to the table information), and among the item IT arranged in the arrangement area PA. , Whether or not to give the player the item IT in the range AR related to the position specified by the player is determined by the lottery process (or referring to the player information), and the item IT is given to the player based on the judgment result. By doing so, it is possible to enhance the interest in obtaining the item IT. Further, the number of unit area UAs in the arrangement area PA is made larger than the number of item ITs arranged in the arrangement area PA to provide the unit area UA in which the item ITs are not arranged, or the item ITs to be arranged in the arrangement area PA. By changing the number of units in the placement area PA or the number of unit area UAs in the placement area PA, the strategicity when specifying the position in the placement area PA is enhanced, and the interest in obtaining the item IT is enhanced. Can be further enhanced. Further, by displaying the item information of the item IT arranged in the arrangement area PA, it is possible to give the player a judgment material when designating the position in the arrangement area PA.

3. 3. Processing Next, an example of processing of the game system (server 20) of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the arrangement unit 210 determines whether or not the predetermined conditions are satisfied (the in-game currency and the predetermined items are consumed, and the game result in the game part satisfies the predetermined conditions) (step S10). When the predetermined condition is satisfied (Y in step S10), the arrangement unit 210 determines the item IT (type, number, arrangement position) of the item IT to be arranged in the arrangement area PA by the first lottery process (Y). Step S11), the determined item IT is placed in the placement area PA (placed after being additionally placed or initialized) (step S12). The arrangement area PA in which the item IT is arranged is displayed on the display unit 190 of the terminal 10 of the player. Here, the display control unit 216 may control to display the item information of at least a part of the item IT arranged in the arrangement area PA in association with the item IT.

Next, the determination unit 212 determines whether or not the information indicating that the operation for designating the position in the arrangement area PA has been performed has been received from the terminal 10 (step S13), and when the information is received (step S13). In Y) of step S13, the range AR related to the position designated by the operation is determined (step S14). The size and shape of the range AR may be randomly determined, may be determined according to the player's level, game result, and predetermined items consumed, or may be determined based on the player's operation. Next, the determination unit 212 determines by the second lottery process whether or not to grant the item IT in the determined range AR to the player (step S15). Next, the granting unit 214 grants the item IT to the player based on the determination result of the determination unit 212 (step S16).

Next, the processing unit 200 determines whether or not to continue the processing (step S17), and if the processing is continued (Y in step S17), the process proceeds to step S10.

The present invention is not limited to the one described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, a term cited as a broad or synonymous term in a description in a specification or drawing can be replaced with a broad or synonymous term in another description in the specification or drawing.
