RPG Maker MV - FSM: Town of Beginnings Tiles DLC

Worth every penny. The demo comes with a lot of maps, and I really liked to explore them all! The mapping tips are also very useful.

A truely fantastic TileSet. As many have indicated, the TileSets are beautiful and they fit so well. You get your Full Set of A1-5, B, C, D, and E and what many people may not realize or see is you get some amazing Characters as well. Installation into your current project is easy as every, including getting the passage settings just right. Simply take the TileSet from the Sample Project and Copy and Paste the Sample TileSet directly into your project. Done, you have the complete set as well as all the correct passage settings. A great TileSet well worth the cost.

I bought this pack(AND the Forest&Cave pack) after seeing the FSM apple tree in a screenshot. I kinda hate the vanilla trees in MV and that apple tree was gorgeous! Seriously. I paid $53 because of an apple tree. But you know what?? It was worth it because the rest of the sets are just as beautiful as that tree! I don't know if I'll even use the vanilla tiles for anything anymore! I almost cried with joy when tested the waterfall graphics! They're sooooo much better than the vanilla ones! If you're on the fence about getting this pack hop off it and throw your money at the FSM tree!! You won't regret it!!!❤❤❤❤

It's a throwback and a half to see these REFMAP tilesets again. They're very much like the RM2K-era versions, except much higher resolution. The ground, trees, wall textures, and so on are instantly recognizable to anyone who made use of the originals. They were top-of-the-line then, and now too it seems!

These are exceptional tiles that I think any RPGMaker user should absolutely take advantage of. For your money, you get a complete set of A1-5, B, C, D, and E tiles. They also give you a great assortment of some parallax objects, animated tiles (doors, water features, flames, a bubbling cauldron!, clock, etc). They also have some extra tiles that didn't fit on the page you can swap in if you need to. If that's not enough, they put this all in a sample project to show off some of the features. Excellent product, great quality!

Pretty decent, contants a lot of amazing tiles, perfect for building cities and villages, along with a sample game and guides that show you how to use the tilesets creativly or simply set the up into your game. I only dislike that for some reason I don't have Inside A3 tileset. I have A2 and A4, but no A3! Verifiying game integrity didn't help.

Not only are those tiles gorgeous, the DLC also comes with a handy demo game to showcase some mapping techniques. You can use this instead of the RTP tileset for towns and fields, or use it together with the RTP and other RTP-style tiles - it blends well.

Ok. I just got this DLC and I have been working with RPG Maker MV for about a year now. I looked through the tileset pages and played the sample game that showcased the map features of this DLC. I love the extra step towards realistic the graphics take an RPG Game. Yes, it still look like video game houses and forests but it is definitely a step up towards better looking maps than using just the standard assets. Insides for homes have a lot of nice furniture and "greeblers" too. If you are not much of a graphic designer (Ie- makiing your own tilesets, maps, etc.) then I would recommend adding this to your RPG Maker if you want better looking towns and terrain. I suspect that this DLC may be the first of many in this style but I don't have a clue when anymore addtions to "First Seed" would be. You just have to decide if the price of this is worth having the better looking maps.

Most amazing tileset I have ever purchased. I have purchased a lot of great tilesets over the years, but the FSM tilesets are in a class of their own. While the artwork may not appear to be significantly better or different than other tilesets, it is the amount of thought that went into each tileset that make them shine. For example, indoor lighting often requires one-off parallax maps or overlays and plugins to make them work. Refmap created a more elegant solution - semi-transparent Inside_B tiles for each window type. Place them along a wall or on the floor and you have instant sunshine and window reflections (including for stained-glass windows). They also include a number of animated light sources some very realistic looking water animations. Many tilesets include a sample image or even a small sample project with a map or two to show off the tileset. This tileset comes with a game demo which showcases nearly 200 outdoor and indoor maps. In the documentation, they state you are free to use the maps in any non-commercial or commercial project. I hate map-making so having this many maps I can customize is a godsend. The icing on the cake is the demo game encourages exploration by having you locate 26 chapters of a Creation Mythos book. Each chapter has a page discussing the map and then 3 - 4 page long tutorials on expert map making - with pictures. The tileset comes with two short PDF manuals, but the Creation Mythos book in the sample project are where the real information is at. (Spoiler: the docs include a cheat code to unlock the book if you don't want to explore every building in every village to find the missing chapters) There are 2 small cons to the tileset. The first is the English version of the sample project is missing most of the graphics and sounds files. Just copy the /img and /audio folders from the Japanese version to solve that issue. The second is the projects use some nifty plugins I am not familiar with that are written in Japanese making it difficult to determine what they do. (Note: the plugins and some of graphics and audio assets are NOT part of the tileset. You will need to download them from the original creators and follow their Terms Of Use if you want to include them in a game).

A great set of tilesets, and enough to make different types of towns and forests. It even comes with a handy sample game where they give tips on many mapping techniques. Which beginners and even veterans of mapping will find useful. If you want good quality tilesets, then you should buy this pack.
