Dorian, which aims to empower women in the game industry and stands out with its visual novel-based games, announced that it had acquired Nix Hydra, which develops romantic-type otome games.
Nix Hydra, the developer of otome games such as Arcana and FictIf, takes its name from Nix and Hydra, between the five moons of the dwarf planet Pluto.
Dorian made the following statements in the announcement made on the company’s website;
“As the world’s first game and streaming platform that enables creators to turn fiction into games with zero coding, we are on a mission to empower millions of fans and creators from underrepresented communities to unlock their vision in a game format and share it with the world.”
Community manager Alex Danino and lead artist, Gabriella Rosetti from the Nix Hydra team, will join Dorian and play critical roles with this acquisition. In addition, according to the company’s announcement, many celebrations will occur with the community in the coming weeks.
Alex Danino will continue to serve the community and evaluate returns to the company by running the company’s Discord groups. On the other hand, Gabriella will continue to perform her art as the lead artist of Arcana and Fictlf and will contribute to new stories and games.
Home to more than 5,000 writers, artists, and publishers, Dorian continues on its way by incorporating Arcana and FictIf with this acquisition.
