The stage setting unit 132 may determine that the player has performed the stage setting operation based on the sensing data received via the communication unit 110. The gesture may be, for example, shaking the terminal 200 or drawing a figure such as a circle or a rectangle on the display of the terminal 200 with a finger. Further, the stage setting operation may be voice input by the player.

For example, when a plurality of search stages are set in advance in the inactive state for the entire map and the stage setting operation from the player is received, the stage setting unit 132 determines a predetermined search stage from the inactive state. Based on the probability, the search stage to be activated may be selected. The selected search stage is displayed on the entire map as a new search stage by the overall map providing unit 133, which will be described later, and is provided to the player. That is, the whole map providing unit 133 displays only the search stage in the active state on the whole map.

Further, the stage setting unit 132 sets a character to appear in the search stage. The stage setting unit 132 selects, for example, a character from a group of characters composed of a plurality of characters so that a different character appears in each search stage, and sets the character to appear in the search stage. Further, the stage setting unit 132 may select a character from a group of characters composed of a plurality of characters having different attributes based on a predetermined probability (appearance rate). For example, a value of rarity (rareness) is set for each character, and the higher the rarity of the character, the lower the appearance probability is set.

The overall map providing unit 133 provides a player terminal operated by one player with an overall map including information on a search stage set according to a stage setting operation performed by another player. For example, one player is provided with an overall map containing information about the search stage set by another player's stage setting operation. The information about the search stage may be, for example, information about a character appearing in the search stage, and may be an image such as a character's attribute and strength, or a character's icon. In addition, information indicating the player who performed the stage setting operation for the search stage (images such as player ID and avatar), game assets (characters and items) of the player, game assets of the player who cleared the search stage, etc. are included. You may. By sharing information about the game assets of other players who have cleared the exploration stage, players can use their own game assets as a reference when formulating strategies on how to clear the exploration stage. Can be done.

Further, as described above, the overall map providing unit 133 may provide a new overall map to the player terminal when the game execution unit 131 determines that the overall map has been cleared.

In addition, a community may be formed among players in a friendship relationship through the information about the search stage provided in the whole map. As a result, it is possible to share information for clearing the search stage among players who have similar game assets (characters, character attributes, items, etc.), and it is possible to have a sense of unity throughout the game. ..

The display control unit 134 generates data for various game screens according to the progress of the game executed by the game execution unit 131. Then, the screen data generated to the terminal 200 is transmitted via the communication unit 110.

Returning to FIG. 8, in step S102, the overall map providing unit 133 generates an overall map provided to the player. Then, the display control unit 134 is instructed to generate image data, and the data is transmitted to the terminal 200 of the logged-in player.

The overall map providing unit 133 acquires logged-in player information from, for example, the player information 122 of the storage unit 120. The player information includes the search stage set by the player and the friend information for each player included in the player information. Further, the overall map providing unit 133 acquires information about the character appearing in the search stage from the search stage information 124. Based on these, the whole map providing unit 133 provides a whole map including information about the search stage set by the friend of the logged-in player.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of player information. As shown in FIG. 10, the player information is associated with information (ID) that identifies the player, game assets (characters, etc.) owned by the player, a search stage set by the player, friends, and the like. In addition to this, the player information may be associated with login / logout history, billing status, and the like. In addition to the character, the game assets include items such as weapons, armor, and tools used for the character, virtual currency in the game, and the like (not shown in FIG. 10). In FIG. 10, for example, the player ID “P01” has a game asset (character) owned by “C01, C03, C05”, a set search stage is “S01”, and a friend player is “P02, P03”. Further, the player IDs "P02" and "P05" are associated with the set search stage "x", which means that the search stage is not set.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of search stage information. The information (ID) for identifying the search stage set in the entire map is associated with the player who performed the stage setting operation, the character appearing in the search stage, the position set in the entire map, and the like. As described above, the character appearing in each search stage is set by the stage setting unit 132 based on a predetermined probability. For example, a character that appears is set according to the rarity preset for the character. In FIG. 11, for example, the search stage ID “S01” is “P01” for the player who performed the setting operation, “C11, ...” For the character appearing in the search stage, and “H01” for the position on the entire map. .. The number of characters appearing in the search stage is one or more. Further, the position on the entire map may be, for example, a position tapped by the player on the entire map and may be represented by latitude and longitude in the virtual space of the game.

Further, the stage setting unit 132 may set a character that appears in the search stage based on the position where the search stage is set. For example, the stage setting unit 132 sets the appearance rate of characters and attributes for each whole map in the whole map, and sets the search stage in the search stage based on the appearance rate set in the whole map. Set the character that appears. In addition, the appearance rate of characters and attributes is set for each area in the entire map, and the characters that appear in the search stage are set based on the appearance rate set in the area including the position where the search stage is set. Alternatively, the appearance rate of characters and attributes may be set from both the entire map and the area.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of overall map information. As described in FIG. 2, the whole map corresponds to an island or a part of the island, and as the game progresses, the player is provided (opened) with the whole map corresponding to various islands and searches. Can be done. The whole map information is associated with the information (ID) for identifying the whole map, the search stage ID set in the whole map, the position of the set search stage, the player who has set the search stage, and the like. In FIG. 12, the position of the search stage ID “S01” is “H1” and the setting operation player is “P01”. Further, in the search stage "S00", the setting operation player is associated with the "initial setting", which indicates that the search stage is a preset search stage presented to the player at the start of the game.

