Project New Atlantis

This is a game I really want to crack on and make after my final exams (i.e. in summer). There is a lot of design work to yet do on this game but basically the story is that you are part of a small colonization team, setting out to create a new city in the ocean, which I am temporarily calling New Atlantis, but which the name isn’t final yet. The game will be a harvest moon style RPG, with no emphasis on fighting, but instead the emphasis being put on character building, relationship development and community building. Here are some features I plan the game to include:

3D environment (Direct3D or maybe openGL), with the retro, but updated feeling of many old 2D tile based RPGs.
Very diverse story line, with many possible branches in it, and therefore at least 30 different endings (could be a many as 150)
About 60 unique non playable characters, each one having there own graphics and diverse storyline, which can causally effect both the main plot and the storylines of the other characters. Each character’s storyline should be equally diverse and will depend on the way the player acts with the character.
Play as a guy or a girl!
15 characters who you can potentially take a fancy to (if you’re a guy, and 15 if you’re a girl), go out on dates with, and eventually have as a girlfriend.
Ability to be a two(or more)-timer, could have bad consequences though.
Hopefully the storyline will be very involving, and I am going to personally put a lot of work into it, during the summer.

I understand this isn’t a one man project, and my brother will definitely work on it with me. I’m having problems with the artwork at the moment, as I’m not artistically inclined towards visual art. The main problem is finding a good package to use for creating some cartoony 3d people models, which can move and express themselves like real people. If anyone has any suggestions (and has actually found this page) please e-mail me. I really do want to make this game, it will define a new kind of art in which computer games could fall under as a category, if I do.
