Summarize this article for a 10 year old
NScripter (エヌスクリプター, Enusukuriputā), officially abbreviated as Nscr, also known under its production title Scripter4, is a game engine developed by Naoki Takahashi between 1999 and 2018 functioning with its own script language which facilitates the creation of both visual and sound novels. The SDK is only available for Windows. From version 2.82, NScripter supports both Japanese characters - these are two bytes long - and any single-byte character; before that, it only supported Japanese characters. This engine was very popular in Japan because of its simplicity and because it was free for amateur game makers. Additionally, there are forks available to extend NScripter's capabilities to display characters from another language, run a game on other platforms, etc.
