RPG Maker VX is software that helps you create you own unique RPG without any programming experience necessary. Even so, the robust programming features of RGSS has been updated and improved from RPG Maker XP.

RPG Maker XP lets you create an original role-playing game without any specialized knowledge or training. Its popular and highly user-friendly editor interface has been carried over from RPG Maker 2000, and its graphic capabilities, battle screen layout, and data packaging features are better than ever.
