1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a game quest generation system according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, the game quest generation system may include a game quest generation device 110, a user terminal 120, and a database 115. Depending on the embodiment, the game quest creation system may further include a game quest exchange server 130 and/or a game quest request server 135.

The game quest generation system is a system that creates a game quest, and is a system that enables a game user, not a game operator, to create a game quest through the user terminal 120. Game quests refer to missions given in the game, such as catching non-player characters (NPCs) such as monsters in the game, reaching a specific place, and clearing a specific game stage within a limited time.

In one embodiment, the game user creates his or her own game quest through the game quest creation system, and sells the produced game quest through the game quest exchange server 130, or the game user wants to produce With respect to the game quest, it is possible to request another game user to perform the target game quest instead through the game quest requesting station server 135.

The creation of the game quest can be done within the game or outside the game. In one embodiment, the rating of the game quest that the game quest creator can produce will be determined according to the skill level (or production level) of the user who wants to create the game quest (hereinafter referred to as the'game quest creator'). I can. Here, the proficiency level may be determined based on the number of times the game quest creator has produced the game quest, and other game users' evaluations of the game quest produced by the game quest producer during that time. For example, if the skill level is high, the number of times the game quest is produced is large or the evaluation score for the produced game quest is high. If the game quest creator's proficiency is high, the game quest creator can produce even a relatively high-grade game quest. If the game quest creator's skill level is low, the game quest creator can only produce game quests of a relatively low level.

According to an embodiment, the rating of the game quest is related to the difficulty of a mission to be performed in the game quest, and a difference in difficulty may exist for each rating of the game quest. The game quest generating device 110 may determine a reward to be paid after completing the game quest according to the level and difficulty of the game quest.

The game quest generation device 110 generates a game quest according to the content of the game quest set through the user terminal 120 of the game quest creator. The game quest generating device 110 and the user terminal 120 may communicate with each other through a network (eg, an Internet communication network, a wired or wireless local area communication network, or a wide area data communication network). In one embodiment, the game quest generation device 110 performs an authentication procedure for the user terminal 120 requesting access for the production of the game quest, and provides a game quest production service to the user terminal 120 that has successfully authenticated. can do. Depending on the embodiment, the game quest generating device 110 may be included in a game server (not shown) that provides a game service to operate.

In one embodiment, the game quest generated by the game quest creator, the previously generated game quest, and data required to generate the game quest may be stored in the database 115. The game quest generation device 110 may fetch necessary data from the database 115 and store game quest related information.

A game quest creator who wants to create a game quest accesses the game quest generation device 110 through the user terminal 120, and the user terminal 120 uses the user input information input for game quest production to the game quest generation device ( 110). The user terminal 120 may be, for example, a cellular phone, a smart phone, a personal computer, a laptop, a notebook, a netbook, a tablet, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wearable device, and the like. have.

For example, in a role-playing game (RPG), game quests are important content that inspires game users with a sense of purpose in game play. However, until now, game service companies had a one-way provision structure in which game quests were supplied unilaterally, and the speed at which game users consumed game quests could not keep up with the supply of game quests. Through the present invention, a game user can directly produce or produce a game quest, and a game user can sell and/or distribute the game quest that he has created.

In addition, through the present invention, the burden of continuously producing and supplying game quests of game operators or game providers can be reduced. Game quest creators can produce various game quests by increasing their production proficiency for game quests, and can take advantage by selling the produced game quests through the game quest exchange. Game quest creators can feel the fun of creating game quests. Buyers who purchase game quests can get the fun of performing new kinds of game quests that have not been previously available, and can escape from unilateral consumption of game quests by getting rewards for completing game quests.

Hereinafter, operations performed by the game quest generation device 110 and the game quest generation device 110 will be described in more detail.

2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a game quest generating apparatus according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2, the game quest generating device 200 may include a user input receiving unit 210, a game quest generating unit 220, a storage unit 230, and a game quest testing unit 240. The game quest generating device 200 may correspond to the game quest generating device described in this specification.

The user input receiving unit 210 may receive user input information for a user input input by a game quest creator through a user terminal. The game quest creator may input data or setting information into a user terminal to create a game quest, and the user input information input in this way may be received by the user input receiving unit 210.

