  The game space G1 of the user A has a plurality of different areas A1 to A3. On the other hand, the game space G2 of the user B has a plurality of different areas A11 to A13. The user A can move freely between the areas A1 to A3, and can arrange a building object in each of the areas A1 to A3. The user B can freely move between the areas A11 to A13, and can arrange a building object in each of the areas A11 to A13. Although not shown, the game space G3 of the user C and the game space G4 of the user D each have a plurality of areas.

  In a city-building game, a user can register another user as his friend by following the other user. A friend is another user selected by the user for the purpose of interacting in particular. In the user management table 300 of the game server 200, user information of a certain user is basically not associated with other user information. On the other hand, user information of a certain user and user information of other users who are friends of the user are associated with each other in the user management table 300 of the game server 200.

  In the user management table 300 of the user terminal 100 possessed by a certain user, a user ID of a certain user and a user ID of another user who is a friend of the user are stored in association with each other. For example, when the user A follows the user B, the user ID of the user A and the user ID of the user B who is the friend of the user A are associated with each other in the user management table 300 of the user terminal 100 owned by the user A. Stored. Similarly, when the user B follows the user A, in the user management table 300 of the user terminal 100 owned by the user B, the user ID of the user B and the user ID of the user A who is the friend of the user B are mutually Stored in association. The state in which two users are following each other is particularly called mutual follow.

  In the game system 1, at least a part of the functions included in the user terminal 100 may be configured to be included in the game server 200. Further, at least a part of the functions provided in the game server 200 may be configured to be provided in the user terminal 100. That is, the computer on which the game program in the present embodiment is executed can be arbitrarily selected from the information processing apparatus including the user terminal 100 and the game server 200 described above.

(Progress of town development game)
FIG. 8 is an example of a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the game system 1. Below, the user A possesses the 1st user terminal 100-1 of the same structure as the user terminal 100, and demonstrates the example which plays a city-building game using this terminal.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of the game space G1 associated with the user A. In the example shown in this figure, a road R is arranged in the game space G1. The road R is a kind of architectural object. As will be described in detail later, power can be shared from the lifeline to the building object via the road R.

  The user A selects a desired building object SO by pressing and holding it from the plurality of building objects SO included in the shop S displayed on the first user terminal 100-1. Next, the selected object SO is dragged to a predetermined position on the plane PL1 in the game space G1. In step S <b> 101, the action receiving unit 111 detects an action by the user A on the input unit 151. In step S102, the action accepting unit 111 accepts the detected action by the user A as an object placement request for placing a building object in the game space.

  In step S103, the display control unit 115 arranges the building BO under construction on the plane PL1 based on the object arrangement request. In the example of FIG. 9, five different buildings under construction BO are arranged in the game space G1. In step S <b> 104, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits game space information indicating that the building BO under construction is arranged in the game space G <b> 1 to the game server 200.

  In step S201, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives game space information. In step S202, the data management unit 213 updates the user information (user management table 300) based on the received game space information.

  In step S105, the timer unit 113 starts measuring the elapsed time from the time when the building BO under construction is placed in the game space G1. In step S106, the timer unit 113 determines whether or not the elapsed time of each building under construction BO has elapsed. If YES in step S106, it is determined in step S107 whether or not the action accepting unit 111 has accepted a user action (for example, a tap operation) on the building BO under construction. In the case of YES in step S107, in step S108, the display control unit 115 changes each building under construction BO to the corresponding built buildings O1 to O5.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game space G1 in which the built buildings O1 to O5 are arranged. In the example of this figure, apartments O1, a park O2, a power plant O3, a store O4, and a fire department O5 are arranged in the game space G1 as constructed buildings O1 to O5.

  The apartment O1 has a population calculated based on a predetermined rule. The park O2 has a passive skill that increases the population of constructed buildings arranged within the effective range. The power plant O3 is a type of lifeline, and supplies power to other constructed buildings connected to the power plant O3 through the road R. In addition, the power plant O3 has a passive skill for reducing the population of built buildings arranged within the effective range. The population P of the apartment O1 increases and decreases under the influence of these passive skills. The store O4 has a passive skill for producing coins. The fire department O5 has an active skill for solving fires occurring in other buildings.

  If NO in either step S106 or step S107, that is, if the elapsed time of the building under construction has not elapsed or the user action on the building under construction BO is not accepted, the processing shown in FIG. Step S107 continues to loop.

