High Times Demo Is Now Available!

This has been a long time coming, but finally, the demo for our latest game, High Times, is now available for download! bestgrilbessy

Winter Update!

Happy New Year to all our wonderful Squires! We hope your holidays were filled with love, hope and joy! We look forward to a kinder, healthier and happier 2021! bestgrilbessy Now let's get on with the update, starting with...

Greatest Pleasure


It took forever, but Greatest Pleasure is now available to download as a free DLC. hughperv https://store.steampowered.com/app/1503230/ The Greatest Pleasure DLC unlocks additional static (non-animated) illustrations (CGs) at the end of your waifu's romance path. Once unlocked, the Greatest Pleasure CGs can be viewed at the Gallery. The CGs are ecchi in nature (depictions of sexual act), but it doesn't contain nudity.
This was originally a mod back when the game was first released in 2019, until Steam asked us to convert it into a DLC instead. IMPORTANT: Our benevolent overlord and patron Teofilo has created a better version of the Greatest Pleasure DLC (with story and animated CGs). The mod is called 'Hip to be Squire' and you can install it through the game's workshop. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1884758461

Mod Support & Documentation


Speaking of mods, we've written a guide on how you could create and upload your own mods for the game. We did our best to make the guide as friendly as possible.
You can read the full guide here: https://bit.ly/le-modguide We hope you'll give modding a try! We look forward to your works! amyhappy

Improved Controller Support


Another great news: the game now has full controller support! To complement this, we've implemented controller hints for easier navigation. You can enable them via Options.
This feature is still a work-in-progress, so please don't expect it to be perfect. If you encounter any problems, please let us know through the bug report thread at the forums!
Until we've completed and polished the controller hints, the controller support feature will continue to be in beta.

Patch Notes for v1.3.3:


Note: Patch size is big because we updated our Unity version for better compatibility.
  • Added missing translations for Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Russian and German.
  • Removed 5 item sprites in the gallery that were not used in the game.
  • Fixed a bug wherein the game crashes when you click on the poster at Squire's bedroom.
  • Fixed a bug wherein the meters (hearts) in the relationship screen are missing during New Game+.
  • Fixed a bug in the scene list wherein Vel's Romance is showing the friendship ending instead of the romance ending.
  • Fixed a bug wherein the world map appears white to Turkish users.
  • Fixed a bug wherein the videos appear white which results in a crash in Linux systems. *Note: A few Windows users are also experiencing this issue. Based on our findings, this is because of a program called 'Sonic Studio 2'. It's been known to make games crash because it interferes with DirectX11's functionality. This issue can either be fixed by enabling 'Skip Videos' at the options, or by disabling/uninstalling the program.
  • Various polishes and bug fixes.

Upcoming


  • Improved Controller Hints
  • More Localization Fixes
  • New Localization: Portuguese Language
  • Console Release for Nintendo Switch
  • Mobile Release for Apple Store and GooglePlay
Thank you so much for your continued patience! We're constantly improving the game for better experience! Please look forward to our next patch! bosshappy ------ If you're a fan of what we do and would like to support us further, please consider buying physical merch of our games or supporting us on Patreon!

Summer Update!

Hello Squires, Summer is here! We hope you're all having a wonderful time, just like the cast of Love Esquire in this pandemic-free beach scene hughperv:
Anyways, we've released a rather big patch yesterday for the game. In this update, we focused on improving the player experience during new game+ mode. Please check our patch notes below for v1.2.7:

New Features



  • Ability to time travel using calendar in NG+: Our calendar feature now gives you the ability to travel to a particular day in New Game+ mode. Please take note that you can only use this to travel forward, not backward, so be careful when using this feature.
  • Upgraded relationship window: We've made two major changes to the relationship window: (1) Added a relationship bar (or in this case, a circle) to give players an idea how long until they unlock the next arc/level of relationship. (2) When you've progressed far enough into a waifu's story line, you get locked into her route. Being locked into a waifu's route stops you from triggering other waifu's arcs and special scenes to avoid conflict in the story line. Since this feature has not been clear to all players, we've added a pink glow visual effect in the relationship window to let players know if they've been locked into a route.
  • Special Scenes are now marked with a "!" in NG+: To make waifu hunting easier in NG+ mode, we've decided to mark special scenes in the world map once they're available. For comparison, arcs are marked with "!" on top of the location, while special scenes are marked with "!" on top of the jumping waifu chibis.
  • NG+ Tutorial: We've added a tutorial text at the beginning of your new game+ journey to let you know of the various NG+ changes, features and tips. The tutorial will prompt every time you go into new game+, but you have an option to skip it if you've already seen it. In addition, we've also added a NG+ count beside the time/date UI, so players know how many new game+'s they've played.

