Sometimes it is hard to make a game, but you just have to soldier on. And this weeks releases are here to help, with two soldier themed packs, plus a new modern style soundtrack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2206630/RPG_Maker_MZ__Soldier_Character_Pack/

Ten-hut devs! It’s time to storm the battlefield with new characters from the Soldier Character Pack! Choose from 16 characters to lead your players to military success, whether it’s on land, on sea, or in space! Each soldier comes with a sprite, enemy image, faceset, bust, and sv battler! And if that wasn’t enough, every character comes in 2 variations, one wearing a hat or helmet and one without, so you can switch it up when your characters need to be more formal or when they’re kicking back and relaxing.

Dressed in crisp black and white uniforms, 10 of this pack’s characters are prepared to join your heroes in a modern tale of bravery and monster-butt kicking! Turn your players into brunette male or female recruits and have them befriend the other soldiers in the barracks, whether they’re the cheerful blonde flirting with the others or the serious raven-haired man who has something to prove. And when it’s time to receive their next orders, have your heroes visit the gray-haired and resolute commanders in their metal-decorated jackets.

But what if your game takes place in a sci-fi world of spaceships and intergalactic battles? No worries, because this pack includes 6 characters specifically designed for it! Team up the serious purple-haired female space soldier with the blue-haired boy genius to fix a damaged panel outside the ship, while the starry-eyed sharpshooter fends off drones with the help of the academy’s red-headed bad boy.

This pack also includes 16 high-res images of the characters as a bonus, so you can find even more places to use them in your game, along with 6 SV weapons to give your party some new equipment for battles! Prepare your game world for war with the Soldier Character Pack!

12 unique character voices offer up a plethora of possibilities in your game. Even if your city guards all wear the same uniform, make them stand out with their own personalities displayed through their voices! Perhaps your heroes need to go through a gate guarded by two female soldiers, one serious and the other friendly, and your players need to choose the right dialogue choices to talk their way past the guards. Or maybe the SEs just add some extra pizzazz to a cutscene your heroes can listen in on between the nervous new recruit and the tired veteran. Give the powerful lady knight in your party some voice cues during battles, or save them for the times your party takes a break to relax around the campfire! This pack comes with multiple audio formats so you can drop the SEs right into your projects, so what are you waiting for?

This week, we have a variety of new packs to help you make your games: More Generator Parts, a new Legendary Palace Tileset, and more voices!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1884910/RPG_Maker_MZ__Another_World_Heroine_Generator_2_for_MZ/

Are you a MV user who has been searching for some beautiful generator parts? Then you need to check out Another World Heroine Generator 2! Gee-kun-soft has painstakingly recreated their MZ generator part for MV, meaning you can finally give your characters a dream makeover! With 42 parts that include accessory, hair, eye, and clothing options, this pack is here to help you find the perfect pieces for each of your female characters.

20 different clothing options cover all sorts of possible personalities and classes. Dress your mages in caped outfits or two-tone asymmetrical dresses, while the party’s dancer captures the enemies’ attention with her moves in her body-hugging crop top and pants! Top the outfit with one of 5 accessories to really tie the look together. Maybe your sage wears a lightweight crown with decorative curves, or your maid-turned-assassin still wears her ruffled headband!

With 5 front hair, 5 rear hair, and 5 eye options, you’ll have an easy time giving each heroine a unique faceset. Different eye shapes can turn a simple smile into an honest grin from a young and positive archer or a knowing smirk from the party’s resident bad girl. Keep long hair out of your warrior’s face by tying it in a low ponytail or up in a braided bun, or let her keep it simple by cutting it off at her shoulders. And to finish your beast girl party member, make sure to add in this pack’s fluffy ears and tail! Each part is numbered in a way to avoid other resources, so you can drop it into your generator folder without a worry and start updating characters instantly. Dress your MV characters for success with the Another World Heroine Generator 2 pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2201300/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Legendary_Palaces__Arachnid_Tileset/

Arachnophobes, beware! The next palace you must visit may be from your nightmares thanks to the creepy-crawly decorations and cobwebs of the KR Legendary Palaces - Arachnid Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is back with another palace set, this time focusing on the dark and deadly designs of a half-man, half-spider, emperor with walls and floors tinted red and gray. Make sure your heroes keep their eyes peeled while exploring, otherwise they may walk right into a web!

