https://store.steampowered.com/app/2097310/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Steampunk_Airship_Tileset/

Gather your sense of adventure and leave your fear of heights behind with the KR - Steampunk Airship Tileset! Kokoro Reflections latest addition to the steampunk style offers up all the tiles you need to send rustic airships around the world! Have your heroes plan their next move while they sit in leather seats on a passenger ship, or give them their own airship where they can store their gear and fight off pirates with cannons!

5 different balloon sizes gives you options when it comes to airships such as longer trips requiring bigger balloons meaning your heroes will need to upgrade their ships as the game progresses, or use those different sizes to show airships floating by in the distance. Give airships small pre-built cabins when a cutscene calls for it or create your own hanging ship that your heroes can explore, full of crates, ropes, and barrels. Interior maps can contain the necessities for airship travel, with bunk beds and a hammock for sleep, chairs and tables for mealtimes, and even globes and maps to make sure your heroes don’t get lost!

Alongside all these tiles, this pack also includes animated sail wings and propellers! Make sure your heroes are never stuck mid-trip because the winds died down! And if that wasn’t enough, this pack also has 4 parallax images of different skies so that your heroes can fly so high in the sky that they can’t even see the ground. Take your stories to the skies with the KR - Steampunk Airship Tileset!

The pack includes multiple file formats, so it’s easy to add these SEs to your favorite game engine. Give your retro game some new beeps and boops with the Retro RPG SFX Pack!

It's Thursday again, and that means new releases! And this week, we have 3 fantastic new packs for you, a new tileset from Kokoro Reflections, a new character pack, and a brand new set of tracks!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2090270/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Concert_Hall_Tileset/

Grab your tickets and glowsticks, it’s time to rock out with the KR - Concert Hall Tileset! Kokoro Reflections has created a set of modern tiles focusing on the rooms and equipment needed to build stages. Get ready to create maps where your heroes can dance the night away in neon clubs, lobbies with ticket windows where they can meet up for a first date, and even backstage rooms where your heroes can meet their heroes and see how they make that amazing music!

Concrete and metal grate floors make for easy cleanup after parties, and use neon light borders to help show paths when the room goes dark. Line the stage walls with speakers and large screens so the people in the back can enjoy the show too. Don’t forget the rows and rows of seating, and metal scaffolding that all the lights hang off of! Or skip the show entirely and have your game take place in the lobby and outside the building, where large signs tell people just what can be found inside. Add instruments like guitars, drums, and pianos to your backstage maps to show that those rooms are used for more than just naps, or set up an entire recording studio with sound dampening panels and microphones.

This pack also includes animated sprites for glass doors (tinted both blue or red to fit your building) to let your heroes into the building and all the backstage rooms, as well as glowing lights to light up the stage. Bright spotlights in red, green, blue, and pink could pulse in time with the band’s music, and sweep across the audience while they cheer. Smaller lights and sparkles can add some extra excitement to the maps (or help your heroes find their way when they need to sneak out mid-song). Give your heroes some exciting memories of rock concerts and raves with the KR - Concert Hall Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2090260/RPG_Maker_MZ__RPG_Character_Pack_7/

One of the cool things about an RPG is that you can often play and meet characters that are very different from what you know in real life. Here, demons, different kinds of elves and even demigods can be encountered and interacted with which opens up many interesting gameplay and narrative possibilities. Those and more new humanoid yet not fully human characters wait for you to tell their story in RPG Character Pack 7!

Meet the joyful Gorgon, who doesn’t need any heavy armor since the gaze from her petrifying purple eyes keeps any enemy at a distance… forever. Are the two dark and light elves each siblings, couples or maybe they are just enabling your player to pick whether they want to play a male or a female?

And talking about options, with the devil queen and a male devil alongside three different demons you can either fill up a town of demonkins or add a full group of matching antagonists to your game!

