Desire FOR Entertainment
About Me & My Vision
Hi! My name is Umutcan Erkmen. I am an independent board game designer based in Türkiye, operating under the studio name Desire FOR Entertainment. My ultimate mission is to foster, spread, and deeply root the modern tabletop and card game culture right here in my home country, while sharing my original designs with board gamers all around the globe.
As an indie creator in Türkiye, I face a major technical hurdle: popular global crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter or BackerKit are unfortunately not directly accessible for creators in my region. Instead of letting this stop me, I decided to bypass these barriers entirely and bring my passion directly to the community. I chose Itch.io as my primary hub to publish high-quality, meticulously designed Print & Play (PnP) versions of my games under a "Pay What You Want" model.
Every single project I upload here is crafted with immense passion, and a deep commitment to printer-friendly (Low-Ink) accessibility.
🌟 How You Can Support My Journey
Since I cannot run traditional crowdfunding campaigns, your organic support is everything to me:
- Play & Rate: If you print and play my games, please consider leaving a rating and review on BoardGameGeek (BGG) [ https://boardgamegeek.com/fan/user/Umutcan_Erkmen?subtype=boardgame ]. It is the greatest way to help an independent designer gain visibility in the global tabletop community.
- Spread the Word: Share my PnP files with your local gaming groups and friends.
Thank you so much for bringing my designs to your tables and helping me build this culture from the ground up!
