Then, a program or data may be supplied to the user terminal 10 or the server 30 via the information storage medium.

[2. Game Overview]
In the game system 1, a game is executed by executing a program on the user terminal 10. The game system 1 can execute various games. For example, various games and genres such as sports games (games based on baseball, soccer, tennis, American football, basketball, volleyball, etc.), adventure games, simulation games, role-playing games, or training games It is possible to execute a simple game.

  For example, in the game system 1, a game is executed in which game control is executed based on at least one game object selected by the user from among a plurality of game objects. Hereinafter, a technique for enabling a user to easily select a game object that allows desired game control to be executed in such a game will be described.

  Here, terms such as “game object” and “game control” will be described before describing the above technique.

  The “game object” is a target that can be operated, instructed, used, or nurtured in a game, for example. The “game object” is given to the user in a game, for example. Specifically, for example, game characters, game items, game cards, and the like correspond to examples of “game objects”.

  “Game control” is control related to a game. For example, generating an event in a game corresponds to an example of “game control”. The “event” is various events that occur in the game. Further, for example, generating an advantageous effect for the user in the game corresponds to an example of “game control”. For example, giving a game object to a user corresponds to an example of “game control”. Further, for example, progressing a game story corresponds to an example of “game control”.

  “Performing game control based on the selected game object” means changing the content of the game control based on the selected game object, for example.

  For example, if the “game control” is to “generate an event in the game”, “determine whether to generate an event in the game based on the selected game object” or “select “Determining the type or content of an event to be generated in the game based on the played game object” corresponds to an example of “exercising game control based on the selected game object”.

  Also, for example, if “game control” is “to generate an effect advantageous to the user in the game”, “determine whether to generate an effect in the game based on the selected game object”. Alternatively, “determining the type or content of the effect to be generated in the game based on the selected game object” corresponds to the above example.

  Also, for example, if “game control” is “giving a game object to a user”, “determining whether to give a game object to a user based on the selected game object”, or “Determining the type of game object to be given to the user based on the selected game object” corresponds to the above example.

  Further, for example, if “game control” is “progress game story”, “change the progress or contents of the game story based on the selected game object” corresponds to the above example.

  Hereinafter, as an example of the above-described game, “a game in which the user aims to change the parameter of the first game object and at least one first game object selected from the plurality of second game objects” is described. A game that produces an advantageous effect for changing the parameters of the first game object based on two game objects will be described. Specifically, a baseball game having such characteristics will be described.

  In this case as well, terms such as “first game object”, “second game object”, and “parameter” are described before describing the baseball game.

  The “first game object” is a game object to be changed by the user. For example, the “first game object” is a game character to be trained by the user.

  The “second game object” is a game object different from the first game object. For example, the “second game object” is an effect generating game object for generating an advantageous effect in the game for changing the parameter of the first game object. The “second game object” may be the same type of game object as the first game object, or may be a different type of game object. For example, when the “first game object” is a game character, the “second game object” may be a game item.

  The “parameter” is, for example, a performance parameter related to the performance (ability) of the game object. Note that the “performance parameter” may be, for example, information indicating the magnitude or level of performance or information indicating the presence or absence of specific performance. Alternatively, the “parameter” may be a state parameter related to the state of the game object. The “state parameter” is, for example, information indicating the goodness of the state. Alternatively, when the game object is a game character, the “parameter” may be information indicating the character of the game object. The “parameter” may be information indicating performance or the like by numerical values, or may be information indicated by other than numerical values.

  The “game in which the user aims to change the parameters of the first game object” is, for example, a game whose main purpose is to change the parameters of the first game object. However, the game is not limited to a game whose only purpose is to change the parameters of the first game object, but may be a game whose purpose is to change the parameters of the first game object.

  “Generating an effect advantageous in changing the parameter of the first game object in the game” means, for example, generating an effect of changing the parameter of the first game object in the game. For example, an event for changing the parameter of the first game object is generated, or a game item for changing the parameter of the first game object is given to the user.

  Also, “to generate an advantageous effect in the game for changing the parameter of the first game object” is to generate an effect in the game that makes it easy to change the parameter of the first game object, for example. May be. For example, a game event that makes it easy to improve the parameters of the first game object may be generated, or a game object that makes it easy to improve the performance of the first game object may be given to the user. Alternatively, “to generate an advantageous effect in the game for changing the parameter of the first game object” may be branched to a game story that makes it easy to change the parameter of the first game object. .

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a main menu screen image of a baseball game. As shown in FIG. 2, the main menu screen image G100 includes processing objects P110 and P120. Here, the “processing object” is, for example, an image, a symbol, or text associated with processing. Specifically, for example, a button, an icon, a link, or the like corresponds to an example of a “processing object”. When a processing object is selected, processing associated with the processing object is executed.

  The baseball game includes a training part and a battle part, and the main menu screen image G100 is a screen image for selecting one of the parts. The training part is a game part in which the user trains a game character (an example of a first game object) and creates his own original character. The processing object P110 is associated with a process for executing the training part, and the user can play the training part by selecting the processing object P110. On the other hand, the battle part is a game part in which the original character created by the user in the training part is used to form a baseball team of his / her own and the game is played against a baseball team formed by another user. A process for executing a battle part is associated with the processing object P120, and the user can play the battle part by selecting the processing object P120.

  Hereinafter, the training part will be described in detail. In the training part, the user trains the hero character (an example of the first game object) while carrying out a predetermined scenario to train the hero character and creates his own original character. The “predetermined scenario” is a game story that is developed in accordance with the progress of the game.

  As an example of the above scenario, it can be a game story from the summer of the second year of high school until the main character becomes a professional baseball player. For example, the protagonist character belongs to a high school baseball club, wins regulars while practicing with his teammates, and participates in baseball games (local qualifying tournaments, national tournaments, etc.). If the evaluation of the scout of the professional baseball team that observes the practice of the hero character and the game is above the standard, it is scouted as a professional baseball player.

  In the training part, the development of the main character is completed by the end of one scenario. The hero character that has been trained can be used as an original character in another game part (for example, a battle part). After the scenario ends, another original character can be generated by starting the scenario again from the beginning.

  Note that the user may be able to select any scenario from a plurality of scenarios prepared in advance. Further, the user terminal 10 may be able to download additional scenarios from the server 30 in order to increase scenario variations. For example, a new scenario may be provided periodically.

  In the training part, a plurality of commands for selecting the action of the main character in the game are prepared. Examples of commands include “practice”, “rest”, and “go out”. Each time the user selects any command, for example, a virtual time in the game passes by one week. For example, the period in the game from the start to the end of the scenario is set to 50 weeks (virtual period in the game). That is, there are a total of 50 turns from the start to the end of the scenario, and the scenario progresses after one week of virtual time in the game for each turn.

  The practice command is a command for improving the ability of the main character. For example, a plurality of types of ability parameters are set for the main character. For example, a plurality of types of parameters relating to pitcher ability or fielder ability are set in the main character.

  The pitcher ability parameter includes a parameter indicating numerically the level of the basic ability related to the pitcher, such as “ball speed”, “control”, “stamina”, “change ball”, and the like. For example, these parameters indicate that the higher the parameter value, the higher the capability. For example, the pitcher ability parameter may include a parameter indicating the presence or absence of a special ability related to the pitcher. For example, a parameter indicating whether or not a special ability such as “strong to pinch” or “strong to left batter” is included may be included.

  On the other hand, the fielder ability parameters include parameters indicating numerically the level of basic ability related to the fielder, such as “meet”, “power”, “running ability”, “shoulder ability”, “defense ability”, etc. . For example, these parameters indicate that the higher the parameter value, the higher the capability. Further, for example, the fielder ability parameter may include a parameter indicating whether or not there is a special ability related to the fielder. For example, a parameter indicating whether or not a special ability such as “strong against chance” or “strong against left pitcher” is included may be included.

  Hereinafter, a parameter indicating the level of the basic ability by a numerical value is referred to as a “basic ability parameter”, and a parameter indicating the presence or absence of a special ability is referred to as a “special ability parameter”.

