Further, the game card may be provided with a privilege including a special ability or a special function that is advantageous in advancing the game when it is provided to the player or at the same timing as the above-mentioned game level. ..

In particular, the special ability includes, for example, when the content is a game character, an attack ability, a defense ability, an agility, or a characteristic or ability relating to attack or defense such as a see-through ability. Further, the special function includes, for example, a function that cannot be realized by another game card such as providing a gacha at a predetermined timing.

[4.3] Card Composition Generation Processing Next, the basic processing of the card composition generation processing executed by the card composition processing unit 104 of the server device 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

The card composition processing unit 104
(1) When a player selects a growth card and a material card at a given timing and receives an instruction to execute a card combination process,
(2) Judgment as to whether or not a given modification condition such as the owned game card information of the growth card and the material card and the judgment by lottery are provided (hereinafter referred to as "modification condition judgment"),
(3) When the modification condition is satisfied, the growth card and the material card are combined to generate a new combined game card (generate a combined game card),
(4) The generated synthetic game card is stored in the game card management unit 106 and the user information 146 is updated.

In particular, the card composition processing unit 104 varies the composition variation parameter in the card composition variation parameter (that is, the card level) based on the player's instruction, the game progress, or the combination of the growth card and the material card. Card composition processing (hereinafter referred to as “card composition processing (parameter variation)”) or card composition processing for changing the upper limit value in the variation range of the composition variation parameter (hereinafter referred to as “card composition processing (upper limit value change)”). It is also referred to as “.”, which is also referred to as “so-called “upper limit exceeded”.), and if applicable, the following card composition processing is executed.

In the present embodiment, the card combination processing unit 104 performs, as the card combination processing, for example, addition or change of a special ability defined in the game card, or composition in which the character defined in the game card is mutated. A combination process other than parameter variation or upper limit value change may be executed. However, in the following description, a card combining process of changing parameters or changing an upper limit will be described as the card combining process.

(Judgment of modification conditions)
The card composition processing unit 104 receives the player's selection instruction (parameter change or upper limit value change selection instruction) when the growth card changeable determination is permitted according to the progress of the game. Alternatively, or both of them are satisfied, the modification condition determination process is executed.

Further, the card composition processing unit 104
(A) When it is determined as “winning” by a randomly executed lottery (hereinafter, referred to as “combination lottery adequacy determination”, it is determined that composition is possible if other conditions are satisfied), and
(B) When it is determined that the growth card can be modified (hereinafter, referred to as “growth card modification determination”),
Judge that the modification conditions are met.

In particular, the card composition processing unit 104 determines that the growth card can be modified,
(B1) In the case of card combination processing (parameter change), determination as to whether or not the card combination change parameter of the growth card is the upper limit value of the change range, or
(B2) In the case of card combination processing (upper limit value change), determination as to whether or not the upper limit value in the variation range of the card combination variation parameter of the growth card is a value indicating the change upper limit
To execute.

Then, in the case where it is determined as “win” in the combined lottery availability determination, the card combination processing unit 104 determines that the card combination variation parameter of the growth card is not the upper limit value of the variation range in the case of (B1). For example, in the case of (B2), if it is determined that the upper limit value in the variation range of the card combination variation parameter of the growth card is not a value indicating the change upper limit, it is determined that the specified growth card can be modified. ..

In addition, instead of or in addition to the determination based on the card synthesis variation parameter of the growth card, the card synthesis processing unit 104 performs information regarding the card synthesis variation parameter included in the game card information of the growth card or the modification management information. See
(B'1) When the flag information that can be modified by the combining process is included,
(B'2) When the number of modifiable times has not reached the upper limit, or
(B'3) When the flag information indicating that it has not been modified is included,
It is determined that the identified growth card can be modified, and in other cases, it is determined that it cannot be modified.

For example, regarding the growth card changeable determination of (B1), the current card level of the growth card A (card composition variable parameter) is "3", and the upper limit value of the card level fluctuation parameter variation range of the card level is " In the case of “5”, the card combination processing unit 104 determines that the growth card A can be modified.

Further, regarding the growth card changeable determination of (B2), although the current card level of the growth card A is "5" and the upper limit value of the card combination fluctuation parameter fluctuation range is "5", the upper limit value of the card level concerned. If the upper limit value of the growth card is “10”, the upper limit value can be changed. Therefore, the card combination processing unit 104 determines that the growth card A has the same type and attribute as the growth card and the material card. Determined to be modifiable.

