A computer system performs, with a player operating a player character as a target player, an individual evaluation of gameplay of the target player for each stat item based on motion content or a motion result of the player character during a game. The computer system further performs an overall evaluation of each stat item based on a result of the individual evaluation of each stat item of each player. The computer system further controls comparison display of the result of the individual evaluation of each stat item of the target player and a result of the overall evaluation.

A game is provided that enables a game element to be raised through an intuitive operation input. A game device includes components collectively configured to: execute processing related to the raising game; display the game element; accept an operation input related to raising of the game element; manage the raising phases of the game element; and determine, when a condition for changing from a first raising phase to a second raising phase in the raising game is satisfied, one of branched growing states of the game element related to the second raising phase, in accordance with an operation input related to the raising performed prior to satisfaction of the change condition. The operation input related to the raising includes a first operation input not involving selection of a selection item related to the raising.

Systems and methods for generating characters for a gaming platform based on inheriting characteristics from other characters are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: store, in electronic storage, a set of character definitions that define visual representations of individual characters that can operate and interact within the gaming platform; present a user interface to a first player on a first client computing platform associated with the first player; receive user input from the first player; generate a new character definition based on the first character definition and the second character definition; and present the new character on the user interface.

Systems and methods of conducting a fantasy sport contest are disclosed. According to some embodiments, the fantasy sport contest is provided for participants to join. The fantasy sport contest includes one or more fantasy teams where each fantasy team includes a multiplicity of real-life players. A player adjustment value (PAV) is determined for each of the real-life players. Accumulated statistics of the real-life player during real-life games are converted into a baseline fantasy score according to a baseline scoring system. The baseline fantasy score is adjusted according to the real-life player's PAV to produce an adjusted fantasy score of the real-life player.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having recorded therein a program executed by a processor of a server apparatus, the program causing the processor to: receive a first user's input for a competitive video game that uses (i) card objects of the first user of a first terminal apparatus, and (ii) enemy card objects of a second user of a second terminal apparatus; place, on a first deck zone, a first type card object of the first user, place, on a second deck zone, a second type card object and a third type card object; in response to a first user's input; allow the first type card object to be placed on a first area on which placement of the enemy card objects is not allowed; allow the second type card object placed on the second deck zone to be placed on a second area on which placement of at least one of the enemy card objects is allowed; and allow the third type object card placed on the second deck zone to be placed on the first area or the second area.

A method of controlling at least a first non-player object within a virtual environment of an application includes: selecting a template non-player object behavioural AI model, the AI model being previously trained separately to the application using reinforcement learning to characterise behaviour of a respective non-player object type, from among a plurality of template AI models, associating one or more non-player objects of the application with the selected template AI model, and for the or each associated non-player object, inputting application state information to an input interface of the template AI model for receiving state information relevant to the associated non-player object's type, and receiving from an output interface of the template AI model non-player object state information, and then updating the state of the respective non-player object for the virtual environment of the application responsive to the received non-player object state information.

A video game may include a virtual representation of a game player created object. The game player created object may be imaged by an imaging device of a smartphone, with the smartphone determining a virtual representation for use in the video game based on information of the image. In some embodiments the game player may control the virtual representation during game play.

In some embodiments the game player created object may be an origami object.

An information processing device includes: a control means for causing the player to acquire a content in response to a game execution instruction from the player; an extraction means for extracting content groups of the same type from contents possessed by the player, according to an instruction from the player; a selection means for automatically selecting fusion source contents and resource contents from each of the extracted content groups; and a fusion means for collectively fusing, for each of the fusion source contents, one of the resource contents of the same type as the each of the fusion source contents. The selection means selects, as the resource contents, contents having a rarity at or below a specific level, from each of the extracted content groups.
