Description

Game system, game control device and program

The present invention relates to a game system, a game control device, and a program.

BACKGROUND ART Heretofore, there has been known a game in which an effect associated with a game object such as a game card is generated. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique in which, in a game in which a user plays a game using a game card to earn points, a special card that generates a special effect only during a game event holding period is distributed, A game system that makes it easy to earn points is described.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-124295

In the technique of Patent Document 1, by generating a special effect of time-limited special cards, it is possible to increase the value as a game card without raising the ability parameters of the game card. However, in the technique of Patent Document 1, when the holding period of a game event has elapsed, special effects of the special card do not occur, and the same handling as that of a normal game card is obtained, so that the value as a game card is lost at a glance.

For example, when the game card having the ability parameter lower than the capability parameter of the other game card owned by the user is a special card and the special card is handled in the same manner as a normal game card, There is a possibility that the user will not be used again at the boundary. Since the period in which the value of a game object having a special effect such as a special card is increased depends on the holding period of the game event, the shorter the holding period is, the more the value of the game object falls sharply in a short period of time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game system, a game control apparatus, and a program capable of preventing a sudden drop in the value of a game object such as a game card.

In order to solve the above problems, a game system according to an aspect of the present invention includes: data acquisition means for acquiring effect data for each period, which represents a plurality of effects respectively corresponding to a plurality of periods of different lengths, A period specifying means for specifying a period during which the game execution time is included among the plurality of periods; and a period specifying means for specifying a period including the execution time point of the game in a period specified by the period specifying means associated with the game object And effect generating means for generating an effect represented by the acquired effect data for each period.

A game control device according to an aspect of the present invention includes data acquiring means for acquiring effect data for each period associated with a game object and representing a plurality of effects respectively corresponding to a plurality of periods having different lengths from each other; A period specifying unit that specifies a period in which a game execution time is included; and a period specifying unit that specifies a period during which the game object is used, based on the acquired period And effect generating means for generating an effect represented by the effect data.

[One. Overall configuration of game system]

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding components are denoted by the same reference numerals and repeated explanation may be omitted. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of a game system according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1, the game system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of user terminals 10-1, 10-2, ..., and 10-N, and a server 30. As shown in FIG. Contents common to the user terminals 10-1, 10-2, and 10-N will be described as " user terminal 10 " in the following description. The user terminal 10 and the server 30 are connected to the network N. [ For this reason, data communication between the user terminal 10 and the server 30 is possible.

The user terminal 10 is a computer operated by a user. For example, the user terminal 10 may be a mobile phone (including a smart phone), a tablet computer, a personal computer, a portable game machine, a game machine, a business game machine, or a multifunctional television receiver Television). In the following, a description will be given of a case where a cellular phone having a touch panel is a user terminal 10, and a program supplied from the server 30 is executed in a cellular phone. The program may be supplied through a server or a recording medium different from the server 30.

The program or data may be supplied to the user terminal 10 or the server 30 through the information storage medium.

[2. Game Overview]

In the game system 1, a game is executed by executing a program on the user terminal 10. [ In the game system 1, various games can be executed. In this embodiment, a game in which game objects operate in a virtual world will be described as an example. Before describing the outline of the game, terms such as a virtual world and a game object will be described.

The "virtual world" is a game world, and there are various worlds depending on the type of game. For example, in the case of a sports game, it is a stadium where a sporting game is played, and in a case of a fighting game, a place where a match is played. Further, the virtual world may be a three-dimensional space or a two-dimensional plane. In this embodiment, a case in which the virtual world is a three-dimensional space will be described as an example.

The " game object " is an object that can be used, for example, in a game. In other words, a game object is, for example, a virtual moving object disposed in a virtual world. For example, the moving object is a three-dimensional model (3D object) if the virtual world is three-dimensional, and a planar object appearing on the image if the virtual world is two-dimensional. For example, a game character or the like corresponds to an example of a game object. In other words, the game object is what the user uses in the game. For example, the game object may be held by the user. For example, among the game objects held by the user, it may be a game object selected by the user as a game object used in the game. Alternatively, among the game objects provided in the game, a game object selected by the user as a game object used in the game may be used. Alternatively, it may be a game object set by a game control device (game system) as a game object used by the user in the game. In the present embodiment, a game character is described as an example of a game object.

"Action" is, for example, a movement in a virtual world. For example, the action is the movement of the body of the game character. For example, moving, jumping, or performing a predetermined behavior in a game may correspond to an operation. For example, if the game is a sport using a moving object such as a ball or a puck, it may correspond to an action, such as kicking a moving object, throwing a moving object, heading a moving object, or hitting a moving object . As will be described later, in the present embodiment, since the soccer game is taken as an example, the game character performs the action of moving the ball (for example, dribble, shooting, passing, heading) do. In the present embodiment, the first parameter that affects the operation of the game character is related to the game character.

The " first parameter " is a parameter that affects, for example, the speed, strength, or precision of the motion in the virtual world. For example, parameters relating to the speed, intensity, or precision of movement in the virtual world. For example, it is a parameter that determines the speed, intensity, or precision of the motion in the virtual world. In other words, for example, the first parameter is a parameter related to the ability of the game character to operate. For example, the higher the ability represented by the first parameter, the faster the game character moves. Also, for example, the higher the capability represented by the first parameter, the stronger the game character operates. As a result, the force against an object (for example, a moving object such as a ball) that the game character touches becomes strong, and the moving speed of the object may be increased. Also, for example, the higher the capability represented by the first parameter, the more highly the game character operates. In this embodiment, the case where the ability parameter of the game character corresponds to the first parameter is exemplified. In addition to the ability parameters, the game character of the present embodiment is also associated with a second parameter that affects the payout associated with the user's identification information.

The " user identification information " is information for uniquely identifying the user, for example. In other words, for example, the identification information of the user is information for specifying the user. For example, the user ID, the name of the user, the user account, or the e-mail address correspond to an example of the user identification information. In the present embodiment, a case where the user ID corresponds to the user identification information will be described as an example.

The term " repair " refers to game maintenance given to the user at a predetermined timing, for example, after the end of the game. For example, associating (or mapping) the pay to the user ID corresponds to giving a payoff. For example, the payoff may be points (in-game calls) or items. For example, the maintenance is given to the user identified by the user ID. For example, giving a point to a user may be equivalent to maintenance. That is, the maintenance may be to increase the points held by the user. In other words, increasing the points associated with the user ID by associating the points with the user ID and the points associated with each other also corresponds to an example of the maintenance. Also, for example, the repair may be to give a game character to the user. That is, it is possible to give a new game character not owned by the user to the user, or to give the game character already possessed by the user to the user, thereby increasing the number of game characters possessed by the user. It may be an example. In other words, increasing the number of game characters associated with the user ID by associating a new game character with the user ID, or associating the game character with the user ID while the user ID and the game character are associated with each other, It may be an example of maintenance. In addition, the repair is not limited to the point or the game character, and various kinds of repair may be set according to the contents of the game. Also, for example, the maintenance may be such that the parameters (parameters other than the points) associated with the user are temporarily or permanently changed to be advantageous for the user. In the present embodiment, the case of increasing the points associated with the user ID corresponds to the repair, will be described as an example.

The " second parameter " is a parameter that affects, for example, good or bad of repair given to the user. For example, it is a parameter related to the content of a payout given to a user. For example, it is a parameter that determines the contents of the maintenance given to the user. For example, when the repair is a point as in the present embodiment, if the parameter affecting the increase / decrease of the amount of applied points is the second parameter and if the repair is a game item or a game character, The parameter of interest is the second parameter. For example, the second parameter may be a parameter indicating the complement itself. Also, for example, the second parameter may be a parameter indicating to what extent the basic payout according to the result of the game is to be changed. In the present embodiment, the case where the basic bonus described later corresponds to the second parameter will be described as an example. In addition, periodic bonuses such as a special bonus, a season bonus, and an event bonus may correspond to an example of the second parameter.

In the present embodiment, a team is formed by a game character acquired by a lottery, and a soccer game in which an opponent team competes is described as an example. Then, the user's team is described as the user team. In addition, although the case where the user operates the game character during the game is explained, the game may be automatically progressed without the user particularly operating the game character. In addition, the user may be allowed to play a match by consuming a point or a coin held by the user, or may play the match at any time without any limitation.

For example, when the game program is started and the user performs a predetermined operation for playing the match from the input unit 14, a list indicating the candidates of the opponent team is displayed on the display unit 15. [ The opponent team may be a user team of another user, or a team prepared by a game provider in advance. When the user selects an opponent team from the list, a team organizing image for organizing the user team is displayed on the display unit 15. [

2 is a diagram showing an example of a team organization image. As shown in Fig. 2, in the team organization image G1, an icon (I) representing a game character designated by the squad among the game characters held by the user is displayed. A squad means a member of a user team, and here, both a member who competes in a match and a member who has the possibility (right) to participate in a match. For example, a squad is meant to include both a starting member from the beginning of a match and a bench member (a standing member) who is likely to be on the way during a match.

In this embodiment, 18 game characters including eleven game characters designated as starting members and seven game characters designated as bench members among the game characters possessed by the user correspond to the squad. Also, the number of bench members is not limited to seven, and an arbitrary number of persons may be designated. For example, in the screen example of Fig. 2, the game character whose icon (I) is displayed on the pitch image G10 that imitates the pitch of the soccer is the starting member, and the game character whose icon , And a bench member.

The user can designate a game character to be put into the squad in the team organizing image G1. For example, the user can change the position among the starting members, or replace the starting member and the bench member by dragging and dropping the icon (I). Also, for example, when the user selects the replacement button B10, the game character included in the squad and the game character not included in the squad can be replaced. Also, for example, even if the user does not designate a squad, the recommended squad may be automatically organized.

Further, detailed information of the game character represented by the icon I selected by the user may be displayed in the team organization image G1. In Fig. 2, the icons I selected by the user are indicated by oblique lines. When the user selects the icon I, the basic information G11, the ability parameter G12, the basic bonus G13, and the bonus G14 for each period are displayed such as the name, position and image of the game character represented by the icon I, Is displayed.

