<< About the outline of the game >>>>
Here, an outline of the game provided by the game system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game image when the game card is evolved. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game image when a game card is strengthened.
The game system 1 according to the present embodiment can provide a user (player) with a battle game using a game medium. Below, the battle | competition type card game played using a game card as an example of a game medium is demonstrated. Since this game card is a game card as digital content, it becomes a virtual card used in a virtual space on the game.

<Competitive card game>
The game system 1 according to the present embodiment can provide a battle-type card game in which a character selected by a player is battled against an enemy character that is an opponent, thereby determining a win or loss.

  In this battle-type card game, first, the player selects a character to fight against the enemy character. In the present embodiment, a player can own a plurality of game cards (virtual cards used in a virtual space on the game), and a game character is associated with each game card. Therefore, when a game card to be used for a match is selected from among a plurality of game cards owned by the player, the character corresponding to the selected game card is set as a character to play against an enemy character (hereinafter referred to as “player character”). Will be.

  Next, a battle game is started in which the player character selected by the user plays against the enemy character. In the present embodiment, when the player searches to find an enemy character, the enemy character appears as an opponent of the player character and the battle game is started.

  Next, when the battle with the appearing enemy character is started, the player inputs a command for attack. Then, the player character performs an attack according to this command input to the enemy character, and the enemy character counterattacks against this attack. The determination of winning or losing in the battle game of the present embodiment is made based on the vitality parameter (physical strength parameter) set for each character. Specifically, the control unit 11 of the server device 10 calculates the amount of damage that the player character gives to the enemy character based on the current values of parameters such as the level and attack power set for the player character, and the damage Depending on, the current value of the vitality parameter set for the enemy character is decreased. Subsequently, the control unit 11 calculates the amount of damage received by the player character based on the current values of parameters such as the level and the defense strength set for the player character against the enemy character countering this attack, Decreases the current health parameter set for the player character according to the damage. In this way, in the battle game of this embodiment, the value of the life force parameter (health parameter) is decreased according to the opponent's attack power, and the character whose value has reached zero first, or the battle It is programmed so that the character with the lower remaining value at the end of the time will be the loser.

  In addition, the competitive card game of the present embodiment can also be a multiplayer competitive game in which a plurality of players participate. Specifically, an enemy character common to each player is set as an opponent. Each player plays against a common enemy character. Then, if the enemy character's vitality parameter value is reduced in response to an attack from each player character, and a common enemy character counterattacks against this attack, the health parameter of each player character is in response to this counterattack Decrease the value. In this way, if the enemy character's life parameter value reaches zero first, or at the end of the battle time, the remaining value of the enemy character's life parameter is greater than the remaining value of each player character's health parameter. If there are fewer, you have won the battle against the enemy character.

  At this time, a team (group) having each player as a constituent member can be formed. In such a case, a battle is made on a team basis with an enemy character common to each player as an opponent.

<Combining game cards>
In this battle-type card game, by combining game cards that form a predetermined combination among a plurality of owned cards owned by the player (combining game cards), the character corresponding to the combined game card is displayed. Various parameters (for example, level, attack power, defense power, etc.) can be changed.

  In the synthesis of the game cards of this embodiment, there are a case where the game cards are evolved by combining game cards forming a predetermined combination and a case where the game cards are strengthened.

Evolution of a game card means resetting a new upper limit value to an upper limit value of a parameter set for a game card after combination by combining the same type of game cards.
In the card evolution in this embodiment, the level, attack power, defense power, etc. set to the main card are obtained by combining at least one game card of the same type as the sub card with the same type of game card as the main card. Increase the upper limit value of the parameter and set the new value to the new value. As a result, it is possible to increase the merit of possessing the same type of game media in duplicate.

Then, the player operates the terminal input unit 23 to place the owned card owned by the player in the owned card area 51. In the present embodiment, seven owned cards are arranged in the owned card area 51. The player operates the terminal input unit 23 to select two owned cards of the same type from the seven owned cards displayed in the owned card area 51 (here, two “characters” F ”is selected), one is determined as the main card and the other as the sub card. When the owned card to be the main card is selected by the player, the owned card is placed in the pre-combination card area 52. When the owned card to be the sub card is selected by the player, the owned card is placed in the pre-combination card area 53. As a result, the state of the possessed card generated after the composition is arranged in the post-combination card area 54. Then, the player confirms that the same type of possessed card is displayed in the pre-combination card areas 52 and 53, and confirms the possessed card generated after compositing in the post-combination card area 54, and then card evolution Button 55 is selected. By causing the player to perform such an operation input, the same type of main card is combined with the same type of sub card, and an evolved main card is generated. A specific processing procedure for evolving a game card will be described in detail later.

