There are ways to have Ren'py create RPGMaker like games so it can be used for things beyond simply visual novels.

There are several "extensions" (such as RPG Overworld Engine and RPG Battle Engine) that allow it to go beyond simply creating visual novels

What is Ren'Py?

Ren'Py is a free and cross-platform visual novel engine that helps you use words, pictures, and sounds to tell stories with the computer. Its easy and efficient script language makes it possible for non-programmers to make visual novels, while its Python support allows for complex simulation games.

Games made can run on computers, mobile devices, and the web. Ren'Py is open source and free for commercial use.
