Device, audio output device, etc.) and software.

  Next, the operation of the video game processing system 100 (system 100) of this example will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of game processing executed by the system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the game process in this example, a selection of an owned game medium is received, and a process directly or indirectly related to specifying a basic game medium and a game element corresponding to the owned game medium that has received the selection is performed. Note that the contents of processing not related to the present invention may be omitted. Hereinafter, a case where the server 10 and the user terminal 201 (terminal 201) execute game processing will be described as an example.

  The game process is started, for example, in response to the terminal 201 receiving a video game start request.

  In the game process, first, the terminal 201 receives a battle start request (step S101). In this example, for example, the terminal 201 receives a battle start request when receiving a predetermined battle start operation (for example, a press operation of a battle start button displayed on the display screen of the display device included in the terminal 201). To do.

  When the terminal 201 receives the battle start request, the terminal 201 generates a battle start request and transmits the generated battle start request to the server 10 (step S102). In this example, the terminal 201 transmits a battle start request presenting the player ID to the server 10.

  When the server 10 receives the battle start request, the server 10 specifies the owned game media (step S103). In this example, the server 10 refers to the player information storage unit 11b based on the player ID presented in the process of step S102, and specifies the possessed game medium corresponding to the presented player ID.

  When the owned game medium is specified, the server 10 generates owned game medium selection screen information, and transmits the generated owned game medium selection screen information to the terminal 201 (step S104). In this example, the server 10 generates information for displaying a list of owned game media in a selectable manner, for example, as owned game media selection screen information. In this example, the owned game media selection screen has one purpose to allow the player to select a predetermined number of game media from the owned game media. Therefore, the configuration of the owned game media selection screen is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the player can recognize the owned game media. As an example of the configuration of the owned game media selection screen, there is a configuration in which a part of the owned game media (for example, basic game media) is displayed. In addition, it is preferable that the owned game medium selection screen information includes a game medium information corresponding to the owned game medium in order to specify the selected owned game medium by the game medium ID.

  Upon receiving the owned game content selection screen information, the terminal 201 displays the owned game content selection screen based on the received owned game content selection screen information (step S105). In this example, when the terminal 201 receives the owned game medium selection screen information, the terminal 201 displays the owned game medium selection screen on the display screen of the display device provided in the terminal 201.

  When the terminal 201 displays the owned game medium selection screen, the terminal 201 accepts the selection of the owned game medium and transmits the accepted selection result to the server 10 (step S106). In this example, the terminal 201 accepts selection of a predetermined number (for example, five) of owned game media from among the displayed owned game media, and presents a game media ID corresponding to the owned game media that has accepted the selection. The selection result is transmitted to the server 10.

  When receiving the selection result, the server 10 specifies the basic game medium and the game element (step S107). In this example, the server 10 refers to the game medium information storage unit 11a based on the game medium ID presented in the process of step S106, and obtains the basic game medium and the game element corresponding to the presented game medium ID. Identify.

  When the basic game medium and the game element are specified, the server 10 executes a battle process for realizing a battle with the enemy character in accordance with the operation input of the player (step S200). The battle process will be described later.

  When executing the battle process, the server 10 generates battle result screen information, and transmits the generated battle result screen information to the terminal 201 (step S108). In this example, the server 10 generates information for displaying, for example, a battle result and information (such as items, territories, and bonus points) given to the player as battle result screen information, and the generated battle result. The screen information is transmitted to the terminal 201, and the process here ends.

  When receiving the battle result screen information, the terminal 201 displays the battle result screen based on the received battle result screen information (step S109). In this example, when the terminal 201 receives the battle result screen information, the terminal 201 displays the battle result screen on the display screen of the display device included in the terminal 201.

  When the terminal 201 displays the battle result screen, the terminal 201 determines whether or not to end the game (step S110). In this example, when the terminal 201 receives a predetermined game continuation operation (for example, a press operation of a game continuation button displayed on the battle result screen) and determines that the game is not ended (N in step S110), The process proceeds to step S101.

