Then, the program and data may be supplied to the game terminal 10 or the server 30 via the information storage medium.

[2. Game Overview]
In the game system S, a game that improves the performance of the first object is executed. The game is executed based on the second object selected from among the plurality of second objects. Here, before explaining the specific content of the game, the meaning of each term such as object will be explained.

An object is, for example, a target that can be used in a game. The object may mean all of the objects prepared in the game, or may mean only those objects that are given to the user (those that the user owns). For example, a character, a card, an item, or the like corresponds to an example of an "object."

The first object is, for example, an object whose purpose is to improve performance. The performance is, for example, the ability (skill) of the first object. Further, for example, performance is a parameter that affects the operation result of the first object. For example, the first object is the main character in the game. Parameters related to performance are set in the first object. The performance-related parameters may be, for example, parameters that indicate the performance itself (parameters that directly indicate the performance), or parameters that are used (consumed) to improve the performance. For example, a parameter indicating the performance itself is a parameter indicating high or low performance, or a parameter indicating the presence or absence of special performance.

The second object is an object different from the first object; for example, it may be an object that cooperates with the first object (an object of the same team), or an object that competes with the first object (an object of the opposing team). ). For example, at least one of the second objects owned by the user is set as a target for use. Parameters are set in the second object. The parameter is a parameter that affects performance improvement of the first object.

The object to be used is, for example, an object used in a game. For example, the object to be used is an object that is referenced during execution of the game. For example, when a process for improving the performance of the first object is executed, the second object whose parameters are referenced corresponds to the object to be used.

Hereinafter, the specific contents of the game will be explained based on the meanings of each of the terms explained above. In this embodiment, a character will be described as an example of an object. A main character, which will be described later, is an example of a first object, and an event character, which will be described later, is an example of a second object. Therefore, in the following description, the portion where "main character character" is written can be replaced with "first object", and the portion where "event character" is written can be replaced with "second object".

In this embodiment, a case where a game for training a character who is a baseball player is executed will be described as an example. The game of this embodiment includes multiple parts, for example, a success part in which the user develops a character, a stadium part in which the user team and the opponent team compete, and a reward when the user clears the mission. Including a challenge part to get the. For example, a character whose development has been completed in the success part can be allowed to participate in a match in the stadium part. Hereinafter, the character being trained in the success part will be referred to as the main character, and the character whose training has been completed and can now participate in the match in the stadium part will be referred to as the original character.

In this embodiment, processing in the success part will mainly be explained. In the success part, the user develops the main character while progressing through the scenario. A scenario is, for example, a game story that unfolds as the game progresses, and is a fictional event that occurs in the world within the game. In this embodiment, as an example of a scenario, a game story will be described in which the main character, who belongs to a high school baseball club, starts in the summer of his second year of high school until he becomes a professional baseball player. There may be only one scenario, but multiple types may be prepared, and the abilities that are easy to develop may differ for each scenario. Users can select their favorite scenario.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of the success part. As shown in Figure 2, in the success part, the main part is executed after the pre-part is executed, and when the scenario progresses to the end, the development of the main character is completed, and it is registered as an original character and can be used in the stadium part. Become. In the pre-part, information necessary for the main part is registered and set. For example, in the pre-part, the name, defensive position, dominant arm, etc. are registered as basic information of the main character. For example, in the pre-part, event deck settings and game item selection are performed.

The event deck is a character deck for causing an event to occur during the main part. A deck is, for example, a group made up of a predetermined number of characters used in a game among a plurality of characters owned by a user. Hereinafter, the characters set in the event deck will be referred to as event characters. An event is something that occurs in a game, such as a conversation between characters. The event may be unrelated to the development of the main character, or may be something that affects the development of the main character. When an event affects training, for example, it may be not only an event that is advantageous to training, but also an event that is disadvantageous to training. In this embodiment, the events that occur during the main part are not fixed, and various events occur depending on one or more event characters that the user has incorporated into the event deck.

The event character may be provided when the game is first started or during a tutorial, may be provided by lottery or as a reward, or may be provided as a present from another user. Note that the state in which the given event character is associated with user identification information such as a user ID that identifies the user in the game is said to be owned by the user. For example, the user can arbitrarily incorporate up to a predetermined number of event characters from among the event characters that the user owns into the event deck. In the pre-part, an event deck setting image for setting an event character to be incorporated into the event deck is displayed.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an event deck setting image. As shown in FIG. 3, the event deck setting image G100 includes an event deck setting area A110. The name of the event deck is displayed in the event deck setting area A110, and the name of the event deck can be changed.

Further, the event deck setting area A110 is provided with a setting frame display area A111 for setting event characters that will be members of the event deck. Within the setting frame display area A111, as many event characters as can be incorporated into the event deck can be displayed. For example, the setting frame display area A111 includes setting frames A1111 to A1115 for selecting event characters to be incorporated into the event deck from among the event characters owned by the user, and event characters owned by other users. A setting frame A1116 for selecting an event character to be incorporated into the event deck as a helper is displayed. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated into an event deck from among the event characters owned by the user is set to "5", and The upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated into the event deck as helpers is set to "1".

For example, when the user selects any of the setting frames A1111 to A1115, the user can select an event character to be incorporated into the event deck from a list of event characters owned by the user. For example, when the user selects the setting frame A1116, the user can select an event character to be incorporated into the event deck as a helper from a list of event characters owned by other users. In addition, for example, an event deck may be automatically formed from event characters owned by the user and event characters owned by other users.

In this embodiment, the logical map used in the main part is set based on the event deck. The logical map is used to advantageously advance the development of the main character in the main part, and is a map on which panels that produce various effects are arranged. An effect is an effect that gives an advantage to the performance of the main character. For example, it may be an increase in a parameter that indicates performance, or it may be an effect that increases a parameter that is necessary to increase a parameter that indicates performance. It may be possible to increase the probability of increasing these parameters. When the logical map confirmation button B120 in the event deck setting area A110 is selected, a logical map confirmation image for confirming the logical map corresponding to the event deck being set is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a logical map confirmation image, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the logical map. As shown in FIG. 4, the logical map confirmation image G200 includes a logical point display area A210. In the logical point display area A210, the current value A2101 and the maximum value A2102 of the logical point are displayed. The maximum value is an upper limit value, and is the maximum amount of logical points held. The logical points are points necessary to generate the effect shown by each panel PN in the logical map LM. The effect shown by each panel PN is generated by consuming logical points. That is, reducing the logical points held by the user is a condition for activating the effect.

Furthermore, the logical map confirmation image G200 includes a logical map display area A220. A logical map LM is displayed in the logical map display area A220. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the logical map LM of this embodiment, panels PN can be arranged in a grid pattern, and nine panels PN can be arranged vertically and horizontally (81 panels PN in total). It becomes. That is, for example, each of the plurality of panels PN is arranged so that the panel PN and at least one other panel PN are adjacent to each other (or are connected to each other). In the examples of FIGS. 4 and 5, the panel PN is shown by a solid line. The area AR surrounded by the dotted line is an area where panel PN can be placed, and as described later, panel PN may be placed in the future.

In addition, in the drawing, the symbol "PN" is attached inside the panel, and the symbol "AR" is attached inside the area, but these symbols are not displayed on the game screen. . In addition, in this embodiment, a two-digit number is shown after the symbol "PN" written in each panel, the first digit of the number indicates the X coordinate value, and the second digit of the number indicates the Y coordinate value. It shows the value. Therefore, for example, panel PN41 indicates a panel in which the X coordinate value is 4 and the Y coordinate value is 1. Similarly, a two-digit number is shown after the symbol "AR" written in each area, the first digit of the number indicates the X coordinate value, and the second digit of the number indicates the Y coordinate value. There is. Therefore, for example, the area AR11 indicates an area where the X coordinate value is 1 and the Y coordinate value is 1. In this embodiment, when there is no need to distinguish between individual panels, the symbol "PN" is added and the numerical value is omitted, and when there is no need to distinguish between the individual areas, the symbol "AR" is appended and the numerical value is omitted. Omitted.

Furthermore, the number of panels PN that can be arranged on the logical map LM may be arbitrary, and may be greater or less than 81. Further, in the logical map LM, the panels PN do not necessarily have to be arranged in a grid pattern, and the panels PN may be arranged irregularly. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which two-dimensional coordinate axes (X-axis-Y-axis) are set in the logical map LM as shown in FIG. 5, and the position of each panel PN is specified by the two-dimensional coordinates.

