Forest Legend

The allure of a 2D Action RPG is nearly universal among gaming enthusiasts. Within this popular genre, we offer a distinctive adventure in the form of "Forest Legend." In this immersive game, players assume the role of an extraordinary hero fox named Casper, embarking on a journey of self-discovery within the vast, varied wilderness of his upbringing. The path to enlightenment is not without obstacles, as you will encounter a host of wild adversaries including bats, porcupines, and hornets. Arming yourself with your trusty sword, you must fend off these creatures to proceed on your quest. The world of "Forest Legend" is a tapestry of adventure and introspection, where overcoming external challenges is intrinsically linked with internal growth and discovery.

Responsibilities and Contributions:

• Character Spawning: I engineered the system for both player and enemy spawning, thereby establishing the fundamental dynamics of player and enemy interactions.

• User Interface/User Experience: I was responsible for the programming and development of the UI/UX, specifically focusing on the creation of the home screen, to ensure a seamless and intuitive user experience.

• Artificial Intelligence: I developed a 'smart' AI for the enemy characters, programmed to track the player when in proximity and disengage when the player moves further away, thereby adding a layer of complexity to the game.

• Balancing Player Power: I implemented a life points and stamina bar system to ensure a balanced and fair gameplay experience, preventing the player character from becoming overpowered.

• Animation Effects: I crafted and implemented animation effects that are triggered after a player destroys an enemy or interacts with the environment, enhancing the game's visual appeal and sense of realism.
