Abstract:
1. A game machine for displaying a game screen image showing a picture obtained by viewing, from a predetermined viewpoint, a virtual three dimensional space where an operation target player object which moves according to an operation carried out by a game player and a plurality of teammate player objects belonging to the same team as a team to which the operation target player object belongs are placed, to thereby provide a sport game to be played by the team to which the operation target player object belongs and an opponent team, the game machine comprising: a position announcing sound data storage unit that stores position announcing sound data in association with a combination of a first condition and a second condition, the first condition concerning both a position of the teammate player object relative to a position of the operation target player object and a lateral direction of the teammate player object relative to a reference direction of the operation target player object, and the second condition being an indication whether or not the teammate player object is displayed on the game screen; a position announcement target selection unit that selects a position announcement target teammate player object from among the plurality of teammate player objects; a first determination unit that determines whether the relative position of the teammate player object selected by the position announcement target selection unit, relative to the position and reference direction of the operation target player object, satisfies the first condition associated with the position announcing sound data; a second determination unit that determines whether the teammate player object selected by the position announcement target selection unit satisfies the second condition associated with the position announcing sound data; and a position announcing sound output control unit that outputs a sound based on the position announcing sound data in the case where the combination of the first condition and the second condition associated with the position announcing sound data is satisfied.
