JP, 2008-113783, A

  In such a multi-player game, at the end of the game, the game performance and the game contribution of each player who participated in the game are presented to each player. Then, the participating players pay the game fee and, for example, continue play the next game with the same member in order to clear the next mission or stage.

  At this time, among the participating players, the player whose game score or game contribution is not good may have a remorse that he or she has pulled the other player's leg due to his bad score. For this reason, the player may hesitate to continue playing the next game, which hinders the same member from performing the continuous play of the game. Therefore, there arises a problem that the fun of the multiplayer game of successively clearing missions and stages by the same member is reduced to half, and the operation rate of the game is reduced.

  According to some aspects of the present invention, it is possible to provide a game system, a program, and the like that can reflect the result of the previous game in the distribution of the deliverables or costs in the next game.

  One aspect of the present invention includes a game processing unit that processes a game played by a plurality of players, a game result calculation unit that calculates a game result of each player of the plurality of players, and a player who has participated in a previous game. If the degree of match with the players participating in the next game satisfies a given match condition, each player in the next game is notified based on at least one of the game score and the game contribution degree of each player in the previous game. The present invention relates to a game system including a distribution process of a given product or a distribution processing unit that performs a cost distribution process for each player in the next game. The present invention also relates to a program that causes a computer to function as each of the above units, or a computer-readable information storage medium that stores the program.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, a game played by a plurality of players is processed, and a game result (game contribution) of each player is calculated. Then, it is determined whether or not the matching condition between the player participating in the previous game and the player participating in the next game is satisfied. Then, when the matching condition is satisfied, the distribution process of the deliverables given to each player in the next game is performed based on the game score and the game contribution of each player in the previous game. Alternatively, the cost distribution process for each player in the next game is performed based on the game score and the game contribution of each player in the previous game. By doing this, the result of the previous game (game score, game contribution) is reflected in the deliverable given to the player in the next game, or reflected in the cost incurred by the player in the next game. Will be possible. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the burden of the player who had a bad result in the previous game and to encourage the player to participate in the next game, thereby improving the fun of the multi-player game and the operating rate of the game. It will be possible.

  Further, according to an aspect of the present invention, the distribution processing unit may determine whether or not the matching degree satisfies the matching condition based on input information input by each player.

  By doing so, it is possible to determine the matching condition of the participating players based on the input information of the players, and realize the product and cost distribution processing in the next game based on the result in the previous game.

  Further, in one aspect of the present invention, the distribution processing unit determines whether or not the matching degree satisfies the matching condition based on authentication information communicated via a network to which a terminal device of each player is communicatively connected. You may judge it.

  In this way, the matching condition of the participating players is judged based on the authentication information communicated via the network, and the product and cost allocation processing in the next game based on the result in the previous game is performed. It will be realized.

  Further, in one aspect of the present invention, the distribution processing unit, when the number of matching players of the previous game and the player participating in the next game is equal to or more than a predetermined number, or the matching number ratio is equal to or more than a predetermined rate. In addition, it is determined that the match degree satisfies the match condition, and based on at least one of the game score and the game contribution degree of each player in the previous game, the distribution process of the artifacts given to each player in the next game is performed. Alternatively, the distribution process of the cost borne by each player may be performed.

  By doing so, even if the players participating in the previous game and the players participating in the next game do not completely match, the number of matching players is equal to or more than a predetermined number, or the matching number ratio is equal to or more than a predetermined rate. In such a case, it is possible to consider that these participating players substantially match each other, and perform the product / cost allocation process in the next game based on the result in the previous game.

  In one aspect of the present invention, the distribution processing unit determines that a player having the highest game score or game contribution in the previous game and a player having the lowest game score or game contribution in the previous game are When the player participates in the next game, it may be determined that the matching degree satisfies the matching condition.

  In this way, if it is determined that the match condition is satisfied at least on the condition that the player with the highest game score or the game contribution degree or the player with the lowest game contribution has participated, the player is encouraged to participate in the next game. The effect of improving the fun of the multi-player game can be exhibited.

  In one aspect of the present invention, the distribution processing unit is configured such that the game result or the game contribution degree of the first player in the previous game is higher than the game result or the game contribution degree of the second player in the previous game. If it is determined to be low, in the next game, the distribution process is performed so that the first player becomes more disadvantageous in the distribution of the deliverables or the costs than the second player. You can go.

  In this way, the first player, who was determined to have a low game score or game contribution in the previous game, is subjected to the distribution process so that the distribution of the deliverables or costs in the next game becomes more disadvantageous. Will be done. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the burden of the first player, which had a poor result in the previous game, and to encourage the player to participate in the next game, which improves the fun of the multiplayer game and improves the operation rate of the game. And so on.

  Further, in one aspect of the present invention, in the distribution processing unit, the game result or the game contribution degree of the first player in the previous game is more than the game result or the game contribution degree of the second player in the previous game. If it is determined to be lower than the above, in the next game, the first player has a lower distribution rate or distribution amount of the deliverables than the second player, or The distribution process may be performed so that the cost distribution rate or the distribution amount becomes higher.

  In this way, for the first player who is determined to have a low game score or game contribution in the previous game, the distribution ratio of the deliverables becomes lower or the cost distribution becomes higher in the next game. Allocation processing will be performed so that it becomes higher. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the burden of the first player, which had a poor result in the previous game, and to encourage the player to participate in the next game, which improves the fun of the multiplayer game and improves the operation rate of the game. And so on.

  Further, in one aspect of the present invention, the distribution processing unit allocates a product or a cost based on a readjustment operation input performed by each player after the end of the previous game or before the start of the next game. Readjustment processing may be performed.

  In this way, it becomes possible to readjust the distribution of the deliverables or costs adjusted according to the result of the previous game, based on the readjustment operation input of the player. As a result, the player's intention or the like can be reflected to some extent in the distribution of the product or the cost in the next game.

  Further, in one aspect of the present invention, the distribution processing unit receives the readjustment operation input by each player for a given period, and outputs the results by the plurality of players before the given period elapses. If the distribution of the goods or costs is approved, the acceptance of the readjustment operation input may be ended.

  By doing so, even before the given period corresponding to the time limit of the readjustment process elapses, the readjustment operation input is accepted if the approval of a plurality of players participating in the game is received. After that, the readjustment process comes to an end, and smooth progress of the process can be realized.

  Further, according to an aspect of the present invention, the distribution processing unit may perform processing for limiting readjustment of distribution of a product or cost in the readjustment processing.

  In this way, it is possible to prevent the situation where the distribution of the deliverables or the costs resulting from the previous game is readjusted indefinitely by the player's readjustment operation input.

  Further, in one aspect of the present invention, the distribution processing unit performs a confirmation process that allows a player to confirm the distribution of the deliverables or costs after the end of the previous game or before the start of the next game. The readjustment process may be performed later.

