As shown in FIG. 1, the video game processing system 100 includes a video game processing server 10 and user terminals 20, 201 to 20N (N is an arbitrary integer) used by a plurality of users. Note that the configuration of the video game processing system 100 is not limited thereto, and a single user terminal may be used by a plurality of users, or a configuration including a plurality of servers.

  The video game processing server 10 and the plurality of user terminals 20 and 201 to 20N are each connected to a communication network 30 such as the Internet. Although not shown, the plurality of user terminals 20 and 201 to 20N are connected to the communication network 30 by performing data communication with a base station managed by a communication provider through a wireless communication line.

  The video game processing system 100 has various functions for controlling the progress of a video game (so-called online game) in which a plurality of players play in the same virtual space (including a synchronized virtual space and an asynchronous virtual space). Have. In this example, the case where the video game processing system 100 targets a so-called cloud game (or cloud gaming) will be described as an example.

  The video game processing server 10 is managed by an administrator of the video game processing system 100, and has various functions for providing information related to the video game to the plurality of user terminals 20, 201 to 20N.

  The video game processing server 10 is configured by an information processing apparatus such as a WWW server, and includes a storage medium that stores various types of information. In the video game processing system 100, it is preferable that the video game processing server 10 manages information related to the video game from the viewpoint of reducing the processing load on each of the plurality of user terminals 20, 201 to 20N. In this example, the video game processing server 10 performs various processes based on information received from the user terminal, and transmits output information (for example, video information and sound information) that has been rendered to the user terminal.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the video game processing server 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the video game processing server 10 includes a control unit 11, a communication unit 12, a search unit 13, a determination unit 14, an update unit 15, and a video game information storage unit 16.

  The control unit 11 includes a CPU, a ROM, and the like, and has a function for controlling the entire video game processing server 10 in accordance with a control program stored in the video game information storage unit 16.

  The communication unit 12 has a function for communicating with a plurality of user terminals 20 and 201 to 20N via a communication network 30 such as the Internet.

  The search unit 13 searches for information according to the progress of the video game (for example, information according to the progress of the video game at each user terminal) from various information stored in the video game information storage unit 16. It has the function of.

  The determination unit 14 has a function for making various determinations according to the progress of the video game.

  The update unit 15 has a function for updating various information stored in the video game information storage unit 16 in accordance with the progress of the video game. The information used for the update process may be obtained from a plurality of user terminals 20 and 201 to 20N, or may be prepared in advance in the video game information storage unit 16.

  The video game information storage unit 16 is constituted by, for example, a database device, and stores various information related to the video game that the video game processing system 100 controls its progress, and various data such as a video game control program. It is.

  Here, an outline of a video game whose progress is controlled by the video game processing system 100 will be described. In this example, the video game processing system 100 controls the progress of a video game that can be created by a user by operating a user terminal to be disclosed to other users. Hereinafter, a case where the user creates “a game stage on which various objects are arranged” as content will be described.

  The user arranges various objects that can be acquired in the game in the virtual space assigned to him and creates a game stage. Further, the user places an object (gacha object) having a so-called gacha function on his game stage. Then, the created game stage is disclosed to other users. The other user visits the game stage created by the user and works on a gacha object placed on the game stage (by performing an action corresponding to so-called “turning gacha”) to acquire an in-game item. At this time, for example, by restricting in-game items that can be acquired from the gacha object according to the configuration of the game stage, it is urged to create or visit various game stages.

  The game stage in this example includes a game stage that imitates a so-called ball coaster (coaster stage) and a game stage that imitates a destructible building (building stage). When creating a coaster stage, a user creates a game stage in consideration of the movement of a ball thrown when another user plays the game stage. When creating a building stage, a user creates a game stage in consideration of a destructive action that is performed when another user plays the game stage.

  In addition, tasks can be set for the game stage, the task of the coaster stage is “move the ball from the starting point to the goal point”, and the task of the building stage is “destroy the key points of the building” ”.

  Also, the difficulty level is set for the game stage according to the difficulty of achieving the task. In this example, the difficulty level is set based on a predetermined standard (for example, the type, number, combination, etc., of arranged objects) related to the configuration of the game stage.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of content. Here, a description will be given using an example of a coaster stage. As shown in FIG. 3, the coaster stage includes an object (start object) S indicating a start point, an object (gacha object) GO having a gacha function, and an object (goal object) G indicating a goal point. It is arranged in the virtual space according to the operation. Further, in this example, in addition to the objects constituting the lane in which the ball B moves, an object (influence object) AO that affects the movement of the ball B moving in the lane is also arranged according to the user's operation. FIG. 3 shows an example of content in which three affected objects AO1 to AO3 are arranged according to a user operation. Note that the method for creating content by the user is not particularly limited, and each user may create content from 1 using a given material (for example, various objects), or by sequentially selecting default options. The content may be created.

