In this specification, for convenience of explanation, more detailed explanation than necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of already well-known matters and redundant descriptions of substantially the same configurations may be omitted.

The game system 1 is realized by a system in which a plurality of player terminals are connected to a server via a network. FIG. 1 shows an example of the overall configuration of a game system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 includes a plurality of player terminals 10 and a server 20. The player terminals 10 and the server 20 are connected to a network 2 such as the Internet and can communicate with each other. Note that the game system 1 of the present embodiment will be described assuming a server-client system, but it is also possible to adopt a peer-to-peer configuration in which player terminals 10 directly communicate with each other without going through a server.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the player terminal 10 and server 20 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The player terminal 10 has a processor 11 , a display device 12 , an input device 13 , a storage device 14 and a communication device 15 . Each of these components are connected by a bus 16 . It is assumed that an interface is interposed between the bus 16 and each constituent device as required. In this embodiment, the player terminal 10 is a smart phone. However, the player terminal 10 can be an information processing device such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, or a game device as long as it has the above configuration.

The server 20 likewise comprises a processor 21 , a display device 22 , an input device 23 , a storage device 24 and a communication device 25 . Each of these components are connected by a bus 26 . It is assumed that an interface is interposed between the bus 26 and each constituent device as required. Although the server 20 is realized by a computer in this embodiment, other information processing devices may be used.

The processors 11 and 21 control the overall operation of the player terminal 10 or the server 20, and are CPUs, for example. Note that an electronic circuit such as an MPU may be used as the processors 11 and 21 . The processors 11 and 21 perform various processes by reading and executing programs and data stored in the storage devices 14 and 24 . In one example, processors 11, 21 are comprised of multiple processors.

The display devices (displays) 12 and 22 display application screens and the like to the user (player) of the player terminal 10 or the user (administrator) of the server 20 under the control of the processors 11 and 21 . A liquid crystal display is preferable, but a display using an organic EL, a plasma display, or the like may be used.

The input devices 13 and 23 are user interfaces that receive input from the user to the player terminal 10 and the server 20, and are, for example, touch panels, touch pads, keyboards, or mice. Since the player terminal 10 is a smartphone in this embodiment, the player terminal 10 includes a touch panel as the input device 13, the touch panel also functions as the display device 12, and the display device 12 and the input device 13 are integrated. . The display device 12 and the input device 13 may be separate forms arranged at different positions. Since the server 20 is a computer, it has a keyboard and a mouse as input devices, and a liquid crystal display as a display device.

The storage devices 14 and 24 include storage devices using flash memory such as volatile memory RAM and non-volatile memory eMMC, UFS, SSD, magnetic storage devices, etc., which are provided in general smartphones and computers. It is a storage device. Storage devices 14, 24 may also include external memory. For example, the storage device 14 stores browser programs and game programs, and the storage device 24 stores server game programs. The browser program and the game program are started in response to a user's operation on the player terminal 10 and run on an operating system (OS) pre-installed in the player terminal 10 . The server game program includes functions and various data for performing information processing so as to appropriately progress the game on the browser program and the game program executed on each player terminal, which is a client. A database that is physically separated from the player terminal 10 and the server 20 can also be used as the storage device.

Communication devices 15 and 25 exchange data with other devices via network 2 (not shown in FIG. 2). For example, the communication devices 15 and 25 perform wireless communication such as mobile communication and wireless LAN, and connect to the network 2 . The player terminal 10 uses the communication device 15 to communicate with the server 20 via the network. The communication devices 15 and 25 may perform wired communication using an Ethernet (registered trademark) cable or the like.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a functional block diagram of the player terminal 10 and the server 20 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The player terminal 10 includes an input unit 31, a display unit 32, a communication unit 33, a game control unit 34, and a storage unit 35. The server 20 includes an input unit 41, a display unit 42, a communication unit 43, a game control unit 44, and a storage unit. A portion 45 is provided. In this embodiment, these functions are realized by the processors 11 and 21 executing programs. For example, the programs to be executed are browser programs and game programs stored in the storage devices 14 and 24 . In this way, since various functions are realized by program loading, one part (function) may be partly or wholly included in another part. These functions may also be realized by hardware by constructing an electronic circuit or the like for realizing part or all of each function.

