Video game processing device, video game processing method and video game processing program

A video game processing method for controlling a progress of a video game using a video game processing device independently of an other video game processing device, comprising:

• establishing a communication connection for performing data communication with the other video game processing device;
• receiving a map acquisition requirement of second map-related data through an operation of a player;
• informing the other video game progressing device of the map acquisition requirement when the communication connection with the other video game progressing device is established;
• acquiring the second map-related data from the other video game processing device in accordance with the map acquisition requirement, the second main-related data including second map information that indicates a second predetermined area and second status information of a second non-player character, the second status information including a second level value indicating a second level of the second non-player character;
• and
• storing the second map-related data acquired from the other video game processing device in a map-related data storage, in which first map-related data including first map information showing a first predetermined area and first status information of a first non-player character appearing in the first predetermined area is stored, when the second map information included in the second map-related data is not stored in the map-related data storage,
• wherein the first status information of the first non-player character included in the first map-related data includes a first level value indicating a first level of the first non-player character, and
• the method further comprises:
• renewing the first map-related data by increasing the first level value indicating the first level of the first non-player character each time that the first non-player character becomes a battle-impossible condition by attack of a player character operated by the player;
• and
• when the second map information included in the second map-related data is the same as the first map information included in the first map-related data that is stored in the map-related data storage, comparing the second status information of the second map-related data with the first status information of the first map-related data, and, in response to renewal conditions being determined to be satisfied, performing a confirmation process to confirm advisability of renewal with the player, and, when a renewal instruction is received through the operation of the player, renewing the content stored in the map-related data storage, the renewal conditions including whether the first level value in the first status information of the first map-related data stored in the map-related data storage is lower than the second level value in the second status information of the second map-related data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a video game processing program for controlling progress of a video game using a video game processing device independently of an other video game processing device, the video game processing program causing a computer to execute:

• establishing a communication connection for performing data communication with the other video game processing device;
• receiving a map acquisition requirement of second map-related data through an operation of a player;
• informing the other video game progressing device of the map acquisition requirement when the communication connection with the other video game progressing device is established;
• acquiring the second map-related data from the other video game processing device in accordance with the map acquisition requirement, the second main-related data including second map information that indicates a second predetermined area and second status information of a second non-player character, the second status information including a second level value indicating a second level of the second non-player character;
• and
• storing the second map-related data acquired from the other video game processing device in a map-related data storage, in which first map-related data including first map information showing a first predetermined area and first status information of a first non-player character appearing in the first predetermined area is stored, when the second map information included in the second map-related data is not stored in the map-related data storage,
• wherein the first status information of the first non-player character included in the first map-related data includes a first level value indicating a first level of the first non-player character, and
• the program causes the computer to further execute:
• renewing the first map-related data by increasing the first level value indicating the first level of the first non-player character each time that the first non-player character becomes a battle-impossible condition by attack of a player character operated by the player;
• and
• when the second map information included in the second map-related data is the same as the first map information included in the first map-related data that is stored in the map-related data storage, comparing the second status information of the second map-related data with the first status information of the first map-related data, and, in response to renewal conditions being determined to be satisfied, performing a confirmation process to confirm advisability of renewal with the player, and, when a renewal instruction is received through the operation of the player, renewing the content stored in the map-related data storage, the renewal conditions including whether the first level value in the first status information of the first map-related data stored in the map-related data storage is lower than the second level value in the second status information of the second map-related data.
