For example, information on opponents such as a nickname of each user who competes and a title given to the user is displayed. The introduction effects of each user at this time change based on the option 101 selected by the user and the play data 23 of the user. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the user's state and results, and the effects of the effects. As a general rule, the better the user's play results, the more dramatic the production. In addition to this, the stronger the enthusiasm of the option 101 selected by the user, the more dramatic the production. As an example of a flashy production, the screen effects and sound effects may be complicated, or a highly rare production may be performed. The contents of the production may be set in various ways.

  The game screen 100b of FIG. 2 shows an example of an effect that introduces the user. Depending on the play performance of the user, the user is given a “title” of “expected newcomer”, and an effect corresponding to the title is given. Further, the user adds a shout of “Wow !!!!” with the choice 101a selected as enthusiasm, and the production becomes more flashy. Moreover, you may change suitably the variation | change_quantity of the production effect according to a user's state. The production method may be such that the productions are combined in this way, or production data 38 corresponding to the combination of the user's play data 23 and the selected option 101 is generated in advance, and the user's options 101 and play are generated.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a game execution processing routine executed by the game control unit 31 and the effect control unit 32 of the game machine 3. The game execution process is a process for executing a mahjong game provided by the game machine 3. When the user inserts a coin corresponding to the play fee into the coin insertion slot 13, the game control process is started. The game control unit 31 executes a mahjong game (S1). The game control unit 31 starts a matching process in response to a user request, matches a user who competes, and controls the progress of the game. Moreover, the game control part 31 provides a message exchange function according to a user's request. Subsequently, the effect control unit 32 controls the effect according to the progress of the game (step S2). For example, it controls effects such as user introduction before a match, effects during a match, and greetings after a match. The production control will be described later. And the game control part 31 will record this battle result in the play data 23 of each user, and will complete | finish this process, if a battle is complete | finished (step S3). In this embodiment, the processes of steps S1 and S3 executed by the game control unit 31 function as game control means, and the process of step S2 executed by the effect control unit 32 functions as effect control means.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the state information acquisition process executed by the effect control unit 32 of the game machine 3. The status information acquisition process is a process for causing the user to select the option 101 and acquiring the user status information. The effect control unit 32 of the game machine 3 determines whether or not it is time to acquire the user state information (step S11). The timing for obtaining the state information can be set as appropriate according to the game, such as the timing before the start of the mahjong game, in particular, the timing for each predetermined number of battles, the timing to participate in a specific game, and the like. If it is not time to acquire the state information, the effect control unit 32 ends the current process.

  When it is time to acquire the state information, the effect control unit 32 displays the option 101 to be selected by the user on the game screen 100a (step S12). The combination of the options 101 displayed in step S2 may be determined according to the game with reference to the state data 36. The effect control unit 32 determines whether or not the user has selected the option 101 (step S13). When the user selects the option 101, the effect control unit 32 acquires the selected option 101 as state information (step S14), and ends the current process. The acquired option 101 is recorded in the user play data 23 as state information. On the other hand, when the user has not selected the option 101, the effect control unit 32 determines whether a predetermined period has elapsed and timed out (step S15). If not timed out, the effect control unit 32 returns to step S3 and continues the process. When time-out occurs, the effect control unit 32 sets the state information as unselected (step S16) and ends the current process. When not selected, the predetermined option 101 may be automatically set. For example, the option 101b indicating the intermediate state or the state information of the user who has not selected the intermediate numerical value may be set as the user state.

  According to the above-described process, when the mahjong game is played, the state of the user is acquired at a predetermined timing (steps S11 to S16). By acquiring the user's state, it is possible to use the user's subjective information that cannot be known from the game data, such as the user's enthusiasm, mood, emotions, etc. for the game. In the above-described processing, steps S11 to S16 executed by the information acquisition unit 34 of the effect control unit 32 function as state information acquisition means.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the effect changing process executed by the effect control unit 32 of the game machine 3. The effect change process is a process of changing the game effect based on the user state information and the user play data 23. The effect change process is executed at an appropriate timing at which the user state information can be used. As an example, it demonstrates by execution with respect to the production | presentation which introduces each user who fights before the game machine 3 starts the game of a mahjong game. The effect control unit 32 acquires user status information (step S21), and acquires user play data 23 (step S22). The play data 23 to be acquired may be data necessary for processing, for example, evaluation information such as a user's title and rank, and some data such as play results. And the production | presentation control part 32 determines the production which introduces a user based on a user's status information and the play data 23 (step S23). The effect control unit 32 refers to the effect data 38 and determines the effect data 38 to be used based on the user state information and the play data 23. And the production | presentation control part 32 produces the production | presentation which used the production data 38 determined by step S23 with respect to the production which introduces the user who competes before the battle start (step S24), and complete | finishes this process. For example, as in the game screen 100b of FIG. 2, the presentation changes for each user based on the user state information and the play data 23.

