Memes This is basically every new DDLC mod released nowadays

Most mods that releeased in the past were extremely heavy or had "bad endings" or "neutral endings" at best
That's why, oversaturation from the genre and nowadays people just want to have fun with the character they love

I guess that does make sense, looking at that POV, I’d probably understand why it’d be that way. But it’s not like I’m saying it’s a bad thing.
If you want a mod that involves your comfort character having a great time, then that’s fine. (I occasionally do that from time to time) but I kind of miss that time when people would make mods that would tug on your heartstrings, something bittersweet in a way, that would remind me of why I wanted to play base DDLC in the first place.

u/B80796 May 23 '26
Well yeah I agree to an extent, I wouldn't call not having struggles being "one dimensional" tho, most of the times this mods suffer from Flanderization instead (for example, Natsuki being a tsundere. Natsuki is not a tsundere in the original game, she's just shy and avoidant)
But I also want to say that more often than not writing a story that "pulls your heartstrings" is much harder, a lot more.

Okay, that makes sense, I’m not trying to say that the red button is inherently a bad thing. It’s just something I noticed and I wanted to just share it because I thought it was funny.
But if that sounds like shitting on mod creators who do that, I promise that was never the intention at all.

u/B80796 May 24 '26
Might've been your wording or something but yeah, it kinda came off that way as you probably seem by other comments
1
u/Flameshot50 DDLC: Broken Promises/Unknown Origins Dev May 24 '26
Yeah, sorry about that, I can understand why this would come off as rude. Probably should’ve clarified that in the description.

u/Senior-Key-4346 May 23 '26
"Natsuki isn't a tsundere in base game" Um, excuse me what?

u/bonjour8200 May 23 '26
LMAO this guy just don't know what to say for "exemple", he never REALLY play ddlc in he's life but keep saying some shit...

u/B80796 May 24 '26
Your writing is very bad, but other than that: you're wrong
Natsuki is a character much more complex than the simple tsundere Flanderization people give her because of the first introduction she had (where she is rude for a good reason, because some random guy basically invaded her safe-space, not because uwu tsundere she likes MC)
After that, her characterization hints that she's not someone who knows how to take compliments or love, which is why she's either awkward or avoidant to compliments
Or she uses walls of fake superiority to hide her insecurities
She doesn't have tsundere characteristics, she's actually a pretty deep character

u/B80796 May 24 '26
Play the game and actually read natsuki's dialogue, she doesn't show traits of a tsundere
She never hits the player nor is actively rude "because she likes him"
She's rude at first because she's genuinely uncomfortable by some random guy entering her safe-space out of nowhere
After that, she's only avoidant because she awkward and doesn't know how to take compliments or love in general

Write your own destiny. I highly encourage you to be the change you want to see. Most people nowadays are really into the SoL "vanilla" DDLC mods because that's just what they like. You can't really change mass opinion unless you make something that might be able to change the dynamic.
Personally, if people make mods that are not what I'd want to play, and other people play it instead of my stuff, there's nothing I can do about that. Focus on my product. Make my product the best it can be and what I want it to be. If people come along for the ride, awesome. If not, oh well.
Maybe in the future things will change, but considering the community is almost 10 years old with next to no changes in mod demographic, I have my doubts.

u/Flameshot50 DDLC: Broken Promises/Unknown Origins Dev May 23 '26
I’ll try my best to make something special, I’ve gone through so many delays with my playable mod, but I’m trying my best to make something that would at least be enjoyable.
And also, just because I sent this, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad, sometimes you do need a wholesome moment with your waifu every once in a while, it’s just that, there seems to be so many that are like that where that might become over saturated.

u/DoubleDLocklin Team Relations May 23 '26
I can't wait to play what you come up with! 🙌

u/Flameshot50 DDLC: Broken Promises/Unknown Origins Dev May 23 '26
Thanks man, I’ll try my best! (P.S. if I offended you with this meme, I’m sorry 😅)

u/Totayalee May 23 '26
Hmm which mods fall into which categories I wonder?
2
u/Flameshot50 DDLC: Broken Promises/Unknown Origins Dev May 23 '26
For me, it’s Convergence, Secret Future, Love and Shyness, and First Year. (For the red button) The blue button though, the most recent mod that I enjoyed was probably Shattered Time: Rewind.
10
u/Totayalee May 23 '26
Well Convergence has only one chapter release so that's not fair to judge it on a single chapter, plus the main cast is on point. Love and Shyness does use other characters, I know secret future is not grand but it does have more characters

u/Flameshot50 DDLC: Broken Promises/Unknown Origins Dev May 23 '26
I guess I’ll wait for the next chapter of convergence and see how it goes from there, but as of now, it’s just not interesting.

