Adds the five remaining verified south-side buildings to the demo block (6922, 6902, 6838 El Capitan Theatre, 6822 Budget, 6806-6820, 6800 Lee Drug) exported in place from the OSM blockout and staged by the demo builder. Adding neighbours exposed a pre-existing placement bug that could not be seen while the hero stood alone: - UE south is +Y (south sidewalk Y +718..+1447), but the hero facade sat at Y -1450 on the NORTH side and at X -12024..-9420, which is 26 m east of the 6840 footprint (the frontage gap is X -14591..-12082). - The two north-side buildings were on the SOUTH side, because their exporter mirrored Y. Fixes: hero moved to X -13336 / Y +1307, inside its frontage gap; frontage and north buildings export without a Y mirror (the FBX preset already lands Blender -Y south on UE +Y south); player start and demo cameras moved to the north sidewalk looking south; sun raised to pitch -62 so both frontages read instead of the north side going to silhouette. Screenshots re-rendered; the four demo views are marked needs-review because the whole block changed.
Gig Line
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.

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.