  With this configuration, after the player confirms the distribution of the deliverables or the costs according to the result of the previous game, the readjustment operation input from the player can be accepted and the readjustment process can be started.

  Further, in one aspect of the present invention, the distribution processing unit sets the distribution of the product according to at least one of the game result and the game contribution degree in the previous game as the first product distribution, and the game result in the next game and When the distribution of the deliverables according to at least one of the game contribution degrees is the second deliverable distribution, the player selects and inputs which of the first deliverable distribution and the second deliverable distribution. Or a process of selecting a better product distribution of the first product distribution and the second product distribution may be performed.

  By doing so, for example, in the next game, the deliverables or costs can be distributed to the player or the like who has left a better result than the previous game, by a more appropriate distribution process.

Then, the distribution processing unit 612, when the matching condition is satisfied, based on at least one of the game score and the game contribution of each player in the previous game, the distribution process of the deliverable given to each player in the next game. , Or the distribution process of the cost that each player bears in the next game.

  Here, the matching condition is a condition for determining whether or not the matching degree or the matching mode between the player who participated in the previous game and the player who participated in the next game satisfied a given criterion. For example, even if the players participating in the previous game and the players participating in the next game do not completely match each other, if they meet the matching conditions, they are considered to be substantially matched. . The previous game is, for example, the nth game (n is a natural number), and the next game is the (n + 1) th game next to the nth game. For example, it is the (n + 1) th game that can be played by selecting Continue Play at the end of the nth game.

  The game result is an index indicating the degree of superiority or inferiority of the player regarding the game result and the game clearness. For example, the game result is a score of the player in the game, various points acquired by the player, or a degree of clearing a mission or stage in the game. Regarding the game contribution level, when a plurality of players play a game jointly (cooperatively), for example, each player of the plurality of players contributes to obtain game results and achieve game goals such as missions and stages. It is an index showing the degree. For example, the game contribution is information representing the contribution of each player who constitutes the team in achieving a game result as a team and a game goal such as a mission and a stage.

  The deliverables are given to the players (teams) as the outcomes of the game play at the end of the game. For example, it is a game parameter value (experience value or the like) given to the play as a result of the game play, points such as in-game currency, or various items. The cost is borne by the player for playing the game, and is, for example, a game fee or various points necessary for playing the game. For example, the cost is in-game currency or real currency paid by the player for game play. Alternatively, when it is necessary to consume some points possessed by the player to play the game, the points also become a cost.

  In the present embodiment, when the matching conditions are satisfied for the players participating in the previous game and the players participating in the next game, information about the game score and the game contribution of each player in the previous game is stored in the game score information storage unit. 672 and the game contribution degree information storage unit 673. Then, in accordance with the game score and the game contribution of each player, the distribution process of the product given to each player in the next game and the distribution process of the cost borne by each player are performed. For example, when the game score or the game contribution is high, the distribution ratio of the product to the player is large. Alternatively, the distribution ratio of the cost borne by the player becomes small. On the other hand, when the game result or the game contribution is low, the distribution ratio of the product to the player is small. Alternatively, the distribution ratio of the cost borne by the player becomes high.

  Further, the distribution processing unit 612 determines whether or not the matching degree satisfies the matching condition, for example, based on the input information input by each player. For example, the degree of match between the participating players of the previous game and the next game is determined based on the input information input by each player using the operation unit in each terminal device of each player of the plurality of players. That is, it is determined whether or not the matching condition is satisfied. Here, the input information is, for example, a password (password) presented to each player in the previous game. For example, the input information is information for determining the matching degree of the participating players without using the network, and is, for example, information including letters and numbers. By using the input information such as the password, the game system can determine the matching degree (matching condition) between the participating player of the previous game and the participating player of the next game.

  Further, the distribution processing unit 612 may determine whether or not the matching degree satisfies the matching condition based on the authentication information communicated via the network to which the terminal device of each player is communicatively connected. For example, when a player playing on a terminal device uses a portable information storage medium (game card or the like), the player authentication process is performed based on the authentication information stored in the portable information storage medium. Based on the result of the authentication process, the server system 500 can recognize the player who has participated in the previous game and the player who has participated in the next game, and the server system 500 can recognize the previous game based on the recognition result. It is possible to determine the matching degree (matching condition) between the participating player and the participating player of the next game.

  Further, the distribution processing unit 612 determines that the matching degree is matched when the number of matching players of the player who participated in the previous game and the player who participates in the next game is a predetermined number or more, or when the matching number of people is a predetermined number or more. Judge that the conditions are met. That is, it is determined that the participating players of the previous game and the next game match (substantially match). Then, the distribution processing unit 612 distributes the product given to each player in the next game or allocates the cost borne by each player based on at least one of the game performance and the game contribution of each player in the previous game. Perform processing.

  Alternatively, the distribution processing unit 612 determines that the player having the highest game score or game contribution in the previous game and the player having the lowest game score or game contribution in the previous game participated in the next game. In addition, it may be determined that the matching degree satisfies the matching condition. For example, it is assumed that the player who has the highest game score or game contribution in the previous game has a high distribution ratio of the deliverables in the next game and a low distribution ratio of the cost to be incurred. Further, it is assumed that the player who has the lowest game score or game contribution in the previous game has a low distribution ratio of the product in the next game or a high distribution ratio of the cost to be incurred. Therefore, for fairness, when these players participate in the next game, it is determined that the matching condition is satisfied. This makes it possible to effectively encourage these players to participate in the next game.

  Further, it is assumed that it is determined that the game result or the game contribution degree of the first player in the previous game is lower than the game result or the game contribution degree of the second player in the previous game. In this case, the distribution processing unit 612 performs a distribution process in the next game so that the first player becomes more disadvantageous in the distribution of the deliverables or the costs than the second player. That is, the first player who has a low game score or game contribution in the previous game has a lower distribution ratio of the artifacts in the next game than the second player who has a high game score or game contribution. Or, the cost such as a game fee required to start the next game is increased. The disadvantage of the distribution of the deliverables and the costs is such that the distribution of the deliverables and the costs to the player is disadvantageous in comparison with other players in the game.

  Specifically, the distribution processing unit 612 determines that the game score or game contribution of the first player in the previous game is lower than the game score or game contribution of the second player in the previous game. In this case, the distribution process is performed so that the first player has a lower distribution rate or distribution amount of the deliverables than the second player. Alternatively, the distribution process is performed so that the cost distribution rate or the distribution amount becomes high. In other words, the second player performs the distribution process such that the distribution rate or distribution amount of the product is higher than that of the first player, or the cost distribution rate or distribution amount is low. Distribution processing is performed so that

  The product / cost allocation rate indicates the ratio of the product / cost allocation of the player to the product / cost allocation of the plurality of players. The distribution amount of deliverables and costs represents the amount of deliverables and costs (number, amount, points, etc.) assigned to the player. For example, the product, the cost distribution rate, and the distribution amount information are calculated by the distribution processing unit 612 and stored in the distribution information storage unit 674.

