Description

The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method and a program.

There is known a game in which a character owned by a user is made to fight an enemy character to determine victory or defeat. In addition, by combining game cards that form a predetermined combination (combining game cards) among a plurality of owned cards owned by the user, the ability value (parameter) of the character corresponding to the combined game card is used. There is also a game that can change (Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent No. 5504369

In the game described in Patent Document 1, when synthesizing a plurality of characters owned by the user himself / herself, the user needs to select a plurality of characters to be synthesized by himself / herself, which is troublesome. Regarding this point, Patent Document 1 describes that a card composition process may be automatically executed for a card determined to be an unnecessary card, regardless of a user's operation input. However, since the game specifications of recent games are complicated, even if the function of automatically synthesizing characters (cards) is used, the user can set the characters to be synthesized and the characters not to be synthesized. It is thought that it is necessary to set various conditions depending on the intention. In addition, since it is considered necessary to change the conditions once set again according to the progress of the game, it is considered that the user has a lot of trouble.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a technique that makes it possible for a user to reduce the time and effort required to make settings related to synthesis.

The information processing device according to one aspect of the present invention can synthesize a storage unit that stores a game object owned by the user, a synthesis source game object that is a synthesis source designated by the user, and the synthesis source game object. If a predetermined condition is satisfied in the synthesis unit that performs the first composition with the material game object and the first composition performed by the composition unit, the material game object that can be synthesized with the composition source game object is newly given to the user. At that time, it has a display control unit for displaying a setting screen for setting a second composition between the composition source game object and the newly added material game object.

<System configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a system configuration of the game system 1 according to the present embodiment. The game system 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a game server 10 and a plurality of terminals 20. The game server 10 and the terminal 20 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via a communication network N such as the Internet, an intranet, a wireless LAN, or mobile communication.

The game server 10 is a device that has a part of the functions of the terminal 20 in providing the game, such as managing various information about the player and executing a part of the game. The game server 10 may be configured by one or a plurality of information processing devices and computers, or may be configured by using a virtual server (cloud server or the like).

The terminal 20 is an information processing device that provides a game to a player, and the player can execute the game according to the present embodiment by operating the terminal 20. The terminal 20 is, for example, a computer such as a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet, a personal computer, an arcade game device, or a consumer game device. The terminal 20 notifies the game server 10 of its own position detected by using GPS (Global Positioning System) or the like.

<Game overview>
Subsequently, an outline of the game provided by the game system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. In a game provided by the game system 1 (hereinafter referred to as "this game"), a player (may be referred to as a user) organizes a deck with a character selected from a plurality of owned characters. You can get new characters and items by clearing quests using the organized deck. The player can also obtain new characters and items by charging or the like.

Here, the quest is a term that means a task that can be cleared by satisfying a predetermined condition. Quests are also commonly referred to as explorations, challenges and missions.

Deck is a term that means a group that combines a plurality of characters. When executing a quest, the player selects a character having an ability suitable for clearing the quest, organizes a deck, and executes the quest. The game server 10 can store a plurality of decks organized by the player, and the player selects one deck from the plurality of stored decks and executes the quest at the time of executing the quest. Is also possible. In the present embodiment, the player executing the quest may be referred to as playing the quest.

The player who participated in the quest can clear the quest by satisfying the certain conditions, and when the quest is cleared, the player is rewarded and the story of this game progresses. Rewards include items, characters that can be used to organize decks, and so on.

By synthesizing characters and items owned by the player, the player can improve the character's stats or transition to another enhanced character. Here, characters and items may be referred to as "objects" or "game objects". Further, the status may be referred to as a "parameter". Further, the "transition" of one character to another character may be referred to as "changing", "mutating", "deriving", "evolving", "deifying", or the like. In the present embodiment, "synthesizing" means combining two game objects to create one game object, and applying another game object to one game object.

Combining is referred to as a character that is a synthesis source (base of synthesis) (hereinafter, referred to as "combination source character") and another character that can be synthesized with the synthesis source character (hereinafter, "material character"). ) Or an item (hereinafter referred to as "material item").

