Dawn of the final day, 24 hours remain.
This is it. For one full month, this campaign has kept us awake, pushed the limits of what we were able to write, create and show to the world. And now, with little less than 24 hours left on the clock, we will continue to push until the very end, and bring you the latest about Cross of the Dutchman.
First; Yesterday and Friday, Pascal Brander was hosting a Livestream where you could witness the creation process of the Kickstarter poster. A lot of you joined us for hours on end, asking questions about the game and about Pascals' techniques. For those of you who don't have 12 hours to watch the whole thing, we've compressed the second session in a video of about 11 minutes (much better, isn't it?). And of course, we're happy to show the final result. This A0-sized poster has tremendous detail and quality, and we can't wait to see it in real life! You too can receive the poster simply by backing us at the $250 level.
Second; the good people at FOK! dedicated a second article to Cross of the Dutchman on their website. Even though the interview is in Dutch, it's definitely a good read if you want to know about the specifics of running a Kickstarter project, and gameplay decisions in Cross of the Dutchman.
And finally, I would like to thank everybody who stood behind this project so far. You are our most avid supporters, and I sincerely hope that you will keep supporting and following the project beyond Kickstarter. Personally, I believe that Cross of the Dutchman is a game well worth playing, and it warms my heart to see that many of you have already shown your dedication to the project. Please consider sharing this message with your friends one more time, and let's hope for something great to happen!
