As we assess our progress and look at our pocketbooks, we have come to the conclusion that the presale is no longer going to be in effect. It closes officially today. It has been 7 months since we announced it, and figure anyone that wanted in, is already in. With that in mind, the very early adopters of my dream game, will have some surprise extra perks they won't be expecting for supporting us at the onset. Thank you for believing in the vision and I hope all of you are still as gung ho as I am! Currently, I am actively seeking private investors and am seriously considering creating a proposal. It is scary water though, considering the reception #splinterlands has gotten. But, you never know if you don't try, right? The other option would be to plug into some Venture Capital resources. Not at the top of the list, but development has been slowed down with the dwindling resources available and it is going to take longer than projected with the lack of interest from the Hive audience. Just is what it is. ![NISMbar.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/23vrfn4H5yf35ydfkzEiuFxqArmk4SrQ8hwWBf757F85DBBzVRRRjszvznvFGjCizcpPx.png) ![Announcements-Icon.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/AKAonaNU74kiWi7RmRTH7axiWFkBdF8UteWL3xJ2rFYGcwfsjoNyNeQeoxxq5Vo.gif)|![Event-Horizon-Icon.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/AJoDzx5wTcnLuYu6GajjTjFENjz5HYpMuXocmi36hsQAGN9XV4iXrA5GNpkfJK1.gif) -|- ![Gamers-Guild-Icon.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/AJithJ5XnTysXyJxEepuU9B864RGPvw2oY9HQ3RoMCEJPEfzTkwuexuiPiDQtQ8.gif)|![Home-Icon.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/AKCFit1RXHmXYv7N6D5h2ioN9jK4N5AvujqQtyh5k5BXzpY2x3cRqNxKHBbqMfT.gif) -|- ![Players-Club-Icon.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/AJoE24vYjyiMZU6uQ4pTbCCxuo9Jf5qh6yeXX9KfcUUJ32A3jsEXAwgh4nG6UHq.gif)|![Retail-Central-Icon.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/AJmnArPMPkLdF4qeU5x49kZFJqL4CTdxXZEzcfe2Fq28eywbF3hkWG7eB8BooxP.gif)|![Settings-Icon.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/AJiuj2jMox56Q78nbGAi9eYe9bo5XuTrr5MXwvn9G7r1eBdNTZ8xcMR4ZJSR9H6.gif) -|-|- ![Snack-Shack-Icon.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/AJmnUpVY9ucd1pxbH174dvwkJWhMaoonH97PnwEfQg6PMfo3bXZFt7vxnAnSLH3.gif)|![The-Repo-Depot-Icon.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/AJiufnPiUxAWeHrxdcWWiHrKDFVVzNRNHFs2RryWE2NjV37Nw3VnCfjkemoAnRP.gif) -|- ![The-Merit-Outlet-Icon.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/AJmnU9eAP7MMAfdrtyVva49XmHeWKitsHXVYMox2tpq6HSF3QBkynDDR3SbW1Qw.gif)|![Trade-Center-Icon.gif](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/AK54BQuRgoqGLzfBv2JZ3oJ1vDM7YrCP5fiAaSkqD4nNDiAk67c48DxBxfqsSCJ.gif) -|- ## GRAPHICS! I am extremely pleased the way these all turned out! These particular throbbing icons, will be seen as menu choices and as you hover or opt to choose them, they will start the pulsing. Really cool in my opinion. Wish I could play already! We also have tons of other icons and graphics we can show you in the next post. At this time, we have about three dozen 3D modelled NISMs and game characters. We've accomplished spawning them wherever we want and are currently classifying them all as we move into autumn. We're staying busy, don't worry 😇 ![NISMbar.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/nism/23vrfn4H5yf35ydfkzEiuFxqArmk4SrQ8hwWBf757F85DBBzVRRRjszvznvFGjCizcpPx.png) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0blpPwLJ3XA

Well, I liked seeing them, and I hope you are keen on what you have seen so far. NISM will be completed and regularly updated after its release and I already have plans for a few derivatives of the game, plus, awesome quest lines and new ways to earn as you play.
