I would suggest you find a programmer who knows a decent language such as C++, and preferably a graphics library such as DirectX or OpenGL, and is therefore not reliant on "gamemakers" such as this one. Such things are generally limiting as to what you can do with them, and if you are trying to create a game with commercial value, you'll quickly find yourself hitting barriers you didn't know existed because of the language and development environment.

Ooble's right, you're much better going down the C route like most serious companies nowadays, rather than locking yourselves into dead-end proprietery software. You'll also find that most smaller development teams are made up of more programmers than artists: otherwise you'll experience a bottleneck in the form of a sleep deprived one-man-software company.

Good luck, though you might want to try posting this in the VBScript forum, if you haven't already.
