Hello everyone! This is where paid Patreon members can ask questions to potentially be answered in episode 5 of the Basically Games Podcast! This episode will be focused on version 0.11 of Baldi's Basics Plus.

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.

Starter Question: Will you add baldi's basics kickstarter prereleases to Patreon? They are just really fascinating and I would like to play, as back then i didn't know the kickstarter really existed! Bigger Question: How long do you think it may take until version 1.0, and will you still add big updates to plus after 1.0?

Aamet

Will there be farm in the updates this year or are you considering to delay?

Pencilbert 3D

If he does, I'm hoping that the minigames will be much harder for better rewards and because it is farther into the game OR maybe you might have to save the buss pass past floor 2 and then use it after floor 3/4 which would also be cool!

Aamet

That would be great if we saved it for floor 3/4 or it appears randomly(camping or farm) in floor 2!

- a lot of people tend to write off baldis basics character design as purely random, but ive always felt as if there was a certain level of cohesion to everything, even if i couldnt put my finger on what it is. are there any specific principles or inspirations you follow when it comes to character design, or is it actually just trying random stuff until it works? - are there any plans to release unedited assets (uncompressed sprites, undistorted audio files, maybe even full anim8or models)? if so, about how long might we have to wait for that, and how much stuff could we expect? - with the timer icon for being squished by dr reflex showing a red student, and the super stretchy glove being an edited student hand, it makes me wonder, is that what the player looks like, or were those just chosen as basic displays? will our appearance ever come into play for anything important? - i found it interesting that students have full 360 degree sprites and animated walk cycles, despite seemingly not really having a major reason to like dr reflex or first prize. is this higher level of animation something you plan on adding to more things in the future, and will old characters have updated assets to reflect this? - can we expect anything like the classic remastered debug mode as a reward for fully completing plus? messing around with the mechanics always been my favorite part of bbcr, and with how much more stuff there is in plus, im super excited about the idea of experimenting with it!

Pencilbert 3D

OOH I LOVE THE RANDOMLY APPEARING IDEA!

Aamet

I KNOW RIGHT THATS SO COOL AS THE FIELD TRIPS RANDOMLY APPEAR IN THE ENDLESS MAP IDEA!!!

Liam Farmer

Will there ever be a map maker?

niall donnelly

With the field trips being overhauled so many times are any of the planned field trips that were never implemented going to be added?

Lee M.

Do you plan on adding any kind of endless mode where the game never ends and you try to get to the highest floor possible? To pair with that question, what do you think the final amount of levels in Hide & Seek will be?

Shabble Dabble

Will elevators be able to appear in more unique and difficult places in future versions? For example, it would be interesting to have some appear closer to the middle of the map instead of at the edges, forcing you to find a safe way through to that elevator without being caught! It would also be nice to have elevators spawn in cafeterias like in older versions of Plus, as those are quite nostalgic to me for some reason.

Joe Mama

Do you ever plan to make more makeship plushies in the future for other characters in the game?

Elite Guardian

Hello mystman, thank you for answering my previous question a few podcasts ago. "Thanks for intel" as the 99 surveyor would say.. I'm going to repost the last question I asked since you missed it, as I didn't word it well enough for it to sound interesting. Will there be any character development in the way of the original cast? For example, the principal punishing others for misbehaving? A simple answer is ok :)

burger person

Hey Micah! I don’t know if this has been asked before, but if you had to start Baldi’s Basics again as a whole, time traveling back to the game jam with the knowledge you have today, what would you change, and would you even re-do anything in the first place?

TheJerkChicken99

Same questions as the previous one: 1. Do you plan on updating existing challenge maps so they are harder and have more up to date feel to them? Because the polishes you made like the grappling hook launch and pull speeds make the grapple challenge super easy now in my opinion. 2. Will there be more variants to class, faculty and big rooms? (Cafeteria, playground, library) 3. I do not know if you answered this before, but does Baldi wear lipstick? Or just have naturally bright red lips?

GrainyWayGalxay

I think you've mentioned somewhere before that there will be no lore in Baldi's Basics Plus while the game is in early access. This had me wondering why you decided to make the NINENINE secret that was present in v0.7. To me, it would make the most sense to just save myself the trouble and save stuff like that until v1.0. Do you care to share why you created the NINENINE secret when you did?

