Then, a program or data may be supplied to the user terminal 10 or the server 30 via the information storage medium.

[2. Game Overview]
In the game system 1, a game is executed by executing a program on the user 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, and upbringing games It is possible to execute various games.

  Hereinafter, as an example of a game executed in the game system 1, a first game in which a first parameter of a first game object is changed or set based on a user operation, and a second game in which the first game object is used. The game will be described. Each of the first game and the second game may be a part of a certain game, or may be separate games. That is, a part of the game executed by one certain game program may be each of the first game and the second game, or the first game is executed by the first game, and the second game is executed by the second game. The second game may be executed by the game program.

  Here, before describing the details of the first game and the second game having the above features, terms such as “game object” and “parameter” will be described.

  The “game object” is a target that can be operated, instructed, used, or bred in a game, for example. The “game object” is, for example, given to a user in a game. Specifically, for example, a game character, a game item, a game card, or the like corresponds to an example of the “game object”.

  The “first game object” is a game object for which the user changes or sets the first parameter. For example, the “first game object” is a game object for which the user improves the performance (performance). For example, the “first game object” is a game character to be raised by the user.

  The “first parameter” is, for example, an ability parameter relating to the ability (performance) of the first game object. The “ability parameter” may be, for example, information indicating the magnitude or level of the capability, or information indicating the presence or absence of a specific capability. Further, the “first parameter” may be a state parameter relating to a state (tone) of the first game object. The “state parameter” is, for example, information indicating a good state. When the first game object is a game character, the “first parameter” may be information indicating the character of the first game object. The “first parameter” is a level parameter relating to the strength (level) of the first game object. The “level parameter” is, for example, information indicating the level of the level. The “first parameter” may be information indicating the ability or the like by a numerical value or a flag, or may be information indicating the ability or the like by a symbol (including characters).

  “Changing or setting the first parameter” refers to changing the value of the first parameter or determining (determining) the value of the first parameter. For example, when the first parameter is a numerical value, increasing or decreasing the numerical value is equivalent to “changing the first parameter”, and determining the increased or decreased numerical value is “changing the first parameter”. "Setting". Further, for example, when the first parameter is a flag, changing on / off (valid / invalid) of the flag corresponds to "changing the first parameter", and determining the changed value. Corresponds to “setting the first parameter”. Further, for example, when the first parameter is a symbol, changing the current symbol to another symbol corresponds to “changing the first parameter”, and determining the other symbol is “first parameter”. Setting a parameter ".

  The “first game” is a game whose main purpose is to change or set the first parameter, for example. The “first game” is not limited to a game whose purpose is only to change or set the first parameter, and may be a game whose purpose is to change or set the first parameter. Good. For example, the “first game” is a training game for training a first game object.

  In other words, the “first game” is a game in which the user aims to set the first parameter of the first game object to a desired state. The “desired state” is a state in which the first parameter is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. For example, the “desired state” is a state in which the ability is the highest in the range that the ability parameter can take or a state in which the ability is equal to or higher than the standard. For example, when the ability parameter changes from 0 to 99, the state where the ability is the highest is a state where the ability parameter has the highest value of 99. The state in which the ability is equal to or higher than the reference is a state in which the ability parameter is equal to or more than a threshold (for example, 80). Further, for example, the “desired state” is a state in which the capability parameter indicates that the device has a specific capability. The “desired state” is a state in which the state is the best state or a state that is equal to or higher than the standard within a range that the state parameter can take. For example, when the state parameter takes one of a plurality of states (for example, best, good, normal, bad, and worst), the best state is the best state among the plurality of states. is there. Above the reference is a state at or above the reference stage (for example, above good). Further, for example, the “desired state” is a state in which a state parameter indicates a specific state. The “desired state” is a state in which the personality is the best state or a state that is equal to or higher than the standard within the range that the personality parameter can take. For example, when the personality parameter takes one of a plurality of personalities (for example, best, good, normal, bad, and worst), the best personality is the best personality among these multi-stage personalities. is there. Above the reference is a character at or above the reference level (for example, above good). Further, for example, the “desired state” is a state in which a personality parameter indicates a specific personality. Further, for example, the “desired state” is a state in which the level parameter is equal to or higher than the highest level or the reference level in a range that the level parameter can take. For example, when the level parameter changes among 0 to 99, the highest level is the state of 99 where the level parameter is the highest value. The state above the reference level is a state where the level parameter is above a threshold (for example, 80).

  The “first game” may be a game in which each parameter of the plurality of first game objects is changed or set. That is, the number of the first game object whose first parameter can be changed or set in the “first game” is not limited to one, but may be plural. For example, in the “first game”, the user can repeatedly play, and the first parameter of a new first game object may be changed or set for each play.

  In the present embodiment, the “first game” is a game in which an effect on the game regarding the change or setting of the first parameter is generated based on the second game object. Stated another way, the “first game” is a game in which an advantageous effect for setting the first parameter to a desired state is generated based on the second game object.

  The “second game object” is a game object different from the first game object. The “second game object” is, for example, an effect generating game object for generating a game effect related to the change or setting of the first parameter in the game. The “second game object” may be the same type of game object as the first game object, or may be a different type of game object. For example, when the “first game object” is a game character, the “second game object” may be a game item. The second parameter is associated with the second game object.

  The “second parameter” is, for example, a level parameter related to the strength (level) of the second game object. For example, the level parameter is a numerical value or a symbol indicating the level of the level. For example, the “second parameter” is a rarity parameter relating to the rarity of the second game object. For example, the scarcity parameter is a numerical value, a symbol, or the like indicating the magnitude of the scarcity. For example, the “second parameter” is a capability parameter related to the capability (performance) of the second game object. The meaning of the capability parameter is the same as that described for the first parameter. The “second parameter” may be changed or set based on a user operation, or may be restricted so as not to be changed. For example, when the user performs an operation for strengthening the second game object, the second parameter may be changed or set.

  The “effect in the first game on the change or setting of the first parameter” means, for example, generating an advantageous effect in changing or setting the first parameter in the first game. For example, an event for changing or setting the first parameter is generated, or a game item for changing or setting the first parameter is given to the user. For example, an effect that facilitates changing or setting the first parameter may be generated in the first game. For example, a game event that facilitates the improvement of the first parameter may be generated, or a game object that facilitates the improvement of the first parameter may be provided to the user. Alternatively, the game may be branched to a game story in which the first parameter is easily changed.

  The “effect on the first game relating to the change or setting of the first parameter” includes the effect for directly changing or setting the first parameter and the effect for indirectly changing or setting the first parameter. And both. To directly change or set the first parameter means, for example, to change or set the first parameter immediately when an event occurs. Indirectly changing or setting the first parameter means that, for example, when an event occurs, the first parameter is not changed or set, but a parameter for changing or setting the first parameter (for example, FIG. 16 and FIG. In FIG. 17, the user increases an experience value point for changing or setting an ability parameter (eg, a game object for changing or setting an ability parameter) for changing or setting a first parameter. Or to be added to For example, the user can change or set a first parameter such as an ability parameter using experience points (FIGS. 16, 17 and the like) and game items. For example, the user may use them to change or set a first parameter such as an ability parameter immediately after the experience point is increased, or immediately after the game item is provided, or after a lapse of time ( The first parameter may be changed or set for use when the user plays or accesses the game (e.g., after a date has changed).

  The “effect advantageous for bringing the first parameter into a desired state” is an effect that facilitates bringing the first parameter into a desired state. For example, changing the change amount of the first parameter so that the first parameter approaches a desired state. For example, when the first parameter is a performance parameter, the increasing amount of the performance parameter is to be increased.

  The “second game” is, for example, a game executed based on the first game object. For example, the “second game” is a game in which a given game task is achieved based on a first game object. Stated another way, the “second game” is a game in which the user aims to achieve a game task based on the first game object.

  The “game task” is a task to be achieved in the game. For example, the “game task” is to leave a predetermined result in the second game. The “game task” differs depending on the content of the second game. For example, when the second game is a competitive game using the first game object whose first parameter has changed in the first game, winning in the competitive game may correspond to a “game task”.

  The “competition game” is a game in which a user and an opponent compete. The opponent may be another user or a computer. For example, the “battle game” is a game in which a battle is performed based on a first game object owned by a user and a first game object owned by an opponent. For example, a “battle game” is a game in which a sports game is played.

  The “second game” may be a game in which a reward is given according to the content or the result of the game. In this case, obtaining more rewards corresponds to a “game task”.

  The “reward” is a game object (game item or the like) or a parameter (point or currency in the game) given to the user. The content of the “reward” changes according to the result or content of the game, and the user plays the game aiming at obtaining a better reward. The reward is good when the reward is high or when the reward is highly scarce.

Next, an overview of the first game and the second game will be described by taking a baseball game as an example. The correspondence between the main terms described above and the terms in the baseball game described below is as follows.
"1st game": success part "2nd game": stadium part "1st game object": hero character or original character "2nd game object": event character "1st parameter": hero character Or the ability parameter of the original character. "2nd parameter": the level parameter of the event character

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a home screen image of a baseball game. As shown in FIG. 2, various parameters related to a user who plays a baseball game are displayed in an upper area A110 of the home screen image G100. The upper area A110 includes areas A111 to A116 for displaying various parameters related to the user.

  An area A111 indicates a user name. The area A112 indicates the amount of coins owned by the user. “Coin” is a virtual currency used in the game, and is used to enhance event characters described later (see FIGS. 23 to 27). The area A113 indicates the number of power stones owned by the user. The “power stone” is a game item necessary for performing a lottery (gacha) for obtaining an event character, and for recovering parameters that are normally recovered with the lapse of time at one time.

  An area A114 indicates a success point of the user. The success point is a point necessary for playing a success part (see FIGS. 3 to 19) described later. As will be described later, the success part is a game part in which a user develops a game character (an example of a first game object) as a baseball player and creates his own original character. The success point is reduced (consumed) when the user starts playing the success mode, and increases (recovers) with time. In the area A114, the remaining time until the success point is completely recovered may be displayed.

  The area A115 indicates the rank of the team of the user and the overall strength. In this baseball game, a user can form his or her own team using original characters cultivated in the success part in the past (see FIGS. 29 and 30), and can play against another user's team. (See FIGS. 34 and 35). For example, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 2, the alphabet (B) displayed in the area A115 indicates the rank of the user's team. “B” has a lower rank than “A” and a higher rank than “C”. The numerical value (10200) displayed in the area A115 indicates the total power of the team of the user. For example, the higher the numerical value, the higher the total power. The total power is calculated based on the abilities of the game characters belonging to the team.

  The area A116 indicates the number of game tickets owned by the user. The “match ticket” is a game item necessary to compete against another user's team in a stadium part described later. The user can play a game with another user's team by using one game ticket. Note that the number of game tickets increases (recovers) over time. In the area A116, the remaining time until the number of game tickets increases may be displayed.

  In the lower area A120 of the home screen image G100, a plurality of processing objects P121 to P125 are displayed. The “processing object” is, for example, an image, a symbol, a text, or the like associated with the processing. Specifically, for example, a button, an icon, a link, or the like corresponds to an example of the “processing object”. When a processing object is selected, processing associated with the processing object is executed.

  Processing for returning to the home screen image G100 is associated with the processing object P121. When the user selects a processing object P121 displayed on the screen image while a screen image other than the home screen image G100 is displayed on the display unit 15, the home screen image G100 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  Processing for displaying a screen image for organizing a user's team is associated with the processing object P122. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 28 to 30). Further, the processing object P123 is associated with processing for displaying a screen image for confirming the event character owned by the user, organizing the deck of the event character, and enhancing the event character. ing. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 20 to 27).

  A process for displaying a screen image for performing a lottery (gacha) for obtaining an event character is associated with the processing object P124. When the user selects the processing object P124, a screen image for performing the lottery is displayed on the display unit 15.

  The processing object P125 includes a purchase of a power stone, a success point or a game ticket in exchange for a real world currency (for example, dollar or yen) or a currency (for example, electronic money or points) used outside the game. A process for displaying a screen image for recovery or the like is associated. When the user selects the processing object P125, a screen image for purchasing a power stone or recovering a success point or a game ticket is displayed on the display unit 15 in exchange for the real world currency.

  Further, home screen image G100 includes processing object P130. Processing for displaying a menu screen image is associated with the processing object P130. When the user selects the processing object P130, a menu screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. Through this menu screen image, the user can enter into a relationship with another user (for example, a friend relationship or a friend relationship) or check a notice from a game providing company.

  Further, home screen image G100 includes processing objects P140, P150, and P160. This baseball game has three parts: a success part, a stadium part, and a challenge part, and the processing objects P140, P150, and P160 are for the user to select any of these parts. .

  The processing object P140 is associated with the success part, and the user can play the success part by selecting the processing object P140. As described above, the success part is a game part for nurturing game characters, and the details of the success part will be described later (see FIGS. 3 to 19).

  The processing object P150 is associated with the stadium part, and the user can play the stadium part by selecting the processing object P150. As described above, the stadium part is a game part that plays against another user's team, and the details of the stadium part will be described later (see FIGS. 34 and 35).

  The processing object P160 is associated with a challenge part, and when the user selects the processing object P160, the challenge part is executed. In this baseball game, for example, a plurality of game tasks such as “train three player characters in a success part” and “win 100 in a stadium part” are set in advance. In the challenge part, the user can check the achievement status of each game task, and can obtain a reward associated with the game task that the user has achieved. Note that the above-described task may be set for each day, every week, or every month.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the processing objects P140, P150, and P160 are displayed at positions corresponding to the three vertices of the erect triangle, respectively, and the user selects one of the processing objects P140, P150, and P160. When one of them is selected, the selected processing object is displayed at a position corresponding to the upper vertex.

  The example shown in FIG. 2 shows a state where the processing object P140 associated with the success part is selected. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2, processing objects P141 to P143 related to the success part are displayed.

  In the success part, the user trains the game character (hereinafter, referred to as a "hero character") while practicing the scenario to train the hero character and create an original character of his own. Here, the “scenario” is a game story developed in accordance with the progress of the game.

  As an example of the above scenario, a game story is provided from the summer of the hero character in the second year of high school until becoming a professional baseball player. For example, the hero character belongs to a high school baseball club, wins regulars while practicing with teammates, and participates in baseball games (local qualifying tournament, national tournament, etc.). If the evaluation of the scout of the professional baseball team observing the practice and the game of the protagonist character is equal to or higher than the standard, the protagonist character is scouted as a professional baseball player in the fall of the third year of high school.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of scenarios are provided as scenarios in the success part. For example, the high school to which the protagonist character belongs is different between the plurality of scenarios. Specifically, the scenario in which the high school to which the hero character belongs is a general high school, the scenario in which the high school to which the hero character belongs is baseball prestigious high, and the high school to which the hero character belongs are boys and girls. Scenarios in which the number of the students is a high school where the number of the other students is much larger than that of the other students are provided as the plurality of scenarios.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2, scenario A (high school A), scenario B (high school B), and scenario C (high school C) are associated with the processing objects P141, P142, and P143, respectively. When the user selects any of the processing objects P141 to P143, the selected processing object is displayed at the center of the home screen image G100.

  The example illustrated in FIG. 2 illustrates a state where the processing object P142 associated with the scenario B (B high school) is selected. When the user further selects the processing object P142 in this state, the success part is executed. In this case, the scenario of the success part is scenario B.

  Here, the flow of the success part will be described. FIG. 3 shows an example of the flow of the success part. As shown in FIG. 3, in the success part, after the prepart is executed, the main part is executed. In the pre-part, information necessary for executing the main part is registered and set.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the pre-part, first, basic information of the main character is registered. FIG. 4 shows an example of a hero registration screen image for registering basic information of the hero character. The upper area A210, lower area A220, and processing object P130 in the hero registration screen image G200 shown in FIG. 4 are the same as the upper area A110, lower area A120, and processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. Then, the description is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the hero registration screen image G200 includes a hero registration area A240. The hero registration area A240 is an area for registering basic information of a hero character to be bred in a success part. For example, the basic information includes a name, a voice, a defense position, a dominant arm, and a hitting form (or a pitching form). “Speech” refers to how to read the name (yomigana / furigana) when outputting the name of the hero character by voice. When the “defense position” is other than the pitcher, the “hitting form” is included in the basic information, and when the “defense position” is the pitcher, the “throwing form” is included.

  In this embodiment, the basic information of the main character is automatically initialized and displayed in the main character registration area A240. In the hero registration area A240, processing objects P241 to P245 are displayed in association with the respective items. The user can change the content of the item by selecting the processing object associated with the item to be changed. it can. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, since the processing object P241 is associated with the "name", the user can change the name of the main character to an arbitrary name by selecting the processing object P241.

  The hero registration screen image G200 includes processing objects P230 and P250. The process object P230 is associated with a process for returning to the previously displayed screen image. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P230, the home screen image G100 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  On the other hand, the processing object P250 is associated with processing for completing the setting of the basic information of the main character. As shown in FIG. 3, when the registration of the basic information of the main character is completed, the setting of the event deck is performed. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P250, an event deck setting screen image for setting an event deck is displayed on the display unit 15. Although the details will be described later, the event character set in the event deck affects the development of the main character.

  FIG. 5 is an example of the event deck setting screen image. Note that the upper area A310, the lower area A320, and the processing object P130 in the event deck setting screen image G300 illustrated in FIG. 5 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. Here, the description is omitted. Further, the processing object P330 in the event deck setting screen image G300 is for returning to the screen image displayed immediately before (that is, the main character registration screen image G200), similarly to the processing object P230 in the hero registration screen image G200. It is.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the event deck setting screen image G300 includes an event deck setting area A340. In FIG. 5, the contents displayed in the event deck setting area A340 are omitted, and the contents displayed in the event deck setting area A340 are shown in FIG.

  Here, the “event deck” will be described. As described later, various events occur in the main part (scenario) of the success part. For example, an event that is advantageous for improving the hero character's ability occurs. In this regard, in the present embodiment, the events that occur during the main part of the success part are not fixed, and various events occur according to one or more game characters that the user has incorporated into the event deck. ing. Therefore, the user can select an event that can occur in the main part by selecting a game character to be incorporated in the event deck. Hereinafter, a game character that can be incorporated into an event deck (in other words, a game character for generating an event) is referred to as an “event character”.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the event deck setting area A340 includes an area A341 and a processing object P342. The area A341 indicates the name of the event deck. Further, a process for displaying a screen image for changing the name of the event deck is associated with the processing object P342. When the user selects the processing object P342, a screen image for changing the name of the event deck is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user can change the name of the event deck.

  In the event deck setting area A340, six setting frames A344-1, A344-2, A344-3, A344-4, A344-5, and A345 for setting event characters to be members of the event deck are provided. Have been.

  In the present embodiment, when the user plays the baseball game 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 a game, or obtain an event character from another user. The event character is given to the user in the form of a game card (digital card), and the user can own the event character in the form of a game card. In this regard, in the present embodiment, the user can arbitrarily incorporate up to five event characters from the event characters owned by the user into the event deck. The setting frames A344-1, A344-2, A344-3, A344-4, and A344-5 are frames for setting an event character owned by the user as a member of the event deck. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, an image showing the event character set on the event deck by the user is displayed in the event deck setting area A340 together with the level and rarity of the event character.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an event character owned by another user can be incorporated into the event deck as only one helper. The setting frame A345 is a frame for setting an event character owned by another user as a member of the event deck.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated into the event deck among the event characters owned by the user is set to “5”, and the upper limit of the number of event characters owned by another user is set. The upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated into the event deck among the event characters being set is set to “1”. For example, these upper limits may be changed by satisfying a predetermined condition. Specifically, for example, the upper limit may be increased when the degree of progress of the game reaches a reference. Alternatively, the upper limit may be increased by charging (for example, by consuming a charging item). Alternatively, the upper limit may be increased by consuming a predetermined amount of in-game points, in-game currency, and the like. In addition, the upper limit may be changed by satisfying various conditions.

  When the user performs a long-press operation (operation to keep touching for a predetermined time or more) on any of the setting frames, an event character screen image indicating detailed information of the event character set in the setting frame is displayed on the display unit 15. Is displayed.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of the event character screen image. As shown in FIG. 7, the event character screen image G400 includes a first area A410, a second area A420, and a third area A440.

  In the first area 410, the name, image, rarity, level, experience value, event power, player ability, and good practice of the event character are displayed. Here, the event power, player ability, good practice, and the like differ for each event character. In particular, since the special training differs for each event character, options and strategies for the user to incorporate the event character into the event deck arise.

  “Rarity” indicates, for example, the difficulty of obtaining the event character. The higher the rarity of the event character, the more difficult it is to obtain the event character. In general, the higher the rarity of an event character is, the higher the usefulness (ability, effect, etc.) of the event character is. Therefore, it can be said that "rareness" indicates the usefulness of the event character.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, "R" displayed on the left side of the image of the event character indicates the rarity of the event character. In the present embodiment, any one of a plurality of levels of rarities of PSR (powerful super rare), SR (super rare), PR (powerful rare), R (rare), PN (powerful normal), and N (normal) is used for each event character. Be associated. In addition, when these are arranged in ascending order, they are PSR, SR, PR, R, PN, and N. That is, PSR indicates the highest rarity, and N indicates the lowest rarity. Incidentally, even with the same event character, there may be six kinds of rarities of PSR, SR, PR, R, PN, and N. Here, the same event character is an event character having the same name and can be said to be an event character having the same appearance (image). For example, when the event character is a person, being the same person is equivalent to being the same event character.

  “Level” indicates the level of the event character. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the description “Lv. 8/22 (+2)” indicates the level of the event character. This indicates that the current level of the event character is “8” and the maximum level (upper limit level) is “22”.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, the gauge area A411 indicates the current experience value of the event character. As will be described later, in the present embodiment, an experience value is given to the event character by combining the event character with another event character (see FIGS. 23 to 27). When the experience value of the event character reaches a predetermined value, the level of the event character increases by one. Note that a state in which the gauge in the gauge area A411 extends to the right end of the gauge area A411 corresponds to a state in which the experience value of the event character has reached a predetermined value.

  The level of the event character is limited so as not to exceed the maximum level. The maximum level depends on the rarity. The higher the rarity, the higher the maximum level. When the same event character is combined with the event character, the maximum level of the event character may increase. The description “Lv. 8/22 (+2)” indicates that the maximum level of the event character is increased by two. That is, the initial maximum level of the event character is “20”, which indicates that the maximum level has increased to “22” due to the strengthening of the event character.

  “Event power” indicates the potential of an event associated with the event character (that is, an event that can occur in the main part according to the event character). The higher the value of the event power, the easier it is to increase the ability of the hero character. The higher the rarity, the higher the value of the event power.

  The “player ability” indicates the ability of the event character as one player. In the main part, a match event occurs during the main part (scenario) of the success part, and a match between the high school to which the hero character belongs and another high school is played. In this match, the event character incorporated in the event deck participates as the main character's teammate. The player ability indicates the level of ability that the event character can exert in such a game.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, alphabets and numerical values indicating player abilities are displayed. The higher the numerical value, the higher the ability that the event character can exert as a player in the game. Further, any one of the alphabets S, A, B, C, D, E and F is associated with the event character according to the numerical value. “S” indicates that the player ability is very high, and “F” indicates that the player ability is extremely low.

  Note that the player ability does not change in a predetermined state. That is, even if another event character is combined with the event character, the player ability of the event character does not change. The event character screen image G400 includes a processing object P430 associated with a process for displaying details of the event character's player abilities. When the user selects the processing object P430, a screen image showing details of the player ability of the event character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  The “good practice” indicates a practice that the event character is good at. As described later, in the main part (scenario) of the success part, the ability of the hero character can be improved by causing the hero character to practice. Further, when the hero character is made to practice the event character together with the event character, it is easier to improve the hero's ability than in the normal case.

  The second area A420 shows an event list, an event bonus, and a profile of the event character. As shown in FIG. 7, the second area A420 includes a first tab T421, a second tab T422, and a third tab T423.

  The first tab T421 shows an event list of the event character. The “event list” indicates a list of events that can occur in the main part of the success part when the event character is incorporated in the event deck. Further, a third tab T423 shows a profile of the event character. Note that in the example shown in FIG. 7, the second tab T422 is mainly displayed, but the user selects the first tab T421 or the third tab T423 to replace the first tab T422 with the first tab T422. T421 or the third tab T423 can be displayed.

  The second tab T422 indicates an event bonus of the event character. In the main part of the success part, an advantageous effect (bonus) for increasing the ability of the hero character is generated by the event character incorporated in the event deck. The “event bonus” indicates an effect that occurs in the main part of the success part when the event character is incorporated in the event deck.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, “initial evaluation 15”, “special tag bonus 20%”, “knob event bonus 20%”, and “special practice rate up 10%” are set as event bonuses for the event character. Details of these event bonuses will be described later (see the description of FIGS. 13, 16, and 17).

  Note that the effect generated by the event character may differ depending on the combination of the event character and the scenario of the success part selected by the user. For example, the event or event bonus generated by the event character may change according to the scenario. In this case, the effect for each scenario may be identifiable in the event character screen image G400. In the success part, a game in which the main character participates is performed, and the event character can also participate in this game. However, the event character cannot participate in the game of the stadium part.

  In the present embodiment, as the level of the event character increases, the event bonus (the above effect) also increases. As shown in FIG. 7, the second tab T422 includes a processing object P424 in which a process for displaying the correspondence between the event character level and the event bonus is associated. When the user selects the processing object P424, a bonus detail screen image indicating the correspondence between the event character level and the event bonus is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the bonus detail screen image. As shown in FIG. 8, in the bonus detail screen image G500, the correspondence between the event character level and the event bonus is displayed. That is, the bonus associated with the level of the event character is displayed on the bonus detail screen image G500. The event bonus associated with the level “n” of the event character indicates an event bonus that occurs in the main part of the success part when the level of the event character is equal to or higher than the level “n”.

  In the bonus detail screen image G500, an event bonus associated with a level lower than the current level of the event character and an event bonus associated with a level higher than the current level of the event character are displayed.

