In terms of C++ vs Java I hear that Java is the most popular language but C++ is the most popular language for game development. Which would you say it's better to have as your highest proficiency?

If you have the time, c++. It'd be easier to learn java afterwards since c++ is more difficult.

^^^ No problem.

Check out Stack Overflow. You can ask questions over there with knowledgeable people and they may direct you.

If you start programming on Android and you're stuck, stackoverflow is a good place to get help with it.

They've got quite a lot of content on Android in this tagged section.

Game programming is one of the most difficult kinds of programming that there is, and Java is quite a bit different than HTML/CSS and Javascript. It'd be best for you to start with something simpler. If you are looking to focus on android, learn Java first, and then work on Android.

Here is a nice place to start:
The Complete Java Developer Course - Udemy

They probably have a coupon somewhere to get half off. search for udemy coupons.

Motivation - Breh is a millionaire now, the game sold over a million copies in 2 months.

The 4 years of self-imposed crunch that went into Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley developer says there were times when he almost quit

How a First-time Developer Created Stardew Valley, 2016’s Best Game to Date

I'm just trying to figure out how the hell did he support himself financially while working 70 hours a week. But damn, dude did everything by himself( which is very rare ) , the music, art , game design and programming.

edit: This is how he supported himself..

"For four years, he says, he worked an average of ten hours a day, seven days a week, on Stardew Valley. Luckily, he was living with his girlfriend, a graduate student in, appropriately, plant biology, and to help stay afloat he worked part-time as an usher at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre."

Making a game is pretty much what gave me the motivation to program. It's something I will eventually settle down to do, but I have a lot to learn first. Stick with it and you'll eventually get to the level that you desire.
