Romance of the Three Kingdoms Maker

Romance of the Three Kingdoms Maker (三国志ツクール, Sangokushi Tkool) is a collaboration title between the makers of the RPG Maker series, Famitsu and Koei's Romance of the Three Kingdoms series. It was first revealed by Kou Shibusawa at Tokyo Game Show 2015 as a project to celebrate the series's thirtieth anniversary.

The game is so far only available on Steam and for Japanese operating systems.

Gameplay
At its core, the game is a simplified revamped Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2. It speeds up turn transitions and revamps the PC 8801 graphics. The differences between the revamp are minute:
 * Music selection options are available.
 * An in-game help index for commands, goals and other game terminology is available.
 * Screencap option.
 * Sharing Twitter option.

There are two versions of the game available: the Free Version and the Paid Version. The Free Version locks players from the complete game experience but allows them to still play the revamped Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 experience. Players can play the original game's starting scenario.

The Paid Version includes every possible scenario, the option to play user created content, and customization options. Players can alter each character's names, stats, preferred stat growths, flags and character biographies. If the player has an appropriate image file, they can alter a character's portrait from a preset or something from their computer.

Downloadable content includes character portraits and scenarios.
