Received this mail today:

Dear Sir/Madam

I'm sorry to disturb you so abrupt. We are a domain name registration service
company in Asia,

On 4th May. we received a formal application submitted by Mr. John Wang who wanted
to use the keyword "dpadhero" to register the Internet Brand and with suffix such as
.cn /.com.cn /.net.cn/.hk/.asia/ domain names.
After our initial examination, we found that these domain names to be applied for
registration  are same as your  domain name and trademark. We aren't sure whether
you have any relation with him. Because these domain names would produce possible
dispute, now we have hold down his registration, but if we do not get your company's
an reply in the next 5 working days, we will approve his application
As authorized anti-cybersquatting organization we hereby suspect Mr. John Wang is a
domain investor. so we need you to attach importance to this issue.
In order to handle this issue better, Please contact us by Fax ,Telephone or Email
as soon as possible.

Google suggests scam. If not, well, Mr Wang, just go ahead; we will simply rename D-Pad Hero 3 to “Rock Pad: No More Heroes”.

We’d like to thank everyone who has supported our hard work on D-Pad Hero by donating. Since we’re making and releasing the games for free anyway, we figured it’s time to pass your contributions on to a worthy cause.

Still children at heart, we care about kids’ well-being, rights and opportunities. To this end, we chose to support The Children’s Defense Fund Beat the Odds Program. From the CDF page:

The CDF Beat the Odds program recognizes and awards college scholarships to young people who have overcome adversity in their lives, demonstrate academic excellence and have given back to their communities.

Who knows, one of those kids could be the next great game developer. (Or a doctor. Those can be useful too.)

Again, thank you.

Trailer is up.

Are you prepared for 2 yet? That is, do you have a proper controller? If not, there’s still time.

Really, D-Pad Hero isn’t meant to be played with a keyboard. If you thought the first game was hard, you’ll think this one is impossible. Unless you have a proper controller, that is.

I recommend the “Retrolink Nintendo NES USB Controller for PC and Mac”.

We’ve played DH2 with a PS3 controller, but compared to a NES controller, it’s just not the same thing.

Oh, while you’re at it, you might want to get a second controller as well.

May 01

After a long period of relentless work, we’re pleased to announce that D-Pad Hero 2 will be released at 00:00 CEST (Central European Summer Time), May 16.

Just like the first game, D-Pad Hero 2 will be a free download.

The time until the release can be tracked here.
Congratulations to donator Matthew, who gets his song wish come true! (Great choice, by the way.)

I’ve been listening a lot to the Castlevania I & II Game Boy games’ soundtracks lately, and just had to do a remix of Ripe Seeds and Praying Hands. YouTube video, NES ROM and MP3.
