Generating individual play bases in a virtual space using markup information
First Claim
1. A virtual space server generating individual player bases in a virtual space using markup information, the virtual space server comprising:
- one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to;
execute an instance of the virtual space in which an online game takes place, and to implement the instance of the virtual space to facilitate player participation in the online game via client computing platforms by transmitting space state information derived from the instance of the virtual space to the client computing platforms, wherein player participation includes performing activities within player bases within the virtual space, the activities including one or more of earning income, constructing buildings, recruiting and/or training troops, producing farming yields, harvesting resources, crafting virtual items and/or developing virtual skills;
manage player accounts comprising player information associated with individual players, the player accounts including a first player account associated with a first player;
obtain player base markup files for the player bases, the obtained player base markup files being in a markup language format and defining individual bases associated with the players separate from other player information associated with individual players in the player account, the obtained player base markup files including a first player base markup file that defines a first base associated with the first player, the first player base markup file being separate from the other player information included in the first player account;
generate, on the virtual space server, player bases in the instance of the virtual space based on the player base markup files such that the first player base is generated in the instance of the virtual space based on a first boundary and the first player base markup information; and
generate, format, and initiate transmission of state information derived from the instance of the virtual space to the client computing platforms to facilitate user participation in the virtual space.

Abstract
A system and method for generating individual player bases in a virtual space using markup information are disclosed. Player base definitions specific individual players may be managed. The player base definitions may indicate boundaries of player bases in the virtual space, a base type for the player bases, and/or any other information related to the player bases. Player base markup information may be obtained for a given player base type. The obtained player base markup information may indicate, in a markup language format, building information regarding one or more default buildings within a player base having the given base type. Individual player bases may be generated in the virtual space base on the boundaries of the player bases as indicated in the player base definitions associated with the individual players and further based on the player base markup information for the base type of the player bases.

5. A method for generating individual player bases in a virtual space using markup information, the method being implemented in physical processors of a virtual space server, the physical processors being configured by machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:
-
executing an instance of the virtual space in which an online game takes place, and implementing the instance of the virtual space to facilitate player participation in the online game via client computing platforms by transmitting space state information derived from the instance of the virtual space to the client computing platforms, wherein player participation includes performing activities within player bases within the virtual space, the activities including one or more of earning income, constructing buildings, recruiting and/or training troops, producing farming yields, harvesting resources, crafting virtual items and/or developing virtual skills; managing player accounts comprising player information associated with individual players, the player accounts including a first player account associated with a first player; obtaining player base markup files for the player bases, the obtained player base markup files being in a markup language format and defining individual bases associated with the players separate from other player information associated with individual players in the player account, the obtained player base markup files including a first player base markup file that defines a first base associated with the first player, the first player base markup file being separate from the other player information included in the first player account; generating player bases in the instance of the virtual space based on the player base markup files such that the first player base is generated in the instance of the virtual space based on the first player base markup file; deriving state information from the instance of the virtual space for transmission to the client computing platforms to facilitate user participation in the virtual space; formatting the state information for transmission to the client computing platforms to facilitate user participation in the virtual space; and initiating transmission of the state information to the client computing platforms to facilitate user participation in the virtual space. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
