Description

Programs and information processing equipment

The present invention relates to a program and an information processing device.

Conventionally, there has been known a game that consumes a player's parameter (stamina) when one of a plurality of game parts (quests) is selected by the player.

In this regard, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for recovering a parameter to a maximum value with the passage of time and recovering the parameter regardless of the maximum value (exceeding the maximum value) by using a recovery item or the like. There is.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2014-155546

However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 is a case where the parameter is recovered at a timing when the player cannot play the game immediately, such as the timing of changing trains or the timing of sudden errands, and the parameter after recovery is It is not assumed that the value is above the maximum value. In this case, since the parameter is greater than or equal to the maximum value, it will not recover over time, and normally, even if you do not recover using recovery items, etc., you cannot play the game. The player loses the amount of recovery that should have been recovered over time. For example, if the parameter before recovery is "20", the maximum value is "80", and the parameter after recovery is "100", the recovery should have been recovered by the passage of time while the game cannot be played. The minute "60 (= 80-20)" is lost. A player who is afraid of losing in this way has a problem of refraining from recovering parameters.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a program and an information processing device that allows a player to easily recover parameters consumed by selecting a game part.

In order to solve the above problems, the program according to the first aspect of the present invention includes the display control means for displaying and controlling the current value of the parameter corresponding to the player of the game and the maximum value of the parameter, the game. A consumption means that consumes a value corresponding to one game part selected by a player from a plurality of game parts, and a first recovery means that recovers the current value to the maximum value with the passage of time. The second recovery means for recovering the current value to a value equal to or higher than the maximum value when the first condition different from the passage of time is satisfied, and the second condition different from the first condition is satisfied. It functions as a canceling means for canceling the recovery by the second recovery means, and a granting means for giving the player a virtual object that can be used for the game when the recovery is canceled by the canceling means.

Further, in the program according to the second aspect of the present invention, the cancellation means automatically cancels the recovery when the second condition is satisfied.

Further, in the program according to the third aspect of the present invention, the second condition includes a condition that the game part is not executed by the player within a predetermined time from the recovery by the second recovery means.

Further, in the program according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, when the recovery by the second recovery means is canceled, the first recovery means elapses between the recovery by the second recovery means and the cancellation. The current value is recovered according to the above.

Further, in the program according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the degree of recovery of the first recovery means when the recovery by the second recovery means is canceled is other than the case where the recovery by the second recovery means is cancelled. It is lower than the degree of recovery of the first recovery means in the case.

Further, in the program according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the first condition includes a condition that the player has used the item related to recovery, and the virtual object depends on the item used by the player or the item. Includes items.

Further, in the program according to the seventh aspect of the present invention, the virtual object includes an item having a lower value than the item used by the player.

Further, in the program according to the eighth aspect of the present invention, the first condition includes a condition that the rank of the player is increased, and the canceling means recovers the second condition when the second condition is satisfied. The recovery by means is canceled, the rank-up is canceled, and the rank-up is suspended.

Further, the information processing device according to the ninth aspect of the present invention includes display control means for displaying and controlling the current value of a parameter corresponding to a player of the game and the maximum value of the parameter, and a plurality of game parts included in the game. Of the consumption means, which consumes the value corresponding to one game part selected by the player from the current value, the first recovery means which recovers the current value to the maximum value with the passage of time, and the time. A second recovery means for recovering the current value to a value equal to or higher than the maximum value when the first condition different from the elapsed time is satisfied, and the second recovery means when the second condition different from the first condition is satisfied. It includes a canceling means for canceling the recovery by the means, and a granting means for giving the player a virtual object that can be used for the game when the recovery is canceled by the canceling means.

A quest is also called a search, a mission, or the like. In the first embodiment, the case where the game part is a quest will be described. Each of the plurality of quests can be selected by the player on the menu screen of the game or the like. Then, when one quest is selected by the player among a plurality of quests, the value corresponding to the selected one quest is consumed from the current value of the parameter corresponding to the player, and the one game part is used. Will be executed. It should be noted that the value corresponding to one selected quest from the current value of the parameter corresponding to the player may be consumed when the quest is completed (cleared).

