Billionaire Zombies Club: These zombies aren't brainless, they're building.

BZC, and the Orbit Metaverse

The one year anniversary of the Billionaire Zombies Club last October will always be a day to remember. We celebrated it in a stone cathedral with stained glass everywhere. It kind of reminded me of something you would see in Stormwind.  The cathedral was on a server built on the Interplanetary Filing System. It was a preview of what is yet to come for our future. 

It was also a big celebration because the community managed to successfully raise tens of thousands of dollars to earn all the benefits the developers were offering. 

Personally, I felt like I was on the ground floor of something you know is going to be really good, and not to many people have even caught on to it yet.  

It's been 6 months since that day, and there has been a lot of development. Very soon, the zombies will be walking around as fully rigged 3d avatars, and have there own personal apartment that they will be able to customize. 


This is a video of an apartment from another project that's going to be on there as well, and the graphics are first rate. 

There is a lot more coming in stages down the road, such as our own lobby area. Where we will be able to socialize. Decorated up with lavish interiors, and dystopian exteriors. Fitting for a billionaire zombie in an apocalyptic world.

Finally, the final stage of the roadmap we're creating monetized 3d experiences, that will be compatible with consoles, mobiles, and VR.

To me this is probably the most intriguing thing about this development. Orbits will be operating on the Interplanetary Filing System, which means it could virtually go on forever, rent free, and decentralized.

No official release date as of yet, when I can post more details from developers I will. They run a tight ship, but I can say that they have conveyed confidence that something is pending in the immediate future.

During the lull of waiting for the developers, the zombie team have been promoting events in the Discord community, and on Twitter. They have been having game nights with BZC themed games made by a member of the community named Kedals. Also community members Skybound, and Srob, have been doing a lot of collaborations with other projects, and throwing white lists for minting other top shelf projects around like candy.

Wave 2

On April 20th, was the re-release of their 10,000 zombie pfp collection in restyled 4k graphics. 

One of the most notable changes in what was dubbed "Wave 2,"  was the removal of firearms from the pictures. 

I asked for an official statement from the team leader of BZC, Johnny, to explain the reasoning behind that decision to remove firearms, and this is what he said.

"As we grow and evolve in the space and attention comes towards us we want to be welcoming to all people. Part of our Core Pillars is “Positive Impact”, as we continue to align ourselves among these organizations we want to be as brand friendly as possible. The world is an interesting place, and sometimes you have to make a decision to change something you love - for us, it was Art we had since 2021. As we turn a new page, we look forward to all there is to come and growing the brand of BZC." -J

I also inquired about Axman J, the original artist of the zombies if he had any reservations about the restyling of his original graphics, and was assured that he was fine with the new changes.

Also, a shout out to our wave 2 artist Bobby. He did an awesome recreating the zombie's art!


                                                          The DAO

A couple of months ago the Billionaire Zombie club's DAO Constitution was formally voted on, and ratified. Bass Buddha, spent almost a year writing it up, and Zombie Momma, did the painstaking legwork of Incorporating an LLC DAO in the state of Wyoming, for us.

If you own a Skeleton King you have a vote on the DAO, and if there ever is a day where there is liquidity to gain, you will be a recipient. So, it's good to be a king. 

ZADDYS

The most recent project was the minting of a fractionalized NFT. It was a zombified version of Sandeep Nailwal, the cofounder Polygon, MATIC.

He Tweeted this to a quarter of a million followers. 

Amazing!
made Zaddy - a 1/1 NFT that features a zombie version of me.

They then partnered with 
to make NFT-backed editions of the NFT allowing communities from the 
NFT Ecosystem to own it together. Interesting developments on 
NFT ecosystem! 

Here's Zaddy!

An Overview of the Billionaire Zombies Club

 

Where Did the Billionaire Zombies Come From?

During the Great Flippening, more billionaires were created than ever before in history.

But that didn’t last.

It became an era when the world suffered a prolonged series of epic disasters. Disease ravaged the world, North America pretty much caught fire, the entire Gulf of Mexico was in flames from an oil spill, volcanos suddenly erupted in the Indian Ocean (who knew?), and a meteor strike took out Greenland.