  In step S109, the terminal determination unit 114 determines whether or not power is supplied from each lifeline to each constructed building. In the case of YES in step S109, in step S110, the terminal processing unit 112 operates each built building that requires power supply. In the example shown in FIG. 10, since the power plant O3 is arranged adjacent to the road R, power is supplied from the power plant O3 to the apartment O1, the store O4, and the fire department O5 adjacent to the road R. . Thereby, the apartment O1, the store O4, and the fire department O5 are operated by the supplied electric power. Since the park O2 is a building that does not require electric power, it operates even if it is not adjacent to the road R.

  Although not shown in the figure, the built building is in a state where the active skill defined for the built building can be activated after a certain period of time has elapsed since the operation. At this time, when the action accepting unit 111 accepts the action of the user A on the built building, the active skill in the built building is activated. Thereby, a predetermined game point is given to the user A, the state of the building under construction arranged in the game space G1 is changed, or the production amount of items in the built building is increased. Profit is provided to user A.

  In step S110, when the terminal processing unit 112 operates the built building, the timer unit 113 starts measuring the elapsed time of each built building. In step S111, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the population P associated with each built building arranged in the game space G1, and gives it to the user as a game point.

  In step S <b> 112, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits to the game server 200 update information including information about the building under construction being changed to a built building and information regarding the population P given to the user. In step S203, the transmission / reception unit 211 of the game server 200 receives the transmitted update information. In step S204, the data management unit 213 updates the user information of the user A (user management table 300) based on the received update information.

  An already constructed building may be changed to a building under construction again. For example, the population that can be held and / or the coin production amount may be increased by increasing or leveling up a built building. In this case, the display control unit 115 changes the built building again to the building under construction, while the timer unit 113 starts measuring elapsed time again (similar to step S105). Next, the action accepting unit 111 accepts a user action on the built building after the construction time (extension time) necessary for extension or leveling up of the built building has elapsed (similar to steps S106 to S107). Through the above processing, the display control unit 115 may change the building under construction to a built building after extension or level-up (similar to step S108). The subsequent step S109 to step S112 and step S203 to step S204 can also be applied to the subsequent game point update process.

(Change in population P)
FIG. 11 is an example of a flowchart for explaining the flow of processing for increasing or decreasing the population P of the apartment O1. In step S113, the display control unit 115 changes the building under construction to a built building. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 10, the display control unit 115 arranges the condominium O1, the park O2, the power plant O3, the store O4, and the fire department O5 as built buildings on the plane PL1 of the game space G1.

  In step S <b> 114, the reward calculation unit 116 refers to the object management table 301 to identify the population that can be owned by the apartment O <b> 1. In step S115, the reward calculation unit 116 refers to the object management table 301 to identify an initial population that can be owned by the apartment O1 by placing the apartment O1 on the plane PL1.

  In step S116, the terminal determination unit 114 determines whether or not the apartment O1 belongs to an effective range of another already built building. In the example of FIG. 10, the terminal determination unit 114 determines that the apartment O1 belongs to the effective range E1 of the park O2 and the effective range E2 of the power plant O3. The terminal determination unit 114 notifies the reward calculation unit 116 of the determination result.

  In step S117, the reward calculation unit 116 specifies the contents of the passive skills of the park O2 and the power plant O3 by referring to the passive skill management table based on the notified determination result. In step S118, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the population owned by the condominium O1 affected by each passive skill. Specifically, the population increase due to the passive skill in the park O2 is added to the initial population of the apartment O1, and further, the population decrease due to the passive skill at the power plant O3 is subtracted from the population after the addition.

  In step S119, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the calculated population P of the apartment O1 to the user A as a game point. In step S <b> 119, the transmission / reception unit 117 transmits update information including information regarding the population P given to the user A to the game server 200. In step S205, the transmission / reception unit 211 receives the update information. In step S206, the data management unit 213 updates the user information of the user A (user management table 300) based on the received update information.

(Display of game space G1)
FIG. 12 is an example of a flowchart showing a flow of processing for displaying the game space G1 executed by the first user terminal 100-1. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing game screens D <b> 1 to D <b> 3 displayed on the display unit 152. The state (A) of FIG. 13 shows the game screen D1 displayed when the display magnification is equal to or smaller than the threshold value. The state (B) of FIG. 13 shows the game screen D2 displayed when the display magnification exceeds the threshold value. The state (C) of FIG. 13 shows another game screen D3 displayed when the display magnification exceeds the threshold value.

