    I suspect there's a lot more to game development than I'd guess at.
    I'd get started by writing some free apps for systems like Roblox just to get a feel for what is involved and to network with other developers.

    I am not a game developer but I can tell you this. You have a long way to go.
    If I am not mistaking there is a platform called fps creator, they state that you don't need to know coding for their platform.

    Having worked with game development, I assure you, you usually need more than one person. Yes, there have been a few indie games the last couple years made by an individual - none of them have been stunning when it comes to graphics - what they've sold on is the game itself - the story. An FPS made by a single person will have to either have a very specific style (maybe cartoonish, maybe sprites, something special, at least), because you cannot compete with professional studios when it comes to graphics. Then you have the story - unless it's a unique story, what value is it for single players? Most gamers nowadays are either casual gamers (picking up a quick game while sitting on the bus, or slouching in front of the TV for an hour) og hardcore gamers - a sliding grade, of course, but an FPS, made by a single person, with no prior knowledge of how to make a game? My suggestion: give up before you start. Work on a good story, maybe create small games and try to find your style - but be aware that very few games succeed - and those that do, are often out of left field - they're not obvious money-makers. Note: I'm talking about the small indie games now, not things like Candy Crush and the like - they have a marketing budget the same size as a small country's BNP.

    Never give up! Even if it does not succeed you have learned many new and valuable skills, which I value more than succeeding and making money.

    If starting out green, I'd suggest learning something like Unity:
    https://unity3d.com/

    It's free for development / not for profit use, has a lot of tutorials and getting started guides, and wraps a lot of the low level grunt-work (like networking, 3d physics) in API's.

    As a game engine it limits what you can do with it to an extent, but it's a great place to learn the basics before diving head-first into doing it "the hard way".