For example, each panel PN in the logical map LM shows the content of the effect associated with the panel PN. Note that in FIG. 4, the content of the effect is shown by a character string, but the content of the effect may be shown by an icon or by a combination of a character string and an icon. For example, the effects associated with each panel PN include an effect that increases the main character's experience points, an effect that increases the main character's ability parameters, an effect that increases the main character's practice level, and a main character's physical strength or recovery power. , an effect that increases other characters' evaluation of the main character, an effect that increases the maximum value or amount of logical points obtained, an effect that reduces the probability of injury of the main character, and an effect that increases the probability of injury for the main character. There are effects that increase the experience points you get. Details of experience points, ability parameters, practice level, physical strength, recovery ability, evaluation, practice, etc. will be described later.

For example, when any panel PN in the logical map LM is selected, details of the panel PN are displayed in the panel details display area A230. As shown in FIG. 4, the panel details display area A230 displays the contents of the effect associated with the selected panel PN and the logical points necessary to generate the effect (select the panel PN). , is displayed. FIG. 4 shows a display example when panel PN54 (the panel displaying "muscle strength" with an X coordinate value of 5 and a Y coordinate value of 4) is selected, and the panel details display area A230 includes: As the contents of the effect, the amount of increase in muscle strength points and the logical points required to generate the effect are displayed.

Note that there may be panels PN to which no effects are associated within the logical map LM. For example, panel PN55 (the panel in the center of the logical map LM on which a face is drawn) is set as the start position panel PN55 that defines the start position, and is not associated with any particular effect.

In this embodiment, among the panels PN arranged in the logical map LM, the panels PN45, PN54, PN56, and PN65 on the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the start position panel PN55, or the panels PN on the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the selected panel PN are selected. be able to. Therefore, in a state where no panel PN has been selected yet, the user can select any of the panels PN45, PN54, PN56, and PN65 above, below, and to the left and right of the start position panel PN55. After that, the user can select the panels PN45, PN54, PN56, and PN65 above, below, and to the left of the starting position, or the panels PN above, below, and to the left of the already selected panel. In this way, by starting from the start position panel PN55 and selecting the panels PN one by one, the user can generate effects advantageous to the development of the main character.

Note that in the logical map LM, there is a panel PN whose effect is randomly determined (for example, panel PN52 where the X coordinate value is 5 and the Y coordinate value is 2, and is displayed as "random"). . For this panel PN, when any panel PN on the top, bottom, left, or right of the panel PN is selected, the effect associated with the panel PN among a plurality of effects is randomly determined. Furthermore, the panel PN in the logical map LM may have a stronger effect as it is farther away from the start position panel PN55. When the effect becomes stronger, it means that the extent to which it is advantageous for the development of the main character becomes larger, and for example, the amount of increase in experience points or the amount of increase in ability parameters becomes larger.

As described above, in this embodiment, the logical map confirmation image G200 allows the user to confirm the logical map LM before starting the main part. Therefore, the user can try out a number of settings for the event deck in order to obtain a logical map LM that matches the main character's development policy.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing how the logical map LM is set in response to changing the event deck. As shown in FIG. 6, when the user changes the event deck, a corresponding logical map LM is set. The details of the relationship between the event deck and the logical map LM will be described later, but when the event deck changes, the number of panels PN, the arrangement positions of the panels PN, and the effects of each panel PN change. When the user sets the event deck to a desired logical map LM, selects the next button B130, and selects a game item to be used in the main part, the main part is started.

In the scenario of the main part, event characters incorporated in the event deck appear. The event character may appear as a teammate or manager of the main character. Therefore, the event character owned by the user becomes a character by being incorporated into the event deck. Note that the character incorporated in the event deck may appear, for example, as a player of a rival team. Further, unique characters (for example, a director, a scout, a manager, a teammate, etc.) may be set in advance as characters in the scenario. Hereinafter, this character will be referred to as a scenario-specific character.

As shown in Figure 2, the main part includes multiple sections. A section is a rough period within the game, for example, corresponds to a quarter or a season. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the main part is divided into four sections in chronological order. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, each section includes a plurality of turns, for example, 12 turns. A turn is a detailed period in the game, and corresponds to, for example, one day, one week, or one month.

For example, the user can instruct the main character's actions on a turn-by-turn basis. Therefore, a turn can be said to be a unit of selection for the actions of the main character. For example, if one turn corresponds to one week in the game, the virtual time in the game advances one week each time one turn ends. Note that the number of turns included in a section may differ from section to section. In the main part, when each turn comes, a main image for selecting an option indicating the action of the main character is displayed on the display unit 15.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the main image in the main part. As shown in FIG. 7, the progress of the scenario is displayed in the upper area A310 of the main image G300. For example, the upper area A310 displays information regarding the current section, the number of turns remaining until the current section ends, and the date and time in the game. The upper area A310 includes a gauge area A311 that indicates the main character's physical strength parameters. For example, the physical strength parameter is a parameter necessary for the main character to practice, and decreases when the main character practices, and increases when the main character rests. Note that the lower area A320 of the main image G300 may display buttons for displaying the log of the main part and for automatically sending, skipping, and omitting messages.

Main image G300 also includes a main character ability area A330. The main character ability area A330 displays various ability parameters of the main character. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the main character's ability parameters as a batter are shown, such as a trajectory parameter, a meat parameter, a power parameter, a running power parameter, a shoulder strength parameter, and a fielding power parameter. The trajectory parameter indicates how high the ball shot by the main character will fly. The meet parameter indicates the meet ability of the main character. The power parameter indicates the power of the main character. The running power parameter indicates the speed of the main character's legs. The shoulder strength parameter indicates the speed of the main character's throwing ball. The defense power parameter indicates the defense skill of the main character.

Furthermore, main image G300 includes a command area A340. Options P3401 to P3407 indicating the actions of the main character are displayed in the command area A340. When the user selects option P3401, the main character takes a break from practice and the physical strength parameter increases. When the user selects option P3402, a transition is made to a practice image to be described later, in which the main character practices. When the user selects the option P3403, the screen transitions to a logical map selection image to be described later, and effects associated with each panel PN in the logical map LM can be generated. When the user selects option P3404, the ability parameters of the main character can be improved by consuming experience points, which will be described later. When the user selects option P3405, the main character goes to the hospital and is cured of his injury or illness. When the user selects option P3406, the main character plays and the motivation parameter that affects the amount of experience points acquired increases. When the user selects option P3407, the main character goes on a date and the motivation parameter increases. Note that the main image G300 also displays a logical point display area A350 for displaying the current value A3501 and maximum value A3502 of the logical point.

As described above, each time a turn comes, the user selects one of the options P3401 to P3407 from the main image G300. Although option P3406 or P3407 may be selected and experience points may be acquired in an event where the main character plays or goes on a date, basically experience points are obtained when option P3402 is selected and practiced. . For example, when the user selects option P3402, the screen switches to a practice image for selecting a practice item.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a practice image. As shown in FIG. 8, upper area A410 of practice image G400 may be similar to upper area A310 of main image G300. Practice image G400 also includes experience point area A420. The current experience points of the main character are displayed in the experience point area A420. Experience points are parameters for developing the main character, and in this embodiment, five types of experience points are set: muscle strength points, agility points, skill points, breaking ball points, and mental points. Experience points increase when the main character practices or when an event occurs.

The practice image G400 also includes a command area A430. A plurality of options P4301 to P4306 each corresponding to a plurality of practice items are displayed in the command area A430. The practice items can also be called practice contents or training methods. In this embodiment, the type of experience points to be increased and the amount of increase thereof are determined for each practice item. Furthermore, a level is set for each practice item, and increases when the number of times the practice has been performed reaches a predetermined number. The higher the level of the practice item, the greater the increase in experience points.

For example, when the user selects option P4301, the main character performs batting practice, and muscle strength points, skill points, and mental points increase. For example, when the user selects option P4302, the main character exercises muscle strength and increases muscle strength points and mental points. For example, when the user selects option P4303, base running practice is performed for the main character, and muscle strength points and agility points are increased. Further, for example, when the user selects option P4304, the main character exercises shoulder strength, and muscle strength points, agility points, and skill points increase. For example, when the user selects option P4305, the main character performs defense practice, and the agility points, skill points, and spirit points increase. For example, when the user selects option P4306, the main character performs mental practice, and the technical points and mental points increase.

