Increase Render Distance

- Increase base draw distance to 5000. - Increase max draw distance to 15000. - Add medium draw distance for certain levels. - Remove cyclorama from depth buffer. - Remove cyclorama requirement from gLevelClearColor. - Change the type of gNumEnemyOfKind to int32_t. - Raise MAX_SUPERTILE_ACTIVE_RANGE to 20. - Change all values in gLevelSuperTileActiveRange to fit in the 8-20 range. - Raise MAX_LIQUID_MESHES to 255. - Use proper copyright symbol in Windows resource file. - Update documentation. Issue jorio#24.

+This is a fork of Pangea Software’s *Bugdom*, updated to run on modern operating systems.
 
-![Bugdom Screenshot](docs/screenshot.webp)
+Forked from [**@jorio**](https://github.com/jorio)’s version, at [jorio/Bugdom](https://github.com/jorio/Bugdom), which is [approved by Pangea Software](https://pangeasoft.net/bug/register.html).
 
-## About this port
+**Download the game for macOS, Windows and Linux here:** <https://github.com/LordNyriox/Bugdom/releases>
 
-Bugdom is a 1999 Macintosh game by Pangea Software. You play as Rollie McFly, a pill bug on a quest to save ladybugs from King Thorax’s iron grip on the Bugdom.
+## About This Fork
 
-The game was bundled with some Mac models of the era. It is probably the most advanced game that uses QuickDraw 3D. Unfortunately, QuickDraw 3D has not been updated past Mac OS 9, so experiencing the game used to require booting a PowerPC Mac into OS 9 — until this port came out.

-After I finished porting [Nanosaur](https://github.com/jorio/Nanosaur), Pangea offered to let me port Bugdom. I was excited to update this gem of a game because it was a childhood favorite of mine.

-This port aims to provide the best way to experience Bugdom today. It introduces some modern comforts (such as support for arbitrary resolutions) and fixes some gameplay bugs. The overall experience is intended to be faithful to the spirit of the original game, so modifications to the game’s design are out of the scope of this project.

[**@jorio**](https://github.com/jorio) and [I](https://github.com/LordNyriox) were both excited to update this gem of a game because it was a childhood favorite of ours.
 
-The first release of this port used a custom fork of [Quesa](https://github.com/jwwalker/Quesa) for rendering. Bugdom has switched to a tailor-made renderer as of version 1.3.1.
+This fork aims to provide the best way to experience *Bugdom* today. It introduces some modern comforts, fixes some gameplay bugs, and [extends the maximum render distance](https://github.com/jorio/Bugdom/issues/24) to *6 times* that of the original game.
