Content

Hello everyone! Sorry for being late with this post. This is where paid Patreon members can ask questions to potentially be answered in episode 4 of the Basically Games Podcast! This episode will be focused on version 0.10 of Baldi's Basics Plus and I'll also probably talk a bit about my trip to the Game Developer's Conference!

Please post your questions as comments to this post and I'll answer a few of them in the podcast. If you posted a question previously that wasn't answered, feel free to post it again. If you posted a question as a comment to the previous podcast episode, please re-post it here. To keep things simple, I'll only be sorting through questions commented on this post and the corresponding Kickstarter post.

I will wait at least a week after this post goes up before recording to make sure there is plenty of time for you all to post your questions. After that, I can't make any guarantees that I'll see your question.

Are there going to be more teacher characters? With just Baldi and Mrs Pomp the schoolhouse seems low on teaching staff

TheJerkChicken99

3 questions, you can choose one if you want to. 1. Will there be more room variants of classrooms, faculty rooms, etc? No offense but it is getting boring seeing the same rooms over and over again. 2. Will you update and/or make adjustments to the current challenge maps? since the new content and polishes to the game make them incredibly easy now in my opinion. 3. I do not know if you answered this before, but does Baldi wear lipstick?

Elite Guardian

Will there ever be equality in Baldi's Basics? And by that I mean, will the principal ever send Beans to detention etc. Other characters for entering faculty rooms or running. Or is the plan to keep him as a nuisance to the player only

Mc Mcarthy Jones

What's your process for reworking existing content (i.e. W.D.NoSquee and The Test.) and are there any other reworks planned for the future?

louiefan24

- are there any plans to release raw assets like undithered sprites, unedited audio files, and maybe even full anim8or models at some point in the future? if so, would this wait until after 1.0, and about how much stuff could we expect? - baldis character has shifted a lot over the years, and by now i dont really see any of the weirdly evil guy he was in classic. thats a change i certainly enjoy, but now i find it strange that he still looks angry during his slapping sprites. he goes back to smiling for any action that isnt just chasing you, and its always felt weirdly inconsistent to me. is there any particular reason for him to still be like this? - (could be bundled with previous question, theyre pretty similar) over time, baldis line delivery has grown much less flat, and its started to contrast with a lot of older dialogue, particularly the floor entrance lines. do you plan on redoing those less enthusiastic-sounding clips in the future for consistencys sake? - with the gauge icon for being squished by dr reflex being the red male student, has capsule collider officially been laid to rest, or did you just choose it as a generic icon? will the players appearance ever be relevant to anything ingame? - i found it interesting that the students have 360-degree sprites despite their angle not being that important to gameplay, since the only other 360 characters have more important aesthetic and/or gameplay reasons to be viewable from all sides. is this a bit of polish you plan on adding to new characters in the future, and if so, will any preexisting characters get additional renders from all sides to be more in-line? - about the music playback overhaul you mentioned in the first episode, what ideas do you have that wont work with maestro, and is there an estimate for when youll start to work on it? also, would you replace the music maker tracks alongside that update, or comission/compose new tracks even later down the line than that? - as minor as it is compared to the boatloads of other cool new stuff added, my absolute favorite part of classic remastered is the debug mode. messing around to see how characters act in strange scenarios never gets old, so with how much more content there is to experiment on in plus, are there any plans to add something similar as a reward for beating that game as well?

Blox_Times

Are you going to add other camera angles? Like third person?

Shabble Dabble

The famous saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" would imply that all doctors have an irrational fear of apples. So, does Dr. Reflex have this fear and is just really good at hiding it or is he not afraid whatsoever? This is a very important and life-changing question, so I'll understand if you find it too daunting to answer.

