First day — engineering

Shared install: Today is your first day. Work from the Perforce depot (client GL_Main_PC). Do the required block. Stop there unless a row below matches your current task.

Your assignment

Read the assignment from your lead, then open Engineering home and use its Systems, Authoring, or Reference section for the area you are changing. Read only the pages needed for that work.

When you need the original design wording, open Design source documents (Google Drive). If a Drive document and the wiki disagree, raise it with your lead instead of changing the wiki silently.

Required

  1. Rephrased MCP — install, /onboard. Ask your lead for this week's assignment, then tell the agent what you are working on.
  2. VS and Unreal — UE 5.8, VS 2026.
  3. Build — Rephrased.sln, Development Editor | Win64, F5. Open LV_2ndPlayable, Play, then duplicate it into Content/Developers/<Discipline>/<Name>/LV_<Name>_Playground for personal experiments. Failures: Saved/Logs/.

Weekly workflow

Talk normally in your coding agent. Rephrased MCP runs the rest (sync latest, start task, convention check, team review, devlog, submit). You compile and PIE. No extra steps.

Assignment from your lead → open the relevant system or authoring page on Engineering home → get latest → work → you compile → you PIE → say you are done → agent reviews and submits.

If you need it

Skip any row that is not this week's task.

Need Read
The pages for your system or content area Engineering home
Original design wording Design source documents
Unreal C++ C++ extensions · Actors, components, subsystems
Content / Blueprints Project layout · Blueprints in Rephrased · Data assets
A rune Making runes · Rune authoring · Adding a rune
Design context GDD · Pillars and loop
Look / VFX Visual direction
A shipping system Only that page on Engineering home

Ask your lead if you are unsure.

Personal playground map

After LV_2ndPlayable works in Play In Editor, duplicate it into your own developer folder before experimenting. Use Content/Developers/<Discipline>/<Name>/LV_<Name>_Playground. Your playground is for learning, reproduction steps, and local experiments. Do not edit the shared playable or PreProShowcase directly unless your assigned task is to update it.
