A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Configuration of mobile terminal 100)
As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile terminal (game computer) 100 is an information processing device capable of executing a game program according to this embodiment. The information processing device may be any device capable of executing the process included in the game program. For example, in addition to the mobile terminal 100, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a mobile phone (so-called feature phone), home use. It can be realized using a game machine, a personal computer, other electronic devices, or the like. The game program includes a display (display unit), an input surface capable of detecting a touch input, a memory, and one or more processors capable of executing one or more programs stored in the memory. It can be particularly suitably executed in a multifunction device (for example, a smartphone or the like) that includes and.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 100 includes a control unit 10 (input acquisition unit 11, determination unit 12, association unit 13, extraction unit 14, reward storage unit 15, change unit 16, and display processing unit 20). The input unit 40 (the input surface 41 and the input control unit 42), the display unit 50, and the storage unit 30 are provided.

The control unit 10 centrally controls various functions of the mobile terminal 100. The control unit 10 includes an input acquisition unit 11, a determination unit 12, an association unit 13, an extraction unit 14, a reward storage unit 15, a change unit 16, and a display processing unit 20.

The input unit 40 receives a user operation. In the present embodiment, the input unit 40 may be a touch panel. The input unit 40 includes an input surface 41 and an input control unit 42. The method of giving an input to the mobile terminal 100 is not limited to the touch operation using the touch panel (for example, the input can be given by pressing a predetermined input key).

The input surface 41 is a device (for example, a touch surface included in the touch panel) capable of detecting a position designated by a user operation. The input surface 41 outputs the touch signal 5a corresponding to the designated position to the input control unit 42.

The input control unit 42 generates coordinate information 5b including information on coordinates on the input surface 41 based on the touch signal 5a input from the input surface 41. The input control unit 42 outputs the coordinate information 5b to the input acquisition unit 11.

The storage unit (storage function) 30 stores the game progress information 5c regarding the progress of the game by the user and the reward information 5d regarding a predetermined reward in association with each other, and the association unit (association function) 13 selects the selection target object, and The selection specification is stored in association with the user.

The game progress information 5c output from the storage unit 30 is input to the determination unit (determination function) 12 of the control unit 10.

The determination unit 12 determines, based on the game progress information 5c output from the storage unit 30, whether or not a predetermined condition regarding the progress of the game by the user is satisfied.

The determination information 5e output from the determination unit 12 is input to the reward storage unit (reward storage function) 15.

Information (hereinafter referred to as “reward information”) 5d on the predetermined reward output from the storage unit 30 is input to the determination unit 12, and the reward information 5d is input to the reward storage unit 15 via the determination unit 12. Further, the determination information 5e output from the determination unit 12 is input to the reward storage unit 15. Then, when the predetermined condition is satisfied, the selection target object in the selection process and/or the right to change the specification of the selection are stored in the reward storage unit 15 as a reward in association with the user.

The right to change the selection target object and/or the specification of selection means that the selection target object and/or the specification of selection can be selectively changed in association with the user.

Then, the reward storage information 5g output from the reward storage unit 15 is input to the changing unit (changing function) 16.

Then, the changing unit 16 changes the selection target object associated with the user as the right stored in association with the user according to the reward storage information 5g is exercised.

Note that the changing unit 16 can also change the specification of selection associated with the user.

The changing unit 16 may be configured to change either the selection target or the specification of the selection associated with the user, or may be configured to change both the selection target and the specification of the selection. Good.

The change information (henceforth “change information”) 5h output from the changing unit 16 is input to the associating unit 13 to associate the selection target and/or the selection specification with the user. The association information 5f is input to the extraction unit 14. Then, the extraction unit 14 performs a process of selecting and extracting a predetermined game content from the selection target objects including one or more game content based on the specification of the selection in accordance with the operation input of the user.

Here, the "game content" refers to in-game content that can be owned or managed by the user in the game. For example, a character card associated with the user himself or a character owned by the user, an avatar, equipment of the character, an item usable in the game, and the like can be given.

As a processing method for extracting a predetermined game content from the selection target by selection based on the specification of selection, there is a method of obtaining a capsule toy such as a so-called “Gacha”. The selection method at that time may be selected randomly, or the selection order may be determined in advance according to a predetermined rule, and the selection order may be selected based on the order according to the operation input of the user. Further, a plurality of predetermined selection orders may be set, and one order may be selected by lottery from among them.

In the following, the process of extracting a predetermined game content from the selection target object by selection based on the specification of selection will be described by exemplifying a case of using “gacha”.

