(As of Februrary of 2016, some of the information, either in part or in full, is outdated. Development of Tower Girls has continued on /tg/.)


Towergirls (or Tower Girls) is a [[CYOA|Choose-Your-Own-Adventure]] chart detailing a variety of [[waifu]]s alongside the question of which one(s) the reader would save. It originated from a 'creative' [[/v/]] thread where posters would fill in a meme, the subject of which was a knight bursting through a door with the text "Princess, I've come for you!". The subsequent panel would then be open to the interpretation of the artist. This meme is believed by some to have been inspired by the oft-posted comic depicting a knight rescuing a princess who is revealed to be a kobold. The artist for every major iteration of the Towergirls CYOA thus far (not including 'fan general', 'wyvern/horse princess' edits, etc.) is IP owner "Gats" who is seen a the keeper of [[canon]] for Towergirls (although he has stated repeatedly that the chart and perks are more suggestion than canon and can be interpreted any way you see fit) and better known for his work on [[/d/|Corruption of Champions]]. The person behind the "Princess, I've come for you!" meme is unknown. Furthermore, a Tumblr user called "Bupi" began a project to craft a figurine of each princess while a user called "FicFicPonyFic" created alternate costume variants.

So far there 3 generations of Gats lewd chart and he has shown no interest of making further editions, the gameplay elements of these charts are logical enough and will not be explained here. There are also at least 2 non-lewd charts: one by Gats, one by an unknown artist. As well as a great many fan princesses and even knights to choose from. A great deal of fanon, sometimes conflicting is collected here, feel free to add your own. Art of the princesses and the occasional knight can be found on the booru, discussion of princesses and the various ongoing fanworks can be found in /tg/'s Towergirls threads and on 8chan's dedicated /twgrl/ board.
So far there have been four versions of Gats charts with the most recent v4 still being a work in progress.  The gameplay elements of these charts are logical enough and will not be explained here. There are also non-lewd charts, one by an unknown artist, and the aformentioned Gats v4. A great many fan princesses and even knights have been made to choose from. As you might imagine, there is a lot of fanon, sometimes conflicting with what is collected here.  Feel free to add your own. Art of the princesses and the occasional knight can be found on the booru, discussion of princesses and the various ongoing fanworks can be found in /tg/'s Towergirls threads as well as /ic/ and /trash/.


Within the context of the chart, the "player" is a brave knight who rescues princesses/princes/generals who marry him/her. A large (and constantly growing thanks to a template) list is given, as well as rules for that list. Each option has their own Love, Lust, Wealth, and Power stats along with Likes and Dislikes. Each also has one or more Dowry options, most of which increase the appeal of that princess (compatible sexual organs, the ability to reciprocate emotion, the ability to live comfortably in the princess's environment, and so on). Some however have idols or companions instead of Dowries. Many in earlier incarnations have an army option, although this comes as both an advantage and a disadvantage at times (for example Ant Princess is very poor but has a very large army but they are loyal to her instead of you, or Fish Princess whose army cannot fight on land) although later versions dropped this.

For those who claim the concept is sexist, one must remember that the game is essentially the often-praised romantic subplot of games such as Mass Effect and Dragon Age but with all the pesky non-romance content removed. Also any animation. For now. Those who want to claim sexism are free to [[rule 63]] anything on the chart using one of the items a Generation I Princess bestows. <br/>

Technically speaking there is also a non-"harem builder" element as there is suggested risk in rescuing, empire-building, and actually getting romantic attachment between you and the princess(es). However, this is left to your imagination currently.

In continual development.  
In continual development. Gat's most recent version is v4, which takes a much more detailed look at the world and setting of Corona.  Taking a departure from the old format, each new chart focuses on a single princess and their respective kingdom.  The first princess chart made for v4 was Witch, appropriately on Halloween of 2018.  [https://imgur.com/a/xSMExqh There's a lot of them now.]

