  Next, a specific example will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of an initial game screen displayed to the player of the terminal device 1 in the present embodiment. The game screen includes an operation button such as a game space 300, a search button 310, a move button 312 and a boss attack button 314, a battle indicator 316, and the like. In the game space 300, a plurality of search spots 320a to 320e are displayed.

  Here, as described above, in the game space 300, a route or a search spot that is inactive and hidden in the initial state but can be activated by a predetermined condition such as performing a predetermined search at any of the search spots. Is set.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the inactive routes 322a to 322d by broken lines. The route 322a connects the search spot 320a and the search spot 320b. The route 322b connects the search spot 320b and the search spot 320c. The route 322c connects the search spot 320c and the search spot 320d. The route 322d connects the search spot 320c and the search spot 320e. These broken lines are shown for explanation, and are not displayed in the actual game space 300 provided to the player. Hereinafter, inactive routes 322a to 322d are indicated by broken lines for the sake of explanation.

  However, the initial display processing unit 44 indicates the presence of a route that is inactive and non-displayed in the initial state but can be activated by performing a predetermined search at any of the search spots so as to provide a hint for the player. Information can be displayed in the game space 300 for each search spot. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10, it is set that the search spot 320c is connected to three routes of the search spot 320b, the search spot 320d, and the search spot 320e, which are a route 322b, a route 322c, and a route 322d, respectively. Yes. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the initial display processing unit 44 can display a number such as “3” indicating the number of routes along the search spot 320 c in the game space 300.

  As another example, a part of routes may be displayed in an activated state as an initial state. Similarly, as another example, some search spots may be set in an inactivated state as an initial state.

  FIG. 12 shows an example in which, in the game space 300 shown in FIG. 11, the player operates the movement button 312 to move the player character 324 to the search spot 320c. Thereafter, when the player operates the search button 310, the player character 324 searches for the search spot 320c. As described above, the player character can move between the search spots via the activated route, but the search spot where the player character first moves is, for example, the game management control unit 42 ( And the game story storage unit 60, etc.), or the player can select a desired destination only at the beginning. Further, while the player is searching for any one of the search spots, it corresponds to the scenery in the search spot based on the detailed information of the search spot stored in the map information storage unit 62 instead of the screen shown in FIG. The game screen to be displayed is displayed.

  When the player character 324 performs a predetermined search at the search spot 320c, the activation display processing unit 46 displays a route 322b connecting the search spot 320c and the search spot 320b in the game space 300 in an activated state (solid line). FIG. 13 shows such an example. Thereby, for example, the player character 324 can move from the search spot 320c to the search spot 320b via the route 322b.

  Further, when the player advances the game and, for example, a predetermined appearance condition is satisfied, the item appearance processing unit 48 causes the individual effect item 326 to appear at the search spot 320a, for example. FIG. 14 shows such an example.

  In the game space 300 shown in FIG. 14, when the player character 324 moves to the search spot 320b and performs a predetermined search at the search spot 320b, the activation display processing unit 46 displays the search spot 320b and the search spot in the game space 300. A route 322a connecting to 320a is displayed in an activated state (solid line). FIG. 15 shows such an example. Thereby, the player character 324 can move from the search spot 320b to the search spot 320a where the individual effect item 326 appears via the route 322a (FIG. 16). When the player character 324 performs a predetermined search at the search spot 320a (for example, discovers the individual efficacy item 326), the efficacy activation processing unit 50 activates the efficacy of the individual efficacy item 326.

  Returning to FIG. 4, when the player advances the game and, for example, a predetermined appearance condition is satisfied, the item appearance processing unit 48 appears the team common effect item in each of the game spaces of all the plurality of players constituting one team. Let At this time, the item appearance processing unit 48 basically causes the team common efficacy item to appear at the search spot set in the efficacy item information storage unit 64, but causes the team common efficacy item to appear at a different search spot depending on the player. be able to.

  As described above, the individual effect item appears for each player in the game space of the player according to the progress of the game of the player. Therefore, even if the players are in the same team, for example, a plurality of individual effect items have already appeared in the game space of one player depending on the progress of the game of each player, but the individual effect is in effect for other players. There may be cases where no items appear. In such a case, when the team common effect item appears in each of the game spaces of all of the plurality of players constituting one team, the item appearance processing unit 48 causes other effect items to appear for each player. A team common item can appear in a search spot that is not present.