In this embodiment, the user selects any one of the options P4301 to P4306 twice in a row in order to have the main character practice. For example, if the user wants to have the main character practice base running, first, the user selects option P4303. In this case, option P4303 is temporarily selected, and a cursor C4307 is displayed pointing to option P4303. Above option P4303, there is a probability display area A4308 for displaying the probability of getting injured during base running practice, and below option P4303, the amount of logical points earned if base running practice is successful is displayed. There is an acquisition amount display area A4309 for. Note that the amount of logical points acquired may be set with an upper limit depending on the practice item, or a bonus may be generated depending on the event character.

The probability of getting injured is determined, for example, based on the physical strength parameter of the main character, and the smaller the physical strength parameter, the higher the probability of getting injured. In addition, the amount of logical points acquired is determined based on, for example, a character associated with a temporarily selected practice item (a character displayed in character area A440, which will be described later). The more characters you have, the higher the price. Note that experience points that increase when the temporarily selected practice item (base running practice in FIG. 8) is executed may be displayed near the experience point area A420.

The practice image G400 also includes a character area A440. In this embodiment, the event character incorporated in the event deck and the scenario-specific character are associated with each practice item, and characters other than the main character can also practice one of them or watch the practice. be done. For example, in the character area A440, a character associated with the provisionally selected practice item is displayed. Note that the character associated with each practice item may be fixed, but in this embodiment, it changes every turn.

In the example shown in FIG. 8, since base running practice is temporarily selected, the character associated with base running practice is displayed in the character area A440. The character area A440 includes a gauge area A4401. Gauge area A4401 shows the character's evaluation of the main character. For example, when the main character practices being associated with an event character or a scenario-specific character, the evaluation increases. For example, as the evaluation of an event character becomes higher, events may occur more easily, or special training may be performed that increases the number of experience points.

In addition, the event character is associated with a special practice, and if the main character practices together when the event character practices the special practice, the increase in experience points will be greater than in the normal case. Good too. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 8, the specialty practice of the event character (Yabe) associated with base running practice is base running practice, and if the main character practices base running in this state, he will earn more experience points than usual. The amount of increase will be large. However, the event character is not necessarily associated with the same practice item as his/her own specialty practice, and may be associated with a different practice item from his/her specialty practice.

The practice image G400 also includes a logical point display area A450. In the logical point display area A450, the current value A4501 and the maximum value A4502 of the logical point are displayed. Furthermore, the logical point display area A450 includes a logical map button B4503. The logical map button B4503 is a button for displaying a logical map selection image (FIG. 10), which will be described later.

When one of the practice items is tentatively selected and the practice item is confirmed as the practice item to be performed by the main character, the main character practices and a practice result image showing the practice result is displayed on the display unit 15. be done.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a practice result image. As shown in FIG. 9, upper area A510 and lower area A520 of practice result image G500 are similar to upper area A310 and lower area A320 of main image G300.

Practice result image G500 includes a text area A530. In the text area A530, text indicating the main character's practice results is displayed. That is, text indicating changes in various parameters due to the main character practicing is displayed in the text area A530. In the example in Figure 9, as the main character practiced base running, his strength points increased by 4 points, his agility points increased by 15 points, and his physical strength parameters decreased by 25 points, which were allocated to base running practice. It is shown that the evaluation of the event character (Yabe) for the main character has increased by 7 points, and the logical points held by the user (current value of logical points) have increased by 3 points.

Further, in each turn of the main part, an event related to the event character also occurs based on predetermined probability information. For example, an event occurs in which the main character has a conversation with an event character or performs special training with the event character. When an event occurs, experience points increase or physical strength increases.

As described above, the user can earn experience points and logical points by having the main character practice. As described above, the user can generate the effect associated with the panel PN in the logical map LM by consuming the acquired logical points. For example, when option P3403 in main image G300 is selected, a logical map selection image for selecting panel PN in logical map LM is displayed on display unit 15.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a logical map selection image. The overall layout of logical map selection image G600 is similar to logical map confirmation image G200 shown in FIG. 4, and logical point display area A610, logical map display area A620, and panel detail display area A630 each display logical points. This area is similar to area A210, logical map display area A220, and panel detail display area A230. However, while the logical map confirmation image G200 is an image for checking the logical map LM before starting the main part, the logical map selection image G600 is an image for checking the logical map LM before starting the main part. They differ in that they are images for generating associated effects.

For example, in the logical map selection image G600, panels PN that can be selected by the user are identifiably displayed. In the example of FIG. 10, panels PN that can be selected by the user are shown without halftone dots, and panels PN that cannot be selected by the user are shown with halftone dots. In the state of FIG. 10, the user can select panels PN45, PN54, PN56, and PN65 on the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the start position panel PN55. That is, panels PN other than the panels PN45, PN54, PN56, and PN65 on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the start position panel PN55 cannot be selected at this time, and will be selected in the future by selecting the panels PN one by one. You will be able to do this.

When the user selects a panel PN, the effect and point consumption associated with the panel PN are displayed in the panel details display area A630. FIG. 10 shows a display example when panel PN54 (the panel displaying "muscle strength" with an X coordinate value of 5 and a Y coordinate value of 4) is selected, and the panel details display area A630 includes: As the contents of the effect, the amount of increase in muscle strength points and the logical points required to generate the effect are displayed.

If the logical points held by the user are equal to or greater than the consumption amount displayed in the panel details display area A630, an acquisition button B631 for selecting a panel PN is displayed in a selectable state. When the user selects the acquisition button B631, the currently selected panel PN can be selected to generate an effect. For example, in the example of FIG. 10, when the user selects the acquisition button B631, an effect of increasing muscle strength points occurs, and the muscle strength points of the main character increase by a predetermined value.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a logical map selection image G600 after the user selects panel PN54. The example in FIG. 11 shows a case where panel PN54 (the panel displaying "muscle strength" with an X coordinate value of 5 and a Y coordinate value of 4) located above the start position panel PN55 is selected. The logical map LM makes it possible to identify which panel PN is selected, and in FIG. 11, the panel PN selected by the user is indicated by diagonal lines. Further, as shown in the logical point display area A610, the logical points held by the user have decreased by 10 points necessary for selecting panel PN.

As mentioned earlier, the panels PN above, below, left and right of the selected panel PN can be selected, so the panel PN54 selected by the user (displayed as "Strength" with an X coordinate value of 5 and a Y coordinate value of 4) Panels PN44, PN53, and PN64 on the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the panel) become selectable. In other words, the panels PN around the panel PN selected by the user become selectable. For example, a panel PN within a predetermined distance from the panel PN selected by the user becomes selectable. Further, for example, a panel PN adjacent to the panel PN selected by the user becomes selectable. For example, a panel PN connected to the panel PN selected by the user becomes selectable.

In addition, effects that increase the main character's ability parameters, effects that increase the main character's practice level, effects that increase the main character's physical strength or recovery power, effects that increase other characters' evaluations of the main character, or logical Similarly, for a panel PN associated with an effect of increasing the maximum value or acquisition amount of points, when the panel PN is selected, the effect can be generated by consuming logical points.

Furthermore, some of the panels PN are associated with effects that occur when the main character practices, rather than effects that occur immediately. For example, there is an effect of increasing the experience points acquired during practice, or an effect of reducing the probability of getting injured to 0%. In this embodiment, a case will be explained in which these effects are effective only in the turn in which the panel PN is selected, but it is sufficient that the effects are effective within a predetermined period, and they are not effective within a predetermined turn after the next one. Good too.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a practice image G400 when an effect of increasing the experience points acquired during base running practice occurs. As shown in FIG. 12, the option P4303 for base running practice is displayed in a display format different from other options (diagonal lines in FIG. 12), and it is notified that the effect will occur when the main character practices base running. . Furthermore, the experience point area A420 indicates that a bonus will be generated for the experience points acquired when the practice item is executed. For example, the main character usually earns 15 agility points when practicing base running, but in this base running practice, due to the effect of the panel PN selected on the logical map LM, a bonus of 20 points is obtained. This occurrence is shown in the experience point area A420.

