An example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[1. Game system configuration]
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing a configuration example of a game system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This game system 1 includes a plurality of game terminals 10-n (n is a positive integer, 10-1, 10-2, . . . ) and a server 30. FIG. The game terminal 10-n and the server 30 in the game system 1 are connected via a network N such as the Internet so as to be able to communicate with each other. Here, since the plurality of game terminals 10-n have the same configuration, they will be simply referred to as "game terminals 10" when they are not distinguished from each other.

The network N of the present embodiment is not limited to the Internet. Any network that can communicably connect the game terminals 10-n and the server 30 in the game system 1 can be used. It may be a line (telephone line, mobile communication line, etc.), a wired LAN (Local Area Network), a wireless LAN, or the like, or a combination thereof with the Internet.

A game terminal 10 operated by a user is a computer used by the user to play a game. The game terminal 10 is, for example, a home game machine (stationary or portable), a personal computer, a smart phone, a mobile phone terminal, a PHS (Personal Handy-phone System) terminal, a personal digital assistant (PDA: Personal Digital Assistant), These include tablet computers, multifunctional television receivers (so-called smart televisions), and business-use (commercial) game machines installed in amusement facilities and the like.

Server 30 is, for example, a server computer. The server 30 associates each user with a user ID for uniquely identifying the user, and stores and manages information on the user's game in, for example, a database DB. The database DB may be constructed within the server 30 or may be constructed within a server computer separate from the server 30 .

In the game system 1, computer competition (also called CPU competition) and communication competition are possible. In the communication match, for example, user A operating game terminal 10-1 and user B operating game terminal 10-2 can play a match game via network N. FIG. In the case of this communication battle, for example, there is a method in which game terminals 10-1 and 10-2 matched by server 30 directly communicate with each other through a P2P (Peer to Peer) connection or the like. Alternatively, there is also a method of communicating data exchange between game terminals 10-1 and 10-2 via server 30 for communication competition. The communication battle may be conducted by any method.

Communication between the game terminal 10-n and the server 30 uses, for example, HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) operating on TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) as a base protocol. It can be realized by implementing the specified application protocol on the upper layer.

On the other hand, communication between game terminal 10-1 and game terminal 10-2 connected by P2P or the like is, for example, a communication protocol on the transport layer of the OSI reference model and is implemented mainly on the IP protocol. It can be realized by UDP (User Datagram Protocol). The above UDP is a communication method that does not perform data delivery confirmation or error correction, and keeps sending data to the terminal device of the other party, so the data reliability is low, but the data transfer speed is high. There is Of course, it is also possible to use an existing protocol other than UDP for communication between game terminals 10-1 and 10-2, or to use a new protocol that will be newly defined in the future.

Further, for example, in a game terminal 10-n having a short-range wireless communication function using a predetermined frequency band (for example, a frequency band of 2.4 GHz), direct communication is performed between a plurality of game terminals 10-n. A battle game or the like can also be executed.

Here, the communication control function for data communication includes, for example, an Internet connection function, a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) connection function, a short-range wireless communication function using a predetermined frequency band (for example, a frequency band of 2.4 GHz). and so on. Communication unit 15 transmits a connection signal for connecting game terminal 10 to network N based on a command from CPU 11 , receives information transmitted from a communication partner, and supplies the information to CPU 11 .

The operation unit 16 is used by the user to input various operation instructions to the game terminal 10 . Examples of the operation unit 16 include a position input unit with a touch interface (a component of a touch panel), physical buttons, a controller, an analog stick, a keyboard, a pointing device, and the like. Alternatively, the operation unit 16 may be configured to allow voice input by identifying voice input from a voice input unit such as a microphone.

The image processing unit 17 drives the display unit 20 based on the image display command from the CPU 11 to display the game screen. Various known display devices such as a liquid crystal display and an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display can be applied to the display unit 20 . The display unit 20 can also be a touch panel in which a position input unit having a touch interface is combined with a display device such as a liquid crystal display. When the display unit 20 is configured as a touch panel, the image processing unit 17 includes a touch input detection unit (not shown). When an indicator such as a finger or a pen touches the screen, the touch input detection unit detects the contact position coordinates on the screen and supplies the coordinate signal to the CPU 11 . Thereby, the contact position on the screen of the display unit 20 is recognized by the CPU 11 . The display unit 20 need not be integrated with the game device 10, and may be a television monitor or the like externally connected to the game device 10, for example.

The sound processing unit 18 generates an analog audio signal based on the pronunciation instruction from the CPU 11 and outputs it to the audio output unit 21 .

The auxiliary storage device 34 is a storage device that stores programs, various data, and the like. As the auxiliary storage device 34, for example, a hard disk drive or a solid state drive can be used.

The communication unit 35 has a communication interface (not shown) and controls communication with each game terminal 10-n via the network N. FIG. The communication unit 35 also controls communication with other servers (not shown) connected to the network N. FIG. For example, in a system configuration in which the server 30 is incorporated into a social networking service (SNS), the communication section 35 of the server 30 controls communication with the SNS server. Also, for example, the server 30 controls communication with a video distribution server that distributes game videos played by users to spectators. Note that the server 30 can also have a moving image distribution function.

The server 30 can be composed of a single computer, but it can also be configured as a function distribution type in which each function of the server 30 is distributed to a plurality of servers. Alternatively, a plurality of servers 30 may be provided on the network N for redundancy (multiplexing), thereby providing a load-sharing configuration. Also, the server 30 may be configured as a cloud server using cloud computing technology.

Programs and data are supplied to the game terminal 10 or the server 30 from a remote location via the network N and stored in the RAM 13, the auxiliary storage device 14, the RAM 33, or the auxiliary storage device . The game terminal 10 or the server 30 may be provided with a component (for example, an optical disk drive or memory card slot) for reading programs and data stored in an information storage medium (for example, an optical disk or memory card).

In addition, below, the case where the game terminal 10 is a smart phone or a tablet computer provided with a touch panel is assumed.

[2. Overview of an example of a game]
An overview of an example game is provided below.
The game system 1 can execute various games. For example, various games such as sports games (baseball, soccer, tennis, American football, etc.), racing games, fighting games, combat games, digital card games, etc. can be executed regardless of game format and genre. The game may be executed by data communication between the game terminal 10 and the server 30 or another game terminal 10, or may be executed by the game terminal 10 alone.

For example, in a baseball game, various game modes including training and competition are executed based on one or more objects (eg, game characters, game cards, game items, etc.). In the following, a baseball game based on baseball will be described as an example of the game executed by the game system 1, and other games will be mentioned as necessary.

Various game modes such as training mode, team training mode, competition mode, acquisition mode, strengthening mode, etc. are installed in the baseball game of this embodiment. The training mode is a character training mode in which the user trains a game character to create his own original game character. In this embodiment, a pitcher or a fielder (including a catcher) character can be trained in the training mode. An original character created by the user in training mode can be used in other game modes such as team training mode and battle mode. The team training mode is a game mode for training a team composed of a plurality of player characters. The battle mode is a game mode in which a team formed by using original characters created by the user in the breeding mode is used to battle against an opponent team. Acquisition mode is a game mode in which characters (event characters to be described later) that can be used when raising an original character in breeding mode can be obtained. The enhancement mode is a part where the event characters can be enhanced by synthesizing the event characters obtained in the acquisition mode.

The breeding mode will be described in detail below.
In the breeding mode, an original character to be trained (hereinafter referred to as a main character) practices baseball in high school, and the main character is trained as a pitcher or a fielder through various events. In addition, a plurality of scenarios are prepared in the training mode of the present embodiment, and the high school to be advanced to differs depending on the scenario. A scenario is a game story that develops as the game progresses. In the game of this embodiment, the user selects one of the scenarios to determine the high school that the main character will attend.

When a scenario is selected, the user first determines basic information about the main character. The basic information includes the name, position, dominant arm, batting form, and pitching form in the case of a pitcher. For positions, choose from pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, and outfielder. Hereinafter, positions other than pitcher will be described as fielders. As for the main character's dominant arm, he or she selects right-handed or left-handed, as well as right-handed, left-handed, or double-handed (switch hitter). The user selects the main character's batting form from a plurality of types such as standard and open stance. Also, in the pitching form, the user selects from a plurality of types such as overthrow, three-water, side throw, and underthrow. Further, when determining the basic information of the main character, preset basic information may be displayed first on the screen, and the user may change the basic information.

After the basic information of the main character is determined, the event deck is set. Here, the event deck is a deck for setting event characters who will be teammates with whom the main character goes to high school to practice together. An event character is a character that affects the training of the main character (has an advantageous effect for the user) when an event occurs in the process of training the main character. Select the event character to set for the deck. The event character can be obtained as a reward for winning in the battle mode, or obtained by lottery in the acquisition mode described above.

The event character acquired by the user in the game is associated with the user ID as the user's possessed character, stored in a storage device (database DB, auxiliary storage device 14, auxiliary storage device 34, etc.) and managed in the game system 1. be. There is an upper limit to the number of event characters that each user can possess. The basic upper limit is "50", but the number of upper limits can be expanded by satisfying a predetermined condition. For example, by spending a predetermined amount of in-game currency, the upper limit number can be increased by "5". However, the upper limit that can be expanded to the maximum is determined, and there is a limit to the event characters that the user can possess. The user can sell the event character that the user has. If you sell the event character, it will be converted into points that can be used in the game or in-game currency.

In addition, in the enhancement mode described above, the user selects one base character and one or more enhancement material characters from among the event characters possessed by the user, synthesizes the enhancement material characters with the base character, and obtains the base character. can be strengthened. This strengthening process can improve the level of the event character selected as the base character. On the other hand, the event character used as the strengthening material character is no longer owned by the user.

By selling or strengthening the above event characters, the user can adjust the number of event characters possessed within the upper limit. The game system 1 manages a list of event characters currently possessed by the user and event characters possessed in the past by the user as picture book information. Then, the user can check the picture book information on the screen at any time by performing a predetermined operation.

It is desirable that the user previously raises the level of the event character by performing the strengthening process before starting the scenario in the breeding mode. This is because the higher the level of the event character, the higher the increase in the hero character's ability through practice, the higher the initial evaluation of the hero character, and the like.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the event deck display screen G100. When setting the event deck, a display screen G100 shown in FIG. 4 is displayed. A deck name is displayed in the display area A110. The user can pre-register the combination of event characters in the event deck before starting the scenario in the breeding mode. The change button B1101 is a button for changing the deck name.

The selected event character is displayed in the display area A112. For example, up to six event characters can be set in the event deck. The event characters are selected from the event characters possessed by the user, but some of them can be selected from the event characters possessed by other users (for example, other users associated with the user). For example, depending on the type of scenario, there is a case where the player does not possess the event characters necessary to advance the scenario in an advantageous manner. Even in such a case, if an event character owned by another user can be selected, the user can proceed advantageously in the scenario, and the user can enjoy the game even in the scenario.

The display area A111 displays the rarity of each event character. Rarity represents the difficulty of obtaining, and the types of rarity are "normal (N)", "powerful normal (PN)", "rare (R)", "powerful rare (PR)", There are 6 types of "Super Rare (SR)" and "Powerful Super Rare (PSR)". The rarity increases in the order of N, PN, R, PR, SR, and PSR. Also, the level of the event character is displayed in the display area A113.

In addition, each event character may be associated with a special practice. You can get more experience points.

The display area A114 displays a list of the event character's favorite exercises. Types of practice include "hitting", "strength", "base running", "shoulder strength", "ball speed", "control", "stamina", "breaking ball", "defense", and "mental". . When the event character is set in the event deck, the display area A115 displays the multiples of the event character that are good practice. In the example shown in FIG. 4, there is one event character whose specialty is batting, two event characters who are good at strength training, one event character who is good at base running, and one character who is good at shoulder strength. It shows that one event character is set to practice and one event character is set to practice mental skill. It should be noted that there may be two or more types of good practice for one event character. When an event character having two or more types of good practices is set in the event deck, the total number displayed in the display area A115 is increased accordingly.

When setting the event character to the event deck is completed as described above, next, items that can be used in the breeding mode are selected. Items can be obtained as rewards for winning in the battle mode or by lottery. For example, the user can use a predetermined number of items (for example, two at maximum) in the breeding mode. As for the types of items, there are items that increase the rate of event occurrence, items that restore physical strength, items that lower the rate of injury, and items that enable the automatic allocation of experience points, which will be described later. be.

When the selection of game items is finished as described above, the scenario is started. Here, before explaining the content of the scenario, the ability value of the main character will be explained. FIG. 5 shows an example of an ability list screen G200 when the main character is trained as a fielder. An image of the main character is displayed in the display area A210.

The display area A211 displays the name of the main character. The name of the main character is determined when determining the basic information of the main character, but can be changed after the main character is trained. The display area A212 displays the position number of the main character. 2 for catcher, 3 for first base, 4 for second base, 5 for third base, 6 for shortstop, 7 for left, 8 for center, 9 for right is displayed.

The display area A213 displays the batting form and dominant arm of the main character. The display area A214 displays the position of the main character. It should be noted that it is also possible to train the main character so that it can defend in a plurality of positions, in which case the plurality of positions can be displayed.

The display areas A215 to A221 display basic abilities as a fielder. In addition, the basic abilities displayed in the display areas A216 to A221 are displayed in eight evaluation ranks of S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, and if the ability value is 90 or more, S, 80 A for up to 89, B for 70 to 79, C for 60 to 69, D for 50 to 59, E for 40 to 49, F for 20 to 39, F for 19 or less In that case, it will be G.

In the display area A215, information on the basic ability "ballistic" is displayed, and the evaluation rank is represented by a numerical value of 1-4. The higher the number, the higher the trajectory of the batted ball, and the easier it is to hit a home run. In the display area A216, information on the basic ability "Meat" is displayed. In the display area A217, information on the basic ability "power" is displayed. In the display area A218, information on the basic ability "running ability" is displayed. In the display area A219, information on the basic ability "shoulder strength" is displayed, and the higher the "shoulder strength" ability, the faster the ball can be thrown in defense. In the display area A220, information on the basic ability "defensive ability" is displayed, and the higher the "defensive ability", the wider the defensive range. In the display area A221, information on the basic ability "ball catching" is displayed, and the higher the "ball catching" ability, the easier it is to catch the ball skillfully in defense and the less likely an error will occur.

The display area A222 displays a list of special abilities related to the fielders possessed by the main character. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the main character has five types of special abilities: "infield hit", "pinch hitter", "in-course", "throw", and "stable condition". In other words, the main character should be able to hit infield easily, increase his ability value when appearing as a pinch hitter, be good at batting "in-course", be able to throw the ball accurately when defending, and have a stable condition. showing.

FIG. 6 shows an example of an ability list screen G300 when the main character is trained as a pitcher. An image of the main character is displayed in the display area A310. The display area A311 displays the name of the main character. The display area A312 displays the position number of the main character. If the position is pitcher, 1 is displayed. The display area A313 displays the pitching form and dominant arm of the main character. The display area A314 displays the position of the main character.

The display area A315 displays the basic ability related to "ball speed", and displays the maximum ball speed when throwing a straight ball. In addition, the basic abilities displayed in the display areas A316 and A317 are displayed in 8-level evaluation ranks of S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G in descending order of ability. S for 80-89, A for 80-89, B for 70-79, C for 60-69, D for 50-59, E for 40-49, E for 20-39 F, 19 or less will be G.

In the display area A316, the basic ability related to "control" is displayed. The display area A317 displays the basic ability related to "stamina", and the higher the "stamina" ability, the less likely the player will get tired, and the less likely the ability will decrease in the second half of the match.

In the display area A317, the type and amount of change of the breaking ball mastered by the main character are shown in addition to the straight ball. The five arrows displayed in the display area A318 indicate the direction of the trajectory change of the right-handed pitcher's breaking ball viewed from the batter's side toward the pitcher. The curve ball has a different angle of 45 degrees depending on the direction in which the ball trajectory changes. It is classified into five.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the main character has mastered the breaking balls of "slider", "curve", "fork" and "shoot" in addition to the straight ball. In other words, when the main character is used in another game, the player can throw the type of pitch selected by the user from "straight," "slider," "curve," "fork," and "shoot."

The five arrows displayed in the display area A317 also function as gauges that indicate the amount of change of each curveball. Here, the amount of change of the curve ball is one of the ability parameters of the main character, and indicates the degree of curve of the curve ball. In other words, it indicates the degree of change in the trajectory of the ball when the main character throws the curveball. The amount of change is indicated in seven stages from "1" to "7", with "1" being the smallest amount of change and "7" being the largest amount of change.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the main character has a "slider" change amount of "5", a "curve" change amount of "3", a "fork" change amount of "4", and a "shoot" change amount of "4". has an ability of "2".

A display area A319 displays a list of pitcher-related special abilities possessed by the main character. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the main character has four types of special abilities: "heavy ball", "strikeout", "guts", and "hitting strength". In other words, the main character throws a heavy ball, easily strikes out from the batter, can throw the ball with guts even when tired, and is less upset when hit.

Next, the details of the content of the scenario will be described. As mentioned above, in the breeding mode, multiple scenarios are prepared, and first, the contents common to these scenarios will be explained. For example, any scenario is composed of four sections, the first to third sections are composed of 12 turns each, and only the fourth section is composed of 15 turns. The user advances the game by selecting an arbitrary command from among a plurality of commands for each turn. In each turn, it is possible to select a practice item (or practice place) for the main character to practice, or to allow the main character to rest. In addition, since the high school baseball preliminaries and the high school baseball game at Koshien are included from the middle of the 4th section, if you lose the game in the middle and are eliminated, the 4th section will be forced to end. may

In each turn of each section, a plurality of teammates appear in addition to the main character, which greatly affects the development effect of the main character. The teammates include event characters set in the event deck, predetermined event characters specific to the scenario, and other default characters (non-event characters). It is also possible to set the same character as the event character predetermined unique to the scenario in the event deck.

In addition, the events that can occur in each turn include the pre-event that occurs before the command selection, and the event that occurs after the command such as practice or rest is selected and executed. including after-events. Events that occur include a scenario event unique to the scenario, an event by an event character set in the event deck, and an event by a predetermined event character unique to the scenario. In a scenario event specific to a scenario, event characters that are predetermined and specific to the scenario mainly appear. Whether the event occurs before or after command selection is determined in advance by the content of the scenario event and the event character, and the occurrence condition of each event occurs when the event occurrence lottery is won. When these events occur, the main character is given training effects corresponding to the events that have occurred. For example, when an event occurs, the player can obtain experience points necessary for raising the ability value of the main character or acquiring special abilities.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the main screen G400 of the basic breeding mode having elements common to each scenario. As shown in FIG. 11, there is information that is additionally displayed depending on the scenario, but first, the contents common to each scenario will be explained using FIG. 7 and the like.

