    You could probably reduce stress by changing the max tasks for the porting team. Right now they're doing 6 ports simultaneously which is probably what's stressing them out more than how long it takes

    I always schedule my morning and night teams an hour apart before one leaves and the next comes in. I haven't played Software Inc in awhile but the staff used to complain there's no computers available the moment they showed up if the previous scheduled team hasn't quite left yet. Plus it made it slightly easier for the cleaning crew to keep the building cleaner. I used to day and night almost everything

      It also has the benefit of allowing your tech people to access the computers, because they used to not maintain computers if people were using them. But it's been a few years since I played so who knows if its still like that.

    If you want to give your porting team some experience you can go through your own IP catalogue and make sure everything from the last few years is available on Doors. Your newest releases of Canvas and Vector didn't have Doors selected as part of the port job (at least as of min 34 of the video).

    • @RustyWalker
      @RustyWalker 8 місяців тому +2

      Yeah but that's a legitimate choice. Not all companies have several shifts. Not having other shifts does entail having larger/more offices and a larger HQ so that the employees who would've been on those shifts can join the team in working hours.
      PS Looks like Dylan's opted to start using some night shift workers rather than make the building bigger for now.

    • @PauperJ
      @PauperJ 8 місяців тому +2

      In Software Inc, if you have two shifts working on a task, it is completed twice as fast. If you have three shifts, it is completed in 1/3 the time.

    • @RustyWalker
      @RustyWalker 8 місяців тому

      @@PauperJ This is what I meant. If you don't want to have shifts you need bigger teams with bigger offices, so the 3 shifts that do the work in 1/3 of the time are all working on a single shift.
      The game penalises you for assigning too many people to a project, but it doesn't care if those people are in 1 team or 3, or on 1 shift or 3 up until they disturb each other with too much noise, that is, so you need lots of offices to spread them out.
      You also need to allow for other services like extra room in the canteen to seat them all and extra car parking spaces because they're all at work at the same time.
      The meeting rooms need to be larger to accommodate them all, with sufficient chairs for everybody on the team.
      What is true is that is more _efficient_ to have shifts, because you can build smaller premises with lower overall running costs, and the computers being kept in use constantly.
      Though you should plan a maintenance window so that IT support can get to them without disturbing the teams.
      And as Dylan realised, you need at least an hour between shifts so the teams don't debuff each other by being in the office at the same time.
