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.

In the following, as an example of the game executed by the game system 1, the first game in which the first parameter of the first game object is changed or set based on the operation of the user, and the second game in which the first game object is used are used. Describes the game. Each of the first game and the second game may be a part of one game or may be a separate game. That is, a part of the game executed by a certain game program may be each of the first game and the second game, and the first game is executed by the first game program, and the second game is executed. The second game may be executed by the game program.

Here, before explaining the details of the first game and the second game having the above-mentioned characteristics, terms such as "game object" and "parameter" 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".

The "first game object" is a game object for which the user changes or sets the first parameter. For example, the "first game object" is a game object for which the user improves the ability (performance). For example, the "first game object" is a game character to be trained by the user.

The "first parameter" is, for example, an ability parameter relating to the ability (performance) of the first game object. The "ability parameter" may be, for example, information indicating the magnitude or level of the ability, or information indicating the presence or absence of a specific ability. Further, the "first parameter" may be a state parameter related to the state (condition) of the first game object. The "state parameter" is, for example, information indicating the goodness of the state. When the first game object is a game character, the "first parameter" may be information indicating the character of the first game object. Further, the "first parameter" is a level parameter relating to the strength (level) of the first game object. The "level parameter" is, for example, information indicating the magnitude of the level. The "first parameter" may be information indicating the ability or the like by a numerical value or a flag, or may be information indicating the ability or the like by a symbol (including characters).

"Changing or setting the first parameter" means changing the value of the first parameter or determining (determining) the value of the first parameter. For example, when the first parameter is a numerical value, increasing or decreasing the numerical value corresponds to "changing the first parameter", and determining the increased or decreased numerical value is "determining the first parameter". Corresponds to "setting". Further, for example, when the first parameter is a flag, changing the on / off (valid / invalid) of the flag corresponds to "changing the first parameter", and the changed value is determined. Corresponds to "setting the first parameter". Further, for example, when the first parameter is a symbol, changing the current symbol to another symbol corresponds to "changing the first parameter", and determining the other symbol is "first". Corresponds to "setting parameters".

The "first game" is, for example, a game whose main purpose is to change or set a first parameter. The "first game" is not limited to a game whose purpose is only to change or set the first parameter, but also to a game whose purpose is to change or set the first parameter. good. For example, the "first game" is a training game that trains the first game object.

In other words, the "first game" can be said to be a game in which the user aims to set the first parameter of the first game object to a desired state. The "desired state" is a state in which the first parameter is a predetermined value or a predetermined value or more. For example, the "desired state" is a state in which the ability is the highest in the range that the ability parameter can take or a state in which the ability is equal to or higher than the standard. For example, when the ability parameter changes between 0 and 99, the state where the ability is the highest is the state where the ability parameter is the highest value, 99. The state in which the ability is equal to or higher than the reference is a state in which the ability parameter is equal to or higher than the threshold value (for example, 80). Also, for example, the "desired state" is a state in which the ability parameter indicates that the person has a specific ability. Further, the "desired state" is a state in which the state is the best state or a state above the standard within the range that the state parameter can take. For example, when the state parameter takes any of multiple stages (for example, best, good, normal, evil, and worst), the best state is the best state among these multiple stages. be. The standard or higher is a state of the standard stage or higher (for example, good or higher). Further, for example, the "desired state" is a state in which a state parameter indicates a specific state. Further, the "desired state" is a state in which the personality is the best or a state above the standard within the range that the personality parameter can take. For example, if the personality parameter takes any of multiple levels of personality (eg, best, good, normal, evil, and worst), the best personality is the best of these multiple levels of personality. be. Above the standard is a personality above the standard stage (for example, above the standard). Further, for example, the "desired state" is a state in which a personality parameter indicates a specific personality. Further, for example, the "desired state" is a state of the highest level or a reference level or higher within the range that the level parameter can take. For example, when the level parameter changes between 0 and 99, the highest level is the state of 99 where the level parameter is the highest value. The state of the reference level or higher is a state in which the level parameter is equal to or higher than the threshold value (for example, 80).

The "first game" may be a game in which the parameters of each of the plurality of first game objects are changed or set. That is, the number of the first game objects whose first parameter can be changed or set in the "first game" may be not only one but also a plurality. For example, the "first game" can be repeatedly played by the user, and the first parameter of a new first game object may be changed or set for each play.

In the present embodiment, the "first game" is a game in which a game effect relating to a change or setting of a first parameter is generated based on a second game object. In other words, the "first game" is a game in which a favorable effect is generated to bring the first parameter into a desired state based on the second game object.

The "second game object" is a game object different from the first game object. The "second game object" is, for example, an effect generation game object for generating a game effect related to a change or setting of a first parameter in a 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. A second parameter is associated with the second game object.

The "second parameter" is, for example, a level parameter relating to the strength (level) of the second game object. For example, the level parameter is a numerical value or a symbol indicating the magnitude of the level. For example, the "second parameter" is a rarity parameter relating to the rarity of the second game object. For example, the rarity parameter is a numerical value or a symbol indicating the magnitude of the rarity. For example, the "second parameter" is an ability parameter relating to the ability (performance) of the second game object. The meaning of the ability parameter is the same as that described in the first parameter. The "second parameter" may be changed or set based on the operation of the user, or may be restricted so as not to be changed. For example, the second parameter may be changed or set when the user performs an operation for strengthening the second game object.

The "effect on the first game regarding the change or setting of the first parameter" is, for example, to generate an effect advantageous for changing or setting the first parameter in the first game. For example, an event for changing or setting the first parameter may be generated, or a game item for changing or setting the first parameter may be given to the user. For example, an effect that makes it easy to change or set the first parameter may be generated in the first game. For example, a game event that makes it easy to improve the first parameter may be generated, or a game object that makes it easy to improve the first parameter may be given to the user. Alternatively, it may be branched into a game story that makes it easy to change the first parameter.

The "effect on the first game regarding the change or setting of the first parameter" is an effect for directly changing or setting the first parameter and an effect for indirectly changing or setting the first parameter. And both are included. To directly change or set the first parameter is, for example, to change or set the first parameter immediately when an event occurs. Indirectly changing or setting the first parameter means, for example, that the first parameter is not changed or set when an event occurs, but the parameter for changing or setting the first parameter (for example, FIG. 16 and later described). In FIG. 17, the user increases a game object (for example, a game item for changing or setting an ability parameter) for increasing or setting an ability parameter or changing or setting a first parameter. It is to give to. For example, the user can change or set a first parameter such as an ability parameter using experience points (FIGS. 16, 17, etc.) and game items. For example, the user may use these to change or set a first parameter, such as an ability parameter, after an increase in experience points, or immediately after granting a game item, or after a lapse of time ( For example, after the date has changed), the first parameter may be changed or set for use when the user plays or accesses the game.

The "advantageous effect of bringing the first parameter into a desired state" is an effect of facilitating bringing the first parameter into a desired state. For example, the amount of change of the first parameter is changed so that the first parameter approaches a desired state. For example, when the first parameter is a capacity parameter, the amount of increase in the capacity parameter is increased.

The "second game" is, for example, a game executed based on the first game object. For example, a "second game" is a game in which a given game task is achieved based on a first game object. In other words, the "second game" is a game in which the user aims to achieve a game task based on the first game object.

A "game task" is a task to be achieved in a game. For example, the "game task" is to leave a predetermined result in the second game. The "game task" differs depending on the content of the second game. For example, when the second game is a battle game in which the first game object in which the first parameter is changed in the first game is used, winning the battle may correspond to a "game task".

A "competition game" is a game in which a user and an opponent compete against each other. The opponent may be another user or a computer. For example, a "competition game" is a game in which a battle is performed based on a first game object owned by a user and a first game object owned by an opponent. For example, a "match game" is a game in which a sports match is played.

The "second game" may be a game in which a reward is given according to the content or result of the game. In this case, getting more rewards corresponds to a "game task".

The "reward" is a game object (game item, etc.) or parameter (points, in-game currency) given to the user. The content of the "reward" changes according to the result or content of the game, and the user plays the game with the aim of obtaining a better reward. Good reward means high reward or high rarity of reward.

Next, the outline of the first game and the second game will be described by taking a baseball game as an example. The correspondence between the main terms among the terms explained above and the terms in the baseball game explained below is as follows.・ "1st game": Success part ・ "2nd game": Stadium part ・ "1st game object": Main character or original character ・ "2nd game object": Event character ・ "1st parameter": Main character Or the ability parameter of the original character ・ "Second parameter": Level parameter of the event character

FIG. 2 shows an example of a home screen image of a baseball game. As shown in FIG. 2, various parameters related to a user playing a baseball game are displayed in the upper area A110 of the home screen image G100. The upper area A110 includes areas A111 to A116 for displaying various parameters related to the user.

Area A111 indicates a user name. Area A112 indicates the amount of coins owned by the user. The "coin" is a virtual currency used in the game, and is used for strengthening the event character described later (see FIGS. 23 to 27). Area A113 indicates the number of power stones owned by the user. "Power Stone" is a game item required to perform a lottery (gacha) to obtain event characters, and to exceptionally recover parameters that are normally recovered over time.

Area A114 indicates the user's success point. Success points are points required to play a success part (see FIGS. 3 to 19) described later. As will be described later, the success part is a game part in which a user trains a game character (an example of a first game object) who is a baseball player and creates his or her own original character. Success points are reduced (consumed) when the user starts playing in success mode, and increase (recovered) over time. The area A114 may display the remaining time until the success points are fully recovered.

Area A115 shows the rank and overall strength of the user's team. In this baseball game, users can form their own team using the original characters trained in the success part in the past (see Figures 29 and 30), and can also play against other users' teams. (See FIGS. 34 and 35). For example, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 2, the alphabet (B) displayed in the area A115 indicates the rank of the user's team. "B" is a lower rank than "A" and is a higher rank than "C". The numerical value (10200) displayed in the area A115 indicates the total strength of the user's team. For example, the higher the value, the higher the overall strength. The total power is calculated based on the abilities of the game characters belonging to the team.

Area A116 indicates the number of match tickets owned by the user. A "match ticket" is a game item required to play against another user's team in the stadium part described later. A user can play against another user's team by using one match ticket. The number of match tickets will increase (recover) over time. The area A116 may display the remaining time until the number of match tickets increases.

A plurality of processing objects P121 to P125 are displayed in the lower region A120 of the home screen image G100. 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.

The processing object P121 is associated with a process for returning to the home screen image G100. When the user selects the processing object P121 displayed on the screen image while the screen image other than the home screen image G100 is displayed on the display unit 15, the home screen image G100 is displayed on the display unit 15.

The processing object P122 is associated with a process for displaying a screen image for forming a team of users. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 28 to 30). Further, the processing object P123 is associated with a process for displaying a screen image for confirming the event character owned by the user, organizing the deck of the event character, and strengthening the event character. ing. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 20 to 27).

The processing object P124 is associated with a process for displaying a screen image for performing a lottery (gacha) for obtaining an event character. When the user selects the processing object P124, a screen image for performing the lottery is displayed on the display unit 15.

The processing object P125 may be used to purchase power stones or receive success points or match tickets in exchange for real-world currencies (eg dollars and yen) or currencies used outside the game (eg electronic money and points). A process for displaying a screen image for recovery is associated. When the user selects the processing object P125, a screen image for purchasing power stones or recovering success points or match tickets is displayed on the display unit 15 in exchange for real-world currency.

Further, the home screen image G100 includes a processing object P130. The processing object P130 is associated with a process for displaying a menu screen image. When the user selects the processing object P130, the menu screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. Through this menu screen image, the user can establish a relationship (for example, a friendship or a friendship) with another user and confirm the notification from the game provider.

Further, the home screen image G100 includes processing objects P140, P150, and P160. This baseball game has three parts, a success part, a stadium part, and a challenge part, and the processing objects P140, P150, and P160 are for the user to select one of these parts. ..

The processing object P140 is associated with the success part, and the user can play the success part by selecting the processing object P140. As described above, the success part is a game part for nurturing game characters, and the details of the success part will be described later (see FIGS. 3 to 19).

The processing object P150 is associated with the stadium part, and the user can play the stadium part by selecting the processing object P150. As described above, the stadium part is a game part that plays against the teams of other users, and the details of the stadium part will be described later (see FIGS. 34 and 35).

The processing object P160 is associated with the challenge part, and the challenge part is executed when the user selects the processing object P160. In this baseball game, for example, a plurality of game tasks such as "cultivating three player characters in the success part" and "winning 100 in the stadium part" are set in advance. In the challenge part, the user can check the achievement status of each game task and get the reward associated with the game task that he / she has achieved. The above-mentioned tasks may be set daily, weekly, or monthly.

As shown in FIG. 2, the processing objects P140, P150, and P160 are displayed at positions corresponding to the three vertices of the erect triangle, respectively, and the user can use the processing objects P140, P150, and P160 among the processing objects P140, P150, and P160. When either is selected, the selected processing object is displayed at the position corresponding to the upper vertex.

The example shown in FIG. 2 shows a state in which the processing object P140 associated with the success part is selected. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2, the processing objects P141 to P143 related to the success part are displayed.

In the success part, the user trains the hero character by having the game character (hereinafter referred to as "hero character") practice while advancing the scenario, and creates his own original character. Here, the "scenario" is a game story developed as the game progresses.

As an example of the above scenario, a game story is provided 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.). Then, if the evaluation of the scout of the professional baseball team who observes the practice and the game of the hero character is above the standard, the hero character is scouted as a professional baseball player in the fall of the third grade of high school.

In this embodiment, a plurality of scenarios are provided as scenarios in the success part. For example, the high school to which the main character belongs differs between these multiple scenarios. Specifically, the scenario in which the high school to which the hero character belongs is a general high school, the scenario in which the high school to which the hero character belongs is a prestigious high school in baseball, and the high school to which the hero character belongs are boys and girls. A scenario in which the number of students in a high school is much larger than that in one of the students is provided as the above-mentioned plurality of scenarios.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the processing objects P141, P142, and P143 are associated with scenario A (high school A), scenario B (high school B), and scenario C (high school C), respectively. When the user selects any of the processing objects P141 to P143, the selected processing object is displayed in the center of the home screen image G100.

The example shown in FIG. 2 shows a state in which the processing object P142 associated with the scenario B (B high school) is selected. If the user further selects the processing object P142 in this state, the success part is executed. In this case, the success part scenario is scenario B.

Here, the flow of the success part will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of the flow of the success part. As shown in FIG. 3, in the success part, the main part is executed after the prepart is executed. In the pre-part, the information necessary to execute the main part is registered and set.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the prepart, first, the basic information of the main character is registered. FIG. 4 shows an example of a hero registration screen image for registering basic information of the hero character. The upper region A210, lower region A220, and processing object P130 in the main character registration screen image G200 shown in FIG. 4 are the same as the upper region A110, lower region A120, and processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The explanation will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 4, the hero registration screen image G200 includes the hero registration area A240. The hero registration area A240 is an area for registering basic information of the hero character to be trained in the success part. For example, name, voice, defensive position, dominant arm, batting form (or throwing form) are included in the basic information. In addition, "voice" is a reading method (reading / furigana) of the name when the name of the main character is output by voice. Further, when the "defensive position" is other than the pitcher, the "batting form" is included in the basic information, and when the "defensive position" is the pitcher, the "throwing form" is included.

In the present embodiment, the basic information of the main character is automatically initialized and displayed in the main character registration area A240. In the main character registration area A240, the processing objects P241 to P245 are displayed in association with each item, and the user can change the content of the item by selecting the processing object associated with the item to be changed. can. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, since the processing object P241 is associated with the "name", the user can change the name of the main character to an arbitrary name by selecting the processing object P241.

Further, the main character registration screen image G200 includes processing objects P230 and P250. The processing object P230 is associated with a process for returning to the screen image previously displayed. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P230, the home screen image G100 is displayed on the display unit 15.

On the other hand, the processing object P250 is associated with a process for completing the setting of the basic information of the main character. As shown in FIG. 3, when the registration of the basic information of the main character is completed, the event deck is set. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P250, the event deck setting screen image for setting the event deck is displayed on the display unit 15. The details will be described later, but the event character set in the event deck affects the development of the main character.

FIG. 5 is an example of an event deck setting screen image. Since the upper area A310, the lower area A320, and the processing object P130 in the event deck setting screen image G300 shown in FIG. 5 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P330 in the event deck setting screen image G300 is for returning to the screen image (that is, the main character registration screen image G200) displayed immediately before, like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. Is.

As shown in FIG. 5, the event deck setting screen image G300 includes the event deck setting area A340. Note that, in FIG. 5, the content displayed in the event deck setting area A340 is omitted, and the content displayed in the event deck setting area A340 is shown in FIG.

Here, the "event deck" will be described. As will be described later, various events occur in the main part (scenario) of the success part. For example, an event occurs that is advantageous for improving the ability of the main character. In this regard, in the present embodiment, the events that occur in the main part of the success part are not fixed, and various events are generated depending on one or more game characters that the user has incorporated into the event deck. ing. Therefore, the user can select an event that can occur in the main part by selecting a game character to be incorporated in the event deck. In the following, a game character that can be incorporated into an event deck (in other words, a game character for generating an event) is referred to as an "event character".

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the event deck setting area A340 includes the area A341 and the processing object P342. Area A341 indicates the name of the event deck. Further, the processing object P342 is associated with a process for displaying a screen image for changing the name of the event deck. When the user selects the processing object P342, a screen image for changing the name of the event deck is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user can change the name of the event deck.

Further, in the event deck setting area A340, six setting frames A344-1, A344-2, A344-3, A344-4, A344-5, A345 for setting event characters to be members of the event deck are provided. Has been done.

In the present embodiment, a predetermined number of event characters are given to the user when the user plays the baseball game for the first time. 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. In this respect, in the present embodiment, the user can arbitrarily incorporate up to five event characters from the event characters owned by the user into the event deck. The setting frame A344-1, A344-2, A344-3, A344-4, A344-5 is a frame for setting an event character owned by the user as a member of the event deck. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, an image showing an event character set in the event deck by the user is displayed in the event deck setting area A340 together with the level and rarity of the event character.

Further, in the present embodiment, only one event character owned by another user can be incorporated into the event deck as a helper. The setting frame A345 is a frame for setting an event character owned by another user as a member of the event deck.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated into the event deck from the event characters owned by the user is set to "5", and is owned by another user. The upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated into the event deck is set to "1". For example, these upper limits may be changed by satisfying predetermined conditions. 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.

When the user presses and holds any of the setting frames (operations that keep touching for a predetermined time or longer), an event character screen image showing detailed information of the event character set in the setting frame is displayed on the display unit 15. Is displayed.

FIG. 7 shows an example of an event character screen image. As shown in FIG. 7, the event character screen image G400 includes a first region A410, a second region A420, and a third region A440.

In the first area 410, the name, image, rarity, level, experience value, event power, player ability, and good practice of the event character are displayed. Here, the event power, player ability, good practice, etc. differ depending on each event character. In particular, since the good practice is different for each event character, there are options and strategies for the user to incorporate the event character into the event deck.

“Rarity” 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 "rareity" indicates the usefulness of the event character.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the “R” displayed on the left side of the image of the event character indicates the rarity of the event character. In this embodiment, any one of a plurality of levels of rarity of PSR (powerful super rare), SR (super rare), PR (powerful rare), R (rare), PN (powerful normal), and N (normal) is assigned to each event character. Be associated. When these are arranged in descending order, they are PSR, SR, PR, R, PN, and N. That is, PSR indicates the highest rarity and N indicates the lowest rarity. Even with the same event character, there may be six types of rarities: PSR, SR, PR, R, PN, and N. The same event character here is an event character having the same name, and can be said to be an event character having the same appearance (image). For example, when the event character is a person, being the same person corresponds to being the same event character.

"Level" indicates the level of the event character. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the description "Lv.8 / 22 (+2)" indicates the level of the event character. This indicates that the current level of the event character is "8" and the maximum level (upper limit level) is "22".

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the gauge area A411 shows the current experience value of the event character. As will be described later, in the present embodiment, an experience value is given to the event character by synthesizing another event character with the event character (see FIGS. 23 to 27). Then, when the experience value of the event character reaches a predetermined value, the level of the event character is increased by one. The state in which the gauge in the gauge area A411 extends to the right end of the gauge area A411 corresponds to the state in which the experience value of the event character reaches a predetermined value.

The level of the event character is limited so that it does not exceed the maximum level. The maximum level depends on the rarity. The higher the rarity, the higher the maximum level. Further, when the same event character is combined with the event character, the maximum level of the event character may increase. The description "Lv.8 / 22 (+2)" indicates that the maximum level of the event character has been increased by 2. That is, the initial maximum level of the event character is "20", which indicates that the maximum level has risen to "22" due to the strengthening of the event character.

"Event power" indicates the potential of an event associated with an event character (ie, an event that can occur in the main part depending on the event character). It is shown that the higher the event power value, the easier it is to increase the ability of the main character. The higher the rarity, the higher the event power value.

"Athlete ability" indicates the ability of an event character as a player. In the main part, a match event occurs in the main part (scenario) of the success part, and a match is held between the high school to which the main character belongs and another high school. In this match, the event character incorporated in the event deck will participate as a teammate of the main character. The player ability indicates the high ability that the event character can exert in such a game.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, alphabets and numerical values indicating player abilities are displayed. The higher the number, the higher the ability of the event character to demonstrate as a player in the match. Further, any one of the alphabets S, A, B, C, D, E, and F is associated with the event character according to the above numerical value. "S" indicates that the player ability is very high, and "F" indicates that the player ability is very low.

The player ability remains in a predetermined state and does not change. That is, even if another event character is combined with the event character, the player ability of the event character does not change. The event character screen image G400 includes a processing object P430 associated with a process for displaying the details of the player ability of the event character. When the user selects the processing object P430, a screen image showing the details of the player ability of the event character is displayed on the display unit 15.

"Good practice" indicates the practice that the event character is good at. As will be described later, in the main part (scenario) of the success part, the ability of the main character can be increased by having the main character practice. In addition, when the main character is made to practice the event character's specialty together with the event character, the ability of the main character can be easily increased as compared with the normal case.

The second area A420 shows an event list, an event bonus, and a profile of the event character. As shown in FIG. 7, the second region A420 includes a first tab T421, a second tab T422, and a third tab T423.

The first tab T421 shows an event list of event characters. The "event list" shows a list of events that can occur in the main part of the success part when the event character is incorporated in the event deck. Further, the third tab T423 shows the profile of the event character. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the second tab T422 is mainly displayed, but the user selects the first tab T421 or the third tab T423 to replace the second tab T422 with the first tab. The T421 or the third tab T423 can be displayed.

