<Game description>
The server device 2, which is a computer device, provides the following game executed by the game device 3. Specifically, in the game device 3, a predetermined game including a plurality of stages (hereinafter, referred to as “quest”) in which a user operates a player character in a virtual game space via a touch pad 350 to proceed is executed. Will be done.

In the present embodiment, the game executed by the game device 3 has a quest part that is set as a character to be used based on the operation of the user and the player character operated by the user subdues a monster that is an enemy character. For example, in one quest in the game, if the player character defeats the monster within the time limit, the condition for clearing the quest is satisfied. This quest progresses when the user operates the touchpad 350.

In addition to the quest part, this game also has a medium selection (gacha) part. In this gacha part, one of a plurality of types of game media is selected. Specifically, in the gacha part, information about a game medium such as a character with stronger equipment or a higher ability value is associated with user identification information so that the user can advance the game in an advantageous manner.

In the gacha part of this embodiment, a plurality of gacha events are prepared. The gacha event includes, for example, a gacha event that is held for a limited time, or a gacha event that is held all the time. After selecting one of the gacha events, the user can execute the gacha based on the selection list (gacha list) prepared for the gacha event.

In addition, in each gacha event, a single gacha that selects one character with one selection request (gacha request) and a 10-series gacha that selects 10 characters with one gacha request are prepared. ing. Below, an example of a one-shot gacha is described.

The game medium selected by the gacha in this embodiment is a character. In addition, each character given to the user is provided with an attribute and a rarity (rareness) in addition to a physical strength value and a skill value as parameter types.

For example, in the present embodiment, the attributes set for the character include fire attribute, water attribute, wind attribute, and the like as parameters, and the rarity includes normal, rare, super rare, super super rare, and the like. It is provided as. Any one of the attributes and rarity is set for each character.

In the following, associating the character with the user's identification information and transmitting the information about the character to which the user's identification information is associated to the user's game device 3 may be referred to as "giving the character to the user".

The user can set the character obtained by the gacha as the character to be used.

<Hardware configuration>
With reference to FIG. 1, the hardware configuration and functional configuration of the server device 2 and the hardware configuration and functional configuration of the game device 3 on which the game is executed will be described.

A user account is assigned to the game device 3 in association with the game device 3. This user account is managed as user account information (user identification information).

When the game device 3 communicates with the server device 2 via the communication network 4, the user identification information is transmitted from the game device 3. The transmitted user identification information is subjected to predetermined authentication in the server device 2. As a result, communication between the server device 2 and the game device 3 becomes possible.

In addition, the user is given a game account when playing the game. The game account is managed as game account information.

<Hardware configuration of server device 2>
As shown in FIG. 1, the server device 2 includes a control unit 20, a storage unit 21, and a network interface 22.

The storage unit 21 and the network interface 22 are connected to the control unit 20 of the server device 2 via the bus 200.

The control unit 20 controls the operation of the server device 2.

The storage unit 21 is mainly composed of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a ROM (Read Only Memory).

The storage unit 21 stores, for example, a distribution program and data for distributing a game program for executing a game played on the game device 3.

The network interface 22 is connected to the communication network 4 in order to send and receive data between the server device 2 and the game device 3.

<Functional configuration of the control unit 20 of the server device 2>
As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 20 of the server device 2 functions as a collation means 201, a game progress management means 202, a medium selection execution means 203, and a communication means 204 by executing the computer program of the present invention.

<Explanation of collation means 201>
The collation means 201 authenticates the user account by using the user identification information transmitted from the game device 3.

<Explanation of game progress management means 202>
The game progress management means 202 receives an operation signal from the user of the game device 3 and manages the progress of the main part of the game. Specifically, the game progress management means 202, for example, operates the character in the virtual game space and manages the physical strength value of the character.

Further, the game progress management means 202 transmits the progress status of the main part of the game to the game device 3 via the communication means 204 described later.

<Explanation of medium selection executing means 203>
The medium selection executing means 203 executes the gacha when the gacha request information described later is received from the game device 3 via the communication means 204.

Specifically, when a gacha is requested after the cell 343 described later is designated by the user's operation, the medium selection executing means 203 uses the character (winning character) associated with the designated cell 343 in advance. ) Is generated (information about which character is associated with which cell 343).

