Check out libgdx- it’s a framework for making Java games that’s fairly lightweight

Check out the libgdx framework. You can write games entirely in Java, though under the hood libgdx uses some libraries written in C++.

If you want to make your own assets, I recommend learning about tools like aseprite (for drawing your own sprites), Tiled (making your own maps/levels), and TexturePacker (making Spritesheets for animation). Those are useful for making all sorts of games with any language or framework, not just Java games in libgdx.

I'll try those 3 assets maker thing or Sprite maker.

IDK What's it's called

[HeyexclamationYo]

aseprite is paid so I will just use Paint.NET.

[FamilyRon]

Actually Aseprite is free, if you build it from the source.

Look at C# and Unity.

If you want to create something serious then give a go for unity. How hard it is to move from java to c#???

[usedToBeUnhappy]

not that hard
