Abstract
A method, game machine, computer program and a recording medium include displaying a final motion image sequence of a character in a video game according to motion data defining variations in posture of the character. The method includes responding to an input operation of a game player, performed during display of first motion data defining a first motion image sequence of the character, and determining second motion data defining a second motion image sequence of the character. A transitional motion image sequence is created based on a single posture defined in the first motion data and a group of postures defined in the second motion data. The final motion image sequence is displayed, which includes a portion of the first motion image sequence, the transitional motion image sequence, and a portion of the second motion image sequence, creating a gradual transition of motion image sequences.