The strengthening of the game card is to change the current values of the parameters set in the game card after the combination by combining the game cards forming a predetermined combination.
In the card reinforcement in this embodiment, the current values of parameters such as level, attack power, defense power, etc. set in the main card are obtained by combining at least one game card as a sub card with a game card as a main card. Increase the value and set the new value to the new value. The combination of the main card and the sub card may be a combination of different types of game cards, a combination of the same type of game cards, or at least one game card of at least two same types. Two or more different types of game cards may be combined.

Here, a case where game cards are strengthened by combining different types of game cards will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The player operates the terminal input unit 23 to select a plurality of owned cards from the seven owned cards displayed in the owned card area 61, determine one as the main card, Decide on a subcard. Here, three different types of owned cards are selected depending on the player (here, “Character A”, “Character B”, “Character C” are selected), and one of them is the main card (“Character” A ") and the remaining two cards are determined to be sub-cards (" Character B "and" Character C "). When the owned card that becomes the main card is selected by the player, the owned card is placed in the pre-combination card area 62. When an owned card to be a sub card is selected by the player, the owned card is placed in the pre-combination card areas 63 and 64. As a result, the state of the possessed card generated after the combination is arranged in the post-combination card area 65. The player confirms that different types of possessed cards are displayed in the pre-combination card areas 62 to 64 and confirms the possessed cards generated after compositing in the post-combination card area 65. Button 66 is selected. By causing the player to perform such an operation input, two main cards are combined with one main card, and a strengthened main card is generated. A specific processing procedure for strengthening the game card will be described in detail later.

The card giving process is a process for giving a game card to a player (user). In this embodiment, a game card is awarded to a player by executing a battle-type card game. Specifically, the granting unit 111 in the server device 10 executes a game process related to the battle-type card game, and determines a game card to be given to the player based on the battle content and the battle result.

  First, on the user terminal 20, the player causes the terminal display unit 24 to display the web page accessed for starting the battle game, and starts the battle game by operating the terminal input unit 23. That is, when the terminal control unit 21 receives an input signal for starting a battle from the terminal input unit 23, the terminal control unit 21 sets a user ID in a command for starting the battle game (a battle start request), and the server via the terminal communication unit 25. Transmit to device 10.

  At this time, the player can select a game card used in the battle game, that is, a character associated with the game card. The character selected by the player becomes a character that fights against enemy characters in the virtual space on the game. That is, when the player selects a character (hereinafter referred to as a player character) by operating the terminal input unit 23, the terminal control unit 21 obtains the card ID of the game card corresponding to the selected player character from the terminal storage unit 22. The read card ID is transmitted to the server apparatus 10 through the terminal communication unit 25 together with the user ID.

  Next, when the server apparatus 10 receives a battle start request in which the user ID is set via the network, the server device 10 determines an enemy character to play against the player character.

  Next, when an enemy character is determined, the server apparatus 10 performs a battle game process for determining whether or not the battle game by these characters is won or lost. Specifically, the control unit 11 (giving unit 111) acquires parameters such as attack power, defense power, and physical strength set for the player character based on the possessed card information stored in the data storage unit 12. It also acquires parameters such as attack power, defense power, and life power (HP) set for the enemy character.

  Based on parameters such as attack power and defense power set for the player character, the control unit 11 (giving unit 111) calculates the amount of damage that the player character applies to the enemy character, and responds to the enemy character according to the damage. Decrease the set vitality parameter. Similarly, based on the attack power, defense power, and other parameters set for the enemy character, calculate the amount of damage the enemy character will inflict on the player character, and reduce the health parameter set for the player character according to the damage. .

  Then, as a result of performing this calculation, the control unit 11 (giving unit 111) determines that the enemy character loses (the player character wins) if it is first determined that the vitality parameter of the enemy character has reached zero. If it is first determined that the player character's health parameter has reached zero, the player character loses (enemy character wins).

  When the winning / losing of the battle game is determined in this way, the control unit 11 (granting unit 111), based on the content of the battle and the battle result, out of the plurality of game cards included in the card information shown in FIG. Select the game card to be given to the player. As a result, the selected grant card becomes the player's possession card.

<Card recording process>
The card recording process is a process of recording the granted card given to the player by the card granting process as an owned card owned by the player. The recording unit 112 in the server device 10 records the grant card given to the player by the card grant process in addition to the possessed card information shown in FIG. Specifically, the CPU records the grant card as the possession card by writing information on the grant card in the storage area of the memory. Note that the grant card may be recorded as the possession card by the CPU setting flag information in the card ID corresponding to the grant card (by setting a flag indicating possession).