As always, the RPG Character Pack comes with large artworks, Charsets, SV Battlers, Battlers and Busts and Faces with emotions, so you can use the characters for any role in your story.

Is the cute blue-haired fairy an enemy or a friend? Will the Valkyrie be a helpful ally or is she up for something sinister that her smile would never lead you to think of?

Your game is the stage, and these amazing demihumans will play whatever part you assign them to!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2090290/RPG_Maker_MZ__Japanese_School_Girls__The_Music_of_Their_Stories/

No matter how good a game looks, the music plays a huge part in transporting the mood and the emotions to the players. And if you are making a light-hearted game, perhaps one in a modern setting, the Japanese School Girls - The Music of Their Stories pack is just what you need to communicate the right vibes!

The thirty brand new tracks cover basically any situation you might want to score with matching music. Fitting the theme of the pack, even the more somber tracks are not deeply depressing, but rather soft with slow piano tunes. But those are comparingly rare, as most of the content of this pack is joyful and uplifting! Some of them are geared towards different times of the day, others are written to compliment situations as the classroom tracks or the “comical” one, which on its own might have you write a matching scene just so you can use the fun track in your project!

From the “opening” to the “ending”, there is not much left to ask for, but the pack even tops that and compliments the background music with twenty short jingles that you can add to highlight certain run-ins, events or the start or certain episodes! Sleep for example could be the tune that plays when there is a transition between different days in your game, or the Episode Halloween could mark the start of a halloween themed level!

Listen in and be inspired by all the great content in this pack!

Need some last minute additions for your IGMC entry? Doing something Steampunk, or perhaps something retro? Then maybe today's releases will be for you!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2077840/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Steampunk_Exterior_Tileset/

Grab your copper goggles and steam-powered weapons, it’s time to explore a brand-new town with the KR Steampunk Exterior Tileset! Kokoro Reflections has hopped onto the steampunk wagon airship to bring us all the tiles we need to create a city full of pipes and shiny metal decorations. Build shiny city centers, grimy industrial areas, and busy market places with this pack’s tiles!

Choose from wooden, stone, and metal walls to make your town’s buildings and top them with flat walkable roofs or angled shingled ones, with pipes sprawling between buildings and pumping steam power through the walls. Mark important buildings like the local inn or armory with signs, and let your heroes get a peek into not-so-important places with windows that let them see some of the goods for sale inside. String ropes between buildings and place filled crates in the industrial areas where railroad tracks lead out of town. And don’t forget to give the town’s kids a place to play with stylized swings, slides, and teeter-totters ready to be placed in a field near the town center’s fountain. Even the town’s plants have been touched by the steampunk style, with flowers blooming in metal pots and the trees seemingly growing strange decorations.

To make sure your heroes make it to places on time, this pack includes movable clock hands that match the large clock faces so you’ll always know what time of day it is. Have them solve puzzles using valves and levers to unlock copper-coated doors, or make them dodge old-fashioned cars that drive wildly on the roads! Bring your steampunk stories to life with the KR Steampunk Exterior Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2077830/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Steampunk_Interior_Tileset/

Let your heroes kick their feet up in a gear-encrusted inn or visit well-stocked shops with the KR Steampunk Interior Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with another steampunk pack, this time offering up tiles to help you map steam-powered laboratories and elegant studies. Create rooms with copper-toned wood, tile, or metal floors and decorative wallpaper, and show that certain areas of the floor are heated or lit with steam by adding piping autotiles around the room. Stairs that match each floor type can help you make multi-floor maps, giving you ways to lead your heroes down metal stairs into a dangerous basement or up carpeted stairs into a library stocked with rows and rows of bookshelves. Fill shops with crates of goods like bread and fruits or stock a clothing store with mannequins and steampunk outfits, with employees waiting for you by the cash register. Add couches, chairs, and food-covered tables to public areas of inns or taverns to give people a place to rest after a long day of work, all lit by a huge chandelier hanging overhead. When your heroes are ready to call it a day, let them relax in a hotel room with a soft bed in a decorative copper bed frame and an attached full bathroom.

