Description

  The present invention relates to a game control device, a game system, and a program.

  A game in which a user owns a plurality of objects and uses an object selected from the plurality of objects is known. For example, a baseball game is known in which a user trains an original player character, forms a team with a player character selected from a plurality of player characters trained by the user, and plays against an opponent team (for example, a patent) Reference 1).

  In the above-described game, when the number of objects owned by the user increases, some objects owned by the user are reduced due to the limited number of objects used. For example, high performance objects may be used more often, but less capable objects may simply be owned and used less.

  Therefore, it is strongly desired to realize a function that enables effective use of objects that have been used less frequently. In this regard, the game as described above may have a sale function that allows a user to sell an object owned by the user. According to this sale function, the user can obtain an in-game currency by selling an object whose usage opportunity has decreased.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2006-163679

  However, in the case of the sale function described above, the user simply selects an object whose usage opportunity has decreased as a sale target, so there is a lack of interest in the act itself, and the sale function is active. It was not said that it was used.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and the object thereof is, for example, a game control apparatus that can effectively use an object whose use opportunity is reduced and can improve the interest of the act. It is to provide a game system and a program.

  In order to solve the above problem, a game control device according to an aspect of the present invention indicates a condition that the first object must satisfy in order to exchange the first object associated with the user identification information with the second object. Condition information selection accepting means for accepting selection of condition information, object selection accepting means for accepting selection of the first object, and whether or not the selected first object satisfies the condition indicated by the selected condition information An association means for associating the second object associated with the selected condition information with the user identification information in exchange for the selected first object based on the determination result.

  A game system according to an aspect of the present invention includes a condition information selection receiving unit that receives a selection of condition information indicating a condition related to a first object associated with user identification information, and an object selection receiving unit that receives a selection of the first object. And the user identification of the second object associated with the first condition information in exchange for the first object based on the determination result of whether or not the first object satisfies the condition indicated by the condition information. Association means for associating with information.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  [1. Configuration of Game System] FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a game system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a game terminal 10 and a server 30. The game terminals 10 can perform data communication with each other via the server 30 and the network N.

  The game terminal 10 is a computer used by a user to play a game. For example, the game terminal 10 includes a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a portable information terminal (including a tablet computer), a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a home game machine (stationary game machine), and a portable game machine. Or an arcade game machine installed in a play facility or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game terminal 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, an operation unit 14, a display unit 15, and an audio output unit 16. The operation unit 14, the display unit 15, and the audio output unit 16 may be provided in the game terminal 10 itself, or may be provided as an external device connected to the game terminal 10.

The communication unit 13 is for data communication with other devices via the network N.

  The operation unit 14 is for a user to perform various operations. The display unit 15 is for displaying various images, and is, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. Although the operation unit 14 and the display unit 15 are separately illustrated in FIG. 1, the operation unit 14 and the display unit 15 may be integrally configured as a touch panel. It is not essential to integrally configure the operation unit 14 and the display unit 15 as a touch panel. For example, the operation unit 14 may be a button (key), a lever (stick), a touch pad (trackpad), a mouse, or the like. The display unit 15 may be provided separately. The operation unit 14 may be for the user to perform an operation by voice or gesture. The audio output unit 16 is for outputting audio data, and is, for example, a speaker or headphones.

  The server 30 is a server computer, for example. As shown in FIG. 1, the server 30 includes a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, and a communication unit 33. The control unit 31, the storage unit 32, and the communication unit 33 are the same as the control unit 11, the storage unit 12, and the communication unit 13 of the game terminal 10. The server 30 can access the database DB. The database DB may be built in the server 30 or may be built in a server computer different from the server 30.

  The program and data are supplied to the game terminal 10 or the server 30 from a remote location via the network N and stored in the storage unit 12 or the storage unit 32. Note that the game terminal 10 or the server 30 may include a component (for example, an optical disk drive or a memory card slot) for reading a program or data stored in an information storage medium (for example, an optical disk or a memory card). . And a program and data may be made to be supplied to the game terminal 10 or the server 30 via an information storage medium.

  [2. Outline of Game] In the game system 1, a game is executed by executing a program on the game terminal 10. The game system 1 can execute various games. For example, various games and genres such as sports games (games based on baseball, soccer, tennis, American football, basketball, volleyball, etc.), adventure games, simulation games, role-playing games, or training games It is possible to execute a simple game.

  For example, a game in which the user owns a plurality of objects and uses an object selected from the plurality of objects is executed in the game system 1. Below, a baseball game is demonstrated as an example of the game performed with the game system 1. FIG.

  The baseball game described here includes a training part and a battle part. The training part is a game part in which a user trains a game character and creates his own original character. On the other hand, the battle part is a game part in which the user forms his / her baseball team using the original character created in the training part and plays against the opponent's baseball team.

  [2-1] In the training part, the user trains the hero character (game character that is the hero) while practicing the scenario (game story) to train the hero character and creates an original character of his own. .

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the flow of the training part. As shown in FIG. 2, in the growing part, after the pre-phase PH10 is executed, the growing phase PH11 is executed. In the pre-phase PH10, information necessary for the breeding phase PH11 is registered and set.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the pre-phase PH10, first, basic information of the main character is registered (PH100). For example, the name, position, dominant arm, hitting form (or throwing form), etc. of the main character are registered as basic information.

  When registration of the basic information of the main character is completed, an event deck is set (PH101). FIG. 3 shows an example of an event deck setting image displayed on the display unit 15 for setting an event deck.

  Here, the “event deck” will be described. The event deck is constructed using one or a plurality of game characters. In the training phase PH11, various events such as an event advantageous for improving the ability of the main character occur. In this regard, in the training phase PH11, the event that occurs is not fixed, and the event that occurs varies depending on one or more game characters incorporated in the event deck. For this reason, the user can select an event that can occur in the breeding phase PH11 by selecting a game character to be incorporated into the event deck. Hereinafter, a game character that can be incorporated into an event deck is referred to as an “event character”.

  When the baseball game is played for the first time, a predetermined number of event characters are given to the user. In addition, the user can obtain an event character by lottery, obtain an event character as a reward in the game, or obtain an event character from another user.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the event deck setting image G100 includes six setting frames A101-1, A101-2, A101-3, A101-4, A101- for setting event characters that are members of the event deck. 5, A102 is provided.

  The setting frames A101-1 to A101-5 are frames for arbitrarily setting event characters owned by the user as members of the event deck. The setting frame A102 is a frame for arbitrarily setting an event character owned by another user as a member of the event deck. In the setting frames A101-1 to A101-5 and A102, an image showing the event character incorporated in the event deck by the user is displayed together with the rarity and level of the event character.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, “R”, “SR”, “N”, and “PSR” displayed on the upper side of the image of the event character indicate the rarity of the event character. “Rarity” indicates, for example, difficulty in obtaining an event character. The higher the event character's rarity, the more difficult it is to obtain the event character. In general, the higher the event character's rarity, the higher the usefulness (ability, effect, etc.) of the event character. Therefore, “rareness” also indicates the usefulness of the event character. For example, PSR (Powerful Super Rare), SR (Super Rare), PR (Powerful Rare), R (Rare), PN (Powerful Normal), or N (Normal) are set for each event character. . When these are arranged in order from the highest, they become PSR, SR, PR, R, PN, N. Even in the same event character (the event character having the same name and having the same appearance (image)), there may be different rarities.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, “Lv.8”, “Lv.5”, “Lv.10”, and “Iv.3” displayed on the lower side of the image of the event character indicate the level of the event character. For example, an experience value is given to an event character by synthesizing another event character with the event character. Then, when the experience value of the event character reaches a predetermined value, the level of the event character increases by one.

  When the user selects any of setting frames A101-1 to A101-5 (for example, when a tap operation (an operation of touching for a short time) is performed on any of setting frames A101-1 to A101-5), An event character list image for selecting an event character to be set in the setting frame is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of an event character list image. The event character list image G110 shows a list of event characters owned by the user. Note that the event character list image G110 includes an element P111. A process for returning to the event deck setting image G100 is associated with the element P111. For this reason, when the user selects the element P111, the event deck setting image G100 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  The event character list image G110 includes an element P112 for making the setting frame empty (a state in which no event character is set), and elements P113-1 to P113 respectively corresponding to the event characters owned by the user. -9. Each of the elements P113-1 to P113-9 indicates the image, rarity, and level of the event character. For event characters already incorporated into the event deck, the text (or image) “in use” is displayed, and the same event character cannot be duplicated and incorporated into the event deck.

  When the user performs a long press operation (an operation that keeps touching for a predetermined time or more) on any of the elements P113-1 to P113-9, an image indicating information on the event character corresponding to the element is displayed on the display unit 15. Is displayed.

  On the other hand, when the user performs a tap operation on any of the elements P113-1 to P113-9, an event character corresponding to the element is assigned to the setting frame. When the user selects the element P111, the setting frame is set to an empty state.

  As described above, the user sets event characters in the setting frames A101-1 to A101-5 of the event deck setting image G100. When the user selects the setting frame A102 of the event deck setting image G100, an image for selecting an assistant from among event characters owned by other users is displayed on the display unit 15. When the user selects one of the event characters owned by another user, the event character is set in the setting frame A102.

  Note that an area A103 of the event deck setting image G100 indicates a good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck. For each event character, “Blow”, “Strength”, “Strike”, “Shoulder”, “Defense”, “Mental”, “Ball speed”, “Control”, “Stamina”, “Change ball” 10 One of the types of exercises is set as a good practice. In the training phase PH11 (scenario), the ability of the hero character can be increased by causing the hero character to practice. In particular, there is a case where the ability of the hero character can be increased more than usual by causing the hero character to practice the specialty of the event character incorporated in the event deck.