Note that the effect that the probability of getting injured is 0% may be similarly notified in the practice image G400. For example, the practice image G400 may be displayed so that the probability of injury is 0% even though the main character's physical strength parameter is low.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, a new panel PN can be added to an empty space in the logical map LM while the main part is being played. For example, an event to add a new panel PN randomly occurs during the main part.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing how the panel PN is added. In the example of FIG. 13, the position where the panel PN can be added is shown by a frame without halftone dots, and a character string "Addable" is shown inside the frame. As shown in FIG. 13, in this embodiment, a new panel PN can be added at a position one square different from the panels PN45, PN54, PN56, and PN65 connected to the start position panel PN55. By adding a new panel PN, the user can connect a panel PN that was not connected to the start position panel PN55 through another panel PN with the start position panel PN55, or connect a panel far from the start position panel PN55. It is also possible to enable a shortcut to the PN.

For example, panel PN12 (the panel displayed as "Shoulder Boost" with an X coordinate value of 1 and a Y coordinate value of 2) is not connected to the start position panel PN55 via another panel PN, so panel PN cannot be selected even if you continue to select it, but in the state of FIG. 13, a new panel PN is added at a position (area AR13) where the X coordinate value is 1 and the Y coordinate value is 3. Since the panel PN12 of "Shoulder Training Boost" is connected to the start position panel PN55, it becomes selectable. The newly added panel PN may be associated with a randomly selected effect or an effect selected by the user.

As described above, the game system S of this embodiment has a configuration that can improve the interest of training in the game by mainly setting the logical map LM based on the event deck set by the user. It has become. Hereinafter, details of the configuration will be explained.

[3. Functions realized in game system]
FIG. 14 is a functional block diagram showing functions related to the present invention among the functions realized by the game system S. Here, the functions realized by the server 30 and the functions realized by the game terminal 10 will be explained in order.

[3-1. Functions realized on the server]
As shown in FIG. 14, a database storage unit 300 is implemented in the server 30. The database storage unit 300 is realized mainly by the storage unit 32. The database storage unit 300 comprehensively manages data related to the game and stores data necessary for each user to play the game. Here, an event character database DB1, an event deck database DB2, and a game situation database DB3 will be described as examples of data stored in the database storage section 300.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of data storage in the event character database DB1. As shown in FIG. 15, the event character database DB1 is a database regarding event characters owned by each user, and for example, user identification information and event character data DT1 are associated with each other. The user identification information is, for example, information for uniquely identifying a user. Here, a user ID will be described as an example of user identification information, but a user name, email address, etc. may also correspond to an example of user identification information.

Event character data DT1 indicates basic information about event characters held by the user. For example, the event character data DT1 stores the event character's name, rarity, attribute, position, specialty practice, event details, bonus, ability parameters, etc. in association with the event character ID that uniquely identifies the event character. Ru.

The attribute is, for example, the role or type of the event character, and here, it is indicated whether the character is a player or a manager. The contents of the event may include the lines of the main character and the event character when the event occurs, and the type and amount of change in experience points that change depending on the event. The bonus may include an experience point bonus when practicing with the event character. The event character data DT1 is updated when the user obtains a new event character.

FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of data storage in the event deck database DB2. As shown in FIG. 16, the event deck database DB2 is a database regarding event decks set by each user, and for example, user identification information and event deck data DT2 are associated.

Event deck data DT2 indicates event characters incorporated in the event deck. For example, the event deck data DT2 stores the event character ID of the event character incorporated in the event deck in association with the event deck ID that uniquely identifies the event deck. For example, a user can register a plurality of event decks, and the event character ID of the incorporated event character is stored for each event deck.

Note that the sixth event character incorporated into each user's event deck is an event character of another user incorporated as a helper, so for example, the user ID of the other user may be stored. . For example, if an ID that uniquely identifies the event character within the entire game system S is issued each time an event character is given to a user, the event deck data DT2 may contain the ID. It may also be stored. The event deck data DT2 is updated when the user performs an operation to edit the event deck.

FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of data storage in the game situation database DB3. As shown in FIG. 17, the game situation database DB3 is a database regarding the game situation of each user, and for example, user identification information and game situation data DT3 are associated with each other.

The game situation data DT3 is data indicating the situation of the success part being executed. For example, the game situation data DT3 includes the scenario ID that uniquely identifies the scenario, the current section, the current turn, the main character's basic information, the current experience points, the current ability parameters, special abilities, and the event deck in use. Event deck ID, current evaluation of event characters and scenario-specific characters, current value and maximum value of logical points, logical map information, etc. are stored.

Logical map information is an example of effect data according to the present invention. The logical map information stores, for example, the position of the panel PN, the contents of the effect, the consumed logical points, and the selection status of the panel PN. The position of panel PN is the arrangement position (display position) of panel PN in logical map LM, and for example, although it is indicated by two-dimensional coordinates in this embodiment, when logical map LM is expressed in three-dimensional space, may be expressed in three-dimensional coordinates. The selection status of the panel PN is information indicating whether the panel PN has been selected, and can also be said to be information indicating whether the effect associated with the panel PN has occurred.

Note that the data stored in the database storage unit 300 is not limited to the above example. The database storage unit 300 may store data necessary for the game. For example, the database storage unit 300 may store a master database of event characters. Further, for example, the database storage unit 300 may store image data of an image to be displayed on the game terminal 10.

[3-2. Functions realized on game terminals]
As shown in FIG. 14, the game terminal 10 includes a data storage section 100, a target selection operation reception section 101, a setting section 102, a display control section 103, an effect selection operation reception section 104, an effect generation section 105, and a processing execution section. 106 and a maximum value changing unit 107 are realized.

[3-2-1. Data storage unit]
The data storage unit 100 is mainly realized by the storage unit 12. The data storage unit 100 stores data necessary for executing the game. Here, event character data DT1, event deck data DT2, and game situation data DT3 will be described as examples of data stored in the data storage unit 100.

The data formats of event character data DT1, event deck data DT2, and game situation data DT3 are similar to those stored in database storage section 300 of server 30. However, since the data storage unit 100 does not need to store data other than the user of the game terminal 10, the user identification of the user of the game terminal 10 is selected from among the event character database DB1, the event deck database DB2, and the game situation database DB3. Event character data DT1, event deck data DT2, and game situation data DT3 associated with the information are stored.

For example, between the game terminal 10 and the server 30, the event character data DT1, event deck data DT2, and game situation data DT3 are consistent with the event character database DB1, event deck database DB2, and game situation database DB3. has been taken. For example, when the game terminal 10 updates the event character data DT1, the game terminal 10 transmits the updated event character data DT1 to the server 30 together with the user identification information. Note that it is assumed that the user identification information is stored in the data storage unit 100. The server 30 associates the received user identification information with the received event character data DT1 and stores them in the event character database DB1.

On the other hand, when the server 30 updates the event character data DT1, the server 30 transmits the event character data DT1 to the game terminal 10 indicated by the user identification information associated with the event character data DT1. The game terminal 10 records the received event character data DT1 in the data storage section 100. Similarly, the event deck data DT2 and the game situation data DT3 are also made consistent between the game terminal 10 and the server 30.

Note that the data stored in the data storage unit 100 is not limited to the above example. The data storage unit 100 may store data necessary for the game. For example, the data storage unit 100 may store image data of an image to be displayed on the game terminal 10.

[3-2-2. Target selection operation reception section]
The usage target selection operation reception unit 101 is mainly realized by the control unit 11. The usage target selection operation reception unit 101 accepts a usage target selection operation for selecting a usage target from among a plurality of event characters in a game that improves the performance of the main character. The target selection operation may be any operation that can be input from the operation unit 14, for example, an operation on a screen on which a plurality of event characters are displayed.

In this embodiment, incorporating an event character into an event deck corresponds to becoming a target for use, so the operation for selecting an event character to be incorporated into an event deck from among the event characters held by the user is a This corresponds to an example of a target selection operation. For example, when the user performs a predetermined operation on the event deck setting area A110 of the main image G300 (for example, an operation on the setting frame display area A111), a list of event characters owned by the user is displayed on the display unit 15, An event character to be incorporated into the event deck is selected from the list. The usage target selection operation reception unit 101 receives the usage target selection operation by accepting the selection of the event character displayed in the list.

