Pirate Legend
Triangle Studios has updated their Kickstarter page with a couple of new pledge levels since I first posted the original story May 1'st. So far the pledges are going ok, but have slowed down a bit from what they where the first couple of days.There is a new $15 and $25 level, and just announced today a new $150 level that include a one of a kind, hand drawn sketch of Grutte Pier, the hero in Cross of the Dutchman. The sketch is drawn by Triangle’s Art Director, Pascal Brander.
They have also released a recently recorded live action video of the motion capture that they did for the fighting sequences in the game that was recorded at Gameship. There is no actual gameplay footage as of yet, but that will be coming up at some point. They do have some animated gifs of the game environment on their CoTD and Kickstarter pages that are pretty cool ,although they are fairly big so i didn't post them here.
This game is not going to be the typical pirate game that we are used to, but from some of the pirate offerings some of the typical publishers have been offering lately, I am all for trying something new, and this game will be based on historical fact with as far as I know, no magic or mysticism anywhere in site! there will be boarding actions in the game, but I am not sure if there will be any ship to ship battles, as CoTD takes place in the very early days of cannon. As soon as they give me some details on the types of ships that will be used I will post it here. I have helped them a bit over on their forums with some ship research and a few other things. You can find the full details of all the pledge levels on their Kickstarter page HERE, and you can find out more about the full game and follow all the latest developments over at Triangle Studios official Cross of the Dutchman web page HERE!