The second tab T422 shows the event bonus of the event character. In the main part of the success part, the event character incorporated in the event deck produces an effect (bonus) that is advantageous for increasing the ability of the main character. The "event bonus" indicates the effect that occurs in the main part of the success part when the event character is incorporated in the event deck.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, "initial evaluation 15", "special tag bonus 20%", "knack event bonus 20%", and "good practice rate increase 10%" are set as event bonuses of the event character. Details of these event bonuses will be described later (see the explanations in FIGS. 13, 16 and 17).

The effect generated by the event character may differ depending on the combination of the event character and the scenario of the success part selected by the user. For example, the event or event bonus generated by the event character may change according to the scenario. In this case, the effect of each scenario may be identifiable in the event character screen image G400. In addition, in the success part, a match in which the main character participates is played, and an event character can also participate in this match. However, event characters cannot participate in stadium part games.

In this embodiment, as the level of the event character increases, the event bonus (the above effect) also becomes stronger. As shown in FIG. 7, the second tab T422 includes a processing object P424 associated with a process for displaying the correspondence between the level of the event character and the event bonus. When the user selects the processing object P424, a bonus detail screen image showing the correspondence between the level of the event character and the event bonus is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a bonus detailed screen image. As shown in FIG. 8, the bonus detail screen image G500 displays the correspondence between the level of the event character and the event bonus. That is, the bonus detail screen image G500 displays the bonus associated with the level of the event character. The event bonus associated with the event character's level "n" indicates the event bonus that occurs in the main part of the success part when the event character's level is level "n" or higher.

Further, in the bonus detail screen image G500, the event bonus associated with the level lower than the current level of the event character and the event bonus associated with the level higher than the current level of the event character are displayed.

Further, on the bonus detail screen image G500, the user can distinguish between the event bonus associated with the level below the current level of the event character and the event bonus associated with the level higher than the current level of the event character. Will be done. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the check object is displayed in association with the level equal to or lower than the current level of the event character. In the example shown in FIG. 8, since the current level of the event character is “8” (see FIG. 7), the check objects C510 and C520 are displayed in association with the levels “1” and “5”. Therefore, it is easy for the user to understand "what kind of event bonus is generated in the main part of the success part by incorporating the event character in the current state into the event deck". Instead of the above check objects C510 and C520, in the bonus detail screen image G500, the color of the area of the level lower than the current level of the event character (that is, the area showing the effect generated at the current level of the event character). May be changed or the brightness may be changed. On the contrary, in the bonus detail screen image G500, the color of the area showing the effect that does not occur at the current level of the event character may be changed, or the brightness may be changed.

The bonus detail screen image G500 also includes a processing object P530 associated with a process for closing the bonus detail screen image G500. When the user selects the processing object P530, the bonus detail screen image G500 disappears and the event character screen image G400 is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 7, the third region A440 of the event character screen image G400 includes the processing objects P441, P442, and P443.

The processing object P441 is a processing object associated with a process for closing the event character screen image G400. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P441, the event character screen image G400 disappears and the event deck setting screen image G300 is displayed.

The processing object P442 is a processing object associated with a process for locking the event character. "Locking an event character" means making it impossible to sell an event character or combine it with another event character. When the user selects the processing object P442, the event character displayed on the event character screen image G400 is locked. When the event character displayed on the event character screen image G400 is in the locked state, the processing object P442 becomes a processing object associated with the processing for unlocking the event character.

The processing object P443 is a processing object associated with a process for setting an event character as a reader. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P443, the event character displayed on the event character screen image G400 is set as the leader. The event character set by the user as the reader can be rented to other users as a helper. Conversely, the user can rent an event character set by another user as the leader and play the success part.

When the event character set by the user as the leader is rented as a helper, a reward is given to the user. For example, when an event character set by the user as a leader is rented as a helper, a notification indicating that fact and a reward will be given is displayed on the display unit 15 at the time of starting the game or the like. The reward may be given automatically, or may be given when the user performs an operation for receiving the reward. As rewards, for example, gacha points, coins, store medals, game items, etc. may be given, the experience value and level of the event character owned by the user may be improved, or the main character or the original character may be given. The ability parameters may be improved. In addition, the content of the reward may change depending on the result of the success part used as a helper.

In the event deck setting area A340 shown in FIG. 6, the user taps any of the setting frames A344-1, A344-2, A344-3, A344-4, and A344-5 (touching for a short time). Is performed, the event character set in the setting frame is selected as the change source, and the event character change screen image for changing the event character selected as the change source to another event character is displayed on the display unit 15. NS.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the event character change screen image. Since the upper region A610, the lower region A620, and the processing object P130 in the event character change screen image G600 shown in FIG. 9 are the same as the upper region A110, the lower region A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P630 in the event character change screen image G600 is for returning to the screen image (that is, the event deck setting screen image G300) displayed immediately before, like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. Is.

The event character change screen image G600 includes an event character list area A640. The event character list area A640 shows a list of event characters owned by the user. In the event character list area A640, the event character incorporated in the event deck and the event character not incorporated in the event deck are displayed so as to be distinguishable by the user. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the text (or image) of "in use" is displayed in association with the event character incorporated in the event deck so that the same event character cannot be incorporated in the event deck in duplicate. It is not selectable. The user selects one of the event characters that are not included in the event deck as the change destination. When the user selects any event character as the change destination, the event character selected as the change destination is incorporated into the event deck instead of the event character selected as the change source.

The event character list area A640 includes a processing object P641 associated with a process of removing the event character selected as the change source from the event deck. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P641, the event character selected as the change source is removed from the event deck.

The processing object P650 is associated with a process of sorting the display order of the event characters displayed in the event character list area A640. Here, multiple conditions can be specified, for example, "entry procedure", "rareity order", "level order", "special practice (details will be described later)", "event power order", "player ability order". , "Name order", "Lock order" can be sorted by event character.

Further, in the event deck setting area A340 shown in FIG. 6, when the user taps the setting frame A345 (touch for a short time), a helper is selected from the event characters owned by other users. A screen image for selection is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 10 shows an example of the event deck setting area A340 when the event character of the setting frame A344-5 is changed to another event character and a helper is selected from the event characters owned by other users. show.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the event deck setting area A340 includes a good practice area A346. The good practice area A346 shows the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, in the event deck setting area A340, the event characters shown in the setting frames A3441-1 to A344-5 and A345 and the good practice shown in the good practice area A346 are displayed. Will be there. That is, the event character and the good practice corresponding to the event character are displayed on the same screen. Therefore, the user can easily visually recognize the desired practice and the event character having the desired practice, and can intuitively grasp whether or not the event character incorporated in the event deck is ideal. ..

In this embodiment, there are 10 types of "batting", "muscle strength", "running base", "shoulder strength", "defense", "mental", "ball speed", "control", "stamina", and "changing ball". One of the exercises of is set as a good practice of the event character. Of these, "defense" and "mental" are practice items common to both fielders and pitchers. "Batting," "muscle strength," "base running," and "shoulder strength" are fielder practice items. "Ball speed," "control," "stamina," and "changing ball" are pitcher practice items. These exercises are performed by the main character in the success part described later.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the 10 types of exercises are displayed in the special practice area A346, and among the 10 types of exercises, the special exercises of the event character incorporated in the event deck are set. The practice that is being performed and the practice that is not set as a good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck are displayed in a distinguishable manner by the user.

In the good practice area A346, practice mainly for fielders (batting, muscle strength, base running, shoulder strength, defense) is displayed on one side (left side), and practice mainly for pitchers (ball speed, control). , Stamina, change ball) is displayed on the other side (right side). And practice for both fielders and pitchers (mental) is displayed between them. With the display position of each practice arranged in this way, as explained below, by making it possible to identify the favorite practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck, an event ideal for training fielders or pitchers. You can intuitively understand whether the character is incorporated in the event deck. For example, if the main character that the user wants to train is a pitcher, and if many good practices are placed on the left side, it is intuitive that the event character incorporated in the event deck is not ideal for pitcher training. Therefore, the user can easily make a judgment such as exchanging the event characters. In this example, the practice for the fielder and the practice for the pitcher are divided into left and right, but the practice may be divided into upper and lower parts. Further, for example, the display mode of the practice of the fielder and the pitcher may be different. For example, the fielder's practice and the pitcher's practice may be color-coded, such as displaying the fielder's practice in green and the pitcher's practice in red. In this way, for example, if the main character that the user wants to train is a fielder and there is a lot of red color as a good practice, the event character incorporated in the event deck is not ideal for fielder training. Since this can be intuitively grasped, the user can easily make a judgment such as exchanging event characters.

Further, in the good practice area A346, the practice set as the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck and the practice not set as the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck are displayed differently. Is displayed. In the examples shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the event character incorporated in the event deck is set as a good practice by displaying a cross mark associated with the practice that is not set as the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck. The practice that is done and the practice that is not set as the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck are displayed separately. The method of distinguishing and displaying is not limited to the cross mark. The display mode of the practice set as the good practice and the practice not set may be different. For example, the distinctive display may be performed by changing the color tone and the brightness of these. In this case, the display of the practice set as the good practice may be displayed brighter, and the practice set as the good practice may be displayed darker than that. In this way, the good practice can be grasped from the brightness of the image, so that the good practice can be grasped more intuitively.

In the good practice area A346 shown in FIG. 10, the numerical value (2) is displayed in association with each of "muscle strength" and "shoulder strength". This numerical value indicates the number of event characters incorporated in the event deck, for which the practice is set as a good practice. This number includes the event character of the helper. The good practice area A346 shown in FIG. 10 shows that, among the event characters incorporated in the event deck, two event characters whose "muscle strength" is set as good practice are included. Similarly, the good practice area A346 shown in FIG. 10 shows that among the event characters incorporated in the event deck, two event characters whose "shoulder strength" is set as good practice are included. .. Here, the number of event characters having the same good practice is displayed numerically on the screen. For example, images such as star marks and icons are made to correspond to the number of event characters, and the corresponding good practice is performed. It may be displayed at any position in the surroundings, or it may be displayed by superimposing it on the favorite practice. In addition, the image that directly shows the number of event characters having the same good practice is not displayed on the screen, and the larger the number of event characters having the same good practice, the higher the brightness of the good practice, the light, and the light. The effect such as blinking may be strengthened.

In the good practice area A346, only the practice set as the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck is displayed, and the practice not set as the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck is displayed. You may not do it. In addition, when the event characters incorporated in the event deck include a plurality of event characters for which the same practice is set as a good practice, the practice is displayed in the good practice area A346. May be good.

Further, in the present embodiment, not only the event character of the "player" but also the event character of the "manager" can be incorporated into the event deck. Since the event character of the "manager" is not set to practice well, the display of the practice area A346 does not change even if it is incorporated into the event deck. For example, in the special practice area A346 of the event deck in which the event character of the "player" is four and the event character of the "manager" is one, the good practice of only four people is displayed.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the event deck setting area A340 includes a processing object P343 associated with a process for automatically setting the event deck according to the user's request.

When the user selects the processing object P343, an automatic setting menu screen image for selecting the training policy of the main character is displayed. FIG. 11 shows an example of an automatic setting menu screen image. In the automatic setting menu screen image G700 shown in FIG. 11, 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 G700 includes the processing object P710. The processing object P710 is associated with a process for selecting the first training policy. In other words, the processing object P710 is associated with processing for automatically setting an event deck suitable for training the main character as a pitcher. That is, when the processing object P710 is selected, for example, an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the pitcher 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.

Further, the automatic setting menu screen image G700 also includes the processing object P720. The processing object P720 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 P720 is selected, for example, an event character to which an event advantageous for improving the fielder's ability is associated, or an event character to which an event character for a fielder is associated as a good practice item is generated. It is set as a member of the event deck with priority over other event characters.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the user selects a desired option from a plurality of options (that is, a plurality of options related to the training policy) displayed on the automatic setting menu screen image G700, 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.

If the training policy of "pitcher" is selected and there are few event characters whose "pitcher" practice is set as good practice, the event where "fielder" practice is set as good practice. The character may be set in the event deck. Conversely, if the "fielder" training policy is selected and there are few event characters for which the "fielder" practice is set as a good practice, the "pitcher" practice is set as a good practice. The event character may be set in the event deck. In this case, the event character with high rarity may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 11, one of the two training policies of "pitcher" and "fielder" can be selected, but one of the plurality of training policies related to "pitcher" is selected. Alternatively, it may be possible to select one of a plurality of training policies regarding "fielders". For example, the ability that the user emphasizes may be selected 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.

Further, in the automatic setting menu screen image G700, a plurality of questions may be presented 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.

The automatic setting menu screen image G700 also includes a processing object P730 associated with a process for closing the automatic setting menu screen image G700. When the user selects the processing object P730, the automatic setting menu screen image G700 disappears and the event deck setting screen image G300 is displayed.

Returning to FIG. 5, the event deck setting screen image G300 includes the processing object P350. The processing object P350 is associated with a process for completing the setting of the event deck. As shown in FIG. 3, when the setting of the event deck is completed, the game item is selected. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P350, a screen image for selecting a game item is displayed on the display unit 15.

In the present embodiment, the user can obtain a game item that is advantageous for increasing the ability of the main character in the success part as a reward, or can obtain it from another user. In this screen image, the user selects a game item to be used in this success part (main part) from the game items owned by the user. An upper limit (for example, two) is set for the number of game items that can be selected here. The user cannot select game items beyond this limit.

When the selection of game items is completed, the pre-part is completed and the main part is started. In the main part, the scenario selected by the user on the home screen image G100 is started. For example, there is a scenario in which the main character belongs to a high school baseball club, wins regulars while practicing with teammates, participates in games (local qualifying tournaments and national tournaments), and aims to become a professional baseball player. It will be started.

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

Further, in the scenario, predetermined game characters (for example, one manager, 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.

As shown in FIG. 3, the main part (scenario) includes a plurality of sections. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the main part (scenario) is divided into four sections in chronological order.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 3, the scenario is branched. Specifically, sections 3A and 3B are prepared as the third section. Therefore, after the section 2 is completed, the user can select any one of the sections 3A and 3B. If the user selects section 3A, section 3A is started, and section 4A is started after section 3A is completed. On the other hand, if the user selects section 3B, section 3B is started, and section 4B is started after section 3B is completed. That is, after the user selects section 3A, it is not possible to move to section 4B, and conversely, after the user has selected section 3B, it is not possible to move to section 4A.

The scenario may branch only within a specific period. That is, the user may be allowed to proceed to sections 3B and 4B only within a specific period, and the user may not be able to proceed to sections 3B and 4B outside the specific period. In such a case, in sections 3B and 4B, a special event that normally does not occur unless a special event character (for example, a highly rare event character) is incorporated in the event deck, causes a special event character to be an event. It may occur even if it is not built into the deck. By doing so, the special event may be generated by proceeding to sections 3B and 4B even for the user who does not own the special event character only within a specific period. Further, if a specific period ends while the user is advancing sections 3B and 4B, the section 3B and 4B can be advanced only for a predetermined period (for example, one day) thereafter. You may. Further, the sections after the sections 3A and 3B may be further branched into a plurality of sections. Furthermore, there may be a plurality of sections that can be advanced only within a specific period. Furthermore, when the scenario branches as described above, if the user selects a specific section, the main character can acquire the ability that the event character of the event deck set by the user does not have when an event occurs. You may do it. Further, when the user selects a specific section, the amount of increase in the ability parameter when an event occurs or the like may be larger than the amount of increase normally due to the event character incorporated in the event deck. In addition, for example, when the user selects a specific section, coins, gacha points, etc. may be earned more than usual. In the above aspect, the section 2 is branched into sections 3B and 4B, and a branch is generated in a part of the four sections. However, when one section is completed, the branch is always generated. It may be configured. That is, branching may occur in all sections.

Also, as shown in FIG. 3, each section contains a plurality of turns. In the example shown in FIG. 3, each section consists of 12 turns. The number of turns contained in a section may vary from section to section.

For example, one turn corresponds to a week in the game. The scenario progresses as the virtual time in the game progresses for a week at the end of each turn. It should be noted that one turn may correspond to one day or one month in the game.

When the scenario progresses to the end, the training of the main character is completed. The hero character whose training has been completed is registered as an original character and can be used in the stadium part. By starting the success part from the beginning again after the end of the main part, another main character can be trained (that is, another original character can be generated).

In each turn of the main part, the user selects one of the options related to the action of the main character as an action to be performed by the main character.

FIG. 12 shows an example of a main command screen image in the success part. The main command screen image G800 shown in FIG. 12 is a screen image for selecting an action to be performed by the main character.

As shown in FIG. 12, the progress of the scenario is displayed in the upper region A810 of the main command screen image G800. For example, the current section and the number of turns remaining until the end of the current section are displayed. It also shows when the point in the game is. In the example shown in FIG. 12, "August 2nd week of 2nd year" is displayed, which indicates that the main character is a 2nd year high school student and is currently in the 2nd week of August.

In addition, the motivation parameter of the main character is also displayed in the upper region A810. The motivation parameter is a parameter indicating the motivation (condition) of the main character. For example, the higher the value of the motivation parameter, the higher the motivation of the main character. As will be described later, in the present embodiment, the hero character is given experience points by practicing each turn (see FIG. 13). At this time, the higher the motivation of the main character, the more experience points are given to the main character.

The upper area A810 also displays the number of treasure chests found in the current section. As will be described later, in each turn, a treasure chest discovery event in which the dog finds and carries the treasure chest occurs based on predetermined probability information (see FIG. 14), and is discovered in this way. The number of treasure chests is displayed.

In addition, the upper region A810 includes a gauge region A811 indicating a physical strength parameter of the main character. For example, when the main character practices, the value of the physical strength parameter decreases, and when the main character takes a break from practice, the value of the physical strength parameter increases (recovers). The lower the value of the physical fitness parameter, the higher the probability that the main character will be injured during practice (see FIG. 13).

Further, the upper region A810 includes the processing object P812. The processing object P812 is associated with a process for displaying a menu screen image related to the success part, and when the user selects the processing object P812, the menu screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. In the menu screen image, for example, the success part can be interrupted.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, processing objects P821, P822, P823, and P824 are displayed in the lower region A820 of the main command screen image G800.

The processing object P821 is associated with a process for displaying the log of the success part (main part), and when the user selects the processing object P821, the log is displayed.

The processing object P822 is associated with a process for turning on / off the auto function. The auto function is a function for automatically sending the text displayed on the display unit 15. In the main part, a text indicating the content of the parameter change and a text indicating the conversation between the main character and another game character are displayed on the display unit 15 (see FIGS. 14 and 15). Normally, the user needs to tap the display 15 to send such text, but if the auto function is set to on, the text will be automatic even if the user does not tap the display 15. Will be sent to. The user can turn on / off the auto function by selecting the processing object P822.

The processing object P823 is associated with a process for turning on / off the skip function. The skip function is a function that automatically sends the text displayed on the display unit 15 at a speed faster than the auto function. When the skip function is set to on, the text is automatically sent at a speed faster than the auto function without the user having to tap the display unit 15. The user can turn on / off the skip function by selecting the processing object P823. However, both the auto function and the skip function cannot be turned on, and only one of them can be turned on.

The processing object P824 is associated with a process for turning on / off the shortcut function. The shortcut function is a function that omits a part of the text related to the event. For example, in the main part, an event may occur in which the main character and another game character have a conversation, and text indicating the conversation may be displayed, but if the shortcut function is turned on, part of the text Is omitted. The user can turn on / off the shortcut function by selecting the processing object P824.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the main command screen image G800 includes the main character ability area A830. In the main character ability area A830, the values of various basic ability parameters of the main character are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the values of the ballistic parameter, the meet parameter, the power parameter, the running force parameter, the shoulder force parameter, and the defensive force parameter of the main character are displayed.

The ballistic parameter indicates how high the hit ball of the main character is. The higher the value of the ballistic parameter, the higher the hit ball. The meat parameter indicates the meat power of the main character (the ability to hit the bat on the ball thrown by the pitcher). The higher the value of the meat parameter, the higher the meat force. The power parameter indicates the power of the main character (the ability to fly a ball thrown by a pitcher far away by hitting it with a bat). The higher the value of the power parameter, the easier it is for the ball hit by the bat to fly far.

The running force parameter indicates the speed of the foot of the main character. The higher the value of the running force parameter, the faster the foot. The shoulder strength parameter indicates the throwing speed of the main character. The higher the value of the shoulder strength parameter, the faster the ball is thrown. The defensive strength parameter indicates the defensive skill of the main character. The higher the value of the defensive strength parameter, the better the defensive.

Since the example shown in FIG. 12 shows the case where the main character is a fielder, the basic ability parameters related to the fielder ability are displayed in the main character ability area A830. When the main character is a pitcher, basic ability parameters related to the pitcher ability, such as a ball speed parameter, a control parameter, and a stamina parameter, are displayed in the main character ability area A830.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the main command screen image G800 includes a command area A840. The processing objects P841, P842, P843, P844, P845, and P846 are displayed in the command area A840.

The processing object P841 is associated with a process for causing the main character to practice, and the user can make the main character practice by selecting the processing object P841. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 13 and 14).

The processing object P842 is associated with a process for resting the main character, and the user can rest the main character by selecting the processing object P842. When the main character is rested, the physical strength parameter of the main character increases (recovers).

The processing object P843 is associated with a process for sending the main character to the hospital, and the user can send the main character to the hospital by selecting the processing object P843. For example, if the hero character becomes ill or has a breakdown, the illness or breakdown can be cured by sending the hero character to the hospital.

The processing object P844 is associated with a process for playing the main character, and the user can play the main character by selecting the processing object P844. Playing the hero character increases the motivation parameter of the hero character.

The processing object P845 is associated with a process for causing the main character to date, and the user can cause the main character to date by selecting the processing object P845.

The processing object P846 is associated with a process for improving the ability of the main character, and the user can improve the ability of the main character by selecting the processing object P846. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 16 and 17).

FIG. 13 shows an example of a practice screen image. The practice screen image G900 shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the display unit 15 when the processing object P841 of the main command screen image G800 is selected. Since the upper region A910 of the practice screen image G900 is the same as the upper region A810 of the main command screen image G800, the description thereof is omitted here.

As shown in FIG. 13, the practice screen image G900 includes a command area A920. In the command area A920, a plurality of processing objects P921, P922, P923, P924, P925, and P926 corresponding to the plurality of practice items are displayed. These processing objects P921 to P926 are associated with processing for causing the main character to perform various exercises.

The processing object P921 is associated with a process of causing the main character to practice striking. The processing object P922 is associated with a process for causing the main character to practice strength. The processing object P923 is associated with a process for causing the main character to practice running. The processing object P924 is associated with a process for causing the main character to practice shoulder strength. The processing object P925 is associated with a process for causing the main character to perform defensive practice. The processing object P926 is associated with a process for causing the main character to perform mental practice.