  According to the above-described process, the effect of introducing the user changes based on the user status information and the play data 23 (steps S21 to S24). Even if the user's play results are the same level, the effect changes further depending on the user's condition, so the game effect is diversified and the user is not bored. Moreover, since the production changes according to the user's condition, the user who is in contact with the production does not feel uncomfortable. Moreover, since the user who touched the production can predict the state of other users, it is possible to give a sense of unity among users who play the game and promote communication. In addition, the process of step S21-S24 which the production | generation change part 35 of the production | presentation control part 32 performs functions as an effect change means.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described form and can be implemented in various forms. For example, in the present embodiment, the execution change process has been described by way of example with respect to the execution that introduces each user who competes before the game machine 3 starts the mahjong game battle, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the present invention can also be applied to effects when communication is performed between users using a message exchange function. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a game screen 100c that performs communication using a message exchange function before a match of the mahjong game. FIG. 10 shows a game screen 100c on which a message from another user who competes is displayed after the user BBB transmits a message to introduce himself / herself. On the game screen 100c, a message 110 made by the user BBB and reply messages 111a, 111c, and 111d from other users AAA, CCC, and DDD in response to the message (represented by reference numeral 111 unless otherwise distinguished) are displayed. Has been. Reply messages 111a, 111c, and 111d are generated based on the choice 101 and play results selected by the user BBB, presented to each user AAA, CCC, and DDD, and transmitted automatically from each user, or automatically transmitted. And displayed. Since the reply message 111 is generated based on the option selected by the user BBB that receives the message and the play data 23, the user BBB can receive a message suitable for the state of the user BBB.

  In this case, as the material data of the effect data 38, the wording, font, and balloon design of the reply message 111 are recorded individually or in combination. The material data is recorded in association with the option 101 and the play data 23 (play result, title, etc.). For example, as a reply message 111 to a user who has a high play score and selects the option 101a, “What is the momentum! Do your best to win the tone!”, “I'm full of motivation! A message such as “!” Is generated. Similarly, messages such as “Do your best for winning!” And “Wow! Do your best!” Are generated as a reply message 111 to the user who has selected the option 101b that wins the top in the play score. As a reply message 111 to a user who has a lower play score and has selected the option 101c, messages such as “I can still go to the tournament! Do your best!” Thus, a message suitable for the user is generated based on the user's state and the play data 23, and an effect suitable for the message is generated. The game effects can be diversified by setting the linking information in detail.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a reply message generation processing routine executed by the effect control unit 32 of the game machine 3. The reply message generation process is a process for generating the reply message 111 based on the option 101 selected by the user and the play data 23. First, the production control unit 32 acquires the status information and the play data 23 of the user who receives the reply message 111 (step S31), and generates the reply message 111 based on this (step S32). The generated reply message 111 changes according to the user's state and play score. And the production | presentation control part 32 receives permission of the user (user AAA, CCC, DDD) of the reply side with respect to the produced | generated reply message 111, transmits (step S33), and complete | finishes this process. The concept of transmission / reception of the reply message 111 here is that, in addition to being actually transmitted from the user AAA, CCC, DDD to the user BBB via the network 5, the reply message 111 is transmitted in the game machine 3 played by the user BBB. It is generated and produced as if the user AAA etc. transmitted. In this case, there is no transmission / reception of the message via the network 5, but the setting is such that the user automatically transmits the reply message 111, so that the reply message 111 is produced in step S23. .

  According to the above processing, the status information and the play data 23 of the user who receives the reply message 111 are acquired (step 31), and the reply message 111 is generated based on the information (step S32). The generated reply message 111 is transmitted or presented to the user who should receive the reply message 111 (step S33). According to this, the reply message 111 suitable for the user can be generated according to the status information of the other party to whom the message is transmitted, and the game effects are diversified. Further, by generating a message suitable for the other party to whom the message is sent, communication with an unknown user can be promoted. In the above-described process, the processes in steps S31 to S33 executed by the effect changing unit 35 of the effect control unit 32 function as a message generating unit.

