Basically Games Podcast: Episode 1
Added 2024-10-21 20:02:33 +0000 UTCHey everyone, here's the first episode of the podcast! It's a bit rough around the edges, but I hope you'll all enjoy giving it a listen and learning a bit more about the development of Baldi's Basics. I'd appreciate any feedback y'all might have regarding the production! I intend to keep things simple but I'm sure there's room for improvement.
This episode mainly focuses on Baldi's Basics Plus 0.7 and the field trips that were introduced in that version.
Note that the podcast itself is public, but questions are reserved for Patreon members and Kickstarter backers. I'll make a post dedicated to asking questions for the next episode about a week after the public release of version 0.8. If you asked a question that wasn't answered in this episode, feel free to ask again when I make that post!

2025-09-13 22:59:53 +0000 UTCI'm pretty intrigued by Mrs. Pomp being a head on a high-heeled shoe! How did you come up with her design? Also, Baldi's Basics is one of my favorite video games ever! Ha ha!

2024-11-15 20:39:26 +0000 UTCOooo I see, yeah that would make the most sense honestly. It would be cool to have early access running though. Would rake in some extra funds for the game.

2024-11-12 04:37:35 +0000 UTCPretty sure he mentioned ports would be after launch so he can finish the game then worry on ports after.

2024-11-10 03:02:29 +0000 UTCI got a few questions you could maybe answer: This is a very stupid question and I may be the only one, but I actually need to make sure you see this one. 1. Would you EVER consider a Fortnite Collaboration? Because I would genuinely buy the entire set just to run around the Island as Baldi😭 Epic games does Indie Collabs from time to time so it may be possible if you reach out maybe... 2. Will you ever discuss or show off unused/cut content? I think it would be really cool to hear about it :3 3. This one isn't really a question, but I think it would be cool if you did these podcasts in video form so there's a visual to see. Although that may be more work then its worth so... 4. Would you ever bring on the other voice actors to the podcast? I think it would be cool to hear from them too. 5. Is there any chance you release BB+ to Xbox Early Access? Or is your only plans to release it when its fully finished? Also what platforms are you considering releasing on? That's all I really got for now, I'll add more if I think of any. Thank you for answering if you do end up answering these^^

2024-11-08 05:42:22 +0000 UTCOh yeah, I just read. He had some rodent invaders. Maybe he could make a random event in which rodents invade the school to steal stuff from the school.

2024-11-05 21:15:51 +0000 UTCI've also been thinking it was coming out today, maybe it's delayed by a day but who knows...
Phoenix Cloud
2024-11-05 01:43:56 +0000 UTCWell, pre-releases usually release in the morning of Mondays, so I've been losing hope that this one will release today. Maybe tomorrow or so instead. (I literally can't wait for the pre-release)
Anonymous
2024-11-04 21:21:18 +0000 UTCI did theorize that is would come today because each prerelease so far has released on a Monday
Sebastian
2024-11-04 21:08:58 +0000 UTCWhen are you releasing the first 0.8 pre-release? It's already November 4th, and you promised to release it in early November. I can't wait to play it.

2024-11-04 16:17:48 +0000 UTCThanks for somewhat answering my question I guess! I've got some more: 1. How did you manage to convince your sister to scream into the mic for Mrs. Pomp's angry state, and do you have any plans to invite her on the podcast as well as your brother? 2. What was the main inspiration for Dr. Reflex's design in both BB+ and the Baldimore Comics. Some people claim it's from Wallace & Gromit, is this true? 3. Do you have any plans to add the Expelling feature that you mentioned in an old Kickstarter post? 4. Do you have any plans to use your GameBanana account for anything? (Coding, Modding, etc.)