  The element P104 is for automatically setting event characters in the setting frames A101-1 to A101-5 and A102, and the element P105 is for completing the setting of the event deck. . When the user selects the element P105, the event deck setting is completed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the event deck setting is completed, a game item is selected (PH102). The user can obtain a game item that is advantageous for improving the ability of the main character as a reward, or can obtain it from another user. In this phase PH102, the user selects a game item to be used in the breeding phase PH11 from the game items owned by the user.

  When the selection of the game item is completed, the breeding phase is started (PH11). In the training phase PH11, the scenario proceeds by repeatedly selecting an action (practice, rest, play, etc.) that the user causes the hero character to perform. In this scenario, the hero character belongs to a high school baseball club, and while practicing with teammates, participates in a baseball tournament and aims to be scouted as a professional baseball player in the fall of the third year of high school. As described above, in the scenario, an event character incorporated in the event deck appears, and an event occurs according to the event character.

  In the training phase PH11, experience points are given to the main character based on the action selected by the user. The user can improve the ability of the main character using the experience points. For example, the basic ability of the hero character can be increased, or the hero character can acquire special abilities. In the training phase PH11, a pitcher or fielder player character can be created.

  When the scenario progresses to the end, the development of the main character is completed. The hero character that has been trained is registered as an original character (PH12). In this case, an original character registration image for registering the hero character that has been trained as an original character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of an original character registration image. In the original character registration image G120, information on the main character who has been trained is displayed. For example, elements P121 and P122 of the original character registration image G120 indicate the image, name, position, batting form, and dominant arm of the hero character that has been trained.

  An element P123 indicates a basic ability parameter of the hero character that has been trained. In the example shown in FIG. 5, ballistics, meat, power, running power, shoulder power, defense power, and catching parameters are shown, and numerical values and alphabets are shown for each basic ability parameter. The numerical value indicates the value of the basic ability parameter, and the alphabet (for example, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G) indicates the level (stage) of the basic ability. “S” indicates that the basic ability is very high, and “G” indicates that the basic ability is very low.

  The ballistic parameter indicates how high the hit ball is raised. The meet parameter indicates the meet force (ability to hit the bat against the ball thrown by the pitcher). The power parameter indicates power (the ability of a pitcher to throw away by hitting a ball with a bat). The running force parameter indicates the speed of the foot. The shoulder force parameter indicates the speed of the pitching. The defensive power parameter indicates the defensive skill.

  Element P124 indicates a special ability acquired by the main character who has been trained. In the example shown in FIG. 7, “chance ◎”, “left pitcher ○”, and “theft ○” are shown as special abilities. “◎” and “◯” indicate the level of special ability, and “◎” indicates that the level of special ability is higher than “○”.

  “Chance ◎” is a special ability that is very strong in chance. If the original character has acquired “Chance ◎”, the basic ability of the original character greatly increases during the chance. “To the left pitcher ○” is a special ability that is strong against the left pitcher. If the original character has acquired “left pitcher ○”, the basic ability of the original character increases when the opponent's pitcher is the left pitcher. “Stolen ○” is a special ability that makes it easy to succeed in stealing. If the original character has acquired “Stolen ○”, the original character is likely to succeed in stealing.

  The original character registration image G120 includes an element P125. The element P125 is associated with a process for registering the hero character that has been trained as an original character. For this reason, when the user selects the element P125, the hero character that has been trained is registered as the original character. In addition, after the completion of the breeding part, another hero character can be trained (that is, another original character is generated) by starting the breeding part from the beginning again.

  [2-2] The original character registered in the breeding part can be used in the battle part. In the battle part, the user forms his baseball team using the original character created in the training part, and aims to win the battle with the opponent's baseball team.

  [2-3] Since the number of original characters that can be used in the battle with the opponent is limited, when the number of original characters owned by the user increases, some original characters that are not used in the battle also appear. For example, since the user tends to preferentially use the original character with high ability for the battle with the opponent, the original character with inferior ability is not used for the battle and is likely to be simply owned. . In this regard, the baseball game according to the present embodiment has a function that allows the user to effectively use the original character that has been used less frequently. Specifically, the user can acquire a game item in exchange for the original character by releasing the original character in response to an offer from the game system 1. Hereinafter, this function is referred to as an “offer function”. Hereinafter, the offer function will be described.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of an offer list image. The offer list image G130 shows a list of offers from the game system 1 to the user. Offer list image G130 includes a plurality of elements P131-1 to P133-4 respectively corresponding to a plurality of offers. Each of the elements P131-1 to P133-4 indicates the content of the offer, the degree of difficulty, and the centerpiece item.

  For example, the element P131-1 indicates that the offer content is “I want a delicious meat player”, the difficulty level is “1”, and the main item is “game item C2”. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the difficulty level is indicated by the number of stars. The more stars, the more difficult it is. The higher the difficulty level, the stricter the required conditions for the original character, and the harder it becomes to acquire the eyeball item. This point will be described later (see FIGS. 7, 11, and 12).

  In the game system 1, a plurality of offers are prepared. FIG. 7 shows an example of an offer master table showing a list of offers prepared in the game system 1. As shown in FIG. 7, the offer master table TBL101 includes “ID”, “content”, “difficulty”, “condition”, “acquired candidate item”, and “negotiation time” fields.

  The “ID” field indicates information for uniquely identifying each offer prepared in the game system 1. The “content” field indicates the content of the offer. In other words, the “content” field gives an overview of the original character requested in the offer.

  The “difficulty” field indicates the difficulty of responding to the offer. The larger the value in the “difficulty” field, the higher the difficulty. “Condition” indicates the condition of the original character requested by the offer. Offers that are more difficult are more demanding than those that are less difficult. For example, an offer with a high difficulty level has a larger number of conditions than an offer with a low difficulty level. Further, for example, in an offer with a high difficulty level, a condition that is difficult to be satisfied is set as compared with an offer with a low difficulty level.

  The “acquisition candidate item” field indicates game item candidates that the user can acquire in exchange for the original character. Here, the game item may be used to advantageously advance the breeding of the original character in the breeding part, or may be used to advantageously advance the battle in the battle part. Also good.

  As the difficulty level is higher, game items with higher value (performance or rarity) are included in the acquisition candidate items. In other words, the higher the difficulty level, the more useful game items are included in the acquisition candidate items. In the example illustrated in FIG. 7, an S-class game item, an A-class game item, a B-class game item, a C-class game item, and a D-class game item are set as acquisition candidate items. If these are arranged in order from the highest value, they become S-class game items, A-class game items, B-class game items, C-class game items, and D-class game items.

For example, the following game items are set as acquisition candidate items (any of S-class game items to D-class game items).
-Items that restore the hero character's physical strength in the training part (recovery drugs, etc.)
-Items that raise the probability of occurrence of a specific event in the training part (amulet etc.)
-Items that temporarily increase the ability of the original character in the battle part (a special bat that temporarily increases the power parameter, a special gum that temporarily increases the meat parameter, a special gum that temporarily increases the control parameter Ball or special gum that temporarily increases the ball speed parameter)

  Note that a game item that can be used other than the breeding part and the battle part may be set as an acquisition candidate item (any one of the S-class game item to the D-class game item). For example, in-game currency or points may be set as an acquisition candidate item. Specifically, in-game currency (or points) required to obtain special game items, points (or in-game currency) required to draw lots of event characters, and necessary for performing battles Points (or in-game currency) or the like may be set as an acquisition candidate item.

  The “eyeball item” described in FIG. 6 is a game item having the highest value among the acquisition candidate items. In other words, the “eyeball item” indicates a game item having the highest value among game items that the user can possibly acquire in exchange for the original character.

  The “negotiation time” field indicates the negotiation time when the user responds to the offer. As will be described later, when the user selects an original character to be released and responds to the offer, an effect is made as if exchange negotiation between the original character to be released and the acquisition candidate item is performed, depending on the negotiation result , At least one of the acquisition candidate items is given to the user. “Negotiation time” indicates the elapsed time in the real world until the negotiation result is obtained. The higher the difficulty, the longer the negotiation time.

  The content of the offer OF101 (the offer whose ID is “OF101”) is “I want a delicious player of meat”, and the offer OF101 is an offer that requests the user to release an original character with high meet ability. . The difficulty level of the offer OF101 is “1”, and one condition is set for the offer OF101. Specifically, there is one condition that the meet parameter is “C” or more (that is, the condition that the meet parameter is “S”, “A”, “B”, or “C”). Only set. Further, the acquisition candidate items include C class game items and D class game items, and the negotiation time is set to 30 minutes.

  The content of offer OF201 (the offer whose ID is “OF201”) is “I want a player who is strong in chance”, and offer OF201 requests the user to release an original character that can demonstrate its ability in the chance scene Is an offer to. The difficulty level of the offer OF 201 is “2”, and two conditions are set in the offer OF 201. Specifically, a condition that the power parameter is “C” or more (that is, a condition that the power parameter is “S”, “A”, “B”, or “C”) and a special Two conditions are set, such as the condition that the ability “chance ○ or ◎” is possessed. These two conditions are conditions relating to different items (ability items). In the offer OF201, more conditions are set than in the offer OF101, and therefore, the difficulty level is higher than that of the offer OF101. Further, the acquisition candidate item includes a class B game item, and the negotiation time is set to 60 minutes. That is, as compared with the offer OF101, game items with higher value are included in the acquisition candidate items, and the negotiation time is longer.

