- TEXNOPLAZM December 2025 update - 11 December 2025
Hey everyone, Mothership here with one last update for 2025. The development for Episode 2 is going strong, with different aspects at different stages of completion:The layouts of the new maps for Chapters 4 and 5 are done (Chapter 6 still pending) and the levels are going through their first combat test and art pass. New enemies and bosses are being worked on: their movesets are being tested and balanced against the player, but half of them don't have a 3d model ready yet, so I'll keep their showcase for a future update.New melee weapons and guns are in a similar situation, with primary and secondary attacks already completed, but I want to showcase them later on, when their VFX and SFX have reached the quality of other weapons already present in the game.New environmental interactions: expect explosive barrels (they can be punched towards enemies!), landmines and laser traps to make t…

- TEXNOPLAZM update on the updates - 25 October 2025
Hey everyone, Mothership here. I’m happy to report that development on Episode 2 is on its way! It took a bit longer to get back into the groove as my main PC was having some serious technical issues that required a full reformat, but everything’s finally back up and running.The story and setting for Episode 2 were locked in months ago, which makes production move a lot faster, and a few new enemy types are already being prototyped (though they’re not quite ready to show off yet).If all goes well (and my computer behaves) you can expect Episode 2 to launch in the first half of 2026. I’ll be posting updates as development progresses. In the meantime please consider leaving a positive review: the game is currently enjoying a 97% Positive score on Steam, so if you're reading this and enjoyed the game do your part! the Girl will touch grass in episode 2Enjoy! -ML ::: Stay in touch!

- TEXNOPLAZM Training Room update is OUT! - 23 September 2025
Hey everyone, Mothership here. Today is the day TEXNOPLAZM receives its first content patch called The Training Room Update! It will introduce new features, progression improvements, and quality-of-life changes.Here’s a quick rundown: Training Room v0.1 The Training Room is a -new- place where players can practice their skills in a customizable environment. Handpick enemies, adjust hostility and invulnerability, tweak room size, and try out every weapon. This first version focuses on core functionality, with more tools and refinements planned for future updates. Upgrade Progression Rework The original progression was considered a bit too punishing, so the upgrade system has been redesigned to feel more rewarding while keeping the pace at which Upgrades can be obtained as it was planned. Upgrades are not tied to secrets of specific levels anymore. I have instead opted for a global soluti…

- Texnoplazm is John Wick as a cyberpunk boomer shooter - 3 June 2025
Having never designed an FPS before, there's a good chance the following grand theory of combat design I'm about to propose is reeking globnonsense, but here goes: I figure you've basically got two approaches. You can either keep it simple but chunky, and use this to lure the player in right away by making them feel powerful and capable. Then, you can keep your relatively pithy verb list interesting by riffing on things like encounter and enemy design. Then, there's the Texnoplazm method ( Steam demo here ) which is to slap you across the chops with a phone book of gun fu possibilities straight from the off, offer a taste of stylishness just piquant enough to convince you that mastering this toolkit seems like a fun and worthwhile idea, and let you loose. It's the "I suck at this, but I will not suck eventually, and then my enemies will be sorry and also impressed at how cool I look" ap…

The Early Access release will also entroduce brand-new systems that haven't been showcased in any public version yet, let's have a look at them. What to expect - New abilities and upgraded movesets Unlock powerful active and passive upgrades at hidden terminals by uncovering every secret in select levels. You’ll have the freedom to toggle or switch upgrades anytime to suit your strategy. Active upgrades will count as special moves that can be activated once their meter is full, while passive upgrades will improve moves or interactions that are pres…
