Congratulations, looks awesome.

I had an idea for similar kind of game where you are a wizard and program your own spells. The mechanics would be inspired by how magic works in The Dresden Files[0], where you draw in magical energy, transform it and then use it in some way. Maybe one could connect it with linear logic and programming.

That reminds me of 'Midnight at the Well of Souls' by Jack L. Chalker:

the minecraft mod Psi works just like that https://psi.vazkii.net/
CodeSpells combines magic and programming. It gathered quite a bit of hype early on, but I didn't really follow it's progress since.