Improvements


  • Improved the game's compatibility with regards to the new Unity version.
  • Fixed and improved several issues in the game's localization (CN, RU, DE).
  • When a scene is done playing in the scene list, it now redirects the players to the scene list UI instead of the main menu.
  • Polished and adjusted some voice over lines.

Bug Fixes


  • Fixed a bug wherein the limit break animation is not displaying and the screen turns white instead.
  • Fixed a bug wherein no sound effect is playing on some buttons.
  • Fixed a bug wherein the mouse wheel scroll is not working on the scene list UI.
  • Fixed a bug wherein Beatrice Topics - Traditions 2 [V1] and [V3] are not unlocking properly in the scene list.
  • Fixed a bug in the scene list wherein Vel's Romance is playing the friendship ending instead of the romance ending.
  • Fixed a bug wherein the harem route is not properly unlocking in the scene list.

Upcoming


  • Improvements to controller support
  • Mods guide for players
  • Portuguese localization
  • Greatest Pleasure DLC (previously a mod)
  • More localization fixes
Thank you so much for your continued patience! We're constantly improving the game for better experience!

Happy New Year!!

Hello Squires! First of all, thank you so much for an awesome 2019! This is the year we finally released Love Esquire to the world. We are so happy and grateful because a lot of you are enjoying our work! Thank you so much for supporting us!
Here's to a brighter, happier and more prosperous 2020! There are still a lot of things that we want to improve on the game, and we will continue to work hard so we can bring you a better experience! Happy New Year!!

Patch Notes for v1.1.1


During the past couple of days, we released an update for v1.1.1c. Apologies if the patch notes only came now. Our team was on a much-needed vacation during the holidays. This is also the reason why we haven't been super active in the forums lately.

New Feature: Scene List (BETA)



  • Can be found in the Extras menu under 'Chapters'. (This will be changed to 'Scene List' in a future patch.)
  • Clicking an unlocked scene will play that scene.
  • If a scene has unique routes or major differences, there should be more than 1 entry in the scene list (i.e. Arc 3 Scene 4 [V1], Arc 3 Scene 4 [V2], etc.)
  • If a scene has minor differences, it will show the difference that you have played previously. However, if you have already played/read through all the differences, a default difference will be played instead.
  • There might be some scenes that you've played before but is not unlocked in the scene list. There are two possible reasons for this:
  • 1.) There might be a bug on this scene. Please try to play the scene again and see if it unlocks. If it didn't, please report it and we'll look into it ASAP.
  • 2.) We only added the feature that records scene playing 2 weeks after launch. If you played the scene before then, then you need to play it again in order to unlock it.

Bug Fixes


  • Fixed a display issue for NG+ on load and save UI.
  • Fixed a bug wherein Serena's store is not displaying properly on 4k resolution.
  • Fixed a bug wherein Amy's jealousy scene does not trigger.
  • Fixed a text issue on the Reset Relationship Screen.
  • Fixed an issue wherein the Git Gud achievement is incorrectly triggering when Vagabork is defeated.
  • Fixed an issue wherein the game freezes when skipping the harem ending.
  • Fixed an issue wherein getting the harem ending does not allow you to do New Game+.

Upcoming


  • Mods guide for players
  • More voice acting fixes
  • More localization fixes
  • Greatest Pleasure DLC (previously a mod)
------ Thank you so much for your continued patience! We're constantly improving the game for better experience! Please look forward to our next patch! ()

Our biggest update of the year (v1.1.0) is here!

