Abstract

A game processing system according to an aspect is a game processing system for processing a game having a first mode and a second mode, the system comprising: a storage storing a game parameter relating to the game; and one or more computer processors. The one or more computer processors execute computer-readable instructions to: provide, in the first mode, an interaction with a virtual character in accordance with first detection information obtained by an information processing device not mounted on a head of a player; provide, in the second mode, an interaction with the virtual character in accordance with second detection information obtained by a head mounted display mounted on the head of the player; and update the game parameter in accordance with progress of the game in the first mode and the second mode.

Claims (47)

1. A game processing system for processing a game in a virtual space, the game having a first mode and a second mode, the system comprising:

one or more processors;

a storage accessed by the one or more processors and storing at least one first mode parameter used in the first mode and at least one second mode parameter used in the second mode; and

an information processing device including at least a part of the one or more processors,

wherein the one or more processors execute computer-readable instructions to:

perform, in the first mode, processing related to the game in accordance with first detection information related to an action of a player obtained by the information processing device not mounted on a head of the player;

perform, in the second mode, processing related to the game in accordance with second detection information related to an action of the player obtained by a head mounted display mounted on the head of the player;

update the at least one first mode parameter in accordance with progress of the game in the first mode; and

update the at least one second mode parameter when the at least one first mode parameter is updated, and

wherein the at least one second mode parameter is further updated in accordance with progress of the game in the second mode.

2. The game processing system of claim 1 , wherein the virtual space contains a virtual character that is a non-player character.

3. The game processing system of claim 2 ,

wherein a same common item is used in the first mode and the second mode, and

wherein in the second mode, the common item is used by the virtual character.

4. The game processing system of claim 2 , wherein the game is adapted to provide interaction with the virtual character.

5. The game processing system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one first mode parameter and/or the at least one second mode parameter is associated with interaction with the virtual character in the game.

6. The game processing system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first mode parameter is a same type of parameter as the at least one second mode parameter.

7. The game processing system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first mode parameter is a different type of parameter than the at least one second mode parameter.

8. The game processing system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors update the at least one first mode parameter when the at least one second mode parameter is updated.

9. The game processing system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one second mode parameter is updated to rise when the at least one first mode parameter has risen in the first mode.

10. The game processing system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first mode parameter is updated to rise when the at least one second mode parameter has risen in the second mode.

11. The game processing system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least one first mode parameter and the at least one second mode parameter is changed in at least one of a case where the game is switched from the first mode to the second mode and a case where the game is switched from the second mode to the first mode.

12. The game processing system of claim 1 , wherein a same common item is used in the first mode and the second mode.

13. The game processing system of claim 12 ,

wherein the common item has an item parameter set thereto, and

wherein in a case where the game is switched from the first mode to the second mode, the common item having the item parameter changed in the first mode is used in the second mode.

14. The game processing system of claim 12 ,

wherein the common item has an item parameter set thereto, and

wherein the item parameter is changed in at least one of a case where the game is switched from the first mode to the second mode and a case where the game is switched from the second mode to the first mode.

15. The game processing system of claim 1 , wherein the game progresses in accordance with the at least one first mode parameter and/or the at least one second mode parameter.

16. The game processing system of claim 1 , wherein a mode switching process is performed for switching either (i) from the first mode to the second mode responsive to determining that a first switch condition is satisfied in the first mode or (ii) from the second mode to the first mode responsive to determining that a second switch condition is satisfied in the second mode.

17. The game processing system of claim 1 , wherein a switch process image is displayed on the information processing device upon the mode switching process being initiated.

18. The game processing system of claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one first parameter includes a plurality of first mode parameters, and

wherein the at least one second parameter is updated when at least one of the plurality of first mode parameters is updated.

19. A method of processing a game in a virtual space, the game having a first mode and a second mode, the game being processed by one or more computer processors executing computer-readable instructions, the method comprising:

performing, in the first mode, processing related to the game in accordance with first detection information related to an action of a player obtained by an information processing device not mounted on a head of the player;

performing, in the second mode, processing related to the game in accordance with second detection information related to an action of the player obtained by a head mounted display mounted on the head of the player;

updating at least one first mode parameter used in the first mode in accordance with progress of the game in the first mode;

updating at least one second mode parameter used in the second mode when the at least one first mode parameter is updated, and

further updating the at least one second mode parameter in accordance with progress of the game in the second mode.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a game program for processing a game in a virtual space, the game having a first mode and a second mode, the game program causing one or more computer processors to:

perform, in the first mode, processing related to the game in accordance with first detection information related to an action of a player obtained by an information processing device not mounted on a head of the player;

perform, in the second mode, processing related to the game in accordance with second detection information related to an action of the player obtained by a head mounted display mounted on the head of the player;

update at least one first mode parameter used in the first mode in accordance with progress of the game in the first mode;

update at least one second mode parameter used in the second mode when the at least one first mode parameter is updated; and

further update the at least one second mode parameter in accordance with progress of the game in the second mode.