Further fancanon says that an evil Knight will end up with their realm mostly made up of Mimics, the kingdom becoming a hellish landscape of eyes and mouths on every surface with giant pulsating organs replacing trees while a good Knight teaching Mimic to be a proper maiden results in the people under the royal Mimic discovering items that appear overnight which their lives easier, like new bins in their homes that consume waste, elegant and unbreakable chairs which pull themselves out, and even peasants having beautiful mirrors which make pleasant smalltalk about the weather.

Mimic's first Dowry is the Wonder Chest, which has unlimited space for belongings. It may be possible that you can fit a building and amenities inside, providing you with a home away from home and the ability to bring your family/army wherever you go (as long as Mimic #3 behaves herself anyway).

Mimic's second Dowry is the Theater Masks, which when worn switch the fetishes of both parties. This item is a must for any Princess who's fetish is unpleasant to you, ironically including Mimic herself (game-breaking for the fact type 2 Pirate (the mature version) has enjoying anything for BOTH her kinks, allowing you to give one of those to any Princess allowing you to do anything at all you want to make both happy). Disliked things still apply, so giving Skeleton Princess a fetish involving her posterior will result in no nookie (or maybe a secret shameful forbidden fantasy they will masturbate to and feel a little disgusting afterwards for thinking about).

===Dusk Elf Princess (Bodyguard Orc Trio)===
A timid and easily embarrassed elf who wishes to combat the perception that elves are sluts (if Night Elf princess is included in canon, this is probably not working). However, she often gets accidentally caught in sexual situations. Her companions are her bodyguards, a trio of gay orcs who keep their princess safe from lewdness.

===Vampire Princess (The Bat Brides)===
A hot vampire who comes with a group of bat bride familiars for companions. Her wealth bonus causes her companions to act as hostesses so good, then nearly brainwash any guests, while her power bonus allows people to feed the vampire their blood to extend their lifespan, at the cost of eventually becoming a vampire themselves. Her max lust bonus is her own blood, which can turn any female into a loli.

===The Dragon Queen's Lieutenants===
===The Dragon Queen's Lieutenants===
A more recent development in the Towergirls universe, the Dragon Queen now has four lieutenants that serve her every whim. The Dragon Queen, not content with simply taking control in the present (and thus, securing her future), has sent her lieutenants to the "Continent Historia" with one dark mission- alter the events of the past so that they turn in the Dragon Queen's favor.
A more recent developement in the Towergirls universe.  Having learned from her past attempt to destroy the world of Corona, the Dragon Queen has since recruited four lieutenants to serve her. While the actual degree of loyalty for the queen varies wildly among them, they are each immensely powerful and seem more or less content to do her bidding.


==The Dark Sorceress==
1. '''The Dark Sorceress'''- Foremost of the Dragon Queen's lieutenants, the Dark Sorceress is [in fact] one side of the personality of the legendary Human Queen. Determined to leave a lasting impression that would hang about forever, the Human Queen undertook a great pact that saw her divided into three separate beings- the Queen (her violent side, which now features on the latest version of the Human Princess' chart), the Mother (her loving side) and the Mage (who is now the Dark Sorceress). While the first two personalities found life to be pleasant, the Mage found her original form's legacy to be far more impressive than anything that could've come from her. Eventually, she came to loath humanity, culminating in a desire to extinguish her forebear's legacy by any (and, if need be, all) means necessary. She mostly concerns herself with the human races, seeking to unmake the Human Queen's legacy by turning the souls of the heirs irreversibly Undead.

Eventually, she came to loath humanity, culminating in a desire to extinguish her forebear's legacy by any (and, if need be, all) means necessary. Now, her chance for vengeance has come- she has been sent back to the "Era of Humanity" [the origin point for the Crest Princess and the Armor Princess], where she will unmake the Human Queen's legacy by turning the soul of the Human Queen's Heir irreversibly undead, thus damning the Human Queen's lineage to undeath and rewriting history.


