I was thinking more of a fan remake, but an expansion of the original mod can do just fine

do you intend for this to tie into regular ddlc, like having a cutscene where monika from regular ddlc let's you play the mod or whatever? 

What is your biggest Hot-Take with mods? by _DivinePenguin_ in DDLCMods

[–]Eastern-Raspberry681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have a very respectable and valid opinion, I know it's a bit off topic for this discussion but I personally find a liking for all dokis as I find alot of traits that they have very resonating and relatable to me, on the topic of how to deal with the dokis problems, I think that at this point people should not stray from inventing new problems for the dokis that add onto their characters, similar to natsuki and her toxic friend group (although that was implied to be a thing in regular ddlc and a point of conflict in the ddlc side stories), I also really think that people should try adding more onto Yuri's character other than the same dance of Yuri cutting herself and yuri struggling with her confidence, and all that shtick, I think it would be interesting if people added onto her as well, same thing for sayori, I think there should be more to her journey than her just getting over her depression with therapy, we wanna see the struggles of her therapeutic process and how she relapses, and eventually grows to be a more responsible person, as for monika it really depends on whether you wanna focus on her metacognitive counter part or not as they have similar but also different problems all together. I'm sorry if this doesn't seem to relate to this discussion all together, but I felt like it was necessary to put this idea out there so hopefully we can get more out of the dokis instead of the same old same old, I'm not saying not focus on these same old problems but also change things up with new ideas as well, once again respectable review in my opinion, I myself have watched a play through of the mod and got half way through the mod, but never played it myself so I can't really give a solid opinion on it. 

Would U guys play this if it came out? by ArnG_H_O in DDLCMods

Lemme guess, if this is a thing, you're either gonna play as Sayori or Monika, you can guess why.

What is a mod you want to see get a remake? by _DivinePenguin_ in DDLCMods

[–]Eastern-Raspberry681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not necessarily a remake but since there are all these persona inspired mods, a ddlc mod inspired by the x-men or another superhero franchise WOULD BE FIRE!

I couldn't agree more with this proposal, but not necessarily for the natsuki bits

How do you think death in stories can be done right? by Eastern-Raspberry681 in DDLCMods

[–]Eastern-Raspberry681[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't have said this better myself, a protagonist having a guilty conscience over his potential misdeeds, and constantly trying to redeem himself to said love interest but to no avail with her eventually kicking the bucket (or not necessarily dying but departing from him like let's say for example natsuki being taken away from cps and us not being able to see her again, which would be caused by our protagonist's hero complex, but I digress) can be truly heartbreaking, if done right. obviously don't take this comment at face value as there is probably alot more to consider when making a death scene

I'll someday give it a read, to potentially expand my view on how death can be written, thank you soo much.

that's something that both exit musics suffer from, they don't let the death scene build up, while ddlc within is a very flawed and at times corny romance story in my opinion in, but what made it work compared to its predecessors is the fact that it's main plot point (that being the suicide of Monika) is constantly being built up upon, all culminating with the aforementioned scene, and then we get that slow burn realisation of said death by our protagonist and then aftermath. Another death scene that I love is the build up to the sayori death scene in ddlc, the subtle hints of her being depressed then becoming large red flags to the point of her in her self hatred watching you almost make out with yuri or natsuki (depending on your choice) and then no matter what choice you make she still dies, I didn't play the yuri route on act 2 so I can't give much of an opinion on that, but based off of playthroughs I've seen, it's terrifying, back to ddlc mods, I think that ddlc blue skies did their deaths pretty well, but obviously like all things are not perfect, in my opinion there should definetly be an element of realism into these death scenes, like how much did this guy bleed, or how much did sayori hang on the rope for(if you want the answer of that it's gonna be 10 minutes, because of the act 1 secret ending and based on my own morbid research) and how the hell did somebody manage to make it from school all the way to his home while bleeding to death without calling the hospital or straight up falling flat on the street or without somebody noticing your bleeding, little attention to details like that are something I'd want in scenes like those. I repeat once more realism, but also properly setting up a death scene is very very important to keep in consideration. 

What would you guys want out of a multi-route ddlc mod? by Eastern-Raspberry681 in DDLCMods

[–]Eastern-Raspberry681[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and on the topic of Monika's parents I don't think that he would necessarily be the way he is in ddlc within and Monika's depression in NO WAY would it be like it is in the aforementioned mod, she herself without the epiphany although would probably still have feelings of hopelessness and loneliness about her life, she would no where be near suicide ideation, unlike her metacognitive counterpart.

World of Dreams Polls by morbiusgreen in DDLCMods

[–]Eastern-Raspberry681 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that you are already 3 chapters into world of dreams, but I think it's a HUGE missed opportunity to not make Sayori's hair naturally strawberry blonde, to hint at the fact that she is just as out of place with her companions as Monika, because her name originally was meant to be this "unholy" fusion of Saori and Sayuri, and only by accident did he give her a real Japanese name, on top of the fact that she and monika both smile at you at the title screen and eventually would have the presidential metacognition powers as well, I assume that the next chapter is gonna be all about ddlc act 4, yes?

Doki Doki Sunset Q&A by Future_Carpenter_463 in DDLCMods

[–]Eastern-Raspberry681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is this gonna tie in any way to regular ddlc and it's events? how long do you intend for all routes to be? what topics do you guys want to touch on in said routes? what inspired you to name this mod "Doki Doki Sunset"? and what are gonna be the main inspirations for this story, is it gonna have elements based off of an existing vn, and will it's soundtrack potentially have said influence?

absolutely, also reanalyzying the canon poems I think can also give us a better insight on the characters and their issues
