In the following description, it is assumed that the game terminal 10 is a smart phone or tablet computer with a touch panel.

[2. Overview of Game] In the game system 1, a game is executed by executing a program on the game terminal 10. FIG. The game may be executed by game terminal 10 alone, or may be executed by data communication between game terminal 10 and server 30 .

Various games can be executed in the game system 1 . For example, sports games (games based on baseball, soccer, tennis, American football, basketball, volleyball, etc.), adventure games, simulation games, role-playing games, or training games, regardless of game format or genre. games can be executed.

As an example of a game executed by the game system 1, a game in which parameter data of a game object is changed based on an option selected by the user from a plurality of options will be described below. Specifically, a baseball game having a game part in which the parameter data of the game character is changed based on an option selected by the user from among a plurality of options regarding actions to be performed by the game character, who is a baseball player, will be described.

The baseball game explained here has a training part and a battle part. The training part is a game part in which the user trains the game character to create his own original game character. On the other hand, the battle part is a game part in which a team formed by using the original character created by the user in the training part is used to battle against an opponent team.

The training part will be described in detail below. In the training part, the user trains the game character (hereafter referred to as the "main character") by having the game character (hereafter referred to as the "main character") practice while progressing the scenario, and creates his own original character. For example, in the training part, the main character belongs to a high school baseball club, practices with teammates, participates in baseball tournaments, and aims to be scouted as a professional baseball player in the fall of the third year of high school. Scenario is executed.

[2-1] Before explaining the flow of the training part, an example of an original character created by the training part will be described.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a detailed image showing detailed information of an original character (main character). As shown in FIG. 2, detailed image G100 includes parts P110 and P120. A "part" is an element that constitutes an image, such as a text, an image, or an area. Part P110 shows the image of the original character, and part P120 shows the original character's name (X), position (first baseman), batting form (open stance 5), and dominant arm (right-handed).

Further, detailed image G100 includes part P130. Part P130 indicates the basic ability parameters of the original character. In FIG. 2, trajectory, hitting, power, running power, shoulder strength, defensive power, and ball catching parameters are shown, and numerical values and alphabets are shown for each basic ability parameter. Numerical values indicate basic ability parameter values, and alphabetical characters (eg, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) indicate levels of basic ability. An "S" indicates very high basic ability and a "G" indicates very low basic ability.

The trajectory parameter indicates how high the original character hits the ball. A higher trajectory parameter value indicates a higher hit ball. The hit parameter indicates the hit power of the original character (the ability to hit the ball thrown by the pitcher with the bat). A higher meet parameter value indicates a higher meet force. The power parameter indicates the power of the original character (the ability to hit a ball thrown by a pitcher with a bat to make it fly far). A higher value of the power parameter indicates that the ball hit by the original character with a bat tends to fly farther.

The running parameter indicates the running speed of the original character. A higher running parameter value indicates faster walking. The shoulder force parameter indicates the throwing speed of the original character. A higher value of the shoulder force parameter indicates a faster throw. The defense parameter indicates the skill of defense of the original character. The higher the value of the defense parameter, the better the defense. The ball catching parameter indicates the ball catching skill of the original character. The higher the value of the ball-catching parameter, the better the ball-catching (the less likely it is that an error will occur).

Further, detailed image G100 includes part P140. Part P140 indicates a special ability that the original character has acquired. In FIG. 2, as special abilities, "chance ◯", "against left-handed pitcher ◯", "steal base ◯", and "injury resistance ⊚" are shown. "◎" and "○" indicate the level of special ability, and "◎" indicates that the level of special ability is higher than that of "○".

"Chance ○" is a special ability that is strong against chance. If the original character has acquired "chance ○", the basic ability of the original character will be increased at the time of the chance. "Anti-left pitcher ○" is a special ability that is strong against left-handed pitchers. If the original character has mastered the "anti-left-handed pitcher ○", the basic ability of the original character will be enhanced when the opponent's pitcher is a left-handed pitcher. "Stealing base ○" is a special ability that makes it easier to succeed in stealing a base. If the original character has mastered "stealing a base ○", the original character is more likely to succeed in stealing a base. “Hard to get injured ◎” is a special ability that makes it harder to get injured. If the original character has acquired the "hardness of injury ◎", the original character is less likely to be injured.

Since FIG. 2 shows a case where the original character is a fielder, the basic abilities and special abilities of the fielder are displayed. If the original character is a pitcher, the pitcher's basic abilities and special abilities are displayed.

[2-2] The user creates an original character as described above by playing the training part and training the main character. At the start of the training part (scenario), the user sets an event deck (game character group for event generation).

Here, I will explain the "event deck". In the scenario, various events such as events that are advantageous or disadvantageous for improving the ability of the main character occur. In this regard, in the present embodiment, the events that occur in the scenario are not fixed, and the events that occur in the scenario change according to one or more game characters incorporated in the event deck. That is, in the scenario, a game character incorporated in the event deck appears as a teammate of the main character, and an event related to the game character occurs. Therefore, the user can select events that can occur in the scenario by selecting game characters to be incorporated into the event deck. A game character that can be incorporated into an event deck (in other words, a game character for generating an event) is hereinafter referred to as an "event character".

FIG. 3 shows an example of a setting image for the user to set the event deck. As shown in FIG. 3, the setting image G200 includes parts P210 and P220. Part P210 indicates the name of the event deck. Also, the part P220 is associated with processing for displaying an image for changing the name of the event deck. When the user selects the part P220 (that is, taps the part P220 (touches for a short time)), an image for changing the name of the event deck is displayed on the display unit 15, and the user can You can change the name of the event deck.

The setting image G200 also includes an event deck area A230. The event deck area A230 is provided with six setting frames P231-1, P231-2, P231-3, P231-4, P231-5, and P232 for setting event characters to be members of the event deck. .

In this embodiment, a plurality of event characters are given to the user when the user plays this baseball game for the first time. Also, the user can obtain an event character by lottery, obtain an event character as a reward in the game, or obtain an event character from another user. In this regard, in this embodiment, the user can arbitrarily incorporate up to five event characters into the event deck from among the event characters owned by the user. The setting frames P231-1 to P231-5 are frames for setting event characters owned by the user as members of the event deck.

Also, in this embodiment, only one event character owned by another user can be incorporated into the event deck as a helper. The setting frame P232 is a frame for setting event characters owned by other users as members of the event deck.

When the user taps any of the setting frames P231-1, P231-2, P231-3, P231-4, P231-5, P232, an event character to be set in the setting frame is selected, An image for changing the event character set in the setting frame to another event character is displayed on the display section 15 . In the setting frames P231-1, P231-2, P231-3, P231-4, P231-5, and P232, images of the event characters set in the setting frames as well as rarity, level, and absorption type of the event characters are displayed. is displayed. For example, the part P231-1 displays "R", "Lv.8", and "strength" as the rarity, level, and absorption type, respectively.

"Rarity" indicates, for example, how difficult it is to obtain an event character. The higher the rarity of the event character, the more difficult it is to obtain the event character. For example, each event character is associated with one of multiple stages of rarity, such as PSR (powerful super rare), SR (super rare), PR (powerful rare), R (rare), PN (powerful normal), and N (normal). PSR, SR, PR, R, PN, and N are arranged in descending order of these.

"Level" indicates the level of the event character. The higher the event character's level, the stronger the effect of the event generated by the event character. "Absorption type" will be described later.

Setting image G200 also includes part P240. The part P240 is associated with processing for automatically setting the event deck according to the user's request. When the user selects part P240, the appropriate event character is selected by the computer and incorporated into the event deck.

Further, setting image G200 includes part P250. Part P250 indicates the favorite practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck. In this embodiment, there are 10 types of "strike", "strength", "running base", "shoulder strength", "defense", "mental", "ball speed", "control", "stamina", and "breaking ball". is set as a good practice for each event character. "Strength", "running base", "shoulder strength", and "defense" are practice items for fielders, and "ball speed", "control", "stamina", and "breaking ball" are practice items for pitchers. , "Mental" is a practice item for both fielders and pitchers.

In FIG. 3, out of the 10 types of exercises, "strike", "strength", "running base", and "shoulder strength", which are not associated with a cross mark, are the favorite exercises of the event character incorporated in the event deck. indicates that it is set. In FIG. 3, numerical values (2) are displayed in association with each of "muscle strength" and "shoulder strength". Among the event characters incorporated in the event deck, two event characters are set to have "strength" as their favorite exercise, and two event characters are set to have "shoulder strength" as their favorite exercise. It shows that people are included.

[2-3] After setting the event deck, the scenario starts. As mentioned above, for example, the main character belongs to a high school baseball club, trains with his teammates, wins a regular position, participates in matches (regional qualifying tournaments and national tournaments), and becomes a professional baseball player. The scenario of aiming for is started.

Scenarios feature event characters built into event decks. For example, an event character incorporated in the event deck appears as a teammate (player, manager, etc.) of the main character.

In the scenario, predetermined game characters (for example, one manager, one scout, and seven teammates) are set in advance as characters. These game characters appear in the game even if they are not included in the event deck. Therefore, the event character incorporated in the event deck can be said to be a game character added as a character.

In this embodiment, the scenario progresses as the user repeatedly selects actions (exercise, rest, play, etc.) to be performed by the main character. Specifically, a scenario consists of a plurality of turns. For example, one turn corresponds to one week in the game. The scenario progresses as the virtual time in the game progresses by one week each time one turn ends. Note that one turn may correspond to one day in the game.

In each turn, the user selects one of a plurality of options regarding actions of the main character as the action to be performed by the main character.

[2-3-1] FIG. 4 shows an example of a main command image for selecting actions to be performed by the main character. As shown in FIG. 4, the main command image G300 includes parts P310, P320 and P330. Part P310 indicates a point in time in the game.

Part P320 indicates the motivation parameter of the main character. The motivation parameter is a parameter that indicates the motivation (tone) of the main character. In this embodiment, the motivation of the main character is represented by five levels of "excellent", "good", "normal", "bad", and "bad". In FIG. 4, a text such as "excellent condition" is displayed as the part P320, but an image (face image, etc.) indicating the level of motivation may be displayed as the part P320.

The part P330 is a gauge image showing the physical strength parameter of the main character. For example, when the main character practices, the value of the physical strength parameter decreases, and when the main character takes a break from practicing, the value of the physical strength parameter increases (recovers). It should be noted that the lower the value of the physical strength parameter, the higher the probability that the main character will get injured during practice.

Main command image G300 also includes part P340. The part P340 indicates the main character's name (X), position (first baseman), dominant arm (right), and basic ability parameters (ballistics, ballistics, power, running power, shoulder strength, and defensive power parameters).

Further, main command image G300 includes command area A350. Command area A350 includes parts P351, P352, P353, P354, P355, P356, and P357. The parts P351 to P356 will be explained here, and the part P357 will be explained later.

The part P351 is associated with processing for making the main character practice, and the user can make the main character practice by selecting the part P351. Details will be described later (see FIG. 5, etc.).

The part P352 is associated with a process for making the main character rest, and the user can make the main character rest by selecting the part P352. When the main character is rested, the physical strength parameter of the main character increases (recovers).

The part P353 is associated with the process of causing the main character to go to the hospital, and the user can make the main character go to the hospital by selecting the part P353. For example, when the main character is sick or injured, the illness or injury can be cured by having the main character go to the hospital. It should be noted that there are cases in which the disease or injury of the main character cannot be cured in one hospital visit. In such a case, it is necessary for the main character to visit the hospital multiple times in order to cure the main character's illness or injury.

The part P354 is associated with the process of making the main character play, and the user can make the main character play by selecting the part P354. When the main character is played, the motivation parameter of the main character increases.

The part P355 is associated with a process of making the main character go on a date, and the user can make the main character go on a date by selecting the part P355. Depending on the result of the date, the main character's motivation parameter may increase or decrease.

The part P356 is associated with processing for improving the ability of the main character, and the user can improve the ability of the main character by selecting the part P356. Details will be described later (see FIGS. 26A and 26B).

[2-3-2] FIG. 5 shows an example of a practice command image for making the main character practice. The practice command image G400 shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display unit 15 when the part P351 of the main command image G300 is selected.

As shown in FIG. 5, the practice command image G400 includes parts P410, P420, P430. Parts P410, P420, P430 are the same as parts P310, P320, P330 of main command image G300.

Also, the practice command image G400 includes a command area A440. The command area A440 includes parts P441, P442, P443, P444, P445, and P446 respectively corresponding to a plurality of practice items. In this embodiment, a level is set for each practice item, and the name and level of the associated practice item are displayed on each of the parts P441 to P446. The level of a practice item increases when the number of times the practice has been performed reaches a predetermined number.

The part P441 is associated with processing for causing the main character to practice batting. The part P442 is associated with a process of causing the main character to perform strength training. The part P443 is associated with a process of causing the main character to practice base running. The part P444 is associated with processing for causing the main character to perform shoulder strength exercises. The part P445 is associated with processing for causing the main character to practice defense. The part P446 is associated with a process of having the main character perform mental practice. Note that FIG. 5 shows the case where the main character is a fielder, so the parts P441 to P446 associated with processing for executing practice items related to fielders are displayed. , parts associated with processing for executing practice items related to the pitcher are displayed.

For example, when the user wishes to have the main character perform base running practice, first, the user selects the part P443 corresponding to the base running practice. In this case, the part P443 is provisionally selected. In this state, the part P443 is displayed separately from the other parts P441, P442, P444 to P446, indicating that the part P443 is provisionally selected. In FIG. 5, the position of the part P443 in the vertical direction of the screen is different from the other parts P441, P442, P444 to P446, and the part P447 corresponding to the cursor is associated with the part P443. Also, in this state, a part P448 indicating the probability of injury during practice is displayed in association with the part P443. This probability is determined based on the value of the physical strength parameter of the main character. The smaller the value of the physical strength parameter of the main character, the higher the probability of injury during practice.

Also, the practice command image G400 includes a part P450. The part P450 indicates the experience points of the main character (that is, the experience points currently possessed by the main character). In this embodiment, five types of experience points are set: muscle strength, agility, technique, breaking ball, and mental points. FIG. 5 shows a case where the main character's strength, agility, technique, curveball, and spirit points are all 0 points.