For example, when the main character wants to practice running base, the user first selects the processing object P923. In this case, the processing object P923 is temporarily selected. In this state, the processing object P923 is displayed separately from the other processing objects P921, P922, P924 to P926, indicating that the processing object P923 is tentatively selected. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the vertical position of the processing object P923 in the screen is different from that of the other processing objects P921, P922, P924 to P926, and the cursor object C927 is associated with the processing object P923. In this state, the probability of injury during base running practice is displayed in association with the processing object P923. This probability is determined based on the value of the physical strength parameter of the main character. The smaller the value of the physical strength parameter of the main character, the higher the probability of injury during practice.

The practice screen image G900 also includes the experience point area A930. In the experience point area A930, the experience points of the main character (that is, the experience points currently possessed by the main character) are displayed.

In this embodiment, five types of experience points are set: muscle strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, and mental points. FIG. 13 shows a case where the hero character's strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, and mental points are 3 points, 5 points, 4 points, 0 points, and 0 points, respectively.

In the example shown in FIG. 13, "+4" and "+15" are displayed in association with the strength point and the agility point, respectively. This indicates that when the tentatively selected practice item (running base practice) is executed, the hero character's strength points increase by 4 points and the agility points increase by 15 points.

In the present embodiment, the types of experience points that increase as a result of the exercise and the amount of the increase are defined for each exercise item. As mentioned above, strength points and agility points increase when running base practice is performed. Also, for example, when batting practice is performed, strength points, technical points, and mental points are increased.

A level is set for each practice item. The level of practice items increases when the number of times the practice has been performed reaches a predetermined number of times. The higher the level of the practice item, the greater the amount of increase in experience points when the practice is performed.

The practice screen image G900 also includes the game character area A940. In the present embodiment, game characters (teammates, managers, coaches, managers) other than the main character are assigned to each practice item, and game characters other than the main character are also practicing or watching over any of them. Is directed to. In this regard, the game character assigned to the tentatively selected practice item is displayed in the game character area A940. The game character assigned to each practice item changes from turn to turn.

In the example shown in FIG. 13, since the running base practice is tentatively selected, the game character assigned to the running base practice is displayed in the game character area A940.

In the game character area A940, a gauge area A941 is displayed in association with the game character. This gauge area A941 shows the evaluation of the main character of the game character. The longer the gauge in the gauge area A941, the higher the evaluation of the main character of the game character. As will be described later, when the main character performs the good practice assigned to the game character (that is, when the main character performs the same practice as the game character), the evaluation of the main character of the game character increases (Fig.). 14).

In the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, "initial evaluation 15" was set as an event bonus of the event character. This event bonus "initial evaluation 15" indicates that at the start of the main part, the evaluation of the main character of the event character is initially set to a value (15) higher than the normal value (0).

The example shown in FIG. 13 shows a case where the event character (Yabe) incorporated in the event deck is assigned to the base running practice. In other words, it shows the case where the event character (Yabe) incorporated in the event deck is practicing running base with the main character as a teammate.

The practice item (running base) displayed in association with the event character indicates the good practice of this event character. Therefore, the example shown in FIG. 13 shows a case where the event character is assigned to his / her favorite practice (running base practice). In other words, it shows the case where the event character is practicing his / her specialty (running base practice).

In such a case, if the main character practices running base, the amount of increase in experience points will be larger than in the normal case. In short, when the main character performs the special practice of the event character together with the event character, the amount of increase in the experience points becomes larger than in the normal case. That is, in the turn in which the event character for which the running base practice is set as the good practice is assigned to the running base practice, the amount of increase in the experience points due to the main character performing the running base practice is used as the good running practice. The number of set event characters is larger than that of turns that are not assigned to base running practice.

Further, in the above case, when the hero character practices running base, a special tag bonus event may occur if the evaluation of the hero character of the event character is higher than a predetermined standard. When the special tag bonus event occurs, the amount of increase in experience points will be larger than when the special tag bonus event does not occur. In this way, when the main character performs the special practice of the event character together with the event character who highly evaluates the main character, the amount of increase in the experience points is further increased.

In the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, "special tag bonus 20%" was set as the event bonus of the event character. This event bonus "Special Tag Bonus 20%" indicates that the amount of increase in experience points will increase by 20% when a Special Tag Bonus event occurs.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 13, the event character is assigned to the same practice item as his / her favorite practice, but the event character is not always assigned to the same practice item as his / her favorite practice, and his / her favorite practice is not always assigned. It may be assigned to a different practice item. Which practice item the event character is assigned to is determined for each turn based on predetermined probability information.

In this regard, in the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, "a good practice rate increase of 10%" was set as an event bonus of the event character. This event bonus "10% increase in the good practice rate" indicates that the probability that the event character will be assigned to his / her good practice increases by 10%, and the event character will be more likely to be assigned to his / her good practice.

When the user further selects the processing object P923 while the running base practice is temporarily selected (that is, the cursor object C927 points to the processing object P923), the running base practice is confirmed as a practice item to be performed by the main character. , The main character practices running base.

The practice screen image G900 also includes the processing object P950. The processing object P950 is associated with a process for returning to the screen image previously displayed. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P950, the main command screen image G800 is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 14 shows an example of a practice result screen image. When any of the practice items is determined as the practice item to be performed by the main character, the practice result screen image G1000 shown in FIG. 14 is displayed on the display unit 15. Since the upper region A1010 and the lower region A1020 of the practice result screen image G1000 are the same as the upper region A810 and the lower region A820 of the main command screen image G800, the description thereof will be omitted here.

As shown in FIG. 14, the practice result screen image G1000 includes a text area A1030. A text indicating the practice result of the main character is displayed in the text area A1030. That is, a text indicating the change contents of various parameters due to the practice of the main character is displayed in the text area A1030.

FIG. 14 shows a practice result screen image G1000 displayed when the running base practice is selected (that is, the processing object P923 is selected) in the state shown in FIG. In the text area A1030 shown in FIG. 14, the main character practiced running base, so that the muscle strength point increased by 4 points, the agility point increased by 15 points, the physical strength parameter decreased by 25 points, and the running base practice was performed. It is shown that the evaluation of the assigned event character (Yabe) for the main character has increased by 7 points.

In this embodiment, when the main character practices, a treasure chest discovery event occurs based on predetermined probability information. As mentioned earlier, the treasure chest discovery event is an event in which a dog finds and carries a treasure chest. When the treasure chest discovery event occurs, as shown in FIG. 14, the dog character C1040 that has found the treasure chest is displayed on the practice result screen image G1000.

In addition, in each turn of the main part, an event related to the event character also occurs based on a predetermined probability information. For example, an event occurs in which the main character talks with the event character or performs special practice together with the event character.

FIG. 15 shows an example of an event screen image. The event screen image G1100 shown in FIG. 15 is displayed on the display unit 15 when an event related to the event character occurs. Since the upper region A1110 and the lower region A1120 of the event screen image G1100 are the same as the upper region A810 and the lower region A820 of the main command screen image G800, the description thereof will be omitted here.

The event screen image G1100 indicates that an event related to the event character has occurred. The event screen image G1100 includes an event information area A1130, and information (event name, etc.) regarding the event that has occurred is displayed in the event information area A1130. The event character C1140, which is the basis of the occurrence of the event, is also displayed on the event screen image G1100.

The event screen image G1100 also includes a text area A1150. For example, text indicating a conversation between the main character and the event character is displayed in the text area A1150. After that, as shown in FIG. 15, text indicating the change contents of various parameters due to the occurrence of the event is displayed in the text area A1150. Specifically, in the text area A1150, for example, when an event occurs, the experience point points for improving the ability parameters of the main character are improved, and the tips for the main character to acquire special abilities are provided. It is shown that you have grabbed it. The number of experience points and the special ability to grasp the knack are affected by the ability and level of the event character. For example, the larger the value of the event bonus shown in the second tab T422 of the event character screen image G400 of FIG. 7, the larger the value shown in the text area A1150. Alternatively, the higher the rarity of each event character, the larger the numerical value or the like shown in the text area A1150 may be. Further, when the practice selected by the user and the good practice of the event character appearing in the event are the same, the numerical value or the like shown in the text area A1150 may be increased.

In the main part, not only the event that occurs based on the probability information but also the 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.

16 and 17 show an example of the capacity change screen image. The ability change screen image G1200 shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 is a screen image for improving the ability of the main character, and is displayed on the display unit 15 when the processing object P846 of the main command screen image G800 is selected.

The capacity change screen image G1200 includes a first region A1210 and a second region A1220. The first region A1210 includes a pitcher ability tab T1211 and a fielder ability tab T1212. The pitcher ability tab T1211 displays the changes in the basic ability parameters related to the pitcher ability, and the fielder ability tab T1212 displays the changes in the basic ability parameters related to the fielder ability.

As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the fielder ability tab T1212 has ballistic parameters, meet parameters, power parameters, running force parameters, shoulder force parameters, defensive force parameters, and catching parameters, which are basic ability parameters related to the fielder ability. For each of, the value before the change and the value after the change are displayed. The ballistic parameters, meet parameters, power parameters, running force parameters, shoulder force parameters, and defensive force parameters are as described above (see FIG. 12). The catching parameter indicates the skill of catching the main character. The higher the value of the catching parameter, the better the catching (less likely to make an error).

The second region A1220 includes a basic ability tab T1221 and a special ability tab T1222. As shown in FIG. 16, the basic ability tab T1221 displays the experience points (muscle strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, mental points) currently possessed by the main character. FIG. 16 shows a state in which the main character currently possesses strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, and mental points of 27 points, 20 points, 24 points, 0 points, and 0 points, respectively. ..

In the basic ability tab T1221, in exchange for some or all of the experience points currently possessed by the main character, the main character's basic ability parameters (ballistic parameters, meet parameters, power parameters, running power parameters, shoulder strength parameters, etc. The value of defensive power parameter, catching parameter) can be increased.

Further, in the basic ability tab T1221, the ability value required to increase the value of the basic ability parameter by 1 point from the current value is displayed in association with each basic ability parameter. The basic ability tab T1221 shown in FIG. 16 shows that, for example, 30 points of strength points, technical points, and mental points are required to increase the value of the ballistic parameter by 1 point from the current value. Also, for example, it has been shown that two strength points, two agility points, and two technical points are required to increase the value of the shoulder strength parameter by one point from the current value.

Further, in the basic ability tab T1221, the processing objects P1223-1, P1223-2, P1223, P1223, P1223-5, P1223, P1223-7 are displayed in association with each basic ability parameter. ..

For example, the processing object P1223-1 is associated with a ballistic parameter, and the processing object P1223-1 is associated with a process for increasing the ballistic parameter by 1 point in exchange for a predetermined experience point. By selecting the processing object P1223-1, the user can increase the ballistic parameter by 1 point from the current value in exchange for the strength point: 30 points, the technical point: 30 points, and the mental point: 30 points. .. For example, if the main character possesses all of these experience points, when the user selects the processing object P1223-1, the ballistic parameter increases by 1 point and the required experience points are the first. It is subtracted from the "current experience points" of the two regions A1220. That is, if the main character has sufficient experience points, the ballistic parameter gradually increases by 1 point each time the user selects the processing object P1223-1, and the required experience points are the second. It will be gradually subtracted from the "current experience points" of area A1220. However, as a matter of course, if the main character does not have all of these experience points, the ballistic parameter cannot be increased. For example, even if you have 40 muscle strength points and 70 technical point points, if you have 10 mental points, you cannot increase the ballistic parameter. In this way, for parameters that cannot be increased due to insufficient experience point points, the user may be notified to that effect. For example, in the first region A1210 and the second region A1220, the name of the corresponding parameter or the brightness of the entire line may be lowered.

When the value of the ballistic parameter is increased by 1 point due to the user selecting the processing object P1223-1, that fact is displayed in the first area A1210.

Further, like the processing object P1223-1, the other processing objects P1223-2 to P1223-7 are associated with the meet parameter, the power parameter, the running force parameter, the shoulder force parameter, the defensive force parameter, and the catching parameter, respectively. Therefore, a process for increasing these parameters by 1 point in exchange for a predetermined experience point is associated.

When the user selects the special ability tab T1222 from the state shown in FIG. 16, the state is switched to the state shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, the experience points (muscle strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, mental points) currently possessed by the main character are also displayed on the special ability tab T1222. Similar to FIG. 16, FIG. 17 shows the strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, and mental points currently possessed by the main character, which are 27 points, 20 points, 24 points, 0 points, and 0 points, respectively. Indicates the state.

In the special ability tab T1222, the hero character can acquire a special ability in exchange for a part or all of the experience points currently possessed by the hero character. That is, in the special ability tab T1222, the special ability parameter of the main character can be changed in exchange for a part or all of the experience points currently possessed by the main character. Here, the special ability parameter is a parameter indicating whether or not the main character has acquired various special abilities.

In the example shown in FIG. 16, the special abilities that the main character can acquire are "chance ○", "left-handed pitcher ○", "stolen base ○", "running base ○", "throwing ○", and "difficulty in injury". ◎ ”and“ Average hitter ”are displayed.

"Chance ○" is a special ability that is strong against chances. If the main character has acquired "Chance ○", the basic ability of the main character will increase at the time of the chance. "Counter-left pitcher ○" is a special ability that is strong against left-handed pitchers. If the main character has acquired "against left pitcher ○", the basic ability of the main character becomes high when the opponent pitcher is a left pitcher. "Stolen base ○" is a special ability to improve stolen base. If the main character has acquired "Stolen base ○", the main character can easily succeed in stealing.

"Throwing ball ○" is a special ability that makes it difficult to throw a ball. If the main character has mastered "Throwing ○", it will be difficult for the main character to throw. "Difficult to get injured ◎" is a special ability that rarely causes injury. If the main character has acquired "Difficulty injuring ◎", the main character will rarely get injured. "Average hitter" is a special ability that makes it easier to hit a hit ball. If the main character has acquired "Average Hitter", it will be easier for the main character to hit.

Further, on the special ability tab T1222, the ability value required for the main character to acquire the special ability is displayed in association with each special ability. The special ability tab T1222 shown in FIG. 17 shows that, for example, agility points, technical points, and mental points are required to be 15 points, 30 points, and 105 points, respectively, in order for the main character to acquire "chance ○". Has been done. Further, for example, it is shown that 48 points each of strength points, agility points, and technical points are required to make the main character acquire "throwing ○".

For special abilities that the main character has already acquired, it is displayed that they have already acquired them. In the special ability tab T1222 shown in FIG. 17, it is displayed that "Injury resistance ⊚" has been acquired.

Further, on the special ability tab T1222, processing objects P1224-1, P1224-2, P1224-3, P1224.4, P1224,5, P1224-6 are displayed in association with each special ability.

For example, the processing object P1224-1 is associated with "chance ○", and the processing object P1224-1 is associated with a process for making the main character acquire "chance ○" in exchange for a predetermined experience point. ing. By selecting the processing object P1224-1, the user can have the main character acquire "chance ○" in exchange for agility points: 15 points, technical points: 30 points, and mental points: 105 points. However, as a matter of course, if the hero character does not have these experience points, the hero character cannot acquire "chance ○".

Similar to the processing object P1224-1, the other processing objects P1224-2 to P1224-6 are "anti-left pitcher ○", "stolen base ○", "running base ○", "throwing ○", and "average", respectively. It is associated with a "hitter" and is associated with a process for the main character to acquire these special abilities in exchange for a given experience point. In addition, since the main character has already acquired the special ability of "difficulty injuring ◎", the processing object is not associated with "difficulty injuring ◎".

In the example shown in FIG. 17, "Lv.1" is displayed in association with "running base ○". Here, "Lv.1" indicates the knack level of "running base ○".

The knack level indicates whether or not the hero character has the knack for acquiring special abilities, and the degree of the knack that the hero character has grasped. The case where the knack level is 1 or more means that the hero character has grasped the knack for acquiring a special ability, and the higher the knack level, the greater the degree of the knack that the hero character has grasped.

The higher the knack level, the less experience points required to acquire special abilities for the main character. In the state shown in FIG. 17, the experience points required for the main character to acquire "running base ○" are less than usual.

At the beginning of the main part, the knack level of each special ability is set to zero. For example, in the main part, an event (knack event) in which the event character teaches the knack of the special ability to the main character may occur, and when such a knack event occurs, the knack level of the special ability rises ( (See FIG. 15).

In the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, "knack event bonus 20%" was set as the event bonus of the event character. When the above-mentioned knack event occurs, the knack level of the special ability increases, and the experience points of the main character related to the special ability increase. The above-mentioned event bonus "Tips Event Bonus 20%" indicates that the amount of increase in experience points is 20% more than usual in such a case.

As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the capacity change screen image G1200 includes the processing object P1230. The processing object P1230 is associated with a process for returning to the screen image previously displayed. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P1230, the main command screen image G800 is displayed on the display unit 15.

Further, the capacity change screen image G1200 also includes the processing object P1240. The processing object P1240 is associated with a process for canceling a change in the ability of the main character and returning it to the state before the change. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P1240, the ability of the main character returns to the state before the change.

Further, the capacity change screen image G1200 also includes the processing object P1250. The processing object P1250 is associated with a process for determining a change in the ability of the main character. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P1250, the ability of the main character is determined to be in the changed state.

When each section is completed, the section completion screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. FIG. 18 shows an example of the section completion screen.

As shown in FIG. 18, the section completion screen image G1300 displays an ongoing scenario (for example, A high school) and a completed section (for example, section 2). In addition, the section completion screen image G1300 also displays the experience points (total experience points) obtained so far and the experience points (section experience points) obtained in the completed section. Further, the section completion screen image G1300 also displays rewards (for example, coins and game items) obtained in the section.

Further, after the section completion screen image G1300 is displayed and before the next section is started, the next notice screen image may be displayed. FIG. 19 shows an example of the next notice screen image.

In the present embodiment, after the section completion screen image G1300 is displayed and before the next section is started, an event in which the treasure chest discovery probability in the next section becomes higher than usual occurs based on the predetermined probability information. do. When the event occurs, the notice screen image G1400 as shown in FIG. 19 is displayed, and the user is notified that the event has occurred.

When the four sections of the success part are completed as described above, the training of the main character is completed and the character can be used as an original character in the game in the stadium part. For example, when the fourth section is completed, a screen image for determining the ability parameter of the main character is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user uses the remaining experience value points to set the ability parameter of the main character. Increase or acquire special abilities. Further, in this screen image, the appearance of the main character may be changed. Then, when the user performs a predetermined confirmation operation, the ability parameter of the main character is determined and registered as the original character owned by the user. Once registered as the original character, the user cannot change the ability parameters. After that, the user will be able to confirm the ability parameters and the like of the newly registered original character, and add them to the order described later to participate in the game.

Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the main part is composed of 4 sections, each section is composed of 12 turns, and when the user tries to continuously execute all the turns, the corresponding time It will take time and effort. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by dividing the main part into four sections, it is possible to give motivation to end the game or take a break at the end of the section, and the user plays the success part. It is possible to reduce the difficulty of the situation. Furthermore, by dividing the main part into a plurality of sections, the next section can be branched at the end of the section, which makes it possible to bring about diversification of gameplay.

The user will play four sections when training the main character, and as shown in FIG. 18, when the section is cleared, information such as experience points is notified to the user on the section completion screen image G1300. Therefore, even in a game that includes a relatively large number of turns, such as a success part, the user can play the game without getting bored or feeling a delay in the middle. That is, when the user is notified of information such as experience points for the first time when the success part is completed, the user cannot fully grasp the training status of the main character in the middle of the success part and gets bored in the middle. You may feel a delay, but if you notify the experience points at the end of the section, you can frequently notify the user of the training status, so you can prevent getting bored or feeling a delay on the way. ..

Further, as shown in FIG. 19, in the notice screen image G1400, since the announcement regarding the next section can be made, the user can be motivated to try the next section, and the user can succeed on the way. It is possible to avoid a situation where the part is interrupted.

Next, before explaining the stadium part, the process for confirming the event character owned by the user, the organization of the event deck, and the like will be described.

In the home screen image G100 or the like shown in FIG. 2, when the user selects the processing object P123, the event character menu screen image for performing various operations related to the event character is displayed on the display unit 15. FIG. 20 shows an example of the event character menu screen image. Since the upper region A1510, the lower region A1520, and the processing object P130 in the event character menu screen image G1500 shown in FIG. 20 are the same as the upper region A110, the lower region A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P1530 in the event character menu screen image G1500 is for returning to the screen image (that is, the home screen image G100) displayed immediately before, like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. be.

The event character menu screen image G1500 shown in FIG. 20 includes processing objects P1540 to P1590. The processing object P1540 is associated with processing for organizing an event deck. When the user selects the processing object P1540, the event deck edit screen image for editing the event deck is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 21 is an example of an event deck editing screen image. Since the upper region A1610, the lower region A1620, and the processing object P130 in the event deck editing screen image G1600 shown in FIG. 21 are the same as the upper region A110, the lower region A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P1630 in the event deck edit screen image G1600 is for returning to the screen image (that is, the event character menu screen image G1500) displayed immediately before, like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. It is a thing.

As shown in FIG. 21, the event deck editing screen image G1600 includes the event deck editing area A1640. In FIG. 21, the content displayed in the event deck editing area A1640 is omitted, and the content displayed in the event deck editing area A1640 is shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 22, the areas A1641, A1642 processing objects P1642, P1643, the setting frames A1644-1 to A1644-5, and the good practice area A1646 of the event deck editing screen image G1600 are the event deck setting screen image G300, respectively. Since it is the same as the areas A341 and A342, the processing objects P342 and P343, the setting frames A344-1 to A344-5, and the good practice area A346, the description thereof will be omitted here. However, since the event deck edit screen image G1600 is not before the start of the success part, there is no one corresponding to the setting frame A345 for incorporating the helper into the event deck.

In this embodiment, the user can own a plurality of (for example, five) event decks. The number of event decks owned by the user may be fixed or may be increased by consuming power stones. In addition, the number of event decks may be increased by completing the training of the main character in the success part. For example, the event deck may be increased by one when the user completes the training of a predetermined number (for example, three) of the main character, or the event deck may be increased by one when the user completes the training of one main character. It may be increased by one. At that time, an upper limit (for example, up to 7) may be set for the number of event decks. Further, the number of event decks given to the user at the start of the game may be set to 1, for example, and may be gradually increased by the above processing. In the event deck editing screen image G1600, each of these plurality of event decks can be edited. For example, the user sets an event character that is good at practicing fielders in the event deck for training fielders, and is good at practicing pitchers in the event deck for training pitchers. Set a certain event character. Furthermore, it is possible to set only the female event character in the event deck, or set only the male event character in the event deck, depending on the training policy of the main character and the type of scenario in the success part. It is possible to use them properly. Further, for example, the user sets a special effect character described in detail later in the event deck used in the limited-time event.