  When the first user terminal 100-1 receives an operation input of the user A for starting the play of the city-building game, the first user terminal 100-1 executes a game program for advancing the city-building game. When the game program is executed, in step S121, the terminal processing unit 112 constructs a game space G1 having a plurality of areas A1 to A3. For example, the terminal processing unit 112 refers to game information and user information stored in the storage unit 120 to identify information (game space information) related to the game space G1, and uses this information to define the game space G1. To construct. The terminal processing unit 112 can also use information regarding the game space G1 provided from the game server 200 in order to construct the game space G1.

  The game space G1 has a planar spread (size). The terminal processing unit 112 constructs a game space G1 including areas A1 to A3 arranged at different positions in the game space G1. The positions where the areas A1 to A3 are arranged are defined in advance in the game space information, for example. Prescribed area images F1 to F3 representing the respective areas are associated with the areas A1 to A3 in advance. The area images F1 to F3 are stored in the storage unit 120, for example.

  In this example, a plurality of building objects including a plurality of shops having coin production capacity are arranged in the areas A1 to A3.

  After constructing the game space G1, the terminal processing unit 112 sets the display magnification of the game space G1 to an initial value equal to or less than a threshold value. The display control unit 115 specifies the display range of the game space G1 based on the set display magnification. The display range is a range displayed on the display unit 152 in the entire game space G1. When the display magnification is the initial value, the display control unit 115 specifies the entire game space G1 as the display range.

  The specified display range includes areas A1 to A3. In step S122, the display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display area images F1 to F3 associated with the areas A1 to A3, respectively. Thereby, the screen of the display part 152 is updated to the game screen D1 containing the area images F1-F3, as shown to the state (A) of FIG. User A grasps the entire game space G1 by visually recognizing the game screen D1.

  When the display magnification is equal to or smaller than the threshold, the display control unit 115 does not perform rendering for displaying the areas A1 to A3 in detail. Instead, the display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display area images F1 to F3 as areas A1 to A3. Thereby, since the time required until the 1st user terminal 100-1 completes the display of the game screen D1 can be shortened, it does not need to wait the user A unnecessarily.

  In the state (A) of FIG. 13, the area images F1 to F3 displayed on the display unit 152 do not include building objects arranged in the areas A1 to A3, respectively. Even if the user A visually recognizes the game screen D1, the user A cannot grasp details of the areas A1 to A3 (arrangement state of each building object, etc.). The action receiving unit 111 does not receive an operation input of the user A for any building object arranged in any of the areas A1 to A3. The action accepting unit 111 does not accept an operation input of the user A for arranging a new building object in any of the areas A1 to A3.

  In step S123, the action accepting unit 111 accepts an enlargement operation for enlarging the game screen D1. The enlargement operation is, for example, an operation in which the user A pinches out the game screen with two fingers. The terminal processing unit 112 increases the display magnification of the game space G1 based on the enlargement operation. For example, the terminal processing unit 112 adds a predetermined value proportional to the movement amount of each finger during the enlargement operation to the current display magnification.

  In step S124, the display control unit 115 determines whether or not the current display magnification exceeds a threshold value. In the case of NO in step S124, the display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display the area images F1 to F3 that are enlarged based on the increased display magnification. As a result, the game screen D1 is updated to a game screen including area images F1 to F3 that are further enlarged (not shown).

  If YES in step S124, the display control unit 115 specifies a narrower range in the game space G1 as a new display range based on the increased display magnification. This display range includes areas A1 and A2.

  In step S125, the display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display the areas A1 and A2 in a state where a plurality of building objects are arranged. As a result, the game screen D1 of the display unit 152 is updated to a game screen D2 including areas A1 and A2 in which a plurality of building objects are arranged as shown in the state (B) of FIG.

  Information representing the game space G1 includes information regarding the areas A1 to A3. The information regarding the area A1 includes at least information regarding each building object arranged in the area A1. The information regarding the area A2 includes at least information regarding each building object arranged in the area A2. The information regarding the area A3 includes at least information regarding each building object arranged in the area A3.

