1 is a view for explaining the schematic operation of the game character growth system according to the present invention.

The game character growth system 100 groups various types of different stats differentiated for a specific skill into a mastery, and performs a role of independently updating the gamers' skills in a mastery unit. In the present embodiment, the game character growth system 100 will be described by limiting the operation in the online-based game for convenience of description. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the technical idea of the present invention can be applied to not only online-based games but also personal computer-based games and video console-based games.

First, the online game server 110 allows the gamers 120 to be connected through the communication network 140, and provides game services online to the connected gamers 120 according to a predetermined contract, for example, a mud. (MUD; Multiple User Dialogue) A game service server, a mug (Multiple User Graphic) game service server, and the like. The game service provided from the normal online game server 110 is performed by transmitting game data or game patch data necessary for game progress to the gamers 120 having installed the game related program in the predetermined terminal means 130. In addition, the online game server 110 allows the game character of the gamer 120 to be operated / controlled in accordance with a predetermined operation control signal received from the gamer 120 so that the game proceeds smoothly.

The gamer 120 may mean an Internet user who has a terminal means 130 for maintaining a connection with the communication network 140 and receives a predetermined online game service from an online game server 110 having a predetermined contract relationship. Can be.

The terminal unit 130 maintains a connection state with the online game server 110 through a communication network 140 such as the Internet or a telephone line, and implements an online game provided by using a game related program. For example, a personal computer, It is a concept to collectively refer to a terminal having a predetermined computing power by providing a predetermined memory means such as a handheld computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a smartphone, and the like by mounting a predetermined microprocessor.

The game character growth system 100 receives a selection input related to technology growth of a game character from a gamer 120 who is provided with an online game service, and in response, a specific skill is acquired to the game character so that the game character may be used during the game progress. It plays a role. However, in the technology growth, the game character growth system 100 of the present invention uses the mastery so that the retention capability for a specific skill is specialized, so that the skill growth direction for the game character is guided by the gamers 120 as intended. Hereinafter, a detailed configuration of the game character growth system 200 will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

2 is a block diagram showing a game character growth system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Game character growth system 200 of the present invention, the point storage means 210, the first database 220, the second database 230, the mastery generating means 240, the first control means 250, and the first Two control means 260.

First, the point storage means 210 is a device for adding and recording the point data given to the game character as the game progresses, the recorded point data is linked to the terminal means 130 to provide information to the gamers 120 You can do that. The point data refers to numerical data that is given as a reward concept to a game character leveled up when a predetermined condition is satisfied. For example, the point data is a level up level in which experience data of the game character collected as the game progresses is preset. When the event occurrence value is reached, it may be a kind of score given from the online server 110. For example, when the level of the game character is '50' or less, when the level of the game character rises by one level, 'two points' is given as the point data, and when the level up of one level is achieved by '51' or more '3 points' can be added as the point data, and can be added and recorded in the point storage means 210. FIG. In this embodiment, the point data having a predetermined value is provided according to the level up of the game character. However, the event point data is provided during the game, and the bonus point point data is provided upon completion of the quest. There may be a variety of point data assignment schemes and may be flexibly adopted by the operator of the present system.

The first database 220 is a device for storing a first skill related to a skill that can be acquired according to a game character function, and has a predetermined attribute of a technology (or skill group) that can be acquired according to the level rise of the game character. It is classified into and recorded. Here, the first skill is an example of an independent technique that can be acquired by a game character of a specific function, such as a blizzard of ice property, a thunder storm of electric property, a fire wall of fire property, and the like. can do. This first skill may include predetermined level information and allow only the game character to acquire the corresponding level level of the game character. In addition, the abilities of the first skills stored in the first database 220 are all basic (level I), and the improvement of the abilities is made according to the selection input of the gamers 120 for the second skills included in the mastery described later. To lose.

