Game Groups > Maker / Tkool games

Long running series of user-friendly game design toolkits produced by ASCII Corporation (later Enterbain). RPG Maker (RPG Tkool) is the flagship series, which allows the user to create simple Japanese-style RPGs, but also includes a number of tools for other genres such as Fighter Maker (3D Kakutō Tkool). The Japanese name for the series is a play on the Japanese word "tsukuru" ("to make") and the English word "tool".
