Weve just released a new update is available for Cross of the Dutchman! In this patch, we address one issue in particular that players were experiencing when playing the game. Were also adding two additional languages to the game, so more people will be able to enjoy the game in their native language!
Bulgarian
Weve added the Bulgarian language to the game with the help of Keat. You can change the language to Bulgarian by going into the options menu in the game.
Danish
Weve added the Danish language to the game with the help of FiatLux. You can change the language to Danish by going into the options menu in the game. The both of you are awesome for helping us out. We hope that a lot of new people will be able to enjoy Cross of the Dutchman in Danish and Bulgarian!
White screen bug
A number of players reported that they were experiencing an issue where their entire screen would turn white, making it impossible for them to play the game. This bug has now been addressed and fixed, allowing everyone to play as Grutte Pier once more! We want to thank daniel.mantione in particular, since he was the community member who first reported the issue. He even helped us pin-point the problem, and assisted us with testing the solution! Thanks Daniel, you rock! Please use our community hub community hub to discuss the game, ask for help or find guides that help you complete all the achievements for the Cross of the Dutchman!

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!

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

The story takes place in medieval Western Europe, in the province of Frisia, near the turn of the 16th century. Though Pier and his family lived in peace, the world around them was changing for the worse. Saxon legions were invading nearby villages, making the lives of the native people next to impossible. On one fateful day, Pier got involved with the Saxon oppressors, escalating the situation for the worse. The events portrayed in this great adventure caused Pier to gather a band of farmers and form a front against the oppressors. The acts that followed made Pier into the legend he is known for, the Cross of the Dutchman.
