Systems and methods for facilitating the sharing of user-generated content of a virtual space are presented herein. The user-generated content may be shared between users of different computing platforms. The computing platforms may be of different platform types. The user-generated content may be shared through platform type-specific conversions of the information that defines the user-generated content. The processing cost and/or other cost information may be determined and/or estimated.
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE(1) This disclosure relates to systems and methods for sharing user-generated content of a virtual space, and, more particularly, for determining processing costs for implementing the user-generated content on computing platforms of different platform types.BACKGROUND(2) Computing platforms, such as those configured to access virtual spaces, may differ in that they operate on different platform types. For example, computing platforms employed for gaming may operate on different gaming platform types. Gaming platform types may include, for example, XBOX, PLAYSTATION, Wii, PC, MAC, iOS mobile devices, Android devices, tablets, mobile devices, browser-based gaming platforms, set top micro-consoles platforms, streaming gaming platforms, and other platform types. Corresponding computing platforms may include, for example, XBOX 360 of the XBOX computing platform type, XBOX ONE of the XBOX computing platform type, PLAYSTATION 3 of the PLAYSTATION computing platform type, PLAYSTATION 4 of the PLAYSTATION computing platform type, Wii U of the Wii computing platform type, a smart TV of the browser-based computing platform type, APPLE TV of the set-top micro console type, and/or other user devices configured to access virtual spaces.(3) When virtual space content is shared between computing platforms of different platform types, there may be an unknown processing cost for implementing the sharable content from one platform type to another. For example, user-genera
1. A system for facilitating the sharing of user-generated content of a virtual space, the system comprising: one or more physical processors configured by computer-readable instructions to: receive information that defines user-generated content of a virtual space, wherein instances of the virtual space are executed by computing platforms of different platform types that are associated with users of the virtual space, wherein user-generated content corresponds to entry and/or selection of virtual space content by the users via source computing platforms, the entry and/or selection of virtual space content corresponding to requests to define the user-generated content, and wherein the user-generated content is shareable between the source computing platforms and end computing platforms that are of the different platform types, the sharing being facilitated through platform type-specific conversions of the information that defines the user-generated content, the received information including first information that defines first user-generated content, the first user-generated content corresponding to entry and/or selection by a first user via a first source computing platform of virtual space content corresponding to the requests to define the first user-generated content, wherein the first source computing platform is of a first platform type; determine estimated cost information associated with executing platform type-specific conversions of the information defining the user-generated content on the end computing platforms that are of different platform types than the source computing platforms, the estimated cost information providing a description of a level of quality of the user-generated content when executed on the end computing platforms, the estimated cost information being determined prior to the conversions of the information defining the user-generated content; receive requests to share the user-generated content; determine notifications to be sent to the computing platforms of the users in response to receiving the requests to share the user-generated content, the notifications including information relating to the estimated cost information, such that after determining first estimated cost information associated with executing a second platform type-specific conversion of the first information on a first end computing platform of the second platform type, a first notification is determined to be sent to the first source computing platform and/or a second notification is determined to be sent to the first end computing platform.
8. A method of facilitating the sharing of user-generated content of a virtual space, the method being implemented in a computer system including one or more physical processors and storage media storing machine-readable instructions, the method comprising: receiving information that defines user-generated content of a virtual space, wherein instances of the virtual space are executed by computing platforms of different platform types that are associated with users of the virtual space, wherein user-generated content corresponds to entry and/or selection of virtual space content by the users via source computing platforms, the entry and/or selection of virtual space content corresponding to requests to define the user-generated content, and wherein the user-generated content is shareable between the source computing platforms and end computing platforms that are of the different platform types, the sharing being facilitated through platform type-specific conversions of the information that defines the user-generated content, the received information including first information that defines first user-generated content, the first user-generated content corresponding to entry and/or selection by a first user via a first source computing platform of virtual space content corresponding to the requests to define the first user-generated content, wherein the first source computing platform is of a first platform type; determining estimated cost information associated with executing platform type-specific conversions of the information defining the user-generated content on the end computing platforms that are of different platform types than the source computing platforms, the estimated cost information providing a description of a level of quality of the user-generated content when executed on the end computing platforms, the estimated cost information being determined prior to the conversions of the information defining the user-generated content; receiving requests to share the user-generated content; determining notifications to be sent to the computing platforms of the users in response to receiving the requests to share the user-generated content, the notifications including information relating to the estimated cost information, including after determining first estimated cost information associated with executing a second platform type-specific conversion of the first information on a first end computing platform of the second platform type, determining a first notification to be sent to the first source computing platform and/or determining a second notification to be sent to the first end computing platform.
