 Writting an RPG like this would take a serious ammount of time for just a

 Programming is not who can write the fastest routine, or write the best
 game.  There are many factors that go into programming.  Even if you can
 write lightning fast routines, it won't matter if your entire program isn't
 well structured.  You could write a great game engine, but if you don't
 have any creativity, it still won't be fun.

Some other things that make a program good are if it's easy to change and
understand and if it is well commented (but I guess that goes with the easy to
understand part).
