Funding for Shenmue 3 on Kickstarter got off to a record-breaking start, soaring past its $2 million target. However, interest appears to have stalled, with only $31,074 pledged yesterday.
Ys Net boss and Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki has said he wants $10 million if his dream of a true open world Shenmue is to be realised. At the current rate only a further $700,000 would be raised, leaving the project on $4.3 million.

Whilst $4.3 million would be a great result for a Kickstarter, it would cast big doubts over what experience Ys Net would be able to produce.
Now could be the time for Ys Net to introduce a few additional platform stretch goals, with an Xbox One announcement sure to attract a new audience of potential backers. The game is currently only confirmed for PS4 and PC.
