Percussive Maintenance is a single player action adventure game made for the Ludum Dare 60 Game Jam. The theme for the game was "Old Tech", so we decided to create an old destroyed robot who fought other robots using older tech and weapons fashioned out of older machines such as gears, polaroid cameras, and old revolvers. A lot of our focus during this game jam was focused on trying to make satisfying pieces of simple attacking mechanics for future use and some simple assets due to the limited time.

Team Members for this Jam are listed in the credits as well as here: Lead Programmer/Project Manager: Rylynn Hautala Technical Artist: Kieran Hopkins Artist Lead: Alex Demeniuk Programmer: Vivian Van Halsema Programmer/Environment Art: Willow Newbill 3d Artist: Linnea Smith Concepting: Autumn Bailey Music/Sound Effects: Remilia Pellerito

Unfortunately Autumn had to drop pretty early in the jam, hence the difference between here and the credits screen in game, the credits screen was made fairly early to prioritize having a place to show their contributions quickly.

In reflecting on the project as the lead programmer, it has let me learn just how much I should focus on and learn in regards to handling animations in unreal engine as there is a lot to learn there. If this project had a bit more knowledge on animation blueprints and blend spaces in the team, the combat could have begun to reach AAA quality in a relatively quick time frame.

Overall though I am very proud of this project, it's messy in the way you would expect a game jam game to be, but it has pieces of very high quality mechanics and art nested in.

In terms of other attributions, some sound effects, textures, and meshes were used that we didn't make.

Thank you for checking out our project! (Also if you read this far, there is a fun surprise relating to the jam if you can find a key and get into the central building!)
