Systems and methods for dynamic base development in a three dimensional action game

A computing system for playing a video game, the computing system comprising one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs singularly or collectively executing a method comprising:

• granting to a first user a first base comprising a first three-dimensional section with a first base target;
• providing a first mechanism by which the first user earns game credit through successful completion of one or more campaigns within the game, wherein
• a first campaign in the one or more campaigns poses a single avatar of the first user against a plurality of defendants of a second base in a three dimensional action shooting format in which the single avatar and the plurality of defendants are adverse to each other and use weapons against each other within the second base,
• the single avatar has an ability to use a weapon in three dimensions within the second base during the first campaign, and
• successful completion of the first campaign occurs when the single avatar of the first user infiltrates the second base by compromising a single predetermined second base target associated with the second base;
• providing the first user with a description of a plurality of base upgrades for the first base and a cost associated with each base upgrade in the plurality of base upgrades;
• receiving a selection, from the first user, of a first base upgrade from the plurality of base upgrades;
• deducting the associated cost of the first base upgrade from the game credit associated with the first user acquired through the successful completion of one or more campaigns;
• and
• augmenting the first base with the first base upgrade thereby augmenting a defense of the first base target.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for playing a game, wherein the non-transitory computer readable storage medium is stored on a computing device, the computing device comprising one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, and wherein the one or more programs singularly or collectively comprise instructions for:

• challenging a first user to a first campaign, wherein
• the first campaign poses a single avatar of the first user against a plurality of defendants of a first base in a three dimensional action format in which the avatar and the plurality of defendants are adverse to each other and use weapons against each other within the first base,
• the single avatar has an ability to use a weapon in three dimensions within the first base during the first campaign,
• the first base comprises a first three-dimensional section comprising a single base target, and
• the first base is associated with a second user;
• conducting the first campaign, wherein
• when the first user neutralizes the single base target within a predefined time period, the first user is awarded game credit;
• when the first user fails to neutralize the single base target within the predefined time period, the second user is awarded game credit;
• providing the second user with a description of a plurality of base upgrades for the first base and a cost associated with each base upgrade in the plurality of base upgrades;
• receiving a selection, from the second user, of a first base upgrade from the plurality of base upgrades;
• deducting the associated cost of the first base upgrade from the game credit associated with the second user;
• and
• augmenting the first base with the first base upgrade thereby augmenting a defense of the first base target.