For example, in this embodiment, event characters owned by other users can be incorporated into the event deck as helpers, so the target selection operation involves selecting the target to be used from among the event characters owned by other users. It can also be called an operation for. Note that other users who have event characters that are candidates for use may be selected at random, or may be selected from other users who are friends with the user.

[3-2-3. Setting section]
The setting section 102 is realized mainly by the control section 11. The setting unit 102 sets logical map information indicating each of a plurality of effects for changing one or more parameters related to the performance of the main character. The setting unit 102 sets logical map information based on the event character selected by the usage target selection operation. For example, the setting unit 102 determines the number of panels PN, the arrangement position of the panels PN, and the content of the effect based on the event character incorporated in the event deck. In other words, the setting unit 102 sets an image in which a plurality of panels PN respectively corresponding to a plurality of effects are arranged.

It is assumed that data indicating the relationship between the event characters incorporated in the event deck, the number of panels PN, the arrangement positions of the panels PN, and the contents of the effects is stored in the data storage unit 100 in advance. This relationship may be defined in a mathematical formula or table format, or may be written as part of the program code. The setting unit 102 sets the logical map information so that the number of panel PNs, the arrangement position of the panel PNs, and the content of the effect are associated with the event character to be incorporated into the event deck.

For example, the setting unit 102 sets logical map information based on the parameters of the event character (event character incorporated in the event deck) selected by the use target selection operation. The parameters of the event character may be any parameters stored in the event character data DT1, such as rarity, attribute, position, specialty practice, event type, bonus, or ability parameter.

For example, the setting unit 102 determines the distribution of each type among the plurality of types based on the specialty practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck. In this embodiment, effects are classified into multiple types, and for example, there are four types of effects: effects related to muscle strength points, effects related to agility points or breaking ball points, effects related to skill points, and effects related to mental points. The setting unit 102 determines the number of panels PN for each of these four types of effects based on the event character's specialty practice.

For example, the setting unit 102 determines that the more event characters there are for a particular specialty practice (for example, batting practice), the more panels PN of effects related to experience points (for example, skill points) that can be increased by the particular specialty practice. Determine the allocation as follows. That is, the setting unit 102 sets the effect shown by each panel PN to be biased toward a specific effect, as the special practice of the event character incorporated in the event deck is biased, and The more balanced the effects of each panel PN are, the more evenly balanced the effects shown by each panel PN will be. The setting unit 102 determines the arrangement position and effect content of each panel PN so that the distribution determined as described above is achieved, and sets each panel PN in the logical map LM.

FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram of a setting method for each panel PN in the logical map LM. In addition, in FIG. 18, the distance from the start position panel PN55 is shown numerically. The distance here is a numerical value indicating how many squares are away from the start position panel PN55. Note that the area AR in which no numerical value is shown is an area where the panel PN is first placed based on the ability parameters of the event character.

In the present embodiment, the setting unit 102 arranges the panel PN in the logical map LM so that the panel PN showing the effect of a predetermined content is arranged at a predetermined position in the logical map LM. For example, the panel PN showing effects related to muscle strength points is arranged above the logical map LM (inside the area AU indicated by halftone dots in FIG. 18). Further, for example, a panel PN showing effects related to mental points is placed on the left side of the logical map LM (within the area AL indicated by the vertical line in FIG. 18). For example, a panel PN showing effects related to agility points is arranged on the right side of the logical map LM (within the area AR indicated by the horizontal line in FIG. 18). Further, for example, a panel PN showing effects related to technical points is arranged below the logical map LM (inside the area AD indicated by diagonal lines in FIG. 18).

For example, the setting unit 102 may determine the content of the effect based on the ability parameters of the event character. For example, the setting unit 102 may arrange a panel PN with a stronger effect farther from the start position panel PN55 as the ability parameter of the event character is higher. For example, the setting unit 102 may determine the content of the effect based on the rarity of the event character. For example, the setting unit 102 may arrange a panel PN with a stronger effect farther from the start position panel PN55 as the rarity of the event character is higher.

Note that the setting unit 102 may determine the content of the effect based on the parameters of the main character. For example, the setting unit 102 may vary the content of the effect depending on whether the main character is a pitcher or a fielder. For example, the setting unit 102 may increase the number of panels PN when a specific event character is included in the event deck. For example, the setting unit 102 may virtually allocate any good practice to an event character (for example, a manager) for which no good practice is set, and then determine the content of the effect.

In the game of this embodiment, it is possible to select a plurality of event characters as targets to be used, so the setting unit 102 specifies a specific combination of event characters when the plurality of event characters selected by the target selection operation include A specific effect associated with the combination may be set in the logical map information.

It is assumed that data indicating the relationship between a specific combination and a specific effect is stored in the data storage unit 100 in advance. This relationship may be defined in a mathematical formula or table format, or may be written as part of the program code. The setting unit 102 sets the logical map information so that the number of panel PNs, the arrangement position of the panel PNs, and the content of the effect are associated with the combination of event characters to be incorporated into the event deck. Note that the specific effect may be the same effect as other panels PN, or may be a special effect such as the main character learning a "trick" that makes it easier to acquire special abilities.

For example, the setting unit 102 may set an effect of increasing the maximum value of logical points in the logical map information. That is, the setting unit 102 may arrange the panel PN associated with the effect of increasing the maximum value of logical points in the logical map LM. The setting unit 102 may determine the amount of increase in the maximum value of logical points based on the event character, or may determine it randomly.

Further, for example, in the effect selection operation of the present embodiment, it is possible to select a panel PN within a predetermined distance from a selected panel PN, so the setting unit 102 selects at least one panel PN among the plurality of panels PN for the effect. It may be set to a restricted state in which the contents are not displayed.

The predetermined distance may be any predetermined distance, and in this embodiment, it is one square (unit distance in the X-axis-Y-axis coordinate system). The restricted state is, for example, a state in which the contents of the effect have not been determined, or a state in which the contents of the effect have been determined but are hidden. A restricted state means that when the content of the effect is not determined, the content of the effect may be determined based on predetermined conditions; for example, the effect may be determined randomly, or the effect may be determined based on the user's operation. It may be decided.

For example, when a panel PN within a predetermined distance of a panel PN in a restricted state is selected by an effect selection operation, the setting unit 102 sets a state in which an effect associated with the panel PN in a restricted state is displayed. You can do it like this. The state in which an effect is displayed is a state in which the content of the effect is determined and the content is displayed. For example, when a panel PN within a predetermined distance of the panel PN in the restricted state is selected by an effect selection operation, the setting unit 102 may randomly determine the effect associated with the panel PN in the restricted state. However, effects whose contents are determined in advance may be displayed.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the effect selection operation, it is possible to select a panel PN within a predetermined distance from a selectable panel PN, and among the plurality of panels PN, there is a panel PN where there is no selectable panel PN within a predetermined distance. (For example, the panel PN12 of "Shoulder Training Boost" whose X coordinate value is 1 and Y coordinate value is 2 in FIG. 4) is included, so the setting section 102 can select the A new effect may be added to the logical map information such that a selectable panel PN is added within a predetermined distance of a panel PN that is not within a predetermined distance. The selectable panel PN is a panel PN that satisfies a predetermined condition, and is, for example, a panel PN within a predetermined distance from a selected panel PN, or a panel PN within a predetermined distance from the selected panel PN.

[3-2-4. Display control section]
The display control section 103 is realized mainly by the control section 11. The display control unit 103 causes the display unit 15 to display a plurality of panels PN corresponding to a plurality of effects, respectively, based on the logical map information. Panel PN is an example of an effect object according to the present invention.

An effect object is, for example, an object that is displayed to generate an effect. For example, effect objects include panels, squares, indicators, icons, and the like. For example, an effect object is displayed at a predetermined position within the screen. Therefore, effect objects are displayed at each of a plurality of positions on the screen. The arrangement position (display position) of the effect object is stored in the effect data (logical map information in this embodiment). For example, an effect object is placed within a screen or within a virtual world. For example, effect objects are placed within a map, within a virtual world, or on a tree. The virtual world may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional. The map may be a checkerboard-shaped map, or may be a map with no particular divisions. The tree may be a tree including nodes associated with effects.

