If you want an anime style then most people use Koikatsu but I think Emotion Creators also works but it is more of an all-in-one character creator plus VN engine. Most who create the anime style use koikatsu, HS Tutor uses Koikatsu if you want to see what that looks like.

If you like the more realistic art, then all I know of is Honey Select 2 which is rather limited in what you can do with it. I don't think that is what most people use. Harem Hotel uses an older illusion game with the same engine(either Honey Select 1 or Ai-Shoujo) if you want to see what that looks like. However, I do believe 90% of creators use a different program but I'm not sure which one, that being said, it is an option.
