View Patent ↗In a first mode, an aiming direction in a virtual space is determined based on a second operation input, and a player character is caused to launch, in the aiming direction, an item that affects a field character disposed on a field in the virtual space, based on a third operation input. In a second mode, the aiming direction is determined, based on the second operation input, and the player character is caused to launch, in the aiming direction, a fighting character that fights, based on the third operation input.
1. A method for game processing implemented via an information processing system having at least one processor, the method comprising:
generating data for display of a player character and a first virtual character disposed in a virtual space;
determining an aiming direction based on a direction input; and
in association with the player character performing a first game action:
generating data for display of a first aiming point associated with the aiming direction;
generating data for display of an indicator indicating a likelihood of success of the player character obtaining the first virtual character;
selecting an obtaining item, from a plurality of obtaining items, by performing a first operation input;
generating data for display of the player character launching, in the aiming direction, the obtaining item for obtaining the first virtual character in the virtual space, based on a second operation input;
determining obtaining of the first virtual character, by the player character, as successful in association with the obtaining item arriving within a vicinity of the first virtual character; and
generating data for display of setting the first virtual character as being in possession by the player character in association with determining the first virtual character as successfully obtained, and
in association with the player character performing a second game action:
generating data for display of a second aiming point associated with the aiming direction;
generating data for display of the player character launching, in the aiming direction, a first virtual object representing the obtained first virtual character, based on a third operation input; and
generating data for display of the first virtual character and a second virtual character starting fighting against each other in the virtual space.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein launching the obtaining item includes the player character throwing the obtaining item.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the virtual character is determined as successful in association with the obtaining item making contact with the virtual character in the virtual space.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first virtual character is a field character and the second virtual character is a fighting character.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a lock-on operation, for locking on to the first virtual character, is performed in association with the first aiming direction.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the likelihood of success corresponds to a health level of the first virtual character.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein health information is displayed in association with the first virtual character.
8. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory configured to store computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
generate data for display of a player character and a first virtual character disposed in a virtual space;
determine an aiming direction based on a direction input;
in association with the player character performing a first game action:
generate data for display of a first aiming point associated with the aiming direction;
generate data for display of an indicator indicating a likelihood of success of the player character obtaining the first virtual character;
select an obtaining item, from a plurality of obtaining items, by performing a first operation input;
generate data for display of the player character launching, in the aiming direction, the obtaining item for obtaining the first virtual character in the virtual space, based on a second operation input;
determine obtaining of the first virtual character, by the player character, as successful in association with, at least, the obtaining item arriving within a vicinity of the first virtual character; and
generate data for display of setting the first virtual character as being in possession by the player character in association with determining the first virtual character as successfully obtained, and
in association with the player character performing a second game action:
generate data for display of a second aiming point associated with the aiming direction;
generate data for display of the player character launching, in the aiming direction, a first virtual object representing the obtained first virtual character, based on a third operation input; and
generate data for display of the first virtual character and a second virtual character starting fighting against each other in the virtual space.
9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein a game program that, when executed by a computer of an information processing apparatus, causes the computer to perform operations comprising:
generating data for display of a player character and a first virtual character disposed in a virtual space;
determining an aiming direction based on a direction input; and
in association with the player character performing a first game action:
generating data for display of a first aiming point associated with the aiming direction;
generating data for display of an indicator indicating a likelihood of success of the player character obtaining the first virtual character;
selecting an obtaining item, from a plurality of obtaining items, by performing a first operation input;
generating data for display of the player character launching, in the aiming direction, the obtaining item for obtaining the first virtual character in the virtual space, based on a second operation input;
determining obtaining of the first virtual character, by the player character, as successful in association with the obtaining item arriving within a vicinity of the first virtual character; and
generating data for display of setting the first virtual character as being in possession by the player character in association with determining the first virtual character as successfully obtained, and
in association with the player character performing a second game action:
generating data for display of a second aiming point associated with the aiming direction;
generating data for display of the player character launching, in the aiming direction, a first virtual object representing the obtained first virtual character, based on a third operation input; and
generating data for display of the first virtual character and a second virtual character starting fighting against each other in the virtual space.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein launching the obtaining item includes the player character throwing the obtaining item.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein obtaining the virtual character is determined as successful in association with the obtaining item making contact with the virtual character in the virtual space.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the first virtual character is a field character and the second virtual character is a fighting character.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein a lock-on operation, for locking on to the first virtual character, is performed in association with the first aiming direction.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the likelihood of success corresponds to a health level of the first virtual character.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein health information is displayed in association with the first virtual character.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the virtual character is determined as successful in association with the obtaining item hitting the virtual character in the virtual space.
17. The system of claim 8 , wherein obtaining the virtual character is determined as successful in association with the obtaining item making contact with the virtual character in the virtual space.
18. The system of claim 8 , wherein a lock-on operation, for locking on to the first virtual character, is performed in association with the first aiming direction.
19. The system of claim 8 , wherein the likelihood of success corresponds to a health level of the first virtual character.
20. The system of claim 8 , wherein health information is displayed in association with the first virtual character.
