"The Collection from Beyond". Lurk over at TigSource is working on one really interesting project for their Inspired by Cthulhu contest. It's essentially a hidden object game, but with Cthulhu monstrosities that emerge into the photos if you aren't fast enough. Check out his amazing concept/gameplay art!

Beach Decorations

These are tiles intended to be added to your beach or water dungeon areas.

Try to leave some of your story unexplained. The player's imagination can fill in the blanks in a much more interesting way than you could.

Light Palace

This is another of the dungeon/town area tilesets used in LHA.

Up & Coming

I've been working hard this past week on a new feature for LHA. The full game will now have outdoor areas that act as optional giant dungeons/quest areas along the way to the real destinations.

Ancient Abode

More tiles! These are another set of buildings, used often in LHA. I'll post a follow-up later with additional resources I made for this dungeon set.

Dev Advice

Can't think of ideas (for anything)? Try a generator! I used them extensively in the creation of the game I made all these resources for.

Moldy Hall

Another dungeon set for you, however I suppose you could use it for regular buildings. This one is seen quite a bit in LHA.

Every door doesn't need to be locked with a key or guards who tell the player to shove off. Try to think of creative ways to bar the player's passage from areas.

Swampy Decorations

New tiles for you to use in any sort of swamp area. Enjoy!

Dev Advice

Try to use unique or interesting sound effects instead of the usual selections. You'd be surprised how much of a difference that can make to someone's opinion of your game.

Wall pillars

Today's new tile resources is decorations for your walls. These are to be used in one or two dungeons, to separate areas of the wall from each other. Note: This is three tiles high! The bottom one only has a small amount of space taken and is intended to be passable.

Play Something

Aërendyll has created an interesting pirate-themed game called "Walking the Plank". You can try it's early demo and find out more information on his message board post at one of the RMVX fansites.

Dungeon staircases

Some new tiles for you today. These can replace the default steps by turning them into wall/door type stairwells. I've used them quite liberally in LHA and made several edits to suit most tilesets.

Dev Advice

Try to implement some more unique spellsets. Damage spells that only vary between the elements and the animation aren't very interesting. You can also add some that affect the dungeon/map areas themselves instead of all combat based.

New entrances

Why settle for the regular cracks, doors & the mine entrance for all of your areas? Today's resource is some new versions of them. Tomorrow will have different sets of dungeon staircases as well.

Inside of a tree

Today's resource is another I made for LHA. Some of the dungeons in a forest take place within the trees themselves. Enjoy!

You don't need to stick to standard RPG conventions. Why have the usual volcano, forest, ice cave, dark castle style dungeons when you can put them into places like giant seashells?

Red Daze

Another dungeon tileset for when you need something unique.

Your RMVX scripts will generally all be compatible with each other if the writer aliases everything and doesn't drastically change the way commands work.

Crystal Forest

One area of LHA was surprisingly tough to design weeks ago. The goddess of magic gave up her seat to become a mortal, but what would happen to the spells that required her power?

I eventually decided to make some of the warped magic have the effect of crystallizing things it touches, another area is always under a constant barrage of elemental effects in opposition with each other.

Dev Advice

Stuck thinking of names? Try looking for baby names or one of those generators! Most of the time you just get random garbage, but they could be useful or help inspire you to come up with your own.

Snowy Mountain

This is an edited version of the default mountain tileset we have in Rpg Maker VX. It's for use in a snow covered area, and works well with some of the regular winter tiles we were provided.

The mountain works best if you have some sort of falling snow tiles to sprinkle along the wall on the second layer.

Hey! You over there!

If you find these resources helpful, please tell your friends! The blog isn't getting many visitors right now & I'd rather spend my time drawing more stuff than promoting it. :)

Secondary dungeon

Today's new resource is yet another dungeon tileset for you folks. This one isn't suited for any particular theme... if you want something different, this could be it!

I'm not even sure what it's supposed to be, but it does look quite nice. Try to think of a fun way to use it! May or may not find it's way into LHA, possibly just as a mini-dungeon. :)

Dev Advice

Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals used the same few selections of dungeon tiles in almost every area. Players still loved it, you won't need special art for everywhere if the game you're creating is good enough.

New ice cave

Tired of the usual RMVX ice dungeons? Need a cave for a snowy area? You're in luck. These frosty caverns will be seen in LHA, and if you click the link below, the game you're creating can have them too. No floor tiles yet unfortunately.

Recreating scenes from some of your favorite games is a great way to practice. Practically anything on the Super Nintendo is easily do-able in the Rpg Maker series of programs.

Slimy dungeon

What sort of dungeon would be filled with tentacles, muckmen, and assorted characters from similar mythos? That's what I was thinking when I made the tileset I'll be giving you today. It's a quick dungeon set you can toss into your RMVX Tile A and use as an autotile.

These were one of the very first sets of custom tiles I made for LHA. I'm a big fan of the "time to crate" method of reviewing games, and tried to use them only in the right situations instead of everywhere.

Today's update is some simple statue tiles for your Rpg Maker VX creations. Enjoy! They could work nicely in a town type setting.
