Answer 2

So if you want to go step by step ... you should go somewhat like this.

1. Learn c++(if you want to code on c++ only and don't want to use any other language).And by learning I don't mean that do the basics,do everything in detail.

2. Work with a game engine.(If you have the time to make your own game engine...do that ,but that takes a lot of study of the language to core and of course you have to open up to different programming languages too). My suggestion : use unreal engine.It uses c++ for scripting(coding).

3.Learn photoshop for making your own game objects and to do character animations.

Answer 3

watch movies to get ideas

Answer 4

use a pre existing game engine or make your own engine using opengl/directx
