Hi David! I'm almost done with RMaker MZ (which is the easiest to set mainly because their 16x16 option and layering, allowing a more "custom" use of tilesets A, B, C, D). Character packs are already Rmaker-ready (with options for Rmaker XP, VX, Ace and MV as well)
The main issue with Rmaker tilesets (taking me forever) is the stark limitation on width and length, which requires me to constantly make more tileset groups and constantly sacrifice tiles (dramatically so with terrains) and decoration to make everything fit in 256x256 groups.
The final result will probably still need quite some tinkering from the users, as it won't allow all the possible required combinations for each map anyways :'(

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll hold off until you say you're done then. I tried doing it myself but RPG maker's auto tile system is such a mind**** (not sure if you can swear in the comments on here.) I tried to do it myself but it gave me such a headache. I don't know why their system is so obtuse from the artist's perspective. Having the system generate these middle ground tiles based on little subtitles is ridiculous. It would make far more sense to just allow people to do a few 9/9 grids. Like this literally waves a couple megabytes per game, but wastes hours and hours of the artist's time.
Sorry one more thing. Do you have any rough estimate for when you think those will be done? (Don't want to rush or make you think you're under the gun. I honestly should have checked the description before buying... though your tiles are really gorgeous.) Once you do complete I'll purchase the pack again (I realize I don't have to but I will do it as a thank you.)
Also not sure if you're aware, if you want to make 16/16 tiles into 32/32 and 48/48 tiles for the three sizes of RPG Maker MZ tile set options you can just set Photoshop or whatever image app you're using to resample with nearest neighbour and then change your DPI from whatever it is to that number x2 for 32/32 and x3 for 48/48. Which might cut off future requests from people who want larger tiles. (Don't feel a need to do that just for me though, that's easy to do myself in Photoshop.)
