Next, the operation of the video game processing system 100 (system 100) of this example will be described.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a game process executed by the system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the game processing in this example, selection of the owned game medium is accepted, and processing directly or indirectly related to specifying the basic game medium corresponding to the owned game medium for which the selection is accepted and the game element is performed. The contents of the processing not related to the present invention may be omitted. Hereinafter, a case where the server 10 and the user terminal 201 (terminal 201) execute game processing will be described as an example.

The game process is started, for example, when the terminal 201 receives a request to start a video game.

In the game process, first, the terminal 201 receives the battle start request (step S101). In this example, the terminal 201 receives, for example, a battle start request when a predetermined battle start operation (for example, a battle start button pressing operation displayed on the display screen of the display device provided by the terminal 201) is received. To do.

When the terminal 201 receives the battle start request, it generates a battle start request and transmits the generated battle start request to the server 10 (step S102). In this example, the terminal 201 transmits a battle start request presenting the player ID to the server 10.

Upon receiving the battle start request, the server 10 identifies the owned game medium (step S103). In this example, the server 10 refers to the player information storage unit 11b based on the player ID presented in the process of step S102, and identifies the owned game medium corresponding to the presented player ID.

When the server 10 specifies the owned game medium, the server 10 generates the owned game medium selection screen information and transmits the generated owned game medium selection screen information to the terminal 201 (step S104). In this example, the server 10 generates, for example, information for displaying the owned game media in a selectable list as the owned game media selection screen information. In this example, the possessed game medium selection screen has one purpose of allowing the player to select a predetermined number of game media from the owned game media. Therefore, the configuration of the owned game medium selection screen is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the owned game medium can be recognized by the player. An example of the configuration of the owned game medium selection screen is a configuration in which a part of the owned game medium (for example, a basic game medium) is displayed. Further, it is preferable that the owned game medium selection screen information includes the game medium information corresponding to the owned game medium in order to specify the selected owned game medium by the game medium ID.

When the terminal 201 receives the owned game medium selection screen information, the terminal 201 displays the owned game medium selection screen based on the received owned game medium selection screen information (step S105). In this example, when the terminal 201 receives the owned game medium selection screen information, the terminal 201 displays the owned game medium selection screen on the display screen of the display device provided by the terminal 201.

When the terminal 201 displays the owned game medium selection screen, it accepts the selection of the owned game medium and transmits the accepted selection result to the server 10 (step S106). In this example, the terminal 201 accepts the selection of a predetermined number (for example, 5) of the owned game media among the displayed owned game media, and presents the game medium ID corresponding to the owned game media for which the selection is accepted. The selection result is transmitted to the server 10.

Upon receiving the selection result, the server 10 identifies the basic game medium and the game element (step S107). In this example, the server 10 refers to the game medium information storage unit 11a based on the game medium ID presented in the process of step S106, and obtains the basic game medium and the game element corresponding to the presented game medium ID. Identify.

When the server 10 identifies the basic game medium and the game element, the server 10 executes a battle process for realizing a battle with an enemy character in response to a player's operation input (step S200). The battle process will be described later.

When the server 10 executes the battle process, the battle result screen information is generated, and the generated battle result screen information is transmitted to the terminal 201 (step S108). In this example, the server 10 generates, for example, information for displaying the battle result and the privilege (item, territory, bonus point, etc.) given to the player as the battle result screen information, and the generated battle result. The screen information is transmitted to the terminal 201, and the process here ends.

When the terminal 201 receives the battle result screen information, the terminal 201 displays the battle result screen based on the received battle result screen information (step S109). In this example, when the terminal 201 receives the battle result screen information, the terminal 201 displays the battle result screen on the display screen of the display device provided by the terminal 201.

When the terminal 201 displays the battle result screen, it determines whether or not to end the game (step S110). In this example, if it is determined that the terminal 201 does not end the game by accepting a predetermined game continuation operation (for example, pressing the game continuation button displayed on the battle result screen) (N in step S110), The process proceeds to step S101.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the terminal 201 ends the game by accepting a predetermined game end operation (for example, pressing the game end button displayed on the battle result screen) (Y in step S110), The terminal 201 ends the game and ends the process here.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a battle process executed by the system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the battle process in this example, the player character corresponding to the basic game medium specified in the process of step S107 is displayed on the display screen of the display device, and the player character is activated to play against the enemy character (battle). ) Is performed directly or indirectly. The contents of the processing not related to the present invention may be omitted.