For example, when the player selects the character A as the composition source character and the character B as the material character, the status of the character A is changed (or transitions to another character), and the character B disappears. Similarly, when the player selects the character A as the composition source character and the item X as the material item, the status of the character A is changed (or transitions to another character), and the item X disappears.

When the synthesis source character transitions to another character by synthesis, the synthesis source character transitions to another character belonging to the same group as the synthesis source character. Here, the "group" means a group of characters composed of a character before the transition and a character after the transition.

The character after the transition may be expressed as a character having a different form from the character before the transition. That is, the "form" may mean the transition state of the character. For example, when the character before the transition is the character of the form A, the character after the transition may be expressed as "a character that has transitioned to the form B", "a character of the form B", or the like. Further, there may be a plurality of characters after the transition. For example, there may be a character that has transitioned to form C or form D.

Further, the character before the transition may be expressed as a base character, and the character after the transition may be expressed as a character that has transitioned from the base character or a character that has changed (or mutated, evolved, or deified) the base character. Further, the "group" may mean a group composed of a base character and a character whose base character has changed.

Character composition is performed by the player himself / herself by designating the composition source character and the material character (hereinafter referred to as "manual composition" or "first composition"), and composition according to preset conditions. There is a composition (hereinafter referred to as "automatic composition" or "second composition") performed by the game server 10 automatically selecting the original character and the material character. The screen for making settings related to automatic composition is called the "automatic setting screen". The automatic setting screen is a screen for displaying characters and the like, and is displayed when the player presses a predetermined button. The automatic setting screen may be referred to as a setting screen.

In this game, the game server 10 causes the player's terminal 20 to display an automatic setting screen when a predetermined condition is satisfied in the manual composition performed by the player. More specifically, the game server 10 causes the player to automatically synthesize by displaying the automatic setting screen on the terminal 20 at a timing when it is assumed that the player may set / change the automatic composition setting. Assists in smooth setting of.

<Functional block configuration>
(Game server)
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block configuration of the game server 10. The game server 10 includes a storage unit 100 and a game control unit 110. The storage unit 100 can be realized by using the storage device 12 included in the game server 10. Further, the game control unit 110 can be realized by the processor 11 of the game server 10 executing the program stored in the storage device 12. Further, the program can be stored in a storage medium. The storage medium in which the program is stored may be a non-transitory computer readable medium. The non-temporary storage medium is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a storage medium such as a USB memory or a CD-ROM.

The storage unit 100 stores the character setting DB 100a, the owned character management DB 100b, and the automatic composition setting DB 100c.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the character setting DB 100a, the owned character management DB 100b, and the automatic composition setting DB 100c.

The character setting DB 100a manages various settings related to the characters appearing in this game. The character setting DB 100a includes an identifier that uniquely identifies a character (character ID), an identifier that indicates the group to which the character belongs (group ID), an identifier that indicates the transition state of the character (form), and an upper limit value (maximum level) of the level. The upper limit of the rack (maximum rack), the upper limit of HP (hit points) (maximum HP), the upper limit of attack power (maximum attack power), and the upper limit of speed (maximum speed) are stored in association with each other.

The owned character management DB 100b stores a character owned by the player. The possessed character management DB 100b includes an identifier (player ID) that uniquely identifies the player who owns the character, an identifier (character ID) that uniquely identifies the character, and the current status (level, rack (luck)) of the character. HP (hit points), attack power, speed, etc.) are associated and stored. The owned character management DB 100b may be referred to as a character box for storing characters owned by the player.

The automatic composition setting DB 100c is a DB that stores setting values related to automatic composition set by each player. The automatic composition setting DB 100c has an identifier that uniquely identifies a player (player ID), an identifier that uniquely identifies a group of characters to be set (group ID), and a target for automatic composition when automatic composition is performed. When the information indicating the form of the composition source character (automatic composition setting) and the automatic setting screen are displayed on the player's terminal 20 by satisfying the predetermined conditions in the manual composition, the player performs on the automatic setting screen. The history of the set contents (auxiliary history) is associated and stored.

