Description

  The present invention relates to a game server, a game control method, a program, a recording medium on which the game program is recorded, and a game server that manages the operation of a virtual user (user object) existing in a virtual space by an operation from each terminal connected to the Internet. It relates to a game system.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, so-called social games provided using social networking services (SNS) have become widespread with the spread of high-function mobile terminals represented by smartphones. A social game uses a virtual user who performs an action according to an operation of a user (real user) among objects existing in a virtual space (a virtual world expressed by the game), This game is played while communicating with a real user. The game is basically free of play fees and has an item billing system.

  As one aspect of social games, there is one that constitutes one game that expresses a unique world view by organically combining multiple game parts such as quest part, battle part, composite part, gacha part, trade part, etc. . A trade part which is one of such game parts is a part in which virtual users can exchange items (item objects) owned by each virtual user (Patent Document 1).

JP 2012-210398 A

  By using trade parts, virtual users can exchange items they own with desired items owned by others, so disposing of items that are unnecessary for them and necessary items Acquisition at the same time. Items that can be acquired in quest parts and gacha parts are generated randomly, so it is unpredictable what items will be acquired every time, but according to the trade part, I would like to receive it by exchange Since the item can be designated in advance, the desired item can be reliably acquired when the exchange is established.

  However, fraudulent acts that misuse the item exchange function by the trade part are unending. As an example of this type of fraud, a user who owns an item with a high exchange value, such as a rare item, will be asked to exchange it with a low-value item that would normally not be exchanged. Examples include fraudulent acts for acquiring high-value items and prohibited acts called so-called real money trade (hereinafter referred to as “RMT”) in which items are bought and sold in real currency.

  The present invention was devised under such circumstances, and has a function for punishing a user who has performed an illegal act such as RMT in a social game, and the punitive action itself has an interest unique to a social game. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game server, a game control method, a program, and a game system that can perform the above.

Based on these data, a battle start operation screen (FIG. 12), a battle progress screen (FIG. 13), a battle result screen (FIG. 14), and the like are displayed on the terminal 3. The battle execution processing unit 115 has a function of advancing the battle so that a virtual user not set as a battle recommended user is more advantageous than a virtual user set as a battle recommended user. In this embodiment, the battle execution processing unit 115 consumes twice the normal battle points (BP) of the battle recommended user, and sets the attack power value that can be exhibited by the battle recommended user to the original value. Suppressed by half of the game and proceeded with the battle.

  The reward grant processing unit 116 is a functional block that performs a process of giving an opportunity to obtain a reward to a virtual user who has played against the recommended user when the virtual user determined as the opponent user is a recommended game user. As an example of “reward”, a battle point (BP) or other item of points corresponding to the strength of the user recommended for the battle can be cited. The reward granting processing unit 116 has a function of transmitting data for displaying an image informing that an opportunity to obtain a basic reward or a winning reward has been given to the terminal 3 that operates the corresponding virtual user. Yes. Based on this data, a reward screen (gift list screen) (FIG. 15) is displayed on the terminal 3.

(4-2) Operation of Battle Part 23 Next, operations of the battle part processing unit 103 and the game data storage unit 200 configured as described above will be described according to the flow shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of the operation (battle part process) in the battle part processing unit 103. The battle part process includes a battle recommended user setting process (S1), a battle process (S2), and a reward giving process (S3).

  The battle recommended user setting process (S1) is a pre-process of the battle process (S2), and is executed when the existence of a real user who has performed an illegal act such as RMT is detected.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process flow in the battle recommended user setting process.
The battle recommended user setting process (S1) includes an unauthorized user search process (S101) and a battle recommended user registration process (S102).

  The unauthorized user search process (S101) is a process of automatically searching for a virtual user operated by the terminal 3 of a real user who has performed an illegal act such as RMT from the virtual users stored in the virtual user information storage unit 201. It is. In this process, a history that matches a predetermined condition is searched from the list of card replacement history (log) in the trade part 25, and the virtual user specific information (user account, terminal ID, Etc., for example, information that can identify one virtual user). As an example of “predetermined conditions”, exchanges between cards with very different rarities, such as exchange of SS rare cards and normal cards, have been established multiple times. It can be mentioned that the same unique information is recorded in the history multiple times (for example, twice) or more.

  In the recommended match user registration process (S102), if there is a corresponding virtual user as a result of the unauthorized user search process (S101), the recommended match user information storage unit 202 uses the unique information of the virtual user as unique information of the recommended match user. It is a process to memorize.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing in the battle processing.
The battle process (S2) includes a battleable user information transmission process (S201), a battle recommended user recognition enabling data transmission process (S202), an opponent determination process (S203), and a battle execution process (S204).

