Welcome new guests and members! You might not know exactly what is going on here, so I will attempt to explain some stuff simply here.
Start it off, what is Project Cyden?
Project Cyden is an open source world building exercise. Anyone is allowed to contribute to the world and everyone is allowed to pull from the resources here to make their own additions. The way I have been explaining it is "You think there should be a ramen shop on the 50th floor of a building in the background of a drawing? then there is now. So long as you are willing to create it."
What is the setting of this world?
Its based on Earth a few hundred years in the future. Technology has advanced a lot, Society has grown, Space is being explored, and new options are available for all peoples. But morality is at an all time low, there are gangs and cults present everywhere, corruption is in every level of politics, and if you aren't rich you are probably in a very bad place in the supercities. If you want a more simple version, look up Cyberpunk and add in a bit of dystopia. You now have Cyden.
Am I allowed to contribute?
Of course! Everyone is allowed. We just ask that you read the general rules and setting pages to familiarize yourself with it first. You can even browse the art pages to see what other people have done to get inspired! To contribute, its as simple as making an account on here and posting your own artwork, stories, or characters to the proper threads.
Where can I find that stuff?
The "Getting Started" folder would be a great place to start. It will have more detailed descriptions of what is set into the cannon of the world, as well as links to example pieces and such.