  The practice command is a command for changing the ability parameters as described above. As practice commands, a practice command for pitchers and a practice command for fielders are prepared. As the pitcher practice commands, for example, a plurality of types of commands such as “ball speed”, “control”, “stamina”, “change ball”, “defense”, “mental”, and the like are prepared. On the other hand, as a fielder's practice command, for example, a plurality of types of commands such as “blow”, “muscle strength”, “strike”, “shoulder strength”, “defense”, and “mental” are prepared. When the user selects (executes) any practice command, practice points (experience points) are given to the main character. As practice points, for example, a plurality of types of points such as “muscle strength”, “agility”, “technology”, “change ball”, “spirit” are prepared.

  For each practice command, the type and amount of practice points given to the main character are determined. That is, one or a plurality of types of practice points are associated with each practice command, and when any practice command is selected, the practice point associated with the practice command is given to the main character. For example, the “strike” practice command is associated with three types of practice points “muscle strength”, “technique”, and “spirit”, and when the “strike” practice command is executed, “muscle strength”, “ Three kinds of practice points of “technology” and “spirit” are given to the main character.

  Using the practice points assigned to the main character as described above, the user can improve the ability of the main character.

  For example, in this baseball game, for each basic ability parameter, the type and amount of practice points necessary for increasing the value of the basic ability parameter are determined. For example, in order to improve the basic ability parameter of “meet”, practice points of “muscle strength”, “technique”, and “mental” are necessary, and the user can set “muscle strength”, “technique”, and “mental” By using practice points, the value of the basic ability parameter of “Meet” can be increased.

  Further, for example, in this baseball game, for each special ability parameter, the type and amount of practice points necessary to acquire the special ability are determined. For example, in order to acquire the special ability “strong in chance”, the practice points of “agility”, “technique”, and “spirit” are necessary, and by using these practice points, the main character Can acquire a special ability that is strong against chance.

  As described above, when the practice command is selected, a practice point is given to the main character, and the user can improve the ability of the main character by using the practice point given to the main character. When the practice command is selected, the basic ability parameter and special ability parameter of the hero character may be directly updated without giving practice points to the hero character.

  When the practice command is selected, the physical strength parameter of the main character decreases. For example, if the physical strength parameter of the hero character is low, it is easy to get injured when a practice command is executed. In this regard, when the rest command is selected, the physical strength parameter of the main character is recovered. When the outing command is selected, the physical strength parameter and the motivation parameter of the main character increase. In addition, if the motivation parameter of the hero character becomes low, the hero character cannot exhibit its original ability.

  In the training part, as shown in FIG. 3, various events occur between the start and end of the scenario. For example, in each turn from the start to the end of the scenario, an event occurs based on predetermined probability information. In addition to the event that occurs based on the probability information, an event that always occurs at the timing when the progress of the game reaches the reference may be provided. For example, a predetermined event (for example, a game event) may always occur when the scenario progresses to 10 turns, 20 turns, and 30 turns.

  For example, an event that is advantageous for improving the ability of the main character occurs in the training part. For example, in this event, practice points are given to the main character. Also, for example, in this event, action options to be taken by the main character are presented to the user, and practice points are given to the main character according to the options selected by the user. In this case, when the most appropriate option is selected, the amount of practice points given to the main character is larger than when other options are selected.

  In this baseball game, events that occur during the training part are not fixed, and various events are additionally generated according to one or a plurality of game characters incorporated in the event deck by the user. The event deck will be described below.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of an event deck screen image. An event deck screen image G200 shown in FIG. 4 is a screen image for setting an event deck. As shown in FIG. 4, the event deck screen image G200 includes an event deck setting area A210. The event deck setting area A210 is an area for setting an event deck.

  The event deck setting area A210 is provided with five setting frames A211, A212, A213, A214, and A215 for setting event characters (game characters for event generation) as members of the event deck. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the player character A and the player character B are set in the two setting frames A211 and A212, respectively. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 4, player characters A and B are incorporated in the event deck.

  Event characters that can be set in the event deck setting area A210 are basically event characters owned by the user. The user can arbitrarily select an event character to be set in the event deck setting area A210 from a plurality of event characters owned by the user. For example, in this baseball game, a predetermined number of event characters are given to the user at the start of the game. In addition, the user can obtain an event character by lottery, obtain an event character as a reward in the game, or obtain an event character from another user. The event character is given to the user in the form of a game card (digital card), and the user can own the event character in the form of a game card.

  For example, in the state shown in FIG. 4, no event character is set in the setting frame A213. The user can set an event character in the setting frame A213 by selecting the setting frame A213. For example, when the user selects the setting frame A213 by touching the setting frame A213, an event character selection screen image for selecting one of a plurality of event characters owned by the user is displayed. FIG. 5 shows an example of an event character selection screen image. When the user selects any of the event characters displayed on the event character selection screen image G300, the selected event character is set in the setting frame A213.

  In the state shown in FIG. 4, the player character A is set in the setting frame A211. The user can change the event character set in the setting frame A211 from the player character A to another game character by selecting the setting frame A211. For example, when the user selects setting frame A211 by touching setting frame A211, event character selection screen image G300 is displayed. When the user selects one of the event characters displayed on the event character selection screen image G300, the newly selected event character is set in the setting frame A211 instead of the player character A. Note that the user can also remove the player character A from the setting frame A 211 by selecting the setting frame A 211 and performing a predetermined setting canceling operation.

  As described above, the user sets an event character in each of the setting frames A211 to A215. It is not necessary to set event characters in all of the setting frames A211 to A215, and event characters may be set in only a part of the setting frames A211 to A215.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, five setting frames A211 to A215 are included in the event deck setting area A210, and the upper limit of the number of event characters that can be incorporated into the event deck is set to “5”. Yes. For example, the upper limit may be changed by satisfying a predetermined condition. Specifically, for example, the upper limit may be increased when the progress of the game reaches a reference. Alternatively, the upper limit may be increased by charging (for example, by consuming a charging item). Alternatively, the upper limit may be increased by consuming a predetermined amount of in-game points, in-game currency, or the like. In addition, the upper limit may be changed by satisfying various conditions.

  Event characters built into the event deck appear in the game. Event characters appearing in the game are depicted by two-dimensional or three-dimensional computer graphics in practice, matches, various events, etc. in the game.

  For example, the event character incorporated in the event deck appears in the game as a teammate of the main character or a manager of the baseball club to which the main character belongs. Note that the game character incorporated in the event deck may appear in the game as a rival team player, for example. As described above, an event character owned by a user becomes a game character by being incorporated in the event deck.

  In the scenario, predetermined game characters (for example, one director, one scout, one manager, and four to eight teammate players) are set as characters in advance. These game characters appear in the game even if they are not incorporated into the event deck. For this reason, the event character incorporated in the event deck can be said to be a game character added as a character.

  Each event character that can be incorporated into the event deck is associated with a unique event. And the event linked | related with the event character integrated in the event deck may generate | occur | produce in a training part.

  Here, for example, “an event associated with the event character X” is an event related to the event character X. For example, an event in which the event character X acts together with the main character (for example, practice, confrontation, eat, play, travel, etc.) corresponds to an example of the event. In addition, for example, an event in which the event character X acts together with a game character other than the main character, or an event in which the event character X acts alone (for example, practice, eat, draw a fortune) It corresponds to an example.

  The “event associated with the event character X” is not limited to an event in which the event character X appears on the screen. For example, an event in which a quiz related to the event character X is given may be used. In addition, other game characters (friends, seniors, juniors, coaches, rivals, etc.) related to the event character X may be events that talk about the event character X, and in order to win the event character X It may be an event to practice.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, “player character A” and “player character B” are incorporated in the event deck. In such a case, “event A” associated with “player character A” and “event B” associated with “player character B” may occur in the training part. For example, “event A” is an event in which the main character acts together with the player character A (performs special practice, etc.). Similarly, “event B” is an event in which the main character acts together with the player character B (such as performing a special practice).

  For example, the event A and the event B are events that are advantageous for improving the ability of the main character. For example, when the player character A is a pitcher, the event A is an event in which a special practice useful for improving the pitcher ability of the main character is performed together with the player character A. For example, in event A in this case, a practice point that can be used to increase a basic ability parameter related to the pitcher or acquire a special ability related to the pitcher is given to the main character. Alternatively, in the event A in this case, the amount of practice points necessary for increasing the basic ability parameter related to the pitcher or acquiring the special ability related to the pitcher may be reduced. Alternatively, in event A in this case, the basic ability parameter related to the pitcher may be increased, or a special ability related to the pitcher may be given to the main character.

