RPG Maker

From Mario Fan Games Galaxy Wiki

RPG Maker is a series of game creation utilities focused on creating RPGs. Developed by ASCII and released in North America by Enterbrain, RPG Maker can create not only turn-based JRPGs, but also Action-RPG's and some kinds of platform games. RPG Maker has a scripting system for expanded functionality.

  • RPG Maker 2003 (RM2K3), the predecessor to RPG Maker XP. It is basically the same thing as RPG Maker 2000 but it has the added feature of showing party members during battle.
  • RPG Maker XP (RMXP), which introduced advance scripting.
  • RPG Maker VX (RMVX), which had a simpler interface and more "pre-programmed" scripts, allowing that the users create their games easier.

  • RPG Maker Console series, there were also console versions of RPG Maker. Some came out only in Japan, others were also released in the USA.
