Anyone know any good tools for making a RPG? I'm not a big fan of SNES type RPGs and RPG Maker didn't appeal. I'd like to find something that lets you write simple text only games or maybe something with occasional graphics. I'm checking out Unlimited Adventures for the site at the moment but would like to find something that allows a bit more editing of the character types. The ability to interface with C++ or VB6 would be an advantage. Anyone got any suggestions?

Edit: Rather than coding from scratch it would be nice to find something that would allow you to visually map an area to save time, and perhaps to allow placement of objects and enemies.