2024-11-03 22:05:35 +0000 UTCWill you update Classic Remastered close to or after Version 1.0 of Plus' release? With all the updates Plus is recieving, Classic Remastered is starting to feel outdated.
MiloCyrus2008
2024-11-03 17:27:51 +0000 UTCLook, all the features in those pre-release buldis are already out for you to play in the last update. So there's no point in demanding for them.
Jofitzy
2024-11-03 15:26:04 +0000 UTCMy suggestion for future podcasts: have more fun with it. Messing around + trying random things is a good way to make it entertaining for both you and the audience.
CatRosalina
2024-10-29 20:53:45 +0000 UTCWhat will you do if you have an idea for Baldi's Basics after BB+ 1.0? Will you add it in another game. I heard that 1.0 will be the final major update.
Graysen Wilson
2024-10-25 18:40:27 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed hearing your perspective on stuff as a game developer. I love seeing how you process things and your original ideas on how some mechanics would work out. A lot of fun seeing how you see incentive and how a player would think. Next up, the Talk Tuah Podcast!
Graysland
2024-10-24 01:30:26 +0000 UTCThis is a wild thought, but you mentioned that the camping mini games were addictive (which they totally are, you did a fantastic job). I could only imagine how addictive they'd be if they were mobile games😂
Mirror_MAN
2024-10-22 15:25:25 +0000 UTCmystman12 please respond if you can but can you please upload the 0.4,0.5 and 0.6 pre-releases and the kickstarter builds(1.0,1.1 and 1.2) (non-cracked)?
Johnnie V.
2024-10-22 13:01:44 +0000 UTCThe podcast was a really fun listen! As someone who stares at the games code quite a lot, it was interesting seeing your own perspective on it!
MissingTextureMan101
2024-10-22 06:29:03 +0000 UTCI really like the direction where plus is going with these new ideas especially with the new features being implemented inside V0.8! Though as the game progressively goes on any plans on remaking the trailer and updating the images on both steam and itch pages around the end of development?
Wolfsterz
2024-10-22 04:17:49 +0000 UTCWhat was your concept when creating Principal, and do you later plan to spice up the detention mechanics or you’re satisfied with it as is?
Anihotta Sierra
2024-10-22 03:31:58 +0000 UTCPfft, right, question. I forgot. You mentioned this new music system, and how’d it be superior to the current one, but exactly how so? What would make it so different from the generic midi player? I guess it’s cheating to ask two questions, but will you keep some of the kickstarter tracks in the game? Thank you so much, mystman! (I’m just saving this question here so I don’t forget. I’ll post it on your question post when it appears!)
DexoXeck
2024-10-22 02:57:33 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to educational subjects, will math be the only one? Or can we expect to see some other subjects, whether it's in the main game or as bonus side content?
Piichy San
2024-10-22 02:57:03 +0000 UTCHey, you’re one of the first people to pronounce my name right! Anyways, woah, I appreciate the depth you went into for my question. It’s gonna be tough topping off the minigame track you got, but I’m sure you could totally do it.
DexoXeck
2024-10-22 02:54:59 +0000 UTCYeah I think maybe some quite music might be a good idea. Also why not slap this up on youtube?

2024-10-22 01:36:28 +0000 UTCI had always thought The Test’s behavior was a reference to “keep your eyes on the test”
Logdrew
2024-10-22 01:00:41 +0000 UTCIdea for multiplayer: make it like a Party game where each person starts at the elevator, but every round, the schoolhouse is generated. When it's generated, every player has 1:30 minutes to get as many notebooks as they can. Whoever gathers the most noteboos gets to play a minigame, and if they win, they get 100 YTPs. If they fail, Baldi catches them and they cant go into the next notebook hunt. First one to 1000 YTPs first wins! Minigames could be like quick math or jump roping at different intervals. Items can also pop up, like a Diet BSODA to push people from getting notebooks.
Graysen Wilson
2024-10-22 00:29:44 +0000 UTCalso some feedback i had was maybe you can have some soundtracks playing in the background like the kickstarter ost or soundtracks that exist ingame so it isn’t that silent

2024-10-22 00:23:20 +0000 UTCThis was so fun to listen to! I love learning more about game development and what goes through your mind when adding or revising features for Baldi's Basics +. Very excited for the next podcast, and also for v0.8!
WhatsDown
2024-10-21 23:24:28 +0000 UTCThis is might be what you are already doing, but have a checklist of everything you want to cover and check this off when you finish it. This could help prevent the mistake with your first recording where you repeated things a lot

2024-10-21 23:14:44 +0000 UTCThanks for answering my question! I was grinning from ear to ear when I you mentioned that you got a question about Cloudy Copter :D
leafling in da sunset
2024-10-21 22:43:37 +0000 UTCYAY I GOT MY QUESTION ANSWERED. 9 field trips are way more than I expected, of course that's not for sure but still!
Phoenix Cloud
2024-10-21 22:06:43 +0000 UTCDo you have a link to this Microsoft music making program that you used for the Camping music? I would love to try it out for myself!
Dark Sky
2024-10-21 21:32:43 +0000 UTCI accidentally found out about the music producer thingy as you might've seen before. I was absolutely panicking when I found it out too. It's very interesting how you said you were going to redo the midi playback system too, I wonder how that might work once you do...
saintza4
2024-10-21 21:01:19 +0000 UTCOmg I didn't know you like speedy eggbert! Certainly if you intend to do something similar to the songs from that game, the end result will certainly be incredible. (i love that game soo)
Ethan Standish
2024-10-21 20:59:13 +0000 UTCit was definitely a good idea to keep field trips as one-button-clicking 2d minigames and at the same time more fun. Not having to go on a trip during a chase with a bald guy at a super schoolhouse makes playing them really enjoyable, relaxing and fun. (the addition of the pit stop changed the game forever, in a great way)
