Your Daily Programming

Hello to Everyone around the World!

The Shenmue Carnival is in full swing now! Invite your friends to the party and keep sharing the news. Shout it from the streets to the mountains that Shenmue is back!

Today we have an interview from the main programmer of the Shenmue series, Tak Hirai. He was a key member of the team that made the series what it was, and his experience and familiarity with the code from the original series will be an invaluable resource in helping bringing back the world we all know and love. Give a big round of applause for Tak as he talks about the trials and tribulations of programming for Shenmue 1 and 2, and expresses his hopes for where Shenmue 3 will be headed.

 

Hirai-san hard at work

Later on Today

Suzuki-san will be on Reddit today, so please join him and give him your support to celebrate this momentous occasion! The Reddit AMA will start around 9:30 pm and the link will be posted here on the Update page. 

See you there!

For this week's throwback, we've got a screenshot of downtown Dobuita from Shenmue Passport on the Dreamcast. Do you have fond memories of exploring Shenmue's world back in the old days? 🌀

Sometimes you've got to represent the things that you hold dear, Shenmue fans! Are you sporting a Hazuki t-shirt today, or are you flying a different flag? There are no wrong answers here! 👕

Ryo and Shenhua's journey has all be laid out since long before either of them were born. Destiny propels them towards their destination... wherever that may be. ⛰️🦅

DOWNLOAD SUKA PASS - https://www.sukapass.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello everyone, it's Nozomi! Thank you so much for updating Suka Pass. I have been looking forward to telling you about this one, because it brings some very special new places to visit inside the app. When I think back to the original Shenmue Passport, it always felt like there were so many little corners of Yokosuka waiting to be explored. With this update, Suka Pass has grown again with new ways to test your knowledge, collect memories, check in with Yokosuka, follow the latest Shenmue news, and enjoy the atmosphere of Shenmue wherever you are. * Suka Pass Quiz You can now find the new Suka Pass Quiz page on the main menu! Test your Shenmue knowledge with different quiz modes. Try a quick Daily Quiz, practise with a set of questions, or take on Trainer Challenges from familiar faces like Fukuhara-san, Yamagishi-san and Master Chen. Questions can include characters, voices, locations, music, moves, VMU animations and more. Some questions may be gentle, while others might make even Ryo stop and think for a moment! As you play, you can earn medals, build your streak, view your results, and even receive Winning Cans as rewards. * Shenmue Goodies The Shenmue Goodies page is now open! Here you can collect and view VMU animations for many characters from Shenmue. Use your Winning Cans to unlock animations, then enjoy them inside a special VMU display. It is like carrying a little piece of the Dreamcast era with you again. You can browse the character grid, search for familiar faces, and slowly build up your collection over time. * Everyone's Space Everyone's Space has been added as a new area of Suka Pass. This screen brings back the feeling of another long-lost Passport section, with a live Yokosuka weather forecast so you can check the sky over Ryo's hometown. Even if you are far away, I hope it helps Yokosuka feel just a little bit closer. You will also find the new What's New! page here, where you can enjoy Shenmue articles, videos and community news from Phantom River Stone, Shenmue Dojo, and Wandering Through Shenmue. * Topics Previously known as Community Links, this page can be accessed from Urgent Messages and brings together a selection of Shenmue community websites in one convenient place. * My Collection A new My Collection page is now available from the Options screen. Here you can view the capsule toys and other items you have collected, making it easier to look back over everything you have found during your time with Suka Pass. * Data Review The Data Review page has also been updated with new quiz and Goodies information, so you can keep track of your progress, medals, streaks, Winning Cans, and VMU animation collection stats. There are also new tutorial messages and many smaller improvements across the app to help these new features feel at home. I hope you enjoy exploring everything in this update. Whether you are testing your memory of Shenmue, unlocking a favorite character's VMU animation, checking the weather in Yokosuka, catching up with the latest news on the What's New! page, or discovering community websites through Topics, I hope Suka Pass gives you another reason to smile. Thank you, as always, for supporting Suka Pass through all these years.
