[Game description]
The game will be described to aid in understanding the present invention. The game described in the present invention will be described by taking as an example a battle game using the first game element owned by the player in the above-mentioned game system.

Here, the first game element is a character, and is represented as an image including a still image and a moving image, a virtual or substantial article, or the like. An example of a virtual or tangible article is, for example, a virtual card displayed on a computer, a tangible card, or the like. The first game element is used as a means of attack or defense used by players (including non-players operated by computers) in in-game battles. The article is not limited to the card, but is not limited to the card as long as the article is configured so that the game element associated with the article can be specified. The article may be, for example, a modeled object such as a figure having the appearance of a game element.

In the following description, it is assumed that the first game element that can be made to appear by using the card in the game to be executed is a character whose behavior is controlled based on the operation of the player, and the character corresponding to the card. (The image showing the appearance of the character) is attached. Furthermore, the card for specifying the game element of the game to be executed is not limited to the one that can specify the game element such as a character, and the item, the effect to be activated, etc. Needless to say, it may specify other game elements.

The front side and the back side of the card are virtually prepared like the actual card. The surface is depicted with at least one of a character that can uniquely distinguish cards, a character's abilities, items, effects to activate, and attributes. The player can visually determine the type of card by looking at the surface of the card. On the back side of one side, a pattern common to all cards is drawn so that the type of card cannot be identified. The type of card is defined as the ability of the character associated with the card and the card attributes (for example, rarity, colors such as red / blue / yellow / green / purple / white, numbers, etc.). show.

Further, in the battle battle game to which the present invention is applied, a second game element different from the first game element is added. Although the second game element is a character, it does not necessarily have to be associated with a virtual or physical article.

The second game element has a property of providing the player with operation assistance information which is information related to the progress of the game, at least in the operable phase during the battle in the game. In other words, the second game element autonomously or voluntarily provides operation assistance information in the game, unlike the first game element in which the action is controlled based on the player's operation. I can say.

The operation assistance information provided by the second game element may be of any type as long as it is information related to the game, but for example, explanations such as explanations of operation methods, operation instructions, and explanations of terms are necessary for the progress of the game. Information, information on the selection or action of the first game element (card selection, advice information on the opponent's card to be attacked, etc.), information that favors the progress of the match in the game (advantages in winning or losing the game match) Strategy information, etc., which is a strategy for capturing battles, such as (advice information such as presentation of the type of card to be used).

The second game element is acquired by selecting from a plurality of second game elements. As the second game element, the first game element can be used in the game. Using the first game element includes selecting the first game element or determining the behavior of the character of the first game element in the game. Assuming that the first game element is, for example, a card, the second game element autonomously or voluntarily (actively) determines the selection of the card or the action (behavior) of the character of the card in the in-game battle. In other words, it performs the same operation as the selection of the first game element or the determination of the character's behavior of the card, which is performed by the player, like the function of a non-player operated by a computer. .. However, the conventional non-player is operated by a computer instead of the human player, but the second game element exists separately from the human player and differs in that the first game element is used. .. Then, unlike the conventional non-player, the player and the second game element form one group (pair) and play against the opponent player.

The second game element is called a buddy or codeman and has character information. This character information is the strength (level) and attribute information (gender, personality, etc.) of the game of the second game element. The character information affects the autonomous or spontaneous (active) behavior (use of the first game element) of the second game element. In other words, character information is the ability of the second game element, and the difference in this ability causes the autonomous or spontaneous (active) behavior of the second game element (use of the first game element). It's different. Then, this character information changes when the second game element is selected or as the game progresses.

The autonomous or voluntary (active) action by the second game element as described above is performed based on the information given by the AI function provided in the game server 2. This AI function is an AI function obtained by machine learning using the contents of the game progress of many battle games, the results of the battle, the outcome of the battle, and the like as teacher data. The machine learning method is typically, but not limited to, deep learning, reinforcement learning, or a combination thereof.

Further, the content or the timing of providing the autonomous or voluntary operation assistance information of the second game element changes depending on the character information of the second game element. This character information changes as the game progresses. Character information can have a plurality of parameters. For example, in the present embodiment, the character information includes a parameter that changes depending on the experience value obtained by winning or losing the game (hereinafter, referred to as a level) and a parameter that changes depending on the frequency of use of the type of the first game element (hereinafter, referred to as a level). (Described as card comprehension), parameters that change depending on the usage rate of the type of the first game element (hereinafter referred to as personality), and parameters that change according to a predetermined event (hereinafter referred to as synchro level). And include.

The level represents the basic level of the second game element, and is increased by the experience value obtained by playing against it. Then, as the level increases, the thinking ability of the second game element can increase. The higher the thinking ability, the more appropriate operation assistance information can be provided according to the situation of the game.

The card comprehension level is the level of understanding of the first game element (the level of understanding of the effect of the card character being activated), and the higher the level of understanding, the more appropriately informs the timing of using the first game element (card). Operation assistance information can be provided.

The personality represents the attribute of the second game element, and changes depending on the usage ratio of the attribute of the first game element (having an attribute depending on the character).

Synchro level is increased by achieving a given event in the game. A predetermined event is a login to the game or a second game element acting with the player in the game. Due to the difference in the synchronization level, the expression content of the operation assistance information and the like are different. For example, the higher the synchronization level, the more intimate the expression.

The AI function provided in the game server 2 has a plurality of AI functions according to the character information described above, and can provide operation assistance information according to the height of the character information. That is, the higher the character information of the second game element, the more appropriate operation assistance information can be provided.

[Outline of game content]
