Software Inc. is a business management sim where you build and run a software company. You'll design office layouts to keep productivity high, then hire programmers, designers, and support staff to develop products—games, operating systems, applications, whatever you choose to tackle. Each employee has skills that improve through training and experience, plus satisfaction levels you need to monitor or they'll quit. As your products ship and earn revenue, you can expand into new markets, acquire struggling competitors, and grow from a garage startup into a industry giant. Success hinges on balancing project scope against your team's capabilities, timing releases well, and keeping overhead manageable. It's detailed without drowning you in spreadsheets, appealing if you enjoy systemic business sims with spatial planning elements.
