RPG Maker VX Ace - DS+ Resource Pack DLC

Just an additional reminder, the battle hud graphics nor the Luna Engine in the screenshots, are not part of this package. Other then that, this pack is great if you want more modern or Japanese DS style graphics.

I can't seem to find ANY of the Corpse Party Rescources, which is the entire reason I bought this Pack.

It's pretty good but it's missing facesets for walking sprites of certain characters. by the looks of it MV's version of DS+ has more content (but I haven't purchased that one yet.) I recommend buying that instead and resizing the facesets and walking sprites. (I could be wrong and MV could be the same way but I know for certain that the original DS+ has facesets that aren't present in this one)

If someone can explain to me how to use the battle system like in the third picture, that would be great, I really need it for my game...

I'd recommend buying it ONLY when it's on sale. I love the faces/characters, the battle backs are great there's just a lot of good in this pack. But I immediately lost sight of all that good when I ended up having to re-edit ALL the tilesets because they weren't transparent and/or were fitted wrong. I'm probably going to even alter some of them because of how rough they look. Considering how much they want for the original price, they should have had all that sorted out before releasing it. It might just be me being picky, but it should have been much more polished.

Covers a bit of variety set in a more modern setting, with a small dash of SciFi thrown in for measure. The music is a bit on the standard side, although there is enough for a small to medium length game. The Battlers come in two varieties- one set is small with a cross breed between high-end 8bit era and low-end 16bit era, and another set a bit larger with a decent amount of detail.

If you only ever plan to buy one or two DLC's for the VX ACE, get this one! It has the most actual content for your buck, giving you pleanty of extra options to work with. Most of it blends well with the vanilla and community resouces packages. Just be wary that not everything will be as fleshed out as you might hope for it to be. There's some of everything, but not enough to really make that deep space epic you'd be hoping for. Nor that sprawling urban environment you could get. My advice would be to look for free resources online. By this point, there's a ton of it. But if you wanted to find a bunch of monsters that jell great with the vanilla art style, or if you hate some of the vanilla songs and want to replace them, this will give you that. None of these DLC's are worth their full price, that's a given. But get it when it's 75% off (it does so fairly often), and you won't regret it.

I was hoping to be able to use the Characters from Corpse Party from the Original RMDS+ but they weren't included! Only the Corpse Party tile sets were! Very disappointed!

A lot of the files needed to be edited because back grounds were left on the PNg files, making them unusable otherwise. Not very well organized either.Fun content otherwise

TL;DR; In my opinion? Get it! It's good! It comes with a LOT of stuff missing from the main product. It deserve the price, if you consider that just one character portrait might cost you the same amount of money. It contains a bunch of that kind of portraits plus tilesets, music, scripts, sprite sheets, battler pictures... get it already! :P ==================================================================================== Here goes my opinion on this: RPG MAker VX Ace comes with no modern day tile sets and the basic tilesets it provides are not so pretty. Just look at the edges of a hill made by them in a game Black-squared unpolished. You can always fix a tileset using a picture editor but still it is a pain. Now DS+ comes with modern tiles of great quality, while it gives a bunch of usable tiles for decent outside mapping. It's as you can see on the provided pictures. Not to mention that it contains some futuristic tiles. Inside it you will find: A] Two video tutorials .One on importing assets and one on shift mapping (very useful). B] 20 background music pieces in ogg file format (correct looping) C] 23 Battle backgrounds D] 43 Battler pictures. E] 124 cute battler pictures. F] Pools, doors, gates, a pigeon, a pond, a sewer leaking tube and a lot of character sprite sheets to give great and appropriate animation to this DLC assets. G] A good bunch of face sets. H] Picture of hero portraits with expressions I] Ballon pictures with emotions J] Tilesets for: Sewer, City outter, Futuristic spaceship inner, landscape outter, inner volcanic, inner house, inner modern day, outter and inner ancient samurai or something, ship, modern hospital... it has really whatever is missing in my opinion from the main old product! K] A sample game with used assets L] A lot of quality scripts that come with instructions. Now... all these come with the RIGHT to use them to create commercial games with RPG Maker series products, as long as you give credit to the creators (instructions for proper credits are included for every asset). And there are still people that thing that this is uber expensive... No. This is a really great DLC value for money. It really gives more value to the main product and it is a MUST buy in my opinion. Do I recommend it? Of course I do! There are also discount periods you can get it, but if you consider helping people that develop such great assets, you can get it anytime. 28 Euro is really a cheap price anyway.
