<< About the outline of the game >>
Here, an outline of a game provided by the game system 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The game system 1 provides various games that are played using electronic game cards (virtual cards used in the game; hereinafter, also simply referred to as “characters”) associated with game characters.

<Competitive game>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, a player can own a plurality of characters. The player can play a battle game using the player character owned by the player. Specifically, the battle processing unit 112 determines an enemy character to be an opponent of the player, and, based on various parameters (attack power, defense power, physical strength, etc.) set for each of the player character and the enemy character, The winning or losing of the battle between these characters is determined. If the player wins the battle with the enemy character, the items owned by the enemy character and the enemy character itself are given to the player.

<Lottery game>
In the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the player can play a lottery game called “Gacha Gacha” (registered trademark). In the lottery game, a character selected from a plurality of characters is given to a player. The lottery game includes a normal lottery game and a special lottery game. In a normal lottery game, when one lottery is performed, one character is given to the player. On the other hand, in a special lottery game, once one lottery is performed, a plurality of characters are given to the player at once. The player can selectively perform either a normal lottery game or a special lottery game. By repeatedly performing the lottery game, the player can increase the number of characters owned by the player until the maximum number is reached. Then, the player can play the above-mentioned battle game using the character owned by the player.

<Character composition>
In the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, a player selects a base character (hereinafter, also referred to as a “base character”) selected from a plurality of characters owned by the player, and a character as a synthetic material (hereinafter, “base character”). Character combination can also be performed by combining the characters.
In the following, a description will be given assuming that the predetermined condition regarding character synthesis is that the number of times of performing character synthesis (the number of times of synthesis) has reached the predetermined number.

  If the base character and the material character are the same character before the number of times of synthesis reaches the predetermined number, by synthesizing the material character with the base character, the parameter set for the base character before synthesis is set. The upper limit value is increased, and the parameter value is reset for the synthesized base character so that the value of the parameter can be increased beyond the upper limit. When the character synthesis is performed in this manner, the player cannot own both the base character and the material character, and can own only the base character that has been enhanced by the synthesis.

  Until the number of times of synthesis reaches the predetermined number, when character synthesis is repeated, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character increases stepwise. In the present embodiment, as shown in the character information of FIG. 4, the number of times of synthesis is limited to three times. Therefore, when the character synthesis is repeated three times, the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character reaches the limit value. Therefore, even if the character combination is further repeated, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character cannot be increased.

  After the number of synthesis times reaches a predetermined number, if the base character and the material character are the same character, each time the material character is synthesized with the base character, the base character is set as the base character before synthesis. Although the upper limit value (limit value) of the parameter cannot be further increased, an item based on the characteristics set for the material character is given to the player. When the character synthesis is performed in this manner, the player cannot own the material character, can continue to own only the base character, and can acquire an item based on the characteristics of the material character. In the present embodiment, as described above, the number of times of synthesis is limited to three times, so each time the fourth, fifth, sixth, etc. character synthesis is performed, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character ( Although the limit value does not change, an item based on the characteristics of the material character is given to the player. The type of item based on the characteristics of the material character differs depending on the rarity class set for the material character.

<Character reincarnation>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, after a predetermined condition relating to character synthesis is established, the player performs a predetermined input operation at an arbitrary timing, so that the base character in a state where the upper limit of the parameter has reached the limit value is set. (In the following, character reincarnation can be performed for the “base character after maximum evolution”). The character reincarnation is a game process for giving a privilege to a player who owns the base character after the maximum evolution.
In the following, similarly to the above-described character synthesis, a description will be given assuming that the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis is that the number of times of performing the character synthesis (the number of times of synthesis) has reached the predetermined number.

When the player performs a predetermined input operation after the number of synthesis times reaches the predetermined number, the character reincarnation is performed, thereby initializing the parameters set for the base character after the maximum evolution, and An item that can raise the parameter after the initialization set in is provided to the player.
Note that, for a base character for which a parameter after initialization has been set, the upper limit of the parameter can be increased stepwise again by repeatedly performing the above-described character synthesis.

