[4] Overview In the present embodiment, a game event generated by a combination of a plurality of characters is controlled. For example, from a plurality of characters owned (owned) by the player A, a predetermined number for a battle (for example). (5) characters are selected to form a group of player A, and a match (for example, a soccer game match) is played against another group (a group of other players or a group controlled by a CPU). .. Each character belonging to the group is controlled to grow and grow so that the ability (level, experience value) is improved according to the progress of the game and the result of the game.

In particular, the server device 10 of the present embodiment manages a cooperation parameter K (in a broad sense, referred to as a "predetermined parameter") indicating a relationship between a character and another character. The cooperation parameter K is a parameter indicating the degree of attachment and interest from one character to the other character. The cooperation parameter K is a parameter associated with all other characters for one character, and is set for each character.

For example, when the server device 10 organizes a group with the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE owned by the player A, as shown in FIG. 4, for each character, cooperation from one character to the other character Set the parameter K. Further, the cooperation parameter K can be increased by the character executing a given program (event program such as a match, practice, break, etc.) with another character.

Then, the server device 10 selects one combination composed of at least two characters using the cooperation parameter K, and executes a game event based on the selected combination. For example, when there are characters PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE, as shown in FIG. 5, there are 10 combinations composed of the two characters.

Then, the server device 10 selects the combination having the highest total value X of the cooperation parameter K of each character of the elements of the combination from all the combinations (for example, 10 combinations in the example of FIG. 5). Then, assuming that the combination of the characters having the highest total value X is the combination of the characters PA and PB, the server device 10 sends an event related to the characters PA and PB based on the combination of the selected characters PA and PB. Execute. For example, a game event for reproducing a moving image (animation) in which characters PA and PB appear is executed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, one combination is selected based on each predetermined parameter for each other character of each character, so that various game events considering the combination of characters can be generated. It can improve the fun of the game event. Further, the player himself / herself can enjoy the relationship (for example, compatibility) between one character and another character, which is an element of the combination, and the game event according to the relationship from the standpoint of a third party. Further, according to the present embodiment, in order to raise the cooperation parameter K for other characters of the character, it is possible to increase the motivation for the player to perform a given program (event program such as a match or practice). Hereinafter, the processing contents of the present embodiment will be described in detail.

[5] Description of Group In the server device 10 of the present embodiment, each player can construct (organize) a group composed of a predetermined number (for example, 5) of characters.

In this embodiment, a group is constructed by characters, but a group may be constructed by a game medium such as a card or an item. The group can also be referred to by other titles such as "deck", "team", "military", "military", and the like.

Then, each player selects a group to be used in the battle game, and plays the battle game using each character constituting the group.

[5.1] Character Information Next, focusing on player A, a list of characters possessed by the player A will be described. FIG. 6 shows an example of a list of possessed characters of player A stored in the player information storage unit 146.

In the player information storage unit 146, one or a plurality of character IDs (character identification information) possessed by the player A and parameters (rareity, level, etc.) of each character are associated with the identification information (player ID) of the player A. Etc.) and are memorized. The server device 10 stores a list of possessed characters for each player.

Rarity is a parameter that indicates the rarity of a character. The higher the rarity, the lower the probability that the player can acquire it in a game or the like.

The level is a parameter indicating the rank (class) of the character. The higher the level of the character, the more efficiently the game can proceed. "Proceeding the game efficiently" means that the offensive power and the defensive power are high, and the offensive effect and the defensive effect are high.

The experience value is a parameter indicating the frequency with which the character is used in the game (competition game). When the experience value of the character exceeds the threshold value, the level of the character increases.

The parameters of each character include the cooperation parameter K for other characters. In addition, the parameters of each character may include the character's offensive power, defensive power, physical strength value, and the like. The physical strength value is also called a life or HP value.

[5.2] Group Organization The group (deck) of the present embodiment is composed of five characters (a predetermined number of examples) selected from the characters owned by the player.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the server device 10 stores the group identification information (group ID) and the character IDs of the components of the group in association with the player identification information (player ID).

