[1. Description of the game]
An outline of a game suitable for applying the present invention will be described below. An overview of the game will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8, using screens displayed on a liquid crystal display panel equipped with a touch panel on a game device, which will be described later.

The game of this embodiment mainly relates to a baseball game, and has a training part for training characters and a battle part for fighting against each other using the characters trained in the training part. In this embodiment, pitchers or fielders (including catchers) are trained in the training part, and a baseball team including the pitchers and fielders trained in the training part plays against other teams in the competition part.

The training part will be described in detail below. In the training part, the main character to be trained belongs to a high school baseball club, and the main character is trained as a pitcher or a fielder through practices and events. In addition, a plurality of scenarios are prepared in the training part of the present embodiment, and the high school to be advanced to differs depending on the scenario. A scenario is a game story that develops as the game progresses. In the game of this embodiment, the user selects one of the scenarios to determine the high school that the main character will attend.

When a scenario is selected, the user first determines basic information about the main character. 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 is 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 main character's dominant arm, he or she selects right-handed or left-handed, as well as right-handed, left-handed, or double-handed (switch hitter). The user selects the main character's batting form from a plurality of types such as standard and open stance. Also, in the pitching form, the user selects from a plurality of types such as overthrow, three-water, side throw, and underthrow. Further, when determining the basic information of the main character, preset basic information may be displayed first on the screen, and the user may change the basic information.

After the basic information of the main character is determined, the event deck is set. The event deck is a deck for setting event characters who will be teammates with whom the main character goes to high school for training. The event character is a character that affects the training of the main character (has an advantageous effect for the user) when an event occurs in the process of training the main character. Select the event character to set for the 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, the higher the increase in the ability of the main character through practice, the higher the initial evaluation of the main character, and the like, so that the scenario can be advanced advantageously.

FIG. 1 shows an example of an event deck display screen G100. When setting the event deck, the display screen G100 shown in FIG. 1 is displayed. A deck name is displayed in the display area A110. The user can pre-register the combination of event characters in the event deck before starting the scenario in the breeding part. The change button B1101 is a button for changing the deck name.

The selected event character is displayed in the display area A112. Up to 6 event characters can be set in the event deck. The event characters are selected from the event characters possessed by the user, but some of the event characters possessed by other users can be selected. For example, depending on the type of scenario, there is a case where the player does not possess the event characters necessary to advance the scenario in an advantageous manner. Even in such a case, if an event character owned by another user can be selected, the user can proceed advantageously in the scenario, and the user can enjoy the game even in the scenario.

The display area 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. Also, the level of the event character is displayed in the display area A113.

In addition, each event character may be associated with a good practice, and when the main character practices with the event character in the event character's good practice while a predetermined condition is satisfied, a large number of experience points can be obtained. can be obtained.

In the display area A114, a list of the event character's favorite exercises is displayed. ”, “Curving Ball”, “Defense”, and “Mental”. When the event character is set in the event deck, the display area A115 displays the multiples of the event character that are good practice. In the example shown in FIG. 1, there is one event character whose specialty is batting, two event characters who are good at strength training, one event character who is good at base running, and one character who is good at shoulder strength. It shows that one event character is set to practice and one event character is set to practice mental skill. Note that the event character may have two or more types of good practices, and if an event character having two or more types of good practices is set in the event deck, the total number displayed in the display area A115 will be increased accordingly. Become.

After completing setting of the event character in the event deck as described above, next, game items are selected. Game items can be acquired as rewards for winning in the battle mode or through a lottery, and the user can use up to two game items in the training part. Types of game items include items for increasing event occurrence rates, items for recovering physical strength, items for reducing injury occurrence rates, and the like. In this embodiment, the game items include an automatic allocation permission item for enabling execution of an automatic allocation process of experience points, which will be described later.

When the selection of game items is finished as described above, the scenario is started. Here, before explaining the contents of the scenario, the ability of the main character to be trained will be explained. FIG. 2 shows an example of an ability list screen G200 when the main character is trained as a fielder. A main character is displayed in the display area A210. The appearance of the main character is determined when determining the basic information of the main character, but can be changed after the main character is trained.

The display area A211 displays the name of the main character. The name of the main character is determined when determining the basic information of the main character, but can be changed after the main character is trained. The display area A212 displays the position number of the main character. 2 for catcher, 3 for first base, 4 for second base, 5 for third base, 6 for shortstop, 7 for left, 8 for center, 9 for right is displayed.

The display area A213 displays the batting form and dominant arm of the main character, which are determined when determining the basic information of the main character. The display area A214 displays the position of the main character, which is determined when determining the basic information of the main character. It should be noted that it is also possible to train the main character so that it can defend in a plurality of positions, in which case the plurality of positions can be displayed.

