FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a system configuration of a game system 1 according to an embodiment. The game system 1 includes a game server 10 and a plurality of terminals 20. The game server 10 and the terminal 20 are connected to each other so as to be able to communicate with each other via a communication network N such as the Internet, an intranet, a wireless LAN, or mobile communication.

The game server 10 is a device that has a part of the functions of the terminal 20 in providing the game, such as managing various information about the player and executing a part of the game. The game server 10 may be configured by one or a plurality of computers, or may be configured by using a virtual server (cloud server or the like).

The terminal 20 is a device that provides a game to a player. The terminal 20 is, for example, a computer such as a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet, a personal computer, an arcade game device, or a consumer game device. The terminal 20 notifies the game server 10 of its own position detected by using GPS (Global Positioning System) or the like.

<Game overview>
Subsequently, an outline of the game provided by the game system 1 according to the embodiment will be described. In the game provided by the game system 1, the player organizes a deck with a character selected from a plurality of owned characters, and clears a quest using the organized deck to create a new character or item. You can get it. Here, the quest is a term that means a task that can be cleared by satisfying a predetermined condition. Quests are also commonly referred to as explorations, challenges and missions. Quests are an example of a game event. In addition to quests, game events include, for example, gachas, login bonuses, missions, and so on. Gacha is a term that means an event for a player to acquire a character or an item. Items obtained by executing gacha include, for example, material items and evolution items. The player consumes an item when executing a gacha. The amount of items consumed is preset for each gacha. In addition to consuming items, the player can also execute gacha by charging or the like. That is, the gacha may include a paid gacha that requires a charge and a free gacha that does not require a charge.

Deck is a term that means a group that combines a plurality of characters. When executing a quest, the player selects a character having an ability suitable for clearing the quest, organizes a deck, and executes the quest. The game server 10 can store a plurality of decks organized by the player, and the player selects one deck from the plurality of stored decks and executes the quest at the time of executing the quest. Is also possible.

The character includes a normal character and a cheering character. A normal character is a character that can be used to advance the game. The progress of the game consumes the player's stamina. The cheering character is a character that cannot be used for the progress of the game. What can be used for the progress of the game is, for example, that it can be organized into a deck and can be played in a quest, that it can be operated as a player character, and / or that it can be trained (evolved and strengthened) by changing the game parameters. , Synthetic) means that it is possible. Unusable for the progress of the game means, for example, that it cannot be organized into a deck, that it cannot be operated as a player character, and / or that it is trained (evolved, strengthened, synthesized) by changing the game parameters. Means that you cannot. The normal character and the cheering character are examples of game objects. The normal character includes, for example, a group of cheering characters composed of two or more cheering characters (a normal character called a "group of cheering characters"). A group of cheering characters can be evolved into two stages by using predetermined items. For example, a group of cheering characters can be evolved first by using material items, and can be evolved second by using evolution items. Material items are an example of material objects, and evolution items are an example of the first privilege. The cheering character can cheer by consuming the points acquired as the game progresses. When the number of times of support of the support character reaches a predetermined number, it is possible to produce individual support using the support character. When the number of times of support for all the support characters in the same group reaches a predetermined number of times, it is possible to produce group support using the group of support characters. When the number of times of cheering of the cheering characters of all the groups reaches a predetermined number, it is possible to produce the whole cheering using the cheering characters of all the groups. Individual support is an example of the first production, and group support and overall support are examples of the second production. A cheering character whose number of cheers has reached a predetermined number of times is an example of a target object, and a group of cheering characters whose number of cheers has reached a predetermined number of times is an example of a related object. Related objects are objects that can be used to advance the game.

Players consume items when participating in quests. Players can participate in quests by consuming stamina as well as items. Players who participate in the quest can clear the quest if certain conditions are met. Also, if you clear the quest, the player will be rewarded and the story of the game will progress. The reward includes items, characters that can be used for deck formation, and the like. For example, if you clear the quest, you will get an item. The number of items that can be acquired when clearing a quest depends on the difficulty of the quest and the amount of stamina consumed by the quest.

(Game server)
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the game server 10. The game server 10 includes a game control unit 110 and a storage unit 120. The game control unit 110 can be realized by executing the program stored in the storage unit 120. Further, the program can be stored in a storage medium. The storage medium in which the program is stored may be a non-transitory computer readable medium. The non-temporary storage medium is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a storage medium such as a USB memory or a CD-ROM.

The game control unit 110 provides various functions necessary for executing the game. The game control unit 110 includes a management unit 111, a reception unit 112, a game processing unit 113, and a display control unit 114. The storage unit 120 stores the normal character DB 121, the support character DB 122, the owned character management DB 123, and the item management DB 124.