The second database 230 is a device that stores a second skill determined by applying one or more types of data set by a selected criterion to a predetermined capability value of the first skill. Here, the second skill is a form of ability growth of the first skill that changes the capability by applying the type data related to the capability improvement to the first skill. The second skill is a continuous (D) type or an intensity (I) type according to the type of the capability growth. It may be classified into a range (R) type and a target (T) type. That is, the second skill may specialize the duration, intensity, reach, and number of targets that make up the ability of the first skill, so that the growth pattern may vary depending on the item of the ability to be improved. have.

The mastery generating unit 240 is a device for generating a predetermined mastery by associating at least a portion of the first skill with the second skill, and serves to arrange the second skill on a growth path where the capability of the first skill is improved. To perform. The mastery is preferably generated for each of the first skills, but may include two or more first skills in one mastery. However, in the present embodiment, it will be described that only one first skill is included in one mastery according to the purpose of the present invention, which is intended to specialize in improving the capability of a specific technology.

Hereinafter, a first skill, a second skill, and a mastery associated with the same will be described with reference to FIG. 3A.

3A is a diagram illustrating an example of a mastery that associates a first skill and a second skill according to the present invention.

In FIG. 3A, a mastery 300 associated with a 'blazzard' of an ice attribute, which is a first skill, and a second skill classified into a continuous (D) type, an intensity (I) type, a range (R) type, and a target (T) type ) Is illustrated.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the first skill 'Blizzard Level I' has the ability to hold D 2, I 3, R 1, and T 1, and the selected condition (level of game character, input of point data). Etc.), are acquired by the game character to be used during the game. That is, if the level of the game character meets the level required by the 'Blizzard Level I', the mastery 300 including the 'Blizzard Level I' is presented to the gamer 120 and the mastery ( At the time when the predetermined point data is input to the control unit 300, 'blizzard level I' may be obtained to the game character. At this time, the second skill associated with 'Blizzard Level I', 'Blizzard Level II' is visually activated (eg, providing backlighting, an updateable message, etc.), and the point data required for obtaining the second skill. Wait for input from the gamer 120. The second skill is related to the improvement of the specific stats of the first skill, and the D type (D 4, I 3.1, R 1.1, T 1), which specifically improves the duration of the Blizzard Level I, has a specific strength intensity. Type I (D 2.1, I 5, R 1.1, T 1), which has been improved by using T-type (D 2.1, I 3.1, R 1.1, T 2.9) and the like. The technology growth to the second skill is based on the selection input of the gamer 120 after receiving the point input signal corresponding to the point data size required for the second skill from the gamer 120, and the second skill 'Blizzard Level II'. To be one of '. Accordingly, by using the mastery 300 that normalizes the technology growth path of a predetermined technology, the performance level is improved to achieve the objective of the present invention to induce the acquisition of skills corresponding to the technology growth intention of the gamers 120. Can be implemented.

The first control means 250 associates each of the mastery 300 with a predetermined cumulative field for adding and inputting the point data in response to the point input signal of the gamer 120, and in response to the input of the predetermined value of the point data. A device that controls a skill to be acquired by a game character. That is, the first control means 250 inputs a point input signal generated when the predetermined numerical data is input by the gamer 120, for example, in the point input window provided on the terminal means 130 of the gamer 120. In response, the predetermined point data extracted from the point storage means 210 is input to the accumulated field. Further, the first control means 250 controls the first skill to be acquired by the game character when the size of the point data added to the cumulative field reaches the predetermined request data set in the first skill.

Also, the second control means 260 designates the second skill associated with the acquired first skill as an acquireable technology, and selects a condition (hereinafter referred to as input data) of the point data added to the cumulative field (hereinafter referred to as input data). And the second skill corresponding to the request data of the second skill, the second skill is acquired by the game character in response to the selection input of the gamer 120 for the second skill. That is, when the input point of the cumulative field coincides with the request point of the second skill, the second control means 260 may select a specific second skill according to the selection input of the gamer 120 for at least one second skill. Let the character get it.

