New: Japanese Modern Cityscape, Japanese Four Seasons- Tree Tiles, Ambient Works

A hearty gobble gobble to all our fans from the US having Thanksgiving, and a hearty "THREE NEW RESOURCE PACKS!" for everyone. It's another release day, let's see what is in store... for the store.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1823531/RPG_Maker_MZ__Japanese_Modern_Cityscape_Tileset/

Bring a compact and busy feeling to your cities with the Japanese Modern Cityscape Tileset! Grayfax software’s tileset contains pixel art tiles to help you build a city inspired by modern Japan, with road signs, soda machines, and even a small shrine to help your city look lived in.

Let your players take a break in a small park with swing sets and a bouncy panda between tall buildings, or make a railroad station into your game’s fast travel system. Fences made out of stone, metal, and even plants can keep your players from wandering into people’s yards while still letting them see little details like dog houses or bicycles that show someone really lives there. Certain autotile walls with windows help you build tall apartment buildings or skyscrapers while others are perfect for creating unique two-story houses, giving you ways to break up the monotony of buildings in your cities. The tile sheets with windows also come in three versions so you can choose if the windows are lit or not, perfect for distinguishing between daytime and night on your maps.

Also included are some sprites to help bring some movement to your cities. Keep your streets busy with compact cars and buses, or have some small train cars rattle past on railroad tracks with flashing crossing lights at all the crossroads. Or set up a security camera that turns to keep an eye on things above a convenience store’s glass doors.

MV and MZ sample projects can help you easily set up passability in your game, and give you examples for how to use all the tiles. If you’ve been wanting to give your modern cities a new look, pick up the Japanese Modern Cityscape Tileset!

Get ready to create gorgeous forests with Japanese Four Seasons - Tree Tiles! Norakoma has created a pack of tree tiles inspired by those commonly found in Japan, perfect for games that take place in Japan or ones that just call for more tree options as your players explore the world.

14 sheets of big trees offer up tons of variations to turn a simple outdoor map into something stunning. Hide secrets behind thick trunks and let your players walk under arching branches as they explore your forest maps, and decorate a garden with wisteria loaded with beautiful flowers. Build a bamboo forest with two full sheets of towering green stalks and lush canopies, or decorate a riverbank with the long and flowing branches of weeping willows.

The trees also have their own variants based on seasons, so as time passes in your game you can switch out tilesets to match! Turn the lush green of summer leaves to red as the days grow cooler, or let your players know that spring is right around the corner with small pink cherry blossoms appearing on icy branches. There are also a few dying trees that would be a great starting point for a side quest! Can your players bring a town’s centerpiece back to life?

This pack also includes MV and MZ sample projects, so you can copy preset tilesets right into your games and start planting trees right away! If you’ve been wanting to decorate your Japanese-inspired maps with fitting trees or just want some foliage to make your forests stand out, check out Japanese Four Seasons - Tree Tiles today!

Have you been looking for a new song for the moment your players discover a ruin full of technological wonders? Or need something different for when they explore an unsettlingly empty shop? Find the right background music for some of your scenes with Ambient Works! This pack’s 13 BGMs blend into your game’s world to help keep your players immersed.

The electronic tracks with solid beats are fitting for any spacefaring sci-fi games, when your players explore the space station’s mall for the first time or just when they’re taking a break on their ship. Give your quiet port an untrustworthy vibe with an echoey guitar and slight background noise that tickles your players’ brains with the thoughts of “something isn’t right here”. Or choose a track with soft marimba-like beats that could slide into any scene where your heroes take a moment in nature to rest and remember why they started their adventure in the first place.

With multiple file formats included for each track, it’s simple to add the songs to your favorite engine. Give Ambient Works a listen today and find the right track for that scene that’s been giving you trouble!

New DLC: Meal Time Tileset - Fantasy, Heroine Character Generator 3 for MZ

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1816290/RPG_Maker_MZ__Meal_Time_Tileset__Fantasy_Edition/

What do a birthday party, a king’s dining room and a restaurant have in common? They all call for stunning food, well arranged on the best plates available and ready to let your taste buds tingle!