In the battle process, the server 10 first extracts the game element (step S201). In this example, the server 10 extracts a predetermined number (for example, six) of selectable game elements from the game elements specified in the process of step S107. The game element may be extracted by extracting at least one game element for each basic game medium specified in the process of step S107, or by including a basic game medium in which the game element is not extracted. May be good.

When the server 10 extracts a predetermined number of game elements, it generates game element selection screen information and transmits the generated game element selection screen information to the terminal 201 (step S202). Here, the game element selection screen information means information for displaying the game elements in a selectable manner. In this example, the server 10 generates, for example, information for displaying the extracted game elements in a selectable list as game element selection screen information, and transmits the generated game element selection screen information to the terminal 201.

When the terminal 201 receives the game element selection screen information, the terminal 201 displays the game element selection screen based on the received game element selection screen information (step S203). In this example, the terminal 201 displays the received game element selection screen (see FIG. 7) on the display screen of the display device provided by the terminal 201 based on the received game element selection screen information.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a game element selection screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, when the video game processing device (for example, the terminal 201) includes the display screen 700, the terminal 201 displays the game element selection screen on the display screen 700 and accepts the selection of the game element. May be.

In this example, the game element selection screen displays an area (basic game medium display area) 701 for displaying the basic game medium specified in the process of step S107 and a game element extracted in the process of step S201. An area (game element display area) 702 is provided.

When the terminal 201 displays the game element selection screen, it accepts the selection of the game element by the player and transmits the accepted selection result to the server 10 (step S204). In this example, the terminal 201 accepts the selection of a predetermined number (for example, three) of the plurality of (for example, six) game elements displayed in the game element display area 702 by the player, and accepts the selection. The selection result of presenting the game media IDs corresponding to a predetermined number of game elements is transmitted to the server 10.

Upon receiving the selection result, the server 10 identifies the effect corresponding to the game element (step S205). In this example, the server 10 refers to the game media information storage unit 11a based on the game media ID presented in the process of step S204, and identifies the effect corresponding to the presented game media ID.

When the server 10 identifies the effect corresponding to the game element, the server 10 activates the effect (step S206). In this example, when the effect is specified, the server 10 activates the effect corresponding to the game element in the order in which the selection of the game element is accepted in the process of step S204, for example.

When the effect is activated, the server 10 determines whether or not to continue the battle (step S207). In this example, it is determined that the server 10 does not end the battle because it satisfies the predetermined battle continuation requirement (for example, the HP of all enemy characters or the HP of all basic game media is higher than 0). Then (N in step S207), the battle is continued and the process proceeds to step S201.

On the other hand, when the server 10 determines that the battle is not continued because the predetermined battle continuation requirement described above is not satisfied (Y in step S207), the server 10 ends the battle and ends the process here. ..

Next, an outline of an example of a video game in which the system 100 controls the progress in one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The video game in this example is a so-called national theft game set in the Chinese (China) continent during the Three Kingdoms period. In addition, the video game has the theme of "Battle of the Three Kingdoms" and presents "Unification of China" to the player as the final goal (or also called the game clearing condition). Here, "Chinese unification" means that all the squares of the Chinese continent (Chinese unification map) divided into a plurality of squares arranged in the virtual space are owned territories that are their own territories. Is. In addition, in order to make each square a possession territory, the player must battle with an enemy character in each square and win the battle.

In the video game, the player uses a military commander who was active in the Three Kingdoms era as a player character to perform a turn-based battle with an enemy character.

First, the player builds a deck to be used in the battle. In this example, the player builds a deck by selecting five from the owned game media (see the process in step S106). Further, each owned game medium is configured so that a plurality of game elements are associated with each other. That is, the deck in this example is configured such that each owned game medium includes a plurality of game elements. In this example, a deck having such a configuration is referred to as a "nested deck".

