Give your maps and cutscenes the right vibes with the Fantasy Wonderland RPG Music pack! 10 BGM tracks offer up something spooky, something quirky, and something dangerous with their synth instruments and catchy melodies. Use this pack’s three versions of ‘Serenade’ to quickly remind your players of an overarching theme to the quests, with the upbeat piano version playing the first time they learn of the quest, then changing to the spooky version with jingling chimes repeats the melody when your heroes discover the truth behind the quest. When they’ve finally finished, give them their hard-earned rewards while the full version of ‘Serenade’ plays with a bunch of strings, horns, and drums all building to a dramatic end. Fill a lonely cathedral with the haunted organ tunes of ‘Requiem for the Restless’ or use the organ in ‘Stained Glass Shadows’ to add a sense of unease to a quiet village your heroes just reached.

Get your players’ toes tapping with the upbeat electric guitars and piano of ‘Ghostly Giggles’ while they’re exploring dungeons or mysterious basements, and have them battle phantasmical foes while electric guitars rip in the background thanks to ‘Midnight Mass Murmurs’. Each track comes in M4a and looping Ogg file formats, so you can add them to your current RPG Maker project or use them in your favorite engine! Pick up the Fantasy Wonderland RPG Music pack and set the mood with songs with repeated melodies or tunes with underlying sinister tones in an otherwise peace-looking village!

Turn your hero into a samurai, a cyborg, a space ranger, or even a vampire prince with the Hero Character Generator for MZ pack! Gee-kun-soft is back with another excellent MZ-style generator part pack for your male characters, with 57 pieces to dress your heroes for success! 3 AccA, 9 AccB, 2 Beard, 2 Cloak, 20 Clothing, 5 Eyes, 1 Facial Mark, 2 Glasses, 1 Mouth, 1 Wing, 5 Front Hair, and 5 Rear Hair parts are perfect for making all of your male party members and important NPCs memorable compared to the normal citizens in your game. Give your serious soldier party member a short and low maintenance haircut while your brash barbarian has wild long hair barely contained in a ponytail, or show how a character is changing by switching his long flowing hairstyle into a short, loose style with bangs after he makes an important decision. Dress your agility-based fighters in lightweight cloth outfits so they can zip around the battlefield while your samurai are decked out in powerful armor and a gilded helmet to draw the enemy’s attention. Give your game a sci-fi flair with some military uniforms for your hero that he can swap out for strength-enhancing cybernetic armor, and make sure your fantasy hero is properly dressed in a flashy suit when he’s getting knighted by a king!

Don’t forget the little things to take your hero’s design to the next level! Give him a mouth with a fang sticking out to remind your players that he’s not completely human, or add a scar across his face after he loses a fight to his best friend after he’s revealed to be working with the villain the whole time! Let him grow his hair out or grow a beard while time passes in the game, or give your players the choice to switch up his looks depending on what outfits they’ve unlocked. If you’ve been wanting some new looks for your male party members in your fantasy or sci-fi games, pick up the Hero Character Generator for MZ pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3364420/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Legendary_Palaces__Yeti_Tileset/

Build an icy castle hidden deep in the wild frozen mountains or a dungeon filled with hairy beasts with the KR Legendary Palaces - Yeti Tileset! Kokoro Reflections continues their Legendary Palace series with one ready to chill your heroes to the bone. Create hallways lined with deadly icicle pits, treasure rooms with slippery floors that can send your heroes careening into palace guards, and throne rooms where statues of all the previous yeti kings are carved into ice! This pack’s A1, A2, A4, A5, and B tiles all look cold to the touch with cool blues and whites making up almost every piece. Build a dungeon entrance out of craggy stone with gray, blue, and white ice debris pushed into the corners, and eventually have the stone make way for tiled blue walls and smooth white floors. Decorate with icicles that were carefully carved into pillars and statues of the castle’s fuzzy inhabitants, and place snowflake-shaped magic circles around the palace to make it easy to get from one hallway to another! When your heroes finally make their way to the throne room, take a moment for them to stare in awe at the iced dias and throne before the boss battle begins.

This pack also includes character sprites for glowing ice gems and frozen treasure chests. Help your heroes navigate maze-like hallways by having the wall-mounted diamond-cut gems glow stronger when they’re on the right path, or light up darker parts of the castle with the different sizes depending on how far into the castle your heroes are. And don’t forget to reward exploration with pointed treasure chests carved from hunks of ice that you can tuck away in all sorts of castle corners and behind challenging puzzles or battles! If you’ve been wanting to add a unique take to your ice dungeons or want a good reason to add some yetis to your game, check out the KR Legendary Palaces - Yeti Tileset!

New DLC: KR Idyllic Village Tileset for RPGs, Omega Modern Alien Planets

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3364400/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Idyllic_Village_Tileset/

Build a peaceful home for your heroes to return to with the KR Idyllic Village Tileset! Kokoro Reflections has crafted another MV/MZ-sized tileset to help you make distinct towns in your game, this time focusing on dark woods and white plaster walls to let you build a quaint village nestled in the mountains far from the hustle and bustle of the kingdom’s cities. Have your hero grow up in a cozy cottage, visit quiet manors surrounded by flowering hedges and lovingly tended gardens, and find the retired swordmaster who lives near the local waterfall by climbing hundreds of stone stairs from the town square with this pack!

