Information processing device and game program

1. An information processing device provided with:

a non-transitory memory device configured to store player information, in which game content owned by a player is configured in association with the player; and,

a processor, configured to:

initiate fusion processing for virtual cards, wherein the fusion processing comprises fusing two virtual cards associated with identical characters, each virtual card selected from a set consisting of virtual cards indicated in the game content as owned by the player;

determine whether or not a preset condition associated with fusing a first game content and a second game content used as source material for fusion has been satisfied, the first game content being a first virtual card from the game content owned by the player, the second game content being a second virtual card from the game content owned by the player, the second virtual card being a source material card for a character fusion operation, the first virtual card associated with upper limits of parameters;

before the preset condition is satisfied, utilize fusion processing to fuse the second game content with the first game content to thereby vary upper limits of parameters configured in said first game content in a stepwise manner;

subsequent to the fusion processing, update the player information such that said first game content having the varied parameters configured therein is placed in the player's possession while said second game content is not placed in the player's possession; and

wherein once the preset condition is satisfied, initialize the varied parameters configured in said first game content and, at the same time, provide items capable of increasing at least the initialized varied parameters configured in said first game content.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor, upon receiving an operation input from the player, is configured to initialize the parameters configured in said first game content and, at the same time, and provides items capable of increasing the initialized varied parameters configured in said first game content.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the preset condition is a frequency of fusion, at which the first game content and the second game content have been fused, has reached a predetermined frequency, or that the upper limits of the parameters configured in the first game content have reached a cap value.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to provide items associated with the first game content.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to provide different benefits depending on a class of rarity configured in the first game content.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions thereon, which when executed, cause a processor of an information processing device to carry out:

processing to store player information, in which game content owned by a player is configured in association with the player, in a storage unit;

initiate fusion processing for virtual cards, wherein the fusion processing comprises fusing two virtual cards associated with identical characters, each virtual card selected from a set consisting, of virtual cards indicated in the game content as owned by the player;

determination processing to determine whether or not a preset condition associated with fusing a first game content and a second game content used as source material for fusion has been satisfied, the first game content being a first virtual card associated with a first base character stored in the player information, the second game content being a second virtual card associated with a second character stored in the player information, the second character being a source material character for a character fusion operation, the first character associated with upper limits of parameters;

fusion processing during which, before the preset condition is satisfied, the second game content is fused with the first game content to thereby vary upper limits of parameters configured in said first game content in a stepwise manner;

update processing during which, subsequent to the fusion processing, the player information is updated such that said first game content having the varied parameters configured therein is placed in the player's possession while said second game content is not placed in the player's possession; and

benefit provision processing during which, once the preset condition is satisfied, the parameters configured in said first game content are initialized and, at the same time, items capable of increasing at least the initialized varied parameters configured in said first game content are provided.
