[Embodiment]
A game system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. FIG. The game system 1 includes a server device 2 and a game device 3, as shown in FIG. It should be noted that the control means and processing procedures described below are examples, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these. The processing procedure and the like can be appropriately changed in design without changing the gist of the present invention.

<Description of the game>
A predetermined game that can be executed on the game device 3 is provided by the server device 2 . Specifically, in the game device 3, a game including a plurality of stages (hereinafter referred to as “quests”) that progresses by the user operating a player character in the virtual game space via the touch pad 350 is executed. .

In this embodiment, the game executed on the game device 3 includes a quest part in which a player character operated by the user subjugates a monster, which is an enemy character. For example, in one quest in the game, if the player character subjugates a monster within the time limit, the clear condition of the quest is satisfied. This quest progresses as the user operates the touch pad 350 .

In addition to the quest part, this game has a medium lottery part (gacha part). In this gacha part, a gacha for selecting game media (for example, characters and items) to be given to the user is executed based on the user's operation (gacha request).

In this embodiment, the game media selected by Gacha are characters. In addition, each character assigned to the user has physical strength, skill, and rarity as parameters. In this embodiment, there are four types of rarities set for characters: normal, rare, extremely rare, and super rare. One rarity is set for each character.

Note that the gacha is executed when the server device 2 receives information indicating that stones, which are virtual value media in the game, will be consumed (when the user makes a gacha request).

Then, when the gacha is executed, one of the characters stored in the gacha table is selected. The selected character (information about the winning character) is associated with the user (user identification information).

Hereinafter, associating a winning character with a user and transmitting information about the winning character associated with the user to the user's game device 3 may be referred to as "giving the winning character to the user."

The above description is for the normal gacha process, but a part of it is also performed in the unlimited gacha process within a time limit, which will be described later.

Further, according to the game system 1, it is also possible to execute the unlimited gacha process within a time limit of the present invention. In the limited-time gacha process of the present embodiment, a time limit for executing the gacha (gacha request is permitted) is set in advance. The user can request the gacha any number of times within the time limit of 30 minutes, for example. The details of the time limit gacha process will be described later.

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

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

When the game device 3 communicates with the server device 2 via the communication network 4, the game device 3 transmits user identification information. The transmitted user identification information undergoes predetermined authentication in the server device 2 . This enables communication between the server device 2 and the game device 3 .

Also, the user is given a game account when playing the game. A game account is managed as game account information.

<Hardware Configuration of Server Apparatus 2>
The server device 2 includes a control unit 20, a storage unit 21, and a network interface 22, as shown in FIG.

Storage unit 21 and network interface 22 are connected to control unit 20 of server device 2 via bus 29 .

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

The storage unit 21 mainly includes an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a RAM (Rando
RAM (Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), and SSD (Solid State Drive).

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

Network interface 22 is connected to communication network 4 to transmit and receive data between server device 2 and game device 3 .

<Functional Configuration of Control Unit 20 of Server Device 2>
As shown in FIG. 1, the control unit 20 of the server device 2 functions as collation means 201, medium lottery execution means 202, timer management means 203, and communication means 204 by executing the computer program of the present invention.

<Explanation of collation means 201>
The verification means 201 uses the user's identification information transmitted from the game device 3 to authenticate the user account.

<Description of medium lottery executing means 202>
The medium lottery executing means 202 executes normal gacha processing upon receiving gacha request information, which will be described later, from the game device 3 via the communication means 204 .

Specifically, when a gacha request for a normal gacha process is made, the medium lottery executing means 202 selects a character from a gacha table storing a plurality of types of characters each having a plurality of parameters, and selects a character from the gacha table. Generate information about a character.

Note that when the user requests a gacha (when the "gacha!" button 341 in FIG. 2 is touched), the medium lottery executing means 202 selects one character for one gacha request by the user. do.

Note that the medium lottery executing means 202 executes the normal gacha process after receiving the user's operation to consume the necessary amount (10) of stones for the gacha request based on the normal gacha process.

In addition, the medium lottery executing means 202 cancels the association of the stones associated with the user after receiving the user's operation to consume the necessary amount (10) of stones for the gacha request ( User-owned stone is consumed).

