A first texture including first color information, a second texture including second color information, and a third texture including height information are managed. The first color information, of the first texture corresponding to a surface of an object, obtained on the basis of a first correspondence relationship is obtained. A second correspondence relationship which is a relationship between the surface of the object and the second texture is corrected on the basis of a relationship between a line-of-sight direction of a virtual camera and orientation of the surface of the object and the height information specified on the basis of a third correspondence relationship, and the second color information is obtained from the second texture on the basis of the corrected second correspondence relationship. Then, a rendering color is determined using the obtained color information, and the surface of the object is rendered.

For each layer, a scaling rate of an object image or a background image belonging to each of the layers is calculated based on a distance from a predetermined reference point in a virtual three-dimensional space to each of the layers. In addition, for each of the layers, a movement velocity of each of the layers when conducting a parallax scrolling is calculated based on a distance from the predetermined reference point in the virtual three-dimensional space to each of the layers. Furthermore, an image in each of the layers is scaled up or down based on the calculated scaling rate, and each of the layers are moved in a predetermined direction at the calculated movement velocity.

A color image viewed from a virtual camera is generated. Next, a fog image is generated by adding a fog color to respective objects in accordance with distances from a position, which is represented by a Z value, of a player object to positions of the respective objects which are represented by Z values. Further, mask processing is performed so as to add to the fog image a predetermined fog color in accordance with distances from a predetermined reference pixel to pixels in a lateral and a longitudinal directions in the fog image. And an image into which the fog image and the color image have been synthesized is displayed as a game image.