  The display control unit 115 generates an image representing the area A1 where a plurality of building objects are arranged by rendering information related to the area A1. The display control unit 115 further generates an image representing the area A2 in which a plurality of building objects are arranged by rendering information related to the area A1. The display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display an image representing the area A1 and an image representing the area A2 as the area A1 and the area A2.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing details of the area A1 included in the game space G1. As shown in FIG. 14, in the area A1, a head office H1, a plurality of shops M1 to M8, and two parks K1 and K2 are arranged. The head office H1 is a building object that does not have passive skills for producing coins or items. The shops M1 to M8 are building objects (production objects) having passive skills (production ability) for producing coins. The parks K1 and K2 are building objects (influence objects) having passive skills that affect the production ability of the production objects. The effect is to increase the coin production capacity.

  The park K1 has an effective range E1. The park K1 affects the production capacity of the production objects arranged in the effective range E1. In FIG. 14, the head office H1, the store M4, and the store M5 are arranged in the effective range E1 of the park K1. Accordingly, the park K1 does not affect the head office H1, but affects the production capacity of the shops M4 and M5. The coin production capacities of the stores M4 and M5 are increased by a predetermined rate or quantity by being affected by the park K1 as compared to the case where the stores are not affected. The coin production capacities of the store M4 and the store M5 are increased by a certain percentage (for example, 20%) due to the influence of the park K1, for example.

  The park K2 has an effective range E2. The park K2 affects the production capacity of production objects arranged in the effective range E2. In FIG. 14, stores M6 to M8 are arranged in the effective range E2 of the park K2. Therefore, the park K2 affects the coin production capacity of the shops M6 to M8. The coin production capacities of the stores M6 to M8 are increased by a certain percentage (for example, 20%) due to the influence of the park K2 as compared to the case where the influence is not.

  The stores M1 to M3 are arranged at positions not included in both the effective range E1 and the effective range E2 in the area A1. Therefore, the coin production capacities of the stores M1 to M3 are not affected by the park K1 or K2.

  In the state (B) of FIG. 13, the area A1 displayed on the display unit 152 includes the building objects arranged in the area A1. Similarly, the area A2 displayed on the display unit 152 includes each building object arranged in the area A2. The user A grasps the details (such as the arrangement status of each building object) in the entire area A1 by visually recognizing the game screen D2. By visually recognizing the game screen D2, the user A also grasps the details (arrangement status of each building object, etc.) in a part of the area A2. Since the user A further recognizes that the details of the areas A1 and A2 are displayed as a result of the enlargement of the area images F1 and F2 based on the enlargement operation, the user A includes the entire game space G1 and the game space G1. It feels continuity with the individual areas A1 and A2. For this reason, the user A can play the city planning game more comfortably without feeling uncomfortable with the city planning game.

  The display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display each area image included in the display range while gradually increasing the display magnification while the display magnification gradually increases within a range equal to or less than the threshold value. When the display magnification exceeds the threshold, the display control unit 115 displays each area itself in a state where each corresponding building object is arranged instead of each area image associated with each area included in the display range. Displayed on the unit 152. In other words, each area image included in the game screen is switched to an image showing details of each area corresponding to each area image (such as the arrangement state of the building object) when the display magnification exceeds the threshold.

  In the state (B) of FIG. 13, the user A can proceed with the town planning in the area A1 or A2. The action accepting unit 111 can accept an operation input of the user A for any building object arranged in the area A1. The action receiving unit 111 can also receive an operation input of the user A for arranging a new building object in the area A1. The action accepting unit 111 can accept an operation input of the user A for any building object arranged at a location displayed on the display unit 152 in the area A2. The action receiving unit 111 can also receive an operation input from the user A for arranging a new building object at a location displayed on the display unit 152 in the area A2.

  The first user terminal 100-1 can further enlarge and display the game space G1. For example, when the action accepting unit 111 accepts an enlargement operation for enlarging the game screen D2, the terminal processing unit 112 further increases the display magnification of the game space G1. For example, the display control unit 115 specifies a display range including only the area A1 among the areas A1 to A3 based on the increased display magnification. The display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display an area A1 where a plurality of building objects are arranged. As a result, as shown in the state (C) of FIG. 13, the game screen D2 of the display unit 152 is updated to a game screen D3 in which a plurality of building objects are arranged and includes a further enlarged area A1. .

  The area A1 included in the game screen D3 is displayed larger than the area A1 included in the game screen D2 before the enlargement operation. User A visually recognizes the game screen D3 to grasp in more detail the arrangement state of each building object in the entire area A1. Each building object in the area A1 included in the game screen D3 is displayed larger than each building object in the area A1 included in the game screen D2 before the enlargement operation. The user A can input an operation for any building object in the area A1 to the touch screen 15 more easily.

