<Game outline>
The game according to the first embodiment includes a lottery game that allows a player to acquire a character as an example of content, and a quest. This lottery game is sometimes referred to as gacha, fluffy, summoning, etc. This quest is sometimes referred to as a battle game, dungeon, exploration, mission, etc.

In the first embodiment, one or a plurality of types of lottery games exist, each of which is given a different name (title). The lottery game can be selected by the player on the menu screen or the like of the lottery game. In the first embodiment, when one lottery game is selected by the player from one or a plurality of kinds of lottery games, a single-shot lottery in which the one lottery game is executed once or a continuous lottery in which the lottery game is continuously executed 10 times is performed. A selectable screen is displayed. This single-shot lottery may be referred to as a single gacha, one-time snoring, one-time summoning, etc. In addition, this continuous lottery may be referred to as 10 consecutive gachas, 10 times snoring, 10 times summoning, etc. Then, based on the execution instruction (request) of the one-shot lottery or the continuous lottery from the player, the player randomly selects a character from the lottery target character group (lottery target content group) corresponding to the one lottery game. To get. This lottery game is executed based on the consumption of consideration. This consideration is consumed more in continuous lottery than in single-shot lottery. Examples of this consideration include paid items (billed items) and free items (non-billed items). The paid item is an item that the player can obtain through a purchase procedure (payment of cash or electronic money, credit card settlement, etc.). Examples of the paid item include a paid stone, a paid gacha ticket, and a paid coin. The free item is an item that can be acquired by the player through game play (execution of various games). For example, free items can be acquired as rewards for login, clearing quests, completing missions, interacting with friends, and the like. Examples of this free item include a free stone, a free gacha ticket, a stamina recovery item, a game coin, and friend points. The paid items and the free items can be used for various purposes such as recovery of stamina and continuation of quests as well as execution of the lottery game. Paid items are more valuable than free items. For example, in a lottery game that can be executed by consuming only paid items, a character having higher rarity (rare value) is easier to acquire than in a lottery game that can be executed by consuming free items. Paid stones and gratuitous stones are sometimes called "stones".

Further, in the first embodiment, the player is made to acquire points accumulated in common in each type of lottery game. These points are accumulated, for example, when a character other than the specific character (specific content) is selected in the lottery game. Note that this point may be any number that can be used in the game, and may be the number of game items, for example. Then, when the accumulated number of points reaches a predetermined number, the items consumed in the lottery are returned to the player.

Further, in the first embodiment, one or a plurality of types of quests exist, and different names (titles) are given to each. The quest can be selected by the player on the quest menu screen or the like. In the first embodiment, the one quest is executed based on an operation instruction (request) for the player to select one quest from among one or more types of quests. This quest is executed based on the consumption stamina value associated with the quest being consumed from the player's current stamina value. If the stamina associated with the quest is larger than the stamina associated with the player, the player cannot execute (play) the quest. This stamina may also be called life, action point (AP), battle point (BP), or the like. The player's current stamina value may be consumed at the end of the quest (at the time of clearing or retiring).

Further, in the first embodiment, a quest is performed in which the player character has a team composed of one or more characters (owned characters) and an enemy character. In this quest, for example, the player gives an instruction to a character (character in the team) forming a team to attack. In addition, in this quest, the player aims to set the hit points of the enemy character to 0 or less by using the ability parameters and skills possessed by the respective characters in the team. When the quest is cleared, the player obtains clear rewards such as gratuitous stones, game coins, characters, items, and experience points. Note that the gracious stone may not be acquired in a quest that the player has already cleared. Further, when the quest cannot be cleared, the player selects, for example, spending a paid stone or a free stone, a continue item or the like to continue the quest, or to retire the quest. Continuing is to give a player who cannot clear the quest a right to continue playing the quest.

<Functional means>
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the server device 10.

As shown in FIG. 4, the server device 10 includes a storage unit 50, a lottery unit 52, a determination unit 54, a storage unit 56, and a return unit 58 as a functional configuration. The storage unit 50 is realized by one or a plurality of storage devices 28. Functional units other than the storage unit 50 are realized by the control device 20 executing the game program 14 stored in the storage device 28 or the like.

