Add new NPCs for your heroes to interact with with the Galefire Characters - NPC Pack! Head out for your very own beach episode with the KR Summer Beach Tileset!
Upgrade your cutscenes and visual novels with expressive characters thanks to the Galefire Characters - NPC Pack! Michael Galefire is back with a new set of 28 full body pictures to add more people for your players to interact with in your fantasy worlds. A variety of species and jobs offer up all sorts of possibilities for NPCs for your heroes to meet, from a gruff orc sailor dressed in fur-lined clothes to stave off the chill when sailing the icy Northern trading routes to a short and cheery dwarf brewmaster decked out in her favorite colorful outfit so she can head off to the beach when she closes up shop for the night. Have your heroes chat with a grinning human fishmonger, a skilled dragonborn chef armed with a holster of spices, and an elf musician to learn the latest rumors in the city, or stick to business by meeting with a serious forgemaster for some new equipment and an elf merchant who’s selling mana from tanks she carries around the market square. Take on new side quests by talking with the goblin innkeeper who always has a contract that favors her ready and the fully armored knight who needs help solving a few situations in less-than-legal ways, and move the main storyline along by gaining the favor of bejeweled trade masters and renowned warriors armed with legendary weapons.
Each image is high resolution so that you can make sure your players can see every important detail and so you can resize them to perfectly fit your game’s screen size! Or shrink them down for a sudden battle if you want to give your heroes more options than just talking their way into new places. Pick up the Galefire Characters - NPC Pack and get ready to have your heroes befriend unique shopkeepers, learn new skills from armored warriors, flirt with armed troublemakers, and more!
Toss your heroes onto a deserted island where they need to survive until they’re rescued or let them relax in a cozy resort after saving the world with the KR Summer Beach Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with a MV/MZ-sized tileset focused on sandy shores and tropical palm trees that are perfect for making your players feel like they’re hanging out on a warm beach. A1, A2, A3, A4, and 4 B sheets can fill a beach map with different textured sand and water that gets darker and deeper as it gets farther from land. Shock your players while they’re sailing on the world map with a sudden fade to black and drop them onto an empty beach with scattered wood planks and broken shipwreck tiles to let them know they’ll be stuck there for a while. Have them wander between leaning palm trees, mossy rocks, and hanging vines as they battle their way through a jungle until they stumble across a small village filled with thatch-roofed houses! Let your players decide if they’d rather collect colorful seashells and coral on the beach or work in the village’s small inn to help fund their escape from the island, or spend their saved gold to relax in rooms filled with comfy wooden furniture until the next ship arrives at the docks.
Making a game that takes place in modern times? Then grab the inflatable floaties and life vests to decorate the beaches, and stick ATMs and emergency exit signs around your resort interiors so that your heroes can always stock back up on cash when they head out to visit the rest of the island. This pack also includes multiple sliding paper screen doors so your heroes can have some privacy in their comfy resort rooms and you can keep your players from wandering into new areas too quickly. If you’ve been wanting to add new seaside maps to your games or need some little bungalows scattered between wooden docks, pick up the KR Summer Beach Tileset!
New DLC: Another World Hero Generator 3 for MZ, KR High Seas Ship Tileset Kit
Make more heroes with Another World Hero Generator 3 for MZ! Then head to the high seas with the KR High Seas Ship Tileset Kit!
Give your male party members the makeover they deserve with the Another World Hero Generator 3 for MZ pack! Gee-kun-soft is here with another set of 40 MZ-style generator pieces, perfect for giving your heroes a sleek haircut, new snazzy set of clothes, and some expressive eyes! 2 AccA, 3 AccB, 20 Clothing, 5 Eyes, 5 Front Hair, and 5 Rear Hair generator parts offer up a variety of armors and outfits along with accessories to give each of your characters unique looks or have them change as the story progresses.
Start your main character out as a bandit with a mohawk and simple outfit made up of cloth wrapped around their waist and some metal arm guards they scavenged from someone else, but when a robbery goes wrong and he is forced to become a true hero make sure to update his outfit with some real pants and maybe even a shirt! Show that time is passing during his adventures by changing his hair from a mohawk with fully shaved sides to a mohawk with fuzzy stubble around it, and eventually let him fully grow his hair out if he decides that his new role of hero requires a new hairstyle. Have your hero switch his outfits depending on what he’s doing, so that while he’s crafting he is wearing a tanktop and apron, while he’s sneaking into enemy bases he’s draped in dark robes, and while he’s receiving a reward from the queen he’s decked out in a well-made uniform! Or let him keep his comfy traveling outfit with its long coat while the NPCs around him get to wear layered magician’s robes.
