The case of receiving programs and various data in this way and causing the terminal to function is also included within the scope of the present invention.

The processing unit 100 (processor) performs processing such as game processing, image generation processing, and sound generation processing based on input information (operation information) from the input unit 150, programs, data received via the communication unit 196, and the like. I do. The functions of the processing unit 100 can be realized by hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), and programs. The processing unit 100 includes a display control unit 110 , a selection unit 112 , a character breeding unit 114 , a breeding map connection unit 116 , an image generation unit 120 and a sound generation unit 130 .

The display control unit 110 causes the display unit 190 to display a training map associated with each character to be trained. The "training map" includes not only a character training map (dedicated training map) but also a training map shared with other characters (shared training map). For example, dedicated training maps may be prepared for all the characters to be trained, or dedicated training maps may be prepared for only some of the characters. In addition, characters sharing one breeding map with other characters and characters having dedicated breeding maps may coexist.

Each breeding map has a plurality of breeding marks arranged in a tree shape, a line shape, a grid shape, a tile shape, or the like. The breeding map may start from a given starting point, or may have no starting point. Each breeding mark is associated with a breeding element. A training element is an element having an effect (ability) for training a character. For example, training elements include effects that increase the character's basic abilities (attack power, defense power, resilience, etc.), special abilities (deathblows, feats, magic, skills, etc.) and occupations (jobs) for the character. Effect, effect to raise the level of the character, effect to acquire the experience value necessary to raise the level, effect to acquire training points (points consumed as consideration for training), equipment (weapons, armor, costumes , accessories, etc.) and gestures (character expressions and actions), effects of acquiring consumable items (recovery medicine, food, in-game currency, etc.) and non-consumable items (keys to open doors and treasure chests, etc.), voice It has the effect of acquiring data (in-game music, character voices, etc.) and image data (character illustrations, etc.), or the effect of releasing new game content (quests, missions, etc.). Training elements are not limited to elements having a positive effect (advantageous effect for the player in the game) as described above, but also elements having a negative effect (an unfavorable effect in the game for the player, for example, an effect of lowering the character's basic abilities). It may contain an element that has an effect, or it may contain an element that has no effect.

The selection unit 112 selects any breeding element from among a plurality of breeding elements associated with the character breeding map. Further, the selection unit 112 may select any breeding mark from the plurality of breeding marks arranged on the character breeding map based on the player's operation. It should be noted that the player may directly specify and select the breeding mark, or indirectly according to the player's operation (for example, a lottery may be performed according to the player's operation, and based on the lottery result of the lottery) ) may be selected. Alternatively, only the training marks arranged adjacent to the training marks already selected on the training map may be selected, or the player may freely select (arbitrary) training marks regardless of the arrangement of the training marks. You may make it possible. Also, the breeding elements associated with the breeding map (or the breeding marks arranged on the breeding map) may be automatically selected in order according to the route of the breeding map. In this case, the breeding mark may not be displayed at the time of selection. For example, after training is performed based on a training element selected according to the training map route (the next training element is internally selected), the training mark corresponding to that training element is trained as a trained training mark. It may be displayed (arranged) on a map.

When a training mark (training element) is selected, training points are consumed as compensation for training. Training points are points that can be earned in the game part (the main part of the game in which characters appear in the game and progress), and may be dedicated points that are used only as a consideration for training, or are also used in the game part. It may be a game parameter (eg, experience value). Further, training points may be given each time a predetermined period of time elapses, or may be given each time a player logs into the game. Training points may be given to characters and accumulated for each character, or may be given to players and accumulated for each player. Further, when the training points are accumulated for each character, the training points accumulated in the character may be consumed as compensation for training the character, or the training points for the training of a character different from the character may be used. You may make it consume as consideration. In addition, training points accumulated in a character may be shared and consumed by a plurality of characters. Also, the amount of required training points may be varied for each training mark (training element), or the type of training points required may be varied for each training mark (training element). For example, to select a training mark that increases a character's basic abilities, it is necessary to consume a type of training point called "exclusive point", and to select a training mark that allows a character to acquire equipment, it is necessary to use "experience You may make it necessary to consume the training point of a kind called "value". Further, the content (amount or type) of training points required may be changed according to the progress of the game part or the increase in the level of the player or character. Also, it is possible to make it unnecessary to consume training points to select a training mark. In this case, a limit may be set on the timing of shifting from the game part to the breeding part, the number of selectable breeding marks, and the time.

