RPG Maker 3 (PS2)
Back in the PSX era, Agetec translated a little gem called RPG Maker. With it's simple, easy to pick up design tools and uniqueness, it truly stood apart from any other game like it. Unfortunately, it was pretty limited and typing took forever since you had to use a controller. Then Agetec translated it's sequel: RPG Maker 2 for the PS2. The game truly shined: nearly all of RPG Maker's limitations were gone and it supported USB keyboards. Unfortunate for #2, it was a bit too high tech for the average gamer and had a very steep learning curve. This led to the game you see before you: RPG Maker 3.
RPG Maker takes the easy to learn design tools similar to RPG Maker 1 with the graphics of #2. Seriously, everything's been made way easier to use in #3. 3D overworld maps are made with 2D paint tools, creating something that looks like Golf for NES. The game then translates that into a full 3D world to explore. Pretty much everything has been made easier in RPG Maker 3. Unfortunately, because of this, it lost a lot of it's power as a design tool. But rest assured, this is still a powerful tool that can create incredible 3D games that you make. That's the best part: you make everything in the game with the tools offered to you. Want to create a game about rescuing cheese from an evil king? Want to make a game where you have to stay indoors or you'll die? The sky is the limit.
If you're looking to make your own 3D games in a simple, easy to use package, RPG Maker 3 is just the thing you've been looking for. It takes hours of time to make something truly playable, but those will be hours of fun (especially when your friend sees themselves in the game).
