Everyone was in character, I liked all the fanmade ones just genuinely peak, I need chapter 2

The music, especially the characters themes were so good, too

Im gonna give Snafu another try and hope the characters start acting more like themselves, especially Monika and MC

If you have any monika z mc mod recommendations, please comment, not within, though. i already know monika dies and I ain't playing it

It's here! Doki Doki: A Racer's Dream Act 2 Demo Release!

Link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/jy74446yq5n5d61/ARacersDream-0.3-Renpy7Mod.zip/file

Android port isn't working, so I'll hold off on that for now.

Hey, everyone! First off, I am sorry for the 8 day delay from the original planned release date. I ran into a huge bug which hindered reworks n' all. I am terribly sorry, and I hold myself accountable for such.

Anyways, here's what's new:
- Act 2 Demo: Includes 2-in game days along with one side story.
- More choices within Act 2, and something with the MC starts to brew.
- Slightly reworked Act 1, with additional content (one more side story).
- 5-6 new renders!

I hope you all enjoy what's new! It really isn't that much, but factors such as school and everything else really caused development to slow down. Since it's summer, I can develop Act 2 much faster since I have a lot of free-time.

A Racer's Dream also got a slightly tweaked synopsis. Here it is:

16 years ago, MC watched his mother get murdered right in front of his eyes. To escape this horrible memory, he threw himself into street racing. After 2 years of racing, he quits, wanting to start a new life.

Moving to Akiga, things start to go well. He joins the Literature Club and bonds with Yuri, a shy bookworm. However, MC uncovers that Yuri's mother was recently shot and kidnapped into the underground street-racing scene. Yuri pleads for MC's help.

At first, MC refuses, not wanting to relive a horrible memory. However, he reluctantly accepts and gets dragged back into the street-racing scene. Though, as he races, long-buried secrets start to arise, forcing him to face a past he thought he left behind.

Will he be able to rescue Yuri's mother? Or will the truth come crashing back to tear him apart?

Thank you so much for following the development of this mod, and I hope you enjoy!

A great mod in the big 2026! For being the first mod I genuinely installed in my computer, I can say I was pleasantly surprised when this wasn't you average mod and instead a LONG, genuinely great mod!

First thing that comes to my mind (for some reason) is that this mod does right what World of Dreams did wrong! I only see minor issues regarding characterization and acting. (such as the main character getting too attached to the cast despite what his real life role in the story is, however this could be implying something? is he just a normal guy? is this not a normal mod at all? who knows)

The custom art and scenery hit the nail too. That being said, for a mod called "Interaction", there isn't much option choosing in the first place, and I feel like the teaser didn't exactly show what "Interaction" truly meant in regards to the mod in the first place. There are some scenes that feel a bit out of place, such as the first major glitch and the Beta Monika scene (props to that one though I'll give it that) but since this IS act 1 (and I don't know how many more acts are planned) I'm sure it will end up making sense in the future.

Only other things that substracted from the experience was the ABUNDANCE OF EXPRESSION. Yes, you heard me right, the characters are TOO physically expressive. The MC BLINKS too much at times, Yuri sighs quite often, and this can drag on for sometimes, but at the same time adds to characterization no matter what! Do wonder what would be the lore reason as to why we can catch the MC blinking... Quite the attention to detail!

Even with all these complaints, the mod itself has a very compelling story that I found very entertaining and watchable. Everything about it makes me FEEL something and the last day is SPECIALLY gutwrenching... So heartbreaking... And it's not even some Exit_Music_Within_protag_death.png type shit or anything but sure does put that feeling in you from all the tension! For the first mod I genuinely install on my PC, it was a hell of a ride to go through, HOLY HELL, like I was writing this review and shit keeps surprising me from time to time. THE PAINTING SCENE! HOW CAN YOU MAKE A NON-DEATH THIS GUTWRENCHING?!?! THIS UNNERVING AND IMPACTFUL FEELING ARGH! NOTHING HAS FEELT LIKE THIS BEFORE AND I'M SO FOR IT! I loved every second of it.