  Further, for example, when the player character A is a fielder, the event A is an event in which a special practice useful for improving the fielder ability of the main character is performed together with the player character A. For example, in event A in this case, a practice point that can be used to increase a basic ability parameter related to a fielder or acquire a special ability related to a fielder is given to the main character. Alternatively, in the event A in this case, the amount of practice points necessary for increasing the basic ability parameter related to the fielder or acquiring the special ability related to the fielder may be reduced. Alternatively, in event A in this case, the basic ability parameter related to the fielder may be increased, or a special ability related to the fielder may be given to the main character.

  Note that a unique event may be associated with a predetermined combination of event characters. Then, when a predetermined combination of event characters is incorporated in the event deck, an event associated with the combination may be generated in the breeding part.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, “player character A” and “player character B” are included in the event deck. In such a case, “event AB” corresponding to the combination of “player character A” and “player character B” may occur in the training part. For example, “event AB” is an event in which player character A and player character B confront each other. Moreover, in this confrontation event, you may make it participate in a confrontation event by the hero character seeing out confrontation or cheering. In this case, not only “event AB” but also “event A” and “event B” may be generated. That is, when “player character A” and “player character B” are incorporated in the event deck, “player character A”, “player character B”, “player character A” + “player character B” 3 Any of the street patterns is valid, and any of “event A”, “event B”, and “event AB” may occur.

  The above event is merely an example, and various events can be generated according to a game character or a combination of game characters incorporated in the event deck.

  The event may always occur, may occur with a predetermined probability, or may occur when a predetermined condition is satisfied. When the above events are generated with a predetermined probability, it is not possible to know when the event will occur, so the user has a sense of tension while expecting an event associated with the game character incorporated in the event deck. And enjoy the game.

  Further, the probability that the event occurs may be changed according to the degree of relationship between the main character and the event character incorporated in the event deck. As the degree of relationship between the main character and the event character, for example, the closeness of both may be used, or one may be an evaluation value for evaluating the other. This degree of relationship may be determined in advance or may vary depending on the action of the main character. For example, the protagonist character may practice with the event character or play with the event character to improve the degree of relationship between the two, while the occurrence probability of the event may be improved according to the improvement in the degree of relationship. In this way, the user can improve the occurrence probability of the event associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck by selecting the action of the main character.

  Further, when the degree of relationship between the hero character and the event character incorporated in the event deck reaches a predetermined standard, an event associated with the event character may be generated. Here, the timing of event occurrence may be the timing immediately after the degree of relationship reaches a predetermined reference, or may be the timing after a predetermined time has elapsed since the degree of relationship has reached a predetermined reference. Good. For example, if the relationship between the main character and the player character A reaches a predetermined standard during execution of a command for a turn with a scenario, it is associated with the player character A at the end of the turn or at the start of the next turn. The event may be generated.

  When the degree of relation does not reach a predetermined standard, the event may be generated with a probability corresponding to the degree of relation (or with a predetermined probability regardless of the degree of relation). Alternatively, the event may not occur when the degree of relationship does not reach a predetermined standard.

  The number of events associated with the event character may be one or plural. Further, the number of events may be different for each event character. For example, a rarity level may be set for each event character, and an event character having a high rarity level may be associated with a greater number of events than an event character having a low rarity level. In addition, an event character having a high degree of rarity may have a higher event occurrence probability than an event character having a low degree of rarity.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the event deck screen image G200 includes a good practice display area A220. In this baseball game, each of the event characters that can be incorporated into the event deck is associated with a practice item that is good at each. In the good practice display area A220, good practice items associated with the event character incorporated in the event deck are displayed. For example, when the practice item of the player character A is “blow” and the practice item of the player character B is “shoulder strength”, as shown in FIG. The “exercise” practice item is displayed in the good practice display area A220.

  For example, when an event character with a good practice item of “blow” is incorporated in the event deck, an event character with a good practice item of “blow” is not incorporated in the event deck. When the user selects the “batting” practice command, the amount of practice points given to the main character increases. That is, it becomes easy to improve the ability of the hero character.

  After confirming the practice items displayed in the good practice display area A220, the user can try to display a desired practice item in the good practice display area A220 by replacing the event character in the event deck. For example, when the main character is a pitcher and the practice item for improving the pitcher ability is not displayed in the good practice display area A220, the user removes the event character from the event deck and incorporates another event character. Thus, it is possible to adjust so that practice items for improving the pitcher ability are displayed in the good practice display area A220.

  In the baseball game, a bonus is associated with each event character that can be incorporated into the event deck. For example, a bonus that increases the probability of occurrence of a specific event is associated with the event character. When such an event character is incorporated in the event deck, the probability of occurrence of the specific event increases.

  As described above, in the baseball game, an event associated with the game character incorporated in the event deck can occur in the training part. For example, when an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the pitcher ability is incorporated in the event deck, the event occurs in the training part, so the user places such an event character in the event deck. By incorporating, it becomes easy to improve the pitcher ability of the hero character. Also, for example, when an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the fielder ability is incorporated in the event deck, the event occurs during the game. By incorporating it, it becomes easy to improve the fielder ability of the hero character.

  Also, in this baseball game, when a practice command corresponding to a good practice item associated with an event character incorporated in the event deck is selected, the amount of practice points given to the main character is higher than usual. Become more. For this reason, for example, the user can easily improve the pitcher ability of the main character by incorporating an event character in which an exercise item for pitcher is associated as an excellent practice item into the event deck. Further, for example, the user can easily improve the fielder ability of the main character by incorporating an event character in which the practice item for the fielder is associated with the practice item that is good at the event deck.

  By the way, if the user does not fully grasp the events associated with each event character and the practice items that he is good at, the user may be at a loss as to which event character should be incorporated into the event deck. In addition, the user may feel troublesome to set the event deck itself. In order to eliminate such inconvenience, the baseball game has an event deck automatic setting function. Hereinafter, this function will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the event deck screen image G200 includes a processing object P230. The processing object P230 is associated with processing for automatically setting an event deck according to the user's request.

  When the processing object P230 is selected, an automatic setting menu screen image for selecting a hero character training policy is displayed. FIG. 6 shows an example of an automatic setting menu screen image. In the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to select either the first training policy “Grow up the hero character as a pitcher” or the second training policy “Grow up the hero character as a fielder”. It has become.

  The automatic setting menu screen image G400 includes a processing object P410. A process for selecting the first breeding policy is associated with the process object P410. In other words, the process object P410 is associated with a process for automatically setting an event deck suitable for raising the main character as a pitcher.

  That is, when the processing object P410 is selected, for example, an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the pitcher ability, or an event character associated with a practice item for pitcher as a good practice item. It is set as a member of the event deck with priority over other event characters.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of the event deck screen image after the processing object P410 is selected. In the event deck screen image G500 shown in FIG. 7, event characters having “ball speed”, “control”, “stamina”, “changing ball”, and “mental” that are practice items for pitchers are set as good practice items. Are incorporated into the event deck, these practice items are displayed in the good practice display area A220. In the event deck screen image G500, the event character automatically incorporated in the event deck may be replaced by the user as described above.

  The automatic setting menu screen image G400 also includes a processing object P420. The process object P420 is associated with a process for selecting the second growth policy. In other words, the processing object P420 is associated with processing for automatically setting an event deck suitable for training the main character as a fielder.

  That is, when the processing object P420 is selected, for example, an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving fielder ability, or an event character associated with a fielder practice item as a good practice item. It is set as a member of the event deck with priority over other event characters.

  As described above, in the present baseball game, the user selects a desired option from a plurality of options displayed on the automatic setting menu screen image G400 (that is, a plurality of options related to the development policy), thereby achieving a desired training. The event deck that matches the policy is automatically set. As a result, the user can easily set an event deck that matches the desired breeding policy.

  In addition, in the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to select one of two training policies “Pitcher” and “Fielder”. It may be possible to select any one or select any one of a plurality of training policies related to “fielder”. For example, it may be possible to select an ability that the user attaches importance to from among a plurality of abilities relating to “pitcher” or “fielder”. For example, as a training policy related to “pitcher”, any of “focus on ball speed”, “focus on control”, and “focus on changing ball” may be selected. Further, for example, as a training policy regarding “fielder”, any one of “meeting emphasis”, “power emphasis”, “running ability emphasis”, and “defense emphasis” may be selected.

