I updated the booru.

...

Looking good my man. I can see you put a lot of work into this

Booru user always goes unsung. Thanks for the updates.

This was near the end of last thread, so I'll post it again; Favorite Quote from a princess's card?

Brute, there's a point where you have to go "Fuck it, some people won't understand" rather then trying to make everyone understand.
I had no idea what the fuck a dirider was before I came into towergirls, but i didn't complain that I didn't understand.

I get wanting to attract newbies, and sometimes things are too complicated and need a bit of dumbing down, but too much will push more people away then attract.
I didn't know what half of the princesses were when i first came by, and that intrigue is part of why I stayed.

OK, this went into a longer rant then expected, so I'll just TL;DR here by saying not everyone's going to get everything, and while we shouldn't alienate newbies, we shouldn't alienate ourselves to do so.

31vyk here, got my tablet and working on my chart finally. Problem is, I just can't seem to get good pen pressure in Krita or Photoshop CC. Still, this is my current line weight. I will have something done eventually.

picarto.tv/Eversor

ever is still drawing, pop in and talk to him about it maybe

as promised, also added the new logo

masque princess has pretty niffy one

I think you took the change a bit to seriously user.

Eh, it's more I've seen brute try to make changes like this multiple times, always for this reason, and most of the time it gets reverted.
This was more me finally getting the courage to talk about it as a whole.

aww thanks alot comrade for those kind words. This one is the final gif i'm making involving the cats

I haven't posted real content in a bit,so have a half assed doodle.

I think it depends on the obscurity of it. "Pair of 2s" isn't obscure enough to not get that it's one of the weakest poker hands to bet on.

IIRC, I had made the classes Card Flopper and Boxman. I'm sure on the latter, which is definitely more obscure has not everyone would be familiar with actual occupational terms.

This image makes me start thinking of Rolling Girl.

Now I kinda wanna see a Towergirls Rolling Girl meme animation

Hey guys does someone have some good ideas for a Gen concept (like Dowries, Princess classes, Companions etc.)? Would be amazing because I am at a lack of ideas right now.

I drew a gourd

You know a series has made it if it's got a "Rolling" animation.

Princess Discussion of the Day #76
Manticore Princess

Chimera's rival. From a first glance they can appear pretty similar.

She is the dom rough girl that likes to take over. Comes with free aphrodisiacs though. Venomous side effects but still aphrodisiacs.

Her main feature though is that she has the elusive fourth hole.

I feel she would be pretty effective if she could berserk and poison at the same time. Berserking she needs the extra poison to augment her and let her outlast enemies and poisoner needs berserker's fighting abilities to best apply poisons. Both are probably fine enough on their own.

Like Savage, her lust bonus only prevents negatives for this princess. Not quite as good as Savage's though. One, its going to prevent aphrodisiacs as well so it has a slight negative, two, corks are going to be awkward. Just a joke item.

Oh and Dragon Princess IV's new sprite is just slightly overlapping her quote.

Take a look at the side quests in the OP. Plenty of clever things, like Vilegirls' enslavement/recruiting and 31vyk's carried items. Just think of something you want to add to your princess as a bonus for rescuing/collecting them, and apply it to your whole gen.

Just love the smile you gave her. Whatever it's for, she sure is happy about it.

First of all, thanks for the kind words. Second, no I haven't designed any other princesses yet. I just couldn't find a Dryad Princess, though there's apparently a lot more tree girls going on than I thought (it's a bit of a "Where's Waldo" game with the charts and long lists).

I'd be happy to design more Princesses (or other characters) for TwG if I come across another theme that I'm missing!

Holy hell man, I didn't expect to see a version like this so soon. She's so cute!

As I said, most changes, changing Boxman was definitely a good call, it's not even that well known of a term among gamblers, and you can't get much out of the name. That was too reliant on the person knowing gambling really well.

Cats are great

very cute

Never use Photoshop, since it doesn't have the corrector for the lines. I use SAI and is always better

So who's your favorite princess and why is it sphinx.

also, can someone color this picture

Oh, I agree, it is a better call in the scheme of things.

