Librarium Sample Project 2026 Update! New 4 Dir Map Sprites, New Portraits and more! (Patreon)

Hello and happy Friday!

The announced update to the Librarium sample project is now ready and available for you to download! I'm sorry for the delay, initially I really did plan to have it wrapped up and uploaded last sunday's night or during Monday this week, but as I kept adding elements, the need for other elements also emerged and it became sort of a now or never ! in the end I decided to spend a full week adding, tweaking and polishing content for this asset drop so let's break it down!

-----------------

Added 6 new NPC designs with associated Bust portrait, Faceset crop and 4-Dir Map sprites for the hub town areas:

Bartender Hendricks

Restauranteur Sari

Innkeeper Liri

Weapon Shop Owner Diana

General Item Shop owner Diene

Hub Town Guard

Basically what had been already announced! However I spent a considerable amount of time polishing the movement and feel of the map sprites and I promsie you they feel nice in runtime!

----------

Updated the portraits of Van, Imelda and Naru to match the style of the NPCs, and to feature uncropped bust portraits under the exports folder.

With the inception of the new NPCs and keeping style uniformity in mind, the existing portraits we had (Imelda, Naru and Van) also needed to be updated! even more so since they only existed as crops, not as chest+Head busts. In the end I pretty much redrew these entirely!

-------------------------

Added a Title Screen graphic

As the headline says! we now have an official Librarium Title screen which you can bring to your projects as well, or adapt as needed! Both a full resolution PSD version and a 1280*720 export are included.

The design of this title screen basically reflects the exteriors of the hub town! that's why the characteristic dragon gate appears on it!

----------------

Minor tweaks to some objects in the Hubtown_B Sheet

Some very minor tweaks were applied to certain props in the B sheet, mostly slowly improving readability in some of the older props as I keep poloshing this tileset.

--------------

Hubtown Gate Door prop has been animated and usable as an actual gate now

This one was long overdue! The dragon gate now is a functional door with animations!

----------------

Missing graphic "redmoon.png" upgraded and added!

Well this one might feel slightly random, but it was a missing picture from a 2022 version of the sample project which still appeared in some action sequence calls, I figured, might as well draw a version which matches the modern Librarium standards, so we arrive at this blood moon! Now that I look at it, perhaps it can double as a gameover screen.

-----------------------------

And that's essentially it!

Copy+Paste settings for the latest dragonbones battlers are avaialble inside the database files, so if you have been having troubles getting dragonbones battlers up and running, you can find functional examples in there!

Delays are inexcusable and i'm sorry, ill work to keep doign better and delivering consistently!

That said, Friday is certainly a good time for a new set of graphics to arrive at one's door I feel, have some fun this weekend exploring the latest Librarium materials!

Sample Project 2026

This upload is basically all in one, Executable, RPG Maker source project and Material exports!

--------------------

With this update I basically showcase the direction of the sample project going forward (Such as updating with even more NPCs in the future,etc) and I will now return to keep powering through the backlogged Librarium Animated releases, continuing with Mini Minotaur!

Mini Minotaur will most likely be ready after February has ended, but this Sample Project asset drop feels like a nice wrap up to all the February releases! Thank you!
