land/scene/game mechanics editor

I have learned about udk but it requires certain percent royalty for any application or content created for it if it is used for a game or sold if it goes over 100,000 if i read the udk.com license correctly. I dont want to use udk my first time around unless i go total freebie game for first one! because they leech the money out of you unlike torque or other game engines. $100 for indie no matter what at torque. But professional its better to spend lots of money on a development kit from microsoft or unreal or get torque 360 then create your own engine (or modified from the unreal engine).

Oh, no direct offical xbox 360 support in udk like torque x. What?

Anyone know if achievements are in indie xna games yet? I want to add some if i create a game. I heard rumors on microsoft from digging into forums too much that they were thinking about this.


p.s. okay to list more then one editor for different tasks as long as one of them is free.
I want to overall add this game editors/elements to game:
1.level/scene/terrain/map editor
2.cinematics(cut scenes and such), explosions, other animations not relating to characters or vechicles
3.Character editor (preferrabably one for max but if one helps with animations/attaching the skeleton in max that would be cool and i would only have to make the model and then haved the program in max attach skeleton and help do animation) Note: im horrible with character running animations i think i try to do.
4.How do i create a game menu before i launch the game is thier one that lets me graphically edit the meun then export code or something that can be used to launch it in torque?
Lastly, For the character animation i have a spongebob character i made for my 3D modeling class i want to try out.
5.Character body part customization/importing assets,animations, or models will in game: Whats code to do that with?
