What is the game plan after the Streetwalker Update?
I can see story beats continuing to take the back-burner, that's fine. I'd like to see more balancing, bugfixing, and more work done on the currently existing game mechanics, and some more UI improvements - rather than even more new and incomplete stuff getting added in. The game is in a perfectly playable state, but I think feedback could be improved if the game was even closer to what we should be able to expect in a final product. Examples in the spoiler.

It's clear to me now that people have been roleplaying former man in a lot more ways than I'd realised.
Although I previously said I want the trait to persist in some form, I'd never really meant having them display any particular "masculine" personality traits, let alone a particular sexual orientation due to that start. I wouldn't want anyone to be restricted to only certain content or a particular playstyle by it, since being a particular gender/sex can mean entirely different things or nothing whatsoever to different people.
I do have my own idea for who Sammy was, is, and who I want them to eventually be, and I hope to have freedom to just roleplay that through my choices.
I would certainly soon get sick of lots of "woe is me" and reminiscing about having had a penis 24/7.
That initial awkwardness and the light teasing from the sister you get in this route is great, and I honestly couldn't think where exactly I'd like it to see the trait go from there.
The only thing that really got me about the trait disappearing is kind of down to semantics.
Whereas people can stop being a particular thing (e.g. nerd, jock, whore, man, woman, bird watcher, ect.), you logically can't stop having been a thing, only change your attitude towards that thing and yourself.
It's the trait having the word "Former" right in the title that makes the disappearance of it feel more like a retcon of the character rather than an evolution.
For that reason I think the trait should persist but with an adjusted description, and effect on which dialogue can trigger, that reflects Sammy having completely come to terms with the changes in their life.

This. Also let the open buttons also close the windows and it would be nice to have perks as icons+tooltips in the main display. There is no indication that the user should check the menu when a new perk is aquired, as a result they can be easily missed.

FWIW I would suggest (maybe at around the same point as when Former Man would usually convert to choosing a normal backstory) that it switches to like a faded version of the perk, rather than outright removed, and have references from then be much more minor/shorter/not special/whatever. I do kinda agree that you're probably never going to get over the "hey, I used to be a man!" thing but yeah, you're also not going to be go "Oh, woe is me, I used to be able to get people pregnant but now I make babies, how could this happen!?" like 5 years in, you'd probably have offed yourself by then if it was that bad. I think it's more about still occasionally acknowledging it, rather than having big old scenes all the time about penis envy.
tbh I've been trying to work out what the actual issue here is and I'm not sure you have the right game? I'm not too sure what autoclicker would be useful for and that game size is multiple times more than I think the game actually is. Maybe double-check you're on a clean install of the game and haven't just been copying over the old install?
ok, now that i have remember more clearly
i did save a Lot in the game,so much so that the game download increase to 1.2 G
But i did delete all of it and it's still lagging

100%
Of course, the challenge then becomes writing enough blerbs so that they don't sound repetitive, and also making sure that it's not about penis envy.

I mentioned this before but personally think it could be interesting to have the ability to actually be into it. Being able to not just immediately accept but embrace the fact you turned into a girl. But accepting what you become shouldn't remove what you were.

Like a trans girl origin, where Sammy is immediately happy to have been transformed but still references her pre-transition?

I feel making it something along the line of trans kinda makes it have different connotations to what I've understood most want out of it here. But maybe its just me seeing it that way
I noticed that the version in log.txt says the game was compiled in Ren'Py 7, is there any plan to get Fixer in Ren'Py 8?
Also, I noticed that when going to the still in the slums whatever logic there is to comment on Viktor is backwards. This character never went to haven (in fact this Sammy is totally new and hasn't done anything but exercise, watch TV, and run to the still) and claims to have seen him in a place she hasn't visted yet. This dialog does not appear when a character has already been though haven however, hence the comment on the logic.

I kinda see where these are going and don't disagree that it would be nice, but my expectation would be that it might be too small change to be worth it (i.e. a few too many changes but that aren't significantly off what you might expect from baseline anyway). I think this would be something that's maybe close to just being RP'd by going with a more positive late origin choice.
Might be misremembering or outdated, but I think there's something slightly fucky with 8 that breaks existing code a little.
To be honest, I'm not really too sure what the issue is. Assuming you're using auto-clicker to play out a large number of days, it might just be that game length is making saves big. If it's not just the saves, then I would assume auto-clicker is doing something to make the game bigger or there's some colossal error logs somewhere that auto-clicker's powered through, as I don't think the game should be increasing in install size through other files... ever?

Agreed. Male Start Sammy is already trans, technically, so if the procedure was something he had wanted then it's just Female Start with extra steps, as i feel he would jump on the opportunity to stop referring to himself as male and remind his sister that he used to be her brother. I can't see him missing being a man, which is what Male start is about.
Will we ever get more Emily content after the heaven mission. It's sad how she just vanishes and we never see her again.
If you get friendly with the Football boys, their conversation outright says that not only is your sister living with you, that she is even sleeping in your bed.
Clearly she isn't, but maybe she should be?

What I am trying to say is we don't see her, we can't interact with her, we can't do anything. She's as good as gone. My question is will there be more content with her in the future?
*shrug* I'm not the Dev so I can't answer, but I would be extremely surprised if there weren't.
There is a glitch for brown eyes. They break the player character description, removing race and hair information. I know this is tiny, but I figure that also means it should be an easy fix. All the other eye colors seem to work fine.