Dark stone and tile floors can be broken up with bottomless pits, but don’t despair! Web autotiles may let your heroes cross safely, as long as they can avoid the sticky sections. Decorative pools of water can break up the monotone rooms with bright points of blue, or keep the creepy atmosphere going with black or red liquids in those pools instead. Fill large rooms with stairs and ladders to hard-to-reach areas (at least, hard-to-reach for non-spiderfolks) where statues and treasure chests carved from stone can be found. Stone pillars that you can top with red jewels or more spider king statues can lead the way to the throne room, where a raised platform stands alone in front of a window made from red glass. As if that wasn’t enough, this pack includes extra spiderwebs to make sure the dungeon looks like no one but spiders have been here for ages! Create a haunted manor where vampires live or a palace ruled by a dark spider king with the KR Legendary Palaces - Arachnid Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2201290/RPG_Maker_MZ__NPC_Male_Adventurers_Vol1/

Give your male NPCs time to shine with NPC Male Adventurers Vol.1! TK.Projects has made a companion pack to their female adventurers pack, this time giving voices to 12 different men you’re likely to find in the local adventurer’s guild! Chat with other adventurers, pick up new quests from a sleepy receptionist, practice your skills against the beast of a guildmaster, and try to avoid the town drunkard, each with their own SEs thanks to this pack.

With 120 SEs to choose from, you’ll have trouble keeping your male NPCs quiet! Have your heroes greeted with cheerful hellos from other young rookies or from the older (but maybe not wiser) adventurers, or start a battle with an angry shout from a hot-blooded newbie after accidentally bumping into him on the way to the quest board. Find a hidden quest by taking the time to ask why the normally happy receptionist is sighing sadly, or by waking the snoring drunken ruffian laying on the floor of the bar. Or punctuate important lore given by the guild’s minstrel with melodious hums and main quests from the guildmaster with serious grunts. This pack includes multiple file formats to make it simple to add new voices to your favorite engine! So don’t let your ladies have all the fun, give your guys some voices too with NPC Male Adventurers Vol.1!

It's time for Halloween! And this week's set of releases are just in time to celebrate the horror. Check out 3 new horror graphics packs from KR, plus a new voice pack for female adventurers!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2185610/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Halloween_Party_Tileset/

It’s trick-or-treat season, so give your heroes some treats with the KR Halloween Party Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is back with a set of tiles ready to turn your boring party scene into a hauntingly good time! Carve pumpkins, drink witch’s brew punch, and try not to scream in the homemade haunted house!

Give your hero’s home a remodel with wooden floors and striped walls in orange, purple, or gray to give your Halloween party a fitting backdrop, or keep it simple with just a rug and some bright fur wall hangings and cheery banners and bows. Light the place up with strings of skull lights or with lit jack o’ lanterns that you can leave unlit until right before the party starts. Make sure to keep the partygoers’ energy up by laying out tables of cakes, hors devours, and cupcakes alongside cauldrons of colorful punch! Decorations like white ghosts, hanging webs, and cutout bats are just what you need to turn plain hallwalls into a haunted house to scare your young heroes! But what if you need something truly scary? Then grab the gray hanging ghouls and tombstones to turn a normal backyard into a dangerous graveyard.

This pack also includes a spooky moonlit parallax image, perfect for showing that night has fallen during the party or shifting the scene towards a scarier mood. Throw a spoopy fall party with the KR Halloween Party Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2185630/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Horror_Kit_Tileset/

We’ve seen the treats from trick-or-treat, which means it’s time for some scary tricks thanks to the KR Horror Kit Tileset! Kokoro Reflections dove into our nightmares to create a set of tiles that’ll leave your heroes terrified. Create houses where the walls have eyes, cities where ghostly shadows loom behind windows of buildings you swear were empty, and graveyards full of bloody warnings with these spine-chilling tiles!

Bloody water autotiles and gruesome flesh floors can turn any normal map into a horrific local, or keep things subtle by adding oozing blood or gross mud to the edges of otherwise pleasant maps thanks to a selection of autotiles. Cover a murderer’s playground with a variety of blood stains, from bloody footprints leading to a trap or a trail of droplets left by the previous victim to warnings written in red and even a splattered heart painted on a wall. Ruin a house with shattered glass and cracks in the walls and floors, and show that a paranormal presence isn’t happy with your hero being there by switching to cracks that are dripping blood! A grinning mouth full of fangs and realistic eyes appearing on walls may be the last warning your hero has to escape. Also included in this pack are 10 fog images to help give any map a dark and dangerous feeling. Maybe the town is fine during the day, but once night falls and the fog rolls in? Who knows what could happen… Add some extra scares to your horror game maps with the KR Horror Kit Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2185650/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Witchs_House_Tileset/

Do your heroes need the help from a swamp witch to get a magical artifact? Or perhaps village children have been disappearing and a witch’s mansion deep in the forest was where they were last seen, but you need some tiles to make that mansion extra witchy? Then you need to check out the KR Witch’s House Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with another tileset pack, this time offering you all you need to make a purple-themed home that any witch would love!

With tiles for both the exterior and interior of a witch’s house, you’re ready to create all the witchy maps you need! Create a house with wild beams and railings that relies on magic to stay standing, while twisted trees and bushes of herbs grow nearby a small river. Inside, build rooms out of light brown or dark gray walls and floors where your witch can sleep, study, and eat. Hanging pink and purple bead curtains can make for excellent wall decorations or act as separators to break up a large room, and bottles and orbs can keep the color scheme going all over the house. If your witch is more scary than sweet, skip the shiny crystals and decorate the house with cobwebs, hanging herbs, and skulls to create the right atmosphere. Don’t forget to include a witch’s necessities: cauldrons, candles, and a broom!

