KS Update #32 - Capsule Blowout and more!

[Reprise]

Well, the Kickstarter has well and truly been fucked. Wonderful.

Well, the Kickstarter has well and truly been fucked. Wonderful.

Not entirely. I like the idea of giving a wide range of options to choose from even though they are going over the top. Humans can choose where their money travels so humans will do as they please even so if that means lower pledges. Gotta embrace it and look forward to the new campaign, The Final Blow.

Not all hope is lost Reprise.

[Reprise]

I'll be happy with $4.6M, but it just would have been nice to have reached the $5M mark, just because Yu Suzuki is very excited about that stretch goal. Of course, it would have been nicer to beat Bloodstained just for the hype it would bring.

Of course, maybe we will still reach that $5M mark and hopefully we will.

Is Yu Suzuki really going 'yes' to all of this? Even Cedric thinks it's getting silly now too, if his Twitter is anything to go by.

These must have been signed off.

It's very easy to just blame Awesome Japan but any decisions on rewards are ultimately with Yu and Ys Net

I was hoping we'd reach 6 mil. Seeing just what Suzuki would implement for an Advanced FREE Battle system got me all wet and excited. Now it's not going to happen?

Oh yeah, I was really wanting to hit that, but it became clear to me a while ago that we wouldn't

Unless, they allow us to work towards the stretch goals after the campaign ends via Paypal 'late backer' rewards and donations etc.

It is sad that we may not reach stretch goals like these. I also got so over the moon when stuff like this got revealed. If our giant spike at the end can reach this I will be more happy since fighting was just satisfying in Shenmue. Action is good and at least we'll be seeing some in Shenmue 3, there's no doubt there. We already got Battle Event reached.

Stolen from gaf:



It's a mess. I still don't understand the last 6 tiers they added:

Write in a guest hotel, your sign in another inn, your photo here, your face in a toy, you in a toy, you in a toy with a shenmue character, unique scrolls, your signature in a temple, your wishes on another temple, your name in another temple.

WTF.

BTW, seems like the only one that gets all the scrolls is $1400 and $1200.

[Amir]

I want both the $1400 and the $1500 rewards, but can't spring for $2900. If anyone on the $500 or $600 tiers is willing, they can PayPal me that amount and I'll make a second account, or I'll PayPal them $1000 or $900, so they keep all their rewards for their tier and I get my ugly mug in the game for $2400 or $2500.

Projections point to $6M with the last days spike. But like you said, with the post KS paypal option, we will easily reach a couple more goals.

I hope we get a spike in the last couple of days, but I don't think we can rely on it. We reached a saturation point early on, due to the wide exposure and E3 announcement and the received a spike later with the physical PS4 announcement. So a last minute spike might not be as great as many of us are hoping.

[Himuro]

A week ago people were saying we wouldn't reach 4 million. Let's be positive and wait, hmmm? I you have concerns send them to Cedric or the Kickstarter page.

[Yokosuka]

I still secretly target the 6m. Everything can happen, better or worse. For my part, I read a quite lot of people asking sorts of questions. They're often confused about the included rewards and so they have still not paid.

[ElephantStone]

Yeah... sorry guys. I'll be dropping my pledge from $800 to $60 until AJ actually make things clearer, and sort out the higher tiers. No fucking way am I dropping that amount on something run so horrendously. If they take this weekend off as they have been doing, I can't even imagine how badly the KS is going to stall.

[shredingskin]

Sadly I don't think they can change the tiers.

It was really improvised :(