With the Meal Time pack there won’t be an empty table left in your game, unless you really want it to be. Filled with mouth watering goods, this set has everything your heroes could be craving for. Be it a rustic homemade pie from your main character's grandmother or a three course meal, starting with a delicious vegetable soup, followed by a sushi platter and closing with a dessert of fruit, the possibilities are endless. And for your more adventurous gourmets there are also some more fantastic options available - are you brave enough to give the shark head a try? Do the faces on the vegetables keep you from trying them

So, no matter your game or setting, there is something in here for you. Maybe your too-late-to-school protagonist has to run past the beautiful pancake stack their mom made for them or that your fantasy heroes enjoy a hearty filling meal in a tavern along the way, you will find many scenarios become even better with these. And on top of that, there are also some spoiled dishes included which could be very interesting for horror settings or as details in abandoned places.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1819720/RPG_Maker_MZ__Heroine_Character_Generator_3_for_MZ/

Do you ever feel like you run out of options for your heroines, especially for a modern setting, and are looking for a broad selection of cool new pieces? Then there is no need to search anymore, as the Heroine Character Generator 3 for MZ comes with so many clothes, hairstyles, and accessories that you can spend hours trying out the best combinations for your unique characters!

Maybe you want to have a cute sheep cosplayer be part of your party, fully dressed up from the wooly body suit to the headpiece with little horns? Or you want to be the healer of your contemporary game to be a nurse with the appropriate clothes? You could round this up by tying her hair into pigtails so they don’t get in her way when she cares for her fellow party mates. With a total of twenty different outfits there are many routes you can take. You can even have your characters change clothes midgame! Each of them can be worn with one of the eight individual headpieces that are included as well, so why not finish your character design for example with a sweet little striped bow on the head?

With four of each front and rear hair there are plenty of options on how to arrange your heroine’s hair to give her the perfect look! Do you want it to be tied up in ox horns or maybe should it be shoulder length with cute bangs and a braided midsections? That and much more is possible with this pack!

Enjoy the nearly endless options of combinations and create your perfect strong female heroines, ready to take out their enemies!

New DLC: Big Garden Tiles, Hero Music Collection

A new outdoors tileset with an amazing almost fairy tale style! Plus another epic soundtrack from Ayato Sound Create! Let's look at our latest releases.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1812330/RPG_Maker_MZ__Big_Garden_Tiles/

Have you been wanting to include a game section where your heroes shrink, but don’t have giant plants to help sell the illusion? Do you want to make a cute fairy village where they all live in mushroom houses? Then check out Big Garden Tiles! This tile pack contains tilesets to help add even more nature and magic to your maps!

With flowers that tower over your heroes and acorns the size of their heads, it’ll be obvious that they’ve fallen down the rabbit hole into a new and magical world! Giant beds of roses and tulips along with house-sized mushrooms let you create amazing towns for fairies and garden gnomes, and the included interior sets offer up some perfect furniture to decorate their homes. WIth all sorts of wooden cabinets (some that are still growing!) and beds with a selection of comfy blankets, you can make the forest home of their dreams for these magical creatures.

And if your game doesn’t include adventuring through overgrown parks? Then you could still make use of the normal-sized plants to make great gardens. Add some cheery daffodils to front yards, and show how lazy certain npcs are by covering their lawns with dandelions! Fairy rings made of colorful mushrooms could be used as teleportation spots, or just add some variety to your forests’ undergrowth with morels and chanterelle mushrooms.

Also included are sprites for gnomes and glowing fairies to add even more magic to your mushroom villages! Or use the stone gnome as a cute garden decoration - just be careful if you spot its eyes glowing red. A bright red hat is also included, giving you the option to dress your heroes up in something a bit more suitable when visiting a gnome town.

This pack comes with tiles sized for both Ace and MV/MZ, so you can use it in your preferred engine. Add some fun new tiny adventures to your game with Big Garden Tiles!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1812540/RPG_Maker_MZ__Hero_Music_Collection/

Add some more epicness to your games’ soundtracks with Hero Music Collection! Ayato Sound Create has crafted 25 BGMs to help you find the perfect tracks for a variety of scenes! To get your players excited to play right from the get-go, why not pick one of the energetic tunes as your title screen music? When those songs pop up again during battles or scenes, your players will know something important is going on!

With a variety of instruments used, you can easily give different parts of your cities their own tracks to put your players in the right mindset for where they are. An upbeat bass and guitar would be great for an outdoor market or port, while a quirky electronic song is perfect for an underground bar. Play soft piano and strings during your game’s calmer moments, when your heroes finally have a chance to catch their breath and share some secret feelings with each other. And when your heroes finally face the final boss, give them pulsing drums to get them ready for the fight of their lives!

This pack includes ogg, m4a, and mp3 file formats for every song, so you can easily add it to your game in any engine! Give Hero Music Collection a listen today!
