Economy for this game is a nightmare. Either lower costs or boost income. I understand you can "read" to improve repair skill, but it's absurd how much that costs.

You really need to fix thet hunger/energy system, you pay way too much just for food and rent, it's basically impossible to balance that with a gym membership, and even trying to optimize food by eating once every 4 days is barely enough. At least make the player earn more money than 200/week with a 300 payment every 2 weeks?
The only current way to earn more money is upgrading my repair skill to get a raise, and I'm supposed to get a 30$ raise by... spending 750 dollars???? This is way way WAY too grindy right now.

I took the liberty of putting together this list, this should allow people to get a better idea of how time-consuming/grindy this game would be.
Game version: The Handyman v0.0.1a
Energy: = €
+€15 - Shower
+€30 - Sleep (while hungry)
+€60 - Sleep (while not hungry)
+€10 Max - Fitness Level increase from Gym
Hunger: = H
+H20 - Eating at home or street
-H15 - Sleeping while hungry and not hungry.
-H30 - Working at Sandra's
-H30 - Working out at Gym
-H5 - Reading book at Library
Costs in-game:
$300/14'th day - Rent
House Upgrades:
$500 - Plumbing = No boost of € recovery
$600 - Walls
$350 - Electrical
Food: 1 Dinner = +20 H (Currently no € increase)
$20 - Street Dinner
$35 - 2 Dinners
$80 - 5 Dinners
$140 - 10 Dinners
Gym: €10 to get there, €40 to train there.
$40 - 7 Days = $5,71/day
$120 - 30 Days = $4/day
$1000 - 365 Days = $2,74/day
Library: €5 to get there, €30 to read there.
$150 - Repair Book Reading (each time.)
$1500 - Buy the Repair Book.
Sandra's House: €15 to get there, €40 to work there.
Talk to Sandra - Req: 2 Looks
My opinion: Unless there's some drastic changes in $, €, and H gain/cost/recovery in this game, it'll never be a game worthwhile to play.

... Okay, after using a save editor to add a shitton of money to my save, I am now convinced that this game is an elaborate artpiece on the economic ladder and how having money from the beginning is all you need to have a good life.
Seriously, everything that was ridiculously hard at the beginning, the whole hunger/energy system, all of it is solved by just having 20K$ and buying upgrades for your apartment. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that you can't possibly get that money without cheating, and having to cheat just to be able to play the game is not a good look.

Alright guys, I'm working on balancing the early game grind. I'll try to fix that today and put the new HTML file here.

I can also sugest making it less repetitve, some grind to increase stats is ok but 20 days to repair the pool? 10 days to increase looks ect, gets boring quick.
Cheating in SugarCube Games 101:
Find your developer mode - Its bound to F12 in most browsers
Find the console
In the console, type the following (case sensitive): SugarCube.State.active.variables
- This is the default path for sugarcube variables.
Expand the variable list if you have, find the variable you want to change, like "cash" or "money" or whatever
In the console, type the following: SugarCube.State.active.variables.cash = 9999999999
Profit.
This works 99.9% of the time in any html games developed using SugarCube Twine. Most HTML games these days are created using SugarCube since its free.

I see that the new version is listed in the thread title, does that mean all of the download links have the updated version?