In FIG. 3, an acquisition effect is provided when the winning character, which is the result of a single-shot gacha based on normal gacha processing, is a predetermined character (for example, a character not owned by the user). Specifically, in the example of the win effect shown in FIG. 3, the message box 342 displays a text stating "Oh! This is...!!" It suggests.

When the acquisition effect is performed, the medium lottery executing means 202 compares the character owned by the user and the winning character stored in the storage unit 21, and determines that the winning character is a character not owned by the user. In this case, information about the obtained effect is generated. This information is transmitted to the game device 3, and an acquisition effect as shown in FIG. 3 is performed. This acquisition effect is, for example, a moving image displayed for 3 seconds.

Also, the medium lottery executing means 202 associates the winning character with the user. Information about the winning character associated with the user is transmitted to the game device 3 via the communication means 204 . As a result, the winning character is given to the user.

In addition, the medium lottery executing means 202 generates information for displaying the result of the gacha in the frame 344 as shown in FIG. The winning character in this example is the character 23 of water attribute and extremely rare. Although FIG. 5 is an example of a game screen in an unlimited-time-limited gacha process, which will be described later, a frame 344 is similarly displayed in a normal gacha process, and a winning character is displayed in the frame 344 .

The above is the description of the normal gacha process. The time limit gacha processing of the present invention will be described below.

The medium lottery execution means 202 indicates that a timer management means 203, which will be described later, has started the countdown of the time limit when a predetermined game condition is satisfied (for example, when an unlimited gacha event within a time period occurs in the game). Based on the information received, start unlimited gacha processing within the time limit.

Then, the medium lottery executing means 202 permits the user's request for the gacha for the unlimited gacha process within the limited time period (30 minutes) after the start of the unlimited gacha event. Specifically, the medium lottery executing means 202 generates information for displaying the “unlimited gacha!” button 343 on the liquid crystal screen 340 as shown in FIG. and transmitted to the game device 3 via the communication means 204 .

In the present embodiment, 200 stones are required for the user to request a gacha based on the unlimited gacha processing within a limited time. That is, when the unlimited gacha event within time is being executed, the user can request the unlimited gacha within time by consuming 200 stones.

When the gacha is executed based on the unlimited gacha process within a limited time, the results of the gacha are displayed in the same way as in the normal gacha process. Information is generated for displaying a “Gacha again!” button 345 on the screen 340 .

When the user touches the "gacha again!" button 345, the medium lottery executing means 202 executes the gacha again, ).

Note that, unlike normal gacha processing, pre-grant characters are not immediately granted to the user in time limit gacha processing. That is, in the limited-time unlimited gacha process, the pre-grant character is temporarily stored in the storage unit 21 as a provisional winning character. In this way, in the limited-time gacha process, the pre-applied character is not directly associated with the user (no association processing is performed) until the time limit elapses, and provisional association processing with the user is performed.

This "Gacha again!" button 345 is displayed any number of times within the time limit (30 minutes) after the information on the pre-granted character is generated. It should be noted that the user can interrupt the limited time limit gacha process by not touching the ``gacha again!'' button 345 but by touching a ``return'' button (not shown). In addition, the user can restart the unlimited gacha process within a limited time by touching a "return to unlimited gacha" button (not shown).

In addition, the medium lottery executing means 202 generates an advantageous situation for the user when a predetermined condition is satisfied during execution of the gacha in the limited-time gacha process.

In this embodiment, the predetermined condition is that a character owned by the user is selected as the pre-grant character. Whether or not the pre-grant character is a user-owned character is determined by the medium lottery execution means 202 comparing the user-owned character stored in the storage unit 21 with the pre-grant character. be done.

Also, an advantageous situation is that the acquisition effect of the pre-grant character is skipped (the acquisition effect of FIG. 3 is not displayed). As described above, the acquisition effect is a video that is displayed for 3 seconds. , the user can secure 3 seconds more time to request a re-gacha.

Then, when 30 minutes have passed since the permission of the gacha request for unlimited gacha processing within the time limit was started, based on the fact that information to the effect that 30 minutes, which is the time limit, has passed from the time management means 203 is received. Then, the medium lottery executing means 202 ends permitting the gacha request based on the unlimited gacha process within the time limit.

