Software Inc. - Part 1: Shack in the Woods - Let's Play Software Inc.
79Software Inc. is a software house simulation game that gives us the chance to create a globally recognised software company!
We found The Geek Cupboard software company and immediately set up shop in the woods, which is a curious choice for a technology business but there we go, a shack in the woods is good.
Of course, this being The Geek Cupboard we spend ages faffing about with building a room and populating it with extraneous stuff, like plants and lamps and calculators, rather than actually getting on with the serious business of making money.
We start with simple contracts and build up to our very first piece of software, designed in-house by yours truly. But what could it be? And will it be a financial success or a financial disaster? Watch and find out!
NOTE: This is the Early Access version of the game.