As shown in FIG. 3, the mass 343 includes a start mass 343a specified when the user first requests a gacha, and a plurality of selections specified when the user requests a gacha after the start mass 343a is specified. It is composed of an execution mass 343b. That is, among the squares 343, the squares 343 other than one start square 343a are the selection execution squares 343b.

Further, one winning character is associated with one square 343 based on the gacha list.

The gacha list used for gacha is prepared for each gacha event.

Further, for example, the user can select the gacha event 1 by pressing the virtual button 341 in FIG. 2, and can select the gacha event 2 by pressing the virtual button 342. A gacha list for the gacha event 1 is prepared for the gacha event 1, and a gacha list for the gacha event 2 is prepared for the gacha event 2.

When the user selects one gacha event for the first time, the medium selection executing means 203 determines one route pattern from a plurality of route patterns by lottery.

In this embodiment, the route pattern is determined for each user.

In the example of the route pattern of FIGS. 3 and 4, the start mass 343a is connected to the five selection execution masses 343b.

A path is formed in the five selective execution cells 343b connected to the start mass 343a in a direction away from the start mass 343a. A plurality of selection execution cells 343b are arranged on the route.

Each of the plurality of squares 343 is connected to at least one other square 343 on the route. In this way, the route pattern is formed in a tree structure.

Further, when the user first selects one gacha event, the medium selection execution means 203 uses the mass 343 on the route (start mass 343a and selection execution mass 343b) based on the route pattern determined for each user. Determine the character (winning character) associated with. Specifically, as described above, the medium selection executing means 203 associates all the characters included in the gacha list prepared for the gacha event with any of the squares 343.

At this time, the medium selection execution means 203 has the highest rarity in, for example, the selection execution mass 343b (the selection execution mass 343b in which the selection execution mass 343b is not provided ahead of it), which is the end point mass of the route on the route. It is also possible to make it easier for extremely rare characters to be associated.

These path patterns and winning characters are stored in the storage unit 21.

Further, the medium selection executing means 203 determines the suggestion effect of the square 343 based on the winning character associated with the square 343. In FIG. 3, it is suggested that the darker the color of the square 343, the higher the rarity of the associated character may be.

As shown in FIG. 3, it is more likely that the dark-colored square 343 is associated with a character with a higher rarity, but the character with a higher rarity is not necessarily the winning character.

For example, when the rarity of the winning character associated with a certain square 343 is extremely rare, there is a 70% probability that the rarity of the winning character associated with that square 343 is suggested to be extremely rare. The probability that the rarity is suggested to be normal is set to 10% or the like.

The user can see the suggestion effect of the squares 343 on the route displayed on the liquid crystal screen 340 and specify the squares 343 in order along the arrows on the route. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the user cannot specify the square 343 in the opposite direction of the arrow.

When the user designates one square 343, the medium selection requesting means 302 of the game device 3 transmits the information (mass designation information) of the designated square 343 and the gacha request information to the server device 3.

Further, when the medium selection executing means 203 receives the mass designation information and the gacha request information transmitted from the game device 3, the media selection execution means 203 generates information about the winning character from the information of the character associated with the designated mass. Then, the information about the winning character is transmitted to the game device 3 via the communication means 205.

That is, when the mass 343 is designated by the user's operation and the gacha is requested, the medium selection executing means 203 grants the user the winning medium associated with the designated mass 343 in advance.

Further, the medium selection executing means 203 executes the mass specification non-designation process for the mass 343 so that the user cannot specify the mass 343 once specified at the next gacha request. Specifically, the medium selection executing means 203 deactivates the square 343 once designated, and then prevents the user from designating the square 343. In the example of FIG. 4, the black square 343 is the square 343 on which the square non-designation processing has been executed.

As described above, according to the present invention, once the route pattern and the winning character are determined, the selection process is not executed even if a gacha request is subsequently made. Therefore, the processing load of the server device 2 can be reduced.

When the user requests the "single-shot gacha" after selecting the gacha event and the mass 343 (when the virtual button 344 in FIG. 5 is touched), the medium selection executing means 203 is performed once by the user. Select one character in the gacha request.

FIG. 6 is an example showing a game screen after the gacha is executed. In the character display frame 345, the character name selected by the gacha (“character G” in the example of FIG. 6), the attribute of the character (“water attribute” in the example of FIG. 6), and the rarity of the character ( In the example of FIG. 6, "normal") is displayed.

