GamingShogun Interview With Cliff Harris Positech

JelalTrueshot | February 14, 2008 | Interview | PC 
GamingShogun recently conducted an interview with independent developer Positech's Founder, Cliff Harris, regarding their latest releases as well as Harris' background and future plans for his studio.
We recently had the chance to interview Cliff Harris, founder of Positech Games. Positech recently released Democracy 2, sequel to the popular political strategy game, Democracy. Positech also developed the life simulator game, Kudos as well as Starship Tycoon.

GS) Tell us a bit about your background in the gaming industry or gaming in general, if you will, that led to the formation of Positech.

CH) I have been making games as an amateur since 1981, but only took it seriously with Starship Tycoon. I went from that game to working at Elixir (Of infinite-polygon engine fame), and from Elixir to Lionhead to do AI work on The Movies. I already had Positech sat there from before I’d worked at Elixir, and by the time I quit Lionhead to do a short contract for Maxis, Positech was doing well enough for me to work on indie games full time. That was about 2 years ago.