What am I looking at?

It ain't professional, but here you go.

Protip:
>Layers with Color layer set to Multiply and Brush set to Aliased/Anti-aliasing off
>Trace the edge on the Color layer, then use the fill tool
That said, I'll use this as a quick-color ref.

That was honestly just something I slapped together using the wand and fill tools in paint.net in a couple of minutes. If you don't mind my asking, what would would the settings you recommended for the color layer and brush settings do for it?

I change brush size as I work, but anywhere from 3 to 12, 3 for nooks and crannies, 12 for long segments you just wanna clear. The edge of the circle should always be in the black of the line-work. I use the basic Paint.net Brush settings. Color Layer, full opacity, set to multiply. Lines layer should have a reduced opacity if you have a color reference underneath, like you supplied me. Otherwise, full opacity.

Huh. That's actually really handy to know. Hadn't really experimented much with coloring over images, but now I know how I can do that without making it look like a mess. Thanks, user.

Yeah. The part I usually have trouble with is if I am messing with layers to check things and then forget to change back to the correct Layer. Always make sure you're on the one you wanna be. Anyway, back to adding flats.

I can relate to that all too well. Tends to happen most frequently when I'm tracing over an image to create sets of lines.

Likewise. I'm certainly no artist, but I know how to work a program.
Remember, you are only limited by how well you know the tools you work with.
Gotta go do stuff, but I'll finish when I get back if nobody beats me to it. ;^)

Damn, just a few days late

JoJo reference

All cleaned up.

Great work. If only the hand paws weren't a thing, but that's been around since the start.

You can save all the princesses right

Cute.

If you minmax, yes. But that's no fun to do.

It say that 10 are imprisoned, so technically no i guess

it used to be that Smugh was the only one who could give you a new game plus, but with the addition of the respec crystals new abilities you can reset your run even earlier up to two times

which one is the better game, be honest

SP no contest, even towerfag admitted his “game” wasn’t a good game since he focused more on the porn aspect then the gameplay aspect

Kingdom: Conquest had an okay idea, but fell horribly short when management went haywire and poor decisions were made, ultimately making the experience more niche than it needed to be. Subtitle Pending is fun, but it jams too many mechanics in at once for a clusterfuck of things to remember, causing the learning curve to be a bit rough at the start.

Subtitle Pending is best because it's more innovative while remaining fun.

wish I still had that screenshot of Veeky Forums coming to the conclusion that an overlord has to exist in order to calm the massive goblin harem that naturally grows around him

“I realize your about to strike me down Sir Knight! But first we need to go through a tutorial explaining to you the concepts and economics of ruling a goblin harem!”

>“I realize your about to strike me down Sir Knight! But first we need to go through a tutorial explaining to you the concepts and economics of ruling a goblin harem!”

I realize we're still super rough and working on fixing the balance (we're discussing outright to just reduce damage in future builds because nothing else is working), but are we -really- that level of bad?

actually I was throwing it as a point in your favor, I appreciate a game that trusts you to learn the mechanics, though if what others say is true about the difficulty it may need some tweaks

though im hardly the man that should speak about balance

Fair enough, just making sure. We're trying to figure out ways to smooth it all out mechanically speaking, while still allowing the mash up of JRPG and Grand Strat.

I prefer SP. I've always been more fond of games more story driven and a bit more weight behind the design. KC's gameplay feels like a vending machine, push button receive porn.

My only caveat with SP is the scattered nature of the development. This isn't meant to be bashing towards them, it just feels like many half finished things are put together before former additions and basic foundations are fine-tuned.

But that's the beast of game development. SO is still my preference and has much better potential and passion behind it. Especially passion, that can be seen clear as day through the game's construction

Didn't you guys change the name? Since Towerfag is being shut down?

I'm not a cuckold so SP is better by default but more than that SP also has a unique art style and better mechanics which makes me like it more

Are the fan made princesses from gen 4 and 5 going to make an appearance in this game.