The storage unit 50 is a functional unit that stores the player information 50A, the character information 50B, the lottery game information 50C, and the like.

The player information 50A is stored for each player in association with the player ID of the player. The player information 50A includes, for example, the player's name and age, owned character information, acquired character information, owned item information, stamina information, and accumulated information. The owned character information includes a character ID of each character owned by the player (owned character) and an ability parameter. The ability parameters are, for example, the level of the character, hit points, attack power, defense power, and the like. The level increases when the character gains the character experience value. As the character's level increases, hit points, attack power, defense power, etc. also increase. The acquired character information includes a character that the player has already acquired and a character ID of a character that has not been acquired by the player. The owned item information includes the number of each item owned by the player. Examples of this item include paid stones, paid gacha tickets, free stones, free gacha tickets, and the like. The stamina information includes the player's current stamina value and the stamina upper limit value. The current stamina value is a value that the player consumes when executing each type of quest. This current stamina value rises by a predetermined amount (for example, 1) with the passage of time (for example, 3 minutes) and recovers to the stamina upper limit value. Further, the current stamina value is recovered by exceeding the stamina upper limit value by the player consuming paid stones, gratuitous stones, stamina recovery items, and the like. This stamina upper limit value increases as the player rank of the player increases. The player rank rises when the player experience value is acquired by, for example, the player playing a game (for example, a quest or a mission). The accumulated information includes points (accumulation number or parameter) accumulated according to execution of each type of lottery game.

The character information 50B is stored for each character in association with the character ID of the character. This character information 50B includes, for example, the name of the character, the image (design), the rarity, the initial value of the ability parameter (for example, the hit point at the level 1, the attack power, the defense power, etc.) and the maximum value (for example, the hit point at the level 100, Attack power, defense power, etc.), skills, etc. are included. Rarity includes a numerical value from 1 to 6, for example. This numerical value may be indicated by the number of stars, for example. Here, for the character with high rarity, ability parameters and skills advantageous for the game (for example, quest and mission) are set.

The lottery game information 50C is stored for each lottery game in association with the lottery game ID of the lottery game. The lottery game information 50C includes, for example, a name (title), lottery target information, a consecutive number of times, and a consideration. The lottery target information includes the character ID of each character that constitutes the lottery target character group that is the lottery target of the lottery game, and the lottery probability associated with the character ID. For example, there are 100 types of characters that make up the lottery target character group. With respect to the lottery probability, a low probability is set for a character with high rarity, and a high probability is set for a character with low rarity. A character (pickup character) having a higher lottery probability than other characters in the same rarity may be provided. The continuous number includes the number of times the continuous lottery is performed. The number of times is, for example, 3, 5, 10 or the like. The consideration includes the number (consumption amount), types, and consumption order of items required to execute one lottery. The types of this item include paid items and free items. For example, the type of consideration of the first lottery game is a free item, the type of consideration of the second lottery game is a paid item or a free item, and the type of consideration of the third lottery game is a paid item. In this case, for example, the third lottery game is more likely to acquire a character with higher rarity than the second lottery game, and the second lottery game is more likely to acquire a character with higher rarity than the first lottery game. The order of consumption includes information indicating an item to be preferentially consumed when the type of consideration is a paid item or a free item. Note that, as the order of consumption, for example, when the player owns both the free item and the paid item, information about preferential consumption of the paid item, information about preferential consumption of the free item, date and time of acquisition Includes information that preferentially consumes old items, information that preferentially consumes items whose acquisition date and time is newer, and the like. For example, in the order of consumption of the first lottery game that consumes only paid items and the third lottery game that consumes only free items, #N/A (Not Applicable) is included, and the second lottery game that consumes paid items or free items is included. The order in which the lottery games are consumed includes information that the paid items are preferentially consumed.

The lottery means 52 is a functional means for executing a lottery game (single-shot lottery game or continuous lottery game) based on an execution instruction from the player. In the first embodiment, the lottery means 52 consumes a plurality of items owned by the player, thereby executing a lottery game that causes the player to acquire a character (content) selected from the lottery target character group (lottery target content group). Run.

