Engines will make it a lot faster to develop

Well, i need licences for the people that are helping me witch cost a lot of money and we need the game to be on different platforms like mac's linux pc's console's and it has to be moddable but, if everything goes wrong i will go for a engine.

You need an API or Engine or anything really that supports drawing to the screen.

Then you need two game loops:
- One loop to draw 60 times per second.
- One to update 60 times per second.

The rest is up to yourself. If you don't know where to start look into Riemers XNA website.

Examples:
Game 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqz4dunlhX4 (2D Game)
Game 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8w2V3gPC7I (3D Game)

I'm sure you can do better than the above.

Regards,

You asked how to make a game you should probably spend more time learning and try Unity
