Game system, server, and terminal device

Abstract

There is provided a game system and the like capable of realizing at a terminal machine, a game environment similar to that of an actual game machine to be used by a plurality of players, without adding a load to a server. A game system GS according to the present invention includes a server SS and a plurality of terminal machines T; the server SS holds setting state information to be set in the terminal machines T; the setting state information is provided to the terminal machine T; and, when obtaining the setting state information, the terminal machines T set the setting state information as its own local state, and executes a game based on the local state. The local states of the terminal machines T vary with the situations of the game, and the local state at the moment of game end is transmitted to the server SS. The server SS which has received the local state at the moment of game end from the terminal machine T updates the setting state information into the local state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a game system for executing a game according to player's operation by consuming predetermined virtual game value, and to a server and a terminal used in the game system. Background technique [0002] The game system which consists of a terminal and a server system and plays a predetermined game is known (for example, refer patent document 1). On the other hand, game machines that are installed in a part of game corners of game centers or stores, and execute games corresponding to player's operations by consuming game value such as coins or coins are known (for example, refer to Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3). . [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2002-306854 Patent Document 2: Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 06-225961 Patent Document 3: JP-A-11-146938. [0004] Like the above-mentioned game machines, when installed in a game ce...

Problems solved by technology

When only the same player is using the same terminal, especially if the state at the end of the game is bad, since the next game must be started in that bad state, it may reduce the motivation to play the game

On the other hand, if the server is configured to provide a virtual game machine, considering the complexity of control and the number of players playing the game at the same time, the load on the server becomes a problem