Further, the lottery means 52 reduces the number of items consumed in the execution of the lottery game as the number of points (accumulated number) associated with the player increases. For example, when the number of points (accumulated number) associated with the player is 100 or more and less than 200, the lottery means 52 reduces the number of items consumed for lottery of one character by 1, and the number of points is 200. If the number is 300 or more and less than 300, the number of the consumed items is reduced by 2, and if the points are 300 or more, the number of the consumed items is reduced by 3.

In addition, the lottery means 52 executes the lottery game by consuming only the paid items owned by the player. For example, the lottery means 52 executes a lottery game that consumes only paid items when the paid item is included in the types of consideration in the lottery game information 50C.

The lottery means 52 executes the lottery game by preferentially consuming the paid items over the free items owned by the player. For example, when the lottery means 52 includes the paid item or the free item in the type of consideration of the lottery game information 50C, and includes the information that the paid item is preferentially consumed in the consumption order of the consideration, the paid item is given to the free item. The lottery game that preferentially consumes is executed.

The determination unit 54 is a functional unit that determines whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. In the first embodiment, the determination unit 54 determines whether the character (content) selected by the selection unit 52 is a specific character (specific content). As the specific character, a character that the player has never acquired, a character whose rarity is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (for example, 5), or a player or a game operator designated from the lottery target character group before the lottery game is executed. A character or the like may be used, and two or more of these conditions (characteristics) may be combined.

Further, the determination means 54 determines whether or not the number of points (accumulated number) associated with the player is equal to or greater than a predetermined number. For example, the determination unit 54 refers to the accumulated information of the player information 50A and determines whether or not the point is 50 or more, which is a predetermined number.

In addition, when the player gives an instruction to execute the continuous lottery, the determination means 54 determines whether or not the lottery has ended. For example, the determination means 54 counts the number of times the lottery is performed after the execution instruction is given, and when the number of times has reached the continuous number of the lottery game 50C, the determination is affirmative, and the number has been reached. If not, the decision is denied.

The accumulating unit 56 is a functional unit that updates the accumulated information associated with the player. In the first embodiment, the accumulating unit 56 increases the point (accumulation number) associated with the player when the determination by the determining unit 54 is negative. Specifically, when the determination is negative, the accumulating means 56 increases the point (accumulation number) associated with the player by 1 point.

In addition, the accumulating unit 56 increases the points (accumulation number) associated with the player as the rarity of the character (content) selected by the drawing unit 52 is lower. Specifically, when the rarity of the drawn character is 3 or less, the accumulating unit 56 increases the points (accumulation number) associated with the player by 3 points, and the rarity of the drawn character is 4. In this case, the point (accumulation number) is increased by 2 points.

Further, the accumulating unit 56 initializes the points (accumulation number) associated with the player when the determination by the determining unit 54 is affirmative. Examples of this initialization include subtracting a predetermined number (for example, 50) from the points associated with the player, setting the points to 0, and the like.

The returning means 58 is a functional means for returning the items consumed in the lottery to the player. In the first embodiment, the returning means 58 returns a part or all of the items consumed in the lottery to the player when the points (accumulation number) associated with the player is a predetermined number (for example, 50) or more. .. Specifically, when the number of points associated with the player is 50 or more, the returning means 58 returns one of the five items consumed in the lottery.

Further, the return unit 58 increases the number of items to be returned as the number of points (accumulation number) associated with the player increases. Specifically, when the points associated with the player are 100 or more and less than 200, the returning means 58 returns two items out of the five items consumed in the lottery, and the points are 200 or more. If, then 3 of the 5 items consumed in the lottery are returned.

Further, the returning means 58 returns a free item when returning the item to the player. For example, the returning means 58 returns a free item when three or more paid items are consumed in the lottery. Specifically, the return means 58 returns three free items when five paid items are consumed in the lottery, and one free item when three paid items are consumed in the lottery. To return.

