• In its first major visual overhaul ever, RPG Maker will soon let you make games in the style of Octopath Traveler - 27 March 2026

But I love that a relatively simple toolset is still in such active use... Read more.

• A classic RPG Maker engine, the same one used to create Pokémon Uranium, is completely free on Steam this week - 13 February 2024