The display area A401 displays the current section and the current turn (number of remaining turns in the current section). The current school year, month and week of the main character are displayed in the display area A402. In the display area A403, the current physical strength gauge of the main character is displayed, and the physical strength gauge decreases when practice is selected in that turn, and the physical strength gauge increases when the player takes a rest or goes on a date. The display area A414 displays an icon indicating the motivation parameter of the main character. The types of icons are switched in a plurality of steps according to the main character's motivation parameter, and fluctuate according to the occurrence of events. Also, when the menu button P404 is selected, a menu screen is displayed, and the user can confirm the settings or interrupt the scenario.

The display area A405 displays the name of the main character and the current basic ability evaluation rank. In the example shown in FIG. 7, since the main character is trained as a fielder, the current evaluation ranks of the aforementioned "ballistics", "meat", "power", "running power", "shoulder power", and "defensive power" is displayed. When the main character is trained as a pitcher, "ball speed", "control", "stamina", and "type and variation of breaking ball" are displayed. Also, an image P406 of the main character is displayed near the display area A405.

In each turn, the user can select what to do in that turn from a plurality of command options P407, P408, P411-P413. It should be noted that if the option P410 of "ability up" is selected, the turn is not completed accordingly. In addition, the option P409 differs in content depending on the type of scenario, and there are those that complete the turn and those that do not. Next, the contents of each option will be described.

When the option P407 of "rest" is selected, the player does not practice in that turn and recovers physical strength by resting. The amount of health recovered is determined by lottery. When the "practice" option P408 is selected, the screen transitions to a practice screen G500 in FIG. 8, which will be described later, and the user selects one of several types of practice items (or practice locations). The details of the practice items will be described later. The option P409 is a scenario-specific option, and the content differs depending on the selected scenario.

When the option P410 of "ability up" is selected, the user can increase the ability of the main character by using the experience points acquired through practice and events. In other words, if the main character's basic abilities are to be improved or special abilities are to be acquired, this option P410 is selected to raise the main character's abilities. When the option P411 of "going to the hospital" is selected, the main character's illness or the like is cured with a predetermined probability. When the option P412 of "Play" is selected, the physical strength of the main character is recovered, and the motivation parameter of the main character is increased by one level with a high probability. When the "date" option P413 is selected, the physical strength of the main character is recovered, and experience points are given to the main character according to the details of execution of the date command.

Next, a case where the option P408 of "practice" is selected will be described. FIG. 8 shows an example of the practice screen G400. Note that the example shown in FIG. 8 shows the screen in a state in which the exercise for building "strength" is provisionally selected by the arrow P510. The display area A501 displays unredeemed experience points earned by the main character. Here, the experience points are the points required to raise the abilities of the main character as described above. points are not included. There are five types of experience points: "strength", "agility", "skill", "breaking ball", and "spirit", and the type and value of experience points obtained by practice items differ. As shown in FIG. 8, when the exercise of "strength" is selected, experience points of "strength" and experience points of "spirit" are obtained. In addition, the display area A502 displays the amount of increase in experience points when the exercise is selected, and the user can select an exercise item while referring to the amount of increase in experience points.

The display area A505 displays teammates who participate in the practice together. In other words, the display area A505 displays teammate characters associated with the option of the practice item. The teammates who participate together are randomly selected from the scenario-specific and predetermined event characters described above, event characters set in the event deck, other default characters, scouts and managers, and participate together. The more points you get, the more experience points you get. In the display area A506, the teammate's name and the evaluation value (or degree of relationship) with respect to the main character are displayed in gauges. The evaluation value for the main character can be raised by the occurrence of an event involving the teammate or by practicing together with the teammate. The higher the evaluation value for the main character, the more likely it is that a trick event for acquiring special ability tips will occur, or the increase in experience points will be greater. In addition, if you acquire a special ability trick, the experience points required to acquire that special ability will decrease.

Now, the trick event will be explained. In the display area A505, a trick event icon P509 is superimposed and associated with the teammate who is the target of the trick event. Also, a trick event icon P509 for notifying the occurrence of a trick event is superimposed and displayed on a practice item in which a trick event occurs. Also, the teammate associated with the trick event icon P509 and the main character practice together (in other words, the "exercise item option" associated with the "teammate associated with the trick event icon P509"). is selected), a trick event occurs, and the main character can acquire tricks for special abilities.

Note that "the main character practices with his teammates" may be simply described as "practices with his teammates." To "exercise with a teammate" is to select a practice item option with which the teammate is associated.

Teammates who can generate trick events are basically event characters. A lottery is drawn each turn to determine whether or not to generate a trick event for each event character that can generate a trick event. The tricks that can be obtained are randomly determined from among the special abilities of the event character that generated the trick event. Tips have levels (Lv. 1 to Lv. 5 in this embodiment), and the higher the level, the less the experience points required for the main character to acquire special abilities. You may be able to acquire tips for basic abilities from some event characters. Acquiring tips for basic abilities reduces the amount of experience points required to improve basic abilities such as meatball and ball speed of the main character. That is, by acquiring tips, it becomes possible to proceed with the development of the main character in an advantageous manner. It should be noted that, due to the occurrence of a trick event, it may be possible to acquire experience points instead of acquiring the tips.

The display area A507 displays the favorite practice associated with the teammate. When the finally selected practice matches the good practice, benefits such as gaining more experience points are given to the development of the main character. Note that the good practice is displayed on the event character set in the event deck, and is not displayed on the scenario-specific and predetermined event characters (excluding those set on the event deck) and other default characters. In addition, it is possible to practice with a maximum of five teammates, and the combination of teammates associated with each practice item is drawn every turn.

Furthermore, if there is an event character among the teammates who practice together, the selected practice matches the good practice and the evaluation value for the main character is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, special practice called special tag practice is performed. done. Special tag practice will give you more experience points than usual.

The display area A508 displays the injury rate when the exercise is selected. The injury rate increases as the current physical strength decreases. The user can select the return button P504 as necessary while referring to the injury rate, return to the main screen G400 of FIG. 7, and select a command such as "rest" again.

The higher the injury rate, the higher the probability that the main character will get injured when practicing. If you are injured, you will not receive experience points even if you practice.

Different exercise items can be selected from the options P511 to P516. For example, the user presses one of the options P511 to P516 with a finger or the like to execute the exercise. Also, the respective practice levels are displayed in the respective options P511 to P516. Selecting the same exercise multiple times will increase your level, with higher level exercises earning more experience points.

When the option P511 of "strike" is selected, the experience points necessary for increasing the "meat", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "strength", "skill" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained. When the option P512 of "strength" is selected, experience points of "strength" and "spirit" are obtained.

When the option P513 of "base running" is selected, the experience points necessary for increasing the "running power", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, experience points are earned for "Strength" and "Agility". When the "shoulder strength" option P514 is selected, the experience points required to increase the "shoulder strength", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, experience points are earned for "strength," "agility," and "technique."

When the "defense" option P515 is selected, the experience points required to increase the "defense power", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, experience points are earned for "Agility", "Technology" and "Mental". When the "mental" option P516 is selected, the main character's physical strength is recovered, and experience points for "skill" and "spirit" are obtained.

The example shown in FIG. 8 is an example in which the main character is trained as a fielder. In the case where the main character is trained as a pitcher, the practice items of the options P511 to P516 are different, and are respectively "ball speed" and "control." ”, “stamina”, “breaking ball”, “defense”, and “mental”. The types of experience points are the same as when the main character is trained as a fielder. Similarly, when the main character is trained as a pitcher, the types and values of experience points obtained by practice items differ. For example, if you choose the "control" exercise, you will receive experience points for "technique" and experience points for "spirit".

When the "ball speed" option is selected, the experience points required to increase the "ball speed", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "strength", "skill" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained. When the option of "control" is selected, the experience points necessary for increasing the "control", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, experience points for "skill" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained.

When the "stamina" option is selected, the experience points required to increase the "stamina", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "muscular strength" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained. When the option of "breaking ball" is selected, the experience points required to increase the type and amount of change of "breaking ball", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "skill", "breaking ball" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained.

When the "defense" option is selected, the experience points of "agility", "skill" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained. When the option of "mental" is selected, the physical strength of the main character is recovered, and the experience points of "skill" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained.

Next, a procedure for reflecting experience points obtained through practice or the like in basic abilities and special abilities will be described. When the option P410 of "ability up" is selected on the main screen G400 shown in FIG. 7, the screen transitions to the screen shown in FIG. 9 below.

FIG. 9 shows an example of a setting screen G600 for increasing the basic abilities of the main character trained as a fielder. The display area A601 displays the evaluation rank and ability value of each basic ability before the ability upgrade, and the display area A602 displays the evaluation rank and ability value of each basic ability after the ability upgrade. The selection button P605 is a button for transitioning to a screen for setting basic abilities, and in the example of FIG. 9, it indicates that the setting screen for basic abilities is selected. When the selection button P606 is selected, the screen transitions to a special ability setting screen, which will be described later.

In the display area A603, out of the currently acquired experience points for each type ("strength", "agility", "skill", "breaking ball" and "spirit"), the Displays experience points that have not been used for allocation. By allocating the experience points displayed in the display area A603 to basic abilities and special abilities, it is possible to increase the ability value of the main character's basic abilities and acquire special abilities. Allocating experience points refers to performing once or more than once or more times the experience points required to upgrade the abilities that make up the basic abilities and special abilities. The experience points used by the allocation are subtracted from the experience points displayed in the display area A603.

A list of basic abilities is displayed in the display area A604, and the experience points required to raise the ability value of each basic ability by 1 are displayed. If there is more basic ability information than can be displayed in the display area A604, all the basic ability information can be displayed by moving the scroll bar displayed in the display area A612. In this way, by determining the type and amount of experience points required to raise the ability value of the basic ability for each basic ability, the method of allocating experience points becomes diverse. A button P607 is displayed corresponding to each basic ability, and by operating the button P607, experience points can be used to increase the ability value of the corresponding basic ability.

For example, when the "Ballistic" button P607 is operated once, the necessary experience points ("Strength" 10, "Technology" 10, "Mental" 10) required to increase the ability value of "Ballistic" by 1 are used to Ballistics" ability value will increase by 1. Also, for example, when the "Meat" button P607 is operated once, the experience points ("Strength" 1, "Technology" 6, "Mental" 4) required to increase the ability value of "Meat" by 1 are used. The ability value of "Meat" will increase by 1. Further, for example, when the "running power" button P607 is operated once, the experience points ("strength" 3, "agility" 12) required to increase the ability value of "running power" by 1 are used to obtain "running power". ” will increase by 1. In this way, at least one of the type of experience points (combination of types) required for skill improvement or the amount of required experience points differs for each type of basic ability. Also, depending on the number of times the button P607 is operated, the ability value of the corresponding basic ability can be increased step by step. By allocating experience points to basic abilities arbitrarily selected by the user on the setting screen G600 in this way, it is possible to improve the ability value of the basic abilities by manual operation.

In addition, automatic allocation processing is executed by operating the Random button P610. In this automatic allocation process, the game system 1 allocates experience points to basic abilities and special abilities selected according to a predetermined rule, thereby increasing the ability values of basic abilities and acquiring special abilities. In this embodiment, the automatic allocation process can be executed when a certain condition is satisfied that the game items selected before the start of the scenario include a specific item for permitting the automatic allocation process. there is

Allocation of experience points by manual operation or automatic allocation processing is not finalized until the finalize button P611 is operated. That is, until the confirmation button P611 is operated, the allocation is provisional, and the consumption of experience points is not confirmed. For example, by operating the reset button P608, the allocation of the experience points at that time is collectively canceled, and the experience points used after transitioning to the setting screen G600 of FIG. 9 can be returned to the unused state. can be done. After the experience points have been allocated, the confirmation button P611 is operated to confirm the allocation of the experience points (that is, the consumption of the experience points), and to confirm the ability change setting of the main character. Further, by operating the return button P608, the screen returns to the main screen G400 (see FIG. 7) displayed one before.

FIG. 10 shows an example of a setting screen G700 for acquiring special abilities of the main character trained as a fielder. The setting screen G700 also basically has the same screen configuration as the setting screen G700 for increasing the ability value of the basic ability, and the same member number is attached to the configuration that overlaps with the setting screen G700, and the explanation is given. omitted.

A list of special abilities is displayed in the display area A701, and the experience points required to acquire each special ability are displayed. If there is special ability information that cannot be displayed in the display area A701, all special ability information can be displayed by moving the scroll bar displayed in the display area A612. In this way, by determining the type and amount of experience points required to acquire a special ability for each special ability, the method of allocating experience points becomes diverse. A button P607 is displayed corresponding to each special ability, and by operating the button P607, the corresponding special ability can be acquired using experience points.

As illustrated in FIG. 10, at least one of the type (combination of types) of experience points required to acquire the special ability or the amount of required experience points differs for each type of special ability. Note that there are also special abilities that cannot be acquired unless the button P607 is operated multiple times.

The examples shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 show the case where the main character is trained as a fielder. be replaced. Also, a selection button is added for setting the type and amount of change of the curve ball, and when the selection button is selected, the type of curve ball can be selected. In this case, the type and amount of experience points required to increase the variation of the curve ball by 1 are also displayed, and the currently acquired experience points can be consumed to increase the variation of the curve ball.

As described above, the experience points obtained as a result of events occurring during practice and training mode are reflected in the improvement of the main character's basic abilities and the acquisition of special abilities, thereby training the main character. can be done. Basically, the training of the main character is completed by the end of one scenario. A main character that has been trained is evaluated based on its basic abilities, special abilities, etc., and a player's overall strength value is calculated, and a player rank is determined based on the player's overall strength value.

Then, the main character that has been trained in the breeding mode is registered as a character that can be used by the user in other game modes such as the battle mode in association with the user ID. After the scenario ends, another original character can be created by starting the scenario again from the beginning and training the main character. That is, a plurality of original characters can be created by repeating training in the training mode.

Next, characteristic contents specific to the scenario described in this embodiment will be described. In the scenario according to this embodiment described below, in order to help people who came from ancient Egypt, they practiced with their teammates to excavate and repair treasures while repairing and rebuilding the pyramids. In return, the scenario is to get them to play baseball well.

First, an outline of the game unique to this scenario will be explained.
When a predetermined condition is met, a teammate such as an event character is associated with a "treasure excavation icon". By practicing with a teammate associated with this treasure excavation icon, a "treasure excavation event" will occur. Due to the occurrence of this treasure excavation event, a "treasure object" (hereinafter simply referred to as "treasure") pops out of the pyramid, and the treasure is associated with the teammate. This allows the hero character to enjoy the effect of the artifact by practicing with a teammate to whom the artifact is associated (in other words, who has the artifact). There are 11 types of treasures: "normal treasures", 8 "rare treasures", and 2 "legendary treasures", and the effects differ depending on the type of treasure. The primary effect of having a relic tied to a teammate is the storage and release of XP. Among the treasures, there are treasures that can take two states of "absorption" and "release". By practicing with a teammate that has an "Absorbed" artefact associated with it, at least a portion of the experience points that would have been earned in that practice are absorbed and stored in the pyramid. Now, when experience points are absorbed into a pyramid, all types of experience points are collected and stored as a common "storage point". Depending on the type of treasure, when absorbing (storing) experience points, the storage points may increase more than usual. Also, by using a certain "magic", the accumulated points will increase more than usual when absorbing (storing) experience points.

The treasure is basically in the "absorbed" state, but by using a predetermined "magic", the treasure can be in the "release" state for a predetermined number of turns (for example, 3 turns). Practicing with a teammate that has an associated Relic in the "Released" state will release at least a portion of the "Storage Points" stored in the Pyramid and retrieve them as experience points of the type earned for that practice. can In other words, by practicing with a teammate that has a Relic in the "Release" state associated with it, you can add experience points released from the "Storage Points" to the type of XP earned in that practice. Depending on the type of artifact, you may gain more experience points than usual when releasing the storage points. Also, by using certain "magic", the experience points that can be obtained will increase more than usual when releasing storage points.

Also, by practicing together for a predetermined number of turns (eg, 5 turns) with a teammate with whom the artifact is associated, the restoration of that artifact is completed. Practicing with a teammate that has an associated relic that has been repaired returns the relic to the pyramid (in other words, the teammate is disassociated from the relic). The main effects of returning this relic are magic restoration, gaining experience points, and repairing pyramid chambers. Here, magic power is a parameter for using "magic". There are multiple rooms in the pyramid, and depending on the type of artifact being returned, the degree of restoration in each room of the pyramid may vary.

By repeating the excavation, restoration, and return of the aforementioned treasures to the pyramid, the degree of restoration of each room of the pyramid increases. And when the repair of the pyramid room is completed, the magic corresponding to that room will be released, and you will be able to use that magic. In addition, magic power is required to use magic. The required magical power differs depending on the type of magic. Magical power is recovered by returning the aforementioned treasure and practicing (executing a command that selects a practice item). By using various types of magic, the development of the main character can be promoted advantageously.

As described above, in this scenario, in addition to the contents common to each of the above scenarios, the main character is trained by excavating treasures, repairing treasures, returning treasures, repairing pyramid rooms, using various magics, etc. can be taken advantage of. A specific example will be described below.

FIG. 11 shows an example of the breeding mode main screen G800 displayed in this scenario. In FIG. 11, since the contents common to each scenario are the same as those of the main screen G400 of FIG. 7, the same member numbers are given to screen configurations that overlap with those of FIG. 7, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

The main screen G800 includes a display area A801 and a display area A802. A display area A801 displays a pyramid image P803 and information on storage points stored in the pyramid.
The display state of the pyramid image P803 changes as the pyramid restoration (repair of each room of the pyramid) progresses. For example, as for the image P803 of the pyramid, until the pyramid reaches a predetermined state due to the progress of the scenario (for example, until the top of the pyramid is completely repaired), an image in which the top is shaved is displayed and the predetermined state is displayed. After that, control is performed so that an image in which the top portion exists is displayed. The pyramid image P803 may change its display state such as color, saturation, size, brilliance, presence/absence of blinking, blinking speed, etc. according to the degree of pyramid restoration.

The storage point information displayed in the display area A801 includes the current storage point and the upper limit of the storage point. FIG. 11 shows an example of "storage point 200/999", which indicates that the current storage point is "200" and the upper limit of the storage point is "999". there is The "upper limit of the storage point" is the maximum value of the storage point that can be stored, and the storage point cannot be stored beyond the upper limit. A storage gauge having the upper limit value of the storage point as the maximum value of the gauge may be displayed in the display area A801, and the current storage point amount may be displayed on the storage gauge in an easy-to-visual manner. The "upper limit of storage points" starts with a default value (eg, 999) at the start of the game, and increases to a predetermined value (eg, 2000) when the outer wall of the pyramid is repaired.