The display areas A215 to A221 display basic abilities as a fielder. In addition, the basic abilities displayed in the display areas A216 to A221 are displayed in eight stages of evaluation ranks: S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. If the ability value is 90 or more, S, A for 80-89, B for 70-79, C for 60-69, D for 50-59, E for 40-49, F for 20-39, 19 or less In the case of , it becomes G.

In the display area A215, information on the basic ability "ballistics" is displayed, and the evaluation rank is represented by a numerical value of 1-4. The higher the number, the higher the trajectory of the batted ball, and the easier it is to hit a home run. In the display area A216, information on the basic ability "Meat" is displayed. In the display area A217, information on the basic ability "power" is displayed. In the display area A218, information on the basic ability "running ability" is displayed. In the display area A219, information on the basic ability "shoulder strength" is displayed, and the higher the "shoulder strength" ability, the faster the ball can be thrown in defense. In the display area A220, information on the basic ability "defensive ability" is displayed, and the higher the "defensive ability", the wider the defensive range. In the display area A221, information on the basic ability "ball catching" is displayed, and the higher the "ball catching" ability, the easier it is to catch the ball skillfully in defense and the less likely an error will occur.

In the display area A222, a notation A2221 indicating fielder ability and a list of special ability names A2222 possessed by the main character are displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the main character has five types of special abilities: "infield hit", "pinch hitter", "in-course", "throw", and "stable condition". In other words, the main character is likely to hit infield, increase his stats when he appears as a pinch hitter, is good at batting "in-course", is accurate in throwing direction when defending, and is stable. It is shown that.

FIG. 3 shows an example of an ability list screen G200 when the main character is trained as a pitcher. Note that the description of the content that overlaps with the case of the fielder shown in FIG. 2 will be omitted. In the case of a pitcher, the display area A212 displays "1", which is the position number of the main character.

The display area A310 displays the pitching form and dominant arm of the main character, which are determined when determining the basic information of the main character. "Pitcher" is displayed in the display area A311.

The display areas A312 to A314 display basic abilities as a pitcher. In the display area A312, information on the basic ability "ball speed" is displayed, and the maximum ball speed when throwing a straight ball is displayed. In addition, the basic abilities displayed in the display areas A313 and A314 are displayed in eight stages of evaluation ranks of S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G in the same way as fielders. S for above, A for 80-89, B for 70-79, C for 60-69, D for 50-59, E for 40-49, E for 20-39 If it is 19 or less, it will be G.

In the display area A313, information on the basic ability "control" is displayed. In the display area A314, information on the basic ability "stamina" is displayed.

The display area A315 displays the type and amount of change of the breaking ball mastered by the main character. The example shown in FIG. 3 indicates that the main character can throw a "slider" and a "fork" in addition to a straight ball, and that the amount of change when throwing a breaking ball is moderate.

The display area A316 displays a list of notations A3161 indicating pitcher abilities and names A3162 of special abilities possessed by the main character. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the main character has four types of special abilities: "heavy ball", "strikeout", "guts", and "hitting strength". In other words, the main character throws a heavy ball, easily strikes out from the batter, can throw the ball with guts even when tired, and is less upset when hit.

Next, the details of the content of the scenario will be described. As described above, in the training part, a plurality of scenarios are prepared, and here, the contents common to these scenarios will be explained. Each scenario consists of 4 sections, the 1st to 3rd sections each consist of 12 turns, 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. Since the fourth section includes the high school baseball preliminaries and the Koshien high school baseball game, if the player loses the game and is eliminated, the fourth section is forced to end. In addition, a match may occur in a section other than the fourth section (third section), or a match may occur in which the section (training part) does not end even if the player is defeated.

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, a morning event and an afternoon event may 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. When these events occur, the main character is given training effects corresponding to the events that have occurred.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the main screen G400 for each turn. A display area A401 displays the current section and the current turn (number of remaining turns in the current section). The display area A402 displays the grade, month and week of the main character in the current section and turn. The display area A414 displays an icon indicating the motivation parameter of the main character. The types of icons are switched in a plurality of steps according to the main character's motivation parameter, and fluctuate according to the occurrence of events. Also, when the menu button B403 is operated, a menu screen is displayed, allowing the user to check the settings or interrupt the scenario.

In the display area A404, the current physical strength gauge of the main character is displayed, and the physical strength gauge decreases when practice is selected in that turn, and the physical strength gauge increases when the player takes a rest or goes on a date. A display area 405 displays the name of the main character and the evaluation rank of the current basic ability. In the example shown in FIG. 4, since the main character is trained as a fielder, the current evaluation ranks of the aforementioned "ballistics", "meat", "power", "running ability", "shoulder strength", and "defensive ability" is displayed. When the main character is trained as a pitcher, "ball speed", "control", "stamina", and "type and amount of change of breaking ball" are displayed.

