Have you been wanting to build a gritty city for your MV/MZ game but haven’t found the right tiles yet? Kauzz is back with Modern+ Midnight City, another incredible pack of tiles to help you build your modern cities out of dark asphalt and brick walls.

Give your urban areas the right look with concrete sidewalks and neon lights in store windows. Have your heroes save some time on their commute to work by cutting through alleyways that are full of trash and dumpsters leaning on the walls, or give them a chance to relax by playing basketball in the small park tucked between buildings. If your heroes are just passing through the city, make sure they stop at the local gas station to fill up their tank and grab some snacks. And if you need some inspiration when it comes to buildings? Then make the most of the pack’s 6 pre-built buildings, giving you easy access to places like a fast food restaurant, a convenience store, and multi-shop buildings!

Don’t forget to give your city apartments some proper interiors with this pack’s interior A4 and 2 B sheets. Create a gorgeous modern apartment for your characters that include all the necessities of life: computers, flatscreen tvs, game consoles, and coffee makers! If that doesn’t quite cut it for you, then make sure to decorate with the pack’s rugs, bookshelves, kitchen cabinets, and toiletries.

This pack also includes sprites for doors, cars, and even large trucks, so you can make sure that your city streets are busy! And don’t worry if you’re an Ace user, as this pack has an Ace version with 32x32-sized tiles. So you can make modern cities in your favorite engine! If you’ve been waiting for some gritty city tiles, or have just been waiting for the next Modern+ pack, make sure to check out Modern+ Midnight City today!

It’s time to update some of your game’s emotional scenes with RE-D MUSIC PACK 2! Gee Kun Soft’s latest pack contains 10 new tracks to help draw your players even more into your world’s story with tender and touching melodies.

Have your hero confess his love to his best friend while violins and a piano play softly in the background, and use powerful strings and a beautiful harp to bring tears of joy to your players’ eyes when your hero and his best friend are reunited after defeating the final boss. Choose a piano-focused tune when your heroes return to their hometown, weary but glad to finally be back with their families, or when they share whispered secrets in the middle of a quiet night. One of the pack’s faster paced songs features flutes and acoustic guitars that would make for a wonderful welcome to a cheery port or bustling town. Or use an elegant but slow tune to introduce the kingdom’s palace, where tragedy has struck and only your heroes can help.

This pack includes multiple formats for each track, making it simple to use in your favorite engine. If your game has been calling out for some new BGM, then pick up RE-D MUSIC PACK 2!

It's another beautiful release day... but who wants to go outside? This week, we have some awesome indoor modern tiles, and a cool retro console music perfect to score a old school style pixel art game!

The coolest modern city is nothing without some neat Interiors to explore, and today, Kokoro Reflections brings you a pack to make them real.

If you think about the types of maps you might want to have for your modern town, what comes to your mind? Maybe you think of cozy and clean homes with contemporary furniture, fully equipped bathrooms, and then over to the kitchen and living room, to the bedrooms. With this pack you got all of that: everything to fully set up the homes of your characters. And whether you use the office tiles to give them a home office or create their workplace elsewhere is up to you.

But of course life does not only take place in the office or at home, and with this amazing set there are a lot of locations to visit. Maybe your heroes need some groceries or to pick up something else. There are plenty of shelves with a huge range of different wares they can place in their shopping carts. After that, they might want to check out the fitness studio or treat themselves with a visit to the local beauty salon or hairdresser.

But they should watch out for sure, as there is also a small police station in town including bars they could end up behind. Better check out the arcade instead, and go out for a beer or dinner at a restaurant afterwards. There are so many things possible with this set, and your players will be as happy to explore them as you are!

Retro Games have a lot of charms, and when we hear those soundtracks they can hit us with nostalgic gaming memories. If you want to instill your game with that nostalgic feeling, you are going to need the right music, and the Retro Game Console Sound BGM Set delivers. Starting each of these tracks will take you right back to the time when pixel graphics were standard and having a handheld console that could display colors was a revolution.

With 18 looping tracks you are now ready to make your own old school game. Whether you are making a Pixelated RPG, an old fashioned jump’n’run, or just making some minigames for your characters play in an arcade, the tracks in this pack would fit right in. With 8 General Stage themes, you'll have the variety to make a full game leading up to the final epic showdown.