Along with all of the small decorations, this pack also includes large pipes and hanging chains and ropes to build busy warehouses and labs full of gadgets and gizmos. Sprites for turnable valves, levers, and a copper-topped trunk give you options for interesting interactable scenes. Maybe your heroes need to turn off a pipe to draw a guard’s attention away from an office, or they want to steal some files from a villain’s hotel room. Create the perfect steampunk homes and labs with the KR Steampunk Interior Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2077850/RPG_Maker_MZ__8Bit_Devils_Castle_Music/

Find the perfect chiptune track to listen to while defeating the final boss in 8-bit Devils Castle Music! MoppySound’s music is full of chipper notes that are an excellent choice for retro games or for scenes that call for a nostalgic touch. 20 BGM options cover just about every occasion, ranging from high-energy boss battles to dramatic tracks perfect for an emotional cutscene and even a relaxed ending track to let your players know they’ve truly beaten the game while the credits roll. With 8 different field tracks to choose from, you can give each dungeon a specific BGM to make them stand out. Maybe the open mountain area can use a track with a straightforward rhythm, while the bandit’s hideout calls for a more mischievous track with toe-tapping tunes. And make sure to give the final dungeon its own dark and dangerous tune to keep your players’ guard up!

Also included in this pack are 13 MEs you can use to tie your whole game together. Make sure your victories and defeats have fitting chiptune tracks, and let your players know when they’ve solved a puzzle with a cheery set of chirps. Make sure your players can get fully invested in your retro game with tunes from 8-bit Devils Castle Music!

Sometimes, you get busy on your projects and things get a bit messy... well this release day we have a tileset to make maps in your game messy, plus a whole mess of new enemies!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2003830/RPG_Maker_MZ__Never_Ever_Clean_Up_Tileset/

Do you think your interior maps are too clean? Have you been trying to show that someone skips chores or that a place has been abandoned? Then it’s time to check out the Never Ever Clean Up Tileset! Wataru Nakanami has created decorative tiles for MV and MZ that can help add even more humanity to your maps with kitchen knick-knacks, hobby items, and more. The pack includes a filled B sheet for fantasy worlds and one for modern stories, making it easy to find the perfect addition no matter your game!

Grab the fantasy sheet to help stock a doctor’s office with shiny metal tools and stacks of books that haven’t been properly placed back in the bookcase, or a seamstress’s room with a wooden spinning wheel and old-fashioned sewing machine. Create the home of a gardener filled with potted plants and tools hanging on the wall, all lit by the soft glow of colorful lanterns. There are also translucent windows that you can add to certain shelves that can help tell stories all on their own. Have expensive books locked away behind closed panels, or show that thieves have already been here by having shattered glass in front of empty shelves.

A modern setting can use the other sheet to turn boring rooms into filled apartments. Give your gamer NPC a multi-screen computer setup, with all of their electronics plugged into the closest outlet. Or give a home chef a proper kitchen with dark marble countertops and a four-burner range. This sheet includes two versions of certain tiles (clean and dirty), making it easy to show that some teens threw a party while their parents were away and forgot to clean up the pizza boxes, or just how much effort your hero went to turn a disgusting apartment into a livable place. And if all those tiles weren’t enough, this pack also includes some sprites to bring some gross and grimy movement to your maps! Have cockroaches run around the ground when your heroes explore the city sewers, or show that a room is disgusting by having swarms of flies and writhing maggots near rotting food. So if you’ve been thinking your maps are a touch too sterile, or just want to add some grime to your lazy NPCs’ rooms, pick up the Never Ever Clean Up Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1621342/RPG_Maker_MZ__Odyssey_of_Fantasy_enemy_pack/

While the cause your heroes are fighting for is what makes your game interesting, the enemies they face on that way are what makes the actual fighting exciting!