  The action receiving unit 111 can receive a change operation by the user A for changing the display range without changing the display magnification of the screen. The change operation is, for example, a slide operation or a flick operation on the touch screen 15. When the change operation is accepted, the display control unit 115 specifies a new display range in the game space G1, and causes the display unit 152 to display the display range without changing the display magnification. For example, the display control unit 115 specifies, as a new display range, a range away from the current display range in the game space G1 in proportion to the amount of finger movement on the touch screen 15 when the change operation is accepted. .

  User A can cause the display unit 152 to display a desired range in the game space G <b> 1 by an operation input on the touch screen 15. For example, it is assumed that the display range of the game space G1 is switched to a new display range including the area A2 based on the slide operation by the user A during the display of the game screen D3 including the area A1. In this case, the display magnification of the game space G1 is maintained as it is, and the game screen D3 including the area A1 is switched to another game screen including the area A2. Since the user does not need to display the game screen D1 including the area images F1 to F3 again in order to switch the city planning target from the area A1 to the area A2, the user can play the city planning game more comfortably.

  The action accepting unit 111 can accept a reduction operation for reducing the game screen. The reduction operation is, for example, an operation in which the user A pinches in the game screen with two fingers. The terminal processing unit 112 decreases the display magnification of the game space G1 based on the reduction operation. For example, the terminal processing unit 112 subtracts a predetermined value proportional to the amount of movement of each finger during the reduction operation from the current display magnification. The display control unit 115 specifies a wider range in the game space G1 as a new display range based on the reduced display magnification, and causes the display unit 152 to display the range. As a result, the game space G1 is reduced and displayed on the display unit 152.

  The display control unit 115 displays each area included in the display range on the display unit 152 while gradually reducing the display magnification while the display magnification gradually decreases in a range exceeding the threshold. The display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display an area image associated with each area instead of the area included in the display range when the display magnification becomes equal to or less than the threshold value. That is, each area included in the game screen is switched to each area image associated with each area when the display magnification becomes equal to or less than the threshold.

(Coin lump grant)
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing executed by the first user terminal 100-1 to collectively give all coins produced in any area to the user A. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing game screens D11 and D13 displayed on the display unit 152. As shown in FIG. The state (A) in FIG. 16 shows the game screen D11 displayed when the display magnification is equal to or smaller than the threshold value. The state (B) of FIG. 16 shows the game screen D13 displayed when the display magnification exceeds the threshold value.

  Before the process of FIG. 15 is executed, the first user terminal 100-1 displays the game screen D1 shown in the state (A) of FIG. In step S131, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates, for each area included in the game space G1, the coin production amount in each store arranged in the area. The reward calculation unit 116 first calculates the coin production amounts at the shops M1 to M8 arranged in the area A1. The reward calculation unit 116 calculates the coin production amount of the store M1 by multiplying the coin production capacity of the store M1 by the elapsed time from when the coin produced by the store M1 was last given to the user A. When the calculated coin production amount exceeds the saving amount of the store M1, the reward calculation unit 116 determines the saving amount of the store M1 as the coin production amount of the store M1. The reward calculation unit 116 calculates the coin production amount at the stores M2 and M3 in the same manner as the store M1.

  The coin production capacities of the stores M4 and M5 are increased by a certain percentage (for example, 20%) due to the influence of the park K1. The reward calculation unit 116 calculates the coin production amount at the stores M4 and M5 based on the affected production capacity (for example, the production capacity after an increase of 20%). The coin production capacities of the stores M6 to M8 are increased by a certain rate (for example, 20%) due to the influence of the park K2. The reward calculation unit 116 calculates the coin production amount at the stores M6 to M8 based on the affected production capacity (production capacity after 20% increase).

  The reward calculation unit 116 also calculates the coin production amount in each store arranged in the area A2 for the area A2 similarly to the area A1. The reward calculation unit 116 also calculates the coin production amount in each store arranged in the area A3 for the area A3, similarly to the area A1.

  In step S132, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the total amount of coin production in the areas A1 to A3. The reward calculation unit 116 calculates the total amount of coin production in the area A1 by adding up the coin production in each of the shops M1 to M8 arranged in the area A1. The reward calculation unit 116 calculates the total amount of coin production for the areas A2 and A3 as well as the area A1.

