Shark Bait: A Success Story!
Shark Bait launched October 2023 and has already reached great returns with thousands of reads and top-level earnings!
“I’m so proud that I was able to launch Shark Bait quickly and start seeing impressive earnings in the first month! I always wanted to make a game like this, but most alternatives would require slow coding and lots of ramp up time to make money. Dorian’s enabled me to get returns on my work much faster than I could imagine.”

Step 2
Receive your results!
If your submission meets our requirements, we’ll run a marketing test on your game.
If your test meets our benchmarks, you’ll be considered for one of the available slots in the program!
If your test doesn’t meet our benchmarks but shows promise, we’ll give you feedback so you can try again for our next round!
If your submission doesn’t meet our initial parameters, we’ll let you know so you can revise and try in the next round!
Step 3
Meet your Mentor
If you’re accepted to the program, you’ll receive an invitation to a strategy call with your mentor! We’ll discuss how to quickly port your launch content and prepare you for your launch day!
Meet your Dating Sim Mentor: Jess Delfanti!
Dorian’s VP of Creator Development, with 14 years’ experience writing games with big brands like Game of Thrones and Star Wars, she created a successful villain romance on the platform last year! Check out Jess talking about her experience here!
She’ll guide you through the steps, from creation to publish, and help you set up your game for success!
Step 4
Port your content!
Feb 26 - May 1: We’ll collaborate with you to get your launch content (first three episodes) into the Dorian engine on the week of Feb 26 to prepare you for launch. Note that if your game is available as a purchase-up-front, we will likely need to adapt your game to the Dorian free-to-play format. Our team of experts will advise and even help you create this premium content for your launch content.
