Hello everyone!

My apologies for taking so long to post episode 5 of the Basically Games podcast. Some of you may know that I came down with a cold in August, so that combined with just being busier than normal resulted in me never getting around to recording episode 5.

Because of the delay, I figured I'd lump both 0.11 and 0.12 into the discussion of the next podcast episode, and since some of you may want to ask questions related to 0.12 I figured I'd make another post for more questions!

So if you have any new questions, please post them as comments to this post and I'll answer a few of them in the podcast. Please do not post any questions you've already posted to the previous 0.5 questions post. This post should be used for new questions only.

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.

this is more of just a regular fun question but have you had any dreams about baldi and the other characters

Friend Arin

Do you think anymore characters will be getting full reworks like with what The Test got?

Pencilbert 3D

When are you planning to add the farm, And will the minigames be more difficult?

JimJamm

can you say anything about 99?? or about what was posted on 9/9?

Kirb0_

A big part of what made classic’s map so iconic to me was the cafeteria stretching into the sky, will BB+ ever be able to generate rooms that are vertically bigger?

Erik

Yay! Finally some news about the episode! I was starting to worry. I don't have much questions about the 0.12 update (at least can't think of any right now), but I'm wondering, do you have a favorite song about Baldi's Basics? Staying on a similar topic, I love all the Baldi's Basics animation memes and I would really love to know if you have a favorite one!

kal

Hey Mystman! First of all I wanted to say I love Baldi's Basics Plus and the amount of love and care put into it. I'm very excited for future updates and the full release!! Anyhow I've been wondering if you've ever considered adding individual buttons to the elevator in the explorer play style of hide and seek which when pressed would take the player to the floor labelled on the button instead of the explorer play style being fully linear like normal hide and seek. I feel like this would be good for players who want to either explore newly added content without having to go through lots of floors, or practice strategizing for floors they could possibly be struggling with without Baldi being a threat unlike endless mode where he is a threat.

Nerd Pig

Is the game looking so empty right now going to be fixed by 1.0? Like is there going to be more wall textures, floor textures, ceiling textures, more props, etc? Like just more variety in general (both for new and for already existing content/level types)? Cause right now the game's quite bland looking (Especially in the schoolhouse type) and that's a major concern of mine. If you do plan to add more decor to the game, will it be in the near-future or saved for 1.0?

TheJerkChicken99

Not really a 0.12 related question, but still wanted to ask. Is Baldi saying “What fun! Goo-“ in floors 4 and onwards a placeholder and do you have plans on making him say something else when we first enter floor 4 and onwards or is that what he is going to say from here on out? Also, why does he say, the “Goo-“ part in the voiceline? Was the original voiceline (if there is one) cut for time or something? Do not know if you already explained that, correct me if I am wrong. Huge fan of your game, by the way.

Erik

Hi, I think you already posted the first question on the previous Ep. 5 questions post! And as it's written here: "Please do not post any questions you've already posted to the previous 0.5 questions post. This post should be used for new questions only."

Aamet

Will we be able to change the files of the game directly for modding or changing the textures?

Sacro

What was your inpiration(s) to make the Balloon Buster and Match Machine Activities?

Red Raven

Are you gonna give us the Kickstarter demos? Or just give us the steam key for the prerelease because of Download_depot. I have been wanting this version ever since I heard about it around 2020. Other people would appreciate DONT READ THE PART BELOW IN THE PODCAST! I know you said not to repost, but I wanted to reword it because my previous question never answered why I wanted the key so bad, and also because I was about a week late in the conversation. And OOF! I hope that cold wasn’t a big pain in terms of life itself! Also, great job not pausing the game itself, because as a Unity developer (a slightly new programmer) myself, I know how it is very difficult to keep working until it’s done.

Holden H

In the new match machine activity, there is a cameo of your dog Gibby. Because of this, are there any plans to introduce your older characters as cameos? Also, will there be any content from BB Classic/Birthday Bash that could be added to Plus? Some examples could be replacing the random reward from the Party event with a present from Birthday Bash (which could still give the same items you currently get from the event, it just fits well with the party theme), or having a rare chance of a class room/faculty room being one from Classic, as long as it doesn't include potential softlocks. I love the idea of finding a rare room from BB Classic, it would make those runs more interesting for people like me who love seeing old ideas/content brought back as rare occurrences.

