Kickstarter Update #13 - Budget and Funding Statement

[sand4fish]

I believe it's still entirely possible for us to reach that 10 mil mark

Why do you say that? What kind of data are you using to back that up? In no way or form the $10M USD mark will be met on Kickstarter. If Shenmue III reaches $5M USD (that I don't think it will), it will be almost perfect.

Just to give you an idea, the Kicktraq projections (and Kicktraq is usually right from day 9 onward) --> http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/ysnet/ ... projection

Although the $10 mil is a big of a stretch, let's see if the community taking things into their own hands will make a difference towards changing the projection numbers, like the $30 on the 3rd marathon donation. And I'm starting to see Yu Suzuki and his "Awesome Japan team" trying to step up their game and change their passive stance.

There's the guy who wrote the Game Informer article. He's gloating.

I'm reading through his profile and he's acting like he's the fucking Woodward and Bernstein of video game journalism

It’s ok this time, because it’s a game you want. But what about next time? Backers need to ask the hard questions and expect answers.

I admire the passion of Shenmue fans, but saying “I don’t need or want to know, just make the game” is an abdication of your rights.

Spare me the tears.
