- Start by choosing a game engine. I prefer Unity 3D, but if you don't want to spend money on a engine, get UDK. Then learn the scripting for the game engine (check the forums of whatever engine you choose. they usually have tutorials on scripting.)
- The graphics of the game can be modified within the engine. Although you have to make your own textures. Do not use other people's graphics. It leads to lawsuits.
- Be patient. Creating a game takes time.
- Never quit. No matter how hard it may be, never give up.
- Have fun!
I'd agree with Dimmu.
Personally creating my engine has taken a lot away from my game so I just canceled the game as a whole and am just working almost full time on the game engine