  Further, in the bonus detail screen image G500, the event bonus associated with a level lower than the current level of the event character and the event bonus associated with a level higher than the current level of the event character are displayed so that the user can distinguish them. Is done. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the check object is displayed in association with a level lower than the current level of the event character. In the example shown in FIG. 8, since the current level of the event character is “8” (see FIG. 7), the check objects C510 and C520 are displayed in association with the levels “1” and “5”. For this reason, the user can easily grasp "what kind of event bonus is generated in the main part of the success part by incorporating the event character in the current state into the event deck". In place of the above check objects C510 and C520, in the bonus detail screen image G500, the color of the area of the level lower than the current level of the event character (that is, the area indicating the effect that occurs at the current level of the event character) Or the brightness may be changed. Conversely, in the bonus detail screen image G500, the color of an area showing an effect that does not occur at the current level of the event character may be changed, or the brightness may be changed.

  Note that the bonus detail screen image G500 also includes a processing object P530 associated with a process for closing the bonus detail screen image G500. When the user selects the processing object P530, the bonus detail screen image G500 disappears, and the event character screen image G400 is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the third area A440 of the event character screen image G400 includes processing objects P441, P442, and P443.

  The processing object P441 is a processing object associated with processing for closing the event character screen image G400. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P441, the event character screen image G400 disappears, and the event deck setting screen image G300 is displayed.

  The process object P442 is a process object associated with a process for locking an event character. "Locking an event character" means that the event character cannot be sold or combined with another event character. When the user selects the processing object P442, the event character displayed on the event character screen image G400 is locked. When the event character displayed on the event character screen image G400 is in a locked state, the processing object P442 is a processing object associated with a process for unlocking the event character.

  The processing object P443 is a processing object associated with processing for setting an event character as a leader. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P443, the event character displayed on the event character screen image G400 is set as a leader. The event character set by the user as a leader can be rented to another user as a helper. Conversely, a user can rent an event character set as a leader by another user and play a success part.

  When the event character set as the leader by the user is rented as a helper, a reward is given to the user. For example, when an event character set by the user as a leader is rented as a helper, a notification indicating that a reward is given is displayed on the display unit 15 at the time of starting a game or the like. The reward may be automatically given, or may be given when the user performs an operation for receiving the reward. As the reward, for example, gacha points, coins, store medals, game items, and the like may be given, the experience value and level of the event character owned by the user may be improved, or the hero character or the original character may be provided. The performance parameter may be improved. Further, the contents of the reward may change according to the result of the success part used as the assistant.

  In the event deck setting area A340 shown in FIG. 6, the user taps any one of the setting frames A344-1, A344-2, A344-3, A344-4, and A344-5 (operation of touching for a short time). Is performed, the event character set in the setting frame is selected as the change source, and an event character change screen image for changing the event character selected as the change source to another event character is displayed on the display unit 15. You.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of the event character change screen image. Note that the upper area A610, the lower area A620, and the processing object P130 in the event character change screen image G600 shown in FIG. 9 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. Here, the description is omitted. Further, the processing object P630 in the event character change screen image G600 is similar to the processing object P230 in the hero registration screen image G200, for returning to the screen image displayed immediately before (that is, the event deck setting screen image G300). It is.

  The event character change screen image G600 includes an event character list area A640. The event character list area A640 shows a list of event characters owned by the user. In the event character list area A640, the event characters incorporated in the event deck and the event characters not incorporated in the event deck are displayed so that the user can distinguish them. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the text (or image) of "in use" is displayed in association with the event character incorporated in the event deck, so that the same event character cannot be duplicated in the event deck. Cannot be selected. The user selects any one of the event characters not incorporated in the event deck as a change destination. When the user selects any event character as the change destination, the event character selected as the change destination is incorporated in the event deck instead of the event character selected as the change source.

  The event character list area A640 includes a processing object P641 associated with a process of removing the event character selected as the change source from the event deck. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P641, the event character selected as the change source is removed from the event deck.

  The process object P650 is associated with a process of sorting the display order of event characters displayed in the event character list area A640. Here, a plurality of conditions can be specified. For example, "entry procedure", "rareness order", "level order", "special practice (details will be described later) order", "event power order", "player ability order" , "Name order", and "lock order".

  In the event deck setting area A340 shown in FIG. 6, when the user performs a tap operation (operation of touching for a short time) on the setting frame A345, a helper is selected from the event characters owned by other users. A screen image for selection is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of the event deck setting area A340 when the event character in the setting frame A344-5 is changed to another event character and a helper is selected from the event characters owned by another user. Show.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the event deck setting area A340 includes a good practice area A346. The good practice area A346 shows the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the event deck setting area A340 displays the event characters shown in the setting frames A344-1 to A344-5 and A345 and the good practice shown in the good practice area A346. Will be. That is, the event character and the special practice corresponding to the event character are displayed on the same screen. Therefore, the user can easily visually recognize the desired practice and the event character having the desired practice, and can intuitively grasp whether or not the event character incorporated in the event deck is ideal. .

  In the present embodiment, ten types of “hitting”, “strength”, “running base”, “shoulder strength”, “defense”, “mental”, “ball speed”, “control”, “stamina”, and “breaking ball” are used. Is set as the event character's good practice. Of these, "defense" and "mental" are practice items common to both fielders and pitchers. “Blow”, “strength”, “running base”, and “shoulder strength” are fielder practice items. The “ball speed”, “control”, “stamina”, and “ball of change” are pitcher practice items. These exercises are performed by the main character in a success part described later.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the ten types of exercises are displayed in the specialty practice area A346, and among the ten types of exercises, the best practice is set for the event character incorporated in the event deck. A practice that is not set as a special practice of an event character incorporated in an event deck and a practice that is not set as a good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck are displayed so that the user can distinguish them.

  In the specialty training area A346, the training mainly for the fielder (hitting, muscular strength, base running, shoulder strength, defense) is displayed on one side (left side), and the training mainly for the pitcher (ball speed, control) , Stamina, and changing ball) are displayed on the other side (right side). And practice for both the fielder and the pitcher (Mental) is displayed between them. With the display positions of the exercises arranged in this manner, as described below, by making it possible to identify the special exercises of the event character incorporated in the event deck, an event that is ideal for cultivating a fielder or a pitcher can be identified. It is possible to intuitively grasp whether the character is incorporated in the event deck. For example, if the hero character the user wants to nurture is a pitcher, the intuition that the event character incorporated in the event deck is not ideal for nurturing the pitcher if the specialty practice is arranged on the left side many times. The user can easily determine whether to replace the event character or the like. In this example, the practice for the fielder and the practice for the pitcher are arranged so as to be divided into left and right, but they may be arranged vertically. Further, for example, the display mode of the practice of the fielder and the practice of the pitcher may be made different. For example, the practice of the fielder and the practice of the pitcher may be color-coded, such as displaying the practice of the fielder in green and the practice of the pitcher in red. In this way, for example, if the hero character the user wants to nurture is a fielder, and if there is a lot of red color as a good practice, the event character incorporated in the event deck is not ideal for nurturing the fielder Can be intuitively grasped, so that the user can easily determine whether to replace the event character or the like.

  In the specialty practice area A346, the practice set as the specialty practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck and the practice not set as the specialty practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck are displayed in different display modes. Is displayed. In the examples shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the crosses are displayed in association with the practice not set as the special practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck, thereby setting the special practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck. And the practice that is not set as the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck. Note that the method of performing the distinctive display is not limited to the crosses. The display mode of the practice set as the good practice and the practice not set may be made different, and for example, the distinction display may be made by changing the color tone or the brightness. In this case, the practice set as the good practice may be displayed brighter, and the practice set as the good practice may be displayed darker. This makes it possible to grasp the good practice with the brightness of the image, so that the good practice can be grasped more intuitively.

  In the specialty practice area A346 shown in FIG. 10, a numerical value (2) is displayed in association with each of "muscle strength" and "shoulder strength". This numerical value indicates the number of event characters for which the practice is set as a good practice among the event characters incorporated in the event deck. This number includes the event character of the assistant. A specialty practice area A346 shown in FIG. 10 indicates that two event characters set as “good strength” are included in the event characters incorporated in the event deck. Similarly, the specialty practice area A346 shown in FIG. 10 indicates that, of the event characters incorporated in the event deck, two event characters whose "shoulder strength" is set as the specialty practice are included. . Here, the number of event characters having the same good practice is displayed on the screen numerically, but, for example, an image such as a star mark or an icon is made to correspond to the number of event characters, and the corresponding good practice is performed. It may be displayed at any position around it, or may be displayed superimposed on the specialty practice. Also, an image directly indicating the number of event characters having the same specialty practice is not displayed on the screen, and as the number of event characters having the same specialty practice increases, the brightness of the specialty practice increases, An effect such as blinking may be strengthened.

  In the special practice area A346, only the practice set as the special practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck is displayed, and the practice not set as the special practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck is displayed. It may not be done. In addition, when the event character included in the event deck includes a plurality of event characters set as a good practice for the same practice, a plurality of the practice is displayed in the good practice area A346. Is also good.

  In the present embodiment, not only the event character of "player" but also the event character of "manager" can be incorporated in the event deck. Since the event character of "manager" has no special practice set, the display of the special practice area A346 does not change even when incorporated in the event deck. For example, in the specialty practice area A346 of the event deck in which there are four "player" event characters and one "manager" event character, only the four specialty exercises are displayed.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the event deck setting area A340 includes a processing object P343 associated with a process for automatically setting an event deck in accordance with a user's request.

  When the user selects the processing object P343, an automatic setting menu screen image for selecting a cultivation policy of the main character is displayed. FIG. 11 shows an example of the automatic setting menu screen image. In the automatic setting menu screen image G700 shown in FIG. 11, one of a first cultivation policy of “cultivating a hero character as a pitcher” and a second cultivation policy of “cultivating a hero character as a fielder” can be selected. It has become.

  The automatic setting menu screen image G700 includes a processing object P710. The processing for selecting the first breeding policy is associated with the processing object P710. Stated another way, the processing object P710 is associated with processing for automatically setting an event deck suitable for breeding the hero character as a pitcher. That is, when the processing object P710 is selected, for example, an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the pitcher ability or an event character associated with a practice item for pitcher practice items that is good at the pitcher performance item is selected. It is set as a member of the event deck with priority over other event characters.

  Further, the automatic setting menu screen image G700 also includes a processing object P720. The processing for selecting the second breeding policy is associated with the processing object P720. In other words, the processing object P420 is associated with processing for automatically setting an event deck suitable for nurturing the hero character as a fielder. That is, when the processing object P720 is selected, for example, an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the fielder ability or an event character associated with a practice item for a fielder as a good practice item It is set as a member of the event deck with priority over other event characters.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the user selects a desired option from among a plurality of options (that is, a plurality of options related to the nurturing policy) displayed on the automatic setting menu screen image G700, so that the desired nurturing is achieved. The event deck that matches the policy is automatically set. As a result, the user can easily set an event deck that matches a desired breeding policy.

  If the pitcher training policy is selected and there are few event characters that are set to practice “pitcher”, the event that is set to practice “fielder” is good. The character may be set in the event deck. Conversely, if the “fielder” training policy is selected and if there are few event characters that are set to practice “fielder”, the practice “pitcher” is set to practice better. The event character may be set in the event deck. In this case, an event character with a high rarity may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 11, any one of the two training policies of “pitcher” and “fielder” can be selected, but one of a plurality of training policies regarding “pitcher” is selected. Alternatively, it may be possible to select any of a plurality of training policies relating to “fielders”. For example, the ability that the user attaches importance to may be selected from among a plurality of abilities related to “pitcher” or “fielder”. For example, as a training policy related to “pitcher”, any of “emphasis on ball speed”, “emphasis on control”, and “emphasis on changing ball” may be selected. Further, for example, as a training policy for the “fielder”, any of “meet emphasis”, “power emphasis”, “running emphasis”, and “defense emphasis” may be selected.

  In the automatic setting menu screen image G700, a plurality of questions may be presented to the user. Then, an event character matching the answer to the plurality of questions may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck. As described above, the breeding policy desired by the user may be determined from the answers to the plurality of questions, and the event character suitable for the breeding policy desired by the user may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck. Note that, as the plurality of questions, a plurality of questions regarding the user's personality diagnosis may be presented. By doing so, an event character suitable for nurturing the main character so as to resemble the character of the user may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck.

  Note that the automatic setting menu screen image G700 also includes a processing object P730 associated with a process for closing the automatic setting menu screen image G700. When the user selects the processing object P730, the automatic setting menu screen image G700 disappears, and the event deck setting screen image G300 is displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 5, the event deck setting screen image G300 includes a processing object P350. Processing for completing the setting of the event deck is associated with the processing object P350. As shown in FIG. 3, when the setting of the event deck is completed, a game item is selected. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P350, a screen image for selecting a game item is displayed on the display unit 15.

  In the present embodiment, the user can obtain, as a reward, a game item that is advantageous for increasing the ability of the hero character in the success part, or obtain a game item from another user. In this screen image, the user selects a game item to be used in the current success part (main part) from the game items owned by the user. Note that an upper limit (for example, two) is provided for the number of game items that can be selected here. The user cannot select a game item exceeding this upper limit.

  When the selection of the game item is completed, the pre-part is completed and the main part is started. In the main part, a scenario selected by the user on the home screen image G100 is started. For example, a scenario in which a hero character belongs to a high school baseball club, wins regulars while practicing with teammates, participates in games (local qualifying tournaments and national tournaments), and aims to become a professional baseball player. Be started.

  In the scenario, an event character incorporated in the event deck appears. For example, an event character incorporated in an event deck appears as a teammate of the main character or a manager of a baseball club to which the main character belongs. As described above, the event character owned by the user becomes a character in the scenario by being incorporated in the event deck. In addition, the game character incorporated in the event deck may appear in the game as, for example, a player of a rival team.

  In the scenario, predetermined game characters (for example, one manager, one scout, one manager, and four to eight teammate players) are set in advance as characters. These game characters appear in the game even if they are not incorporated in the event deck. For this reason, the event character incorporated in the event deck can be said to be a game character added as a character.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the main part (scenario) includes a plurality of sections. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the main part (scenario) is divided into four sections in chronological order.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, the scenario branches. Specifically, sections 3A and 3B are prepared as the third section. Thus, after section 2 is completed, the user can select any one of sections 3A and 3B. If the user selects section 3A, section 3A is started, and section 4A is started after section 3A is completed. On the other hand, if the user selects section 3B, section 3B starts, and section 4B starts after section 3B is completed. That is, after the user selects the section 3A, the user cannot shift to the section 4B, and conversely, after the user selects the section 3B, the user cannot shift to the section 4A.

  Note that the scenario may branch only within a specific period. That is, the user may be allowed to proceed to the sections 3B and 4B only within a specific period, and may be prevented from proceeding to the sections 3B and 4B outside the specific period. In such a case, sections 3B and 4B indicate that a special event that normally would not occur unless a special event character (for example, a high rarity event character) is incorporated in the event deck is a special event character. It is good also as what happens even if it is not built in the deck. By doing so, a special event may be generated for a user who does not own the special event character by proceeding to the sections 3B and 4B only within a specific period. Further, if a specific period ends while the user is proceeding with the sections 3B and 4B, the sections 3B and 4B can be proceeded only for a predetermined period thereafter (eg, one day). You may. Further, the section after the sections 3A and 3B may be further branched into a plurality of sections. Further, there may be a plurality of sections that can be advanced only within a specific period. Further, if the user selects a specific section when the scenario branches as described above, the hero character can acquire an ability not possessed by the event character of the event deck set by the user when an event occurs, for example. It may be. When the user selects a specific section, the increase amount of the ability parameter when an event occurs or the like may be set to be larger than the normal increase amount by the event character incorporated in the event deck. Alternatively, for example, when the user selects a specific section, coins, gacha points, and the like may be obtained more than usual. In the above-described embodiment, the configuration is such that the section 2 branches to the sections 3B and 4B, and the branch occurs in a part of the four sections. However, when one section ends, the branch always occurs. It may be configured. That is, a branch may occur in all sections.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 3, each section includes a plurality of turns. In the example shown in FIG. 3, each section is composed of 12 turns. The number of turns included in a section may vary from section to section.

  For example, one turn corresponds to one week in the game. Each time one turn ends, the scenario progresses as virtual time in the game progresses for one week. Note that one turn may correspond to one day or one month in the game.

  When the scenario progresses to the end, the training of the main character is completed. The hero character whose training has been completed is registered as an original character and can be used in the stadium part. By starting the success part again from the beginning after the end of the main part, another hero character can be cultivated (that is, another original character can be generated).

  In each turn of the main part, the user selects any one of the options regarding the action of the main character as an action to be performed by the main character.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of a main command screen image in the success part. A main command screen image G800 illustrated in FIG. 12 is a screen image for selecting an action to be performed by the main character.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the progress of the scenario is displayed in the upper area A810 of the main command screen image G800. For example, the current section and the number of turns remaining until the current section ends are displayed. Also, the time point in the game is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 12, “2 August, 2 weeks” is displayed, which indicates that the main character is a high school sophomore, and the present is the second week of August.

  In the upper area A810, the motivation parameter of the main character is also displayed. The motivation parameter is a parameter indicating the motivation (tone) of the main character. For example, the higher the value of the motivation parameter, the higher the hero character's motivation. As will be described later, in the present embodiment, the hero character practices in each turn, so that experience points are given to the hero character (see FIG. 13). At this time, the more the hero character is motivated, the more experience points are given to the hero character.

  In the upper area A810, the number of treasure chests found in the current section is also displayed. As will be described later, in each turn, a treasure chest discovery event in which a dog finds and carries a treasure chest is generated based on predetermined probability information (see FIG. 14). The number of treasure chests is displayed.

  The upper region A810 includes a gauge region A811 indicating a physical strength parameter of the main character. For example, when the hero character practices, the value of the physical strength parameter decreases, and when the hero character stops training, the value of the physical strength parameter increases (recovers). Note that, when the value of the physical strength parameter decreases, the probability that the hero character is injured during the practice increases (see FIG. 13).

  Further, the upper area A810 includes the processing object P812. The processing for displaying the menu screen image related to the success part is associated with the processing object P812. When the user selects the processing object P812, the menu screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. In the menu screen image, for example, the success part can be interrupted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12, processing objects P821, P822, P823, and P824 are displayed in a lower area A820 of the main command screen image G800.

  The process object P821 is associated with a process for displaying a log of the success part (main part). When the user selects the process object P821, the log is displayed.

  Processing for turning on / off the auto function is associated with the processing object P822. The automatic function is a function for automatically sending the text displayed on the display unit 15. In the main part, text indicating the content of parameter change and text indicating a conversation between the main character and another game character are displayed on the display unit 15 (see FIGS. 14 and 15). Normally, the user needs to tap the display unit 15 to send such text. However, if the auto function is set to ON, the text is automatically displayed even if the user does not tap the display unit 15. Sent to The user can turn on / off the auto function by selecting the processing object P822.

  Processing for turning on / off the skip function is associated with the processing object P823. The skip function is a function for automatically sending the text displayed on the display unit 15 at a higher speed than the automatic function. When the skip function is set to ON, text is automatically sent at a faster speed than the automatic function without the user tapping the display unit 15. The user can turn on / off the skip function by selecting the processing object P823. However, both the auto function and the skip function cannot be turned on, and only one of them can be turned on.

  The processing for turning on / off the shortcut function is associated with the processing object P824. The shortcut function is a function for omitting a part of text related to an event. For example, in the main part, an event occurs in which the main character and another game character have a conversation, and text indicating the conversation may be displayed. However, if the shortcut function is set to ON, a part of the text may be displayed. Is omitted. The user can turn on / off the shortcut function by selecting the processing object P824.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, the main command screen image G800 includes a hero ability area A830. In the hero ability area A830, values of various basic ability parameters of the hero character are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the values of the trajectory parameter, the meet parameter, the power parameter, the running parameter, the shoulder parameter, and the defensive parameter of the main character are displayed.

  The trajectory parameter indicates how high the hero character's hit ball rises. The higher the value of the trajectory parameter, the higher the hit ball. The meet parameter indicates the meet power of the main character (the ability to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher). The higher the value of the meet parameter, the higher the meet force. The power parameter indicates the power of the hero character (the ability to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher with a bat to fly it far). A higher value of the power parameter indicates that the ball hit with the bat is more likely to fly farther.

  The running parameter indicates the speed of the hero character's foot. The higher the value of the running power parameter, the faster the foot. The shoulder strength parameter indicates the speed at which the hero character throws the ball. The higher the value of the shoulder force parameter, the faster the throw. The defense parameter indicates the skill of the hero character's defense. The higher the value of the defense parameter, the better the defense.

  Since the example shown in FIG. 12 shows a case where the hero character is a fielder, the basic ability parameters relating to the fielder ability are displayed in the hero ability area A830. When the hero character is a pitcher, for example, basic ability parameters related to the pitcher ability such as a ball speed parameter, a control parameter, and a stamina parameter are displayed in the hero ability area A830.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the main command screen image G800 includes a command area A840. In the command area A840, processing objects P841, P842, P843, P844, P845, and P846 are displayed.

  The processing object P841 is associated with processing for causing the hero character to practice, and the user can cause the hero character to practice by selecting the processing object P841. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 13 and 14).

  The processing object P842 is associated with a process of resting the main character, and the user can rest the main character by selecting the processing object P842. Resting the main character increases (recovers) the physical strength parameter of the main character.

  The process of making the hero character go to the hospital is associated with the processing object P843, and the user can make the hero character go to the hospital by selecting the processing object P843. For example, when the hero character becomes sick or has a malfunction, the sickness or the malfunction can be cured by passing the hero character to the hospital.

  The processing object P844 is associated with a process of playing the hero character, and the user can play the hero character by selecting the processing object P844. When the main character is made to play, the motivation parameter of the main character increases.

  The process object P845 is associated with a process for causing the hero character to perform a date. By selecting the process object P845, the user can cause the hero character to perform a date.

  The process object P846 is associated with a process for improving the ability of the main character, and the user can improve the ability of the main character by selecting the process object P846. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 16 and 17).

  FIG. 13 shows an example of the practice screen image. The practice screen image G900 shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the display unit 15 when the processing object P841 of the main command screen image G800 is selected. Note that the upper area A910 of the practice screen image G900 is the same as the upper area A810 of the main command screen image G800, and a description thereof will not be repeated.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the practice screen image G900 includes a command area A920. In the command area A920, a plurality of processing objects P921, P922, P923, P924, P925, and P926 corresponding to a plurality of practice items are displayed. These processing objects P921 to P926 are associated with processing for causing the hero character to perform various exercises.

  The process object P921 is associated with a process of causing the hero character to perform a hitting practice. A process for causing the hero character to perform strength training is associated with the processing object P922. The processing object P923 is associated with processing for causing the hero character to perform a base running practice. A process for causing the hero character to perform shoulder strength training is associated with the processing object P924. A process for causing the hero character to perform defense practice is associated with the processing object P925. The processing object P926 is associated with processing for causing the hero character to perform mental training.

  For example, when the hero character wants to perform base running practice, the user first selects the processing object P923. In this case, the processing object P923 is temporarily selected. In this state, the processing object P923 is displayed as distinguished from the other processing objects P921, P922, and P924 to P926, indicating that the processing object P923 is temporarily selected. In the example illustrated in FIG. 13, the position of the processing object P923 in the screen vertical direction is different from the other processing objects P921, P922, and P924 to P926, and the cursor object C927 is associated with the processing object P923. In this state, the probability of injuries during base practice is displayed in association with the processing object P923. This probability is determined based on the value of the physical strength parameter of the main character. The smaller the value of the physical strength parameter of the hero character, the higher the probability of injury during practice.

  The practice screen image G900 also includes an experience point area A930. In the experience point area A930, the experience points of the main character (that is, the experience points currently held by the main character) are displayed.

  In the present embodiment, five types of experience points are set: strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, and mental points. FIG. 13 shows a case where the strength point, the agility point, the skill point, the changing ball point, and the mental point of the main character are 3 points, 5 points, 4 points, 0 points, and 0 points, respectively.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, “+4” and “+15” are displayed in association with the strength point and the agility point, respectively. This indicates that, when the temporarily selected practice item (running practice) is executed, the hero's strength point increases by 4 points and the agility point increases by 15 points.

  In the present embodiment, for each practice item, the types of experience points that increase when the practice is performed and the amount of increase are determined. As described above, when the base practice is performed, the strength points and the agility points are increased. Further, for example, when the batting practice is performed, the strength points, the skill points, and the mental points increase.

  A level is set for each practice item. The level of the practice item increases when the number of times the practice has been performed reaches a predetermined number. The higher the level of the practice item, the greater the increase in the number of experience points when the practice is performed.

  The practice screen image G900 also includes a game character area A940. In the present embodiment, game characters (teammates, managers, coaches, managers) other than the main character are assigned to each practice item, and the game characters other than the main character perform or practice any practice. It is directed to. In this regard, the game character assigned to the temporarily selected practice item is displayed in the game character area A940. Note that the game character assigned to each practice item changes for each turn.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, since the base practice is temporarily selected, the game character assigned to the base practice is displayed in the game character area A940.

  In the game character area A940, a gauge area A941 is displayed in association with the game character. This gauge area A941 indicates the evaluation of the main character of the game character. The longer the gauge in the gauge area A941, the higher the evaluation of the game character with respect to the main character. As will be described later, when the hero character performs a special practice assigned to the game character (that is, when the hero character performs the same exercise as the game character), the evaluation of the hero character of the game character increases (FIG. 14).

  In the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, "initial evaluation 15" is set as the event bonus of the event character. The event bonus "initial evaluation 15" indicates that the evaluation of the event character with respect to the main character is initially set to a value (15) higher than the normal value (0) at the start of the main part.

  The example shown in FIG. 13 shows a case where the event character (arrow) incorporated in the event deck is assigned to the base practice. In other words, a case is shown in which the event character (arrow part) incorporated in the event deck is practicing a base run together with the hero character as a teammate.

  The practice item (running base) displayed in association with the event character indicates the special practice of the event character. For this reason, the example shown in FIG. 13 shows a case where the event character is assigned to its own practice (base run practice). In other words, this shows a case where the event character is practicing his / her specialty (running practice).

  In such a case, if the hero character performs base running practice, the amount of increase in the number of experience points increases as compared with the normal case. In short, when the hero character practices the event character together with the event character, the amount of experience points increases as compared with the normal case. That is, in the turn in which the event character set as base practice is assigned to the base practice, the increase in the experience points due to the hero character performing the base practice is determined as the base practice. The number of set event characters increases as compared to turns not assigned to base practice.

