Kickstarter Update 49 & 50: Paypal Extension & Reward poll

Season’s Greetings Everyone!

Here we are, the last (and very important) announcements before the magical year that was 2015 comes to a close!

Reward Poll Redo

In the last update we added a link for a Twitter poll asking if Kickstarter Exclusive Rewards should be made available on the Slacker Backer PayPal page. There were many who were against the use of Twitter for the poll as many do not have a Twitter account and also because the poll should have been made available only to Kickstarter Backers. True and true. So we will try this one more time so that all Backers at the appropriate pledge level may participate.

The poll can be accessed by the link in the update immediately following this one. We apologize for the mistake and kindly ask for your feedback and participation.

PayPal Period Extension

So why bother with this when there are only a few days left on the Slacker Backer campaign? That is because the deadline has been extended! Many of you have asked for an extension, and we have been late in coming with promised add-on/up-grades system, so the Slacker Backer PayPal page will stay up and running to accept pledges. All contributions made will continue to go to the game’s development.

Guinness World Record Presentation

It is official now, Shenmue III is in the Guinness World Records. The good people from Guinness World Records paid Ys Net and Mr. Suzuki a visit a few days ago to hold an impromptu ceremony and present the certificates for “The most money pledged for a Kickstarter video game” at $6,333,296, and for “The fastest $1 million pledged for a crowdfunded video game” at 1 hour 44 minutes.

This miracle is all thanks to you, so be proud and say it loud, “Hey, I did that!”

Very nice to see the clip in good quality instead of that dodgy powerpoint embed lol. So crazy to think that they didn't mention this in the update today!

It looks so great! I'm so giddy right now! haha!

If does look really nice the lady at the end looks ike Ine-San? The inside of the house reminds me of Shenhua house.

They said they re-did the poll so that only kickstarter backers could vote (as opposed to Twitter where anyone could) but then you post the link in the private kickstarter post here, making it not private, so anyone can vote again?

Shouldn't you have not done that?

That should be Awesome Japan job to make sure that only Kickstarter backers can vote... If there is a way.
It appears to me anyway that the second round for the poll is only rethorical.
Every sane KS backer will understand that more funds means a better game. In the end, everybody wins with exclusive rewards remaining in the "backers" family.

Edit. Well... trolls. Are they really so many? Thinking yes sounds a little bit paranoid to me.

Looks like it's technically impossible to do a true private poll. The only solution was to post the link in a private page. Still better than Twitter though but this update is embarrassing.
