Hereinafter, an outline of a game realized by executing a game program by the CPU 101 in the game device 10 according to this embodiment will be described.
Assume that the game according to the present embodiment is a baseball game as an example. The game of this embodiment is composed of a training part, an acquisition part, a strengthening part, and a battle part as a plurality of parts according to the purpose. The training part is a part for training a character to be trained as a target object according to the game of the present embodiment. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a character of a pitcher or a fielder (including a catcher) is trained in the training part. The acquisition part is a part in which characters (event characters to be described later) that can be used when training characters in the training part can be obtained. The enhancement part is a part that enhances the event character by synthesizing the event characters obtained in the acquisition part. The match part is a part in which the baseball team including the pitcher and fielder characters trained in the training part plays against another team.

Next, the breeding part in the game will be explained in detail.
In the training part, a main character is set as a target object to be trained, and the main character is trained as a pitcher or a fielder by practicing baseball in high school and passing through various events. In addition, multiple scenarios are prepared for the training part, and the high school to go to is different depending on the scenario. In the game device 10 of this embodiment, the execution control unit 123 causes the display unit 106 to display a scenario selection screen via the display control unit 122, and the user selects one screen from the scenario selection screen via the operation unit 105. When the scenario is selected, the high school that the main character goes to is determined.

When a scenario is selected, the execution control unit 123 causes the display control unit 122 to display preset basic information about the main character on the screen of the display unit 106 . The basic information displayed on the screen can be changed by the user through operation of the operation unit 105 . The basic information includes the name of the main character, the position of the main character, the dominant arm of the main character, the batting form of the main character, and the pitching form if the main character is a pitcher. The position of the main character can be selected from pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, and outfielder. Hereinafter, positions other than pitcher will be described as fielders. As for the dominant arm of the main character, it is possible to select either right-handed or left-handed, as well as right-handed, left-handed, or double-handed (switch hitter). The batting form of the main character can be selected from multiple types such as standard and open stance. In addition, there are multiple types of pitching forms such as overthrow, three-water, side throw, and underthrow. The user can select a desired pitching form from the plurality of pitching forms. In this embodiment, the basic information of the main character is set in advance, and the user changes the basic information. may be set.

After the basic information of the main character is determined, the execution control unit 123 causes the display unit 106 to display a screen for setting the event deck via the display control unit 122 . Here, the event deck is a deck for setting event characters who will be teammates with whom the main character goes to high school to practice together. Note that an event character is a character that affects the development of the main character (for example, exerts an advantageous effect on the main character) when an event occurs during the development process of the main character, and the user owns it in the game. Select an event character to be set in the event deck from among the event characters in the event deck. Event characters can be obtained as rewards for winning in battle mode, or obtained by lottery. Also, the user can raise the level of the event character in advance before starting the scenario in the breeding part. The higher the level of the event character set in the event deck, the higher the hero character's ability increase value through practice and the initial evaluation of the hero character, so the hero character's abilities that are trained according to the progress of the scenario will be increased. be advantageous to A detailed description of the character's abilities will be given later. In addition, rarity (rarity) is also set for the event character, and the higher the rarity, the greater the benefit when training the main character.

When the user selects (touches, etc.) the change button B1101 via the operation unit 105, the execution control unit 123 makes the deck name changeable.

The selected event character is displayed on the display object A112. Up to 6 event characters can be set in the event deck. The event characters are selected from event characters possessed by the user, but some may be selected from event characters possessed by other users. For example, depending on the type of scenario, there are cases where event characters that are advantageous in enhancing the ability of the main character are not included. Even in such a case, if an event character possessed by another user can be selected, it will be advantageous for the user to improve the abilities of the main character in that scenario, and the user will be able to enjoy the game even in that scenario. can be done.

The display object A111 displays the rarity of each event character. Rarity represents the difficulty of obtaining, and the types of rarity are "normal (N)", "powerful normal (PN)", "rare (R)", "powerful rare (PR)", There are 6 types of "Super Rare (SR)" and "Powerful Super Rare (PSR)". The rarity increases in the order of N, PN, R, PR, SR, and PSR, and the higher the rarity, the greater the benefit when training the main character when an event occurs. Also, events may occur depending on the rarity. Also, the display object A113 displays the level corresponding to each event character.

