More precisely, you don't need to publish the engine source code (to a general public) even if you modified it (GPL), but you must make it available to those you made it available to (and they are at liberty to redistribute it as they wish). Concerning artworks and assets, you will need to provide credit (CC-BY-SA). These are more liberties and restrictions involved - please review the licenses available both in Git and the packaged game.
