Via Kickstarter 50 duizend dollar ophalen voor een game over een Nederlandse, nee, Fríese volksheld? Dat lijkt mij een schier onmogelijke opgave, maar dat weerhoudt Triangle Studios er niet van het te proberen.
De ontwikkeling van Cross of the Dutchman is al een eindje onderweg en om de game echt af te maken en naar consoles te brengen, is extra geld nodig — zo legt co-founder Remco de Rooij uit in de begeleidende video (zie boven). Zoals gezegd, het gaat niet makkelijk worden, dus wij zullen de Friezen waar mogelijk ondersteunen — zoals u kunt zien in de rechterbalk.
Minimale inleg is 1 dollar, maar dat is wel erg sneu. Voor meer geld kom je als NPC in de game terecht. Dat zou toch moeten appelleren aan chauvinistische gevoelens in de Provinsje Fryslân? We hopen het van harte!