  Further, the distribution processing unit 612 performs readjustment processing of product or cost distribution based on a readjustment operation input performed by each player after the end of the previous game or before the start of the next game. For example, after the end of the previous game or before the start of the next game, an adjustment screen for readjusting the distribution of the deliverables or costs is displayed. Then, on this adjustment screen, a readjustment operation input by each player is accepted, for example, for a given period (time limit). Then, the distribution rate or distribution amount of the deliverables or costs calculated and adjusted by the distribution processing unit 612 is readjusted based on the information of the readjustment operation input of each player.

  For example, the distribution processing unit 612 receives a readjustment operation input by each player during a given period. Then, it is assumed that the plurality of players approve the distribution of the deliverables or the costs before the given period elapses (before the time limit elapses). For example, it is assumed that the operation input of the player who approves the distribution of the deliverables or the costs is accepted. In this case, acceptance of the readjustment operation input ends. That is, even before a given period of time, which is the time limit, elapses, the acceptance of the readjustment operation input ends when the participation players, for example, all of them approve, and thereafter the readjustment operation is performed. Do not accept operation input.

  Further, the distribution processing unit 612 performs a process of limiting the readjustment of the product or cost distribution in the readjustment process. For example, when the readjustment operation input of the player is performed and the readjustment processing of the product or the cost is performed, the readjustment processing is restricted so as not to be performed excessively. For example, even before the time limit elapses, if the readjustment amount (readjustment point) by the player reaches a predetermined threshold value, subsequent readjustment of deliverables and costs by the player is prohibited. This readjustment limiting process can be realized not only by limiting the readjustment amount itself, but also by limiting the number of readjustments and the like.

  Further, the distribution processing unit 612 performs a confirmation process that causes the player to confirm the distribution of the deliverables or costs before the end of the previous game or before the start of the next game, and after the confirmation processing, the distribution of the deliverables or costs is performed. Perform readjustment processing. For example, after the end of the previous game or before the start of the next game, a confirmation screen is displayed to allow the player to confirm the distribution of deliverables or costs. On this confirmation screen, the player confirms the distribution status of the deliverables or costs set according to the game score and the game contribution level of the previous game. Then, after the confirmation, readjustment processing of the distribution of the deliverables and costs is performed based on the readjustment operation input by the player, for example. By doing so, the player who confirms the distribution status set according to the game score and the game contribution level of the previous game and determines that the distribution is not appropriate is displayed on the screen of the readjustment process, for example. It becomes possible to readjust the distribution of deliverables and costs according to one's own will.

  Further, the distribution of the artifacts according to at least one of the game score and the game contribution degree in the previous game is defined as the first artifact distribution, and the artifacts according to at least one of the game score and the game contribution degree in the next game are set. It is assumed that the allocation is the second product allocation. In this case, the distribution processing unit 612 performs a process of selecting either the first product distribution or the second product distribution based on the selection input of the player. That is, the player is allowed to select either the first product distribution or the second product distribution. Alternatively, a process of selecting a better product distribution from the first product distribution and the second product distribution is performed. For example, the distribution processing unit 612 automatically selects a better result distribution. By doing so, for example, the player having the best game result among the plurality of players can receive the better product distribution of the first product distribution and the second product distribution. Become.

  Although the case where the server system 500 of FIG. 2 performs the game process, the game result calculation process, the distribution process, and the like of the present embodiment has been described above, the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the terminal device TM of FIG. 3 may perform a part or all of the game processing (competition processing), game result calculation processing, distribution processing, and the like of the present embodiment described above. In this case, the terminal device TM (or a system in which the terminal device and the server system cooperate with each other) functions as the game system of this embodiment.

2. Method of this Embodiment Next, the method of this embodiment will be described in detail. In the following, a case where the game played by a plurality of players is a multi-player game played by a plurality of players in cooperation (cooperation) will be described. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and various modifications are possible. Is possible. Further, the following mainly describes a case where the game to which the present embodiment is applied is a battle game using a fighter, but the present embodiment is not limited to this and various games other than such a battle game are described. It can be applied to games (action games, competition games, card games, music games, etc.).

2.1 Product and Cost Allocation Processing FIG. 5 shows an example of a game to which the method of this embodiment can be applied. This game is a so-called team competition mode game. In this game, ally players PL1 to PL4 who are enjoying the game in real time online select teams of up to four fighters MB1 to MB4 (mobiles in a broad sense) by selecting their own machines and weapons. Organize. Other players PL5 to PL8, who are competitors, similarly form a team of up to four fighters MB5 to MB8, and they all sort out at once as rival units that belong to the same camp and compete for battle results.

  The rules of the game are to attack freely against the enemy NPC (Non Player Character) located at the bases A1 to A3 on the map within the predetermined time limit, and the total score of the members will be more The higher team wins. Attack by sharing the enemy with their own aircraft (for example, attack aircraft is the main ground attack, fighter aircraft is the main aerial combat), the theory to win. In this game, you will be able to feel the goodness of your own skills by playing with your friends when you want to do it, when you should do it, when you can do it, and when you can do it, while paying attention to your fellow players. ing. Since the rival team is also fighting for a high score, it destroys the high-scoring enemy NPC ahead of the rival, and while the rival is struggling with the strong high-scoring enemy NPC, a large number of weak enemy NPCs You can enjoy various strategies such as destroying and earning points.

  When the game is over after the time limit elapses, the enemy defeat scores of the respective members of both units are added to calculate the total score of the units, and the team with the higher score wins. If you win, you can get a sense of accomplishment that wins the rival team, and even if you lose, you can get a sense of achievement that is evaluated as a pilot who contributed in his or her own way of working.

  In such a multi-player game, unlike a single-player game for one player, a plurality of players form a group such as a team and play the game jointly. Then, among the plurality of players, there are a player having a high game score and a high game contribution, and a player having a low game score and a game contribution. Here, the game result is, for example, a score that each player independently obtained according to the number of shots down of the enemy aircraft and the like. This game result is a result such as a score independently obtained in the game play of each player without depending on the game result of other players. The game contribution is an index showing the contribution of each player to the victory of a team (group in a broad sense) (achievement of purpose in a broad sense). For example, even if the number of shots down by the enemy aircraft is small and the player's individual game performance is poor, he can play an active role in defeating the enemy team, play an active role as rear support for the attack team (reconnaissance, defense, etc.), or to win the team. A player who consumes a lot of billing items contributes to the victory of the team, and thus the game contribution rate is high. The game contribution may be a ratio of the score of each player to the total score of the team.