Here, "No" in the automatic composition setting indicates that the player has selected not to perform automatic composition on the automatic setting screen. Further, "to (form A)" in the automatic composition setting means that the player sets a character whose form is A as the composition source character among a plurality of characters included in the same group on the automatic setting screen. show. The same applies to "do (form B)" and "do (form C)".

"No history" in the auxiliary history indicates a state in which the automatic setting screen has never been displayed because the predetermined conditions have not been satisfied in the manual composition performed by the player with the character belonging to the same group ID as the composition source character. .. "Select not to select" indicates that the player has selected not to perform automatic composition on the automatic setting screen displayed by satisfying the predetermined conditions in the manual composition. "Select (form A)" is set so that the player automatically synthesizes the character whose form is A on the automatic setting screen displayed by satisfying the predetermined conditions in the manual composition. Show that. In the example of FIG. 4, "Select not to select" is recorded in the auxiliary history corresponding to the group G02, but this is displayed as a result of manual composition performed on the composition source character belonging to the group G02. On the automatic setting screen, it indicates that the player has selected not to perform automatic composition.

Returning to FIG. 3, the explanation will be continued. The game control unit 110 provides various functions necessary for executing this game. The game control unit 110 includes a synthesis unit 111 and a display control unit 112.

The compositing unit 111 manually synthesizes (first compositing) the compositing source character designated by the player and the compositing source character and the material character or material item (material game object) that can be synthesized.

When a predetermined condition is satisfied in the manual composition performed by the composition unit 111, the display control unit 112 newly assigns the composition source character and the material character or material item (material game object) that can be synthesized to the player. , Display the automatic setting screen for setting the automatic composition (second composition) between the composition source character and the newly added material character or material item (material game object).

(Terminal)
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block configuration of the terminal 20. The terminal 20 includes a storage unit 200, a communication unit 201, a UI (User Interface) unit 202, and a game control unit 203. The storage unit 200 can be realized by using the storage device 12 included in the terminal 20. Further, the communication unit 201, the UI unit 202, and the game control unit 203 can be realized by the processor 11 of the terminal 20 executing the program stored in the storage device 12. Further, the program can be stored in a storage medium. The storage medium in which the program is stored may be a non-temporary storage medium that can be read by a computer. The non-temporary storage medium is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a storage medium such as a USB memory or a CD-ROM.

The storage unit 200 stores game data necessary for the game control unit 203 to execute the game. The game data stores character image data, game scenarios, and the like.

The communication unit 201 has a function of performing various communications with the game server 10 using the communication IF 13.

The UI unit 202 has a process of receiving various inputs from the player and a function of displaying various game screens on the display. Further, the UI unit 202 displays the game screen on the output device 15 (display) of the terminal 20 according to the instruction of the game server 10.

The game control unit 203 provides various functions necessary for executing this game by cooperating with the game server 10. For example, the game control unit 203 provides a function of acquiring various information (icon image data, text data, etc.) for drawing on the game screen from the game server 10.

Regarding the functional block configuration described above, all or part of the synthesis unit 111 and the display control unit 112 included in the game server 10 may be provided in the game control unit 203 of the terminal 20.

<Processing procedure>
In the following explanation, when the source character and another character belonging to the same group as the source character are combined as the material character, the specific status (for example, rack (luck)) among the multiple statuses of the source character is improved. It shall be. Also, if you clear the quest in a deck that contains characters whose specific stats are above the specified value, it will be cleared compared to when you clear the quest in a deck that does not include characters whose specific stats are above the specified value. Occasionally the number of items available will increase. Also, if the value of the specific status is less than the specified value, the number of items that can be obtained at the time of clearing shall not change. Here, the predetermined value may be a specific value specified in advance. Further, "greater than or equal to the predetermined value" and "less than the predetermined value" may be replaced with "upper limit value" and "less than the upper limit value", respectively (the same applies to the explanation of each predetermined condition below). Further, the predetermined value or the upper limit value may be different for each character as shown in the character setting DB 100a (the same applies to the description of each predetermined condition below). It should be noted that the effect of the specific status is merely a premise for the following explanation, and the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, a specific stat may be a stat whose value has no effect on the execution of the quest.

