I am creative, but I have never been good at art. I am a strong coder, and with the right tools, I could figure out how to code almost anything. I have a passion for making games, but I always feel that I am held back by the fact that I can't create textures, animations, models, rigs, or any of the nice visual components that really make a game feel immersive. I know that If I were to get a job at an actual studio, that I would just be coding, and other people would be doing the art, but if I want full game projects as a solo dev that I can show off for better chances at those jobs, or just for myself, I am currently just stuck to using free assets, which really limits the atmosphere that I can create in a game.

To all the other solo devs out there. Were yall just good at art and forced yourself to learn how to code? Or were you good at coding and forced yourself to learn art? Or do you just buy asset packs on fab, and other places like that?
