New DLC: KR Legendary Palace - Dragon Tileset, RPG Character Pack 9

New Heroines! New Dragon Palace Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2448060/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Legendary_Palaces__Dragon_Tileset/

Explore scale-lined hallways and throne rooms filled with monuments to the strongest creature of all with the KR Legendary Palace - Dragon Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with another set of tiles ready for use in MV and MZ, this time focusing on dark grays and greens fit for an evil dragon lord. Send your players through maze-like hallways where one wrong step could send them falling into a spike pit, and let them search for gold hidden under large stone statues of dragons. This pack’s wall and ground autotiles offer simple concrete, detailed tiles, and even scales so you can make the perfect dragon-inspired dungeon. Maybe the palace was made by a dragon-worshiping cult that gathered dragon scales to line every surface, or the palace itself is located on an enormous dragon! Stone arches and sculpted wings can turn any normal map into a dragon fanatic’s dream room, and line important hallways with dragon statues and lanterns carved from green gemstones.

This pack also includes animated yellow-green and white flames to light the way and a small black treasure chest that could be tucked in corners of the dungeon to reward exploration. Create puzzles where your players need to change the color of flames to unlock doors or activate magic circles, or use the different sized flames as subtle hints about which rooms are more important or more dangerous while your players search for the throne room. Create a dangerous castle for your dragons to call home with the KR Legendary Palace - Dragon Tileset!

Add some new female fighters to your party’s roster with the RPG Character Pack 9! Gee-kun-soft’s latest character pack is here with 16 new female characters who are ready to rumble! Add a powerful redheaded wizard to your party to help your sword-wielding main character defeat new enemies, or let your players choose to play as a spunky twin-tailed adventurer when they start the game! Form a team with a lavender-haired fox girl fighter, a young warrior elf who wields a huge ax, and a dress-wearing mage to take on the demon lord, and let the pack’s other warriors and wizards act as NPCs who can teach your players new skills.

Each character comes with a MZ-style sprite and sv battler that are ready for battle, along with downed sprites so you can portray them as sleeping or wounded after a surprise attack. 8 different emotions fill their facesets so you can show them smiling when given a gift or upset after an especially challenging fight. And not only that, but each emotion is also shown on 8 bust images just in case your game doesn’t use smaller face images. But what if your game uses front-view enemies for battles and you want your players to battle the pink-haired archer after she reveals that she’s working for the demon lord? Don’t worry, since each character has 13 enemy images that include different emotions and recolors!

This pack also includes bonus high-res, full body art of each character so you can resize them to perfectly fit your game or appear in a codex so your players can read up on any characters that they’re interested in. If you’ve been searching for some interesting art to match your warrior or spellcaster characters or want to add memorable NPCs, check out the RPG Character Pack 9 today!

Send your players underground to find rare gems with the Time Elements - Caves and Dungeons pack! Finalbossblue is back with another piece of the Time Elements series, this time offering up stone and earth walls that are perfect for any underground location. Let your players step into shallow caves where grass and roots fade into dirt and stones the deeper they go and have them stop to rest at a campfire next to an underground river, or let them follow wooden supports and mine tracks through a confusing maze of caves until they reach caverns filled with gold nuggets and shining crystals.

Make sure your players can see with some light character sheets with lanterns or flames that can be placed strategically around the caves, and have minecarts race along tracks in the mines that are still active. Or add some extra danger to a dungeon with trapdoors, spinning saw blades, and spikes from the floor! Just make sure to use some of the included levers so your players can turn those dangers off or open new paths so they can fully explore the area. And as if all that wasn’t enough, this pack also includes some mining animations set in 2 animation sheets! Give your players some exciting visuals when they mine with gemstones bursting out of the rocks, or have some fun with your battles by creating a skill where jewels are thrown at the enemies to distract them with shinies! Dive down deep into the earth and uncover abandoned mines and forgotten ruins with the Time Elements - Caves and Dungeons pack!

Follow hanging lanterns and signposts through a forest path lined with bushes and scruffy tufts of drying weeds to farmlands surrounded by low stone walls and guarded by pumpkin-headed scarecrows all the way to the town. Comfy beds and busy kitchens lie within brick inns topped with colorful tiles ready for your heroes to rest and recover, or visit the town square where villagers gather to gossip near the town’s well and stone statues of the goddesses in hopes of finding some side quests or important clues.

Don’t forget to add some extra details with 10 included character sheets! Place treasure chests around the town and in houses to reward your players for exploring, and let them open wooden doors that are different depending on who lives inside. Give your game some farming features with 8 plants like tomatoes, carrots, and pumpkins that your players can grow to sell or eat, each with 4 stages of growth. Or use the books with turning pages to show when your heroes are studying and gaining intelligence points instead of just fading out the screen. This pack’s resources come in three sizes so you can easily add them to your favorite engine. If you’ve been needing some tiles to make a relaxed village or have been wanting a new pixel art style to play with, pick up the Time Elements - Hometown Tileset today!

The plant and rock sheets come in two variations, a bright version and a more muted blue version, so that you can choose the best option for your city.