  In such a game, when the previous game ends, for example, a continue play selection screen is displayed, and when each player selects the continue play of the next game, the next game starts. In the next game, the player performs a game play of a mission different from the mission of the previous game, or a game play on a stage next to the stage of the previous game. Alternatively, perform the gameplay of the previous game mission or the continuation of the stage.

  In this case, a player who has a low game score or a low game contribution in the previous game often feels reluctant to pull the other player's leg with a bad score. As a result, hesitates to perform the continue play of the next game, and it becomes difficult to form a team with the same members in the next game. For example, if players who are close to each other form a team and enjoy each other, but the player who has a poor game score or game contribution does not play the next game and the team members run out, the game of other players will be lost. Willingness also declines. As a result, it is difficult for the same member to continue playing the game, and the fun of a multiplayer game in which missions and stages are successively cleared by the same member is halved. Further, if the continuous play is not performed due to the lack of members, there is a problem that the operation rate of the game is reduced.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, distribution of deliverables (rewards) and costs (burdens) in the next game is performed so that a player who has been stagnant in the previous game with a poor result can embody his remorse. The method of executing the process is adopted. For example, for a player who has a low game score or a low game contribution in the previous game, the product distribution in the next game is reduced or the cost required for playing the next game is increased.

  For example, in the completed game, there is a conventional technique in which the distribution ratio of the deliverables (obtainables) is determined by the result, but this conventional technique is for the finished result, and the next game play is performed. It couldn't be the motivation to do. Further, in the next game, the distribution of the deliverables and the distribution of the costs are generally distributed evenly to a plurality of players.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, preferential treatment or unfavorability of the distribution of the deliverables and costs in the next game is set according to the result of the completed game. Therefore, a player who has a poor result (game score, game contribution) of the previous game can play the next game without feeling the burden of the previous game (or having little burden). There is also an advantage that a player who has a good result of the previous game can obtain a high reward affirmation. If the player who gave a good result in the previous game plays better than the promised reward in the next game, the better result may be selected.

  In order to realize such a game system, in the present embodiment, processing of a game played by a plurality of players is performed. The plurality of players form a group (member) such as a team. Then, in each game, the game result of each player of the plurality of players is calculated. Also, the degree of game contribution of each player is calculated. For example, the number of defeated enemies, the rate of defeated enemies, the number of scored points and the rate of scored points, the destruction amount of enemy lines and the destruction rate of enemy lines, the charge amount of items, the charge rate, etc. are calculated.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the matching degree between the participating player of the previous game and the participating player of the next game satisfies a given matching condition. For example, after the end of the previous game, for example, a continue play selection screen is displayed, and when each player selects continue play, the player can play the next game. In this case, with respect to a plurality of players forming a team or the like, the matching degree between the participating player of the previous game and the participating player of the next game (the matching degree of the players belonging to the same group) is determined. When the matching degree satisfies the matching condition, the distribution process of the deliverables given to each player in the next game or the next processing is performed based on at least one of the game score and the game contribution degree of each player in the previous game. In this game, the cost distribution process for each player is performed.

  For example, in FIG. 6A, the game results of the players PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4 in the previous game are GP1, GP2, GP3, GP4, respectively. Then, these game results have a relationship of GP1 <GP2 <GP3 <GP4, the game result GP1 of the player PL1 is the lowest, and the game result GP4 of the player PL4 is the highest. Alternatively, the game contributions of the players PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4 in the previous game are GC1, GC2, GC3, and GC4, respectively. These game contributions have a relationship of GC1 <GC2 <GC3 <GC4. The player PL1 has the lowest game contribution GC1 and the player PL4 has the highest game contribution GC4.

  Then, in the next game, the same players PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4 as in the previous game participate, and it is determined that the participating player of the previous game and the participating player of the next game match. It should be noted that the players participating in the previous game and the players participating in the next game may belong to the same group (team or the like), for example.

  Then, the distribution ratios of the products of the players PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4 in the next game are RSR1, RSR2, RSR3, RSR4, respectively. In this case, in this embodiment, the relationship of RSR1 <RSR2 <RSR3 <RSR4 is established. That is, the product distribution ratio RSR1 for the player PL1 is the lowest, and the product distribution ratio RSR4 for the player PL4 is the highest. Considering not the distribution rate but the distribution amount, the distribution amounts of the products of the players PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4 in the next game are RSA1, RSA2, RSA3, RSA4, respectively, and RSA1 <RSA2 <RSA3. <RSA4 relationship holds.

  By doing so, for example, for the player PL1 having a low game result or a low game contribution in the previous game, the distribution rate (distribution amount) of the product in the next game becomes low. As a result, the player PL1, who has a poor performance in the previous game, can realize his reparation. On the other hand, with respect to the player PL4 having a high game score and a high game contribution in the previous game, the distribution rate (distribution amount) of the product in the next game is high. As a result, the player PL4 who has a good result in the previous game can obtain a promise of high reward in the next game.

  For example, in the conventional method, it is general that the deliverables given to a plurality of players based on the result of the next game are evenly distributed to the plurality of players. In addition, the cost burden for playing the next game is generally evenly distributed among a plurality of players.

  In this regard, in the present embodiment, such equal distribution of the artifacts and costs is not performed, and the distribution of the artifacts in the next game is performed at the distribution rate (allocation amount) set based on the result of the previous game. In this respect, the method of the present embodiment is different from the conventional method. It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the distribution process of the deliverables and the costs may be performed by combining the distribution set based on the result of the previous game and the distribution based on the result of the next game.

  The deliverables include, for example, game parameter values such as experience values given to the player as the outcomes of the game play. For example, as the game parameter value such as the experience value increases, the level of the player increases, and the player can challenge a higher level mission or stage. The deliverables may be various points such as in-game currency given as a reward for game play. By acquiring the points, the player can purchase items, equipment and the like. For example, it becomes possible to acquire an item that can be purchased by charging. The deliverable may be an item that produces an effect in a game or the like, or equipment such as a weapon or armor. As the items, there are items that immediately produce an effect and are consumed when they are obtained, and items that are produced by the player operating the obtained items. Some of these items are called rare items that are difficult to obtain. Then, by giving such items or equipment to the player as a product, the player can obtain the items or equipment without consuming points such as in-game currency.

  Also in FIG. 6B, the game results of the players PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4 in the previous game have a relationship of GP1 <GP2 <GP3 <GP4, and the game contribution degree is GC1 < The relationship of GC2 <GC3 <GC4 is established.

  Then, the cost distribution ratios of the players PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4 in the next game are set to CSR1, CSR2, CSR3, CSR4, respectively. In this case, in this embodiment, the relationship of CSR1> CSR2> CSR3> CSR4 is established. That is, the cost allocation rate CSR1 for the player PL1 is the highest, and the cost allocation rate CSR4 for the player PL4 is the lowest. Considering the distribution amount instead of the distribution rate, the cost distribution amounts of the players PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4 in the next game are CSA1, CSA2, CSA3, CSA4, respectively, and CSA1> CSA2> CSA3> The relationship of CSA4 is established.