Red Raven

It would be better if there was a Mods folder instead

Aamet

Yep thats better

Pencilbert 3D

Will you ever add a character called Rebeka P to plus?

COMMANDBOI

I’m like 90% sure someone has already asked this before but will BBCR demo style be updated to 0.12?

lame dan

you should get baldi on the podcast as a guest and have him answer questions alongside you if hes okay with it

leafling in da sunset

This was a question I asked for Episode 3. One of my favorite aspects of BB are the multiple art styles (3D models, poorly drawn drawings, real life pictures, and now clay). I have to ask, how do you decide what art style each object, character, item, etc should be?

hopja

With the introduction of all these cool new items to combat the game's rising difficulty, will older items (like the Principal's Whistle) get revisited to have more usage in the future? Or will these remain as "dud" items for most players?

Logdrew

Is the vertical slice build you've talked about something that will ever be shown to the public? (either as a video, executable, whatever). I'd be really interested in seeing it from both as a player and from a game development point of view.

Graysland

the most unserious BB+ fan

Radamaaa

Will Student Shuffle have students walking animations?

Pencilbert 3D

Hey, I am SUPER DUPER serious about this man.

Radamaaa

Why not only change the balloons for Ballon Buster and keep the 2d drawn balloons for other things

burger person

What is your recommended method for dealing with Student Shuffle? I’ve struggled with dealing with the event and would like Mr. McGonigal’s advice himself

burger person

Ooooh good question, was actually wondering this

burger person

I know I posted a question earlier, but I want to ask, have you heard of the fan animation “Fundamental Paper Education” based on the iconic “Basics in Behavior” song, and what do you think of it? I know it’s a bit of an off topic question but genuinely curious

The Riddle Goblin

Was the twitter post on 9/9 hinting towards another puzzle or being an actual puzzle. Or was it just a little teaser and commemoration of the NINENINE secret last year. I mainly ask this because if it is a puzzle, we don’t know where to start.

Before I present my questions, I just want to tell you again to read my email (it's on Gmail). Yet again, it contains a lot of feedback that I think might be useful for the game, (I accidentally sent it by pressing Enter so this is WIP) 1. What'd you say to the backlash that Student Shuffle has recently gotten for being obnoxiously hard to deal with? (Don't have to read past this) I suggest toning it down, like decreasing the amount of students and/or adding a distance between them, like 1 tile. 2. Why did you change the stamina from activities from notebooks to completing them? Personally, I think that's it's an unnecessary change (alongside alerting Baldi after failing Playtime's minigame, and (not sure about it but people think so) randomized items in the same seed), and many others agree. (Don't have to read past this) Firstly, activityless notebooks don't give stamina in Floor 1 and Endless Small Schoolhouse, which makes it feel slower. Also, getting problems wrong, especially in the new, harder, activities, already makes Baldi faster, so you don't even need to have no stamina from the notebook.

Baldi 25000

in the baldis basics full game public demo when you got 2 exists, all other characters would dissapear and baldi would be super fast and always know your exact location. was this for the lights out/ timer thingy?

M GAngelPlus

Will Faculty Nametag item have a sound when you use it for a future update?

Wyref

when adding new features into the game, have you even taken inspiration from mods?

Liam Farmer

Will there be more types of rooms? Like a gym, a music room, an art room and other stuff like that?

Graysen Wilson

How many floors are planned for the full release? Like can you give an estimated guess? Same with characters. You previously said 25, but that number very well could've changed.

Graysen Wilson

I just camp a corner until it's over

Aaron Sartin

i have 2 questions, question 1: do you haves plans to change the classic baldi sprites anywhere in plus's development? question 2: after baldi's basics plus is fully out, do you plan on making more baldi's basics games with lore in them afterword's?

Memes Overhead

Will baldis angry camping sprite ever come back?

Memes Overhead

verticalness in plus just seems like itll be fun

HaDerpo

already asked a question last time but a quick one now is gibby and bubs friends or do they fight

VandalCAT 095

I love BB+ and all, but what are the farm trip minigames going to be like? (and have you developed any concepts?)

Troy Bederlian

Mystman12, why did you change the camp trip and the farm trip minigames? Is the camp trip minigame the final version in Version 0.12 or is it going to changed?

