Fill your game with hundreds of items, skills, and states each with their own unique icon with the Raven Fantasy Icons - 7000+ pack! Clockwork Raven has crafted hundreds and hundreds of icons that cover just about everything your RPG could need, from status effects to skills, weapons to crafting components, and even menu and location icons! If you’re tired of RPG Maker’s default iconset and want some new pixel art to enjoy, this is the pack for you.

With well over 7,000 icons to choose from, it’s easy to be overwhelmed with this iconset which is why it’s organized into sections to make it easier to find what you need. Want some seed icons for a gardening side quest? Check the farming and food section. Need a variety of weapons like daggers, scythes, bows, and hammers so your players can choose what weapons each hero wields? Then jump to the weapon section! Give your mages elemental skills to throw fireballs, icicles, stones, and lightning at enemies while your warriors can have skills that coat their weapons in poisons or buff certain parts of their bodies like arms and legs for powerful punches and kicks! Or make a combat-less crafting game where mining and foraging for ingredients and crafting a bunch of potions to sell is the main mechanic.

Many of the icons include color variations so you can collect all 8 colorful diamonds to save the world or have levels of defense for armor made of different metals. Or just choose the colors you prefer and stick with those for a cohesive look in your menus! This iconset comes in 4 different sizes (16x16, 24x24, 32x32, and 64x64) so you can easily use them in your favorite engine. So if you’ve been wanting some new pixel art icons or need a lot of options for your equipment choices pick up the Raven Fantasy Icons - 7000+ pack today!

Need some new MEs for your game, but don’t know what instrument would work best? Want to have a randomized selection of MEs for certain parts of your game so players don’t have to listen to the same jingle over and over? Then the Orchestral Essentials Music FX pack by Jonathan Shaw is for you! With a total of 700 MEs to choose from you can find the right sound for napping at an inn, failing a skill check, finishing a quest, stumbling across a hidden area, and more!

30 unique ME themes offer lots of options for different locations and situations. Let one of the light-hearted failure MEs play when your heroes guess the wrong answer to a child’s question, while a longer, lonelier, failure ME plays if they arrive too late to save a companion, or use different MEs if they’re in a forest dungeon or mountain region. Each ME theme comes in 11 instrument versions, including organs, music boxes, harps, and ensembles, so you can choose the right tone for each moment. Choose the twangy guitar version for energetic port cities and leave the piano or harpsichord versions for noble castle towns, or switch them up each time so your players are pleasantly surprised when they rest at any inn.

And if that wasn’t enough, each ME also comes in a ‘dry’ version without reverb and a ‘wet’ version with reverb so you can find the right sound for each scene. Each track comes in M4a, Ogg, MP3, and WAV file formats so you can add them right into your favorite engine. Want to find the perfect jingles to fit your story? Then update the MEs in your game with the Orchestral Essentials Music FX pack!

Two new packs for RPG Maker. Take to the skies with the Fighter Plane Pack, and go even higher with the Gods of Yore Music Pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2670210/RPG_Maker_MZ__Fighter_Plane_Pack_Vol1/

Live your Top Gun dreams and battle fighter jets and choppers with Fighter Plane Pack Vol.1! Gee-kun-soft is back with another set of military-inspired vehicles, this time offering up 10 aircrafts with sleek shapes and ready to launch missiles. With static battlers, character sprites, and midair backgrounds for each vehicle, you’re ready to literally take your games to the next level, thousands of feet above the ground!

Battle streamlined fighter jets, armored dual-prop helicopters, sci-fi drone jets, and more with this pack. Each battler comes with 2 versions, one for in the air and one for on the ground, so you can use them for more than just battles! Have a cutscene show off a fighter jet resting on its landing gear before a sudden attack forces your players to jump into action, or have the helicopter’s blades stop when a powerful attack leaves it inoperable in battle. Let your players control a jet’s character to fly around for on-map combat, or have them plan out a safe trip while controlling a transport plane full of supplies passed enemy lines.

This pack also includes bonus images with each vehicle placed in its background ready to use as a cutscene picture! Show one of the hi-tech jets blasting lasers before your heroes’ base camp is destroyed, or after a poor choice force your players to watch the burning wreckage of a helicopter hang in the air for a moment before it plummets back to Earth. If you’ve been wanting to add some midair combat to your modern game or you need even more flying vehicles for your military story, pick up Fighter Plane Pack Vol.1!

Get ready to lute and don’t trust a lyre with the Gods of Yore Music Pack! Joel Steudler is here with another batch of beautiful tracks, this time with 20 BGM inspired by both the myths and the music of ancient Greek, Roman, and Norse gods. Joel’s not alone this time, teaming up with skilled performer Nick Vest to bring the sounds of ancient lyres to life with actual instruments based on what could be found back then (and if you want to know more, the pack includes an information packet with details and pictures of each unique instrument). Battle the gods, explore hidden worlds, and take some time to visit the markets with this pack’s tracks!

This pack is split into battle, dungeon, theme, and town tracks, each with 5 songs to help each location stand out. Have hollow beats and plucked strings accompany your heroes as they travel down, down, down to Hades’ town with ‘Persephone’s Dread’, and march into a frozen maze of death with the chilly pipes and groaning strings of ‘Hel’s Domain’. Battle on open water with the horns and drums of ‘Neptune’s Trident’ cheering on your foes or let ‘Odin’s Hunt’ inspire your heroes with chanting voices and powerful drum beats. Rest well in towns with lyres strumming soothing tunes in ‘Frigga’s Hearth’ and learn what fate has in store for your heroes to the bass lyre and haunting pipes of ‘Charon’s Toll’.

Each track comes in M4a and Ogg file formats so you can easily add it to your current MV/MZ project, or use it in your favorite engine. Grab the Gods of Yore Music Pack today and give your dungeons and towns some incredible tunes fit for Mount Olympus and Asgard!

Jo Seraph is back with another faceset pack in their beautiful painted style, this time with neck up images of 24 unique characters. Facesets and pictures for each character let you choose whether you want to use faces in messages or busts in your game, and grayscale and negative versions can help you create the perfect cutscene. Create memorable moments with recurring NPCs such as a troublemaking man with wavy hair and a piercing near his eye and his friend with a bowl cut, a thin-faced woman with hair tied in a bun and her pigtail wearing daughters, a brother/sister duo with curly hair and kind eyes.

As a bonus this pack also includes legacy portraits of Jo Seraph’s older works, with even more character facesets in a more anime/cartoon style, so you can choose the right style to fit your game’s aesthetic. Pick up Seraph Circle Crystal Portraiture today and give your NPCs incredible glow-ups!
