https://store.steampowered.com/app/2448050/RPG_Maker_MZ__Time_Elements__Caves_and_Dungeons/

Send your players underground to find rare gems with the Time Elements - Caves and Dungeons pack! Finalbossblue is back with another piece of the Time Elements series, this time offering up stone and earth walls that are perfect for any underground location. Let your players step into shallow caves where grass and roots fade into dirt and stones the deeper they go and have them stop to rest at a campfire next to an underground river, or let them follow wooden supports and mine tracks through a confusing maze of caves until they reach caverns filled with gold nuggets and shining crystals.

Make sure your players can see with some light character sheets with lanterns or flames that can be placed strategically around the caves, and have minecarts race along tracks in the mines that are still active. Or add some extra danger to a dungeon with trapdoors, spinning saw blades, and spikes from the floor! Just make sure to use some of the included levers so your players can turn those dangers off or open new paths so they can fully explore the area. And as if all that wasn’t enough, this pack also includes some mining animations set in 2 animation sheets! Give your players some exciting visuals when they mine with gemstones bursting out of the rocks, or have some fun with your battles by creating a skill where jewels are thrown at the enemies to distract them with shinies! Dive down deep into the earth and uncover abandoned mines and forgotten ruins with the Time Elements - Caves and Dungeons pack!

Give your heroes a place to call home with the Time Elements - Hometown Tileset! Finalbossblue expands his Time Elements series with pixel art tiles to help you build a calm farming village and forest town filled with wooden walls and thatched roofs, the perfect place for your young heroes to spend their youth! A1, A2, A3, and A4 sheets are filled with ground and wall options for all your interior and exterior village needs, and specific A5 and B sheets for inside, outside, and around town contain tons of detailed tiles to make each map stand out. Follow hanging lanterns and signposts through a forest path lined with bushes and scruffy tufts of drying weeds to farmlands surrounded by low stone walls and guarded by pumpkin-headed scarecrows all the way to the town. Comfy beds and busy kitchens lie within brick inns topped with colorful tiles ready for your heroes to rest and recover, or visit the town square where villagers gather to gossip near the town’s well and stone statues of the goddesses in hopes of finding some side quests or important clues.

Don’t forget to add some extra details with 10 included character sheets! Place treasure chests around the town and in houses to reward your players for exploring, and let them open wooden doors that are different depending on who lives inside. Give your game some farming features with 8 plants like tomatoes, carrots, and pumpkins that your players can grow to sell or eat, each with 4 stages of growth. Or use the books with turning pages to show when your heroes are studying and gaining intelligence points instead of just fading out the screen. This pack’s resources come in three sizes so you can easily add them to your favorite engine. If you’ve been needing some tiles to make a relaxed village or have been wanting a new pixel art style to play with, pick up the Time Elements - Hometown Tileset today!

The plant and rock sheets come in two variations, a bright version and a more muted blue version, so that you can choose the best option for your city.

New DLC: KR Modern Hospital Tileset, Big Icons Vol.2 - Buffs and Debuffs

Two new resource packs: big icons to indicate the various status effects your character can have, and a hospital tileset to build a place to go to cure your characters of the negative ones!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2408560/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Modern_Hospital_Tileset/

Give your doctor characters and injured heroes a place to call home with the KR Modern Hospital Tileset! Kokoro Reflections steps back into modern times with a pack full of technology and care-related objects to build a functional hospital in your game. A2, A3, A4, and 4 B sheets cover a variety of equipment to let you build an emergency room, operating theater, gym, bathroom, lab, children’s wing, and more!

Introduce your main character’s motivation through a cutscene in the MRI room where the equipment takes up most of the space or standing in front of the maternity ward where tiny cots line walls decorated with adorable animal decals. Or give your game a horror twist by sending your players down into the damp pipe-filled basements and into patient rooms where wheelchairs, gurneys, and IV stands create mazes to search for a missing person in the middle of the night. Even if your game doesn’t take place in a hospital, this pack still has things for you! An exterior B sheet offers up angled roofs, trees, and radio dishes to help you build a unique city, and bathroom and cafeteria tiles can be used in other places such as office buildings or even schools.

This pack also includes 9 character sheets covering ambulances, helicopters, doors, and valves to make sure your hospital is up to code! After losing a battle instead of making it a game over you could rush your injured heroes in a vehicle racing along roads or flying through the sky to the hospital, or have ambulances randomly stop in front of the hospital when your players are exploring the exterior map to make your game world seem more alive. So if your story takes place in a hospital or you want to let your players explore all sorts of buildings in your modern game, check out the KR Modern Hospital Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2408540/RPG_Maker_MZ__Big_Icons_Vol2__Buffs_and_Debuffs/

Make sure your players know what’s going on with states in battles with the Big Icons Vol.2 - Buffs and Debuffs pack! Bis is back with another set of stylized icons to offer up more options for your game. Fill your battles with icons warning your players when enemies are powered up and invulnerable to magic, and let them know when it’s time for an all-out attack thanks to a buffed attack stat!

37 colorful icons cover a variety of stats and buffs to add to your battles. Make sure your players know when stats like attack, defense, and magic are buffed or debuffed with bright green or red arrows, and help them plan out when to use a thief’s steal skill to swipe a powerful relic thanks to buffed agility and luck. Commonly seen states like charmed, blind, and confusion each have their own icons to keep your players updated on how every party member is doing. Unique state icons like winged ankles for floating, a cutesy ghost for ghost-ified, and noxious green wavy lines for stinky give you even more ways to add fun and interesting systems. Maybe your heroes end up with the stinky state after a hard day of battling and going to bed stinky means they start the next day with a debuff, or maybe the ghost-ified state means they can visit the undead-only shop hidden in the town’s cemetery!

Want to use larger icons in your in-game guide or during cutscenes? Then use the included 1024x1024 pixel high resolution icons! Resize them to the perfect size for what you need, or have them fill the screen during a silly scene to make your players chuckle. Pick up Big Icons Vol.2 - Buffs and Debuffs today and give your states some new easy to understand icons!
