This is such excellent work. As a longtime Cortex GM, I'm thrilled by the prospect of a simple, intuitive, free version that's perfect for teaching and adapting. Well done to the whole team!
Any chance we can get an SVG of the Cortex Lite logo to show our project is built from it? Maybe even something like what was done with Torchlite and allow us to put our own icon crossing over one of the feathers of the Cortex Light logo.
Just a heads-up that there's no mention in the early text about how there's always an effect die (you have to find that particular mention much later in the document).
It's probably because you all know Cortex well that there was this oversight. But as someone who've never played Cortex before, I kept wondering how was I supposed to add two dice and use the last one as the effect if I didn't have a third relevant traits beyond the first two.
Cortex Lite is published under the Cortex community license. (Commercial licenses are available as well). Derivative works can be released for free/pay-what-you-want via the community license, or for profit if you obtain a commercial license from Dire Wolf Digital.

That's an excellent idea, gimme a few minutes…
I'll add this to the downloads on the main page, as well! :D
Love it!
Now I can make my world official. 😃
Awesome! Drop me a DM (here or Cortex or Fedi or whatever) and I'll post a link to it as an update on the Cortex Lite page. :)

Ah thanks, we'll add that to the errata for the next version. :)
Hello and congratulations for the amazing job.
Could you please clarify under what license is Cortex Lite?
Can derivative works be made?
Thank you!

Thanks!
I was looking for the community license to use for my own project and there's just nothing. Anywhere.
Did you just manage to get this out before they shut it down, or what?
The text is gone, but we’ve been told by DWD employees that the previous license still stands and can be used for future works. The gist of it was:
This is amazing, thank you so much Xine team!
A great way to understand Cortex. Even as rules reference sheets.
