Getting a consistent look over all the different graphical resources in your game can be a huge chore, especially when you aim for a clear and pixelated style, matching animations are hard to find. The second iteration of the Pixel Animation series fills this gap with 32 amazing and unique animations for your projects - no matter whether you use Ace, MV or MZ. With not only the sheet but also set up animations and instructions on how to import them they are as quick and easy to use as they can be and they look dashing at the same time!

You get eight different animations each for fire, water, wind and earth, allowing you to have a range of skills with distinct patterns! From softer blows and small tornados to water bubbles and fountains, there are a lot of cool tricks your heroes can pull off with these!

And if you go with a matching style for your sprites and tiles, many of the animations will look amazing on your maps as well, for cutscenes or you can pull out the burn animations for your typical RPG village getting burned down…

There is a lot you can do with those, so check them out and see what you want to make out of them!

Sometimes the default resources just don’t match the tone of the game you are going for. This can especially be the case with the default character sets, as no matter how cute and well made they are, the 1:1 head to body ratio can look way too cute for the setting of your game.

The Sprite Height Modifier is an easy to use plugin that helps those out who want a shortcut to taller characters without reworking all the graphics! By adding it to your project and setting the ratio you are going for, the plugin automatically stretches everything below the head by the value you chose, giving the chance to choose the size that works for and looks best to you.

You can even go as far as using different ratios for different characters, allowing you to have characters of varying height in your game without any extra work! This also allows you to exclude chest and object sprites from being affected by the change. To have the adjusted sprites blend in even better, the plugin also affects the height of the bushes.

So if you ever considered having taller characters and were intimidated by the amount of work that goes into this change, maybe this is the route you want to go?

This week's release is special! Two complimentary packs that recreate monsters with the same names, but completely different designs! One for Front View, and one for Side View (Though many can be used for either!) So let's look at the P. KONEKO Monster Design Packs!

Give your players some new fearsome foes and enthralling enemies to battle against with two packs this week: P. KONEKO Monster Design FV and P. KONEKO Monster Design SV! Parabyo Koneko. created these packs using a painted style to bring some incredible enemy ideas to life. With 37 enemy types in each pack to choose from, get ready to battle against banana slugs (emphasis on the banana), moon-devouring wolves, and musicbox mimics in the FV pack and pink bunny slugs, demonic three-headed wolves, and a decidedly UN-happy meal burger mimic in the SV pack!

The FV and SV packs share the same naming conventions for each battler, but put their own spin on them! The FV dragon’s red scales and six-limbed design are reminiscent of European dragons while the SV dragon’s serpentine body bursts from the ground as its extra eyes search for its next meal. Have your fantasy heroes face off against the FV dullahan who wields a spinal cord whip from horseback, or send your heroes to a steampunk or more modern world with the SV dullahan who rides a magic-powered motorcycle! The FV and SV taur enemies switch which body parts are monstrous with the FV being a bull-headed minotaur and the SV a green-furred centaur, and even the most common of enemies, slimes, have their own unique looks! Battle the FV slime in the field where its bulbous body that holds a small heart inside can bounce along the ground, and find the SV slime (in an adorable gummy bear form) in a magician’s tower where it escaped the bottle where it had been imprisoned! With other enemies such as skeletons, fairies, merfolk, dragonewts, and even satan, you’ll be sure to find fitting foes for all over your game’s world!

Each battler comes in three sizes: normal for smaller resolutions or common mobs, big for larger resolutions and boss monsters, and the original size (which is the largest so that you can shrink them down to perfectly fit your battles). And if having three different sizes to choose from wasn’t enough, each pack also includes an arrangement folder where you can find each battler split into separate parts for its body, effects, and shadow so that you can tweak it to better fit your vision! Want to have an extra option where the FV mimic chest doesn’t have coins and drool spilling out of its mouth? Then leave off the effects image. Or show that you’re facing off against the SV lesser daemons high in the sky by removing their shadows! So if you’ve been searching for some new monsters for your heroes to face or just love seeing an unusual style to kickstart your brainstorming session, check out both P. KONEKO Monster Design Packs!

Another week, another set of releases. The KR Legendary Palaces and MT Tiny Tales sets grow yet again, with a new palace style and more Tiny Tales battlers!

It’s time for your heroes to battle against storms and nature itself thanks to MT Tiny Tales Battlers Elemental Forces! Mega Tiles is back and this time is bringing elemental enemies to life with pixelated battlers perfect for side view fights. With elemental options for water, fire, wind, earth, ice, storm, nature, light, and dark

18 unique monster designs give you options for all sorts of elemental battles. Face off against golem-like earth elementals and tornado wind elementals high in the mountains, or sail the high seas while battling wave after wave of water elementals and storm elementals that appear as living thunderhead clouds crackling with lightning. If battling literal elements doesn’t quite fit your game’s world, don’t despair! There are also prime elementals in this pack, which gives each element a more humanoid form to fight. Battle against a witch wielding lightning, a wrestler with rock skin, or even a well-dressed woman with icy blue skin instead of the lesser elementals, or use these prime versions as bosses. Each design also comes in 4 variations, giving you 72 battlers to choose from! Warn your players about poisonous attacks by using the purple-vined nature elemental or turn an earth elemental into a metal one by picking the shiny gray version.