Also, in the example shown in FIG. 5, "+2" and "+8" are displayed in association with strength and agility points, respectively. This indicates that when the temporarily selected practice item (running practice) is executed, the main character's strength points increase by 2 points and his agility points increase by 8 points.

In this embodiment, for each practice item, the type of experience points to be increased by executing the practice and the amount of increase are determined. FIG. 6 shows an example of practice effect data D101. Practice effect data D101 indicates effect information for each practice item. In other words, the practice effect data D101 indicates, for each practice item, the type and amount of experience points increased by performing each practice.

As shown in FIG. 6, practice effect data D101 includes "practice ID", "name", and "effect" fields. The "exercise ID" field indicates identification information for uniquely identifying each exercise item. The "name" field indicates the name of the exercise item.

The "effect" field indicates effect information. As shown in FIG. 6, the "Effect" field includes "Lv.1", "Lv.2", "Lv.3", "Lv.4", and "Lv.5" fields as subfields. . The "Lv. 1" field indicates the content of the effect that occurs when level 1 practice is performed. That is, the "Lv. 1" field indicates which of the muscle strength, agility, technique, curve ball, and mental points increases by how much when level 1 practice is performed. For example, "strength +2" indicates that strength points are increased by 2 points. The "Lv.2", "Lv.3", "Lv.4", and "Lv.5" fields are the same as the "Lv.1" field.

As shown in FIG. 6, strength and agility points increase when base running practice is performed. Also, for example, when batting practice is performed, muscle strength, skill, and mental points increase. As shown in FIG. 6, the higher the level of the practice item, the greater the increase in experience points when the practice is performed.

Also, the practice command image G400 includes a teammate area A460. The teammate area A460 shows information such as teammate characters assigned to the provisionally selected practice (running practice).

In this embodiment, a teammate character, supervisor character, scout character, or the like is assigned to each practice item, and game characters other than the main character are directed to practice or watch over the practice. In this regard, the teammate character or the like assigned to the temporarily selected practice item is displayed in the teammate area A460. Teammate characters and the like assigned to each practice item change for each turn.

In the following description, it is assumed that 13 teammate characters T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10, T11, T12, and T13 exist as teammates of the main character. Suppose. Among them, the teammate characters T1 to T6 are the event characters incorporated in the event deck (that is, set in the setting frames P231-1, P231-2, P231-3, P231-4, P231-5, P232). event character).

In FIG. 5, since the base running practice is provisionally selected, the teammate characters assigned to the base running practice are displayed in the teammate area A460. Therefore, in FIG. 5, parts P461-1, P461-2, and P461-3 corresponding to the three teammate characters T1, T2, and T10 assigned to the base running practice are displayed in the teammate area A460. there is

Part P461-1 shows the image and name (T1) of teammate character T1. The part P461-1 also includes a part P462-1 corresponding to the gauge image. Part P462-1 shows teammate character T1's evaluation of the main character. The longer the gauge (hatched portion in the example shown in FIG. 5) in the part P462-1, the higher the teammate character T1's evaluation of the main character. Furthermore, part P461-1 includes parts P463-1 and P464-1. The part P463-1 indicates the teammate character T1's favorite practice (running practice), and the part P464-1 indicates the absorption type (strength) of the teammate character T1. The absorption type will be described later.

Parts P461-2 and P461-3 are similar to part P461-1. Parts P462-2 and P462-3 included in parts P461-2 and P461-3 are the same as part P462-1, and P463-2 and P464-2 included in part P461-2 are also parts P463-1 and P464. Same as -1. Note that the specialty practice and absorption type are displayed only when the teammate character is an event character incorporated in the event deck. Since the part P461-3 corresponds to the teammate character T10 other than the event character, the part P461-3 does not include parts corresponding to the parts P463-1 and P464-1.

When the main character practices, the teammate character, manager character, and scout character with respect to the main character are evaluated slightly (see P541-3 in FIG. 8). In this regard, regarding the teammate character, manager character, or scout character assigned to the practice performed by the main character, the evaluation of the main character increases more than usual (see P541-2 in FIG. 8).

In FIG. 5, the teammate character T1's favorite practice (base running practice) shown in part P463-1 coincides with the provisionally selected practice (base running practice). In other words, the teammate character T1 (event character) whose specialty is the base running practice is assigned to the base running practice. When the main character performs base running practice in such a state, if the evaluation of the teammate character T1 for the main character is higher than a predetermined standard (for example, if the evaluation reaches the maximum value), a special event will occur. (hereinafter referred to as "special tag training event") will occur. When a special tag training event occurs, the increase in experience points will be greater than in normal cases.

In FIG. 5, the teammate character T1 is assigned to the same practice item as his/her own favorite practice, but the teammate character is not necessarily assigned to the same practice item as his/her own good practice, and is different from his/her own good practice. It may be assigned to a practice item. As described above, to which practice item the teammate character is assigned is determined (randomly) for each turn based on probability information.

Furthermore, practice command image G400 includes part P470. In this embodiment, by researching rival teams, player characters of the investigated rival team (rival player characters) are set as absorption targets, and experience points or special abilities are acquired from the rival player characters set as absorption targets. You can absorb (acquire) the tricks for Part P470 is a part related to such an absorption function.

In the following description, there are seven rival teams RA, RB, RC, RD, RE, RF, and RG as follows, and four rival player characters as follows belong to each rival team. Assume that there are However, the number of rival teams and the number of rival player characters belonging to the rival teams are not limited to the examples below. The number of rival player characters belonging to the rival team may be different for each rival team. Rival team RA (rival player characters RA1, RA2, RA3, RA4) Rival team RB (rival player characters RB1, RB2, RB3, RB4) Rival team RC (rival player characters RC1, RC2, RC3, RC4) Rival Team RD (rival player characters RD1, RD2, RD3, RD4), rival team RE (rival player characters RE1, RE2, RE3, RE4), rival team RF (rival player characters RF1, RF2, RF3, RF4), rival team RG (Rival player characters RG1, RG2, RG3, RG4)

On each turn, a rival team is assigned to each practice item as a research target or absorption target. A rival team assigned to each practice item is determined (randomly) based on probability information.

FIG. 7 shows an example of assignment of teammate characters and rival teams to each practice item. In FIG. 7, rival teams are assigned to each practice item as research targets, and absorption targets are not assigned to any practice item. As will be described later, in the present embodiment, the rival team, which is the research target, is set as the absorption target by executing the research on the rival team. It is assigned to a practice item, and the absorption target is not assigned to any practice item.

The rival team assigned to each practice item is determined for each turn, and the rival team assigned to each practice item changes for each turn. In this embodiment, multiple rival teams are not assigned to one practice item in one turn. Also, in this embodiment, one rival team is not assigned to a plurality of practice items in one turn.

Part P470 shows information on survey targets assigned to the provisionally selected exercise. In FIG. 5, the base running practice is provisionally selected, and the rival team RA is assigned to the base running practice as the research target, so the part P470 shows the information of the rival team RA.

Specifically, the part P470 indicates the name of the rival team RA. The part P470 also includes parts P471-1, P471-2, P471-3 and P471-4 respectively corresponding to four rival player characters RA1, RA2, RA3 and RA4 belonging to the rival team RA.

Part P471-1 shows the image and name of rival player character RA1. Further, the part P471-1 is associated with processing for displaying detailed information of the rival player character RA1 (for example, special abilities that the rival player character RA1 has acquired) on the display unit 15. FIG. Therefore, when the user selects the part P471-1, an image showing detailed information of the rival player character RA1 is displayed on the display unit 15. FIG. Parts P471-2, P471-3 and P471-4 are similar to part P471-1.

When the user further selects a practice item in a state in which one of the practice items is provisionally selected, the practice item is determined as an execution target (practice item to be executed by the main character). For example, if the user further selects part P443 in a state in which base running practice has been provisionally selected (that is, a state in which part P447 points to part P443 corresponding to base running practice), base running practice is confirmed as an object to be executed. be.

When any of the practice items is confirmed as an object to be practiced, the main character practices the practice of the practice item. In this case, the main character's experience points are increased based on the practice items that have been executed (see FIG. 6). For example, when level 1 base running practice is executed, the strength points of the hero character increase by 2 points, and the agility points increase by 8 points.

Further, when a practice item to which any rival team is assigned as a research target is determined as an execution target, the research of the rival team is executed. This investigation is performed by an event character among the teammate characters assigned to the practice item to be performed. When the investigation of the rival team is executed, among the rival player characters belonging to the rival team, the number of rival player characters corresponding to the number of event characters that have executed the investigation are captured as absorption targets (set ). As will be described later, when a rival player character is set as an absorption target, it becomes possible to absorb (acquire) experience points and tricks for acquiring special abilities from the rival player character in subsequent turns. .

In Figures 5 and 7, the rival team RA is assigned to base running practice as a research target. Also, two teammate characters T1 and T2, which are event characters, are included in the teammate characters T1, T2 and T10 assigned to the base running practice. Therefore, when base running practice is confirmed as an object to be executed, the investigation of the rival team RA is executed by the two teammate characters T1 and T2.

In this case, for example, the first rival player character RA1 of the rival team RA is captured as an absorption target by the first teammate character T1 who has conducted the investigation, and the second teammate who has conducted the investigation. A second rival player character RA2 of the rival team RA is caught by the character T2 as an absorption target.

Also, in this case, the absorption target type of the rival player character RA1 is set based on the absorption type of the teammate character T1. Similarly, the absorption target type of the rival player character RA2 is set based on the absorption type of the teammate character T2. For example, since the absorption type of the teammate character T1 is "strength" (part P464-1), the absorption target type of the rival player character RA1 is set to "strength". Also, since the absorption type of the teammate character T2 is "agility" (part P464-2), the absorption target type of the rival player character RA2 is set to "agility".

As will be described later, the main character absorbs (obtains) experience points of a type corresponding to the absorption target type of the rival player character from the absorption target rival player character. For example, when the absorption target type of the rival player character RA1 is set to "strength" and the absorption target type of the rival player character RA2 is set to "agility", the main character receives strength points from the rival player character RA1. Absorbs agility points from rival player character RA2. Therefore, the "absorption target type" indicates what kind of experience points can be absorbed (acquired) from the rival player character of the absorption target. Also, the "absorption type" of the teammate character indicates which absorption target type of the rival player character captured by the teammate character is set. As the "absorption target type" and "absorption type", "strength", "agility", "skill", and "change" corresponding to five types of experience points (strength, agility, technique, breaking ball, and mental point), respectively. Either "sphere" or "spirit" is set.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the operation of selecting a practice item to be executed selects a rival team as a research target, or selects the number of rival player characters to be captured as absorption targets from among the rival team and the absorption target type. Since this also corresponds to the operation of specifying, the user can see not only the effect of the practice item, but also the number and absorption type of event characters assigned to the practice item, and the practice It is necessary to select a practice item to be executed in consideration of the rival team assigned to the item as a research target.

In the above-described embodiment, the rival player characters of the rival team are captured as absorption targets in a predetermined order (for example, in ascending order of ID). It may be determined (randomly) among the rival teams based on probability information. Also, the investigation of the research target rival team may be conducted by a team character other than the event character. That is, from among the research target rival teams, the number of rival player characters corresponding to the number of teammate characters (including characters other than event characters) assigned to the practice item determined to be executed is captured as absorption targets. good too.

[2-3-3] When any of the practice items is confirmed as an execution target (that is, when the main character has practiced), a practice result image showing the main character's practice results is displayed on the display unit 15. be. FIG. 8 shows an example of a practice result image. As shown in FIG. 8, practice result image G500 includes parts P510, P520, and P530. Parts P510, P520, P530 are the same as parts P310, P320, P330 of main command image G300. However, the gauge in the part P530 is shorter than in FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 8, the practice result image G500 includes a part P540 showing the main character's practice result. The part P540 includes text indicating changes in various parameters due to the main character's practice.

FIG. 8 shows a case in which the main character performs level 1 base running practice. In FIG. 8, (a) a part P541-1 indicating that the main character's execution of the base-running practice increased the strength points by 2 points, increased the agility points by 8 points, and decreased the physical strength parameter by 25 points; , (b) a part P541-2 indicating that the evaluation of the teammate characters T1, T2, and T10 assigned to the base running practice for the hero character has increased by 7 points; and (c) other teammate characters and a manager character. , and a part P541-3 indicating that the scout character's evaluation of the main character has increased by 1 point, and (d) a part P541-4 indicating that the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA have been captured as absorption targets. is contained within part P540.

[2-3-4] After the practice result image G500 is displayed, the next turn starts, and the main command image G300 is displayed on the display section 15 again. Also, in this case, when the part P351 (practice) is selected, the practice command image G400 is displayed on the display unit 15 again.

FIG. 9 shows an example of allocation of teammate characters and rival teams to each practice item in the next turn. FIG. 10 shows an example of a practice command image G400 for this turn.

In FIG. 9, rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA are assigned to strength training as absorption targets. In this embodiment, rival player characters belonging to the same rival team are assigned to the same practice item.

In FIG. 9, the numbers in parentheses displayed below the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 indicate the amount of residual energy that can be absorbed from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 set as absorption targets.

In this embodiment, the total amount of experience points that can be absorbed from the rival player character set as the absorption target (hereinafter referred to as "absorbable total amount") is set. The absorbable total amount is set based on the number of rival player characters set as absorption targets (hereinafter referred to as "absorption target number").

FIG. 11 shows an example of total absorbable amount data D102 indicating the correspondence relationship between the number of absorption targets and the total absorbable amount. As shown in FIG. 11, the total absorbable amount increases as the number of absorption targets increases. In FIG. 11, the total absorbable amount is set to "30 points" when the number of absorption targets is "1", and the total absorbable amount is set to "90 points" when the number of absorption targets is "2". It is That is, in FIG. 11, the total absorbable amount is set to triple when the number of absorption targets doubles. In short, when the number of absorption targets is increased by n times, the total absorbable amount is increased by m times (n<m).

