Bring your magical girls and modern fashionistas to life with Heroine Character Generator 2 for MZ! Gee-Kun-Soft is back with MZ generator parts to take your female leads from drab to fab! This pack’s 38 generator parts contain new accessories, eyes, clothing options, and hairstyles to help you make your heroines look just how you imagine them.

All new front and rear hairstyles let you give your heroines faces framed by luscious curls or bangs swept to each side. Let your tomboy tie her long hair up with a ribbon or cut it into a bob so that it’s easy to maintain. For your warriors with long hair, how about a thick braid to keep it out of the way during battle? And when the fighting is done and it’s time to party, let it fall loose in long flowing curls. Don’t forget to decorate it with the pack’s new accessories! Adorable cat ears with a small flower accessory or a fluffy bow on the top of her head can really show off your characters’ personalities.

And if you’ve been needing more outfits, this pack is for you! 20 clothing options offer all sorts of possibilities for modern worlds. Give your schoolgirl-turned-magical-girl a simple uniform for her day to day scenes and a sleeveless dress with stars on her skirt when she needs to take on some baddies! Fantasy games can also find a use for some of the dresses that would be perfect for wearing to fancy parties. Or have a scene where your heroine needs to dress as a maid to sneak into a noble’s mansion.

With 3 AccA, 1 AccB, 1 beast ear, 20 clothing, 5 eyes, 4 front hairs, and 4 rear hairs generator pieces, this pack is full of pieces to help create your heroines. Make sure to check out the Heroine Character Generator 2 for MZ pack today!

Are the default music choices not quite fitting your globetrotting adventure? Then give World Music Pack Vol.1 a listen! Northsound Inc has made a pack that can take your heroes on an adventure around the globe, with 26 BGMs that cover towns, dungeons, battles, and everything in between!

Battle against foes in different lands while exciting flutes or powerful strings cheer you on, and explore dangerous dungeons to steady percussion and curious strings. Wander open fields or busy towns to the lively tune of flamenco guitars, or take a break at a relaxing tea shop as calming strings play in the background. The addition of choirs to a few songs take them to the next level, inspiring awe in your players when they enter forgotten ruins or mystical sites.

This pack’s 24 MEs offer even more ways to improve your scenes’ soundscape, with tunes for resting at inns, finding items, battle victories and defeats, and more! Introduce a powerful character with a burst of taiko drumming or reveal a beautiful landscape with lutes and flutes. And 15 SEs make sure that you can make your menus' sounds match the rest of your game’s musical themes, with short Arabic and Japanese inspired jingles.

So if your game focuses on adventures all over the world, needs some suitable tunes for exploring a desert, or just needs a unique soundtrack for your fantasy world, check out World Music Pack Vol.1 today!

Take your game to a galaxy far, far away with Tyler Cline's SciFi Music Pack! Tyler is at it again with a music pack perfect for those of us who dream of travelling through the stars. So put your spacesuit on and get ready to blast off with synth tunes!

This pack’s 13 BGMs cover a range of emotions to help you tell your space stories. Float through space to the relaxing tones of Andromeda or the otherworldly strings of Starlit Iris. Fight off enemy spaceships or alien creatures to the fast-paced beat of Calculated Assault, and try to avoid deadly laser blasts while Solar Flare’s electronic beeps warn you of the danger.

Don’t forget to take some breaks from all the exciting space travel! Pick one of the calmer tunes as background music for your space bars, or when your hero just needs to take a few minutes to look out the window to fully appreciate the stars. The softer melodies are the perfect backdrop when you want your player to realize just how big and empty space can be.

The pack’s songs come in MP3, OGG, WAV and M4A formats, so it’s easy to use them in your favorite engine! Make your game sound out of this world with Tyler Cline’s SciFi Music Pack!

Today's release day is Pixelrific! Two awesome pixel art packs, one featuring tiles, the other featuring battlers, ready to make your game's art sing!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1750400/RPG_Maker_MZ__Japanese_Shrine_and_Temple_Game_Assets/

As you wander through the beautiful rural Japan, you see it - a breathtakingly beautiful temple. With its iconic roof shapes and torii, you clearly know that is what it must be. On your way through, you walk past sakura trees blooming in soft pink and gold and stone statues. Life is delightful, and so is this place.

If the picture you now have in your head is something you want to see in your game, the Japanese Shrine and Temple Game Assets pack is just what you need. Gutty Kreum did a fantastic job turning this theme into charming pixel art ready for you to use!

The tiles enable you to map a shrine or temple complex of your liking and bring enough variation to them that you can have several locations in the style that won’t look the same.

You can pick between different roof colors and several different cobbles for the ground as well. Along with the static tiles there are also animated options for the canals and doors, to bring some extra life to your maps!

And to make it extra accessible, Gutty Kreum included sample projects to help you envision and implement your maps, plus a small tutorial on how to map with the tiles.
So what are you waiting for? There is a temple ready to explore!

Picture this: You picked a beautiful pixelated style for your game, set up your maps, your story and then… you realize your heroes need something to fight. But where to get high quality pixel art enemies? The answer is: right here!

The Otani Pixel Fantasy Enemy Pack No 1 brings ten different monsters, each with three different versions, making it a total of 30 amazing creatures to face in battle. From skeleton to succubus and from goblin to golem, the set focuses on the basic enemies every fantasy game can make a use of.

By adding those three variations which are far more than recolors it opens a lot of interesting ways you can use them. Take the dragon for example: While they all share the incredible detailed scales and intimidating pose, one comes as a vanilla green dragon, one as a red one that breathes blue flames and the last is a black one which is covered in lightning bolts.

This allows you to use them for different regions, difficulty levels or as unique bosses, however you can imagine! No matter what you are going with, with this pack your heroes will have an interesting and exciting journey ahead of them… full of things to fight!

You know the drill, it's Thursday, and that means new RPG Maker resource packs! This week we have a new background image collection, plus an entire soundtrack of battle music!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1737260/RPG_Maker_MZ__Eberouge_Background_Image_Pack_4/

Have you been hoping for some more background options from the Eberouge Background Image collection? If so, you’re in luck! Five Happiness is back with another set of 28 background images to help you put your players right into the scenes! Modeled like locations in a 90s 3D game, the images’ unique style can make your game’s world stand out.

This pack’s 24 unique backgrounds cover a range of interior and exterior locations that could work in a fantasy or school-themed game. Have your players attend a school where the classes are varied, with a science classroom with glass beaker and test tubes lining the shelves, an art room with paintings and sculptures strewn about, and even a potions class with herbs hanging from the rafters and a human skull next to glass bottles! Or use the image with a slightly open door during a scene where your hero overhears someone plotting to murder the king! If your hero needs a break from being inside, then the park backgrounds with their well-kept lawns and stone fountain offer a great backdrop while they relax.

Some of the backgrounds also have a second version, with different lighting or weather to best fit the scene. Have your players walk down a tree-lined dirt path during a sunny day on their way to school in one scene, and then have them bump into their crush on the same path when it’s dark and pouring, and they’re drenched to the bone. Or have a castle’s rotunda be extra bright due to sunlight streaming in through windows on a special day.

These backgrounds match the style in previous Eberouge Background Image packs, so you can expand your world even more with them all! If you’ve been looking for some new backgrounds, or have just been wanting to expand your Eberouge collection, make sure to check out Eberouge Background Image Pack 4!
