Avy's MZ Stuff

Because I am using animated battlers, I haven't yet found a use for the static ones, though I have had a thought about a possible future use. I have used the emo set for Monster 6 and I will use the emo set for Evil 3.

My use of Evil 3 will be pretty standard, but monster 6 I've used in a slightly unusual way. In my games you can save anywhere, but I also provide save points at key moments. I have used a variety of ways of representing them in previous games, because I don't want to use crystals. This time I have Monster 6. For what she considers the most minor breech of protocol she's been sentenced to 500 years of being helpful. She is finding this agonising. She was assigned to the Archivists Association which keeps track of Adventurers so that their stories are not lost. I have called her simply the Demon Archivist. It's fun working on her relationship with our Heroes, whom she doesn't think are heroes at all.

I think part of the lack of response is that people have become less likely to actively hunt around on the off chance that they might see something they hadn't thought of or didn't know existed. I also think that people who looked at the defaults and thought they were wonky (which a lot of them were) won't think of looking again to see if anything has changed.

I've noticed that Profile Posts have become much more image dominated than they used to be. (I do wish people would post their maps in Game & Map Screenshots so that proper feedback can be given. But perhaps they don't want, or are anxious about, feedback.) I just wonder if a post there with each new battler might alert more people to the fact that they even exist.

True Story...

I thought: Hey, if I make some emotions for the Agent Bust I did about half a year ago I have another character fully done! Great, something quick that might make people happy.

Then I realised I used Actor1_3 as base, so with "just" some fiddly adjustments he could have those emotions, too!

...and SF_Actor1_3 of course as well, even though that guy of course has slightly different colors and a different default expressions.

So what started as "Hey let me draw some emotions" turned into a looooong time of adjusting them for three similar yet different characters x_x Welp. The other two already had emotions, but now they have more I guess?
And while it ate way too much time, I am glad I made the emotions for all three because most of the eye work is just kinda wasted on the agent and his glasses xD

Because they are so many files, I put the busts under a spoiler.

That sounds really fun! Do you have an example shot of how she interacts with them? And have all the "default" characters you use as of now an emoset?
I could see a use for battlers in a monsterbook or similar, where the player gets extra information, and the static battler could be like a bonus artwork there. Or any kind of in-game book probably?

I'll try and rustle up a screenshot or two, but at the moment I'm in fierce hand-to-hand combat with a game crashing bug.

So far the only default characters I'm using are Monster 6 and Evil 3.

There was a resource request that kinda sparked more than what was asked for :3

There are not many poses and flavour things for modern games, and I loved the idea of having someone vacuum the flat in the background.
First, we have said item so you can place it in a corner if not in use (and even without the animation already add a little extra to that map):

And now, with some editing work, it can be picked up and used to get aaaall the dirt from your map's floor!

I recommed using two sheets, one walking and one just vacuuming, and switch between depending on whether the character is standing or changing position.


And here are the parts of the vacuum cleaner, an example on how it can be placed on female bases, a complete version, one that goes in the back and one that goes on top:

You can also use the guy above as reference if you want to edit it onto one of your characters ;3

I love this style of furniture. It's very beautiful and has an elegant feel to it. I'd love to see a table to go with it. :)

From your high class dining room to your fancy restaurant to your regular family who splurged on a fancy centerpiece, the "Ex-armor rack"-Set has been expanded by a table of any size you might need and to ensure everyone gets a seat with sideway chairs :3
Enjoy!

A table which can properly be tiled to a variety of sizes is not common, so thank you very much for this. Also for the sideways chairs. It is impossible to have too many of those.

Slowly but surely the What the RTP list is filling up :3
At least to the point where noone wants to touch the remaining stuff xD

Today I got and Emoset for People4_5. Somehow he is one of those characters that forget they exist until I open the folder and take a closer look.
And that is a shame because he is so versatile! He might be an elderly druid or priest, but he also could be a merchant or buisnessman, a mayor or a librarian or...
Bascially the perfect quest giver, which makes it fitting to give him a set of expressions to be able to show the party what he feels about his problems or their service so far ;D

Also, advent is eventually coming, and I know that not only I am up for it. Announcing it that early gives me the time to ensure I can make enough resources to fill 24 posts with content I am happy with (and you hopefully are, too!)
As every year, you are very open to leave wishes and suggestions!

So @ZombieKidzRule said that this was a very crucial resource anyone needs for their game, so I made it:

I CAN NOW MAKE THE GAME OF MY DREAMS.
Also, I love the chonky tabby one in the middle that’s all “dis my box.”

What I find amazing is the way you've managed to give each cat a distinct personality with so few pixels.

I was looking through the requests and wishes for last year's calendar and saw that @Tigerawr had been wishing for an emoset for the default princess. To not have him waiting another 6 months, I will release her today ;3

If you have wishes and suggestions, please leave them here. It helps immensly if I (and I guess the other artists feel the same) know what the people would love to see and sometimes you guys have amazing ideas that would not have come to my mind ;3

Something that was not made for the calendar and a part is already released in the requests, here are some new modern A2 tiles :3

Just a quick update with something I made for a request today: a raft battleback

Another resource request happened, for this you have to own VX ACE, since it is based/edited from the default ghost there!

As I do own Ace, I shall walk away chuckling.
Thank you.

@Avery Ohhh I missed the vx ace sprite! I often use the ace battlers still, so I really appreciate having mv/mz versions of them. Hmm this might be a great thing to expand on for this year's advent, if you're looking for ideas. :)

For anyone who wants to add a household appliace jousting or a electronics racing cometeting to your game, here are the microwave sprites you'll need:

Thanks a lot!

Sorry, People2_4!
With advent keeping me busy as of now, I wanted to at least make something I can release before I continue with the secret stuff ;3