The game quest generation unit 220 generates a game quest based on the received user input information. The game quest generation unit 220 may set the quest content of the game quest based on the setting information designated through the user input, and generate a game quest or a game quest scenario based on the set quest content. In this case, the game quest generation unit 220 may determine a reward corresponding to the game quest based on the game quest rating or difficulty level, and may allocate reward information for the determined reward to the game quest data. Hereinafter, a game quest produced according to the intention of the game quest creator is referred to as a "target game quest".

The game quest test unit 240 may perform a test on a target game quest. The test may be performed by the creator of the game quest, or may be performed automatically by computer artificial intelligence. The game quest creator may directly play the target game quest that he produced through the game quest test unit 240.

The storage unit 230 stores data related to the game quest. For example, the storage unit 230 may store a target game quest generated by a game quest creator, a previously generated game quest, and data necessary to generate a game quest.

Depending on the embodiment, the properties of the generated target game quest may be changed through combination (or synthesis, combination) with other game quests. For example, through combination with other game quests, the rating or reward of the target game quest may be changed.

In one example, the target game quest may be upgraded to a higher-grade game quest through synthesis with other game quests, or a reward for achieving the game quest may be increased. The success of this synthesis can be determined probabilistically. Assuming that the rating of the target game quest is'rare' and that of the other game quests is also'rare', the rating of the target game quest may be raised to'legendary' by combining the two game quests. Alternatively, as a result of combining the game quests, the rating of the target game quest is maintained as it is, and only the reward allocated to the target game quest may be increased. Increased rewards include, for example, that the experience value that can be obtained according to the achievement of the game quest, the grade of the item increases, the time limit for the achievement of the target im quest increases, or the number of restrictions on the achievement of the target game quest increases. Include.

The game quest generated by the game quest generator 220 may be destroyed. For example, a game quest has expired (e.g., one week after production), a certain target condition has been achieved, it is deleted by the game operator or administrator, the combination with other game quests fails, or is sold in the in-game store. If it becomes, it can be extinguished. Here, the specific target condition may include, for example, achievement of the number of achievements of game quests, achievement of time attack conditions, and the like. On the other hand, the game quest may have a limit on the number of production or possession per game user or game quest creator.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a method for generating a game quest according to an exemplary embodiment. The game quest generation method according to an exemplary embodiment may be performed by the game quest generation apparatus described herein.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step 310, the apparatus for generating a game quest may receive a request for creating a game quest through a first user input from a game quest creator. In step 320, in response to the received game quest production request, the game quest generation device may check whether the game quest production condition is satisfied. For example, the game quest generation device has the goods required for the production of the target game quest and the production level of the game quest creator set in advance (whether the amount of goods owned is greater than the amount required for the production of the game quest, production level It can be checked whether it satisfies this particular production level, etc.).

If the game quest production condition is not satisfied, the game quest generation device may transmit a rejection message for the game quest production request of the game quest creator to the user terminal of the game quest creator, and stop the game quest generation process.

When the game quest production condition is satisfied, in step 330, the game quest generating device may set the quest content of the target game quest based on setting information designated through a second user input of the game quest creator. The game quest generating apparatus may set one or more execution conditions capable of performing the target game quest based on the second user input. For example, the game quest generation device may include a place in the game where the target game quest is to be performed, the target of the target game quest, the game quest action, the number of participants in the target game quest, the target of the target game quest, and the time condition of the target game quest. Conditions for at least one of them may be set.

In step 340, the game quest generating apparatus may generate a target game quest based on the quest content set in step 330. In the process of generating the target game quest, the game quest generation device may set the rating of the target game quest based on the predefined game quest rating criterion information, and allocate the setting information for the set rating to the quest data of the target game quest. have.

In addition, the game quest generating apparatus may determine a reward to be paid upon completion of the target game quest of another game user, and may allocate reward information for the determined reward to quest data of the target game quest. The reward for the target game quest may be selected by a game quest creator or may be determined by a game quest generating device.

In an embodiment, the apparatus for generating a game quest may determine a reward for completion of the target game quest based on at least one of a grade and a difficulty level of the target game quest. In another embodiment, the game quest generation device may determine a plurality of candidate rewards to be paid upon completion of the target game quest. In this case, when the game user completes the target game quest, the game user is given a list of candidate rewards. Information can be provided. The game user may select a desired candidate reward from among the candidate rewards, and in this case, the selected candidate reward is provided to the corresponding game user.