The custom OST is also wonderful and adds another level of immersion into the atmosphere of the mod. It's just so beautiful. Like Jesus CHRIST!!! THE WHOLE THING IS GOOD ALREADY ARGH! TOO MUCH PEAK! This review might already be becoming redundant and repetitive at this point but i CANT help it with how PLEASANTLY SURPRISED this mod has left me! Its impressive!

In short, I simply love this mod. I'd say it left me speechless if it wasnt for the abundance of speech i've written. It's just beautiful. I cannot glaze It enough. Recently, I know I did a tierlist where I ranked some mods and put them in tiers, and honestly? Even if I WAS able to acknowledge I have ANY kind of bias towards, this mod, I'd put it in S. No contest! One of the best mods I've played!

PS. To the dev, I just read the final letter. Your effort is 100% noticable and I HOPE it was all the worth while to you. Also HOLY CRAP YOU WROTE IT ON THE WORLD CUP FINAL? Just... That's how one knows its heartfelt. Jesus.

I'm curious about how it works. I'm hoping to possibly use it for a mod or personal project, so I want to figure it out, but I'm having trouble. I've been looking through the code of both mods, but I simply can't figure out how it works or even where in the code it's stored. There's so much to look through.

I'm new to Python, so I might just not be understanding it, but I hope I can. Just pointing me in the right direction of where in the code that part is stored would help.

Salut ! Si tu vois ce message, je suis ravi de t'annoncer que je vais bientôt sortir mon premier mod. Je l'ai presque entièrement créé avec Claude, à l'exception de l'interface, que j'ai faite moi-même. Elle n'a rien d'exceptionnel et n'est pas encore terminée, mais je peux te montrer le menu. S'il te paraît moche, c'est normal, c'est même le but. Bref, voilà ; il sera disponible en anglais et en français.

I know these are two are some of the more popular recent mods, I just notice how when they are talked about, they get a high amount of upvotes compared to other mods.

They must be very similar together, one being one of the best all girls mod and the other being one the best Monika focused mods. Feels like these two are the most popular atm?

What do you guys think is there a reason they get more upvotes than other mods, are they similar, what do you think?

Good morning people, hope everyone's okay and having a great week.

Well, it's like the title said. I'm looking for some mod suggestions to play but I'm interested in mods that you consider that respect the canonical traits and personality of Sayori and that expands her route and/or experience the most

I want to understand her as best as possible, to try to think as her and how she would react to some specific scenarios and situations.

So, that. Any recommendations you have would be appreciated

I don't really know how to look into mods. I can't tell what mod I'd be interested in because if I do im just spoiling it for myself. I dont want anything I already know about the ddlc to be removed or contradicted in a mod, I just kinda want an expansion that follows the original creator's vision. Any suggestions that stay true to the original games and offer new meaningful experiences? Maybe it sounds ignorant that I can't separate a mod from the game but idk. I really just want more, and if there isn't anything more that stays absolutely true to the original game im not interested. Also I definitely don't want anything sexual in the mod than beyond what is in the original. Sorry if I am being very picky, especially since Ik a lot of work goes into the mods. That being said any suggestions?

While all 3 mods were tragic but beautiful in their own way, I feel like Exit Music Redux tricked me the most. Despite never playing it and knowing it has a reputation as a staple of the modding community and has also been labeled as sad, I should have known better than to expect a happy ending, but it still played me for a fool anyway, lmao.

I think it's because with Within and Fallen Angel, you know that Monika and Yuri were still in the vicinity of the things that were dangerous to them, such as Monika's abusive father and Yuri's knife collection. But with Exit Music, I let my guard down when Natsuki's dad got arrested. When it got to the ending, I was not prepared to see Natsuki like that; it made me tear up, alongside MC not getting the help he needed and officially reaching his breaking point. Just heartbreaking stuff all around. I'm a fool for thinking that MC going to the police was going to fix her mental health, when in reality it was only going to make her relive her trauma.

