While both scenes are quite drastically different in tone, they are shockingly similar in composition. The bottom half of the video is a scene from the 2001 animated blockbuster Shrek, where Donkey (Eddie Murphy) comes face to face with the dragon that would ultimately become Donkey's lover, which culminates with a number of donkey/dragon babies at the end of the movie. Twitter user The Pixel Factor posted a split-screen video that shows part of this Game of Thrones scene with Jon Snow apprehensively watching as Dany's dragon Drogon lowers its massive head to come face to face with the King In the North. It matches up surprisingly close to a scene from the DreamWorks Animation hit Shrek. But one fan noticed something odd about that scene. While fans know that the dragon responding to him is likely because he has Targaryen blood coursing through his veins, Jon Snow and Daenerys don't know that yet. There was one particular scene in Eastwatch (which set yet another Game of Thrones ratings record despite the episode leaking early online) that fans paid close attention to, showing Jon Snow's (Kit Harington) first up close and personal interaction with Daenerys Targaryen's (Emilia Clarke) dragon, Drogon. We plan to use these feedback loops to decide the newest feature releases and most important bugs to fix.If you haven't seen last week's Eastwatch episode of Game of Thrones yet, there will be plenty of SPOILERS below, so read on at your own risk.

“Yes, we expect the full version will be released at a higher price than the Early Access version. Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We don't want to make specific promises, but our goals are to have a Dragon Rider character that is personalized by the player, as well as the dragon itself.
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “We expect at least 6 months in Early Access.” We hope that Early Access players can help us fine-tune the play of the game to make it even better, as well as offer feedback on what additions we should focus on, and which ones we should simply drop.”Īpproximately how long will this game be in Early Access? As we move forward, we'll be adding more in-depth customization options and features. We've got Dragon Rider to the point where it's a fully playable multiplayer game in both VR and non-VR.
