In their words

“Dorian lets narrative designers and artists build games on their own terms: I can bring my ideas to a passionate community without funding a large production, an unprecedented chance to bet on myself.”

Ryan Kaufman

Previously Narrative Director at Telltale Games

“I always dreamt of making a game and Dorian made it possible. The UI is intuitive enough that I'm able to produce polished games that really bring my art and stories to life!”

Valerie

Artist of SlashFic

“I'm so proud that I was able to launch Shark Bait quickly! I always wanted to make a game like this, but most alternatives would require slow coding and lots of ramp-up time. Dorian made it happen so much faster than I could imagine.”
