And you may make it supply a program and data to the game server 30 or the terminal 10 via an information storage medium.

[2. Outline of game executed in game system 1]
In the game system 1, a game is executed by displaying a game screen on the display unit 15 of the terminal 10 based on data provided from the game server 30 based on a request from the terminal 10.

  In the game system 1, for example, a user collects game characters, and a game using the collected game characters is executed. Hereinafter, as an example of a game executed in the game system 1, a game in which a user collects game characters indicating soccer players (hereinafter referred to as “player characters”) and is executed using the collected player characters. explain. In this game, for example, a player character collected by the user can be trained (trained), a team can be formed using the collected player character, and a soccer game can be played with other teams using the formed team. .

  For example, in the above game, information such as “level”, “cost”, “position”, “ability”, “skill”, and the like is associated with the player character. Here, “level” indicates the level of the player character. For example, “level” is an index indicating the level of the ability of the player character. For example, “level” is represented by a numerical value, and the higher the numerical value of “level”, the higher the ability of the player character. As will be described later, the “level” of the player character increases as the user trains the player character. For this reason, the “level” can also be referred to as an index indicating the progress of player character development. For example, the higher the numerical value of “level”, the greater the progress of the training (that is, the progress of the training). As described above, the more the player character is trained, the higher the level of the player character and the higher the ability of the player character. For player characters of the same type with different levels, the player character with the higher level has higher ability than the player character with the lower level.

  “Cost” indicates the level of cost required for the player character to participate in the game. For example, “cost” is represented by a numerical value, and the higher the “cost” value, the higher the cost required for the player character to participate in the game. “Position” is information indicating an appropriate position of the player character in the formation (form, formation) of the game.

  The “ability” is information obtained by digitizing the ability of the player character. For example, “Ability” includes “attack power (offense)”, “defense power (defense)”, “technique”, “running power (speed)”, “power”, “endurance (stamina)”, etc. There are parameters for each type. The higher the parameter values of “attack strength (offense)”, “defense strength (defense)”, “technique”, “running power (speed)”, “power”, “endurance (stamina)” "Attack (Offense)", "Defense (Defense)", "Technique", "Running (Speed)", "Power", and "Endurance (Stamina)" are high.

  “Skill” indicates the type of special skill possessed by the player character. “Skill” can be said to be a special effect that occurs during a game. When a player character having skill is in a game (or included in a team), a special effect corresponding to the skill may occur in a game with another team. That is, when a player character with skill is included in the team, an effect corresponding to the skill occurs, and the influence makes it easier for the team to score in the game, or the score of the opponent team May be difficult to enter. Some player characters are not associated with “skill” information.

  In the above game, for example, the user uses a lottery ticket for collecting player characters to collect player characters selected by a lottery method from a plurality of types of player characters, or by a team organized by the user. Player characters are collected as rewards for playing matches with other teams. There may be a plurality of types of lottery tickets, and the attributes of player characters that can be collected may differ for each type of lottery ticket. The lottery ticket may be obtained by exchanging points, items, or currencies, or by achieving a game task. In the above game, the user may collect player characters by exchanging player characters with other users.

  In the above game, the user may have an upper limit number of player characters determined by the user. The user organizes a team to play a game with a predetermined number of player characters selected from the player characters that the user owns. The total value of the costs of the player characters constituting the team needs to be equal to or less than the upper limit value (hereinafter referred to as “team cost”) allowed by the user.

  In addition, a team is comprised from the starting player character which participates from the start of a game, and the substitute player character which takes part in a game in substitution for a starting player character. Moreover, the player character which comprises a team may be selected mechanically according to the predetermined reference | standard from the player characters which a user holds, and a user may select. In addition, when a formation is defined for the team, each starting player character may have a formation position (for example, forward, midfielder, defender, etc.).

  Further, in the above game, when a team formed by the user plays a game with another team, the player with higher ability of the player character constituting the team is more likely to win. The ability of each player character can be improved by “training” described later. In the game according to the present embodiment, the ability of the player character can be improved by two types of training, the first training and the second training. In the first training, the ability of the player character to be trained is improved using other player characters. On the other hand, in the second training, a game for training is executed as a sub game in the above-described game by using game points. And according to the game results of the training game, the ability of the player character to be trained is improved.

  The “level” of the user is information associated with the user, and is a numerical value determined according to the experience value (EXP) of the user who plays the game. For example, in the above game, the user acquires an experience value by winning the game, and the level increases when the acquired experience value reaches a predetermined amount. Each time the “level” increases, the upper limit value of the user “team cost”, “game point”, etc. may increase.

The “game point” is information associated with the user, and is a point necessary for executing a game. “Game points” increase with the passage of time. For example, a game point value is added each time a predetermined time elapses. Further, for example, the “game point” may be increased by using a predetermined item. Further, for example, the upper limit of “game points” that can be held by a user is determined for each user. The upper limit value of the “game point” may be determined according to the “level” of the user.
The “fund” is information associated with the user, and indicates the amount of in-game currency held by the user. For example, “fund” is an in-game currency (points) required to execute a player character training (first training). Further, for example, “fund” is obtained as a result of a game or other reward, and may be obtained by selling a player character.

For example, the display area A1121, the display area A1122, the display area A1123, the display area A1124, the display area A1125, and the screen element P303 are displayed in the summary display area A112.

  The display area A1121 is a display area for displaying the name of the base player character. A1122 is a display area for displaying the cost of the base player character. The display area A1123 is a display area for displaying the position of the base player character. The display area A1124 is a display area for displaying information related to the level of the base player character.

  The display area A1125 is a display area that displays a range of experience values (upper limit value and lower limit value) that can be acquired according to the game points specified in the point specification area A111. The game points used for the second training and the range of experience values (upper limit and lower limit) that can be acquired by the base player character in the second training have a predetermined correspondence. That is, the more game points used for the second training, the more experience values that can be acquired. In other words, the more game points specified in the point specification area A111, the more experience values that can be acquired. For this reason, when the amount of game points displayed in the input field P401 is increased or decreased, the range of experience values (upper limit value and lower limit value) displayed in the display area A1125 changes based on the above correspondence. As will be described later, the experience value actually acquired by the base player character is determined based on the game results of the training game within the range of the experience value displayed in the display area A1125.

  Below, an example of the display mode when the upper limit value and the lower limit value displayed in the display area A1125 change will be described. For example, when the upper limit value displayed in the display area A1125 is increased from the first value to the second value, the upper limit value displayed in the display area A1125 is a predetermined value (for example, 1) from the first value. It is increased to the second value by successively increasing. Similarly, when the upper limit value displayed in the display area A1125 is decreased from the first value to the second value, the upper limit value displayed in the display area A1125 is changed from the first value to a predetermined value (for example, 1 ) To the second value by successively decreasing. The same applies to the lower limit value displayed in the display area A1125.

  The screen element P303 is an icon associated with a process for determining use of the game point designated in the point designation area A111.

  In addition, the game point used for said 2nd training needs to be below the game point which a user holds. If the game points used for the training exceed the game points owned by the user, the user may be notified that the game points are insufficient. At this time, the user may be prompted to use an item for increasing game points or purchase an item.

