[4] Processing Method of the Present Embodiment [4.1] Outline of Game The server device 10 of the present embodiment is configured to cooperate with the terminal device 20 and execute a given game. Various games such as action games, adventure games, role-playing games, puzzle games, card games, racing games, simulation games, fighting games, fighting games, music games, and participatory music appreciation games are assumed as given games. I can. However, in the following, the given game is assumed to be a turn-based or real-time "strategy simulation game." A strategy simulation game is a type of battle game and simulation game, and is sometimes called a "strategy game." During the execution of the program of the strategy simulation game, events such as an item synthesis game, an item transaction, an item lottery game (gacha) may occur, for example, between battles.

A strategy simulation game is, in principle, a battle game in which a character (player character) registered in the deck data 146C by the player from among the items owned by the player (including characters) is played against a computer-generated enemy character (NPC). is. When a player character (or a party or group consisting of a plurality of player characters) wins against an enemy character in a strategy simulation game battle, the experience value parameter of the player character increases. The player's owned characters are stored in the owned item list 146A. The owned item list 146A is managed by the item management section 105. FIG.

[4.2] Possession Item List Next, the player's possession item list 146A will be described. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the player's owned item list 146A. The user information 146 is the storage destination of the player's possessed item list 146A. As shown in FIG. 4, the player's owned item list 146A includes the character ID of the character owned by the player, the group to which the character belongs, the type of the character, the progression parameters of the character, and the ability parameters of the character. , and the arrival bonus of the character are stored in association with the player ID of the player.

The progression parameters of the character include a pre-arrival experience value parameter of the character (an example of a first progression parameter), a character level of the character, and a post-arrival experience value parameter of the character (an example of a second progression parameter). (Note that since the character level is linked to the pre-arrival experience value parameter, it is also possible to regard this as an example of the first progress parameter.).

The character's ability parameters include the character's attack power parameter, the character's defense power parameter, and the character's skill level parameter.

The character's arrival bonus includes an arrival bonus associated with the character's attack power parameter, an arrival bonus associated with the character's defense power parameter, and an arrival bonus associated with the character's skill level parameter.

The pre-arrival experience value parameter is an experience value parameter counted before the character level and ability parameters of the player character reach the upper limit (limit value), and the post-arrival experience value parameter is the character level and ability of the player character. It is an empirical value parameter that is counted after the parameter reaches the upper limit (limit value).

Hereinafter, the period before the character level and ability parameters of the player character reach the upper limit (limit value) is appropriately referred to as "before reaching", and the character level and ability parameter of the player character reach the upper limit (limit value). The period after the arrival is appropriately referred to as "after arrival".

In this embodiment, each parameter is assumed to vary according to the following criteria.

The character's pre-arrival experience value parameter is increased when the character wins the battle before reaching.

The character level of a character increases when the pre-arrival experience value parameter of the character reaches the upper limit value (limit value).

The pre-arrival experience value parameter of the character is reset when the character level of the character is improved, and the counting is restarted.

A character's ability parameters (attack power parameter, defense power parameter, skill level parameter) increase when the character level of the character increases, and when the character level reaches the upper limit (limit value), the ability parameter It is assumed that the player cannot attempt to increase (attack power parameter, defense power parameter, skill level parameter) any further.

The post-arrival experience value parameter of the character is increased when the character wins the battle after reaching.

A character's arrival bonus is a point given to the ability parameter of the character at the time of arrival.

[4.3] Deck Data Next, the deck data 146C will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a formation screen 300 for the player to generate deck data 146C. The display destination of this organization screen 300 is the terminal device 20 used by the player. For example, in response to a request from the terminal device 20 of the player, the display control unit 111 of the server device 10 refers to the player's possessed item list 146A, generates image data of the organization screen 300, and displays it in a predetermined format on the terminal device. 20. The terminal device 20 that has received the image data displays the organization screen 300 on the display unit 290 based on the image data.

As shown in FIG. 5, the formation screen 300 includes a list area 300B displaying a list of characters possessed by the player, and a designation area 300A for the player to designate characters to be registered in the deck data 146C.

