Yep. Start by learning dub (code.dlang.org), which is a build 
automation tool that helps you alot by saving headaches caused by 
the heap of dependencies that a "complex" software like a game 
has. Don't start by diving into graphics just yet, spend your 
first days by doing stuff on the command line.
There are a few engines that are being developed by others, but 
there's nothing like e.g. Unity right now. I think that every 
engine is in "early" development stage, too.
Also, I think most of current libraries use OpenGL instead of 
DirectX, so you might want to learn that (at least the basics).