  Content created by a user is disclosed to other users by various methods. And a user plays the content created by the other user, and acquires the in-game item from a gacha object. Information that allows the user to guess the content of the content as a material for the user to determine whether or not to play the content created by another user (for example, when the level of difficulty of the content and the task set for the content are achieved) It is preferable that the user is provided with in-game items that can be acquired, popularity of content, or clear number of people).

  In this example, the video game information storage unit 16 includes a user information storage unit 16a, a content related information storage unit 16b, and an object related information storage unit 16c in order to control the progress of the video game described above.

  The user information storage unit 16a is a storage medium that stores user information that is information about each user. In this example, the user information includes information necessary for the user to play a video game, such as user identification information, level, and possessed items (not shown). In this example, the user information includes content identification information (for example, a content number) created by the user.

  The content related information storage unit 16b is a storage medium that stores content related information that is information related to content created by the user. The content-related information can include various information characterizing the content such as the degree of simplicity of the content and identification information of the user who created the content, in addition to information (content information) for using the content on the user terminal. Note that in this example, configuring the content in the virtual space mainly by the user is referred to as “creation”, and embodying the content as information mainly by the server 10 is referred to as “generation”. Shall. Although it may be omitted as appropriate for ease of explanation, strictly speaking, a virtual space displayed on the game screen is referred to as “content”, and information for visualizing the content by a computer is referred to as “content information”. Shall be called.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a storage state of content related information in the content related information storage unit 16b. As shown in FIG. 4, the content related information includes a content number for uniquely identifying the content, a user (creator) who created the content, the number of times of provision, the number of achievements, the number of gacha objects, and the difficulty. Including degrees.

  Here, the difficulty level means the difficulty for achieving the task set in the content. In this example, the difficulty level is classified into five levels according to the content configuration. The criteria for determining the level of difficulty include methods that use rules (judgment rules) related to the composition of content, and numerical values related to the usage status of the content, such as the number of plays and the number of achievements set for the content (number of clears). The method to use etc. can be considered. In addition, when employ | adopting a judgment rule, you may use the rule relevant to the kind and number of objects arrange | positioned at content, for example.

  The object-related information storage unit 16c is a storage medium that stores object-related information that is information about an object (or in-game object) used for content. The object related information includes information on various objects that can be arranged in the virtual space by the user.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a storage state of the object related information in the object related information storage unit 16c. As shown in FIG. 5, the object related information includes an object number for uniquely identifying the object, the type of the object, an in-game item, and the difficulty level.

  The type of object means the characteristic of the object. In this example, the types of objects include “gacha object” and “influence object”. Here, the gacha object is an object that gives an opportunity (or a trigger) of processing for providing in-game items to the user, and is an object that can be set as an issue in the content. That is, it can be said that a general “gacha” is “to start lottery of in-game items in response to the user consuming a predetermined in-game item and to provide in-game items as a lottery result to the user”. On the other hand, the “gacha object” in this example is “the one that starts lottery of in-game items in response to a predetermined condition being satisfied during content play and provides the user with in-game items as the lottery result” "You can say that. That is, the gacha object in this example is an object used in content executed between “item consumption by user” and “lottery of in-game items” (in other words, a lottery trigger object that can be placed in the content) ). In other words, the gacha object in this example is an object that can give the video game processing system 100 an opportunity to associate the in-game item identification information with the user identification information. However, the concept of “providing in-game items to users” includes not only the concept of “associating identification information of in-game items and user identification information” but also “in-game effects corresponding to in-game items”. The concept of “the user or the user reflecting the content being played (for example, increasing a specific parameter)” may be included.

  The in-game item means an in-game item that can be acquired by the user when a task corresponding to the object set (arranged) in the content is achieved. In this example, a rare degree is associated with the in-game item, and it is preferable that the in-game item with a higher rare degree is associated with a gacha object having a higher difficulty level. Although not shown, an appearance rate is set for the in-game item, and in the lottery when the in-game item is given to the user via the gacha object, a lottery based on the appearance rate set for the in-game item is selected. Is preferably performed.

