Bring even more flames and fangs to your battles with the Last Boss Pack Vol3! Gee Kun Soft’s latest battler pack focuses on a favorite enemy type for fantasy games: dragons! Add in new fights against two-headed terrors, armored behemoths, and lithe serpents with this pack.

With 10 unique enemies to choose from, you can find a suitable dragon for any location. Battle a green-scaled dragon to save a princess from a tower, or fight an aquatic serpent to keep it from capsizing your ship! Be careful when exploring mines since your heroes may stumble across a dragon with crystal claws and tail and a nasty attitude. Even the sky isn’t safe, with lightning-summoning dragons coiling and dancing through the clouds!

And if that wasn’t enough, the dragons also each come in a special variant: undead! Surprise your heroes with another fight against the same dragon they’ve already defeated, but this time it’s fresh from the grave with empty eye sockets and tattered flesh. Maybe the true villain has been bringing these dragons back to life, or cursed them to rage forever until they’re defeated. Each enemy also comes in a high-res size, so your heroes can face off against a huge dragon during the final fight!

This pack also includes sprites for each battler, so your players can see just what they’ll be facing next! Have a large dragon stand in front of its gold hoard as a deterrent, or let an undead drake stalk your heroes as they explore an ancient ruin!

As a bonus this pack also includes images of the dragons attacking, perfect for putting some fear into your players before the battle starts! If you’ve been hoping to add some more dragons to your game, then make sure to pick up Last Boss Pack Vol3!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1869740/RPG_Maker_MZ__Retro_Future_Music_Pack/

Grab your hoverbikes and get ready to explore an incredible world with the Retro Future Music Pack! Joel Steudler’s latest music pack brings old-school sci-fi to life with 20 rocking synth tracks that cover exploration, dramatic cutscenes, and even combat! With a focus on instruments that bring a nostalgic synth feeling to each song, this pack is ready to bring any 90s cyberpunk or sci-fi style game to life.

Explore marketplaces lit with neon and full of all sorts of robotic customers while ‘Midnight Market’s drums and electric beats play in the background, and give your players a warning about possible dangers lurking in the alleys by switching to the less cheerful ‘Street Brawl’. Battle against cyborgs and hoverbike gangsters to the fast-paced beats of ‘Pedal to the Metal’ or roaring electric guitars of ‘Rocket Racer’. Have your heroes hunt down a contact who is hiding life-or-death info in an underground nightclub to the toe-tapping rhythms of ‘Techno Trouble’ and then travel through high-tech teleportation stations with the chipper beeps in ‘Route 88’.

Even if your story isn’t focused on sci-fi, these songs could find a home in your game. Maybe your modern arcade could use some synth tunes to match the flashing lights and general cheer of the place, or your villain has the power to throw your heroes into a pocket dimension where fantasy and sci-fi meet! Give your game the perfect vibes with the Retro Future Music Pack!

With only four entries, we've decided that instead of ranking them, we are going to award the first prize award to ALL FOUR ENTRIES!

So a big round of applause for our four first place winners! We will be contacting you over the next week to send you your Steam Wallet Gift Codes.

It's the New Year, and it's time for New Releases! For our first release of the year, we have 2 superb packs ready for you: a new Exterior set to go with the Winlu Cyberpunk interior set, and a whole pack of amazing combat sound effects!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1857280/RPG_Maker_MZ__Winlu_Cyberpunk_Tileset__Exterior/

What might the future have in stock for us? Well, if you go by WinLu’s Cyberpunk Exterior Tileset Pack, it will be both dark and gritty but also progressive, with some preserved trees, impressive futuristic cars and many many neon signs!

With a wide and creative range of autotiles you will get the perfect base for diverse and engaging cities, with a broad selection of tiled floors and all different kinds of walls. Even if your game is “just” modern and not futuristic, you will find some very nice pieces you might want to use here!

The additional tiles fit the Cyberpunk theme perfectly with every kind of decoration you can think of. There are windows with darkened and lit versions, or even a pane with optional bullet holes for a really rough part of town. You can add gritty fire exit stairs to your multi story buildings and have some trash bins stand around in their backyards, as well as visit the local market to buy some fresh produce or futuristic guns… or both! Some parts of the city might be in worse shape with all different kinds of holes, visible pipes and broken concrete structures. And no matter which section of the town you are in, the blinking neon signs will help you navigate - or just make your city look a lot more alive. On top of the tileset sheets, you also get a huge number of different doors that could lead to many interesting places.

So go ahead and check out this amazing pack, you will not regret it!

Whoosh! says the great battle axe, as it is swung by your barbarian hero in the direction of your enemies.

Whoosh! is the sound the giant fireball makes, when your wizard channels his magical powers to cast this spell.

Whoosh! is also the sound of the arrow, shot by your hunter heroine, who tries to take her opponents out from the distance.

And while you can use that simple word to describe those sounds, it would be a lot cooler if each of them had their own distinctive whoosh, right? And wouldn’t it be even better if there were several sounds for all different kinds of weapons and attacks, to make your battles much more immersive?

