ABSTRACT:
In a 2D and 3D character determining process, the contents of display status information indicating a display status of a non-player character, such as a display position and display brightness, is confirmed. It is then determined whether or not the display status of the non-player character satisfies a non-display condition. In the case where it is determined that the non-display condition is satisfied, it is determined that the character is not drawn in a virtual three-dimensional space. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the display status of the non-player character satisfies a 2D display condition. In the case where it is determined that the 2D display condition is satisfied, it is determined that the character is drawn as a two-dimensional character. In the case where it is determined that the 2D display condition is not satisfied, it is determined that the character is drawn as a three-dimensional character.
