  • the updated character group includes the character that obtained the spouse and the spouse character as new parent characters, and also newly born child characters. In other words, if one of the child characters obtains a spouse character in step S 206 , the parent characters and other child characters at that time leave the character group, thus attaining a generation change.
  • these two or more child characters include those of a plurality of genders: male and female child characters. This is because, for example, if all two or more child characters are male characters, and those in the other game apparatus as a communication partner are also male characters, these child characters cannot marry those in the other game apparatus.
  • step S 206 in FIG. 2 The detailed sequence of the processing in step S 206 in FIG. 2 will be described below with reference to FIG. 6 .
  • step S 601 the CPU 101 acquires identification information of a game apparatus as a communication partner from this game apparatus.
  • the identification information is information unique to each game apparatus, and is, for example, a serial number of the game apparatus.

If the chum level is available, the process advances to step S 603 ; otherwise, the process advances to step S 604 .
  • step S 603 the CPU 101 updates the chum level.
  • the chum level is set to indicate the number of times of communications with the game apparatus as the communication partner. Hence, the CPU 101 increments the chum level by 1.

  • FIG. 7 shows the chum levels stored as some of the user data 113 in the internal storage device 110 .
  • the identification information and chum level are stored as a set, even when the game apparatus 100 alternately communicates with a plurality of other game apparatuses, it can hold the chum levels of the plurality of other game apparatuses.
  • step S 605 the CPU 101 displays a menu window (see a window 801 in FIG. 8 ) on the display unit 106 , and accepts a menu selection via the operation unit 103 . If “marriage” is selected on the window 801 , the process advances to step S 606 ; if another item (e.g., “game”) is selected, the process advances to step S 617 . In step S 617 , for example, an online battle game or the like is executed according to the selected contents.
  • a menu window see a window 801 in FIG. 8
  • step S 617 for example, an online battle game or the like is executed according to the selected contents.
  • step S 606 the CPU 101 displays a menu window associated with marriage (see a window 802 in FIG. 8 ) on the display unit 106 . Then, the CPU 101 accepts, via the operation unit 103 , a selection as to whether to take a spouse character or to give away a child character as a spouse character to the game apparatus as the communication partner. If “take” is selected on the window 802 , the process advances to step S 607 ; if “give” is selected, the process advances to step S 612 .
  • step S 607 the CPU 101 displays a window (see a window 803 in FIG. 8 ) that prompts the player to select a child character to marry.
  • the CPU 101 selects a child character to marry according to the player's operation.
  • the CPU 101 checks in step S 608 if the family of the game apparatus 100 is chummy with that of the game apparatus as the communication partner by seeing if the chum level is equal to higher than a threshold (e.g., 20). If the family of the game apparatus 100 is chummy with that of the game apparatus as the communication partner, the process advances to step S 609 ; otherwise, the process advances to step S 611 to display an error window (not shown), and the marriage is not concluded. In the example of FIG. 7 , since the game apparatus 100 has a chum level of 20 or more with a game apparatus having identification information “BFA3”, the process advances to S 609 if it is communicating with this game apparatus.
  • a threshold e.g. 20
  • step S 609 the CPU 101 compares the gender of the child character selected in step S 607 with that of a child character (i.e., a spouse character) selected in the game apparatus as the communication partner. If the two characters have different genders, the process advances to step S 610 ; otherwise, the process advances to step S 611 and the marriage is not concluded.
  • a child character i.e., a spouse character
  • step S 610 the CPU 101 displays a window indicating that the marriage is concluded (see a window 804 in FIG. 8 ). Then, the CPU 101 acquires a spouse character from the game apparatus as the communication partner, and executes generation change processing (to be described in detail later).
  • the game of this embodiment may be configured so that only when a child character in question is in a predetermined growth stage (e.g., a laying period), the marriage (and generation change) is realized; otherwise, the process advances to step S 611 to execute the error processing.
  • step S 612 the CPU 101 checks in step S 612 if the character group includes a plurality of child characters. If the character group includes a plurality of child characters, the process advances to step S 613 ; otherwise, the process advances to step S 611 and the marriage is not concluded.
  • the checking process in step S 612 is to prevent the number of child characters included in the character group from becoming zero. If the number of child characters becomes zero, the generation change can never be made by taking a spouse character. However, if the number of child characters is permitted to be zero, the checking process in step S 612 can be omitted. Even when the number of child characters becomes zero, the player can play the game again by, e.g., resetting it. Alternatively, the game of this embodiment may be configured so that when the number of child characters becomes zero, the parent characters produce eggs again.
  • step S 613 the CPU 101 displays a window that prompts the player to select a child character to give (see a window 805 in FIG. 8 ) on the display unit 106 .
  • the CPU 101 checks in step S 614 if the family of the game apparatus 100 is chummy with that of the game apparatus as the communication partner, as in step S 608 . If the family of the game apparatus 100 is chummy with that of the game apparatus as the communication partner, the process advances to step S 615 ; otherwise, the process advances to step S 611 and the marriage is not concluded.
  • step S 615 the CPU 101 compares the gender of the child character selected in step S 613 with that of a child character (i.e., a match character) selected in the game apparatus as the communication partner. If the two characters have different genders, the process advances to step S 616 ; otherwise, the process advances to step S 611 and the marriage is not concluded.
  • a child character i.e., a match character
  • step S 616 the CPU 101 clears the child character selected in step S 613 from the character group. Also, the given child character is no longer displayed on the standby window, as indicated by a window 806 in FIG. 8 .
