A virtual space, in which at least a player character is placed and a back object is placed on a depth side with respect to the player character, is rendered in a frame buffer with orthographic projection and by performing a depth test. A degree of hiding is determined for each pixel on the basis of a hiding determination method based on SSAO, and the hiding determination method is a method in which, when comparing each of depth values of a plurality of sampling points set around a position, in the virtual space, corresponding to each pixel with a depth of a corresponding position in a depth buffer, a first offset is added to a position of the sampling point, and the comparison is performed. Then, a shadow is further rendered on a pixel corresponding to a portion for which the degree of hiding is high.
In a virtual space, a state of at least one of a first object and a second object that is associated with a first user is changed based on a first user's input. A first region related to the first user is set based on a position of the second object arranged with reference to a position of a first player character. A state of at least one of the first object and a second object that is associated with a second user is changed based on the second user's input. Changing of states of the first and second objects in the first region based on the second user's input is limited.

SERVER APPARATUS, NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM, SESSION MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM
Functions of a server apparatus are realized by executing a server program comprising the following constituent elements: a generation module 50 for generating a session when a session generation condition is satisfied; a joining module 51 for causing a user to join a session selected based on a predetermined condition when a joining request is acquired from a user terminal of the user; a withdrawal module 52 for withdrawing a user participating in a session from the session when a withdrawal condition concerning the user is satisfied; a first discarding module 53 for discarding a session when a first time has passed since the session was generated; and a second discarding module 54 for discarding a session when a second time has passed since the session became empty of participants, regardless of whether the first time has passed since the session was generated or not.
Information processing instructions to be executed by a computer of a first terminal of a first user cause the computer to participate in a session and run a game via a network, and to perform operations of: updating game status based on an operation input from the first user; when positions of a first character controlled in a virtual space of the game by the first user and a second character controlled in the virtual space by a second user of a second terminal participating in the same session as the first terminal get closer than a predetermined criterion, establishing a predetermined relationship in the session between the first user and the second user; and during progress of the game, successively outputting information indicating game status of the second user updated based on an operation input from the second user whose predetermined relationship with the first user has been established.

NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING GAME PROGRAM STORED THEREIN, GAME SYSTEM, AND GAME PROCESSING METHOD
When a mistake occurs in a game stage, if another player object exists within a predetermined range, a player object is shifted to a special state where the player object does not become damaged. While the player object is in the special state, if the player object comes into contact with another player object, the player object is returned from the special state to a normal state. On the other hand, if no other player object exists within the predetermined range, or if the player object cannot come into contact with the other player object while being in the special state, play of the game stage is terminated.
