ANIMATION AND SUPPORTING MODELS — CC0 1.0
-----------------------------------------

Universal Animation Library
Creator: Quaternius (@Quaternius)
Creator site: https://quaternius.com/
Animation viewer: https://quaternius.com/animviewer.html
Support the creator: https://www.patreon.com/quaternius
License: CC0 1.0 Universal
License text: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
Changes made for 1KAR: animation clips were retargeted and adapted to the game
rigs; supporting knight/equipment models are used as fallbacks where required.


LICENSED ANIMATION CONTENT
--------------------------

Sword & Shield Moves
Creator/publisher: Reallusion
Platform: ActorCore
Official site: https://actorcore.reallusion.com/
Use: licensed content. The original animation source files are subject to the
applicable Reallusion/ActorCore license and are not relicensed as open content.
Changes made for 1KAR: 45 motions were retargeted to the game characters,
embedded into the runtime models, and synchronized with the combat system.


BATTLE AUDIO
------------

Medieval battle ambience #4
Production: generated by the 1KAR project owner with ElevenLabs Sound Effects
Source tool: https://elevenlabs.io/sound-effects
Asset origin: user-provided original generation
Usage: subject to the ElevenLabs plan and terms applicable when the asset was
generated and published with the project.
Changes made for 1KAR: looped across the complete supporting recording and
mixed into one final stereo ambience file at source gain 0.2.

Successful combat impacts: sword hit, heavy kick, shield charge
Production: generated by the 1KAR project owner with ElevenLabs Sound Effects
Source tool: https://elevenlabs.io/sound-effects
Asset origin: three user-provided original generations
Usage: subject to the ElevenLabs plan and terms applicable when the assets were
generated and published with the project.
Changes made for 1KAR: leading silence was removed from each recording while
preserving 48 kHz stereo PCM quality. The three files are decoded before use
and synchronized to the combat contact timestamp. They play only when damage
passes through defence; a 100% defended zone retains the existing block sound.
The successful sword recording was shortened to its first impact: the later
pause and sigh-like second event were removed, with a short fade applied to the
remaining impact tail.

Sword Combat Sound Effects Pack — FREE VERSION
Creator: Hove Audio
Creator page: https://hoveaudio.itch.io/
Source: https://hoveaudio.itch.io/sword-combat-sound-effects-pack-free-version

required by the creator. Credit is voluntarily provided here.
Changes made for 1KAR: selected metal collisions, whooshes, and ring
effects; removed leading silence; resampled to 48 kHz; encoded as MP3; and
randomized and synchronized with the combat animation timeline.

Vikings in battle (swords crossing, shields bashing, men yelling)

License summary: https://pixabay.com/service/license-summary/
Changes made for 1KAR: mixed at source gain 0.1 beneath the generated ambience.
Both sources are rendered offline into one final MP3; the browser plays only
that single combined media file.

Creator: StarNinjas
Source: https://opengameart.org/content/20-sword-sound-effects-attacks-and-clashes
License: CC0 1.0 Universal