For example, the player can move any one of the owned characters displayed in the list area 300B to the designated area 300A by performing a drag-and-drop operation with a fingertip, thereby registering the character as a character to be registered in the deck data 146C. can be specified as one of In the example of FIG. 5, three characters 310-1, 310-2, and 310-3 are specified as characters to be registered in the deck data 146C.

Here, the image 310E displayed near the character 310-2 in the list area 300B of FIG. An image 310A displayed near 310-2 is an attack power gauge reflecting the attack power parameter of the character, and an image 310D displayed near the character 310-2 reflects the defense power parameter of the character. The image 310S displayed near the character 310-2 is a skill level gauge reflecting the skill level parameters of the character. Also, the image 310L displayed near the character 310-2 is a numerical value (text) reflecting the character level of the character. Thus, in the list area 300B, the parameters of each character are displayed in a visible state together with the image of each character. Therefore, the player can confirm the parameters of his own character on the list area 300B when generating the deck data 146C.

Although the parameters of each character are not displayed in the designation area 300A of FIG. 5, they may be displayed in the same way as the parameters of each character in the list area 300B.

Also, in the organization screen 300 of FIG. 5, each character is represented as a card, but each character may be represented as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional object.

After that, when the player selects a confirmation button (not shown), the information in the designated area 300A is read by the terminal device 20 and transmitted from the terminal device 20 to the server device 10 as deck data 146C in a predetermined format. The game management unit 103 of the server device 10 writes the deck data 146C received from the player's terminal device 20 into the user information 146 in association with the player's user ID.

At this time, the game management unit 103 specifies the parameters of the character registered in the deck data 146C based on the player's possessed item list 146A, and executes the process of adding the parameters to the deck data 146C as game data.

After that, the game management unit 103 generates the automatic calculation data 148 of the strategy simulation game played by the player based on the deck data 146C (including game data) written in the user information 146, and writes it to the storage unit 140.

The automatic calculation data 148 is transmitted in a predetermined format from the server device 10 to the player's terminal device 20 as necessary. The terminal device 20 displays the game screen ( FIG. 6 ) on the display section 290 based on the automatic calculation data 148 .

[4.4] Game Screen Next, the game screen will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a game screen 400 of the strategy simulation game. The game screen 400 is displayed on the display section 290 of the terminal device 20 based on the automatic calculation data 148 in cooperation with the display control section 213 of the terminal device 20 of the player by the display control section 111 of the server device 10 .

As shown in FIG. 6, the game screen 400 includes a moving image or still image of the object space. In the object space, a plurality of characters (here, three characters 310-1, 310-2, and 310-3) registered in the deck data 146C are stored in the deck data 146C.
Arranged in a formation according to 6C.

The parameters of each character are reflected in the behavior (battle behavior) of the characters 310-1, 310-2, and 310-3. In the game screen 400, the characters 310-1, 310-2, and 310-3 sequentially (for example, turn-based) attack the enemy characters 400-1 and 400-2 attacking from the right side of the game screen 400. in) conduct combat actions. Since the processing itself related to the strategy simulation game is well known, the description thereof will be omitted here.

The image 310E displayed near the character 310-2 in the game screen 400 of FIG. An image 310A displayed near 310-2 is an attack power gauge reflecting the attack power parameter of the character, and an image 310D displayed near the character 310-2 reflects the defense power parameter of the character. The image 310S displayed near the character 310-2 is a skill level gauge reflecting the skill level parameters of the character. An image 310L displayed near the character 310-2 is a numerical value (text) reflecting the character level of the character.

Similarly, an experience value gauge 310E, an attack power gauge 310A, a defense power gauge 310D, a skill level gauge 310S, and a character level numerical value 310L are displayed near each of the characters 310-1 and 310-3.

In this way, on the game screen 400, the parameters of each character are displayed in a visible state together with the image of each character.

[4.5] Operation of Server Apparatus Before and After Reaching the Limit A management unit 109 and a second granting unit 110 are provided.

The first progress management unit 106 changes the pre-arrival experience value parameter (an example of the first progress parameter) associated with the player character according to the progress of the strategy simulation game by the player character (win or lose in battle). Execute the process of changing the given limit value as the limit. In this embodiment, the pre-arrival experience value parameter of the player character is increased when the player character wins the battle of the strategy simulation game before the arrival.

