Hex Conquest
The idea: compress the tension of a strategy campaign into short browser matches. Territory, supply collapse and dice-driven operations create depth without a long tutorial. Live on the web and itch.io.
YALIN YORULMAZ / INDEPENDENT WORK
Ideas made tangible.
Products, experiments and creative interests that keep me building and learning.
Building as a continuing practice
Independent work gives me room to take an idea through product definition, implementation and release. It brings technical decisions, interaction design and product judgment into the same process.
The portfolio spans games, practical utilities, reflection tools and data analysis. Some are live products; others are ongoing work. The distinction matters: each entry below retains its current portfolio status, and ongoing projects are presented as work in progress.
Products & experiments
Daily sport quiz games
The system: one reusable daily-game engine, adapted for football, basketball, Formula 1 and cycling. Deterministic puzzles, progressive hints, offline play and shareable results turn niche knowledge into a repeatable format.
IntuitFlip
The insight: your emotional reaction to a random result can be more useful than the result itself. IntuitFlip turns that moment into a deliberately minimal decision ritual—without an account, backend or AI dependency.
Satranc Online
The tool: multi-engine chess analysis for exploring positions and comparing engine assessments.
Calm Down Button
The purpose: immediate breathing guidance in a focused, simple experience.
Lumina Tarot
The experience: reflection through tarot, with readings and card meanings to explore.
PinPoint
The tool: a privacy-first way to save places you want to remember.
KahveFalım
The experience: fortune and dream experiences in one place.
Fuck This Shit Button
The idea: a small web experiment for those “fuck this shit” moments.
What Should I Watch?
The purpose: help answer the familiar question of what to watch next.
TimeBuddy
The tool: an offline-first timezone and availability manager for coordinating across time zones.
TableMind
The product: turn spreadsheet data into predictions and strategic analysis without writing code. Risk scores, what-if simulations and AI-written reports help business teams explore decisions.
Godot Quake FPS
The build: a Quake-inspired arena shooter in Godot, with fast movement, modular weapons and combat bots.
Empire Conquest
The concept: an OGame-inspired, text-based browser strategy game set in medieval times. Currently in early development.
Tactical CQB
The prototype: a top-down squad game with pausable real-time planning, line of sight, room breaching and extraction missions.
Writing, music & play
Chess, music, films and the film industry, and Lindy Hop are part of my life beyond professional delivery. My university radio and cinema activities sit alongside that continuing interest in creative work.