In this embodiment, the display control unit 103 arranges each panel PN in the logical map LM based on the panel position of each panel PN stored in the logical map information. Then, the display control unit 103 determines the display mode of each panel PN based on the content of the effect of each panel PN stored in the logical map information. For example, the display control unit 103 determines character strings and icons for each panel PN to indicate the content of the effect.

In this embodiment, the display control unit 103 causes the display unit 15 to display a plurality of panels PN before the event character selected by the usage target selection operation is determined as the usage target. Confirmation means, for example, determining a tentatively selected usage target as a usage target. For example, the display control unit 103 causes the display unit 15 to display the logical map confirmation image G200 before the main part of the success part starts (that is, during the pre-part). That is, the display control unit 103 causes the display unit 15 to display the logical map confirmation image G200 during the period in which the contents of the event deck can be changed.

[3-2-5. Effect selection operation reception section]
The effect selection operation reception unit 104 is mainly realized by the control unit 11. The effect selection operation reception unit 104 receives an effect selection operation for selecting any one of the plurality of panels PN. The effect selection operation may be any operation that can be input from the operation unit 14, and is, for example, an operation on a screen on which a plurality of panels PN are displayed. In this embodiment, the effect selection operation is an operation for selecting the panel PN displayed on the logical map selection image G600. In other words, the effect selection operation is an operation for specifying the position on the screen where panel PN is displayed.

[3-2-6. Effect generation part]
The effect generation section 105 is realized mainly by the control section 11. The effect generation unit 105 generates an effect associated with the panel PN selected by the effect selection operation. Generating an effect means, for example, increasing the amount of change in a parameter related to the performance of the main character. The effect generation unit 105 increases the amount of increase in the experience points of the main character compared to when no effect occurs.

In this embodiment, the effect generation unit 105 generates an effect associated with the panel PN selected by the effect selection operation by consuming points held by the user. For example, the effect generation unit 105 generates an effect associated with the panel PN selected by the effect selection operation in exchange for consuming points held by the user. That is, the effect generation unit 105 generates an effect associated with the panel PN selected by the effect selection operation, on the condition that the points held by the user are consumed.

In this embodiment, since the consumption amount of logical points for generating the effect associated with the panel PN is different for each panel PN, the effect generation unit 105 corresponds to the panel PN selected by the effect selection operation. Logical points are consumed based on the consumption amount attached. The consumption amount is, for example, the amount by which logical points are reduced when an effect occurs, or the amount by which logical points are reduced in exchange for the occurrence of an effect. Note that the consumption amount of logical points may be determined by the setting unit 102 based on a predetermined method. For example, the stronger the effect, the more logical points are consumed.

For example, the effect generation unit 105 specifies the consumed logical points of the panel PN selected by the effect selection operation based on the logical map information stored in the game situation data DT3. Then, if the current value of the logical points stored in the game situation data DT3 is greater than or equal to the consumed logical points, the effect generation unit 105 causes the user to consume the logical points held by the user to select the effect selected by the effect selection operation. Generates an effect associated with panel PN.

[3-2-7. Processing execution part]
The processing execution unit 106 is mainly realized by the control unit 11. The process execution unit 106 executes a process for changing one or more parameters of the main character based on the parameters of the event character selected by the usage target selection operation. The process may be any process that is different from the effect generated by selecting the panel PN. For example, the processing execution unit 106 determines the amount of change in the main character's experience points based on the parameters of the event character included in the event deck. For example, the processing execution unit 106 generates an event in which the experience points of the main character change based on the event character incorporated in the event deck.

[3-2-8. Maximum value change section]
The maximum value changing unit 107 is mainly realized by the control unit 11. The maximum value changing unit 107 changes the maximum value of logical points that the user can hold based on the progress of the game. The change here means increasing or decreasing the maximum value.

It is assumed that data indicating the relationship between the progress of the game and the maximum value of logical points is stored in the data storage unit 100 in advance. This relationship may be defined in a mathematical formula or table format, or may be written as part of the program code. The setting unit 102 sets a maximum value associated with the progress of the game.

For example, the maximum value changing unit 107 changes the maximum value of logical points when a predetermined event occurs in the game. For example, the maximum value changing unit 107 changes the maximum value of logical points when the user performs a predetermined operation in the game. For example, the maximum value changing unit 107 changes the maximum value of logical points when a predetermined parameter changes in the game. For example, the maximum value changing unit 107 changes the maximum value of logical points when a predetermined time point has arrived in the game.

For example, when the setting unit 102 sets an effect such that the amount of points consumed is a first value in the logical map information, the maximum value changing unit 107 sets the maximum value of logical points to less than the first value. The maximum value may be initially set to a value equal to or greater than the first value, and the maximum value may be increased to a value greater than or equal to the first value based on the progress of the game. The first value is the amount of logical points consumed for selecting a predetermined panel PN. For example, the maximum value changing unit 107 may initially set the maximum value of logical points to a fixed value, or may determine it based on the event character incorporated in the event deck. The maximum value changing unit 107 initializes the maximum value of logical points so that there is a panel PN that cannot be selected with the initial value of the maximum value of logical points.

For example, when the panel PN selected by the effect selection operation is associated with an effect that increases the maximum value, the maximum value changing unit 107 increases the maximum value by consuming points held by the user. It may be increased. The maximum value changing unit 107 increases the maximum value of logical points when a panel PN associated with an effect of increasing the maximum value of logical points is selected.

[4. Processing executed in the game system]
Next, the processing executed in the game system S will be explained. Here, among the processes executed in the game system S, the event deck setting process for setting the event deck in the pre-part and the main part process when the main image G300 is displayed in the main part will be explained. . In this embodiment, a case will be described in which these processes are executed in the game terminal 10.

[4-1. Event deck setting processing]
FIG. 19 is a flow diagram illustrating an example of event deck setting processing. The process shown in FIG. 19 is executed by the control unit 11 operating according to a program stored in the storage unit 12 when the user performs a predetermined operation to start the success part. The following processing is an example of processing by each functional block shown in FIG. 14.

As shown in FIG. 19, first, the control unit 11 displays an event deck setting image G100 on the display unit 15 based on the event deck data DT2 (S101). In S101, the control unit 11 refers to the event deck data DT2 and specifies the event character incorporated in the event deck. Then, the control unit 11 displays the image of the specified event character in the event deck setting area A110.

The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the detection signal from the operation unit 14 (S103). Here, it is assumed that any one of an operation for selecting an object to be used for selecting an event character to be incorporated into the event deck, an operation for selecting the logical map confirmation button B120, or an operation for confirming the event deck is performed.

When the user performs a use target selection operation (S103; use target selection operation), the control unit 11 executes an event deck setting process (S105). In S105, for example, the control unit 11 displays a list of event characters owned by the user based on the event character data DT1, and incorporates the event character selected from the list into the event deck. For example, the control unit 11 transmits a request to acquire another user's event character to the server 30, displays a list of other users' event characters, and adds the event character selected from the list to the event deck. Incorporate into.

The control unit 11 updates the logical map information of the game situation data DT3 based on the event deck set in S105 (S107), and returns to the process of S101. In S107, the control unit 11 determines the number of panels PN, arrangement positions, contents of effects, and logical point consumption amount based on the event characters incorporated in the event deck, and updates the logical map information.

In S103, when the user selects the logical map confirmation button B120 (S103; logical map confirmation button), the control unit 11 displays the logical map confirmation image G200 based on the game situation data DT3 (S109). The control unit 11 determines the display content of the logical point display area A210 based on the logical points stored in the game situation data DT3. Then, the control unit 11 determines the display content of the logical map display area A220 based on the panel position and effect content stored in the game situation data DT3.

The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the detection signal from the operation unit 14 (S111). Here, it is assumed that a detailed display operation for selecting each panel PN to display details or an operation for returning to the event deck setting image G100 is performed.

When the user performs a detailed display operation (S113; detailed display operation), the control unit 11 updates the display in the panel detailed display area A230 based on the logical map information of the game situation data DT3 (S113). In S113, the control unit 11 specifies the effect content and consumed logical points of the panel PN selected by the detail display operation, and determines the display content of the panel detail display area A230. On the other hand, if the user performs an operation to return to the event deck setting image G100 (S111; Return), the process returns to S101.

