Yesterday we’ve finally released the official gameplay traler, and we can safely say that responses so far have been very positive! The other thing is, we don't see much of that enthusiasm convert to new backers just yet ... If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, check it out on the project home page or in the previous update. You can also download the high quality quicktime version directly from the CotD blog.
As for attention of the press, a very nice article was launched by the good folks over at Indie Games Channel. Check out the entire interview over at their site.
As a final bonus, we've got some great new screenshots. Check out the Environmental design of Bolsward in the series below! Bolsward is one of the first smaller cities in Cross of the Dutchman, and features a small harbor as well as a town square and a blacksmith. Like the other environments, the city is modeled after maps that we were able to find from that time. Bolsward is actually the hometown of one of the main characters in the game, so you will be visiting it often during your quests.

Oh my god your Dutchmen looks sooo mega awesome. I wonder why you just have about 10k on Kickstarter at the moment?! Hope you make it in the next days, though.
Thanks, we'll need a miracle though, but stranger things have happend ;)
I really like the artstyle. I'm anxious to see some more gameplay. Keep up the good work!