In the present embodiment, it is possible to absorb (acquire) an amount of experience points corresponding to the total absorbable amount at maximum from the absorption target rival player character. The "absorbable remaining amount" indicates the remaining amount of experience points that can be absorbed from the absorption target rival player character. In the turn immediately after the rival player character is set as the absorption target, the remaining absorbable amount is equal to the total absorbable amount. When rival player characters RA1 and RA2 are set as absorption targets, the total absorbable amount is set to 90 points (see FIG. 11), so the remaining absorbable amount is 90 points (total absorbable amount) in FIG. ing.

In the turn shown in FIG. 9, only the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA are set as absorption targets. A target is assigned. In FIG. 9, the rival team RB is assigned to batting practice as a survey target, the rival team RC is assigned to base running practice as a survey target, the rival team RD is assigned to shoulder strength training as a survey target, and the rival team RE is surveyed. Defensive practice is assigned as a target, and rival team RF is assigned to mental practice as a research target. As mentioned above, the rival team assigned to the practice item as a survey target is determined (randomly) based on probability information for each turn.

In the exercise command image G400 shown in FIG. 10, muscle strength exercise is provisionally selected. Since teammate characters T11 and T12 are assigned to strength training (see FIG. 9), in FIG. include. Parts P461-4 and P461-5 are the same as part P461-3 in Figure 5, and parts P462-4 and P462-5 included in parts P461-4 and P461-5 are also the same as part P462-3 in Figure 5. is.

Further, when an absorption target is assigned to the provisionally selected practice item, a part P480 showing information of the absorption target assigned to the provisionally selected practice item is displayed. In FIGS. 9 and 10, the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA are assigned to muscle strength training as absorption targets. A part P480 showing information on the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the team RA is displayed.

In FIG. 10, part P480 indicates the name of rival team RA. Parts P480 are parts P481-1 and P481-2 respectively corresponding to two rival player characters RA1 and RA2 set as absorption targets among the rival player characters RA1 to RA4 belonging to the rival team RA. contains.

The part P481-1 shows the image and name of the rival player character RA1, as well as the absorption target type (strength) of the rival player character RA1. As described above, the absorption target type of the rival player character RA1 indicates the type of experience points to be absorbed (acquired) from the rival player character RA1. Determined based on the absorption type of the investigated (captured) teammate character. Note that the part P481-1 is associated with a process of displaying detailed information of the rival player character RA1 (for example, special abilities that the rival player character RA1 has acquired) on the display unit 15. FIG. Therefore, when the user selects the part P481-1, an image showing detailed information of the rival player character RA1 is displayed on the display unit 15. FIG. Part P481-2 is similar to part P481-1.

Furthermore, the part P480 includes a part P482 corresponding to the gauge image. A part P482 indicates the amount of remaining energy that can be absorbed from rival player characters RA1 and RA2, which are absorption targets. The longer the gauge inside the part P482 (in the example shown in FIG. 10, the part that is hatched and the part that is blacked out) indicates that the remaining absorbable amount is large. As will be described later, when strength training is performed, the main character is directed to absorb (acquire) experience points from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2, and the acquired amount of experience points is transferred to the rival player characters RA1 and RA2. Absorbable balance from RA2 decreases. In this regard, the black-filled portion of the part P482 indicates how much the remaining absorbable amount decreases due to the execution of muscle strength exercise, and the shaded portion indicates the amount of muscle strength exercise. shows the remaining absorbable amount after is executed. Therefore, by referring to the part P482, the user can determine how much the remaining absorbable amount decreases due to execution of the provisionally selected practice item, and how much after the provisionally selected practice item is executed. Absorbable remaining amount of can be known in advance.

In the turn shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when muscle strength training is confirmed as an execution target (that is, when the main character performs muscle strength training), the rival player character of the rival team RA assigned as an absorption target for muscle strength training The main character absorbs (obtains) experience points from RA1 and RA2. Specifically, the main character acquires from the rival player character RA1 a type of experience points (strength points) corresponding to the absorption target type (strength) of the rival player character RA1, and obtains the absorption target type (agility) of the rival player character RA2. ) is acquired from the rival player character RA2. In this case, the amount of absorption is determined based on the number of teammate characters assigned to strength training.

FIG. 12 shows an example of absorption amount data D103 indicating the correspondence relationship between the number of teammate characters (hereinafter referred to as "the number of teammates") and the absorption amount. As shown in FIG. 12, as the number of teammates increases, the absorption amount increases. In FIGS. 9 and 10, two teammate characters T11 and T12 are assigned to strength training, and in FIG. 12, the absorption amount is set to "9 points" when the number of teammates is "2". Therefore, the absorption amount is set to 9 points. In this case, the main character is directed to acquire 9 physical strength points from the rival player character RA1 and 9 agility points from the rival player character RA2.

Normally, the amount of increase in muscle strength and agility points when level 1 strength training is performed is 8 points and 0 points, respectively (see FIG. 6). , and 9 agility points from the rival player character RA2. Therefore, in FIG. there is In this case, since the remaining absorbable amount from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 is reduced by 18 points, the length of the part P482 that is blacked out corresponds to 18 points. .

FIG. 13 shows an example of a practice result image G500 displayed on the display unit 15 when muscle strength training is confirmed as an execution target in the turns shown in FIGS. show.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the part P540 of the exercise result image G500 in this case, (a) the main character performs strength training, and the main character gains experience points (strength points) from rival player characters RA1 and RA2. , agility points), the strength points increased by 17 points, the agility points increased by 9 points, the mental points increased by 2 points, and the physical strength parameter decreased by 25 points; (b) a part P542-2 indicating that the teammate characters T11 and T12 assigned to strength training have increased their evaluation of the hero character by 7 points; and (c) other teammate characters, supervisor characters, and scout characters. and (d) part P542-4 indicating that the remaining absorbable amount from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA has decreased by 18 points. and are included.

[2-3-5] FIG. 14 shows an example of allocation of teammate characters and rival teams to each practice item in the turn immediately after the practice result image G500 shown in FIG. 13 is displayed.

In this turn as well, the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA set as absorption targets are assigned to one of the practice items. In FIG. 14, rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA are assigned to batting practice as absorption targets. In this way, the practice item to which the absorption target is assigned also changes (randomly) based on the probability information for each turn.

Also in this turn, since only the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA are set as absorption targets, absorption targets are not assigned to practice items other than batting practice, but research targets are assigned. . In FIG. 14, the rival team RC is assigned to strength training as a research target, the rival team RD is assigned to base running practice as a research target, the rival team RE is assigned to shoulder strength training as a research target, and the rival team RG is researched. Defensive practice is assigned as a target, and rival team RB is assigned to mental practice as an investigation target.

In the turn shown in FIG. 14, the rival team RB is assigned to the mental practice as an investigation target, and three teammate characters T3 among the teammate characters T3, T4, T6, and T13 assigned to the mental practice. , T4 and T6 are event characters. Therefore, when, for example, mental practice is selected as an execution target, teammate characters T3, T4 and T6 investigate the rival team RB.

In this case, for example, the first rival player character RB1 of the rival team RB is captured (set) as an absorption target by the first teammate character T3 who has conducted the investigation, and the second teammate character RB1 who has conducted the investigation is captured (set) as an absorption target. A second rival player character RB2 of the rival team RB is caught (set) as an absorption target by the second teammate character T4, and the third teammate character T6 who has conducted the investigation captures (sets) the rival player character RB2 of the rival team RB. Among them, the third rival player character RB3 is caught (set) as an absorption target. The rival player characters captured by the teammate characters T3, T4, and T6 may be (randomly) determined from the rival team RB based on probability information.

Also, in this case, since the absorption type of the teammate character T3 is "skill" (see P231-3 in FIG. 3), the absorption target type of the rival player character RB1 is set to "skill". Similarly, since the absorption type of teammate character T4 is "spirit" (see P231-4 in FIG. 3), the absorption target type of rival player character RB2 is set to "spirit". Furthermore, since the absorption type of the teammate character T6 is "skill" (see P232 in FIG. 3), the absorption target type of the rival player character RB3 is set to "skill". Also, in this case, since the number of absorption targets is "3", the total absorbable amount from the rival player characters RB1 to RB3 is set to 180 points (see FIG. 11).

FIG. 15 shows an example of allocation of teammate characters and rival teams to each practice item in the turn immediately after mental practice is selected as an execution target in the turn shown in FIG.

First, in the turn shown in FIG. 15, the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA set as absorption targets are assigned to one of the practice items. In FIG. 15, rival player characters RA1 and RA2 are assigned to mental practice as absorption targets.

It should be noted that when mental practice is selected as an execution target in the turn shown in FIG. Even in this case, the absorbable remaining amount from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 is reduced by a predetermined amount. For example, the absorbable remaining amount from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 is reduced by 3 points. Therefore, in FIG. 15, the absorbable remaining amount from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 is 69 points (=72-3 points).

Also, in the turns shown in FIG. 15, the rival player characters RB1 to RB3 of the rival team RB are also set as absorption targets, so the rival player characters RB1 to RB3 are also assigned to one of the practice items as absorption targets. In this embodiment, rival player characters of different rival teams are not assigned to the same practice item. In FIG. 15, rival player characters RB1 to RB3 are assigned to defensive practice as absorption targets.

Absorption targets are not assigned to practice items other than mental practice and defensive practice, but research targets are assigned. In FIG. 15, the rival team RG is assigned to batting practice as a survey target, the rival team RC is assigned to strength training as a survey target, the rival team RF is assigned to base running practice as a survey target, and the rival team RD is a survey target. assigned to shoulder strength exercises.

[2-3-6] FIG. 16 shows an example of allocation of teammate characters and rival teams to each practice item in turns after the turn shown in FIG.

In the turn shown in FIG. 16, the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA are assigned to the base running practice as absorption targets, and the remaining amount of points that can be absorbed from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 is 3 points. Also, teammate characters T1, T3, and T13 are assigned to base running practice.

FIG. 17 shows an example of a practice command image G400 for this turn. In FIG. 17, base running practice is provisionally selected. Since teammate characters T1, T3 and T13 are assigned to the base running practice, the teammate area A460 includes parts P461-1, P461-6 and P461- corresponding to the teammate characters T1, T3 and T13, respectively. 7 is included. Part P461-1 is the same as part P461-1 in FIG. Part P461-6 is the same as part P461-1, and parts P462-6, P463-6, and P464-6 included in part P461-6 are the same as parts P462-1, P463-1, and P464-1. . The part P461-7 is the same as the part P461-3 in FIG. 5, and the part P462-7 included in the part P461-7 is also the same as the part P462-3 in FIG.

In FIG. 17, the temporarily selected practice item (base-running practice) matches the good practice (base-running practice) of the teammate character T1 assigned to the practice item. Furthermore, the gauge in the part P462-1 is expanded to the maximum, and the evaluation of the teammate character T1 with respect to the hero character is at the maximum value. As described above, when base running practice is confirmed as an execution target in such a state, a special tag training event occurs. Usually, when level 1 base running practice is executed, strength points increase by 2 points and agility points increase by 8 points (see FIG. 6), but when a special tag training event occurs, normal The experience points twice as much as the experience points of are given to the main character. That is, strength points increase by 4 points, and agility points increase by 16 points. Therefore, in FIG. 17, "+4" and "+16" are displayed in association with strength and agility points in part P450, respectively.

Also, in FIGS. 16 and 17, the remaining amount that can be absorbed from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 shown in the part P482 is 3 points, which is low. Since the three teammate characters T1, T3, and T13 are assigned to the base running practice, the amount of absorption from each of the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 when the base running practice is determined to be executed is usually 15 points (see FIG. 12). Therefore, in a normal case, the main character obtains 15 strength points from the rival player character RA1 and 15 agility points from the rival player character RA2. However, when the remaining absorbable amount is smaller than the absorption amount as in the state shown in FIG. 16, the absorption amount z is determined by the following formula (1). In the following formula (1), "x" indicates the remaining absorbable amount, and "y" indicates the original absorption amount. z=x+((y−x)*2) (1)

In the above formula (1), the absorption amount is determined so that the amount exceeding the remaining absorbable amount is doubled. In FIGS. 16 and 17, since the remaining absorbable amount (x) is 3 points and the original absorption amount (y) is 15 points, the absorption amount (z) is determined to be 27 points. 16 and 17, the main character absorbs (obtains) 27 strength points from the rival player character RA1 and agility points from the rival player character RA2. 27 points will be absorbed (obtained). Therefore, in FIG. 17, "+27" is displayed in association with the strength and agility points in the part P450. In this embodiment, when the remaining absorbable amount is less than the absorption amount, the absorption amount is determined so that the amount exceeding the remaining absorbable amount is doubled according to the above formula (1). However, the amount of absorption may be determined by means other than the above formula (1).

In the turns shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, when base running practice is confirmed as an object to be executed, the absorbable remaining amount from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 becomes zero. When the remaining amount of absorption from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 becomes zero, the absorption from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 is completed, and the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA are excluded from the absorption targets. be done. Therefore, at this time point, among the rival player characters RA1 to RA4 belonging to the rival team RA, there are two rival player characters RA3 and RA4 who can be set as absorption targets. In this embodiment, a reward is given to the user based on the rival player characters that have been absorbed (that is, the rival player characters excluded from the rival player characters that can be set as absorption targets). This point will be described later (see FIG. 25).

In this embodiment, only when absorption from a rival player character set as an absorption target is completed in the turn in which the special tag training event occurs, the main character learns the knack for acquiring the special ability from the rival player character. It can be absorbed (obtained) from the player character. As will be described later, in this embodiment, the main character can acquire special abilities by consuming a predetermined amount of experience points (see FIG. 26B). In this regard, if the main character has a knack for acquiring special abilities, the amount of experience points required for the main character to acquire special abilities is reduced.

In this embodiment, the number of tricks and the trick level that can be obtained from rival player characters set as absorption targets are determined based on the number of rival player characters (number of absorption targets) set as absorption targets. It has become.

FIG. 18 shows an example of trick data D104 showing the correspondence between the number of absorption targets, the number of tips that can be acquired, and the trick level. The trick level indicates the degree of the trick that the main character has grasped. The higher the trick level, the higher the degree of the trick that the main character has grasped. The higher the trick level, the less the experience points required for the main character to acquire special abilities.

In FIG. 18, the number of tips that can be obtained when the number of absorption targets is "1" or "2" is set to "2", and the number of tips that can be obtained when the number of absorption targets is "3" or "4" is set. The number of possible tricks is set to "1". That is, as the number of absorption targets increases, the number of tips that can be obtained decreases.