A display area A802 displays a magic power gauge indicating the current magic power. A maximum parameter value is set for magical power, and the maximum value of the magic power gauge is the upper limit of the parameter value. "Upper limit of magical power parameter value" is the maximum value of the magical power parameter value that can be accumulated, and magical power cannot be accumulated beyond this. The "upper limit of magic parameter value" starts with a default value (eg, 500) at the start of the game, and increases to a predetermined value (eg, 700) upon completion of repairing the top of the pyramid. The minimum unit of magical power required to use magic is "magic power 1", and a line is drawn on the magic power gauge for each "magic power 1". For example, a magic power parameter value of 100 corresponds to "magic power 1". In other words, "magic power 5" is the maximum until the repair of the top of the pyramid is completed, and "magic power 7" is the maximum after the repair of the top is completed.

Further, the display state of the pyramid image P803 in the display area A801 may be changed according to the current amount of magical power. For example, control is performed so that the greater the amount of magical power, the brighter the pyramid image P803. Alternatively, the pyramid image P803 may change its display state, such as color, saturation, size, brilliance, presence/absence of blinking, blinking speed, etc., according to the amount of magical power.

The main screen G800 also includes a pyramid command option P809. This option P809 does not digest the turn. When an operation to select option P809 is performed, the screen transitions to the pyramid screen illustrated in FIG. On the pyramid screen, it is possible to check the magic power, the use of magic, the repair status of each room of the pyramid, and the information of each room of the pyramid. Details of the pyramid screen will be described later.

FIG. 12 shows an example of a practice screen G900 that transitions when the option P408 of "practice" is selected on the main screen G800 of FIG. In FIG. 12, since the contents common to each scenario are the same as those of the practice screen G500 of FIG. 8, the same member numbers are assigned to screen configurations that overlap with those of FIG. 8, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

The practice screen G900 of FIG. 12 includes a display area A801 and a display area A802 similar to those of FIG. 11, in which the current reserve points and magical power are displayed. The practice screen G900 also includes a pyramid button P902 for transitioning to a pyramid screen, which will be described later.

(Treasure Excavation Icon and Treasure Excavation Event)
Teammates displayed in the display area A505 may be superimposed and associated with treasure excavation icons P901 by a lottery based on a predetermined probability. FIG. 12 shows an example in which treasure excavation icons P901 are associated with an event character IA whose favorite exercise is "batting" and an event character IB whose favorite exercise is "strength". By practicing together with a teammate associated with the treasure excavation icon P901 (in other words, by selecting a practice item option associated with the teammate associated with the treasure excavation icon P901), the treasure excavation event is executed. Occur.

As illustrated in FIG. 13, when a treasure excavation event occurs, a treasure P903 pops out from the pyramid image P803, and the treasure P903 is associated with the teammate associated with the treasure excavation icon P901. That is, in the display area A507, the icon of the favorite practice associated with the target event character (teammate) in which the treasure excavation event occurred is replaced with the treasure P903. It should be noted that special tag training will not occur in the specialty practice for the event character whose specialty practice icon has been replaced with the treasure P903.

Teammates with relics associated with them are sometimes described as "teammates have relics." By executing the treasure excavation event, the treasure excavation icon P901 is deleted from the teammate who has the treasure P903.

In FIG. 13, the effect of the treasure excavation event in which the treasure P903 pops out from the pyramid image P803 and the treasure P903 is associated with a teammate is merely a game effect. Only results associated with teammates may be displayed on the screen.

If the treasure P903 is associated with a teammate due to a treasure excavation event that occurred in a certain turn, the effect of the association of the treasure P903 will occur from the next turn onwards. In other words, in the turn in which the treasure excavation event occurs, the effect of the treasure P903, which is the object of the treasure excavation event, does not occur.

Next, the details of associating the treasure excavation icon P901 with teammates will be described.
Teammates with whom the treasure excavation icon P901 can be associated are basically event characters who have not won the lottery for the trick event that is executed every turn. Here, the event character that has not won the trick event lottery is an event character that is not associated with the trick event icon P509. In the example of FIG. 12, since the trick event icon P509 is associated with the event character IC, it is a character that has won the lottery for the trick event and has been excluded from the lottery targets for the treasure excavation icon P901.

A teammate other than an event character is called a "mob character" here. A mob character cannot basically have a treasure, but if certain conditions are met, even a mob character can have a treasure, and the treasure excavation icon P901 will be associated with it. Here, the certain condition is that the mob character changes to a specific state of "mummy mob" for a predetermined number of turns (for example, 5 turns) by using "magic 6", which will be described later.

A lottery for a treasure excavation icon based on a predetermined probability is performed each turn targeting characters with which the treasure excavation icon can be associated. Here, characters with which treasure excavation icons can be associated are event characters and mommy mobs who have not won the trick event lottery. However, event characters and mummy mobs already associated with treasures are also excluded from the treasure excavation icon lottery.

If the relic dig icon draw determines that one or more teammates will be associated with a relic dig icon, then it is determined what type of relic dig icon is associated. There are three types of treasure excavation icons: "regular treasure excavation icon", "rare treasure excavation icon", and "legendary treasure excavation icon". Of these, the "Legendary Treasure Excavation Icon" is definitely associated with the teammate to whom the Treasure Excavation Icon has been determined by satisfying specific acquisition conditions for each Legendary Treasure, which will be described later. If you meet this specific acquisition condition, the next time the treasure digging icon is displayed, it will always be the "Legendary treasure digging icon". After that, the Legendary Artifact Excavation icon will continue to appear until you practice and excavate the Legendary Artifact with a teammate that has the "Legendary Artifact Icon" associated with it.

If it is decided to associate a teammate with an Artifact Excavation Icon, but not with a "Legendary Artifact Excavation Icon" for that teammate, the "Normal Artifact Excavation Icon" or "Rare Artifact Excavation Icon" Which one is to be associated is determined by lottery based on probability.

FIG. 14 shows an example of a treasure excavation icon lottery table TBL101 for determining which of the "normal treasure excavation icon" and the "rare treasure excavation icon" should be associated. As shown in FIG. 14, according to the attribute (type) of the target character (event character, mommy mob) to which the treasure excavation icon is determined to be associated, the occurrence probability of the "normal treasure excavation icon" and the "rare treasure excavation icon" are determined. The occurrence probability of each icon is set.

Here, the event character is associated with any attribute of "player", "girlfriend", "partner", or "staff". Although there is also an attribute "player and girlfriend", for example, "player and girlfriend" is treated as "player" (or may be treated as "she"). In addition, for event characters with the attribute "athlete", the occurrence probability is set by dividing them into "athlete (one type of good practice)" and "athlete (two types of good practice)" according to the number of favorite practices. there is A dual-wielding event character having both fielder's favorite practice and pitcher's favorite practice is treated as a "player (two types of favorite practice)". In this embodiment, an event character with one type of good practice has a higher probability of appearing a rare treasure excavation icon than an event character with two types of good practice. Also, the event character with the attribute "she" has the highest appearance probability of the rare treasure excavation icon. The treasure excavation icon lottery table TBL101 in FIG. 14 is an example, and any occurrence probability can be set.

After repairing one of the Pyramid's chambers, the "Treasure Room", the probability of the occurrence of the "Rare Treasure Excavation Icon" will be higher than before the repair of the "Treasure Room" has been completed. The treasure excavation icon lottery table TBL101 in FIG. 14 is before the restoration of the "treasure box" is completed. +20%”, while the occurrence probability of all “normal treasure excavation icons” in the table becomes “-20%”.

(hidden treasure)
Next, the details of the hidden treasure will be explained.
There are 11 types of treasures: "normal treasures", 8 "rare treasures", and 2 "legendary treasures". By practicing with a teammate associated with a "regular treasure digging icon", that teammate will be associated with a "regular treasure". Also, by practicing together with a teammate associated with a "rare treasure excavation icon", the teammate will be associated with one of the eight "rare treasures". The type of "rare treasure" associated with a teammate is determined according to the type (favorite practice or attribute) of the event character who is the teammate, as will be described later. Also, by practicing together with a teammate associated with a "Legendary Treasure Excavation Icon", the teammate will be associated with one of the two "Legendary Treasures". The type of Legendary Artifact associated with your teammate is determined by which of the two Legendary Artifact requirements you meet.

FIG. 15 shows an example of treasure table TBL102. The treasure table TBL 102 includes "treasure ID", "rarity", "treasure name", "character type", "repair turn", "treasure state", "type of experience points", "experience points", and "magnification". including fields such as The treasure ID is identification information for uniquely identifying each treasure. The "rarity" field stores information on the rarity of each treasure ("ordinary treasure", "rare treasure" or "legendary treasure"). Information on the name of each treasure is stored in the "treasure name" field.

The "character type" field stores information designating the type of character with which each rare artifact is associated (event character's specialty practice or attribute, mummy mob). For example, in the case of "Treasure R1", the "character type" field stores "strike" and "control". In this case, "treasure R1" indicates that association is limited to event characters whose specialty is "strike" or "control". In other words, if an event character having "strike" or "control" as a good practice is associated with a "rare treasure excavation icon", when a rare treasure excavation event occurs, the event character will always be associated with "treasure R1". will be Similarly, for “treasure R2,” “treasure R3,” “treasure R4,” “treasure R5,” and “treasure R6,” the favorite exercises “strength or fastball” and “strength or fastball,” respectively, stored in the “character type” field Baserunning or breaking ball", "shoulder strength or stamina", "defense", and "mental" event characters are associated with each other.

In addition, "treasure R7" is associated only with event characters having the attribute "she" stored in the "character type" field. "Treasure R8" is associated only with the event character of the attribute "buddy or staff" stored in the "character type" field, or "mommy mob".

On the other hand, for normal artifacts and legendary artifacts, the type of character associated with them is not limited, and associations can be made for all event characters and mommy mobs.

The "Repair Turn" field stores information about the number of turns after the artifact is associated with a teammate until the artifact is fully repaired. Here, the number of turns until the repair of the treasure is completed refers to the number of turns (in other words, the number of times the hero character practices together) with the teammate associated with the treasure. For example, in the case of the normal treasure "Haihou N", the number of repair turns is "3", and after the "Haihou N" is associated with a teammate, it will be used together with the teammate three times (for 3 turns). With practice, the repair of "Treasure N" will be completed. In this embodiment, the number of repair turns for normal artifacts is "3", and the number of repair turns for rare artifacts and legendary artifacts is "5".

The "relic status", "experience point type", "experience point", and "multiplier" fields are fields that store information about each relic's "storage or discharge effect". The "type of experience points" field stores information on the type of experience points that are subject to the effects of each treasure. Information on the state ("absorption" or "release" state) that each treasure can take is stored in the "state of treasure" field. In the "experience point" field, information on the percentage of experience points that are absorbed into the storage point when the artifact is in the "absorption" state (indicates what percentage of the experience points acquired in practice is absorbed into the storage point) information) is stored. In addition, in the "experience point" field, information on the number of points released from the storage point is stored when the artifact is in the "release" state. The "magnification" field stores information on a magnification for increasing the amount of experience points absorbed into the storage point when the artifact is in the "absorption" state. In addition, in the "magnification" field, when the artifact is in the "discharge" state, the information of the magnification for increasing the experience points that can be obtained by releasing the storage points is stored.

A relic's "drain" or "discharge" effects only affect the kind of experience points that can be earned from the practice performed. For example, if you execute a "hitting" exercise (select the "hitting" option P511), you can acquire three types of experience points: "strength", "skill" and "spirit", so only the three types of experience points is subject to "absorption" or "release" effects. Similarly, if a "strength" exercise is performed, only experience points for "strength" and "spirit" are subject to the effect. Also, when the "running base" practice is executed, only the experience points of "strength" and "agility" are subject to the above effects. Also, when the "shoulder strength" exercise is executed, only the experience points of "strength", "agility" and "technique" are subject to the above effects. Also, when a "defensive" practice is performed, only experience points for "agility,""technique," and "spirit" are subject to the above effects. Also, when "mental" practice is performed, only experience points for "skill" and "spirit" are subject to the above effects.
Also, depending on the type of Artifact, not all types of experience points that can be earned from the practice performed are eligible, but some types are limited to some of them. The effects of "absorption" and "emission" are described below for each type of artifact.

In the treasure table TBL102, when the ordinary treasure "hiho N" is in the "absorption" state, the "experience point type" field is "all experience points", and the "experience point" field is "5%" and "magnification". "1" is set in the field. In this case, there is an effect that ``5% of all types of experience points that can be obtained through practice are absorbed into the storage points''.
To give an example, by selecting the exercise item "Strength" with a teammate associated with "Treasure N" in the "Absorbed" state, 100 points of muscle strength and 100 points of spirit should be given. , and the current storage point is assumed to be 200 points. Here, the experience points to be imparted are experience points that do not include the effects of "absorption" or "release". In this case, due to the storage processing based on the effect of "Treasure N" in the "Absorbed" state, 5% of each of 100 points in physical strength and 100 points in spirit, "a total of 10 points of 5 points in physical strength and 5 points in spirit" is common to all types. are added together to the storage point of This results in 210 (=200+10) storage points. Also, the experience points that the user can acquire (given to the main character) are 95 (=100-5) points for physical strength and 95 (=100-5) points for mental strength, excluding the amount stored (absorbed) as storage points. becomes.

Also, if the "treasure N" is in the "discharge" state, "all experience points" in the "experience point type" field, "10 points" in the "experience point" field, and "1" in the "magnification" field. is set. In this case, there is an effect that ``a maximum of 10 points each is released from the storage points and added to all types of experience points that can be obtained through practice''. Here, "maximum n points (at each time) are released from the storage point" means that n points (at each time) are released when there are enough storage points to release n points (at each time), but there are not enough storage points. If it is, it means that the number of points emitted will be less than n points (by one).
To give an example, by selecting the exercise item "strength" with a teammate associated with "treasure N" in the "discharge" state, 100 points of muscle strength and 100 points of spirit should be given. , and the current storage point is assumed to be 200 points. In this case, 10 points are released from the storage points (total 20 points) by the release processing based on the effect of 'Release' state 'Treasure N', and 10 points are added to the physical strength points and mental points that can be obtained through practice. is added. As a result, the experience points that the user can acquire (given to the main character) are 110 (=100+10) physical strength points and 110 (=100+10) mental points. Also, the storage point is 180 (=200-20) points after subtracting the released amount.

Also, in the treasure table TBL102, when the rare treasure "treasure R1" is in the "absorbed" state, the "experience point type" field is "skill point", and the "experience point" field is "50%" and "magnification". "1" is set in the field. In this case, there is an effect of "absorbing 50% of technical points acquired through practice into the reserve points". This effect only targets "tech points", and experience points other than "tech points" cannot be stored (absorbed).
To give an example, by selecting the practice item "Mental" with a teammate associated with "Treasure R1" in the "Absorbed" state, 100 technical points and 100 mental points should be given. , and the current storage point is assumed to be 200 points. In this case, 50% of the 100 technology points to be absorbed, or 50 technology points, is added to the storage points common to all types by the storage processing based on the effect of the 'hidden treasure R1' in the 'absorbed' state. This results in 250 (=200+50) storage points. Also, the experience points that the user can acquire (given to the main character) are 50 technical points (=100-50) and 100 mental points, excluding the accumulated points.

In addition, when the rare treasure "Treasure R1" is in the "Released" state, "Technical points" in the "Experience point type" field, "50 points" in the "Experience point" field, and "1" in the "Magnification" field .4” is set. In this case, there is an effect that ``up to 50 points are released from the storage points, the released points are multiplied by 1.4, and added to the skill points that can be obtained through practice.'' This effect only targets "tech points", and experience points other than "tech points" are not subject to release.
To give an example, by selecting the practice item "Mental" with a teammate associated with "Treasure R1" in the "release" state, 100 technical points and 100 mental points should be given. , and the current storage point is assumed to be 200 points. In this case, 50 points will be released from the storage point by the release processing based on the effect of "Release" state "Treasure R1", and 70 points, which is 1.4 times 50 points, will be added only to the technical points that can be obtained through practice. be done. As a result, the experience points that the user can obtain (given to the main character) are technical 170 (=100+70) points and mental 100 points. Also, the storage point is 150 (=200-50) after the amount released is subtracted.

The rare treasures "Secret treasures R2" to "Secret treasures R4" differ from "Secret treasures R1" only in the type of experience points to be stored (absorbed) or released. Effective.

Also, in the treasure table TBL102, when the rare treasure "treasure R5" is in the "absorbed" state, the "experience point type" field contains "skill points and strength points", the "experience point" field contains "25%", "1" is set in the "magnification" field. In this case, there is an effect that ``25% of the skill points and muscle strength points obtained through practice are absorbed into the storage points''. The target of this effect is only "skill points and strength points", and other experience points cannot be stored (absorbed).
To give an example, by selecting the exercise item "shoulder strength" with a teammate associated with "hiho R5" in the "absorption" state, 100 points for technique, 100 points for strength, and 100 points for agility are given. Suppose the current stockpile is 200 points, calculated as experience points to be made. In this case, "technical 25 points" and "muscular strength 25 points", which are 25% of the 100 technical points and 100 muscular strength points to be absorbed, are collectively added to the pooled points common to all types. This results in 250 (=200+25+25) storage points. The experience points that the user can acquire (given to the main character) are technical 75 (=100-25) points, physical strength 75 (=100-25) points, and agility points, excluding the accumulated points. 100 points.

Also, if the rare treasure "Hallow R5" is in the "release" state, the "experience point type" field is "skill points and strength points", the "experience point" field is "25 points", and the "magnification" field is is set to "1.2". In this case, there is an effect that ``up to 25 points are released from the storage points, and each released score is multiplied by 1.2, and added to the technical points and muscle strength points that can be obtained through practice, respectively.'' The target of this effect is only "skill points and strength points", and other experience points are not subject to release.
To give an example, by selecting the exercise item "shoulder strength" with a teammate associated with "hiho R5" in the "release" state, 100 points for technique, 100 points for strength, and 100 points for agility are given. Suppose the current stockpile is 200 points, calculated as experience points to be made. In this case, 25 points each (total of 50 points) are released from the storage point by the release processing based on the effect of "Release" state "Treasure R6", and 30 points, which is 25 points multiplied by 1.2, is obtained through practice. It is added to the technical points and strength points that can be done. As a result, the experience points that the user can acquire (given to the main character) are technical 130 (=100+30) points, physical strength 130 (=100+30) points, and agility 100 points. Also, the storage point is 150 (=200-50) after the amount released is subtracted.