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the server device 10 displays the group organization screen GW on the display unit 290 of the terminal device 20 of the player A. The player A can replace (add, delete) the characters of the components of the group ID (for example, DA-1) by inputting (for example, touch input) the button B1 of the organization. That is, the server device 10 performs a process of organizing the characters of the constituent elements of the group based on the operation input from the player A.

The server device 10 stores group information for each player. Further, in the game of the present embodiment, one player can construct a plurality of groups.

Further, the group information stored in the storage unit of the terminal device 20 of the player A is controlled to be synchronized with the group information associated with the player A stored in the player information storage unit 146 of the server device 10.

The group of the present embodiment is composed of seven characters (a predetermined number of examples) selected from the characters owned by the player, and is used as an operation input of the player when executing an event program such as a game. Based on this, it may be controlled to select 5 characters to be used in the battle game (match) from the 7 characters.

[6] Description of Parameter Management [6.1] Description of Linkage Parameters The server device 10 of the present embodiment associates a plurality of characters with each other and sets a linkage parameter K from the character to another character for each other character. Manage to. The cooperation parameter K may be referred to as a "predetermined parameter", a "relationship parameter", or a "compatibility parameter".

FIG. 4 shows an example of the cooperation parameter K set in association with each character. For example, in the server device 10, when the characters belonging to the group of the player A are the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE, as shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of characters, respectively, are PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE. The cooperation parameter K is set in association with. The initial value of the linkage parameter K is "0" (an example of a predetermined value).

In the example of FIG. 4, "100" is set in the cooperation parameter K from the character PA to the character PB, "80" is set in the cooperation parameter K from the character PA to the character PC, and "80" is set from the character PA to the character PD. "110" is set in the cooperation parameter K, and "20" is set in the cooperation parameter K from the character PA to the character PE.

The server device 10 sets the cooperation parameter K for other characters for each character owned by the player. For example, when the player A owns a character other than the five characters shown in FIG. 4, the number of settings of the cooperation parameter K increases. That is, assuming that the number of characters owned by the player is N, the number of types from one character to another is N! / (N-2)! Will be. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, assuming that the number of characters possessed by the player A is "5", 5! / (5-2)! = 20, and there are 20 types from one character to another. That is, 20 cooperation parameters K are set.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the display screen GW2 that displays the cooperation parameter K for each of the other characters PB, PC, PD, and PE of one character PA. Although not shown, a display screen for displaying the cooperation parameter K for each of the other characters PA, PC, PD, and PE based on the character PB, and each of the other characters PA, PB, PD, and PE based on the character PC. A display screen that displays the linkage parameter K for each of the other characters PA, PB, PC, and PE based on the character PD, a display screen that displays the linkage parameter K for each of the other characters PA, PB, PC, and PE, and other characters PA, PB, and PC that are based on the character PE. There is also a display screen that displays the cooperation parameter K for each PD.

That is, the player can confirm the cooperation parameter K of each of the other characters with respect to the character for each character. The player A can recognize for which character the cooperation parameter K is high or low.

Further, the server device 10 sets the cooperation parameter K for each of the other characters for each character owned by the player, and stores each cooperation parameter K in the parameter storage unit 148.

Further, the server device 10 stores each cooperation parameter K of each character owned by the player in the parameter storage unit 148 for each player.

Further, each cooperation parameter K stored in the storage unit 270 of the terminal device 20 of the player is controlled to be synchronized with each cooperation parameter K associated with the player stored in the parameter storage unit 148 of the server device 10. To do.

[6.2] Description of Fluctuations in Coordination Parameters The server device 10 changes at least one of the cooperation parameters for each of the other characters of the plurality of characters according to the progress of the game.

For example, the server device 10 plays a game part (for example, a battle game (match) in which characters compete with each other in a group) different from the game part in which a given game event (for example, a game event for reproducing a moving image) occurs. At least one of the cooperation parameters for each of the other characters of the plurality of characters may be changed according to the progress of the game (period, period for the character to practice, period for the character to rest, etc.).

For example, the server device 10 sets a predetermined value in the cooperation parameter K of each character forming the group when the characters forming the group play a battle game (match) and the group of players wins the battle game. Is added.

Further, when one or more characters selected based on the operation input of the player execute a given program such as practice or break, the server device 10 determines the cooperation parameter K of the one or more characters. Add the values.

