XP Indie Spotlight: Moonspire Games
“Learn a new language through story-driven quests, cozy exploration, and RPG gameplay.”
Speechbound
Speechbound is an award winning language learning video game developed by Vancouver based edtech-meets-indie studio Moonspire Games. Designed as “Duolingo meets Stardew Valley meets Final Fantasy”, the game blends immersive storytelling, cozy gameplay, and RPG mechanics with real language acquisition.
Players learn vocabulary and grammar naturally through quests, exploration, and mini games tied directly to gameplay.
Speechbound has already been recognized with “Most Innovative Indie Game” and “Best Studio” awards at Game Con Canada, as well as placing #1 in the Rising Tide trailer contest. The team has just launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring the game to full release on Steam next year, with plans to expand to mobile and consoles afterward.
FINALLY a fun language learning GAME!
