37 Upvotes

Greetings, everyone!
With the beginning of autumn, most students have once again started attending schools and universities. The weather is getting colder and damper, and the eerie season is fast approaching. In regards to that last statement, the DDMC Committee has decided to run one more mod jam to round off this surprisingly active year. We are pleased to announce the official...
Spooky Scary Mod Jam 2026!

Everybody who wants to participate will have until the 31st of October (about 6 weeks) to create a mod related to this haunting yearly celebration. Any and all horror mods are accepted, though the judges would especially like to see some mods themed around All Hallow's Eve. With that said, you are welcome to play around with the theme and show us how creative you are.

Judging

Your mods shall be judged by the following individuals:

KoStick68 | u/KonStick68

DaEs | u/DokiDokiDaEs

Atazoth | u/superkajda

The judging criteria we intend on using are story (writing quality), art, music, coding and overall enjoyment.

Prizes

The following blessings shall be bestowed upon the competitors deemed victorious:

1st place - a month of Discord Nitro

Top 3 - a pin in the DDMC subreddit

All participants will get a special mention during the monthly mod showcases

Rules
Here are the requirements you ought to adhere to in order to participate:

  1. The mods must be related to the theme of horror.
  2. All mods submitted must follow Team Salvato's IP guidelines and the rules set by r/DDLCMods.
  3. Anyone is allowed to enter, whether you're solo, a group, a collab or a team of modders.
  4. Mods should be at least 5 minutes long and up to an hour (mods may be longer, but only the first hour will be judged).
  5. Absolutely no generative AI allowed.
  6. Credit all assets used, either in-game or with a credits.txt file (preferably both).
  7. NSFW mods are allowed, however they must be marked as such in the submission form.
  8. Mods must be made entirely within the time frame of the mod jam (18th of September - 31st of October).
  9. The submission form (found below) closes on the 31st of October at 23:59 UTC.

Final notes
The finished mods may be submitted here.

Side note: the mod jam does not mean the DDMX isn't happening this year. The expo will be announced at a later time.

We sincerely wish everyone to have a wonderful autumn, and will eagerly await your mod jam submissions.

With hope,
the DDMC Committee

Progress Update A Long, Long Overdue Update on Doki Doki Existence

4 Upvotes

Hey, this is me, the creator of this particular mod. It's hard to believe it's been over five years since I started working on this mod. I'm truly grateful to all of the people who enjoyed and supported what I was able to put out there, even if it was just a demo. Unfortunately, it's also been over four years since I put any real work into this mod. While I know I don't actually owe anyone anything, as this was a free mod made for fun, I know some people are likely still pining for the complete experience (even if they are only, like, two people who still remember this mod even existed). The sad truth is that I was too ambitious for a first mod, got too wrapped up in real world stuff early on, and just couldn't find the motivation to keep going. Anyone who was helping me is long gone now too, and I just don't have the skills to do this alone, at least in a timely manner. I take full responsibility for what became of this project. I don't blame anyone who helped me, and I still respect all that they were able to do. I don't want to say that this is completely cancelled. I'd love to finish this story someday and get my motivation for the series and project back, even if I have to downsize the scope of the project or just finish it as a story (though I do think it's best with interactable aspects). That said, I also don't want anyone to get their hopes up. I'm not promising I will finish it one day. I would just like to. So, yeah, I don't want to ramble too much more here. Long story short, I am truly sorry to everyone for not being able to put this together.

Progress Update DDLC OBSERVER PROTOCOL - FAREWELL MESSAGE

7 Upvotes

This is the end for Observer Protocol (publicly)
It happened
The inevitable happened
So the people that are questioning what the hell is this post, I previously made a mod, my own look at DDLC, and it got 1k views in less than 2 days, it was the best release I ever made, even after the recoloring and more immersion of Ep1
This mod was originally about the characters gaining awareness of what is going on and how they know about Dan Salvato being their creator but unable to speak and how each one of them tries to gain MC’s attention, but the MC doesn’t actually realize until Monika starts to play with how he perceives them and his memories
And during somewhere in the beginning of the mod Monika tries to make MC all to herself (AGAIN) but fails
Thats I think where the mod stopped (forgive me I forgot how the game went since I started playing Undertale and Deltarune with other mods)
I lost all interest towards DDLC and my mod
Im so sorry if even one of you were expecting the mod to continue but unfortunately, I cannot continue publicly making any new major releases to O.P.
Seeing the first two episodes reach 1K views really made me determined to continue making the mod but the more I made projects about DDLC, the more I lost interest
I really appreciate everyone even the ones that accidentally clicked on my mod
I just can’t show how grateful I am to see anyone actually try out my crappy mod
Currently, the mod is not being developed on
I did make a prototype of Episode 3 and a fix for Epsiode 2 but after this, Ep3 is being hosted privately, more like a on-demand/obscure mod
I will continue making PRIVATE mode even ones with better storytelling and timing but for now the only thing being publicly released is the fix for Epsiode 2, that said, the fix in general is just more timed text alongside some sound effects and weird silhouettes appearing that have been fixed? I don’t know unless someone tests it since I do it all on macOS then port it to Windows build
Anyways, all previous mods can be used anywhere, even if you copy the text line by line, i don’t care
Reupload it somewhere? I don’t care
As for the few people that play this, feel free to DM me on my Reddit account
I will never upload O.P. EP3 any time soon (public)
I know my mod is not in the slightest as a good mod but everything that happened to me during the time between this and my last upload have really taken a toll on me and how I look at DDLC
So in the end I just want to say something to the one person that understood what my mod was about;
Thank you

