Do we know?

Not including Sony as that was only for advertising iirc

We know the kickstarter total, but we don't know how much Deep Silver contributed. We also don't know how much (if any) of the EGS money went to YsNet.

If I had to guess the general conversation pertaining to funding from publishers, it'd be something to the extent of: 'whatever you put in (through Kickstarter/Paypal), we'll match it.'
 
In the recent sit down video with IGN Japan I'm sure youtube subtitles said it came in at about $12million including the kickstarter money. So around $5million in external investment.

If the Epic deal went straight to Deep Silver then I'd suggest alot of this was already covered before the game went on sale.

I'd wait until it's been translated properly to confirm.
 
Remember that after kick-starter royalties and backer rewards costs YSNet received only around 4,5 million of the total amount. I guess they got nearly all the money from the slacker backer campaign, that should amount around 750.000 more.

So if the total amount was twelve, deep silver (and shibuya) put around 6,5 millions.
