About the project

Volks Games is my independent studio focused on designing high-retention, fast-to-fun games across web, mobile, and emerging platforms.

Every project is built with one goal: get players into the core loop immediately, then reward mastery over time.

This work spans game design, UX/UI, engineering, and live iteration — from concept to shipped product.

Design Philosophy

Retention isn't a growth hack — it's a design outcome.

I design games around:

👁️

Immediate Clarity

Players understand what matters in seconds.

🔄

Tight Feedback Loops

Actions feel responsive and rewarding.

📈

Progressive Depth

Simple to start, difficult to master.

⚡

Fast Time-to-Fun

Players feel capable within 30 seconds.

58% Day-1 retention didn't come from luck. It came from rapid iteration, real player feedback, and designing for joy before optimization.

Why This Matters

Volks Games isn't a side project — it's a live design lab.

It's where I validate mechanics in real environments, pressure-test UX decisions with real users, ship fast, learn faster, and iterate with intent.

The same principles that drive this studio scale directly to larger products: clarity, feedback, momentum, and restraint.