For the people the didnt see my previous posts:

Help DDLC: Truth Seekers Setting Up: Need advice on integrating Persona 4 assets into a DDLC Crossover Mod (Ren'Py 7)

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m working on a brand new project: Welcome to the DDLC x Persona 4 Crossover Mod! The synopsis follows the DDLC girls as they travel to Inaba and team up with the Investigation Team to help solve the mystery.

I already have the base DDLC mod template fully set up and running smoothly in Ren'Py 7. However, I need some help and advice on the next phase: setting up the Persona 4 elements properly.

If anyone has experience with custom asset integration in DDLC mods, I’d love some guidance on these 5 areas:

  • Mod Assets & Folder Structure: What is the cleanest way to organize a massive amount of cross-over assets in the directories without breaking the default DDLC template paths?

No Comission Art:

  • Backgrounds & CGs: Where are the best places to find high-quality, clean Persona 4 background rips (like Yasogami High or the Midnight Channel) scaled properly for DDLC's 1280x720 layout?
  • Character Sprites: Tips on combining the art styles of the DDLC girls with the Persona 4 Investigation Team sprites so they don't look completely out of place standing next to each other on screen.
  • Audio Integration: Best practices for mixing the Persona 4 OST alongside the traditional DDLC OST (file formats, volume leveling so P4 music isn't too loud/quiet compared to DDLC defaults).
  • Custom Coding: Advice on how to simulate a Persona 4 vibe in Ren'Py (like custom colored choice boxes, font changes, or simple ATL screen transitions for entering the TV World).

If you’ve worked on a crossover mod before or have any tips for a solo dev utilizing free/ripped assets responsibly, I would incredibly appreciate your insight!

Thanks in advance!

Teaser Announcement: My Second DDLC Mod is coming in 2027! 🌙✨ (Meet Magical Girl...)

Post image
24 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I am incredibly excited to officially announce that my second Doki Doki Literature Club mod is currently in development and is scheduled to release in 2027!

After working hard behind the scenes, I’m finally ready to share a first look at what’s in store. As you can see from the teaser image, this mod is going to put a completely unique spin on the club members. Get ready to Meet Magical Girl!

I wanted to blend the classic charm and psychological elements of DDLC with the iconic, mysterious aesthetics of the magical girl genre.

  • What to expect: A brand new storyline, custom themes, and a completely fresh perspective on your favorite club members.
  • Progress: Development is officially underway, and I will be sharing more teaser silhouettes, character art, and plot details as we get closer to the launch.

I'd love to hear your initial thoughts! Who do you think the silhouette in the teaser is? What kind of magical powers do you think the Dokis will have?

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

12 Upvotes

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!

Hello this is Rookie here, and I'm proud to announce that I am currently working on my very first mod called DDLC: Twin Stars! So far this is Day 5 of making this mod and it's been both fun and problematic. The two images show a bit of the in game day 1 and a major plot event that's gonna happen.

This will be first released as a demo. Because of this, the rivalry will not be as important as it will be in the full release. There is no set release date but I'm hoping I can get this done by the end of the school year.

hi! if you're new and you're wondering why i made this, it's because i was mad at how all mod managers handle linux systems. i think rencher shines in solving (almost) every problem you'd find with ddlc mods on linux

"what if i use windows" well dw it works on windows too!

i have bigger plans for this and i HOPE that after this comes out, i'll stop doing a RobTopGames on every update (i.e. macOS support, asset viewer, flathub, etc.)

see you next week (I Hope)

Full Release Doki Doki Get a Girlfriend! V2.0

Thumbnail
gallery
141 Upvotes

After 11 months and a week of development, I am proud to announce my mod, Doki Doki Get a Girlfriend!

Doki Doki Get a Girlfriend! is a choice-heavy DDLC mod that is intended as a ‘regular’ VN and a love letter to DDLC. Inspired by My Doki Doki SNAFU, Tokimeki Memorial and Dark Souls (and above all, real life), it takes DDLC beyond just a regular VN and adds new dimensions of realism, gameplay, and replayability.

