Create unique heroes, villains, and people just living their best cyberpunk lives with the CyberCity Character Creator Kit! PVGames is here with a bunch of character pieces for their CyberCity series to help you fill your cities with busy citizens. Make tough armored cops carrying multiple guns who block your heroes path, friendly cyborg shopkeepers wearing hoodies who offer blackmarket items for reasonable prices, androids dancers in plastic and metal bodysuits who can offer up helpful rumors, and more with this pack!

You’ll need to be familiar with art programs to make the most of this pack, but if you do then the possibilities are unlimited! With 5 body bases for both male and female characters, you can create fully human, cybernetically-enhanced human, and completely robotic heroes to fit your story and world. Dress your modern characters in t-shirts, hoodies, and leather jackets over black jeans, loose joggers, and athletic shorts before thrusting them into an adventure across the galaxy, or start your story with sci-fi uniforms and strength-enhancing armor so your players know they’re in for a game full of high-tech battles!

And if all those outfit pieces weren’t enough, this pack is designed to give you all the character sprite and portrait images you could want, with each character piece designed to layer over full body portraits with 16 different poses and huge character sheets with animations for walking, running, falling, fighting, and more so you can show tons of emotions during cutscenes. Create your perfect characters and then crop the images to fit RPG Maker’s specifications, or use your favorite character frame plugin to make use of the 8-frame walking animations in 8 directions and other behaviors! So if you’ve been needing some new partially robotic characters to populate your game, or you just love PVGames’ resources, pick up the CyberCity Character Creator Kit!

Give your 3D-style game some fitting high-res icons with the CyberCity Icons pack! PVGames is adding to their CyberCity series with a massive pack of 512x512 pixel images to use in cutscenes and inventory menus. Over 800 icons offer up images for vials and weapons, clothing and accessories that match what your heroes are wearing from the CyberCity Character Creator Kit pack, tasty bowls of food, handwritten notes and old newspapers, boxes and objects to examine up close, and more!

Use these icons in your sci-fi detective game to give your players something to look at when searching a crime scene, where interacting with a potted plant in the bedroom reveals an empty injector and a bookshelf holds a small note from the victim that proves someone was stalking them! Or use the food and take-out container images in a minigame where your players need to choose and deliver the right meals around town to make some extra money to buy an upgrade for their robot arm. Give your players a reason to change their outfits in-game by letting them see a close up of each shirt, pants, and accessory before buying and equipping them, or create loot boxes that could be filled with anything from rare wines and expensive paintings to old robot feet and literal piles of garbage that your players can try to sell or use as fuel for a fire. Grab the CyberCity Icons pack and add some extra pizzazz to investigative scenes and to your character outfit menus!

Get ready to explore the futuristic city with a new series from PVG with the new CyberCity Tiles!

Build cities of grungy concrete, rusting metal, and shining neon with the CyberCity Core Tiles pack! PVGames is back with a new CyberCity series, focusing on the bright neon and grimy technology you want when making a modern or cyberpunk world. This pack contains thousands of tiles for you to play with, so get ready to build trash-filled alleyways, opulent apartments, bars filled with bottles and stages for bands, retro arcades, and streets lined with skyscrapers!

Designed with parallax maps in mind, each tile comes in 8 directions so you can position things exactly how you want them to build your dream maps. Start with floor and wall panels to create your exterior streets (or use some of the included empty interiors for inside shops and houses) and then fill it with detailed 3D tiles to turn it into a busy marketplace where neon signs light up every square foot of space or a trashed side street with barrels filled with wood and broken bottles show that some people are calling that street home. Need a cozy place for your heroes to call home? Fill a room with bookshelves and arcade cabinets so they can relax. Need a sketchy club to find a bad guy? Then create a bar with stools and scattered bottles of booze on every table and install a few lit signs advertising the bar’s shows.

This pack also includes tons of premade building exteriors so that you can easily add more shops and business fronts to your streets without needing to create each one from scratch. Add a record store next to the pizza shop that acts as your heroes’ base of operations so there’s a good reason for new music to always be playing, and line the more busy streets of the city with towering buildings covered in neon signs advertising anything and everything. Pick up the CyberCity Core Tiles pack and get started on your sci-fi adventure!

Add a tech-filled lab for your heroes to call home and deadly factories where AIs slowly take over the internet with the CyberCity R&D Tiles pack! PVGames continues their CyberCity series with another tileset, this time offering more than 2,500 tiles to turn rooms and hallways into a busy research and development laboratory. Build spaces for your heroes to upgrade their weapons and armor at tables filled with tools, medical rooms with healing tanks and high-tech hospital beds for injured party members, shoddily built factories in warehouses that are building killer robots, and more with this pack!

Each tile comes in 8 directions to make building your perfect parallax map even easier, so you can put workstations against every wall in a room even if there are diagonal walls and make it so that a room filled with the same type of boxes won’t feel like a box was just copy-pasted over and over. Turn a grimy room into a tactical base of operations with wires criss-crossing the floor and large monitors displaying info next to bulky computers that are lit up with floodlights, or create a villain’s base that’s full of pieces of androids scattered carelessly around and handwritten notes that reveal the canisters on shelves hold a neurotoxin that will enslave every human in the city if your heroes don’t stop it! No proper sci-fi or cyberpunk game would be complete without a laboratory full of sterile test rooms and dangerous technology, so make sure to grab the CyberCity R&D Tiles pack!