  For example, in the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shown in FIG. 6, when the processing object P410 is selected to select the first training policy “Grow up the hero character as a pitcher”, the transition screen displayed next , A screen image for selecting any of a plurality of pitcher training policies may be displayed. Further, in this screen image, a plurality of processing objects respectively corresponding to the above-mentioned “emphasis on ball speed”, “emphasis on control”, and “emphasis on changing sphere” may be displayed in a selectable manner.

  Alternatively, in the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shown in FIG. 6, instead of the processing objects P410 and P420, processing objects respectively corresponding to the pitcher training policies “focus on ball speed”, “control focus”, and “change ball focus” And processing objects corresponding to the fielder training policies “emphasis on meat”, “emphasis on power”, “emphasis on running ability”, and “emphasis on defense”, respectively, may be displayed. By doing in this way, you may enable a user to select a cultivation policy finely on one screen.

  For example, in a setting screen (for example, an option screen or a customization screen) for performing various settings, the user selects one of a plurality of pitcher training policies or one of a plurality of fielder training policies. You may be able to keep it. For example, when the user has previously selected “focus on ball speed” from a plurality of pitcher training policies and has previously selected “focus on meat” from a plurality of fielder training policies, an automatic setting menu screen image When the processing object P410 (pitcher) of G400 is selected, an event deck suitable for improving the ball speed of the main character is automatically set based on the preselected “focus on ball speed”. May be. In this way, once any one of a plurality of pitcher training policies or one of a plurality of fielder training policies is selected, “Pitcher” or “Fielder” is selected in the automatic setting menu screen image G400. It is sufficient to select either one, and it is not necessary to select either a plurality of pitcher training policies or a plurality of fielder training policies each time a new main character is trained.

  Further, in the automatic setting menu screen image G400, information on a real baseball player, for example, a name (real name, nickname, nickname, etc.), a photograph, or an image of a baseball player may be displayed as an option. By doing in this way, you may enable it to select a growth policy by a user selecting an actual baseball player. In this case, a game character associated with an event or practice item (special practice item) advantageous for bringing the ability of the hero character close to the ability of the actual baseball player selected by the user is preferentially incorporated into the event deck. You may be made to do. In this way, the image of the player who is jealous or admired by the user can be obscured by the main character, so that the game performance can be improved.

  In the automatic setting menu screen image G400, a plurality of questions may be presented to the user. Then, event characters that match the answers to the plurality of questions may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck. As described above, a training policy desired by the user may be determined from answers to a plurality of questions, and event characters suitable for the training policy desired by the user may be preferentially incorporated into the event deck. In addition, you may make it present the some question regarding a user's personality diagnosis as said several question. By doing in this way, the event character suitable for raising a hero character so that it may resemble a user's character may be preferentially integrated in an event deck.

[3. Game system functional blocks]
A functional block realized by the game system 1 will be described. FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing functions (event deck automatic setting function) related to the present invention among the functions realized by the game system 1.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the server 30 includes a data storage unit 300 and a processing unit 310. For example, the data storage unit 300 is realized by the storage unit 32, and the processing unit 310 is realized by the control unit 31 executing processing according to a program. Note that the data storage unit 300 may be realized by a storage unit included in another device capable of data communication with the server 30.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the user terminal 10 (an example of a game control device) includes an individual data storage unit 100, a request unit 110, a display control unit 120, a selection condition setting unit 130, a game object selection unit 140, and a game control unit. 150. The individual data storage unit 100 is realized by the storage unit 12, and functional blocks other than the individual data storage unit 100 are realized by the control unit 11 executing processing according to a program.

  First, the data storage unit 300 will be described. The data storage unit 300 stores data necessary for a game executed in the game system 1. Hereinafter, as an example of data stored in the data storage unit 300, a part of data necessary for the baseball game described with reference to FIGS. Data other than the data described below is also stored in the data storage unit 300. Here, data related to the event deck automatic setting function will be described.

  For example, the event character table TBL301 is stored in the data storage unit 300. The event character table TBL301 is a data table indicating a list of event characters owned by each user. FIG. 9 shows an example of the event character table TBL301. As shown in FIG. 9, the event character table TBL301 includes fields described below.

  The “user ID” field indicates identification information for specifying a user. The “event character ID” field indicates identification information for specifying an event character owned by the user. The “name” field indicates the name of the event character.

  The “rareity” field indicates the rarity of the event character. For example, one of a plurality of levels of rarity information such as “super rare (SR)”, “rare (R)”, and “normal (N)” is associated with each event character. Here, “rareness” indicates, for example, difficulty in obtaining an event character. A higher degree of event character rarity indicates that it is difficult to obtain the event character. In general, the higher the degree of rarity of an event character, the higher the usefulness (ability, effect, etc.) of the event character. Therefore, it can be said that “rareness” indicates the usefulness of the event character. In addition, like the player character A in the example shown in FIG. 9, even with the same event character, there can exist three kinds of rarity of super rare (SR), rare, and normal. In addition, the “rareness” is expressed by a mode other than the above mode, for example, “1, 2,...”, “A, B,...”, “Gold, silver,. Is also possible.

  The “position” field indicates a baseball position that the event character is good at. The “good practice” field indicates practice items that the event character is good at.

  The “level” field indicates the level of the event character. Note that the level of the event character may be increased by combining the event character with another event character. Further, the contents of the following event, bonus, or ability parameter may be updated as the level of the event character increases.

  The “event” field indicates event information related to an event associated with the event character. In other words, the “event” field indicates event information related to an event that may occur in the game when the event character is incorporated in the event deck. The event information is information indicating the name and content of the event. For example, the event information includes information on the type and amount of practice points given to the main character when an event occurs.

  The “bonus” field indicates bonus information related to the bonus associated with the event character. In other words, the “bonus” field indicates bonus information related to a bonus that occurs in the game when the event character is incorporated in the event deck. The bonus information is information indicating the name and content of the bonus. For example, when an event character is incorporated into an event deck and the occurrence probability of a specific event is increased, the bonus information includes information indicating the event and information indicating the degree of increase in the occurrence probability.

  The “ability parameter” fold indicates the ability parameter of the event character. For example, when a game event occurs in the breeding part, an event character incorporated in the event deck participates in the game as a teammate of the main character. When such a match event is executed, the ability parameter of the event character is referred to.

  For example, the event deck table TBL302 is stored in the data storage unit 300. The event deck table TBL302 is a data table indicating the state of the event deck of each user. FIG. 10 shows an example of the event deck table TBL302. As shown in FIG. 10, the event deck table TBL302 includes fields described below.

  As in FIG. 9, the “user ID” field indicates identification information for specifying the user. The “first setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A211 of the event deck setting area A210. When the event character is not set in the setting frame A 211, the “first setting frame” field is blank. Similarly, the “second setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A212. The “third setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A213. The “fourth setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A214. The “fifth setting frame” field indicates the event character ID of the event character set in the setting frame A215.

  Further, for example, the breeding character table TBL 303 is stored in the data storage unit 300. The breeding character table TBL303 is a data table indicating a list of protagonist characters trained by each user or being trained. FIG. 11 shows an example of the breeding character table TBL303. As shown in FIG. 11, the breeding character table TBL303 includes fields described below.

  As in FIG. 9, the “user ID” field indicates identification information for specifying the user. The “nurturing character ID” field indicates identification information for specifying the main character that the user has trained or is training. The “name” field indicates the name of the main character trained by the user or being trained. The “position” field indicates a baseball position that the protagonist character that the user has trained or is developing is good at.

  The “ability parameter”, “physical strength parameter”, and “motivated parameter” fields respectively indicate the capability parameter, the physical strength parameter, and the motivated parameter of the hero character trained or trained by the user.

  The “practice point” field indicates the amount of practice points given to the main character being trained by the user. The “training status” field indicates the current training status. That is, the “training status” field indicates whether the training has been completed or is being trained. Further, in the case of training, the “training status” field also indicates the current in-game time.