  In step S133, the display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display balloons B1 to B3 associated with the displayed area images F1 to F3. Thereby, the screen of the display part 152 is updated to the game screen D11 shown to the state (A) of FIG. The game screen D11 includes area images F1 to F3 and balloons B1 to B3. Balloons B1 to B3 are additional images for notifying user A that coins can be collected from areas A1 to A3. Balloons B1 to B3 are also associated with areas A1 to A3.

  In step S134, the action accepting unit 111 accepts an operation input (for example, a tap operation) by the user A for any area image or balloon that is being displayed. In step S135, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the user A a total amount of coins corresponding to the area image or the area associated with the balloon input by the operation. For example, when an operation input for the area image F1 is received, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the user A a total amount of coins corresponding to the area A1 associated with the area image F1. For example, when an operation input for the balloon B1 is accepted, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the user A a total amount of coins corresponding to the area A1 associated with the balloon B1.

  The first user terminal 100-1 gives the user A the coins produced by the shops M1 to M8 arranged in the area A1 based on a single operation input by the user A, thereby creating a town. It is possible to reduce the trouble of the user A for collecting coins in the game. The first user terminal 100-1 can cause the user A to grasp that coins can be individually collected from the areas A1 to A3 by displaying the balloons B1 to B3 associated with the area images F1 to F3. The first user terminal 100-1 gives the user A a stronger sense that the coins have been collected from the area A1 by giving the user A a total amount of coins corresponding to the area A1 based on the operation input to the balloon B1. be able to.

  The reward calculation unit 116 calculates the coin production amount of each store in each area and the total coin production amount in each area in real time. For example, when the game screen D1 including the area images F1 to F3 is displayed, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the coin production amount in each store and the total coin production amount in each area for the areas A1 to A3. Calculate each in real time. For example, even when the game screen D3 that includes the area A1 but does not include the areas A2 and A3 is displayed, the reward calculation unit 116, for the areas A1 to A3, the coin production amount in each store and the coins in each area The total amount of production is calculated in real time.

  The reward calculation unit 116, for example, repeatedly executes steps S131 and S132 at regular intervals, thereby obtaining the latest coin production amount in each store for each area and the latest total coin production amount in each area, respectively. Update. Thereby, when the operation input for coin collection by the user A is received, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates the latest total amount of coins in any area (or the latest production amount coins in any store), It can be quickly given to user A. Since the user A can collect coins immediately after inputting an operation for collecting coins, the user A can play the city-building game more comfortably.

(Individual coins are given)
The 1st user terminal 100-1 can also give individually the coin which each store arranged in any area among areas A1-A3 produced based on user's A operation input. Hereinafter, an example in which coins produced by the stores M1 to M8 arranged in the area A1 are individually given to the user A will be described.

  As a premise, the first user terminal 100-1 displays a game screen D3 shown in the state (C) of FIG. When the coin production amounts at the stores M1 to M8 are calculated, the display control unit 115 causes the display unit 152 to display balloons B11 to B18 associated with the stores M1 to M8. Thereby, the screen of the display part 152 is updated to the game screen D13 shown to the state (B) of FIG. Balloons B11 to B18 are additional images for notifying the user A that the coins produced by the shops M1 to M8 can be individually collected from the shops M1 to M8.

  The action accepting unit 111 accepts an operation input (for example, a tap operation) of the user A for any store or balloon. When the operation input for any of the stores is received, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the user A coins of the production amount corresponding to the input store. For example, when an operation input to the store M1 is accepted, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the user A coins of the production amount corresponding to the store M1. When the operation input for any one of the balloons is received, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the user A coins of the production amount corresponding to the store associated with the balloon input by the operation. For example, when an operation input to the balloon B11 is received, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the user A coins of a production amount corresponding to the store M1 associated with the balloon B11.

  The first user terminal 100-1 gives coins produced by the shops M1 to M8 arranged in the area A1 individually based on the operation input of the user A, thereby coins produced by the shops M1 to M8, respectively. It is possible to satisfy the user A who enjoys the act of individually collecting. The first user terminal 100-1 displays the balloons B11 to B18 associated with the shops M1 to M8, thereby allowing the user A to grasp that coins can be individually collected from the shops M1 to M8 arranged in the area A1. be able to. The first user terminal 100-1 gives the user A a stronger sense of collecting coins from the store M1 by giving the user A coins of a production amount corresponding to the store M1 based on an operation input to the balloon B11. Can be given.