Further, in the server device 10, a plurality of characters who have performed the same action at the same time mutually change each cooperation parameter for both. In this way, it becomes easy to understand how the cooperation parameters are changed, and it is possible to encourage the player to play a game for changing the cooperation parameters.

Here, the "time" means a period, for example, an execution period of an action program (for example, a battle game). Further, the same action is, for example, one of a plurality of types of action programs (for example, a competition game (match game) program, a practice program, a break program, etc.) for a plurality of characters. To run the same program.

For example, the server device 10 executes the same program (for example, a competition game program) for one character and the other character in a common game space, thereby making the one character and the other character. On the other hand, the same action is performed at the same time, and the cooperation parameter K for both one character and the other character is increased.

Hereinafter, a more specific description will be given. For convenience of explanation, the cooperation parameters of the characters PA and PB owned by the player A will be described. Further, the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) from the character PA to the character PB is used, and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) from the character PB to the character PA is used.

First, at the time of initial setting of the game, the server device 10 sets the linkage parameter K (PA → PB) from the character PA to the character PB and the linkage parameter K (PB → PA) from the character PB to the character PA to initial values (for example). , 0).

Then, the server device 10 has a part type of a game part different from the game part in which a given game event (for example, a game event for reproducing a moving image) occurs (for example, a battle game (match), practice, break). The degree of increase in the cooperation parameter K is changed according to the above. The player can select which part to execute based on the operation input.

For example, when the server device 10 selects the character PA and the character PB based on the operation input of the player A and receives the execution instruction of the "match", the server device 10 adds a value to the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) from the character PA to the character PB. I = 20 is added, and the added value I = 20 is added to the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) from the character PB to the character PA.

Further, when the server device 10 selects the character PA and the character PB based on the operation input of the player A and receives the execution instruction of "practice", the server device 10 adds a value to the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) from the character PA to the character PB. I = 10 is added, and the added value I = 10 is added to the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) from the character PB to the character PA).

Further, when the server device 10 selects the character PA and the character PB based on the operation input of the player A and receives the execution instruction of the "break", the server device 10 adds a value to the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) from the character PA to the character PB. I = 30 is added, and the added value I = 30 is added to the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) from the character PB to the character PA).

The server device 10 may add the same numerical values to the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) from the character PA to the character PB and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) from the character PB to the character PA. , Different numbers may be added.

For example, a coefficient Z (0 ≦ Z) is set for each character. Then, the coefficient Z is multiplied by the predetermined addition value I, the value after multiplication is set as the final addition value IL, and the addition value IL is added to the cooperation parameter K. For example, it is assumed that the addition value I = 20, the coefficient Z = 1 of the character PA, and the coefficient Z = 2 of the character PB. Then, when the server device 10 selects the character PA and the character PB based on the operation input of the player A and receives the execution instruction of the "match" (competition game program), the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) is set to IL = I × Z (that is, 20 = 20 × 1) is added, and IL = I × Z (that is, 40 = 20 × 2) is added to the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA).

This coefficient Z may be used like a compatibility variable. For example, control is performed to further double the coefficient Z only between characters with good compatibility, and control is performed to further double the coefficient Z only between two characters with poor compatibility.

For example, it is assumed that the server device 10 has good compatibility between the characters PA and PB, the addition value I = 20, the coefficient Z = 1 of the character PA, and the coefficient Z = 2 of the character PB. When the character PA and the character PB are selected based on the operation input of the player A and the execution instruction of the "match" is received, IL = I × Z × 2 (that is, 40 = 20 × 1) is set in the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB). × 2) is added, and IL = I × Z × 2 (that is, 80 = 20 × 2 × 2) is added to the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA).

On the other hand, it is assumed that the compatibility between the characters PA and PE is poor, the addition value I = 20, the coefficient Z = 1 of the character PA, and the coefficient Z = 2 of the character PE. When the character PA and the character PE are selected based on the operation input of the player A and the execution instruction of the "match" is received, IL = I × Z × 0.1 (that is, 2 = 20) is set in the cooperation parameter K (PA → PE). × 1 × 0.1) is added, and IL = I × Z × 0.1 (that is, 4 = 20 × 2 × 0.1) is added to the cooperation parameter K (PE → PA).

