Looking for programmer to create game about SETI

Hi all. I'm sorry for my English, it's not my native language, so i use translator)

I'm looking for programmer/techical specialist to collaborate for creating short game about SETI - the program of find extraterrestial life. I'm a designer and can everything except coding.

What the idea? 

The game is the first person adventure about a process of searching for signals from space. The player is located on a small island with 3 huge radars. The player's task is to choose the coordinates of listening to space and monitor the incoming signal. If the signal seems significant-the player needs to press one key and the signal is saved and go to the research center. At the same time, sometimes a radar can fail(electricity is lost or something needs to be replaced) - and the player needs to move around the island between radars.

The game is not supposed to end, the signals will be generated randomly, and the search coordinates will be taken from real space directories (for example, the messier directory). Moreover, the game will be played completely differently if we can add in-game chat with other players of the same type (the player will be alone, but will be able to correspond with those who are playing at this moment. It turns out such an in-game working messenger).

I'm looking for a programmer(and possibly a Modeler) who can implement: 

1) a simple interface for setting coordinates for searching(i will draw example of interface); 

2) a simple interface for displaying signals (I'll draw what it should look like); 

3) simple mechanics for fixing/turning on generators and something like that. 

4) in-game chat (shared by all players). 

5) Perhaps some simple transport to move between radars. I will also be happy with the ideas of events that the player may encounter on the island.

6) System of random gameplay actions/events on island.

I think the best solution for this is Unity. I can draw all the screensavers, menus, I can design the island, find and select all the sounds, write music, but I need someone who will not be confused by my English and who can program such a game. I will also be glad to modelers who can make some thematic content for the game like a huge radar.
