Weekend Librarium Blog!

Hello Everyone!

How was the weekend for you? For Librarium, as busy as the entire month has been, so let's review it a bit!

For the past 2 days since the last release(Archfiend Asmodeus) I have been diligently working on the Ultimate Weapon Apex release, which as of this writing, is almost complete! Given the scale of this monster on every front, it is taking more than the usual 14 hours these releases take, but here are some previews!

As now usual, the original battler received drawing retouches, and the Animation rig received the more detailed glow and smear improvement format!

After this release (Hopefully in a few more hours from now), I will be posting the August 2022 polls, and through the 25th till the 28th I will be creating and posting the static designs for the July 2022 poll winning picks, as was the original plan, with their full releases and respective animated versions prioritized on the daily releases starting on August 1st! It will pretty much mirror and continue the distribution style and format we started this month and has seen success in our community!

The 29th till the 31st will be used to wrap up the work I've been doing on the Librarium RPG Maker MZ sample project and its tileset, with the posting of these going live on the 31st as well!

With the Completion of Ultimate Weapon Apex we will have broken into the
March 2022 catch up phase, the original goal was to reach all the way into February 2022  but along this catchup effort path I noticed that the distribution format  and sense of organization was of equal importance for our community, and I also couldn't help but improve upon the quality of animations and sprites a bit further, as we walk into the new Era I want Librarium to feel a lot more professional than it ever did, and while it certainly impacted and made it impossible to have double daily full releases as had been the vision at the start of the month(With these releases taking 12 to 14 hours on average to be created and the day only having 24 hrs :( ), I believe the semi-daily full release format , along not leaving other areas of Librarium unattended will pay off a lot more in the long and not so long run! 

The August release Schedule calendar will be very different and grounded to reflect this insight, but more than ever I think I have a clear idea of what Librarium's daily work format during any given month will be like from now on:

-First 3 weeks of the month = Semi-daily/daily when possible single Full releases, general updates to the batch libraries, fixes to broken and missing battlers, and spin off packs work

-Last week of the month = Preparation work for the running month content, release of the static designs here on patreon, Sample project updating, Tileset additions and fixing

This has seemed to work rather well for our community so far! 

Like I always established, the production of Librarium assets is guaranteed, always with evolution and forward thinking in mind!

I appreciate your enormous patience up until this point, and I hope these new and continued efforts make it feel like it has paid off and will continue to pay off! Thanks for believing in Librarium as a whole, I'm readier than ever to create more battlers, animated battlers and pixels for our community , thank you I'm honored to have this opportunity!
