im getting started with this game development.. what should be the first step i will do to create a role playing game

a good concept and try to answer sme questions like

where should it play?
when should it play?
fantasy or historical?
what characters?

dont start to programm before you know what should be there in the end

First step is to make really small prototypes for movement, combat, character interaction, whatever else you'd like in there. But by making really small self-contained prototypes with very limited features you'll be much better prepared for making an actual game.

If you are learning I would suggest learning how to program first and worry about the details later.

Then what is your RPG. Live action or random battles? Live action you need to learn how to heart someone with weapons with normal movement. Sword slash code is in an old issue of the AUM.

Random battles you need to learn the Random code and loading levels to start the battles.

also id suggest learning how things are done, (like texture creation, model; creation, etc) and learn how to do those things. theres a few books on them out there if you are really serious about this. also try to think up a good backstory, a world in which these characters live, and a bit of history to that place.
