I wonder what the first create a game you can share online is? Likely something on PC or 90s consoles that escapes me. Oldest I can think of is Dreamstudio on SEGA Dreamcast. You make little levels then share them online. Mega Man Powered Up did that as well on PSP in 2006. Not talking about editing a track like Excitebike but an entire gamed based around the idea and share online. I know RPG maker was on PS1 but no online but I guess taking your memory card to a friends house?

I remember playing with some game maker program on PC when I was still in high school. That was in the late 80s. Sharing online meant uploading it to a BBS, easier to share it at school in the computer 'lab'.

When the internet came around on universities first, MUD (multi user dungeon) allowed you to make new campaigns basically. That was created in 1978. I guess that counts as the first RPG maker. It's still going as well https://themudworldblog.com/creating-roleplaying-game-campaigns/

I made my first game on MSX early eighties, that was coding in BASIC. Back when you could 'download' or rather record 'games' from the radio onto cassette tape. One way online sharing? I guess you could directly share over the phone ;) (Phone sound quality was soo much better back then)

Google is drawing blanks, doesn't understand first game creator game haha. And I can't remember the name of that game creator program I used at school :/
