[Program execution process]
Next, the program execution process according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a program execution process corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention.

When the computer device 1 executes the program, a menu (not shown) that can be selected by the user is displayed on the display screen 23. The user can execute the processing of various programs by selecting the displayed menu. The menu can be selected by using the input unit 20. The menu includes object setting processing that associates other objects with objects owned by the operation character that can be operated by the user, equipment object enhancement processing that enhances the equipment object of the operation character and changes the attributes of the equipment object, and operation. At least a modified object generation process that creates a modified object from an object owned by the character is included.

[Object setting process]
First, the case where the menu related to the object setting is selected will be described. When the user selects the object setting menu, the computer device 1 executes the object setting process 200 (step S100).

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of an object setting process corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. The computer device 1 displays equipment objects to which other objects can be associated in a manner selectable by the user. When the user selects an equipment object to be associated with another object (modification object) from the displayed objects, the computer device 1 accepts the selection by the equipment object selection reception unit 201 (step S101).

Subsequently, the computer device 1 displays the modified object associated with the equipment object selected in step S101 in a manner selectable by the user. When the user selects an object to be associated from the displayed modified objects, the computer device 1 accepts the selection by the modified object selection receiving unit 202 (step S102).

Here, the attributes of the equipment object will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram representing an equipment object data table corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. In the equipment object data table 500, at least the number of slots 502, the number of empty slots 503, the rank 504, the attack power 505, and the grant attribute 506 are stored in association with the equipment object 501. The equipment object 501 stored in the equipment object data table may represent an equipment object owned by the user's operating character.

The number of slots 502 is the number of slots possessed by the equipment object 501, and is a preset value. There may be equipment objects that do not have slots, such as the "knife" shown. A modified object cannot be associated with an equipment object that does not have a slot set in this way.

The number of empty slots 503 represents the number of usable slots among the slots possessed by the equipment object 501. That is, when there is a difference between the number of slots 502 and the number of empty slots 503, it means that the equipment object 501 is set with a modified object that already uses the slots.

Rank 504 is an index showing the value of the equipment object 501. The higher the value of rank 504, the higher the parameters of the equipment object or the higher the selling price. The attack power 505 is one of the parameters representing the performance of the equipment object 501, and when the character equips the equipment object and executes a predetermined action (for example, an attack on an enemy character), the attack power 505 becomes a parameter of the character. It is added and affects the action result. The attack power 505 is an example of the parameters possessed by the equipment object, and is not limited to this.

The grant attribute 506 is one of the attributes representing the performance of the equipment object 501, and affects the action result when the character equips the equipment object and executes a predetermined action such as an attack. For example, when a character equipped with an equipment object whose grant attribute 506 is "fire" attacks an enemy character, the effect of burning the enemy character can be activated in addition to the damage given to the enemy character.

The grant attribute 506 is an attribute expressed in the same format as the rank 504 or in a different format. The same format means a format in which symbols can be compared with each other, such as numerical values and alphabets. The different form means notations such as "fire", "water", and "soil" as illustrated. That is, it is not possible to compare each other's symbols as they are, for example, refer to predetermined superiority and inferiority criteria such as "fire" is weak against "water" and "light" is strong against "darkness". By doing so, it is a format that can be compared.

Next, the modified object will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a modified object master table corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. In the modified object master table 550, at least the required number of slots 552, the equipment object condition 553, the rank 554, the attribute 555, and the effect 556 are stored in association with the modified object 551.

The required number of slots 552 is the number of slots used when setting the modified object as the equipment object. The equipment object condition 553 is a condition that enables the modified object 551 to be combined with the equipment object when the equipment object is satisfied. Rank 554 is an index showing the value of the modified object 551. The higher the value of rank 554, the more advantageous results may be likely to occur in the process of generating the modified object, which will be described later.

The attribute 555 represents the attribute possessed by the modified object 551, and by being set to the equipment object, the equipment object can be influenced based on the attribute 555. By setting the effect 556 on the equipment object, it is possible to give an influence based on the effect 556 on the equipment object.

Returning to the description of the flowchart of FIG. The computer device 1 compares and associates the number of empty slots 503 of the equipment object received in step S101 with the required number of slots 552 used when associating the modified object received in step S102 by the slot condition determination unit 203. (Step S103). When the number of empty slots 503 is 552 or more of the required number of slots (YES in step S103), whether or not the computer device 1 satisfies the equipment object condition 553 set for the modified object by the association condition determination unit 204. (Step S104). When the number of empty slots 503 is less than the required number of slots 552 (NO in step S103), for example, an error message is displayed and the setting process is terminated.

The case where YES is set in step S103 is, for example, the case where the modified object 551 is "gear A" (the required number of slots is 1) and the equipment object 501 is the "broad sword" (the number of empty slots is 2). Is. On the other hand, when NO is set in step S103, for example, the modified object 551 is "screw C" (required number of slots is 3), and the equipment object 501 is "diamond dagger" (number of empty slots is 2). There is a case.

Next, when the computer device 1 determines that the equipment object condition 553 of the modified object is satisfied (YES in step S104), the computer device 1 associates the modified object with the equipment object by the modified object association unit 205. (Step S105), the effect is expressed by the effect expression unit 206 (step S106), and the process is completed. If it is determined that the equipment object condition 553 of the modified object is not satisfied (NO in step S104), for example, an error message is displayed and the setting process is terminated.

