Sweetcore Brews is a choice-driven game that employs a witchy sitcom theme while celebrating the classic staples of the visual novel medium by weaving together minigames and romance. 

“Sweetcore Brews already has all the hallmarks of a Dorian hit with gorgeous art, romance, and great writing,” said Julia Palatovska, Dorian CEO and co-founder. “Now, thanks to Dorian’s unique features, Nochi’s backers will access exclusive perks, community streams, connect directly with the development team, and get juicy extras they can’t find anywhere else! We are excited to welcome Sweetcore Brews to our platform, where we are dedicated to elevating game teams like Nochi and helping them grow their wonderful community.”

Learn more about what our Ambassadors are doing to shape the future of The Arcana!

Since the creation of the Arcana Ambassador program, we have seen some recurring questions we want to answer! Please read below to see our answers.

What is an “Ambassador”?

An Ambassador is a super-fan who has the opportunity to voice their opinions directly to the Dorian team. This is a volunteer position that anyone can apply for! Currently, the Ambassador Program is for The Arcana, but we will add members for individual FictIf stories in the future!

What does an Ambassador do?

Ambassadors have the chance to do things like: read content early to give advice on character voice, world lore; suggest superfan easter eggs; vote on illustrations, titles, and other upcoming content; be the first to know about upcoming events; discuss fan concerns with the Dorian team, and much more! 

Ambassadors also get first access to upcoming art and materials, which means they can tease what’s coming up! Keep an eye on their socials if you want these first sneak peeks!

Does the Ambassador program involve writing?

The Ambassador role is strictly an advisory one. Ambassadors do not write any content for Dorian, though we hope our amazing Ambassadors will create their own games on Dorian!

Do Ambassadors choose which characters will get additional content?

The Ambassadors advise Dorian on upcoming content but do not make unilateral decisions. Don’t worry – all Arcana love interests will get equal treatment! Ambassadors’ personal favorites will not define which characters get content. Dying to see a certain character? You can create that content yourself! We will gladly help you get started. 

How are the Ambassadors chosen?

Dorian received nearly 200 applications for Ambassadors. Ambassadors were chosen based on their answers to the application form visible here. They were required to:

  • Have read (and loved) all 6 love interest routes. 

  • Have extensive knowledge of the full lore, as some details are revealed in one route but not in another. 

  • Have a proven status as a positive and collaborative member of the community 

What benefits do the Ambassadors get?

Ambassadors get early access, becoming the first to see upcoming content. They get to give feedback directly to the writing and art team and get a peek “behind the scenes”. The Ambassadors have access to exclusive social channels that allow them to discuss ideas together and have a direct line to Dorian. They’ll also get exclusive access to sneak peek assets to share with the greater community! 

What are the Ambassadors’ communication guidelines?

Just like anyone on Dorian or our socials, Ambassadors are required to follow community guidelines. Ambassadors are volunteers using their own social media accounts. Ambassadors are welcome to share approved sneak peek materials about upcoming content & events. It is up to each individual Ambassador if they wish to share their social media and identity with the community. 

Can I chat with the Ambassadors?

You will often see the Ambassadors on the Dorian discord and The Arcana instagram. Feel free to say hello! Keep in mind, if you have complaints or issues, the appropriate place to file those is with the Dorian team at support@dorian.live. As with all our users, Dorian has a zero tolerance policy for harassment and bullying.  

I have feedback on the Ambassador Program, how can I get in touch?

We love hearing your feedback! Please send an email to support@dorian.live to tell us more!

BIG NEWS! Dorian has partnered with AMC Networks!

Dorian & AMC partnership about the Immortal Universe of Anne Rice

BIG NEWS! Dorian has partnered with AMC Networks!

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Dorian is partnering with AMC Networks to tap into the power of the Immortal Universe of Anne Rice! The partnership will empower millions of fans and creators to write, publish, stream, and monetize their own code-free interactive narratives using some of the most iconic IPs in the world, including Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches.

AMC announced in May 2020 their acquisition of the Anne Rice catalog, which includes the Vampire Chronicles, the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series, and the crossover novels that blend the two paranormal worlds. The Walking Dead network’s new franchise will kick off Sunday, October 2 with the premiere of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, starring Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones), who will play the tortured Louis de Pointe du Lac, Sam Reid (The Hunting) as his vampire maker, Lestat de Lioncourt, Bailey Bass (Avatar 2) as vampire fledgling Claudia, and Eric Bogosian (Talk Radio) as journalist Daniel Molloy. Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches series is making its exclusive debut on AMC+, the network’s premium streaming bundle, this winter, and stars Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus) as Rowan Mayfair, a brilliant doctor who discovers she heralds from a long line of witches in the Mayfair family, along with Jack Huston (House of Gucci) as Lasher, Harry Hamlin (Mad Men) as Cortland Mayfair and Tongayi Chirisa (Palm Springs) as Ciprien.

We're also excited to announce that this partnership will allow fans and creators exclusive access to licensed art and lore to create their own interactive stories in AMC’s Immortal Universe of Anne Rice. Dorian’s code-free creation engine, monetization features, and data analysis tools allow independent creators to write, publish, and earn royalties. With genre content like Interview ranking consistently high among the Dorian community, the addition of these IPs will tap into those passions and excite audiences of both game and series. Dorian will launch Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire alongside the premiere of the AMC series on October 2 with weekly content releases, fan-generated adaptation challenges, and livestream events spanning the epic first season.

In the meantime, get ready to create your own vampire tales by registering as a creator now!
