Laughing Stonks (GGJ 2024)

A project developed for the 2024 Global Game Jam, created in collaboration with a 3D artist, a game designer, and a sound designer.

A "stealth" game where you play as a character with a laugh meter that gradually fills up — especially in reaction to the unpredictable behavior of NPCs. The challenge is to release laughter only when unobserved, all while completing mundane office tasks.

Main Features

NPCs of different types and behaviors (state-machine driven AI). This variety is achieved using Unity prefab variants and a modular system of events that utilizes Unity Scriptable Objects.

Each NPC can be equipped with probability-based events (triggered at waypoints, see below) or time-based events with a random deviation between a minimum and maximum value.
