The user terminal 10 or the server 30 may include a component for reading a program or data stored in an information storage medium (for example, an optical disk or a memory card). Then, the program or data may be supplied to the user terminal 10 or the server 30 via the information storage medium.

[2. Game Overview]
In the game system 1, the game is executed by executing the program on the user terminal 10. The game system 1 can execute various games. For example, sports games (games based on baseball, soccer, tennis, American football, basketball, volleyball, etc.), adventure games, simulation games, role-playing games, or training games, regardless of game format or genre. It is possible to play various games.

For example, in the game system 1, a game in which game control is executed based on at least one game object selected by the user from a plurality of game objects is executed. Hereinafter, in such a game, a technique for allowing the user to easily select a game object that executes desired game control will be described.

Here, before explaining the above technique, terms such as "game object" and "game control" will be described.

A "game object" is, for example, an object that can be manipulated, instructed, used, or nurtured in a game. Further, the "game object" is, for example, an object given to a user in a game. Specifically, for example, a game character, a game item, a game card, or the like corresponds to an example of a "game object".

"Game control" is control related to a game. For example, generating an event in a game corresponds to an example of "game control". The "event" is various events that occur in the game. Further, for example, generating an effect advantageous to the user in the game corresponds to an example of "game control". Also, for example, giving a game object to a user corresponds to an example of "game control". Also, for example, advancing a game story corresponds to an example of "game control".

"Implementing game control based on the selected game object" means, for example, changing the content of the game control based on the selected game object.

For example, if "game control" is "to raise an event in the game", then "determine whether to raise an event in the game based on the selected game object" or "selection". "Determining the type or content of an event to be generated in the game based on the selected game object" corresponds to an example of "execution of game control based on the selected game object".

Also, for example, if "game control" is to "generate an effect in the game that is beneficial to the user", then "determine whether or not to generate the effect in the game based on the selected game object". Or, "determining the type or content of the effect to be generated in the game based on the selected game object" corresponds to the above example.

Also, for example, if "game control" is "giving a game object to a user", then "determining whether to give a game object to a user based on the selected game object" or , "Determine the type of game object to be given to the user based on the selected game object" corresponds to the above example.

Further, for example, if "game control" is to "advance the game story", "changing the progress or content of the game story based on the selected game object" corresponds to the above example.

In the following, as an example of the above-mentioned game, "a game in which the user aims to change the parameters of the first game object, and at least one first game selected from a plurality of second game objects". 2 A game in which a favorable effect is generated to change the parameters of the first game object based on the game object ”will be described. Specifically, a baseball game having such characteristics will be described.

Here, too, terms such as "first game object", "second game object", and "parameter" will be described before the baseball game is described.

The "first game object" is a game object whose parameters are changed by the user. For example, the "first game object" is a game character to be trained by the user.

The "second game object" is a game object different from the first game object. For example, the "second game object" is an effect generating game object for generating an effect advantageous for changing the parameters of the first game object in the game. The "second game object" may be the same type of game object as the first game object, or may be a different type of game object. For example, when the "first game object" is a game character, the "second game object" may be a game item.

The "parameter" is, for example, a performance parameter relating to the performance (ability) of the game object. The "performance parameter" may be, for example, information indicating the magnitude or level of the performance, or information indicating the presence or absence of a specific performance. Alternatively, the "parameter" may be a state parameter relating to the state of the game object. The "state parameter" is, for example, information indicating the goodness of the state. Alternatively, when the game object is a game character, the "parameter" may be information indicating the character of the game object. The "parameter" may be information indicating performance or the like numerically, or may be information indicating other than numerical values.

The "game in which the user aims to change the parameters of the first game object" is, for example, a game whose main purpose is to change the parameters of the first game object. However, the game is not limited to a game whose purpose is only to change the parameters of the first game object, and may be a game whose purpose is to change the parameters of the first game object.

"To generate an effect in the game that is advantageous for changing the parameters of the first game object" means, for example, to generate an effect in the game that changes the parameters of the first game object. For example, an event that changes the parameters of the first game object is generated, or a game item that changes the parameters of the first game object is given to the user.

Further, "to generate an effect advantageous in changing the parameters of the first game object in the game" means, for example, to generate an effect in the game that makes it easy to change the parameters of the first game object. You may. For example, a game event that makes it easy to improve the parameters of the first game object may be generated, or a game object that makes it easy to improve the performance of the first game object may be given to the user. Alternatively, "to generate an effect in the game that is advantageous for changing the parameters of the first game object" may be branched into a game story that makes it easier to change the parameters of the first game object. ..

FIG. 2 shows an example of a main menu screen image of a baseball game. As shown in FIG. 2, the main menu screen image G100 includes the processing objects P110 and P120. Here, the "processing object" is, for example, an image, a symbol, a text, or the like with which processing is associated. Specifically, for example, a button, an icon, a link, or the like corresponds to an example of a "processing object". When a processing object is selected, the processing associated with the processing object is executed.

This baseball game includes a training part and a battle part, and the main menu screen image G100 is a screen image for selecting any part. The training part is a game part in which a user trains a game character (an example of a first game object) and creates his or her own original character. A process for executing the training part is associated with the processing object P110, and the user can play the training part by selecting the processing object P110. On the other hand, the battle part is a game part in which a user organizes his or her own baseball team using the original characters created in the training part and plays against a baseball team organized by another user. The processing object P120 is associated with a process for executing the battle part, and the user can play the battle part by selecting the processing object P120.

The training part will be described in detail below. In the training part, the user trains the hero character by having the hero character (an example of the first game object) practice while advancing a predetermined scenario, and creates his own original character. A "predetermined scenario" is a game story that develops as the game progresses.

As an example of the above scenario, it can be a game story from the summer of the second year of high school to becoming a professional baseball player. For example, the main character belongs to a high school baseball club, wins regulars while practicing with teammates, and participates in baseball games (local qualifying tournaments, national tournaments, etc.). If the evaluation of the scout of a professional baseball team who observes the practice and the game of the main character is above the standard, he / she will be scouted as a professional baseball player.

In the training part, the training of the main character is completed by the end of one scenario. The hero character whose training has been completed can be used as an original character in another game part (for example, a battle part). After the scenario ends, another original character can be generated by starting the scenario from the beginning again.

The user may be able to select an arbitrary scenario from a plurality of scenarios prepared in advance. Further, in order to increase the variation of the scenario, the user terminal 10 may be able to download an additional scenario from the server 30. For example, new scenarios may be provided on a regular basis.

In the training part, multiple commands for selecting the in-game action of the main character are prepared. Examples of commands include "practice," "rest," and "go out." Each time the user selects one of the commands, for example, a week of virtual time in the game elapses. For example, the in-game period from the start to the end of the scenario is set to 50 weeks (a virtual in-game period). That is, there are a total of 50 turns from the start to the end of the scenario, and the scenario progresses after a week of virtual time in the game elapses for each turn.

The practice command is a command for improving the ability of the main character. For example, a plurality of types of ability parameters are set for the main character. For example, a plurality of types of parameters related to pitcher ability or fielder ability are set in the main character.

The pitcher ability parameter includes a parameter that numerically indicates the level of the basic ability related to the pitcher, such as "ball speed", "control", "stamina", "changing ball", and the like. For example, these parameters indicate that the higher the parameter value, the higher the capacity. Further, for example, the pitcher ability parameter may include a parameter indicating the presence or absence of a special ability related to the pitcher. For example, it may include a parameter indicating whether or not it has a special ability such as "strong against a pinch" or "strong against a left-handed batter".

On the other hand, the fielder ability parameter includes a parameter that numerically indicates the level of basic ability related to the fielder, such as "meet", "power", "running ability", "shoulder strength", and "defense force". .. For example, these parameters indicate that the higher the parameter value, the higher the capacity. Also, for example, the fielder ability parameter may include a parameter indicating the presence or absence of a special ability related to the fielder. For example, it may include a parameter indicating whether or not it has a special ability such as "strong against chance" or "strong against left-handed pitcher".

In the following, a parameter indicating the level of the basic ability numerically is referred to as a "basic ability parameter", and a parameter indicating the presence or absence of a special ability is referred to as a "special ability parameter".