The “specification of selection” refers to the content of selection associated with the user. For example, the probability that a specific game content included in the selection target will be extracted, the parameters of the specific game content included in the selection target, and the like are included. The parameters refer to, for example, the acquisition points of each game medium, the attack power of character card/avatar/character equipment, defense/attributes, and the like.

The right to change may be a right to include a specific game content in the selection target. In addition, the right to change may be a right to change (evolve) a specific game content included in the selection target to another game content, for example, a higher-ranking game content. The right to change may be a right to delete at least a part of one or more game contents included in the selection target.

In addition, the right to change may be a right to increase or decrease the probability that a specific game content included in the selected object will be (acquired). In addition, the right to change may be a right to increase or decrease a parameter of a specific game content included in the selection target.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the selection target and/or the selection specification associated with the user are changed in accordance with the exercise of the changing right stored in association with the user by the reward storage unit 15. be able to. The change of the selection target and/or the selection specification is realized by the changing unit 15. It should be noted that the above-mentioned right to change is an example and is not limited to this.

The display processing unit 20 causes the display unit 50 to display the game screen by generating screen information 6a about the game screen that can be presented to the user and outputting the screen information 6a to the display unit 50.

The display unit 50 is a device that displays a game screen. In the present embodiment, the display unit 50 may be a liquid crystal display. Note that, in FIG. 1, the input unit 40 and the display unit 50 are shown separately in order to clearly show their respective functions. However, for example, when the input unit 40 is a touch panel and the display unit 50 is a liquid crystal display, it is preferable that both are integrally configured.

The storage unit 30 described above is a storage device configured by an arbitrary recording medium such as a hard disk, an SSD (solid state drive), a semiconductor memory, a DVD, and stores a game program and data capable of controlling the mobile terminal 100. To do.

(Details of the game)
In the present embodiment, the game progress information regarding the progress of the game by the user and the reward information regarding the predetermined reward are stored in the storage unit in association with each other.

Here, the “game progress information regarding the progress of the game by the user” is not particularly limited as long as it indicates the game progress information that the user has, and includes, for example, (1) mission progress status of the game (for example, progress status (2) Information indicating the mission progress result of the game (for example, the type and number of acquired game contents), and the like.

Further, the “reward information” is information indicating a reward (incentive), and the “reward” is not limited to something similar to money. For example, an item that increases the attack power of the character, the physical strength of the character, or the like. It may be an item that recovers damage, or may be the right to change the selection target and/or the selection specification.

Here, the "mission" means a task that the user challenges in the game. For example, a game content is acquired by performing a battle with an enemy character and clearing a predetermined task. The user progresses the game while clearing a plurality of missions and collecting desired game contents on his or her mobile terminal.

In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the "predetermined condition" regarding the progress of the game by the user is satisfied.

The “predetermined condition” in the present embodiment is not particularly limited, but, for example, the user acquires a predetermined game content, conquers a predetermined enemy character, or controls his/her own time until a predetermined time. It may be clearing a predetermined mission such as making the character survive.

FIG. 2 is a chart showing the types and numbers of target fish and rewards (incentives) required to complete the missions of each level according to the mission level.

Although the contents of the missions that form the game in the present embodiment are not particularly limited, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the fish to be fished for each mission (target fish A, B, C, The type and number of D) may change irregularly. Further, when the mission is cleared by the user acquiring the fish to be caught, the gacha in the selection process and/or the right to change the specification of the selection are stored as a reward in association with the user. It may be configured. The storage associated with the user as the reward is realized by the reward storage unit 15. The mission content may be such that it is gradually difficult to complete the mission each time the mission level increases.

The mission shown in FIG. 2 has an upper limit of 35 as the mission level, and as the mission level increases, the type and number of target fish that need to be caught to clear the mission change, and as the mission level increases, the difficulty level increases. The content of the mission is increasing. The upper limit of the mission level is not limited to 35, and the mission level may be 36 or higher.

The target fish A is 3 fish in mission level 1, 4 fish in mission level 3, and 50 fish in mission level 35, and so on. The number of fish A gradually increases, and the difficulty level increases. Similarly, with respect to the target fish B, the target fish C, or D, the number of target fish increases in stages, and the difficulty level increases. As a result, the game quality is improved, and it is possible to provide a highly entertaining game to advanced users.

The mission prepared on the game program shown in FIG. 2 includes three "target fish A" at mission level 1, three "target fish B" at mission level 2, and "target fish C" at mission level 10. You can move on to the next mission level by clearing the missions one by one, etc.

