+## 🔑 Key Features
+
+### 🖥️ Platform Support
+
+While currently Windows-only, the architecture is intentionally modular and extensible. Key systems (such as rendering, input, and resource management) follow interface-driven design, allowing cross-platform implementations to be added over time.
+
+### 🎨 Rendering Engine
+
+Final Engine currently uses a minimal GDI+ software renderer to prioritize accessibility and simplicity. Through interface segregation, the rendering backend is **designed to be extensible**, paving the way for future support for APIs like OpenGL, Vulkan, or DirectX without disrupting existing code.
+
+### ⚙️ Entity-Component-System (ECS) Architecture
+
+Final Engine is built on the ECS paradigm, promoting a clean separation of concerns and a flexible game structure. This pattern enables high-performance systems and easily testable game logic.
+
+> Learn more about ECS [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity_component_system).
+
+### 📦 Effortless Resource Management
+
+Includes a lightweight and intuitive `IResourceManager` system, with plug-and-play support via `ResourceLoaderBase`. It’s easy to register and manage new asset types like textures, audio, and more.
+
+### 🛠️ Desktop Editor *(Work in Progress)*
+
+We're actively developing a desktop editor to streamline game development. This visual tool will help users manage scenes, entities, systems, and resources. A preview build is expected by the end of 2025.
