Abstract:
1. A game control program embedded in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program comprising: a design module operative to generate design data on a virtual space, in which players play a game, according to an instruction from a designer; a distribution module operative to distribute through a network the generated design data to an external unit; an acquisition module operative to acquire through the network, from the external unit, game data recording game actions taken in the virtual space at player terminals that have acquired the design data; a display control module operative to display, on a screen of the designer, a reproduction of the game actions taken in the virtual space at the player terminals, based on the acquired game data; and a display data extraction module operative to extract display data, wherein the design module generates design data on the virtual space in which a virtual object selected by the designer is placed, acting as an obstruction to a movement of a player's character in the virtual space; wherein the display data extraction module identifies a placement region of the virtual object in the virtual space based on the design data and extracts data recording game actions taken in the placement region, as data for displaying a reproduction, from the game data, and wherein the display control module causes the screen of the designer to display the reproduction of the game actions taken in the placement region of the virtual object based on the data for display.
