Love the video except that loud clicking sound. It was like hearing a smoke alarm alert when it has a dead battery in the background, while someone is eating chips against a probe microphone.

I'd love to see a comprehensive tutorial like this on using the project management system, where the team lead AI automatically starts new projects, handles the release and stuff like that. I usually start with 4 founders, 1 who is speced into each role and leads a team doing those tasks. But, i still don't quite understand how that system really works.

I can´t fix them 🤣🤣🤣

Just my few cents but when I hire support I like to filter for Lead as secondary. If you hover over the stars you'll see that 1 star in Multitasking (Lead) improves support. Since support teams are usually generic and assigned to multiple products that's nearly always beneficial. For example at 2:07 Lynette Chavez was an excellent choice in my opinion. You're already filtering on modest and low salaries, so the salary difference is only marginal. 2 stars in support means she could handle 2 tickets at once, so if you take that into account as well she's actually more effective, cheaper, and uses less desk space than two 1-star employees would. Another marginal minmax thing I like to do is to filter for Super Focus on my accountants. They're always just optimising taxes; Filing tax reports doesn't count as a separate task. So it's easy and consistent optimisation for your accounting team. :)

Hey Styled, I noticed around 5:08 that you have protruding walls around your stairs. How did you manage that? If it's a mod, do you have a mod list or could you point me in the right direction? Many thanks!

Hey Men, you doing great Videos!! Stay on it ;)

What a great way to start the vid with an award !

Love the layout of the building, hope the exams went great!

Great episode!

You have no idea how this video is useful to me, I really appreciate that you invested time for making this to us! 👍😊

Thanks for these, not played since Alpha 11, so much has changed!

Thank you so much i started new company i was always going bankrupt thanks to contracts as mentioned by you 😊

It´s becomming a nice area!

Love the shape of the canteen great job!

Can you make a tutorial for office building? I can never seem to get an office where people are happy they always say "there is nothing to do"

Found your account randomly, I love playing sofware inc myself. And instead of starting the series where i found a vid on my feed i was like gonna start from episode 1 and it isn´t dissapointing. Keep it up and can´t wait to see the others!

Good job on the video, keep up the good work🎉

With it being the 20th episode, I decided to make this a double length episode, hope you all enjoy :)

Love this series :)

Good tips Sir, a few new to me! I just came back to the game after ~2years and it changed a lot. Back then my play way always 1. boosting reputation asap to the max with contract work, 2. go all in into digital distribution, which provided a good and safe early income. This is not possible anymore since Beta1.3 I think. Is there a new strategy for early digital distribution?

😥 'Promo sm'

Thanks! This was helpful - I learned a few new things.

It might be worth noting that assigning a lead designer to a contract does have one benefit. You can use it to find out what your designer's creativity score is, and it won't hurt the contract even if it is low. So, you can use contracts to figure out who your lead designers should be for your own software. Just be careful about the timing. If you drain their inspiration and then assign them to your own projects, those projects will suffer when they run out. [EDIT: So, I've discovered that there is a second downside to doing this in the early game. Lead designers ask for bigger raises. It's probably better to wait until you have a decent cash flow before using this trick.]

The building looks great!

oh man my ocd went crazy why is every thing crooked

Super helpful guide, thanks mate. It’s really difficult finding up to date guides for this game. I’d love to see some guides covering the early-mid stages of the game. It feels like there’s a million guides on starting out but hardly any on what to do once you’ve actually got some money in the bank and want to start expanding.

Very helpful thank you Sir

On Founder - Fast Learner/Big Brain with two mild negative traits (Neat/Walker) is better, make Design the primary and then they will be the primo-designer for the life of the game. Fast Friends is not good, because the Founder is going to outlast all other employees, and when those employees leave/die then all of that employees friends, and those friends' friends take a morale hit for 3-12 months. Focused is also not great on any Founder because of the need for them to wear many hats early game. OS or Games are the "maximizing value" Visionary specializations. Games, because they can be ported to any OS and OS because they have the largest potential user pool, and then making products for your OS and ONLY for your OS makes the OS "chain" more desirable the longer into the game. (More products using the OS, the more of the potential user pool one gets) Project Management (Automation under leader) is not a late game thing at all, in fact it should be at about one's third goal (release own product, get own building, start a Project) Even with an OS start it is rare to not have PM set-up and for the second version of that OS by 1985, (late 85 early 86 if one wants 3D and Networking base ability in the OS) AV in 1980 is worthless, it doesn't actually have a "teeth" until Networking in 1985. OS (longest to develop, but best long term move) or Games tend to be the best money-makers. The Editors/Tools are actually better to make in-house to build future products on with the proprietary tools, especially if one has an OS, but to do so, need the money to keep afloat. Four Founder starts are "easy mode", Single Founder start is "slow mode" both for starting off, since it is already slow mode, having skill cap is just another hit to early money/rep gain, but since one wants the Founder to become a Leader ASAP and contribute as little as possible to any single area of a project, it is still worth it, theire is a HUGE difference in the amount of sales from software with a Visionary versus an Innovative, much less a "Normal", as in $2-3 million from a "Normal OS release versus $12-15 million from a Visionary release.. Having a Founding Partner with good Accounting will take care of both "tax issues" early game as well as getting real loans in game so that the team can focus on development of own software instead of doing contracts or deals. The Bank Loan from in-game is far better than the "initial loan" one can get in game setup.

One thing that I think is worth mentioning is that game assets never have bugs to fix. Which makes a bit of sense, you're making art, not code.

I wanna understand leaders and meetings

Bloody good info, man! The circle thing is one I'd never have figured out

Nice video! Could you explain why one not want to boost the creativity of the founder to the maximum? It seems such a logical thing to do ^^

is this modded? i don't have access to most of the furniture you have

this is great, very informative. this game is pretty complex, you probably can do a part 2 / expansion.

Thank you for the good video!

How do market satisfaction or market analysis works? Do we have to follow they graph? is wasted interest bad? would not people like more features?

I don't know if you address this at some point as I haven't finished watching your series yet, but if you could list the extra content (workshop downloads, or other mods) you are using, it would be appreciatied.

Love the new building!

What does frameworks do?

Very interesting series! I've just started getting into the game and it's really fun. You might have caught it by now but maybe take a look at your security people, doesn't look like you're quite getting 3 shifts. I really like the building design, it might be interesting to expand to an adjacent building, if you wanted to go for a campus vibe.

Fantastic. Using the circle tool to change the grid angle blew my mind. Great stuff.

You were a bit quiet, but otherwise, great video!

cool video, can you do one on project management?

Hey man - just found your series! Really enjoying and it's so refreshing to find a simple gameplay + commentary series without any extra fluff, reminds me of OG TH-cam :) Excited to see where it goes next!
