RPG Maker MZ - Nick_Komodo

For our final release day of the year, we've got 4 packs to fill you with Holiday cheer, plus the Steam Winter Sale has just begun!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2235930/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Hint_of_Holiday_Tileset/

Add some Christmas cheer to your games with KR Hint of Holiday Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with a small pack to take your maps from “bah humbug” to “merry Christmas”! Deck the halls with garlands and bows, and make your character’s home the cheeriest in the neighborhood with strands of lights and even a large inflatable santa! Carpet autotiles in red or green are a quick way to add some holiday cheer to a room, and use the wooden tables with plaid tablecloths to hold a pile of presents! Ornament filled trees and wreaths are ready to fill a room for any parties, and a colorful train and nutcracker are perfect for distracting any kids from diving headfirst into their presents.

This pack also includes 4 sprites to help your characters explore more of the world. A red pickup truck is ready to take your player to the Christmas tree farm and home again, with a variation that includes a tree in the truck bed. Or let your characters enjoy time together while they travel through snowy landscapes in the decorated red and gold sleigh! An oversized snow globe could be a simple decoration at a party or turn into a tool used by a dastardly villain, kidnapping one of your character’s friends and trapping them in the globe! Let your players know when a scene is happening in your game with some festive extras or create an adorable Christmas game as a present for your loved ones with KR Hint of Holiday Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2235950/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Snow_Town_Tileset/

Tell the tale of a small winter town over many years with KR Snow Town! Kokoro Reflections must have had to put on their heavy winter coats while working on this snowy version of their Everyday Town tileset, with a fluffy layer of snow coating everything! Build a comfortable town with thatch roofs and cobblestones paths near chilly rivers and snow-topped farmland. With a full B-sheet of decorative tiles for interiors, you can make sure your villagers enjoy their time by reading books from the shelves, cuddling around the fireplace, cooking hearty stew in pots, or even just watching the snowfall from the comfort of their windows! Crops, crates, plants, signs, and more are all frosted to fit the chilly village exterior, so you can fill your maps with lots of little details.

This pack isn’t meant for just happy towns though! The ruined versions of tiles include cobwebs and cracked wood, snow-covered furniture, moldy food, smashed building walls, and more! Have your heroes feel the pain of being too slow to stop monsters from attacking a small snowy village and seeing the destruction they’ve left behind. Or give your players some hope by letting them watch an previously abandoned town slowly be repaired and populated by hard-working farmers over the years your heroes are adventuring.

Sprites for flames to help the villagers stay warm during winter and doors that can close to keep out the chill are included to help build your towns. And give your players more of a reason to explore with three different simple treasure chests, based on boxes and barrels! Create a safe place for your heroes to recover while exploring icy mountains or have them arrive too late to save a village with the KR Snow Town tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2235940/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Victorian_Mansion_Tileset/

Build a fantastic house for your heroes to explore or live in with the KR Victorian Mansion Tileset! Kokoro Reflections time-traveled to the 19th century to get some insight into the style of the era and brought it all to life with this pack! Filled A2, A3, and A4 autotiles sheets can create both interiors and exteriors for the mansion with polished wood, opulent wallpapers, and tile roofs can create spooky spaces or warm living rooms depending on how you decorate them. Light up the room with lamps with decorative shades and create a noisy wall of clocks with 12 different choices, or keep a living room simple by matching drapes to the color of the fainting couch. A variety of themed tiles mean you can make each room unique, from a kitchen full of cast iron pots to a bathroom with a copper tub and even a kid’s room with bassinet and toys!

Create a gorgeous garden with a full B sheet of trees, shrubs, and flowers! Give your rich nobleman a well-manicured flower garden with trimmed bushes while the abandoned mansion on the top of the hill has a desolate yard covered in mushrooms and grassy weeds. Animated autotiles for ponds and waterfalls are perfect to bring some subtle movement to the gardens, whether they’re inside or outside. Fill your Victorian story with proper furniture or give your modern horror story an old-school feel with the KR Victorian Mansion Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2235960/RPG_Maker_MZ__Christmas_Holiday_Music_Pack/

Set the holiday mood with the Christmas Holiday Music Pack! Murray Atkinson donned a Santa costume to deliver the gift of Christmas music to us all, with 7 musical tracks to choose from. Pump these orchestral remakes of public domain songs through your game while snow falls on your heroes to complete your winter wonderland, or have them play on repeat in an item shop as a nod to the radio’s love for them in December.

