Winning logic that combines the points system, the score for the final winning team, the round score, etc. can be used to break the simplicity of the game to enable more strategic round play.

Hereinafter, an online shooting game according to the disclosed technology and a system and method for providing the same will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12.

The online shooting game providing system (hereinafter, referred to as a game providing system) 100 may provide an online shooting game to a plurality of users (game clients) at the same time through a network environment.

The game providing system 100 may perform at least some real-time data exchange with the plurality of game clients 200 to provide an online shooting game. Such a game providing system 100 will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 2.

The game client 200 is a game providing means that can be driven in the player terminal. The player terminal is a terminal having a central processing unit and a memory device, such as a PC, a tablet PC, a smart phone, and the like.

The game client 200 may access or maintain an online shooting game providing system 100 and provide an online shooting game to the player.

According to an embodiment, the game client 200 may load at least a part of a game engine for driving a game. For example, at least some of the predetermined operations required to provide the online shooting game may be performed in the game client 200 for fast processing. In this embodiment, the game client 200 may provide the game providing system 100 with the result calculated by the game engine provided therein.

Referring to FIG. 2, the game providing system 100 may include a communication unit 110, a game engine 120, a team organization managing unit 130, a round managing unit 140, and a game providing control unit 150.

The communication unit 110 may set or maintain a communication environment for providing a game with the game client 200 under the control of the game providing control unit 150.

The game engine 120 is a component for driving a game and may be linked with the game client 200 to provide an online shooting game to a player. The game engine 120 may have a predetermined physics engine function to provide movement of a character by reflecting actual physics.

In the embodiment disclosed in FIG. 2, the game engine 120 is described in a separate configuration from the game providing control unit 150, but at least a part of the game engine 120 is a function of the game providing control unit 150 according to an embodiment. It can be implemented as.

In one embodiment, at least some or at least some of the functionality of game engine 120 may be included in game client 200. That is, to enable the game to run faster through distributed computing.

The team formation management unit 130 may manage a team composed of players for providing an online shooting game according to the disclosed technology. The team formation management unit 130 may organize a plurality of teams so that each team may perform a hostile team competition (Free For All). Each team may include at least one player character.

The team formation managing unit 130 may check whether a team is organized according to the team formation rule for the player group requesting the game. Here, the player group refers to a player who has opened a room (the owner) and other players who participated in the room created by the owner. In the disclosed technique, the team formation rule means that there are M teams of N players (characters) each. For example, one team may consist of two players each, and the total total team may be four teams. When the team formation management unit 130 receives the game start request, the team formation management unit 130 may check whether the requested group is correct according to the team formation rules, and notify the game providing control unit 150 if it is correctly organized.

In general, in a shooting online game, other players participate in a room opened by the owner, and a ready player sets his status as "rady." The master requests a game start when all the players are in a radiated state, and the game providing system 100 provides a game according to the game start request.

In the disclosed technology, it is possible to distinguish between a radial state and a game progress state. Here, the radical state means a state of waiting for team formation before the game is started, and the game progress state is a state of team formation and the game is progressed. In the disclosed technology, a new player may participate in the game even if the game is in progress. Can be. In the following, the participation of the player in the game in progress is referred to as "rubbing".

In more detail, the team organization management unit 130 may check the team organization by dividing the radiance step and the game progress step.

The radio stage will be described assuming an example consisting of a maximum of two players per team and a total of four teams A, B, C, and D. The team formation manager 130 may check the team formation by assigning a predetermined flow value to the team formation rule at the radial stage. In other words, even if the player temporarily moves the team maximum number of players (two players), such as when the team moves, the team organization management unit 130 may not limit this. In other words, the maximum number of people per team in the radial stage may be greater than the maximum number of teams per team in the game progression stage. However, the team formation management unit 130 may place restrictions on the player's radiated state according to the team formation rules. For example, team formation management unit 130 may not restrict if Team A includes A (Rady), A, and Bottle (Non-Rady), but it is already in Team A. In this case, the team organizer 130 may reject the bottle ready application (since there are already as many radiated state users as the maximum number of team members) and provide information about the bottle to the game client of the bottle.

In the game progress step, the team formation management unit 130 may check team formation according to the team formation rule, and determine whether the character can board. As in the above example, assuming that the team consists of up to two players per team and consists of four teams, A, B, C, and D, the game belongs to the team A, B, and B. After the start, let's say the bottle has left the game at random. Here, if nothing requests the B team to enter the game, the team formation management unit 130 may determine whether the request does not meet the team formation rules (maximum 2 players in each team). As a result of determination, since only Jung belongs to Team B, no game can be made to the game providing control unit 150 that the request corresponds to the team formation rule.