As will be described later in detail, a bonus for increasing the points to be given to the user is associated with the game character after the game ends, and the base bonus G13 and the bonus G14 for each period are examples. The points awarded after the game end are collectively added to the bonuses of the entire squad, so the squad bonus G15 (detailed later) indicating the total value is also displayed in the team organization image G1. Since the squad bonus G15 has a different value depending on the squad, when the user replaces the squad from the team organization image G1, the display is updated in real time.

In addition, in the team organization image G1, setting information G16 such as the formation or operation of the user team is displayed so that the user can set them. The user specifies the game character of each position in the formation being set on the pitch image G10. The user organizes the user team (squad) from the team organizing image G1 and selects the game start button B11, the virtual world representing the soccer field in the game is constructed and the match is started.

3 is a diagram showing an example of a virtual world. As shown in Fig. 3, the Xw axis, the Yw axis and the Zw axis orthogonal to each other are set in the virtual world (W). The positions in the virtual world W are specified by the world coordinate values (coordinate values in the world coordinate system) of these coordinate axes. In the virtual world W, a pitch P, which is a three-dimensional model representing the ground, is disposed. For example, the pitch P is arranged parallel to the Xw-Zw plane.

On the pitch P, various three-dimensional models used in the soccer game are arranged. For example, the game character C1 of the user team, the game character C2 of the opponent team, the ball B, And the like. In this embodiment, any one of the game characters C1 of the user team is set as the operation target of the user. The game character C1 set as the operation target of the user operates based on the user's operation. The game character C1 other than the operation target of the user team and the game character C2 of the opponent team operate based on the algorithm defined in the game program.

In the virtual world W, a virtual camera VC is set. The position and line-of-sight direction of the virtual camera VC may be fixed so as not to change, or may be changed so as to maintain a predetermined relationship with a specific three-dimensional model such as the object to be manipulated by the user or the ball B or the like. When the match starts, a virtual world image showing the virtual world (virtual world) is displayed on the display unit 15 from the virtual camera (VC).

4 is a diagram showing an example of a virtual world image. As shown in FIG. 4, the virtual world image G2 is drawn in the field of view of the virtual camera VC among the virtual worlds W. FIG. The virtual world image G2 may represent a part of the virtual world W or all of the virtual world W. [ The user operates the game character C1 set as the operation target while viewing the virtual world image G2. The progress of the match itself may be executed by a known game program. When the first half of the match is finished, the second half of the match is started after having the half time between. Then, at the end time of the second half, the win or loss of the match is determined based on the score obtained by the user team and the score obtained by the opponent team. In the following description, when there is no particular need to refer to the drawings, symbols such as a game character and a ball are omitted.

When the match ends, the result of the match or a point according to the squad is given to the user. In the present embodiment, game events are held repeatedly, and rankings are given, for example, in accordance with accumulated values (hereinafter referred to as accumulated points) of points given within the holding period of each game event, Or to be paid. For example, a ranking fee is a reward having a relationship with another user. It is important to earn more points than other users because the rankings have a relationship with other users. For example, even if you are a high-level player with a play skill, you need a game character that can get a lot of bonuses in order to reach the top rank. On the other hand, for example, a cumulative point remuneration is a remuneration not having a relationship with another user. Cumulative point remuneration has no relation with other users, so it is important how much the user himself or herself earns points. For example, if you have a game character that is capable of getting a lot of bonuses even if the player has a low level of skill, you can get his or her payoff. On the other hand, if you are a player with a high level of play skill, you can still get your paycheck even if you do not own the game character to get the bonus. Therefore, the user aims to increase the cumulative points by playing the game several times during the holding period of the game event. When the match is over, a point-granted image indicating the point awarded by the match is displayed on the display unit 15. [

5 is a diagram showing an example of a point-granting image. As shown in the pointed image (G3) in Fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the basic points ("59" pt in FIG. 5) and the point increments (&Quot; 1416 " pt obtained by multiplying "59" pt by "24" in FIG. 5) calculated by the squad bonus which is a bonus point 1816 " pt) is determined. Here, the base points are determined on the basis of the result of the match only, and do not depend on the value of the squad bonus. For this reason, the base point may be determined based on the player's play skill as it is, for example, based on the gain in the match or the strength of the opponent team. For example, a play skill is a skill for a user to manipulate a game character, and the higher the play skill is, the higher the probability that the result of the match will be improved. Thus, the play skill is reflected in the base point. For example, in the case where two users use game characters having the same ability parameters, the probability that a user having a skill to manipulate the game character will win is higher, and the probability that the user's base points will increase is increased. In other words, a user having a play skill can cover a disadvantageous ability parameter by his manipulation technique even if a game character having a lower ability parameter than the opponent is used, so that the probability of increasing the number of basic points is increased.

The game character has a basic bonus and a bonus according to the period. The squad bonus is determined based on the bonus of the game character entering the squad and the bonus according to the period. Here, the squad bonus is a value according to the squad regardless of the result of the match. That is, the squad bonus becomes the same value even if the game is won, and it is determined according to which game character is put into the squad. In other words, a squad bonus is a bonus unrelated to a user's play skill. Therefore, even if the user has just started playing the game and there is no play skill of the user, if the high-bonus squad can be organized, it is advantageous in comparison with other users who have a high play skill but have a low bonus squad There is a case. That is, if a user who has just started a game can acquire a game character with a high bonus, it becomes possible to fight against a user who has played the game for a long time but has only acquired a game character with a low bonus. Therefore, even if the user who has just fallen in the play skill such as the user who has just started playing the game can use the points or the items to actively acquire the high-bonus game character, the play skill can be supplemented. In other words, you can replenish your play skill by relying on elements (points, items, etc.) that are different from the play skill.

6 is a diagram showing a bonus that occurs when a certain game character is put into a squad. 6 is a time axis, and each of t1 to t5 is a holding period of a game event. The height of the box of each bonus shown in Fig. 6 indicates the size of the bonus. As shown in Fig. 6, after the user acquires the game character, the basic bonus does not change in principle, regardless of when the player enters the squad. That is, the base bonus is the same value at any time when putting the game character into the squad, and is a constant value bonus that always occurs when the game character is put into the squad.

On the other hand, the bonus for the period varies depending on the time when the game character is put into the squad, whether or not the bonus occurs, and the size of the bonus. In this embodiment, there are prepared three types of bonuses for different periods of time, which are different from each other. Each of them is described as a special bonus, an event bonus, and a season bonus.

The special bonus is a bonus that occurs in the short term. For example, the special bonus occurs only during the period of the game event immediately after the game character is added to the game system 1. Hereinafter, a period in which the special bonus occurs is referred to as a special bonus occurrence period. In the example of Fig. 6, the special bonus generation period is a short period corresponding to the holding period t1. Instead, as shown in Fig. 6, the special bonus may be higher than other bonuses.

An event bonus is a bonus that occurs in the medium term, for example, according to a game event or not. Hereinafter, the period in which the event bonus occurs is referred to as the event bonus occurrence period. In the example of Fig. 6, the event bonus generation period is a period in which the holding periods t1, t2, and t4 are combined. Therefore, the event bonus generation period is longer than the special bonus generation period. In the holding period t3, the event bonus does not occur. As described above, the event bonus generation period may be a set of a plurality of periods spaced apart from each other, instead of one continuous period.

A season bonus is a bonus that occurs in the long run, for example, a period of about six months to one year after the game character is added. Hereafter, the period during which the season bonus occurs is referred to as the season bonus period. In the example of Fig. 6, the season bonus generation period is a period in which the holding periods t1 to t4 are combined. Therefore, the season bonus generation period is longer than the event bonus generation period and is the longest period.

Hereinafter, the special bonus generation period, the event bonus generation period, and the season bonus generation period may be collectively referred to as a bonus generation period. In addition, as described above, since the basic bonus is generated irrespective of the timing in the present embodiment, the bonus generation period may not particularly be present.

As shown in FIG. 6, when a user acquires a game character immediately added to the game system 1 and puts the game character into the squad, there is a possibility that all three bonuses are generated for each period. In this case, in the holding period t1, the bonuses for the three periods are accumulated, and the award points become extremely high. Thereafter, when the time elapses, a special bonus of the game character does not occur. However, as shown in the holding periods t2 to t4, the event bonus occasionally occurs and the season bonus is continuously generated. , The grant point increases in its own way. As time elapses, the season bonus does not occur, only the event bonus occasionally occurs. As shown in the holding period t5, if no event bonus occurs, no bonus is generated for each period, Is generated. As described above, the basic bonus occurs irrespective of the elapse of time, and the bonus per period decreases stepwise with the lapse of time.

The bonus bonuses and bonuses for each period are represented by parameters different from the ability parameters, and do not affect the accuracy of the kick or the speed of the dribble during the match. That is, if the ability parameter is high, the base bonus and the period bonus are not necessarily high. Conversely, if the base bonus or the bonus of the period is high, the movement of the game character is not the agile or the strong shot. For this reason, in order to advance the game advantageously, the user must determine whether the ability parameter is a high squad, whether a squad with a high bonus and period bonus to increase the award points, or a balanced squad, Taking into consideration the skill, I will organize my team while thinking in a comprehensive way. As described above, the game system 1 of the present embodiment mainly has the first configuration relating to the basic bonus and the second configuration relating to the bonus per period. Hereinafter, the details of the first configuration and the second configuration will be described.

[3. Functions realized in the game system]

Fig. 7 is a functional block diagram showing the functions related to the present invention among the functions realized in the game system 1. Fig. In the present embodiment, mainly, a case where data relating to a game is managed by the server 30 and main processing relating to the game is executed in the user terminal 10 will be described.

[3-1. Functions realized on the server]

First, functions realized in the server 30 will be described. In the server 30, mainly the data storage unit 300 and the game character adding unit 301 are realized.

[Data storage unit]

The data storage unit 300 is realized mainly by the storage unit 32. [ The data storage unit 300 stores data necessary for executing the game. In the present embodiment, the grant candidate database DB1, the user database DB2, and the event database DB3 will be described as an example of data stored in the data storage unit 300. FIG.

