Create a forest with a selection of normal trees and bushes, but slowly add larger and larger mushrooms until your heroes are walking along small wooden bridges from flat mushroom cap to mushroom cap while giant oyster mushrooms burst from tree trunks and conical mushrooms replace all of the trees. Have your heroes keep walking until they find the arched wooden bridge that leads to the hidden fairy village. Create wooden signs held up with vines so that your heroes can easily find their way to the item shop or inn, and build houses with giant flowers on top of them or stone buildings with grass roofs. Have your heroes rest in rooms where all the furniture is wood and the lanterns are made out of magical flowers, let them wake up with a magical buff so they’re ready for their next adventure.

This pack also includes 6 door character sprites and an animated rock pool of water! Have your heroes knock on arched or circular doors to get blessings from the forest folk, and recover their MP with a comfortable dip in the pool.

Gee-kun-soft is back with another MZ-styled character pack with 16 new characters to populate your game’s world. 11 women and 5 men are ready to take on important jobs in your story, from nurses who can heal your heroes after dangerous fights to a veteran agent who can offer new quests or teach your heroes a new skill or two if you impress him!

Introduce your players to a bear-eared healer who spends her days working at the group’s base until you befriend her enough to bring her out on adventures, or give your traveling a relaxed smile when he is offering new equipment for sale. And as a bonus, this pack also includes a high-resolution full body art for each character so you can size them to perfectly fit your game or give your players a good look at them in your game’s codex.

New Sewer Tiles, New Enemies to fight. Two new packs for RPG Maker, now live!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3115730/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Sewer_Central_Tileset/

Make sure you’re wearing some heavy duty boots before climbing down into trash-filled tunnels made with the KR Sewer Central Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is back with another detailed tileset size for MV and MZ, focusing on the damp, grimey, floors and walls you’d expect if you dropped down a manhole and started exploring a sewer tunnel. A1, A2, and A4 tiles are ready to help you build concrete and brick tunnels deep underground, and B sheets offer up a variety of pipes, wall decorations, and trash to help make each path feel unique.

Send your heroes down a staircase to wander next to noxious green or brown water in the hopes of finding a bandit’s hideout filled with barrels and chests. Or let them follow metal pipes along the tunnels to locate where a slime is clogging the pipes so that the townsfolk can safely use their sinks again. Have your heroes follow bright graffiti between piles of trash to confront a young troublemaker who could join the party, and enter the sewer under a castle to gain access to a small jail that’s been forgotten by most of the people living above the ground.

This pack also includes 8 character sprites to add doors and more to your maps. Keep your heroes out of certain areas with metal gates, at least until they pull a lever tucked away on a nearby wall. Light the tunnels with dancing flames and mark a special room with tall wooden doors that open up to reveal a side room where red treasure chests wait to be opened. So if your modern game needs a sewer level or you want to offer a smelly way to sneak into a castle’s jail, check out the KR Sewer Central Tileset!
