“Los Angeles Comic Con represents an amazing opportunity for Liquid Avatar Technologies, Oasis Digital Studios, and its clients to introduce all our offerings, including a new metaverse platform, Aftermath Islands, to potentially tens of thousands of gamers, comic book, anime, and other industry fans and players,” said David Lucatch CEO – Liquid Avatar and Managing Director – Oasis. “With Phase 1 Virtual Land sales well on the way and a host of new items and surprises planned over the next several weeks together with exclusive event items, we believe that LACC is the perfect venue to accelerate awareness and players for Aftermath Islands.”
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. Buyers may purchase VL with fiat, (traditional currencies), as well as select cryptocurrencies using PayPal and Coinbase, with no gas fees, and then have the assets automatically dropped to their connected wallets.
Aftermath Islands is a planned metaverse, which is under an exclusive agency contract with Oasis. Previews are available for all themed, community and estate islands. Additional assets, such as thematic dwellings designed for each island, are under development along with other interactive items which will also ultimately be available for sale as NFTs. All NFTs can be resold at the discretion of the holder using 3rd party unaffiliated marketplaces and private sale programs.
Aftermath Islands is designed to provide online users with theme-based first-person, AR and virtual reality (VR) experiences, quests, games, and integrated eCommerce activities, creating a virtual world supported by users and brands. Under its exclusive agency contract, Oasis, 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 have access to create a Liquid Avatar account allowing them to manage their digital identity and certain “crossover” assets and activities connecting in-game activities to 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.
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 counsel 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.
