RPG Maker MZ News

The first release week of March and we have two new packs for you to enjoy. The KR Legendary Palaces sets expand with the beautiful nature of the Dryads, and the third RE-D Music Pack is here to add even more tracks to your game!

You can smell the heavy and sweet odor of the large mysterious pink blossoms as well as the earthy scent of the tree bark as you enter the Dryad palace. Whoever built this place, architecture and nature are woven into one, leaving you with the beautiful combinations you are now exploring. While one room might be made out of ornamented tiles and walls, the next could already be fully covered in leaves.

This symbiosis of grown and formed things also reflects in everything else you can find in this structure. On a throne out of stone you can find flowers and vines and roots and leaves are wrapped around delicate pillars.

Whether this place needs additional water or not is up to you, but there is a full set ready to use, complete with water lilies and a waterfall, so you can shape the location just as you want it to be.

To bring some more interactive elements into this area, there is also a matching treasure chest as well as some mysterious pink and green flames, which would be great for puzzles or to light it up.

Adventures lie ahead, and watch out… whoever built this place, might still be around!

Do your heroes need a little break from fighting all the time? How about some more scenic and mostly relaxed parts?

The RE-D Music Pack 3 brings you ten beautiful and diverse tracks for your game to add a lot of atmosphere to various places and situations your party could encounter.

Such as a nice and upbeat shop soundtrack that makes getting new gear so much more enjoyable! A lot more tense is the track that was labeled "Thinking", a great piece to underlie situations where your heroes have to make a tough decision. Will they accept the offer of the villain or stand their ground, even if the chances of winning are low? Or is it about which path to take, knowing that each of them has its own risks?

Five of the tracks are called “Scene” and they could not be more different. From lighthearted and playful "Scene02" to the grave and danger implying "Scene04", everything in the emotional range in between is reflected.

The other three beautiful tracks are just what their names suggest: a fun and relaxed tune for ""Hot Spring", music that suggests something is lingering in the dark for "Horror" and a carefree atmosphere for "Picnic", but we're sure you can find a lot more scenarios to use them than the names suggest. Listen in and find out where you want to use them!

The vibes for this week's releases aren't going to be bright and cheerful. With a set of tiles perfect for a horror school setting, and a brand new soundtrack perfect to bring the edge to your game, these packs can help make your grim game even grimmer.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1903001/RPG_Maker_MZ__Ann__Art_School_Tilesets/

If you’re a fan of horror games and pixel art, then you need to check out Ann - Art School Tilesets. Karrina and Rongrong have teamed up to release a pack of tiles from their horror game Ann! With tiles focusing on an art school vibe, this pack’s A5 and 4 B sheets are ready to help you make a world for your student hero to survive.

Create a school with fashion, music, and art departments by keeping things in separate buildings, or combine them all to make a huge museum for your players to explore! Create common areas with vending machines and couches to relax on, and don’t forget to include the small offices for professors. With a selection of paintings and sculptures (along with broken pieces) to choose from you can make sure your maps look well-used by students and visitors. Don’t worry about those red stains near the wall, I’m sure they’re just leftover paint. But maybe avoid the old wing of the school where the floors are warped, the walls are grimy and torn, and you swear the piano just moved closer…

Also included are exterior tiles to help you build modern city streets. Create tall white buildings that loom over busy streets, and keep your walking NPCs safe by adding crosswalks and streetlights to your maps. Or create a small outside roof map for your hero to get some fresh air and escape any dangers inside. Just don’t linger too long, because who knows what could follow them up the stairs.

The pack also includes sample projects for MV and MZ, so you can see how the tiles all work together. If you’ve been hoping to add a new museum (haunted or not) to your game, or just love the look of Ann’s tileset, then pick up Ann - Art School Tilesets today!

The RPG Maker Festival continues! But for now, it is time for our favorite day of the week: Release Day! We have two new packs ready to go, another pack in the Tiny Tales series, and another Heroine Generator pack are here!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1662630/RPG_Maker_MZ__MT_Tiny_Tales_Dungeon_Tiles/

Did you like the MT Tiny Tales Overworld Tiles or do you like well made, pixelated retro tiles in general and can’t get enough of them? Lucky you, as today the Dungeon Set for the series has arrived!

No matter whether you fancy a modern maker as MV or MZ or if you would rather stick to VX or Ace, you will find that this set comes set up for both, so you can just import the version you need and are good to go! And going for what? Well, there are four main themes in this pack, each coming with a broad variety of tiles to make maps for it.

Maybe their journey has led your heroes into a mine, either still up and running with tracks and carts and tools or abandoned, with broken barrels and plants slowly overgrowing what was left. On the other hand, maybe they visit a well guarded city, with a giant wall around it? With additional color options and even snowy versions, this construct could be placed anywhere in your world. It could be a centerpiece, an amazing “sneak past the guards into the town” part of your game, or the place where your heroes stand and stare into the distance as the enemy's army arrives.

And while any larger town could have such a wall, you might want to have an actual dedicated fortress - and this pack gives you a great one! With various gates, wall options, tiles for a protecting moat around it. There are many adventures that could start here!

If you are looking for a more special type of dungeon, the last one might be just for you! The tech fortress tiles can be used to map both inside and outside of said building, combining medieval-like features with somewhat contemporary technical devices. Did a time traveler strand here? Was an evil scientist able to develop technology that is far superior to anything we find in the world around? Or maybe a certain group of people was able to proceed beyond the rest of the world, but has mysteriously vanished and your heroes explore their remains?

What it is is totally up to you and you can probably come up with many more ways to use these amazing tiles!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1890441/RPG_Maker_MZ__Heroine_Character_Generator_4_for_MZ/

If you are wishing there was just a little more variation when it comes to the MZ generator and your heroines, well, there is no wishing anymore!

The Heroine Character Generator Pack 4 was optimized for MZ and is ready to add some great pieces to select from for your beautiful female characters. With 38 unique pieces and additional custom battle weapons it will take a while until you run out of options again.

Does your heroine sport an imaginative hairstyle which includes her hair being formed into a bow tie on her hat or does she have a cute bun and ponytail on one side? These and a simple but beautiful short cut rear hairs can be combined with any of the three available bangs for many fun combinations.

And talking about fun combinations, don’t the witchy dress and the demonic wings go perfectly with each other? Probably as well as the two sets of beast ears and tails, allowing you to create a red panda girl character, complete with a matching furry outfit! Or do you want a fairy, with translucent wings and matching antennae? You can dress her up in any of the twenty different outfits. With the pompoms and a matching sports dress, she might even become a cheerleader at your fantasy school?

And that's just the beginning of the themes found here, from a watery dress with a matching headpiece to a chinese style or cowgirl parts, there are many more great things to create your heroines with!