In FIG. 18, the trick level that can be obtained when the number of absorption targets is "1" or "2" is set to "1", and when the number of absorption targets is "3" or "4", Acquirable trick level is set to "2". That is, the higher the number of absorption targets, the higher the obtainable trick level.

In the turns shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, rival player characters RA1 and RA2 are assigned to base running practice as absorption targets, and the number of absorption targets is "2". It is obtained from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2. In this case, two special abilities are selected (randomly) based on the probability information from among the special abilities acquired by each of the rival player characters RA1 and RA2. Then, a trick level 1 trick for mastering each of the two selected special abilities is given to the main character. In this case, if the special abilities already acquired by the main character are included in the special abilities acquired by each of the rival player characters RA1 and RA2, the special abilities are selected from the selection candidates. Excluded. Also, when the number of special abilities that each of the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 has acquired is less than two, the special abilities that the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 have not acquired are added to the selection candidates.

FIG. 19 shows an example of a practice result image G500 that is displayed on the display unit 15 when base running practice is determined to be executed in the turns shown in FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 19, in the part P540 of the practice result image G500 in this case, there are (a) a part P543-1 indicating that a special tag training event has occurred, and (b) the main character performing base running practice. Execution and the hero character has acquired experience points (strength points, agility points) from rival player characters RA1 and RA2, so that the strength points increase by 31 points, the agility points increase by 43 points, and the physical strength parameter increases by 25 points. Part P543-2 indicating that the points have been reduced, and (c) that the main character has acquired the tricks of "chance ○" and "stealing base ○" (trick level 1) by acquiring tips from rival player characters RA1 and RA2. (d) a part P543-4 indicating that the evaluation of the teammate characters T3 and T13 assigned to the base running practice for the hero character has increased by 7 points; (e) another team Part P543-5 indicating that the evaluation of the mate character, manager character, and scout character for the main character has increased by 1 point, and (f) indicating that absorption from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA has been completed. Part P543-6 is included.

[2-3-7] FIG. 20 shows assignments of teammate characters and rival teams to each practice item in the turn immediately after base running practice is confirmed as an execution target in the turns shown in FIGS. Here is an example.

Since absorption from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA was completed in the previous turn (turns shown in FIGS. 16 and 17), the rival player characters of the rival team RA are shown in the turn shown in FIG. Since the characters RA1 and RA2 are excluded from the absorption targets, the rival athlete characters RA1 and RA2 are not assigned to the practice items as absorption targets. At this point, only the rival player characters RB1 to RB3 of the rival team RB are set as absorption targets, and the rival player characters RB1 to RB3 of the rival team RB are assigned to one of the practice items as absorption targets. In FIG. 20, rival player characters RB1 to RB3 of rival team RB are assigned to batting practice as absorption targets.

Also, in this case, an absorption target is not assigned to each practice item other than batting practice, but a survey target is assigned. In the previous turn (turns shown in FIGS. 16 and 17), the absorbable remaining amount from the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA becomes zero, and the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 of the rival team RA are absorption targets. 20, the rival team RA is assigned to mental practice as an investigation target. In addition, the rival team RC is assigned to strength training as a survey target, the rival team RG is assigned to base running practice as a survey target, the rival team RE is assigned to shoulder strength training as a survey target, and the rival team RF is assigned as a survey target. Assigned to defensive practice.

FIG. 21 shows an example of a practice command image G400 for the turns shown in FIG. Mental practice is provisionally selected in FIG. Since teammate characters T1, T6, and T7 are assigned to mental practice, the teammate area A460 includes parts P461-1, P461-8, and P461-9 corresponding to the teammate characters T1, T6, and T7, respectively. It is included. Part P461-1 is the same as part P461-1 in FIG. Part P461-8 is the same as part P461-1, and parts P462-8, P463-8, and P464-8 included in part P461-8 are the same as parts P462-1, P463-1, and P464-1. . The part P461-9 is the same as the part P461-3 in FIG. 5, and the part P462-9 included in the part P461-9 is also the same as the part P462-3 in FIG.

Since the rival team RA is assigned to the mental practice as an investigation target, a part P470 showing information on the rival team RA is displayed as shown in FIG. 21 when the mental practice is provisionally selected. Like the part P470 shown in FIG. 5, the part P470 shown in FIG. 21 includes parts P471-1 to P471-4 respectively corresponding to the rival player characters RA1 to RA4 of the rival team RA. However, in the turn shown in FIG. 21, the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 are in the absorption complete state, and the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 cannot be captured (set) as absorption targets. Therefore, the parts P471-1 and P471-2 are displayed in a manner showing the fact. In FIG. 21, the cross marks attached to the parts P471-1 and P471-2 allow the user to understand that the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 cannot be caught (set) as absorption targets. ing.

20 and 21, when the mental practice is determined to be executed, the teammate characters T1, T6, which are the event characters, among the teammate characters T1, T6, and T7 assigned to the mental practice, form rival teams. A survey of RAs is performed. In this case, the first rival player character RA3 is captured (set) as an absorption target by the teammate character T1 from among the teammate characters T3 and T4 who are not in the absorption complete state, and is the second target. The second rival player character RA4 is caught (set) as an absorption target by the teammate character T6. In this case, since the absorption type of the teammate character T1 is "strength" (see P464-1 in FIG. 21), the absorption target type of the rival player character RA3 is set to "strength". Similarly, since the absorption type of teammate character T6 is "skill" (see P464-8 in FIG. 21), the absorption target type of rival player character RA4 is set to "skill". Furthermore, in this case, since the absorption target number is "2", the total absorbable amount from the rival player characters RA3 and RA4 is set to 90 points (see FIG. 11).

In this case, the experience points are not absorbed from the rival player characters RB1 to RB3 of the rival team RB. Decrease by a predetermined amount (3 points).

FIG. 22 shows an example of allocation of teammate characters and rival teams to each practice item in the turn immediately after the mental practice is confirmed as the execution target in the turns shown in FIGS.

In the turn shown in FIG. 22, rival player characters RA3 and RA4 of rival team RA and rival player characters RB1 to RB3 of rival team RB are set as absorption targets. In this case, first, rival player characters RA3 and RA4 are assigned to one of the practice items. Furthermore, rival player characters RB1 to RB3 are also assigned to one of the practice items. In FIG. 22, rival player characters RA3 and RA4 are assigned to batting practice as absorption targets, and the remaining absorbable amount from rival player characters RA3 and RA4 is set to 90 points (total possible total amount). Also, rival player characters RB1 to RB3 are assigned to shoulder strength training as absorption targets, and the remaining amount of absorption from the rival player characters RB1 to RB3 is as compared to the previous turn (turns shown in FIGS. 20 and 21). has decreased by 3 points to 138 points. In addition, absorption targets are not assigned to other practice items, but survey targets are assigned. In FIG. 22, the rival team RC is assigned to strength training as a survey target, the rival team RD is assigned to base running practice as a survey target, the rival team RG is assigned to defense practice as a survey target, and the rival team RF is a survey target. assigned to mental practice as

[2-3-8] FIG. 23 shows an example of allocation of teammate characters and rival teams to each practice item in turns after the turn shown in FIG.

In the turn shown in FIG. 23, the rival player characters RA3 and RA4 of the rival team RA are assigned to mental practice as absorption targets, and the remaining amount of absorbable points from the rival player characters RA3 and RA4 is 12 points. It's becoming Also, teammate characters T6, T7, and T9 are assigned to mental practice.

Since the three teammate characters T6, T7, and T9 are assigned to the mental practice, normally, when the mental practice is determined to be executed in this state, each of the rival player characters RA3 and RA4. The amount of absorption is 15 points (see FIG. 12). Therefore, in a normal case, the main character absorbs (obtains) 15 strength points from the rival player character RA3 and absorbs (obtains) 15 technical points from the rival player character RA4. However, as described above, when the remaining absorbable amount is less than the absorption amount, the absorption amount is determined to be 18 points by the above formula (1). Therefore, the main character absorbs (obtains) 18 strength points from the rival player character RA3 and absorbs (obtains) 18 technical points from the rival player character RA4.

Also, in this case, since the remaining amount of absorption from the rival player characters RA3 and RA4 becomes zero, the rival player characters RA3 and RA4 are in the absorption complete state, and the rival player characters RA3 and RA4 of the rival team RA are removed from the absorption target. Excluded. In the turns shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the rival player characters RA1 and RA2 have already been removed from the absorption target in the absorption completed state, so at this point, all the rival player characters RA1 to RA4 of the rival team RA have been removed. is in the absorption complete state and is excluded from the absorption target.

In this case, the experience points are not absorbed from the rival player characters RB1 to RB3 of the rival team RB. Decrease by a predetermined amount (3 points).

FIG. 24 shows an example of allocation of teammate characters and rival teams to each practice item in the turn immediately after the mental practice is confirmed as the execution target in the turn shown in FIG.

In the previous turn (the turn shown in FIG. 23), the absorption from the rival player characters RA3 and RA4 of the rival team RA is completed, so that in the turn shown in FIG. Since RA4 is excluded from absorption targets, rival player characters RA3 and RA4 of rival team RA are not assigned as absorption targets. In the turn shown in FIG. 24, only the rival player characters RB1 to RB3 of the rival team RB are set as absorption targets, so the rival player characters RB1 to RB3 are assigned to any of the practice items as absorption targets. In FIG. 24, rival player characters RB1 to RB3 are assigned to batting practice as absorption targets.

Also, in the turns shown in FIG. 24, survey targets are assigned to other practice items. In the turn shown in FIG. 23, the absorption from the rival player characters RA3 and RA4 is completed, and the rival player characters RA1 to RA4 of the rival team RA are all absorbed. Not assigned as a research target. Therefore, in the turn shown in FIG. 24, the rival team RA is not assigned as a survey target to any practice item. In FIG. 24, the rival team RC is assigned to strength training as a research target, the rival team RG is assigned to base running practice as a research target, the rival team RE is assigned to shoulder strength training as a research target, and the rival team RF is researched. Defensive practice is assigned as a target, and rival team RD is assigned to mental practice as an investigation target.

[2-3-9] Here, the part P357 of the main command image G300 shown in FIG. 4 will be described.

The part P357 is associated with a process for displaying a rival team in which all rival player characters have been absorbed (hereinafter referred to as "absorbed team"), and the user selects the part P357. You can check the Absorption Completion Team by .

FIG. 25 shows an example of an absorption completion team image displayed on the display unit 15 when the part P357 is selected. FIG. 25 shows a case where the rival team RA has become an absorbed team (that is, all rival player characters RA1 to RA4 belonging to the rival team RA have been absorbed). Therefore, in FIG. 25, the part P610 corresponding to the rival team RA is displayed.

The parts P610 include parts P611-1, P611-2, P611-3, and P611-4 respectively corresponding to the rival player characters RA1 to RA4 that belong to the rival team RA and are in the absorbed state. The part P610 also includes a part P612 indicating a completion reward and a part P613 for using the completion reward. A complete reward is a reward that can be used when a rival team becomes a complete absorption team (that is, when all rival player characters belonging to the rival team are in a complete absorption state). In FIG. 25, increasing (recovering) the physical strength points of the main character by 50 points is set as the completion reward for the rival team RA. In this case, the user can increase (restore) the physical strength points of the main character by 50 points by selecting the part P613.

In addition, the completion reward may be different for each rival team. For example, the completion reward may be predetermined for each rival team, or may be determined (randomly) based on probability information for each rival team from among multiple types of rewards.

Also, the completion reward is not limited to increasing (recovering) the physical strength points of the main character. For example, increasing the experience points of the main character, giving the main character a knack for acquiring special abilities, allowing the main character to acquire special abilities, increasing the motivation parameter of the main character, or increasing the practice effect. The completion reward may be an increase over a certain period of time (increase the amount of experience points increased over a certain period of time according to the practice item). Alternatively, an event character, or a game item that can be used in the training part or the battle part may be used as the completion reward.

Also, in FIG. 25, only the rival teams in which all the rival player characters have completed the absorption state are displayed. good. However, in this case, by displaying the rival team in which all the rival player characters are in the absorption complete state separately from the rival team in which all the rival player characters are not in the absorption complete state, the user can easily identify the rival team. It is preferable that the player character can grasp the rival team in the absorption complete state.

[2-3-10] The user can improve the abilities of the main character by using (consuming) the main character's experience points given as described above.

26A and 26B show an example of an ability improvement image for improving the ability of the main character. A performance improvement image G700 shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B is displayed on the display unit 15 when the part P356 of the main command image G300 is selected.

As shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B, the ability improvement image G700 includes a first area A710, and the first area A710 includes a pitcher ability tab P711 and a fielder ability tab P712. The pitcher ability tab P711 displays changes to basic ability parameters related to pitcher ability, and the fielder ability tab P712 displays changes to basic ability parameters related to fielder ability. As shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B, on the fielder ability tab P712, each of basic ability parameters related to fielder ability such as trajectory, meat, power, running ability, shoulder strength, defensive ability, and ball catching parameter can be changed. The previous value and the changed value are displayed.

Also, the ability improvement image G700 includes a second area A720, and the second area A720 includes a basic ability tab P721 and a special ability tab P722. As shown in FIG. 26A, the basic ability tab P721 displays the experience points (strength, agility, skill, breaking ball, and mental points) currently possessed by the main character. FIG. 26A shows a state in which the strength, agility, skill, breaking ball, and mental points currently possessed by the main character are 77 points, 94 points, 39 points, 15 points, and 70 points, respectively.

In the basic ability tab P721, in exchange for some or all of the experience points currently possessed by the main character, sphere parameter) can be increased.

The basic ability tab P721 displays, in association with each basic ability parameter, the ability value required to increase the value of the basic ability parameter by 1 point from the current value. The basic ability tab P721 shown in FIG. 26A indicates, for example, that 30 points each of strength, technique, and mental points are required to increase the ballistic parameter value by 1 point from the current value.

Furthermore, in the basic ability tab P721, parts P723-1, P723-2, P723-3, P723-4, P723-5, P723-6, and P723-7 are displayed in association with each basic ability parameter.