  In the reply message generation process, the reply message 111 further considers at least one of the user status information and the play data 23 that transmits the reply message 111 in addition to the user status information and the play data 23 that receives the reply message 111. May be generated. Hereinafter, an example in which the play data 23 of the user who transmits the reply message 111 is acquired will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing another example of a reply message generation processing routine executed by the effect control unit 32 of the game machine 3. The effect control unit 32 acquires the status information of the user who receives the reply message 111 and the play data 23 (step S41), and also acquires the play data 23 of the user (user AAA, CCC, DDD) who transmits the reply message 111. (Step S42).

  The effect control unit 32 generates the reply message 111 based on the status information and the play data 23 of the user who receives the reply message 111 and the play data 23 of the user who transmits the reply message 111 (step S43). As an example of the reply message 111, if the play score of the user on the sending side is better (higher rank) for the user who has the highest play score and has selected the option 101a, “That momentum! "I'm still worried about!", "Don't feel relieved. You can aim for a higher level!", Etc. On the other hand, the sending performance of the sending user is worse (lower rank) In this case, a reply message 111 such as “Wow! Please do your best!” Or “I don't think you are a newcomer! As described above, by further considering the play data 23 of the user on the transmission side, it is possible to generate a message that takes advantage of the position of the transmission side. And the production | presentation control part 32 receives permission of the user (user AAA, CCC, DDD) of the reply side with respect to the produced | generated reply message 111, transmits (step S44), and complete | finishes this process. The process of step S33 may be the same as the process of step S23 described above. In this process, the processes of steps S41 to S44 executed by the effect changing unit 35 of the effect control unit 32 function as a message generating unit.

  In the reply message generation processing of FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 described above, instead of the generation processing of the reply message 111 in steps S22 and S33, a plurality of message candidates are generated, and at least the user is selected from the plurality of message candidates. One message candidate may be determined as the reply message 111. A plurality of message candidates may be generated by the same method as in steps S22 and S33 described above, and a plurality of messages may be generated.

  As an example of the production by the production control unit 32, as shown in FIG. 3, in addition to the change by the user's play results (play data 23), an example in which the production further changes according to the user's status information, that is, the user's play results and state Although an example in which information changes independently has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. The presentation may be changed depending on the combination of the user's play results and the user's state. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the relationship between the user's state and results and the effect of the effect. In the example of FIG. 13, the effect changes depending on the combination of the user's state (state information) and play results (play data 23). For example, if the user's condition is “Excellent” and the play result is high, the production will be flashy and bright, and if the user ’s condition is “Excellent” and the play result is low, the production will be plain and dark become. In this case, the effect data 38 may be recorded by associating the combination of the state information and the play results with the material data as in the effects 31, 32. In addition to the title, the association information may be set to various information such as play results of the play data 23, establishment of predetermined game conditions (number of wins / losses, stage clear, etc.), and the like. Appropriate information may be set according to the game.

  In the above-described form, a plurality of options 101 have been described as user status information, but the present invention is not limited to this. The effect of the effect may be determined by a function as in the graphs shown in FIGS. 3 and 13, and the effect may be controlled according to a numerical value input by the user as the user state. For example, the user's enthusiasm index may be arbitrarily set within a range of 0 to 100, and the enthusiasm index 100 may be controlled to produce an effect corresponding to the option 101a. Or the input of the keyword which shows a user's state may be received and it may be made to control production according to the keyword. Keywords related to the user's level of motivation, high / low tension, presence / absence, and the like, for example, super, amazing, so-so, so-so, a little, etc. may be set. The user may be allowed to input, or a plurality of options may be prepared and the user may select.

  In addition to the user introduction effects and message generation effects of the effects described above, effects that inspire the opponent user during the mahjong game battle, and effects that honor the opponent user after the battle may be performed. By using the material data (message, sound effect, video, image, etc.) associated with the association information for the production, the production suitable for the user's condition can be performed. In the embodiment described above, the mahjong game has been described as a common game provided by the game machine 3, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in various games such as a shooting game, an RPG game, a music game, and a sports game, it is possible to control the production based on the user status information and the play data 23. When these games enable a battle play or a cooperative play between users via the network 5, each process shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 can be executed.

  In the above-mentioned form, although the effect regarding the user was performed based on the user's state information and the play data 23 to be effected, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the effect may be controlled using the option information of the effect data 38. In the option information, since the tabulated result of the option 101 selected by the user is recorded, it is possible to perform the production control according to the tendency selected by the user. Or you may make it change the production | presentation of a common game by totaling the status information and play data 23 of each user who play a common game. Even in this case, a plurality of effect data 38 for effects to be changed may be prepared, and the effect data 38 to be used may be determined based on the total result. According to this, the production of the common game changes according to the participating users. Thereby, a special feeling can be produced in a common game and the sense of unity of the participating users can be increased.
