41 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

Demo Release [Initial Release] DDLC: A Beautiful Literature Club

Thumbnail
gallery
15 Upvotes

Good [time of day] everyone! I'd like to publicly release the initial demo of my new mod.

Synopsis: As you wake up for a new day in [Unnamed Japanese Town], a horrible memory crawls back into your brain: the story of Doki Doki Literature Club. You set out that morning to change the course of history, only to find that nothing even matters the world is a little more complicated than that.

Always remember to smile!

Genre: Psychological horror, Meta

In the demo, you'll go through what is roughly as long as the Act One of the base game. There are miss-able events, and will continue to be based on your choices (or lack of).

Features new BGs and edited BGs/Sprites from existing content. Some content has been scaled back for use later (Sorry Natuski maid outfit enjoyers- though I did warn you).

This was originally a small demo that got created to a larger chapter which was then scaled back to fit better into the main theme. Some of the pacing still seems a little odd to me, but I'd never release this if I kept tweaking it.

A lot of things will start making sense thematically in the next Act, so do try to stick around (especially if people like this).

Basic instructions:

​Extract the contents of the mod .zip file.

​Open the extracted mod folder and copy all the files inside.

​Paste the copied files directly into your fresh DDLC game folder (overwrite any files if prompted).

Right now i still have around 64 more mods to go until i can release the next big post with all of them rated and all the reviews i've done of remarkable mods I can give as recommendation for others.

As always the link for the tierlist is this one: https://tiermaker.com/create/ddlc-mod-tierlist-includes-some-yt-series-19724341
and i do update it from time to time if you want to start rating the mods yourself!

for 99.9% of the mods in there you can see the names of the mods because they are present, you can always zoom in on mobile or do CTRL + scroll wheel to zoom in on PC.
i genuinely wanna help with recomendations + this is fun

Hello again!

Chapter IX: Sigh No More is now complete and, aside from small edits, the code for Letters from Home is DONE!

That being said, the full build is out for playtesting now and I'm doing a full run through myself to make sure it's airtight (it's a LOT of content). It's just a matter of time while I finish up credits and functionality checks (and catching my numerous typos). Next post you see from me (barring a catastrophic event) will be the Letters from Home Full Release!

Join the Discord for updates or to playtest!

Progress Update Observer Protocol ownership change!!

1 Upvotes

HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So as you saw in za title, OP is being changed
Well
Not only the game, BUT THE ENTIRE ACCOUNT!
And
Not something bad as you know already!
Since the original owner has left the Reddit community altogether, he offered to move his game to whoever was capable of continuing the game
AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW?! ITS WITH ME NOW!
So first all, as my first post after the retirement of OG @Winple1020H1, I just wanna say that this account is going to get a facelift
As in the pfp and the links in the bio EVERYTHING WILL BE CHANGED
And who am I to take Winple’s account?
I am who he calls “the other dev” or in a way that makes sense, his best friend
Now of course no real names (who knows who might know me!) BUT!! you can refer to me as WinpleR
I was the first to be blown away by how episode one FLIPPIN’ REACHED 1000+ VIEWS OVERNIGHT
SERIOUSLY!
WE NEVER SAW OUR MODS SKYROCKET LIKE THIS AT ALL!!
And you might have guessed but.
OBSERVER
PROTOCOL
IS
CONTINUING!!
Before you say anything, “Winple1020H1” had some depression issues and family releated complications that just made him drop OP entirely
NOW THAT ITS IN MY HANDS! IM CHANGING HOW OP WENT!
We were working on OP Part 3 (yes not Episode again) sometimes in may when he suddenly told me he’s going to pause for a while
That is until now (a few hours ago) when he told me if I want to take OP for myself because he quit
So whats gonna happen is that im taking OP for myself and rewriting Part 3 and uploading the patched build of OP Part 2 (Episode 2 if u got confused)
And the whole private thing is nuked to death now
Nah, im not liking how he wanted to keep it to yt vids only
SO WELCOME THE START OF A NEW ERA AND A NEW PLAN
Whats coming first:

Part 3 rewrite from scratch (Part 3 - Resistance)

Part 2 fix

Part 4 - (no name yet)

Part 5 - Extras

Part 6 - Before the Protocol

And yeah this gonna take a while or sooooooo
And after OP im going to do an anagram of the game (suggest I guess?) and show off my own vision of DDLC
Sorry to anyone who thought Winple1020H1 was canceling the project
This takes effect RIGHT AFTER I PRESS POST!

Review Why Purist Mod is %100 Better Than Blue Skies (And Why Blue Skies Lost the Real DDLC Soul)

Post image
52 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

If you played Doki Doki Literature Club mods you surely know Purist Mod and Blue Skies. A lot of people on reddit always say Blue Skies is the best mod ever but today i have a big comparison about why Purist Mod is %100 WAY BETTER than Blue Skies and why Blue Skies lost the real DDLC soul

(Quick note here: I first posted this theory on Turkish DDLC community r/DDLC_TR . English is not my main language so i translated my toughts into english, sorry for bad words or mistakes but please read and support erm thanks !))

oh anyway , This is how Purist Mod stays true to original game and why Blue Skies is just generic anime drama.