8 is a diagram showing an example of the grant candidate database DB1. As shown in Fig. 8, the grant candidate database DB1 stores data on game characters registered in the game system 1 as grant candidates. The "grant candidate" is, for example, a candidate to be given to the user. Registering a game character as a grant candidate can be also referred to as registering a game character as a distribution target. The distribution target is a state in which the server 30 can deliver the game character to the user terminal 10. For example, a game character is betrayed by lottery (so-called drawing) or gift. In addition, in order to perform lottery, a predetermined condition is set, and the lottery can not be performed by the user unlimitedly. This condition may be the use of the user's point or item (so-called drawing right) for the lottery, or the paid item purchased by the user. The probability that each game character is selected may be set individually or may be set for each attribute of the game character (belonging league, etc.). For example, a game character with a higher ability parameter or bonus may be set to have a lower probability. The game character of the squad is given to the user among a plurality of game characters registered as grant candidates. As described above, a lot is awarded to the user among the game characters registered in the grant candidate database DB1. Therefore, the grant candidate database DB1 can be regarded as master data of all game characters existing in the game.

For example, in the grant candidate database DB1, basic information of the game character is stored in association with the game character ID uniquely identifying the game character of the grant candidate. The basic information of the game character includes, for example, a name, a version, a basic position, an attribute, an overall value, an ability parameter, and a basic bonus of the game character.

The version is information indicating the registration time (additional time) of the game character. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that a game character representing a person is repeatedly registered as a new game character by changing a parameter or an image. For example, when the game character imitates a soccer player in the real world, a game character representing the same soccer player as the registered game character is regularly registered as a game character of the other version. Therefore, the version may be referred to as information for identifying a game character representing a soccer player at a certain point in time.

For example, if there are two seasons a year in a soccer league in the real world, the timing of adding the game characters may be set twice a year, according to the season. For example, a game character may be added every year in the summer (for example, April to September) and the winter (for example, October to March) every year as two additional times of year. In this case, for each soccer player, a summer version of the game character and a winter version of the game character are present each year. For example, the ability parameter of the game character may be set to indicate activity or state in the real world at that time. The addition timing of the game character is not limited to the above example, and may be added every month or may be added every week. Also, for example, the timing of adding the game character may be arbitrary, and may not be regular. For example, it may be irregularly added when a soccer event is held in the real world.

The basic position is a position that the game character specializes, and at least one of a plurality of positions is set. The attribute indicates, for example, a property or a classification of a game character, and describes a case where the player belongs to a club, belonging league, belonging region, nationality, age or the like in the real world. Also, what is used as an attribute is not limited to the example of Fig. 8, and the basic position may be used as an attribute, or gender or the like may be used as an attribute. The attribute may be any information capable of classifying the game character. In addition, the attribute may be rare (rare) of the game character or may be used as an attribute, which will be described later. The aggregate value is a parameter that allows the user to see the height of the comprehensive ability at once. The overall value is calculated by substituting the ability parameter, which will be described later, into a predetermined formula.

The ability parameter is, for example, a value indicating good or bad operation in a virtual world, and is a value indicating the height of the athletic performance as a soccer player. For example, the ability parameter may include a stamina parameter relating to the physical strength, a speed parameter relating to the moving speed, a shooting parameter relating to the precision of the shot, a defense parameter relating to the defense technique, a physical parameter relating to the strength of the trunk, A dribble parameter relating to a dribble technique, and a saving parameter relating to a technique as a keeper. The ability parameters are represented by numerical values or symbols representing the height of each of these abilities.

For example, the ability parameter may be changed after the game character is given to the user, or may not be changed. When the capability parameter changes, the capability parameter stored in the grant candidate database DB1 indicates an initial value. In the case where the ability parameter changes, it may be changed according to the game character in the game, or may be changed by the user performing a predetermined breeding operation or obtaining experience points in the game. In addition, for example, the ability parameters may be changed by synthesis performed by consuming other game characters. In the present embodiment, for the sake of simplicity of explanation, a case in which the ability parameter does not change after the game character is given to the user will be described.

The basic bonus of each game character stored in the grant candidate database DB1 is a parameter indicating the increment of the granted point by the basic bonus (that is, the size of the basic bonus), and is represented by numerical value or symbol. As shown in Fig. 8, the case where the basic bonus is a value unique to the game character is explained, but a common basic bonus may be used by a plurality of game characters. Like the ability parameter, the basic bonus may be changed after the game character is given to the user, or may not be changed. Here, it is assumed that the basic bonus does not change. Therefore, if the same game character is given to any user, the basic bonus will not change.

9 is a diagram showing an example of the user database DB2. As shown in Fig. 9, the user database DB2 stores data relating to all users who have registered to use the game. For example, in the user database DB2, user registration information, user parameters related to the user, and user's squad data DT3 are stored in association with the user ID. In the registration information, contents entered by the user at the time of use registration are stored, and for example, the user's name, mail address, avatar image, favorite football team, and the like are stored. User parameters are stored in the user parameters, for example, cumulative points in the game events during the holding, rankings, in-game calls held, and the like are stored. The details of the squad data DT3 will be described later.

10 is a diagram showing an example of the event database DB3. As shown in Fig. 10, the event database DB3 stores data relating to game events held in the game system 1. For example, the event database DB3 is associated with a season ID that uniquely identifies a season over a holding period of a plurality of game events, and individually for each season period, each game event held during the season The event ID for identifying, the name of the game event, the holding period, and bonus data DT1 for each period. The period of each season may be a period having a certain length, a common length in all the seasons, or a length in each season. Here, one season is divided into two, and the season from April to September of the certain year and the season from October of the year to March of the next year are set. For example, the season may be set to correspond to an additional timing of the game character. The holding period of the game event may be a period having a predetermined length, may be a common length in all game events, or may be different in length for each game event. The holding period of the game event may be continuously set so as not to be between the next game event, but it may be empty between the holding period of the next game event. For example, like the event N and the event O shown in Fig. 10, the holding period may not be continuous.

The bonus data DT1 for each period is an example of effect data per period according to the present invention, and is data defining the bonus generation period and the contents of the bonus for each period associated with each game character. In this embodiment, there are three periodic bonuses of a special bonus, an event bonus, and a season bonus. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, bonus data DT1 for each period has three bonus generation periods and contents do.

For example, in the bonus data DT1 for each period, the game character ID where the special bonus occurs and the size of the special bonus are stored during the holding period of each game event. The size of the special bonus is indicated, for example, by numerical value or symbol. As shown in Fig. 10, in this embodiment, the size of the special bonus differs depending on the game character ID, but the size of the special bonus may not be different depending on the game character ID in particular. Here, since a certain game character ID is specified only in one holding period, the special bonus generation period is only a holding period of any one game event, and is a relatively short period. In addition, a game character to which a special bonus is generated may be a game character added as an object immediately before the game character. The special bonus generation period may be a plurality of holding periods or may be a period that is not related to the holding period. This also applies to the event bonus generation period. In addition, as in the event O shown in Fig. 10, there may be a game event in which no special bonus occurs.

For example, in the bonus data DT1 for each period, the attribute in which the event bonus occurs and the size of the event bonus are stored during the holding period of each game event. The size of the event bonus is indicated, for example, by numerical value or symbol. As shown in Fig. 10, in the present embodiment, although the size of the event bonus differs depending on the attribute, the size of the event bonus may not differ depending on the attribute in particular. In addition, not only one attribute but also a plurality of attributes may be specified as the occurrence condition of the event bonus as shown in FIG. Therefore, depending on the game character, these plural attributes may coincide with each other. In this case, the event bonuses may be generated cumulatively. However, in this embodiment, only the highest event bonus becomes valid. In addition, event bonuses are occasionally generated according to the conditions set for each event. For example, the event bonus may be a medium bonus that occurs for a longer period than the special bonus, and occurs for a shorter period than the season bonus. For example, if the event is held in Italy between 10 and 14 days of the month, if the event occurs in Italy, or if the age is 30 or older, the event is longer than a single event, An event bonus can be generated in the game.

Also, for example, in the bonus data DT1 for each period, the version of the game character in which the season bonus occurs and the size of the season bonus are stored in each season. The size of the season bonus is indicated, for example, by numerical value or symbol. As shown in Fig. 10, in a certain holding period, a version in which a season bonus occurs may be not only one but also a plurality of versions may be specified. In this case, the same season bonus may be generated for these plural versions, but as shown in Fig. 10, the new version may have a larger season bonus than the old version. That is, the season bonus of the game character may be gradually decreased with time. In the case of the data storage example of FIG. 10, since the season bonus generation period is related to the season ID, not the individual event ID, the season bonus occurs throughout the entire season. Therefore, the period of each season can be said to indicate the season bonus occurrence period. Even if there is a gap in the holding period of the event, such as between the event N and the event O, a season bonus occurs during the period. That is, on April 8, 2016 and April 9, 2016, the period between the event N and the event O, a special bonus and event bonus do not occur, and only the season bonus is generated. The season bonus generation period is relatively long.

The data stored in the data storage unit 300 is not limited to the above example. For example, other data may be included in the grant candidate database DB1, or data such as an additional date and time of the game character may be stored. Further, for example, the user database DB2 may contain other data, or may store data such as the history of the accumulated points in the past game events or the history of the past granted points. Further, for example, the event database DB3 may contain other data, or may store data indicating a payout (game item, etc.) according to a given point for each game event. For example, the bonus data DT1 for each period may not be stored as data in the event database DB3 but may be managed as data separate from the event database DB3. For example, the data storage unit 300 may store data other than the above-described data.

[Game character addition section]

The game character adding unit 301 is realized mainly by the control unit 31. [ The game character adding unit 301 adds a new game character as a candidate to be given. In other words, the game character adding unit 301 adds the data on the game character to be the new grant candidate to the grant candidate database DB1. The game character adding unit 301 may acquire data on a game character to be a new candidate from the terminal or the like of the game creator through the communication unit 13 or may be an information storage medium or the like directly connected to the server 30 . This data is created in accordance with the data format of the grant candidate database DB1, and it is assumed that the ability parameters and basic bonuses of the newly added game character are set.