The above parameters are expressed by, for example, stamina, physical strength, power, vitality, credits, hit points, action parameters, and the like. In the first embodiment, the case where the parameter is stamina will be described. When this stamina is consumed, for example, "0", the player cannot select or execute a game part. Moreover, even if the stamina is consumed as described above, the stamina gradually recovers to the maximum value with the passage of time. In addition, stamina is restored regardless of the maximum value by increasing the rank of the player or by using a recovery item. The maximum value differs depending on, for example, the rank of the player. In addition, recovery items include, for example, gems called paid stones (paid stones) and free stones (free stones), recovery agents (items that restore stamina), and recovery drinks (items that partially restore stamina). Can be mentioned. A paid stone is a kind of paid item (paid item, charged item) that can be obtained by purchasing. Free stones are a type of free items (free items, non-chargeable items) that can be obtained by playing the game.

<Functional configuration>
FIG. 3 is a block diagram schematically showing an example of the functional configuration of the server device 10.

As shown in FIG. 3, the server device 10 has a storage means 40, a progress means 42, a display control means 44, a consumption means 46, a first recovery means 48, and a second recovery means 50 as functional configurations. The canceling means 52 and the granting means 54 are provided. The storage means 40 is realized by one or more storage devices 28. A functional configuration other than the storage means 40 is realized by the control device 20 executing the game program 14 stored in the storage device 28 or the like.

The storage means 40 is a functional means for storing play data 40A for each user (player) of the terminal device 12. The play data 40A describes the progress of the player's game, various parameters, ranks, identification information and number of characters possessed by the player, identification information and number of items, and the like. Various parameters include, for example, the current value and the maximum value of stamina. In addition, the item identification information includes the recovery item identification information.

The progress means 42 is a functional means for executing and progressing the game according to the operation of the player in the terminal device 12. For example, when one quest is selected by the player among the plurality of quests, the progress means 42 executes the selected one quest.

The display control means 44 is a functional means for displaying and controlling the display device of the terminal device 12 by transmitting display data to the terminal device 12. In the first embodiment, the display control means 44 controls the display of the display device of the terminal device 12 by displaying the current value of the stamina and the maximum value of the stamina corresponding to the player of the game.

The consumption means 46 is a functional means for consuming (subtracting) a value corresponding to one game part selected by the player from a plurality of game parts included in the game from the current value of stamina. Specifically, the consumption means 46 subtracts a value corresponding to one selected quest as a predetermined value from the current value of stamina included in the player's play data 40A. In addition to the value corresponding to one selected quest, the predetermined value may be a fixed value common to the quests or a value that changes according to the time.

The first recovery means 48 is a functional means for recovering the current value of stamina to the maximum value with the passage of time. For example, the first recovery means 48 recovers the current value by incrementing the current value of stamina included in the player's play data 40A every M minutes. Note that M is a positive integer.

The second recovery means 50 is a functional means for recovering the current value of stamina to a value equal to or higher than the maximum value, particularly to a value exceeding the maximum value, when the first condition different from the passage of time is satisfied. Examples of the first condition include a condition that the player has used an item related to recovery (recovery item), a condition that the player's rank has increased, a condition that the recovery privilege has been won by lottery, and the like. In the first embodiment, the first condition is a condition that the player has used the recovery item, and the second recovery means 50 is the player's play data 40A when the condition that the player has used the recovery item is satisfied. By adding the value according to the recovery item to the current value of stamina included in, the current value is recovered (adding the amount up to the maximum value is called "recovery", and the amount exceeding the maximum value is called "recovery". May be referred to as "increase"). For example, if the current value of stamina is "10", the maximum value is "50", and the value corresponding to the recovery item is "50", the current value of stamina after recovery by the second recovery means 50 is "50". The value is "60" regardless of the maximum value, that is, exceeding the maximum value. The value according to the recovery item may be, for example, the maximum value of stamina. The stamina may be recovered by using one recovery item, or the stamina may be recovered by using a plurality of recovery items. The recovery item may be temporarily usable. In this case, the recovery item is actually used (consumed) when the game part is played after the temporary use. The temporarily used recovery item (jewel) may not be usable in a lottery or the like for acquiring a character or the like. Further, although the temporarily used jewel can be used in a lottery or the like for acquiring a character or the like, the recovery by the temporary use may be canceled when the jewel is used in the lottery or the like.

