Abstract: An example of an information processing system sets a target range in a virtual space when a predetermined event occurs based on a game process. In a rendering process of rendering the virtual space, the information processing system renders a portion of at least some terrain objects in the virtual space included in the target range while reflecting a light source set in the virtual space, and render a portion thereof not included in the target range in a predetermined color or with reduced brightness.

Abstract: When a predetermined event occurs based on a game process, an example of an information processing system transitions from a first state to a second state a location that is associated with the event having occurred, from among a plurality of locations that are set in the virtual space. The information processing system identifies an area at least including a location that is in the second state from among the plurality of locations; and renders a portion of at least some terrain objects not included in a target range that includes at least a part of the area in a predetermined color or so as to be darker as compared with a portion included in the target range. A map image is displayed showing field information of the virtual space, wherein field information of a portion corresponding to the area is shown.

Abstract: An example of an information processing apparatus performs, in a virtual space including at least a player character and a terrain object, a control of moving the player character on the terrain object, based on an operation input performed by a player. If it is at least satisfied that the terrain object serving as a ceiling is present above the player character and that a destination, on the terrain object, at which the player character is placeable is present above the ceiling located above the player character, the information processing apparatus moves the player character to the destination, based on an operation input performed by the player.

Abstract: Movement control of a player character in a virtual space is performed based on a user's operation input. When it is determined that an impact has been applied to a first object in the virtual space, the first object, or a second object instead of the first object, is installed on a terrain object related to a location where the impact has been applied to the first object, and lighting is set in the virtual space such that a range around the location where the first or second object is installed is lighter than before the installation.

Abstract: Movement control of a player character in a field in a virtual space is performed based on a user's operation input. At least one first type of object is disposed in the field. Lightness for the first type of object is set such that the first type of object is visually recognized even when the field is dark. When the player character satisfies a first condition at a location where one of the at least one first type of object is disposed, lighting is set in the virtual space such that a range in the field including the location is lighter than before the first condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A non-limiting example game system includes a game apparatus, and a terminal device and a television are connected to the game apparatus. A game image that is displayed on the television is an image that various kinds of objects arranged in a virtual space are imaged by a virtual camera. The virtual camera follows a player object so as to keep a predetermined distance with the player object, and when the player object enters a grassland object with comparatively long length, for example, each grass object is deformed or moved so as to go away from the virtual camera. For example, a height of the grass object near the virtual camera is made comparatively low, and the height is gradually made high as it separates from the virtual camera.

Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, methods and compositions for treating muscular dystrophy, in particular. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). In some embodiments, a method according to the present invention includes administering to an individual who is suffering from or susceptible to DMD an effective amount of an anti-Flt-1 antibody, or antigen binding fragment thereof, such that at least one symptom or feature of DMD is reduced in intensity, severity, or frequency, or has delayed onset.

Abstract: A computer system is provided that stores data for a plurality of virtual objects and elements that are positioned within a virtual space. Each of the virtual objects can adopt different states depending on which elements are determined to have collided with the virtual objects. Once it is determined that an object is collided with an element a further determination is made as to whether that element effects the virtual object. If the element does affect the virtual object, then the state for that object is updated. Further, a new element is then generated based on this change in state of the virtual object.