And don’t forget how much the right eyes and accessories can take a character to the next level! Give a naive prince a shining circlet and wide, friendly eyes so that players can instantly tell he’ll believe whatever others tell him, and subtly warn your players about a sneaky merchant by giving him downturned eyes that you can match with a default smile to turn it into a sneer. Pick up the Another World Hero Generator 3 for MZ pack and fill your party and game world with powerful warriors and helpful men who are looking their best!
It’s time to set sail with the KR High Seas Ship Tileset Kit! Kokoro Reflections is here with an incredible set of tiles that let you make your own wooden sailing ship, so your heroes can have the ship of their dreams while trying to save the world. Use this pack’s ocean A1 tile to give your ship a background to sail on, and the A2 and A4 tiles to build solid decks and waterproof walls that are ready to be decorated with the 3 B sheets. Deck your deck out with curved edges to cut swiftly through the water and short railings to keep any wayward sailors from falling into the water, and set up the wheel near the stern of the boat to let your players control where they’re sailing to next. Towering masts and spider web-like rope riggings can be ducked around while moving between the different deck levels, and wooden crates and barrels can hold food and goods while small lifeboats are stacked behind them just in case of a sudden sinking. Below deck portholes can offer light in the dark maze of hammocks and cannons, while the metal cage and chains of the brig deeper in the hold is lit only by a lone lantern.
When your perfect ship is ready to set sail, make use of the animated sails, flag, and water splashes to show that the ship is indeed moving! With sails that swell in each cardinal direction you can make sure the wind is always blowing in the direction you need, and door sprites can help keep your players out of areas that you don’t want them exploring just yet. If your game focuses on pirates or you just want to make sailing the high seas more than just a world map activity, pick up the KR High Seas Ship Tileset Kit!

New DLC: KR Gothic Prison Tileset, KR Haunted Swamp Tileset
Lock your heroes up in a large stone building where concrete hallways lead to deadly bad ends and the only exit is past tall iron gates with the KR Gothic Prison Tileset! Kokoro Reflections has created another spooky MV/MZ-sized tileset that’s perfect for making dark prisons, haunted asylums, and unlicensed medical offices. A2, A3, A4, and 4 B sheets are ready to build interior and exterior maps that lean into the creepy vibes of cold gray stone and metal. Each sheet comes in 4 variations (clean light, clean dark, dirty light, and dirty dark), meaning you have 22 sheets to mix and match to make your perfect prison! Introduce the jail with clean walls and floors on the first floor to make your players think all is well, and reveal the evil within by adding more grimy areas the farther your players explore. Or let your heroes jump between timelines to solve puzzles! Traveling back in time to visit the active kitchen with working stovetops available to burn bags of trash to find a thrown-away key and then jump back into the present-day abandoned building to unlock the director’s office where scattered papers and books are spread out over a large wooden desk.
This pack also includes 32 character sprites for prison buses, cell doors, and levers so you can create door puzzles that lead deep into the bowels of the prison, unlock cell blocks with big metal switches to create chaos, and escape on a grimy gray bus as the credits roll. If you’ve been needing cold metal rooms where your hero stages a prison break or want to create a creepy abandoned asylum for your players to explore in search of a forgotten family secret, pick up the KR Gothic Prison Tileset!
Seek out a bog witch, follow muddy paths between deep waters, and find cozy cabins to rest in after a long day of tracking monsters in the fog with the KR Haunted Swamp Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with another MV/MZ-sized tileset to help you create new locations for your heroes to explore. A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 tiles along with 4 B sheets offer up a bunch of natural ground options and plants and rocks to make mazes of swampland between winding rivers and wooden building walls and roofs so small houses can be found deep in supposedly empty bogs. Have your heroes wander between cattails and partially submerged rocks topped with bushy plants in search of useful items, and let them cross deep water by stepping on wooden bridges, stepping stones, and even giant lily pads! When your heroes need to take a break and recover, let them retreat to small thatch-roof huts scattered throughout the swamps to rest in simple beds while their clothes dry out on clothes lines.