  By doing so, for example, for the player PL1 having a low game score or a low game contribution in the previous game, the cost distribution rate (distribution amount) in the next game becomes high. As a result, the player PL1, who has a poor performance in the previous game, pays more costs (game fee, points) to play the next game, and realizes his reparation. become able to. On the other hand, with respect to the player PL4 having a high game score and a high game contribution in the previous game, the cost distribution ratio (distribution amount) in the next game becomes low. As a result, the player PL4 who has a good score in the previous game can play the next game by paying a small cost (game fee, points), and the burden on the player can be reduced.

  As the cost, for example, a game fee and various points necessary for playing the next game can be assumed. The game fee and points may be in-game currency or real currency, for example.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the distribution of deliverables and costs in the next game is set based on the result (game score, game contribution, etc.) in the previous game that has already been completed. Therefore, a player who has a poor result in the previous game will not be burdened in the battle of the previous game because the result will be a low reward or the cost required for the game play will be high. Will be able to do. Further, a player who has a good result in the previous game can obtain a promise of a highly rewarded product and can play the next game at a low cost.

  Therefore, both the players who had a bad result in the previous game and those who had a good result will actively participate in the next game. For example, the fun of a multiplayer game where the same members clear missions and stages one after another Can be improved. In addition, the situation where continuation play is not performed due to the lack of members is unlikely to occur, and the operation rate of the game can be improved.

2.2 Determination of Matching Condition In the present embodiment, the degree of matching between the participating player of the previous game and the participating player of the next game is determined on the premise of performing the above-described product and cost distribution processing. Then, when the degree of matching satisfies the matching condition, the above-mentioned product and cost allocation processing is executed.

  In this case, whether or not the matching degree satisfies the matching condition can be determined based on the input information input by each player, for example. For example, the determination can be made based on input information such as a password input by the player in the game device.

  For example, in FIG. 7A, at the end of the previous game, the password (password) of the next game is displayed. The player remembers this password, for example, by writing it down. Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (B), a continue screen for playing the next game is displayed, and when continu play is selected, a password input screen shown in FIG. 7 (C) is displayed. Then, the player inputs the password displayed in FIG. 7A as input information on the password input screen of FIG. 7C.

  Here, in the password display screen of FIG. 7A, the same password (the same letters and numbers are used for the players who played together in the previous game (for example, players who belong to the same team)). Password) is displayed. For example, when the players PL1 to PL4 form a team and play together, the same password is displayed for these players PL1 to PL4.

  Then, in the next game, when these players PL1 to PL4 input the password on the password input screen of FIG. 7C, it is determined that the participating player of the previous game and the participating player of the next game match. it can. On the other hand, when there is a player who has input a different password in the next game, it can be determined that the participating player of the previous game and the participating player of the next game do not match. The input information used for determining the matching degree is not limited to the password displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 7A, and various modifications can be made. For example, the player may determine the degree of match by using a slogan or the like that has been in contact with each other using another contact means (smart phone, mobile phone, etc.).

  Further, whether or not the matching degree satisfies the matching condition may be determined based on the authentication information communicated via the network to which the terminal device of each player is communicatively connected.

  For example, in FIG. 8, the terminal devices TM1 to TMn of the player are communicatively connected to the network 510. Specifically, the terminal devices TM1 to TMn are communicatively connected to the server system 500 via the network 510. Then, when each player of each terminal device of TM1 to TMn touches the card reader 28 described in FIG. 4 with the game card (IC card or the like), the information of the game card is transmitted to the server system 500 as the authentication information. It The server system 500 (game system) determines the matching degree between the participating player of the previous game and the participating player of the next game based on this authentication information.

  For example, the server system 500 can determine that the participating players of the previous game are PL1 to PL4 based on the authentication information transmitted from the terminal devices TM1 to TMn. Then, by comparing and analyzing the authentication information of the participating player of the previous game and the authentication information of the participating player of the next game, the participating player of the next game becomes the participating players PL1 to PL4 of the previous game. It becomes possible to determine whether or not they match.

  Various kinds of information can be assumed as the authentication information used for determining the matching degree. For example, the terminal IDs of the terminal devices TM1 to TMn may be used as the authentication information, or a combination of the terminal ID and the game ID (the ID given by the manufacturer to each game) may be used as the authentication information.

  In addition, various methods can be assumed as the method of determining the degree of matching. For example, in FIG. 9A, the participating players of the previous game and the participating players of the next game are completely the same. Therefore, in this case, it is determined that the matching condition is satisfied.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 9B, some of the participating players of the previous game and the participating players of the next game (PL1, PL2) are the same, but the other players (PL3, PL4) are the same. Do not match. Therefore, in this case, it is determined that the matching condition is not satisfied.

  If the number of matching players of the previous game and the participating players of the next game is equal to or more than a predetermined number, or if the matching number ratio is equal to or more than the predetermined ratio, it is determined that the matching condition is satisfied, and The distribution of the deliverables and costs may be performed based on the result of the game (game score, game contribution). In other words, if the number of disagreements is greater than the predetermined number, or if the disagreement rate is higher than the predetermined rate, it is determined that the match condition is not satisfied, and in this case, the result of the previous game is Do not perform work-based product and cost allocation processing.

  For example, in FIG. 9 (A) and FIG. 9 (B), if the number of matching players of the previous game and the next game is, for example, 3 or more, or if the matching number ratio is 75% or more, the match is found. Judge that the conditions are met. In other words, if the number of mismatched persons is more than one, for example, or if the proportion of mismatched persons is greater than 25%, it is determined that the matching condition is not satisfied. By doing this, even if the participating players of the previous game and the next game do not completely match, the artifact and cost allocation processing based on the results of the previous game is executed, and the results of the previous game are executed. Both the bad player and the good player can be encouraged to actively participate in the next game. As a result, it becomes possible for the same member to improve the fun of the multiplayer game, in which missions and stages are cleared one after another, and improve the operation rate of the game. It should be noted that it is desirable to eliminate the causal relationship due to the distribution for the player who is missing without participating in the next game. For example, the allocation for non-participating players to the next game is invalidated.

  Alternatively, when the player who has the highest game score or game contribution in the previous game and the player who has the lowest game score or game contribution in the previous game participate in the next game, the degree of match is It may be determined that the matching condition is satisfied.

  For example, in FIG. 9C, in the previous game, the player PL1 has the lowest game result or game contribution, and the player PLN has the highest game result or game contribution. In this case, when these players PL1 and PLN participate in at least the next game, it is determined that the matching condition is satisfied.

  That is, as to the player PL1 having the lowest game score or game contribution in the previous game, as described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B, the distribution of the deliverables in the next game (distribution ratio) , Distribution amount) is the lowest, and the cost distribution in the next game is the highest. On the other hand, for the player PLN having the highest game score or game contribution in the previous game, the product distribution in the next game is the highest, and the cost distribution in the next game is the lowest. Therefore, if it is determined that the matching condition is satisfied on the condition that at least these players PL1 and PLN have participated, the participation of these players PL1 and PLN in the next game is prompted, and the fun of the multi-player game is improved. You will be able to exert the effect of doing.

  It should be noted that it is desirable to delete the causal relationship due to the distribution for the player (for example, PL3) who has been missed without participating in the next game in FIG. 9C. For example, the allocation for non-participating players to the next game is invalidated.

  In addition, for the player PL1 having the lowest game score or game contribution in the previous game, the player having the second lowest game score or game contribution, or the player PLN having the highest game score or game contribution, Next, a match condition may be determined by adding a player having a high game score or a high game contribution.

2.3 Specific Example of Distribution Process Next, a specific example of the distribution process of the present embodiment will be described. In the present embodiment, when it is determined that the game score or game contribution of the first player in the previous game is lower than the game score or game contribution of the second player in the previous game, In the next game, the distribution process is performed so that the first player becomes more disadvantageous in the distribution of the product or the cost than the second player. Specifically, the first player has a lower distribution rate or distribution amount of the deliverables or the higher cost distribution rate or distribution amount than the second player. Perform distribution processing.

  For example, in FIG. 10A, the game results and the game contributions of the players PL1 to PL4 in the previous game are shown. The game result is, for example, the number of enemies destroyed by each player or the score, and the game contribution is, for example, the enemy destruction contribution or item charging contribution of each player. The enemy team destruction contribution degree is an index showing how much each player has contributed to destroy the enemy team. The item charge contribution degree indicates the ratio of the payment amount of the item charge when the player pays the in-game currency or the like by the item charge in the game.

  Then, if the game results and the game contributions of the players PL1 to PL4 are as shown in FIG. 10A, the product distribution ratio in the next game will be as shown in FIG. To be Further, the player is informed that the cost distribution rate in the next game will be as shown in FIG. For example, a screen showing the product distribution ratio of the players PL1 to PL4 and a screen showing the cost distribution ratio are displayed on the display unit of the terminal device of the player. The product distribution rate screen and the cost distribution rate screen may be displayed before the start of the next game.

  In FIG. 10A, the player PL1 (first player) in the previous game has a low game score and the game contribution level, and the player PL4 (second player) has a high game score and the game contribution level. .

  Therefore, in FIG. 10B, the distribution process is performed so that the distribution of the product is more disadvantageous in the player PL1 than in the player PL4. Specifically, the distribution process is performed such that the player PL1 has a lower product distribution ratio than the player PL4. For example, the product distribution rate of the player PL1 is 15 (15%), which is lower than the product distribution rate of 40 (40%) of the player PL4.

  Further, in FIG. 11, the distribution process is performed such that the player PL1 is more disadvantageous in the cost distribution than the player PL4. Specifically, the distribution process is performed so that the player PL1 has a higher cost distribution rate than the player PL4. For example, the cost distribution rate of the player PL1 is 40 (40%), which is higher than the cost distribution rate of 15 (15%) of the player PL4.

  When the product distribution ratio and the cost distribution ratio are set in this way, in the next game, the product / cost allocation processing as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B is performed.

  For example, in FIG. 12A, at the end of the next game, the acquired experience value (game parameter value in a broad sense), the acquired point, and the acquired coin (in-game in a broad sense) which are the products of the entire group of the players PL1 to PL4. Currency) is shown to be 1000, 400, 600, respectively. The product distribution rates of the players PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4 are 15, 20, 25, and 40, respectively. Therefore, the earned experience value = 1000, the earned point = 400, and the earned coin = 600 are distributed to each player according to these product distribution ratios = 15, 20, 25, and 40. Taking the acquired experience value = 1000 as an example, the experience values of 150, 200, 250, and 400 are allocated to the players PL1, PL2, PL3, and PL4, respectively. Taking acquired points = 400 as an example, 60, 80, 100, and 160 points are allocated to the players PL1, PL2, PL3, and PL4, respectively. For example, when the acquired coins = 600, 90, 120, 150 and 240 coins are distributed to the players PL1, PL2, PL3 and PL4, respectively.

  In this way, the player's PL1 who has a low game score or game contribution in the previous game has 150, 60, and 90 earned experience points, earned points, and earned coins, respectively, and the other players PL2, PL3, and PL4. Less than. On the other hand, the acquired experience value, acquired points, and acquired coins of the player PL4 who has a high game score or game contribution in the previous game are 400, 160, and 240, respectively, compared to the other players PL1, PL2, PL3. Will increase.

  Further, FIG. 12B shows the distribution of the game fee, which is the cost for playing the next game at the start of the next game. here. The game fee is, for example, a coin which is an in-game currency (virtual currency). The coins necessary for playing the next game in the entire group of players PL1 to PL4 are, for example, 500 coins. The cost distribution rates of the players PL1, PL2, PL3, PL4 are 40, 25, 20, and 15, respectively. Therefore, the coins paid by the players PL1, PL2, PL3, and PL4 to play the next game are 200, 125, 100, and 75 coins, respectively.

  In this way, the player PL1 who has a low game score or game contribution in the previous game has to pay 200 coins to play the next game, which is more than the other players PL2, PL3, and PL4. Will increase. On the other hand, the player PL4, who has a high game score or game contribution in the previous game, has to pay 75 coins to play the next game, which is less than the other players PL2, PL3, PL4. Become.

  In the above description, an example in which the products and costs are distributed in proportion to the product distribution ratio and the cost distribution ratio has been described. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made. . For example, to a player PL1 having a low game result or a low game contribution, for example, products are distributed with a smaller distribution ratio and distribution amount than in the case of proportional distribution, or a distribution ratio and distribution amount larger than in the case of proportional distribution. You may allocate the cost at. Further, to the player PL4 having a high game result or a high game contribution, for example, the product is distributed with a larger distribution ratio and distribution amount than in the case of proportional distribution, or with a smaller distribution ratio and distribution amount than in the case of proportional distribution. Costs may be allocated. Further, by using a predetermined function (quadratic function, cubic function, etc.) having a product distribution rate as an argument or a predetermined calculation table, a product is distributed, a predetermined function having a cost distribution rate as an argument, and The costs may be distributed using a predetermined calculation table.

2.4 Readjustment process In the present embodiment, readjustment of the distribution of the deliverables or costs adjusted as shown in FIGS. 10A to 12B is possible. Specifically, before the end of the previous game or before the start of the next game, readjustment processing of product or cost distribution is performed based on the readjustment operation input performed by each player.

