'''[http://www.rpgmakerweb.com RPG Maker]''', known in Japan as '''RPG Tsukūru''' (RPGツクール - sometimes romanized as '''RPG Tkool''') , is a [[Game Maker|game creation engine]] first released by [[ASCII (company)|ASCII]], then succeeded by [[Enterbrain]]. The Japanese name, ''Tsukūru'', is a pun mixing the Japanese word ''tsukuru'' (作る), which means "make" or "create", with ''tsūru'' (ツール), the Japanese transcription of the English word "tool".
The very first version was ''RPG Maker 98'', but the first version to be released for modern Windows PC was ''RPG Maker 95'' (released after 98). It was succeeded by ''RPG Maker 2000'' and later 2003, both of which increased the limits of the game engine, though had lower screen resolution
than 95.
Starting with ''RPG Maker XP'', the game engine was coded in the Ruby scripting language, which made the game engine somewhat harder to learn and use (since many of the preset events in the game now had to be manually scripted), but allowed great flexibility.
It was succeeded by ''RPG Maker VX'', and
The latest version is ''RPG Maker MZ''. MZ is an updated version of ''RPG Maker MV'', a rewrite of the engine to use Javascript instead of the Ruby coding language so the program can be used on and code for multiple platforms, released by [[Kadokawa]].
''RPG Maker Unite'', a version for the Unity Game Engine, also exists.
Several versions of RPG maker have been released for console as well over the years.
