In the game system of the present embodiment, a player selects a playable character among a plurality of characters as game media owned by the player among game media associated with the character (character cards related to the character). can be grown using

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of table information for managing characters playable by the player. The table information 300 shown in FIG. 4 stores character IDs 320 of characters that can be played by the player in the game and character information of the characters in association with the player ID 310 of each player. The character information includes skills 330 possessed by the character (a list of skills that can be exercised during the game), a character image 340 displayed during the game as an image representing the character, basic parameters 350 of the character, and and the level 370 of the character. The basic parameters 350 are composed of a plurality of ability values (here, attack power, defense power, speed, technique, concentration power, stamina). In the example shown in FIG. 4, for example, for a character "A" playable by the player "P1", the skills 330 that can be activated are "magic A" and "magic B", the character image 340 is "Pa1", and the basic parameter 350 is Among them, attack power is "135 (initial value is 90)", defense power is "90 (initial value is 60)", speed is "72 (initial value is 90)", technique is "90 (initial value is 60)". , concentration is "135 (initial value is 90)", stamina is "90 (initial value is 60)", experience value 360 is "616", and level 370 is "4". Note that the initial value of each ability value of the basic parameters 350 is determined according to the level 370, and increases as the level increases.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of table information for managing game contents owned by a player. The table information 400 shown in FIG. 5 associates the player ID 410 of each player with the game medium ID 420 (information specifying the game medium) of the game medium possessed by the player and whether or not the game medium has been selected by the player. Selection information 430 indicating whether or not ("Y" is selected, "N" is not selected) is stored.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of table information for managing a plurality of game contents (obtainable by the player) used in the game. Table information 500 shown in FIG. 6 stores character ID 520, rarity 530, and growth information in association with game medium ID 510 of each game medium. The rarity 530 is set to one of UR (ultra rare), SR (super rare), R (rare), and N (normal). The growth information here includes skills 540, character images 550, change information 560 of basic parameters (a plurality of ability values), and additional values 570 of experience values. Here, the basic parameter change information 560 is a multiplication value (coefficient) of the initial value of each ability value that constitutes the basic parameter. good too. In the example shown in FIG. 6, for example, the game medium "a1" is associated with the character "A", the rarity 530 is "UR", the skill 540 is "Magic A", and the character image 550 is "Pa1 ”, of the basic parameter change information 560, the multiplication value for attack power is “1.5”, the multiplication value for defense power is “1.5”, the multiplication value for speed is “0.8”, and the multiplication value for technique is "1.5", the multiplication value for concentration is "1.5", the multiplication value for stamina is "1.5", and the additional value 570 of the experience value is "24". The additional experience value 570 is set to increase as the rarity 530 increases. The added value of the medium is "12", the added value of the game medium with the rarity 530 of "R" is "4", and the added value of the game medium with the rarity 530 of "N" is "1". Incidentally, the additional value of the experience value may be set regardless of the rarity.

In the game system of the present embodiment, growth information (skill 540, character image 550, basic parameter change information 560, additional experience value 570), by changing the character information of the character (skill 330, character image 340, basic parameter 350, experience value 360), the character run the growth of Specifically, the skill 540 of the game medium selected (used) by the player among the game mediums possessed by the player is set as the skill 330 of the character corresponding to the game medium, and the character image 550 of the game medium is set as the skill 330 of the character corresponding to the game medium. A character image 340 of a character is set, and the basic parameters 350 of the character are changed based on the change information 560 of the game medium. Add to the character's experience value 360. In addition, the "use" of game media includes "reversible use" that allows changes based on the growth information associated with the game media any number of times, and changes based on the growth information associated with the game media. There is "irreversible use" which is possible only once. For example, adding (setting) skills, setting character images, and changing basic parameters are "reversible uses", and changing (adding) experience points are "irreversible uses".

In the example shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the game medium "a1" is selected by the player "P1" among the game mediums corresponding to the character "A" playable by the player "P1". A1" skill "magic A" is set as the skill 330 of the character "A", and a character image "Pa1" of the game medium "a1" is set as the character image 340 of the character "A". Further, the basic parameters 350 (initial values of each ability value) of the character "A" are changed by the change information 560 (multiplied value for each ability value) of the game medium "a1". That is, the initial value “90” of the attack power of the character “A” is multiplied by the multiplication value “1.5” for the attack power of the game medium “a1” to obtain “135”, and the initial value “60” of the defense power becomes “135”. Multiplying the defense power of the game medium "a1" by the multiplication value "1.5" results in "90", and the initial speed value "90" is multiplied by the multiplication value "0.8" of the speed of the game medium "a1". The technique initial value “60” is multiplied by the multiplication value “1.5” for the technique of the game medium “a1” to become “90”, and the concentration initial value “90” becomes “90”. Multiplied by the multiplication value "1.5" for the concentration of "a1"
135”, and the initial stamina value “60” is multiplied by the multiplication value “1.5” for the stamina of the game medium “a1” to obtain “90”. The experience value 360 of "character A" is the sum of the added value 570 of the game media corresponding to "character A" among the game media possessed by the player "P1".

