Storage medium, information processing system, information processing apparatus and information processing method
An example of an information processing system causes a player object to exit a game stage at least when the player object satisfies an exit condition as a result of an attack by an enemy object. After the player object exits from the game stage, (a) when a first condition is satisfied, the information processing system returns the player object based on a designated position that is specified by a return input of a first type, which is a position in a first area of the game stage, and (b) when a second condition different from the first condition is satisfied, the information processing system returns the player object based on a designated position that is specified by a return input of a second type, which is a position of a movement target object arranged on the game stage.
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having stored therein a program that, when executed, cause one or more processors to execute information processing comprising:
controlling a movement of a player object on a game stage in a three-dimensional space based on a first operation input by a player;
causing a virtual camera to follow the movement of the player object in the three-dimensional space;
causing the player object to exit from the game stage at least based on satisfaction of an exit condition for the player object as a result of an attack by an enemy object;
setting a first area in the game stage in response to a predetermined action by the player object;
setting a second area in the game stage in response to a predetermined action by the enemy object;
moving the virtual camera to a bird's-eye position where the game stage is viewed from above based on the exit of the player object from the game stage; and
returning the player object having exited to a position specified based on a second operation input by a user in the game stage, wherein
the movement of the player object in the first area is more advantageous than the movement of the player object in the second area.
2. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 1 , wherein the player object is configured to make a first movement and a second movement in which the player object moves faster than in the first movement in the first area.
3. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 2 , wherein the player object makes a third movement slower than in the first movement in the second area.
4. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 2 , wherein:
the enemy object is configured to make a fourth movement and a fifth movement in which the enemy object moves faster than in the fourth movement in the second area; and
the enemy object makes a sixth movement slower than in the fourth movement in the first area.
5. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 1 , wherein the player object returns in accordance with a lapse of a predetermined time after the player object exits from the game stage.
6. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 5 , wherein the player object returns under a condition that a third operation input is provided by the player before the predetermined time elapses after the player object exits from the game stage.
7. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 1 , wherein the player object returns by arranging the player object having exited from the game stage at a stand-by position different from a position on the game stage.
8. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 7 , wherein an action of the player object returning to the game stage is an action different from a move action of the player object on the game stage.
9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 8 , wherein the returning includes changing a moving direction of the player object based on an input by the player while the player object returns to the game stage.
10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 7 , wherein the stand-by position is a position where the player object is not attacked by another object.
11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media according to claim 7 , wherein the stand-by position is a position where the player object is prohibited from attacking another object.
12. An information processing system, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory configured to store computer readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the information processing system to:
control a movement of a player object on a game stage in a three-dimensional space based on a first operation input by a player;
cause a virtual camera to follow the movement of the player object in the three-dimensional space;
cause the player object to exit from the game stage at least based on satisfaction of an exit condition for the player object as a result of an attack by an enemy object;
set a first area in the game stage in response to a predetermined action by the player object;
set a second area in the game stage in response to a predetermined action by the enemy object;
move the virtual camera to a bird's-eye position where the game stage is viewed from above based on the exit of the player object from the game stage; and
return the player object having exited to a position specified based on a second operation input by a user in the game stage, wherein
the movement of the player object in the first area is more advantageous than the movement of the player object in the second area.
13. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
an input portion configured to process operation inputs performed by a player; and
processing circuitry including at least one processor, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
control a movement of a player object on a game stage in a three-dimensional space based on a first operation input by the player;
cause a virtual camera to follow the movement of the player object in the three-dimensional space;
cause the player object to exit from the game stage at least based on satisfaction of an exit condition for the player object as a result of an attack by an enemy object;
set a first area in the game stage in response to a predetermined action by the player object;
set a second area in the game stage in response to a predetermined action by the enemy object;
move the virtual camera to a bird's-eye position where the game stage is viewed from above based on the exit of the player object from the game stage; and
return the player object having exited to a position specified based on a second operation input by a user in the game stage, wherein
the movement of the player object in the first area is more advantageous than the movement of the player object in the second area.
14. An information processing method executed by an information processing system, the information processing method comprising:
controlling a movement of a player object on a game stage in a three-dimensional space based on a first operation input by a player;
causing a virtual camera to follow the movement of the player object in the three-dimensional space;
causing the player object to exit from the game stage at least based on satisfaction of an exit condition for the player object as a result of an attack by an enemy object;
setting a first area in the game stage in response to a predetermined action by the player object;
setting a second area in the game stage in response to a predetermined action by the enemy object;
moving the virtual camera to a bird's-eye position where the game stage is viewed from above based on the exit of the player object from the game stage; and
returning the player object having exited to a position specified based on a second operation input by a user in the game stage, wherein
the movement of the player object in the first area is more advantageous than the movement of the player object in the second area.