  As described above, before the number of times of synthesis reaches the predetermined number of times, the base character can be gradually strengthened by repeating the synthesis, and after the number of times of synthesis reaches the predetermined number of times, the base character after initialization is repeated by repeating the synthesis. You can strengthen your character again. In other words, even if character synthesis is repeated, the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character reaches the limit value, and even if it becomes impossible to raise the upper limit of the parameter beyond the limit value, perform character reincarnation Thus, the parameters set for the base character can be returned to the initial values. For this reason, after the character is reborn, the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character can be increased stepwise by repeating character synthesis again. By doing so, the player's willingness to repeat the character synthesis can be increased.

  Also, after performing character reincarnation, you can use the items given by character reincarnation to dramatically increase the parameter after initialization, so when players strengthen the base character, This is advantageous and can further increase the player's willingness to repeat the character synthesis.

<Automatic synthesis>
In the game system 1 of the present embodiment, when a player performs a setting operation in advance, when a character is given to the player in a battle game or a lottery game, the character is automatically synthesized regardless of the operation of the player. be able to. As a result, when the character is given, it is determined whether or not the character can be a material character that can be synthesized with the base character, and then the character synthesis is automatically performed. Become. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the labor required for the operation input of the player.

<<< Operation of Game System 1 >>>
In the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the control unit 11 in the server device 10 controls each functional unit to be controlled in accordance with the game program stored in the storage unit 12, thereby performing each process described below. Execute.

<Operations related to character composition>
FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example regarding character synthesis in the present embodiment.

  When the player performs an operation for starting a lottery game, the player terminal 20 transmits a lottery game start request to the server device 10. Upon receiving the lottery game start request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 executes a character providing process (S101). Specifically, the character assignment processing section 111 assigns a character selected from a plurality of characters to the player based on the character information shown in FIG.

Next, when the character is given to the player, the server device 10 determines whether or not the character combination is set to the automatic combination (S102). That is, the determination processing unit 115 determines whether or not the item of the automatic composition setting is set to “ON” with reference to the player information shown in FIG.
It should be noted that the automatic synthesis setting may not always be performed by the player in advance, and the determination processing in step 102 may be omitted, so that the automatic synthesis is always performed for the character synthesis.

  When it is determined that the automatic composition setting is set to “OFF” (S102: NO), the process proceeds to step 104, and the screen data generation process is performed. That is, the screen data generation processing unit 118 generates screen data corresponding to the game screen including the character given to the player.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the automatic composition setting is set to “ON” (S102: YES), the process proceeds to step 103, and the character composition processing is executed. In this character synthesizing process, the following various processes are executed.

First, the server device 10 executes a process of determining whether or not a material character can be combined with a base character. That is, the determination processing unit 115 determines whether the character (material character) given to the player is the same character as the base character specified by the player. In the present embodiment, whether or not the character is the same as the base character is determined based on whether or not the character IDs match.
If it is determined that the character is not the same as the base character, an update process is performed. That is, the update processing unit 116 updates the possessed character information illustrated in FIG. 7 by recording the character given to the player as the possessed character of the player in the storage unit 12.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the character is the same as the base character, it is determined whether or not a predetermined condition regarding the character combination is satisfied. That is, the determination processing unit 115 refers to the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7 and determines whether the number of times of synthesis of the base character specified by the player has reached the maximum number (three times in the present embodiment). Is determined.

  As a result of this determination, when it is determined that the number of times of combining the base characters has not reached the maximum number, parameter variation processing is executed. Specifically, the synthesis processing unit 113 (parameter variation processing unit) sets the upper limit value of the ability parameter set for the base character based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the owned character information shown in FIG. Increase from one stage to the next. At this time, the synthesis processing unit 113 can also increase the current value of the ability parameter set for the base character. Thereafter, the update processing unit 116 does not regard the character given to the player as the player's own character and resets a new current upper limit value for the ability parameter set for the base character. Thus, the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 is updated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the number of times of combining the base characters has reached the maximum number, the combining processing unit 113 is provided to the player without changing the ability parameter set for the base character. An item based on the characteristics set for the character is given to the player. Thereafter, the update processing unit 116 does not regard the character given to the player as a player-owned character, and records the item given to the player in the storage unit 12 as a player-owned item. , The owned item information shown in FIG. 8 is updated.