  Next, the individual data storage unit 100, the request unit 110, and the processing unit 310 will be described. The individual data storage unit 100 is for storing data related to the user of the user terminal 10 among the data stored in the data storage unit 300. Further, the request unit 110 and the processing unit 310 acquire data related to the user of the user terminal 10 from the data stored in the data storage unit 300, and store the data in the individual data storage unit 100 or individually. When the data stored in the data storage unit 100 is updated, the data stored in the data storage unit 300 is also updated.

  The request unit 110 requests the server 30 to send back the data stored in association with the user ID by transmitting the user ID of the user of the user terminal 10 to the server 30 at a predetermined timing. The “predetermined timing” is, for example, a timing at which the game program is started, a timing at which the main menu screen image G100 is displayed, or a timing at which the training part is started.

  When the request is received by the server 30, the processing unit 310 acquires data stored in association with the received user ID from the data storage unit 300 and transmits the data to the user terminal 10. For example, the processing unit 310 acquires event character data stored in association with the user ID from the event character table TBL301, and transmits the event character data to the user terminal 10. Similarly, the processing unit 310 acquires event deck data and breeding character data stored in association with the user ID from the event deck table TBL302 and the breeding character table TBL303, and the event deck data and the breeding character data are acquired from the user terminal 10. Send to.

  When the data returned from the server 30 is received by the user terminal 10, the request unit 110 stores the data in the individual data storage unit 100.

  For example, the request unit 110 stores the event character data returned from the server 30 in the event character table TBL101 included in the individual data storage unit 100. The event character table TBL101 is a data table for storing only the event characters of the user of the user terminal 10, and is a data table including fields similar to the event character table TBL301 shown in FIG. 9, for example. (The “User ID” field may be omitted).

  The request unit 110 stores the event deck data returned from the server 30 in the event deck table TBL102 included in the individual data storage unit 100. The event deck table TBL102 is a data table for storing only the event deck of the user of the user terminal 10, and is a data table including fields similar to the event deck table TBL302 shown in FIG. 10, for example. (The “User ID” field may be omitted).

  Further, the request unit 110 stores the breeding character data returned from the server 30 in the breeding character table TBL103 included in the individual data storage unit 100. The breeding character table TBL103 is a data table for storing only the breeding characters of the user of the user terminal 10, for example, a data table including the same fields as the breeding character table TBL303 shown in FIG. (The “User ID” field may be omitted).

  The data stored in the individual data storage unit 100 is referred to or updated during the execution of the baseball game. When the data stored in the individual data storage unit 100 is updated, the request unit 110 notifies the server 30 of the updated contents together with the user ID of the user of the user terminal 10 at a predetermined timing, thereby storing the data. Similarly, the data stored in the unit 30 is requested to be updated. The “predetermined timing” is, for example, a timing every predetermined time or a timing when the user ends play.

  When the above request is received by the server 30, the processing unit 310 is notified from the user terminal 10 of data stored in the data storage unit 30 (that is, data stored in association with the received user ID). Update according to the updated contents.

  Next, the display control unit 120 will be described. The display control unit 120 executes control for causing the display unit to display a plurality of options related to game control content.

  Here, “game control content” is the content of game control. For example, if “game control” is “to generate an event in a game”, the type or content of the event corresponds to an example of “game control content”. Further, for example, if “game control” is “to generate an effect advantageous to the user in the game”, the type or content of the effect corresponds to an example of “game control content”. For example, if “game control” is “giving a user a game object”, the type of game object corresponds to an example of “game control content”. For example, if “game control” is “progressing a game story”, the content of the game story corresponds to an example of “game control content”.

  The “plural choices regarding game control contents” are options presented to the user for the purpose of allowing the user to specify desired game control contents, for example. The user can designate the desired game control content by selecting at least one option. In other words, “a plurality of options related to game control contents” are options presented to the user for the purpose of the game system 1 determining the game control contents desired by the user, for example. The game control content desired by the user is determined depending on which option the user has selected.

  “Display means” is, for example, a display device used by a user. For example, the “display unit” is a terminal that is used by a user and that includes a display unit. For example, the “display unit” is a mobile phone (including a smartphone), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a portable game machine, or the like. For example, the “display unit” may be a display device connected to a terminal used by the user. For example, the “display unit” may be a display device connected to a stationary game machine or a desktop computer.

  “Displaying a plurality of options on the display unit” may be, for example, displaying a plurality of options on the display unit at once, or displaying the plurality of options on the display unit sequentially in a plurality of times. It may be. For example, after displaying some of the plurality of options on the display means, the rest may be displayed on the display means.

  “Execution of control for displaying a plurality of options” means, for example, generating a screen image showing a plurality of options and displaying the screen image on the display means. In addition, “execute control for displaying a plurality of options” means, for example, generating data necessary for displaying a screen image showing a plurality of options, and displaying the data on the display means or the display means. The screen image may be displayed on the display means by transmitting to the connected terminal. The “data necessary for displaying the screen image” may be data indicating the screen image itself or data necessary for generating the screen image.

  For example, in the case of the baseball game shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the display control unit 120 has a plurality of effects related to the contents of effects advantageous for changing the ability parameter of the hero character (an example of the parameter of the first game object). Control for displaying the options on the display unit 15 is executed.

  Specifically, the display control unit 120 executes control for causing the display unit 15 to display the automatic setting menu screen image G400 illustrated in FIG. That is, the display control unit 120 executes control for displaying the processing objects P410 and P420 on the display unit 15 as the plurality of options. That is, the display control unit 120 provides the display unit 15 with an effect that the pitcher ability parameter is easily improved (processing object P410) and an effect that the fielder ability parameter is easily improved (processing object P420) as the plurality of options. Execute control to display.

  In other words, the display control unit 120 executes control for causing the display unit 15 to display options regarding a policy on how to change the ability parameter of the main character as the plurality of options. That is, the display control unit 120 causes the display unit 15 to display a policy for improving the pitcher ability parameter (processing object P410) and a policy for improving the fielder ability parameter (processing object P420) as the plurality of options. Execute control.

  Next, the selection condition setting unit 130 will be described. The selection condition setting unit 130 selects at least one game object corresponding to at least one option selected by the user from among a plurality of game objects based on at least one option selected by the user. Set the selection conditions.

  The “selection condition” is a condition for selecting at least one game object corresponding to at least one option selected by the user from a plurality of game objects. That is, the “selection condition” is a condition for selecting at least one game object such that the game control with the content desired by the user is executed. For example, a condition related to a game object parameter is set as a “selection condition”. As will be described later, when selecting at least one of a plurality of game objects, at least one game object is selected such that the selection condition is satisfied. In other words, at least one game object that satisfies this selection condition is selected.

  “Setting a selection condition based on an option selected by the user” means, for example, selecting at least one of a plurality of predetermined selection conditions based on an option selected by the user. is there.

  For example, the selection condition setting unit 130 corresponds to at least one option selected by the user from the plurality of selection conditions based on data in which the correspondence between the plurality of options and the plurality of selection conditions is determined. At least one selection condition is selected.

  The “data in which the correspondence between a plurality of options and a plurality of selection conditions is defined” may be, for example, data in which options and selection conditions are associated one-to-one, Data associated with a selection condition may be used. Further, this data may be, for example, data in a table format in which selection conditions are associated with options (or combinations of options), or processing for setting selection conditions for options (or combinations of options). May be a program associated with.

  For example, in the baseball game shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, as described above, the display unit 15 displays a plurality of options related to the contents of effects advantageous for changing the ability parameter of the main character. For this reason, the selection condition setting unit 130 selects at least one option selected by the user from among a plurality of event characters (an example of a plurality of second game objects) based on at least one option selected by the user. A selection condition for selecting at least one event character corresponding to the content of the effect corresponding to is set.

  That is, the selection condition setting unit 130 sets a selection condition for selecting at least one event character associated with effect information corresponding to at least one option selected by the user. Here, “effect information” is information indicating the type and content of the effect. For example, event information and good practice information stored in the “event” and “good practice” fields of the event character table TBL 101 correspond to an example of “effect information”.

  For example, the case where the processing object P410 of the automatic setting menu screen image G400 shown in FIG. 6 is selected is a case where an effect that improves the pitcher ability is selected. For this reason, the selection condition setting unit 130 sets a selection condition for selecting an event character having the effect. In this case, a selection condition is set for selecting an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the pitcher ability, or an event character associated with a practice item good for pitcher practice.

