<Game overview>
The game according to the first embodiment includes a lottery game in which a player acquires a character as an example of content, and a quest. The lottery game is sometimes called gacha, fluffy, summoning, etc. Quests are sometimes referred to as dungeons, subjugation, exploration, etc.

The lottery game according to the first embodiment can be executed by the player selecting one lottery game from a plurality of types of lottery games on the execution menu screen or the like of the lottery game. In this one lottery game, the player can select a single lottery in which the lottery is executed once or a continuous lottery in which the lottery is executed 10 times in a row. This one-shot lottery is sometimes referred to as a single gacha, one-time fluffy, one-time summon, etc. In addition, this continuous lottery may be referred to as 10 consecutive gachas, 10 times fluffy, 10 times summons, and the like. Then, the player issues a single lottery or continuous lottery execution instruction (request), and the characters randomly selected (randomly) from the lottery target character group (lottery target content group) corresponding to the one lottery game. Can be earned. This lottery game is executed based on the consumption of consideration. Examples of this consideration include paid items (charged items) and free items (non-charged items). A paid item is an item that can be acquired by a player through a purchase procedure (payment of cash or electronic money, credit card payment, etc.). Examples of this paid item include paid stones, paid gacha tickets, and the like. The free item is an item that can be acquired by the player through game play (execution of various games). This gameplay includes logging in, clearing quests, completing missions, interacting with other players who have registered as friends, and so on. Examples of this free item include free stones and free gacha tickets. Also, paid items are more valuable than free items. For example, in a lottery game that can be executed by consuming only paid items, it is easier to acquire a character with a higher rarity (rare value) than a lottery game that can be executed by consuming free items. In addition, paid stones and free stones may be referred to as "stones" without distinction.

Further, the quest according to the first embodiment is executed when the player selects one quest from a plurality of types of quests on the quest menu screen. This quest includes normal quests and event quests. A normal quest is a quest in which the next quest can be played by clearing a quest that can be played by the player. Event quests are quests in which playable quests are switched depending on the time of day and period. In addition, each quest is executed based on the consumption stamina value associated with the quest being consumed from the player's current stamina value. Stamina is sometimes referred to as life, action points (AP), battle points (BP), and the like. The player's current stamina value may be consumed at the end of the quest (at the time of clearing or at the time of retirement).

Further, in the quest according to the first embodiment, a battle game is executed in which a team composed of one or a plurality of owned characters of the player plays against an enemy character that appears. In this quest, for example, the player instructs the characters (characters used) that make up the team to attack. When the quest is cleared, the player is made to acquire (give) rewards such as free items, game coins, characters, and player experience points. In addition, in the quest that the player has already cleared, the free item may not be acquired.

<Outline of update>
In the game according to the first embodiment, an update for adding a new quest to an existing quest and an update for adding a new character (content) to an existing character (content) are performed periodically or irregularly. This update is sometimes referred to as a version upgrade or update. In addition, this addition is sometimes referred to as liberation or lifting of the ban. Existing quests are quests added prior to a predetermined time (eg May 2019). On the other hand, a new quest is a quest added after the predetermined time. An existing character is a character added before the preferential time (predetermined time) corresponding to each quest. On the other hand, the new character refers to a character added after the preferential treatment period. This preferential treatment period is based on, for example, the time when the quest is added (the time when the quest can be executed).

In the game according to the first embodiment, the new quest can be executed based on the update that adds a new quest. This new quest is, for example, more difficult than existing quests, and the parameters of the enemy characters that appear are set high, and many gimmicks that are disadvantageous to the player (for example, the damage floor) are set. If the new quest is a normal quest, the player can play the new quest after the update, provided that all existing normal quests have been cleared. Further, when the new quest is an event quest, the player can play the new quest in a predetermined time zone or a predetermined period after the update.

