Hello there Aekashics, I would like to talk to you about potentially paying you to add more battlers from my imagination to your collection. I'm sure you are fairly busy but, if you are curious please email me at blankswhoisthat@yahoo thank you for your time :)
First let me tell you that I love your work :) Good job you done.
I am an old fan of browser games, and I want to build one. I dont find anything about this in ToS , where it say we can use in any game engine and the game I will build is practically a site that will run in browser. (like gladiatus, ogame, bitefight, torn etc if you know )
Better late than never. As I wrote in the post, at some point in your artist journey, you more think about MEANINGFUL impact of your art. Sadly making QUALITATIVE these type of games is an uphill battle (especially as a hobbyist). In my exp, even cooperating with mental health NGO there comes time, when they do not have enough resources and must be discontinued the project or at least freeze for a few months. And without them there is not enough expertise to make the content, effectively test it. And although slowly the industry changes, including more mental health games, the industry (especially publishers) will not truly embrace it until the breakthrough hit (like "Slay the spire" did for rogue like deck builders). Sorry for the rant, but when the system vastly enables escapism and suppresses solving the underlying problem, you know that it is a bad system. So called "whales" and how they are used is a great example.
Hi, first of all, these are superb. Just wondering. I'm trying to make a TRPG (DnD mainly) content on youtube and i found your assets to be really helpful. Am i permitted to use this for commercial use outside of making a game? It's gonna be in a form of a playthrough live stream.
You are permitted to use them with commercial purposes so long as credit behind the monsters is given out, either on the video where they are featured or the video description where they are featured!
I love the masters, are there like items and characters as well? I want to make a complete card game using these resources. I'm good with the Patreon but want to know if I can get everything in the same art style.
Cool! BTW, when it comes to game engines, are there any alterations I would need to do to make the static battlers work in VX Ace, or are they compatible as-is?
Awesome artwork! For the bimonthly update cycles, is there a way to find out what is being released in each update reward cycle before you become a Patreon member, or do you have to pledge first on patreon before you find out what might be released? I wanted to check because I am not sure what tier of Patreon to sign up for. Tier 5 seems to be the best because you get animated stuff, but then is the update cycle reward supposed to be unknown before you join or before its release?
To answer your question, the release roster is decided through community polls on a monthly basis, results are usually decided by the 15th of the month, each month!
Hey I did not find a way to contact so I will write a comment here I hope this is okay. I am a small German Pen&PaperRPG Author who sells maybe 30 Books or something of each work so its just a hobby if we are honest. I would love to use some of these as monsters in one of my new works but I wanted to ask if its okay as this is not video game related.
I noticed that the dragon bones use custom action sequences, but they are all based on the old MV setup. MZ doesn't use note tags.... you also reference things like:
//-- SlimeDefender -- Attack Settings (copy '#20 Attack' as a base)
#20 isn't an Attack in MZ. Heck, even the base empty MV only went to 10.
What are you referring to? If it was the demo project, that's a dead link now.
Just trying to figure out how to move forward with them in MZ, everything works well with the VisuaStella DragonBones -> just want to give that AI something to use.
The Ultrapack was released during the MV era so many settings are legacy from that initial release (And the sample files available back then)
In MZ you need to create your own action sequences with the framework the visustella plugins established for it, but what matters in order to be able to do this are the Motion names, which are visible under the settings file for each release, for example :
Hey there Aekashics! I'm already about half-way through recreating the entire download. Maybe once I'm done, I'll create a sample project with them all in there for use. :D Now if I can just stop being lazy..... mwahahahaaa... god I am getting old...
I was wondering: since I am a Dragon Tier, Where can I find the parts PSDs and etc. for that level? Strangely enough, I became rather good at the dragon bones.
On a different note, I've left messages directly in Patron but no replies there. Where is the Discord server? Binding to it on the website doesn't add it to the Discord App.
There was a delay in patreon notifications reaching my email, apologies! I have already reached out to you over there!
PSD files are available as part of reward sets for featured releases during specific periods, the reply I sent you over patreon breaks down better how rewards are delivered and accessed!
There is no Librarium Discord server, Patreon lists the feature but it only works for patreon campaigns that actually incorporate a server, I am not sure why it appears on my page as it seems as a setting I can't hide/unhide myself, at least based on my own attempts that was the case orz
Sorry for the ridiculously late request, I got sent overseas for a stint of time.. a few years it would seem. I'm back and happy to see you're still kicking it hardcore. I was wondering something - are there any packs or a way to request just the "loot drops" from everything? I have many of the critters already, or versions of them, and noticed you started adding nice loot drop icons. These themed drops are magnificent immersion additions and I would love to know how to get them.
