Upon receiving first operation information indicating a first operation member to which an operation input has been made, an information processing apparatus changes, based on correspondence information, the first operation information to second operation information indicating a second operation member associated with the first operation member indicated by the first operation information and outputs the second operation information to the processing for the game.

Program, recording medium, information processing apparatus, and control method

An information processing apparatus obtains information of an operation input made on a first client device from that the first client device, and generates a first rendering command for a first screen to be provided to the first client device based on information of the operation input. The apparatus also obtains change information, for changing a display state of a rendering object, from a second client device, and generates a second rendering command for a second screen by changing the first rendering command based on the change information.

Information processing apparatus, rendering apparatus, method and program

An information processing apparatus receives operation input corresponding to a plurality of devices and renders a first screen for a particular viewpoint in a virtual space in which it is possible to move an avatar based on the operation input, wherein avatars corresponding to each of the plurality of devices are simultaneously positioned in the virtual space. Meanwhile, the apparatus also performs processing on particular content that is not an avatar based on the operation input and renders a second screen for the content. The apparatus, in a case where an avatar corresponding to an apparatus to which the second screen is provided is included in a rendering scope for the particular viewpoint, renders the first screen, applying the second screen provided to the apparatus corresponding to the avatar to an object related to the avatar in the virtual space.

Information processing apparatus, control method, program, storage medium, and rendering system

A server arrangement for controlling a video game viewable by game participants at a plurality of respective terminals. The server arrangement has a game engine to output graphical scenes collectively representing a virtual world with game characters, each graphical scene describing a portion of the virtual world. The server arrangement also has a shared-rendering engine for associating game participants with respective graphical scenes and for performing a shared-rendering operation on the graphical scenes to generate respective moving-image data streams, the shared-rendering operation being common for the game participants that are associated by the shared-rendering engine with the same graphical scene.
