1. Learn any three of these C++(Recommended), Java(Needed for Android App Development), JavaScript (Needed for Web App Development), HTML5 and HTML (Needed for Web App Development).
2. Learn how to interact with android's devices hardware like getting inputs from touch screen or sensors to interact with the game. But I would recommend you to first start learning about Computers.
3. To start with graphics you need to know basics of textures and images, 2d and 3d lighting, coordinates, vectors and scalars, pixel manipulations, etc
3. Start with a simple 2D game engine, Cocos 2D, Gamemaker, Construct 2, etc or you can search from Google about the best 2D game engines for beginners.
4. Learn some basics of physics(recommended) and mathematics(required). Math is required even for a simple game.
5. If you have finished the basics. Start making 3D games with Godot engine(Beginners), Unity 3D(Intermediates), Unreal(Experts), Cryengine(Experts) or other game engine which you can search from the Internet.
6. You need many expert developers, lots of time, lots of skills, knowledge and support for creating games. It all depends on the complexity of the game.
7. You can start a company of your own or you can still continue learning and developing if you think you still have lots to learn.
My Recommendations are:
Learn Java, HTML5 and Js. Learn how to first create games with simple 2D game engine for pc instead of directly going to Android. After finishing the basics use Unity 3d it's Good and can develop Android games or just use something which is best for you.
and Oops nearly forgot an IDE is required for those recommended programming languages, just google the best IDE for those programming languages

you can make an equivalent with your frontend design knowledge, start off with building web games using HTML, CSS and JAVASCRIPT, then move into ReactJs...once you've gotten the hang of it, you can delve into the hardcore game engines

There are many good and free resources. E.g., http://www.androidauthority.com/the-beginners-guide-to-android-game-development-692253/

Covers basic experience, some layout planning. It's a game dev magazine so you could probably branch out there.

I was in the same boat as you a year ago, and now I'm working on enterprise level projects. I used swift as my language, and xcode as my IDE. It has a brilliant UI and is easy to work with. Chose catches issues at a syntax level, so essentially apple makes it impossible to f#$% up. the only restriction is that if you are coding in swift, you are only coding for Apple devices. you will need a mac computer or laptop to begin coding, but the cool thing is that it's super easy to publish games as a developer. I would start there because of the ease of language, simplicity in IDE, and the mass amount of documentation there is to be able to learn. Plus you were asking about temple run, and it was created using Xcide most likely because that's the standard for Apple applications.

Hi Stephanie, your blog is cool, but it doesn't feel completely right at a user end perspective. I felt like I was analyzing too much info at once; my brain hurts :( Hey, I know you put in a lot of effort. Great job. I'm Glad to see more Nigerians here

I'd recommend starting very simple (simpler than Temple run) and advance slowly and...

@Ms Arnold thanks. This will help a lot.

Best game engine I recommend is Unity3d for 3d game making and Gamemaker for 2D game development

Here are the very first steps of making a mobile game:
1. Map out your ideas, make them creative.
2. Learn to code, it is almost essential to make a functional mobile game.
3.Never stop thinking of ideas to improve your game, because once your game is popular, people will be expecting updates asap.