  Next, returning to FIG. 9, when the character synthesizing process ends in this way, the server device 10 executes a screen data generation process (S104). That is, the screen data generation unit 118 generates screen data (HTML data) corresponding to the game screen relating to the lottery game.

  Then, the server device 10 transmits the generated screen data to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. Upon receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display a game screen (Web page) on the terminal display unit 24.

<Operations related to character reincarnation>
FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining an operation example regarding character reincarnation in the present embodiment.

  When the player performs an operation for starting character reincarnation, the player terminal 20 transmits a game start page transmission request to the server device 10. Upon receiving the game start page transmission request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 executes a character selection process (S201). Specifically, based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the owned character information shown in FIG. 7, the character selection processing unit 117 sets the upper limit value of the ability parameter at the third stage from among the player's owned characters. The character that has reached the set upper limit (limit value) (that is, the base character after the maximum evolution) is selected.

  Next, when the character selecting process ends, the server device 10 executes a screen data generating process (S202). That is, the screen data generation unit 118 generates screen data (HTML data) corresponding to the character reincarnation start screen. The character reincarnation start screen includes an image of the selected base character after the maximum evolution.

  Then, the server device 10 transmits the generated screen data to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. Upon receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data and causes the terminal display unit 24 to display a character reincarnation start screen (Web page).

  Next, when the player performs an operation to specify the base character after the maximum evolution while the character reincarnation start screen is displayed on the terminal display unit 24, the player terminal 20 starts the character reincarnation together with the operation information. The request is transmitted to the server device 10. Upon receiving the start request transmitted from the player terminal 20, the server device 10 determines whether or not the base character after the maximum evolution has been designated based on the operation information of the player (S203).

  Next, upon receiving the operation input specifying the base character after the maximum evolution in this way, the server device 10 executes a character reincarnation process as an example of the privilege granting process (S204). Hereinafter, an operation example regarding the character reincarnation process will be specifically described.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the character reincarnation process.
First, the server device 10 executes a parameter changing process for changing a parameter set for the base character after the maximum evolution (S301). Specifically, based on the character information shown in FIG. 4 and the possessed character information shown in FIG. 7, the privilege provision processing unit 114 determines the current value of the parameter set in the base character after the maximum evolution (this current value is (The same value) is returned to the initial value (initialization process). Thereafter, the update processing unit 116 resets a new current value (this current value is the same as the initial value) for the initialized base character, thereby obtaining the owned character information shown in FIG. To update.

Next, when the parameter variation process ends, the server device 10 executes an item providing process of providing an item to the player who owns the initialized base character (S302). Specifically, based on the character information shown in FIG. 4, the privilege provision processing unit 114 provides the player with a unique item (equipment) associated with the base character. Thereafter, the update processing unit 116 updates the possessed item information shown in FIG. 8 by recording the item given to the player as the player's possessed item in the storage unit 12.
In the item granting process, the type of privilege to be granted may be changed according to the attribute set for the base character. For example, if the rarity (attribute) of the base character is “rare” or more, the privilege granting unit 114 grants an item (equipment) to the player, and the rarity of the base character is “uncommon” or less. In this case, a virtual medal (in-game currency) may be provided.

Here, when the player uses the assigned item for the initialized base character, the assigned item is attached to the initialized base character, and The parameter increase amount (see FIG. 5) associated with the item is added to the current value of the parameter of the base character after the initialization. Accompanying this, the owned character information shown in FIG. 7 is updated by the update processing unit 116.
In addition, the player can attach the provided item not only to the initialized base character but also to other owned characters.

