RPG Maker VX Resources

Finding some RPG Maker Resources can be a difficult task. They are far and few in between on the internet and often end up being slight variations of the RTP.

In this article we’ll discover new websites to gather much needed resources.

First Seed Material

First Seed Material is a fairly important RPG Maker community of mostly Japanese users. Quite a lot of resources are shared on the website but it can be difficult to navigate your way around without any knowledge of Japanese.

If you look at the top banner of the website, you’ll notice there’s an option to change the language of the website to English.

This will certainly make things a bit easier to understand but most of the conversations and sharing on the forum is made in Japanese so it won’t make much of a difference anyway.

This is why I will introduce some of the art on this forum which I thought deserved to be mentioned. Note that pictures in this article will be watermarked as authors prefer for users to download their art directly from their conversation thread. Worry not however as each resource will be clearly linked so that you can easily find the files.

A Bloody Mess (RPG Maker VX Resources)

Let’s begin with a creation from Uma. This one is mostly a modification of the basic RTP but it is done quite well. This kind of tileset, quite gruesome, would be perfect for horror games or RPG with a dark setting. Note that the author has also provided some samples of bloodstains so look up the rest of his stuff in case you’re interested in this kind of gory detail.
