https://store.steampowered.com/app/2493820

Add unique combat specialists to your game’s battlefields with the Soldier Character Pack 2! Gee-kun-soft is back with another set of 16 characters fit for modern combat. This pack focuses on specialized personnel whose skills are useful on and off the battlefield. Have a tired, no-nonsense, doctor share an office with the army’s colorful poison expert while making sure the 2 lightly armored assassins don’t get into a competition over who can steal the most state secrets! Or have the pack’s 2 snipers compare strategies while the grenade and flamethrower users discuss how to make the biggest boom, all while the older commanding officers groan at the increased paperwork on their desks.

Each character comes with a character sprite, faceset with 8 different emotions, enemy front view battlers, SV battlers, and bust images! And if that wasn’t enough, some of the characters come in variations where they’re wearing hats or helmets so that they’ll be ready no matter what comes at them. Have your commanding officer only wear her hat when in meetings, or give your pair of extraction experts helmets and eye protection when they’re in the middle of a dangerous mission! Most enemy battlers also come with effect versions, so you could switch out the image depending on what status they have or if they’re powering up. Let your players know they need to defend from a powerful attack when the animal handler’s dog disappears from their side, and that they should push to defeat the sniper quickly if the sniper’s glowing aim assist appears in front of them! So if your game has been begging for interesting party members or you just want to flesh out your modern platoons, pick up the Soldier Character Pack 2 today!

Make sure your heroes bundle up before exploring the chilly maps made with the Winlu Fantasy Tileset - Exterior Winter pack! Winlu’s pixel art style is visible here even if it’s buried under feet of snow in this icy pack of tiles! With A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, and 4 B sheets filled with tiles you’ll be able to make all sorts of snow-covered towns for your heroes to visit. Each tile matches Winlu’s previous exterior pack, but now snow drapes over almost every surface and icicles dangle from cool-toned wooden beams so you could make a town previously visited now besieged by an ice wizard’s curse! Show that work has been halted in the village with untouched whiteness covering all of the workbenches and the carts that were normally filled with bags of goods are now filled with snow instead, while the farm’s vegetables are all frost-tipped. Or use this pack to help show the passage of time as your game’s story progresses, with snowy angled roofs in the middle of winter and as spring approaches the bright greens of grasses appear from under the blanket of white.

Also included are 20 character sheets for doors, flames, treasure chests, and more to add more movement to your maps. Place swaying banners along the city walls to show who controls the area and light your paths with lamps and torches. Open cellar doors and pull levers to reveal hidden treasure chests, or keep the town map simple and mark each building that can be entered with a sign stating what type of shop is inside. If your game includes a story arc during winter or you just want to make a cool mountain down where the snow never melts, make sure to grab Winlu Fantasy Tileset - Exterior Winter!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2493740

Revisit the 80s with incredible music thanks to Time Machine: Digital Dreams Music Pack! Joel Steudler is back with another installment of his Time Machine series, this time bringing us the sounds of digital synths that dominated the airwaves. Fill your game with 20 synthwave tracks to give it those nostalgic vibes it desperately needs or use them to build your own unique version of cyberpunk or scifi!

Broken into 4 main sections, this pack includes music for battles, dungeons, towns, and general themes so you can find the right track for any situation. Explore creepy lairs with echoey beats in the background and add some cautious curiosity to an abandoned doll factory with bouncy synths matched with long eerie wails. Give your game’s title screen a head bobbing tune with drums and cool synths with this pack’s namesake track or have it play anytime your players are hanging out in the arcade. Let your players enjoy your gorgeous city maps while listening to a calming track or choose one of the town tracks with a stronger drum beat to add a slight edge to the city, as if there’s more than meets the eye. And don’t forget to grab the energetic and darker battle tracks for whenever a punk jumps your players or a score has to be settled through a street race!

This pack’s M4a and Ogg file formats make it easy to add each track to your favorite engine, so what are you waiting for? Add both soothing and stimulating synth to your game with Time Machine: Digital Dreams Music Pack!

Send your heroes into creepy crypts and deadly mines with the Winlu Fantasy Tileset - Dungeon pack! Winlu is back with their incredible pixel art style to offer up a new set of tiles perfect for creating monster-filled cave maps and maze-like cellars. A1, A2, A4, A5, and 4 B sheets are ready to be mixed and matched to make intriguing dungeons, like an underground jail where noxious green sewage separates areas or a simple mine that leads into an icy cavern filled with bright crystals. Place rickety wooden bridges around a map to let your heroes cross bottomless pits or limit their possible paths by having rock arches collapse once they walk on them. Add some nature to the dungeons with bioluminescent mushrooms, or show how only death exists in a crypt with scattered human bones. Whatever type of dungeons your game calls for, you will likely be able to make it with this pack!