The rare artifact "treasure R6" is different from the "treasure R5" only in the type of experience points to be stored (absorbed) or released, and has the same effect as the above-described "treasure R5".

Also, in the treasure table TBL102, when the rare treasure "treasure R7" is in the "absorbed" state, the "experience point type" field is set to "maximum earned experience point", and the "experience point" field is set to "50%", ""1.2" is set in the Magnification field. In this case, the effect is to "reduce 50% of the type of experience points that can be acquired most in that practice, and absorb the reduced amount by 1.2 times into the reserve points".
To give an example, by selecting the practice item "shoulder strength" with a teammate associated with "hiho R7" in the "absorption" state, 100 skill points, 100 strength points, and 200 agility points are given. Suppose the current stockpile is 200 points, calculated as experience points to be made. In this case, "dexterity points" are the type of experience points that can be earned the most for the exercise. Therefore, 50% of the 200 agility points (100 points) are reduced by the storage processing based on the effect of the "hidden treasure R7" in the "absorption" state, and 120 points, which is 1.2 times the reduced 100 points, It is added to the storage point common to all types. This results in 300 (=200+100) storage points. Also, the experience points that the user can acquire (given to the main character) are 100 technical points, 100 physical strength points, and 100 agility points (=200-100).

Also, if the rare treasure "Treasure R7" is in the "Release" state, the "Experience point type" field is "Maximum acquisition points", the "Experience point" field is "50 points", and the "Magnification" field is "1.5" is set. In this case, the effect is to "release a maximum of 50 points from the stockpile, multiply the released points by 1.5, and add to the type of experience points that can be earned most in that exercise."
To give an example, by selecting the exercise item "shoulder strength" with a teammate associated with "hiho R7" in the "release" state, 100 points for technique, 100 points for strength, and 200 points for agility are given. Suppose the current stockpile is 200 points, calculated as experience points to be made. In this case, "dexterity points" are the type of experience points that can be earned the most for the exercise. Therefore, 50 points are released from the storage point by the release processing based on the effect of "Treasure R7" in the "release" state, and 75 points, which is 50 points multiplied by 1.5, is added only to the agility points that can be obtained in practice. be. As a result, the experience points that the user can acquire (given to the main character) are 100 technical points, 100 physical strength points, and 275 (=200+75) agility points. Also, the storage point is 150 (=200-50) after the amount released is subtracted.

Regarding the effect of "hiho R7", if there are multiple types of experience points that can be acquired most in the practice (for example, in the above example, the technical points, strength points, and agility points points, etc.), a randomly selected type of experience points therefrom is subject to the storage process or the release process.

In the treasure table TBL102, when the rare treasure "treasure R8" is in the "absorbed" state, the "experience point type" field is set to "all experience points", and the "experience point" field is set to "25%" and "magnification". ' field is set to '1'. In this case, there is an effect that 25% of the total experience points acquired through practice are absorbed into the storage points.
To give an example, by selecting the exercise item "Strength" with a teammate associated with "Treasure R8" in the "Absorbed" state, 100 points of muscle strength and 100 points of spirit should be given. , and the current storage point is assumed to be 200 points. In this case, due to the storage processing based on the effect of the "Absorbed" state "Treasure R8", 25% of each of the 100 points of physical strength and 100 points of mental strength, "a total of 50 points of 25 points of physical strength and 25 points of mental strength" is common to all types. are added together to the storage point of This results in 250 (=200+50) storage points. Also, the experience points that the user can acquire (given to the main character) are 75 (100-25) points for physical strength and 75 (100-25) points for spirit, excluding the points that have been stored (absorbed) as reserve points. .

Also, if the rare treasure "Treasure R8" is in the "Release" state, the "Experience point type" field is "All experience points", the "Experience point" field is "25 points", and the "Magnification" field is " 1.2” is set. In this case, ``Release a maximum of 25 points each from the storage points to add to all types of experience points that can be acquired through practice, multiply each released point by 1.2, and obtain all types of experience points that can be acquired through practice. Add to each point" effect.
To give an example, by selecting the exercise item "Strength" with a teammate associated with "Release" state "Treasure R8", 100 points of muscle strength and 100 points of spirit should be given. , and the current storage point is assumed to be 200 points. In this case, 25 points each (total of 50 points) are released from the storage point by the release processing based on the effect of "Release" state "Treasure R8", and 30 points, which is 25 points multiplied by 1.2, is obtained through practice. It is added to the strength points and mental points that can be done. As a result, the experience points that the user can acquire (given to the main character) are 130 (=100+30) points for physical strength and 130 (=100+30) points for spirit. Also, the storage point is 150 (=200-50) after the amount released is subtracted.

Multiple rare artifacts of the same type cannot coexist. In other words, if one of your teammates is associated with a rare artifact, no other teammate will be associated with the same type of rare artifact until the rare artifact is returned. For example, assuming that two event characters (referred to as "she characters") with the attribute "she" are set in the event deck, if one of her characters is associated with "hiho R7", the other Her character can only be associated with the common artifact "Hallow N". Coexistence of different types of rare artefacts is allowed. For example, when one of your teammates is associated with "Treasure R1", another teammate is associated with a rare treasure other than "Treasure R1" (any of "Treasure R2" to "Treasure R8"). is allowed.

In addition, in the treasure table TBL102, only "absorption" is set in the "treasure state" field of the legendary treasure "treasure L1". In other words, "treasure L1" cannot be changed from the "absorption" state to the "release" state by magic, and can only be in the "absorption" state.
The ``experience point type'' field of the ``treasure L1'' is set to ``all experience points'', the ``experience point'' field is set to ``100%'', and the ``magnification'' field is set to ``2''. In this case, there is an effect that ``100% of the total experience points obtained through practice are doubled and absorbed into the storage points''.
To give an example, by selecting the exercise item "strength" with a teammate associated with the legendary treasure "treasure L1", 100 points of muscle strength and 100 points of spirit are calculated as experience points to be given. , the current bank point is 200 points. In this case, a total of 400 points, ie, twice the physical strength of 100 points and the mental 100 points, are added together to the storage points common to all types by the storage processing based on the effect of "treasure L1". This results in 600 (=200+400) storage points. In this case, since 100% of the total experience points to be acquired in the practice are to be stored, there is no experience point (given to the main character) that the user can acquire in the practice.

In addition, a specific acquisition condition is set for the legendary treasure "treasure L1". In the present embodiment, the acquisition condition for "treasure L1" is to complete the restoration of three rooms in the pyramid. As will be described later, there are six rooms in the pyramid, and the condition for obtaining "treasure L1" is satisfied when three of the rooms are restored. Also, after that, if all six rooms of the pyramid are repaired, the acquisition condition for "treasure L1" is satisfied again. When the acquisition condition of "treasure L1" is satisfied, the teammate to whom the treasure excavation icon is determined to be associated is then associated with the "legendary treasure excavation icon" with certainty. Then, if you practice together with a teammate associated with this “legendary treasure excavation icon”, the teammate will be associated with the legendary treasure “secret treasure L1”.

It should be noted that effects other than the absorption or emission effects described above can be set for each artifact. For example, each artifact may have the effect of reducing the amount of physical strength loss (or increasing the amount of physical strength recovery) when a practice command is executed. Also, each artifact may have the effect of reducing the injury rate compared to when there is no artifact. Effects other than absorption and emission may be the same for all rarities, or the higher the rarity, the higher the effect.

In addition, in the treasure table TBL102, nothing is set in the "treasure state" field of the legend treasure "treasure L2", and "treasure L2" itself does not have the aforementioned "absorption" or "release". No effect. On the other hand, unlike other treasures, "treasure L2" has the effects of other treasures (absorption, release, physical strength Recovery, injury rate reduction, etc.) is set to double.
Here, "the artifact is at the practice location" refers to a state in which the artifact is associated with a teammate associated with the exercise (exercise option).

In addition, specific acquisition conditions are set for the Legend Treasure “Treasure L2”. In the present embodiment, the acquisition condition for "Treasure L2" is to return 20 Treasures. Every time 20 treasures are returned, the acquisition condition for "treasure L2" is satisfied, so it is possible to satisfy the acquisition condition multiple times. When the acquisition condition of "treasure L2" is satisfied, a "legendary treasure excavation icon" is definitely associated with the teammate to whom the treasure excavation icon is determined to be associated after that. Then, if you practice together with a teammate associated with this “legendary treasure excavation icon”, the teammate will be associated with the legendary treasure “secret treasure L2”.

Once a Legendary Artifact is associated with one of your teammates, the same Legendary Artifact will not be associated with any other teammate until the Legendary Artifact is returned. For example, if a certain teammate is associated with the Legendary Treasure "Treasure L1", even if the acquisition conditions for "Treasure L1" are met again, "Treasure L1" will not be associated with another teammate, and " It will be put on hold until the Treasure L1 is returned. The same is true when a teammate is associated with Legendary Artifact “Treasure L2”. Note that "treasure L1" and "treasure L2" are of different types, so coexistence of the two is permitted.

As mentioned above, depending on the type of treasure, the types of experience points that are subject to the effect of "absorption" or "release" are limited (for example, "treasure R1" is "technical point", "treasure R2" is " strength point”, etc.). Therefore, when a practice is performed in which no experience points of the type targeted by the artifacts in the practice area are acquired, neither the "absorption" nor the "release" effect occurs. In other words, it is important for the effect of the artifact to be effective that you choose a practice item option that allows you to acquire the type of experience points that the artifact is intended for. The user is required to determine not only whether or not there is a hidden treasure at the practice location, but also whether or not the practice at the practice location can obtain the type of experience points for which the treasure is effective. increase.

Also, each treasure is assigned a rank from 1 to 5. The rank increases in order from 1 to 5, and the higher the rank of the treasure, the greater the amount of magical power recovered when the treasure is returned. Also, the higher the rank of the artifact, the greater the amount of bonus XP earned when returning the artifact.

The rank of the treasure is fixed at "4" for the legendary treasure L1 and fixed at "5" for the legendary treasure L2. The rank of these non-legendary artifacts (ie, common artifacts and rare artifacts) is determined based on the attribute (type) of the event character with which the artifact is associated. In this embodiment, the treasure rank associated with the event character with the attribute "she" is "3". Also, the rank of the treasure associated with the event character of the attribute "partner" or "athlete (one type of good practice)" is "2". Also, the rank of the treasure associated with the event character of the attribute "athlete (two types of good practices)" or "staff" is "1". Also, the rank of treasure associated with Mummy Mob is "1".

In the case of a scenario-specific and predetermined event character (hereafter referred to as a "scenario-affiliated event character"), there is preferential treatment of treasure ranks. That is, the rank of the treasure associated with the scenario-affiliated event character is obtained by adding "1" to the above rank. For example, the treasure rank associated with the event character belonging to the scenario with the attribute "she" is "4 (=3+1)".

FIG. 16 shows a practice screen G900 in which a treasure P903 in the "absorbed" state exists at a practice location (a teammate associated with the treasure P903 in the "absorbed" state is associated with the currently temporarily selected practice). It is a figure which shows an example.
In FIG. 16, the option P510 of the exercise item "strength" is provisionally selected, and four teammates "event character IA", "event character IB", "mob character MB" and "mob character MB" are placed at the training place of "strength". It shows an example in which there is an event character ID. Here, "Treasure N" is associated with the event character IA, "Treasure R2" is associated with the event character IB, and "Treasure R7" is associated with the event character ID.

Artifacts P903 associated with teammates are displayed on the screen to indicate whether their current state is "absorbed" or "discharged." In the example of FIG. 16, each treasure P903 is displayed in association with an arrow part P904 indicating the "absorbed" state. When the state of the treasure P903 is "discharged", a part P908 (see FIG. 17) with an arrow pointing in the opposite direction to that of the part P904 is displayed.
In this embodiment, arrow parts P904 and P908 are used to indicate whether the treasure P903 is in the state of "absorption" or "release", but the present invention is not limited to this, and "absorption" is used. It is sufficient that the display state of the treasure P903 is different between the state and the "discharge" state. For example, the color or shape of the treasure P903 may be changed between the "absorption" state and the "release" state, or different characters or symbols may be added to the treasure P903 between the "absorption" state and the "release" state. .

A treasure P903 associated with a teammate is displayed in association with a part P905. This part P905 indicates the number of remaining turns until the repair of the treasure P903 is completed. In the example of FIG. 16, the number of parts P905 displayed in "Treasure N" is "3", the number of parts P905 displayed in "Treasure R2" is "5", and the number of remaining repair turns of "Treasure N" is 3. It indicates that the number of remaining repair turns of "Treasure R2" is 5. The number of repair turns remaining is essentially reduced by one each time you practice with a teammate with which the artifact P903 is associated. If a "treasure tag" event, which will be described later, occurs, the repair of treasure P903 that caused the event will advance by two turns in one practice session.

The treasure P903 whose number of remaining repair turns is 0 disappears from the display of the part P905, and the display state indicates that the repair is completed. In this embodiment, an effect is displayed such that the treasure P903 that has been restored shines. “Treasure R7” in FIG. 16 is treasure P903 that has been restored.
In the present embodiment, whether or not the treasure P903 has been repaired is indicated by the presence or absence of display of the part P905 and the effect display. It is sufficient if the display state of the treasure P903 differs depending on the state.

The display area A906 displays information on the amount of absorption (increased amount) or the amount of release at the storage point when the exercise item is selected. That is, information on points absorbed as storage points or points released from storage points due to the effect of "absorption" or "discharge" of experience points by at least one treasure P903 in the currently temporarily selected practice location. is displayed. In the example of FIG. 16, "Absorption 220" is displayed in the display area A906, and by confirming the selection of the currently temporarily selected practice location (practice item), a total of 220 points are absorbed into the storage point ( addition). Here, the effect of absorbing 220 points is the combined effect of each of the three treasures P903 in the practice area.

In the display area A502, the amount of experience points that should be obtained when the exercise is selected is displayed, not including the effects of "absorption" or "discharge" of experience points by the treasure P903. In the example of FIG. 16, by selecting the option P511 of the practice item "strike", the experience points that can be obtained without including the effect of "absorption" or "release" by the treasure P903 are "muscle strength 100 points", " By looking at the display area A502, it can be seen that there are 200 technical points and 100 mental points.

Also, in a display area A907 on the right side of the display area A502, the amount of decrease or increase in experience points that can be obtained by the effect of "absorption" or "discharge" of experience points by the treasure P903 is displayed. That is, display area A907 displays the amount of decrease or increase in experience points associated with interaction (absorption or release) with the reservoir. As mentioned above, only the type of experience points that can be earned in the exercise performed is subject to the effects of artifact P903's "absorbing" or "releasing" experience points. Also, the amount of decrease or increase in experience points displayed in the display area A907 reflects the effect of "absorption" or "release" of all treasures P903 present in the practice area. In the example of FIG. 16, if the option P511 of the "hitting" practice is selected, the effect of "absorption" of experience points by the three treasures P903 will result in -55 strength points, -110 skill points, and -5 mental points. This can be seen by looking at the display area A907.

In the case of the example of FIG. 16, if the option P511 of the "batting" practice is selected, 45 points for physical strength (=100-55), 90 points for skill (=200-110), and 95 points for mental strength (=100-5) are given. 220 points are added to the storage points common to all types. It should be noted that the amount of stored points absorbed in the display area A906 does not match the total amount of negative experience points that can be obtained in the display area A907 due to the effect of "hiho R7" in the "absorption" state. , because it is multiplied by the increase in storage points when absorbing experience points.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of a practice screen G900 in which a treasure P903 in a "released" state exists at a practice location (a teammate associated with a treasure P903 in a "released" state exists). In the practice screen G900 of FIG. 16, when the magic that puts all treasures in the "discharge" state is used, the practice screen G900 of FIG. 17 appears. In FIG. 17, each of the three treasures P903 is displayed in association with an arrow part P908 indicating the "release" state.

"Release 130" is displayed in the display area A906 of FIG. 17, and a total of 130 points will be released from the storage point by confirming the selection of the currently temporarily selected practice location (practice item). is shown. Here, the effect of releasing 130 points is the combined effect of each of the three treasures P903 in the "release" state at the practice location.

In the case of FIG. 17, since the option P511 of the "hitting" exercise is tentatively selected, the accumulated points can be extracted as three kinds of experience points of "strength", "skill" and "spirit". In the display area A907, 70 points for strength, 75 points for technique, and 10 points for spirit are added to the experience points (experience points described in display area A502) that can be obtained in the practice due to the effect of "release" of the three treasures P903. It is displayed that you can get it by The reason why the discharge amount of the storage point described in the display area A906 and the total experience points that can be acquired described in the display area A907 do not match is that the This is because there is a multiplier that increases experience points when points are released.

The user can obtain the type and amount of experience points that can be obtained, not including the effect of "absorption" or "release" by the treasure P903, displayed in the display area A502, and the " With reference to the amount of decrease or increase in experience points based on the effect of "absorb" or "release", consider whether to confirm the currently tentatively selected exercise option. The user also refers to the information on the amount of absorption (increased amount) or the amount of release at the storage point when the exercise item is selected, which is displayed in the display area A906, and selects the currently provisionally selected exercise option. Consider whether to confirm. By switching the practice options P511 to P516 to be provisionally selected, the teammates and treasures P903 present at the practice location change, and the types of experience points that can be obtained in the practice also change. Therefore, the user considers options to be confirmed while switching the options P511 to P516 to be provisionally selected.

By practicing, a certain amount of magical power is recovered. In addition, during practices where artifacts are returned, an amount of magical power is recovered according to the rank of the artifact being returned. As exemplified in FIGS. 16 and 17, the magic power gauge displayed in the display area A802 flashes the expected increase in magic power P909 when the provisionally selected exercise is performed.

(Treasure tag event)
A special training event called "Treasure Tag Event" will occur if you practice tag at a practice location with 2 or more artifacts (in other words, practice with 2 or more teammates who have artifacts). do. When a Treasure Tag Event occurs, it has the effect that the target Treasure in the practice area will be repaired faster than if the event did not occur. Specifically, when a treasure tag event occurs at a practice location with two or more artifacts, the repair of the two or more artifacts advances two turns in one practice session.

Also, if a treasure tag event occurs at a practice location with 2 or more treasures, and the treasure is returned during that practice, the amount of magical power recovered by returning the treasure will be the same as if the treasure tag event did not occur. has the effect of increasing more than Regarding the amount of magical power recovered in this case, the larger the number of treasures that caused the treasure tag event, the larger the amount of magical power recovered.

Also, when a treasure tag event occurs, bonus experience points can be obtained in addition to the experience points that can be obtained when the event does not occur. Regarding this bonus experience point, the more artifacts that have triggered the treasure tag event, the more bonus experience points are gained. Also, the higher the rank of each artifact that triggered the Treasure Tag event, the more bonus experience points you get.