The practice command is a command for changing the above ability parameters. As practice commands, practice commands for pitchers and practice commands for fielders are prepared. As practice commands for pitchers, for example, a plurality of types of commands such as "ball speed", "control", "stamina", "changing ball", "defense", and "mental" are prepared. On the other hand, as practice commands for fielders, for example, a plurality of types of commands such as "batting", "muscle strength", "running base", "shoulder strength", "defense", and "mental" are prepared. When the user selects (executes) any of the practice commands, practice points (experience points) are given to the main character. As practice points, a plurality of types of points such as "muscle strength", "agility", "technique", "changing ball", and "spirit" are prepared.

For each practice command, the type and amount of practice points given to the main character are defined. That is, one or a plurality of types of practice points are associated with each practice command, and when any of the practice commands is selected, the practice points associated with the practice command are given to the main character. For example, the practice command of "batting" is associated with three types of practice points of "muscle strength", "skill", and "spirit", and when the practice command of "batting" is executed, "muscle strength" and "muscle strength" Three types of practice points, "technique" and "spirit", are given to the main character.

By using the practice points given to the hero character as described above, the user can improve the ability of the hero character.

For example, in this baseball game, the type and amount of practice points required to increase the value of the basic ability parameter are defined for each basic ability parameter. For example, in order to improve the basic ability parameters of "meet", practice points of "strength", "skill", and "spirit" are required, and the user needs "strength", "skill", and "spirit". By using practice points, you can increase the value of the basic ability parameter of "meet".

Further, for example, in this baseball game, the type and amount of practice points required to acquire the special ability are defined for each special ability parameter. For example, in order to acquire the special ability of "strong in chance", practice points of "agility", "skill", and "spirit" are required, and the user can use these practice points to obtain the main character. Can acquire the special ability of "strong against chance".

As described above, when the practice command is selected, the practice points are given to the main character, and the user can improve the ability of the main character by using the practice points given to the main character. When a practice command is selected, the basic ability parameters and special ability parameters of the main character may be updated directly without giving practice points to the main character.

When the practice command is selected, the physical strength parameter of the main character is reduced. For example, if the physical strength parameter of the main character is low, it is easy to get injured when the practice command is executed. In this regard, when the rest command is selected, the physical strength parameter of the main character is restored. Also, when the outing command is selected, the physical strength parameter and motivation parameter of the main character increase. If the motivation parameter of the main character becomes low, the main character cannot exert its original ability.

In the training part, as shown in FIG. 3, various events occur from the start to the end of the scenario. For example, in each turn from the start to the end of the scenario, an event occurs based on predetermined probability information. In addition to the event that occurs based on the probability information, an event that always occurs when the progress of the game reaches the standard may be provided. For example, when the scenario progresses to 10 turns, 20 turns, and 30 turns, a predetermined event (for example, a match event) may always occur.

For example, in the training part, an event that is advantageous for improving the ability of the main character occurs. For example, in this event, practice points are given to the main character. Further, for example, in this event, the action options that the hero character should take are presented to the user, and practice points are given to the hero character according to the options selected by the user. In this case, when the most appropriate option is selected, the amount of practice points given to the main character is larger than when the other options are selected.

In this baseball game, the events that occur during the training part are not fixed, and various events are additionally generated according to one or a plurality of game characters that the user has incorporated into the event deck. The event deck will be described below.

FIG. 4 shows an example of an event deck screen image. The event deck screen image G200 shown in FIG. 4 is a screen image for setting the event deck. As shown in FIG. 4, the event deck screen image G200 includes the event deck setting area A210. The event deck setting area A210 is an area for setting an event deck.

The event deck setting area A210 is provided with five setting frames A211, A212, A213, A214, and A215 for setting event characters (game characters for generating events) that are members of the event deck. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the player character A and the player character B are set in the two setting frames A211 and A212, respectively. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the player characters A and B are incorporated in the event deck.

The event character that can be set in the event deck setting area A210 is basically an event character owned by the user. The user can arbitrarily select the event character to be set in the event deck setting area A210 from the plurality of event characters owned by the user. For example, in this baseball game, a predetermined number of event characters are given to the user at the start of the game. In addition, the user can obtain the event character by lottery, obtain the event character as a reward in the game, or obtain the event character from another user. The event character is given to the user in the form of a game card (digital card), and the user can own the event character in the form of a game card.

For example, in the state shown in FIG. 4, the event character is not set in the setting frame A213. The user can set the event character in the setting frame A213 by selecting the setting frame A213. For example, when the user selects the setting frame A213 by touching the setting frame A213, an event character selection screen image for selecting one of a plurality of event characters owned by the user is displayed. FIG. 5 shows an example of an event character selection screen image. When the user selects one of the event characters displayed on the event character selection screen image G300, the selected event character is set in the setting frame A213.

Further, in the state shown in FIG. 4, the player character A is set in the setting frame A211. The user can change the event character set in the setting frame A211 from the player character A to another game character by selecting the setting frame A211. For example, when the user selects the setting frame A211 by touching the setting frame A211, the event character selection screen image G300 is displayed. Then, when the user selects one of the event characters displayed on the event character selection screen image G300, the newly selected event character is set in the setting frame A211 instead of the player character A. The user can also remove the player character A from the setting frame A211 by selecting the setting frame A211 and performing a predetermined setting cancellation operation.

As described above, the user sets the event character in each of the setting frames A211 to A215. It is not necessary to set the event character in all of the setting frames A211 to A215, and the event character may be set only in a part of the setting frames A211 to A215.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, five setting frames A211 to A215 are included in the event deck setting area A210, and the upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated into the event deck is set to "5". There is. For example, the upper limit may be changed by satisfying a predetermined condition. Specifically, for example, the upper limit may be increased when the progress of the game reaches the standard. Alternatively, the upper limit may be increased by charging (for example, by consuming charged items). Alternatively, the upper limit may be increased by consuming a predetermined amount of in-game points, in-game currency, or the like. In addition, the upper limit may be changed by satisfying various conditions.

Event characters built into the event deck will appear in the game. Event characters appearing in the game are depicted by two-dimensional or three-dimensional computer graphics in in-game practice, games, various events, and the like.

For example, an event character incorporated in an event deck appears in the game as a teammate of the main character or a manager of the baseball club to which the main character belongs. The game character incorporated in the event deck may appear in the game as, for example, a player of a rival team. As described above, the event character owned by the user becomes a character in the game by being incorporated into the event deck.

In the scenario, predetermined game characters (for example, one director, one scout, one manager, and four to eight teammate players) are set as characters in advance. These game characters appear in the game even if they are not built into the event deck. Therefore, the event character incorporated in the event deck can be said to be a game character added as a character.

In addition, each event character that can be incorporated into the event deck is associated with a unique event. Then, an event associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck may occur during the training part.

Here, for example, the "event associated with the event character X" is an event related to the event character X. For example, an event in which the event character X acts together with the main character (for example, practicing, confronting, eating, playing, traveling, etc.) corresponds to an example of the above event. Further, for example, an event in which the event character X acts together with a game character other than the main character, or an event in which the event character X acts alone (for example, practicing, eating, drawing a fortune, etc.) is another event described above. Corresponds to one example.

The "event associated with the event character X" is not limited to the event in which the event character X appears on the screen. For example, it may be an event in which a quiz related to the event character X is given. In addition, it may be an event in which other game characters (friends, seniors, juniors, coaches, rivals, etc.) related to the event character X talk about the event character X, or in order to win the event character X. It may be an event to practice.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, "player character A" and "player character B" are incorporated in the event deck. In such a case, "event A" associated with "player character A" and "event B" associated with "player character B" may occur in the training part. For example, "event A" is an event in which the main character acts together with the player character A (such as performing a special practice). Similarly, "event B" is an event in which the main character acts together with the player character B (such as performing a special practice).

For example, event A and event B are events that are advantageous for improving the ability of the main character. For example, when the player character A is a pitcher, the event A is an event in which a special practice useful for improving the pitching ability of the main character character is performed together with the player character A. For example, in event A in this case, the main character is given practice points that can be used to raise the basic ability parameters related to the pitcher and to acquire special abilities related to the pitcher. Alternatively, in event A in this case, the amount of practice points required to increase the pitcher-related basic ability parameters or acquire pitcher-related special abilities may be reduced. Alternatively, in the event A in this case, the basic ability parameter related to the pitcher may be increased, or the special ability related to the pitcher may be given to the main character.

