Terribly sorry, but writing code is notoriously hard and slow.. And it's a very common misunderstanding that a game can be built in a short time.. Writing a game in a day was possible in the 80's but no more these days.
For the record, I'm working on a 3d space adventure game. And around Christmas we're going into the 4th year. And to be honest, we've got almost nothing other than the basic plumbing required. I doubt I'll finish it in the few years left to us. But I'm doing it because I love doing it, no other reasons.
For every 100 amateur games started less than one is actually finished. More than half never even have their first line of code added. It's sobering statistics, but you have to realize it if you want to seriously commit to this.
