I recently went to some event ion my village where I started to worry if I had the energy to walk home. I have no idea if its just a lot of stuff going on at once or age, or the stress of following world events way too much&#8230; but anyway, regardless whether people love or hate it, there is now a playable demo of my latest game: Ridiculous Space Battles. Enjoy this big clickable button:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/3607230\/Ridiculous_Space_Battles\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"108\" src=\"https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-2.png 780w, https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-2-766x106.png 766w, https:\/\/www.positech.co.uk\/cliffsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-2-680x94.png 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I actually had trouble finding the &#8216;demo&#8217; button on the steam store page, which just goes to show how often I try new demos I guess&#8230; Anyway, its out and its hopefully playable. I have done 2 patches in the last few hours to fix a thing, and then the thing that was caused by the fix to the first thing&#8230;and ultimately it was all because my build script had not noticed some files had been updated and needed adding to the build&#8230;grrrr&#8230;.all my own fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway&#8230; its done! and I have about a month now until the release of the main game into Early Access. This is by far the weirdest game release of my career, because I STILL do not know if its just a hobby, or a proper game, or how to feel about it. The games industry is super-weird right now, and frankly I do not know how ANYONE is making any money from games&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the main thing is I REALLY enjoyed making this game so far, and I think its pretty good. I just re-watched the final &#8216;Battle Of Cardassia&#8217; episode of star trek:DS9 tonight, and I am definitely someone who enjoys a good space battle, so this game just had to be made didn&#8217;t it :D. Hopefully some of you like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has taken SO LONG to get to this point, and to be honest I am just very very tired, physically and emotionally.
