https://store.steampowered.com/app/2623930/RPG_Maker_MZ__The_Story_of_Pixels__Monster_Pack/

Battle new painted foes with The Story of Pixels - Monster Pack! SourceByte is back with another pack, this time giving you some new enemies in their unique style for your heroes to fight. 8 different creatures have their own character sprite, static enemy battler, and face image so you can create full storylines about them. Let your heroes try to diffuse the situation by talking with an upset green-scaled lizardman before fighting them, or have the spear-wielding lizardman talk to your heroes after they defeat him and share secret skills to strengthen your warriors. Or have lumbering and furry yetis stomp around the mountains while your heroes have to sneak past them to avoid causing an avalanche!

Spooky scary skeletons and rotting zombies can wander your graveyards and ruined cities, or have them hang out in undead bars and offer unsolicited advice to your lost heroes. Battle hulking orcs and wolves with glowing red eyes in forests, and give your dungeons powerful bosses with a flaming volcano creature and an enchanting vampire woman! Each enemy image comes in 3 sizes (big, normal, and sized for MV/MZ) so you can choose the best size for your game or use the different sizes to create boss versions of each monster. So if you’ve been wanting to battle some snake-tailed lizardmen or need some more monstrous sprites to help flesh your world out, pick up The Story of Pixels - Monster Pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2623920/RPG_Maker_MZ__Gothic_Blue_Halloween_Party/

Set up haunted parties and creepy mansions with Gothic Blue Halloween Party! Aqua has created a MV/MZ tileset pack to help you create Victorian-inspired interiors that are ready for either a party or for kids to explore after getting dared to enter the town’s “haunted house”. 2 A2, 2 A4, and 2 B sheets offer up floors, walls, and living room furniture perfect for making the scene of a murder mystery or a cheery party after a long day of schoolwork. Set bright orange and purple couches in the center of a room with windows that reveal night is approaching, but don’t let that stop the party! Have your players enjoy colorful drinks from a witch’s cauldron and snack on candies from glass jars while they talk with other partygoers, or have them look at the fake spiderwebs and neon decorations in the corners of the room to avoid their bully.

If your game requires a creepier setting, then skip the Halloween decorations and go straight for the dark and grim gothic blue tileset, where rich blue fabric stands out from the cold black stained wood and tiles. Perhaps a vampire lives there and enjoys the aesthetics they grew up with or maybe the mansion belongs to a writer who just loves macabre decorations. Mix the tilesets together to make a dark mansion with pops of color coming only from forgotten jack o’ lanterns and hanging cobwebs. Pick up the Gothic Blue Halloween Party pack today and make the spoopy party maps of your dreams and the cool and creepy mansions of your nightmares!

New: Cursed Kingdoms Monster Pack 2, Cursed Kingdoms Boss Pack, Inanimateness

Michael Galefire is back with two more Cursed Kingdoms packs, and ayato sound create is here with a brand new soundtrack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2670080/RPG_Maker_MZ__Cursed_Kingdoms_Monster_Pack_2/

Battle the twisted creatures that call sludgy swamps and dark woods home with the Cursed Kingdoms Monster Pack 2! Michael Galefire’s latest static monster battler pack is here with 20 images to challenge your heroes with curved claws, ethereal flames, and spittle-covered fangs that could easily end someone if they’re not careful!

Teach your players to avoid bites whenever possible by having them fight a green-tinged wolf that can breathe poisonous gas or a snarling wolf with flames coating its tail and a mouth as hot as a furnace. Or have them learn quickly to always carry antidotes and potions with them when delving into dungeons where spike-covered mutated bears and decaying zombies are simply a warm up for a boss battle against an undead dragon! Create a creepy insect-based cave filled with pot-bellied bloodsuckers and armored worms bursting from the floor, where the final challenge is against an enormous spider queen and her armored servants that are an arachnophobes worst nightmare.

Not even the forests are safe! Large dead trees could be living creatures in disguise, just waiting for an unlucky adventurer to stumble too close to its roots, and loose dirt on the path could hide and a buried monster that grabs its prey with clawed tentacles. Skull-headed aquatic creatures could dive during battles, changing to a different battler image, to avoid your players’ normal attacks and a heavily armored undead knight astride its undead mount is ready to teach your players’ to think before attacking a secret side boss. Grab the Cursed Kingdoms Monster Pack 2 if you’ve been wanting to add some extra darkness to your wild battles!

Prepare your heroes, it’s time to face some horrific bosses with the Cursed Kingdoms Boss Pack! Michael Galefire is back with another static battler pack in his amazing painted style, this time focusing on hulking bosses to challenge your heroes. Battle an ax-wielding ogre with bonelike spikes stabbing up from his flesh and a shiny metal jaw attached to his head, or run from a demonic insect with its bloated body ready to explode in a burst of destructive energy!

7 unique battlers are ready to turn any dungeon into a tomb for surprised adventurers. Challenge cyborg-like liches with decaying armor and twisted limbs in graveyards to free trapped souls and defeat a black shelled alien that evolved from lobsters to stop the ocean from destroying a tranquil beach town. Or leave those bosses to another set of adventurers and focus on the true evils of the land: the Cthulhu-inspired Enslaved Headhunter and Umbral Terror! Purple tentacles squirm beneath glowing green eyes of these deadly foes, with the headhunter’s stained weapons ready to claim another trophy and the terror simply rising from the shadows to crush all who are foolish enough to challenge it.

Each battler comes in a high-res format so you can resize it to perfectly fit into your game, or leave it huge to strike fear into your tiny heroes! If you need some incredibly detailed monsters for important story beats or want to get some more graphics to flesh out your Cursed Kingdoms collection, pick up the Cursed Kingdoms Boss Pack today!

Explore dungeons to the sounds of mechanical beats and guitars, ponder what options your hero has left to a piano-heavy track, and let an almost western-style guitar guide your path when your hero enters a mostly deserted city while searching for a long-lost friend.

Battle against enemies with heavy metal guitars roaring in your players’ ears, or turn that track on when your hero realizes that they only have a few minutes to escape a boobtrapped factory! And when it’s time to take a break, play one of the tracks that fills the void with echoing synth and subtle gongs just so your players don’t ever truly relax in such a strange world. Multiple audio file formats make it simple to use each track in your favorite engine. So if you want some new tunes to set the mood and make your players feel your hero’s loneliness, check out Inanimateness!

Explore abandoned buildings while echoey synth and lonely strings play, or use it to demonstrate just how empty a basement is… At least until your heroes find the hidden trapdoor that leads them into an all-new dungeon. Reveal who was behind the terrible experiments while a deep and dark tune plays in the background, with stings that send goosebumps racing down your heroes’ arms, or introduce the villain with quirky but concerning synths to put your heroes at ease before he strikes.

This pack also includes 1 SFX you can use as an ME to take a lab to another level of horrific. Slowly increase the SFX’s volume as your heroes approach a lab setup and let your players realize the bubbles and whimpers are coming from the creatures floating in glass containers, before they burst forth to attack! M4a and Ogg audio formats mean you can easily add these tracks to your current MV or MZ game, or use them in your favorite engine. Give your laboratories and science buildings some creepy tunes with the Doomsday Mad Science Music Mini Pack!
