Congrats on the release!

I also experienced an problem with the game though. I installed it but when I tried to launch it nothing happened. During the install I was prompted by Windows to install some other software (DirectPlay I think?), which I did. I'm launching The Protectors.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\The Protectors. Any suggestions about how to fix this?

cheers

Sorry to hear you experienced eye strain while playing the game. We developed and tested with DK2 and never ran into that problem. I'm curious what your system specs are? Also, have you experienced eye strain with any other games on DK2? Thanks for your input.

Great write-up on your process! Was ZBrush the only 3D modeling tool you used?