The input units 31 and 41 are configured using the input devices 13 and 23 and receive inputs from the user to the player terminal 10 and the server 20 . The player terminal 10 and the server 20 receive user input through the input units 31 and 41 . User inputs may include, for example, command inputs indicating player instructions in a game. In this embodiment, the player terminal 10 can use a touch detection function that a smart phone having a touch panel generally has.

The display unit 32 of the player terminal 10 uses the display device 12 to display the game screen, and displays the game screen according to the progress of the game and user operations. The display unit 42 of the server 20 displays a management screen for the game manager on the display device 22 as necessary.

The game control units 34 and 44 store various data necessary for control processing and processing in the storage units 35 and 45 when executing the game of the present embodiment. In this embodiment, the game control unit 34 of the player terminal 10 is implemented using a browser program, and processes input/output information to the user, processes transmission/reception signals to/from the server 20, and the like. It may be implemented by installing a game application on the player terminal 10 .

The game control unit 44 of the server 20 is realized by executing the server game program, and performs processing for the game executed on the player terminal 10 . In one example, the game control unit 44 periodically or as necessary when the browser is activated in the player terminal 10, the game control unit 34 is realized, and the server 20 is accessed to progress the game. Data is sent and received accordingly, and the game progresses. For example, the game control unit 44 stores control processing and necessary various data in executing the game of the present embodiment in the storage unit 45, and appropriately provides the player terminal 10 with the data.

The game control unit 44 executes processing associated with various commands such as a game start request received from the player terminal 10 via the communication unit 43 based on player input. The storage units 35 and 45 are configured using the storage devices 14 and 24, respectively. The storage unit 45 of the server 20 stores information necessary for executing the game, including player information, group information, and trained game content information.

In the game system according to the present embodiment, it is assumed that a first game and a second game can be executed. Although the game is a game in which the player battles with enemy characters, the system may be such that only the first game is executed, or three or more games may be executed.

In the first game, the player progresses the game by raising the raising target game media placed in the virtual space using the raising material game media. A player belongs to a group. A group consists of one or more players. The trained game media include jointly trained game media that can be trained jointly by players belonging to a group and individual trained game media that can be trained by each player. It is possible to generate effects in the game according to the degree of training of the training target game media.

The game control unit 44 stores player parameters in association with player identifiers in the storage unit 45, stores player identifiers in association with group identifiers, and manages information on players and groups. Further, in the storage unit 45, the jointly-raised game media are stored in association with the group identifier, and the individually-raised game media are stored in association with the player identifier. The player shall be able to select the group to which he/she belongs. When the game control unit 44 receives from the player terminal 10 a request to join the group selected based on the player's operation input, the game control unit 44 determines whether or not the conditions for joining the group are satisfied.

If it is determined that the conditions for joining the group are satisfied, the group identifier of the group is associated with the player identifier of the player and stored, thereby executing processing for joining the group. If the conditions are not met, notification information to that effect is transmitted to the player terminal 10 and presented on the player terminal 10 to prompt selection of another group. The joining condition can be, for example, whether or not there is a surplus of players who can belong to the group, or whether or not a player satisfies a condition set by an administrator such as a leader who is one of the members of the group. .

When a player withdraws from a group to which the player belongs, processing for deleting the correspondence between the player identifier of the player and the group identifier of the group is executed, and when the player newly joins another group, the player is associated with the group identifier of the group to which it newly belongs.

In the case where the player grows his or her own personal development target game content while belonging to a predetermined group, after the processing of deleting the correspondence between the player identifier of the player and the group identifier of the group is executed, or a new After being associated with the group identifier of the group belonging to the player, the level of training of the individual training target game media stored in association with the player identifier of the player can be maintained.

The process of generating an in-game effect includes a process of generating an in-game effect for a player with a player identifier associated with the individual-developing game medium based on the training level of the individual-developing game medium, and a joint-development process. and generating an in-game effect for the player having the player identifier associated with the group identifier associated with the jointly-raised target game content, based on the degree of training of the target game content.

The process of generating an in-game effect includes a process of generating an in-game effect based on the total training degree of a plurality of jointly-raised target game media associated with the group identifier. For the total training degree, for example, the training degree is the level of the trained game content, and the total training degree is the total value of the levels of the plurality of jointly-raised game media associated with the group identifier.