The first control means 250 or the second control means 260 described above may be a kind of game control means for supporting the game progress of the game character, hereinafter the first control means 250 or the second control means 260 Acquisition of a game character of the first skill or the second skill by using FIG. 2) will be described with reference to FIG. 3B.

FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating an example of a mastery that displays some skills as obtainable technology by inputting point data according to the present invention. FIG.

The mastery 300 illustrated in FIG. 3B includes a cumulative field 310 for adding and inputting point data, and divides four stages into levels of specialized capabilities. In addition, the recorder 320 including the request point information is associated with each skill (first to third skills) so that the size of the input point required for obtaining the corresponding skill is easily recognized by the gamer 120. .

For example, it is assumed that the input point '10' is added to the mastery 300 of FIG. 3B at one time according to the selection of the gamers. First, when '10' is input on the predetermined point input window by the gamer 120, a predetermined point input signal is generated and the first control means 250 receiving the point data is received from the point storage means 210. '10' is extracted and added (accumulated) to the accumulated field 310. In addition, the first control means 250 compares the input point on the cumulative field 310 with the request point on the recorder 320 and activates (eg, changes the background color) for a skill having a request point below the input point value. To be done. In other words, the first skill (level I: demand point 5) and the second skill (level II: demand point 10) become available skills, and the 'first skill-type second skill' is determined based on a gamer's selection input. Alternatively, the first skill-type I second skill may be acquired by the game character. Accordingly, the capability value specialization for the technology may be performed according to the size of the input point data, and in addition, the technology growth intention may be appropriately reflected in the technology growth.

In the present exemplary embodiment, when the input point added to the cumulative field 310 satisfies the required point required for each skill, the present invention has been described by activating all corresponding skills, but this is an embodiment of the present invention. For example, when the level level of the game character satisfies the level information included in the first skill, the first skill may be activated first, and after the acquisition of the first skill, the second skill may be designated as an acquired skill. . At this time, the deduction process for the input point '10' causes the '5' to be deducted in response to the first skill acquisition from the accumulated point data '10', and is selected by the gamer 120 for the activated second skill. Therefore, the remaining '5' can be deducted.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the request points included in the record 320 are described as being the same in the same skill (for example, all of the request points of the second skill are '10'). Of course, the required points of the respective recorders 320 can be differentially adjusted.

As another embodiment of the present invention, the mastery inclusion of the third skill generated by further specializing the capability of the second skill will be described.

The game character growth system 200 of the present invention may generate a third skill that further deepens the capability of the second skill and associate it with the first skill in improving the capability of the first skill. For example, in the case of acquiring the 'first skill-type D second skill' to the game character by selecting the gamers 120 in FIG. 3B, the game character growth system 200 is associated with the 'type D second skill'. 'D-type third skill' is designated as an acquired skill. Thereafter, according to the point data input of the gamer 120, the time point at which the input points accumulate in the cumulative field 310 becomes '15' (the time point at which an additional '5' point data input is made to the previously input '10'). In response to the gamer's selection input for the third skill, the third skill (level III) is acquired for the game character. Accordingly, the specific ability of the first skill may be further deepened to sufficiently reflect the gamers' desire for technology growth. In addition, the game character growth system 200 may allow the third skill associated with the second skill to be associated with only the D-type according to the same type as the second skill, and one or more of the four types described above may be arbitrarily selected. Can be selected / associated.

In this regard, the game character growth system 200 of the present invention may adjust the required points for the second skill, for example, 'type I second skill', in which the gamers 120 are not selected. That is, the game character growth system 200 may adjust the required point '10' previously required for the 'type I second skill' to '12', for example, and select the 'type D second skill'. When the gamer 120 intends to change to the “type I second skill,” the gamers 120 induce an opportunity cost according to the change of the technology growth direction of the gamer 120. Accordingly, the skill included in the mastery 300 When the selection is input, the gamer 120 may require careful judgment to increase the concentration of the game.