  Next, returning to FIG. 10, when the character reincarnation process ends in this way, the server device 10 executes a screen data generation process (S205). That is, the screen data generation unit 118 generates screen data (HTML data) corresponding to the game screen relating to the lottery game.

  Then, the server device 10 transmits the generated screen data to the requesting player terminal 20 via the network. Upon receiving the screen data transmitted from the server device 10, the player terminal 20 analyzes the screen data to display a game screen (Web page) on the terminal display unit 24.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen 50 before the character is reincarnated. The game screen 50 displays a game field area 51 and a base character 52 after the maximum evolution specified by the player. In the game field area 51, a base character 52 after the maximum evolution is displayed, and character information is displayed in association with the base character 52. Here, “character A” is specified by the player as the base character 52 after the maximum evolution, and “attack power”, “defense power”, and “physical strength” are displayed as the ability parameters of the “character A”. . For each parameter, it is shown that the upper limit value (limit value) is "300" points, while the current value is "210" points.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen 50 after the character is reincarnated. In the game field area 51, “character A”, which is the base character 53 after reincarnation, is displayed, and character information is displayed in association with the base character 53. Here, "attack power", "defense power", and "physical strength" are displayed as ability parameters of "character A". For each parameter, it is shown that the upper limit value has dropped to "100" points and the current value has dropped to "10" points. That is, it is shown that the parameters are initialized by the character reincarnation, and the upper limit value and the current value of the ability parameter set to the base character have returned to the initial values.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game screen 50 after the item provision. Here, in the game field area 51, "item A" which is a game item 54 given to the player is displayed. Players can be rapidly enhanced by using items for the initialized base character.

As described above, according to the game system 1 according to the present embodiment, the base character can be gradually strengthened by repeating the character synthesis before the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis is satisfied. On the other hand, after the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis is satisfied, the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character cannot be further increased, but the character is reborn according to the operation input from the player, and the character is reincarnated. The parameters set in can be returned to the initial values. Then, after the character is reborn, the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character can be increased stepwise by repeating character synthesis again. For this reason, the player's willingness to repeat the character synthesis can be increased. Further, by performing character reincarnation, an item is given to the player. Then, after the character is reborn, the use of this item makes it possible to significantly enhance the initialized base character.
In addition, in character reincarnation, a unique item is given to each character, so that the player's willingness to repeat the synthesis of game content can be further increased in order to collect various types of items.

=== Other Embodiments ===
The embodiments described above are intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and the present invention also includes equivalents thereof. In particular, even the embodiments described below are included in the present invention.

<Character reincarnation>
In the above-described embodiment, the parameters set for the base character after the maximum evolution are initialized by executing the character reincarnation process (privilege giving process), and the parameters after the initialization set for the base character are executed. Although an example has been described in which an item that can raise the is given to the player, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, by referring to the character information shown in FIG. 4, the privilege provision processing unit 114 changes the character ID corresponding to the base character after the maximum evolution to a different character ID, and thus differs from the base character after the maximum evolution. An item that can be changed to another type of character and that can increase a parameter set for the other character may be provided. At this time, the privilege provision processing unit 114 may provide a unique item corresponding to the base character. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 15, on the game screen 50 after the character is reincarnated, unlike the game screen 50 shown in FIG. 13, “character B” which is the base character 53 after the reincarnation is displayed. In the parameter of "character B", an initial upper limit value of "100" points and an initial value of "10" points are set based on the character information shown in FIG. As a result, after the character is reborn, the character combination is repeated again, so that the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character after this change (after replacement) can be increased stepwise. By doing so, the player's willingness to repeat the character synthesis can be increased. Further, by performing character reincarnation, an item is given to the player. Then, after performing the character reincarnation, it is possible to dramatically enhance other characters by using this item. The player can attach the provided item not only to the changed base character (other character) but also to another owned character.
The limit value of the parameter set for the base character (other character) after the change may be set to be larger than the limit value of the parameter set for the base character before the change. Thus, by repeating character synthesis after performing character reincarnation, it is possible to grow into a stronger base character than before performing character reincarnation.