The bonus experience points from the treasure tag event are included in the experience points that should be earned in the practice displayed in the display area A502 of FIGS. In other words, bonus experience points earned by treasure tag events are also included in the experience points subject to "absorption" or "release" processing by artifacts.

A practice option with two or more treasures at the practice location is displayed in a state different from the other options, and a notification that a treasure tag event is scheduled to occur is made. In the examples of FIGS. 16 and 17, the command buttons of the option P511 for the "hitting" practice and the option P516 for the "mental" practice are illuminated, and an advance notice of the occurrence of the treasure tag event is performed.

(Return of Treasure)
If you practice at a practice location where the repaired treasure P903 exists (in other words, practice with a teammate with whom the repaired treasure P903 is associated), the repaired treasure P903 will appear in the pyramid. be returned. In the case of the example of FIG. 16, since the restoration of "treasure R7" has been completed, if the selection of option P511 is confirmed, an event in which "treasure R7" is returned occurs. Returning the artifact triggers the effects of restoring magical power, gaining bonus experience points, and repairing the pyramid room as described above.

A predetermined amount of magical power is recovered by practicing, but the amount of magical power recovered by returning treasures is greater. For example, practice restores the magical power parameter value by "5". On the other hand, in the case of returning the treasure, for example, the treasure's rank 1 is "10", rank 2 is "30", rank 3 is "50", rank 4 is "80", and rank 5 is "100". .

Regarding the acquisition of bonus experience points by returning treasures, for example, "10" for rank 1 of the treasure, "30" for rank 2, "50" for rank 3, "80" for rank 4, and "100" for rank 5. The experience points are added to all types of experience points earned in reclaiming artifact practice. The bonus experience points from this treasure return are included in the experience points that should be earned in the practice displayed in the display area A502 in FIGS. In other words, the bonus experience points earned when the artifact is returned are also included in the experience points subject to processing by "absorption" or "discharge" by the artifact.

The pyramid has 6 rooms (top, cloister, outer wall, king's chamber, treasury and basement), and if a certain treasure is returned, all the rooms of the pyramid will be restored. The progress of restoration of each room differs depending on the parameters of the returned treasure. Also, how the degree of restoration of each room progresses differs depending on whether or not it is a "particularly coveted treasure", which will be described later.
For example, the degree of restoration of each room due to the return of artifacts progresses in the order of the rarity of artifacts whose degree of restoration progresses slowly: "normal artifacts", "rare artifacts", and "legendary artifacts".

A parameter for repairing each room of the pyramid is defined as a "repair value", and each treasure is set with a "repair value". The higher the restoration value, the faster the progress of the restoration of the room when the treasure is returned. As an example, the repair value of "normal treasure" is "5", the repair value of "rare treasure" is "10", and the repair value of "legendary treasure" is "20".
Also, the restoration value may be varied according to the attribute of the event character associated with the returned treasure. For example, the repair value of "treasure associated with an event character with partner attribute" is set to "20". Also, for example, the restoration value of "treasure associated with the event character of her attribute" is set to "40". In this case, regardless of the rarity of the treasure, the repair value of the treasure associated with the buddy attribute event character is "20", and the repair value of the treasure associated with the girlfriend attribute event character is "40".

In addition, as will be described later, when the restoration of the "Corridor", which is one of the rooms of the pyramid, is completed, the restoration of the rooms other than the "Corridor" will proceed more easily.

(Pyramid room)
The details of the pyramid chambers are described below.
When the pyramid command option P809 on the main screen G800 of FIG. 11 or the pyramid button P902 on the practice screen G900 of FIG. On the pyramid screen G1000, information on each of the six rooms of the pyramid can be confirmed. The pyramid screen G1000 includes parts P1001 to P1006 indicating each room of the pyramid. Part P1001 is the top, part P1002 is the corridor, part P1003 is the outer wall, part P1004 is the king's room, part P1005 is the treasure house, and part P1006 is the basement.

Here, each room will be described using the pyramid room table TBL103 illustrated in FIG. The pyramid room table TBL103 includes fields such as "room ID", "room name", "desired treasure", "effect after restoration", "usable magic", and "restoration value". The room ID is identification information for uniquely identifying each room in the pyramid. The "room name" field stores information on the name of each room in the pyramid.

In the "particularly desired treasure" field, information of "particularly desired treasure", which is a type of treasure that facilitates restoration of the target room, is stored. Each room in the pyramid will be repaired by returning the treasure, and each time the treasure is returned, the degree of restoration (the degree of achievement until the restoration is completed) will gradually improve. How to proceed) differs depending on the type of treasure to be returned. Each room is associated (set) with a "specially desired treasure", and if the "specially desired treasure" is returned, the target room's Great progress in repair. In this embodiment, "secret treasure R7" and "secret treasure R8" are set as "especially desired treasure" common to all rooms. Other than that, the top part is ``hiho R6'', the corridor is ``hiho R5'', the outer wall is ``hiho R2'', the king's chamber is ``hiho R3'', the treasure chest is ``hiho R1'', and the basement is ``hiho R4''. It is set as a "specially desired treasure".

As mentioned above, if a certain treasure is returned, all the rooms in the pyramid will be repaired, but the room where the returned treasure is set as a "specially desired treasure" will be repaired at once compared to other rooms. move on. Specifically, the case where the rare treasure "treasure R6" is returned will be described as an example. The only room in which ``Secret treasure R6'' is set as ``Specially desired treasure'' is ``Top part''. Therefore, when "Treasure R6" is returned, the repair of the five rooms other than the "Top" progresses with a repair value of "10", while the repair of the "Top" progresses with a repair value of "40". The return of one treasure advances the repair four times as much as the other rooms.

The "effect after restoration" field stores information about the effect that occurs after the restoration of each room of the pyramid is completed. After each room has been repaired, the "post-repair effect" will continue to occur.

In this embodiment, the effect of increasing the upper limit of magical power occurs after the completion of repairing the "top". Specifically, after the repair of the "top" is completed, the continuous effect of increasing the maximum value of magical power that can be accumulated in the pyramid to "magical power 7" will be activated. In addition, after the completion of the restoration of the "corridor", a continuous effect of promoting the restoration of other rooms will be activated. For example, after the restoration of the "corridor" is completed, the restoration value applied when returning the treasure is increased by "10". In addition, after the repair of the "outer wall" is completed, when releasing from the storage point, the continuous effect of amplifying the target's experience points by 1.1 times and releasing it will be activated. In addition, after the restoration of the "King's Room" is completed, when absorbing it into the storage point, the continuous effect of amplifying and absorbing the target's experience points by 1.1 times will be activated. In addition, after the repair of the “Treasure Box” is completed, a continuous effect of increasing the probability of rare treasures occurring will be activated. For example, after completing the restoration of the "treasure box", the probability of rare artifacts occurring increases by "20%". In addition, after the repair of the "basement" is completed, the continuous effect of increasing the upper limit of the storage point will be activated. For example, after the repair of "basement" is completed, the upper limit of the storage point is increased to "2000".

The "usable magic" field stores information on magic that becomes usable (released) by completing the restoration of each room. In this embodiment, after the completion of restoration of the "top", "corridor", "outer wall", "king's room", "treasury" and "basement", "magic 1", "magic 2", "Magic 3", "Magic 4", "Magic 5", and "Magic 6" become available. Details of each magic will be described later.

The "restoration value" field stores information on the restoration value required to complete the restoration of each room. The same restoration value may be set for all rooms, or the restoration value may be different for each room.

A pyramid screen G1000 exemplified in FIG. 18 includes display areas A1011 to A1016 that respectively display information on "top", "corridor", "outer wall", "royal room", "treasury", and "basement". . In the display areas A1011 to A1016, the "room name" of each room, the "especially coveted treasure", and a repair gauge P1007 are displayed. The repair gauge P1007 is a gauge that indicates the degree of repair (repair achievement level) of the room. When the repair gauge P1007 is filled up to the maximum, the repair of the room is completed, and as described above, the effects of repair completion are activated, and the magic that can be used increases.

By selecting (tapping) parts P1001 to P1006 indicating each room of the pyramid or display areas A1011 to A1016 displaying information on each room, the "room information window" of the selected room is displayed. You can check detailed information. For example, in the "room information window", the target room's "room name", "especially desired treasure", "effect after restoration", "can be used magic", "content of usable magic ( effect of magic)" and a repair gauge P1007 are displayed. The repair gauge P1007 may be displayed only in the "room information window" without being displayed on the pyramid screen G1000.

The pyramid screen G1000 also includes a display area A1008 for displaying a magic power gauge, a magic power activation button P1009, a button P1017 for returning to the main screen, and a button P1018 for returning to the practice screen. When the magic activation button P1009 is tapped, the screen transitions to the magic selection screen G1100 illustrated in FIG. A list of currently released magic spells is displayed on the magic selection screen G1100.

(magic)
Here, each magic will be explained using the magic table TBL104 illustrated in FIG. The magic table TBL104 includes fields such as "magic ID", "magic name", "necessary magic power", "number of continuous turns", "effect of magic", and "release condition". The magic ID is identification information for uniquely identifying each magic. Information on the name of each magic spell is stored in the "magic name" field. In this embodiment, the magic names are "magic 1" to "magic 7", but the names may be names that remind one of the effects of the magic, for example. The "required magic power" field stores information on the magic power required to activate each magic power. The "number of continuous turns" field stores information on the number of turns in which the effect of the used magic continues.

Information on each magic effect is stored in the "magic effect" field. In this embodiment, the use of "Magic 1" has the effect of putting all treasures in the "discharge" state for three turns. Here, the target of the effect of "magic 1" is the artifacts (ordinary artifacts and 8 types of rare artifacts) that have an "absorption" state and an "release" state (see FIG. 15). Legendary Treasures that do not have the "Release" state are excluded from the effects of "Magic 1". When "Magic 1" is used, all artifacts (target normal artifacts and 8 types of rare artifacts) in any practice area will be in the "release" state for 3 turns.

Also, by using "Magic 2", for 3 turns, the effect of recovering 10 stamina for each treasure in the practice area during practice will occur. Also, by using "Magic 3", the effect of reducing the injury rate by 10% for each treasure in the practice area for 3 turns during practice will occur. Also, by using "Magic 4", for 3 turns, when adding the absorbed experience points to the accumulated points, the effect of amplifying by 1.5 times will occur. Also, using "Magic 5" has the effect of doubling the amount of experience points released from storage points for 3 turns. Also, by using "Magic 6", the effect of turning 3 teammates into mummies for 5 turns will occur. Here, "mommy" means changing a mob character among teammates into a specific state of "mommy mob". The three mob characters to be mummyized are randomly determined, for example. Also, by using "Magic 7", the effect of putting the normal treasure "Treasure N" into the "release" state for 3 turns will occur.

The "release condition" field stores information on the condition under which each magic is released (becomes usable). As explained in the Pyramid Room Table TBL103, for "Magic 1" to "Magic 6", the release condition is that the repair of the target pyramid room is completed, and the magic can be used until the repair of the room is completed. Can not. On the other hand, "Magic 7" has no release condition and can be used at any time.

A magic selection screen G1100 illustrated in FIG. 21 includes a display area A1101 displaying a magic power gauge and a display area A1102 displaying information on each magic currently released. A "magic name" P1103, a "required magic power" P1104, and a "magic effect" P1105 are displayed in the display area A1102 of each magic. In this embodiment, only currently released magic is displayed on the magic selection screen G1100, and only "Magic 7" is displayed at the start of the scenario. Then, each time the restoration of each room in the pyramid is completed, the amount of magical power displayed on the magic selection screen G1100 increases.

The magic power is (1) the target magic is ready to use, (2) the target magic is not currently being activated, and (3) the magic required to activate the target magic is sufficient. , can be invoked as long as all the requirements are met. There is no limit to the number of times magic can be used, and unlocked magic can be used any number of times as long as the above requirements are met. Regarding the condition (2) above, it is not possible to activate the same magic as the one currently being activated. For example, "Magic 1" cannot be activated while "Magic 1" is being activated. After the number of continuous turns of "Magic 1" that has been activated has ended, "Magic 1" can be activated again if the required magical power is sufficient.

In the magic selection screen G1100, the magic display area A1102 for which the required magical power is insufficient is, for example, grayed out so that the magic cannot be selected. In this case, a notification area P1106 in the magic display area A1102 for which the required magical power is insufficient is displayed to the effect that the magical power is insufficient.

In the magic selection screen G1100, the display area A1102 of the magic currently being activated is grayed out, for example, so that the magic cannot be selected. Then, in the notification area P1107 in the display area A1102 of the magic currently being activated, information indicating that the magic is being activated and information on the number of remaining turns for which the effect of the magic continues is displayed.

It should be noted that it is possible to activate multiple magic spells at the same time if they are different types of magic spells. For example, while activating "Magic 1", if the required magical power is sufficient, "Magic 2", "Magic 3", etc. can be activated. When multiple spells are activated at the same time, the effect of each of the multiple spells will occur.

Using magic doesn't cost a turn. In the magic selection screen G1100, the user can activate the selected magic by selecting (tapping) the display area A1102 of the magic to be activated. For example, when the user taps the display area A1102 of the magic to be activated, a pop-up for final confirmation of the activation of the magic may be displayed, and the user can select whether to activate or cancel the magic in the pop-up. Also, by tapping the close button P1109 on the magic selection screen G1100, it is possible to return to the pyramid screen G1000.

"Magic 7" is a magic that targets only normal treasure "Treasure N" and puts it in the "release" state for 3 turns. Therefore, if "Magic 7" is used, "Treasure N" at any practice location will be in the "Release" state for 3 turns, but other than "Treasure N" will not be in the "Release" state. Also, when "Magic 1" is used, for 3 turns, all the treasures (except Legendary treasures) in any practice area will be in the "Release" state, but the Legendary treasure "Hidden treasure L1" that can only take the "Absorb" state ' remains in the 'absorbed' state. In this way, on the practice screen, treasures in the "release" state and treasures in the "absorption" state may coexist.

FIG. 22 shows an example of a practice screen G900 in which artifacts in the "release" state and artifacts in the "absorb" state are mixed. In FIG. 22, at the practice place of "batting", the event character IA is associated with the "absorption" state "treasure R1", and the event characters IB and ID are associated with the "release" state "treasure N". shows an example. In this case, due to the effect of the "hidden treasure R1" in the "absorption" state, part of the technical points obtained in the "hitting" practice is absorbed into the storage points. In addition, due to the effect of "Treasure N" in the "release" state, three types of experience points, "strength", "technique" and "spirit", are released from the storage points obtained by "striking" practice. . The results of calculation of these "absorption" and "emission" effects are displayed in display area A906 and display area A907. In the example of FIG. 22, the display area A906 shows the amount "absorbed" as the storage point as a result of offsetting the amount "absorbed" as the storage point and the amount "released" from the storage point. "40" is displayed. Similarly, in the display area A907, as a result of offsetting the amount of experience points acquired by "absorption" and the amount of experience points acquired by "release", the experience points that can be acquired in the practice The experience points that can be obtained by adding (adding) to (the experience points described in the display area A502) are displayed. In the example of FIG. 22, a display area A907 displays a strength +20 point, a technical -80 point, and a mental +20 point, which are calculated based on the effects of "release" and "absorption" of three artifacts.

In this embodiment, the type of treasure associated with the same teammate can change between the start of the breeding game (start of the scenario) and the end. That is, even if a teammate's character is associated with a artifact, the association is canceled upon subsequent return of the artifact, so the same character may be associated with a different type of artifact. Event characters set in the event deck appear as teammates at each practice location, but any event character can be associated with normal treasures, rare treasures, and legend treasures, and can be trained (during the game progress). So the type of artifact associated with it can change. For example, in the turn shown in FIG. 16, the event character IA is associated with an ordinary treasure "treasure N", but after that, the "treasure N" is returned, and in the turn shown in FIG. "Treasure R1" is associated. Similarly, the event characters IB and ID are also associated with different artifacts between the turn shown in FIG. 16 and the turn shown in FIG. Even with the same event character, if the type of treasure associated with the event character changes during the progress of the game, the resulting effect will also change, thereby further enhancing the interest of the game.

As described above, in the scenario according to the present embodiment, while practicing together with teammates, excavating and repairing hidden treasures, repairing pyramid rooms, and using magic, the main character is trained by the accompanying effects. It is a scenario.

In particular, in the game of this scenario, it is possible to store at least a portion of the experience points of the types that are supposed to be earned through practice during storage as common storage points for all types. Then, at an arbitrary timing (using magic at an arbitrary timing to make the artifact emit), at least a portion of the stored points will be emitted, and as the type of experience points that the user wants to acquire (for practice at the time of emission) (as experience points of the kind that can be earned accordingly). In other words, store at least a part of the type of experience points that should be obtained in practice when storing, release it at the user's arbitrary timing, and reassign it as a different type of experience point from the time of storage at the time of release. becomes possible. Therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in allocating the user's experience points.

In order to develop the main character intended by the user, it is important to consider the balance of which type of experience points should be acquired and how much. However, in a given turn, there is a practice item that can increase the type of experience points the user wants to increase, and a practice item with good conditions (for example, although the type of experience points is not the desired type, the amount of increase is large or It may not necessarily match the practice item with the occurrence of an event). In the scenario game of the present embodiment, even in such a case, a practice item with good privilege conditions is selected, and at least part of the experience points of the type that can be acquired in the practice item is used as a common reserve point for all types. store it. The user can then retrieve the desired type of experience points from the storage points at any time. As a result, the main character can be trained as intended by the user, and the game becomes more interesting.

[3. Functional Configuration of Game System]
FIG. 23 is a schematic functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the game system 1. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 23, game system 1 includes data storage section 100 . For example, the data storage unit 100 is implemented by at least one of the database DB, ROM12, RAM13, auxiliary storage device 14, ROM32, RAM33, and auxiliary storage device . The data storage unit 100 stores data necessary for providing games.

As a specific example of the data stored in the data storage unit 100, data necessary for providing the baseball game described above will be described. The data storage unit 100 stores a user information table TBL111, a character information table TBL112, treasure-related tables TBL101 to TBL104, event deck data DT105, main character data DT106, association data DT107, game situation data DT108, and the like. Note that the treasure-related tables (treasure excavation icon lottery table TBL101, treasure table TBL102, pyramid room table TBL103, and magic table TBL104) (see FIGS. 14, 15, 19, and 20) have already been explained. , the description of which is omitted here.