And if that wasn’t enough, each tile comes in 3 variations (normal, desaturated gray, and muddy brown) so you can shift the mood of the area simply by switching out tilesets! Warn your players that an area will contain stronger monsters by switching from bright green ferns and pink lotus flowers to desaturated versions, or swap those out completely and replace them with twisted dead tree trunks. This pack also includes 4 fog images to help give your swamp a mysterious vibe and 10 character sprites for wispy flames, openable barrels and crates, wooden doors, and waterfall mist to add more movement to your maps. Pick up the KR Haunted Swamp Tileset and create mystical lotus-filled waterways and small villages that sit on wooden docks over muddy water for your heroes to visit!
Send your heroine into a creepy mansion where the walls have eyes and time shifts between every room with the KR Haunted House Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is here with another spooky tileset sized for MV and MZ, ready to help you build a spooky mansion with cobweb-filled libraries, a house of horror where prepared meals lay rotting on kitchen tables, an overgrown garden locked behind spiked iron fences, and more! 2 A2, 2 A3, 2 A4, and 14 B sheets offer a bunch of decorations and walls to create multiple versions of the same map! Have your heroine enter a manor’s living room where a glowing chandelier lights up comfy couches and a delicious-looking cake on a wooden table, and suddenly shift it to the dark and destroyed version of the map when lightning flashes outside. Confound your players by switching between the different sets each time they enter a new room until they start to doubt their own memory, or have the destruction happen gradually with each painting and statue being replaced with a ruined version as the story progresses.
This pack also includes 4 parallax images to add some spooky fogs to your maps, and 40 object character sprites to help your heroine explore the manor, add some movement to your rooms, and unlock helpful items! Let your players pull on a switch that’s hidden as a normal candlestick to open up a secret door tucked behind a bookcase, or keep things simple with wooden doors that match the rest of the map’s lighting. Set up treasure chests against any wall, and have curtains billow and move in front of cracked windows to draw players’ eyes away from rats scurrying around in the corners of the room. Not sure how to use all of the creepy animations? Then open up the included MV and MZ projects to see how they can be set up! Pick up the KR Haunted House Tileset and give your players gorgeous and horrific houses to search while trying to escape a nightmare!
Give your game’s vampire lord a fitting throne with the KR Legendary Palaces - Vampire Tileset! Kokoro Reflections is back with another entry in their Legendary Palaces series, this time giving us a selection of spooky tiles to build a dungeon where ghouls serve their masters and an iron tang fills the air.

A1, A2, A4, A5, and B tiles are ready to help you make all the gray, black, and red rooms your dungeon could need. Have your heroes follow a black cobble path through a maze of gray floors and tiled red walls to reach the dungeon’s main room where the vampire boss rests comfortably on a plush red throne with outstretched wings, or trick your heroes with marked paths that lead deeper and deeper into the dungeon where bloodstains cover the floor and a crudely drawn heart drips down the wall before a wave of battles starts. Use marble stairs and carved ladders to traverse different floors, and help your heroes keep track of where they have been with different statues of vampires for each floor. When it’s time to finally leave the nightmarish red rooms, have a glowing magic circle appear on the floor for a quick escape. This pack also includes character sprites for flickering flames to light hallways and an ornate red and gray treasure chest where your heroes may find a useful item to help them stop the vampire threat! If you’ve been needing a creepy dungeon for your heroes to explore or want a bright throne room for your vampire main character to call home, check out the KR Legendary Palaces - Vampire Tileset!

Jolt your players into action with the sharp alarm beat of ‘Emergency’ as they need to decide if they’ll stand and fight or flee with the info they already gathered, and have them stand tall against their final foe with the mix of warbling techno and piano from ‘Fate’. And when all is said and done, let your players take a moment to remember all they fought for and all they lost while the sharp notes of ‘Sad Song’s music box ring out.
Each track comes in M4a and looping Ogg file formats so you can easily add them to your MV/MZ projects, or use them in your favorite engine! If you’ve been looking for some dark tunes to fit your game’s story or just need to add a bit of danger to a spooky area, check out the Mystery RPG Music Pack!
