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



The game has gone through countless revisions based on the feedback we've received from players at cons. We've been so busy with development that we haven’t been as active as we'd like on our social media, but we hope the quality of this demo makes up for it!

Since this is an alpha demo, some features are still missing and there are known bugs (e.g., missing voice lines, visual glitches, etc.) If you run into any game-breaking issues though, please let us know!

Thank you so much for your patience! From all of us here at YYM, we hope you enjoy High Times! Please leave us a review! ːsimonewinkː

Hey gang,

We're super excited to publicly unveil our latest and sweetest creation: High Times.

In a world where you can get high with no consequences, the hardest drug to get over are your exes. In this (anti) dating sim about drugs and donuts, you'll manage a café, serve special donuts that get customers high, and live out the ultimate fantasy — getting closure with your exes!

Wishlist on Steam:

Welcome to The Hotbox!

It's the year 2069 (nice!), and miracles have been made in the name of science. The greatest of them all? Drugs are now totally safe to consume!

Set in the fictional world of San Mazo — which is totally not a rip off of LA — you're a Mood Confectioner (a fancy term for someone who bakes drugs into sweets) who must turn your boss' café, The Hotbox, into the hottest place in town or get fired. That isn’t the end of your problems, though — the exes whom you've ghosted are back in town and they all have a bone to pick with you.

Good luck, heartbreaker!

Dear gang,

It's been awhile, but we decided to come back and make another horror game, a short visual novel called 'Saint Maker'.

In Saint Maker, you play as Holly Beltran, a young girl who experiences strange hauntings while visiting an old convent. The game will be dealing with both psychological and religious horror, and features eerie statues of saints coming to life — their faces cracked and twisted.

The game is currently out on Steam with a 20% launch discount:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1785300

While Saint Maker is in a different genre from Love Esquire, we’ve tried our best to make sure it has the same production quality and story-telling flair as our previous games.



If you're looking for a good horror story that also gives an emotional gut punch, please consider trying Saint Maker! ːamyhappyː

Dear Squires,

We'd like to officially announce our upcoming game, "Saint Maker", a religious psychological horror visual novel.


While attending a religious recollection, Holly Beltran experiences strange hauntings throughout the convent. At night, broken faced statues and whispered prayers haunt Holly’s dreams — before the recollection is over, Holly may have to face more than her own demons to come out alive.

• Length: 4-8 hours, depending on reading speed
  
• Platforms: PC (Steam/Itch.io); Mobile (iOS/Android); Nintendo Switch
  
• Intended Release: 2022

✟ Religious/Psychological Horror: Experience a horror story rich with eerie religious iconography and psychological scares.

✟ Fully Voiced: A full cast of professional English voice actors will be bringing the characters to life.

✟ Interactive Dialogue Choices: As the horror unfolds, your choices will help Holly discover more about herself during this ordeal.

✟ Bone-chilling Visuals: Witness the haunting setting of the Convent of the Sisters of Saint Idelora, with detailed backgrounds, CGs, and animated illustrations adding to an immersive and terrifying experience.

✟ Original Soundtrack: Originally composed soundtracks which add both horror and heart to the story.

PLEASE ADD SAINT MAKER TO YOUR STEAM WISHLIST:

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! ːbestgrilbessyː 💖

Now let's get on with the update, starting with...


It took forever, but Greatest Pleasure is now available to download as a free DLC. ːhughpervː

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

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: {LINK REMOVED}https://bit.ly/le-modguide

We hope you'll give modding a try! We look forward to your works! ːamyhappyː


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.

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.

• 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! ːbosshappyː

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 ːhughpervː:



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:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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! Please look forward to our next patch! ːbosshappyː
