Abstract: A game management device manages a game to be played by selecting with a touch operation, a selectable target from a plurality of selectable targets (for example, pitch types) displayed on a screen. A display control unit display the plurality of selectable targets (for example, a strike pitch location and a ball pitch location) on the screen. An area setting unit sets a plurality of parameter areas respectively corresponding to the plurality of parameters (for example, a strike location and a ball location) within the screen. When performing an operation of moving a selected target to one of the plurality of parameter areas, a parameter setting unit sets a parameter corresponding to the parameter area to which the selected target is moved, the selected target being selected from among the plurality of selectable targets with the contact operation.

Abstract: A game device controls a game in which an action is applied to a movable object. A prediction accepting unit accepts a prediction made by a user on a movement parameter of the movable object when a predetermined operation of making a prediction is performed by the user. A moving unit decides the movement parameter of the movable object. A determination unit determines a result of the prediction made by the user based on movement parameters respectively predicted by the user and decided by the moving unit. A display control unit displays an arrival point area indicating an expected arrival position of the movable object in an active area in which the action can be applied to the movable object, and changes a size of the arrival point area based on a result of determination by the determination unit.

Abstract: A game device for controlling a game in which a function is applied to a movable object by moving an aiming cursor to be superimposed on the movable object, includes a cursor moving unit for moving the aiming cursor according to a user's operation; a specific region setting unit for setting a specific region on a screen, in which the aiming cursor is movable; a cursor within region setting unit for setting a size of the aiming cursor within the specific region so as to change the size of the aiming cursor according to a location within the specific region; and a specific region moving unit for moving the specific region according to a user's operation before a movement of the movable object is started.

Abstract: Provided is a game device which sets a batter parameter of a batter character in relation to the batting of that batter character, and sets a first range where a ball-meeting cursor is positioned at the center, and moreover displaces and vibrates the ball-meeting cursor within the first range based on the batter parameter.

Abstract: A manager evaluation value setting unit sets a manager evaluation value indicating a management ability of a manager character to manage player characters. A player evaluation value setting unit sets a player evaluation value used to evaluate the player character according to an ability value indicating an ability of the player character. An evaluation difference value calculating unit calculates an evaluation difference value indicating a difference between the manager evaluation value and the player evaluation value when the manager evaluation value is lower than the player evaluation value. A management ability setting unit changes the manager evaluation value to reduce the management ability of the manager character as the evaluation difference value increases.

Abstract: A game device which executes a baseball game where a batter character hits a ball object that is pitched by a pitcher character stores, for each batter character, first evaluation information showing an evaluation of battering power in each segment showing a region within a strike zone, and displays the region of the strike zone corresponding to respective segments after increasing transparency, as divergence from the first reference data of the first evaluation information increases, based on the first evaluation information of the batter character at bat.

Abstract: The present invention is related to controlling a video game in which ability of a game character is adjusted on the basis of events in the video game. For example, in a baseball video game, if the game player operating a pitcher character keeps selecting a pitching trajectory that a batter character is bad at hitting the ball object, the extent that the batter character is bad at hitting the ball object in the pitching trajectory will be gradually reduced. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the pitcher character to make the batter character out. Accordingly, advantageous level for the pitcher character will be reduced. Therefore, imbalance of the baseball video game is to be solved between the pitcher character and the batter character.