With the Odyssey of Fantasy Enemy Pack you get 46 new obstaclesfor your party to overcome on their journey. Watch out when you enter the goblin territory, as they not only have standard little soldiers, but also archers, warriors, a general wielding a massive ax, a king that seems to possess spiritual powers and shaman-like wizards which wield their totem staff and one of five different magical orbs ready to attack! Better look closely to find out which element you need to resist, they could possess fire, water, thunder, grass or darkness powers!

And in the same fashion as the goblins, there is also a full orc tribe ready for your heroes visit! And the pattern of those five elements is woven into the whole pack, not only do the orc wizards fight with those as well, but there are also several other elemental creatures in here that have their own unique version for each element: There are cute elemental orbs, but also hauntingly beautiful female elemental spirits and dragons.

The whole set is rounded up by various ents, from a small stump to a normal sized one with a bushy crown to a bare one to a giant old one wielding spiritual powers plus more dragons, such as a baby dragon, a general dragon leading the armies of evil and a powerful yet elegant royal while king dragon. Your heroes should have their gear ready when they meet those, but the battles will be legendary!

It's hot out there, the perfect time to head to the ocean... or maybe under it. This week we have two releases that will take you on an adventure under the sea!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2068590/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Deep_Ocean_Tileset/

Have your heroes visit an underwater wonderland with the KR Deep Ocean Tileset! Kokoro Reflections must be able to hold their breath for ages to gather up the inspiration of this pack, since all of the plants and coral tiles come from the bottom of the ocean! Create a mermaid’s garden for your heroes to enjoy on their travels or dive even deeper to visit an old sunken battleship that may hide untold treasures.

Create ocean floors covered in short underwater grasses and sharp barnacles that lead to a forgotten pirate ship, with the unlucky crew’s bones scattered alongside gold coins and crates of stolen goods. Or send your heroes through a kelp forest, where lush aquatic plants form a maze between large shells and healthy coral growths. If you want to give your players more reasons to explore this underwater world, have them investigate sunken planes that possibly crashed during a brutal war, or show that people used to live in the area by placing carved stone arches and pillars where paths may have been.

Each decorative tile includes a deep water version to help you show just how little light is reaching the area. Let your heroes realize they may need to turn back for more oxygen before entering an underwater dungeon by replacing the bright green kelp with the blue-tinted deep water version, or have those bluer versions appear when night falls and the sun no longer shines down through the sea. If you’ve been wanting to have your heroes visit the ocean floor, dive in with the KR Deep Ocean Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2061900/RPG_Maker_MZ__Into_the_Depths_Music_Pack/

Exploring new worlds that we could never visit in person is one of the perks of gaming. And Murray Atkinson’s newest musical pack takes us somewhere, where we all probably have never been: deep, deep under the sea.

Into the deep is a collection of beautiful tracks that lets you feel as if you were under the water. Tune in, close your eyes and follow the music: visit the Reed Village, and enjoy the light hearted tunes and atmosphere or go on an adventure in the Secret Submarine, where the soft beeping of the machine itself, the mysterious sounds of your sonar and lamps and the bubbles in the water create their own unique and alien melody.

You can enjoy calm moments or get winded up in a sudden thrill - like a Shark Attack or the Triton Escape. Will you make it or will you find your resting place far under the waves?

If those are a little too exciting for you, how about going on another adventure by exploring the Underwater Caves? This track catches both the calmness of the water and some light sounds that resemble bubbles or light rays that could make their way through holes in the ceiling.

Those and more are among the fourteen amazing tracks this pack has to offer, listen in and let them take you and your heroes to the bottom of the ocean!

It's that time of year everyone! The Steam Summer Sale! While you are looking for more games to play, be sure to head over and upgrade to RPG Maker MZ (if you haven't already!) or pick up some more DLC to flesh out your RPG Maker projects! And speaking of DLC, we have 3 brand new ones for you:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2061890/RPG_Maker_MZ__Winlu_Fantasy_Tileset__Exterior/

Have your magical adventure start right with the Winlu Fantasy Tileset - Exterior pack! Winlu’s latest pixel art pack focuses on medieval-inspired buildings and foliage to help you make an incredible world. Create rural towns, flower-filled forests, stone cathedrals, and even a demonic castle with this tileset!