In each turn, the user can select what to do in that turn from a plurality of options P407, P408, P411-P413. It should be noted that if the option P410 of "increase ability" is selected, the turn is not completed accordingly. In addition, the option P409 differs in content depending on the type of scenario, and there are those that complete the turn and those that do not. Next, the contents of each option will be described.

When the option P407 of "rest" is selected, the player does not practice in that turn and recovers physical strength by resting. The amount of health recovered is determined by lottery. When the "practice" option P408 is selected, the screen transitions to a practice screen G500 in FIG. 5, which will be described later, and the user selects 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 "ability up" is selected, the ability of the main character can be improved. In other words, when the ability value of the main character's basic ability is to be increased or the ability value of the main character is to be acquired, the option P410 is selected to increase the ability of the main character. Although the details will be described later, the experience points that the main character acquires and accumulates according to the progress of the game such as practice and events are consumed to raise the ability value of basic abilities and acquire special abilities. becomes possible.

When the option P411 of "going to the hospital" is selected, the main character's illness or the like is cured with a predetermined probability. When the option P412 of "Play" is selected, the physical strength of the main character is recovered, and the motivation parameter of the main character is increased by one level with a high probability. When the "date" option P413 is selected, the physical strength of the main character is recovered.

Next, a case where the option P408 of "practice" is selected on the main screen G400 shown in FIG. 4 will be described. When the “practice” option P408 is selected, the screen transitions to the practice screen G500 shown in FIG. FIG. 5 shows an example of a practice screen G500. Note that the example shown in FIG. 5 shows the screen in a state in which the exercise for building "strength" is provisionally selected by the arrow P510. In the display area A501, unconsumed experience points among the accumulated experience points acquired by the main character as the game progresses are displayed. Experience points are points that are consumed to improve the abilities of the main character's character. There are five types of experience points: "strength", "agility", "skill", "breaking ball", and "spirit", and the type and value of experience points obtained differ depending on the content of practice. As shown in FIG. 5, when the exercise of "strength" is selected, experience points of "strength" and experience points of "spirit" are obtained. In addition, the display area A502 displays the amount of increase in experience points when the exercise is selected, and the user can select the content of the exercise while referring to the amount of increase in experience points.

The display area A505 displays teammates who participate in the practice together. The teammates who participate together include the above-mentioned scenario-specific and predetermined event characters, event characters set in the event deck, other default characters, teammates randomly selected from scouts and managers, etc. The more teammates you have with you, the more experience points you get. In the display area A506, the teammate's name and the evaluation value for the main character are displayed in gauges. 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. The higher the hero's evaluation value, the more special ability tricks you can acquire, and the greater the increase in experience points. Note that once you acquire a special ability tip, the experience points required to acquire that special ability will decrease.

The display area A507 displays the favorite practice associated with the teammate. When the finally selected practice matches the good practice, benefits such as gaining more experience points are given to the hero for training. Note that the good practice is displayed only for event characters set in the event deck, and is not displayed for scenario-specific and predetermined event characters (excluding those set in the event deck) and other default characters. In addition, it is possible to practice with a maximum of five teammates, and the combination of teammates corresponding to each practice (content) 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 of the main character is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, when that practice is selected, a special A special practice called tag practice is held. Special tag practice will give you more experience points than usual.

The display area A508 displays the injury rate when the exercise is selected. The injury rate increases as the current physical strength decreases, and the user can refer to the injury rate and operate the return button B504 to return to the main screen G400 in FIG. 4 and select "rest" or the like again. The higher the injury rate, the easier it is for the main character to get injured when practicing. If you're injured, you won't get any experience points for practicing.

Different exercise contents can be selected from the options P511 to P516. For example, the user presses one of the options P511 to P516 with a finger or the like to execute the exercise. In addition, before finally selecting one of the options P511 to P516, the user slides the arrow P510 in the horizontal direction to determine the amount of increase in experience points when each practice is selected and the amount of experience points to be practiced together. You can see which teammates are playing. Further, options P511 to P516 display respective training levels. Selecting the same exercise multiple times will increase your level, with higher level exercises earning more experience points.

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, the experience points of "strength", "skill" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained. When the option P512 of "muscular strength" is selected, the experience points of "muscular strength" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 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, the experience points of "strength" and "agility" displayed in the display area A501 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, the experience points of "strength", "agility" and "technique" displayed in the display area A501 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, the experience points of "agility", "technique" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained. When the option P516 of "mental" is selected, the physical strength of the main character is recovered, and the experience points of "skill" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained.

