Oasis to manage virtual land and item sales, NFTs, business development and promotion supporting theme-based islands, virtual communities, and estates.

 

Toronto, Canada / Bridgetown, Barbados - Malaga, Spain – TheNewswire - October 13, 2021 – Oasis Digital Studios Limited (“Oasis”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:LQID) / (OTC:LQAVF) / (FRA:4T51) / (CNSX:LQID.CN), a global blockchain, digital identity and fintech solutions company, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement to be the exclusive agency for virtual land and items, NFTs, business development and promotion for a new, in-development metaverse, Aftermath Islands,  which will provide online users with theme-based first-person, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) experiences, quests, games, and integrated eCommerce activities, creating a virtual world supported by users and brands.  Oasis will receive up to 30% of the revenue from all sales, including primary Virtual Land (“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.

In Aftermath Islands, a thematic virtual world consisting of genre specific islands, communities and estates, users can buy, develop, trade, and sell VL, other property and assets such as buildings, crafted items, transport, and others - 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, digital coins, and tokens.

Initially, VL will be available as NFTs, convertible into property when the metaverse launches, which is expected mid-2022.  Limited VL will be available in virtual single lots measuring approximately 1000m2, allowing for a dwelling, game, or business, where applicable, to operate on the property.  A selection of multiple lots and larger parcels will also be available on a first-come, first-served basis.  The first 5 theme-based islands, 5 community islands, 10 estate islands, and other items are expected to become available for sale later this month, October 2021 according to Aftermath Islands, with up to 7,500 parcels of Virtual Land NFTs with a potential retail value of up to $1.4 Million USD available in Phase 1.  Additional phases are being developed that will include new and exciting themes, communities and estates.

Aftermath Islands, with the support of Oasis, is exploring brand partnerships that will allow consumer, entertainment, sports, and commercial organizations to build and manage their own experiences inside the Aftermath Islands metaverse and co-operative programs with other metaverses that will allow interoperability across platforms.  

All Aftermath Islands’ players will also have access to create a Liquid Avatar account allowing them to manage their digital identity and certain cross over assets and activities connecting their in-game activities to their real-world activities and engagement.  Potential opportunities include managing avatars, items, integrated Augmented Reality (AR) events and programs, and purchasing conventional items like sneakers or trainers through KABN KASH and receiving exclusive bonuses, like a matching digital pair for use in Aftermath Islands.

“Metaverses are potentially poised to be the next breakthrough in online entertainment, eCommerce, virtualization and virtual asset ownership.  Major companies like Facebook, Epic and others are staking their claims to this evolution and its dynamic growth opportunity.  We believe that Oasis’ exclusive agreement and potential equity partnership with Aftermath Islands, provides the opportunity for our organization to get in early on this new and exciting area of online growth, digital asset development and credential management,” said David Lucatch, Managing Director Oasis Digital Studios and CEO Liquid Avatar Technologies.  “Metaverse applications have the ability to integrate “real” and “virtual” worlds together, creating more opportunities for Avatars and digital identity to exist cross-verse and opening up new and innovative growth and revenue programs for Oasis, the Liquid Avatar Mobile App and Liquid Avatar Technologies.”

Aftermath Islands advises that in the coming months, updated white papers and technical reviews, the initial governing counsel, additional themes, new communities, and estates will open allowing players to own Virtual Land across a wide range of islands.  For commercial, entertainment, financial, game, product, and other brands, select island environments will allow commercial operations and ownership, allowing for enterprises to create 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.