For example, various data for executing a game stored in the data storage unit 100 are stored in the database DB or the auxiliary storage device 34 of the server 30, and when the game terminal 10 accesses the server 30, Required data can be downloaded to the RAM 13 or the auxiliary storage device 14 of the game terminal 10 . In addition, information about the results of games executed on the game terminal 10 and changes in data is transmitted from the game terminal 10 to the server 30 in real time or at a predetermined timing, and stored in the database DB or the auxiliary storage device 34 of the server 30. The stored data can be updated accordingly. Further, for example, necessary data is stored in the auxiliary storage device 14 of the game terminal 10 or the like so that at least a part of the game can be executed offline without logging in to the server 30 at the game terminal 10 of each user. You can leave it as is.

FIG. 24 shows an example of the user information table TBL111. A user information table TBL111 for all users registered in the game system 1 is stored in the data storage unit 100 of the game system 1 (for example, database DB, auxiliary storage device 34, etc.).

The user information table TBL111 includes fields such as "user ID", "user name", "possessed event character", "possessed item", and "development completed character". A user ID is identification information for uniquely identifying each user. The "user name" field stores the name of the user. In the "possessed event character" field, information (parameters such as character ID, ability, etc.) related to the event character acquired by the user through lottery or the like and possessed is stored. If the event character is strengthened after acquisition, information of parameters changed by the strengthening is stored. The "possessed item" field stores information about items possessed by the user. Information (parameters such as a character ID and ability) about an original character that has been trained in the training mode is stored in the "training completed character" field.
Although omitted in FIG. 24, other fields are also included in the user information table TBL111. For example, the user information table TBL 111 includes fields such as various in-game points owned by the user, user IDs of other users (friends, friends, etc.) associated with the user's user ID, battle history, and the like.

FIG. 25 shows an example of the character information table TBL112. The character information table TBL112 is master data for managing all characters handled in the game provided by the game system 1. FIG. In addition to event characters, the character information table TBL112 also includes information on scenario-specific event characters and non-event characters (mob characters) appearing as teammates. The character information table TBL112 stores initial data of all event characters as reference parameters. For example, the character information table TBL112 is stored and managed in storage devices (for example, RAM 13, auxiliary storage device 14, RAM33, auxiliary storage device 34, database DB, etc.) of the server 30 and the game terminal 10, respectively. The character information table TBL112 stored in the server 30 and the game terminal 10 are basically the same. For example, when the game management side changes the character information table TBL112 in the server 30, the changed information 30 to the game terminal 10 .

The character information table TBL112 includes fields such as "character ID", "name", "rarity", "attribute", "favorite practice", "position", "ability", and "event". A character ID is identification information for uniquely identifying each character. The "name" field stores the name of the character. Information on the rarity of the character is stored in the "rarity" field. There are event characters with the same name but different rarities. The "attribute" field stores information on attributes (player, girlfriend, partner, staff, etc.) associated with the event character. The "favorite practice" field stores information on the favorite practice associated with the event character. The "position" field stores information about the position (defensive position) of the event character. The "ability" field stores information about the ability (basic ability, special ability) of the event character. The "event" field stores unique event information associated with the event character. Although omitted in FIG. 25, other fields are also included in the character information table TBL112. For example, the character information table TBL 112 includes fields such as event character image information and initial evaluation.

The event deck data DT105 shown in FIG. 23 consists of various information regarding the event deck set based on the user's operation. For example, the event deck data DT105 includes character IDs of event characters set in the event deck.

The main character data DT106 consists of various information regarding the main character trained in the training mode. Specifically, the main character data DT 106 includes basic information such as the main character's name, position, dominant arm, batting form, and pitching form, and the experience points currently held by the main character obtained in the training mode scenario. , information on teammates' evaluation values for the hero character, and current basic and special abilities of the hero character. It should be noted that the main character data DT106 is updated each time the scenario of the training part progresses.

The association data DT107 includes information associated with the progress of the game. Specifically, "practice/teammate-related information" in which teammates are associated with each practice option (practice location), "tip event/teammate-related information" in which teammates are associated with tip events, teammates The association data DT107 includes "treasure excavation icon/teammate related information" associated with a treasure excavation icon, and "treasure/teammate related information" associated with a teammate with a treasure. These related information are updated every turn.

The game situation data DT108 also includes information about the situation in the scenario necessary for progressing the game. Specifically, current section number and current turn number information, current storage point information, information on the state (absorbed, emitted) of each artifact with which teammates are associated, and remaining until repair completion for each artifact. Information on the number of turns, information on the current repair level of each room in the pyramid, information on the current magical power, information on the magic currently being released, information on the magic currently being activated, until the effect of the magic currently being activated ends Information such as the number of remaining turns is included in the game situation data DT108. This information is updated every turn.

The game system 1, server 30, or game terminal 10 of the present embodiment provides a game in which at least one type of point out of a plurality of types of points is awarded according to the progress of the game. In the example of the baseball game described above, at least one type of experience points out of a plurality of types of experience points (strength, agility, technique, breaking ball, and mentality) is given according to practice for each turn. A game is provided.

Here, "points" are points that are earned by the user as the game progresses and can be used in the game, and represent value in the game. Use of the points is not particularly limited. For example, in a breeding game, points used to change parameters such as character abilities or to set new parameters correspond to one example. Also, for example, in a game in which an object such as a building is completed, points used to change the completed state of the object correspond to one example. In the example of the baseball game described above, experience points for changing parameters of the main character's basic abilities or acquiring special abilities correspond to an example of points.

The "user" is, for example, a person who plays a game provided by a game system. For example, user identification information is set for each user, and each user is identified (specified) by the user identification information. "User identification information" is information for uniquely identifying each user. For example, a user ID, a unique user name, an e-mail address, or the like corresponds to an example of "user identification information."

Also, "points are awarded" means that points are awarded to the user, and that the points are associated with the user's user identification information and stored in the storage device. Here, "associate" means to associate one piece of information with the other piece of information and store it. The points to be awarded may be directly associated with the user's user identification information, or may be indirectly associated with the user identification information via other game elements (objects, etc.). For example, associating points with "an object associated with user identification information" corresponds to an example of giving points to a user. In the baseball game example described above, the main character is associated with the user identification information in the game in which the user trains the main character. The experience points given according to the progress of the training game are associated with the main character (given to the main character), and the experience points are an example of the points given to the user.

Further, "progress of the game" means that the game is executed and the game progresses based on the user's operation for advancing the game. For example, in a turn-based game in which a turn progresses according to a user's operation, execution of turn processing according to a user's operation corresponds to an example of "progress of the game." It should be noted that the game is not limited to the game in which the game progresses little by little with each game progress operation by the user, but the game progresses automatically until a predetermined game situation is reached by one game progress operation by the user. It can be a simple game. In the example of the baseball game described above, the user selects a command option such as practice for each turn, and the selected process such as practice is executed to progress the game.

As shown in FIG. 23, game system 1 includes control unit 110 . The control unit 110 causes the CPU 11 of the game terminal 10 or the CPU 31 of the server 30 to execute a game program stored in a storage device (ROM 12, RAM 13, auxiliary storage device 14, ROM 32, RAM 33, or auxiliary storage device 34). It is realized by A part of the functions of the control unit 110 may be implemented by the game terminal 10 and the rest of the functions may be implemented by the server 30 . Alternatively, all functions of the control unit 110 may be implemented by the server 30 , or all functions of the control unit 110 may be implemented by the game terminal 10 .

Control unit 110 includes point granting unit 111 (one example of point granting means), point storage unit 112 (one example of point storing means), and point release unit 113 (one example of point release means).

The point giving unit 111 has a function of determining the type and amount of points to be given according to the progress of the game. In the example of the baseball game described above, the point granting unit 111 grants points according to the selected practice (hitting, strength, base running, shoulder strength, ball speed, control, stamina, breaking ball, defensive or mental practice). Determines the type and amount of experience points to be given.

Here, "the points to be given" refer to the points that the user should have earned if the later-described storage process and release process are not performed. For example, the experience points displayed in the display area A502 of the practice screen G900 shown in FIGS. 16, 17, and 22 correspond to an example of "the points to be given." If the storage process and the release process are not performed, the "said points to be given" are given to the user. On the other hand, when a storage process or a release process is performed, the stored amount is reduced from the "points to be given" or the released amount is added to the "points to be given" and given to the user. become.

In the example of the baseball game described above, the "points to be given according to the progress of the game" determined by the point giving unit 111 include the experience points normally obtained by the selected practice, as well as the selected practice. "Effects other than absorption/discharge" generated by , such as special tag training, treasure tag events, return of treasures, etc., increase experience points.

The point storage unit 112 has a function of reducing at least a portion of the points to be awarded according to the progress of the game and storing the decrement as storage points common to all types of points. . In the example of the baseball game described above, the point storage unit 112 reduces at least part of the experience points to be given according to the selected practice, and stores the reduced amount as a common storage point for all types. to run.

Here, "decrease at least part of the points to be awarded" means to reduce the points to be stored from among the "points to be awarded". The amount of points to be reduced is not particularly limited as long as it is not 0 (zero), and may be "all of the points to be given".

In addition, "storing the decrement as common points for all types of points" means that when at least part of the decrements of the points to be granted are stored, common points regardless of the type of points are stored. (in other words, converted into "storage points"). That is, points of any kind are collectively banked as "storage points". The decremented points may be stored as "stored points", or the decremented points may be increased (or decreased) and stored as "stored points" as described later. In addition, in order to use the points once stored as "storage points", the user may be allowed to freely take them out (release them) at any time (at any time), or when predetermined release possible conditions are met. It may be possible to take out the

The point release unit 113 has a function of releasing at least part of the accumulated points stored by the point storage unit 112 based on the user's operation and executing a release process to give the user the stored points. In the example of the baseball game described above, the point release unit 113 releases at least a portion of the accumulated points to the user as experience points based on the operation of practicing with a teammate associated with the released treasure. Execute the emission process to be given.

Here, "to release at least a part of the stored points and give them to the user" means that the amount of "stored points" stored by the point storage unit 112 to be released (the amount to be released) is is reduced and given to the user. The amount to be released is not particularly limited as long as it is not 0 (zero). The emitted amount may be given to the user as it is, or the emitted amount may be increased (or decreased) as described later and given to the user.

The timing of releasing the storage points (the timing at which the storage points can be taken out based on the user's operation) is not particularly limited. In the baseball game example above, experience points that are banked as reserve points on one turn may be taken out immediately on the next turn.

In the example of the baseball game mentioned above, by practicing together with a teammate to whom the released artefact is associated, the stored points are released, and the type of experience points that can be earned according to the practice is released. Experience points can be earned in the form of addition. So, in the baseball game example above, in order to release a reservoir, you would either use magical energy to put the artifact into the emitting state, or select a practice that has a teammate associated with the emitting artifact associated with it. However, the condition for such release may be eliminated so that the user can retrieve (release) the storage point at any time (at any time) by performing a predetermined release operation. . Also, it may be taken out as a different type of experience points from the type of experience points when stored. In addition, the user may arbitrarily specify the release amount of the storage point. Alternatively, all storage points may be released at once. Also, when the storage points are released, they may be taken out as experience points of the type specified by the user. Also, the release operation may be performed independently of the practice operation, so that the release process can be performed without executing the practice.

Further, the point release unit 113 provides the user with at least part of the accumulated points stored in the point storage unit 112 as the type of points corresponding to the user's operation. It has a function to execute processing.

Here, "giving to the user as the type of points corresponding to the operation" means that at least part of the accumulated points independent of the type of the points is given to the user as the type of points corresponding to the user's operation (in other words, For example, the points are converted into the type of points according to the user's operation) and given to the user. That is, based on the user's operation, the user can take out at least part of the stored points that are not dependent on the type of points as the points of the type desired by the user and use them.

In the example of the baseball game described above, the point release unit 113 releases at least a portion of the accumulated points based on the user's operation of selecting a practice, and provides a type of experience associated with the practice selected by the operation. Perform a release process that gives points (at least one kind of experience points) to the user. In this case, the user can acquire the desired type of experience points from the storage points by performing the operation of selecting the exercise associated with the desired type of experience points through the release process.

As described above, the release operation may be an operation independent of the practice operation, or the user may specify the type of experience points to be acquired during the release operation.

With the above configuration, it is possible to store at least some of the types of experience points that should be obtained as the game progresses as storage points common to all types, and retrieve them as other types of experience points. In other words, it is possible to reassign the types of experience points through the storage points common to all types.

Also, the point release unit 113 has a function of enabling execution of the release process when a predetermined release enable condition is satisfied.

Here, the “predetermined condition for permitting release” is a predetermined condition for enabling execution of the release process. Conditions for enabling release are not particularly limited, and various conditions can be set. For example, the release-enabled condition may be that the user performs a predetermined operation at any timing. In the example of the baseball game mentioned above, the fact that the user performs an operation to use magic to change the treasure state to "release" at an arbitrary timing corresponds to an example of "when a predetermined release possible condition is satisfied". . Also, "selecting a practice associated with a teammate associated with a treasure in a released state" corresponds to an example of "when a predetermined releaseable condition is satisfied".

Also, for example, the condition for enabling release may be a predetermined game situation. To give an example, in a turn-based game, completing a predetermined turn corresponds to an example of a release enable condition. In addition, in the case of a game including a plurality of stages, clearing a predetermined stage corresponds to an example of a dischargeable condition. Also, in a competitive game, winning over an opponent corresponds to an example of a dischargeable condition. Arriving at a predetermined location in the game or obtaining a predetermined object in the game is an example of a release enable condition.

Also, for example, the release enable condition may be that the game parameter is in a predetermined state. To give an example, a target character's ability parameter being equal to or greater than a predetermined value corresponds to an example of a dischargeable condition. In addition, acquisition of a predetermined special ability by the target character corresponds to an example of the release enable condition.

When the "predetermined condition for enabling release" is satisfied, the period during which the release process can be executed is not particularly limited. For example, after a "predetermined release enable condition" is satisfied, the period during which the release process can be executed may continue until the end of the game. Also, for example, after a "predetermined release enable condition" is satisfied, the release process may be executable only during a predetermined period. Here, the predetermined period may be a period based on real world time (eg, one hour, one day, etc.), or may be a period based on virtual time in the game, It may be a period until a predetermined game situation is reached, or a period until game parameters reach a predetermined state. For example, in a turn-based game, the period from when the "predetermined condition for enabling release" is satisfied until the predetermined number of turns is completed may be set as the period during which the release process can be executed. In the example of the baseball game mentioned above, the user uses magic to "release" the state of the treasure at an arbitrary timing, and then practices with the character associated with the treasure a predetermined number of times (or a predetermined number of turns). (for example, practicing together for three turns) corresponds to an example of the predetermined period.

Further, the game can be a game that progresses by the user's operation of selecting an option from a plurality of options.

Here, the "plurality of options" is not particularly limited, and various options can be adopted. For example, in a game that progresses by causing a character to be operated to perform actions, a plurality of actions to be performed by the character can be options. As an example, in a game of attacking or defending against an enemy, multiple methods of attack or defense may be available. In the example of the baseball game described above, the plurality of practice items (or practice locations) to be performed by the main character to be trained corresponds to an example of the "plurality of options." Further, for example, in the case of a game in which the player proceeds while selecting the direction and location in which the character to be operated moves, a plurality of directions and locations can be selected.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 26, the control unit 110 of the game system 1 can be configured to include an associating unit 114 (an example of associating means). The association unit 114 has a function of associating the first game element enabling the storage process or the release process with the object. In the example of the baseball game described above, the associating unit 114 associates the treasure that enables the storage process or the release process with teammate characters.

Here, the "first game element" may be, for example, a game object such as an item, character, or building, or may be a game parameter such as an attribute associated with an object. In the example of the baseball game described above, the treasure game object corresponds to an example of the "first game element".

Also, the first game element can cause "an effect that enables at least one of the storage process and the release process". That is, the first game element may be capable of producing an effect that only allows the storage process. Also, the first game element may have the effect of enabling only the release process. Also, the first game element may produce an effect that enables both the release process and the release process. In the baseball game described above, treasures (regular treasures and rare treasures) that allow both the release process and the release process, and treasures that allow only the storage process (legend treasure "hiho L1") were used. Although an example has been shown, a treasure that can only be released (a treasure that can only be released) may be used.

Also, an "object" is something that can be used in a game. For example, a game character, a game card (digital card), a game item, or the like corresponds to an example of the "object". For example, a game character or a game card representing a person such as an athlete, a creature such as a racehorse, a fictitious person or creature such as a monster, or an inanimate object such as a robot corresponds to an example of the "object". For example, the "object" may be a game character or game card corresponding to a real person or creature, or may not be a real person or the like. In the aforementioned baseball game, the teammate characters are an example of the "object".

Then, when the option associated with the object associated with the first game element is selected, the storage process by the point storage unit 112 or the release process by the point release unit 113 is executed. You may do so. In the example of the baseball game described above, when a practice option associated with a teammate associated with a treasure is selected, the storage processing by the point storage unit 112 or the release processing by the point release unit 113 is performed. executed.

According to the above configuration, in a game that progresses while selecting options such as practice, in order to execute the storage process or the release process, an object such as a teammate associated with the first game element such as treasure is required. It is required to select the associated option, which can enhance the gameplay.

Also, the first game elements include those that can take at least a first state and a second state. In the example of the baseball game described above, the ordinary treasure "Secret treasure N" and the rare treasures "Secret treasure R1" to "Secret treasure R8" are in the "absorption" state as an example of the first state and the "absorption" state as an example of the second state. It corresponds to an example of a first game element that can take a "release" state.

Here, regarding "at least a first state and a second state", the "first state" is the state of the first game element that enables the storage process, and the "second state" is the release process. However, the first game element may be in a state other than that. For example, a first game element may be in a "third state" that prevents execution of either the storage process or the release process.

Then, the point storage unit 112 may execute the storage process when the option associated with the object associated with the first game element in the first state is selected. . In the baseball game example described above, the point reservoir 112 performs the pooling process when a practice option is selected that has a teammate associated with an "absorbed" artefact.

Further, the point release unit 113 may execute the release process when the option associated with the object associated with the first game element in the second state is selected. . In the baseball game example described above, the point release unit 113 executes the release process when a practice option associated with a teammate associated with a treasure in the "released" state is selected.

As described above, by setting a condition for executing the storage process or the release process, it is possible to improve the game.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 26, the control unit 110 of the game system 1 can be configured to include a changing unit 115 (an example of changing means). The changing unit 115 has a function of changing the state of the first game element associated with the object between the first state and the second state based on the user's operation.

Here, "changing the state of the first game element between the first state and the second state" means changing the state of the first game element from the first state to the second state, or changing the state of the first game element from the second state to the first state.
In the example of the baseball game mentioned above, changing the state of the artifact associated with the teammate from the "absorption" state to the "release" state based on the operation of the user using magic (magic 1 or magic 7). corresponds to an example of "changing the state of the first game element associated with the object between the first state and the second state based on the user's operation".