Further, it is assumed that the characters belonging to the same group include the character of the form A which is the character before the state transition, the character of the form B and the character of the form C which are the characters after the state transition.

If the level of the synthesis source character is the maximum value, the synthesis source character belongs to the same group as the synthesis source character by synthesizing the synthesis source character with a special item or a special character as a material, and the status is higher. It shall be possible to transition to a character with an enhanced form.

In addition, the player shall be able to obtain one or more new characters at the end of the quest. The character obtained by the player is stored in the character box of the player (owned character management DB 100b) and added to the list of owned characters of the player. It is assumed that there is an upper limit to the size of the character box (the number of characters that the player can own).

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing procedure performed by the game server 10. When the compositing unit 111 receives a manual compositing instruction from the player, the compositing unit 111 synthesizes the material character or the material item with the compositing source character (S10). Subsequently, the display control unit 112 determines whether or not the manual composition performed by the composition unit 111 satisfies a predetermined condition (S11). If the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the process is terminated, and if the predetermined condition is satisfied, the automatic setting screen is displayed on the player terminal 20 (S12).

(Specific example of predetermined conditions)
Hereinafter, a plurality of specific examples of predetermined conditions will be described. The game server 10 may have all of these predetermined conditions, or may have only a part of them.

[Predetermined condition 1]
When the material character includes a specific material character (specific game object) set for each composition source character in the manual composition performed by the composition unit 111, the display control unit 112 satisfies a predetermined condition. It may be determined and the automatic setting screen may be displayed.

The specific material character may be a character belonging to the same group as the composition source character. That is, the specific material character may be a material character capable of improving a specific status (for example, rack (luck)) among a plurality of stats possessed by the composition source character when combined.

As mentioned above, in this game, if you clear a quest with a deck that contains a character whose specific stats are above a certain value, the number of items that can be obtained at the time of clearing will increase. Therefore, it is assumed that the player who manually synthesizes the composition source character and the specific material character then sets the automatic composition in order to improve the specific status of the composition source character to the upper limit value. According to the predetermined condition 1, the automatic setting screen is automatically displayed even if the player does not perform the operation of displaying the automatic setting screen by himself / herself, so that the time and effort of the player can be reduced.

[Predetermined condition 2]
The display control unit 112 causes the automatic setting screen to be displayed when the predetermined condition 1 is satisfied and when the specific material character described in the predetermined condition 1 is available at a specific event playable by the player. You may do it.

The specific event may be a quest that is preset in the game server 10 as a quest to be executed in the future (that is, a quest that the player can play in the future).

According to the predetermined condition 2, the automatic setting screen is automatically displayed when the predetermined condition 1 is satisfied and the specific material character used for the manual composition is a character that can be obtained in the future. It will be. This makes it possible to prevent the automatic setting screen from being unnecessarily displayed even though the material character is a character that cannot be obtained in the future.

[Predetermined condition 3]
In the manual composition performed by the composition unit 111, the display control unit 112 determines that a predetermined condition is satisfied when the value of the specific status whose value increases due to the composition increases among the plurality of statuses of the composition source character, and automatically. The setting screen may be displayed.

As mentioned above, in this game, if you clear a quest with a deck that contains a character whose specific stats are above a certain value, the number of items that can be obtained at the time of clearing will increase. Therefore, it is assumed that the player who has increased the specific status of the composition source character by manual composition sets the automatic composition in order to improve the specific status of the composition source character to a predetermined value or more. According to the predetermined condition 3, the automatic setting screen is automatically displayed even if the player does not perform the operation of displaying the automatic setting screen by himself / herself, so that the time and effort of the player can be reduced.

