Abstract

This application discloses an event execution method, apparatus, computer device, and storage medium in a game scene, belonging to the field of network technology. The technical solution provided by this application, because the second exploration event is associated with a designated target virtual character, allows the virtual character to experience various second exploration events based on the main storyline surrounding the target virtual character within the second game scene. This transforms simple game fragments into narrative-driven interactions, enabling users to obtain a more narrative-driven gaming experience through explorable narrative fragments, thus reducing the likelihood of game interruption and significantly improving user retention. Since users can specify the target virtual character they wish to accompany, it effectively provides users with mutually exclusive choices, forming a more sophisticated strategy and bringing differentiated gaming experiences.

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] It is understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in this application may be used to describe various concepts herein, but unless otherwise specified, these concepts are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one concept from another. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, a first notification message may be referred to as a second notification message, and similarly, a second notification message may be referred to as a first notification message.

[0045] Here, "at least two" refers to two or more messages. For example, "at least two messages" can be any integer number of messages greater than or equal to two, such as two messages, three messages, etc. "Each" refers to each of the "at least two" messages. For example, "each message" refers to each of the "at least two" messages. If the "at least two" messages are three messages, then "each message" refers to each of the three messages.

[0046] It should be noted that the information (including but not limited to samples and sample labels), data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, and displayed data), and signals (including but not limited to signals transmitted between devices) involved in this application have all been fully authorized by the user or relevant parties, and the collection, use, and processing of the relevant data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations, and standards of the relevant countries and regions.

[0047] The implementation of the technical solution provided in this application embodiment can be based on the following implementation environment, jointly implemented by a terminal and a server. The terminal is the terminal 110 in the following implementation environment, and the server is the server 140 in the following implementation environment. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation environment of an event execution method in a game scene provided in this application embodiment. See also... Figure 1 The implementation environment may include terminal 110 and server 140.

[0048] Terminal 110 is connected to server 140 via a wireless or wired network. Optionally, terminal 110 may be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, smartwatch, etc., but is not limited to these. Terminal 110 has an application installed and running that supports event execution in the game scene.

[0049] Server 140 is a standalone physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery network (CDN), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0050] Optionally, terminal 110 refers to one of a plurality of terminals. This application embodiment only uses terminal 110 as an example for illustration.

[0051] Those skilled in the art will understand that the number of terminals described above can be more or less. For example, there may be only one terminal, or there may be dozens or hundreds of terminals, or even more, in which case other terminals may also be included in the above implementation environment. This application does not limit the number of terminals or the type of device in its embodiments.

[0052] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an event execution method in a game scene according to an embodiment of this application. Taking the terminal as the execution subject as an example, see [link to example]. Figure 2 The method includes:

[0053] 201. In response to operations in the first game scene, the terminal controls the virtual character to execute multiple first exploration events in the first game scene.

[0054] In game applications, each user can have at least one virtual character. Users can choose which virtual character to use in a game scenario, thus experiencing different identities or possessing different abilities, such as different virtual characters having different skills. In response to a virtual character entering the first game scenario, the terminal can provide multiple first-stage exploration events for the virtual character. Users can then control the virtual character to execute these events, thereby realizing the game experience within the first game scenario.

[0055] For a game application, it can provide multiple game scenes for users to use, and each game scene corresponds to different unlocking conditions. For example, some game scenes can be unlocked by consuming a certain type of virtual item, some game scenes can be unlocked by accumulating a certain number of virtual points in the previous game scene, some game scenes can only be unlocked after unlocking a specific game scene, or the user can reach a certain condition, such as experience points or accumulated virtual points reaching a certain value, etc. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0056] 202. If multiple first-exploration events meet the target conditions, the terminal will open a second game scene for the virtual character.

[0057] The target conditions can be preset, such as the user completing a target number of exploration events in the first exploration event or the user accumulating a certain number of virtual points in the first exploration event. This embodiment of the application does not limit this. If the virtual character meets the above target conditions in the first game scene, a new second game scene can be opened for the virtual character.