For example, when the effect of the modified object is "+100 attack power", the effect manifestation unit 206 expresses the effect of "+100" the parameter of "attack power" of the equipped object. It is represented by. Alternatively, a conditional effect related to the equipment object may be expressed, such that the effect possessed by the modified object is "when the granted attribute is combined with the equipment of rain, an attack independent of the attribute is possible".

In the equipment object condition 553, for example, a relationship with the rank 504 of the equipment object is set. When the modified object 551 is "Gear A", it can be set if the rank 504 of the equipped object is "1 or more".

Alternatively, the equipment object condition 553 may have a relationship with, for example, the grant attribute 506 of the equipment object. When the modified object 551 is "screw A", it can be set if the given attribute 506 of the equipment object is "fire". Further, the equipment object condition 553 may have a relationship with, for example, the attack power 505 of the equipment object. If the modified object 551 has an attack power of 505 of the equipment object such as "screw C", it can be set.

The equipment object condition 553 set in the modified object may be related to any of the attributes included in the equipment object. The attributes included in the equipment object may include not only the information shown in FIG. 9 but also other parameters such as defense power, vitality, and evasion power.

[Equipment object enhancement process]
Next, the case where the menu related to the enhancement of the equipment object is selected will be described. When the user selects the menu related to the enhancement of the equipment object, the computer device 1 executes the equipment object enhancement process 210 (step S200).

FIG. 11 is a flowchart of equipment object strengthening processing corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. The computer device 1 displays the equipment object owned by the user's operating character in a manner selectable by the user. When the user selects the equipment object to be strengthened from the displayed objects, the computer device 1 accepts the selection by the strengthening source equipment object selection receiving unit 211 (step S201).

Subsequently, the computer device 1 displays the object used when strengthening the equipment object selected in step S201 in a manner selectable by the user. When the user selects an object to be used from the displayed objects, the computer device 1 accepts the selection by the used object selection receiving unit 212 (step S202).

Subsequently, the computer device 1 determines whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied when the object received in step S202 is used for the equipment object received in step S201 by the rank increase determination unit 213 (). Step S203).

The predetermined condition is determined by, for example, whether or not the object received in step S202 is converted into points and added to the points (also referred to as experience points) accumulated in the equipment object, and the predetermined threshold value is exceeded. You may.

Alternatively, the predetermined condition may be, for example, that the equipment object received in step S201 and the object received in step S202 are the same object. In this way, the condition may be a so-called "limit breakthrough" in which the same objects are used to strengthen (also called evolution) the objects.

When it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied (YES in step S203), the computer device 1 raises the rank of the equipment object received in step S201 by the rank rise processing unit 214 (step S204). Then, the object received in step S202 may be extinguished.

As the rank of the equipment object increases, the parameters of the equipment object may be changed to the parameters according to the rank. Alternatively, as the rank increases, the number of slots 502 of the equipped object may be increased. That is, by increasing the number of empty slots 503, it becomes possible to associate a modified object that could not be associated so far.

Increasing the rank means, for example, that the equipment object whose rank was "1" becomes rank "2". Alternatively, increasing the rank may mean strengthening the attributes of the equipped object. For example, when the attribute of the equipment object is "darkness", it changes to the attribute set to be higher than "darkness" such as "darkness of jet black" or "darkness of the demon world". You may do so.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined condition is not satisfied (NO in step S203), for example, an error message is displayed and the process ends.

[Modified object generation process]
Next, a case where a menu related to the modified object generation process for generating the modified object from the object owned by the operation character is selected will be described. When the user selects the modified object generation menu, the computer device 1 executes the modified object generation process 220 (step S300).

FIG. 12 is a flowchart of a modified object generation process corresponding to at least one of the embodiments of the present invention. The computer device 1 displays a generation object for generating a modified object in a manner selectable by the user. When the user selects an object from the displayed objects, the computer device 1 accepts the selection by the generation object selection reception unit 221 (step S301). The object accepted in step S301 may be an equipment object, a modified object, or another object.

Subsequently, the computer device 1 generates a modified object based on the object selected in step S301 (step S302), and ends. At this time, the object selected in step S301 may disappear.

As an example, the object accepted in step S301 may be a plurality of modified objects. Then, among the plurality of modified objects received in step S301, the modified object generated in step S302 may be designed to have a higher rank than the modified object having the highest rank.

Further, the modified object generated in step S302 may be generated according to the rank of the object selected in step S301. Alternatively, in step S301, a plurality of objects may be selectable so that modified objects are generated according to the number of objects or the total rank.

As an example of the third embodiment, the maximum value set in the number of slots of the equipment object may be set in advance. The set maximum value may not change regardless of the rank of the equipped object. That is, the association condition regarding the number of slots of the equipment object may be satisfied in advance. By doing so, it becomes easy to assume a modified object that can be associated with the equipment object while restricting the association of the modified object with the equipment object, and the object can be grown systematically.

As an example of the third embodiment, in principle, the modification object may not be disassociated from the equipment object associated with the modification object. By doing so, it is possible to provide a new method of associating objects, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in user's taste. In addition, the association between the modified object and the equipment object may be released by using a predetermined item.

As an example of the third embodiment, the modified object may be made available by defeating a so-called boss character.