  Also, in the above case, if the hero character performs base running practice, a special tag bonus event may occur if the evaluation of the hero character of the event character is higher than a predetermined reference. When the special tag bonus event has occurred, the amount of increase in the number of experience points is greater than when the special tag bonus event has not occurred. As described above, when the protagonist character performs the special practice of the event character together with the event character that highly evaluates the protagonist character, the amount of increase in the experience point is further increased.

  In the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, “special tag bonus 20%” is set as the event bonus of the event character. The event bonus “special tag bonus 20%” indicates that the amount of increase in experience points increases by 20% when a special tag bonus event occurs.

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, the event character is assigned to the same practice item as its own good practice, but the event character is not always assigned to the same practice item as its own good practice. May be assigned to a different practice item. Which practice item the event character is assigned to is determined for each turn based on predetermined probability information.

  In this regard, in the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, “special practice rate up 10%” is set as the event bonus of the event character. The event bonus “10% increase in the rate of good practice” indicates that the probability of the event character being assigned to his / her special practice increases by 10%, and the event character is more likely to be assigned to his / her good practice.

  When the user further selects the processing object P923 in a state where the base practice is temporarily selected (that is, a state in which the cursor object C927 points to the processing object P923), the base practice is determined as a practice item to be performed by the main character. , The hero character practice base run.

  Note that the practice screen image G900 also includes the processing object P950. The processing for returning to the screen image displayed immediately before is associated with the processing object P950. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P950, the main command screen image G800 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of the practice result screen image. When one of the practice items is determined as the practice item to be performed by the hero character, the practice result screen image G1000 shown in FIG. Note that the upper area A1010 and the lower area A1020 of the practice result screen image G1000 are the same as the upper area A810 and the lower area A820 of the main command screen image G800, and thus description thereof will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the exercise result screen image G1000 includes a text area A1030. A text indicating the hero character's practice result is displayed in text area A1030. That is, text indicating the content of changes in various parameters due to the practice of the main character is displayed in text area A1030.

  FIG. 14 shows a practice result screen image G1000 displayed when base running practice is selected in the state shown in FIG. 13 (that is, when the processing object P923 is selected). In the text area A1030 shown in FIG. 14, the hero character practiced a base run, the strength points increased by 4 points, the agility points increased by 15 points, the physical strength parameters decreased by 25 points, and This shows that the evaluation of the assigned event character (arrow) for the main character has increased by 7 points.

  In this embodiment, a treasure chest discovery event is generated based on predetermined probability information when the hero character practices. As described above, the treasure chest discovery event is an event in which a dog finds and carries a treasure chest. When the treasure box discovery event occurs, as shown in FIG. 14, the dog character C1040 that has found the treasure box is displayed on the practice result screen image G1000.

  In each turn of the main part, an event related to the event character also occurs based on predetermined probability information. For example, an event occurs in which the protagonist character has a conversation with the event character or performs special training together with the event character.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of the event screen image. The event screen image G1100 shown in FIG. 15 is displayed on the display unit 15 when an event related to the event character has occurred. Note that the upper area A1110 and the lower area A1120 of the event screen image G1100 are the same as the upper area A810 and the lower area A820 of the main command screen image G800, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  The event screen image G1100 indicates that an event related to the event character has occurred. The event screen image G1100 includes an event information area A1130, and information (an event name or the like) on the event that has occurred is displayed in the event information area A1130. The event character C1140 on which the event occurred is also displayed on the event screen image G1100.

  The event screen image G1100 also includes a text area A1150. For example, text indicating a conversation between the main character and the event character is displayed in text area A1150. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 15, text indicating the change of various parameters due to the occurrence of the event is displayed in text area A1150. More specifically, the text area A1150 includes, for example, tips for improving the experience points for improving the abilities of the hero character due to the occurrence of the event, and tips for the hero character to acquire special abilities. It shows that you grabbed it. The special ability to get a lot of experience points and tips is affected by the ability and level of the event character. For example, as the numerical value of the event bonus shown in the second tab T422 of the event character screen image G400 in FIG. 7 is larger, the numerical value and the like shown in the text area A1150 are larger. Alternatively, the numerical value or the like shown in the text area A1150 may be increased as the rarity of each event character increases. Furthermore, when the practice selected by the user is the same as the good practice of the event character that has appeared in the event, the numerical value or the like shown in the text area A1150 may be increased.

  In the main part, not only an event generated based on the probability information but also an event which always occurs at a timing when the degree of progress of the game reaches a reference may be provided. For example, a predetermined event (for example, a match event or the like) may always be generated when the scenario has progressed to 10, 20, or 30 turns.

  16 and 17 show examples of the ability change screen image. The ability change screen image G1200 shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 is a screen image for improving the ability of the main character, and is displayed on the display unit 15 when the processing object P846 of the main command screen image G800 is selected.

  The ability change screen image G1200 includes a first area A1210 and a second area A1220. The first area A1210 includes a pitcher ability tab T1211 and a fielder ability tab T1212. In the pitcher ability tab T1211, the changed content of the basic ability parameter related to the pitcher ability is displayed, and in the fielder ability tab T1212, the changed content of the basic ability parameter related to the fielder ability is displayed.

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the fielder ability tab T1212 includes a ballistic parameter, a meet parameter, a power parameter, a running force parameter, a shoulder strength parameter, a defensive force parameter, and a ball catching parameter, which are basic ability parameters related to the fielder ability. Are displayed before and after the change. The trajectory parameters, the meet parameters, the power parameters, the running parameters, the shoulder parameters, and the defensive parameters are as described above (see FIG. 12). The catching parameter indicates the skill of the hero character in catching the ball. The higher the value of the ball catching parameter, the more skillful the ball catching (the less error prone).

  The second area A1220 includes a basic ability tab T1221 and a special ability tab T1222. As shown in FIG. 16, the basic ability tab T1221 displays experience points (muscle strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, mental points) currently held by the hero character. FIG. 16 shows a state in which the hero character currently has 27 points, 20 points, 24 points, 0 points, and 0 points of strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, and mental points, respectively. .

  On the basic ability tab T1221, the basic character's basic ability parameters (ballistic parameters, meet parameters, power parameters, running parameters, shoulder strength parameters, Defense parameter, ball catching parameter) can be increased.

  Further, in the basic ability tab T1221, the ability value required to raise the value of the basic ability parameter by one point from the current value is displayed in association with each basic ability parameter. The basic ability tab T1221 illustrated in FIG. 16 indicates that, for example, to increase the value of the trajectory parameter by one point from the current value, each of the muscle strength point, the skill point, and the mental point requires 30 points. Further, for example, it is shown that two points of muscle strength points, agility points, and technical points are required to increase the value of the shoulder strength parameter by one point from the current value.

  Further, in the basic ability tab T1221, processing objects P1223-1, P1223-2, P1223-3, P1223-4, P1223-5, P1223-6, and P1223-7 are displayed in association with each basic ability parameter. .

  For example, the processing object P1223-1 is associated with a trajectory parameter, and the processing object P1223-1 is associated with a process for raising the trajectory parameter by one point in exchange for a predetermined experience point. By selecting the processing object P1223-1, the user can increase the trajectory parameter by one point from the current value in exchange for the strength point: 30, the skill point: 30, and the mental point: 30. . For example, if the hero character has all of these experience points, when the user selects the processing object P1223-1, the trajectory parameter is increased by one point, and the necessary experience points are increased by one point. It is subtracted from the “current experience point” of the two regions A1220. That is, if the hero character has sufficient experience points, each time the user selects the processing object P1223-1, the trajectory parameter gradually increases by one point, and the necessary experience points are set to the second points. It is gradually subtracted from the “current experience point” in the area A1220. However, as a matter of course, if the hero character does not have all of these experience points, the trajectory parameters cannot be increased. For example, even if the player has 40 muscle points and 70 technical points, the ballistic parameters cannot be increased if the mental points are 10 points. As described above, the user may be notified of a parameter that cannot be increased because the number of experience points is insufficient. For example, in the first area A1210 and the second area A1220, the name of the corresponding parameter or the brightness of the entire line may be reduced.

  If the value of the trajectory parameter has increased by one point as a result of the user selecting the processing object P1223-1, the fact is displayed in the first area A1210.

  Further, like the processing object P1223-1, the other processing objects P1223-2 to P1223-7 are respectively associated with the meet parameter, the power parameter, the running force parameter, the shoulder force parameter, the defense parameter, and the catching parameter. In other words, a process for increasing these parameters by one point in exchange for a predetermined experience point is associated.

  When the user selects the special ability tab T1222 from the state shown in FIG. 16, the state switches to the state shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, also on the special ability tab T1222, experience points (muscle strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, mental points) currently held by the main character are displayed. Like FIG. 16, FIG. 17 shows that the hero character currently has 27 points, 20 points, 24 points, 0 points, and 0 points of strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, and mental points, respectively. The state is shown.

  In the special ability tab T1222, the main character can acquire the special ability in exchange for part or all of the experience points currently held by the main character. That is, in the special ability tab T1222, the special ability parameter of the main character can be changed in exchange for some or all of the experience points currently held by the main character. Here, the special ability parameter is a parameter indicating whether or not the hero character has acquired various special abilities.

  In the example shown in FIG. 16, as special abilities that the hero character can acquire, “chance ○”, “left pitcher ○”, “stealth base ○”, “running base ○”, “throwing ball ○”, “injury difficulty” ◎ ”and“ Average hitter ”are displayed.

  “Chance ○” is a special ability that is strong against chance. If the hero character has acquired “chance ○”, the basic abilities of the hero character are increased at the time of a chance. “O-Left pitcher ○” is a special ability that is strong against left pitchers. If the hero character has acquired “to the left pitcher ○”, the basic abilities of the hero character are high when the opposing pitcher is the left pitcher. “Stealing ○” is a special ability that stealing is successful. If the hero character has acquired “stolen base ○”, the hero character is likely to succeed in stealing the base.

  “Throwing ○” is a special ability that makes it difficult to throw a ball. If the protagonist character has mastered "Throwing ○", it will be difficult for the protagonist character to throw the ball. "Injury difficult ◎" is a special ability that rarely injuries. If the protagonist character has acquired "Injury difficulty ◎", the protagonist character rarely gets hurt. "Average hitter" is a special ability that makes it easier to hit hit balls. If the hero character has acquired “average hitter”, the hero character can easily hit.

  Further, in the special ability tab T1222, in association with each special ability, an ability value necessary for causing the hero character to acquire the special ability is displayed. The special ability tab T1222 shown in FIG. 17 indicates that, for example, 15 points, 30 points, and 105 points of agility points, technical points, and mental points are required to make the hero character acquire “chance ○”. Have been. Further, for example, it is shown that 48 points of muscle strength points, agility points, and technical points are required in order for the hero character to acquire “throwing ball ○”.

  It should be noted that for the special abilities the hero character has already acquired, it is displayed that it has been acquired. In the special ability tab T1222 shown in FIG. 17, it is displayed that "injury difficulty ◎" has been acquired.

  Further, on the special ability tab T1222, processing objects P1224-1, P1224-2, P1224-3, P1224-4, P1224-5, and P1224-6 are displayed in association with each special ability.

  For example, the processing object P1224-1 is associated with “chance ○”, and the processing object P1224-1 is associated with processing for causing the hero character to acquire “chance ○” in exchange for a predetermined experience point. ing. By selecting the processing object P1224-1, the hero character can acquire “chance ○” by exchanging 15 points for agility points, 30 points for technical points, and 105 points for mental points. However, as a matter of course, if the hero character does not have these experience points, the hero character cannot acquire “chance ○”.

  Note that, similarly to the processing object P1224-1, the other processing objects P1224-2 to P1224-6 are "left pitcher ○", "stolen base ○", "running base ○", "throwing ball ○", "average", respectively. And a process for causing the hero character to acquire these special abilities in exchange for a predetermined experience point. Further, since the hero character has already acquired the special ability of “injury difficulty ◎”, no processing object is associated with “injury difficulty ◎”.

  In the example shown in FIG. 17, “Lv. 1” is displayed in association with “running base ○”. Here, “Lv.1” indicates the knack level of “running base ○”.

  The knuckle level indicates whether or not the hero character has a knack for acquiring a special ability, and the degree of the knuckle that the hero character has caught. The case where the knack level is 1 or more is a case where the hero character has a knack for acquiring the special ability, and indicates that the higher the knuckle level, the greater the degree of the knuckle caught by the hero character.

  The higher the knack level, the less experience points are required to acquire special abilities to the main character. In the state shown in FIG. 17, the number of experience points required to acquire “running base ○” for the main character is smaller than usual.

  At the beginning of the main part, the trick level of each special ability is set to zero. For example, in the main part, an event (knock event) in which the event character teaches the hero character the knack of the special ability may occur. When such a knack event occurs, the knack level of the special ability increases ( See FIG. 15).

  Note that, in the event character screen image G400 shown in FIG. 7, "knob event bonus 20%" is set as the event bonus of the event character. When the above-mentioned knack event occurs, the knack level of the special ability increases, and the experience point of the hero character related to the special ability increases. The event bonus “knob event bonus 20%” indicates that in such a case, the amount of increase in experience points is 20% larger than usual.

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the ability change screen image G1200 includes a processing object P1230. A process for returning to the screen image displayed immediately before is associated with the processing object P1230. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P1230, the main command screen image G800 is displayed on the display unit 15.

  The ability change screen image G1200 also includes a processing object P1240. The process object P1240 is associated with a process for canceling the change of the hero character's ability and returning to the state before the change. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P1240, the ability of the main character returns to the state before the change.

  The ability change screen image G1200 also includes a processing object P1250. The processing object P1250 is associated with processing for determining a change in the ability of the main character. Therefore, when the user selects the processing object P1250, the ability of the hero character is determined in the state after the change.

  When each section is completed, a section completion screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. FIG. 18 shows an example of the section completion screen.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the ongoing scenario (for example, A high school) and the completed section (for example, section 2) are displayed on the section completion screen image G1300. The section completion screen image G1300 also displays experience points (total experience points) obtained so far and experience points (section experience points) obtained in completed sections. Further, the section completion screen image G1300 also displays rewards (for example, coins and game items) obtained in the section.

  After the section completion screen image G1300 is displayed and before the next section is started, the next notice screen image may be displayed next time. FIG. 19 shows an example of the next notice screen image.

  In this embodiment, after the section completion screen image G1300 is displayed and before the next section is started, an event in which the treasure chest discovery probability in the next section is higher than usual occurs based on the predetermined probability information. I do. When the above event has occurred, a notice screen image G1400 as shown in FIG. 19 is displayed, and the user is notified that the above event has occurred.

  When the four sections of the success part are completed as described above, the cultivation of the main character is completed, and the character can be used as an original character in a game in the stadium part. For example, when the fourth section is completed, a screen image for determining the ability parameter of the main character is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user uses the remaining experience points to change the ability parameter of the main character. Increase or gain special abilities. Further, in this screen image, the appearance of the main character may be changed. Then, when the user performs a predetermined determination operation, the ability parameters of the main character are determined and registered as original characters owned by the user. When registered as an original character, the user cannot change the ability parameters. Thereafter, the user can check the ability parameters and the like of the newly registered original character, and can participate in a game in addition to an order described later.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the main part is composed of four sections, and each section is composed of twelve turns, and when the user tries to execute all the turns continuously, a corresponding time is required. It takes time and effort. For this reason, in the present embodiment, by dividing the main part into four sections, it is possible to give motivation to end the game once or take a break at the end of the section, and the user plays the success part It has become possible to reduce the difficulty of the case. Further, by dividing the main part into a plurality of sections, the next section can be branched at the end of the section, thereby diversifying the game play.

  The user will play four sections when cultivating the hero character. As shown in FIG. 18, when the section is cleared, information such as the experience points is notified to the user in the section completion screen image G1300. Therefore, even if the game includes a relatively large number of turns, such as a success part, the user can play the game without getting bored or feeling delayed. That is, when the user is notified of information such as experience points for the first time after the end of the success part, the user cannot fully grasp the breeding status of the hero character in the middle of the success part, and becomes tired in the middle. If the user is notified of experience points or the like at the end of the section, the user can be notified of the breeding situation frequently, so that it is possible to prevent the user from getting tired or feeling prolonged on the way. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19, in the preview screen image G1400, an announcement regarding the next section can be made, so that the user can be motivated to try the next section, and the user can successfully access the next section. A situation in which a part is interrupted can be avoided.

  Next, before explaining the stadium part, a process for confirming an event character owned by the user, formation of an event deck, and the like will be described.

  When the user selects the processing object P123 in the home screen image G100 or the like shown in FIG. 2, an event character menu screen image for performing various operations related to the event character is displayed on the display unit 15. FIG. 20 shows an example of the event character menu screen image. The upper area A1510, lower area A1520, and processing object P130 in the event character menu screen image G1500 shown in FIG. 20 are the same as the upper area A110, lower area A120, and processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. Here, the description is omitted. The processing object P1530 in the event character menu screen image G1500 is for returning to the screen image displayed immediately before (that is, the home screen image G100), like the processing object P230 in the hero registration screen image G200. is there.

  Event character menu screen image G1500 shown in FIG. 20 includes processing objects P1540 to P1590. The process object P1540 is associated with a process for organizing an event deck. When the user selects the processing object P1540, an event deck edit screen image for editing the event deck is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 21 is an example of the event deck edit screen image. Note that the upper area A1610, the lower area A1620, and the processing object P130 in the event deck editing screen image G1600 shown in FIG. 21 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. Here, the description is omitted. The processing object P1630 in the event deck editing screen image G1600 is similar to the processing object P230 in the hero registration screen image G200, and is used to return to the screen image displayed immediately before (that is, the event character menu screen image G1500). Things.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the event deck editing screen image G1600 includes an event deck editing area A1640. In FIG. 21, the contents displayed in the event deck editing area A1640 are omitted, and the contents displayed in the event deck editing area A1640 are shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 22, areas A1641, A1642 processing objects P1642 and P1643, setting frames A1644-1 to A16444-5, and good practice area A1646 of the event deck editing screen image G1600 are respectively included in the event deck setting screen image G300. The areas are the same as the areas A341 and A342, the processing objects P342 and P343, the setting frames A344-1 to A344-5, and the specialty training area A346, and thus description thereof is omitted here. However, since the event deck edit screen image G1600 is not before the start of the success part, an image corresponding to the setting frame A345 for incorporating a helper into the event deck is not provided.

  In the present embodiment, the user can own a plurality of (for example, five) event decks. The number of event decks owned by the user may be fixed, or may be increased by consuming power stones. Further, by completing the training of the main character in the success part, the number of event decks may be increased. For example, the event deck may be increased by one when the user completes the training of a predetermined number (for example, three) of the main characters, or the event deck may be increased by one when the user completes the training of one main character. May be increased by one. At this time, an upper limit (for example, up to seven) may be provided for the number of event decks. At the start of the game, the number of event decks given to the user may be set to, for example, 1, and may be gradually increased by the above processing. In the event deck editing screen image G1600, each of the plurality of event decks can be edited. For example, the user sets an event character that is good at practicing fielders on an event deck for cultivating fielders, and an event deck for cultivating pitchers is good at practicing pitchers. Set an event character. Furthermore, it is also possible to use only the event character of a girl on the event deck or only the event character of a boy on the event deck, depending on the hero character development policy and the type of scenario in the success part. It can be used properly. Further, for example, the user sets a special-effect character, which will be described in detail later, in an event deck used in the limited-time event.

  Returning to FIG. 20, the processing object P1560 is associated with processing for selling the event character. When the user selects the processing object P1560, unnecessary event characters can be sold and coins can be obtained. The sold event character is not sold to another user, but is simply deleted from the list owned by the user. That is, “sale” here means that the event character is released in exchange for the coin.

  The process object P1570 is associated with a process for confirming a list of event characters owned by the user. When the user selects the processing object P1570, a list of event characters owned by the user is displayed on the display unit 15. For example, when the user selects the processing object of the event character displayed in the event character list, the event character screen image G400 can be displayed.

  The process object P1580 is associated with a process for checking the picture book of the event character. The picture book is a list of event characters existing in the game. When the user selects the processing object P1580, a pictorial book is displayed on the display unit 15. In the illustrated book, the event character that the user has owned and the event character that has not yet owned the user can be distinguished. In the illustrated book, information (for example, an image or a name) of an event character that has not yet been owned may be hidden.

  The process object P1590 is associated with a process for expanding the event character list. In the present embodiment, an upper limit is set for the number of event characters that can be owned by the user. For example, the user can increase the maximum number of event characters that the user can possess by consuming power stones.

  The process object P1550 is associated with a process for enhancing the event character. Here, the enhancement is to increase the level of the event character, which is different from the training of the main character in the success part. The strengthening of the event character is performed in order to improve the effect generated in the success part when the event character is set on the event deck (that is, to efficiently train the hero character). In the present embodiment, the synthesis of a so-called game character is performed. That is, an event character to be enhanced (hereinafter, referred to as a base character) can be enhanced by consuming another event character (hereinafter, referred to as a material character). When the user selects the processing object P1540, a base character selection screen image for selecting a base character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 23 shows an example of a base character selection screen image. Note that the upper area A1710, the lower area A1720, and the processing object P130 in the base character selection screen image G1700 shown in FIG. 23 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. Here, the description is omitted. The processing object P1730 in the base character selection screen image G1700 is similar to the processing object P230 in the hero registration screen image G200, and is used to return to the screen image displayed immediately before (that is, the event character menu screen image G1500). Things.

  The base character selection screen image G1700 includes an event character list area A1740. The event character list area A1740 is similar to the event character list area A640 of the event character change screen image G600. When the user selects any of the event characters displayed in the event character list area A1740 as the base character, an enhanced screen image for enhancing the base character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 24 shows an example of the enhancement screen image. Here, an enhanced screen image G1800 displayed when “Hayakawa” having the rarity “R” is selected as the base character is shown. Note that the upper region A1810, the lower region A1820, and the processing object P130 in the enhanced screen image G1800 shown in FIG. 24 are the same as the upper region A110, the lower region A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. Description is omitted. The processing object P1830 in the enhanced screen image G1800 is for returning to the screen image displayed immediately before (that is, the base character selection screen image G1700), like the processing object P230 in the hero registration screen image G200. is there.

  In the example shown in FIG. 24, base character area A1840 includes gauge area A1841. In the gauge area A1841, the current experience value of the base character and the acquired experience value required for the next level can be identified.

  In the material character area A1850, ten setting frames for setting a material character are provided. When the user selects any of the setting frames of the material character area A1850, a material character selection screen image for selecting a material character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 25 shows an example of the material character selection screen image. The upper area A1910, lower area A1920, and processing object P130 in the material character selection screen image G1900 shown in FIG. 25 are the same as the upper area A110, lower area A120, and processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. Here, the description is omitted. The processing object P1930 in the material character selection screen image G1900 is for returning to the screen image displayed immediately before (that is, the enhanced screen image G1800), similarly to the processing object P230 in the hero registration screen image G200. is there.

  In the example shown in FIG. 25, the material character selection screen image G1900 includes an event character list area A1940. The event character list area A1940 is similar to the event character list area A640 of the event character change screen image G600. However, as shown in FIG. 25, among the event characters owned by the user, those other than the base character are displayed in the event character list area A1940. Further, an event character set on the event deck (an event character displayed as “in use” in FIG. 25) or a locked event character may not be selected as a material character.

  In this embodiment, when the same event character as the base character is set as the material character, the highest level of the base character can be increased with a given probability. In the event character list area A1940, this probability is displayed over the event character. For example, when "Hayakawa" with a rarity of "R" is selected as a material character, the highest level of the base character "Hayakawa" increases with a probability of 100%, and "Hayakawa" with a rarity of "PN" is selected as a material character. Then, the highest level of the base character "Hayakawa" increases with a probability of 30%. In the present embodiment, the probability of the highest level increasing is determined based on the rarity of the base character and the rarity of the material character. Stated another way, the probability of the highest level increasing is determined based on the relative rarity difference between the base character and the material character. For example, when a material character having the same or higher rarity as the rarity of the base character is selected, the probability is 100%. When a material character having a rarity lower than the rarity of the base character is selected, the probability is less than 100%. For example, for a material character having a rarity lower than that of the base character by two or more levels, the probability of the highest level increasing may be 0% even if the material character has the same name as the base character. Further, for example, the higher the rarity of the base character, the lower the probability may be. In this way, the probability that the highest level increases for a heavy user who has a high-rare base character can be reduced. Note that the higher the rarity of the material character, the higher the probability may be. Further, although the highest level increases by one, the probability may increase as the current highest level increases from the initial value. That is, the higher the number of times that the highest level of the base character has increased, the higher the probability that the highest level in the future may increase.

  The user selects 10 or less from the event characters displayed in the event character list area A1940 as material characters. Here, a case where a plurality of material characters can be selected at once in the event character list area A1940 will be described, but material characters may be selected one by one. Further, when the event character already selected as the material character is selected again, the selection as the material character can be released.

  The material character selection screen image G1900 includes an area A1950 for displaying a level that increases when the base character is enhanced with the currently selected material character and coins required for enhancement. The experience value that the base character can obtain depends on the material character. For example, the higher the rarity of the material character, the more experience values and coins that can be acquired. By calculating the experience value and the required coins that can be obtained with the currently selected material character, the level and the coin indicated in the area A1950 are calculated. When the user selects or removes a material character from event character list area A1940, the display of area A1950 is updated.

  The material character selection screen image G1900 includes processing objects P1960 and P1970. The process object P1970 is associated with a process of releasing the selection of the material character. When the user selects the processing object P1970, all the selections of the material characters are released, and the selection of the material characters can be performed again. On the other hand, the processing object P1960 is associated with processing for completing the selection of the material character. When the user selects the processing object P1960, the process returns to the enhanced screen image G1800.

