Technical Field

The present invention relates to a game device, a program, and a game system, and more particularly to a game device that provides a game playing experience of a game based on information acquired from an article.

Background

Not only for business use and home use, but also for various kinds of game hardware, the same game title is developed in plural kinds of game hardware to provide different game contents. Such game contents are introduced into elements specific to the characteristics of the game hardware, for example, to provide different interesting experiences. For example, there are also game devices as follows: by reading the card with the code attached thereto, the user is provided with a game playing experience of a game in which a character corresponding to the card is present (patent document 1).

Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

In addition, although in-game objects such as main characters and items of a plurality of game contents related to the same game title are common as described above, in reality, such as development of the game contents individually, game data (progress of the game) associated with a player is not basically shared between different hardware. Therefore, even if the player actively plays a game in the game content provided by a specific hardware and invests in the game content to achieve an ideal progress situation, the player does not enjoy the advantage based on the play history in the game content of the same title developed by other hardware.

In particular, in recent years, users of game contents tend to use general-purpose hardware having good portability, such as mobile phones, smartphones, and tablet computers, and interest elements experienced by the users tend to be limited. In other words, there is a possibility that: the utilization of game contents developed using other hardware may be reduced, thereby making it difficult for the user to keep a constant attention to the game title.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game device, a program, and a game system that promote the use of game content provided by a plurality of pieces of hardware and keep a player concerned.

Means for solving the problems

In order to achieve the above object, a game device according to the present invention includes an execution unit that executes a game of a first game content whose progress is controlled by acquiring first game information from a first type of item, the game device including: a first acquisition unit that acquires first game information from an item of a first category; a second acquisition unit that acquires at least player information on a second game content managed per player from an item of a second category of a game for executing the second game content different from the first game content; and a first control unit that performs control to change second game information for performing progress control of the game of the second game content corresponding to the player information acquired by the second acquisition unit, in accordance with the game of the first game content executed by the execution unit.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

With this configuration, according to the present invention, it is possible to promote the use of game contents provided by a plurality of hardware, thereby making the player continuously pay attention to.
