I would STRONGLY advise to go with a ready engine like Unity.

You still have to learn a lot before you  will have just building 
blocks to create a game like loading and rendering 3D models, a 
gameplay framework etc etc.

Start with Unity, lean how to make a game there. Learn how to 
programm gameplay there and after that, when you see what is 
needed before even being able to make a game, only then try to 
make things from scratch. Use C# in Unity too as it is similar to 
D so you will have easier transition when necessary.
