Get With The Programming | Go to IT (Early Access) - Software Company Simulator
48Go to IT, or perhaps Goto IT, is a game all about running a software company, writing software, hiring staff, expanding your office and looking at charts.
We begin our little company, choosing to play as someone with a motivational skill to spur on our fellow co-workers! Go team!
We hire staff and take on more and more complex contracts, before moving to a bigger premises and, of course, spending a great deal of money on a fancy coffee machine.
But can we become rich beyond our wildest dreams? Will we be rivalling Microsoft? And will I actually understand what the graphs are showing us?
NOTE: This is the Early Access version of the game.

Tactical Depth
- Choose your corporate strategy. In-house projects or outsource? Tight deadlines when stakes are high or playing safe while missing on profit?
- Manage the entire project lifecycle. Implement methodologies and techniques: test-driven development, refactoring, pair programming. Build your processes and test them against market reality.
- Loans, investments, recruitment, buying development tools, setting up an office. Challenging decisions await.
Multidimensional Management Challenges
- Additionally to hard skills, each employee has soft skills and personality. A highly qualified person, who is always late and not really willing to learn? Or jack-of-all-trades, punctual, but lacking motivation? Choose wisely while recruiting and assigning tasks.
- Find new employees, promote and educate them, and donโt forget to take care of their job satisfaction.
- 10+ parameters affect job satisfaction level. Who said it would be easy?
