(Outline of the game)
The present inventor has noticed that, in a game in which one or more missions are progressed to progress the game, there are "advantageous users" and "disadvantageous users" for a given mission.

Here, the “advantageous user” refers to a user whose progress of a predetermined mission is relatively advanced, while the “advantageous user” is behind the progress of a predetermined mission. Refers to the user.

The relationship between the “advantageous user” and the “unfavorable user” is not particularly limited as long as it is a relationship in which there is a certain difference in the progress level of the mission, and for example, (1) “experienced user” Relationship between "new user", (2) relationship between "user having specific item" and "user not having specific item", (3) "user having specific attribute" and "specific The relationship between “a user who does not have an attribute”, and (4) “a user who has sufficient time to progress a mission” and “a user who does not have a sufficient time required to progress a mission” and the like.

In the present embodiment, even if a user is a disadvantage (a user who is not progressing in a predetermined mission) with respect to a predetermined mission, a user who is advantageous (a progress in a predetermined mission is By giving a "specific motivation" to the "relatively advanced user)", it is possible to stimulate the willingness to help the "disadvantageous user".

At the stage when the predetermined mission has been delayed, other users have the progress of the delayed mission by the user (player) even if the motivation for the game is reduced. By proceeding, etc., a decreased motivation for the game is aroused, and the motivation of the "other user" to continue the game can be maintained/improved.

In the present embodiment, “helping” another user whose progress of a predetermined mission is delayed means that the user (player) continues the delayed mission instead of the other user whose progress is delayed. Undertakes and advances the progress of the delayed mission (executes the game).

In the present embodiment, the "specific motivation" given to the user (player) stimulates the willingness to help the "poor user (other user who is behind in progress of a predetermined mission)". There is no particular limitation as long as it is an incentive.

The “specific motivation” given to the user (player) is, for example, (i) a “predetermined reward” is given to the player by the user (player) helping the “disadvantageous user” (ii) ) The possibility that the “predetermined reward” is given to the player is increased.

In addition, as the “specific motivation” given to the user (player), for example, the user (player) helps the “disadvantageous user” and (i) the group to which the user (player) belongs. For example, the “predetermined reward” is given, and (ii) the possibility that the “predetermined reward” is given to the group to which the user (player) belongs is increased. For example, when a user (player) participates in a battle between groups, a “disadvantageous user” who is behind in progress of a predetermined mission in the group to which the user (player) belongs wins the battle. On the other hand, it becomes a presence that pulls the group's legs. The user (player) helps the "disadvantageous user" to progress the "disadvantageous user" mission and increases the chances of the group winning, resulting in (i) the user (player) and/or Alternatively, the "predetermined reward" is given to the group to which the user (player) belongs, and (ii) the "predetermined reward" is likely to be given to the user (player) and/or the group to which the user (player) belongs be able to.

Here, the “predetermined reward” given to the player (player) may be, for example, a reward in which a game medium such as an item is presented to the player, and the progress of the game of the player is promoted or advantageous. It may be a reward in which the effect that becomes is presented.

The “game content” is arbitrary electronic data used by a player in a game realized by the game program according to the present embodiment and/or another game realized by another game program. For example, it may be a character, an item, or other data.

The “game progress information regarding the progress of the game by the other user” is not particularly limited as long as it indicates the game progress information of the other user, and for example, (1) mission progress status of the game (eg, Information indicating the mission level in progress), (2) mission progress result of the game (for example, the type and number of items acquired) information, and (3) game progress information based on the game progress information of other users. It includes information indicating that it is requested to execute on behalf of the user.

In the present embodiment, two or more “other users” forming one or more other users are included based on (2) other user classification information included in the above “user information of other users”. Can be classified into at least one of the above categories. In addition, the “other user” may be classified into two or more different categories at the same time.

The classification information of the other user is (1) information indicating “new user” whose registration date of the other user is within a predetermined period from the present time, and (2) last login date of the other user is outside the predetermined period from the present time. Information indicating a "dormant user" in (3), and (3) user information of another user by the storage function may be included in the information indicating a "fellow user" stored in association with the user.

As a condition to be classified into the classification information (1) “new user”, there is a case where the registration date of another user is within a predetermined period from the present time. The "within a predetermined period" can be arbitrarily set on the game program, and for example, another user within one month from the registration date can be classified as a new user.

As a condition to be classified into the classification information (2) “sleeping user”, there is a case where the last login date of another user is outside the predetermined period from the present time. The "outside of the predetermined period" can be arbitrarily set in the game program, and for example, another user who has passed 5 months or more since the last login date can be classified as a dormant user.

As the condition for classifying the classification information (3) as “mate user”, the user information of another user (for example, identification information of “other user”) is identified by the storage function as the user (for example, “user (player)”). The information may be stored in association with (information).

