Shenmue 3 Kickstarter Update #43

Posted on July 22, 2015 at 21:52 PM BST

Thank you from Yu Suzuki

 

On July 17th, the Kickstarter campaign for Shenmue III drew to a finish. Because of you, the backers and the fans, Shenmue III set the Guinness record for the fastest game to reach $1 million, past the funding goal of $2 million in just 8 and a half hours, set the record for video games on Kickstarter, and became the 6th most funded project on Kickstarter, collecting $6.33 million.  

All of this was accomplished by your efforts. Through the illustrations you drew, the videos you produced, and all that you did throughout the campaign, I could not help but feel the deep love you have for Shenmue.  

Even after 14 years have gone by, to see this outpouring of support is something one as a creator can only dream of. There can be no better feeling than what you have given me, and for that I will be eternally grateful.  

We have just started getting into development, and as we move ahead, I will listen to all of you to make Shenmue III even better.  

I thank you again all for your support, and wholeheartedly look forward to the rest of our journey together.   

Yu Suzuki

7月17日をもって、キックスターターのキャンペーンが終了しました。

$1Mのギネス記録や、わずか8.5時間での$2Mのゴール達成、ビデオゲーム部門での記録の更新や、KS全部門での6位達成などを含め、$6.33Mを集めました。

これもすべて、バッカーの皆さんや、ファンのみなさんのおかげです。

また、皆さんから届いたイラストや、編集されたビデオメッセージなど、シェンムーに対する深い愛を感じています。

14年経った今、こんなメッセージをもらえるクリエーターが他にいるでしょうか?

開発は今始まったばかりですが、これからも皆さんの声を聞きながら、より良いゲームにするため努力します。

皆さんサポートありがとうございました。そしてこれからも宜しくお願いします。

Does it get any more nostalgic than this? ✨ Even after a quarter of a century, this neighbourhood still feels like like a second home to us. It always will. 💙

Anyone else grabbing some food after work tonight, Shenmue fans? 🍜 After grinding through this week, you deserve to blow off some steam with a friend and let someone else cook for you!

🇯🇵 "Shenmue" was so atmospheric for its time. I love just walking through the city on a rainy evening.

Neon signs, vending machines and 1980s Showa-era streets. A perfect blend of nostalgia and belonging.
