Here, an overview of the system in the first embodiment will be described. In the system according to the present embodiment, a battle game is provided to the user.

  The battle game in the present embodiment is a game in which an enemy character appears in a party composed of a plurality of characters, and an enemy character that has appeared and each character constituting the party are battled.

  In this battle game, a plurality of types of main games for the purpose of defeating enemy characters are set. The user can designate and play a desired main game from among the plurality of types of main games.

  Each main game is composed of a plurality of subgames in which the order of play is determined. The user can develop the game according to the story of the main game by playing in order from the first subgame.

  In each subgame, a plurality of classes are set according to the difficulty level. The user can play a subgame by designating a desired class from among the plurality of classes. In the present embodiment, any difficulty level can be designated from among an elementary level, an intermediate level, and an advanced level.

  However, in order to play the sub game, the user needs to consume from the point amount possessed by the user by the amount of points set in advance for each class. Therefore, when the amount of points possessed by the player is insufficient, the sub-games of each class cannot be played.

  In this embodiment, when the user can establish a predetermined condition in the designated sub-game, the amount of points consumed when playing a higher-order sub-game than the designated class is reduced. Be able to. Here, as an example of the predetermined condition, it is set to clear the sub-game of the designated class.

  Therefore, a user who has cleared the lower-class subgame can easily play the upper-class subgame by reducing the amount of points consumed from the point amount possessed by the user. You can increase your willingness to play.

  Further, in this embodiment, if any of the classes set in the first first sub game (first game) can be cleared, the next second sub game (second game) will be displayed. You can move forward. That is, since it is not necessary to clear all classes, the subgame can be advanced one after another relatively easily.

  If there are other classes that have not been cleared yet among the multiple classes set for the first first subgame, the first subgame may be used even if the second subgame is advanced. It is also possible to return to the first sub-game and designate another class that has not yet been cleared.

  At this time, if another class that has not yet been cleared is a higher class than the cleared class, the amount of points consumed can be reduced from the point amount possessed by itself as described above. , You can actively challenge sub-games of other classes that have not yet been cleared.

<Operation>
《Point consumption when “Beginner” is specified》
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to point consumption at the time of specifying “beginner” in the first embodiment.

  First, the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10 displays a game menu screen for allowing the user to select a game to be played (step S11).

  FIG. 6 is an image diagram illustrating an example of a game menu screen. The game menu screen 500 includes a main game list 501. The main game list 501 displays a list of a plurality of main games that can be played. When the user designates one of the main games from the main game list 501, a plurality of subgames constituting the designated main game are displayed in order. At this time, only playable subgames are highlighted. Here, when the user designates the “first main game”, the “first sub game (first episode)”, “second sub game (second episode)”, “third sub game” associated therewith are designated. (Third episode) "is displayed side by side in the order of the story, and only the" first subgame (first episode) "that can be played is highlighted. Further, a plurality of classes corresponding to the difficulty levels are displayed in association with the playable subgames. Here, operation buttons of “beginner”, “intermediate”, and “advanced” are displayed in association with the playable “first subgame”.

  Returning to FIG. 5, when the game menu screen 500 is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10, the user performs an operation of designating “beginner” of the “first subgame” that can be played. To do. The operation accepting unit 150 of the client terminal 10 accepts an operation content based on the user's designated operation when an operation for designating “beginning” of the “first subgame” is performed by the user on the game menu screen 500 ( Step S12).

  The request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 transmits a game start request for “beginning” of the “first subgame” to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

  Next, when the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 receives a game start request for “beginner” of the “first subgame” from the client terminal 10, it determines whether or not the user has insufficient points. Determination is made (step S13).

  Specifically, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 acquires the user's possession point amount from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and from the game information stored in the game information storage unit 223. The necessary point amount associated with “beginner” of “first subgame” selected by the user is acquired. Then, by comparing the acquired amount of possessed points of the user with the necessary amount of points associated with “Beginner” of the “first sub game”, it is determined whether or not the points possessed by the user are insufficient. .

  FIG. 7 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of user information. The user information shown in FIG. 7 includes items such as a user ID, a possessed point amount, the number of items possessed, a possessed character, a party, progress status information, and clear status information.