ComedicCat (she/they)

a couple of questions for you: 1: with the test's rework, the "don't look away or it comes closer" character trope is gone. i recall you saying early on in bb+'s development that you wanted to make sure to include that trope in some way or another. are there any plans to re-add that trope in the form of something new? 2: once the farm rework is complete, are the wild west and water treatment plant field trips still planned? if yes, follow up question: are there any field trips planned besides those four? 3: the ultimate question... DOES LORD BUMBO'S DISTANT RELATIVE HAVE LORE SIGNIFICANCE? (this question is a joke if you can't tell)

louiefan24

i believe back in the 0.7 podcast, he mentioned there probably being around 9 field trips if memory serves? and in a stream about the 0.10 prerelease, he just casually mentioned a gameshow trip where one of the minigames is having to win Who Wants to Be a Bajillionaire

Typervader

How come you decided to rework test to make him work completely different?

hopja

Will field trips or the bus pass item get revamped in the future? It worked fine when there were only 3 floors, but since the game is a lot harder and longer now, it would be nice if the bus could reappear on later floors if you forgot to use or grab the bus pass, or had it stolen from you!

uncertain_luei

I don't know if anyone else has asked this earlier, but were there any instances where modded content has inspired you to add features into the game?

HPR

Since .10 was that last early access that 100% of the effort was focused on, does that mean major reworks and new content (like new activites/level themes) will show up in EA, or will stuff like that be saved for 1.0?

GrainyWayGalxay

Thank you so much for working on this game and making v0.10 such a great update. Are there any strategies you've seen players use that you had never thought of or intended when creating mechanics involved in said strategies?

Wyref

Do you have any future plans for Endless Mode? Will it ever get access to stuff like level types or other types of customisation? I feel like that'd be great for practice or just fun, especially now that the game's gotten much harder. I feel like Endless Mode itself is a bit lacking compared to the main game. Also wanna say that Baldi's Basics is my all-time favourite game and I love how passionate you are about it!

GlassBottleGames

Will there be an official Baldi's Basics Community Discord server? If so, I would be willing to help with that, as I have been using Discord for many years.

lame dan

When do you play on readding "real" music onto plus instead of generated synths? is it gonna be late into the game devlopment (near 1.0) or is it something that we will get onto pretty soon, on a related note: You've currently have a open source music-thingy project on github (MOISE) that you talked about you wanted to put in plus, is THAT gonna be in plus? what are the plans for it? what will it do and what else can it do that the system you currently have didn't? also funny 99 reference in there. (per usual i just put the question that i most care about in the front and the rest for later, still don't know how it works but im guessing you only answer one question, here it goes.) -do you plan on reverting the item shuffle any time soon? an idea would be to make it an challange rather than forced upon, so players have the choice wether or not they want the game to be random or not. -will there ever be a floor-type with ALL the crazy gimmicks in one level, it seems like it would be cool! -You've talked about "real time generation" and i wonder how will you acheive something like thatn and when? -any plans to overhaul maintanence? it still is quite frustating and players haven't really liked it even after you changed stuff from it, it really requires one.

lame dan

this is actually a very interesting question which i hope he answers but i think the answer is no??? i mean, for plus, i dont know if he knows plus mods besides level editor, but classic i definetely feel like he got inspired

lame dan

an apple a day saves life

LilStinker

Since you've gone into the process of creating the Test's design and also talked a bit about coming up with the old mechanic, do you think you could explain a bit about the process of creating the Test's rework?

HaDerpo

I got a few! -when it comes to the tutorial, will you be updating it to the standards of versions 0.10 or higher? (for the new levels and mechanics) -will there be more level layouts? aside from the new maintenance, factory and laboratory levels -seeing how much baldi has changed through the past couple updates, mostly tutorial having a big impact of new talking sprites, do you at some point plan on redoing most or some of his current sprites? like the slapping, waving, etc - saved this for last i know it isnt 0.10 related but i want to know... do you own an air frier

princibaldiFanatic

im so sorry to ask but could you tell me what was the livestream called or who posted it? i couldn't find a 0.10 pre-release stream where mystman12 said that

Atticus Brindamour

I have a few questions Firstly, what IS cloudy copter? like is he a wild animal who wandered in, is he a pet, does he have a job? Secondly how many pre releases are they planning on doing before the full release? Lastly did baldi lose his hair or did he just never grow any?