  FIG. 26 shows an enhanced screen image G1800 when a material character is selected. As shown in FIG. 26, in the material character area 1850, the material character selected in the event character list area A1940 of the material character selection screen image G1900 is displayed. In the example of FIG. 26, the same two characters “Hayakawa” and “Tsuruya” as the base character are selected as material characters. As shown in FIG. 26, the maximum level of the base character "Hayakawa" can be increased by using the two "Hayakawa" material characters, and the probability is displayed so as to be superimposed on the "Hayakawa" material character. ing. On the other hand, the probability is not displayed for "Tsuruya" because the highest level of "Hayakawa" cannot be increased even if it is used as a material character instead of "Hayakawa" as the base character. In this way, in the material character area 1850, before strengthening the base character, a material character whose maximum level can be increased and a material character whose maximum level cannot be increased can be identified. Further, the probability can be identified. When the user selects the material character, similarly to the area A1950, the level which increases when the base character is enhanced with the current material character and the coins necessary for the enhancement are displayed in the base character area A1840. ing.

  Further, enhanced screen image G1800 includes processing objects P1860 and P1870. The process object P1870 is associated with a process of releasing the selection of the material character. When the user selects the processing object P1870, the selection of the material character is released, and the selection of the material character can be performed again. On the other hand, the processing object P1860 is associated with processing for executing enhancement of the base character. When the user selects the processing object P1860, an enhanced result window for displaying the enhanced result of the base character is displayed on the display unit 15 after a predetermined screen effect is executed. If the number of coins owned by the user is smaller than the number of coins required for enhancing the base character, the enhancement is not performed even if the user selects the processing object P1860. In this case, the processing object P1860 may be grayed out and cannot be selected.

  FIG. 27 shows the enhancement result window. As shown in FIG. 27, the experience value acquired by the base character, a change in the level of the base character, a change in the highest level of the base character, and the like are displayed in the enhancement result window G2000. In the example shown in FIG. 27, the base character is at the level indicated by the base character area A1840. Further, when there are a plurality of material characters capable of increasing the highest level of the base character, it is determined whether or not it is possible to increase the highest level for each of the plurality of material characters based on a predetermined probability. Is done. Here, since "Hayakawa" with a probability of increasing the highest level of the base character of 100% and Hayakawa of 30% are selected as the material characters, the highest level of the base character surely increases by 1 and a probability of 30%. Then, the value is further increased by one. In the example shown in FIG. 27, 30% of "Hayakawa" is also successful, and the highest level of the base character is increased by two.

  The process object P2010 is associated with a process for returning to the enhanced screen image G1800. In addition, when the user selects the processing object P2010, the user may directly return to the enhancement screen image G1800, or when the processing object P441 is selected after the event character screen image G400 of the base character is displayed, the enhancement screen may be displayed. The process may return to the image G1800.

  Next, the stadium part will be described. In the stadium part, the user can play a match using the original characters cultivated in the success part. The stadium part includes a game that can be played in any period (hereinafter, a normal game) and a game that can be played for a limited time (hereinafter, a game of a limited-time event).

  The user edits the order of the match when playing the match in the stadium part. The order refers to a combination of original characters participating in a game among original characters owned by the user. Here, an order in a normal game and an order in a game for a limited time event can be edited. When the user selects the processing object P122 in the home screen image G100 in FIG. 2 or the like, a my team menu screen image for editing an order is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 28 shows a my team menu screen image. Note that the upper area A2110, the lower area A2120, and the processing object P130 in the my team menu screen image G2100 shown in FIG. 28 are the same as the upper area A110, the lower area A120, and the processing object P130 in the home screen image G100. Here, the description is omitted. The processing object P2130 in the my team menu screen image G2100 is for returning to the screen image displayed immediately before (that is, the home screen image G100 or the like), like the processing object P230 in the hero registration screen image G200. It is.

  My team menu screen image G2100 shown in FIG. 28 includes processing objects P2140 to P2170. The process object P2140 is associated with a process for editing an order in a normal match. When the user selects the processing object P2040, a normal order edit screen image for editing an order in a normal game is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 29 shows a normal order edit screen image. As shown in FIG. 29, the normal order editing screen image G2200 includes a starting order area A2210 and a reserve player area A2220. The starting order area A2210 is for designating an original character of a starting order that appears at the start of a match among original characters owned by the user. The reserve player area A2220 is for designating a reserve original character that does not participate in the game at the start of the game but can enter from the middle of the original characters owned by the user.

  When the user taps the original character displayed in starting order area A2210 and substitute player area A2220, an outline of the ability of the original character may be displayed. Further, when the user long-presses the original character displayed in the starting order area A2210 and the reserve player area A2220, details such as the ability of the original character may be displayed.

  For example, when the user drags and drops the original character displayed in the starting order area A2210 into the reserve player area A2220, the original character is displayed in the reserve player area A2220, and the dropped destination original character is displayed in the starting order area A2210. Will be displayed. Conversely, when the user drags and drops the original character displayed in the reserve player area A2220 into the starting order area A2210, the original character is displayed in the starting order area A2210, and the dropped destination original character is replaced with the substitute player area. A2220. In this manner, the user can exchange the original character of the starting order with the original character of the copy.

  Also, for example, when the user drags and drops the original character displayed in either the starting order area A2210 or the reserve player area A2220 to the drag area A2230, a list of the original characters other than the starting order and the reserve is displayed. The screen image is displayed on the display unit 15. When the user selects an original character to be placed in the order from this screen image, the original character can be replaced with the original character dropped in the drag area A2230.

  The processing object P2240 is associated with processing for automatically setting an order. When the user selects the processing object P2240, an order is automatically set so as to be an optimal combination among the original characters owned by the user. For example, an order is automatically set so that an original character having a high ability parameter enters the order with priority. Also, for example, the order is automatically set so that the original character enters the order in descending order of the total number of experience points acquired in the success part.

  The process object P2250 is associated with a process for returning the order to the original state. The original state is a point in the normal order edit screen image G2200 before an order is changed. When the user selects the processing object P2250, the process returns to the order at the time of displaying the normal order edit screen image G2200.

  The total force area A2260 indicates the total force in the current order. The meaning of the total power is the same as that described in the area A115 of the home screen image G100. That is, the total strength is a value calculated from the ability parameter of the original character included in the order, and the higher this value is, the easier it is to win the game. When the order is changed, the numerical value indicated by the total force area A2260 also changes.

  The processing object P2270 is associated with processing for setting a pitcher appointment method. When the user selects the processing object P2270, a screen image for setting a pitcher activation method among the original characters owned by the user is displayed on the display unit 15. In this screen image, among the pitcher's original characters, an original character that can participate in the game can be designated. Further, among the original characters that can participate in the game, appointment methods (starter / relay / suppress) as pitchers can be designated. Alternatively, when a pitching interval must be provided by a predetermined number of games in order to participate in a game as a pitcher, the next available game is displayed.

  The processing object P2280 is for returning to the screen image displayed immediately before (that is, the my team menu screen image G2100), similarly to the processing object P230 in the hero registration screen image G200.

  Returning to FIG. 28, the process object P2150 is associated with a process for editing a game order in a limited time event. When the user selects the processing object P2150, a time-limited order edit screen image for editing the order of the game in the time-limited event is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 30 shows a limited-time order edit screen image. The starting order area A2310, the reserve player area A2320, the drag area A2330, the processing objects P2350, P2370, P2380, and the total power area A2360 of the limited time order editing screen image G2300 shown in FIG. Are the same as the starting order area A2210, the reserve player area A2220, the drag area A2230, the processing objects P2250, P2270, P2280, and the total force area A2260. However, in the limited-time order edit screen image G2300, the point that a score bonus is displayed in the starting order area A2310 is different from the normal order edit screen image G2200.

  Here, the score bonus will be described. In the limited time event, when a specific event character (hereinafter referred to as a special effect character) is set in the event deck and an original character cultivated is placed in an order to play a game, a score bonus for increasing a score that can be obtained after the game is provided. It has become so. A special effect character can be said to be an event character in which an effect that does not occur in a normal period occurs in a specific period. That is, the special effect character can be used in a normal period other than the specific period, but the effect that occurs in the specific period does not occur in the normal period. Whether or not the event character is a special effect character may be identified by an event deck setting screen image G300, an event character change screen image G600, or the like.

  FIG. 31 shows an example of the event deck setting screen image G600 during the limited time event. As shown in FIG. 31, in the event character list area A640, information indicating a degree of effect is displayed for an event character that is a special effect character. For example, this shows that a score bonus of “5%” occurs when an original character bred by putting “Yamaguchi” in an event deck is used in a game. Similarly, when an original character bred by putting “Tsuraya” with a rarity of “R” into an event deck is used in a game, a score bonus of “3%” is generated, and “Tsuraya” with a rarity of “N” is shown. Indicates that a score bonus of “2%” occurs when an original character bred by putting “” in an event deck is used in a game. As described above, the degree of the score bonus may vary depending on the rarity.

  When an event deck contains a plurality of special effects characters, if an original character bred using this event deck is used in a match for a limited time event, the total value of the score bonus of each of the plural special effects characters is obtained. The score may be increased by the amount, or only the character with the highest score bonus among the plurality of special effects characters may be reflected.

  When a special effect character is incorporated into an event deck and a success part is played, an effect corresponding to the special effect character may be generated, so that the development of the main character may be advantageous. Further, the effect in the success part may be generated only during a specific period. That is, the effect generated by the special effect character is not limited to the stadium part, but may be generated in the success part.

  FIG. 32 shows an example of the event deck setting area A340 of the event deck setting screen image G300 during the limited time event. As shown in FIG. 32, information indicating the degree of effect is displayed in a setting frame A344-4 in which an event character that is a special effect character is incorporated in the event character list area A640. That is, since the special effect character “Yamaguchi” is incorporated in the setting frame A344-4, “5%” which is the score bonus of “Yamaguchi” is displayed. When a plurality of special effects characters are included in the event deck, the total value of score bonuses generated by the plurality of special effects characters may be displayed in the event deck setting area A340.

  In the limited time event, a reward is given to the user when the cumulative value of the scores acquired by the user exceeds the reference value. As this reference value, a plurality of reference values may be determined stepwise. Then, as the reference value increases, the reward given when the reference value is exceeded may be improved. Furthermore, the ranking of the user may be determined based on the cumulative value of the scores when the limited time event has ended, and a reward according to the ranking may be given to the user.

  FIG. 33 shows conditions under which a score bonus occurs. In the example of FIG. 33, the special effects characters are “E3” and “E8”. As shown in FIG. 33, since the original character “P1” includes “E3” in the event deck used in the success part, a score bonus is generated when the original character “P1” is placed in an order for a game of a limited time event. Similarly, since the original character “P3” includes “E3” and “E8” in the event deck used in the success part, a score bonus is generated when the original character “P3” is placed in a game order for a limited time event. On the other hand, the original character “P2” does not include a special-effect character in the event deck used in the success part, so that no score bonus is generated even if the original character “P2” is placed in a game order for a limited time event.

  Returning to FIG. 30, in the starting order area A2310, the value of the score bonus for each original character placed in the order and the total value of the score bonus that can occur in the current order are displayed. The score bonus may be generated only for the original character in the starting order, or may be generated for both the starting order and the copy original character.

  The processing object P2340 is similar to the processing object P2240 in that an order is automatically determined. However, when the user selects the processing object P2340, it is possible to select whether to determine the order with priority on the score bonus or to determine the order with priority on the ability. When the order is determined by giving priority to the score bonus, the order is automatically determined by giving priority to the value of the value of the score bonus assigned to the original character. When the ability is prioritized, it is the same as when the processing object P2240 is selected.

  Returning to FIG. 28, the processing object P2160 is associated with processing for displaying a list of original characters owned by the user. Before editing an order, the user can check a list of original characters owned by the user. The processing object P2170 is associated with processing for editing an original character owned by the user. The user can edit the name and appearance of the original character. However, the ability parameters of the original character for which the success part training has been completed are fixed and cannot be edited.

  The user edits the order as described above and plays the stadium part. For example, in the home screen image G100 shown in FIG. 2, when the user selects the processing object P150, the home screen image G100 switches to the display of the stadium part.

  FIG. 34 shows a home screen image G100 when the processing object P150 is selected. The process object P151 illustrated in FIG. 34 is associated with a process for playing a normal match, and the process object P152 is associated with a process for playing a match for a limited time event. When the user selects one of the processing objects P151 and P152, the selected processing object is displayed at the center of the home screen image G100.

  In the example shown in FIG. 34, when the user selects the processing object P151 in a state where the processing object P151 is displayed at the center, a normal game is executed. On the other hand, when the user selects the processing object P152 in a state where the processing object P152 is displayed at the center, the game of the limited time event is executed. As described below, the flow of a normal game and a game of a limited-time event are the same.

  FIG. 35 shows a flow of a normal game and a game of a limited time event. As shown in FIG. 35, when the user selects the processing objects P151 and P152, a screen image indicating a plurality of opponent candidates is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user selects an opponent from among the plurality of opponent candidates. Select (S2). The opponent candidate is another user's team. For example, another user's team that is similar to the user's rank or team's overall power is selected as an opponent candidate.

  When the opponent is selected, a screen image for changing the order is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user can change the content of the order of the normal game or the order of the game of the limited time event ( S4). This screen image is the same as the normal order edit screen image G2200 or the limited time order edit screen image G2300.

  When the order of the game is determined, the condition of the original character included in the order is determined (S6). As for the tone, any one of a plurality of stages (for example, six stages) is randomly assigned to each original character in the order. The better the condition, the better the ability parameter of the original character, and can play an active part in the game.

  The user selects the game items owned by the user to be used in the game (S8). The game items that can be selected here are those that favor the game and increase the score that can be obtained in the game.

  When the user selects a game item, a match starts (S10). The game may proceed automatically from the start to the end, or the user may be allowed to operate the original character that is participating only when a predetermined scene is reached. Further, the user may operate all scenes of the match.

  When the match is over, a screen image showing the result of the match is displayed on the display unit 15 (S12). As the result of the match, the win / loss of the match, the score of each team, and the score obtained by the user are displayed on the screen image. The score is determined based on the content and results of the game. However, a score better given the user's operation than the case where the game is automatically advanced is given. For example, a higher score is given to the user when the original character hits or hits the home run based on the operation of the user than when the same original character hits or hits the home run automatically when the game is advanced. It is supposed to be.

  When the result of the match is displayed, the latest ranking of the user is displayed on the display unit 15 (S14). The ranking may be determined based on the cumulative value of the scores obtained in the game, or the ranking may be determined based on the maximum value of the scores obtained in the current or past games. As described above, in the case of a match for a limited time event, if an original character with a score bonus is included in the order, the score calculated by the same calculation method as in a normal match is increased by the score bonus. Will be. For example, when a game of a limited time event is played in the order shown in FIG. 30, the score is increased by 14% compared to a case where the same result is left in a normal game.

  As described above, the user aims to increase the ranking by playing the stadium part to obtain a score. The ranking is changed every predetermined period. The predetermined period may be one week, one day or one month. Also, the highest score given by each user in playing the stadium part during a predetermined period (for example, one week) may be confirmed on the display unit 15. When each user gives the highest score within a predetermined period, the score displayed on the display unit 15 is overwritten. When the predetermined period ends, the score is cleared and the highest score in the next predetermined period is newly displayed. In the present embodiment, when the highest score given by the user during the predetermined period is passed by the friend's user, a challenge letter is automatically sent from the friend. The fact that the challenge letter has been received from the friend is notified to the user by being displayed as a processing object P170 in FIG. When a challenge is received from a plurality of friends, the number of the challenge may be notified on the same screen. The friend's user terminal 10 can confirm that a challenge has been sent to the user. That is, the friend's user terminal 10 notifies the friend that the challenge letter has been sent. The challenge letter is not limited to the score, and may be reached when some kind of evaluation or evaluation value in the game, for example, ranking is omitted. Alternatively, the score value may be set to the same value, the ranking may be arranged, or the like, that is, when the user is overtaken by a friend. Further, the exchange of the challenge may be performed for all friends of a certain user, or may be performed for only some friends. In this case, for example, only friends having the same or close rank as the user may be targeted. Alternatively, based on the intimacy between the user and the friend (for example, set based on the number of matches, the history of chats, and the like), only a friend of a certain degree or more of intimacy may be set as a target of the challenge.

  FIG. 36 is an explanatory diagram of the challenge. The t axis shown in FIG. 36 is a time axis. Here, it is assumed that user A and user B have a friend relationship. At a certain time point t1, user A has obtained a score of 150,000 points, and at time point t2 after time point t1, user B has obtained a score of 120,000 points. When the user B plays the stadium part and obtains a score of 180,000 points and overtakes the user A, a challenge letter is automatically sent from the user B to the user A.

  When the challenge is sent, as shown in FIG. 34, a processing object P170 for fighting with the friend who sent the challenge is displayed on the home screen image G100. The processing object P170 may display information (user name or the like) that can recognize the friend who sent the challenge letter. Here, when challenge letters from a plurality of friends have arrived, the number of the letters may be displayed in the form of being superimposed on or near the processing object P170. For example, if three challenge letters have been received, the number 3 is displayed. In addition, the method of notifying the number of challenge letters is not limited to the method of displaying numbers, and may be notified by the number of images. When the user selects the processing object P170, a battle with the friend who has sent the challenge is performed. Since this match is performed mainly for the purpose of promoting competition with friends, the match ticket may not be consumed, or a medal or the like may not be obtained.

  The challenge may be restricted so that a new challenge cannot be sent to the same friend until a predetermined time has elapsed. For example, a new challenge may not be sent until more than three hours have elapsed. Further, the challenge may have an expiration date (for example, one day) in which the challenge can be used. The expiration date is set for the challenge to prevent the number of challenges for each user from becoming too large. After the expiration date, the processing object P170 in FIG. 34 is deleted. When there are a plurality of challenge letters, the number of the number of challenge letters written together with the processing object P170 decreases sequentially after the expiration date of each challenge letter. In this way, it is possible to prevent a large number of challenges from accumulating for the user.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a friend overtakes the user's score, a challenge letter arrives to enable the player to play with the friend, thereby giving an opportunity to return the friend. You may give it. The privilege may be any as long as the user gives a good score in the stadium part. Stated another way, any privilege that affects the relationship (difference) between the score of the user and the score of the friend may be used. For example, a user may be given a chance to play a match by giving a match ticket, thereby giving an opportunity to return the score of a friend. In addition, for example, it may be a privilege for giving a good score by the user advantageously proceeding with the game. In this case, a game item that decreases the ability parameter of the opponent or a game item that increases the ability parameter of the original character of the user may be used. By using these game items, the opponent becomes weaker or the user's original character becomes stronger, so that the user can easily obtain a good score in the game. That is, by giving these game items to the user, it may be possible to give the user an opportunity to return the score of the friend.

  As described above, the game system 1 has various techniques. For example, the game system 1 displays the bonus detail screen image G500 to display the event character level and the effect generated in the success part. And technology that makes it possible to easily understand the correspondence between Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a first technique.

  In addition, the game system 1 sets various event characters on the event deck by giving a score bonus when a special event character is set on the event deck and an original character bred in the order is played in a game for a limited time event. Has a motivating technology. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a second technique.

  In addition, the game system 1 displays the best practice of the event character set on the event deck in the special practice areas A346 and A1646, so that which practice can be selected in the success part to improve the training. We have a technology that makes it easy to know if there is any. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a third technique.

  In addition, when the user selects the normal scenario, the game system 1 prevents the original character from acquiring the super special ability unless an event character with a high rarity is set in the event deck, and the user is limited to a limited time period. When a scenario is selected, there is a technology that enables the original character to acquire a super special ability even if the event character is not set on the event deck. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a fourth technique.

  In addition, the game system 1 has a technology for promoting competition between users by receiving a challenge when a certain user overtakes a score by a friend user. Hereinafter, this technique is referred to as a fifth technique.

  Hereinafter, the first to fifth techniques will be mainly described in detail.

[3. Function realized in game system 1]
FIG. 37 is a functional block diagram showing functions related to the present invention among the functions realized by the game system 1. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which main processing related to a game is executed by the user terminal 10. However, as described in a modified example described later, main processing related to a game is executed by the server 30. Is also good.

  Note that, of the functions realized by the server 30, the data storage unit 3000 is realized mainly by the storage unit 32, and the other functions are realized mainly by the control unit 31. Among the functions implemented in the user terminal 10, the individual data storage unit 1000 is implemented mainly by the storage unit 12, and the other functions are implemented mainly by the control unit 11.

  First, functions common to the first to fifth techniques will be described, and then functions relating to each of the first to fifth techniques will be described. Here, a data storage unit 3000, a processing unit 3010, an individual data storage unit 1000, and a request unit 1010 will be described as functions common to the first technology to the fifth technology.

  Data storage unit 3000 stores data necessary for a game executed by game system 1. Here, a user table TBL301, an event character table TBL302, an event deck table TBL303, an original character table TBL304, and an order table TBL305 will be described as examples of data stored in the data storage unit 3000.

  FIG. 38 shows an example of the user table TBL301. As shown in FIG. 38, the user table TBL301 is a data table indicating information on each user. For example, the user table TBL301 includes fields described below.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for identifying a user. The “profile” field indicates user registration information such as a user name and a self-introduction sentence.

  The “friend” field indicates identification information for identifying another user having a friend relationship with the user. For example, each user can make a friend application to have a friendship with another user. For example, the user A performs an operation for applying for a friend to the user B who owns the event character set on the event deck as a helper in the success part at the end of the success part. When the user B performs an operation for approving the friend request, the user A and the user B have a friend relationship, the user ID of the user B is stored in the “friend” field of the user A, and the user B has a friend ID in the “friend” field of the user B. The user ID of the user A is stored. The operation for approving the friend application can be performed, for example, from a screen image displayed when the processing object P130 is selected.

  The “user parameter” field indicates various parameters associated with the user. This parameter may be used in a success part or a stadium part, or may be used to acquire a game item. For example, the “user parameter” field indicates a success point, a match ticket, a power stone, a mini stone (a game item that can be exchanged for a power stone when a predetermined number is collected), coins, gacha points, and medals. Note that, for a parameter such as a success point or a match ticket that is recovered after a predetermined time has elapsed, the remaining time until recovery may be stored. Alternatively, for example, the rank of the current order and the total power of the order may be stored in the “user parameter” field.

  The “item” field indicates a game item owned by the user. The “stadium” field indicates the result of the game (game record) in the stadium part, the score obtained by the user (total score / highest score), and the current ranking of the user. In the present embodiment, since there are a normal game and a game of a limited time event, a result, a score, and a ranking are stored for each game. The “challenge” field indicates a game task and a user's achievement status in the challenge part.

  The "Challenge" field indicates the challenge the user has received from a friend. When the user receives a challenge from a friend, the friend's user ID is stored in the "Challenge" field. The “challenge” field may store time information on the challenge. This time information indicates, for example, the time when a friend overtakes the score of the user or the expiration date of the challenge. The user may be able to play against a friend using a challenge within a time limit determined based on the time information. Expired challenges may be removed from the Challenge field.

  FIG. 39 shows an example of the event character table TBL302. As shown in FIG. 39, the event character table TBL302 is a data table showing a list of event characters owned by each user. For example, the event character table TBL302 includes fields described below.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for identifying a user. The “event character 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 “lock” field indicates whether or not the event character is locked. The “leader” field indicates identification information for identifying the event character set in the leader.

  The “rareness” field indicates the rarity of the event character. The meaning of rarity is the same as rarity. The “rareness” is a mode other than the mode described in the present embodiment, for example, “1, 2,...”, “A, B,...”, “Gold, silver,. It is also possible to represent with, for example.

  The “attribute” field indicates the attribute (classification) of the event character. For example, one of a plurality of types of attributes is associated with each event character. Here, each event character has one of the attributes of “player”, “manager”, or “enhanced material”. An event character having the attribute of "player" can participate in a match during the success part and contribute to victory. On the other hand, an event character having the attribute of “manager” or “enhanced material” does not participate in a match during the success part. Therefore, no data is stored in the “position” field or the “specific practice” field of the event character having the attribute of “manager” or “enhanced material”. Instead, the value of the "event power" field of the event character of the "manager" attribute is higher than the event character of the "player" attribute, or the event character of the "enhanced material" attribute is used for reinforcement And you can get more experience value than the event character of the attribute of "player" or "manager".

  The “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 “sex” field indicates the gender of the event character. For example, in the success part, for a specific scenario, only a male or female event character may be set in the event deck.

  The “experience value” field indicates the experience value of the event character. The “level” field indicates the level of the event character. The “highest level” field indicates the upper limit of the level of the event character. The “profile” field indicates profile information of the event character.

  The “event” field indicates event information related to an event associated with the event character. Stated another way, the “event” field indicates event information about an event that may occur in the game when the event character is incorporated into the event deck. The event information is information indicating the name and content of the event. For example, the event information includes information related to the type and amount of experience points or ability parameters that are given to the main character when the event occurs. It should be noted that information indicating the probability or condition of occurrence of an event may be stored in the “event” field.

  The “bonus” field indicates bonus information on a bonus associated with the event character. In other words, the “bonus” field indicates bonus information relating to a bonus that occurs during the game when the event character is incorporated into the event deck. The bonus information is information indicating the name and content of the bonus. For example, when the event character is incorporated into the event deck so that the probability of occurrence of a specific event increases, the bonus information includes information indicating the event and information indicating the degree of increase in the probability of occurrence. For example, in the “bonus” field, a level and an acquisition bonus are associated.

  The “ability parameter” fold indicates the ability parameter of the event character. For example, when a match event occurs in the success part, the event character incorporated in the event deck participates in the match as a teammate of the main character. When such a match event is executed, the ability parameters of the event character are referred to.

  The “event power” field indicates an event power that is an index to such an extent that it becomes advantageous when the event character is set on the event deck. The “player ability” field indicates player ability that is an index of the ability of the event character as a player.

  FIG. 40 shows an example of the event deck table TBL303. As shown in FIG. 40, the event deck table TBL303 is a data table indicating the state of the event deck of each user. For example, the event deck table TBL303 includes fields described below.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for identifying a user. The “name” field indicates the name of the event deck. In the present embodiment, the user can own a plurality of event decks, and can set a name for each event deck.

  The “first setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-1 of the event deck setting area A340. When the event character is not set in the setting frame A344-1, the "first setting frame" field is blank. Similarly, the “second setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-2. The “third setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-3. The “fourth setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-4. The “fifth setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A344-5.

  FIG. 41 shows an example of the original character table TBL304. As shown in FIG. 41, the original character table TBL304 is a data table showing a list of the original characters or the hero characters being bred by each user. For example, the original character table TBL304 includes fields described below.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for identifying a user. The “original character ID” field indicates identification information for identifying the original character or the hero character being bred. The “name” field indicates the name of the original character or the hero character being bred. The “position” field indicates a baseball position that the original character or the growing hero character is good at.