The game information shown in FIG. 8 includes, as items, a main ID, a main game name, a sub ID, a sub game name, an enemy character, a class, a necessary point amount, a reward, a moving image, and the like. The main ID is information for uniquely identifying the main game. The main game name is information indicating the name of the main game. The sub ID is information for uniquely identifying the sub game. The sub game name is information indicating the name of the sub game. Here, for one main game, three subgames corresponding to the story of the main game are set. The enemy character is information indicating a character to be an opponent in the sub game. Here, as shown in parentheses, the enemy character's level, attack power, defense power, HP and other ability values are also set. The class is information indicating the difficulty level of the sub game. Here, three classes of “beginner”, “intermediate”, and “advanced” are set for one subgame. The necessary point amount is information indicating the amount of points necessary for playing the sub-game of each class. The reward is information indicating the contents of the reward given when each sub-game of each class is cleared. The moving image is information indicating a moving image file that is reproduced when the subgame is cleared. Here, the same video is played back regardless of which class of sub-game is cleared.

  Returning to FIG. 5, if it is determined in the above-described step S <b> 13 that the user has insufficient points, the “beginner” of the selected “first sub game” is selected. You will not be allowed to play. Therefore, the process returns to the above-described step S11, and the game menu screen 500 is displayed again on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. When it is determined that the user has insufficient points, a screen for the user to acquire points may be displayed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the points possessed by the user are not insufficient, the process proceeds to step S14.

  Next, when it is determined that the user possesses no shortage of points (step S13: NO), the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 stores the “first subgame” selected by the user. By consuming the necessary point amount set in advance to the “beginner” from the possessed point amount of the user, the user is permitted to play the “beginner” of the “first subgame” (step S14). .

  Next, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 causes the display control unit 205 to display on the client terminal 10 a game screen for playing “beginner” of the “first subgame” selected by the user. Requests execution of screen display control. When the display control unit 205 of the server device 20 is requested by the game play permission unit 202 to execute screen display control, the client terminal 10 displays a game screen for playing “beginning” of the “first subgame”. The display is performed on the screen display unit 160 (step S15).

<< Point consumption when "Intermediate" is specified >>
FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to point consumption when “intermediate” is designated in the first embodiment.

  First, the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10 displays a game menu screen 500 as shown in FIG. 6 (step S21).

  Next, when the game menu screen 500 is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10, the user performs an operation for designating “intermediate” of the “first subgame” that can be played on the client terminal 10. Do it. When the user performs an operation for designating “intermediate” of “first subgame” on the game menu screen 500, the operation accepting unit 150 of the client terminal 10 accepts the operation content based on the user designated operation ( Step S22).

  The request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 transmits a game start request for “intermediate” of the “first subgame” to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

  Next, when the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 receives a game start request for the “intermediate” of the “first subgame” from the client terminal 10, the “beginner” that is one lower class than the “intermediate” It is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied in the “first sub game” (step S23).

  In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the user has cleared “beginner” of “first subgame” as a predetermined condition. That is, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 acquires the clear status information of the user from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222. Then, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the acquired clear status information and determines whether or not the user has cleared “beginner” of the “first subgame”.

  FIG. 10 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of clear status information. The clear status information shown in FIG. 10 includes main ID, main game name, sub ID, sub game name, class, clear flag, and the like as items. The main ID is information for uniquely identifying the main game played by the user. The main game name is information indicating the name of the main game played by the user. The sub ID is information for uniquely identifying the sub game played by the user. The sub game name is information indicating the name of the sub game played by the user. The class is information indicating each class of the sub game played by the user. The clear flag is flag information indicating whether the user has cleared each class. Here, flag information is set for each of the three classes of “beginner”, “intermediate”, and “advanced”.

  Returning to FIG. 9, the above-described processing in step S <b> 23 described above does not satisfy the predetermined condition in “beginner” of “first subgame” (that is, clear “beginner” of “first subgame”). If not, the process proceeds to step S25 described later. On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied in the “beginning” of the “first subgame” (that is, “beginning” of the “first subgame” is cleared), the next step S24 is performed. Proceed to processing.

  Next, the point amount control unit 203 of the server device 20 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied in the “beginner” of the “first sub game” (that is, the “beginner” of the “first sub game” has been cleared). If so, control is performed regarding the amount of points preset to “intermediate” of the “first subgame” (step S24).

