 # RenJava
 Visual novel game engine based off of [RenPy](https://www.renpy.org/) built with [JavaFX](https://openjfx.io/).
 
+This is a passion project, which means I'm learning as I go. There are a lot of mistakes and bugs which will be addressed eventually. This is not meant for production.

+## Compile from source
+There are different branches you can clone from; Master, Experimental. Master is the stable branch, this is the recommended branch for cloning.
+
+Experimental is the branch that has the latest untested features and bug fixes. Once the development branch is tested, it is merged with Master and a new build is released.
+- Download RenJava via clone or file.
+- Extract file and open RenJava with any IDE that supports Maven.
+- Run `mvn clean install` from the IDE or command line inside the root directory.

 ## Notice
 As of build 0.1.x, the project is just a demo. You will not be able to create a fully functional game with the current state of the framework.
 I recommend using the experimental branch over the master branch when testing and demoing the framework. Thank you for using and exploring RenJava.
 
 ### Limitations
-The framework only supports imagery. You will not be able to add sprites or other forms of 2D animation/modeling. Video scenes are currently in the works, and you will soon be able to add pre-rendered animations in a form of a video file. This limitation is not permanent but there are no future plans to currently add support for integrated animations.

 The framework will never support 3D games. 
 
-### MacOS
-I will be dropping any future plans for mac. I do not own any apple products nor will that change in the near or far future. The framework should still work for mac but there will be no automatic installation for the os. You will have to manually download and install jdk then execute the jar file via the java command.
-`java -jar RenJavaGame.jar'. You will still be able to use and test on Mac but most functionality may not work.
-
 ### Linux
 Linux has entered testing and as of now the only distro that will see support is Debian. If you are wanting to use or support other distros, the framework should still work. Similar to mac, you will need to manually download the proper java version and use the java command.
 Linux will have two installation methods `install_linux_64.sh` and `install_linux_local_64`. The `start_linux.sh` will automatically install java if it's not already installed, and launch the game.

 ### Other/Un-supported OS
-To re-iterate, you can use the framework on most systems, as long as that system can render a desktop. The system will also have to support Java 21.
+You can use the framework on most systems, as long as that system can render a desktop. The system will also have to support Java 21.
 You can view all supported systems on [amazon-corretto](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-21-ug/downloads-list.html) which is the JDK I use.
 
 Warning: RenJava is primarily tested on Windows/Linux (Debian). Just because the system can support the framework, does not mean the framework is optimized or functional on that system.
 If you have issues you will have to figure it out on your own. All of this is subjected to change and more os's may get full support later.
 
-## Updating
+## Updating Framework
 When updating to a newer version of RenJava it is recommended to delete default 'settings.properties' and 'build.info'.
 These files are located in the 'renjava' folder for your game directory. These files need to be reset before you distribute the game.
 RenJava will automatically re-create these files with newer settings and info.

-## Updating Application
-If a game has an update please delete the previous version. Make sure to transfer your saves before doing so. This is to prevent malicious attacks that come with having an old JDK installed onto your pc.
-Alternative you can just delete the jdk folder in the old version. As an author you should post this warning to your community for every update.