The canceling means 52 is a functional means for manually (manipulating) or automatically canceling all or part of the recovery by the second recovery means 50 when the second condition different from the first condition is satisfied. Specifically, when the second condition is satisfied, the canceling means 52 subtracts a value corresponding to the recovered item used from the current value of stamina included in the player's play data 40A. The second condition is that the player has canceled the recovery within a predetermined time from the recovery by the second recovery means 50, and the recovery by the player without executing the quest from the recovery by the second recovery means 50. The condition that there was a cancel operation can be mentioned. The second condition is that the game part is not executed by the player within a predetermined time from the recovery by the second recovery means 50, or the game is ended within a predetermined time from the recovery by the second recovery means 50. The condition that the game operation was not performed within a predetermined time after the recovery by the second recovery means 50, the condition that the offline was continued for a predetermined time after the recovery by the second recovery means 50, and the like can be mentioned.

The current value of stamina after the recovery is canceled by the canceling means 52 may be the stamina value immediately before the recovery (at the time of using the recovery item) or a value lower than the stamina immediately before the recovery. It may be higher than the previous stamina. If the current value of stamina after the recovery is canceled is lower than the stamina immediately before the recovery, for example, the player can be made to play the game so that the recovery is not canceled, and the interest of the game is Is improved. Further, if the current value of stamina after the recovery is canceled is higher than the stamina immediately before the recovery, for example, the current value of the stamina is the maximum value between the recovery by the second recovery means 50 and the cancellation. It is possible to suppress giving the player a feeling of loss because the recovery by the first recovery means 48 could not be performed due to the fact that the value exceeds the above. In this case, when the recovery by the second recovery means 50 is canceled, the first recovery means 48 recovers the current value of stamina according to the time elapsed between the recovery by the second recovery means 50 and the cancellation. To do. For example, the first recovery means 48 recovers the current value of stamina by the amount of recovery that should have been originally recovered if there is no recovery by the second recovery means 50. Specifically, if the stamina immediately before recovery is "21" and the recovery is canceled after M minutes have passed from the recovery by the second recovery means 50, the first recovery means 48 should have recovered originally. The current value of stamina "21" is restored by the amount of "1" recovered, and as a result, the current value of stamina becomes "22". Further, for example, the first recovery means 48 may recover the current value of stamina by a value less than the recovery amount that should have been originally recovered when the recovery by the second recovery means 50 is not performed. Further, the display control means 44 may display and control the stamina after the recovery is canceled by the cancel means 52 on the terminal device 12 before the recovery is canceled.

Further, when the first condition includes the condition that the rank of the player is increased (ranked up), the canceling means 52 cancels the recovery by the second recovery means 50 and ranks up when the second condition is satisfied. You may suspend the rank-up even if you cancel the above and meet the rank-up condition (the condition that the experience value is equal to or higher than the threshold value). In this case, the second condition is preferably a condition that the player has canceled the operation within a predetermined time or before the quest is played. Further, it is preferable that the hold is continued until a predetermined time from the cancellation of the recovery, until the start of the next game, until the play of the next quest, and until the player performs the rank-up operation.

The granting means 54 is a functional means for granting a virtual object that can be used (usable) to the game to the player when the recovery is canceled by the canceling means 52. Examples of virtual objects include items, pieces of items (those that can be exchanged for items (free stones, etc.) by collecting multiple items), points, experience points, in-game currency, characters, and the like. Items include paid stones, free stones, recovery items that fully recover stamina, recovery items that partially recover stamina, and recovery items that recover stamina only on the day. In addition, the virtual object includes an item used by the player or an item corresponding to the item when the second recovery means 50 recovers. For example, when the item used by the player is a paid stone, the granting means 54 grants a free stone, a recovery item, or the like according to the paid stone. When the item used by the player is a plurality of paid stones, the granting means 54 returns (grant) a part of the paid stones used by the player and used the stones by the player. The remaining number of paid stones may be returned (granted) as free stones. Further, when the item used by the player is a plurality of paid stones, the granting means 54 may return (give) a part of the paid stones used by the player. All of the paid stones used by may be returned (granted) as free stones. Further, the granting means 54 may accept the selection of the virtual object to be granted from the player. For example, does the granting means 54 return a part of the paid stones used by the player and the remaining number of paid stones used by the player as free stones? Alternatively, you may accept the option of returning all of the paid stones used by the player as free stones. Further, for example, the granting means 54 selects whether to return a part of the paid stones used by the player, or to return all the paid stones used by the player as free stones. May be accepted. In addition, the virtual object may include an item having a lower value than the item used by the player. For example, when the item used by the player is a paid stone, the granting means 54 grants a free stone having a lower value than the paid stone, or a recovery item having a narrower use and a lower value than a jewel. Further, when the item used by the player is a free stone, the granting means 54 may grant the free stone or a recovery item having a narrower use and a lower value than the free stone. If the item used by the player is a recovery item other than a jewel, the granting means 54 grants the recovery item used by the player or a recovery item having a smaller recovery amount and a lower value than the recovery item. May be good. Further, the virtual object may include a small number of items as compared with the number of items used by the player. Further, the virtual object may include an item different from the item used by the player.

