  I'm an artist and graphic designer.  This sounds like a great project and I would love to participate in its development, but I am currently bogged down in other projects as of late.So I wish you the best of luck, post some screens of ugly programmer art or some development as it goes cause it sounds really interesting.Best of Luck!
