New DLC: KR Quartz Cave Tileset, KR Wrath of the Volcano Tileset

Two new dungeon tilesets from Kokoro Reflections! Explore Quartz Caves or Volcanic terrain with these two new resource packs!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3903370/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Quartz_Cave_Tileset/

Explore deep caves filled with massive crystals thanks to the KR Quartz Cave Tileset! Kokoro Reflections has created an MV/MZ-sized tileset inspired by the incredible Naica Mine, with large stone stalactites and translucent white crystals piercing up through the floor. Send your heroes into a dungeon formed by water and heat and untouched by humans to find large gems that can be used in magical crafting, and add more gorgeous crystals to monster-filled dungeons!

A1, A2, A4, and 3 B sheets include all the stone and quartz tiles you could want to build maze-like mines and massive crystal-filled caverns. Create a seemingly normal cave entrance with dirt floors and brown stone walls, but hint at something special further in with small bunches of crystals poking out of the floor. As your heroes explore deeper, have the floor shift from packed dirt to sandy floors where sand flows like a waterfall from the ceiling and reveal spots of crystals in the walls. Lead them down unassuming tunnels by embedding trails of glowing crystals in the floor, and stud the larger caves with crystal bunches that are three times taller than your heroes. Let nature form pathways by having angled stone walls and piles of rocks force your heroes in specific directions, or make mazes of crystals where your heroes need to walk behind and between the crystal pillars to find their way out of the cave. Pick up the KR Quartz Cave Tileset and add a new type of cave for your heroes to conquer!

Send your heroes deep into the wilderness where volcanic magic twists lava into incredible forms with the KR Wrath of the Volcano Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with a new MV/MZ-sized tileset that is filled with flowing lava, glowing crystals, and scorched stones ready to help you create dangerous dungeons where one wrong step could leave your heroes missing a foot! A1, A2, A4, and 3 B sheets offer a variety of grass and dirt floors for your heroes to safely walk on while wandering between rivers of lava and glowing holes in the ground that almost certainly lead to lava lakes. Let them explore less lava-filled areas where burnt tree trunks are one of the only signs that normal plants used to grow there and old wooden bridges connect cliffs that are studded with massive boulders. Warn your players that there’s something mystical about the area with glowing rings of mushrooms and twisting plants rise out of the ground, and force hard decisions by having thin lines of lava criss-cross shortcuts so your players have to choose whether to be injured for a quick trip to next section or take their time with the longer, safer path.

13 character sprites for lava flows and glowing orbs give you even more ways to make your maps more dangerous! Have fountains of lava burst out of the ground so your players need to plan their movement carefully, or use large springs of lava flowing down cliffs as roadblocks until your players find a way to plug them to move deeper into the dungeon. And that’s not even the end of this pack! Each tileset also comes in a blue version so you can double the fun. Use the blue lava to show that the deadly heat has been decreased, or make it a fully magical volcano where mana is so dense that it can physically harm your heroes! Pick up the KR Wrath of the Volcano Tileset and challenge your heroes with maps that are too hot to touch!

New DLC: KR Dwarf Kingdom Tileset, KR Gothic Castle Tileset

Two new tilesets from Kokoro Reflections! Build your Dwarven Kingdom and Gothic Castles!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3881670/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Dwarf_Kingdom_Tileset/

Build an underground city filled with bearded blacksmiths and glittering gemstones with the KR Dwarf Kingdom Tileset! Kokoro Reflections has crafted a set of MV/MZ-sized tiles to help you create stone towns, cozy rooms, and sprawling tunnels all carved out of the center of mountains or deep underground. 2 A1 sheets, A2, A3, A4, A5, and 4 B sheets are full of stone, metal, and wooden tiles that can build rich dwarven mansions, dirt-filled mines, giant barrels that act as tiny bedrooms, and more! Make a small mountainside village with blue tile roofs and metal pipes connecting every building that acts as the entrance to a monster-filled cavern, or build a city inside a volcano with lava pooling around the edges and massive metal chains hooked onto the edges of the buildings to make sure they don’t fall into the fiery lake. Create unique inns where every room is built in an oversized wooden barrel, or keep things simple with mine tracks that weave between stalagmites and lead to colorful jewels stuck into jagged stone walls.