A1, A2, A3, and A4 tiles along with 2 B sheets include grass, dirt, and cobblestone paths to lead your heroes from other busy parts of your world to a calm village filled with cottages built from timber and stone. Let them explore paths between pine trees and cross stone bridges over streams, and visit the village square where wooden carts and crates wait to be delivered to their destinations. Use this pack’s modular signs to make it easy for your heroes to find the inn, where they can eat a hearty meal cooked on an old-fashioned metal stove and then fall asleep in wooden beds topped with patchwork quilts. Build the exact house exteriors you want with a variety of diagonal walls, porches, and roof pieces, so that you don’t have to worry about a town filled with copycat buildings. Pick up the KR Idyllic Village Tileset and build new towns and villages for your heroes to find far from dangerous dungeons where they can finally relax in nature.

Send your players on a retro adventure among the stars with the Omega Modern Alien Planets pack! Finalbossblue is back with an addition to their Omega Modern series, offering up sci-fi tiles ready for any pixelated visit to the Moon, Mars, and even worlds on the other side of the universe! A1 tiles, 5 A5 sheets, 2 B sheets, and a starry parallax are ready to be mixed and matched to make exciting worlds for your hero to explore. Start your players on an easy mission to the Moon, where long stretches of grey dirt is broken up with craters and stones, and their rocket home stands next to satellite dishes and monitoring computers. Once they’ve succeeded then they’re ready for a real challenge, so sit them inside the round rocket while it blasts off towards a brand-new planet! Visit worlds where yellow sands and noxious green fluids reveal strange plants that offer brown tentacle branches that have powerful medicinal qualities, or spend time in a world where pink grasses cover the ground and the tree-like flora has white leaves!

This pack also includes 8 human characters and 8 aliens so your hero doesn’t feel like he’s alone on his adventure. Keep your astronauts safe in space with pressurized helmets when they’re meeting single-eyed alien envoys or running away from scruffy creatures that live near the planet’s poisonous waters. If you’ve been wanting to send your players on a fun rocket adventure or just want to add to your Omega Modern collection, pick up the Omega Modern Alien Planets pack!

New DLC: Summerwind Saga - Characters, Summerwind Saga - Magma & Frozen Caves

The Summerwind Saga expands! New Characters, New Magama and Frozen Caves Tiles!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3364310/RPG_Maker_MZ__Summerwind_Saga__Characters/

Fill your farming game with active NPCs thanks to the Summerwind Saga - Characters pack! Elv Games is here with another addition to their Summerwind Saga series, this time offering up a ton of character sprites with matching behaviors so you can give everyone in your game world’s activities. Have armored knights protect townsfolk by cutting through bandits with swords, farmers prepare their fields by hoeing the ground, injured villagers flat on the ground after a surprise attack, and more with this pack!

126 character sheets are ready to fill your towns and cities with unique characters so that your players can easily find the specific NPC who gave them their latest side quest. Have a straw hat-wearing farmer reward your players whenever they bring him new seeds to plant, while the fighter with a brilliant red mohawk waits for them to turn in the loot from specific monsters. Want more NPCs in town to show that more than three people live there, but don’t want them to just stand around and repeat the same line when spoken to? Then use one of the 5 behavior animations to give those NPCs something to do! Have long-haired villagers swing their hoes down into the dirt and then water planted seeds with a metal watering can, or fill a fort with some of this pack’s 96 armored knights who practice their sword strikes against each other and chop down lumber with axes and break stones with pickaxes to help fix any walls damaged by monster attacks.

Each character sheet comes in two sizes so you can easily drop them into your MV/MZ or Ace game, or use them in your favorite engine. If your farming villages have been needing NPCs out in the fields caring for crops or you want to let your players choose their hero and hack-and-slash their way to success, check out the Summerwind Saga - Characters pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3364370/RPG_Maker_MZ__Summerwind_Saga__Magma__Frozen_Caves/

Send your heroes deep into hot and cold dungeons with the Summerwind Saga - Magma & Frozen Caves pack! Elv Games is back with another tileset to expand their Summerwind Saga series, with all the tiles you could need to make icy caverns and lava-filled volcanic interiors. Create cool caves where snowy floors slowly give way to ice and blue-tinged walls where spikes of jagged ice burst up from the floor, or have brown stone slowly ooze magma the deeper your heroes go in the dungeon!

A2, 5 A5, and 13 B sheets can help you build mazes of caves for your heroes to explore. Send them to the frozen North where icy caves are filled with angled walls and slippery floor puzzles, and reward them with powerful crystals that can strengthen your party and treasure chests full of goodies at the end maze. When they want to warm up after cold encounters, let them visit a cavern deep in the mountains where brightly colored crystals can be used to unlock new paths over dark holes and shattered pots surrounding raised platforms can lead to boxes and chests with useful items stored inside. And if your heroes are too greedy and release a lava monster when they take the crystals used to stop it, then switch from the brown stone tileset to red stone that radiates heat! Each tileset comes in two sizes so you can use them in MV/MZ or Ace without having to do any resizing yourself, or use them in your favorite engine. So if you’ve been needing more variation in your cave dungeons, or just want to add some cool mines for your players to explore, check out the Summerwind Saga - Magma & Frozen Caves!