[0058] The first and second game scenes can be related scenes, for example, the next game scene after the first game scene is the second game scene. Alternatively, the first and second game scenes can be unrelated scenes, for example, both the second and first game scenes are randomly selected. Of course, the second game scene can also be a game scene selected by the user after multiple first exploration events have met the target conditions; this embodiment of the application does not limit this.

[0059] 203. In response to a virtual character specifying a target virtual character in a second game scene, the terminal provides the virtual character with multiple second travel events associated with the target virtual character.

[0060] The second game scene can provide multiple target virtual characters, each controlled by the server. Each target virtual character can move around in the second game scene based on server control. Correspondingly, the user can control the virtual character to move around in the second game scene, and may encounter any target virtual character during the activity. At this time, the user can control the virtual character to designate the target virtual character, thereby locking that target virtual character as a companion or partner.

[0061] After a target virtual character is specified, the terminal will provide multiple secondary exploration events associated with that target virtual character. These multiple secondary exploration events can be associated with any attribute of the target virtual character; that is, all the multiple secondary exploration events are related to the target virtual character in terms of content. For example, all the multiple secondary exploration events are associated with the target virtual character's identity, or with the target virtual character's life story, or with the target virtual character's backstory.

[0062] 204. In response to operations in the second game scene, the terminal controls the virtual character to execute multiple second traversal events in the second game scene.

[0063] In some embodiments, second travel events of different event types are triggered by consuming corresponding virtual items, and / or, second travel events of different event types correspond to different virtual rewards.

[0064] Because the second exploration events are linked to a designated target virtual character, the virtual character can experience various second exploration events based on the main storyline surrounding that target virtual character within the second game scenario. This transforms simple game segments into narrative-driven interactions, allowing users to gain a more narrative-driven gaming experience through explorable narrative fragments. This reduces the likelihood of the game being interrupted and significantly improves user retention. Since users can specify the target virtual character they wish to accompany, they are effectively provided with mutually exclusive choices, forming a more sophisticated strategy and delivering a differentiated gaming experience.

[0065] For the second exploration event associated with the specified target virtual character, it can also be determined based on the virtual character's selection. For example, the target virtual character can be associated with multiple event types, each event type including multiple second exploration events. Users can select the second exploration event based on their habits or preferences. That is, step 203 above can include: in response to the virtual character specifying the target virtual character in the second game scene, displaying the event types associated with the target virtual character, each event type associated with different second exploration events; in response to the virtual character's selection operation for any event type, providing the virtual character with multiple second exploration events associated with the selected event type. After the virtual character specifies the target virtual character, the terminal can provide the virtual character with multiple options, each option corresponding to a different event type. Users can then trigger different event types of second exploration events by selecting different event types. It is understood that multiple event types can be selected during the selection process to integrate different gameplay and experience multiple different types of exploration events.

[0066] For the second exploration events associated with the specified target virtual character, they can also be determined based on the virtual items possessed by the virtual character. If the virtual character possesses a certain virtual item, then the second exploration event corresponding to that virtual item is provided to it. This allows the virtual character to trigger the interruption of the second exploration event by consuming the virtual item when it wants to experience it. To provide a prompt, the activation status of the second exploration event can be used to visually indicate whether the virtual character can currently execute it. For example, a target virtual character can be associated with multiple second exploration events, but only the virtual character can be provided with already activated second exploration events. Furthermore, based on the virtual character's development in the second game scene, such as the virtual character acquiring new virtual items, some previously inactive second exploration events can be activated and provided to the virtual character to experience. In other words, step 203 above may include: in response to a virtual character specifying a target virtual character in the second game scene, displaying multiple second exploration events and the activation status of each second exploration event, the activation status being determined by the virtual items possessed by the virtual character; and in response to the virtual character acquiring a virtual item corresponding to a second exploration event, switching the second exploration event to an active state. By providing the above method, users can be intuitively informed which second exploration events can be executed currently and which require acquiring additional virtual items to execute, thus encouraging users to acquire virtual items and increasing their engagement in interacting within the second game scene.