The example shown in FIG. 5 is an example in which the main character is trained as a fielder. In the case where the main character is trained as a pitcher, the practice contents of options P511 to P516 are respectively "ball speed" and "control". , "stamina", "breaking ball", "defense" and "mental". 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".

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, the experience points of "strength", "skill" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained. When the option of "control" is selected, the experience points necessary for increasing the "control", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, experience points for "skill" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 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, the experience points of "muscular strength" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained. When the option of "breaking ball" is selected, the experience points required to increase the type and amount of change of "breaking ball", which is one of the basic abilities of the main character, are obtained. Specifically, the experience points of "skill", "breaking ball" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained.

When the "defense" option is selected, the experience points of "agility", "skill" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained. When the "mental" option is selected, the main character's physical strength is recovered, and the experience points of "skill" and "spirit" displayed in the display area A501 are obtained.

Next, a case where the option P410 of "ability up" is selected on the main screen G400 shown in FIG. 4 will be described. When the option P410 of "ability up" is selected, the setting screen G600 shown in FIG. 6 is displayed.

FIG. 6 shows an example of a setting screen G600 for increasing the ability value of the basic ability of the main character trained as a fielder. FIG. 6 shows the setting screen G600 in the initial state when transitioned from the main screen G400. The initial state refers to a state in which the hero character's abilities have been increased (increased basic abilities, acquired special abilities) prior to the current time point in the scenario. The display area A601 displays the evaluation rank and ability value of each basic ability in the initial state. In addition, the display area A602 displays the evaluation rank and ability value of each basic ability with experience points assigned. The selection button B611 is a button for transitioning to a setting screen for increasing the ability value of the basic ability, and the example in FIG. 6 shows a state in which the selection button B611 has been operated. Note that when the selection button B612 is operated, the screen transitions to a setting screen G800 for acquiring special abilities, as shown in FIG.

The display area A603 displays experience points that are not used for allocation among the currently accumulated experience points. By allocating the experience points displayed in the display area A603 to basic abilities and special abilities, it is possible to increase the ability value of the main character's basic abilities and acquire special abilities. Allocating experience points means performing once or more than once or more times the abilities that make up basic abilities and special abilities, and associating the experience points necessary to improve those abilities. The allocated experience points are treated as used and subtracted from the experience points displayed in the display area A603. Usage means provisionally being consumed until the allocation is finalized, as will be described later. In this way, the display area A603 displays the currently usable experience points.

A list of basic abilities is displayed in the display area A604, and the experience points required to raise the ability value of each basic ability by 1 are displayed. As described above, for each basic ability, the experience points required to raise the ability value of the basic ability are determined according to the type of experience points, so that the method of allocating the experience points becomes diverse. A button B613 is displayed corresponding to each basic ability, and by operating the button B613, experience points can be used to increase the ability value of the corresponding basic ability. For example, when the "Meat" button B613 is operated once in the initial state of FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 6, "Spirit" 4) is used to raise the ability value of "Meat" by 1, and the displays in the display areas A602 and A603 are updated to reflect this. Depending on the number of times the button B613 is operated, the ability value of the corresponding basic ability can be increased step by step. By allocating experience points to a basic ability arbitrarily selected by the user on the setting screen G600 in this manner, manual allocation processing for increasing the ability value of the basic ability becomes possible.

In addition, in the display area A604, the experience points displayed in the display area A603 (experience points that can be used at the present time) are insufficient and the basic ability cannot be increased, or the ability value has already reached the upper limit. For the basic abilities that have been, it is grayed out, for example, as it is impossible to allocate experience points. For example, in the initial state of FIG. 6, the basic ability "running" is grayed out because the experience points of "agility" required to increase the ability value of the basic ability "running" are insufficient.

Further, automatic allocation processing is executed by operating the Random button B617. Although the details will be described later, in the automatic allocation process, by allocating experience points to basic abilities and special abilities selected according to a predetermined rule, the ability values of basic abilities are increased and special abilities are acquired. In this embodiment, the automatic allocation process can be executed when a certain condition is satisfied that the game items selected before the start of the scenario include automatic allocation permitted items. By restricting the execution of the automatic allocation process in this way, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

The allocation of experience points in this manner is not finalized until the finalize button B618 is operated. That is, until the confirmation button B618 is operated, the allocation is provisional, and the consumption of experience points is not confirmed.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a button B614 is displayed corresponding to the basic ability to which experience points are assigned. By operating the button B614, it is possible to cancel the allocation of experience points and return the used experience points to an unused state. This process is called a rebate process. For example, in the state of FIG. 7, if the "Meat" button B614 is operated once, the experience points ("Strength" 1, "Technique" 6, "Mental" 4) used to raise the ability value of "Meat" by 1 ) becomes unused, the ability value of “Meat” is decreased by 1, and the displays in the display areas A602 and A603 are updated to reflect this (in this case, the display returns to the initial state of FIG. 6). will be). When the ability value of the basic ability is raised step by step, the ability value of the corresponding basic ability can be lowered step by step depending on the number of times the button B614 is operated.