  On the other hand, the case where the processing object P420 is selected is a case where the effect that the fielder ability is easily improved is selected. For this reason, the selection condition setting unit 130 sets a selection condition for selecting an event character having the effect. In this case, a selection condition is set for selecting an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the fielder ability or an event character associated with a practice item good for fielder practice.

  The case where the processing object P410 is selected can be said to be a case where a policy for improving the pitcher ability is selected. For this reason, it can be said that the selection condition setting unit 130 sets a selection condition for selecting at least one event character associated with effect information suitable for the policy. Here, the “effect information suitable for the policy” is an effect (effect information) advantageous for improving the ability of the event character in accordance with the policy. In this case, a selection condition is set for selecting an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the pitcher ability, or an event character associated with a practice item good for pitcher practice.

  On the other hand, the case where the processing object P420 is selected can be said to be a case where a policy for improving the fielder ability is selected. For this reason, it can be said that the selection condition setting unit 130 sets a selection condition for selecting at least one event character associated with effect information suitable for the policy. In this case, a selection condition is set for selecting an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the fielder ability or an event character associated with a practice item good for fielder practice.

  The game object selection unit 140 will be described. The game object selection unit 140 selects at least one game object from the plurality of game objects based on the selection condition set (selected) by the selection condition setting unit 130.

  Here, “selecting at least one game object based on the selection condition” means selecting at least one game object so that the selection condition is satisfied. In other words, selecting at least one game object that satisfies the selection condition.

  For example, in the case of the baseball game shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. At least one event character is selected from an example of an object).

  That is, the game object selection unit 140 selects at least one event character from among a plurality of event characters owned by the user based on the selection condition set by the selection condition setting unit 130, and selects the selected at least one event character. Incorporate two event characters into the event deck. For example, the game object selection unit 140 refers to the event character table TBL101, and incorporates, into the event deck, an event character that satisfies the selection condition set by the selection condition setting unit 130 from among a plurality of event characters owned by the user. Select as the event character to be. The game object selection unit 140 accesses the event deck table TBL102 and registers the selected event character in the event deck table TBL102.

  When an event character is selected by the game object selection unit 140, the display control unit 120 displays effect information associated with the event character (an example of the second game object) selected by the game object selection unit 140. Control for displaying information on the content of the effect to be displayed on the display unit 15 (an example of a display unit) is executed.

  “Execution of control for displaying information” means, for example, generating a screen image indicating information and causing the display unit 15 to display the screen image. In addition, “execute control for displaying information” means, for example, a terminal that generates data necessary to display a screen image indicating information and connects the data to display means or display means The screen image may be displayed on the display means by transmitting to. The “data necessary for displaying the screen image” may be data indicating the screen image itself or data necessary for generating the screen image.

  “Information about the content of the effect” is information indicating the content of the effect. In other words, the “information about the content of the effect” is text information or image information that enables the user to understand the content of the effect.

  For example, the display control unit 120 executes control for causing the display unit 15 to display the event deck screen image G500 illustrated in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the display control unit 120 is a good practice item (effect information associated with the event character) of the event character selected by the game object selection unit 140 (that is, the event character incorporated in the event deck). ) Is displayed in the good practice display area A220 of the event deck screen image G500.

  The game control unit 150 will be described. The game control unit 150 executes game control based on at least one game object selected by the game object selection unit 140.

  For example, in the case of the baseball game shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the game control unit 150 has at least one event character (that is, at least one selected by the game object selection unit 140) incorporated in the event deck by the game object selection unit 140. Based on one event character (an example of the second game object)), the breeding part is executed. In other words, the game control unit 150 generates an advantageous effect in the breeding part based on at least one event character incorporated in the event deck by the game object selection unit 140 in order to change the ability parameter of the main character.

  For example, the game control unit 150 generates an effect indicated by effect information associated with at least one event character incorporated in the event deck by the game object selection unit 140 in the training part.

  Specifically, the game control unit 150 refers to the event character table TBL101 and the event deck table TBL102, and develops an effect indicated by event information or good practice information associated with at least one event character incorporated in the event deck. Is generated.

  That is, the game control unit 150 generates an event indicated by the event information in the breeding part. When the ability parameter of the main character is updated by an event, the game control unit 150 accesses the breeding character table TBL103 and updates the ability parameter of the main character being trained. In addition, when a practice command corresponding to the practice item indicated by the above-described good practice information is selected, the game control unit 150 gives more practice points to the main character than in the normal case. When giving practice points to the main character, the game control unit 150 accesses the breeding character table TBL103 and increases the practice points of the main character being trained.

[4. Processing executed in game system]
Next, an example of processing executed in the game system 1 will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram for describing an example of processing executed in the user terminal 10 when the processing object P230 of the event deck screen image G200 is selected. The control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 executes the process shown in FIG. 12 based on the program stored in the storage unit 12.

  When the processing object P230 of the event deck screen image G200 is selected, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 displays the automatic setting menu screen image G400 on the display unit 15 (S100). Then, while the automatic setting menu screen image G400 is displayed, the control unit 11 determines whether or not any of the “Pitcher” or “Fielder” breeding policies has been selected by the user (S102). That is, the control unit 11 determines whether one of the processing objects P410 or P420 has been selected by the user. When any of the training policies is selected by the user, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the training policy selected by the user is “pitcher” (S104).

  For example, when the processing object P410 is selected by the user, the control unit 11 determines that the breeding policy selected by the user is “pitcher”. In this case, the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL101 and acquires a list of event characters having an effect that the pitcher ability is easily improved from among the event characters owned by the user (S106). In addition, “an event character having an effect of improving the pitcher ability” is an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the pitcher ability, or a practice item for the pitcher is associated as an excellent practice item. Event character.

  On the other hand, when the processing object P420 is selected by the user, the control unit 11 determines that the breeding policy selected by the user is “fielder”. In this case, the control unit 11 refers to the event character table TBL101, and acquires a list of event characters having an effect that the fielder ability is easily improved from among the event characters owned by the user (S108). Note that “an event character that has an effect of easily improving fielder ability” refers to an event character that is associated with an event advantageous for improving fielder ability, or a practice item for a fielder is associated with a good practice item. Event character.

  After step S106 or S108 is executed, the control unit 11 selects an event character to be incorporated in the event deck based on the list acquired in step S106 or S108 (S110).

  For example, when the number of event characters included in the list is “5” or less, the control unit 11 selects an event character included in the list as an event character to be incorporated in the event deck. Further, when the number of event characters included in the list is less than “5”, the control unit 11 should be incorporated into the event deck by selecting another event character from among the event characters owned by the user. Five event characters are selected as event characters.

  On the other hand, when the number of event characters included in the list is “6” or more, the control unit 11 selects five event characters from the event characters included in the list.

  Here, as a selection criterion for selecting five event characters from the event characters included in the list, for example, a selection criterion as described below can be used. In the following, an example of the above selection criterion will be described assuming that step S110 is executed after step S106 is executed. That is, an example of the above selection criterion will be described on the assumption that five event characters are selected from the list of event characters obtained in step S106 and having the effect of easily improving the pitcher ability.

  [Example 1] For example, the control unit 11 gives priority to an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving pitcher ability over an event character associated with a practice item for pitcher as a good practice item. You may make it select.

  [Example 2] Conversely, the control unit 11 gives priority to an event character associated with a pitcher's practice item as a good practice item over an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving pitcher ability. You may make it choose.

  [Example 3] Further, for example, the control unit 11 may preferentially select an event character associated with a specific event among events advantageous for improving the pitcher ability over other event characters. .

  [Example 4] Further, for example, the control unit 11 preferentially selects an event character associated with a specific practice item among the practice items for pitchers as a practice item that is good at the event, over other event characters. May be.

  [Example 5] Further, for example, among the event characters associated with an advantageous event for improving the pitcher ability, the control unit 11 determines the event effect (for example, the amount of practice points given by the event or the ability of the event. An event character having a large degree of improvement) may be preferentially selected over an event character having a small event effect.

