We did a lot of research in order to make our game look like it is really set in medieval Friesland. We already demonstrated lot of elements featuring these characteristics like buildings, characters, ships, landscapes, etc. One thing we haven’t talked about so far is the weather, which has a significant influence on the environment. A climate dictates which [...]
Not really Cross of the Dutchman related, but we would like to share it with you anyway. WINtA was nominated twice for a Dutch Game Award and managed to win in one of the categories :). Of course we aim for CotD to be a contender for one of the awards next year. Triangle Studios [...]

Another week, another picture. Pascal keeps popping up in these, so here he is again, reviewing a scene from the teaser trailer with Timen. A small bonus — a view of the Kanban board we put together for Ronald and Pascal, who will be working on creating (a ton) of 3D assets over the next [...]
Just four weeks ago, we posted an article about our search for a 3D artist to join our team. We’ve had dozens of applications and a number of interviews, but we’ve finally made our decision. From next monday (yes — we move quicky) Ronald will join our team in Leeuwarden! We are very happy to [...]
It’s always nice when someone pays attention to our project, especially when the attention comes from within the industry. Needless to say, we were quite happy see that Control — a magazine for the Dutch games industry — had picked up the news of Cross of the Dutchman, and posted an article about it in [...]
Most of you are getting used to the frequent CotD upgrades, but are probably curious about the progress we’re making. Time to update you on the matter!

Historically, villages were small clustered settlements or communities, larger than a hamlet and with a population ranging from a few hunderd to a few thousand.
