Image processing apparatus and storage medium for deforming or moving displayed objects

An image processing apparatus, comprising:

• an operation receiver configured to receive an operation input by a user;
• and
• a processing system, including a computer hardware processor, the processing system being configured to at least perform:
• an object control to control objects arranged in a virtual space;
• a virtual camera control to control a virtual camera that is movably arranged in the virtual space;
• and
• an image production to produce an image of the virtual space based on the virtual camera, wherein
• the objects arranged in the virtual space include a plurality of first kind objects and a second kind object that is controlled in accordance with the operation input by the user,
• the object control determines, based on the virtual camera, whether at least a part of the second kind object is hindered by the first kind objects, and in a case of a hindering state, performs first object control processing that deforms the first kind objects so that the first kind objects go away from the virtual camera,
• the first object control processing deforms the plurality of the first kind objects so that when the distance of the first kind objects from the virtual camera decreases, length of the first kind objects decreases such that the height of the first kind objects decreases.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a game program that is executed by a computer, wherein the game program causes one or more processors provided in the computer to perform

• an object controlling step controlling objects arranged in a virtual space;
• a virtual camera controlling step controlling a virtual camera that is movably arranged in the virtual space;
• and
• an image producing step producing an image of the virtual space based on the virtual camera, wherein:
• the object controlling step performs first object control processing that deforms a plurality of first kind objects out of the objects arranged in the virtual space in accordance with a distance from the virtual camera so as to go away from the virtual camera, and
• the first object control processing deforms the plurality of the first kind objects so that when the distance of the first kind objects from the virtual camera decreases, length of the first kind objects decreases such that the height of the first kind objects decreases.
