New videos offer players a glimpse of upcoming virtual island concepts and introduce customized dwellings and other in-game features
BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS, MALAGA, SPAIN and TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2021 / Oasis Digital Studios Limited ("Oasis"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:LQID)(OTCQB:LQAVF)(FRA:4T51), a leader in blockchain powered digital identity solutions that empower individuals, governments and businesses to protect and monetize brand new identity driven business models in both the real world and the metaverse, is pleased to announce that its metaverse client Aftermath Islands has unveiled a series of new houses and other dwellings that players will be able to purchase in an upcoming release for placement on their Virtual Land (VL). Liquid Avatar subsidiary Oasis Digital Studios Limited is the exclusive agency for virtual land and items, NFTs, business development and promotion of Aftermath Islands.
This next step in the evolution of the Aftermath Islands Metaverse is a result of great early success from its Phase 1 Sale of Virtual Land NFTs last week, including a sold out Musk Manor Island, in which purchasers are able to use cryptocurrencies or PayPal and credit cards via the Shopify App Waxify. The houses and dwellings are being showcased on the Aftermath Islands website.
Finally, Aftermath Islands has further revealed upcoming new island concepts featuring jungle and desert themes, and is giving players a glimpse of the types of early experiences planned for the platform on the Aftermath Islands YouTube channel.
NEW ITEMS ARE THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG IN EXPANSION OF AFTERMATH ISLANDS METAVERSE
Houses are just the beginning of the virtual items and add-ons planned by Aftermath Islands. A wide range of dwelling, infrastructure, weapons, tools, vehicles, and other playable items are planned for in-game acquisition through purchases, quests, and other promotions. Additionally, Aftermath Islands is developing opportunities for 3D creators to participate and earn revenue from their designs, increasing the in-game economy and activating the gaming and 3D community globally.
"These new items are the tip of the creative and in-game iceberg as Aftermath Islands creates more digital goods and services itself and includes industry and innovative creators to help build the metaverse and benefit from its growth," said David Lucatch, CEO Liquid Avatar Technologies, and Managing Director Oasis Digital Studios. "Aftermath Islands provides Oasis and Liquid Avatar Technologies a new and innovative opportunity to expose our core digital identity and avatar programs directly to the metaverse as we work to build value for all our stakeholders."
These new items will be the first interactive Non-Fungible Tokens ("NFTs") that can be used for in-game activities in Aftermath Islands. In-game items, including houses, have been specifically designed for certain theme, community, and estate islands, making them complementary to the location.
First edition, limited availability houses start at $40 USD and will be delivered as NFTs. The sale of houses and other items will begin prior to the start of Los Angeles Comic Con on December 3-5, 2021 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
LIQUID AVATAR TO SHOWCASE AFTERMATH ISLANDS AT LOS ANGELES COMIC CON IN DECEMBER WITH SPONSORSHIP, PRIME BOOTH SPACE AND MAINSTAGE METAVERSE PANEL
Liquid Avatar Technologies is the Digital Innovation Partner at this year's Los Angeles Comic Con ("LACC") and will share its 1,500 square feet of booth space with Oasis - Booth #1241 - and will conduct a Mainstage panel and other panels and is administering an augmented reality scavenger hunt for participants at the event. Prior to the pandemic, more than 123,000 people attended the last live LACC in 2019. Other exclusive events and limited-edition sales are also planned for this event.
On Aftermath Islands, players can own VL, participate in quests, hang out with friends and colleagues, shop and more, all through their connected devices. The island program allows progression based on computing power to move from a first-person gaming type experience to augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) as computing power and bandwidth continues to accelerate. Commercial applications like eCommerce, virtual conference and more are in the early planning stage and will allow enterprises to quickly take advantage of the growing metaverse opportunity.
On November 4, 2021, Aftermath Islands launched its VL sales for Phase 1 of its metaverse platform on Shopify using the Waxify App offering Digital Collectibles on the Wax blockchain. While some key land has already sold out, a limited number of single plots of VL representing 1,000 square meters are still available at introductory prices starting at $35 USD, and larger limited parcels of VL starting with four and as large as 100 plots are also still available.
According to Aftermath Islands, just over 7,500 parcels on themed, community and estate islands, with an aggregate opening list value of approximately $1.4 million USD, have been released in the opening sale with other phases currently in development. VL purchases can be made with fiat (traditional currencies), as well as select cryptocurrencies, using PayPal and Coinbase, with no gas fees, and with assets automatically dropped to connected wallets.
OASIS STUDIOS EXCLUSIVE AGENCY AGREEMENT PROVIDES POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT REVENUE AND EQUITY IN AFTERMATH ISLANDS METAVERSE
Aftermath Islands is under an exclusive agency contract with Oasis, which will receive up to 30% of the revenue from all sales, including primary VL and items, a portion of land and item resales, property management fees, together with a significant grant of VL, and exercisable equity in the platform. The Liquid Avatar Mobile App is also slated to play a role to support digital credentials required to manage Aftermath Islands metaverse accounts and asset verification.
All Aftermath Islands' players will also have the ability to create a Liquid Avatar account allowing them to manage their digital identity and certain "crossover" assets and activities connecting their in-game activities to their real-world activities and engagement. Potential opportunities include managing avatars, items, integrated AR events and programs, and purchasing conventional items like sneakers or trainers through KABN KASH and earning exclusive bonuses, like matching digital assets for use in Aftermath Islands.
According to Aftermath Islands, limited brand and private island partnerships that will allow consumer, entertainment, sports, DeFi, fintech, and commercial organizations to build and manage their own experiences inside the Aftermath Islands metaverse are currently in discussion.
Aftermath Islands advises that in the coming months, updated white papers and technical reviews will be available, the initial governing council will be formed, and additional themes, new communities, and estates will open allowing players to own VL across a wide range of islands. For entertainment, financial, game, product, and other brands, select island environments will allow commercial operations and ownership, providing enterprises with the tools to create and support economic opportunities.

About Aftermath Islands - www.aftermathislands.com
Aftermath Islands as first described in the initial whitepaper published in 2017 and then subsequently updated, was based on the premise of a water-world with islands that represented destinations in a global virtual game. Since then, the Aftermath Islands metaverse has evolved and now represents exciting themed based islands, communities, and estates where players can experience a wide range of adventures and opportunities.
In Aftermath Islands' virtual world, users can buy, develop, trade, and sell Virtual Land (VL), property and assets, like buildings, crafted items, transport, and other items all through NFTs, a non-fungible token that represents the ownership of virtual and other assets. Each plot or parcel of VL is unique and owners get to choose what content they want to publish on their VL. This can range from simple scenery and structures to an interactive game, store, warehouse, dwelling, facility, or destination. Users can purchase VL as well as all other goods and services in Aftermath Islands with CREDITS, the current code name for in-game currency, fiat and other authorized currencies, coins, and tokens.
Aftermath Islands is a shared virtual world, much like the Metaverse described by author Ernest Cline in his science-fiction novels Ready Player One and Ready Player Two. Expected to launch mid-2022, Aftermath Islands will allow users to connect and interact with each other, create content, craft, participate in activities and quests and play games. Aftermath Islands will have a virtual economy where users can engage in a myriad of in-world economic transactions as well as monetize the content, items, quests, and applications they build.