  The “ability parameter”, “physical strength parameter”, “motivation parameter”, “experience point”, and “evaluation” fields are the ability parameter, physical strength parameter, motivation parameter, experience point of the original character or the hero character being bred. And evaluations from other characters. Note that since the upbringing of the original character has been completed, the “physical strength parameter”, “motivation parameter”, “experience point”, and “evaluation” fields may be blank. Further, the total value of the experience point points acquired by the success part may be stored in the “experience point” field together with the remaining experience point at the present time.

  The “event deck” field indicates the contents of the event deck used when breeding the original character or the hero character being bred. In the success part, since the event character of the leader of another user can be added as a helper, the event character ID of the event character set on the event deck set by the user and the event character ID of the helper's event character are “ Event Deck "field.

  The “training status” field indicates the current training status. That is, the “growing status” field indicates whether the growing is completed or is growing. In addition, when the game is being trained, the “training status” field may indicate the current in-game time. Further, the “growing status” field may store the knack level of the main character.

  Note that the data stored in the original character table TBL304 is not limited to the above example. For example, basic information (an image showing a figure or a high school of origin) concerning the original character or the hero character being bred may be stored in the original character table TBL304. Alternatively, for example, the knack level and the state of the main character that change during the success part may be stored in the original character table TBL304.

  FIG. 42 shows an example of the order table TBL305. As shown in FIG. 42, the order table TBL305 is a data table indicating the contents of the order set by the user. The order table TBL 305 includes fields described below.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for identifying a user. The “order type” field indicates the type of the order. Here, information indicating whether the order is a normal order or a limited time event order is stored. The “order” field stores an original character ID included in the order.

  The data stored in data storage unit 3000 is not limited to the above example. Data storage unit 3000 may store data necessary for the game. For example, data storage section 3000 may store master data of an event character. Further, for example, the data storage unit 3000 may store various image data. Further, for example, the data storage unit 3000 may store data indicating the relationship between each goal and reward in the challenge part. Further, for example, data indicating the content of each scenario may be stored. Further, for example, data indicating the relationship between the special effect character and the score bonus may be stored. Further, for example, the data storage unit 3000 may store user setting information in association with a user ID. The setting information includes, for example, an auto flag indicating the selection of the processing object P822 in the main command screen image G800, a skip flag indicating the selection of the processing object P823, and a shortcut flag indicating the selection of the processing object P824.

  The processing unit 3010 acquires data relating to the user of the user terminal 10 among the data stored in the data storage unit 3000 in response to a request from the user terminal 10 and transmits the data to the user terminal 10 or Update data.

  For example, it is assumed that the request from the user terminal 10 includes the user ID. When the above request is received by the server 30, the processing unit 3010 obtains data stored in association with the received user ID from the data storage unit 3000 and transmits the data to the user terminal 10. For example, the processing unit 3010 acquires event character data stored in association with the user ID from the event character table TBL302, and transmits the event character data to the user terminal 10. Similarly, the processing unit 3010 obtains event deck data and original character data stored in association with the user ID from the event deck table TBL303 and the original character table TBL304, and stores the event deck data and the original character data in the user terminal 10 Send to

  When the above request is received by the server 30, the processing unit 3010 is notified of the data stored in the data storage unit 3000 (that is, the data stored in association with the received user ID) from the user terminal 10. Update according to the updated content.

  The individual data storage unit 1000 is for storing data relating to the user of the user terminal 10 among the data stored in the data storage unit 3000.

  The request unit 1010 obtains data related to the user of the user terminal 10 from the data stored in the data storage unit 3000, and stores the data in the individual data storage unit 1000 or stores the data in the individual data storage unit 1000. When the data to be updated is updated, the data stored in the data storage unit 3000 is similarly updated.

  The request unit 1010 transmits the user ID of the user of the user terminal 10 to the server 30 at a predetermined timing, thereby requesting the server 30 to return data stored in association with the user ID. The “predetermined timing” is, for example, a timing at which the game program is started, a timing at which the home screen image G100 is displayed, or a timing at which the success part is started.

  When the data returned from the server 30 is received by the user terminal 10, the request unit 1010 stores the data in the individual data storage unit 1000.

  For example, the request unit 1010 stores the event character data returned from the server 30 in the event character table TBL302 included in the individual data storage unit 1000. The event character table TBL302 is a data table for storing only the event characters of the user of the user terminal 10, and is, for example, a data table including the same fields as the event character table TBL302 shown in FIG. (The "User ID" field may be omitted).

  Further, the request unit 1010 stores the event deck data returned from the server 30 in the event deck table TBL303 included in the individual data storage unit 1000. The event deck table TBL303 is a data table for storing only the event deck of the user of the user terminal 10, and is, for example, a data table including the same fields as the event deck table TBL303 shown in FIG. (The "User ID" field may be omitted).

  Further, the request unit 1010 stores the original character data returned from the server 30 in the original character table TBL 304 included in the individual data storage unit 1000. The original character table TBL304 is a data table for storing only the original characters of the user of the user terminal 10, and is a data table including, for example, the same fields as the original character table TBL304 shown in FIG. (The "User ID" field may be omitted).

  The data stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 is referred to or updated during the execution of the baseball game. When the data stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 has been updated, the request unit 1010 notifies the server 30 of the updated content together with the user ID of the user of the user terminal 10 at a predetermined timing, thereby storing the data. A request is made to update the data stored in the unit 3000 as well. The “predetermined timing” is, for example, a timing at a predetermined time interval or a timing at which the user has finished playing.

[3-1. About the first technology]
Next, functions according to the first technique will be described. For example, the first technique includes a first game execution unit 1020, a first effect generation unit 1021, a change target selection unit 1030, a level change unit 1040, a use target selection unit 1050, an effect display control unit 1060, a data acquisition unit 1070, This is realized by the change target display control unit 1080, the material character selection unit 1090, the upper limit release determination unit 1100, the permission unit 1110, the condition display control unit 1120, the event power display control unit 1130, and the player ability display control unit 1140.

  The first game execution unit 1020 executes a success part in which the ability parameter of the main character changes or is set based on a user operation. The first game execution unit 1020 executes the game program of the baseball game, and updates various data related to the success part (for example, the original character table TBL304).

  For example, the first game execution unit 1020 executes a success part including a game in which a game task is set, based on the main character and the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050.

  The “game task” here is a task (mission) determined in the game, for example, winning a battle. In the “game task”, a hero character and an event character set on an event deck are used. When the result of the game process executed based on these is a predetermined result, the “game task” is achieved. For example, in a battle, if the number of points (points) obtained by the user is larger than that of the opponent, the “game task” is achieved. Winning a match played in the success part is an example of a game task.

  “Success part including a game in which a game task is set” means that a game in which a game task is set is included in a part of the success part. For example, when winning in a match corresponds to a game task, the success part includes a match game as a part. For example, when the progress status of the success part becomes a predetermined status, a game in which a game task is set can be played.

  For example, the first game execution unit 1020 excludes a specific event character from the plurality of event characters, even if selected by the use target selection unit 1050, with respect to achievement of the game task.

  The “specific event character” may be any character that is determined not to be used for a game task. In the present embodiment, the value of the “attribute” field is “manager”. “Not subject to achievement of game task” means not contributing to achievement of the game task. For example, it means that the game task is not used in the set game. That is, even if the event character of "manager" is set in the event deck, it does not participate in the match in the success part.

  The change target selection unit 1030 selects one of the plurality of event characters as a change target based on a user operation. The “change target” is an event character whose level parameter is to be changed. In the present embodiment, the base character corresponds to the “change target”.

  For example, as shown in a base character selection screen image G1700 (FIG. 23), identification information for identifying each of the plurality of event characters is displayed on the display unit 15, and the change target selection unit 1030 displays the user's Select one or more based on the operation. “Identification information” is, for example, an image representing an event character. In the present embodiment, the processing object of each event character displayed in the event character list area A1740 corresponds to “identification information”.

  In this embodiment, the user directly selects the base character. However, the user selects only the selection condition for selecting the base character, and the base character is selected based on the selection condition. You may make it. The selection condition is, for example, a good practice of the event character. In this case, when the user selects a practice that is regarded as important in the success part, any one of the event characters set as the practice with which the practice is good may be selected as the base character. By doing so, an event character that is effective for efficiently performing a practice that the user considers important is selected as a base character, so that the user does not have to search for the base character each time. In such a case, a plurality of selection conditions for selecting one or more event characters are determined, and the change target selection unit 1030 selects one or more based on the selection condition selected by the user from among them. Will be. The selection condition may be a condition relating to the level of the event character or an effect occurring in the game.

  The level change unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the event character selected by the change target selection unit 1030. For example, the level change unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the event character selected by the change target selection unit 1030 based on another game object.

  The “other game object” is a game object that is neither a hero object nor an event character selected by the change target selection unit 1030. The “other game object” may be other than the event character selected by the change target selection unit 1030 among the plurality of event characters, or may be a third game object that is neither the main character nor the event character. Good. The third game object can be said to be a game object for changing the level parameter. For example, the third game object can be said to be a game object dedicated to enhancing the event character. For example, another game object may be selected based on a user operation, or may be automatically selected. In the present embodiment, the material characters correspond to “other game objects”.

  For example, the level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter by increasing the experience value parameter of the base character using the material character. In the present embodiment, when the experience value parameter or the level parameter changes, the material character is consumed (disappears). For example, the amount of change in the experience value parameter or the level parameter differs depending on the material character. In this case, the association between the material character and the change of the experience value parameter or the level parameter is stored in the storage unit. The experience value parameter and the level parameter change based on a change associated with the material character. For example, when the "attribute" field of the material character indicates "enhanced material", the amount of increase in the level parameter may be increased by increasing the experience value parameter that can be obtained, as compared with the case of indicating another attribute. Good.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the level parameter of the base character is changed by using the material character will be described. However, the level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the base character based on a predetermined parameter. You may. In this case, the level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the event character selected by the changing target selecting unit 1030 based on the parameter for changing the level. The parameter for changing the level may be, for example, a “power injection point” that the user can acquire in the game. In this case, the level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter of the base character by injecting the “power injection point” into the base character.

  As described above, each of the plurality of event characters is limited so that the level parameter of the event character does not fall within a predetermined range. “Limiting the level parameter not to fall within a predetermined range” means prohibiting the level parameter from falling within a predetermined range. That is, the level parameter of each event character is limited so as not to be larger than the highest level.

  The use target selection unit 1050 selects at least one of the plurality of event characters as a use target. The “use target” is a game object to be used in the game, and is a game object that produces an effect in the game. In the present embodiment, setting on the event deck corresponds to selecting as an object to be used.

  For example, the use target selection unit 1050 selects an event character based on a user operation. In this case, as shown in the event character change screen image G600 (FIG. 9), identification information for identifying each of the plurality of event characters is displayed on the display unit 15, and the use target selection unit 1050 selects the user from among them. One or more are selected based on the above operation. “Identification information” is, for example, an image representing an event character. In the present embodiment, the processing object of each event character displayed in the event character list area A640 corresponds to “identification information”.

  Further, for example, the use target selecting unit 1050 may automatically select an event character based on a predetermined condition. For example, the use target selection unit 1050 selects an event character based on the level parameter. For example, when a plurality of types of effects occur in the game, the use target selection unit 1050 selects an event character in which the effect selected by the user occurs. Alternatively, for example, the use target selecting unit 1050 may automatically select the event character based on the level parameter or the rarity parameter of the event character.

  The first effect generation unit 1021 generates an effect on the success part regarding the change or setting of the ability parameter of the main character based on the level parameter of the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050. For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 changes the effect based on the level parameter of the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050. For example, in the “bonus” field of the event character table TBL302, data in which a level parameter and an effect content are associated is stored, so that the first effect generation unit 1021 performs the content associated with the level parameter. Effect in the success part.

  For example, the first effect generating unit 1021 determines the effect associated with the parameter range to which the value from the initial value to the current value of the level parameter of the event character selected by the use target selecting unit 1050 among the plurality of parameter ranges. Will be generated. The “parameter range to which the value from the initial value of the level parameter to the current value belongs” is a value (for example, each numerical value of 1 to 50) from the initial value (for example, 1) of the level parameter to the current value (for example, 50). ) Is a parameter range that includes at least one parameter range to which the level parameter currently belongs and a parameter range to which the level parameter belongs in the past. For example, when the event character whose level parameter is 1 suddenly becomes 50 by enhancement, the first effect generating unit 1021 generates only the parameter range including 1 and the effect associated with the parameter range including 50. Instead, an effect associated with a parameter range including at least one numerical value between 1 and 50 will be generated. That is, in this case, the first effect generation unit 1021 generates all effects whose level parameter is 50 or less. Note that if the value is a level parameter indicating that the level is higher as the numerical value is higher, all effects below the current value will be generated. However, a level parameter indicating that the level is higher as the numerical value is lower (for example, indicating the rank). In such a case, for example, if 1 is the highest level), all effects higher than the current value are generated.

  When an operation for selecting a change target is performed, the effect display control unit 1060 determines, for each event character, the correspondence between the level parameter of the event character and the effect generated by the first effect generation unit 1021. The control for displaying the corresponding relationship information shown on the display unit 15 is executed.

  “When an operation for selecting a change target is performed” is a predetermined timing before and after the user performs the operation. For example, until the selection of the base character is completed. For example, while the base character selection screen image G1700 for receiving the base character selection operation is being displayed.

  “Correspondence information” is information indicating an association between a range of a level parameter and an effect generated when the level parameter belongs to the range. The correspondence information includes information indicating the contents of the effect. In other words, it includes text information or image information that allows the user to grasp the contents of the effect. Alternatively, the correspondence information may include information for identifying the event character. This information includes the name and appearance of the event character. In the present embodiment, the bonus detail screen image G500 corresponds to “correspondence information”. Here, the correspondence information is displayed when the base character is selected, but the correspondence information itself may be displayed at an arbitrary timing. For example, for example, the correspondence information may be displayed from a list of event characters displayed by selecting the processing object P1570 of the event character menu screen image G1500.

  "Executing control for displaying on the display means" means, for example, generating an image and displaying the image on the display means. Also, for example, the image is displayed on the display unit by generating data necessary for displaying the image and transmitting the data to the display unit or a terminal connected to the display unit. “Data necessary for displaying an image” may be data indicating an image itself or data necessary for generating an image. Hereinafter, the meaning of the same expression is the same.

  The data acquisition unit 1070 acquires data stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 that stores data that associates each of the plurality of parameter ranges divided in stages with the effect generated by the effect generation unit. This data can also be said to be data indicating the correspondence between the parameter range and the effect. This data may be in the form of a table or mathematical formula. In the present embodiment, the “bonus” field of the event character table TBL302 corresponds to the above data.

  The “parameter range” is, for example, a range that can take a numerical value when the parameter is a numerical value. For example, the range is from the first reference value to a second reference value that is larger than the first reference value. For example, when the parameter is a symbol, the range is the order in which the symbols are arranged in symbol order. For example, the order is from the first order to a second order after the first order. Note that the parameter range here includes not only a plurality of levels but also a single level. That is, the effect that occurs in the success part may be determined for each level.

  For example, the effect display control unit 1060 executes control for displaying the correspondence information indicating the correspondence between each of the plurality of parameter ranges and the effect generated by the first effect generation unit 1021 on the display unit 15. . That is, the display control unit executes control for displaying the correspondence information indicating the effect for each parameter range on the display unit 15. In the present embodiment, as shown in the bonus detail screen image G500 in FIG. 8, the effect that occurs for each level range is shown.

  Further, for example, for each event character, the effect display control unit 1060 determines the effect associated with the parameter range to which the value of the level parameter of the event character belongs from the initial value to the current value, Control is performed to display on the display unit 15 the correspondence information that distinguishes the effect associated with the parameter range to which the values up to do not belong.

  The “parameter range to which the value from the initial value to the current value of the level parameter does not belong” is a value (for example, 1 to 50) from the initial value (for example, 1) of the level parameter to the current value (for example, 50). This is a parameter range that does not include any numerical value), for example, a parameter range in which the level parameter has not belonged to any of the present and the past.

  The “differential correspondence information” is to change the display mode on the screen. For example, adding an image, and changing the color, luminance, pattern, and size. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the bonus detailed screen image G500 to which the check objects C510 and C520 are added corresponds to the above-described distinguished correspondence information.

  The change target display control unit 1080 executes control for causing the display unit 15 to display a reception image for receiving an operation for selecting a change target.

  The “acceptance image” is an image displayed when an operation is accepted. An operation performed while the reception image is displayed corresponds to an operation for selecting a change target. In the present embodiment, the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1740 of the base character selection screen image G1700 corresponds to a reception image.

  Further, for example, the effect display control unit 1060 performs control for displaying the correspondence information on the display unit 15 after an operation for displaying the correspondence information in a state where the reception image is displayed. It may be.

  "After the user performs a predetermined operation for displaying the correspondence information in a state where the reception image is displayed" means after a predetermined operation performed in a state where the reception image is displayed. For example, it means both according to a predetermined operation or according to an operation performed while an image displayed according to the predetermined operation is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display control unit 1060 displays the bonus detail screen image G500 on the display unit 15 when the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1740 of the base character selection screen image G1700 is long pressed. Execute control for displaying.

  Note that the effect display control unit 1060 may execute control for displaying the correspondence information on the display unit 15 while the reception image is displayed. In this case, the effect display control unit 1060 displays the received image and the correspondence information on the same screen.

  The material character selection unit 1090 selects at least one of the plurality of game objects as a material character based on a user operation.

  Here, the “plurality of game objects” are game objects excluding the base character, the original character, and the main character. In the present embodiment, event characters that can be selected in the event character list area A1940 of the material character selection screen image G1900 (that is, material character candidates) correspond to a plurality of game objects.

  Upper limit release determination section 1100 determines whether a given condition associated with the base character selected by change target selection section 1030 is satisfied based on the material character selected by material character selection section 1090. .

  The “given condition associated with the base character” is a condition determined by the base character, and may be a different condition for each base character. For example, selecting the same type of game object as the base character.

  For example, the given condition is a condition that can be satisfied when the material character selected by the material character selection unit 1090 is a specific event character. The specific event character is an event character associated with the base character selected by the change target selection unit 1030, and is, for example, the same event character as the event character. In other words, the predetermined condition is a condition that is not satisfied unless a specific event character is selected, and a condition that is satisfied with a predetermined probability when a specific event character is selected.

  Further, for example, the given condition is a condition that is satisfied with a probability determined based on the material character selected by the material character selecting unit 1090. This is a condition that is satisfied under the probability associated with the material character. This probability is determined by, for example, the parameters of the material character. For example, the probability may increase as the rarity parameter or level parameter of the material character increases (increases).

  When the upper limit release determination unit 1100 determines that the given condition is satisfied, the permission unit 1110 determines whether the level parameter of the base character selected by the change target selection unit 1030 is within a predetermined range or one of a predetermined range. Allows you to be part of the department. Since the permission unit 1110 does not, in principle, allow the level parameter of the event character to exceed the maximum level, the permission unit 1110 determines that the level parameter of the event character is only determined when the given condition is satisfied. Allow to exceed the highest level.

  The "predetermined range" may be a predetermined parameter range. For example, if the parameter is a numerical value, it is equal to or more than a reference value, and if the parameter is a symbol, it is a symbol after a predetermined order. In the present embodiment, a range higher (larger) than the level maximum value corresponds to the predetermined range.

  The condition display control unit 1120 performs control for displaying condition information on a given condition on the display unit 15 when an operation for selecting a material character is performed. “Condition information” is an image or text indicating the contents of a given condition.

  For example, for each event character, the condition display control unit 1120 performs control for causing the display unit 15 to display condition information on whether or not the event character is a specific event character. In the present embodiment, as shown in a material character selection screen image G1900 of FIG. 25, the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1940 has “opening 100%” or “opening 30%” indicating whether or not the processing object of the highest level can be opened. Is displayed.

  For example, for each event character, the condition display control unit 1120 controls the display unit 15 to display condition information on the probability when the event character is selected by the material character selection unit 1090. In the present embodiment, as shown in the material character selection screen image G1900 in FIG. 25, the processing object of each event character in the event character list area A1940 indicates “opening 100%” or “opening 30%” indicating the highest level of opening probability. Is displayed.

  The event power display control unit 1130 causes the display unit 15 to display, for each event character, information indicating a degree of an effect generated by the first effect generation unit 1021 when the event character is selected by the use target selection unit 1050. Control for

  The “information indicating the degree of the effect” is a numerical value or a symbol indicating the magnitude (high or low) of the effect. In the present embodiment mobile phone, the event power displayed on the event character screen image G400 corresponds to information indicating the degree of the effect. The event power display control unit 1130 acquires the value of the “event power” field of the event character table TBL302 and causes the display unit 15 to display the value.

  The player ability display control unit 1140 causes the display unit 15 to further display, for each event character, information indicating a degree that is advantageous for achieving the game task when the event character is selected by the use target selection unit 1050. Control for

  “Information indicating the degree of advantage” is a numerical value or a symbol indicating the degree of facilitating achievement of the game task. In the present embodiment, since the game task here is to win the game of the success part, the player ability displayed on the event character screen image G400 corresponds to the information indicating the degree of the effect. The event power display control unit 1130 acquires the value of the “player ability” field of the event character table TBL302 and causes the display unit 15 to display the value.

[3-2. About the second technology]
In order to realize the second technology, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 includes a first game execution unit 1020, a first effect generation unit 1021, an effect display control unit 1060, a distinction display control unit 1150, and a helper selection unit 1160. , A second game execution unit 1170, a special effect determination unit 1171, and a second effect generation unit 1172.

  Since the first game execution unit 1020 executes the same processing as the processing described in the first technique, the description is omitted here.

  Based on at least one selected from the plurality of event characters (e.g., an event character set on the event deck), the first effect generation unit 1021 displays on the success part relating to a change or setting of the ability parameter of the main character. To produce the effect. The first effect generation unit 1021 may also execute the same processing as the processing described in the first technology, but the second technology is mainly a technology relating to special effects characters. Means that when a special effect character is selected, the effect is changed based on the level parameter of the special effect character. The method of changing the effect based on the level parameter is the same as the method described in the first technique.

  In the first technique, the case where the first effect generator 1021 generates an effect based on the level parameter has been described. However, in the second technique, the first effect generator 1021 generates the effect based on the event character. It may be generated, and may not necessarily be based on the level parameter. For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 may generate an effect based on an ability parameter or a rarity, or may generate an effect based on an event list.

  When an operation for selecting at least one of the plurality of event characters (for example, an event character to be set on the event deck) is performed, the distinction display control unit 1150 stores information on the special effect character and other event characters. And control for displaying the information on the display unit 15 separately. The meaning of the above operation and the meaning of "display separately" are the same as those described in the first technology.

  “When an operation is performed” is a predetermined timing before and after the user performs an operation. For example, until the selection of the event character is completed. For example, while the event deck setting screen image G300, the event character change screen image G600, or the event deck editing screen image G1600 for receiving the event character selection operation is being displayed.

  “Information regarding a character” is information for identifying an event character and parameters of the event character. In the present embodiment, the processing object for identifying the event character corresponds to information about the character. For example, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the distinction display control unit 1150 makes the display mode of the special-effect character processing object different from that of the other event characters in the event character list area A640 and the setting frame. Note that displaying information on the special effect character and information on other event characters separately is not limited to performing an operation for selecting an event character to be incorporated into the event deck. These distinctions may be displayed at any timing. For example, in the event character list displayed when the processing object P1570 of the event character menu screen image G1500 is selected, a distinction display may be made between a special effect character and another event character. For example, when an event character is given by a gacha executed after the user selects the processing object P124, an event character menu screen image G1500 is displayed, and when the processing object P1570 is selected, a distinction display is performed. May be performed. In this case, the display of the event character menu screen image G1500 may be omitted and only the distinction display may be performed.

  The effect display control unit 1060 executes control for displaying the correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the special effect character and the effect generated by the second effect generation unit 1172 on the display unit 15. For example, the effect display control unit 1060 causes the special effect character and the effect generated in the stadium part to be displayed in association with each other. The correspondence information includes information indicating the contents of the effect. In other words, it includes text information or image information that allows the user to grasp the contents of the effect. In addition, the correspondence information includes information for identifying a special effect character. This information includes the name and appearance of the special effect character. For example, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the effect display control unit 1060 displays the score bonus of the special effect character in the event character list area A640 and the setting frame.

  The effect display control unit 1060 causes the display unit 15 to display the correspondence information when an operation for selecting at least one of the plurality of event characters (for example, an event character set on the event deck) is performed. To perform control. The above operation and the meaning of “when the operation is performed” are as described above.

  The helper selection unit 1160 selects an event character owned by another user associated with the user. The “other user associated with the user” is, for example, a user who has a friend relationship. In addition to the event characters owned by the user who plays the game, event characters owned by other users can be selected.

  The second game execution unit 1170 executes a stadium part using the original character. For example, the second game execution unit 1170 executes the stadium part based on the ability parameter of the original character. The second game execution unit 1170 executes a game program of the baseball game and updates various data (for example, the user table TBL301) related to the stadium part.

  The second game execution unit 1170 may execute the game of the stadium part based on the operation of the user, or may automatically execute the game of the stadium part without being operated by the user. . Whether to execute the game of the stadium part based on the operation of the user or to automatically execute the game of the stadium part may be specified by the user.

  The special effect determination unit 1171 determines whether or not the ability parameter of the original character used in the stadium part has been changed or set in the success part executed with the special effect character selected. For example, the special effect determining unit 1171 determines whether a special effect character is used when the ability parameter of the original character is changed or set. Here, since the contents of the event deck when the ability parameter of the original character is changed or set are stored in the original character table TBL304, the special effect determination unit 1171 makes a determination based on the contents of the original character table TBL304. .

  The second effect generation unit 1172 generates an advantageous or disadvantageous effect for the user on the stadium part based on the determination result of the special effect determination unit 1171.

  The “effect advantageous or disadvantageous to the user” is an effect that makes it easier to obtain a desired result in the stadium part, or an effect that makes it difficult to obtain the result. For example, in the case of a game aiming to obtain rewards (points, in-game currency, etc.) like a stadium part, the effect is to increase or decrease the reward. For example, in the case of a battle game like a stadium part, an effect that makes it easy to progress a battle or an effect that makes it difficult to progress a battle may be used.