For example, as a function related to the first configuration, the game character adding unit 301 adds a new game character associated with a basic bonus that can be given more rewards than a plurality of game characters registered as a grant candidate, as a grant candidate do. The game character adding unit 301 increases the base bonus of the game character newly added to the game character more than the basic bonus of the game character registered as the grant candidate. In other words, the game character adding section 301 determines that a game character to be newly added is used rather than a case in which a registered game character is used, a game character to which a base bonus to which more points are given to the user , It is added as a grant candidate.

Further, for example, as a function relating to the second configuration, the game character adding unit 301 adds a bonus data DT1 for each period, which represents an effect in a subsequent period to a plurality of game characters registered as grant candidates, Add the character as a grant candidate. The " later period " is a new period in time, and is a future period. The game character adding unit 301 rearranges a time period at which a bonus for each period of a newly added game character occurs, as compared with a time when a bonus for each period of the registered game character is registered as a grant candidate. In other words, the game character adding unit 301 newly adds a game character in which a bonus for each period occurs, even in a period in which a bonus for each period of the registered game character does not occur. Therefore, the bonus data DT1 for each period corresponding to the holding period after the additional timing stores the game character ID, attribute, and version of the game character newly added by the game character adding unit 301, The bonus for the period is generated in preference to the character of the character whose registration is completed.

[3-2. Functions realized in the user terminal]

Next, functions realized in the user terminal 10 will be described. Hereinafter, the functions of the user terminal 10 related to the first configuration will be described after describing the functions of the user terminal 10 according to the first configuration.

[3-2-1. Function Related to First Configuration]

First, functions related to the first configuration will be described. In the first configuration, mainly the data storage unit 100, the parameter acquisition unit 101, the operation control unit 102, the display control unit 103, the operation reception unit 104, the result acquisition unit 105, 106 are realized in the user terminal 10.

[Data storage unit]

The data storage unit 100 is realized mainly by the storage unit 12. [ Although the data storage unit 100 of the user terminal 10 and the data storage unit 300 of the server 30 are common in that data necessary for executing the game is stored, The data storage unit 100 of the user terminal 10 stores only data related to the user operating the user terminal 10 while the storage unit 100 stores data related to the entire user , These are different. Here, the retained character data DT2, the squad data DT3, and the game situation data DT4 are described as the data stored in the data storage unit 100. FIG.

11 is a diagram showing an example of the retained character data DT2. As shown in Fig. 11, the retained character data DT2 is data relating to a game character held by the user who operates the user terminal 10. [ That is, the retained character data DT2 stores information on the game character assigned to the user among the game characters stored in the grant candidate database DB1. For example, in the retained character data DT2, basic information of the game character is stored in association with the game character ID. Each item of the basic information stored in the retained character data DT2 is the same as the item of the basic information stored in the grant candidate database DB1. However, if the parameter changes after being given to the user, the items of the basic information stored in the grant candidate database DB1 , The latest value is stored. For example, when the game character is made capable of being cultivated, the ability parameter and the base bonus are the latest values.

12 is a diagram showing an example of the squad data DT3. As shown in Fig. 12, the squad data DT3 is data on the user's squad. For example, in the squad data DT3, formation, operation, information on the starting member, information on the bench member, and the like of the user team are stored. As the information on the starting member, for example, the game character ID of the starting member, its position, and the like are stored. As the information on the bench member, for example, the game character ID of the bench member is stored. Since the user organizes the squad among the game characters possessed by the user, the game character ID stored in the squad data DT3 is determined from the game character IDs stored in the retained character data DT2.

The squad data DT3 of each user terminal 10 is uploaded to the server 30 at a predetermined timing and stored in the user database DB2. Therefore, the squad data DT3 of each user terminal 10 and the squad data DT3 stored in the user database DB2 of the server 30 are consistent. The squad data DT3 stored in the user database DB2 of the server 30 may be referred to when determining the opponent team.

13 is a diagram showing an example of the game situation data DT4. As shown in Fig. 13, the game situation data DT4 is data relating to the situation of the game. The game situation data DT4 is generated when the match starts and is updated as the match progresses. As shown in FIG. 13, in the game situation data DT4, information indicating the current state of the virtual world and information indicating the current situation are stored. For example, in the present state of the virtual world, the game character of the user team, the game character of the opponent team, and the current position and the moving direction of the ball are stored. For example, in the game situation data DT4, information for identifying a game character set as a user's operation target is stored. Further, for example, in the information indicating the battlefield, the score of the user team, the score of the opponent team, and the remaining time or elapsed time of the match are stored.

The data stored in the data storage unit 100 is not limited to the above example. For example, the retained character data DT2 may include other information, or may be stored if the new character ID is redefined each time the game character is given to the user. That is, when the same game character is assigned to a plurality of users, or when a single user can acquire a plurality of identical game characters, individual game characters may be identifiable by their IDs. Further, for example, the squad data DT3 may include other information, or may store the ability parameters of the starting member and the bench member. In addition, for example, the game situation data DT4 may include other information, may include the level of the opponent team or the ability parameters of the game character, or may be stored in the game character data of the game character The game character ID may be stored. Further, for example, the data storage unit 100 may store data other than the above-described data, or may leave the game situation data DT4 as a history in a time series. For example, the data storage unit 100 may store motion data that defines the operation of the game character. For example, the data storage unit 100 may store three-dimensional model data, texture image data, and the like arranged in a virtual space.

[Parameter acquisition section]

The parameter acquisition unit 101 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The parameter acquiring unit 101 acquires an ability parameter associated with the game character that affects the operation of the game character in the virtual world in which the game is performed and a basic bonus that affects the payout associated with the user ID do. The parameter obtaining unit 101 obtains the ability parameter and the base bonus by referring to the retained character data DT2 stored in the data storage unit 100. [

The timing at which the parameter acquisition section 101 acquires the capability parameters may differ from the timing at which the basic bonus is acquired, and it is not necessary to acquire them at the same time. That is, the parameter acquisition unit 101 may have a function of acquiring the ability parameters and a function of acquiring the basic bonus. The parameter acquisition unit 101 acquires the capability parameters when necessary in the processing of the operation control unit 102, It is only necessary to acquire the basic bonus when necessary in the process of the processing section 106. Further, the parameter acquisition unit 101 may acquire parameters other than the ability parameter and the basic bonus.

[Operation Control Section]

The operation control unit 102 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The operation control unit 102 operates the game character in the virtual world based on the ability parameters associated with the game character acquired by the parameter acquisition unit 101 when the game character is operated in the virtual world. In other words, the operation control unit 102 causes the game character to perform an action according to the ability parameter of the game character. For example, the operation control unit 102 operates the game character at a speed, an intensity, or a precision determined based on the capability parameter. For example, the operation control unit 102 may determine whether or not a predetermined operation is successful based on the capability parameter. In this case, the higher the capability parameter, the higher the probability that the operation succeeds, and the lower the capability parameter, the lower the probability that the operation succeeds.

For example, the operation control unit 102 moves the game character at a speed determined based on the stamina parameter or the speed parameter. In addition, for example, the operation control section 102 shoots the ball to the game character with the strength and precision determined based on the shooting parameter. Further, for example, the operation control unit 102 takes out the ball from the game character of the opponent team with an accuracy determined based on the defense parameter. Further, for example, the operation control unit 102 makes the game character contact the game character of the opponent team at an intensity determined based on the physical parameter. For example, the operation control unit 102 passes the ball to the game character with the precision determined based on the path parameter. For example, the operation control unit 102 allows the game character to dribble at a speed and precision determined based on the dribble parameter. Further, for example, the operation control unit 102 catches or punches the ball to the game character with the precision determined based on the saving parameter.

In this embodiment, since any one of the game characters of the user team is set as the operation target, the operation control unit 102 controls the operation of the game character set as the operation target based on the ability of the game character (Or the game character may be operated in the virtual world on the basis of the user's operation and the ability parameter associated with the game character) in the virtual world based on the parameter. The game character can perform a plurality of kinds of operations, and the correspondence relationship between the operation contents and the operation may be described in advance in the game program, or may be stored in the data storage unit 100 as data in the form of an equation or a table . In this correspondence relation, each of a plurality of types of operations and a plurality of types of operations are associated with each other. The operation control unit 102 controls the operation based on the ability parameters of the game character so that the game character performs an operation related to the operation of the user.

The operation control unit 102 also controls not only the game character set as the operation target but also the operation of game characters other than the operation target. The operation control unit 102 controls the operation of game characters other than the operation target based on the ability parameters of the game character and the predetermined algorithm. For example, the operation control unit 102 may control each part of the game character on the basis of the motion data stored in the data storage unit 100, for example, It may be made to move.

In addition, as described above, since the ability parameter is a separate parameter separated from the basic bonus, the operation control unit 102 can not operate the game character in the virtual world, not based on the basic bonus associated with the game character do. &Quot; Not based on the base bonus " means that the action (e.g., speed, intensity, precision, or success) of the game character does not change regardless of the value of the base bonus. In other words, the operation control unit 102 does not refer to the basic bonus in the process of determining the operation of the game character. That is, the basic bonus does not affect the operation of the game character.

[Display Control Section]

The display control unit 103 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The display control unit 103 causes the display unit 15 to display a virtual world image G2 indicating the virtual world in which the game is performed. In this embodiment, since the virtual world is a three-dimensional space, the display control unit 103 generates a virtual world image G2 indicating the appearance of the virtual camera in the field of view. For example, the display control unit 103 can display the three-dimensional coordinates of the vertices of the three-dimensional model in the field of view of the virtual camera, Performs a predetermined matrix transformation process and converts it into two-dimensional coordinates, thereby generating a virtual world image G2 and causing the display unit 15 to display the virtual world image G2. When the virtual world is expressed in a two-dimensional plane, the display control unit 103 may display the entire virtual world as a virtual world image G2, and may display an image obtained by cutting out a part of the virtual world as a virtual world image G2 ).

