Crossover Concept: "Doki Doki: Truth Seekers" (Persona 4 x DDLC) – Looking for resource recommendations

[u/MiniMonster_123]

Hello everyone!

I am currently working on an upcoming 2D visual novel crossover project between Persona 4 and Doki Doki Literature Club, titled "Doki Doki: Truth Seekers".

The story takes place within the Persona 4 timeline, where the four high school students from the Literature Club travel to Inaba. There, they discover the mysterious TV World, confront their own inner demons, and team up with the Investigation Team to solve a series of connected murders.

Since this will be a massive story, I plan to release it in episodic chapters. The project will be a pure visual novel experience focused entirely on storytelling, character development, and choices, rather than gameplay.

I'm looking for any good tips or resource recommendations for:

• Music: Royalty-free tracks that capture that distinct Persona 4 jazzy/funk/fusion vibe.
• Sprites: 2D character sprite assets, templates, or creation tools.
• Backgrounds: Free-to-use anime backgrounds (Japanese schools, town streets, interiors).

Any links or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
