A configuration in which the processing is executed and the result of the executed processing is returned to the portable terminal will be described in a second embodiment (embodiment 2) with reference to FIG.

[Embodiment 1]
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG.

(Overview of the game)
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of a game example implemented by the game program according to the present embodiment. (a) of FIG. 2 shows that the player catches the fish 1 by operating the fishing interface, (b) shows that the player releases the caught fish 1 to the fishing spot 2, (c) ) indicates that the fish 1 released to the fishing spot 2 grows. The game program can realize, for example, a fishing game in which the user can experience fishing. However, in order to explain the game program according to the present invention, the fishing game merely exemplifies one aspect of the game realized by the game program, and the game program may be, for example, a company management game, a farm Various games such as management games and character training games can be further realized.

As illustrated in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the player provides input information (e.g., touch operation) via a "fishing interface" (described in detail below with reference to FIG. 3). by doing), it is possible to catch a fish (game medium) 1 from the outside (sea, river, fishing spot managed by another player, etc.) and release the caught fish 1 to a "fishing spot" managed by the player. .

As illustrated in (c) of FIG. 2, the fish 1 caught above can be used as the progress of the game (e.g., the passage of time in the real world, the passage of time in the game, the completion of a predetermined quest, the progress of a predetermined quest, (eg, the fish 1 grows and breeds) in accordance with the growth of the player). The fish 1 released to the fishing spot 2 may be caught by another player playing the game.

In this way, the fishing game implemented by the above game program differs from conventional games in which the state of the game does not change unless the player takes an active action such as "catch a fish." Only by releasing the fish 1 caught by the player to the fishing spot 2 (even if the player does not take any active action), the condition in the game changes due to the growth of the caught fish 1.例文帳に追加Therefore, the game program can realize a highly interesting game that keeps the player from getting bored.

Also, the fish 1 itself, which grows by being released to the fishing spot 2, becomes an object to be acquired by other players. In other words, each player can catch the fish 1 being raised by another player as an acquisition target. Therefore, the game realized by the above game program allows each player to play independently, unlike the conventional game in which interaction with other players is scarce, the game can interact with other players through the growing fish 1. An interaction occurs. That is, the game program can promote interaction between multiple players.

(Configuration of mobile terminal 100)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a main configuration of a mobile terminal 100. As shown in FIG. A mobile terminal (computer) 100 is an information processing device capable of executing a game program including processing described below. Specific devices are not limited to mobile terminals, as long as they are capable of executing the process, and examples include smartphones, tablet terminals, home game machines, mobile phones, personal computers, and other electronic devices. good too. The game program includes a display (display unit), an input surface capable of detecting touch input, a memory, and one or more processors capable of executing one or more programs stored in the memory. and can be particularly suitably implemented in a multifunction device (eg, a smartphone, etc.).

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 100 includes a control unit 10 (input information acquisition unit 11, game content acquisition unit 12, information storage unit 13, information update unit 14, display information output unit 15, play history storage unit 16, a growth notification unit 17, a privilege provision unit 18), a communication unit 20 (receiving unit 21, transmitting unit 22), an input unit 40 (input surface 41, input control unit 42), and a display unit 50.

The control unit 10 comprehensively controls various functions of the mobile terminal 100 . The control unit 10 includes an input information acquisition unit 11, a game content acquisition unit 12, an information storage unit 13, an information update unit 14, a display information output unit 15, a play history storage unit 16, a growth notification unit 17, and a privilege provision unit 18. include.

The input information acquisition unit (input information acquisition function) 11 acquires the coordinate information 5b input by the player from the input control unit 42, and the input information 5g given by the player to the operation interface displayed on the game screen. is specified based on the coordinate information 5b. The input information acquisition section 11 outputs the input information 5g to the game content acquisition section 12 and the play history storage section 16 .