FIG. 7 shows an example of a game screen displayed on the display unit 190 (touch panel) of the terminal 10. As shown in FIG. The game screen GI shown in FIG. 7 is a game screen displayed on the display unit 190 of the terminal 10 of the player "P1", and is displayed when the player "P1" confirms the character information of the playable character "A". It is a game screen to be played.

The game screen GI shown in FIG. 7 includes a character image CA (character image displayed during the game) of the character "A", an ability value AV (basic parameter) of the character "A", and an image of the character "A". The skill SK (main skill, sub-skill), the experience value EP of the character "A", and the icon IC indicating the game media group corresponding to the character "A" among the game media possessed by the player "P1" are displayed. there is

As the character image CA, the character image “Pa1” of the game medium “a1” selected by the player from among the game media corresponding to the character “A” is displayed. Note that the character image CA is displayed to indicate that the level of the character "A" is "4".

As the ability value AV, the initial value of each ability value (initial value corresponding to the level) and the multiplication value by which the initial value is multiplied are displayed. Here, for example, in the display area of "attack power", it is shown that the attack power is a value obtained by multiplying the initial value "90" by the multiplication value "1.5". This multiplication value is a value based on the change information of the game medium "a1" selected by the player from among the game mediums corresponding to the character "A".

As the main skill of the skills SK, the skill "magic A" of the game medium "a1" selected by the player from among the game mediums corresponding to the character "A" is displayed. Also, the player can set an arbitrary skill as a sub-skill among the skills of the game medium corresponding to the character "A", and here, "magic B" is set as the sub-skill. Note that the number of skills that can be set as sub-skills may be changed according to the level of the character.

Also, as the icons IC, four icons indicating game content groups for each rarity level are displayed, and the number NP of possessed game media corresponding to the character "A" is displayed below each icon. Here, the player "P1" receives four game media with a rarity of "UR" corresponding to the character "A", ten game media with a rarity of "SR", and twenty-five game media with a rarity of "R". , indicating that 300 game media with a rarity of "N" are owned. A total value TV of the additional values set (associated) with the game media is displayed below each possessed number NP. Here, the sum of the additional values set for the game media with the rarity “UR” corresponding to the character “A” is “96” (24×4), and the additional value set for the game media with the rarity “SR” is “96” (24×4). The total added value is “120” (12×10), the total added value set for the game medium with the rarity “R” is “100” (4×25), and the game medium with the rarity “N” is This indicates that the sum of the added values set in the game media is "300" (1×300). A value (here, "616") obtained by adding all the added values for each rarity is the experience value, which is displayed as the experience value EP. A value indicating an experience value (an example of a predetermined value) required for the next level up is displayed on the right side of the experience value EP. Here, it is shown that if the experience value reaches "640", it becomes possible to level up to level "5".

In the example shown in FIG. 8, the player "P1" has newly obtained the game medium with the rarity "UR" corresponding to the character "A", and thus the experience value EP has reached "640" and the level is "5". It is in a state where it can be leveled up to. At this time, in the display area of the ability value AV, by leveling up, the initial value of each ability value changes to the number on the right ("99", "66", "99", "66", "99", "66"). The player presses the button BT for instructing execution of leveling up on the game screen GI shown in FIG. can be increased. It should be noted that when the level-up is executed, the predetermined points (in-game currency) possessed by the player are consumed by an amount corresponding to the level at that time (here, 8000 coins).

In this way, the player selects one of the game media corresponding to the playable character among the game media owned by the player, and sets the skill associated with the selected game media as the skill of the character. (change the skill of the character), set the character image associated with the selected game medium as the character image of the character (change the appearance of the character), and change information associated with the selected game medium. You can change each ability value of the character based on, and by obtaining a lot of game media (especially rare game media) corresponding to the character, the experience value of the character can be increased. The character can be leveled up. That is, according to the game system of the present embodiment, the player does not need to strengthen each game medium, and can use the game medium corresponding to the playable character among the plurality of game mediums owned by the player. Since the character can grow, it is possible to realize a game that can maintain the diversity of the game without making the player feel annoyed.

Note that when the player acquires the game media, the addition value set in the game media may be automatically added to the experience value of the character, or after the player acquires the game media, the game When an operation input for selecting a medium is performed, the addition value set for the game medium may be added to the experience value of the character.

Also, "reversible use" may be enabled after "irreversible use" of the game medium. For example, when a game medium is used (“irreversible use”), the additional value set in the game medium is added to the experience value of the character, and skill changes and character images are added based on the growth information of the game medium. , and the basic parameters can be changed. After that, when the player selects the game media (“reversible use”), the skills and character images of the game media are set as the skills and character images of the character. , the basic parameters of the character may be changed based on the change information of the game medium.

Also, when the player acquires the game content, the character corresponding to the acquired game content is not set as a playable character for the player (for example, when the player acquires the game content corresponding to the character for the first time). ), the character corresponding to the game content is newly set as a playable character for the player (the character ID of the character is registered in the table information 300). At this time, the skill and character image associated with the acquired game media are set as the skill and character image of the character corresponding to the game media, and the game is performed based on the change information associated with the acquired game media. You may change the initial value of the basic parameter of the character corresponding to a medium. In addition, on the condition that the player acquires the game content corresponding to a certain character for the first time, the character may be set as a playable character for the player. It may be set as a playable character for the player.

In the above example, the character information (skills, character image, basic parameters) of the character (skills, character images, basic parameters) is based on the growth information (skills, character images, basic parameter change information) of the game media selected by the player among the game media possessed by the player. However, the character information of the character may be changed based on the growth information selected by the player from among the growth information of the game media held by the player. For example, the player can arbitrarily select game media for changing the skill of the character, game media for changing the character image of the character, and game media for changing the basic parameters of the character. can be For example, the skill associated with the game medium (first game medium) selected by the player is set as the skill of the character, and the second game medium (different from the first game medium) selected by the player is set as the skill of the character. game media) is set as the character image of the character, and the third game media (game media different from the first and second game media) selected by the player is associated with the character image. The basic parameters of the character may be changed based on the change information. In this way, the player can grow the character by selecting arbitrary growth information associated with arbitrary game media, and the character growth can be diversified.

Further, in the above example, a case has been described in which the basic parameters of the character are changed based on the change information associated with the game medium. The character's basic parameters may be overwritten (replaced) with the supplied basic parameters. In this case, when setting a character having the same character ID as the character ID associated with the game medium as a character playable by the player, the character setting unit 214 sets the basic parameter associated with the game medium. , skills, and character images are registered in the table information 300 as character information of the character in association with the character ID. After that, when another game content corresponding to the character is used (selected by the player), the growth execution unit 210 sets the basic parameters associated with the game content and the basic parameters included in the character information of the character. parameter, and if the basic parameter associated with the game content is higher, the basic parameter included in the character information may be overwritten with the basic parameter associated with the game content. When comparing the basic parameters (a plurality of ability values), the total of the plurality of ability values associated with the game content is compared with the total of the plurality of ability values included in the character information, and the game If the total of the multiple ability values associated with the medium is higher, all of the multiple ability values included in the character information may be overwritten with the multiple ability values associated with the game medium. Alternatively, comparison may be made for each ability value that constitutes the basic parameters, and overwriting may be performed for each ability value according to the comparison result. That is, among the plurality of ability values, the ability values included in the character information are overwritten with the ability values associated with the game medium for the ability values that are higher in the game medium, and the ability values for the lower ability values in the game medium are overwritten. It is possible not to overwrite. For example, if the attack power associated with the game medium is higher than the attack power included in the character information, and the defense power included in the character information is higher than the defense power associated with the game medium, , the attack power is overwritten with the attack power associated with the game medium, and the defense power is not overwritten.

3. Processing Next, an example of processing of the game system (server 20) of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the processing unit 200 determines whether or not to give the game content to the player (step S10). For example, when input information is received from the terminal 10 for executing a mechanism (so-called "gacha") in which the player acquires game content in exchange for consumption of predetermined points, or when the player's game result satisfies a predetermined condition. If so, it is determined that the game content is given to the player. If not given (N in step S10), the process proceeds to step S15. In the case of granting (Y in step S10), the processing unit 200 determines the game media to be granted to the player by lottery from among the plurality of game media stored in the table information 500, and distributes the determined game media to the player. (step S11). The game medium ID of the game medium assigned to the player is registered in the table information 400 in association with the player ID of the player. determines whether or not the character ID associated with the game content given to the player matches the character ID of the character playable by the player (step S12), and if they match (Y in step S12), The process proceeds to step S14. If they do not match (N in step S12), the character setting unit 214 selects a character having the same character ID as the character ID associated with the game medium given to the player as a playable character for the player. It is registered in the information 300 (step S13). Next, the growth executing unit 210 adds the additional value associated with the game content provided to the player to the experience value of the playable character (step S14).

Next, the growth execution unit 210 determines whether or not input information for selecting game media to be used for character growth has been received from the terminal 10 (step S15). (N of step S15), it transfers to step S18. When the input information has been received (Y in step S15), the growth executing unit 210 transfers the skill and character image associated with the selected game medium to a playable character (corresponding to the selected game medium). (a character having the same character ID as the attached character ID) is set as a skill and a character image (step S16), and basic parameters of the playable character are set based on change information associated with the selected game content. is changed (step S17).

Next, the game progress control unit 212 determines whether or not to start the game (step S18). The character information of each character is used to control the progress of the game (step S19).

Next, the processing unit 200 determines whether or not to continue the processing (step S20), and when continuing the processing (Y in step S20), the process proceeds to step S10.

The present invention is not limited to the one described in the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, a term cited as a broad definition or a synonymous term in the description in the specification or drawings can be replaced with a broad definition or a synonymous term in other descriptions in the specification or drawings.
