KS Update #37 - Ryan Payton interview, new reward & Twitch.

Postby Peter » Wed Jul 15, 2015 9:59 pm

Shenmue Salutations!

Here we are with two days left! This month has been quite a journey, and just like our hero Ryo, we have fought hard battles and made new friends along the way. None of us can doubt we have been brought together by the love we share for this game that has given us so much.

One of those new friends and a key member who helped Yu Suzuki get Shenmue 3 off the ground, onto Kickstarter, and where we are now, is the founder of Camouflaj and the Director of République, Ryan Payton. Ryan is back for our final video interview of the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter. He had already spoken with us before the project went live, but as a Kickstarter veteran and Shenmue fan, he knew how important fan involvement through Kickstarter meant to Shenmue.

Bringing the past and future of Shenmue full circle, Ryan sums it all up as we head into the final leg of the Kickstarter journey with his motivational words in part two of his video. Don’t miss it!

Eloquently put sir! Thank you again for all of your work helping make Shenmue 3 something we can all share and be a part of! Everyone, please give Ryan another big round of applause!

Bit of an odd reward, but cool to get a new Twitch stream.

Can't wait for the party, I might pick up a pizza.

Pretty cool reward. Although I wish they'd include some more tiers in these upper ones. There are so many rewards now, I hope nobody thinks this is better suited for them than the higher reward they pledged earlier, and retracts and goes to a lower amount.

I was hoping for a new tier to really entice people into upping their pledges in these last 48 hours. The Twitch stream through the end of the KS is very cool. Great idea on their part to organize this, can't miss it!

Nice that the new reward is physical :)

And the countdown is cool too.

I was hoping for a 5.5m goal to get added though... I want to be bloodstained now we're within reach!!

Good thing is it's a collectable and not another *insert name here* reward.

Nice that they stream and push all the way through for the last hours. The new reward is also the best in a while, being something physical. And look, they did in fact put up a new strech goal to beat Bloodstained. :D