A game content acquisition unit (game content acquisition function) 12 acquires (fishes) a fish (game content) 1 that the player aims to acquire in accordance with the input information 5g. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a "fishing interface" (game content acquisition interface) operated by the player to catch the fish 1. As shown in FIG. As exemplified in FIG. 3, the display information output unit 15 can output to the display unit 50 display information 5e that causes the display unit 50 to display a game screen including the fishing interface. In addition, the display information output unit 15 can output to the display unit 50 the display information 5e for displaying the fish 1 on the display unit 50 so that the fish 1 that has bitten the bait will act violently while biting. . As a result, the game program can give the player a realistic feeling of fishing.

For example, when the input information 5g is input from the input information acquisition unit 11 at the timing when the fish 1 rampaging in the game screen is displayed in the center of the concentric circle included in the fishing interface (the player enters the input screen 41 is touched), the game content acquisition unit 12 decreases the hit points of the fish 1 (indicated by the color bar displayed at the top of the game screen). If the hit points of the fish 1 can be reduced to a predetermined value or less (for example, zero) by the player's touch with good timing, the game content acquisition unit 12 assumes that the player has caught the fish 1. , the game content information 5c regarding the fish 1 is obtained from the server device 200. FIG. Thus, the game program allows the player to have a simulated experience of fishing. The game content acquisition unit 12 outputs the game content information 5c to the information storage unit 13 and the display information output unit 15 .

Note that the game content acquisition unit 12 can (a) acquire (catch) the fish 1 from a public fishing spot (for example, sea, river, pond, swamp, etc.), or (b) a private fishing spot (for example, The fish 1 can also be obtained from a fishing spot managed by another player. In addition, the game content acquisition unit 12 can vary the difficulty of catching the fish 1 according to the type of fishing spot. For example, the game content acquisition unit 12 (a) enlarges/reduces the concentric circles in the sea fishing spot to make it easier/difficult to catch the timing, or (b) increases the hit points of the fish 1 in other players' fishing spots. (c) increase/decrease the probability that the fish 1 will release the bait in the pond fishing area. As a result, the game program can freely adjust the difficulty of the game, so that variations of the game can be increased.

An information storage unit (information storage function) 13 stores game content information 5c (information about game content) related to the fish 1 so that the fish 1 can be managed by the player via a management interface. The game content information 5c related to the fish 1 acquired by the player is newly stored in the device.

In the present embodiment, the predetermined storage device is installed in server device 200 communicably connected to portable terminal 100 via a predetermined network (for example, the Internet). Therefore, (1) the information storage unit 13 transmits the game content information 5c input from the game content acquisition unit 12 to the server device 200 from the transmission unit 22, and (2) the server device 200 receives the game content information 5c. The game content information 5c is stored in the predetermined storage device (cloud storage) in association with a player identifier that can uniquely identify the player. As a result, the game program can centrally manage the game content information 5c received from the mobile terminals 100 operated by the respective players.

On the other hand, the portable terminal 100 may include the predetermined storage device (local storage), and the information storage unit 13 may store the game content information 5c in the predetermined storage device. As a result, the game program allows the player to enjoy the game even when the portable terminal 100 is in an environment in which communication with an external device is not possible. In the following description, only an example in which the game program stores arbitrary information in the cloud storage will be described, but it goes without saying that the arbitrary information may be stored in the local storage.

In addition, in the game implemented by the game program according to the present embodiment, the player can manage at least one fishing spot 2, respectively. , for example, a player identifier that can identify the player who manages the fishing spot 2) can be associated with the game content information 5c and stored in the predetermined storage device.

The information updating unit (information updating function) 14 stores the information stored in the predetermined storage device so that the fish 1 managed by the player (the fish 1 released to the fishing spot 2) grows as the game progresses. The game content information 5c regarding the fish 1 is updated. Specifically, the information update unit 14 generates update information 5d indicating that the fish 1 has grown with the passage of time in the game, and transmits the update information 5d from the transmission unit 22 to the server device 200. By doing so, the server device 200 is caused to update the game content information 5c.