This pack also includes 16 character images for objects to add extra business to your mines! Light tunnels with flickering flames and have mine carts rolling around the tracks filled with jewels to show that the mine is still active even with monsters roaming around. Power the underground village with large wooden waterwheels and gears spinning on the sides of buildings, and reward your players for searching alleys with a barrel-shaped treasure chest. Sample maps for MV and MZ are also included to help inspire you and figure out the tileset passability, just in case you’re not sure what will work best. If your game includes dwarven cities or you want to build some dark caves that reveal an ancient civilization, pick up the KR Dwarf Kingdom Tileset!

Dare your players to spend the night in a mansion that definitely looks haunted with the KR Gothic Castle Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is back with a MV/MZ-sized tileset to let you create interior and exterior maps for a dark castle. Have your heroes approach the large entrance through a garden of small flowers and bramble hedges, and set your players on edge with looming dark spires stabbing up into the sky and large stained glass windows that don’t let nearly as much light through as you would expect. Visit abandoned chapels, courtyards with broken fountains, kitchens with half-drunk glasses of red wine (it is wine, right?) sitting on the otherwise empty counters, bedrooms with ornate untouched beds and worn coffins tucked in the corners, and more with this pack!

A1, A2, A4, A5, and 4 B sheets are filled with desaturated tiles perfect for creating creepy locations. Trap your heroes in the castle until their mission is completed with wrought-iron fences surrounding the buildings, and decorate stone walls with carved inlays and arches in between ornate windows. Have your heroes search through libraries with towering bookshelves and paintings hanging on wallpapered walls in the hopes of finding a clue on who used to live there, or have them hunt down sneaky vampires by finding staircases into stone basements that were hidden under metal stoves or in the large fireplace that unlocked when the nearby organ plays a certain melody. This pack also includes 10 character images of doors and water fountains to help your players get around the mansion and to add some subtle movement to the garden maps. Pick up the KR Gothic Castle Tileset and add a spooky haunted house sidequest to your game!

A dragon knight, harpy, a male priest, and even satan can add unique combat styles for your battles, or cause trouble when they launch a surprise attack on your party!

Fill your wizard’s towers and magical dungeons with even more doodads and glowing objects thanks to the KR Wizard Widgets Animations Pack 2! Kokoro Reflections continues their character sprite packs with another set of animations to take your magic laboratories and mystical puzzles to the next level. 11 new objects are ready to fill your maps with impressive displays of magic, from floating swords to massive gilded doors into another realm!

Use this pack’s tall tower of candles to light up dark corners, or show off the local wizard’s skills by using fairy lanterns made from large glowing crystals to make sure the city’s streets are always bright. Let your heroes talk to distant groups via large translucent orbs, or have them visit those groups by using a massive Faberge egg doorway that lets them instantly teleport to its connected twin. Glowing platforms and tables can act as obvious points of interest in mazes, or use them as healing spots in a town’s main hall.

Each object comes in multiple colors, so that every area can look different. Color code dungeons so that your players have a good idea of what type of enemies will appear, or place the different colored obelisks around your world map that will unlock new more dangerous areas if your players activate them. Need some new ways to reward your heroes? Then throw down some pod sprites that start as a ball and expand upwards as magic crystals are fed into it, eventually glowing to reveal a rare item! Place large glowing glass jars around the dungeon that offer your players a choice: leave the jar alone so they continue to light up the area or take the useful item inside the jar knowing that that will plunge the area into darkness. If your mages need more cool objects to decorate their homes or your guilds need some impressive ways to communicate, check out the KR Wizard Widgets Animations Pack 2!
