  • Publication number: 20180361246
    Abstract: PROBLEM To appropriately produce a sound effect caused by an action of an object when the object is made to perform an action such as jogging. SOLUTION An object is made to perform an action in which two or more sets of motion data are blended, each one of two or more sets of sequence data associated with two or more motion data are switched depending on a blend condition, and an effect is produced with reference to the switched sequence data. Also, cumulative number of times of produced effects in a correction period before the switch of the sequence data is counted. No effect is produced in the correction period after the switch if a predetermined number of times of effects has produced before the switch, and a predetermined number of times of effects is produced in the correction period after the switch if a predetermined number of times of effects have not produced before the switch.