For example, the information updating unit 14 (a) increases the size of the fish 1 by 1 cm each time 10 days have passed in the game, or (b) increases the size of the fish 1 every time 1 month has passed in the game. By breeding (for example, when the fish 1 lays eggs and the eggs hatch, small fish 1a, 1b, and 1c are newly generated, see (c) in FIG. 2) , the fish 1 can be grown. That is, for the fish 1 to "grow as the game progresses", (a) the fish 1 displayed on the game screen grows in size as the game progresses, and (b) the game screen and (c) the fish 1 change in other ways.

In this way, the game program allows the fish 1 caught by the player to simply be released to the fishing spot 2 (even if the player does not take any active action), and the fish 1 that has been caught grows, and the in-game A change in state occurs. Therefore, the game program allows the player to leisurely (passively) enjoy the game. In addition, the above game program can not only give the player a sense of superiority that "obtains and owns a fish/item that no one else has", but also gives the player a sense of accomplishment that "a fish has grown". Therefore, the player can be motivated to play the game.

In the present embodiment, (a) the information updating unit 14 transmits the update information 5d including information for updating the predetermined information to the server device 200, so that the server device 200 receives the predetermined information. A configuration for updating information will be described as an example. The information may be stored in the cloud storage, or (c) the information updating unit 14 may update the predetermined information and store the updated information in the local storage.

In addition, the information updating unit 14 can change the growth of the fish 1 depending on how the fish 1 is caught from the outside (sea, river, fishing spot managed by another player, etc.). For example, the longer the time taken to catch the fish 1, the greater the damage inflicted on the fish 1. Therefore, the information update unit 14 may (a) slow down the growth of the fish 1 or (b) cause the fish 1 to breed. You can reduce the number. Alternatively, if the damage is extremely large (eg, the damage exceeds a predetermined threshold), the game program may prevent the fish 1 from being moved to the fishing spot 2 . As a result, the game program allows the player to simulate a more realistic fishing experience. The information update unit 14 outputs the update information 5d to the transmission unit 22, the growth notification unit 17, and the privilege provision unit 18.

A display information output unit (display information output function) 15 outputs to the display unit 50 display information 5e for displaying a game screen on the display unit 50 so that another player can obtain the grown fish 1. . As outlined above with reference to (a) to (c) of FIG. 2, fish 1 acquired by a player from the outside (sea, river, fishing grounds of other players) are released to fishing grounds 2 managed by the player. The fish 1 then grows in the fishing spot 2 . Then, the fish 1 itself grown in the fishing spot 2 becomes an object to be acquired by other players. For example, the display information output unit 15 outputs (a) a player identifier that can uniquely identify a player and a fishing spot 2 associated with the player identifier so that other players can acquire the grown fish 1. (b) the game content information 5c associated with the fishing spot information is acquired from the server device 200, and "which player manages which fishing spot" is displayed in a listable manner; 200, it is possible to display "what kind of fish are in which fishing spot" in a glanceable manner. As a result, interaction with other players occurs through the growing fish 1, so the game program can realize interaction between a plurality of players.

In addition, the display information output unit 15 can further output to the display unit 50 the list display information 5f that enables the player to list the fish 1 managed by the player. As a result, the game program allows the player to grasp the fish 1 being raised by the player at the fishing spot 2 at a glance. Furthermore, the display information output unit 15 can further output display information 5e for operably displaying various user interfaces (for example, a fishing interface, a management interface, etc.). In particular, the display information output unit 15 can further output interface display information for operably displaying a management interface that allows the player to manage the fish 1 . This allows the game program to allow the player to easily manage the fish 1 .

Note that the player can give a name to each fish 1 being raised. Specifically, (1) the input information acquisition unit 11 acquires the input information 5g indicating the name (characters, numbers, symbols, etc.) for the fish 1 specified by the player, and (2) the information update unit 14 By generating update information 5d indicating that the name of the fish 1 has been updated and transmitting the update information 5d to the server device 200 via the transmission unit 22, the game content information 5c is transmitted to the server device 200. let me update. In this case, the display information output unit 15 can display the names in a listable manner by including information on the names of the fish 1 (included in the game content information 5c) in the list display information 5f. As a result, the game program can make the player feel attached to the fish 1, and thus can arouse the player's enthusiasm for the game.