The whole map providing unit 133 provides a whole map including information about the search information set by the friend of the logged-in player based on the information shown in FIGS. 10 to 12. Specifically, when the player "P01" shown in FIG. 10 logs in, the search stage "S01" set by the player "P01" and the players "P02" and "P03" of the friends of the player "P01" are set. It is displayed on the entire map including the exploration stage. That is, since the player "P02" does not set the search stage and the player "P03" sets the search stages "S02" and "S03", the initial setting search stage is set for the player "P01". The entire map including "S00", the search stage "S01" set by the user, and the search stages "S02" and "S03" set by the friend is displayed.

Further, when the player "P02" logs in, the search stage set by the player "P01" who is a friend of the player "P02" is displayed on the entire map. That is, since the player "P02" does not set the search stage and the player "P01" sets the search stage "S01", the default search stage "S00" is set for the player "P02". The entire map including the search stage "S01" set by the friend is displayed. Since the players "P01" and "P02" have different friends, each player is provided with an overall map including different search stages.

In this way, since the whole map providing unit 133 provides the whole map including the search stage set by the friend, the player can have a sense of unity with other players, and the progress of the game is various. Can be transformed into.

Further, each search stage is displayed with information about the search stage as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The information about the search stage is, for example, information about the character appearing in the search stage (character name, icon, attribute, strength, etc.), but is not limited to this, and is owned when a friend player clears the search stage. It may include information such as game assets that have been used.

In addition, if the game assets are given by lottery, even if the player has a similar degree of progress in the game to which island (overall map) is cleared, the player himself / herself will have different game assets. Depending on the compatibility between the character appearing on the search stage set by the operation of and the attributes of the game assets owned by the player, it becomes difficult to proceed with the game. Therefore, by displaying the search stage searched by the friend player together with the information about the search stage so that the search stage can be selected, the game can be advanced in various search stages suitable for the assets already owned by the player. In addition, by providing useful search stages and information to each other, the players can have a sense of unity without going through direct joint gameplay.

Returning to FIG. 8, in step S103, the game execution unit 131 receives the input information of the player from the terminal 200 via the communication unit 110. For example, the player performs an input operation regarding the progress of the game with respect to the entire map provided in step S102.

In step S104, the game execution unit 131 determines whether or not the received input information is a stage setting operation. When the game execution unit 131 determines that the stage setting operation is performed (Y in step S104), the stage setting unit 132 sets the search stage in step S105. If not (N in step S104), the process proceeds to step S107.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a stage setting operation. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of an overall map in which the search stage is set by the stage setting operation. The stage setting operation and the setting of the search stage will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.

13 and 14 show the same overall map as the overall map shown in FIG. In FIG. 13, the player performs a stage setting operation such as tapping the position 41 with a finger, for example. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the search stage 42 is set. The stage setting unit 132 refers to the information of the character appearing in the search stage set in the whole map so that the character appearing in the new search stage is different from the character appearing in the already set search stage. Select from the character group. As the characters constituting the character group, a plurality of characters having different attributes may be determined in advance according to the position where the search stage is set (the position on the entire map), and the progress of the player's game may be determined. It may be decided accordingly.

In the balloon 43 of the search stage 42, information about the character appearing in the search stage 42 set by the stage setting unit 132 as described above, identification information of the player who performed the stage setting operation, and the like are displayed.

Returning to FIG. 8, in step S106, the stage setting unit 132 stores the information regarding the set search stage in the search stage information 124 of the storage unit 120. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the stage setting unit 132 informs the search stage information 124 of the player who performed the setting operation, the character appearing in the search stage, the set position in the entire map, and the like for each search stage. Store. After step S106, the process returns to step S102.

In step S107, the game execution unit 131 determines whether or not the input information of the player is the selection of the search stage. When the game execution unit 131 determines that the search stage has not been selected (N in step S107), in step S108, the game execution unit 131 advances the game according to the input operation of the player, and the process is step S102. Return to. For example, it performs display processing of a game menu screen requested by a player, display processing of a message written for interaction with another player, and the like.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the search stage has been selected (Y in step S107), the game execution unit 131 performs a game process for searching the player character in the selected search stage in step S109. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the game execution unit 131 performs a game process in which the player character searches the field while attacking the enemy character.

In step S110, the game execution unit 131 determines whether or not the player has cleared the search stage in step S109. When it is determined that the game has been cleared (Y in step S110), in step S111, the game execution unit 131 grants the character appearing in the cleared search stage to the player as a game asset. For example, a character may be selected from the characters set as characters appearing in the search stage by a lottery (predetermined probability) based on the rarity of the character.

If it is determined that the search stage has not been cleared (N in step S110), the process returns to step S102.

In step S112, the game execution unit 131 determines whether or not the opening condition for opening (providing) the next overall map (island or the like) is satisfied in the current overall map. The opening condition is, for example, a condition that the player clears a predetermined number of search stages in the entire map, a player clears a boss stage that appears after clearing a predetermined number of search stages, and the like. The search stage to be cleared may be a stage set by the player himself or a stage set by a friend, and may be counted without distinction, or may be counted separately by weighting or the like. Further, the opening condition may be based on the type of character given by clearing. For example, if the player owns a predetermined type of character as a game asset, the next overall map may be released.

When the game execution unit 131 determines that the opening condition is satisfied (Y in step S112), the game execution unit 131 performs a process of opening the next overall map (island) based on the overall map information 123 of the storage unit 120 in step S113. conduct. For example, as described in FIG. 12, the entire map provided to the player is changed from the current overall map (for example, M00) to the next overall map (M01). Then, the process returns to step S102. On the other hand, when the game execution unit 131 determines that the opening condition is not satisfied (N in step S112), the process returns to step S102, and in step S102, the current overall map is provided.