  When the game points used for the second training are equal to or less than the game points held by the user, and the screen element P303 is selected on the use point designation screen G107 in FIG. "Training game") is executed. Below, an example of the game screen of an action training game is demonstrated. Hereinafter, the details of the action training game will be described based on the game screens shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of a game screen G108 (action training game screen) of an action training game executed in the second training. A first player object OB101, a second player object OB102, a ball object OB103, and an instruction object OB104 are displayed on the game screen G108 in FIG. The first player object OB101 is an object representing a player character who shoots. The second player object OB102 is an object representing a player character that performs centering. The ball object OB103 is an object representing a soccer ball. The instruction object OB104 is an object for instructing a user to perform an operation (here, a tap operation).

  In the example described below, in the action training game, the first player object OB101 shoots the ball OB103 centered by the second player object OB102 according to the user's operation, and this shot is shot. It is a game in which an experience value is acquired according to the determination result of the operation timing. The shooting operation is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 5 times), and an experience value calculated based on the timing determination result of the predetermined number of shooting operations is given to the base player character.

  A display area A113 and a display area A114 are also displayed on the game screen G108 of FIG. The display area A113 is a display area for displaying experience values acquired as a result of shooting. The display area A114 is a display area for displaying the timing determination result of each shooting operation.

  When the touch screen of the terminal 10 receives a tap operation while the game screen G108 of FIG. 9 is displayed, an animation in which the second player object OB102 centers the ball object OB103 is displayed. That is, the state in which the ball object OB103 moves in a mountain from the position of the second player object OB102 toward the position of the first player object OB101 is displayed by animation. In the example described below, the second player object OB102 performs the centering of the ball object OB103 in accordance with the user's operation. However, the centering is performed regardless of the user's operation. May be. For example, the centering may be automatically performed when a predetermined time has passed since the centering became possible.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of the game screen G109 on which the centered ball object OB103 is displayed. As shown in FIG. 10, on the game screen G109, in addition to the first player object OB101, the second player object OB102, and the ball object OB103, a shoot type instruction for instructing the shoot type (shoot type) to the user. An object OB105 is displayed. For example, a plurality of types of shoot types (for example, heading shoot, overhead shoot, volley shoot, etc.) may be determined, and the trajectory of the ball object 103 by centering may be different for each shoot type.

  After the centering is performed, when the touch panel of the terminal 10 accepts a tap operation, the result of shooting is determined according to the timing of the tap operation. For example, when the difference (absolute value) from the reference timing determined in accordance with the shoot type is within a first threshold, it is excellent (PERFECT), and when it is larger than the first threshold and within the second threshold. Is determined to be good (GREAT), and when it is larger than the second threshold, it is determined to be impossible (MISS).

  In this case, the experience value obtained when the shoot result is PERFECT is the largest, and the experience value obtained when the shoot result is the MISS is the smallest. In the example described below, it is assumed that the experience values acquired when the shooting results are PERFECT, GREAT, and MISS are 25, 20, and 15, respectively. In addition, the reference timing determined according to the shoot type may be different for each shoot type, for example, the shoot type is the earliest when the heading shoot is, and the shoot type is the latest when the shoot type is a volley shoot. Good.

  Also, for example, if the tap operation is not performed within a predetermined time after the centering is performed, it may be determined that the operation is not possible (MISS), or the state is returned to the state shown in FIG. It is good as well.

  11 to 13 show an example of a shoot result display screen that displays a shoot result determined according to the timing of the tap operation. The shoot result display screen G1101 in FIG. 11 is when the shoot result is PERFECT, the shoot result display screen G1102 in FIG. 12 is when the shoot result is GREAT, and the shoot result display screen G1103 in FIG. 13 is when the shoot result is MISS. It corresponds to each.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the display area A113 displays the total of the experience values acquired as a result of shooting, and the display area A114 displays the result of each shooting. For example, regarding the shoot result display objects OB1071 to OB1075 displayed in the display area A114, the double circle corresponds to PERFECT, the circle corresponds to GREAT, and the cross corresponds to MISS.

  When a predetermined number of shots (for example, five times) have been shot, a result display screen is displayed that displays information on the experience value finally acquired based on the result of the shot.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of a result display screen G111 displayed after the shoot result of FIG. 13 is displayed. As shown in FIG. 14, a display area A1151, a display area A1152, a display area A1153, a display area A1154, and a screen element P501 are displayed on the result display screen G111. The display area A1151 is a display area for displaying a total (A) of experience values acquired as a result of shooting a predetermined number of times in the training game.

  The display area A1152 is a display area for displaying a combo bonus (B) acquired as a result of each shot of the action training game. The combo bonus is an addition of the experience value acquired when there is no MISS in the shoot result. As a specific example, for example, there is no MISS in the shoot result, and all the shoot results are PERFECT. In the case of 25, the MISS may not be MISS in the result of the shoot and may be 10 if the result of at least one shot is GREAT. The combo bonus may be 0 if the result of at least one shot is MISS.

  The display area A1153 is a display area for displaying the used game points (C). The display area A1154 is a display area for displaying the experience value (D) finally obtained. Here, the experience value (D) to be finally acquired is the game point (C) to be used as the sum of the experience value (A) acquired as a result of each shot of the training game and the combo bonus (B). It may be calculated by multiplication (that is, D = (A + B) × C). Screen element P501 is an icon associated with a process for proceeding to the next game screen.

  When the screen element P501 is selected on the result display screen G111 in FIG. 14, a training result display screen G112 for displaying the result of the second training is displayed.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of a training result display screen G112 that displays the result of the second training. Each item displayed on the training result display screen G112 shown in FIG. 15 corresponds to the training result display screen G106 shown in FIG. However, in the training result display screen G112 for displaying the result of the second training, as shown in the display area A102, the game points used by the user before the second training are used in the second training. Game points have been subtracted. Further, as shown in the display area A103, since funds are not required when executing the second training, the funds held by the user are not reduced before and after the second training. Funds may be required when executing the second training. The above is the screen transition example of the process related to the second training.

[3. Functions realized in game system 1]
Next, a configuration for realizing the functions described above will be described. FIG. 16 is a functional block diagram showing functions related to the present invention among the functions realized by the game system 1.

  As illustrated in FIG. 16, the terminal 10 includes a game execution unit 110 and a usage amount designation receiving unit 120 as functions. In the terminal 10, each function included in the terminal 10 may be realized by the processing performed by the control unit 11 of the terminal 10 according to a program stored in the storage unit 12.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 16, the game server 30 functions as a data storage unit 310, a first performance improvement unit 320, a point grant unit 330, a usage amount acquisition unit 340, a game execution permission unit 350, and a point reduction unit 360. The second performance improving unit 370 is included. In the game server 30, the above-described functions included in the game server 30 may be realized by causing the control unit 31 of the game server 30 to execute processing according to a program stored in the storage unit 32. Hereinafter, details of functions realized by the game system 1 will be described.

[3.1. Data storage unit 310]
The data storage unit 310 is mainly realized by the storage unit 32 of the game server 30. Data storage unit 310 may be realized by a storage unit included in another device capable of data communication with game server 30. The data storage unit 310 stores various data necessary for a game executed in the game system 1. For example, the data storage unit 310 includes “game character” information used in a game executed in the game system 1, “game character” information held by each user, and data indicating the state of each user in the game. In addition, information for controlling a game executed using the “game character” is stored.

