Thanks for reporting, seems I forgot to put in the critical code to mark the events as viewed. It should be harmless, and we'll pretend it's just the beginning of the much requested gallery feature.
Next update it should be fixed, and you'll just have to do the event again quickly to make it go away
Appears in your bedroom in the morning. If it doesn't, try doing another dress clothing event (in the kitchen) and it should fix itself. If not, post your save file and I'll take a look at what's wrong.
Hey I'm glad you liked the new modelling content, quite a few have drawn attention to it in a similar way. Makes me think I should have done it that way from the beginning!
I wouldn't worry too much about quantity over quality. The current roster is going to make up the bulk of the content over the next year. I'm thinking there'll be some very small characters here and there to sort of augment the main characters (just having one off or a couple events, that kind of thing). But beyond that I'm not sure how many more main characters will actually be added. I've got one more at least but that's not something I'll be considering until Lydia is basically finished.
There's a whole load of stuff I can do with Jen that I just sort of can't with others, and vice versa. Introducing new ones opens new doors to exploit. I'll do my best to maintain that relationship growth you talked about, though I think some of the new faces might have different ideas of what that means and how to get there.
I also have to admit that working on Jen exclusively gets very creatively draining. I doubt that new modelling content would have happened the way it did without getting a breather to work on the other characters. Might not make a whole lot of sense, but I think a lot of my best ideas I conjure while working on something completely different.
Thanks for offering this perspective, it's very helpful. I'll investigate the bug you reported there, so thanks for that (I do remember fixing this i think, not sure what happened).
