Thanks for your input Thirsty Panther.
MrShawkly in a nut shell we're looking for a base to work from and put it through greenlight, given the nature of the game we're looking to use prefabs and library/stock props. - they are not the main focus of the game.
I have some very basic knowledge of level building ( Quake 2 )
If push came to shove i could build the level required, textures etc etc.
where as my partner is more marketing and promotional strategies.
The overall coding is the issue, due to what we want from the game and neither of us possess the knowledge of programming nor the time to learn it. hence being here looking to pay someone to do it for us
