+	Project::OSiRiON is a free space trading and combat simulation under development.
+	Its goal is to create an immersive universe with open gameplay inspired by classic titles such as
 	<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Commander:_Privateer">Privateer</a> and
 	<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freelancer_(video_game)">Freelancer</a>.

-	The game uses a custom engine, written from scratch in C++ and
-	uses portable libraries like SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL and zlib. Physics and collision
-	are implemented using the <a href="http://bulletphysics.org/">Bullet physics library</a>.

-	The basic components are already in place: players are able to visit multiple star systems,
-	buy ships, trade cargo or join a game on a network server, but important features like
-	weapons and player saving are have yet to be implemented.

+<p>
+	The engine is written from scratch in C++ and uses SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL, libjpeg, libpng, zlib
+	and the <a href="http://www.bulletphysics.com/">Bullet physics library</a>. It is
+	a work in progress and evolves with the game as required.
+</p>
+<p>
+	The basic components are already in place: players can start a single-player game,
+	or join a network server. They can purchase a ship and explore the universe and can even earn
+	some cash trading cargo. Other important parts are still missing: games can not be saved and 
+	there are no weapon nor combat features.
+</p>
+<p>
+	The game aims to be fully customizable. Common and easy to edit file formats
+	make it trivial to change most of the game settings and world definitions.
+</p>
+<p>
+	Packages of the latest development build are available for windows and linux.