In the above-mentioned baseball game, an example was shown in which the state of the treasure can be changed from the "absorbed" state to the "discharged" state by using magic. A relic's state may be changed from a "release" state to an "absorption" state. Also, by performing operations other than using magic, you can change the treasure state from "absorb" to "release" or change from "release" to "absorb" at any time. You may make it possible.

According to the above configuration, by changing the state of the treasure based on the user's operation, it is possible to arbitrarily switch between executing the storing process and executing the releasing process. can be improved.

Also, a plurality of types may be provided for the first game element. In the baseball game example above, there are 11 types of artifacts: 1 common artifact, 8 rare artifacts, and 2 legendary artifacts.

At least one of the type of points to be stored in the storing process and the amount of stored points to be stored may differ depending on the type of the first game element associated with the object. In the example of the baseball game described above, as shown in FIG. 15, in the case of, for example, an ordinary treasure "treasure N", the object to be stored is "all kinds of experience points". The amount is "5% of the experience points that would have been gained through practice." Also, for example, in the case of the rare treasure "Hiho R1", only "Technical points" are subject to storage, and the amount of stored points is "50% of the technical points that should be obtained through practice". be. As shown in FIG. 15, at least one of the type and amount of experience points that can be stored differs depending on the type of artifact associated with a teammate.

With the above configuration, it is possible to have variations in the effect when storing (the type of points to be stored or the amount of stored) depending on the type of treasure associated with teammates, thereby further enhancing the gameplay. .

Also, at least one of the type of points given to the user in the release process and the amount of points given may differ depending on the type of the first game element associated with the object. In the example of the baseball game described above, as shown in FIG. 15, for example, in the case of a normal treasure "treasure N", what is given by release is "experience points of all kinds", and the amount given is each The type is "10 points". Further, for example, in the case of the rare treasure "treasure R1", the type of experience points given by release is only "skill points", and the amount of experience points given is "50 points x 1.4". As shown in FIG. 15, at least one of the type or amount of experience points granted by release (the type or amount of experience points to be released) differs depending on the type of artifact associated with the teammate.

With the above configuration, it is possible to give variation to the effect (type or amount of experience points granted) at the time of release depending on the type of treasure associated with a teammate, thereby further enhancing the game.

Further, the association unit 114 may cancel the association between the first game element and the object when a predetermined cancellation condition is satisfied.

Here, the "predetermined cancellation condition" is a predetermined condition for canceling the association between the first game element and the object. The release condition is not particularly limited, and various conditions can be set. For example, the cancellation condition may be that the user performs a predetermined operation at any timing.
Further, for example, the release condition may be a predetermined game situation as exemplified in the above-mentioned "releasable condition", or a predetermined state of game parameters.

In the example of the baseball game described above, practicing with a teammate associated with a treasure for a predetermined number of turns (or a predetermined number of times) (for example, practicing together for 4 turns) is an example of a "predetermined release condition." Equivalent to. The association unit 114 cancels the association between the treasure and the teammate when a predetermined cancellation condition is satisfied. For example, if you practice with a teammate with "Artifact N" for 3 turns, the artifact will be repaired, and after that, if you practice together for 1 more turn (for a total of 4 turns), the artifact will be returned. occurs, and the associating unit 114 cancels the association between the treasure and the teammate.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 26, the control unit 110 of the game system 1 can be configured to include an achievement level management unit 116 (an example of achievement level management means). The achievement level management unit 116 has a function of improving the achievement level of the second game element based on the cancellation of the association by the association unit 114 .

Here, the "second game element" may be, for example, a game object such as an item, a character, or a building. There may be. In the example of the baseball game described above, the game object "pyramid room" (or the pyramid room repair rate) corresponds to an example of the "second game element".

In addition, when the second game element is a game object such as a building, the "level of achievement of the second game element" may be the level of completion of creating the game object or the level of restoration of the game object. good too. In the example of the baseball game described above, the degree of restoration of the pyramid room corresponds to an example of "the degree of achievement of the second game element". In addition, when the second game element is a game parameter having an upper limit value such as a construction rate or a repair rate, the degree of achievement of the upper limit value of the game parameter corresponds to an example of "the degree of achievement of the second game element."

In the example of the baseball game described above, the achievement management unit 116 improves the degree of restoration of the pyramid room based on the association unit 114 disassociating the artifacts from the teammates. According to this configuration, if a predetermined release condition is satisfied and the association between the treasure and the teammate is canceled (that is, if the treasure is returned), the degree of restoration of the pyramid room can be improved, It is possible to improve game performance.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 26, the control unit 110 of the game system 1 can be configured to include an effect generation unit 117 (an example of effect generation means). The effect generating section 117 has a function of generating a game effect when the degree of achievement of the second game element reaches a predetermined standard. In the example of the baseball game described above, when the pyramid room is completely repaired, the effect generation unit 117 generates the effect stored in the "Effect after completion of repair" field in FIG. ” Generates the effect of releasing magic stored in the field as a game effect. According to this configuration, if the degree of restoration of the pyramid room reaches a predetermined standard, the effect on the game is generated, so it is possible to improve the game.

Here, "producing a game effect" means to create a game situation in which the progress or result of the game is advantageous to the user.
For example, improving a game parameter or extending the time limit in a game with a time limit corresponds to an example of "generating a game effect."
Further, for example, enabling an operation or process that could not be used until the degree of achievement of the second game element reaches a predetermined standard corresponds to an example of "generating a game effect." In the present embodiment, by completing the repair of the pyramid room, an example was shown in which magic can be used (allowing the operation to use magic), but this "generates an effect on the game". corresponds to an example of
Further, for example, continuously increasing the improvement rate of the game parameter after the degree of achievement of the second game element reaches a predetermined standard corresponds to an example of "producing a game effect." In this embodiment, by completing the repair of the pyramid room, an example is shown in which the maximum value of magical power is increased after repair, or the experience points given to the user when releasing storage points are increased. However, this corresponds to an example of "generating an effect on the game".

In the above-mentioned baseball game, an example is shown in which a game effect is generated by completing the repair of the pyramid room (that is, by achieving 100% completion of the repair), but the present invention is not limited to this. . For example, even if the completion of repairing a pyramid room is less than 100%, a game effect may be triggered by reaching a predetermined criterion (eg, 80% completion of repair).

In addition, when a predetermined increase condition during storage is satisfied, the point storage unit 112 stores the points corresponding to the decrease as the storage points, and the storage points satisfy the increase condition during storage. You may make it increase more than the case where it is not. Here, the ``predetermined accumulation condition for increase'' means that at least a portion of the points to be awarded is reduced according to the progress of the game, and the reduced amount is accumulated as a common accumulation point for all types. It is a predetermined condition for increasing points more than usual. Here, increasing more than usual means increasing more than when the conditions for increase during storage are not satisfied.

In addition, when a predetermined increase condition at the time of release is satisfied, the point release unit 113 releases at least a part of the stored points and gives the points to the user as the points at the time of release. You may make it increase more than the case where an increase condition is not satisfy|filled. Here, the ``predetermined condition for increase at the time of release'' refers to a condition for releasing at least a portion of the storage points stored by the storage means and giving the points to the user based on the user's operation. It is a predetermined condition for increasing points more than usual. Here, to increase more than usual means to increase more than when the condition for increase at the time of release is not satisfied.

The condition for increase during storage or the condition for increase during release is not particularly limited, and various conditions can be set. For example, the increase condition during storage or the increase condition during release may be set by the user performing a predetermined operation at any timing.
Further, for example, the increase condition during storage or the increase condition during release may be a predetermined game situation as exemplified in the above-mentioned "releasable condition", or a game parameter may be in a predetermined state. good too.

In the example of the baseball game described above, the completion of restoration of a predetermined pyramid room (King's Chamber) corresponds to an example of the "predetermined storage increase condition" (see FIG. 19). Also, the fact that a predetermined magic (magic 4) is being used (the effect of magic is being activated) corresponds to an example of the "predetermined increase condition during storage" (see FIG. 20). In addition, selecting a practice associated with a character associated with a predetermined treasure in an absorbed state (“hiho R7”, “hiho L1”) or “hiho L2” is a “predetermined storage time increase condition”. It corresponds to an example.

Further, in the example of the baseball game described above, completion of restoration of a predetermined pyramid room (outer wall) corresponds to an example of the "predetermined increase condition at release" (see FIG. 19). Further, the fact that a predetermined magic (magic 5) is being used (the effect of magic is being activated) corresponds to an example of the "predetermined release increase condition" (see FIG. 20). In addition, selecting a practice associated with a character associated with a predetermined treasure (treasures “treasure R1” to “treasure R8”) or “treasure L2” in a release state is a “predetermined increase condition when released”. corresponds to an example of

According to the above configuration, if the storage increase condition is satisfied, the storage points are increased when storing at least part of the experience points that can be obtained, so the merit of storage is further enhanced. In addition, if the increase-on-release condition is met, the experience points earned when releasing at least a portion of the storage points will increase, so the benefits of storing and releasing will increase.

Also, the game is a game using an object, and the associating unit 114 has a function of associating a game element that can generate a game effect with the object. The game element has a plurality of types with different game effects that can be generated. has a function to change
Here, the "game element" may be, for example, a game object such as an item, a character, or a building, a game parameter such as an attribute associated with an object, or a game effect that can be generated. information. In the example of the baseball game described above, a plurality of types of hidden treasures with different game effects correspond to an example of the 'game element'.

In the example of the baseball game described above, the association unit 114 has the function of changing the type of treasure associated with the same teammate during the period from the start of the training mode game to the end of the game. That is, the same teammate can repeatedly excavate and return treasures from the start of training (the start of the scenario) to the end of the training. Therefore, the types of artifacts associated with the same teammate by the association unit 114 may vary.

For example, if a "game element" is an attribute associated with an object, the associating unit 114 can change the type of attribute associated with the same object from the start to the end of the game. Further, for example, if the "game element" is the information on the effect in the game, the association unit 114 determines the type of "information on the effect in the game" to be associated with the same object from the start to the end of the game. can change.

In general, game elements such as attributes associated with objects do not change during the progress of the game. By changing attributes and the like, it is possible to cause changes in game effects during the progress of the game. This makes it possible to improve the interest of the game.
[4. process]
Next, an example of processing executed by the game system 1 of this embodiment will be described below. Here, an example of processing of the game system 1 when executing the baseball game described above will be described.

27 to 33 are flowcharts showing an example of the processing of the game system 1, exemplifying basic processing procedures from the start to the end of the breeding mode. In the processing described below, a game program stored in a storage device (ROM 12, RAM 13, auxiliary storage device 14, ROM 32, RAM 33, or auxiliary storage device 34, etc.) is executed by the control unit 110 (CPU 11 of the game terminal 10 or server 30 is realized by the execution of the CPU 31).

First, the process is started when the user selects the breeding mode. Hereinafter, the processing when the above-mentioned scenario of excavating treasures by practicing together with teammates is selected will be described.

In S100 of FIG. 27, the control unit 110 performs a training part start process. The control unit 110 receives the input of basic information of the main character, the setting of the event character to be set in the event deck, and the selection of the game item through the user's operation as the start processing of the breeding part.
Specifically, the control unit 110 displays on the display unit 20 a setting screen for inputting basic information of the main character. By operating the operation unit 16 by the user, information such as the main character's name, position, dominant arm, batting form (and pitching form) is input. Then, the control unit 110 displays the event deck setting screen shown in FIG. 4 on the display unit 20 . An event character is set by the user operating the operation unit 16 . Subsequently, the control unit 110 displays on the display unit 20 a screen for selecting game items to be used in the scenario. A game item used in the scenario is selected by the user operating the operation unit 16 . After these processes are completed, a training part for training the main character is started. Through these processes, the control unit 110 updates the event deck data DT105, the main character data DT106, and the like.

In S102, the control unit 110 performs section start processing. Specifically, control unit 110 adds 1 to the number of sections stored in game situation data DT108. When the number of sections is 1, it indicates that the first section is started, and when the number of sections is 2, it indicates that the second section is started. This embodiment is composed of four sections (first to fourth sections) as described above.

In S104, the control unit 110 performs turn start processing. Specifically, control unit 110 adds 1 to the number of turns stored in game situation data DT108. When the turn number is 1, it indicates that the first turn is started, and when the turn number is 2, it indicates that the second turn is started. In this embodiment, as described above, the first to third sections each consist of 12 turns (first turn to 12th turn), and only the fourth section consists of 15 turns (first turn to 15th turn). consists of

In S106, the control unit 110 associates teammates who practice together with each of the six types of practice. Specifically, the control unit 110 draws a teammate for each practice, generates practice/teammate related information that associates the drawn teammate with the practice, and stores the information in the association data DT107. Note that if the practice/teammate related information is already stored in the association data DT107, the practice/teammate related information is updated. In this embodiment, the minimum number of teammates associated with one practice is 0 and the maximum is 6. Teammates include scenario-specific event characters and non-event characters (mob characters) in addition to event characters set in the event deck. Since the process of S106 is performed after the turn start process, the teammates associated with each practice change for each turn.

At S108, the control unit 110 draws a lottery for the teammate for which the trick event is generated, targeting the event characters of the teammate associated with each practice at S106. The control unit 110 generates trick event/teammate related information in which the teammate who wins the lottery is associated with the trick event, and stores it in the association data DT107. Since the process of S108 is performed after the turn start process, the teammate associated with the trick event changes for each turn.

At S110, the control unit 110 draws a lottery for teammates to be associated with treasure excavation icons among the teammates associated with each practice at S106, targeting event characters not associated with trick events. In addition, if the above-mentioned Mummy Mob exists, the Mummy Mob will also be subject to the lottery. Also, teammates who already have an artifact associated with them will be excluded from the draw. The control unit 110 determines which of the "normal treasure excavation icon", "rare treasure excavation icon", and "legendary treasure excavation icon" is associated with each teammate who has won the lottery as described above. Then, the control unit 110 generates treasure excavation icon/teammate related information that associates the target teammate with the treasure excavation icon, and stores it in the association data DT107. Since the process of S110 is performed after the turn start process, the teammate associated with the treasure excavation icon changes for each turn.

In S112, the control unit 110 selects the previous event based on the information about the event of the event character set in the event deck and the information about the scenario event predetermined unique to the scenario, which are included in the character information table TBL112. Determine whether or not to generate In this process, the control unit 110 performs an event generation lottery, and generates a previous event when the lottery is won. As a result of this determination, if the preceding event is to be generated, the process proceeds to S114 (YES at S112), and if the preceding event is not to be generated, the process proceeds to S116 of FIG. 28 (NO at S112).

There are a plurality of types of pre-events, and each of these events has its occurrence conditions (evaluation value for the main character, presence/absence of occurrence of related events, number of turns, etc.). For all event character events and scenario events related to this breeding mode, one event determined by lottery is generated from among the events determined to satisfy generation conditions based on the game situation. If there is no event that satisfies the generation conditions, no event occurs. In addition, some events, such as scenario events, are generated with priority over other events regardless of the result of the lottery. Conditions for occurrence of such scenario events are set preferentially.

In S114, the control unit 110 generates an event of winning the lottery. Specifically, the control unit 110 generates a screen according to the story of the event and displays it on the display unit 20 . At this time, it is possible to give experience points to the main character, recover physical strength, raise the evaluation value of the main character of the event character appearing in the event, or change the main character's "motivation". The control unit 110 updates the main character data DT106.

In S116 of FIG. 28, the control unit 110 displays the main screen G800 as shown in FIG. 11 on the display unit 20, for example. At this time, the control unit 110 refers to the game situation data DT108, and displays the current storage point information in the display area A801 and the current magical power information in the display area A802.

In S118 to S122, control unit 110 determines which of options P407 to P413 has been selected from main screen G800 by the user's operation. If the option P410 of "ability up" is selected (YES in S118), the process proceeds to S124. If the "pyramid command" option P809 is selected (NO in S118, YES in S120), the process proceeds to S300 of FIG. If the "practice" option P408 is selected (NO in S118 and S120, YES in S122), the process proceeds to S128. If an option other than these is selected (NO in S118, S120 and S122), the process proceeds to S126.

At S124, the control unit 110 displays on the display unit 20 a setting screen G600 for increasing the basic abilities of the main character as shown in FIG. And perform processing for acquisition of special abilities. In this process, control unit 110 switches between the screen shown in FIG. 9 and the screen shown in FIG. 10 according to the user's operation. When the return button P608 is selected on these screens, the process returns to S116. It should be noted that if the user's operation consumes experience points to raise the main character's basic ability or acquire a special ability, the control unit 110 updates the main character data DT106.

At S126, the control unit 110 performs processing according to the selected option. When the option P407 of "rest" is selected by the user's operation, the control unit 110 updates the main character data DT106 in order to recover the physical strength of the main character. When the option P411 of "going to the hospital" is selected by the user's operation, the control unit 110 conducts a lottery to cure the main character's illness, etc., and if the lottery is won, the main character data DT106 is also prepared for that illness. make an update. When the option P412 of "play" is selected by the user's operation, the control unit 110 updates the main character data DT106 in order to restore the main character's physical strength and "motivation". When the option P413 of "date" is selected by the user's operation, the physical strength of the main character is recovered, and experience points are given to the main character according to the content of the date. Along with this, the control unit 110 updates the main character data DT106. Note that the control unit 110 displays information such as an increase in physical strength on the display unit 20 as necessary.

In S128, control unit 110 determines a practice to be provisionally selected. When the "practice" option is selected for the first time, for example, the provisionally selected practice is determined as the default "hitting". From the second time onwards, the practice selected last time is determined as the practice to be provisionally selected.

In S130, the control unit 110 executes the process of calculating the experience points/storage points for the provisionally selected exercise. This process is for calculating experience points and storage points that indicate the effect of absorption or release, which are displayed in the display area A906 and the display area A907 of the practice screen G900 of FIG. 16 and the like. The process of calculating experience points/storage points will be described with reference to the flowchart illustrated in FIG. 29 .

In S200, the point giving unit 111 of the control unit 110 determines the type and amount of experience points to be given according to the provisionally selected practice. As described above, the types of experience points to be awarded are pre-determined in association with practice. The amount of experience points is, for example, a predetermined base point for each practice, practice level, parameters such as the ability of teammates associated with the practice, the number of teammates associated with the practice, the main character's Calculated based on motivation parameters, special tag training, treasure tag events, reclaiming artifacts, etc. The experience points to be given calculated in S200 are calculated by reflecting all effects other than the effects of absorption and release. The point giving unit 111 stores the calculated experience points in the association data DT107.

