as you may know very well, every individual related with software development is somehow related to the science or the activity that the program was made for, I am currently working as a programmer for a company that is dedicated to build enterprise software for ensurance business, before this job, I was working with a travel agency developing extra modules for the CRM they use (VTiger), so I can say I am related to ERP/CRM, the fact is, I would like to change this to another activity, like developing video games.

I'd like to start developing games, by getting a job or making my own project, but:

1) I have no experience developing video games, is that an obstacle if I want to get a job? if is that so, how can I solve it?

2) if I want to make my own project I will need more people, like a graphic disigner or some others, isn't there a way to make the whole game by my own?