The generated in-game effect may be the effect generated in the first game, the effect generated in the second game, or both.

The game control unit 44 responds to a virtual space display request based on a player operation input via the player terminal 10, and responds to the personal training target game medium associated with the player identifier of the player and the personal training target game medium to which the player belongs. Information for displaying the virtual space in which the jointly raised game media associated with the group identifier of the group is arranged is transmitted to the player terminal 10, and the player terminal 10 displays the virtual space on the display unit 32 based on the received information. indicate. Game media other than the training target game media may be placed in the virtual space.

The displayed virtual space may be part of the entire virtual space. If the jointly-raised game media and the individually-raised game media are arranged in any area of the entire virtual space, the jointly-raised game media and the individually-raised game media are displayed in the part of the virtual space displayed on the display unit 32. Either one of the game media may be displayed, or none of them may be displayed in a part of the virtual space.

As an example of the first game executed by the game system according to this embodiment, a game for developing facilities placed in a virtual space will be described. Here, the virtual space is assumed to be one island, and the game media are nurtured by developing the nurtured game media representing the facilities placed on the island. The training target game media are not limited to facilities, and may be any game media that can train items, equipment, monsters, characters, and the like. The virtual space may also be any space as long as it is a space in which the training target game media can be arranged.

FIG. 4 shows a diagram expressing the entire virtual space of this embodiment. Here, an island 51, which is a virtual space to be raised by a group, is divided into three areas, and the play area is increased step by step. In the scenario setting of the game, the player settles on the desolate island from the left area, and as the development progresses, the area targeted by the player expands. For example, each area may be made playable based on the game progress of each group, or the area corresponding to the condition may be made playable when the player satisfies a certain condition.

In the game setting of this embodiment, the left area 52 is the commercial zone port area, the central area 53 is the industrial zone flatland area, and the right area 54 is the cultural zone area. The left area 52 includes facility A, which is a wharf, facility B, which is an urban area, and facility C, which is a private residence. The central area 53 includes facility D as a mining site, facility E as an industrial town, and facility F as a spa town. Right area 54 includes facility G as a theater and facility H as a management building.

The facility C, which is a private residence, is the individual-raised game medium associated with the player identifier, and the other facilities are the jointly-raised game medium associated with the group identifier.

A game screen including an image showing one of the areas shown in FIG. An image showing the area of Furthermore, information such as an enlarged view of each facility and facility level may be displayed based on the player's operation for selecting each facility.

In order to develop each facility, it is necessary to consume training material items as training material game media. Training material items can be in-game currency or other items. Training material items required to raise each facility to a predetermined level are set in advance. The necessary breeding material items may be of one type, or may be a combination of two or more types of items. Further, conditions may be set for each of two or more types of items, and level increase processing may be executed by satisfying any one of these conditions. For example, facility A can be set so that facility level can be raised from 1 to 2 by consuming 100 gold coins, which are in-game currency, or by consuming 10 items A.

The raising material game media required to raise the level of the game media to be jointly raised may be contributed by any one of the members of the group, or may be shared by a plurality of players. . For example, in order to develop facility A to level 2 with 100 in-game gold coins, player A consumes 50 coins, player B consumes 30 coins, and player C consumes 20 coins. An ascent process can be performed.

When any player consumes training material media for a predetermined facility, the game control unit 44 determines the remaining necessary training materials based on the consumed training materials, and determines the remaining training materials based on the player's operation. The remaining necessary breeding materials can be displayed on the player terminals 10 of the members of the group. Then, when the necessary breeding materials are consumed, facility level raising processing is executed.

On the other hand, individual training target game media can be trained by consuming training material game media possessed by each player.

In this embodiment, in the virtual space displayed on the player terminal 10 of each player, the jointly-raised game media and the individually-raised game media associated with the player identifier of the player are displayed. It is assumed that the personal training target game content associated with the player identifier is not displayed.

As for the game media for joint training, we will provide the fun of training together with other members of the group by sharing the training game media necessary for leveling up, and each player will be the only protagonist in the virtual space. You can maintain the view of the world that appears. However, the present invention can also be implemented by displaying the personal training target game media of other players in the virtual space.