The Combat Whooshes Sound Pack brings the sounds your attacks make to a new level! With 100 distinct types of swings, shots, castings and punches there is not much left to ask for and no matter if it is an elegant sword, a slow cast spell or a futuristic whoosh - maybe coming from a blaster - this pack has it! And all those small yet powerful effects will help to make your game as immersive as it can get.

Whoosh! makes the torch, as it is lit up to be able to see something in the dungeon. Good luck, adventurer!

[h2]RPG Character Pack 4 Update[/h2]

Additionally, we've made a small update to RPG Character Pack 4 to fix an issue with the downed sprites.

For Degica Shop purchases, please redownload from your purchase email. For Steam users, the files in your DLC download folder will be updated automatically.

In both cases, for any projects where you were using the pack, you will need to replace the files in your project with the updated files.

It's time for our final release day of the year! So let's send it off with a bang... or three bangs! Three new packs to make your games come to life. And we'll be back after the new year to deliver even more!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1837122/RPG_Maker_MZ__NATHUHARUCA_Fantasy_RPG_Monster_Pack/

Find new foes for your heroes to battle with the NATHUHARUCA Fantasy RPG Monster Pack! NATHUHARUCA put together a pack of drawn monsters to help you bring more fantastical fights to your RPGs. Battle twirling dragons, possessed stones, living flowers, and more!

This pack includes 13 different monsters each with multiple recolors to fit different regions, so even when your heroes explore new areas they can still find familiar foes. Battle against red-petalled man-eating plants in lush forests while blue-stemmed ones seek out snacks in caves and tundras. Or fight solid treants with different colorations depending on their weaknesses. Explore ancient ruins while dodging magical machines and angry zombies that were accidentally brought back to life by your players, and face off against a deadly demon with rippling muscles and sharp spines in the treasure room. Search caves filled with rock bugs and tick-like spiders for a powerful blade, and battle the spirit guarding the blade to earn it!

As a bonus, this pack also includes battleback images to create a dramatic battle on a mountaintop with light spilling through dark clouds, the perfect place to fight against your biggest foe! Let your players challenge all-new enemies with NATHUHARUCA Fantasy RPG Monster Pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1853730/RPG_Maker_MZ__Rinobers_Futuristic_Characters/

Add some more people to your sci-fi games with Rinober’s Futuristic Characters! Rinober’s latest pack is here, with 12 hand-drawn characters to help bring your world to life with their own vibrant style! With spritesheets, facesets, and full body art for each character you can add more personality to your heroes and NPCs.

With the characters covering 4 women, 5 men, 2 kids, and 1 robot, you can create a living world for your players to enjoy. Make a crew out of a shorts-wearing smoothtalker, a gruff and buff cyborg, and a cheerful female pilot, or explore a futuristic city as a jacket-wearing average Joe. The facesets and full body art come with different expressions to help you really show the mood during cutscenes. Have your friendly doctor smile when talking while the no-nonsense business woman glares at your players when they fail to bring her a requested item. If your hero ends up in a crash, the injured set brings the damage to the forefront with scrapes and blood.

Along with the walking sprites, each character also has a sheet of behaviors to help add some extra movement to your maps and cutscenes. Have your kids laugh at a funny joke, or let the ship’s robot shake its head ‘no’ when something isn’t possible. Let your heroes gesture with their hands while they talk or when they need to push a button, and have random NPCs blink while your players explore the maps.

Each character comes in two versions, one with black outlines and the other with colored outlines, so that you can choose the perfect look for your game. Get ready to add more characters to your sci-fi games to populate your worlds with Rinober’s Futuristic Characters!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1853740/RPG_Maker_MZ__MGC_Animations_MZ_MegaPack_1/

Have you been searching high and low for more MZ animations? Your search is over thanks to the MGC Animations MZ MegaPack 1! ManuGamingCreations has created a pack filled with explosive elemental attacks to help you bring your game’s skills to life. Choose the perfect animation for your skills from a pool of 189 options!

These animations’ bold and bright style can add extra flair to your battles, turning a simple magic missile skill into a projectile that blasts across the battlefield to strike your foe in a fiery explosion! With single target and AoE animations for your favorite elements like fire, water, thunder, wind, and more, you can give each skill its own unique appearance. Create a whirlwind attack with a green swirling tornado that surrounds your enemy, or strike them down with a dragon head formed from flowing water. For skills that don’t need as dramatic an animation, choose from the different colored fireballs and impacts. Along with the elemental attacks there are slashes, explosions, healing sparkles, and shield animations so you can give your non-magic users some love too!

Many of the animations also include leveled up versions, so when your pyromancer learns a more powerful fire skill you can make sure its animation lives up to its damage! Or have an energy beam visually show the power level of your hero with extra flashes and arcing energy.

Each animation is ready to be added to your game, so you don’t even need to touch Effekseer to use them. Give your skills a colorful and bombastic update with MGC Animations MZ MegaPack 1!
