What is Princess Maker?
Princess Maker is a series of simulation games created by Gainax.

After defeating the demon horde and being the hero they need but do not deserve, you were ridden with despair as many children are now parentless and homeless. Being a total saint, you asked the King to give you some income to be able to orphan and raise a child. However, unlike PM2, this king is a total cheapskate and only gives you 500 Gold once, as opposed to monthly. Knowing full well that you have been physically incapacitated by the previous events. So now you have no choice but to set your child to slave labor, just so she can have a proper education and life.

Your child will age fast and there is no tutorial in-game. Welcome to parenthood!
Your Daughter
















Your Daughter is "Maria." A war orphan that can be a Princess or a Ruling Queen depending on your parenting skills!

Ruling Queen Strategy
- Save monthly before talking to your daughter. (Before and After Conversation)
- Raise Spirit (Affects the Success Rate of Learning). It is recommended that her Spirit is not < 70.
- Every Month (Talk in a Stern Voice, Spirit + 1 ~ 10). Do not do this when Stress > Spirit.
- Reload the save if it's not +5 or more.
- It is recommended to make her birthday in March 31st to suppress the weight gain.
- Save before going with your schedule. Make her fatigued until the end of the month. You can do this for 2~3 months and then give her a vacation on early next week. If she becomes sick, just reload and change your plan to give her a break.
- Being sick decreases all parameters by 1 per day. Don't let her become sick unless you want to decrease her weight and make her proportions better.

It is entirely possible to become a Ruling Queen without doing any battles.

(This section is still a work in progress and is divided through reputation, errantry and miss kingdom)
Raising Your Daughter's Reputation
Increasing your daughter's reputation can be hard, so here are some tips.

  • Harvest festival is held every October. So make sure to win them! Your Daughter's Reputation will increase by +80 for winning and +50 for being second.
  • Survive your Errantry activities. In the Battle Guide, we detailed how much reputation increases depending on your area.
  • Successfully do your job. All jobs except the sleazy ones increases +1 to your reputation. So make sure to up that Spirit with some Stern speaking!
  • See the people in the castle. They give you reputation.
  • Pass the Promotion exams on Military and Intelligence to gain a title.

Battle and Errantry Guide
Blood Type Effects
  • Type O - The strongest of all the blood types. It does not deal a critical hit on the first attack but damage inflicted is stable. Damage occurs randomly within the range of 1/4 to 1/2 of the enemy's Max HP.
  • Type AB - Strong Blow on first hit. However, your attack will get worse progressively. If your enemy has around 40 HP then you can defeat them in a single blow. Otherwise, it will take a while. However, as you get more experienced, the damage on the first attack might increase to more than a little of the enemy's Max HP. Not sure how the next weaker attacks are calculated.
  • Type A - Same as Type O but not as strong.
  • Type B - The Weakest of all blood types. Avoid at all costs.

Rules of the Battle
  • If enemies appear and a monotonous BGM that sounds like, "Bunka chancha chanchan" and is repeated four times, remember that after the battle with that enemy is over, half a day passes. Sometimes the enemy does not come out and half a day passes.
  • There's three sections for the field:
    The Suburbs
    The Frontier
    The Barbarians(?)
  • The farther you get away, the stronger the enemies get. Which means more EXP.
  • Experience Gained is based on enemy type.
  • If Your Daughter or the enemy escapes, you will get nothing.
  • If Your Daughter loses, she will stay home and nothing will happen.
  • Every single day you survive, your Stamina/Strength (I think) will increase by 1 and Reputation goes up based on where you are:
    The Suburbs +1
    The Frontier +2
    The Barbarians +3

How do I start Battling Monsters?
  • Blood Type should be O.
  • Increase Your Daughter's Stamina and Strength by making her focus on Inn and Woodcutter to save money.
  • Save Money and buy a Long Sword, Iron Helmet and Chainmail.
  • It's OK if you don't have Military training and 0 EXP. Your equipment will handle it.

Map Exploration Tips
- Make as many diagonal movements as possible.
- There's at least Four Items you need to aim when you are on the field. If done correctly, you will be able to get all of them in 10 days.

Harvest Festival - Miss Kingdom
- Focus on Intelligence until 14 years old (10 years old Scrivener, 11~13 Hospital)
- Make sure to win Harvest Festivals.
> Make sure to have over 100 money before the harvest festival (for Bribery)
> Make sure to at least win the God of the Sun and God of the Moon Rewards.
> You need to bribe at least 10 people at God of the Moon.
> In the 7th/8th year, you might with the God of the Star depending on the stats of the rivals.
> Glamour around 0~100 will have an effect on this.

- You need at least 600 Elegance to visit the King (Reputation +48).

@Archeia no diet change option in PM1 ... maybe in the next one but not in 1
@apris you make her work. If you let her rest, she gets fat. Try using more vacation and less rest. I had a very fat girl and changed that for the last 2 years and then she got from around 90ish to 104% in no time! :)

Might want to mention that you can string together Errantry to get more days for exploration.

Additionally, if you follow the path all the way to the end and get to the Castle with at least 1 full day to spare, your daughter returns home early, earns a bonus 50 Rep., and recovers 10 Stress for each day left over.

It's been a while since I played this game so I don't remember much.
apris Sep 8, 2017 @ 2:11am 
Where do you change that? I thought it was only possible in PM2
Archeia  [author] Sep 8, 2017 @ 2:05am 
Did you try changing her diet?
apris Sep 8, 2017 @ 1:18am 
The girl is just getting fatter and fatter and I'm trying to lower her stamina- doesn't work. How to make her lose some weight?
#1 xtra special guy Sep 2, 2017 @ 1:20am 
i wanna report in that you don't need 600 elegance to pay a visit to good ol' mr. king, you can pop in on the dude at around 400 or so. granted, i had around 110-115 rep at the time, so that was also probably a factor.
Zauberin2 Mar 5, 2017 @ 4:41pm 
Got (and will get) the magician category through this formula
Intelligence: Professor title (but not sure if necessary) Exp x2 > Intelligence
in words Exp double the amount of intelligence or higher

Well, i'll check it again, but i'm pretty sure it's a fixed drop by enemy.

you can delete Father's Wife and Devil's Wife as they don't exist as endings in this version.

other fix:

Intelligence (Professor title)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
400+ = Palace Magician (Magical Power)
100+ = the Sorceress (Dark Magic)
50+ = Wizard (Infinite Mana)
0+ = Wandering Wizard (Adventure Time)
