An information processing method, including: at a first gaming terminal that corresponds to a first game player in a game: displaying a first game scene from a first viewing perspective corresponding to the first game player; displaying, concurrently with the first game scene, a character selection area that is distinct from the first game scene, including displaying, within the character selection area, respective avatars corresponding a first subset of the plurality of game characters that are currently eligible targets of a first game operation associated with the first game player; detecting a selection input directed to at least a first avatar in the character selection area that corresponds to a first game character of the first subset of the plurality of game characters; and in response to detecting the selection input, selecting the first game character in the first game scene as a target of the first game operation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a program product for causing a user terminal to realize functions to control progress of a video game is provided. The functions include: an experience value giving function configured to give an experience value to an object on the basis of a result of an event that occurs in accordance with progress of the video game; a managing function configured to manage a level of the object on the basis of the given experience value; and a privilege giving function configured to give a privilege to the object on the basis of an experience value that has been given and exceeds a value required to reach an upper limit of the level.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium stores game program code instructions for a game in which users do battle, and the game program code instructions cause a computer to perform a data storage function of storing a first panel data that includes a plurality of panels associated with the first user to a storage unit; a control function of receiving information regarding a selection by the first user, the selection being for one or more panels indicating characters to be disposed in one or more divisions of a game display screen including a display region formed by the divisions; the data storage function further stores the panel associated with information of motion to the storage unit, and the control function transmits information for displaying the panel as a moving character according to the information of motion associated with the panel when the panel is disposed in a target division.

There is provided a game device for providing a play experience of a first game in which a first-type game element appears, the game device including a performing unit, an operation unit, a communication unit, and a control unit. The performing unit performs a process concerning the first game. The operation unit accepts an input operation for an operation target game element that is the first-type game element appearing in the first game. The communication unit is configured so as to be capable of transmitting and receiving information concerning the operation target game element between the game device and a same-type game device and between the game device and a first communication terminal capable of providing a play experience of a second game using the first-type game element. The control unit controls the communication unit.

Provided is a game system that is capable of suppressing time needed to share or exchange opinions between users in a game. This game system provides a quiz game that is played by eight users simultaneously. Furthermore, in a information share phase of the quiz game, the game system gives, via a game screen for selecting a region, a selection opportunity that is shared by the eight users such that eight selected regions corresponding to the eight users are selected individually by them from three region images of an enemy character image, and provides, in there, selection status information relating to the eight selected regions. Then, in a battle phase which follows the information share phase, the game system gives, based on the selection result in the information share phase, changes corresponding to the eight selected regions to the quiz game such that user characters attack the selected regions.

A reactive emitter associated with an object in a video game emits an asset in response to a secondary effect of an activity that occurs in the video game within a vicinity of the object.

Provided is an information processing program for causing a computer to realize: a game execution unit (113) that consumes a first parameter to execute a first game in the case where it is determined on the basis of the first parameter that it is possible to execute the first game; a first recovery unit (115) that recovers the first parameter up to a first recovery upper-limit value as time elapses; a second recovery unit (117) that recovers a second parameter, which is different from the first parameter, up to a second recovery upper-limit value as time elapses; and an instructed recovery unit (119) that, in the case where an instruction from a player is accepted, consumes the second parameter using a second parameter consumption amount based on the current amount of the second parameter and recovers the first parameter on the basis of the consumption amount. This makes it possible to provide a game with which the motivation of the player to participate in the game and to continue the game can be enhanced.

The disclosure relates to systems and methods for altering perception of virtual or game content in a virtual space based on one or more attribute levels. The perception of some virtual or game content may not be altered. Thus, the depiction of some content is altered while other content is not. A system may alter the depiction of game content based on attributes of an entity and/or based on which entity is to perceive the game content. The different depictions of game content may be provided to the same entity at different times and/or different perceptions of game content may be provided to different entities. Thus, a rich interface may be provided that differentially depicts game content based on attribute levels and/or the entity that is to perceive the game content.

A storefront may displayed in a dashboard display of a game system. The storefront may allow for procuring of ability to play video games on the game system. The storefront may be dynamically displayed, or not displayed, based on monitored conditions relating to a game player's actions relating to video games.

The present disclosure provides a game character behavior control method. The method includes obtaining current game state information of a game, and performing feature extraction on the current game state information to obtain first feature information that reflects parameters of game characters of opposing parties in the game; constructing second feature information associated with a target game character, the second feature information reflecting the first feature information and features of target state information associated with target game character in the current game state information, the target game character being game characters controlled by game logic; performing classification on the second feature information to obtain action probability distribution associated with the target game characters; determining target behavior information based on an action probability distribution and target state information associated with the target game character; and controlling the target game character to perform actions corresponding to the target behavior information.
