Progress on the August 2022 Battler designs, month wrap up and plans for the next 5 days!
🕑 Added 2022-08-31 22:28:18 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Yesterday I mentioned I would attempt to complete as many battlers for today as possible, With that said today I decided to start with the Ultimate Dragons!
These 3 alone already took up 18 hours already however! :( As I thought, it just is not possible to rush and grind Librarium designs in a single day, not with the current quality standards guiding our releases. I will not be able to complete all the 16 designs today, I apologize for this ! Instead I think I can squeeze in the Titanoboa next into today( Though a bit not sure since I've only slept like 4 hours in the past 72 hours haha) and start the August 2022 megathread with the release of the Ultimate Dragons tonight! (Just need a quick 2 hours power nap right now, brain barely working right nowhaha)
I am sorry for this delay, the production of the August 2022 battlers should have started a few days earlier, but Conqueror Drakus along the regular weekend updates to the Librarium tileset proved to be massive tasks(Even Outrath for whom I made and test 5 distinctive attack animations ended up taking about 22ish hours somehow), far more challenging and demanding than I had anticipated, so we basically ran out of days for the August 2022 battlers!
I am also super stressed that this month we didn't squeeze in more catch up full releases so for September I have decided the following immediate plans:
- The remaining August 2022 battlers will be completed by September 5th, posted up as soon as they are completed to the megathread that will be going up tonight!
- The full releases for them will begin on the 6th, with more accurate time completion windows
- There will only be one small update to the Librarium tileset during September in order to advanced through the Catch up effort full releases where we left off (March 2022), Though the Tileset was High priority as it had been abandoned for a while, I believe it is now in a much better state that we can leave it be for September and focus on the equally imporant catch up full releases!
So far the roadmaps have turned out to be estimated releases and dates rather than hard dates, this estimate nature was not the intention for them, though back when they debuted I was still in the process of refining our current release format and had not taken into account how making our full releases richer both in terms of quality and other nice stuff like adding them to the sample project on their debut date, was going to impact the initially estimated dates. By now I think our community is happy with the release format as it is, and I have polished it to cover all it possibly needs to for now, so I will take all the insight into account to plan in a more careful and realistic fashion the dates for the September roadmap!
The journey for improvement continues, but you can be certain of one thing, one way or another, delays or not, you will keep seeing a constant stream of releases!
Thanks for your support during August 2022!

Wow it's big

haha thanks Empyrean! Yeah there will not be a stop in the stream of updates, but this is also why I set the 5th as the deadline to complete these, gotta factor in that minimum required sleep to function!

I always wondered how you could maintain such a tight release schedule, and now it make more sense As some people already stated, please, take care of yourself We know you want to do better, and stick to the schedule as much as possible, but we would not be sad or even angry if you are late, or heck, even remove some update monthly I ( and I'm probably speaking for the majority of us ) are greatly satisfied by both the quality and quantity of your work And if the quality stays the same, the quantity can definitely be toned down. Cheers buddy

Haha its okay! I love doing what we do here, It was just the sense of urgency this time around, but yup, this is why I chose the 5th as the completion date, it takes into account the minimum health-required sleep!

Dude, you gotta relax a bit, and take care of yourself. We'll still be here if you take a little longer on each thing, just knowing you are actively working on them and getting a release every few days would be fine. Your rest and sleep schedule are more important than following a strict release schedule. I'm a workahaulic too, but I've mostly managed to get it to where it doesn't mess with my sleep schedule, and have been much happier since. With that said, the dragons are looking based, dope, and superlit, I'll definitely be getting some use out of those down the road haha. And I will continue looking forwards to the other stuff you do~

yeah that's why I set the date for the 5th :) I need to take into account *some* form of sleep , silly human limitations! well nolt just some sleep, the minimun required and considered healthy 6-8 hoursish

4 hour sleep for 3 days? That's not good O: Make sure you're getting proper resting, skipping sleep or greatly reducing sleep time for one day is fine, but prolonged lack of sleep can have pretty negative effects on both physical and mental health in long-term (been through that myself in my teenage years) >:
