## // 01What is this

COMMIT!!! is a life-and-career simulation about being a software developer. You take jobs, ship commits, and inherit somebody else's legacy monolith. Codebase debt is real and it fights back. Rent is due. The performance review is coming. Your bank balance and your nerves are both stats — and only one of them refills overnight.

Built in Godot 4 for Windows and Linux. Out September 10, 2026 on Steam — $9.99, during Programming Fest. Premium game: pay once, play forever. No ads, no in-app purchases, no account — works fully offline.

## // 02The loop

- The Commit Pulse. Manual work is a timing minigame. Ace every phase for a flawless commit — or clip the yellow and ship dirty. The debt remembers.
- Debt & Hidden Bugs. Ship dirty and the codebase remembers. Debt shrinks your future options; hidden bugs surface at the worst possible moment. Refactor, test, or drown.
- Jobs, Gigs & Startups. Apply, interview, negotiate the offer — then survive the weekly evaluation. Take gig contracts on the side, or found a company and watch the burn rate instead.
- The Feed. Post once a day on DevWire. Followers, dunks, flame wars — and ten legendary coders quietly watching how you ship.
- AI Assistants. Delegate work to the Autocomplete Goblin or Vibe Engine Pro. AI saves slots but leaves residue. Trust, but verify.
- One Run, One Epilogue. Rent every Sunday. A cat. A partner. A language market that shifts under your feet. Twenty-six career epilogues, graded A to F.