  The content of the offer OF301 (an offer whose ID is “OF301”) is “I want a player with high response”, and the offer OF301 releases an original character that can respond to various pitchers and scenes. This is an offer requested to the user. The difficulty level of the offer OF 301 is “3”, and three conditions are set in the offer OF 301. Specifically, the condition that the meet parameter and the power parameter are “C” or more (that is, the meet parameter and the power parameter are both “S, A, B, C”) and the special ability “ Three conditions are set: a condition that the player has “left or right pitcher ○ or ◎”, and a condition that the player has the special ability “flowing ○ or ◎”. These three conditions are also conditions related to different items (ability items). In the offer OF 301, more conditions are set than in the offer OF 201, and therefore, the difficulty level is higher than in the offer OF 201. Further, the acquisition candidate items include Class A game items, and the negotiation time is set to 90 minutes. That is, as compared with the offer OF201, game items with higher value are included in the acquisition candidate items, and the negotiation time is longer.

  The content of the offer OF 401 (the offer whose ID is “OF 401”) is “I want a player trained using the event characters“ Yabe ”and“ Kamoto ””, and the offer OF 401 contains the event characters “Yabe” and “ This is an offer requesting the user to release the original character created by playing the breeding part with both “Kamoto” set in the event deck. The difficulty level of the offer OF 401 is “4”, and three conditions are set in the offer OF 401. Specifically, an event character “Yabe” with a rarity “R” or higher was cultivated while being set in the event deck, and an event character “Kamoto” with a rarity “R” or higher was set in the event deck. There are three conditions: the condition that the meat parameter is grown and the condition that the meat parameter is “A” or more (that is, the condition that the meat parameter is “S” or “A”). Is set. These three conditions are also related to different items. The number of conditions is the same as that of the offer OF 301, but the offer OF 401 has limited types and rarities of event characters used in the breeding part, and therefore the difficulty level is higher than the offer OF 301. Further, the acquisition candidate items include S-class game items, and the negotiation time is set to 120 minutes. That is, as compared with the offer OF301, game items with higher value are included in the acquisition candidate items, and the negotiation time is longer.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, offers with difficulty levels “1” to “4” are registered, but offers with difficulty level “5” or higher may be registered.

  An offer for the user is selected from a plurality of offers registered in the offer master table TBL101. For example, a predetermined number of offers of each difficulty level are selected (for example, one by one) for each user at a predetermined time every day (for example, midnight). The offer list image G130 displays the offer selected for each user as described above. For this reason, the offer displayed on the offer list image G130 differs depending on the user. Further, the offer displayed on the offer list image G130 changes every day. It should be noted that the offers displayed on the offer list image G130 may be the same for the entire game system 1 without being different for each user. Further, all offers registered in the offer master table TBL101 may be displayed on the offer list image G130.

  The user designates any offer by performing a tap operation on any of the elements P131-1 to P131-4 of the offer list image G130. When any offer is specified, an offer information image indicating the detailed information of the offer is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the offer information image. FIG. 8 shows an offer information image G140 when a tap operation is performed on the element P131-3 (that is, when the offer OF301 is specified). In the offer information image G140, the content, difficulty level, negotiation time, conditions, and acquisition candidate items of the specified offer are displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8, game items A1, B1, C1, and D1 are displayed as acquisition candidate items. In the game system 1, game items that can be set as acquisition candidate items are defined for each rank. FIG. 9 shows an example of an acquisition candidate item master table TBL102 in which game items that can be set as acquisition candidate items are determined for each rank. In the acquisition candidate item master table TBL102, game items (ID, name) that can be set as acquisition candidate items are registered for each rank. Here, “ID” is identification information for uniquely identifying each game item.

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, game items that can be set as acquisition candidate items are game items S1 to S3 that are S-class game items, game items A1 to A3 that are A-class game items, and B-class game items. Game items B1 to B3, game items C1 to C3 that are class C game items, and game item D1 that is a class D game item are registered. For example, when a class A game item is included in an acquisition candidate item, one of the game items A1 to A3 is randomly selected based on a random number and set as one of the acquisition candidate items. The same applies to the S-class game item, the B-class game item, the C-class game item, and the D-class game item.

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, only one game item (game item D1) is registered as a D-class game item, but a plurality of game items may be registered as a D-class game item. Conversely, only one game item may be registered as an S-class game item, an A-class game item, a B-class game item, or a C-class game item.

  In the offer with the difficulty level “3”, the class A game item, the class B game item, the class C game item, and the class D game item are set as acquisition candidate items (see FIG. 7). Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. The game items A1, B1, C1, and D1 are selected as the A class game item, the B class game item, the C class game item, and the D class game item, respectively, and are displayed on the offer information image G140 as acquisition candidate items.

  Offer information image G140 includes element P141. A process for returning to the offer list image G130 is associated with the element P141. For this reason, when the user selects the element P141, the offer list image G130 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  Further, offer information image G140 includes element P142. A process for selecting an offer displayed in the offer information image G140 is associated with the element P142. For this reason, when the user selects the element P142, the offer displayed in the offer information image G140 is selected, and an original character list image for selecting an original character to be released for the offer is displayed on the display unit 15. The

  FIG. 10 shows an example of the original character list image. The original character list image G150 includes an element P156. A process for returning to the offer information image G140 is associated with the element P156. For this reason, when the user selects the element P156, the offer information image G140 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  In area A151 of original character list image G150, a plurality of elements P152 (P152-1 to P152-6, etc.) respectively corresponding to the original characters owned by the user are displayed. For example, in the element P152-1 corresponding to the original character “Tanaka”, the name (Tanaka) and the total ability (C) of the original character are displayed. Here, the “total ability” is a comprehensive evaluation of the ability of the original character. For example, the “total ability” is indicated by “S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G”. It is. “S” indicates that the ability is very high, and “G” indicates that the ability is very low.

  The user designates the original character by performing a tap operation on any of the plurality of elements P152. The example illustrated in FIG. 10 illustrates a case where a tap operation is performed on the element P152-1. In this case, for example, the element P152-1 is distinguished and displayed by adding a thick frame to the element P152-1.

  In the area A153, information of the original character designated by the user is displayed. When the tap operation is performed on the element P152-1, the original character “Tanaka” corresponding to the element P152-1 is designated, and information on the original character “Tanaka” is displayed in the area A153. The For example, the name, position, dominant arm, ballistic parameter, meat parameter, power parameter, running force parameter, shoulder strength parameter, and defensive strength parameter are displayed in the area A153.

  In the area A154, the conditions of the player requested by the offer specified by the user are displayed. Further, in the area A154, a condition that the designated original character is satisfied is shown. In the example shown in FIG. 10, elements P155-1 and P155-2 indicating check marks are displayed. Elements P155-1 and P155-2 indicate conditions that the specified original character is satisfied among the conditions displayed in the area A154.

  Since the meet parameter and power parameter of the original character “Tanaka” are both “C”, the original character “Tanaka” satisfies the condition “meet, power is“ C ”or higher”. For this reason, a check mark (element P155-1) is displayed in association with the condition.

  Further, since the original character “Tanaka” has the special ability “Opposite pitcher ○” (see FIG. 5), the original character “Tanaka” “has an“ opposite pitcher ○ or ◎ ””. The conditions are satisfied. For this reason, a check mark (element P155-2) is displayed in association with the condition.

  On the other hand, since the original character “Tanaka” does not have any of the special abilities “sinking ○” and “sinking ◎” (see FIG. 5), the original character “Tanaka” has “sinking ○ or ◎”. Does not satisfy the condition of “having”. For this reason, a check mark is not displayed in association with the condition.

  Further, the expected degree is displayed in the area A154. The degree of expectation indicates the expectation of the negotiation result when it is assumed that the original character designated by the user has been released. In the game system 1, a negotiation result is determined based on the total ability of the original character and the number of conditions that the original character is satisfied. FIG. 11 shows an example of the negotiation result table for determining the negotiation result. The negotiation result table TBL103 is set for each difficulty level of the offer. FIG. 11 mainly shows the negotiation result table TBL103 when the difficulty level is “3”.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the negotiation result table TBL103, a negotiation result (great success, success, or failure) is determined for each combination of the total ability of the original character and the number of conditions satisfied by the original character. Yes.

  In the example shown in FIG. 11, even if the original character does not satisfy all the conditions, the negotiation result does not become “failure” if the total ability of the original character is high. For example, even if there is one condition that the original character is not satisfied with, if the original character's total ability is “A, B, C”, the negotiation result becomes “success”, and the original character If the overall ability of the character is “S”, the negotiation result is “great success”. For example, even if there are two conditions that the original character is not satisfied with, if the total ability of the original character is “S”, the negotiation result becomes “success”.

  The negotiation result affects the game item (acquired item) that the user acquires in exchange for the original character. FIG. 12 shows an example of an acquired item table for determining acquired items. In the acquired item table TBL104, an acquired item corresponding to the negotiation result is determined for each difficulty level of the offer.

  In the acquisition item table TBL104, the better the negotiation result is, the more the game item can be acquired by the user. Furthermore, the higher the difficulty level of the offer, the more the game item can be acquired by the user.

  Here, it is assumed that the difficulty level of the offer is “3”. As shown in FIG. 7, in the offer with the difficulty level “3”, a class A game item, a class B game item, a class C game item, and a class D game item are set as acquisition candidate items.

  For example, when the negotiation result is “failure”, a D-class game item is given to the user from among these acquisition candidate items. When the negotiation result is “successful”, two randomly selected from the class A game item, the class B game item, and the class C game item based on a random number are given to the user. In this case, a higher-value game item is given to the user than when the negotiation result is “failure”.

  Further, for example, when the negotiation result is “great success”, one of the class B game item and the class C game item is randomly selected based on a random number and the class A game item is given to the user. The If the negotiation result is “success”, the class A game item (eyeball item) may not be given to the user, whereas if the negotiation result is “very successful”, the class A game item Is surely given to the user. That is, a high-value game item is surely given to the user.