The modification condition determination of the present embodiment may include a condition as to whether or not the growth card and the material card have a given relationship. For example, a given relationship between a growth card and a material card when it is determined that the growth card is modifiable,
(A) The types of growth card and material card match,
(B) The attributes of the growth card and the material card match,
(C) The types or attributes of the growth card and the material card have a predetermined relationship defined in table data or the like,
(D) Having the same special ability,
(E) Within the range considered to be a match or match at the card level,
(F) The card level is equal to or higher than a predetermined level difference, or
(E) Two or more combinations of (a) to (f) (however, the combination of (e) and (f) is not possible)
Etc. are included.

Particularly, in the case of card combination processing (upper limit value change), the card combination processing unit 104 of the present embodiment determines whether or not the types and attributes of the growth card and the material card are the same, and the growth card and the material are determined. When the type and attribute of the card are the same, it is determined that the specified growth card can be modified on the assumption that other conditions are satisfied.

In addition, in the present embodiment, whether or not to win in the combined lottery availability determination of (A) is, in addition to the random lottery, whether or not to pay the cost such as charging or consumption of points used for the game, consumption amount or consumption amount, etc. The determination may be made according to the condition of.

(Generation of synthetic game card)
In the case of the card combination process (upper limit value change) of (B1) described above, the card combination processing unit 104 determines that the growth card can be modified by the combination lottery availability judgment and the growth card modification possibility judgment, and the growth card And the relationship in the owned game card information of the material card, or based on the owned game card information of the material card, calculate the change amount of the card synthesis variation parameter (that is, the card level) of the growth card, and the type of the growth card, While inheriting attributes, abilities, and other characteristics, the calculated change amount is added to the current card level within a range not exceeding the upper limit of the card combination fluctuation parameter fluctuation range to generate a composite game card.

For example, the card composition processing unit 104 determines that the relationship between the growth card and the material card in the owned game card information is
(B1-1) When the card levels match or are within the range considered to be the match (B1-2) When the card level of the material card is higher than the card level of the growing card, or
(B1-3) When the card level has a predetermined level difference or more,
Is used, and the change amount is calculated by referring to the table data and specifying the values defined corresponding to these.

On the other hand, in the case of the card combining process (parameter variation) of (B2) described above, the card combination processing unit 104 determines that the growth card can be modified by the combination lottery availability judgment and the growth card modification possibility judgment, and the growth Calculate the change amount of the upper limit value in the variation range of the growth parameter card composition variation parameter (that is, the card level) based on the relationship in the owned game card information of the card and the material card or the owned game card information of the material card However, the change calculated within the range that does not exceed the upper limit changeable range, which indicates the range in which the upper limit of the variation range of the card combination variation parameter can be changed, while inheriting the type, attribute, ability and other characteristics of the growth card. The amount is added to the upper limit value in the fluctuation range of the current card level to generate a synthetic game card.

For example, the card synthesizing processing unit 104, regarding the relationship in the owned game card information of the growth card and the material card, as in the card synthesizing process (change of upper limit value),
(B2-1) When the card level matches or is within the range considered to be the match (B2-2) When the card level of the material card is higher than the card level of the growth card, or
(B2-3) When the card level has a predetermined level difference or more,
Is used, and the change amount is calculated by referring to the table data and specifying the values defined corresponding to these.

Note that the card composition processing unit 104 of the present embodiment is configured to generate a composition game card that inherits the characteristics of the growth card, but at least one characteristic of the growth card type, attribute, or ability is inherited. The generated combined game card may be generated. In addition to the growth card, the card composition processing unit 104 can also generate a composition game card that inherits the type, attribute, or ability of the material card. Mixed synthetic game cards may be generated.

For example, when the type of the growth card is “Character A” and the attributes are “fire” and the ability “10 times agility”, the card synthesis processing unit 104 determines that the growth card is the growth card. Ability "20" having the same card level as the modified card level, the type "Character A+" which is a modified version of the character A, the attribute "Fire", and the agility ability increased. It is also possible to create a synthetic game card with the property of "double agility".

At this time, the card synthesizing processing unit 104 determines the agility value based on the card level and ability of the material card.

[4.4] Lottery Processing (Gacha) and Management thereof [4.4.1] Lottery Processing Unit Next, the lottery processing unit 105 and the lottery processing unit 105 in the server device 10 of the present embodiment (the lottery processing ( Gacha) will be described.
