A distance measuring unitmeasures a distance of a path of sound based on the number of map units between the map unit where a sound source is located and the map unit where a player character is located. An effect unitattenuates the volume of a game sound based on the distance calculated by the distance measuring unit. Thereby, it is possible to attenuate the volume level of the sound effect depending on the distance where the sound is transmitted, even if the sound comes around an object obstructing sound.

Game device, method and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

Optical device includes first substrate being light transmissive, second substrate opposing first substrate and being light transmissive, and light distribution layer disposed between first substrate and second substrate and distributing incident light. Light distribution layer includes uneven structure portion having a plurality of projections repeated in the z axial direction parallel to the main face of first substrate, and optical medium portion containing a birefringent material and disposed to fill a plurality of recesses that are spaces between the plurality of projections. Light blocking component configured to block at least part of incident light is disposed in the plurality of recesses.

Optical drive

A control unit includes: a virtual space generating unit configured to generate the virtual space and display the virtual space on a display unit; a character control unit configured to control an action of the player character based on the operation of a operating unit by the user; a sound detecting unit configured to detect a sound generated place in a predetermined region determined based on a position of the player character in the virtual space; a map display unit configured to display a simplified map in the game screen image, the simplified map simply displaying the predetermined region of the virtual space; and a sound generated place display unit configured to display the sound generated place in the predetermined region at a corresponding position on the simplified map.

Game system, method of controlling game system, and nonvolatile recording medium readable by computer device

A game system includes: a virtual camera control unit configured to control a virtual camera configured to take an image of a three-dimensional virtual game space; a game image generating unit configured to generate a game image based on the taken image; a sound reproducing unit configured to reproduce sound data in accordance with a situation of a game; and a first operation acquiring unit configured to acquire a physical and continuous displacement amount of a first operating portion operated by a user. In accordance with a continuous change in the displacement amount of the first operating portion, the virtual camera control unit continuously changes a zoom ratio of the virtual camera, and the sound reproducing unit continuously changes a method of reproducing the sound data.
