The release party in Cologne

Countless evenings, weekends and summer holidays went into the game. With about 70 loyal fans the team celebrated the release in Cologne on April 19, 2008. There was a new 3D trailer, scenes from the game, lots of talk about adventures and T-shirts with the two headed squirrel. Finally the team unpacked the boxes of DVDs and handed out the game.

The DVD came in a professionally printed case with a color cover and a small booklet of newspaper clippings. The party ended in the early morning when the last guests left the bar Palaver. Some of them were back up a few hours later to set up download mirrors and write blog posts.

The Director's Cut

Right after the German release the team started working on a Director's Cut. Besides enhancements and new features it was to include an English version, and not a mere translation: the characters were to be professionally voiced. The team asked the community for voice actors and translators. Seth Paul became the English voice of Zak, Pete Donaldson voices Jerry Brockhaus.

The Director's Cut was released in 2015 with English, German and French and many fixes. It is still the current version and free to download.
