Battle bulls, bats, behemoths, and all-around baddies with the Pixel Battlers Monsters Pack 2! ELV Games is back with another set of front view pixel art battlers, sized for Ace and MV/MZ, for your heroes to face in combat! 36 different monsters are ready to turn any map into a creature-filled dungeon. Battle fish and slithering dragons on beaches, snakes and goblins in forests, bats and demons in caves, and more with this pack! Keep your players on their toes with tons of different enemies they could fight at any moment and keep them thinking with upgraded troops that can’t be defeated by mashing attack. Teach your players the basics with small horned demons and charging bulls early in the game, and then challenge them with evolved versions where the demons have magical swords and shields and the bulls are replaced with axe-wielding minotaurs! Or let your players decide if they want to turn a normal fight into a deadly boss battle with increased rewards by having three-eyed mob monsters turn into six-eyed demons and cute little wildcats become muscular werecats if the battle lasts longer than 5 turns.

Each monster also comes in 4 different colors, bringing the pack total to 144 battlers! Fight a horde of green, blue, yellow, and red goblins who each have their own elemental strengths and weaknesses, or switch between the black, brown, purple, and red minotaurs so that battles don’t feel exactly the same even when your players are grinding to finish a challenging collection side quest. If your game has been needing some more creatures and critters to keep battles interesting or if you want to add upgradable enemies to your ever-evolving dungeons, check out the Pixel Battlers Monsters Pack 2!

RPG Maker MZ has been updated to version 1.9.0.
The update contents are as follows:

• Added Character Generator assets in dlc/BasicResources/generator folder. Import the assets following the steps written in a text file which exists in the same folder.
  
• Face and icon images can now be selected from multiple size standards, supporting asset standards from the previous series.
  
• In the database [System 2] - [Editor Settings] - [Message Width], you can now change the position of the guideline for a new line break displayed in the "Show Text" event command. It is specified by the number of characters. It supports both cases with and without a face image.
  
• You can now exclude specific files during deployment. You can exclude files/folders that match the extensions specified in "Exclude extensions" and the names specified in "Exclude files/folders" (include the extension for files) to export the game folder.
  
• In the database [System 2] - [Advanced Settings] - [Pictures Upper Limit], you can now change the maximum number of pictures. You can set up to 500.
  
• When you select "Save as Image" by right-clicking on the map, you can now set four levels of reduction scale. In addition, it is now possible to export an image at the same magnification even for large maps of 64x64 or more.
  
• The amount of Parameter Changes for weapons/armors can now be set up to -9999 to 9999 for Max HP and Max MP, and -999 to 999 for other parameters.
  
• There is no longer a coordinate limit when placing enemies in "Troops". If you place it off-screen and cannot click it, use "Align" to reset it.

• You can now select maps on a map selector dialog by specifying "map" or "location" for the annotation "@type" of the plugin parameter. If you specify "map" for @type, the ID of the selected map will be set as its value. If you specify "location", you can select a map and the coordinates on the map and an object (string) containing the map ID, X coordinate and Y coordinate will be set as its value. ex) {"mapId":"1","x":"0","y":"0"}

• Fixed an issue that the scroll bar could not be moved when using a touch screen (such as an LCD tablet) on Mac.
  
• Fixed an issue that the scroll bar movement status was stored when another event editor was opened with the scroll bar moved horizontally in the event editor.
  
• Fixed an issue that when there was a map that existed on the map tree but its data file did not exist and you deploy with "Exclude Unused Fils" enabled, the actually used assets were unintentionally deleted.

Two new tilesets to add to the Summerwind Saga! Forests & Mountains and Village!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3479490/RPG_Maker_MZ__Summerwind_Saga__Forest__Mountains/

Climb steep cliffs and search for herbs and mushrooms under lush canopies with the Summerwind Saga - Forests & Mountains pack! ELV Games continues their Summerwind Saga series with a variety of trees and rocky cliff faces to add all new areas for your heroes to explore and your farmers to use as new spots to farm! A2 ground tiles are ready to be covered with 29 B sheets filled with grass edges to make smooth transitions, trees and plants to fill an area with nature, and cliffs that can be mixed and matched to create towering mountains.

Create forests where the trees have different sized canopies and twisting trunks in two different colors so that it doesn’t feel like each grove is a copy, and scatter small red-capped mushrooms in the shadows that your heroes can collect to cook or craft with! Use enormous fallen logs as magical portals between areas and keep your new heroes safe by setting up fences and signs so they don’t end up fighting monsters way beyond their level. Let your heroes climb grass-covered hills to find rare trees or climb even higher until dirt and stone is all you can find. Show that time is passing in your game world with spring, summer, fall, and winter versions of the forest and tree tiles, and turn a safe mountain pass into a frigid challenge with the snow-covered winter version. Give each season their own collectables and monsters, or let the changing seasons subtly prompt your players into action to stop the final boss before it’s too late!

Each tileset sheet comes in 2 sizes, 32x32px for Ace and 48x48px for MV/MZ, so you can use it in your favorite engine! If you’ve been wanting to expand your farming game with some more locations to forage in or need some variations to show different seasons as time passes in your game, check out the Summerwind Saga - Forests & Mountains pack!

Build a cozy town for your heroes to call home with the Summerwind Saga - Village pack! ELV Games is here with a set of tiles ready to create villages for your heroes to live in and visit. This pack’s A2 ground tiles and 29 B sheets can make a bunch of buildings that you can decorate to match your vision! Choose between 1-tile and 2-tile tall walls and top them with gabled roofs covered in blue, red, or black shingles so you can give each town a consistent look or mark important buildings with a roof that stands out compared to the normal houses. Decorate each house with chimneys and round, arched, or square windows, and don’t forget to give the gardeners flowers on their windowsills! Place cobblestone paths between businesses so it’s easy to get to them and mark each with a wooden sign above their door so travelers know which is the item shop and which is an inn with a quick glance. And make the whole village feel more lived-in with boxes piled high against walls, and wooden swings and teeter-totters for the kids of the village to play with while their parents are busy with work.

Normal and snow-covered versions of each house tile makes it simple to show changing seasons with the buildings themselves, or make sure that a village hidden deep in the snowy mountains is properly coated with fluffy snow. Each tileset sheet also comes in 32x32px and 48x48px-sized versions, so you can easily use them in Ace, MV/MZ, or your favorite engine! Pick up the Summerwind Saga - Village pack and give your heroes a nice place to return to after hours of adventuring and foraging!
