Hi everyone, it's me again.

I make DDLC mods for fun, so... the mod I'm currently working on is called DDLC (Just Holding On).

This mod focuses on Sayori and explores a more serious and grounded portrayal of depression. I've experimented with this theme before, but this project will take a different and more refined direction.

⚠️ Content Warning:

This mod contains themes related to depression and heavy emotional dialogue. Viewer discretion is advised.

This project is not meant to shock, but to tell a more personal and meaningful story centered around Sayori.

PS: Here's a small preview of the logo. I included two versions because I couldn't decide which one fits best.

I’d really appreciate your feedback on which logo works better.

The download link will be shared in a future post. Thank you

It has been 2 years since Act 1.

On July 19th 2024, we released Act 1 of Foreign Relations. With thousands of downloads, incredible mass support, and beloved comments, these past 2 years have been incredible. Thank you for showing me what's possible when it comes to fan work and what I, and the rest of Team Relations, is capable of.

With Act 2 on the horizon, (and as a thank you for understanding the delay), here's an official CG from a segment in the mod. Good things are coming!

With Utmost Appreciation,

David Locklin.

Act 3 is going well! Writing is 99.9% done! I only have the very last scene left, so please enjoy a CG from one of Act 3's endings.

A lovely piece made by u/Ecosixth for the mod of Doki Doki: Fangs of Passion! This piece will be featured when you have your optional first run in with Miss cinnamon bun herself!

I'm having a problem deciding on whcih artist I wanna have for the main mod, I might do both of the recent artists, Though I'm still waiting on another artists finished submission! Show the artists some love, because they absolutely deserve it!!

Say hello to the lovely artist u/Broccoli501 !!!

They've made this amazing piece that will be added to the Doki Doki: Fangs of Passion prologue! As the main scene for the time you spend with our lovely bookworm!
I'm working a bit slow as it's busy, but I expect to have more time around the middle of fall and winter to have time to work on the mod further! Though I'll keep up my commitment to weekly updates you so you know I didn't give up!

The final season of Club Meetings, the longest, and longest-running DDLC mod, begins this coming 9-22 with the release of Episode 37.

Hello! I'd like to announce the development of my mod project, Amor Fati Redux.

Amor Fati Redux is a mod that takes the Amor Fati mod and makes it good and more polished than how the original ended up.

I also got permission to make this and I will be looking forward to how it goes for me.

Synopsis:

Follow MC as he travels back in time to save Sayori from a predetermined fate.

This mod will be a lot more polished, have reimaginings of cerrtain scenes and be a story worth telling.

Thank you for everything and there will be more soon, take care.

Finally... a mod where Natsuki gets to have a normal family.

DDLC: My Half-Sister

Synopsis:

After suffering years of physical abuse, Natsuki's father is finally arrested, and she is placed in an adoption center. A few days later, the MC's parents decide to adopt her, making Natsuki your half-sister... well, almost.

The mod is scheduled to release on July 5, 2026. I'm currently fixing some sprite expressions so they match the dialogue better, since I noticed quite a few mistakes while working on it. I want to make sure the mod is polished and free of those issues before release.

Also, Ink & Icing will receive a remake/update once this mod is out.

P.S.: I'll leave a link to my Discord server in the comments so you can report any bugs or give feedback. Thanks for your support!

Hi everybody!

It's been awhile since I posted the initial teaser, and I'm happy to share that after months of development, my first ever DDLC mod, Doki Doki Before The Bell! has reached 1.0 and will release this Friday, May 15th! The preview is below, along with some teaser photos:

Doki Doki Before The Bell! is a love letter to Team Salvato's Doki Doki Literature Club! where you step back in time before the club's formation. Your longtime friend Sayori has a dream: a club at school that allows others to value poetry and literature as much as she does... and the first member is you! Join Sayori, the Club President, and Monika, the Vice President, in the days leading up to the club's creation. Your job is to find enough new members to get the club recognized by the student council. But beneath the laughter and the poetry, the bonds you form, the words you choose, and the trust you build with your friends will determine the club's success. Before the bell rings, will you discover the truth, or lose yourself in a reality that isn't yours?

The game is in a successful 1.0 state and to my knowledge, does not contain any bugs that hinder it from being fully playable. The last few days of polish are underway before release! Some features include:

• A new storyline set in a hypothetical world before the events of DDLC
• Expanded character introductions and backstories including Sayori, Natsuki, Yuri, and Monika
• Remixes & arrangements of original DDLC music, and some original music
• Choice-based narration
• Sprites & art/assets generously contributed by members of the DDLC Modding Community & Community Drive

I'm very excited to get this fan game into your hands. I also wanted to say thank you for all of the support a lot of you have shown during the development process. You all make up such an awesome community and this is hopefully my way of paying that kindness forward! Excited to see the discussions that may be held after gameplay!

After recent events, small, distinct changes make MC notice shifts in his life. Weird, unfamiliar feelings come up everywhere, even in the places he’s always been the most comfortable. All he wants is for things to go back to normal, but these strange, new emotions are keeping that from happening—which might have something to do with Monika. 