<Explanation of communication means 204>
The communication means 204 transmits and receives user identification information, game programs, game account information, game data such as billing items, and the like to and from the game device 3.

Further, the communication means 204 receives the operation signal by the user, the mass designation information, the gacha request information, and the like from the game device 3. The gacha request information received by the communication means 204 is transmitted to the medium selection execution means 203.

Further, the communication means 204 transmits the winning character or the like generated by the medium selection execution means 203 to the game device 3.

<Hardware configuration of game device 3>
As shown in FIG. 1, the game device 3 is a terminal device such as a smartphone, which incorporates a speaker 330, a liquid crystal screen 340, and a touch pad 350. In the game device 3, the game progresses based on the game program and data related to the game distributed from the server device 2.

Further, the game device 3 can perform data communication with the server device 2 via a communication network 4 such as the Internet or a LAN.

The game device 3 includes a control unit 30, a storage unit 31, a network interface 32, an audio processing unit 33, a graphic processing unit 34, and an operation unit 35.

The storage unit 31, the network interface 32, the audio processing unit 33, the graphic processing unit 34, and the operation unit 35 are connected to the control unit 30 via the bus 300.

The control unit 30 controls the operation of the game device 3.

The storage unit 31 is mainly composed of an HDD, a RAM, and a ROM. The storage unit 31 stores, for example, a game program and data for executing a game.

The network interface 32 is connected to the communication network 4 in order to send and receive data between the game device 3 and the server device 2. As a result, the game program and game data are downloaded to the game device 3.

The audio processing unit 33 reproduces and synthesizes digital game sounds according to the instructions of the control unit 30. Further, a speaker 330 is connected to the audio processing unit 33. The game sound is output from the speaker 330.

The graphic processing unit 34 draws a game image including a virtual game space, a player character, and the like in a moving image format according to the instruction of the control unit 30. The game image drawn in the moving image format by the graphic processing unit 34 is displayed on the liquid crystal screen 340 as a game screen.

An operation signal from the user is input to the operation unit 35. In the present embodiment, an operation signal from the user is input to the operation unit 35 via the touch pad 350, which is an input position detection device. By touching the touch pad 350, the user selects a character, selects a quest, operates a player character, and the like.

<Functional configuration of the control unit 30 of the game device 3>
By executing the game program downloaded from the server device 2, the control unit 30 of the game device 3 functions as the game execution means 301, the medium selection request means 302, and the communication means 303, as shown in FIG.

<Explanation of game execution means 301>
The game execution means 301 causes the game device 3 to execute a game including a quest part and a gacha part based on the operation of the touch pad 350 by the user.

The game execution means 301 advances the game based on an operation signal from the user, information transmitted from the game progress management means 202 of the server device 2, and the like.

Specifically, the game execution means 301 reads data such as game space objects and textures included in the game data from the storage unit 31 to generate a two-dimensional or three-dimensional virtual game space.

Further, the game execution means 301 arranges a player character in the virtual game space. Then, the game execution means 301 controls the behavior of the player character in the virtual game space according to the operation of the touch pad 350 by the user and the progress status of the game transmitted from the game progress management means 202.

Further, the game execution means 301 generates information for displaying the virtual game space, the player character, and the virtual operation button as a game screen on the liquid crystal screen 340. According to this information, the graphic processing unit 34 draws a game image on the liquid crystal screen 340.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 2, 5, and 6, the liquid crystal screen 340 displays a "user rank" and an item "stone" (number of stones) from the upper part of the screen. In addition, this item (stone) is given to the user by the user's purchase or by a login bonus or the like.

Further, the game execution means 301 receives information on the winning character associated with the user's identification information, and then displays the information on the liquid crystal screen 340.

<Explanation of medium selection requesting means 302>
The medium selection requesting means 302 generates mass designation information when the mass 343 is designated based on the operation of the user.

Further, the medium selection requesting means 302 consumes a necessary amount of items (stones) based on the user's operation to make a gacha request. When the gacha request is made, the medium selection request means 302 generates gacha request information.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the medium selection request means 302 generates gacha request information when the user presses the button 344.

