They still need to make the new tiers, that will bring something more to the table.
I'd love if they made the 500 tier to 400, a new 750 and 1000 tier. Those should be basic.

If that's an average day then it'll make another $1.5 million, meaning it'll finish around $5 million dollars. Kickstarters tend to serge at the end so it'll probably do a bit more than that. Hopefully.
If Sony really do double the Kickstarter or if that $10 million figure includes other investors, then everything should be okay.
If not, then a lot of us are going to have to sell non-essential organs. Hell maybe even essential organs, who is willing to make that sacrifice?

It's looking like it could be tough for us to get that much though. Right now 6 million seems to be the figure that many people are saying it will most likely finish at. I really really hope it can somehow make the 10 million though!

KidMarine wrote:The Witcher 3 was made on $15 million and that is about 50 times bigger than Shenmue 1 and 2 combined with a similar amount of detail. Obviously it'll cost more to make a game in Japan than Poland, but I think it should be very possible to make a game comparable in scope to the first two on $10 million.

That is why I think they aren't. They know us Shenmue fans are crazy like that...
