I don't understand the whole thing about not using new outfits and backgrounds from the r/DDLCMods community. Just request artwork from there to help lower expectations for the artists that support this mod so they can catch a break lol. But for some reason I feel some of the devs are pretty hell bent on "staying original" or in other words not using art work from other mods... even though plenty of mod creators have done this (BrandNewDay, Normal VN, and DDPuristMod have used the same white/brown dress for Monika) If I recall correctly that is. Idk maybe you can use artwork from the community as place holders until the mod gets it's own artwork you know? And yes I'm aware that the outfits would have to span out into many different sprites, so instead of coming up with something from scratch maybe a little help?
Also color palette? Are you referring to the color of the text dialogue? Because countless mods have been able to change it. There's no rules against doing so as far as I can see. Here's an example from r/ddlcmods
Even Just Yuri Changed their dialogue to purple.
A kazoo would be an interesting gift
What about a harmonica?
the clock is borderline useless because there is a clock on the bottom right corner of your computer.
Only if the user is not in full screen mode.
don't you mean harmonika?
don't you mean harmonika?
hmmm I wonder what would happen if you somehow could tell her you play the harmonika?
@Rai99 Thank you for your feedback, but I wasn't stating that I was impatient about these. I was simply stating that such features would be pretty interesting to have in the game. They're just things that, if they were easy to program (not saying they are) would be something I'd like to see.
alright I'm going to respond to the top 3 posts together in here.
sync calendar
As rai mentioned, editable calendar will happen one day. Adding that is basically reimplementing what email programs/scheduling software do in a game engine. That takes some time to do.
welcome back dialogue
Yes, we are aware of lots of inconsistencies and seemingly misplaced dialogue in greetings. We are working on fixing that.
more games
Certainly planned.
write monika a poem / letter
Using the poemgame? Possible, but there are no plans for that atm. Actually writing a real poem? There's no way we'd be able to add some sort of proper reaction system for a poem besides checking favorite words. As Rai mentioned, that would be gimmicky at best.
change background
Eventually. We have some background plans in the works. If we need something and the DDLCMods community has it, then we'll use it. We did that for additional hangman words.
casual monika clothes
Eventually. It's a slow process of figuring out ways to introduce new clothes cleanly and getting our artists to make stuff. DDLCMods community assets doesn't help here since pretty much all custom clothes is for the standing sprites.
gifting
We have successfully tested the concept with 9-22, we are working on enabling gifts all the time instead of certain dates.
battleship
wish that guy followed up. Might be some time before this gets added.
change color theme
No. I think the pink theme fits just fine.
not be feeling it
planned
wall clock
potentially planned
i'm going to mark this as a duplicate since basically all of the issues here have been brought up before.
it would be nice to see it

One feature I would enjoy seeing in the Monika After Story mod is the calendar. I know, there already is a calendar, but it could be expanded on further. We could have it to where it syncs with your computer/other device's calendar. If not, then have it to where we can add events to Monika's calendar, such as our birthday. (This could also be done from Monika asking about when your birthday is)
Next up is a feature many other people have seemed to like, different dialogue depending on how long it took for you to get on. The "welcome back" dialogue is rather random and sometimes inaccurate. If possible, run an internal clock within the game that activates only when you close it. For example:
Next, some more games. A poem-writing game would be loads of fun, to where we could type out a poem (or write in the similar vain of DDLC) and Monika will give feedback on your writing. It would also benefit the player's general writing skills if we went down the typing it out route, but the DDLC method also sounds like an interesting idea, as it may promote a new style of writing poems.
Another suggestion I have is the ability to change the background. For example, let's say you want to go to some kind of store with Monika. You could say something like "Let's go shopping!" This will possibly have its own section in the "Ask a question" box called "Places". During this, Monika's in-game sprite may replace her usual design that you see. This is especially interesting, as we could actually see Monika in casual clothes (something only mod-makers have done, as there is no sprite for Monika in the game in casual attire, as she does not have a normal route in the game). Even more, this would be a breath of fresh air and different locations could have different things to say to Monika. For example, if you were to go to France, Monika could tell you various fun facts about France, and you can say different things related to where you are as well. What would be especially interesting is if you were to actually be able to get new CGs for Monika through taking her places.
Yet another feature I would enjoy seeing is different gifting features. For example, you could download different files into the game (such as "kazoo.gft" for a Kazoo [I just want to see how she'd react lol]) and she will react in different ways. You could also have it to where she may monitor your browsing (since she CAN do that) and she may gift you different things, such as a guitar if you look up guitar related stuff. (The guitar gift could also add a guitar, similar to the piano in the game)
Speaking of games, somebody suggested Battleship on here. It would be really cool to play Battleship with Monika, but it would also be rather difficult to do, as she would technically know where all of the ships are, so that may be a problem. Sure, there was some progress on the game, but it was eventually dropped entirely, going off quietly into the night.
Another interesting suggestion was to change the main color palette. There are also suggestions in which there would be days in which Monika would just "not be feeling it" or something along those lines. The Wall Clock is one that was suggested and, while it may be nice to have, it is impractical and almost useless. While Monika's calendar tells you information about herself, as well as holidays to where you don't have to open up the calendar application and cloud your processor even more, the clock is borderline useless because there is a clock on the bottom right corner of your computer.
Many suggestions are pretty convenient and these are just some that I like.