  On the other hand, when the terminal 201 receives a predetermined game end operation (for example, a press operation of a game end button displayed on the battle result screen, for example) and determines that the game is to end (Y in step S110), The terminal 201 ends the game and ends the process here.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a battle process executed by the system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the battle process in this example, the player character corresponding to the basic game medium specified in the process of step S107 is displayed on the display screen of the display device, and the player character is activated to play a battle (battle). ) Is directly or indirectly related to the process. Note that the contents of processing not related to the present invention may be omitted.

  In the battle process, the server 10 first extracts game elements (step S201). In this example, the server 10 extracts a predetermined number (for example, six) of selectable game elements from the game elements specified in the process of step S107. Note that the extraction of game elements may be configured such that at least one game element is extracted for each basic game medium specified in the process of step S107, or includes a basic game medium from which no game elements are extracted. Also good.

  When the server 10 has extracted a predetermined number of game elements, the server 10 generates game element selection screen information and transmits the generated game element selection screen information to the terminal 201 (step S202). Here, the game element selection screen information means information for displaying game elements in a selectable manner. In this example, the server 10 generates, for example, information for displaying a list of extracted game elements in a selectable manner as game element selection screen information, and transmits the generated game element selection screen information to the terminal 201.

  Upon receiving the game element selection screen information, the terminal 201 displays a game element selection screen based on the received game element selection screen information (step S203). In this example, based on the received game element selection screen information, the terminal 201 displays the received game element selection screen (see FIG. 7) on the display screen of the display device included in the terminal 201.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the game element selection screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, when the video game processing apparatus (for example, the terminal 201) includes the display screen 700, the terminal 201 displays a game element selection screen on the display screen 700 and accepts selection of a game element. It is good.

  In this example, the game element selection screen displays the area (basic game medium display area) 701 for displaying the basic game medium specified in the process of step S107 and the game element extracted in the process of step S201. An area (game element display area) 702 to be played.

  When the terminal 201 displays the game element selection screen, the terminal 201 accepts selection of a game element by the player, and transmits the accepted selection result to the server 10 (step S204). In this example, the terminal 201 receives selection of a predetermined number (for example, three) of game elements from among a plurality (for example, six) of game elements displayed in the game element display area 702 by the player, and receives the selection. A selection result presenting game medium IDs corresponding to a predetermined number of game elements is transmitted to the server 10.

  When the server 10 receives the selection result, the server 10 specifies the effect corresponding to the game element (step S205). In this example, the server 10 refers to the game medium information storage unit 11a based on the game medium ID presented in the process of step S204, and identifies the effect corresponding to the presented game medium ID.

  When the server 10 specifies the effect corresponding to the game element, the server 10 activates the effect (step S206). In this example, when the effect is specified, the server 10 activates the effect corresponding to the game element in the order in which the selection of the game element is received in the process of step S204, for example.

  When the server 10 activates the effect, the server 10 determines whether or not to continue the battle (step S207). In this example, the server 10 determines that the battle is not terminated when a predetermined battle continuation requirement (for example, the HP of all enemy characters or the HP of all basic game media is higher than 0) is satisfied. Then (N of step S207), a battle is continued and it transfers to the process of step S201.

  On the other hand, if the server 10 determines that the battle is not continued by not satisfying the predetermined battle continuation requirement described above (Y in step S207), the server 10 ends the battle and ends the processing here. .

  Next, an outline of an example of a video game that is controlled by the system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  The video game in this example is a so-called country stealing game set in the Chinese (China) continent of the Three Kingdoms era. Further, the video game has a theme of “Battle of Three Kingdoms” and presents “Chinese Unification” to the player as a final goal (also referred to as a game clear condition). Here, “Chinese unification” means that all squares of the Chinese continent (Chinese unified map) divided into a plurality of squares arranged in the virtual space are owned territories that are their own territory. It is. Further, in order to make each square a possession territory, the player must perform a battle with an enemy character in each square and win the battle.

  In the video game, the player performs a turn-based battle with the enemy character using the warrior who was active in the Three Kingdoms as a player character.