Crystal the Protogen

I have a small question If you have a discord then is this discord only accessable if you are a beta tester or a developer of the game also please try this really cool Baldi mod sometime called Baldi's Basics Times and give the creator (Pixelguy) a surprise comment or maybe make an appearance somewhere in his discord if you feel like it

Shifty Mungus

Do you plan on adding more level types to the game? If so what kinds are you planning?

hopja

Are there any plans to do one giant "AI update"? Or will all major AI changes (like Principal knocking on doors) be done in unrelated updates whenever?

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.

JimJamm

is baldi and the player playing hide and seek a placeholder for a story reason to baldi becoming angry? and if so, then will the 10 second countdown at the start of every floor be replaced?

in_the_green_square_

I have a few questions. Most of them focus more on the future of this game so it's fine if you don't answer them on this episode. 1. Will a new version of the farming field trip be coming in the future? 2. Will there be a 99 secret coming on September 9th this year like there was last year? 3. Have you thought about doing a youtube video of you playing hide and seek mode or Endless mode like you did for BBCR? 4. After you finish this game, will there be another game in the works? 5. This is moreso a suggestion for a future update, but have you thought about archiving some of past versions of the camping/farming field trips? Like having a separate section for people to play those in the menu. I streamed past versions of this game a few months ago and really enjoyed a few of them (the corn maze to name one). I think it'd be really cool to be able to try them out in a future update.

Radamaaa

Hey dude hope you are doing well! As you may remember I'm making Baldi's Basics Minecraft map, and I'm wondering if adding voice lines from character does interfere copyrights? I plan on making the ost into the noteblock and sound effect are Minecraft sounds, but does adding voice is a copyright? I want to be respectful!

Mischievious Pete

On the elevator screen, why did you change the green tv on the top left corner to the Baldi tv added in 0.6? It surprised me and I always wondered why it was done. It also looks like an overlayed sprite rather than it being rendered in the image, which means you can still see the old green tv behind the new one.

Kast

Hey Micah, I’ve got two questions that have been roaming around my head for quite a while waiting to be answered, 1. Will the farm ever return perhaps sometime this year if not later in 2026? 2. Any plans on adding more pre-made layouts into the game to add more variety?

uncertain_luei

Re-posting it from episode 4: 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 Plus in general? It's very unlikely that any mod made for Plus will be on that list, but it'd be funny to think otherwise. Related to that, what is your general opinion on the modding scene itself? Do you have any potential concerns with it?

SatinFoil

When the game releases, do you have any plans to add Steam Workshop Integration to make modding easier?

Graysen Wilson

Are you thinking of potential collabs or a spinoff game?

HaDerpo

hi! I have 3 questions 1. will baldi's basics have any more merch outside of makeship? fangamer for example 2. (might have asked this a lot but I just want to clarify) when the entirety of baldi's basics is done, do you plan on releasing files used for the game's assets? (anim8or model files, high quality textures, etc.) 3. do you own an air frier

HuntingGardner

1. So in a previous podcast episode, you were asked about the upgrade system you have planned for Plus, and gave a few examples for potential upgrades, those being, further reach, improved stealth, and increased stamina. With the Invisibility Elixer and Super Stretchy Glove, two of those upgrades have instead become normal items. This makes me wonder, were those brought up in particular because you had the items planned already, or has the upgrade system been changed or scrapped? If so, will increased stamina also be reworked into something else? 2. Will there be more events/elements that affect movement through the levels? i.e. Flood, Gravity Chaos, etc.

Nour

Three questions. I've noticed you talked about a potential upcoming feature last episode about an Endless mode but instead of endless notebooks, there's endless floors. Would that feature be saved for 1.0 or would that come out earlier? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've heard rumors that 1.0 will have 10 floors. Is this true? (it's fine if you don't wanna answer for spoiler reasons lol) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you plan on adding more modes in the future?

Mattie Mario

Which item in Baldi’s Basics did you have the most fun designing—whether in terms of its appearance, function, or something else?

J Dean

question 3 is the most important question he BETTER answer it!