Further, for example, when the player character A is a fielder, the event A is an event in which a special practice useful for improving the fielder ability of the main character character is performed together with the player character A. For example, in event A in this case, the main character is given practice points that can be used to increase the basic ability parameters related to the fielder and to acquire special abilities related to the fielder. Alternatively, in event A in this case, the amount of practice points required to increase the basic ability parameters related to the fielder or to acquire special abilities related to the fielder may be reduced. Alternatively, in the event A in this case, the basic ability parameter related to the fielder may be increased, or the special ability related to the fielder may be given to the main character.

It should be noted that a unique event may be associated with a predetermined combination of event characters. Then, when a predetermined combination of event characters is incorporated in the event deck, an event associated with the combination may occur during the training part.

For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, "player character A" and "player character B" are included in the event deck. In such a case, the "event AB" corresponding to the combination of the "player character A" and the "player character B" may occur during the training part. For example, "event AB" is an event in which the player character A and the player character B confront each other. Further, in this confrontation event, the main character may participate in the confrontation event by watching the confrontation, supporting the confrontation, or the like. In this case, not only "event AB" but also the above "event A" and "event B" may occur. That is, when "player character A" and "player character B" are incorporated in the event deck, "player character A", "player character B", "player character A" + "player character B" 3 Any of the street patterns is valid, and any of "event A", "event B", and "event AB" may occur.

The above-mentioned event is only an example, and various events can be made to occur depending on the game character or the combination of the game characters incorporated in the event deck.

The above-mentioned event may be generated without fail, may be generated with a predetermined probability, or may be generated when a predetermined condition is satisfied. When the above event is generated with a predetermined probability, it is not possible to know when the event will occur, so the user has a sense of tension while expecting the event associated with the game character incorporated in the event deck to occur. You will enjoy the game.

Further, the probability that the above event will occur may be changed according to the degree of relationship between the main character and the event character incorporated in the event deck. The degree of relationship between the main character and the event character may be, for example, the intimacy of the two or an evaluation value in which one evaluates the other. This degree of relationship may be predetermined or may vary depending on the behavior of the main character. For example, the main character may practice or play with the event character to improve the degree of relationship between the two, while the probability of event occurrence may be improved as the degree of relationship is improved. In this way, the user can improve the probability of occurrence of an event associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck by selecting the action of the main character.

Further, when the degree of relationship between the main character and the event character incorporated in the event deck reaches a predetermined standard, the event associated with the event character may be generated without fail. Here, the timing of event occurrence may be the timing immediately after the degree of relationship reaches a predetermined standard, or the timing after a predetermined time has elapsed after the degree of relationship reaches a predetermined standard. Good. For example, if the relationship between the main character and the player character A reaches a predetermined standard during the command execution of a turn with a scenario, it is associated with the player character A at the end of the turn or the start of the next turn. The event may occur.

If the degree of relationship does not reach a predetermined standard, the event may occur with a probability according to the degree of relationship (or with a predetermined probability regardless of the degree of relationship). Alternatively, if the degree of relationship does not reach a predetermined standard, the event may not occur.

The number of events associated with the event character may be one or may be plural. Further, the number of events may be different for each event character. For example, a rarity may be set for each event character so that an event character with a high rarity is associated with a larger number of events than an event character with a low rarity. Further, for an event character having a high rarity, the probability of occurrence of an event may be higher than that of an event character having a low rarity.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the event deck screen image G200 includes a good practice display area A220. In this baseball game, each event character that can be incorporated into an event deck is associated with a practice item that it is good at. In the good practice display area A220, good practice items associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck are displayed. For example, when the practice item that the player character A is good at is "batting" and the practice item that the player character B is good at is "shoulder strength", as shown in FIG. 4, "batting" and "shoulder" The practice item of "power" is displayed in the good practice display area A220.

For example, when an event character whose favorite practice item is "hit" is incorporated in the event deck, compared to a case where an event character whose favorite practice item is "blow" is not incorporated in the event deck. , The amount of practice points given to the main character when the user selects the "hit" practice command increases. That is, it becomes easy to improve the ability of the main character.

After confirming the practice items displayed in the good practice display area A220, the user can try to display the desired practice items in the good practice display area A220 by exchanging the event characters in the event deck. For example, when the main character is a pitcher and the practice item for improving the pitcher ability is not displayed in the good practice display area A220, the user removes the event character from the event deck and incorporates another event character. Therefore, it is possible to adjust so that the practice items for improving the pitcher ability are displayed in the good practice display area A220.

In this baseball game, a bonus is associated with each event character that can be incorporated into the event deck. For example, an event character is associated with a bonus that increases the probability of a particular event occurring. When such an event character is incorporated into the event deck, the probability of occurrence of the specific event increases.

As described above, in this baseball game, an event associated with the game character incorporated in the event deck may occur during the training part. For example, if an event character associated with an event that is advantageous for improving pitcher ability is incorporated in the event deck, the event occurs during the training part, and the user puts such an event character in the event deck. By incorporating it, it becomes easy to improve the pitching ability of the main character. Further, for example, when an event character associated with an event that is advantageous for improving the fielder's ability is incorporated in the event deck, the event occurs during the game, and the user puts such an event character in the event deck. By incorporating it, it becomes easier to improve the fielder ability of the main character.

In addition, in this baseball game, when a practice command corresponding to a good practice item associated with an event character incorporated in the event deck is selected, the amount of practice points given to the main character is larger than usual. More. Therefore, for example, the user can easily improve the pitching ability of the main character by incorporating the event character in which the practice item for the pitcher is associated with the practice item that he is good at in the event deck. Further, for example, the user can easily improve the fielder ability of the main character by incorporating the event character in which the practice item for the fielder is associated with the practice item that he is good at in the event deck.

By the way, if the user does not fully understand the events associated with each event character and the practice items that he / she is good at, it may be difficult for the user to decide which event character should be incorporated into the event deck. In addition, the user may find it troublesome to set the event deck. In order to eliminate such inconvenience, this baseball game is equipped with an automatic setting function of the event deck. This function will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 4, the event deck screen image G200 includes the processing object P230. The processing object P230 is associated with a process for automatically setting an event deck according to the user's request.

When the processing object P230 is selected, an image of an automatic setting menu screen for selecting a training policy for the main character is displayed. FIG. 6 shows an example of an automatic setting menu screen image. In the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shown in FIG. 6, one of the first training policy of "training the hero character as a pitcher" and the second training policy of "training the hero character as a fielder" can be selected. It has become.

The automatic setting menu screen image G400 includes the processing object P410. The processing object P410 is associated with a process for selecting the first training policy. In other words, the processing object P410 is associated with a process for automatically setting an event deck suitable for training the main character as a pitcher.

That is, when the processing object P410 is selected, for example, an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the pitcher's ability or an event character associated with a pitcher's practice item as a good practice item. It is set as a member of the event deck with priority over other event characters.

FIG. 7 shows an example of an event deck screen image after the processing object P410 is selected. In the event deck screen image G500 shown in FIG. 7, the event character in which the practice items for pitchers, "ball speed", "control", "stamina", "changing ball", and "mental" are set as good practice items. Is incorporated into the event deck, so that these practice items are displayed in the good practice display area A220. In the event deck screen image G500, the user may be able to replace the event characters automatically incorporated in the event deck as described above.

Further, the automatic setting menu screen image G400 also includes the processing object P420. The processing object P420 is associated with a process for selecting the second training policy. In other words, the processing object P420 is associated with a process for automatically setting an event deck suitable for training the main character as a fielder.

That is, when the processing object P420 is selected, for example, an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the fielder's ability or an event character associated with an event character that is good at a fielder's practice item. It is set as a member of the event deck with priority over other event characters.

As described above, in this baseball game, the user selects a desired option from a plurality of options displayed on the automatic setting menu screen image G400 (that is, a plurality of options related to the training policy), thereby causing the desired training. An event deck that meets the policy is automatically set. As a result, the user can easily set the event deck that matches the desired training policy.

In the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shown in FIG. 6, one of the two training policies of "pitcher" and "fielder" can be selected, but among the plurality of training policies related to "pitcher". It may be possible to select one or one of a plurality of training policies regarding "fielders". For example, the user may be able to select an ability to be emphasized from a plurality of abilities related to "pitcher" or "fielder". For example, as a training policy regarding "pitcher", one of "ball speed-oriented", "control-oriented", and "changing ball-oriented" may be selected. Further, for example, as a training policy for "fielders", one of "meet-oriented", "power-oriented", "running-oriented", and "defensive-oriented" may be selected.