Each event character may be associated with a favorite practice. When the main character performs the good practice associated with the event character together with the event character when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the event associated with the event character occurs or the main character performs the exercise. You can learn tricks of abilities from event characters. An ability is one of the parameters associated with the main character, and in the case of this embodiment, the ability is broadly classified into a basic ability, a special ability, and a super special ability. Details of these basic abilities, special abilities, and super special abilities (parameters) will be described later. Skill tips are items (parameter items) related to the abilities (parameters) of the main character. equivalent to the rate. One of the five levels of Lv0, Lv1, Lv2, Lv3, Lv4, and Lv5 is set for the trick of ability, and the function (property) differs between Lv0 and Lv1-5. Specifically, when the main character is not associated with a special ability (assumed to be special ability X), and the trick (Lv0) of the special ability X is acquired, the main character consumes experience points. It will be in a state where special ability X can be acquired (a state in which it can be worn). However, at this stage, the main character has not acquired the special ability X yet. Next, when the main character acquires the special ability X trick (Lv1 to Lv5) while acquiring the special ability X trick (Lv0), it consumes to acquire (wear) the special ability X. A discount rate corresponding to the level Lv is applied to the experience points to be played. In this embodiment, the parameter processing unit 124 manages the basic abilities, special abilities, super special abilities (parameters), and skill tips (parameter items). Further, in the present embodiment, the granting processing section 125 performs granting processing related to granting abilities to the main character, that is, processing for the main character to acquire abilities. The details of the experience points will be described later.

The display object A114 displays a list of the event character's favorite practices. There are multiple types of practice, and in the game of the present embodiment, for example, "strike", "strength", "running", "shoulder strength", "ball speed", "control", "stamina", "breaking ball", Various exercises of "defense" and "mental" are prepared. Further, the display object A115 displays the total number for each good practice associated with each event character set in the event deck. In the display object A115 shown in FIG. 3, "x 1" displayed below the "strike" of the good practice is an event in which batting is set as the good practice among the event characters set in the event deck. It indicates that there is only one character. In addition, in the display object A115, “×2” below the good exercise “strength” indicates that two of the event characters set in the event deck have muscle strength set as their good exercise. It is shown that. In the same way, the “× 1” below the favorite practice “base running” indicates that only one event character has base running set as a good practice, and the “× 1” below the favorite practice “shoulder strength” 1” indicates that there is only one event character who is set to practice shoulder strength as his specialty. It should be noted that one event character may have two or more types of good practice. That's how big it gets.

Next, the details of the content of the scenario will be described.
As mentioned above, a plurality of scenarios are prepared for the training part, and first, the contents common to those scenarios will be explained. Each scenario consists of 4 sections, 1st to 4th. The 1st to 3rd sections consist of 12 turns each, and only the 4th section consists of 15 turns. The user can select the content of practice for each turn and allow the main character to rest. Also, for example, in the case of a scenario in which the goal is to enter a high school, join a baseball club, and participate in a Koshien match, the high school baseball preliminaries and the high school baseball match at Koshien are included from the middle of the fourth section. However, if the team loses the game on the way and is eliminated, the fourth section will be forced to end.

In each turn of each section, a plurality of teammates appear in addition to the main character, which greatly affects the development effect of the main character. The teammates include event characters set in the event deck, predetermined event characters specific to the scenario, and other default characters (non-event characters). It is also possible to set the same character as the event character predetermined unique to the scenario in the event deck.

Also, there are times when a morning event and an afternoon event occur across one turn. There is an event character event by a predetermined event character. In a scenario event specific to a scenario, event characters that are predetermined and specific to the scenario mainly appear. Whether the event occurs in the morning or in the afternoon is determined in advance by the content of the scenario event and the event character, and the occurrence condition of each event occurs when the event occurrence lottery is won. Alternatively, the event may always occur regardless of the lottery. When these events occur, the main character is given training effects corresponding to the events that have occurred.

Next, the contents of each option will be explained.
When the option P407 of "rest" is selected, no practice is performed in that turn, and physical strength is recovered through rest. The amount of health recovered is determined by lottery. When the option P408 of "practice" is selected, the screen transitions to a practice screen G500 of FIG. 7, which will be described later, thereby allowing the user to select one of several types of practice content. The details of the practice content will be described later. The option P409 is a scenario-specific option, and the content differs depending on the selected scenario.