  The “game character” is a character that appears in the game. For example, a “game character” may be used by a user in a game. Here, the “game character” may indicate a person or a person other than a person (for example, an animal or a machine such as a robot). Further, the “game character” may indicate a real person or animal, or may indicate a fictitious person or animal. For example, in the case of a sports game, the “game character” is a game character indicating a player. Specifically, in the case of a soccer game, the “game character” is a game character indicating a soccer player.

  For example, the “game character” may be given to the user in the game. Further, for example, “game characters” may be collected by the user. The “game character” may be given to the user in the form of a game card. That is, a game card indicating “game character” may be given to the user.

  Further, for example, the “game character” may be operated according to a user operation. For example, in the case of a game in which the game character operates in the game space, the operation of the game character may be controlled according to the user's operation.

  Further, for example, the “game character” may be a target for training by the user. That is, the performance of the “game character” may be improved by the user. For example, the performance of the “game character” may be improved by the user executing the game.

  The “performance” of the game character is, for example, the ability of the game character. For example, when the game character represents a soccer player, the ability such as attack power, defense power, technique, running power, stamina, etc. corresponds to “performance”. For example, the performance of the game character may be represented by a parameter.

  Note that the above “parameter” is information indicating the magnitude or height of performance. For example, the “parameter” may be numerical information indicating the magnitude or height of the performance. Further, for example, the “parameter” is not limited to numerical information, and may be information other than numerical information. For example, when “attack power” is represented by an attack power parameter, the higher the attack power parameter value (or the lower the attack power parameter value), the higher the attack power may be. The same applies to defensive power, technique, running power, stamina, etc.

  For example, the performance of the game character is considered in the case described below. For example, the comparison of the superiority and inferiority of the game character is performed based on the performance of the game character. For example, in the case of a game in which game characters battle each other, winning or losing of the battle may be determined based on the performance of the game characters that battle. That is, it is good also as determining the victory or defeat of a battle | competition by comparing performance between the game characters to fight. Similarly, in the case of a game in which game character groups (for example, teams or parties) play against each other, the winning or losing of the battle may be determined based on the performance of the game characters belonging to the game character group to play against. That is, it is good also as determining the victory or defeat of a battle | competition by comparing the performance of the game character which belongs to a game character between the game character groups to fight.

  For example, in the case of a game in which the game character moves in the game space, the action of the game character may be controlled based on the performance of the game character. For example, whether or not the action of the game character is successful may be determined based on the performance of the game character. For example, in the case of a soccer game, whether or not the game character's shoot or pass is successful may be determined based on the game character's attack power (eg, shoot power or pass power). Further, for example, in the case of a game in which a game character attacks an enemy to cause damage, whether or not the enemy is damaged by the attack of the game character may be determined based on the attack power of the game character.

  Further, for example, when the action of the game character affects the target, the degree of the influence given to the target may be determined based on the performance of the game character. Further, for example, when the action of the game character affects the target, the behavior of the target after the action of the game character is performed may be determined based on the performance of the game character. For example, in the case of a soccer game, the moving speed of the ball shot or passed by the game character may be determined based on the attack power (for example, shooting power or pass power) of the game character. For example, in the case of a game in which a game character attacks an enemy, the magnitude of damage that the game character causes to the enemy may be determined based on the attack power of the game character.

  Hereinafter, a user data management table TBL101, a player character data management table TBL102, and a user possessed player character data management table TBL103, which are examples of data stored in the data storage unit 310, will be described. Hereinafter, a case where the “game character” is a soccer player character will be described as an example.

[3.1.1. User data management table TBL101]
FIG. 17 shows an example of the user data management table TBL101. For example, the user data management table TBL101 stores data indicating the state of the user in the game. For example, the data indicating the user's state includes the user level, the user experience value, the user's game points, the user's game funds, the user's items, the user's game task achievement status, In-game ranking may be included.

  In the example shown in FIG. 17, in the user data management table TBL101, the user's “level”, “experience value”, “game points”, “game funds”, etc. are associated with the “user ID” that identifies the user. Information about the item is stored. For example, as the “experience value”, a cumulative value of experience values given to the user may be stored. For example, when the cumulative value of the experience values given to the user is equal to or higher than a specific threshold, the user's level is increased to a level corresponding to the specific threshold. The threshold value corresponding to each user level may be determined in advance or may be calculated based on a predetermined mathematical formula. For example, “game points” include “currently held value” that indicates the value of the game point that the user currently holds, and “upper limit value” that indicates the upper limit of the game points that the user can hold. Information may be stored.

[3.1.2. Player character data management table TBL102]
FIG. 18 shows an example of the player character data management table TBL102. For example, information on player characters (an example of game characters) provided in the game is stored in the player character data management table TBL102.

  In the example shown in FIG. 18, in the player character data management table TBL102, “name” of the player character, “image” for specifying the player character image data, in association with the “player character ID” for identifying the player character, “Skill” of the player character, “cost” of the player character, “maximum level” indicating the maximum value of the player character, “position” of the player character, “ability (initial value)” of the player character, “ Information about items such as “rare degree” is stored. The above “ability (initial value)” may be “ability” when the level of the player character is an initial value (for example, 1). Also, for example, “abilities” are “OFFENCE”, “DEFENCE”, “TECHNIQUE”, “SPEED”, “POWER”, “endurance” of the player character. Each value of “STAMINA” may be included. The “rare degree” indicates the rarity of the player character. For example, “Super Rare (SR) +”, “Super Rare (SR)”, “Rare (R) +”, “Rare (R)”, “Normal (N) +”, “Normal (N)”, etc. Is set as the rarity of each player character. In the above example, “Super rare (SR) +” is arranged in order of increasing rarity. In general, the higher the rarity of the player character, the higher the performance of the player character.

[3.1.3. User-owned player character data management table TBL103]
FIG. 19 shows an example of the user-owned player character data management table TBL103. For example, information on player characters held by the user is stored in the user-owned player character data management table TBL103.

  In the example shown in FIG. 19, in the user-owned player character data management table TBL103, a “player character ID” for identifying a player character held by the user in association with a “user ID” for identifying the user, individual player characters “Serial number” that uniquely identifies the player character, “Level (current value)” indicating the current level of the player character, “Experience value” indicating the cumulative value of the experience value assigned to the player character, “Ability ( Information about items such as “current value” ”is stored. When the user has a plurality of the same player characters, the “player character IDs” of the player characters are the same, but the “serial numbers” are different. The “ability (current value)” may be, for example, the “ability” of the player character when the level of the player character is the value indicated by the “level (current value)”. Further, for example, when the cumulative value of the experience values given to the player character is equal to or higher than a specific threshold value, the level of the player character is increased to a level corresponding to the specific threshold value. The threshold value corresponding to each player character level may be determined in advance, or may be calculated based on a predetermined mathematical formula.

[3.2. First performance improvement unit 320]
The first performance improvement unit 320 is mainly realized by the control unit 31 and the storage unit 32 of the game server 30.

