I recently finished reading Valdemar route (by Ronelle Otieno) in the dorian app. I mean I read it in one sitting and I'm all hyped up for the next chapters to come out. I must also mention, that the story as a whole is very accurate, the characters are no exception. I couldn't stop thinking about the story, so I had to draw a little "fanart" with our character and Valdemar.

(Yes, I love their dress and yes, they are holding a shovel... You know why.)

Valdemar is canonically from The Arcana game, but The dress is designed by Ronelle. The other character is mine.

So I tried gathering Valdemar content on Dorian and found this

The Arcana Prequel - Your Questions Answered

Thanks to everyone who has sent us questions over the last few days! If there's anything else you'd like to know, my askbox is open.

Will the Prequel have an upright and reversed ending?

Yes! You’ll be following Asra during his time at the palace as he tries to revive the Apprentice. To succeed, he will need to win the trust of Nadia, Lucio, Valerius and Muriel. Whether he manages that and how far he is willing to go for his goal is up to you.

On a scale of 0 to 10, how angsty will this be?

We’re aiming to emulate the way the original game balances out the serious, gut-wrenching moments with more light-hearted ones. That said, grief, loss and unhealthy coping mechanisms will all feature heavily, so we’re going to say… 9.5?

How often does the story update, and how many episodes will there be in total?

We currently release a new episode every Tuesday, but we’re planning to eventually move to two episodes per week once some of our other ongoing commitments have wrapped up. As for the total number of episodes… we’re not sure yet, but definitely 20+.

Why did you decide to write this together?

@asrabounding (Azi) and I have been toying with the idea of making an Arcana Prequel on Dorian for over a year, but we realized pretty quickly that bringing it to life the way we were envisioning it would require more than two people. Azi and @motherofqups (MOC) first connected via the fandom all the way back in 2019, and we’ve all ended up bonding over our shared love of the Arcana, many congruent headcanons, and an admiration for each other's work. So this collaboration was a natural fit.

How much Asra x Julian is in this?

Their situationship will be one of the ongoing plotlines in this story. The choices you make will influence how it plays out and, to an extent, how much of it you see. Relationship points with Julian will not affect whether you get the upright or reversed ending, but can unlock additional paths.

You all have written Asra and Julian a lot, but which of the other characters are your favorites to write and why?

All three of us genuinely enjoy writing all of the M6 (and many of the supporting characters), but if you’re making us choose…

MOC: Lucio. His voice is so unique and he’s always flowed easily for me, but he still surprises me, even after all this time. There are so many knots to unravel and layers to unpack with him. He’s delicious to tease but he bites back, too, so he’s fun to play with whether I’m writing an angsty scene or a more playful scene. 

Azi: Muriel and Lucio. I have made myself laugh while writing them more than once, and their voices tend to flow naturally for me. I never have to wonder “what would Lucio say?”

Morella: Nadia. I love her sense of humor, and how absolutely savage she can be when she’s irritated with someone. I also really enjoy contrasting the way she can take control of a situation and command the room with the vulnerability that she only shows to a select few people.

Are the courtiers going to make appearances?

Yes. Valerius plays a major role as one of the characters that Asra will need to get onto his side to complete the ritual. The other courtiers will make appearances as well, though their roles will be smaller (similar to the original game).

I’m confused, is this meant to be canon?

No. Our aim is to stay faithful to the spirit and lore of the original game, but ours is just one of many ways to tell this particular story.

Why is the Prequel getting promoted by Dorian?

Dorian has criteria for which games get promoted. These include how many people play, how much money they spend, and whether the creators update the game consistently over a period of time. Over the past two years, Azi and I have built a track record of meeting these criteria for every game we release, so our stories now often get picked up for promotion early on (as do those of many other established creators on Dorian). The logic behind that is pretty obvious if you’ve ever been a fanfic reader deciding whether to take a chance on an incomplete longfic on AO3 - if you recognise the author and know they’ve finished their fics in the past, you’re probably more likely to trust that they’ll continue this one, too.

How much influence does Dorian have over the games you make?

The ideas that go into the stories are all ours, and Dorian doesn't tell us what to write. They do give us advice on what they think is more likely to succeed. It's our decision to take it or leave it. Sometimes we take it, sometimes we leave it.

Dorian doesn't set a release schedule for us, but they do offer more opportunities for promotion to creators who stick to a consistent schedule.

How much money do you make writing on Dorian?

Azi and I have both been writing on Dorian for going on two years now, and our earnings have steadily grown over that time. As part of that process, we’ve also gotten a lot more intentional about our release schedule. This has brought us to a point where our games make between $5K and $6K each month.

How much time does a project like this take?

These days, the hours Azi and I put into making games are equivalent to a part time job. We have tried different things and tested out what we could and could not handle on top of our other work and family commitments, and we have found our sweet spot. Luckily we are fully in control of our schedule and we make it work for us.

Dorian is a fucking stupid app for story games

I had someone say you CAN make reversed and upright endings on Dorian so how the fuck do I choose which choices lead to the reversed or upright ending? Because I don't see an option going (upright) or (reversed) only stuff like (moral choice) and (silly).

Not here;

OR HERE;

OR HERE;

So where the actual FUCK do I get to pick which outcome this is leaning towards? Because otherwise it's not a story game it's just a fucking story with no consequences attached at all.

OH and for the people saying you can add art for Oc's where?

Add character? You mean THIS SHITTY FUCKING THING?

Art library? Yeah, NAH

This is why if I were to make an arcana fan game I'd program the entire thing myself just so I can have the most BASIC feature for a story game being your choices have consequences. Imagine playing the arcana and at the end it's like 'Here which ending do you want?' or playing Life is strange and it- Oh wait Life is strange DID do that and guess what? PEOPLE FUCKING HATED THAT! It's the worst part of Life is strange and makes Dorian look like a fucking joke. Except jokes have meaning this is just A03 with some pictures and pointless choices thrown in since choices don't matter in Dorian games.

[tobaccosmain]

Jesus christ the Dorian app is god awful. Dont spend money on it. Extremely slow, laggy, and there isnt even music-like none. The entire app is silent. Theres no sound when you tap like in the arcana app. And the price is fair- for a working app. But its not a working app.

Also the characters feel..Odd. Asra is actually quite good I think. But Muriel? I followed him and within the first chapter he apparently leans in for a kiss. Idk. I uninstalled just after that because the kiss wouldve cost 20 hearts. And thats about 6 dollars. For one kiss.

[5leggedlamb]

Guys we got a Vulgora one too -

Life is crazy

The story didn't get as much uh saves as the valdemar ones because Vulgora fans are rarer, SO VULGORA FANS UNITE‼️
