Hey everyone! here's a little something im super excited to share with you all, the first trailer to a projec tI have been working on, along some friends of mine! 

KemonoQ is a JRPG dungeon crawler in development, focused around equippable passive and powerful active effects. With a major focus on gameplay without neglecting its setting and characters, KemonoQ tells a dark tale of irony, while offering an engaging gameplay experience.

KemonoQ will launch its first public alpha build...

Evil Castle Tileset preview!

Hey everyone!

Tonight I want to share with you the victorious tileset this month in its WIP state, The Evil Castle!

My main idea for an evil castle is lots of ornaments in the walls and pillars, eerie stained glass windows and gold objects. As you can see the autotile for walls loops nicely for different heights!

This base edition will be centered around core elements such as the ones displayed above, i.e the key elements to get maps done. In the second revision we will go into det...

October Tileset Suggestions!

Hey everyone! the monster poll will be coming later, but first I want to kick off october with something fresh.

Let's hear some locations you guys would like to see as a tileset this month!

I think the Librarium Temple has given me enough experience at this point to tackle more interesting locations.

If I could say suggest something, I think we should brainstorm some locations which can't currently be covered by the tiles which already exist, but are very much needed. As you all kn...

Hi everyone! Apologies for the lack of posts since thursday, as you can tell I also had a bit of a delay with Librarium posts, my planned Extras for this first update cycle and the rewards which will stem from that!

Ancient Automaton Full Preview!

Hey guys!

just wanted to showcase again Swift Illusion's top notch animation work with the Ancient Automaton scheduled for release tomorrow!

As you can see, he did some magic here and got the drill to actually move around, really cool stuff!

Overall the ancient automaton was a really fun pick, both to conceptualize and draw, and then to see it coming to life with Swift's animation, hope it will prove useful for your upcoming and current projects!

Aries colored preview! Poll ties!

Aries coming along nicely!

Here's also an early look at his $Big_monster map sprite! I'll somehow have to find a way to sneak his golden constellation ornament into the map sprite design!

In other news, our poll results right now are as it follows;

1st place - Wildcard Zodiac

2nd place - Ancient Automaton

3rd place - Dwarves

Currently we have a tie between Steel spiked defender, Bone masked shadow creature and Human dregs! If you haven't it's still a good time to ...

Zodiac Aries preview!

An early look at Aries, undoubtedly the top winner pick for Librarium Animated this month!

Making design decisions for this Zodiac was tricky, as I wanted it to look like more than just an oversized regular ram, but also did not want to get into overly specific territory. The way I decided to go about it was by adding gold plates to his neck and head, and also a floating gold ornament to his side (I intend for said ornaments, representing their constellations to be part of all 12 designs).

Librarium Temple tileset upgrade!

Your suggestions were heard!

I tried to stay within the simple and functional scope, I hope these revamps are enjoyed by everyone!

Going forward I'm thinking what we'll do next(As in next time tilesets are touched up) will be thematic reskins of the temple(such as elemental, dark realm, celestial, etc) using these objects as a base and of course, creating new ones as necessary! That should be general use enough right?

Thanks to Susan, Clint, Sarah, Darkstar, SenG and anonfox for le...
