Have you ever wanted to run your own software company? Go to IT is a business simulation game with a multitude of parameters to manage and meaningful choices to enjoy. Build your company and bring it to the top, surviving almost 30 years of software industry ups and downs.
Tactical Depth

Choose your corporate strategy. In-house projects or outsource? Tight deadlines when stakes are high or playing safe while missing on profit?
Manage the entire project lifecycle. Implement methodologies and techniques: test-driven development, refactoring, pair programming. Build your processes and test them against market reality.
Loans, investments, recruitment, buying development tools, setting up an office. Challenging decisions await.

Multidimensional Management Challenges

Additionally to hard skills, each employee has soft skills and personality. A highly qualified person, who is always late and not really willing to learn? Or jack-of-all-trades, punctual, but lacking motivation? Choose wisely while recruiting and assigning tasks.
Find new employees, promote and educate them, and don’t forget to take care of their job satisfaction.
10+ parameters affect job satisfaction level. Who said it would be easy?

The History of the Software Industry

The game starts in 1991 when the software market establishes. You will live through all industry milestones and pivotal points.
As the market develops, you get new technological opportunities. Use them for your good and profit.
The game features cutting-edge software technologies as well. Starting in 2009, you can build blockchain projects.
We did our best to make the timeline as realistic as possible. Have fun and learn new facts simultaneously.

New Year Patch Notes

Holidays? Nah, check out what weve done with this years last release! We focused on own projects and performance.

Own projects are now long-term. After their release, they continue to float on the market and generate revenue.
We also optimized the exchanges performance and overall performance of the game. Hope for your feedback on that one specifically!

And to not over the party, we brought a couple of bug fixes:

Game saves now autosaving frequently. There should be no situation when you load the save and get thrown back in time
Salary raise works properly adding 10% of existing salary to employees check
Doubled platforms in own project platform selection are gone
Employees assignment on own project creation fixed

We wish you a lot of new accomplishments in 2019. Plenty of updates on Go to IT coming up in the new year. So see you there.
Yours,
Black Deck Crew
