LINKD: Public Serial Teleporter Network

LINKD: Public Serial Teleporter Network is a game made in just 7 days for the 2023 Epic MegaJam!  The theme of the jam was 'Antiquated Future'. 

This project also took up the challenge category of 'Use It or Lose It' where we were challenged with making the game using only a single, 4-channel texture map for our assets. We ended up using a 2-channel texture map instead! The UI may look pixelated as a result of working within the limitations of this challenge on a time crunch, so please be aware.

---------------

LINKD approaches the 'Antiquated Future' theme by imagining the first tech company to offer publicly available teleportation, however the technology is operated like a telephone switchboard and the two locations must be manually connected by a physical cable.

As a new hire for this cable management position, you are tasked with taking in incoming requests from our consumers and help connect their teleport to the correct location. Try not to fall behind as the requests will keep piling up and eventually overwhelm you! Also make sure to keep requests labelled as Urgent at top priority, we don't want any of our important users to have a bad time now do we? 

--- Controls

The only company approved control scheme is WASD to move, moving the mouse to control the camera, and left click to interact with objects. If we hit our performance goals for this fiscal quarter we'll expand into gamepad territory.
