And as a result of this matching, when another player who owns a large number of game points becomes an opponent, the opponent's attack power is often higher than himself and it is difficult to win the battle It becomes. If you can win this opponent, you can increase your game points a lot, but you will almost lose, so your game points will decrease. When this defeat is repeated, the game points of the player gradually decrease, but the attack power gradually increases by repeating the battle. Eventually, when another player who owns a small amount of game points becomes an opponent, the opponent's attack power is often lower than himself, and this time it will be easier to win the battle, so your game points Will increase. That is, in this battle game, the battle is repeatedly performed while increasing / decreasing its own game points in this way, so that the game points are gradually increased in the long run.

However, in order to make it easier for the opponent to win, it is necessary to reduce their own game points. Therefore, in order to reduce their own game points, the player keeps defeating by repeatedly fighting over a long period of time. I had to. Therefore, there is a possibility that the player becomes tired to play repeatedly over a long period of time and loses the willingness to play. Also in the information processing apparatus, repeated battle requests for reducing the game points of each player are repeated by each of the plurality of players, which causes an increase in calculation load for determining the winning or losing of the battles.
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to improve the player's willingness to play and to activate a point contention type battle game.

<< About the configuration of the game system 1 >>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of the overall configuration of the game system 1. The game system 1 provides various services related to games to a player via a network 2 (for example, the Internet), and includes a server device 10 and a plurality of player terminals 20.

  The game system 1 according to the present embodiment can provide a player with a battle game using a character card (hereinafter also simply referred to as “character”) as an example of game content.

  In the battle game according to the present embodiment, the players who are opponents of each other battle each other, reduce the game points owned by the defeated player, and increase the game points owned by the winning player. It is a game.

  In this battle game, a player plays against other players using a battle deck composed of a plurality of characters. Specifically, when a player (hereinafter also referred to as “first player”) designates an opponent and requests to start a battle, another player designated as an opponent (hereinafter also referred to as “second player”). The battle deck and the battle deck of the player battle against each other. As a result, the winning player can earn game points, and the defeated player loses game points. At this time, since the battle deck of the second player designated as the opponent is controlled by the server device 10, the second player does not need to perform any operation or the like regarding the battle. That is, this battle is started based on the operation of the first player, and the battle is performed regardless of the will of the second player designated as the opponent. That is, the second player may be defeated without his knowledge and lose game points.

  In this competitive game, the second player who is the opponent is designated by the first player from among a plurality of players that are candidates extracted based on the game points owned by the first player. Specifically, a player who has almost the same amount of game points as the first player, a player who owns a larger amount of game points than the first player, and a player who owns a smaller amount of game points than the first player, Designated by the first player. When a player having almost the same amount of game points becomes an opponent, the game points of the first player increase a little if the player can win the battle. If a player who owns more game points than the first player becomes an opponent, the game points of the first player will increase a lot if the player can win the battle. When a player who owns a smaller amount of game points than the first player becomes an opponent, the game points of the first player hardly increase even if the player can win the battle. Therefore, when a player who owns more game points than the first player is designated as an opponent, the game points can be increased most efficiently. However, since the opponent's opponent deck in that case is often set to have high attack power, it is difficult for the first player to win the opponent. For this reason, the first player designates a player who has almost the same amount of game points as himself or a player who owns a smaller amount of game points than himself / herself as the second player to be the opponent. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a support function for supporting the first player with respect to the battle is provided. Therefore, even if the first player designates a player who owns a larger number of game points than the player as the second player to be the opponent, if the support function is activated during the battle, it is easy to win the battle.

  Also, in this battle game, when the first player possesses a large number of game points by repeating the battle, it is assumed that a player having almost the same amount of game points as his / her opponent is designated as the second player as the opponent. However, it often becomes a battle with a battle deck having a higher attack power than its own battle deck, making it difficult to win the battle. As a result, the first player is almost defeated, and his game points are reduced. When this defeat is repeated, the game points of the player gradually decrease, but the attack power of his battle deck gradually increases as the battle is repeated. Eventually, the first player will own a small amount of game points. If a player who has almost the same amount of game points as his / her opponent is designated as the second player, his attack power will be lower than his battle deck. More matches against the battle deck. As a result, it will be easier to win the battle this time, so that your game points will increase. That is, in this battle game, the battle is repeatedly performed while increasing / decreasing its own game points in this way, so that, in the long term, the game points of the player gradually increase (shown in FIG. 2). (See dashed line graph, details below).

