*After a lengthy fight with a mob that has 10k+ health*
"Ahh... back to the comfort of the Levancer's Keep."
*Gets swarmed by mobs and dies*
Hello dear readers. Although it pains me deeply to say this, I am here today to deliver the final post of the enchantedForest dev blog. This has been A Grand Journey, and we are finally at its destination. The game now contains 4 major areas, quest dealers, merchants, multiple mob types, a user account system, and... a boss fight.
* spoiler warning *
In the final stage of the game, our protagonist is stripped of their mana supply upon entry, and faces off against the Final Enemy.
And no, this wouldn't be a proper "Alek and Kevin coding session" without some grumbling about ridiculous implementations. Alek whipped up some code to set default quick access items, while I created a boss room for the gigantic "jumpydudeBoss". The background of it is a blurred screenshot of the codebase in Neovim, as it is the editor that we usually code in. Alek's instance of the boss was hanging on to the last threads of its life, with 1hp remaining before he accidentally teleported out of the room. A tragic story, considering how it took 5+ mins of constantly launching fireballs to get to that point (the boss respawns with full health if you leave).
I have to say, this is quite the project.
I'm rather fond of it, and so is Alek (I think). He says it's "almost comparable" to theLand, a game he created back in our sophomore year.
August 31, 2020 marks the end of this summer vacation, the completion of the enchantedForest, and a long (but hopefully temporary) pause to Alek and Kevin coding projects. Also, Hogwarts starts the school year tomorrow. Just sayin'.
Go play the game! Star the repository on Github, read our story, and see for yourself the project that we put so much time and effort into. As always, thanks for hanging out with us!
Signing off for the last time; Byeeeee~

P.S.
Alek says we should add wings. With HJKL controls.
