From the site:

The process of making a decent game is long and arduous. It requires skills in a number of disciplines – none of which I am particularly proficient in –  and a lot of free time and dogged determination. Attempting anything on your own is quite the undertaking – so what kind of RPG can you make in just 3 hours?

Mercifully, there are a bunch of game-making applications out there which attempt to make the process more streamlined. Selling themselves on the idea that anyone can make a game, regardless of coding or artistic ability, just as long as they have the will and the time to do it.
