Hey there, it's been a month since I've posted anything on my Bluesky. To put it short, lots of work for other mods. But I've also been working on mine, which will hopefully release its teaser trailer by the end of the month. Here's some things from it!

#pvz #pvz2 #pvz2modded #plantsvszombies #mod

A mask design for a new zombie coming to my mod. I wonder what it does?

The almanac entry for Goop-shroom, which is both a rename and a rebalance of Shadow-shroom! Certainly not the only returning face with revisited abilities that you will encounter.

Intro Dialogue from a level. Wait, why does Penny speak like that?

A preview of the early game of a level. Hmm... what's up with that plant selection and the level name?

A little teaser for a plant rework, albeit one you won't see on release of my mod - Sun-shroom now shrinks instead of growing! The catch? When it shrinks, it produces an extra 100 Sun!

Here's the video: youtu.be/UZQpiOlZ3Og

Hey there! I know I've been pretty radio silent lately, but it's for a good reason, I promise. I've been working behind the scenes on reviving a certain past project of mine...

Let's just say, you're in for quite the Mudfest in here! (More teasers coming soon!)
#pvz #pvz2 #mod #plantsvszombies

A sneak peek of a Lost City Retake! Looks like there's quite a lot of mud this time around, but what's up with that abbreviation? I don't think the world is called Most Tity, now is it?

Since LINGO 2 released today, I'll be streaming my blind playthrough of LINGO 2 today as well! See you in 2 hours!

Heyo, Plasma here! This is the channel which I use either for silly goofy goober shitposts or for drafts of stuff I work on. Who knows, maybe you'll also see some old stuff from time to time...? I ha...

Hey guys! Since Twitch doesn't save streams for longer than a week, I've decided to start reuploading my stream VODs to YouTube. I'll drop them a day after the stream happens on my YT account which you can find here: www.youtube.com/@dasblattgru...

Hope you've been having fun on my streams so far!

Hey there, a bit of a late announcement but we're continuing the PvZ2: AltverZ streams today in 5 minutes! I'll wait a little bit given how late I posted this. We're gonna be streaming for a bit longer from now on since I don't have any tests for now, so get ready!

I take pride in Darwin the Incinerator's name 🔥✍️

Young game developer and artist who also streams in his free time! I stream PvZ2 Mods, LINGO, Celeste and sometimes other games friends recommend me.

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · Mar 3

Hey everyone! Yesterday's stream went pretty nicely and I had a lot of free time today so I figured I do a second stream in case you missed the first one! Like yesterday, it'll be more AltverZ! See you in half an hour!

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · Mar 2

Stream's up! Get ready for PvZ2: Altverz!

Hey everyone! First off, the WtL? Competition will be hosted later down the line, but the timing is unsure. Second, I'm going to stream on Twitch now! I will drop posts whenever I start a stream on Bluesky and the first one will be tomorrow at 14:30 UTC/GMT! More details tomorrow, but it'll be PvZ!

oooo hypnotising background with stream promise on it oooooo you wanna watch the stream oooo

Also who noticed the wojak meme before I pointed it out for you in this alt text? No cheating!

We're back and stronger than ever - What the LINGO? Development is picking up again now that February has come! While my original plans for Glitchland didn't work out due to the amount of work we would have and burnout, at least now I feel motivated to continue working on this. Have some teasers!

A preview of Mint C - Throwback Machine! Mint is the very first colour you learn right after Test A and your introduction to the full game. But what's up with learning Middle Mint only at Mint C - and what's up with those square brackets?

A new mechanic for the newbies out there! Pipes and Chains have been a part of LINGO puzzles since the beginning, even if they had a very rough initial representation. Some of you have probably figured out how they work off of this example, but you may have noticed that little arrow - we're adding directional indicators to pipes to make the puzzles a little more convenient for you guys to solve!

Round 2! My friends all thought that Topaz deserved a revisit more than Aqua so here you go, a more proper revisit of Topaz! Now with less gore!

Kryo is up next, a character that I have almost never drawn yet I constantly think of drawing.

By the way, is it me or is someone missing here...?

When redesigning Topaz, I thought it would be more interesting to give him a more "modern looking" design that focuses less on withering and more on just looking like he came from a failed future of sorts. I also reworked the interactions on the right a lot from the original ones because the OG interactions were kinda mid LMAO

This is also probably the fan favourite characters between my friends and I have a feeling it's purely because of the monitor head. Just be glad I didn't put those cameramen from Skibidi Toilet in the goofs section... 😅

Well... close, it did release a few minutes before midnight instead. Green Sea is out now for everyone to enjoy so long as you have LINGO on your computer!

Hey! I've been sort of bouncing left and right making stuff but a recent bout of inspiration and some friends have helped me work on my first proper LINGO map: Green Sea. Odds are the map will be finished by tomorrow, so have this little snippet of the map for now! 🙃

Yes, we did name it "i'll think about it". What are you gonna do about it? Kill us with hammers?

A little snippet of what the map looks like. I'll admit, I'm not a master of craft when it comes to 3D environments, but I ended up liking the visuals I made since they fit the mood pretty well!

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · Jan 17

Here's the first out of 5 (?) total character sheets introducing all my OCs! Starting off strong with Trace, one of the more recent reworks out of all of them. He actually ended up shifting a character to use Red as a colour. (which you can see in the section to the right!)

Topaz is up next!

Trace's Character Sheet! I had a lot of fun redesigning this character based on his original rendition in the game project he was made for. Interestingly enough, the reason why I even revisited him is because I want to remake said game project, so there's going to be news on that soon enough as well. Definitely one of the harder ones to think through but also satisfying as hell to finish drawing.

When an artist has a little too much power:

...I don't think there's even a way to explain this, man.

And on a less... "morbid" note, some doodles I also did yesterday! I decided to have fun with redrawing the old Aqua design and it ended up in a pretty funny VC session.

Oh hey, you get a sneak peek at Trace's design as well. Neat!

2 separate doodles, one being how I redrew the old Aqua design based off of the pixel art reference with comparisons between Classic and Modern Sonic because I found it really funny, the other being a Family Guy meme with Trace and the old Aqua design.

Hey y'all! I didn't forget to post stuff here ever since the holidays, in fact I have something pretty quirky for my first drawing of 2025: Fan-art of Butcher Vanity with Aqua in place of the character from that song. Check out the song as well - it's a complete banger! 🍴(^q^)🥩

Aqua in the style of Butcher Vanity! I had a lot of fun creating this - from drawing the pose of the character, to colouring and shading in everything to look similar to how it does in the video and even the background. The more I worked on it, the more I wished I could work on it even further. Hey, who knows, I might make an ALT version more akin to the "calm" parts of the videos?