<Processing flow>
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of a basic processing flow of the game by the progress means 42 and the like shown in FIG. The process shown in FIG. 4 is started when the player gives an instruction to execute the game program 14 in the terminal device 12. In addition, the order of the following processes can be changed as appropriate.

(Step SP10)
The traveling means 42 acquires the player ID of the player transmitted from the terminal device 12. Subsequently, the progress means 42 acquires play data 40A (hereinafter, referred to as player play data 40A) corresponding to the acquired player ID. Subsequently, the progress means 42 reflects the acquired play data 40A in the game. Subsequently, the display control means 44 controls the display of a menu screen (not shown) on the terminal device 12. This menu screen is configured so that the terminal device 12 can accept from the player a selection operation for selecting one of a plurality of quests included in the game, an operation for using a recovery item, an operation for ending the game, and the like. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP12.

(Step SP12)
The proceeding means 42 determines whether or not the terminal device 12 has accepted the quest selection operation based on the operation signal from the terminal device 12. Then, when the determination is affirmative, the process shifts to the process of step SP14, and when the determination is negative, the process shifts to the process of step SP24.

(Step SP14)
The consumption means 46 consumes a value corresponding to one selected quest from the current value of stamina associated with the player, that is, the current value of stamina included in the play data 40A. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP16.

(Step SP16)
The progress means 42 executes one selected quest and proceeds according to the operation of the player in the terminal device 12. Here, when one quest is completed, the progress means 42 adds the experience value according to the play result of the one quest by the player to the current experience value included in the player's play data 40A. Then, the process proceeds to the process of step SP18.

(Step SP18)
Based on the player's play data 40A, the progress means 42 determines whether or not the player's experience value is equal to or greater than the threshold value corresponding to the next rank of the player's current rank. Then, when the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP20, and when the determination is negative, the process returns to the process of step SP10.

(Step SP20)
The progress means 42 ranks up by adding "1" to the current rank included in the player's play data 40A. Further, according to the rank increase, the progress means 42 updates various parameters of the player included in the player's play data 40A. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP22.

(Step SP22)
The second recovery means 50 recovers the player's stamina beyond the maximum value regardless of the maximum value. Specifically, the second recovery means 50 adds the maximum value of stamina to the current value of stamina included in the player's play data 40A. For example, when the current value of stamina is "10" and the maximum value of stamina is "50", the current value of stamina after addition is "60" which exceeds the maximum value. Then, the process returns to the process of step SP10.

(Step SP24)
If a negative determination is made in step SP12, the progress means 42 determines whether or not the terminal device 12 has accepted the operation of using the recovery item by the player based on the operation signal from the terminal device 12. Then, when the determination is affirmative, the process shifts to the process of step SP26, and when the determination is negative, the process shifts to the process of step SP28.

(Step SP26)
The second recovery means 50 consumes the player's recovery item and recovers the player's stamina beyond the maximum value regardless of the maximum value. Specifically, the second recovery means 50 subtracts the number of recovery items included in the player's play data 40A, and sets the current value of stamina included in the player's play data 40A to the value corresponding to the recovery item. to add. For example, when the current value of stamina is "10", the maximum value of stamina is "50", and the corresponding value is "100", the current value of stamina after addition is the maximum value. It becomes "110" that exceeds. Then, the process returns to the process of step SP10.

(Step SP28)
If a negative determination is made in step SP24, the progress means 42 determines whether or not the terminal device 12 has accepted the end operation of the game by the player based on the operation signal from the terminal device 12. Then, when the determination is affirmative, the series of processes shown in FIG. 4 is completed, and when the determination is negative, the process returns to the process of step SP10.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing flow by the canceling means 52 and the granting means 54 shown in FIG. The process shown in FIG. 5 is started periodically, for example, every 0.1 seconds. In addition, the order of the following processes can be changed as appropriate.