You name it, it happened. It was a perfect storm of world disasters, and there are too many to list here. Some turned to their religion. Others spent their resources on failed rockets to Mars. But mostly, people partied like it was the End of the World.

And then, the world went dark.

That brings us to TODAY. The ice begins to melt as the planet realigns its rotational axis and the magnetic field stabilizes.

The Zombies and Skeleton Kings awakened during this Great Thaw and were the only “people” left on the planet. So, now that you’re all caught up on the history of the End of the World, a new Beginning emerges.

You should ask yourself: Do you build a better civilization for all, or do you create a zombie kingdom that only you can rule?

With that, go forth and rebuild a new world in your image!

---


That is the lore from the game, but I am going to go back further. It was the end of October 2021, and the zombies started coming to life in the form of newly minted ERC 721 NFT's.  They sold out all 10,000 zombies on November 12th. (I remember because I bought my first Zombie an hour after they sold out.)

An artist named AxMan J created the zombies, and One, our mysterious benefactor, whom has never been doxxed, was so smitten by the zombies, he formed a unique collaboration with Axman J. He is one of the masterminds behind getting us the game, and the creation of the DAO.  (BZC Tokens)

A rather vague statement began to randomly appear within the BZC Discord community. "Remember the assignment."  At first I wasn't sure what the assignment was, but I soon figured it out. The developers wanted us to HODL our zombies and covet them for what was yet to come. 


Zombie



Shortly thereafter, things got even more interesting. The Billionaire Zombies Club created their own  cryptocurrency called BZC tokens, and made a DAO for the community. When they dropped the BZC tokens, people who held zombies were dropped thousands of BZC tokens for the upcoming game. 

When they dropped the BZC tokens, millions were donated to charities so that they can be purchased from them to be able to be used in the upcoming game.
 
Then, original members who minted, and still held on to their zombies, were air dropped "Skeleton Keys!"  

2D Skeleton Key

If you own a "Skeleton Key," you were able to mint a "Skeleton King," using the BZC tokens, and if you owned a "Skeleton King," you will be able to become part of the "King's Counsel"  The "Skeleton Kings" have a unique utility in game, and have a vote as part of the DAO community. 

Skeleton King



Once you spent your BZC tokens with the original "2D Skeleton Key," it turned into a "3D Skeleton Key," which will have future utility and special benefits for the people who hang on to them. "2D Skeleton Keys" can still be purchased, and used to mint a "Skeleton King," but the "3D Skeleton Keys" cannot at this time. To date, the "King's Counsel" has yet to determine what they will be used for in the future. They are still considered to be valuable, and worth holding on to.


3D Skeleton Key

Barely 2 months into the project, we had our Zombies, Skeleton Keys, Skeleton Kings, and our own DAO, but the developers were not done yet. Soon afterwards we were air dropped Meta Crystals. Another item with utility that would be redeemed with BZC tokens to create new in game items for the game that is still being developed at this time.

Meta Crystal


These are some of the items that were redeemed from the Meta Crystals.

BZC Token Boost
 

BZC Health


BZC Weapon


They even have a couple of rare mounts. A BZC Steed, and a BZC Vehicle, which kind of looks like a Hummer with a machine gun mounted on it.

BZC Steed





BZC Vehicle


These are probably the most exciting assets available. Some of the Meta Crystals gave a rare drop to some lucky owners, a Castle, or a Mansion! 

BZC Castle



BZC Mansion



What this means is, you will be able to buy and own land in the game! If you were lucky enough to redeem, or buy a Castle, or a Mansion, your land will already be included in the game. The rest of us are going to have to save up our BZC tokens to be able to purchase land in the game.

---

The most recent accomplishment is the release of the BZC Portal. This is where our DAO, and our BZC tokens, are going to be creating value to our community. What good is it to have a cryptocurrency if you can't buy anything with it? Soon, you will be able to purchase ALL of your BZC assets in one secure, easy to use location. You will also have the option of using MATIC, or BZC tokens! If you are worried about buying a counterfeit BZC asset on Opensea, you won't have to much longer, because you will be able to buy them on the BZC Portal.

