i really hate to be negative here, but i have to say the guys running this kickstarter campaign are doing a terrible job and its breaking my heart, because SHENMUE ! :) bloodstained showed how you do it right.. this kickstarter is presented in the most generic, uninspired way. almost zero communication with the backers, no excitement, no motivation.boring updates & videos, no good background info on shenmue for newcomers. makes me wonder if this is their first kickstarter , or if they even know/played shenmue themselves. the rewards are uninspired & generic as well, so much missed potential from the source material.. *sigh* ah well .. lets make the best of it !

we're only 6 days into a month long campaign, maybe they're trying to trot out the good stuff later on in the month to boost what would otherwise be a stagnant donation period?

I agree. Copied from earlier in the thread.

I'm sure come Monday the kickstarter campaign managers will sort things out. They have been very very busy.
The first announcement of the game crashed the site lol Think about how many questions they have to get through. Yes, we know they were unprepared, but they were still at E3, they had to fly home, get through all 8000 questions, and sort out and do the AMA. Now thats all out of the way I'm sure we will see some more activity coming soon.

A big youtuber has said he might do a playthrough of Shenmue 2.

Tweet at him to make sure he does it:

Is this thing bugged? I've been watching it, and it was 3,481,166 a second ago, and now it's 3,470,912 again...lost another 10k for no apparent reason since the dinners are still the same, just the 1 remaining...it's pissing me off, it's going up so slow it's hurting my insides lol :S

Ahh okay overlooked the jacket tier, someone gave it up...

The guy on Neogaf who bought the $10,000 was a mistake. He said he was always going to change it from the start, and he just has. Thats why 10k just went. Someone will snap it up soon :)

That was the jacket backer though unless if there was a second guy.

I hope so dude, that dinner still hasn't been snapped up! I'd definately be doing it if I had even close to that much money :oops:

Hmm, okay seems a little bit dodgy, but both have just been snapped up...I hope they've gone to true backers and not some trolls again. Seems a bit suspicious since the dinner had been open all day.

And another $3k tier has gone...honestly feels like someone might be doing it on purpose and will give them up just before we hit 3.5mil again. Hope i'm wrong.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. We have 26 days, what happens with 23k in the middle doesn't really matter. Plus, we'll hopefully get a new update when we reach the new stretch goal :)!

Hey there,

Shenmue III was just voted #1 on http://MostAnticipatedGames.com and needs a custom banner to help raise funds. Something like this with proper dimensions would be awesome:
http://i.imgur.com/Ubv1syB.gif

It would be featured on the whole top background of the site and would attract major attention to our campaign.

Thanks!
