Michael, you bring up an interesting point about the return of some characters and the new protagonist. While this announcement might sound exciting on the surface, it’s important to view it in the context of Jasonafex’s history. Amorous 1, despite its popularity, had a rocky reputation for buggy coding and lack of long-term support. Moreover, starting Amorous 2 before completing Bare Backstreets (a game stuck in development for over a decade) raises serious concerns about whether this new project will fare any better. Many fans feel burned by BBS, and without tangible progress or transparency from Jasonafex, it’s hard to justify getting too excited about Amorous 2 just yet.
Hi Kiba. I really appreciate your support on my post regarding Amorous 2. And while I am fully aware of the history of Amorous 1 Development and Jasonafex in general, at least he acknowledged my questions on YouTube and answered by replying that, "the return of the datable characters will depend on the amount of Fan Art of those characters, and because of Amorous 1 being open-ended, several characters will be considered single so they can be dated."
And don't get me wrong, I also know that everyone really wants BBS, and that's fine, I fully understand that. I just also want to be clear that Amorous is all I'm focused on. And even though I did notice the time lapse between the "Vote which character to return" Twitter post back in 2020, and the announcement of its development in 2025, I wouldn't mind waiting, since I started playing Amorous 1 in 2019, without knowing it's been Developing In Progress since 2014.
