Abstract

A non-limiting example game apparatus includes a display device, and a game screen is displayed on the display device. For example, a player character, a non-player character, a background object, etc. are displayed in the game screen. When finishing the drawing of a game image corresponding to the game screen, the smallest value of a Z value is acquired from a Z buffer. If the smallest value is less than a predetermined threshold value, when drawing a game image of a next frame, a target object that is near to a virtual camera is detected, and transparency of the target object that is nearer than a predetermined criterion is made to be increased.