Build multiple towns with different building styles and groundcover thanks to well-stocked A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 tilesets, along with diagonal roofs to help you make more interestingly shaped houses. Give areas custom looks with a wide selection of windows, and show which parts of town are ignored and overgrown thanks to winding leaf-covered vines that crawl up walls and dangle off roofs. Show how busy the business section of a city is with equipment like anvils, tanning racks, crates, and two-wheeled carts filled with goods. Or create a calm farm where piles of hay are stored next to the house and a scarecrow stands between crops while bright flowers spring to life outside the fields.

The trees in this pack are designed to be modular, meaning you can mix and match to make custom forests in your game where similar tree trunks have different amounts of leaves instead of repeating the same tree over and over. This pack also includes animated decorations such as rotating water wheels, glowing lanterns, and banners that flutter in the wind to help bring your maps to life. Let a flame flicker in the town’s forge, and give each building a fitting door or gate with more than 10 to choose from! Unlock closed gates by pulling a wooden lever, or let your heroes rummage through treasure chests and boxes that they can open. Craft a beautiful pixel world with Winlu Fantasy Tileset - Exterior!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2062740/RPG_Maker_MZ__NPC_Male_Villagers_Vol1/

Are you worried that your male NPCs are a bit too quiet? Do you want to add some extra liveliness while your players wander town maps? Then it’s time to give NPC Male Villagers Vol1 a listen! 12 different types of male voices offer you a wide selection of short Japanese shouts, from cheerful young boys to energetic teens and even serious elders, perfect for giving your male villagers a voice no matter their age!

Each voice set comes with 10 different sound effects to let you choose the right one for the scene. Have your adult villagers say hello while your players walk by while boys run laughing and shouting happily as they play. Let your shopkeeper give an angry shout if your players try to swipe something from the store, and have a young man let out a worried sigh when asked about if they have any side quests to offer. Pepper an old man’s monologue with “oho”s and “eh”s, and have him huff if your players try to cut his hour-long story short. Or jolt your players into realizing this town isn’t as happy as it seems when a child’s piercing scream and mens’ horrified cries cut through the previously silent night. Every SE comes in multiple formats, so that you can easily add them to your favorite engine! Give your men some audio love with NPC Male Villagers Vol1!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2061880/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Mad_Science_Lab_Tileset/

Grab your lab coats and safety goggles, it’s time for science! Kokoro Reflections’ Mad Science Lab Tileset is here to help you build grungy dungeons where a killer zombie virus was created and an overconfident scientist brings a monster to life. Or give your heroes an underground bunker to recover in, where a ragtag team of scientists work on powerful machines to help the heroes defeat the robot overlords.

Give your lab’s different areas unique looks by wielding 12 brown-tinged walls and wooden and concrete floors together with a selection of dirty details like rusty edges or rubble to make rooms at different stages of disrepair. Once your rooms are squared away, add in counters where you can store all of your scientists’ tools! Medical journals, note-covered papers, beakers and flasks filled with unknown liquids, microscopes, and even a brain in a jar can help your players judge exactly what type of person runs the lab. Beyond those modern tools, there is also a wide selection of machinery and sci-fi technology glows with an alien green tint, just what you need to explain where all the vicious chimera or robot enemies are coming from.

This pack also includes some animated levers and valves to help you add some puzzles to your lab dungeons. Have your heroes twist valves to get past leaking pipes and pull levers to open locked doors instead of just creating a huge maze to get through to reach the final lab! So if you’ve been looking for some tiles to give your mad scientist boss the perfect lair or want to create an alien hideout hidden away in a modern apartment building, pick up KR Mad Science Lab Tileset!

