Flower calligraphy examples for the Temple of the Blooming Flower reward.

How does everything look? These are just some of the rewards backers will receive depending on the reward tier you have pledged. Different reward tiers offer different rewards and we are working extra hard to deliver all in-game, digital and physical rewards.
We understand backer's concerns surrounding reward specifics and this update comes late in addressing them. Game development continues to take up much of our focus, but we hope this helped alleviate some lingering concerns.
Thank you always for your support.

Sick update!! Very cool to see the backer rewards, and even cooler to see them in-game. I love how there is a Save Shenmue building :D I was initially concerned that all the backer rewards would somehow break immersion, so it's such a great idea to make them optional (easy to skip) by putting them in a separate building lol. At the same time, what an amazing idea to serve as a memorial for the whole SaveShenmue movement! Going in there is going to send a chill down my spine every time :D

Everything looks so damn good, especially the art prints & the Crystal Memories reward! Bring on the next update with the real life capsule toys and the Backer NPCS! Cannot wait!
 
Now that is an update! My phone buzzed from the email and I was overcome with joy viewing that update. Both the in-game and physical rewards look amazing! My only complaint is that the mock up of the exclusive sleeve looks a bit cheap and shite (but maybe it's supposed to look like that, as it's only a mock up).

Dare I ask if this actually helped alleviate people's concerns or are they still moaning? I bet there's at least one "They didn't even mention the demo!!!" comment, isn't there?
 
OHHHH I see some key items from Shenmue in there!

The photographs, the dried out leaf you found underneath the Dojo, half of the yin yang pendant....very nice :)View attachment 3664
Great spot dude. Nice to see those. The nostalgia there is unreal. I cannot wait for this game!
 
Really happy with this update. They seem to have gotten a lot better communicating with use since the EGS fiasco. The game is looking great. I’m glad that they appear to have sectioned off the backer stuff to a special area so as to not ruin the immersion.

All that moaning about a Jacket meanwhile backers are getting their own exclusive jacket...go figure :)

Anyways, fantastic update! I can’t wait to spend time in the Save Shenmue building...also, I will read every last one of those well wishes :)
 
The jacket design looks familiar...anyone know if it comes from somewhere?

Also, can anyone make out the artwork that's on the walls in the Save Shenmue building? Looks like it could be old concept art or something?

Wonder what those prize wheel things are...so many questions!

Those kind of jackets were pretty common in Japan in the time period, but one main bit of media I associate them with is the manga "Crows".

Looks like Character Potraits when I zoomed in on them on my iPad just now...but kinda blurry. But it looks like character portraits to me
