April news! Super important!
🕑 Added 2016-04-11 00:43:20 +0000 UTC Hey everyone!"Where is Ækashics!?" Some of you may have wondered through the week!
Well I have been here! working pretty hard in a really big task, but I wanted to stay silent about it to make it a big surprise for you all!
And what is that large task you might ask?
Some context is required first!
From the start, the Librarium project has had the objective of providing free high quality battler resources for your games, however for a while now, and thinking solely in what you guys, the intended final users of these assets experience, there was something bothering me.
While at the start of the project I had a certain style in mind, said style didn't stay consistent through each release, you can notice this in different coloring styles, varying outline widths, etc. Thinking of how frustrating it probably feels to have this mismatch, I felt I couldn't postpone uniformity in the Librarium any longer, even more so at the sunset of the RTP alter series. Having said that, During the span of the past two weeks I managed to revamp and achieve a uniform look for every single currently available Librarium battler!
All 115 static monsters available in the current Librarium pool went through a revision which was by no means trivial!
You can see some of the results over here:

It surely took up a ton of time and effort (Twitter friends may have noticed my absence over there during this cycle, apologies!) But I feel the Librarium needed this major step in order to set everything up for things to come!
Though in some cases aesthetic upgrades were achieved, this was just a bonus, as the whole point of this revision was bringing uniformity for all past, current and future Librarium releases. In upcoming updates I'll be bundling the full-resolution PSDs for you guys as part of Wisp tier rewards!
There are a couple other things to announce as well;
For the sake of the sample project, A ton of things were planned along with the revamp of these assets! There will be a couple surprises in upcoming Minotaur tier sample project rewards!
Unfortunately, having acomplished the massive task of revising 115 battlers and preparing things for better Minotaur tier reward projects (Along with the ever pesky school work I guess haha.) leaves me with little time to wrap up a quality release for what would have been April 12th's update release! In order to ensure the quality you guys deserve, I'll be pushing said update to April 19th! I am extremely sorry for this, hopefully the quality increase in the revamped statics pack you'll receive along the bonus full-res PSDs for these monsters will make up for this! For now though, I at least want to leave you with a preview of one of the statics which will be available in said update, the Imp(which is up there)!
once again I deeply apologize for postponing the update a week, I hope you will enjoy everything that is to come, and with that super large task gone I can finally return to making regular updates for you all! Thank you everyone for supporting the Librarium project, I'll keep working hard to live up to the Librarium's mission!

Those previews look fantastic. Take your time on the update that had to be a tremendous amount of work. Those statics alone will be amazing when they are released.

The revamp is absolutely incredible, the preview images alone show just how much effort you put into it, far beyond simply cleaning up the width of the outline, epic epic work :D! A delay with the next release is more than understandable, and your efforts to improve the consistency, etc with everything would go to waste if you rushed for the release date so no worries at all. Seriously well done!!!!
No worries from my side. Take your time and thanks for the awesome creations. :D
This is amazing! Just those previews alone show how much work you have done and for 115 battlers take your time! I wouldn't have been mad even if you said you had to push the update back 2 weeks xD
Oh wow! I knew something was up, sneaky Poring! Hahaha. Thanks for this, loving them! <3