When the option P410 of "increase ability" is selected, it is possible to increase the ability of the main character by consuming experience points acquired and accumulated through practice and events. In other words, the user selects this option P410 when he wants to improve the basic abilities of the main character or acquire special abilities. A specific method for raising the main character's basic abilities and acquiring special abilities will be described later. When the option P411 of "going to the hospital" is selected, the disease of the main character will be cured with a predetermined probability. When the option P412 of "play" is selected, the hero character's physical strength is recovered, and the motivation parameter of the hero character is increased by one level with a high probability. When the "date" option P413 is selected, the main character's physical strength is recovered.

Next, a case where the option P408 of "practice" is selected will be described.
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a practice screen G500 displayed on the display unit 106 by the execution control unit 123 via the display control unit 122. As shown in FIG. Note that the example shown in FIG. 7 shows the screen in a state in which the exercise for building "strength" is provisionally selected by the arrow P510.

The display object A501 displays unconsumed experience points acquired and accumulated by the main character. Here, the experience points are the points required to raise the basic abilities of the main character or acquire special abilities. It manages increase/decrease processing by acquisition or consumption of (points). Since unconsumed experience points are displayed in the display object A501, experience points consumed by, for example, raising the main character's basic abilities or acquiring special abilities are not included. The point processing unit 121 divides (divides) the experience points into five types of "strength", "agility", "skill", "breaking ball", and "spirit", and manages them. The types and values of experience points awarded are different. As shown in FIG. 7, the display object A502 displays the amount of increase in experience points when the selected exercise is performed, and the user can select the content of the exercise by referring to the amount of increase in experience points. can be done. For example, if the exercise of "strength" is selected, the amount of increase in "strength" (+24 in the example of FIG. 7) and the amount of increase in "spirit" (+24 in the example of FIG. 7) as displayed in the display object A502 in FIG. In the example, you can earn experience points indicated by +18).

The display object A505 displays teammates who participate in the practice together. Teammates who participate together are randomly selected from the scenario-specific and predetermined event characters described above, event characters set in the event deck, other default characters, scouts, and managers, and also participate together. The number of teammates who participate is also randomly selected, and the more teammates you participate with, the more experience points you get. The display object A506 displays the teammate's name and the evaluation value for the main character in a gauge. The evaluation value for the main character can be raised by the occurrence of an event involving the teammate or by practicing together with the teammate. In addition, the higher the evaluation value for the main character, the more special ability tricks are acquired and the greater the increase in experience points. In addition, if you acquire a special ability trick, the experience points required to acquire that special ability will decrease.

The display object A507 displays the favorite practice associated with the teammate. Also for example, a practice may be associated with teammates who have the same favorite practice and teammates who have different favorite practices. When the finally selected practice matches the good practice, benefits advantageous to the development of the hero, such as obtaining more experience points, are given. In addition, good practices are displayed for event characters set in the event deck. In the case of this example, the scenario-specific and predetermined event characters (excluding those set in the event deck) and other default characters do not display their good practice, but are set to display. good too. In addition, it is possible to practice with a maximum of five teammates, and a teammate corresponding to each practice (content) or a combination of a plurality of teammates is drawn every turn.

Furthermore, if there is an event character among the teammates who practice together, the selected practice matches the good practice and the evaluation value for the main character is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, a special practice called special tag practice is performed. is done. Special tag practice will give you more experience points than usual.

A display object A508 displays the injury rate when the exercise is selected. The injury rate represents the probability of getting injured, and the higher the value, the higher the probability that the main character will get injured when practicing, and the lower the current physical strength, the higher the probability. The user can refer to the injury rate and select, for example, the return button B504 to return to the main screen G400 of FIG. If you are injured, you will not receive any experience points for practicing.

Different exercise contents can be selected from the options P511 to P516. The selected exercise is performed. Also, the respective practice levels are displayed in the respective options P511 to P516. This allows the user to see that by selecting the same practice multiple times, the level increases, and that the higher the level of practice, the more experience points are earned. In this way, according to the practice screen G500, before the user finally selects one of the options P511 to P516, that is, when one of the options is provisionally selected, the user selects that option as the final option. You can check how much experience points will increase if you choose to do so, and what your teammates will look like when you practice together.

