Pop! Horror City, Sci-Fi Battlers (and more)

[starcrescendo]

What should our talented artists and musicians work on next?

So many good ideas. Where to start?

1. OK first, how about something that is really lacking in RTP: monster charactersets? There's a lot of battlers out there, but rarely any matching characterset. So how about a set of matching battlers with their charactersets?
2. How about a steampunk-inspired (VXA-styled) tileset complete with big gears and clocks and such.
3. Or a forest-tileset-building hybrid tileset for creating a city built within a tree or deep in the forest?
4. Or a candyland inspired tileset for exteriors and interiors? Something really unique.
5. Or a cloud-based tileset with buildings made our of clouds?

I love the resources that exist, and I love the theme styles like samurai, sci-fi, etc. But a lot of them aren't super creative or out of the box with the tiles they give (which I get since they are trying to appeal to everyone's use scenario). But I'd like to see some packs that take a gamble and can be used for niche areas such as the sci-fi tileset having massive supercomputers and big test tubes, or a forest tile with big giant mushrooms. Just please make them fit into the VX Ace RTP (or one of the RTPs).

Entry: I think that what musicians should work on is various ethnic music, but have it be more atmospheric.  I have fallen in love with atmospheric music over the last couple of years.  I would love to hear various influence like Norse, Asian (Korean, even Japanese), maybe even something unique like Native American music for wild west sort of games.

I am a bit late but deadline is still not expired

I think Vexed Enigma should work on a Mana/Gem Dungeon pixel tiles, featuring variety of crystal pillars, mana potions with different sizes and some trees with crystals growing on them too, and a talented musician should also work on matching musics for the dungeon pixel tiles!


This is just my suggestion and it is unique to everyone too so not everyone will agree with me

Ah man, that Samurai Music pack will work so well with the graphics pack released years ago.

Entry: I think the staff should work on an area not commonly done yet... Maybe ancient Rome themed resources? There's a few straggling sprites for that but nothing to make a game with. I would love to see Ancient Roman knight battlers, roman music, and most of all tilesets. It just seems like a theme that would've been done quite a bit by now.

That is an easy one. They need to work on more DS stuff. The DS stuff is great but lacking in many areas.

15% discount!! OMG gotta have to buy something, SOMETHING!

Question: What should our talented artists and musicians work on next?

Answer: Learn from your comrade: PVgames. She is making something called generator pieces that could be just photoshopped into any character! Don't understand what I mean? Take a look at Dead of Alive resource pack. If she can make it, then it is high-time that anime style character have something she made!

 

[Paladin-Cleric of Awesome]

OMG! ZOMBIE PACK!

(I may be a little obssessed with zombies right now due to reasons involving a new iPpad and a running game) Love, love love!

As to what our muscial artists and graphical artists should work on next? How about a collaboration effort on Ancient Greece. I mean, we have Gods, Goddesses, heroes, kings, slaves, wars, peace, amazons, centaurs, minotaurs, etc. One thing I will suggest, A HUGE SPRITE SET, with lots of different civillians and monsters and heros, no facesets required, just a whole lotta sprites!

Wow that tiles pack look neat. I don't think I can use it now, but I have to find a use for it somehow

What should our talented artists and musicians work on next?

For music, I would love to see more music with vocals. Perhaps it can be done with Vocaloid or an actual singer. I would love to see it happen. And more voice packs would be neat (battle voice pack, laughing / grumbling, other common voices). 

For graphic, I will accept with open hand anymore tilesets in RTP format. There will never be shortages for tilesets. More tilesets mean I can more diverse maps in my game, and that's great. 

 

[Mimironi]

Ohh I really like the adventure music.

I think more pixel themed tiles could be nice. I've only seen one set from what I know.

Audio... we need more sound effects! It's a weird thing to say, but thinking about it, default sounds can only go so far x-x

I think more pixel themed tiles could be nice. I've only seen one set from what I know.