  For example, the second effect generation unit 1172 determines that the ability parameter of the original character used in the stadium part has been changed or set in the success part executed with the special effect character selected. An effect advantageous to the user is generated on the stadium part. Further, for example, the second effect generation unit 1172 determines that the level parameter of the original character used in the stadium part is not changed or set in the success part executed with the special effect character selected. A disadvantageous effect for the user may be generated on the stadium part.

  In the present embodiment, since the stadium part aims to obtain a reward using the original character whose ability parameter has changed in the success part, the second effect generation unit 1172 is advantageous for the user to obtain the reward or An adverse effect will occur in the stadium part.

  “Advantageous or disadvantageous effect for obtaining a reward” is an effect that makes it easy to obtain a reward or an effect that makes it difficult to obtain a reward. That is, the effect is that the obtained reward is better or the obtained reward is worse.

  The second effect generator 1172 may change the effect based on the parameters of the special effect character. The second effect generator 1172 changes the content of the effect based on the parameters of the special effect character. For example, the association between the parameter and the effect is stored in the data storage unit 3000. The second effect generator 1172 generates an effect associated with the parameter. The parameter may be a scarcity parameter or a level parameter. The second effect generation unit 1172 increases the score bonus as the rarity or the level of the special effect character increases.

  For example, the second effect generation unit 1172 may change the effect based on the number of original characters whose ability parameters have been changed or set in the success part based on the special effect character. In this case, the association between the number of the original characters bred by the special effect character and the effect is stored in the data storage unit 3000, and the second effect generating unit 1172 determines the number of the original characters bred by the special effect character. Generate the associated effect. For example, the second effect generation unit 1172 generates an effect that becomes more advantageous or disadvantageous as the number of original characters bred by the special effect character increases. That is, the second effect generator 1172 may increase the effect in the stadium part as the number of original characters bred by the special effect character increases.

[3-3. About the third technology]
In order to implement the third technique, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 includes a parameter changing unit 1022, a use target selecting unit 1050, a practice selecting unit 1180, and a practice display control unit 1190.

  As described above, in the success part, each of the plurality of ability parameters of the hero character is changed or set. Further, in the success part, one of a plurality of roles is set as the main character. The role is a role assigned in the game, and is a position in the present embodiment.

  The practice selecting unit 1180 selects one of a plurality of options associated with at least one of the plurality of ability parameters based on the first selection operation of the user. The “first selection operation” is an operation for the user to select an option, for example, an operation for selecting any one of a plurality of options displayed on the display unit 15. In the present embodiment, each of the processing objects P921 to P926 corresponds to an option, and an operation of selecting any of the processing objects P921 to P926 corresponds to a first selection operation.

  Each of the plurality of options is associated with at least one of the plurality of roles. In the present embodiment, the option indicating the practice of the fielder is associated with the role of the fielder, and the processing object indicating the practice of the pitcher is associated with the role of the pitcher. Then, options associated with the role of the main character can be selected by the first selection operation. That is, when the role of the hero character is the fielder, the processing object associated with the fielder can be selected, and when the role of the hero character is the pitcher, the processing object associated with the pitcher can be selected.

  The use target selection unit 1050 selects at least one of a plurality of event characters associated with at least one of the plurality of options based on the second selection operation by the user. In the present embodiment, the fact that the special practice is associated with the event character corresponds to that at least one of the options is associated with the event character.

  The parameter changing unit 1022 changes a parameter associated with the option selected by the practice selecting unit 1180 among the plurality of ability parameters. As described above, each of the options defines the ability parameter that increases when the processing object is selected. Therefore, the parameter changing unit 1022 increases the ability parameter associated with the selected one of the options.

  If the option selected by the practice selecting unit 1180 is an option associated with the event character selected by the use target selecting unit 1050, the parameter changing unit 1022 selects the option selected by the practice selecting unit 1180, The parameter associated with the option selected by the continuous selection unit is changed so that the user is more advantageous in the game than when the event character is not an option associated with the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050. For example, the parameter changing unit 1022 increases the amount of change in the ability parameter of the main character when the special practice associated with the event character set on the event deck is selected.

  The practice display control unit 1190 executes control for causing the display unit 15 to display option information on options associated with the event character selected by the use target selection unit 1050. The option information is an image, text, or the like for displaying the option on the display unit 15. In the present embodiment, each practice included in the processing objects P921 to P926 and the specialty practice area A346 corresponds to option information.

  The practice display control unit 1190 determines that a plurality of event characters are selected by the use target selection unit 1050, and that options associated with each of the plurality of event characters selected by the use target selection unit 1050 are the same. In this case, control for displaying information indicating the number of the same options on the display unit 15 in association with the option information is executed.

  “Information indicating the number of options” is an image or text indicating a numerical value. In the present embodiment, a numerical value such as “× 2” displayed in the specialty practice area A346 corresponds to “information indicating the number of options”.

  "Displaying the information indicating the number of options in association with the option information" means, for example, displaying the information indicating the number of options and the option information so as to partially overlap, the information indicating the number of options and the option. Displaying the information so that the distance from the information is within a predetermined distance, and connecting information indicating the number of options and option information with an image such as a line. In the present embodiment, numerical values such as “× 2” are displayed so as to indicate the good practice displayed in the good practice area A346.

  For example, the practice display control unit 1190 displays the option information related to the option associated with the event character selected by the use target selecting unit 1050 and the option information related to the option other than the option on the display unit 15 so as to be distinguished. The meaning of "display separately" is as described above.

  For example, the practice display control unit 1190 displays the option information for each of the plurality of options in an order determined based on the role associated with the option, and displays the event information selected by the use target selection unit 1050. And control for displaying the option information related to the option associated with the option on the display unit 15 separately from the option information related to the option other than the option.

  The “order determined based on the role” is an order in which the role can be identified by the order, the options associated with the first role are displayed side by side on the first side, and the options associated with the second role are displayed. Are displayed side by side on the second side. Here, the practice display control unit 1190 displays the practice of the fielder side by side in the specialty practice area A346 and the practice of the pitcher side by side.

[3-4. About the fourth technology]
In order to realize the fourth technology, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 includes a first effect generation unit 1021, a scenario selection unit 1200, and a scenario change unit 1210.

  The scenario selection unit 1200 selects one of a plurality of options related to the content of the game scenario based on a user operation. The “option regarding the content of the scenario” is an option for determining the content of the scenario, and in the present embodiment, is an option for the user to select the next section at the end of each section.

  The scenario changing unit 1210 changes the content of the game scenario based on the option selected by the scenario selecting unit 1200. The scenario changing unit 1210 advances the scenario selected by the user's operation among the plurality of types of scenarios in the success part.

  The first effect generator 1021 may have the same contents as those described in the first technology and the second technology. However, in the third technique, when a specific event character is selected from a plurality of event characters, the first effect generation unit 1021 generates a specific effect on the game corresponding to the specific event character. . Here, the specific event character is an event character associated with a specific effect, and has a predetermined rarity. The specific effect may be a predetermined effect, for example, an effect that enables the hero character to acquire a super special ability.

  When a specific option is selected from a plurality of options by the scenario selecting unit 1200, the first effect generating unit 1021 determines whether or not a specific event character has not been selected, in the game corresponding to the specific event character. A specific effect may be generated. The “specific option” is an option for proceeding to a predetermined scenario, for example, an option for proceeding to a scenario for a limited time. When the option for proceeding to the scenario for a limited time is selected, the first effect generation unit 1021 allows the hero character to acquire the super special ability even if the specific event character is not incorporated in the event deck.

  For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 may restrict the occurrence of a specific effect during a period other than a specific period, and may generate a specific effect within a specific period. Also, for example, the first effect generation unit 1021 restricts the scenario selection unit 1200 from selecting a specific option from a plurality of options other than the specific period, and the scenario selection unit 1200 The selection of a specific option from among the options may be allowed. In other words, it is not possible to select a scenario in which a super special ability can be obtained except during a specific period.

[3-5. Fifth technology]
In order to realize the fifth technology, in the present embodiment, the game system 1 includes a first update unit 3020, a second update unit 3030, a result determination unit 3040, a game providing unit 3050, and a challenge display control unit 3060. Including. Note that the present technology relates to a process performed between a user terminal 10 of a certain user and a user terminal 10 of a friend thereof, and is premised on a configuration in which a plurality of user terminals 10 can access the server 30. .

  As described above, the second game execution unit 1170 executes the stadium part based on the original character associated with the user ID and another game object. The other game object may be an original character associated with another user ID, or may be another game object. Other game objects are, for example, game characters prepared by the administrator of the game system 1.

  The first update unit 3020 stores the first result information stored in the data storage unit 3000 that stores the first result information indicating the result stored in the stadium part by the first user identified by the first user ID, as the first result. Update based on user game play. The second update unit 3030 transmits the second result information stored in the data storage unit 3000 that stores the second result information indicating the result stored in the stadium part by the second user identified by the second user ID to the second user. Update based on gameplay.

  The result is information indicating the content of the game or the quality of the result, and may be the progress of the game or the result of the game. In the present embodiment, the score obtained in the game in the stadium part corresponds to the result. When each of the first updating unit 3020 and the second updating unit 3030 receives the score obtained by the user in the game of the stadium part from the user terminal 10, the content is stored in the user table TBL301.

  The result determination unit 3040 determines, based on the first result information and the second result information, that the result of the second user is the result of the first user from the first state in which the result of the second user is lower than the result of the first user. It is determined whether the state has changed to a higher second state. When it is determined that the game state has changed from the first state to the second state, the game providing unit 3050 determines based on the original character associated with the first user ID and the original character associated with the second user ID. Control for providing the game to be executed to the first user. This game may be executed on a game object owned by each user, and is, for example, a battle game.

  For example, based on an operation performed by the first user in a state where the notification is displayed, the game providing unit 3050 determines whether the original character associated with the first user ID, the original character associated with the second user ID, Is provided to the first user.

  “Providing a game to a user” means transmitting a game program to the user terminal 10 or permitting execution of the game. Alternatively, for example, a process for prompting the user to play a match may be performed.

  The challenge display control unit 3060 outputs a notification indicating that a game is provided by the game providing unit 3050 to the display unit corresponding to the first user when it is determined that the state has changed from the first state to the second state. The control for displaying on the display 15 is executed. This notification may be made in a predetermined format, for example, by displaying the processing object P160 on the display unit 15.

[4. Processing executed in game system 1]
FIGS. 43 to 66 are flowcharts illustrating an example of processing executed in the game system 1. The processing illustrated in FIGS. 43 to 66 is executed by the control unit 11 operating according to the program stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 31 operating according to the program stored in the storage unit 32. In the embodiment, the functional blocks shown in FIG. 37 are realized by executing the processing described below. Note that the processing described below ends when a predetermined operation for ending the game is input from the input unit 14.

  As shown in FIG. 43, in the user terminal 10, when starting the program stored in the storage unit 12, the control unit 11 requests the server 30 for the latest program and data (S1001). For example, a version of the game program is stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 11 transmits the version.

  When communication from the user terminal 10 to the server 30 is performed, a user ID, an IP address, unique identification information of the user terminal 10, and the like are transmitted to the server 30, and the server 30 determines which user terminal 10 Can be identified. When the server 30 receives the user ID from the user terminal 10, the control unit 31 specifies the user ID from the communication content. When the server 30 receives the IP address and the unique identification information from the user terminal 10, the association between the IP address and the unique identification information and the user ID is stored in the storage unit 32 in advance, and the control unit 31 And the user ID is specified based on the association.

  In the server 30, when receiving the request, the control unit 31 transmits the latest data stored in the storage unit 32 to the user terminal 10 together with the latest program if the program of the user terminal 10 is not the latest (S3001). . The latest data here is, for example, data indicating a notice from the game provider to the user or data corresponding to the user ID in each table. In S3001, the control unit 31 compares the version received from the user terminal 10 with the latest program version stored in the storage unit 32. If the program of the user terminal 10 is the latest version, the control unit 31 does not transmit the program to the user terminal 10. Further, in S3001, the control unit 31 refers to the storage unit 32 and transmits various data associated with the user ID to the user terminal 10.

  In the user terminal 10, when receiving the latest program or data, the control unit 11 stores the latest program or data in the storage unit 12 (S1003). When the latest program is received, the control unit 11 terminates the present process once and restarts the game based on the latest program.

  The control unit 11 displays a predetermined notification screen image based on the data received from the server 30 (S1005), and refers to the user table TBL301 to determine whether a letter of challenge from a friend has arrived (S1007). ). In S1007, the control unit 11 determines whether the user ID is stored in the “challenge” field of the user table TBL301. When the user ID of the friend is stored, the control unit 11 determines that the challenge letter from the friend has arrived.

  The control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the home screen image G100 (FIGS. 2 and 34) based on the determination result of S1007 (S1009). In S1009, when the letter of challenge from the friend has arrived, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the home screen image G100 (FIG. 34) including the processing object P170. The image data of each image displayed on the display unit 15 is stored in the storage unit 12 in advance. This is the same in the following.

  The control unit 11 determines which processing object has been selected in the home screen image G100 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1011). In step S1011, the display position of each processing object is stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 11 determines which processing object corresponds to the position on the screen specified by the input unit 14. Will be. This point is the same in the subsequent processing for determining the selection of the processing object or the like.

  When the user selects the processing object P140 (S1011; P140), the process proceeds to FIG. 44, and the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the processing objects P141 to P143 (S1013). The control unit 11 determines whether any of the processing objects P141 to P143 has been selected based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1015).

  When the user selects any of the processing objects P141 to P143 (S1015; Y), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the hero registration screen image G200 (FIG. 4) (S1017). The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the hero registration screen image G200 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1019).

  When the user selects any of the processing objects P241 to P245 (S1019; P241 to P245), the control unit 11 executes a process of changing the registration information of the main character based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1019). S1021). In S1021, the control unit 11 reflects the content input from the input unit 14 in the hero registration area A240. Note that the input content is temporarily stored in the storage unit 12.

  On the other hand, when the user selects the processing object P250 (S1019; P250), the control unit 11 stores the registered contents of the main character in the original character table TBL304 (S1023), and sets the event deck setting screen image G300 (FIGS. 5 and 6). ) Is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1025). In S1025, control unit 11 creates a new record in original character table TBL304 stored in storage unit 12, issues an original character ID, and stores the content displayed in hero registration area A240 in the record. I do. The original character ID may be issued so as not to overlap with the one already stored in the original character table TBL304.

  In S1025, when updating the original character table TBL304 in the storage unit 12, the control unit 11 transmits the updated data to the server 30. The control unit 31 of the server 30 stores the received data in the original character table TBL304 of the storage unit 32. Similarly, after that, when the control unit 11 updates each table stored in the storage unit 12, the control unit 11 transmits the updated data to the server 30, and the control unit 31 updates the table in the storage unit 32. Will be. In this way, data consistency between the user terminal 10 and the server 30 is maintained. Note that the timing for obtaining the data consistency is not limited to the time of updating the table, and the data may be periodically made consistent, or the data may be made consistent according to the operation of the user.

And the bonus acquired at the current level is specified and displayed in the second area A420.

  When the user selects the third tab T423 (S1041; T423), the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 and causes the display unit 15 to display the profile of the event character (S1057). In S1057, control unit 11 specifies the profile indicated by the “profile” field of the record in which the event character ID indicated by event character screen image G400 is stored, and causes profile to be displayed in second area A420.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 45, in S1027, when the user taps any of the setting frames A344-1 to A344-5 (S1027; tap operation), the process proceeds to FIG. 47, and the control unit 11 stores the event character table TBL302 in With reference to the event character change screen image G600 (FIG. 9, 31), the display unit 15 is displayed (S1059).

  In S1059, the control unit 11 refers to the event deck table TBL303 to specify the event character currently incorporated in the event deck, and the specified event character is described as “in use” in the event character list area A640. Display. Further, if the event character ID of the special effect character is stored in the event deck table TBL303 while the period-limited event is being performed, the special effect character superimposes and displays the score bonus in the event character list area A640. . Further, the control unit 11 refers to the event deck table TBL303 to specify an event character other than the above, and displays the specified event character in the event character list area A640.

  The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the event character change screen image G600 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1061). When the user selects the processing object P641 (S1061; P641), the control unit 11 updates the event deck table TBL303 so as to remove the event character tapped in S1027 from the event deck (S1063). In S1063, the control unit 11 deletes the event character ID of the event character tapped in S1027 from the event deck table TBL303.

  When the user selects the processing object corresponding to the event character in the event character list area A640 (S1061; event character), the control unit 11 updates the event deck table TBL303 so as to incorporate the event character into the event deck. (S1065). In S1065, the control unit 11 deletes the event character ID of the event character tapped in S1027 from the event deck table TBL303, and stores the event character ID of the event character indicated by the processing object selected by the user in the event deck table TBL303. Store.

  When the user selects the processing object P650 (S1061; P650), the control unit 11 rearranges the event characters in the event character list area A640 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1067). In S1067, the user selects a display order condition from the input unit 14. Then, the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 and rearranges the event characters in the event character list area A640 based on the condition selected by the user.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 45, in S1027, when the user selects the setting frame A345 (S1027; A345), the process proceeds to FIG. 48, and the control unit 11 inquires of the server 30 about candidates for helpers (S1069). The helper candidate is an event character set as a leader of another user.

  In the server 30, upon receiving the inquiry, the control unit 31 refers to the event character table TBL302 and transmits data relating to the event character set as the leader of another user to the user terminal 10 (S3003). In S3003, the control unit 31 transmits a predetermined number of data to the user terminal 10 among records in which user IDs other than the user ID that transmitted the inquiry are stored. The control unit 31 may randomly select a predetermined number of data, or may select such that the combination of the event character's good practice becomes a predetermined combination. That is, the control unit 31 may select the event characters that are candidates for the helper so that the best practice is not the same. In addition, the control unit 31 may preferentially select a leader of a friend of the user as a candidate for a helper. Further, when the user selects a friend's leader as a helper, a predetermined effect may be generated in the success part. This effect includes, for example, an increase in the amount of experience points when a friend's leader's specialty practice is selected, an increase in the initial value of the leader's evaluation, and an increase in the probability of events related to the leader. And so on. That is, when the user selects a friend's leader as a helper, an effect may be produced in which the user is more advantageous in the success part than when a leader who is not a friend is selected as a helper.

  In the user terminal 10, upon receiving the data, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a list of candidate assistants based on the received data (S1071), and based on the input from the input unit 14, Set the selected helper in the setting frame A345 (S1073). The event deck setting area A340 in this case is as shown in FIG. In S1073, control unit 11 stores the event character ID of the assistant selected by the user in the “event deck” field of original character table TBL304.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 45, in S1027, when the user selects the processing object P350 (S1027; P350), the process proceeds to FIG. 49, and the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a video of the opening of the success part. Later (S1075), the main command screen image G800 (FIG. 12) is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1077). Note that the control unit 11 stores in the original character table TBL304 the respective initial values of the ability parameter, physical strength parameter, motivation parameter, experience point, and evaluation from other characters of the main character. These values may be fixed values or may fluctuate randomly.

  The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the main command screen image G800 (FIG. 12) based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1079). When the user selects the processing object P841 (S1079; P841), the process proceeds to FIG. 50, and the control unit 11 displays the practice screen image G900 (FIG. 13) on the display unit 15 (S1081). In S1081, the control unit 11 randomly determines which of the event objects and other characters incorporated in the event deck will participate in the practice indicated by each of the processing objects P921 to P926, and stores the determination result. It is held in the unit 12.

  The control unit 11 determines which processing object has been selected in the practice screen image G900 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1083). When the user selects any of the processing objects P921 to P926 (S1083; P921 to P926), the control unit 11 causes the cursor object C927 to be displayed so as to indicate the selected processing object (S1085), and the experience point area The display of A930 and the game character area A940 is updated (S1087).

  In S1087, the control unit 11 calculates an experience point that increases when the user exercises the processing object selected based on the mathematical formula described in the game program, and displays the calculated experience point in the experience point area A930. Let it. In this formula, the relationship between each practice, the type of the experience point that increases, and the increase value is defined. Note that this relationship may be stored in the storage unit 12 as a table instead of a mathematical expression. For example, the control unit 11 acquires the type of experience point and the increase value associated with the practice of the processing object selected by the user. Then, the control unit 11 refers to the determination result in S1081 to determine whether or not the event character that is good at practicing the processing of the processing object selected by the user participates in the practice. Increase the above obtained rise value. This increment may be a fixed value or a variable value. For example, the control unit 11 may determine the increase at random, or may increase the increase as the rarity or the level parameter of the event character is higher. The control unit 11 displays the increase value calculated as described above in the experience point area A930, and displays the determination result in S1081 in the game character area A940.

  The control unit 11 determines whether the processing object selected in S1083 is selected again based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1089). If the user selects again (S1089; Y), the control unit 11 increases the ability parameter of the hero character by the increase value determined in S, and sets the event character and other characters of the event character and the other characters that participated in the practice together. The original character table TBL304 is updated so that the evaluation increases by a predetermined value (S1091), and the practice result screen image G1000 (FIG. 14) and the event screen image G1100 (FIG. 15) are displayed on the display unit 15 (S1093).

  In S1093, the control unit 11 displays the message area A1030 so as to indicate the increase value of the ability parameter of the hero character and indicate the increase value of the evaluation parameter of the event character and other characters that participated in the practice. The increase value of the evaluation parameter may be a fixed value or may be changed randomly. In addition, the control unit 11 displays the dog character C1040 on the practice result screen image G1000 with a given probability, and gives the user a randomly determined game item. As described above, this probability may be set in the storage unit 12 in advance, but if the notice screen image G1400 is displayed at the start of the section, the control unit 11 increases this probability. In addition, the control unit 11 may update the user table TBL301 so that the game item is provided at the time of S1093, or may update the user table TBL301 so that the game item is provided at the end of the section. Good.

  Further, in S1093, the control unit 11 determines whether or not to generate a game event of the event character that has participated in the practice at a given probability. For example, the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302, specifies a game event of the event character that has participated in the training together, and determines whether to generate the specified game event with the above probability. Will be. Note that the probability of occurrence may differ or may be the same for each game event. When determining to generate a game event, the control unit 11 displays the event screen image G1100 on the display unit 15 and updates the original character table TBL304 such that the parameters of the main character change (increase or decrease). Note that the relationship between the game event, the type of the changing parameter (at least one of the ability parameter, the physical strength parameter, the motivation parameter, the experience point, and the evaluation parameter) and the amount of change are stored in the storage unit 12 in advance. What should I do? The control unit 11 updates the original character table TBL304 so that the type of parameter associated with the generated game event is changed by the change amount.

  Further, in S1093, if the scenario for a limited time is in progress, the control unit 11 determines whether or not to generate a game event for the hero character to acquire the super special ability based on a given probability. decide. Note that the control unit 11 may randomly generate this game event. When determining to generate a game event, the control unit 11 displays the event screen image G1100 on the display unit 15 and updates the original character table TBL304 so that the hero character learns the super special ability.

  Note that, in S1089, the control unit 11 may cause the hero character to be injured due to a failure in practice with a given probability. In this case, the processing of S1091 and S1093 is not performed. For example, the control unit 11 determines the probability of the main character being injured based on the physical strength parameter of the main character. When the main character is injured, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image indicating that the main character is injured, and reduces the original character table so that the ability parameter of the main character is reduced by a predetermined value. The TBL 304 may be updated.

  When the user selects the processing object P950 in S1083 (S1083; P950), the process returns to S1077. On the other hand, when the user selects the processing object P812 (S1083; P812), the control unit 11 displays a given menu screen image on the display unit 15, and suspends the success part based on the input from the input unit 14. Alternatively, a cancellation or various setting processes are executed (S1095).

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 49, in S1079, when the user selects the processing object P842 (S1079; P842), the control unit 11 generates a game event in which the main character rests (S1097), and the physical strength parameter of the main character is set to a predetermined value. The original character table TBL304 is updated so as to recover only the value (S1099). Here, generating the game event means that the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a predetermined screen image indicating the game event. This is the same in the following description. In S1099, the control unit 11 may randomly change the recovery value of the physical strength parameter, or may change the state of the hero character with a given probability (for example, to become insomnia). Good.

  When the user selects the processing object P846 (S1079; P846), the process proceeds to FIG. 51, where the control unit 11 refers to the original character table TBL304 and causes the display unit 15 to display the ability change screen image G1200 (FIG. 16) (FIG. 16). S1101). In S1101, the control unit 11 displays the first area G1210 based on the data stored in the “ability parameter” field of the hero character, and displays the first area G1210 based on the data stored in the “experience point” field. The two regions G1220 will be displayed. Note that data indicating the relationship between each ability parameter and the experiential point to be consumed is stored in the storage unit 12, and based on this data, the control unit 11 stores each processing object P1223 in the second area G1220. The relationship between -1 to P1223-7 and the experiential point consumed is displayed.

  The control unit 11 determines which processing object or tab is selected in the ability change screen image G1200 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1103).

  When the user selects the pitcher ability tab T1211, the fielder ability tab T1212 (S1103; T1211, T1212), the control unit 11 executes the entire ability change screen image G1200 based on the selected pitcher ability tab T1211, fielder ability tab T1212. Is updated (S1105). In S1105, the control unit 11 refers to the original character table TBL304 and, when the user selects the pitcher ability tab T1211, displays the ability parameter relating to the pitcher in the “ability parameter” field of the main character in the first area G1210. When the user selects the fielder ability tab T1212, the ability parameter relating to the fielder in the “ability parameter” field of the main character is displayed in the first area G1210.

  When the user selects the basic ability tab T1221 and the special ability tab T1222 (S1103; T1221, T1222), the control unit 11 determines the second area G1220 (FIG. 10) based on the selected basic ability tab T1221 and special ability tab T1222. The display of (16, 17) is updated (S1107). In S1107, the control unit 11 refers to the original character table TBL304 and, when the user selects the basic ability tab T1221, sets the ability parameter relating to the basic ability in the “skill parameter” field of the main character to the second area G1220. When the special ability tab T1222 is selected by the user, the ability parameter related to the special ability in the “ability parameter” field of the main character is displayed in the second area G1220.

