Cross of the Dutchman is an action-adventure game about our cultural heritage, the place where we come from (Friesland) and the language that the locals still speak (Frisian). It tells the true story of ‘Grutte Pier’ (Pier the Great), a folk hero who fought to free the land of our ancestors. Our goal is to create an authentic game that not only reflects the story of Grutte Pier, but also reflects living in the 16th century in a stunning game experience.
Cross of the Dutchman is based on the folk legend of Pier Gerlofs Donia. He lived peacefully with his wife Rintsje in Kimswerd and he was destined to be a farmer. One day their village got plundered by saxon mercenaries. While he was trying to save the village from burning down, they caught Rintsje and killed her. In search for revenge he gathered an army around him and started fighting against the oppressors of Friesland. Soon his cause became a matter for all Frisian people, because he took it upon him to free Friesland.

It. Is. Finally. Here! The official gameplay trailer for Cross of the Dutchman is ready for all of you to behold and enjoy. For the first time, we're showing the action that lies within this great project in motion!
The video will show you how our hero, Grutte Pier, commands his soldiers into battle, and wields his enormous blade to defeat those who stand against him. Even though many aspects of the game are still work in progress, it is immediately visible how quick responses and commands are needed to turn each battle in your favor and achieve your goals.
From this day forward, we will post daily project updates, using statistics and metics to give you all the information on what is happening behind the scenes. With only 8 days (and 13 hours) to go, we need all backers to help us spread the news about Cross of the Dutchman, and I am confident that together we will be able to achieve our goals!
Also, we would like to send our regards to the people at Aterdux Entertainment, who have successfully reached their Kickstarter goal for Legend of Eisenwald! Congratulations guys, we wish you all the best!

I must say guys being a fellow developer I can honestly see the effort put into this game, I really hope you reach your kick-starter goal, Best of luck to ya!
Beautiful
Your game looks pretty!
Looking really good! I'm not Dutch unlike most of the commenters, I think that in of Norwegian decent is you go back a bit, but non the less I have always loved this style and concept, tracking and hopefully eventually buying it, is there any real game play yet, or is most of the work cosmetic so far? Nice game :)
This game is from the netherlands but the language will be (Westerlauwers Fries: Frysk, Noord-Fries: fresk/friisk/frasch, Saterfries: Fräisk) so if your not from the netherlands most people in the netherlands don't understand what they are speaking about because whe speak dutch.
Don't try to learn the language from this game becaus this is not the official language form the netherlands.
Ah I see, but will there be an option for fans to create a language pack in Dutch or English? Or will you do this yourself maybe afterwards?
I'm from the Netherlands, so I simply have to track, for now anyway.
really liking the look of this. so....tracking!
are you dutch yourself?
i am!! kind of cool that you are making a game that is going to be about the netherlands.
the game is about Friesland not the netherlands ther is a cultural difference with the rest of the netherlands like the rest of the netherlands don't understand what the hell the friese people are saying.
