Doing the best imitation of myself
Draw Steel definitely shows its influences as coming from what Matt likes. It seems to be working for him, as his brand is pretty strong. I'm older than Matt but I think we have a lot of cultural influences in common, so I get where he's coming from even if I don't always agree with it.
I think there's a lot in the game's design that will make people interested in it, and also a bunch that may make them want to steer clear. I backed the KS and I still don't know if I'm really going to adopt the game. But I trust the influences enough to make for something that will be interesting, so here I am.
I honestly think some of the criticism comes from people who don't want Matt to make his game. I could not disagree more. While that may ultimately make it not what I'm going to adopt, I'd rather he do that than make something more generic and with less heart.
