Can 1 person make a 3D game?
While I was teaching, students would produce reasonable quality 3D games in a few weeks, working on their own or in 2–4 man teams. Its totally possible. With only one person it will take longer to do, and you will need all the skills yourself (unless you can find good models online), but totally do-able.

Game Engine development can take anywhere from a couple of days, to years. The expertise needed to make a small functional engine is a lot higher than the expertise needed to make a small functional game from an existing engine (keep that in mind). As an example, I made a 2D engine in about 6 months.
Are 3D games harder to make than 2D?
If you’re good at drawing/painting then 2D is easier. If you’re good at modelling, then 3D is easier. If find 3D easier. For example, I can’t draw a very good snake, but I can model one in 3D very easily.

How long does it take you to make a RTS game?
Lower resolution texture and no normal-maps etc. would obviously be a bit quicker… making a unit for a RTS is obviously not quite as time consuming as for an FPS. Oh and regarding the animations, 1-2h per animation with a character usually having at least 20 or so, e.g. about 30h for that also.
How long does it take you to animate a character?
Modeling and painting a character 30 – 50 hours Rigging a character 4 – 8 hours Animating a character, per short animation 1 – 2 hours
How hard is it to develop a game?
3. (Usually) Game development is hard. There isn’t much more to say when it comes to how hard it will be. (Depends on the game) 4. I think you don’t know how much work it is to develop a game. Otherwise you would never want to create everything by yourself and even reinvent the wheel (AI).
