I'll help if I can.
How do you create or get assets for your first game? I do mostly web, tried some basic stuff around one game written in JS. Have no idea what to expect here.
For getting assets itch.io tends to have a bunch of 2d ones https://itch.io/game-assets
For making 3d assets blender tends to be commonly used and for making 2d theres aseprite for pixel art, gimp for image manipulation, krita for traditional art, and inkscape for vector art (all of those free except aseprite)
There are lots of free asset packs available, or cheap ones to purchase.
If you're making a 2D pixel art game, you can make cheap sprites in GIMP. You can also make cheap 8-bit style sound effects with jfxr.
