※What is Maker Day?
In Japanese, the word for Maker sounds similar to the words for the numbers 2, 9, and 6. So the RPG Maker team decided that February 15th (2nd month, 9+6 day) would be the perfect day to celebrate all things in game development! We liked it so much, in fact, that we registered it officially with the Japan Anniversary Association!
