<Outline of the game>
Here, an outline of the game in the present embodiment will be described. The game in this embodiment includes a battle game and a lottery game.

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

  In this battle game, a plurality of quests aimed at defeating enemy characters are set according to the difficulty level. The user can form a party using the characters he possesses, select one of the quests, and challenge the enemy character.

  And at the time of a battle play, the battle point matched with the selected quest is consumed from the battle point which a user possesses. However, when there are not enough battle points, it is not possible to play a battle in that quest. In that case, it is necessary for the user to recover his / her own battle points over time or by using recovery items.

  In the lottery game in the present embodiment, when a character lottery execution operation is received from the user, one of the characters selected from the lottery targets is selected based on the lottery probability of each character, and the selected character is selected. Is a game that grants to a user.

  In this lottery game, a plurality of types of lottery games can be played, and necessary points are set for each type. In this embodiment, lottery games with different levels can be played as a plurality of types of lottery games. The higher the level of the lottery game, the higher the required points, and the higher the rarity character is set to be included in the lottery target.

  In this lottery game, the user can select a lottery game at a desired level, and even if the user does not have the necessary points set in the lottery game at the selected level, the lottery at the desired level is selected. You can play the game. Note that the number of times that the lottery game can be played before the end of the play deadline is limited to one. The character determined by the lottery at that level is a character that is first presented to the user and not yet given to the user.

  Therefore, if the user wants to acquire this pre-presented character, the lottery points are acquired by satisfying various points acquisition conditions until the end of the play period, and the lottery game of the desired level is obtained. You must accumulate lottery points until you reach the set required points.

  There are two types of point acquisition conditions: “first login within a day” and “quest clear”. In the former case, the lottery points that can be acquired when the condition is satisfied is 100 points. In the latter case, the lottery points that can be acquired when the condition is satisfied is the same amount as the battle points consumed at the start of the quest. Also, since there is an upper limit on the amount of points that can be earned per day (for example, a maximum of 300 points per day), in order to accumulate points until the user reaches the necessary points, the point acquisition condition is repeated until the play deadline ends. Must be established.

  And if the user can save the lottery points until the required point is reached before the end of the play deadline, by actually consuming all the lottery points that have been accumulated, the character presented in advance is actually acquired. be able to. On the other hand, if the user cannot accumulate the lottery points until the user reaches the required points before the end of the play deadline, the previously presented character cannot be acquired.

  In this way, if the character determined in advance lottery is presented to the user without giving it, and the presented character does not match the character desired by the user, the user takes time and effort. This eliminates the need to collect lottery points and acquire characters, thereby reducing user disappointment. In addition, if the presented character matches the character desired by the user, the user will actively accumulate lottery points in order to acquire the presented character, thereby increasing motivation to play the lottery game. It becomes possible.

The character ID is information for uniquely identifying various characters. The name is information indicating a character name. The lottery probability is information indicating the probability that the character will be drawn in the lottery game. Here, a lottery probability is set lower for a character having a higher degree of rarity. Rareness is information indicating the rarity (rare value) of a character. Here, any one of the rarities of a plurality of classes is initially set. In the present embodiment, five levels of rarity “1” to “5” can be set. The ability parameter is information indicating the ability of the character. Here, ability values such as attack, defense, and HP are initially set.

  Returning to FIG. 5, when the lottery unit 203 of the server device 20 determines that the user has already played the lottery game by the present time (step S <b> 12: YES), the process ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the user has not yet played the lottery game by the present time (step S12: NO), the process of the next step S13 is performed.

  Next, when the lottery unit 203 of the server device 20 determines that the user has not yet played the lottery game by the present time (that is, when it is determined that it is the first lottery game), the user information With reference to the user information stored in the storage unit 222 and the lottery information stored in the lottery information storage unit 224, until the lottery points acquired and accumulated by the user up to the present time reach the necessary points for the lottery game of each level The remaining points are calculated (step S13).

  FIG. 9 is a configuration diagram illustrating an example of lottery information. The lottery information shown in FIG. 9 has items such as a lottery game ID, type, necessary points, and lottery targets. The lottery game ID is information for uniquely identifying the lottery game. The type is information indicating a level as an example of the type of the lottery game. Here, five types of lottery games from “level 1” to “level 5” are set. The necessary point is information indicating the number of lottery points necessary for acquiring the lottery object determined by the lottery. Here, it is set so that the quantity of necessary points increases as the level increases. The lottery target is information indicating the character ID of the character to be the lottery target. Here, as the level becomes higher, a lot of characters with high rarity are included in the lottery targets.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the lottery unit 203 of the server device 20 continues to display the lottery game screen for causing the user to play the lottery game when the remaining points are calculated for each lottery game of each level. The display control unit 206 is requested to execute screen display control. When requested to execute screen display control from the lottery unit 203, the display control unit 206 of the server device 20 performs control to display the lottery game screen on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10 (step S14).