==The Mad Necromancer==
2. '''The Mad Necromancer'''- Next of the Dragon Queen's lieutenants, the Mad Necromancer is a spectral being of unknown origin (though rumors persist that he was the fool responsible for unleashing the dark god Pridellius, that he was the former Fairy King driven mad, or a fusion of both) who is hell-bent on finding a way to raise the dead from the fey (which, currently, is impossible!). While his motives and past are shrouded in mystery, he is at least partly responsible for unleashing the hellish corruption called the Haunt upon the world of Corona, and even now seeks to spread it.  His goal ultimately seems to be gleaming secrets into the nature of undeath and determining a method to create fey undead.  Other than that little is known.  How mysterious.

To that end, he has been sent to the "Era of Heroes"- the time that brought the five heroes of old (another development that is recent, and gives more importance to the Beast monuts) and sent the Dragon Queen into shameful hiding. Through his dark work, he intends to not only gain more intelligence on creating a method to make the fey undead, but also stop the five heroes from getting together and collect the Dragon Shards- the broken remains of the Dragon Queen's gemstone horns -before they are taken to countless kingdoms as heirlooms.
 
3. '''The Arcane Puppeteer'''- third of the lieutenants, and easily the closest one to the Dragon Queen (as well as her closest [and only] friend and former nanny), the Arcane Puppeteer was a guardian given to the Dragon Queen, apparently before a cataclysm that ultimately doomed the Dragons to extinction [the princess excluded]. Charged with watching over her before Dragon Queen had even hatched, the two would later work shoulder to shoulder, seeking to recreate the dragon race.  The queen's endless attempts largely ended in failure, though it did create several lesser drake species. In a fit of unbridled fury, the Dragon Queen neglected her failed creations, which came to turn against her and left her for much greener (and decidedly less painful) pastures. Somehow survived and went into dormancy when the Dragon Queen was first defeated.  The Arcane Puppeteer prefers to stick to the shadows, disrupting the kingdoms of Corona via mind control and general magic fuckery.  Given its gift in possession and subterfuge, as well as its complete loyalty to the Queen, any adventurer will be hard-pressed to humble the machine (despite its damaged appearance).
 
4. '''The Beast King'''- last (but certainly not least) of the lieutenants, the Beast King is the last of the Primians- less of a species, and more of a select group of "first beings". As his kind was allowed to transcend the mortal plane the Beast King was charged with preventing the mortal races from succumbing to war's cruel tendencies and thus drowning Corona in an endless tide of bloodshed and misery. At first, his reign was an enlightened one, and the king only wished for Corona to know naught but peace. Ironically, he succeeded, but his unprecedented success would prove to be the greatest failure of all time. For a brief while, the people of Corona lived in harmony, refusing to harm each other. Alas, as the years turned to centuries, the people began to ignore the Beast King's warnings in concern to war and strife, instead opting for independence and turning their greedy eyes towards their neighbor kingdoms and slaying their opponents (real and imagined) without thought. With his "people" gone from this world, the Beast King abandoned the brittle peace that his kind had worked for, instead allowing the mortal races to slay one another- to him, they were already dead. Heartbroken by his success having turned sour, and filled with naught but spite for the kin he had amongst the firsts (who, in his eyes, abandoned him to a Sodom of endless suffering), he instead works to recreate something that, in all honesty, was never real- a "paradise" where all obeyed him. He intends to become king of ALL Corona and will do whatever it takes to make this happen. To that end, he has allied himself with the Dragon Queen, and seeks to rally the beast races back to his service and reshape the world in his own twisted image.  Alas, it is a dream that is doomed to fall apart; contrary to what he believes, the Beast King isn't quite God-King material (though his refusal to accept advising or reason has long since blinded him to that fact), and it's doubtful Dragon Queen would cede that much control over Corona.

Latest revision as of 15:29, 23 June 2023

This article contains PROMOTIONS! Don't say we didn't warn you.


Towergirls (or Tower Girls) is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure chart detailing a variety of waifus alongside the question of which one(s) the reader would save. It originated from a 'creative' /v/ thread where posters would fill in a meme, the subject of which was a knight bursting through a door with the text "Princess, I've come for you!". The subsequent panel would then be open to the interpretation of the artist. This meme is believed by some to have been inspired by the oft-posted comic depicting a knight rescuing a princess who is revealed to be a kobold. The artist for every major iteration of the Towergirls CYOA thus far (not including 'fan general', 'wyvern/horse princess' edits, etc.) is IP owner "Gats" who is seen a the keeper of canon for Towergirls (although he has stated repeatedly that the chart and perks are more suggestion than canon and can be interpreted any way you see fit) and better known for his work on Corruption of Champions. The person behind the "Princess, I've come for you!" meme is unknown. Furthermore, a Tumblr user called "Bupi" began a project to craft a figurine of each princess while a user called "FicFicPonyFic" created alternate costume variants.

