Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, wherever you are reading this text in the world. How are you all doing? 😊
Today, I've come to share something with users who frequently use the graphic materials of the artist MACK or his personal website LooseLeaf, and also for those who have used materials from the REFMAP group on the FSM (First Seed Material) website, where MACK is involved, to be used from RPG Maker 2000 to RPG Maker VX/Ace.
At the beginning of the year 2023, I discovered that MACK had a significant role in creating graphics for many products in the "ツクール" (Maker) series, free lessons made available on The Digifami Web page by ASCII itself and in another content creator's group. 😮
I've always liked the artistic style of RTP XP and RTP VX/Ace, especially the detailed Characters and Tilesets of XP in pixel art. The inspiration for creating "RTP VXP" itself was because of the materials from FSM and RTP XP. To find out who is behind the RTP, I sought information about MACK and with the help of the Web Archive, I found enough sources to get in contact with her. Since his art and techniques in the lessons made me what I am today as a pixel artist, and I've seen many people praise the graphics that I also like without knowing who the artist behind it is, I asked if we could conduct a text interview.
She agreed if all the questions were sent at once, rather than having a conversation exchanging information. Due to the difficulty of asking more technical questions about Pixel Art in the Japanese language, I formulated questions relevant to MACK's stories during his journey with digital art up to the present day.
The interview was written in three languages: Brazilian Portuguese, English, Japanese and they are saved on Google Drive.
Para Português Brasileiro, a entrevista está ou estará na revista "Make The Game Edição 31": Make The Game