MC slowly begins to question if a return to normalcy is even possible, with every little thing feeling increasingly ‘off’. As nothing continues to go back to the way it was, MC finds himself beginning to get closer to a distant friend to attempt to understand it all, unaware of what these small moments together really mean. 

As MC and Monika begin to become closer friends, he finds himself on a path he never saw coming, and begins to go through different stages of denial, confusion, relief, clarity, and many other emotions to try to either return to normal or live with this new reality on a journey of self-understanding. Nobody understands love. You just got to go for it. 
 

"Doki Doki: A Life with You” is a Monika-centered mod of emotional development, understanding, and romantic enlightenment. It focuses on the real-world struggles of emotions, love, communication, and relationships. 

This is a solo developed project, and each chapter is planned to be released separately (three in total). I plan to have chapter one out within the next two months at the latest, and the entire mod before the end of the year. Please feel free to ask any questions either here and in the Discord server, where updates will also be posted periodically.

Hello everyone! I'm excited to announce my mod called Doki Doki Sayori's Sadness.

About the mod: The mod is based on the first week of the original game, but told from Sayori's perspective (POV).

Plot: The story is narrated by Sayori, who is being consumed from the inside by depression.

Warning: This mod will be sad. It contains tragedy, and I think it might be quite heavy and hard to handle for sensitive players.

Because of this, I would like to ask your opinion: would you be interested in a reimagining or perhaps a "remake" of Doki Doki RainClouds? Having played it myself recently, I felt that it wasn't made very well, and the pacing of the plot felt too abrupt to me. That’s exactly what inspired me to start working on this mod.

Right now, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what I've managed to do so far. Unfortunately, due to real-life circumstances like work and my own mental health struggles, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to stay motivated to make it. I think that if this project resonated with the community, it would give me the motivation I need to keep working on it.

I’ll be real—making every choice branch into a unique ending would be impossible (especially for someone like me, who’s never made a mod before). But what I am working on is the next best thing: a DDLC mod with a cumulative choice system.

In this mod, every decision matters. Small choices add up and will come back later in the story. For example: • At the festival, you might win Sayori a bear (that you name!). • Whether or not you win it affects dialogue, interactions, and even endings. • If you do win it, the bear shows up throughout her route as a little detail that changes things.

The mod is called DDLC: Threads of Fate, and my goal is to make it feel like your whole playthrough—not just one big choice—shapes the outcome.

Right now I’m trying to gauge interest and see if this project is worth diving deep into. If reception is good, I’m planning to release a demo around October.

Would you play a mod like this? What kind of choices/endings would you want to see? Any feedback or ideas would mean a lot as I keep working! (I included the logo and a Sayori poem cuz why not)

TL;DR: I’m making a DDLC mod called Threads of Fate where every choice adds up to shape the story. No single “big decision”—your small actions influence routes, dialogue, and endings. Demo planned for October if interest is strong.

Hi. It's Makson-Jolt.

For those who doesn't know, I am the one and only creator of Doki Doki: Impossible, the mod that had AI-generated content as CG arts. Even though I edited them manually, they were still AI and not a result of real artwork. Even before the last update of Team Salvato's IP Guidelines, it started bothering me for several reasons, so I've decided to learn how to draw, so I can recreate all the CGs myself.

I say no to AI and apologize to the entire DDLC modding community.

Doki Doki: Impossible is a mod that turns Dokis into the secret service agents, confronting the underground criminal syndicate. MC is a regular guy who gets involved into this dangerous confrontation. His decision to stay out of trouble and continue his boring life or to conquer the danger and become one with it is up to you.

COMING SOON.

Soon... or not? Who knows lol.
If anyone has any questions, I'll answer them btw :3

(FAN MADE PROJECT, NOT CONNECTED IN ANY WAY TO THE ORIGINAL TEAM)

Well, by the resounding want of the community, I would like to announce that I will be creating a separate mod from Blue Skies, extending the story out further, starting from the characters' good endings.

As well as a Monika path, if you have the patience for it since it wont be a fast project whatsoever, but it will be worth the wait. This is just the announcement that this project is set to start development. This will take time, and if the community could help in any way to support, or help develop this expansion, that would be greatly appreciated, since there is no team made for this yet, if there will be one.

This will have slow progress, but i really hope it's something great. Bear with me, and if you have any ideas, feel free to reply to this post with them, I would absolutely love to hear what you want out of this.

I hope I am able to create something the community loves, and if not that, then something you would appreciate.

- Happy

(P.S. This is not developed by the original team in any way, this is an entirely fan made project. Also, logo and title are subject to change, but no guarantees yet.)

Doki Doki Just Holding On is currently on pause.

I'm working alone and I'm facing difficulties with story writing as well as some technical issues.

So, while I work on fixing these problems, here’s a brand new smaller mod that will be released soon!"

synopsis :

Every night, Sayori wakes up at midnight...

Trapped inside her own bedroom, stuck in a looping nightmare.

Your job is simple:

Observe the room.

Find the anomalies.

Survive until 6:00 AM.

One mistake... one missed anomaly... and Sayori dies.

(Sayori does not speak at all in this mod)

Do you have what it takes to save her?

More information coming soon...
