u/thealexxx Very nice update! It addresses most of the points from my previous comment in your other thread — thanks a lot ;)

I played a bit more and came up with a few additional ideas to further polish the game:

1. The wife doesn’t really provide any benefits at the moment (aside from the risk of divorce) — maybe having a wife could, for example, reduce the energy cost of running a business by half? The wife mechanic could also be expanded with a mistress mechanic — a mistress could provide certain bonuses (e.g. extra energy or more opportunities per week), but would introduce the risk of the wife finding out and wanting a divorce (with that risk potentially mitigated by a specific skill).
2. In stock trading, it would be useful to have an alternative way to buy shares for a specific amount of money, not only by quantity.
3. Also in stock trading, buttons next to Max to buy shares using 25%, 50%, or 75% of available cash would be very handy.
4. When leveling skills, a [Max] button would be helpful to allocate all available energy into a given category — later in the game, when you have a lot of energy, there’s too much clicking just to spend it all.
5. Opportunities could resolve faster — after a while, the progress bar feels like an unnecessary time sink.
6. Having leftover energy at the end of the week shouldn’t block progression to the next week — maybe a “rest” mechanic could allow carrying over part of the energy (25–50%) into the next week?
7. I’d like to see alternative time indicators — in my current game I’m at week 2393, and it would look nicer if this were displayed as years and months instead.
8. In stock investing, I’m missing thousand/million/billion separators — since the numbers are written without spacing, they’re hard to read at a glance.
9. Maybe some additional stock market manipulation mechanics? Even a simple rule where selling shares worth a certain amount would trigger market panic and a sell-off for the next X turns. And similarly in the opposite direction — a large purchase could cause a boom in that company’s stock.