  The degree of expectation displayed in the area A154 of the original character list image G150 serves to suggest whether the negotiation result is “great success”, “success”, or “failure”. For example, the degree of expectation takes a value of “1” to “3”, and the degree of expectation is indicated in the area A154 by the number of stars. Expectation degree “1” indicates that the negotiation result is “failure”. Expectation level “2” indicates that the negotiation result will be “success”. Expectation level “3” indicates that the negotiation result will be “very successful”. As described above, when the negotiation result is “great success”, the user can surely acquire the feature item. In addition, when the negotiation result is “success”, the user may be able to acquire the feature item. For this reason, the degree of expectation also plays a role of suggesting the possibility that the user can acquire the eyeball item. In the example shown in FIG. 10, since the degree of expectation is “2”, when the original character “Tanaka” is released for the offer, the negotiation result becomes “success” and there is a possibility that the main item can be acquired. It suggests that there is.

  The user selects an original character to be released in response to the offer (original character to be released) while referring to the contents of the areas A153 and A154. That is, while referring to the contents of the areas A153 and A154, the user selects an original character that has a higher possibility of acquiring an eyeball item as an emission target.

  In the area A151 of the original character list image G150, the display order of the original characters may be set based on the total ability. For example, the display order of the original characters may be set in descending order of the total ability. That is, you may display an original character in an order from a thing with high comprehensive ability. For example, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 10, in the vertical direction, an original character having a higher total ability may be displayed above. In the horizontal direction, an original character having a higher total ability may be displayed on the left. In the case of the example shown in FIG. 10, the user tends to look at the element P152 (original character) in order from the upper side or the left side of the area A151. The user can easily select a higher original character.

  Original character list image G150 includes element P157. The element P157 is associated with a process for selecting an original character in a designated state as an emission target. For this reason, when the user selects the element P157 in the state shown in FIG. 10, the original character “Tanaka” is selected as the release target.

  When the element P156 is selected, a confirmation image for performing final confirmation as to whether or not to respond to the offer is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of a confirmation image. Element P161 of confirmation image G160 is a message that plays the same role as the degree of expectation displayed in region A154 of original character list image G150. That is, the element P161 plays a role of suggesting a negotiation result and a possibility that the user can acquire the feature item.

  The message displayed as the element P161 varies depending on the degree of expectation (expected negotiation result). FIG. 14 shows an example of a message table for determining a message to be displayed as the element P161. The message table TBL105 is set for each difficulty level. In the message table TBL105, a message is associated with a combination of the degree of expectation and the number of conditions satisfied by the original character.

  In the offer with difficulty level “3”, when the number of conditions satisfied by the original character is 0, the negotiation result cannot be “success” or “great success” (see FIG. 11), Is not set to “2” or “3”, no message is set in the message table TBL105. Similarly, in the offer with the difficulty level “3”, the negotiation result cannot be “failure” when the number of conditions satisfied by the original character is three (see FIG. 11), and the expectation level is “1”. Therefore, no message is set in the message table TBL105.

  The user finally determines whether or not to respond to the offer while referring to the content of the element P161. When the user does not respond to the offer, the user selects the element P163. When the element P163 is selected, the original character list image G150 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  On the other hand, when responding to the offer, the user selects the element P162. When element P162 is selected, it is determined that the original character selected for release is released for the offer. That is, the selection of the offer and the selection of the original character to be released are formally accepted, and negotiation is executed. However, the negotiation is not actually executed, the negotiation result is determined according to the negotiation result table TBL103, and the game item to be acquired by the user is determined according to the acquired item table TBL104.

  The negotiation result is notified to the user after the negotiation time has elapsed. FIG. 15 shows an example of the offer list image G130 before the negotiation time has elapsed. In the example illustrated in FIG. 15, an element P132 indicating that negotiation is in progress and the remaining time until the negotiation is completed (negotiation time elapses) is displayed in association with the element P131-3.

  FIG. 16 shows an example of the offer list image G130 when the negotiation time has elapsed. In the example illustrated in FIG. 16, an element P133 indicating that negotiation has been established is displayed in association with the element P131-3. When the user selects the element P131-3 in this state, a negotiation completion image indicating that the negotiation has been established is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 17 shows an example of a negotiation completion image. In the area A171 of the negotiation completion image G170, the contents and difficulty level of the offer that the user responds are displayed.

  In the area A172, information on the original character released by the user in response to the offer is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the name of the original character released by the user and the player conditions requested by the offer are displayed. Similarly to the area A154 of the original character list image G150, in the area A172, elements P173-1 and P173-2 are displayed in association with conditions satisfied by the original character.

  In the area A174, information on game items acquired by the user is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the name of the game item acquired by the user is displayed.

  Element P175 is for ending the confirmation of the negotiation result. When the user selects element P175, offer list image G130 is displayed. At this time, in the offer list image G130, an offer with another difficulty level “3” is displayed as the element P131-3, and a new offer is presented to the user.

  According to the offer function described above, the user can acquire a game item in exchange for an arbitrary original character. For example, the user can acquire a game item in exchange for an original character that has been used less frequently. In particular, in the offer function, the user needs to compare the offer and the original character and select the original character to be offered or released. As a result, according to the offer function, it is possible to provide the user with an interest in comparing the offer and the original character and selecting the original character to be offered or released.

  [3. Functional Block] Functional blocks related to the offer function will be described. FIG. 18 is a functional block diagram showing functional blocks related to the offer function among the functional blocks realized by the game system 1.

  [3-1] As shown in FIG. 18, the game system 1 includes a data storage unit 100. For example, the data storage unit 100 is realized by at least one of the database DB, the storage unit 12, and the storage unit 32. The data storage unit 100 stores data necessary for providing a game.

  Here, as a specific example of data stored in the data storage unit 100, data necessary for providing the above-described baseball game will be described. As shown in FIG. 18, the data storage unit 100 includes an offer master table TBL101, an acquisition candidate item master table TBL102, a negotiation result table TBL103, an acquisition item table TBL104, a message table TBL105, a user table TBL106, an event character table TBL107, an original character A table TBL108 and an offer table TBL109 are included. Among these, the offer master table TBL101, the acquisition candidate item master table TBL102, the negotiation result table TBL103, the acquisition item table TBL104, and the message table TBL105 have already been described, and thus description thereof is omitted here.

  [3-1-1] FIG. 19 shows an example of the user table TBL106. The user table TBL 106 is data indicating a list of users who play a game in the game system 1. As shown in FIG. 19, the user table TBL 106 includes “user ID”, “user name”, and “game item” fields.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for uniquely identifying each user. The “user name” field indicates the name of the user. The “game item” field indicates a list of game items owned by the user. The “game item owned by the user” is a game item that can be used arbitrarily by the user. For example, the ID of the game item owned by the user is registered in the “game item” field.

  [3-1-2] FIG. 20 shows an example of the event character table TBL107. The event character table TBL107 is stored for each user (stored in association with each user ID). The event character table TBL107 shows a list of event characters owned by the user. The “event character owned by the user” is an event character that can be used arbitrarily by the user. The event character table TBL107 includes fields described below.

  The “ID” field indicates identification information for specifying an event character owned by the user. The “name” field indicates the name of the event character. The “rareity” field indicates the rarity of the event character. The “appropriate position” field indicates a baseball position that the event character is good at. The “good practice” field indicates practice items that the event character is good at. The “level” field indicates the level of the event character.

  The “ability parameter” fold indicates the ability parameter of the event character. For example, when a game event occurs in the training phase, an event character incorporated in the event deck participates in the game as a teammate of the main character. In such a game event, the ability parameter of the event character is referred to.

  The “event effect” field indicates an event effect associated with the event character. For example, the “event effect” field indicates information regarding an effect that can occur in the breeding phase when the event character is incorporated in the event deck. Information indicating the name or content of an event or bonus that may occur in the breeding phase when the event character is incorporated in the event deck is registered in the “event effect” field.

  [3-1-3] FIG. 21 shows an example of the original character table TBL108. The original character table TBL108 is stored for each user (stored in association with each user ID). The original character table TBL108 shows a list of original characters owned by the user. The “original character owned by the user” is an original character that can be used arbitrarily by the user. The original character table TBL108 includes fields described below.

  The “ID” field indicates identification information for specifying the original character owned by the user. The “name” field indicates the name of the original character. The “appropriate position” field indicates a baseball position that the original character is good at. The “dominant arm” field indicates the dominant arm of the original character. The “form” field indicates the batting form or throwing form of the original character. When the original character is a fielder, the batting form is registered in the “form” field, and when the original character is a pitcher, the pitching form is registered in the “form” field.

  The “total ability” field indicates the total ability of the original character. The “ability parameter” field indicates the ability parameter of the original character. “Ability parameters” are basic ability parameters (ballistic, meat, power, running ability, shoulder strength, defense ability, ball catching parameters) that indicate the basic abilities of the original character, and special ability parameters that indicate the presence or absence of each special ability of the original character. Registered in the field.

  The “event character” field indicates an event character used when the original character is trained. For example, the ID of the event character set in the event deck when the original character was raised is registered in the “event character” field.

  [3-1-4] FIG. 22 shows an example of the offer table TBL109. The offer table TBL 109 is stored for each user (stored in association with each user ID). The offer table TBL 109 shows a list of offers currently made to the user. The offer table TBL 109 includes fields described below.

  The “difficulty level” field indicates the difficulty level of the offer. The “offer” field indicates an offer made to the user. The “acquisition candidate item” field indicates a D-class, C-class, B-class, A-class, or S-class game item selected as an acquisition candidate item. The “status flag” field indicates the status of the offer. For example, the value “0”, “1”, or “2” is registered in the “status flag” field. A value “0” indicates an unnegotiated state, a value “1” indicates that a negotiation is in progress, and a value “2” indicates that a negotiation is established.