  The difficulty level means a parameter set in advance for each gacha object. While the difficulty level corresponding to the content (content difficulty level) is determined according to the content configuration, the difficulty level of the gacha object is determined at least before the user can use the gacha object. In this example, the difficulty level of the gacha object is determined based on the various costs required by the user when placing the content in the content and the issues corresponding to the gacha object (that is, the user to acquire the in-game item via the gacha object). It is preferable that the content of the action to be performed (for example, passage or destruction) is reflected.

  Each of the plurality of user terminals 20 and 201 to 20N is managed by a user (player) who plays a video game. And a communication terminal capable of playing a network distribution type game. Each of the plurality of user terminals 20 and 201 to 20N is connected to the communication network 30 and communicates with the video game processing server 10 to execute hardware (for example, a display for displaying a game screen). Device, audio output device, etc.) and software. The plurality of user terminals 20 and 201 to 20N may be configured to be able to perform direct communication without using the video game processing server 10.

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the user terminal 20. As shown in FIG. 6, the user terminal 20 includes a control unit 21, a communication unit 22, an output unit 23, an operation reception unit 24, and a video game information storage unit 25.

  The communication unit 22 performs video game processing on various functions necessary for executing a video game on the user terminal, such as a function for receiving various information from the video game processing server 10 and operation information received by the operation receiving unit 24. And a function for transmitting to the server 10. In this example, the communication unit 22 communicates with the video game processing server 10 via the communication network 30.

  The output unit 23 has a function for outputting video and music corresponding to the progress of the video game by a display device (display) and a sound generation device (audio device) included in the user terminal 20. In this example, the output unit 23 executes processing for realizing cloud gaming (for example, processing for displaying video information received from the video game processing server 10 on a display screen on a display device).

  The operation reception unit 24 has a function for receiving various operation inputs by the user. In this example, the operation reception unit 24 receives an operation input by the user via an operation unit (touch panel) included in the user terminal 20.

  The video game information storage unit 25 is a storage medium that stores various types of information related to the video game that the video game processing system 100 controls its progress, and various types of data such as a video game control program. In this example, the video game information storage unit 25 is a storage unit for storing information for realizing cloud gaming (for example, a video for temporarily storing video information received from the video game processing server 10). An information storage unit 25a and a sound information storage unit 25b) for temporarily storing the received sound information are also provided.

  Next, the operation of the video game processing system 100 of this example will be described. Note that the contents of operations and processes not related to the present invention may be omitted.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of content generation related processing executed by the video game processing system 100. In the content generation-related processing, processing for creating content (more specifically, generating content information) is performed in accordance with a user operation. Hereinafter, a case where the video game processing server 10 (server 10) and the user terminal 20 (terminal 20) execute content generation related processing will be described as an example.

  The content generation related process is started in response to, for example, the server 10 receiving a content information generation request from the terminal 20. The timing at which the terminal 20 transmits a content information generation request to the server 10 is not particularly limited. For example, the user uses a predetermined generation start condition (for example, a specific in-game item according to the progress of the video game). ) May be configured to transmit a content information generation request to the server 10.

  In the content generation related process, first, the server 10 transmits a predetermined content creation screen to the terminal 20 (step S101). In this example, the server 10 transmits to the terminal 20 information for displaying a game stage creation screen indicating the virtual space that is the basis of the game stage as content and the options of objects that can be placed in the virtual space. .

  When the terminal 20 receives the content creation screen, the terminal 20 displays the content creation screen on the display screen of the display device included in the terminal 20 (step S201). The content creation screen is preferably configured so that the user can intuitively create content. In this example, the game stage creation screen, which is an example of the content creation screen, arranges objects according to the user's tap operation. A configuration in which an object that can be placed is placed at a position indicated by the tap operation in response to accepting a tap operation on the object placement possible position in the virtual space when the object is in a placeable state. And Further, it is assumed that an object arranged in the virtual space can be moved and deleted according to a user's slide operation (not shown).

  When the content creation screen is displayed, the terminal 20 generates operation information corresponding to the user operation (step S202). In this example, the terminal 20 generates operation information indicating various operations (for example, selection, movement, deletion, duplication, purchase, etc.) of the user.

  When generating the operation information, the terminal 20 transmits the generated operation information to the server 10 (step S203). In this example, when the terminal 20 receives a content creation end operation by the user, the terminal 20 transmits operation information indicating the operation input received so far to the server 10. In this example, a case where the terminal 20 receives a content creation screen that can update display contents in accordance with a user operation will be described as an example. However, every time the terminal 20 receives a user operation, the server 20 It is good also as a structure which transmits operation information to 10 and receives and displays the content creation screen produced | generated by the server 10. FIG.

