WTF? I starved her down to 84 pounds, she could do nothing but lay in bed murmuring of fever, and she still couldn’t fit into the goddamned silk dress. I paid 2000 gold for that fucking dress; now you tell me they can’t alter it to fit someone? Fucking idiot tailors.
hah hah, bitches! i got cube! now, bow to my mastery!
how:
in the forest adventure, there is a hidden place you can go to curled around in the upper right corner. there’s a pool of water there; if you wander around in it, you will fall into a hole.
down the hole there’s a “bandit”. he tries to bribe your daughter into doing the naughty with him. if you refuse, he attacks. if you lose to him, he rapes your daughter and she starts longing for cube (who can’t rescue her from that fight). it’s an assured mairriage to cube after that, unless it’s preempted by the prince.
well, ok. i didn’t actually get cube, but i did copy and paste from a faq! that’s damn well enough work!
I’ve gotten that bandit to come ONCE…and she kicked his ass, even though I tried to throw the fight to get Cube to marry her. ::Sigh:: Stupid weak bandit. If I have her weak enough to lose to him, she doesn’t make it that far… 
(And to the Prince - I had her visit him every year, gotten close to everyone but the Concubine, and the Prince never liked her…reset, chat with the concubine…Royal Wedding.)
Fuckers.
Yes, I downloaded it.
But I don’t get it. It seems you only have enough money for one lesson every so often. She sucks at just about everything she works at, so she hardly ever brings home a paycheck (except the Graveyard - that’s easy work). She runs away every other month or so. I can’t buy her anything or take her on vacation because we’re always broke. She gets her ass kicked on every adventure I send her on.
None of that would bother me … but how the hell do I get other people in the castle to talk to her? Once I made friends with the guard dude, no one else will talk.
I did just figure out the Prince (I think it’s the Prince - the guy that only shows up in January).
Other than that, I’m just putting her in a rut - Lesson - Rest - Work - Rest - Lesson - Rest - Work.
What am I not doing right?
Raise her refinement for the next one, her charisma (I think) for the one after that, her intelligence for the councilor, faith for the archbishop…
BTW, you don’t need to rest her THAT frequently for the lessons or early jobs… Lesson-work-rest-lesson-rest-work-lesson-rest is a useful sequence, I’ve found.
This is probably one of the best finds off the Internet from my years of surfing. Man, I wish somebody make an Americanized version, and just call it Girl, with the counterpart Boy.
actually, since lessons only add a small amount of stress, you can repeat them ad infinitum.
an efficient plan would be…
work-work-rest
work-lesson-rest
repeat ad infinitum.
lesson can be anything you really want, including adventuring.
if it is adventuing, you can follow it by doing a “school-school-school : rest-work-rest : normal cycle” because a good adventure adds so much money.
in the later years i got to a “adventure-school-school : adventure-school-school : adventure-school-rest” cycle.
Actually, I’ve found that tossing my ten year old into the wilderness and telling her to kill for money yields good results as well.
Damn, now she’s pissed at me for setting her up with the dragon kid.

That is my least favorite part of the game. Your daughter has to be about the size of Twiggy’s arm to fit into any of the decent dresses. Why you can’t use your vast wealth to buy her a dress that fits, or at least a corset, is beyond me. Starving her doesn’t do any good – it barely affects her weight but significantly reduces her constitution. I have found that the best way to slim down my little princess is to take her on a vacation to the beach in the summer. She loses weight what with all that swimming around. But watch out for the fall trips to the mountains, she’ll pork right up again.
Just for fun I once tried to raise the fattest daughter possible. I got her up to nearly 200 lbs, and she was only 4’10. She couldn’t wear the pretty dresses, but she was healthy and hearty – she had a Con of 999!