Further, in the game according to the first embodiment, the new character (content) becomes available based on the update that adds a new character (content). This new character also includes, for example, an evolved character of an existing character. In addition, for this new character, for example, parameters and upper limit values of parameters are set higher than existing characters, and skills that are advantageous to enemy characters and gimmicks appearing in new quests are set. After the update, the player executes a lottery game in which the new character is included in the lottery target, or executes a quest (for example, a new quest) in which the new character is included in the reward. The new character can be acquired. Then, the player can use the acquired new character in a quest, a mission, or the like.

<Overview of synthesis>
In the composition according to the first embodiment, among the characters owned by the player (owned content), one character is set as the source character (source content) and the other character is set as the material character (material content). It means to nurture. The material character used for compositing is excluded (deleted) from the player's own character.

In addition, the synthesis according to the first embodiment includes enhanced synthesis and evolutionary synthesis. Reinforced composition is a composition that changes the parameters (for example, level) of the composition source character. Evolutionary synthesis is a synthesis in which the source character is evolved (changed) into another character.

The enhanced composition according to the first embodiment can be executed by the player selecting and operating the enhanced composition menu on the management menu screen of the owned character. In this enhanced composition, the composition source character and the material character are selected from the characters owned by the player by the selection operation by the player. For example, in enhanced composition, a certain number (for example, 20) or less of material characters are selected for one composition source character.

Further, in the enhanced synthesis according to the first embodiment, instead of consuming the selected material character, the parameters of the selected synthesis source character are changed so that the game (for example, quest) is advantageous. For example, when a material character of a type different from that of the synthesis source character is enhancedly synthesized with respect to the synthesis source character, the parameter of the synthesis source character is increased.

Further, the evolutionary synthesis according to the first embodiment can be executed by the player selecting and operating the evolutionary synthesis menu on the management menu screen of the owned character. In this evolutionary synthesis, the synthesis source character and the material character are selected from the possessed characters of the player by the selection operation of the synthesis source character by the player. For example, in evolutionary synthesis, a certain number (for example, 5) of material characters associated with the synthesis source character in advance are selected for one synthesis source character.

Further, in the evolutionary synthesis according to the first embodiment, instead of consuming the selected material character, the selected synthesis source character is evolved (changed) to another character. In other words, the synthesis source character is associated with the character ID of another character by evolutionary synthesis, and the character's name, image, skill, rarity, and the like change. This synthesis source character is called a pre-evolution character. This other character is referred to as the evolved character. In the first embodiment, the post-evolution character has a rarity set one higher than that of the pre-evolution character, and the upper limit of the parameter is higher than that of the pre-evolution character, for example.

The possessed character information includes the character ID and parameters of each owned character. Parameters include level, hit points, offensive power, defensive power, and the like. The level increases (changes) when the character (composite source character) gains character experience points by compositing. As the level goes up, hit points, attack power, defense power, character experience points, etc. also go up. The formation information includes a predetermined number (for example, seven) of teams previously organized by the player. Each team includes, for example, owned characters of a predetermined number (for example, three) or less selected in advance by the player. The owned item information includes the number of owned items in association with the item ID of each owned item. Examples of this item include paid stones and free stones. The stamina information includes the player's current stamina value and the stamina upper limit value. The current stamina value is the value consumed when the player executes the quest. This current stamina value increases by a predetermined amount (for example, 1) with the passage of time (for example, 3 minutes) and recovers to the stamina upper limit value. In addition, the current stamina value is restored to the same amount as the stamina upper limit value when the player consumes paid stones, free stones, stamina recovery items, and the like. This upper limit of stamina increases as the player rank of the player increases. The player rank increases when a player gains player experience points, for example, by playing a quest. The friend information includes the player IDs of other players registered as friends.

