Hi Nyanchan
first of all congratulations for making bk series one of the greatest I ever played. the hard work and joy you put in them really deserves some form of payment, I think
I bought the translation for bk III and I felt really great cause I could share my congratulations to you as well by giving you money for your hard work.
so this is why I think you need to make bk II v2 payd, cause all of these games contain lots of content, secrets and replayability and they really changed the sidescroller genre, in my opinion.
I don't know what other users will say about making it payd or free, but this is my opinion. besides, I also know some people wont buy it cause of regional or money problems.
congratulations one more time
sorry if my post above wasn't quite clear, i'm still improving at English

OK, so here I am.
BK3 is a great game, tuth, it would be good to buy some DLCs, but on the other hands, as you have stated some people really cannot purchase the game due to for example financial reasons, so why just not make the game donation ware? People would pay if they want, and how much they want.

Hello. I'm not trying to mean any harsh, I'm not trying to say that you don't deserve any payments.
I know how hard you tryed on that project, how hard it could be when you were fixing those bugs, coding stages, getting those guys together to release the translation, I know they were and are so hard that if someone say that it doesn't deserve any money it's cruel but to be honest I'm a bk3 player for a long long time. I like it and even after playing so so long still have not unlocked some weapons like clone generator. But after all, what i want to say is that people like me are really not able to purchase things with pay pal, dollars and stuff like these. No matter if you get 5 sent or 5 dollar. Pay pal is blocked in here, credit cards are even harder to be found, (I never have seen someone here having a credit card as far as i can remember) thus we can't pay for it. I think if you really don't need the money(that much), make it free so everyone may enjoy it. It's your choice though. I was just trying o interduse how things work in countries like myne

Donationware as said above is a good idea. I think you would need an english section of your site though so people can make donations. Maybe a section at the top that asks which language you speak like Oriol Gomez. If you hear nothing or letter letter letter, just go down one until you hear english or something like that, then you get the english section of the site. That way you could sort of run parallel english and Japanese donations to the same paypal.

Well what about charge for the game, but have people buy into the development of it not just the game itself.
So Usually you would play the full game, but well you buy into the alpha or beta or prerelease of the game, future updates to the game you got brought will be free, once the game transitions to live you get it free.
You then could include bonuses you could get along the way depend where you set your prices, say 10 bucks just gets you the game final version 15 the testing builds to or get new stuff as it unlocks, 20, the soundtrack.
30, all sound traks for bk 1 2 and 3, and so on and so on.
You could have a teer where you got all things as well as the games sound libs, resources on the game language, the ability to develop other things and other user things.
I remember this with futureboy which sadly I have but the company is no more.
You had firstly a download version for cheap, I think 10 bucks, then a simple cd version of the game in your choice of os for I think 15 bucks.
Then the full game, all oses, full case, artwork, manual, the programming language which was used hugo, and 3 programming guides and I got the top teer, I never used the guides, maybe I should I still have them.

@11: I like the idea, I think I'd pay 30 bucks no problem for the package you described.

Donationware I like it.

Donationware sounds good to me too. It would mean that I could get the game when it came out but that I could later give you money when finances allowed. Your hard work is most definitely worth it. BK3 is a lot of fun already!