To answer your question, unfortunately no, techncially that's already an option for patrons as you get to access and claim all the post 2021 patreon content upon joining, though the link claiming is a manual procedure
So i have decided to stall my current RPG maker project and start a game on unity. And i am gonna go for a mini game within my game that players have to collect cards that they can battle against each other and the cards will come alive and battle idk lol still working out how i want this to work. And ill be using this huge collection of wonderful art fir this portion of the game. Ill still be finishing the rpg maker game. But with off of your creatures i can make complete sets. I cant wait! Thanks for all the amazing work.
I am a fan of RPG maker from China. I really like your works. I have joined the sponsorship queue! Look forward to you can continue to make better works! Love you!
Hello ! In this world there are some heros... and you're one of them ! I'm developing a RPG alone so without you and your work, I'll can do anything... Really thank you, you're awesome ! Now you have new Dragon in your Patreon :D
Hello, first i'm in love with your work, it's amazing, i foresee to buy most of your pack for my game and i would ask you if you mind to create one day Phoenix ashes (static battler) for the Phoenix ? (sorry if my english is bad)
coincidentally however I have a statics megapack projected to be completed by January 2021 and Phoenix ashes is among the battlers that will be included there, as we have several fire bird and phoenix releases in Librarium!
Hello, I was wondering is it ok if I redraw your battlers for my game, in order to more so fit my own artstyle. I planned on crediting you regardless since these are your designs... but I was curious if that was ok. I feel it falls under edits, but I wanted to be sure.
Thanks for reaching out! I don't see any problem as It does fall under edits, with the rest of Librarium terms of use applying to that output (Such as no redistribution outside of your game of edited assets, etc)
Hi! I'm looking at your sprites, specifically the map sprites, and I'm having trouble identifying which sprite set gets used for which enemy, since there's so many. Do you have a handy cheat sheet for what battlers go with which Big Monster Sheet? Thanks so much for all your hard work, these are amazing!
Hey Aekashics, I downloaded a large ultra pack a while back that had 6 zodiac creatures in it... I was wondering if you ever released the other 6 creatures and if so, where can I find them?
They were released sometime after January 2019, thus they are part of the Patreon backer batch libraries including the most up to date releases as well as all the releases after January 2019!
Awesome man, thanks for the fast reply. I forgot that was where I found them, I think I still have you set up on Patreon.
Edit: Hey, do you have a master list of all your work somewhere? Seems it's spread out over a couple different sites. I would love to take some time and look over everything again, I am just getting back into RPG Maker.
I'm getting a lot of errors when trying to use the DragonBones, I tried to contact the Visustella people, but until now they didn't know what is causing the problem, I don't know if it's a compatibility problem with MZ or the plug-ins from Visustella ):
Im actually going over the process of checking some reported animated battlers, I will be fixing issues with the Virgel and Wukong battler this week, and I will be checking other battlers gradually!
Cool! I really wanted to use the DragonBones in my project, all the DragonBones I got from this mega pack are giving me a problem here, if you want I can send you a print of the error in the email.
hello good sir. First of all sorry for my english xD I love your assets :D Im creating a TCG game i just have the main idea, but i found our art so cool. Can i use it? how can i get the commercial use?
Have a good day sir. And one more time i love your work
Hello Adrian! The answer to both questions is yes, commercial usage is allowed, if the art will go on printed cards you just need to credit the name " aekashics " on them somewhere , in the same vein MTG credits card artwork!
Amazing pack, I could just afford 5$ for now sorry, but definitely a worthy pack, just few things - are the characters different in the DraginBones Animated Battlesr and MV format Animated Battlers - are there any Orcs in the static poses
To answer your questions, There are more characters available in the Dragonbones animated battler format, and yes there is an Orcish archetype within the statics included into this ultrapack!
hello! Aekashics, thanks for your reply , and sorry for my english
I saw lots of your brillant artworks in your community,
but I'm little confused about the wisp tier and dragon tier when I saw the snapshot of your assets.
the wisp tier is about static monsters just like the samples on the right side of this comments, but I found that the monters in dragon tier is pixel assets, so the spine and dragonbone animations is pixels, not the animated ones of the static monsters in wisp tier ?
if you just want to grab all the latest base releases you can join at the $1 per update cycle tier and gain access to the updated batch library, which features all the latest battlers!
Other paid packs here on my itch fall under two categories, Reward sets associated to base releases based on patreon's scheme, and new and different asset lines which don't fall under the content that is released on patreon!