<Card evolution processing>
The card evolution process is a process for evolving a game card by combining game cards of the same type.

  Specifically, first, when the control unit 11 in the server device 10 receives a command for requesting card evolution (card evolution request) from the user terminal 20, it starts card evolution processing (S101).

  Next, in the present embodiment, the control unit 11 in the server device 10 causes the image generation unit 115 to generate a game image (see FIG. 4) to be displayed on the terminal display unit 24 of the user terminal 20, and the generated game image is displayed. It transmits to the user terminal 20 (S102).

  The terminal control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 displays the received game image (see FIG. 4) on the terminal display unit 24 (S103), and causes the player to select a game card that forms a predetermined combination (S104). The player operates the terminal input unit 23 to select a plurality of game cards of the same type from among a plurality of owned cards (for example, select two owned cards). At this time, the player determines one game card as a main card and the other game card as a sub card. Upon receiving an operation signal for selecting a game card from the terminal input unit 23, the terminal control unit 21 transmits the card ID of the same type of game card (main card and sub card) selected by the player to the server device 10. Then, a command (upper limit setting request) for requesting the setting of the upper limit value of the parameter is transmitted to the server device 10.

  Next, when the server device 10 receives the upper limit setting request, the server device 10 sets a new upper limit value for the parameter of the main card in the same type of game card group (one main card and one sub card) selected by the player. The upper limit value setting process for setting is performed (S105).

  Specifically, first, the upper limit setting unit 113 of the server device 10 determines whether or not the main card and the sub card selected by the player are the same type of game card based on the card ID of the game card. . In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the game cards having the card IDs: 0001 to 0004 are set to the same type of game card as the character name: “warrior A”. Further, each game card having the card IDs: 2591 to 2594 is set to the same type of game card as the character name: “Mage Wizard Z”. That is, each game card (Warrior A) having card IDs: 0001 to 0004 and each game card (Witch Z) having card IDs: 2591 to 2594 are set to different types of game cards. . In this way, the upper limit setting unit 113 determines whether the game cards are of the same type or different types based on the card IDs of the main card and the sub card. Next, when it is determined that the main card and the sub card are the same type of game card, the upper limit setting unit 113 refers to the card information stored in the data storage unit 12 using the card ID of the main card as a key. Thus, an upper limit value corresponding to the number of evolutions is acquired for each parameter of level, attack power, and defense power set for the main card. Then, the upper limit setting unit 113 records and updates the acquired level, attack power, and defense power upper limit values in the possessed card information (see FIG. 8) as new upper limit values of the main card. At this time, since the sub card is deleted from the possessed card information (see FIG. 8) (or the flag indicating non-ownership is set), the player sets a new upper limit parameter after the card evolution. Only owned main cards will be owned.

  In this way, a new upper limit value can be reset to the upper limit value of the parameters (levels, etc.) set for the same type of game card, so that the player possesses the same type of game card in duplicate. Even if it becomes, it can be advantageous in the progress of the game by card evolution. As a result, it is possible to increase the merit of possessing duplicate game cards of the same type.

  Next, the server apparatus 10 performs a parameter increase process for increasing the current value of the parameter for the main card in which the new upper limit value is set as the parameter upper limit value (S106). That is, the parameter raising unit 114 of the server device 10 refers to the possessed card information stored in the data storage unit 12 using the card ID of the main card as a key, so that the level, attack power, and defense set for the main card are determined. Get the current value of each force parameter. Then, the parameter raising unit 114 adds a predetermined value to the current values of these various parameters to obtain a new current value, records the new current value in the possessed card information (see FIG. 8), and updates it. .

  In this way, since the current values of parameters (levels, etc.) set for the same type of game card can be increased, the merit of possessing the same type of game card in duplicate can be further increased. It becomes possible.

  Next, the control unit 11 in the server device 10 generates a game image indicating that the same type of game card selected by the player has been evolved (a new upper limit value has been reset in the main card parameter) as an image generation unit. 115, and the game image is transmitted to the user terminal 20 (S107).

  The terminal control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 displays the received game image on the terminal display unit 24, so that the selected game card of the same type has evolved (a new upper limit value is reset in the main card parameter). (S108).