For example, in the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shown in FIG. 6, when the processing object P410 is selected in order to select the first training policy of "training the main character as a pitcher", the transition screen displayed next is displayed. In, a screen image for selecting one of a plurality of pitcher training policies may be displayed. In addition, a plurality of processing objects corresponding to the above-mentioned "ball speed-oriented", "control-oriented", and "changing ball-oriented" may be selectively displayed on this screen image.

Alternatively, in the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shown in FIG. 6, instead of the processing objects P410 and P420, the processing objects corresponding to the pitcher training policies "focus on ball speed", "focus on control", and "focus on changing ball", respectively. And the processing objects corresponding to the fielder training policies "meet-oriented", "power-oriented", "running-oriented", and "defensive-oriented" may be displayed. By doing so, the user may be able to select the training policy in detail on one screen.

For example, on a setting screen for making various settings (for example, an option screen or a customization screen), the user selects one of a plurality of pitcher training policies or one of a plurality of fielder training policies. You may be able to keep it. For example, when the user has previously selected "focus on ball speed" from a plurality of pitcher training policies and previously selected "focus on meet" from a plurality of fielder training policies, the automatic setting menu screen image. When the processing object P410 (pitcher) of G400 is selected, an event deck suitable for improving the ball speed of the main character is automatically set based on the preselected "focus on ball speed". You may. In this way, once one of the multiple pitcher training policies or the multiple fielder training policies is selected, the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shows the "pitcher" or "fielder". It is sufficient to select either one, and it is not necessary to select either a plurality of pitcher training policies or a plurality of fielder training policies each time a new main character is trained.

Further, in the automatic setting menu screen image G400, information about an actual baseball player, for example, a baseball player's name (real name, nickname, nickname, etc.), a photograph, an image, or the like may be displayed as an option. By doing so, the user may be able to select the training policy by selecting the actual baseball player. In this case, the game character associated with the event or practice item (practice item that is good at) that is advantageous for bringing the ability of the main character closer to the ability of the actual baseball player selected by the user is preferentially incorporated into the event deck. It may be possible to do so. In this way, the image of the player who the user favors or longs for can be made to appear on the main character, so that the game quality can be enhanced.

Further, the automatic setting menu screen image G400 may present a plurality of questions to the user. Then, the event characters that match the answers to the plurality of questions may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck. In this way, the training policy desired by the user may be determined from the answers to the plurality of questions, and the event character suitable for the training policy desired by the user may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck. In addition, as the above-mentioned plurality of questions, a plurality of questions regarding the personality diagnosis of the user may be presented. By doing so, an event character suitable for nurturing the main character so as to resemble the character of the user may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck.

[3. Game system functional block]
The functional blocks realized by the game system 1 will be described. FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing a function (event deck automatic setting function) related to the present invention among the functions realized by the game system 1.

As shown in FIG. 8, the server 30 includes a data storage unit 300 and a processing unit 310. For example, the data storage unit 300 is realized by the storage unit 32, and the processing unit 310 is realized by the control unit 31 executing processing according to a program. The data storage unit 300 may be realized by a storage unit included in another device capable of data communication with the server 30.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the user terminal 10 (an example of a game control device) includes an individual data storage unit 100, a request unit 110, a display control unit 120, a selection condition setting unit 130, a game object selection unit 140, and a game control unit. Includes 150. The individual data storage unit 100 is realized by the storage unit 12, and the functional blocks other than the individual data storage unit 100 are realized by the control unit 11 executing processing according to a program.

First, the data storage unit 300 will be described. The data storage unit 300 stores data necessary for the game executed by the game system 1. Hereinafter, as an example of the data stored in the data storage unit 300, a part of the data necessary for the baseball game described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7 will be described. Data other than the data described below is also stored in the data storage unit 300, but here, data related to the event deck automatic setting function will be described.

For example, the event character table TBL301 is stored in the data storage unit 300. The event character table TBL301 is a data table showing a list of event characters owned by each user. FIG. 9 shows an example of the event character table TBL301. As shown in FIG. 9, the event character table TBL301 includes the fields described below.

The "User ID" field indicates identification information for identifying the user. The "event character ID" field indicates identification information for identifying an event character owned by the user. The Name field indicates the name of the event character.

The "Rarity" field indicates the rarity of the event character. For example, any of a plurality of stages of rarity information such as "super rare (SR)", "rare (R)", and "normal (N)" is associated with each event character. Here, "rareness" indicates, for example, the difficulty of obtaining an event character. The higher the rarity of the event character, the more difficult it is to obtain the event character. In general, the higher the rarity of an event character, the higher the usefulness (ability, effect, etc.) of the event character. Therefore, it can be said that the "rareness" indicates the usefulness of the event character. As in the player character A in the example shown in FIG. 9, even with the same event character, there may be three types of rarity: super rare (SR), rare, and normal. Further, "rareness" is represented by an aspect other than the above aspects, for example, "1, 2, ...", "A, B, ...", "gold, silver, ..." and the like. Is also possible.

The "Position" field indicates the baseball position that the event character is good at. The "Good practice" field shows the practice items that the event character is good at.

The Level field indicates the level of the event character. The level of the event character may be raised by synthesizing the event character with another event character. In addition, the contents of the following events, bonuses, or ability parameters may be updated as the level of the event character increases.

The Event field indicates event information about the event associated with the event character. In other words, the "event" field indicates event information about the events that can occur in the game if the event character is incorporated into the event deck. Event information is information indicating the name and content of an event. For example, the event information includes information on the type and amount of practice points given to the main character by the occurrence of the event.

The "Bonus" field shows bonus information about the bonus associated with the event character. In other words, the "bonus" field shows bonus information about the bonuses that occur in the game when the event character is incorporated into the event deck. Bonus information is information indicating the name and content of the bonus. For example, when an event character is incorporated into an event deck to increase the probability of occurrence of a specific event, the bonus information includes information indicating the event and information indicating the degree of increase in the probability of occurrence.

The "ability parameter" fold indicates the ability parameter of the event character. For example, when a match event occurs in the training part, the event character incorporated in the event deck participates in the match as a teammate of the main character. When such a match event is executed, the ability parameters of the event character are referred to.

Further, for example, the event deck table TBL302 is stored in the data storage unit 300. The event deck table TBL302 is a data table showing the state of the event deck of each user. FIG. 10 shows an example of the event deck table TBL302. As shown in FIG. 10, the event deck table TBL302 includes the fields described below.

Similar to FIG. 9, the "user ID" field indicates identification information for identifying the user. The "first setting frame" field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A211 of the event deck setting area A210. If the event character is not set in the setting frame A211, the "first setting frame" field is blank. Similarly, the "second setting frame" field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A212. The "third setting frame" field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A213. The "fourth setting frame" field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A214. The "fifth setting frame" field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A215.

Further, for example, the breeding character table TBL303 is stored in the data storage unit 300. The training character table TBL303 is a data table showing a list of the main character characters trained or being trained by each user. FIG. 11 shows an example of the breeding character table TBL303. As shown in FIG. 11, the breeding character table TBL303 includes the fields described below.

Similar to FIG. 9, the "user ID" field indicates identification information for identifying the user. The "training character ID" field indicates identification information for identifying the main character that the user has trained or is training. The "Name" field indicates the name of the main character that the user has trained or is training. The "Position" field indicates the baseball position that the user is good at or is developing.

The "ability parameter", "physical strength parameter", and "motivation parameter" fields indicate the ability parameter, physical strength parameter, and motivation parameter of the main character that the user has trained or is training, respectively.

The "practice point" field indicates the amount of practice points given to the main character being trained by the user. In addition, the "cultivation status" field shows the current development status. That is, the "cultivation status" field indicates whether the cultivation has been completed or is in progress. If training is in progress, the “Raising Status” field also indicates the current in-game time.

Next, the individual data storage unit 100, the request unit 110, and the processing unit 310 will be described. The individual data storage unit 100 is for storing data related to the user of the user terminal 10 among the data stored in the data storage unit 300. Further, the requesting unit 110 and the processing unit 310 acquire data relating to the user of the user terminal 10 from the data stored in the data storage unit 300, and store the data in the individual data storage unit 100 or individually. When the data stored in the data storage unit 100 is updated, the data stored in the data storage unit 300 is also updated in the same manner.

