+==Scope==
+This is not a game. It is a ''test'', if at all.
+It aims to explore Unreal engine and answer the longstanding question whether Oni can be recreated.
+We will document learned knowledge in hope that it might become actual useful one day for a ''real'' project.
+Test data will be uploaded and linked to. While that data is created, we will try to port it to the always most up to date, stable Unreal engine version.
+==Contributions==
+If you are also interested in Unreal you will be able to fork this project from Git, make changes and create a pull request.
-This is not a game, it is a technical demo at best.
+For the improbable case that this test gets big, actual contributers can be added later avoiding the forking workflow.
-It aims to end the longstanding discussion whether Oni can be recreated within another engine.
-We will document the progress and learned knowledge in hope that it will be useful one day for another project.
+==Tools setup==
+* Create a Git account
+* Install Visual Studio with Git, C++ for games, and Unreal Engine Installer selected (see "individual components" if necessary)
+: However, Git and Unreal Installer can also be installed separately from the internet.
+* Install Git LFS
+* Run Git Bash/CMD and enter <code>git lfs install</code>
+: Since files larger than 100 MB are rejected we need the Large File Storage to store those files on a separate server. It is meant to keep the actual Git repo small.
+: A git repos shouldn't get bigger than 1 GB.

+* Git is a command line tool. For those who like GUIs install the Git Desktop as well.
+* Setup Git Desktop with your Git account data.
+* Create a new repo
+: Initialize with readme
+: Git ignore: Unreal Engine
-Upgrading the project to a newer engine version is theoretically always possible but downgrades are not.
-So for now we work with '''version 4.17'''
+==Project setup==
+* Open Unreal Laucher, install engine, create project in a folder that is also your later repo folder.
+* In opened Unreal Editor, hit Source Control at the top controls.
+* Select Git as Provider. Git path should be found automatically as well as the root of repo, user name, and email.