The play history storage unit (play history storage function) 16 sequentially stores the game play history of the player in the predetermined storage device. Specifically, the play history storage unit 16 transmits the input information 5g from the transmission unit 22 to the server device 200 each time the input information 5g is input from the input information acquisition unit 11 . Each time the server device 200 receives the input information 5g from the portable terminal 100, the server device 200 associates the input information with a player identifier that can uniquely identify the player, and sequentially stores the input information in the predetermined storage device. The player's play history is accumulated in the predetermined storage device.

In this case, by referring to the play history, the information update unit 14 updates the predetermined storage device so that the fish 1 managed by the player grows while the player is not playing the game. The stored game content information 5c regarding the fish 1 can be updated. For example, when the player (1) feeds the fish 1 released to the fishing spot 2, (2) releases another fish 1 that can become a mate with the fish 1, and (3) feeds the fish, the information is updated. Without receiving the input information 5g from the player after that, the unit 14 enlarges the fish 1 by 1 cm according to the above (1), increases the small fish 1a to the fishing spot 2 according to the above (2), and increases the small fish 1a to the fishing spot 2 according to the above (3). Fish 1 and minnows 1a can be made 1 cm larger.

In other words, the game program changes the state of the game as the caught fish 1 grows, even if the player does not take any active action. can do.

A growth notification unit (growth notification function) 17 notifies the player of the growth of the fish 1 . For example, the growth notification unit 17 (a) causes the display unit 50 to display a notification such as "fish has grown", or (b) emits sound from a speaker (not shown in FIG. 1) provided in the mobile terminal 100. or (c) by vibrating the mobile terminal 100, the growth of the fish 1 can be notified to the player (notified by push). Thereby, the game program can recall the player to the game after the player finishes playing the game. When the update information 5 d indicating that the fish 1 has grown is input from the information update unit 14 , the growth notification unit 17 outputs notification information 5 h indicating the notification to the display information output unit 15 .

A privilege granting unit (privilege granting function) 18 grants a predetermined privilege to the player who manages the fish 1 and/or the group to which the player belongs, according to the growth of the fish 1 . For example, when the update information 5d is input from the information updating unit 14, the privilege providing unit 18 updates the privilege information 5i related to the predetermined privilege with a player identifier capable of uniquely identifying the player and/or the group uniquely. The predetermined privilege is given to the player and/or the group by associating it with a group identifier identifiable to the above and storing it in the predetermined storage device. Here, the predetermined benefits include (a) further growth and breeding of the fish 1, and (b) the strength of the fish 1 (for example, an increase in hit points, etc.). (c) awarding points; and/or (d) awarding character items that can be used in the game or other games. Thus, the game program can arouse the player's enthusiasm for the game.

Note that the information (privilege information 5i) regarding the privilege granted by the privilege granting unit 18 may be uploaded to the server device 200 . Alternatively, the server device 200 includes the privilege granting unit 18, the mobile terminal 100 uploads the update information 5d to the server device 200, and the privilege granting unit 18 generates the privilege information 5i on the server device 200. , may be stored in a predetermined storage device. By unifying various types of information (for example, privilege information 5i) in the server device 200 in this way, the server device 200 can, for example, (a) rank each player according to the amount of privilege granted to the player; Information can be presented, and (b) the player who manages the largest number of fishes 1 in the fishing spot 2 can be rewarded. Therefore, mobile terminal 100 and server device 200 can realize a highly entertaining game.

The input unit 40 receives a touch operation by the player. In the present embodiment, the input unit 40 may be, for example, a touch panel capable of detecting the touch operation. Input unit 40 includes an input surface 41 and an input control unit 42 . Note that the method of giving an input to the mobile terminal 100 is not limited to the touch operation using the touch panel (for example, an input can be given by pressing a predetermined input key).