For example, the part P723-1 is associated with a trajectory parameter, and the part P723-1 is associated with processing for increasing the trajectory parameter by 1 point in exchange for predetermined experience points. By selecting part P723-1, the user can increase the trajectory parameter by 1 point from the current value in exchange for 30 strength points, 30 technical points, and 30 mental points. In this case, the trajectory parameter is increased by 1 point, the effect is displayed in the first area A710, and the necessary experience points are subtracted from the "current experience points" in the second area A720.

Similar to part P723-1, other parts P723-2 to P723-7 are associated with meat, power, running power, shoulder strength, defensive power, and ball catching parameters, respectively, and parts P723-2 to P723 Associated with -7 is an action to increase these parameters by one point in exchange for a given experience point.

When the user selects the special ability tab P722 in the state shown in FIG. 26A, the state is switched to that shown in FIG. 26B. As shown in FIG. 26B, the special ability tab P722 also displays the experience points (strength, agility, skill, breaking ball, and mental points) currently possessed by the main character.

In the special ability tab P722, the main character can acquire a special ability in exchange for some or all of the experience points currently possessed by the main character. In FIG. 26B, special abilities that can be acquired by the main character include "chance ○", "vs. "Average Hitter" is displayed. "Chance ○" is a special ability that is strong against chance. "Anti-left pitcher ○" is a special ability that is strong against left-handed pitchers. “Stealing ○” is a special ability that makes stealing a good base. "Throwing ○" is a special ability that makes throwing difficult. "Hard to get injured ◎" is a special ability that rarely causes injuries. "Average hitter" is a special ability that makes it easier to hit hit balls.

In the special ability tab P722, the experience points required for the main character to acquire the special ability are displayed in association with each special ability. The special ability tab P722 shown in FIG. 26B indicates, for example, that 15 points, 30 points, and 105 points of agility, skill, and spirit are required for the main character to acquire "Chance ◯", respectively. there is Also, for example, in order for the main character to learn "throwing a ball", 48 physical strength points, agility points, and technical points are required respectively. As for the special abilities that the main character has already acquired, a message indicating that they have already been acquired is displayed.

Furthermore, in the special ability tab P722, parts P724-1, P724-2, P724-3, P724-4, P724-5, and P724-6 are displayed in association with each special ability.

For example, the part P724-1 is associated with "Chance ○", and the part P724-1 is associated with processing for having the main character acquire "Chance ○" in exchange for predetermined experience points. . By selecting the part P724-1, the user can exchange 15 agility points, 30 technical points, and 105 mental points to have the main character acquire "Chance ◯".

Similar to the part P724-1, the other parts P724-2 to P724-6 are associated with "against left pitcher ○", "stealing base ○", "running ○", "throwing ○", and "average hitter" respectively. Parts P724-2 to P724-6 are associated with processing for having the main character acquire these special abilities in exchange for predetermined experience points. Since the main character has already acquired the special ability of "injury resistance ◎", no parts are associated with "injury resistance ◎".

In the example shown in FIG. 26B, "Lv. 1" is displayed in association with "chance ◯" and "stealing base ◯". Here, "Lv. 1" indicates the skill level of "Chance ○" and "Stealing Base ○". As described above, if the main character has a knack for acquiring special abilities, the experience points required for the main character to acquire special abilities are reduced. Also, the higher the trick level, the less the experience points required for the main character to acquire special abilities.

At the beginning of the training part, the knack level of each special ability is set to zero (that is, the knack level of each special ability is set to a state where the knack is not grasped). For example, in the training part, an event may occur where the event character teaches the main character tips for special abilities based on the practice items selected for execution. The skill level rises. Also, as described above, in the training part, the main character acquires special ability tricks from the absorption target rival player character, thereby raising the special ability trick level.

As described above, in the training part, experience points are given to the main character based on options (practice items, etc.) selected by the user, and the user can use the experience points to improve the abilities of the main character (for example, It is possible to raise the character's basic abilities, or allow the main character to acquire special abilities). When the scenario progresses to the end, training of the main character is completed, and for example, the main character shown in FIG. 2 is completed. A main character whose training is completed is registered as an original character. After the training part ends, another original character can be trained by starting the training part again from the beginning.

[2-4] The baseball game (training part) described above has an absorption function in which the main character acquires (absorbs) experience points and tricks for acquiring special abilities from the rival player characters of the rival team. In this absorption function, the main character's experience points and knack parameters are changed based on the absorption target assigned to the practice item determined to be executed. In particular, in the absorption function, when the number of absorption targets assigned to a practice item is large, the amount of increase in experience points is set larger than when the number is small (see FIG. 11), and the number of tips increases. It is set small (see FIG. 18). Therefore, the number of absorption targets assigned to the practice item must be considered when selecting the practice item to be executed. By doing so, it is possible to provide the interest of selecting a practice item to be executed in consideration of the number of absorption targets assigned to the practice item. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of a game in which selection is accepted from among a plurality of practice items and the parameter data of the main character is changed based on the selected practice item.

In addition, in the absorption function, a rival player character is selected from the rival team assigned as a survey target to the practice item selected to be executed in a certain turn, and the selected rival player character is selected in the subsequent turn. A character is associated with a practice item as an absorption target. By doing so, the user can be involved in the selection of a rival player character to be assigned as an absorption target to a practice item in a subsequent turn, depending on the practice item selected as an execution target in a certain turn.

In addition, in the absorption function, a number of rival athlete characters corresponding to the number of event characters assigned to the practice item selected for execution in a certain turn are selected as absorption targets, and in subsequent turns, The rival athlete character thus obtained is associated with the practice item as an absorption target. By doing so, the user can select the number of rival athlete characters to be assigned as absorption targets to the practice item in the subsequent turn, depending on the practice item to be executed in a certain turn.

Also, in the absorption function, the main character is given experience points of a type corresponding to the absorption target type of the absorption target assigned to the practice item determined as the execution target. Therefore, when selecting a practice item to be executed, it is necessary to consider the absorption target type of the absorption target assigned to the practice item. By doing so, it is possible to provide the user with the interest of selecting an exercise item to be executed in consideration of the absorption target type of the absorption target assigned to the exercise item.

Also, in the absorption function, the main character's experience points are increased in exchange for decreasing the absorption remaining amount of the absorption target assigned to the practice item selected as the execution target. In addition, when a special tag training event has occurred, if the remaining amount of absorbable targets assigned to the practice item selected for execution becomes zero, the main character will be given tips for acquiring special abilities. be done. For this reason, when selecting a practice item to be executed, it is necessary to consider the remaining absorbable amount of the absorption target assigned to the practice item selected to be executed. Further, it is necessary to consider that the remaining absorbable amount of the absorbable target assigned to the practice item selected as the execution target becomes zero when the conditions for generating the special tag training event are satisfied. By doing so, the interest of selecting a practice item to be executed in consideration of the remaining absorbable amount of the absorption target assigned to the practice item selected to be executed and the conditions for generating a special tag training event are reduced. In a satisfied state, it is possible to provide the user with the interest of selecting a practice item to be executed while considering that the remaining absorbable amount of the absorption target assigned to the practice item selected as the object to be executed becomes zero.

Also, in the absorption function, the trick of the special ability of the absorption target assigned to the practice item determined as the execution target is imparted to the main character. Therefore, when selecting a practice item to be executed, it is necessary to consider the special ability of the absorption target assigned to the practice item. By doing so, it is possible to provide the user with the interest of selecting a practice item to be executed in consideration of the special ability of the absorption target assigned to the practice item.

Also, in the absorption function, a completion reward is given to the user when all rival player characters belonging to one rival team have been absorbed (see FIG. 25). By doing so, the user can be motivated to bring all the rival player characters belonging to one rival team to the absorbed state. In addition, it is possible to provide the user with the interest of selecting a practice item to be executed while taking into consideration that all rival player characters belonging to one rival team are in an absorption complete state.

[3. Functional Blocks] FIG. 27 is a functional block diagram showing functional blocks related to the absorption function in the training part among the functional blocks implemented in the game system 1. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 27, the game system 1 includes a data storage unit 100, a reception unit 110, an association unit 120, a change unit 130, a change control unit 140, a restriction unit 150, and a reward provision unit 160. include. Data storage unit 100 is implemented by at least one of storage unit 12 , storage unit 32 , and database 34 . Functional blocks other than the data storage unit 100 are implemented by at least one of the control unit 11 and the control unit 31 . That is, all of the functional blocks other than the data storage unit 100 may be implemented by the control unit 11, all of these may be implemented by the control unit 31, or some of these may be implemented by the control unit 11. , and the rest may be realized by the control unit 31 .

[3-1] In the game system 1, a game is executed in which the parameter data of the first game object is changed.

A "game object" is something that can be displayed on a game screen. For example, game characters, game cards, game items, or the like correspond to examples of "game objects." Each "game object" has multiple parameters.

"Parameter data" is data relating to the parameters of a game object. A "game object parameter" is a parameter set to a game object. In other words, parameters associated with the game object.

For example, the following parameters correspond to examples of "game object parameters". (1) Parameters (points) that are consumed to improve the performance of the game object (2) Parameters that indicate the ease with which special abilities can be acquired by the game object (3) Performance parameters that indicate the performance of the game object (4) Game (5) a relationship parameter indicating the relationship (familiarity, etc.) between the game object and the user (or user object); (6) the relationship (familiarity, etc.) between the game object and other game objects; Relational parameters that indicate

Also, for example, the following parameters correspond to examples of "performance parameters". (3A) Parameter indicating the level of performance of the game object (3B) Parameter indicating the special ability acquired by the game object (parameter indicating whether the game object has acquired parameters indicating the level of performance, etc.)

Also, for example, the following parameters correspond to examples of "state parameters". (4A) Physical state parameter indicating the physical state of the game object (physical strength, fatigue, etc.) (4B) Mental state parameter indicating the mental state (motivation, etc.) of the game object

"Changing the parameter data of the game object" means changing the value of the parameter of the game object. That is, "to change the parameter data of the game object" means to increase or decrease the value of the parameter of the game object.

Note that associating (setting) a parameter with a game object that is not associated (set) with a parameter also corresponds to "changing the parameter data of the game object". In other words, changing from a state in which parameters are not associated (not set) with a game object to a state in which parameters are associated (set) with a game object is also referred to as "changing the parameter data of a game object." corresponds to

A "first game object" is a game object whose parameter data is to be changed by the user. That is, the object of the game is to change the parameter data of the first game object. A game character to be trained by the user or a game card or game item to be strengthened by the user corresponds to an example of the "first game object".

In the case of the aforementioned baseball game, the main character corresponds to an example of the "first game object", and the experience point and trick parameter data correspond to an example of "parameter data of the first game object".

[3-2] The data storage section 100 stores data necessary for executing the game. Here, as an example of data stored in the data storage unit 100, data necessary for executing the training part of the aforementioned baseball game will be described.

For example, the data storage unit 100 stores data indicating a list of users who play the game in the game system 1, data indicating a list of event characters owned by each user, original characters owned by each user (each Stores data indicating a list of original characters created by the user.

The "basic ability parameter" field indicates basic ability parameters (ballistics, ballistics, power, running ability, shoulder strength, defensive ability, ball catching parameters, etc.) of the rival player character. The "special ability parameter" field indicates the special ability parameter of the rival player character. The special ability parameter indicates whether or not the rival player character has acquired each special ability. For example, the basic ability parameters and special ability parameters of the rival player character are referred to when a match event with the rival team is executed in the training part. In addition, in the absorption function of the training part, the main character can absorb (acquire) the special ability tips selected from among the special abilities that the rival player character of the absorption target has acquired. The special ability parameter of the rival player character is referred to when selecting.

The "absorption target flag", "absorption target type", and "absorption completion flag" fields indicate the absorption target flag, absorption target type, and absorption completion flag of the rival player character, respectively. The absorption target flag indicates whether or not a rival player character is set as an absorption target. The absorption target flag is set to ON (1) when the rival player character is set as the absorption target, and is set to OFF (0) when the rival player character is not set as the absorption target. The absorption target type indicates which experience points are absorbed from the rival player character. The absorption completion flag indicates whether or not the absorption from the rival player character has been completed. The absorption completion flag is set to off (0) when the absorption from the rival player character is not completed, and is set to on (1) when the absorption from the rival player character is completed.

[3-2-3] FIG. 30 shows an example of the teammate character data D107. The teammate character data D107 indicates a list of teammate characters of the main character. As shown in FIG. 30, teammate character data D107 includes "teammate character ID", "name", "position", "basic ability parameters", "special ability parameters", "event character flag", "rarity", Includes "absorption type", "favorite practice", "level", and "event" fields.

A “teammate character ID” field indicates identification information that uniquely identifies a teammate character. The "Name" and "Position" fields indicate the names and positions of teammate characters.

The "basic ability parameter" field indicates basic ability parameters (ballistics, ballistics, power, running ability, shoulder strength, defensive ability, ball catching parameters, etc.) of teammate characters. A "special ability parameter" field shows the special ability parameter of a teammate character. A special ability parameter is a parameter indicating whether or not a teammate character has acquired each special ability. For example, when a game event occurs in the training part, teammate characters participate in the game together with the main character. The basic ability parameters and special ability parameters of the teammate characters are referenced when such a game event is executed.

The "event character flag" field indicates the event character flag of the teammate character. As mentioned above, the event characters incorporated in the event deck appear in the scenario as teammate characters. The event character flag indicates whether the teammate character is an event character incorporated in the event deck. The event character flag is set to on (1) when the teammate character is an event character, and is set to off (0) when the teammate character is not an event character.

The "rarity", "absorption type", "favorite practice", and "level" fields indicate the rarity, absorption type, specialty practice, and level of the teammate character (event character), respectively. The "Event" field shows event information about the event associated with the teammate character. In other words, the "event" field shows event information about events that can occur in the game by teammate characters. Various information is registered in the "rarity", "absorption type", "favorite practice", "level", and "event" fields only when the teammate character is an event character.

[3-2-4] FIG. 31 shows an example of the training status data D108. The training status data D108 indicates the training status of the main character being trained. As shown in FIG. 31, the training status data D108 includes the following fields.