  Specifically, the point amount control unit 203 of the server device 20 acquires a necessary point amount set in advance to “intermediate” of the “first sub game” from the game information stored in the game information storage unit 223, The obtained necessary point amount is varied so as to be reduced. In the present embodiment, based on the game information stored in the game information storage unit 223, the necessary point amount (“14P”) set in advance to the “intermediate” of the “first subgame” is used to determine the “first subgame” “ By subtracting the necessary point amount (“6P”) set in advance for “beginner”, the necessary point amount after the change (“14P” − “6P” = “8P”) is determined.

  At this time, the point amount control unit 203 of the server device 20 not only changes the necessary point amount set in advance to “intermediate” of “first sub game” but also “advanced” of “first sub game”. It is also possible to vary the necessary amount of points set in advance. In this case, the required point amount (“6P”) set in advance to the “beginning” of the “first subgame” from the required point amount (“32P”) set in advance to the “advanced” level of the “first subgame”. Is subtracted to determine the required point amount after the change (“32P” − “6P” = “26P”).

  Next, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 is thus controlled by the point amount control unit 203 of the server device 20 regarding the point amount preset to “intermediate” of the “first sub game”. Then, it is determined whether or not the points possessed by the user are insufficient (step S25).

  Specifically, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 does not satisfy the predetermined condition in the “beginner” of the “first sub game” in the process of step S23 described above (that is, “first sub game” If it is determined that the “beginner” of the “game” has not been cleared), the user's possessed point amount is acquired from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and the game stored in the game information storage unit 223 The necessary point amount (“14P”) associated with the “intermediate” of the “first subgame” selected by the user is acquired from the information. Then, by comparing the acquired user's possessed point amount with the necessary point amount (“14P”) associated with the “intermediate” of the “first sub game”, is the user possessing points insufficient? Determine whether or not.

  On the other hand, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 satisfies the predetermined condition in the “beginner” of the “first sub game” in the process of step S23 described above (that is, “first sub game”). The user's possession point amount acquired from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and the “first” after being changed by the process of step S24 described above. It is determined whether or not the points possessed by the user are insufficient by comparing the necessary point amounts (“14P” − “6P” = “8P”) associated with “intermediate” of “1 sub game”. .

  If it is determined that the user has insufficient points by the process of step S25 described above, the “intermediate” of the selected “first subgame” is played. Will not be allowed. Therefore, the process returns to the process of step S21 described above, and the game menu screen 500 is displayed again on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. When it is determined that the user has insufficient points, a screen for the user to acquire points may be displayed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the points possessed by the user are not insufficient, the process proceeds to step S26.

  Next, when it is determined that the user possesses no shortage of points (step S25: NO), the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 stores the “first subgame” selected by the user. By consuming the necessary point amount preset to “intermediate” (“14P”) or the necessary point amount after fluctuation (“14P” − “6P” = “8P”) from the possessed point amount of the user, The user is permitted to play the “intermediate level” of the “first subgame” (step S26).

  As described above, in this embodiment, after clearing “Beginner” of “First Subgame”, the amount of points consumed each time “Intermediate” of “First Subgame” (“14P” − “6P” ”=“ 8P ”) is the amount of points (“ 14P ”) consumed each time the“ intermediate ”of the“ first subgame ”is played without clearing the“ beginner ”of the“ first subgame ” Will be less. In other words, when playing the “intermediate” of the “first subgame”, depending on whether the “intermediate” is played sequentially from the “beginner”, or the “intermediate” is skipped and the “intermediate” is skipped. Since the amount of points consumed when playing the “intermediate” of the “1 sub-game” is different, it is possible to provide a strategy to the user.

  Next, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 causes the display control unit 205 to display a game screen for playing the “intermediate” of the “first subgame” selected by the user on the client terminal 10. Requests execution of screen display control. When the display control unit 205 of the server device 20 is requested by the game play permission unit 202 to execute screen display control, the client terminal 10 displays a game screen for playing “intermediate” of the “first subgame”. The display is performed on the screen display unit 160 (step S27).

  As described above, according to the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, when the user can clear the “first subgame” of “beginning”, “intermediate” (or higher rank) (or The amount of necessary points consumed when playing the “first subgame” of “intermediate” and “advanced”) can be reduced. As a result, a user who has established a predetermined condition in the lower class sub-game can easily play the upper class sub-game by reducing the amount of points consumed from the possessed point quantity. Can increase the willingness to play subgames.

<< Point consumption when "Advanced" is specified >>
FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to point consumption when “advanced” is designated in the first embodiment.

  First, the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10 displays a game menu screen 500 as shown in FIG. 6 (step S31).