The character breeding unit 114 trains the character associated with the breeding map based on the breeding element (selected breeding element) associated with the breeding mark selected in the breeding map (the Activate the effect of the training element). In addition, based on the training element associated with the training mark selected in the training map, other characters different from the character associated with the training map may be affected. , the character associated with the training map and the other character may be trained, or only the other character may be trained.

The breeding map connection unit 116 connects a breeding map associated with a character and a breeding map associated with another character when the selection status in the breeding map satisfies a given connection condition. The selection status on the breeding map may be the position of the selected breeding mark on the breeding map, the content of the selected breeding mark, or the number of the selected breeding marks. Alternatively, it may be the number of breeding points. The breeding map connection unit 116 sets the contents of the breeding marks selected so far (the contents and types of breeding elements corresponding to the selected breeding marks) and the selection order for each breeding map associated with each character. It is stored in the storage unit 170 as a history of the selection status. Incidentally, the connection of breeding maps is not limited to connecting dedicated breeding maps.

Also, the breeding map connection unit 116 may connect breeding maps when the selection conditions in a plurality of breeding maps satisfy the connection condition. Also, the breeding map connection unit 116 may determine the breeding map to be connected according to the connection condition that is satisfied among the plurality of connection conditions. Also, the breeding map connection unit 116 may determine the connection position of the breeding map according to the connection condition that is satisfied among the plurality of connection conditions. Further, the breeding map connection unit 116 determines the connection position of the breeding map based on the position of the most recently selected breeding mark (the breeding mark associated with the selected breeding element) when the connection condition is satisfied. may decide.

The character training unit 114 trains the character based on the connected training map of the other character. For example, when a character's training map and another character's training map are connected, the selection unit 112 selects a training mark (a training element associated with the training mark) arranged on the training map of the connected other character. , and the character breeding unit 114 selects a breeding element associated with the selected breeding mark among the breeding marks (selectable breeding marks) arranged on the breeding map of the other connected character. You may raise the said character based on. Further, when the character training map and the other character training map are connected, the selection unit 112 selects the training marks arranged within a predetermined range based on the connection position of the connected other character training map. It may be selectable. Further, when the character training map and the training map of another character are connected, the character training unit 114 can perform training based on the training elements of the training mark selected before the time of connection in the training map of the other connected character. , the character may be trained.

The display control unit 110 may display a plurality of breeding maps on the same screen, and rearrange the breeding maps according to the presence or absence of connection. For example, the breeding maps may be rearranged so that the connected breeding maps are adjacent to each other on the screen. In addition, the display control unit 110 may display the breeding map on a different screen for each breeding map, and when the breeding maps are connected, the connected breeding maps may be displayed on the same screen.

The image generation unit 120 performs drawing processing based on the results of various processes performed by the processing unit 100, thereby generating game images (game images including characters in the game part and game images including a training map in the training part). It generates and outputs to the display unit 190 . The image generator 120 may generate an image (a so-called three-dimensional image) viewed from a virtual camera (given viewpoint) in the object space (game space).

The sound generation unit 130 performs sound processing based on the results of various processes performed by the processing unit 100 , generates game sounds such as BGM, sound effects, or voices, and outputs the generated game sounds to the sound output unit 192 .

When the game is started, the processing unit 100 transmits information for notifying that the game has started to the server 20. When the game is over, the processing unit 100 transmits game result information about the game result and various game parameters. to the server 20. The server 20 updates various data associated with each player based on the game result information transmitted from the game device (terminal 10).

Also, the game system of this embodiment may be configured as a server system. The server system can be composed of one or more servers (authentication server, game processing server, communication server, billing server, database server, etc.). In this case, the server system receives operation input (input to the input unit of the terminal) transmitted from one or more terminals (for example, smartphones, mobile phones, portable game machines, etc.) data), each unit (display control unit 110, selection unit 112, character breeding unit 114, breeding map connection unit 116) of the processing unit 100 performs processing to generate image generation data for generating an image. and transmits the generated data for image generation to each terminal. Here, the image generation data is data for displaying an image generated by the method of the present embodiment on each terminal. It may be data (object data, game processing result data, etc.). Also, the game system may be configured so that the processing of each unit of the processing unit 100 is distributed between the server and the terminal.

