Assuming that you are going to use a game engine: – Basic knowledge of the used scripting language – Get familiar with classes, functions and the editor of the game engine – Target platform – How to create models and sprites in case you want to do them yourself – Have an idea for the actual game – Specifics depend on the game type, e.g. randomization, game logic, ...

need to know language that you'll make games, start to some simple game as sudoku, poker, sea battle, some casual, after you can make some middle level games via ue4, 5.., or use some another game engine, need team to do some best, looking team for that, actually everything is limited only by your imagination..

Unreal uses C++ primarily for scripting, and Unity can (it uses mainly C#), so if you want to go into serious game-making, those are probably your best bets. If you just want to make simpler games to practice C++, you might get more depth out of trying to build your own game engine from scratch (succeed or fail, you'll learn a lot), in which case Google can help you with that better than I can.

depends on how fast you want to go using Unreal would be faster, writing your own engine - much longer, but more giving. for the second option you'll need to get familiar with 3d graphics rendering, with OpenGL for example. a really good resource for that is a website learnopengl dot com. but I'd try a ready engine first