The ability management unit 107 stores an attack power parameter, a defense power parameter, and a skill level parameter (an example of an ability parameter of 2 or more) that define the player character's attack power, defense power, and skill level (an example of an ability of 2 or more). , in accordance with the character level interlocked with the pre-arrival experience value parameter, a process of changing within a given limit value is executed. In this embodiment, the ability parameter increases when the character level increases, and when the character level reaches the upper limit (limit value), the player basically changes the ability parameter (attack power parameter, defense Strength parameter, skill level parameter) cannot be increased any further.

After the pre-arrival experience value parameter, character level, and ability parameter (attack power parameter, defense power parameter, skill level parameter) reach their respective upper limits (limit values), the first granting unit 108 (as at least one condition) and at least one of abilities (offensive power, defensive power, skill level) (an example of a first privilege) is given to the player. In the present embodiment, as the reaching bonus, the ability (attack power, defense power, skill level) of the player character is strengthened beyond the limit value of the ability parameters (attack power parameter, defense power parameter, skill level parameter). Points (numerical values) are given to the player.

The second progress management unit 109 sets the pre-arrival experience value parameter, the character level linked thereto, and the ability parameters linked thereto (attack power parameter, defense power parameter, skill level parameter) to each upper limit value (limit value). ) is reached (at least as one condition), the process of changing the post-arrival experience value parameter (an example of the second progress parameter) according to the progress of the strategy simulation game by the player character is started. In this embodiment, the post-arrival experience value parameter of the player character is increased when the player character wins the battle of the strategy simulation game after the arrival.

The second provision unit 110 provides the player with a further bonus (an example of a second privilege) related to the player character when the post-arrival experience value parameter satisfies a given condition (for example, reaching a limit value). Grant to. In this embodiment, when the post-arrival experience value parameter reaches the limit value, as a further bonus, an arrival bonus (points) is assigned to at least one ability (attack power, defense power, skill level) of the player character. Players are given the opportunity to change.

According to the above configuration, the player can continue to use his/her own player character and make the player character an attainment character (make the pre-arrival experience value parameter, character level, and ability parameter reach their respective limit values). , a reaching bonus (point) for at least one of the abilities (attack power, defense power, skill level) of the reaching character can be acquired. Also, the player can obtain a further bonus, an opportunity to change the allocation of the achievement bonus, by continuing to use the achievement character to reach the limit of the post-arrival experience value parameter. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to encourage the player to continue using the reaching character, and to lure the player to the strategy simulation game over a longer period of time.

[4.6] Specific Processing Before and After Arrival Focusing on a certain player character 310-1, specific processing before and after the player character 310-1 becomes the arrival character will be described below.

As described above, basically, when the player character 310-1 wins the battle, the pre-arrival experience value parameter of the player character 310-1 increases and the pre-arrival experience value parameter reaches the upper limit value (limit value). When it reaches, the character level of the player character 310-1 is increased. However, when the character level of the player character 310-1 increases, the pre-arrival experience value parameter is reset and the count is started again.

Thereafter, when each of the character level, attack power parameter, defense power parameter, and skill level parameter of the player character 310-1 reaches the limit value, the player character 310-1 becomes a reaching character, and the ability of the player character 310-1 is reached. Parameters (attack power parameter, defense power parameter, skill level parameter) will no longer increase.

At this time, on the game screen 400, the player character 310-1's experience value gauge 310E, attack power gauge 310A, defense power gauge 310D, skill level gauge 310S, and character level numerical value 310L are shown in FIG. The limit value (MAX) is shown as indicated.

Then, a reach bonus of, for example, 33 points is given to each of the attack power parameter, defense power parameter, and skill level parameter of the player character 310-1 (FIG. 7(B)).

At this time, among the user information 146, the reach bonus related to the attack power parameter, the reach bonus related to the defensive power parameter, and the reach bonus related to the skill level parameter of the player character 310-1 are increased from zero points to 33 points. .

On the game screen 400, the attack power gauge 310A, the defense power gauge 310D, and the skill level gauge 310S of the player character 310-1 each reflect a reach bonus 500 of 33 points as shown in FIG. 7(B). be done.

