Hello!

I have set out to make a commercial game, and since a lot of people feel bad about RTP, I decided to try to stray from it as much as

possible.

I saw the game You Are Not A Hero and the creator had made a post giving advice to people starting out and stating that it's probably better to use other tilesets.

But are there more tilesets available to buy than those in the official store? (most of them are for really chibi characters,and I want to use

2 blocks tall characters)

Aren't there any more tilesets we can buy?

In my opinion, the best-looking tall sprites and tiles are PVGames' High-Fantasy-Packs which are also available in the store.


However, they are incompatible with any other graphics set and can't be mixed, so you're limited to what PVGames already has available (currently a Steampunk/Wildwest pack is in the works).


Other than that, you'll have to look through the internet - mack tiles might be an alternative, but I never looked where those are.

Oh!

I hadn't seen it.Thanks!

But I notice now that the Mack packs are for VX...Can I use them in Ace?

If someone else knows any other tilesets that fit the medieval fantasy theme(not western style) tell me.

Mack resources are outside RPG Maker and can even be used on Non-RM engines. When they said VX it means formatted for RMVX (which RMVXA has the same format of).

you could also opt to commission your own tilesets, but that will most of the time cost more...

I see...Well if i can afford it maybe i'll try...if Mack tiles doesn't work ot

It seems like straying from the RTP is rule number 1 for a Rpg maker 

commercial game...

Are there any successful commercial games heavy in RTP?

not really... it could still be successful if it's really good... though if ur looking for getting it thru Steam, expect lots of bash for an RTP looking game... maybe even expect it to not pass greenlight... unless you have lots of buddies on that crowd...

Yes I know about greenlight...This is the reason I wanna change almost ALL my graphics,so people won't say

"rtp graphics!!!" and downvote everything.

Haha I don't know anyone in that community...I don't even have an account.I always buy physical copies!

Bah,I think I'll try a kickstarter campaign once I'll have enough work done.

Now that i think of it can I make a kickstarter from Greece?

I can't seem to find any info about that...

There are alternatives to Kickstarter that you can use in other countries. I'm just not at my computer, and those alternatives aren't coming to me right now.

they probably have a front that lives in those countries... or they do now live in those countries


EDIT: I looked at some of them, some are projects to be done in greece... so the leads are probably living in the countries supported by KS, and the projects are just to be implemented in greece...


as for some, it's probably the other idea I said... I forgot where I read about that, but it seems like all you need is somebody who is a citizen of those places...

i see...well I'll figure it out once I reach that point...

I'll try to contact some of these people. one of them has made an arcade racing game.Looks fun.

By the way, indiegogo is probably the best alternative.

Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
