I think its hilarious how little you people know about coding in general, you are looking at a 10 month project with a good TEAM of coders, only hiring one will extend this a longer period. Hiring over PMC isnt exactly the best way to do it either. You will want to have some more experience with coding yourself before you start to hire others, because you need to judge them. I would code your game in C++ or pure C depending on what platform you would like to release it in. Coding in it java would be easier, but that requires the JRE for most people, and will take longer to get running right. I cannot help you code this, even though i have the skills necessary, as i am working on another project atm. I hope you can find someone good, as i have given you some advice. If someone wants to publish it, thats great, but you need to see the quality of the game first, either way, good luck. If you want to test soemone's ability with coding, send them to me and ill see if they can do a good job.
Good luck again,