On the other hand, in generating the automatic calculation data 148 based on the deck data 146C, the game management section 103, if the player character 310-1 registered in the deck data 146C is the reaching character, the attack of the player character 310-1. An attainment bonus (here, 33 points each) is added to each of the power parameter, defense power parameter, and skill level parameter. In this case, since the attack power parameter, defense power parameter, and skill level parameter of player character 310-1 are increased by 33 points each, player character 310-1 has a super attack power equivalent to 33 points in the battle of the strategy simulation game. It will demonstrate power, super defensive power, and super skill.

Here, in order to impart super offensive power, super defensive power, or super skill to the player character 310-1, the game management unit 103 assigns a point larger than zero to the offensive power parameter, the defensive power parameter, or the skill level parameter. Although the case of adding (33 points) has been described, a similar effect may be obtained by subtracting, multiplying, or dividing another point.

After arrival, the post-arrival experience value parameter of the player character 310-1 increases each time the player character 310-1 wins a match in the strategy simulation game. On the game screen 400, such post-arrival experience value parameters are reflected in the experience value gauge 310E of the player character 310-1 (FIG. 7(C)). In the example of FIG. 7C, the pre-arrival experience value parameter and the post-arrival experience value parameter are superimposed and displayed as gauges of different colors.

After that, when the post-arrival experience value parameter of the player character 310-1 reaches the limit value, as shown in FIG. be done.

Here, the point change button 600 is a button for changing the points as the reach bonus 500 of the player character 310-1 among the attack power parameter, defense power parameter, and skill level parameter of the player character 310-1. When the player taps the point replacement button 600 with a finger, a point replacement screen 700 is displayed as shown in FIG.

The player performs, for example, a drag-and-drop operation on the point replacement screen 700 to transfer the attainment bonus 500 (points) associated with some ability parameters (skill level parameters in FIG. 9) to other ability parameters ( attack power parameter) can be replaced.

[4.7] Point replacement As described above, in the server device 10 of the present embodiment, the second granting unit 110 provides an achievement bonus (here, 33 points) to the player. According to this configuration, the player can obtain the ability (attack power, defense power, skill level) of the target character only by satisfying a given condition (here, reaching the limit value of the experience value parameter after reaching) by using the target character. You can change the balance of your own will and customize the reaching character. If it is possible to customize the arrival character, it is considered that the player's affection for the arrival character will increase.

[4.8] Bonus Points As described above, in the server device 10 of the present embodiment, the arrival bonus is obtained by converting abilities (attack power, defense power, skill level) into ability parameters (attack power parameter, defense power parameter, skill level parameter). ) is a point (numerical value) for strengthening beyond the limit value of ), and further bonuses distribute the points as an arrival bonus for at least one ability (attack power, defense power, skill level) to other abilities. Opportunity. According to this configuration, the player strengthens at least one of the abilities (offensive power, defensive power, skill level) of the reaching character beyond the limit value when the reaching bonus (here, 33 points) is obtained. It is possible to In addition, since the player can acquire the arrival bonus as points, the player can customize the arrival character in detail. For example, it is possible to perform detailed customization such as changing only 10 points out of the 33 points of the defensive power parameter to the offensive power parameter.

[4.9] Bonus point control In the server device 10 of the present embodiment, the first imparting unit 108 (i) the relationship between the attributes of the player character and the attributes of the enemy characters 400-1 and 400-2, ( ii) the attributes of the stage to which the player character belongs; You may change the points as an achievement bonus.

For example, when the attributes of the player character and the enemy characters 400-1 and 400-2 involved in the battle of the strategy simulation game are common (exactly the same), the first imparting unit 108 gives the player character a reaching bonus of " 33 points", and if the attributes of the player character and the enemy characters 400-1 and 400-2 involved in the battle are not common (not exactly the same), the reaching bonus for the player character is set to be more valuable than "33 points". It may be set to a low "11 points".

Further, when the attribute of the stage to which the player character belongs is a specific attribute, the first imparting unit 108 sets the reach bonus for the player character to "33 points", and sets the attribute of the stage to which the player character belongs. is not the specific attribute, the achievement bonus for the player character may be set to "11 points".

