Totem Player Experience

A Persistent virtual identity

Totem shared assets give the players an opportunity to own a virtual identity that can be carried across games. Up until now in video games, you could take the role of different entities, anywhere from playing a single character to controlling vast civilizations. Those entities were limited to a single game, but with Totem, you can now take your identity from one game to another. This means that the stories that you'll be able to tell with these games are going to be connected in different ways.

Players can now own unique assets, like an Avatar for example, that have certain properties that are manifested similarly in every game they play. The actions and decisions made with those avatars may carry between games, even games that didn't come out yet. This allows for new experiences to emerge, which means that as game developers you have a wonderful new tool to tell new stories in ways that weren't possible before.

True Ownership

Totem assets provide complete, real ownership of assets. Those assets are not controlled by anyone and they do not dependent on the ability of someone else to provide you a service, like a company or centralized server for example. When you own a Totem Asset you own it completely - it can be used in any Totem-enabled game, it can be traded and it can be gifted. This means as a player you shouldn't be busy thinking about the long-term use of the item, because the more games there are on the platform the more use you can potentially get from the asset, and even if you decide you don't want to use it anymore it can always be sold or given away.
