Ranko Trifkovic — Co-Founder

🧙 Hi! I’m Ranko — the Game Doctor. I work with passionate indies to transform their vision into an unforgettable experience by “doctoring” what’s already there and helping it shine. I’ve now worked on over 50 released titles! With a recent highlight being my work on the CEEGA 2024 Best Narrative winner. 🔮 I focus on Narrative and Game Design, offering support in many ways: - Writing and editing branching narratives - Creating characters, dialogue, and full episodes built around your vision - Connecting gameplay with narrative by designing puzzles, HOPA elements, and other gameplay features 🪄 Author of four books and several translations, I’m always ready to dive into writing: - Crafting or refining dialogue for authentic voices, grammar, and style - Polishing translations for clarity and natural flow - Editing text for tone, slang, and native-speaker feel 🧿 Beyond writing, I’ve shipped games on PC, mobile, web, and console as a project manager: - Structuring production pipelines and planning stages - Coaching teams to improve collaboration between producers, writers and artists - Preparing pitch decks, narrative strategies, and delivery coaching If you’re interested in working together, just send me a message. Finally, teaching is a big part of what I do. Having personally helped studios screen and interview narrative hires, I’ve created an 8-week mentorship program designed to help writers break into the industry. Since then, I’ve mentored over 100 people, guiding them from “I have some skills” to “I got the job!” If you’d like to explore that opportunity, visit narrativedesign.guru and see how I can help you do the same.