J Dean

Heya Mystman! Just wanted to know if you plan on adding a stats viewer/guide book to the game. The stats viewer would display things like seed history, win counter, most used items etc. while the guide book would be a description of items, level types and NPCs. I think these things can help a game feel more complete and beginner friendly. Although you don't have to implement them in that way or even at all it would be cool.

DEEJAYY

I have two questions: 1. How many characters are you planning for there to be in Baldi's Basics Plus? 2. Will you make a new trailer when Baldi's Basics Plus is out of early access? The current one is kinda outdated.

Michael

Hello I got two questions 1. Will farm come back the end of this year or 2026? 2. What other challenges will there be in Baldi's Basics plus? (The challenges are outdated by a lot)

Nene Bee

Just a quick question. Do you think you’ll ever make changes to some of the characters designs?

Anonymous

Micah has already said that he doesn't want to add Null because BB+ will have a different story from Classic Remastered. He said that he's considered putting Null in, but ultimately decided against it.

Anonymous

Before I present my questions, I just want to ask you to read the email I've sent to you. It's extremely long, but it has lots of feedback that might help your game, though because of how long it's been since I wrote it, some of the feedback might've become outdated by the updates the game has gotten. Now, onto the actual questions: 1. What's your full opinion on the additions and changes made in V0.11, and how might you deal with anything you might've not been fully satisfied with in future updates? 2. Do you think you will end up creating sub-versions of V0.11? 3. What is a vague, unspoiling description you can offer about the future content you worked on during one of the months of V0.11's development? 4. What can we expect to see coming in V0.12?

Tiffany Rockward

So Look, Will you ever give us Patreoners. The kickstarter digital goodies and also. Was baldi's blinking In anim8or done seperately? Or Not, Those are my questions. See ya later!

Erik

For some reason my previous comment didn't send, so I'm writing that again, I have two things I want to ask you about: 1 - Recently in a conversation with my friend he mentioned that he feels like Baldi's Basics Plus is harder for him because he's dyslexic and can't properly read the numbers on the machines fast enough. Have you ever considered making some mode, or something in the settings maybe that would make the game more suitable for dyslexic people? 2 - I'm not sure if this doesn't fall under the "lore questions" category but I still want to ask, will we see more of Baldi's story/backstory in ver. 1.0 of BB+? I'm a big fan of him as a character and I'm hoping to see at least a bit more focus on him in the full game! EDIT: I also have a third question, not sure if it isn't too late now but I'm gonna try anyway. Lately I've been listening to the Baldi's Basics soundtrack (that's on youtube) a LOT, and I wonder, will it ever be on spotify? Listening to music on youtube is well.. not optimal..

Harma 22

Is the overall scope of the game set in stone or is it considered flexible? Like how you mentioned in the 1st podcast episode how you plan for the game to have minimum 9 Field Trips with a chance for more if it's worth it, is there a 'minium of this and that' list or something similar? Do you plan to talk about this more in detail at some point in the future? This is also putting in coinsideration that there are no plans for any content like new charatcers or level types after 1.0.

MillyNilly

hello mystman! I wanted to ask, will baldi's basics plus ever get multiple endings in the future?

TheNoisyFriedGuy

Do you think that videogame companies like nintendo, playstation, and microsoft ever let you port baldi's basics plus to consoles?

Qwerty

During the 3 Year anniversary Presentation, you mentioned that the reason Classic Remastered was delayed is due to you wanting to add "extra surprises". Due to the game releasing a full year and a half later, I wanted to ask exactly what those things were that took 1.5 years of time? (aside from the obvious ones being the secret messages and everything leading to that)

Graysen Wilson

That is because on a previous kickstarter post, he said that bbcr was only gonna be the surface value. No filename2 boss fight, none of that, but then his scope of development changed. He was also working on 0.3 sub-versions at the time. 0.3.3 - 0.3.7 were released between the announcement and release of bbcr. Hope this helps!

VandalCAT 095

I played an old mod for BB+ called "Infinite Floors" by MissingTextureMan, it was cancelled after the release of BB+ 0.6, do you have plans to make a mode based on that? (I know endless mode exists, but it isn't the same...)

Aamet

There is a chance to see a Birthday Bash vending machine in Plus,so it already exists.

