Finally Published My First Game After 7 Months, Here's What I Learned (a brain dump of helpful links and info)

1

OpenGameArt.org

I got a lot of assets from the Unity Asset Store & GameDevMarket. I found that these had the highest quality assets. I did get a few from OpenGameArt as well, but found the quality there is hit or miss.

Freesound

For sound effects, I highly recommend sourcing sounds from FreeSound.Org and using a software like Audacity. Audacity takes a bit to get used to, but it did exactly what I needed and it's free.

ezgif.com

I found that EZgif.com was a simple solution for generating gifs for social media and, more importantly, your Steam page. Your Steam page NEEDS gifs if you don't already know this. Sometimes videos don't load or the audience goes straight to the description section.
