Some reading material for this thread:
Greetings Everyone!
Yes, we are in the third month of development of Shenmue 3. The story and scenarios are now out of the planning stage and it is time to get the people, places and things to start fitting together into a world with proper dimension, adequate space, and appropriate scale to keep the feel and essence of all that is a Shenmue game.
Yes, totally peerless in that regard. Endless credit to the work of Manabu Takimoto, who brought real world architecture experience to his work. The thing I love about Shenmue is it never feels like the environments were just designed to look cool. So many games you can tell they just had someone design a piece of concept art that looked "striking" and used that. Tends to produce environments that feel very "design-y." They don't have any physicality or real world logic.I know it's going to be a tall task but the attention to detail and the way the environments were crafted in the first two games still impresses me to this day.
reminder: there are only 15 days left of the slacker backer campaign.
while upgrades for kickstarter pledges are not in place (yet), and the PC version not being available via slacker backer funding (we were told it would come, but there must have been some delay), if you want shenmue 3 on PS4 plus access to some extra goodies, now would be a good time to get yourself a copy and pledge.
so far they've raised over $130,000 via the slacker backer site with nearly an extra 2000 people pledging, and just shy of $30,000 left to reach the next stretch goal.
let's (continue to) save shenmue!
that's the next stretch goal gettin' bopped.
yassssI threw in another lazy $100!
i totally want to pledge for the replica jacket, but i'm too broke. can't believe i've had two chances but not enough money.I wish they enabled upgrades soon so I could drop a few hundred bucks down this pit again.
I might just get a second physical copy to have around.
Did they remove the timeframe of the Paypal backing thing? Iam pretty sure the last date was set for 31st? Now its nothing? Concerning?
And what happen to us that backed the Kickstarter, when will we be allowed to upgrade that pledge?
They said they're extending the deadline in a recent update:
PayPal Period Extension
So why bother with this when there are only a few days left on the Slacker Backer campaign? That is because the deadline has been extended! Many of you have asked for an extension, and we have been late in coming with promised add-on/up-grades system, so the Slacker Backer PayPal page will stay up and running to accept pledges. All contributions made will continue to go to the games development.
Have they still not gotten PC pledging up?
nah, but that's probably the next thing that gets done with the paypal campaign.Have they still not gotten PC pledging up?
oh god, me too. they were a steal. had no idea they were the size and quality they were.Still salty about not getting one of the busts

Not yet. Really not sure what's going on with that but Cedric has assured us that it's coming.

same, probably. i think they actually cost less than my pledge to be made into an in-game capsule toy.I literally went to bed that night, woke up and saw sold out.
I reckon i would have purchased two.
i think they were at least used as an artist's reference, if not scanned like you said. i don't think they were damaged though, just a bit yellowed due to age. i recall it being said during the final hours livestream that they'd be restored before being shipped anyway, so they should hopefully look good as new for the lucky few who got them.They looked very impressive in the promotional video with Yu Suzuki during Shenmue's development and I could have sworn Sega scanned those models in to be used to create and build the passport-models.
During the final KS campaign video I think they mentioned some of the busts were damaged/discoloured due to being in storage but I still would have loved Ryo or Lan Di's bust.
if i had to wager a guess, likely discussions on release platform (mostly likely steam, without going through greenlight), and having the internal discussion and research on a DRM free version (which was requested by fans). in a vacuum, if these were the only things that had to get done, they'd likely get done very quickly. as it is, i think it might just be a manpower issue slowing things down.I wonder what's causing the delay.

that's the $1800 tier, i got the $1200 tier which doesn't feature a character with my figure.Nice. I really wanted that pledge. Which Shenmue character will be appearing along side you?
When we hit $11m.
As of now I have not seen a new date for funding but perhaps I just haven't noticed. We might be informed soon when the new year's chaos settles down.Don't they have a date?
