FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for schematically explaining an example of the player possession information table 112 and the temporary storage information table 114.

In the player possession information table 112, for example, item columns of money, item 1, item 2, item 3... Are provided for each ID as player identification information. When the first game or the second game is executed, information in the item column corresponding to the ID of the player who plays the game (for example, information in a horizontal row in FIG. 4) is read and Can be used freely. In addition to use, items can be sold or destroyed in principle. That is, the money of each item column and the ownership of an item have the player of corresponding ID. In addition, although ID is represented by the serial number in FIG. 4, the expression method is not specifically limited, For example, the combination of a character and a number may be sufficient. The player ownership information table 112 may have a plurality of the same IDs. In this case, the player possession information table 112 also describes, for example, a character name, and the possession information differs for each set of ID and character name.

In the temporary storage information table 114, for example, for each ID, six item columns of storage 1, storage 2, storage 3, storage 4, storage 5, and storage 6 as a temporary storage for items are provided. These item fields are blank (empty) in the initial state.

In the first embodiment, the column or area corresponding to the ID of the first player 104 in the player possession information table 112 and the temporary storage information table 114 is the first information 111. In the player possession information table 112 and the temporary storage information table 114, a column or area corresponding to the ID of the second player 106 is used as the second information 113.

Returning to FIG. 3, although not shown, the order setting list 116 is a list of names of one or a plurality of players who wish to receive an item manufacturing order. Further, in the order setting list 116, for each player name, an orderable recipe indicating what kind of product can be made or desired to be created and an advertisement for appeal are stored in association with each other.

Although the request list 118 is not shown in the figure, it is a list of who has ordered a manufacturing request with what content to whom.

The server unit 102 also includes a manufacturing unit 120 as a functional unit realized in the game system 10 in cooperation with other hardware and software by the CPU 64 executing the game program according to the first embodiment. And an intermediary unit 122 and a setting unit 124.

The manufacturing unit 120 is for manufacturing a new item in response to a request from the first player 104 or the second player 106. In the first embodiment, the manufacturing unit 120 manufactures a new item for the first player 104 at least in response to a request from the second player 106, as will be described later.

When the first player 104 of the terminal device 100A manufactures a new item by the manufacturing unit 120 via the second player 106 of the terminal device 100B, the mediation unit 122 uses the communication unit 108 to mediate the manufacture. Is to do.

The setting unit 124 is for automatically setting a new item manufactured by the mediation of the mediation unit 122 as an possession of the first player 104.

--Processing flow--
Next, a processing flow performed in the game system 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7 are diagrams showing changes in data in each table shown in FIG. 8 to 12 are diagrams illustrating examples of windows displayed on the display device of the terminal device 100A or the terminal device 100B while the processing flow is performed. Hereinafter, the identification code in parentheses corresponds to the step identification code in FIG.

(SP10) The second player 106 operates the terminal device 100B to receive an order for manufacturing an item during the game. For example, the second player 106 is placed at a predetermined location such as a manufacturing terminal in the game field. 106 characters are moved. In response to this, the terminal device 100B displays, for example, a signboard setting window on a game screen (not shown). In this signboard setting window, it is possible to set, for example, the types of items that can be ordered (hereinafter referred to as “craft recipes”) and edit advertisements for appealing in ordering.

In the above signboard setting window, the second player 106 sets a craft recipe such as “Beginning Strike Weapon Lv.1”, “Intermediate Legal Weapon Lv.5”, “Advanced Shooting Weapon Lv.10”, etc. Then, the terminal device 100B transmits the craft recipe, ID, character name, and the like to the server unit 102. Similarly, when the second player 106 edits the advertisement in the signboard setting window, the terminal device 100 </ b> B transmits the advertisement editing information, the ID, the character name, and the like to the server unit 102. And the communication part 108 of the server part 102 receives setting information and ID from the terminal device 100B.