  However, as described above, in order to easily win the opponent, it is necessary to reduce the game points of the player. Therefore, the player must continue to defeat by repeatedly fighting over a long period of time in order to reduce his game points. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in addition to defeating the opponent, the first player can specify his / her point amount and reduce his / her game points. As a result, it is possible to greatly reduce the game points of the player in a short period of time, so that it is not necessary to repeat the battle over a long period of time and continue to lose to the opponent. Furthermore, the support function can be expanded by reducing own game points. For this reason, although the game point of the player is once reduced, it becomes easier to win by expanding the support function, and as a result, the player's game point can be increased.

  FIG. 2 is a graph showing the relationship between game points and elapsed time. The horizontal axis of this graph is the elapsed time after the start of the game, and the vertical axis is the amount of points owned by the player.

  The graph drawn with a broken line shows the change in the amount of points when the battle game is continued without expanding the support function. As can be seen from the change in the broken line graph, if the support function is not expanded in the battle game, the game points will be reduced by repeating the decrease in points due to the defeat and the increase in points due to the victory. Will gradually increase.

  On the other hand, the graph drawn with a solid line represents the change in the amount of points when the battle game is continued while expanding the support function. A portion indicated by an arrow A in the figure shows a change when the game points are greatly reduced in a short period of time by the point amount being designated by the player. As can be seen from the change in the solid line graph, when the support function is expanded in a competitive game, even if the amount of points once decreases significantly, the support function is expanded thereafter and the game points increase. Thus, in the long run, game points will increase dramatically.

  First, when the menu screen is displayed on the terminal display unit 24 and the operation button for starting the battle is selected by the operation of the first player, the player terminal 20 plays the battle based on the operation information. A command for requesting a start (a battle start request) is transmitted to the server device 10 (step S101).

  Next, when the server device 10 receives the battle start request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 performs point variation processing (step S102). That is, the point variation processing unit 114 acquires the possession point of the first player by referring to the player information shown in FIG. 6 based on the player ID and the like transmitted together with the battle start request from the player terminal 20. Next, the point variation processing unit 114 refers to the game point information shown in FIG. 10 to reduce the number of consumption points corresponding to the game points owned by the first player. Then, the point variation processing unit 114 updates the player information so that the first player owns the reduced game points.

  Next, when the point variation process is performed in this way, the server device 10 performs a matching process for determining the second player who is the opponent of the first player (step S103). Specifically, the matching processing unit 112 acquires the possession point of the first player by referring to the player information shown in FIG. 6 based on the player ID and the like transmitted together with the battle start request from the player terminal 20. To do. Next, the matching processing unit 112 refers to the game point information shown in FIG. 11 to identify a point range that includes the acquired game points of the first player, and the battleship level associated with the point range To get. The acquired battleship level matches the level of the battleship character constituting the battle deck of the first player. Next, by referring to the player information shown in FIG. 6 and the game point information shown in FIG. 11, the matching processing unit 112 compares the acquired battleship level of the first player with the battleship levels of the other players. . As a result of the comparison, a plurality of candidate players having the same battleship level as the first player (that is, a plurality of candidate players having almost the same amount of game points as the first player), a plurality having a battleship level higher than that of the first player Candidate players (ie, multiple candidate players who own more game points than the first player) and multiple candidate players (ie, less game points than the first player) that have a lower battleship level than the first player Multiple candidate players) are extracted from each. Then, the matching processing unit 112 has one candidate player having the same battleship level as the first player, and one candidate player having a higher battleship level than the first player, from among the plurality of candidate players extracted respectively. One candidate player having a battleship level lower than that of the first player is determined at random.

  Next, when the candidate player is determined in this way, the server device 10 causes the screen data generation processing unit 118 to generate screen data for selecting an opponent from the candidate players (step S104). Thereafter, the server device 10 transmits the screen data generated by the screen data generation processing unit 118 to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network.

  Next, when receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the opponent selection screen 50 on the terminal display unit 24 (step S105).

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the opponent selection screen 50. The opponent selection screen 50 includes a candidate player display area 51, a first player selection button 52, a second player selection button 53, a third player selection button 54, and a decision button 55. In the candidate player display area 51, a plurality of candidate players are displayed in a list. In the first player selection button 52, candidate players having a battleship level higher than that of the first player are displayed. In the second player selection button 53, candidate players having the same battleship level as the first player are displayed. In the third player selection button 54, candidate players having a battleship level lower than that of the first player are displayed. The first player selects any one of the plurality of player selection buttons and then selects the decision button 55.

  Next, returning to FIG. 13, the player terminal 20 selects one of the player selection buttons by the operation of the first player when the opponent selection screen 50 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24. When the determination button 55 is selected, a command requesting opponent determination (an opponent determination request) is transmitted to the server device 10 (step S106).