  Next, when the game menu screen 500 is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10, the user performs an operation for designating “advanced” of the “first subgame” that can be played to the client terminal 10. Do it. When the user performs an operation for designating “advanced” of the “first subgame” on the game menu screen 500, the operation accepting unit 150 of the client terminal 10 accepts an operation content based on this user designated operation ( Step S32).

  The request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 transmits a game start request for “advanced” of the “first subgame” to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

  Next, when the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 receives a game start request for “advanced” of the “first subgame” from the client terminal 10, “intermediate” that is one lower class than “advanced” It is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied in the “first sub game” (step S33).

  At this time, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 is not limited to the “intermediate level” corresponding to the lower rank, but in the “first subgame” of the “beginning level” corresponding to the lower rank than the “advanced level” It is also possible to determine whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied.

  In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the user has cleared “intermediate” of the “first subgame” as a predetermined condition. That is, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 acquires the clear status information of the user from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222. Then, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the acquired clear status information and determines whether or not the user has cleared “intermediate” of the “first subgame”.

  Next, by the process of step S33 described above, the predetermined condition is not satisfied in the “intermediate” of the “first sub game” (that is, the “intermediate” of the “first sub game” is cleared). If it is determined that there is no), the process proceeds to step S35 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied in the “intermediate” of the “first subgame” (that is, “intermediate” of the “first subgame” is cleared), the next step S34 is performed. Proceed to processing.

  Next, the point amount control unit 203 of the server device 20 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied in the “intermediate” of the “first sub game” (that is, the “intermediate” of the “first sub game” has been cleared). If so, control is performed regarding the amount of points preset to “advanced” of “first subgame” (step S34).

  Specifically, the point amount control unit 203 of the server device 20 acquires the necessary point amount set in advance to “advanced” of “first subgame” from the game information stored in the game information storage unit 223, The obtained necessary point amount is varied so as to be reduced. In the present embodiment, based on the game information stored in the game information storage unit 223, the “first subgame” “first subgame” from the necessary point amount (“32P”) set in advance to “advanced” is set. By subtracting the necessary point amount (“14P”) set in advance to “intermediate”, the necessary point amount after variation (“32P” − “14P” = “18P”) is determined.

  At this time, the necessary point amount after change (“32P”) set to “intermediate” of “first subgame” from “necessary” amount set to “advanced” of “first subgame” (“ By subtracting “14P” − “6P” = “8P”), it is also possible to determine the necessary point amount after the change (“32P” − “8P” = “24P”).

  At this time, in the process of step S24 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 9, from the required point amount (“32P”) preset to “advanced” of “first subgame”, “beginner” of “first subgame” When the necessary point amount after the change (“32P” − “6P” = “26P”) is determined by subtracting the preset necessary point amount (“6P”), the “first sub Necessary point amount after change set to “Intermediate” of “first sub game” from necessary point amount after change (“32P” − “6P” = “26P”) set to “Advanced” of “Game” By subtracting (“14P” − “6P” = “8P”), it is also possible to determine the necessary point amount after further fluctuation (“26P” − “8P” = “18P”).

  Next, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 is thus controlled by the point amount control unit 203 of the server device 20 regarding the point amount preset to “advanced” of the “first sub game”. Then, it is determined whether or not the points possessed by the user are insufficient (step S35).

  Specifically, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 does not satisfy the predetermined condition in the “intermediate” of the “first sub game” in the process of step S33 described above (that is, “the first sub game”). If it is determined that “intermediate” of “game” has not been cleared), the user's possession point amount is acquired from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and the game stored in the game information storage unit 223 From the information, the necessary point amount (“32P”) associated with “advanced” of “first subgame” selected by the user is acquired. Then, by comparing the acquired user's possessed point amount with the necessary point amount (“32P”) associated with “advanced” of the “first sub game”, is the user possessing points insufficient? Determine whether or not.

  On the other hand, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 satisfies the predetermined condition in the “intermediate” of the “first sub game” in the process of step S33 described above (that is, “first sub game”). The user's possession point amount acquired from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and the “first” after being changed by the process of step S34 described above. It is determined whether or not the points possessed by the user are insufficient by comparing the necessary point amounts (“32P” − “14P” = “18P”) associated with “intermediate” of “1 sub game”. .