On the other hand, in S103, when the user performs an operation to confirm the event deck (S103; confirmation operation), the control unit 11 starts the main part of the success part (S115), and this process ends. In S115, the contents of the logical map LM are determined.

[4-2. Main part processing]
FIG. 20 is a flow diagram illustrating an example of main part processing. The process shown in FIG. 20 is executed by the control unit 11 operating according to a program stored in the storage unit 12 when the main image G300 is displayed in the main part (for example, at the start of each turn). The following processing is an example of processing by each functional block shown in FIG. 14.

As shown in FIG. 20, the control unit 11 displays the main image G300 on the display unit 15 based on the game situation data DT3 (S201). In S201, the control unit 11 determines the display content of the main image G300 based on each piece of information stored in the game situation data DT3.

The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the detection signal from the operation unit 14 (S203). Here, it is assumed that an operation is performed to select any one of options P3401 to P3407.

When the user selects option P3402 (S203; practice), control unit 11 displays practice image G400 on display unit 15 based on game situation data DT3 (S205). In S205, the control unit 11 determines the display content of the practice image G400 based on each piece of information stored in the game situation data DT3.

The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the detection signal from the operation unit 14 (S207). Here, either an operation to select one of the options P4301 to P4306 or an operation to return to the main image G300 is performed.

When the user selects any of the options P4301 to P4306 (S207; practice item), the control unit 11 exercises the main character (S209), and displays the practice result image G500 on the display unit 15 (S211). , this process ends. In S209, the control unit 11 increases the main character's experience points and logical points and decreases the physical strength parameter based on the practice item indicated by the option selected by the user from options P4301 to P4306. If the effect of increasing experience points for the practice item has occurred, a bonus will be given to the experience points.

Note that in S209, the control unit 11 determines whether the main character will be injured based on a predetermined probability. If it is determined that the main character is injured, an event occurs in which the main character is injured. In this case, the main character's experience points and logical points may not increase. On the other hand, if the user performs an operation to return to the main image G300 (S207; Return), the process returns to S201.

On the other hand, in S203, when the user selects option P3403 (S203; logical map LM), the control unit 11 displays the logical map selection image G600 on the display unit 15 based on the game situation data DT3 (S213). In S213, the control unit 11 determines the display content of the logical point display area A610 based on the logical points stored in the game situation data DT3. Then, the control unit 11 determines the display content of the logical map display area A620 based on the panel position and the content of the effect stored in the game situation data DT3.

The control unit 11 identifies the user's operation based on the detection signal from the operation unit 14 (S215). Here, any one of an operation to select each panel PN, an operation to select the acquisition button B631, or an operation to return to the main image G300 is performed.

When the user selects a panel PN (S215; panel selection), the control unit 11 displays details of the panel PN selected by the user in the panel details display area A630 based on the game situation data DT3 (S217). In S217, the control unit 11 specifies the effect content and consumed logical points of the panel PN selected by the detail display operation, and determines the display content of the panel detail display area A630.

When the user performs an operation to select the acquisition button B631 (S215; acquisition button), the control unit 11 generates an effect associated with the selected panel PN by consuming logical points (S219). In S219, the control unit 11 specifies the consumption amount of logical points associated with the selected panel PN. Then, the control unit 11 reduces the logical points by the consumption amount, and generates the effect associated with the panel PN. Note that if panels PN indicated as "random" are arranged above, below, to the left, and to the right of the panel PN, the contents of the effect of the panel PN are randomly determined at this point. On the other hand, if the user performs an operation to return to the main image G300 (S215; Return), the process returns to S201.

When the user selects option P3404 (S203; ability), the control unit 11 executes processing for increasing the ability parameter based on game situation data DT3 (S221), and returns to the processing of S201. In S221, the control unit 11 increases ability parameters or acquires special abilities by consuming experience points based on the user's operation.

If the user selects any one of the options P3404 to P3407 (S203; Other), the control unit 11 executes a process according to the command selected by the user (S223), and this process ends. In S223, for example, the control unit 11 causes an event in which the main character takes a rest to increase the physical strength parameter. For example, the control unit 11 generates an event in which the main character goes to the hospital to treat an injury or illness. For example, the control unit 11 causes an event in which the main character plays to increase the motivation parameter. For example, the control unit 11 causes an event in which the main character performs data to increase the motivation parameter.

According to the game system S described above, the logical map information is set based on the event character that is incorporated into the event deck and selected as the target of use, and the content of the logical map information is not fixed and changes depending on the target of use. Therefore, the training can be varied, and the interest of the training in the game can be sufficiently improved.

Furthermore, by displaying the logical map confirmation image G200, the user can confirm the contents of the logical map information before deciding on the event character to be used. The user can select the event character to be used so that the logical map information matches his/her own training policy.

In addition, two processes are executed based on the parameters of the event character to be used: a process to change the main character's parameters, and a process to set logical map information, and the process directly changes the main character's parameters. This allows the user to think about whether to select an event character that will affect the main character, or an event character that will affect the effect indicated by the logical map information (an event character that will indirectly affect the development of the main character). , it is possible to effectively improve the interest of training in the game.

In addition, a specific effect can be generated when a predetermined combination of event characters is selected for use, and by allowing the user to try a combination of event characters to generate a specific effect, it is possible to improve the training in the game. Interest can be effectively improved.

Furthermore, since the consumption of logical points held by the user is a condition for the generation of the effect, it is possible to limit the generation of the effect too much and prevent the game from becoming too easy.

In addition, since the amount of logical points consumed differs for each panel PN, and the relationship between the amount of logical points consumed and the effect changes, it is possible to make the user think about which panel PN to select, and improve the strategy of the game. can be improved.

In addition, the maximum value of logical points that a user can hold is changed based on the progress of the game, for example, setting a position that cannot be selected unless the maximum value of logical points increases as the game progresses, or By gradually reducing the value, it is possible to limit the occurrence of the effect, thereby effectively improving the interest of training in the game.

In addition, effects that cannot be generated unless the maximum value of logical points is increased as the game progresses are set, which can motivate the user to increase the maximum value of logical points, and increase the interest of training in the game. can effectively improve sex.

In addition, by providing an effect that increases the maximum value of logical points, the user can consider whether to preferentially select the position where the effect occurs or the position where another effect occurs. Therefore, the interest of training in the game can be effectively improved.

Further, by randomly determining the types of effects and making it impossible to know which type of effect will occur, it is possible to effectively improve the interest of training in the game.

Also, a new position is added to the logical map information so that a selectable panel PN is added within a predetermined distance of a panel PN where no selectable panel PN is within a predetermined distance, and it was not possible to select it until then. Since the panel PN changes to a selectable state, it is possible to effectively improve the interest of training in the game.

[5. Modified example]
Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Changes can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the invention.

(1) For example, in the embodiment, when selecting the panel PN arranged in the logical map LM, an effect that makes it advantageous for the development of the main character occurs, but the effect object to which the effect is associated is , is not limited to panel PN. For example, effects may be associated with cells or nodes.

Further, for example, in the embodiment, the logical map LM can be confirmed before the event deck is confirmed, but the event deck may be confirmed without specifically confirming the logical map LM. Furthermore, for example, although the event character has been described as an example of the second object, the second object does not have to be an event character that is advantageous for the development of the main character, and may be a game item or the like. Furthermore, for example, although a case has been described in which a specific effect occurs when a specific combination of event characters is incorporated into an event deck, such a specific effect does not necessarily have to occur.

Furthermore, for example, although a case has been described in which an effect is generated by consuming logical points, there may also be an effect that occurs without consuming logical points. Furthermore, for example, although a case has been described in which the consumption amount of logical points for selecting each panel PN is different, the logical points consumed by all panels PN may be the same. Furthermore, for example, the maximum value of logical points may be a fixed value and may not change as the game progresses.

For example, there may be no panel PN that requires more logical points than the initial maximum value of logical points. Furthermore, for example, there may be no panel PN associated with the effect of increasing the maximum value of logical points. Furthermore, for example, although a case has been described in which a panel PN within one square from a selected panel PN can be selected, such a restriction does not need to be set.

