Spell It!

Spell It! - Can I use backspace? - No, you can't. This is Dark Souls, you accept all your inputs.

Hello there,

Be sure to focus the game window, so that your keyboard strokes are correctly captured!

This is my contribution to the Pirate #11 2023 Game Jam. It's written in Rust using the Macroquad library.

Spell It is a game where you cast spells by typing them. It's a proto-dungeon crawler prototype, focusing on the core mechanic. Instead of implementing a costly and unoriginal dungeon crawler movement grid, I just focused on combat stages.

The initial plan was to use speech recognition using CoquiSTT, a deep learning framework for Speech-To-Text, but I decided to reframe the project goal and eventually plug the speech recognition process later.

I know it's quite barren right now (no ambient sounds and art), but please let me know if you got any feedback!
