Unfortunately, some files got mixed up with the release yesterday, breaking the Mac and Linux builds of the game. A hotfix was just released to fix that issue.

On top of that, we saw reports of the Club Amorous DJ crashing the game. We also fixed that issue with this release on all platforms.

Last but not least, we noticed the High DPI mode on Mac needs some manual work to get right. As such, we moved the High DPI mode to a startup argument for advanced users: -highdpi.

To get High DPI mode working properly (as in, your menu won't be shown in the top-left with lots of black around it), follow these steps:
- Start the game without the -highdpi startup argument
- In the main menu under "Options", set your resolution to the maximum possible. Also turn on fullscreen mode.
- Close the Options-window properly (in order to save your changes).
- Close the game, or if you are no longer able to click "Quit", press CMD+Q instead.
- Set the -highdpi startup argument
- Start the game

You should now have a High DPI version of Amorous. Keep in kind that toggling fullscreen will break the High DPI mode and you will have to restart the game!

Yes, you are seeing that right: it's an actual update!

Almost 3 years since the release of v1.0.3, Jasonafex and Lennian decided to give Amorous a final patch with "some" quality of life changes. With this, we feel the Amorous book can be properly closed.

We hope everyone enjoys this release!

An update on Sunday!? Blasphemy!

Just a quick update resolving the issue related to Remy's 3rd date achievement. Besides that, the DJ can now be interacted with, making it possible to achieve the final missing achievement as well!

Just like before, achievements are not retroactively handed out, you will have to replay the date to get it.

This update currently marks the last one in terms of stability. The next prospected update will be v1.1, which will then include any additional reported bugs. No release dates will be given for this update, as it depends on how fast our writer can get the final set of 4th dates done. If it ends up taking too long, a v1.0.4 will most likely be released in the meantime containing the bugfixes.

This v1.0.2 will also be rolled out to itch.io soon, replacing the old v0.8.1 there.

Please report the bugs you find on our official forum, we keep taps on the Steam forums, but it's simply much easier to manage.

Two updates in a row, you bet! Just a quick minor bug-fix release though:

• Fixed crashes on Mac and Linux caused by the Steam implementation.
  
• Fixed tutorial message being send during prologue, rather than after.
  
• Fixed date achievements not being unlocked.
  
  • Unfortunately, not retroactively, so you'll have to play them again.
• Fixed phone from locking if you call a NPC who has no dates left.
  
• Fixed one reported instance of Riptide not being in front of the pool.
  
• Added "-safemode" command-line argument to force the game to start in windowed mode with a small resolution.

Enjoy!

It has finally happened, Amorous v1.0 is live and kicking on Steam!

We highly recommend starting with a fresh game to get the full new experience, especially if you have played Amorous before it came to Steam.

We hope you enjoy!
