The game content used for the battle content is described as including, for example, the player character owned by the player in the game, but is not limited to this. Also, the opponent
For example, it is assumed that enemy characters such as NPCs (Non Player Characters) are included.
It is not limited to this. For example, in multiplayer game content, game media operated by other players may be determined as opponents. For example, the opponent (competition game content) may be a competition game content operated by another player. The number of opponents may be arbitrarily determined in one battle game part. In addition, the player ID is
As described above, it is information that can uniquely identify the player. Hereinafter, the player ID is also simply called a player.

Further, in the game part according to the embodiment of the present invention, more preferably, the player selects an enemy character (fighting game medium) to fight against, and the player operates the player character (operation game medium) to fight against the enemy character. It is a battle game part. During the battle, the defense power of the enemy character is updated step by step according to the reduction value or rate of reduction (damage received by the enemy character) of the hit points of the enemy character during the battle. In addition, the step-by-step update status of the defense of the enemy character is configured to differ depending on the level of the enemy character, and this update status is displayed as update information on the display of the terminal device before the battle. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the case where the defense power, which is one of the parameters of the enemy character, is updated (increased) in stages will be described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, other parameters of the enemy character, such as attack power or speed, may be updated (increased) step by step.

The storage unit of the server device 10 shown in FIG. 1 stores information about enemy characters (fighting game media). The enemy character is used as an opponent of the player character (operated game medium), which is the game medium used by the player in the battle. The information about the enemy character includes arbitrary information unique to the enemy character. For example, the information about the enemy character may include a character ID, character name, level, maximum HP, maximum SP, attack power, defense power, hit points, and attributes. Since the information about the enemy character is the same as the information about the player character described above, a description thereof will be omitted.

[Game media]
A game according to an embodiment of the present invention is a game in which a player can play a game part using game media, for example. Game media are electronic data used for games,
For example, cards, items, tickets, characters, avatars, virtual currency, level information, status information, parameter information (physical strength, attack power, etc.), ability information (skills, abilities, spells, jobs, etc.), etc. including the medium of Game media are electronic data that can be acquired, owned, used, managed, exchanged, synthesized, enhanced, sold, discarded, or donated by a player in the game. It is not limited to what is specified.

Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, "game media owned by a player" refers to game media associated with a player ID that uniquely identifies the player as owned game media. Also, "provide game media to the player" indicates that the game media are associated with the player ID as possessed game media. Also, "destroy the game content owned by the player" indicates canceling the correspondence between the player ID and the owned game content. Also, "consuming game content owned by the player" indicates that some kind of effect or influence can be generated in the game according to the cancellation of the correspondence between the player ID and the owned game content. In addition, "selling the game content owned by the player" means canceling the association between the player ID and the owned game content, and adding another game content (for example, virtual currency or items) to the player ID. Indicates that it is associated as a game medium. Further, "to transfer the game content owned by player A to player B" means that the correspondence between the player ID of player A and the owned game content is canceled and the game content is owned by the player ID of player B. Indicates that it is associated as a game medium. Also, "creating game content" indicates defining or determining at least part of information about game content.

The information about the owned game media owned by the player includes various information unique to the game media owned by the player in the game. When game media are acquired by a player, the game media are associated with the player as owned game media. In the embodiment of the present invention, owned game media include, but are not limited to, player characters (operated game media) owned by the player.

The information on the operated game content is information indicating the game content to be used by the player in the battle content. The operated game media is selected from owned game media. In an embodiment of the present invention, a maximum of three game media selected from one or more owned game media
Each player character is associated with the player as an operation game medium.
Therefore, one player character can be both owned game media and operated game media. Selection of the controlled game media may be performed automatically or in response to player manipulation, eg, in dedicated game content. For example, the dedicated game content may include game content for so-called deck formation, team formation, or the like.