Although the cumulative field 310 in the present embodiment is described by continuously accumulating the input point data, this is also an embodiment of the present invention, and includes a predetermined point reset means (not shown). When the point data satisfying the request data is input, the cumulative field 310 may be cleared, and the corresponding skill may be assigned as an acquireable or obtainable technology in an associative order. For example, when the gamers 120 input the point data '5' into the corresponding mastery 300 in FIG. 3B, the game character growth system 200 resets the input field 310 to '0' and the first skill. To be acquired by the game character. Subsequently, the game character growth system 200 selects the gamers 120 for the second skill designated as the obtainable technology until the game gamers 120 inputs additional point data '5' to the corresponding mastery 300. Wait for input.

Although not shown in FIG. 2, the game character growth system 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include a database management module for managing the above-described databases 220 and 230. The database management module of the game character growth system 200 according to the present invention is a relational database management system (RDBMS) such as Oracle, Infomix, Sybase, DB2, Gemston, The object-oriented database management system (OODBMS) such as Orion, O2, etc. may be implemented to meet the purposes of the present invention.

The workflow of the game character growth system 200 according to the present invention having such a configuration will be described in detail.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a game character growth method in detail according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The game character growth method according to the present embodiment is performed by the game character growth system 200 described above.

First, the game character growth system 200 maintains a first database 220 for storing a first skill related to the obtainable technology according to the game character function (S410). This step (S410) is a process of storing the first skill to be a head-skill (Head-skill) in the mastery 300, the skills associated with the game character's function is classified according to the level of the current game character. For example, if the game character's function is 'Wizard', the first skills that 'Wizard' can use are Fire Bolt (Level 1), Poison Nova (Level 10), and Blizzard: Level 20) etc. can be illustrated. The level information included in the first skill means a limited level acquired by the corresponding character and used in the game, and a game character having a level level less than or equal to the level information becomes impossible to acquire or use the corresponding skill.

In addition, the game character growth system 200 maintains a second database for storing a second skill determined by applying one or more types of data set by a selected criterion to a predetermined capability value of the first skill (S420). This step (S420) is a process of storing a second skill that replaces the capability of the first skill and retains the type data as the capability, and records the skill (Secondary-Skill) derived from the header skill. Here, the type data is for improving a specific capability for the first skill, and the second skill determined by the type data is continuous (D) type, strength (I) type, and range (R) according to the improved ability value. It can be classified into one of the types, object (T) type (see FIG.

Next, the game character growth system 200 provides the gamer 120 with a mastery 300 generated by associating at least a portion of the first skill with the second skill (S430). This step (S430) is a process of normalizing the technology growth path for the first skill to the mastery 300, for example, a tree structure in which one or more second skills are differentiated from the highest first skill. May create a mastery 300 of. The generated mastery 300 is represented by the terminal means 130 of the gamer 120 considering the current level of the game character. For example, when the current level of the game character is '21', the above-described fire bolt and poison The mastery 300 associated with Nova and Snowstorm may be provided to the gamers 120. Accordingly, when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, input of set point data), the first skill acquired by the game character is used immediately in the game, thereby making a junk skill or a high level skill (current level). It is possible to suppress unnecessary use of rare point data such as a technique that cannot be used at a level level.

In addition, the step S430 may include a process of requesting the game character predetermined point data for acquiring the first skill or the second skill, and will be included in the mastery 300 with reference to FIG. 5 below. The field 310 will be described.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of including a cumulative field for inputting point data into the master of the present invention.

First, the game character growth system 200 associates the cumulative field 310 for inputting the point data of the gamer 120 to each of the masteries 300 (S510). In operation S510, the game field 120 may accumulate the accumulated field 310 so that the game character growth system 200 may recognize the size of the input point data for the mastery 300 selected by the gamer 120 to grow the technology. It is a process of inclusion. Here, the cumulative field 310 is to add a predetermined input point in response to the point input signal of the gamer 120, the point input signal is provided as a user interface (UI) on the terminal means 130 The gamer 120 generates a predetermined number by inputting a predetermined number into the point input window. For example, when the gamer 120 writes '10' in the point input window, the game character growth system 200 extracts the point data '10' from the point storage means 210, and the extracted point data is a cumulative field. The addition may be input to 310.

