The first contribution standard is clarity. Notes, docs, project pages, and posts should be easy to edit in a normal text editor, easy to review in Git, and direct enough that they actually say what matters.

If you are contributing to GameCult’s public writing, docs, or project pages:

  • prefer direct Markdown edits over editor-locked workflows
  • keep structure obvious through headings and short sections
  • treat overview index.md files as navigation hubs, not placeholders
  • link outward to deeper project-specific homes when that serves readers better
  • write in a direct studio voice instead of narrating the website around the idea

For Aetheria-specific lore, essays, and fiction, the fuller public home is aetheria.gamecult.org.
