Game program, game apparatus and game system

A non-transitory gaming media having computer-readable instructions stored therein that enable two or more players to play a virtual video game simultaneously, the instructions stored in the media adapted to cause one or more computer processors to perform the steps of:

• generating a first object in a virtual game space, actions of the first object in the virtual game space being at least in part responsive to first operational information generated by a first player from a first computing device,
• generating a second object in the virtual game space, actions of the second object in the virtual game space being at least in part responsive to second operational information generated by a second player from a second computing device,
• generating a first mission of the virtual game space that is adapted to be played by the first object, and
• generating a second mission that is adapted to be played by the second object, the second mission being independent of the first mission such that the first mission played by the first object is not interrupted by the second mission played by the second object when the second mission and the first mission are played simultaneously.

A computer-implemented method of enabling two or more players to simultaneously play a virtual video game, the method comprising the steps of:

• generating, by one or more processors, a first object in a virtual game space, actions of the first object in the virtual game space being at least in part responsive to first operational information generated by a first player from a first computing device,
• generating, by one or more processors, a first mission of the virtual game space that is adapted to be played by the first object,
• generating, by one or more processors, a second object in the virtual game space responsive to a request for participation from a second computing device, actions of the second object in the virtual game space being at least in part responsive to second operational information generated by a second player from the second computing device, and
• generating, by one or more processors, a second mission that is adapted to be played by the second object, the second mission being independent of the first mission such that the first mission played by the first object is not interrupted by the second mission played by the second object when the second mission and the first mission are played simultaneously.

A gaming system adapted to enable two or more players to simultaneously play a virtual game, the system comprising:

• a first gaming apparatus adapted to communicate operating information generated by a first player to thereby define a main character gaming apparatus, the main character gaming apparatus comprising:
• a first main operation information unit adapted to receive first operation information generated by the first player using a main character gaming device,
• a first liberty object unit adapted to process information generated by a liberty character player,
• a first game space control unit adapted to generate a virtual game space for the first player, and
• a first main object control unit adapted to generate a main object in the virtual game space, the main object being at least in part responsive to first operational information generated by the first player using the main character gaming device;
• and
• a second gaming apparatus adapted to communicate operating information generated by a second player to thereby define a liberty character gaming apparatus, the liberty character gaming apparatus comprising:
• a liberty operation information unit adapted to receive second operation information generated by the second player using a liberty character gaming device,
• a second main object unit adapted to process information generated by the first player using the main character gaming device,
• a second game space control unit adapted to generate the virtual game space for the second player, and
• a liberty object control adapted to generate a liberty object in the virtual game space, the liberty object being at least in part responsive to second operational information generated by the second player using the liberty character gaming device, the liberty object being adapted to operate in the virtual game space simultaneously with the first player without interfering with the first player.