  FIG. 10 is an image diagram showing an example of a lottery game screen. On the lottery game screen 500, a play time limit display area 501, an acquisition point display area 502, and lottery buttons 503 to 507 for each level are displayed.

  In the play time limit display area 501, the play time limit of the lottery game and the remaining days until the play time limit are displayed. Here, it is displayed that the play time limit of the lottery game is January 31, and that the remaining days are 4 days and 8 hours.

  The acquisition point display area 502 displays lottery points that the user has acquired and accumulated so far. Here, it is displayed that the lottery points acquired and accumulated by the user so far are 1287 points.

  The lottery buttons 503 to 507 for each level are operation buttons for playing a lottery game of each level. Then, the necessary points (see FIG. 9) and the remaining points calculated in the processing of step 13 are displayed in association with the operation buttons of each level. Here, for example, “level 2” will be explained. Since the number of lottery points acquired and accumulated by the user so far is 1287 points, and the necessary points for “level 2” are 1500 points, the remaining points are 213 points. It is displayed in correspondence with the “level 2” lottery button 504. For example, for “level 1”, since the lottery points (1287 points) that the user has acquired and accumulated so far have already reached the necessary points (0 points) of “level 1”, the remaining points are displayed. It is displayed that the character determined by the lottery can be acquired immediately. In addition, in this way, if the lottery points acquired and accumulated by the user so far have reached the required points of any level of the lottery game, the lottery of the level that has not yet reached the required points It is also possible to restrict so that only the game lottery button can be selected.

  As described above, when the lottery game screen 500 is displayed on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10, the user starts the lottery by selecting the lottery buttons 503 to 507 corresponding to the lottery game at any level. A game operation can be performed on the client terminal 10.

  Returning to FIG. 5, when the user's game operation is performed on the lottery game screen 500 in this way, the operation reception unit 150 of the client terminal 10 receives the operation content based on the user's game operation. Then, the request transmission unit 101 of the client terminal 10 sends a lottery start request for starting the lottery game at the level selected by the user to the server device 20 based on the operation content received by the operation receiving unit 150 from the user. Transmit (step S15).

  Next, upon receiving a lottery start request from the client terminal 10, the lottery unit 203 of the server device 20 consumes all the lottery points that have been acquired and accumulated by the user so far, and the lottery at the level selected by the user A character to be presented without being given to the user is determined from among a plurality of characters to be drawn in the game (step S16).

  Specifically, the lottery unit 203 of the server device 20 refers to the lottery information stored in the lottery information storage unit 224 and specifies a plurality of lottery target characters set at the level selected by the user. Then, the lottery unit 203 of the server device 20 gives to the user from among the plurality of characters to be selected based on the character lottery probability set in the character information stored in the character information storage unit 221. Select a character to present without. Thereafter, the lottery unit 203 of the server device 20 updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222, consumes all of the user's lottery points, sets a lottery flag, and selects the lottery game at the selected level. The character determined in is set as the user's presentation character.

  Next, when the character to be presented without being given to the user is determined in this way, the lottery unit 203 of the server device 20 displays a lottery result screen for presenting the lottery result to the user on the client terminal 10. The display control unit 206 is requested to execute screen display control. When requested to execute screen display control from the lottery unit 203, the display control unit 206 of the server device 20 performs control to display the lottery result screen on the screen display unit 160 of the client terminal 10 (step S17).

  FIG. 11 is an image diagram illustrating an example of a lottery result screen. On the lottery result screen 600, a play time limit display area 601, an acquired point display area 602, a character display area 603, and a remaining point display area 604 are displayed.

  In the play time limit display area 601 and the earned point display area 602, the same contents as the lottery game screen 500 shown in FIG. 10 are displayed. In the character display area 603, the character determined by the lottery game at the level selected by the user is presented. Here, when the user selects the “level 4” lottery game, “character G” determined by the lottery at that level is presented. The remaining point display area 604 displays the remaining points that the user should accumulate in order to actually acquire the character displayed in the character display area 603. Here, it is displayed that the remaining lottery points for the user to actually acquire the presented “character G” are 3713 points.

  The user who is presented with the lottery result in this way does not need to spend the time and labor to save the remaining lottery points (3713 points) when he / she does not wish to acquire the presented “character G”. On the other hand, if it is desired to acquire the presented “character G”, the remaining lottery points (3713 points) can be accumulated by repeatedly establishing the point acquisition condition until the play deadline ends. The “character G” is actually given.

《Acquisition of presented character》
FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example related to acquisition of a presentation character of the information processing system 1 in the present embodiment.

  When the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 receives a request for various processes for the battle game from the client terminal 10 used by the user, the game progression unit 201 determines whether or not the user has established a point acquisition condition for acquiring the lottery points. (Step S21).

