An application is for fans of a certain video game franchise that involves having your own island and maintaining it as well as its inhabitants. It allows a user to create a profile, login, log their current villagers, move villagers to another island, leave comments as to their actions and interactions with the islanders, and if that villagers isn't working out remove them from their island. The application is launched at https://gullivarrrs-travels.herokuapp.com. The application utilizes a React Front-end, a Full-stack MERN layout, a scalable MongoDB backend, User Authentication, as well as an Express.js and Node.js server.