  • the game of this embodiment may be configured so that only when the child character is in a predetermined growth stage (e.g., a laying period), that child character is given (cleared); otherwise, the process advances to step S 611 to execute the error processing, as in step S 610 .
  • FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the detailed sequence of the processing in step S 610 in FIG. 6 .
  • step S 901 the CPU 101 clears characters other than the character to marry (the character selected in step S 607 in FIG. 6 ) from the management data shown in FIG. 4 .
  • the characters other than the character to marry are cleared from the character group.
  • the data associated with the cleared characters need not be completely cleared from the internal storage device 110 , and may be held as, for example, some of the user data 113 .
  • step S 902 the CPU 101 acquires a spouse character from the game apparatus as the communication partner, and adds it to the management data shown in FIG. 4 .
  • the-spouse character itself may be acquired upon confirming the gender in step S 609 in FIG. 6 .
  • step S 903 the CPU 101 changes data in the gender field 403 of the character to marry and the spouse character from “child” to “parent”. Also, the CPU 101 changes data in the number field 401 of the character to marry to “1”, and that in the number field 401 of the spouse character to “2”.
  • step S 904 the CPU 101 initializes (resets) the chum level shown in FIG. 7 to zero. This processing is executed to indicate that a new character group (i.e., a new family) generated by the generation change has never had contact with (communicated with) a family of another game apparatus.
  • the CPU 101 may initialize other data (e.g., “bond” in the management data shown in FIG. 5 ) as needed.
  • step S 610 the process advances from step S 610 to step S 207 via step S 206 . Since it is determined in step S 207 that a spouse is acquired, the process returns to step S 202 . Then, the CPU 101 generates child characters in step S 203 , and adds them to the management data. After that, the game similarly progresses in association with a new family.
  • step S 205 in FIG. 2 The detailed sequence of the event determination processing in step S 205 in FIG. 2 will be described below with reference to FIG. 10 . Since there are various kinds of events, only some events will be described below. As is easily understood by those who are skilled in the art, various kinds of event processing can be implemented by modifying the flowchart of FIG. 10 as needed.
  • the CPU 101 checks in step S 1001 if an arbitrary event generation condition is satisfied.
  • An event is generated, for example, “when a predetermined period of time has elapsed”, “when the player inputs a predetermined instruction via the operation unit 103”, “when a predetermined time has been reached”, and so forth.
  • the CPU 101 can measure an elapse of time or can check if a predetermined time is reached, using a timer (not shown) or timepiece (not shown). If the condition is satisfied, the process advances to step S 1002 , S 1003 , or S 1004 depending on the contents of the satisfied condition (i.e., the contents of an event to be generated). If the condition is not satisfied, the event determination processing ends.
  • the CPU 101 changes the value of the growth stage field 501 shown in FIG. 5 in step S 1002 .
  • the parent characters are in the laying period, and the child characters are in the infancy period (indicated by “laying period/infancy period” in FIG. 5 ).
  • the grow stage changes to “parent period/rebellious period”.
  • the growth stage changes to “parent period/puberty”.
  • the growth stage changes to “parent period/laying period”.
  • the child character can marry in this stage (that is, the child character can be selected in step S 607 or S 613 ).
  • the personality type of the current family may be determined with reference to the fields indicating the personalities of respective characters in the management data. For example, in this embodiment, since the numerical value of the “meticulous” field of character # 3 shown in FIG. 4 is “55”, which is larger than the numerical value “40” of the “lively” field and the numerical value “30” of the “easygoing” field, it is determined that character # 3 has a “meticulous” personality. Since the numerical value of the “lively” field of character # 4 is “55”, which is larger than those of the remaining “meticulous” and “easygoing” fields, it is determined that character # 4 has a “lively” personality.
  • the numerical value of the “meticulous” field of character # 5 is “55”, which is larger than those of the remaining “lively” and “easygoing” fields, it is determined that character # 5 has a “meticulous” personality.
  • the type of the current family is “multi-personality”.
  • the personality type of the current family is determined with reference to only the fields of the children. However, the personality type may be determined by referring to the fields as well as those of the parents.
  • the CPU 101 increments the value of the stomach field 503 shown in FIG. 5 in step S 1003 .
  • the CPU 101 When a predetermined time (e.g., 3 p.m.) of a day has been reached, the CPU 101 outputs a calling sound from the loudspeaker 108 or displays a calling message on the display unit 106 to call the player in step S 1004 .
  • This calling corresponds to that for the player by the child characters.
  • the CPU 101 checks if the player responds within a predetermined period of time via the operation unit 103 . If the player responds, the process advances to step S 1005 , and the CPU 101 increments the value of the bond field 502 in FIG. 5 . However, if the player does not respond, the process advances to step S 1006 , and the CPU 101 decrements the value of the bond field 502 .
  • step S 1007 the CPU 101 displays a window according to the contents of the event (e.g., a window indicating that the child characters take a meal) on the display unit 106 .
  • the event e.g., a window indicating that the child characters take a meal
  • a program for making a computer execute the aforementioned processes (for example, those according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 2 , 6 , 9 , and 10 in the above embodiment) is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, MO, or the like, and the computer reads out (installs or copies) the program recorded on this recording medium, the computer can implement the aforementioned processes. Therefore, such program and the computer-readable recording medium that records the program fall within the scope of the present invention.
  • the game apparatus 100 holds a character group including parent characters and child characters.
  • the game apparatus 100 can communicate with another game apparatus. By making communication, the game apparatus 100 changes the parameter value (chum level) indicating the relationship between its own character group and that of the game apparatus as a communication partner.
