New DLC: KR Road Trip Addon Tileset
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3831910/RPG_Maker_MZ__KR_Road_Trip_Addon_Tileset/
Kokoro Reflections is here with an add-on to their MV/MZ-sized modern sets, focusing on all the little details that make roadways more than just long, empty stretches of black asphalt. Have your heroes drive over suspension bridges to reach new locations, block streets with crashed cars or construction areas, and show your players new items they could purchase on billboards along the roads!
A1 tiles along with 8 B sheets include a wide variety of tiles to turn boring streets into integral scenes! Fill your players in on plot points with signs that warn drivers that hitchhikers could be escaped inmates from a nearby prison, or have some ‘for sale’ property signs to let your players know that they can buy some land to build their own store or farm. Use bright orange construction signs and cones to force players to travel the routes you want them to, and add tons of common American road signs along the roads and on streetlights to help your players find their way around the city (or leave your players confused with tons of signs that seem to contradict each other). And add some extra spots of color to normally plain streets with graffiti and custom billboards!
This pack also includes a character sprite for toll booth barriers, so that your heroes either need to pay a fee to take a shortcut or adventure off the highway to find a free path to the next city! If your game needs some scenic cutscenes while travelling around the world or you just want to include a fun road trip side story, check out the KR Road Trip Addon Tileset!
