Yu Suzuki kiittää lämpimästi kaikkia Shenmue 3:n tukijoita

Kolmannen Shenmuen Kickstarter-kampaja oli ja meni. Se onnistui keräämään reilusti tuohta Yu Suzukin taskuihin ja mies on erittäin otettu kampanjan menestyksestä. Kickstarterissa julkaistussa päivityksessä hän kiittää vuolaasti kaikkia tukijoita. Samalla hän muistuttaa, että pelin kehitystyö on vasta alkamassa.

"On July 17th, the Kickstarter campaign for Shenmue III drew to a finish. Because of you, the backers and the fans, Shenmue III set the Guinness record for the fastest game to reach $1 million, past the funding goal of $2 million in just 8 and a half hours, set the record for video games on Kickstarter, and became the 6th most funded project on Kickstarter, collecting $6.33 million.

All of this was accomplished by your efforts. Through the illustrations you drew, the videos you produced, and all that you did throughout the campaign, I could not help but feel the deep love you have for Shenmue.

Even after 14 years have gone by, to see this outpouring of support is something one as a creator can only dream of. There can be no better feeling than what you have given me, and for that I will be eternally grateful.

We have just started getting into development, and as we move ahead, I will listen to all of you to make Shenmue III even better.

I thank you again all for your support, and wholeheartedly look forward to the rest of our journey together.

Yu Suzuki"