Further, when the player character and the ally character registered in the deck data 146C have the same attribute, the first imparting unit 108 sets the reach bonus for the player character to "33 points", If the attribute of the player character and the ally character registered in the . Here, another player character registered in the same deck data 146C as a certain player character is referred to as an "ally character".

According to the above configuration, the value of points as the reaching bonus changes according to at least one of the attribute of the reaching character, the attribute of the stage, and the relationship between the attributes with the ally character. You can earn higher value reach bonuses by choosing your own characters.

[4.10] Gauge Color Display As described above, the server device 10 of the present embodiment has three standard gauges 310A, 310D, 310S that reflect ability parameters (attack power parameter, defense power parameter, skill level parameter). A display control unit 111 (an example of display control means) for displaying (an example of two or more standard gauges) on the screen of the player is provided.

The display control unit 111 causes the screen to display the assignment of points to the abilities (offensive power, defensive power, skill level) as a different color special gauge superimposed on the three standard gauges 310A, 310D, and 310S (Fig. 7(B), FIG. 7(C), FIG. 8, FIG. 9).

In the examples of FIGS. 7B, 7C, 8, and 9, the attack power gauge 310A of the player character 310-1 displays the attack power parameter of the player character 310-1 in the first color. , points as the reaching bonus 500 for the attack power parameter of the player character 310-1 are superimposed and displayed in a second color different from the first color.

7(B), 7(C), 8, and 9, the defense force gauge 310D of the player character 310-1 displays the defense force parameter of the player character 310-1 in the first color. , and the attainment bonus 500 for the defensive power parameter of the player character 310-1 is superimposed and displayed in a second color different from the first color.

7B, 7C, 8 and 9, the skill level gauge 310S of the player character 310-1 displays the skill level parameter of the player character 310-1 in the first color. , and the achievement bonus 500 for the skill level parameter of player character 310-1 is superimposed and displayed in a second color different from the first color.

According to the above configuration, the player can visually recognize at least one of whether or not the ability has been enhanced beyond the limit and the degree of enhancement.

[4.11] Replacing points between characters The server device 10 of the present embodiment assigns a reach bonus to each of a plurality of player characters when a reach bonus is given to each of the plurality of player characters owned by the player. A third granting unit 112 (an example of third granting means) that grants the player an opportunity to change as a third benefit is provided.

For example, based on the player's owned item list 146A, the third provision unit 112 determines whether or not there is an reaching character among the characters owned by the player. Determination of whether or not the character is an reaching character can be made by determining whether or not all of the pre-arrival experience value parameter, level parameter, attack power parameter, defense power parameter, and skill level parameter are limit values. .

Then, when there is a reached character among the owned characters of the player, the third provision unit 112 determines whether or not the number of reached characters included in the owned characters is two or more.

Furthermore, when the number of arrival characters is two or more, the third provision unit 112 specifies the two or more arrival characters. Below, it is assumed that the two characters 310-1 and 310-2 possessed by the player are reaching characters.

As shown in FIG. 10, on the formation screen 300, points are displayed as reaching bonuses 500 near two characters 310-1 and 310-2, which are reaching characters. The display mode of the reach bonus 500 is the same as that in FIG.

A point change button 600 is displayed between the two characters 310-1 and 310-2, which are reaching characters. The point change button 600 is a button for changing the points as the reaching bonuses 500 of the characters 310-1 and 310-2 between the player characters 310-1 and 310-2.

When the player taps the point replacement button 600 with a finger, a point replacement screen 700 is displayed as shown in FIG.

The player can, for example, perform a drag-and-drop operation on the point replacement screen 700 to transfer the attainment bonus 500 (points) associated with the ability parameter (skill level parameter in FIG. 9) of one character 310-2 to the It can be replaced with an ability parameter of -1 (attack power parameter in FIG. 9).

Further, for example, only 10 points out of 33 skill level parameters of one character 310-2 can be changed to attack power parameters of the other character 310-1. good too.

According to the above configuration, the player can increase the degree of freedom in customizing the reached characters by increasing the number of reached characters.