The information regarding the owned game content mentioned above will be described in detail. Here, information about the player character among various information about owned game contents will be described. 1
It shows information about three player characters (Character A, Character B, and Character C) owned by human players. For example, information about each player character includes character ID, character name, level, rarity, maximum HP (Hit Point), H
Information about P grade, maximum SP (Special Points), SP grade, attack power, attack power grade, defense power, defense power grade, critical point, critical point grade, attributes, and game functions and including. The level is hereinafter also referred to as a state parameter. Also, the maximum HP, maximum SP, attack power, defense power, and critical hit are also referred to as first battle parameters without particular distinction. In addition, the HP grade, SP grade, attack power grade, defense power grade, and criticality grade are also referred to as second battle parameters without particular distinction. In one embodiment, state parameters may include parameters that are not arbitrarily adjustable by the player. The first battle parameters may include parameters that the player can arbitrarily adjust. The second match parameters may include parameters that are updated in response to updates of the first match parameters. Here, the parameter arbitrarily adjustable by the player may include, for example, a parameter that can be selected according to the player's operation and whose value can be determined or updated according to the player's operation. On the other hand, parameters that cannot be arbitrarily adjusted by the player may include, for example, parameters that can be automatically determined or updated without depending on the player's operation. For example, parameters that cannot be arbitrarily adjusted by the player are parameters that are automatically updated in conjunction with the update of parameters that the player can arbitrarily adjust (for example, the first battle parameter), and parameters that are automatically updated in association with the update of a predetermined event in the game. It may also include parameters that automatically update as they occur. The predetermined event may include, for example, an event of winning a battle against an enemy character.

A character ID is information that can uniquely identify a player character. Character I
D may be stored in advance in the storage unit of the game server 20, for example. Alternatively, character I
D may be determined by the game server 20 when allowing the player to acquire the player character. The character name is information indicating the name of the player character. Unlike the character ID, the character name does not have to uniquely identify the player character. An initial value of the character name is stored in advance in the server storage unit 14 . The character name is
It may be updated according to the play of the game by the player who acquired the player character.

The level is information indicating the degree of growth of the player character. For example, the higher the level value, the higher the degree of growth of the player character. In the embodiment of the present invention, the value of level is the sum of HP grade, SP grade, attack power grade, defense power grade, and criticality grade. Details of the HP grade, SP grade, attack power grade, defense power grade, and criticality grade will be described later.

The rarity level is information indicating the degree of rarity of the player character. For example, the higher the rarity value, the higher the degree of rarity of the player character. The rarity level may be updated according to the game play by the player who acquired the player character. In the embodiment of the present invention, the rarity level is increased by consuming specific game media in the processing related to training of the player character, which will be described later. As the rarity value increases, the upper limits of HP grade, SP grade, attack power grade, defense power grade, and criticality grade increase. For example, consumption of specific game media may increase the rarity level and increase the upper limit value of at least one of the HP grade, SP grade, attack power grade, defense power grade, and criticality grade. Therefore, the higher the rarity, the more advantageous the player can be. Hereinafter, the specific game content required for increasing the rarity level is also referred to as the first material.

The maximum HP is, for example, information indicating the maximum value of HP (first single line parameter), which is a parameter indicating the vitality of the player character. In the embodiment of the present invention, when a player character is damaged by an attack action of an enemy character, HP is reduced by the amount of damage. Also, when the player character recovers by recovery action, HP increases by the recovery amount. Also, when the HP decreases to zero, it is determined that the player character becomes incapacitated or has failed to clear the game content. Therefore, the larger the player character's maximum HP, the more advantageous it is for the player.

The HP grade is information indicating the degree of growth of the maximum HP of the player character. In the embodiment of the present invention, the maximum HP and HP grade are increased by consuming specific game media in a process related to player character training, which will be described later. Therefore, as the HP grade increases, the maximum HP increases, which is advantageous to the player. Hereinafter, the specific game media required to increase the maximum HP and HP grade will also be referred to as a second material.

The maximum SP is, for example, information indicating the maximum value of SP, which is a parameter consumed when the player character performs a predetermined action. The predetermined action may include, for example, an action that becomes executable when a game function corresponding to the action is activated, as will be described later. In the embodiment of the present invention, when a player operation causing a player character to perform a predetermined action is detected, the SP of the player character is reduced by the SP consumption value set for the action, and the action is executed. be done. When the SP of the player character is less than the SP consumed by the action, control is performed so that the action cannot be executed. Therefore, the larger the player character's maximum SP is, the more advantageous it is for the player.

The SP grade is information indicating the degree of growth of the player character's maximum SP. S.
The P grade is the same as the HP grade, which corresponds to the maximum HP, except that it corresponds to the maximum SP, so the description is omitted.

Attack power is, for example, information that contributes to the amount of damage inflicted on the opponent by the player character's attack. The higher the attack power value, the greater the amount of damage dealt to the opponent. Therefore, the greater the attack power of the player character, the more advantageous it is for the player.

