[2. Game outline]
In the game system S, a game that improves the performance of the first object is executed. The game is executed based on the second object selected as the usage target from the plurality of second objects. Here, before explaining specific contents of the game, the meaning of each term such as an object will be described.

  An object is a target that can be used in a game, for example. The object may mean all of the objects prepared in the game, or may mean only those given to the user (those held by the user) among the objects. For example, a character, a card, an item, or the like corresponds to an example of “object”.

  The first object is, for example, an object for which the purpose of improving performance is set. The performance is, for example, the ability (skill) of the first object. Further, for example, the performance is a parameter that affects the operation result of the first object. For example, the first object is the main character in the game. Parameters relating to performance are set in the first object. The parameter relating to the performance may be, for example, a parameter indicating the performance itself (a parameter directly indicating the performance) or a parameter used (consumed) to improve the performance. For example, the parameter indicating the performance itself is a parameter indicating whether the performance is high or low, and a parameter indicating the presence or absence of special performance.

  The second object is an object different from the first object, and may be, for example, an object that cooperates with the first object (an object on the same team) or an object that competes with the first object (an object on the other team). ) May be sufficient. For example, at least one of the second objects owned by the user is set as a usage target. Parameters are set in the second object. The parameter is a parameter that affects the improvement of the performance of the first object.

  The usage target is, for example, an object used in a game. For example, the usage target is an object that is referenced during the execution of the game. For example, the second object whose parameter is referred to when the process for improving the performance of the first object is executed corresponds to the usage target.

  Hereinafter, specific contents of the game will be described based on the meaning of each term described above. In the present embodiment, a character will be described as an example of an object. The main character described later is an example of the first object, and the event character described later is an example of the second object. Therefore, in the following description, the part described as "hero character" can be read as "first object", and the part described as "event character" can be read as "second object".

  In the present embodiment, a case where a game for raising a character who is a baseball player is executed will be described as an example. The game of the present embodiment includes a plurality of parts. For example, a success part in which the user trains a character, a stadium part in which the user team and the opponent team compete, and a reward when the user clears the mission. And a challenge part to obtain. For example, a character who has been trained in the success part can participate in a match in the stadium part. In the following, the character being trained in the success part will be referred to as the main character, and the character that has been trained and has become able to participate in the match in the stadium part will be referred to as the original character.

  In the present embodiment, the processing in the success part will be mainly described. In the success part, the user trains the main character while advancing the scenario. The scenario is, for example, a game story developed in accordance with the progress of the game, and is a fictitious event occurring in the world of the game. In the present embodiment, as an example of a scenario, a game story in which a hero character belonging to a high school baseball club becomes a professional baseball player from the summer of the second year of high school will be described. The number of scenarios may be one, but a plurality of types are prepared, and the ability to be easily trained may be different for each scenario. The user can select a favorite scenario.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the success part. As shown in FIG. 2, in the success part, the main part is executed after the prepart is executed, and when the scenario progresses to the end, the training of the main character is completed, and it is registered as the original character and can be used in the stadium part. Become. In the pre-part, necessary information is registered and set in the main part. For example, in the pre-part, a name, a defensive position, a dominant arm, and the like are registered as the basic information of the hero character. Further, for example, in the pre-part, the event deck is set and the game item is selected.

  The event deck is a deck of a character for generating an event during the main part. The deck is, for example, a group including a predetermined number of characters used in the game among a plurality of characters owned by the user. Hereinafter, the character set on the event deck will be referred to as an event character. An event is an event that occurs in the game, for example, a conversation between characters. The event may be unrelated to the training of the main character, or may have an effect on the training. When the event influences the upbringing, it may be not only advantageous for the upbringing but also disadvantageous for the upbringing, for example. In the present embodiment, the event that occurs during the main part is not fixed, and various events occur according to one or more event characters that the user has incorporated into the event deck.

  The event character may be given at the first start of the game or during the tutorial, may be given by a lottery or a reward, or may be given as a present from another user. The user holds that the given event character is associated with the user identification information such as the user ID for identifying the user in the game. For example, the user can arbitrarily incorporate up to a predetermined number of event characters from the event characters owned by the user into the event deck. In the prepart, an event deck setting image for setting an event character to be incorporated in the event deck is displayed.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the event deck setting image. As shown in FIG. 3, the event deck setting image G100 includes an event deck setting area A110. The name of the event deck is displayed in the event deck setting area A110, and the name of the event deck can be changed.

  Further, the event deck setting area A110 is provided with a setting frame display area A111 for setting an event character that is a member of the event deck. In the setting frame display area A111, it is possible to display as many event characters as can be incorporated in the event deck. For example, in the setting frame display area A111, setting frames A1111 to A1115 for selecting an event character to be incorporated in the event deck from the event characters owned by the user, and the event characters owned by other users. A setting frame A1116 for selecting an event character to be incorporated in the event deck as a helper from among the above is displayed. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated in the event deck among the event characters owned by the user is set to “5”, and the other user owns the event characters. The upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated into the event deck as an assistant from the event characters being played is set to "1".

  For example, when the user selects any of the setting frames A1111 to A1115, the event character to be incorporated in the event deck can be selected from the list of event characters owned by the user. Further, for example, when the user selects the setting frame A1116, the event character to be incorporated in the event deck as an assistant can be selected from the list of event characters owned by other users. Alternatively, for example, the event deck may be automatically organized from the event characters owned by the user and the event characters owned by other users.

  In this embodiment, the logical map used in the main part is set based on the event deck. The logical map is for facilitating the development of the main character in the main part, and is a map in which panels that produce various effects are arranged. The effect is an effect that makes the performance of the main character advantageous, and may be, for example, an increase in the parameter indicating the performance, or an increase in the parameter necessary to increase the parameter indicating the performance. It may be possible to increase the probability of increasing these parameters. When the logical map confirmation button B120 in the event deck setting area A110 is selected, a logical map confirmation image for confirming the logical map corresponding to the event deck being set is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the logical map confirmation image, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the logical map. As shown in FIG. 4, the logical map confirmation image G200 includes a logical point display area A210. In the logical point display area A210, the current value A2101 and the maximum value A2102 of the logical points are displayed. The maximum value is an upper limit value, which is the maximum possession amount of logical points. The logical point is a point required to generate the effect indicated by each panel PN in the logical map LM. The effect shown by each panel PN occurs by consuming logical points. That is, reducing the logical points held by the user is a condition for activating the effect.

  Further, the logical map confirmation image G200 includes a logical map display area A220. The logical map LM is displayed in the logical map display area A220. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the logical map LM of the present embodiment, the panels PN can be arranged in a grid pattern, and nine panels PN can be arranged vertically and horizontally (a total of 81 panels PN). Has become. That is, for example, each of the plurality of panels PN is arranged such that the panel PN and at least one other panel PN are adjacent (or connected) to each other. In the example of FIGS. 4 and 5, the panel PN is shown by a solid line. An area AR surrounded by a dotted line is an area in which the panel PN can be arranged, and as will be described later, the panel PN may be arranged in the future.

  It should be noted that in the drawings, the panel is labeled with the symbol "PN" and the area is labeled with the symbol "AR", but these symbols are not displayed on the game screen. . In addition, in the present embodiment, a two-digit numerical value is shown after the symbol "PN" written in each panel, the first digit of the numerical value indicates the X coordinate value, and the second digit of the numerical value indicates the Y coordinate. Indicates the value. Therefore, for example, the panel PN41 shows a panel having an X coordinate value of 4 and a Y coordinate value of 1. Similarly, a 2-digit numerical value is shown after the symbol "AR" written in each area, the first digit of the numerical value indicates the X coordinate value, and the second digit of the numerical value indicates the Y coordinate value. There is. Therefore, for example, the area AR11 indicates an area in which the X coordinate value is 1 and the Y coordinate value is 1. In the present embodiment, when it is not necessary to distinguish the individual panels, the symbol "PN" is attached and the numerical value is omitted, and when it is not necessary to distinguish the individual regions, the symbol "AR" is attached and the numerical value is assigned. Omit it.