  Next, when receiving the opponent determination request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 sets a support function (step S107). Specifically, the support function activation processing unit 115 determines whether to activate a support function for supporting the first player based on a predetermined probability. When the support function activation processing unit 115 is determined to activate the support function, the support function activation processing unit 115 refers to the player information illustrated in FIG. 6 based on the player ID and the like transmitted together with the opponent determination request from the player terminal 20. By doing so, the support character information of the first player is specified. Next, the matching processing unit 112 refers to the specified support character information (see FIG. 9), and one body that actually supports the first player from among the support characters that can support the first player. Randomly determine the support character.

  Next, when the support function is set in this way, the server device 10 sets a battle deck (step S108). That is, the battle processing unit 113 identifies the deck information of the second player by referring to the player information (see FIG. 6) of the second player selected as the opponent by the first player in the process of step S106 described above. . Then, the battle processing unit 113 sets the battle deck of the second player by referring to the identified deck information of the second player (see FIG. 8).

  Next, when the battle deck of the second player is set in this way, the server device 10 generates screen data for starting an attack on the battle deck of the second player in the screen data generation processing unit 118. (Step S109). Thereafter, the server device 10 transmits the screen data generated by the screen data generation processing unit 118 to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network.

  Next, when receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the attack start screen 60 on the terminal display unit 24 (step S110).

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of the attack start screen 60. The attack start screen 60 includes an opponent display area 61 and an attack button 62. In the opponent display area 61, a battle deck of the second player as the opponent is displayed. The attack button 62 is an operation button for the first player's battle deck to start an attack on the second player's battle deck.

  Next, returning to FIG. 13, when the attack button 62 is selected by the operation of the first player while the attack start screen 60 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, the player terminal 20 plays the battle deck of the second player. A command (attack start request) for requesting the start of an attack is transmitted to the server device 10 (step S111).

  Next, when receiving the attack start request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 performs a battle process (step S112). Specifically, the battle processing unit 113 refers to the deck information of each player, and determines the win or loss for the battle based on the deck parameters set for the battle decks of the first player and the second player, respectively. . For example, the attack strength parameter of the first player's battle deck is compared with the defense parameter of the second player's battle deck, and the damage to the second player's battle deck is calculated by attacking the first player's battle deck. To do. Based on the calculated damage, if the remaining health parameter (HP) becomes zero by decreasing the health parameter (HP) of the battle deck of the second player, the first player is regarded as the winner. decide. The winning / losing determination method is not limited to this, and winning / losing may be determined based on other deck parameters.

When the support function activation processing unit 115 determines to activate the support function for supporting the first player in the process of step S107 described above, the support function activation processing unit 115 only supports the support function during the battle. Activate. For example, when the activation of the first support function is set, the support character participates in the attack to attack, thereby reducing the physical strength parameter (HP) of the battle deck of the second player. As a result, even if the health parameter (HP) of the battle deck of the second player does not become zero due to the attack of the battle deck of the first player, the health parameter (HP) is increased by the attack of the support character. It becomes possible to zero. Also, for example, when the activation of the second support function is set, it is possible to increase the physical strength parameter (HP) of the first player's battle deck by allowing the support character to participate and recover. Become.
Here, the case where the support function is activated in response to the first player selecting the attack button 62 on the attack start screen 60 has been described as an example. In addition to this, the support function may be activated in response to the first player selecting the enter button 55 on the opponent selection screen 50. In this case, after displaying a game screen showing a state where a support character has entered the battle by activating the support function, the screen may be changed to the attack start screen 60.

  Next, when the victory or defeat is determined for the battle in this way, the server device 10 performs a point variation process (step S113). Specifically, the point variation processing unit 114 decreases the game points owned by the defeated player based on the game point information shown in FIG. 10 and increases the game points owned by the winning player. Then, the point change processing unit 114 updates each player information so that each player owns the changed game points.

At this time, when the point variation processing unit 114 exceeds the upper limit of the game points due to the point increase, the point amount exceeding the upper limit can be increased as the special game points owned by the first player. .
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and special game points may be awarded on condition that the game points of the first player have reached the upper limit at the start of the battle. In other words, when a match is started with the game point reaching the upper limit and the opponent is won, the amount of points exceeding the upper limit due to the increase in points is given to the first player as a special game point. May be.

  Next, when the point variation process is performed in this way, the server device 10 causes the screen data generation processing unit 118 to generate data of a result screen indicating the battle result (step S114). Then, the server device 10 transmits the result screen data generated by the screen data generation processing unit 118 to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. After that, when receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data and displays the result screen on the terminal display unit 24 (step S115).

