Hiring 'PROFESSIONALS' is a terrible idea if you want to create a game right now given your current situation.
The fact you are asking on Graalians kind of shows you don't have too much knowledge on this topic, and paying people to develop for you is not a safe fund so please do not waste your money at this point in time.
You should focus on learning how to develop games on your own right now using some of the engines people have provided (not big games, but ones that will give you a good amount of experience in game development and programming). Game development is a long process and you can't just pay professionals and expect everything to turn out fine, you should be able to develop on the same level as the people you are hiring. This way you can also tell if game development is something you enjoy or not before dumping a ton of money into it.
Learn, Work, Invest.
What knowledge DO you have with this kind of stuff? Would be nice to know where you are at currently skill wise so we can give feedback and suggestions that suit you and your goals better than just randomly naming game engines and programs.

My current status is I'm a professional pixel artist, and a Art and New Media Teacher. I can create the animations, with pixels. Levels are self explanatory, so right now I just need a scripter. I have a lot of money saved up for this project, and have been talking to three programmers that are interested with only $2000 for an alpha test. I like my chances, thank you.
