JP7213763B2 - GAME PROGRAM, GAME PROCESSING METHOD AND INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a game program, a game processing method, and an information processing apparatus, and more particularly to a game program for a game played by a user using items, a game processing method, and an information processing apparatus that provides this game.

In recent years, with the spread of electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets, games to be played on these electronic devices have been actively developed.

An example of such a game is a card game in which a user uses cards collected in the game to play against other users or computers.

In such a card game, the user obtains various kinds of cards as the game progresses. In particular, since cards with low rarity, which indicates the rarity of cards, are readily available, users tend to have a large number of low rarity cards.

However, since there is an upper limit to the number of cards that a user can hold, the user has to specify the processing method for each card that is not necessary for him/herself, resulting in a complicated operation. rice field.

On the other hand, Patent Literature 1 discloses a technique of automatically synthesizing an acquired card with a card to be strengthened based on attribute information preset by a user to strengthen the card. According to such a technique, it is possible to greatly reduce the effort required for the user's operation input.

However, with the above technology, it is not possible to freely select the timing of enhancing a card to be enhanced. Furthermore, after all the cards owned by the user have been strengthened to the limit, the effect of the above technology cannot be exhibited.

As another technique, there is also a technique that automatically converts acquired cards into experience points. However, in such technology, items that should have been able to be sent to other users through trade are treated as non-tradable items. This led to a decrease in the value of items for games implementing market functions.

In the condition registration function, filtering conditions regarding item information are registered (STEP 110). This item information can be selected by a user or an information processing device, which will be described later. This function can be implemented by a condition registration unit, which will be described later.

In the item giving function, an item is given to the user (STEP 120). This function can be implemented by an item granting unit, which will be described later. For example, this item can be given as a prize for winning a battle in a battle game, or can be given in a paid or free game called "Gacha", an event, or the like.

The comparison function compares the item information of the item granted by the item granting function and the filtering conditions registered by the condition registration function (STEP 130). This function can be realized by a comparison unit, which will be described later.

When the item information satisfies the filtering conditions as a result of comparison by the comparison function, the parameter conversion function digitizes the item based on the item information of the item (STEP 140). This function can be implemented by a parameter conversion unit, which will be described later. When the item information satisfies the filtering condition, for example, when the filtering condition is set to "Rarity is R or less", cards with a rarity of N or R satisfy the filtering condition. Cards that satisfy this filtering condition can be expressed numerically based on this rarity. This numerical value can be increased as the rarity is higher.

As a result of comparison by the comparison function, if the item information does not satisfy the filtering conditions, the item is given to the user as is.

The condition registration step registers filtering conditions regarding item information of items. This item information can be selected by a user or an information processing device, which will be described later. This step can be executed by a condition registration unit, which will be described later. For example, if the item information is rarity in which the rarity increases in the order of N, R, S, and SS, the filtering condition can be set such as "rarity is R or lower".

The item granting step grants the item to the user. This step can be executed by an item granting unit, which will be described later. For example, this item can be given as a prize for winning a battle in a battle game, or can be given in a paid or free game called "Gacha", an event, or the like.

The comparison step compares the item information of the item granted by the item granting step and the filtering conditions registered by the condition registration step. This step can be performed by a comparator, which will be described later.

The parameter conversion step quantifies the item based on the item information of the item when the item information satisfies the filtering condition as a result of the comparison by the comparison step. This step can be performed by a parameter converter, which will be described later. When the item information satisfies the filtering condition, for example, when the filtering condition is set to "Rarity is R or less", cards with a rarity of N or R satisfy the filtering condition. Cards that satisfy this filtering condition can be expressed numerically based on this rarity. This numerical value can be increased as the rarity is higher.

Note that if the item information does not satisfy the filtering conditions as a result of comparison in the comparison step, the item is given to the user as is.

The item conversion step converts the item into a specific item based on the numerical value of the item quantified by the parameter conversion step. That is, the number and level of specific items to be converted vary depending on the item's numerical value. This step can be performed by an item converter, which will be described later.