Next, the game character growth system 200 maintains one or more recorders 320 including the request point information as the mastery is provided to the gamers 120 (S520). This step (S520) is a process of recording the size of the point data required for the skill that the game character wants to acquire as a request point, the recorder 320 holding a predetermined request point as each of the first skill or the second skill. To be allocated (see FIG. 3B). The request points recorded in the recorder 320 can be flexibly adjusted by the operator of the present system, in particular, so that the same request points are set for the same level of skill (e.g., request point '10' is set for both the second skills). As a result, the selection range of the gamers 120 in the skill selection can be obtained.

In addition, the game character growth system 200 adds and inputs predetermined point data to the cumulative field 310 in response to the point input signal of the gamer 120 for the specific mastery 300 (S530). In operation S530, the point data extracted from the point storage means 210 is added to the cumulative field 310 in response to the point input signal of the gamer 120, and the cumulative field 310 corresponds to the aforementioned skill. The recorder 320 may be linked with the recorder 320, thereby designating up to the skill of the required point to which the size of the input point data is matched. For example, in FIG. 3B, the size of the point data added to the cumulative field 310 is '10', and the game character growth system 200 acquires up to the second skill of the recorder 320 having the same required point. Can be specified as a possible technology. Likewise, if the input point of the cumulative field 320 is '5', the game character growth system 200 designates only the first skill as an acquireable technology.

Accordingly, the first skill or the second skill corresponding to the skill growth direction of the gamers 120 is normalized and presented as the mastery 300, and the skill value of the optimal game character is specified by inputting predetermined point data. Can be obtained.

Referring back to FIG. 4, the game character growth system 200 controls the game character to acquire the first skill in response to the input of the point data predetermined value of the gamer 120 with respect to the mastery 300 (S440). In operation S440, for example, when the input data added to the cumulative field 310 satisfies the request data of the recorder 320 allocated to the first skill, the first skill may be used as a holding skill of the game character. It is a process to make sure. In this case, the first skill of the mastery 300 provided to the gamer 120 may be controlled to be visually recognized, thereby allowing the gamer 120 to recognize the identification of the first skill designated as the obtainable technology. The effect of making it easy can be obtained (see FIG. 3B).

Hereinafter, an example of acquiring a first skill to a game character through inputting point data into the mastery 300 will be described with reference to FIG. 6.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of obtaining a game character of a first skill according to the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 6, the game character growth system 200 compares a cumulative value of input point data with required point information of the recorder 320 assigned to the first skill (S610). This step (S610) is a process of checking the size (input point) of the point data added to the cumulative field 310 of the specific mastery 300, and the gamers 120 for the first skill of the corresponding mastery 300. It is recognized as an input point that there is a skill acquisition intention. That is, when the gamer 120 wants to acquire the first skill, it is considered that the size (required point) of point data required by the first skill is input to the cumulative field 310. The acquisition intention of the first skill of 120 may be determined.

When the point data accumulated in the comparison step S610 satisfies the required point information of the first skill (Yes direction), the game character growth system 200 obtains the first skill to the game character (S620). In the step S620, when the size of the point data added to the cumulative field 310 corresponding to the point input signal of the gamer 120 coincides with the required point of the first skill, the first skill corresponds to the game character. It is the process of controlling to become a technology possessed For example, when the input point of the cumulative field 310 is '5' in FIG. 3B, the game character growth system 200 acquires the first skill to the game character.

On the other hand, if the input point does not satisfy the required point information of the first skill in the comparison step (S610) (No direction), the game character growth system 200 waits for input of the point data for the cumulative field 310. Done.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, by inputting predetermined point data into the mastery 300, it is possible to achieve the effect of faithfully fulfilling the object of the present invention so that the first skill desired by the gamer 120 is acquired by the game character. .