  First, the player forms a deck to be used in the battle. In this example, the player forms a deck by selecting five of the owned game media (see the process in step S106). Each owned game medium is configured to be associated with a plurality of game elements. That is, the deck in this example is configured such that each owned game medium includes a plurality of game elements. In this example, a deck having such a configuration is referred to as a “nested deck”.

  Next, the player selects one of the squares that he / she wishes to use as his territory. When the selection of the square is accepted, for example, the terminal 201 displays a game element selection screen as shown in FIG. 7, and starts the battle process (step S200) described above. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIGS.

  In FIG. 7, in the basic game content display area 701, five player characters (general officers) corresponding to the basic game content specified in the process of step S107 are displayed. In addition, in the game element display area 702, each of the six game elements (actions performed by the military commander) extracted in the process of step S201 is displayed as a virtual hand. Here, the virtual hand means a hand used in the virtual space. In addition, it is good also as a structure by which a game element name is displayed on a virtual hand. Further, although not shown, a player character that executes a game element may be displayed on the virtual hand. In the case of such a configuration, the player can play a video game with a tactic such as which warrior performs which action. On the other hand, the player character that executes the game element may not be displayed on the virtual hand (that is, the player does not know which warrior performs which action). In such a configuration, the player can execute the video game with a simple operation by selecting only the game element, and thus can develop a more intuitive and speedy game development. .

  Further, the game element selection screen is provided with an area (enemy character attack display area) 703 for displaying the name of the attack of the enemy character executed in the turn of the enemy character. With such a configuration, the player can select the game element after reading the tactics of the enemy character in advance and developing the strategy related to his turn. The game element selection screen is provided with a region (battle region) 704 for displaying a battle region composed of a plurality of squares. In addition, in each square, an army that each military commander has and an army that an enemy character has are arranged. The player selects each game element from among the six game elements displayed in the game element display area 702 by his / her turn, thereby causing each military commander or each military commander to execute an action, Attack the enemy character by activating the effect.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing another example of the game element selection screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. A predetermined number of game elements displayed in the game element display area 702 shown in FIG. An example in which selection of a game element is accepted is shown. In this example, it is assumed that the game elements that have received the selection are “fire meter”, “assault”, and “disappearance” in the order in which the selection is received by the player operating the terminal 201. As shown in FIG. 8, the display screen 800 may be configured to display a predetermined number of game elements that have been selected in the game element display area 801 in a different color from the game elements that have not been selected. .

  As shown in FIG. 8, the display screen 800 includes a basic game content display area 801, a game element display area 802, an area (Army a display area) 801 a for displaying the military A of the military commander A, and an army of the military B b (region b display region) 801b is provided. The names of the military commanders displayed in the basic game medium display area 801 are military commander A, military commander B, military commander C, military commander D, and military commander E in order from the top. In addition, it is assumed that “Fire meter” is associated with the military commander A, and “Assault” and “Observation” are associated with the military commander B. Note that it is assumed that a plurality of “Ariya” and “Crane wings” are associated with each of the generals C, D, and the like.

  When the server 10 specifies the effect corresponding to the game element in the process of step S206, the server 10 activates the effect corresponding to the game element in the order in which selection of the game element is received in the process of step S204, for example. More specifically, the server 10 first executes a process of “decrease the enemy character's HP by 10”, which is an effect corresponding to the “fire meter” for the military commander A or the military a. Next, a process of “decrease the enemy character's HP by 15”, which is an effect corresponding to “charge”, is performed on the warrior B or the army b. Finally, a process of “decrease the enemy character's HP by 10”, which is an effect corresponding to “disruption”, is performed on the warrior B or the army b. Although not shown, the server 10 may be configured to perform a predetermined effect accompanying the activation of the effect when the effect is activated. For example, when the effect corresponding to the “fire meter” is activated, the predetermined effect associated with the activation of the effect corresponds to an effect that displays a flame in the area where the enemy character is displayed or “assault” In the case of activating the effect, there is an effect in which the army is advanced by one square from the current position of the grid displayed in the battle area 704.