Returning to FIG. 20, the processing object P1560 is associated with a process for selling the event character. When the user selects the processing object P1560, an unnecessary event character can be sold and coins can be obtained. The sold event character is not sold to other users, but the event character is simply deleted from the list owned by the user. That is, "sale" here means letting go of the event character in exchange for coins.

The processing object P1570 is associated with a process for confirming a list of event characters owned by the user. When the user selects the processing object P1570, a list of event characters owned by the user is displayed on the display unit 15. For example, when the user selects the processing object of the event character displayed in the list of event characters, the event character screen image G400 can be displayed.

The processing object P1580 is associated with a process for confirming the pictorial book of the event character. A pictorial book is a list of event characters that exist in the game. When the user selects the processing object P1580, the pictorial book is displayed on the display unit 15. In the pictorial book, it is possible to distinguish between an event character that the user has owned and an event character that the user has not yet owned. In the pictorial book, information (for example, an image or a name) of an event character that has not been owned yet may be hidden.

The processing object P1590 is associated with processing for expanding the list of event characters. In this embodiment, an upper limit is set on the number of event characters that can be owned by the user. For example, a user can increase the maximum number of event characters that a user can own by consuming power stones.

The processing object P1550 is associated with processing for enhancing the event character. The enhancement here is to increase the level of the event character, which is different from the training of the main character in the success part. The enhancement of the event character is performed in order to improve the effect generated in the success part when the event character is set in the event deck (that is, to make the training of the main character efficient). In this embodiment, so-called game character synthesis is performed. That is, the event character to be strengthened (hereinafter referred to as a base character) can be strengthened by consuming another event character (hereinafter referred to as a material character). When the user selects the processing object P1540, the base character selection screen image for selecting the base character is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 23 shows an example of the base character selection screen image. The upper region A1710, the lower region A1720, and the processing object P130 in the base character selection screen image G1700 shown in FIG. 23 are the same as the upper region A110, the lower region A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P1730 in the base character selection screen image G1700 is for returning to the screen image (that is, the event character menu screen image G1500) displayed immediately before, like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. It is a thing.

The base character selection screen image G1700 includes an event character list area A1740. The event character list area A1740 is the same as the event character list area A640 of the event character change screen image G600. When the user selects any of the event characters displayed in the event character list area A1740 as the base character, an enhanced screen image for enhancing the base character is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 24 shows an example of an enhanced screen image. Here, the enhanced screen image G1800 displayed when "Hayakawa" whose rarity is "R" is selected as the base character is shown. The upper region A1810, the lower region A1820, and the processing object P130 in the enhanced screen image G1800 shown in FIG. 24 are the same as the upper region A110, the lower region A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The explanation is omitted. Further, the processing object P1830 in the enhanced screen image G1800 is for returning to the screen image (that is, the base character selection screen image G1700) displayed immediately before, like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. be.

In the example shown in FIG. 24, the base character region A1840 includes a gauge region A1841. In the gauge area A1841, the current experience value of the base character and the acquired experience value required for the next level can be identified.

The material character area A1850 is provided with ten setting frames for setting the material character. When the user selects any of the setting frames of the material character area A1850, the material character selection screen image for selecting the material character is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 25 shows an example of a material character selection screen image. Since the upper region A1910, the lower region A1920, and the processing object P130 in the material character selection screen image G1900 shown in FIG. 25 are the same as the upper region A110, the lower region A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P1930 in the material character selection screen image G1900 is for returning to the screen image (that is, the enhanced screen image G1800) displayed immediately before, like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. be.

In the example shown in FIG. 25, the material character selection screen image G1900 includes the event character list area A1940. The event character list area A1940 is the same as the event character list area A640 of the event character change screen image G600. However, as shown in FIG. 25, among the event characters owned by the user, those other than the base character are displayed in the event character list area A1940. Further, the event character set in the event deck (the event character displayed as "in use" in FIG. 25) and the locked event character may not be selected as the material character.

Further, in the present embodiment, if the same event character as the base character is set as the material character, the maximum level of the base character can be increased under a given probability. In the event character list area A1940, this probability is superimposed on the event character. For example, if "Hayakawa" with a rarity of "R" is selected as the material character, there is a 100% chance that the highest level of the base character "Hayakawa" will increase, and "Hayakawa" with a rarity of "PN" will be selected as the material character. Then, there is a 30% chance that the maximum level of the base character "Hayakawa" will increase. In the present embodiment, the probability that the maximum level increases is determined based on the rarity of the base character and the rarity of the material character. In other words, the probability of increasing the highest level is based on the relative rarity difference between the base character and the material character. For example, if a material character with a rarity equal to or higher than the rarity of the base character is selected, the probability is 100%, and if a material character with a rarity lower than the rarity of the base character is selected, the probability is less than 100%. For example, for a material character whose rarity is two or more levels lower than that of the base character, the probability that the maximum level increases may be 0% even if the name is the same as that of the base character. Further, for example, the higher the rarity of the base character, the lower the probability. In this way, the probability that the maximum level will increase for heavy users who own a highly rare base character can be kept low. The higher the rarity of the material character, the higher the probability. Further, the maximum level is increased by one, but the probability may be increased as the current maximum level is increased from the initial value. That is, the higher the number of times the maximum level of the base character is increased, the higher the probability that the maximum level will increase in the future.

The user selects 10 or less of the event characters displayed in the event character list area A1940 as the material characters. Here, a case where a plurality of material characters can be selected at once in the event character list area A1940 will be described, but the material characters may be selected one by one. Further, when the event character already selected as the material character by the user is selected again, the selection as the material character can be canceled.

The material character selection screen image G1900 includes an area A1950 for displaying a level that increases when the base character is strengthened with the currently selected material character and coins required for the strengthening. The experience points that can be obtained by the base character differ depending on the material character. For example, the higher the rarity of the material character, the more experience points and coins required. By calculating the experience value and the required coins that can be obtained with the currently selected material character, the level and coins shown in the area A1950 will be calculated. When the user selects or removes the material character from the event character list area A1940, the display of the area A1950 is updated.

Further, the material character selection screen image G1900 includes processing objects P1960 and P1970. The processing object P1970 is associated with a process for deselecting the material character. When the user selects the processing object P1970, all the material characters are deselected and the material characters can be selected again. On the other hand, the processing object P1960 is associated with a process for completing the selection of the material character. When the user selects the processing object P1960, the screen returns to the enhanced screen image G1800.

FIG. 26 shows the enhanced screen image G1800 when the material character is selected. As shown in FIG. 26, the material character selected in the event character list area A1940 of the material character selection screen image G1900 is displayed in the material character area 1850. In the example of FIG. 26, the same two "Hayakawa" and "Tsuruya" as the base character are selected as the material characters. As shown in FIG. 26, since it is possible to increase the maximum level of the base character "Hayakawa" by using the two "Hayakawa" of the material character, the probability is superimposed on the material character "Hayakawa" and displayed. ing. On the other hand, "Tsuruya" is not the base character "Hayakawa", and even if it is used as a material character, the maximum level of "Hayakawa" cannot be increased, so the probability is not displayed. In this way, in the material character area 1850, it is possible to distinguish between a material character whose maximum level can be increased and a material character whose maximum level cannot be increased before strengthening the base character. Furthermore, the probability can be identified. When the user selects a material character, the level that increases when the base character is strengthened with the current material character and the coins required for strengthening are displayed in the base character area A1840 as in the area A1950. ing.

Further, the enhanced screen image G1800 includes processing objects P1860 and P1870. The processing object P1870 is associated with a process for deselecting the material character. When the user selects the processing object P1870, the material character is deselected and the material character can be selected again. On the other hand, the processing object P1860 is associated with a process for executing the enhancement of the base character. When the user selects the processing object P1860, the enhancement result window for displaying the enhancement result of the base character is displayed on the display unit 15 after the predetermined screen effect is executed. If the number of coins held by the user is less than the coins required for strengthening the base character, the strengthening is not executed even if the user selects the processing object P1860. In this case, the processing object P1860 may be grayed out so that it cannot be selected.

FIG. 27 shows the enhancement result window. As shown in FIG. 27, the enhancement result window G2000 displays the experience value acquired by the base character, the change in the level of the base character, the change in the highest level of the base character, and the like. In the example shown in FIG. 27, the base character is at the level indicated by the base character area A1840. Further, when there are a plurality of material characters capable of increasing the maximum level of the base character, it is determined whether or not it is possible to increase the maximum level for each of the plurality of material characters based on a predetermined probability. Will be done. Here, "Hayakawa" with a probability of increasing the maximum level of the base character is 100% and Hayakawa with a probability of 30% are selected as the material characters, so the maximum level of the base character is surely increased by 1 and the probability is 30%. Will increase by 1 further. In the example shown in FIG. 27, 30% of "Hayakawa" was also successful, and the highest level of the base character was increased by two.

The processing object P2010 is associated with a process for returning to the enhanced screen image G1800. When the user selects the processing object P2010, the user may directly return to the enhanced screen image G1800, or when the processing object P441 is selected after the event character screen image G400 of the base character is displayed, the enhanced screen is displayed. You may return to the image G1800.

Next, the stadium part will be described. In the stadium part, the user can play a match using the original characters cultivated in the success part. In the stadium part, there are games that can be played for any period (hereinafter referred to as normal games) and games that can be played for a limited time (hereinafter referred to as limited-time event games).

The user edits the order of the match when playing the match in the stadium part. An order is a combination of original characters that participate in a match among the original characters owned by the user. Here, it is possible to edit orders for regular games and orders for limited-time events. In the home screen image G100 or the like of FIG. 2, when the user selects the processing object P122, the My Team menu screen image for editing the order is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 28 shows a screen image of the My Team menu. The upper area A2110, the lower area A2120, and the processing object P130 in the My Team menu screen image G2100 shown in FIG. 28 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. The description is omitted here. Further, the processing object P2130 in the my team menu screen image G2100 is for returning to the screen image (that is, the home screen image G100 or the like) displayed immediately before, like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200. Is.

The My Team menu screen image G2100 shown in FIG. 28 includes the processing objects P2140 to P2170. The processing object P2140 is associated with a process for editing an order in a normal match. When the user selects the processing object P2040, a normal order editing screen image for editing an order in a normal game is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 29 shows a normal order edit screen image. As shown in FIG. 29, the normal order edit screen image G2200 includes a starting order area A2210 and a reserve player area A2220. The starting order area A2210 is for designating the original character of the starting order to participate at the start of the game among the original characters owned by the user. The reserve player area A2220 is for designating a reserve original character owned by the user that does not participate at the start of the game but can participate in the middle of the match.

When the user taps the original character displayed in the starting order area A2210 and the substitute player area A2220, the outline of the ability of the original character may be displayed. Further, when the user presses and holds the original character displayed in the starting order area A2210 and the reserve player area A2220, details such as the ability of the original character may be displayed.

For example, when the user drags and drops the original character displayed in the starting order area A2210 to the substitute player area A2220, this original character is displayed in the substitute player area A2220, and the original character to be dropped is the starting order area A2210. Is displayed in. Conversely, when the user drags and drops the original character displayed in the reserve player area A2220 to the starting order area A2210, this original character is displayed in the starting order area A2210, and the drop destination original character is in the reserve player area. It is displayed on A2220. In this way, the user can swap the original character of the starting order with the original character of the copy.

Further, for example, when the user drags and drops the original character displayed in either the starting order area A2210 or the reserve player area A2220 to the drag area A2230, a list of original characters that are neither the starting order nor the reserve is shown. The screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. When the user selects an original character to be placed in the order from this screen image, the user can replace the original character with the original character dropped in the drag area A2230.

The processing object P2240 is associated with a process for automatically setting an order. When the user selects the processing object P2240, the order is automatically set so as to be the optimum combination of the original characters owned by the user. For example, the order is automatically set so that the original character with the higher ability parameter is preferentially placed in the order. Further, for example, the order is automatically set so that the original character enters the order in descending order of the total number of experience points earned in the success part.

The processing object P2250 is associated with a process for returning the order to its original state. The original state is a time point before the order is changed in the normal order edit screen image G2200. When the user selects the processing object P2250, the order returns to the order at the time of display of the normal order edit screen image G2200.

The total power area A2260 shows the total power in the current order. The meaning of the total force is the same as that described in the area A115 of the home screen image G100. That is, the total power is a value calculated from the ability parameters of the original character in the order, and the higher this value, the easier it is to win the game. When the order is changed, the numerical value indicated by the total force region A2260 also changes.

The processing object P2270 is associated with a process for setting a method of appointing a pitcher. When the user selects the processing object P2270, a screen image for setting the method of appointing a pitcher among the original characters owned by the user is displayed on the display unit 15. In this screen image, it is possible to specify an original character that can participate in the game among the pitcher's original characters. Furthermore, among the original characters that can participate in the game, it is possible to specify the method of appointment as a pitcher (starter, middle pitcher, closer). Alternatively, if a predetermined number of games must be pitched in order to participate in a game as a pitcher, the next game that can be played is displayed.

The processing object P2280 is for returning to the screen image (that is, the My Team menu screen image G2100) displayed immediately before, like the processing object P230 in the main character registration screen image G200.

Returning to FIG. 28, the processing object P2150 is associated with a process for editing the order of the match in the limited time event. When the user selects the processing object P2150, a limited-time order editing screen image for editing the order of the match in the limited-time event is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 30 shows a limited-time order edit screen image. The starting order area A2310, the substitute player area A2320, the drag area A2330, the processing objects P2350, P2370, P2380, and the total power area A2360 of the limited-time order editing screen image G2300 shown in FIG. 30 are the normal order editing screen images G2200, respectively. It is the same as the starting order area A2210, the substitute player area A2220, the drag area A2230, the processing objects P2250, P2270, P2280, and the total power area A2260. However, the limited-time order edit screen image G2300 is different from the normal order edit screen image G2200 in that the score bonus is displayed in the starting order area A2310.

Here, the score bonus will be described. In the limited-time event, if you set a specific event character (hereinafter referred to as a special effect character) in the event deck and place the original character raised in the order and play the match, a score bonus will be given to increase the score that can be obtained after the match. It has become so. The special effect character can be said to be an event character in which an effect that is not in the normal period occurs in a specific period. That is, the special effect character can be used in a normal period other than the specific period, but the effect that occurs in the specific period does not occur in the normal period. Whether or not the event character is a special effect character may be identified by the event deck setting screen image G300, the event character change screen image G600, or the like.

FIG. 31 shows an example of the event deck setting screen image G600 during the limited-time event. As shown in FIG. 31, the event character which is the special effect character in the event character list area A640 displays information indicating the degree of the effect. For example, it is shown that if the original character raised by putting "Yamaguchi" in the event deck is used in the game, a score bonus of "5%" will be generated. Similarly, if an original character raised by putting "Tsuruya" with a rarity of "R" in the event deck is used in a match, a score bonus of "3%" will be generated, and "Tsuruya" with a rarity of "N" will be generated. It is shown that a score bonus of "2%" will be generated if the original character raised by putting "" in the event deck is used in the game. In this way, the degree of the score bonus may change depending on the rarity.

If the event deck contains multiple special effects characters, if the original characters trained using this event deck are used in a limited-time event match, the total value of the score bonuses of each of these multiple special effects characters. The score may be increased by the amount, or only the one with the highest score bonus among these plurality of special effects characters may be reflected.

Further, when the special effect character is incorporated into the event deck and the success part is played, the effect corresponding to the special effect character is generated, and the training of the main character may be advantageous. Further, the effect in the success part may be generated only for a specific period. That is, the effect generated by the special effect character is not limited to the stadium part, and may occur in the success part.

FIG. 32 shows an example of the event deck setting area A340 of the event deck setting screen image G300 during the limited-time event. As shown in FIG. 32, information indicating the degree of effect is displayed in the setting frame A344-4 in which the event character which is a special effect character is incorporated in the event character list area A640. That is, since the special effect character "Yamaguchi" is incorporated in the setting frame A344-4, the score bonus "5%" of "Yamaguchi" is displayed. If the event deck contains a plurality of special effects characters, the total value of the score bonuses generated by the plurality of special effects characters may be displayed in the event deck setting area A340.

In the limited-time event, when the cumulative value of the score acquired by the user exceeds the reference value, the user is rewarded. As for this reference value, a plurality of reference values may be set step by step. Then, the larger the reference value, the better the reward given when the reference value is exceeded. Further, the user's ranking may be determined based on the cumulative value of the score when the limited-time event ends, and the reward may be given to the user according to the ranking.

FIG. 33 shows the conditions under which the score bonus is generated. In the example of FIG. 33, the special effects characters are "E3" and "E8". As shown in FIG. 33, since the original character "P1" includes "E3" in the event deck used in the success part, a score bonus is generated when the original character "P1" is placed in the order of the match of the limited-time event. Similarly, since the original character "P3" includes "E3" and "E8" in the event deck used in the success part, a score bonus will be generated if it is placed in the order of the match of the limited-time event. On the other hand, since the original character "P2" does not include a special effect character in the event deck used in the success part, no score bonus is generated even if it is placed in the order of the game of the limited-time event.

Returning to FIG. 30, in the starting order area A2310, the value of the score bonus for each original character placed in the order and the total value of the score bonus that can occur in the current order are displayed. The score bonus may be generated only for the original character of the starting order, or may be generated for both the original character of the starting order and the copy.

The processing object P2340 is similar to the processing object P2240 in that the order is automatically determined. However, when the user selects the processing object P2340, it is possible to select whether to prioritize the score bonus and determine the order or to prioritize the ability to determine the order. When the order is decided by giving priority to the score bonus, the order is automatically decided by giving priority to the size of the value of the score bonus assigned to the original character. When the ability is prioritized, it is the same as when the processing object P2240 is selected.

Returning to FIG. 28, the processing object P2160 is associated with a process for displaying a list of original characters owned by the user. The user can see the list of original characters he owns before editing the order. Further, the processing object P2170 is associated with a process for editing the original character owned by the user. The user can edit the name and appearance of the original character. However, the ability parameters of the original character whose success part has been trained are fixed and cannot be edited.

The user will edit the order as described above and play the stadium part. For example, in the home screen image G100 shown in FIG. 2, when the user selects the processing object P150, the home screen image G100 switches to the display of the stadium part.

FIG. 34 shows a home screen image G100 when the processing object P150 is selected. The processing object P151 shown in FIG. 34 is associated with a process for playing a normal match, and the processing object P152 is associated with a process for playing a match for a limited-time event. When the user selects any of the processing objects P151 and P152, the selected processing object is displayed in the center of the home screen image G100.

In the example shown in FIG. 34, when the processing object P151 is displayed in the center and the user selects the processing object P151, a normal game is executed. On the other hand, when the processing object P152 is displayed in the center and the user selects the processing object P152, the match of the limited-time event is executed. As explained below, the flow of the game itself is the same for both regular games and limited-time events.

FIG. 35 shows the flow of a game of a normal game and a game of a limited-time event. As shown in FIG. 35, when the user selects the processing objects P151 and P152, a screen image showing a plurality of opponent candidates is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user selects an opponent from the plurality of opponent candidates. Select (S2). Opponent candidates are teams of other users. For example, a team of another user similar to the rank of the user or the total strength of the team is selected as an opponent candidate.

When the opponent is selected, a screen image for changing the order is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user can change the contents of the normal match order or the match order of the limited-time event ( S4). This screen image is the same as the normal order edit screen image G2200 or the limited-time order edit screen image G2300.

When the order for the match is decided, the condition of the original character included in the order is fixed (S6). As for the tone, any of a plurality of levels (for example, 6 levels) of the tone is randomly assigned to each original character of the order. The better the condition, the better the ability parameters of the original character, and you can play an active part in the game.

The user selects a game item to be used in the game from the owned game items (S8). The game items that can be selected here are to advance the game in an advantageous manner or increase the score that can be obtained in the game.

When the user selects a game item, the match starts (S10). The match may proceed automatically from the start to the end, or the user may be allowed to operate the participating original character only when a predetermined scene is reached. Further, the user may be allowed to operate all the scenes of the match.

When the match is over, a screen image showing the result of the match is displayed on the display unit 15 (S12). As a result of the match, the outcome of the match, the score of each team, and the score obtained by the user are displayed on the screen image. The score will be determined based on the content and result of the match. However, a score that is better operated by the user is given than when the game is automatically advanced. For example, if the original character hits or hits a home run based on the user's operation, the user is given a higher score than if the same original character hits or hits a home run by automatically advancing the game. It is supposed to be done.

When the result of the match is displayed, the latest ranking of the user is displayed on the display unit 15 (S14). The ranking may be determined based on the cumulative value of the scores obtained in the match, or the ranking may be determined based on the maximum score obtained in the current or past match. As mentioned above, in the case of a limited-time event match, if the order includes the original character with the score bonus, the score calculated by the same calculation method as in the normal match will increase by the score bonus. It will be. For example, when a game of a limited-time event is played in the order shown in FIG. 30, the score is increased by 14% as compared with the case where the same result is obtained in a normal game.

As described above, the user aims to play the stadium part to get a score and raise the ranking. The ranking is changed at regular intervals. The predetermined period may be one week, one day or one month. Further, the highest score given by each user in the play of the stadium part performed during a predetermined period (for example, one week) may be confirmed on the display unit 15. When each user gives the highest score within a predetermined period, the score displayed on the display unit 15 is overwritten. At the end of the predetermined period, the score is cleared and the highest score in the next predetermined period is newly displayed. Then, in the present embodiment, when the highest score given by the user during this predetermined period is overtaken by a friend's user, a challenge letter is automatically received from the friend. The fact that the challenge letter has arrived from the friend is notified to the user by displaying it as shown by the processing object P170 in FIG. 34. In addition, when challenge letters are received from a plurality of friends, the number of challenge letters may be notified on the same screen. The user terminal 10 of the friend can confirm that the challenge letter has been sent to the user. That is, the user terminal 10 on the friend side notifies the friend that the challenge letter has been sent. The challenge letter is not limited to the score, and may be delivered when some evaluation or evaluation value in the game, for example, a ranking or the like is omitted. Alternatively, the score values can be the same, or the rankings can be arranged, that is, the user can reach the user when he / she is overtaken by a friend. In addition, the challenge letter may be exchanged with all friends of a certain user, or with only some friends. In this case, for example, only friends with the same or similar rank as the user's rank may be targeted. Alternatively, based on the intimacy between the user and the friend (for example, set based on the number of battles, chat history, etc.), only friends with a predetermined or higher intimacy may be targeted for the challenge.

