Maru's MV Bits

Hey Panda, would you happen to have an un-snowified version of the big dead tree from the winter set?

Hey Panda, hope everything is well for you. I'm sure you can tell that you are missed!

Anyone know how to get the water wheel to work? 

Add "!$" in front the name and set the move route  custom and to "left -> right -> up -> down" and repeat .  You may need to add wait commands to make it run smooth. 

Thank u for the tilesets :)

COUCHES! CHAIRS oh my god i was literally having a meltdown over the RTP's lack of them on Twitter the other day, thank goodness for you, Maru. You're a life saver, and your tiles are always of such fantastic quality. Thank you so much.

Nice recources!


Had to replace the head of this guy tho, so it would fit my blacksmith's bust image. Hope, that's okay ;o 

Wow.. I have never seen these before, beautiful work!


Ive been out of the loop far too long!

These are fantastic!!  BD


Amazing work!


Do you, by any chance, also have a winter- or autumn-themed version of your A4/B tree edit?  :)

I do hope nothing is wrong with Pandamaru. Beautiful tiles btw.

Nothing is wrong with her, she took a break and she was not sure how long it will last.


At least she was alright two weeks ago when we talked for the last time ;)

Oh good. I'm glad she's doing fine. :3

The bakery tiles make me hungry, they look so realistic! :D

Hi there all. I am developing a game I intend to fund partially with Patreon and I have tried to get in contact with Pandamaru, Either through skype, e-mail or this site. I do not yet have a dev blog for the game as I am keeping it under the hood. A significant chunk of the chapter has already been completed however. (About 30%). My plan is to go live with the blog, Patreon and a fully playable chapter 1 at the same time. So far I have received no response via any channels in about a month. Numerous screenshots of the game content can be provided if Pandamaru needs proof I am not just someone starting a project and jumping the gun on permissions. The nature tiles I see here are lovely and I really want to use them. In fact I have .. rather extensively. I am of course planning to credit Pandamaru. But it is stated that I must contact them before using them for commercial use. And to many .. Patreon is commercial. I hope you can all see my dilemma. Personally I am leaning towards just using them anyway and crediting them. But I would really like to get in contact with them and do this in a way that is watertight. I would love it if Pandamaru themselves saw this or if someone at least who they trust more not to be just some random dude off the internet would let them know about this. As I half suspect that my attempts are being ignored because I don't have a website. I am going to try again to message them.


Come to think of it .. they have neither accepted nor denied my skype request. I am honestly A bit worried something might have happened to them. I hope that isn't the case. I could understand if they rejected it. But it seems very strange to have done nothing about it .. maybe they just have a new skype .. hopefully.

@RHachicho As far as i know Pandamaru took a break from rpg maker - i will try to contact her over the german boards and inform her about your problems but i don't know if she's actually active in the german boards or also took a break over there :D


EDIT: Her last post on the german board is from the 24th December - so i'm probably not going to reach her in that way, sorry :(


But i send her an mail anyway, so lets hope the best for you :D

Thank you for your consideration McSundae! It would be a load off my mind to get the A-Ok from her. As removing her assets from the game becomes a greater chore every day. Initially I figured getting in contact wouldn't be too hard. And then well a month happened .. and a lot of development .. and I was like ooooh yeah. PandaMaru still hasn't actually gotten back to me about this XD. I am glad to hear that there is a reason for her absence. In hindsight I really should have read up a few posts. It's seriously aggravating because it has left me at an impasse... On the one hand I want to move forward and use her resources even more and on the other .. I am worried that I am creating a HUGE backlog of map reworking should I be denied permission.


I think at this point I just have to go ahead and use the tiles for the last large map area of the chapter .. and pray to jeebus that She doesn't object XD.

Well - i would recommend to clear those things up before you actually start mapping :D

Well .. yeah .. can't argue there. I just didn't really think I'd have so much trouble contacting her and got wrapped up in development lol. I just wish sometimes that the law was a bit clearer regarding Patreon. As in all honesty I went into this under the assumption that this in NO WAY made the game commercial. Since you are not taking money for the product. Merely asking for investment. However many people seem to disagree with this assumption. I do not .. but .. it's the artist's opinion that matters here I think. There is also the fact that Chapter 1 of the game is going to be distributed gratis as a demo. So In the event of a full on emergency I can just avoid using Pandamaru's stuff in future chapters. As Chapter 1 will have received neither Patreon funding nor be sold. So I *hope* I have my bases covered ..

I had personal contact with Maru today.


Her assets are avaiable for commercial use as long as you follow her terms, aka give her credits for her amazing work.


It is not necessary to ask for her permission for commercial use anymore.

Thanks Avery for getting that information! And if you talk to her again, tell her thank you and that we hope she is well!


I think I'm going to edit her first post with that information.
