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?

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 06/04/2025

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 #pvz #pvz2 #mod #plantsvszombies

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?

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

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

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

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!

D.B.Plasma

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...

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 06/03/2025

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!

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

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 · 01/03/2025

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!

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

Hello everyone! I have posted a poll on the WtL? thread in Lingocord in regards to a potential mini-jam where you can submit your own WtL? Level submission while working under certain restrictions. If you're interested, join the server and vote on the poll right now! This poll will last for 2 weeks!

Current state of the poll. Want to change it? Then join Brenton's LINGO Discord server!

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

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!

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

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... 😅

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

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! Steam Workshop Link: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

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 · 17/01/2025

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.

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

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.

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

[TW: Blood] 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?

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 25/12/2024

Christmas cookies! My sister, grandma and I got to work and made some treats for us for the holidays. These are so delicious it's a little hard to not eat a bunch of them... 😅

A picture of some cookies before we put sugar on them and then put them in the oven. There's also a Star Cookie I tried cutting out with a knife, but... Well 😅

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 25/12/2024

Merry Christmas, everybody! And since you've all been good patient followers of my work, I've got a surprise gift for you as well - Well okay, maybe not a surprise at this point, but still. What the LINGO?'s Christmas Update is out! blattgrunplasma.itch.io/what-the-lingo

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

Accurate depiction of me after I learned that the reason Gamemaker was shitting itself with running WtL? was because a single effect broke and the program didn't bother to tell me it until I finally checked said effect with no implication it was the problem from the error logs. Man.

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

Meanwhile, in the corners of a development Discord server (wow this is off to a great start) lies this sketch... I wonder what it could be? 👀 After we're done with the Jolly update for WtL?, expect the game's first spin-off! It should be noted that it would be for veterans though, so get ready!

A diagram showing 3 new mechanics. I wonder how they're related and what they could do?

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

Hi, so while I was tallying up changes for Christmas update a few moments ago I have been met with the cursed reality that a troll bonus level is the biggest level in What the LINGO? now. How did I manage to make more content off of a troll than I did off of half the themes??

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

"MOM! Phineas and Ferb are screwing up the level unlocks with their new save system! 😡" - Candace, probably

A very, VERY unintended outcome of save data transferal... Oops! :D

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Admittedly, I didn't look too much into the level hub visuals for the game because I was more interested in drawing the (still work in progress) level backgrounds. However... 👀 (Still a partial WIP) My beta testers came in clutch with this one, they had quite a few suggestions that looked good!

Preview of a few visual stuff coming to the Christmas update. Hopefully you can notice all the changes compared to before!

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

My friend @seemslegithuh.bsky.social showed me this cool template so I decided to draw Aqua for it! Here's how it turned out 👀 Credits are on the template itself! (Check comments for the template itself)

25 Different Expressions for Aqua! I really like my usage of colour with some of these, and all of them (except for Ill/Nauseous) work with just the line art itself! Pretty fun to work on in all honesty.

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

Decided to revisit an old character of mine and accidentally made the best sketch in my life like holy fuck Also here's the basic Line Art for now (without the cape.) Still trying to work out some details. I wonder if people will recognize him from my past works? 👀

Sketch of the pose and general outfit of the character, with the top hat sort of just being slapped on as-is since I wasn't sure how I'd shape it afterwards.

Basic Line Art of the character, including some tears and scars on his clothes and body.

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

SURPRISE! Happy birthday LINGO! Since me and @seemslegithuh.bsky.social managed to finish the game yesterday evening, I decided to quickly get my testers to test the last few additions and release the game today! Check it out here: blattgrunplasma.itch.io/what-the-lingo

A part of me is kind of sad that many might turn off music despite the effort SLH put into the OST, but I guess it never hurts to have a music toggle right? 😅

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Progress update! Only 8 out of the 49 total levels remain to be finished and we're close to wrapping up the first release's OST as well! Mark your calendars, because this is releasing on December 15th for certain! Thank you for your patience with @seemslegithuh.bsky.social and I's work!

Christmas Tradition - Gator Days

Panel 1
Olivia: Can we start decorating the tree?
Polly: Not until the curry is done. It's tradition.

Panel 2
Olivia: Why? None of my friends eat curry while tree decorating.
Polly: Ask Mom.

Panel 3
Penelope: I think one year your dad was craving curry. Then we started having it every year.

Panel 4
Olivia: So we just do this because we like curry?
Polly: It's the best reason for a tradition.

Y'know, sometimes you just wanna draw something silly. Something goofy even. I wanted to draw something silly and goofy even :) Tealia is a character based off of a LINGO custom map of all things (check Image ALTs for more info) and I like how my interpretation ended up! 😀

Tealia placed in comparison to Aqua.
Tealia's character design consists mainly from the protogen base provided by the origin source as a starting point and the main theme being height. The teal motif all around her mane and name is based on a custom LINGO color called "Tea Teal", which is based off of Ice Height! I feel as if I could've drawn her a little better if I gave it a little more time, but silly doodles be silly doodles :P

Original source of the character, I ended up referencing mainly this for my own version while spinning some elements in ways I personally find more fitting for the map/colour the character's based on :) Still a cool character though, this inspired me to do the skirt with multiple different colours from Ice Height as well! Now THAT's some cool character design the OP got!

D.B.Plasma @dbplasma.bsky.social · 29/11/2024

Hey there, I have both good and bad news about the state of WtL?, so let's get to the topic 🙃 The good news? Me and @seemslegithuh.bsky.social have made great progress on our respective parts of the game's development, and my testers have helped iron out some quirks! (Look at the rest of thread)

Preview of Green X-2 featuring a slight addition to Top Green and also the new Return and Hint buttons!

Preview of Squiggle-1 featuring a mechanic made by Icely Puzzles and also the Hint system!

Preview of @ariqustom.bsky.social's Guest Level! I wonder what it's about...?

New haircut? 👀 I thought they would look neat if I made them tie the back of their head to resemble their original design. Aqua used to have a more pointed end that looked like a pony tail originally and I wanted to capture that same element in their current design 🙃 Here's a comparison!

Doodle of Aqua being a little doubtful about the "ponytail" but warming up to it in no time.

A snippet of Aqua's old design when I used to do pixel art. This dates back to more than 5 years ago, it's funny how the character evolved since then!

Felt like making a doodle based off of this random Youtube Shorts video that popped up on my feed about "making your own weirdcore oc". It's also a little inspired by Mario & Luigi: Brothership's cute plug NPCs, though it's mostly just for the body shape! 🙃 Might draw more of him some day :P

Based on what the video said, he's coloured green since that's my favourite colour (if you couldn't tell by my name lol) and has a mouth on his body because I've got a pet cat! That's also why he's got that clown look for him and those segmented limbs.

Here's a link to the video if you wanna give it a shot!

As an extra teaser... Here's a preview of the game's new Parallax Backgrounds! This was something I was debating for a while, but eventually I ended up adding it. There's a toggle for turning these off if they are too distracting, but I think they spice up the visuals a bit!

Hey, it's been almost a week since I posted the last sneak peek, so here's a sneak peek at an unfinished world map featuring the levels you'll be playing! Don't worry about the details, just try to get an idea of how big (or technically small in the grand scheme of things) this game will be 😉

And the first beta test of "What the Lingo?" has now aired for all my beta testers! Here's sneak peeks of the good, the bad, and the downright wacky puzzles you guys will be able to play upon release! P.S: No, I didn't put any bad puzzles in the screenshots 🙃

Snippet from one of the first challenge routes in the game.