The attack power grade is information indicating the degree of growth of the attack power of the player character. The attack power grade is the same as the HP grade corresponding to the maximum HP except that it corresponds to the attack power, so the explanation is omitted.

Defense power is, for example, information that contributes to the amount of damage the player character receives from an attack from an opponent. The higher the defense value, the smaller the amount of damage received from the opponent. Therefore, the greater the defensive power of the player character, the more advantageous it is for the player.

The defense grade is information indicating the degree of growth of the player character's defense. The defense power grade is the same as the HP grade corresponding to the maximum HP, except that it corresponds to the defense power, so the explanation is omitted.

Confidence is, for example, information that contributes to the probability that the action execution result of the player character will be different from the normal result. For example, the higher the critical value, the higher the probability that the player character's attack will inflict more damage on the opponent than usual. Also, for example, the higher the value of the critical hit, the higher the probability that an additional effect (for example, follow-up attack) will occur when the player character attacks. Therefore, the greater the player character's conscience, the more advantageous it is for the player.

The criticality grade is information indicating the growth degree of the player character's criticality. The critical grade is the same as the HP grade corresponding to the maximum HP, except that it corresponds to critical, so the explanation is omitted.

The attribute is information indicating the superiority/inferiority relationship between the characters who are competing. The attribute indicates at least one attribute of fire, wood, and water, for example. For example, a fire-attribute character deals more damage to a wood-attribute character, and a less damage to a water-attribute character. Thus, for example, the fire attribute is advantageous to the wood attribute and disadvantageous to the water attribute.

The information about the game function includes information indicating whether or not the game function is activated for each of one or more game functions associated with the player character, and the grade of the activated game function. Any number of game functions may be associated with one player character. Processing for activating the game function will be described later. The activated game functions are permitted to be used, and the unactivated game functions are prohibited to be used. Game functions include various functions that can be performed during game execution. For example, when a game function is exhibited, an effect that is advantageous to the player may occur in the game. therefore,
Activation of the game function may be advantageous to the player.

[Game Part]
In the embodiment of the present invention, the game part is content that the player can play in the game, such as quests, missions, mini games, item acquisition events, dungeon exploration events, and opponents (such as other players, (Enemy characters, enemy buildings, etc.). For example, a predetermined condition set for each game part (
For example, when it is determined that the game task has been successfully achieved, the player may be awarded predetermined rewards, such as game media such as items and virtual currency, and points such as experience points. As the game task, any task corresponding to the content of the game part can be adopted, such as a task of winning a match against an enemy character (fighting game medium) or a task of reaching the goal of a dungeon. In the following description, the achievement of a specific task (clear task) among the game tasks set for the game part is also referred to as clearing the game part. In other words, when it is determined that the task to be cleared in the game part has been successfully achieved, the game part is determined to have been cleared, and the game part ends.

The one or more game parts may include a single-play game part and a multi-play game part. The single-play game part may include, for example, a game part (for example, a single-player game part) that is executed based on a player's operation on one terminal device 10 used by one player. For example, one terminal device 10 alone or one terminal device 10 and the game server 20 cooperate to execute a single-play game part. On the other hand, a game part for multiplay is, for example, a game part common to two or more players (for example, , multiplayer game parts). A game part common to two or more players is, for example, a game part in which at least part of the progress processing of the game part and at least part of the processing results are commonly applied to the two or more players. may include For example, two or more terminal devices 10 cooperate, or two or more terminal devices 10 and the game server 20 cooperate to execute a multiplay game part. One game part may support both single-play and multi-play.

Furthermore, in the game according to the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of modes such as "practice mode", "normal mode", and "hard mode" may be provided for one game part. A player can decide on the mode before playing a game part. Then, depending on the determined mode, game part settings such as conditions necessary for executing the game part are switched. With such a configuration, the player can play one game part with a plurality of different settings, thereby improving the convenience of the game.