  Further, the number of panels PN that can be arranged on the logical map LM may be arbitrary, and may be more or less than 81. Further, in the logical map LM, the panels PN do not necessarily have to be arranged in a grid pattern, and the panels PN may be arranged irregularly. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which a two-dimensional coordinate axis (X axis-Y axis) is set in the logical map LM as shown in FIG. 5, and the position of each panel PN is specified by the two-dimensional coordinate.

  For example, each panel PN in the logical map LM shows the content of the effect associated with the panel PN. In FIG. 4, the content of the effect is shown by a character string, but the content of the effect may be shown by an icon or a combination of the character string and the icon. For example, as the effects associated with each panel PN, the effect of increasing the experience points of the hero character, the effect of increasing the ability parameter of the hero character, the effect of increasing the practice level of the hero character, the physical strength or resilience of the hero character. The effect of increasing the evaluation of other characters with respect to the main character, the effect of increasing the maximum value or acquisition amount of logical points, the effect of reducing the probability of injury of the main character, and when the main character practices. There are effects such as increasing the number of experience points gained. Details such as experience points, ability parameters, practice level, physical strength, resilience, evaluation, and practice will be described later.

  For example, when an arbitrary panel PN in the logical map LM is selected, details of the panel PN are displayed in the panel detail display area A230. As shown in FIG. 4, in the panel detail display area A230, the content of the effect associated with the selected panel PN and the logical points necessary to generate the effect (select the panel PN). , Is displayed. FIG. 4 shows a display example in the case where the panel PN54 (a panel displayed as “muscle strength” having an X coordinate value of 5 and a Y coordinate value of 4) is selected, and the panel detail display area A230 shows As the content of the effect, an increase amount of the muscular strength point and a logical point required to generate the effect are displayed.

  In addition, in the logical map LM, there may be a panel PN to which an effect is not associated. For example, the panel PN55 (panel with a face in the center of the logical map LM) is set as the start position panel PN55 that defines the start position, and is not associated with any particular effect.

  In the present embodiment, among the panels PN arranged on the logical map LM, the panels PN45, PN54, PN56, PN65 which are the upper, lower, left and right of the start position panel PN55 or the upper, lower, left and right panels PN of the selected panel PN are selected. be able to. Therefore, in the state where no panel PN has been selected yet, the user can select any of the panels PN45, PN54, PN56, PN65 on the left, right, top and bottom of the start position panel PN55. After that, the user can select the upper, lower, left and right panels PN45, PN54, PN56, PN65 at the start position or the upper, lower, left and right panels PN of the already selected panel. In this way, the user can start the starting position panel PN55 and select the panels PN one by one, thereby producing an advantageous effect in the training of the main character.

  In addition, in the logical map LM, there is a panel PN whose effect contents are randomly determined (for example, a panel PN52 having an X coordinate value of 5 and a Y coordinate value of 2 and displayed as “random”). . In this panel PN, when any one of the upper, lower, left and right panels PN is selected, the effect associated with the panel PN among the plurality of effects is randomly determined. The panel PN in the logical map LM may be more effective as it is farther from the start position panel PN55. The stronger the effect is, the greater the degree to which the hero character is favored is increased. For example, the increased amount of experience points and the increased amount of ability parameters are increased.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the logical map confirmation image G200 allows the user to confirm the logical map LM before the start of the main part. Therefore, the user can try various settings of the event deck so as to obtain the logical map LM that matches the main character training policy.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing how the logical map LM is set in accordance with the change of the event deck. As shown in FIG. 6, when the user changes the event deck, the logical map LM is set accordingly. The details of the relationship between the event deck and the logical map LM will be described later, but when the event deck changes, the number of panels PN, the arrangement position of the panels PN, and the effect of each panel PN change. When the user sets an event deck so as to obtain a desired logical map LM, selects the next button B130, and selects a game item used in the main part, the main part is started.

  In the scenario of the main part, the event character incorporated in the event deck appears. The event character may appear as a teammate or manager of the protagonist character. Therefore, the event character possessed by the user becomes a character by being incorporated in the event deck. The character incorporated in the event deck may appear as a player of a rival team, for example. Moreover, a unique character (for example, a director, a scout, a manager, a teammate, etc.) may be set as a character in advance in the scenario. Hereinafter, this character is called a scenario-specific character.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the main part includes a plurality of sections. A section is a rough period of time in the game, corresponding to a quarter or a season, for example. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the main part is divided into four sections in time series. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, each section includes a plurality of turns, for example, 12 turns. A turn is a minute period in the game, and corresponds to, for example, one day, one week, or one month.

  For example, the user can instruct the action of the main character every turn. Therefore, the turn can be said to be a unit for selecting the action of the main character. For example, when one turn corresponds to one week in the game, each time one turn ends, virtual time in the game progresses for one week. The number of turns included in a section may be different for each section. In the main part, when each turn comes, a main image for selecting an option indicating the action of the hero character is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a main image in the main part. As shown in FIG. 7, the progress of the scenario is displayed in the upper area A310 of the main image G300. For example, the upper area A310 displays the current section, the number of turns left until the current section ends, information about the date and time in the game, and the like. The upper area A310 includes a gauge area A311 indicating a physical strength parameter of the main character. For example, the physical strength parameter is a parameter necessary for the hero character to practice, decreases when the hero character practices, and increases when the hero character rests. In the lower area A320 of the main image G300, buttons for displaying the log of the main part and automatically sending, skipping, or omitting the message may be displayed.

  Further, the main image G300 includes a hero's ability area A330. Various ability parameters of the hero character are displayed in the hero ability area A330. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the ability parameters of the main character as a batter are shown, and for example, trajectory parameters, meet parameters, power parameters, running parameters, shoulder parameters, and defense parameters are displayed. The trajectory parameter indicates how high the batted ball of the main character rises. The meet parameter indicates the meet force of the main character. The power parameter indicates the power of the main character. The running power parameter indicates the foot speed of the main character. The shoulder force parameter indicates the speed of the main character's throwing ball. The defensive power parameter indicates the defensiveness of the hero character.

  Further, the main image G300 includes a command area A340. In the command area A340, options P3401 to P3407 indicating the actions of the main character are displayed. When the user selects option P3401, the main character takes a break from practice and the physical strength parameter increases. When the user selects option P3402, the screen transitions to a practice image to be described later, and the main character practices. When the user selects the option P3403, a transition is made to a logical map selection image described later, and the effect associated with each panel PN in the logical map LM can be generated. When the user selects option P3404, the experience parameter described later can be consumed to improve the ability parameter of the main character. When the user selects option P3405, the main character is hospitalized and the injury or illness is healed. When the user selects option P3406, the hero character plays and the motivation parameter that affects the amount of experience points acquired increases. When the user selects option P3407, the hero character has a date and the motivation parameter increases. The main image G300 also displays a logical point display area A350 for displaying the current value A3501 and the maximum value A3502 of the logical points.

  As described above, every time each turn comes, the user selects any one of the options P3401 to P3407 from the main image G300. The option P3406 or P3407 may be selected and the experience points may be acquired in an event in which the hero character plays or date, but basically, the option points P3402 are selected and the experience points are acquired. . For example, when the user selects the option P3402, the training image is switched to a training image for selecting a training item.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the practice image. As shown in FIG. 8, the upper area A410 of the practice image G400 may be similar to the upper area A310 of the main image G300. The practice image G400 also includes an experience point area A420. In the experience point area A420, the current experience points of the main character are displayed. The experience points are parameters for training the main character, and in the present embodiment, five types of experience points are set: muscle strength points, agility points, technical points, changing ball points, and mental points. Experience points increase as the hero character practices or an event occurs.

