  1. I'd like to throw some ideas into the wish pool!
    Maybe a bit niche, but how about some spa tilesets? Wooden soaker tubs, comfy tables, aromatherapy candles, lil oil bottles, and those ubiquitous nature wall art scrolls spas seem to have in bulk!
    You can blend together RTP and online assets to make a kind of spa, but having one unified collection for it would be amazing!

    Looking forward to this year's advent calendar :kaothx:
  2. What are you planning to do with those @Cythera ?
  3. Dear Santa,
    Could ya make aquarium tile set in the RPG Maker VX Ace DS style?
    Bit of a tall order, I know. :kaoswt:

    A painting on the wall is not appropriate for every setting, so perhaps some mounted trophies. PandaMaru did a couple several years ago for VXAce.

    I personally have only ever seen wine glasses and glass tankards for beer. (That could just be me missing the obvious.) It would be nice to have some wooden tankards for less wealthy settings (then I could replace the ones I have made with something which I'm sure will be much better looking).

    Again thinking of poorer or more rural settings, a kitchen sink made of stone would be a great addition to the standard metal one. Nekura did one some years ago, but it's for VXAce so the sizing is off.
    This sounds intriguing! Can you show an example? I think I know what you are talking about but like they say.. a picture is worth a thousand words!! the more detail the better you know!
  5. I think I already made requests, but I can't remember. Regardless, selfishly, I would propose the following:

    Each D&D dice with each face of the die showing as an asset. So the D4 with the 1, 2, 3, & 4. The D6 with the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6. Similarly for the D8, D10, D12, D20, and the percentile die. (Not sure if anyone besides me would want that though.)

    More side facing assets. There can never be enough.

    But honestly, anything you want to make because I love all your assets.

    Oh wait! Remember the teddy bears? A similar stuffy but a SNORLAX would be the bomb! (Probably not of much use for an in game asset though.)
  6. To be honest: there can't be too many suggestions, since this is more of an inspiration dump you can add as many things as you like. I mean, there is no guarantee one of the calendar guys takes something from each post, but if is really helpful to get a feeling for what the people in the community would be happy about :)
  7. Anything that would fit a dock or harbor area - lots of stuff still missing for those imo

    Anything pirate and desert themed. Both also not the most seen tho there has been a rise in desert resources

    Other then that anything from a non standaard era (like the 20's and 30's wink wink) lol
  8. I just realized that we're sorely missing insect-sized hero ressources. I mean, tilesets with grass as trees, big insects sprites (would double as giant insects sprites if used with normal-sized resources), this kind of things.
  9. They are not exactly default style, but maybe those help you out if you plan to have something like that in your game:
    Tree Trunk Tileset especially the MV set there:

    or the giant veggies by green pocket:

    Hello folks!

    For now around ten years, I make a resource advent calendar for the maker community, filled with various fun resources and a lot of amazing people have chimed in in the last years!

    Now the whole point of such an calendar is to make the dark time of the year brighter and to bring the joy that we hopefully all can connect to this festive season. And while some of the other people and I tend to ask for your wishes and suggestions in our profile posts and resource threads, I thought it might be more fruitful to create a thread for them so they are kinda collected in one place, easier accessible for you guys and to accumulate inspirations and ideas?

    So what is okay?
    Virtually anything you would love to see - just maybe consider that more doable stuff is more likely to be done ;D

    Maybe you have some reference images of certain things you would love to see in tileform or you just wished for a certain type of characters or icons or...

    Just be aware that this is a place where you can drop inspiration and wishes, not the place to demand something or a place where you are super likely to get what you want. Basically treat it like a letter to Santa and hope for the best ;D
    The kinder you are to Santa, the more likely he delivers you the gift you asked for ;D
    Ooooh, i would love some dystopian tidbits, like ruins but modern, high key grateful for your contributions here avy, thanks for everything.
  11. I would love more animated SV battlers for animals to match some of the walking sprites made by some of the talented and creative users on this forum!
  12. More snowy things for the MZ would be nice. For example plants, stones, branches, a snowy grass like this:

    This tree trunk in 4 directions:

  13. It is just one and a half month til december starts and maybe some of you got some more wishes and ideas that you have not mentioned yet!
  14. I know you’re quite skilled at the iconography as well and have tackled things like modular icon sets for equipment. What about something like modular skill icons?

    Off the top of my head, the ability to pick a weapon icon base, and then pick from the different elements or status ailments. Perhaps some indicators for multi-hit, AoE, etc.

    Not sure about the feasibility of it due to space constraints but just thought I’d throw it out there.
  15. Random ideas:
    • An extendable aquarium ... like an A4 tile for a giant water tank or something to put fishies in.
    • A modular way to make very tall trees, kinda like Tonbi did.
    • Generator lips we can actually change the color of! (in GIMP, at least). It drives me insane how difficult it is to give lips any fullness or color beyond the existing thin, black lines.
    • A starry or glittery path that isn't excessively blocky.
  16. A rhino, as it's surprisingly one of the few animals I wasn't able to find a sprite of.
  17. Hi Avery. I would like to offer up my suggestions:

    - Pirates. A Captain with a Pirate hat and a wooden leg. Maybe an eyepatch - typical stuff. You can give him some thugs to go with it.
    Maybe you can do a parrot as well. "Squawk! Walk the plank, walk the plank!"

    Playground Tiles - Swingset, Slide, whole Nine yards.

    Thanks for whatever you do though!
  18. I think something cool would be musical instrument weapon sprites for a bard class! Maybe a couple of different harp/lyre versions or a lute or guitar type thing. Or a flute/ocarina? (Would there have to be an accompanying battle pose/animation for playing each instrument? )
    I really appreciate all the hard work you do for the community!