  The “released original character” field indicates an original character released by the user in response to the offer. The “negotiation result” field indicates the negotiation result. For example, the value “0”, “1”, or “2” is registered in the “negotiation result” field. The value “0” indicates that the negotiation result is “failure”, the value “1” indicates that the negotiation result is “success”, and the value “2” indicates that the negotiation result is “very successful”. Show. The “acquired item” field indicates a game item that the user acquires in exchange for the original character. The “negotiation scheduled date and time” field indicates the scheduled date and time when the negotiation time elapses.

  [3-2] As shown in FIG. 18, the game system 1 includes a display control unit 110, a condition information selection receiving unit 120, an object selection receiving unit 130, and an associating unit 140. For example, these are realized by the control unit 31 of the server 30. All or a part of these may be realized by the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10.

  [3-2-1] The display control unit 110 performs control for displaying various information on the display unit 15. For example, the display control unit 110 performs control for causing the display unit 15 to display condition information indicating a condition that the first object should satisfy in order to replace the first object associated with the user identification information with the second object. Do. For example, the display control unit 110 performs control for causing the display unit 15 to display a combination of the condition information and the second object associated with the condition information.

  The condition information selection receiving unit 120 receives selection of condition information. The condition information selection receiving unit 120 receives selection of condition information displayed on the display unit 15.

  The object selection receiving unit 130 receives the selection of the first object associated with the user identification information. The associating unit 140 replaces the selected condition information with the selected first object based on the determination result of whether or not the selected first object satisfies the condition indicated by the selected condition information. Associate the associated second object with the user identification information.

  Here, “display various information on the display unit 15” means, for example, by generating data necessary for displaying an image indicating various information and transmitting the data to the game terminal 10. An image is displayed on the display unit 15. The “data necessary for displaying an image” may be data indicating the image itself or data necessary for generating an image. Further, “displaying various information on the display unit 15” may mean, for example, generating an image indicating various information and displaying the image on the display unit 15.

  “User identification information” is information for uniquely identifying a user. In other words, “user identification information” is information for identifying a user. For example, the user ID corresponds to an example of “user identification information”. A user name, a user account, or an e-mail address can also correspond to an example of “user identification information”.

  An “object” is an object that can be used by a user. The “object” may be an object (game object) that can be used in a game, or an object (object other than a game object) that can be used outside a game. For example, a game character or a game item corresponds to an example of “game object”. The game character or game item may be displayed on the game screen in the form of a game card. Further, for example, a plurality of parameters are set for the game object.

  The “first object associated with the user identification information” is an object stored in association with the user identification information. In other words, it is an object owned by the user identified by the user identification information. In other words, the object is in a state that can be used by the user identified by the user identification information.

  For example, a game object generated based on the user's game play identified by the user identification information corresponds to an example of “first object associated with user identification information”. Here, the “game object generated based on the user's game play identified by the user identification information” is a game object generated as a result of the user playing the game. In other words, the game object has parameters set based on the game play by the user. That is, it is a game object in which the parameters are updated from the initial state and the parameters are determined based on the game play by the user. For example, a game object generated by a user, a game character nurtured by a user, or a game item strengthened by a user is an example of “a game object generated based on a user's game play identified by user identification information” It corresponds to.

  The “second object” is an object different from the first object. For example, the “second object” is a different type of object from the first object.

  The “object of a different type from the first object” is an object used for a purpose different from that of the first object. In other words, it is an object in which parameters of items different from the plurality of parameter items set in the first object are set. In other words, the upper limit number that the user can own is an object managed separately from the first object. That is, even if the number of first objects owned by the user has reached the upper limit, the user adds the second object as long as the number of second objects owned by the user has not reached the upper limit. Can be earned. For example, when the first object is a game character, the second object is a game item.

  “Replacing the first object with the second object” refers to associating the second game object with the user identification information in exchange for releasing the association between the first game object and the user identification information. “Replace the first object with the second object” means “exchange the first object with the second object”, “replace the first object with the second object”, or “replace the first object with the second object”. Or the like.

  The “condition information” is information indicating one or more conditions that the first object should satisfy in order to exchange the first object for the second object.

  For example, the condition regarding the parameter information of the first object corresponds to an example of “condition”. The “parameter information” is information indicating the performance of an object, for example. Specifically, it is information indicating the magnitude or height of the performance of the object. Or it is the information which shows whether an object has specific performance. The “parameter information” may be information indicating the state of the object, for example. Specifically, it may be information indicating whether the state of the object is good or bad. The “parameter information” may be information indicating the rarity or popularity of the object, for example. The parameter information is not limited to numerical information, and may be information other than numerical information.

  Specifically, the condition that the value of the predetermined performance parameter of the first object is greater than or equal to a threshold value (or less) corresponds to an example of “condition”. Further, the condition that the first object has a predetermined special performance corresponds to an example of “condition”. If the first object is a “game object generated based on the user's game play”, the game object (game character, game item, or the like) used when generating the first object is indicated. The information also corresponds to an example of “parameter information”, and a condition that a specific game object (game character, game item, or the like) is used when generating the first object corresponds to an example of “condition”. Note that the “plurality of conditions” when the condition information indicates a plurality of conditions is, for example, a plurality of conditions relating to different items. For example, “a plurality of conditions” are a plurality of conditions regarding different parameter information (in other words, a plurality of conditions regarding different parameter items).

  “Accepting selection of condition information” means receiving data indicating that the condition information has been selected. That is, receiving data indicating that at least one condition information among a plurality of condition information is selected. Note that “accepting selection of condition information” may be an operation of selecting condition information. That is, an operation for selecting at least one condition information among a plurality of condition information may be accepted.

  “Accepting the selection of the first object” means receiving data indicating that the first object has been selected. That is, receiving data indicating that at least one first object of the plurality of first objects associated with the user identification information has been selected. Note that “accepting selection of the first object” may mean accepting an operation of selecting the first object. That is, an operation for selecting at least one first object among a plurality of first objects associated with the user identification information may be accepted.

  The “second object associated with the condition information” is a second object stored in association with the condition information.

  “Associating the second object associated with the condition information with the user identification information” means storing the second object associated with the condition information in association with the user identification information. In other words, the second object associated with the condition information is given to the user identified by the user identification information. In other words, the second game object associated with the condition information is added to the second object owned by the user identified by the user identification information. In other words, the user identified by the user identification information is in a state where the second object associated with the condition information can be used in the game.

  “In exchange for the selected first object and associating the second object with the user identification information” means that after the association between the selected first object and the user identification information is canceled, the second object is identified with the user. It is to associate with information. Alternatively, after associating the second object with the user identification information, the association between the selected first object and the user identification information may be released. Alternatively, the association between the selected first object and the user identification information may be canceled and the second object may be associated with the user identification information. In short, the cancellation of the association between the selected first object and the user identification information and the association between the second object and the user identification information may be executed at different times or may not be executed simultaneously. Note that “releasing the association between the selected first object and the user identification information” is to remove the selected first object from the first objects owned by the user.

  “Based on the determination result, in exchange for the first object and associating the second object with the user identification information” means, for example, when the condition is satisfied by the first object, Two objects are associated with user identification information. Alternatively, the second object may be associated with the user identification information in exchange for the first object in accordance with the level at which the condition is satisfied by the first object. Note that the association between the first object and the user identification information is canceled before the determination is performed, and the second object is associated with the user identification information based on the determination result after the determination is performed. Good.

  In the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, for example, the offer corresponds to an example of “condition information”, the original character owned by the user corresponds to an example of “first object”, and the game item is “second object”. It corresponds to an example.

  In the above-described baseball game, the display control unit 110 performs control for causing the display unit 15 to display the offer list image G130. The condition information selection accepting unit 120 accepts selection of any of the offers displayed on the offer list image G130. The object selection accepting unit 130 accepts selection of a discharge target from among the original characters owned by the user. The associating unit 140 determines whether or not the original character to be released satisfies the condition requested in the offer, and in exchange for the original character to be released, among the acquisition candidate items set in the offer At least one of the above is given to the user.

  [3-2-2] For example, the condition information selection receiving unit 120 receives selection of condition information from among a plurality of condition information. The plurality of condition information includes first condition information and second condition information indicating a condition that is more difficult than the first condition information. The second condition information is associated with a second object having a higher value than the second object associated with the first condition information.

  Here, the “difficulty level” is the difficulty in satisfying the condition by the first game object. The higher the difficulty level, the more difficult the condition is satisfied by the first game object, and the lower the difficulty level, the easier the condition is satisfied by the first game object.

  The “second object having a higher value than the second object associated with the first condition information” is a second object having higher utility in the game than the second object associated with the first condition information. For example, the second object is higher in performance or rarity than the second object associated with the first condition information.

  In the baseball game described above, for example, a plurality of offers displayed on the offer list image G130 corresponds to an example of “a plurality of condition information”, and an offer with a difficulty level “n” (n: 1 to 3) The “one condition information” corresponds to an example, and the offer with the difficulty level “n + 1” corresponds to an example of “second condition information”. In the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, for example, an offer with a difficulty level “3” has a higher value than the acquisition candidate item (B-class to D-class game item) set for the offer with a difficulty level “2”. The item is set as an acquisition candidate item.

  [3-2-3] When a plurality of second objects are associated with the selected condition information, the associating unit 140 determines whether the condition indicated by the condition information is satisfied by the selected first object. The second object associated with the user identification information may be selected from the plurality of second objects.

