Provided is the game device which sets the designated object from among the objects arranged in the game space as an object in the holding state, performs control for arranging the object set in the holding state at the predetermined position in the game space, and/or displays information of the object set in the holding state at a predetermined position on the game image. When the predetermined condition is satisfied, the game device releases the holding state of the object set to be in the holding state by the holding controller and causes the object to perform the predetermined operation.

Methods and systems for spectating a live video game are presented. In one embodiment, a method for performing an automated catch-up to a player is provided. The method includes providing an interface for presenting a first view of a video game on a client device where the first view has a first vantage point and includes a game player. The method includes an operation for providing a portal within the interface for presenting a second view of the game object, the second view having a second vantage point. The method further includes an operation for moving the second vantage point toward the game object within the portal. Additionally, the method provides an operation for removing the portal.

An example information processing apparatus disposes a flat ground representing a terrain, and an object on the ground, in a virtual space, and performs coordinate conversion on each of vertices of the flat ground and the object on the ground, based on a deformation parameter, so as to change the entire terrain into a drum shape. Thereafter, the information processing apparatus renders an image of the virtual space including the terrain deformed into the drum shape.

A method for generating broadcasts including receiving game state data and user data of players participating in a gaming session of a video game. A spectator zone-of-interest in the gaming session is identified having a scene of a virtual gaming world that is viewable from camera perspectives in the virtual gaming world. Statistics and facts are generated for the gaming session based on the game state data and the user data using a first AI model trained to isolate game state data and user data that are of interest by spectators. Narration is generated for the scene using a second AI model configured to select statistics and facts from the statistics and facts generated using the first AI model, the selected statistics and facts having a highest potential spectator interest as determined by the second AI model configured to generate the narration using the selected statistics and facts.

A non-transitory storage medium according to the present disclosure is a storage medium storing therein a program that is readable by a computer of an information processing apparatus, the program that is configured to cause the computer to function as: a first object display unit configured to display a player object in a first display mode in a first game space; a first object control unit configured to perform three-dimensional control for causing the player object displayed in the first display mode to perform three-dimensional movement in the first game space based on an operation performed by a user; an option generation unit configured to generate an image for allowing the user to, from among options respectively corresponding to a plurality of second game spaces, select one of the second game spaces as a selected game space.

To provide a game program of high interest is an object.

Switching between a manual control and an automatic control of a first player character. Performing an automatic control of a second player character acting as an ally of the first player character. The automatic control of the first player character is executed based on different action setting from the automatic control of the second player character.

This application discloses a virtual unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control method and apparatus, a storage medium, and an electronic device. The UAV control method includes: displaying, in a currently running one-round interactive task in a target interactive application, an interactive picture within a field of view of a first virtual operation object; calling, in response to a virtual UAV of the first virtual operation object being in a target state, the virtual UAV in the target interactive application in response to a first target operation; and displaying, in the target interactive application, an interactive picture within a field of view of the virtual UAV.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed, causes a computer to execute a process of a game program, is provided. The process includes a step (a) of setting a default position of a virtual camera; a step (b) of calculating an outer edge of multiple objects arranged in a given region in the virtual space; a step (c) of determining a target position in an interior of the outer edge, to which the virtual camera is directed; a step (d) of adjusting a height of the virtual camera at the default position so as to display all of the plurality of objects in the region when the virtual camera is directed from the default position to the target position; and a step (e) of operating the virtual camera to be directed to the target position from the adjusted height of the default position.
