On June 15, 2015 at approximately 16:00 on the Sony stage, Ys Net’s Yu Suzuki told us about his dream project:  Shenmue III.  And then, of course, a timer started.  That timer lead directly to the Kickstarter page.  His request was clear:  help save Shenmue III.

Within the first hour of that particular stage show going live, the game had racked up an incredible $1 million.

9 hours later, more-or-less the project is completely funded – getting all of its $2 million in that short time.  One wonders just how far – and how fast – this particular Kickstarter will climb?