  The practice image G400 also includes a command area A430. In the command area A430, a plurality of options P4301 to P4306 corresponding to a plurality of practice items are displayed. The practice item can also be the practice content or the training method. In the present embodiment, the type of increasing experience points and the increasing amount are determined for each practice item. A level is set for each practice item, and the level increases when the number of practice times reaches a predetermined number. The higher the level of the practice item, the greater the amount of increase in experience points.

  For example, when the user selects the option P4301, the hero character performs batting practice, and muscle strength points, technical points, and mental points increase. Further, for example, when the user selects the option P4302, the hero character performs strength training, and the strength points and the mental points increase. Further, for example, when the user selects the option P4303, the main character performs base running practice, and the strength points and the agility points increase. Further, for example, when the user selects the option P4304, the hero character performs shoulder strength exercises, and muscle strength points, agility points, and technical points increase. Further, for example, when the user selects the option P4305, the hero character performs defensive practice, and the agility point, the technical point, and the mental point increase. Further, for example, when the user selects the option P4306, the hero character performs mental practice, and the technical points and the mental points increase.

  In the present embodiment, the user continuously selects any of the options P4301 to P4306 twice in order to make the main character practice. For example, when the main character wants to practice base running, the user first selects the option P4303. In this case, the option P4303 is provisionally selected, and the cursor C4307 is displayed so as to point to the option P4303. Then, above the option P4303, there is a probability display area A4308 for displaying the probability of being injured during base running practice, and below the option P4303, the amount of logical points acquired when the base practice is successful is displayed. There is an acquisition amount display area A4309 for doing so. It should be noted that the amount of logical points to be acquired may be set to an upper limit value according to the practice item, or a bonus may be generated by the event character.

  The probability of injury is determined, for example, based on the physical strength parameter of the main character, and the smaller the physical strength parameter, the higher the probability of injury. In addition, the amount of acquired logical points is determined based on, for example, a character associated with the temporarily selected practice item (a character displayed in a character area A440 described later) and associated with the temporarily selected practice item. The higher the number of characters played, the higher it becomes. It should be noted that, in the vicinity of the experience point area A420, the experience points increased when the temporarily selected practice item (running base practice in FIG. 8) is executed may be displayed.

  The practice image G400 also includes a character area A440. In the present embodiment, an event character incorporated in the event deck and a scenario-specific character are associated with each practice item, and characters other than the main character perform any practice or observe the practice. To be done. For example, in the character area A440, a character associated with the temporarily selected practice item is displayed. The character associated with each practice item may be fixed, but changes in each turn in the present embodiment.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8, since the running base practice is temporarily selected, the character associated with the running base practice is displayed in the character area A440. The character area A440 includes a gauge area A4401. Gauge area A4401 shows the evaluation of the main character of the character. For example, the evaluation increases when the hero character makes a practice associated with the event character or the scenario-specific character. For example, if the evaluation of the event character is high, the event may be likely to occur, or special training may be performed in which the experience points are increased.

  It should be noted that the event character is associated with a good practice, and when the main character is practicing together when the good practice is performed by the event character, the amount of increase in experience points is increased as compared with the normal case. Good. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 8, the event character (Yabe) 's specialty practice associated with the base running practice is base running practice, and if the main character practices base running in this state, the experience point is more than usual. The amount of increase increases. However, the event character is not always associated with the same practice item as the one's favorite practice, but may be associated with the exercise item different from the one's own practice.

  The practice image G400 also includes a logical point display area A450. In the logical point display area A450, the current value A4501 and the maximum value A4502 of the logical points are displayed. The logical point display area A450 includes a logical map button B4503. The logical map button B4503 is a button for displaying a logical map selection image (FIG. 10) described later.

  When any of the practice items is provisionally selected and the practice item is confirmed as a practice item to be performed by the hero character, the hero character performs the practice and a practice result image showing the practice result is displayed on the display unit 15. To be done.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the practice result image. As shown in FIG. 9, the upper area A510 and the lower area A520 of the practice result image G500 are similar to the upper area A310 and the lower area A320 of the main image G300.

  The practice result image G500 includes a text area A530. In the text area A530, text indicating the practice result of the main character is displayed. That is, the text indicating the change contents of various parameters due to the main character's practice is displayed in the text area A530. In the example of FIG. 9, the hero character has practiced a base running, so that the strength point is increased by 4 points, the agility point is increased by 15 points, the physical strength parameter is decreased by 25 points, and the base character is assigned to the base running practice. It is shown that the evaluation of the main character of the event character (Yabe) increased by 7 points, and the logical points (current value of the logical points) held by the user increased by 3 points.

  In addition, in each turn of the main part, an event related to the event character also occurs based on the predetermined probability information. For example, an event occurs in which the main character has a conversation with the event character or special training is performed with the event character. When an event occurs, experience points increase and physical strength increases.

  As described above, the user can acquire experience points and logical points by making the hero character practice. As described above, the user can generate the effect associated with the panel PN in the logical map LM by consuming the acquired logical points. For example, when the option P3403 in the main image G300 is selected, a logical map selection image for selecting the panel PN in the logical map LM is displayed on the display unit 15.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the logical map selection image. The overall layout of the logical map selection image G600 is the same as that of the logical map confirmation image G200 shown in FIG. 4, and the logical point display area A610, the logical map display area A620, and the panel detail display area A630 are respectively displayed as logical points. It is similar to the area A210, the logical map display area A220, and the panel detail display area A230. However, while the logical map confirmation image G200 is an image for confirming the logical map LM before the start of the main part, the logical map selection image G600 is displayed on the panel PN in the logical map LM during execution of the main part. The difference is that it is an image for generating the associated effect.

  For example, in the logical map selection image G600, the panel PN selectable by the user is displayed in a distinguishable manner. In the example of FIG. 10, the panel PN that the user can select is shown without a halftone dot, and the panel PN that the user cannot select is shown with a halftone dot. In the state of FIG. 10, the user can select the panels PN45, PN54, PN56, PN65 on the upper, lower, left and right sides of the start position panel PN55. That is, the panels PN other than the panels PN45, PN54, PN56, and PN65 on the left, right, top, and bottom of the start position panel PN55 cannot be selected at this moment, and will be selected in the future by selecting the panels PN one by one. Will be able to.

  When the user selects the panel PN, the effect and the point consumption amount associated with the panel PN are displayed in the panel detail display area A630. FIG. 10 shows a display example in the case where the panel PN54 (a panel displayed as “muscle strength” having an X coordinate value of 5 and a Y coordinate value of 4) is selected, and the panel detail display area A630 shows As the content of the effect, an increase amount of the muscular strength point and a logical point required to generate the effect are displayed.

  When the logical point owned by the user is equal to or more than the consumption amount displayed in the panel detail display area A630, the acquisition button B631 for selecting the panel PN is displayed in a selectable state. When the user selects the acquisition button B631, the selected panel PN can be selected to generate the effect. For example, in the example of FIG. 10, when the user selects the acquisition button B631, the effect of increasing the muscular strength points occurs, and the muscular strength points of the hero character increase by a predetermined value.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the logical map selection image G600 after the user selects the panel PN54. The example of FIG. 11 shows a case where a panel PN54 (a panel displayed as "muscle strength" having an X coordinate value of 5 and a Y coordinate value of 4) above the start position panel PN55 is selected. The logical map LM can identify which panel PN is selected, and in FIG. 11, the panel PN selected by the user is shown by diagonal lines. Further, as shown in the logical point display area A610, the logical points possessed by the user are reduced by 10 points necessary for selecting the panel PN.

  As described above, since the panels PN above, below, left and right of the selected panel PN can be selected, the panel PN54 selected by the user (X-coordinate value is 5 and Y-coordinate value is 4 is displayed as "muscular strength". Panels PN44, PN53, PN64 on the upper, lower, left and right sides of the panel) are in a selectable state. In other words, the panel PN around the panel PN selected by the user becomes selectable. In addition, for example, a panel PN within a predetermined distance from the panel PN selected by the user becomes selectable. Further, for example, the panel PN adjacent to the panel PN selected by the user is in a selectable state. Further, for example, the panel PN connected to the panel PN selected by the user is in a selectable state.

