Shenmue 3 would probably have Persona-ish world map if it doesn't get to $10M

Dude stop. KS longevity? LMAO! What is that. Is this your first kickstarter? All KS follow a bath curve.

Lol are you kidding me? Longevity means your KS project would hit yout stretch goals. This KS was projected at $50M but now it'll be lucky to get $8M.

 

This is not some Yooka situation where its okay if it doesn't hit $5M cause their estimated stretch goals in order to fully realize their game were conservative. Shenmue on the other hand needs more money to have that and I believe $10M is not big enough to cover all bases

 

My company costs about <$3M a year for  our development budget.  We have a CTO, director and manager, 2 business analysts,  1 ux guy, 2 project managers, 4 technical qas, and about 12 developers.

 

They plan on 2 years only... so salary  costs are down. They could hire a team my size on around a $6M budget. However,  they will recruit external funding in addition to the KS.