(SP12) In response to the reception of the communication unit 108, for example, the setting unit 124 of the server unit 102 stores the received information as a part of the order setting list 116 stored in the storage unit 110. As a result, the second player 106 is set to receive an order for manufacturing from the first player 104, for example.

(SP14) On the other hand, the first player 104 moves the character of the first player 104 to a predetermined place such as a manufacturing terminal existing in the game field during the game. In response to this, the terminal device 100A displays, for example, a window 130 shown in FIG. 8 on a game screen (not shown).

The window 130 includes, for example, an item 130A “Craft”. Then, the terminal device 100A displays the window 132 shown in FIG. 8 in response to the selection of the item 130A in the window 130 by the first player 104, for example. “Craft” means manufacture according to the first embodiment, and “crafter” means a character of the manufacturer, for example, the second player 106.

The window 132 includes, for example, an item 132A “Crafter search” in which all character names that can be requested for manufacturing can be searched. In addition to this, the window 132 is limited to, for example, an item 132B for searching for a crafter from among limited friends of the first player 104 and a member of a team to which the first player 104 belongs. In addition, an item 132C “search for a crafter from a team member” for searching for a crafter from within, and an item 132D “requesting purchase order” for checking the content currently requested are included. Then, the terminal device 100A displays the window 134 shown in FIG. 8 in response to the selection of the item 132A in the window 132 by the first player 104, for example.

The window 134 includes, for example, an item “Search by Armed Extend” that can request the manufacture of equipment, and an item “Search by Technique Customization” that can request the manufacture of an item that can acquire the technique.
The term “armed extend” refers to the meaning of expanding, adjusting, and improving the performance of an item of a certain equipment material, and this meaning is included in “manufacturing”. However, “manufacturing” may include the meaning of newly manufacturing an item from a state where there is no material, or newly manufacturing an item of a type completely different from the material even if the material is necessary. The equipment includes weapons, armor, accessories, and the like, but “manufacturing” may include the meaning of expanding, adjusting, and improving the performance of items other than the equipment.

Then, the terminal device 100A displays the window 136 shown in FIG. 8, for example, in response to the selection of the item 134A in the window 134 by the first player 104.

The window 136 includes, for example, an item 136A “search from possession” and an item 136B “search from craft recipe” to search from possession possessed by the first player 104. Then, the terminal device 100A displays a window 138 shown in FIG. 8, for example, in response to the selection of the item 136B in the window 136 by the first player 104.

The window 138 includes, for example, a plurality of craft recipe items such as an item 138A “Beginning batting weapon Lv.1” and an item 138B “Beginning batting weapon Lv.2”. Note that when the window 138 is displayed, a window indicating necessary material and recipe information corresponding to the selected item may be displayed at the same time. Then, for example, in response to the selection of the item 138A in the window 138 by the first player 104, the terminal device 100A receives the selection information from the window 132 to the window 138, the ID and character name of the first player 104, and the server unit 102. Send to. The communication unit 108 of the server unit 102 receives each piece of information from the terminal device 100B.

(SP16) The mediation unit 122 of the server unit 102 reads the order setting list 116 in response to reception by the communication unit 108. Then, the mediation unit 122 searches the order setting list 116 for a character name that matches each information received by the communication unit 108.

(SP18) The mediation unit 122 returns the character name obtained by the search and the corresponding craft recipe setting and advertisement information to the terminal device 100A via the communication unit 108. The terminal device 100A displays a window 140 shown in FIG. 8 based on the character name received from the mediation unit 122. At the same time, the terminal device 100A displays a window 142 shown in FIG. 8 based on the craft recipe setting and advertisement information received from the mediation unit 122. In addition, after the display of the window 140, a window indicating the necessary material and recipe information of the recipe corresponding to the selected character name may be displayed.

The window 140 includes, for example, at least one character name item as a candidate for a character who can request (order) manufacturing. The items include, for example, an item 140A having a character name “Taro Taro”, an item 140B having a character name “AAA ★”, an item 140C having a character name “BBB”, and the like.