  In addition, the effect of increasing the ability parameter of the hero character, the effect of increasing the practice level of the hero character, the effect of increasing the physical strength or resilience of the hero character, the effect of increasing the evaluation of other characters to the hero character, or logical. Similarly, with respect to the panel PN associated with the effect of increasing the maximum value of points or the acquired amount, when the panel PN is selected, the effect can be generated by consuming the logical points.

  In addition, some of the panels PN are associated with effects that do not occur immediately but that occur when the hero character practices. For example, it has an effect of increasing the number of experience points acquired during practice, or an effect of reducing the probability of injury to 0%. In the present embodiment, the case where these effects are effective only in the turn in which the panel PN is selected will be described. However, it is sufficient that the effects are effective within a predetermined period, and the effects are effective within the following predetermined turns. Good.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the practice image G400 in the case where the effect of increasing the experience points acquired during execution of the base running practice occurs. As shown in FIG. 12, the option P4303 for running base practice is displayed in a display mode different from other options (shaded lines in FIG. 12), and it is notified that the effect occurs when the hero character performs running base practice. . In the experience point area A420, it is shown that a bonus is given to the experience points acquired when the practice item is executed. For example, the agility points that a hero character gains when he / she runs a base run is normally 15 points, but in the run base practice this time, a bonus of 20 points is given due to the effect of the panel PN selected in the logical map LM. The occurrence is shown in the experience point area A420.

  It should be noted that the effect that the probability of injury is 0% may be similarly notified in the practice image G400 that the effect is generated. For example, the practice image G400 may be displayed so that the probability of injury is 0% even though the hero character has few physical strength parameters.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to newly add a panel PN to the empty space in the logical map LM during the play of the main part. For example, an event of newly adding a panel PN occurs randomly in the main part.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing how the panel PN is added. In the example of FIG. 13, the position to which the panel PN can be added is shown by a frame without halftone dots, and the character string “addable” is shown inside the frame. As shown in FIG. 13, in the present embodiment, a new panel PN can be added at a position that is one square difference from the panels PN45, PN54, PN56, PN65 connected to the start position panel PN55. By adding a new panel PN, the user can connect a panel PN that was not connected to the start position panel PN55 via another panel PN to the start position panel PN55, or a panel located far from the start position panel PN55. It is possible to enable a shortcut to the PN.

  For example, the panel PN12 (a panel displayed as “shoulder boost” having an X coordinate value of 1 and a Y coordinate value of 2) is not connected to the start position panel PN55 via another panel PN, and thus the panel PN12. Although it cannot be selected by continuing to select, in the state of FIG. 13, a new panel PN is added to the position (area AR13) where the X coordinate value is 1 and the Y coordinate value is 3, Since the panel PN12 of “shoulder boost” is connected to the start position panel PN55, the state becomes selectable. The randomly added effect may be associated with the newly added panel PN, or the effect selected by the user may be associated therewith.

  As described above, the game system S according to the present embodiment is mainly configured to set the logical map LM based on the event deck set by the user, thereby making it possible to improve the interest of training in the game. Has become. Hereinafter, the details of the configuration will be described.

[3. Functions realized in game system]
FIG. 14 is a functional block diagram showing functions related to the present invention among the functions realized by the game system S. Here, the function realized by the server 30 and the function realized by the game terminal 10 will be described in order.

[3-1. Functions realized on the server]
As shown in FIG. 14, the database storage unit 300 is realized in the server 30. The database storage unit 300 is realized mainly by the storage unit 32. The database storage unit 300 comprehensively manages data related to the game and stores data necessary for each user to play the game. Here, as an example of the data stored in the database storage unit 300, the event character database DB1, the event deck database DB2, and the game situation database DB3 will be described.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a data storage example of the event character database DB1. As shown in FIG. 15, the event character database DB1 is a database relating to event characters held by each user, and, for example, user identification information and event character data DT1 are associated with each other. The user identification information is, for example, information for uniquely identifying the user. Here, the user ID will be described as an example of user identification information, but a user name, a mail address, or the like may correspond to an example of user identification information.

  The event character data DT1 indicates basic information of the event character held by the user. For example, the event character data DT1 stores an event character name, rarity, attribute, position, good practice, event content, bonus, ability parameter, and the like in association with an event character ID that uniquely identifies the event character. It

  The attribute is, for example, a role or a type of the event character, and here, whether the player is a player or a manager is indicated. As the contents of the event, the dialogue of the main character and the event character when the event occurs, the kind of experience point and the amount of change that may change depending on the event may be stored. The bonus may be a bonus of experience points when practiced together with the event character. The event character data DT1 is updated when the user newly obtains an event character.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a data storage example of the event deck database DB2. As shown in FIG. 16, the event deck database DB2 is a database relating to the event deck set by each user, and, for example, user identification information and event deck data DT2 are associated with each other.

  The event deck data DT2 indicates an event character incorporated in the event deck. For example, the event deck data DT2 stores the event character ID of the event character incorporated in the event deck in association with the event deck ID that uniquely identifies the event deck. For example, the user can register a plurality of event decks, and the event character ID of the incorporated event character is stored for each event deck.

  Since the sixth event character incorporated in the event deck of each user is incorporated with the event character of another user as an assistant, for example, the user ID of the other user may be stored. . In addition, for example, each time the event character is given to the user, if an ID that uniquely identifies the event character in the entire game system S is issued, the ID is stored in the event deck data DT2. It may be stored. The event deck data DT2 is updated when the user performs an operation for editing the event deck.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a data storage example of the game situation database DB3. As shown in FIG. 17, the game situation database DB3 is a database relating to the situation of the game of each user, and, for example, user identification information and game situation data DT3 are associated with each other.

  The game situation data DT3 is data indicating the situation of the success part being executed. For example, in the game situation data DT3, a scenario ID for uniquely identifying a scenario, a current section, a current turn, basic information of a main character, a current experience point, a current ability parameter, a special ability, and an event deck in use. The event deck ID, the current evaluation of the event character and the scenario-specific character, the current value and the maximum value of the logical points, and the logical map information are stored.

  The logical map information is an example of effect data according to the present invention. The logical map information stores, for example, the position of the panel PN, the content of the effect, the consumed logical points, and the selection status of the panel PN. The position of the panel PN is an arrangement position (display position) of the panel PN in the logical map LM. For example, in the present embodiment, it is indicated by two-dimensional coordinates, but when the logical map LM is expressed in a three-dimensional space. May be represented in three-dimensional coordinates. The selection status of the panel PN is information indicating whether the panel PN has been selected, and can also be referred to as information indicating whether or not the effect associated with the panel PN has occurred.

  The data stored in the database storage unit 300 is not limited to the above example. The database storage unit 300 may store data necessary for the game. For example, the database storage unit 300 may store a master database of event characters. Further, for example, the database storage unit 300 may store image data of an image displayed on the game terminal 10.

[3-2. Functions realized on game terminals]
As shown in FIG. 14, in the game terminal 10, the data storage unit 100, the use target selection operation reception unit 101, the setting unit 102, the display control unit 103, the effect selection operation reception unit 104, the effect generation unit 105, the process execution unit. 106 and the maximum value changing unit 107 are realized.

[3-2-1. Data storage]
The data storage unit 100 is realized mainly by the storage unit 12. The data storage unit 100 stores data necessary for executing a game. Here, as an example of the data stored in the data storage unit 100, the event character data DT1, the event deck data DT2, and the game situation data DT3 will be described.

  The data formats of the event character data DT1, the event deck data DT2, and the game situation data DT3 are the same as those stored in the database storage unit 300 of the server 30. However, since the data storage unit 100 does not need to store data other than the user of the game terminal 10, the user identification of the user of the game terminal 10 among the event character database DB1, the event deck database DB2, and the game situation database DB3. The event character data DT1, the event deck data DT2, and the game situation data DT3 associated with the information are stored.

