This is always the showstopper for me. I really want to mess around with making a game but I can't make assets or music to save my life. Maybe this will get me going!

I found the 1-bit pack quite inspiring for prototyping purposes: https://www.kenney.nl/assets/1-bit-pack

There's enough in there that you can quickly put together something that looks good, and it'll be pretty obvious roughly what it's supposed to be. A lot more satisfying than coloured blocks/ASCII chars/etc. - but, equally, it won't look too good.

I mostly wish there was more resources like this when learning 3d modeling. There's some low poly 3d assets to help with that here, but so many professional level 3d assets just aren't available. The closest is battling with Epic's Paragon assets to get them functioning in Blender.
