Vasja S.

I help game studios and production companies turn promising concepts, rough scripts and unfinished story systems into unique, engaging content for players and viewers across different platforms. I’m a Narrative Designer, Game Writer and Screenwriter with almost a decade of experience in games, film, television and digital media, supported by an MA in Film, TV and Video Game Storytelling. My credits include Family Island (50M+ downloads), Rooms & Exits (10M+ downloads), Tactical Strike (5M+ downloads) and Microsoft Research’s Project Malmo. My feature screenplay won the 2023 Film Center Serbia national competition and received full production funding. How can I help you? By joining an existing production, helping diagnose a story that is not quite working, or developing a narrative foundation from its earliest stage. I work at €50/hour and can also provide a fixed quote based on scope, materials and delivery requirements. For smaller studios, I offer three focused services: 1. First-Hour Narrative Audit I review your game’s opening hour, or a comparable vertical slice, with a focus on onboarding, pacing, dialogue, character clarity, player motivation and emotional engagement. You receive a structured, prioritized report with practical recommendations and sample rewrites. 2. Narrative Foundation Development I help turn an early premise or game concept into a coherent narrative foundation: story pillars, world, characters, tone, conflicts, progression and a development-ready narrative bible. 3. Branching Story Prototype I turn a concept or linear script into a playable Twine or Ren’Py prototype, including choice structure, consequences, interactive dialogue and implementation notes. My core strengths include: • Narrative design and story systems • Interactive and branching dialogue • Worldbuilding, lore and character development • Quest, mission and level narrative • Tone, pacing and emotional engagement • Clear, production-facing narrative documentation • Collaboration with designers, artists, producers and engineers