  For example, between the game terminal 10 and the server 30, the consistency of the event character data DT1, the event deck data DT2, and the game situation data DT3 with the event character database DB1, the event deck database DB2, and the game situation database DB3. Has been taken. For example, when the game terminal 10 updates the event character data DT1, the game terminal 10 transmits the updated event character data DT1 to the server 30 together with the user identification information. Note that the user identification information is stored in the data storage unit 100. The server 30 associates the received user identification information with the received event character data DT1 and stores them in the event character database DB1.

  On the other hand, when the server 30 updates the event character data DT1, the server 30 transmits the event character data DT1 to the game terminal 10 indicated by the user identification information associated with the event character data DT1. The game terminal 10 records the received event character data DT1 in the data storage unit 100. Similarly, the event deck data DT2 and the game situation data DT3 are also consistent between the game terminal 10 and the server 30.

  The data stored in the data storage unit 100 is not limited to the above example. The data storage unit 100 may store data necessary for the game. For example, the data storage unit 100 may store image data of an image displayed on the game terminal 10.

[3-2-2. Operation target selection operation reception part]
The use target selection operation receiving unit 101 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The usage target selection operation receiving unit 101 receives a usage target selection operation for selecting a usage target from a plurality of event characters in a game that improves the performance of the main character. The operation target selection operation may be any operation that can be input from the operation unit 14, and is, for example, an operation on a screen on which a plurality of event characters are displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the event character being incorporated into the event deck corresponds to the usage target, so the operation for selecting the event character to be incorporated into the event deck from among the event characters held by the user is This corresponds to an example of the target selection operation. For example, when the user performs a predetermined operation on the event deck setting area A110 of the main image G300 (for example, an operation on the setting frame display area A111), a list of event characters owned by the user is displayed on the display unit 15, An event character to be incorporated in the event deck is selected from the list. The use target selection operation reception unit 101 receives the use target selection operation by receiving the selection of the event character displayed in the list.

  Further, for example, in the present embodiment, since the event character owned by another user can be incorporated in the event deck as a helper, the usage target selection operation selects a usage target from the event characters owned by another user. It can be said that it is an operation for. The other user who holds the event character that is a candidate for use may be randomly selected or may be selected from another user who has a friendship with the user.

[3-2-3. Setting section]
The setting unit 102 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The setting unit 102 sets logical map information indicating each of a plurality of effects for changing one or a plurality of parameters related to the performance of the main character. The setting unit 102 sets the logical map information based on the event character selected by the use target selection operation. For example, the setting unit 102 determines the number of panels PN, the arrangement position of the panels PN, and the content of the effect based on the event character incorporated in the event deck. In other words, the setting unit 102 sets an image in which a plurality of panels PN corresponding to a plurality of effects are arranged.

  It is assumed that the data indicating the relationship between the event character incorporated in the event deck, the number of panels PN, the arrangement position of the panels PN, and the contents of effects is stored in the data storage unit 100 in advance. This relationship may be defined in a mathematical expression format or a table format, or may be described as a part of the program code. The setting unit 102 sets the logical map information such that the number of panels PN associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck, the arrangement position of the panels PN, and the contents of the effect are set.

  For example, the setting unit 102 sets the logical map information based on the parameters of the event character (event character incorporated in the event deck) selected by the use target selection operation. The parameter of the event character may be any parameter stored in the event character data DT1, and may be, for example, rarity, attribute, position, good practice, event type, bonus, or ability parameter.

  For example, the setting unit 102 determines the distribution of each type among a plurality of types based on the practicing skill of the event character incorporated in the event deck. In the present embodiment, the effects are classified into a plurality of types, and there are, for example, four types of effects: an effect related to muscle strength points, an effect related to agility points or changing ball points, an effect related to technical points, and an effect related to mental points. The setting unit 102 determines the number of panels PN for each of these four types of effects, based on the practicing practice of the event character.

  For example, in the setting unit 102, as the number of event characters for a particular practicing practice (for example, batting practice) increases, the number of panel PNs for the effects related to experience points (for example, technical points) that can be increased in the practicing for special practice increases. To determine the allocation. That is, the more the practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck is biased, the setting unit 102 biases the effect indicated by each panel PN toward a specific effect, and the practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck is practiced. The more balanced the above, the more effectively the effects exhibited by each panel PN will be balanced. The setting unit 102 determines the arrangement position of each panel PN and the content of the effect so that the distribution determined as described above is set, and sets each panel PN in the logical map LM.

  FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram of a setting method of each panel PN in the logical map LM. Note that in FIG. 18, the distance from the start position panel PN55 is shown by numerical values. The distance here is a numerical value indicating how many spaces are separated from the start position panel PN55. The area AR that does not show a numerical value is an area in which the panel PN is initially arranged based on the ability parameter of the event character.

  In the present embodiment, the setting unit 102 arranges the panel PN in the logical map LM so that the panel PN showing the effect of the predetermined content is arranged at the predetermined position in the logical map LM. For example, the panel PN showing the effect on the muscle strength point is arranged on the upper side of the logical map LM (inside the area AU indicated by a halftone dot in FIG. 18). Further, for example, the panel PN showing the effect regarding the mental point is arranged on the left side of the logical map LM (in the area AL indicated by the vertical line in FIG. 18). Further, for example, the panel PN indicating the effect on the agility point is arranged on the right side of the logical map LM (inside the area AR indicated by the horizontal line in FIG. 18). Further, for example, the panel PN showing the effect related to the technical point is arranged on the lower side of the logical map LM (inside the area AD indicated by hatching in FIG. 18).

  Further, for example, the setting unit 102 may determine the content of the effect based on the ability parameter of the event character. For example, the setting unit 102 may arrange the panel PN having a strong effect farther from the start position panel PN55 as the ability parameter of the event character is higher. Further, for example, the setting unit 102 may determine the content of the effect based on the rarity of the event character. For example, the setting unit 102 may arrange the panel PN having a strong effect farther from the start position panel PN55 as the event character has higher rarity.

  The setting unit 102 may determine the content of the effect based on the parameters of the main character. For example, the setting unit 102 may make the content of the effect different depending on whether the main character is a pitcher or a fielder. Alternatively, for example, the setting unit 102 may increase the number of panels PN when a specific event character is incorporated in the event deck. Further, for example, for the event character (for example, a manager) for which no good practice is set, the setting unit 102 may virtually assign any good practice and then determine the content of the effect.

  In the game of the present embodiment, since a plurality of event characters can be selected as usage targets, the setting unit 102 specifies the event characters selected by the usage target selection operation when a specific combination of event characters is included. You may make it set the specific effect matched with the combination of these in the logical map information.

  It is assumed that the data indicating the relationship between the specific combination and the specific effect is stored in the data storage unit 100 in advance. This relationship may be defined in a mathematical expression format or a table format, or may be described as a part of the program code. The setting unit 102 sets the logical map information such that the number of panels PN associated with the combination of event characters incorporated in the event deck, the arrangement position of the panels PN, and the content of the effect are set. Note that the specific effect may be the same as that of another panel PN, or may be a special effect such as learning "knacks" with which the main character can easily acquire a special ability.

  Further, for example, the setting unit 102 may set the effect of increasing the maximum value of the logical points in the logical map information. That is, the setting unit 102 may arrange the panel PN associated with the effect of increasing the maximum value of the logical points in the logical map LM. The setting unit 102 may determine the increase amount of the maximum value of the logical points based on the event character or randomly.

  Further, for example, in the effect selecting operation of the present embodiment, a panel PN within a predetermined distance from the selected panel PN can be selected, so the setting unit 102 sets at least one panel PN of the plurality of panels PN to the effect. You may make it set to the restricted state in which the contents are not displayed.

  The predetermined distance may be a predetermined distance, and in the present embodiment, it is one square (a unit distance in the X axis-Y axis coordinate system). The restricted state is, for example, a state in which the content of the effect is not fixed, or a state in which the content of the effect is fixed but the content is hidden. When the content of the effect is not fixed, the content of the effect may be determined based on a predetermined condition, for example, the effect may be randomly determined, or the effect may be determined based on a user operation. You may decide.

