 # `portable` branch
 This branch takes a different direction to the `accurate` branch, but they still

+share many core philosophies:
 
 ## Goal
-The goal is still to accurately-reproduce Cave Story's original code, but
-modified to the extent that it is easy to port to other platforms. This branch
-is intended for purists that don't want to use Windows or its deprecated APIs.
+While accurately-reproducing Cave Story's original code is still a priority, the
+main focus of this branch is to port the game to other platforms, while also
+preserving the game the way it was experienced back in 2004.
 
-Notably, this means bugs should still be left intact. However, bugs and other
-coding errors that affect portability should be fixed.
+Essentially, this branch exists to provide a purist Cave Story experience
+without requiring an old Windows XP computer.
 
-For comparison, I believe this branch shares some parallels with the
-Chocolate Doom project, except perhaps more strict. See the link below for their
-list of philosophies which may be applicable here:
