I would concentrate on learning C++ and Direct X Programming. Many books are available on the subject. Sams Publishing offers many quality titles to help you get started.

hi mick
here are the things i think you should do now
1 Learn C&C++ very well
2 Get familiar with Windows programming
3 Learn MFC also if u are confident( it will also help you to consolidate your database programming skills in future by doing programming with COM,DECOM ,MTS etc.)
I have a sample code of DAVE (my version) 3 levels done in MFC.I will send it if u need it.
4 Get familiar with COM
5 Buy the book Windows Game Programming for Dummies
by Andre Lamothe.
6 Make atleast five 2D games
7 Then review high school lessons of maths
8 Then Go for 3D
9 There is a book DirectX in 24 hours by sams publications (for me it took 24 days!)
10 Get the pace slowly but steadly making full use of every web page and book you pass by
11 At last make at least one 3D demo don't try to fly before u know how to stand up
12 here are some links
www.genesis3D.com
www.aiguru.com
www.gamedev.net
www.gamesutra.com