Referring back to FIG. 4, the game character growth system 200 designates a second skill associated with the acquired first skill as an acquireable technology (S450). In operation S450, after the first skill is acquired in the game character, the technology growth direction for improving the ability of the first skill is presented to the gamer 120. The second skill is associated with the lower end of the first skill. Designate the skill as the next update candidate. That is, since the best first skill is acquired to the game character in the mastery 300 of the tree structure, the related second skill is controlled to be used by the game character when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 7, the acquisition skill designation of the second skill and the acquisition of the second skill as the game character will be described.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of acquiring a second skill to a game character according to the present invention.

First, the game character growth system 200 compares the required point information of the recorder 320 allocated to the designated second skill with the accumulated value of the point data (S710). This step (S710) is a process of checking the input points added (cumulative) added to the cumulative field 310 of the mastery 300 including the acquired first skill, gamers for improving the capability of the first skill ( The intention of 120 is recognized by the game character growth system 200. That is, when the gamer 120 wants to improve a specific ability value of the first skill, the game server 120 adds and inputs point data (request point information) required by the second skill into the cumulative field 310. By determining the cumulative value, the acquisition intention for the second skill of the gamer 120 may be determined.

When the cumulative value of the point data satisfies the required point information of the second skill in the comparison step S710 (Yes direction), the game character growth system 200 selects the input of the gamer 120 for the second skill. Wait (S720). In operation S720, when the size (input point) of the point data added to the cumulative field 310 corresponding to the point input signal of the gamer 120 matches the required point of the second skill, for example, the second skill Is visually activated and waits for the selection of gamers 120 for the activated second skill (see FIG. 3B).

Next, the game character growth system 200 controls the game character to acquire a second skill in which the selection input of the gamer 120 is made (S730). This step (S730) is a process in which the gamer 120 registers a specific second skill that has generated a selection input signal based on the technology growth direction as the game character's holding skill, for example, D, I, R, and T types. Allow one of the second skill type to be acquired by the game character. That is, this step (S730) is to apply the type data of the second skill instead of the capability possessed by the first skill, thereby obtaining an effect of inducing a capability increase for a specific capability of the first skill.

On the other hand, if the accumulated point data in the comparison step (S710) does not satisfy the required point information of the second skill (No direction), the game character growth system 200 inputs the point data for the accumulated field 310 Will wait.

Accordingly, according to the present invention, it is possible to perform the easy capability growth control while optimally reflecting the skill growth intention of the gamers 120 by performing the specific capability improvement for the first skill as the selection input of the second skill. Get the effect.

In addition, the game character growth system 200 adjusts required point information of the recorder 320 assigned to the second skill for which the selection input of the gamer 320 is not made (S750). This step (S750) is a process of changing the required points for the second skills other than the second skill selected by the gamer 120 among the second skills designated and acquired as the obtainable technology. This is to ensure that opportunity cost is incurred for the remaining second skills according to the selection of one of the second skills of the same level. For example, the skill growth direction is shifted with respect to the second skill acquired by the gamer 120 (another type. In order to reselect the second skill), predetermined point data is additionally required. In the present embodiment, the method of adjusting the size of the point data is not particularly limited, but preferably, the player 120 may be cautious about changing the type of the second skill by increasing the point data above the existing required point. Can be. For example, if the technology growth direction is to be changed to the second skill of the I type instead of the second skill of the D type already acquired in FIG. 3B, the game character growth system 200 of the present invention may request the type I second skill. By adjusting the point to '12', which is higher than the existing '10', the opportunity cost for the second skill of the D-type may be sufficiently generated. In addition, the adjustment of the size of the point data can be made downward, and can be flexibly adopted by the operator of the present system in consideration of the system environment.

Hereinafter, as another embodiment of the present invention, generation of a third skill that specializes in the capability of the second skill will be described.