  The 1st performance improvement part 320 improves the performance of a player character (an example of a game character) based on another player character.

  For example, in the game described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 15, the process of improving the performance of the player character by the first training corresponds to the process executed by the first performance improvement unit 320. That is, the 1st performance improvement part 320 improves the performance of the player character selected as a base player character (player character for performance improvement) based on other player characters selected as a trainer player character. .

  For example, the first performance improving unit 320 may improve the performance of the base player character in exchange for the trainer player character. In other words, the 1st performance improvement part 320 is good as consuming a trainer player character and improving the performance of a base player character. In other words, the first performance improving unit 320 removes the trainer player character used for improving the performance of the base player character from the player character held by the user (that is, the player owned by the user is removed). The performance of the base player character may be improved in exchange for removing from the data indicating the list of characters.

  For example, the first performance improvement unit 320 may increase the experience value stored in association with the base player character by consuming the trainer player character. For example, the above “experience value stored in association with the base player character” is a cumulative value of experience values given to the base player character. Note that the cumulative value of the experience value is set to 0 as the initial value, and whenever the amount of change (increase) in the experience value given to the base player character is determined, It is updated by adding the amount of change (increase). In addition, the 1st performance improvement part 320 is good also as determining the variation | change_quantity (increase amount) of experience value based on the information of a trainer player character, or the information of a base player character and a trainer player character. For example, the first performance improvement unit 320 assigns at least one parameter of “level”, “ability”, and “rare degree” of the trainer player character to a predetermined calculation formula and changes the experience value described above. The amount may be calculated. Further, for example, the first performance improvement unit 320 may include at least one of the parameters “level”, “ability”, and “rare degree” of the base player character, and the “level”, “ability”, “ It is also possible to calculate the amount of change in the experience value by substituting at least one parameter of “rare degree” into a predetermined calculation formula.

  Here, the 1st performance improvement part 320 is good also as improving the performance of a base player character, when the experience value of a base player character reaches a reference value. For example, the first performance improvement unit 320 increases the level of the base player character to a level corresponding to the specific threshold when the accumulated value of the experience values of the base player character exceeds a specific threshold, It is good also as improving the capability of a player character to the value according to the level after an update. The threshold corresponding to each level of the base player character may be determined in advance, or may be calculated based on a predetermined mathematical formula.

  For example, the 1st performance improvement part 320 is good also as consuming the game money which a user holds with a trainer player character, when improving the performance of a base player character. Here, the amount of game funds consumed for improving the performance of the base player character may be determined based on the level of the base player character and the amount of experience earned by the consumption of the trainer player character. Good. In addition, the first performance improvement unit 320 performs control so as not to execute the process of improving the performance of the base player character when the determined amount of game funds exceeds the game funds held by the user. Also good.

  Moreover, said base player character and trainer player character may be designated by the user, for example. Here, the base player character and the trainer player character may be designated from among the player characters owned by the user. For example, the 1st performance improvement part 320 is good also as acquiring the information of the base player character and trainer player character designated by the user from the terminal 10.

  Moreover, when improving the performance of a base player character, the 1st performance improvement part 320 is updating the information (for example, parameter) which shows the performance of a base player character so that the performance of a base player character may improve. Good. For example, in the case where the higher the parameter value indicates, the higher the performance, the higher the parameter value corresponds to improving the performance of the base player character. Further, for example, when the parameter value indicates that the performance is higher as the parameter value is lower, reducing the parameter value corresponds to improving the performance of the base player character.

[3.3. Point granting unit 330]
The point granting unit 330 is mainly realized by the control unit 31 and the storage unit 32 of the game server 30.

  The point giving unit 330 gives game points (an example of points) to the user based on the passage of time. For example, the point giving unit 330 may give game points to the user as time progresses. Further, for example, the point giving unit 330 may give a predetermined amount of game points to the user every time a predetermined time elapses. For example, the point granting unit 330 may give the user game points in an amount corresponding to the length of time that has elapsed. Specifically, the point giving unit 330 may give the game points to the user by increasing the amount of game points held by the user. More specifically, the point granting unit 330 may give the game points to the user by increasing the remaining game points stored in association with the user identification information (user ID).

  Further, for example, the point giving unit 330 may give the user game points based on the passage of time so as not to exceed the upper limit of game points that the user can hold. That is, as a result of giving the game points to the user based on the passage of time, the point giving unit 330 gives the game points to the user when the game points held by the user reach the upper limit determined by the user. It is good also as stopping. The “upper limit value determined by the user” may be determined based on the user level.

  The “game point” is given to the user and can be used for a predetermined purpose. The “game points held by the user” are points that can be used arbitrarily by the user.

  For example, the above “game points” can be used to improve the performance of the player character. In this embodiment, the “game point” is a point used for executing the action training game (an example of a game for improving the performance of the player character) described on the game screens of FIGS. is there. The “game point” is also used to execute a game other than the action training game. For example, the “game point” is also used to execute a battle game (an example of a game in which a game character is used to play a battle against an opponent) in which a soccer game is played with the opponent team. Further, for example, the “game point” may be used for a game other than the battle game. Specifically, the “game point” may be used, for example, to execute a game for searching for (scouting) player characters. In addition, for example, in the case of a game in which a user searches for a tower, a cave, a ruin, or the like using a game character, the “game point” may be used to advance the search. In addition, for example, in the case of a game in which a user constructs a facility in the game space and expands the territory, the “game point” may be used to advance the construction of the facility.

[3.4. Usage designation receiving unit 120]
The usage amount designation receiving unit 120 is mainly realized by the control unit 11, the storage unit 12, the communication unit 13, the input unit 14, and the display unit 15 of the terminal 10.

  The usage amount designation receiving unit 120 accepts designation of the amount of game points used for improving the performance of the player character from among the game points held by the user. For example, the usage amount designation accepting unit 120 may accept designation of the amount of game points below a predetermined upper limit among the game points held by the user from the user.

  For example, in the game described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 15, the usage amount designation receiving unit 120 displays the usage point designation screen G107 (shown in order to improve the performance of the player character) shown in FIG. The designation of the amount of game points to be used is accepted based on an input made on an example of a screen for accepting designation of the amount of game points to be used from the user. Here, the use point designation screen G107 may be displayed on the display unit 15 of the terminal 10 based on the control process of the game server 30.

  As described above, the use point designation screen G107 includes the point designation area A111 (an example of the first area) indicating the amount of game points and the summary display area A112 (second display) indicating information related to the amount of increase in the experience value. An example of a region). Then, on the use point designation screen G107, the amount of game points displayed in the point designation area A111 may be changed in accordance with an up / down flick operation (an example of the first user operation) on the input field P401. . Further, on the use point designation screen G107, information displayed on the summary display area A112 (information on the amount of increase in experience value) changes according to a change in the amount of game points displayed on the point designation area A111. Also good. Then, the usage amount designation receiving unit 120 determines the amount of game points displayed in the point designation area A111 when the screen element P303 is selected (an example of the user's second operation), and the performance of the player character. It is good also as accepting as the quantity of the game point used in order to improve.