Next, the player selects one square that he / she wants to be his / her territory. Upon accepting the selection of the squares, for example, the terminal 201 displays the game element selection screen as shown in FIG. 7 and starts the battle process (step S200) described above. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

In FIG. 7, in the basic game medium display area 701, five player characters (military commanders) corresponding to the basic game medium specified in the process of step S107 are displayed. Further, in the game element display area 702, each of the six game elements (actions executed by the military commander) extracted in the process of step S201 is displayed as a virtual hand. Here, the virtual hand means a hand used in the virtual space. The virtual hand may be configured so that the game element name is displayed. Further, although not shown, the virtual hand may be configured to display a player character that executes a game element. With such a configuration, the player can play the video game with tactics such as which military commander should perform which action. On the other hand, the virtual hand may be configured so that the player character executing the game element is not displayed (that is, the player does not know which military commander executes which action). With such a configuration, the player can execute the video game with a simple operation of selecting only the game elements, so that the game can be developed more intuitively and with a sense of speed. ..

Further, the game element selection screen is provided with an area (enemy character attack display area) 703 in which the name of the enemy character's attack executed in the turn of the enemy character is displayed. With such a configuration, the player can select the game element after reading the tactics of the enemy character in advance and formulating the tactics related to his / her turn. Further, the game element selection screen is provided with an area (battle area) 704 for displaying a battle area composed of a plurality of squares. In addition, the army of each military commander and the army of the enemy character are arranged in each square. By selecting 3 game elements from the 6 game elements displayed in the game element display area 702 on his / her turn, the player causes each military commander or the army of each military commander to perform an action. Attack the enemy character by activating the effect.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing another example of the game element selection screen according to the embodiment of the present invention, and is a predetermined number displayed in the game element display area 702 shown in FIG. 7 by a player operating the terminal 201. An example is shown when the selection of a game element is accepted. Further, in this example, it is assumed that the game elements that have received the selection are "fire meter", "charge", and "detection" in the order in which the selection is received by the player who operates the terminal 201. As shown in FIG. 8, the display screen 800 may be configured to display a predetermined number of game elements for which selection is accepted in the game element display area 801 in a color different from that for game elements for which selection is not accepted. ..

As shown in FIG. 8, the display screen 800 has a basic game medium display area 801 and a game element display area 802, an area for displaying military commander A's military a (military commander a display area) 801a, and military commander B's military. An area for displaying b (military b display area) 801b is provided. The names of the military commanders displayed in the basic game medium display area 801 are military commander A, military commander B, military commander C, military commander D, and military commander E in order from the top. Further, it is assumed that "fire meter" is associated with military commander A, and "charge" and "detection" are associated with military commander B. It is assumed that a plurality of "shooting arrows" and "crane wings" are associated with each of the military commander C and the military commander D.

When the server 10 specifies the effect corresponding to the game element in the process of step S206, the server 10 activates the effect corresponding to the game element in the order in which the selection of the game element is accepted in the process of step S204, for example. More specifically, the server 10 first executes a process of "reducing the HP of the enemy character by 10", which is an effect corresponding to the "fire meter", to the military commander A or the military a. Next, the warlord B or the army b is subjected to the process of "reducing the HP of the enemy character by 15", which is an effect corresponding to the "charge". Finally, the warlord B or the army b is subjected to the process of "reducing the HP of the enemy character by 10", which is an effect corresponding to "detection". Although not shown, the server 10 may be configured to perform a predetermined effect accompanying the activation of the effect when the effect is activated. For the predetermined effect accompanying the activation of the effect, for example, when the effect corresponding to the "fire meter" is activated, the effect of displaying a flame in the area where the enemy character is displayed and the "charge" are supported. When activating the effect, there is an effect of advancing the army by one square from the current position of the grid displayed in the battle area 704.

When the effect corresponding to the game element is activated, the server 10 activates the effect by the enemy character (that is, executes an attack by the enemy character). The server 10 controls the progress of the turn-based battle in this way.