  13A to 15 are examples of readjustment screens for distribution of deliverables and costs. For example, a readjustment screen as shown in FIG. 13A is displayed after the end of the previous game or before the start of the next game. On this readjustment screen, it is reported that the player can readjust the distribution of deliverables and costs. For example, A1 in FIG. 13A is a distribution rate set by the adjustment processing of the distribution of the deliverables and costs described in FIGS. 10A to 12B. The player can readjust the distribution rate shown in A1 by the number of remaining readjustments shown in A2. Further, as shown in A3, a time limit is set for the readjustment of the distribution rate, and within this time limit, the readjustment operation input of the player is accepted, and when the time limit has elapsed, the readjustment operation is performed. Input acceptance ends.

  Then, for example, when changing the distribution ratio of the player PL1, each player operates the adjustment icons indicated by A4 and A5. Taking the case of a touch panel as an example, touching the plus adjustment icon shown in A4 increases the distribution rate (= 15) of the player PL1, and touching the minus adjustment icon shown in A5 decreases the distribution rate. Here, each player can readjust not only the distribution ratio of other players (distribution in a broad sense) but also the distribution ratio of itself. It should be noted that various modifications can be made such that readjustment of the own distribution rate is disabled and readjustment of the distribution rate of other players is possible.

  Then, in A6 of FIG. 13B, the player touches the plus adjustment icon of A4 six times, so that the distribution rate is “+6” from “15” to “21” of FIG. 13A as shown in A7. Is only increasing. Then, since the operation of increasing the distribution ratio by "+6" is performed, the player is informed that the distribution ratio of the other player needs to be reduced by the amount of "+6" as shown in A8.

  Then, for example, it is assumed that the player touches the minus adjustment icon indicated by A9 for readjusting the distribution ratio of the player PL4, for example, only six times. Then, as shown in B1 of FIG. 14 (A), it is reported that the distribution rate is “−6”, and as shown in B2, the distribution rate of the player PL4 is changed from “40” in FIG. 13 (B) to “40”. 34 ". Then, for example, when the player touches the “OK” confirmation icon shown in B3, the series of readjustment processing of “+6” and “−6” is completed. As a result, as shown by B4 in FIG. 14A, the remaining readjustment number of the player is reduced from 10 times shown by A2 in FIG. 13A to 4 times.

  In this way, each player performs the readjustment operation input within the time limit indicated by A3 in FIG. 13A, and performs the readjustment of the distribution ratio by, for example, the remaining readjustment times indicated by A2. Then, as indicated by B5 in FIG. 14B, when the remaining readjustment count becomes “0”, the player cannot readjust the distribution rate even before the time limit elapses. That is, the player's readjustment operation input cannot be accepted. Then, the player whose remaining readjustment count is "0" touches the approval icon, for example, as shown at B6, and notifies the system that the readjustment has been completed.

  The readjustment operation input is not limited to the touch operation of the adjustment icon or the like as described with reference to FIGS. 13A and 13B. For example, the readjustment operation input may be an operation of an operation unit such as an operation button of the terminal device or an operation by voice input.

  Then, for example, even before the time limit elapses as shown in C1 of FIG. 15, when all the participating players touch the approval icon as shown in C2, C3, C4, and C5, the readjustment process ends, and After that, the readjustment operation input from the player cannot be accepted.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the distribution of the deliverables and costs adjusted by the result of the previous game can be readjusted based on the readjustment operation input of the player. This makes it possible to readjust the distribution based on the player's intention when the player is not satisfied with the distribution as a result of the previous game. Therefore, it is possible to realize a product and cost distribution process that reflects the player's intention to some extent. Further, if a readjustment method as shown in FIGS. 13A to 15 is adopted, various bargaining will occur between players regarding readjustment of the distribution of deliverables and costs. As a result, it becomes possible to add the fun of re-adjusting the distribution of deliverables and costs to the game, and it is possible to realize an interesting multi-player game that is less likely to get tired.

  Further, in the present embodiment, processing for limiting the readjustment of the distribution of the deliverables or costs in this readjustment processing is also performed. This limiting process is realized by, for example, the number of remaining readjustments shown in A2 of FIG. The player cannot perform the readjustment operation input exceeding the remaining readjustment count, and the readjustment of the product or the cost distribution is limited. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a situation in which the distribution of the deliverables or the costs adjusted based on the result of the previous game is excessively changed by the readjustment operation input of the player.

  The number of remaining readjustments may be a uniform number for each participating player, or may be a different number depending on each player. For example, the remaining readjustment count may be increased or decreased according to the player's game contribution degree or the like.

  Further, the method of limiting the readjustment of the distribution of the deliverables or the costs is not limited to the above-described method of remaining readjustment, and various modifications can be made. For example, a method of limiting the number of times of touching the adjustment icon itself may be adopted. Alternatively, a method of limiting the readjustment amount so that it falls within a given range based on the distribution rate (distribution amount) set by the result of the previous game may be adopted. For example, when the distribution rate of the player PL1 in FIG. 13A is "15", for example, a method of limiting the re-adjustable range to the range of "10 to 20" based on "15" May be adopted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the readjustment operation input by each player is accepted during a given period, and the deliverables or the costs are given by a plurality of participating players (for example, all players) before the given period elapses. If the appropriation of the distribution is approved, the acceptance of the readjustment operation input ends. For example, in C2, C3, C4, and C5 of FIG. 15, all the participating players approve, and therefore, even before the given period, which is the time limit, elapses as shown in C1, it is determined by the subsequent players. The readjustment operation input cannot be accepted.

  For example, in FIG. 16A, during the period TA, the readjustment operation input of the distribution of deliverables and costs is accepted. This period TA corresponds to the time limit indicated by A3 in FIG. At this time, as shown by A2 in FIG. 13 (A), the remaining readjustment count is limited to a predetermined number of times, so that the readjustment limiting process of the product or cost distribution is realized.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16B, if the approval of all the members is given as shown in C2 to C5 in FIG. 15 before the period TA elapses, the acceptance of the readjustment operation input ends. This makes it possible to end the readjustment process early and move to the next process early.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after the end of the previous game or before the start of the next game, the confirmation process for confirming the distribution of the deliverables or the costs is performed, and the readjustment process is performed after the confirmation process. There is.

  For example, in FIG. 16C, confirmation display of the distribution of the deliverables and costs (distribution rate or distribution amount, etc.) is performed after the end of the previous game. Then, after this confirmation display, the readjustment processing of the confirmation-displayed distribution is performed. That is, during the period TA, the readjustment operation input of each player is accepted, and the readjustment processing of the distribution that is confirmed and displayed is performed based on this readjustment operation input.