[4.12] Restriction of point replacement range In the server device 10 of the present embodiment, the third granting unit 112 limits the allocation change range to characters that satisfy a given attribute condition among a plurality of player characters. You may

For example, the third imparting unit 112 specifies attributes of characters 310-1 and 310-2, which are reaching characters, based on the player's possessed item list 146A. Note that the property item list 146A in FIG. 4 does not include attribute items, but it is assumed that the property item list 146A stores information for specifying the attributes of each character.

When the characters 310-1 and 310-2, which are reaching characters, have the same attribute, the third imparting unit 112 displays the point replacement button 600 shown in FIG. 2 are different, the third imparting unit 112 does not display the point replacement button 600 shown in FIG.

Therefore, if the characters 310-1 and 310-2, which are reaching characters, have the same attributes, the player can exchange points as reaching bonuses between the characters 310-1 and 310-2 (FIG. 11). However, if the attributes of the characters 310-1 and 310-2, which are reaching characters, are different, points are exchanged (FIG. 11) as a reaching bonus between the characters 310-1 and 310-2. can't

In the above description, the third granting unit 112 limits the range of change in allocation to characters having the same attribute, but the range of change in allocation is limited to characters with the same deck data 146C.
It may be limited only between characters registered in the group, or may be limited only between characters belonging to the same group.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to limit the change range of assignment between player characters registered in the same deck (party) or between player characters belonging to the same team. can increase the value of the act of changing

[4.13] Same event As described above, in the server device 10 of the present embodiment, the progress of the strategy simulation game includes a battle (an example of execution of a given event), and the first progress management unit 106 reflects the number of wins in the pre-arrival experience value parameter, and the second progress management unit 109 reflects the number of times of processing for a match (an example of the same event) in the post-arrival experience value parameter. According to this configuration, the player can acquire an arrival bonus by registering the player character before arrival in the deck data 146C and continuing to win the battle, and by registering the arrival character in the deck data 146C. It is possible to acquire further bonuses by continuing to win battles. In this case, the player character's "victory in battle" creates value both before and after arrival. Therefore, the player can continue playing with a universal sense of values before and after the arrival.

[5] Flow Next, a flow chart of processing of the server device 10 will be described. FIG. 12 is a flow chart of processing of the server device 10 . It is assumed that this flowchart is executed for each character possessed by the player. Also, since the division of functions in the processing unit 100 of the server device 10 has already been explained, the processing unit 100 will be explained here as the main body of processing.

First, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not the character is an reaching character (S101). (S101N), the process proceeds to pre-arrival processing (S102 to S105).

Next, the processing section 100 determines whether or not the character has won the battle (S102). If the character has won (S102Y), the processing proceeds to the post-winning process (S103 to S105), otherwise (S102N). , the processing after winning (S103 to S105) is skipped, and the process proceeds to the reach determination processing (S106).

Next, the processing unit 100 increases the pre-arrival experience value parameter (S103). Note that the amount of increase (up amount) may depend on the content of the battle.

Next, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not the pre-arrival experience value parameter has reached the limit value (S104). If not (S104N), the level-up process (S105) is skipped and the process proceeds to the reach determination process S106.

Next, the processing unit 100 raises the character level of the character, and raises the player's attack power parameter, defense power parameter, and skill level parameter (S105). The amount of increase (up amount) may depend on the character level before the increase.

Next, the processing section 100 determines whether or not the character has become an reaching character (S106), and if it has become an reaching character (S106Y), the reaching bonus imparting process (S107).
), otherwise (S106N), the process proceeds to end determination processing (S116).

Next, the processing unit 100 gives points as reaching bonuses to the attack power parameter, defense power parameter, and skill level parameter of the reaching character (S107).

Next, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not the character has won the battle (S108). If the character has won (S108Y), the process proceeds to the post-victory process (S109), otherwise (S108N). , the process after winning (S109) is skipped and the process proceeds to the next determination process (S110).

Next, the processing unit 100 increases the post-arrival experience value parameter (S109). Note that the amount of increase (up amount) may depend on the content of the battle.

