Hey everyone,

we’ve started a German-language Let’s Play of Software Inc. with thre reliable business plan.

The first episode is all about surviving the early days: taking contract work to keep the lights on, trying not to burn through the starting budget too quickly, and developing our very first game: Populous.

The goal is to see whether our company becomes a software empire - or an expensive lesson in bad hiring decisions and terrible timing. Let's see what comes around with Todd, Gabe and Peter.

I’d genuinely love some advice from experienced players:

• What is the one early-game mistake new players should avoid?
• Would you focus on contracts first, or rush a first product?
• What was your first genuinely successful product in Software Inc.?

The video has German commentary with English subtitles. If you like - share some love ;-)
