Firstly, I'm really sorry for all the hassle, I'm just trying to get into the next chunk of the game. I've really been enjoying the scenes I have access too, which seems to be the majority for now.
Secondly, unfortunately Kuri doesn't seem to show up at all now when starting a new game. I managed to get to level 2 through Zorro, complete the initial hangouts with Trald and Gen, get Gen to agree to workout with me, and thoroughly explore both the Neighborhood and Park fighting even the Bulky Wolf and Boar.
And Thirdly, whatever change was made doesn't seem to have fixed anything with my existing saves. Kuri's and Zorro's events and missions still don't activate properly and aren't being tracked. I guess at first their respective events and meets just got flagged as complete somewhere in the mix without notification before hitting a wall at that last call from Zorro which would've started the next main quest, but with Kuri not activating at all now the game has actually moved further back a step.
I truly don't mean to bother you about this. I've tried restarting multiple times throughout this conversation both on the browser version and the downloaded, so for now I'm just gonna leave the game alone until the next update and see if the problem resolves. On a separate note, and just an fyi, there is also a rare occurrence where an error displays when exploring the Neighborhood about something called, "Relaxed Gorilla Soft." I don't know what it is, but I thought you should know. Again, I'm sorry for the trouble and look forward to further updates. Thanks for taking the time to help.