2. Method of this embodiment Next, the method of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The game system of this embodiment executes a game in which a plurality of characters operated by a player fights against enemy characters in the game part, and trains the plurality of characters using a training map for each character in the training part. is configured to run

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a game screen (game image) generated by the game system of this embodiment. The game screen GI is displayed on the display unit 190 (touch panel) of the terminal 10, and the player can perform an operation input by touching the touch panel with a contact medium such as a fingertip or a touch pen (touch operation).

As shown in FIG. 3, in the breeding part, the game screen GI includes a plurality of character icons 200 (200a to 200d) and a breeding map 21 associated with each character.
0 (210a-210d) is displayed. Here, four breeding maps 210a-210d associated with four characters "A"-"D" are displayed. A plurality of breeding marks 220 are arranged on the breeding map 210 . Here, four breeding marks 220a are arranged on the breeding map 210a of the character "A", four breeding marks 220b are arranged on the breeding map 210b of the character "B", and four breeding marks 220b are arranged on the breeding map 210c of the character "C". , four breeding marks 220c are arranged, and four breeding marks 220d are arranged on the breeding map 210d of the character "D". The four growing marks 220 are arranged in a line, and two adjacent growing marks 220 are connected via a line segment 230 .

Each breeding mark 220 is associated with a breeding element. For example, the first (highest) training mark 220a from the top of the training map 210a for the character "A" is associated with a training element for obtaining "recovery medicine A" (an example of a consumable item). The third training mark 220a is associated with a training element that increases "attack power" (an example of basic ability), and the third training mark 220a from the top is associated with "armor A" (an example of equipment). Training elements to be acquired are associated with each other, and the fourth (bottom-ranked) training mark 220a from the top is associated with a training element to acquire "Special Move A" (an example of a special ability). Also, the highest training mark 220b of the training map 210b for the character "B" is associated with a training element for obtaining "food" (an example of a consumable item). A training element that raises the "level" is associated, and the third training mark 220b from the top is associated with a training element that acquires "weapon A" (an example of equipment). is associated with a training element for acquiring "skill B" (an example of a special ability).

The player selects an icon 200 of an arbitrary character, and selects a training mark 220 placed on a training map 210 associated with the character in exchange for training consideration (consumption of training points). By activating the effect of the training element associated with the training mark 220, the selected character can be trained. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the icon 200a of the character "A" is selected, and the icon 200a is displayed with a thick frame. The player can select the training mark 220 of the highest rank on the training map 210 as a starting point toward the training marks of the lowest rank. In the example shown in FIG. 3, since there is no breeding mark 220a that has been selected in the breeding map 210a of character "A", the top breeding mark 220a is selectable, and the second to fourth breeding marks 220a are available. is not selectable.

When the player selects the highest training mark 220a, the training element "recovery medicine A" associated with the training mark 220a is activated, and the character "A" obtains the "recovery medicine A". Then, the second breeding mark 220a adjacent to the selected top breeding mark 220a becomes selectable. As shown in FIG. 4, the selected breeding mark 220 is highlighted in a display manner different from that of the unselected breeding mark, and here, the selected breeding mark 220a is displayed in dotted shading. Note that the character icon 200 may be displayed on the most recently selected breeding mark 220 among the selected breeding marks 220 . Subsequently, when the player selects the second training mark 220a, the training element "attack power UP" associated with the training mark 220a is activated, and the attack power of the character "A" increases by the amount corresponding to the training element. Rise. Then, the third training mark 220a (the training mark corresponding to the training element “armor A”) adjacent to the selected second training mark 220a becomes selectable.

Here, in the present embodiment, when the selection status of the breeding mark 220 in the breeding map 210 satisfies a given connection condition, the breeding map 210 associated with the character and the breeding map associated with the other character are displayed. 210 is connected, and the breeding mark 220 placed on the breeding map 210 of the other connected character becomes selectable.

