Abstract

In a game device (), a memory unit () stores a position of a player character, a position of an enemy character, an elapsed time up to a present time after the enemy character has appeared, and candidates of a position where a new enemy character is to appear. A measuring unit () measures an elapsed time up to a present time after the enemy character has appeared, and stores the measured elapsed time in the memory unit (). A calculating unit () calculates a reference distance which becomes a determination criterion for a position where a new enemy character appears based on the stored elapsed time. The reference distance monotonically increases relative to the increasing of the elapsed time. An appearance setting unit () selects a candidate having a distance to the player character closest to the reference distance among the candidates stored in the memory unit (), and causes a new enemy character to appear at the selected candidate position.