Further, the server device 10 may control the addition value to be increased as the distance between the characters in the game space is shorter.

[7] Description of Selection of Combination The server device 10 of the present embodiment selects one combination for executing a game event from all combinations composed of at least two characters.

[7.1] Total number of combinations First, all combinations composed of two characters will be examined. When the number of characters owned by the player is N, the number of combinations composed of two characters is N! / 2! (N-2)! Will be.

For example, when the characters owned by the player A are the characters PA, PB, PC, PD, and PE, the number of characters owned by the player A is "5", so that the total number of combinations of the player A is 5! / 2! (5-2)! = 10. That is, the total number of combinations is "10".

[7.2] Selection method based on cooperation parameters For example, the server device 10 selects one combination based on each cooperation parameter K of each character owned by the player.

[7.2.1] Selection example based on the total value of the cooperation parameters The server device 10 selects a combination of characters having the highest total value (total value) X of the cooperation parameters K of each character.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, for each combination, the total value X of predetermined parameters for each of the first character and the second character, which are the elements of the combination, is calculated. That is, for each combination, the value obtained by adding the cooperation parameter K for the first character to the second character and the cooperation parameter K for the second character to the first character, which are the elements of the combination, is calculated as the total value X. To do.

For example, since the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) = 100 from the character PA to the character PB and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) = 50 from the character PB to the character PA, the cooperation parameter K between the character PA and the character PB The total value X of is "150".

Then, the server device 10 selects the combination having the highest total value X from all the combinations. In the example of FIG. 5, since the combination of the characters PA and PB has the highest total value X, the combination of the characters PA and PB is selected. In the present embodiment, the combination having the highest total value X may be selected from all the combinations, or two or more combinations having the highest total value X may be selected.

[7.2.2] Selection example based on the integrated value of the cooperation parameter The server device 10 may select a combination of characters having the highest integrated value (multiplication value) Y of the cooperation parameter K of each character. ..

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, for each combination, the integrated value Y of predetermined parameters for each of the first character and the second character, which are the elements of the combination, is calculated. That is, for each combination, the value obtained by multiplying the cooperation parameter K for the first character to the second character, which is an element of the combination, and the cooperation parameter K for the second character to the first character is calculated as the integrated value Y. To do.

For example, since the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) = 100 from the character PA to the character PB and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) = 50 from the character PB to the character PA, the cooperation parameter K between the character PA and the character PB The integrated value Y of is "5000".

Then, the server device 10 selects the combination having the highest integrated value Y from all the combinations. In the example of FIG. 5, since the combination of the characters PA and PB has the highest integrated value Y, the combination of the characters PA and PB is selected. In the present embodiment, the combination having the highest integrated value Y may be selected from all the combinations, or two or more combinations having the higher integrated value Y may be selected.

[7.2.3] Selection example based on cooperation parameters The server device 10 uses one of all combinations based on the cooperation parameters of at least one of the plurality of characters that are the elements of the combination for other characters. You may choose the combination of.

For example, the server device 10 may select the combination having the character with the highest cooperation parameter K from all the combinations. For example, in the example of FIG. 5, the cooperation parameter K (PA → PD) from the character PA to the character PD is the highest at 110. Therefore, a combination of characters PA and PD may be selected.

Further, the server device 10 selects at least one combination by using the calculated value (for example, the deviation value) based on the cooperation parameter K of each character based on the mathematical formulas other than the total value and the integrated value. You may.

[7.2.4] The cut-off server device 10 based on the cooperation parameter sets the character for each character of the combination element when the cooperation parameter K from the character to another character exceeds the threshold value (for example, 10). As a candidate character, a combination composed of the candidate characters may be selected. That is, the server device 10 prevents the character whose cooperation parameter K is equal to or less than the threshold value (for example, 10 or less) from being a candidate, and cuts off the character whose cooperation parameter K is too low.

