Historically, it has always done so. I have redesigned the homepage today so it serves a slimmed down version for mobile which looks basic, but not a total usability nightmare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"421\" height=\"922\" src=\"https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6228\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the ONLY page with that redesign, so clicking on any game will quickly ruin the experience, but that is surely a project for another time, when I am less busy with Democracy 4 updates. FWIW, the desktop website has a different, more appropriate layout:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1016\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-8.png 1016w, https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-8-680x431.png 680w, https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/image-8-768x487.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1016px) 100vw, 1016px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I used to do some fancy responsive design that filled up all that black space, but currently I am not doing so. At some point I will likely do a complete redesign of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Positech has enough games now that it can really be laid out more like a traditional store such as GoG or epic, with a consistent theme across each game, but to do so would mean re-arranging a ton of content, as each game has a FAQ, some modding information, a buy page, and maybe pages for DLC or for educational purposes (site licenses). TBH some of the real old games like redshirt or Democracy 2 just don&#8217;t sell enough copies to really care too much about how modern their sites are&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other news I have a big update on the solar farm likely happening this week, so lots to write about soon :D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t sell mobile games, and I don&#8217;t play mobile games, but like it or not, most people spend most of their time on their mobiles now, not a desktop PC&lt; which is the target market for my games.
