zwitschi 01939de9a0 docs: add the memory convention and seed MEMORY.md
AGENTS.md now states that planned work is checkbox items in ROADMAP.md marked
open, in progress, or done, and that discoveries, gotchas, notes, and bugs go to
MEMORY.md for coordination between collaborators. MEMORY.md is seeded with what
this build-up actually cost: the Unreal read-only-home crash, Blender/Blosm
headless workarounds and the spherical projection, the tiled-TIFF DEM trap, the
reference licensing and throttling rules, and the LFS silent-blob trap.

Also stages the concurrently created Unreal project files, and stops per-project
Build/ output (FileOpenOrder logs) from entering the repository.

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

Pre-production. Workstation setup and repository scaffolding are in progress; no engine, content, or geographic data is committed yet. Current state is tracked in ROADMAP.md, and the per-task setup state in Docs/setup.md.

Layout

Path Contents
Game/ Unreal project, configuration, source, game-ready content
Art/ Editable Blender files and original textures
Geo/ Source manifests, permitted geographic data, processing scripts
Tools/ Repeatable import/export helpers
Docs/ Setup, toolchain pins, licensing, release checks

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. The full procedure is in Docs/setup.md.

Licensing

Code licence is an open decision (MIT proposed). Engine, art, and geographic data are licensed separately; see Docs/licensing.md. OSM-derived output carries "© OpenStreetMap contributors".