The Game:

As of right now, they have kept the game under tight lock and key for proprietary reasons. Many questions, and mystery surround it. Tidbits of information have been trickling out, and we have found ourselves salivating for every morsel of information we can get from the developer during the AMA's. 

What we have learned is the undoxxed game developer used to work for World of Warcraft as a lead animator. He has been working on this project on his own time for the past 5 years.  

In order to find out the latest developments on the upcoming game. Go to the BZC Portal link. Down below, is the latest up to date information about the game so far. 

---

The heart of the game and the first thing you’ll need is $BZC. $BZC is the currency that all the zombies in this world understand and will accept. So earning those precious tokens will lead to power and/or success––no matter your goals.

Use your $BZC for good or evil. Your choice. We won’t judge.

How Do I Get My Hands On $BZC?

Many of the current zombie owners already have $BZC, and you can also buy it on the BZC Charity Swap, or find it on decentralized exchanges. But who is satisfied with what they have? Since this is an ever-expanding world, the best way to earn more $BZC is to send (stake) your Zombies on Expeditions and explore the treasures of the Old World.

But like all adventures, there are risks.

What Are Expeditions?

Expeditions are adventures that your Zombies can go on to discover valuable Artifacts. But, like all things in life, Expeditions have a cost. This is where the $BZC comes in. Expeditions are funded by the day, whether it’s a single-day jaunt or a 10 day epic adventure. It’s all your choice.

All you need to do is select your zombie and choose how many days you’d like them to explore this brave new world.

Before We Go Any Further, Let’s Talk About The Game

That’s a very good question. It is also hard to point to a game that it’s similar to, but here are the basics:
  • The game is about exploration and re-discovering items of value in this new world.
  • The game will be rolled out in Chapters over time as we expand the world.
  • The world is pre-rendered in a 3D isometric view.
  • The First Chapter leads to the Zombies establishing their place in an emerging Metaverse.

I Funded An Expedition, What Happens Next?

Great! You’re on your way. No matter the number of days you’ve funded, you will receive results the following day, and every day after that for however many days you’ve funded.

The Expedition Log is where you’ll track your Zombies as they work their way through their adventures. Along the way, your Zombies will acquire Artifacts.

What Are Artifacts?

Artifacts are remnants of the Old World before the Great Thaw. Items from the past might have held little worth, but now they’ve become valuable.

For the initial release, Artifacts can be held or sold after you successfully complete an Expedition. Each Artifact has its own market value, and when you return from your Expedition, you can sell those items for $BZC in the upcoming Marketplace.

In the upcoming Chapters, Artifacts may gain additional game utility through activities like crafting.

Dangers Might Befall Your Expedition

We call this an Encounter. This new world has amazing things to reveal, and you very well might encounter creatures, events, or other players that could destroy or take your Artifacts or that you can acquire Artifacts from.

How Can I Better My Odds Of Winning An Encounter?

You can group some of your Zombies into one Expedition Party and this will increase your odds of success for Encounters and finding Artifacts.

Is There An Advantage To Owning A Skeleton King?

Yes! The Skeleton King is the most influential member of your collection. The Skeleton Kings are natural leaders and having one in your Expedition Party will make each Zombie stronger.

What About the Rest of the Metaverse Collection?

Don’t worry, the rest of the collection will be addressed as we head into the release of the game. We have a plan, and there’s plenty of room to leverage all the assets you already have, as well as new ones we’re going to deliver.

As of the date of this post, the floor is reasonably priced to get in on this project. 

My personal opinion is to acquire a Zombie first. From there, if you are interested in having a little more brains in the game, acquire a Skeleton King. Still though, do your own research. This is not financial advice.

If you got a little extra dough burning a hole in your pocket I figured I might as well give a quick plug to the BZC Merch Shop!  Here's my pitch to buy a T-shirt! How cool would it be to wake up a zombie after the Great Thawing sporting a BZC T-shirt(I'm trying folks!) Anyways, here is the BZC Merch link!

If anyone in the BZC Fam find any incorrect information here, please let me know, and I will update post. 

 Information gleaned from Billionaire Zombies Club is from personal research. Opinions are mine. 

Peace!
