    Sphere

    Sphere is basically a game development tool that is JavaScript powered. It's inclined towards RPGs, but I guess you could use it for other purposes. You can create all the sprites and stuff from scratch, or you can import them. As far I can tell so far, it's pretty powerful, but takes a long time to get results. So far, I'm halfway done a patheti tle trading quest game...It's a good summer project, though.

        Sphere has been around for quite awhile. I remember evaluating it along with other RPG making tools (such as the infamous RPG Maker 97 and others) way back almost 5 or 6 years ago. I see it's undergone some changes, but I found that it required a non-trivial amount of programming knowledge and skill to make something with it, compared to RPGM's most graphical style.

          Yeah, I completely lied when I said half done. Maybe about 10%, now.

          That's what it's looking like so far. I stole the dirt colors from Golden Sun, and I'm thinking of replacing the guy with someone from GS, simply because it's so much easier when the works already done for you.
