Ys Net, Inc. is a Japanese video game developer.
History
Ys Net was founded by Yu Suzuki in 2008. While still remaining employed at Sega, Yu Suzuki began an attempt at a Shenmue MMO in hopes that it would be popular enough to provide income to fund the Shenmue series. Things didn't pan out that way, as Shenmue City was released in 2010 for mobile phones in Japan, but it was discontinued in 2011 after only a year of service.
Yu Suzuki tried the avenue of crowdfunding for Shenmue III through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign in 2015, and it became the fastest funded video game Kickstarter campaign up to that point. After the success of the Kickstarter campaign, it went into full development by Ys Net and Neilo, a studio whose chief executive, Takeshi Hirai, was the lead programmer on the first Shenmue. It was partially funded through the Kickstarter campaign and was published by Deep Silver. In addition, Epic Games funded some of the development in exchange for digital exclusivity on the Epic Games store for a year on the Windows platform. Sony also helped with the marketing of the game.
