FAQ
If you have a question that you feel should be added to the FAQ, please reply to this thread.
Pricing
What will the game cost?
The price of the game will slowly rise during development, like Minecraft, since I want the price to reflect the current state of the game. I feel it's a nice bonus for early backers and for helping make the game what it is. I expect the price to settle around at least $25.

Development plans
What is planned for Software Inc.?
You can check out, comment and vote on the current roadmap at Trello[trello.com].

Gameplay related
What changes if I increase days per month?
Most expenses are calculated at the end of each month, while income is calculated during each day, so if you have 1 day per month, all profits will be calculated at once, whereas if you have more days per month, you have time to plan ahead before you have to pay salaries, etc.
Increasing days per month makes the game longer, it does not add anything special to the gameplay, other than what is discussed above.
The feature was mainly added as a way to deal with some people feeling the game moved too fast and some people feeling the opposite.

Where does the interest go from my insurance account?
It is added to your insurance account, you have to withdraw it if you want to use for something other than insuring your employees.

How do I play coop in multiplayer?
You can outsource tasks by clicking "Assign" on it and picking another player. Outsourcing development tasks will allow you to offer royalties, so multiple players can make money off the same product. You can also take loans from other players by using the last tab in the loan window.

To play the latest version you need to be in the Beta branch.
Go to your Steam library
Right click Software Inc
Choose Properties
Choose Beta
Use the drop down menu to change to beta (you do not need a code).

> Putting down multiple objects

If you want to put down the same object multiple times such as a table or chair, hold down the SHIFT key when placing the object.

Is there any other way besides using the settings is there to boost fps? (Already set the settings to their lowest)

My computer/laptop can only run this game at a fluctuating 11 FPS.

Another thing is that when you set the time speed to max, the cars sound like little flies, which gets annoying after a while, but it's bearable.

I can't see how I can do this with the version bought directly from the games' website? Any ideas please?

Thanks

Yeah, after reading my question, it does come across as insulting. I'm sorry, I'm a filterless-ass-hat who couldn't achieve even 1% of what you've created here :(

It wasn't insulting at all! I was mostly referring to other comments I've received, but mostly just messing around :D I have no aspirations of becoming a 3D artist at all. Don't be so hard on yourself!

Well, in any event, I bought your game because it reminded me of the The Sims (Y2K) and I hope your project receives the support to grow into something even more popular! Best of luck bro!

There should be an option to see:
1. Idle workers
2. Workers who are doing well
3. Need to see what kind of guy is required for the ongoing project (like number of designers, programmers, artists required for a particular project or contract)