I really loved how the devs animated the sprites through movement to convey expression. While this is only my 6th mod, and the original game and the mods I've played kind of did that, they didn't do it to the extent this mod did, and I thought it was really creative. I also loved how immersive every scene felt with the weather and visuals too.

The only problems I had with this mod are the club treating Monika like she was Satan for coddling Sayori too much. I thought it was kind of ridiculous; I get it, but damn, it just felt cruel how they acted toward her. The pacing dragged on at certain times too, but that's about it.

All in all, I don't regret going on this depression spree of mods. They're all heartbreaking, but people were right to say these are must-plays and to put them in high regard. They all deserved their reputations, they all built up the relationships with each character and made them so heartwarming and romantic , but that's what adds on to the tragedy of it all. If you're still kind of new much like me to DDLC mods, I definitely recommend playing these.

Oh yeah, how could I forget the soundtracks for these? All incredible soundtracks, all memorable. The songs in these three made every moment of their respective stories better. Blue Skies for me though is still number one regarding soundtracks I've heard so far, it's just so peak, but these are definitely S-tier and in my top four still, though to be fair I haven't played many mods so far, so maybe that'll change as I play more.

With all of that being said, I am definitely taking a week break from sad mods for real this time, lmao. For a mod to even be truly sad, it has to have multiple endings at the minimum. These mods definitely took fragments of my soul.

Is there a mod which is about the aftermath of Act 1, instead of just restarting at the beginning? I really don't care how the story of it goes, I've just been looking for a game that talks about how each character adapts perhaps, and all that.

​

The only real differences there are with him are circumstantial

For example, obviously turning a 50%character into a 100% character will make them a bit different, but he still feels very similar to DDLCs MC, like I said, hes a little different, but he still has the same personality traits, the same flaws, and the sane strengths, also, hes less romance focused, but thats because hes not a dating Sim protagonist, so again, a mostly circumstantial change

Doki Doki View To The Future: Primer vistazo

¡Muy buenos días, tardes o noches a todos!

En la publicación de hoy quiero presentarles un mod en el que el equipo Future In Mind Productions ha estado trabajando. Llevamos aproximadamente dos meses de desarrollo (probablemente un poco más) y creemos que ya es el momento de mostrar el primer avance aquí en Reddit.

Adjuntamos un video del menú principal y una escena del inicio del mod. Todo lo mostrado está sujeto a posibles cambios antes del lanzamiento de la demo o de la versión final.

Hablando un poco más del proyecto

Descripción / Sinopsis:

Nuestro protagonista pensaba que su vida había alcanzado por fin un equilibrio perfecto: un gran grupo de amigos, un club que se había convertido prácticamente en una segunda familia y una relación que parecía tener un futuro prometedor. Sin embargo, cuando una serie de acontecimientos inesperados rompe esa estabilidad, se verá obligado a afrontar sentimientos para los que nadie está realmente preparado. En una historia centrada en la superación personal y el apoyo mutuo, el protagonista descubrirá que, incluso después de los momentos más dolorosos, siempre existe la posibilidad de mirar hacia el futuro.

Rutas:

La versión completa tiene planeadas cinco rutas: cuatro para las protagonistas originales y una quinta dedicada a un personaje muy querido por la comunidad... ¡Kotonoha!

Duración estimada:

Muy larga, aproximadamente similar a la del mod Blue Skies, o incluso mayor.

Fecha de lanzamiento:

La versión completa aún no tiene una fecha de lanzamiento definida. Esperamos poder compartir una estimación durante el próximo año. Como agradecimiento por todo el apoyo, queremos anunciar que la demo está prevista para este año, con un lanzamiento estimado a más tardar en noviembre. Sin embargo, es posible que esté lista antes. Lo único que puedo prometer es que la primera versión jugable saldrá este mismo año.

