https://store.steampowered.com/app/3903410/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Luminous_Abyss_Tileset/

Explore the darkest depths of the ocean where the only light is bioluminescent coral with the KR Luminous Abyss Tileset! Kokoro Reflections dives back into underwater MV/MZ-sized tiles with this pack, offering up a variety of cool blue rocks and dirt to help you build locations that sunlight can’t touch. A1, A2, A4, A5, and 4 unique B sheets (with a number of variations that adds up to 18 sheets) can create dark rocky ocean floors, caverns filled with lava and magic-infused walls, whale graveyards, ethereal coral gardens, and more!

Reward your players for finishing a difficult sidequest with an item that lets them breathe underwater, and create incredible locations for them to explore with these tiles. Let them wander around angled cliff faces and behind natural stone arches in search of sunken treasure or cave openings, and break up the monotony of blue and gray stone with pops of color from neon pink, blue, and green veins of crystal. Coral and aquatic plants can add a bit more light to the world, in 3 main color gradients (purple/blue, purple/blue/green, and rainbow) so you can mix and match to fit the area. This pack also includes a character sprite for black smoke so that you can show pools of magma interacting with the ocean’s water. Or skip the water entirely and use these tiles to create caves with pockets of air deep underground! Pick up the KR Luminous Abyss Tileset and give your heroes new cool spaces to visit!

Give your magical forest an uncommon vibe with the KR Phosphor Forest Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with a MV/MZ-sized tileset perfect for making a dark dungeon deep in the middle of a forest. Instead of a ton of autotiles to choose from, use 3 black ground tiles with varying amounts of grass to point your heroes in the right direction, and have the visual focus be on bioluminescent mushrooms and flowers! Small fairy rings of mushrooms and little glowing flowers can add a hint of magic to relatively normal maps with lush bushes and trees, and massive mushrooms and moonflowers that loom over your heroes’ heads will surely let them know that they’re not in a normal forest anymore. Organic lines of moss and vines are perfect for making the edges of the explorable area, so you can create open spaces without filling the entire map with tiles. Add a glowing river that cuts through the maps that can act as healing points or refill magic potions, or make a pool of water with a waterfall emptying into it the center of the forest that also acts as the home to a powerful optional boss.

This pack also includes 3 character sprites for glowing orbs. Use them to mark the path for your heroes, or have them act as fearful fairies that vanish if your heroes get too close. Or have pale orbs react to touch to light up the area to reveal hidden pathways and treasures. If you’ve been wanting to add a unique magical spring tucked away in a normal forest, pick up the KR Phosphor Forest Tileset!

Dress up your transportation with two new vintage transportation themed packs from Kokoro Reflections!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3903390/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Vintage_Cars__60s_and_70s_Animation_Pack/

Become the king of the road with the KR Vintage Cars - 60s and 70s Animation Pack! Kokoro Reflections is here with a massive set of MV/MZ-sized car character sheets to turn your empty roads into auto shows. 19 different characters inspired by 60s and 70s cars are ready to fill your streets with racing muscle cars, have convertibles cruise beachside roads, give your farms some fitting trucks, and more! Have your heroes travel the world in a VW-inspired bus so that no matter where they go they’ll always have a place to rest and recover, or let them zip around the highways in bright red hot rods with cool flared fins. Tell your players that your game takes place in the 70s by showing the roads filled with station wagons and rounded bugs, or use the pack’s stylish coupes to make your world feel modern without having to state a specific date.

Each car comes in 25 colors so your traffic jams can become rainbows of color! Fill the roads with NPC cars in browns, greens, and blues while your heroes and villains drive around in bright reds and purples so it’s always easy to see which cars are important. Let your players buy their favorite car and then attach specific buffs to different colors, so a teal car increases their magic attack while silver increases all defense and fuschia adds a boost to charisma. Or just give your players the option to repaint their cars whenever they want and have those changes show when they’re driving around! If you’ve been wanting to add more good looking cars to your games, pick up the KR Vintage Cars - 60s and 70s Animation Pack!

