No programming knowledge required!

If you love games, surely you’ve thought at least once, “I wish I could make a game myself.” Programming, however, is a huge obstacle that stands in your way. Coming up against such a challenge, perhaps most people have given up due to the difficulty involved.

That becomes quite a loss for the entire game industry, because from among the ideas discarded, there’s bound to be creations that could lead to huge, earth-shattering hits.

The RPG Maker series was created to answer the wishes of all kinds of people who have found themselves saying, “I want to make a game without learning programming,” or “Could anyone really make a game so easily?”

A Tool Designed to Make Games

RPG Maker is known in Japan as RPG Tsukuru. “Tsukuru” is a coined term that, in a literal sense, combines the Japanese words for “make” and “tool.” This signifies that RPG Maker is a tool that is designed to make games. Within RPG Maker, we have already programmed the basic operations that support RPGs. You can make games easily by just combining settings for game components that are comprised of the main character’s parameters and enemies’ movements.

Create an Original Game with Ease!

As samples, we have prepared a wealth of resources comprised of drawings and music that are needed to make games. All you need to focus on is giving shape to your own ideas.On top of that, for anyone looking for something beyond the samples already provided, we have set aside a vast collection of additional downloadable content intended for the RPG Maker series.

By using these assets in combination, you can create a game that’s absolutely full of originality.
