RPG Maker is a 2D game making application geared toward Role-Playing Games (though other genres have been made). The platform has seen several releases over the span of more than 10 years and has primarily used Ruby as the code core for scripting.
The mentioned price is for the VX version on Steam.
Newer versions of RPG Maker convert the core script code to Javascript, dropped the requirement to distribute the RTP with finished titles, and provide native export across a wider array of systems to include OSX, iOS, and Android.
