I wouldn't go that far, but it has slowed down to a crawl. Didn't even manage 90,000 on the 4th day
To be fair, that's about the amount that Bloodstained campain got on that day, and everyone keeps raving about that campain. It was expected for traffic to slow down. Still, we're on track to hit 3.5 mil this weekend.

He is deciding on Japanese and English as options for us yes! It could include both at the same time!

"How will all the backers be contributing to Shenmue 3 though kickstarter polls and surveys? What will we be able to decide?"

I've just posted this question from another forum user, please upvote if you like it

I know, I was following Bloodstaineds campaign just as close as this one. I just kinda hoped Shenmue would do a lot better than Bloodstained, I guess we might have to settle for around $5.5 million. (same as bloodstained's total)

I'm really against the English dub, as this would take out a huge chunk of budget that could have been allocated in other more important aspects of the game.

Q: Will the band-aid ever come off?

A: I am considering a special option where it could be removed.


Q: Will we see Ryo's Journal return? Would be cool to be able to flip the pages using the PS4's touchpad.

A: I would like to bring back the Journal. That is an interesting idea, I will look into it. Thank you.

It IS doing a lot better than Bloodstained was on its 5th day. It's just frustrating to think what the funding would be with better marketing and more kickstarter tiers. I agree things could be better.

Click "context" below each response to see the question to which he is responding.

I asked again if he still practices martial arts and what made him choose jujitsu as the Hazuki art, awaiting response, please upvote :) http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3 ... ng/cscnx9x

Didn't remember that ps4 had a touchpad

Will players have access to both the Japanese and English voice overs for the game?
And I wanted to say thank you so much for Shenmue and Shenmue II, it brought a tear to my eye seeing those games at E3 during the Shenmue III announcement, I cannot wait. Those two games are what made me curious about Japan as a child, and I am now trying to work as a Japanese translator!

I am thinking about that, yes. However it is not for sure.
It is because of fans like you, I wanted to make a sequel. Thank you very much.

So no jap/eng for now (did he actually said he'll make english dub?)

Q: What do you think of the current state of Japanese game development?

A: I see the share of mobile games increasing, the budgets of games decreasing. It will be harder to express a game's vision. I would hope the console and PC markets gain more popularity.

I imagine an English dub would cost a fair bit of dough that could otherwise be spent on game mechanics/areas, would have to be a stretch goal. Personally I agree with another poster here that I'd rather see that money spent on the game.

I hope so too! Hopefully this, The Last Guardian, and the FFVII remake usher in a new era of Japanese gaming :)