Moreover, by operating the reset button B616, the allocation of the experience points at that time can be collectively canceled, and the used experience points can be returned to the unused state. That is, it is possible to return to the initial state.

Further, by operating the return button B615, the selection of the option P410 of "upgrade ability" on the main screen G400 can be canceled and the screen can be returned to the main screen G400. It should be noted that, at the time of operating the return button B615, if the allocation of experience points has been made, the allocation of experience points at that time is collectively canceled, and after returning the used experience points to the unused state That is, after returning to the initial state, it returns to the main screen G400.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a setting screen G800 for acquiring special abilities of the main character trained as a fielder. The setting screen G800 basically has the same screen configuration as the setting screen G600 for increasing the ability value of the basic ability, and the description of the content overlapping with the setting screen G600 will be omitted. A list of special abilities is displayed in the display area A801, and the experience points required to acquire each special ability are displayed. As described above, for each special ability, the experience points required to acquire the special ability are determined according to the type of experience points, so that the method of allocating the experience points becomes diverse. All special abilities can be viewed by moving the scroll bar displayed in the display area A802.
As in the setting screen G600, a button B613 is displayed corresponding to each special ability, and a button B614 is displayed corresponding to a special ability to which experience points are assigned. Also on the setting screen G800, by allocating experience points to a special ability arbitrarily selected by the user, manual allocation processing for acquiring the special ability becomes possible. In addition, rebate processing becomes possible.
In addition, as in the setting screen G600, in the display area A801, experience points are not allocated for special abilities that cannot be obtained due to insufficient experience points displayed in the display area A603, or special abilities that have already been obtained. For example, it is grayed out as being impossible.

The examples shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 show the case where the main character is trained as a fielder. In the case of training the main character as a pitcher, the basic abilities listed in the display area A604 are "ball speed" and "control". , replaced by "Stamina".
Also, for "breaking ball", which is one of the basic abilities when training as a pitcher, there are separate setting screens for "ball speed", "control", and "stamina". In addition to a selection button for basic abilities similar to the selection button B611 shown in FIG. When this selection button is selected, the type of breaking ball can be selected. As with the other basic abilities, the experience points required to increase the curve ball's variation by 1 are displayed, and experience points can be used to increase the curve's variation.

The experience point management unit 1201 reads the experience points accumulated in the main character data DT3, and displays the display area A501 of the practice screen G500 illustrated in FIG. It is displayed in the display area A603 of G800. Further, when the confirmation button B618 is operated in a state in which experience points have been allocated by the manual allocation unit 1201 or the automatic allocation unit 1203, the experience point management unit 1201 confirms the consumption of the experience points, and transfers it to the main character data. The experience points of the main character data DT3 are updated by subtracting them from the experience points accumulated in DT3.

The manual allocation unit 1202 allocates experience points to basic abilities and special abilities arbitrarily selected by the user within the range of experience points displayed in the display area A603 of the setting screens G600 and G800. Carry out a manual allocation process that raises values or acquires special abilities. The manual allocation unit 1202 updates the displays of the display areas A602 and A603 of the setting screens G600 and G800 as the manual allocation process is executed.

The rebate unit 1204 updates the displays of the display areas A602 and A603 of the setting screens G600 and G800 as the rebate process is executed.

[3. Flow of processing in the game system]
The flow of processing in the game device 10 according to this embodiment will be described below.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed by the game device 10 according to this embodiment. The processing described below is realized by the CPU 101 reading a game program stored in the storage device 107 to the RAM 103 and executing the game program.

The flowchart of FIG. 11 shows a state in which the "ability up" option P410 is selected on the main screen G400 shown in FIG. 4 and the "ability up" mode is set. Executed when the user interacts with the displayed state.
In step S100, the game control section 120 determines whether or not the user operation is an operation for instructing manual allocation, specifically whether or not it is an operation of the button B613. If the operation is a manual allocation instruction, the process proceeds to step S102, and if the operation is not a manual allocation instruction, the process proceeds to step S104.