For example, the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) = 100 from the character PA to the character PB exceeds the threshold value (for example, 10), and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) = 50 from the character PB to the character PA exceeds the threshold value. ing. Therefore, it is possible to select a combination of the character PA and the character PB. On the other hand, the cooperation parameter K (PB → PD) = 0 from the character PB to the character PD is below the threshold value, and the cooperation parameter K (PD → PB) = 10 from the character PD to the character PB is below the threshold value. Therefore, the combination of the character PB and the character PD cannot be selected. In this way, the server device 10 can be selected when the cooperation parameter K of each character of the component of the combination exceeds the threshold value.

[8] Description of Game Events The server device 10 prepares a plurality of types of game events (game event programs) in advance for each of all combinations. Then, the server device 10 executes the game event based on the selected combination.

[8.1] Types of game events [8.1.1] Events for reproducing moving images The game event may be an event for reproducing moving images. This moving image is an animation or the like in which a character appears.

The server device 10 prepares a plurality of game events for reproducing a moving image in which one combination of the first character and the second character appears. The server device 10 prepares moving images (stored in the storage unit 140) in advance for all combinations. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the server device 10 associates each event ID with each combination. The event ID is information that identifies the event.

Specifically, to explain the combination of the character PA and the PB as an example, the game event ab1 that reproduces the moving image of the first episode in which the character PA and the character PB meet, the character PA, and the character PB are in an amusement park or the like. Going out and playing The game event ab2, which plays the moving image of the second episode, the character PA, and the game event ab3, which plays the moving image of the third episode, which is a scene where the character PB fights, and the character PB reconcile. A plurality of game events are prepared, such as the game event ab4 that reproduces the moving image of the fourth episode.

Further, the server device 10 has a game event in which the first character of one combination is the main character (main character) and the second character is the secondary character (supporting character), and the second character is the main character (main character). Therefore, a game event for playing a moving image in which the first character serves as a supporting character may be prepared. In addition, the main character has more lines and the time for the main character to appear is longer. Further, for example, in a combination of character PA and PB, a game event ab1-A that reproduces a moving image of an encounter (episode 1A) in which the character PA is the main character and the character PB is a supporting character, and the character PB is the main character and the character. A game event ab1-B that reproduces a moving image of an encounter (episode 1B) in which the PA plays a supporting role may be prepared.

The game event may be one in which the character performs a special action, a moving image in which the character says a special line, or a moving image in which the facial expression of the character changes.

[8.1.2] Event to reproduce a special effect in a battle game The game event may be a special effect in a battle game. For example, in the case of a soccer game, in a game event, at least one character of the selected combination shows a moving image showing an unusual super technique (super shoot), and the characters of the selected combination show a super combination play. It may be the one that reproduces a moving image, etc.

[8.2] Execution of game event When one combination composed of at least two characters is selected, the server device 10 executes a game event in which the characters of the selected combination appear. Hereinafter, for example, an execution example of a game event when a combination of characters PA and PB is selected will be described.

[8.2.1] As shown in FIG. 10, the event server device 10 that reproduces the moving image of the story sets a threshold value M in association with each event ID, and at least one character selected. When the cooperation parameter K of is equal to or higher than the threshold value M, the game event of the event ID corresponding to the threshold value is executed (or controlled so that it can be executed).

For example, in the server device 10, when at least one value of the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) for the character PA of the character PB is 100 or more. The character PA and the character PB execute the game event ab1 that reproduces the moving image of the first episode of the encounter scene.

In the server device 10, when the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA is 100 or more, the character PA plays a supporting role and the character PB plays a supporting role. When the game event ab1-A that reproduces the image is executed and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) for the character PA of the character PB is 100 or more, the character PB is the main character and the character PA is a supporting role. The game event ab1-B for reproducing the moving image of (Episode 1B) may be executed.

For example, the server device 10 is a game in which the character PA reproduces the moving image of the main character's encounter (episode 1A) and the character PB reproduces the moving image of the main character's encounter (episode 1B). If there is an event ab1-B, the priority may be determined in descending order of the cooperation parameter K, and the game event to be executed may be determined based on the priority.

For example, when the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA is “130” and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) for the character PA of the character PB is “120”, the cooperation parameter of the character PA Since K is higher, the character PA executes the game event ab1-A that reproduces the moving image of the encounter of the main character (Episode 1A).

