About Moonspire Games

At Moonspire Games, our goal is simple: We want to build the world’s best language-learning video game — Speechbound. After three years in development, our small but mighty edtech indie studio is flipping the script on how people of all ages learn languages. With a deep love for storytelling, learning, and design, we’re creating a game that doesn’t feel like homework, but still delivers real, lasting language skills. Based in Vancouver, Moonspire is led by co-founder Manuel Tausch, a polyglot and Emmy-winning Visual Effects Supervisor who left a successful career in VFX to launch his second startup. Alongside co-founder and Art Director Philipp Amelung, the team brings decades of creative and technical experience into a shared vision: make language learning as fun and memorable as playing your favorite RPG. While Speechbound is still in development, we’re honored that we already achieved the following accomplishments: Traction: • Semi-finalist at Beaver's Den pitch contest (Vancouver Startup Week) • 3+ years in development • 3 game awards including "Most Innovative Indie Game" • public playtest launched on Steam • 5k+ Steam wishlists • 30k+ combined social followers • selected for BC’s innovation showcase at Web Summit 2026 • invited to represent Canada's most innovative games at WePlay Expo Shanghai 2025 Whether you’re a lifelong gamer, an aspiring polyglot, or just curious about what happens when education meets real gameplay, we invite you to be part of the journey.