At step S102, the manual allocation unit 1202 of the game control unit 120 executes manual allocation processing. Specifically, the manual allocation unit 1202 allocates one experience point to the basic ability or special ability corresponding to the operated button B613, thereby increasing the ability value of the basic ability or acquiring the special ability. do. In addition, the manual allocation unit 1202 updates the displays of the display areas A602 and A603 of the setting screens G600 and G800 as the manual allocation process is executed. After that, the process returns to step S100. It should be noted that the allocation of experience points is not finalized until the finalize button B618 is operated as described above.

In step S104, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the user operation is an operation for instructing automatic allocation, specifically whether or not it is an operation of the Random button B617. If the operation is for instructing automatic allocation, the process proceeds to step S106, and if the operation is not for instructing automatic allocation, the process proceeds to step S108.

At step S106, the automatic allocation unit 1203 of the game control unit 120 executes automatic allocation processing. Details of the automatic allocation process will be described later, but the automatic allocation unit 1203 allocates experience points to basic abilities and special abilities selected according to a predetermined rule, thereby increasing the ability value of basic abilities and acquiring special abilities. or After that, the process returns to step S100. It should be noted that the allocation of experience points is not finalized until the finalize button B618 is operated as described above.

In step S108, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the user operation is the return button B615. If the return button B615 is operated, the process proceeds to step S110, and if the return button B615 is not operated, the process proceeds to step S112.

In step S110, the game control unit 120 executes return processing. Specifically, when the return button B615 is operated, if the experience points have been allocated, the game control unit 120 collectively cancels the allocation of the experience points at that time and uses the After returning the experience points to the unused state, that is, returning to the initial state, the program returns to the main screen G400 and exits from this flowchart.

In step S112, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the user operation is a refund instruction operation, specifically whether or not the button B614 is operated. If the operation is for instructing a refund, the process proceeds to step S114, and if the operation is not for instructing a refund, the process proceeds to step S116.

In step S114, the rebate section 1204 of the game control section 120 executes rebate processing. Specifically, the rebate unit 1204 cancels the one-time allocation of the experience points to the basic ability or the special ability corresponding to the operated button B614, and puts the experience points used in the one-time allocation into an unused state. back to In addition, the rebate unit 1204 updates the display of the display areas A602 and A603 of the setting screens G600 and G800 as the rebate process is executed. Rebates are possible regardless of whether allocation was made in the manual allocation process of step S102 or the automatic allocation process of step S106. After that, the process returns to step S100.

At step S116, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the user operation is the operation of the reset button B616. If the reset button B616 is operated, the process proceeds to step S118, and if the reset button B616 is not operated, the process proceeds to step S120.

In step S118, the game control unit 120 executes reset processing. Specifically, the game control unit 120 collectively cancels the allocation of experience points when the reset button B616 is operated, and returns the used experience points to an unused state, that is, to the initial state. After that, the process returns to step S100.

At step S120, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the user operation is the operation of the confirm button B618. If the confirmation button B618 is operated, the process proceeds to step S122, and if the confirmation button B618 is not operated, the process returns to step S100.

At step S122, the game control unit 120 executes a confirmation process. Specifically, the game control unit 120 confirms the allocation of experience points at the time when the confirmation button B618 is operated, returns to the main screen G400, and exits from this flowchart. Also, the experience point management unit 1201 of the game control unit 120 confirms the consumption of experience points and subtracts them from the experience points accumulated in the main character data DT3, thereby updating the experience points of the main character data DT3. do.

Next, the details of the automatic allocation process in step S106 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 15. FIG.
FIGS. 12A and 12B are flowcharts showing an example of automatic allocation processing in step S106.
As shown in FIG. 12A, in step S200, the automatic allocation unit 1203 determines whether the game items selected before the start of the scenario include an automatic allocation permitted item. If the automatic allocation permitted item is not included, the process proceeds to step S202, and if the automatic allocation permitted item is included, the process proceeds to step S204.

In step S202, the automatic allocation unit 1203 displays a display to notify the user that automatic allocation processing cannot be executed. At this time, in order to enable execution of the automatic allocation process, it may be notified that an automatic allocation permitted item is required. After that, this flow chart is exited.

In step S204, the automatic allocation unit 1203 superimposes and displays a confirmation screen G1300 for confirming automatic allocation on the setting screens G600 and G800, as shown in FIG. 13, for example. Note that the confirmation screen G1300 may also notify that the experience points can be refunded or reset even after the automatic allocation process.

In step S206, the automatic allocation unit 1203 determines whether or not "yes" is selected on the confirmation screen G1300. If "yes" is selected, the process proceeds to step S208, and if "no" is selected, the flow exits from this flowchart.