In S202, the control unit 110 determines whether or not there is an absorbed treasure at the provisionally selected practice location. If YES in S202, the process proceeds to S204, and if NO, the process proceeds to S210.
In S204, the control unit 110 determines whether or not the type of experience points that can be obtained in the provisionally selected practice is the object of absorption of the "absorption state treasure" in the provisionally selected practice location. In making this determination, the information in the "experience point type" field of the treasure table TBL102 illustrated in FIG. 15 is referred to. If YES in S204, the process proceeds to S206, and if NO, the process proceeds to S210.
In S206, the point storage unit 112 of the control unit 110 calculates the amount to be reduced from the experience points to be imparted by the effect of absorption of the target "absorption state treasure". In this case, the point storage unit 112 calculates the amount of decrease for each type of experience points to be given in the practice. In addition, when there are a plurality of target "absorption state treasures", the point storage unit 112 calculates the amount of decrease from the experience points to be given for each of them. For this calculation, the information in the "experience point" field of the treasure table TBL102 illustrated in FIG. 15 is referred to.

In S208, the point storage unit 112 calculates the accumulated points to be added (absorbed) based on the decrement calculated in S206. For this calculation, the information in the "magnification" field of the treasure table TBL102 illustrated in FIG. 15 is referred to. If the magnification is greater than 1, the storage point is calculated by amplifying the decrement calculated in S206. In addition, the point storage unit 112 stores a multiplier of 1.1 when the restoration of the "King's Chamber" in the pyramid room is completed, and a multiplier of 1.5 in the turn when the effect of "Magic 4" is occurring. is applied to amplify the decrement calculated in S206 to calculate the storage point. Also, if the provisionally selected practice location contains the legendary treasure "L2", the point storage unit 112 doubles the experience points calculated in S208 in order to double the absorption effect. The point storage unit 112 stores information on the calculation result in the game situation data DT108.

At S210, the control unit 110 determines whether or not there is a treasure in a released state at the provisionally selected practice location. If YES in S210, the process proceeds to S212, and if NO, the process proceeds to S132 in FIG.
In S212, the control unit 110 determines whether or not the type of experience points that can be obtained in the provisionally selected practice is the release target of the "released treasure" at the provisionally selected practice location. In making this determination, the information in the "experience point type" field of the treasure table TBL102 illustrated in FIG. 15 is referred to. If YES in S212, the process proceeds to S214, and if NO, the process proceeds to S132 in FIG.
In S214, the point release unit 113 of the control unit 110 calculates the amount of storage points to be released according to the effect of the target "discharged treasure". In this case, the point release unit 113 calculates the stored points to be released for each type of experience points to be given in the practice. In addition, when there are a plurality of target "released treasures", the point release unit 113 calculates the storage points to be released for each of them. For this calculation, the information in the "experience point" field of the treasure table TBL102 illustrated in FIG. 15 is referred to.

In S216, the point release unit 113 calculates experience points to be added to the experience points to be given to the user based on the stored points to be released calculated in S214. For this calculation, the information in the "magnification" field of the treasure table TBL102 illustrated in FIG. 15 is referred to. If the multiplying factor is greater than 1, an experience point is calculated by amplifying and adding the release storage point calculated in S214. Also, the point release unit 113 gives a multiplier of 1.1 when the repair of the "outer wall" of the pyramid room is completed, and a multiplier of 2.0 in the turn when the effect of "magic 5" is occurring. is applied to calculate an experience point that amplifies and sums the release reservoir point calculated in S214. Further, when the legendary treasure "L2" exists in the provisionally selected practice place, the point release unit 113 doubles the experience points calculated in S216 in order to double the release effect. The point release unit 113 stores information on the calculation result in the game situation data DT108.

Returning to FIG. 28, the description continues. In S132, control unit 110 displays practice screen G900 such as FIG. In this case, control unit 110 displays practice screen G900 of the provisionally selected practice location. Specifically, control unit 110 displays arrow P510 at a position close to the provisionally selected option. In addition, the control unit 110 displays teammates associated with the practice of the provisionally selected option. Specifically, the control unit 110 displays the teammates based on the practice/teammate related information stored in the association data DT107, and displays the evaluation values of the teammates based on the hero character data DT10. If the teammate associated with the practice of the option has a good practice, the good practice is displayed at a position close to the teammate. In addition, the control unit 110 displays, in the display area A502, the experience points to be given when the user confirms the practice of the provisionally selected option. The experience points to be given calculated in S200 are displayed in this display area A502. In addition, the control unit 110 displays the effect of absorption and/or release reflecting the result of the experience point/storage point calculation processing in S130 in the display area A906 and the display area A907.

If the user has performed an operation to change the provisionally selected practice (that is, an operation to select a practice different from the provisionally selected practice) on the practice screen G900 (YES in S134), the process returns to S128 and returns to S128. to S132 are executed again. Also, if the pyramid button P902 is selected (YES in S136), the process proceeds to S300 in FIG. Further, when an operation for confirming the practice is performed by reselecting the practice under provisional selection (YES in S138), the process proceeds to S142 in FIG. If the return button P504 is selected (YES in S140), the process returns to S116 of FIG.

Here, the case where the pyramid command option P809 is selected on the main screen, or the case where the pyramid button P902 is selected on the practice screen will be described below with reference to the flowchart illustrated in FIG.
In S300, control unit 110 displays on display unit 20 a pyramid screen G1000 illustrated in FIG. When parts P1001 to P1006 indicating each room of the pyramid or display areas A1011 to A1016 displaying information on each room are selected (YES in S302), control unit 110 displays the detailed information of the selected room as "room information window” (S304).
When the button P1017 for returning to the main screen is selected (YES in S320), the process returns to S116 in FIG. When the button P1018 for returning to the practice screen is selected (YES in S322), the process returns to S132.

Also, when the magic activation button P1009 is selected (YES in S306), the control unit 110 displays the magic selection screen G1100 illustrated in FIG. 21 on the display unit 20 (S308). When an operation to select usable magic is performed on magic selection screen G1100 (YES in S310), control unit 110 activates the selected magic (S312). The magic table TBL104 illustrated in FIG. 20 is referred to for the effect of the activated magic. Then, control unit 110 stores information about the activated magic in game situation data DT108.
In S314, control unit 110 consumes magic according to the magic used, and updates the information on magic stored in game situation data DT108.
In S316, control unit 110 sets the number of remaining turns for which the effect of the used magic is effective, and stores it in game situation data DT108.

Next, the case where an operation to confirm the practice has been performed on the practice screen G900 (YES in S138 of FIG. 28) will be described below with reference to the flowchart illustrated in FIG.
At S142, control unit 110 determines whether or not there is a hidden treasure at the confirmed practice location. If YES in S142, the process proceeds to S144, and if NO, the process proceeds to S162.
At S144, control unit 110 determines whether or not two or more treasures are present at the confirmed practice location. If YES in S144, the process proceeds to S146, and if NO, the process proceeds to S148. At S146, control unit 110 generates a treasure tag event as an effect when two or more treasures are present at the practice location.

At S148, the control unit 110 determines whether or not there is an absorbed treasure at the determined practice location. If YES in S148, the process proceeds to S150, and if NO, the process proceeds to S152. At S150, the point storage unit 112 of the control unit 110 executes storage processing according to the hidden treasure in the absorbed state. Regarding this storage processing, the calculation processing required in S206 (calculation processing of the amount to be reduced from the experience points to be given) and S208 (calculation processing of the storage points to be added) executed when the exercise is provisionally selected is done. Therefore, the point storage unit 112 executes storage processing using the calculated information at the time of provisional selection, reduces at least a part of the experience points to be given in the fixed practice, and distributes the reduced amount to all types. Store as a storage point. Then, the point storage unit 112 updates the stored points stored in the game situation data DT108.

At S152, the control unit 110 determines whether or not there is a released artifact at the determined practice location. If YES in S152, the process proceeds to S154, and if NO, the process proceeds to S156. At S154, the point release unit 113 of the control unit 110 executes release processing according to the treasure in the released state. Regarding this release process, the necessary calculation processes in S214 (calculation process of storage points to be released) and S216 (calculation process of additional experience points due to release) executed when practice is provisionally selected have been completed. there is Therefore, the point release unit 113 executes the release process using the calculated information at the time of the provisional selection, releases at least a part of the stored points, and adds them to the type of experience points obtained in the determined practice. Give. Then, the point storage unit 112 updates the stored points stored in the game situation data DT108.

At S156, the control unit 110 determines whether or not there is a treasure that has been restored at the confirmed practice location. If YES in S156, the process proceeds to S158, and if NO, the process proceeds to S162. The presence of the restored treasure at the confirmed practice location means that the teammates with whom the restored treasure is associated will practice together, and the treasure return processing of S158 is executed. . This treasure return processing will be described with reference to the flowchart illustrated in FIG.
In S400, the control unit 110 releases the association between the restored treasure and the teammate. Then, the control unit 110 updates the treasure/teammate related information stored in the association data DT107.
In S402, the control unit 110 restores magical power according to the rank of the returned treasure as an effect of returning the treasure. Then, control unit 110 updates the magic power information stored in game situation data DT108.
In S404, the control unit 110 gives bonus experience points as an effect of returning the treasure.
In S406, the control unit 110 executes restoration processing of each room of the pyramid as an effect of returning the treasure. Here, the room to which the returned treasure is associated as the ``especially desired treasure'' is more highly restored than the other rooms. Then, the control unit 110 updates the degree of restoration of each room of the pyramid stored in the game situation data DT108.

In S408, the control unit 110 determines whether or not there is a pyramid room that has been completely restored. If YES in S408, the process proceeds to S410, and if NO, the process proceeds to S160 in FIG. If there is a pyramid room that has been restored (YES in S408), control unit 110 releases magic associated with the restored room (S410). Then, control unit 110 updates the released magic information stored in game situation data DT108. In addition, the control unit 110 activates the post-repair completion effect associated with the room in which the repair is completed (S412). Then, the control unit 110 updates the information about the restored room and the activated effect information stored in the game situation data DT108. After that, the process proceeds to S160 in FIG.

At S160, the control unit 110 restores the treasure located at the determined practice location. Specifically, the number of remaining repair turns for the treasure at the fixed practice location is reduced by "1". If a treasure tag event has occurred, the control unit 110 reduces the number of remaining repair turns for each treasure by "2". Then, the control unit 110 updates the information on the number of remaining turns until the completion of restoration of each treasure stored in the game situation data DT108.

At S162, control unit 110 determines whether or not there is a teammate associated with the treasure excavation icon at the confirmed practice location. If YES in S162, the process proceeds to S164, and if NO, the process proceeds to S166. At S164, control unit 110 generates a treasure excavation event. That is, the control unit 110 associates a teammate associated with a treasure excavation icon with a treasure corresponding to the type of the treasure excavation icon. Then, the control unit 110 generates treasure/teammate related information in which the target teammate is associated with the treasure, and stores it in the association data DT107. In addition, the control unit 110 sets the number of repair turns of the artifact associated with the teammate and the rank of the artifact, and stores the set information in the game situation data DT108.

At S166, control unit 110 executes the determined exercise. As a result, the control unit 110 gives the main character the experience points displayed in the display area A502 and the display area A907 of the practice screen G900. In addition, the control unit 110 consumes physical strength according to the determined practice, raises the evaluation value of teammates, or acquires a trick if a trick event occurs. Then, control unit 110 reflects the result of practice in main character data DT106.

After that, the process proceeds to S168 in FIG. In S168, control unit 110 determines whether or not to generate a post-event, as in S112 described above. That is, the control unit 110 performs an event generation lottery, and generates a post-event when the lottery is won. As a result of this determination, if the post-event is not generated, the process proceeds to S172, and if the post-event is to be generated, the process proceeds to S170. Note that the conditions for generating the post-event are the same as those for the pre-event.

At S170, the control unit 110 generates an event of winning the lottery. Specifically, the control unit 110 generates a screen according to the story of the event and displays it on the display unit 20 . At this time, in the same way as the previous event, you can give experience points to the main character, recover physical strength, raise the evaluation value of the main character of the event character that appears in the event, and increase the main character's "motivation". The control unit 110 updates the main character data DT106 so as to change it. Incidentally, in a predetermined turn of the fourth section, a baseball game (preliminary round or Koshien game) occurs as a post-event. In this case, the control unit 110 updates the game situation data DT108 with the information regarding the win or loss of the game.

In S172, the control unit 110 performs turn end processing. Specifically, the control unit 110 updates the hero character data DT106 so as to recover the hero character's physical strength by a certain amount, or updates the game situation data DT108 to move to the next turn. Further, the control unit 110 reduces the number of remaining turns for which the effect of the magic in use is effective by "1", and updates the game situation data DT108.
At S174, control unit 110 determines whether the current turn is the last turn of each section. If it is the last turn, the process proceeds to S176 (YES in S174), and if it is not the last turn, the process returns to S104 of FIG. 27 (NO in S174). If the player loses the game during the fourth section and is eliminated, the fourth section is forced to end, so the current turn becomes the last turn. It should be noted that even if the game progresses to the 15th turn of the 4th section by winning the game continuously, it will be the final turn.

At S176, control unit 110 determines whether the current section is the last section. If it is the last section, proceed to S178. On the other hand, if it is not the last section, the control unit 110 displays a screen on the display unit 20 to the effect that the section has ended, updates the game situation data DT108 to move to the next section, and performs the processing shown in FIG. Return to S102.

In S178, the control unit 110 performs a training mode ending process. Specifically, first, the control unit 110 displays on the display unit 20 a setting screen G600 for increasing the basic abilities of the main character as shown in FIG. In other words, the user is urged to spend all of the remaining experience points that he/she has in order to improve basic abilities and acquire special abilities. Then, when the remaining experience points are consumed for the basic ability and the special ability by the user's operation, the control unit 110 updates the main character data DT106 as the finally determined ability of the main character, Finish the scenario that is the training part.

[5. summary]
In the game system 1 according to the embodiment described above, it is possible to store at least part of the experience points of the types that should be obtained through practice as common points for all types. Also, experience points can be retrieved by releasing at least a portion of the stored storage points based on a user's operation. Therefore, even if experience points of a type other than the type desired by the user are obtained in practice, they can be stored as storage points that do not depend on the type. As a result, regardless of the types of experience points that can be obtained, it becomes easier to select a game progress with favorable conditions, such as the ability to obtain more experience points, so that the interest in the game can be improved.

In addition, in the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, at least part of the stored points can be released at any timing of the user, and can be taken out (acquired) as experience points of a type according to the user's operation. That is, at least a part of the experience points of the type obtained according to practice at the time of storage is stored as a common storage point regardless of the type, and at least a part of the storage points is released at the user's arbitrary timing. As a result, it becomes possible to acquire another type of experience points desired by the user. In other words, when a practice is performed, experience points of the type associated with the practice are allocated and awarded, but if at least some of them are stored as storage points that are not related to the type, they will be stored at the time of release. This means that it can be reallocated as a different kind of experience point. As a result, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in allocating the types of user's experience points, and it is possible to train the character as intended by the user.

[6. Modification]
The invention is not limited to the embodiments described above.

[6-1] In the above, in order to release the storage point, the magic that releases the treasure is necessary, and in order to use the magic, it is necessary to have enough magical power. As a variation, magic may be eliminated as a condition for using magic, and the user may be allowed to use magic that releases treasure at any timing.
[6-2] In addition, the user may be allowed to release the storage points at any timing without using magic to release the treasure. For example, a release operation independent of practice is possible, and when a release operation is performed, the user can receive the type of experience points specified by the user without (or with) the consumption of turns. A specified amount may be made available (obtainable) from the storage point at any time.
For example, in the setting screen for changing the ability parameters of a character to be trained by consuming experience points, shown in FIG. A specified amount may be removed from the storage point. That is, while the user is viewing the setting screen illustrated in FIG. 9 or 10, the release operation may be enabled to specify the type and amount of experience points to be released. In this case, the display area A603 in FIG. 9 or 10 displays the currently acquired experience points for each type, but the experience points for the type taken out from the storage point by the release operation are added. , is displayed in the display area A603.
In addition, only when predetermined conditions such as using a specific item possessed by the user are satisfied (for example, only when setting to use a specific item at the start of the game), the above practice An independent release operation may be possible.
[6-3] In the description above, the spells "Magic 1" to "Magic 6" other than "Magic 7" cannot be used unless the conditions for completing the restoration of the corresponding pyramid room are met. , the condition may be eliminated for all or part of the magic, and the user may use any magic at any timing. In this case, for example, only when a predetermined condition is satisfied, such as setting to use a specific item at the start of the game (a specific item possessed by the user is brought in at the start of the game), an arbitrary item can be used from the start of the game. You may be able to use the magic of
[6-4] In the above description, it is possible to associate not only the event character but also the mummy mob with the rare and legendary treasures, but the treasures associated with the mummy mob may be limited to ordinary treasures. This increases the value of the event character.
Also, the teammates with which artifacts can be associated may be limited to event characters set in the event deck (the association of artifacts to mummy mobs may be eliminated).
[6-5] Above, if a treasure is associated with a teammate due to a treasure excavation event that occurred in a certain turn, the effect of that treasure being associated will occur from the next turn onwards. As a variation, even in the turn in which the treasure excavation event occurs, the effect due to the associated treasure may be generated.
[6-6] Above, the artifact is repaired by practicing together with the teammate with which the artifact is associated (in other words, by selecting the exercise with which the teammate with which the artifact is associated is associated). and the number of remaining repair turns is reduced by one. As a variation, regardless of whether or not you practice with a teammate that the artifact is associated with, simply expend a turn to repair the artifact and reduce the number of remaining repair turns by one. good too. In this case, the restoration of the artifact is completed by consuming the number of repair turns specified for each artifact.
[6-7] Above, when a treasure tag event occurs in a practice area with two or more artifacts, the restoration of the two or more artifacts proceeds two turns in one practice session. As a variation, when a Treasure Tag Event occurs, the more artifacts the target artifact that caused the event to occur, the more turns the target artifact repair progresses. For example, with 2-3 artifacts, the target artifact will be repaired for 2 turns, with 4-5 artifacts, the target artifact will be repaired for 3 turns, and with 6 (or more) artifacts, the target artifact will be repaired. You may choose to proceed for 4 turns.

[6-8] Although the example of the baseball game has been mainly described above, the present invention can also be applied to other games. For example, other sports games (games based on soccer, tennis, American football, basketball, ice hockey, volleyball, rugby, etc.), fighting games, fighting games, digital card games, role-playing games, simulation games, adventure games or Like breeding games, regardless of the game format or genre, if it is a game in which at least one type of point is given out of multiple types of points according to the progress of the game, it can be used in various games. Applicable.