This pack also includes sprites for each battler, meaning you can have flame elementals chase your heroes before the battle starts or turn a prime elemental into the unusual owner of a village magic shop. And each monster graphic comes in three sizes (original, 2x, and 3x) to make it easy to add into your favorite engine! Add to your Tiny Tales collection and give your heroes some new challenging battles with MT Tiny Tales Elemental Forces!

Mark the important routes with wavy gilded edges to the floor and glowing orbs on the walls and topping sculptures, and warn your heroes not to go a certain way with sharp spikes blocking their path. When your heroes finally reach the throne room, give your naga queen a comfortable place to rest with a cushioned low throne instead of a generic gilded chair.

This pack also includes pink and teal flame sprites to help light up your naga palace’s floors and waterways, with thin flames ready to be placed on decorative pillars and a raging fire for when your heroes have pissed off the castle’s ruler. And one way you could upset the naga ruler is by opening their gilded treasure chest, which you can animate thanks to the included treasure chest sprite!

With giant gems shimmering in all colors of the rainbow encrusted in ornaments, statues and pillars out of pure gold there is a lot to see and enjoy while being there. Who might reign about this fantastic palace, sit on the winged throne, maybe flanked by giant unicorn statues? Maybe someone who adores unicorns or maybe one of the magical creatures themselves? And how did you come here? Maybe you flew here, maybe you walked up on the included rainbow tiles.

As always this pack is well rounded and comes with everything you need to turn the beautiful maps you make with it into fully fleshed out dungeons: animated flames in matching colors, twinkles and a matching chest animation, a whole set of water to utilize if you wish to have some, various beautiful parts to customize the building to your liking and even a matching cloudy parallax to lift the palace up into the sky!

Dress your ladies into one of 20 different new base outfits and combine it with one or multiple of the twelve matching accessories to get just the perfect look. Maybe you want a nun, complete with vestment and matching veil to be the cleric of your party, or maybe you are aiming for a beautiful kimono girl with flowers in her hair. Or maybe you just want a modern cute dress that you mix with the adorable short cape decorated with a ribbon and round the outfit up with the matching off centered small hat with a ribbon as well.

Whatever you are going for, there is more in here beyond just clothing. Five unique pairs of eyes will help you to make your heroine's faces stand out as well, and so do the five front and rear hairs each that allow plenty of fancy combinations! From a high ponytail with a braided element to various types of tied up hairs, the rear hairstyles this time make sure the hair does not get into the way when fighting too much.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1948590/RPG_Maker_MZ__MT_Tiny_Tales_Battlers__Monstrous_Uprising/

Do you have just the perfect retro tiles for your game and are looking for some monsters to populate your maps? The MT Tiny Tales Monstrous Uprising matches the tiles from this series but can also come in handy for other styles as well!

This set comes with 18 unique monsters that all come with several color variations, resulting in 86 ready to use monsters! Or are these even monsters? Given that they all are humanoids, you could even use them as heroes in your game, if you like! There is a full tribe of orcs that even have their own shaman and are ready to battle.

So are the naga, from the one dual wielding swords to the beautiful naga queen with a trident they will not be too happy to have an adventurer walk into their realm. The same is to be said about the kobolds, those three guys have picked up spear, sword and staff and don't seem to be happy to meet your party!

All of these come not only with multiple well rounded color variations, plus a unique sprite and battler each which means you can have on map encounters for all of them as you wish! For more convenience, the files all come in the original size or scaled for either VX/Ace or MV/MZ, so you can just plug and play them in the engine of your choice!

Get your weapons out and be prepared to meet those creatures!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1948600/RPG_Maker_MZ__RPG_Character_Pack_6/

Every RPG is just as good as the characters you can play or interact with. And if you are looking for some more possible options to illustrate such a cast, you came to the right place! The 6th iteration of the RPG character packs brings you a total of 16 heroines to spice up your roster!

If the place for the spellcaster in your party is still vacant, why not have one of these girls jump in? You can choose between a confident elemental master, a young and perhaps a little inexperienced healer going on her first quest, a powerful magic master with a gorgeous custom dress, a cute magician girl with a witch’s hat and a fancy short dress or a warrior priest, who combines metal elements and a super sweet outfit into one cool design.

There are even more options for classes that fancy physical attacks, each with their own well rounded look and iconic weapons. It is totally up to you, if you want a more exotic class such as a grim reaper, complete with scythe and a black hood or you rather go with something more common as the forest guardian, a beautiful sword wielding blonde lady ready to fight for her home! No matter which role you want to give to these characters - hero, NPC or enemy, they come with all the files needed: busts and faces complete with emotions, static and animated battlers, a full charset with three downed poses each and even a full artwork that you can utilize as you want - maybe on your title screen or in a custom menu.

Check out these cool ladies, you might want to have them in your game!
