Abstract

The present invention provides a computer program that is capable of changing a predetermined rule for associating progress with a change in a predetermined type of parameter after starting growing of a growing object. A computer program (PG2) causes a control unit (31) (computer) to function as the following means, the control unit (31) being incorporated into the game machine (3) that provides a growing game for growing a growing character via each training in accordance with a predetermined distribution rate (rule) that associates each training for growing the growing character with a change in a predetermined type of parameter of the growing character. That is to say, the computer program (PG2) causes the control unit (31) to function as a means for changing the distribution rate, such that when a change condition is satisfied during the growing of the growing character, the type of the predetermined type of parameter of the condition-satisfying training is changed, and causing the growing character to execute the training so as to be associated with the change in the predetermined type of parameter after the change, in accordance with the distribution rate after the change.

Abstract

In the present invention, a display control unit captures an image of a surface of a spherical body with a virtual camera, and generates a main image in which a part of the surface of the spherical body is set as a display range. An operation detection unit detects a user operation as information on a two-dimensional vector. A display range changing unit changes the display range on the basis of the user operation through rotation of the solid with respect to the virtual camera. A first rotation unit rotates the spherical body on the basis of a first component of the two-dimensional vector, with a first axis connecting a specific point and the spherical body center as a rotation axis. A second rotation unit sets a pitch axis viewed from the virtual camera as a second axis not fixed to the spherical body, and rotates the spherical body in a pitch direction with respect to the virtual camera with the second axis as a rotation axis, on the basis of a second component of the two-dimensional vector. Rotation of the spherical body is limited to rotation by the first axis or the second axis.

Provided is a game system capable of using some of the characters in a group, which has been developed in a group development part, in a part separate from the group development part. A game machine (3) (the game system) provides a baseball game including a group development mode for developing a high school club team (HT) in units of the club team (HT). In addition, if a player on the club team (HT) graduates, the game machine (3) changes a to-be-developed object to a different next-generation club team (HT) in which the graduated player is replaced with a newly enrolled student, and if the graduated player includes a player who becomes a professional player (DC), a block on the use of that professional player (DC) is lifted in a tower mode which is separate from the group development mode.

Abstract

The present invention provides a game system that can utilize a game screen generated through play by each player as an advertisement material. A game machine (game system) is connected via a network to an advertisement distribution system that distributes an advertisement to a plurality of advertisement display devices and provides each player with a game that progresses on a series of game screens according to a play situation generated according to a play action of each player. Moreover, the game machine discriminates a specific game screen that satisfies an advertisement condition from among the series of game screens in the play of each player, generates display data for displaying the specific game screen, and transmits the generated display data to the advertisement delivery system so that a game advertisement including the specific game screen as the advertisement material is distributed as the advertisement.

Abstract

According to the present invention, an individual instruction acceptance unit accepts an instruction for an action individually with respect to each of a plurality of characters to be operated, on the basis of an operation by a user. When the individual instruction acceptance unit accepts an instruction for an action with respect to some characters to be operated among the plurality of characters to be operated, an automatic instruction unit automatically provides at least one character to be operated other than the some characters to be operated with an instruction for a related action related to the action according to a game situation.

Abstract

In a competitive game between attacker and a defender, and each character associated with each attacker is movable over a game space created by the defender, based on operations by an attacker. An attacker operating a character acquires a specific object in the game space due to the character having reached the specific object. A winning condition for the attacker acquired the specific object is satisfied and a competitive play is ended for the attacker acquired the specific object, while continuing other competitive plays for the other attackers. A winning condition for the defender is satisfied and ending the competitive play for all of the defender and the attackers in case that the specific objects that remain not yet acquired by the attackers has not yet reached a predetermined status until a predetermined time elapses from start of the competitive play.

Abstract

According to the present invention, a gaze direction identification unit identifies a gaze direction that is a user gaze direction with respect to a VR space. An image generation unit disposes a plurality of images, which are captured by a plurality of cameras of which image-capturing directions in which images of the real space are captured are different, in the VR space so that an overlap area in which portions of visual field areas of adjacent captured images overlap is generated, and generates a VR image according to the gaze direction. In addition, the image generation unit dynamically switches, on the basis of the gaze direction, the captured images to be displayed in the overlap area among the adjacent captured images.

Abstract

An acquirer acquires touch location information indicating a touch location on a touch panel. A designator designates the moving direction of an object in the game space based on the touch location information. In a case in which there are multiple paths in which the object is movable in a game space, a predictor predicts, from among the multiple paths, a path in which the object will be moving, based on the moving direction designated by the designator and a shape of an environment that restricts movement of the object in the game space. The display controller displays an image indicating a prediction result by the predictor in the game space.

Abstract

The present invention provides a game system that can utilize a game screen generated through play by each player as an advertisement material. A game machine (game system) (3) is connected through a network (NT) to an advertisement delivery system (3) that delivers an advertisement to a plurality of advertisement display devices (4) and provides each player with a game that progresses through a series of game screens (50) depending on a gameplay situation that occurs in response to a play action of each player. Moreover, the game machine (3) distinguishes a specific game screen (50) that satisfies an advertisement condition from among the series of game screens (50) in the play of each player, generates display data (DD) for displaying the specific game screen (50), and transmits the generated display data (DD) to the advertisement delivery system (30) so that a game advertisement (60) containing the specific game screen (50) as the advertisement material is delivered as the advertisement.