  When the amount of game points displayed in the point specification area A111 changes on the use point specification screen G107, the amount of increase in the experience value displayed in the summary display area A112 is changed from the value before change to the value after change. It is good also as making it change continuously or in steps.

  Further, the usage amount designation receiving unit 120 may transmit the designated amount of game points used for improving the performance of the player character to the game server 30 by the communication unit 13.

[3.5. Usage acquisition unit 340]
The usage amount acquisition unit 340 is mainly realized by the control unit 31, the storage unit 32, and the communication unit 33 of the game server 30.

  The usage amount acquisition unit 340 acquires the amount of points designated by the user as game points used for improving the performance of the player character. For example, the usage amount acquisition unit 340 may acquire the amount of game points received by the usage amount specification reception unit 120 of the terminal 10 as a game point used for improving the performance of the player character. In addition, for example, the usage amount acquisition unit 340 may receive and acquire the amount of game points used for improving the performance of the player character received by the usage amount designation reception unit 120 from the terminal 10.

[3.6. Game execution permission unit 350]
The game execution permission unit 350 is mainly realized by the control unit 31, the storage unit 32, and the communication unit 33 of the game server 30.

  The game execution permission unit 350 uses the game points given to the user to execute the action training game (an example of a game for improving the performance of the player character) described on the game screens of FIGS. 9 to 13. To give permission. For example, the game execution permission unit 350 permits the execution of the action training game using the amount of game points acquired by the usage amount acquisition unit 340 among the game points given to the user.

  The “game for improving the performance of the player character” is a game in which the performance of the player character is improved by the user playing. In addition, in the above-mentioned “game for improving the performance of the player character”, a game that leads to an improvement in the performance of the player character when the user plays (for example, when the user plays, the experience value of the player character increases) Game).

  For example, the above “permit game execution” may be a state in which the game can be executed. For example, “permit game execution” may be a state in which the user can play the game. In addition, for example, the “game permitting game execution” may display the game screen of the game on the display unit 15. Further, for example, “allowing game execution” may display a menu screen for executing the game on the display unit 15. In addition, for example, “permit execution of the game” may be to supply data necessary for executing the game to the terminal 10.

  In addition, for example, the game execution permission unit 350 uses a game point held by the user to perform a battle game in which a soccer game is played with the opponent team (an example of a game in which a game character is used to play a battle with the opponent). ) Execution may be permitted. Note that the points used for executing the battle game may be determined in advance.

[3.7. Game execution unit 110]
The game execution unit 110 is mainly realized by the control unit 11, the storage unit 12, the communication unit 13, the input unit 14, and the display unit 15 of the terminal 10.

  The game execution unit 110 executes the game permitted by the game execution permission unit 350. For example, the game execution unit 110 is permitted by the game execution permission unit 350 to execute a battle game in which a soccer game is played with an opponent team (an example of a game in which a game character is used to play a battle with an opponent). In the case, a battle game is executed. Further, for example, the game execution unit 110 executes the action training game when the execution of the action training game (an example of a game for improving the performance of the game character) is permitted by the game execution permission unit 350.

  For example, when an action training game is executed, the game execution unit 110 may record the game results of the executed action training game and provide the recorded game results to the game server 30.

  Here, the above “game score” is a score that the user has stored in the game. For example, a game in which a user's operation is evaluated based on an evaluation criterion, such as an action training game (for example, a reference timing (exemplary timing) at which the user should perform an operation) and a timing at which the user actually performs an operation In the case of a game in which the user's operation is highly evaluated as the gap is small, the evaluation result for the user may correspond to “game score”.

  Also, for example, in the case of a game where the user aims to determine a goal at each of a predetermined number of shooting opportunities, such as an action training game, the number of goals determined by the user corresponds to “the degree of achievement of the user's goal” It is good to do.

  For example, in the case of a game in which points are given to the user, the score (score) obtained by the user may correspond to “game score”. Further, for example, in the case of a game in which a goal to be achieved by the user is set and the user aims to achieve the goal, the “game” indicates whether the user has achieved the goal or whether or not the user has achieved the goal. It may be equivalent to “grading”. For example, in the case of a game in which the user aims to win the battle, whether or not the user has won the battle corresponds to “whether or not the user has achieved the goal”. It is good.

[3.8. Point reduction unit 360]
The point reduction unit 360 is mainly realized by the control unit 31 and the storage unit 32 of the game server 30.

  The point reduction unit 360 reduces the game points owned by the user. For example, the point reduction unit 360 is a game point held by the user when a battle game (an example of a game in which a game character is used to play a battle with an opponent) is executed. May be reduced. Further, for example, the point reduction unit 360 may reduce the game points held by the user when an action training game (an example of a game for improving the performance of a game character) is executed.

  For example, when the battle game is executed, the point reduction unit 360 subtracts the game points determined for the battle game from the game points held by the user (that is, the game points associated with the user ID) It is good also as updating the game point which a user holds.

  For example, when the action training game is executed, the point reduction unit 360 may reduce the game points held by the user based on the amount of game points acquired by the usage amount acquisition unit 340. . For example, the point reduction unit 360 subtracts the game points acquired by the usage amount acquisition unit 340 from the game points held by the user (that is, the game points associated with the user ID) to obtain the game points held by the user. It may be updated.

[3.9. Second performance improvement unit 370]
The second performance improvement unit 370 is mainly realized by the control unit 31, the storage unit 32, and the communication unit 33 of the game server 30.

  The 2nd performance improvement part 370 improves the performance of a player character using the game point provided to the user by the point provision part 330. FIG.

  For example, in the game described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 15, the process of improving the performance of the player character by the second training corresponds to the process executed by the second performance improvement unit 370. In other words, the first performance improvement unit 370 improves the performance of the player character selected as the base player character (player character targeted for performance improvement) using at least some game points given to the user. Let

  For example, the second performance improvement unit 370 may improve the performance of the base player character in exchange for at least some game points given to the user. In other words, the 2nd performance improvement part 370 is good as consuming at least one part game point provided to the user and improving the performance of a base player character. In other words, the second performance improvement unit 370 improves the performance of the base player character and reduces the game points owned by the user (that is, the remaining game points stored in association with the user identification information). The amount may be reduced).

  Moreover, said base player character may be designated by the user, for example. Here, the base player character may be designated from among the player characters owned by the user. For example, the 2nd performance improvement part 370 is good also as acquiring the information of the base player character designated from the user from the terminal 10. FIG.

  Further, for example, the second performance improvement unit 370 may improve the performance of the base player character based on the amount of game points acquired by the usage amount acquisition unit 340. For example, the 2nd performance improvement part 370 is good also as improving the performance of a base player character by consuming the game point of the quantity acquired by the usage-amount acquisition part 340. FIG.

  For example, the 2nd performance improvement part 370 is good also as improving the performance of a base player character based on the user's game result in the action training game performed by the game execution part 110. FIG. Further, for example, the second performance improvement unit 370 may be configured to base the base player character on the basis of the game results of the user in the action training game executed by the game execution unit 110 and the amount of game points acquired by the usage amount acquisition unit 340. It is good also as improving the performance.

  The second performance improvement unit 370 includes a change amount determination unit 371, a numerical value change unit 372, and a performance improvement unit 373, and may realize the above-described functions by processing executed in each unit. Hereinafter, details of functions included in the second performance improvement unit 370 will be described.

[3.9.1. Change amount determination unit 371]
The change amount determination unit 371 determines the amount of increase in the experience value of the base player character (an example of a numerical value associated with the game character) based on the user's game results in the second game executed by the game execution unit 110. To do. For example, the change amount determination unit 371 may increase the increase amount of the experience value as the game result is better (higher). In other words, the change amount determination unit 371 may decrease the increase amount of the experience value as the game result is worse (lower). Further, for example, the change amount determination unit 371 acquires an increase amount corresponding to the game result of the user based on information indicating a correspondence relationship between the game result and the increase amount, and uses the increase amount as an increase amount of the experience value. It may be determined. Note that the information indicating the correspondence relationship may be a table or a mathematical expression. In addition, the change amount determination unit 371 reduces the experience value of the base player character (an example of a numerical value associated with the game character) based on the user's game results in the second game executed by the game execution unit 110. May be determined.

  Also, for example, the change amount determination unit 371 is based on the experience of the base player character based on the game results of the user in the action training game executed by the game execution unit 110 and the amount of game points acquired by the usage amount acquisition unit 340. It is good also as determining the increase amount of a value. Specifically, the change amount determination unit 371 multiplies the change amount of the experience value per unit game point determined by the above-described game results by the amount of game points acquired by the usage amount acquisition unit 340 to obtain the experience. The amount of change in value may be determined.

[3.9.2. Numerical value change unit 372]
The numerical value changing unit 372 increases the experience value of the base player character when the action training game is executed by the game executing unit 110. Further, for example, the numerical value changing unit 372 may increase the experience value of the base player character based on the change amount (increase amount) determined by the change amount determining unit 371. Further, for example, the numerical value changing unit 372 may decrease the numerical value (for example, experience value) of the base player character based on the change amount (decrease amount) determined by the change amount determining unit 371.

[3.9.3. Performance improvement unit 373]
The performance improvement unit 373 improves the performance of the base player character when the experience value of the base player character reaches the reference value. Moreover, when improving the performance of a base player character, the performance improvement part 373 is good also as updating the information (for example, parameter) which shows the performance of a base player character so that the performance of a base player character may improve. For example, in the case where the higher the parameter value indicates, the higher the performance, the higher the parameter value corresponds to improving the performance of the base player character. Further, for example, when the parameter value indicates that the performance is higher as the parameter value is lower, reducing the parameter value corresponds to improving the performance of the base player character.

  The experience value of the player character is a value that increases, and when the experience value is increased to the reference value, the player character is upgraded and the performance of the player character is improved. Instead of storing such experience values in association with the player character, the remaining value until the player character levels up (another example of the numerical value stored in association with the game character) is stored in association with the player character. It may be. This remaining value is a decreasing value, and when this remaining value is reduced to a reference value (for example, zero), the player character may be leveled up and the performance of the player character may be improved.

[4. Processing executed in game system 1]
20 to 22 are diagrams showing processing executed in the game system 1. 20 to 22, the process related to the terminal 10 is executed by the control unit 11 of the terminal 10 based on the program stored in the storage unit 12, and the process related to the game server 30 is executed by the control unit 31 of the game server 30. The program is executed based on the program stored in the program No. 32.

[4.1. First training control process]
FIG. 20 is a sequence diagram according to an example of a first training control process for improving the performance of a player character based on other player characters. The following processing is an example of processing after the screen element P303 in the display area A107 is selected on the training content confirmation screen G105 shown in FIG. In other words, an example of processing executed after the base player character (player character to be improved in performance) and the trainer player character (player character consumed to improve the performance of the base player character) are determined. Explain.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the control unit 11 of the terminal 10 transmits information on the base player character and the trainer player character to the game server 30 through the communication unit 13 (S100). For example, the base player character and trainer player character information may be the respective player character ID and serial number.

  The control unit 31 of the game server 30 receives the base player character and trainer player character information transmitted from the terminal 10 by the communication unit 33 (S300).

  Next, the control unit 31 of the game server 30 updates the parameters of the base player character based on the base player character and trainer player character information received in S300 (S302). For example, the process of S302 may be executed by the first performance improvement unit 320 provided in the game server. Specifically, the control part 31 of a game server increases the experience value of a base player character based on the increment of the experience value determined based on the information of a base player character and a trainer player character. Then, when the increased experience value of the base player character reaches the reference value, the control unit 31 of the game server 30 improves the level of the base player character, and according to the improved level, The value of the parameter of the ability (attack power, defense power, etc.) may be increased.

  The control unit 31 of the game server 30 cancels the possession state of the trainer player character used for improving the performance of the base player character (S304). For example, the control unit 31 of the game server 30 searches for a record stored in the user possessed player character data management table TBL103 using the user ID, the player character ID of the trainer player character, and the serial number as keys, and deletes the searched record. By doing so, the possession state of the trainer player character may be canceled.

  The control unit 31 of the game server 30 transmits the training result to the terminal 10 through the communication unit 33 (S306). For example, the training result may include presence / absence of level improvement and updated parameters (level, experience value, ability, etc.) of the base player character.

  The control unit 11 of the terminal 10 receives the training result transmitted from the game server 30 by the communication unit 13 (S102), and causes the display unit 15 to display the received training result (S104). For example, the training result display screen G106 illustrated in FIG. 7 corresponds to an example of the training result displayed on the display unit 15 in S104.

[4.2. Second training control process]
FIG. 21 is a sequence diagram according to an example of a second training control process for improving the performance of the player character based on the game results of the action training game executed using the game points owned by the user. The following processing is an example of processing after the screen element P303 of the display area A112 is selected on the use point designation screen G107 shown in FIG. In the example of this sequence, it is assumed that on the use point designation screen G107, the user has designated the use game point within the range of the game points held and within the upper limit value of the game points that can be designated.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the control unit 11 of the terminal 10 transmits information on the base player character and the used game points to the game server 30 through the communication unit 13 (S120). For example, the base player character and used game point information may be the player character ID and serial number of the base player character and the amount of game points used.

  The control unit 31 of the game server 30 receives the base player character and usage point information transmitted from the terminal 10 by the communication unit 33 (S320). And the control part 31 of the game server 30 transmits the execution permission of the action training game performed using a game point about a base player character with respect to the terminal 10 with respect to the terminal 10 based on the information received by S320. (S322).

  When the control unit 11 of the terminal 10 receives the execution permission of the action training game from the game server 30 through the communication unit 13 (S122), the control unit 11 executes the action training game (S124). Here, details of the action training game execution process will be described later.

  When the action training game of S124 ends, the control unit 11 of the terminal 10 transmits score data indicating the user's game results in the action training game to the game server 30 through the communication unit 13 (S126).

  The control unit 31 of the game server receives the result data of the action training game transmitted from the terminal 10 by the communication unit 33 (S324).