Introduce a beautiful home while Deck the Halls plays in the background, or use it in place of your normal castle themes during the winter season. Carol of the Shchedryk’s dancing strings could be the perfect tune while your heroes explore a bright snow dungeon or have it blast from speakers while they visit a town’s winter festival. Let your heroes relax to the gentle strum of strings in Silent Night as they have a calm fireside chat, or have the haunting melody of What Child is This play over a scene of a sleeping town. Or turn a snowball fight into an incredible battle scene while electric guitars rip through familiar tunes thanks to the track Jingle Bells Punk Rock!

Want to give your fantasy winter town a holiday-ish theme without using a recognizable song? Then let Atkinson’s original song Christmas Town’s upbeat jingle bells fill the air with cheer! Give your holiday game some fitting background tracks or help sell this cheery time of year in your modern adventure with the Christmas Holiday Music Pack!

In addition, be sure to browse all the deals on RPG Maker and RPG Maker resource packs in the Steam Winter Sale that just started today!

New DLC: Time Elements - Character Core Set, Melancholic, NPC Male Priests Vol 1

RPG Maker MZ - Nick_Komodo

Another release day, another new set of packs to make your game sing. Make brand new pixel based characters, score the slow and somber portions of your game, and give some male priests a voice with the latest three packs!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2228670/RPG_Maker_MZ__Time_Elements__Character_Core_Set/

Build your characters from the ground up with the Time Elements - Character Core Set! Finalbossblue has created new pieces to help you build your perfect heroes! These pixel art pieces are designed to fit a 16x16 pixel grid, meaning that they can be resized to easily work in whichever RPG Maker you want. And with more than 50 pieces, covering hair, shirts, pants, wings, weapons, and more, you have tons of options to fill your game with characters! Fill your game with even more excitement by making use of the animations such as jumping, holding something, swinging a weapon, and sleeping to add in extra movement to cutscenes and dungeon exploration.

Making your own hero can be tough if you’re not used to art programs, so this pack simplifies things by containing a generator! Create your characters with a few clicks of the mouse and then export it in the size you need for Ace or MV/MZ so you can add it right in! Create a bat-winged warrior decked out in red armor, a bearded thief in a green hood, a spear-wielding lady knight, and anyone else your game calls for by choosing the right pieces or hitting the randomize button for new inspiration!

Overwhelmed by the generator and not sure what NPCs to make? Don’t worry, since this pack also includes 16 ready-to-use NPC sprites (including children) and 5 prebuilt heroes so you can add them in and get right to the game-making! A PDF guide is also included, just in case you need some help figuring out a specific thing with the generator or character pieces. Start creating all the pixel art sprites you want with the Time Elements - Character Core Set!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2228680/RPG_Maker_MZ__Melancholic/

Give your players a chance to catch their breath and think with jazz-inspired tunes and other haunting tracks that leave out the powerful electric guitars and drums seen in so many energetic battle themes. Instead, let strings like pianos, violins, and cellos take the lead. Accordions are ready to fill a new city with their familiar trill, and pianos can add a wistful mood to the campfire when your heroes have to take a break in the middle of nowhere.

Think your fast-paced game doesn’t have a spot for any of this pack’s tracks? Think again! This pack doesn’t only have slower and softer tunes, it also has a few tracks with darker vibes. Let the deep notes of a double bass warn your players that the alley they entered probably isn’t the safest place, or have almost choir-like strings and a crackle of electronic beats play when your heroes discover a secret that should have stayed buried. Each track comes in multiple file formats, so you can add them right into your favorite engine. Let your heroes take a break while soothing piano plays or explore a city of love to the tunes of an accordion with the Melancholic music pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2228660/RPG_Maker_MZ__NPC_Male_Priests_Vol1/

Give your devout men some voices with NPC Male Priests Vol. 1! TK.Projects is here with even more Japanese voice clips, this time focusing on 12 different characters that you could run into in and around the town’s church or hospital. And with 10 SEs each, you’re sure to find a voice that will fit the scene. Have the son of a healer laugh happily as he runs between pews, older men grumble about a recent monster attack outside the building, a suspicious man laugh to himself in the shadows, and more with this SE pack!

With a spread of ages covered in these voices, you’ll be able to find something that works no matter your character. Give your fatherly priest a voice that sounds appropriately middle-aged and kind, while your handsome healer’s voice is pleasant when he laughs. Let your heroes listen in to an elderly man scolding a teen boy for falling asleep on the job, and discover a new clue to help solve the town’s mystery when the boy sighs and tries to explain himself. Or have an eerie moan wake your heroes up from a nap, only to discover that they’ve been kidnapped!

Adding these SEs to your engine of choice is simple since each track comes in multiple file formats, so what are you waiting for? If you need some voice clips for the town’s head priest or a creepy laugh to warn your players that the man who has a quest for them is untrustworthy, check out NPC Male Priests Vol. 1!