  When the user selects any of the processing objects P1223-1 to P1223-6 (S1103; P1223-1 to P1223-6), the control unit 11 consumes the experience point points of the main character and the selected character is selected. The capability parameter associated with the processing object is improved (S1109). In S1109, the control unit 11 causes the storage unit 12 to temporarily store the ability parameter of the master character and the amount of change in the experience point.

  If the user has selected the processing object P1230 (S1103; P1230), the process returns to S1077. When the user selects the processing object P1240 (S1103; P1240), the control unit 11 returns the hero character's ability parameters and experience points to the state before the change (S1111). In S1111, the control unit 11 resets the change amount of the ability parameter and the experience point stored in the storage unit 12. The control unit 11 executes the process of S1111 to return the ability change screen image G1200 to a state before the ability parameter and the experience point of the hero character are changed.

  When the user selects the processing object P1250 (S1103; P1250), the control unit 11 updates the original character table TBL304 so that the hero character's ability parameters and experience points indicate the changed values (S1113). It returns to S1077. In S1113, the control unit 11 refers to the change amount of the ability parameter and the experience point stored in the storage unit 12, and changes the values stored in the “ability parameter” field and the “experience point” field to the change. It will be increased or decreased by an amount.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 49, when the user selects the processing object P843 in S1079 (S1079; P843), the control unit 11 generates a game event in which the main character goes to the hospital (S1115), and the state parameter of the main character is changed. The original character table TBL304 is updated so as to change (S1117). In S1117, the control unit 11 determines whether or not to recover the state parameter of the hero character with a given probability, and updates the original character table TBL304 when it is determined to be recovered. . For example, when the state parameter indicates that the protagonist character is injured or ill, the control unit 11 determines whether or not to treat the injury or illness based on the above-described probability and performs treatment. When determined, the state parameter is changed so that the hero character indicates a healthy state.

  When the user selects the processing object P844 (S1079; P844), the control unit 11 generates a game event in which the main character plays (S1119), and updates the original character table TBL304 such that the parameters of the main character change. (S1121). For example, a plurality of types of game events for play are prepared, and the control unit 11 determines an occurring game event based on a user operation or randomly. In addition, data indicating the relationship between the game event and the type and the amount of change of the parameter is stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 11 determines that the parameter of the type associated with the generated game event is only the amount of change. The parameters of the hero character are changed so as to change.

  When the user selects the processing object P845 (S1079; P845), the control unit 11 generates a game event dating the main character (S1123), and updates the original character table TBL304 so that the parameters of the main character change. (S1125). For example, a plurality of types of dating game events are prepared, and the control unit 11 determines or randomly determines a game event to occur based on a user operation. In addition, data indicating the relationship between the game event and the type and the amount of change of the parameter is stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 11 determines that the parameter of the type associated with the generated game event is only the amount of change. The parameters of the hero character are changed so as to change.

  When the user selects the processing object P821 (S1079; P821), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a log of an event that has occurred in the success part (S1127). For example, the control unit 11 records the conversation history of each character in the event that has occurred in the success part in the storage unit 12, and in S1127, the control unit 11 displays the log of the event on the display unit based on the contents. 15 will be displayed.

  When the user selects the processing object P822 (S1079; P822), the control unit 11 updates the auto flag stored in the user table TBL301 (S1129). When the user selects the processing object P823 (S1079; P823), the control unit 11 updates the skip flag stored in the user table TBL301 (S1131). When the user selects the processing object P824 (S1079; P824), the control unit 11 updates the shortcut flag stored in the user table TBL301 (S1133).

  When the user selects the processing object P812 (S1079; P812), the control unit 11 displays a given menu screen image on the display unit 15, and suspends or cancels the success part based on the input from the input unit 14. And various setting processes are executed (S1135).

  After the processing of S1099 or the like is executed, the procedure moves to FIG. 52, and the control unit 11 determines whether or not the current section is completed with reference to the original character table TBL304 (S1137). In S1137, the control unit 11 determines whether the current number of turns stored in the original character table TBL304 is the last turn.

  When it is determined that the current section is not completed (S1137; N), the control unit 11 executes a process that proceeds to the next turn (S1139). In S1139, control unit 11 increases the number of turns stored in original character table TBL304.

  When it is determined that the current section has ended (S1139; Y), the control unit 11 determines whether the current section is the last section (S1141). In S1141, the control unit 11 determines whether the current section stored in the original character table TBL304 is the last section.

  When it is determined that the section is not the last section (S1141; N), the control unit 11 displays the section completion screen image G1300 on the display unit 15 with reference to the original character table TBL304 (S1143). The control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the section completion screen image G1300 indicating the experience point stored in the “experience point” field of the original character table TBL304.

  The control unit 11 determines whether to increase the treasure chest discovery probability based on a predetermined method (S1145). In S1145, the control unit 11 may randomly determine whether to increase the treasure chest discovery probability, or may determine whether or not the number of experience points in the section is equal to or more than a predetermined value.

  When it is determined that the treasure box discovery probability is to be increased (S1145; Y), the control unit 11 displays the notice screen image G1400 on the display unit 15 (S1147). The control unit 11 executes a process for proceeding to the next section based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1149). In S1149, the control unit 11 displays the option of the next section on the display unit 15, and advances the next section based on the section indicated by the option selected by the user. Note that the control unit 11 stores information for identifying the next section in the “breeding status” field of the original character table TBL304.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S1141 that the section is the last section (S1141; Y), the control unit 11 executes a process of ending the success part (S1151), and returns to S1009. In S1151, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image indicating that the success part has been completed. Then, the control unit 11 updates the original character table TBL304 based on the input from the input unit 14 so that the ability parameter of the main character is determined. The control unit 11 registers the hero character having the determined ability parameter in the original character table TBL304 as an original character, and updates the “training status” field to “training completed”.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 43, when the user selects the processing object P150 in S1011 (S1011; P150), the process proceeds to FIG. 53, and the control unit 11 refers to the user table TBL301 and refers to the processing objects P151 and P152 34) is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1153). If the period is not the period-limited event, the processing object P152 is not displayed. The control unit 11 determines which processing object has been selected in the home screen image G100 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1155).

  When the user selects the processing object P151 (S1155; P151), the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL305 and starts a normal game based on a normal order. Thereafter, a normal game is performed in the flow of S2 to S14 described above, but a more specific description will be given here.

  The control unit 11 refers to the user table TBL301 and causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image indicating information such as a league and a ranking of the user (S1157). The information of the opponent candidate is requested (S1159).

  When the server 30 receives the request, the control unit 31 refers to the user table TBL301, selects a predetermined number of opponent candidates (S3005), and transmits information on the selected opponent candidate to the user terminal 10. (S3007). In S3007, the control unit 31 selects a predetermined number of other users (for example, five users) having the same strength as the user based on the user's rank, league, ranking, and the like. Other users selected here may be users who have no friendship. The control unit 31 refers to the user table TBL301 and the event character table TBL302, and transmits information such as the selected opponent candidate user name, rank, and the event character set as the leader to the user terminal 10.

  In the user terminal 10, when receiving the information of the opponent candidate, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image indicating the opponent candidate (S1161). In this screen image, a plurality of opponent candidates are displayed so as to be selectable. The control unit 11 determines an opponent based on a user operation (S1163), and requests an order of the opponent (S1165). This request includes the user ID determined as the opponent.

  In the server 30, when receiving the order request, the control unit 31 refers to the order table TBL305, acquires information on the order of the user determined as the opponent, and transmits the information to the user terminal 10 (S3009).

  In the user terminal 10, upon receiving the order information, the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL305 and displays a screen image indicating the user's starting order and the opponent's starting order on the display unit 15. (S1167). In this screen image, the starting order, name, position, and rank of the original character in the starting order are displayed along with the team name.

  The control unit 11 specifies a user operation based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1169). For example, it is assumed that the user can perform an operation for changing the order and an operation for fixing the order and determining the condition.

  When the user performs an operation for changing the order (S1169; order change), the control unit 11 displays the normal order edit screen image G2200 on the display unit 15 and edits the order based on the input from the input unit 14. The process is executed (S1171), and the process returns to S1167. The processing of S1171 is the same as S1283 to S1293, which will be described later, and a description thereof will not be repeated.

  When the user determines the order and performs an operation for determining the condition (S1169; order determination), the process proceeds to FIG. 54, and the control unit 11 determines the condition of the starting order of the user and the opponent (S1173). . In step S1173, the control unit 11 randomly determines any of a plurality of levels of the tone for each original character in the starting order, and stores the determined tone in the storage unit 12.

  The control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the result of the tone determination in S1173 (S1175), and displays a screen image for selecting a game item to be used in the game with reference to the user table TBL301. (S1177). In S1177, the control unit 11 causes the game item stored in the "item" field of the user table TBL301 to be displayed in a selectable manner.

  The control unit 11 specifies a user operation based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1179). For example, it is assumed that the user can perform an operation for selecting a game item, an operation for specifying a game progress method, and an operation for starting a game. Here, as the method of proceeding the match, it is assumed here that either the match can be automatically advanced or the user can operate the original character in a predetermined scene.

  When the user performs an operation for selecting a game item (S1179; game item), the control unit 11 stores the game item selected by the user in the storage unit 12 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1181). ). When the user has performed an operation for designating the game proceeding method (S1179; proceeding method), the control unit 11 stores information indicating the proceeding method designated by the user in the storage unit 12 (S1183).

  When the user performs an operation for starting a match (S1179; start of a match), the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so as to consume one match ticket (S1185), and starts the match (S1185). S1187). In S1187, control unit 11 updates user table TBL301 so that the game item selected by the user is consumed. Then, the control unit 11 proceeds with the game based on the progress method specified by the user. When all the games are to be automatically advanced, the control unit 11 automatically advances from the start to the end of the game without any operation by the user. On the other hand, when the user operates the original character in a predetermined scene, the control unit 11 automatically advances the game, and causes the user to operate the original character when the game reaches the predetermined scene. The scene in which the user can operate may be determined in advance. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the score obtained when the user performs the operation increases, the number of scenes in which the user can perform the operation may be limited to a predetermined number of times. As a method for proceeding with the game itself, various known methods for proceeding with a sports game may be applicable.

  The control unit 11 calculates a score obtained by the user in the game based on the execution result of the game (S1189), and transmits the calculated score to the server 30 (S1119). For example, data indicating the relationship between the content and result of the game and the increase / decrease of the score is stored in the storage unit 12, and in S1189, the control unit 11 uses the score increase / decrease associated with the content and the result of the game. , Calculate the score the user has won in the match. This relationship is, for example, +1000 points if a match is won, -200 points if a goal is lost, +2000 points if the original character operated by the user hits, and +100 points if an original character not operated by the user hits. It is determined as follows.

  In server 30, upon receiving the score, control unit 31 determines the ranking of the user with reference to user table TBL301 (S3011), and determines whether the user has overtaken the score of the friend (S3013). In S3013, the control unit 31 may determine the ranking among all the users, or may determine the ranking within the league to which the user belongs. If the user has not updated the highest score, the processing of S3011 to S3017 may be omitted.

  When it is determined that the vehicle has passed (S3013; Y), the control unit 31 executes a process for sending a challenge letter to a friend (S3015). In S3015, control unit 31 stores the user ID in the “challenge” field of the record corresponding to the friend in user table TBL301.

  The control unit 31 transmits the latest ranking of the user to the user terminal 10 (S3017). When the user overtakes the score of the friend, information indicating that the challenge letter has been sent is also transmitted to the user terminal 10, and the fact is displayed on the display unit 15 in the user terminal 10. .

  In the user terminal 10, when receiving the ranking, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image indicating the result of the game on the display unit 15 (S1193). 15 is displayed (S1195). The control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so as to update the ranking of the user and the like (S1197). In S1195, the control unit 11 displays on the screen image the scores, the wins and losses of both teams, the scores obtained in the game, the breakdown of the scores, the user's best score, the number of medals obtained, the acquired gacha points, and the like.

  On the other hand, in S1155, when the user selects the processing object P152 (S1155; P152), the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL305 and starts the game of the period-limited event based on the order for the period-limited event. (S1199 to S1239). The processing of S1199 to S1239 is the same as that of S1157 to S1197, respectively. However, in S1231, the control unit 11 determines whether or not there is an original character with a score bonus given to the user's order based on the order table TBL305. Increase the score by the score bonus. If there are a plurality of original characters to which the score bonus has been given, the control unit 11 increases the score by the total of the score bonuses of the plurality of original characters. In this regard, S1231 and S1189 are different.

  On the other hand, returning to FIG. 43, when the user selects the processing object P160 in S1011 (S1011; P160), the control unit 11 executes a process related to the challenge part (S1241). For example, data indicating the relationship between each goal to be achieved by the user, the reward, and the achievement status of the user is stored in the storage unit 12, and in S1241, the control unit 11 determines based on the data A screen image indicating the goal achieved by the user and the goal not achieved is displayed on the display unit 15. When the user newly achieves the goal, the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so that a reward (game item, coin, or the like) associated with the achieved goal is given to the user.

  When the user selects the processing object P170 (S1011; P170), the process proceeds to FIG. 57, and the control unit 11 refers to the user table TBL301 and displays a screen image showing a list of friends who sent the challenge letter on the display unit 15. Then, based on the input from the input unit 14, an opponent is determined from the friends to whom the challenge letter has been sent (S1245). Subsequent steps S1247 to S1277 are the same as steps S1165 to S1197. However, as described above, the match ticket is not consumed in the battle with the friend using the challenge letter, so that S1185 is not executed.

  On the other hand, when the user selects the processing objects P121 to P125, P130 and the like in S1011 and the like, the common routine shown in FIG. 59 is executed. When the user selects the processing object P121 (FIG. 59: P121), the process returns to S1009, and the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the home screen image G100.

  When the user selects the processing object P122 (FIG. 59: P122), the process proceeds to FIG. 60, and the control unit 11 displays the my team menu screen image G2100 on the display unit 15 (S1279). The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the my team menu screen image G2100 (FIG. 28) based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1281).

  When the user selects the processing object P2140 (S1281; P2140), the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL305 and causes the display unit 15 to display the normal order edit screen image G2200 (FIG. 29) (S1283). The control unit 11 specifies a user operation based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1285).

  When the user performs an operation of exchanging orders (S1285; exchange operation), the control unit 11 updates the order table TBL305 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1287). In S1287, the control unit 11 replaces the two original characters based on the input from the input unit 14. The operation of exchanging orders is as described above.

  When the user selects the processing object P2240 (S1285; P2240), the control unit 11 refers to the original character table TBL304 and automatically determines an order (S1289). In S1289, the control unit 11 determines that the order includes an original character having a high ability parameter and an original character having a large total of experience points acquired in the success part.

  When the user selects the processing object P2250 (S1285; P2250), the control unit 11 returns the order to the original (S1291). For example, the order at the time of displaying the normal order edit screen image G2200 is stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 11 returns the contents of the order table TBL305 to this order.

  When the user selects the processing object P2270 (S1285; P2270), the control unit 11 determines a pitcher appointment method based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1293). In S1293, the control unit 11 updates the order table TBL305 so as to use the designation method specified by the input unit 14. When the user selects the processing object P2280 (S1285; P2280), the process returns to S1279.

  On the other hand, in S1281, when the user selects the processing object P2150 (S1281; P2150), the process proceeds to FIG. 61, where the control unit 11 refers to the order table TBL305 and displays the limited-time order editing screen image G2300 (FIG. 30). It is displayed on the unit 15 (S1295). Thereafter, the processing in S1297 to S1305 is the same as that in S1285 to S1293. In step S1295, if there is an event character associated with the score bonus, the control unit 11 displays the total value of the score bonus of the event character and the score bonus in the current order. Specifically, the control unit 11 refers to the original character table TBL304 and determines whether or not the event character ID of the special effect character is stored in the “event deck” field of the original character included in the order. Then, when it is determined that the event character ID of the special effect character is stored, the control unit 11 acquires the score bonus of the special effect character and displays it on the limited time order editing screen image G2300. The information indicating the score bonus of each special effect character is stored in the storage unit 12.

  In S1281, when the user selects the processing object P2160 (S1281; P2160), the control unit 11 refers to the original character table TBL304 and causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image showing a list of original characters (S1307). .

  When the user selects the processing object P2170 (S1281; P2170), the control unit 11 executes an original character editing process based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1309). In the editing process of the original character, for example, the name, appearance, hitting form, etc. of the original character can be changed according to the input from the input unit 14.

  Returning to FIG. 59, in S1011 and the like, when the user selects the processing object P123 (FIG. 59; P123), the process proceeds to FIG. 62, and the control unit 11 displays the event character menu screen image G1500 (FIG. 20) on the display unit 15. It is displayed (S1311). The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the event character menu screen image G1500 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1313).

  When the user selects the processing object P1540 (S1313; P1540), the control unit 11 displays the event deck edit screen image G1600 (FIGS. 21 and 22) on the display unit 15 with reference to the event deck table TBL303 (S1315). ). Thereafter, the processing of S1317 to S1327 is the same as that of S1027 to S1037.

  In S1313, when the user selects the processing object P1550 (S1313; P1550), the process proceeds to FIG. 64, where the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302, and displays the base character selection screen image G1700 (FIG. 23) on the display unit 15. Is displayed (S1329). The control unit 11 determines which processing object has been selected in the base character selection screen image G1700 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1331).

  When the user selects the processing object P1750 (S1331; P1750), the control unit 11 rearranges the event characters in the event character list area A1740 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1333). The processing of S1333 is the same as that of S1067.

  When the user selects a processing object of one of the event characters in the event character list area A1740 (S1331; event character), the process proceeds to FIG. 65, where the control unit 11 sets the enhanced screen image in which the event character is set as the base character. G1800 (FIG. 24) is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1335). The event character ID of the base character selected by the user is temporarily stored in the storage unit 12. If the user has long-pressed any event character in the event character list area A1740, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 to display the event character screen image G400 on the display unit 15. Is also good. Similarly, even when the user performs a long press operation on any of the material characters in the material character area A1850, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 and causes the display unit 15 to display the event character screen image G400. Is also good.

  The control unit 11 determines whether any processing object has been selected in the enhanced screen image G1800 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1337). When the user selects the material character area A1850 (S1337; A1850), the process proceeds to FIG. 66, where the control unit 11 displays the material character selection screen image G1900 on the display unit 15 with reference to the event character table TBL302 (S1339). . Note that, even when the user performs a long-press operation on any of the material characters in the event character list area A1940, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 and displays the event character screen image G400 on the display unit 15. Is also good.

  In S1339, control unit 11 compares the base character held in storage unit 12 with each event character stored in event character table TBL302, and the user owns the same event character as the base character. Is determined. When it is determined that the user owns the same event character as the base character, the control unit 11 increases the highest level of the base character based on the rarity of the base character and the rarity of the event character. Is calculated. As this calculation method, as described above, the control unit 11 sets the probability to 100% if the event character same as the base character has the same or higher rarity as the rarity of the base character, and sets the probability lower by one step than the base character. The probability is set to a value of less than 100% (for example, 30%) for a rarity of 0, and the probability is set to 0% for a rarity of two or less levels of the base character. Further, the control unit 11 may calculate so that the probability increases as the amount of increase of the highest level of the base character at the present time (that is, how much the base character increases from the initial value of the highest level) increases, The calculation may be such that the higher the rarity of the base character, the lower the probability. Further, the control unit 11 refers to the “event deck” field of the original character table TBL304, specifies the number of original characters bred in a state where the base character is incorporated in the event deck, and increases the probability as the number increases. May be calculated to be higher. And the control part 11 will display the probability calculated for every event character same as the base character in the material character selection screen image G1900. Note that, even if an event character different from the base character is used as a material character, the highest level of the base character cannot be increased, so that the control unit 11 does not calculate a probability for an event character different from the base character. Also, the probability is not displayed in the material character selection screen image G1900.

  The control unit 11 determines which processing object is selected in the material character selection screen image G1900 based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1341). When the user selects the processing object of the event character in the event character list area A1940 (S1341; event character), the control unit 11 stores the processing object in the storage unit 12 as the material character (S1343). In S <b> 1343, the control unit 11 calculates the experience value obtained by the base character by the material character selected by the user, the rising level, and the coins required for reinforcement, and displays the calculated coins in the area A <b> 1950. Experience values and necessary coins that can be obtained by each event character are stored in the storage unit 12 in advance. If the user performs a long-press operation on any one of the event characters in the event character list area A1940, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 to display the event character screen image G400 on the display unit 15. Is also good.

  When the user selects the processing object P1960 (S1341; P1960), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the enhanced screen image G1800 in which the material character is set in the material character area A1850 (S1345). In S1345, when the same material character as the base character is selected, the control unit 11 increases the probability of increasing the highest level of the base character for each material character same as the base character, as in S1339, by enhancing the screen image G1800. Will be displayed. Further, as described above, since the material character different from the base character cannot increase the highest level of the base character, no probability is displayed in the enhanced screen image G1800.

  When the user selects the processing object P1970 (S1341; P1970), the control unit 11 cancels the selection of the material characters selected so far (S1347). In this case, the control unit 11 clears the material character stored in the storage unit 12.

  Referring back to FIG. 65, in S1337, when the user selects the processing object P1860 (S1337; P1860), the control unit 11 executes enhancement of the base character based on the material character selected by the user (S1349), and enhances the character. The result window G2000 is displayed on the display unit 15 (S1351).

  In S1349, the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so as to consume the coin calculated in S1343, and updates the event character table TBL302 so as to increase by the experience value and the level calculated in S1343. When one or more material characters that are the same as the base character are selected, the control unit 11 determines, for each material character, the base character based on the probability of increasing the highest level of the base character corresponding to the material character. Will determine whether or not to increase the maximum level. Thereafter, upon receiving an operation of selecting the processing object P2010 based on the input from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 returns to S1311.

  When the user selects the processing object P1870 in S1337 (S1337; P1870), the control unit 11 cancels the selection of the material character selected in the material character area A1850 (S1353). In this case, the control unit 11 clears the material character stored in the storage unit 12.

  Returning to FIG. 62, in S1313, when the user selects the processing object P1560 (S1313; P1560), the control unit 11 executes a sale process of the event character based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1355). In S1355, control unit 11 specifies an event character designated as a sale target by the user based on an input from input unit 14. Then, the control unit 11 deletes the record of the sold event character from the event character table TBL302, and updates the user table TBL301 so that the number of coins owned by the user increases by a predetermined number. It is assumed that data indicating the relationship between the event character and the coin at the time of sale is stored in the storage unit 12 in advance.

  When the user selects the processing object P1570 (S1313; P1570), the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 and causes the display unit 15 to display a list of event characters (S1357). When the user performs a long-press operation on any one of the event characters in the event character list, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 and causes the display unit 15 to display the event character screen image G400. Good.

  When the user selects the processing object P1580 (S1313; P1580), the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL302 and causes the display unit 15 to display the picture book (S1359). If the user performs a long press operation on any event character in the pictorial book of the event character, the control unit 11 proceeds to S1039 and causes the display unit 15 to display the event character screen image G400. Good.

  When the user selects the processing object P1590 (S1313; P1590), the control unit 11 executes the process of expanding the event character list based on the input from the input unit 14 (S1361). Information indicating the number of event characters that can be owned by the user in the event character list may be stored in the user table TBL301 or the like. In S1361, the control unit 11 executes a list expansion process by consuming the power stone.

  Returning to FIG. 59, in S1011 and the like, when the user selects the processing object P124 (FIG. 59; P124), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display a screen image for the user to play, and the input unit 14 The gacha process is executed based on the input from (S1363). In S1363, the control unit 11 updates the user table TBL301 so as to consume the user's gacha points. Then, the control unit 11 determines an event character to be given to the user from the plurality of event characters with a given probability. Note that various known techniques can be applied to the gacha processing itself. For example, the process of selecting an event character to be given to the user may be performed by the server 30. In this case, in the server 30, the control unit 31 updates the user table TBL301 so that the user's gacha points are consumed, and provides the user with a given probability from among a plurality of event characters. The event character will be determined. The control unit 31 transmits data indicating the selected event character to the user terminal 10, and a screen image indicating the event character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  In S1011 or the like, when the user selects the processing object P125 (FIG. 59; P125), the control unit 11 displays a screen image of the shop on the display unit 15, and displays the game item on the display unit 15 based on the input from the input unit 14. A purchase process is executed (S1365). In S1365, control unit 11 updates user table TBL301 such that the user's medals are consumed and game items are purchased. It should be noted that various known techniques can be applied to the game item purchase processing itself.

  In S1011 and the like, when the user selects the processing object P130 (P130 in FIG. 59), the control unit 11 displays a menu screen image on the display unit 15, and performs various menu processing based on the input from the input unit 14. Is executed (S1367). When the user selects the processing object P230 or the like in S1019 or the like (FIG. 59; P230 or the like), the control unit 11 executes a process of returning to the screen image displayed immediately before the current screen image. (S1369).

[Summary of First Technology]
According to the game system 1 described above, in the bonus detailed screen image G500, it is possible to see the correspondence between the level parameter of the event character and the effect that occurs in the success part. Therefore, it is possible to easily understand the influence on the change of the ability parameter of the main character. For example, by seeing this correspondence before the user selects the base character, the user carefully considers the effect that occurs when the level parameter of the base character changes, and then selects and enhances the base character. be able to. In other words, it is possible to easily grasp how much the level parameter of the base character should be changed to obtain a desired effect.

  Further, when the effect is determined for each range of a plurality of level parameters divided stepwise as in the present embodiment, the bonus detailed screen image G500 is displayed to display the relationship between each range and the effect. Can be easily grasped. That is, it is possible to easily understand to what extent the level parameter of the event character can be changed to obtain a desired effect. Further, by dividing the range of the level parameter step by step, the user can strengthen the event character toward the next step in order to obtain a more advantageous effect, so that the user can easily set a goal.

  Further, since an effect associated with the range of the level parameter to which the value from the initial value to the current value of the level parameter of the event character belongs is generated, the effect that occurs at the present time and the effect that does not occur at the present time (increase the level parameter in the future) By discriminating between the bonus detail screen image G500 and the effect that may occur if the bonus detail screen image G500, these can be easily grasped. In addition, by displaying the bonus detail screen image G500 that distinguishes between the effect that occurs at the present time and the effect that does not occur at the present time, the level parameter of the event character can be selected from the range of the step parameters that are divided step by step. Can easily grasp the range to which the current value of belongs.