Other users are classified into the category of the classification information (3) “mate user”, and at the same time, the classification information (1) category of “new user” or the classification information (2) category of “dormant user”. It may be classified into.

Here, it is stated that the classification information included in other users includes (1) information indicating “new user”, (2) information indicating “sleeping user”, and (3) information indicating “companion user”. However, the classification information of other users may include classification information other than the classification information (1) to (3). Further, "other users" may be grouped into two or more different categories at the same time.

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

The “predetermined condition” in the present embodiment is not particularly limited, but (1) the game progress information of other users does not include information indicating that the predetermined state has been reached. (2) The game progress information of the other user executes the game based on the game progress information of the other user from the other user (progress mission) on behalf of the other user. Is included, and the like.

In the above-mentioned predetermined condition (1), "the game progress information of other users does not include information indicating that the game has reached a predetermined state" means that the progress of a predetermined mission is delayed. It is not particularly limited, and can be arbitrarily set in the game program. For example, (i) a state in which the mission cannot be completed to the end within a predetermined time and the operation is stagnant in the middle of the mission, (ii) predetermined It was possible to complete the prescribed mission within the time of, but the situation was stagnant without proceeding to the next mission.

In the mission shown in FIG. 6, the upper limit of the mission level is set to 35, and as the mission level increases, the type of target fish to be fished for each mission and the number of target fish to be fished to clear the mission change. The mission content is that the difficulty level increases as the level increases.

For target fish A, 3 at mission level 1, 5 at mission level 2, 12 at mission level 6, 65 at mission level 11, 110 at mission level 16, 155 at mission level 21, As the mission level increases, the number of target fish A that need to be caught in order to clear the mission gradually increases, such as 220 fish at the mission level 26 and 295 fish at the mission level 31, thus increasing the difficulty level. To do.

For target fish B, 3 at mission level 3, 5 at mission level 4, 20 at mission level 7, 65 at mission level 12, 100 at mission level 17, 155 at mission level 22, As the mission level goes up, 220 fish at mission level 27 and 295 at mission level 32, etc., the number of target fish B that need to be caught in order to complete the mission gradually increases, increasing the difficulty level. To do.

Similarly, for each target fish C, D, or E, as the mission level increases, the number of target fish that need to be caught in order to clear the mission gradually increases, and the difficulty level increases. As a result, the game quality is improved, and it is possible to provide a game that is highly entertaining to advanced players.

The missions prepared on the game program shown in FIG. 6 include three "target fish A" at mission level 1, 65 "target fish B" at mission level 2, and "target fish B" at mission level 3. 5 "Target fish B" at level 4, 7 "Target fish C" at mission level 5, 12 "Target fish A" at mission level 6, 20 "Target fish B" at mission level 7, Mission level 8 Then, "target fish C" 25 fish, mission level 9 "target fish C" 45 fish, and mission level 10 "target fish D" 25 fish. be able to.

For example, in mission level 8, it is a mission that cannot proceed to the next mission (mission level 9) unless 25 "target fish C" are caught, and (i) another user selects "target fish C". It may be determined that the predetermined condition (1) is satisfied at the time when the predetermined time is reached when 23 fish are caught. In addition, (ii) when the other user has cleared the mission level 8 by catching all 25 “target fish C”, the predetermined condition (1) is satisfied at the time when the predetermined time is reached. May be determined as

In the predetermined condition (2), “the game progress information of the other user is executed by the user (player) from the other user on behalf of the other user on the basis of the game progress information of the other user ( Includes information indicating that the progress of a mission is requested” means, for example, when the progress of a predetermined mission is delayed, other users tell the user (player) to continue the delayed mission. An example is a case where a (player) accepts and sends a request to have the mission progress (execute a game).

In the present embodiment, another user who is determined to satisfy the above-mentioned “predetermined condition” is selectable as a “substitution target user” who substitutes the game of the other user for the user, and the user's terminal device is selectable. To display.

Further, in the present embodiment, other users (users other than the proxy target user) determined not to satisfy the above-described “predetermined condition” are determined to satisfy the above-described “predetermined condition”. Can be displayed on the terminal device of the user (player) so as to be selectable in a manner distinguishable from the user (substitute target user).

In the present embodiment, according to the selection information acquired by the user (player), the game progress information of the "user (player)" is the "substitution target user" (for example, information indicating the mission progress status of the game, the game A game based on information indicating a mission progress result) is executed (progress of the mission) on behalf of the proxy target user.

In FIG. 2, "another user" determined to satisfy a predetermined condition is displayed as a proxy target user so that the proxy target user is selected according to the selection information of the user (player), and the proxy target user is selected. FIG. 8 is a transition diagram of a screen showing a result of the user (player) accepting a mission that has been delayed by and progressing the game (execution of the mission).