  [Example 6] Also, for example, the control unit 11 has a good practice effect (for example, a degree of increase of practice points by good practice) among event characters in which a practice item for pitcher is related as a good practice item. A large event character may be preferentially selected over an event character having a small good practice effect.

  [Example 7] Further, for example, the control unit 11 selects an event character having a higher rarity level than an event character having a lower rarity level from among the event characters included in the list (that is, event characters satisfying the selection condition). May also be preferentially selected.

  [Example 7-1] For example, the control unit 11 may select an event character having the first to fifth rarity levels from among the event characters included in the list.

  [Example 7-2] Also, as described above, for example, there may be event characters with the same name, such as the player character A in the example shown in FIG. When the event character is included in the list, the control unit 11 preferentially selects the event character having a high degree of rarity over the event character having a low degree of rarity among the plurality of event characters having the same name. It may be. For example, the control unit 11 may select only the event character having the highest rarity from among the plurality of event characters having the same name, and may not select the remaining event characters.

  Note that a plurality of event characters having the same rarity level may be included among a plurality of event characters having the same name. In such a case, the levels of those event characters may be considered.

  As described when explaining the “level” field of the event character table TBL301, in this baseball game, the level of the event character is increased by synthesizing the event character with another event character. For this reason, even if the event characters have the same name and the same rarity level, there may be those having different levels.

  Therefore, when a plurality of event characters with the same rarity level are included among a plurality of event characters with the same name, the control unit 11 selects a high-level event from the plurality of event characters with the same rarity level. You may make it select a character preferentially over the event character of a low level.

  For example, when a plurality of event characters having the highest rarity level “Super Rare (SR)” are included among a plurality of event characters having the same name, the control unit 11 sets the “Super Rare (SR)”. From among the plurality of event characters for which "" is set, an event character with a higher level may be selected preferentially over an event character with a lower level. For example, the control unit 11 may select only the event character having the highest level and may not select the remaining event characters. The above example targets multiple event characters with the same rarity and the same name, and selects a high-level event character from among them, but as another variation, different names with the same rarity A plurality of event characters may be targeted, and an event character with a high level may be selected from among them.

  [Example 7-3] Further, for example, when selecting an event character from among event characters associated with an event advantageous for improving the pitcher ability, the control unit 11 selects an event character with a high degree of rarity. You may make it select preferentially rather than a low event character.

  [Example 7-4] Or, when an event character having a large event effect is preferentially selected from event characters associated with an event advantageous for improving pitcher ability over an event character having a small event effect, When there are a plurality of event characters having the same event effect, the control unit 11 gives priority to the event character having a high rarity over the event character having a low rarity from among the plurality of event characters. May be selected automatically.

  [Example 7-5] Alternatively, when an event character is selected from among event characters associated with practice items for pitchers that are good practice items, the control unit 11 selects an event character with a high rarity level. The event character may be selected with priority over a low event character.

  [Example 7-6] Or, an event character having a great practice effect is preferentially selected from event characters associated with a pitcher's practice item as a good practice item over an event character having a small good practice effect When there are a plurality of event characters having the same level of good practice effect, the control unit 11 selects an event character having a high rarity level from among the plurality of event characters as a low rarity level. You may make it select preferentially rather than an event character.

  Note that the user may be able to set a desired selection criterion in advance as the selection criterion.

  For example, when using the selection criteria of Example 3 above, a user can specify a specific event in advance on a setting screen (for example, an option screen or a customization screen) for performing various settings. Also good. And the control part 11 is made to select preferentially the event character with which the specific event previously designated by the user is linked | related among the events advantageous for improvement of pitcher ability over other event characters. Also good.

  Specifically, for example, the user may be able to designate in advance one of events such as “focus on ball speed”, “focus on control”, “focus on changing ball”, and “focus on balance”. . When the event designated in advance by the user is “focus on ball speed”, the control unit 11 preferentially selects an event character associated with an event advantageous for improving the “ball speed” over other event characters. You may make it do.

  Further, for example, the user may be able to designate in advance any event such as “an event with humor”, “an event with a sense of urgency”, and “an emotional event”. When the event designated in advance by the user is a “touching event”, the control unit 11 associates an event classified as a “touching event” among events advantageous for improving the pitcher ability. The selected event character may be preferentially selected over other event characters.

  Similarly, when the selection criterion of Example 4 is used, the user can specify specific practice items in advance on a setting screen (for example, an option screen or a customization screen) for performing various settings. It may be. And the control part 11 is made to select preferentially the event character with which the practice item designated by the user is related as a practice item which is good among the practice items for pitchers over other event characters. Good.

  In the above, it is assumed that step S110 is executed after step S106 is executed (that is, a case where five event characters are selected from a list of event characters having an effect of easily improving the pitcher ability). Thus, the example of the above selection criterion has been described. However, when step S110 is executed after step S108 is executed (that is, 5 out of the list of event characters having an effect of easily improving the fielder ability). Similar selection criteria can also be used when selecting two event characters.

  After step S110 is executed, the control unit 11 updates the user's event deck based on the selection result in step S110 (S112). That is, the control unit 11 registers the event character selected in step S110 in the event deck table TBL102. That is, the control unit 11 accesses the event deck table TBL102 and registers the event character ID of the event character selected in step S110 in the “first setting frame” to “fifth setting frame” fields. Thereafter, the control unit 11 causes the display unit 15 to display an event deck screen image G500 indicating the updated event deck (S114). At this time, the event deck screen image G500 is generated based on the event character table TBL101 and the event deck table TBL102.

  In the game system 1 (user terminal 10) described above, if the user selects one of a plurality of options (processing objects P410, P420) displayed on the automatic setting menu screen image G400, a desired event ( An event character that produces a desired effect) is selected. According to the game system 1 (user terminal 10), by selecting a desired option, an event character that generates a desired event is selected. Therefore, an event character that generates a desired event is selected. It is possible to assist the user so that it can be performed easily.

  Further, the automatic setting menu screen image G400 displays a plurality of options related to the hero character's training policy. If the user selects a desired breeding policy, an event character that generates an event that matches the desired breeding policy is selected, and an event corresponding to the event character is generated. According to the game system 1 (user terminal 10), by selecting a desired breeding policy, an event character that generates an event that matches the desired breeding policy is selected. It becomes possible to assist the user in easily selecting an event character.

  Also, the event deck screen image G500 displays good practice information of event characters incorporated in the event deck by automatic setting of the event deck. For this reason, the user can grasp the practice items of the event character incorporated in the event deck. For this reason, the user can grasp what effect is generated in the game.

  In the embodiment described above, the display control unit 120, the selection condition setting unit 130, the game object selection unit 140, and the game control unit 150 are realized by the user terminal 10, and processing of these functional blocks (see FIG. 12). The process shown in FIG. 6 is executed based on the data stored in the individual data storage unit 100 of the user terminal 10. As a result, access from the user terminal 10 to the server 30 when executing the above processing is reduced. In other words, the server 30 is not subjected to an enormous load by being simultaneously accessed from a large number of user terminals 10.

[5. Modified example]
The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.

  [1] In the embodiment described above, data related to each user (for example, FIGS. 9 to 11) is collectively managed by the server 30, and the user terminal 10 acquires data related to the user from the server 30. However, the server 30 may not collectively manage the data regarding each user. That is, the user terminal data may be individually managed by the user terminal 10. In this case, the request unit 110, the processing unit 310, and the data storage unit 300 shown in FIG. 8 can be omitted.

  [2] In the game system 1, the game may be executed by performing data communication between the user terminal 10 and the server 30. For example, the game may be executed by displaying a screen image on the display unit 15 of the user terminal 10 based on data provided from the server 30 based on a request from the user terminal 10. FIG. 13 is a functional block diagram of the game system 1 in such a case.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the server 30 (an example of a game control device) includes a data storage unit 300, a display control unit 320, a selection condition setting unit 330, a game object selection unit 340, and a game control unit 350. Functional blocks other than the data storage unit 300 are realized by the control unit 31 executing processing according to a program. The data storage unit 300 is the same as the data storage unit 300 of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the user terminal 10 includes a display control unit 160 and an automatic setting request unit 170. These functional blocks are realized by the control unit 11 executing processing according to a program.

