PARANORMAL ACTIVITIES
   

PLAY HERE

Year:
2023
Year:
2023
Normal Activities was created as part of the GMTK Game Jam 2023 under the theme Roles Reversed. Jonas and Yannick had set themselves the goal of building the largest possible team for this jam, experimenting with how big a game jam team can be before it can no longer function. For this reason, they both took on a management role for the jam and assigned each team member a fixed role that they were expected to stick to for the duration of the jam. In the end, the team had 24 members.
My Role:
My role during the jam was game design. As there were also people dedicated to programming, I was asked not to work in that department. Unfortunately, I couldn't take part in the ideation for personal reasons, but during the development I made sure that there was a playable prototype as soon as possible and that the intro to the game was tutorialised. I helped with git issues and the direction of the main mechanics.

Result:
In Normal Activities, you play as a ghost who wants to remain unrecognised against the wishes of the haunted house in which he lives. The house is visited by ghost hunters who are investigating paranormal phenomena. The player must try to stop the paranormal activity in the house and cover it up before it is noticed by one of the ghost hunters. After all, the ghost just wants to be left alone, and once word gets out that the house is haunted, new guests will arrive every day. A horror.
