 Hi there
 
-This is currently only for my test codes, maybe, one far day, it will become a small rendering engine.
+This is a very simplistic little game engine, mainly trying to wrap around vulkan and the operating system's windowing, input and audio system.
+This is using the last programming language you will ever need, [Nim](https://nim-lang.org/)
+
+Roadmap
+-------
+
+Still tons to do, but it feels like the worst things (except audio maybe?) are over the hill.
+
+Rendering:
+
+- [x] Vertex attributes, vertex data
+- [x] Shaders (allow for predefined and custom shaders)
+- [x] Uniforms
+- [x] Per-instance vertex attributes (required to be able to draw scene graph)
+- [ ] Textures
+- [ ] Depth buffering
+- [ ] Mipmaps 
+- [ ] Multisampling 
+- [~] Instanced drawing (using it currently but number of instances is hardcoded to 1
+
+Build-system:
+- [x] move all of Makefile to config.nims
+
+Asset handling:
+- [ ] Mesh files (Wavefront OBJ, MTL) (use something from sketchfab for testing, https://sketchfab.com/)
+- [ ] Image files (BMP RGB + BMP Graysscale for transparency)
+- [ ] Audio files (WAV)
+
+Quality improvments:
+
+- [ ] Better scenegraph API
+- [ ] Better rendering pipeline API
+
+Other:
+- [x] Mouse/Keyboard input handling
+  - [x] X11
+  - [x] Win32
+- [ ] Config files ala \*.ini files (use std/parsecfg)
+- [ ] Input-mapping configuration
+- [ ] Audio (Alsa, Windows Waveform API?)
+- [ ] Game controller input handling
+
+Advanced features:
+- [ ] Text rendering
+- [ ] Animation system
+- [ ] Sprite system
+- [ ] Particle system