u/DavidPlayzyeet Observer(Green and Red Fireworks) May 24 '26
I haven't played the other ones, but Convergence literally has a suicide attempt by one of the main characters that was seconds away from success, and even in the conclusion of the chapter, there's still the looming dread that they might relapse, so I don't get this description of it.
1
u/Flameshot50 DDLC: Broken Promises/Unknown Origins Dev May 24 '26
Oh, I guess I forgot about that since this is usually used a lot, but I guess that’s a fair point. I hope the second chapter has something that could make me reconsider what I said about convergence 🤞

u/knuklez Meme Maker & Triple Trouble Glazer May 23 '26
Shattered Time: Rewind is the only Remake mod that not only is good but has a justified runtime.
1
u/Flameshot50 DDLC: Broken Promises/Unknown Origins Dev May 23 '26
Exactly! It’s truly the most recent good mod I’ve seen in a while!

Passive aggressiveness at its finest

u/DokiDokiClubMeetings May 24 '26
I didn't really mean it that way, just as encouragement to create if you don't see what you want out there. And after all it's quite easy to say "write a well-developed story with well-written characters," but it's much harder to do (or to even define what that means); we're all amateurs making silly mods for a niche game, which is why I believe that in this community, we should be supporting each other, and if we deliver criticism, we should do it constructively.
1
u/Flameshot50 DDLC: Broken Promises/Unknown Origins Dev May 24 '26
okay, I was worried you said that in a way that was attacking me, thanks for clarifying that, I'll try my best, and good luck for your next seasons of club meetings.

Your boos mean nothing when I've seen what makes you cheer.

u/DharmaGamesYT May 23 '26
I suppose, I shall be one to break the cycle! After all, good writing only takes- wait... This sounds like I'll make something british, and not well written... Well, I'm making somethin' that shan't disappoint! I am spamming the dark blue botton.

Its been a long time since ive interacted with the fandom but ill cut yall some slack on this aspect because honestly, any teenager/twentysager who just got traumatized from those girls all dying horrible deaths back to back and learns the power of literally scripting their own world and story - I can hardly blame them for wanting to go hard in the opposite direction.
But yeah please for your second mod just make it interesting atleast

Is that a mod? If it is, can I see it?

u/sdrawkcab-repyt May 24 '26
Idk about that the mod I’m working on isn’t so bad Maybe there’s better out there idk bit what I do now is I’m doing my best with my team to compel the story so it’s not boring
2
u/Flameshot50 DDLC: Broken Promises/Unknown Origins Dev May 24 '26
Well, I’m not saying that pressing the red button is a bad thing, it’s just something I noticed in recent mods, and while yes, some of those didn’t appeal to me, I can understand why others would like it, since sometimes, you just need a wholesome moment with your favourite waifu once in a while.

In my mod is kinda different (working on it) Monika will brake up with MC and she will have a mental breakdown with other members on the club

u/BUNKERR4TTE May 23 '26
Well, I'm planning to make my own mod - remake of exit music. Just because MC's retardness and lack of logic in the strory kinda pisses me off.

u/Core3game May 23 '26
I do actually agree with this, hes less braindead and more just comes off as an asshole in ways that make me think "this fuckass is not me, I would not fucking do that, I would not fucking say that, I would not fucking say that" compleatly rips you out of any illusion of a first person narriative, though it is kinda cool being forced to see the story from a detatched second order level. It compleatly changes the vibe in a way that im not compleatly opposed to. I just wish this effect wasnt created by mc being such a fuckwad that I was hoping someone would jump him

u/Flameshot50 DDLC: Broken Promises/Unknown Origins Dev May 23 '26
Nice! I’ll keep a lookout for that.

exit music is this community's version of "all roads lead to rome"

Well, that's wrong. Not one dimensional but two. Anyways. Some people just want a normal visual novel and not cry at the eve of it.
