Upland's Evolution with Totems

Upland, the innovative property trading and city-building game on the WAX blockchain, is embarking on a new journey with the introduction of Totems – a captivating addition that intertwines the concept of life simulation with the virtual realm of property ownership.

Upland Totems mark the inception of a distinctive life simulation feature that promises to revolutionize the gameplay experience. Totems, described as living game assets, take center stage by being strategically placed on the game map. The introductory phase boasts 11 diverse Totems, thoughtfully distributed across five chapters. Among the inaugural releases are the enchanting Palm Tree and the mesmerizing Dragonfly Totems.

The path to acquiring Totems is through the enigmatic Mystery Passes. These coveted passes will be available for purchase at different intervals in the Upland Store. However, potential buyers must register before the sales commence to secure their chance of obtaining a Totem.

Anticipation Builds: Registration and Launch Dates

As excitement mounts, registration for the first Totem sale kicks off on August 2nd. Stay updated by visiting the official Totems page for the latest announcements and developments.

Each Totem boasts a distinct set of five visual traits, encompassing attributes like Life Form, Style, Color, Scale, and Totem Base. The intriguing array of variations within these traits ensures that each Totem emerges as a genuinely one-of-a-kind entity, reflecting a unique combination of features. These traits not only influence the Totem's appearance but also its characteristics and the rewards it generates, known as Protem.

At the core of this captivating system lies the primary currency, Stem. While awaiting the official release of Stem, players will temporarily employ a substitute currency called Protem. Care and sustenance are paramount to a Totem's well-being. Over a 30-day cycle, players must attend to their Totems' needs, feeding them with the allocated currencies. At the cycle's culmination, players are rewarded with Protem, the quantity of which hinges on the quality of care provided. Balancing the fine line between underfeeding and overfeeding adds an intriguing farming mini-game dynamic to Upland.

Embarking on this Totem adventure comes with an initial supply of Protem to aid players in commencing their nurturing journey. This generous supply is designed to facilitate players in their first steps towards mastering the art of Totem care.

Exploring Complexity: The Official Totem Guide

For those eager to delve deeper into the intricacies of the Totem system, Upland has thoughtfully crafted an official Totem Guide. This resource-rich guide serves as a comprehensive reference point, unraveling the complexity of Totem mechanics.

Upland extends beyond Totems, offering a free-to-play haven where players can indulge in property trading, city-building, and engaging interactions. Passive UPX earnings are a unique feature, accruing as players possess properties and even when others interact with these properties. Collections, events, and competitions enrich the gameplay, allowing players to earn UPX and enjoy the dynamic world of Upland.

Upland's evolution showcases its expansion, encompassing numerous cities and opportunities for creativity. Plot customization empowers players to construct buildings and adorn properties in diverse ways. Moreover, players can even own shops, selling their personalized Block Explorers within the game, further enhancing the multifaceted nature of Upland's universe.
