Your Homebrew Game Odyssey Begins Now
Wan Khu is a constructed language, or conlang, that was created by Dave Allwein in 2021. A language taking inspiration from English, Dutch, German as well as Mandarin and Japanese, Wan Khu has been used in several real-world situations.
​
The second story in the book series The Legend of Poo Panties the Cat was translated into Wan Khu. The title is Uuntrvii lunk breerns en Frukhti.
​
​
Additionally, Wan Khu has become the de facto language of the moon. In February 2024, YÄ« tái yóuxì Software Company developed a demo NES / Famicom game for the ByteOff IV development challenge. The game that was developed was an RPG titled HouYi Shot the Suns, a title that was loosely based on several themes relating to the classic Chinese tale.
​
In HouYi Shot the Suns, there's a scene where the protagonist drinks the immortality potion found in the secret cave; as a result he leaves the earth and floats up to the moon to continue his adventure.
​
On the moon, HouYi discovers the Jade Rabbit as well as a colony of rabbits. These creatures all speak using Wan Khu and HouYi can't understand them, until finding a scroll and becoming enlightened to their language later in the game.
As far as we are aware, YÄ« tái yóuxì Software Company's demo is the first time a fully functioning conlang has made it into an eight-bit Nintendo game. There are plans for an adventure game written in Wan Khu to be released sometime in the future!