In step S208, the automatic allocation unit 1203 performs automatic allocation.
In automatic allocation, first, the abilities to be allocated (basic abilities and abilities that constitute special abilities) are determined. The abilities displayed in the display area A603 to which experience points cannot be allocated are excluded from allocation targets. That is, the abilities to be allocated are the abilities that are candidates for allocating experience points by automatic allocation. As mentioned above, basic abilities and special abilities that cannot be raised or acquired due to lack of experience points, basic abilities that have already reached the upper limit, and special abilities that have already been acquired Abilities are excluded from assignment.

Then, within the range of experience points displayed in the display area A603, the experience points are allocated so that the player assessment of the main character becomes higher. An assessment value is determined for each ability that constitutes the basic ability and special ability, and the total is the player assessment. By increasing the player assessment of the main character, the player can be trained into a high-ranked player.
Here, an index called "assessment efficiency" is used in order to allocate experience points so that the player assessment will be higher. Assessment efficiency is the assessment value of an ability divided by the experience points required to improve that ability. In other words, the assessment efficiency is an index that indicates how easily an assessment value can be increased with respect to experience points.

Special abilities have a single rating per ability. For example, if the assessment value of special ability A is 80 and the experience points required to acquire special ability A are 100, the assessment efficiency will be 0.80.

On the other hand, in the case of basic ability, even if the ability is the same, the assessment efficiency will be different depending on the range of the ability value. In the basic ability, if the ability value increases, the evaluation value also increases, but the evaluation value does not increase if the ability value increases by 1, and the threshold value of the ability value when the evaluation value increases is set. For example, in the case of "running ability", the assessment value increases when the ability value reaches 5, 15, 25, 30, 35, 45, etc. However, the appraisal value does not change). Also, the experience points required to raise the ability value by 1 varies depending on how the assessment value rises at each threshold and the range of the ability value. Therefore, the assessment efficiency will be different depending on the range of ability values, and there will be a range with high assessment efficiency and a range with low assessment efficiency. For example, in the case of "running ability", the assessment efficiency has different values when the ability value is in the range of 5 or more and 14 or less, 15 or more and 24 or less, 25 or more and 29 or less, 30 or more and 34 or less, or 35 or more and 44 or less.

By utilizing such assessment efficiency and allocating experience points in descending order of assessment efficiency among the basic abilities and special abilities to be allocated, for example, experience points are allocated so that the player assessment of the main character becomes higher. can be allocated.

FIG. 12B shows an example of automatic allocation in step S208.
In step S2081, the automatic allocation unit 1203 determines abilities to be allocated (basic abilities and abilities constituting special abilities) as described above. Abilities to be allocated are candidates for automatically allocating experience points. Basic abilities whose ability values have already reached the upper limit and special abilities that have already been acquired are excluded from allocation targets.
In step S2082, the automatic allocation unit 1203 identifies the ability with the highest assessment efficiency among the abilities to be allocated.
In step S2083, the automatic allocation unit 1203 allocates one experience point to the ability identified in step S2082.
In step S2084, the automatic allocation unit 1203 determines whether or not the termination condition is satisfied. For example, the end condition is that the experience points displayed in the display area A603 have been used up, that is, there is no remaining experience points to allocate one time to any ability.
If the termination condition is not met in step S2084, the process returns to step S2081. By allocating experience points in step S2083, there is a possibility that the number of abilities excluded from the allocation targets will increase, so the process of step S2081 must be performed each time (each time experience points are allocated). In addition, by allocating experience points in step S2083, there is a possibility that the number of abilities that will be excluded from the allocation target will increase, and even if the basic ability is the same, the assessment efficiency will be a different value depending on the range of ability values. By allocating experience points in step S2083, the ability with the highest assessment efficiency may change, so the process of step S2082 needs to be performed each time (every time experience points are allocated).
On the other hand, if the termination condition is satisfied in step S2084, the flow exits from this flowchart.

As described above, as a predetermined rule in the automatic allocation process, the ability to which the experience points are allocated is selected based on the assessment efficiency, but other rules may be included.
For example, priority acquisition capability may be set. In this case, first, experience points are allocated so that the preferential acquisition ability can be obtained regardless of the assessment efficiency, and after the preferential acquisition ability is obtained, the experience points are assigned to the ability with high assessment efficiency. When playing a game, a fielder needs a certain amount of striking power. Therefore, experience points are preferentially allocated to, for example, the basic ability "meat" and the basic ability "power" until a predetermined evaluation value is reached. Also, if you are a pitcher, you need a certain amount of control and ball speed. Therefore, for example, experience points are preferentially assigned to the basic ability "ball speed" and the basic ability "control" until a predetermined evaluation value is reached. A game may be played during the training part (the fourth section of the scenario), and the results will affect subsequent training. In the game in the middle of the training part, the main character with the abilities at that time (the main character in the middle of training) is used, so the abilities that can be said to be more effective when playing the game are prioritized at the early stage of the training part. It is preferable to keep it up.

