Do you have coding experience and artistic talents? If not, I mean you CAN, of course.. but it'd be a hard road with a lot of collaboration (which comes with a lot of ego and issues).
I started building and working on PC's when I was 6 and did level editing for fun on a lot of games before my teens. Learned HTML, CSS, and Java early as well. (Only Java translates much to gaming). I came into college with the skills to haphazardly make a decent game, but the structure of coding/CS classes with python and java helped a lot with more formal learning and organization.
I was mainly an art major though, so I am lucky enough to be artistic(ish, depends I guess on who you ask) so I can do my own game art.