  As described above, such a battle is repeatedly performed in the battle game in the present embodiment. The player's game points increase as the battle is repeated, and a reward (for example, a character with high rarity, etc.) is awarded by the reward granting unit 117 each time the safe point set in stages is reached.

<Extended support functions>
FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to the extension of the support function.

  First, when an operation button for expanding the support function is designated by the operation of the first player while the menu screen is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, the player terminal 20 supports the support function based on the operation information. A command (function expansion request) requesting expansion of the server is transmitted to the server device 10 (step S201).

  Next, when receiving the function expansion request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 causes the screen data generation processing unit 118 to generate screen data for selecting a support character to be expanded (step S202).

  Specifically, the screen data generation processing unit 118 refers to the player information shown in FIG. 6 based on the player ID and the like transmitted together with the function expansion request from the player terminal 20, and supports character information of the first player To get. Then, with reference to the acquired support character information (see FIG. 9), the support character, level, and grant points that can support the first player are specified. Moreover, the support function of each support character is specified with reference to support function information (refer FIG. 5). Then, the screen data generation processing unit 118 generates screen data based on the specified information.

  Thereafter, the server device 10 transmits the screen data generated by the screen data generation processing unit 118 to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network.

  Next, when receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the support character selection screen 70 on the terminal display unit 24 (step S203).

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of the support character selection screen 70. The support character selection screen 70 includes a support character display area 71, a first character selection button 72, a second character selection button 73, a third character selection button 74, a point input area 75, and a grant button 76. ing. The support character display area 71 displays a list of a plurality of support characters associated with the first player. The first player selects one of a plurality of character selection buttons, designates a support character to be expanded, and gives the amount of points to be given to the designated support character (the game point of the player) After specifying the amount of points to be reduced) in the point input area 75, the grant button 76 is selected.

  At this time, since the support function to be expanded differs depending on which support character is designated, the first player can strategically expand the support function in consideration of the battle situation of his battle deck. In addition, by deliberately reducing one's own game points and expanding the support function, it becomes possible to dramatically increase one's own game points in subsequent battles (see FIG. 2).

  Next, returning to FIG. 16, when the support character selection screen 70 is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, the player terminal 20 designates any one support character by the operation of the first player, and supports the support character. When the point amount to be given to the character is specified and the grant button 76 is selected, a command for requesting determination of the support character and the point amount (support character and point amount determination request) is transmitted to the server device 10. (Step S204).

  Next, when receiving the support character and point amount determination request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 performs extended setting of the support function (step S205). That is, the support function expansion processing unit 116 performs a process of expanding the support function specified by the first player by reducing the amount of points specified by the first player among the game points owned by the first player. .

  Specifically, the support function expansion processing unit 116 updates the possessed points set in the player information shown in FIG. 6 by reducing the point amount designated by the first player from the game points of the first player.

  At this time, the support function expansion processing unit 116 refers to the game point information shown in FIG. 10 and performs control so that the game points after the decrease of the first player do not become less than the safe points set in stages. In addition, when it becomes less than a safe point, you may specify a point amount again.

  At the same time, the support function expansion processing unit 116 adds the point amount specified by the first player to the support character assigned points specified by the first player, and sets the support character information shown in FIG. Update the granted points.

  Then, the support function expansion processing unit 116 refers to the support function information shown in FIG. 5 and raises the level when the support character assigned point designated by the first player reaches the required number of points. . As a result, the support range of the designated support character for the first player character is set wide.

  Next, when the extended setting of the support function is performed in this way, the server device 10 causes the screen data generation processing unit 118 to generate result screen data indicating the battle result (step S206). Then, the server device 10 transmits the result screen data generated by the screen data generation processing unit 118 to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. After that, when receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display the result screen on the terminal display unit 24 (step S207).

  As described above, according to the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the first player reduces his / her game points when expanding the support function in addition to defeating the second player as the opponent. Can be made. In addition, by specifying the amount of points to be reduced, it is possible to greatly reduce the game points of the player in a short period of time, so that it is not necessary to repeat the battle over a long period of time and continue to lose to the opponent. In the server device 10 as well, the calculation load for determining the outcome of the battle is reduced. In addition, the first player is disadvantaged by reducing his game points, but the support function can be expanded instead of reducing the points, so it will be easier to win against the opponent (increased points) Easier). Therefore, even if it is an act that gives a disadvantageous impression to a player who says that he / she specifies the amount of points to be reduced, it is possible to actively perform it. As a result, the player's willingness to play can be improved, and as a result, it becomes possible to activate a point-fighting type battle game.