(Step SP40)
In step SP26, the canceling means 52 determines whether or not the player's stamina has been restored by the recovery item. Then, when the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP42, and when the determination is negative, the series of processes shown in FIG. 5 ends.

(Step SP42)
The canceling means 52 displays, for example, the remaining time, a cancel button, or the like on the menu screen. The remaining time is a time obtained by subtracting the elapsed time elapsed from the recovery by the second recovery means 50 from a predetermined predetermined time, and is a time during which the recovery can be canceled. The cancel button is a button for canceling the recovery by the second recovery means 50.

FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a part of the menu screen 100 immediately before the stamina is restored by the second recovery means 50. FIG. 6B is a diagram showing a part of the menu screen 100 immediately after the stamina is restored by the second recovery means 50.

As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the menu screen 100 is provided with a first display column 102, a second display column 104, and a third display column 106. In the first display column 102, the current value and the maximum value of the stamina of the player are represented by numerical values, and the current value of the stamina is represented by a bar. The current rank of the player is represented in the second display column 104. In the third display column 106, paid stones and free stones owned (possessed) by the player are numerically represented. Further, in FIG. 6B, in addition to the display columns 102 to 106 described above, the remaining time 108 and the cancel button 110 are shown. When the remaining time 108 becomes "0", the display of the remaining time 108 and the cancel button 110 is erased. Further, when the cancel button 110 is pressed, the display control means 44 may display and control the terminal device 12 with a confirmation screen for confirming whether or not to cancel the recovery by the second recovery means 50.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a confirmation screen 120 displayed on the terminal device 12 when the cancel button 110 is pressed on the menu screen 100 shown in FIG. 6 (B).

As shown in FIG. 7, the confirmation screen 120 is provided with, for example, a sentence confirming whether or not to cancel the recovery by the second recovery means 50, as well as a “yes” button 122 and a “no” button 124. Has been done.

Returning to FIG. 5, the process shifts to the process of step SP44. The process of this step SP42 may be omitted.

(Step SP44)
The canceling means 52 measures the elapsed time from the recovery by the second recovery means 50. Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP46. The canceling means 52 may measure the remaining time instead of the elapsed time.

(Step SP46)
The canceling means 52 determines whether or not the terminal device 12 has accepted the pressing operation of the cancel button 110 based on the operation signal from the terminal device 12. When the confirmation screen 120 is displayed when the cancel button 110 is pressed, the canceling means 52 causes the terminal device 12 to press the "Yes" button 122 based on the operation signal from the terminal device 12. Determine if it has been accepted. Then, when the determination is affirmative, the process shifts to the process of step SP52, and when the determination is negative, the process shifts to the process of step SP48.

(Step SP48)
The canceling means 52 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the recovery by the second recovery means 50, that is, whether or not the remaining time has reached "0". Then, when the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP50, and when the determination is negative, the process returns to the process of step SP44.

(Step SP50)
The canceling means 52 determines whether or not the second condition is satisfied. In the first embodiment, did the canceling means 52 satisfy the condition that the quest was not executed by the player within a predetermined time from the recovery by the second recovery means 50 (the player within a predetermined time from the recovery by the second recovery means 50)? Whether or not the quest was selected by) is determined. Then, when the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP52, and when the determination is negative, the series of processes shown in FIG. 5 ends.

(Step SP52)
The canceling means 52 cancels the recovery by the second recovery means 50. Specifically, the canceling means 52 subtracts the recovery amount of the used recovery item from the current value of stamina included in the player's play data 40A. Then, the process proceeds to the process of step SP54.

(Step SP54)
The first recovery means 48 recovers the current value of stamina according to the elapsed time elapsed from the recovery by the second recovery means 50 to the cancellation. The degree of recovery of the first recovery means 48 when the recovery by the second recovery means 50 is canceled is the normal recovery of the first recovery means 48 except when the recovery by the second recovery means 50 is cancelled. It is preferably lower than the degree. For example, assuming that the elapsed time is the same, the first recovery means 48 when the normal recovery degree of the first recovery means 48 is "6" but the recovery by the second recovery means 50 is canceled. The degree of recovery of is preferably "3" or the like, which is lower than "6". Then, the process shifts to the process of step SP56.

(Step SP56)
The granting means 54 determines whether the recovery item used by the player is a paid stone. Then, when the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP58, and when the determination is negative, the process returns to the process of step SP60.