A "name" field indicates the name of the main character. The "Position" field indicates the baseball position that the main character is good at. The "form" and "dominant arm" fields indicate the form (batting form or pitching form) and dominant arm of the main character. The "motivation parameter" and "physical strength parameter" fields indicate the motivation parameter and physical strength parameter of the main character at the present time. The "evaluation" field indicates the current evaluation of the main character by other game characters (teammate character, manager character, or scout character).

The "experience points" field indicates the experience points (strength, agility, technique, curveball, and mental points) that the main character currently has. The "experience point" field stores the experience points that the main character currently has (that is, the experience points remaining at the present time), as well as the cumulative total of experience points that the main character has acquired so far. may

The "basic ability parameter" field indicates the current basic ability parameters (ballistics, ballistics, power, running ability, shoulder strength, defensive ability, and ball catching parameters) of the main character.

The "special ability parameter" field indicates the current special ability parameter of the main character. The special ability parameter is a parameter indicating whether or not the main character has acquired each special ability. For example, in the "chance ○" field in the "special ability parameter" field, "0" is registered when the hero character has not acquired the special ability "chance ○", and the hero character has the special ability "chance ○". If the skill has already been acquired, "1" is registered.

The "knack parameter" field indicates the knack parameter of the main character. The trick parameter indicates the current trick level of each special ability of the main character.

The "exercise execution status" field indicates the practice execution status (execution history) up to the present time. In the "exercise execution status" field, for each practice item, the current level, the total number of practice executions, and the teammate characters (and supervisor character and scout character) assigned to the practice item in the current turn are displayed. ) and the rival team (rival player character) assigned to the practice item in the current turn as a survey target or absorption target. Also, the "progress" field indicates the current progress. For example, the "progress" field indicates the number of turns remaining, the current in-game time, and so on.

[3-3] The receiving unit 110 receives a selection from a plurality of options. Accepting unit 110 accepts selection of an option from among multiple options at each of multiple selection opportunities.

An “option” is an object selected by the user playing the game. In other words, "options" are objects to be selected by the user during the game. “Multiple options” are candidates for options that can be selected by the user.

"Accepting a selection from a plurality of options" means accepting a selection operation for selecting one of a plurality of options. Alternatively, "receiving selection from a plurality of options" may mean receiving selection data indicating that one of the plurality of options has been selected. Only one of a plurality of options may be selected, or a plurality of options may be selected.

A “selection opportunity” is an opportunity to accept selection of an option from a plurality of options. For example, in the case of a game that accepts the selection of an option from among multiple options for each turn, each turn corresponds to a "selection opportunity".

In the case of the aforementioned baseball game, multiple practice items correspond to an example of "multiple choices". The accepting unit 110 accepts selection from a plurality of practice items.

[3-4] The association unit 120 associates one or more second game objects with at least one of the plurality of options.

A "second game object" is a game object associated with an option and used to change the parameter data of the first game object. For example, a "first game object" is a game object associated with one group identification of a plurality of group identities, and a "second game object" is a group identification associated with the first game object. is a game object associated with a different group identity than the A "plurality of options" can include both options that have a second game object associated with them and options that do not have a second game object associated with them. The "multiple options" may include only options with which the second game object is associated.

For example, the associating unit 120 includes the selecting unit 121 . The selection unit 121 selects one or a plurality of second game objects based on the option when the option selected at the first selection opportunity is not associated with the second game object.

For example, the plurality of options includes options associated with one or more third game objects, and the selection unit 121 selects the option selected in the first selection opportunity when the second game object is not associated with the option. Additionally, one or more second game objects may be selected based on the third game objects associated with the selection. Specifically, when the option selected at the first selection opportunity is not associated with the second game object, the selection unit 121 determines the number of third game objects associated with the selected option. A number of second game objects may be selected.

A "third game object" is a game object that is different from the first game object and the second game object.

Note that the selection unit 121 may select one or a plurality of second game objects based on numerical information associated with the selected option. Specifically, the selection unit 121 may select a number of second game objects corresponding to numerical information associated with the selected option.

The associating unit 120 associates the second game object selected by the selecting unit 121 with at least one of the multiple options in the second selection opportunity after the first selection opportunity.

In the case of the aforementioned baseball game, the absorption target rival player character corresponds to an example of the "second game object". An event character among the teammate characters corresponds to an example of the "third game object". The selection unit 121 selects a number of rival player characters corresponding to the number of event characters from among the rival player characters of the rival team assigned as research targets to the practice item selected as an execution target. In subsequent turns, the association unit 120 associates the selected rival player character with the practice item as an absorption target.

[3-5] The changing section 130 includes a first changing section 131 , a second changing section 132 and a third changing section 133 .

[3-5-1] The first changing unit 131 changes the first parameter data of the first game object based on an option selected from among multiple options. A second changing unit 132 changes the second parameter data of the first game object based on the selected option.

For example, as described above, the selection unit 121 selects one or more second game objects based on the third game object associated with the option selected at the first selection opportunity, and the association unit 120 The second game object selected by the selection unit 121 is associated with at least one of the multiple options in the second selection opportunity after the first selection opportunity. Then, the first changing unit 131 changes the first parameter data based on the option selected at the second selection opportunity. Also, the second changing unit 132 changes the second parameter data based on the option selected at the second selection opportunity.

"First parameter data" is data relating to the first parameter. "Second parameter data" is data relating to the second parameter. The “first parameter” and the “second parameter” are parameters different from each other among a plurality of parameters set to the first game object.

For example, the "first parameter" is a parameter (points) consumed to improve the performance of the first game object, and the "second parameter" is the ease with which the first game object can acquire special performance. are the parameters shown.

Also, for example, the “second parameter” is a parameter that is less likely to be changed in the game than the “first parameter”. In other words, the "second parameter" is a parameter that is less likely to be changed in the game or less likely to be changed in the game than the "first parameter".

"Change the first parameter data of the first game object based on the selected option" means, for example, that the first game object has a plurality of first parameters, and the first parameter data has a plurality of parameters. By setting at least one of a plurality of first parameters as a change target based on the selected option when the data is related to the first parameter, and changing the first parameter set as a change target, be.

Specifically, "change the first parameter data of the first game object based on the selected option" means that change target information for selecting a change target from among a plurality of first parameters is associated with the change target information. setting at least one of the plurality of first parameters as a change target based on change target information associated with an option selected from among the plurality of options, and setting the first parameter as a change target is to change

Further, for example, "change the first parameter data of the first game object based on the selected option" means changing the first parameter data of the first game object based on the second game object associated with the selected option. It may be to change one parameter data.

That is, "change the first parameter data of the first game object based on the selected option" means that the first game object is set with a plurality of first parameters, and the first parameter data is set to a plurality of parameters. setting at least one of the plurality of first parameters to be changed based on the second game object associated with the selected option when the data is related to the first parameter, and setting the set as the change target It may be to change the first parameter.

Specifically, "change the first parameter data of the first game object based on the selected option" means that the attribute (type, ability, etc.) of the second game object associated with the selected option At least one of the plurality of first parameters is set as a change target based on, and the first parameter set as a change target is changed. That is, at least one of the plurality of first parameters is determined based on the correspondence information between the attribute and the first parameter to be changed and the attribute of the second game object associated with the selected option. is set as an object to be changed, and the first parameter set as an object to be changed is changed. Note that the correspondence information is set such that the first parameter related to the type of the second game object is set as the change target. Alternatively, the correspondence information is set such that the first parameter related to the ability possessed by the second game object is set as the change target.

"Change the second parameter data of the first game object based on the selected option" is the same as "Change the first parameter data of the first game object based on the selected option." . For example, when a plurality of second parameters are set for the first game object, and the second parameter data is data relating to the plurality of second parameters, the second changing unit 132 changes the At least one of the plurality of second parameters is set as a change target based on the second game object, and the second parameter set as the change target is changed.

[3-5-2] For example, the first changing unit 131 changes the first parameter data in exchange for changing the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option.

"Second game object parameter data" is data relating to the parameters of the second game object. The "parameter of the second game object" here is a parameter that is changed in exchange for changing the first parameter data. In other words, it is the parameter consumed to change the first parameter data.

"Change the first parameter data in exchange for changing the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option" means that the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option After changing the data, change the first parameter data. Alternatively, after changing the first parameter data, the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option may be changed. Alternatively, the first parameter data may be changed while changing the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option. In short, changing the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option and changing the first parameter data may be performed at different times or may be performed at the same time.

For example, the degree of change in the parameter data of the second game object is set to correspond to the degree of change in the first parameter data. That is, the amount of change in the parameter data of the second game object is set to an amount corresponding to the amount of change in the first parameter data.

[3-5-3] Further, for example, the second changing unit 132 changes the second parameter data when the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option changes to the first predetermined state. Let

The 'first predetermined state' is, for example, a state in which the value of the parameter of the second game object is the first predetermined value. The parameter value of the second game object may be less than or equal to the first predetermined value, or the parameter value of the second game object may be greater than or equal to the first predetermined value.

For example, in a mode where the first parameter data is changed in exchange for decreasing the parameter of the second game object, the "first predetermined state" means that the value of the parameter of the second game object is the first predetermined value. (or below the first predetermined value).

On the other hand, in a mode in which the first parameter data is changed in exchange for increasing the parameter of the second game object, the "first predetermined state" means that the value of the parameter of the second game object is the first predetermined value. (or above the first predetermined value).

"When the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option changes to the first predetermined state" means that the first changing unit 131 changes the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option. The parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option is changed to a first predetermined state by changing the first parameter data in exchange for changing the data.

"Change the second parameter data when the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option changes to the first predetermined state" means that the second game object associated with the selected option The second parameter data is changed while the parameter data of the object changes to the first predetermined state. Alternatively, the second parameter data may be changed after the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option has changed to the first predetermined state. Alternatively, the second parameter data may be changed when it is determined that the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option will change to the first predetermined state.

[3-5-4] Further, for example, the plurality of options includes options associated with one or more third game objects, and the third change unit 133 is selected at each of the plurality of selection opportunities. Change the parameter data of the third game object associated with the option. Then, the second changing unit 132 determines that the third game object associated with the selected option satisfies a predetermined condition and the parameter data of the second game object associated with the selected option is in the first predetermined state. , the second parameter data is changed.

A "third game object" is a game object that is different from the first game object and the second game object. The multiple options may include both options with associated third game objects and options with no associated third game objects. A "plurality of options" may include only options that have a third game object associated with them.

A "predetermined condition" is a condition regarding the third game object associated with the selected option. In other words, the "predetermined condition" is a condition as to whether or not the selected option is associated with a specific third game object. For example, a third game object whose parameter data is in a predetermined state corresponds to an example of a "specific third game object."

For example, the "predetermined condition" includes a condition as to whether or not the selected option is associated with a third game object whose parameter data is in the second predetermined state.

The "second predetermined state" is, for example, a state in which the value of the parameter of the third game object is the second predetermined value. The value of the parameter of the third game object may be less than or equal to the second predetermined value, or the value of the parameter of the third game object may be greater than or equal to the second predetermined value.

For example, in a mode where the parameter of the third game object associated with the selected option increases, the "second predetermined state" means that the value of the parameter of the third game object is the second predetermined value (or a predetermined value or more).

On the other hand, in a mode in which the parameter of the third game object associated with the selected option decreases, the "second predetermined state" means that the value of the parameter of the third game object is the second predetermined value (or below a predetermined value).

[3-5-5] In the case of the aforementioned baseball game, the experience points of the main character correspond to an example of the "first parameter", and there are multiple types of experience points (strength, agility, technique, breaking ball, and mental points). corresponds to an example of "a plurality of first parameters", and the data of the main character's experience points corresponds to an example of "first parameter data". Also, the absorbable remaining amount of the rival player character assigned as the absorption target to the practice item corresponds to an example of "parameter data of the second game object associated with the option".

The first change unit 131 increases the experience points of the main character based on the rival player character assigned as the absorption target to the practice item determined as the execution target. That is, the first change unit 131 increases the experience points of the main character based on the absorption target type and absorption remaining amount of the rival athlete character assigned as the absorption target to the practice item determined as the execution target. For example, the first changing unit 131 sets, as a change target, experience points of a type according to the absorption target type of the rival player character associated as the absorption target with the practice item confirmed as the execution target, and sets the experience points as the change target. Increases experience points earned. For example, when the absorption target type of the rival player character assigned as the absorption target to the exercise item confirmed as the execution target is "strength", the first change unit 131 sets the muscle strength point as the change target, Increases a character's strength points. The first change unit 131 decreases the absorbable remaining amount of the rival player character assigned as the absorption target to the practice item determined as the execution target by the amount of the main character's experience point increase.

In the case of the baseball game mentioned above, the trick parameter of the main character corresponds to an example of the "second parameter", and the trick parameters of the multiple types of special abilities correspond to an example of the "plurality of second parameters". The trick parameter data corresponds to an example of the "second parameter data". Also, the event character (teammate character) corresponds to an example of the "third game object". Further, the data indicating the evaluation of the event character with respect to the main character corresponds to an example of the "parameter data of the third game object". Furthermore, the condition for occurrence of the special tag training event (that is, the event character's specialty practice matches the practice item determined as the execution target, and the event character's evaluation of the main character is equal to or higher than a predetermined standard). condition) corresponds to an example of the "predetermined condition".

The third change unit 133 increases the evaluation of the main character by the teammate character (event character) associated with the practice item determined as the execution target.

The second change part 132 is determined as the execution target in the turn in which the special tag training event occurs by the teammate character (event character) assigned to the practice item determined as the execution target among the plurality of practice items. When the absorbable remaining amount of a rival player character assigned as an absorption target to a practice item becomes zero, the trick parameter of the main character is changed based on the special ability parameter of the rival player character. That is, the second changing unit 132 sets at least one of the trick parameters of the plurality of special abilities as a change target based on the special ability that the rival player character has acquired, and sets the parameter set as the change target. Changes the tip parameter of special abilities. Specifically, the second changing unit 132 sets the trick parameter of the special ability selected from among the special abilities learned by the rival player character as a change target, and raises the trick level of the special ability.

[3-6] The change control unit 140 increases the degree of change of one of the first parameter data and the second parameter data based on the number of second game objects associated with the option, and increases the degree of change of the other. decrease.