So far there have been four versions of Gats charts with the most recent v4 still being a work in progress. The gameplay elements of these charts are logical enough and will not be explained here. There are also non-lewd charts, one by an unknown artist, and the aformentioned Gats v4. A great many fan princesses and even knights have been made to choose from. As you might imagine, there is a lot of fanon, sometimes conflicting with what is collected here. Feel free to add your own. Art of the princesses and the occasional knight can be found on the booru, discussion of princesses and the various ongoing fanworks can be found in /tg/'s Towergirls threads as well as /ic/ and /trash/.

Within the context of the chart, the "player" is a brave knight who rescues princesses/princes/generals who marry him/her. A large (and constantly growing thanks to a template) list is given, as well as rules for that list. Each option has their own Love, Lust, Wealth, and Power stats along with Likes and Dislikes. Each also has one or more Dowry options, most of which increase the appeal of that princess (compatible sexual organs, the ability to reciprocate emotion, the ability to live comfortably in the princess's environment, and so on). Some however have idols or companions instead of Dowries. Many in earlier incarnations have an army option, although this comes as both an advantage and a disadvantage at times (for example Ant Princess is very poor but has a very large army but they are loyal to her instead of you, or Fish Princess whose army cannot fight on land) although later versions dropped this.

Players may build a harem, or stick to one or two princesses for maximum benefit. Princesses come in multiple tiers, and knights come in multiple flavors (including "is a girl").

The game has far-reaching popularity, with boards like /co/ and /vg/ adding related Princesses (like Krogan Princess, or McDuck Princess) to their charts. Tumblr has also developed a Towergirls community of artists.

For those who claim the concept is sexist, one must remember that the game is essentially the often-praised romantic subplot of games such as Mass Effect and Dragon Age but with all the pesky non-romance content removed. Also any animation. For now. Those who want to claim sexism are free to rule 63 anything on the chart using one of the items a Generation I Princess bestows. Technically speaking there is also a non-"harem builder" element as there is suggested risk in rescuing, empire-building, and actually getting romantic attachment between you and the princess(es). However, this is left to your imagination currently.

Current Version[edit | edit source]

The three original Generations (60 princesses) by Gats (v1 through v3), the Generations and expansion packs the /tg/ and /twgrl/ threads have made (120 princesses), plus neutral companions and bonus rewards, all done. Once again proving /tg/ gets shit done, at least when somebody with actual talent helps out.

Origin[edit | edit source]

Gats identified a /v/ meme as the direct inspiration for Towergirls, although this itself may have been inspired by an earlier comic.

Gats' Towergirls[edit | edit source]

In continual development. Gat's most recent version is v4, which takes a much more detailed look at the world and setting of Corona. Taking a departure from the old format, each new chart focuses on a single princess and their respective kingdom. The first princess chart made for v4 was Witch, appropriately on Halloween of 2018. There's a lot of them now.

Charts[edit | edit source]

Thought experiments and old charts, from whence all sprang.

OC's[edit | edit source]

The general Generation 1 template.

Princesses come in three different types thus far. Generation I types have two Dowry items granting boons or powers. Generation II have an idol, which has a top and bottom representing the effects of worshiping or renouncing that idol. Generation III have a companion or companions of some kind (although in two cases this is just the princess taking up two spaces) and two bonuses, one awarded to wealthy Knights and one to powerful Knights. All Generations have a Lust Bonus attained for fulfilling their desires and being a dutiful husband. All princesses have a small crown, and appear in a chibi style. The description includes flavor text, the name of their kingdom (note that some share kingdoms), perks and disadvantages, and finally two fetishes/desires and one thing they will not accept or tolerate. All princesses have stats spread out 9 points between Love (their loyalty/maximum emotional connection), Lust (how difficult it is to attain their lust bonus/how dutiful you must be), Wealth, and Power (both representing the territory and military they bring).

