Shenmue Dojo

It actually seemed to have lost money at one point. 12 hours to go in this day and it's only made arond 1,000 according to the tracker.

Man, I really hope they can get awards and some kind of publicity that works. After the big day on Friday, I didn't think this would happen. Hope they make move for more rewards soon.

Awesome Japan are fucking shit, and are not promoting it at all, so it's tanking.

Yesterday was our worst day in terms of new backers.

The twitch stream is what happened, a killing blow to our chances of getting new people to pledge.

And people say we shouldn't get mad at Awesome Crappan...

It feels like there is just no sense of urgency.

lol @ people yesterday claiming the twitch stream was good in terms of money coming in kon ks

There are numerous factors that influence this DONT PANIC KEEP SPAMMING EVERY INTERNET AND YOUR WHOLE CITY WITH FLYPOSTERS AND SHENMUE PROMOTION

Just left a comment on the kickstarter saying Awesome Japan needs to step their shit up. I am sure it will be buried in all the rest of the comments....

Yea guys, chill, it's only the weekend, I mean who works at the weekend anyways, give them a break, there's still 19 long days to go...well 2 more weekends to come, so 15 long ass days, plenty of time to get another 6 mil

No social media presence and they also take weekends off. I don't care if they need to "rest". When I screw up an assignment at work or I'm behind, I take some time on the weekend to work. If they're working on some massive front page overhaul and social media attack plan, then I'll eat my words. But they're not. They're lazy and they're not very good at their job.

Posting a couple Twitter updates and sending out an update to backers regarding information from the Twitch isn't even that much work.

I think we just have to accept Awesome Japan is terrible, Shenmue doesn't have as many diehard fans as we think and focus on the positive: at least we hit the $2 million threshold and Sony's support was worth its weight in gold.

How about a new hashtag? #FireAwesomeJapanOnThe3rd

I think this is the point we seriously need to approach YSnet with the idea of firing them. At this point Awesome Japan are about as useful as having literally nobody run the campaign, so even if it's a bit rocky during the transition, literally anything is better than letting these fuckwits bring the kickstarter to a grinding halt.

Admins of ShenmueDojo, Shenmue500K, TeamYu and every other Shenmue fansite need to step up and make it known that this isn't acceptable - fuck, float the idea of us doing it for free. Absolutely anything is better than Awesome Japan cutting a check for this shite.

Sacred words.

19 days to go. It's still the moment to fire them. I wish.
