Oh god, 3DS Max flashbacks. This is such a great take on the theme of the jam, and really captures the feeling of trying to frantically figure out a tool that you're not super familiar with.
If y'all decide to keep developing this after the jam ends, I'd love to see a version of this where the materials for the template objects are transparent or outlined rather than default opaque, it might make it easier to figure out what goes where in cases where you placed something so poorly that it covers up other elements (not that I did that or anything...). If you want to lean into the "oh crap my boss is going to fire me" vibes, you could also make it so that the "Boss Incoming" alerts change while you're in the middle of placing objects or looking for the next one, would really ratchet the tension up haha.
Great job overall!