LipeGamer701

hey yo i got some questions - baldi's basics classic remastered will be updated? (like will have new plus things) - what consoles do you think you will release baldi's basics plus when it will be finished? - you will bring back the baldi plushes? (it's because i wanna buy and i didn't know the game on 2023) - when you think you will release farm again on baldi's basics plus? thank you if you respond :)

The Riddle Goblin

What made you decide to overhaul The Test in this update. I ask because The Test's original purpose was to act as the weeping angel character, but now that has seemed to be discarded. Also I think this update was spectacular and you should keep up the great work... or see me after class!

som man

1# I realized in the update the students are actually the same height as the player and Dr Reflexe's squished icon it has one of the students as the icons so that makes me think that we are one of them so is this our player design and now it's finalized? 2# to this what do you think of the before 0.10 the fan made Students model from basics and behaviors and becoming to be used as the players model in the fandom l want to know your thoughts about that too

@88!

What was it like developing and designing Glitch Style (if you can talk about it)?

Pappithy

this comment isnt a question i just wanted to say hi and hit a little jig hi *hits little jig*

DoCheonGong

Do you have a plan to update screenshots in the store page? I've seen the description was updated and some screenshots were removed, but rest of them are still using V0.3, which is pretty outdated for now.

Nova_

I have a couple: How do you make the light masks for things like the buttons and vending machines? Will Endless Mode get the new level types that appear on Floor 4 and 5? Also about 0.10 I've been waiting a LONG TIME for another floor to be added and this update I got surprised with not one but two new floors so thanks a lot, this is the best update yet!!!

Mischievious Pete

I really hope he answers this! This is something I hope gets added soon!

Mischievious Pete

What was your favorite thing that you added in v0.10 or what fun moments did you have while working on this update? Also I really love this update! I've been wanting new floors for a while now and it feels like a dream come true! Thank you Micah for creating a fantastic update!

d4not

Here are my questions for the podcast! How was your experience at the Game Developer's Conference? Will Classic Remastered get ports for mobile or consoles? Have you had any plans to bring back the Farm Field Trip or the scrapped "Wild West"? Are you planning to add more Field Trips? In the Early Access trailer for Plus, there are scenes of a red Schoolhouse slowly darkening. Were there any plans to dye the Schoolhouse red, like in Classic Remastered when you collect all the notebooks, for Plus? I really admire what you do, your work has been a huge inspiration to me. Keep being awesome!! <3

SnappySpeedster

Was there any particular reason why you reworked The Test? I liked his original behavior, as it actually gave me the creeps. I do like the new behavior though, so don’t be upset. Do you plan on keeping it this way? Please let us know in the episode! Take care!

Shabble Dabble

In a recent interview with the YouTuber Nintendrovert, I believe Mystman12 mentioned that Baldi inventing things is still a major part of his character, or something along those lines. Also, it would appear that the machines in the Laboratory, the vents and likely a few more recent additions were made by Baldi, so he is still making new stuff!

Memes Overhead

Will there be more endless map types? like for example i would love to see a version of endless mode where there are infinite floors instead of infinite notebooks like that one missingtextureman mod that was discontinued

Harma 22

Do you plan to continue adding new content specific for the level types like textures, structures, room types and variants etc, or after the 'fine details' mentioned in v0.10 changelog are added they will be considered 100% finished and focus will be put on just new types instead?

Bradylovesgraps

In V1.0 will there be a big character overhaul (like a ton of new characters) because it seems like we have much less then the goal of the main game

louiefan24

...i dont believe it was? ive beaten 0.10 in hide and seek once or twice, and the ending is very much still there. maybe you were playing in explorer mode, where the ending has always been absent?

FourForMuddles

prob been asked about a million times now but do you have an idea of an ending to the game or is that something being pushed back until you're pretty much finished with the game?

Mr. Eel

How will the menus look like in the final game. I always imagined them to be an adventure field similar to Sonic adventure, taking place outside the super schoolhouse

Emery Szumetz

i have an idea for that. You walk in the super schoolhouse and you see baldi with the pad (just like the menu.) Then, it sends you to the different gamemodes. You have to pull levers for the play styles and challenges for hide and seek, then go in an elevator. When you exit the super schoolhouse, a confirmation screen pops up. If you click yes, the come back soon voiceline is said. Then, you walk into baldis bus thats outside when youn open the game. When you enter the bus, it plays an animation of the bus moving then shuts the game

Emery Szumetz

Will you add more things to the pitstop. Also, will there be a new entity similar to NULL style in Plus?

