Build an opulent city perfect for mysteries, parties, and crimes with the KR Art Deco Exteriors Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is at it again with an MV/MZ tileset that perfectly matches their previous interior set. Now you can create city streets where your heroes can go window shopping, meet up in front of the gilded theater for a date, visit their red-roofed family home, and more! A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 tiles along with 4 B sheets cover all the autotiles and decorations your city needs to stand out. Create black asphalt streets and white tiled sidewalks detailed with crimson and gold diamond patterns to tie them to the towering buildings in matching tones. Give certain shops massive glass windows that reveal all the meats, baked goods, or lovely outfits inside, or keep things more mysterious with interiors that are either too dark or too bright to easily see through. Angled gilded designs can add an extra layer of fanciness to any building to make sure your players’ eyes are drawn to it, and bright lanterns can make sure the streets are lit even in the middle of the night!

This pack also includes 12 character sprites for 1920s-inspired cars so your heroes can travel the city in style! Pick a hardtop or convertible in red, gold, white, or black and turn your fast travel loading screen into a fun driving minigame, or just let the different cars drive around the streets to make sure your players pay attention when trying to cross. And don’t forget to give each of your buildings one of the 5 bright door sprites so your heroes can easily enter anywhere and everywhere! Give your 1920s game some gorgeous city scenes or make sure your players know that they’re in the rich part of town with the KR Art Deco Exteriors Tileset!

Create tiered apartment buildings with lots of windows where your hero resides, and decorate their home with filled shelves, comfy furniture and decorative rugs! Make sure your heroes and NPCs have all the necessities they need in their home with toilets and tubs for their bathrooms, stoves and sinks for their kitchens, couches and tvs for their living rooms, and beds and vanities for your bedrooms. And don’t forget to give them some pretty pictures on their walls and potted plants to enjoy some of nature from the comfort of their home!

New DLC: KR Aztec Jungle Tileset, Soldier Character Pack 3

2 New Graphics packs for RPG Maker! Visit a whole new culture with the KR Aztec Jungle Tileset! Tell your scifi military adventures with the new Soldier Character Pack 3!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3308460/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Aztec_Jungle_Tileset/

Forget vaguely European villages and start your players in a lush jungle with the KR Aztec Jungle pack! Kokoro Reflections is back with another set of MV/MZ tiles to help you map dense wilderness where hidden temples hold powerful relics and riverside towns offer delicious fruits and handcrafted equipment! A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 tiles are filled with wall and floor autotiles to make sandy beaches that morph into dirt covered in tall grasses and piled dirt that forms natural walls. Or build a towering temple out of brown stone with interior walls carved with swirly patterns and painted bright red or teal, while the normal houses in the surrounding area keep to simpler stone, straw, and wood walls. Use the 4 B sheets to decorate both exteriors and interiors with palm trees, yucca, moss-covered rocks, and carved stone pillars, and build cozy homes with straw beds and stacks of journals from previous residents. Make an equipment shop where your heroes can pick up new cloth armor along with axes, swords, and shields, and highlight specific things on each map by layering light beam tiles over important details.

This pack also includes character sprites for 3 sizes of flames, side view wooden canoes and rafts for traveling across rivers, a carved wooden treasure chest, and a variety of farm plants so villagers can grow what they need! Give your players a break from adventuring in dungeons by setting up farm plots so they can grow peppers, corn, and fantastical fruits that can offer buffs in battle. If you’ve been wanting to create a tropical getaway for your heroes to visit or need more fitting tiles for your Aztec-inspired story, pick up the KR Aztec Jungle pack!

Create the sci-fi super soldier game you’ve been dreaming of with the Soldier Character Pack 3! Gee-kun-soft is back with another set of 16 characters to fill your world with all-new party members, villains, and NPCs. Each character comes with a MZ-style sprite, faceset with 8 emotions, SV battler, front view enemy images, and waist-up bust images, so they’re ready for anything, no matter if you want them fighting your heroes, joining the squad, or just hanging out and gossiping in the mess hall! Form a powerful squad with a youthful woman with twin drill ponytails, a royal prince with long blue locks, and a cybernetically-enhanced man with mysterious white hair, and have them battle a scythe-wielding android, a smoking, scruffy, ex-unit leader, and a grinning pink-haired woman who emits sonic waves to take control of unlucky foes.

10 of the soldiers also have variations for their sprites and images to include helmets so you can make sure they’re all properly equipped to battle titanic space monsters! Let your players know visually when an area’s air isn’t safe to breathe by switching their chipper short-haired fighter to her helmeted sprite, or leave it to your players to keep their party safe by freely equipping their helmets. This pack also includes high-resolution images of each character, so you can have a full body image in your menus or resize them to perfectly fit your game window. Have the snarling cyborg soldier zoom towards the player by having his bonus image quickly go from small to full size before starting a boss fight, or let your players look for clues on the cold ice skater soldier’s image to see if she could have killed a companion. Pick up the Soldier Character Pack 3 and give your sci-fi worlds some space rangers ready to stop evil!