FIG. 36 is an explanatory diagram of a challenge. The t-axis shown in FIG. 36 is a time axis. Here, it is assumed that the user A and the user B have a friendship. At a certain time point t1, user A has a score of 150,000 points, and at a time point t2 after the time point t1, user B has a score of 120,000 points. When the user B plays the stadium part, obtains a score of 180,000 points, and overtakes the user A, the challenge letter is automatically sent from the user B to the user A.

When the challenge letter is sent, as shown in FIG. 34, the processing object P170 for playing against the friend who sent the challenge letter is displayed on the home screen image G100. Information (user name, etc.) that can recognize the friend who sent the challenge letter may be displayed on the processing object P170. Here, when challenge letters from a plurality of friends have arrived, the number of them may be displayed in the vicinity of the processing object P170 or superimposed on the processing object P170. For example, if three challenge letters have arrived, the number 3 is displayed. The method of notifying the number of challenge letters is not limited to the method of displaying numbers, and may be notified by the number of images. When the user selects the processing object P170, a match is played against the friend who sent the challenge letter. Since this match is mainly for the purpose of promoting competition with friends, the match ticket may not be consumed, or a medal or the like may not be obtained.

The challenge letter may be restricted so that a new challenge letter cannot be sent to the same friend until a predetermined time has passed. For example, a new challenge letter may not be sent until 3 hours or more have passed. Further, the challenge letter may be provided with an expiration date (for example, one day) in which it can be used. The expiration date is set for the challenge letter so that the challenge letter for each user does not become too large. When the expiration date has passed, the processing object P170 of FIG. 34 is deleted. When there are a plurality of challenge letters, the number of the number of challenge letters written together with the processing object P170 is gradually reduced each time the expiration date of each challenge letter expires. By doing so, it is possible to prevent a large number of challenge letters from being accumulated for the user.

Further, in the present embodiment, when a friend overtakes the score of the user, a challenge letter arrives and the friend can be played against the friend, thereby giving the user an opportunity to pull back the friend. You may give it. This benefit may be for the user to get a good score in the stadium part. In other words, it may be a privilege that affects the relationship (difference) between the user's score and the friend's score. For example, a match ticket may be given to a user to give him / her an opportunity to play a match, thereby giving him / her an opportunity to retrieve a friend's score. In addition, for example, it may be a privilege for the user to give a good score by advancing the game in an advantageous manner. In this case, it may be a game item that lowers the ability parameter of the opponent or a game item that increases the ability parameter of the user's original character. By using these game items, the opponent becomes weaker and the user's original character becomes stronger, so that the user can easily obtain a good score in the game. That is, by giving these game items to the user, the user may be given an opportunity to pull back the score of the friend.

As described above, the game system 1 has various techniques. For example, the game system 1 displays the bonus detail screen image G500 to display the level of the event character and the effect generated in the success part. It has a technology that makes it possible to easily grasp the correspondence between. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a first technique.

In addition, the game system 1 sets various event characters in the event deck by giving a score bonus when the original character raised by setting the special effect character in the event deck is placed in the order and the game of the limited-time event is played. Has motivational technology. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a second technique.

In addition, the game system 1 is an event deck in which the training is advantageous by displaying the training of the event character set in the event deck in the training areas A346 and A1646, which practice is selected in the success part. It has the technology to easily grasp the existence. Hereinafter, this technology will be referred to as a third technology.

In addition, the game system 1 prevents the original character from acquiring super special abilities unless the event character with high rarity is set in the event deck when the user selects a normal scenario, and the user is limited to a limited time. When a scenario is selected, the original character has the technology to acquire super special abilities even if this event character is not set in the event deck. Hereinafter, this technology will be referred to as a fourth technology.

In addition, the game system 1 has a technique for promoting competition among users by receiving a challenge letter when a certain user is overtaken by a friend user. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a fifth technique.

Hereinafter, the details of the first technique to the fifth technique will be mainly described.

[3. Functions realized in game system 1]
FIG. 37 is a functional block diagram showing functions related to the present invention among the functions realized by the game system 1. In the present embodiment, the case where the main processing related to the game is executed on the user terminal 10 will be described, but as will be described in the modified example described later, the main processing related to the game will be executed on the server 30. May be good.

Among the functions realized in the server 30, the data storage unit 3000 is mainly realized by the storage unit 32, and the other functions are mainly realized by the control unit 31. Among the functions realized in the user terminal 10, the individual data storage unit 1000 is mainly realized by the storage unit 12, and each of the other functions is mainly realized by the control unit 11.

First, the functions common to the first to fifth techniques will be described, and then the functions related to each of the first to fifth techniques will be described. Here, as functions common to the first to fifth techniques, the data storage unit 3000, the processing unit 3010, the individual data storage unit 1000, and the request unit 1010 will be described.

The data storage unit 3000 stores data necessary for the game executed by the game system 1. Here, as an example of the data stored in the data storage unit 3000, the user table TBL301, the event character table TBL302, the event deck table TBL303, the original character table TBL304, and the order table TBL305 will be described.

FIG. 38 shows an example of the user table TBL301. As shown in FIG. 38, the user table TBL301 is a data table showing information about each user. For example, the user table TBL301 includes the fields described below.

The "User ID" field indicates identification information for identifying the user. The "Profile" field indicates the user's registration information such as the user name and self-introduction text.

The "Friends" field indicates identifying information for identifying other users who are friends with the user. For example, each user can make a friend request to make a friendship with another user. For example, the user A performs an operation for making a friend request at the end of the success part to the user B who owns the event character set in the event deck as a helper in the success part. When the user B performs an operation for approving the friend request, the user A and the user B become a friend, the user ID of the user B is stored in the "friend" field of the user A, and the user ID of the user B is stored in the "friend" field of the user B. The user ID of user A is stored. The operation for approving the friend request can be performed, for example, from the screen image displayed when the processing object P130 is selected.

The User Parameters field indicates the various parameters associated with the user. This parameter may be used in the success part or the stadium part, or may be used to acquire a game item. For example, the "User Parameters" field indicates success points, match tickets, power stones, mini stones (game items that can be exchanged for power stones when a predetermined number is collected), coins, gacha points, and medals. For parameters such as success points and match tickets that recover after a lapse of a predetermined time, the remaining time until recovery may be stored. Alternatively, for example, the "user parameter" field may store the rank of the current order and the total strength of the order.

The "Item" field indicates a game item owned by the user. The "stadium" field shows the result of the match in the stadium part (battle record), the score obtained by the user (cumulative score / highest score), and the current ranking of the user. In the present embodiment, since there are a normal game and a game of a limited-time event, the result, the score, and the ranking are stored for each of them. The "Challenge" field indicates the game task and the achievement status of the user in the challenge part.

The "Challenge" field indicates a challenge that the user has received from a friend. When the user receives a challenge letter from a friend, the friend's user ID is stored in the "challenge letter" field. The "challenge letter" field may store time information related to the challenge letter. This time information indicates, for example, the time when a friend overtakes the user's score or the expiration date of the challenge letter. The user may be able to use the challenge letter to play against a friend within a time limit determined based on the time information. Expired challenges may be removed from the Challenge field.

FIG. 39 shows an example of the event character table TBL302. As shown in FIG. 39, the event character table TBL302 is a data table showing a list of event characters owned by each user. For example, the event character table TBL302 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 "Lock" field indicates whether or not the event character is locked. The "leader" field indicates identification information for identifying the event character set for the leader.

The "Rarity" field indicates the rarity of the event character. The meaning of rarity is similar to rarity. The "rareness" is an aspect other than the aspect described in this embodiment, for example, "1, 2, ...", "A, B, ...", "Gold, silver, ...". It can also be represented by.

The "Attribute" field indicates the attribute (classification) of the event character. For example, any of a plurality of types of attributes is associated with each event character. Here, each event character has one of the attributes of "player", "manager", or "reinforcement material". Event characters with the "player" attribute can participate in matches during the success part and contribute to victory. On the other hand, the event character with the attribute of "manager" or "reinforcement material" does not participate in the match during the success part. Therefore, data is not stored in the "position" field, the "specific practice" field, or the like of the event character of the "manager" or "reinforcement material" attribute. Instead, the value of the "Event Power" field of the event character of the "Manager" attribute is higher than that of the event character of the "Player" attribute, or the event character of the "Reinforcement Material" attribute is used for enhancement. You can get more experience points than the event characters with the attributes of "player" and "manager".

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 Gender field indicates the gender of the event character. For example, in the success part, for a specific scenario, only one of the male or female event characters may be set in the event deck.

The "experience value" field indicates the experience value of the event character. The Level field indicates the level of the event character. The Highest Level field indicates the upper limit of the level of the event character. The Profile field indicates the profile information of the event character.

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 regarding the type and amount of experience point points or ability parameters given to the main character by the occurrence of the event. Information indicating the probability or condition that an event occurs may be stored in the "event" field.

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 contents 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. For example, the "bonus" field is associated with a level and a bonus earned.

The "ability parameter" fold indicates the ability parameter of the event character. For example, when a match event occurs in the success 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.

The "event power" field indicates the event power, which is an index to the extent that the event character is advantageous when it is set in the event deck. The "player ability" field indicates the player ability, which is an index of the high ability of the event character as a player.

The "first setting frame" field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-1 of the event deck setting area A340. If the event character is not set in the setting frame A344-1, 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 A344-2. The "third setting frame" field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-3. The "fourth setting frame" field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-4. The "fifth setting frame" field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-5.

FIG. 41 shows an example of the original character table TBL304. As shown in FIG. 41, the original character table TBL304 is a data table showing a list of original characters trained by each user or a main character being trained. For example, the original character table TBL304 includes the fields described below.

The "User ID" field indicates identification information for identifying the user. The "original character ID" field indicates identification information for identifying the original character or the hero character being trained. The "Name" field indicates the name of the original character or the main character being trained. The "Position" field indicates the baseball position that the original character or the hero character being trained is good at.

The "Ability Parameter", "Physical Fitness Parameter", "Motivation Parameter", "Experience Point", and "Evaluation" fields are the ability parameter, physical fitness parameter, motivation parameter, and experience point point of the original character or the main character being trained. And the evaluation from other characters are shown. Since the training of the original character has been completed, the "physical strength parameter", "motivation parameter", "experience point point", and "evaluation" fields may be left blank. Further, in the "experience point points" field, the total value of the experience point points acquired in the success part may be stored together with the experience point points remaining at the present time.

The "event deck" field indicates the contents of the event deck used when training the original character or the main character being trained. In the success part, the event character of the leader of another user can be added as a helper, so the event character set in the event deck set by the user and the event character of the helper have their respective event character IDs of ". It will be stored in the "Event Deck" field.

The “Raising Status” field indicates the current upbringing status. That is, the "cultivation status" field indicates whether the cultivation has been completed or is in progress. Also, if training is in progress, the “training status” field may also indicate the current in-game time. Further, the knack level of the main character may be stored in the "cultivation status" field.

The data stored in the original character table TBL304 is not limited to the above example. For example, basic information (an image showing the appearance or a high school from which the student was born) regarding the original character or the main character being trained may be stored in the original character table TBL304. In addition, for example, the knack level that changes during the success part and the state of the main character may be stored in the original character table TBL304.

FIG. 42 shows an example of the order table TBL305. As shown in FIG. 42, the order table TBL305 is a data table showing the contents of the order set by the user. The order table TBL305 includes the fields described below.

The "User ID" field indicates identification information for identifying the user. The Order Type field indicates the type of order. Here, information indicating whether the order is a normal order or an order for a limited-time event is stored. The "Order" field stores the original character ID included in the order.

The data stored by the data storage unit 3000 is not limited to the above example. The data storage unit 3000 may store data necessary for the game. For example, the data storage unit 3000 may store the master data of the event character. Further, for example, the data storage unit 3000 may store various image data. Further, for example, the data storage unit 3000 may store data indicating the relationship between each goal and the reward in the challenge part. Further, for example, data indicating the contents of each scenario may be stored. Further, for example, data showing the relationship between the special effect character and the score bonus may be stored. Further, for example, the data storage unit 3000 may store the user's setting information in association with the user ID. The setting information includes, for example, an auto flag indicating the selection content of the processing object P822 of the main command screen image G800, a skip flag indicating the selection content of the processing object P823, and a shortcut flag indicating the selection content of the processing object P824.

In response to a request from the user terminal 10, the processing unit 3010 acquires data related to the user of the user terminal 10 among the data stored in the data storage unit 3000 and transmits the data to the user terminal 10 or the user terminal 10. Update the data.

For example, it is assumed that the request from the user terminal 10 includes the user ID. When the above request is received by the server 30, the processing unit 3010 acquires the data stored in association with the received user ID from the data storage unit 3000 and transmits the data to the user terminal 10. For example, the processing unit 3010 acquires the event character data stored in association with the user ID from the event character table TBL 302, and transmits the event character data to the user terminal 10. Similarly, the processing unit 3010 acquires the event deck data and the original character data stored in association with the user ID from the event deck table TBL303 and the original character table TBL304, and obtains the event deck data and the original character data from the user terminal 10. Send to.

When the above request is received by the server 30, the processing unit 3010 is notified from the user terminal 10 of the data stored in the data storage unit 3000 (that is, the data stored in association with the received user ID). Update according to the updated contents.

The individual data storage unit 1000 is for storing data related to the user of the user terminal 10 among the data stored in the data storage unit 3000.

The request unit 1010 acquires data related to the user of the user terminal 10 from the data stored in the data storage unit 3000, stores the data in the individual data storage unit 1000, or stores the data in the individual data storage unit 1000. When the data to be stored is updated, the data stored in the data storage unit 3000 is also updated in the same manner.

The request unit 1010 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 home screen image G100 is displayed, the timing at which the success part is started, and the like.

When the data returned from the server 30 is received by the user terminal 10, the request unit 1010 stores the data in the individual data storage unit 1000.

For example, the request unit 1010 stores the event character data returned from the server 30 in the event character table TBL 302 included in the individual data storage unit 1000. The event character table TBL302 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 TBL302 shown in FIG. 39. (The "User ID" field may be excluded).

Further, the request unit 1010 stores the event deck data returned from the server 30 in the event deck table TBL 303 included in the individual data storage unit 1000. The event deck table TBL303 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 TBL303 shown in FIG. 39. (The "User ID" field may be excluded).

Further, the request unit 1010 stores the original character data returned from the server 30 in the original character table TBL 304 included in the individual data storage unit 1000. The original character table TBL304 is a data table for storing only the original character of the user of the user terminal 10, and is, for example, a data table including the same fields as the original character table TBL304 shown in FIG. 41. (The "User ID" field may be excluded).

The data stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 is referred to or updated during the execution of the baseball game. When the data stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 is updated, the request unit 1010 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 3000 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.

[3-1. About the first technology]
Next, the function related to the first technique will be described. For example, the first technique includes a first game execution unit 1020, a first effect generation unit 1021, a change target selection unit 1030, a level change unit 1040, a use target selection unit 1050, an effect display control unit 1060, and a data acquisition unit 1070. It is realized by the change target display control unit 1080, the material character selection unit 1090, the upper limit release determination unit 1100, the permission unit 1110, the condition display control unit 1120, the event power display control unit 1130, and the player ability display control unit 1140.

The first game execution unit 1020 executes a success part in which the ability parameters of the main character are changed or set based on the user's operation. The first game execution unit 1020 executes a baseball game game program and updates various data related to the success part (for example, the original character table TBL304).

For example, the first game execution unit 1020 executes a success part including a game in which a game task is set, based on the main character and the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050.

The "game task" here is a task (mission) defined in the game, for example, to win a battle. In the "game task", the main character and the event character set in the event deck are used. When the result of the game processing executed based on these is a predetermined result, the "game task" is achieved. For example, in a match, the "game task" is achieved when the user has more points than the opponent. Winning a match in a success part is an example of a game task.

The "success part including the game in which the game task is set" means that there is a game in which the game task is set as a part of the success part. For example, if winning a match corresponds to a game task, the success part will include the match game as part. For example, when the progress status of the success part reaches a predetermined status, a game in which a game task is set can be played.

For example, the first game execution unit 1020 excludes a specific event character among a plurality of event characters from the achievement of the game task even if it is selected by the use target selection unit 1050.

This "specific event character" may be defined as not being used for the game task. In this embodiment, the value of the "attribute" field is "manager". "Not applicable to the achievement of the game task" means that it does not contribute to the achievement of the game task. For example, it means that it is not used in a game in which a game task is set. That is, the event character of the "manager" will not participate in the match in the success part even if it is set in the event deck.

The change target selection unit 1030 selects any one of the plurality of event characters as the change target based on the user's operation. The "change target" is an event character that is a target for changing the level parameter. In this embodiment, the base character corresponds to the "change target".

For example, as shown in the base character selection screen image G1700 (FIG. 23), identification information for identifying each of the plurality of event characters is displayed on the display unit 15, and the change target selection unit 1030 is among the user's. Select one or more based on the operation. The "identification information" is, for example, an image representing an event character. In the present embodiment, the processing object of each event character displayed in the event character list area A1740 corresponds to the "identification information".

In the present embodiment, the user directly selects the base character, but the user selects only the selection conditions for selecting the base character, and the base character is selected based on the selection conditions. You may do so. The selection condition is, for example, a good practice of the event character. In this case, when the user selects a practice that is emphasized in the success part, one of the event characters for which the practice is set as a good practice may be selected as the base character. By doing so, the event character that is effective for efficiently performing the practice that the user attaches importance to is selected as the base character, so that the user does not have to search for the base character one by one. In such a case, a plurality of selection conditions for selecting one or more event characters are defined, and the change target selection unit 1030 selects one or more from among them based on the selection conditions selected by the user. It will be. The selection condition may be a condition related to the level of the event character or the effect generated in the game.

The level change unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the event character selected by the change target selection unit 1030. For example, the level change unit 1040 changes the level parameters of the event character selected by the change target selection unit 1030 based on other game objects.

The "other game object" is a game object that is neither the main character object nor the event character selected by the change target selection unit 1030. The "other game object" may be a plurality of event characters other than the event character selected by the change target selection unit 1030, or may be a third game object that is neither the main character nor the event character. good. The third game object can be said to be a game object for changing the level parameter. For example, the third game object can be said to be a game object dedicated to strengthening the event character. For example, other game objects may be selected based on the user's operation, or may be automatically selected. In this embodiment, the material character corresponds to "another game object".

For example, the level change unit 1040 changes the level parameter by using the material character to increase the experience value parameter of the base character. In this embodiment, the material character is consumed (disappeared) when the experience value parameter or the level parameter changes. For example, the amount of change in the experience value parameter and the level parameter differs depending on the material character. In this case, the association between the material character and the change in the experience value parameter or the level parameter is stored in the storage unit. Experience and level parameters change based on the changes associated with the material character. For example, when the "attribute" field of the material character indicates "strengthening material", the amount of increase in the level parameter can be increased by increasing the experience value parameters that can be acquired compared to the case where other attributes are indicated. good.

In the present embodiment, the case where the level parameter of the base character is changed by using the material character will be described, but the level change unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the base character based on a predetermined parameter. You may. In this case, the level change unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the event character selected by the change target selection unit 1030 based on the parameter for changing the level. The parameter that changes the level may be, for example, a "power injection point" that the user can obtain in the game. In this case, the level change unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the base character by injecting the "power injection point" into the base character.

As described above, each of the plurality of event characters is restricted so that the level parameter of the event character does not fall within a predetermined range. "Restriction so that the level parameter does not fall within the predetermined range" means prohibiting the level parameter from falling within the predetermined range. That is, the level parameter of each event character is restricted so as not to be larger than the highest level.

The use target selection unit 1050 selects at least one of a plurality of event characters as a use target. The "use target" is a game object that is a target used in a game, and is a game object that produces an effect in the game. In this embodiment, setting in the event deck corresponds to selecting as the target of use.

For example, the use target selection unit 1050 selects an event character based on a user operation. In this case, as shown in the event character change screen image G600 (FIG. 9), the identification information for identifying each of the plurality of event characters is displayed on the display unit 15, and the use target selection unit 1050 is the user. Select one or more based on the operation of. The "identification information" is, for example, an image representing an event character. In the present embodiment, the processing object of each event character displayed in the event character list area A640 corresponds to the "identification information".

Further, for example, the use target selection unit 1050 may automatically select an event character based on a predetermined condition. For example, the use target selection unit 1050 selects an event character based on a level parameter. For example, when a plurality of types of effects occur in a game, the use target selection unit 1050 selects an event character in which the effect selected by the user occurs. Alternatively, for example, the use target selection unit 1050 may automatically select based on the level parameter and the rarity parameter of the event character.

The first effect generation unit 1021 generates an effect on the success part regarding the change or setting of the ability parameter of the main character based on the level parameter of the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050. For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 changes the effect based on the level parameter of the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050. For example, since the data associated with the level parameter and the content of the effect is stored in the "bonus" field of the event character table TBL302, the first effect generating unit 1021 has the content associated with the level parameter. Generates the effect of in the success part.

For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 outputs an effect associated with the parameter range to which the values from the initial value to the current value of the level parameter of the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050 belong among the plurality of parameter ranges. It will be generated. The "parameter range to which the value from the initial value to the current value of the level parameter belongs" is a value (for example, 1 to 50) from the initial value (for example, 1) to the current value (for example, 50) of the level parameter. ) Is included, and is meant to include both the parameter range to which the level parameter currently belongs and the parameter range to which the level parameter has belonged in the past. For example, when an event character having a level parameter of 1 becomes 50 at once due to strengthening, the first effect generating unit 1021 generates only the effects associated with the parameter range including 1 and the parameter range including 50. Instead, it will produce an effect associated with a parameter range that contains at least one number between 1 and 50. That is, in this case, the first effect generating unit 1021 generates all the effects having the level parameter of 50 or less. If the level parameter indicates that the level is higher as the numerical value is higher, all the effects below the current value will be generated, but the level parameter indicating that the level is higher as the numerical value is lower (for example, indicating the rank). In such a case. For example, 1 is the highest level), all effects equal to or higher than the current value will be generated.

When the operation for selecting the change target is performed, the effect display control unit 1060 determines the correspondence relationship between the level parameter of the event character and the effect generated by the first effect generation unit 1021 for each event character. The control for displaying the corresponding correspondence information shown on the display unit 15 is executed.

"When an operation for selecting a change target is performed" is a predetermined timing before and after the user performs the operation. For example, until the selection of the base character is completed. For example, while displaying the base character selection screen image G1700 for accepting the base character selection operation.

The "correspondence information" is information indicating the association between the range of the level parameter and the effect that occurs when the level parameter belongs to the range. Correspondence information includes information indicating the content of the effect. In other words, it includes text information or image information that enables the user to grasp the content of the effect. In addition, the correspondence information may include information that identifies the event character. This information includes the name and appearance of the event character. In the present embodiment, the bonus detailed screen image G500 corresponds to "correspondence-related information". Here, the correspondence information is displayed when the base character selection operation is performed, but the correspondence information itself may be displayed at an arbitrary timing. For example, the correspondence information may be displayed from the list of event characters displayed by selecting the processing object P1570 of the event character menu screen image G1500.

