A game system () comprises: an object management section () that associates a game object for which an acquisition condition is met with user's identification information; an game execution section () that executes a game using a game object selected by the user from among the game objects associated with the user's identification information; and the parameter determination section () that determines parameters to be given to the user to obtain in-game rewards according to the game objects used in the game. The game execution section () further executes the game using a combination of a decorative object and an in-game avatar. When the user executes the game using the combination of the decorative object and the in-game avatar, the parameter determination section () determines the parameter so that the value of the parameter becomes larger the greater the number of the decorative object types.

When a first input is performed in a predetermined scene, options including elements available in a predetermined game are presented. An element to be used in the predetermined game is determined on the basis of an operation input by a user. In response to a second input, the predetermined game using the determined element is executed. Meanwhile, at a predetermined timing before the predetermined game is started, an element to be used in the predetermined game is automatically determined. When a third input is performed in the predetermined scene, the predetermined game is executed using the automatically determined element. After the predetermined game is ended, a first reward is given to the user if the element used in the predetermined game is the element determined on the basis of the operation input by the user, and a second reward is given if the element is the automatically determined element.

A plurality of placement objects including first objects representing game events of a first type and a second object representing a game event of a second type are placed in a placement order in a game space, in the game event of the second type permitted to be executed, if a first giving condition is satisfied, a first reward is given to a user, and if a second giving condition is satisfied, a second reward is given to the user, and if the first reward is given to the user, a placement order of the first objects only is not changed, and placement of the second object representing the game event of the second type in which the first reward is given to the user is changed to a position before the first one of the first objects or after the last one of the first objects.

Information processing system, storage medium having stored therein information processing program, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

An example of an information processing system gives an in-game virtual reward associated with a first designated game stage to a user on condition that a result of a first game played by the user satisfies the reward giving condition. The information processing system gives the in-game virtual reward associated with a second designated game stage to the user on condition that a result of a second game played by the user satisfies the reward giving condition. Regardless of whether an in-game virtual reward is given based on the result of the first game played by the user or the result of the second game played by the user, the information processing system changes an in-game element in the first game mode from a state where it is not permitted to be played by the user to a state where it is permitted to be played by the user.

An in-game event occurring based on a user's input is detected in a game of each time, where the game is performed a plurality of times. A first parameter is increased or decreased based on the in-game event occurring in the game of each time, the first parameter being reset for the game of each time, to calculate a score in the game of each time. A second parameter is increased or decreased based on a result of the game determined based on an assessment parameter different from a final score, the second parameter being used in the game of the plurality of times without being reset for the game of each time.

In order to select a content to be used in a specified game or game stage from a plurality of contents, a selection image including a plurality of contents is displayed in which possessed contents and unpossessed contents not possessed by a user are visually distinguishable, and at least a display form or display position of each content is varied based on parameters set for a combination of the content and the specified game or game stage, and at least one is selected from the plurality of contents displayed in the selection image.

Systems and methods of displaying or arranging presented game content based on a combination condition with a selected game or stage

After a game is performed, a lottery process for selecting any content from among a plurality of contents by lot is executed. In accordance with the degree of rarity of the content selected by lot in the lottery process, the number of times of an operation to be performed by a user is set. Before a lottery result is displayed, lottery representation is performed, and in the lottery representation, a user is caused to perform the operation. In accordance with the fact that the number of times of the operation performed by the user reaches the set number of times of the operation, the lottery result is displayed on a display section. When the number of times of the operation performed by the user does not reach the set number of times of the operation, representation is changed in accordance with the user operation.

A non-limiting example system includes a computer to execute: setting, for each of a plurality of in-game options, a value for a parameter that indicates possession of at least one of a plurality of game objects; selecting at least one of the plurality of game objects that is indicated as being possessed from the plurality of in-game options; based on the selection of at least one of the game objects, enabling occurrence of a first in-game effect based on a type of the selected object; based on occurrence of the first in-game effect, changing a value set for the parameter of the in-game option that corresponds to the selected object; and based on determination that at least two of the values set for the parameters of the plurality of in-game options satisfy a combinational condition, enabling occurrence of a second in-game effect different from the first in-game effect.

In an example system, in the first game scene, a first game object is given to a user in exchange for a reduction in in-game currency possessed by the user, and based on a type of the first game object, a player object disposed in a virtual space is controlled. Based on the player object's reaching a specific position in the virtual space, a second game object is given to the user, and based on the user's instruction, the second game object is given to the user in exchange for a reduction in the in-game currency. The first game object is allowed to be continually used in a plurality of the second game scenes, and the second game object is not allowed to be continually used in a plurality of the second game scene.

An example of an information processing device generates a game field for each of a plurality of game stages. The information processing device executes a game process of controlling a player object in response to an operation by a user in a game stage for which the game field has been generated. The information processing device determines whether the user has cleared or failed to clear the game stage. In response to a determination that the user has cleared the game stage, the information processing device starts the game process for a next game stage while maintaining a state of the player object at the time of clearing. On the other hand, in response to a determination that the user has failed to clear the game stage, the information processing device starts the game process for a next game stage.