(2) For example, in the technology of Patent Document 1 described in the conventional technology, the maximum value of the parameter consumed to select a square placed on a predetermined route in the map is a fixed value, and the game changes. Users could easily get bored with the game. In this regard, in the game system S, since the maximum value changing unit 107 is configured to change the maximum value of logical points based on the progress of the game, it is possible to increase the interest of the game. The method of changing the maximum value of logical points is as described in the embodiment. Note that in this case, the contents of the logical map LM do not need to change depending on the event deck.

(3) For example, in the technology of Patent Document 1 described in the conventional technology, the effect when a square placed on a predetermined route in the map is selected is generated permanently, so the effect becomes monotonous and the user It was easy to get bored with the game. In this regard, in the game system S, by arranging panels PN in the logical map LM that are associated with effects that are valid only within a certain period, it is possible to think about when and when to generate the effects. With this structure, the strategic nature of the game can be enhanced. The period may be a period determined based on the time when the panel PN is selected, and may be a period after a predetermined time from the time, or as described in the embodiment, when the panel PN is selected. It may be just the first turn or a few turns after that. Note that in this case, the contents of the logical map LM do not need to change depending on the event deck.

(4) For example, in the technology of Patent Document 1 described in the conventional technology, points acquired in battle are used to select squares, so acquiring points becomes like work, making the game monotonous. I tended to. In this regard, since the game system S is configured to increase logical points when a command is executed, it is possible to enhance the strategic nature of the game. That is, by making the user consider whether to select a command with priority on acquiring logical points or selecting a command with priority on acquiring experience points, the strategic nature of the game can be enhanced. Note that in this case, the contents of the logical map LM do not need to change depending on the event deck.

(5) Furthermore, for example, in the technique of Patent Document 1 described in the conventional technique, the effect of the squares placed on a predetermined route in the map is fixed, and the game tends to be monotonous. In this regard, the game system S has a configuration in which panels PN whose effects are randomly determined are arranged, so that the game can be made more interesting. As described in the embodiment, the effect of the panel PN may be randomly determined from among a plurality of effects. Note that in this case, the contents of the logical map LM do not need to change depending on the event deck.

(6) Furthermore, for example, in the technique of Patent Document 1 described in the conventional technique, the effect of the squares placed on a predetermined route in the map is fixed, and the game tends to become monotonous. In this regard, since the game system S is configured to set a panel PN that can be reached by adding a panel PN, the game can be made more interesting. Note that in this case, the contents of the logical map LM do not need to change depending on the event deck.

(7) For example, in the technology of Patent Document 1 described in the conventional technology, the effect only occurs when a square placed on a predetermined route in the map is selected, and the game tends to become monotonous. . In this regard, the game system S has a configuration in which each practice item is associated with points of two different natures, such as experience points and logical points, thereby increasing the interest of the game. I can do it. Note that in this case, the contents of the logical map LM do not need to change depending on the event deck.

Experience points are points for increasing the ability parameters of the main character, and can be said to be points that have a first attribute. On the other hand, logical points are points for generating a predetermined effect, and can be said to be points having a second attribute for increasing the points of the first attribute. In this way, the game may be made more interesting by associating points of the first attribute and points of the second attribute with each command. In other words, the game can be made more interesting simply by providing both points associated with the command selected by the user and increasing the points of the first attribute by using the points of the second attribute. You can also do this. Note that in this case, the contents of the logical map LM do not need to change depending on the event deck.

In modification example (7), the game system S accepts a selection by the user from among a plurality of commands, executes processing for developing the main character based on the command selected by the user, and associates the command with the command. The points for the first attribute and the points for the second attribute are given to the user. Then, the game system S increases the points of the first attribute by consuming the points of the second attribute. By adopting such a configuration, a command can be selected with emphasis on the points of the first attribute, a command can be selected with emphasis on the points of the second attribute, or a command can be selected with emphasis on the points of the first attribute and the points of the first attribute. By making the user think about whether to select a command that has a good balance between the two attributes, it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

(8) Also, for example, each function realized in the game terminal 10 may be realized in the server 30. For example, the main processing of the game may be executed in the server 30. In this case, the server 30 corresponds to the game control device according to the present invention. For example, when the usage target selection operation reception unit 101, the setting unit 102, the display control unit 103, the effect selection operation reception unit 104, the effect generation unit 105, the process execution unit 106, and the maximum value change unit 107 are realized by the server 30. , these are mainly realized by the control section 31.

In this case, the game terminal 10 receives image data from the server 30 and displays each image on the display unit 15. Furthermore, the game terminal 10 transmits data indicating the instruction received by the operation unit 14 to the server 30. The server 30 receives the data, specifies the user's instruction, and executes the game. Further, for example, each function may be shared between the game terminal 10 and the server 30. In this case, the processing results of each functional block may be transmitted and received between the game terminal 10 and the server 30.

Further, for example, when the main processing of the game is executed in the server 30, the game terminal 10 is implemented with only the setting section 102, and the setting section 102 is configured to improve the main character's performance in a game where the main character's performance is improved. Effect data indicating each of a plurality of effects for changing one or more parameters related to performance may be set. In this case, each of the plurality of effects occurs when the corresponding panel PN is selected, so the setting unit 102 performs a logical Map information may also be set.

Further, for example, although the case where a baseball game is executed has been described, the processing according to the present invention may be applied to other games. For example, the processing according to the present invention may be applied to sports games other than baseball games (for example, games based on soccer, tennis, American football, basketball, volleyball, etc.). Further, for example, in addition to sports games and training games, the processing according to the present invention may be applied to various games regardless of game format or genre, such as action games, role-playing games, and the like.

According to the aspect 6), the amount of points consumed is different for each effect object, and the relationship between the amount of points consumed and the effect changes, so the user can be made to think about which effect object to select. The strategic nature of the game can be improved.

7) In one aspect of the present invention, the game system (S) further includes a maximum value changing unit (107) that changes the maximum value of the points that the user can hold based on the progress of the game. . According to aspect 7), the maximum value of points that the user can hold is changed based on the progress of the game, for example, setting a position that cannot be selected unless the maximum value of points increases as the game progresses; By gradually reducing the maximum value of points, it is possible to limit the occurrence of effects, so it is possible to effectively improve the interest of training in the game.

8) In one aspect of the present invention, the setting means (102) sets an effect such that the point consumption is a first value in the effect data, and the maximum value changing means (107) The maximum value is initially set to a value less than the first value, and the maximum value is increased to a value greater than or equal to the first value based on the progress of the game. According to the aspect 8), an effect that cannot be generated unless the maximum value of points increases as the game progresses is set, and the user can be motivated to increase the maximum value of points, and the game It is possible to effectively improve the interest of the child's training.

9) In one aspect of the present invention, the setting means (102) sets an effect that increases the maximum value in the effect data, and the maximum value changing means (107) sets an effect that increases the maximum value. When the effect that increases the maximum value is associated with the effect object, the maximum value is increased by consuming points held by the user. According to aspect 9), by preparing an effect that increases the maximum value of points, do you preferentially select a position where the effect occurs or a position where another effect occurs? , and can effectively improve the interest of training in the game.

10) In one aspect of the present invention, in the effect selection operation, an effect object within a predetermined distance from the selected effect object displayed on the display means can be selected, and the setting means (102) At least one effect object among the plurality of effect objects is set to a restricted state in which the content of the effect is not displayed, and an effect object within a predetermined distance of the effect object in the restricted state is selected by the effect selection operation. Then, the effect associated with the effect object in the restricted state is displayed. According to the aspect 10), by randomly determining the types of effects and making it impossible to know which type of effects will occur, it is possible to effectively improve the interest of training in the game.

11) In one aspect of the present invention, in the effect selection operation, an effect object within a predetermined distance from a selectable effect object displayed on the display means can be selected, and the plurality of effect objects include a selectable effect object. The setting means (102) includes an effect object for which no selectable effect object is within a predetermined distance, and the setting means (102) is configured to set a predetermined effect object for which no selectable effect object is within a predetermined distance based on the progress of the game. A new effect is added to the effect data so that a selectable effect object is added within the distance. According to the aspect 11), a new position is added to the effect data so that a selectable effect object is added within a predetermined distance of an effect object for which there is no selectable effect object within a predetermined distance, and until then, Since the effect object that could not be selected changes to a selectable state, it is possible to effectively improve the interest of breeding in the game.