  When the server 10 receives the operation information generated at the terminal 20, the server 10 generates content information corresponding to the user based on the received operation information (step S102). In this example, the server 10 generates the content information by associating the basic information of the content, the arrangement of the object indicated by the operation information, and the identification information of the user X of the terminal 20.

  When the server 10 generates content information, the server 10 determines whether the generated content information includes a gacha object (that is, whether a gacha object is arranged in the content included in the content information) (step S103). In this example, the server 10 refers to the operation information and determines whether or not there is a gacha object among the objects arranged in the virtual space. If it is determined that the content information does not include a gacha object (N in step S103), the server 10 proceeds to a process in step S105 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the content information includes a gacha object (Y in step S103), the server 10 specifies a difficulty level corresponding to each gacha object included in the content information (step S104). In this example, the server 10 refers to the object related information and specifies the difficulty level of the gacha objects arranged on the game stage.

  After identifying the difficulty level of the gacha object, the server 10 identifies the difficulty level of the content (step S105). In this example, the server 10 specifies the difficulty level of the content based on the number of objects arranged in the content. The server 10 may be configured so that the difficulty level set by the user is the content difficulty level. Note that the time when the server 10 specifies the difficulty level of the content is not limited to the time when step S105 is executed. For example, the content that satisfies the predetermined condition corresponding to the event when the server 10 generates the event in the game. The difficulty level may be set. In addition, the “configuration” of the content for specifying the difficulty level is not limited to the virtual structure of the content (for example, how to combine objects arranged in the virtual space or functionally related), but the type set in the content And various elements such as attributes.

  When the server 10 specifies the difficulty level of the content, the server 10 updates the content related information (step S106) and ends the processing here. In this example, the server 10 updates the content-related information so that the generated content information (for example, information in which the content and the difficulty level are associated) and the content number are associated (see FIG. 4). .

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of content distribution related processing executed by the video game processing system 100. In the content distribution related processing, processing for distributing (providing) content information generated in response to an operation of a certain user to another user is performed.

  For example, the content distribution related process is started in response to the server 10 receiving a content distribution request from the terminal 20.

  In the content distribution-related process, first, the server 10 generates a content selection screen corresponding to the received content distribution request and transmits it to the terminal 20 (step S301). In this example, the server 10 selects a predetermined number of game stages from game stages other than the game stage created by the user of the terminal 20, and generates a game screen indicating the selected game stage as a content selection screen. It transmits to the terminal 20. Note that the content selection method provided to the user is, for example, a selection rule based on content created by the user (for example, content including content not used by the user, or the difficulty level of content created by the user). It is preferable that the content suitable for the user's preference is selected, such as a method using a rule that prioritizes being content with the same difficulty level as the above.

  Upon receiving the content selection screen, the terminal 20 transmits a request for providing the content selected by the user to the server 10 (step S401). In this example, the terminal 20 displays a content selection screen (not shown) on the display screen of the display device that the terminal 20 includes, and selects the content selected in response to receiving a user operation on the content selection screen. A content provision request including user identification information is generated.

  Upon receiving the content provision request, the server 10 determines content (provided content) to be provided to the user based on the received provision request (step S302). In this example, the server 10 determines one content indicated by the provision request as the provision content.

  When the provided content is determined, the server 10 generates a screen (content screen) for the user to play the provided content on the terminal 20 and transmits the screen to the terminal 20 (step S303). In this example, the server 10 generates the content screen so that the terminal 20 does not need to generate video and sound related to the content. That is, processing for generating a screen showing a game stage based on content information (for example, coordinates of various objects in the virtual space) is executed. In other words, the server 10 provides content information to the user of the terminal 20 in the process of step S303. A configuration that allows a user to select a plurality of contents (for example, a configuration in which the server 10 generates information for executing a plurality of contents on the terminal 20 and transmits the information to the terminal 20) may be employed.

  When the terminal 20 receives the content screen, the terminal 20 displays the received content screen (step S402). In this example, the terminal 20 outputs the video and sound rendered by the server 10. The terminal 20 also performs processing for evaluating user play such as timing and reception of user operations while displaying the game stage as content. Note that the terminal 20 may be configured not to allow user operations (or to allow only fast-forwarding and skipping operations when the content screen is a moving image). In this case, for example, the server 10 may be configured to generate a content screen in which the content play result is determined according to a predetermined evaluation rule.