  If it is determined that the user has insufficient points by the process of step S35 described above, the “advanced” of the selected “first subgame” is played. Will not be allowed. Therefore, the process returns to the above-described step S31, and the game menu screen 500 is displayed again on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. When it is determined that the user has insufficient points, a screen for the user to acquire points may be displayed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the points possessed by the user are not insufficient, the process proceeds to step S36.

  Next, when it is determined that the user possesses no shortage of points (step S35: NO), the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 selects the “first subgame” selected by the user. By consuming the necessary point amount (“32P”) preset to “advanced” or the necessary point amount after the change (“32P” − “14P” = “18P”) from the possessed point amount of the user, The user is permitted to play “advanced” of the “first subgame” (step S36).

  As described above, in this embodiment, after clearing “intermediate” of “first subgame”, the amount of points consumed each time “advanced” of “first subgame” is played (“32P” − “14P”). ”=“ 18P ”) is the amount of points (“ 32P ”) consumed each time“ Advanced ”of“ First Subgame ”is played without clearing“ Intermediate ”of“ First Subgame ” Will be less. In other words, when playing “Advanced” in “First Subgame”, “Intermediate” and “Advanced” are played sequentially, or “Intermediate” is skipped and “Advanced” is started. Since the amount of points consumed when playing “advanced” of “1 sub-game” is different, it is possible to provide a strategy to the user.

  Similarly, after clearing “Beginner” and “Intermediate” of “First Subgame”, the amount of points consumed each time “Advanced” of “First Subgame” (“32P” − “8P” ”=“ 24P ”) is the amount of points consumed each time“ advanced ”of“ first subgame ”is played without clearing“ beginner ”and“ intermediate ”of“ first subgame ”(“ 32P "). That is, when you play “Advanced” of “First Subgame”, do you start from “Beginner” and play “Advanced” sequentially, or skip “Beginner” and “Intermediate” and start from “Advanced” Since the amount of points consumed when playing the “advanced” of the “first subgame” varies depending on the game, the strategy can be provided to the user.

  Next, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 causes the display control unit 205 to display on the client terminal 10 a game screen for playing “advanced” of the “first subgame” selected by the user. Requests execution of screen display control. When the display control unit 205 of the server device 20 is requested by the game play permission unit 202 to execute screen display control, the client terminal 10 displays a game screen for playing “advanced” of the “first subgame”. The display is performed on the screen display unit 160 (step S37).

  As described above, according to the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, when the user can clear the “intermediate” “first subgame”, the “advanced” “first” which is higher than that “first” subgame. The amount of necessary points consumed when playing “1 sub-game” can be reduced. As a result, a user who has established a predetermined condition in the lower class sub-game can easily play the upper class sub-game by reducing the amount of points consumed from the possessed point quantity. Can increase the willingness to play subgames.

《Flow after clearing ‘1st sub game’》
FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the flow after clearing the “first sub game” in the first embodiment.

  The game control unit 201 of the server device 20 determines one of the classes (“Beginner”, “Intermediate”, “Intermediate”, etc.) designated by the user on the game menu screen 500 shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not “advanced” is cleared (step S41).

  In this embodiment, based on the game information stored in the game information storage unit 223, whether or not the HP of the enemy character associated with the class specified by the user has been reduced to a predetermined value or less due to an attack from the user. Determines whether the enemy character has been defeated.

  As a result of this determination, when the class designated by the user cannot be cleared (step S41: NO), this process is terminated. On the other hand, if the class specified by the user can be cleared (step S41: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S42.

  Next, when any of the classes designated by the user can be cleared, the game control unit 201 of the server device 20 performs clear setting for the class of the “first sub game” (step S42).

  Specifically, the game control unit 201 of the server device 20 acquires the clear status information of the user from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222. And the game control part 201 of the server apparatus 20 updates the acquired clear status information, and clears it with respect to the class which the user cleared among each class matched with the "first subgame". Set a flag.

  Next, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 determines whether or not the play permission has already been set for the “second sub game” following the “first sub game” (step S43).

  Specifically, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 acquires the user progress information from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222. Then, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the acquired progress status information, and the “second sub game” subsequent to the “first sub game” has already set the play permission flag. It is determined whether or not.

  FIG. 13 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of progress status information. The progress status information shown in FIG. 13 includes items such as a main game name, a sub game name, and a play permission flag. The main game name is information indicating the name of the main game that the user is permitted to play. The sub game name is information indicating the name of the sub game for which the user is permitted to play the game. The play permission flag is flag information indicating whether or not sub game play is permitted.