  When the effect corresponding to the game element is activated, the server 10 activates the effect by the enemy character (that is, executes an attack by the enemy character). In this way, the server 10 controls the progress of the turn-based battle.

  The video game in this example has two types of game modes, a single mode and a Chinese unified mode.

  First, the single mode will be described. The single mode means a mode in which the player aims to unify China alone without performing a battle or cooperative play with other players. In this mode, the enemy character is a non-player character (NPC) controlled by the server 10, for example. The possession territory is configured not to be taken away by NPC. With such a configuration, the player can play the video game without anxiety without worrying about being deprived of the possession territory.

  Next, the unified Chinese mode will be described. The Chinese unified mode means a mode in which a guild (synonymous with a group) is formed by a plurality of players, and all guild members aim to unify China while capturing guild-specific quests. That is, in this mode, the Chinese unified map is shared between guild members. Also in this mode, the enemy character is NPC and a battle (a kind of quest) with the enemy character according to the level of the guild is executed. With such a configuration, for example, even a small and small guild can enjoy a victory that matches the level. In addition, all guild members play together to achieve the goal of unifying Chinese, so when you win you can feel the joy of sharing joy. In this mode, PvP (Player versus Player), that is, a configuration in which a battle is performed between a plurality of guilds may be employed. In this example, the server 10 counts only the number of wins by PvP and generates a ranking according to the number of wins. Therefore, each guild has no demerit of defeat, and can easily battle and compete for ranking.

  In the video game in this example, a country composed of military commanders and possession territories can be raised. There are two ways to nurture warlords: how to raise the level of warlords with battles and gachas, and how to collect and strengthen a lot of warlords. Moreover, as a method for raising the country, there is a method of occupying military facilities existing in the Chinese continent and strengthening the occupied military facilities by battle or gacha.

  As described above, as one aspect of the above-described embodiment, a video game processing apparatus (for example, the server 10) that controls the progress of a video game is a game in which a plurality of game elements are associated with a basic game medium in advance. A storage means (for example, a game medium information storage unit 11a) for storing game medium information including a medium is provided, and the game medium information is referred to and selected from a plurality of game elements associated with the basic game medium according to a predetermined rule. Since a predetermined number of selectable game elements are extracted (for example, step S107 and step S201), means capable of improving the preference of the video game can be provided.

  In other words, the video game processing device is configured to extract a predetermined number of selectable game elements from a plurality of game elements associated with the basic game medium, so that the player can select among the plurality of game elements. Thus, it is possible to create a situation in which it is not known which game element is extracted from the video game, and to provide means capable of improving the taste of the video game. In addition, the progress of the video game can be changed according to the extracted game element.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the above-described embodiments, the game medium may be an item used in a video game, a player character, or the like in addition to a virtual card. When the game medium is an item, the basic game medium is, for example, an attribute such as the attack power or defense power of the player character, and the game element is, for example, increases the attack power by 5 or increases the defense power by 10. This may be an effect corresponding to the attribute of the player character. On the other hand, when the game medium is a player character, the basic game medium is, for example, a command that can be executed by the player character, and the game element may be an effect when the player character executes the command, for example.

  Further, as one aspect of the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10) extracts a predetermined number of selectable game elements based on random numbers as a predetermined rule (for example, step S201). Therefore, each time a game element is extracted, a plurality of different game elements can be randomly extracted each time, and the progress of the video game can be easily changed.

  Further, as one aspect of the above-described embodiment, a video game processing device (for example, the terminal 201) displays a predetermined number of extracted selectable game elements (for example, step S203, display screen 700) and displays them. The selection of the selectable game element is received (for example, step S204, display screen 800), and the progress of the video game is updated in response to the reception of the selection of the selectable game element (for example, step S206). Since it is configured, it is possible to change the progress of the video game with a simple configuration by simply selecting the extracted game elements.