  When the content screen is displayed, the terminal 20 transmits the achievement result of the problem corresponding to the content to the server 10 (step S403). In this example, when the terminal 20 displays the coaster stage (see FIG. 3), the terminal 20 controls the movement of the ball B according to the user's operation (for example, acceleration or jump), and according to the movement trajectory of the ball B. The achievement result of the task is determined, and the determination result is transmitted to the server 10 when the transmission condition is satisfied. Further, when the building stage is displayed (not shown), the terminal 20 attacks an object placed on the game stage in accordance with a user operation (for example, a cannonball with a predetermined destructive force is set as an object). The task achievement result is determined according to the destruction state of the object, and the determination result is transmitted to the server 10 when the transmission condition is satisfied. The transmission condition (that is, the transmission timing of the achievement result of the task) is not particularly limited, and the task is achieved (for example, the ball B passes through the gacha object or the gacha object is destroyed by the shell). May be set as the transmission condition, or the end of the content may be set as the transmission condition.

  When receiving the achievement result of the assignment, the server 10 determines a privilege to be given to the user based on the achievement result of the assignment (that is, a reward for playing or clearing the content) (step S304). In this example, the server 10 determines a privilege using at least one of the type and difficulty level of the content or gacha object.

  After determining the privilege, the server 10 gives the determined privilege to the user (step S305). In this example, the server 10 updates the user information so that the determined privilege is associated with the user. In addition, it is good also as a structure which gives the privilege according to the achievement status of a subject, and the frequency | count of delivery (or the number of delivery users) with respect to the user who created the content provided to the user at this time. In this case, for example, the server 10 updates the user information so that the user who created the content can recognize which user has been given the privilege as a result of using the content (for example, the predetermined information). The in-game production generation flag may be raised).

  When providing the privilege, the server 10 updates the content-related information (step S306) and ends the process here. In this example, the server 10 updates information related to the content distribution status such as the number of times of provision and the number of times the content has been achieved. In addition, for example, the server 10 updates the content related information to restrict the content distribution based on the content distribution history, such as a configuration in which the content related information is updated so that the content played once is not distributed to the same user for a certain period of time. It is good also as composition to do.

  As described above, in each of the above-described embodiments, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10 or the terminal 20) that controls the progress of the video game in accordance with the user's operation is in response to the user's operation. The degree of difficulty corresponding to the configuration of the created content (for example, game stage) is identified (for example, step S105), and the user (for example, the terminal 20 on which a game screen corresponding to the content is displayed is displayed based on the identified degree of difficulty. The user is prompted to select content created by another user (for example, step S304).

  In other words, since the reward obtained by the achievement user changes for each content created by various users, it becomes possible to prompt the user to select the content according to the user's preference for the reward. Selection of the selected content "can be prompted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10 or the terminal 20) generates content information including the content and the task (for example, step S102), and the user who has created the content (for example, for example) The server 10 provides the content information including the content to a user different from the user who has input the operation information referred to again when the server 10 generates the content information (for example, step S303), and achieves the problem with the determined privilege. Since the content is given to the user (for example, step S305), the user can be prompted to play the content created by another user.

  In the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10 or the terminal 20) responds to the progress of the video game (that is, for example, progress of time, change of game element value, specific status or By using various progresses or changes that may occur in video games, such as updating flags or accepting user operations, as at least one of the trigger for determination and the criterion for determination) Is determined (for example, step S304), a gacha object that triggers the process of providing the in-game item to the user is arranged in the virtual space (see, for example, the coaster stage in FIG. 3), and virtual. Set the task to work on gacha objects placed in space (for example, gacha objects Since content information including a virtual space in which at least one gacha object is arranged is generated (for example, step S102), a novel game characteristic is added to the in-game item acquisition method. Will be able to.

  In the embodiment described above, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10 or the terminal 20) stores a gacha object and a difficulty level in association with each other and stores a gacha object (for example, the object related information storage unit 16c). ), The difficulty level corresponding to each gacha object arranged in the content is specified based on the content configuration (for example, step S104), and the user achieves a predetermined achievement condition regarding the gacha object according to the progress of the video game When (for example, passing or destroying a gacha object) is satisfied, it is determined that the task corresponding to the gacha object has been achieved, and a privilege is determined based on the difficulty level of the gacha object corresponding to the task determined to be achieved. (Step S304) Over THE is possible to create, and other users will be able to improve the taste of the playable content. In other words, since gacha can be arranged in the content, it is possible to give a wide range of elements that can be devised by the user when creating and using the content.