Examples of data stored in the storage unit 45 in this embodiment are shown in FIGS. FIG. 5 shows a player parameter table 50 that stores parameters in association with the player identifier of each player. Here, the player's name, group identifier (ID), attack power, hit points (HP), item identifier (ID) and the number of possessed items (number) are stored in association with the player identifier (ID). The parameters shown in FIG. 5 are an example, and may include defense power, weapons, character identifiers of characters owned by each player, parameters of each character, and the like. Assume here that the attack power and HP are used in the second game in which the character battles with the enemy character. The group identifier is the identifier of the group to which each player belongs, and information indicating that the player does not belong to any group is stored.

FIG. 6 shows a group management table 60 in which the group identifier of each group is stored in association with the parameter and the player identifier belonging to the group. Here, it is assumed that the group identifier includes the group name, player identifier and leader flag. The player identifier is the player identifier of the player belonging to the group associated with the group identifier, and the leader flag indicates the leader of the group, and "1" indicates the leader. The leader is an administrator with administrative powers who is authorized to execute orders not permitted to other members. For example, it is possible to determine and change the group name, island name, etc., and to allow other players to join. In addition to the leader, if a sub-leader with different authority from the leader or a different position such as an attack captain is provided, it may be specified by storing a value other than "1".

FIG. 7 shows a jointly-raised game media management table 70 that stores parameters related to jointly-raised game media associated with each group identifier. An island name is a name of an island as a virtual space that can be arbitrarily determined for each group. For example, it is stored and updated as determined and changed by the group leader.

Each group identifier is associated with the facility identifier, facility level, and appearance image identifier representing the appearance of the facility of the joint facility, which is the game medium to be co-raised, and the total facility level of all joint facilities of the group is calculated. Stored. Furthermore, here we include the number of tourists as one parameter for each group of islands.

The island development level is the island-wide level determined based on the total facility level. For example, if the total facility level is 1 to 7, the island development level is 1, if the total facility level is 8 to 14, the island development level is 2, and if the total facility level is 15 to 21, the island development level is 3. .

In other words, the level of island development can be raised by the players belonging to the group working together to develop the shared facility and raise the level of the facility. The total facility level and island reclamation level are based on the facility level of shared facilities and shall be determined independently of the facility level of individual facilities.

A player can arbitrarily select a group to belong to. Once you belong to a group, you may want to transfer to another group. If the facility level of a personal facility affects the island development level, even players who want to transfer to another group may worry that the island development level of their current group will drop. There are times when he hesitates to transfer. By making it so that the facility level of the personal facility does not affect the island development level, it is possible to limit the adverse effects on the group to which the player currently belongs, so that the player can more freely transfer groups. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced even if the total facility level and the island development level are determined based on the facility level of individual facilities as well.

The number of tourists shall also fluctuate based on the communal facility level. For example, when the facility level of any shared facility increases, the number of tourists can increase by an amount determined based on the increased facility level of the facility and the total facility level of the other facilities. As an example, as shown in FIG. 8, the minimum and maximum increments are defined based on the total facility level, and the increments can be determined based on random numbers within the range of the minimum to maximum increments. .

FIG. 9 shows a personal training target game media management table 90 in which parameters relating to personal training target game media are stored in association with the player identifier of each player. The facility name is the name of the personal training target game media, and can be arbitrarily determined and changed by each player. The facility level indicates the level of the individual training target game media.

Here, each player can train only one individual training target game medium, but two or more game contents may be trained. In that case, each game content can be managed by assigning an identifier to each game content as in the jointly-raised target game content management table. The image identifier is information for identifying an image representing the appearance of the facility.

The game control unit 44 can generate in-game effects based on the total facility level, each joint facility level, and the individual facility level. FIGS. 10-13 show an example effect table showing in-game effects generated based on the total facility level, each joint facility level, and individual facility level. By storing these tables in the storage unit 45 and referring to them by the game control unit 44 as necessary, it is possible to generate an in-game turn. The in-game effect can be anything. It may be an effect that occurs in the first game, an effect that occurs in the second game, or an effect that is common to the first and second games.

For example, if the facility level of a predetermined facility A, which is a shared facility, is 1, the amount of gold acquired when selling items is increased by 10%. This is the effect of increasing the amount of in-game gold coins that can be obtained by selling items that can be used in either or both of the first and second games by 10%. In-game gold coins can be used in either the first game or the second game. Further, when the facility level of the private residence is 3, there is an effect that the experience value obtained at the end of the battle in the second game is increased by 3%.