  The display control unit 320 will be described. The display control unit 320 performs control for causing the display means to display a plurality of options related to game control content. Since the function of the display control unit 320 is basically the same as that of the display control unit 120 of FIG. 8, the description thereof is omitted here. However, since the display control unit 320 is provided in the server 30, for example, the display control unit 320 transmits data necessary for displaying the automatic setting menu screen image G400 or the event deck screen image G500 to the user terminal 10. To do. Based on this data, the display control unit 160 of the user terminal 10 causes the display unit 15 to display the automatic setting menu screen image G400 or the event deck screen image G500.

  Next, the automatic setting request unit 170 and the selection condition setting unit 330 will be described. The automatic setting request unit 170 transmits information indicating at least one option selected by the user from the plurality of options displayed on the display unit 15 by the display control unit 320 to the server 30. The selection condition setting unit 330 selects at least one game object corresponding to at least one option selected by the user from among a plurality of game objects based on at least one option selected by the user. Set the selection conditions. Since the function of the selection condition setting unit 330 is basically the same as that of the selection condition setting unit 130 of FIG. 8, the description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, the game object selection unit 340 and the game control unit 350 will be described. The game object selection unit 340 selects at least one game object from a plurality of game objects based on the selection condition set (selected) by the selection condition setting unit 330. The game control unit 350 performs game control based on at least one game object selected by the game object selection unit 340. The functions of the game object selection unit 340 and the game control unit 350 are basically the same as those of the game object selection unit 140 and the game control unit 150 in FIG.

  Next, an example of processing executed in the game system 1 to realize the functional blocks shown in FIG. 13 will be described. FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining an example of processing executed in the game system 1 when the processing object P230 of the event deck screen image G200 is selected. 14, the process related to the user terminal 10 is executed by the control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 based on the program stored in the storage unit 12, and the process related to the server 30 is executed by the control unit 31 of the server 30. The program is executed based on the program stored in the storage unit 32. In the following, the process illustrated in FIG. 14 will be described assuming that the user X selects the process object P230.

  When the processing object P230 of the event deck screen image G200 is selected, as illustrated in FIG. 14, the control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 requests the server 30 for data of the automatic setting menu screen image G400 (S120). The data of the automatic setting menu screen image G400 is data necessary for displaying the automatic setting menu screen image G400 on the display unit 15 of the user terminal 10. The control unit 31 of the server 30 receives the above request (S300), and returns data of the automatic setting menu screen image G400 to the user terminal 10 (S302). The control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 receives the data returned from the server 30 (S122). When data necessary for displaying the automatic setting menu screen image G400 is stored in the user terminal 10 in advance, these processes (steps S120, S300, S302, S122) may be omitted.

  The control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 displays the automatic setting menu screen image G400 on the display unit 15 (S124). Then, while the automatic setting menu screen image G400 is displayed, the control unit 11 determines whether one of the “Pitcher” or “Fielder” breeding policies has been selected (S126). That is, the control unit 11 determines whether one of the processing objects P410 or P420 has been selected.

  When any one of the growth policies is selected, the control unit 11 transmits an event deck automatic setting request to the server 30 (S128). In this case, information indicating which of “Pitcher” or “Fielder” has been selected as the training policy is transmitted to the server 30 together with the user ID of the user X. For example, when the processing object P410 is selected, information indicating that “pitcher” is selected as the breeding policy is transmitted to the server 30. On the other hand, when the processing object P420 is selected, information indicating that “fielder” is selected as the training policy is transmitted to the server 30.

  The control unit 31 of the server 30 receives the event deck automatic setting request (S304). In this case, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the breeding policy selected by the user X is “Pitcher” (S306).

  When the breeding policy selected by the user X is “Pitcher”, the control unit 31 refers to the event character table TBL301, and has an effect of easily improving the pitcher ability among the event characters owned by the user X. A list of event characters is acquired (S308). The processing in step S308 is basically the same as that in step S106 in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the breeding policy selected by the user X is “fielder”, the control unit 31 refers to the event character table TBL301, and the effect that the fielder ability is easily improved from the event characters owned by the user X. A list of event characters having "" is acquired (S310). The processing in step S310 is basically the same as that in step S108 in FIG.

  After step S308 or S310 is executed, the control unit 31 selects an event character to be incorporated in the event deck based on the list acquired in step S308 or S310 (S312). The processing in step S312 is basically the same as step S110 in FIG.

  Thereafter, the control unit 31 updates the event deck of the user X based on the selection result in step S312 (S314). That is, the control unit 31 registers the event character selected in step S312 in the event deck table TBL302. That is, the control unit 31 accesses the event deck table TBL302, and the event character ID of the event character selected in step S312 is associated with the user ID of the user X from “first setting frame” to “fifth setting frame”. Register in the field.

  Thereafter, the control unit 31 generates data of the event deck screen image G500 indicating the updated event deck of the user X, and transmits the data to the user terminal 10 (S316). The control unit 11 of the user terminal 10 receives the data (S130), and displays the event deck screen image G500 on the display unit 15 based on the data (S132).

  As described above, even when a game is executed by executing data communication between the user terminal 10 and the server 30, the user can easily select an event character that causes a desired event to occur. It becomes possible to assist so that it can be performed.

  [3] In steps S106 and S108 in FIG. 12 and steps S308 and S310 in FIG. 14, a list of event characters is acquired in consideration of the breeding policy selected by the user (that is, event character selection conditions) However, elements other than the growth policy selected by the user may be considered.

  For example, a list of event characters may be acquired in consideration of the type or content of a scenario (game story) executed in the training part. For example, in step S106 in FIG. 12, a list of event characters that have an effect of easily improving the pitcher ability parameter and that match the type or content of the scenario may be acquired.

  For example, when the scenario executed in the breeding part is a scenario that progresses in a place where there are many specific types of characters, an event that has an effect of easily improving the pitcher ability parameter in step S106 of FIG. You may make it acquire the list | wrist of the said specific kind of event character which is a character.

  Specifically, for example, the scenario executed in the training part is where there are many characters of a specific gender (for example, a school where only students of a specific gender attend, or the number of students of one gender is the gender of the other 12 is an event character having an effect of easily improving the pitcher ability parameter in step S106 of FIG. 12, and the above-described scenario. A list of event characters of a specific gender may be acquired.

  In order to execute the processing as described above, for example, data defining a correspondence relationship between a scenario type and an event character suitable for the type, or correspondence between a scenario and an event character suitable for the content of the scenario. Data that defines the relationship may be stored in advance, and an event character that matches the type or content of the scenario may be specified based on this data.

  [4] The user may be able to establish a relationship (for example, a friend relationship or a fellow relationship) with another user. That is, the user may be associated with other users. If the user has a relationship with another user, the event deck setting area A210 of the event deck screen image G200 has a setting frame (for example, an assistant) that can set an event character owned by the other user. A frame or a friend frame) may be added.

  [5] In the embodiment described above, the user can select a desired training policy (in other words, a desired effect) on the automatic setting menu screen image G400. A desired event may be selected. For example, when a travel event is selected as a desired event, an event character associated with the travel event may be selected as an event character to be incorporated into the event deck and incorporated into the event deck. .

  Alternatively, the user may select a desired game item on the automatic setting menu screen image G400. For example, when a bat is selected as a desired game item, an event character associated with an event in which the bat is given to the user (or an event in which the bat is likely to be given to the user) is associated with the event deck. It may be selected as a character and incorporated into the event deck. Note that the “bat” may be a special bat in which a fielder ability parameter such as “meet” or “power” is improved by using the “bat”.

  [6] In the embodiment described above, the event character to be incorporated into the event deck is selected from among the event characters owned by the user. For example, the event character to be incorporated into the event deck is a predetermined event. You may make it selectable from a character group. The “event character group” in this case may be a common event character group that can be arbitrarily selected by all users. Furthermore, even if a certain user selects a predetermined event character, another user may be able to select the same event character without the event character being monopolized by the user.

  [7] A game object other than an event character (game character) may be incorporated in the event deck. For example, a game item (such as a bat, ball, or mitt) may be incorporated into the event deck. At this time, only the game item may be incorporated into the event deck, or both the game character and the game item may be incorporated into the event deck.

  For example, when a bat is incorporated in an event deck, an event associated with the bat may occur in the breeding part. For example, an event in which hitting practice points are given, an event in which more hitting practice points are given, or the like may occur.
