Dalph's MZ stuff (Traditional Japanese + Vintage Tiles) Latest Update: RPG ICONS!!!!

[Dalph]

Welcome to Dalph's MZ stuff!
Enjoy your stay.
“Don't stare at the TV for too long. “Eat your veggies.”
​

I've been a member here for almost a decade and I never shared a single resource, well I had the excuse that back then I couldn't draw, at all, so there's that. Ok, I was just selfish. Anyway, I've been practicing pixel-art a lot in the latest couple of years, and there's my brother too on Twitter who is pretty much a God of Pixels and a lot better than me, so things have changed.

There aren't many things in this thread yet, but I will keep adding eventually, maybe...hopefully...
These tiles are mostly traditional japanese things but there's also some vintage stuff, everything is made from scratch with Aseprite and it's 100% pixel-art.
The resources don't fit perfectly with the MZ\MV RTP tiles but at the same time, they doesn't clash with them either. I think they're good enough if you're not finicky. Hopefully they will be useful for someone.

EDIT: Added a basic set of RPG icons in a much more bright, colorful and lighthearted art style! The icons aren't that many, but they are enough to cover a full short RPG game!
More will be added in future if I find the time.

Not for use in Porn, NFTs and AI. Don't conquer the World with it and don't put Ralph from RPG Maker VX into it.

Thanks. Enjoy.

Thanks to @TESTOSTERONE for giving me the vintage phone idea.
Thanks to @Candacis for her encouragement.
Thanks to everyone else who commented in my latest Profile Feed.

Crap, I was gonna make an 18+ game with NFT's, using AI to make Ralph from VX.
Sigh, such is life.....

 

[TESTOSTERONE]

Hahaha, well first, the art is damn amazing and I definitely got the Samurai Japan vibe from it.
Second, the little how-to-use segments are brilliant. Frigging black and white TV showing the colored gem, bwahahahaha.

Man, tough stipulations though:

don't put Ralph from RPG Maker VX into it.

 

[Dalph]

@TRIDIUM
It's still fine, because you're not trying to conquer the world with it.

@TESTOSTERONE
Thanks man! Feel free to put anything into that tv, except Ralph.
Ralph: Why??? What did I ever do to you? I want to go inside as well. Both Harold and Reid were allowed to enter...
...
EDITED the first post.
I added a wall tile, stairs and rock floor, all pixel-art.



Look! You can actually make houses now!

Spoiler: House Example

Harold: Therese...there is nothing here.

Therese:We just bought it. What did you expect?

 

[Candacis]

I like the clean style and I think it looks very nice. Hope you make some more things for it.
My favorite is still the vintage tv

 

[Dalph]

@Candacis
Thanks a lot!
Eventually the thread will be full of resources covering both the themes (Traditional Japanese and Vintage), I will also add Medieval Fantasy at some point.
All of this will take me a long time but it's a goal I set.
Will also update existing resources to make them better quality, because I'm sure I will improve with time.

 

[Ms Littlefish]

Ooooeee, look atcha Dalph! Your first resource thread! Glowing up more and more.
Hard for me to pick favorites. I’m rather in love with them all.

 

[Dalph]

@Ms Littlefish



I added a sliding door in the first post.
It's into "Characters" because that's where it will go in your game's folder.

 

[TESTOSTERONE]

Ooooh the sliding door is exquisite. Now we can totally make persona-style games!

 

[Dalph]

@TESTOSTERONE


Here I am with more stuff.
What's being added:

You can make your own tables now.
I also reformatted a lot of objects so they actually looks nice ingame, touch the walls, and don't follow the annoying 48x48 grid. Except for the autotile tables of course, you cannot do that with them.

Spoiler: Example Screenshot (same posted in my latest Profile Feed)

Some things show in here aren't added to the tileset yet, like the Wooden A4 Wall (still work in progress) and the new variation of the sliding door. Will probably add them in the next post or so.

Spoiler: And here's a really stupid Screenshot I desperately had to do.

Priscilla: All work and no play, makes Reid a dull boy.

Reid: YES.

 

[CCCreations]

Love it all! So nice to see more content! Keep up the great work!

 

[Dalph]

@CCCreations
Glad you like it. Thank you so much.

Here I am again with more things.
What's being added:

The small table is meant to be for the vintage tv, since the beloved tv doesn't have its own decent table, I figured I should've made a quick one.
If you don't put the tv on the top of it and just place the empty table against a wall, it might look weird, because it's meant to be for this specific use and nothing else.
Basically just don't put the empty table against any wall, it will look weird and misplaced. Empty table but "far" from walls will still look ok in any circumstance.

EDIT:
Scratch that bs above, I'm just tired, lol.
Everything is properly rearranged now. The tv has been moved down in the tileset, near its own table though. Of course you're free to edit\rearrange the table and place what you want on it once you're done, but its original purpose is just for the tv.

 

[Dalph]

Yo.

What's being added:

 

[TESTOSTERONE]

I wonder what you are cooking up with all these tiles you are making.

 

[Dalph]

I wonder what you are cooking up with all these tiles you are making.

When there will be enough stuff done, I will make something with it, probably a short and sample game just to showcase the resources.

 

[Candacis]

Looking good, you could make a free-standing ladder with what you already have.

 

[Dalph]

Looking good, you could make a free-standing ladder with what you already have.

Thank you! I was thinking about the same, haha. Will add more ladder variations eventuallly, including long and short free-standing.

What's also being added:

Quick example map.

I think I'll have to post my custom sprite template soon, it's quite old but it fits a loooooooooooot better with my tiles than the balloonhead MV\MZ RTP sprites (which look a bit too big near some objects).

 

[Dalph]

Yo.

What's new:

The trees are not 100% perfect...yet, still trying to figure out how to properly align them in the annoying 48x48 grid without extra\duplicate parts for the corners, they will also need an additional shadow eventually, but they are mostly OK and already get the job done. Will come back to them for sure because I'm finicky.

Example Map:

Happy Enough(?) Little Trees. Bob Ross Senpai up there should be at least 1\4 proud.

 

[TESTOSTERONE]

Awww that’s amazing that they loop so well

You have finished the trees before bed
But a query emerged in my head
With trees being so friendly
And Reid being so manly
Why not use a blonde girl instead?

 

[Dalph]

No blonde girl, because Reid was too creepy,
All the girls were hiding, behind the trees so steepy.
Their eyes were bright, their smile so wide,
But Reid's gaze made their heart hide.
He searched for a friend, but they all declined,
For his presence made them feel so aligned.
The trees stood tall, their branches strong,
A shelter from Reid's prying eyes all day long.

Reid: Girls, I was hanging out by your windows last night playing Pokemon Go...and I got Peekatchu!!!
