A Linux-first Unreal Engine game about walking and driving through a real city. The first release, 0.1.0, is a walkable exterior demo around 6840 Hollywood Blvd / El Capitan Entertainment Centre, covering the south-side frontage between Highland Avenue and Orange Drive plus the north-side frontage within 50 m of the boulevard.

Status

0.1.0 is in progress. The workstation, engine, geo pipeline and project bootstrap are done and verified; a walkable DemoMap exists with terrain, street, sidewalks, kerbs and the hero façade placed from measured coordinates. Façades are still blockouts, and materials are flat colours — both are planned patches.

Current tasks are in TODO.md and the development plan is in ROADMAP.md; what was learned the hard way is in MEMORY.md.

Layout

Path	Contents
`Game/`	Unreal project, configuration, source, game-ready content
`Art/`	Editable Blender sources, blockouts, terrain, street, hero façade, and a local (uncommitted) reference library
`Geo/`	Source manifests, permitted geographic data, and every geographic tool
`Tools/`	Unreal-side importers, level builders, and reference gathering
`Docs/`	Setup, toolchain pins, build and content pipeline, licensing, release checks
`Screenshots/`	Rendered review captures and their approval state

Getting started

git lfs install    # required: content, images, audio, and geo files are LFS-tracked
git lfs pull
Tools/check-lfs.sh # verifies the lfs filter is active and files are stored as pointers

The engine is installed outside the repository and pinned in Docs/toolchain.md. Setup is in Docs/setup.md; building and the content pipeline are in Docs/build.md.
