- * \brief The ResourceManager is responsible for storing and managing assets over

+ * \brief Owner of concrete Resource instances
  * 
- * The ResourceManager ensures that assets are loaded once and can be accessed
- * across different scenes. It caches assets to avoid reloading them every time
- * a scene is loaded. Assets are retained in memory until the ResourceManager is
- * destroyed, at which point the cached assets are cleared.
+ * ResourceManager caches concrete Resource instances per Asset. Concrete resources are
+ * destroyed at the end of scenes by default, unless the game programmer marks them as
+ * persistent.