(Disaster occurrence)
FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an area A1 where a fire has occurred. The terminal processing unit 112 causes a disaster with a certain probability every certain time in each of the areas A1 to A3. Disasters include, for example, fire, illness, and crime. The terminal processing unit 112 causes a disaster in at least one of the plurality of building objects. When a disaster occurs in a building object, the characteristic of the building object changes to a characteristic that is disadvantageous for the user A playing the town-building game.

  The terminal processing unit 112 causes a probability calculation that causes a disaster in the areas A1 to A3 to be executed at regular intervals regardless of the display magnification and display range of the game space G1. For example, when the game screen D3 shown in the state (C) of FIG. 13 is displayed, the terminal processing unit 112 not only displays the area A1 displayed on the display unit 152 but also the areas A2 and A3 that are not displayed on the display unit 152. The probability calculation that causes a disaster is executed at regular intervals. The fixed time may be the same for the areas A1 to A3 or may be different for each area. The fixed probability may be the same for the areas A1 to A3 or may be different for each area.

  The terminal processing unit 112 changes the coin production capacity of the store where the fire has occurred. The terminal processing unit 112 changes the degree of influence on the coin production capacity of the store that the park where the fire broke out has. In FIG. 17, a fire N1 has occurred in the park K1, and a fire N2 has occurred in the store M3. The terminal processing unit 112 reduces the degree of influence of the park K1 in which the fire N1 has occurred, by a predetermined ratio (for example, 50%) or a quantity, as compared with the case where the fire N1 has not occurred. That is, the terminal processing unit 112 decreases the increase rate of the production capacity of the shops M4 and M5 arranged in the effective range E1 of the park K1 from, for example, 20% to 10%. The terminal processing unit 112 reduces the coin production capacity of the store M3 in which the fire N2 has occurred, for example, by 50% compared to the case where the fire N2 has not occurred.

  The reward calculation unit 116 calculates the coin production amount at the store M3 where the fire N2 is generated based on the changed production capacity. That is, the reward calculation unit 116 calculates, for example, a half of the coin production amount calculated when the fire N2 does not occur in the store M3 as the coin production amount calculated from the store M3.

  The reward calculation unit 116 calculates the coin production amount of the shops M4 and M5 that are affected by the park K1 in which the fire N1 occurs based on the production capacity that is affected by the degree after the change. That is, the terminal processing unit 112 is based on the production capacity after an increase of, for example, 10% (for example, an increase of 20% when there is no fire in the park K1) than the production capacity when not affected by the park K1. The coin production amount at the stores M4 and M5 is calculated.

  Since the first user terminal 100-1 increases or decreases the coin production amount depending on whether or not a disaster occurs, it is possible to further enhance the taste of the town planning game. Since the first user terminal 100-1 determines whether or not a disaster has occurred in real time, the influence of the disaster on the total amount of coins in the areas A1 to A3 can be reflected in the total amount of coins in real time.

  The first user terminal 100-1 can collectively give to the user A any arbitrary game points (items, population, etc.) other than coins in the same manner as the collective coins for each area. For example, the display unit 152 causes the display unit 152 to display balloons corresponding to coins and other balloons corresponding to items in association with the area images F1 to F3, respectively. When the operation input for the balloon corresponding to the coin is accepted, the reward calculation unit 116 gives the user A a total amount of coins corresponding to the area associated with the balloon input for the operation, and performs the operation input for the balloon corresponding to the item. Is received, a total amount of items corresponding to the area associated with the operation-input balloon is given to the user A.

(Displays the area of other users on the display unit 152)
The game space may include areas for each of a plurality of users, and each area of the users may be displayed on the display unit 152 in the display range of the game space. Each of the plurality of areas included in the game space may be associated with one of the plurality of users. For example, in the game space G1, an area A1 associated with the user A and an area A11 associated with the user B may be included. By doing so, the user can display an area associated with the user himself / herself on the display unit 152 by an operation of enlarging or reducing the game screen, or display an area associated with the user himself / herself and an area associated with another user. 152 can be displayed. Thereby, the user can play a city-building game while easily knowing the state of city-building by other users. In addition, about the game point corresponding to the production amount of each area contained in game space, a user operates and inputs with respect to the balloon linked | related with an area of another user, The item of the total amount corresponding to an area is concerned. It is good also as giving to another user. Thereby, the user can support the town planning of other users. At this time, a certain amount of game points, items, or the like may be given to a user who has input an operation to a balloon associated with another user's area. Thereby, the user can be further encouraged to support the town planning of other users, and the exchange between users is promoted.