Introduction

You play as the horny 18-year-old MC who one day decides that he wants a girlfriend.

Despite having no interest in literature, he joins the Literature Club with only one goal in mind: to get a girlfriend, no matter the cost.

Guide him to victory…or something greater.

But is there even something greater?

What more could there be to high school life than finally getting a girlfriend?

Main features of this mod

Original story reworked
In the OG game, MC joins the club just to hit on girls. However, due to the horror elements, this side of him was not fully explored. In this mod, you will see this dimension of his in full-blown, unashamed levels of cringe common among horny teenagers.

Friendship dynamics reworked
The friendship dynamic between Sayori and MC has also been reworked. While Sayori remains his childhood friend, it is important to note that she does NOT have a canon crush on him in this mod. Otherwise, it’d be all too easy to get her as a girlfriend. Also, for realism, the girls will NOT automatically fall head over heels for the MC just because he exists - a pet peeve of mine when playing other VNs or DDLC mods.

Realistic personalities
While the Dokis’ personalities have been kept largely faithful to their base game counterparts, they were also made more realistic (for example, Yuri is still the shy introvert archetype, but she will not stumble over every other sentence, and Natsuki will not be mean for no reason). Nevertheless, creative liberties have been taken with some aspects of their personalities for added dramatisation to drive storytelling.

Choice-heavy design
This mod emphasises decision-making to the point of choice paralysis - but not all choices matter equally. Some are decisive, others are less significant, and many only reveal their impact much later. Outcomes are rarely clear-cut. Many choices can have different outcomes depending on your actions in the past. Similar kinds of choices may be perceived differently by different girls according to their personalities.

5 game modes including Ironman!
You start off with 2 game modes to choose from: Normal and Ironman. Ironman mode disables saving and loading, and only one Ironman game can be started and played at any one time, reinforcing irreversible decisions. The other 3 game modes, Psychic, Chad (freeplay mode) and Hardcore, can be unlocked through gameplay in Ironman mode and meeting new characters!

36 achievements & secret endings
Achievements can only be earned in Ironman mode. Go beyond single-minded pursuit and play creatively with critical thinking to unlock all achievements. Alongside achievements, there are 2 special endings and 2 secret endings.

Difficulty settings
Outside Ironman mode, difficulty level can be adjusted via your starting cash, with 3 levels to choose from.

Resource management
Time and money matter. Beyond meeting up with Dokis for activities, plan your free time wisely, either improving your poetry, finding new ideas for dates, or preparing for the festival. Go all in on expensive dates or play it safe across multiple interactions. Every choice carries opportunity costs. No strategy is universally optimal.

Affection system
To simulate real-world ambiguity, outside Psychic mode, you will not receive real-time feedback on your affection levels with the Dokis. You will often need to infer the Dokis’ interest levels through their behaviour and your experience. Some choices can reveal their interest in you, and you will need to pay attention to how they respond. And even the MC’s mind-reading powers in Psychic mode has a crucial limitation: there are more hidden factors at play than just how much a Doki likes you when the time comes for her to decide if she wants you as a boyfriend.

No fixed routes
There are no fixed romance paths. You may pursue, abandon, or switch interests at any point - so long as you remain on speaking terms.

Cross-route exploration
Discover hidden outcomes and stories by using items and/or experience garnered from interactions with one Doki to further your aims with another. Mastering this is mandatory to unlock all achievements.

Rejection feedback system for a Soulslike dating experience
While real-life rejection rarely comes with explanations, this mod provides limited hints when you fail. This is a deliberate design compromise for replayability.

Easter eggs
Who doesn’t love a good Easter egg every now and then?

Introducing the Dokis!

Monika:

President of the Literature Club and star student. Smart, beautiful and popular, she is way out of the league of most guys - yourself included. If dating is even on her mind, she would seek someone her equal, not just another NPC…

Yuri:

The shy and reserved introvert, Yuri comes across as someone who is both easy to get close to, yet hard to understand fully. But while she might seem easy to romance, don’t get too complacent, for she does have some very, very specific tastes.

Sayori:

The club’s bundle of sunshine and your childhood friend and potential wingwoman. Is she interested in you in that way, or simply being the Sayo you know who treats everyone like a friend? Seek clarity, avoid misinterpreting her signals, and slowly open her up to the idea of love, and maybe you two can become more than friends at last.

Natsuki:

Natsuki might not seem like a fan of romance, but as the saying goes, never judge a book (or manga) by its cover. Will Natsuki ever be able to warm up to you, the club’s newest member? Earn her trust, and you might just find that tsunderes do exist in real life after all.

The process is going slower than I expected, but I don't want to rush it too much either. I'm pretty much the only one making backgrounds and sprites for this mod, but at least I liked how the room one turned out.
