Team Feature: Matt Barker

Creator of Legion, Head of Design and Development, Glorious Facial Hair Adorner

Three years ago, Matt had an idea to create a trading card game which blended all the features and design cues he loved, and began to tinker with various ideas. Since then his personal idea has become a significant group effort, with teammates from a variety of backgrounds, but his creative ingenuity didn't come into play just a couple years ago. Since his childhood, Matt has been a lover of game design, always keen to quickly understand the nature and mechanics of games, from a designer and player standpoint, giving a unique flair to everything he created. He's been doing creative work and writing for a very long time.
One standout aspect of the conception of Legion comes from Matt's desire to have a game which can be enjoyed by lots of people on both a casual and competitive level. Playing card games with friends creates a unique social engagement. A mutual love for a game has brought many friends together, and Matt wanted to create a game which would be fun, interactive, challenging, and capable of bringing people together. 
Since Legion's initial conception, it has become a living, breathing thing, full of unique and adventurous avenues to explore. Every day Matt is brainstorming and collaborating with the rest of the team to further perfect the world which he has been creating, and every day Legion gets closer and closer to its awaited release.
