Thank you frob, that is a huge help.
I am still debating whether I should train myself how to program and do it myself, and instead use the money to hire a decent digital artist or two to improve the art and sprites.
So many paths to take!
Estimates For My Game
Is there any particular reason you want an actual code written ?
If all you really care for is the end game, and this is not a coding excercise/learning exp., then why don't you create the game in something multiplatform - like Unity ?
Some scripting (in C#) might be required, but I think that majority of work could be done using Unity's GUI - e.g. just clicking.

Oh if I find someone who has experience of this kind of thing, they can use whatever language / program / engine they want. I would pretty much just leave it up to them.
The only reason I haven't really thought of Unity is because it is primarily a 3D engine, so it may be more sophisticated than what I need. I know there are plug-ins that can make it a 2D engine (like fixing the camera and such) but I still wasn't sure if that was the best solution. I would leave it all up to the programmer.
If I did it myself, is there something like Unity but for 2D? The closest I have found so far is Construct 2, but if there is something better I would love to use it.
I'm guessing you already checked GameMaker or RPG Maker ? Because that would probably be the No 1 choice for this type of game. However, I never really played with them, so not sure about their license and platform support.
