[Incomplete] Towergirls Kingdom Conquest

[Towerfag]

Hey ULMFers, I'm a long time lurker but I decided it's time to stand up and present you the game I'm working on since 4 months or so.
It's a 18+ RPG/Strategic game based on the Towergirls pen&paper-like concept (1d4chan.org/wiki/Towergirls).

All the infos are more detailed in the blog blog but I'll give you a short resume:
There are 12~16 factions in a big world map (7 for now, the 8th one is in the making) that can war eachother/conquer the enemies cities/interact in many ways.

The 12 announced faction leaders are:

Human Princess
Slime Princess
Golem Princess
Insect Princess
Skeleton Princess
Desert Princess
Ghost Princess
Goblin Princess (WIP)
Angel Princess
Orc Princess
Holstaur Princess
Dog Princess
Rabbit Princess
Amazon Princess

There is also a great number of NPCs!

Every faction has a princess as their leader, you can strengthen your relation with a reign to influence the decisions of the leader (declare war/ask for peace and other minor ones) or to unlock new interactions with the princess, with the possibility of getting her to join your team, if the situation permits it.
You can decide to help directly (or not) any of the reigns to get in their good eye, fighting for them (or against them), helping them develop their technologies and more!

Got a couple of great artist working on the portraits for the game and on the adult scenes, TheBoogie and NyxonDyx.
Here are some previews, but as of March we're working FASSST!



There are animated adult scenes I made myself, and I'm working to add more of them. Next update will be the big one in that department.
A couple of the early examples:


Finally, if you would like to partecipate just let me know, I'm currently searching for someone capable of doing sprites/tilesets, since the programming part is heavy enough to eat away all my free time.
Thank you!

Just type the links out and remove the www . Then everyone will be able to just copy/paste them into the URL bar.

As I wrote in the last blog post, next update will be about the adult content and the optimization of the game (the world map have really A LOT of things going on via parallel processes).
It would be really useful for me if you could post what kind of performance are you getting!

No Patreon? Impressive

[Towerfag]

Actually...
Patreon is there just if someone wants to tip something, the development of the game will continue until they cut off my electricity!

Is having a Patreon seen as a negative thing around here? Just curious.

TOP KEK i was wondering why not a towergirls game ? glad to see someone picked that idea.

I certainly think so. There is a pretty large divide in those of us that are for patreon and against it.

My line of thinking is this. Would you be attempting to make this game if patreon got you $0 ever? If you can say yes then I applaud you.

However there are a lot of projects that are in my opinion deliberately delaying progress due to patreon.

[Towerfag]

Yeah, no doubt.
As I said, the development doesn't depend on the donations, I plan to use whatever I get via Patreon to hire more people, since this thing is literally eating my time away.

Depends who you ask honestly. On one hand, the majority of developers like it. On the other, a fair number of people here have been burned supporting projects that stall indefinitely trying to scam patreons, have author's that randomly vanish after posting a beta but try to continue collecting, or by projects that get bogged down when developers offer patreons the option of influencing the game (adding scenes and such, which invariably turns it into a futa-fest as well. No clue why the heavy donators always seem to prefer futas).

You forgot about furries!
Still, there is a canon-futa between the 12 faction leaders .

Jokes apart, being a first time ''developer'' , having someone willing to support the project I worked on myself alone would mean that all the nights I spent on it finally payed out, but not in the monetary sense, in the sense that maybe I've succeeded creating something that another person looks forward to.

Of course Patreon is not needed to give me my ''Dev-high''! Hell, even looking at the visit counter of the blog reaching 1k per day is enough to keep me working on it with a smile.
In the end I'm just having a lot of fun.

Hey ULMFers, after doing a couple more animations in the last days I jumped again in the programming of this baby.
From the beginning I wanted a game that was supposed to be played not only once, but I had yet to figure out how with VX Ace.

The idea finally came to me and today I worked on a sort of Reset-everything common event, that will be triggered whenever the player reaches an ending (meaning when a reign reaches his Winning Conditions, Dragon Princess returns to take back her seat and many more).



Still, not everything will be lost upon beginning a new match, every ending (and how you played up to the end of the game) will give you Play Points, divided in 3 categories, namely:

• Bravery
• Lewdness
• Malice

You can easily imagine how to get more points of a kind or another.
During a single playthrough the Player won't be able to spend the ones that he's earning with his actions (by the way, there will be no way to check them before the ending is reached); that will be possible only in the following playthrough.



I already designed several areas that will be accessible only with key items you'll have to buy using Play Points, in a special shop I'll show you another time.
In these areas you will be able to obtain different equipments, view new scenes, there will be new NPCs you will be able to hire and, mind you, you could also be able to get...

A MIGHTY STEED!


This, could be you!

There's only about 5-6 people here that just continually harp on Patreon, 99% of the board is neutral about Patreon or even willingly encourages it if it means better game development and quality.
Also, tip for you to begin with, immediately ignore all of Freeko's posts; he just says the same things about Patreon over and over and very few people here take him seriously; if you want proof of this, http://www.ulmf.org/bbs/showthread.php?t=28257

Honestly, there's only about two Patreons that are objectively, unarguably running their Patreons horribly (ironically two of the most pledged to Patreons as well), so this is where most of the people have been burned from the worst, sadly.

===================

As for the actual game, Towerfag, it looks great; been wondering when someone would take this concept and make a game with it.

I actually have personal contact with the originator of the art of all the original iterations of Towergirls (Gats), was working on him with a project a while back but had to scrap it due to lack of time on both of our parts, but for something like this of his own creation, he might very well be interested in contributing sprites, or tilesets, or whatever else (even maybe just giving his endorsement of it, haha).

PM me if you want me to give him your contact info like Skype and such, or if you want me to talk to him about it, etc.

Ooo, this game looks very interesting! I just started playing.

I have seena few minor "bugs", would you like me to report them?

First, I thank you for your interest, I'm happy you like the premise. I'll take you on your offer and PM you for sure!

You have to! Working alone on a game this 'big' (at least for me) is a hell without anyone doing the dirty works.
