Sneak away from the hustle and bustle of cities and dungeons for a short break to practice magic with the KR Wizard's Hideout Tileset! Kokoro Reflections has put on their wizard hat for this tileset pack, offering up mystical crystals and furniture to turn any room into a wizard’s home. A2, A4, and B tiles cover stone cave walls and floors, interior walls made of gray stone and decorated with shimmering crystal pillars, and all sorts of bits and bobs to fill a room with an air of magic.

Send your heroes into a cave where patches of grasses and moss slowly fade away as they go deeper and deeper, until only mushrooms and small shards of crystals sprout out from the ground and a worn path appears to lead to an arch topped with a large green and blue gem. Shelves stuffed with potion bottles, scientific equipment modified with magic, and scattered candles greet your heroes as they slowly creep through the doorway, revealing towering crystals of green, blue, and purple surrounding an intricate dais and a small bedroom area shoved into the corner.

Use these MV/MZ-sized tiles in your favorite engine to build crystal-filled caves or small alchemical labs tucked away in the corner of a dungeon if your game doesn’t include magic. Pick up the KR Wizard's Hideout Tileset and create magical bases where your heroes can learn new skills and find useful items, or create an evil wizard’s hideout tucked under an unknowing town!

Create a comfortable village for your heroes to grow up in with the KR Everyday Town Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is back with another tileset pack, this time inspired by calm and peaceful villages full of thatch roofs and private plots of crops. Show your hero’s childhood home full of homemade toys and delicious food, visit farms where corn, eggplants, and turnips are grown and sold as stat-boosting treats, and search ruined villages for clues to who summoned the monsters that destroyed it!

A1, A2, A4, and B-E sheets offer up warm and worn tiles to make your towns and villages feel lived in. Instead of gleaming metal or bright tile roofs, top your plaster or woven walls with straw thatch and let dirt paths weave between the buildings to lead your players to the main points of the village: the cozy inn, the busy farm shop, and the town square surrounded with flowers and trees. Each sheet comes with a ruined version for even more ways to tell a story in your game. Perhaps the ruined house on the outskirts of the village belonged to a cruel wizard who disappeared one day, or maybe the whole town ends up destroyed if your players don’t feel the urge to race back from their current quest to save the townsfolk from a monster attack.

Also included are character sprites for flames, openable boxes, and doors so you can let your players explore home interiors and reward them for their searching. This pack’s tiles are sized for MV and MZ, but you can use them in your favorite engine! So if you’ve been wanting to add more homey villages to your game or want to have an overarching story where your hero’s hometown is destroyed and then rebuilt, check out the KR Everyday Town Tileset!

Give your game some more male eye candy with Another World Hero Generator 2 for MZ! Gee-kun-soft is back with another male generator part pack for MZ to help your heroes dress for success! 1 AccA, 3 AccB, 20 Clothing, 5 Eyes, 5 Front Hair, 5 Rear Hair, and 1 pair of Wings add up to 40 male generator parts ready to turn your imagined hero into a real character!

Let your disguised prince keep a small part of his royal status stay with him with a thin, simple, circlet atop his head and give the captain of the guard a military cap to mark his status. Or have certain equipment affect the character’s sprite by adding an adventurer’s hat held in place with a belt to help keep your heroes cool under the hot sun while the circlet lets them enter royal chambers. Choose slicked back, spiky, hair for your energetic and snarky rogue while your wizard keeps his hair shoulder-length and his bangs long that frame his face to show off that no one gets close enough to cut even a single hair off his head.

This pack’s 20 Clothing options are perfect for swordsmen, mages, militias, thieves, and even dancers! Start your hero off with the right clothes for an adventure thanks to comfortable clothes protected with leather arm guards and a cape wrapped warmly around his shoulders or a bright red scarf to make sure everyone knows who the hero of this story is. Fighters and rogues can enjoy more freedom of movement with stretchy pants and jackets without a shirt underneath, and wizards can dress in multiple layers of robes or distract their foes by wearing a loose cloth around their waist and a decorative golden pauldron on one shoulder. Pick up Another World Hero Generator 2 for MZ today and give your male characters some great outfits to wear while saving the world!

Thousands of icons and hundreds of music effects are here with todays two new releases!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2670240/RPG_Maker_MZ__Raven_Fantasy_Icons__7000/

Fill your game with hundreds of items, skills, and states each with their own unique icon with the Raven Fantasy Icons - 7000+ pack! Clockwork Raven has crafted hundreds and hundreds of icons that cover just about everything your RPG could need, from status effects to skills, weapons to crafting components, and even menu and location icons! If you’re tired of RPG Maker’s default iconset and want some new pixel art to enjoy, this is the pack for you.

With well over 7,000 icons to choose from, it’s easy to be overwhelmed with this iconset which is why it’s organized into sections to make it easier to find what you need. Want some seed icons for a gardening side quest? Check the farming and food section. Need a variety of weapons like daggers, scythes, bows, and hammers so your players can choose what weapons each hero wields? Then jump to the weapon section! Give your mages elemental skills to throw fireballs, icicles, stones, and lightning at enemies while your warriors can have skills that coat their weapons in poisons or buff certain parts of their bodies like arms and legs for powerful punches and kicks! Or make a combat-less crafting game where mining and foraging for ingredients and crafting a bunch of potions to sell is the main mechanic.