Not the fan made ones. We don't own the rights to them, and even if we did, we have 100 princesses to work with that are Gats' gens I-V.

TL;DR:
>Nope
>But people can put them in themselves with a little time and dedication

This exactly, we'll be adding modding tools to allow folks to expand the maps, add zones, build dungeons, and all sorts of things like that.

whats minmax

In the colloquial sense, ignore most attributes while maxing out others, i.e. max strength zero charisma.

Otherwise, it refers to gaming the system in order to create a character that can win in most situations by maximizing strengths and minimizing weaknesses.

The true question is whether we could make a porn mod to the game

As long as you don't go around selling it and don't, I dunno, go plastering it around the forums we run, we're not going to make any serious effort to stop you. Complete waste of money on our budget obviously. Don't expect us to signal boost it because, well, you know, we're trying to keep this -moderately- clean on our ends due to some folks really interested in investing if this manages to take off (I really wasn't kidding about 'do you guys want to see plushies and merch one day?' the other week when I said how important it is that Towergirls -not- slip into public domain.)

picarto.tv/Eversor

>translation: We'd love to see it but we can't say so in any public manner because we have potential investors who might happen upon these threads or people claiming to Towertop studios would endorse them and we need plausible deniability.

Honestly merch would be badass. I'd love to see a plush sword princess or something.

It's the same reason why the game itslef is also safe for work, since nudity or porn can turn away investors/publishers or be a strange thin in your curriculum

Gimme that Dusk Elf pulshie boi

tfw no lycan and cyclops princess plushie since there not part of gats gen.
why even live

Figurines and plushies? Ok, I dig. I'll sacrifice a porn mod for that and a good game.

Cyclops is totally part of Gats' gens (4th row, 14th place). Instead of Lycan you got Werebeast (4th row, 11th and 12th places) though.

Read between the lines user, they're not saying that they don't want a porn mod made, they're saying that they can't in any way officially endorse it and will have to make at least a token effort to keep it off the areas they directly control.

I NEED a jester princess Statuete.

Did Gats make Mantis princess ?

>Merch
Okay, normally I'm a cheapskate when it comes to my money, never bought a single figurine, shirt, or most any other form of need paraphernalia.

However, I would legit buy some Towergirls merch

Yeah, Mantis princess was from the 'gen 3 voting list that people voted for' along with cyclops and a few others that got adopted into the fan gens. Does anybody still got the sketch from when we voted on which of the 20 or so designs Gats put out would be used for the last princesses of Gen III? Chimera was on there too I think, or was it Manticore?

Anyway, only two princesses aren't of Gats' design, well, one and a half.

Mushroom princess (4th row, 5th place) was made by Unyin who gave it directly to Gats to use however he liked.

Moonborn princess (5th row,10th placement) is derived from the design of Alien Princess, but is Gats' own take on what aliens might look like in the towergirls world to my understanding.

I'm still working on keychains... but the cost is outrageous at the moment for the level of quality I'm personally capable of producing.

What are the prices atm?

If I can get investment capital then I could do a run of 100 at $2.52 a pop... not including shipping costs and storage costs (meaning that I'd probably have to sell them at 7-10 a pop, which feels too much for cheap acrylics).

If I try the method of faux-shrinkidinks, the quality goes down the toilet and it's not worth a penny but I'd definitely have to charge 5 a pop.

Thus, why I want to get the investment stuff going first, then I can make a 100 piece test run of say, the first 20 princesses, or maybe just the first 4 if I can only gather up that much investment capital, and then try to sell them at a Convention locally or maybe in an etsy shop or something.

If I can get serious investment I can go further with them by far, but as long as my test case is Towergirls: The Game (Kingdom Conquest is tainted by the fact people will pay ridiculous amounts for porn thus isn't a good test sample for minimum sales) stays small, it's going to be hard to do anything except risk taking a bank loan out.

I got the voting thing here

there you guys go then, the full list of princesses that he's designed visually.

Etsy is your best bet. Anyways, really hoping to buy one, if not all of them.

