The game is still in very active development with four people working part time on this project in different ways. I apologize for the lack of update recently.
Our next step will be to polish up the combat rules and overhaul the story mechanics.
It’s all good, we actually brought on two more team members to work on this but many personal and professional developments set up back. We will absolutely update ya’ll really soon on this
Heyyo, sorry for the lack of updates for a long while as I’ve been busy with a large amount of personal and professional responsibilities (and some turbulent life changes).
Rest assured, this game is still very much being worked on - ESPECIALLY the Austen supplement and some technical writing/editing.
Really sorry about this, I’ll be making an update within the next few months.
Mui surprised me by saying that Lumen Ryder is ultimately not a system about combat, but instead one that uses combat as an expression of personality and identity. And if you dig into the themes, mechanics, and tokusatsu’s history of selling toys to children, I think they’re right.
Yep! Currently, the ashcan is the only accessible part of the game and I have no plans to update it as of now. There will be more content coming soon with more versatile and robust character creation and combat systems.
If you have purchased the BASIC FORM tier and wish to upgrade to a SUPER FORM tier to access the full game when it comes out, I will be setting up another store page for that (seeing as itch.io doesn’t really support pledge changes).
I don't expect this project to be complete soon (it may very well take into next year perhaps, figuring layout is quite a process) however my anticipation is killing me! I can't help but ask how long till the final version?
If I am unable to support this campaign at the moment, are the funded supplements going to be made available at a later date? Because Regency Era Tokusatsu is a crossover I never knew I needed.
I'm curious if it has any rules or concepts related to the early or final Samurai Flamenco plotlines? I enjoyed the littering, trash, umbrella, and earnest heart to heart conflicts though I could see those being outside the scope of the game.
You could definitely pull those off with our Drama phases easily. The character creation process gives you a lot character traits and details to play with and you could honestly play a whole episode doing mundane, slice of life shit before getting deep into the tokusatsu absurdity
I fully took note of the fact that tokusatsu shows are always 60% soap opera before anything else
Nice! Let me know if you have questions before running it or if you need any kinda assistance - esp if you find any part of the beta ashcan rough to parse

Are you able to add more community copies?
Edit: Also, will the supplements come with the default purchase, or do you have to buy the Super Form in order to get the supplements?
Any chance we can have some more community copies?
Just purchased the upgrade. Is it still in Development?
I dont mind waiting, just not sure what I was supposed to get and how :)
Also, im going thorough the rules right now and it's not consistent. Values, names, and some rules dont match up.
I guess that's normal since it's still in dev, right?

We to absolutely plan to look into that once the core manuscript is finalized!
Awesome! I look forward to it.

Won’t leave ya’ll in the dark for long
Any updates friend?
Is this still being made?
Yep! I’ve just posted a progress update post
WOOT! Yours has been so far my favorite adaptation of Lumen rules. I only have the free edition so that's why I might be out of the loop.
Anyway, great news this is ongoing. I seriously can't wait to play it.
that’s hot
That's the Lumen Core at work, not Lumen Ryder

Hey! Amazing game! I have a question though, do players create one ally and one ryder each or they chose in between ryder or ally?
you can choose between Ryder or Ally but there must always be at least one of each in a party of 2 or more players
Thanks for the reply, can't wait to see the final version!!!
Will the upcoming print copies come with a digital copy as well, or would they be separate purchases?
Absolutely, that’s part of the plan in case you need a copy for digital referencing and such
Awesome, glad to hear it!
I'm not super familiar with itch fundraising, is there a deadline? I don't have the money now but when I'm paid I'd like to get the full copy.
So the fun part about itchfunding is that you can still buy the game after it’s over as it will be available on this very store page!
there’s no hard deadline to get the game
Oh cool, thanks!

Nice!! We’ll aim to be finished with Lumen Ryder Core by fall or winter along with hopefully the Capitalites and Austen supplements!
Im sure everyone would want the core rules of Ryder Core first, no rush for the supplements
Keep an eye out! I’ll be releasing a huge chunk of the core rules this month
THIS MONTH!!?? ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ
What happened to the teaser saying Lumen Ryder would come out the 14th of September?
I’m genuinely sorry for this. I had to change the date from the 14th to the 21st but accidentally sent the wrong, unedited email before my flight.
This is all on me, I apologize. Please bear with me for one more week as I get my immigration stuff sorted and finalize the edits to the update.
Hi! Is there any way to purchase this with a card rather than PayPal?
itchio currently only allow payment via Paypal and Stripe, but both can be linked to a card!
Itch supports buying by card, its how I buy everything
If I am unable to support this campaign at the moment, are the funded supplements going to be made available at a later date? Because Regency Era Tokusatsu is a crossover I never knew I needed.
YEP the funded supplements will definitely be available down the road. Hope you’re prepared bc we’re pulling out all the stops for Austen!
Really looking forward to see how this project goes :)
Glad I snagged the last Final Form Level ^-^

This looks awesome! I will definitely try to run it for my friends.

Will do Sam, thank you.
Best of luck on all of your projects, Sam and team!
