Pixel Game Maker MV

Not as robust as RPG Maker with unfinished translations to boot, Pixel Game Maker MV has a journey ahead of it to reach the capability of its sister series, but already accomplishes the bare bones of what it set out to do: provide a simple GUI-based tool for making video games. In a world where cheap or free game engines are on the rise, it’s unclear how the more restrictive licensing of Kadokawa’s engines will affect the number of games and users that stick around, but like RPG Maker before it, Pixel Game Maker MV is poised to be one of the better tools for learning basic game development concepts without taking classes on coding.
