RPG Maker MZ News

It's the season to be spooky, so this release day we have the scariest thing of all: A high school girl and a magic shop! Wait, that isn't scary... Oh well, enjoy the latest packs!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1784520/RPG_Maker_MZ__Magic_Shop_Animated_Interior_Pack/

Is your game’s magic shop lacking a convincing mystical appearance? Is your fortune teller stuck staring into an empty crystal ball? Do you just want to add a sleeping black cat to your hero’s home? If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’, then you need to check out the MAGIC SHOP Animated Interior Pack! Cattle Call Inc. has crafted a pack full of animated objects and sprites to help take your wizard’s house from simple to spellbinding!

This pack’s 8 sprite sheets include a few mystical looking people along with all sorts of animated objects, from magical circles to a crumbling statue to portals to other worlds, that can help bring life to your magical shops and mystical locations. Give your potion maker’s store a cauldron full of bubbling green liquid as well as glass alchemy equipment and sparkling potions, or fill their cauldron overflowing thick purple goo and leave empty potions bottles everywhere to let your player know the owner is in need of help. Give your fortune teller more options to look into the future than just looking into a crystal ball by using tarot cards or a dowsing pendulum at the table instead. And keep your magic shops clean with a magic broom that can sweep all by itself!

This pack also includes a few floor and wall autotiles to help make your magic shops look just right. Give your fortune teller’s shop a carpet decorated with an edge of stars and plush blue curtains covering the walls, or use clean white walls with golden stars on its crown molding to let a magician show off their fancy office.

These tiles are sized for MV and MZ, ready to be added to your games and used right away! So if you’ve been wanting some more magical decorative sprites, pick up the MAGIC SHOP Animated Interior Pack!

Giving your characters more depth can be quite difficult, especially if you can't hire voice actors to record everything you need. Luckily, the Japanese School Girls Vol.4 Pack is ready to equip you with 244 individual voice Sound Effects, which you can use to show the emotions of one of your heroines.

Covering all kinds of different categories such as greetings, breathing snippets, shock and many others, there is a wide range of emotions and phrases your character can express with the sounds in this pack. And if you don't know Japanese, there is a huge PDF inside, giving you not only the written version of the phrases, but also their English translations so you can easily learn what they are saying.

This makes it easy to pick the perfect lines for every possible situation, from confessing love to saying goodbye. The additional non-verbal sounds are even more versatile and allow you to add flavor to situations even when there is no perfect phrase ready to use.

The high quality recording and professional voice acting make this pack a must have if you want to add some voice snippets to your project!

The Spooky Month has begun, and it is time for to take a path through a creepy wood... but what music should we use? And what about the paths, what do we use there? Well this release week has you covered for both!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1778250/RPG_Maker_MZ__Cursed_Kingdoms__Twisted_Forest_Music_Pack/

Get ready to delve deep into the darkness with the Cursed Kingdoms Twisted Forest Music Pack! Joel Steudler’s newest pack is perfect for dark fantasy and dangerous dungeon exploring. Metal-inspired instruments combine with unsettling beats to create a spooky soundtrack.

20 BGMs are ready to turn your scenes into dangerous situations. Metal guitars turn simple battles into pulse-pounding fights for your heroes’ lives, and heavy drums can turn every encounter into cause for concern. Outside of battles, eerie strings and unsettling beats make forests and caves feel even more oppressive. Give your players a slight break from fear to catch their breath with simple flutes and guitars playing a slower, sad tune. Or dash their hope for help with melancholy instruments when they reach a long-abandoned campsite.

A few songs forgo metal guitars to focus more on medieval-sounding strings and flutes, for scenes in ancient towns or when wandering overworld maps. So even if your game doesn’t call for dramatic metal tunes there’s still a chance the perfect song is in here waiting for you!

The pack’s 15 MEs also help bring the feelings of dread to your game’s forefront. Spooky flutes and screeching string stings can turn a plain empty home into a haunted house for your players. Or play one of the eerie MEs when your players approach certain doors to make them think twice before opening it. Battle MEs aren’t safe either, with heavy metal guitars taking over the victory and defeat tunes.

So if your game has been needing a suitably dark soundtrack, check out the Cursed Kingdoms Twisted Forest Music Pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1648410/RPG_Maker_MZ__Winding_Road_and_Grassland_Tileset/

Your heroes walk through the town, a forest, or just through some nice gardens. But something is missing. What path will they take? While the default tiles can make it easy to make straight paths with sharp right angles, if there is one thing to learn from our many adventures, is that the straight path is rarely available to us!

Enter the Winding Road and Grassland Tileset! Three different path types, sand, dirt, and rock, can all curve through your maps to create maps that feel more alive and less blocky, and all three have variations for dry, normal, or wet weather.

That covers the Winding Road part, but that isn't all. What about that "and Grassland" part. This set comes with a whole new set of ground tiles. New Grass, new base sand, dirt, and rock styles to match your paths! Plus a new tall grass style with 8 variations! A light and dark version of 4 looks are available: regular tall grass, two versions with flowers (red and blue), and a feather reed style grass.