As mentioned above, the online shooting game according to the disclosed technique is performed by providing at least one round based on the room (group) opened by the master. The round may end when the round end condition is satisfied, and the game may end when all of the corresponding rounds end or satisfy a separate game end condition. When the game is set as one round, the game end condition is the same as the round end condition. Hereinafter, the round management unit 140 will be described as an example of a game including a plurality of rounds in which the round end condition and the game end condition are different.

The round manager 140 may determine whether a round end occurs according to a round end condition, and when a round end occurs, the round manager 140 may calculate a round score for each team or each player in the corresponding round. Here, the round end condition may be determined by combining the time limit, the point by the number of deaths of the character of the hostile team (hereinafter referred to as "killing") and the survival state of the character. For example, the round end condition may be set, such as the occurrence of a team that has performed a total of 10 kills within a 2 minute time limit, or when there are a plurality of players who remain alive until the time limit ends.

The round management unit 140 may calculate a round score for each team or each player by summing points (hereinafter, kill points) based on the number of kills and points (hereinafter, survival points) based on the survival state maintained until the end of the round. have. Here, the round manager 140 may apply different weights to kill points and survival points. Each weight may be set differently according to the game operation keynote. For example, kill points can be given higher weights to induce more thrilling games, and survival points can be given higher weights to induce more tense games.

The equation for calculating the round score for each player is expressed as shown in [Equation 1]. The round score for each team can be calculated by summing the round scores of the players of the team.

[Equation 1]

RoundPoint_Player = a * KillPoint_Player + b * LifePoint_Player

The round manager 140 may determine whether the game end condition is satisfied according to the end of the round, and calculate the score for each team or player for the game if the game end condition is satisfied. Here, the game end condition may be either a case in which a team that achieves the maximum number of kills occurs when the game starts, or a case where all set rounds are ended.

The round manager 140 may calculate a round score for each team or for each player by assigning a predetermined weight based on the team ranking. In other words, if the fourth team causes the current first team to die, it is possible to give more weight to the acquired kill points. This allows a substantial reversal as the game progresses to provide a more tense game.

The round manager 140 may calculate a game total score for each team or for each player. That is, the round manager 140 may calculate the game total score by summing kill points and survival points. Here, the round manager 140 may calculate a game total score by assigning different weights to at least one round. That is, the round manager 140 may assign round weights to the kill points and the survival points calculated for each round, and add the weights to calculate the total game score.

The game providing control unit 150 may provide an online shooting game by controlling other components of the game providing system 100.

The game provision controller 150 may provide an online shooting game to the identified teams when the team formation is confirmed by the team formation manager 130. In more detail, the game providing control unit 150 may provide a game by setting a plurality of teams hostile to each other.

The game providing controller 150 may provide a game by providing at least one round of a limited number of targets for the plurality of teams. In more detail, the game providing control unit 150 may set a plurality of teams organized in a limited virtual area to each other to provide each round, and set a time limit at the same time the battle of the round begins.

The game providing controller 150 may change the state of the characters manipulated by the game client 200 or control the manipulation in the game. For example, a character who has been damaged by the opposing team and has exhausted his / her HP is in a dead state, and the game providing controller 150 may exclude the dead character during the corresponding round. That is, it is possible to set such that no operation or event occurs for the character that has died.

The game providing control unit 150 may provide a predetermined skill for characters participating in the game. In more detail, the game providing control unit 150 assigns each character a predetermined skill value for an event in the game (for example, damaging an opponent or making a death state) for each character. If the skill level is above a certain value, the skill can be controlled.

In one embodiment, the game providing control unit 150 may provide the game client 200 with an interface (hereinafter, referred to as a skill gauge) expressing the skill value in the form of a gauge. When the skill value of a specific character is greater than or equal to a certain value, the game providing control unit 150 may display the skill gauge of the corresponding character to fill up.

In one embodiment, the game providing control unit 150 may provide at least one of an attack skill, a defense skill, and a movement speed increase skill. When the attack skill is activated, the character increases the attack value for a predetermined time, and in the case of the defense skill, the defense value increases for a predetermined time. When the movement speed skill is activated, the character increases the movement speed for a predetermined time.

The game providing control unit 150 may set the movement speed of the corresponding character differently according to the attack items worn by the characters in the game. In more detail, the ranged or short range items may be different from at least one of hit ratio, range, damage, and weight, respectively, and the game providing control unit 150 checks the weapon of the attack item equipped with the character to move the speed of the corresponding character. Can be changed.