For example, when the option P511 of "strike" is selected, the experience points necessary for increasing the "meat", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, when the option P511 of "strike" is provisionally selected, the display object A502 displays the amount of increase in experience points for "strength", "skill", and "spirit". When the option P511 of "strike" is finally selected and practice is carried out, experience points corresponding to the increases in "strength", "skill" and "spirit" are obtained.

When the "strength" option P512 is selected, the experience points required to increase the "strength", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, when the option P512 of "strength" is provisionally selected, the amount of increase in experience points of "strength" and "spirit" is displayed on the display object A502. When the option P512 of "muscle strength" is finally selected and practice is performed, experience points corresponding to the increased amounts of "muscle strength" and "spirit" are obtained.

When the option P513 of "base running" is selected, the experience points necessary for increasing the "running power", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, when the option P513 of "base running" is provisionally selected, the display object A502 displays the amount of increase in experience points of "strength" and "agility". Then, when the option P513 of "base running" is finally selected and practice is carried out, experience points corresponding to the increased amounts are obtained.

When the "shoulder strength" option P514 is selected, the experience points required to increase the "shoulder strength", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, when the “shoulder strength” option P514 is provisionally selected, the display object A502 displays the amount of increase in experience points for “strength,” “agility,” and “technique.” Then, when the option P514 of "shoulder strength" is finally selected and practice is performed, experience points corresponding to those increased amounts are obtained.

When the "defense" option P515 is selected, the experience points required to increase the "defense power", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, when the "defense" option P515 is provisionally selected, the display object A502 displays the amount of increase in experience points for "agility", "skill", and "spirit". Then, when the option P515 of "defense" is finally selected and practice is carried out, experience points corresponding to the increased amounts are obtained.

When the "mental" option P516 is selected, the main character's physical strength is recovered. Specifically, when the "mental" option P516 is provisionally selected, the amount of increase in experience points for "skill" and "spirit" is displayed. Then, when the option P516 of "mental" is finally selected and practice is performed, experience points corresponding to those increments are obtained.

The example shown in FIG. 7 is an example in which the main character is trained as a fielder. Control", "stamina", "breaking ball", "defense", and "mental" are combined. The types of experience points are the same as when the main character is trained as a fielder. Similarly, when the main character is trained as a pitcher, the types and values of experience points obtained differ depending on the content of practice. For example, if you choose the "control" exercise, you will receive experience points for "technique" and experience points for "spirit".

For example, when the "ball speed" option is selected, the experience points required to increase the "ball speed", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, when the option "ball speed" is provisionally selected, the display object A502 displays the amount of increase in experience points for "strength", "skill", and "spirit". Then, when the "ball speed" option is finally selected and practice is performed, experience points corresponding to the increased amounts are obtained.

When the "control" option is selected, the experience points required to increase the "control", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, when the "control" option is provisionally selected, the display object A502 displays the amount of increase in experience points for "skill" and "spirit". Then, when the "control" option is finally selected and practice is performed, experience points corresponding to those increments are obtained.

When the "stamina" option is selected, the experience points required to increase the "stamina", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, when the "stamina" option is provisionally selected, the display object A502 displays the amount of increase in experience points for "strength" and "spirit". Then, when the option of "stamina" is finally selected and practice is performed, experience points corresponding to those increments are obtained.

When the option of "changing ball" is selected, the experience points required to increase the type and amount of change of "changing ball", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, when the option of "curving ball" is provisionally selected, the display object A502 displays the increased experience points of "skill", "curving ball", and "spirit". Then, when the "breaking ball" option is finally selected and practice is performed, experience points corresponding to the increments are obtained.

When the provisional selection and final selection of "Defense" options are made, the experience points required to increase the type and amount of change in "Defense", as in the case of "Defense" selection in fielder training mentioned above can get. Also, when the provisional selection and final selection of "mental" options are made, the experience required to increase the type and amount of change in "mental" as in the case of selecting "mental" in fielder training mentioned above You get points.

