Hey everybody -- It's just over 24 hours since we've published Cross of the Dutchman! We're getting some great responses, but also some remarks that convinced us to make some changes to the store page. Originally, we classified Cross of the Dutchman as an RPG, primarily because of the way you take control of the main character, and because of the interaction that can be had with other characters. Going by the reviews that we're seeing, most people would not classify our game as an RPG, and that is probably correct. So, what we've done to improve is update the store page. We've removed the RPG tag from the category description, and added tags like "hack-and-slash" instead. Hopefully, this better conveys what the game is actually about, and ensures that future players get what they expect from the game. We're constantly keeping track of the reviews and the posts made on the community board, so if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask! If you like to read what others think about Cross of the Dutchman, make sure to check out one of the following links:

• Kotaku wrote a bit on CotD
• And, Kotaku wonders if our Papercraft should be free ...
• Listen to what Jim Sterling has to say about CotD
• Or read the wonderful review by Softpedia.
• And if you're curious, you can check out one of the let's play videos!

Thank you all for playing, and we hope you'll enjoy Cross of the Dutchman! Cheers, Remco

We have created a video with more information on the history behind Cross of the Dutchman. As some of you may know, Cross of the Dutchman is based on the true story of Pier Gerlofs Donia. Because the story of Pier is a local legend, we knew it was important to share a bit more background information on how and why the events took place that we portray in the game. In the following developer video we share the story of the main character, Pier Gerlofs Donia, the history of his conflict, the legends and the legacy that he left behind. Make sure to watch the video and let us know what you think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mHi8nfUj1Q
