Epic Horse QuestJavascript Video Game2023 Epic Horse Quest is a video game made with Javascript whose interface is based on the avoidance arcade genre. This project spanned across three assignments for Coding Concepts, and with each rendition, I experimented with replayability and engagement to create an experience through visuals and sound. The conceptual goal for this work was to create an aesthetically consistent, challenging, and humorous video game, achieved through the refinement of visuals, world-building, and improved gameplay through controls. While working on this project, I was motivated to refine Epic Horse Quest into a more polished video game, drawing inspiration from “realistic,” highly pixelated game graphics, and focusing on further developing a humorous narrative through supporting text and unconventional imagery. One work that inspired the gameplay was the Journey of the Prairie King (Stardew Valley Minigame), due to how the minigame progressed, the addition of power ups, and a similar enemy shooting style to one I was trying to achieve. I decided to continue developing Epic Horse Quest because I was interested in exploring game design/development, and I was invested in making my game as developed and enjoyable to play as possible.
