Various sources. Almost all of the early stuff comes from https://dova-s.jp, but nowadays I use a wider variety.
If I were to list all of my sources of inspiration, I'd be writing a book, but some of the more prominent ones would be Doki Doki Literature Club, Life is Strange, various mythologies and the many hundreds of anime and manga I've watched/read. Of course there are plenty of other games/VNs/stories/... that have inspired me to various degrees over the years, this is just a few of them.
This was actually insanely helpful for the BGM stuff with the amount of tracks I immediately recognized so thanks a ton you really helped me with that.
As well, if you don't mind ofc, would it be okay if I asked you some other questions every now and then? Ive never really done a project like this before and asking someone who has experience in the same type of project would be really helpful, only if its not a bother tho so feel free to say no.
I don't mind, but this comment section is probably not the best place to ask this stuff. I'm super active in my discord server if you ever want to chat: https://discord.gg/nGkDW7Ys2w
I talk about all kinds of stuff there, including game development.
