Can we get back the auto save function? It's a bare minimum any game in 2023, not sure why sometimes devs decide to block it.

Because with my previous game, after many updates, the saves reached too large a size. And with auto save active you had constant lag spikes and stuttering. Maybe other devs do it for this reason as well.
I've played hundreds of games in Renpy, never had an issue like this. There's a finite amount of autosaves you can have that will be automatically rewritten. The amount is based on how many saves you allow in a page. Unless you modify something with that, it should never be an issue at all. I honestly doubt they'd do it for the same reason, most of those devs never had any previous games and did it from day 1.

So happy that you changed from Sandbox as I said when I did try them both last update! 
Once upon a time (aka when I started to visit f95) I only played sandbox games as I thought that was the best. Now it's nearly the opposite, tried some games that I liked but stopped playing as the playing mechanism (sandbox) was to boring in itself. And some I quit before playing thru the first try of the game because of the griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinding.

Why the change - no town map - no choices, what happened, Likes it better when you got to solve a quest instead of just reading a story that moves on its own
the dev removed the sandbox elements most seemed to want this i think its a positive change
While I like the step taken - you still need to make choices or a story is not of any value to the reader

The name change button is already there in game. You can find it in preferences. But only after you name mc the first time.
Not to be contrary, but there's actually one more thing you can do regarding an artifact in later dialogue that doesn't quite fit any longer:
LAYLA
Hmm... Why did she give them to you?
???
Well... I convinced Aaron to do a certain thing...
???
She wanted to thank me, so...
LAYLA
Chanel has always been an open-minded girl.
LAYLA
I like that girl!
If I might make a humble suggestion:
LAYLA
Hmm... Why did she give them to you?
???
Well... she wanted to thank me for...
???
...
???
That's strange. I can't remember what I did for her. It's almost like she completely removed the event from the timeline so that it never actually happened just so that I would end up with these for plot reasons.
LAYLA
Chanel has always been an open-minded girl, but I never thought she would be open to messing with the space-time continuum.
LAYLA
I like that girl!
You're welcome, Kuggazer. Glad I could help.

Thank you for your feedback. But I'm pretty sure I edited that dialogue....Not to be contrary, but there's actually one more thing you can do regarding an artifact in later dialogue that doesn't quite fit any longer:

This game is pretty wholesome, I like it, had a good time playing it. MC looks a bit of a wimp but I can live with it. The characters sell it to me mostly, story is about average, but the being blind stuff is something new... I actually hope if/when he gets back home he won't be able to magically see again, would be interesting to see how he deals with it. Also glad it no longer has sandbox, don't really like those.

No need for people to supply you with their saves, all you have to do is setting the game to skip unseen text and just skip ahead until chapter 3 is finished...
There are no choices until chapter 4.