The character information 50B is stored for each character in association with the character ID of the character. The character information 50B includes, for example, a character name, an image, a rarity, an initial value and an upper limit value of a parameter, a skill, and an available time. Rarity includes, for example, a number from 1 to 6. This number may be indicated, for example, by the number of stars. For example, for a character with high rarity, a parameter or an upper limit of the parameter is set high. The available time includes the time when the character becomes available, that is, the time when the character is added. This time is, for example, the time when the game operation is started or the time when the game is updated. For example, the available time of the character X includes January 2015 when the character X was added by the start of the game operation.

The lottery game information 50C is stored in association with the lottery game ID of the lottery game for each lottery game. The lottery game information 50C includes, for example, a name (title), an image, lottery target information, and consideration. The lottery target information includes the character ID of each character constituting the lottery target character group that is the lottery target of the lottery game, and the lottery probability associated with the character ID. This lottery target includes a plurality of characters having different available times. As for the lottery probability, a low probability is set for a character with a high rarity, and a high probability is set for a character with a low rarity. In this lottery probability, a character (pickup character) having a higher lottery probability than other characters in the same rarity may be provided. The consideration includes the number of items (consumption amount) required to execute one lottery.

The quest information 50D is stored in association with the quest ID of the quest for each quest. This quest information 50D includes, for example, a name (title), an image, appearance character information, consumption stamina value, clearing conditions, reward information, executable time, and preferential time. Appearing character information includes parameters (level, hit points, etc.) of enemy characters appearing in the quest. The consumption stamina value is the stamina value required to execute the quest. Clearing conditions include clearing criteria for quests. Examples of the clearing condition include setting the hit points of all enemy characters to 0 or less, occupying the territory of the enemy character, and the like. The reward information includes information on the reward given to the player when the quest is cleared. This reward information includes, for example, the character ID of the character as a reward, the grant level of the character, the grant rate (drop rate) which is the probability of granting the character, the number of game coins, the amount of player experience value, and free items. The number etc. are included. The executable time includes the time when the quest becomes executable, that is, the time when the quest is added. This time is, for example, the time when the game operation is started or the time when the game is updated. For example, the executable time of quest E includes March 2015 when the quest E was added by the first update from the start of game operation. Further, for example, the executable time of quest G includes December 2015 when the quest G was added by the fifth update from the start of game operation. Further, for example, the executable time of Quest R includes April 2018 when the Quest R was added by the 25th update from the start of game operation. The preferential treatment period includes a predetermined period for preferential treatment of remuneration. In the first embodiment, if the available time of the character used in the quest is earlier than the predetermined time, the reward of the quest is given preferential treatment. For example, the preferential time (predetermined time) of Quest E includes March 2015, which is the same as the feasible time of Quest E. Further, for example, the preferential treatment period of Quest G includes May 2016, which is 6 months after the execution period of Quest G. Further, for example, the preferential treatment period of Quest R includes April 2017, which is one year before the execution period of the Quest R.

The determination means 52 is a functional means for determining the character to be used (content to be used) used by the player in the quest. In the first embodiment, the determination means 52 determines the character to be used in one quest, which is an existing quest, from one or a plurality of characters associated with the player. For example, the determination means 52 determines, for example, a predetermined number (for example, three) of characters selected by the player from the possessed characters as the characters to be used. In addition to the characters owned by the player, examples of the characters associated with the player include characters owned by other players registered as friends by the player, characters lent to the player by the game operator, and the like. Be done.

The execution means 54 is a functional means for executing a quest based on an execution instruction (request) by the player. In the first embodiment, the execution means 54 executes one quest selected by the player based on the parameters of the used character determined by the determination means 52.

The determination means 56 is a functional means for performing various determinations. In the first embodiment, the determination means 56 determines whether or not the used character determined by the determination means 52 satisfies a predetermined condition. This predetermined condition is, for example, whether or not the character to be used is an existing character that became available before the preferential time (predetermined time) corresponding to the quest. Specifically, the determination means 56 refers to the available time of the character information 50B and the preferential time of the quest information 50D, and the available time of the used character is before the preferential time corresponding to one quest. If so, affirm the decision.

