    There are plenty of tutorails, a few books such as the all in one game programming book as well..

    But i think the best advice I can give you is....

    Work within your capacity.


    There is no way 1 person can make a game such as the multimillion dollar games the industry is spitting out. It would take you a very very long time to do so.

    So i suggest making a small simple game at first. Why not remake pong? or a super mario clone. Something smaller and simple is best to start off with.

    I would recomend t2d. if you are a windows (.net) developer, you can try out my C# wrapper for t2d also... but i wont be done with the next version until around new years.

    Learn linear algebra, programming, and modeling/animation software. i would suggest starting with 3d rad engine.
