Ancient India RTP

[ErinPrimette]

I feel like Ancient India and Hindu mythology have been neglected by the RTP, especially the sprites and tilesets.

Granted, RPGMaker MZ is my main stay, so I'd like to see some buddies here fix the lack of RTP tilesets for Ancient India by making some when you guys have the free time. It all ranges to the architecture, furniture, foods, tools and even the people. We can even include some Hindu mythology elements while we're at it.

Putting some examples into a spoiler might help those who are able to do such things get a feel for what you're after.

I did find a Wikipedia on India. Is that acceptable as a start? I'm still looking for image references.

Also, I was told looking up India on Google Earth might be helpful in the location department.

Adding some vids on India on my quest to research it for the sake of RPGMaker:

May also be a good idea to look at Bollywood for how Indians portray their own ancient India. I don't speak from an Indian perspective but I have a feeling there's a lower chance of objections being raised for inaccurate or unintentionally disrespectful portrayals
