A SOCIAL METAVERSE EXPERIENCE!

 

It all started with a simple question:  What if…

What if the immutable blockchain wasn’t quite so immutable?

What if an NFT wasn’t a static image, but rather a living canvas that could evolve over time?

What if your Twitter profile pic could die?

…Or become undead?

Game Overview
ETH Walkers takes place in the small community of Portstown, Louisiana. There’s seemingly nothing out of the ordinary about this rural town. There’s a small college nearby, the state penitentiary, and a local fast food joint called Nerdy Nuggets.

Individuals who mint this project will take on the identity of one of the townsfolk and become a part of the community. It should be a nice break from the hectic pace of our everyday lives.

…Until the zombie apocalypse breaks out.

And then small town life will turn into a game of survival, as zombie NFTs arrive on the scene. These zombie NFTs will be able to “bite” the NFTs of the townsfolk. And when they do…  Well, you know what happens!

And on and on it will go, the zombies multiplying, the humans dwindling, until there are but a few survivors. There will be weapons to be found, factions to join, and a fight to stay alive. But ultimately, when a hoard of zombies is heading your way, there’s only so much you can do to outlast them…

THE ART

ETH Walkers brings generative NFTs to the next level.

Created by Stephen Slesinski, Illustration Director for FX’s Emmy-winning show, Archer, our characters are built using a proprietary algorithm. With our extensive feature set, we are able to generate a unique face for every character, making each NFT its own 1:1 masterpiece!

Your ETH Walker character is your very own, an extension of you in our corner of the metaverse.  With your identity on the line, the stakes are raised and the fight to survive has become personal.

NFTs that CHANGE

Every choice you make could be the difference between survival and undeath.  As you make your way through the game, your decisions and their outcomes get reflected on your NFT. 

Move to a new location on the map…  Your background changes.

Find a knife or a gun…  It appears in your character’s hand.

And of course, following that fateful moment that you character gets bit…  The ultimate transformation will take place!

Over 30,000 traits

ETH Walkers features the largest trait set of any hand-drawn NFT collection to date.  Our diverse character set features males and females, young, middle-aged, and old, as well as six different ethnicities.  And that just the humans!  Every piece of human art has a corresponding zombie counterpart, each with their own mix of cuts, scrapes, and missing pieces.  Every mint is a unique work of art!

Story Elements

ETH Walkers is more than just an NFT you hold in your wallet.  It is more than just a game you can play.

ETH Walkers is a rich metaverse experience with a compelling story that you get to take a role in.

We’ve combined the written word, graphics, and audio to weave the story’s narrative day by day.  Come take a step into the world of Portstown.  Take a stroll down its streets, listen to the news, and meets its people.

We can assure you that there’s more to this town than meets the eye, and the secrets that lie within just may be the key to your survival…

Gameplay

A Social RPG

Each day, ETH Walkers players will connect their wallets to this website and select a series of actions for each of their NFTs.  Every 24 hours, our RPG game engine will process the choices made by each of our players and generate outcomes based on zombie battles, location searches, and weapon steals.  The metadata for the entire ETH Walkers collection will be updated based on these outcomes, changing everyone’s NFT to reflect the events of the game.

In addition to gameplay on this website, the social elements of the game will take place in the ETH Walkers Discord.  There, players can interact with each other to share strategies, form alliances, and work together to survive the game.  As the stakes rise and resources become scarce, will you fight for the good of the community or decide that it’s every man or woman for themselves?

Gameplay Demo

WILL YOU SURVIVE?

In ETH Walkers, rarity is earned, not randomly generated.

100 human NFTs will survive the zombie outbreak. That is only 1% of the mints.

Those who successfully make it out of the game alive will have their ETH Walker NFT ported over into Season 2 of our game to continue their character’s story. They will also receive a bounty of our utility token, along with other special perks for being one of the select few.

Do YOU have what it takes to reach the end?