Plus with the large extra artwork for each of them, you can even put together a title screen or custom menu! And the mixture of various different characters is what makes this pack so versatile and fun! On top of the ones we've already mentioned, you also get an Alice in Wonderland like girl with a matching blue and white dress and innocent face, a mysterious kyubi lady wielding a fan, amd a princess who decided to serve her country as a knight in fashionable yet sturdy armor and ready to protect her loved ones, and more.

Another added bonus is that two sets of the heroines - the kimono lady and the yurei, plus the princess knight and the SFX heroine, share the same base and hairstyle, giving you the chance of implementing them as one character in different outfits!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2053870/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_High_School_Tileset/

Let your players show off their athletic abilities on sporty maps, confess their love in the music room, or search for a cure to the zombie virus in the science lab!

Choose from tile, brick, and linoleum flooring to find the best option for each classroom depending on how much is spilled each day, or send your players outside during recess to play on grass and concrete covered in jungle gyms, swing sets, and slides. Let your PE class do more than just run laps thanks to tiles for diving boards, basketball hoops, and white lines to outline a football field. Have your players spend their time after school with the science club in the lab classroom with test tubes set up on each table.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2053860/RPG_Maker_MZ__NPC_Female_Villagers_Vol1/

But if you still want that little extra, the NPC female villagers pack is just for you!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2025150/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Legendary_Palaces__Chimera_Tileset/

Does your steampunk kingdom have a ruler who can’t decide whether a lion, a snake, or a goat would be the best national animal? Give them the option to choose all three in a single creature with the KR Legendary Palaces - Chimera Tileset pack! Kokoro Reflections took the Greek chimera and built some interesting tiles based on it so that you can create a fantastical steampunk castle for your heroes to explore. Traverse copper halls, avoid deadly spike pits, and explore rooms with huge gears poking out of the walls all while statues of chimeras guard the halls!

Metal flooring and walls show their use with rust and dirt, making it easier for you to create a busy place without pristine halls, perfect for a dwarven castle or an academy where experiments often run wild. Bright green crystals decorate columns and statues of the mythical chimera, ready to light the way when your heroes are lost or to lead them to a trap. Wander under arches topped with gears and leaping chimeras, or pause in front of a large clock window to make sure that you’re not late to a meeting with the queen. What if you wanted to create an ancient castle? Then make use of the grimy moss and cracked autotiles to weather the floors and add to the palace’s apparent age. Hopefully your heroes notice when they wander into a room that was recently cleaned, because whoever or whatever is living there may not be happy to meet them…

Light your castle rooms with two different green-tinted flames, and let your heroes swipe royal goods from treasure chests shaped like decorative pots. If you have been wanting to make a palace with a steampunk theme, need a rusty dungeon, or just feel like showing some more love to the monstrous chimera in your game, make sure to check out KR Legendary Palaces - Chimera Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2025140/RPG_Maker_MZ__Blood_Animations_Pack/

Blood, the juice of life. Inside our body it is vital and keeps us going, and what it can do outside of it is what you can see in this pack! The blood animation pack comes with 20 unique blood effects to be used in battle or on the map. Whether you have a caster with more sinister spells in your party, want to give your demonic enemies the properly matching graphics for their attacks or just want overlay gory scenes with a little extra splatter, there are many reasons to pick this pack up!

With animations such as a bloody slash with tornados or explosions made out of blood, this pack will not only give you the needed graphics for spells you already had, but also inspire a whole new set of techniques! The blood heal animation might accompany a powerful healing spell that comes with some darker side effects, or the blood spear could be a powerful attack that draws some health from the caster.

Thirsty for more blood? Then be sure to check this pack out!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2025160/RPG_Maker_MZ__Suspense_Music_Library_Vol1/

Does your game need some electronic music to add the right mysterious tones to a scene? Has your cyberpunk hero been blamed for a crime that they didn’t commit and now needs to prove their innocence, and you need some fitting background tracks? Then it’s time to check out Suspense Music Library Vol.1! TK. Projects’ latest music pack brings you 20 BGMs perfect for setting the scene and keeping your players’ attention on the story.