(Step SP58)
The granting means 54 grants X items having a lower value than the paid stones used by the player, for example, free stones. Specifically, the granting means 54 adds X to the current value of the free stone included in the player's play data 40A. Note that X is a positive integer. Further, X is the same as the number of paid stones used by the player or less than the number of paid stones used by the player. Then, a series of processes shown in FIG. 5 is completed.

(Step SP60)
If a negative determination is made in step SP56, the granting means 54 grants Y free stones. Specifically, the granting means 54 adds Y to the current value of the free stone included in the player's play data 40A. Note that Y is a positive integer and may be the same as or different from X. Further, Y is the same as the number of free stones used by the player or less than the number of free stones used by the player. Then, a series of processes shown in FIG. 5 is completed.

For example, in the first embodiment described above, the canceling means 52 describes the case where the recovery of stamina is canceled regardless of whether or not the stamina exceeds the maximum value, but only when the stamina exceeds the maximum value. , You may cancel the recovery of stamina.

Further, in the first embodiment described above, the case where the second recovery means 50 recovers the current value of stamina regardless of the maximum value has been described, but the current value of stamina may be recovered to the maximum value. Even in this case, the stamina does not recover with the passage of time, but the player can easily recover the stamina by the configuration of the first embodiment.

Further, in the first embodiment, the case where the granting means 54 grants the virtual object to the player who satisfies the second condition when the recovery is canceled by the canceling means 52 has been described. It may be given to another player different from the player. In this case, the other player is preferably a person related to the player, for example, a friend of the player or a member of the group to which the player belongs, from the viewpoint that the recovery can be canceled more easily. In addition, even if it is another player who is hostile to the player, there may be another player who wants to support, so the other player is not limited to a person related to the player. Further, in this case, the virtual object may be stamina. Further, the granting means 54 may grant a virtual object to both the player and another player. Further, the granting means 54 may accept selection of a target (player) to grant a virtual object from a player who satisfies the second condition. In this case, the granting means 54 grants a virtual object to the selected target.

Further, in the second embodiment, the case where the terminal device 12 accepts the selection of the privilege by the rank-up from the player has been described, but the selection of the timing of the rank-up may be accepted from the player. In this case, the progress means 42 determines whether or not the player has accepted the selection of the rank-up timing based on the operation data transmitted from the terminal device 12. For example, when the condition for rank-up is satisfied, the progress means 42 determines whether or not the player has accepted the selection of whether or not to perform rank-up immediately. Then, the progress means 42 executes the rank-up when the determination is affirmed, and suspends the rank-up until a predetermined time or the operation of the player when the determination is negative. According to this configuration, a player who has time to play the game chooses to rank up now and plays the game, and a player who does not have time to play the game does not rank up now. You can select to recover your stamina for a while and then rank up. Also, the rank up may be suspended until the stamina is restored to the maximum value. When the stamina is restored to the maximum value, the traveling means 42 may automatically rank up.

Further, in the second embodiment, the case where the stamina recovery or the item can be selected as the rank-up privilege has been described, but the rank-up privilege is the recovery of stamina, and even if the player cannot select it. Good. In this case, the granting means 54 may grant the item to the player over time instead of recovering the stamina while the stamina exceeds the maximum value.

Further, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the case where the maximum value of stamina is fixed has been described, but the second recovery means 50 is when the stamina is recovered when the recovery item is used or when the rank is increased. Alternatively, when recovered, the maximum stamina may be temporarily increased. For example, the second recovery means 50 doubles or triples the maximum value of stamina from the recovery by the second recovery means 50 to the play of the next quest, or from the recovery by the second recovery means 50 to a predetermined time. It may rise.

Further, in the second embodiment described above, the case where the canceling means 52 is omitted has been described, but it may not be omitted.

Further, in the third embodiment, even when the player satisfies the condition that the recovery item is used and the stamina exceeds the maximum value, the case where the stamina is consumed up to the maximum value with the passage of time has been described. When the condition of use is satisfied and the stamina exceeds the maximum value, it is not necessary to consume the stamina over time.

Further, in the third embodiment described above, the case where the privilege is given to the player instead of consuming the stamina has been described, but the privilege does not have to be given. Also, instead of consuming stamina, benefits may be given to other players. In this case, the other player is preferably a person related to the player, for example, a friend of the player or a member of the group to which the player belongs, from the viewpoint that the stamina can be recovered more easily.