[Operation Reception Section]

The operation accepting section 104 is realized mainly by the control section 11. [ The operation accepting unit 104 accepts an operation by the user while the virtual world image G2 is displayed on the display unit 15. [ The user can perform a plurality of kinds of operations, and the operation accepting unit 104 specifies the operation performed by the user based on the detection signal of the input unit 14. [ A variety of known methods can be applied to the method of specifying the contents of the operation itself, and may be determined according to the type of the input device employed in the input unit 14. [ For example, in the case of employing a pointing device such as a touch panel as the input unit 14, the operation accepting unit 104 may specify the user's operation based on the coordinate information detected by the input unit 14. [ For example, in the case of employing a game controller having an input member such as a button or a lever as the input unit 14, the operation accepting unit 104 may be configured to select, based on a detection signal indicating a pressing state of each input member, .

[Result acquisition unit]

The result acquiring unit 105 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The result acquiring unit 105 acquires the result of the game obtained by operating the game character. The "result of the game" is the content of the game or the win or loss. For example, the result of the game acquired by the result acquisition unit 105 changes according to the action taken by the game character. Also, for example, in a competitive game, the result of the game may be the strength, the level, or the capacity of the opponent in the finished game. Also, for example, the result of the game may be a score obtained in a match or a gain in a match.

For example, the result acquiring unit 105 acquires the game result based on the game situation data DT4. For example, the result acquiring unit 105 refers to the game situation data DT4 at the end of the match to specify the score of the user team and the opponent team, or specifies the profit / loss ratio of the user team, The result may be acquired. For example, the result acquiring unit 105 may acquire the result of the game by specifying the action taken by the game character with reference to the time-series change of the game situation data DT4. For example, the result acquiring unit 105 may acquire the game result by referring to the level or ability parameter of the opponent team at the start of the match.

Further, in the present embodiment, "to operate the game character" means that the game character is in the game and actually operates in the virtual world. On the other hand, as will be described later, when "the game character is used" is described, it is assumed that the game character actually operates in the virtual world (for example, Quot; means at least one or both of being selected as a possible game character (e.g., selected as a bench member). That is, for example, the squad bonus may be determined based on both the base bonus and the period bonus of both the starting member and the bench member, or the squad bonus may be determined based on either the basic bonus or the period bonus of either the starting member or the bench member . For this reason, in the present embodiment, the meaning indicated by " operating the game character " and the meaning indicated by " the game character is used "

[Maintenance decision part]

The maintenance determination unit 106 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The maintenance determination unit 106 determines the granted point based on the basic bonus associated with the game character acquired by the parameter acquisition unit 101, provided that the game character is used.

As used herein, the term " the game character is used " means that, for example, a game character is used in a virtual world (actually operated in a virtual world) and a game character It is meant to include. For example, a game character associated with the user ID (in other words, a game character held by the user) may be selected as an object to be operated in the virtual world or a candidate thereof. This selection may be made by the user himself or may be automatically selected by the computer under a predetermined condition. For example, in the competition game, the player may actually participate in the match, or may be selected as a game character who is likely to enter the match during the match. In other words, the possibility of not operating in the virtual world at the start of the game (for example, without traveling at the start of the game) and operating in the virtual world during the game (for example, A game character having the same name as the game character. Further, it is not necessary to become a game character actually operating in the virtual world until the game ends. That is, it is selected as a game character that is likely to be used in the virtual world, but it does not need to actually operate in the virtual world. For example, in the case of a sports game as described in the embodiment, it is selected as a starting member or a bench member. It may be selected as a bench member, and the match may be ended without actually participating in the match. In this embodiment, a game character is used to put a game character in a squad. Therefore, when the game character is put into the squad, the condition that the game character is used is satisfied.

The maintenance determining unit 106 determines whether or not the game character can be used by determining whether or not the game character ID is stored based on the squad data DT3. The maintenance determining unit 106 determines the grant point based on the base bonus of the game character that satisfies the condition, instead of being based on the base bonus of the game character that does not satisfy this condition. In other words, in determining the grant point, the repair determining unit 106 refers to only the basic bonus of the squad, not the basic bonus of the game character, not the squad. In other words, the bonus point determined by the repair determining unit 106 does not vary depending on the basic bonus of the game character but the squad, but changes depending on the value of the basic bonus of the squad.

In addition, in the game of the present embodiment, at least one of the plurality of game characters is used, and each of the plurality of game characters is associated with a basic bonus having a value peculiar to the game character, Based on a base bonus having at least one game character-specific value used in the bonus point. The " inherent value " means that a value is determined for each game character, and the game character and the parameter have a one-to-one relationship. Since the parameters are prepared for each game character, the maintenance determining unit 106 does not use a common parameter in a game character other than a certain game character.

In addition, in the game of the present embodiment, since a plurality of game characters are used, the repair determining unit 106 acquires the squad bonus based on the base bonus of each of the plurality of game characters, and calculates the award point based on the squad bonus . The squad bonus is one parameter obtained by substituting a plurality of basic bonuses into a predetermined formula, and is an example of a third parameter related to the first configuration. It is assumed that the relational expression of the basic bonus and the squad bonus is stored in the data storage unit 100. This relationship is defined as a formula that calculates the squad bonus by assigning a base bonus. The more basic bonuses, the greater the squad bonus, and the smaller the base bonus, the less squad bonus is defined.

Here, as an example of the relational expression, the following expressions (1) and (2) will be described. Equation 1 is for calculating a personal bonus indicating the degree to which an individual squad affects the bonus increase, and Equation 2 is for calculating a squad bonus for the entire squad from the individual bonus of each squad. Each of the special bonuses, the event bonuses and the season bonuses in Equation 1 are calculated by the effect generating unit 112 of the second constitution described later only when they occur. Also, the starting member bench adjustment coefficient of Equation 1 is a different coefficient depending on whether it is a starting member or a bench member, and the starting member is higher than the bench member. In the present embodiment, the case where the bonus increment is made different between the starting member and the bench member will be described, but the same treatment can be applied without weighting them.

[Formula 1] Personal Bonus = Comprehensive Value * Basic Bonus * Special Bonus * Event Bonus * Season Bonus * Starting Member Bench Adjustment Coefficient

[Formula 2] Squad Bonus = total value of individual bonuses of individual game characters of the squad / predetermined value

The personal bonus may be determined based on only the bonus of the game character or the bonus of each period. However, in calculating the personal bonus, as in the above formula 1, not only the bonus for the basic bonus and the bonus for each period but also the total value of the ability parameters may be considered . In other words, rather than simply determining the bonus of the game character with the bonus associated with the game character, the ability parameter may be considered to some extent. Also, in this case, the influence of the comprehensive value on the personal bonus may be smaller than the effect of the bonus for each basic bonus or period, on the personal bonus. In this embodiment, the case in which the overall value of the ability parameters affects the personal bonus to some extent as in Equation (1) is described, and therefore the compensation determining unit 106 determines the grant point based on the ability parameter and the base bonus . In this case, the capability parameter may affect the grant point. For example, the relationship between the capability parameter, the base bonus, and the grant point may be stored in the data storage unit 100. [ This relation is not limited to Equation (1) above, but it is only required that the higher the capability parameter is, the higher the grant point is, and the lower the capability parameter is, the lower the grant point is. The maintenance determination unit 106 acquires a grant point associated with the ability parameter and the base bonus.

As described above, in this embodiment, the repair determining unit 106 multiplies the squad bonus calculated as described above by the base point corresponding to the game result, so that the repair determining unit 106 determines whether or not the basic bonus Based on the result of the game and the game result. For example, the repair determining unit 106 determines a bonus point based on a result of a game, and determines a bonus point by changing a basic bonus based on the bonus bonus. &Quot; Basic payout " is a payout determined according to the result of the game. The relationship between the result of the game and the basic pay is determined in advance by a formula or a table. In the present embodiment, a case where the basic points correspond to basic repairs will be described.

The method by which the repair determining unit 106 determines the grant point based on the result of the game is not limited to the method of changing the base point. For example, as in the present embodiment, the complement determining unit 106 may determine the granted point by further changing a value determined based on the base point and the squad bonus. Also, for example, the repair determining unit 106 may not calculate a basic point. For example, the relationship between the game result, the base bonus, and the grant point may be stored in the data storage unit 100. [ In this relational expression, if the result of the game is a predetermined result, it is sufficient that the grant point is defined to be higher than when the result of the game is not a predetermined result. The maintenance determination unit 106 acquires a granted point associated with the game result and the base bonus. Further, the payout determination unit 106 may determine the grant point based on the squad bonus, not specifically based on the game result. In this case, if the squad is the same, regardless of the result of the game, it becomes the same grant point.

[3-2-2. Function Related to Second Configuration]

Next, functions related to the second configuration will be described. In the second configuration, the data storage unit 100, the data acquisition unit 107, the period specification unit 108, the period attribute acquisition unit 109, the game character attribute acquisition unit 110, the attribute determination unit 111 ), The effect generating unit 112 and the effect changing unit 113 are realized. The functions similar to those of the first configuration are not described here, and functions different from the first configuration will be described.

[Data storage unit]

The data relating to the second configuration may be the same as those described in the first configuration. Therefore, the function of the data storage unit 100 relating to the second configuration may be the same as the function described in the first configuration.

[Data Acquisition Unit]

The data acquisition unit 107 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The data acquisition unit 107 acquires bonus data DT1 for each period, which represents a plurality of effects respectively associated with a plurality of bonus generation periods having different lengths, which are associated with the game character. The bonus data DT1 for each period is stored as a part of the data in the event database DB3 so that the data acquisition unit 107 stores the bonus data DT1 in the event database DB3 to obtain the bonus data DT1 for each period in the event database DB3.

The bonus generation period may be, for example, from a certain point to a point later than the point in time. The point of view here may be a moment in the real world or a moment in the virtual world in the game. Also, for example, the bonus generation period does not need to be a continuous period, and may be empty on the way. In other words, it may include a plurality of periods in which there is a temporal difference, such as an event bonus generation period. Further, for example, the number of bonus generation periods may be two or more, and is not limited to the same set as the present embodiment. For example, the number of bonus generation periods may be common to all the game characters, and the number of bonus generation periods may be different depending on the game character. In addition, each bonus generation period may be different in length from at least one other bonus generation period.