  Here, “selecting the second object to be associated with the user identification information from among the plurality of second objects based on the degree to which the condition is satisfied by the selected first object” means, for example, the selected first object The second object associated with the user identification information in exchange for one object is changed based on the degree to which the condition is satisfied by the first object. Specifically, when the above level is high, the value (performance or rarity level, etc.) of the second object associated with the user identification information in exchange for the selected first object is compared to when the above level is low. It is to raise.

  Alternatively, “selecting the second object to be associated with the user identification information from among the plurality of second objects based on the degree that the condition is satisfied by the selected first object” means, for example, the selected first object The number of second objects to be associated with the user identification information in exchange for the object may be changed based on the degree to which the condition is satisfied by the first object. Specifically, when the above level is high, the number of second objects associated with the user identification information can be increased in exchange for the selected first object, compared with the case where the above level is low. Good.

  For example, when the selected condition information indicates a plurality of conditions that the first object should satisfy in order to replace the first object associated with the user identification information with the second object, the associating unit 140 A second object to be associated with user identification information may be selected from the plurality of second objects based on the number of conditions satisfied by the selected first object among the plurality of conditions.

  Here, “selecting the second object to be associated with the user identification information from the plurality of second objects based on the number of conditions satisfied by the selected first object” means, for example, the selected first object The second object associated with the user identification information in exchange for one object is changed based on the number of conditions satisfied by the selected first object. Specifically, when the number is large, the value (performance or rarity, etc.) of the second object associated with the user identification information in exchange for the selected first object is compared with the case where the number is small. It is to raise.

  Or, “selecting the second object to be associated with the user identification information from among the plurality of second objects based on the number of conditions satisfied by the selected first object” is, for example, the selected first The number of second objects associated with the user identification information in exchange for the object may be changed based on the number of conditions satisfied by the selected first object. Specifically, when the number is large, it is possible to increase the number of second objects associated with the user identification information in exchange for the selected first object, compared to when the number is small. Good.

  In the above-mentioned baseball game, for example, in the offer of difficulty “3”, three conditions are set as required player conditions, and A-class to D-class game items are set as acquisition candidate items. . The associating unit 140 selects a game item (game item to be given to the user) to be acquired by the user from among A-class to D-class game items based on the number of conditions satisfied by the original character selected as the release target. (See FIGS. 11 and 12).

  [3-2-4] For example, when the selected first object satisfies the condition indicated by the selected condition information, the associating unit 140 (first associating means) is associated with the selected condition information. The second object is associated with the user identification information in exchange for the selected first object. Further, the associating unit 140 (second associating means) determines that the performance of the selected first object is a predetermined reference even if the selected first object does not satisfy the condition indicated by the selected condition information. In the above case, the second object associated with the selected condition information is associated with the user identification information in exchange for the selected first object.

  In the above-mentioned baseball game, for example, in the offer of difficulty level “3”, three conditions are set as required player conditions, and an A-class game item is set as an eyeball item (FIG. 7, FIG. 7). 8). The associating unit 140 (first associating means) can give the class A game item to the user when the original character selected as the release target satisfies all the above three conditions (see FIGS. 11 and 12). In addition, the associating unit 140 (second associating means) determines that the original character selected as the emission target does not satisfy one of the three conditions (that is, the original character selected as the emission target is Even if only two of the three conditions are satisfied), if the total ability of the original character selected for release is “C” or higher, a class A game item is given to the user. (See FIGS. 11 and 12). Further, the associating unit 140 (second associating means) determines that the original character selected as the emission target does not satisfy two of the three conditions (that is, the original character selected as the emission target is the above-mentioned Even if only one of the three conditions is satisfied), if the total ability of the original character selected for release is “S”, a class A game item can be given to the user (See FIGS. 11 and 12).

  [3-2-5] For example, the association unit 140 selects the second associated with the selected condition information when the waiting time has elapsed after the selection of the condition information and the selection of the first object. The object may be made available for use by the user identified by the user identification information.

  Here, “when the waiting time has elapsed after the selection of the condition information and the selection of the first object, the second object is brought into a state that can be used by the user” means the condition information After the selection of the first object and the selection of the first object, the use of the second object is restricted (prohibited) until the waiting time elapses, and when the waiting time elapses, the restriction is released. And allowing the user to use the second object. Note that “until the second object is not associated with the user identification information until the standby time elapses, the user is restricted (prohibited) from using the second object. “Associating the object with user identification information to allow the user to use the second object” or “Associating the second object with user identification information, but the waiting time has elapsed. Until then, the use of the second object is restricted (prohibited) by the user, and when the standby time has elapsed, the user can use the second object.

  Further, when the standby time has elapsed, the second object may be brought into a state where the user can use it under a predetermined condition. That is, when the user accesses after the standby time has elapsed, the second object may be put into a state where the user can use it. Alternatively, when the user performs a predetermined operation after the standby time has elapsed, the second object may be put into a state where the user can use it. Alternatively, when the standby time has elapsed, the second object may be made available for use by the user without waiting for access from the user or a predetermined operation performed by the user.

  Note that when the standby time has elapsed, the second object may be put into a state where the user can use it unconditionally (immediately).

  [3-3] As shown in FIG. 18, the game system 1 includes a condition information changing unit 150. For example, the condition information changing unit 150 is realized by the control unit 31 of the server 30 (or the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10).

  The condition information changing unit 150 changes the condition information that can be selected by the user in accordance with the arrival of a predetermined change timing. For example, in a mode in which selection of condition information is received from among a plurality of condition information by the condition information selection receiving unit 120, the condition information changing unit 150 receives a plurality of condition information according to the arrival of a predetermined change timing. Change at least one of them.

  Here, “changing at least one of the plurality of condition information” means changing all or part of the plurality of condition information to other condition information. That is, all or part of the plurality of condition information is replaced with condition information different from the condition information before the change.

  The “predetermined change timing” is a timing at which the condition information should be changed. For example, it is a timing at which at least one of the plurality of condition information should be changed. Specifically, for example, a predetermined time (such as midnight) is set as the “change timing”. Further, for example, a predetermined date and time (such as midnight every Sunday or midnight on the 10th of every month) is set as the “change timing”. Further, for example, the timing for every predetermined time (for example, 12 hours) is set as the “change timing”. In addition, for example, when a user parameter (level or status or the like) is updated or after the update, when the user's play performance (play time or play result or the like) reaches or exceeds a predetermined standard, The timing when a specific object (for example, a high-value game item or game character) is obtained or after is also set as the “change timing”.

  “Change at least one of the plurality of condition information in response to the arrival of a predetermined change timing” means changing at least one of the plurality of condition information when the change timing has arrived. It is. For example, in the case where a predetermined time (such as midnight) or a predetermined date and time (every Sunday at midnight or 0:00 of every month, etc.) is set as the change timing, the predetermined time or the predetermined date is reached. Then, changing at least one of the plurality of condition information corresponds to an example of “changing at least one of the plurality of condition information in response to arrival of a predetermined change timing”. In addition, for example, in the case where the timing for each predetermined time (for example, 12 hours) is set as the change timing, changing at least one of the plurality of condition information for each predetermined time is “ This corresponds to an example of “changing at least one of a plurality of pieces of condition information in accordance with arrival of a predetermined change timing”.

  In the baseball game described above, an offer for each user (an offer displayed on the offer list image G130) corresponds to an example of “condition information selectable by the user”. For example, the condition information changing unit 150 changes the offer for each user at a predetermined time (such as midnight) every day.

  [3-4] As shown in FIG. 18, the game system 1 includes a possibility information acquisition unit 160. For example, the possibility information acquisition unit 160 is realized by the control unit 31 of the server 30 (or the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10).

  Based on the condition information and the first object, the possibility information acquisition unit 160 acquires possibility information regarding the possibility that the second object associated with the condition information is associated with the user identification information by the association unit 140. The display control unit 110 performs control for displaying the possibility information on the display unit 15 before the selection of the condition information is received or before the selection of the first object is received.

  Here, the “possibility information” is information indicating, for example, whether the second object is highly likely to be associated with the user identification information in exchange for the first object. Alternatively, the “possibility information” is information indicating whether or not it is unlikely that the second object is associated with the user identification information in exchange for the first object. Alternatively, the “possibility information” may be, for example, a numerical value, a character, a symbol, or an image that represents the possibility that the second object is associated with the user identification information in exchange for the first object.

  In the case of the above-mentioned baseball game, the degree of expectation displayed in the area A154 of the original character list image G150 and the element P161 (message) displayed in the confirmation image G160 suggest that the user can acquire the eyeball item. These correspond to an example of “possibility information”.

  [3-5] As shown in FIG. 18, the game system 1 includes a standby time setting unit 170. For example, the standby time setting unit 170 is realized by the control unit 31 of the server 30 (or the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10).

  The standby time setting unit 170 sets the length of the standby time based on the difficulty level of the condition indicated by the selected condition information.

  Here, “setting the length of the standby time based on the difficulty level” means changing the length of the standby time based on the difficulty level. For example, when the difficulty level is high, the waiting time is set longer than when the difficulty level is low. Note that when the difficulty level is high, the waiting time may be shortened as compared with the case where the difficulty level is low.

  In the above-described baseball game, the offer corresponds to an example of “condition information”. The standby time setting unit 170 changes the standby time based on the difficulty level of the offer selected by the user (see FIG. 7).

  [4. Processing] Next, processing executed in the game system 1 will be described.

  [4-1] FIG. 23 shows an example of processing for setting an offer for each user. For example, the process shown in FIG. 23 is executed for each user at a predetermined time (such as midnight) every day. The condition information changing unit 150 is realized by executing the process shown in FIG. 23 according to the program. In the following description, it is assumed that the process shown in FIG. 23 is executed for the user U1.