The input surface 41 is a device (for example, a touch surface included in the touch panel) capable of detecting a position designated by a touch operation by the player. The input surface 41 outputs a touch signal 5a including information corresponding to the specified position to the input control section 42 .

Based on the touch signal 5a input from the input surface 41, the input control unit 42 generates coordinate information 5b including information on the position on the input surface 41 that can specify the position specified by the player.

The communication unit 20 communicates with the outside via a communication network according to a predetermined communication method. As long as it has an essential function of realizing communication with an external device (for example, the server device 200), the communication line, communication method, communication medium, etc. are not limited. The communication unit 20 can be configured by a device such as an Ethernet (registered trademark) adapter, for example. Further, the communication unit 20 can use communication methods and communication media such as IEEE802.11 wireless communication and Bluetooth (registered trademark). Communication unit 20 includes a receiving unit 21 and a transmitting unit 22 .

The receiving unit 21 receives the game content information 5 c from the server device 200 .

The transmission unit 22 transmits the game content information 5c input from the information storage unit 13, the update information 5d input from the information update unit 14, and the input information 5g input from the play history storage unit 16 to the server device 200. .

The display unit 50 is a device that displays a game screen. In this embodiment, the display unit 50 may be a liquid crystal display. In addition, in FIG. 1, the input unit 40 and the display unit 50 are shown separately in order to clarify their respective functions. However, for example, when the input unit 40 is a touch panel and the display unit 50 is a liquid crystal display, it is preferable that both are integrated.

(Fishing spot setting)
The player can freely set his/her own fishing spot 2 . For example, the player can set a vacant lot that originally existed on the game field (for example, a pond, lake, etc. not owned by any player) as his own fishing spot 2 . Specifically, (1) the input information acquisition unit 11 acquires the input information 5g indicating the position on the game field specified by the player, and (2) the information update unit 14 updates the fishing spot 2 at that position. Fishing spot information indicating the setting is generated, and the transmitting unit 22 transmits the fishing spot information to the server device 200 . (3) The server device 200 stores the fishing spot information in a predetermined storage device in association with the player identifier. By executing the information processing (1) to (3) above by the game program, the player can set his/her own fishing spot 2 . As a result, the game program can make the player feel attached to the fishing spot 2, and thus can arouse the player's enthusiasm for the game.

The game program can configure the game field to reflect real-world geography. In this case, the player can set his or her own fishing spot 2 at a position in the game field corresponding to the player's position in the real world (position information obtained from the GPS provided in the mobile terminal 100). For example, the player can set a lake that exists in the real world as his own fishing spot 2 . In this way, the player can freely set his/her own fishing spot 2, so the game program can arouse the player's enthusiasm for the game.

In addition, the game program reflects the geographical characteristics of the game field in the fishing spot 2 set by the player, thereby providing (a) scenery of the fishing spot 2, (b) climate, (c) vegetation, (d) ) water quality (sea water, fresh water, brackish water, clear water, turbid water, etc.), and/or (e) types of fish 1 that can be raised, etc. can be varied. For example, when the player designates a vacant lot at the foot of a mountain to set the fishing spot 2, the information updating unit 14 displays the mountain in the background of the fishing spot 2 on the game screen displaying the fishing spot 2. Thus, the fishing spot information can be generated. Alternatively, the information update unit 14 can generate the update information 5d so that a specific fish grows only in fishing spots provided in land with a warm climate (so that different types of fish can be caught depending on the fishing spot). ). Thus, the game program allows the player to create a wide variety of fishing spots.

(Management of fishing spots)
A player may be required to maintain (manage) the fishing spot 2 . For example, the player can (a) feed the fish 1 released to the fishing spot 2, (b) clean the fishing spot 2, (c) change the water in the fishing spot 2, and (d) keep the water temperature constant. Various types of maintenance displayed on the management interface are required to be performed continuously. Specifically, (1) the input information acquisition unit 11 acquires the input information 5g indicating that the maintenance specified by the player is to be performed via the management interface, and (2) the information update unit 14 By generating update information 5d indicating that the fishing spot 2 has been maintained and transmitting the update information 5d from the transmission unit 22 to the server device 200, the server device 200 is caused to update the fishing spot information on the fishing spot 2.