For example, the server device 10 is a game in which the character PA reproduces the moving image of the main character's encounter (episode 1A) and the character PB reproduces the moving image of the main character's encounter (episode 1B). When there is an event ab1-B, the priority may be determined in descending order of the cooperation parameter K, and the game event may be executed according to the priority. For example, the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA may be set. When it is "130" and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) for the character PA of the character PB is "120", the cooperation parameter K of the character PA is higher, so first, the character PA meets the main character (No. 1). The game event ab1-A for reproducing the moving image of the first episode A) is executed, and then the character PB executes the game event ab1-B for reproducing the moving image of the first episode B.

Then, when the value of at least one of the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) for the character PA of the character PB becomes 200 or more, the server device 10 is second. Execute the game event ab2 (event to play the moving image of the second episode A in which the character PA is the main character, and an event to play the moving image of the second episode B in which the character PB is the main character) to play the moving image of the story. To do so.

The server device 10 has a value calculated based on the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) for the character PA of the character PB (for example, the total value X). , Integrated value Y, etc.) may execute the game event of the event ID corresponding to the threshold value M based on whether or not the threshold value M or more. Further, the priority order and the execution order of the game events may be determined based on the calculated values (for example, the total value X, the integrated value Y, etc.).

The server device 10 stores and manages the execution history of the game event in the execution history storage unit 149 for each player.

For example, the server device 10 controls an execution flag F (execution flag F is an example of an event parameter) that changes with the execution of the game event, and the content of the game event occurrence (for example, story) according to the execution flag F. To change.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the execution flag F is set in association with each event ID. The execution flag F = 1 indicates that the execution has been completed, and the execution flag F = 0 indicates that the execution has not been performed. The execution flag F = 1 associated with each event ID is an example of the execution history of the game event. The server device 10 may store the time updated to the execution flag F = 1 in the execution history storage unit 149 as the execution history in association with the execution flag F.

Then, the server device 10 controls the player A not to execute the game event in duplicate for the already executed game event (game event in which F = 1). That is, it controls not to execute a game event having the same content as a game event executed in the past. In addition, game events related to moving images have a small story in each game event, and the player can view the next new moving image, and by executing multiple game events, the story of the character can be viewed as a whole. Become. In the present embodiment, the fun of story development is given to the player to give the player a motivation to raise the cooperation parameter K.

Although not shown, the event occurrence / non-occurrence flag F2 may be set in association with each event ID. For example, F2 = 1 can be generated, and F2 = 0 cannot be generated. For example, when the cooperation parameter K is equal to or higher than the threshold value M, F2 = 1 may be set, or a specific event ID is associated with another event ID, and the specific event ID is executed. If this is the case, the occurrence / non-occurrence flag F2 = 1 of another event ID may be set.

For example, when the execution flag F of the event ID = ab1 is updated to 1, the occurrence / non-occurrence flag F2 = 1 of the event ID = ac1 may be set. In this way, it is possible to create a scenario in which the character PA and the PC meet after the character PA and the PB meet, and the story between the character PA and the PB and the story between the character PA and the PC interact with each other. You can develop a story like this.

[8.2.2] In the game event server device 10 that reproduces the special effect in the battle game, the combination of the character PA and the PB is selected in the battle game of the soccer game, and the cooperation parameter K for the character PB of the character PA is selected. When at least one of (PA → PB) and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) of the character PB with respect to the character PA is a threshold value (for example, 1000 or more), the character PA is a super technique different from the usual one. (For example, a moving image showing (for example, a super pass) may be shown to perform an operation of passing to the character PB.

Further, in the competitive game of the soccer game, a combination of the character PA and the PB is selected, and the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) for the character PA of the character PB. ) When the total value X or the integrated value Y is a threshold value (for example, 1000 or more), the characters PA and PB show a moving image showing a super combination play and break through the enemy character. The operation may be performed.

Further, the server device 10 may determine the success rate and the occurrence probability of the game event to be executed based on each cooperation parameter K for each other character of each of the plurality of characters PA and PB which are the elements of the selected combination. .. For example, when the cooperation parameter K is 100 or more, the success rate or the occurrence probability may be set to 100%, and when the cooperation parameter K is 100 or less, the numerical value of the cooperation parameter K may be the success rate or the occurrence probability. .. That is, the server device 10 controls so that the higher the cooperation parameter K, the higher the success rate and the probability of occurrence.

