 Thank you for using Prosperon!
 
-Provided are prosperon builds for all available platforms, including SDL3 for each respective one. SDL3 must be present in the same folder as prosperon to run!
+Provided are prosperon builds for all available platforms. Simply run prosperon for your platform in a game folder to play!
 
-To get started, take a dive into the provided example games in the examples folder. Just copy the prosperon executable for your platform, along with its SDL3 library, into any provided example folder, then run it!
-
-NOTE: For MacOS, SDL3 must first be installed with homebrew. After installing homebrew, run `brew install sdl3`. This will be fixed in a future release!

 You can take a look through the docs folder for the prosperon manual to learn all about it. The manual is available on the web at [docs.prosperon.dev](https://docs.prosperon.dev).