  The battleable user information transmission process (S201) is a process of transmitting battleable user information to the terminal 3 that operates the virtual user participating in the battle part 23. The matchable user information is generated based on information stored in the virtual user information storage unit 201. The terminal 3 displays an opponent selection screen 41 that displays a list of virtual users that can be selected as opponents based on the opponent user information. FIG. 11 illustrates a display form of the opponent selection screen 41. In this example, a list 42 of pairs of virtual user avatars and handle names that can be selected as the opponent is displayed in the opponent selection screen 41. And the battle button 43 is displayed on the right end part of the line where each virtual user is displayed. The battle button 43 is an opponent selection button for selecting a desired opponent.

  The battle recommended user recognition enabling data transmission process (S202) is a process of transmitting battle recommended user notification information to the terminal 3 that operates the virtual user when there is a virtual user set as the battle recommended user. . Based on the recommended match user notification information, the opponent selection screen 41 displays a list of virtual users so that it can be identified whether or not the recommended match user. In the example of FIG. 11, the handle name of the virtual user set as the recommended user for the battle is surrounded by a frame 44, and “Recommend” indicating that the virtual user is the recommended user for battle is displayed on the frame 44. Is highlighted.

  In the opponent determination process (S203), an opponent user is selected based on an operation command (an opponent selection command) transmitted from the terminal 3 when a display area of a specific battle button 43 on the opponent selection screen 41 is tapped. It is a process to decide. By this process, a battle between the virtual user operated from the terminal 3 that is the transmission source of the opponent selection command and the opponent user determined based on the opponent selection command can be executed.

  The battle execution process (S204) is a process of executing a battle between virtual users based on the result of the opponent determination process (S203).

FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of processing in the battle execution processing.
In the battle execution process (S204), first, a process (S204A) of transmitting data for enabling the start of a battle (a battle start instruction enabling data) to the terminal 3 is executed. Based on the battle start instruction enabling data, a battle start operation screen 51 (FIG. 12) is displayed on the terminal 3. The user of the terminal 3 can instruct the start of the battle by tapping the area where the battle start button 52 is displayed on the battle start operation screen (FIG. 12).

Next, a battle start instruction determination process (S204B) and an opponent determination process (S204C) are executed.
The battle start instruction determination process (S204B) is based on the operation command (match start command) transmitted from the terminal 3 when the display area of the battle start button 52 on the battle start operation screen (FIG. 12) is tapped. This is a process for determining whether or not start is instructed. The process waits until an instruction to start a battle is given (No in S204B). If a battle start is instructed (Yes in S204B), the process proceeds to an opponent discrimination process (S204C).

  The opponent determination process (S204C) is a process of determining whether or not the opponent is a battle recommended user. Whether or not the opponent is a battle recommended user is determined by whether or not the unique information of the virtual user set as the opponent matches any of the unique information stored in the battle recommended user information storage unit 202. Is done. When the opponent is not a battle recommended user (No in S204C), the process proceeds to a normal battle process (S204D). When the opponent is a recommended user (No in S204C), the process proceeds to a special battle process (S204E).

  The normal battle process (S204D) is a process for allowing the battle to proceed under fair conditions. That is, in the normal battle process (S204D), win / loss is determined only by the magnitudes of the attack power and defense power values of the card decks of both virtual users who are opponents of each other.

  The special battle process (S204E) is a process for proceeding with a battle under unfair conditions in which a virtual user not set as a battle recommended user is more advantageous than a virtual user set as a battle recommended user. In this embodiment, the battle point (BP) possessed by the battle recommended user is consumed twice as much as that in the normal battle process (S204D), and the total attack power and total defense power that can be exhibited by the card deck of the battle recommended user. The value is suppressed to half the value in the case of the normal battle process (S204D).

  In any of the battle processes of the normal battle process (S204D) and the special battle process (S204E), if the value of the total attack power and the total defense power of the card deck exhibited during the battle is larger than that of the opponent, the player wins. Victory or defeat is determined by a uniform rule of losing and losing.

  In order to be able to display data for displaying an image indicating the progress of the battle (intermediate progress image data) and an image indicating the result of the battle after the normal battle processing (S204D) or the special battle processing (S204E). (Match result image data) is generated. These data are transmitted to the terminal 3 that operates the virtual user who has determined the opponent user in the battle. Based on these data, a battle progress screen 61 (FIG. 13) is displayed on the terminal 3, and then a battle result screen 71 (FIG. 14) is displayed.

After the battle process (S204), a reward grant process (S3) is executed.
FIG. 10 is a flow diagram illustrating the flow of processing in the reward grant processing.
In the reward grant process (S3), first, a battle process type determination process (S301) is executed. The battle process type determination process (S301) is a process of determining whether or not the battle process executed in the battle process (S204) is a special battle process (S204E). If it is not the special battle process (S204E) (No in S301), the process proceeds to the normal reward grant process (S302). If it is the special match process (S204E) (Yes in S301), the special reward grant process (S303). )

  The normal reward giving process (S302) is a process for giving a normal reward to a virtual user who has played against a virtual user who is not set as a recommended game user. The normal reward is a reward that is given when the result of the battle is a win.

