Hey guys! I had planned for the Time/Space manipulation whale to come out today but it will probably be released tomorrow, but with good reason!
I was recently(Today lol) told by Yanfly about a 3rd party plugin which makes it so that I can finally showcase the full power of skeletal animation I have always wanted animated Librarium battlers to be about!
You can watch the video to see its potential and I must say, I am quite happy with it, though it suffers several limitations at the moment.
From what I have seen so far:
-Most YEP Library battle related plugins load and play just fine with it!
-YEP Action sequences kinda work. There is movement and recognition of functions, however motion animation changes don't work as of this writing. When enabled, sometimes the attack animation doesnt play the actual attack animation.
-It currently only supports 4 basic motions for monsters which are Idle, Attack, Damage and Defeat for monsters.
All in all though, I see great potential for this format from here on for Librarium animated! The plugin seems to have just been released this last sunday so maybe we can bring it up to the developer to look into the possibility of making this plugin YEP compatible, mainly for action sequences and supporting more animation types for enemies, and also compile potential bugs and suggestions for him!
In this format, the releveant Dragonbone(The software used for these animations) files would be distributed along the 3 frame map sprite, but rewards will stay the same, in fact they will once again receive another increase, in the form of the Dragonbone project file along the Spine file!
Certainly, users who are currently interested in spine need not to worry as it seems I can still juggle the files between both so that you can choose which runtimes (DB or Spine) you wanna go with if you are working with non-RPG maker engines!
How do you all feel about this? :D

Also haha, I guess this counts as a preview of the finalzied Time/Space manipulation whale!

Ahhh I read it as being a program that was also compatible with the spine format, like how some programs manage fbx (autodesk format) compatibility, etc. Looks like it has, based on the video, all the features I'd want from Spine including the 2D mesh which is amazing, And it's not just free but open source! If there's no catches, as it'd be strange for there to be in an open source software, then I would honestly consider switching to it over spine if the workflow is still good-as that would leave it immediately available for expanded/flexibility of animations (as the programs free free) for anyone that supports you at that tier :)! And especially awesome to hear a positive response about YEP functionality too :D

2017-07-15 22:58:47 +0000 UTCThis is actually a different program which is super similar to Spine but developed by a chinese company called Egret and is completely free! I'm actually still looking into this program's licensing since dont want any hidden catch there haha. It seems legit so far though! If you run into anythign lemme know :D Also that aside I contacted the developer of this plugin to look into the possibility of integrating this script into YEP funcionality and he was very positive and cool about it so far!

2017-07-15 22:58:33 +0000 UTCThat's unreal levels of awesomeness :D! Can't believe someone managed to build a pathway from spine into RPG Maker. If it could also support additional animations with action sequence that could reach a new level of epic :D and increase the value of your included spine scenes more too with people optionally able to make new animations, etc!