Next, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not the post-arrival experience value parameter has reached the upper limit value (limit value) (S110). ), otherwise (S110N), skip the inter-ability replacement process (S111, S112) and proceed to the inter-character replacement process (S113-S115).

Next, the processing unit 100 displays a point change button (assignment change button) on the player's screen, and determines whether or not the player has selected the point change button (S111). Then, if the player selects the point replacement button (S111Y), the processing unit 100 proceeds to the change processing (S112), otherwise (S111N), skips the change processing (S112) and performs character replacement processing. (S113 to S115).

Next, the processing unit 100 executes a process of changing points among the character's attack power parameter, defense power parameter, and skill level parameter according to the operation input from the player (S112).

Next, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not there is another reached character among the characters possessed by the player (S113), and if there is (S113Y), the process proceeds to the next process (S114). Otherwise (S113N), the process proceeds to end determination processing (S116).

Next, the processing unit 100 displays a point change button on the player's screen, and determines whether or not the player has selected the point change button (S114). Then, if the player selects the point change button (S114Y), the processing section 100 proceeds to the change process (S115); otherwise (S114N), the change process (S115) is skipped and the end determination process ( S116).

Next, the processing unit 100 executes a process of changing points between reaching characters according to an operation input from the player (S115).

Next, the processing section 100 determines whether or not a game end instruction has been input from the player (S116), and if it has been input (S116Y), the flow ends; It shifts to processing (S101).

In addition, in the above flow, it is possible to replace the steps within a possible range. Also, in the above flow, it is possible to omit steps within a possible range.

[6] Effects of the Embodiment As described above, according to the present embodiment, the player continues to use his/her own player character and turns the player character into an reaching character (pre-arrival experience value parameter, character level, and ability parameters reach their respective limit values) (Fig. 7(A)) to obtain an attainment bonus (points) for at least one of the abilities (attack power, defense power, skill level) of the reaching character. (Fig. 7(B)). In addition, the player can obtain further bonuses (FIGS. 8 and 9) by continuing to use reaching characters and satisfying given conditions (FIG. 7(C)). Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to encourage the player to continue using the reaching character, and to lure the player to the strategy simulation game over a longer period of time.

[7] Modification [7.1] Event after arrival In the server device 10 of the present embodiment, the progress of the strategy simulation game includes execution of a first event and a second event that are different from each other. The progress management unit 106 of 1 reflects at least one of the presence or absence of participation of the player character in the first event, the number of times of participation, and the duration of participation in the pre-arrival experience value parameter. At least one of whether or not the player character participates in the event 2, the number of times of participation, and the duration of participation may be reflected in the post-arrival experience value parameter.

Here, the "event" includes mini-games such as battle games, dungeon games, puzzle games, gacha, and item synthesis games that occur within the strategy simulation game. Also, "participating in an event" may include "the player's character winning the battle", "the player's use of the player's character", and "the player's participation in the event itself". good. Also, the "first event" is, for example, a competitive game, and the "second event" is, for example, a game other than the competitive game. Also, the "first event" is, for example, victory in a match, and the "second event" is, for example, participation in a match. Also, the "first event" is, for example, victory in a match, and the "second event" is, for example, participation in a match.

For example, the first progress management unit 106 reflects the number of wins of the player character in the pre-arrival battle in the pre-arrival experience value parameter, and the second progress management unit 109 reflects the number of times the player character participates in the post-arrival battle. Reflected in the experience value parameter after arrival.

According to the above configuration, the player can acquire an arrival bonus by registering the player character before arrival in the deck data 146C and continuing to win the battle. You can get more bonuses with In this case, the victory of the player character in the battle will generate value before arrival, and the participation of the arrival character itself will generate value after arrival. Therefore, the player can have an experience that the sense of value changes with the arrival as a boundary.

[7.2] Further bonuses In addition, in this embodiment, the "further bonus" given to the player character after reaching is to increase the pre-arrival experience value parameter (to reach the limit value). It may be a privilege that cannot be obtained, or it may be a privilege that changes the pre-arrival experience value parameter. Alternatively, the additional bonus may be a benefit that cannot be obtained by increasing the pre-arrival experience value parameter (reaching the limit value) and a benefit that changes the pre-arrival experience value parameter.