Bueno, eso es todo por el día de hoy. Espero que este nuevo proyecto sea de su agrado y que disfruten de este primer vistazo. Estaremos encantados de leer sus críticas constructivas, opiniones y sugerencias. Si les interesa seguir el desarrollo del mod, pueden unirse a nuestro servidor de Discord, donde compartimos avances de forma periódica. Nuestro Discord!

Sin más que decir, espero que disfruten los videos y muchas gracias por leer hasta aquí.

Hello everyone,

It's been a bit since I updated about the Doki Doki: Lucid Dreamers mod, but I'm back to inform about two things.

First of all, I want to talk about how last post I mentioned about the possibility of having a demo, and now I can officially confirm that we will release a demo of Doki Doki: Lucid Dreamers Act 1.

We intend to release the demo in the end of the summer, tho don't take it as a sure thing that is gonna happen, because when I have sure, I'll come with an official demo release date.

Second, I want to talk about the sprites of the OCs used in the mod.

Since my post didn't had any answer, we decided to use free-to-use OC sprites from the community.

Chad - Luke

Metal - William

Goro Toyama - Professor Sato

With that, you can expect in the few days 3 new posts of facts, this time about those OCs.

Thank you guys and stay tuned ;)

This is a genuine question while I work on the mod:

Do you want a mobile port? And I will plan to do translations, I need to know what languages would you like me to add in the mod?

Thanks for your time!

Doki Doki View To The Future: First Look

Hello everyone! Good morning, afternoon, or evening! Today I'd like to introduce a mod that Future In Mind Productions has been working on. We've been developing it for about two months (probably a little longer), and we feel it's finally the right time to share our very first preview here on Reddit. We're attaching our new logo, a preview of the main menu, and a scene from the beginning of the mod. Please keep in mind that everything shown is still subject to change before the demo and the final release.

A little more about the project

Description / Synopsis:

Our protagonist believed his life had finally reached the perfect balance: a great group of friends, a literature club that had become a second family, and a relationship that seemed to have a bright future ahead. However, when a series of unexpected events shatters that stability, he'll be forced to face emotions that no one is ever truly prepared for. In a story focused on personal growth and mutual support, the protagonist will discover that, even after the most painful moments, there's always a chance to look toward the future.

Routes:

The full release is planned to feature five routes: four for the original girls, and a fifth route dedicated to a character already well known and loved by the DDLC community... Kotonoha!

Estimated Length:

Very long, roughly comparable to Doki Doki Blue Skies, or possibly even longer.

Release Date:

The full version doesn't have a release date yet. We hope to share an estimated release window sometime next year. As a thank-you for all the support we've received, we'd also like to announce that the demo is planned to release this year, with a target of no later than November. It may even be ready sooner, but one thing I can promise is that the first playable version will be released this year.

That's all for today! We hope you enjoy this first look at the project, and we'd love to hear your constructive feedback, suggestions, and opinions. If you'd like to follow the development of the mod, feel free to join our Discord server, where we regularly share development updates.Discord Server

Once again, thank you so much for reading, and we hope you enjoy the videos!

What does this mean? Like can mobile versions be available on mediafire or something? I see them in places but have no idea if they're supposed to be there.

(ANSWERED)

I'm currently in the process of writing a DDLC mod, or to be more technical, it's more of a fanfic soon to be playable

It's still a long way to go, and the process is a bit slow due to it not being a priority unlike other projects of mine, but it's something i want to see through and get done.

I'm currently about let's say 60% done with the first chapter out of seven (The story i've planned is very long), and i'm a bit worried that conceptually it might be too ambitious, but i guess i'll have to see when i get to the part of making it into a fully playable mod.

I don't have a team for it yet, so for now i would be in charge of writing and music as i'm already a music producer so i can take care of that as well. That would leave visual art, coding and maybe a second writer/consultant since i might have to correct and/or add stuff in, i'm very new to this whole writing a visual novel thing.

That would be it. I'd like to know what tips you could give me regarding the process of writing and getting a team together for it as i've never done anything like this before lol, anything is appreciated!