This pack also includes 25 character sheets to help bring your maps and puzzles to life! Set the mood of the dungeon before your heroes even step into it by having the entrance be a glowing magical portal or a dark hole in the wall that’s shaped suspiciously like a skull. Dodge spike and flame traps that burst from the floor as your heroes search for treasure chests filled with gold and equipment, and make sure to check every odd-looking wall in case there’s a hidden doorway that could be revealed! And if you want to save your players from having to backtrack all the way to the start, use the included teleportation circle to send them to the entrance instantly. Pick up Winlu Fantasy Tileset - Dungeon today and give your game new areas to explore and secrets to find!

New DLC: Battle Tank Pack Vol1, KR Factory Tileset, Young Protagonist Voice Pack

We've got tanks. We've got the factories to build them. And we even have a new protagonist voice that you could use to be a tank driver (or any other young protagonist for your game!). 3 New Resource Packs Out now!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2448190/RPG_Maker_MZ__Battle_Tank_Pack_Vol1/

It’s time to roll out, with the help of the Battle Tank Pack Vol.1! Gee-kun-soft’s latest vehicle battler pack focuses on armored tanks that are ready to charge forward and take on the enemy forces. 10 different tanks offer options for combat, defense, and reconnaissance so your players can prepare for any battlefield situation. Each tank comes with a battler and character sprite so you can use them in and out of battles. Face off against armored 8-wheeled vehicles to gain some important intel, and drive anti-aircraft tanks topped with missiles and satellite tanks around the map to stop the enemy from making their way into the hero’s base. Fill your sci-fi games with high-tech tanks that shoot powerful blasts of lasers, and bring out the literal big guns with an enormous tank that travels on railroad tracks.

Also included are 10 background images to help set the scene. Introduce your players to a city with a view of the shining skyscrapers or the city’s main bridge lit up in the middle of the night, and have an empty field behind your characters when they stop on the side of a dirt road after a particularly challenging battle. And if that wasn’t enough, this pack also includes 83 bonus images of the tanks in action that are perfect for battle cut-ins and cutscenes, along with PSD files so you can tweak the tanks to perfectly fit your vision. So if you’ve been needing some extra vehicles for your military story or just love tanks, pick up the Battle Tank Pack Vol.1 today!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2448180/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Factory_Tileset/

Create a grimy warehouse where villains gather with the KR Factory Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is back with a set of tiles to help you create those creepy buildings your game calls for, filled with mysterious machines and offices where important clues were left behind by the villain. A1, A2, A4, and 4 B sheets cover a variety of gray and brown details to build a busy factory. Instead of water, the A1 sheet includes rolling conveyor belts that could move your heroes to new locations, and the A2 and A4 sheets include wooden, dirt, and metal options that could work for both interiors and exteriors just in case the factory area includes more than building to search. Dangling wires and small pipes can decorate walls in between warning signs while the larger equipment can be observed from high up on raised platforms. Have your heroes squeeze between large refineries and tanks containing who-knows-what as they make their way to the factory’s main office, where old notes tucked into shelves and computers still left on are waiting to be read.

This pack also includes character sheets for doors, levers, and valves so you can let your heroes unlock new routes the more they explore. Or use the smoke sprites to add to the atmosphere, blocking paths or billowing out of the tops of certain dangerous machines. Pick up the KR Factory Tileset and start building warehouses full of machine mazes and pipe puzzles for your heroes to solve!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2408550/RPG_Maker_MZ__Young_Protagonist_Voice_Pack/

Make sure your hero isn’t a silent protagonist with the Young Protagonist Voice Pack! With a whopping 339 English voice clips to choose from, you can be sure that your hero has a line for any situation. The pack’s voice is perfect for an energetic older teen or young adult, so if your villager-turned-chosen-one has been lacking a voice then listen up! Add some hmms, sighs, cheers, and groans to your cutscenes to add some extra emotions, or have your hero speak up randomly while walking around a town when they see something cool. Have him let out a cheer when he levels up and groan a meek “how could it end like this” if he loses a fight. Start a fight with a brave “battle start” or “bring it on” shout, and include a pained grunt when your hero is hit with a particularly painful move during the fight. Or keep the SEs out of battles entirely and use them when he explores dungeons with “hyups” and grunts of exertion as he climbs vines and leaps across chasms to discover new treasures.

Each SE comes in mp3, m4a, ogg, and wav audio file formats, so it’s easy to add them into your favorite engine! Add some extra life to your hero with the Young Protagonist Voice Pack!