Gabboredsom22

Will the farm have multiple minigames like the camping field trip or will it only be as in one whole minigame?

DoCheonGong

Baldi's smiling before chasing after the player was removed in V0.10, but the reason is not stated anywhere. Is it intended?

MillyNilly

hey mystman! I've noticed a lot of sprites that were either 2d drawings or real life pictures have been changed into 3d models instead, such as the balloons in this recent update. Is this something you plan on continuing to do with your other sprites, like let's say for example the payphone

Noelle (RanDUMBness)

He already said each field trip will have at least 2 mini games.

Noelle (RanDUMBness)

He already talking a LOT about this in the podcast I think it was episode 1

Nour

When Floor 6 releases, would Floor 5 get a new mechanic to make things harder? I'm asking this because Floor 5 doesn't really have anything unique going on there besides the 9 Notebooks in late game Level Types and the 2 Locked Faculty Rooms.

SatinFoil

Repeat of an old question: For some of the characters that are rough around the edges in comparison to the design style now (like playtime), do you plan on revamping their designs or are they too iconic?

MesharBaldiBP

What are you planning to do for the next V0.13 update? (I just have no idea of the questions. Ever T_T)

Shabble Dabble

The tutorial is supposed to introduce new players to the basic mechanics of the game like movement and interacting with objects, which are essential knowledge for understanding the rest of the game. Once the player understands the basic controls, they can then discover the rest of the features in the game by themselves. Forcing the player to learn as they go makes the game a lot more interesting!

ComedicCat (she/they)

In the new Match Machine activity, one of the possible balloons you have to match is Gibby from one of your old games, Wher's Gibby. Do you intend on recycling anything else from the Epic Entertainment days for BB+?

BaldiFan99

I have seen a door with Beans's gum on it, but when I opened it, it (obviously) doesn't have Beans's gum on the sprite. Do you plan adding one for a future version?

VPZ

what collabs would you be interested in doing? (ex: fortnite, minecraft, etc.)

Graysen Wilson

He said that 0.11 onwards would be smaller

Shifty Mungus

Since you were working on a proper game design document during that long hiatus between V0.3 and V0.4. I want to know, was there anything you scrapped, changed, etc from your initial idea to the game design document

Max

what do you think of plus mods? level editor, etc. do you plan on implementing a way to officially manage modding?

Harma 22

What's the thought process behind balancing the game's difficulty? Would be nice to know how it's actually handled.

GrainyWayGalxay

What was your favorite level type to make?

Graysen Wilson

PLEASE decrease the duration of student shuffle. I've had entire rounds end because it went on for so long

Elite Guardian

What is your approach going to be to version control? Will you increase by 0.01 every time or change after a certain time? If it's going to pan out the way I think it will the game may take (99) years to finish

Albi Gjyliqi

when will baldi's basics classic remastered still be releasing on phone? If so, when?

FuzzBunny

Do you still have any of the old props that you used for the game? Ex: Arts & Crafters puppet, Principals clothes or even Dr Reflexes clay model?

TheJerkChicken99

The original Dr. Reflex model was obliterated.

LucasTV

Why did you remove the saloon walls from hallways in 0.10?

Just Baldi

Will you continue making Baldi content after plus is finished? I don’t think id be the only one to want to see more of him after then, but it find but you want to end it off there.

BaldiFan99

The Sprites are on the Faculty Only rooms, but I thought the Sprite was completely removed, but It IS still present, but the reason It has been removed for walls in the entire floor, idk hehe.

BaldiFan99

He Will not say, It depends

Jofitzy

Have you seen the web series People Still Live Here by Kane Pixels? If you have, what are your thoughts on it?

Lob5ter

Are there any plans to release BBCR and/or BB+ for VR platforms?

Blox_Times

i actually asked him this a while ago through email, he said that he would love to but he doesn’t have the time/resources to do it, in his exact quote, “ VR support falls into the category of things I'd love to do, but realistically do not have the time and resources to do at this time. Maybe after Plus is finished I can reevaluate, because again, I'd love to do it!” i haven’t listened to the podcast yet so he might’ve answered this, but i’m just throwing it out there.

BaldiFan99

mystman12 can you answer these questions on the pod cast 1:will you upload the 0.4,0.5 and 0.6 pre-releases? and 2. will you upload the kickstarter demo builds?