8 illustrates a method for including a third skill generated in accordance with the present invention in a mastery.

The present embodiment may be further included in step S450 of designating the above-described second skill as an obtainable technology.

As shown in FIG. 8, the game character growth system 200 applies a third skill determined by applying one or more types of data to a predetermined capability value of the second skill in response to a selection input of the gamer 120 for the second skill. It is maintained (S810). This step (S810) is a process of deepening and specializing the ability of the first skill than that of the second skill, wherein the third skill applies the same level of type data or different level of type data to the second skill. The type data and the number of the third skill may be flexibly determined in consideration of the degree of deepening of the first skill capability. The determined third skill may be stored in association with a second skill of the second database 230, for example.

Next, the game character growth system 200 associates at least a portion of the second skill and the third skill in the mastery 300 (S820). This step (S820) is a process for including the technology growth path resulting from the second skill in the mastery 300, so that at least one third skill is differentiated from the second skill. For example, the third skill in FIG. 3B may be arranged so as to be horizontally aligned with the lower end of the second skill in the tree structure of the mastery 300 (D type third skill and type I below the second type I skill). Or a third skill arrangement (level III) below the third skill (level III).

In addition, the game character growth system 200 controls the recorder 320 including predetermined request point information to be assigned to the third skill (S830). The step S830 is a process of recording the size of the point data required for acquisition for the third skill to be deepened by specializing the specific ability value of the first skill, for example, by setting a predetermined required point at each level of the third skill. The recorder 320 for recording is allocated (see Fig. 3B).

Accordingly, by increasing the degree of specialization using the third skill with respect to the specific capability value of the first skill, it is possible to obtain an effect of providing a character growth model sufficiently reflecting the skill growth demand of the gamer 120.

Hereinafter, as another embodiment of the present invention, it will be described to control the ability value for the first skill or the second skill designated as the obtainable technology according to the selection input of the gamer.

9A is a flowchart illustrating a game character growth method according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The present embodiment is to control the capability of the specific first skill by the selection of the gamers 120, and may maximize the freedom of selection for the growth of the gamers 120.

First, the game character growth system 200 maintains a first database 220 for storing a first skill in relation to the obtainable technology of the game character (S910), and the type data related to the capability value to be retained by the first skill. Maintain a second database 230 for storing (S920). These steps (S910, S920) is a process of storing information about the first skill and the capability value of the first skill, and the detailed description thereof is replaced with the description in the above-described steps S410 and S420. However, the type data stored in the second database 230 relates to the relative size of each capability value of the first skill, and according to the relative size, the continuous (D) type, the intensity (I) type, the range (R) type, Can be classified as one of the subject (T) types.

Next, the game character growth system 200 provides the gamers 120 with a mastery 300 generated by associating at least a portion of the first skill and type data (S930) and the gamers with respect to the mastery 300. In response to the predetermined point data input of 120, the first skill of the mastery 300 is activated (S940). The steps S930 and S940 are processes of adding and inputting point data into the generation and accumulation field 310 of the mastery 300 including the first skill and type data for controlling the capability of the first skill. The details are the same as or similar to the steps S430 and S530, and the description thereof is replaced with the above description. However, in the step of generating the mastery 300 (S930), the game character growth system 200 is a classification type of type data, that is, continuous (D) type, intensity (I) type, range (R) type, target ( The predetermined recorder 320 may be associated with each of the T types, and the request points included in each recorder 320 may be different from each other.

In addition, the game character growth system 200 may acquire a first skill for the game character that specifies the selected type data as a capability in response to the selection input of the gamer 120 for the type data associated with the activated first skill. Control (S950). In step S950, the capability value for the first skill is assigned according to the selection of the gamer 120. The type data in which the selection signal is generated by the gamer 120 is updated with the capability value of the first skill.

Accordingly, the present invention may obtain the effect of actively controlling the acquisition of the first skill and the control of the acquired first skill by the selection of the gamers 120.