  In the above-described embodiment, the video game processing apparatus (for example, the server 10 or the terminal 20) moves a predetermined moving object (for example, a ball on the coaster stage) in the virtual space based on a user operation. (For example, when a course is run), an influence object (for example, a lane constituting a ball coaster in FIG. 3 or a plurality of pitfalls AO1 to AO3) is virtually displayed in accordance with a user operation. When the moving object moves on or near the gacha object, it is determined that the task corresponding to the gacha object has been achieved, so multiple users can create a variety of content. So that we can provide an environment That. Note that the influence of the influence object on the moving object is not limited to “change in the moving direction” due to “lane” or “pitfall”, and various things such as “acceleration” and “deceleration” can be considered.

  In the above-described embodiment, the gacha object includes a destructible object (for example, a gacha object arranged on a building stage) that is in a destructive state according to the received damage, and a video game processing device ( For example, when the server 10 or the terminal 20) damages a predetermined object (for example, a gacha object placed on a building stage) based on a user operation and the destructible object is in a destructive state, the destruction is performed. Since it is determined that the task corresponding to the object has been achieved, the content can be created and selected according to the user's preference.

  In the embodiment described above, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10 or the terminal 20) stores an in-game item and a difficulty level in association with each other and stores the in-game item storage (for example, object related information storage). Since the in-game item associated with the degree of difficulty corresponding to the achieved content is determined as a privilege (for example, step S304), according to the level (or proficiency level) of the user. In-game items can be provided. The in-game item corresponding to the difficulty level of the entire content and the in-game item corresponding to the difficulty level of each object may be managed separately by the video game processing device, or both may be associated with each other and managed. It is good also as a structure to be made.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10 or the terminal 20) receives operation information input by a plurality of users, and 1 based on the received operation information. One content information may be generated. With such a configuration, the connection between users can be strengthened. In this case, the video game processing apparatus may be configured to synchronize content creation screens displayed on terminals used by a plurality of users, or may be configured to allow each user to create or edit content asynchronously. .

  Although not specifically mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10 or the terminal 20) may be configured to limit the number of gacha objects that can be placed in the content. By adopting such a configuration, for example, even when the configuration is such that in-game items are consumed in order to play the content once, it is possible to prevent an imbalance between the content. In this case, the limit of the gacha objects that can be arranged in the content may be changed according to the number of content creators and the type or number of in-game items consumed to play the content once.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10 or the terminal 20) can easily determine the difficulty of the gacha object based on the arrangement of the gacha object in the content (for example, the game stage). It is good also as a structure which sets a degree. In this case, for example, the difficulty level of the gacha object in which other objects are arranged in the vicinity of the predetermined number is set higher than the difficulty level of the other gacha object, or the difficulty level is set higher as it is closer to the goal. What is necessary is just to make it the structure which the information (reference | standard information) which shows the setting reference | standard of a difficulty level has memorize | stored.

  Although not specifically mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10 or the terminal 20) determines the difficulty level of the content (for example, the game stage) based on the play situation by other users. It is good also as a structure to determine. In this case, for example, the video game processing apparatus does not set the difficulty level of the content when generating the content information (or sets an initial value according to a predetermined rule), and the content playing status by other users (for example, clearing the game stage) The difficulty level of the content may be set (or updated) based on the number of times and the average value of task achievement ratios.

  Although not specifically mentioned in the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10 or the terminal 20) accepts selection of the difficulty level of the content by the user, and is based on the difficulty level selected by the user. The content creation material may be provided to the user (for example, a game screen including various objects arranged on the game stage is displayed). With such a configuration, the user can create content corresponding to a desired difficulty level.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the video game processing server 10 and the plurality of user terminals 20 and 201 to 20N each have various control programs (for example, a video game processing program) stored in a storage device provided therein. The various processes described above are executed according to the above.

  In the above-described embodiment, the video game processing system 100 has the server 10 having a function of executing various processes (for example, rendering) used for executing the video game, and the output information received from the server 10. (For example, the video game processing system 100 constitutes a so-called cloud gaming system.) Case). However, the configuration of the video game processing system 100 is not limited to the configuration described above, and for example, the server 10 may be configured to execute part or all of the processing described as the processing executed by the user terminal, or the server 10 may execute the processing. A part or all of the processing described as the processing to be performed may be configured to be executed by any one of the plurality of user terminals 20 and 201 to 20N (for example, the user terminal 20). Moreover, it is good also as a structure with which the some user terminal 20 and 201-20N are provided with one part or all part of the memory | storage part with which the server 10 is provided.
