Hello!

What version of Rpg Maker are you using? I use MZ and what I do for bigger sprites is either make an already big sprite or make a smaller one and increase it's size by % with Aseprite. Then, I add "!$" to the character sheet so MZ reconizes it as a single character. But you can also create a regular character sheet (with 6 characters) using bigger sprites and it will still allow you to use them.

If you're using Rpg Maker 2000 or 2003, then you can only use smaller sprites.

I'm using MZ. Is that how your maps look more zoomed in as well? It's amazing work, man.

I don't use zoom plugins, I just make everything bigger by doubling it's size in (200%) in Aseprite. Sometimes, that includes tilesets (to scale them with the bigger sprites). My sight is a bit poor, so that's why I prefer games with bigger sprites. My last game used smaller sprites and playtesting it was painful to my eyes, so I'll always try to use bigger sprites (it also allows players to appreciate sprites in more detail, for example, shading, dithering, animations, etc)

Right on. Well, thanks for that. I'm in the process of learning how to do it so I can make a horror game inspired by some of your work (but original, of course) I grew up on all those 80s slasher and big titty damsels in distress movies. I love that stuff.
