Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

Not even sure more than 5 people like Dorya over Huzzah, really o.o;
Probably depends on how many people actually want the change....Schokobecher said:

Dorya is a Japanese word. This is an English translation. You'll notice how some things, like Grasstown/Bushland, which are just as tricky to translate, have English names. This is why I believe that Huzzah should stay Huzzah.

Even if they decide against Huzzah, Dorya would be the LAST WORD they would ever use BECAUSE IT IS A JAPANESE WORD! English speakers typically DO NOT understand Japanese words, that is THE ENTIRE POINT behind English translations. Changing "Huzzah" to "Dorya" is a step backwards translation-wise.
How many time must I say this?

I dunno....
Haven't you guys seen games in other languages, where certain parts use English phrases?
Like, Mario Wrecking Crew '98. I've got a Japanese version, so I can't understand any of the story line, and I still don't understand most of how the game works, but English words like "READY" "START" and "END" are in the game. O.o;
I'm not saying that Cave Story will be the same thing, but I'm not throwing the idea of Doryaa replacing Huzzah out the window, just yet....