For example, when the position of the breeding mark 220 selected most recently is at a predetermined position, it may be determined that the selection condition satisfies the connection condition. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the player selects the lowest breeding mark 220a on the breeding map 210a (reaches the fourth breeding mark). The map 210a and the breeding map 210b of the character "B" (another character) are connected, and the breeding mark 220b arranged on the breeding map 210b can be selected. Here, the lowest training mark 220a of the training map 210a is the connection source, and the second training mark 220b of the training map 210b is the connection destination. Since they are connected, the second breeding mark 220b, which is the connection destination, becomes selectable. When the player selects the second breeding mark 220b on the breeding map 210b, the breeding element "level up" associated with the breeding mark 220b is activated and the level of the character "A" increases. The highest training mark 220b (the training mark corresponding to the training element "food") and the third training mark 220b (the training mark corresponding to the training element "weapon A") adjacent to the selected second training mark 220b ) becomes selectable.

It should be noted that all breeding marks 220 arranged in the breeding map 210 of the connected other character may be selectable, or the connection position (connection destination position) of the breeding map 210 of the other connected character may be selected. may be selected only from breeding marks 220 that are arranged within a predetermined range. For example, only the training mark at the connection position (in the example of FIG. 5, the second training mark 220b of the training map 210b) may be selected, or the training marks after the connection position (in the example of FIG. 5, Only the 2nd to 4th breeding marks 220b) of the breeding map 210b) may be selected, or the breeding marks located before the connection position (in the example of FIG. 5, the 1st and 2nd breeding marks 220b of the breeding map 210b). Alternatively, only the breeding marks adjacent to the breeding mark at the connection position (in the example of FIG. 5, the first to third breeding marks 220b of the breeding map 210b) may be selected. In addition, the character may be trained based on the training elements of all the training marks before the connection position (the training elements of all the training marks before the connection position may be activated), or the training before the connection position may be performed. The character may be trained based on the training elements of the training mark selected before connection. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the breeding map 210a is connected with the third breeding mark 220b of the breeding map 210b as the connection destination, and at that point, the first and second breeding marks 220b of the breeding map 210b have been selected. In some cases, the character "A" may be trained by activating the training elements "food" and "level up" of the first and second training marks 220b. In addition, regardless of the connection position, the character may be trained based on the training elements of the training mark selected before the connection in the training map 210 of the other connected character. It should be noted that the training element of the training mark that has been selected in the training map of the other connected character is a training element that cannot be applied to the character (e.g., character-specific training elements such as "voice" and "illustration"). In that case, the nurturing element may not be activated, or a substitute (for example, in-game currency or another ability) may be given.

Also, it may be determined whether or not the selection condition satisfies the connection condition based on the content (training element) of the breeding mark 220 that was selected most recently (or in the past). For example, if the content of the training mark selected most recently has given content (associated with a predetermined training element), it may be determined that the selection status satisfies the connection condition, or the selected training mark may be selected. It may be determined that the selection condition satisfies the connection condition when the content of the breeding mark that was not present has the given content. Alternatively, it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied when breeding marks having predetermined contents are selected in a predetermined order. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the player selects "Defense Power Up", "Attack Power Up", "Skill A", and "Skill B" on a training map 210a (a training map in which training marks 220a are arranged in a tree). By selecting the breeding mark 220a in this order, it is determined that the connection condition is satisfied, and the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the breeding map 210b of the character "B" are connected.

Alternatively, it may be determined that the selection condition satisfies the connection condition when the number of breeding marks 220 that have been selected so far reaches a given number. In addition, if there are training elements that have negative effects or training elements that have no effect, the training marks corresponding to these training elements are excluded, and training marks corresponding to training elements with positive effects are removed. Only marks may be counted. Alternatively, it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied when the number of breeding marks (training elements) of a predetermined type selected reaches a given number. For example, when 10 training marks corresponding to training elements of the type "increase in basic ability" (for example, "attack power up" or "defense power up") are selected, it is determined that the connection condition is satisfied. good too. Further, when the ratio of the number of breeding marks of a predetermined type to the total number of breeding marks selected so far reaches a predetermined ratio, it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied, or a predetermined It may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied when the ratio of the number of breeding marks of the selected type to the total number of breeding marks of the type reaches a predetermined ratio. For example, if "60%" or more of the training marks corresponding to training elements of the type "acquisition of skills" (for example, "skill A" or "skill B") existing in the training map are selected, connection It may be determined that the conditions are met.

