I am excited to finally present Retro Dead City, a zombie-apocalypse themed asset pack with a monochrome color palette and a loose 1980s aesthetic.

This one has been a long time in the works, starting as a concept years ago on RPGMVXace as a project w/ a very different art style. All of that work has been repurposed and remixed with existing stuff from my itch asset series to present this new theme.

That’s not all that’s new.

For the first time, I am launching a “starter kit” that includes all or most of the basic assets needed to start making a game right away. Usually, it makes more sense to release smaller packs that target specific needs. I will still be doing that, especially for my other two themes, but I wanted to experiment and try a new approach. That, unfortunately, had a lot to do with why this has taken so long to finally release.

Like with my other themes, I plan to support Retro Dead City with more content. For example, I am currently working on a “Gas and Grocery” pack to complement the “Pub and Diner” setting of this first “starter kit” pack. This new pack will include tiles, new character sprites, zombies, and more.

In the future, I have rougher plans for packs that will cover other settings such as hospitals, warehouses, police stations, military bases and checkpoints, etc. Each of these will come with their own sets of characters, zombies, enemy battler sprites, tiles, props, and more.

Please check it out and stay tuned for more on Retro Deadcity as well as my other themes!
