Resources - Assets

The following external assets were used in the game. They were provided by MegaScans, have been accessed via Quixel Bridge and were exported directly into the project. This is why I don't provide links to the assets individually or cite them in harvard style, but you may click on the item to see the asset ID.

Resources - Dragon Database

The player's journal contains a document collection of the different dragon types that are mentioned in human history. To establish a connection between the game and reality I used photographs and illustrations that belong to the public domain, giving the player something real to explore. The pictures and websites where I gathered the facts for the dragon database are listed below.
