Find new foes for your heroes to battle with the NATHUHARUCA Fantasy RPG Monster Pack! NATHUHARUCA put together a pack of drawn monsters to help you bring more fantastical fights to your RPGs. Battle twirling dragons, possessed stones, living flowers, and more!

This pack includes 13 different monsters each with multiple recolors to fit different regions, so even when your heroes explore new areas they can still find familiar foes. Battle against red-petalled man-eating plants in lush forests while blue-stemmed ones seek out snacks in caves and tundras. Or fight solid treants with different colorations depending on their weaknesses. Explore ancient ruins while dodging magical machines and angry zombies that were accidentally brought back to life by your players, and face off against a deadly demon with rippling muscles and sharp spines in the treasure room. Search caves filled with rock bugs and tick-like spiders for a powerful blade, and battle the spirit guarding the blade to earn it!

As a bonus, this pack also includes battleback images to create a dramatic battle on a mountaintop with light spilling through dark clouds, the perfect place to fight against your biggest foe! Let your players challenge all-new enemies with NATHUHARUCA Fantasy RPG Monster Pack!

Add some more people to your sci-fi games with Rinober’s Futuristic Characters! Rinober’s latest pack is here, with 12 hand-drawn characters to help bring your world to life with their own vibrant style! With spritesheets, facesets, and full body art for each character you can add more personality to your heroes and NPCs.

With the characters covering 4 women, 5 men, 2 kids, and 1 robot, you can create a living world for your players to enjoy. Make a crew out of a shorts-wearing smoothtalker, a gruff and buff cyborg, and a cheerful female pilot, or explore a futuristic city as a jacket-wearing average Joe. The facesets and full body art come with different expressions to help you really show the mood during cutscenes. Have your friendly doctor smile when talking while the no-nonsense business woman glares at your players when they fail to bring her a requested item. If your hero ends up in a crash, the injured set brings the damage to the forefront with scrapes and blood.

Along with the walking sprites, each character also has a sheet of behaviors to help add some extra movement to your maps and cutscenes. Have your kids laugh at a funny joke, or let the ship’s robot shake its head ‘no’ when something isn’t possible. Let your heroes gesture with their hands while they talk or when they need to push a button, and have random NPCs blink while your players explore the maps.

Each character comes in two versions, one with black outlines and the other with colored outlines, so that you can choose the perfect look for your game. Get ready to add more characters to your sci-fi games to populate your worlds with Rinober’s Futuristic Characters!

Have you been searching high and low for more MZ animations? Your search is over thanks to the MGC Animations MZ MegaPack 1! ManuGamingCreations has created a pack filled with explosive elemental attacks to help you bring your game’s skills to life. Choose the perfect animation for your skills from a pool of 189 options!

These animations’ bold and bright style can add extra flair to your battles, turning a simple magic missile skill into a projectile that blasts across the battlefield to strike your foe in a fiery explosion! With single target and AoE animations for your favorite elements like fire, water, thunder, wind, and more, you can give each skill its own unique appearance. Create a whirlwind attack with a green swirling tornado that surrounds your enemy, or strike them down with a dragon head formed from flowing water. For skills that don’t need as dramatic an animation, choose from the different colored fireballs and impacts. Along with the elemental attacks there are slashes, explosions, healing sparkles, and shield animations so you can give your non-magic users some love too!

Many of the animations also include leveled up versions, so when your pyromancer learns a more powerful fire skill you can make sure its animation lives up to its damage! Or have an energy beam visually show the power level of your hero with extra flashes and arcing energy.

Each animation is ready to be added to your game, so you don’t even need to touch Effekseer to use them. Give your skills a colorful and bombastic update with MGC Animations MZ MegaPack 1!

Welcome my friends, in the realm of the phoenix. May it be the heraldic animal of the ruler of this castle or the actual beast, that is up to you. But no matter what you go with, there is an amazing sight ready to be experienced!

The Phoenix Palace seems to be built right into a volcano, with flowing lava falls and open pits full of bubbling molten rocks. The whole architecture embraces the theme as well, with loads of fascinating statues of the legendary bird with glowing highlights against the dark rock they were made out of. With beautiful pillars topped with gemstones, carefully crafted handrails and portals there is a lot to use to decorate your own palace maps. And at the heart of the castle you can place the Phoenix Throne, a luxurious and breathtaking piece that shows the power of whoever has the right to sit on it. But watch out, this place can be dangerous as well!

There are open fires and spiked pits that might make your heroes question whether they should have opened those tempting ornate treasure chests…

The Legendary Palaces - Phoenix Castle pack by Kokoro Reflections brings you everything to place an unique and brand new location into your game! Get it while it is still hot!

Each of the tracks is unique and inspiring on their own, listening to them will get your imagination going with all the scenes you can build around them. For example, in the Laboratory theme you can hear the different gadgets and bubbling fluids in the tunes of the track.

Other tracks are don't have themes that are nailed down, but that makes them versatile to fill out the rest of your soundtrack. Do the sounds of Space Dance underlie an actual dance?