  Further, for example, when the panel PN within a predetermined distance of the restricted panel PN is selected by the effect selecting operation, the setting unit 102 displays the effect associated with the restricted panel PN. You may do it. The state in which the effect is displayed is a state in which the content of the effect is confirmed and the content is displayed. For example, when the panel PN within a predetermined distance of the restricted panel PN is selected by the effect selection operation, the setting unit 102 may randomly determine the effect associated with the restricted panel PN. However, an effect whose content has been determined in advance may be displayed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the effect selecting operation, it is possible to select a panel PN within a predetermined distance from the selectable panel PN, and among the plurality of panels PN, the panel PN in which the selectable panel PN is not within the predetermined distance. (For example, the panel PN12 of “shoulder boost” in which the X coordinate value is 1 and the Y coordinate value is 2 in FIG. 4) is included, the setting unit 102 can select based on the progress of the game. A new effect may be added to the logical map information so that the selectable panel PN is added within a predetermined distance of the panel PN that is not within the predetermined distance. The selectable panel PN is a panel PN that satisfies a predetermined condition, for example, a panel PN within a predetermined distance of the selected panel PN or a panel PN within a predetermined distance of the panel PN.

[3-2-4. Display controller]
The display control unit 103 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The display control unit 103 causes the display unit 15 to display a plurality of panels PN respectively corresponding to a plurality of effects based on the logical map information. The panel PN is an example of the effect object according to the present invention.

  The effect object is, for example, an object displayed to generate an effect. For example, the effect object is a panel, a square, an index, an icon, or the like. For example, the effect object is displayed at a predetermined position on the screen. Therefore, the effect object is displayed at each of the plurality of positions on the screen. The arrangement position (display position) of the effect object is stored in the effect data (logical map information in this embodiment). For example, the effect object is arranged in the screen or the virtual world. For example, the effect objects are arranged in the map, the virtual world, and the tree. The virtual world may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional. The map may be a grid-shaped map or may be a map that is not particularly divided. The tree may be a tree including nodes associated with effects.

  In the present embodiment, the display control unit 103 arranges the panel PN in the logical map LM based on the panel position of each panel PN stored in the logical map information. Then, the display control unit 103 determines the display mode of the panel PN based on the content of the effect of each panel PN stored in the logical map information. For example, the display control unit 103 determines a character string or icon of each panel PN so as to show the content of the effect.

  In the present embodiment, the display control unit 103 causes the display unit 15 to display the plurality of panels PN before the event character selected by the use target selection operation is confirmed as the use target. Determining means, for example, determining the temporarily selected use target as the use target. For example, the display control unit 103 causes the display unit 15 to display the logical map confirmation image G200 before the main part of the success part is started (that is, during the prepart). That is, the display control unit 103 causes the display unit 15 to display the logical map confirmation image G200 during the period in which the content of the event deck can be changed.

[3-2-5. Effect selection operation reception part]
The effect selection operation receiving unit 104 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The effect selection operation receiving unit 104 receives an effect selection operation for selecting one of the plurality of panels PN. The effect selection operation may be any operation that can be input from the operation unit 14, and is, for example, an operation on a screen on which a plurality of panels PN are displayed. In the present embodiment, the effect selection operation is an operation for selecting the panel PN displayed in the logical map selection image G600. In other words, the effect selection operation is an operation for designating the position in the screen where the panel PN is displayed.

[3-2-6. Effect generation part]
The effect generator 105 is implemented mainly by the controller 11. The effect generator 105 generates an effect associated with the panel PN selected by the effect selecting operation. To generate an effect means to increase the amount of change in a parameter relating to the performance of the main character, for example. The effect generation unit 105 increases the amount of increase in the experience points of the main character as compared to when the effect does not occur.

  In the present embodiment, the effect generation unit 105 consumes the points owned by the user to generate an effect associated with the panel PN selected by the effect selection operation. For example, the effect generating unit 105 generates an effect associated with the panel PN selected by the effect selecting operation in exchange for consuming the points owned by the user. That is, the effect generation unit 105 generates an effect associated with the panel PN selected by the effect selection operation, on condition that the points owned by the user are consumed.

  In the present embodiment, since the consumption amount of the logical points for generating the effect associated with the panel PN is different for each panel PN, the effect generation unit 105 corresponds to the panel PN selected by the effect selecting operation. Make logical points be consumed based on the amount of consumption. The consumption amount is, for example, a reduction amount of the logical points when the effect occurs, and is an amount that the logical points decrease in exchange for the occurrence of the effect. The consumption amount of the logical points may be determined by the setting unit 102 based on a predetermined method. For example, as the effect becomes stronger, the consumption amount of logical points may be increased.

  For example, the effect generation unit 105 specifies the consumed logical points of the panel PN selected by the effect selection operation based on the logical map information stored in the game situation data DT3. Then, if the current value of the logical points stored in the game situation data DT3 is equal to or more than the consumed logical points, the effect generation unit 105 consumes the logical points owned by the user, and is selected by the effect selecting operation. An effect associated with the panel PN is generated.

[3-2-7. Process execution part]
The process execution unit 106 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The process executing unit 106 executes a process for changing one or more parameters of the main character based on the parameters of the event character selected by the use target selection operation. The process may be different from the process that produces the effect by selecting the panel PN. For example, the process executing unit 106 determines the amount of change in the experience points of the main character based on the parameters of the event character incorporated in the event deck. Further, for example, the process execution unit 106 causes an event in which the experience points of the main character change, based on the event character incorporated in the event deck.

[3-2-8. Maximum value change part]
The maximum value changing unit 107 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. The maximum value changing unit 107 changes the maximum value of the logical points that the user can hold based on the progress of the game. The change here is to increase or decrease the maximum value.

  It is assumed that the data indicating the relationship between the progress of the game and the maximum value of logical points is stored in the data storage unit 100 in advance. This relationship may be defined in a mathematical expression format or a table format, or may be described as a part of the program code. The setting unit 102 sets the maximum value associated with the progress of the game.

  For example, the maximum value changing unit 107 changes the maximum value of logical points when a predetermined event occurs in the game. Further, for example, the maximum value changing unit 107 changes the maximum value of the logical points when the user performs a predetermined operation in the game. Further, for example, the maximum value changing unit 107 changes the maximum value of the logical points when a predetermined parameter changes in the game. Further, for example, the maximum value changing unit 107 changes the maximum value of the logical points when a predetermined time point has arrived in the game.

  Further, for example, when the setting unit 102 sets an effect such that the amount of consumption of points is the first value in the logical map information, the maximum value changing unit 107 causes the maximum value of the logical points to be less than the first value. The initial value may be set to, and the maximum value may be increased to a value equal to or larger than the first value based on the progress of the game. The first value is the consumption amount of logical points for selecting a predetermined panel PN. For example, the maximum value changing unit 107 may set the initial setting of the maximum value of the logical points to a fixed value, or may determine it based on the event character incorporated in the event deck. The maximum value changing unit 107 initializes the maximum value of the logical points so that there is a panel PN that cannot be selected with the initial value of the maximum value of the logical points.

  Further, for example, the maximum value changing unit 107 consumes the points held by the user when the effect of increasing the maximum value is associated with the panel PN selected by the effect selecting operation, and thereby the maximum value is changed. You may make it increase. The maximum value changing unit 107 increases the maximum value of the logical points when the panel PN associated with the effect of increasing the maximum value of the logical points is selected.

[4. Processing executed in game system]
Next, the processing executed in the game system S will be described. Here, of the processes executed in the game system S, an event deck setting process for setting an event deck in the prepart and a main part process when the main image G300 is displayed in the main part will be described. . In this embodiment, a case where these processes are executed in the game terminal 10 will be described.