Next, a procedure for reflecting the experience points obtained through practice and the like in the basic abilities and special abilities of the main character will be described. When the option P410 of "ability up" is selected on the main screen G400 shown in FIG. 6, the execution control unit 123 changes the screen of the display unit 106 to the screen shown in FIG. transition.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a setting screen G600 displayed on the display unit 106 via the display control unit 122 by the execution control unit 123 when the user increases the basic abilities of the main character.
The display object A601 displays the evaluation rank and ability value of each basic ability before the ability is improved, and the display object A602 displays the evaluation rank and ability value of each basic ability after the ability is improved. be. The selection button B611 is a button selected by the user when transitioning to a screen for setting basic abilities, and the example in FIG. 8 indicates that the screen for setting basic abilities is selected. Note that when the selection button B612 is selected, the execution control unit 123 causes the screen displayed on the display unit 106 to transition to a special ability setting screen, which will be described later, via the display control unit 122 .

The currently accumulated experience points are displayed in the display object A603. The display object A604 displays the experience points required to raise the ability value of each basic ability by one. The display object A604 is provided with arrow buttons B613 corresponding to respective basic abilities. When the user selects one of the arrow buttons B613, the currently accumulated experience points are The ability value of the basic ability corresponding to button B613 is increased. In the case of the example of FIG. 8, the arrow button B613 is not displayed for "running ability" because the player does not have the experience points required to increase the ability value of "running ability" by one.

Note that the example shown in FIG. 8 shows the case where the main character is trained as a fielder, but in the case of training as a pitcher, the basic abilities are replaced with "ball speed", "control", and "stamina". Also, a selection button for setting the type and amount of change of the curve ball is added, and the user can select the type of curve ball by selecting the selection button. Also in this case, the experience points required to increase the amount of change of the breaking ball by 1 are also displayed, and the amount of change of the breaking ball can be increased by consuming the currently accumulated experience points.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a setting screen G700 displayed on the display unit 106 via the display control unit 122 by the execution control unit 123 when the main character acquires special abilities.
A list of special abilities is displayed on the display object A701, together with the experience points required to acquire each special ability. A scroll bar A702 displayed on the display object A701 is displayed when all the special abilities cannot be displayed on the display object A701. to view all special abilities. Also, the arrow button B713 has the same function as the arrow button B613 shown in FIG. be. Although FIG. 9 shows an example of a screen for acquiring special abilities, a similar screen is used when acquiring a super special ability, which will be described later.

Next, the characteristic content of the game of this embodiment will be described.
In this embodiment, as described above, the main character is set as an object to be raised in the game, and the point processing unit 121 increases or decreases the experience points (points) associated with the main character according to the progress of the game. process.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main character acquires special ability knacks as parameter items, and can acquire special abilities by consuming experience points. , It is possible to acquire super special abilities by consuming experience points. As already mentioned, the knack corresponds to the discount rate for the experience points (points) consumed when the main character acquires abilities (special abilities and super special abilities). Also, in this embodiment, the super special ability is distinguished as an ability of a higher order than the special ability, but it is not necessary to be distinguished.

There are a plurality of types of super special abilities, and when the main character is a pitcher, examples include "amazing sharpness" and "precision machinery". For example, the super special ability of ``amazing sharpness'' is the ability to sharpen a curve ball. Ability. If the main character is a fielder, examples include "hit machine" and "high-speed laser". The ``hit-making machine'' is an ability that makes you good at hitting hit balls, and the ``high-speed laser'' is an ability that allows you to throw a sharp ball. In addition, "Super Lucky Boy" is also set as an example of a super special ability that the main character can acquire. It's an ability (that tends to invite good luck). Note that these are just examples, and there are many more super special abilities.

Further, in the present embodiment, the imparting processing unit 125 adds experience points (points) corresponding to super special ability tips specified by the user from among a plurality of super special ability tips to experience points associated with the main character. By consuming (points), a super special ability corresponding to the trick of the super special ability is given to the main character.

