The information processing program 41 shown in
The first step S1 is, in the present embodiment, a step for executing a basic processing of the game such as progressing the game and controlling the character, and for instance, executes the various processing such as progressing the game and switching a game mode.
The second step S2 executes, in the present embodiment, the processing related to the Gacha that randomly provides the game media to the player by the lottery game according to the consumption of the consideration in the game.
In the following a step S2b, it requests for the player 2 to consume (pay) the first consideration as the in-game consideration via the player terminal 30. In the present embodiment, as shown in
On the other hand, when the player 2 inputs a payment of the first consideration via the player terminal 30, the input of the payment of the first consideration is accepted in the step S2c (acceptance process).
Following the reception processing, the lottery of the Gacha is executed in a step S2d. In the 10 times Gacha of the “10 consecutive Gacha” in the lottery of the Gacha, the 10-game media (for instance, the card, the item and the like) are randomly selected each based on the winning probability.
The 10-game media selected in the step S2d are provided to the player 2 via the player terminal 30 in a step S2e (the granting processing). Note that 10-game media may all be different or may include the same one.
By the way, in the present embodiment, in the step S2c, by inputting the consumption request for the second consideration that is the n times of the first consideration and paying the second consideration, the same game media of the n times of the game media selected in the Gacha can be received to be provided. In other words, for instance, when it pays twice the price in the 10 consecutive Gacha, it will get 2 of each of the randomly (based on the winning probability) 10 selected game media for it can get a total of a 20-game media. Furthermore, for instance, in the case of the Gacha executed the one time instead of the 10 consecutive Gacha, it is possible to obtain that the game media of the n times of the number of a one lottery.
About this second consideration, it may be that a n of the n times is an integer exceeding 1 (for instance, the 2 times, the 3 times, the 4 times and the like), or may be that the n of the n times is the number less than 1 (for instance, the 0.5 times, the 0.6 times and the like). Further, the value of the second consideration (that is, the value of the n) may be arbitrarily set in advance, or may be arbitrarily set according to the condition such as a game situation, a various play history of the player, and a parameter value and the like. When the n of the n times is the number less than 1, for instance, it may exist that getting the 0.5 times of a quantity of the game media, however, by getting the 2 times of the game media that 0.5 times and it gets the game media that the 1 time (or an integral number times), or by generating to the 1 or more, it may be used as an one game medium, or it may be used as the 0.5 game medium alone. When it may be used as the 0.5 game medium alone, for instance, when the 0.5 times game media is used alone, it may be obtained an effect of the 0.5 times of the game media against the (the 1 time) effect of the game media.
In the present embodiment, in response to the consumption request in the step S2b, as shown in
Following the reception processing, the Gacha lottery is executed in step S2d.
In the step S2d, the 10 lotteries of the “10 consecutive Gacha” are executed, when the 10-game media (it may be all the different game media or some overlaps) is randomly selected, in step S2e, as shown in
Note that, only when the player satisfies a specific condition in the game, the reception processing in the step S2c may accept the request for the consumption of the second consideration from the player. For instance, a special lottery game that the game media of the n times that is granted by consuming the second consideration may be executed when the player satisfies the specific condition. Alternatively, when the specific condition is satisfied, the consumption of the second consideration of the specific n times may be selected. For instance, normally it is possible to select the first consideration that is the 1 time and the second consideration (n=2) that is the 2 times, however when the specific condition is satisfied, it may be possible to select the second consideration (n=3) that is the 3 times. Further, after receiving the consumption request of the second consideration from the player, by satisfying the specific condition, it may be possible to execute that the granting processing the game media. Here, the specific condition is not particularly limited as long as it is the condition related to the game, however for instance, it may be possessing or consuming a specific item such as a high-risk Gacha ticket and the like, or it can be the condition related to player data about each the player. Further, the conditions related to the player data may be, specifically, for instance, a preset point in time (a current moment, a specific point in the past) or during a preset period, a progress degree of the game (a reached stage, an acquired item and the like), in case of the value of a preset parameter is above or below a preset threshold. The preset parameter may be, for instance, the value related to the login such as the number of the times of the login and the login time and the like, the value related to the play history such as the number of the times of a play, a play time and the like, the value related to a relationship with another user such as the number of the friend, the number of a cooperative play with the other user and the like, the level in a player game, a rank in the game, the number of owned an in-game currencies, the quantity of a paid charge, a numerical value related to the character (the attack power, the defense power, the physical strength, the level and the like), the number of the owned item, the number of an owned character, the number of the consumed stamina, the value of a current stamina, the number of the times of executing the preset lottery game and the like. The specific item such as the high-risk Gacha ticket and the like are granted to the player in the game by clearing a preset stage of the game, the paid change, purchasing by the in-game currency and the like. The specific condition may be satisfying of any one of the above conditions, or may be a combination of the multiple condition.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, it may be existing the limit that the number of the times of the lottery processing based on the consumption of the second consideration can be executed. For instance, an upper limit of the number of executing may be set such as the 1 time, the 10 times, the 20 times and the like within a preset period such as a 1 hour, a 1 day, a 1 week, a 1 month and the like. The Information related to the upper limit is stored in the storage part. Such the limit may be common to all the player, or may be set for each the player. Further, the limit may be a constant or may vary based on the player data and the like. For instance, when the above-mentioned specific condition is satisfied, the limit of the number of the times may be relaxed (that is, the number of the times that can be executed in the preset period is increased). Alternatively, when the above-mentioned specific condition is not satisfied, the limit of the number of the times may be made stricter (that is, the number of the times that can be executed in the preset period is reduced).