Further, the video game in this example has two types of game modes, a single mode and a unified Chinese mode.

First, the single mode will be described. The single mode means a mode in which a player aims to unify China independently without playing against other players or playing cooperatively. In this mode, the enemy character is, for example, a non-player character (NPC) controlled by the server 10. In addition, the owned territory will not be robbed by NPCs. With such a configuration, the player can play the video game with peace of mind without worrying about being robbed of his territory.

Next, the Chinese unified mode will be described. The Chinese unification mode means a mode in which multiple players form a guild (synonymous with a group) and all guild members aim to unify China while capturing guild-only quests. That is, in this mode, the Chinese unified map is shared among the guild members. Also in this mode, the enemy character is an NPC, and a battle (a type of quest) with the enemy character according to the level of the guild is executed. With such a configuration, even a weak guild, for example, can enjoy a victory commensurate with the level. In addition, all guild members play together toward one goal of unifying China, so when you win, you can feel the joy of sharing joy. In this mode, PvP (Player versus Player), that is, a configuration in which a battle is performed between a plurality of guilds may be used. In this example, the server 10 counts only the number of wins by PvP and generates a ranking according to the number of wins. Therefore, each guild has no demerit of defeat and can easily battle and compete for ranking.

In addition, in the video game in this example, it is possible to raise a country consisting of military commanders and owned territories. There are two ways to raise a military commander: to raise the level of the military commander in battles and gachas, and to collect a lot of military commanders and strengthen them synthetically. In addition, there is a method of raising a country by occupying military facilities existing in the Chinese continent and strengthening the occupied military facilities by battles and gachas.

As described above, as one aspect of the above-described embodiment, a video game processing device (for example, a server 10) that controls the progress of a video game is a game in which a plurality of game elements are previously associated with a basic game medium. A storage means (for example, a game medium information storage unit 11a) for storing game medium information including a medium is provided, the game medium information is referred to, and a plurality of game elements associated with the basic game medium are selected according to a predetermined rule. Since a predetermined number of selectable game elements are extracted (for example, step S107 and step S201), it is possible to provide a means capable of improving the taste of the video game.

That is, the video game processing device is configured to extract a predetermined number of selectable game elements from a plurality of game elements associated with the basic game medium, so that the player can use the plurality of game elements. It is possible to create a situation in which it is not known which game element is extracted from the video game, and it becomes possible to provide a means capable of improving the taste of the video game. In addition, the progress of the video game can be changed according to the extracted game elements.

Although not particularly mentioned in the example of the above-described embodiment, the game medium may be an item or a player character used in the video game in addition to the virtual card. When the game medium is an item, the basic game medium is, for example, attributes such as the attack power and defense power of the player character, and the game element is, for example, increasing the attack power by 5 or increasing the defense power by 10. It may be an effect corresponding to the attribute of the player character such as. On the other hand, when the game medium is a player character, the basic game medium may be, for example, a command that can be executed by the player character, and the game element may be, for example, an effect when the player character executes the command.

Further, as one aspect of the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device (for example, the server 10) is configured to extract a predetermined number of selectable game elements based on random numbers as a predetermined rule (for example, step S201). Therefore, each time a game element is extracted, a plurality of different game elements can be randomly extracted each time, and it becomes possible to easily bring about a change in the progress of the video game.

Further, as one aspect of the above-described embodiment, the video game processing device (for example, terminal 201) displays and displays the extracted predetermined number of selectable game elements (for example, step S203, display screen 700). The selection of selectable game elements is accepted (for example, step S204, display screen 800), and the progress of the video game is updated in response to the acceptance of selection of selectable game elements (for example, step S206). Since it is configured, it becomes possible to change the progress of the video game with a simple configuration of simply selecting the extracted game elements.

In the example of the above-described embodiment, the case where the video game processing device (for example, the terminal 201) displays the selectable game elements has been described as an example. However, the video game processing device may be configured to display information (for example, basic game medium) corresponding to the game element. In this case, for example, a video game processing device displays two or more basic game media to which one or more different game elements are associated with each other, and a player for at least two or more basic game media among the displayed two or more basic game media.
