DeprecatedPhoenix

Comedian Taylor W. Wilson founded LMS shortly after releasing his first novel Dark Matter: Code Red in 2018. He immediately began drawing the Table Manners comic strip, reinventing it and making it into a lasting comic.

In 2018, Taylor felt the time had come to reboot. The goal was comedy for everyone, though plans were set to release content of varying genres. The Incursia franchise was the first to form, displaying Laughing Matter Studios' action side. In the same month, Table Manners was rebooted. The comic strip laid out the comedy genre. In 2020, the studio showed our capabilities as a video game developer. That's My Book!!! was a short video game built to run on PC and (now for the exciting part) the original Nintendo Gameboy.

In 2021, the studio brought Table Manners into a whole new medium, releasing the game Table Manners: Worm-Cation. The game, like That's My Book!!!, was released via HTML and Gameboy Color ROM and featured the cast of Table Manners trying to save the world from giant worms.  

While it would be a while before the next game, Laughing Matter Studios, LMStudios for short at this point, would release the next game in late 2023. At this time, it was announce that they would release several "micro" games based on arcade classic, but using Table Manners and Incursia aesthetics. 

In 2024, while several arcade games were released, it was announced that due to lack of financial support led to the decision to shut down LMStudios.online. The studio's social media have remained online, but without updates, and it's Discord, while live, has little to no activity. Taylor has been quoted saying that LMStudios will likely not make a return, though he will continue work in game development and writing where he feels comfortable doing so.

LMStudios was sold to DeprecatedPhoenix prior to the summer of 2025.
