A method for facilitating user interactions with a virtual space, the method being implemented in one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:
- executing an instance of the virtual space that includes a simulated 3-dimensional topography;
- implementing the instance of the virtual space by executing commands, wherein execution of the commands facilitates user interactions between users and further facilitates locomotion of user-controlled objects within the simulated 3-dimensional topography of the virtual space;
- presenting space interfaces to the users on the client computing platforms, wherein the space interfaces present the simulated 3-dimensional topography, wherein the users include participating users that participate in chat sessions, wherein the participating users include a first user, wherein the space interfaces include a first space interface that is presented to the first user on a first client computing platform associated with the first user;
- implementing an instance of a chat session to facilitate textual communications between the participating users;
- transmitting the textual communications that make up the chat session to the client computing platforms associated with the participating users;
- presenting graphical chat interfaces to the participating users such that the graphical chat interfaces replace the space interfaces, wherein the graphical chat interfaces facilitate the textual communications between the participating users, wherein the graphical chat interfaces include a first graphical chat interface that is presented to the first user on the first client computing platform such that the first graphical chat interface replaces the first space interface and the first user has no access to controls provided by the first space interface during presentation of the first graphical chat interface;
- identifying potential inputs to the virtual space for the participating users, the potential inputs including available inputs for the participating users to select one or more interactions within the simulated 3-dimensional topography of the virtual space that, upon selection, will effectuate particular locomotion of particular user-controlled objects between virtual space locations within the simulated 3-dimensional topography of the virtual space, wherein the potential inputs include a first potential input for the first user that represents a first action that occurs within the simulated 3-dimensional topography of the virtual space;
- presenting, through the graphical chat interfaces, the identified potential inputs for the participating users such that the participating users can select one or more of the identified potential inputs in the graphical chat interfaces;
- receiving, through the graphical chat interfaces, user input from the participating users, wherein the received user input indicates the selection of the one or more of the identified potential inputs, wherein the received user input from the first user, through the first graphical chat interface, indicates selection of the first potential input;
- and
- responsive to receiving the user input through the first graphical chat interface from the first user, effectuating the first action within the first space interface that presents the first action occurring in the simulated 3-dimensional topography of the virtual space.
