A new tileset from Kokoro Reflections! New battlers from Tyler Warren!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3195890/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Art_and_History_Museum_Tileset/

Create an art gallery for your hero to take a partner for a lovely date or have your party run through dark halls and between towering displays with the KR Art and History Museum Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is back with another awesome modern tileset for MV/MZ, offering up a selection of displays ready to make natural history museums, art galleries, science museums, and more! A1, A2, and A4 autotiles can make neutral backdrops for your museums so that each room’s exhibits get all the attention they deserve. Set up information signs in front of glass display cases filled with bones, spaceship models, and ancient artifacts, or fill walls with detailed paintings and open floors with carefully carved statues! Even if your game doesn’t take place in a modern world, you’ll likely find useful weapons and outfits for your equipment shops and gilded art to add some extra bling to your castles and dungeons.

This pack also includes 8 character sheets to add doors and other decorations to your museums. Have the interior pool shoot water into the air at set times for a neat display and have your players enter new wings through tall glass doors. Hide bathrooms and back offices behind solid white doors, and travel to new floors in style with diagonal escalators! Set up turnstiles that will open only if your players buy tickets, or use the turnstiles to slow down monsters that are chasing your unlucky night security guard! If you want some gorgeous art to decorate castle walls, a museum for your hero to train their brain, or just some cool dinosaur skeletons, pick up the KR Art and History Museum Tileset!

Battle even more adorably awful monsters with the Tyler Warren RPG Battlers - 11th - Little Monsters and Robots 2 pack! Tyler Warren’s second addition to his Little Monster and Robots series is here with 40 more battler images so your heroes can face off against even more unique creatures in Tyler’s amazing colored pencil art style! Fight inky purple creatures that ooze out of shadows, technicolor bugs and evolving pink slime in forests and caves, robots that stalk sci-fi stations and are controlled by what may have once been a head in a jar, and more with this pack!

Each enemy comes in multiple sizes, so you could create a pack of small sky jellyfish with one large tentacled monster controlling the rest of them from the back lines or give your players a visual clue that a battle against a huge skeleton draped in blue robes is going to be harder than normal. Not only that, but each monster also comes in a filtered version for a smoother look to their design as well as pixel art versions in 9 different color palettes (included ones inspired by GameBoy, NES, and Time Fantasy) so you could have the same monsters in different digital worlds or upgrade the palette of your monsters as they get stronger and gain more skills as the game goes on!

This pack also includes faceset images for each battler, in various sizes to fit your favorite RPG Maker engine, so they can taunt your heroes during battles or give up important plot points after they’re defeated. Pick up the Tyler Warren RPG Battlers - 11th - Little Monsters and Robots 2 pack and send your heroes against waves of all new foes!

Two new tilesets to take you into the dark swamp, and even spookier graveyard!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3195870/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Peaceful_Rest_Graveyard_Tileset/

Share a somber farewell with a beloved party member or hunt ghouls in the dead of night with the KR Peaceful Rest Graveyard Tileset! Kokoro Reflections has a new MV/MZ-sized tileset designed to help you create exterior maps filled with tombstones and crypts. Create an intimate gathering for family to say goodbye to your hero before she suddenly revives in the coffin, send your party to explore a cursed cemetery where the ponds are filled with blood, restore a small family plot long forgotten in the center of a rosebush hedge maze, and more with this pack!

A1, A2, and A4 tiles along with 3 B sheets can build all sorts of cozy or spooky cemeteries. Create stone paths weaving between tall headstones and patches of bright yellow flowers, or keep things simple with dirt paths that lead to new graves where the shovels are still next to them and a small bouquet of flowers show that it has a daily visitor. Keep unwanted troublemakers out of the grounds with wrought iron fences, and set up folding chairs under a black canopy for families to gather when saying goodbye. Ruined versions of the tombstones, fences, and flowers can help show just how long it has been since the last person had visited a grave, or destroy a village’s graveyard if the heroes don’t defeat a necromancer in time! So if your game needs a creepy cemetery or you want a calm area where your heroes can remind themselves why they fight, pick up the KR Peaceful Rest Graveyard Tileset!

Send your heroes deep into bogs where solid ground meanders through noxious water and ancient castle walls collapse into nearby sludge with the Winlu Fantasy Tileset - Swamp pack! Winlu is back with another tileset for your MV/MZ games, this time filled with all the greens and browns your swampland and marshes could need. A1, A2, and A5 tiles along with 5 B sheets (4 for exteriors and 1 for interiors) are filled with creepy twisted trees and muddy autotiles to create semi-safe paths between pools of brown, blue, green, or purple water so you can show the area becoming more deadly as your heroes journey deeper into the swamp. Have your heroes follow wooden pathways over lilypad-filled waters and mushrooms growing out of sticky mud until they reach the wooden huts that make up a swamp hag village. Step inside a wooden house grown straight from the ground and gather the bowls of important ingredients all while trying to avoid becoming dinner!

This pack also includes 12 character sheets filled with decorations to help add even more life to your swamps! Have tattered and stained banners flutter in the breeze while lanterns hung from wooden posts offer an eerie green light to help your heroes stay on the path. Block off the witch’s hut with a gate formed of magically grown branches that can only be opened by activating skulls with clattering jaws hidden around the swamp, and sink a wooden treasure chest into the murky waters while bubbles of unknown gasses rise from below and burst. Pick up the Winlu Fantasy Tileset - Swamp pack and send your heroes on a wild adventure to save a cursed princess or just add a new gorgeous area for your players to explore!