Then, as each mission is cleared as described above, a reward is given. In mission level 1, if 3 "target fish A" are caught, 200 points (Pt), which is one of the virtual currencies in the game, can be acquired. In mission level 2, when three "target fish B" are caught, the item A, which is the centerpiece, is released to the gacha. In the mission level 3, when four "target fish A" are caught, the right to increase (up) the probability that the eyeball item A can be acquired (extracted) from the gacha is granted. In mission level 14, when 20 "target fish D" are caught, it becomes possible to challenge a large character.

Here, “released to a gacha” means that a specific game content is added to the types of game content that can be acquired from the gacha according to the progress of the mission level. That is, the specific game content is added to the selection target object stored in association with the user. This allows the user to acquire a particular game content. At this time, the game content that can be added may be selected by the user. The game property is improved, and the user's interest in the game can be improved.

That is, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to maintain and improve the willingness to participate in the game in response to the acquisition request for various game contents of the user who plays the game.

In the present embodiment, in addition to clearing the mission level 3, in the mission levels 6, 7, 15, 18, 21, 27, 30, and 33, a specific game included in the selection target object by using the gacha The right to increase the probability that the medium (for example, each item, the item of the eyeball) can be acquired is given.

In the present embodiment, a user executes a game (progress of a mission) based on reward information and game progress information (for example, information indicating a game mission progress status, information indicating a game mission progress result, etc.). To do.

FIG. 3 is a transition diagram showing a result of progressing a mission (progressing a game).

At the initial stage where the mission does not progress, there are five types of game contents (item (1) to item (5)) in the gacha. When mission level 2 is cleared, the item A, which is the centerpiece, is unlocked and released (added) to the gacha as a reward. That is, the item A, which is the centerpiece, can be acquired from the gacha with a predetermined probability (release (1)). Different acquisition probabilities are set for the game contents that can be acquired from the gacha, and when the mission level 3 is cleared, the right to increase the probability that the eyeball item A can be acquired from the gacha is given (probability increase (up) (1)). When a right is given and exercised as a reward, for example, the acquisition probability of the eyeball item A, which was 5% in the initial stage, increases to 10% by clearing the mission level 3 (see FIG. 4 ). When mission level 4 is cleared, unlocked item B, which is the centerpiece, is released to the gacha, and the item can be acquired from the gacha (release (2)). It should be noted that when the item A, which is the eyeball added earlier, can be extracted from the gacha and acquired, the limitation that the probability increase state ends may be added. The details of the limitation of the probability increase state will be described later. If mission level 5 is cleared after the eyeball item A is extracted from the gacha, the eyeball item A is unlocked again and the eyeball item A is released to the gacha again, and it becomes possible to acquire it (release (3)). Clearing mission level 6 gives you the right to increase the probability that item B, the centerpiece, can be obtained from gacha (probability increase (up) (2)). When mission level 7 is cleared, the item C of the eyeball is released to the gacha, and it becomes possible to acquire it (release (4)), and the right to increase the probability that the item C of the eyeball can be acquired from the gacha is granted. (Probability increase (up) (3)).

At this time, the releasable game content may be selected by the user. For example, the user may arbitrarily select the item for which the right to increase the probability of being acquired from the gacha is the target.

The right to increase the probability given by clearing the mission can be stored without exercising it. Further, the stored rights may be sequentially stocked. The memory and the stock are realized by the reward memory 13. The details of the stock of rights will be described later.

Clearing each mission gives the user the right to increase the probability that a particular game content (eg, eyeball item A, eyeball item B) can be acquired from the gacha. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, clearing the mission level 3 gives the right to increase the probability that the eyeball item A can be acquired from the gacha by 5% to 10%. Also, clearing mission level 30 gives the right to increase the probability that item (10) can be acquired from gacha by 15% to 20%. The above probability increase rate is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this.

In this way, as the mission level is cleared, five types of items are initially added in sequence, and as a right to change, the right to increase the probability that a specific game content included in the selected object can be acquired from gacha Will be assigned in association with the user.

The probability of being acquired from gacha is not limited to the case of increasing. The right to reduce the probability may be given as a reward in association with the user. As a result, the user can relatively increase the acquisition probability of other game contents by reducing the acquisition probability of unnecessary game contents. In addition, the user can prevent acquisition of unnecessary game contents.

Further, the right to change is not limited to the right to increase/decrease the probability of acquiring the game content. For example, the right to change may be the right to change the specific game content included in the gacha to another game content.

Alternatively, the right to change may be the right to add/decrease the game content included in the selection target. For example, the right to change may be a right to include a specific game content in the selection target.

