Can I make a FPS game like this alone?

    I was thinking of doing a prototype FPS game with a basic mission where a squad gets pinned down and the player with another soldier has to flank the enemies on the bridge.
    I was thinking of doing it like this:

    1) Get a basic idea of the game features
    2) Start coding basic features such as aiming, shooting etc...
    3) Create a basic AI and improve it over time
    4) Get the map done (most important things start here)
    5) Create basic models of enemies and teammates, by basic I mean a cube with some squared legs and arms.
    6) Keep improving it.

    Maybe that's the basic process for every game but since I finished studying C++ this year at high school I now know the basic programming stuff and I thought I can finally get back to Unity.
    Would this work? When I tried to do some stuff with it my biggest problem was 3d modelling and animations, do you know where I can easily learn modelling and animating? I know asset store is a big help but as I'm just 16 and I haven't got much moneys I can't buy stuff from it as I'm doing this just for learning purpose and to have a bit of fun, are the free assets good?

    Thanks for the help!

    Game like this have been made in Unity by one person, yes. It's just a matter of time, knowledge and resources. You seem to be lacking knowledge and resources but are only 16 so you have plenty of time to acquire them. The internet has hundreds of tutorials on modeling. Stick with Blender as it is free. There are some good free assets but probably not nearly enough to create a game that looks consistent. There are some very inexpensive assets, including several FPS starter kits that will save you a lot of time. This one is only 20 bucks. But don't expect it to be fast or easy. Things worth doing and doing right rarely are.

    Yes it is possible. UPFS is probably the best kit for making an FPS game. For blender tutorials, Id highly recommend Andrew Price's tutorials. Just search it up on youtube.

    I used Unity for some months before so I have some knowledge and I remember doing some scripts such as aiming and firing.
    Anyway, thanks to you both!

    Yeah. Andrew Price's tutorials are Great.
    Oh yeah,...........he's also known by the name BLENDER GURU, TRALLALAL!!
    He speaks with an Australian accent! :D

    Not to overwhelm you, but you can also learn Blender, at Blender Cookie.
    There are some on CG tuts too. http://cgi.tutsplus.com/

    That's a pretty good start considering you only started this thread like three days ago.
