Within the span of a few hours I received two responses from the Kickstarter team regarding having a Shenmue Exhibition. As expected, it would require permission from Sega which would take some time.
Hello Amir,
We at the Kickstarter team are delighted to hear of fans wanting to support Shenmue in this way.
I have taken the liberty to forward your message to the Ys Net team.
We will contact you with their response as soon as we can.
Thank you very much for all your support.
Sincerely,

Hello Amir,
We have already gotten a response concerning the Shenmue exhibition.
In order for us to officially support a project like this, and possibly provide you with artwork or other things , we will first need Sega's permission since they own the rights to Shenmue.
We would have to submit your project to Sega for review, and it will most likely take a lot of time until the details with Sega are worked out.
In regards to this we would like to ask you there is already a planned schedule of when the exhibition would take place.
Also if you would have any mock-ups, documents or material that would give us a concrete idea of the exhibition, please forward these to our email
(
[email protected] ) so we can present them to Sega for review.
If you have any more questions feel free to contact us through here or through email.
Thanks again for your support.
Best regards,
Oscar &
The Shenmue 3 Kickstarter Team
I'm currently writing a piece on Shenmue but once that is done I'll spend the rest of the week coming up with mock-ups and documents for the exhibition. If anyone else wants to help that would be amazing!
