Any resources for new video game programmers to become more creative?

Hi HN, I'd like to do more games programming as a hobby, but I generally struggle to balance my creativity with also learning games programming concepts (I'm a full time backend SW engineer). I think my biggest issue is that art creation (for assets) is not something I have experience in, and generally game creation tutorials skip this part and include a zip of pre-created assets.

Are there any good resources/courses that provide a more guided environment, with both art tutorials and ideas for good beginner games?

I understand the most important thing is to just start making games, but I struggle to get over the hurdles of creating art and coming up with skill appropriate game ideas, any some structure in my learning might help. FYI I'm using Godot Engine. Thanks!
