Progress is slow now. The issue is marketing and visibility. I guarantee there are Shenmue fans that still have no idea this is even happening. Those who didn't watch E3 on a stream, check gaming news regularly, etc. This Kickstarter needs to get as much publicity to the mainstream as possible.
Dojo staff are currently working on this. There are many former members of the Dojo who have not even logged in. We will be updating said members who hopefully still use the same email addresses they signed up with. Yama and Sean are currently organising this.
Pretty big news. I always thought this would stay a state by state legal battle till like, 202X..now its legal across the whole country by right. I never really been for or against it because you know, it doesn't affect me at all, but I'm happy about it especially if it leads to more adoptions. Lots of kids out there need a family.
