How Dorian works
From idea to obsession
Dorian is an ecosystem with two sides: creators who build female-first games without code, and fans who discover, wishlist, and play them. Here's the whole loop.
For creators
Story → build → publish → grow → earn.
Bring your story
A hook, a few portraits, a cover, a short script: enough to begin.
Build in the engine
Choices, routes, relationship meters, pronouns, live moments. No code.
Publish & validate
Open a wishlist page and let demand tell you what to make next.
Grow your fandom
Devlogs, comments, and milestones turn wishlisters into superfans.
Launch & earn
Open in the Dorian app to a crowd that's already waiting.
For fans
Wishlist → follow → support → play → join the fandom.
Wishlist
Tap the heart on any upcoming game. It's free, and it sends launch alerts.
Follow updates
Get devlogs, art reveals, and milestone unlocks from creators you love.
Support (optional)
Back a launch for fan perks. Never an investment, just a creative thank-you.
Play in the app
When it drops, play it in the Dorian app and join the fandom.
Already a creator? You're closer than you think.
Whatever you make today (visual novels, video, comics), there's a fast path onto Dorian.
Coming from Ren'Py or itch.io?
Bring your visual novel to mobile
itch.io alone hosts 10,000+ visual novels, and most never reach phones. Rebuild yours on Dorian and launch to a built-in mobile audience, no app-store gauntlet and no new engine to learn.
A creator-led path
Make an interactive micro-drama
Already make short-form video? Turn it into a choice-driven micro-drama series: cinematic, vertical, and interactive. Bring footage instead of illustration and let fans steer the story.
One engine, many kinds of story
From pure text to full-motion video: pick the format that fits the world in your head.
Interactive fiction
Choice-driven prose that branches and remembers.
Visual novels
Art, dialogue, and routes: the classic, on mobile.
Dating sims & otome
Relationship meters, love interests, and confessions.
Dark romance
Dangerous love interests and choices with real weight.
Interactive comics
Panels that become playable, branching pages.
Cinematic & video micro-drama
Short-form, vertical, choice-driven film.
The app your fans step into
Real games made on Dorian. This is what players open when your world goes live.
Common questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Dorian's visual engine lets you combine art, text, animation and video with branching and game mechanics, all with zero coding.
Who owns my game?
You do. Creators keep their IP and set their own prices. Dorian is the home, not the owner.
How do creators make money?
Through in-app choices, Hearts, supporter packs, and community support, with real-time analytics showing where players engage and spend. Creator results vary.
What does wishlisting do for fans?
It's a free signal that tells creators their world should exist, and it gets you launch alerts, preview invites, and milestone unlocks.
Is supporting a project an investment?
No. Support backs creative production and unlocks perks. It grants no ownership, equity, or financial return.