In addition, the medium lottery execution means 202 determines at least one of the pre-granted characters that have undergone a temporary association process and is determined before the lapse of 30 minutes, which is the time limit for the unlimited gacha process within the time limit, Execute association processing for directly assigning to the user.

Specifically, the medium lottery executing means 202 receives information about the designation operation from the medium lottery requesting means 302, which will be described later, and then selects up to 10 characters selected by the user from the pre-granted characters that have undergone provisional association processing. An association process is executed to directly give the selected character to the user. When the number of pre-granted characters within the time limit is 10 or less, all pre-granted characters are granted to the user as selected characters without being based on the user's operation. After that, the medium lottery executing means 202 terminates the limited-time gacha process.

<Description of Timer Management Means 203>
The timer management means 203 starts counting down the remaining time of the time limit after the unlimited gacha event within time limit is started (request for gacha based on unlimited time limit gacha processing is permitted). When information indicating that the countdown of the remaining time has started is sent to the medium lottery execution means 202, the medium lottery execution means 202 starts unlimited gacha processing within time limit.

Further, when the time limit of 30 minutes has passed, the timer management means 203 transmits a signal to the effect that the remaining time has reached 0 (zero) to the medium lottery execution means 202 . The medium executing means 202 terminates the time limit gacha process based on the reception of this signal.

<Description of Communication Means 204>
Communication means 204 transmits and receives user identification information, game programs, game account information, and game data such as charged items to and from game device 3 .

The communication means 204 also receives gacha request information from the game device 3 . Gacha request information received by communication means 204 is transmitted to medium lottery execution means 202 .

<Description of unlimited gacha processing within time>
Hereinafter, the limited-time gacha processing of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

First, the medium lottery requesting means 302 of the game device 3 makes a gacha request for unlimited gacha within a limited time based on the user's operation (step S1). As a result, the gacha request information regarding the unlimited gacha within a limited time is transmitted to the server device 2 via the communication means 303 .

Next, the medium lottery executing means 202 of the server device 2 that has received the gacha request information regarding the unlimited gacha within time determines whether or not the gacha request is a re-gacha request (step S2).

If it is determined that the gacha request is a re-gacha request (S2: YES), the process proceeds to step S4, which will be described later.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the gacha request is not a re-gacha request (S2: NO), the medium lottery execution means 202 selects 200 stones required for the unlimited gacha within the time limit among the stones owned by the user. is consumed (step S3).

Next, the medium lottery executing means 202 executes gacha based on the gacha table (step S4).

By executing the gacha, one character is selected from the gacha table and a pre-grant character is determined (step S5).

Next, the medium lottery executing means 202 determines whether or not the pre-grant character is a character owned by the user (step S6).

If the pre-grant character is a character owned by the user (S6: YES), the character acquisition effect is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S8, which will be described later.

On the other hand, if the pre-grant character is not a character owned by the user (S6: NO), the medium lottery executing means 202 displays a character acquisition effect (step S7).

Next, the timer management means 203 determines whether or not the remaining time of the time limit has reached 0 (zero) (step S8).

If the remaining time is greater than 0 (zero) (S8: NO), the medium lottery executing means 202 generates information for displaying the "gacha again!" button 345, and the process returns to step S1.

On the other hand, when the remaining time reaches 0 (zero) (S8: NO), the medium lottery requesting means 302 accepts the user's pre-grant character designation operation. Thereby, the selected character is determined (step S9).

Next, medium lottery executing means 202 transmits information about the selected character to game device 3 . As a result, the selected character is given to the user (step S10). On the other hand, the information about the pre-applied character that has not been designated by the user is deleted from the storage unit 21 . After that, the time limit gacha processing of the present invention ends.
With the above procedure, the time limit gacha process of the present invention is executed.

To summarize the above, the computer program of the present embodiment is
the server device 2,
Based on the user's operation, unlimited gacha processing within a limited time is executed when a gacha related to the gacha processing within a limited time is requested, and given to the user based on a gacha table in which a plurality of types of characters are stored. Medium lottery execution means 202 for determining a pre-grant character that is a character for
function as
The medium lottery executing means 202
Allow the user to request gacha only for 30 minutes, which is within the time limit,
When 30 minutes, which is within the time limit, has passed,
Ends allowing Gacha requests by users,
A selected character designated by the user from among a plurality of pre-granted characters determined before the time limit elapses is granted to the user.