wow that's a lot of art! with a very nice style! ♥
Thank you!
A question, I plan to create a rpg game and I would like to know what I have to put in the credit, only Aekashics or I put https://aekashics.itch.io/.
Either would be okay!
I have a question for this, is this pack commissionable for any games we make?
Commissionable as in usable? BEcause if so, the answer is yes!
Used some of the monsters for my clicker project. draykelogan.itch.io/click-click-doom
Awesome images.
nice clickker!

It is allowed to use librarium pack for this? https://aekashics.itch.io/aekashics-librarium-librarium-static-batch-megapack
Also I want to buy the NPC packs for same project ( https://aekashics.itch.io/librarium-npc-character-pack-i and other paid packs )
Of course I will also join on Patreon.
Best Regards and good luck
Hello Kosmin!
You can use Librarium assets for any target platform, or develop in any engine of your choice!
Thanks for your interest and support!
Will all of these work for RPGM MV or just the Format Animated Battlers?
All should work!
Grateful for your world class art. I hope that this will inspire you, want to know your opinion https://itch.io/t/1192469/suicide-prevention-with-games . My attempt is still in Alpha: https://mind-blowing-games.itch.io/jojoish-coin-shooter (SO HAPPY about sprites, still cannot believe that it is for free even in commercial games).
its actually very nice! I like this type of games :)
I also apologize for the late reply!
Better late than never. As I wrote in the post, at some point in your artist journey, you more think about MEANINGFUL impact of your art. Sadly making QUALITATIVE these type of games is an uphill battle (especially as a hobbyist). In my exp, even cooperating with mental health NGO there comes time, when they do not have enough resources and must be discontinued the project or at least freeze for a few months. And without them there is not enough expertise to make the content, effectively test it. And although slowly the industry changes, including more mental health games, the industry (especially publishers) will not truly embrace it until the breakthrough hit (like "Slay the spire" did for rogue like deck builders). Sorry for the rant, but when the system vastly enables escapism and suppresses solving the underlying problem, you know that it is a bad system. So called "whales" and how they are used is a great example.
is there any possible way to get your tilesets separately? I've been looking for them
Hello!
Currently they only exist as part of Librarium Patreon reward sets!
Hi, first of all, these are superb. Just wondering. I'm trying to make a TRPG (DnD mainly) content on youtube and i found your assets to be really helpful. Am i permitted to use this for commercial use outside of making a game? It's gonna be in a form of a playthrough live stream.
Hello Shadow!
Thanks for your interest!
You are permitted to use them with commercial purposes so long as credit behind the monsters is given out, either on the video where they are featured or the video description where they are featured!
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Amazing
Thank you!
I love the masters, are there like items and characters as well? I want to make a complete card game using these resources. I'm good with the Patreon but want to know if I can get everything in the same art style.
There are several humanoid characters available nowadays!
However items don't exist in battler format, however this does give me the idea to draw some weapons and items at some point!
is that the car for all your work or just this pack above?
Cool! BTW, when it comes to game engines, are there any alterations I would need to do to make the static battlers work in VX Ace, or are they compatible as-is?
Hello!
You might have to adapt these assets dimension wise to fit the screen size of your projects according to the engine you are using!
Awesome artwork! For the bimonthly update cycles, is there a way to find out what is being released in each update reward cycle before you become a Patreon member, or do you have to pledge first on patreon before you find out what might be released? I wanted to check because I am not sure what tier of Patreon to sign up for.

Hello over here Meta!

Are you saying that this amazing work if free to download and use in both commercial and non commercial use?!?!?!
Hello IwoMalki!
You can!You can find Librarium's terms of use in detail here:

Hey there Aekashics!
I'm already about half-way through recreating the entire download.

Now if I can just stop being lazy..... mwahahahaaa... god I am getting old...

what could I do to get all of em from the time ya started doing that? sometime military duty recalls suck so much
How many simple animated characters can you make for $20?
So i have decided to stall my current RPG maker project and start a game on unity. And i am gonna go for a mini game within my game that players have to collect cards that they can battle against each other and the cards will come alive and battle idk lol still working out how i want this to work.

Thanks for all the amazing work.

Hope you continue to find Librarium Materials useful!
I suggest you to try out GODOT (prefer over Unity). The jump from Unity is relatively easy.
I am a fan of RPG maker from China. I really like your works. I have joined the sponsorship queue! Look forward to you can continue to make better works! Love you!
Hello Wangfeihukimi!
Thanks for your kind words and interest!
Please look forward to future Librarium releases ! :D
I don't know why Petron blocked my account...
I really can't think of any other way now
China lol, its japan
hey these are amazing but i was wondering of i could use some of these for my game?
Hello ! In this world there are some heros... and you're one of them ! I'm developing a RPG alone so without you and your work, I'll can do anything... Really thank you, you're awesome ! Now you have new Dragon in your Patreon :D
Thank you very much for your kind words!

Hello Lost Wisdom, thanks for your kind words!
Right now the idea has not been suggested by our community!
Typically suggestions for new are made over at Librarium's suggestion box

Ok, thank you so much for clarifying that for me! As I said, I'll be sure to credit you for designs. Have a good one.
Hi! I'm looking at your sprites, specifically the map sprites, and I'm having trouble identifying which sprite set gets used for which enemy, since there's so many. Do you have a handy cheat sheet for what battlers go with which Big Monster Sheet? Thanks so much for all your hard work, these are amazing!
Hello!
Unfortunately I don't have one right out of the box, but it is something ill consider adding eventually, thanks for the suggestion!
Hey Aekashics, I downloaded a large ultra pack a while back that had 6 zodiac creatures in it... I was wondering if you ever released the other 6 creatures and if so, where can I find them?