[4-1. Event deck setting process]
FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing an example of the event deck setting process. The process shown in FIG. 19 is executed by the control unit 11 operating according to a program stored in the storage unit 12 when the user performs a predetermined operation for starting the success part. The following processing is an example of processing by each functional block shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 19, first, the control unit 11 displays the event deck setting image G100 on the display unit 15 based on the event deck data DT2 (S101). In S101, the control unit 11 refers to the event deck data DT2 to identify the event character incorporated in the event deck. Then, the control unit 11 displays the image of the identified event character in the event deck setting area A110.

  The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S103). Here, it is assumed that any one of an operation target selection operation for selecting an event character to be incorporated in the event deck, an operation for selecting the logical map confirmation button B120, or an operation for confirming the event deck is performed.

  When the user performs a use target selecting operation (S103; use target selecting operation), the control unit 11 executes event deck setting processing (S105). In S105, for example, the control unit 11 displays a list of event characters owned by the user based on the event character data DT1, and incorporates the event character selected from the list into the event deck. In addition, for example, the control unit 11 transmits a request for acquiring an event character of another user to the server 30, displays a list of event characters of another user, and selects the event character selected from the list as an event deck. Built in.

  The control unit 11 updates the logical map information of the game situation data DT3 based on the event deck set in S105 (S107), and returns to the process of S101. In S107, the control unit 11 determines the number of panel PNs, the arrangement position, the content of the effect, and the logical point consumption amount based on the event character incorporated in the event deck, and updates the logical map information.

  When the user selects the logical map confirmation button B120 in S103 (S103; logical map confirmation button), the control unit 11 displays the logical map confirmation image G200 based on the game situation data DT3 (S109). The control unit 11 determines the display content of the logical point display area A210 based on the logical points stored in the game situation data DT3. Then, the control unit 11 determines the display content of the logical map display area A220 based on the panel position and the content of the effect stored in the game situation data DT3.

  The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S111). Here, it is assumed that a detail display operation for selecting each panel PN to display details or an operation for returning to the event deck setting image G100 is performed.

  When the user performs the detailed display operation (S113; detailed display operation), the control unit 11 updates the display of the panel detailed display area A230 based on the logical map information of the game situation data DT3 (S113). In S113, the control unit 11 specifies the effect content of the panel PN selected by the detail display operation and the consumption logical point, and determines the display content of the panel detail display area A230. On the other hand, when the user performs an operation for returning to the event deck setting image G100 (S111; return), the processing returns to S101.

  On the other hand, in S103, when the user performs an operation for finalizing the event deck (S103; finalizing operation), the control unit 11 starts the main part of the success parts (S115), and this processing ends. In S115, the content of the logical map LM is fixed.

[4-2. Main part processing]
FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an example of the main part process. The process illustrated in FIG. 20 is executed by the control unit 11 operating according to the program stored in the storage unit 12 when the main image G300 is displayed in the main part (for example, at the start of each turn). The following processing is an example of processing by each functional block shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the main image G300 based on the game situation data DT3 (S201). In S201, the control unit 11 determines the display content of the main image G300 based on each information stored in the game situation data DT3.

  The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S203). Here, it is assumed that an operation for selecting any of the options P3401 to P3407 is performed.

  When the user selects the option P3402 (S203; practice), the control unit 11 displays the practice image G400 on the display unit 15 based on the game situation data DT3 (S205). In S205, the control unit 11 determines the display content of the practice image G400 based on each information stored in the game situation data DT3.

  The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S207). Here, either the operation of selecting any of the options P4301 to P4306 or the operation of returning to the main image G300 is performed.

  When the user selects any one of the options P4301 to P4306 (S207; practice item), the control unit 11 performs practice of the main character (S209) and displays the practice result image G500 on the display unit 15 (S211). , This process ends. In S209, the control unit 11 increases the experience points and the logical points of the main character based on the practice item indicated by the option selected by the user among the options P4301 to P4306, and decreases the physical strength parameter. If the experience points have the effect of increasing the experience points, a bonus is given to the experience points.

  In S209, the control unit 11 determines whether the main character is injured, based on a predetermined probability. When it is determined that the main character is injured, an event occurs in which the main character is injured. In this case, the experience points and logical points of the main character may not be increased. On the other hand, when the user performs an operation for returning to the main image G300 (S207; return), the processing returns to S201.

  On the other hand, when the user selects the option P3403 in S203 (S203; logical map LM), the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the logical map selection image G600 based on the game situation data DT3 (S213). In S213, the control unit 11 determines the display content of the logical point display area A610 based on the logical points stored in the game situation data DT3. Then, the control unit 11 determines the display content of the logical map display area A620 based on the panel position and the content of the effect stored in the game situation data DT3.

  The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the detection signal of the operation unit 14 (S215). Here, either the operation of selecting each panel PN, the operation of selecting the acquisition button B631 or the operation of returning to the main image G300 is performed.

  When the user selects the panel PN (S215; panel selection), the control unit 11 displays the details of the panel PN selected by the user in the panel details display area A630 based on the game situation data DT3 (S217). In S217, the control unit 11 identifies the effect content and the consumption logical point of the panel PN selected by the detail display operation, and determines the display content of the panel detail display area A630.

  When the user operates to select the acquisition button B631 (S215; acquisition button), the control unit 11 consumes the logical points to generate the effect associated with the selected panel PN (S219). In S219, the control unit 11 identifies the consumption amount of the logical points associated with the selected panel PN. Then, the control unit 11 reduces the logical points by the consumption amount and causes the effect associated with the panel PN. When the panel PN indicated as “random” is arranged above, below, to the left and right of the panel PN, the effect content of the panel PN is randomly determined at this point. On the other hand, when the user performs an operation for returning to the main image G300 (S215; return), the processing returns to S201.

  When the user selects option P3404 (S203; ability), the control unit 11 executes processing for increasing the ability parameter based on the game situation data DT3 (S221), and returns to the processing of S201. In S221, the control unit 11 increases the ability parameter or acquires the special ability by consuming experience points based on the operation of the user.

  When the user selects any one of the options P3404 to P3407 (S203; other), the control unit 11 executes the process according to the command selected by the user (S223), and this process ends. In S223, for example, the control unit 11 causes an event in which the hero character rests to increase the physical strength parameter. Further, for example, the control unit 11 causes an event in which the main character goes to the hospital to treat an injury or illness. Further, for example, the control unit 11 causes an event in which the main character plays, and increases the motivation parameter. Further, for example, the control unit 11 causes an event in which the main character takes data, and increases the motivation parameter.

  According to the game system S described above, the logical map information is set based on the event character that is incorporated in the event deck and is selected as a usage target, and the content of the logical map information is not fixed and changes depending on the usage target. Therefore, the training can be changed, and the fun of the training in the game can be sufficiently improved.

  Further, by displaying the logical map confirmation image G200, the user can confirm the content of the logical map information before the event character to be used is confirmed. The user can select the event character to be used so that the logical map information matches the training policy of the user.

  Further, based on the parameter of the event character to be used, two processes are executed, a process for changing the parameter of the main character and a process for setting the logical map information, and the parameter of the main character is directly The user can be made to consider whether to select an event character that has a physical effect or to select an event character that has an effect on the effect indicated by the logical map information (an event character that indirectly affects the development of the main character). , The interest of training in the game can be effectively improved.

  Further, when a predetermined combination of event characters is selected as a target for use, a specific effect can be generated, and by allowing the user to try a combination of event characters for generating the specific effect, the training in the game can be improved. The interest can be effectively improved.

  Further, since the consumption of the logical points owned by the user is a condition for generating the effect, it is possible to prevent the effect from occurring too much and prevent the game from becoming too simple.

  Further, since the consumption amount of the logical points varies depending on the panel PN, and the relationship between the consumption amount of the logical points and the effect changes, it is possible to make the user think which panel PN should be selected, and the strategic nature of the game. Can be improved.