Based on the processing in the first step S1 and the second step S2, in the present embodiment, the game is executed on the player terminal 30.
The player terminal 30 shown in the
The control part 31 controls, in the present embodiment, a various part of the player terminal 30, such as the display 32 and a not shown camera and the like, and consisted in, for instance, a processor, a memory, a storage, a transmitting/receiving part and the like.
This control part 31 stores, in the present embodiment, a game application or a browser that can view a website, based on the processing by the information processing program 41 of the server 20, the game is executed via the game application or the browser on the player terminal 30.
The display 32 displays, in the present embodiment, a screen interface and the like of executed the game on the player terminal 30.
This display 32 is a so-called touch panel that accepts the information input by touching the display surface, and is implemented using a various technology such as a resistive film method and a capacitive method.
In the present embodiment, a player operation information D2 is input via this display 32.
The player operation information D2 is, in the present embodiment, the information input related to the operation and the movement of the character used by the player 2 in the game, or the information input related to a various setting and a utility management related to the game.
This player operation information D2 is input based on an arbitrary action (for instance, an action such as a tapping, a double-tapping, a long-tapping, a sliding, or a swiping the screen, or the action such as a dragging and a dropping an icon displayed on the screen and the like) by the player 2 on the display 32.
In such the game system 10, when the player 2 progresses the game by executing the game on the player terminal 30, the Gacha is started at an arbitrary timing according to the progress of the game.
About starting of the Gacha, when the player 2 inputs, as the in-game consideration, the consumption of the first consideration or the second consideration, and an inputting is accepted, a lottery of the Gacha is executed, and the game media of the number according to the input first consideration or the second consideration, is provided to the player 2 via the player terminal 30.
In the present embodiment, when the second consideration that is the n times against the first consideration is received, the same game media of the quantity based on n times on the second consideration is provided, hereby, the game quality is improved by the Gacha and the interest of the player 2 can be increased. Here, the quantity based on the n times may be the quantity of the n times. In that case, for instance, when the second consideration is twice of the first consideration, the same game media of the number of twice is granted. Moreover, the quantity based on the n times may be the quantity obtained by multiplying the n by a preset coefficient. The coefficient may be greater than or equal to 1 or less than 1, and is stored in advance in a storage part. The coefficient may vary for each the player according to each the player data, or may be a constant. For example, in case of the preset coefficient is 1.5, when the second consideration that is twice of the first consideration is consumed, it is granted to the player that the randomly selected specific game medium (the same game medium) of 3 that “2” that is the value of the n is multiplied by the coefficient of “1.5”. Further, for instance, in case of the preset coefficient is 0.5, when the second consideration that is four times of the first consideration is consumed, it is granted to the player that the randomly selected specific game medium (the same game medium) of 2 that “4” that is the value of the n is multiplied by the coefficient of “1.5”. Note that the method for calculating such the quantity is not limited to multiply by the coefficient, and may be an arbitrary calculation method such as adding, subtracting, or dividing the preset number.
In particular, in the present embodiment, when the n times on the second consideration is an integer multiple, it is increasing that a risk that the consumption of the in-game consideration on the Gacha will be a high price, however, when the game media with a high rarity is selected on the Gacha, it is existing a great return that the provided game media that will be increasing the n times.
On the other hand, when the n of the n times on the second consideration is the number less than 1, it is decreasing the risk by the consumption of the in-game consideration on the Gacha will be reduced, however, when the game media with the high rarity is won on the Gacha, it becomes a smaller return by the provided quantity will be the number according to the n times.
In this way, it is expected that the interest of the player will be further improved by arbitrarily executing the high-risk high-return Gacha or a low-risk low-return Gacha.
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and a various change can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the above embodiment, at starting the Gacha, a case has been described that inputting of the consumption of the first consideration as the in-game consideration is required, however, for instance, it may be a selection between the first consideration and the second consideration is requested, alternatively, it may be a suggestion to input the consumption of the second consideration.
In the above embodiment, the case has been described that the information processing program 41 stored in the server 20 executes the information processing related to the game on the player terminal 30, however, it may be configured such that a part or an all of the information processing program 41 is stored in the player terminal 30 and this the information processing program 41 executes the information processing related to the game on the player terminal 30.