For example, when the combination of the character PA and the PB is selected and the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA is “100”, the server device 10 starts from the character PA during the battle game of the soccer game. It is assumed that the occurrence probability of the event of the path of the character PB is 100%. Further, when the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) of the character PB with respect to the character PA is “50”, the probability of occurrence of an event in the path from the character PB to the character PA is set to 50%.

Further, when the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA exceeds the threshold value (for example, 100), the probability of occurrence of the event of the path from the character PA to the character PB is set to a predetermined probability or more (for example, 100). It may be controlled to be 50% or more). When the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) for the character PA of the character PB exceeds the threshold value, the probability of occurrence of the event of the path from the character PB to the character PA is set to a predetermined probability or more (for example, 50% or more). It may be controlled to.

Then, when a path event occurs, the success rate is controlled as follows. For example, when the combination of the character PA and the PB is selected and the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA is “100”, the server device 10 starts from the character PA during the battle game of the soccer game. The success rate of the pass of the character PB is 100%. Further, when the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) of the character PB with respect to the character PA is “50”, the success rate of the pass from the character PB to the character PA is set to 50%.

Further, when the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA exceeds the threshold value (for example, 100), the success rate of the event of the path from the character PA to the character PB is set to a predetermined probability or more (for example, 100). It may be controlled to be 50% or more). When the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) for the character PA of the character PB exceeds the threshold value, the success rate of the event of the path from the character PB to the character PA is set to a predetermined probability or more (for example, 50% or more). It may be controlled to.

The server device 10 determines the success or failure of the event based on the success rate, and if it succeeds, the path succeeds, and if it fails, the path fails.

Further, the server device 10 has a value calculated based on the cooperation parameter K (PA → PB) for the character PB of the character PA and the cooperation parameter K (PB → PA) for the character PA of the character PB (for example, the addition value “ The success rate and the occurrence probability of the event of the path with the characters PA and PB may be determined based on "150" or the multiplication value "5000"). For example, the server device 10 controls so that the higher the calculated value, the higher the success rate and the probability of occurrence.

Further, the server device 10 controls the experience value and level of the character (experience value or level is an example of an event parameter) that changes with the execution of the game event, and the game event is generated according to the experience value and level. Change the content. Here, the content of the game event is changed. For example, as the experience value and level of the character increase, the movement of the character is controlled so that the passing and shooting techniques of the character improve.

[8.2.3] Other Game Events The server device 10 may execute a game event that performs special control of the virtual camera during the battle game. For example, the line-of-sight direction of a virtual camera arranged in the game space is controlled so as to keep following at least one of the characters of the selected combination. It also executes a game event that controls a virtual camera that zooms in on at least one of the selected combination of characters.

Further, the server device 10 may be a game event in which a privilege (game medium such as an item) is given to at least one of the characters of the selected combination. That is, when the combination of the characters PA and PB is selected, the server device 10 may execute a game event in which the characters PA and PB are given items that can be used during the game. The server device 10 stores the assigned item in association with the character IDs of the characters PA and PB.

[9] Display control [9.1] Linkage parameter confirmation screen FIG. 11 is an example of a confirmation screen GW3 of the linkage parameter K for the character PB of the character PA displayed on the display unit 290 of the terminal device 20 of the player A. Shown.

For example, on the confirmation screen GW3, the value of the column D1 indicating that the value of the cooperation parameter K for the character PB of the character PA is "100", the value of the cooperation parameter K of the other party (that is, the cooperation parameter K for the character PA of the character PB). Column D2 indicating that is "50", column D3 indicating that the cooperation parameter K for the character PB of the character PA is 100 or more and the game event ab1 of the first episode is executed, and for the character PB of the character PA in the future. When the cooperation parameter K is 200 or more, the column D4 indicating that the game event ab2 of the second episode is scheduled to be executed, and when the cooperation parameter K for the character PB of the character PA becomes 300 or more in the future, A column D5, etc. indicating that the game event ab3 of the third episode is scheduled to be executed is displayed. The display columns D4 and D5 for the unexecuted game events ab2 and ab3 may be identified and displayed in different colors from the display column D3 for the executed game event ab1.

