Shaquille O'Neal wants to make a sequel of videogame Shaq Fu.
Per Yahoo Sports Ball Don't Lie, O'Neal and his partners at Big Deez Productions, who claim to have worked on popular franchises like the "Halo" and "Street Fighter" series in the past, have just launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign aimed at raising $450,000 to support the production and release of the "beat-em-up-style" game, with 5 percent "of all profits from the game [going] to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America." As of 12:50 p.m. ET Thursday, they'd already raised more than $4,000, with the campaign slated to end on April 20; even if the goal isn't met, though, Polygon's Samit Sarkar notes that because "it is a flexible funding drive, the studio will receive whatever money has been contributed to the campaign by [the end date]." (Seems like a smart business move by The Big Game Developer.) On top of the sheer pleasure you can derive from making (a slightly more muscular and lithe version of) Shaq beat up ninjas, you can also get certain Shaq-themed perks depending on how much you contribute to the Indiegogo project. Prizes include the chance to record your own voiceover for the game ($100), a follow from Shaq on Instagram ($500) or Twitter ($1,000), a personalized voice mail ($600) or video message ($750) from Shaq, and even a chance to chill with Shaq at the Turner studios in Atlanta for an "Inside the NBA" broadcast ($35,000). There are unique Shaq-related experiences (Shaqsperiences) that every level of Shaq aficionado (Shaqficionado) can appreciate (Shaqpreciate).