The management unit 111 manages the game medium possessed by the player. The management unit 111 consumes the game medium according to the designation of the game event that consumes the game medium.

The reception unit 112 receives various inputs. The reception unit 112 receives, for example, the designation of the support character.

The game processing unit 113 makes it possible to change a related object associated with one or more target objects whose right (number of times that can be supported) consumption status satisfies a predetermined condition among one or more game objects to a predetermined state. 1 Give a privilege to the player. The game processing unit 113 gives the player, for example, an evolution item used for secondly evolving a group of cheering characters composed of two or more cheering characters in which the number of cheering times in the same group is a predetermined number or more. The evolution item is an example of the first privilege.

When the player owns the related object, the game processing unit 113 changes the related object to a predetermined state when the first privilege is given. For example, when the player owns a group of cheering characters as a normal character and an evolution item is given, the game processing unit 113 secondly evolves the group of cheering characters.

When the related object changes from the first state to the second state, the game processing unit 113 can change the related object from the second state to the third state on condition that the player is given the first privilege. do. For example, when the group of cheering characters has evolved first, the game processing unit 113 secondarily evolves the group of cheering characters on condition that the player has been given an evolution item. The first evolution is an example of the change from the first state to the second state, and the second evolution is an example of the change from the second state to the third state.

The game processing unit 113 presents information for acquiring the related object when the player does not own the related object when the first privilege is given. For example, when the evolution item is given to the player, the game processing unit 113 presents the player with information for acquiring the group of cheering characters as normal characters when the player does not own the group of cheering characters. ..

The game processing unit 113 changes the related object from the first state to the second state when the related object has not changed from the first state to the second state when the first privilege is given to the player. If the player does not have the material object used to make it, the player is shown how to obtain the material object, and if the player has the material object, the player is used to use the material object. Recommend. The game processing unit 113 is, for example, a material used when the group of cheering characters is first evolved when the evolution item is given to the player and the group of cheering characters is not first evolved. If the player does not have the item, the player is presented with how to obtain the material item. On the other hand, when the player possesses a material item used for first evolving the group of cheering characters, the game processing unit 113 recommends the player to use the material item. Material items are an example of material objects.

When the first privilege is given to the player, the game processing unit 113 presents to the player how to obtain the related object if the player does not have the related object corresponding to the first privilege. For example, when the evolution item is given to the player, the game processing unit 113 presents to the player how to obtain the support character group when the player does not have the support character group corresponding to the evolution item. do.

The game processing unit 113 recommends that the player preferentially obtain the related object that can be obtained as the game progresses, as compared with the related object that can be obtained for a fee. For example, the game processing unit 113 recommends that the player preferentially obtain the group of cheering characters that can be obtained as the game progresses, as compared with the group of cheering characters that can be obtained for a fee.

After changing the related object from the first state to the second state, the game processing unit 113 specifies the target object that does not satisfy the predetermined condition corresponding to the related object when the first privilege is not given. Recommended for. For example, after the group of cheering characters is first evolved, the game processing unit 113 recommends to the player the designation of the cheering characters whose number of cheering has not reached the predetermined number in the group when the evolution item is not given. ..

If the player does not have the first privilege corresponding to the related object after the player obtains the related object, the game processing unit 113 specifies to the player the target object that does not satisfy the predetermined condition corresponding to the related object. Recommend. For example, if the player does not have the evolution item corresponding to the group of cheering characters after the player obtains the group of cheering characters, the game processing unit 113 does not reach the predetermined number of cheering times in the group. It is recommended to the player to specify the character.

The game processing unit 113 determines the related object that has changed from the first state to the second state as compared with the related object that has not changed from the first state to the second state when the right is granted to the player. It is recommended to the player to specify the target object that does not satisfy the corresponding predetermined condition with priority. For example, when the right to support a cheering character is given to the player, the game processing unit 113 gives priority to the group of cheering characters over the group of cheering characters that has not evolved first, and in the group. It is recommended to the player to specify a cheering character whose cheering count has not reached the predetermined number.

The game processing unit 113 recommends a first game event in which a player can consume a predetermined game asset and obtain a related object when the first condition is satisfied, and when the first condition is not satisfied, the game processing unit 113 recommends a predetermined game event. We recommend a second game event where you can get related objects without consuming game assets. For example, when the player's stamina is more than a predetermined amount, the game processing unit 113 recommends to the player a quest in which the player's stamina can be consumed to obtain a group of cheering characters, and the player's stamina is less than the predetermined amount. In some cases, we recommend players a quest that allows them to obtain a group of cheering characters without consuming the player's stamina. A player's stamina is an example of a given game asset, and a quest is an example of a game event. Further, it is an example of the first condition that the stamina of the player is a predetermined amount or more.

