We are happy to conclude the Totem Legacy Jam!

The first Totem Legacy Jam took place between June 24-30 and featured five games interconnected through Legacy Events for the first time. 

Jam Concept

Games in the game jam are connected through Legacy Events, allowing player assets to carry consequences between the different games. You can think of those as achievements that any developer can write, and also read to interpret and give them meaning in their own game. This creates persistency, and enables collaboration between the creators!

The jam's theme was "Circular History". 

• Every team chose one period in history.
  
• Each game affects the game following it in a circle.
• Some games interpret other games as well.  Games from later periods can still affect games from earlier periods!
• All games are referencing a player avatar that was created specifically for the game jam.
• Teams were using an open-source Unity plugin that handles all the behind-the-scenes and features a simple-to-use API