We have 4 different pixel styles for tile packs in the store right now, 2 of which have multiple packs/add-ons.

 

[Kes]

Great selection.  

To work on next:

• Animated side view battlers in RTP style (i.e. not High Fantasy style)
• Battle animation sheets
• Larger scale graphics.  Someone earlier on mentioned Benben trees as an example, but it's not just trees, though those would help, it's shrines, imposing buildings that are not turreted castles, things to which one could genuinely apply the adjective "soaring".

 

[Crazetex]

I'm all for a proper RTP extension with new fantasy settings.

Mostly though, I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE more skill animations (especially if they fit with the RTP, that or they were meant to replace the RTP but were like 2x the size). Bonus points if they come set up in a sample project! I'd gladly drop $15+ for that.

 

[AcosmicDevi]

For both graphics and music, I would like to see African-themed tilesets, characters, battlers and background music. Africa is the second largest continent with 54 countries, but all I see are Egyptian tiles, art, et al. It would be awesome to see more diversity in this particular area.

 

[felsenstern]

Cyberpunk / Cyberspace / Tron / Shadowrun / Bladerunner Setting and if possible also a large Airship (like in Skyborn) ;-)

 

[Razelle]

With the Golden Week sale, the glorious tiles by Vexed are just under 13 bucks. That's simply amazing compared to what's in it. For those with limited art abilities and beyond, there's both multiple body types of sprite and face bases to work off of.

Not convinced yet? Check out a small inkling of what the tiles can do:

Very much worth it imo. And my entry:

What should our talented artists and musicians work on next?

More undead pixel battlers. Lunarea's pack has a few of them I hear, so I'll probably get that sometime soon, but there's no such thing as too many zombies, especially with the Pop: Horror City release. More gun icons would be cool too.

As for music; some horror themed battle music would be awesome. Bonus points for combining horror with rocking tunes to get you pumped while you fight off various creatures that go bump in the night.

 

[ebonyazrael]

Another fancy packs, yay!

I especially liked the samurai music pack. I must buy it when I make samurai game.

About entry:

Graphic:

I'd like to see a pack contains battlers and battle backs in a same style. You know, there are many good battler packs, but sometimes they don't look right because their style is too different from the style of battle backs. So, it's great to see some packs overcome this matter

Musics and sounds:

Fantasy but traditional sounds. I mean, something goes well with myths. Perhaps something like polka. I especially want Nordic or Slavic sounds, since I like those sounds...

Also, for sound effects, I'd like to buy if there is a pack contains variety of daily sounds.

Personally, I want more awesome fantasy dungeon sets. If I build an ice cavern, I'd like a ton of tiles to decorate with. Or a fire pit, I'd like little effects were they jump out of the lava, (I mean images that can be used in an event.) I'd just like a huge upgrade for existing fantasy dungeon types. Epic music to go with it too, and little sound effects.

If option 1 is not available, how about screen effects? Transitional themes, map overlays, etc.

I agree with Crazetex - Skill animations are sorely missing, I'd love a pixel set.

@Razelle - There's some pixel battlers in the DS+ set, zombies included, and a few have been released through member+. If you scale them 2x to match the double pixels they work quite nicely with Pop!HC

To participate, please answer the following:

Would love to see a pack of premade animations (and the underlying cells) be sold.  This kind of thing would apply to almost all games and would alleviate a lot of the "sameness" that a lot of RPG Maker games have.  It could be sold in the same way as Luna Engine, as an unencrypted project file that you can copy/paste the animations out of.

Additionally, given how popular the Big Icons (Lunarea's, I think?  Could be wrong) were during the holiday giveaway, that might be something that could be made into a popular commercial pack.  In general, I think it would be great to have more icons available.

 

[Ravens]

It'll be Great or Golden Goodies ...

1. Night Vampire , with Slim character and Modern Faces

2. Medieval War, with Retro character and old/funny face maybe...

3. Trap, More Dungeon,Executioner,

4. More Monster Packs (Side View).and Animated battler
