  • Publication number: 20210129027
    Abstract: There are provided a game program and a game system for achieving a game in which, even when it is difficult to determine the location of an enemy character while searching for the enemy character in a virtual game space, it is not too difficult to find the enemy character. A game program 30a causes a CPU 10 to function as a virtual-space generating unit 40, a character control unit 42, a trace generating unit 43 that generates a trace of a non-player character and locates it in the virtual game space, a point managing unit 45 that manages a trace point obtained when a trace located in the virtual game space is collected, and a guidance executing unit 47 that performs the guidance regarding the non-player character to the user when an accumulated value Vs of the trace points reaches a predetermined threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20190262714
    Abstract: The game system includes a storage unit and a control unit. The control unit includes: a virtual space generating unit that generates a virtual space; a first character control unit that controls action of a first character moving in the virtual space; a second character control unit that controls action of a second character moving in the virtual space; a trace position storing unit that sequentially stores, in the storage unit, positions of the first character in the virtual space as trace positions at predetermined time intervals; and a chase processing unit that executes chasing of the first character by the second character based on the trace positions stored in the storage unit.