When the window 140 is displayed, the window 140 may be displayed in a predetermined order or designated by the first player 104 from the viewpoint of improving selection efficiency. For example, the mediator 122 may rearrange the character names in advance before replying so that the character names are displayed in ascending order of the number of requests for manufacturing. In the window 140, the character name is displayed, but the name of the second player 106 may be displayed. In addition, for example, when the window 140 is displayed, the mediation unit 122 may rearrange the character names in advance before replying so that the character names are displayed with priority on the currently logged-in person.
In addition, when the window 140 is displayed, for example, the mediator 122 displays the character names in the order of the friend of the character of the first player 104, the same team as the team to which the character of the first player 104 belongs, and the general public. May sort the character names in advance before replying. In addition, the mediator 122 may rearrange the character names in advance before replying so that the character names are displayed in descending order of Lv for manufacturing. Of course, the terminal device 100A may perform the above rearrangement.

The window 142 includes, for example, information on the name of a character, an orderable recipe, and an advertisement related to the item selected in the window 140. The first player 104 selects an item (character name) in the window 140 while viewing each piece of information in the window 142.

The terminal device 100A moves the character of the first player 104 to a room owned by the character of the second player 106, for example, in response to selection of an item in the window 140 by the first player 104. For example, the first player 104 activates a manufacturing terminal for the second player 106 in the destination room. However, the movement and activation described above are arbitrary, and the terminal device 100A may proceed to the process of step SP20 or step SP22 without moving or activating.

(SP20) The terminal device 100A displays the window 150 shown in FIG. Window 150 includes an item 150A “Craft”. Then, for example, in response to selection of the item 150A in the window 150 by the first player 104, the terminal device 100A inquires of the server unit 102 whether or not the order can be placed.

The window 170 includes, for example, an item 170A for “KATANA A”, an item 170B for “KATANA B”, and an item 170C for “KATANA C”. While watching the window 170, the first player 104 selects an item item to be adjusted or improved, for example, with the armed extend.

In response to the selection of an item in the window 170 by the first player 104, the terminal device 100A displays a window 172 corresponding to the item shown in FIG. At the same time, the terminal device 100A may display a window 174 and a window 176 shown in FIG.

The window 172 is a confirmation window for determining whether or not to place an order for armed extend, and includes a “Yes” button 172A for instructing to place an order and a “No” button 172B for instructing not to place an order. . The window 172 may include a column for selecting an auxiliary item. By using this auxiliary item, for example, it is possible to relax the equipment requirements of weapons that can be created after armed extension.
Window 174 shows the contents of the armed extend.
Window 176 shows the necessary material for the armed extend.

(SP38) In response to pressing of the “Yes” button 172A by the first player 104, the terminal device 100A displays, for example, “I ordered a craft” in a window (not shown). Further, the terminal device 100A transmits, for example, information related to the order selected in step SP14 and subsequent steps (simply referred to as “manufacturing request”) to the server unit 102. Then, the communication unit 108 of the server unit 102 receives the manufacturing request from the terminal device 100A. This manufacturing request includes, for example, the ID of the first player 104 and the name of the character of the manufacturing request source. The manufacturing request includes, for example, any one of the unordered box fields 152A to 152F selected in the window 152 and the second player of the manufacturing request destination that is the item selected in the window 154. The name of 106 characters (which may be the ID of the second player) and the craft recipe which is the item selected in the window 158 are included. In addition, for example, an item that is a source of an armed extend that is an item selected in the window 170 and necessary materials necessary for the armed extend are included. However, if the item that is the source of the armed extend can be grasped, the necessary material may not be transmitted if the necessary material can be grasped on the server unit 102 side. In addition, since each information of the manufacturing request includes information that is once transmitted to the server unit 102 in each of the above steps, if the server unit 102 stores the information, the information is not transmitted again. Also good.

(SP40) The setting unit 124 of the server unit 102 stores information related to the manufacturing request in the request list 118 in response to the reception of the manufacturing request from the communication unit 108. In addition, the setting unit 124 temporarily transfers data related to the manufacturing request from the player ownership information table 112 to the temporary storage information table 114.