Have one of the pack’s intriguing tracks play while your players explore a crime scene at a bar, with New Evidence or Plan2’s electronic rhythm playing in the background to help them keep their mind focused on finding hidden secrets. Or let Crafty, with its quick beats and electronic strings, fill the room while your players rush to put together the clues to solve a puzzle and get one step closer to finding out who is causing all the trouble. For those quieter moments grab a song like Tragedy, where bells and strings take control and offer up a tune fit for realizing just who set your hero up or for exploring a normally cheerful location at night when everything is dark and silent. And if your players make a mistake and blame the wrong person for the crime? Let Disastrous Scene play its slow piano and ticking clock while your players see just where they went wrong.

Don’t overlook this pack even if your game is focused on battles! Since many of the tracks have a rapid-fire beat and toe-tapping rhythm there are plenty of choices when it comes to battle tunes! Find the right tracks for your modern mystery or your sci-fi adventure with Suspense Music Library Vol.1!

It's June! Summer is here (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere). And that means... staying inside in the AC working on your game. Man, it is hot out there. And we have new releases to carry you through! This week we have a new all in one retro style graphics pack and a plugin for enhancing your game with particle effects.

There are many retro packs out there, but their biggest flaw is that most of them cover just a small portion of the graphics you need for a game, such as the battlers or maybe the tiles. The 8bit Retro Graphic Materials All-in-One Pack stands out, as it is REALLY an all in one pack!

It doesn't just include all the tiles to make an extensive fantasy game from the deepest dungeon to the highest tower and even a matching world map, no! There is an extensive collection of heroes and NPCs - human, animal and monster! And not only do all of them come with a matching face graphic, but all the heroes have SV battlers and there are even unique battle weapons to go with this new style!

And if you'd rather use a front view system, each actor also comes with a unique battler for that style as well, as well as basically everything you could want to battle in such a setting, such as sandworms, trolls and skeletons, just to name a few. And if you now think, wow, that is a really well rounded set, there is even more: with 93 different animation sheets you can create the matching animation for basically every spell or attack you might need, plus it includes everything you need for your UI: buttons, icons, balloons and the windowskin have all been taken care of. There are even battlebacks and a wide selection of premade title screens and overlays you can combine with them!

If you ever wanted to make a game that just looks and feels like the JRPGs you played on your handheld many many years ago, you don’t have to look any further: all you need is this and you are set!

Does your fire dungeon need some flickers of sparks floating in the air and smoke rising from pillars of flames? Do your rivers and ponds need ripples as raindrops hit them while your heroes run to get out of the storm? Do your heroes need to kick up some cartoony clouds of dirt while they run? Then it’s time to check out Particle System Plugin - TRP Particle MZ! Thirop Games. is here with a set of plugins to help your particle dreams come true!

With a wide selection of preset particles to choose from, you can easily add some impressive effects to your maps. Have your campfires send smoke into the sky while fireflies lazily float around the edges of your camp, or turn up the heat in a volcano with angry red magma highlights and raging fires spewing out of cracks in the ground. When your heroes explore the icy tundra make sure that there are snowflakes falling on them, or make the empty plains dangerous to cross because of a cascade of lightning bolts raining from the clouds! You can even send your heroes to the bottom of the sea (in a protective air bubble of course) where the entire map ripples and shadows of fish swim overhead.

Beyond the presets, this pack also includes an edit function to help you tweak your particles to perfectly fit your map. No need to adjust a number in an event and then playtest to see it in action, this edit function lets you do it all while the game is running so you can see all the changes as you make them! This barely scratches the surface of this particle system, so if you’ve ever wanted to add some extra sparkles to your game check out Particle System Plugin - TRP Particle MZ today!