  As shown in FIG. 23, first, the control unit 31 of the server 30 initializes the variable i to “1” (S300), and the state of the offer of difficulty “i” currently made to the user U1 is “not yet”. It is determined whether it is “negotiation” (S302). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the offer table TBL109 of the user U1 and determines whether or not the status flag of the offer with the difficulty level “i” is “0”.

  When the state is “unnegotiated”, the control unit 31 selects one of the offers of difficulty “i” as a new offer for the user U1 (S304). For example, the control unit 31 randomly selects one of offers with difficulty “i” registered in the offer master table TBL101 based on a random number.

  After executing step S304, the control unit 31 selects an acquisition candidate item for the offer selected in step S304 (S306). For example, when the difficulty level of the offer selected in step S304 is “1”, it is necessary to set one D-class game item and one C-class game item as acquisition candidate items (see FIG. 7). ), The control unit 31 refers to the acquisition candidate item master table TBL102, and randomly selects one D-class game item and one C-class game item based on random numbers.

  After executing step S306, the control unit 31 replaces the offer of difficulty “i” for the user U1 with the offer selected in step S304 (S308). For example, the control unit 31 accesses the offer table TBL109 of the user U1, and changes the “offer” field of the record of difficulty “i” to the offer ID selected in step S304. In this case, the ID of the game item selected in step S306 is set in the “acquisition candidate item” field. Further, the “status flag” is initialized to “0”, and the “original character to be released”, “negotiation result”, “acquired item”, and “negotiation scheduled date / time” fields are also initialized to the NULL status.

  After executing step S308, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the variable i is 4 (S310). Here, since it is assumed that the maximum difficulty level of the offer is “4”, it is determined whether or not the variable i is 4 in step S310, so that the offer of all difficulty levels is determined in step S302. It is determined whether or not the processing of S308 has been completed.

  When it is determined in step S302 that the state is not “unnegotiated”, that is, when the state is “negotiating” or the like, the control unit 31 executes the processes of steps S304 to S308. If not (that is, without replacing the offer of difficulty “i”), the process of step S310 is executed.

  When it is determined in step S310 that the variable i is not 4, the control unit 31 adds 1 to the variable i (S312), and executes step S302. On the other hand, when it is determined that the variable i is 4, the control unit 31 ends this process.

  [4-2] FIG. 24 shows an example of processing executed to display the offer list image G130. The display control unit 110 is realized by executing the processing shown in FIG. 24 according to a program. Below, the case where the offer list image G130 is displayed on the display unit 15 of the game terminal 10 of the user U1 is described.

  As shown in FIG. 24, first, the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 requests the server 30 for a list of offers currently made to the user U1 via the communication unit 13 (S100), and controls the server 30. The unit 31 receives the request via the communication unit 33 (S320). For example, the user ID (U1) of the user U1 is transmitted from the game terminal 10 to the server 30 together with the above request.

  When the request is received, the control unit 31 determines whether or not there is an offer in the “negotiating” state among the offers currently made to the user U1 (S322). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the offer table TBL109 of the user U1 and determines whether there is an offer whose status flag is “1”.

  When there is an offer in the “negotiating” state, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the negotiation end scheduled date and time of the offer has passed (S324). When the negotiation end scheduled date and time has passed, the control unit 31 updates the offer state to the “negotiation completed” state (S326). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the offer table TBL109 of the user U1 and updates the offer status flag to “2”.

  After execution of step S324, the control unit 31 transmits the data of the offer list image G130 to the game terminal 10 via the communication unit 33 (S328). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the offer table TBL109 of the user U1 and obtains a list of offers currently made for the user U1. And the control part 31 produces | generates the data of the offer list image G130 based on the said list, and transmits the said data to the game terminal 10. FIG. The “image data” may be data indicating the image itself or data indicating information necessary for generating an image. The same applies to the following.

  If it is determined in step S322 that there is no offer in the “negotiating” state, or if it is determined in step S324 that the scheduled negotiation end date has not elapsed, the process of step S326 is performed. Is executed without executing step S328.

  The control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 receives the offer list image G130 data through the communication unit 13 (S102). Then, based on the data, the control unit 11 displays the offer list image G130 on the display unit 15 (S104).

  [4-3] FIGS. 25A and 25B are examples of processing executed when any of the elements P131-1 to P131-4 of the offer list image G130 in the state shown in FIG. 6 is selected. Show. The display control unit 110 and the possibility information acquisition unit 160 are realized by executing the processing illustrated in FIGS. 25A and 25B according to a program. In the following description, it is assumed that the user U1 specifies the offer OF301.

  As shown in FIG. 25A, first, the control unit 11 notifies the server 30 of the ID (OF301) of the designated offer OF301 via the communication unit 13 (S110), and the control unit 31 of the server 30 notifies the notification. Received via the communication unit 33 (S330).

  When the notification is received, the control unit 31 transmits the data of the offer information image G140 to the game terminal 10 via the communication unit 33 (S332). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the offer table TBL109 of the user U1 and acquires information of the offer OF301. And the control part 31 produces | generates the data of the offer information image G140 based on the said information, and transmits the said data to the game terminal 10. FIG.

  The control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 receives the offer information image G140 data via the communication unit 13 (S112). And based on the said data, the control part 11 displays the offer information image G140 on the display part 15 (S114).

  While the offer information image G140 is displayed, the control unit 11 monitors whether or not the element P142 is selected by the user, and when the element P142 is selected, the communication unit 13 indicates that the offer has been selected. To the server 30 (S116). In this case, for example, the user ID of the user U1 and the ID of the offer OF301 are transmitted from the game terminal 10 to the server 30 together with the notification.

  The control unit 31 of the server 30 receives the notification via the communication unit 33 (S334), and transmits the data of the original character list image G150 to the game terminal 10 via the communication unit 33 (S336). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the original character table TBL108 of the user U1, and acquires a list of original characters owned by the user U1. Then, the control unit 31 generates data of the original character list image G150 based on the list, and transmits the data to the game terminal 10.

  The control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 receives the data of the original character list image G150 via the communication unit 13 (S118). Based on the data, the control unit 11 displays the original character list image G150 on the display unit 15 (S120).

  Note that in the original character list image G150 at this time, no original character may be designated, or any original character (for example, the first original character) may be designated in advance. .

  While the original character list image G150 is displayed, the control unit 11 monitors whether any element P152 is selected by the user (that is, whether any original character is designated by the user). When any element P152 is selected, as shown in FIG. 25B, the control unit 11 sets the ID of the original character corresponding to the element P152 (that is, the original character specified by the user) to the communication unit 13. The server 30 is notified via (S122). In the following description, it is assumed that the original character OC1 is designated. In this case, the ID (OC1) of the original character OC1 is transmitted from the game terminal 10 to the server 30 together with the user ID of the user U1 and the ID of the offer OF301.

  The control unit 31 of the server 30 receives the notification via the communication unit 33 (S338), and transmits the data of the original character list image G150 to the game terminal 10 via the communication unit 33 (S340).

  In this case, the control unit 31 refers to the original character table TBL108 of the user U1 and acquires information on the original character OC1. In addition, the control unit 31 refers to the offer master table TBL101 and reads out the player conditions requested in the offer OF301. Then, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the original character OC1 satisfies the condition. Furthermore, the control unit 31 predicts a negotiation result based on the difficulty level of the offer OF 301, the overall ability of the original character OC1, and the number of conditions satisfied by the original character OC1 (see FIG. 11), and determines the expectation level for the offer OF 301. get. In this case, the display contents of the areas A153 and A154 of the original character list image G150 are set based on the above information, conditions, determination result, and expectation.

  The control unit 11 receives the data of the original character list image G150 via the communication unit 13 (S124). Based on the data, the control unit 11 updates the original character list image G150 displayed on the display unit 15 (S126).

  While the original character list image G150 is displayed, the control unit 11 also monitors whether or not the element P155 has been selected by the user. When the element P155 is selected by the user, the original character in the designated state is selected as the discharge target, and the control unit 11 notifies that the original character to be discharged is selected (S128). ). In the following description, it is assumed that the original character OC1 is selected as a release target. In this case, the ID of the original character OC1 is transmitted from the game terminal 10 to the server 30 together with the user ID of the user U1 and the ID of the offer OF301.

  The control unit 31 receives the notification (S342), and transmits the data of the confirmation image G160 to the game terminal 10 via the communication unit 33 (S344). For example, since the degree of difficulty of the offer OF301 is “3”, the control unit 31 refers to the message table TBL105 corresponding to the degree of difficulty “3”, and is satisfied by the degree of expectation for the offer OF301 and the original character OC1. The message corresponding to the combination with the number of is read. Then, the control unit 31 generates data of the confirmation image G160 in which the read message is displayed as the element P161, and transmits the data to the game terminal 10.

  The control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 receives the data of the confirmation image G160 via the communication unit 13 (S130). And based on the said data, the control part 11 displays the confirmation image G160 on the display part 15 (S132).

  [4-4] FIG. 26 shows an example of processing executed when the element P162 of the confirmation image G160 is selected. The condition information selection receiving unit 120, the object selection receiving unit 130, and the standby time setting unit 170 are realized by executing the process shown in FIG. 26 according to the program. In the following description, it is assumed that the user U1 has selected to release the original character OC1 to the offer OF301.

  As shown in FIG. 26, first, the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 transmits a release request to the server 30 via the communication unit 13 (S140), and the control unit 31 of the server 30 sends the request via the communication unit 33. (S350). The release request indicates that the offer OF 301 has been selected to release the original character OC1. In this case, the ID of the offer OF301 and the ID of the original character OC1 are transmitted from the game terminal 10 to the server 30 together with the user ID of the user U1, and the selection of the offer and the selection of the original character to be released are accepted formally.

