The demo is built from OpenStreetMap data (ODbL 1.0) and needs attribution wherever the derived work is shown. Add it to the running game, not just the documents. - AGigLineHUD (C++): plain AHUD::DrawText in the bottom-left draws '(c) OpenStreetMap contributors' and 'Data (c) OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 - openstreetmap.org/copyright', with a shadow pass for legibility over bright pavement and sky. No UMG widget asset, so a cook cannot drop it through a missing widget reference. - AGigLineGameModeBase: HUDClass = AGigLineHUD, so the credit is on by default. - AGigLineShotActor: screenshots are now requested with the UI shown, so the attribution appears in every capture under Screenshots/ and the obligation is provable in review rather than only described. Docs: THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES records that the string is displayed in-game; Screenshots/README documents the overlay; TODO marks the item done and narrows the remaining ODbL question to the shipped-derivative-database posture.
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.
