Gamemaker,RPGmaker, etc.

I can do some basic programming like if statements, for loops, all the way up to arrays. The main reason I would be using a tool is for the graphics, sound, and the other things that would be more difficult to program.

I don't know any free game making tools for 2D isometric view, specially easy to use; as I assume easy to use means little to no coding.

Still, I can point you to Flare, a free open-source isometric RPG engine. Still, I must say that it may not fit your definition of easy-to-use.

Who knows if at least one person on your team is willing to learn how to use the Flare RPG engine? So i thought it was worth mentioning.

Thank you, that seems to be the exact type of program that I'm looking for, any similar suggestions would be appreciated.

I heard next version of Unity 3d will have 2D support! think about it.

There is that Engima Engine/SDK/something one of the users have been promoting. Supposedly is Game Maker compatible and free.

Edit: Yep, its Game Maker compatible, not RPG Maker compatible :D

What is this? I don't see it on google.

Edit - Never mind. I found it. Game Maker compatible, you mean.

Not really optimized for isometric view, but free and requires no coding, and can get the job done if used creatively: http://www.stencyl.com/

Good option, but it's worth noting that the free version can only export Flash projects, you need one of the other (pretty reasonably priced) licences to publish to other platforms.

Use Scirra Construct 2, very good program that is similar to Game Maker. It might still cost you something, but not as much.
