You may want to consider prototyping/playtesting the game on paper first, then find someone to help program it into a video game/app kind of thing.

You could use stuff around your house (paper, cardboard, pens, pencils), you could take parts/pieces from existing board games you have.

I believe you will greatly enjoy Jeff Howard’s book Game Magic. I wrote a little tweet thread extolling some of its virtues. It basically catalogues all extant novel magic systems that have been done in video games.
Cool idea, it kinda makes me think of this book series:

(which is really cheesy and there is like 40 books or something lol)
I searched for the game and was able to find a physical copy on Amazon.

It may not be exactly like the game you described, but The Movies is a decent film tycoon game.
You're almost describing fighter maker, I think. Too bad the series wasn't big enough to have a PS3 release, but you can pick up the PS2 one for real cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Fighter-Maker-2-PlayStation/dp/B00006N5SK
