We've run polls in the past to evaluate what you, our players, would like to see in the game.  (Less frequently than we probably should, yeah, but still.)  We have a plan for how we would like the story to progress after to so long playing in Towergirls: the Game, but there's been some recent discussion among the dev team and I'd like to take a moment to reevaluate these plans.

Currently, generation 1, we've been assuming that most players would rescue/romance a small handful of princesses- maybe rescue and romance Golem, and then just platonically rescue a few of the other meatbags, for example.  Kingdom management would be encouraged at that point and antagonism would start happening, by both other kingdoms and bad guys (TM).

With this in mind, or even putting that out of mind, how many princesses do you imagine you'd try to rescue in your first real play-through of the game?  Keep in mind we're only planning on adding princess from the first generation for now (the first 20).  As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you might have.

Harem route sounds like a ton of work is all... but I also don't want to just leave many princesses behind. I see I and many brothers are there in the middle two.

I'd try to rescue every princess, then romance then one by one, as far as possible/convenient. I probably wouldn't succeed since that would take more time than I tend to spend on any one game, but I would try.

You forgot the "I'd do a different mix of princess(es) every time I play through until I've had every mathematically plausible combination of romances and friendships to hunt for any hidden interactions between the various possibilities in each state" option.

I'd like the possibility of rescuing all the princesses at some kind of real, tangible cost aside from just "Don't get to romance any of them". Like, I feel that should be possible, but make it less of a "best ending" and more of a "Return to the status quo" route. But onto what people actually care about, I think wither you get multiple romances or not should depend on the princess. Like, a princess like succubus, who has her own harem, or Kobold, who lives in a communal society, should be totally ok with that as long as you aren't going behind their backs, meanwhile Princesses like Goblin, who literally wants you for themselves despite their polymerous society, or Harpy, since there are quite a few monogamous bird species, should not even humor the possibility. Any princesses or romancable NPCs between the two extremes should probably have it vary based on who the other partner would be. Example would be Dwarf getting on fine with Golem, but not exactly being friendly twords Orc or Skeleton. And obviously it should be possible to get some of these pairings without having to make it Polygamious with the knight first. Most obvious example is joining Knight P as a knight rather then a romantic interest and being eachother's wingmen with princesses as you rescue them (Maybe even with a joke paired ending if you manage to have both of you bumble and fuck up every single romance opportunity), but I imagine there will be more opportunities that arise naturally in the writing process, so I won't harp on this point, as it seems like an obvious inclusion. I originally had more, but I've gone on for too long, so I'll just say to summarize that you should probably have the opportunity to rescue a majority of the princess in a general playthrough, and still be able to interact with the ones you don't, even if specifically you romancing them is out of the question.. (Assuming they don't get vored before another knight rescues them or knight princess rescue's herself) (Also thank god this is multiple choice, Fisher kingdom all the way, Bay-be!)

For first play-through, I'd romance one princess, maybe two, but save ALL princesses available to be saved.

I would try to rescue all of them cause Im too nice but would probably end up with the childhood friend character that's in the game.

I'd also try to rescue all of them my first playthrough, or otherwise rescue most of them, and then marry my fav.