“Executing control for displaying on the display means” means, for example, generating an image and displaying the image on the display means. Further, for example, the image is displayed on the display means by generating data necessary for displaying the image and transmitting the data to the display means or a terminal connected to the display means. The "data necessary for displaying an image" may be data indicating the image itself, or may be data necessary for generating an image. The meaning of the same expression in the following is the same.

The data acquisition unit 1070 acquires the data stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 that stores the data associated with each of the plurality of parameter ranges divided in stages and the effect generated by the effect generation unit. This data can be said to be data showing the correspondence between the parameter range and the effect. This data may be in table format or mathematical format. In this embodiment, the "bonus" field of the event character table TBL302 corresponds to the above data.

The "parameter range" is, for example, a range in which a numerical value can be taken when the parameter is a numerical value. For example, from the first reference value to the second reference value larger than the first reference value. For example, when the parameter is a symbol, it is the range of the order when the symbols are arranged in the symbol order. For example, from the first order to the second order after the first order. The parameter range here means not only a plurality of levels but also a single level. That is, the effect generated in the success part may be defined for each level.

For example, the effect display control unit 1060 executes control for displaying the correspondence information indicating the correspondence between each of the plurality of parameter ranges and the effect generated by the first effect generation unit 1021 on the display unit 15. .. That is, the display control unit executes control for displaying the correspondence information indicating the effect of each parameter range on the display unit 15. In this embodiment, as shown in the bonus detailed screen image G500 of FIG. 8, the effect generated for each level range is shown.

Further, for example, the effect display control unit 1060 has, for each event character, the effect associated with the parameter range to which the value from the initial value to the current value of the level parameter of the event character belongs, and the effect from the initial value to the current value of the level parameter. The display unit 15 is controlled to display the correspondence information that distinguishes the effect associated with the parameter range to which the values up to and below do not belong.

The "parameter range to which the value from the initial value to the current value of the level parameter does not belong" is a value (for example, 1 to 50) from the initial value (for example, 1) to the current value (for example, 50) of the level parameter. It is a parameter range that does not include any numerical value), for example, a parameter range in which the level parameter has never belonged to either the present or the past.

The "distinguished correspondence information" is to make the display mode on the screen different. For example, adding an image, making the color, brightness, pattern, and size different. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the bonus detailed screen image G500 to which the check objects C510 and C520 are added corresponds to the above-mentioned distinguished correspondence information.

The change target display control unit 1080 executes control for displaying a reception image for receiving an operation for selecting a change target on the display unit 15.

The "reception image" is an image displayed when an operation is accepted. The operation performed while the reception image is displayed corresponds to the operation for selecting the change target. In the present embodiment, the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1740 of the base character selection screen image G1700 corresponds to the reception image.

Further, for example, the effect display control unit 1060 may execute a control for displaying the correspondence information on the display unit 15 after the operation for displaying the correspondence information is performed in the state where the reception image is displayed. It may be.

"After the user performs a predetermined operation for displaying the correspondence information while the reception image is displayed" means after the predetermined operation performed while the reception image is displayed. For example, it means both according to a predetermined operation or according to an operation performed in a state where an image displayed according to the predetermined operation is displayed.

In the present embodiment, the effect display control unit 1060 displays the bonus detail screen image G500 on the display unit 15 when the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1740 of the base character selection screen image G1700 is long-pressed. Perform control to display.

The effect display control unit 1060 may execute the control for displaying the correspondence information on the display unit 15 in the state where the reception image is displayed. In this case, the effect display control unit 1060 displays the reception image and the correspondence information on the same screen.

The material character selection unit 1090 selects at least one of the plurality of game objects as the material character based on the user's operation.

The "plurality of game objects" here means game objects excluding the base character, the original character, and the main character. In the present embodiment, the event characters (that is, material character candidates) that can be selected in the event character list area A1940 of the material character selection screen image G1900 correspond to a plurality of game objects.

The upper limit release determination unit 1100 determines whether or not a given condition associated with the base character selected by the change target selection unit 1030 is satisfied based on the material character selected by the material character selection unit 1090. ..

The "given condition associated with the base character" is a condition determined by the base character and may be different for each base character. For example, selecting a game object of the same type as the base character.

For example, a given condition is a condition that can be satisfied when the material character selected by the material character selection unit 1090 is a specific event character. The specific event character is an event character associated with the base character selected by the change target selection unit 1030, and is, for example, the same event character as the event character. In other words, the predetermined condition is a condition that is not satisfied unless a specific event character is selected, and is a condition that is satisfied with a predetermined probability when a specific event character is selected.

Further, for example, a given condition is a condition that is satisfied with a probability determined based on the material character selected by the material character selection unit 1090. It is a condition that is satisfied under the probability associated with the material character. This probability is determined by, for example, the parameters of the material character. For example, the higher (larger) the rarity parameter or level parameter of the material character, the higher the probability may be.

When the upper limit release determination unit 1100 determines that the given condition is satisfied, the permission unit 1110 sets the level parameter of the base character selected by the change target selection unit 1030 to a predetermined range or one of a predetermined range. Allow to be in the scope of the department. As a general rule, the permission unit 1110 does not allow the level parameter of the event character to exceed the maximum level. Therefore, the permission unit 1110 does not allow the level parameter of the event character to exceed the maximum level. Allows you to exceed the highest level.

The "predetermined range" may be a predetermined parameter range. For example, if the parameter is a numerical value, it will be greater than or equal to the reference value, and if the parameter is a symbol, it will be a symbol after the predetermined order. In the present embodiment, a range higher (larger) than the maximum level value corresponds to a predetermined range.

The condition display control unit 1120 controls the display unit 15 to display the condition information regarding a given condition when the operation for selecting the material character is performed. "Condition information" is an image or text indicating the content of a given condition.

For example, the condition display control unit 1120 controls the display unit 15 to display condition information regarding whether or not the event character is a specific event character for each event character. In the present embodiment, as shown in the material character selection screen image G1900 of FIG. 25, “opening 100%” or “opening 30%” indicating whether or not the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1940 can be opened at the highest level is possible. Is displayed.

Further, for example, the condition display control unit 1120 controls the display unit 15 to display the condition information regarding the probability when the event character is selected by the material character selection unit 1090 for each event character. In the present embodiment, as shown in the material character selection screen image G1900 of FIG. 25, “opening 100%” or “opening 30%” indicating the highest level of opening probability for the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1940. Is to be displayed.

The event power display control unit 1130 causes the display unit 15 to display information indicating the degree of the effect generated by the first effect generation unit 1021 when the event character is selected by the use target selection unit 1050 for each event character. Control for

"Information indicating the degree of effect" is a numerical value or a symbol indicating the magnitude (high or low) of the effect. In this mobile phone, the event power displayed on the event character screen image G400 corresponds to information indicating the degree of effect. The event power display control unit 1130 acquires the value of the “event power” field of the event character table TBL302 and displays it on the display unit 15.

[3-2. About the second technology]
In order to realize the second technique, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 includes the first game execution unit 1020, the first effect generation unit 1021, the effect display control unit 1060, the distinction display control unit 1150, and the helper selection unit 1160. , The second game execution unit 1170, the special effect determination unit 1171, and the second effect generation unit 1172 are included.

Since the first game execution unit 1020 executes the same processing as the processing described in the first technique, the description thereof will be omitted here.

The first effect generation unit 1021 is on the success part regarding the change or setting of the ability parameter of the main character based on at least one selected from the plurality of event characters (for example, the event character set in the event deck). To generate the effect of. The first effect generating unit 1021 may also execute the same processing as the processing described in the first technique, but since the second technique is mainly related to the special effect character, the first effect generating section 1021 Will change the effect based on the level parameter of the slayer character when the slayer character is selected. The method of changing the effect based on the level parameter is the same as the method described in the first technique.

In the first technique, the case where the first effect generating section 1021 generates an effect based on the level parameter has been described, but in the second technique, the first effect generating section 1021 produces an effect based on the event character. It may be generated, and it does not necessarily have to be based on the level parameter. For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 may generate an effect based on an ability parameter or rarity, or may generate an effect based on an event list.

When an operation for selecting at least one of a plurality of event characters (for example, an event character set in the event deck) is performed, the distinction display control unit 1150 provides information on the special effect character and other event characters. The control for displaying the information related to the information on the display unit 15 separately is executed. The meaning of the above operation and the meaning of "distinguishing display" are the same as those described in the first technique.

"When the operation is performed" is a predetermined timing before and after the user performs the operation. For example, until the selection of the event character is completed. For example, while displaying the event deck setting screen image G300, the event character change screen image G600, or the event deck edit screen image G1600 for accepting the event character selection operation.

"Information about the character" is information for identifying the event character or a parameter of the event character. In the present embodiment, the processing object that identifies the event character corresponds to the information about the character. For example, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the distinction display control unit 1150 makes the display mode of the special effect character processing object and other event characters different in the event character list area A640 and the setting frame. It should be noted that displaying the information about the special effect character and the information about other event characters separately is not limited to the operation for selecting the event character to be incorporated in the event deck. These distinctions may be displayed at any time. For example, in the list of event characters displayed by selecting the processing object P1570 of the event character menu screen image G1500, the special effect character and other event characters may be distinguished from each other. In addition, for example, when an event character is given by a gacha executed after the user selects the processing object P124, the event character menu screen image G1500 is displayed, and when the processing object P1570 is selected, the distinction display is made. May be done. In this case, the display of the event character menu screen image G1500 may be omitted and only the distinctive display may be performed.

The effect display control unit 1060 executes control for displaying the correspondence relationship information indicating the correspondence relationship between the special effect character and the effect generated by the second effect generation unit 1172 on the display unit 15. For example, the effect display control unit 1060 displays the special effect character and the effect generated in the stadium part in association with each other. Correspondence information includes information indicating the content of the effect. In other words, it includes text information or image information that enables the user to grasp the content of the effect. In addition, the correspondence information includes information for identifying the special effect character. This information includes the name and appearance of the special effects character. For example, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the effect display control unit 1060 displays the score bonus of the special effect character in the event character list area A640 or the setting frame.

The effect display control unit 1060 causes the display unit 15 to display correspondence information when an operation for selecting at least one of a plurality of event characters (for example, an event character set in the event deck) is performed. To perform control for. The above operation and the meaning of "when the operation is performed" are as described above.

The helper selection unit 1160 selects an event character owned by another user associated with the user. An "other user associated with a user" is, for example, a user in a friendship. Not only event characters owned by the user who plays the game but also event characters owned by other users can be selected.

The second game execution unit 1170 executes the stadium part in which the original character is used. For example, the second game execution unit 1170 executes the stadium part based on the ability parameters of the original character. The second game execution unit 1170 executes the game program of the baseball game and updates various data related to the stadium part (for example, the user table TBL301).

The second game execution unit 1170 may execute the stadium part game based on the user's operation, or may automatically execute the stadium part game without being based on the user's operation. .. It may be possible for the user to specify whether to execute the stadium part game based on the user's operation or to automatically execute the stadium part game.

The special effect determination unit 1171 determines whether or not the ability parameter of the original character used in the stadium part is changed or set in the success part executed with the special effect character selected. For example, the special effect determination unit 1171 determines whether or not the special effect character is used when the ability parameter of the original character is changed or set. Here, since the content of the event deck when the ability parameter of the original character is changed or set is stored in the original character table TBL304, the special effect determination unit 1171 makes a determination based on the content of the original character table TBL304. ..

The second effect generation unit 1172 generates an effect advantageous or disadvantageous to the user on the stadium part based on the determination result of the special effect determination unit 1171.

The "effect that is advantageous or disadvantageous to the user" is an effect that makes it easier to obtain a desired result in the stadium part, or an effect that makes it difficult to obtain the desired result. For example, in the case of a game that aims to obtain rewards (points, in-game currency, etc.) such as a stadium part, the effect is to increase or decrease the reward. For example, in the case of a battle game such as a stadium part, the effect may be an effect that makes it easier to proceed with the battle or an effect that makes it difficult to proceed.

For example, when the second effect generation unit 1172 determines that the ability parameter of the original character used in the stadium part is changed or set in the success part executed with the special effect character selected. Generate a user-friendly effect on the stadium part. Further, for example, when the second effect generation unit 1172 determines that the level parameter of the original character used in the stadium part is not changed or set in the success part executed with the special effect character selected. The effect that is disadvantageous to the user may be generated on the stadium part.

In the present embodiment, since the stadium part aims to obtain a reward by using the original character whose ability parameter is changed in the success part, the second effect generation unit 1172 is advantageous for the user to obtain the reward. It will cause a disadvantageous effect in the stadium part.

The "advantageous or disadvantageous effect of obtaining a reward" is an effect that makes it easier to obtain a reward or an effect that makes it difficult to obtain a reward. That is, it is an effect that the reward obtained is improved or an effect that the reward obtained is deteriorated.

The second effect generation unit 1172 may change the effect based on the parameters of the special effect character. The second effect generation unit 1172 changes the content of the effect based on the parameters of the special effect character. For example, the association between the parameter and the effect is stored in the data storage unit 3000. The second effect generation unit 1172 will generate the effect associated with the parameter. The parameter may be a rarity parameter or a level parameter. The second effect generation unit 1172 increases the score bonus as the rarity or level of the special effect character increases.

For example, the second effect generation unit 1172 may change the effect based on the number of original characters whose ability parameters are changed or set in the success part based on the special effect character. In this case, the association between the number of original characters trained by the special effect character and the effect is stored in the data storage unit 3000, and the second effect generation unit 1172 is set to the number of original characters trained by the special effect character. Produces an associated effect. For example, the second effect generation unit 1172 generates an effect that becomes more advantageous or disadvantageous as the number of original characters trained by the special effect character increases. That is, the second effect generation unit 1172 may make the effect in the stadium part stronger as the number of original characters trained by the special effect character increases.

[3-3. About the third technology]
In order to realize the third technique, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 includes a parameter changing unit 1022, a target selection unit 1050 to be used, a practice selection unit 1180, and a practice display control unit 1190.

As described above, in the success part, each of the plurality of ability parameters of the main character is changed or set. Further, in the success part, any one of a plurality of roles is set as the main character. The role is a role assigned in the game, and in the present embodiment, it is a position.

The practice selection unit 1180 selects one of a plurality of options associated with at least one of the plurality of ability parameters based on the user's first selection operation. The "first selection operation" is an operation in which the user selects an option, for example, an operation in which one of a plurality of options displayed on the display unit 15 is selected. In the present embodiment, each of the processing objects P921 to P926 corresponds to an option, and the operation of selecting any of the processing objects P921 to P926 corresponds to the first selection operation.

Each of the plurality of options is associated with at least one of the plurality of roles. In the present embodiment, the option indicating the practice of the fielder is associated with the role of the fielder, and the processing object indicating the practice of the pitcher is associated with the role of the pitcher. Then, the options associated with the role of the main character can be selected by the first selection operation. That is, when the role of the main character is a fielder, the processing object associated with the fielder can be selected, and when the role of the main character is a pitcher, the processing object associated with the pitcher can be selected.

The use target selection unit 1050 selects at least one of the plurality of event characters associated with at least one of the plurality of options based on the user's second selection operation. In the present embodiment, the association of good practice with the event character corresponds to the association of at least one of the options with the event character.

The parameter change unit 1022 changes the parameter associated with the option selected by the practice selection unit 1180 among the plurality of ability parameters. As mentioned above, each of the options has a capacity parameter that increases when the processing object is selected. Therefore, the parameter change unit 1022 increases the ability parameter associated with the selected option.

In the parameter change unit 1022, when the option selected by the practice selection unit 1180 is the option associated with the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050, the option selected by the practice selection unit 1180 is selected. The parameters associated with the options selected by the continuous selection unit are changed so that the user has an advantage in the game as compared with the case where the options are not associated with the event character selected by the target selection unit 1050. For example, the parameter change unit 1022 increases the amount of change in the ability parameter of the main character when a good practice associated with the event character set in the event deck is selected.

The practice display control unit 1190 executes control for displaying the option information regarding the options associated with the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050 on the display unit 15. The option information is an image, text, or the like for displaying the options on the display unit 15. In the present embodiment, each practice included in the processing objects P921 to P926 and the good practice area A346 corresponds to the option information.

In the practice display control unit 1190, a plurality of the plurality of event characters are selected by the use target selection unit 1050, and the options associated with each of the plurality of event characters selected by the use target selection unit 1050 are the same. In this case, the control for displaying the information indicating the number of the same options on the display unit 15 in association with the option information is executed.

"Information indicating the number of choices" is an image or text indicating a numerical value. In the present embodiment, the numerical value such as "x2" displayed in the good practice area A346 corresponds to "information indicating the number of choices".

"Displaying information indicating the number of options in association with the option information" means, for example, displaying the information indicating the number of options and the option information so as to partially overlap, and the information indicating the number of options and the options. Displaying the information so that the distance to the information is within a predetermined distance, and connecting the information indicating the number of options and the option information with an image such as a line. In the present embodiment, a numerical value such as "x2" is displayed so as to indicate the good practice displayed in the good practice area A346.

For example, the practice display control unit 1190 distinguishes the option information related to the options associated with the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050 from the option information related to the options other than the options to be displayed on the display unit 15. The meaning of "distinguishing display" that executes the control of is as described above.

For example, the practice display control unit 1190 displays the option information related to each of the plurality of options in an order determined based on the role associated with the option, and the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050. Control is performed for displaying the option information related to the options associated with the option and the option information related to the options other than the options separately on the display unit 15.

The "order determined based on the role" is the order in which the roles can be identified by the order, and the options associated with the first role are displayed side by side on the first side, and the options associated with the second role are displayed. Are displayed side by side on the second side. Here, the practice display control unit 1190 displays the fielder's practice side by side on the left side and the pitcher's practice side by side on the right side in the good practice area A346.

[3-4. About the fourth technology]
In order to realize the fourth technique, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 includes a first effect generation unit 1021, a scenario selection unit 1200, and a scenario change unit 1210.

The scenario selection unit 1200 selects one of a plurality of options related to the content of the game scenario based on the user's operation. The “choice regarding the content of the scenario” is an option for determining the content of the scenario, and in the present embodiment, is an option for the user to select the next section at the end of each section.

The scenario change unit 1210 changes the content of the game scenario based on the options selected by the scenario selection unit 1200. The scenario change unit 1210 advances the scenario selected by the user's operation among the plurality of types of scenarios in the success part.

The first effect generation unit 1021 may be the same as the contents described in the first technique and the second technique. However, in the third technique, the first effect generation unit 1021 generates a specific effect in the game corresponding to the specific event character when a specific event character is selected from the plurality of event characters. .. The specific event character here is an event character with which a specific effect is associated, and is an event character of a predetermined rarity. The specific effect may be a predetermined effect, for example, an effect that enables the main character to acquire a super special ability.

When a specific option is selected from a plurality of options by the scenario selection unit 1200, the first effect generation unit 1021 is on the game corresponding to the specific event character even if the specific event character is not selected. You may want to produce a particular effect. The "specific option" is an option for advancing to a predetermined scenario, for example, an option for advancing to a limited-time scenario. When the option for advancing to the limited-time scenario is selected, the first effect generation unit 1021 allows the main character to acquire super special abilities even if a specific event character is not incorporated in the event deck.

For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 may limit the occurrence of a specific effect other than a specific period, and may generate a specific effect within a specific period. Further, for example, the first effect generation unit 1021 restricts the scenario selection unit 1200 from selecting a specific option from a plurality of options other than the specific period, and the scenario selection unit 1200 limits the selection of a plurality of options within the specific period. It is also possible to allow a specific option to be selected from the options of. That is, it is not possible to select a scenario in which a super special ability can be acquired except during a specific period.

[3-5. About the fifth technology]
In order to realize the fifth technique, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 includes a first update unit 3020, a second update unit 3030, a result determination unit 3040, a game provision unit 3050, and a challenge letter display control unit 3060. include. It should be noted that the present technology relates to processing performed between a user terminal 10 of a certain user and a user terminal 10 of a friend thereof, and is premised on a configuration in which a plurality of user terminals 10 can access the server 30. ..

As described above, the second game execution unit 1170 executes the stadium part based on the original character associated with the user ID and other game objects. The other game object may be an original character associated with another user ID, or may be another game object. The other game objects are, for example, game characters prepared by the administrator of the game system 1.

The first update unit 3020 stores the first result information stored in the data storage unit 3000 that stores the first result information indicating the result stored in the stadium part by the first user identified by the first user ID. Update based on the user's gameplay. The second user stores the second result information stored in the data storage unit 3000 that stores the second result information indicating the result stored in the stadium part by the second user identified by the second update unit 3030 and the second user ID. Update based on the gameplay of.

The result is information indicating the content of the game or the quality of the result, and may be the progress of the game or the battle record. In this embodiment, the score obtained in the match in the stadium part corresponds to the result. When each of the first update unit 3020 and the second update unit 3030 receives the score acquired by the user in the game of the stadium part from the user terminal 10, the contents thereof are stored in the user table TBL301.

Based on the first result information and the second result information, the result determination unit 3040 starts from the first state in which the result of the second user is lower than the result of the first user, and the result of the second user is the result of the first user. It is determined whether or not the second state has changed to a higher state. The game providing unit 3050 is based on the original character associated with the first user ID and the original character associated with the second user ID when it is determined that the game has changed from the first state to the second state. Control is executed to provide the first user with the game to be executed. This game may be executed on a game object owned by each user, for example, a battle game.

For example, the game providing unit 3050 sets the original character associated with the first user ID, the original character associated with the second user ID, and the original character associated with the second user ID based on the operation performed by the first user while the notification is displayed. A game to be executed based on the above is provided to the first user.

"Providing a game to a user" means transmitting a game program to a user terminal 10 or permitting execution of the game. In addition, for example, it may be a process for encouraging the user to play a match.

When it is determined that the challenge letter display control unit 3060 has changed from the first state to the second state, the challenge letter display control unit 3060 gives a notification indicating that the game is provided by the game providing unit 3050 to the display unit corresponding to the first user. The control for displaying on 15 is executed. This notification may be performed in a predetermined format, for example, the processing object P160 is displayed on the display unit 15.

[4. Processing executed in game system 1]
43 to 66 are flow charts showing an example of processing executed in the game system 1. The processes shown in FIGS. 43 to 66 are executed by the control unit 11 operating according to the program stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 31 operating according to the program stored in the storage unit 32. In the embodiment, the functional block shown in FIG. 37 is realized by executing the process described below. The process described below ends when a predetermined operation for ending the game is input from the input unit 14.