The request unit 110 requests the server 30 to return the data stored in association with the user ID by transmitting the user ID of the user of the user terminal 10 to the server 30 at a predetermined timing. The "predetermined timing" is, for example, the timing at which the game program is started, the timing at which the main menu screen image G100 is displayed, the timing at which the training part is started, and the like.

When the above request is received by the server 30, the processing unit 310 acquires the data stored in association with the received user ID from the data storage unit 300 and transmits the data to the user terminal 10. For example, the processing unit 310 acquires the event character data stored in association with the user ID from the event character table TBL301, and transmits the event character data to the user terminal 10. Similarly, the processing unit 310 acquires the event deck data and the training character data stored in association with the user ID from the event deck table TBL302 and the training character table TBL303, and obtains the event deck data and the training character data from the user terminal 10. Send to.

When the data returned from the server 30 is received by the user terminal 10, the requesting unit 110 stores the data in the individual data storage unit 100.

For example, the request unit 110 stores the event character data returned from the server 30 in the event character table TBL 101 included in the individual data storage unit 100. The event character table TBL101 is a data table for storing only the event character of the user of the user terminal 10, and is, for example, a data table including the same fields as the event character table TBL301 shown in FIG. (The "User ID" field may be excluded).

Further, the request unit 110 stores the event deck data returned from the server 30 in the event deck table TBL 102 included in the individual data storage unit 100. The event deck table TBL102 is a data table for storing only the event deck of the user of the user terminal 10, and is, for example, a data table including the same fields as the event deck table TBL302 shown in FIG. (The "User ID" field may be excluded).

Further, the requesting unit 110 stores the training character data returned from the server 30 in the training character table TBL103 included in the individual data storage unit 100. The training character table TBL103 is a data table for storing only the training characters of the user of the user terminal 10, and is, for example, a data table including the same fields as the training character table TBL303 shown in FIG. (The "User ID" field may be excluded).

The data stored in the individual data storage unit 100 is referred to or updated during the execution of the baseball game. When the data stored in the individual data storage unit 100 is updated, the request unit 110 notifies the server 30 of the updated content together with the user ID of the user of the user terminal 10 at a predetermined timing, thereby storing the data. The data stored in the unit 30 is also requested to be updated in the same manner. The "predetermined timing" is, for example, a timing at predetermined time intervals, a timing at which the user finishes playing, or the like.

When the above request is received by the server 30, the processing unit 310 is notified from the user terminal 10 of the data stored in the data storage unit 30 (that is, the data stored in association with the received user ID). Update according to the updated contents.

Next, the display control unit 120 will be described. The display control unit 120 executes control for displaying a plurality of options related to the game control content on the display means.

Here, the "game control content" is the content of the game control. For example, if "game control" is to "generate an event in a game", the type or content of the event corresponds to an example of "game control content". Further, for example, if "game control" is to "generate an effect advantageous to the user in the game", the type or content of the effect corresponds to an example of "game control content". Further, for example, if the "game control" is "giving a game object to the user", the type of the game object or the like corresponds to an example of the "game control content". Further, for example, if "game control" is to "advance the game story", the content of the game story corresponds to an example of "game control content".

The "plurality of options relating to game control content" is, for example, an option presented to the user for the purpose of allowing the user to specify a desired game control content. The user can specify the desired game control content by selecting at least one option. In other words, the "plurality of options relating to the game control content" is, for example, an option presented to the user for the purpose of determining the game control content desired by the user. The game control content desired by the user is determined depending on which option the user selects.

The "display means" is, for example, a display device used by the user. For example, the "display means" is a terminal used by the user and provided with a display unit. For example, the "display means" is a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a portable game machine, or the like. For example, the "display means" may be a display device connected to the terminal used by the user. For example, the "display means" may be a display device connected to a stationary game machine or a desktop computer.

“Displaying a plurality of options on the display means” may mean, for example, displaying a plurality of options on the display means at once, or displaying the plurality of options on the display means in a plurality of times. It may be that. For example, a part of the plurality of options may be displayed on the display means, and then the rest may be displayed on the display means.

“Executing control for displaying a plurality of options” means, for example, generating a screen image showing a plurality of options and displaying the screen image on the display means. Further, "execution of control for displaying a plurality of options" means, for example, generating data necessary for displaying a screen image showing a plurality of options, and using the data as a display means or a display means. The screen image may be displayed on the display means by transmitting the screen image to the connected terminal. The "data required for displaying the screen image" may be data indicating the screen image itself or may be data necessary for generating the screen image.

For example, in the case of the baseball game shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the display control unit 120 has a plurality of effects related to the content of the effect advantageous for varying the ability parameter of the main character (an example of the parameter of the first game object). Control for displaying the options on the display unit 15 is executed.

Specifically, the display control unit 120 executes control for displaying the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shown in FIG. 6 on the display unit 15. That is, the display control unit 120 executes control for displaying the processing objects P410 and P420 on the display unit 15 as the plurality of options. That is, the display control unit 120 provides the display unit 15 with an effect of facilitating the improvement of the pitcher ability parameter (processing object P410) and an effect of facilitating the improvement of the fielder ability parameter (processing object P420) as the plurality of options. Perform control to display.

In other words, the display control unit 120 executes control for displaying the options related to the policy of how to change the ability parameters of the main character on the display unit 15 as the plurality of options. That is, the display control unit 120 displays on the display unit 15 a policy for improving the pitcher ability parameter (processing object P410) and a policy for improving the fielder ability parameter (processing object P420) as the plurality of options. Take control.

Next, the selection condition setting unit 130 will be described. The selection condition setting unit 130 is for selecting at least one game object corresponding to at least one option selected by the user from among a plurality of game objects based on at least one option selected by the user. Set selection conditions.

The "selection condition" is a condition for selecting at least one game object corresponding to at least one option selected by the user from a plurality of game objects. That is, the "selection condition" is a condition for selecting at least one game object such that the game control of the content desired by the user is executed. For example, conditions related to game object parameters are set as "selection conditions". As will be described later, when selecting at least one from a plurality of game objects, at least one game object is selected so that this selection condition is satisfied. In other words, at least one game object that satisfies this selection condition is selected.

"Setting selection conditions based on the choices selected by the user" means, for example, selecting at least one of a plurality of predetermined selection conditions based on the choices selected by the user. is there.

For example, the selection condition setting unit 130 corresponds to at least one option selected by the user from the plurality of selection conditions based on the data in which the correspondence between the plurality of options and the plurality of selection conditions is determined. Select at least one selection condition.

The "data in which the correspondence between the plurality of options and the plurality of selection conditions is defined" may be, for example, data in which the options and the selection conditions are associated with each other on a one-to-one basis, or may be a combination of options. The data may be associated with selection conditions. Further, this data may be, for example, table format data in which selection conditions are associated with options (or combinations of options), or processing for setting selection conditions for options (or combinations of options). May be the associated program.

For example, in the baseball game shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, as described above, a plurality of options related to the content of the effect advantageous for varying the ability parameter of the main character are displayed on the display unit 15. Therefore, the selection condition setting unit 130 selects at least one option selected by the user from among a plurality of event characters (an example of a plurality of second game objects) based on at least one option selected by the user. Set the selection condition for selecting at least one event character corresponding to the content of the effect corresponding to.

That is, the selection condition setting unit 130 sets a selection condition for selecting at least one event character associated with the effect information corresponding to at least one option selected by the user. Here, the "effect information" is information indicating the type and content of the effect. For example, the event information and the good practice information stored in the "event" and "good practice" fields of the event character table TBL101 correspond to an example of "effect information".

For example, the case where the processing object P410 of the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shown in FIG. 6 is selected is the case where the effect that facilitates the improvement of the pitcher ability is selected. Therefore, the selection condition setting unit 130 sets the selection condition for selecting the event character having the effect. In this case, selection conditions are set for selecting an event character associated with an event that is advantageous for improving the pitcher's ability and an event character associated with an event character that is associated with a practice item for pitchers.

