An RPG maker is a game creation system (software program) intended to make it easy for non-programmers to create a role-playing game. The target audience for most of these products is artists and creative types who have the imaginative abilities to assemble the elements of a game (artwork, plotline, music, etc.) but lack the technical skill to program it themselves.
