LangTime Studio is a streaming conlanging show where David J. Peterson and Jesse Sams collaboratively develop the evolving language of rabbits in a game world.
The conflict in the game arises when a substance resurfaces that allows animals to develop human-like characteristics, and different animal groups hold different beliefs about how it should be treated.
Deep dives
The concept of Langtime Studio
Langtime Studio is a streaming conlanging show where David J. Peterson and Jesse Sams work together to create languages. The show was born out of David's desire to collaborate with Jesse and create a language that wasn't covered by an NDA. The rabbits are one of the groups in the game world they are developing, and they believe that nature should be protected from anyone trying to extract a substance that causes them to develop human-like characteristics. The rabbits prioritize the preservation of nature and their language is evolving along with their civilization.
The process of language creation
The show involves live-streamed sessions where David and Jesse work on developing the rabbit language. They have been focusing on the phonology and sound changes of the language. David hired Jesse to work on a show called Motherland Fort Salem, and their collaboration sparked the idea for Langtime Studio. The show allows them to work on the fun and creative process of creating languages, with the support and input of their patrons who provide suggestions and vote on certain aspects of the language.
Future plans and expansion
The rabbits are part of a larger game world that includes other animals like cats, dogs, mice, and possibly possums. The conflict in the game arises when the substance that allows animals to develop human-like characteristics resurfaces. Each group has different beliefs about what should be done with the substance. In the future, Langtime Studio plans to work on other languages for the different animal groups and expand the game world with expansion packs. They also welcome essay contributions from conlangers about their own language creation processes.