  Also, as in the present embodiment, when a predetermined operation is performed from the event character screen image G400, the bonus detailed screen image G500 is displayed, so that when the user wants to confirm, the event character level parameter The corresponding relationship with the effect can be displayed. In the case where the correspondence information is displayed while an image for accepting an operation for selecting a base character is displayed, the level parameter and effect of the base character are selected on the same screen when the base character is selected. The relationship can be confirmed. As a result, the user can confirm the relationship between the level parameter of the base character and the effect without performing a screen switching operation or the like for selecting the base character.

  Further, in the material character selection screen image G1900, the user can see the condition information on the condition for permitting the level parameter of the event character to be equal to or higher than the maximum level. You can select a character. Therefore, the user can easily determine whether the selected base character and material character are a proper combination. Further, for example, the user can cultivate a hero character having a specific tendency by increasing the maximum level of the event character of a specific good practice.

  In addition, in the material character selection screen image G1900, when selecting a material character, it is possible to see whether it is possible to satisfy the condition for increasing the maximum level of the base character (whether the character is the same character). Can select a material character after grasping whether or not the highest level may increase. In addition, since the user can easily grasp whether or not the material character satisfies the condition for increasing the maximum level, an incorrect selection such as selecting the material character without being able to increase the maximum level is not possible. It is easier to prevent. For example, when a material character is selected in the material character selection screen image G1900, the probability that the highest level of the base character increases can be seen. You can choose. Therefore, the user can strategically select the material character in consideration of the probability that the highest level of the base character increases.

  Also, if the event character is incorporated into the event deck by displaying the event power in the event character screen image G400, before starting the success part, it is necessary to determine the effect of the success character on the development of the main character in the success part. Can be easily grasped.

  In addition, by displaying the player ability in the event character screen image G400, it is easy to select which event character will be advantageous in victory in the game during the success part before starting the success part. You can figure out.

  Further, by making the user consider whether to select an event character that is used in a match during the success part or to select an event character that is not used in a match during the success part, the strategy of the game can be enhanced.

[Summary of Second Technology]
Also, if the success part is executed in a state where the special effect character is selected, such as during a limited time event, if the stadium part is advantageous, the special effect character is not the current event character built into the event deck. Can be given, so that the event character incorporated in the event deck can be prevented from being fixed. Also, for example, a score bonus is given to an original character by raising a special effect character in a limited time event, so that it is possible to raise the tension with a sense of tension by raising the character in a limited time. In addition, since the period during which the score bonus is awarded is limited, such as during a limited time event, it is possible to suppress the development of the original character without limit, so that the balance between the strengths of the users is kept within a certain range. It can be easier to keep. In other words, if the period in which the score bonus is awarded is not limited, the user who possesses the special effect character will continue to have a favorable state in terms of the score, but such a state is prevented by limiting the period. be able to. Also, in the limited time event, the score bonus can be given to the original character, not the original character itself used in the game, but the special effect character to the last, so that the effect on the game is provided in an indirect manner. As a result, it is possible to realize a game that is rich in game characteristics and does not get tired.

  In addition, in the event deck setting screen image G300, the event character change screen image G600, and the like, the information on the special effect character and the information on other event characters are distinguished, so that the user selects the event character to be incorporated in the event deck. At this time, it is possible to easily grasp which is the special effect character. For this reason, the user can easily examine the best event deck including the special effect character and other event characters.

  In addition, since the score bonus given to the original character of the order and the total value thereof are displayed in the time-limited order editing screen image G2300 in FIG. 30, the user can determine which game the time-limited event matches with the current order. It can be easily grasped whether a score bonus of a degree can be obtained. Furthermore, the user can easily determine whether to place an order with priority on the score bonus or place an order with priority on the ability parameter.

  Also, as in the event character change screen image G600 in FIG. 31, when the user selects an event character to be incorporated into the event deck, a score bonus to the main character by the special effect character is displayed. If you incorporate it into the stadium part, you can easily understand what effect will occur in the stadium part.

  Further, the effect generated in the success part may be changed based on the ability parameter and the level parameter of the special effect character. In such a case, the effect generated in the success part can be changed, and the success part can be changed. Part interest can be improved. For example, if the effect that occurs in the success part is higher as the special effect character's ability parameter is higher, a special effect character with a lower score bonus but a higher ability parameter is incorporated into the event deck, or a special effect character with a higher score bonus but a lower ability parameter is used. Can be considered by the user as to whether or not to incorporate it into the event deck, and the interest of the success part can be improved. Further, for example, if the effect that occurs in the success part becomes higher as the level parameter of the special effect character is higher, the special effect character may be reinforced during the period of the limited-time event and incorporated into the event deck, or the special effect character may be It is possible to consider whether to strengthen other event characters and incorporate them into the event deck without strengthening them, thereby improving the interest of the success part. In addition, the user can be motivated to change the parameters of the special effect character.

  Also, as in the present embodiment, if an advantageous effect occurs to obtain a reward in the stadium part, the user selects a special effect character in order to obtain more rewards, so that the user is motivated to select the special effect character. Can be made stronger.

  Further, since the effect in the stadium part changes based on the parameters of the special effect character, the effect generated in the stadium part can be changed, and the stadium part can be more interesting. In addition, the user can be motivated to change the parameters of the special effect character.

  Also, if the effect changes based on the number of hero characters whose ability parameters are set based on the special effect character, the ability parameters of more hero characters are changed in the success part (the more hero characters are succeeded). Motivation can be given.

  Also, by making it possible to select an event character held by another user (friend) associated with the user, the success part can change the ability parameter of the main character based on the event character held by the other user. it can. As a result, for example, even if the user does not have the special effect character, if another user has the special effect character, an advantageous effect can be obtained in the stadium part, and a cooperative relationship is established between the users. It can be a trigger. In addition, the user holding the special effect character can be given an opportunity to show off the possession of the special effect character to another user. Further, by making the stadium part a competitive game, the breeding of the hero character by the special effect character can greatly influence the winning or losing of the competitive game, so that the special effect character can make the users more aware of competition. .

[Summary of Third Technology]
Further, according to the game system 1, in the specialty practice areas A346 and A1646, the specialty practice associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck is displayed, so that it is possible to grasp which practice to select to be advantageous. An event character can be selected (an event character can be selected while grasping which practice the current event deck is advantageous for). In addition, it is easy to grasp what event characters should be incorporated in the event deck in order to train the hero character so that the user has the desired ability.

  Further, according to the game system 1, when the best practices associated with a plurality of event characters incorporated in the event deck are the same, the information indicating the number is displayed in the best practice areas A346 and A1646, thereby displaying the information. It is possible to easily visually recognize information on the specialty practice of the event deck without largely changing the mode. In addition, when the special exercises associated with a plurality of event characters incorporated in the event deck are the same as each other, when the user selects the special practice, the ability parameter of the main character greatly increases. The degree can be easily grasped.

  Also, according to the game system 1, in the specialty practice areas A346 and A1646, the specialty practice associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck and the other specialty practice are displayed separately. Therefore, it is easy to visually recognize what kind of hero character can be raised in the current event deck.

  Further, according to the game system 1, in the specialty practice areas A346 and A1646, the practice when the hero character is a fielder is displayed on the left, and the practice when the pitcher is a pitcher is displayed on the right. The exercises are displayed in the order determined based on the practice. This makes it easier for the user to visually recognize what role the hero character can play in the current event deck.

[Summary of Fourth Technology]
Further, according to the game system 1, when the content of the scenario changes based on the option, and when a specific option is selected, a specific effect occurs even if a specific event character is not selected. Even if the user does not have a specific event character, a specific effect can be generated.

  Further, according to the game system 1, since a specific option occurs only during a specific period, the user can enjoy the same scenario a plurality of times. That is, even if the user plays through each section of the scenario, a specific option is generated in a specific period, so that new content can be played.

[Summary of Fifth Technology]
Further, according to the game system 1, when a result of a certain user exceeds a result of another user, a challenge is sent to provide a game in which users compete against each other, thereby promoting competition between users. can do. Also, for example, by sending a challenge letter, communication with friends can be activated. Further, the user does not play against a stranger who does not know at all, but plays against a user who has a friendship, so that the psychological burden can be reduced. Further, for example, when a user receives a challenge while playing a game, it is possible to make a battle in near real time, and the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, by sending a challenge when a user's performance exceeds the performance of another user, the challenge will be sent from users with relatively good performance, and a sense of competition among users with close competence will be sent. It can be easier to give.

  Further, according to the game system 1, the user who has received the challenge can play against the original character owned by the user and the original character owned by the user who sent the challenge. For this reason, it is possible to provide a motivation for making the original character possessed by each user advantageous in the battle (for example, cultivating the original character or editing the order).

  Further, according to the game system 1, the number of times of sending the challenge letter can be limited within a certain period. Therefore, the processing load on the server 30 due to the transmission of a large number of challenge letters can be reduced. In addition, by restricting the notification of the challenge within a certain period, it is possible to avoid confusion of receiving a challenge with the user who has received the challenge.

  Further, according to the game system 1, the reward in the battle game performed by receiving the challenge letter is a reward that may be advantageous to the user's achievement. Therefore, it is possible to give the user who sent the challenge letter using the reward an opportunity to further compete.

[5. Modification]
Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. Changes can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[5-1. Modification Example of First Technology]
For example, in the embodiment, in order to increase the highest level of the base character, the condition that the composition with the same material character is used, but a special game item may be used to increase the highest level of the event character. Good. Further, the dedicated game item may be one or a combination of a plurality of game items. In the case of a combination of a plurality of game items, for example, when the user owns three game items A and two game items B, by consuming a total of five game items, Alternatively, the maximum level of the base character may be increased. In this case, the probability that the highest level increases may differ depending on the game item. For example, the probability may increase as the number of game items increases, or the probability may increase as the rarity of the game items increases.

  Further, for example, in order to increase the maximum level of the base character, this base character may be set in the event deck and the number of original characters bred by the success part may be used as a condition. For example, the maximum level may be increased by 1 when the number of bred original characters becomes 3 or more, and the maximum level may be increased by 2 when it becomes 5 or more. That is, the higher the number of original characters bred in the success part with the base character set in the event deck, the greater the increase in the highest level may be.

  Also, for example, based on the rarity of each of the base character and the material character, the increase amount of the highest level may be changed instead of the probability that the highest level of the base character increases. In this case, for example, when the material character “R” is used for the base character “R”, the maximum level is increased by “2”, and the material character “SR” is used for the base character “R”. In the case where is used, the maximum level may be increased by “5”. That is, the higher the rarity of the material character, the greater the amount of increase in the highest level of the base character.

  Further, for example, when a certain base character is strengthened by using a plurality of material characters having the same name, a case has been described in which it is determined whether or not the maximum level is increased once for each material character. For example, in the case where reinforcement is performed using two material characters whose probability of the highest level increasing is “30%”, a case is described in which it is determined twice to increase the highest level by 1 with a probability of 30%. Alternatively, the sum of “30%” and “30%” may be determined once to determine whether or not the highest level increases by 1 with a probability of “60%”.

[5-2. Modification Example of Second Technology]
For example, the special-effect character may be configured to incorporate an effect into the event deck, in addition to the score bonus in the stadium part, to have an effect on the cultivation process of the hero character in the success part, or the hero character in the success part. An effect may be generated on the training result. For example, by incorporating a special effect character into the event deck, an effect that does not occur during a period other than a specific period may occur during the success part, or a bonus of the ability parameter is given to the main character at the end of the success part. You may do so.

  Also, for example, the period during which a specific effect occurs in the success part when a special effect character is incorporated into the event deck may be the same as the period during which a score bonus is provided to an original character bred using the special effect character. May be different from each other.

  Also, for example, a case has been described in which a score bonus is provided at the end of a match in a limited time event by breeding an original character using a special effect character. However, the effect may be provided during a match in a limited time event. For example, the ability parameter of the original character placed in the order may be increased, or the score of the team may be increased.

  Further, for example, a case has been described in which a score bonus generated by using a special effect character is displayed in the event deck setting area A340 (FIG. 32) of the event deck setting screen image G300 (FIG. 5). The screen to be displayed is not limited to this, and may be displayed on any screen relating to the event character corresponding to the special effect character. For example, the score bonus by the special effect character may be displayed on the event character screen image G400 (FIG. 7) of the special effect character. Similarly, the score bonus given to the original character may be displayed in a list of the original characters.

  Also, for example, a case has been described in which a score bonus is given when a hero character is cultivated in a state where a special effect character is incorporated in an event deck during a period of a limited time event. When the hero character is bred with the special effect character incorporated in the event deck, that is, even if the hero character has already been bred, a score bonus may be provided. That is, the main character may be bred with the special effect character incorporated in the event deck, and the breeding time may be earlier than the holding period of the limited time event.

[5-3. Modification Example of Third Technology]
Further, for example, any one of a plurality of good practices displayed in the good practice areas A346 and A1646 (FIGS. 6, 10, 22, and 32) can be selected, and an event character having the good practice selected by the user is displayed on the display unit 15. May be displayed. In this way, the user can easily create an event deck for efficiently enhancing a desired ability parameter. In this case, the practice display control unit 1190 specifies the practice selected by the user from the plurality of practice based on the input from the input unit 14. Then, the practice display control unit 1190 refers to the event character table TBL302, and selects an event character that is good at the specified practice. The practice display control unit 1190 may display only the specified event character on the display unit 15 among the event characters held by the user. Alternatively, for example, the practice display control unit 1190 may distinguish and display an event character that is good at practice selected by the user and another event character.

  Further, for example, any of a plurality of good practices displayed in the good practice areas A346, A1646 (FIGS. 6, 10, 22, 32) can be selected, and setting frames A344-1 to A344-5, A345 (FIG. 6) , 10, 22, 32), the event character having the special practice selected by the user is displayed on the display unit 15 in an identifiable manner. It may be. In this way, for example, the user can easily specify an event character having a special ability to be replaced, and thus can easily set a desired event deck. In this case, the practice display control unit 1190 specifies the practice selected by the user from the plurality of practice based on the input from the input unit 14. Then, the practice display control unit 1190 refers to the event character table TBL302 and the event deck table TBL303, and specifies the best practice of the event character currently incorporated in the event deck. The practice display control unit 1190 may acquire the helper's specialty practice from the server 30. The practice display control unit 1190 compares the practice selected by the user with the good practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck, and displays the comparison result on the display unit 15. For example, the practice display control unit 1190 distinguishes and displays an event character whose practice selected by the user is a good practice and an event character whose practice selected by the user is not a good practice. The practice display control unit 1190 may change the display mode between the event character whose practice selected by the user is good practice and the event character whose practice is not good practice selected by the user. The display may be distinguished by changing the brightness. In this case, the display of the event character in which the practice selected by the user is good practice may be displayed brightly, and the event character in which the practice selected by the user is good practice may be displayed darker.

[5-4. Modification Example of Fourth Technology]
Further, for example, a time limit may be provided for the main character that can be bred by the success part. In this case, it is assumed that time information on the success part is stored in the “breeding status” field of the original character table TBL304. This time is a start time of the success part, a predetermined time after the start time, or a time limit for playing the success part. The first game execution unit 1020 determines whether or not the current time has passed a time limit determined based on time information, and if it is determined that the time has passed, suspends the development of the hero character and starts over again. May be.

  Further, for example, the section selectable by the user may be different depending on the event character incorporated in the event deck. In this case, it is assumed that information indicating a relationship between each section and an event character that can be incorporated into the event deck is stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like. The first game execution unit 1020 refers to the event deck table TBL303, specifies a section that can be selected by the event character incorporated in the event deck, and executes the specified section in the success part. According to this configuration, since a specific option is generated by a specific event character, it is possible to motivate the user to collect many types of event characters.

  Furthermore, a specific option may be generated when the next section is selected by a combination of a specific event character and a scenario. In this case, when the combination of the specific event character and the scenario is a specific combination, a specific option is generated when selecting the next section. According to this configuration, a specific option is generated depending on a combination of the specific event character and the scenario, so that the user can be provided with an opportunity to use many event characters.

  Furthermore, there may be a branch that occurs on condition that there is a specific combination of event characters in the event deck. That is, there may be a section that can be selected by the user when there is a specific combination of event characters in the event deck. In this case, it is assumed that information indicating a relationship between a predetermined combination of event characters and information on branching is stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like. The information on the branch is information indicating a section that can be selected by the user. The first game execution unit 1020 refers to the event deck table TBL303 and determines whether the combination of the event characters incorporated in the event deck is the predetermined combination indicated by the information. Then, when determining that the combination is the predetermined combination, the first game execution unit 1020 generates a branch associated with the combination. In other words, the first game execution unit 1020 generates a branch that occurs only when the combination is a predetermined combination, and advances the section selected by the user based on the input from the input unit 14. Here, the section may be automatically selected without the user's selection. In this way, a specific option is generated by a combination of a plurality of specific event characters, so that the user can be motivated to collect many types of event characters. Note that there may be a branch that occurs on condition that one specific event character is incorporated in the event deck instead of a combination of specific event characters. Further, a plurality of the specific event characters may be prepared. That is, when “A”, “B”, and “C” are prepared as specific event characters, a predetermined branch may occur if only any one of them is incorporated in the event deck.

  Further, for example, a predetermined effect may be generated in the success part based on a combination of a section selected by the user and an event character incorporated in the event deck. In this case, it is assumed that the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like stores information indicating the relationship between each section, the event character, and the effect. The first effect generation unit 1021 refers to the event deck table TBL303 and determines whether or not the event character associated with the section being executed is incorporated in the event deck. When it is determined that the section and the event character have been incorporated, the first effect generation unit 1021 generates an effect associated with the section and the event character in the success part.

  Further, for example, the effect may be generated in the success part based on a combination of sections selected by the user now or in the past. In this case, it is assumed that information indicating a relationship between a combination of sections and an effect is stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like. Information indicating the section selected by the user is stored in the individual data storage unit 1000. The first effect generation unit 1021 generates, in the success part, an effect associated with a combination of a section currently selected by the user and a past section, or a combination of a plurality of sections selected by the user in the past. Become. In other words, when a plurality of branches occur in the success part, the first effect generation unit 1021 generates a predetermined effect in the success part based on a combination of branches selected by the user in the past. Is also good. For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 generates a predetermined effect in the third section of the success part based on a combination of the first section and the second section selected by the user. Is also good. Stated another way, the first effect generation unit 1021 may generate an effect that occurs only when the user selects a predetermined combination of branches in the success part. For example, the first effect generation unit 1021 outputs an effect that is generated only when the combination of the first section and the second section selected by the user is a predetermined combination, in the third part of the success part. It may be generated in a section.

  Further, for example, a section that can be selected thereafter may be changed based on a combination of sections currently or previously selected by the user. In this case, it is assumed that information indicating a relationship between a combination of sections and selectable sections is stored in the individual data storage unit 1000 or the like. It is assumed that the information indicating the section selected by the user is stored in the data storage unit 100. The second game execution unit enables to select only the section associated with the combination of the section selected by the user from the sections existing in the success part. In this way, a specific option is generated by the combination of options, so that the user can be provided with an opportunity to try the option combination. Therefore, it is possible to provide the user with a scenario that can be enjoyed a plurality of times.

[5-5. Modification Example of Fifth Technology]
Further, for example, in the embodiment, the case where a challenge letter is sent when a friend overtakes the score of the user has been described, but a predetermined privilege may be given to the user who has overtaken the score. The privilege may be a privilege that makes it easier for a friend who has overtaken the score to overtake the friend. For example, a special effect character, a game item, or the like may be given to a user whose score has been overtaken by a friend, so that the friend can be easily overtaken.

  Also, for example, a case has been described where a challenge is sent when a friend overtakes a certain user's score, but a challenge is sent based on whether or not the friend's score satisfies a preset condition. It may be. For example, a challenge may be sent when the difference between the score of the user and the friend falls within a predetermined value, or the challenge may be sent when the friend gives a difference of not less than the predetermined value from the score of the user. May be sent. Similarly, a challenge may be sent when the difference between the ranking of the user and the friend falls within a predetermined value, or the challenge may be sent when the friend gives a difference of more than the predetermined value from the ranking of the user. A letter may be sent.

  Further, for example, the case where the score of each user is reset every predetermined period has been described, but the score does not have to be reset. Further, the timing at which the score is reset may not be the timing at which the predetermined period has elapsed. For example, the score may be reset when the user has achieved a given goal.

  In addition, for example, a case has been described in which a high score of each user is competed in a predetermined period, but a cumulative value of the score of each user may be competed. In this case, the total value of scores in a predetermined period may be used, or the total value of scores in all past periods may be used.

  Also, for example, all of the user's friends may not be targets of the challenge. For example, only the friend specified by the user among the friends may be set as the target of the challenge. Further, for example, when a plurality of users form a team and play, only the users of the same team may be targeted for the challenge. Further, only a user who has applied for a match in the past or a user who has applied for a match in the past may be set as a target of the challenge.

  Further, for example, a case has been described in which the challenge is automatically transmitted, but the challenge may be transmitted when the user performs a predetermined operation. In other words, the challenge is not sent to the user immediately after the friend overtakes the score of the user, but the sending of the challenge is waited until the friend or the user performs a predetermined operation. Is also good.

  Also, for example, the number of challenge letters that a certain user can send may be limited. For example, the number of times of sending a challenge letter may be limited to three times a day.

  Further, for example, a reward for a match using a challenge letter may be different from a reward for a normal match. In this case, the game using the challenge letter may obtain a better reward than the normal game. Further, for example, when a configuration is provided in which a game can be played against a friend without consuming a game ticket or the like (here, a practice game), rewards such as medals and tickets may not be obtained in this practice game. However, a match using a challenge may be rewarded. In addition, in a case where a reward is obtained even in a practice game, a game using a challenge may be configured to obtain a better reward than a reward in the practice game. Conversely, no reward may be obtained in a match using a challenge. In addition, the difference in reward may be a difference between a large amount and a small amount of the reward, or a difference between types of the reward.

  Further, for example, a challenge letter may be sent based on other than score or ranking. For example, in the case of a game in which the user advances a plurality of stages, a challenge may be sent when a friend overtakes a stage in progress by the user.

[5-6. Other modifications]
Also, for example, as described with reference to FIG. 3, when the user plays the success part, the user sets the event deck in the prepart and starts the main part. The contents of the event deck may not be changed (the event characters incorporated in the event deck cannot be changed or replaced). By doing so, the main part can be started after the breeding policy of the hero character and the contents of the event deck have been carefully considered, and the game can be more tense. Conversely, the contents of the event deck may be changeable in the main part. In this case, if the cultivation of the hero character does not go as expected in the main part, the contents of the event deck can be reviewed on the way to correct the trajectory of the hero character.

  Further, for example, the case where the user selects one to be incorporated into the event deck from among a plurality of event characters has been described as an example, but only one event character may be used. In this case, the level changing unit 1040 changes the level parameter of one event character. Then, the first effect generation unit 1021 generates an effect on the success part regarding the change or setting of the ability parameter of the main character based on the level parameter of one event character. Further, the effect display control unit 1060 provides correspondence information indicating the correspondence between the level parameter of one event character and the effect generated by the first effect generation unit 1021 (for example, the bonus detail screen image G500 in FIG. 8). Is displayed on the display unit 15. Except for one event character, these processes are the same as those described in the embodiment.

  Further, for example, a case has been described in which the main processing related to the game is executed by the user terminal 10, but the main processing related to the game may be executed by the server 30. In this case, each function described as being realized by the user terminal 10 is mainly realized by the control unit 31. Conversely, the functions described as being realized by the server 30 may be realized by the user terminal 10. In this case, the functions described as being realized by the server 30 are mainly realized by the control unit 11. Further, the processing may be shared between the user terminal 10 and the server 30.

  For example, the first game execution unit 1020, the first effect generation unit 1021, and the parameter change unit 1022 may be realized by the server 30. In this case, each of the first game execution unit 1020, the first effect generation unit 1021, and the parameter change unit 1022 transmits the execution result of the success part to the user terminal 10. When the user terminal 10 receives the execution result of the success part from the server 30, it stores the result in the individual data storage unit 1000.

  Further, for example, the change target selection unit 1030 and the level change unit 1040 may be realized by the server 30. In this case, the change target selection unit 1030 and the level change unit 1040 each transmit the enhancement result of the base character to the user terminal 10. When the user terminal 10 receives the base character enhancement result from the server 30, it stores the result in the individual data storage unit 1000.

  Further, for example, the use target selection unit 1050 may be realized by the server 30. In this case, the use target selection unit 1050 acquires information indicating the event character selected by the user from the user terminal 10.

  Further, for example, the effect display control unit 1060 may be realized by the server 30. In this case, the effect display control unit 1060 generates display data of the bonus detail screen image G500 (FIG. 8) and transmits the display data to the user terminal 10.

  Further, for example, the second game execution unit 1170, the special effect determination unit 1171, and the second effect generation unit 1172 may be realized by the server 30. In this case, each of the second game execution unit 1170, the special effect determination unit 1171, and the second effect generation unit 1172 transmits the execution result of the stadium part to the user terminal 10. When the user terminal 10 receives the execution result of the stadium part from the server 30, it stores the result in the individual data storage unit 1000.

  Further, for example, the distinction display control unit 1150 may be realized by the server 30. In this case, the distinction display control unit 1150 generates display data of the event deck setting area A340 (FIGS. 6, 10, 22, and 32) and transmits the display data to the user terminal 10.

  Further, for example, the result determination unit 3040 and the game providing unit 3050 may be realized by the user terminal 10. In this case, the result determining unit 3040 and the game providing unit 3050 acquire the result of the friend from the server 30 and compare the result with the result of the user. When the friend overtakes, the user is allowed to play.

  Further, for example, the challenge display control unit 3060 may be realized by the user terminal 10. In this case, the challenge display control unit 3060 transmits data indicating the challenge to the server 30 or the user terminal 10 of a friend.

  Further, for example, in the embodiment, the case where the baseball game is executed has been described, but the present invention may be applied to other games. What is necessary is just to apply to the game in which the parameter of a game object is changed or set based on a user's operation, for example, to the training part and the love part in a love simulation game. Further, for example, the present invention may be applied to a training part and a battle part in a role playing game.