In addition to effects that can always occur at necessary timings such as when items are sold after reaching a predetermined level as described above, effects that occur only once when a predetermined level is reached may be used. For example, as an effect based on the island development level, an effect of granting a predetermined item only once upon reaching each level can be generated. If the island development level of the group to which the player belongs satisfies the condition, the items will be granted to all the members of the group at that point in time.

Items may not be given to a player who has transferred from another group and has already been given an item in the group to which he or she previously belonged. For example, for the player identifier of each player, an island development level reward receipt flag is set, and for players whose receipt flag is set to ON, it is indicated that the reward has already been obtained, and item provision processing is performed. can be prevented from running.

The game control unit 44 determines whether or not the player satisfies the effect generation condition at the timing when the in-game effect can occur, and determines the degree of the effect to be generated when the effect generation condition is satisfied. , triggers an in-game effect. For example, at the end of the battle of the second game, the facility level of the private residence associated with the player identifier is acquired, and if the facility level is 3, the acquired experience value is reduced by 3% based on the personal facility effect table. Execute the raising process.

Also, the in-game effect may be an effect that increases the parameters of the player character in the battle of the second game. For example, if the facility level of a private residence is 4 (not shown), the effect of increasing attack power by 3% will occur. can increase the attack power of the player character by 3%.

In this embodiment, the effect based on the level of the shared facility is applied to all players belonging to the group, and the effect based on the level of the personal facility is applied only to the player associated with the facility. However, the effect of the personal facility may also occur on other members of the group. Also, the effect based on the level of the personal facility may be generated even if the user does not belong to the group, or may not be generated if the user does not belong to the group.

Furthermore, after the facility level satisfies a predetermined condition, a time reward effect may be generated in which items are repeatedly given at predetermined time intervals. Here, after the total facility level of the group's shared facilities is 3 or more and the number of tourists is 1 or more, a certain interval is set for obtaining items for all players belonging to the group. Rights shall be granted. The item to be acquired is determined by lottery processing based on the item appearance probability table shown in FIG. 13, for example. Also, the item to be awarded may be only the in-game currency, and the amount may be fixed, or may be determined by lottery. Both in-game currency and other items may be determined by lottery.

Predetermined intervals can be determined based on the total facility level. Preferably, the intervals are shortened as the total facility level increases. For example, if the total facility level is 3 to 5, the interval will be 8 hours; 7 hours and 15 minutes, 7 hours for levels 15-17, 6 hours 45 minutes for levels 18-20, 6 hours 30 minutes for level 21, etc. Every 3 levels increase the interval is 15 can be shortened by minutes.

When the total facility level reaches 3, a timer for obtaining a time reward is started, and processing is performed to give the right to obtain a time reward to the player. If the total facility level reaches a level that shortens the predetermined interval during the interval until the next time reward acquisition right is granted, the shorter time interval is used from the next predetermined interval.

After a predetermined time interval elapses, the time reward is acquired by the player by executing an item lottery process in response to a time reward acquisition request based on the player's operation input, and by associating the item determined by the lottery with the player identifier. . A time reward acquisition right is granted to the player each time a predetermined time interval elapses, and the number of possession of the time reward acquisition right is accumulated until a time reward acquisition request is made.

In the present embodiment, the number of time-reward acquisition rights to be obtained after the elapse of a predetermined period of time is 10, but may be any other number. Also, an upper limit may be set for the number of time reward acquisition rights that can be possessed. For example, by accumulating and possessing the number of time reward acquisition rights until 10 predetermined time lapses, a maximum of 100 can be possessed, and the 11th and subsequent times can be prevented from being granted. It is possible to display the number of time reward acquisition rights currently possessed on the game screen so that the player can recognize it. The item lottery process may be automatically executed after a predetermined time interval has passed.

In addition to or instead of the reward based on the total facility level, a time reward may be given as an effect based on the degree of development of the individual jointly trained game media or individual trained game media. If a time reward is given in addition to the total facility level, it is preferable to give a different reward than the reward based on the total facility level.