Also, the setting unit 124 determines, among the storages 1 to 6 in the temporary storage information table 114, those corresponding to the identification information in the box fields 152A to 152F in the manufacturing request as temporary data migration destination candidates. . Based on these two determinations of data migration destination candidates, the setting unit 124 identifies a migration destination area (cell) 114A that is a data migration destination. 4 and 5, the row with the ID “1” in the player possession information table 112 is the data migration source, and the ID “1” in the temporary storage information table 114 and the storage 1 to 6 “1”. The area of “Storage 1” is the data migration destination, that is, the migration destination area 114A.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the setting unit 124 selects items corresponding to these items in the player possession information table 112 based on the items and necessary materials that are the source of the armed extend in the manufacturing request. Data is migrated from the data migration source to the migration destination area 114A. In FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the information related to the migration of the data migration source is deleted at the time of data migration. However, money is not erased, but the money required for armed extend is subtracted from the current money.
When the manufacturing request is canceled, the information related to the migration is restored to the data migration source. As a result, the setting unit 124 prohibits the first player 104 from using the material while there is no material related to data transfer in the player possession information table 112 while the manufacturing request is issued from the first player 104. Will do. The setting unit 124 also stores the name of the character of the second player 106 that is the manufacturing request destination (may be the ID of the second player) and the craft recipe in the transfer destination area 114A in the manufacturing request.
Further, the setting unit 124 corresponds to the ID of the first player 104 and the transition destination area that does not correspond to the ID of the second player 106 for the item and the necessary material of the armed extend for the manufacture of an item to be described later. 114A, the second player 106 is allowed to use the material from the first player 104 for manufacturing the item, and is prohibited from using the material from the first player 104 except for the item manufacturing. Will do.

(SP42) The setting unit 124 of the server unit 102 transmits each piece of information corresponding to the ID of the first player 104 in the temporary storage information table 114 to the terminal device 100A via the communication unit 108.

The terminal device 100A displays a window 176 shown in FIG. 10 for confirmation to the first player 104 based on the information received from the setting unit 124. The window 176 shows the same information as the window 152 shown in FIG. That is, the window 176 shows the order contents currently requested by the first player 104. The window 176 includes box fields 176A to 176F generated based on each information received from the mediation unit 122. The box column 176A corresponds to the ID storage 1 of the first player 104 in the temporary storage information table 114. Similarly, the box fields 176B to 176F correspond to ID storages 2 to 6 of the first player 104 in the temporary storage information table 114, respectively.

For example, in the box field 176A shown in FIG. 10, the storage 1 whose ID is “1” in the temporary storage information table 114 shown in FIG. Since the character name “★ AAA ★” is included, “★ AAA ★” is shown as the contractor name, and “Katana A” is shown as the item name. The box column 176A may also indicate an order date when the first player 104 places an order. Further, for example, the box fields 176B to 176E shown in FIG. 10 indicate that the orders 2 to 6 with the ID “1” in the temporary storage information table 114 shown in FIG. Yes.

(SP44) Based on the ID of the second player 106 in the manufacturing request, the mediation unit 122 of the server unit 102 notifies the second player 106 that the manufacturing request has been made via the communication unit 108. The notification method is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include text messages, mails, voices, vibrations, and the like.

(SP46) On the other hand, the second player 106 who has received the notification moves the character of the second player 106 to a predetermined location such as a manufacturing terminal existing in the game field during the game. In response to this, the terminal device 100B displays, for example, a window 180 shown in FIG. 11 on a game screen (not shown).

The window 180 includes, for example, an item 180A “craft by yourself” and an item 180B “craft from request”. For example, in response to the selection of the item 180B in the window 180 by the second player 106, the terminal device 100A inquires the server unit 102 for a manufacturing request addressed to the character of the second player 106. Then, the communication unit 108 of the server unit 102 receives an inquiry from the terminal device 100B.