  In the above-described embodiment, when performing the character reincarnation, the case where the parameters set in the base character after the maximum evolution are initialized by executing the parameter variation processing has been described as an example. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the current value of the parameter may be halved or the current value of the parameter may be uniformly reduced to a predetermined value (for example, 0 point) without returning the current value of the parameter to the initial value.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the character reincarnation can be performed on the base character after the maximum evolution has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, not only when the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character reaches the upper limit value (limit value) set in the third stage, but also when the upper limit value set in the second stage is reached However, character reincarnation may be performed. That is, character reincarnation may be performed even before the upper limit of the parameter reaches the limit value.

  In the above-described embodiment, when the parameters set in the base character after the maximum evolution are initialized by performing the character reincarnation, the limit values of the parameters set in the base character after the initialization are initialized. You may reset it so that it becomes larger than the limit value of the parameter set to the previous base character. Thus, by repeating character synthesis after character reincarnation, it is possible to grow into a stronger base character than before character reincarnation.

  In the above-described embodiment, a case where the player can perform character reincarnation by performing a predetermined input operation at an arbitrary timing has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. Character reincarnation may be performed automatically. For example, when the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character has reached the upper limit value (limit value) set in the third stage, and the determination processing unit 115 determines that the condition is satisfied, Alternatively, the privilege granting process 114 may automatically perform a character reincarnation process (privilege granting process).

<Character composition>
In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which character synthesis is performed when the base character and the material character are the same character, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the base character and the material character may be characters belonging to the same group or different characters. Further, for example, when all of a plurality of types of characters previously associated with the base character can be owned, character synthesis may be performed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, if the synthesis of the base character and the material character is repeated before the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis is satisfied, the upper limit value of the parameter set for the base character may increase stepwise. Although described by way of example, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the current value of the parameter set for the base character may be increased stepwise up to the upper limit.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where one material character is given to the player and the one material character is combined with the base character has been described as an example. The invention is not limited to this. For example, when two or more material characters are given to a player at one time, the present invention can also be applied to a case where each material character is continuously combined with a base character.

<Predetermined conditions for character composition>
In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the number of times of synthesis reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, the maximum number of times: 3) as the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis, but the present invention is not limited to this. Absent. For example, the character synthesis may be repeated in a setting state in which the number of times of synthesis is not limited, and the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis may be that the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character has reached the limit value (maximum value). . In addition, the condition that the parameter (current value) of the base character has reached the upper limit of the parameter set for the base character may be set as the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis. Alternatively, a combination of the above specific conditions may be used as the predetermined condition regarding the character synthesis.

<Automatic synthesis>
The automatic composition in the present embodiment described above can also be applied to a case where a special lottery game is played and a plurality of characters are given to the player at once. At this time, for example, one of a plurality of characters given to a player is used as a base character for automatic synthesis, and the remaining characters of the plurality of characters are used as a material character for automatic synthesis. You may.

<Character assignment processing>
In the above-described embodiment, the battle game and the lottery game have been described as examples of the character providing process, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a character may be given by completing a mission given to a player. Further, a character may be given by a player inputting a serial code displayed on a Web page or the like. Further, a character may be given by a player logging in to the game system 1. Further, a character may be given by an event provided in the game system 1 (consumption of points in the event, ranking leader).

<Designation of base character>
In the above-described embodiment, the player may use the character designated by the player from the possessed characters as the base character for the synthesis, or the synthesis processing unit 113 automatically selects the character regardless of the player's specification operation. The synthesized character may be used as a base character for synthesis.

<Server device 10>
In the above-described embodiment, the game system 1 including one server device 10 has been described as an example of a server device. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of server devices 10 may be used as an example of a server device. A game system 1 may be provided. That is, a plurality of server devices 10 may be connected via the network 2 and each server device 10 may perform various processes in a distributed manner.
