Create gorgeous pixel art cabins, castles, and cathedrals with Winlu Fantasy Tileset - Interior! Winlu has crafted this pack to give MV/MZ games incredibly detailed medieval and fantasy rooms. With full A2, A3, A4, and A5 autotiles along with 6 B sheets, you can create all sorts of locations, from scruffy hunting cabins and weapon-filled smithies to an alchemist’s library and even a throne room decorated for a feast! Decorate your hero’s childhood home with wooden furniture like bookshelves, benches, and a straw-stuffed bed, with a simple toilet tucked behind a carved wooden screen. Build an adventurer’s guild with stone walls and bearskin rugs spread on the floor, and keep your hero well-equipped thanks to a nearby shop filled with weapon racks and potions. Make sure your hero doesn’t break the kingdom’s laws though, otherwise they may find themselves locked in the castle dungeon, where chains hang from the walls and spiderwebs form in every corner!

This pack also includes animated flames so you can add some movement to your maps. Make sure the fire in the tavern’s kitchen is roaring while the cook makes soup, and light up a mage’s study with mystical blue flames. A variety of wooden doors, from creaky hut doors to reinforced dungeon ones, make it easy to control where your players can go, and 8 animated treasure chests are perfect for rewarding exploration. So if you’ve been searching for some little details to make your maps pop, or just want to add to your Winlu tileset collection, pick up the Winlu Fantasy Tileset - Interior pack!

Each ship also comes with a matching sprite, so you can have your heroes travel in style when they’re racing for the next planet. And 12 backgrounds (in 2 sizes, 816x624 and 1000x740) are the perfect backdrop for space battles and setting the scene when your heroes reach a new area, whether they’re floating above a calm planet, dodging trash in a shattered space station, or pausing before joining into a laser-filler battle.

This pack also includes 64 bonus images to add even more excitement to your cutscenes! Each spaceship is in its own section of space and comes in multiple variations of combat readiness. Show the serpent ship shooting anything that gets close with 6 turrets along in back right before your heroes have to dive into battle with it, or set the mood with a destroyed medic ship shedding chunks of burnt metal when your heroes arrive too late to help!

Give your game’s emotional scenes some subtle music with the Dark Drama Music Pack! Joel Steudler is back with 10 incredible BGMs that are perfect for those moments between deadly battles and cheerful camaraderie, when your players start to realize that not everything is as it seems and the ‘happily ever after’ ending may be harder to achieve than they thought.

Have Hidden Truths’ pianos and synths swell when your heroes enter a room, drawing their attention to the fact that there’s something off about the floorboards. Or use the heartbeat-inspired beat of Take My Pulse to create an uneasy mood when your players realize that the monster they’d been hunting was much closer than they knew. Make an abandoned station feel even more lonely with Access Denied’s echoing clinks and clanks of metal, and bring tears to your players’ eyes when the bittersweet pianos of I Remember play at a pivotal point in the story. Whether your spacefaring hero finds himself floating alone in an unknown star system or your heroes’ discover one of the party was separated while running from a monster, the Dark Drama Music Pack is ready to help set the mood!

New DLC: MT Tiny Tales Battlers - Wild Beasts, Last Boss Pack Vol.4

It's the new year! And you know what that means: Accidentally writing 2022 on everything for the next several weeks! But while you get that done, you can also power up your games with two new releases.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2260590/RPG_Maker_MZ__MT_Tiny_Tales_Battlers__Wild_Beasts/

Battle against nature with MT Tiny Tales Battlers - Wild Beasts! Mega Tiles is back with their adorable pixel art style, this time sharing 18 monsters to fill your game worlds with wildlife. Have your heroes face off against red-winged vampire bats, deer with elemental antlers, chubby raccoons, deadly spiders, and more with this pack!

Snake, slime, and bee enemies are perfect if you want to keep battles familiar for RPG lovers, and add your own spin with odd enemies such as shell-less snails, cockatrices, and plant-themed lizards. Or turn a cave into an acranophobe’s nightmare with three different types of spiders! Fill your forest maps with deer, foxes, birds, and bees, and give your caverns creepy-crawlies including centipede-like bugs and worms that burst out of the ground! Each beast comes with a battler and sprite, so your heroes can see and try to avoid unnecessary fights while exploring the areas. And if that wasn’t enough, every monster has multiple color variations, meaning this pack contains a whopping 90 creatures to choose from! Use the different colored slimes to show their elemental resistances, or choose a fitting color for the toothy worm that matches the dungeon’s themes.

Each image comes in 3 sizes (original, 2x, and 3x), so it’s easy to find a size that will fit your game’s resolution! Add even more creatures to battle against (or tame!) with MT Tiny Tales Battlers - Wild Beasts!

Give your sci-fi heroes some incredible robots to battle against with the Last Boss Pack Vol.4! Gee-kun-soft latest battler pack focuses on mechas and armored humanoid robots, with battlers, sprites, and background images to help bring your sci-fi worlds to life! With 10 different robot builds and variations for each to choose from, your players will be able to face robots on land, on sea, in the sky, and even in space! Challenge a red samurai robot to a duel in a dangerous city or have your players try to escape a mecha with four legs that let it roll on land and float on water without slowing down, all while a dark purple robot looms in the distance as the final challenge. Don’t leave your players without a robot of their own, give them a white and blue paladin robot or speedy fighter jet that can help them escape a deadly situation.

Each robot has a matching sprite, so you can let your players control their own mecha while exploring destroyed cities or space! 14 backgrounds (with two sizes, 816 x 624 and 1000 x 740) give you some out of this world choices for locations of battles and cutscenes. Let your players hang out on the streets of a skyscraper-filled town or on a ship’s deck while floating in space, or force them to survive battles in waste-filled worlds or in space while explosions burst in the background!

This pack also includes 26 bonus images with the ready-to-battle robots placed into the backgrounds, perfect for introducing your players to their latest foe before a fight! Show the samurai robot sending powerful sword slashes towards the screen before starting a battle, or have the villain’s dark mecha launch a barrage of missiles in a cutscene to force your players down onto a wasteland planet. So if you need some more robots for your epic sci-fi story or want to add some scenes from a mecha show to your modern game, check out the Last Boss Pack Vol.4!