Further, when the number of breeding points accumulated in the character reaches a given number, it may be determined that the selection status of the character in the breeding map satisfies the connection condition. For example, it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied when the character's training points reach "100", and it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied when the character's training point reaches "0". good too.

In addition, it may be determined whether or not the selection status in a plurality of breeding maps 210 (a plurality of breeding maps corresponding to a plurality of characters) satisfies the connection condition. For example, when the position of the breeding mark 220a most recently selected in the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the position of the breeding mark 220b most recently selected in the breeding map 210b of the character "B" have a predetermined positional relationship. Alternatively, it may be determined that the selection conditions in the breeding map 210a and the breeding map 210b satisfy the connection condition. For example, if the position of the breeding mark selected most recently on the breeding map 210a is a predetermined position and the position of the breeding mark most recently selected on the breeding map 210b is a predetermined position, it is determined that the connection condition is satisfied. Alternatively, it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied when a breeding mark at a predetermined position has been selected on the breeding map 210a and a breeding mark at a predetermined position has been selected on the breeding map 210b. . Also, when the difference (distance) between the position of the breeding mark most recently selected on the breeding map 210a and the position of the breeding mark most recently selected on the breeding map 210b becomes a predetermined distance or more or a predetermined distance or less, It may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied. For example, when the n-th breeding mark is most recently selected on the breeding map 210a and the m-th breeding mark is most recently selected on the breeding map 210b, the absolute value of the difference between n and m is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. It may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied when the following conditions are satisfied. Note that the distance between the training marks (difference in the positions of the training marks) is not limited to the difference in the number of training marks, and may be anything as long as it represents the distance between the training marks. For example, the distance may be the length of the line segment when the breeding marks are connected by a line on the screen, or the length of the route on the breeding map may be the distance.

Also, the content of the breeding mark 220a most recently (or in the past) selected on the breeding map 210a and the content of the breeding mark 220b most recently (or in the past) selected on the breeding map 210b form a predetermined combination. In this case, it may be determined that the selection statuses in the breeding map 210a and the breeding map 210b satisfy the connection condition. For example, when a breeding mark corresponding to a predetermined type of breeding element is selected in the breeding map 210a and a breeding mark corresponding to that type of breeding element is selected in the breeding map 210b, it is determined that the connection condition is met. Alternatively, when the type of breeding element corresponding to the breeding mark selected on the breeding map 210a and the type of breeding element corresponding to the breeding mark selected on the breeding map 210b are in a predetermined combination, connection is made. It may be determined that the conditions are met. Further, it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied when the contents of the breeding marks not selected in the breeding map 210a and the contents of the breeding marks not selected in the breeding map 210b form a predetermined combination. Further, it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied when the order of selection of the breeding marks in the breeding map 210a and the order of selection of the breeding marks in the breeding map 210b have a predetermined relationship. For example, when breeding marks with predetermined contents are selected in a predetermined order on the breeding map 210a and breeding marks with predetermined contents are selected in a predetermined order on the breeding map 210b, it is determined that the connection condition is met. may

Further, when the number of breeding marks 220a selected in the breeding map 210a and the number of breeding marks 220b selected in the breeding map 210b have a predetermined relationship, the selection states in the breeding map 210a and the breeding map 210b are connected. It may be determined that the conditions are met. For example, the number of breeding marks selected in the breeding map 210a is a given number (eg, 10), and the number of breeding marks selected in the breeding map 210b is a given number (eg, 12). ), it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied, or both the number of breeding marks selected in the breeding map 210a and the number of breeding marks selected in the breeding map 210b are a given number (for example, , 10), it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied. Alternatively, it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied when the sum of the number of breeding marks selected in the breeding map 210a and the number of breeding marks selected in the breeding map 210b reaches a given number. .

Further, when the number of breeding points accumulated in the character "A" and the number of breeding points accumulated in the character "B" are in a predetermined relationship, the selection status in the breeding map 210a and the breeding map 210b satisfies the connection condition. For example, when both the training points of the character "A" and the training points of the character "B" are equal to or greater than or equal to or less than a predetermined number, it may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied, or the training of the character "A" may be determined. It may be determined that the connection condition is satisfied when the difference between the points and the breeding points of the character "B" is a predetermined number or more or a predetermined number or less.