  Specifically, when the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 receives a login request for a battle game from the client terminal 10, the game progression unit 201 executes a login process for the battle game in accordance with login operation information including a user ID and a password. . That is, the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 performs user authentication with reference to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 based on the user ID accompanying the login request. When the user is normally authenticated, the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 updates the log history information set in the user information and adds the log-in date and time of the battle game. Then, when the log-in process related to the battle game is completed in this way, the game progress unit 201 of the server device 20 refers to the log history information set in the user information and determines whether or not the log-in is the first time of the day. Determine whether. If it is determined that the login is the first time of the day, it is determined that the user has satisfied the point acquisition condition.

  Specifically, when the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 accepts a quest battle request for requesting a battle play in the quest selected by the user from the client terminal 10, the game progress unit 201 consumes the battle points of the user, and the quest information Based on the difficulty set in the quest information stored in the storage unit 223, the battle process is executed in the quest selected by the user. Thereafter, the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 determines whether or not the user has cleared the quest as a result of the battle between each character constituting the user's party and each enemy character appearing in the quest. judge. When it is determined that the user has cleared the quest because all the enemy characters that have appeared in the quest have been defeated by the user's party, it is determined that the user has satisfied the point acquisition condition.

  As a result of this determination, if it is determined that the user has not satisfied the point acquisition condition (step S21: NO), the process proceeds to step S23 described later. On the other hand, if it is determined that the user has established the point acquisition condition (step S21: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S22.

  Next, when it is determined that the user has established the point acquisition condition, the point giving unit 202 of the server device 20 gives a lottery point corresponding to the established point acquisition condition to the user (step S22). .

  Specifically, the point giving unit 202 of the server device 20 sets the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 by giving the user lottery points associated with the established point acquisition conditions. Update lottery points. For example, when the point acquisition condition is established at the first login, 100 points are given to the user as a lottery point. Further, for example, when the point acquisition condition is satisfied by clearing the quest, the same amount of lottery points as the battle points consumed when the quest is selected are given to the user.

  Next, when the lottery points are given to the user in this way, the game progression unit 201 of the server device 20 determines whether or not the play time limit of the lottery game has ended (step S23). In this embodiment, the play time limit is set to one month from the predetermined event start date.

  As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the play time limit of the lottery game has not ended (step S23: NO), the process returns to the above-described step S21, and it is subsequently determined whether or not the point acquisition condition is successful. On the other hand, when it is determined that the play time limit of the lottery game has ended (step S23: YES), the process proceeds to the next step S24.

  Next, the lottery target control unit 205 of the server device 20 determines that the lottery points acquired and stored by the user before the expiration of the play deadline are stored by the user when the play deadline of the lottery game is over. It is determined whether or not the necessary point set in the lottery game of the selected level has been reached (step S24).

  Specifically, the lottery object control unit 205 of the server device 20 acquires the lottery points that the user has acquired and accumulated by the end of the play time limit from the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222, and the lottery information The necessary points of the lottery game at the level selected by the user are acquired from the lottery information stored in the storage unit 224. Then, the lottery object control unit 205 of the server device 20 compares the acquired lottery points acquired by the user with the necessary points of the lottery game at that level, and draws the insufficient lots that have not yet reached the necessary points. Determine whether points remain. If there are not enough lottery points remaining, it is determined that the lottery points accumulated by the user have reached the necessary points for the lottery game at that level.

  Next, the lottery target control unit 205 of the server device 20 has reached the necessary points set in the lottery game at the level selected by the user, as the lottery points acquired and accumulated by the user by the end of the play deadline. (Step S24: YES), the presentation character is given to the user (step S25).

  Specifically, the lottery object control unit 205 of the server device 20 updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and sets the user's presentation character as a possessed character.

  On the other hand, the lottery target control unit 205 of the server device 20 reaches the necessary points set in the lottery game of the level selected by the user by the lottery points acquired and stored by the user by the end of the play deadline. If it is determined that it has not been performed (step S24: NO), the presentation character is not given to the user (step S26).

  Specifically, the lottery object control unit 205 of the server device 20 updates the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and deletes the user's presentation character without setting it as a possessed character.

  In this way, by presenting the character determined in advance lottery without giving it to the user, if the user does not want to acquire the presented character, the user takes time and effort. Since it is not necessary to accumulate the lottery points and acquire the presented character, the user can be discouraged. On the other hand, if the user wishes to acquire the presented character, the user will actively accumulate lottery points in order to acquire the presented character. It becomes possible to raise.

[Other Embodiments]
The above-described embodiments are for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be changed and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and the present invention includes equivalents thereof. In particular, the embodiments described below are also included in the present invention.