In the manual synthesis performed by the synthesis unit 111, the display control unit 112 further determines that the predetermined condition is not satisfied when the value of the specific status after the increase is equal to or higher than the predetermined value, and displays the automatic setting screen. You may not let it. If the value of the specific status is equal to or higher than the predetermined value, it is considered unnecessary to perform automatic composition. Therefore, by displaying the automatic setting screen, it is possible to suppress the player from feeling annoyed. ..

[Predetermined condition 4]
In the manual composition performed by the composition unit 111, the display control unit 112 determines that the number of material characters required for setting a specific status whose value increases due to composition among a plurality of statuses of the composition source character to a predetermined value is a character. If it is larger than the number of free areas in the box (the number of free areas in which the game object can be stored in the storage unit 100), it may be determined that a predetermined condition is satisfied and the automatic setting screen may be displayed.

In this game, if the number of material characters required to set the specific status of the composition source character to a predetermined value is larger than the number of free areas in the character box, the player can perform one manual composition of the composition source character. Unable to raise a particular status to a given value.

For example, it is assumed that when one material character is combined with the composition source character, the specific status is increased by 1. Further, it is assumed that the current specific status is 1 and the upper limit of the specific status is 30. That is, the player needs to synthesize the synthesis source character and 29 material characters in order to set the specific status of the synthesis source character to a predetermined value. If the free area of the character box is 10, the player can only own up to 10 material characters, so in one manual composition, the specific status of the composition source character can be up to 11 Can only be raised. In such a case, the player sets automatic composition and repeatedly clears the quest to collect material characters until the specific status of the composition source character reaches the upper limit, or repeats the lottery (gacha) to win the character. It is assumed that the material characters will be collected by doing this. Therefore, according to the predetermined condition 4, the automatic setting screen is automatically displayed even if the player does not perform the operation of displaying the automatic setting screen by himself / herself, so that the time and effort of the player can be reduced.

[Predetermined condition 5]
The display control unit 112 displays a screen for accepting selection of which character belongs to the group of the composition source characters in the composition performed by the composition unit 111 for the composition source character in the composition setting screen. It may be displayed in.

Specifically, on the automatic composition screen, one of "Yes (form A)", "Yes (form B)", "Yes (form C)", and "No" can be selected as the setting for automatic composition. It may be possible. Further, the form of the character that the player does not possess may be displayed so as to be distinguishable from the character possessed by the player, and selection may be impossible.

This allows the player to easily select the composition source character when setting the automatic composition.

If any of "Yes (Form A)", "Yes (Form B)", and "Yes (Form C)" is set on the automatic composition screen, when the player obtains a new character at the end of the quest. , The obtained character may not be stored in the character box, but may be directly and automatically synthesized with the synthesis source character. Therefore, the "automatic composition" is a process of synthesizing a character given to a player without associating it with the player (in other words, a process of synthesizing a newly obtained character by the player before storing it in the character box of the player. ) May be expressed.

[Predetermined condition 6]
The display control unit 112 determines that a predetermined condition is satisfied when the composition source character transitions to another character belonging to the same group as the composition source character in the manual composition performed by the composition unit 111, and the automatic setting screen. May be displayed. That is, the display control unit 112 may display the automatic setting screen when the composition source character transitions to the character of the form B or the character of the form C as a result of the manual composition. As described above, on the automatic composition screen, one of "Yes (form A)", "Yes (form B)", "Yes (form C)", and "No" can be selected as the setting for automatic composition. May be. In this case, if the player shifts the character of the form A to the form B while the player has selected "(form A)" in the past on the automatic composition screen, the player opens the automatic composition screen by himself / herself. Therefore, unless the automatic composition setting is changed to "(form B)", the character transitioned to the form B cannot be automatically synthesized as the composition source character. That is, according to the predetermined condition 5, the automatic setting screen is automatically displayed even if the player does not perform the operation of displaying the automatic setting screen by himself / herself, so that the time and effort of the player can be reduced.

