A first game process that proceeds independently of a second game process related to opponents for a user is performed. State data indicating a second game state of the second game process related to each of a plurality of the opponents is sequentially acquired, and a display image including a first image reflecting a first game state of the first game process and a plurality of second images reflecting the second game states indicated by the state data is sequentially generated. At least one policy is selected on the basis of an operation by the user, a target is specified from among the plurality of the opponents on the basis of the selected policy, and an instruction that changes a game state of the target is made if a game state of the user satisfies a predetermined condition.

A method including rendering a view of a virtual environment of a video game for display in a head mounted display of a user, wherein the virtual environment includes a plurality of objects. The method including tracking gaze of the user. The method including detecting that the gaze of the user is directed towards an object in the view for a period of time. The method including generating a heads up display (HUD) interface including information related to the object. The method including surfacing the HUD interface near the object in the view of the virtual environment.

A system and method for precise positioning of items such as communication pings in a map of a multiplayer game with touchscreen gestures. Specifically, the method can include displaying a dynamic image or map on a touchscreen and receiving a touch gesture thereon. The touch gesture can begin at a tool selection icon and end at a release location within the map. Then the method can include, in response to the touch gesture, displaying a precision placement tool that depicts a portion of the map obscured by the received touch gesture. The depiction can be an enlarged depiction of the obscured portion and is displayed outside of the obscured portion. Finally, the method can include displaying a change to the map at the release location when the touch gesture ends. Specifically, at the release location, items such as communication pings can be placed onto the map.