On the other hand, the case where the processing object P420 is selected is the case where the effect that facilitates the improvement of the fielder ability is selected. Therefore, the selection condition setting unit 130 sets the selection condition for selecting the event character having the effect. In this case, a selection condition for selecting an event character associated with an event that is advantageous for improving the fielder's ability and an event character associated with an event character that is good at practicing for a fielder is set.

It can be said that the case where the processing object P410 is selected is the case where the policy for improving the pitcher ability is selected. Therefore, it can be said that the selection condition setting unit 130 sets the selection condition for selecting at least one event character associated with the effect information that matches the policy. Here, the "effect information that matches the policy" is an effect (effect information) that is advantageous for improving the ability of the event character in accordance with the policy. In this case, selection conditions are set for selecting an event character associated with an event that is advantageous for improving the pitcher's ability and an event character associated with an event character that is associated with a practice item for pitchers.

On the other hand, the case where the processing object P420 is selected can be said to be the case where the policy for improving the fielder ability is selected. Therefore, it can be said that the selection condition setting unit 130 sets the selection condition for selecting at least one event character associated with the effect information that matches the policy. In this case, a selection condition for selecting an event character associated with an event that is advantageous for improving the fielder's ability and an event character associated with an event character that is good at practicing for a fielder is set.

The game object selection unit 140 will be described. The game object selection unit 140 selects at least one game object from a plurality of game objects based on the selection conditions set (selected) by the selection condition setting unit 130.

Here, "selecting at least one game object based on the selection condition" means selecting at least one game object so that the selection condition is satisfied. In other words, select at least one GameObject that satisfies the selection criteria.

For example, in the case of the baseball game shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the game object selection unit 140 has a plurality of event characters owned by the user (a plurality of second games) based on the selection conditions set by the selection condition setting unit 130. Select at least one event character from (an example of an object).

That is, the game object selection unit 140 selects at least one event character from the plurality of event characters owned by the user based on the selection conditions set by the selection condition setting unit 130, and at least one of the selected event characters. Incorporate one event character into the event deck. For example, the game object selection unit 140 refers to the event character table TBL101, and among a plurality of event characters owned by the user, an event character satisfying the selection conditions set by the selection condition setting unit 130 is incorporated into the event deck. Select as the event character to be. Further, the game object selection unit 140 accesses the event deck table TBL102 and registers the selected event character in the event deck table TBL102.

When the event character is selected by the game object selection unit 140, the display control unit 120 provides effect information associated with the event character (an example of the second game object) selected by the game object selection unit 140. A control for displaying information on the content of the effect to be shown on the display unit 15 (an example of the display means) is executed.

“Executing control for displaying information” means, for example, generating a screen image showing information and displaying the screen image on the display unit 15. Further, "execution of control for displaying information" means, for example, generating data necessary for displaying a screen image showing information and displaying the data on a display means or a terminal connected to the display means. The screen image may be displayed on the display means by transmitting to. The "data required for displaying the screen image" may be data indicating the screen image itself or may be data necessary for generating the screen image.

"Information on the content of the effect" is information indicating the content of the effect. In other words, the "information about the content of the effect" is text information, image information, or the like that enables the user to grasp the content of the effect.

For example, the display control unit 120 executes control for displaying the event deck screen image G500 shown in FIG. 7 on the display unit 15. As shown in FIG. 7, the display control unit 120 is good at practice items (effect information associated with the event character) of the event character selected by the game object selection unit 140 (that is, the event character incorporated in the event deck). (Example of information on the content of the effect shown by) is displayed in the special practice display area A220 of the event deck screen image G500.

The game control unit 150 will be described. The game control unit 150 executes game control based on at least one game object selected by the game object selection unit 140.

For example, in the case of the baseball game shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the game control unit 150 has at least one event character incorporated into the event deck by the game object selection unit 140 (that is, at least one selected by the game object selection unit 140). Execute the training part based on one event character (an example of the second game object). That is, the game control unit 150 generates an effect advantageous for changing the ability parameter of the main character based on at least one event character incorporated in the event deck by the game object selection unit 140 in the training part.

For example, the game control unit 150 generates an effect indicated by the effect information associated with at least one event character incorporated in the event deck by the game object selection unit 140 in the training part.

Specifically, the game control unit 150 refers to the event character table TBL101 and the event deck table TBL102, and develops the effect indicated by the event information or the good practice information associated with at least one event character incorporated in the event deck. Generate in.

That is, the game control unit 150 generates the event indicated by the above event information in the training part. When the ability parameter of the main character is updated by the event, the game control unit 150 accesses the training character table TBL103 and updates the ability parameter of the main character being trained. Further, when the practice command corresponding to the practice item indicated by the above-mentioned good practice information is selected, the game control unit 150 gives the main character more practice points than in the normal case. When giving practice points to the main character, the game control unit 150 accesses the training character table TBL103 to increase the practice points of the main character being trained.

[4. Processing executed in the game system]
Next, an example of the processing executed in the game system 1 will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining an example of processing executed in the user terminal 10 when the processing object P230 of the event deck screen image G200 is selected. The control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 executes the process shown in FIG. 12 based on the program stored in the storage unit 12.

When the processing object P230 of the event deck screen image G200 is selected, as shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 causes the display unit 15 to display the automatic setting menu screen image G400 (S100). Then, while the automatic setting menu screen image G400 is displayed, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the training policy of either the "pitcher" or the "fielder" is selected by the user (S102). That is, the control unit 11 determines whether or not any of the processing objects P410 or P420 has been selected by the user. Then, when any of the training policies is selected by the user, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the training policy selected by the user is a "pitcher" (S104).

For example, when the processing object P410 is selected by the user, the control unit 11 determines that the training policy selected by the user is "pitcher". In this case, the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL101 and acquires a list of event characters having an effect of easily improving the pitcher ability from the event characters owned by the user (S106). The "event character having the effect of facilitating the improvement of pitcher ability" is associated with an event character to which an event advantageous for improving pitcher ability is associated, or a practice item for pitchers as a good practice item. Event character.

On the other hand, when the processing object P420 is selected by the user, the control unit 11 determines that the training policy selected by the user is a "fielder". In this case, the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL101 and acquires a list of event characters having an effect of easily improving the fielder ability from the event characters owned by the user (S108). The "event character that has the effect of facilitating the improvement of fielder ability" is associated with an event character that is associated with an event that is advantageous for improving fielder ability, or a practice item for fielders as a good practice item. Event character.

After step S106 or S108 is executed, the control unit 11 selects an event character to be incorporated into the event deck based on the list acquired in step S106 or S108 (S110).

For example, when the number of event characters included in the list is "5" or less, the control unit 11 selects the event characters included in the list as event characters to be incorporated into the event deck. Further, when the number of event characters included in the list is less than "5", the control unit 11 should incorporate the event characters into the event deck by selecting another event character from the event characters owned by the user. Five event characters are selected as event characters.

On the other hand, when the number of event characters included in the list is "6" or more, the control unit 11 selects five event characters from the event characters included in the list.

Here, as the selection criteria for selecting five event characters from the event characters included in the list, for example, the selection criteria described below can be used. In the following, an example of the above selection criteria will be described on the assumption that step S110 is executed after step S106 is executed. That is, assuming a case where five event characters are selected from the list of event characters having the effect of easily improving the pitcher ability acquired in step S106, an example of the above selection criteria will be described.

[Example 1] For example, the control unit 11 gives priority to an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the pitcher's ability over an event character associated with an event character for which the pitcher's practice item is good. You may choose.

[Example 2] On the contrary, the control unit 11 gives priority to the event character to which the practice item for the pitcher is associated as a good practice item over the event character to which the event advantageous for improving the pitcher's ability is associated. You may choose to.

[Example 3] Further, for example, the control unit 11 may preferentially select an event character associated with a specific event among the events advantageous for improving the pitcher ability over other event characters. ..

[Example 4] Further, for example, the control unit 11 preferentially selects an event character to which a specific practice item among the practice items for pitchers is associated as a good practice item over other event characters. You may.

[Example 5] Further, for example, the control unit 11 has an event effect (for example, the amount of practice points given by the event or the ability due to the event) among the event characters associated with the event which is advantageous for improving the pitcher ability. The event character with a large degree of improvement) may be selected with priority over the event character with a small event effect.

[Example 6] Further, for example, the control unit 11 has a good practice effect (for example, the degree of increase in practice points due to the good practice) among the event characters in which the practice item for the pitcher is associated with the good practice item. A large event character may be selected with priority over an event character having a small good practice effect.

[Example 7] Further, for example, the control unit 11 selects an event character having a high rarity from the event characters included in the list (that is, an event character satisfying the selection condition) from an event character having a low rarity. May be preferentially selected.

[Example 7-1] For example, the control unit 11 may select an event character having the highest rarity from the event characters included in the list.

[Example 7-2] Further, for example, as described above, since there may be event characters having the same name but different rarities, such as the player character A in the example shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of event characters with the same name have the same name. When the event character is included in the list, the control unit 11 preferentially selects the event character having a high rarity among the plurality of event characters having the same name over the event character having a low rarity. You may do it. For example, the control unit 11 may select only the event character having the highest rarity from the plurality of event characters having the same name, and may not select the remaining event characters.

In addition, there may be a case where a plurality of event characters having the same rarity are included in a plurality of event characters having the same name. In such cases, the level of those event characters may be considered.

As described in the description of the "level" field of the event character table TBL301, in this baseball game, the level of the event character is increased by synthesizing the event character with another event character. Therefore, even if the event characters have the same name and the same rarity, they may have different levels.

Therefore, when a plurality of event characters having the same rarity are included in a plurality of event characters having the same name, the control unit 11 performs a high-level event from among the plurality of event characters having the same rarity. The character may be selected in preference to the low-level event character.

For example, when a plurality of event characters having the same name and having the highest rarity of "super rare (SR)" are included, the control unit 11 sets the "super rare (SR)". The event character with a high level may be preferentially selected over the event character with a low level from among the plurality of event characters for which "" is set. For example, the control unit 11 may select only the event character having the highest level and not select the remaining event characters. Note that the above example targets multiple event characters with the same rarity and the same name, and selects a high-level event character from among them, but as another variation, different names with the same rarity. It is possible to target a plurality of event characters in the above and select a high-level event character from them.

[Example 7-3] Further, for example, when selecting an event character from the event characters associated with an event that is advantageous for improving the pitcher ability, the control unit 11 selects the event character having a high degree of rarity. It may be selected in preference to the lower event character.

[Example 7-4] Alternatively, when an event character having a large event effect is preferentially selected over an event character having a small event effect from among the event characters associated with an event that is advantageous for improving the pitching ability. When there are a plurality of event characters having the same event effect, the control unit 11 gives priority to the event character having a high rarity over the event character having a low rarity among the plurality of event characters. It may be selected as a target.

[Example 7-5] Alternatively, when selecting an event character from the event characters associated with the practice item for the pitcher as a good practice item, the control unit 11 selects the event character with a high degree of rarity. The event character with a low value may be selected with priority.

[Example 7-6] Alternatively, from among the event characters in which the practice items for pitchers are associated with the practice items that are good at, the event character that has a large good practice effect is preferentially selected over the event character that has a small good practice effect. When a plurality of event characters having the same good practice effect exist, the control unit 11 selects an event character having a high rarity among the plurality of event characters and has a low rarity. It may be selected with priority over the event character.

The user may be able to set a desired selection criterion in advance as the selection criterion.

For example, when using the selection criteria of Example 3 above, the user can specify a specific event in advance on the setting screen (for example, option screen or customization screen) for performing various settings. May be good. Then, the control unit 11 preferentially selects an event character associated with a specific event designated by the user among the events advantageous for improving the pitcher ability over the other event characters. May be good.

Specifically, for example, the user may be able to specify in advance any event such as "ball speed-oriented", "control-oriented", "changing ball-oriented", and "balance-oriented". .. Then, when the event designated in advance by the user is "focus on ball speed", the control unit 11 preferentially selects the event character associated with the event advantageous for improving the "ball speed" over the other event characters. You may try to do it.

Further, for example, the user may be able to specify in advance any event such as "humorous event", "tense event", and "impressive event". Then, when the event designated in advance by the user is an "impressive event", the control unit 11 associates an event classified as an "impressive event" among the events advantageous for improving the pitcher ability. The event character being selected may be selected with priority over other event characters.

Similarly, when using the selection criteria of Example 4 above, the user can specify specific practice items in advance on the setting screen (for example, option screen or customization screen) for performing various settings. It may be. Then, the control unit 11 may preferentially select the event character in which the practice item specified by the user is associated with the practice item that is good at the pitcher's practice item over the other event characters. Good.

In the above, it is assumed that step S110 is executed after step S106 is executed (that is, when five event characters are selected from the list of event characters having an effect of easily improving the pitcher ability). Then, the above-mentioned example of the selection criterion has been described, but when step S110 is executed after step S108 is executed (that is, 5 from the list of event characters having an effect that the fielder ability is easily improved). Similar selection criteria can be used (when selecting one event character).

After step S110 is executed, the control unit 11 updates the user's event deck based on the selection result in step S110 (S112). That is, the control unit 11 registers the event character selected in step S110 in the event deck table TBL102. That is, the control unit 11 accesses the event deck table TBL102 and registers the event character ID of the event character selected in step S110 in the "first setting frame" to "fifth setting frame" fields. After that, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the event deck screen image G500 showing the updated event deck (S114). At this time, the event deck screen image G500 is generated based on the event character table TBL101 and the event deck table TBL102.

In the game system 1 (user terminal 10) described above, if the user selects one of a plurality of options (processing objects P410, P420) displayed on the automatic setting menu screen image G400, a desired event ( An event character is selected that produces the desired effect). According to the game system 1 (user terminal 10), by selecting a desired option, an event character that causes a desired event is selected. Therefore, an event character that causes a desired event can be selected. It will be possible to assist the user so that it can be done easily.

In addition, the automatic setting menu screen image G400 displays a plurality of options regarding the training policy of the main character. If the user selects a desired training policy, an event character that causes an event that matches the desired training policy is selected, and an event corresponding to the event character is generated. According to the game system 1 (user terminal 10), by selecting a desired training policy, an event character that causes an event that matches the desired training policy is selected, so that the event character matches the desired training policy. It is possible to assist the user in easily selecting the event character.

Further, on the event deck screen image G500, the special practice information of the event character incorporated in the event deck by the automatic setting of the event deck is displayed. Therefore, the user can grasp the practice items that the event character is good at incorporated in the event deck. Therefore, the user can grasp what kind of effect is generated in the game.

In the embodiment described above, the display control unit 120, the selection condition setting unit 130, the game object selection unit 140, and the game control unit 150 are realized by the user terminal 10, and the processing of these functional blocks (FIG. 12). The process shown) is executed based on the data stored in the individual data storage unit 100 of the user terminal 10. As a result, the access from the user terminal 10 to the server 30 when executing the above processing is reduced. That is, it is designed so that a huge load is not applied to the server 30 by being accessed from a large number of user terminals 10 at the same time.

[5. Modification example]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above.

[1] In the embodiment described above, the data related to each user (for example, FIGS. 9 to 11) is collectively managed by the server 30, and the user terminal 10 acquires the data related to the user from the server 30. However, the data related to each user may not be collectively managed by the server 30. That is, the data related to the user may be individually managed by the user terminal 10. In this case, the request unit 110, the processing unit 310, and the data storage unit 300 shown in FIG. 8 can be omitted.

[2] In the game system 1, the game may be executed by executing data communication between the user terminal 10 and the server 30. For example, the game may be executed by displaying a screen image on the display unit 15 of the user terminal 10 based on the data provided from the server 30 based on the request from the user terminal 10. FIG. 13 is a functional block diagram of the game system 1 in such a case.

As shown in FIG. 13, the server 30 (an example of a game control device) includes a data storage unit 300, a display control unit 320, a selection condition setting unit 330, a game object selection unit 340, and a game control unit 350. Functional blocks other than the data storage unit 300 are realized by the control unit 31 executing processing according to a program. Since the data storage unit 300 is the same as the data storage unit 300 of FIG. 8, description thereof will be omitted here.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the user terminal 10 includes a display control unit 160 and an automatic setting request unit 170. These functional blocks are realized by the control unit 11 executing processing according to a program.