Further, the display control unit 112 is a case where the composition source character transitions to another character belonging to the same group as the composition source character in the manual composition performed by the composition unit 111, and before the manual composition. If the player does not have the same character as the other character after the transition, it may be determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied and the automatic setting screen may be displayed. That is, as a result of manual composition, the display control unit 112 transitions the composition source character to the character of form B (or form C), and before the player performs manual composition, the form B (or form C) ) May be displayed when the character is not possessed. If one or more characters of Form B (or Form C) are already possessed before the manual composition, the player may have already set the automatic composition. Therefore, the player can display the automatic setting screen only at the timing when the automatic composition setting is expected to be changed.

Further, the display control unit 112 is a case where the composition source character transitions to another character belonging to the same group as the composition source character in the manual composition performed by the composition unit 111, and after the manual composition. If the player does not have the same character as the composition source character before the transition, it may be determined that a predetermined condition is satisfied and the automatic setting screen may be displayed. That is, in the display control unit 112, as a result of the manual composition, the composition source character (form A) transitions to the character of the form B (or the character of the form C), and after the player performs the manual composition, the form If you do not have any of the characters A, you may display the automatic setting screen. It is assumed that two or more characters of the form A are possessed and the form A is set as the composition source character in the automatic composition. In this state, if the player transitions one of the two or more characters to the form B or C by manual composition, it is assumed that the player does not want to change the composition source character from the form A. To. Therefore, the player can display the automatic setting screen only at the timing when the automatic composition setting is expected to be changed.

[Predetermined condition 7]
If any character belonging to the group of the synthesis source characters in the automatic synthesis performed by the synthesis unit 111 is already set as the synthesis source character on the automatic setting screen, the display control unit 112 must satisfy the predetermined condition. It may be determined and the automatic setting screen may not be displayed.

For example, when the automatic setting screen is displayed on the screen of the terminal 20 because the predetermined condition is satisfied as a result of manual composition for the composition source character A, or when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the automatic setting screen is displayed. When the player displays the automatic setting screen for character A by himself / herself in a state where the predetermined condition is not satisfied instead of displaying the setting screen, the player makes a setting to "do not" perform automatic composition on the automatic setting screen. Suppose. After that, it is assumed that the player manually synthesizes the character B belonging to the same group as the synthesis source character A. In this case, the display control unit 112 determines that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, and prevents the terminal 20 from displaying the automatic composition screen.

According to the predetermined condition 7, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling annoyed because the setting screen is displayed again even though the automatic composition has already been set.

[Predetermined condition 8]
In the past, the display control unit 112 has been set to perform automatic composition or not to perform automatic composition on the automatic setting screen for the group of the composition source characters in the manual composition performed by the composition unit 111. If this is the case, it may be determined that the predetermined conditions are not satisfied, and the automatic setting screen may not be displayed.

For example, when the automatic setting screen is displayed on the screen of the terminal 20 as a result of performing manual composition on the composition source character A, or when the player himself displays the automatic setting screen for the character A. In the case of displaying, it is assumed that the player has made some settings related to automatic composition (that is, either "Yes" or "No") on the automatic setting screen. After that, it is assumed that the player manually synthesizes the character B belonging to the same group as the synthesis source character A. In this case, the display control unit 112 determines that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, and prevents the terminal 20 from displaying the automatic composition screen.

According to the predetermined condition 8, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling annoyed because the setting screen is displayed again even though the setting related to the automatic composition (automatic composition is performed / not performed) has already been set. Will be possible.

[Predetermined condition 9]
The display control unit 112 is a composition source in the composition performed by the composition unit 111 when the setting is made not to perform the automatic composition on the automatic setting screen displayed because the predetermined condition is satisfied in the past. When a character is included in a character belonging to a group of characters for which the automatic composition is not set, it may be determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied and the automatic setting screen may not be displayed.

For example, as a result of performing manual composition on the composition source character A, the automatic setting screen is displayed on the screen of the terminal 20 when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and the player is set to "do not" perform automatic composition. Suppose. After that, it is assumed that the player manually synthesizes the character B belonging to the same group as the synthesis source character A.