Further, the return means 58 increases the number of free items to be returned as the number of paid items consumed in the lottery increases. For example, when the items consumed in the lottery are one paid item and four free items, the return means 58 sets the number of returned items to one, and the consumed item is two paid items. And 3 free items, the number of returned items is 2. That is, the returning unit 58 returns the number of items (for example, the same number as the number of paid items consumed) corresponding to the number of paid items consumed in the lottery (for example, free items).

<Process flow>
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing performed by each functional unit shown in FIG. 4 in the game system according to the first embodiment. The order and contents of the following steps can be changed as appropriate.

(Step SP10)
When the player gives an operation instruction to select one lottery game (lottery game A) from the menu screen of the lottery game, the lottery means 52 displays the lottery game execution screen 60 on the touch panel 32.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the lottery game execution screen 60 according to the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 6, the lottery game execution screen 60 is provided with a provision ratio button 62, a lottery target information area 64, an individual lottery instruction button 66, and a continuous lottery instruction button 68. The provision ratio button 62 is a button for transitioning to a screen showing the names, rarities, and lottery probabilities of the respective characters forming the lottery target character group. In the lottery target information area 64, a specific character included in the lottery target character group (for example, a character that the player has not acquired and has a rarity of 5 or more) is displayed. The individual lottery instruction button 66 is a button for instructing execution of the individual lottery. The continuous lottery instruction button 68 is a button for instructing execution of continuous lottery.

Returning to FIG. 5, the process proceeds to the process of step SP12.

(Step SP12)
The lottery means 52 accepts the pressing of the individual lottery instruction button or the continuous lottery instruction button from the player on the lottery game execution screen. And a process transfers to the process of step SP14.

(Step SP14)
The lottery means 52 refers to the consideration of one lottery game (lottery game A) in the lottery game information 50C and consumes (subtracts) a plurality of items necessary to execute one lottery from the items owned by the player. To do. In other words, the lottery means 52 consumes a plurality of items necessary for drawing one character from the items owned by the player. For example, the lottery means 52 consumes only five paid items from the items owned by the player based on the type of the consideration. Subsequently, the lottery means 52 refers to the lottery target information of one lottery game (lottery game A) in the lottery game information 50C, and based on the lottery probability of each character forming the lottery target character group, one character A lottery process for lottery is performed. And a process transfers to the process of step SP16.

(Step SP16)
The determination means 54 determines whether or not the character selected in step SP14 is a specific character. For example, the determination unit 54 refers to the acquired character information of the player information 50A and determines whether the drawn character has not been acquired by the player and has a rarity of 5 or more (specific character). judge. That is, the determination means 54 denies the determination when the player has already acquired the character even if the rarity of the drawn character is 5 or more. Then, if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP24. On the other hand, if the result of the judgment is negative, the procedural steps proceed to step SP18.

(Step SP18)
The accumulating unit 56 increases the points (accumulation number) associated with the player. For example, the accumulating unit 56 increases (increments) the point by 1 point. And a process transfers to the process of step SP20.

(Step SP20)
The determination means 54 determines whether or not the number of points (accumulated number) associated with the player is equal to or larger than a predetermined number. For example, the determination means 54 determines whether or not the points associated with the player are 50 or more. Then, when the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP22. On the other hand, when the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step SP26.

(Step SP22)
The returning means 58 updates the number of items to be returned to the player. Specifically, the returning means 58 increases the number of items to be returned to the player by four. Then, the process proceeds to the process of step SP24.

(Step SP24)
The accumulating unit 56 initializes the points (accumulation number) associated with the player. For example, the storage unit 56 sets (updates) the point associated with the player to 0. Then, the process proceeds to the process of step SP26.

(Step SP26)
When the determination means 54 receives the pressing of the continuous lottery instruction button in step SP12, the determination means 54 determines whether or not the continuous lottery has been completed. In addition, the determination means 54 affirms the said determination, when the press of the single-shot lottery instruction button is received in step SP12. Then, if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP28. On the other hand, when the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step SP14.

(Step SP28)
The lottery means 52 displays on the touch panel 32 a lottery game result screen 70 including one or a plurality of characters drawn in step SP14 and the number of return items updated in step SP22. The character selected in step SP14 and the number of items to be returned may be displayed during steps SP14 to SP26.