The specific game content may be configured to be applicable to a group including a predetermined game content. Specifically, the above-mentioned right may be exercised for a group of game media having the same game media attributes (for example, fire attribute, water attribute) and rarity (for example, S rare). Good.

Thereby, the willingness to participate in the game in response to the acquisition request for various game contents of the user who plays the game is maintained and improved. In this way, the selection target in the selection process and/or the right to selectively change the specification of the selection is given as a reward in association with the user.

Further, in the present embodiment, the right to change can be sequentially stored and stocked in association with the user.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the mission level 3 is cleared, the right to increase the probability that the eyeball item A can be acquired from the gacha is granted (probability increase (up) (1)). At that time, if the user does not exercise the right to increase the probability of the item A, the right to increase the probability of the item A can be stored and stored in association with the user. After that, when the mission level 6 is cleared, the right to increase the probability that the eyeball item B can be obtained from the gacha is granted (probability increase (up) (2)). Similarly, when the user does not exercise the right to increase the probability of item B, the right to increase the probability of item B can be further stored and stored in association with the user. Further, even when the mission level 7 is cleared, the right to increase the probability of the item C may be sequentially stocked.

Since the rights can be sequentially stored and stocked as described above, the user can arbitrarily assign the rights according to the status (for example, type and number) of the game content owned by the user and the game content included in the gacha. It has the effect of being able to adapt to the time of year. This allows the gacha to be changed according to the needs of each user and the timing in the game.

In addition, when the rights to be changed are stocked, a different effect depending on the number of stocked rights can be produced as compared with the case where the rights are applied without being stocked. For example, the effect of stocked rights may be enhanced according to the number of stocked rights. If the right to increase the probability of acquiring a particular game content is stocked, the above probability may be additionally increased according to the number of stocked rights. Further, different effects may be produced depending on the stock period. For example, if a certain period of time has passed since the right to increase the probability of acquiring a particular game content was stocked, the above probability may be increased according to the length of the stocked right. Good. As a result, the user needs to select whether to exercise or hold the right in accordance with the game content that the user wants to acquire, and can proceed with the game in consideration of the strategy.

Further, by combining (combining) at least two stocked rights among the rights stored in association with the user, a right different from the combined individual rights is provided in association with the user, and Different effects can be produced depending on the exercise of rights after composition. For example, when a right that increases a plurality of probabilities is combined, the user may be given a right that can increase the probability more than the addition of the increase in the acquisition probability of each right. Further, a right to generate an effect different from the plurality of combined rights may be given. For example, when the plurality of rights to be combined are the rights to increase the probability, the right to be evolved to a higher-order game medium may be given as the combined right. Even if the user does not need the right alone, he or she can combine it with other rights to make the right necessary for the user. This makes it possible to create a more desirable right for the user.

The combination (combination) of the above rights is realized by a right composition section (right composition function, not shown). The right synthesis unit may be provided in the control unit 10 or may be separately arranged.

Then, the right to change is adapted according to the user's selection. The right to be changed is stored in the reward storage unit 15 in association with the user, and a predetermined right can be selected from the stored right based on information about the progress of the game. This selection is realized by a selection unit (not shown). The selection unit may be provided in the control unit 10 or may be separately arranged.

Further, the right to change is not limited to being applied by the user's selection. For example, the right to change may be automatically adapted upon acquisition of the user. Alternatively, the right to change may be applied by the server device when the progress of the game by the user satisfies a predetermined condition. For example, the server device may be configured to automatically grant the right to the user according to the progress of the mission based on the correspondence between the right and the user stored in advance in the reward storage unit 15. .. Specifically, the server device grants the user the right to change automatically, provided that the user satisfies a predetermined condition such as clearing a predetermined mission level and the number of points of virtual currency in the game. It may be configured to be performed.

Note that the right to change may be subject to predetermined restrictions depending on the situation of the gacha. For example, it may be configured such that other stocked rights cannot be applied until a specific game content is acquired from the gacha. Further, the effect of the applied right may be configured so that the right loses its effect when a specific game content to which the right is applied is acquired. With this, it is possible to prevent the game balance from being lost due to the acquisition of a large number of specific game contents for a predetermined user.

In the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the right to clear the mission level 3 and increase the probability that the eyeball item A can be acquired from the gacha is granted (probability increase (up) (1)). ).

In this case, if the user does not exercise the right to increase the probability of item A (non-exercise (1)), the right to increase the probability of item A may be stored and stored in association with the user. it can. Then, at the mission level 4, the eyeball item B is released to the gacha (see FIG. 3), and the right to clear the mission level 6 and increase the probability that the eyeball item B can be obtained from the gacha is granted (probability increase).