The display control unit 320 will be described. The display control unit 320 executes control for displaying a plurality of options related to the game control content on the display means. Since the function of the display control unit 320 is basically the same as that of the display control unit 120 of FIG. 8, description thereof will be omitted here. However, since the display control unit 320 is provided in the server 30, for example, the display control unit 320 transmits data necessary for displaying the automatic setting menu screen image G400 or the event deck screen image G500 to the user terminal 10. To do. Then, based on this data, the display control unit 160 of the user terminal 10 causes the display unit 15 to display the automatic setting menu screen image G400 or the event deck screen image G500.

Next, the automatic setting request unit 170 and the selection condition setting unit 330 will be described. The automatic setting request unit 170 transmits to the server 30 information indicating at least one option selected by the user from the plurality of options displayed on the display unit 15 by the display control unit 320. The selection condition setting unit 330 is for selecting at least one game object corresponding to at least one option selected by the user from among a plurality of game objects based on at least one option selected by the user. Set selection conditions. Since the function of the selection condition setting unit 330 is basically the same as that of the selection condition setting unit 130 of FIG. 8, description thereof will be omitted here.

Next, the game object selection unit 340 and the game control unit 350 will be described. The game object selection unit 340 selects at least one game object from the plurality of game objects based on the selection conditions set (selected) by the selection condition setting unit 330. The game control unit 350 executes game control based on at least one game object selected by the game object selection unit 340. Since the functions of the game object selection unit 340 and the game control unit 350 are basically the same as those of the game object selection unit 140 and the game control unit 150 of FIG. 8, description thereof will be omitted here.

Next, an example of the process executed by the game system 1 in order to realize the functional block shown in FIG. 13 will be described. FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining an example of processing executed in the game system 1 when the processing object P230 of the event deck screen image G200 is selected. Among the processes shown in FIG. 14, the process related to the user terminal 10 is executed by the control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 based on the program stored in the storage unit 12, and the process related to the server 30 is executed by the control unit 31 of the server 30. It is executed based on the program stored in the storage unit 32. In the following, the process shown in FIG. 14 will be described on the assumption that the user X selects the process object P230.

When the processing object P230 of the event deck screen image G200 is selected, as shown in FIG. 14, the control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 requests the data of the automatic setting menu screen image G400 from the server 30 (S120). The data of the automatic setting menu screen image G400 is data necessary for displaying the automatic setting menu screen image G400 on the display unit 15 of the user terminal 10. The control unit 31 of the server 30 receives the above request (S300) and returns the data of the automatic setting menu screen image G400 to the user terminal 10 (S302). The control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 receives the data returned from the server 30 (S122). If the data necessary for displaying the automatic setting menu screen image G400 is stored in the user terminal 10 in advance, these processes (steps S120, S300, S302, S122) may be omitted.

The control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 causes the display unit 15 to display the automatic setting menu screen image G400 (S124). Then, while the automatic setting menu screen image G400 is displayed, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the training policy of either the “pitcher” or the “fielder” is selected (S126). That is, the control unit 11 determines whether or not either the processing object P410 or P420 is selected.

When any of the training policies is selected, the control unit 11 transmits an event deck automatic setting request to the server 30 (S128). In this case, information indicating which of the "pitcher" and the "fielder" was selected as the training policy is transmitted to the server 30 together with the user ID of the user X. For example, when the processing object P410 is selected, information indicating that the "pitcher" has been selected as the training policy is transmitted to the server 30. On the other hand, when the processing object P420 is selected, information indicating that the "fielder" has been selected as the training policy is transmitted to the server 30.

The control unit 31 of the server 30 receives the automatic setting request of the event deck (S304). In this case, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the training policy selected by the user X is a “pitcher” (S306).

When the training policy selected by the user X is "pitcher", the control unit 31 has an effect of easily improving the pitcher ability from the event characters owned by the user X by referring to the event character table TBL301. Acquire a list of event characters (S308). The process of step S308 is basically the same as that of step S106 of FIG.

On the other hand, when the training policy selected by the user X is "fielder", the control unit 31 refers to the event character table TBL301 and has an effect that the fielder ability is easily improved from the event characters owned by the user X. Get a list of event characters with (S310). The processing of step S310 is basically the same as that of step S108 of FIG.

After step S308 or S310 is executed, the control unit 31 selects an event character to be incorporated into the event deck based on the list acquired in step S308 or S310 (S312). The process of step S312 is basically the same as that of step S110 of FIG.

After that, the control unit 31 updates the event deck of the user X based on the selection result in step S312 (S314). That is, the control unit 31 registers the event character selected in step S312 in the event deck table TBL302. That is, the control unit 31 accesses the event deck table TBL302, and the event character ID of the event character selected in step S312 is associated with the user ID of the user X in the "first setting frame" to the "fifth setting frame". Register in the field.

After that, the control unit 31 generates data of the event deck screen image G500 showing the updated event deck of the user X, and transmits the data to the user terminal 10 (S316). The control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 receives the above data (S130), and displays the event deck screen image G500 on the display unit 15 based on the data (S132).

As described above, even when the game is executed by executing data communication between the user terminal 10 and the server 30, the user can easily select an event character that causes a desired event. It will be possible to assist in doing so.

[3] In steps S106 and S108 of FIG. 12 and steps S308 and S310 of FIG. 14, a list of event characters was acquired in consideration of the training policy selected by the user (that is, event character selection conditions). However, factors other than the training policy selected by the user may be taken into consideration.

For example, a list of event characters may be acquired in consideration of the type or content of the scenario (game story) executed in the training part. For example, in step S106 of FIG. 12, it is possible to acquire a list of event characters that have the effect of facilitating the improvement of the pitcher ability parameter and that match the type or content of the scenario.

For example, when the scenario executed in the training part is a scenario in which the content progresses in a place where there are many characters of a specific type, in step S106 of FIG. 12, an event having an effect of facilitating improvement of the pitcher ability parameter is performed. You may want to get a list of the above-mentioned specific types of event characters that are characters.

Specifically, for example, a place where the scenario executed in the training part has many characters of a specific gender (for example, a school attended only by students of a specific gender, or the number of students of one gender is the other gender. In the case of a scenario in which the content progresses in (a school, etc., which is very large compared to the number of students), in step S106 of FIG. 12, the event character has the effect of facilitating the improvement of the pitcher ability parameter, and is described above. You may want to get a list of event characters of a particular gender.

In order to execute the above processing, for example, data that defines the correspondence between the type of scenario and the event character that matches the type, or the correspondence between the scenario and the event character that matches the content of the scenario. The data or the like for which the relationship is determined may be stored in advance, and the event character suitable for the type or content of the scenario may be specified based on this data.

[4] The user may be able to establish a relationship (for example, a friendship or a fellowship) with another user. That is, the user may be associated with another user. Then, when the user has a relationship with another user, the event deck setting area A210 of the event deck screen image G200 has a setting frame (for example, a helper) in which the event character owned by the other user can be set. A frame or a friend frame, etc.) may be added.

[5] In the embodiment described above, the user can select a desired training policy (in other words, a desired effect) on the automatic setting menu screen image G400, but the user can select the desired training policy (in other words, a desired effect) on the automatic setting menu screen image G400. You may be able to select the desired event. For example, if a travel event is selected as the desired event, the event character associated with the travel event may be selected as the event character to be included in the event deck and included in the event deck. ..

Alternatively, the automatic setting menu screen image G400 may allow the user to select a desired game item. For example, when a bat is selected as the desired game item, an event character associated with an event in which the bat is given to the user (or an event in which the bat is likely to be given to the user) should be incorporated into the event deck. It may be selected as a character and incorporated into the event deck. The "bat" may be a special bat whose fielder ability parameters such as "meet" or "power" are improved by using the "bat".

[6] In the embodiment described above, the event character to be incorporated in the event deck is selected from the event characters owned by the user. For example, the event character to be incorporated in the event deck is a predetermined event. You may be able to select from a group of characters. The "event character group" in this case may be a common event character group that can be arbitrarily selected by all users. Further, even if a certain user selects a predetermined event character, the same event character may be selected by another user without being monopolized by the user.

[7] A game object other than the event character (game character) may be incorporated in the event deck. For example, game items (bats, balls, mitts, etc.) may be incorporated into the event deck. At this time, only the game item may be incorporated into the event deck, or both the game character and the game item may be incorporated into the event deck.

For example, if the bat is incorporated into the event deck, the event associated with the bat may occur in the training part. For example, an event in which batting practice points are given, an event in which more batting practice points are given than usual, or the like may occur.
