Furthermore, ranking can be performed according to the game results of each player. The counting unit 116 updates the counting data 128 with reference to the player data 127. Thus, for example, as described above, ranking can be performed based on the total value of each parameter of "affection", "favorability", and "compatibility" of the other character.

[0269] The game information generating section 111 generates game information indicating ranking based on the tally data 128. Thereby, the mobile phone 200 can also see the image in which the ranking of each player has been performed.

The images in which the ranking of each player has been performed may be displayed, for example, by parameter display (step 8).

As described above, since the game results are totaled, when a game is played by a large number of players, it is possible to provide a game that stimulates the competitiveness of the players and makes them more enthusiastic.

As described above, in the love simulation game, by generating the game information corresponding to the progress of the game based on the command, the player can
You can enjoy a command selection type character breeding type game. Even in a character breeding type game, if the breeding of characters appearing in the game is not performed in real time, the fun will be reduced.
