Play RPG Tsukuru 2 (Japan) [En by KanjiHack v0.90C] (~RPG Maker 2) (Incomplete) Online

Ever wanted to make your own SNES-style RPG back in the '90s? RPG Tsukuru 2 is basically the lost cousin of RPG Maker—Japan got it, we didn’t, until this rough-but-playable fan translation. The menus are clunky (it is a dev tool from 1996), but there’s something weirdly satisfying about piecing together blocky overworld maps and scripting NPCs who say things like "The castle is EAST, dummy!"

You’ll spend a lot of time flipping through tilesets for the perfect swamp monster sprite or testing battles where your hero whiffs every attack. It’s janky, half-translated, and missing features, but that’s part of the charm—like finding an old notebook full of half-baked RPG ideas. If you’ve ever doodled dungeon maps in math class, this is your weird little time capsule.