  Returning to FIG. 12, if the result of determination in step S43 described above indicates that the play permission has already been set for the “second sub game” that follows the “first sub game” (step S43: YES). ), The process proceeds to step S45 described later. On the other hand, if the “second sub game” that follows the “first sub game” has not yet been set for play permission (step S43: NO), the process proceeds to the next step S44.

  Next, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 determines that the “second sub game” has not been set yet for the “second sub game” following the “first sub game”. Play permission is set for (Step S44).

  Specifically, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 acquires the user progress information from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222. Then, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 updates the acquired progress information, and sets a play permission flag for the “second sub game” that follows the “first sub game”. .

  In this way, if any of the classes set in the “first sub game” can be cleared, it becomes possible to proceed to the next “second sub game”. That is, it is possible to proceed to the next “second subgame” and play without clearing all classes of the “first subgame”.

  Next, based on the game information stored in the game information storage unit 223, the reward granting unit 204 of the server device 20 grants a reward associated with the class of the “first subgame” cleared by the user ( Step S45).

  Next, the game control unit 201 of the server device 20 displays the video of “first subgame” on the client terminal 10 when any of the classes set as “first subgame” is cleared as described above. The display control unit 205 is requested to execute screen display control. When the display control unit 205 of the server device 20 is requested to execute the screen display control from the game control unit 201, the display control unit 205 is based on the moving image file of “first subgame” set in the game information shown in FIG. Then, control is performed to display the video of the “first sub game” on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10 (step S46).

  In this way, the same moving image is played back regardless of which class set in the “first sub game” is cleared. Therefore, if you want to enjoy watching videos, when you play the sub-games in sequence, you can watch the videos (story) that develop one after another by specifying only "Beginner" Can do.

  In this embodiment, a user who has cleared one of the classes set in the “first sub game” (for example, “beginner”) proceeds to the next “second sub game” and plays the game. It is also possible to return to the “first subgame” and specify another class that has not yet been cleared (for example, “intermediate” or “advanced”) and play the game. At this time, if another class that has not yet been cleared is a higher class than the cleared class, the required amount of points consumed when playing the “first subgame” of the higher class as described above Can be reduced. Therefore, the willingness to play for the “first subgame” of the upper class can be increased.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment will be described. The configuration of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment described above.

  In the first embodiment described above, the required amount of points consumed when playing the “first subgame” of the higher class by establishing a predetermined condition in the “first subgame” of the lower class Can be reduced.

  On the other hand, in the second embodiment, when a predetermined condition is established in the “first sub game” of the upper class, it is consumed when the “first sub game” of the lower class is played. The amount of necessary points was reduced.

<Operation>
《Point consumption at the beginning level designation》
FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to point consumption when “beginner” is designated in the second embodiment.

  First, the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10 displays a game menu screen 500 as shown in FIG. 6 (step S51).

  Next, when the game menu screen 500 is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10, the user performs an operation for designating “beginner” of the “first subgame” that can be played to the client terminal 10. Do it. The operation accepting unit 150 of the client terminal 10 accepts an operation content based on the user's designated operation when an operation for designating “beginning” of the “first subgame” is performed by the user on the game menu screen 500 ( Step S52).

  The request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 transmits a game start request for “beginning” of the “first subgame” to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation reception unit 150 from the user.

  Next, when the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 receives a game start request for “beginner” of the “first subgame” from the client terminal 10, the “advanced” higher rank that is higher than “beginner” is received. It is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied in the “first sub game” (step S53).

  In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the user has cleared “advanced” of “first subgame” as a predetermined condition. That is, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 acquires the clear status information of the user from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222. Then, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 refers to the acquired clear status information and determines whether or not the user has cleared “advanced” of the “first subgame”.

  Next, by the process of step S33 described above, the predetermined condition is not satisfied in “advanced” of “first subgame” (that is, “advanced” of “first subgame” is cleared). If it is determined that there is no), the process proceeds to step S55 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied in “advanced” of “first subgame” (that is, “advanced” of “first subgame” is cleared), the next step S54 is performed. Proceed to processing.

  Next, the point amount control unit 203 of the server device 20 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied in “advanced” of “first subgame” (that is, “advanced” of “first subgame” has been cleared). If so, control is performed regarding the amount of points preset to “beginner” of “first subgame” (step S54).