[Game function]
Games of embodiments of the present invention may include game features. For example, the game function may include a function that is exhibited at timing according to the player's operation. Hereinafter, the game function that is exhibited at the timing according to the player's operation will also be referred to as an active skill. When the active skill is exhibited, for example, the player character performs a specific action. By executing a specific action, for example, an effect of inflicting greater damage on the opponent than a normal attack action is generated. Consumed SP may be set for the active skill. In such a case, the consumption S
The active skill is exhibited on the condition that the SP of the player character is consumed by the value of P. Also, for example, the game function may include a function that is continuously exhibited from the time it is activated, for example. Hereinafter, a game function that is continuously exhibited is also referred to as a passive skill. When the passive skill is exhibited, for example, the state of the player character is updated. By updating the state of the player character, for example, the effect of increasing the second parameter such as the maximum HP of the player character, and the effect of giving the player character a predetermined property (for example, the property of reducing the amount of damage received). etc. occur. Moreover, the game function may be exhibited according to a predetermined probability. In that case, the manifestation probability may be changed according to information about the player character. For example, the display probability may be changed according to the rank of the player character.

The greater the grade value of the game function, the greater the effect generated by the performance of the game function. For example, the higher the grade of an active skill that inflicts damage on an opponent, the greater the amount of damage that the active skill inflicts on the opponent. In embodiments of the present invention, consumption of certain game content increases the grade of game functionality. Hereinafter, the specific game content required for increasing the grade of game function is also referred to as a third material. For example, one grade may be set that is common to one or more enabled game features. Alternatively, a grade may be set for each activated game function.

[Training function]
Embodiments of the present invention can preferably implement a player character training function. The training function is a function of updating (improving) the parameters of the player character by a predetermined operation. The control unit of the terminal device 10 or the game server 20 is the terminal device 1 of the player.
The information about the player character of the player is updated according to the player's operation on 0 or automatically. The control unit of the terminal device 10 or the game server 20 may further update any information included in the information about the player in addition to the information about the player character. The process of updating information may include a process of updating the information stored in the server storage unit 14 with updated content.

Specifically, the control unit of the terminal device 10 or the game server 20 controls the first
The rarity of the player character may be increased by consuming materials (game media) (predetermined operation). The control unit of the terminal device 10 or the game server 20 permits an increase in rarity when one or more predetermined conditions are satisfied, and prohibits an increase in rarity when the one or more conditions are not satisfied. may The one or more conditions may include a condition that the level of the player character is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference value. The reference value may be equal to, for example, the upper limit of the level of the player character, or may be determined arbitrarily. The one or more conditions are not limited to those described above.

[Rescue function]
In the embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to provide a rescue function (rescue information) that displays a list of current capture candidates (players who can be rescued) under conditions optimized for the enemy character. Specific processing of the rescue function will be described. For example, the host information processing device may extract predetermined players as rescue candidates for each of the areas A1 to A6 in FIG. 3(a) based on the parameter information.

More specifically, the host information processing device receives parameter information of each player from each terminal device periodically and/or at a predetermined timing. The parameter information includes various parameters such as the level of each player and the player character associated with the player, or predetermined game elements (game media). The host information processing device generates list information (rescue information) of rescue candidates composed of predetermined players based on the received parameter information. The host information processing device transmits the generated list information to each terminal device 10 . Each terminal device 10 stores the transmitted list information in the storage unit 14 .

In one terminal device 10, one player taps a specific area on the matrix 40 of FIG. 3(a). The control unit 12 of the one terminal device 10 displays the list information on the display unit 11 of the one terminal device 10 according to the tap signal of the specific area. One player selects one of the other players or other player characters on the display unit 11 from the plurality of other players or the plurality of other player characters displayed in the list information. one terminal device 10
The control unit 12 transmits a rescue request from one terminal device 10 to another terminal device 10 that owns the selected other player or other player character. Other terminal device 1
At 0, if acceptance of a help request is selected, a help acceptance signal is transmitted to one terminal device 10, and the other player characters are added to the battle with the enemy character. The help request may be, for example, "a game process executed by one player and/or accepted by another player". Also, the help request may be, for example, "a data group including information on a help request and transmitted from one player to another player".
The rescue function in the embodiment of the present invention can display list information including a list of more detailed capture candidates so that "elements to capture are subdivided and the timing of their occurrence can be grasped in advance". It is possible to easily grasp the player who satisfies the set capture condition, and promote cooperation between the players.

