Planet Port

This is my first game jam, and I've created the jankiest thing I've ever done in Unreal. It's closer to a tech demo than anything playable. Have mercy on the PCs of whoever downloads this, I am submitting this to say that I've done it.

This was more of a learning project as I've never used Blender or some of Unreal's cutting edge tools, I had major performance issues that took up a lot of my time which led to everything being unfinished (and still performing bad). I've learned a lot, next time I should be able to make (mostly) everything from scratch.

How to "Play":

• Start the game from the menu. I do recommend keeping Lumen enabled or it will be very dark.
• The market-board is where you buy materials and commodities, and also start a "day" of sales. Commodities are for trading, however the market simulation is not very well done.
• Materials are put into machines to produce various items. There is a bug in the physics engine that will tank your frame rate whenever these are being moved. If you'd still like to try it, the simplest way is to find a material you'd like to make (bars/ingots are smelted ore, powder/chunks are macerated rocks) and spawn ONE. Dump it into the machine of your choice, and you can put it in the crate next to the market-board to add it to your stock so it can be sold.

Controls:
WASD - Move
Shift - Sprint
Space - Jump
Left Click/Right Click - Grab & Throw
Scroll Wheel - Grab Distance (when holding item)

P.S. sorry if you still decide to download this, I've tried to slim down the build as much as possible but having a 4 hour+ packaging time on this time frame leaves little margin for improvement.

Materials Used

Textures and furniture models are from marketplace packs.
