Game system, game control device information storage medium, and method of controlling game system

A game control device that executes a game in which a user and an opponent play against each other, where a user object, which is a game object used by the user, and an opponent object, which is a game object used by the opponent, move in a virtual space, the game control device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory device that stores a plurality of instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor:
• cause the at least one processor to control a motion of the user object based on first performance information relating to a performance of the user object;
• cause the at least one processor to control a motion of the opponent object based on second performance information relating to a performance of the opponent object;
• cause the at least one processor to modify performance change information relating to a change of the first performance information and the second performance information based on a change command from the user or the opponent, the performance change information being associated with a target area in the virtual space;
• wherein the performance change information indicates whether the target area is a dominant area of a user team;
• cause the at least one processor to change the first performance information when the user object is located in the target area, based on whether the target area is determined to be the dominant area of the user team, based on the performance change information associated with the target area;
• and
• cause the at least one processor to change the second performance information when the opponent object is located in the target area, based on whether the target area is determined to be the dominant area of the user team, based on the performance change information associated with the target area;
• cause the at least one processor to cause the virtual space to be displayed on a user terminal from a viewing point and a viewing direction as a virtual display image;
• cause the at least one processor to depict the user object in the virtual space according to motion data which specifies changes in the user object posture for each of a plurality of frames associated with the motion of the user object.

A non-transitory information storage medium having stored thereon a program for executing a game in which a user and an opponent play against each other, where a user object, which is a game object used by the user, and an opponent object, which is a game object used by the opponent, move in a virtual space, wherein the program is for:

• causing a computer to control a motion of the user object based on first performance information relating to a performance of the user object;
• causing a computer to control a motion of the opponent object based on second performance information relating to a performance of the opponent object;
• causing a computer to modify performance change information relating to a change of the first performance information and the second performance information based on a change command from the user or the opponent, the performance change information being associated with a target area in the virtual space;
• wherein the performance change information indicates whether the target area is a dominant area of a user team;
• causing a computer to change the first performance information when the user object is located in the target area, based on whether the target area is determined to be the dominant area of the user team, based on the performance change information associated with the target area;
• and
• causing a computer to change the second performance information when the opponent object is located in the target area, based on whether the target area is determined to be the dominant area of the user team, based on the performance change information associated with the target area;
• causing a computer to cause the virtual space to be displayed on a user terminal from a viewing point and a viewing direction as a virtual display image;
• causing a computer to depict the user object in the virtual space according to motion data which specifies changes in the user object posture for each of a plurality of frames associated with the motion of the user object.

A game control method in which a user and an opponent play against each other, where a user object, which is a game object used by the user, and an opponent object, which is a game object used by the opponent, move in a virtual space, the method comprising:

• controlling a motion of the user object based on first performance information relating to a performance of the user object;
• controlling a motion of the opponent object based on second performance information relating to a performance of the opponent object;
• modifying performance change information relating to a change of the first performance information and the second performance information based on a change command from the user or the opponent, the performance change information being associated with a target area in the virtual space;
• wherein the performance change information indicates whether the target area is a dominant area of a user team;
• changing the first performance information when the user object is located in the target area, based on whether the target area is determined to be the dominant area of the user team, based on the performance change information associated with the target area;
• and
• changing the second performance information when the opponent object is located in the target area, based on whether the target area is determined to be the dominant area of the user team, based on the performance change information associated with the target area;
• causing the virtual space to be displayed on a user terminal from a viewing point and a viewing direction as a virtual display image;
• causing the at least one processor to depict the user object in the virtual space according to motion data which specifies changes in the user object posture for each of a plurality of frames associated with the motion of the user object.