(SP48) The mediation unit 122 of the server unit 102 reads the request list 118 in response to reception by the communication unit 108. Then, if there is a manufacturing request that matches the ID of the second player 106 as a manufacturing request destination in the request list 118, the mediation unit 122 acquires information related to the matching manufacturing request.

(SP50) The mediation unit 122 returns information relating to the matching manufacturing request to the terminal device 100B via the communication unit 108. The terminal device 100B displays the window 182 shown in FIG. 11 based on the information related to the manufacturing request received from the mediation unit 122.

In the window 182, manufacturing requests for the character of the second player 106 are shown as a list. In this list, for example, for each name of the ordering requester, the requested item of the armed extend and the request date are described. The second player 106 selects the name of one order requester from the list while looking at the window 182.

In response to the selection, the terminal device 100B displays the window 184 so as to overlap the window 182. The window 184 includes, for example, an item 184A “Receiving a request”.

In response to the selection of the item 184A by the second player 106, the terminal device 100B displays the window 186 shown in FIG. Note that an inquiry may be made to the server unit 102 as appropriate during this display.

In the window 186, for example, nine manufacturing areas 186A to 186H (craft lines) are displayed. The window 186 is used to select which manufacturing region 186A to 186H to manufacture. One manufacturing area 186A can be used at any time during use or within a certain period of time after use, and the remaining eight manufacturing areas 186B to 186H can be used when certain conditions are met. .

In response to the selection of the item 184A by the second player 106, the terminal device 100B displays a window 188 shown in FIG. At the same time, the terminal device 100B may display the window 190 and the window 192 shown in FIG.

The window 188 is for confirming whether or not to execute the requested content. The window 188 includes a “Yes” button 188A for instructing to place an order and a “No” button 188B for instructing not to place an order. The window 188 may include a column for selecting an auxiliary item.

Window 192 shows the necessary material for the armed extend.

(SP52) In response to pressing of the “Yes” button 188A by the second player 106, the terminal device 100B transmits an execution instruction for the content related to the manufacturing request to the server unit 102. Then, the communication unit 108 of the server unit 102 receives an execution instruction from the terminal device 100B.

(SP54) The manufacturing unit 120 of the server unit 102 reads the temporary storage information table 114 in response to receiving the execution instruction of the communication unit 108. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the manufacturing unit 120 acquires information on the area 114B (cell) related to the execution instruction in the temporary storage information table 114, and deletes the information from the area 114B.

The manufacturing unit 120 manufactures a new item (armed extend) based on the material that is the source of armed extend in the acquired information and other necessary materials excluding money. Note that the item obtained by this manufacturing may be called a “new item” because the performance is different even if the type is the same as the material from which the armed extend is based. In addition, this manufacturing may be successful or very successful. In the case of great success, an item having higher parameters (for example, attack power) is manufactured than in the case of success. The probability of success and the probability of success may depend on the status of the crafter (for example, referred to as crafter level). For example, if the crafter level of the second player 106 is higher than the crafter level of the first player 104, the first player 104 is manufactured based on the crafter level of the first player 104, and the second player When the manufacture is requested to 106, the manufacture is performed based on the crafter level of the second player 106. Therefore, the probability of great success is higher when the manufacture is requested to the second plier 106. This manufacturing may also include cases where it fails.

(SP56) The manufacturing unit 120 passes information related to the new manufactured item to the setting unit 124. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the setting unit 124 stores the new item manufactured based on the information in the area 114 </ b> B related to the execution instruction in the temporary storage information table 114. Note that the area 114B is associated with the ID of the first player 104 who requested the manufacture and is not associated with the ID of the second player 106, and therefore, the area cannot be used by the second player 106. That is, the setting unit 124 stores the new item manufactured by the manufacturing unit 120 through the mediation of the mediation unit 122 in the area 114B associated with the ID of the first player 104 who has requested the manufacture, so that the new item is stored. Is automatically set as the property of the first player 104.

