Grease Monkey Access

Welcome to the R&D section of the Patreon where you would normally have a number of options available to you in terms of what to tweak around your chosen unit yet we're not able to procure the parts required to do anything further at this time. Instead you'll have to make do with admiring these ryders in a state as vanilla as it comes.

To clarify, the number that appears for each of these units is the bay number and not a unit number, bay 1 is the smallest and is home to the light r...

Early Access Program (Beta) - Update 2021

We're now approaching (although there are still pending matters and therefore there is not a confirmed date just yet) a point where we will looking to release a beta build of the game so far in order to capture some initial feedback.

As such we're now ready to clarify the details of how this particular tier reward will work with Sunrider 4 to set expectations, additional details may be added or amended at a later time:

• Early access to the game will be provided upon the compl...

Captain on the Bridge

Or so we thought, it would be a bit too dangerous to let him into it in the current state. Not to mention a lack of plug socket to power up the equipment doesn't make it a very effective hub for managing the ship.

A Glimpse into Series New Blood - Part Three

For now this will be the final set of concept character revealed at least for the current time so that we can focus on bringing what is already on the table into their usable in game asset form.

While the character profiles aren't quite ready yet to be shared you now have a rare chance in the void this leaves to speculate your own backgrounds for each of these designs to date and how the next entry in the Sunrider series will be playing out. Try not to cause too much chaos with the univ...

Eventual Audience in the Star Palace Throne Room

Its not quite in a state just yet to be suitable for royalty but hopefully with the help of the scaling Asaga twins we'll be able to get it just right for her and her bloodline soon enough.

Soon we'll be able to add interior design and decorating to our list of company skills.

Ryders in Active Play

Ryder Field Repairs

Enterprising carrier captains during the final stages of the Neutral Rim War utilized carriers equipped with catapult launchers to not only accelerate ryders into battle, but to also launch replacement parts and fresh weapons to already deployed ryders to extend their capabilities. The long war between PACT and the Solar Alliance saw the forging of countless top aces who could purge damaged or expended equipment and rearm themselves with supplies lau...

A Glimpse into Series New Blood - Part Two

The plot thickens and more faces also take their place on the centre stage, as for the performance they'll be putting on only time and the stage directions will tell...

Home Base Hanger Maintenance

While it may not feel like a positive in the moment when you see the post battle screen and what you have totalled in terms of the repair bill, just know that it is going towards keeping your units in tip top shape for the next time you need to call on them.

A Glimpse into Series New Blood - Part One

Its time to start touching on a subject a number of you have now expressed eagerness over knowing in that if Sunrider 4 is going to introduce any new characters? 

Yes... yes it will.

Considering the original plan was to introduce Kuushana in The Captain's Return over Liberation Day we're going to count this in these upcoming preview posts but throw in more of her outfits to give a better insight into involvement.

Archangel: Big Shoes to Fill

Initial Idea Prototype Description (Pre-Model)

KINETIC: x1 Phased Tunnel Rifle
A rough replication of the Seraphim's warp rifle, which propels a ballistic at faster than light speeds. The newer model requires a larger power draw, necessitating the usage of the Twin Drive system on the Archangel.

MELEE: x1 Shiroiron Blade
A relic from Ryuvia's long lost past. The Shiroiron Blade was a part of the Archangel's original frame an...

Archangel: Primed for Awakening

While Sola can still only half-awaken to her Ryuvian powers she now has a new ally in that her new ryder is ready to pick up some of the slack to get the most out the potential available, taking her sniper support to new heights. 

Unconventional Approach

Usually the reflex approach to a scene like this would be a desire to protect that smile, that said in Claude's case she certainly knows how to make it feel like the moment in question is at your expense - still it remains strangely uplifting.

Navigating Openings

Despite the downtime it seems the Captain still knows the bests ways of approaching conversations with Icari when she is on the offensive, looks like she'll need to return to training before the final game releases.

Archangel: Covering Fire

There are still more new ryders to come and be introduced into Sunrider 4 with the next of which being the new sniper class piloted by Sola. This ryder pulls on the same technology as the previously mentioned Twin Drive System however this time it factors purely into the offensive output of its weapon systems.

You don't want to be on the receiving end of any ballistics that are fired from this rifle.

On Your Right, The Ryuvia Hangar Showroom

Now you're on the higher end of the market with the Ryuvian offering, the sort of welcome and service where you might even start to think you were a member of the royal family itself.

On Your Left, The Cera Hanger Showroom

A simple decor opting for getting the job done efficiently without the need for bells and whistles, Cera shows us sometimes its just best to get to the point.

The Command Renewal Continues

Its time to lead by example with the on duty poses Ava, don't let the early frustrations show.

Constructing the Ryuvian Lancer

The newest in ship among the Ryuvia fleet through the marriage of both their and Prototype technology. More details around the specifics can be found in the recent lore post.

Checking in on Ryuvia

Queen Asaga di Ryuvia

Having ascended to the throne in her youth upon the murder of her father, King Jaylor, at the hands of the Prototypes, Queen Asaga's girlish naivety is matched only by her incredible talent for combat. The descendant of an ancient bloodline which regularly engineered their own DNA in pursuit of superhuman abilities, a fortunate mutation in her genes gave her the most powerful Awakening in potentially all of human history. The Church of Ryuvia has r...

Medical Certification Required

At least we really hope this is what she's been spending her downtime since the last entry doing, guess we'll keep a trained professional in the background regardless just as a precaution.

Merc with a Blush

The toolkit of a mercenary is an ever evolving one where you have to keep on your toes to catch how they're evolving to the task, that said this must be one of her more deadly techniques when it comes to keeping her fans in line.

Renewing the Chain of Command

Its all very well bringing the cast back together but without the internal law and order we'd be lucky to see this translating into new voyages through the depths of space, the returning First Officer will surely have many challenges ahead of her getting the crew back into operating shape.

A Fresh Opportunity of Righting the Wrongs

Shield of Justice, Improvisation Version

Renovating the Mess Hall

To avoid the plot of the next game descending into just being drama around space adventuring on an empty stomach we're keen to get this up and running nice and early, you can rest assured that we're making sure all the cast get access to regular portions of food [*cough - synthetic].

'ProM' Cancellation: Commentary of Samu - Magalleon, the Eroge Which Never Was

This post is a continuation from the following post earlier in the month.

Additionally considering the timing of this post Happy New Year to those in the future as well as those starting their own preparations for welcoming 2021. Stay safe but have fun in your celebrations and see you on the other side.

Introduction

The year was 2017. It was a time of uncertain...

A New Generation of Warfare

Here's to hoping everyone had an enjoyable and safe Christmas as well as likewise going forwards into your preparations to welcome 2021.

To wind down the year we wanted to offer you a small preview from the first battle mission of Sunrider 4 as well offer an early initial explanation of how combat gameplay is now planned to work, this first mission plays out as a conflict against a group of the pirates and primarily serves as a tutorial to mechanics. 

As you can immediately ...

Welcome to the Renovated Engineering

The new engineering doesn't just stop at the Twin Drive System, there is still plenty of space waiting to be established through this most recent concept update for the background visual (complete with revised Asaga measurements for those of you with an eye for fine detail).

'ProM' Cancellation

Following an internal discussion we're afraid to announce that we've taken the decision to end the future development of ProM.

ProM or its full working title 'Flag of Humanity: Magalleon' (aka. Project Magalleon) was a planned sci-fi VN with theoretical gameplay elements, the term Magalleon refers to what would have been the name of the main cast's Mother Ship.

We plan to leave up all content we've posted to date for conceptualising this project so that it can be ...
