Improved Controller Support

Patch Notes for v1.3.3:

• 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.

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

Hello Squires! We hope you're all safe and sound from the threats of COVID-19! bestgrilbessy In case you haven't noticed, we released a patch for v1.2.4 a few days ago. Please check our patch notes below:

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

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)

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)

• 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!

Digital Artbook & Digital Dakimakura DLCs, now available!

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

• 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!

Additional Fixes

• 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.

Original Soundtrack DLC

LE Icons

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...