[0067] Each second exploration event can be provided based on a certain probability; that is, which second exploration event will be experienced is randomized by the server. In other words, in response to actions within the second game scenario, multiple second exploration events associated with the target virtual character are provided based on the probabilities corresponding to different event types. For each second exploration event, a certain probability can be set, and when determining which second exploration event to provide, this probability can be used to determine which event should be provided, thereby enhancing the fun and randomness of the second game scenario. In some embodiments, different probabilities can be set for different second exploration events to adjust the occurrence probability of each event, thereby adjusting the interaction difficulty within the entire second game scenario and providing different gaming experiences for virtual characters with different abilities.

[0068] It is understood that the aforementioned multiple second exploration events are not provided to the virtual character simultaneously, but rather have a certain dependency relationship. For example, only after the virtual character has completed one of the second exploration events will other second exploration events be provided to the virtual character. That is, in response to operations in the second game scene, the virtual character is controlled to execute the target exploration event among multiple second exploration events in the second game scene; when the target exploration event meets the target condition, other second exploration events among multiple second exploration events are provided to the virtual character; if the target exploration event does not meet the target condition, the target exploration event is provided to the virtual character in a cyclical manner. Of course, the execution of the target exploration event can be either completed or executed to a certain specified stage; this embodiment of the application does not limit this.

[0069] The above solution will now be described using an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an event execution method in a game scene according to an embodiment of this application. See also... Figure 3 Taking the terminal as the execution subject as an example, the method includes:

[0070] 301. The terminal unlocks the snowfield exploration option after the user meets the conditions.

[0071] This process can be initiated after the user meets preset conditions, such as reaching a preset level or staying for a preset duration. In this case, the Snowfield Exploration option can be unlocked by displaying the corresponding map unlock in the user's map, allowing the user to select and execute the Snowfield Exploration.

[0072] 302. In response to the consumption operation of the virtual item corresponding to the Snowfield Exploration option, the terminal opens the Snowfield Exploration scene so that the virtual character controlled by the user can perform the Snowfield Exploration event in the Snowfield Exploration scene.

[0073] Unlocking can mean that the user can control the virtual character to start the Snowfield Adventure, or it can mean that the user has the permission to start the Snowfield Adventure based on virtual items. In the latter case, in response to the consumption operation of virtual items, the terminal can start the Snowfield Adventure game scene, that is, as shown in step 201 above, in the Snowfield Adventure scene, multiple adventure events in the scene are executed.

[0074] 303. After the virtual character performs the Snowfield Travel event a specified number of times, the terminal unlocks the Natural Wilderness Travel option.

[0075] In this embodiment, the antenna exploration option is unlocked after the virtual character has experienced a specified number of snowfield exploration events. However, in some embodiments, it can be unlocked under other conditions, and this application does not limit this.

[0076] 304. In response to the consumption of virtual items corresponding to the Tianxian Travel option, the terminal opens the Tianxian Travel scene.

[0077] Unlocking can refer to a user controlling a virtual character to initiate the "Wandering the Wilderness" adventure, or it can mean that a user has permission to initiate the adventure based on virtual items. In the latter case, in response to the consumption of virtual items, the terminal can open the "Wandering the Wilderness" game scene, as shown in step 201 above. The user can control the target character's activities in the "Wandering the Wilderness" scene, such as moving and performing tasks. By performing tasks and interacting with other virtual characters, the user can obtain corresponding virtual items or virtual rewards.

[0078] 305. In response to a virtual character specifying a target virtual character in a dangerous adventure scenario, the terminal provides the virtual character with multiple plot events associated with the target virtual character.

[0079] In response to a virtual character encountering any target virtual character in a dangerous adventure scenario, an operation panel can be provided to the virtual character. The operation panel will prompt the virtual character whether to specify the target virtual character. If the virtual character specifies the target virtual character based on the operation panel, it means that the virtual character wants to travel with the target virtual character or establish a relationship. Then, multiple plot events related to the target virtual character can be provided to the virtual character.