  In addition, the effect activation processing unit 50 is used as a search spot where a player character operated by any of a plurality of players constituting one team is displayed in the game space and a search spot where a team common effect item appears via a route. By moving and performing a predetermined search (second search) at the search spot, the effect of the team common effect item is activated for all the plurality of players constituting the one team. Here, the effectiveness of the team common efficacy item can be, for example, an increase in the reward given to the one team based on the damage given to the enemy character.

  FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 are diagrams illustrating examples in which team common efficacy items respectively appear in the game space of a plurality of players constituting one team. FIG. 17A shows a game space 300a of one player (hereinafter referred to as player AAA), and FIG. 17B shows another player of the same team as “player AAA” (hereinafter referred to as “player BBB”). ) Shows a game space 300b. Here, the player character of the player AAA has moved to the search spot 320c. In the game space 300a of the player AAA, the route 322b is activated, and the individual efficacy item 326a and the individual efficacy item 326b appear in the search spot 320a and the search spot 320e, respectively. On the other hand, the player character of the player BBB has moved to the search spot 320b. In the game space 300b of the player BBB, the route 322b and the route 322d are activated, but no effective item appears in any of the search spots 320a to 320e.

  In this state, it is assumed that the appearance condition of the team common efficacy item 328 is satisfied. At this time, for example, in the efficacy item information storage unit 64, it is assumed that the team common efficacy item 328 is set to appear at the search spot 320e. As shown in FIG. 17B, in the game space 300b of the player BBB, since no other effective item appears in the search spot 320e, the item appearance processing unit 48 is common to the search spot 320e according to the setting. An effect item 328 appears (FIG. 18B). on the other hand,. As shown in FIG. 17A, in the game space 300a of the player AAA, the individual effect item 326b has already appeared in the search spot 320e. Therefore, the item appearance processing unit 48 causes the team common efficacy item 328 to appear at the search spot 320d, for example, where no other efficacy item has appeared (FIG. 18A).

  In addition, when another efficacy item appears in the search spot set in the efficacy item information storage unit 64, the team common efficacy item 328 appears when the team common efficacy item 328 cannot appear in the search spot. The search spot to be determined may be determined in advance according to the priority order. When the team common effect item 328 appears, any search effect from which no other effect item appears may be arbitrarily selected by, for example, lottery. You may make it appear in the search spot selected.

  As another example, instead of setting the position of the team common efficacy item 328 in the efficacy item information storage unit 64, the item appearance processing unit 48 performs other operations when the team common efficacy item 328 appears for each player. You may make it appear in the search spot arbitrarily selected, for example by lottery etc., from the search spots where no effective item of has appeared.

  With the above configuration, even for players on the same team, variations for each player can be made.

  Here, as described above, when any player of the team performs a predetermined search at the search spot where the team common efficacy item 328 appears, the effectiveness of the team common efficacy item 328 includes a plurality of items constituting the team. Activate for all players. For example, when one of the player AAA and the player BBB moves to the search spot where the team common efficacy item 328 appears and discovers the team common efficacy item 328, the effectiveness of the team common efficacy item 328 is given to all players of the team. Can be activated.

  For example, in the game space 300b of the player BBB, both the route 322b and the route 322d that connect the search spot 320b where the player character 324b is located and the search spot 320e where the team common effect item 328 appears are activated and displayed. Yes. Therefore, the player character 324b can immediately move to the search spot 320e. On the other hand, in the game space 300a of the player AAA, the route 322c connecting the search spot 320c where the player character 324a is located and the search spot 320d where the team common effect item 328 appears is not yet activated. Therefore, in order for the player character 324a to move to the search spot 320d, it is necessary to perform a search within 320c and activate the route 322c.

  In such a case, the player AAA and the player BBB communicate with each other. For example, the player BBB sends a message such as “I can take the team common effect item 328!”, And the player AAA “Please!” And the like, the player AAA can leave the effect of the team common effect item 328 to the player BBB to perform another search or the like.

  FIG. 19 shows a state in which an enemy character 330 (boss) appears in the search spot 320c in addition to the state shown in FIG. FIG. 19A shows the game space 300a of the player AAA, and FIG. 19B shows the game space 300b of the player BBB.

  As described above, since the player character can attack the enemy character 330 wherever the player character is, both the player AAA and the player BBB can immediately attack the enemy character 330. In such a case, for example, the player AAA entrusts the player BBB to acquire the team common efficacy item 328 and returns a message such as “Please ask the team common efficacy item 328! I will defeat the boss!” The player AAA can perform a process of defeating the enemy character 330 by leaving the player BBB to activate the team common efficacy item 328.