  Next, the control unit 31 of the game server updates the parameters of the base player character based on the result data of the action training game received in S324 (S326). For example, the process of S326 may be executed by the second performance improvement unit 370 provided in the game server 30. Specifically, the control unit 31 of the game server increases the experience value of the base player character based on the increment of the experience value determined based on the result data of the action training game. Then, when the increased experience value of the base player character reaches the reference value, the control unit 31 of the game server 30 improves the level of the base player character, and according to the improved level, The value of the parameter of the ability (attack power, defense power, etc.) may be increased.

  The control unit 31 of the game server 30 subtracts the used game points (the amount of game points used to execute the action training game) received in S320 from the game points (held game points) held by the user, The owned game points are updated (S328). Note that the process of S328 may be performed between S320 and S330, and may be performed after S320, for example.

  And the control part 31 of the game server 30 transmits an action training result with respect to the terminal 10 by the communication part 33 (S330). For example, the action training result may include presence / absence of level improvement and updated parameters (level, experience value, ability, etc.) of the base player character.

  The control unit 11 of the terminal 10 receives the action training result transmitted from the game server 30 by the communication unit 13 (S128), and displays the received action training result on the display unit 15 (S130). For example, the action training result display screen G112 shown in FIG. 15 corresponds to an example of the action training result displayed on the display unit 15 in S130.

[4.3. Action training game control process]
FIG. 22 is a flowchart according to an example of the control process of the action training game executed in S124 of FIG. Note that the following processing is an example of processing after the game screen shown in FIG. 9 is displayed.

  When the tap operation is not performed on the input unit 14 (S150: N), the control unit 11 of the terminal 10 stands by, and when the tap operation is performed on the input unit 14 (S150: Y) A shoot type is set from a plurality of shoot types (S152). The plurality of shoot types are, for example, a heading shoot, an overhead shoot, and a volley shoot. Further, the shoot type set in S152 may be, for example, a shoot type selected from a plurality of shoot types according to a predetermined standard, or a shoot randomly selected from a plurality of shoot types. It may be a type.

  The control unit 11 of the terminal 10 starts shoot training based on the shoot type set in S152 (S154). For example, as described in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, in the shot training, the ball object centered by the second player object OB102 at the first timing designated by the user (that is, by the first tap operation) May be related to the practice of shooting by the first player object OB101 at the second timing specified by (i.e., at the timing of the second tap operation).

  When the next tap operation (second tap operation) is not performed within a predetermined time after the tap operation (first tap operation) is performed in S150, the control unit 11 of the terminal 10 (S156). : N), return to S150.

  In addition, when the next tap operation (second tap operation) is performed within a predetermined time after the tap operation is performed in S150, the control unit 11 of the terminal 10 performs the tap operation (S156: Y). The timing of (second tap operation) is evaluated (S158). For example, the control unit 11 of the terminal 10 may evaluate the time difference (absolute value) between the reference timing determined according to the shoot type and the timing of the second tap operation. And the control part 11 of the terminal 10 is good as determining a shoot result based on said time difference.

  And the control part 11 of the terminal 10 displays the shoot result based on the evaluation result of S158 on the display part 15 (S160), and records the shoot result (S162). For example, the game screens of FIGS. 11 to 13 correspond to an example of the shoot result displayed on the display unit 15 in S160.

  When the number of shot trainings (that is, the number of shot results) has not reached a predetermined number (for example, 5 times) (S164: N), the control unit 11 of the terminal 10 returns to S150 and the number of shot trainings is predetermined. When the number of times has been reached (S164: Y), score data indicating the game score is generated based on the shoot result recorded in S162 (S166), and the action training game execution process is exited.

  According to the game system 1 described above, as a method for the user to improve the ability of the player character (base player character), in addition to the first training using the other player character (trainer player character), the user can improve the ability of the player character (base player character) over time. The user is provided with a second training (action training game) that uses the game points given to the user. For this reason, for example, when the user does not have a player character that can be selected as the trainer player character, or when the game funds necessary for the first training are insufficient, the player character is obtained by the first training. Even if the ability of the game character cannot be improved, the user performs the second training (action training game) by using the game points obtained after the time has passed, so that the ability of the game character is improved. It becomes possible to improve.

  In addition, since game points are given to the user based on the passage of time, the amount of game points that can be acquired by the user within a certain time range is limited. For this reason, the second training (action training game) using the game points is frequently used, so that the ability of the player character does not rapidly increase and the balance of the game can be prevented from being lost.

  As described above, according to the game system 1, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of inconvenience due to the inability to improve the ability of the player character while ensuring that the balance of the game is not lost.

  In the game system 1, an upper limit of game points that can be held by the user is set, and points are given to the user based on the passage of time so as not to exceed the upper limit. For this reason, the amount of game points given to the user based on the passage of time is limited. If an excessively large number of game points are given to the user, the user can easily greatly improve the ability of the player character by frequently using the second training (action training game). As a result, the balance of the game may be lost. In this regard, in the game system 1, by setting an upper limit of game points that can be held by the user, an excessively large number of game points are not given to the user. For this reason, the user needs to improve the ability of the player character using limited game points. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game from being out of balance.

  Further, in the game system 1, the user can arbitrarily specify the amount of game points to be used for performing the second training (the action training game (see FIG. 8). Adjust whether one player character's ability is relatively greatly improved using the game points held by the player, or whether the ability of multiple player characters is improved relatively small using the game points owned by the player In other words, the user can strategically improve the performance of the player character by using the game points owned by the user. It is possible to improve the strategy of improving the performance of the player character using the game points to be played.

  In the game system 1, in the second training, the user can improve the ability of the player character based on the results of the action training game executed using the game points. As a result, it is possible to enhance the interest of using the game points to improve the player character's ability.

  Further, in the game system 1, when the user plays the action training game in the second training, when the experience value of the player character is increased and the numerical value reaches the reference value (that is, the numerical value reaches the reference value). When increased, the player character's ability improves. If it does in this way, the increase amount of the experience value of a player character comes to be determined based on the game result at the time of a user playing an action training game. In the game system 1, since the amount of increase in the experience value of the player character changes based on the user's game results, the speed until the experience value reaches the reference value varies depending on the user's game results. . In other words, the experience value reaches the reference value early or reaches the reference value later depending on the game results of the user. In this way, the user will aim to achieve a game result that results in the experience value reaching the reference value early, so it is possible to increase the motivation of the user when playing the action training game become.

  In the game system 1, information including the range of experience values that can be acquired based on the game points specified in the point specification area A111 is displayed in the summary display area A112 of the use point specification screen G107 (FIG. 8). . For this reason, the user can know how much game points can be used and how much the experience value of the player character can be increased. That is, before performing the second training (action training game), the user can know how much game points can be used to increase the experience value of the player character. Then, the user can determine how much game points are used based on the information. As a result, the user can use the game points effectively.

  In the game system 1, game points are used for an action training game (second training) and other games (for example, a battle game in which a player character is used to play a match with an opponent team). Will be used both for doing and for doing. For this reason, the user needs to consider whether his / her own game points are used to perform an action training game (second training) or another game (for example, a battle game). There is. In this way, it is possible to improve the strategy of how to use the game points that the player owns.