  The special reward giving process (S303) is a process for giving a special reward to a virtual user who has played a battle recommended user. The special reward includes only a basic reward that occurs regardless of the result of the battle with the recommended user, and a victory reward that is generated on the condition that the user has won against the recommended user. And are included. A virtual user who has won a battle against a recommended user is given an opportunity to obtain a basic reward and a victory reward. Both basic rewards and winning rewards are rewards that are more than twice the value of normal rewards. Assuming that the normal reward is 10 battle points (BP), a virtual user who has won a battle against the recommended user will be given 40 battle points (BP) or more in total of the basic reward and the victory reward. These rewards are given as gift items to virtual users who have competed with the recommended user.

  After the normal reward granting process (S302) or the reward granting process (S303), data (reward image data) for enabling display of an image notifying that an opportunity to obtain a reward has been given is generated. This data is transmitted to the terminal 3 that operates the virtual user who is given an opportunity to obtain the reward. Based on this data, a reward screen (gift list screen) 81 (FIG. 15) is displayed on the terminal 3. FIG. 15 illustrates a reward screen 81 that is displayed when a battle-recommended user is won and won. By tapping the display area of the reward receiving instruction buttons 82a, 82b, and 82c on the reward screen 81, receiving of rewards corresponding to the respective buttons 82a, 82b, and 82c is completed.

(5) Actions / Effects According to the game server 1 and the game system G configured as described above, a basic user having a value more than twice the normal reward is given to a virtual user who has played a battle recommended user. The virtual user who has won the battle with the battle recommended user is further given a victory reward equivalent to the basic reward. This gives many virtual users who are not set as a battle recommended user an incentive to play against the battle recommended user, and the possibility that the battle recommended user becomes an attack target is specifically increased. As a result, a disadvantageous situation arises for the battle recommended user, such as a battle point (BP) possessed by the battle recommended user is easily consumed specifically and rapidly. In this way, by causing a disadvantageous situation for the battle recommended user, in other words, the battle recommended user can be attacked by many virtual users who are not set as the battle recommended user. It is possible to punish (giving punishment) an operating subject, that is, an actual user who has performed an illegal act such as RMT. Further, as a punishment for a real user who has performed an illegal act, the virtual user who meets the predetermined penalty condition receives an unfavorable situation, so that the real user who is the operation subject of the virtual user does not perform the illegal act. As a result, the number of real users who comply with the rules increases, and it is possible to provide a healthier game environment free from cheating.

  Also, a list of virtual users that can be selected as opponents is displayed on the opponent selection screen 41, and whether or not each virtual user is a opponent recommended user depending on whether or not a mark “RECOMMENDED” is attached. Therefore, the real user can enjoy the battle after recognizing whether or not the opponent of the virtual user operated by the user is a battle recommended user. Recommended real users who want to punish the recommended users will not allow cheating by providing a game environment that makes it easy to select recommended users as opponents of virtual users operated by them Many real users who wish to punish the game will select a battle-recommended user as the opponent of the virtual user they operate. As a result, since the possibility that a battle recommended user becomes an attack target becomes higher, it is possible to punish a user who has performed an illegal act such as RMT more effectively.

  In addition, since the battle proceeds under unfair conditions where the virtual user not set as the battle recommended user is more advantageous than the virtual user set as the battle recommended user, the attack power and There is a possibility that even a virtual user with low defense power can win the battle. For this reason, a real user who operates a virtual user who is not set as a recommended user can easily select a recommended user as an opponent of the virtual user. Many non-virtual users come to play against recommended users. As a result, since the possibility that a battle recommended user becomes an attack target becomes higher, it is possible to punish a user who has performed an illegal act such as RMT more effectively.

(6) Other Embodiments The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
For example, in the above embodiment, a virtual user who has played a battle recommended user is given a reward having a value more than twice the normal reward regardless of the win or loss of the battle. Only rewards may be given. Further, the value of the reward in the case of playing against the battle recommended user or winning the battle is not limited to twice or more, and may be larger than the value of the normal reward.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when selecting an opponent, although the real user can recognize which virtual user is a battle recommendation user among the virtual users who can become an opponent, when selecting an opponent May not recognize which virtual user is the battle recommended user, and may be able to recognize that the opponent is the battle recommended user during the battle execution or after the battle execution. That is, step S202 may be omitted.

  In the above embodiment, the battle progresses under unfair conditions in which a virtual user not set as a battle recommended user is more advantageous than a virtual user set as a battle recommended user. Individual battles may always be performed under fair conditions.