A1, A2, A3, and A4 autotiles are ready to help you create an adorable little town. Fill the tiny farming village with dirt paths and rustic wooden homes and let your heroes walk down stone paths between brick and stucco storefronts. Create small wood-lined waterways in a small forest village, while larger towns rely on brick canals flowing alongside the stone streets. Angled roof tiles make it easy to add variations to your buildings, so they don’t all have to look like cookie-cutter squares! Wooden barrels and crates, clay pots, benches, row boats, and other tiles are ready to decorate your village streets and alleys, or keep things natural with flowers and shrubberies.

If all those tiles weren’t enough, there are also destroyed options to let your players see the wear and tear of time on an unlucky town! Damaged signs, cracked roof tiles, shattered windows, and web-filled crates can make any town look down on its luck. Will your players be able to save the poor villagers from total destruction? This pack also includes 12 wooden door sprites to give your players access to the village buildings! Give tiled-roof homes doors with matched tiles on their overhang, and make it easy for people to enter the local tavern by giving them arched two-tile wide doors! Create a cozy wooden town for your heroes to grow up in or have a broken down village that your players need to repair with the Krachware Fantasy Town Exterior Tileset!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2228580/RPG_Maker_MZ__MGC_Animations_Collection_Vol_1/

10 different themes, each with 3 animations, cover a variety of buff/debuff and elemental situations. Equip your wizard with elemental skills themed around lightning balls, nature, earth, flames and dark energy to blow your enemies away, or give them the raw power of magic with beam and neutral animations focusing on bursts of red, purple, and white light! Haste animations that spin to speed allies up and power-themed ones to drain foes or fill your heroes with a burst of strength are perfect for your support party members, or keep things simpler by letting your warrior charge up and hit harder with impact animations.

This pack includes a MZ project so you can see each animation in action, with SEs set up for the full experience.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2228560/RPG_Maker_MZ__NPC_Female_Priests_Vol1/

Is your game’s churches as quiet as a graveyard when your heroes revive? Do you want to give your healers some verbal cues when they greet passersby? Then it’s time to check out NPC Female Priests Vol.1! TK.Projects newest SE pack brings us 120 Japanese voice clips to fill your churches and hospitals with greetings and laughter of the women who work there. Instead of overexplaining with messages, have a priestess sigh when your heroes need to be revived after losing a fight to a slime or let a healer chuckle if a party member needs to be healed after getting food poisoning.

12 different character voices offer up options for multiple ages and levels of belief. Have a young girl give a shy hello from her spot in a pew when your heroes walk by, or a middle-aged woman sob outside to attract your players to talk to her and start a new quest. Soft-spoken priestesses and believers can hum in thought before suggesting blessings to help in combat or cry in joy when your heroes manage to recover the town’s lost relic. Don’t give only your good NPCs' voices though! The fanatic SEs in this pack are perfect for followers of the demon lord or villains who are trying to trick townsfolk into giving away all of their hard-earned money.

Each SE comes in multiple file formats, so you can easily add them to your favorite engine without needing to edit them. Add more voices to your NPC healers and quest givers with NPC Female Priests Vol.1!

New DLC: NPC Male Soldiers Vol.1

RPG Maker MZ - Nick_Komodo

In our last release day of November, we bring you a new voice pack!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2217660/RPG_Maker_MZ__NPC_Male_Soldiers_Vol1/

Ten-hut! It’s time to add voices to more of the men in your games with NPC Male Soldiers Vol.1! TK.Projects’ latest voice pack offers you another 120 SEs to help your NPCs find a voice of their own. Give your guardsmen cheerful greetings to the people passing through city gates, let noble knights offer thoughtful advice when your heroes need it, and have the kingdom’s gruff general let out a deep belly laugh when an overconfident soldier challenges him to a fight for command!

Each character voice comes with 10 SEs covering a variety of uses, including greetings, angry shouts, concerned sighs, and screams of terror. Let the hellos and hums add some much-needed sounds to long conversations, punctuated with loud laughter or angered grunts when the speaker feels like your hero’s attention has started to wander. Or use the voice clips as audio clues for your players to realize certain NPCs have sidequests to offer. Worried sighs from middle-aged soldiers at the bar could lead your heroes on an adventure to reclaim a prized helmet, and an excited “wow” from a nervous new recruit reading a book in the barracks could start a quest to turn those young men from zeroes to heroes!

Multiple file formats make it easy to add these voices in your favorite engines and use them right away. Fill your guard posts and battlefields with the sounds of living people with NPC Male Soldiers Vol.1!