Further, in the present embodiment, the association processing unit 126 consumes a predetermined number of experience points (points) associated with the main character to acquire a plurality of special abilities not associated with the main character. The tips selected from the tips are newly associated with the main character. At this time, the association processing unit 126 does not include the knacks of super special abilities already associated with the main character in the selection targets. In the following description, in the game of the present embodiment, a trick is selected from a plurality of special ability tricks not associated with the main character by consuming a predetermined number of experience points out of the main character's experience points. A command for executing an association process for newly associating is called an "eye-opening command". In the game of the present embodiment, it is assumed that, in the eye-opening command, the trick to select from a plurality of special ability tricks not associated with the main character is determined by lottery.

In addition, in this embodiment, the experience points associated with the main character are classified into a plurality of types such as "strength", "agility", "technique", "breaking ball", and "spirit" as described above. attached. When executing the eye-opening command, a predetermined number of experience points are consumed from two or more types of experience points associated with the main character. Also, an upper limit is set for the number of experience points when two or more types of experience points are consumed in the eye-opening command. In the case of this embodiment, the upper limit is set to a value less than half of the predetermined number of experience points. In other words, for each type of experience points, the upper limit value is set to a value less than the required total consumption amount, so as a result, two or more types of experience points must be consumed.

In the present embodiment, the association processing unit 126 adds a predetermined number of experiential points consumed from the experience points associated with the main character to the number of times the eye-open command is executed (association processing). may be changed each time the number of times of execution) increases.

Further, in this embodiment, the execution control unit 123 executes the association processing of the association processing unit 126 on condition that the cumulative value of experience points obtained by the main character reaches a predetermined threshold as the game progresses. Execution control processing is performed to enable (that is, to enable execution of the eye-opening command). Further, the execution control unit 123 displays an eye-opening command on the game screen of the display unit 106 via the display control unit 122 when the cumulative value of experience points acquired in association with the main character reaches a predetermined threshold value. Display an icon indicating that execution is possible. The icon at this time is a button icon (hereinafter referred to as an eye opening button) that can be selected by the user. As a result, the user can know that the association process can be executed (that is, the eye-opening command can be executed). You will be able to

Further, in this embodiment, the execution control unit 123 limits the number of times the association processing unit 126 can execute the eye opening command (association processing) to a predetermined number of times from the start to the end of the game.

FIGS. 10 and 11 show that when the accumulated experience points obtained by the main character reaches a predetermined threshold and it becomes possible to shift to the eye-opening command, the execution control unit 123 executes the command through the display control unit 122. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen including an eye opening button displayed on the display unit 106. FIG. FIG. 10 shows an example in which the eye-open button B802 is displayed on the main screen G800 because it is possible to shift to the eye-open command during the training of the main character. On the other hand, FIG. 11 shows an example in which the eye open button B902 is displayed when the transition to the eye open command is enabled and the main character training is completed and the final setting screen G900 is displayed.

As illustrated in FIG. 10, when it becomes possible to shift to the eye-opening command during the training of the main character, an eye-opening button B802 is displayed on the main screen G800. The main screen G800 is substantially the same screen as the main screen G400 of FIG. 6 described above, and the open eye button B802 is displayed near the display object A801 of the main character. By displaying the eye-opening button B802 as in the main screen G800 of FIG. 10, the user can know that the eye-opening command can be executed. Then, when the user selects (for example, touches) the eye opening button B802 via the operation unit 105, the association processing unit 126 causes the display unit 106 via the display control unit 122 to display an eye opening command setting screen as shown in FIG. Display G1000.

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 11, when the transition to the eye opening command becomes possible, the execution control unit 123 causes the display control unit 122 to display the eye opening button B902 on the final setting screen G900 of the display unit 106. display. The final setting screen G900 displays the main character's appearance, name, pitching form, batting form, ability-up button, training completion button B901, etc., and an eye opening button B902 is displayed near the training completion button B901, for example. By displaying the eye-open button B902 as in the final setting screen G900 of FIG. 11, the user can know that the eye-open command can be executed. Then, when the user selects (for example, touches) the eye opening button B802 via the operation unit 105, the association processing unit 126 causes the display unit 106 via the display control unit 122 to display an eye opening command setting screen as shown in FIG. Display G1000.