Mr. Eel

I also like the idea that there are certain areas in the adventure field that require certain items to open that will have lore or non-lore secrets

J Dean

Hey Mystman! Loved the update! I just had a few questions regarding the pitstop & the lights out event + some misc. questions! (feel free to anwser only a few of these questions if there are too many! My priority order would be as follows: Q6, Q1, Q4, Q7, Q5, Q2, Q3! Question 1: Will you add more elements to johnnys store? What I mean by that is you have a table for the map in the top left corner but the top right corner has nothing. I am assuming you are going to re-add that expulsion gavel at some point but if that's not the case will there be more unique goodies to buy? Question 2: The right side table is still missing items on the far right side so does that mean there will be more floors where those items will be there? Or is it just there for symmetry purposes? Question 3: Are you planning on decoration the pitstop because right now it looks a little bland I mean some simple wall posters or plants would be cool n' stuff! Question 4: Will there be more content IN the pitstop, like a salvage system for some extra YTPs or a knowledge book for characters/items really anything because the pit stop as it is right now doesn't have that much content so it would be cool to get more! Question 5: When you add more field trips to the game: will there be another buss pass on floor 4 and a corresponding field trip in the floor 4-5 pitstop? I think having 2 field trips per game would make the field trip mechanic as a whole a lot more prominent! Question 6: Do you plan to add more to the lights out event? As of right now its cool and all but it feels a bit stale. I think if you added more mechanics to the event (the make it harder for the player to escape of course) then the event would be alot more worrisome and imo better! Question 7: I am sure you are aware but the name "YTPs" is more associated with a term on you tube called "Youtube poop" or in other words brain rot/memey edits of videos and it makes the abbreviation sound a bit silly. Not saying you HAVE to do this since I can see it being a lot of work but maybe giving YTPs a different name to make them less similar to a pretty weird Youtube "genre" Thats all my questions and thank you once again for 0.10 like holy moly that update was amazing!

M GAngelPlus

Wait I also forgot to eighth and last question and will Gameshow field trip get added in possible v0.12 after v0.11 update releases in two month cycles? The livestream was streamed by Graysland said “Who Wants to Be a Bajillionnaire.”.

MillyNilly

Hi mystman, I wanted to ask a few questions, hopefully you'll answer Do you plan on heavily reworking the mechanics on other characters like you did with the test? Do you plan on adding more play styles? I found the 2 minute time limit challenge difficult but really fun at the same time And will there ever be more floor types added in the future?

Joob Woobly

Are there any plans to add more character interactions similar to the special Baldi's shrink machine scene from Remastered? I think they are one of the most endearing parts of the entire series! Additionally, will there be minigames outside of ones included in field trips?

Jofitzy

Hey Mystman! (First off, I hope you're okay after the failure of the Two-Sided Doughboi, I'm sure not) I have a question: How did you come up the design and voice for the students who walk around?

leafling in da sunset

Hey Micah, I have a couple of questions regarding some of the items in the game. Some of the items are products made by other companies like the WD-NoSquee being WD-40 or the Lost Controller being a controller for an Air Hogs Plug and Play game. How do you avoid copyright infringement? Is it ok because they’re edited? I hope they won’t have to be changed because I think the real life photos add a little charm to the game.

MissingTextureMeow101

I have a feeling the "YTP" thing is a very much intentional coincidence that is likely done for comedic effect.

MissingTextureMeow101

The full release of 0.10 massively improved on what was shown in the prerelease, great job! Though I do still have a concern. What exactly is the reasoning behind making the items (and shape lock colors) seed inconsistent? I feel like the change has removed an interesting element of strategy and made seed searching less interesting. And will pre-made levels get randomized items to make them consistent with the randomly generated levels?

Nour

Two questions about Null. (you can choose which one to answer btw) Do you ever regret making Null as a character? (i'm not saying Null is bad btw) Is there any lore reason on why Null is in the game? (i'm not asking you to reveal some lore. i'm just asking if you actually have something in mind)

reactionsetgo

will null make a comeback in plus?

