Helping Dreams Come True - NISM

Donation protected
Hello! I am Justin LaFountain, father to the three angels in the picture. I am the (one of the) designer(s) and creator of NISM. This fundraiser is for NISM, a mobile gaming experience that we have all grown in excitement to build.

I originally had a long 2 page spill on who I was, but have realized - it's not even about me. It's about my daughters, and helping them make a dream come true for us. They asked me, "Daddy, we should do a video game, can we do that?" I promised it would happen somehow.

They're very creative. All three of them are budding artists and that is what I would love to foster by letting you be a part of that! From fashion to food art and puppet shows to graphics - I am just in love with it all. Let's meet them, shall we?

The Princess of Life and Love


Instead of coloring, she redesigned the picture for someone else to color!



Some concept art that she has created too.

As you can see, they do have some talent. What a better way to nurture that talent with our growing technological advances, than by featuring their creations in a video game! One I hope everyone plays and it virally takes the world by a habitual storm! Now, let's get into some boring details. If you want to skip all that and donate now, simply scroll down and tap/click the necessary buttons. Thank you in advance.


I've put over $45,000 USD into this game already and will need quite a bit more. I have almost exhausted my funds and am really looking for help. This is my dream too - to build a game I want to play and bolster my daughters' beliefs!

NISM is an AR (Augmented Reality) game where you are a character that has the ability to understand other orgaNISMs via a device that was invented and is worn by your avatar. This device is crucial to learn about while playing the game as most of the interaction outside of adventuring and exploring will be done through it. Think of Fallout meets Pokemon Go meets Gacha Life meets SIMS! And the best part? It's for ages 8 to 108!

One of the subtle beauties of this game is ownership. Coming through Google Play, people will be able to own, buy and sell different cosmetic items, the NISMs themselves, consumables, and other various things within the game. It will have a full blown economy where the smart person could make some real money! We will even have an affiliate option for those to earn some extra if they think their friends will like it!

The funds you allot us here, will be used to build out the game in its entirety. The bulk of that is development and server costs. Please, help make some dreams come true. The final $15,000 will be used to set up savings accounts for the young ladies, to further their artistic pursuits, that already have their artistry featured in the game.

The basic estimated breakdown for costs are as follows:
  • $10,000 for server hosting (for the first year)
  • $10,000 for legal costs and licensing fees
  • $50,000 to software development
  • $15,000 to system administration for marketing, etc
  • $ 15,000 for savings accounts for the girls

If you would like to contribute or help in another way, find me in our discord server and let's chat! You can also keep up with us on Twitter! Thank you again, for your time and consideration in making dreams a reality.