I only got Cube once, by accident, and I didn’t even need to let my poor daughter get molested by bandits. It was one of my first games, and I kept sending her out into the woods before she was strong enough to fight decently. Her butt got kicked again and again, and Cube had to rescue her many times. Then she got sick several times and he took care of her. The next thing I knew, my little angel had married a demon. It was cool.
For all those desperate for money – you can find treasure out in the wilderness, but your daughter really needs to have a job if you want to maintain a steady income. She will suck at just about everything at first, but if you keep her working in one place long enough her stats will improve and she will do a better job. You can also try having her help Cube with the housework until her cooking and cleaning are good enough for her to work at the Inn or Restaurant. But I prefer the farm, at least early on, because it boosts her Strength and Con.
Once your daughter is skillful enough to win prizes at the Harvest Festival you’ll be pretty well off.
Oh, and one last tip for now – stay away from blood types A and AB! They make your daughter get stressed out too easily, and she’ll tend to run away.
My first time, I raised her to be a little Xena. She wound off wandering off to adventure. She could kill anyone, ANYONE, except that war god guy. Which I’ll work on in my next game.
Then, I raised her to be a harlot. heh heh heh. She did look pretty hot in her Harlot gear, though.
And now, it’s off to raise an even BETTER warrior girl.
Damned addictions.
I saw this game in '98-99 while in Taiwan. Every nervous teenage boy had it, and I wanted it desperately. Tragically, I don’t read Chinese.
So now I find a version, in English, smack in the middle of a semester. You bastards.
Will now commence download.
Oh god, I installed it last night and just got finished the third time thru.
My very first time (bday april 07 BT AB) she ended up a S&M QUEEN! GEE, I’m just such a great mom. I went back to a saved game from her 17th year and stayed away from the Cabaret, and she ended up a soldier instead. She married Cube both times. So if you want the bondage chick, go for Xena + cabaret bitch.
Restarted the same char from scratch, (same bday and blood type) and paid more attention to her, sent her to church constantly (she had 0 sin despite killing stuff left and right, and none of the creatures wanted to fight her as her faith was too high) and she ended up the King’s general who married one of her knights. She told me at one point (around age 16) that she wanted to marry me; we didn’t take vacation that year 
A good way to keep her slim n svelte, I found, is to keep her on Normal diet, sell your soul to Lucious the underlord for constitution and work on the farm off and on. Ancient milk dropped by the crows is useful. When she outgrows those darned dragon leggings, slirp one down. Right?
I’m addicted.
I’ve never been able to get the S&M Queen honestly. It’s right up there with Nun and Scholar on the list of ones I keep trying for, and can’t get. ::Sigh:: I’m too good an influence to corrupt her into the S&M Queen, too bad to raise a Nun…what kind of fictional daddy am I?
Damn you! I downloaded and now I am hooked.
You know, this thread might be responsible for the downfall of the SDMB.
My first girl ended up being a farmer’s wife and the Gods yelled at me for raising such a lame daughter. I raised my next one as a warrior. She kicked so much butt! Her defenses were so good that she could win the tournament without even a scratch. I didn’t manage to beat the war God, but I gave him a run for his money. There are no words for how badly I would like to do that.
The funny thing is that I ended up raising a feminist, even in this game. She became a mercenary, recognized as the best fighter- even better than the regular soilders, and she married no-one, content to live out her fame by herself. Of course the Gods didn’t like that much, but they had to admit that my girl kicked butt.
Oh so much fun! I would play now, but computer is busy because my friend came over, saw my computer, and is now hooked on it. Damn you! Damn you!
I checked out the link above, but the game’s not there anymore. Is there another (legal, of course) way to get it (besides emailing that guy)?
Yes it is…it’s the 4th link on the second page of the Anime theme.

Ignore that…just noticed the last bit of the page. Oh, well…
I don’t know whether to curse or bless you for posting that blasted link. I had plans for yesterday. I was going to clean the apartment, then go out to dinner and see “Iron Monkey.” But first, I saw that post and said, "Hey, I have an hour or two to spare. Maybe I’ll try this ‘Princess Maker’ thingie.
Three guesses whether I ever left my computer, or even removed my jammies, yesterday.
Worst yet, the site where I downloaded it clearly has THOUSANDS of neat games I’ve never tried, free for the downloading.
Well, at least I saved money on the movie ticket.
But I haven’t gotten her to do anything interesting yet.
I hate youall.
I want this game and I can’t get it now without e-mailing some guy.
Which I’m too shy to do currently.
Bah.
A pox on all y’alls houses.
