Build quirky buildings and crystal-topped towers for your mystical mentors with the KR Mage’s Tower Tileset! Kokoro Reflections has donned their pointy hats and magic robes to create interiors and exteriors of towers that any mage would be happy to call home. A1, A2, A4, A5, and 4 B sheets offer up a variety of beige and purple walls and decor to create cool towers. Diagonal and rounded stone walls can be used to make unique towers topped with conical wood roofs and castle-like buildings with angled walls and flat roofs where teleportation magic circles could be placed. Fill your wizard’s rooms with bookshelves overflowing with books and magical knicknacks, and give them a work room where floating crystals and glowing potion pots take up most of the space!

6 wooden door sprites give you choices for if it’s light or dark beyond the doorway and 3 openable objects can take the place of huge treasure chests to reward your heroes for checking every crate and barrel. For a more magical touch to your maps, use this pack’s included books and scrolls that can open and unroll by themselves. Or leave them for your heroes to open and read for hints and tricks! So if your magical heroes need a new place to call home or you want your wizard’s guild to have cool towers as their bases in every city, check out the KR Mage’s Tower Tileset!

Let your heroes heal themselves with a bright red HP potion and save the light blue MP potion for an emergency, and have them discover a concentrated HP potion with a deeper red that can be used on the entire team later in the game! Bottles with black, orange, purple, and prismatic liquids could be used to poison foes or buff a party member's attack stat.

As if that wasn’t enough, each potion bottle comes in an open, corked, and corked and tagged version, meaning this pack has a whopping 420 potion images!

New DLC: Doomsday SFX, Heroine Character Generator 9 for MZ

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2743140/RPG_Maker_MZ__Doomsday_SFX/

BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP! That’s the sound effect alarm, letting you know the Doomsday SFX is out! Joel Steudler is here with a massive pack of 350 sound effects to fill your modern and post-apocalyptic games with the sounds of life or the echoes of life, depending on if your hero can find anyone else still alive. Let your players know they’ve found useful items after rustling around in plastic bags, unscrewing jars, and even shoving ceramic pots aside with sounds instead of messages! Add the crunch of glass and clatter of metal under your hero’s boots when they search abandoned buildings and give equipping jeans a proper zipper SE. Fill your battles with the sounds of shotgun blasts, rifle shots, and submachine bursts, or try to skip battles by messing with computers and machines that have all sorts of sounds: powering on and off, engines starting and idling, error alerts, and pinging sensors!

Making a fantasy game? Don’t overlook this pack! Besides the sounds of cloth and GUI boops that could fit anywhere, a number of the non-machine sounds can find a perfect home in your world. Give the inn’s busy kitchen the random sounds of clanging pots and pans and the creak of wooden floors, or have a suit of armor start to move with its screeching metal scraping along the ground. Static could replace your background music after a loud explosion messes with your party’s hearing and archers can always use more bow ‘twangs’ and mages can use flamethrower SEs for their fire spells! Each track comes in M4a and Ogg audio formats so you can easily drop them into your MV/MZ project, or use them in your favorite engine! Give your game all the clunks, bangs, gunshots, and electronic beeps it needs with the Doomsday SFX pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2743170/RPG_Maker_MZ__Heroine_Character_Generator_9_for_MZ/

Fill your party with magical maids, towering angelic knights, lab coat-wearing alchemists, and more with the Heroine Character Generator 9 for MZ pack! Gee-kun-soft’s latest generator pack offers up 47 female parts to help your party members and important NPCs stand out from background characters. Give your punk heroine two-tone hair and a dark coat to wear while your Edo-inspired NPCs dress in gorgeous kimonos.

This pack includes 5 AccA, 5 AccB, 20 Clothing, 5 Eyes, 5 Front Hair, 5 Rear Hair, 1 Facial Mark, and 1 Glasses parts to give your character designs some updates! Create a straight-haired heroine who starts the game as a maid or shopkeeper’s assistant wearing a simple apron over a dress, and who ditches her uniform for a fiery red dress and cape combo or gilded white armor with a matching headdress to match her fighting style. Give your witch party member a dark and spiky cloak or a dress decorated in stars depending on her powers, and have your isekai-ed heroine with long twin-tails keep her more modern and comfortable dress instead of wearing one of the fantastical outfits.

Add even more fantasy to your world with Jiangshi-inspired robes with long sleeves and a talisman attached to a hat, and feathered wings that come out of your heroine’s temples! Smaller pieces like painted face stripes and glasses can add that last detail your heroine has been missing. If you’ve been wanting more options for dresses and detailed robes and some eye-catching accessories, pick up the Heroine Character Generator 9 for MZ pack!