Hello Squires! Thank you for patiently waiting! bestgrilbessy As the title says, this is our biggest update of the year (apart from the game's release, of course). Previously known as v1.0.5, lots of major features have been added to our v1.1.0 patch, such as:

New Game+ is here! (BETA)


One of the highlights of this update is the implementation of New Game+. Please take note that this is still in BETA. Please bear with us as we continue to fix bugs that might arise due to this feature. Rest assured that we are doing our best to further polish your gaming experience! amyhappy
How does New Game+ work?
  • When you finish an ending, a notification will appear before you go back to the game's main menu. You will be asked if you want to save your game as New Game+. If yes, you will be prompted to save this progress on a new save slot.
  • New Game+ save slots will have a 'NG+' marking on them, as well as a rainbow frame.
  • In New Game+, the days will reset back to Month 1 Day 05. In addition, you can now sleep anytime you want.
  • All of the relationship progress and events that you've previously achieved in your playthrough will be retained and cannot be triggered again, EXCEPT for some date-locked events (i.e. Ladies of the Lake, Fertility Date & Hugh's Monthly Check-Ups). These events should play normally once you reach them.
  • If you want to reset your relationship in New Game+, you can do so by clicking the Relationship UI in Squire's Bedroom. There should be a reset button there. IMPORTANT: You can only reset your relationship with the girl you've already finished.
  • Lastly, all 16 topics of the girl you've finished are now unlocked.

Steam Trading Cards are now available!

Patch v1.0.4 is up!

Hello Squires! We just released v1.0.4 for Windows, Mac and Linux. Please check our patch notes below:

New Feature



  • Added 'MODS' in the game's options for easier tracking and management of the mods you've installed. We're also writing a guide on how you can add your own mods into the game! It will be available soon. :)

Bug Fixes


  • Fixed an issue wherein opening the game causes a black screen to some computers (Unity related)***
  • Fixed an issue wherein spamming the ESC key during the credits causes a black screen.
  • Fixed multiple narrative/script inconsistencies.
  • Improved some UI controls and keyboard/controller support of the game.
  • Changed the implementation of the story events: events of the same girl with overlapping trigger times will no longer happen on the same day.
  • Polished and adjusted over 1400 voiced files.
  • Various bug fixes and polish.
***We had to upgrade our Unity version to fix certain engine bugs. Because of this, we also had to rebuild our asset base, that's why the download size for this patch might be a bit larger than the usual. ------ Thank you so much for your continued patience! We're constantly improving the game for better experience! Please look forward to our next patch! ()

Patch v1.0.3 is up!

Hello Squires! We just released a patch for v1.0.3. Big changes were made to the game. Please check our patch notes below:

New Features


  • Added Cloud Save support.
  • Added 4K texture and resolution support (BETA).
  • Added controller support (BETA). Clickable items and farmable items in backgrounds are still not supported.
  • Added the ability to skip Squire's walking animation in the world map. You can enable this via the game's options.
  • Added the ability to skip limit break videos during campaign. You can enable this via the game's options.

Bug Fixes


  • Fixed an issue wherein buying the soundtrack DLC does not open the music room.
  • Fixed an issue wherein the girls' hearts do not become orange after reaching a certain relationship level.
  • Fixed an issue wherein some farmable items cannot be given to the girls as gifts.
  • Fixed an issue wherein the tiers (stars) of the items do not display in the gifting window.
  • Fixed an issue wherein the limit break notification sound effect is playing even though the limit break feature is not yet unlocked.
  • Fixed an issue wherein some achievements are triggering in the wrong places/conditions.
  • Fixed an issue wherein certain rare items can be obtained more than once.
  • Fixed an issue wherein all the girls are sad after certain events and do not recover for a long time.
  • Fixed an issue wherein the item sprites are not appearing in the game's gallery. Unfortunately, you would have to get them again in order to view them in the gallery. We're deeply sorry for the inconvenience!
  • Fixed an exploit wherein farmable items can be indefinitely looted in certain conditions.

Additional Fixes


  • Polished and adjusted over 1200 voiced lines.
  • The training UI now remembers your previous training mode and auto-selects it.
  • Polished and fixed several inconsistencies in the game's narrative.
  • Reworked Hugh's Day 30 check-up event for Months 1-3. In this day, the game will automatically time skip and bring you to the tavern by 6 PM. We made this change because several bugs have been caused by Hugh's check-up events, and this will hopefully eliminate all existing (and future) bugs that are caused by this event.

