Systems and methods of controlling a character in a virtual space based on color

An information processing system comprising:

• a user input device configured to receive an operation input provided by a user;
• and
• at least one hardware processor that is configured to:
• cause an own character in a virtual space to perform painting action in the virtual space based on the operation input received by the operation input receiver, wherein the performed painting action includes painting a painting area in the virtual space in a corresponding color of the own character, and
• perform display control and/or first moving control of the own character as a result of determining that the own character is in an area painted in the corresponding color of the own character, wherein the performed display control and/or performed first moving control is different from when the own character is in an area not painted in the corresponding color of the own character.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• an operation input receiver configured to receive an operation input of a user;
• and
• at least one game progress processor that is configured to:
• cause an own character in a virtual space to perform painting action in the virtual space based on the operation input received by the operation input receiver to paint a painting area in the virtual space in a corresponding color of the own character, and
• when the own character is in an area painted in the corresponding color of the own character, perform a display control and/or a first moving control of the own character that is different from when the own character is in an area not painted in the corresponding color of the own character.

An information processing method that is performed on a computer system, the information processing comprising:

• receiving, via an input device, an operation input of a user;
• causing an own character in a virtual space to perform a painting action in the virtual space based on the operation input received by the operation input receiver, the painting action including painting a painting area in the virtual space in a corresponding color of the own character;
• and
• when the own character is in an area painted in the corresponding color of the own character, performing display control and/or first moving control of the own character different from when the own character is in an area not painted in the corresponding color of the own character.
