I would be glad about talking with you. Unfortunately, I didn't make a game, just a
an artificial intelligence system suitable for this kind of games (well, maybe I need to update it to XNA 3.0). I'm planning to make a game based on it, but now it's just kind of smoke, hehe. So, maybe I'm not your man, but I'm sure you can speak with some people here who have recently finished, and released, their games and, maybe, have more time than the others who are trying to have their games for day 1.
Anyway, consider to talk also with peple who haven't developed a game, but a tool, system or engine suitable for this kind of games. There are a lot of people in that situation and they're also part of this community, although they haven't got any game. Not all the people loves making full videogames, but tools like that, and sure some games you can see here have used some of those tools. So, somehow, they have contributed to make those games ;-)
