Is Vinny not a good character to start?
I wasted my entire first day getting my cart back and eating, and by the time I got to the grocery store it was closed. So my second day I shopped and baked, and by the third day I was selling bagels for $0.15 (couldn't figure out how to raise this). But half the time when it wanted me to make change I wouldn't have anything in the drawer, so what was I supposed to do?

That's a good question. I think Melanie is the "easiest" in the sense that she has the least worries, and Andrus' is the hardest.
In vinny's case I think that if you didnt have money in the drawer is because you didnt have money yourself? he has to get it from somewhere. There's also a similar glitch going around that could still be related to what's happening to you here.

There's a option in the menu to set prices. Can't remember exactly what the thing is to click. The lack of money in the drawer is unfortunately a glitch :/ annoying isn't it. (The dev said so on his site)
the most common problem I've had is that selling coffee with Andrus quite often results in the cash register glitching as if you are giving the incorrect change before it has actually allowed you to open it. Hope this gets a patch but as its build in Adventure Game Studio any patches will delete all previous versions' saves.
yup this has happened to me as well occasionally
I wish you would post this in the OTs and announcements that are met with 'Oh boy, another fucking FPS!'
There are a bunch of places that will sell you food over the counter but its pretty expensive and you will eat it there and then. The energy bars aren't that expensive since you get (I think) 4 per box and you can carry them around and eat them on the go. They also don't spoil. Ultimately I'm finding the best way to feed Andrus at least is to swing by Tim Bigby's store and buy a sandwich for $5 that will max out his hunger guage and can be carried around. Saving it and eating it the day after is also viable but gives you only half as much.
Played it for about an hour and I'm finding it to be quite intriguing. The art is way more detailed and organic than one might assume from looking at screenshots.
Anyway, I started as Andrus, wasted apparently a whole day traveling by foot a few times because the bus wasn't scheduled (I didn't have the watch yet), somehow didn't find any water at the grocery store so I bought a carton of milk and some other other junk, then on the next day 90% of the people wanted to buy either coffee or milk (for which I had no cups) and with the three people who actually asked for a newspaper I fucked up the change minigame. I might have to start over. Life is tough in Cart Life.

I started playing with Andrus today, and well....it's started badly haha, tough game.
One question....is there any solution to this 'no change' glitch? I have customers but no money is in my till anymore so no change is possible. Annoying if not because I was really getting into the game.

my GOTY for last year; I didn't have too much trouble with it the first time, managed to 'beat' the game with Andrus. I kept it simple on my cart, just papers and soft drinks, rather than buying all the crap needed for coffee. Nat that that stopped the customers asking for coffee like 5 times a day, fucking Dick always asking. Also the policeman would always pick up like 3 papers a day. Is there really so little crime that he needs to read 3 papers a day? Great game

Sorry to bump this again, but really looking for guidance on this 'no change' glitch, because I spent a fair bit of time on the game and began to really enjoy every aspect of it, but if this is a real game breaking bug then perhaps I'll leave it for a while.
I'd restart the game (doing Andrus' story) but don't want to spend another hour or so leading up to no change appearing in my till again.
Edit: Just saw on the forums that the developer is aware of it thankfully. http://richardhofmeier.com/cartlife/basilica/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=919

patch should be coming soon
Playing as Melanie and I can't figure out how to take my daughter to school. I wake up at like 5:00am and just stand there until she magically appears by the door, but I can't interact with her at all. Eventually she just yells that she's leaving since nobody will take her. If I try to leave for the school, I just end up going alone. There was just this one time when I was upstairs wasting time when suddenly she asked if I was ready to go and I was able to say yes. Every other time I haven't been able to figure it out. Help?

So the creator took the game off Steam and made it free and open source. However, his website to download the game doesn't load properly. Does anyone know of another way to get the game? All websites I've seen with download links just direct me to the aforementioned URL.