(SP58) The manufacturing unit 120 performs processing so that all or part of the money that is one of the materials required for manufacturing is handed over to the second player 106 as a reward. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the manufacturing unit 120 adds all or one of the money required for manufacturing to the money corresponding to the ID of the second player 106 that executed the manufacturing in the player ownership information table 112. Add parts. In FIG. 6, for example, in the money column corresponding to ID “2” in the player possession information table 112, “50”, which is part of the money “1000” required for manufacturing, is added to “4200000”. “4200050”. Thus, when a part of money is added, the rest is erased.

(SP60) After setting by the setting unit 124, the mediation unit 122 transmits information on the manufactured new item to the terminal device 100B via the communication unit 108. Based on the information received from the manufacturing unit 120, the terminal device 100B displays the window 192 shown in FIG. At the same time or thereafter, the terminal device 100B may display the window 194 based on the information received from the manufacturing unit 120.

The mediation unit 122 of the server unit 102 notifies the manufacturing request source of the manufacturing request received by the second player 106. Thereafter, for example, the processing after step SP38 is performed.

It should be noted that processing similar to steps SP40 to SP42 may already be performed, for example, data migration is temporarily performed before request setting is performed.

As described above, according to the game system according to the second embodiment, the type of item that the first player 104 desires to request can be set. In other words, since the first player 104 can make a production request without searching for a production request destination, the number of production requests increases, thereby enhancing the interest of the game. Of course, the type of items that the second player 106 can receive orders can be set, and the type of items that the first player 104 wants to request may be set.

<< Modification >>
As mentioned above, although several embodiment of the technique which this application discloses was described, the technique which this application discloses is not limited above.

For example, the first server group 16 or the second server group 18 can be omitted. When the second server group 18 is omitted, the second game device 14 can also be omitted.

In step SP40, the setting unit 124 has explained the case where the information related to the manufacturing request is temporarily transferred from the player possession information table 112 to the temporary storage information table 114. However, this data transfer is omitted. Can do. In this case, the new item manufactured by the second player 106 is stored as it is in the player possession information table 112 and automatically set as the possession of the first player 104. Similarly, if temporary, information related to the manufacturing request may be transferred from the first information 111 of the player possession information table 112 to the second information 113. In this case, it is preferable to prohibit the use of information (material) related to the manufacturing request by the second player 106 other than manufacturing.

In step SP56, the setting unit 124 has described the case in which the manufactured new item is stored in the temporary storage information table 114 as one of the first information 111 associated with the ID of the first player 104. The player possession information table 112 or the temporary storage information table 114 may be stored as one of the second information 113 associated with the ID of the second player 106. In this case, for example, when a fixed period or an indefinite period has elapsed, such as one minute or one day after storage, the setting unit 124 changes the manufactured new item from the second information 113 to the first information 111. It shifts and is automatically set as the possession of the 1st player 104. As a result, although temporarily, the second player 106 can use, that is, rent a new item, and can widen the range of game characteristics.

Further, regarding the rental, the material owned by the first player 104 may be rented to the second player 106. In this case, there is no need for a manufacturing process. Specifically, after the material possessed by the first player 104 is transferred to the temporary storage information table 114, the first player 104 indicates an intention to cancel the rental or a predetermined time (a certain period or an indefinite period) elapses. Until then, the second player 106 may be allowed to use materials other than manufacturing. Thereby, it is possible to make the second player 106 try the use of the material temporarily while suppressing the escape of the material by the second player 106.

In the first and second embodiments, the mediation unit 122 mediates a production request from the first player 104 to the second player 106, and the production is performed by the second player 106. However, the mediation unit 122 mediates that the first player 104 borrows its manufacturing ability from the second player 106, and the production is performed by the first player 104 himself who borrows the manufacturing ability of the second player 106. Also good. Even in such a case, the second player 106 does not manufacture, and therefore never owns a new item. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the second player 104 from escaping with a new item.