FuzzBunny

pretty sure mystman said Null wouldnt be apart of BB+ because 1. BB+ has a different upcoming story 2. Null got put into public domain for anybody to use i think there was some other reason but i personally dont remember cause my memory sucks u could probably do research to look it up tho lol

FuzzBunny

Hi mystman! before i ask my question i just wanted to say that i love what you are doing with the game and i cant wait to see what other games you make in the future! my question for you is; will there ever be contributing artists on BB+ ? like if you wanted an aspect in the game to look or sound a certain way? that is the only question i have for you, good luck on developing the rest of the game!!

Linda

what was the idea for the students in this update, and why do some of them resemble characters in the game? I'm not much of a question asker due to not having ideas for any but decided to post a question before missing out

fortnitegaming1212

Hey Mystman! I really enjoyed update 0.10 and had a few questions I wanted to ask: 1. Do you plan to update or rework some of the character and item sprites in the future? 2. Will there be more interactions between characters, like how the Principal can take the Bully to detention? 3. Will characters get new sprites or animations when they're squished by Dr. Reflex's hammer?

ComedicCat (she/they)

1. bbcr will be updated at some point, however updating it with modern bb+ optimizations would be really hard for the null boss fight. 2. bb+ has already been selected for an xbox release, if i recall correctly, and mystman's going to work more on releasing it to other consoles like switch and playstation later due to them being more complicated.

Graysen Wilson

Will there be any new installments in the franchise? Like a spinoff?

LipeGamer701

in the null case i think will be not easy and not hard too

ToastyMcLover

Why did you change the test mechanic

Radamaaa

When I play the game on plus or watch people on yt, I had not hear playtime's "I wanna play with someone" and "ehehhehe" lines on Plus. Is this a bug?

TheJerkChicken99

No, it is just rare for her to say those lines.

Crazyrayz

Hello Mystman! I hope you are doing well My question is, will there be other characters in different styles? Like how Doctor Reflex is claymation, and how Arts and Crafters is a puppet? Thank you, and good luck with the development on plus! You're killin it so far!

Aamet

Will there be new characters in the updates this year?

Aamet

Will Baldi's model be released publicly in the future?

ComedicCat (she/they)

you know, there's already plenty of minigames outside of field trips (e.g. playtime's jumprope, dr. reflex's test, MATH MACHINES)

ComedicCat (she/they)

mystman specifically said that in order to optimize bbcr, he'd have to rework the null fight, which would be pretty time consuming. said it himself in an older podcast. episode 3, i think?

JimJamm

What was it like making the Null boss fight for BBCR? and are boss fights in the realm of possibilities for Baldi's Basics Plus?

louiefan24

thats just a royalty free explosion gif he used, he didn't make it

Tezy Nuz

Hi Mystman12, first off I think 0.10 was really big and really awesome! It’s really cool how you managed to make such a big update I know it must’ve been really hard but the end result was really nice! There is a question I have been wondering for a while and that is what is the canon player model? Is it the student model, Capsule Collider, No model, or is it something completely different?

Radamaaa

Well, I have another better question than before, in the future, will you ever be looking forward to hire a game developer, game designer, or ideas and feedbacker, etc to the Basically Games team for future projects?

Joob Woobly

I mean more traditional minigames. Things that might break the flow of gameplay or count as intermissions. Something low-stakes that won't affect a run, like between floors.

PizzaOnWheels22

Something I’ve wondered for a while: When developing certain things in the game and looking for inspirations, do you research actual educational games or just things from the 90s in general to aim for historical accuracy?

Anonymous

I have multiple (though hopefully, as of before actually writing them all, not many) questions. Before I ask them, I just want to remind you to please check my email. It has more questions, and so much feedback that could improve your game. Because most of it was written before V0.10, some of it is outdated, though I consider much of it to still hold up with the current version, and I wrote new ones after V0.10. 1. Why did you change The Test's mechanic? Personally, I think it was actually a downgrade from his previous version. I explained my reasoning for this opinion in a post-V0.10 piece of feedback in the email. 2. What are some features introduced in V0.10 that you are happy with but plan to improve upon in a future update because it has flaws that could be ironed out? 3. What do you think about the complaints about Maintenance? 4. Speaking of the previous point, do you plan to add variability to the floor types in Floors 4 and 5 so they change as much as the schoolhouse type, with different floor and ceiling textures, and different big rooms?

J Dean

I Honestly think this was the worst thing to come out of 0.10. I really hope he reverts it or even better he can reverse it BUT make it a challenge option similar to the 1 minute limit and shrinking inventory!