All aboard! Leave navigation to the experts while your heroes rest between dungeons (or solve a murder mystery) thanks to the KR Vintage Steam Train Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is back with another transportation themed MV/MZ-sized tileset to help your heroes get around a large world. Add some train tracks to all of your cities and turn fast travel points into awesome steam trains that roll into town with intricate red and gray locomotives and a long train of passenger cars. Create side quests where your heroes need to keep a train safe while it’s transporting fuel or important NPCs, or just let your heroes wander carriage interiors to choose whether to fully heal with a nap in bunk beds or gain a buff by eating some tasty food in the meal car.

A2, A4, B and C sheet tiles are perfect for making wooden carriages with soft green carpets leading your heroes to their seats with metal storage racks about their heads, or follow the rugs farther to reach separate compartments where small tables can hold suitcases and bunk beds are built into the walls. If your heroes snuck onto a train instead, have them hide out behind wooden crates and barrels in the stark metal cargo cars. This pack also includes 11 character sheets to help you add moving trains to your maps. Have the locomotive engine, tanker cars, wood cars, cargo cars, and passenger cars travel in the cardinal directions to show how connected your game’s world is, and use the wooden doors to keep your heroes from entering other people’s compartments before a passenger is murdered. Pick up the KR Vintage Steam Train Tileset pack and let your heroes travel comfortably!

Two new dungeon tilesets from Kokoro Reflections! Explore Quartz Caves or Volcanic terrain with these two new resource packs!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3903370/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Quartz_Cave_Tileset/

Explore deep caves filled with massive crystals thanks to the KR Quartz Cave Tileset! Kokoro Reflections has created an MV/MZ-sized tileset inspired by the incredible Naica Mine, with large stone stalactites and translucent white crystals piercing up through the floor. Send your heroes into a dungeon formed by water and heat and untouched by humans to find large gems that can be used in magical crafting, and add more gorgeous crystals to monster-filled dungeons!

A1, A2, A4, and 3 B sheets include all the stone and quartz tiles you could want to build maze-like mines and massive crystal-filled caverns. Create a seemingly normal cave entrance with dirt floors and brown stone walls, but hint at something special further in with small bunches of crystals poking out of the floor. As your heroes explore deeper, have the floor shift from packed dirt to sandy floors where sand flows like a waterfall from the ceiling and reveal spots of crystals in the walls. Lead them down unassuming tunnels by embedding trails of glowing crystals in the floor, and stud the larger caves with crystal bunches that are three times taller than your heroes. Let nature form pathways by having angled stone walls and piles of rocks force your heroes in specific directions, or make mazes of crystals where your heroes need to walk behind and between the crystal pillars to find their way out of the cave. Pick up the KR Quartz Cave Tileset and add a new type of cave for your heroes to conquer!

Send your heroes deep into the wilderness where volcanic magic twists lava into incredible forms with the KR Wrath of the Volcano Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with a new MV/MZ-sized tileset that is filled with flowing lava, glowing crystals, and scorched stones ready to help you create dangerous dungeons where one wrong step could leave your heroes missing a foot! A1, A2, A4, and 3 B sheets offer a variety of grass and dirt floors for your heroes to safely walk on while wandering between rivers of lava and glowing holes in the ground that almost certainly lead to lava lakes. Let them explore less lava-filled areas where burnt tree trunks are one of the only signs that normal plants used to grow there and old wooden bridges connect cliffs that are studded with massive boulders. Warn your players that there’s something mystical about the area with glowing rings of mushrooms and twisting plants rise out of the ground, and force hard decisions by having thin lines of lava criss-cross shortcuts so your players have to choose whether to be injured for a quick trip to next section or take their time with the longer, safer path.

13 character sprites for lava flows and glowing orbs give you even more ways to make your maps more dangerous! Have fountains of lava burst out of the ground so your players need to plan their movement carefully, or use large springs of lava flowing down cliffs as roadblocks until your players find a way to plug them to move deeper into the dungeon. And that’s not even the end of this pack! Each tileset also comes in a blue version so you can double the fun. Use the blue lava to show that the deadly heat has been decreased, or make it a fully magical volcano where mana is so dense that it can physically harm your heroes! Pick up the KR Wrath of the Volcano Tileset and challenge your heroes with maps that are too hot to touch!
