Taonga: the Island Farm is an immersive exploration and adventure game set on a colorful tropical archipelago.
What begins as a casual farming experience gradually evolves into a rich, multi-layered adventure. Players discover increasing depth through travel, story-driven quests, strategic battles, engaging mini-games, competitive events, and much more—transforming the game into a captivating midcore adventure with sophisticated mechanics.

What We Do
We are a mobile games developer and publisher.
For us games is not just fun or business, but also a phenomenon, philosophy of emotions and future science. Researching the behaviours and conquering the minds - this is our target, passion and responsibility at the same time. At VOLKA we are on the mission that is beyond the horizon of just playing games and to ensure our goals we are carrying about our crew like about spaceship team. For us effectiveness in harmony and personal realisation are fundamental, because we have faith that happy people create happy products. We create games straight out of dreams.
We believe in the team spirit and individuality, and we taking care not just only about work matters, but also about personal circumstances of each crew member.
For such purposes we are constantly looking for professionals who are not afraid to strive for a dream, professionals who hunt for evolvement and seek for serenity and work they love. We are out of categories like a comfort zone, standardisation, box-shaped mind tactics and other manipulations, as well we avoid stupid supervising. If you know how and with what methods to reach the target, we provide all necessary instruments for that.
We are based in Cyprus, and in our Mediterranean paradise we appreciate good food, all kinds of surfing, yoga, reaching the nature, hiking and camping, beach and other healthy body positive activities.