Further, in the above example, when the selection condition in the breeding map 210a of character "A" satisfies the connection condition, the breeding map 210a of character "A" is connected to the breeding map 210 of another character (character "B"). However, when the selection condition in the breeding map 210a of character "A" satisfies the connection condition, the breeding map 210b of character "B" is connected to the breeding map 210 of another character (for example, character "C"). You may make it In addition, when the selection conditions in the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the breeding map 210b of the character "B" satisfy the connection condition, the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the breeding map 210b of the character "B" are changed. Alternatively, the training map 210b of the character "B" and the training map 210 of another character (for example, the character "C") may be connected, or the training map of the character "C" may be connected. 210c and the breeding map 210d of the character "D" may be connected.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the target character (connection target) to which the breeding map 210 is to be connected may be determined in advance for each character. In the example shown in FIG. 7, when the selection condition in the breeding map 210a of the character "A" satisfies the connection condition, the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the breeding map 210b of the character "B" are connected, When the selection condition in the breeding map 210b of the character "B" satisfies the connection condition, the breeding map 210b of the character "B" and the breeding map 210c of the character "C" are connected.

Also, the breeding map 210 to be connected may be determined according to the connection condition that is satisfied among the plurality of connection conditions. For example, the characters to be connected to the breeding map 210 may be determined in advance for each connection condition. For example, when the connection condition regarding the number of selected breeding marks 220 is satisfied, it is connected to the breeding map 210b of the character "B", and when the connection condition regarding the content of the selected breeding mark 220 is satisfied. may be connected to the breeding map 210c of the character "C".

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the character to which the breeding map 210 is to be connected may be determined in advance for each character and for each connection condition. In the example shown in FIG. 8, when the connection condition regarding the position of the selected breeding mark 220a is satisfied in the breeding map 210a of the character "A", the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the character "B" are connected. If the breeding map 210b is connected to the breeding map 210b of the character "A" and the connection condition regarding the content of the selected breeding mark 220a is satisfied in the breeding map 210a of the character "A", the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the character "C" is connected to the breeding map 210c of the character "B", and when the connection condition regarding the position of the selected breeding mark 220b is satisfied in the breeding map 210b of the character "B", the breeding map 210b of the character "B" and the character The breeding map 210c of "C" is connected. Further, for example, the character "A" may be connected only to the breeding map 210b of the character "B" regardless of which connection condition is satisfied.

Also, the character to be connected to the breeding map 210 may be selected by the player's operation. In addition, by satisfying a plurality of connection conditions, it may be connected to a plurality of breeding maps 210, or by satisfying only one connection condition, it may be connected to a plurality of breeding maps 210. good too. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the breeding map 210b of the character "B" is connected to the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the breeding map 210c of the character "C". Also, an upper limit may be set for the number of breeding maps 210 that can be connected to one breeding map 210 . In this case, when the number of breeding maps 210 connected to one breeding map 210 exceeds the upper limit due to the connection condition being satisfied, the number of breeding maps 210 connected to one breeding map 210 is exceeded by the player's operation. The training map 210 may be selected. Also, in a multiplayer game, the player's character breeding map 210 may be connected to the character breeding maps of other players.

Further, the connection position (connection source and/or connection destination) of the breeding map 210 may be determined in advance for each character. Also, the connection position of the breeding map 210 may be determined according to the connection condition that is satisfied among the plurality of connection conditions. For example, the connection position of the breeding map 210 may be determined in advance for each connection condition. Also, the more severe the connection condition that is satisfied (for example, if the connection condition that is satisfied is a connection condition related to the position of the training mark, the farther the position is from the start point, the more the connection condition that is satisfied is the training mark. If the connection condition is related to the number, the larger the number, the more advantageous the connection position for the player may be. For example, if only breeding marks located after the connection position can be selected, the stricter the connection conditions that are satisfied, the closer the connection destination breeding map 210 is to the starting point. When a character is trained based on the breeding elements of the breeding mark located before the connection position, the more severe the connection condition is satisfied, the farther the character is connected from the start point on the breeding map 210 of the connection destination. Also, the looser the connection condition that is satisfied (for example, if the connection condition that is satisfied is a connection condition related to the position of the breeding mark, the closer the position is from the start point, the more loose the connection condition is) If the connection condition is related to the number, the smaller the number, the more disadvantageous the connection position for the player.