These mass designation information and gacha request information are transmitted to the server device 2 via the communication means 303.

Then, after the server device 2 receives the mass designation information and the gacha request information, the server device 2 executes the corresponding gacha.

<Explanation of communication means 303>
The communication means 303 receives information such as a game program related to the game and information about the winning character from the server device 2, for example.

Further, the communication means 303 includes, for example, user identification information, game account information, new game data download request information, user operation signal, mass designation information, gacha request information, and the like, based on the user's operation. Information is transmitted to the server device 3.

<Explanation of tree structure gacha processing>
Hereinafter, the tree structure gacha processing of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 7. The control means and the processing procedure described later are examples, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. The design of the processing procedure and the like can be appropriately changed without changing the gist of the present invention.

First, the medium selection requesting means 302 of the game device 3 selects a gacha event based on the user's operation (step S1).

Then, the medium selection execution means 203 of the server device 2 determines whether or not the selected gacha event is the first selected gacha event (step S2).

When it is determined that the selected gacha event is the first selected gacha event (S2: YES), the medium selection executing means 203 determines the route pattern and the winning character (step S3), and the storage unit 21 Stores the route pattern and the winning character.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the selected gacha event is not the selected gacha event for the first time (S2: NO), the medium selection executing means 203 specifies the route pattern and mass already determined from the storage unit 21. The mass 343 from which the non-processing has been executed and the winning character are read out (step S11).

Then, the medium selection executing means 203 transmits information about the route to the game device 3 via the communication means 205. As a result, the paths shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are displayed on the liquid crystal screen 340 of the game device 3 (step S4).

Then, the medium selection requesting means 302 designates the mass 343 (start mass 343a or selection execution mass 343b) based on the operation of the user (step S5). As a result, the medium selection requesting means 302 generates mass designation information.

Then, the medium selection request means 302 executes the gacha request based on the user's operation (step S6). As a result, the mass designation information and the gacha request information are transmitted to the game device 3.

Then, the medium selection executing means 203 releases the association between the amount of stones required for the gacha request and the user's identification information. This consumes the required amount of stones (step S7).

Next, the medium selection executing means 203 generates information on the winning character, using the character associated with the designated square 343 in advance as the winning character (step S8).

Then, the medium selection executing means 203 transmits the information of the winning character to the game device 3 via the communication means 205. As a result, the winning character is given to the user (step S9).

Next, the medium selection executing means 203 executes a mass specification non-specifiable process for preventing the designated mass 343 from being selected at the next gacha request (step S10), and stores the information in the storage unit 21. After that, the tree structure gacha processing of the present invention is completed.
By the above procedure, the tree structure gacha processing of the present invention is executed.

To summarize the above, the computer program of this embodiment is
Server device 2
Media selection execution means 203, which determines as a winning character for assigning any character to the user, triggered by a request for a gacha based on the user's operation.
To function as
It is composed of a start mass 343a specified when the user first requests a gacha, and a plurality of selection execution cells 343b specified when the user requests a gacha after the start mass 343a is specified. A plurality of squares 343 are arranged on a predetermined route,
The start mass 343a is connected to the five selective execution masses 343b.
Each of the plurality of squares 343 is connected to at least one other square 343 on the route.
The medium selection executing means 203 assigns the winning character associated with the designated square 343 in advance to the user based on the fact that the squares 343 are sequentially designated along the route for the gacha request by the user's operation. To do.

<Effect of invention>
According to the computer program of the present embodiment, it is possible to provide an interesting gacha.

[Other Embodiments]
Unlike the above-described embodiment, when the medium selection executing means satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, when the user performs a predetermined operation or when the user charges, the game progress status becomes predetermined. In the case), the order of the selected execution cells on the route may be changed.

To change the order of the selected execution cells on the route, the winning character associated with one cell is replaced with the winning character of another cell without changing the route pattern (position of the cell). Execute.

Further, the arrangement order of the selected execution cells on the route may be changed by changing the route pattern (position of the cells) without changing the winning character associated with a certain cell.

In addition, the medium selection execution means may change the order of the selection execution cells on the route so that a character having a rarity equal to or higher than the super rare can be easily selected by the gacha when a predetermined condition is satisfied. it can.

Further, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the next selection execution cell may be skipped. That is, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the user may be able to specify the next selection execution cell of the next selection execution cell.