[5. Modified example]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

  (1) For example, the 1st performance improvement part 320 is good also as improving the performance of a player character (an example of a game character) based on a game item. The “game item” is used by a user in a game. For example, the “game item” may be given to the user in the game. Further, for example, the “game item” may be a target of collection by the user. In addition, for example, “game item” is an item in which at least a part of parameters (for example, level, experience value, ability, etc.) of the player character grows when the player character equips the player character. It is good also as an item in which a part of parameters (for example, level, experience value, ability, etc.) grow.

  (2) Moreover, for example, the 1st performance improvement part 320 is good also as improving the performance of a player character based on both another player character and a game item.

  (3) Also, for example, in the game system 1, the terminal 10 and the game server communicate to execute the game, but the terminal 10 may execute the game alone. In this case, the terminal 10 includes a data storage unit 310, a first performance improvement unit 320, a point grant unit 330, a usage amount acquisition unit 340, a game execution permission unit 350, a point reduction unit 360, and a second performance improvement unit. 370 may be included. In this case, the terminal 10 corresponds to an example of a game control device.

  (4) Further, for example, instead of the action training game, a game that does not require user operation may be executed. That is, the game for improving the performance of the player character using the game points given to the user may not require the user's operation. For example, the above game may be a game in which a result is determined without depending on a user operation. For example, in the above game, the user predicts the game result of the sport, and the match result (for example, win / loss, score, etc.) predicted by the user matches the game result (eg, win / loss, score, etc.) determined by the game system 1. It may be a game that determines a user's game results according to the degree. Further, for example, the above game may be a game in which a user's game result is determined according to a lottery result such as roulette.

  (5) Further, for example, the present invention can be applied to a game other than a game in which the user improves the performance of a game character indicating a soccer player. For example, the present invention can also be applied to a game in which the user improves the performance of a game character indicating a sport player other than soccer. Further, for example, the present invention can be applied to a game in which the user improves the performance of game characters other than the game character indicating a sports player.

  (6) Further, for example, the present invention can be applied to a game in which the user improves the performance of game objects other than game characters. Here, the “game object” is used by the user in the game. For example, a “game object” is given to a user in a game. Further, for example, “game object” is a target of collection by the user. For example, game characters, game items, game cards, in-game facilities, and the like correspond to “game objects”. The “in-game facility” is, for example, a facility constructed in the game (in the game space).

  The “performance of the game object” is, for example, the ability of the game object. For example, the performance of the game object is represented by a parameter.

  For example, when the game item corresponds to “game object”, the magnitude of the effect played by the game item corresponds to “performance”. For example, in the case of a game item used to attack an enemy, the attack power of the game item corresponds to “performance”. Further, for example, in the case of a game item used to defend against an attack from an enemy, the defense of the game item corresponds to “performance”. In addition, for example, in the case of a game item used to recover the physical strength of the game character, the recovery power of the game item (that is, how much the physical strength of the game character can be recovered) corresponds to “performance”.

  For example, when a game card corresponds to a “game object” as in a game in which a game is played using a game card, the attack power or defense power of the game card corresponds to “performance”. For example, when the in-game facility corresponds to a “game object” like a game in which the in-game facility is attacked by an enemy, the defense power of the in-game facility corresponds to “performance”.

  (7) For example, the above embodiment and the above modifications (1) to (6) may be appropriately combined.

[6. Addendum]
From the above description, the present invention is grasped as follows, for example.

  The game control device (30) according to the present invention provides a first performance improvement means (320) for improving the performance of a game character (for example, a player character) based on other game characters, and points to the user based on the passage of time. Point granting means (330) for granting the game character, and second performance improving means for improving the performance of the game character using the points (eg, game points) given to the user by the point granting means (330) (370).

  The game system according to the present invention includes a first performance improving means (320) for improving the performance of a game character based on other game characters, and a point providing means (330) for giving a user points based on the passage of time. And second performance improving means (370) for improving the performance of the game character using the points given to the user by the point giving means (330).

  The program according to the present invention includes a first performance improving means (320) for improving the performance of a game character based on other game characters, a point giving means (330) for giving a user points based on the passage of time, and A program for causing a computer to function as second performance improving means (370) for improving the performance of the game character using the points given to the user by the point giving means (330).

  An information storage medium according to the present invention is a computer-readable information storage medium storing the above program.

  In addition, in the control method of the game control device (30) according to the present invention, the first performance improvement step (S302) for improving the performance of the game character based on other game characters, and points to the user based on the passage of time. And a second performance improving step (S326) for improving the performance of the game character using the points given to the user by the point giving step.

  In addition, in the control method of the game system (1) according to the present invention, the first performance improvement step (S302) for improving the performance of the game character based on other game characters, and points to the user based on the passage of time. And a second performance improving step (S326) for improving the performance of the game character using the points given to the user by the point giving step.

  According to the present invention, as a method for the user to improve the performance of the game character, in addition to a method of using another game character, a method of using a point given to the user based on the passage of time is provided to the user. The For this reason, even if it is a case where the performance of a game character cannot be improved using another game character, by using the point which the user acquired after waiting for time, the performance of a game character It becomes possible to improve. Moreover, since the points are given to the user based on the passage of time, it is possible to prevent the balance of the game from being lost. For example, if a large number of points are given to the user at one time, the performance of the game character can be greatly improved using the points, and the balance of the game may be lost in some cases. is there. In this respect, according to the present invention, since points are given to the user based on the passage of time, it is possible to prevent the balance of the game from being lost. As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of inconvenience that the game gets stuck because the performance of the game character cannot be improved while ensuring that the balance of the game is not lost. .

  In one aspect of the present invention, in the game control device (30), the point giving means (330) points to the user based on the passage of time so as not to exceed an upper limit of points that can be held by the user. It is good to give. If it does in this way, a point will be given to a user based on progress of time so that the upper limit of the point which a user can hold is not exceeded. For this reason, the amount of points given to the user based on the passage of time is limited. If too many points are given to the user, the user can easily greatly improve the performance of the game character, and as a result, the balance of the game may be lost. In this respect, as described above, an excessively large number of points are not given to the user, and the user needs to improve the performance of the game character using the limited points. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game from being out of balance.

  In one aspect of the present invention, in the game control device (30), use amount acquisition means (340) for acquiring the amount of points designated by the user as points used for improving the performance of the game character.

The second performance improving means (370) may further include a change amount determining means (371) for determining an increase amount or a decrease amount of the numerical value based on the game result. In this way, when a user plays a game, a numerical value (for example, an experience value) stored in association with the game character is increased, and the numerical value reaches a reference value (that is, the numerical value is a reference value). The performance of the game character is improved. Alternatively, when the user plays a game, the numerical value stored in association with the game character is decreased, and when the numerical value reaches the reference value (that is, when the numerical value is decreased to the reference value), the game character Performance will be improved. And if it carries out as mentioned above, based on the game result at the time of a user playing a game, the increase amount or the decrease amount of the numerical value memorize | stored in connection with a game character will be determined. In this way, since the amount of increase or decrease of the numerical value stored in association with the game character changes based on the user's game results, the time until the numerical value reaches the reference value depends on the user's game results. Will change. That is, the numerical value reaches the reference value early or reaches the reference value later depending on the game results of the user. In this way, the user aims to achieve a game result such that the numerical value reaches the reference value at an early stage, so that the user's motivation when playing the game can be increased. Become.