They were released sometime after January 2019, thus they are part of the Patreon backer batch libraries including the most up to date releases as well as all the releases after January 2019!
https://aekashics.itch.io/librarium-batch-libraries
$1 pledge tier patrons get access to all previous and current animated & static base releases!
Let me know if you have any further questions!
Awesome man, thanks for the fast reply. I forgot that was where I found them, I think I still have you set up on Patreon.
Edit: Hey, do you have a master list of all your work somewhere? Seems it's spread out over a couple different sites. I would love to take some time and look over everything again, I am just getting back into RPG Maker.
The master list is pinned in Librarium's patreon front page, and essentially links with access to the batch libraries link above ! :D
Will you ever make background images? Just curious bc i love your style ^_^
They are in the pipeline of work!
However they won't be tackled too soon, given various backgroudn tasks still needing completion! Please stay tuned :D
Thank you for replying. I will wait patiently, but eagerly :D
I'm a huge fan of everything you make, keep it up ^_^
Thank you!
Happy to hear that, please stay tuned! :D
Does this work with RPG Maker MZ?
It should!
I'm getting a lot of errors when trying to use the DragonBones, I tried to contact the Visustella people, but until now they didn't know what is causing the problem, I don't know if it's a compatibility problem with MZ or the plug-ins from Visustella ):
Oh!
Im actually going over the process of checking some reported animated battlers, I will be fixing issues with the Virgel and Wukong battler this week, and I will be checking other battlers gradually!
Cool! I really wanted to use the DragonBones in my project, all the DragonBones I got from this mega pack are giving me a problem here, if you want I can send you a print of the error in the email.
Just list out the names of the battlers you have tried so far here!
A doubt, the sprites are compatible with RPG Maker VX Ace?
battler graphics would need to be redimensioned , but the map sprites are different, if I recall correctly, MV and MZ use a bigger size!
Does this work with the new RPG Maker MZ?
It should!
So remarkable! Thanks so much to the author! But where can I download or pay for Slime frontview map sprites?
it was released as scheduled!
https://aekashics.itch.io/librariumnimatedmegapack
A new free animated megapack is coming on the 24th!
btw how add your assets in the Rpg maker Mv?
For the static ones, just add them to the Enemies folder!
For animated ones, please refer to the dragonbones integration sample project!
ok thx!
hello good man.
i love your assets, very detailed and quite beautiful sprites!
i'm creating a Game for my School Project and would use it as my CV to become a game Designer/developer.
hope you see this comment!
Thanks for your interest! Best of luck!
thank you!
hello good sir. First of all sorry for my english xD
I love your assets :D
Im creating a TCG game i just have the main idea, but i found our art so cool. Can i use it? how can i get the commercial use?
Have a good day sir. And one more time i love your work
Hello Adrian! The answer to both questions is yes, commercial usage is allowed, if the art will go on printed cards you just need to credit the name " aekashics " on them somewhere , in the same vein MTG credits card artwork!
Ok You are awesome :D I also will create an account on patreon and suscribe. :D :D :D
Ohh! Looking forward to it!
Amazing pack, I could just afford 5$ for now sorry, but definitely a worthy pack, just few things
- are the characters different in the DraginBones Animated Battlesr and MV format Animated Battlers
- are there any Orcs in the static poses
Thanks for your support Ash!
To answer your questions, There are more characters available in the Dragonbones animated battler format, and yes there is an Orcish archetype within the statics included into this ultrapack!
Again, thank you!
Could you make some characters for example: archer,knight,mage,monk etc.
They get regularly made on a monthly basis, driven by polls held in our patreon community!
hello! Aekashics, thanks for your reply , and sorry for my english
I saw lots of your brillant artworks in your community,
but I'm little confused about the wisp tier and dragon tier when I saw the snapshot of your assets.
the wisp tier is about static monsters just like the samples on the right side of this comments, but I found that the monters in dragon tier is pixel assets, so the spine and dragonbone animations is pixels, not the animated ones of the static monsters in wisp tier ?
thank you for your reply
best wishes!
This is amazing!
Thanks for your support! :D
What's the difference with this and the paid one? I'd love to support you but there are too many packs I don't know what is the difference.
I want to buy the packs that don't include the monsters in here.
Which pack should I get If I want more monsters?
Btw I've just become your $5 Patron
Hello!
if you just want to grab all the latest base releases you can join at the $1 per update cycle tier and gain access to the updated batch library, which features all the latest battlers!