The term " effect " means that the user is advantageous in the game. For example, the effect may be to improve maintenance. Also, for example, in the case where the payout is a game call within a game such as a point, the increase in points to be awarded may correspond to the improvement in payoff. Also, for example, if the payout is a game item, the value of the game item to be awarded may be equivalent to the payoff being improved. Further, for example, it may be equivalent to an effect that becomes advantageous during execution of a game. In this case, for example, the ability of the game character may be increased, or the special ability may be activated. In the present embodiment, each of the plurality of effects will be described as an effect that affects the maintenance associated with the identification information of the user. For this, a plurality of bonuses for each period are associated with the game character as described with reference to Fig.

[Period Specified Department]

The period specifying unit 108 is realized mainly by the control unit 31. [ The period specifying unit 108 specifies a bonus generation period including a game execution point out of a plurality of bonus generation periods.

The " execution point of the game " is the point in time when the game is executed. For example, it may be a time to execute a process for starting a game, or may be a time before the game actually starts, an arbitrary time from the start of the game until the end of the game, , Or may be the time to evaluate the game content after the game ends. The process for starting a game is a process for setting a game, for example, a process of selecting a character to be used in a game, or a process of selecting an opponent of a game. For example, when a screen for guiding the effect of the bonus generation period to the game character is displayed before the start of the game, it may be the time to display the screen. In other words, the execution time may be, for example, a time point at which the period specifying unit 108 executes processing for specifying the bonus generation period.

The data for specifying the bonus generation period by the period specification unit 108 may be stored in the data storage unit 100. Here, a case of using bonus data DT1 for each period will be described. For example, the period specifying unit 108 determines whether or not the current game point is a special bonus generation period by determining whether the game character ID of each game character included in the squad is stored in the bonus data DT1 for each period. For example, the period specifying unit 108 determines whether or not the current point is the event bonus generation period by determining whether or not the attribute of each game character included in the squad is stored in the bonus data DT1 for each period. For example, the period specifying unit 108 determines whether or not the current point is the season bonus generation period by determining whether the version of each game character included in the squad is stored in the bonus data DT1 for each period.

The method of specifying the bonus generation period by the period specifying unit 108 is not limited to the above example. The specific method may be changed according to the data format for specifying each bonus generation period. For example, as in the present embodiment, when data defining each bonus generation period is prepared for each game character instead of preparing bonus data DT1 for each game event holding period, the period specification unit 108 ) May determine the bonus generation period by determining whether the current point is within the period defined in the data concerned.

[Period attribute acquisition unit]

The period attribute acquisition unit 109 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The period attribute acquisition unit 109 acquires at least one of a plurality of attributes associated with a predetermined period corresponding to at least one of the plurality of bonus generation periods.

Corresponds to at least one of two or more bonus generation periods, for example, corresponding to at least one of a plurality of bonus generation periods. Incidentally, the term " the bonus generation period corresponds " may be, for example, a part or all of which coincides in terms of time. In other words, among the plurality of bonus generation periods that can be specified by the bonus data DT1 for each period, the bonus generation period is designated as a bonus generation period in which a bonus is generated according to the attribute.

The term " predetermined period " is a predetermined period of time, and may be a period of the same length as any one of the " plurality of bonus generation periods ", or may be periods of different lengths. In the present embodiment, a case where the holding period of the game event is a predetermined period will be described. Since the holding period of each game event corresponds to the occurrence period of the event bonus generated according to the attribute associated with the holding period, in this embodiment, the event bonus generation period corresponds to the holding period of the game event.

In addition, since a plurality of attributes are associated with the game event, the period attribute acquisition unit 109 acquires a plurality of attributes associated with the game event holding period. In the present embodiment, the period attribute acquisition unit 109 acquires a plurality of attributes by referring to the bonus data DT1 for each period. In addition, only one attribute may be associated with the holding period of the game event. In this case, the period attribute acquisition unit 109 acquires one attribute associated with the holding period.

[Game character attribute acquisition unit]

The game character attribute acquisition unit 110 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The game character attribute acquisition unit 110 acquires at least one of a plurality of attributes associated with the game character. For example, the game character attribute acquisition unit 110 acquires the attribute of the game character by referring to the retained character data DT2. In this embodiment, since the game character is associated with a plurality of attributes, the game character attribute acquisition unit 110 acquires a plurality of attributes associated with the game character. In addition, only one attribute may be associated with the game character. In this case, the game character attribute acquisition unit 110 acquires one attribute associated with the game character.

[Attribute Provisional Government]

The attribute determination unit 111 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The attribute determination unit 111 determines whether the attribute acquired by the duration attribute acquisition unit 109 matches the attribute acquired by the game character attribute acquisition unit 110. [ The attribute determination unit 111 compares the attribute acquired by the duration attribute acquisition unit 109 with the attribute acquired by the game character attribute acquisition unit 110 and determines whether at least one of them matches. For example, when the attribute is represented by a parameter, the attribute determination unit 111 determines whether the value acquired by the duration attribute acquisition unit 109 matches the value acquired by the game character attribute acquisition unit 110 .

[Effect Generation Section]

The effect generating unit 112 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The effect generating unit 112 generates the effect generating unit 112 with the data obtaining unit 107 corresponding to the bonus generation period specified by the period specifying unit 108 and associated with the game character on condition that the game character is used And generates a bonus for each period indicated by the acquired effect data for each period.

The effect generating unit 112 does not generate a bonus that does not correspond to the bonus generation period specified by the period specifying unit 108 out of the bonuses of the period related to the game character, A bonus corresponding to the bonus generation period is generated. In other words, the effect generating unit 112 invalidates the bonus that does not correspond to the bonus generation period specified by the period specifying unit 108, among the bonuses for the period related to the game character, and invalidates the bonus by the period specifying unit 108 The bonus corresponding to the specified bonus generation period is validated.

In the present embodiment, since each of the plurality of bonus generation periods is a period overlapping with each other, when a plurality of bonus generation periods are specified by the period specification unit 108, the effect generation unit 112 generates a plurality And a bonus for each period corresponding to each bonus generation period of the game. The term " overlapping period " means that a part or all of a certain period overlaps with some or all of the other periods. "Multiple occurrences" means that a plurality of effects occur simultaneously. In other words, a plurality of effects are cumulative. That is, the effect generating unit 112 makes all the bonuses for each period corresponding to each of the plurality of bonus generation periods specified by the period specifying unit 108 valid.

In addition, in the game of the present embodiment, at least one of the plurality of game characters is used, and each of the plurality of game characters is associated with bonus data DT1 for each period indicating the effect specific to the game character, 112) generates at least one game character specific effect used in the game. The " inherent effect " is an effect determined for each game character. In other words, the data defining the effect is prepared for each game character, and the common data is not used by any game characters and other game characters.

When at least one bonus generation period (in this case, an event bonus generation period) is specified by the period specifying unit 108 in the game period of the game event, the effect generation unit 112 generates the attribute determination unit 111, Based on the determination result of the determination unit, the bonus for each period corresponding to the at least one bonus generation period. For example, the effect generating unit 112 may generate an event bonus only when the attributes match, and when the attributes match, the effect generating unit 112 may generate an event bonus An event bonus may be generated. In other words, the effect generating unit 112 determines the occurrence or non-occurrence of the event bonus or changes the size of the event bonus based on the determination result of the attribute determining unit 111. [

In the present embodiment, since effects are associated with attributes of game characters in at least one bonus generation period, the effect generation unit 112 determines that the plurality of attributes match each other by the attribute determination unit 111 , The highest effect among the bonuses for each period corresponding to each of the plurality of attributes corresponding to at least one bonus generation period is generated. &Quot; Most effective " is the effect that makes the user most advantageous in the game. For example, if the effect is to make the remuneration better, the increase in remuneration is the most effective. For example, if the effect is to raise the abilities of the game character, the rising value of the ability is the highest effect. In the present embodiment, the effect generating unit 112 generates an event bonus having the highest increase among a plurality of event bonuses.

[Effect Change Section]

The effect changing unit 113 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The effect changing unit 113 changes the effect corresponding to at least one of the plurality of bonus generation periods based on the execution timing of the game. For example, the effect changing unit 113 changes the degree of bonus according to the lapse of time. The relationship between the execution timing of the game and the effect to be generated may be determined in advance, for example, by a formula or a table. In this relationship, the effect may be set to be lowered with time, or the effect may be set higher with time. The effect changing unit 113 changes the effect associated with the execution timing of the game. In the present embodiment, since the season bonus gradually decreases, the effect changing unit 113 changes the effect of the season bonus.

[4. Processing executed in the game system 1]

Figs. 14 and 15 are flowcharts showing an example of processing executed in the game system 1. Fig. The processing shown in Figs. 14 and 15 is executed when the control section 11 operates in accordance with the program stored in the storage section 12 and the control section 31 operates in accordance with the program stored in the storage section 32 . The processing described below is an example of processing by each functional block shown in Fig. In addition, when the processing described below is executed, the opponent team has already been determined, and the squad data DT3 of the opponent team, the ability parameters and the image data of each game character, (10).

14, first, in the user terminal 10, when the user performs a predetermined operation from the input unit 14, the control unit 11 transmits a request for acquiring the bonus data DT1 for each period to the server 30 (S101). The acquisition request in S101 may be performed in a predetermined data format. When data is transmitted from the user terminal 10 to the server 30, the IP address and the user ID of the user terminal 10 are also transmitted, and the server 30 transmits the data from any user terminal 10 It is assumed that it can be specified whether or not it has been received.

The server 30 refers to the event database DB3 stored in the storage unit 32 and stores the bonus data DT1 for the period corresponding to the current time in the user terminal 10 (S301). In step S301, the control unit 31 acquires the current date and time using a real time clock or the like, and specifies a season or a holding period including the current date and time. The control unit 31 transmits to the user terminal 10 the bonus data DT1 for each period stored in the record corresponding to the specific season or the holding period of the entire record of the event database DB3.

In the user terminal 10, upon receiving the bonus data DT1 for each period, the control section 11 executes a bonus specifying process for specifying a bonus generated in each of the individual game characters included in the current squad S103). Further, the control unit 11 may record the received bonus data DT1 in the storage unit 12.

