Shenmue 3 Announced: $6,333,295

[Legend]

$10 million is quite a hefty goal. I know the KS is far from over and Suzuki can get funding outside of KS, but that's still a lot.

I think in the final few days it's going to get huge.

This is what I'm thinking too.

The last days of KS is when the most funding happens.

[Dr. Pezus]

The last days of KS is when the most funding happens.

No, the first hours/days

[Legend]

No, the first hours/days

Depends. In the case of Shenmue yeah.

Definitely not in the middle though haha.

[ethomaz]

No, the first hours/days

Most KS games get only 30-40% of the funding on the time period but the last day make it reach the goal.

Looks like on a "slow" day, the KS raises ~$90K per day. Assuming that the pace stays the same the entire time, the KS will have raised $5.8 million and thus, achieve all the reach goals. However, that is also $4.2 million short of the $10 million Suzuki would like and can a late surge make up for that $4.2 million?

Maybe, it would be tough. The surge needs to start soon.

Nah that surge doesn't need to start till the last day or so. Kickstarters pull crazy numbers at the end.

Like I said the last days of a KS project is pretty active.



And of course the Shenmue 3.

Cool, thanks for this. I bet Amplitude's KS looks similar to this, too and yeah, it looks like $10 million is possible to pull off.

Btw, what's going on with Legend11 on Chertz? He seems to think Suzuki is up to some shady stuff despite him already being upfront about his funding sources...

[ethomaz]

Ohhhh they added a new option for backers.

RYO'S JACKET - REPLICA $3,000

I used this example because it is the big gaming funding before Shenmue... $2m goal and they reached $2.3m.

Shenmue is just massive... $3.5m in less than a week.

Dear God... Legend11 is back? Stay the fudge away. He was the worst Ms fanboy back in the day.

I don't comment that much on Chertz anymore, but thanks.

I rest my case. Most funding comes from the first days