Many of the icons include color variations so you can collect all 8 colorful diamonds to save the world or have levels of defense for armor made of different metals. Or just choose the colors you prefer and stick with those for a cohesive look in your menus! This iconset comes in 4 different sizes (16x16, 24x24, 32x32, and 64x64) so you can easily use them in your favorite engine. So if you’ve been wanting some new pixel art icons or need a lot of options for your equipment choices pick up the Raven Fantasy Icons - 7000+ pack today!

Need some new MEs for your game, but don’t know what instrument would work best? Want to have a randomized selection of MEs for certain parts of your game so players don’t have to listen to the same jingle over and over? Then the Orchestral Essentials Music FX pack by Jonathan Shaw is for you! With a total of 700 MEs to choose from you can find the right sound for napping at an inn, failing a skill check, finishing a quest, stumbling across a hidden area, and more!

30 unique ME themes offer lots of options for different locations and situations. Let one of the light-hearted failure MEs play when your heroes guess the wrong answer to a child’s question, while a longer, lonelier, failure ME plays if they arrive too late to save a companion, or use different MEs if they’re in a forest dungeon or mountain region. Each ME theme comes in 11 instrument versions, including organs, music boxes, harps, and ensembles, so you can choose the right tone for each moment. Choose the twangy guitar version for energetic port cities and leave the piano or harpsichord versions for noble castle towns, or switch them up each time so your players are pleasantly surprised when they rest at any inn.

And if that wasn’t enough, each ME also comes in a ‘dry’ version without reverb and a ‘wet’ version with reverb so you can find the right sound for each scene. Each track comes in M4a, Ogg, MP3, and WAV file formats so you can add them right into your favorite engine. Want to find the perfect jingles to fit your story? Then update the MEs in your game with the Orchestral Essentials Music FX pack!

New DLC: Fighter Plane Pack Vol.1, Gods of Yore Music Pack

Two new packs for RPG Maker. Take to the skies with the Fighter Plane Pack, and go even higher with the Gods of Yore Music Pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2670210/RPG_Maker_MZ__Fighter_Plane_Pack_Vol1/

Live your Top Gun dreams and battle fighter jets and choppers with Fighter Plane Pack Vol.1! Gee-kun-soft is back with another set of military-inspired vehicles, this time offering up 10 aircrafts with sleek shapes and ready to launch missiles. With static battlers, character sprites, and midair backgrounds for each vehicle, you’re ready to literally take your games to the next level, thousands of feet above the ground!

Battle streamlined fighter jets, armored dual-prop helicopters, sci-fi drone jets, and more with this pack. Each battler comes with 2 versions, one for in the air and one for on the ground, so you can use them for more than just battles! Have a cutscene show off a fighter jet resting on its landing gear before a sudden attack forces your players to jump into action, or have the helicopter’s blades stop when a powerful attack leaves it inoperable in battle. Let your players control a jet’s character to fly around for on-map combat, or have them plan out a safe trip while controlling a transport plane full of supplies passed enemy lines.

This pack also includes bonus images with each vehicle placed in its background ready to use as a cutscene picture! Show one of the hi-tech jets blasting lasers before your heroes’ base camp is destroyed, or after a poor choice force your players to watch the burning wreckage of a helicopter hang in the air for a moment before it plummets back to Earth. If you’ve been wanting to add some midair combat to your modern game or you need even more flying vehicles for your military story, pick up Fighter Plane Pack Vol.1!

Get ready to lute and don’t trust a lyre with the Gods of Yore Music Pack! Joel Steudler is here with another batch of beautiful tracks, this time with 20 BGM inspired by both the myths and the music of ancient Greek, Roman, and Norse gods. Joel’s not alone this time, teaming up with skilled performer Nick Vest to bring the sounds of ancient lyres to life with actual instruments based on what could be found back then (and if you want to know more, the pack includes an information packet with details and pictures of each unique instrument). Battle the gods, explore hidden worlds, and take some time to visit the markets with this pack’s tracks!

This pack is split into battle, dungeon, theme, and town tracks, each with 5 songs to help each location stand out. Have hollow beats and plucked strings accompany your heroes as they travel down, down, down to Hades’ town with ‘Persephone’s Dread’, and march into a frozen maze of death with the chilly pipes and groaning strings of ‘Hel’s Domain’. Battle on open water with the horns and drums of ‘Neptune’s Trident’ cheering on your foes or let ‘Odin’s Hunt’ inspire your heroes with chanting voices and powerful drum beats. Rest well in towns with lyres strumming soothing tunes in ‘Frigga’s Hearth’ and learn what fate has in store for your heroes to the bass lyre and haunting pipes of ‘Charon’s Toll’.

Each track comes in M4a and Ogg file formats so you can easily add it to your current MV/MZ project, or use it in your favorite engine. Grab the Gods of Yore Music Pack today and give your dungeons and towns some incredible tunes fit for Mount Olympus and Asgard!
