Save my Eyes: Laser Cutter
Twist of a knob here, changing some lenses there...
Ahh yes! A much better focus point so that we aren't getting bits of metal thrown back in our face...
Save my Eyes Series:
The Save My Eyes Series was inspired by family members having difficulty playing certain
parts of the game due to extreme brightness changes, blinking, and flashing
elements. Many were far too fast and would cause headaches/migraines. So I set out to change or remove some of the worst visual FX while contemplating how
I can make the changes make sense in the game world.