But that still isn't all: This pack also includes an entirely new water and waterfall style to round the whole thing out. And all of these pieces are designed to be compatible with the MZ default graphics, so you can plug them right in to your existing game!

The path is before your players, make sure it looks good: pick up the Winding Road and Grassland Tileset today!

Release day is here again! And what has it brought: A new tileset for building a gritty night time city, plus the second RE-D Music Pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1767100/RPG_Maker_MZ__Modern__Midnight_City/

Have you been wanting to build a gritty city for your MV/MZ game but haven’t found the right tiles yet? Kauzz is back with Modern+ Midnight City, another incredible pack of tiles to help you build your modern cities out of dark asphalt and brick walls.

Give your urban areas the right look with concrete sidewalks and neon lights in store windows. Have your heroes save some time on their commute to work by cutting through alleyways that are full of trash and dumpsters leaning on the walls, or give them a chance to relax by playing basketball in the small park tucked between buildings. If your heroes are just passing through the city, make sure they stop at the local gas station to fill up their tank and grab some snacks. And if you need some inspiration when it comes to buildings? Then make the most of the pack’s 6 pre-built buildings, giving you easy access to places like a fast food restaurant, a convenience store, and multi-shop buildings!

Don’t forget to give your city apartments some proper interiors with this pack’s interior A4 and 2 B sheets. Create a gorgeous modern apartment for your characters that include all the necessities of life: computers, flatscreen tvs, game consoles, and coffee makers! If that doesn’t quite cut it for you, then make sure to decorate with the pack’s rugs, bookshelves, kitchen cabinets, and toiletries.

This pack also includes sprites for doors, cars, and even large trucks, so you can make sure that your city streets are busy! And don’t worry if you’re an Ace user, as this pack has an Ace version with 32x32-sized tiles. So you can make modern cities in your favorite engine! If you’ve been waiting for some gritty city tiles, or have just been waiting for the next Modern+ pack, make sure to check out Modern+ Midnight City today!

It’s time to update some of your game’s emotional scenes with RE-D MUSIC PACK 2! Gee Kun Soft’s latest pack contains 10 new tracks to help draw your players even more into your world’s story with tender and touching melodies.

Have your hero confess his love to his best friend while violins and a piano play softly in the background, and use powerful strings and a beautiful harp to bring tears of joy to your players’ eyes when your hero and his best friend are reunited after defeating the final boss. Choose a piano-focused tune when your heroes return to their hometown, weary but glad to finally be back with their families, or when they share whispered secrets in the middle of a quiet night. One of the pack’s faster paced songs features flutes and acoustic guitars that would make for a wonderful welcome to a cheery port or bustling town. Or use an elegant but slow tune to introduce the kingdom’s palace, where tragedy has struck and only your heroes can help.

This pack includes multiple formats for each track, making it simple to use in your favorite engine. If your game has been calling out for some new BGM, then pick up RE-D MUSIC PACK 2!

It's another beautiful release day... but who wants to go outside? This week, we have some awesome indoor modern tiles, and a cool retro console music perfect to score a old school style pixel art game!

The coolest modern city is nothing without some neat Interiors to explore, and today, Kokoro Reflections brings you a pack to make them real.

If you think about the types of maps you might want to have for your modern town, what comes to your mind? Maybe you think of cozy and clean homes with contemporary furniture, fully equipped bathrooms, and then over to the kitchen and living room, to the bedrooms. With this pack you got all of that: everything to fully set up the homes of your characters. And whether you use the office tiles to give them a home office or create their workplace elsewhere is up to you.

But of course life does not only take place in the office or at home, and with this amazing set there are a lot of locations to visit. Maybe your heroes need some groceries or to pick up something else. There are plenty of shelves with a huge range of different wares they can place in their shopping carts. After that, they might want to check out the fitness studio or treat themselves with a visit to the local beauty salon or hairdresser.

But they should watch out for sure, as there is also a small police station in town including bars they could end up behind. Better check out the arcade instead, and go out for a beer or dinner at a restaurant afterwards. There are so many things possible with this set, and your players will be as happy to explore them as you are!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1752310/RPG_Maker_MZ__Retro_Game_Console_Sound_BGM_Set/

Retro Games have a lot of charms, and when we hear those soundtracks they can hit us with nostalgic gaming memories. If you want to instill your game with that nostalgic feeling, you are going to need the right music, and the Retro Game Console Sound BGM Set delivers. Starting each of these tracks will take you right back to the time when pixel graphics were standard and having a handheld console that could display colors was a revolution.

With 18 looping tracks you are now ready to make your own old school game. Whether you are making a Pixelated RPG, an old fashioned jump’n’run, or just making some minigames for your characters play in an arcade, the tracks in this pack would fit right in. With 8 General Stage themes, you'll have the variety to make a full game leading up to the final epic showdown.

And then to make that showdown even more memorable, there are a 2 extra tense Final Stage themes, building up to another 2 bombastic Final Boss Themes. The remaining 6 tracks flesh things out with Openings, Endings, and Menu Select music. And if you want something special to play after clearing a stage, getting a game over, or selecting a level, you have an additional 5 MEs to choose from to give them a distinctive sound. If you are going retro, these tunes are a must have!