Also, the connection position of the breeding map 210 may be determined based on the position of the breeding mark selected most recently when the connection condition is satisfied. For example, when the connection condition is satisfied in the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the breeding map 210a is connected to the breeding map 210b, the breeding mark selected most recently in the breeding map 210a is used as the connection source, and the most recently selected breeding mark in the breeding map 210b Both may be connected with the breeding mark selected as the connection destination. Also, the breeding maps 210 may be connected to each other by using breeding marks before and after the most recently selected breeding mark as a connection source or a connection destination. Also, instead of connecting the cultivating marks 220 to each other, the cultivating marks 220 and the line segments 230 (the line segments 230 between the adjacent cultivating marks 220) may be connected, or the line segments 230 may be connected to each other. good. Also, the connection position of the breeding map 210 may be selected by the player's operation.

Further, in the present embodiment, the connection of the breeding map 210 is canceled when a given connection cancellation condition is satisfied. For example, it may be determined whether or not the disconnection condition is satisfied according to the progress of the game in the game part. For example, when the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the breeding map 210b of the character "B" are connected, one or both of the character "A" and the character "B" become unable to fight in the game part. (For example, when the physical strength value becomes 0), the connection between the breeding map 210a and the breeding map 210b may be released. Further, when the degree of friendship between characters, which changes according to the actions in the game part, becomes less than a predetermined value, the connection between the training maps 210 of the characters may be canceled, or the game progress in the game part. The connection between the breeding maps 210 of the character may be released according to the change in the relationship between the characters that is automatically determined according to the character. Further, it may be determined whether or not the disconnection condition is satisfied according to the selection status of the breeding map 210 in the breeding part. For example, similar to the selection condition, it may be determined whether or not the disconnection condition is satisfied based on the position, content, number of selected training marks 220, or the number of training points. For example, when 10 training marks corresponding to the training element "attack power UP" are selected, it is determined that the connection condition is satisfied, and when 20 training marks corresponding to the training element are selected, the connection is terminated. It may be determined that the condition is satisfied. Further, when the selection status of a character different from the character satisfying the connection condition in the breeding map 210 satisfies the connection cancellation condition, the connection of the breeding map 210 may be canceled. Further, for example, when the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the breeding map 210b of the character "B" are connected, the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the breeding map 210c of the character "C" are connected. is newly determined, the connection between the breeding map 210a and the breeding map 210b may be released. Also, if a plurality of breeding maps 210 are connected to one breeding map 210, or if more than the upper limit number of breeding maps 210 are connected to one breeding map 210, the connection is released by the player's operation. You may enable it to select the breeding map 210 which does.

Further, when the connection of the training map 210 is canceled, the effect of the training element activated during the connection may be erased (returned to the state before the training element was activated). In this case, when connected to the same breeding map 210 again, the effect of the erased breeding element may be recovered (activated again). Also, when connected to the same breeding map 210 again, the breeding element to be recovered may be determined based on the connection position of the connection destination. Further, even if the connection of the training map 210 is canceled, the effect of the training element activated during the connection may not be erased.

Further, when the character training map 210 is connected to the training map 210 of another character, the content of the training mark in the training map 210 of the other character may be changed. Further, when the character training map 210 is connected to the training map 210 of another character, the training price necessary for selecting the training mark in the training map 210 of the character and/or the other character is changed. good too. Also, when the breeding maps 210 are connected to each other, a new breeding mark may be placed at the connection position, or a new breeding map may be generated from the connection position. In the example shown in FIG. 10, when the breeding map 210a of the character "A" and the breeding map 210b of the character "B" are connected, 3 characters are drawn on the line segment 230 connecting the breeding map 210a and the breeding map 210b. A new breeding map 210x on which one breeding mark 220x is arranged is generated. In this case, the player can select the breeding mark 220x placed on the breeding map 210x while the breeding map 210a and the breeding map 210b are connected. Note that when the connection between the breeding map 210a and the breeding map 210b is released, the breeding map 210x is deleted. Also, when the breeding maps 210 are connected to each other, a given game event (for example, a new game scenario) may occur in the game part. Also, the breeding maps 210 may be connected to each other in the breeding part according to the progress of the game, game parameters, and the degree of friendship and relationship between the characters in the game part.

