 A collection of open source games sorted by genre. The projects are at least in beta stage with a code basis that builds
 into an executable demo. Related infos and tips geared toward building the games are collected here. Emphasis is on
-support on Windows, Linux and Android.
+support for Windows, Linux and Android.
 
 Motivation: I want to improve the process of building open source games, maybe even rescuing some lost projects.
 I concentrate on the hardware/software platforms that I have access to.

+## Background
+
+I love open source projects and games and I currently learn about building systems. I see the following benefits of this database
+and further actions I intend to do.
+
+- General information about open source games
+- Possibility of improving build instructions on the projects side (not all projects actually have build instructions)
+- Simplifying builds
+- Adding infrastructure for automatic testing and deploying where not already present
+- Revival of abandoned games that do not build anymore
+- Simplifying dependencies
+- Increasing the number of supported platforms