Knights have a name (some like Ace have a specific name, others like Lantern Knight have a general name). All Knights have a helmet.

Knights[edit | edit source]

The player character.

Generation I[edit | edit source]

The first generation of princesses are held by the first Dragon Princess, who most likely wants to eat them. You are a young knight on your first quest, armed with a sword and a bag containing an assortment of chocolates shaped like penises (no, you aren't allowed to ask why) and have a magic wagon to carry the damsels formerly in distress with. However it only holds four things (regardless of size or weight) other than yourself and a single dowry belonging to the first princess you save, so you must decide whether to fill each space with a dowry or a princess. Any princesses not rescued will either die or be rescued by other knights, you don't know which unless you persuade Dragon Princess 1 to marry you in which case the remaining princesses simply await rescue. Or starvation. Likely rescue. Dragon Princess 1 sits in a cave with her treasure hoard, while the other princesses are to be found in towers arranged around DP1's tower. A Mimic can also be found imitating princesses within. The rules of princess-rescuing (which is universal to all sapient life) involve them giving their dowry to you, to use as you see fit. After rescue, as you spend time with the princess(es) and indulge in their various desires, you build their "lust" stat and upon maxing it out you receive an item or bonus from them (as this happens after rescuing, the cart is not involved).

As you rescue the princesses, your single (very, very small) fief grows as their (usually small) kingdoms/territories are added to it.

Generation III Rewards[edit | edit source]

Something of an "achievements" page, by your selections in princesses you are eligible for bonuses. Many are just clothes (again, vidya-style achievements) but some are extra powers, even additional Princesses!

Enemies[edit | edit source]

Rivals, bosses, and in-laws

The following are fan creations, and not part of the core game that Gats made. But as Gats said, everything is canon and any of these can be included at the discretion of the player (consider them mods to the main game).

Towergirls: The Game[edit | edit source]

Towergirls: The Game is currently planned to be a JRPG/Grand Strategy Game combo with Visual Novel Elements for Story Telling. As of the writing of this article the Demo Consists of several dungeons, with a separate mode for testing out the strategy and barebones kingdom building elements. Future updates will add in the grand strategy and kingdom building elements as they are coded, tested, and finished. The game plans to cover at least the first Generation's princesses as well as NPCs, Lore from Gat's personal design documents, and a variety of quests to pursue during the dungeon crawling segments. It will start with Gen I and work its way from there, distributing via free downloads.

Game Download, Official Forum, Art/Lore Preview Blog, and Patreon. They also have a public Discord channel.

Gats is currently doing new charts and distributing them through this game.

Towergirls: Kingdom Conquest[edit | edit source]

Towerfag announced work on a game about a month before Towergirls: The Game was announced (T:TG had been in secret production since shortly after the death of Chapter Master, where as T:KC was announced and begun in thread at the same time). At one point, Towerfag tried to claim that Towergirls was public domain, and Gats was forced to contact him and sort things out, as well as start firming up the copyright and licensing. This began a period of 2 years of negotiating through a memorandum of understanding, with Gats assisting with art labor to give the game a more authentic feel. Then, in September of 2017, Towerfag claimed in the towergirls infinity-chan thread that Gats did not own the copyright, and encouraged and stated that other people could make their own for profit games using the designs and likenesses of characters designed by Gats. This forced Gats to terminate their previous agreement and DMCA his Patreon. This lead to a court case that was dismissed without prejudice for reasons of jurisdiction in January 2017, and then the reopening of the case in the district of Northern California (the home of Patreon at the time) a few months later. The case is still on going.

Towerfag remains DMCA'd, but has begun rebranding his property as Princess & Conquest, although the extent of the rebranding is overall low effort, with many of the princesses still very clearly looking like their Towergirls originals.

Groups[edit | edit source]

Because afterall, it's a harem game!
