[Blog] YOU make the game: Developing new dragons straight from player’s designs!

Did you know that Auratia, the world of Dragon’s Prophet, is home for more than 600 unique dragon species? Most of them were born from the imagination of Runewaker artists, and some are the result of unique collaborations, such as the most amazing Mike Sass’s dragons.

We’ve recently decided to push this collaborative logic forward and to really get our players involved into the core development process of Dragon’s Prophet.

Our contest « Design a Dragon » not only led to the birth of the winning player’s dragon Sylvaran, but also to the realization that our community hosted many talented artists with endless creativity and enthusiasm for dragons.

Browsing through their many designs and awesome ideas, we’ve decided to pick some of the most professional, original and cool looking ones and to start experimenting around it.

We are now really proud to be able to announce the upcoming arrival of two new player based dragons in game. Those designs were kindly lent to us by the talented 22Rii. Runewaker design artists are almost done with the bone structure, as you can see below:

Textures should soon follow!

It’s a unique chance to be able to develop new universes and creative ideas not only for players, but also with players.

We are very excited to see our community’s response to such collaborative projects, and aim at making Prophets even more involved into changing their own world.