[Rescue reservation function]
In the embodiment of the present invention, a rescue reservation function (rescue reservation information) for reserving a player's rescue
can be provided. Information processing in the rescue reservation function is basically the same as that in the rescue function, but a rescue reservation request is transmitted from one terminal device 10 to another terminal device 10 before the battle with the enemy character. be. This rescue reservation request includes information such as the level of the player character of the request transmission side, and requests the terminal devices of other players to respond to the rescue request at the timing specified by the player. The player-specified timing may be the timing associated with a particular area on matrix 40 tapped by a player. For example, it may be the timing of starting a battle with an enemy character corresponding to a specific area, or the timing when the second battle parameter of the enemy character becomes a value corresponding to the specific area. The rescue reservation request may be, for example, "a game process executed by one player and/or accepted by another player". A rescue reservation request may be, for example, "a data group including information of a rescue reservation request and transmitted from one player to another player". The rescue reservation request can also include information on items that need to be prepared in advance. If the other player has accepted the request for a reservation for assistance, the other player may be automatically added to the battle to be rescued at the timing specified by the player, and the other player may be automatically added to the battle to be rescued at the timing specified by the player on the terminal device of the other player. A notification for carrying out the rescue, a button for carrying out the rescue, and the like may be displayed.

[Modification]
In the embodiment of the present invention, the game server 20 preferably provides game media such as items that can be used in the terminal device side game program of the other player to the other player who has responded to the rescue request or the rescue reservation. You may An example of such game content may be, but is not limited to, special relief tickets. The special help ticket is an item that solves the problem that other players who are not suited to the player's request may provide help. Specifically, the special help ticket can be used to help another player who meets a predetermined condition, such as a player character having a predetermined parameter or a player character having a specified skill. Right. When a certain player selects the use of a help ticket on the terminal device, a special help request is sent to the host information processing device.

In embodiments of the present invention, a player may preferably perform a special help request. When a player executes a special help request, the host information processing device transmits a special help request to terminal devices of other players who have player levels and/or player characters that match the help conditions from the list information. do. When another player who has received the special help request selects to accept the special help request, a help acceptance signal is transmitted to the host information processing device. When the host information processing device receives the help acceptance signal, it adds another player character to the battle with the enemy character. Other player characters who participate in the battle in response to the special rescue request can also perform actions that are advantageous to the battle. As an action that is advantageous in battle, for example, it is possible to automatically activate a specific skill to attack an enemy character once. Although not limited, the special rescue ticket may be limited in the number of times it can be used depending on the parameter range of the enemy character. For example, a special rescue ticket can be set to be available only once per level of the enemy character. Also, although not limited, for example, if a predetermined number (for example, 10) of special relief tickets (game media) are distributed to all players in advance, and an enemy character satisfies a predetermined condition, for example, A special relief ticket can be made available when the enemy character is at a predetermined level or higher. The special help request may be, for example, "a game process executed by one player and/or accepted by another player". A special help request may be, for example, "a data group including information on a special help request and transmitted from one player to another player".

Embodiments of the present invention can also provide automatic rescue functions, preferably without other player interaction. For example, when one player fights against an enemy character of a predetermined level, if the parameters of the enemy character and the player character meet predetermined conditions, the terminal device side program of the one player automatically activates the rescue function. It can be executed to send to the host information processing device an automatic rescue request for another player's terminal device. The host information processing device that has received the automatic rescue request transmits the automatic rescue request to the terminal devices of other players who have player levels and/or player characters that meet predetermined rescue conditions from the list information. When another player who has received the automatic rescue request selects acceptance of the automatic rescue request, a rescue acceptance signal is transmitted to the host information processing device. When the host information processing device receives the help acceptance signal, it adds another player character to the battle with the enemy character. It should be noted that when the automatic rescue function is executed, the one player whose rescue function has been executed does not need to take the action of requesting rescue, and the rescue may be executed without consuming items. The completion of execution of the automatic rescue function may be notified during the attack of the enemy character or after defeating the enemy character.

In the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that a specific area such as the first area A1 in the HP of one enemy character can include another element, such as making it easier for an attack of a specific skill to pass through. For example, when the highest sixth defense power in the sixth area A6 is set for the enemy character, when the player uses a specific skill (game medium) to amplify the degree of HP reduction of the enemy character, the host The information processing device can calculate the damage value of the enemy character by using the attack power obtained by multiplying the attack power of the player character by a specific skill coefficient (for example, a numerical value of 2 or 3).

In an embodiment of the present invention, each step or stage of data processing is performed by the game server 20
and the terminal device 10. Further, an information processing device such as a computer or a mobile phone can be preferably used to function as the server device or the terminal device according to the above-described embodiments. Such an information processing device stores a program describing processing details for realizing each function of the server device or the terminal device according to the embodiment in the storage unit of the information processing device, and executes the program by the CPU of the information processing device. It can be realized by reading and executing.
