I wonder how many of these new backers are because of the Shenmue HD scuttlebutt, and how many are from China.

The Shenmue HD hinting got the campaign back in the news (Gamespot, etc), so I'd guess that's the reason for the boost.

And thus the struggle to $6.7 million... begins.

i believe that if the show us a demo at e3 this year or sega announce shenmue 1 & 2 hd then we can reach at list 7 milions....

...A weekly (or bi-weekly) update might perhaps be more effective at this point ;)

From barely $50 to nearly $800. Unpredictable as always!

[FlagshipFighter]

I think if the Shenmue Kickstarter has been even one year later, it would not have reached even 5 million due to the backlash against Kickstarter games like Mighty No. 9, etc. The cancellation of John Romero's recent Kickstarter shows to me that the platform will need more high profile successes in the future for games, e.g. Bloodstained and Shenmue III need to kick ass.

I am one of the seven backers from May 19, and my birthday is just in a few days that's why I pledged a bit more than usual.

As a side note: it would be nice if they could also add a donation option. Maybe it is something we could request in the upcoming Tweetathon on June the 3rd?

Nice job, and happy birthday in advance!

A donation option would be nice, but I don't think it'll happen even if we ask. Implementing KS upgrades and adding the PC version to the PayPal would be more beneficial right now.
