Shenmue 3 Kickstarter Update #75

Posted on September 28, 2017 at 22:34 PM BST

Update #75 

Dev Room Progress Report Vol. 4

日本語はこちら

Hello Everyone, 

This month we have our fourth progress report from the dev room. What makes a character a character is their facial expressions, so this time we wanted to show you the progress on the facial front. Enjoy!

Hope you enjoyed the video! Make sure to stay tuned in for the next development report!

Concerning the Backer Surveys

We apologize for the wait in sending out the backer surveys. 
The survey preparation is moving ahead, however it will take some time yet before they go out. We will have a full rundown of the surveys coming soon. Until then, we ask for your patience.   

Thank you as always for your support!

Hey, we know that guy! 👀 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. 🍔

Here's a short walk through Niaowu to see in your new week, Shenmue fans. 🏮⛩️ 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. 🌆 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! 🎂

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. 😬👀