The game quest generating apparatus may generate a target game quest based on the set quest content and a reward and a grade determined for the target game quest. According to an embodiment, when the target game quest is generated, it may be determined that the property of the target game quest is adjusted upward based on the probability. For example, the rank of the target game quest may increase or the reward may be higher. In addition, in the target game quest, at least one of the rating of the target game quest and the reward allocated to the target game quest may be changed through combination with another game quest.

The game quest generation device may store the generated target game quest and execute a test process of the target game quest. Through this, game quest creators can test their own target game quests.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method of generating a game quest according to an exemplary embodiment. The game quest generation method according to an embodiment may be performed by the game quest generation apparatus described in this specification.

Referring to FIG. 4, production of a target game quest may be started by selection of a game quest creator (eg, a game user) who wants to produce a game quest. The game quest creator may start or request the production of the game quest in the game program or through a separate user interface. The user terminal of the game quest creator may receive a user input for producing such a game quest, and transmit user input information for the corresponding user input to the game quest generating device.

In step 410, when a game quest creation request is received through a user input, the game quest generation device may check whether a production condition of the game quest is satisfied. For example, the game quest generation device may check whether a necessary element required for game quest production and a condition for a game quest creator are satisfied. For example, the game quest generation device may check whether conditions for goods and materials required for game quest production are satisfied, and whether the skill level or production level of the game quest creator is satisfied.

When the production condition of the game quest is satisfied, in step 420, the game quest generating device may set quest content, which is the content of the target game quest, based on setting information designated through a user input of the game quest creator. The game quest generation device may set an execution condition and an execution goal of the target game quest based on a user input. For example, the game quest generation device is the level of the character of the game user who can perform the game quest in relation to the content of the target game quest, the ability condition, the job, the condition for the race, the possession or installation of a specific item, the game Contents can be set for the number of quests that can be performed, the available time, the number of cumulative game quests, and the cumulative game quest success rate.

In one embodiment, the game quest creator determines the in-game place or game stage where the game quest is to be performed, the goal of the game quest, the game quest action, the number of participants in the game quest, the target of the game quest, the time condition of the game quest, etc. Can be set. Here, the number of participants in the game quest represents the number of game users who will perform the game quest together. The target of the game quest is a condition for the game user who will be able to play the game quest.For example, whether all game users can play, a specific game guild, a game user with a specific character level or higher, or a game that plays a specific character race The availability of the game quest may vary depending on the user, etc.

The time condition of the game quest may include a condition on whether the progress of the game quest is made as a time attack (or time limit), whether it is made to proceed at a specific time period, or how many times the corresponding game quest is performed. In addition, as the content of the game quest, the game quest creator may set conditions for the game character's specific item and/or game skill, the game character's job or race, and the game character's abilities (combat power, defense, etc.). .

In step 430, after the quest content of the target game quest is set according to an embodiment, the game quest creator may test the target game quest based on the set quest content. In this case, it may be determined that the game quest can be generated according to the set target game quest content only after completing the execution of the target game quest tested by the game quest creator at least once. The step of testing the target game quest may be selectively performed and may be omitted according to embodiments.

In step 440, the game quest generating device may determine the level and difficulty of the target game quest. In one embodiment, the game quest generating device sets the rating and/or difficulty level of the target game quest based on predefined reference information, and allocates setting information on the set level and/or difficulty level to the quest data of the target game quest. can do. For example, assuming that the quest content of the target game quest defeats a specific number of NPCs, the target is based on the reference information corresponding to each of the number of NPCs, the ability of each NPC, the execution time limit of the target game quest, etc. You can determine the level and difficulty of the game quest.

In step 450, the game quest generating device may set a reward for the achievement of the game quest. The game quest generating device may determine a reward to be paid when another game user completes the target game quest, and may allocate reward information for the determined reward to the quest data of the target game quest.

The game quest generating device may determine a reward for the target game quest based on the reference information. For example, the game quest generating apparatus may determine a reward for the target game quest based on the number or time of hunting NPCs, and item drop probability table information. Here, the reference information may be determined based on, for example, information acquired through game play log data of game users.