  In the example of the embodiment described above, the case where the video game processing device (for example, the terminal 201) displays selectable game elements has been described as an example. However, the video game processing device may be configured to display information (for example, basic game media) corresponding to the game element. In this case, for example, the video game processing apparatus displays two or more basic game media associated with one or more different game elements, and a player for at least two or more basic game media among the displayed two or more basic game media. (A selection operation by a user of the video game processing device) is received, and a predetermined number of selectable game elements are extracted from a plurality of game elements associated with each of the two or more basic game media that have received the selection. A predetermined number of selectable game elements that have been extracted are displayed, the selection of the displayed selectable game elements is accepted, and the progress of the video game is displayed in response to the selection of the selectable game elements being accepted. It is good also as a structure to update. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible to limit the game elements to be extracted, and it is possible to provide variations in the configuration of the video game.

  Further, as one aspect of the above-described embodiment, the game element includes effect information indicating an effect to be activated on the basic game medium associated with the game element, and a video game processing device (for example, a server) 10) activates the effect in response to selection of a selectable game element (for example, step S204) (for example, step S206), and updates the progress of the video game based on the activated effect Thus, the player can activate the effect on the basic game medium (for example, the player character) with a simple operation by simply selecting the displayed game element based on the extraction result.

  In other words, for example, even when a deck is formed of a plurality of game media (for example, virtual cards) or a party is formed of a plurality of game media (for example, player characters), battles with enemy characters are performed. It is not necessary to force the player to perform a cumbersome task of displaying all game elements together with the game medium and selecting a game element from them. That is, the player can enjoy a battle with the enemy character by a simple operation of selecting a game element from a plurality of game elements extracted in advance.

  Although not particularly mentioned in the example of the embodiment described above, the game medium selection screen may be configured to display a list of basic game media and game elements. With such a configuration, the player can select a game medium while examining a plurality of game elements associated with the game medium. Therefore, the player's strategy is added to the extracted game elements in advance. It is possible to provide means that can further improve the taste of the video game.

  Although not specifically mentioned in the example of the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10) determines whether or not the progress of the video game is in a predetermined state, and the progress of the video game. It is good also as a structure which gives a privilege (for example, a territory or a bonus point) to a player, when it is determined that is in a predetermined state. With such a configuration, a motivation for playing a video game can be given to the player.

  Although not specifically mentioned in the example of the embodiment described above, the server 10 may be configured to execute a battle with an enemy character according to the level of the player character operated by the player. With such a configuration, it is possible to execute a battle corresponding to the level of each player character. Moreover, since the possibility of winning the battle is equally given to all players regardless of the level of the player character, it is possible to give the players a motivation to play a video game.

  As described above, one or more deficiencies are solved by each embodiment of the present application. In addition, the effect by each embodiment is an example of a non-limiting effect or effect.

  In the example of the embodiment described above, the case where the server 10 has various functions has been described as an example. However, some or all of the various functions included in the server 10 may be used in a video game processing server as a video game processing device. Alternatively, the user terminal (for example, the terminal 201) may have a configuration.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the plurality of user terminals 20, 201 to 20N and the video game processing server 10 are described above according to various control programs (for example, a video game processing program) stored in a storage device included in the user terminals 20, 201 to 20N. The various processes (see FIGS. 5 and 6) are executed.

  Note that the configuration of the video game processing system 100 is not limited to the configuration described as the example of each embodiment described above. For example, the server 10 executes a part or all of the processing described as processing executed by the user terminal. Alternatively, some or all of the processes described as the processes executed by the server 10 may be executed by any one of the plurality of user terminals 20 and 201 to 20N (for example, the user terminal 201). Moreover, it is good also as a structure with which the some user terminal 20 and 201-20N are provided with one part or all part of the memory | storage part with which the server 10 is provided. In other words, a part or all of the functions of either the user terminal 201 or the video game processing server 10 in the video game processing system 100 may be configured to be included in the other.

  The video game processing program may be configured to realize part or all of the functions described as examples of the above-described embodiments in a single device that does not include a communication network.

  In addition, the configuration of the game screen including an image that the video game processing device (for example, the user terminal 201) reproduces on the display screen of the display device is not particularly limited.

  According to one embodiment of the present invention, it is useful for providing means capable of improving the taste of a video game.