In this case, the display control unit 112 searches for the presence or absence of the history in which the player has selected "No" for the group to which the character B belongs by referring to the "auxiliary history" column of the automatic composition setting DB 100c. If there is a history in which the player has selected "No", the display control unit 112 prevents the terminal 20 from displaying the automatic composition screen. On the other hand, if there is no history in which the player has selected "No", the display control unit 112 displays the automatic composition screen on the terminal 20 when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when any of the predetermined conditions 1 to 6 is satisfied). Display it.

According to the predetermined condition 9, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling annoyed because the setting screen is displayed again even though it has already been set not to perform automatic composition.

[Predetermined condition 10]
The display control unit 112 has never reached a predetermined value of a specific status whose value is increased by synthesis among a plurality of stats of a character owned by the player or owned in the past. In that case, it may be determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, and the automatic setting screen may not be displayed.

According to the predetermined condition 10, when the player is not interested in making the value of the specific status reach the predetermined value by synthesis, the setting screen is not displayed, thereby suppressing the player from feeling annoyed. Will be possible.

<Screen display example>
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of screen transition to the automatic composition screen (No. 1).

Button B13 to select
A button B14 for selecting the character of the form C is displayed. When the player selects any one of the buttons B11 to B14 and presses the button B15, the automatic composition setting is completed and the screen A102 is displayed.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of screen transition to the automatic composition screen (No. 2). FIG. 8 shows an example of screen transition when the automatic composition screen is displayed when the above-mentioned “predetermined condition 1” is satisfied. It should be noted that the same character as the composition source character is assumed to be a specific material character under "predetermined condition 1".

On the manual composition screen A200, the player selects the character Q (C200) as the composition source character, and selects the material character V (C201), the material character Q (C202), and the material character Y (C203) as the material characters. do. When the composition start button B20 is pressed, the material character Q (C201), the material character X (C202), and the material character Y (C203) are combined with the composition source character Q (C200), and the composition result screen A201 is displayed. .. Here, in the manual composition screen A200, the same character Q as the composition source character Q is included in the material characters. That is, a specific material character is included in the material character. Therefore, when the button B21 is pressed on the synthesis result screen A201, the display control unit 112 determines that the predetermined condition 1 is satisfied, and displays the automatic setting screen A202.

In the area W202 of the automatic setting screen A202, a button B22 for selecting not to automatically synthesize, a button B23 for selecting the composition source character to be the character of the form A among the characters belonging to the same group as the character Q, and the form. Button B24, which selects to be the character of B,
A button B25 that selects the character of the form C is displayed. When the player selects any one of the buttons B22 to B25 and presses the button B26, the automatic composition setting is completed. That is, according to FIG. 8, the automatic setting screen is automatically displayed even if the player does not perform the operation of opening the automatic setting screen by himself / herself as shown in FIG. 7.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of screen transition to the automatic composition screen (No. 3). FIG. 9 shows an example of screen transition when the automatic composition screen is displayed when the above-mentioned “predetermined condition 6” is satisfied.

On the manual composition screen A200, it is assumed that the player selects the character Q (C300) as the composition source character and selects the character X (C301) and the character Y (C302) as the material characters. On the manual composition screen A200, it is displayed that the composition source character Q (C300) transitions (deified) to the character R (C303) as a result of the manual composition. When the button B30 is pressed, the screen A301 is displayed, and the image and status of the character R deified by the character Q are displayed.

Here, the display control is performed because the composition source character Q has transitioned to the character R (that is, the composition source character has transitioned to another character belonging to the same group as the composition source character) due to the manual composition. Unit 112 determines that the predetermined condition 6 is satisfied, and displays the automatic setting screen A302. Since the buttons B31 to B35 of the automatic setting screen A302 are the same as the buttons B22 to B26 of the automatic setting screen A202 shown in FIG. 8, the description thereof will be omitted. According to FIG. 9, the automatic setting screen is automatically displayed even if the player does not perform the operation of opening the automatic setting screen by himself / herself as shown in FIG. 7.