Further, on the confirmation screen GW3, the value of the cooperation parameter K for the character PB of the current character PA with respect to the maximum value of the cooperation parameter K for the character PB of the character PA may be displayed by the gauge GX.

[9.2] Event Execution Screen FIG. 12 shows an example of the event execution screen GW4 displayed on the display unit 290 of the terminal device 20 of the player A. On the execution screen GW4, the cooperation parameter K for the character PB of the character PA becomes 100 or more, the game event ab1 of the first episode "encounter" is released, and the message D8 indicating that the game can be executed and the OK button B2 are displayed. .. For example, when the player A inputs the OK button B2 (touch input or the like) and the server device 10 receives the execution instruction of the game event ab1 from the player A, the game event ab1 is executed.

[10] Description of the battle game In the present embodiment, the characters forming the group play a battle game (for example, a soccer game) at the timing when the group is formed and the execution instruction of the battle game is received. The result (match result) may be determined, or the battle result may be determined by executing the battle game based on the operation input of the player.

For example, if the battle result has already been decided at the timing when the execution instruction of the battle game is received, the control is performed as follows. That is, when the player loses, the server device 10 executes an operation in which a pass or a shoot fails for each character belonging to the player's group at a given timing during the battle game. Further, when the player wins, the server device 10 executes an operation of successfully passing or shooting the character at a given timing during the battle game. Further, at this given timing, the game event of the selected combination of characters may be executed.

[11] Flowchart A flow of processing for executing a game event of the server device 10 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, a group is organized (step S1). For example, a group composed of a plurality of characters used during the game is organized.

Then, each cooperation parameter K for each other character of each character is changed according to the progress of the game (step S2). For example, each cooperation parameter K for each other character of each character is changed according to the progress of the group battle game.

Then, one combination is selected from all the combinations based on each cooperation parameter K for each other character of each character (step S3). For example, one combination is selected from all the combinations composed of two characters. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, for each of all the characters, one combination is selected based on each cooperation parameter K for each other character.

Then, the game event is executed based on the selected combination (step S4). For example, a game event is executed in which a moving image in which characters of the selected combination appear is reproduced. This completes the process.

[12] Application Example [12.1] Application Example Regarding Selection of Combination In the present embodiment, a value calculated based on each predetermined parameter for each of a plurality of characters which are elements of the combination (for example, a total value) for each combination. An example of selecting the combination having the highest combination of X and integrated value Y) has been described, but a value calculated based on each predetermined parameter for each of a plurality of characters that are elements of the combination (for example, total value X and integrated value Y). However, the lowest combination may be elected.

For example, when the value calculated based on each predetermined parameter for each of a plurality of characters that are elements of the combination (for example, the total value X and the integrated value Y) is the combination of the characters PA and PB, for example. , You may control so that the probability that the pass between the characters PA and PB fails in the battle game (soccer game) is high.

[12.2] Number of Elements of Combination In the present embodiment, an example of selecting a combination composed of two characters has been described, but the number of elements of the combination is not limited to two and may be three or more.

For example, the server device 10 determines the number of elements of a combination in advance, and controls to select at least one combination from all the configured combinations based on the number of elements.

[12.3] Decrease in cooperation parameter K In the present embodiment, an example in which the cooperation parameter K increases has been described, but the cooperation parameter K may decrease.

For example, the server device 10 subtracts a predetermined value from the cooperation parameter K of each character forming the group when the characters forming the group play the battle game and the group of players loses the battle game. You may do it. Then, the server device 10 responds to a type of game part (for example, a competitive game (match), practice, break) different from the game part in which a given game event (for example, a game event for reproducing a moving image) occurs. Therefore, the degree of decrease of the cooperation parameter K may be changed.

[12.4] Coordination Parameter between Characters In the present embodiment, a combination is selected based on the cooperation parameter K among all a plurality of characters in one player, and a game event is executed based on the selected combination. However, a combination is selected based on the cooperation parameter K between the character of one player (for example, player A) and the character of another player (for example, player B), and the selected combination is selected. Based on this, the game event may be executed.
