Okay so! Since the LUMEN SRD landed I've been tinkering on a The World Ends With You inspired game. And with the launch of the Lux Collective on the horizon, prooobably time to start talking about it

The current (and maybe final) name for it is Vibe Check

⚡️🎶⚡️
It differs from other Lumen-based games in that classes are de-emphasized in favor of equippable powers called Tokens.

Tokens are similar in spirit to pins in TWEWY, and between fights players can swap them around.

Some are pretty standard, others can be a little weirder
Tokens are both powersets and the main loot players can chase and upgrade (most Tokens get stronger as they go up in Tier via upgrading).

Tokens can also take diff forms! Pins, stickers, keychains, tattoos pretty much whatever the player wants for their character.
Outside of Tokens, players can also pickup Looks; different clothing and accessories that give different bonuses.

This is also where the Brands come in! There are seven brands in the game, and for Looks, if you equip enough of the same brand you get a unique set bonus.
The last major tidbit is Flow.

To activate a Token's power, players have to spend Flow which is a shared pool. Flow is generated *during* combat based on the successes of players' actions. You can also get some bonus Flow by comboing off the action of the previous player!
The plan now for Vibe Check is to have a jam edition out in the next couple of weeks for the Lumen Jam going on right now, and then when the Lux Collective launches gonna be attempting to itchfund more content and hopefully some cool art for it!
Definitely check out LUMEN, the LUMEN Jam, and the upcoming Lux Collective! There's some really cool stuff happening here!