As shown in FIG. 43, in the user terminal 10, when the control unit 11 activates the program stored in the storage unit 12, it requests the server 30 for the latest program or data (S1001). For example, the storage unit 12 stores the version of the game program, and the control unit 11 transmits the version.

When communication is performed from the user terminal 10 to the server 30, the user ID, IP address, unique identification information of the user terminal 10 or the like is transmitted to the server 30, and which user terminal 10 communicates with the server 30. It is possible to identify whether it is done. When the server 30 receives the user ID from the user terminal 10, the control unit 31 identifies the user ID from the communication content. When the server 30 receives the IP address or the unique identification information from the user terminal 10, the association between the IP address or the unique identification information and the user ID is stored in advance in the storage unit 32, and the control unit 31 tells the communication content. And the user ID is specified based on this association.

When the server 30 receives the request, the control unit 31 transmits the latest data stored in the storage unit 32 to the user terminal 10 together with the latest program if the program of the user terminal 10 is not the latest (S3001). .. The latest data here is, for example, data indicating a notification from the game provider to the user or data corresponding to the user ID in each table. In S3001, the control unit 31 compares the version received from the user terminal 10 with the latest program version stored in the storage unit 32. If the program of the user terminal 10 is the latest version, the control unit 31 does not transmit the program to the user terminal 10. Further, in S3001, the control unit 31 refers to the storage unit 32 and transmits various data associated with the user ID to the user terminal 10.

In the user terminal 10, when the control unit 11 receives the latest program or data, it stores it in the storage unit 12 (S1003). When the latest program is received, the control unit 11 temporarily ends this process and restarts the game based on the latest program.

The control unit 11 displays a predetermined notification screen image based on the data received from the server 30 (S1005), refers to the user table TBL301, and determines whether or not a challenge letter from a friend has arrived (S1007). ). In S1007, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the user ID is stored in the "challenge" field of the user table TBL301. When the user ID of the friend is stored, the control unit 11 determines that the challenge letter from the friend has arrived.

The control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the home screen image G100 (FIGS. 2 and 34) based on the determination result of S1007 (S1009). In S1009, when a challenge letter from a friend arrives, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the home screen image G100 (FIG. 34) including the processing object P170. It is assumed that the image data of each image displayed on the display unit 15 is stored in the storage unit 12 in advance. This point is the same thereafter.

The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the home screen image G100 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1011). In S1011, the display position of each processing object is stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 11 determines which processing object the position on the screen instructed by the input unit 14 corresponds to. It will be. This point is the same for the subsequent processing for determining the selection of the processing object or the like.

When the user selects the processing object P140 (S1011; P140), the process proceeds to FIG. 44, and the control unit 11 displays the processing objects P141 to P143 on the display unit 15 (S1013). The control unit 11 determines whether any of the processing objects P141 to P143 is selected based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1015).

When the user selects any of the processing objects P141 to P143 (S1015; Y), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the main character registration screen image G200 (FIG. 4) (S1017). The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the main character registration screen image G200 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1019).

When the user selects any of the processing objects P241 to P245 (S1019; P241 to P245), the control unit 11 executes a process of changing the registration information of the main character based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1019; P241 to P245). S1021). In S1021, the control unit 11 reflects the content input from the input unit 14 in the main character registration area A240. The input contents are temporarily stored in the storage unit 12.

On the other hand, when the user selects the processing object P250 (S1019; P250), the control unit 11 stores the registered contents of the main character in the original character table TBL304 (S1023), and the event deck setting screen image G300 (FIGS. 5 and 6). ) Is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1025). In S1025, the control unit 11 creates a new record in the original character table TBL304 stored in the storage unit 12, issues the original character ID, and stores the content displayed in the main character registration area A240 in the record. do. The original character ID may be issued so as not to be duplicated with the one already stored in the original character table TBL304.

In S1025, when the control unit 11 updates the original character table TBL304 of the storage unit 12, the control unit 11 transmits the updated data to the server 30. The control unit 31 of the server 30 stores the received data in the original character table TBL304 of the storage unit 32. Similarly, thereafter, when the control unit 11 updates each table stored in the storage unit 12, the updated data is transmitted to the server 30, and the control unit 31 updates the table of the storage unit 32. It will be. In this way, data consistency is maintained between the user terminal 10 and the server 30. The timing of data consistency is not limited to the time when the table is updated, and the data may be consistently maintained or the data may be consistent according to the user's operation. good.

Moving on to FIG. 45, the control unit 11 determines which processing object or setting frame is selected in the event deck setting screen image G300 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1027).

When the user selects the processing object P342 (S1027; P342), the control unit 11 changes the event deck name based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1029). In S1029, the control unit 11 reflects the content input from the input unit 14 in the area A341. The input contents are temporarily stored in the storage unit 12.

When the user selects the processing object P343 (S1027; P343), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the automatic setting menu screen image G700 (FIG. 11) (S1031). The control unit 11 determines whether any processing object is selected in the automatic setting menu screen image G700 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1033).

When the user selects the processing object P710 (S1033; P710), the control unit 11 automatically organizes the event deck for the pitcher and stores it in the event character table TBL302 (S1035). For example, the storage unit 12 stores the pitcher's automatic organization conditions, and in S1035, the control unit 11 stores the pitcher's automatic organization conditions, the data of each event character stored in the event character table TBL302, and the data of each event character. A predetermined number (here, 5) of event characters are selected based on. The control unit 11 stores the selected event character ID in the record in which the event deck name displayed in the area A341 of the event character table TBL302 is stored.

The automatic organization condition is, for example, a conditional expression or a mathematical formula for calculating an evaluation value indicating a priority to be incorporated in the event deck for each event character. For example, this formula may be set so that the higher the rarity or level, the higher the evaluation value, or the evaluation value is high when the pitcher's practice is good practice or when he / she has a predetermined bonus. You may decide to be. In S1035, the control unit 11 selects a predetermined number of event characters in descending order of evaluation value.

When the user selects the processing object P720 (S1033; P720), the control unit 11 automatically organizes the event deck for the fielder and stores it in the event character table TBL302 (S1037).

Based on the above, the bonus acquired at the current level is specified and displayed in the second area A420.

When the user selects the third tab T423 (S1041; T423), the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 and causes the display unit 15 to display the profile of the event character (S1057). In S1057, the control unit 11 identifies the profile indicated by the "profile" field of the record in which the event character ID indicated by the event character screen image G400 is stored and displays it in the second area A420.

On the other hand, returning to FIG. 45, when the user taps any of the setting frames A344-1 to A344-5 in S1027 (S1027; tap operation), the process proceeds to FIG. 47, and the control unit 11 displays the event character table TBL302. With reference to this, the event character change screen image G600 (FIGS. 9 and 31) is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1059).

In S1059, the control unit 11 refers to the event deck table TBL303 to identify the event character currently incorporated in the event deck, and the identified event character is said to be "in use" in the event character list area A640. Display it. Further, during the limited-time event, if the event character ID of the special effect character is stored in the event deck table TBL303, the special effect character superimposes and displays the score bonus in the event character list area A640. .. Further, the control unit 11 refers to the event deck table TBL303, identifies an event character other than the above, and displays the identified identified event character in the event character list area A640.

The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the event character change screen image G600 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1061). When the user selects the processing object P641 (S1061; P641), the control unit 11 updates the event deck table TBL303 so as to remove the event character tapped in S1027 from the event deck (S1063). In S1063, the control unit 11 deletes the event character ID of the event character tapped in S1027 from the event deck table TBL303.

When the user selects a processing object corresponding to the event character in the event character list area A640 (S1061; event character), the control unit 11 updates the event deck table TBL303 so as to incorporate the event character into the event deck. (S1065). In S1065, the control unit 11 deletes the event character ID of the event character tapped in S1027 from the event deck table TBL303, and transfers the event character ID of the event character indicated by the processing object selected by the user to the event deck table TBL303. Store.

When the user selects the processing object P650 (S1061; P650), the control unit 11 rearranges the event characters in the event character list area A640 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1067). In S1067, the user selects the display order condition from the input unit 14. Then, the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 and rearranges the event characters in the event character list area A640 based on the conditions selected by the user.

On the other hand, returning to FIG. 45, when the user selects the setting frame A345 in S1027 (S1027; A345), the process proceeds to FIG. 48, and the control unit 11 asks the server 30 for a candidate for a helper (S1069). The helper candidate is an event character set as the leader of another user.

When the server 30 receives the inquiry, the control unit 31 refers to the event character table TBL302 and transmits data regarding the event character set as the leader of another user to the user terminal 10 (S3003). In S3003, the control unit 31 transmits a predetermined number of data to the user terminal 10 among the records in which the user IDs other than the user ID that sent the inquiry are stored. The control unit 31 may randomly select a predetermined number of data, or may select the combination of the good practice of the event character to be a predetermined combination. That is, the control unit 31 may be selected so that the event characters that are candidates for the helper do not have the same good practice. Further, the control unit 31 may preferentially select the leader of the user's friend as a candidate for the helper. Further, if the user selects a friend's leader as a helper, a predetermined effect may occur in the success part. The effects of this are, for example, an increase in the amount of increase in experience points when a friend's leader chooses a good practice, an increase in the initial value of the leader's evaluation, and an increase in the probability that an event related to the leader will occur. And so on. That is, when the user selects a friend's leader as a helper, the user may have an effect in the success part that is more advantageous than when a non-friend's leader is selected as a helper.

When the user terminal 10 receives the data, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a list of candidates for the helper based on the received data (S1071), and the user is based on the input from the input unit 14. The helper selected by is set in the setting frame A345 (S1073). The event deck setting area A340 in this case is as shown in FIG. In S1073, the control unit 11 stores the event character ID of the helper selected by the user in the "event deck" field of the original character table TBL304.

On the other hand, returning to FIG. 45, when the user selects the processing object P350 in S1027 (S1027; P350), the process proceeds to FIG. 49, and the control unit 11 displays the opening image of the success part on the display unit 15. Later (S1075), the main command screen image G800 (FIG. 12) is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1077). The control unit 11 stores the initial values of the ability parameter, the physical strength parameter, the motivation parameter, the experience point point, and the evaluation from other characters of the main character in the original character table TBL304. These values may be fixed values or may vary randomly.

The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the main command screen image G800 (FIG. 12) based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1079). When the user selects the processing object P841 (S1079; P841), the process proceeds to FIG. 50, and the control unit 11 displays the practice screen image G900 (FIG. 13) on the display unit 15 (S1081). In S1081, the control unit 11 randomly determines which of the exercises indicated by each of the processing objects P921 to P926 the event character and other characters incorporated in the event deck participate in, and stores the determination result. Hold in part 12.

The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the practice screen image G900 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1083). When the user selects any of the processing objects P921 to P926 (S1083; P921 to P926), the control unit 11 displays the cursor object C927 so as to point to the selected processing object (S1085), and causes the experience point area. The display of the A930 and the game character area A940 is updated (S1087).

In S1087, the control unit 11 calculates the experience point points that increase when the practice of the processing object selected by the user is executed based on the mathematical formula described in the game program, and displays them in the experience point area A930. Let me. This formula defines the relationship between each practice and the types and gains of experience points that increase. Note that this relationship may be stored in the storage unit 12 as a table instead of a mathematical formula. For example, the control unit 11 acquires the type and increase value of the experience value points associated with the practice of the processing object selected by the user. Then, the control unit 11 refers to the determination result in S1081 to determine whether or not the event character who is good at practicing the processing object selected by the user participates in the practice, and if so, determines whether or not to participate in the practice. Increase the above-acquired increase value. This increase may be a fixed value or a variable value. For example, the control unit 11 may randomly determine the increase amount, or may increase the increase amount as the rarity or level parameter of the event character is higher. The control unit 11 displays the increase value calculated as described above in the experience point area A930, and displays the determination result in S1081 in the game character area A940.

The control unit 11 determines whether or not the processing object selected in S1083 has been selected again based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1089). When the user selects it again (S1089; Y), the control unit 11 increases the ability parameter of the main character by the increase value determined by S, and the event character and other characters who participated in the practice together. The original character table TBL304 is updated (S1091) so that the evaluation is increased by a predetermined value, and the practice result screen image G1000 (FIG. 14) and the event screen image G1100 (FIG. 15) are displayed on the display unit 15 (S1093).

In S1093, the control unit 11 displays the message area A1030 so as to indicate the increase value of the ability parameter of the main character and indicate the increase value of the evaluation parameter of the event character and other characters who participated in the practice together. The increase value of the evaluation parameter may be a fixed value or may be randomly changed. Further, the control unit 11 displays the dog character C1040 on the practice result screen image G1000 under a given probability, and gives the user a randomly determined game item. As described above, this probability may be predetermined in the storage unit 12, but if the notice screen image G1400 is displayed at the start of the section, the control unit 11 increases this probability. Further, the control unit 11 may update the user table TBL301 so that the game item is given at the time of S1093, or may update the user table TBL301 so that the game item is given at the end of the section. good.

Further, in S1093, the control unit 11 determines whether or not to generate a game event of the event character who participated in the practice together with a given probability. For example, the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302, identifies the game event of the event character who participated in the practice together, and determines whether or not to generate the specified game event under the above probability. It will be. The probability of occurrence may be different or the same for each game event. When the control unit 11 determines that a game event is to be generated, the event screen image G1100 is displayed on the display unit 15, and the original character table TBL304 is updated so that the parameters of the main character change (increase or decrease). The relationship between the game event, the type of changing parameter (ability parameter, physical strength parameter, motivation parameter, experience point point, at least one of evaluation parameter) and the amount of change seems to be stored in advance in the storage unit 12. It should be. The control unit 11 updates the original character table TBL304 so that the parameters of the type associated with the generated game event are changed by the amount of change.

Further, in S1093, if the control unit 11 is in the process of a limited-time scenario, whether or not to generate a game event for the main character to acquire the super special ability based on a given probability. decide. The control unit 11 may randomly generate this game event. When the control unit 11 decides to generate a game event, the event screen image G1100 is displayed on the display unit 15, and the original character table TBL304 is updated so that the main character acquires the super special ability.

In S1089, the control unit 11 may cause the main character to be injured when the practice fails under a given probability. In this case, the processes of S1091 and S1093 are not executed. For example, the control unit 11 determines the probability that the hero character will be injured based on the physical strength parameter of the hero character. When the hero character is injured, the control unit 11 displays a screen image indicating that the hero character is injured on the display unit 15, and the original character table so that the ability parameter of the hero character is lowered by a predetermined value. The TBL 304 may be updated.

If the event is not held for a limited time, the processing object P152 is not displayed. The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the home screen image G100 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1155).

When the user selects the processing object P151 (S1155; P151), the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL305 and starts a normal game based on the normal order. Hereinafter, a normal game will be played according to the flow of S2 to S14 described above, but here, a more specific description will be given.

The control unit 11 refers to the user table TBL301 to display a screen image showing information such as the league and ranking of the user on the display unit 15 (S1157), and when the user performs a predetermined operation, the server 30 is displayed. Request information on opponent candidates (S1159).

When the server 30 receives the request, the control unit 31 refers to the user table TBL301, selects a predetermined number of opponent candidates (S3005), and transmits the information of the selected opponent candidates to the user terminal 10. (S3007). In S3007, the control unit 31 selects a predetermined number (for example, five) of other users having the same strength as the user based on the user's rank, league, ranking, and the like. The other users selected here may be users who are not in a friendship. The control unit 31 refers to the user table TBL301 and the event character table TBL302, and transmits information such as the user name, rank, and event character set as the leader of the selected opponent candidate to the user terminal 10.

When the user terminal 10 receives the information on the opponent candidate, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image showing the opponent candidate (S1161). In this screen image, a plurality of opponent candidates are displayed so as to be selectable. The control unit 11 determines the opponent based on the operation of the user (S1163), and requests the order of the opponent (S1165). This request includes a user ID determined as an opponent.

When the server 30 receives the order request, the control unit 31 refers to the order table TBL305, acquires the order information of the user determined as the opponent, and transmits it to the user terminal 10 (S3009).

When the user terminal 10 receives the order information, the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL305 and displays a screen image showing the user's starting order and the opponent's starting order on the display unit 15. (S1167). In this screen image, the batting order, name, position, and rank of the original character of the starting order are displayed together with the team name.

The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1169). For example, it is assumed that the user can perform an operation for changing the order and an operation for confirming the order and determining the tone.

When the user performs an operation for changing the order (S1169; order change), the control unit 11 displays the normal order edit screen image G2200 on the display unit 15, and edits the order based on the input from the input unit 14. The process is executed (S1171), and the process returns to S1167. Since the processing of S1171 is the same as that of S1283 to S1293 described later, the description thereof will be omitted here.

When the user confirms the order and performs an operation for determining the condition (S1169; order confirmation), the process proceeds to FIG. 54, and the control unit 11 determines the condition of the starting order of the user and the opponent (S1173). .. In S1173, the control unit 11 randomly determines one of a plurality of stages of the tone of each original character in the starting order and holds it in the storage unit 12.

The control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the result of determining the tone in S1173 (S1175), and causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image for selecting a game item to be used in the game with reference to the user table TBL301. (S1177). In S1177, the control unit 11 will display the game items stored in the "item" field of the user table TBL301 in a selectable manner.

The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1179). For example, it is assumed that the user can perform an operation for selecting a game item, an operation for designating a progress method of the game, and an operation for starting the game. As a method of progressing the game, it is possible to specify either that the game progresses automatically or that the user operates the original character in a predetermined scene.

When the user performs an operation for selecting a game item (S1179; game item), the control unit 11 holds the game item selected by the user in the storage unit 12 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1181). ). When the user performs an operation for designating the progress method of the game (S1179; progress method), the control unit 11 holds information indicating the progress method specified by the user in the storage unit 12 (S1183).

When the user performs an operation to start the game (S1179; start of the game), the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 (S1185) so as to consume one game ticket, and starts the game (S1185). S1187). In S1187, the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so as to consume the game item selected by the user. Then, the control unit 11 advances the game based on the progress method specified by the user. When all the games are automatically advanced, the control unit 11 automatically advances from the start to the end of the game without any operation by the user. On the other hand, when the user operates the original character in a predetermined scene, the control unit 11 automatically advances the game and causes the user to operate the original character when the game reaches the predetermined scene. The scenes that can be operated by the user may be predetermined. Further, in the present embodiment, since the score obtained by the user's operation is larger, the scenes that the user can operate may be limited to a predetermined number of times or less. As the method of proceeding with the game itself, various known methods of proceeding with sports games may be applicable.

The control unit 11 calculates the score acquired by the user in the match based on the execution result of the match (S1189), and transmits the calculated score to the server 30 (S1119). For example, data showing the relationship between the content and result of the match and the increase / decrease in the score is stored in the storage unit 12, and in S1189, the control unit 11 determines the content of the match and the score increase / decrease associated with the result. , Calculate the score the user has earned in the match. This relationship is, for example, +1000 points if you win the match, -200 points if you concede, +2000 points if the original character operated by the user hits, and +100 points if the original character not operated by the user hits. It is stipulated as.

When the server 30 receives the score, the control unit 31 refers to the user table TBL301 to determine the ranking of the users (S3011), and determines whether or not the user has overtaken the score of the friend (S3013). In S3013, the control unit 31 may determine the ranking among all the users, or may determine the ranking in the league to which the user belongs. If the user does not update the highest score, the processes of S301 to S3017 may be omitted.

When it is determined that the player has overtaken (S3013; Y), the control unit 31 executes a process for sending a challenge letter to a friend (S3015). In S3015, the control unit 31 stores the user ID in the "challenge" field of the record corresponding to the friend in the user table TBL301.

The control unit 31 transmits the latest ranking of the user to the user terminal 10 (S3017). When the user overtakes the score of a friend, information indicating that the challenge letter has been sent is also transmitted to the user terminal 10, and that fact is displayed on the display unit 15 on the user terminal 10. ..

In S1339, the control unit 11 compares the base character held in the storage unit 12 with each event character stored in the event character table TBL302, and the user owns the same event character as the base character. Judge whether or not. When it is determined that the user owns the same event character as the base character, the control unit 11 has a probability of increasing the maximum level of the base character based on the rarity of the base character and the rarity of the event character. To calculate. As for this calculation method, as described above, the control unit 11 sets the probability to 100% if the event character same as the base character has the same or higher rarity as the base character, and is one step lower than the base character. If the rarity is, the probability is set to a value less than 100% (for example, 30%), and if the rarity is 2 levels or less of the base character, the probability is set to 0%. Further, the control unit 11 may calculate so that the larger the current increase amount of the highest level of the base character (that is, how much the increase is from the initial value of the highest level), the higher the probability. It may be calculated so that the higher the rarity of the base character, the lower the probability. Further, the control unit 11 refers to the "event deck" field of the original character table TBL304 to specify the number of original characters raised with the base character incorporated in the event deck, and the larger the number, the higher the probability. May be calculated so that Then, the control unit 11 displays the probability calculated for each event character that is the same as the base character in the material character selection screen image G1900. Since the event character different from the base character cannot increase the maximum level of the base character even if it is used as the material character, the control unit 11 does not calculate the probability for the event character different from the base character. , The probability is not displayed in the material character selection screen image G1900.

Can be easily grasped. That is, it is possible to easily grasp to what extent the desired effect can be obtained by changing the level parameter of the event character. In addition, by dividing the range of level parameters in stages, the user will strengthen the event character aiming at the next stage in order to obtain a more advantageous effect, and it will be easier for the user to set a goal.

In addition, since the effect associated with the range of the level parameter to which the value from the initial value to the current value of the level parameter of the event character belongs occurs, the effect that occurs at the present time and the effect that does not occur at the present time (increase the level parameter in the future) By distinguishing between (the effect that may occur) and the bonus detail screen image G500, these can be easily grasped. In addition, by displaying the bonus detail screen image G500 that distinguishes between the effect that occurs at the present time and the effect that does not occur at the present time, the level parameter of the event character is included in the range of a plurality of level parameters divided in stages. The range to which the current value of is belongs can be easily grasped.

Further, as in the present embodiment, by displaying the bonus detail screen image G500 when a predetermined operation is performed from the event character screen image G400, when the user wants to confirm, the level parameter of the event character and The correspondence with the effect can be displayed. If the correspondence information is displayed while the image for accepting the operation for selecting the base character is displayed, the level parameters and effects of the base character are displayed on the same screen when selecting the base character. You can check the relationship. As a result, the user can confirm the relationship between the level parameter of the base character and the effect without performing a screen switching operation for selecting the base character.

Further, in the material character selection screen image G1900, the condition information regarding the condition for permitting the level parameter of the event character to be the maximum level or higher can be seen, so that the user can see the condition information after grasping the condition. You can select a character. Therefore, the user can easily determine whether or not the selected base character and material character are a valid combination. Further, for example, the user can develop a hero character having a specific tendency by increasing the maximum level of the event character of a specific good practice.

Further, in the material character selection screen image G1900, when selecting a material character, it is possible to see whether or not the condition for increasing the maximum level of the base character can be satisfied (whether or not the same character), so that the user can see. Can select the material character, knowing if the highest level may increase. In addition, since it is easy for the user to grasp whether or not the material character meets the conditions for increasing the maximum level, an erroneous selection such that the material character is selected even though the maximum level cannot be increased is selected. It becomes easier to prevent. For example, in the material character selection screen image G1900, when the material character is selected, the probability for increasing the maximum level of the base character can be seen, so that the user can select the material character after grasping this probability. You can choose. Therefore, the user can strategically select the material character in consideration of the probability that the maximum level of the base character will increase.

Also, if the event character is incorporated into the event deck by displaying the event power on the event character screen image G400, how much effect will be generated in the development of the main character in the success part before starting the success part. Can be easily grasped.

In addition, by displaying the player ability on the event character screen image G400, it is easy to determine which event character should be selected to gain an advantage in winning the match during the success part before starting the success part. Can be grasped.

In addition, the strategy of the game can be enhanced by having the user consider whether to select an event character used in the game during the success part or an event character not used in the game during the success part.

[Summary of the second technology]
Also, if it is advantageous for the stadium part to execute the success part with the special effect character selected, such as during a limited-time event, the special effect character is not the event character currently built into the event deck. Since it is possible to give an incentive to select, it is possible to prevent the event character incorporated in the event deck from being fixed. Further, for example, since a score bonus is given to the original character by training using a special effect character in a limited-time event, it is possible to train with a sense of tension by training in a limited time. In addition, by limiting the period for which the score bonus is given, such as during a limited-time event, it is possible to suppress the development of an unlimited number of original characters, so the balance between strength and weakness among users can be kept within a certain range. It can be easy to keep. That is, if the period for which the score bonus is given is not limited, the user who owns the special effect character will continue to be in an advantageous state in terms of score, but such a state can be prevented by limiting the period. be able to. Also, in the limited-time event, it is not the original character used in the game but the special effect character that can give the score bonus to the original character, so it has an indirect effect on the game. As a result, it is possible to realize a game that has a deep gameplay and never gets tired of it.

Further, in the event deck setting screen image G300, the event character change screen image G600, etc., the information about the special effect character and the information about other event characters are distinguished, so that the user selects the event character to be incorporated in the event deck. At that time, it is possible to easily grasp which is the special effect character. This makes it easier for the user to consider the best event deck, including the slayer character and other event characters.

Further, in the limited-time order edit screen image G2300 of FIG. 30, the score bonus given to the original character of the order and the total value thereof are displayed. It is easy to know if a degree of score bonus can be obtained. Further, the user can easily consider whether to place an order by giving priority to the score bonus or to place an order by giving priority to the ability parameter.

Further, as in the event character change screen image G600 of FIG. 31, when the user selects an event character to be incorporated into the event deck, a score bonus to the main character by the special effect character is displayed, so which event character is used as the event deck. If you incorporate it into, you can easily understand what kind of effect will occur in the stadium part.

In addition, the effect generated in the success part may be changed based on the ability parameter or level parameter of the special effect character. In this case, the effect generated in the success part can be changed, and the success can be changed. It is possible to improve the interest of the part. For example, if the higher the ability parameter of a slayer character, the higher the effect that occurs in the success part, either incorporate a slayer character with a low score bonus but a high ability parameter into the event deck, or a slayer character with a high score bonus but a low ability parameter. Can be made to think about whether to incorporate in the event deck, and the fun of the success part can be improved. Furthermore, for example, if the higher the level parameter of the special effect character, the higher the effect generated in the success part, the special effect character should be strengthened intensively during the period of the limited-time event and then incorporated into the event deck, or the special effect character should be intentionally used. It is possible to make people think about whether to strengthen other event characters and incorporate them into the event deck without strengthening them, and it is possible to improve the fun of the success part. It can also motivate the user to change the parameters of the slayer character.

Further, as in the present embodiment, if an effect that is advantageous for obtaining a reward occurs in the stadium part, the user will select a special effect character in an attempt to obtain a large amount of reward, and thus motivates the user to select the special effect character. Can be made stronger.

In addition, since the effect in the stadium part changes based on the parameters of the special effect character, the effect generated in the stadium part can be changed, and the interest of the stadium part can be improved. It can also motivate the user to change the parameters of the slayer character.

Also, if the effect is changed based on the number of main character characters whose ability parameters are set based on the special effect character, the ability parameters of more main character characters are changed in the success part (more main character characters are succeeded). Can be motivated (cultivated in part).

In addition, by making it possible to select event characters owned by other users (friends) associated with the user, it is possible to change the ability parameters of the main character based on the success part and the event characters owned by other users. can. As a result, for example, even if the user does not have the special effect character, if another user has the special effect character, an advantageous effect can be obtained in the stadium part, and a cooperative relationship is built between the users. It can be a trigger. In addition, the user who holds the special effect character can be given an opportunity to show off to other users that he / she holds the special effect character. Further, by making the stadium part a battle game, the training of the main character by the special effect character can greatly affect the victory or defeat of the battle game, so that the special effect character can give a more competitive consciousness among the users. ..

[Summary of the third technology]
Further, according to the game system 1, in the good practice areas A346 and A1646, the good practice associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck is displayed, so while grasping which practice should be selected to be advantageous. You can select the event character (you can select the event character while knowing which practice the current event deck will be advantageous for). In addition, it becomes easy to understand what kind of event character should be incorporated into the event deck in order to train the main character so as to have the ability desired by the user.

Further, according to the game system 1, when the good practice associated with the plurality of event characters incorporated in the event deck is the same as each other, the information indicating the number is displayed in the good practice areas A346 and A1646 to display the information. Information on the special practice of the event deck can be easily visually recognized without significantly changing the mode. Also, if the good practice associated with multiple event characters incorporated in the event deck is the same, when the user selects that good practice, the ability parameter of the main character will greatly increase, so the effect that occurs in the current event deck It is also possible to easily grasp the degree.

Further, according to the game system 1, in the good practice areas A346 and A1646, the good practice associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck and the other good practice are displayed separately. Therefore, it is possible to easily visually recognize what kind of hero character can be trained in the current event deck.

Further, according to the game system 1, in the good practice areas A346 and A1646, the practice when the hero character is a fielder is displayed on the left side, and the practice when the hero character is a pitcher is displayed on the right side, and the role of the hero character to be trained is displayed. The practice is displayed in the order determined based on it. This makes it easier for the user to visually recognize what kind of role the main character can be trained in the current event deck.

[Summary of Fourth Technology]
Further, according to the game system 1, when the content of the scenario changes based on the options, if a specific option is selected, a specific effect occurs even if the specific event character is not selected. , A specific effect can be generated even if you do not have a specific event character.

Further, according to the game system 1, since a specific option occurs only in a specific period, the user can enjoy the same scenario a plurality of times. That is, even if the user plays through each section of the scenario, a specific option is generated at a specific period, so that new content can be played.

[Summary of Fifth Technology]
Further, according to the game system 1, when the achievement of another user exceeds the achievement of another user, a challenge letter is sent to provide a game in which the users compete against each other, thereby promoting competition among users. can do. Further, for example, by sending a challenge letter, it is possible to activate communication with a friend. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the psychological burden by playing against a user who has a friendship, instead of playing against an opponent who does not know at all. Further, for example, when a challenge letter arrives while the user is playing the game, it is possible to play a match close to real time, and the interest of the game can be improved. Furthermore, by sending a challenge letter when the result of one user exceeds the result of another user, the challenge letter will be sent from the user who has a relatively close result, and the users with similar abilities will have a sense of competition. It can be made easier to give.

Further, according to the game system 1, the user who receives the challenge letter can play against the original character owned by the user and the original character owned by the user who sent the challenge letter. Therefore, it is possible to give an incentive to make the original character owned by each user advantageous in the battle (for example, to train the original character, edit the order, etc.).

Further, according to the game system 1, the number of times the challenge letter is sent can be limited within a certain period. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the processing load of the server 30 due to the transmission of a large number of challenge letters. In addition, by limiting the notification of the challenge letter within a certain period of time, it is possible to avoid the confusion of receiving a large number of challenge letters for the user who received the challenge letter.

Further, according to the game system 1, the reward in the competitive game performed by receiving the challenge letter is a reward that can be advantageous to the result of the user. Therefore, it is possible to give the user who sent the challenge letter using the reward an opportunity to further compete.

[5. Modification example]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. It can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[5-1. Modification example regarding the first technology]
For example, in the embodiment, in order to increase the maximum level of the base character, synthesis with the same material character is a condition, but in order to increase the maximum level of the event character, a dedicated game item may be used. good. Further, the dedicated game item may be one or a combination of a plurality of game items. In the case of a combination of a plurality of game items, for example, when the user owns three game items A and two game items B, by consuming a total of five game items. , The highest level of the base character may be increased. In this case, the probability of increasing the maximum level may differ depending on the game item. For example, the higher the number of game items, the higher the probability, or the higher the rarity of the game item, the higher the probability.

Further, for example, in order to increase the maximum level of the base character, the number of original characters raised in the success part by setting this base character in the event deck may be a condition. For example, when the number of trained original characters is 3 or more, the maximum level may be increased by 1, and when the number is 5 or more, the maximum level may be increased by 2. That is, the higher the number of original characters trained in the success part by setting the base character in the event deck, the greater the number of increase at the highest level may be.

Further, for example, based on the rarity of each of the base character and the material character, the amount of increase in the maximum level may be changed instead of the probability that the maximum level of the base character is increased. In this case, for example, when the material character of "R" is used for the base character of "R", the maximum level is increased by "2", and the material character of "SR" is used for the base character of "R". When is used, the maximum level may be increased by "5". That is, the higher the rarity of the material character, the greater the amount of increase in the maximum level of the base character.

Further, for example, when strengthening a certain base character by using a plurality of material characters having the same name, a case of determining whether or not to increase the maximum level once for each material character has been described. For example, when strengthening by using two material characters with a probability of increasing the maximum level of "30%", a case of determining whether to increase the maximum level by 1 with a probability of 30% has been described twice. In this case, In addition, "30%" and "30%" may be added together, and it may be determined only once whether or not the maximum level increases by 1 with a probability of "60%".

[5-2. Modification example regarding the second technology]
For example, the slayer character may be incorporated into the event deck in addition to the score bonus in the stadium part so that the effect is generated on the development process of the main character in the success part, or the main character in the success part. The effect may be generated on the breeding result. For example, by incorporating a special effect character into the event deck, an effect that does not occur except during a specific period may occur during the success part, and at the end of the success part, a bonus of ability parameters is given to the main character. You may do so.

Also, for example, the period during which a specific effect occurs in the success part when a special effect character is incorporated into the event deck and the period during which the original character trained using the special effect character receives a score bonus may be the same. , May be different periods from each other.

Further, for example, the case where the score bonus is given at the end of the match at the limited-time event by training the original character using the special effect character has been described, but the effect may be obtained during the match at the limited-time event. For example, the ability parameter of the original character placed in the order may be increased, or the score of the team may be increased.

Further, for example, the case where the score bonus generated by using the special effect character is displayed in the event deck setting area A340 (FIG. 32) of the event deck setting screen image G300 (FIG. 5) has been described. The screen to be displayed is not limited to this, and may be displayed on any screen related to the event character corresponding to the special effect character. For example, the score bonus by the special effect character may be displayed on the event character screen image G400 (FIG. 7) of the special effect character. Similarly, the score bonus given to the original character may be displayed in the list of original characters.

Also, for example, we explained the case where a score bonus is given when the main character is trained with the special effect character incorporated in the event deck during the period of the limited-time event, but it is not a limited-time event and before that. When the main character is trained with the special effect character incorporated in the event deck, that is, even if the main character has already been trained, a score bonus may be given. That is, the main character may be trained with the special effect character incorporated in the event deck, and the training period may be earlier than the holding period of the limited-time event.

[5-3. Modification example regarding the third technology]
Further, for example, one of a plurality of good practice displayed in the good practice areas A346 and A1646 (FIGS. 6, 10, 22, 32) can be selected, and the event character having the good practice selected by the user is displayed on the display unit 15. It may be displayed in. In this way, the user can easily create an event deck to efficiently enhance the desired ability parameters. In this case, the practice display control unit 1190 identifies the practice selected by the user from the plurality of exercises based on the input from the input unit 14. Then, the practice display control unit 1190 refers to the event character table TBL302 and selects an event character who is good at the specified practice. The practice display control unit 1190 may display only the specified event character among the event characters owned by the user on the display unit 15. In addition, for example, the practice display control unit 1190 may display the event character whose practice selected by the user is good at the practice and the other event character separately.

Further, for example, any of a plurality of good practice displayed in the good practice areas A346 and A1646 (FIGS. 6, 10, 22, 32) can be selected, and the setting frames A3441-1 to A344-5 and A345 (FIG. 6) can be selected. , 10, 22, 32), among the event characters (that is, the event characters currently incorporated in the event deck), the event character having the good practice selected by the user is displayed on the display unit 15 so as to be identifiable. You may do it. In this way, for example, the user can easily identify the event character having a strong ability to be replaced, so that the desired event deck can be easily set. In this case, the practice display control unit 1190 identifies the practice selected by the user from the plurality of exercises based on the input from the input unit 14. Then, the practice display control unit 1190 refers to the event character table TBL302 and the event deck table TBL303, and identifies the good practice of the event character currently incorporated in the event deck. In addition, the practice display control unit 1190 may acquire the good practice of the helper from the server 30. The practice display control unit 1190 compares the practice selected by the user with the practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck, and displays the comparison result on the display unit 15. For example, the practice display control unit 1190 distinguishes between an event character whose practice selected by the user is good practice and an event character whose practice selected by the user is not good practice. The practice display control unit 1190 may differ in the display mode of the event character whose practice selected by the user is good practice and the event character whose practice selected by the user is not good practice. By changing the brightness, the distinction display may be performed. In this case, the display of the event character whose practice selected by the user is good practice may be displayed brightly, and the event character whose practice selected by the user is good practice may be displayed darker than that.

[5-4. Modification example regarding the fourth technology]
Further, for example, a time limit may be set for the main character that can be trained in the success part. In this case, it is assumed that the time information regarding the success part is stored in the "cultivation status" field of the original character table TBL304. This time is the start time of the success part, a predetermined time after the start time, or the deadline for playing the success part. The first game execution unit 1020 determines whether or not the time limit determined based on the time information has passed, and if it determines that the time has passed, the training of the main character is interrupted and the game is restarted. You can.

Further, for example, the section that can be selected by the user may differ depending on the event character incorporated in the event deck. In this case, it is assumed that the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like stores information indicating the relationship between each section and the event character that can be incorporated into the event deck. The first game execution unit 1020 refers to the event deck table TBL303, identifies a section that can be selected by the event character incorporated in the event deck, and executes the specified section in the success part. In this way, a particular event character gives rise to a particular choice, which can motivate the user to collect many types of event characters.

In addition, a particular combination of event characters and scenarios may result in certain choices when selecting the next section. In this case, if the combination of a particular event character and the scenario is a particular combination, then a particular choice arises when selecting the next section. In this way, the combination of a specific event character and the scenario causes a specific option, so that it is possible to provide the user with an opportunity to use many event characters.

Further, there may be a branch that occurs on condition that the event deck has a specific combination of event characters. That is, there may be a section that can be selected by the user when the event deck has a specific combination of event characters. In this case, it is assumed that the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like stores information indicating the relationship between a predetermined combination of event characters and information related to branching. The branching information is information indicating a section that can be selected by the user. The first game execution unit 1020 refers to the event deck table TBL303 and determines whether or not the combination of event characters incorporated in the event deck is a predetermined combination indicated by the above information. Then, when the first game execution unit 1020 determines that the combination is a predetermined combination, the first game execution unit 1020 generates a branch associated with the combination. In other words, the first game execution unit 1020 generates a branch that occurs only when the combination is predetermined, and advances the section selected by the user based on the input from the input unit 14. It should be noted that here, the section may be automatically selected without the user's selection. In this way, a combination of a plurality of specific event characters causes a specific option, which can motivate the user to collect many types of event characters. It should be noted that there may be a branch that occurs on condition that one specific event character is incorporated in the event deck instead of a combination of specific event characters. Further, a plurality of specific event characters may be prepared. That is, when "A", "B", and "C" are prepared as specific event characters, a predetermined branch may occur if only one of these is incorporated in the event deck.

Further, for example, a predetermined effect may be generated in the success part based on the combination of the section selected by the user and the event character incorporated in the event deck. In this case, it is assumed that the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like stores information indicating the relationship between each section, the event character, and the effect. The first effect generation unit 1021 refers to the event deck table TBL303 and determines whether or not the event character associated with the section being executed is incorporated in the event deck. When the first effect generation unit 1021 determines that it is incorporated, the first effect generation unit 1021 generates an effect associated with the section and the event character in the success part.

The effect may also occur in the success part, for example, based on a combination of sections currently or in the past selected by the user. In this case, it is assumed that the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like stores information indicating the relationship between the combination of sections and the effect. Further, it is assumed that the information indicating the section selected by the user is stored in the individual data storage unit 1000. The first effect generation unit 1021 decides to generate an effect in the success part associated with the combination of the section currently selected by the user and the past section, or the combination of a plurality of sections selected by the user in the past. Become. In other words, when a plurality of branches occur in the success part, the first effect generation unit 1021 generates a predetermined effect in the success part based on the combination of branches selected in the past by the user. May be good. For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 may generate a predetermined effect in the third section of the success part based on the combination of the first section and the second section selected by the user. May be good. In other words, the first effect generation unit 1021 may generate an effect in the success part that occurs only when the user selects a predetermined combination of branches. For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 produces an effect that occurs only when the combination of the first section and the second section selected by the user is a predetermined combination, as the third success part. It may be generated in the section.

Also, for example, the sections that can be selected thereafter may be changed based on the combination of sections that the user has selected now or in the past. In this case, it is assumed that the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like stores information indicating the relationship between the combination of sections and the selectable sections. Further, it is assumed that the information indicating the section selected by the user is stored in the data storage unit 100. The second game execution unit makes it possible to select only the sections associated with the combination of sections selected by the user among the sections existing in the success part. In this way, the combination of options causes a specific option, so that the user can be provided with an opportunity to try the combination of options. Therefore, it becomes possible to provide the user with a scenario that can be enjoyed multiple times.

[5-5. Modification example regarding the fifth technique]
Further, for example, in the embodiment, the case where the challenge letter is sent when the friend overtakes the score of the user has been described, but a predetermined privilege may be given to the user who has overtaken the score. And the privilege may be a privilege that makes it easier to overtake a friend who has overtaken the score. For example, a user whose score has been overtaken by a friend may be given a special effect character, a game item, or the like to make it easier to overtake the friend.

Also, for example, a case where a challenge letter is sent when a friend overtakes a user's score is described, but the challenge letter is sent based on whether or not the friend's score meets a preset condition. You may do it. For example, a challenge letter may be sent when the difference in score between the user and a friend is within a predetermined value, or a challenge letter may be sent when a friend makes a difference of more than a predetermined value from the user's score. May be sent. Similarly, a challenge letter may be sent when the difference in ranking between the user and a friend is within a predetermined value, or a challenge is sent when a friend makes a difference of more than a predetermined value from the user's ranking. A letter may be sent.

Further, for example, the case where the score of each user is reset at predetermined periods has been described, but the score does not have to be reset. Further, the timing at which the score is reset does not have to be the timing at which the predetermined period has elapsed. For example, the score may be reset when the user achieves a given goal.

Further, for example, the case where the high score of each user is competed in a predetermined period has been described, but the cumulative value of the score of each user may be competed. In this case, it may be the cumulative value of the score in the predetermined period, or it may be the cumulative value of the score in the entire past period.

Also, for example, not all of the user's friends may be the subject of the challenge. For example, only the friends specified by the user among the friends may be the target of the challenge letter. Further, for example, when a plurality of users form a team to play, only users of the same team may be the target of the challenge. Furthermore, only users who have applied for a match in the past or users who have applied for a match in the past may be the target of the challenge letter.

Further, for example, although the case where the challenge letter is automatically sent has been described, the challenge letter may be sent when the user performs a predetermined operation. In other words, instead of sending a challenge letter to the user immediately after a friend overtakes the user's score, the challenge letter is waited until the friend or user performs a predetermined operation. May be good.

Also, for example, the number of challenge letters that a user can send may be limited. For example, the number of times the challenge letter is sent may be limited, such as up to three times a day.

Further, for example, the reward of the match using the challenge letter and the reward of the normal match may be different. In this case, the match using the challenge letter may be rewarded better than the regular match. In addition, for example, if a configuration is provided in which a player can play against a friend without consuming a match ticket (here, referred to as a practice match), the reward such as a medal or a ticket may not be obtained in this practice match. However, a match using a challenge letter may be rewarded. In addition, if the structure is such that a reward can be obtained even in a practice game, the game using the challenge letter may be able to obtain a better reward than the reward of the practice game. On the contrary, the reward may not be obtained in the game using the challenge letter. Further, the difference in reward may be the difference in whether the reward is large or small, or the type of reward.

Also, for example, the challenge letter may be sent based on other than the score and ranking. For example, in the case of a game in which the user advances a plurality of stages, a challenge letter may be sent when a friend overtakes the stage in progress by the user.

[5-6. Other variants]
Further, for example, as described with reference to FIG. 3, when the user plays the success part, the event deck is set in the pre-part and the main part is started, but after that, the main part is played. The contents of the event deck may not be changed inside (the event character incorporated in the event deck cannot be changed or replaced). By doing so, it is possible to start the main part after carefully considering the training policy of the main character and the contents of the event deck, and it is possible to give a feeling of tension to the game. Conversely, the content of the event deck may be changeable in the main part. In this case, if the training of the main character does not go as expected in the main part, the contents of the event deck can be reviewed on the way and the trajectory of the training of the main character can be corrected.

Further, for example, the case where the user selects one to be incorporated into the event deck from a plurality of event characters has been given as an example, but only one event character may be used. In this case, the level change unit 1040 changes the level parameter of one event character. Then, the first effect generation unit 1021 will generate an effect on the success part regarding the change or setting of the ability parameter of the main character based on the level parameter of one event character. Further, the effect display control unit 1060 indicates the correspondence relationship between the level parameter of one event character and the effect generated by the first effect generation unit 1021 (for example, the bonus detailed screen image G500 in FIG. 8). Is to be displayed on the display unit 15. These processes are the same as those described in the embodiment except that there is only one event character.
