Software Inc. combines tycoon gameplay with multi-story building mechanics, employee management and a simulated market. It is inspired by games like Game Dev Tycoon, Prison Architect, The Sims and Theme Hospital.

Report RSS New demo release

I've added some new features and they are available in the new version of the Software Inc. demo.

Posted by on

The new demo is available at Softwareinc.coredumping.com

Firstly, I've added pine trees.

It breaks up the terrain quite nicely. As with the old trees, they are procedurally generated, which bascially means randomly rotated pyramids are stacked on top of each other.

There is now a larger emphasis on licenses. Some of the product profits will come from other companies using them in their own products. This also prompted me add a window that presents more details on each product.

All employees now get abilities. Before, only leaders would level up, some abilities are therefore specific to an employee role.

One of the abilities is for leaders to take over their own software production cycle. You can set some parameters for what kind of software should be developed, and the leader will make sure to delegate tasks to teams, which you've chosen. These teams will then develop and release the software, until you cancel it.
These features are not available in the demo.