16 is a diagram showing the details of the bonus specification process. 16, based on the retained character data DT2 and the squad data DT3 stored in the storage unit 12, the control unit 11 compares the total value of individual game characters of the squad with the basic bonus (S1031). In step S1031, the control unit 11 acquires the game character ID stored in the squad data DT3 and refers to the record corresponding to the game character ID among the records of the retained character data DT2, Obtain the game character's total value and default bonus.

The control unit 11 specifies a special bonus generation period including the current point in the special bonus generation period of each game character of the squad based on the bonus data DT1 for each period (S1033). In S1033, the control unit 11 determines whether the game character ID stored in the squad data DT3 matches the game character ID in which the special bonus stored in the bonus data DT1 per period is generated. When the game character IDs match, the control unit 11 determines that the game character ID is a special bonus generation period of the game character represented by the game character ID. If the game character IDs do not coincide with each other, It is determined that it is not the bonus generation period. That is, the control unit 11 judges that the event is a special bonus generation period when the event is currently held and the game character ID associated with the event being held matches the game character ID of the individual game characters of the squad.

The control unit 11 acquires a special bonus generated for each of the individual game characters of the current squad based on the specific result of S1033 (S1035). In S1035, the control unit 11 refers to the bonus data DT1 for each period, and acquires the size of the special bonus in which the game character ID matches in S1033.

The control unit 11 specifies an event generation period including the current point in the event bonus generation period of each game character of the squad based on the bonus data DT1 for each period (S1037). In S1037, first, the control unit 11 acquires the attribute in which the event bonus stored in the bonus data DT1 for each period occurs. The control unit 11 then acquires attributes of individual game characters of the squad based on the retained character data DT2 and the squad data DT3. The control unit 11 determines whether or not the attribute in which the event bonus occurs and the attribute of the squad coincide with each other. When at least one attribute matches, the control unit 11 determines that the event is an event bonus occurrence period, and if none of the attributes match, it determines that the event is not an event bonus occurrence period. That is, the control unit 11 determines that the current event is the event bonus generation period when the event is being held, and the attributes associated with the event being held match the attributes of the game character of the squad.

The control unit 11 acquires an event bonus generated for each of the individual game characters of the current squad based on the specific result of S1037 (S1039). In S1039, the control unit 11 refers to the bonus data DT1 for each period, and acquires the size of the event bonus in which the attribute matches in S1037. In addition, the control unit 11 acquires only the event bonus of the game character determined to match the plurality of attributes at S1037, whichever is the highest among the event bonuses corresponding to each of the plurality of attributes.

The control unit 11 specifies a season bonus generation period including the current point in the season bonus generation period of individual game characters of the squad based on the bonus data DT1 for each period (S1041). In S1041, the control unit 11 acquires the version of each game character of the squad based on the retained character data DT2 and the squad data DT3. Then, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the version of each game character matches the version of the season bonus generation condition of the bonus data DT1 for each period. If the version matches, the control unit 11 determines that the season bonus is generated. If the versions do not match, the control unit 11 determines that the season bonus is not the season bonus period. That is, when the version associated with the current season and the version of each game character of the squad coincide with each other, the control unit 11 determines that the game is a season bonus generation period.

The control unit 11 acquires a season bonus generated for each of the individual game characters of the current squad based on the specific result of S1041 (S1043). In S1043, the control unit 11 refers to the bonus data DT1 for each period, and acquires the size of the season bonus determined to match the version in S1041.

The control unit 11 acquires the squad bonus based on the total value and basic bonus acquired in S1031, the special bonus acquired in S1035, the event bonus acquired in S1039, and the season bonus acquired in S1043 (S1045). In S1045, the control unit 11 acquires a squad bonus based on the above-described Equations 1 and 2. [

14, based on the retained character data DT2 and the squad data DT3 stored in the storage unit 12 and the squad bonus acquired in S1045, the control unit 11 displays the team organizing image G1 on the display unit (Step S105).

The control unit 11 refers to the input from the input unit 14 (S107). Here, it is assumed that one of the editing operation for editing the squad, the display operation for displaying the information of the game character, and the start operation for starting the match are performed. The editing operation is, for example, an operation of selecting the replacement button B10 or replacing the icon I. The display operation is, for example, an operation for selecting the icon (I). The start operation is, for example, an operation for selecting a match start button B11. It is assumed that the relationship between each icon I and the game character ID is stored in the storage unit 12. [ Further, when another operation such as an operation of canceling the match is performed, the present process may be ended.

When the editing operation is performed (S107; editing operation), the control unit 11 edits the squad based on the input from the input unit 14 (S109), and returns to the process of S103. In this case, the control unit 11 recalculates the value of the squad bonus based on the edited squad and updates the display of the squad bonus G15 in the team organization image G1. The control unit 11 also updates the squad data DT3 stored in the storage unit 12 so as to indicate the post-editing squad.

When the display operation is performed (S107; display operation), the control unit 11 displays information on the game character on the team organizing image based on the retained character data DT2 stored in the storage unit 12 (S111) . In S111, the control unit 11 displays basic information G11, ability parameter G12, and basic bonus G13 of the game character selected by the user. In addition, the control unit 11 executes processing similar to that of S1033 to S1043 for the game character selected by the user, and determines whether or not a bonus for each period is generated. Then, the control unit 11 causes the size of the generated bonus to be displayed on the bonus G14 for each period.

On the other hand, when an operation to start a match is performed (S107; start operation), the control unit 11 moves to Fig. 15 and starts the match based on the current squad (S113). In S113, the control unit 11 generates the game situation data DT4 and records the game situation data DT4 in the storage unit 12. The control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the virtual world image G2 on the basis of the game situation data DT4 stored in the storage unit 12 (S115) Based on the ability parameters of the game character, the game character to be operated is operated according to the input from the input unit 14 or other game characters are operated according to the algorithm (S117). Based on the game situation data DT4, the control unit 11 determines whether the match is ended (S119). In S119, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the end time of the match has arrived. If it is not determined that the match has ended (S119; N), the process returns to the process of S115 to continue the match.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the match has ended (Y in S119), the control section 11 refers to the game situation data DT4 stored in the storage section 12 to obtain the result of the match, (S121). Here, it is assumed that the data indicating the relationship between the conditions relating to the result of the match and the points are stored in the storage unit 12. This relationship may be an expression form or a table form. The condition relating to the result of the game is a condition relating to the value of the parameter stored in the game situation data DT4, for example, a condition relating to the gain or loss, a condition relating to the win or loss of the game, do. In S121, the control unit 11 determines, based on the game situation data DT4, whether or not the condition regarding the match result is satisfied. Then, the control unit 11 determines the basic point based on the point associated with the condition determined to be satisfied. For example, when it is determined that a plurality of conditions are satisfied, the control unit 11 may set the cumulative value of the points associated with each of the plurality of conditions as a base point.

The control unit 11 determines the granted point based on the base point determined in S121 and the squad bonus of the squad used in the match, and transmits the determined granted point to the server 30 (S123). It is assumed that the squad bonus is stored in the storage unit 12 at the start of the match calculated in S1045. In step S123, the control unit 11 multiplies the base point determined in step S121 by the squad bonus stored in the storage unit 12, and increases / decreases according to the result of the match, thereby determining the granted point.

The server 30 updates the cumulative points and ranking of the user database DB2 stored in the storage unit 32 and stores the latest cumulative points and ranking in the user terminal (S303). In step S303, the control unit 31 updates the accumulated points by adding the received granted points to the accumulated points of the user. Then, the control unit 31 determines the rank of the user by referring to the accumulated points of the other users, and updates the rank of the user database DB2.

In the user terminal 10, upon receipt of the latest accumulation point and ranking, the control section 11 displays the pointed image G3 on the display section 15 (S125), and the process ends. In S125, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display the granted point determined in S123 and the pointed image G3 including the received accumulated points and ranking.

[Theorem 1]

According to the first configuration of the game system 1 described above, since the value of the game character is determined not only by the ability parameter that affects the operation of the game character but also by the base bonus that affects maintenance, We can continue to increase value. That is, even if a new game character is regularly added, for example, even if the ability parameter is not changed, a game to be newly added The value (charm) of the character can be increased by the base bonus. Therefore, it is also possible to prevent the game character from performing an unnatural operation in which the interest of the game is lowered, so that the reality of the game can be maintained while increasing the value of the game character.

If the game character is operated in accordance with the user's operation while the virtual world image G2 is displayed, if the ability parameter is set too high to increase the value of the game character, There is a possibility that the user directly feels that there is no reality. However, according to the present invention, by changing the basic bonus without changing the ability parameter, the value of the game character Can be increased. That is, it is possible to continuously provide a game character of higher value without impairing the reality. In a game in which a user operates a game character, for example, when a game character performs an unnatural operation that can not be realized in reality, the user directly feels that there is no reality, but even in such a game, Can continue to increase in value.

Further, the value of the game character can be represented not only by the good or bad operation by the ability parameter, but also by the base bonus separated from the operation of the game character.

In addition, by setting a basic bonus unique to each game character and making a difference to the basic bonus, the difference between the values of the game characters can be set. In addition, diversity can be given to the game character by making the basic bonus a value unique to the game character.

In addition, by preparing a squad bonus representing the height of the comprehensive value of a plurality of game characters used in the game, for example, a combination of game characters for obtaining more reward can be given to the user, Can be effectively improved.

In addition, the value of an ability parameter can be multifaceted because the value of the ability parameter affects not only the goodness and badness of the action, but also the good and bad of the remuneration.

In addition, the payoff is determined based on the result of the game as well as the basic bonus, and the result of the game is determined by the action of the game character, so that the ability parameter can indirectly affect the payoff, It can be multifaceted.

Further, by making the basic bonus change the basic point, the value of the basic bonus can be made more understandable. As a result, the value of the game character can be easily evaluated by the user.

Further, in the case of registering a new game character as a grant candidate, it is possible to enhance the value of a newly registered game character by enhancing the basic bonus without increasing the ability parameter, thereby making it attractive.