HuntingGardner

I can't seem to link it here, but if you go to the Patreon post for the pre-release for 0.7, there's a comment by user Miles about infinite floors that Mystman replied to, confirming it will probably be added in version 1.0. You have to scroll down a little bit but it is there.

JimJamm

is the red shirt student that shows up on the squished guage the canon design for the player? or are they just a placeholder or stand-in?

Jofitzy

Do you have any plans to add the "Expelling" feature (which was mentioned in Update #3 of the Kickstarter campaign) to BB+ anytime soon? You mentioned it in a Gmail response, but has the idea itself been forgotten or scrapped?

PizzaOnWheels22

While newer versions of BB+ are basically better in every possible way, something I miss about older versions of the game were the randomization of some aspects of the level generation, such as the sizes of the rooms, elevators in certain special rooms, etc., as I felt this added a sense of uniqueness and unpredictability to each room (I also feel like a lot of the premade rooms feel a bit small and crammed together at times). While I know all of these rooms are premade assets now with a few different created variants, would you consider adding back the “randomness” of these rooms, whether it be creating more premade ones, adding back the room generation with a few tweaks, or something else entirely?

DoCheonGong

Do you have any plan to update posters in the game? Most of them are pretty outdated, especially the one with the Big Ol' Boots, although they were changed to Techno-Boots in V0.10.

@88!

What are your favorite items?

BaldiFan99

Do you plan adding the old field trips as legacy thingies?

Bert

What do you think of people making money off of baldi fangames? example: game passes or just donations

AwesomePancake3001

In the 3 year anniversary video you uploaded on the Basically Games Youtube channel, on the back of your monitor there appears to be that smiling Baldi with teeth image a friend of mine made a long time ago, is it what I think it is and is it still there?

BaldiFan99

Do you plan adding the pre-made endless medium map only like for testing, adding the Pencil Boy, adding the other non-canon characters like Bladder, Null, Crazy Baby, Placeface and all of the others like secrets and the TEST MAPS of the other versions? Or it could be in a separate game like "Baldi's Basics Test Branch"! It's only a suggestion

BaldiFan99

Do you plan changing the README.txt file because it says that Bully blocks the player but not the other characters, and since 0.4 it's outdated, so consider changing it

BaldiFan99

Will you ever add Big Ol' Boots again but with a different mechanic? Like the Techno-Boots are the same as Big Ol' Boots but Gotta Sweep still sweeps you and with Big Ol' Boots Gotta Sweep doesn't sweep you, like the poster of "Janitors must wear boots when sweeping!" And the presents of BBBB (Birthday Bash) in a mode of all the items shuffled and a mode of all the items are only on vending machines.

Pencilbert 3D

When you lose a round of Baldis basics and lose all 3 tubes, will there be a special thing that happens or maybe a song / extra secret level that has a low chance that you are thinking of adding? It would be kinda cool!

QTM

After the full version of Baldi's Basics Plus is released, will the ending of the game be prohibited from being recorded like the Touhou series to prevent spoilers (especially some special or secret endings, if any)?

Marsaus

What will the farm field trip look like? When will it be revamped? I've been waiting for 1 year. I hope you awnser me Mystman.

Marsaus

Why did you make the item text small? (Reposted)

SatinFoil

Im pretty sure he mentioned in a podcast already that he’s considering adding a second type of endless mode that is infinite floors

SatinFoil

For the field trip one, you can run a steam depot download to download 0.1.x-0.2.x, and those versions will have the old field trips (farm and camping). (And 0.3.8 for 2nd rendition of farm and camping)

SatinFoil

For the bigger question, I think he already said he doesn’t know but there’s now a light at the end of the tunnel. I am interested in whether he’ll add big updates after 1.0 but I think it will probably be minor updates. And for the kickstarter question, I feel the same way, but most game devs don’t redistribute old builds unfortunately. Would be cool though!

Pencilbert 3D

me too, but it will all probrably be answered soon!

Nerd Pig

Why did you add some of the structures from floors 4 & 5 to Floors 2 & 3? Some I think could work well but things like the faculty-only super/lockdown doors kinda feel unfair & just annoying in those floors.

Erik

He talked a bit about that idea in the last episode of the podcast! I suppose you can find your answer there!

