Probably 4 things:
1) Make a couple of small games before jumping to your big one, and when you feel like you're experienced enough to take on a harder challenge, start working on your cool ass project!
2) Try to make something that YOU would like to play, if you wouldn't play what you're making, then you're doing something wrong.
3) ALWAYS MAKE MODULAR SYSTEMS, you do NOT know when you're gonna need to modify a mechanic, so always make systems that you can easily add onto in the future!
4) ALWAYS playtest your games multiple times with people other than you, I've made a playtest session with some irl friends (about 4/5 of them) and I've recorded the whole thing, then I sat down, analyzed the recordings multiple times to see what they liked, what frustrated them, where they got stuck, what was too easy, etc etc, and finally I adjusted stuff and made another playtest round, keep doing that until you find the sweetspot where everyone can enjoy your game, and THEN send it to the public!
Next up
I've been working on a Locker rework for quite some time now, so I'm quite excited to showcase it!
No keys required and no weird teleport thing.