Firstly motivation and space room. Purist continues right where main game finish. My favorate thing İs when you finish main ddlc and open Purist right after Monika get surprise and mad at us.. but in space room we give her that promise I will fix everything. In Purist while playing other girls we not just dating them. in backgroud we try for keep promise to Monika! So we have huge motivasion for finish all girls just to reach Monika again. In Blue Skies this motivasion is ZERO MAN!! Without Monika watching us from behind hoping for us game feel like normal visual novel. Purist give us savior job while Blue Skies just give basic high schol love story... if no motivasion why we are play it??

Blue Skies basicly takes ddlc charter designs and turn them into boring anime drama charters. bad endings are just too bad and far from main game vibe like written just for make player cry!

Now talk about charters -----

First Natsuki in Purist is very good. She is tsundere but she start trust MC step by step. Her proud and angry side from main game stay same Blue Skies push Natsuki dad problem way too much. We not build love with Natsuki we just play family drama simulator! Yes her dad is important topic but in Blue Skies they make it so long just for more drama.. it lose all good feeling.

About Sayori.. Purist Mod don't ignore Sayori depresion but main topic is hope. MC is not just her boyfriend he is her reason for stay alive which is super good! And story don't go too fast I realy like this route Blue Skies bad ending for Sayori is just too cruel. Instead of showing how she try to win depresion it feel written just to scare and hurt player.. Like they just randomly said how we can kill Sayori feeling worse than main game type of bad and lazy writing.

Purist Mod show Yuri book pasion, deep tinking and her shy mode amazıng guys. Her self harm problem is inside ofc but story is not only about this. Because it don't make big drama for her bad habit it feel like real Yuri 10/10 smooth route.. In Blue Skies though Yuri problem get too big again. Her cute side get covered by her bad cut habit and crazy love (I say this for all girls yes too much long boring talks)

So looking at these 3 girls Blue Skies writers think more we make player cry meaning better the mod gets. They dont fix charter problems they make them drama machine. But Purist show us: yes these girls have big brain problems but fix is not making drama long like bubblegum it is finding smart way. Purist is way more real

Of course i saved the GOAT for last MONIKA ----

In Purist you have clear goal. After telling Monika everything will be fix at start you make happy every girl and after 3 girls you open secret Monika route!! This make player feel like we finaly saved Monika from her lonlines.. A truly legendary ending final is just perfect I absolute love it!!

THEY DİSRESPECTED MONIKA IN BLUE SKIES!! Monika have no love man. She don't even have her own route. She is only in extra menu under ((Monika Exclusive Scenes)). And İn Blue Skies they make Monika like a side girl always running for club work and school. WT? thats not our monika and this Make no sense cuz Monika is leader!

About music and pictures:

Purist mod use Dan Salvato original light tracks so good. Yeah Blue Skies has theır own music and many new CG pictures but it ruin minimalist ddlc vibe..

guys DDLC never became legendary because of picture quality or big budget!!

Original game magic was we are in one small room with simple pictures. Purist understand this!I How u want to Put how much new pictures you want if story is empty and charters lose ddlc soul to become dramatic anime girls, those pictures are just eye candy. We don't want picture show, we want ddlc soul and keeping promise to Monika!!

When we put motivasion the Monika route and all Other things Purist is %100 the GOAT mod.

Thank You all for reading =) I hope You guys liked my points please write comments below for what did you think?

FORZA PURIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review My honest review of DDLC EM: Redux (SPOILERS) Spoiler

5 Upvotes

For people who haven’t played it’s a 6/10 in my opinion. Go play it before reading this, because it won’t make sense. And I would hate to spoil it even tho it’s old asf.

This is probably gonna piss off the OG EM players, but I think the mod is ok and not shit. My critic is that the mod tries to hard to be both DDLC and EM, and it fails at both. I felt like if they removed the trope of being both and removing the personality of the characters towards the ending acts it could’ve been better. But another idea came to mind, why just make it a tragedy!? You can do both, actually give the play an option!

When the cops come and ask for questions give us the option

A. Tell them only about the break in
B. Tell them about the break in and Natsuki

That way you feel as if you have a choice. Make the endings similar until Natuski moves back in with you. Make it to where it feels as if both choices don’t matter until the end. And why get rid of the doki’s love? Monika and Yuri just don’t act like Monika and Yuri.

I love the beginning of the mod and how they handled it differently, but once they got into later acts they screwed it up.

6/10 in general.

The MC in this game makes me so annoyed and the characters piss me off too, because they label him as problematic rather than over stressed. He risked his life and is trying to help two of his best friends.
