With all the secrets of Doki Doki Literature Club discovered and much of the other business logistics running smoothly, Dan Salvato of Team Salvato, the developer of Doki Doki Literature Club (or DDLC) is ready to move on to new projects. In an interview with IGN, Salvato teased a little bit about his next visual novel and clarified some of his goals and projects going forward.One project he’s shared some vague information on is something involving DDLC. It won’t be a full-fledged visual novel – Salvato already told the story he wanted to tell with DDLC – but he does want to give fans more information about the characters.“There are a lot of possibilities that we’re still looking into on what direction we want to take that,” Salvato said. “All I know is that I would like to do things that appeal to people who are fans of DDLC and the characters. Things that would help them get to know the characters a little bit more, or more content along those lines.”In the meantime, there are other unofficial ways to get to know the characters through fan mods, and as a modder himself, Salvato says he loves seeing fans mod DDLC and wants to be nothing but supportive of that community. User content comes with its fair share of concerns, but Salvato said he’s doing his best to set up a system that lets fans be creative without him having to get involved.“We have to make sure that people respect things like IPs and copyright. We did our best to put out a set of guidelines for not just mods but the IP as a whole that people can do their best to abide to, to make sure that everyone is on good terms with each other,” Salvato said. “As far as any personal involvement, I do everything I can to take a step back and let those communities do their own thing. I feel like if I were to so much as peek my head in or voice any opinions or play any mods or anything like that, it would be kind of unfair to the community and potentially cause drama. I just like to support them how I can from afar and I’m really glad people are finding ways to get more out of DDLC.”Team Salvato is also still looking into the potential of bringing DDLC to mobile devices and consoles. Salvato said they’re not ready to comment when we might see that happen, but that they’re weighing their options for business partners.As for his other project, Salvato has been working on a longer visual novel completely unrelated to DDLC. Salvato said this next project will be "more comprehensive and diverse storyline" than what we saw in DDLC. For his first project, Salvato only wanted to work on what the thought he could manage. He wouldn't say much about his next project, but Salvato did tease a bit about its tone.“I enjoy disturbing people. I think it will at least have some of those elements in it. I always want to try and put my own flavor on it, so I can’t say exactly where it might go, but I definitely want to at least make people feel uneasy while playing it.”Doki Doki Literature Club hit one million downloads three months after its launch and won IGN's 2017 People's Choice awards for Best PC Game Most Innovative , and Best Adventure Game
