Four official DLCs were released, including plug-ins and tilesets!

This week, four official DLCs are released, including a plug-in to set collision detection, tilesets, and background music assets!

"Rosedale Collision Altering Plugin" allows you to customize collision detection for tilesets, which is useful not only for RPGs, but also for creating works with action elements.

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!

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!

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!

New DLC: KR Legendary Palace - Dragon Tileset, RPG Character Pack 9

New Heroines! New Dragon Palace Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2448060/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Legendary_Palaces__Dragon_Tileset/

Explore scale-lined hallways and throne rooms filled with monuments to the strongest creature of all with the KR Legendary Palace - Dragon Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with another set of tiles ready for use in MV and MZ, this time focusing on dark grays and greens fit for an evil dragon lord. Send your players through maze-like hallways where one wrong step could send them falling into a spike pit, and let them search for gold hidden under large stone statues of dragons. This pack’s wall and ground autotiles offer simple concrete, detailed tiles, and even scales so you can make the perfect dragon-inspired dungeon. Maybe the palace was made by a dragon-worshiping cult that gathered dragon scales to line every surface, or the palace itself is located on an enormous dragon! Stone arches and sculpted wings can turn any normal map into a dragon fanatic’s dream room, and line important hallways with dragon statues and lanterns carved from green gemstones.

This pack also includes animated yellow-green and white flames to light the way and a small black treasure chest that could be tucked in corners of the dungeon to reward exploration. Create puzzles where your players need to change the color of flames to unlock doors or activate magic circles, or use the different sized flames as subtle hints about which rooms are more important or more dangerous while your players search for the throne room. Create a dangerous castle for your dragons to call home with the KR Legendary Palace - Dragon Tileset!

Add some new female fighters to your party’s roster with the RPG Character Pack 9! Gee-kun-soft’s latest character pack is here with 16 new female characters who are ready to rumble! Add a powerful redheaded wizard to your party to help your sword-wielding main character defeat new enemies, or let your players choose to play as a spunky twin-tailed adventurer when they start the game! Form a team with a lavender-haired fox girl fighter, a young warrior elf who wields a huge ax, and a dress-wearing mage to take on the demon lord, and let the pack’s other warriors and wizards act as NPCs who can teach your players new skills.

Each character comes with a MZ-style sprite and sv battler that are ready for battle, along with downed sprites so you can portray them as sleeping or wounded after a surprise attack. 8 different emotions fill their facesets so you can show them smiling when given a gift or upset after an especially challenging fight. And not only that, but each emotion is also shown on 8 bust images just in case your game doesn’t use smaller face images. But what if your game uses front-view enemies for battles and you want your players to battle the pink-haired archer after she reveals that she’s working for the demon lord? Don’t worry, since each character has 13 enemy images that include different emotions and recolors!

This pack also includes bonus high-res, full body art of each character so you can resize them to perfectly fit your game or appear in a codex so your players can read up on any characters that they’re interested in. If you’ve been searching for some interesting art to match your warrior or spellcaster characters or want to add memorable NPCs, check out the RPG Character Pack 9 today!
