Choubu Area: Not funded but the area has been expanded with four mini-games, four betting games, kung-fu mastery, part-time job added.Mini-games, infiltration event, battle event, investigation, and battle event have been implemented in the Fortified Castle area. Baisha Area changed: Funded but changed to Fortified Castle area.Skill Tree System: Funded but changed to a Skill Book System to better fit the battling style.Character Perspective System: Funded but not implemented as it could not be achieved in this game."In order to maximize game quality under the adjusted budget, game planning was fundamentally altered and ultimately allowed us to incorporate a number of different elements beyond our original expectations."Īn overview of the key changes to the stretch goals can be seen in the list below, but you can head over to the Kickstarter page for a more detailed breakdown: "Development began in line with the stretch goal content, but with the addition of sales partners during production, we were able to increase our development budget," Ys Net explained. However, some features attached to stretch goals that were not successfully funded have been added to the game. The Kickstarter update also states that some stretch goals that were reached during the crowdfunding campaign could not be implemented-despite reaching the funding milestone set out for their inclusion. Details regarding the refund request process will be announced in the future, but one thing Ys Net notes is that rewards attached to certain backer tiers that have resulted in content being produced and added to the game may not be refundable.Įpic is funding the cost of all Kickstarter refunds resulting from Shenmue III’s move to the Epic Games store, so that refunds won’t reduce Ys Net’s development funding. Those that opt for the PC versions have "an option to also receive a Steam key one year later," though you'll need to manually select this option in the survey.īackers can choose to refund their contribution and Ys Net, Deep Silver, and Epic Games have agreed to honor these requests. If you previously selected PC as the preferred platform, you have the option to switch to PS4-or vice verse if you so choose. However, the disk in the PC physical version of the game does not contain the game data and instead just includes the Epic Games Store installer. We deeply apologize for the unrest caused by the announcement."Īt launch, the available options for Kickstarter backers include a PC physical package, a digital key, a PS4 disc, or a PSN voucher code. "That we are not able to offer Steam keys for Kickstarter rewards at the time of the game's release is a great and inconvenience for those backers who were expecting to receive them. "However, coordination with the sales policies of the involved companies was untenable, and as a result, we are not able to make a day one distribution option for Steam keys available. "In response to backers who have requested Steam keys for their rewards, we discussed offering the keys on the day of release," Ys Net said. However, playing on Steam won't be possible on launch day. This is unlikely to be much of a comfort to people that supported Ys Net's crowdfunding campaign with the understanding that they'd eventually be able to play the game on Steam.

Ys Net has said it’ll be there in an official capacity, with some news that will be shared in the business area of the event, which will then be shared with the backers. I’m not sure about you, but I immediately had an image of Yu Suzuki milling around the entrance of gamescom, awkwardly inserting himself into conversations and random people’s photos. ‘We are go for a Shenmue event at the general admission entertainment area! Unfortunately, we will not be doing a large event like showcasing promotional videos or placing playable demos in this venue, but Yu Suzuki will be there and give all of you a big welcome greeting’, said Ys Net in its update. There will not, however, be any playable builds of the game on the show floor (please hold your surprise). As per everything else that’s been announced so far, it’s generally more of an announcement for not much at all. After announcing last month that it’d be attending gamescom 2017, Ys Net has sent out another update to the backers of Shenmue 3 today.