In the eye-open command setting screen G1000 of FIG. 12, a display area A1001 displays a content that informs the user that this is the eye-open command setting screen.
In the display area A1010, in the eye-opening command, the number of experience points consumed when performing a lottery for randomly acquiring super special ability tips from among multiple types of super special ability tips, and level 1 in the random lottery. A message indicating that the (Lv1) Super Special Ability Tips can be acquired is displayed. In the present embodiment, the number of lotteries for acquiring the super special ability knack is determined in one execution of the eye-opening command, and is set, for example, up to three times. Note that the number of lotteries is an example, and may be set to a number of times greater than three, or conversely may be set to a number of times less than three.

The display object A1011 displays the number of times the eye-opening command can be executed from the start to the end of the game and the number of times the eye-opening command has been executed at the present time. In the case of this embodiment, the execution control unit 123 sets two times as the number of times the eye opening command can be executed from the start to the end of the game. Also, "2/2" is displayed in the display object A1011 shown in FIG. 12, which indicates that the eye opening command is executed for the second time.

The display object A1003 displays the experience points required to execute the eye-opening command (remaining necessary experience points) and the experience points already set (hereinafter referred to as input) by the user to execute the eye-opening command. (hereinafter referred to as input experience points) is displayed. In the case of this embodiment, the experience points are managed by the point processing unit 121, and the predetermined number of experience points required to execute the eye-opening command is, for example, 500 points. In the example of the display object A1003 in FIG. 12, since the number of experience points that have been thrown is 0, the remaining required experience points are displayed as 500 points. In the present embodiment, when the predetermined number of experience points required for executing the eye-opening command is set to be changed each time the eye-opening command is executed, the remaining necessary experience points for the display object A103 are It is a number different from 500 points. For example, if the predetermined number of experience points required for executing the eye-opening command is set to increase with each increase in the number of times the eye-opening command is executed, the hurdles for re-executing the eye-opening command will increase. In addition, if the number of eyes-open commands is set to decrease as the number of executions of the eye-open commands increases, the hurdles for re-executing the eye-open commands are lowered.

The display object A1004 displays the type of experience points and the number of experience points associated with the main character.
The display object A1005 is prepared for setting which type of experience points to invest and how much of the experience points for each type associated with the main character. The types of experience points are managed by the point processing unit 121, and as described with reference to FIG. There is For this reason, the display object A1005 includes a display object A1021 indicating each type, plus (+) button B1023 and minus (-) button B1023 for the user to set the number of experience points to be input from each type of experience points. A button B1025 and a display object A1024 for representing the maximum value of experience points that can be put in for each type and the number of experience points to put in are provided.

In the case of the display object A1024 shown in FIG. 12, the maximum value that can be input for each type of experience point is 200 points, and the experience point to be input is 0, that is, the experience point to be input is not yet specified. , "0/200" is displayed for each.

Here, when the user selects the plus button B1023 via the operation unit 105 by, for example, touching, the association processing unit 126 assigns a certain number of experience points for each touch as completed experience points to the display object A1003. Adds to invested experience points. However, in any type, if the remaining number of experience points that can be input is less than a certain number corresponding to one touch of the plus button B1023, it is not possible to input experience points in that type, in this case, The association processing unit 126 grays out the plus button B1023 via the display control unit 122 . As a result, the user can know that the plus button B1023 is no longer valid and that it is no longer possible to input that type of experience points. Further, when the maximum value (for example, 200 points) that can be invested in experience points for any type is reached, the association processing unit 126 grays out the plus button B1023 corresponding to that type via the display control unit 122. Makes it impossible to add experience points. On the other hand, for example, by touching the minus button B1025 or the like, if the amount of experience points put in for that type falls below the maximum value (200 points), the association processing unit 126 grays out the plus button B1023 via the display control unit 122. Release the display to enable touch. This allows the user to know that that type of experience point input is available.

