I am loving the updates to this game! Honestly! It's so much fun!!!
Suggestion: Add speed upgrades to the fan!
I'd like to also suggest some of my own ideas :
An upgrade for the fan that adds a keyboard toggle for turning it on or off. Probably a mid-game upgrade to further automate another step of the whole process.
Consider adding a desk item that prevents selected scratch-offs, or other paperwork, from being blown into the scratch machine. A paper weight or a paper tray?
- This is assuming there is a toggle for the fan. This would let players "hold" more sensitive scratch-offs without worrying about a toggled on fan sending them into the scratch machine, while scratching their cards. You can't throw away machine scratched cards, so this should help mitigate situations where you have to cash in -$ cards before you think your luck and balance is good enough to handle it.
Consider adding a "subscription" feature from phone guy. Automatically buys a selected type of scratch-off every "x unit of time". Upgradable, so said "x unit of time" decreases for faster automation. (premium subscriber or whatever)
- This can easily put you into debt if you aren't mindful about your luck, upgrades, or what type of card you select. So I think it'd be an interesting addition, both for automating your scratch-off process and getting unmindful players into bankruptcy. Assuming, loans ever become more than a consequenceless safety net.
I'd like to see some more consequences for going bankrupt. Bills for your loan. Something to make players juggle some more risk for not being financially responsible. Haven't paid the last 3 bills? You get forced liquidated. Early prestige, and have to start over with fewer points than you'd probably wanted.