Two new packs from Kokoro Reflections! Get the KR Art Deco Theater Tileset and the KR Spirit of Asia Tileset today!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2956990/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Art_Deco_Theatre_Tileset/

Visit movie theaters that conceal dark secrets and make unique save points for your game with the KR Art Deco Theater Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with another MV/MZ tileset, this time focusing on the glitz and glam of a theater that could exist in a 1920s mystery game, a modern slice-of-life story, and even a sci-fi world where people want to reminisce about days long past. A2, A4, A5, and 3 B sheets with 4 different color variations and a B sheet of posters offer up all the tiles you could need to make amazing interiors and an impressive exterior with sharply angled art deco decorations and tall towers to draw people in!

Create a happy cinema filled with golden walls and decorations and topped with pops of teal where your heroes can go and recover instead of using an inn, or add an oppressive air to the opera theater where a murder occurred by using the black metal details with dark red highlights. Cover the floors with rugs covered in colorful swirls and lead your heroes to their seats with in-floor lights. Create fancy seating in front of stages hidden behind thick curtains and give the actors dressing rooms in the back hallways of the theater with wardrobes and vanities, or make a more modern cinema with a snack-filled concessions stand and smaller theater rooms where screens can be made as large as necessary.

This pack also includes 6 character sprites for doors and treasure chests in each black and gold style to match your chosen theater theme, along with large film projectors you can point at screens. Use the projectors as save points while your detectives search for clues, or let your players decide which tutorial they’d like to see again by interacting with the projector! Pick up the KR Art Deco Theater Tileset and add some more incredible art deco maps where your heroes can take a break and recover between adventures!

Send your European-inspired hero on a globetrotting adventure to gorgeous cities lit with lanterns and into forests of cherry blossoms with the KR Spirit of Asia Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is back with another MV/MZ tileset inspired by Asian architecture and furniture, so you can visit the town your samurai party member calls home and give a mission to sneak into a villain’s mansion a unique look. A1, A2, A3, and A4 tiles along with 3 B sheets and 4 color variations of a B sheet of furniture are overflowing with carefully carved wood and expertly crafted paper screens to help you build lovely inns, active town centers, and relaxing bath houses.

Brown, red, black, and gold paint jobs on most tiles makes it simple to show the wealth of certain houses, or mix and match to give each home their own unique style! Let your heroes cross a raised bridge over a small stream to stop in a small restaurant for a buff-granting meal of dumplings, or have them visit a dojo where a gong stands to the side and tall stone dragons guard the entrance. When your heroes need a moment to calm and collect themselves, let them wander through a garden where manicured trees show off colorful blooms and bamboo stretches high above their heads.

This pack also comes with character sprites for turning wooden water wheels and sliding doors (both 1-tile and 2-tile tall versions) so your heroes can enter buildings through immaculately decorated doors. If your game needs some Asian-inspired towns or you just love having more options for statues and vases, check out the KR Spirit of Asia Tileset!

Add even more effekseer animations to your game with EVFX Pierce! Bring in some new single instrument tunes with Simple Piano Music Pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2956910/RPG_Maker_MZ__EVFX_Pierce/

Stab through any enemy’s defense with the EVFX Pierce pack! Dreams Circle is back with another amazing animation pack, this time featuring 20 new Effekseer animations for stabbing, perforating, and puncturing foes with swords, spears, and spells! Give your hero a lance instead of a sword to help him stand out, and let him learn power skills that can slice through foes with a well-placed thrust. Start him out with a single quick thrust into the enemy and a throw of his spear to reach further away enemies, and as he gains experience add new skills that can pinpoint enemy arteries to release a spray of blood or launch him into the air to deal a powerful downwards stab into enemy heads!

Equip your ninja party member with 3 new kunai animations, from launching a handful of them one after the other into an enemy to leaping over the whole enemy troop and flinging a bunch of knives down on them like deadly rain. And don’t forget your party’s mage or mechanic! Let them wield a rotating drill of power that can debuff an enemy’s defense or take a few turns to release a burst of drills from beneath the ground that can pierce the enemy troop’s soft underbellies.

This pack also includes 20 SEs that perfectly match the animations and an example project so you can see some examples on how to use each attack! Or adjust the animation’s rotation and add new sounds to create the perfect attacks for your hero’s skills. Pierce through the veil of boring animations and pick up the EVFX Pierce pack today!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2956880/RPG_Maker_MZ__Simple_Piano_Music_Pack/

Is your game lacking some calming single-instrument tracks for emotional scenes? Then pick up the Simple Piano Music Pack! This pack’s 10 short BGM tracks focus entirely on pianos, giving it a unique style compared to the common orchestral and electronic music tunes often found in games. Give your villages a distinct sound compared to the bigger cities or the monster-infested dungeons, or fill your pubs with jaunty piano tunes that are being played by the local musician on the upright piano in the corner.

With 2 tracks based around gentle melodies, 5 upbeat pop tunes, and 3 dramatic sad songs you can cover a variety of scenes and situations! Give your modern bar a jazz-inspired track for your heroes to enjoy while they plan their next move over cocktails, and change to a curiously quirky tune when they realize the person they’ve been searching for is sitting over at the counter. Worry your players with a fast-paced sad piece while they race through a castle to save a companion, or mess with their expectations by playing a slow and somber piece when they find a fallen friend only to switch to a calm track once the party’s healer saves them.

Each track comes in M4a and looping Ogg file formats, making it easy to add them right into your current MV/MZ project! Skip the bombastic soundtracks and give your relaxed game suitably chill piano BGM with the Simple Piano Music Pack!