  In addition, the maximum number of logical points that the user can hold is changed based on the progress of the game.For example, a position that cannot be selected unless the maximum number of logical points increases as the game progresses, or the maximum number of logical points can be set. Since it is possible to limit the occurrence of effects by gradually reducing the value, it is possible to effectively improve the interest of training in the game.

  In addition, an effect that cannot be generated unless the maximum value of logical points is increased as the game progresses can be set, and the user can be motivated to increase the maximum value of logical points. The sex can be effectively improved.

  In addition, by preparing an effect that increases the maximum value of the logical points, the user is asked whether to preferentially select a position where the effect occurs or a position where another effect occurs. Therefore, it is possible to effectively improve the interest of training in the game.

  Further, by randomly determining the type of effect and not knowing which type of effect will occur, it is possible to effectively improve the interest of the training in the game.

  In addition, a new position is added to the logical map information so that the selectable panel PN is added within a predetermined distance of the panel PN that does not have the selectable panel PN within the predetermined distance. Since the panel PN is changed to a selectable state, it is possible to effectively improve the interest of training in the game.

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

  (1) For example, in the embodiment, when the panel PN arranged on the logical map LM is selected, the effect that the breeding of the hero character is advantageous occurs, but the effect object to which the effect is associated is , Panel PN. Besides, for example, the effect may be associated with a so-called mass or node.

  Further, for example, in the embodiment, the logical map LM can be confirmed before the event deck is confirmed, but the event deck may be confirmed without particularly confirming the logical map LM. Further, for example, although the event character has been described as an example of the second object, the second object does not have to be the event character that is advantageous for raising the main character, and may be a game item or the like. Further, for example, the case where the specific effect occurs when the combination of the specific event characters is incorporated into the event deck has been described, but such a specific effect may not particularly occur.

  Further, for example, the case where the effect occurs by consuming the logical points has been described, but an effect that occurs without consuming the logical points may exist. Further, for example, the case where the consumption amount of the logical points for selecting each panel PN is different has been described, but the logical points consumed by all the panels PN may be common. Further, for example, the maximum value of the logical points may be a fixed value and may not change according to the progress of the game.

  Further, for example, the panel PN that requires more logical points than the initial value of the maximum value of the logical points may be omitted. Further, for example, the panel PN associated with the effect of increasing the maximum value of the logical points may not exist. Further, for example, the case where the panel PN within 1 square from the selected panel PN can be selected has been described, but such a limitation may not be provided.

  (2) In addition, for example, in the technique of Patent Document 1 described in the related art, the maximum value of the parameter consumed for selecting a square arranged on a predetermined route in the map is a fixed value, and changes to the game. The user could easily get tired of the game. In this regard, in the game system S, the maximum value changing unit 107 is configured to change the maximum value of the logical points based on the progress of the game, so that the interest of the game can be enhanced. The method of changing the maximum value of the logical points is as described in the embodiment. In this case, the content of the logical map LM may not change depending on the event deck.

  (3) Further, for example, in the technique of Patent Document 1 described in the related art, the effect of selecting a square located on a predetermined route in the map is permanently generated thereafter, and the effect becomes monotonous. Was easy to get tired of games. In this respect, in the game system S, by arranging the panel PN to which the effect effective only within a certain specific period is associated in the logical map LM, it is possible to consider when and at which timing the effect should be generated. Since it is configured, it is possible to enhance the strategic nature of the game. The period may be a period determined based on the time when the panel PN is selected, may be a period after a predetermined time from the time, or the panel PN is selected as described in the embodiment. It may be only one turn or a few turns thereafter. In this case, the content of the logical map LM may not change depending on the event deck.

  (4) In addition, for example, in the technique of Patent Document 1 described in the related art, since the cells are selected by consuming the points acquired in the battle, the acquisition of points becomes like work, and the game is monotonous. It tended to be. In this respect, since the game system S is configured to increase the logical points when the command is executed, it is possible to enhance the strategic nature of the game. In other words, by letting the user consider whether to prioritize the acquisition of logical points to select a command or prioritize the acquisition of experience points to select a command, it is possible to enhance the strategic nature of the game. In this case, the content of the logical map LM may not change depending on the event deck.

  (5) Further, for example, in the technique of Patent Document 1 described in the related art, the effect of the squares arranged on the predetermined route in the map is fixed, and the game tends to be monotonous. In this respect, in the game system S, since the panel PN whose effect is determined randomly is arranged, the fun of the game can be enhanced. As described in the embodiment, the effect of the panel PN may be randomly determined from a plurality of effects. In this case, the content of the logical map LM may not change depending on the event deck.

  (6) Further, for example, in the technique of Patent Document 1 described in the conventional technique, the effect of the squares arranged on the predetermined route in the map is fixed, and the game tends to be monotonous. In this respect, in the game system S, the panel PN that can be reached is set by adding the panel PN, so that the fun of the game can be enhanced. In this case, the content of the logical map LM may not change depending on the event deck.

  (7) Further, for example, in the technique of Patent Document 1 described in the related art, selecting a square arranged on a predetermined route in the map only produces an effect, and the game tends to be monotonous. . In this respect, the game system S is configured such that, in the game system S, each practice item is associated with points of two different characteristics such as experience points and logical points, so that the interest of the game is enhanced. You can In this case, the content of the logical map LM may not change depending on the event deck.

  The experience point is a point for increasing the ability parameter of the main character, and can be said to be a point having the first attribute. On the other hand, the logical point is a point for generating a predetermined effect, and can be said to be a point having a second attribute for increasing the point of the first attribute. As described above, the interest of the game may be enhanced by associating each command with the point of the first attribute and the point of the second attribute. That is, both of these points associated with the command selected by the user are given, and the points of the first attribute are used to increase the points of the first attribute to enhance the fun of the game. You may In this case, the content of the logical map LM may not change depending on the event deck.

  In the modified example (7), the game system S receives a selection from the plurality of commands by the user, executes a process for raising the main character based on the command selected by the user, and associates it with the command. The point of the first attribute and the point of the second attribute thus obtained are given to the user. Then, the game system S increases the points of the first attribute by consuming the points of the second attribute. By adopting such a configuration, whether the command is selected by emphasizing the point of the first attribute or the command by emphasizing the point of the second attribute, the point of the first attribute and the It is possible to improve the fun of the game by making the user think of whether to select a command in which the two attributes are balanced.

  (8) Further, for example, each function realized in the game terminal 10 may be realized in the server 30. For example, the main processing of the game may be executed in the server 30. In this case, the server 30 corresponds to the game control device according to the present invention. For example, when the usage target selection operation reception unit 101, the setting unit 102, the display control unit 103, the effect selection operation reception unit 104, the effect generation unit 105, the process execution unit 106, and the maximum value change unit 107 are realized by the server 30. , And these are realized mainly by the control unit 31.

  In this case, the game terminal 10 receives the image data from the server 30 and displays each image on the display unit 15. In addition, the game terminal 10 transmits data indicating the instruction received by the operation unit 14 to the server 30. By receiving the data, the server 30 may specify the user's instruction and execute the game. Further, for example, each function may be shared between the game terminal 10 and the server 30. In this case, the processing result of each functional block may be transmitted and received between the game terminal 10 and the server 30.

  In addition, for example, when the main processing of the game is executed by the server 30, only the setting unit 102 is realized in the game terminal 10, and the setting unit 102 sets the main character of the main character in the game in which the performance of the main character is improved. Effect data indicating each of a plurality of effects for changing one or a plurality of parameters related to performance may be set. In this case, since each of the plurality of effects occurs when the corresponding panel PN is selected, the setting unit 102 sets the logical value based on the event character selected from among the plurality of event characters to be used. Map information may be set.

  Further, for example, the case where the baseball game is executed has been described, but the process according to the present invention may be applied to another game. For example, the processing according to the present invention may be applied to a sports game other than a baseball game (for example, a game using soccer, tennis, American football, basketball, volleyball, etc. as its subject). Further, for example, the processing according to the present invention may be applied to various games regardless of the game format and genre, such as action games and role playing games, in addition to sports games and training games.