When a plurality of breeding maps 210 are displayed on the same screen, the breeding maps 210 may be rearranged (sorted) according to the presence or absence of connection. For example, when breeding maps 210 are connected to each other, the connected breeding maps 210 may be rearranged so that they are adjacent to each other. In the example shown in FIG. 11, since the breeding map 210a of the character "A" is connected to the breeding map 210c of the character "C", the breeding maps 210a and 210c are rearranged so that they are adjacent to each other on the game screen GI. It is This makes it easier for the player to grasp the connection status of the breeding map 210 . Note that the connected breeding map 210 may be displayed in the center of the game screen GI. Also, the breeding maps 210 may be rearranged each time the character (breeding map 210) selected by the player is switched. Further, when the training map 210 is disconnected, the arrangement order of the training maps 210 may be returned to the state before connection, or the training map 210 whose connection has been disconnected may be selected by the player. The order of arrangement may be changed so as to keep it away from the breeding map 210 of the existing character. Also, the display mode of each breeding map 210 may be changed according to the presence or absence of connection. For example, the breeding maps 210 that are not connected (the breeding maps 210b and 210d in the example of FIG. 11) may be displayed translucent. In addition, in principle, only the training map 210 of the character selected by the player is displayed on the game screen GI, and when the training map 210 of the character is connected to the training map 210 of another character, the training map of the character is displayed. The map 210 and the breeding map 210 of the other character may be displayed on the game screen GI. In this case, when the connection is canceled, only the breeding map 210 of the character selected by the player may be displayed again on the game screen GI. This also makes it easier for the player to grasp the connection status of the breeding map 210 . It should be noted that the display control when a plurality of training maps 210 are displayed on the same screen is not limited to changing the arrangement order of the training maps 210, and the display is such that the connected training maps 210 can be easily grasped. Any control is acceptable. For example, before connection, the breeding maps 210 are displayed side by side on the same plane, but after being connected, the connected breeding maps 210 may be three-dimensionally displayed side by side in the height direction.

According to this embodiment, when the selection status in one or a plurality of breeding maps 210 satisfies the connection condition, the character breeding map 210 and the other character breeding map 210 are connected, and the connected other character breeding map 210 is connected. A training mark 220 placed on a character training map 210
can be selected, and the character is trained based on the training element corresponding to the selected training mark 220, the connection between the character and the other character is expressed, so the interest in training the character can enhance sexuality. In addition, since the breeding map 210 to be connected and the connection position are determined according to the position of the training mark 220 selected most recently or according to the connection condition that is satisfied among a plurality of connection conditions, when training a character, It is possible to further enhance the interest of.

3. Processing Next, an example of processing (processing in the breeding part) of the game system (terminal 10) of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the display control unit 110 displays the breeding map 210 associated with each of the plurality of characters on the game screen GI (step S10). Next, the selection unit 112 determines whether or not there is an operation input for selecting a character (step S11). Some or all breeding marks 220 arranged on the map 210 are made selectable (step S12).

Next, the selection unit 112 determines whether or not there is an operation input for selecting one of the selectable breeding marks 220 (step S13). When there is the operation input (Y in step S13), the character breeding unit 114 breeds the character (the character selected in step S11) based on the breeding elements associated with the selected breeding mark 220. It is grown (step S14).

Next, the breeding map connection unit 116 refers to the history of selection states in the breeding map 210 to determine whether the selection state satisfies the connection condition (step S15), and if the connection condition is satisfied (step S15 In Y), the training map 210 to be connected and the connection position are determined according to the connection conditions and the like (step S16), and the training map 210 is connected according to the determination (step S17). Next, the selection unit 112 enables selection of some or all of the breeding marks 220 arranged on the connected (connected) breeding map 210 (step S18).

Next, the breeding map connection unit 116 determines whether or not the connection cancellation condition is satisfied (step S19). Release (step S20). Next, the selection unit 112 disables the selection of the breeding mark 220 placed on the connected (connected) breeding map 210 (step S21).

Next, the processing unit 100 determines whether or not to continue the processing of the growing part (step S22), and if the processing is to be continued (Y in step S22), the process proceeds to step S11.
