Storage medium having game program stored thereon and game apparatus

A computer readable medium storing a program for generating a character object by combining a plurality of part objects, each of which is for each of a plurality of sites which are used for forming a character object appearing in a virtual game space, the program causing a processor to perform:

• generating a reference character object by combining part objects, each of which is selected for each site among the plurality of part objects stored for the respective site;
• generating at least one candidate character object which is similar but not identical to the reference character object;
• concurrently displaying on a display device the reference character object and the candidate character object;
• accepting an input to select one of the reference character object and the candidate character object;
• generating at least one new character object which is similar to but not identical the selected character object;
• updating the reference character object with the selected character object;
• and
• updating the candidate character object with the new character object generated.

A game apparatus for creating a character object by combining a plurality of part objects, each of which is for each of a plurality of sites which are used for forming a character object appearing in a virtual game space, the game apparatus comprising:

• a reference character generation section for generating a reference character object by combining part objects, each of which is selected for each site among the plurality of part objects stored for the respective site;
• a character generation section for generating at least one candidate character object by changing at least one part object among the part objects used in the reference character object;
• a display output section for causing a display device to concurrently display the reference character object and the candidate character object;
• a selection input acceptance section for accepting an input to select one of the reference character object and the candidate character object;
• a changed character generation section for generating at least one new character object by changing at least one part object used in the selected character object;
• a reference character update section for updating the reference character object with the selected character object;
• and
• a candidate character update section for updating the candidate character object with the character object generated by the changed character generation section.

A game apparatus for generating a character object by combining a plurality of part objects, each of which is for each of a plurality of sites which are used for forming a character object appearing in a visual game space, the game apparatus comprising:

• a reference character generation section for generating a reference character object by combining parts objects, each of which is selected for each site among the plurality of part objects stored for the respective site;
• a candidate character generation section for generating at least one candidate character object which is similar but not identical to the reference character object;
• a display output section for currently displaying on a display device the reference character object and the candidate character object;
• a selection input acceptance section for accepting an input to select one of the reference character object and the candidate character object;
• a changed character generation section for generating at least one new character object which is similar to but not identical the selected character object;
• a reference character update section for updating the reference character object with the selected character object;
• and
• a candidate character update section for updating the candidate character object with the new character object generated.