[Theorem 2]

According to the second configuration of the game system 1 described above, since the bonuses for each period are associated with each of the plurality of bonus generation periods having different lengths, and the effect of any bonus generation period is lost, the effect of another bonus generation period is effective It is possible to prevent the value of the game character from dropping rapidly, for example. As a result, it is possible to give the user a motivation to use the game character for a long period of time. In addition, there is a possibility that if a certain specific game character is continuously used, the game is not changed, and conversely the popularity of the game may be deteriorated. However, according to the second configuration, the effect may be gradually decreased with time, It is possible to give a motive for replacing the game character with an appropriate timing.

In addition, depending on the timing of using the game character, a plurality of bonuses for each period may be duplicated and a very high effect can be obtained, so that the value of the game character at that time can be effectively increased. Therefore, it is possible to give the user a motivation to use the game character aimed at the time.

In addition, by setting bonuses for each game character's specific period, it is possible to make a difference between the bonuses generated and the difference between the values of the game characters. In addition, by making the effect unique to a game character, diversity can be given to the game character.

In addition, since it is possible to switch the occurrence or non-occurrence of a bonus for each period according to the bonus generation period, or to adjust the content or strength of the bonus for each period, the value can be flexibly changed according to the timing of using the game character. As a result, the value of the game character can be varied.

Further, when a plurality of attributes coincide with each other, it is possible not to accumulate the bonus for each period but to limit the bonus for each period to be generated so as not to become too high by generating the bonus for each period. As a result, it is possible to prevent situations in which a specific game character is excessively advantageous only when using a specific game character, so that fairness among users can be maintained.

Further, the value of the game character can be adjusted according to the execution point of the game by changing the bonus for each period according to the execution point of the game. That is, when an effect corresponding to a certain bonus generation period occurs, it is possible to change the content of the bonus for each period or adjust the strength of the bonus for each period at the time of execution of the game, .

In addition, since the bonus generation period in which the effect of the newly added game character occurs is the later bonus generation period, it is possible to lengthen the period in which the bonus is generated for each period than the registered game character. Value can be increased. As a result, for example, when adding a game character, it is possible to increase the value as a game character without increasing the ability, so that it is possible to prevent a situation in which the ability to continue to increase steadily every time a game character is added.

Further, as an example of the effect, as in the embodiment, by generating a bonus for each period for increasing the payout, it is possible to increase the value of the game character by generating an effect of increasing the payout given to the user after the end of the game.

[5. Modifications]

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. And can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[5-1. Modification Related to First Configuration]

For example, in the embodiment, a case has been described in which not only the first configuration but also the second configuration are realized in the game system 1. However, the game system 1 may have only the first configuration. In other words, the bonus for each period is not related to the game character, and the bonus for each period may not occur. For this reason, the game system 1 may omit the functions related to the second configuration. For example, in the first configuration, the functions other than the parameter acquisition unit 101, the operation control unit 102, and the repair determination unit 106 may be omitted.

In addition, for example, during the execution of the game, the virtual world image G2 may not be displayed on the display unit 15, but only the text or audio representing the virtual world may be output. Alternatively, the situation of the game being executed may not be particularly notified to the user, and only the result may be notified to the user after the game ends. Further, for example, the basic bonus may affect the game character's good or bad behavior or the success or failure of the action. Also, for example, the grant point may be calculated by substituting the basic bonus of the power of the game character included in the squad in a predetermined formula, without specifically calculating the squad bonus as the bonus parameter of the entire squad.

Also, for example, the basic points depending on the player's play skill or the ability parameters of the game character are not calculated, and the award points may be determined based only on the basic bonus. That is, the award point may be determined based only on the base bonus, not based on the result of the match.

[5-2. Modification Related to Second Configuration]

In addition, for example, in the embodiment, the game system 1 has been described as being realized not only in the second configuration but also in the first configuration, but the game system 1 may have only the second configuration. In other words, the base bonus is not related to the game character, and the base bonus may not occur. For this reason, the game system 1 may omit the functions related to the first configuration. For example, in the second configuration, the functions other than the data acquisition section 107, the period specification section 108, and the effect generation section 112 may be omitted. Further, for example, when only the second configuration is realized in the game system 1, the operation in the virtual world does not need to be changed by the ability parameters of the game character. In this case, for example, it may be a fighting game in which the enemy damage is determined based on the ability parameters, while the action is constant regardless of the ability parameters of the game character, and a fighting game of a card battle type in which the game character does not particularly move.

Also, for example, the case where the bonus generation periods overlap each other has been described, but it is not necessary that the bonus generation periods overlap each other. Also, for example, an event bonus in which an attribute is an occurrence condition is included in the period bonus, but the bonus in which the attribute is an occurrence condition is not necessarily included. Also, for example, a case in which a bonus that varies depending on the execution timing of a match, such as a season bonus, is included in the bonus according to the period, but the bonus does not need to change in particular over time. Also, for example, effects other than the increase in maintenance may be generated for each period. The effect of this case may be that the ability parameter is improved during execution of the game as described above, or that a special skill is activated. In this case, the term " period " in the second configuration may be referred to as an improvement period of the ability parameter or an activation period of the special skill. That is, an increase in the ability parameter or a special skill to be activated may be determined for each period.

[5-3. Other Modifications]

Further, for example, two or more of the above-described modifications may be combined.

Also, for example, the game character may not be added regularly or irregularly. That is, the game character to be granted is determined in advance, and may not be added in the middle. Also, for example, the case where the game character is given to the user among the data to be granted has been described. However, the game may be a game in which a game character available to the user is fixed in advance, without the user acquiring the game character by lottery.

For example, the game system 1 may display an image similar to the team organization image G1 in a game in which a bonus other than the bonus or period bonus occurs. For example, in a game in which a user uses a plurality of game characters, in a case where a bonus generated when the game character is used is associated with each game character, In the image G1, a bonus generated in the present squad may be displayed, or a bonus generated when a game character designated by the user is used may be displayed. In this case, the control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 specifies each bonus associated with each game character of the present squad and transmits information about the specific bonus or the accumulated value to the team organization image G1. Further, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the bonus of the game character designated by the user occurs, and displays the determination result on the team organizing image G1. The conditions for generating the bonus may be predetermined conditions, and the generation conditions may be determined for each bonus or each game character. For example, the generation condition may be a time period such as a bonus for each period, or a condition regarding the level or attribute of the opponent. For example, the generation condition may be a condition relating to a combination of game characters used in a game, or a condition related to a level or rank of a user. For example, the control unit 11 may display information identifying the presence or absence of the bonus of the game character designated by the user or the size of the bonus. Alternatively, in the case of a game in which a plurality of game characters are used, such as the soccer team described in the embodiment, the control unit 11 acquires information indicating the bonus generated by the combination of the plurality of game characters (in the embodiment, Squad bonus) may be displayed. In the embodiment, since the soccer game has been described as an example, the term "squad" is used as a soccer term. However, the processing according to the present invention is also applicable to other games. Therefore, A bonus may be a combination bonus. That is, the squad bonus described in the embodiment is an example of the combination bonus. Further, when the user changes the game character used in the game, the control unit 11 may recalculate the bonus generated by the combination of the game character after the change and update the information in real time.

Also, for example, the squad bonus may be changed based on factors other than the bonus and bonuses for each period. For example, a parameter indicating the mental state or momentum of the squad at that time may be prepared, and a squad bonus It may be changed.

Also, for example, the main function of the user terminal 10 is realized, and the game control device according to the present invention is the user terminal 10. However, the main function may be realized by the server 30. In this case, the server 30 becomes a game control device. For example, the data storage unit 300 may store the retained character data DT2, the squad data DT3, and the game situation data DT4 of each user. When the functions relating to the first configuration such as the parameter acquisition unit 101, the operation control unit 102 and the maintenance determination unit 106 are realized by the server 30, they are realized mainly by the control unit 31 . Likewise, when the functions related to the second configuration, such as the data acquisition section 107, the period specification section 108, and the effect generation section 112 are realized by the server 30, they are realized mainly by the control section 31 do. The server 30 transmits the display data of each image to the user terminal 10 and the user terminal 10 displays each image on the display unit 15 based on the received display data. Then, the user terminal 10 transmits the contents of the operation received by the input unit 14 to the server 30, and the server 30 executes each process based on the received operation contents.

For example, contrary to the above, the functions described as being realized in the server 30 may be realized in the user terminal 10. [ For example, the data storage unit 100 may store the grant candidate database DB1, the user database DB2, and the event database DB3. Further, for example, the game character adding unit 301 may be realized in the user terminal 10. In this case, the game character adding unit 301 is realized mainly by the control unit 11. [ The user terminal 10 receives data relating to a game character to be added via the network N and adds it to the grant candidate database DB1.

In addition, for example, the functions of the user terminal 10 and the server 30 may be shared. For example, when the parameter acquisition unit 101 is implemented in the server 30, the server 30 acquires the capability parameter and the base bonus with reference to the data storage unit 300, . For example, when the operation control unit 102 is implemented in the server 30, the server 30 acquires the game situation data DT4 from the user terminal 10 and displays the game character data And transmits the data to the user terminal 10. Further, for example, when the repair determining unit 106 is realized in the server 30, the server 30 acquires the result of the game, the bonus, etc. from the user terminal 10 and determines the granted point . For example, when the data acquisition unit 107 is implemented in the server 30, the server 30 refers to the data storage unit 300 and acquires the bonus data DT1 for each period. In the case where the period specifying unit 108 is realized in the server 30, for example, when the server 30 receives a notification from the user terminal 10 to start a game, Is the bonus generation period of the game character of the game character. For example, when the effect generating unit 112 is realized in the server 30, the server 30 acquires the specific result of the period specifying unit 108 from the user terminal 10, To generate a bonus for each period.

Further, for example, the case where the soccer game is executed has been described, but the processing according to the present invention may be applied to another game. For example, the process according to the present invention may be applied to a sports game other than a soccer game (for example, a baseball game, a tennis game, an American football game, a basketball game, a volleyball game, etc.). In addition to the sports game, for example, the process according to the present invention may be applied to various games, regardless of the game format or genre, such as an action game, a role playing game, a simulation game, a card battle game, or a training game.