Red Raven

Will you give us access to the steam version if the pre-releases, and possibly archive all of the demos?

BaldiFan99

Will you ever make the 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 pre releases and the Kickstarter Exclusive Demo ever available, like to preserve it along time (because they are outdated of version as of now)?

Pencilbert 3D

Question: Hey, I’ve got another question! Would you ever consider adding a special play mode with infinite tubes? It wouldn’t contribute to game progress—just something fun and low-pressure where players can freely test things out. I thought it’d be neat if, when you win, Baldi gives a randomized lecture with tips or advice on how to survive longer and play more cautiously. Bug Note: Also, I noticed that if you save and quit, you can still change the play style (like from Hide and Seek to Explorer) and modifiers from the main menu, and those changes carry over when you continue. Maybe it would make more sense if those settings were locked until you start a new game?

BaldiFan99

Will you ever make the digital goodies from the Kickstarter available when the final project (BB+) is finished, again, for preservation and legacy purposes?

BaldiFan99

Will you ever make a podcast only to answer questions of patrons and Kickstarter backers?

BaldiFan99

Will you ever talk about what you plan for other future versions of BB+?

BaldiFan99

Will you ever make every single version of every single game and demo (including Kickstarter) available, AGAIN, for legacy purposes after Baldi's Basics Plus is finished and no longer being an early access game?

BaldiFan99

I mean, not only to talk about the future of BB+ and then the questions, I am talking about a podcast when the entire thing of 1 hour is only answering questions.

Pencilbert 3D

Floor 3 is WAYY WAYY WAYY WAYY WAYY HARDER THEN FLOOR 5, will you switch them around to make it easier, or add any buffs for the player on floor 3? Everyone could simultaneously agree that it needs a nerf, or even make floor 1 harder for the expense of 3? This is a change lots of people could love and agree on, and everytime i beat floor 3 by an inch, i always win after that. I just think that there should be a challenge aspect to floor 5 as 3 has all the style's special features, largest map in the game, fewer ways to escape too. Just a little thought.

BaldiFan99

When is the Farm Field Trip coming?

Aaron Sartin

do you think you will ever add the classic map or the full game public demo schoolhouse into bb+ as a few cool custom maps to play?

Shifty Mungus

I extremely doubt Micah would do it

Paula Gillie

I wonder why were debug rooms green instead of green blue and red and have letters?

GregTheBPlayer

F5 is for me easier all because of that I save the most expensive items for that floor. Without it F3 is way easier than F5, unless you have a factory F5, then it's way easier than F3

Cecil Clay

Is NINENINE secret making a comeback on 9/9/2025?

DarkSky

Hello, Basically Games! I have an important question regarding Baldi's Basics, and its fangames, especially on Roblox. Are gamepasses (DLCs/In-app purchases) okay? Basically, something purchasable in-game using Robux (Roblox's virtual currency, which is bought with real currency) or real currency. And if so, to what extent? Like, are donation gamepasses (gamepasses that give no perks and are only for donations to the dev of the fangame) okay? Are gamepasses that give the player a perk okay, (E.g., BSODA gamepass that starts the player off with 1 BSODA each round)? And are non-Baldi-related gamepasses okay, too? Such as an admin panel gamepass in a Baldi's Basics fangame, since admin panels do not exist in actual Baldi's Basics games, unless you count Debug Mode, which is similar in a way but way less powerful. What if the admin panel gave you the power to spawn Baldi or other characters? Would that change things, too? Also, are people allowed to have a gamepass that gives them a pre-release of said fangame, or offer a pre-release of the fangame with the purchase of another gamepass for said game? And finally, with all of this in mind, are subscriptions also allowed, such as making the pre-release gamepass subscription-based instead of a one-time purchase like you do? As a bonus question, what if a YouTuber who also had a Baldi's Basics fangame offered pre-releases to their fangame or other in-game perks to paying channel members, would that be allowed too? Since channel memberships are separate from the game, but could offer perks regarding the fangame.

Mirror_MAN

Will Johnny's store get it's own theme music?? +Are floors 1-3 the exact same aesthetic now? Because the last few times I've played they have all tge same style (same walls and floor)
