Avis des joueurs Steam
Software Inc. est un jeu auquel je reviens depuis des années, de temps en temps, et c’est toujours un plaisir. Les mécaniques sont profondes, cohérentes et vraiment bien pensées. On sent que le jeu s’est enrichi au fil du temps : de plus en plus de s...
Un jeu d'optimisation hyper poussé dans lequel on découvre encore des trucs après 150h de jeu, je valide a 200%
Le cambriolage est une fonctionnalité bancale (pas de système d’alarme dans le jeu, juste des caméras et un agent de sécurité) qui n’apporte strictement rien à part de la frustration. À une époque, on pouvait la désactiver, ce qui est une bonne ch...
Mises à jour et Actualités
The overhauls will continue until morale improves
The background If you've followed development closely, you might know that we've been working on a campaign mode to help ease in new players and introduce the game's mechanics at a reasonable pace. My hope was that this would tie the game together for the 1.0 release. This work has been slow going, as I'm not an author, so writing good dialog has been pretty difficult, even though most of the campaign is playable at this point. We've spent downtime polishing the game and adding a couple of small auxiliary mechanics, as seen in the recent trash update. I've paid particular attention to the fact that some of you are disappointed none of the recent patches have touched the software development/management part of the game. I had written this part of the game off as complete, while the campaign was being developed. I decided to look over our list of "wishes" for this aspect of the game and made a tentative plan to improve it. My conclusion is that it would take at least 6 months and be completely game breaking. Based on the fact that I wrote "I have a great opportunity to make this game as good as I possibly can" on the Steam store page 10 years ago, and this is our last chance to introduce game breaking changes (so I don't mess up the campaign mode and final 1.0 release), we've decided to move forward with it. The plan The overhaul will touch marketing, servers, product "identity", subsidiaries and some smaller game breaking stuff that I've always wanted to add, but I didn't want to break saves. Everything is subject to change of course and will probably not live up to your expectations, but the rough plan is: Completely overhaul pre-marketing and introduce a couple of new mechanics Add an extra mechanic to post-marketing, but keep the overall post-marketing process pretty much the same Integrate servers better with the core gameplay loop Add some very high-level customization to subsidiaries Add a couple of things to make software products feel more personal As always, I will try to make sure the additions don't complicate the game too much. Most of the things we add can be completely ignored, without making the game tougher on easier difficulties. The TL;DR We're going on a financially dubious probably 6 month long hiatus to overhaul some core mechanics (marketing, servers and subsidiaries), because it seems like the right thing to do and I enjoy working on this game. I will keep you updated as progress moves along and we have some actual stuff to show. The new server system is pretty close to done already and the pre-marketing overhaul is well underway. Finally, I just wanted to give a quick happy 12th year anniversary to development of Software Inc!

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« (Early access Review) Software Inc is like if game dev tycoon had a baby with the sims and injected it with performance enhancing drugs. This game packs so much content into such a little lightweight indie game. What can you do in this game you ask? Run a software company, make games, make operating systems, Officer software and much more. Specialize in one thing or everything! Run a server house, or marketing company snipe research from other companies or Ddos your competitors. Have a team of 10 or 1000, the skies the limit and the only thing that will hold you back in this game is your own creativity. »
« Супер! Но интерфейс был гараздо лучше в Alpha 9, после нее пошло все по...В общем, дизайн реально худший, ужас »
« Ótimo jogo, mas, a medida que o jogo avança fica mais fácil de prever o mercado e o jogo fica muito facilitado. »
« слишком хорошо, но интерфейс убожество какое-то. механики имба, игра имба, но интерфейс это полный пиздец. пока 9/10 »
« Software Inc is one of the greatest "tycoon" games ever built, you get to develop and build your own software to your likings and manage the production, marketing and sale of your products. You also have full control over how your offices are constructed, so you have free will to design the most efficient and effective office spaces you'd wish for, alongside the hiring of employees and automation of management through designation of work to leaders. »
« This game is one of the best sofware dev games on the market currently. The game is constantly being updated and improved. The game is very worth it once you learn how to play it. »
« Software Inc. is an outstanding indie game. It is the one and only game that allows a player to create its own game or software company. There are many features, like designing software, marketing, publishing, staff, robbers, server, shops, the market and a great building mode. I really recommend this masterpiece. »
« This game is clever, amazing indie game. New updates will come soon. »
