+# Cyborg
+
+> `Cyborg` is an absolute nightmare.
+> A twisted factory.
+> A disgusting Enmanglement.
+> A perfect melding of terrifying machinic heartlessness and disappointing human fallacy.
+> A repulsive reaper of all of human consciousness -- but mostly SIGGRAPH presentations.
+> H.R Giger's irreconcilable reality... if H.R. Giger was a computer programmer.
+
+Cyborg is a free-form rendering engine that we mash whatever we feel like into.
+It's a test bed for all sorts of modern rendering technology. Our goal is to take
+techniques and features from modern game engines and reimplement them on our own, for
+the sake of education, performance, and reusability. We wanna *make shit work.*
+
+We also want to give artists a playground for generating all sorts of unique
+3D visuals -- custom shaders, procedurally generated meshes and textures,
+and a focus on *interesting* visuals.
+Realism is a non-goal!
+Make shrooms obsolete.
+Go wild.
+
+Modularity and reusability are important. We wanna be able to unplug certain
+parts of the rendering pipeline, upgrade them, fix them, document them, commit
+them, tag them, etc., then stick them back in in a different place to end up
+with a different resulting image.
+
+Cyborg is licensed under the GPL-3.0. Yes, this does mean that Bevy games using
+Cyborg will be required to make their source code public. But it also means that
+new visuals added to Cyborg will become available to all other developers and
+artists to use. Hopefully, this will expand the collective knowledge of how different
+rendering effects work, and decrease the pressure on graphics programmers to
+reimplement the exact same graphical effects in different games over and over and
+over again. In the future, Cyborg will have a vast variety of visuals in its toolbox,
+gathered from countless programmers and individual projects.
+
+> We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
+> Resistance is futile.

+
+Cyborg is based on [Bevy](https://bevyengine.org/), a "refreshingly simple"
+game engine written in Rust. Bevy provides a lot of useful utilities like
+ECS-based data parallelization and a modular plugin system. Cyborg is integrated
+into the rest of the Bevy ecosystem, and can also work as a replacement Bevy's
+provided rendering engine, giving Bevy games GPU-powered, procedurally-generated
+content and access to modern rendering optimizations.
