NyctoType / BogosorGames
Updated: 2026-09-15

A multithreaded typing battle where players compete through speed and strategy.

NyctoType is a strategic typing game in which you complete typing challenges to move pieces on a board and create new ones. Victory depends not only on typing speed, but also on deciding what to create or move based on each piece's different creation and movement costs, and when to use its abilities. This project was selected as a first-cohort grant project of TGCA (Top Game Creators Academy) and is being developed with support from the program.

Our Goal
Through NyctoType, we aim to help typing games grow into an esport that more people play, watch, and take part in.

How It Plays
Choose one of your pieces and a direction, then enter the displayed text to move it one step. New pieces are also created by selecting them in the console and completing a typing challenge. Send a piece off the opponent's edge of the board to deal damage; the first player to reduce the opponent's health to zero wins.

Features
Piece-specific abilities
Pieces differ in movement cost, creation cost, movement directions, and abilities. Choose your actions around effects such as destroying or pushing opposing pieces and increasing damage.

A first-person view of the board
Face your opponent across a table and battle from a board-game-like perspective. Survey the board to decide where to attack and where to defend.

Separate display and typing languages (planned)
The interface language and the language of the typing challenges are planned to be independently selectable.

Planned for the Full Game
A story mode with roguelite elements is planned: progress through a map of battles and events, acquire and upgrade pieces, build your deck, and take on bosses. Plans for the full game described here do not indicate what is included in individually shared demos.
