It's really up to you! One option is to provide a link to folding instructions (like the one we have in the jam resources) on the itch page for your project :)

The plot hook thing is an extra challenge, so not necessary!

Really, what it's asking is to provide 3 (or more) ideas that GMs can use to spring off into their own games or campaigns. How you include them in the setting alongside how much detail is up to you! For example, I could have a section in the setting that is titled Plot Hooks with bullet points like "Grandma Sherry says that her cat went missing, but was last seen at Henley Lake." Or, you can weave it into the actual writing of the setting.

We're very loose with the definition of setting material here, so as long as setting material is prominently featured within the 8 pages then the inclusion of mechanics is totally fine

Thanks so much for playing! 

"Drag your heart through the mud and spit on it" is exactly what I was aiming for, so I'm really glad it landed like that :D

Wow, y'all have absolutely blown me away - thank you so much for bringing your hearts and imaginations together to tell this story with my game

Thank you so much for playing! It always means so much to hear that people enjoyed the games I make, and I look forward to seeing it whenever the episode releases 

Thank you so much for playing Before the Tower Falls and for sharing your playthrough! What a wondrous and haunting experience you described

Hi there! We usually do one community copy per purchased copy, but I'm looking to do an extra round near the holidays, so keep an eye out :)

Thank you so much for playing the game and sharing this video! I'm only a few minutes into the video, and I'm already quite touched by Venture's story. Recommendations and playthroughs like this are some of the most treasured things a game designer can ask for, so your kind words is so appreciated.

Thanks so much for playing, super glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much for the kind words! So glad that we could make your first solo journaling TTRPG experience a good one

Oh wow, that's awesome to hear that you've been inspired to make tools for Arcon. Yes absolutely, just please credit Arcon (and both Kienna and Jason) for the inspiration, and just make it clear that it's not official content for the setting. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Ahh, thank you so much RK! It always makes me so happy to see you play the game and my heart is so warm with these kind words <3

Thanks so much for the close read and feedback! It's a lot of really good stuff to think about. 

My personal intention with writing the violence and crime section is that there's a lot of different reasons/contexts that violence is occurring within Arcon. Some of it comes from groups struggling for power with each other (like the gangs/cliques that want to establish their ground and authority), some of it comes from the fact that the only vehicle to express the frustration with their circumstances, and overall, it comes from a world where things are terrible and the system tends to encourage it. 

I did intend to make it so that violence in Arcon isn't within the good/bad dichotomy, especially to avoid the idea that it's the individual's fault and not the system of oppression that makes people the victim of these circumstances, and also to make sure we weren't condemning the "punk" side of things. It's probably something for us to revisit in the next version with 2.0 to make it more clear what our intentions were!

Ahh, thank you so much for getting us over our goal!

Entirely on itchio, I haven't been able to find a way for us to change it unfortunately! It's been a frustration personally as well

Thank you so much for the kind words and praise! I'm so glad that Arcon is doing as intended as a refreshing new version of cyberpunk

We didn't design for any system in mind, but all of those sound about right. We also highly recommend CBR+PNK! 

Thank you so much for the kind words and re-purchasing, so glad you enjoyed the game!

Wow, thank you for such an in-depth review! I'm really glad to hear that it works for other relationships (I kept "love" to be fairly open whether it meant romantic/platonic/whatever else), and it's super cool to hear it also works for more players too

Thank you for the thoughtful review of Come Home!

Ahh thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the game
