Studio guide & Lumina terms
A guide for people who use the creative studio and “Become the hero”. Lumina and seasons you have bought stay available on the same account.
Turn a spark into your own creation
Images, music, video, games, picture books and comics. Try the free examples, choose a format and mood, then generate your own work with AI.
Creation uses Lumina credits. Before generation, you see the output scope and credit cost. Picture books and comics are charged per displayed spread or page, rather than per complete book.
Put a name at the heart of the story
Enter the name you want the story to use, then answer its question in your own words. Your answer shapes the next episode with the same hero and world. Enjoy it yourself, or use a loved one’s name and share the story with them.
- Choose a world. Try episode zero. Experience the opening without signing up. Enter a name and answer the final question.
- Turn your answer into episode one. Save to an account to generate it. Your first episode is free while your allowance is available; daily and lifetime limits apply.
- Read, then decide whether to continue. Season one covers episodes 2–8 with one payment. Check the amount and covered episodes on the purchase screen.
Studio & hero story FAQ
What can I try for free?
Creative examples and “Become the hero” episode zero need no account. Generating episode one requires an account, and its free allowance has daily and lifetime limits. Creating an account does not charge you.
What does a personalized story include?
It is a digital serial with short text shaped by your answer and a scene image. Answer each episode’s question to move to the next. If there is no new image, you can read the text with the world’s setting image. Results vary; a particular result is not guaranteed.
Is a season a subscription? What does it include?
Season one is a one-time purchase to create and read episodes 2–8 for that hero and world. It does not renew automatically. The amount and covered episodes appear before purchase. Completed episodes can be shared by link. Stories membership and Studio Lumina are separate products.
Can I make a story for someone else and give it to them?
Enter the name you want the story to use, then use “Show someone” on a completed episode to send a link. Review the name and content before sharing. An adult must handle registration, purchases and subscription management.
What can someone see through a shared link?
Anyone with the link can read completed episodes in the same series while they are stored, without signing up. Episodes you create later join that series too. The link can be forwarded, so send it only to people you want to show. The hero’s name, the answers you entered and the story text are visible.
Can I return to a story I created?
Sign in with the same account and open Saved projects in the creative studio. New creations are normally stored for 90 days from the start of generation. Use shared links while the work remains available. Studio formats that offer downloads can be saved to your device for longer keeping.
What if generation fails or a purchase has not appeared?
If no output can be delivered, reserved Lumina or the applicable free first-episode allowance is returned automatically. If access has not appeared after payment, use the purchase check again before paying a second time. Contact the operator if the issue remains.
How do Stories membership, seasons and Lumina differ?
Stories membership covers eligible continuations of published stories and other included reading features. A season is a one-time purchase to create continuations of your own hero’s series. Lumina credits pay for creations such as images, music and games. Existing Lumina can also continue a hero’s story. Check each product’s scope before purchasing.

New creations are accessible in your account for 90 days from the start of generation. Download anything you want to keep longer. Generation can take time, and capacity limits may apply. AI results vary; a particular result or exclusive rights are not guaranteed.
