A Gamer's Journey (Shenmue Documentary) goes to Kickstarter

Just a reminder that the KS ends in a little under 4 hours.

Having already received twice as much funding as they set out to acquire this KS has been a huge success already and whilst the project may not need any more money I have no doubt that any additional funding will be well spent and put directly into making the resulting film the very best that it can be.

Not to mention that there are are plenty of limited rewards tiers left up for grabs, personally I would love to see as many of you guys in the special feature/credits as possible.

I see it has smahed even 50k! Well done to everyone involved, there is just 6 hours left so anyone who hasn't yet got their copy best get involved now!

Didn't mean to bump your post, sorry!

Had the topic open all morning with one of my 600 tabs open.

This is exactly the case! The initial goal was the bare minimum and even then I was still prepared to invest a bit more of my own money into finishing it.

Now it looks like there will be more breathing room and we won’t be as stressed.

Also I have to add how amazed I am at all the messages we have received from people wanting to help with translations, transcriptions, music, art, etc This thing really is being made by the fans, for the fans.
I know strictly speaking it's not required but would you consider adding something like the slacker backer approach?

How I feel whenever anything Shenmue related goes up for sale at short notice.

More proof that we are the best fans in the world! We always break boundaries one after another. When given the opportunity, we don’t knock on its door, we break it down!
 
Now here's a quick bit of fun.

What will the final total be?

I'm going 54,655
 
Superb effort. I'm sure they all over the moon with this.

Can't wait for the finished product. Plus you get to see my ugly mug in the extras haha enjoy!
 
Going forward please feel free to post Kickstarter updates in this topic. All the best with the project!
 
@spud1897 beat me to it!

Future updates will be more interesting - I promise. Pre-production stuff is what it is. I'm trying to expose Isaac (cinematographer) to as much Shenmue as I can before we leave. Might film our gameplay sessions as a future update or behind the scenes thing :)
 
:D Really exciting to hear things are moving along so soon, looking forward to all the social media interactions from December onwards!

Also: Excellent photo of Isaac and Randall if I may say so lol.