Also, in the automatic allocation process, the experience points displayed in the display area A603 are used up, but the experience points may be automatically allocated up to a predetermined upper limit. By setting the upper limit of the experience points, the player assessment of the main character is automatically increased to a certain extent, and after that, it becomes possible to enhance the abilities of the main character so that the user can become the preferred character.

Also, in the automatic allocation process, the allocation policy may be specified by the user. In this embodiment, when the main character is trained as a pitcher, a screen G1400 for allowing the user to select whether or not to emphasize "stamina" is superimposed on the setting screens G600 and G800, as shown in FIG. I am trying to If you aim to be a starting pitcher, focus on "stamina" and increase your "stamina" ability first, and if you aim to be a suppressing pitcher, improve other abilities without focusing on "stamina". be able to. By making it possible to specify the allocation policy in this way, the policy intended by the user can be reflected in the automatic allocation process.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, as with basic abilities and special abilities, experience points can be consumed to obtain sub-positions. By acquiring sub-positions, the main character can take charge of defense positions other than those to which he/she is apt. In the automatic allocation process, experience points are not allocated for acquiring sub-positions. In addition, if you consume experience points and acquire a sub-position, "Ability improvement at sub-position" will be added as one of the special abilities. This special ability "improve ability at sub-position" may be acquired by automatic allocation processing.

Returning to FIG. 12A, in step S210, the automatic allocating unit 1203 performs display for notifying the user of the result of allocating experience points by the automatic allocating process. For example, when experience points are allocated to both basic abilities and special abilities, as shown in FIG. do. In the case of a pitcher, "basic ability", "breaking ball" and "special ability" may be displayed. In addition, when the experience points are not allocated at all by the automatic allocation processing due to insufficient experience points, etc., a screen G1501 indicating that the allocation has not been made is superimposed on the setting screens G600 and G800.

As described above, manual allocation processing and automatic allocation processing can be selectively executed, and while maintaining a state in which experience points are allocated by either manual allocation processing or automatic allocation processing, The other allocation process is viable.
For example, when the manual allocation process of step S102 is executed, the display of the display area A603 is updated so as to subtract the experience points used for allocation, and in step S106, within the range of experience points displayed in the display area A603 Automatic allocation processing can be performed. Also, when the automatic allocation process of step S106 is executed, the display of the display area A603 is updated so as to subtract the experience points used for allocation, and in step S102, within the range of experience points displayed in the display area A603 can perform manual allocation processing. Further, the rebate process of step S114 can be executed regardless of whether the allocation is performed by the manual allocation process of step S102 or the automatic allocation process of step S106, and the manual allocation of step S102 can be performed from the state of rebate. processing or the automatic allocation processing of step S106 can also be executed.
In this way, by the manual allocation process, it is possible to allocate the experience points reflecting the policy intended by the user, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game. Further, automatic allocation makes it possible to easily allocate experience points, for example, when a beginner of the game allocates the experience points, or when the main character wants to be trained quickly, and the taste of the game can be improved. By combining the manual allocation process and the automatic allocation process, it is possible to easily improve the ability of the main character while reflecting the policy intended by the user, thereby improving the taste of the game. be able to.

[4. Modification]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be changed as appropriate without departing from the gist of the present invention.
In the above-described embodiment, the experience points corresponding to the accumulation points of the present invention are divided into a plurality of types ("strength", "agility", "technique", "breaking ball", and "spirit"). However, the number of types is not limited, and it may not be divided into a plurality of types.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the Random button B617 is always displayed, and the Random button B617 is activated when the game items selected before the start of the scenario include automatic allocation permitted items. If the automatic allocation permitted item is not included, the Random button B617 itself may not be displayed.

Also, in the automatic allocation process, the rules are not limited to those described in the embodiments, and other rules may be changed or added. For example, a target player may be specified, and abilities may be improved so as to approach the specified target player. In this case, even if the experience points remain, it may not exceed the ability value of the target player's basic ability or acquire a special ability that the target player has not acquired.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, when notifying the user of the results of experience points assigned by the automatic allocation process, "basic ability" and "special ability" (in the case of a pitcher, "basic ability" and "breaking ball") , “special ability”), but more detailed information may be notified. For example, in the display areas A604 and A801 of the setting screens G600 and G800, the abilities to which the experience points are allocated by the automatic allocation process may be displayed in a different color or the like to make them stand out.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the processing described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12 is performed on the game device 10 side, but all or part of the processing may be performed on the server device 30 side.