In one embodiment, the game providing control unit 150 may adjust the moving speed of the character by checking the weight of the changed weapon when the weapon mounted on the character is changed according to the operation of the game client 200. For example, heavier weapons, knives, attack guns, shot guns, and sniper guns can be set to heavier weights, and heavier weapons can be used to slow the movement of the character.

The game providing control unit 150 may provide map information (eg, a map, a summary map, etc.) for the virtual space where the current round is in progress. The game providing controller 150 may display location information of at least one of the same team characters or hostile team characters in the map information.

When the game providing control unit 150 receives a boarding request from a specific player while providing a game, the game providing control unit 150 confirms whether or not the boarding unit can be boarded according to the teaming rule, and if possible, assigns the specific player to a specific team. To join a game in progress.

The game providing controller 150 may apply the sudden death rule when two characters belonging to different teams become alive during the round. Sudden Death aims to make the game more exciting by ignoring the remaining time limit and resetting the time limit to M (N> M) seconds if the time limit in the round is over N seconds. That is, the sudden death rule can be applied to a state in which the remaining time limit in the round is longer than N seconds and two characters belonging to different teams are in a surviving state. Therefore, when the game providing control unit 150 corresponds to the sudden death rule, the game providing control unit 150 may reset the remaining time limit and provide the game client 200 with the sudden death rule applied.

The game providing control unit 150 may terminate the round when a predetermined mission of each round is achieved or a set time is exceeded. In more detail, the game providing control unit 150 may set the time limit to be deducted to 0, or when only one team becomes a survival state, the game providing control unit 150 may end the round. In other words, the mission may be that only one team of the plurality of teams stays alive in the virtual area.

The game providing control unit 150 may request the round management unit 140 to calculate a round score when each round ends, and may request the round management unit 140 to calculate the total game score when all rounds are finished. The game providing controller 150 may determine a winning team based on the calculated total game score and provide information about the winning team to the game client 200.

3 is a block diagram illustrating another embodiment of an online shooting game providing system according to the disclosed technology, and FIG. 4 is a reference diagram illustrating a state of a character according to the game providing system of FIG. 3.

The survival state is a normal state, and the character can perform all the various operations performed in the game, such as movement, attack, and defense.

The drawing state is a state in which the character's HP is dropped below a predetermined value n. When the drawing state is reached, the character becomes inoperable and the character is not affected by any operation input by the game client 200. You can't perform an action. However, since it is not yet dead, the screen displayed on the game client 200 displays a normal screen, that is, a screen of a survival state. In that state, the survival state or the death state may be changed according to an event generated by another character.

The dead state is a state in which the character's HP is 0, and the character is treated as dead in the round and no action can be performed. Also, in the deceased state, the processed screen may be displayed on the game client 200 to identify the deceased.

The grudge determination unit 160 may determine the character as an inoperable grudge state when the character's stamina falls below a predetermined value.

The grudge determination unit 160 may change the character of the grudge state into a survival state or a dead state when a predetermined event by another character occurs with respect to the character in the grudge state. In more detail, when an event (help) assisted by a character of the same team is performed with respect to the character in the grudge state, the grudge determination unit 160 may change the character in the grudge state into a survival state. On the other hand, if the character of the opponent performs an event (confirmation killing) to the character of the opponent team, the grudge determination unit 160 may change the character of the gruel state to the dead state.

In one embodiment, the game providing control unit 150 may limit the operation of the character with respect to the character determined by the grudge determination unit 160. In more detail, the game providing control unit 150 may be set so that the character who has been drawn does not perform any operation at the current position. On the other hand, the character in the dead state can be set so that no action or any event occurs until the end of the round. The game providing control unit 150 may add a predetermined display to the character determined as the drawing state. For example, a display of a help may be added to a character in a drawing state of the same team, and a display of confirmation killing may be added to a character in a drawing state of another team.

In one embodiment, when a specific character performs a help event to a character in a drawing state of the same team and the specific character is changed to a normal state by the drawing determining unit 160, the game providing control unit 150 changes the character to a normal state. Operational restrictions on can be released. That is, when the help event occurs, the game providing control unit 150 may recover at least a part of the physical strength HP for the corresponding grung state character and change the normal state.

In one embodiment, when the specific character performs a confirmation killing event on the character of the opponent state of the grill state, the game providing control unit 150 may change the corresponding grain state character to the dead state.

In one embodiment, the game providing control unit 150 may provide an attack event performed by the character differently according to the damage.