Depending on the above maintenance, the growth of the fish 1 (change in game content) may differ. For example, the information updating unit 14 can generate the update information 5d so that the fish 1 grow faster in the fishing spot 2 that is kept clean by being cleaned frequently compared to the fishing spot 2 that is not. . Alternatively, the information updating unit 14 can generate the update information 5d so that the fish 1 fed only a small amount of food grow slower than the fish 1 fed a large amount of food ( If it is extremely low, fish 1 may die). Alternatively, the behavior of the fish 1 changes depending on the situation of the fishing spot 2 (for example, if the fishing spot 2 is left unclean, the fish 1 become ferocious and cannibalize, or if the fish 1 is kept clean). The information update unit 14 can generate the update information 5d so that the fish 1 becomes more active and is less likely to be caught by other players.

In this way, the game program can prompt the player to play the game regularly (pull the player back into the game) because the fishing spot 2 requires continuous maintenance. It should be noted that the growth notification unit 17 can notify the player that the fishing spot 2 requires maintenance (for example, notify by push). Thereby, the game program can strongly urge the player to play the game regularly.

In addition, the player can request maintenance of the fishing spot 2 managed by himself/herself to another player who is in a friend relationship. Thereby, the game program can promote interaction between a plurality of players. In addition, the player can (a) appreciate the fish 1 released to the fishing spot 2, (b) take a gyotaku of the fish 1, and (c) cook and eat the fish 1. . As a result, the game program can realize a game with a wide variety of variations.

(Development of fishing spots)
The player can customize (develop) the fishing spot 2 according to his/her preference. For example, the player can (a) change the appearance of the fishing spot 2 by placing decorations (e.g., rocks, trees, waterfalls, fences, items obtainable at events, etc.) on the fishing spot 2, or (b ) By providing management facilities (for example, water purification equipment, water temperature stabilization equipment, etc.) at the fishing spot 2, the function of the fishing spot 2 can be enhanced. Specifically, (1) the input information acquisition unit 11 acquires the input information 5g indicating that the decoration/facility specified by the player is to be added, changed, or deleted; 2, the update information 5d indicating that the decoration/facility has been added/changed/deleted is generated, and the update information 5d is transmitted from the transmission unit 22 to the server device 200. Update fishing spot information.

In this way, the game program enables the player to flexibly customize the fishing spot 2, thereby giving the player a sense of accomplishment that "I have created a fishing spot (environment) that I like".

The above game program includes, for example, (a) the number of fish 1 released to the fishing spot 2 by the player, (b) the type of the fish 1, (c) the progress of a predetermined quest, (d) the growth of the player (that is, the player The above customization can be executed by the server device 200 or made executable by the player (removing the limitation) according to the achievement status of the game.

Also, the player can customize the fishing spot 2 according to the purpose. For example, the player can customize the fishing spot 2 to (a) be a fishing spot 2 where many other players come to play, or (b) be a fishing spot 2 that is challenged by other players. . In the case of (b) above, the player can devise ways to prevent the fish 1 from being caught by other players. For example, the player (b1) considers the compatibility of the fish 1 to be released to the fishing spot 2 with other players and/or the rods owned by the other players, and devises how to raise the fish 1 (for example, , the type of bait given, the water quality of the fishing spot 2, etc.), and (b2) by devising the position where the fish 1 is released to the fishing spot 2, the hit points of the fish 1 can be increased, and the skill You can make it have an attribute special ability.

Furthermore, because the fish 1 is not caught by other players, it becomes stronger each time it rejects a challenge from the other player (it grows as a "nushi" in the fishing spot 2). For example, every time another player fails to catch fish 1, the information updating unit 14 (a) increases the parameters (for example, maximum hit points) of the fish 1, or (b) increases the skill/attribute special It is possible to generate update information 5d that can update the game content information 5c related to the fish 1, such as giving abilities.