Hereinafter, an example of a mastery generated by associating first skill and type data will be described with reference to FIG. 9B.

9B is a diagram illustrating an example of a mastery generated by associating the first skill with type data of the present invention.

In FIG. 9B, the mastery 900 indicates that the first skill (requirement point '3') is associated with the type data of the continuous (D) type, the intensity (I), the range (R) type, and the target (T) type. To illustrate. When the input point added to the cumulative field 310 becomes '3' in response to the point input signal of the gamer 120, the game character growth system 200 may acquire the first skill of the corresponding mastery 900. It is specified as. Thereafter, the game character growth system 200 waits for the selection input of the gamer 120 for the type data associated with the first skill, and the cumulative field 310 is '4' by adding the additional point data. Alternatively, at a time point of '5', the predetermined type of type data can be activated. In FIG. 3B, the input point becomes '5', and accordingly, 'first skill-type type data' is selected by the gamer 120. Accordingly, the capability possessed by the first skill is D 3. , I 1, R 1, and T 1.

In addition, the game character growth system 200 of the present invention generates a second skill that specializes in the acquired capability of the first skill, and associates it with the first skill to be included in the mastery 900.

10A is a flowchart illustrating a method of generating a second skill according to another embodiment of the present invention.

This embodiment may be performed by being included in the step S950 of acquiring the first skill to the game character.

First, the game character growth system 200 generates a second skill by applying one or more second type data to the acquired first skill (S1010), and associates at least a portion of the first skill with the second skill to create a mastery ( 900) (S1020). These steps S1010 and S1020 are processes of including the second skill generated by applying the second type data to the capability of the first skill in the mastery 900 in association with the first skill. In this case, the second type of data is controlled to be upwardly higher than the type data applied to the first skill to ensure the specialization of the capability of the first skill. For example, in FIG. 9B, since the capability values of the first skill are D 3, I 1, R 1, and T 1, the second type of data that can be specialized may be set to D 5, I 2, R 2, T 1.5, and the like. . It goes without saying that the setting of this second type of data can be flexibly adjusted by the operator of the present system.

Next, the game character growth system 200 waits for the selection input of the gamer 120 for the second skill until the input value of the point data for the mastery 900 satisfies the selected condition (S1030). This step (S1030) is a process of waiting for the point data required by the second skill, that is, the point in time when the request data and the input point of the cumulative field 310 coincide, and is received from the gamer 120 who wants to acquire the second skill. It is confirmed that the input point added to the cumulative field 310 according to the point input signal to reach the required point of the second skill.

Accordingly, the present invention obtains the effect of providing a character growth model that fully reflects the skill growth demands of the gamer 120 by allowing the second skill to further customize the capability of the first skill.

In addition, the game character growth system 200 may perform a predetermined processing process for the mastery 900 when a predetermined point data input to satisfy the required point of the second skill occurs.

10B is a flowchart illustrating a machining process method for a second skill according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 10B, the game character growth system 200 acquires a second skill associated with the acquired first skill at a time point when an input value of the point data for the mastery 900 satisfies a predetermined condition. Designation is possible (S1032). This step (S1032) is a process in which the skill growth direction for improving the capability of the first skill is presented to the gamer 120 under the condition that the required point of the second skill and the input point added to the cumulative field 310 match. As a result, the second skill associated with the lower end of the first skill is designated as the next update candidate group.

Next, the game character growth system 200 controls to visually recognize the designated second skill and provides it to the gamer 120 (S1034). This step S1034 is a process of performing a predetermined activation process so that the gamers 120 can easily recognize the second skill designated as the obtainable technology. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B or FIG. 9B, the mastery 900 is performed. ), Processing such as changing the screen coloration of the second skill is performed.

Accordingly, the present invention can obtain the effect of inducing the gamer 120 to accurately input the selection of the gamer 120 by allowing the gamer 120 to easily recognize the information on the second skill capable of improving the capability.
