I had stopped doing web development for a while already when HTML 5 came around. However, that didn't keep me from being fascinated with how it functioned. As a result, RPG JS makes me feel strangely fuzzy. It's free and open-source, consists entirely of 100% HTML5 and Javascript and is available for commercial use. It appears that a lot of elements from RPG Maker XP has been ported over to the engine.
Based on EaselJS, RPG JS's website had a demo that I poked at. The controls feel slightly sluggish but it's entirely possible that an industrious developer somewhere can make this work really well. It also looks fairly accessible for the budding enthusiast as well.
Curious? Head down to the official website.
