Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a game program, the game program causing a computer to execute a process, including: an event occurrence process to cause occurrence of an event for allowing a player to obtain an item; an occurrence count acquisition process to acquire the number of times the event has occurred; a number determination process to determine the number of other players different from the player based on the number of times the event has occurred; and a consecutive event occurrence process to cause an event for allowing players to obtain an item to occur in a consecutive manner after the event for allowing the player to obtain the item, the number of the players being the determined number or less.

Claims (23)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in an electronic game system with a game program stored thereon, the electronic game system comprising a server device and a plurality of user terminals connected to a network, the game program instructing the electronic game system to perform the following processes:

an event occurrence process to cause occurrence of an event for allowing a player to obtain an item based on event information stored in a storage unit;

a number determination process (1) to refer to number determination information in which a number of other players for whom an event is able to occur consecutively and a probability corresponding to the number of other players for whom an event is able to occur consecutively is set based on an event type and a number of event repetitions for the event type and (2) to determine the number of other players in accordance with the event type and the number of event repetitions for allowing the player to obtain an item, the number determination information being stored in the storage unit; and

a consecutive event occurrence process to cause an event for allowing players to obtain an item to occur, based on the event information, in a consecutive manner after the event for allowing the player to obtain the item, the number of the players being a number determined by the number determination process or less.

2. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the game program causes the electronic game system to

execute a reception process to receive inputs from the player for selecting the other players, the number of the inputs being smaller than or equal to the number determined in the number determination process, and

in the consecutive event occurrence process, cause an event for allowing the other players selected based on the inputs received by the reception process to obtain an item to occur in a consecutive manner after the event for allowing the player to obtain the item.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein

when the consecutive event occurrence process has caused consecutive occurrence of the event for allowing the other players to obtain the item, the game program causes the electronic game system to execute a message sending process to send a message from the other players to the player.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the game program causes the electronic game system to execute

a judgment process to judge whether the event that has been caused to occur in the event occurrence process succeeds or fails; and

a provision process to provide the item to the player when the judgment process has judged that the event succeeds.

5. An information processing device comprising:

an event occurrence unit that causes occurrence of an event for allowing a player to obtain an item based on event information stored in a storage unit;

a number determination unit that (1) refers to number determination information in which a number of other players for whom an event is able to occur consecutively and a probability corresponding to the number of other players for whom an event is able to occur consecutively is set based on an event type and a number of event repetitions for the event type and (2) determines the number of other players in accordance with the event type and the number of event repetitions for allowing the player to obtain an item, the number determination information being stored in the storage unit; and

a consecutive event occurrence unit that causes an event for allowing players to obtain an item to occur, based on the event information, in a consecutive manner after the event for allowing the player to obtain the item, the number of the players being a number determined by the number determination unit or less.

6. A game server device in an electronic game system, the server device being connected to a plurality of user terminals in the electronic game system via a network, the server device being configured to:

cause occurrence of an event for allowing a player to obtain an item based on event information stored in a storage unit;

refer to number determination information in which a number of other players for whom an event is able to occur consecutively and a probability corresponding to the number of other players for whom an event is able to occur consecutively is set based on an event type and a number of event repetitions for the event type;

determine the number of other players in accordance with the event type and the number of event repetitions for allowing the player to obtain an item, the number determination information being stored in the storage unit; and

cause an event for allowing players to obtain an item to occur, based on the event information, in a consecutive manner after the event for allowing the player to obtain the item, the number of the players being a number determined by the number determination process or less.
