Hi guys,
After the successful kickstarter last night, i was conceited towards suggesting several ideas going forward. One main idea is for a Shenmue 3 mobile companian App.

The companian App will consist of the following features:

1) Map and current location of Ryo in various areas such as Bailu and Choubu village.
2) Database of Shenmue NPCs/PCs. More characters are unlockable as you encounter them overtime.
3) Same concept for Capsule Toys. Best thing would be to trade capsule toys with friends.
4) Shenmue 3 mini game(s) such as lucky hit.
5) Shenmue notebook
6) Shenmue music player ala similar to the casette player from the first two shenmue games.

What do you guys suggest and see if we can present this across to Yu Suzuki and co.

No thanks. Let's keep the dev money for the main game.

I'd like to see a lot of that, but, for my tastes, preferably in the form of a new Shenmue Passport, maybe accessible in-game, or from the main menu. Make as much of it available offline as possible (weather, databases, etcetera), and only have stuff online that is necessarily online (leaderboards and such).

I see what you mean but the dev money would have been just for game dev exclusively. This I would have loved to develop alongside other passionate shenmue fans free of charge for YS NET without any development funds going into this.

Ah right! Good shout, I amost forgot about the passport disc lol. I guess considering the massive content shenmue contains, I guess maybe a passport disk would be more sufficient.
