Shenmue 3 Kickstarter Update #15

Posted on June 26, 2015 at 20:41 PM BST

The Plan

 

Hello Backers and Shenmue Fans!  

So, what about those Stretch Goals? With all of your questions, this couldn’t wait any longer! Without further ado, Yu Suzuki talks Stretch Goals:

As you can see down below, yes, Yu Suzuki has planned a few Stretch Goals for Shenmue 3. It has been 14 + years after all! For the different areas that will make up the game, Yu-san felt that he should focus on making each area as fully immersive as possible before moving on to the next new one, so the area portions of the Stretch Goals have been grouped together.

When it was decided Shenmue 3 would be a go on Kickstarter, Yu-san methodically structured how the game would fit together, knowing that it would change depending on how much could be raised here. The different elements of the game would form a scaffold, building up from each new system and mechanic that would enhance the game as a whole.

This only breaks ice, so on the Twitch session tomorrow, Yu-san will get deeper into the Stretch Goals and explain the different elements he has laid out Shenmue 3. He will also be addressing many of your comments and questions that have amassed thus far, so please tune in! Should you happen to miss it though, we will have a recap on the here on the page, so no sweaty!

The link for the Twitch stream will posted on anUpdate later today and on Twitter @Shenmue_3  

As always! We just can’t thank everyone enough for all of your support. Shenmue 3 would not be here without you, so keep those comments, videos, tweets, postings, and everything in between coming!

Hey, we know that guy! ๐Ÿ‘€ Even a renowned criminal like Ren needs a burger from time to time. You can find him wandering the streets of Niaowu throughout Shenmue III. ๐Ÿ”

Here's a short walk through Niaowu to see in your new week, Shenmue fans. ๐Ÿฎโ›ฉ๏ธ Ryo's even got dressed up for the occasion. Soak up that cosy atmosphere and keep it with you today.

Each street corner tells its a story. ๐ŸŒ† Everything in Shenmue's world design is intentional and handcrafted. The places that Ryo explores are as much a character in his adventure as he is.

Happy Birthday to Etsuko Sekine! ๐ŸŽ‚

Born on this day in 1959, Etsuko tried her luck as a model, before finding her way to Asia Travel Company... where she now runs a perfectly legitimate business and always takes great care of her customers. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ‘€