  In the above-described upper limit setting process, the upper limit setting unit 113 performs control so that the higher the current value of the parameter set in the main card, the higher the new upper limit value of the parameter reset in the main card. May be. For example, the card evolved when the current value of the level set to the main card is 100, rather than the card evolved when the current value of the level set to the main card is 10. Make the new upper limit of the level reset to the main card higher. As a result, even if the player owns the same type of game card in duplicate, the player holds the same type of game card until the current value of the parameter increases. Therefore, it is possible to further increase the merit of possessing the same type of game card in duplicate.

<Card reinforcement processing>
The card strengthening process is a process of changing the current values of parameters set in the combined game cards by combining game cards forming a predetermined combination. Here, as an example, a main card in which a new upper limit value is set as the upper limit value of the parameter by the card evolution process described above (hereinafter referred to as “main card after evolution”) is strengthened by this card reinforcement process. I will give you a description.

  Specifically, first, when the control unit 11 in the server device 10 receives a command for requesting card strengthening (card strengthening request) from the user terminal 20, it starts card strengthening processing (S201).

  Next, in the present embodiment, the control unit 11 in the server device 10 causes the image generation unit 115 to generate a game image (see FIG. 5) to be displayed on the terminal display unit 24 of the user terminal 20, and the generated game image is displayed. It transmits to the user terminal 20 (S202).

  The terminal control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 displays the received game image (see FIG. 5) on the terminal display unit 24 (S203), and causes the player to select a game card that forms a predetermined combination (S204). Here, it is assumed that the player selects a plurality of different types of game cards from among a plurality of owned cards by operating the terminal input unit 23 (for example, selecting three different types of owned cards). . At this time, it is assumed that the player determines the evolved main card as the main card again, and determines the game card of a different type from the evolved main card as the sub card. When the terminal control unit 21 receives an operation signal for selecting a game card from the terminal input unit 23, the card IDs of a plurality of game cards (one main card and two sub cards) selected by the player are given to the server device 10. At the same time, a command requesting an increase in the current value of the parameter (parameter increase request) is transmitted to the server device 10.

  Next, when the server device 10 receives the parameter increase request, the server device 10 increases the current value of the parameter of the main card in the different types of game card groups (one main card and two sub cards) selected by the player. A parameter increasing process is performed for this (S205).

  Specifically, first, the parameter increasing unit 114 of the server device 10 determines whether or not the evolved main card (the evolved main card) and the sub card are the same type of game card, and the card ID of the game card. Determine based on. This determination is performed by the same method as the card evolution process described above. Next, when the parameter increasing unit 114 determines that the main card and the sub card are different types of game cards, the parameter increasing unit 114 refers to the card information stored in the data storage unit 12 using the card ID of the main card as a key. To acquire the current values of the various parameters of the level, attack power, and defense power set for the main card. Then, the parameter raising unit 114 adds a predetermined value to the current values of these various parameters to obtain a new current value, records the new current value in the possessed card information (see FIG. 8), and updates it. . At this time, since the sub-card is deleted from the possessed card information (see FIG. 8) (or the flag indicating non-ownership is set), after the card is strengthened, the player sets a new parameter of the current value. Only owned main cards (evolved main cards) will be owned.

  Thus, when the evolved main card is strengthened by this card strengthening process, not only a new upper limit value is set for the parameter (level etc.) by the card evolution process described above, but also different types of sub-cards are set. The current value of the parameter (level, etc.) can be increased by using the card. Therefore, it is possible to further increase the merit of possessing the same type of game card in duplicate.

  Next, the control unit 11 in the server device 10 displays a game image indicating that the evolved main card owned by the player has been strengthened (a new current value has been set as a parameter of the evolved main card). The generation unit 115 generates the game image and transmits the game image to the user terminal 20 (S206).

  The terminal control unit 21 of the user terminal 20 displays the received game image on the terminal display unit 24 so that the evolved main card is strengthened (a new current value is set in the parameter of the evolved main card). (S207).

  In the parameter increasing process described above, the parameter increasing unit 114 sets the parameter (level etc.) set to the main card (evolved main card) based on the current value of the parameter (level etc.) set to the sub card. ) Of the present value may be determined. This makes it possible to determine the amount of increase in the parameters set in the main card (the evolved main card) according to the current values of the parameters set in different types of sub cards. It is possible to further increase the merit of owning the same.

  As described above, according to the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the main card and the sub card set to the same type as the main card are selected from the plurality of game cards owned by the player, and the main card is selected. By combining a sub card with a card, a new upper limit value can be reset to the upper limit value of a parameter (level, etc.) set for the main card. Therefore, even if the player owns the same type of game card in duplicate, the player can increase the parameters set for the same type of game card. As a result, it is possible to increase the merit of possessing duplicate game cards of the same type.