In one embodiment, the game quest generation device may provide less rewards for achieving target game quests for target game quests that are easy to achieve, and more for target game quests that are difficult to achieve. have. For example, in the case of a target game quest with easy difficulty, the game quest generating device may reduce the probability of obtaining an item or lower the grade of an obtainable item.

The game quest generation device may determine a reward for completion of the target game quest based on the level and difficulty of the target game quest.

In one embodiment, the game quest creator may directly set a reward according to the achievement of the target game quest. For example, a game quest creator may set a reward within the range of the goods or items he owns, or set the reward within a predetermined range regardless of the goods or items he owns.

In another embodiment, the reward may be automatically set according to the grade and/or difficulty level of the target game quest. Meanwhile, a reward for the target game quest may be set randomly or based on probability.

In another embodiment, various types of candidate rewards may be provided to a user who has achieved the target game quest according to the level and/or difficulty of the target game quest. In this case, the corresponding game user may select a desired candidate reward among the candidate rewards and receive a reward according to the achievement of the game quest.

In step 460, the game quest generating device may complete the generation of the target game quest. In addition, the game quest generation apparatus may allocate a level experience value related to the skill level of the game quest creator to the game quest creator based on the number of game quests produced by the game quest creator, the game quest type, and grade.

Depending on the embodiment, the properties of the completed target game quest may be changed based on a predefined probability. Here, the change of the properties of the target game quest includes, for example, an increase in the reward originally allocated to the target game quest, a decrease in the number of times that the target game quest must be performed, an increase in the period during which the target game quest can exist, or the target The time limit for completing game quests can be increased. Alternatively, the production level or rating of the game quest creator may be increased.

In step 470, the game quest generating device may test the target game quest at the request of the game quest creator or obligatory. Depending on the embodiment, when the test of the target game quest is successful, it may be determined that generation of the target game quest is finally completed.

5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user interface screen for producing a game quest provided to a game quest creator according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5, a game quest creator can conveniently and easily produce a target game quest through a user interface screen output on a user terminal of the game quest creator. The game quest creator directly inputs setting values for various items constituting the quest content of the target game quest through the provided user interface, or selects a specific value from a plurality of pre-designated values to select the quest content of the target game quest. Can be set.

Each item for making a game quest is automatically generated or can be directly input or set by the game quest creator. The setting value input through the user interface is transmitted to the game quest generation device in the form of user input information, and the game quest generation device can generate the target game quest based on the setting information of the quest content included in the user input information. have.

6A is a diagram for explaining an example of a game quest transaction process performed by a game quest exchange server according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6A, a game quest creator may create his own target game quest and sell it to other game users through a game quest exchange. When the generation of the target game quest is completed, the generated target game quest may be stored in, for example, an in-game inventory of the game quest creator, and the target game quest may be expressed in the form of a list or behavior of a corresponding icon. .

Game quest creators can register their own target game quests on the game quest exchange. The game quest exchange server may upload a game quest to a transaction target according to a game quest sales request from a game quest creator, and provide sales information on the corresponding game quest to other game users. Here, the sales information may include, for example, information on a price required to purchase a game quest, the number of playable game quests, a reward according to achievement of a game quest, and a grade or difficulty of the game quest. Regarding the number of times the game quest can be played, for example, the game quest of “Eradication of 50 Mosquitoes” of FIG. 6A refers to a case that is registered again in the game quest exchange after being performed 10 times. Game quests sold on the game quest exchange are transferred to the buyer.

6B is a diagram for explaining an example of a game quest execution request process performed by a game quest requesting station server according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6B, the game quest creator may request the achievement of the target game quest produced by the game quest from another game user through the game quest requesting station. In one embodiment, when another game user performs a game quest instead and achieves it, a certain portion of the reward that the game user obtains according to the game quest achievement may be distributed to the game quest creator. The content of such compensation distribution may be determined according to “profit distribution” of FIG. 6B.

In the drawing, “the number of participants” indicates the restrictions on the number of participants in the game quest, and indicates the number of game users who can participate in the game quest on a first-come, first-served basis. The method for restricting participation in such game quests can be changed. For example, it is possible to change the number of times, duration, number of participants, and number of clears.

In this way, game quest creators can obtain a certain amount of rewards when other game users clear the target game quests they have created, and through this, it can be expected that competition to generate efficient game quests will occur. .