  When the request is received, the control unit 31 accesses the original character table TBL108 of the user U1, and removes the original character OC1 to be released from the original characters owned by the user (S352).

  After executing step S352, the control unit 31 determines a negotiation result (great success, success, or failure) (S354). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the original character table TBL108 of the user U1 and acquires information on the original character OC1. In addition, the control unit 31 refers to the offer master table TBL101 and reads out the player conditions requested in the offer OF301. Then, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the original character OC1 satisfies the condition. Furthermore, the control unit 31 determines a negotiation result based on the difficulty level of the offer OF301, the total ability of the original character OC1, and the number of conditions satisfied by the original character OC1 (see FIG. 11). Further, the control unit 31 accesses the offer table TBL109 of the user U1 and registers the determined negotiation result in the “negotiation result” field.

  After execution of step S354, the control unit 31 determines an acquisition item (game item to be acquired by the user: in other words, a game item to be provided to the user) (S356). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the offer table TBL109 of the user U1 and identifies acquisition candidate items set in the offer OF301. Then, the control unit 31 determines an acquisition item from among the acquisition candidate items set in the offer OF 301 based on the total ability of the original character OC1 and the number of conditions satisfied by the original character OC1 (FIG. 12). reference). Further, the control unit 31 accesses the offer table TBL109 of the user U1 and registers the determined acquired item in the “acquired item” field.

  After executing step S356, the control unit 31 sets a negotiation time (S358). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the offer master table TBL101 and reads the negotiation time of the offer OF301. Then, the control unit 31 accesses the offer table TBL109 of the user U1, and registers the date / time when the negotiation time has elapsed from the current date / time in the “negotiation scheduled date / time” field. Further, the control unit 31 updates the value of the “status flag” field to “1”.

  After execution of step S358, the control unit 31 transmits the data of the offer list image G130 to the game terminal 10 via the communication unit 33 (S360), and the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 transmits the data via the communication unit 13. Receive (S142). Then, based on the data, the control unit 11 displays the offer list image G130 on the display unit 15 (S144). In this case, for example, an offer list image G130 as shown in FIG. 15 is displayed.

  FIG. 27 shows a process executed when the element P131-3 of the offer list image G130 in the state shown in FIG. 16 is selected (that is, when an offer in the “negotiation is established” state is specified). An example is shown. The association unit 140 is realized by executing the processing shown in FIG. 27 according to the program. In the following description, it is assumed that the offer OF 301 in the state of “negotiation is established” is designated by the user U1.

  As shown in FIG. 27, first, the control unit 11 notifies the server 30 of the ID of the designated offer OF 301 via the communication unit 13 (S150), and the control unit 31 of the server 30 sends the notification to the communication unit 33. (S370).

  When the notification is received, the control unit 31 gives the user an acquired item in the offer OF301 (S372). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the “acquired item” field of the offer table TBL 109 of the user U1 and identifies the acquired item in the offer OF301. Then, the control unit 31 accesses the user table TBL106, and adds the acquired item ID to the “game item” field of the user U1, thereby giving the acquired item to the user.

  After execution of step S372, the control unit 31 transmits data of the negotiation establishment image G170 to the game terminal 10 via the communication unit 33 (S374). For example, the control unit 31 refers to the offer table TBL109 of the user U1 and acquires information of the offer OF301. Then, the control unit 31 generates data of the negotiation establishment image G170 based on the information, and transmits the data to the game terminal 10.

  The control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 receives the data of the negotiation establishment image G170 via the communication unit 13 (S152). Based on the data, the control unit 11 displays the negotiation establishment image G170 on the display unit 15 (S154).

  In addition, after execution of step S374, the control unit 31 replaces the offer OF301 with a new offer (S376). For example, the control unit 31 accesses the offer master table TBL101 and selects one of the offers having the same difficulty level as the offer OF301 as a new offer for the user U1. Moreover, the control part 31 selects the acquisition candidate item of the selected offer. Then, the control unit 31 replaces the offer OF301 in the offer for the user U1 with the selected new offer. These processes are the same as steps S304 to S308 in FIG.

  While the negotiation completion image G170 is displayed, the control unit 11 monitors whether or not the element P171 is selected by the user. When the element P171 is selected by the user, the control unit 11 requests the server 30 for a list of offers currently made to the user U1 via the communication unit 13 (S156), and the control unit 31 of the server 30 The request is received via the communication unit 33 (S378). For example, the user ID of the user U1 is transmitted from the game terminal 10 to the server 30 together with the above request.

  When the request is received, the control unit 31 transmits the data of the offer list image G130 to the game terminal 10 via the communication unit 33 (S380), and the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 transmits the data of the offer list image G130. Received via the communication unit 13 (S158). Based on the data, the control unit 11 displays the offer list image G130 on the display unit 15 (S160).

  [5. Summary] The game system 1 has the above offer function. According to the offer function, the user can acquire a game item in exchange for an arbitrary original character. For example, the user can acquire a game item in exchange for an original character that has been used less frequently. In particular, in the offer function, the user needs to compare the offer and the original character and select the original character to be offered or released. As a result, according to the offer function, it is possible to provide the user with an interest in comparing the offer and the original character and selecting the original character to be offered or released.

  In the offer function, based on the degree to which the original character to be released satisfies the conditions of the offer (the number of conditions that the original character satisfies), the user can select from a plurality of acquisition candidate items set in the offer. A game item to be given to is selected. For this reason, the user needs to select the original character to be offered or released in consideration of the degree to which the original character satisfies the conditions in the offer (the number of conditions that the original character satisfies). As a result, it is possible to provide the user with the interest of selecting the original character to be offered or released in consideration of the degree to which the original character satisfies the offer condition (the number of conditions that the original character is satisfied).

  In the offer function, even if the original character to be released does not satisfy the offer condition, the main item of the offer can be given to the user if the total ability of the original character is high. For this reason, the user needs to select not only the original character and the offer condition but also the original character to be offered or released in consideration of the overall ability of the original character. As a result, it is possible to provide the user with the interest of selecting the original character to be offered or released in consideration of not only the original character and the offer condition but also the overall ability of the original character.

  Further, in the offer function, before the selection of the offer and the selection of the original character to be released are officially accepted, the expectation level (area A154 of the original character list image G150) and message ( Since the element P161) of the confirmation image G160 is displayed, the user can select an offer or an original character to be released in consideration of the above possibility.

  Further, in the offer function, when the selection of the offer and the selection of the original character to be released are accepted, when the waiting time has elapsed, at least one of the plurality of acquisition candidate items set in the offer is selected by the user. Is ready for use. As a result, a series of procedures from the selection of the offer or the original character to be released until the user becomes able to use the game item is not concentrated at one time. For this reason, it becomes possible to distribute the access from a user, and as a result, the processing load of the game system 1 can be reduced.

  Furthermore, according to the offer function, it is possible to prompt the user to play the game again after the standby time elapses by setting the standby time, and to increase the frequency of the user playing the game. Become. In the offer function, the length of the waiting time is set according to the difficulty level of the offer selected by the user, so the offer and the original character to be released are selected in consideration of the difficulty level of the offer and the waiting time. Interest can be provided to users.

  In the offer function, the combination of the offer and the acquisition candidate item set in the offer is displayed in the offer list image G130 and the offer information image G140, so that the user can compare the original character, the offer, and the acquisition candidate item. Then, an original character to be offered or released can be selected. For this reason, it is possible to provide the user with an interest in comparing the original character, the offer, and the acquisition candidate item and selecting the original character to be offered or released.

  In addition, the offer function accepts an offer selection from a plurality of offers with different difficulty levels, and sets a game item having a higher value than the feature item of the offer with a low difficulty level as the feature item of the offer with a high difficulty level. The For this reason, it is difficult to select an offer that can acquire a high-value eyeball item, or the value of the eyeball item that can be acquired is low, but an offer that is low in difficulty and easy to acquire the eyeball item. The user can be provided with an interest in deciding whether to make a selection.

  Further, in the offer function, the offer that can be selected by the user is changed according to the arrival of a predetermined change timing, so that the offer that can be selected by the user can be changed, and as a result, the interest can be improved.

For example, the user may obtain an event character in exchange for the original character. That is, an acquisition candidate event character may be set in the offer instead of the acquisition candidate item or together with the acquisition candidate item. For example, similarly to the acquisition candidate item, an S class event character, an A class event character, a B class event character, a C class event character, or a D class event character may be set as the acquisition candidate event character.

  Alternatively, the user may be able to acquire an object other than the game object. That is, the user may obtain an object that can be used for services other than games in exchange for the original character. In short, the “first object” may be a game object, and the “second object” may be an object other than the game object. For example, an image (stamp) that can be used in a social network service in exchange for an original character by a user corresponds to an example of “an object other than a game object”.

  [6-2] In the embodiment described above, when the user releases the original character, the game item can be obtained in exchange for the original character. However, the game object other than the original character can be obtained by the user. May be released. For example, the user may be able to acquire a game item in exchange for an event character. Further, for example, the user may be able to acquire an event character in exchange for a game item.

  [6-3] As conditions for the players required in the offer, conditions relating to the actual use of the original character (such as the number of uses, batting results or pitcher results) in the competition part may be set. In short, the condition that the usage record of the first object (the number of times of use or the results obtained when used) satisfies a predetermined standard can also correspond to an example of “condition”.

  [6-4] In the embodiment described above, the original character to be released is selected after the offer is selected. However, the offer is selected after the original character to be released is selected. May be.

  [6-5] The breeding part and the battle part may be realized as separate games (that is, a game executed by a separately provided game program).

  [6-6] The example in which the present invention is applied to a game based on baseball has been mainly described above, but the present invention can also be applied to other games.