In the above embodiment, an example is described in which one route pattern is selected from a plurality of route patterns, and the character having the highest rarity is easily associated with the end point square of the route (the square having no square at the end). However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the medium selection executing means creates a route, when a super-rare character having the highest rarity is determined by lottery, that square may be set as the terminal square.

Furthermore, when creating a route, the number of end-point cells may be determined first, and the route to the end-point cell may be automatically generated at random.

In creating the route, a lottery for the number of routes extending from the start square, a lottery for the number of squares included in each route, and a lottery for the route pattern for each route (including the lottery for the shortest distance from the start square to the end square). ) And the lottery of the winning characters associated with each square may be executed in appropriate combination.

Further, for each gacha event, the number of times the end point square is reached may be accumulated, and when the cumulative number of times the end point square is reached exceeds a predetermined number, a privilege (for example, a high rarity character) may be given to the user. For example, if the route pattern determined by the lottery (the shortest distance from the start mass to the end point cell) is short, the end point cell will be reached earlier. As a result, the user can easily increase the cumulative number of times the terminal cell is reached.

In this case, since the route pattern (the shortest distance from the start cell to the end cell) determined by the lottery is different for each route, the user suggests which route to take, the route pattern and the winning character for each cell. It can be judged from.

When reaching the end point cell, the user may be able to specify in order the cells that have not yet passed in the same route. In addition, the user may be able to return to the starting point and specify another route, or the determined winning character and the route pattern are reset, and various lottery such as the route pattern is performed to determine the winning character again. May be implemented.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the route route (arrow in FIG. 3) is determined is described, but the route route may not be determined. In this case, the user can sequentially select the next selection execution cell connected on the route.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example of traveling along the path along the direction of the arrow is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even where there is no arrow, the hidden route may be displayed when a predetermined condition is met (for example, when a predetermined quest is cleared).

In this case, the medium selection executing means also determines the winning character for each of the squares set in the hidden path, and hides the information of the square and the winning character until a predetermined condition is satisfied. Can be done.

In addition, all the cells and routes may be displayed in advance so that the user can confirm them, or some of them may be hidden. For example, even if the start square and the squares specified by the user within a predetermined range (two squares ahead, etc.) are set as the displayable range, and the user cannot confirm what kind of squares are arranged outside the displayable range. Good. As a result, the display range increases as the user advances the square, and the user can be given the pleasure of searching for a route.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example of a one-shot gacha in which one winning character is given by one gacha request is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can be applied to a 10-series gacha in which 10 winning characters are given by one gacha request. In this case, for example, it is sufficient that the user can arbitrarily select 10 squares in order along the route and execute the gacha request.

Furthermore, an arbitrary number of squares can be specified by the user, and the amount of stones consumed may be determined based on the specified number to execute the gacha.

Further, unlike the above-described embodiment, the winning character associated with the designated square in advance may not be associated with the user's identification information. Specifically, when a square is designated by the user's operation, the media selection execution means executes a media lottery to select one of the characters, and associates the selected character with the designated square as a winning character. The winning medium associated with the designated square may be given to the user.

Further, unlike the above-described embodiment, a privilege mass may be arranged on the route in which a predetermined parameter related to the game is increased when instructed by a user operation. In this case, the user may simply specify the privilege mass, for example, the level of the character may be raised, the skill value of the character may be raised, or the character may learn a special technique.

In addition, the amount of items (stones) required to specify the square may be different. For example, the required amount of stones may be 20 in a square where a character of extremely rare or higher is easy to win, and 10 stones may be required in other squares.

In addition, the types of items required to specify the squares may be different. For example, in the squares where characters of super rare or higher are easy to win, the condition is the consumption of stones (paid stones) obtained by the user, and in other squares, there is no condition for the type of stone (obtained by login bonus etc.) (Including free stones).

The amount or type of items required to specify the mass may differ for each route.

Further, unlike the above-described embodiment, a route dedicated to a specific parameter such as a route dedicated to the light attribute, a route dedicated to the dark attribute, and a route dedicated to the extremely rare or higher may be provided.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which a route pattern and a winning character are determined for each user is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the users may be grouped according to a predetermined rule, and the route pattern and the winning character may be determined for each group of users.