In this way, the game program allows the player to customize the fishing spot 2 in consideration of the relationship with other players, thereby promoting interaction among a plurality of players.

By connecting the fishing spot 2 managed by the player and another fishing spot managed by another player in the vicinity of the fishing spot 2 with a water channel, the fish 1 released to both can freely come and go. can be made possible. Specifically, the information updating unit 14 updates the player and the other player so that the fish 1 (game medium) managed by the player and the fish 1 (game medium) managed by another player can interact with each other. Generate association information that associates with the player. Thus, each player can cross the fish 1 released to the fishing spot 2 with another fish released to another fishing spot, and efficiently breed the fish 1 released to both. In addition, the probability of mating, the ratio of one fish and the other fish, etc. may change according to the specifications (width, depth, distance, etc.) of the waterway. As a result, the game program can realize a game with a wide variety of variations.

Each player can view/visit other fishing spots managed by other players, and can fish at the other fishing spots. In other words, each player can show the fishing spot 2 developed by himself to other players. Specifically, (1) the input information acquisition unit 11 acquires the input information 5g indicating that the other fishing spot designated by the player is to be browsed/visited, and (2) the display information output unit 15 acquires the By acquiring fishing spot information (game content management information) about another fishing spot 2 from the server device 200 (predetermined storage device), the fish 1 released to the other fishing spot can be caught (acquired). , the display information 5e for displaying the game screen is output. As a result, the game program satisfies the player's desire to show off, thereby increasing the player's motivation to play the game.

(Configuration for managing fishing spots shared by multiple players)
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of how the fishing spot 2 is managed by a group composed of a plurality of players. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the fish 1 is jointly managed by a co-player who belongs to the same group as the player, and the information update unit 14 is co-managed by the player and the co-player. The game content information 5c related to the fish 1 stored in a predetermined storage device can be updated so that the fish 1 grows as the game progresses. As a result, the game program can give each player a sense of solidarity of "raising fish in a group", so that each player can be motivated to play the game.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, the display information output unit 15 displays (a) a fishing spot 2 managed by a player or a group, and/or (b) a player's avatar (projecting the player on the game field) in the game field. Display information 5e for displaying characters 4a to 4d simulating the player (for example, appearance of the player) can be output. As a result, the game program can give each player a sense of unity that "a group develops a fishing spot", so that each player can be motivated to play the game. It should be noted that the player can operate the avatar of his/her own so that it walks around the fishing spot 2 .

Each player catches a fish 1 from outside (sea, river, fishing spot managed by another player, etc.) and releases the caught fish 1 to a fishing spot (common fishing spot) jointly managed by a group to which each player belongs. You can (bring a fish). Also, in a group, each player belonging to the group can share a role. For example, the player who is the leader of the group has each role such as (a) the role of releasing bait fish, (b) the role of releasing big fish (high-rarity fish), and (c) the role of maintaining decorations. can be assigned to each player. Thereby, the game program can give each player a sense of unity by the group. The game program can make the big game appear when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when the fish has grown to a predetermined degree).

Actions taken by each player in the shared fishing spot may be described in a journal (information viewable by each player belonging to the group). The diary may include (a) the number and type of newly released fish, (b) the number and type of fish caught, and (c) the name of the player who maintained the decoration, the time, maintenance details, and the like. . The information update unit 14 can update the diary according to the actions of each player. Thereby, the game program can share the action taken by each player in the group in the shared fishing spot. Thereby, the game program can promote interaction between players.

Each player can freely form a group with other players. That is, (a) each player belonging to a group can designate a player not belonging to the group and invite them to join the group; , a group to which the player wishes to belong can be specified, and permission to belong to the group can be requested from a player (eg, leader) belonging to the group.

