hi! Bought your tiles for Rpgmaker MZ. You can ignore the email I sent. I just saw on one of the other sets I bought that they aren’t set up for autotile. I think I have them loaded in the right slots (a5, b, c, d, e), so I’ll try making a map again tomorrow and let you know if I have any other issues. Love this set, and it goes great with the characters I made so hoping I can get it working.
Hi there. I don’t think I’ve seen an email from ya, unless it was under a different name?
Anyways… yes, this tileset doesn’t have autotiles. Autotiles are nice but they take forever to make and I personally prefer not to use them so I don’t make them too often. If enough people wanted them though…
So the way RPG Maker MZ works, you have to set your resolution and pixel size manually. It defaults to 48x48 so you may need to resize the sprites (I can help with this if you need it) but you can also set it to 16x16 in the System Menu for your game project in RPG Maker MZ.
Once you’ve got the right size in, you need to create a tileset in RPGMMZ and use the art you bought from me. You don’t need a specific tileset or autotiles for this to work – the tilesets just need to be the right size and they need to be imported correctly. RPGMMZ creates a larger tileset from several tileset layers so the way I format my packs follows suit.
Again, let me know if you’re stuck on this. It can take getting used to.
I adjusted the tileset by enlarging 300% (to make it 48x48) and it worked great! It even mostly autotiles within rpgmaker, if you're careful with the placement. Thanks so much!
Ah yep. I also enlarge most of my stuff when I use RPGMMZ rather than use the native 16x16 but I can’t remember why, been doing it so long.
The way I put tiles together in the tilesets, it SHOULD be intuitive what’s supposed to go where – but I’m always interested in feedback cuz I don’t want these things to be confusing haha. This is also why I am now including my mockups in the packs. If you haven’t yet, please download v2 of the Streets pack which should include them. They may help you with any tricky tiles or objects and how to place them.
Haha yeah. It is like the white whale of this theme. I crack away at it every so often but I’m never satisfied. Right now, I could release it with only a couple of car variants and some mech suits but I really want it to be worthwhile on release.
More people ask, faster I’ll do it. Anything in particular you’re hoping to see?
Do you mean in the tiles, not props? There are “sidewalk” tiles with bright blue dashes and dotted lines, these are just meant to be fancy sidewalk “tech” like lighting or to suggest networking running through everything.
There are also road-paint tiles that are either weathered (chipped, broken up) or clean (no breaks, just clean lines) that are meant for roads, yes.
I probably should have included the sidewalk tiles as part of a mockup to demonstrate their purpose more clearly but I hope this answers your question!
I will for sure be doing more. I have the beginnings of a “Dock” area pack, a vehicle pack (incl. mechs), and more. It’s always tough to decide how much to include, how to break things down so they don’t get out of hand, etc.
Glad you like it! Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!
Thank you so much, that’s really gratifying to hear. Any additions you’d like to see or even entirely new packs in this theme that you think would be cool?
I have a new pack series in the works and the first parts of it are coming out tomorrow. It’s a fantasy pack based on Norse mythology and the first bundle will have a character pack (24 characters w/ walk cycles) and an outdoor tileset with a village theme. Stay on the lookout as the style is similar to this, just a different palette and aesthetic. A clever creator could easily blend the packs to make something really out there.
But that said, I’ll definitely be adding more to the Retro Cyberpunk series as well. I have several packs on the go with that, including an item icon pack, a “docks” themed pack, a vehicle pack, and more. I wanna eventually get to a one release a month schedule, but right now it’s more like a couple of packs at the same time, every 4-6 months. Haha. I’ll get faster.
I am so touched to hear this, I am a fan of cyberpunk and love all the works on this theme, your work is very good, I like it very much, will keep following you

Cheers! Your characters look very charming!
This looks so cool! is the vehicle pack still coming?
Haha yeah. It is like the white whale of this theme. I crack away at it every so often but I’m never satisfied. Right now, I could release it with only a couple of car variants and some mech suits but I really want it to be worthwhile on release.

Ooh a mech suit :) well mostly a few regular cars and an armored vehicle that say dystopian police forces would use.
What is this piece meant to be for?![]()
The ones with the dashed and dotted double lines. Are they meant to be the edges of roads like painted lines or?

Yes, it does, thanks!!

I like the pack, any more shadowrun type stuff you do, I'll pick up later.

I like your pack very much.