And then to make that showdown even more memorable, there are a 2 extra tense Final Stage themes, building up to another 2 bombastic Final Boss Themes. The remaining 6 tracks flesh things out with Openings, Endings, and Menu Select music. And if you want something special to play after clearing a stage, getting a game over, or selecting a level, you have an additional 5 MEs to choose from to give them a distinctive sound. If you are going retro, these tunes are a must have!

Release day is here again, and this week we have three new packs to sink your teeth into! Heroine Character Generator 2 has made the jump to MZ, trot the globe with the first World Music Pack, and head to the stars with Tyler Cline's SciFi Music Pack.

Bring your magical girls and modern fashionistas to life with Heroine Character Generator 2 for MZ! Gee-Kun-Soft is back with MZ generator parts to take your female leads from drab to fab! This pack’s 38 generator parts contain new accessories, eyes, clothing options, and hairstyles to help you make your heroines look just how you imagine them.

All new front and rear hairstyles let you give your heroines faces framed by luscious curls or bangs swept to each side. Let your tomboy tie her long hair up with a ribbon or cut it into a bob so that it’s easy to maintain. For your warriors with long hair, how about a thick braid to keep it out of the way during battle? And when the fighting is done and it’s time to party, let it fall loose in long flowing curls. Don’t forget to decorate it with the pack’s new accessories! Adorable cat ears with a small flower accessory or a fluffy bow on the top of her head can really show off your characters’ personalities.

And if you’ve been needing more outfits, this pack is for you! 20 clothing options offer all sorts of possibilities for modern worlds. Give your schoolgirl-turned-magical-girl a simple uniform for her day to day scenes and a sleeveless dress with stars on her skirt when she needs to take on some baddies! Fantasy games can also find a use for some of the dresses that would be perfect for wearing to fancy parties. Or have a scene where your heroine needs to dress as a maid to sneak into a noble’s mansion.

With 3 AccA, 1 AccB, 1 beast ear, 20 clothing, 5 eyes, 4 front hairs, and 4 rear hairs generator pieces, this pack is full of pieces to help create your heroines. Make sure to check out the Heroine Character Generator 2 for MZ pack today!

Are the default music choices not quite fitting your globetrotting adventure? Then give World Music Pack Vol.1 a listen! Northsound Inc has made a pack that can take your heroes on an adventure around the globe, with 26 BGMs that cover towns, dungeons, battles, and everything in between!

Battle against foes in different lands while exciting flutes or powerful strings cheer you on, and explore dangerous dungeons to steady percussion and curious strings. Wander open fields or busy towns to the lively tune of flamenco guitars, or take a break at a relaxing tea shop as calming strings play in the background. The addition of choirs to a few songs take them to the next level, inspiring awe in your players when they enter forgotten ruins or mystical sites.

This pack’s 24 MEs offer even more ways to improve your scenes’ soundscape, with tunes for resting at inns, finding items, battle victories and defeats, and more! Introduce a powerful character with a burst of taiko drumming or reveal a beautiful landscape with lutes and flutes. And 15 SEs make sure that you can make your menus' sounds match the rest of your game’s musical themes, with short Arabic and Japanese inspired jingles.

So if your game focuses on adventures all over the world, needs some suitable tunes for exploring a desert, or just needs a unique soundtrack for your fantasy world, check out World Music Pack Vol.1 today!

Take your game to a galaxy far, far away with Tyler Cline's SciFi Music Pack! Tyler is at it again with a music pack perfect for those of us who dream of travelling through the stars. So put your spacesuit on and get ready to blast off with synth tunes!

This pack’s 13 BGMs cover a range of emotions to help you tell your space stories. Float through space to the relaxing tones of Andromeda or the otherworldly strings of Starlit Iris. Fight off enemy spaceships or alien creatures to the fast-paced beat of Calculated Assault, and try to avoid deadly laser blasts while Solar Flare’s electronic beeps warn you of the danger.

Don’t forget to take some breaks from all the exciting space travel! Pick one of the calmer tunes as background music for your space bars, or when your hero just needs to take a few minutes to look out the window to fully appreciate the stars. The softer melodies are the perfect backdrop when you want your player to realize just how big and empty space can be.

The pack’s songs come in MP3, OGG, WAV and M4A formats, so it’s easy to use them in your favorite engine! Make your game sound out of this world with Tyler Cline’s SciFi Music Pack!
