Shenmue Wiki

Postby Abraham_1 » Mon Mar 21, 2016 7:04 pm

Hi

This is my first post; however, I have been a fan of the series for a long time.

I was replaying through the games, trying to explore as much as I could. This really shines through in Shenmue 2, especially in Kowloon, where there is so much to explore. I wanted a comprehensive list of locations and went on Shenmue Wiki, since Wiki is the platform which helps me with virtually any game I need information for. Much to my surprise, however, the Wiki for locations was not as fleshed out as I imagined. In fact, Shenmue Wiki is not very fleshed out as a whole, at least not as much as other game series such as Ace Attorney Wiki, Xenoblade Wiki or GTA Wiki, which basically milk the games for all their worth.

Now, I do not blame those who post on the Wiki since I am sure they work hard, I just don't think there's as much attention placed on it and I think Wikis are very important for games, especially for new players who want to learn more about the universe upon completing the game or whilst they are playing the game.

I know Shenmue Dojo is the best place for Shenmue information but I believe we should maybe try to expand the Shenmue Wiki too.

What do you guys think?

I'm guilty of looking up games on their respective Wikis immediately after completing them haha (as long as I enjoyed them)

There is this: http://shenmuedb.com/, too. Maybe someone could contact the owner to contribute; seems like a good site.

Hey! No need to contact the owner. It's me :)

This has been a working in progress since last year, and technically not launched yet :lol:

I'm glad you like it. My goal has been to create a database site with a more inviting design. I've struggled with the setup, trying to make a system which isn't a wiki.

It stalled a little after the kickstarter, as I changed jobs, then christmas etc.

I'm going to start this up again now, and fix the platform and make the responsiveness of it better.
I absolutely would love if someone would be willing to contribute.

I'll keep you guys posted :)