The granting means 58 is a functional means for giving a reward to the player. In the first embodiment, the granting means 58 rewards the player according to the fact that the clearing condition is satisfied in one quest executed by the executing means 54. This reward includes, for example, free items (free stones and free gacha tickets) and characters. The granting means 58 refers to the reward information of the quest information 50D, and grants the character according to the character's grant rate (drop rate). Examples of this character include a character that became available before the preferential treatment period (predetermined time) of one quest, and a character that became available after the preferential treatment period.

Further, the granting means 58 gives preferential treatment to the reward of one quest when the used character determined by the determining means 52 satisfies the predetermined condition. For example, when the determination means 56 determines that a part or all of the characters used are existing characters that became available before the preferential time (predetermined time) of one quest, the granting means 58 is one. Preferential rewards for quests.

In the following, a specific example in which the granting means 58 gives preferential treatment to the reward will be described. Each of these specific examples may be combined.

(1) Include a new character in the reward For example, the granting means 58 gives a preferential treatment to include a new character that has become available in the update after the preferential time (predetermined time) of the executed one quest. Specifically, when a part or all of the characters used are existing characters, the granting means 58 rewards the characters added after the preferential treatment period. On the other hand, when a part or all of the characters used is not an existing character, the granting means 58 rewards the character added before the preferential time of one quest executed.

(2) Include the execution right of the lottery game in which the new character is the target of the lottery in the reward For example, the granting means 58 is newly available by updating after the preferential time (predetermined time) of one executed quest. Preferential treatment is given to include the execution right of the lottery game (for example, free stones, free gacha tickets) in which the characters are included in the lottery. Specifically, when a part or all of the characters used are existing characters, the granting means 58 gives the right to execute the lottery game in which the characters added after the preferential treatment period are part or all of the lottery targets. Add to the reward. On the other hand, the granting means 58 does not add the execution right of the lottery game to the reward when a part or all of the characters used are not existing characters.

(3) Strengthening the parameter of the character as a reward For example, the granting means 58 gives preferential treatment to strengthen the parameter of the character as a reward. Specifically, when all of the characters used are existing characters, the granting means 58 sets the level of the reward character to 99, which is the upper limit, and grants the player to the player. On the other hand, when all the characters used are not existing characters, the granting means 58 sets the level of the reward character to 1, which is the initial value, and grants the player to the player. When a part or all of the characters used are existing characters, the granting means 58 may grant the player by raising the upper limit of the level of the character as a reward.

(4) Evolving the reward character For example, the granting means 58 gives preferential treatment to evolve the reward character. Specifically, when a part of the characters to be used is an existing character, the granting means 58 gives the reward character to the player as an evolved character. On the other hand, when a part of the characters to be used is not an existing character, the granting means 58 grants the reward character to the player as it is.

(5) Increasing the amount of reward For example, the granting means 58 gives preferential treatment to increase the amount of reward. Specifically, the granting means 58 grants five free items as rewards when a part or all of the characters used are existing characters. On the other hand, when a part or all of the characters used is not an existing character, the granting means 58 grants one item as a reward.

(6) Increasing the grant rate of the character as a reward For example, the granting means 58 gives preferential treatment to increase the grant rate (drop rate) of the character as a reward. Specifically, the granting means 58 raises the reward character granting rate from 50% to 100% when all of the characters used are existing characters. On the other hand, the granting means 58 does not change the granting rate of the reward character from 50% when all the characters used are not existing characters.

In addition, the granting means 58 gives preferential treatment to the characters used determined by the determining means 52 so that the more existing characters that became available before the preferential time (predetermined time) of one quest are included. .. Specifically, the granting means 58 grants one free item as a reward when the number of existing characters is one or less among the three characters used. Further, the granting means 58 grants five free items as rewards when two existing characters are among the three characters used. Further, when the three characters used are existing characters, the granting means 58 grants 10 free items as rewards.