Further, although the route pattern is the same for all users, the winning character associated with the mass may be different for each user.

Further, when the mass non-specifiable processing is executed for, for example, 80% or more of all the cells on the route, the medium selection executing means determines the route pattern and the winning character based on the user's operation. It may be possible to perform a reset lottery (reset or initialization).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which the route pattern and the timing at which the winning character is determined are when the user first selects a gacha event, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the route pattern and the winning character may be determined when a gacha event occurs or when the user makes a gacha request for the first time based on the gacha event.

Furthermore, for example, when a certain gacha event occurs, only the route pattern is determined first, and then when the user requests a gacha for the first time based on the gacha event, a lottery is executed and the winning character is determined. May be good.

Further, the medium selection executing means may give a predetermined privilege to the user when the route pattern follows a predetermined rule. For example, when a plurality of normal characters are arranged in succession in the route pattern, one of them may be changed to a character of extremely rare or higher. Further, if there is one normal character between two extremely rare characters, the normal character may be changed to a character of extremely rare or higher.

In addition, when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when a predetermined quest is cleared), the medium selection execution means selects a winning character associated with the start mass from characters of extreme rare or higher. You may.

Further, the medium selection executing means may be distributed so that the character types (for example, rarity, attributes) are not partially consolidated in determining the winning character to be associated with the mass. On the contrary, the medium selection executing means may be arranged so that the types of characters are partially fixed in determining the order of the winning characters on the route.

Further, the medium selection executing means may select 30 characters from the gacha list in which 50 characters are stored by lottery, and associate those characters with the squares of the route.

Further, unlike the above-described embodiment, the target suggested by the suggestion mass is not limited to the rarity of the character. For example, the suggestion mass may suggest a character attribute or a character name.

The medium selection executing means may determine the suggestion effect of the squares based on the winning characters associated with each of the squares.

Further, the suggestion effect may be determined only for a part of the square (for example, a character with high rarity). Whether or not to produce a suggestion effect may be determined with a predetermined probability for each square. The squares that are decided to suggest are managed as rarity suggestion squares.

As another example
Computer equipment,
A medium selection execution means for determining any game medium as a winning medium for associating with the user's identification information, triggered by a request for medium selection based on a user's operation.
To function as
A plurality of cells designated when the user requests the medium selection are arranged on a predetermined route.
Each of the plurality of cells is connected to at least one other cell on the path.
The media selection executing means identifies the winning medium associated with the designated square based on the user designating the square for the media selection request in order along the route. Associate with information,
I have a computer program.

In this case, the user can determine the start mass. Therefore, a more interesting gacha is provided.

Further, unlike the present embodiment, the user can specify the mass (route) not only when the user requests a gacha. The user may specify the square, for example, when the game progress meets a predetermined condition (for example, when the quest is cleared).

In this case, each time the game (quest) progresses, the player advances at least one square, and the user collects the winning characters set in that square. Then, a gacha list is composed of the characters collected by this, and a gacha using this configured gacha list is generated at a predetermined timing (at the user's gacha request, at the end of the gacha event, or when 100 winning characters are collected). Will be executed.

As a result, the user needs to proceed with the game in order to generate a gacha list, and enjoys increasing the characters that may be given by the gacha.

In this case, the mass (route pattern) and the game progress (quest content) may be linked. That is, the game progress (quest) to be challenged also branches along the branch of the route such as stage 1, stage 2, stage 3 or stage 4, stage 5, stage 6 or 7. As a result, the user can provide a game in which the user challenges the game progress (quest) corresponding to the winning character that he / she wants to add to the gacha list, such as relying on the suggestion of the winning character.

In addition, it is possible to increase the difficulty level of the quest of the square to which the winning character of high rarity is associated. In addition, difficult quests can consume more game parameters (stamina) or items (tickets, hearts, etc.) required to perform the quest.

In the above embodiment, the game medium is a character, but the game medium may be an item such as a weapon or equipment, or an item (stone) consumed when executing a gacha.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the computer device is a server device is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one user's game device may function as a server device. In this case, one game device and the other game device may be connected by BLUETOOTH (registered trademark). In addition, the gacha may be executed by the game device alone.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which the game device is a terminal device such as a smartphone is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The game device may be, for example, a stationary game device to which a display and a controller are externally connected, or a personal computer.
