Ogedei's Asia Themed Content (Updated: 2019/01/01)

Ogedei · 2016-03-19T12:39:51+0900

I recently got MV and its larger graphics seem to be less of a hassle to edit and hence more enjoyable to work with. There's still a lack of good Asia themed stuff. I'll be adding some new stuff every now and then when I have some free time. Bagua Icons "Bagua" refers to the Eight Trigrams, which symbolize basic aspects of Chinese cosmology. It is also used in Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Tibetan mysticism and martial arts. The symbols from left to right are as follows: the Taiji (the classic yin-yang symbol), Heaven, Wind, Water, Mountain, Earth, Lightning, Fire, Lake. The last two characters are the words for "Magic" and "Martial" (as in Martial Arts). Spoiler Sixiang Icons "Sixiang" are the "Four Symbols" - the Black Warrior (Tortoise-Snake) of the North, White Tiger of the West, Vermilion Bird of the South, and Azure Dragon of the East. Below these four icons I added the Chinese characters for "Water," "Earth," "Fire," and "Heaven." Spoiler East Asian Neon Signs East Asian neon signs with actual East Asian characters. These are modifications of the original signs in the SF_Outside_B tileset in the RTP. It seemed odd that a Japanese company put gibberish instead of actual East Asian scripts. The signs are as follows: top left - hotel (Korean), top right - bar / drinking establishment (Korean), bottom left - "Eastern Restaurant" (Dongfang Fandian [Chinese]), bottom second from left - "Big Dipper Tower" (Beidou Dalou [Chinese]), bottom third from left - "Dragon Garden" (Longyuan [Chinese]), middle right - "Downtown" (Honmachi [Japanese - in katakana script]), bottom right - "Hokkaido" (Japanese - in Kanji script). Spoiler Large Xieshan (Large hip-and-gable roofs for palaces or temples) Spoiler Decorative Artworks A simple addition that can be used for parallax mapping - artworks to add some flavor to a room. In order from left to right and top to bottom: Yongwang taenghwa (Korean portrayal of the dragon king deity), calligraphy of Song Dynasty artist Mi Fu, "Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land" by Goryeo Dynasty painter An Gyeon, three Edo Period Kabuki actor prints by Toshusai Sharaku. Spoiler Korean Palaces Deoksugung 德壽宮 (UPDATED: 2016/07/14) A palace based on the Deoksugung palace complex in Seoul. This is again made purely by scratch and is probably the most difficult pixel art I've ever made so far. This can be added to a Tileset or parallax map. Spoiler *NOTE*: Deoksugung can be used for any project, but you must request permission to use it in a commercial project. Hip-and-gable Tile Roofs Alternate roofs that can be used for any East Asian themed game. They were based on the Korean palace graphics, but generic enough to be used for a Chinese or Japanese themed setting. They are optimized to fit in a tile set. (I just noticed that there's a slight pixel error at the right edge of the bottom one - this can be easily fixed in any image editor.) Spoiler Chinese Buildings Chinese Row House A (1 floor) Spoiler Chinese Row House B (1 floor) Spoiler Chinese Row House C (2 floors) Spoiler Siheyuan Roof A roof for a quadrangle residential compound. Spoiler Contemporary Taiwan Night Market Ceremonial Gateway Spoiler City Signs From Left to Right, Top to Bottom: Highway signs to Taipei and Kaohsiung, Tachung Records sign, "Eight Virtues Tofu," "coffee," "Japanese Ramen" Spoiler Korean Cities and Villages Chogajip (Korean Thatched House) Spoiler Te-u Raft Spoiler Hansik 한식 (Traditional Korean Food) *In order from left to right: Dolsot Bibimbap 돌솟 비빔밥 (bibimbap in a stone pot), Jeongsik 정식 (full traditional meal set with fried mackerel, kimchi side dishes, soup, and rice), Sundubu Jjigae 순두부 찌개 (set with sundubu, rice, and kimchi), Sundubu Jjigae 순두부 찌개 (large pot of sundubu by itself) Spoiler Korean Traditional Furniture Korean traditional furniture and paper window. Spoiler Korean Decorations More Korean decorations with an added bonus of the royal flag of the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392). Spoiler Korean Town Signs Shop signs for your Korean themed towns. In order from top to bottom, left to right: Mugi (Weapons), Musul (Martial Arts), Ssal (Rice), Yak (Medicine), Sauna / Bath House, Jumak (Tavern), Cha (Tea), Sikdang (Restaurant), Buddhist Monastery, Taeguk (Yin-Yang symbol [Korean version]), Samjogo (Three-legged Sun Crow), Lotus Flower, Gungsul (Archery), Sijang (Market), Saju (Fortune Teller) Spoiler Jangseung and Sotdae A pair of Korean totem poles and a Sotdae (spirit messenger bird figure) - the left totem pole is the "Great General Under Heaven" and the right totem pole is the "Great General Under Earth." Spoiler Miscellaneous Market Items In order from left to right (top to bottom): Daikon / Mu / White Radish, Kimchi, Gochujang (Korean chili paste), Pears, Shiitake Mushrooms, Napa Cabbage, Pickling Jar, Fermented Soy Paste, Rice, Barley Grain. Spoiler Ships Spoiler (tileset addition version) (parallax version) Lunar New Year Decorations Chinese Auspicious Words and Phrases From top to bottom, l…

I love this stuff!

Added a "ceremonial gateway" for Night Markets, which Taiwan is famous for. The image is far bigger than the "Chinatown" gate used in the RTP, but I've always thought that the RTP one was too ugly to use. I used the RPGMaker Ace "Samurai" set roof tiles as a template. The roof turned out better than expected in this case. Could be the base for updating my other roof graphics.

Pardon me for asking, but is there a way to make stuff like the xieshan and chogajip into autotiles? I'd love to use them.

They're formatted in multiples of 48x48 tiles, which is the standard in RPG Maker MV tilesets. You can copy and paste them into any tileset of your choice. Having your image editing program set with a grid at 48x48 makes it easier.

I would love to see some Chinese arches and pavilions and stuff like that!

Heya Ogedei, new user here and practically new also to RPG Maker MV. I would just like to ask which tilesets do these all fit into? I saw some like SF_Outside but not all of them have those descriptions. May I know how to differentiate them and where will they fit in? Thank you.

These are made for parallax maps or for copy-and-pasting into existing tilesets. You can do so with any image editor.

I love the work, man. I really enjoy seeing people craft things that are beyond the RPGMaker norms.

I appreciate the work you've done on these! I will probably use these, as I have separate Japanese and Chinese-themed continents.

Added some food items for marketplace scenes.

Added a ship. Still not satisfied with the sail so I may update it later. Note that this was not used with Avery's ship but a complicated cut-and-paste of the existing RTP textures.

Uploaded a new version of the ship.

A modest addition - a roof with a lower slope, shaped in the form more typical for siheyuan (quadrangle residential compound). I was thinking of doing a complete siheyuan, but that'll come eventually.

Please, tell me, how can I use these files? They are all individually given.

They're all based on the 48x48 pixel format as per the standard in RPGMV. Be sure to right-click and download the file as a PNG (note that saving it in any other format will mess up the pixels). Use any image editing file to add them onto an existing Tileset or use them for parallax maps (there are several good tutorials on this forum on how to do that).