This pack also includes sprites for a small magical treasure chest and a purple door so your heroes can enter the house! Create a unique home for your game’s resident witch with the KR Witch’s House Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2185600/RPG_Maker_MZ__NPC_Female_Adventurers_Vol1/

Add some extra liveliness to your adventurer’s guilds and pubs with the NPC Female Adventurers Vol.1! TK.Projects latest SE pack includes 120 new female voice clips you can add to cutscenes and events to bring NPCs to life. 12 unique characters offer you a good selection for possible combat-curious NPCs. Introduce your heroes to brave adventurers, polite receptionists, tough guild masters, and more with this pack!

Give your heroes a central location where they can take on new quests with an adventurer’s guild, where different receptionists can help them find an exciting quest. Maybe the youngest receptionist is ready with suggestions for cool (but difficult) quests with a happy cheer, while the quieter middle-aged receptionist is more likely to calmly recommend one that she knows your heroes can handle. If they prove themselves, maybe they’ll even get to meet the guild master, a clever woman who responds to battle challenges with a hearty laugh before throwing the challenger out the door. Have your heroes listen to a local minstrel warm up her voice with some “la-la”s while turning in a finished quest, or start a hidden quiet with a surprised shout from a normally calm warrior out in the forest. Each SE comes with multiple audio formats so that you can easily add them to your favorite engine. Fill your maps with some energetic voices with the NPC Female Adventurers Vol.1!

New tileset from the deep, new set of tracks, and another voice pack are here!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2185580/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Legendary_Palaces__Kraken_Tileset/

Avast me hearties, it’s time to seek a deadly ruler found well below the ocean waves with the KR Legendary Palaces - Kraken Tileset! Kokoro Reflections searched the briny depths for inspiration, this time settling on the enormous cephalopod of legend: the kraken! Craft a palace that Davy Jones would love on the seafloor, where sunken ships were combined to form a maze of wooden hallways and flooded rooms.

Waterlogged wood and old metal grates can form the floors and walls of your submerged palace, with water, moss, and rocks forming natural blockages in some rooms. And for some man-made blockages, grab one of the deadly spike tiles that burst from the floor! Natural decorations like seashells, coral, seaweed, and hanging kelp make it easy to show your players just how long it’s been since any living had last set foot in the palace. As your heroes make their way deeper into the building, cover the walls with ropes and porthole windows that make way for detailed wooden carvings of the mighty kraken as they near the throne room. When they finally enter that last room, let them see the powerful ruler of the palace lounging on a throne carved into huge tentacles of a wooden statue… Or have them discover the skeleton of the last king, resting next to the throne he ruled from thousands of years before.

This pack also includes a wooden chest sprite, so your heroes can receive some booty after risking their life to explore the monster-infested castle! Make a dungeon only a pirate could love with the KR Legendary Palaces - Kraken Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2185590/RPG_Maker_MZ__Hainuwele/

Give your valuable scenes some fitting music with Hainuwele! This music pack from ayato sound create includes 24 BGMs that mix instruments with electronic beats and rhythms to make tracks to cover a wide array of scenes, from heart pounding battles to relaxing village visits and even twisted reveals of who is truly friend and foe!

Start your hero’s journey to the haunting tunes of an echoing xylophone as they listen to the village elder’s tale of an almost forgotten treasure tucked away in a lost dungeon. With that tale still swirling in their mind, send your hero off to find it with a new beat joining the xylophone to turn the music from haunting to intriguing. Meet and befriend quirky companions to a track of plucked strings, growing the party until they’re strong enough to explore the dungeon with its dark tunnels and mysteriously slow music tracks replacing the energetic toe-tapping ones from above ground.

And when your heroes finally find the lost treasure, play a track with odd vocal pops to set them on edge as they realize that there was a very good reason for that treasure to be forgotten! Battle against hordes of monsters to fix what they broke while drums and synth chimes blast in the background. Once the day is saved, let your heroes return home as calming pianos play and the knot of stress in between their shoulder blades dissolves. This pack includes multiple audio formats for each track so you can easily add it to your favorite engine. Give your heroes’ origin stories some stellar BGM with the Hainuwele music pack!

Give your NPCs their own voices with 10 unique characters, each covering a variety of situations from greetings and laughter to angry shouts and screams of terror! Give your heroes some options when they are searching for a way to enter the kingdom’s castle, with the cheerful laughter of a young boy leading them to a quest where they must play with the prince until he welcomes them into the castle or have them race after the scream of an elderly nobleman who made the mistake of entering a dangerous alley. Once they have access to the gilded hallways, let busy noblemen offer a quick hello when your heroes walk past and the bearded king gives a grand laugh during his introduction. Though if they want to hear about the true troubles of the kingdom, have your heroes talk with the handsome butler who often lets out a tired sigh.