<Effect of invention>
According to the computer program of the present embodiment, interesting gacha can be executed.

[Other embodiments]
In the above-described embodiment, the advantageous situation is that if a character owned by the user wins during the execution of the unlimited time gacha, the pre-grant character acquisition effect is skipped. is not limited. An advantageous situation may be, for example, that a character with a high rarity has a high winning probability.

Also, during the execution of unlimited time gacha, when a character of the same type as the character owned by the user is won, the medium lottery execution means sends a predetermined instruction to the timer management means to play the gacha based on the time unlimited gacha process. It is also possible to extend the time that can be requested.

Furthermore, when a character of the same type as the character owned by the user is won by execution of unlimited time gacha, the medium lottery execution means sends a predetermined instruction to the timer management means, and the timer management means performs unlimited time gacha processing. You may stop the countdown of the remaining time of the time limit in which you can request the based gacha.

Also, the gacha table may include the right to extend the time during which the unlimited gacha process can be executed.

Further, for example, the medium lottery executing means may determine whether or not the user's operation satisfies a predetermined condition (the user's terminal operation input is performed at a predetermined timing). In this case, the medium lottery execution means sends a predetermined instruction to the timer management means, and the remaining time is sent to the timer management means depending on the degree to which the predetermined condition is satisfied (e.g., evaluation of GREAT, GOOD, or BAD). You may make it perform the addition process of .

In this case, the same type of game media means "characters with the same name and the same parameters such as attributes, rarity, and ability values" and "characters with the same name but at least one parameter." "characters that are different from each other" may be included.

In the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which the user can select up to 10 selected characters, but the user may be able to discard all pre-granted characters.

In addition, the medium lottery executing means may award to the user at least one pre-grant character and at least one lottery result character determined by lottery.

In addition, the medium lottery executing means may give the user all the pre-gift characters in the time limit gacha process.

Also, unlike the above, each time a gacha and a re-gacha are executed in the unlimited gacha process within a time limit, the user can designate up to 10 pre-applied characters as keep characters based on the operation. good too.

Furthermore, in this case, once a certain character is removed from the keep character, it can be made impossible to reset the character to the keep character. In this case, the user's luck or intuition is required compared to the case where the user can compare all the pre-granted characters and select the selected character after the lapse of the time limit. can be provided.

In addition, the medium lottery executing means, as a result of the execution of the gacha and the re-gacha, selects a pre-grant character of the same type as the character owned by the user and/or a duplicate pre-grant character among the pre-grant characters. You may give a user the residual character except the character before provision of at least any one of.

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the limited-time gacha is provided within a predetermined event period has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The time limit gacha may always be provided. In addition, unlimited gacha within a limited time is available when predetermined game conditions are satisfied (for example, when the user logs in continuously for a predetermined number of days or more, when a special quest is cleared, when a specific item is obtained, normal It may be provided in the case of acquiring a ticket that allows you to perform an unlimited gacha in a gacha, etc.).

Also, unlike the above-described embodiment, the higher the number of times the gacha is executed within the time limit of the unlimited gacha process (or the more predetermined types of characters are won), the higher the rarity of the character or the character specified by the user in advance. , and the like may increase (or decrease).

Alternatively, the user may be able to end the unlimited time gacha instead of interrupting the unlimited time gacha. In this case, for example, depending on the remaining time limit, the user will be given benefits (for example, a character with a lower rarity than the highest rarity character that can be won in the unlimited gacha within the time limit, an amount of stones according to the remaining time limit etc.) may be given. According to this configuration, for example, it is possible to create a game of how quickly the user can obtain the desired character after the start of unlimited gacha within a limited time.

Further, instead of the re-gacha request by the user, a function of automatically making a re-gacha request may be installed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which consumption of stones is unnecessary when re-gacha is requested, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the amount of stones required may decrease each time a re-gacha is requested.

Furthermore, every time a re-gacha is requested, a lottery for determining whether or not the consumption of stones required for re-gacha is to be reduced, and how much the required consumption of stones should be reduced, if any, is determined. may be performed.
