Try This:

You could make the shapes in Maya and then use this game engine to make the game.

Then there is Unity which you may have heard about:

https://unity3d.com/

Both options have their strong and weak points so download them both and look for tutorials in youtube to figure out which one you will want to use.

Both of these options have people who have created the code that you can buy or download for free depending. Sometimes its good to see the code first than trying to do it yourself.

Do you know java? (There are lots of different 'flavours' of java) That will help in making games as well, unity has some great tutorials on youtube that will help your basic knowledge of java and the type used for unity scripting (EDIT:Java=Javascript in the above paragraph- Sorry for the confusion...., but they are not totally unrelated. A BMW and a FIAT are still cars....,Very different cars but still cars none the less. Some people are exposed (!) to the java platform and programming language (but not javascript) in school)__You can attribute this statement to me just finishing watching the movie "Lincoln Lawyer"!!

The most important thing is you have to understand "game logic" and how the computer interprets your idea in the form of the commands you use to make your idea happen.