FIG. 14 is an example of a game screen 140 including a virtual space display area 141 displayed on the display unit 32 of the player terminal 10 based on a virtual space display request based on player's operation. In the virtual space display area 141, an image representing the left area 52 including the wharf display portion 141-1, the city area display portion 141-2 and the residential area display portion 141-3 is displayed. When an operation input is made to the display virtual space switching unit operation unit 144, the island portion, which is the virtual space displayed in the virtual space display area 141, can be changed to another portion. When the player's operation input is made to the information display operation part displayed with "i" together with each facility display part 141-1 to 3, the information of each corresponding facility is displayed in the facility information display area 142. FIG.

FIG. 14 shows a state in which a player's operation input is made to the information display operation section "i" of the wharf display section 141-1 and wharf information is displayed. An image of the exterior of the wharf will be displayed, along with the fact that the wharf's facility level is 1, that it is being developed to raise the facility level to 2, and that the effect obtained by the current facility level is "Support cooperation reward 10% increase”. Further, when an operation input is made to the detailed display request section 143, the conditions necessary for further raising the facility level of the wharf are presented, and an operation input section for further raising is displayed. By performing an operation input on the operation input unit, the player can further raise the facility level by consuming breeding material game media for satisfying the necessary conditions.

After the corresponding facility is selected by operating the information display operation section, when an operation input is made to the appearance change operation section 145, an operation screen for changing the image representing the appearance of the selected facility is displayed. be done. Here, if there are a plurality of changeable appearances, a selection section is displayed for the player to select which appearance image to use. When one image is selected by the player, the image identifier indicating the selected image is associated with the facility identifier and stored in the management table shown in FIG. It is displayed in the display area 141, the facility information display area 142, and the like.

It is assumed that the number of images that can be selected as exterior images can be increased by raising the facility level. For example, when the facility level is raised, the image is changed to a new image that expresses the developed facility, and the player can choose to change the image to a lower facility level image. Furthermore, the number of selectable facility images can be increased by acquiring additional facility images through in-game events or the like, or by purchasing facility images by the player.

When an operation input is made to the facility level operation unit 146, information on the facility level and information for raising the facility level can be displayed. Here, it is assumed that information of all facilities and an operation unit for raising the facility level are displayed. When an operation input is made to the development level operation section 147, the facility level total value and the island development level are displayed. An island information display area 148 indicates the name of the island and the number of tourists.

When an operation input is made to the reward receiving operation unit 149, a time reward acquisition request is transmitted from the player terminal 10 to the server 20, a time reward lottery process is executed, and the determined items and in-game gold coins are acquired. shall be able to As shown in FIG. 15, which is an enlarged view of an example of the remuneration receiving operation unit 149 of FIG. 14, notification information 151 and 152 indicating the time remuneration can be displayed.

When the time reward acquisition rights are accumulated after a plurality of intervals for obtaining the time reward have passed, the accumulated number of acquired time reward acquisition rights can be indicated. Here, notification information 151 displaying the number of time reward acquisition rights that can acquire items and notification information 152 displaying the number of time reward acquisition rights that can acquire in-game gold coins are displayed. When the number of time reward acquisition rights is plural, when a time reward acquisition request is made, a lottery process is executed as many times as the number of acquisitions possessed, and the item to be given is determined.

Next, the information generation/storage, display, and breeding processing of the raised game content in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart 160 in FIG. Here, a case where a facility is used as a training target game medium will be described as an example. The game control unit 44 receives a breeding game start request from the player terminal 10 based on the player operation input (S101). It is assumed that the breeding game start request includes the player identifier of the player and the group identifier to which the player belongs. Based on the received group identifier, the game control unit 44 determines whether or not joint facility information associated with the group identifier has not been generated, that is, whether or not this group starts the breeding game for the first time. (S102). If it is determined that it has not yet been generated, new joint facility information is generated and registered in the jointly-raised target game content management table 70 (S104).

When the breeding game is started for the first time as a group, only a player who has the authority to start may start. For example, only when the player who sent the game start request is the leader, the process of generating new shared facility information (S104) is permitted, and if the player is not authorized, the fact that the player is not authorized is notified. Information can be displayed and processing can be aborted.