The minus button B1025 is grayed out and disabled when no experience points have been entered. On the other hand, if experience points have already been entered, the association processing unit 126 activates the minus button B1025 via the display control unit 122 (active state). Each time the minus button B1025 is tapped, the association processing unit 126 subtracts a certain number of experience points from the input experience points of the display object A1003. In the plus button B1023 and the minus button B1025, the constant number that increases or decreases corresponding to one touch may be, for example, 1, 10, 20, or the like. Assume that it is set to 10.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the state in which the plus button B1023 is touched continues, the association processing unit 126 gradually increases the number of input experience points for each unit time (for example, 2 seconds) according to the duration. to increase to Similarly, in the case of the minus button B1025, the association processing unit 126, if the touched state continues, depending on the duration time, experience points that decrease from the input experience points every unit time (for example, 2 seconds) gradually increase to

In this way, the user inputs at least three types of experience points, and when the number of input experience points reaches a predetermined number of 500 points, the association processing unit 126 causes the display object to be displayed via the display control unit 122. The input experience points displayed in A1003 are set to 500 points, and the remaining required experience points are set to 0 points. As a result, the association processing unit 126 enters a state in which the eye-opening command can actually be executed.
Note that the maximum value of experience points that can be input for each type of experience points is not limited to 200 points, and may be any other number, such as 300 points. In this embodiment, three types of experience points are introduced, but the number of types is not limited to three, and may be set to two types or less or four types or more.

The return button B1011 is a button selected by the user when returning from the eye-opening command setting screen G1000 of FIG. 12 to the screen displayed one before. The eye-opening execution button B1012 displaying "open eyes" is a button that becomes effective when the input experience points reach 500 points on the eye-opening command setting screen G1000 in FIG. 12 and the eye-opening command can be executed. . When the eye opening execution button B1012 is selected by the user, the association processing unit 126 executes the eye opening command. The clear all button B1013 is a button selected by the user when clearing (canceling) all the contents set by the user on the eye opening command setting screen G1000 of FIG.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a screen G1100 displayed on display section 106 by association processing section 126 via display control section 122 during execution of the eye opening command. In the case of the example of FIG. 13, the display object A1101 is provided with a practice for acquiring super special ability tricks with an eye opening command, i. A description of what the character is doing is displayed. Note that the display of screen G1100 in FIG. 13 may be skipped according to an instruction from the user.

FIG. 14 shows an example of a result display screen G1200 in which the association processing unit 126 causes the display unit 106 to display tips for super special abilities that can be obtained by a lottery when executing the eye opening command on the display unit 106 via the display control unit 122. It is a figure showing.
Displayed in the display object A1201 is content (for example, "result of eye opening") that informs the user that the screen displays the result of the lottery by the eye opening command.
The display object A1204 displays each type of current experience points associated with the main character.
The display object A1202 confirms with the user what the super special ability knack drawn by executing the eye opening command is and whether or not the knack for the super special ability obtained by the drawing is actually obtained. will be displayed. In the case of the example of FIG. 14, the display object A1202 confirms that "Super Lucky Boy's Tips" has been drawn by lottery as super special ability tips, and confirms to the user whether or not to acquire the "Super Lucky Boy's Tips". is displayed.

The confirm button B1203 is a button selected by the user when confirming the acquisition of the knack for the super special ability of the lottery result.
The re-lottery button B1204 is a button selected by the user when performing a lottery again. The re-lottery button B1204 also displays the remaining number of possible lotteries, so that the user can confirm whether or not the re-lottery is possible. In the case of this embodiment, the number of lotteries for tips on special abilities is limited to three times as described above. The number of possible re-lotteries by the button B1204 is two. When a re-lottery is performed by selecting the re-lottery button B1204, the lottery result before the re-lottery is invalidated, and the right to acquire the trick of super special ability which is the lottery result before the re-lottery is lost. When a re-lottery is performed by selecting the re-lottery button B1204, basically the same special ability knack as the lottery result before the re-lottery is not drawn again. However, at the time of re-lottery by selecting the re-lottery button B1204, if the number of obtainable special abilities is less than the number of re-lotteries, the same special ability knack as the lottery result before the re-lottery will be drawn again. In this case, the right to acquire special ability tricks that was once invalidated by the re-lottery will be restored. Further, when the number of times of re-lottery runs out as a result of the re-lottery, the re-lottery button B1204 is grayed out and disabled. Thereby, the user can confirm that the re-lottery cannot be performed.

FIG. 15 shows an example of an acquisition confirmation confirmation screen G1300 that the association processing unit 126 causes the display unit 106 to display via the display control unit 122 when the confirmation button B1203 is selected on the result display screen G1200 of FIG.