Upcoming


The following things are still in our pipeline:
  • New Game+
  • More voice acting volume fixes
  • Localization fixes
  • Scene List that lets you check all the events in the game that you haven't unlocked
  • Steam trading cards and badges
  • Digital Artbook and Dakimakura DLCs
  • Greatest Pleasure [Ecchi] DLC*
*Steam had asked us to remove the Greatest Pleasure [Ecchi] mod and convert it into a DLC instead. We will be releasing it as a free DLC soon. --- Thank you so much for your support and continued patience! We're constantly improving the game for better experience! Please look forward to our next patch! ()

Hello Squires! We just released a patch for v1.0.2. Please check our patch notes below:

  • Vel's endings are now attainable (fixed since v1.0.1a).
  • Expanded the save slots from 6 to 54. Players also now have the ability to save on a different slot.
  • Added the missing 31 Steam achievements. They should automatically unlock if you've already done them before.
  • Fixed a bug wherein the relationship penalty for a waifu's jealousy scene is much greater due to stat bonus and x2 easy mode multiplier.
  • Reduced the relationship penalty of the waifus' jealousy scenes from -1000 to -200.
  • Added a new tutorial scene (Day 2 Morning) to notify the players that the game could end prematurely once they've reached an ending, regardless of date.
  • Waifu events should not happen anymore on Day 30 of any month to give way for Hugh's checkup event.
  • Pamu's special scene will not trigger anymore when there's a birthday of a waifu.

  • Fixed a bug wherein the achievement notifications overlap each other.

The mod you've been waiting for!

Hello Squires, In case you're not aware, we had to remove some CGs to avoid being classified as an "adult only" game. If you want those CGs restored, you can download the "Greatest Pleasure CGs" patch at the workshop. Just click the subscribe button and it should automatically download them back into the game. IMPORTANT: These CGs are ecchi at most because our country's laws prohibit us from doing a full-blown h-patch. Which brings us to...

Hip To Be Squire



Our super backer and benevolent overlord, Tefilo, has created an uncensored mod of the greatest pleasure CGs. Fans of our previous game, The Letter, know him as the creator of Marianne McCollough and the person who funded the game's voice acting. His contribution to The Letter has been invaluable to us. And now, he's back at it again with Love Esquire! When you're playing the game and experiencing man's greatest pleasure, you'll know who to thank! ( ) To enable the mod, just go to our workshop and look for the 'Hip To Be Squire Uncensored' patch, then click the subscribe button.

Future Updates


The entire team is hard at work in further improving and polishing the game. We're very grateful to everyone who reported bugs! Please look forward to our upcoming patch that fixes the following:
  • Localization issues
  • Voice acting volume adjustments
  • Various bug fixes
  • Original Soundtrack, Digital Artbook and Dakimakura DLCs
---- Thank you so much for your support! Please don't forget to leave us a review!

    Love Esquire is a romantic-comedy dating simulator, with a nostalgic touch of old-school RPG combat.

    In this game, you're not a famous knight, but a good-for-nothing squire who's on a quest to find man's greatest pleasure. Getting the girl won't be easy though, since most of them are waaay out of your league!

    To make things worse: you have a few months left before this huge war happens, and the only thing you know is how to milk cows. Good luck cramming years worth of training into four months! If it's any consolation, you get a medal if you die. ¯/_(ツ)_/¯

    No one believes that a lowly squire can save the world while banging – err, bagging – the girl of his dreams... but with a shitton of dumb luck, well... you might just prove them wrong!

    Welcome to the world of Love Esquire, and may the fertility god have mercy on your virginity.



    Nameable Hero – Whose name will these girls cry out during those scenes? You decide!

    5 Dateable Waifus – More than just pretty faces, the ladies of Love Esquire have their own unique personalities, story arcs, and backstories!

    Turn-based combat with a twist – We’ve added our own flavor to classic RPG combat! Time your actions right, and see your squire support his knight to victory!

    Day-To-Day Management – The life of a squire is a busy one! Allocate time between training stats and battling foes, all while searching for the girl of your dreams.

    Relationship & Stat Raising – Our girls have standards, so do some digging first! Be sure you shape up to be their ideal man.

    Multiple Endings – What’s waiting for your squire at the end of the journey? Make decisions that will end up great or turn out to be otherwise.

    Partially Voiced – So you can hear your waifus partially express their partially undying love for you!

    Ecchi & Mature content – this game contains subjects and themes your parents warned you about as a kid.

    Moddable Content – the game will support simple modding on release. To be discussed in a future update.

    Original Soundtrack – we want you to experience the feels while playing this game, and our soundtrack will see to that!