For example, when the number of second game objects associated with the option is large, the change control unit 140 sets the first parameter data and the second parameter data more than when the number of second game objects associated with the option is small. Increase the degree of change in one of and decrease the degree of change in the other.

The “degree of change in parameter data” can be translated into, for example, the amount of change in parameter data. That is, if the parameter data is changed by increasing or decreasing the value of the parameter, the amount of increase or decrease of the parameter corresponds to an example of the "degree of change in parameter data."

In addition, if parameter data is changed by associating parameters with game objects that are not associated with parameters, the state of parameters that associate parameters with game objects corresponds to an example of "degree of change in parameter data." . That is, the magnitude of the value of the parameter that associates the parameter with the game object corresponds to an example of the "degree of change in parameter data."

"Increasing the degree of change of one of the first parameter data and the second parameter data and decreasing the degree of change of the other" means increasing the degree of change of the first parameter data and decreasing the degree of change of the second parameter data. Decreasing the degree of change, or increasing the degree of change of the second parameter data and decreasing the degree of change of the first parameter data.

"Increase the degree of change of one of the first parameter data and the second parameter data and decrease the degree of change of the other based on the number of second game objects associated with the option" means, for example, When the number of second game objects associated with the option is large, the degree of change in one of the first parameter data and the second parameter data is increased compared to when the number of second game objects associated with the option is small. and reduce the degree of change in the other. That is, "increase the degree of change of one of the first parameter data and the second parameter data and decrease the degree of change of the other based on the number of second game objects associated with the option" The greater the number of second game objects associated with , the greater the degree of change in one of the first parameter data and the second parameter data and the lesser the degree of change in the other. In other words, when the number of second game objects associated with the option is small, the change in one of the first parameter data and the second parameter data is greater than when the number of second game objects associated with the option is large. It is also possible to reduce the degree of change in one and increase the degree of change in the other.

Alternatively, "increase the degree of change of one of the first parameter data and the second parameter data and decrease the degree of change of the other based on the number of second game objects associated with the option" The smaller the number of second game objects associated with , the smaller the degree of change in one of the first parameter data and the second parameter data and the larger the degree of change in the other.

Alternatively, "increasing the degree of change of one of the first parameter data and the second parameter data and decreasing the degree of change of the other based on the number of second game objects associated with the option" means, for example, , when the number of second game objects associated with the option is larger than the first reference number, the degree of change of one of the first parameter data and the second parameter data is made larger than usual, and the number of second game objects associated with the option is increased. If the number of second game objects is less than the second reference number, the degree of change of the other of the first parameter data and the second parameter data may be made smaller than usual. The "first reference number" and the "second reference number" may be the same or different. When the "first reference number" and the "second reference number" are different, the "second reference number" is a number smaller than the "first reference number."

In the case of the aforementioned baseball game, the change control unit 140 sets the total absorbable amount such that the greater the number of rival player characters assigned as absorption targets to the practice item, the greater the total absorbable amount (see FIG. 11). ). That is, the change control unit 140 increases the degree of change in experience points as the number of rival player characters assigned as absorption targets to the practice item increases.

On the other hand, the change control unit 140 reduces the number of tips acquired from rival player characters as the number of rival player characters assigned as absorption targets to practice items increases. (see FIG. 18). That is, the change control unit 140 reduces the degree of change in the trick parameter as the number of rival player characters assigned as absorption targets to the practice item increases.

[3-7] The restriction unit 150 restricts association of the second game object whose parameter data is in the first predetermined state with the option.

"Restrict association of the second game object whose parameter data is in the first predetermined state with the option" means that the second game object whose parameter data is in the first predetermined state is not associated with the option. is. In other words, the second game object whose parameter data is in the first predetermined state is prohibited from being associated with the option.

That is, "restrict association of the second game object whose parameter data is in the first predetermined state with the option" means that the parameter data of the second game object associated with the option is in the first predetermined state. If so, it is to release the association between the second game object and the option.

In the case of the aforementioned baseball game, the rival player character whose absorbable remaining amount has become zero corresponds to an example of "the second game object whose parameter data has reached the first predetermined state". The restricting unit 150 restricts association with a practice item as an absorption target of a rival player character whose remaining absorbable amount has become zero.

[3-8] The reward giving section 160 gives a reward to the user based on the second game object whose parameter data has reached the first predetermined state.

A “reward” is, for example, an increase in a parameter in which a larger value is more advantageous to the user. It should be noted that "becoming advantageous to the user" can be rephrased as "making it easier for the user to achieve the object of the game". Further, for example, "reward" is to reduce a parameter that is advantageous to the user when the value is small. Further, for example, the "reward" may be a game object (game character, game item, game card, or the like). In addition, the "reward" may be in-game currency, game points, titles, or the like.

“Giving a reward to the user” means to give a reward to the user by updating the data stored in the data storage unit 100 . Note that "providing a reward to the user" can also be said to relate the reward to the user's identification information. “User identification information” is information for uniquely identifying a user. In other words, it is information for specifying the user. For example, a user ID, a user's name, a user account, or an e-mail address correspond to examples of "user identification information."

For example, "giving a reward to a user" means changing parameter data. That is, "giving a reward to a user" means increasing or decreasing a parameter related to the user (in other words, a parameter associated with the user's identity). "Granting a reward to a user" may mean increasing or decreasing a parameter associated with the user's game object (in other words, a parameter of the game object associated with the user's identity).

Also, for example, "giving a reward to a user" means giving a game object to a user. In other words, "giving a reward to the user" means giving the user a new game object that the user does not possess, or giving the user a game object that the user already possesses, thereby providing the user with a reward. is to increase the number of game objects owned by . In other words, ``giving a reward to a user'' means associating a new game object with the user's identification information, or in a state in which the user's identification information and the game object are associated, the game object is further associated with the user's identification information. , to increase the number of game objects associated with the user's identity.

Further, for example, "giving a reward to the user" means giving in-game currency or game points to the user. In other words, "giving a reward to the user" means increasing the in-game currency or game points owned by the user. In other words, "giving a reward to the user" means that the user's identification information and the in-game currency or game points are associated with the user's identification information by further associating the in-game currency or game points with the user's identification information. to increase in-game currency or game points.

Further, for example, "giving a reward to a user" means giving a title to a user. In other words, "giving a reward to a user" means associating the title with the user's identity.

"Giving a reward to the user based on the second game object whose parameter data is in the first predetermined state" means that the second game object whose parameter data is in the first predetermined state satisfies a predetermined condition. Secondly, (triggered by satisfaction of a predetermined condition by a second game object whose parameter data is in a first predetermined state), a reward is given to the user.

Here, the "predetermined condition" refers to all of the second game objects associated with one group identification information among the plurality of second game objects whose parameter data are in the first predetermined state, or This is a condition as to whether or not a state is reached in which more than the number of second game objects are included.

Alternatively, the "predetermined condition" may be a condition whether the number of second game objects whose parameter data are in the first predetermined state is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, or whether the parameter data is in the first predetermined state. The condition may be whether or not the second game object that becomes the second game object is a specific second game object.

"Giving a reward to the user based on the second game object whose parameter data is in the first predetermined state" means that the reward is determined based on the second game object whose parameter data is in the first predetermined state. , awarding the determined reward to the user.

In this case, the greater the number of second game objects whose parameter data are in the first predetermined state, the higher the value of the reward may be. Alternatively, the higher the level, ability, or rarity of the second game object whose parameter data is in the first predetermined state, the higher the value of the reward.

“Enhancing the value of rewards” means granting more rewards, granting rewards with higher rarity, or granting rewards with higher usefulness (performance, etc.). .

For example, each of the second game objects is associated with at least one of the plurality of group identification information, and the reward granting unit 160 selects , includes all of the second game objects associated with one of the group identification information of the plurality of group identification information, or a reference number or more of the second game objects, the reward is provided to the user Grant to.

"Group identification information" is information that identifies a group. For example, a group ID, a group name, or the like corresponds to an example of "group identification information." A "group" is a group to which one or more game objects belong. A "group" can be rephrased as a team, a party, a guild, or the like.

"A game object is associated with at least one of a plurality of group identification information" means that the game object belongs to at least one of a plurality of groups.

The “reference number” may be a fixed numerical value, or a numerical value determined according to the total number of second game objects associated with one group identification information (for example, a numerical value obtained by multiplying the total number of second game objects obtained by a predetermined percentage).

In the case of the aforementioned baseball game, the completion reward corresponds to an example of the "reward". When all the rival player characters belonging to one rival team are in the absorption complete state, the reward granting unit 160 grants the completion reward to the user. It should be noted that when a reference number or more of the rival player characters belonging to one rival team are in the absorption complete state, the reward granting unit 160 may reward the completion reward to the user.

[4. Processing] Next, processing executed in the game system 1 will be described.

[4-1] FIG. 32 shows an example of processing executed at the start of each turn. For example, the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 (an example of the game control device) functions as the association unit 120 by executing the process shown in FIG. 32 according to the program. The processing shown in FIG. 32 is executed based on the data stored in the data storage unit 100. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 32, first, the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 determines teammate characters to be assigned to each practice item (S100). For example, for each teammate character registered in the teammate character data D107, the control unit 11 selects one of the six practice items (hitting, muscle strength, base running, shoulder strength, defense, and mental practice) as probability information. (randomly), and the selected practice item is determined as the destination to which the teammate character is assigned. Note that the control unit 11 also selects (randomly) one of the six practice items for the supervisor character and the scout character based on the probability information, and the selected practice item is assigned to the supervisor character or the scout character. to be assigned. Further, the control unit 11 registers the result of determination in step S100 in training status data D108 (teammate character field).

Also, the control unit 11 refers to the rival team data D105 and determines whether or not there is a rival team whose absorption target flag is ON (S102).

If there is a rival team whose absorption target flag is ON (S102: Yes), the control unit 11 determines a destination practice item to which the rival player character of the rival team is assigned as an absorption target (S104). For example, the control unit 11 (randomly) selects one of the six practice items based on the probability information, and determines the selected practice item as the allocation destination. When there are a plurality of rival teams whose absorption target flags are on, the control unit 11 determines, for each of the plurality of rival teams, a practice item to which the rival player characters of the rival team are assigned as absorption targets. In this case, control is performed so that rival player characters of two or more rival teams are not assigned as absorption targets to the same practice item. It should be noted that the control unit 11 registers the determination result in step S104 in the training status data D108 (investigation/absorption target field).

When step S104 has been executed, or when it is determined in step S102 that there is no rival team whose absorption target flag is ON (S102: No), the control unit 11 collects training status data D108 (investigation/absorption target field ) to determine whether or not there is a practice item to which no absorption target is assigned among the six practice items (S106).

If there is a practice item to which no absorption target is assigned (S106: Yes), the control unit 11 determines rival teams to be assigned as research targets to the practice item (S108). For example, the control unit 11 refers to the rival team data D105, selects (randomly) one of the rival teams whose survey target flag is on based on probability information, and uses the selected rival team as a practice item. to determine as a rival team to assign as a research target. In this case, control is performed so that the same rival team is not assigned as a research target to a plurality of practice items. It should be noted that the control unit 11 registers the determination result in step S108 in the training status data D108 (investigation/absorption target field).

When step S108 is executed, or when it is determined in step S106 that there is no exercise item to which no absorption target is assigned (S106: No), the control unit 11 displays the main command image G300 on the display unit 15. (S110).

[4-2] FIG. 33 shows an example of processing executed when a practice item to be executed is determined while the practice command image G400 is being displayed. For example, when the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 (an example of the game control device) executes the processing shown in FIG. 150. The processing shown in FIG. 33 is executed based on the data stored in the data storage unit 100. FIG.

When the practice command image G400 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 33, the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 monitors whether or not any practice item has been confirmed as an execution target (S120). For example, when one of the parts P441 to P446 of the practice command image G400 is provisionally selected and that part is further selected, the control unit 11 determines that the practice item to be executed has been determined.

If any of the practice items has been confirmed as an execution target (S120: Yes), the control section 11 refers to the training status data D108 (practice execution status field) and acquires the level of the practice item to be executed (S122). ). Also, the control unit 11 refers to the practice effect data D101 to acquire effect information corresponding to the practice item to be executed and the level acquired in step S122 (S124). That is, the control unit 11 identifies the type and increase amount of experience points registered in association with the combination of the practice item to be executed and the level acquired in step S122.

The control unit 11 also determines whether or not the conditions for generating the special tag training event are satisfied (S126). For example, the control unit 11 sets a practice item determined as an object to be executed as a good practice based on the development status data D108 (teammate character field) and the teammate character data D107 (favorite practice field). determines whether or not the assigned teammate character (event character) is assigned. Also, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the evaluation of the teammate character with respect to the main character is equal to or higher than a predetermined standard, based on the training status data D108 (evaluation field). A teammate character (event character) for which the practice item is set as a good practice is associated with the practice item determined to be executed, and the evaluation of the teammate character with respect to the main character is a predetermined criterion. In the case above, the control unit 11 determines that the condition for generating the special tag training event is satisfied.

After execution of step S126, the control unit 11 executes practice processing (S128). For example, the control unit 11 accesses the training status data D108 (experience point field) and selects the type of experience point specified in step S124 out of the five types of experience points (strength, agility, technique, breaking ball, and mental point). Experience points are increased by the increment specified in step S124. In addition, when the conditions for generating the special tag training event are satisfied, the control unit 11 accesses the training status data D108 (experience point field) and selects five types of experience points (strength, agility, technique, breaking ball, and mental points), the type of experience points identified in step S124 is increased by twice the amount of increase identified in step S124.

In addition to the above, the control unit 11 accesses the training status data D108 (exercise execution status field), increases the number of executions of the practice item to be executed by 1, and when the number of executions reaches a predetermined number of times, the practice item is executed. Raises the level by one. In addition, the control unit 11 accesses the training status data D108 (physical strength parameter field) and decreases the value of the physical strength parameter in order to decrease the physical strength parameter of the main character according to the execution of practice. Furthermore, the control unit 11 accesses the training status data D108 (evaluation field) and updates the evaluation of the teammate character and the like for the main character.

After executing step S128, the control section 11 determines whether or not a research target is assigned to the practice item to be executed based on the training status data D108 (survey/absorption target field) (S130). If a survey target is assigned to the exercise item to be executed (S130: Yes), the control unit 11 executes survey processing for the survey target (S132). This investigation processing will be described later (see FIG. 34).