This should go in the legacy charts album.

christ how the time flys, that was the one time Gats held a vote. I was so sad that Cyclops didnt win I made my own card of her with stupid ass stats that made no sense

those memories hit me hard

Actually it was the second vote he had, the first vote was a massive goddamn poll to thin out the one word princess concepts everybody spit balled at him down from like what? There were over 50 damn ideas being chucked about, and he took the top ones and then made sketches and held another vote.

oh christ yeah, I dont think I was around for that one but I do remember the big switch from the oldschool charts

if you reset do you keep your stats and items

with the crystal yes, though you dont keep the princesses just the items. Where as Smuhg lets you keep your princesses and items with his New quest +

That'd probably be the best thing to start with, shirts cost ungodly amounts to get, let alone sell. Definetly would be a Kobold keychain.

but if i use Smuhg i keep my stats,items, and princesses

I''ll see about saving up and dumping money into a kobold keychain, use the profits from that to fund the next princess, and the next.

Fuck, maybe I can see about just getting a sample set done of the first 20 princesses, and kickstart this nonsense.

Alright Veeky Forums gonna probably pour my tax savings into this if not a new computer or part of the downpayment for a mortgage (depends on if the landlord will drop his insane price of 400k for a place not worth half that), if I can't save up for it before christmas.

Metal or Acrylic or Plastic? And what price ranges would you guys be willing to pay for something between 1" and 2" in size?

yes you keep everything, but you have to wait to the very end of the run, where as the crystal can be gotten at almost any time but you need to save all the princesses again despite keeping all the items and abilities

Acrylic or metal, would pay up to $20, but would prefer $7.50-15.

when you say end of the run you mean the gen or the game

Meanwhile i'm still polishing the tabletop/rpg i've made. I'm slowly adding creatures, fixing stuff and adding some mechanics such as Fear and Terror.

I've also adapted some Dowries upon the gats new charts from the Videogame (SP)

I've also started to create rewards of Gen 3 Princesses from 0, while trying to maintain a common sense from the little description from the charts.

Examples:


Rabbit Princess:

>IDOL of LORD FRITH:
If placed in a Campsite, Foragers increase their Positive Upkeep by 3.
Rabbit Beastfolk increase their Movement by 1, if within 8 Squares from the idol.

>Lust Gift: El-ahrairah Blessing
If the Knight is Slain, he will reborn as a Rabbit Beastfolk during the next GENERATION.
He will automatically obtain the following perks: Improved Initiative, Quick, and the Small without reducing his Health.
Counts as Necklace.


Vampire Princess:

Dowry 1: Blutkrieger Sword
This Enchanted Long Sword allows the Knight to suffer 1 Direct Damage to obtain the Critical Hit Skill for One Combat Round.
If the Knight already have the Skill, he can increase the chance from 6+ to 5+ instead until he scores a Critical Hit, then the Skill will require a 6+ as usual.
If the Knight is an Undead with a Mind value of 2 or higher, the secondary effect can be used without limitations.
Can not be used by Good Knights.

Dowry 2: Grimmnacht Helmet
The Knight is Immune to Terror and Spells with the (Fear) Descriptor.
The Knight obtains the Darkvision Perk.
Count as headgear.

Lust Gift: Chalice of Blood
When the Knight slain a living Creature, the Chalice fills with some blood.
When the Knight successfully slain 10 Creatures, the Blood from the Chalice can be drink, completely restoring the Knight's Health, but inflicting a -2 to resist Lust Skills or Perks for three Floors.
Can not be used by Good Knights.
Has no effect when killing Constructs, Eldritch, Elementals, Plants, Slimes, Stygian and Undead Creatures.
Can still heal Undeads.
Must be held in the secondary Hand

I say metal, personally, and ~8$, give or take a few bucks.

Whatever is the best investment option for you, I just want a Kobold keychain

>I say metal, personally, and ~8$, give or take a few bucks.
pick one dude, no way he can get a metal keychain set for less than 10, I'd be surprised if he could manage under 15.