J Dean

afaik that might've hinted towards the power out event in maintenance because of the red lights there and excluding the wall textures being different between the two I think that's what Mystman was going for

SatinFoil

I know there's a farm and (according to your conversation with Graysland) gameshow field trips planned, but do you have any others? By this I don't mean for you to necessarily tell us what they are, but whether others are planned or not or if you want to keep the amount of them down for quality?

HuntingGardner

Besides the farm and the gameshow, there's also a wild west field trip (detailed in a video on this very patreon page) and a water treatment plant field trip that has been mentioned before, but we still don't know if they were scrapped or if they will make it to the game.

Ovbaba

I'm creating a fangame for my friend thats related to BB+. As a voice line, can you say, "Welcome to Baldi's basic's SUPER MAKER REMASTERED!" I'll be sure to credit you in my credits sequence!

Phoenix Cloud

If I recall from the first episode from this podcast, he plans there will be 9 field trip mini games.

SatinFoil

@HuntingGardner Oh interesting! I heard of the farm (obviously), game show and Wild West but I haven’t heard of the water treatment one

SatinFoil

@Phoenix Cloud Interesting! Thanks for the response!

jaqueline carmo

Question: Bro what the hells you dont know the realase of 1.0,you até the devolment

VandalCAT 095

I was wondering how you from 2018 would of reacted if he realized Baldi's Basics would of had a massive cult-like following. (Keep on doing your work MystMan12.)

VandalCAT 095

Also, are you considering adding Steam Workshop support to BB+, cuz current mods for the game only work on Windows

LipeGamer701

probably no. i think that's a steam thing so that will not be fair because it's just for steam users, and not itch.io/gamejolt users. edit: basically games already said of steam workshop. he said "I'd definitely like to add Steam Workshop support at some point, although I can't say that I have plans to. I'll definitely look into though!"

LipeGamer701

btw what the heck is steam workshop??

FourForMuddles

are you aware of pillar chase 2 on roblox? and are you willing to officially collab with blade ninja?

louiefan24

it's built-in mod support and ways to access them. you can see it in a hat in time for example, which has a menu on the steam version to browse modded skins and levels and whatnot and download them without much hassle

LipeGamer701

oh i got it. even basically games/mystman12 said that can release that, it will not be fair for itch.io/gamejolt users that wanna play mods.

Namedperson

Will you make a stream of beating baldi plus for the 1st time

4.5 The Creator

how long would you say the average playthrough of Baldi's Basics Plus would take once version 1.0 releases?

Diamond Dump

Any plans for adding more set dressing to the game? I'd love to see more detail added into the rooms while still keeping its old visual style

LipeGamer701

hey mystman12, i know it's strange, another comment of me but some people are leaking bb+ (for example one guy comment that downloaded the game for free on bb+ trailer) can you please do something? i really like baldi's basics plus but im not happy that people are leaking.

Anonymous

I'm not mystman12 himself, but it's been long after the time frame that he could guarantee to answer questions within, so I'm just going to confirm it myself. (IIRC just to note) Mystman12 has said that the current ending, added in V0.3, is still a placeholder for the ending that will appear in V1.0, and, in the 3rd podcast episode, he's said that there will be different outcomes based on the choices you take in the game; more effort will yield more satisfying endings, while taking shortcuts to make playthroughs easier will yield less so,

niall donnelly

Why did baldi's voice change inbetween classic and the field trip demo?

Blox_Times

Whatever happened to the BBCR mobile port? Did you give up or is it still in the works (asking cuz we’ve gotten absolutely zero updates about that recently)

Aaron Sartin

will we ever get holiday events for baldi's basics plus after its finished?

Pencilbert 3D

Will you add IN SOME WAY the OLD CAMPING/FARM MINIGAME but with more tweaks and polish? Edit: I mean as in the Camping Demo and Maze, Have a great day!*

Marsaus

Why did you make the item text small?

LipeGamer701

i am late but with all respect, what the actually HECK is this question? like, what blade ninja have with mystman12?

Tiffany Rockward

Even tho this isnt for episode 5 i'm wondering, Will you ever give us the digital goodies Us patreoners never received?
