Systems and methods employing rule based techniques for handling virtual entity manifestation into gameplay modes in accordance with gameplay restrictions of the individual gameplay modes. The system may comprise a host server including one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules. The computer program modules may comprise a game module configured to execute an instance of the online game and to facilitate participation in one or more gameplay modes, a rule module configured to maintain rules corresponding to the restrictions for manifesting virtual entities into the individual gameplay modes, a creation module configured to create manifests including information corresponding to the rules for each gameplay mode, a determination module configured to determine which rules to apply to the virtual entities, and an application module configured to apply the rules according to the determinations.

Aspects include systems, devices, and methods for evaluating a source dependency graph and animation curve with a game system. The dependency graph may be evaluated at an interactive rate during execution of a game. The animation curve may describe change in a state of a control element over time. Subnetworks of the dependency graph may be identified and evaluated using a plurality of processors.