  Specifically, the point amount control unit 203 of the server device 20 acquires a necessary point amount set in advance to “beginner” of the “first subgame” from the game information stored in the game information storage unit 223, The obtained necessary point amount is varied so as to be reduced. In the present embodiment, based on the game information stored in the game information storage unit 223, the necessary point amount (“6P”) preset to “beginning” of the “first subgame” is halved or zeroed, The required point amount after the change (“3P” or “0P”) is determined.

  At this time, the point amount control unit 203 of the server device 20 may reduce the required point amount (“14P”) preset to “intermediate” to half or zero in addition to “beginner” corresponding to the lower class. Is possible.

  Next, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 is thus controlled by the point amount control unit 203 of the server device 20 regarding the point amount preset to “beginner” of the “first subgame”. Then, it is determined whether or not the points possessed by the user are insufficient (step S55).

  Specifically, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 does not satisfy the predetermined condition for “advanced” of the “first subgame” in the process of step S53 described above (that is, “first subgame” If it is determined that “advanced” of “game” has not been cleared), the user's possession point amount is acquired from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and the game stored in the game information storage unit 223 From the information, the necessary point amount (“6P”) associated with the “beginner” of the “first subgame” selected by the user is acquired. Then, by comparing the acquired user's possessed point amount with the necessary point amount (“6P”) associated with “Beginner” of the “first sub game”, is the user possessing points insufficient? Determine whether or not.

  On the other hand, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 satisfies the predetermined condition in the “advanced level” of the “first sub game” in the process of step S53 described above (that is, “first sub game”). The user's possession point amount acquired from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and the “first” after being changed by the process of step S54 described above. By comparing the required point amount (“3P” or “0P”) associated with “Beginner” of “1 sub game”, it is determined whether or not the user has insufficient points.

  If it is determined that the user has insufficient points by the process of step S55 described above, the “beginner” of the selected “first subgame” is played. Will not be allowed. Therefore, the process returns to the process of step S 51 described above, and the game menu screen 500 is displayed again on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10. When it is determined that the user has insufficient points, a screen for the user to acquire points may be displayed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the user has no points, the process proceeds to step S56.

  Next, when it is determined that the user has no shortage of points (step S55: NO), the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 determines the “first subgame” selected by the user. By consuming the required point amount (“6P”) preset to “Beginner” or the required point amount after change (“3P” or “0P”) from the user's possessed point amount, It is permitted to play “beginner” of “first subgame” (step S56).

  Next, the game play permission unit 202 of the server device 20 causes the display control unit 205 to display on the client terminal 10 a game screen for playing “beginner” of the “first subgame” selected by the user. Requests execution of screen display control. When the display control unit 205 of the server device 20 is requested by the game play permission unit 202 to execute screen display control, the client terminal 10 displays a game screen for playing “beginning” of the “first subgame”. The display is performed on the screen display unit 160 (step S57).

  As described above, according to the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, when the user can clear the “first subgame” of “advanced”, the “beginner” (or lower class) (or The amount of necessary points consumed when playing the “first subgame” of “beginner” and “intermediate”) can be reduced. This makes it easier for a user who has established a predetermined condition in the upper-class subgame to play the lower-class subgame by reducing the amount of points consumed from the possessed point amount. Therefore, the user who played the upper class subgame can be guided to play the lower class subgame.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, the information processing system 1 according to the third embodiment will be described. The configuration of the information processing system 1 according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the information processing system 1 according to the first embodiment described above.

  In the second embodiment described above, the required amount of points consumed when playing the “first subgame” of a lower class by establishing a predetermined condition in the “first subgame” of the upper class Can be reduced.

  On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the predetermined condition is established in the “first sub game” of the lower class by establishing the predetermined condition in the “first sub game” of the upper class. I considered it as a thing.

<Operation>
《Flow after clearing ‘1st sub game’》
FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the flow after clearing any of the “beginning”, “intermediate”, and “advanced” classes of the “first subgame” in the third embodiment.

  The game control unit 201 of the server device 20 clears the “beginner level” as a result of the user specifying “beginner” of the “first subgame” on the game menu screen 500 shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not (step S61).

  In the present embodiment, based on the game information stored in the game information storage unit 223, whether the HP of the enemy character associated with the “beginner” designated by the user has fallen below a predetermined value due to an attack from the user It is determined whether or not the enemy character has been defeated.
