A long but great Podcast. We had the pleasure of talking with Cliff Harris, the man behind Positech Games. Chris was kind enough to share about his programing background, what drives his love for the games he produces and what it is like to publish independently. Other highlights we touched on are:
- Who is Cliff Harris
- What is his programing background
- Why do his games have the names they have
- How long did it take to develop GSB
- What is it like to be your own boss
- Is DLC worth it
- Relationship with Impulse, Steam and other publishers
- 3D or not to 3D
- What does Cliff play
- What about current MMO’s
Please give us some feedback and let us know how we did, what you would like to hear next and rate us on Itunes!

Cliff was also kind enough to give us a code for Gratuitous Space Battles. We will give it away randomly if you either write a review on Itunes (still need your contact info) or send us a mail to: mail@pcpcgames.com

I definitely like Cliff Harris’s style. I think he and I would agree with a lot of what makes a good or bad video game. I love the design behind his games, I hope he continues to make more.
Just wanted to point out another game similar to Elite: Noctis. Believe it or not, but it dwarfs Elite and even our own galaxy in sheer size and scope.
