Not to be a pessimist...
But after reading the original topic, I would like to say that it would be a little more difficult than you're making it out to be.
Programming, animation, scripting, etc.
I loved the original idea, about having artists draw writers' characters, or having writers write about artists' characters, but I think that making your own game is a little far-fetched.
But if you can go through with it, I'll give you all a hand shake or something.