<Use of characters by lottery>
In the above-described embodiment, the lottery object control unit 205 presents the character determined by the lottery unit 203 without giving to the user, and then the user reaches the necessary points for the lottery by the end of the play deadline. If the lottery points can be stored until the game is performed, control is performed so that the presented character can be actually acquired, while if the lottery points cannot be stored, control is performed so that the presented character cannot be acquired. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, after the lottery target control unit 205 assigns the character determined by the lottery unit 203 to the user and makes it usable, the lottery point is selected until the user reaches the necessary point for the lottery by the end of the play deadline. If it can be saved, it will be controlled so that the assigned character can continue to be used, but if the lottery points cannot be saved, the assigned character cannot be used by canceling the setting as a possessed character You may control to.

  Further, for example, the lottery target control unit 205 assigns the character determined by the lottery unit 203 through the lottery to the user so that the user can use the lottery point until the user reaches the necessary point for the lottery by the end of the play deadline. If you can save the assigned character, you can continue to use the assigned character, but if you cannot save the lottery points, you can continue to use the assigned character in a weakened state. May be. Here, weakening means changing to a degraded state compared to the state of the character at the time of grant by lowering the level of the assigned character, lowering the rarity, or decreasing the ability value. Means that.

  Note that the lottery target control unit 205 determines that the difference between the required points set in the lottery game of the level (type) selected by the user and the lottery points that the user has acquired and accumulated up to the present day In consideration of the maximum number of lottery points that can be earned and the play deadline, etc., if it is determined that the lottery points cannot be accumulated until the user reaches the required point by the play deadline, the end of the play deadline is awaited. Instead, the assigned character may be controlled so that it cannot be used, or the assigned character may be controlled so that it can continue to be used in a weakened state.

<Lottery timing>
In the above-described embodiment, the lottery game is not started only during the play period in which the user can earn points, but the lottery game is started before the play period and the character is presented to the user in advance. Is possible.

<Notification>
In the above-described embodiment, the user is allowed to select only the level in advance, and the difference between the necessary points set in the lottery game of the selected level and the lottery points that the user has acquired and accumulated so far is When it becomes within a predetermined value (for example, within 1000 points), it is possible to start a lottery game at the selected level and determine a character to be presented without giving to the user by the lottery. That is, the lottery unit 203 presents the lottery points without giving to the user by lottery on the condition that the difference between the lottery points acquired and accumulated by the user and the required points of the lottery game is within a predetermined value. It is also possible to determine the character.

  When the lottery game is set in this way, the notification unit 204 determines that the difference between the necessary points set in the lottery game at the selected level and the lottery points that the user has acquired and accumulated up to the present time is within a predetermined value. (For example, within 1000 points), it is possible to notify the user that the lottery game of the level selected by the user in advance can be played by the notification screen. It is also possible for the user to set the presence or absence of this notification in advance.

<Points awarded>
In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the upper limit of lottery points that can be acquired per day is 300 points per day for each user, but it is also possible to set an upper limit for each user. For example, the lower the rank, the lower the upper limit of the battle points that can be held, and the lower the upper limit of the lottery points that can be acquired per day.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where a lottery points equal to the battle points consumed by selection of the quest are given to the user when the quest is cleared has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is not something. For example, if a user can clear a quest, the same amount (100%) of lottery points as the battle points consumed by that quest selection will be given to the user. The user may be given lottery points that are half the amount of battle points consumed by the quest selection (50%). That is, the point giving unit 202 may vary the number of lottery points to be given to the user depending on whether or not the user has cleared the quest.

<Level selection>
In the above-described embodiment, it may be set so that the user can select only a lottery game at a level where a required point higher than the lottery points acquired and accumulated by the user up to the present time is set.

  Specifically, the lottery unit 203 refers to the user information stored in the user information storage unit 222 and the lottery information stored in the lottery information storage unit 224, and the lottery points acquired and stored by the user up to the present time Identify all the lottery games that have higher required points. Then, the lottery unit 203 determines one of the lottery games from the specified lottery game by the user's selection operation, and becomes a plurality of lottery targets set in the lottery game of the determined level. Present any character selected from the characters without giving it to the user.

  In the above-described embodiment, it is also possible to restrict the user from selecting a lottery game at a level where necessary points that cannot be reached by the play deadline are set.

  Specifically, the lottery unit 203 can acquire one day from the difference between the necessary points set in the lottery game at the level selected by the user and the lottery points that the user has acquired and accumulated so far. Considering the upper limit of the lottery points, the play deadline, etc., all the lottery games at the level where the necessary points that the user's lottery points cannot reach by the play deadline are set are specified. Then, the lottery unit 203 restricts the user from selecting the lottery game at the specified level.

<Content>
In the above embodiment, the character is set in the character information, but the content to be a lottery target is not limited to this. For example, the content may be an item, card, figure, avatar or the like.
