Software Inc. - Part 6: Project Management - Let's Play Software Inc.
22Software Inc. returns, and also concludes, as we hire a Team Leader and go down the route of Project Management!
The tutorial is, as with many other aspects of the game, relatively complicated but we set up a Project and assign our new Leader to it. There's something about action points in there that I don't really understand but we just sort of gloss over that.
Our new Project is then supposed to handle all the aspects or software creation, from the design and programming to the marketing. And it does!
PhotoGeek Pro is the Project's first challenge. But as they work on this, money begins to dwindle quite alarmingly so we take on a few contracts to offset the losses.
And yes, as mention earlier, this will be the final part of Software Inc. I enjoy the game but I think it's best enjoyed in the quiet, without commentary, so you can mull over all the various options and buttons.
NOTE: This is the Early Access version of the game.
