So let's look at what we have for this week!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1554490/RPG_Maker_MZ__Shopping_Spree/

First up, we have the new Shopping Spree Tilesets! It's time to hit the mall for some retail therapy!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1554480/RPG_Maker_MZ__Animations_Select__Light/

And for our next pack, we have Animations Select - Light! Expanding the Animations Select series with even more Elemental Battle animations, this time centered on the Element of Light!

Our announces for the day aren't over yet. We have a special new release, direct from Gotcha Gotcha Games, the developers of RPG Maker! Let's take a look at the Odyssey of Fantasy: Background Collection!



If you play many RPG Maker games, you will quickly find out, most of them share the same default battlebacks as finding additional battlebacks or an alternate set that is high quality is difficult.



But look no further! Direct from Gotcha Gotcha Games, the RPG Maker Developers, comes The Odyssey of Fantasy: Background Collection!



This pack brings 31 different battleback1 and 2 parts - and that isn't even counting all the additional recolors and edits for different moods and times of day, which make the resources even more versatile! The overarching theme is classic fantasy and is reflected perfectly in each of the amazingly painted parts.



Mysterious forests - covering all seasons and even more esoteric choices like mushroom forests or elven ones, beautiful caves for all four elements, and all different areas of a castle from prison to throne room are waiting for you. The pack also comes with pre built battleback combinations for a quick use or for using them as backgrounds for cutscenes, credits or even as the base for a title screen.



But you may be thinking, with pieces like mushroom forests, where am I going to find the tiles to go with that... well that is no problem, Gotcha Gotcha Games has Gotcha Gotcha Covered, with 4 tileset sheets that match the MZ default resources that will fill out those environs.

You can purchase this official pack directly from the developers of RPG Maker now on Steam!