In the case of (a) above, (1) the input information acquisition unit 11 acquires solicitation information that prompts the player to belong to the group to which the player belongs, and (2) the information update unit 14 acquires other If the approval information from the other player is further acquired, the group to which the other player belongs is changed based on the solicitation information. In the case of (b) above, (1) the input information acquiring unit 11 acquires permission application information requesting permission to belong to a group, and (2) the information updating unit 14 acquires the permission application information When approval information is further acquired from the target group, the group to which the other player belongs is changed based on the approval information. Thereby, the game program can promote interaction between players.

It should be noted that the server device 200 can designate a plurality of players and force the plurality of players to form a group. Also, in order to revitalize the group, the group will take a new measure (for example, install new maintenance equipment), have the group leader send an email to everyone, and return to the old players. you can get Thereby, the game program can further promote interaction between a plurality of players.

(Other configurations)
The player can pull in the fish 1 using a casting net. In this case, (a) not only the fish 1 released to the fishing spot 2 but also items hidden in the fishing spot 2 can be pulled up, and (b) the number of times the player can use the casting net is limited (for example, , only once a day) may be provided. As a result, the game program can introduce a new twist to the game.

Also, if the player can pick up predetermined items (for example, "souls") scattered in the game field and/or the fishing spot 2 and collect a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the predetermined items, the It is possible to repair (recover the durability of) the rod owned by the player (the durability of which decreases according to the number of times it is used, and breaks when the durability reaches zero). It should be noted that only the cast net can pick up the predetermined item, the predetermined item that the player does not need can be thrown away at the fishing spot, and a specific character who can undertake the repair of the rod is on the game field. You can go to As a result, the game program can realize a game with a wide variety of variations.

A player can put fish 1 caught in a public fishing spot (sea, river, etc.) and/or a fishing spot managed by another player in a fish cage (fishing basket) or a fish preserve that can be temporarily stored. Then, the player can select the fish to be raised and bred in his/her own fishing spot from among the fish placed in the fish tank or the fish tank. Thereby, the game program can give the player a margin for selection.

The above game program, according to predetermined criteria (for example, the number of fish caught, the amount of damage given to the fish, the number of types of fish released to the fishing spot, the strength of the fish, the number of fish that have not been caught) , players can be ranked. The game program can also rank the fishing spots managed by each player according to the predetermined criteria. In this case, the game program can rank the fishing spot using the number of visits by other players as one of the predetermined criteria (that is, fishing spots that no one visits are ranked lower). As a result, the game program can motivate each player to actively interact with each other among a plurality of players.

The game program selects a nushi (boss fish) from among the fish 1 released to the fishing spot 2 according to predetermined criteria (for example, parameters set for the fish, the number of times the fish has not been caught by other players, etc.). ) can be determined. It should be noted that the fish to be the nushi may be determined by the player's designation. The above-mentioned game program can give special conditions to the fish to be picked, such as, for example, if the fish to be picked is caught by another player, the fishing spot 2 is taken by the other player. . As a result, the game program can realize a game with a wide variety of variations.

The above game program can realize a battle between players who have strong fish (fishing competition). It is also possible to allow players belonging to the same group to hold a "fishing tournament". In this case, for example, 15 players can go fishing at the same fishing spot at the same time. Thereby, the game program can further promote interaction between a plurality of players.

In addition, the game program creates a sense of unity in the group by displaying, on the game screen, avatars operated by each player sitting on chairs of the same type (for example, chairs of the same color) and fishing. be able to. Furthermore, the game program can deliver (a) fish habitat information and/or (b) recommended fishing spot information to the mobile terminal 100 operated by each player. Thereby, the game program can further promote interaction between a plurality of players.

Players can find items that can be used in the game by visiting fishing grounds managed by other players or walking around other game fields. As a result, the game program can realize a more interesting game.

The player can designate a fishing point (position to drop the fishing line) in the fishing spot 2 . In this case, the game program can change the fish 1 that can be caught according to the position. As a result, the game program allows the player to simulate a more realistic fishing game.
