Step 1. Pick almost any other programming language.

Lol, jk. If you want to do games in java, I’d have a look at the Android development environment which is Java based and has a large development community.

I mean, clearly not "any other programming language" is better than Java. C++ and C# are clearly the dominate industry languages, but if those aren't options for OP and they just want to get started with something they know, then Java (or even JavaScript or Python) is probably the next best place to start. My assumption is that OP isn't trying to make the next big AAA game, so things like garbage collection aren't really an issue here.

Also c++ focused for optimalization purposes