[0080] These multiple plot events can be generated based on the target virtual character's background or other information. The content of these multiple plot events constitutes the target virtual character's background. For example, the multiple plot events, arranged in sequence, include the target virtual character's growth experience. Or, the multiple plot events are used to describe a part of the target virtual character's background. These multiple plot events can form the entire content of the character's background, allowing users to understand the target virtual character through these multiple plot events. This ensures that the content is consistent in its presentation and arouses the user's desire to explore, greatly enhancing user engagement and ensuring user retention.

[0081] For any of the above-mentioned travel scenarios, after the virtual character completes a travel event, a continue button, such as a "next stop" button, can be provided to guide the virtual character to trigger the next travel event. It is understood that travel events can be triggered based on the consumption of virtual items, and different travel events can correspond to different virtual items. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0082] 306. In response to the completion of any plot event by the virtual character, the terminal provides the virtual character with the corresponding virtual reward.

[0083] The virtual rewards can include the target virtual character's affinity towards another virtual character or exclusive virtual items. Affinity is used to increase the target virtual character's affinity towards another virtual character. If the affinity reaches a target threshold, a preset relationship can be formed between the target virtual character and the other virtual character. Based on this preset relationship, the target virtual character can perform specific actions together with the target virtual character. For example, if the target virtual character's affinity towards another virtual character is greater than the target threshold, the target virtual character can return to the other virtual character's camp with them. Alternatively, the target virtual character can accompany another virtual character in performing a target task. This application does not limit the specifics of this. Exclusive virtual items can be used to enhance the target virtual character or the other virtual character's abilities, thereby enabling them to perform tasks in a second game scenario or other game scenarios. The aforementioned affinity can be understood as being used for recruiting the target virtual character, i.e., the expert, while exclusive virtual items can be understood as being used for training the target virtual character, i.e., the expert, to improve their performance in the game scenario.

[0084] In some embodiments, the aforementioned travel events, such as the first travel event or the second travel event, can each have multiple quality levels. The higher the quality level, the lower the probability of triggering the event, and the more valuable the virtual rewards obtained after executing the event. For example, the multiple event types may include the following types: (1) Dialogue events: After the event is triggered, the virtual character controlled by the user will engage in dialogue with the NPC. (2) Wilderness battle events: After the event is triggered, the virtual character controlled by the user will engage in a wilderness battle with the NPC. (3) Arena battle events: After the event is triggered, the virtual character controlled by the user will engage in an arena battle with the NPC. (4) Mini-game events: Including rock-paper-scissors, defeating the mischievous snowman, and spinning a lottery wheel. The trigger probability corresponding to the above event types can be preset based on the server, and this embodiment of the application does not limit this.

[0085] As for the first and second game scenarios mentioned above, that is, Figure 3 In the examples of Snowfield Adventure and Perilous Journey Adventure shown in the embodiments, the adventure events provided by Snowfield Adventure can include general adventure events and adventure events associated with the target virtual character. In Snowfield Adventure, the trigger probability of general adventure events can be set to be relatively high, while the trigger probability of adventure events associated with the target virtual character can be set to be relatively low, thereby improving the game experience. In Perilous Journey Adventure, adventure events associated with the target virtual character can only be triggered after the target virtual character is specified. After specifying the target virtual character, multiple story events for that target character will be provided in Perilous Journey Adventure.

[0086] Of course, during the aforementioned exploration event, the virtual character can exit at any time and save the progress of the exploration event for other operations. It can also continue exploring based on the saved progress after returning to the game scene; this embodiment does not limit this. For example, if a user's city is attacked by other players, the user can control the virtual character to exit the exploration event and return to the city to perform defensive operations.

[0087] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an event execution device in a game scene provided in an embodiment of this application. See also... Figure 4 The device includes:
