The Default Party Members and NPCs of RPG Maker Unite

Developer and publisher Gotcha Gotcha Games are working on the next generation of software in the 2D RPG development software series RPG Maker, going by the title RPG Maker Unite. For those who may not have the time or resources to create/commission artwork of their party members, each facility has traditionally come with a range of default/generic party members and NPCs, consisting of overworld sprites and battle portraits.

This week, we have received a look at the default characters who will be available at launch. The first batch are the 24 character assets that will support being party members. These characters will have both map animations and side-view battle animations, and typically cover male and female versions of traditional RPG classes from the standard swordsman and mage, to warlock and monk.

The other 46 previewed character assets are focused on NPC non-party members, with each character set only including animations for map movements, which is a little bit of a shame as many of these would be solid options as party members in my opinion:

In development by Gotcha Gotcha Games, RPG Maker Unite is currently listed with a ‘2022’ release date, and will be available exclusively on the PC at this time.
