 # Nuake
-A modern quake-inspired engine.
 
-# Build instructions
+
+# What is it
+Nuake is a game engine written from scratch by myself. It is not meant to be a end-all be-all engine and it is not a quakespasm type engine. This is a game engine that focuses on fast level design iteration that integrates with quake level editing software. If you can create quake maps, you can create Nuake levels. 
+`Warning: It is still very early in development and I dont recommend anyone using this to make their games *yet*. `
