New DLC: KR Road Trip Addon Tileset
Make your modern game feel even more realistic with road construction and long trips on the freeway with the 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!
Official DLC: Massive Retro-Style Asset Packs and Animated Effects Are Here!
This week, we’re releasing a large-volume asset pack that lets you recreate retro game-style cityscapes, along with animation assets for enhancing battle scenes and a variety of music packs!
"Enemy Counter Roar" is an animation effect asset pack inspired by techniques unleashed by enemies. It includes 77 effects focused on monster-specific attacks such as fangs, beaks, claws, and more.
"Pocket Pixel: Basic Asset Pack" is a content-rich collection packed with retro pixel art assets. With tilesets, walking animations, system graphics, and more, this single pack lets you recreate the nostalgic look and feel of classic games.
"NEONPIXEL MEGA CITY SET" is the latest entry in the popular tileset series. In addition to creating cityscapes such as historic downtown areas and modern urban districts, the pack also includes character animation assets like cargo ships and moving trucks.
"Breakthrough Battle Tracks!" is a music pack designed to heighten the intensity of battle scenes. It features 6 tracks spanning a variety of genres, covering everything from standard encounters to climactic boss battles.
"ORCHESTRAL BGM COMPLETE PACK" is an orchestral music collection perfect for sword-and-sorcery RPGs. It includes 38 background music tracks and 17 musical effects, covering a wide range of scenarios such as battles, casinos, ships, and themes of evil
Kokoro Reflections is ready to fill your lamp stores with all of the possible MV/MZ-sized lights you could ever need. With 60 different styles to choose from and 4 different types of lights for each, finding the right light for any room is easier than replacing a broken bulb! Light a cool hallway with blue glass pendant lights, add some rectangular copper and green glass scones to a steampunk office, place floor lamps with lampshades shaped like paper lanterns in the corners of a mage’s shop, and give a modern home some extra oomph with a stark white chandelier hanging in the foyer.
6 B sheets are filled with a rainbow of options, each with their own style. Give your art deco-loving NPC a chandelier with sharp angles, while a younger NPC sticks to a few floor lamps with simple beige lampshades to light their apartment. Decorate a gothic home with dark lantern-shaped scones and fill an eccentric NPC’s home with mismatched stained glass lamps. Each light comes in two versions (unlit and lit), so you can make sure that your players can fully appreciate the lamps no matter if it’s day or night. Have the lights automatically turn on based on the in-game time system to gently remind your players that they should rest for the night, or add a puzzle to a mysterious mansion where your players need to turn on and off all the lights in the house in a specific order. If you have been wanting to replace all the torches and default lights in your game with some great lamps, check out the KR Furniture Store - Lamps and Lighting pack!