Further, it is determined whether or not the personal facility information has not yet been generated, that is, whether or not this player starts the breeding game for the first time (S106). If it is determined that it has not yet been generated, new personal facility information is generated and registered in the personal training target game content management table 90 (S108). The generated joint facility information and personal facility information can be generated based on predetermined parameters for predetermined facilities. The joint facility information may be generated when the group is created, and the personal facility information may be generated when the player registers the player information.

When the joint facility information and the personal facility information are stored in the storage unit 45, the joint facility information of the group to which the player belongs is retrieved by referring to the jointly raised target game content management table 70 in order to display the game screen including the virtual space. (S110), and the player's personal facility information is obtained by referring to the personal training target game content management table 90 (S112). Based on the acquired information, the game control unit 44 generates virtual space information in which each facility is arranged in the virtual space (S114), and displays a game screen including an image representing the virtual space on the display unit 32. (S116).

Image information for displaying an image representing the virtual space can be generated by the game control unit 44 and transmitted to the player terminal 10 . Further, the game control unit 44 transmits the image identification information of each facility to the player terminal 10, and the player terminal 10 stores the image information of each facility in advance in the storage unit 35, and responds based on the received image identification information. The image information of the facility to be used may be read out and image information for displaying an image expressing the virtual space may be generated.

In this embodiment, when a breeding game start request is made, a process of displaying a game screen including an image representing a virtual space is executed, so the breeding game start request includes a virtual space display request. After the breeding game start request, a virtual space display request may be newly made by the player's operation input, and the processing from S110 onward may be executed based on this request.

After the game screen is displayed, when the game media to be raised is selected by the player's operation input and a request for execution of the raising process is issued (S118), it is determined whether or not the raising conditions for the game media to be raised are satisfied. (S120). For example, if the breeding condition is to consume 100 in-game gold coins as a breeding material item, it is determined that the condition is met if the player possesses 100 gold coins and the player inputs use permission. If the conditions are not satisfied, the screen returns to the game screen display in which a new game medium to be raised can be selected (S116).

If it is determined that the breeding condition is satisfied, the breeding material item is consumed (S122). The training material item consumption process can be executed by decreasing the used training material item quantity from the player parameter table. The correspondence between the player parameter table and the identification information of the consumed item may be deleted.

Then, it is determined whether the trained game media are jointly trained game media or individually trained game media (S124). If it is a jointly-raised game medium, the jointly-raised game medium management table 70 is referenced, the facility level of the corresponding joint facility is increased, updated, and stored (S126). If it is a personal training game medium, the personal training game medium management table 90 is referenced, the facility level of the corresponding personal facility is increased, updated, and stored (S128). After that, returning to S110, virtual space information is generated based on the updated growing game content information, and the game screen is displayed (S110 to S116).

In addition to the island, or instead of the island, the facility may be used as a virtual space, and a training target game medium expressing furniture and the like arranged in the facility may be trained. In addition to the island, if the inside of the facility placed on the island is also a virtual space, the image representing the island and the image representing the inside of the facility placed on the island may be switched to be displayed. Alternatively, both may be displayed simultaneously on one screen.

FIG. 17 shows an example of an image 170 representing the inside of the game screen, with the player's personal house as a virtual space. In the virtual space image 170, game media 171 and 172 representing a bed and a sofa are arranged as personal training target game media. Similar to each facility in FIG. 14, the raising target game media 171 and 172 can be raised by consuming the raising material game media.

In the game screen, game media other than the breeding target game media may be arranged and displayed. For example, in FIG. 17, a game medium 173 representing the player who is the owner of the private facility displayed on the game screen 170 is displayed. A game medium representing a player may be a character owned by the player. The owned character can be multiple characters. In this embodiment, the possessed character is a second character that battles an enemy character. Furthermore, game media representing other players may be displayed. An image representing the character may also be displayed in the image representing the virtual space outside the facility as the breeding game medium, such as the image of the island shown in FIG.

The trained game media set as the virtual space may be jointly trained game media or individually trained game media. When the jointly-raised game media is a virtual space, the cultivated game media placed inside may be jointly-raised game media, individual-raised game media, or both.

By using the present embodiment, the group's members cooperate in developing the game media to be developed jointly by the group, thereby facilitating interaction between the players and providing the enjoyment of cooperatively progressing the game. By allowing each player to individually train the individual training target game media, it is possible to provide the enjoyment of training according to individual tastes.