The game processing unit 113 changes the game assets required to acquire the right according to the parameters corresponding to the related objects. The game processing unit 113 changes, for example, the game assets required to acquire the right to support the support character according to the degree of development of the group of support characters. The degree of development of a group of cheering characters is an example of parameters corresponding to related objects. For example, when the degree of training of a group of cheering characters is relatively low, the game processing unit 113 requires the stamina of the player as a game asset for acquiring the right to support the cheering character, and fostering the group of cheering characters. If the degree is relatively high, the item may be required as a game asset for acquiring the right to support the supporting character.

The game processing unit 113 controls so that one or more target objects associated with the related objects possessed by the player can be specified as targets for consuming the granted rights, and is associated with the related objects not possessed by the player. Controls one or more target objects so that they cannot be specified as targets for consuming the granted rights. For example, the game processing unit 113 controls the cheering characters in the group possessed by the player to be designated as the target of cheering, and controls the cheering characters in the group not possessed by the player to be non-designable as the target of cheering. do.

The game processing unit 113 accepts the designation of one or more target objects that consume the granted right, and when the consumption status of the right does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the game processing unit 113 gives the player the first effect corresponding to the designated target object. When presented and the consumption status of the right satisfies a predetermined condition, a second effect corresponding to the related object associated with one or more specified target objects is presented to the player. For example, when the number of times the cheering character is cheered has not reached the predetermined number of times, the game processing unit 113 presents the cheering effect using the cheering character to the player as the first effect. Further, for example, when the number of times of cheering for each cheering character in the same group has reached a predetermined number, the game processing unit 113 presents the cheering effect using the cheering characters in the group to the player as the second effect. do. Further, for example, when the number of times of cheering for each cheering character in all the groups has reached a predetermined number, the game processing unit 113 uses the cheering effect using the cheering characters in all the groups as the third effect. Present to.

The display control unit 114 displays various screens in the game on the display of the terminal 20. The display control unit 114 may display, for example, the first effect using the cheering characters or the second effect using the group of cheering characters on the screen.

In this example, the number of times the cheering character is cheered reaches a predetermined number of times by cheering the cheering character displayed on the transition screen A012 once more. Therefore, when the operation icon for executing the support is tapped on the transition screen A102, the transition screen A103 is displayed.

On the transition screen A103, an image of an item acquired as a reward when the number of times of cheering of the cheering character displayed on the transition screen A102 reaches a predetermined number of times is displayed.

FIG. 16 shows an example of a screen displaying a list of rewards earned by the player.

As shown in FIG. 16, the screen A110 displays individual rewards, group rewards, and overall rewards. The individual reward indicates the reward obtained when the number of times of support of the support character reaches a predetermined number of times. The group reward indicates the reward obtained when the number of times of support of all the support characters in the same group reaches a predetermined number of times. The overall reward indicates the reward obtained when the number of cheers of the cheering characters in all the groups reaches a predetermined number of times. In this example, individual rewards and some group rewards are displayed, and unearned group rewards and overall rewards are grayed out. Group rewards and overall rewards include items for performing costume release. This item is used to increase the rank of the costume of a group of cheering characters. Increasing the rank of the costume of the group of cheering characters corresponds to the first evolution or the second evolution of the group of cheering characters.

FIG. 17 shows an example of screen transition when the costume release of a group of cheering characters is executed.

As shown in FIG. 17, an image of a group of cheering characters is displayed on the transition screen A120. When the material item for executing the first evolution of the group of cheering characters is used on the transition screen A120, the transition to the transition screen A121 is performed.

On the transition screen A121, the costume release of the group of cheering characters displayed on the transition screen A120 is executed, and the group of cheering characters whose costume rank has increased is displayed. When the evolution item for executing the second evolution of the group of cheering characters is used on the transition screen A121, the transition to the transition screen A122 is performed.

On the transition screen A122, the costume release of the group of cheering characters displayed on the transition screen A121 is executed, and the group of cheering characters whose costume rank is further increased is displayed.

FIG. 18 shows an example of a screen for a cheering effect using a cheering character.

As shown in FIG. 18, the screen A130 is an example of the screen of the individual support effect, and the support effect using a single support character is displayed. The screen A131 is an example of a screen for a group cheering effect, and a cheering effect using a plurality of cheering characters in the same group is displayed. The screen A132 is an example of the overall cheering effect, and the cheering effect using the cheering characters of all the groups is displayed. In the group support effect or the overall support effect, the display mode of the support character may be changed according to the number of times the support character is supported. For example, as the number of times of cheering of the cheering character increases relatively, the display size of the cheering character may be increased, or the display position of the cheering character may be set to a position closer to the center.