On the other hand, if no survey target is assigned to the practice item to be executed (S130: No), the control unit 11 determines that the practice item to be executed has an absorption target based on the development status data D108 (survey/absorption target field). It is determined whether or not it is assigned (S134). If an absorption target is assigned to the exercise item to be executed (S134: Yes), the control unit 11 executes absorption processing from the absorption target (S136). This absorption process will be described later (see FIGS. 35A and 35B).

When step S132 or S136 is executed, or when it is determined in step S134 that the absorption target is not assigned to the practice item to be executed (S134: No), the control unit 11 executes another game process. (S138).

For example, based on the development status data D108 (investigation/absorption target field), the control unit 11 determines whether absorption targets are assigned to practice items other than the practice item to be executed. When an absorption target is assigned to a practice item other than the exercise item to be executed, the control unit 11 identifies the rival team to which the rival player character assigned as the absorption target belongs. Then, the control unit 11 accesses the rival team data D105 and reduces the numerical value registered in the absorbable remaining amount field of the specified rival team by a predetermined amount (for example, 3 points). It should be noted that when the numerical value registered in the absorbable remaining amount field becomes zero, processing similar to steps S13630 to S13638 in FIG. 35B, which will be described later, is executed.

Further, for example, the control unit 11 executes processing for generating an event related to an event character or an event set in a scenario. Specifically, the control unit 11 (randomly) determines whether or not to generate an event based on probability information. Alternatively, the control unit 11 determines whether or not to generate the event based on whether or not the generation condition set for the event is satisfied. When it is determined to generate an event, the control unit 11 generates the event, and executes processing for updating the physical strength parameter, motivation parameter, experience points, or knack parameter of the main character based on the result of the event. do.

After executing step S138, the control unit 11 displays a practice result image G500 on the display unit 15 based on the execution results of steps S128, S132, S136, and S138 (S140).

[4-3] FIG. 34 shows an example of the investigation process executed in step S132 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 34, first, the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 assigns practice items to be executed based on training status data D108 (teammate character field) and teammate character data D107 (event character flag). The number of event characters (Na) among the teammate characters in the game is obtained (S13200).

In addition, the control unit 11 refers to the development status data D108 (investigation/acquisition target field) to specify a rival team assigned as an investigation target to the practice item to be executed (S13202).

After executing step S13202, the control unit 11 accesses the rival team data D105, updates the research target flag of the rival team identified in step S13202 to OFF, and updates the absorption target flag to ON (S13204). At the start of the training part (scenario), the investigation target flag of each rival team is initially set to ON, and the absorption target flag is initially set to OFF.

Further, the control unit 11 selects Na rival player characters from the rival player characters who belong to the rival team specified in step S13202 and whose absorption completion flag is turned off (S13206). For example, the control unit 11 selects Na rival player characters in ascending order of rival player character IDs. Alternatively, the control unit 11 may (randomly) select Na rival player characters based on the probability information. If the number of rival player characters whose absorption completion flags are turned off among the rival teams specified in step S13202 is less than Na, the control unit 11 selects fewer than Na rival player characters.

After executing step S13206, the control unit 11 determines the absorption target type of the rival player character selected in step S13206 (S13208). For example, the control unit 11 selects an absorption target corresponding to the absorption type of the first event character assigned to the practice item to be executed as the absorption target type of the first rival athlete character selected in step S13206. Determine type. That is, the control unit 11 sets the absorption target corresponding to the absorption type of the i-th event character assigned to the practice item to be executed as the absorption target type of the i-th rival player character selected in step S13206. Determine type. For example, when the absorption type of the event character is "strength", the control unit 11 determines the absorption target type of the rival player character to be "strength". Note that the control unit 11 accesses the rival player character data D106 (absorbed target type field) of the rival team identified in step S13202, and registers the determination result in step S13208.

Also, the control unit 11 accesses the rival player character data D106 of the rival team identified in step S13202, and updates the absorption target flag of the rival player character selected in step S13206 to ON (S13210). At the start of the training part (scenario), the absorption target flag of each rival player character is initially set to OFF.

Also, the control unit 11 determines the absorbable total amount from the rival player character selected in step S13206 (S13212). For example, the control unit 11 refers to the total absorbable amount data D102, acquires the total absorbable amount corresponding to the number (Na) acquired in step S13200, and stores the acquired total absorbable amount as the rival selected in step S13206. It is determined as the total amount that can be absorbed from the player character. In this case, the control unit 11 accesses the rival team data D105 and registers the total absorbable amount determined in step S13212 in the absorbable remaining amount field of the rival team identified in step S13202. After executing step S13212, the control unit 11 ends this process and executes step S138 in FIG.

[4-4] FIGS. 35A and 35B show an example of the absorption process executed in step S136 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 35A , first, control unit 11 of game terminal 10 refers to breeding situation data D108 (teammate character field) to determine the number (Nb) of teammate characters assigned to the practice item to be executed. (S13600).

Also, the control unit 11 refers to the training status data D108 (investigation/absorption target field), and specifies the rival team and rival player characters assigned as absorption targets to the practice item to be executed (S13602).

After executing step S13602, the control section 11 refers to the rival player character data D106 (absorption target type), and specifies the absorption target type of the rival player character specified in step S13602 (S13604).

The control unit 11 also determines the amount of absorption from each rival player character specified in step S13602 (S13606). For example, the control unit 11 refers to the absorption amount data D103, obtains the absorption amount corresponding to the number (Nb) obtained in step S13600, and applies the obtained absorption amount to each rival player character specified in step S13602. Determined as the amount absorbed from

After executing step S13606, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the absorption amount determined in step S13606 is greater than the remaining absorbable amount (S13608). For example, the control unit 11 refers to the rival team data D105 and acquires the numerical value registered in the absorbable remaining amount field of the rival team identified in step S13602. Then, the control unit 11 compares the remaining absorbable amount obtained in this way with the absorption amount determined in step S13606, thereby determining whether or not the absorption amount is greater than the remaining absorbable amount. do.

If the absorption amount determined in step S13606 is greater than the remaining absorbable amount (S13608: Yes), the control unit 11 changes the absorption amount (S13610). For example, the control unit 11 changes the absorption amount from each rival player character specified in step S13602 to the absorption amount calculated by the above formula (1).

If step S13610 has been executed, or if it is not determined in step S13608 that the absorption amount is greater than the absorbable remaining amount (S13608: No), the control unit 11 increases the experience points of the main character (S13612). . For example, the control unit 11 accesses the training status data D108 (experience point field), and increases the type of experience points corresponding to the absorption target type specified in step S13604 by the absorption amount determined in step S13606 or S13610. .

For example, if a rival player character whose absorption target type is "strength" and a rival player character whose absorption target type is "agility" are assigned as absorption targets to practice items to be executed, the control unit 11 increases strength points by the absorption amount determined in step S13606 or S13610, and increases agility points by the absorption amount determined in step S13606 or S13610.

After executing step S13612, the control unit 11 decreases the absorbable remaining amount (S13614). For example, the control unit 11 refers to the rival team data D105, and reduces the total amount of experience points increased in step S13612 from the numerical value registered in the absorbable remaining amount field of the rival team identified in step S13602. . If the value obtained by subtracting the total amount from the remaining absorbable amount is less than zero, the control unit 11 registers zero in the remaining absorbable amount field of the rival team identified in step S13602.

After executing step S13614, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the absorbable remaining amount after the decrease in step S13614 is zero (S13616). If the remaining absorbable amount after reduction is not zero (S13616: No), the control unit 11 terminates this process and executes step S138 in FIG.

On the other hand, if the remaining absorbable amount after the decrease is zero (S13616: Yes), as shown in FIG. S13620). This determination is the same as step S126 in FIG.

If the special tag training event generation condition is satisfied (S13620: Yes), the control unit 11 selects the rival player character identified in step S13602 (i.e., The number (Nc) of rival player characters assigned as absorption targets to the practice item to be executed is obtained (S13622).

After executing step S13622, the control unit 11 determines the number of tricks (Nd) and the trick level to be acquired by the main character (S13624). For example, the control unit 11 refers to the trick data D104, acquires the number of tricks and the trick level corresponding to the number (Nc) acquired in step S13622, and causes the main character to acquire the acquired number of tricks and the trick level. It is determined as the trick number (Nd) and the trick level.

After executing step S13624, the control unit 11 selects Nd special abilities (S13626). For example, the control unit 11 refers to the rival player character data D106 (special ability parameter field), and (randomly) selects the special ability acquired by the rival player character specified in step S13602 based on the probability information. , Nd special abilities. In this case, control may be performed so that the master character's acquired special ability is not selected. Further, when the number of special abilities that the rival player character has acquired is less than Nd, the control unit 11 selects a special ability from among the special abilities that the rival player character has not acquired to obtain Nd special abilities. It is also possible to select individual special abilities.

After executing step S13626, the control unit 11 updates the trick parameters of the main character (S13628). For example, the control unit 11 accesses the training status data D108 (trick parameter field) and updates the trick levels of the Nd special abilities selected in step S13626 to the trick levels determined in step S13624.

When step S13628 has been executed, or when it is determined in step S13620 that the condition for generating the special tag training event is not satisfied (S13620: No), the control unit 11 accesses the rival player character data D106 and performs step The absorption target flag of the rival player character specified in S13602 is updated to OFF, and the absorption completion flag is updated to ON (S13630).

Also, the control unit 11 accesses the rival team data D105 and updates the absorption target flag of the rival team identified in step S13602 to OFF (S13632).

Furthermore, the control unit 11 refers to the rival player character data D106 and determines whether or not the absorption completion flags of all the rival player characters of the rival team identified in step S13602 are ON (S13634).

Then, if it is determined that the absorption completion flags of all the rival player characters of the rival team identified in step S13602 are not turned on (S13634: No), the control unit 11 accesses the rival team data D105, The survey target flag of the team is updated to ON (S13636). On the other hand, if it is determined that the absorption completion flags of all the rival player characters of the rival team identified in step S13602 are ON (S13634: Yes), the control unit 11 accesses the rival team data D105, is updated to ON (S13638). After executing step S13636 or S13638, the control unit 11 ends this process and executes step S138 in FIG.

[4-5] FIG. 36 shows an example of processing executed when the part P357 is selected while the main command image G300 is being displayed. For example, the control unit 11 of the game terminal 10 (an example of the game control device) executes the processing shown in FIG. The processing shown in FIG. 36 is executed based on the data stored in the data storage unit 100. FIG.

When the part P357 of the main command image G300 is selected, as shown in FIG. 36, the control unit 11 first refers to the rival team data D105 to determine whether there is a rival team whose absorption completion flag is ON. Determine (S150).

After executing step S150, the control unit 11 displays the absorption completion team image G600 on the display unit 15 (S152). For example, the control unit 11 displays on the display unit 15 an absorption completion team image G600 including a part P611 corresponding to a rival team whose absorption completion flag is ON.

While the absorption completion team image G600 is displayed on the display section 15, the control section 11 monitors whether or not the part P613 is selected. Then, when the part P613 is selected, the control unit 11 refers to the rival team data D105 (completion reward field), identifies the contents of the completion reward, and generates an effect according to the completion reward (S154). . In this case, the control unit 11 accesses the rival team data D105 (use flag field) and updates the use flag to ON. Note that the use flag is initially set to off at the start of the training part.

[5. Summary] In the game system 1 described above, an absorption function is provided in which the main character acquires (absorbs) experience points and tricks for acquiring special abilities from the rival player characters of the rival team. In this absorption function, the main character's experience points and trick parameters are changed based on the absorption target associated with the practice item determined as the execution target. In particular, in the absorption function, when the number of absorption targets assigned to a practice item is large, the amount of increase in experience points is set larger than when the number is small (see FIG. 11), and the number of tips increases. It is set small (see FIG. 18). By doing so, it is possible to provide the interest of selecting a practice item to be executed in consideration of the number of absorption targets assigned to the practice item. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of a game in which selection is accepted from among a plurality of practice items and the parameter data of the main character is changed based on the selected practice item.

In addition, in the absorption function, a rival player character is selected from the rival team assigned as a survey target to the practice item selected to be executed in a certain turn, and the selected rival player character is selected in the subsequent turn. A character is associated with a practice item as an absorption target. By doing so, the user can be involved in the selection of a rival player character to be assigned as an absorption target to a practice item in a subsequent turn, depending on the practice item selected as an execution target in a certain turn.

In addition, in the absorption function, a number of rival athlete characters corresponding to the number of event characters assigned to the practice item selected for execution in a certain turn are selected as absorption targets, and in subsequent turns, The rival athlete character thus obtained is associated with the practice item as an absorption target. By doing so, the user can select the number of rival athlete characters to be assigned as absorption targets to the practice item in the subsequent turn, depending on the practice item to be executed in a certain turn.

Also, in the absorption function, the main character is given experience points of a type corresponding to the absorption target type of the absorption target assigned to the practice item determined as the execution target. By doing so, it is possible to provide the user with the interest of selecting an exercise item to be executed in consideration of the absorption target type of the absorption target assigned to the exercise item.

Also, in the absorption function, the main character's experience points are increased in exchange for decreasing the absorption remaining amount of the absorption target assigned to the practice item selected as the execution target. In addition, when a special tag training event has occurred, if the remaining amount of absorbable targets assigned to the practice item selected for execution becomes zero, the main character will be given tips for acquiring special abilities. be done. By doing so, the interest of selecting a practice item to be executed in consideration of the remaining absorbable amount of the absorption target assigned to the practice item selected to be executed and the conditions for generating a special tag training event are reduced. In a satisfied state, it is possible to provide the user with the interest of selecting a practice item to be executed while considering that the remaining absorbable amount of the absorption target assigned to the practice item selected as the object to be executed becomes zero.

Also, in the absorption function, the trick of the special ability of the absorption target assigned to the practice item determined as the execution target is imparted to the main character. By doing so, it is possible to provide the user with the interest of selecting a practice item to be executed in consideration of the special ability of the absorption target assigned to the practice item.

Also, in the absorption function, a completion reward is given to the user when all rival player characters belonging to one rival team have been absorbed (see FIG. 25).
