That's what we had done with our iOS game Dino Rush [1] back in 2010.
It was a lot of work to build our own engine, and the additional amount of work needed to port it to Android discourage us.
Today even if you know C++ I will only recommend to use a commercial game engine like Unity, Unreal Engine, Lumberyard or Defold, to name a few. Build your own only if you have a lot of resources and very specific needs.