  Specifically, the screen of the product distribution rate as shown in FIG. 10B is displayed on the display unit of the terminal device of each player. On this product distribution rate screen, the product distribution rate (distribution amount) for each player is displayed in association with each player. Alternatively, the screen of the cost allocation rate as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the display unit of the terminal device of each player. On this cost distribution rate screen, the cost distribution rate (distribution amount) for each player is displayed in association with each player.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 16D, a confirmation display of the distribution of the deliverables and the costs may be displayed before the start of the next game, and the readjustment process may be performed after the confirmation display. Here, before the start of the next game, for example, when the continue screen is displayed after the end of the previous game, is a period between the display timing of the continue screen and the start timing of the next game.

  Also, for example, chat between players may be turned on during the readjustment process period TA. That is, a chat screen for chatting between a plurality of players is displayed. Specifically, the distribution processing unit 612 (112) in FIG. 2 performs a process of causing a chat between the players in a given period TA. Also, enable players to exchange opinions about the distribution of deliverables and costs. For example, in FIG. 17, a chat screen between the players PL2 and PL1 is displayed. Since the distribution rate of the player PL1 is “+6”, the player PL2 notifies the player PL1 of that fact on the chat screen. Then, the player PL1 informs the player PL2 on the chat screen that the distribution rate of the player PL2 is also increased, as a thank-you for increasing the distribution rate of itself by "+6".

  In this case, for example, the chat screen may be turned on only between the players who have a relationship of increasing or decreasing the distribution rate or the distribution amount. For example, the distribution processing unit 612 (112), when the process of increasing or decreasing the distribution ratio or distribution amount of the deliverables or costs is performed between the first player and the second player, the distribution processing unit 612 (112) and the second player. Performs a process for causing the player to chat. By doing so, it becomes possible to exchange opinions regarding the distribution only between the players who have a stake, and it is possible to realize smooth progress of processing and the like.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a player who has a good result in the previous game plays better than the determined deliverable (reward) in the next game, the better result is selected. Good. For example, the distribution of the artifacts according to at least one of the game score and the game contribution degree in the previous game is set as the first artifact distribution, and the artifacts according to at least one of the game score and the game contribution degree in the next game are set. It is assumed that the allocation is the second product allocation. In this case, in the present embodiment, it is possible to select either the first product distribution or the second product distribution based on the selection input by the player. Alternatively, the system automatically selects the better product distribution of the first product distribution and the second product distribution.

  For example, in FIG. 18, distribution based on the result of the previous game (game result, game contribution) (first achievement distribution) and distribution based on the result of the next game (game result, game contribution) (second achievement) Item allocation) is displayed to the player. In the distribution according to the result of the previous game, the acquired experience value, acquired points, and acquired coins are 850, 400, and 600, respectively. On the other hand, in the distribution according to the result of the next game, the earned experience value, the earned point, and the earned coin are 950, 600, and 800, respectively. In this case, the player is allowed to select a distribution according to the result of the next game, which is more advantageous to the player. That is, when the player makes a selection input that desires the distribution based on the result of the next game, the distribution based on the result of the previous game is invalidated and the distribution based on the result of the next game is selected. As a result, the player can obtain a product with an acquired experience value of 950, an acquired point of 600, and an acquired coin of 800, and it is possible to advance the subsequent game to an advantage.

  In this case, the better distribution (more advantageous to the player) of the distribution according to the result of the previous game (first artifact distribution) and the distribution according to the result of the next game (second artifact distribution) Distribution) may be automatically selected. For example, in the case of FIG. 18, since the distribution based on the result of the next game is more advantageous to the player, the system automatically selects the distribution based on the result of the next game.

  For example, if the artifacts are distributed only by the distribution based on the result of the previous game, for example, in the next game, the distribution will be dissatisfied with the player who has a better result than the previous game. I will end up. In this respect, as shown in FIG. 18, by adopting a method of giving the player a right to select the distribution or automatically selecting a better distribution, it is possible to prevent such dissatisfaction of the player. Like

3. Detailed Process Next, a detailed process example of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 19 and 20.

  First, game processing is executed to determine whether or not the game is over (steps S1 and S2). When the game is over, the game score and the game contribution of each player are calculated (step S3). For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (A), the game performance such as the number of defeated enemies and the score, and the game contribution degree such as the enemy destruction contribution degree and the item charge contribution degree are calculated. Then, based on the calculated game score and game contribution rate, the product / cost distribution ratio is calculated (step S4). For example, as shown in FIGS. 10B and 11, the product distribution rate and the cost distribution rate of each player are calculated.

  Next, a display process of the calculated distribution rate is performed to make the player confirm the distribution rate (step S6). That is, the distribution confirmation display as described with reference to FIG. Then, the readjustment process of the distribution rate is performed (step S6). That is, as described with reference to FIGS. 13A to 15, the readjustment process of the distribution ratio of the deliverables and the cost is performed based on the readjustment operation input of the player. Then, it is determined whether or not the readjustment process is finished (step S7), and when the readjustment process is finished, the series of processes in FIG. 19 is finished. For example, as described with reference to FIGS. 16A and 16B, the readjustment process ends when a given period TA elapses or when all participating players approve.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the distribution process of deliverables and costs. First, the degree of agreement of the participating players with the previous game is obtained (step S11). For example, as described with reference to FIGS. 7A to 8, the matching degree of the participating players is determined based on the input information of the player and the authentication information communicated via the network.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the matching degree satisfies the matching condition (step S12), and if it does not satisfy the matching condition, the process shifts to normal processing in which distribution based on the game result of the previous game is not performed (step S13). On the other hand, when the matching condition is satisfied, the game result of the previous game, the product based on the game contribution degree, and the cost distribution rate are read from the distribution information storage unit 674 in FIG. For example, the distribution information storage unit 674 stores the deliverables calculated in step S4 of FIG. 19, information of the cost distribution rate, or the information of the distribution rate readjusted in step S6. In S14, information on this distribution rate is read.

  Next, the game fee for each player is determined based on the cost distribution rate in the previous game (step S15). For example, as shown in FIG. 12C, the payout coin, which is the game charge of each player, is determined. Then, the game process is executed (step S16).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the game is over (step S17), and when the game is over, the game score and the game contribution of each player in the game are calculated (step S18). Then, based on the distribution rate of the product in the previous game, the product to be given to each player is determined and distributed (step S19). For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, products such as the acquired experience value, the acquired points, and the acquired coins to be given to each player are determined and distributed to each player.

  Although the present embodiment has been described in detail as described above, it will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that many modifications can be made without departing from the novel matters and effects of the present invention. Therefore, all such modifications are included in the scope of the present invention. For example, in the specification or the drawings, at least once, a term (allocation ratio / allocation amount, coin / in-game currency, experience value, etc.) described together with a broader or synonymous different term (allocation, cost, game parameter value, etc.) Can be replaced with the different terms anywhere in the specification or drawings. Further, the game processing, the game result calculation processing, the distribution processing, the readjustment processing, and the like are not limited to those described in the present embodiment, and methods equivalent to these are also included in the scope of the present invention.
