- August 2026 Status Update - 1 August 2026
Hey everyone!I'm back to post another quick status update! As has been the case for the past few, I can't share a ton of specifics as I've mostly been working on top secret Plus 1.0 content, but I still wanted to touch base with you all. Before that though, I've got a special announcement to make...Playtime Plushie from MakeshipI've teamed up with Makeship yet again, this time to do a plushie of Playtime! I'm really happy with how this one turned out. When working with the design team, I opted to lean a bit more on the funny side than I have with previous plushies, so she ended up totally bald on the back of her head! When considering other options I couldn't help but feel that the thin hairline was just right considering the scribbly MS-PAINT sprites she has.The plushie also comes with a detachable jump rope, so it can be displayed with or without it.If you'd like to purchase the Playt…
- Version 0.14.5 is available now! - 17 July 2026
Hey everyone!I'm happy to announce the Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.14.5 is now available! This is a very small update that fixes a few more bugs, including a couple of pretty big ones introduced in 0.14.4. My apologies for the issues! This version should be much more stable.ChangelogChangesAdded the principal whistle to the pool of items that can be dispensed by a crazy vending machine.Student Shuffle crowds are now culled when they are in culled chunks, which should help improve performance during the event.Bug FixesFixed an issue which made it impossible to use items in the Grapple ChallengeUpdated the Explorer Style description so that it no longer incorrectly states that you cannot save in the mode.Fixed a bug which caused Student Shuffle students to close lockdown doors after passing by them.Fixed a bug which caused an error to occur and be logged when quitting a level while a gr…
- Version 0.14.4 is available now! - 14 July 2026
Hey everyone!I'm happy to announce the Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.14.4 is now available! This update fixes several bugs that were in the game, primarily bugs introduced in the last few updates. Thank you all for reporting these issues!ChangelogChangesChanged the voice sample that plays when changing the volume of voices in the settings.Saving and quitting is now enabled while playing in explorer mode.When the fog event is ending, NPCs now regain their full visibility distance after the fog is totally clear, rather than the moment it begins to disappear.Added chalk erasers, super stretchy gloves, faculty nametags and invisibility elixirs to the pool of items that can be dispensed by a crazy vending machine.Bug FixesFixed map marker icons not expanding when highlighted.Fixed an issue where Baldi's sound queue would be cleared when getting sent to detention or teleported by Arts & Craft…
- Version 0.14.3 is available now! - 24 June 2026
Hey everyone!While I've been hard at work on super secret 1.0 specific stuff, I found some time to release another small update for the early access. The focus of 0.14.3 is primarily to rework Student Shuffle as that event was problematic for numerous reasons. Aside from being way too chaotic (Which was, admittedly, pretty funny!) it was also horribly optimized and so it negatively impacted performance.In 0.14.3, Student Shuffle now spawns one line of students instead of multiple. However this one line is really long, so it will still cover a lot of the map! In order to improve performance, I've also changed it so that each group of students is no longer an entity, except for the leader. They have been simplified as much as possible. Rather than relying on collision to determine how entities get pushed around by the students, the event now uses entity positions and checks that against t…
- June 2026 Status Update - 1 June 2026
Hey everyone!It's been a couple of months since the last status update, so now it's time for another! Even though things are quieter right now, I still intend to stay in touch throughout the rest of Baldi's Basics Plus' development through these status updates. This time around I won't have much to share, but I still want to let you all know what's been going on over the past couple of months!Baldi's Basics Plus Early Access DevelopmentSince the last status update, Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.14.2 was released. This was another minor update with plenty of fixes and little improvements to the game! Since then I've done a bit more work that will be pushed out in version 0.14.3 sometime in the near future.That said, my focus has been elsewhere (The horizontal slice and MOISE) since 0.14.2 released, which I'll discuss below, so despite the time that has passed since then you can still exp…
- Version 0.14.2 is available now! - 20 April 2026
Hey everyone!I'm happy to announce that version 0.14.2 of Baldi's Basics Plus is available now! This is another quality of life update, with the most notable change being that control maps are now saved per-save file, instead of all save files sharing one. This fix was long overdue, but I finally got around to it!As mentioned in a post from a few days ago, these changes mean that control maps from previous versions of the game will not carry over, so please be sure to make a note of or screenshot your current controls so that you can easily reassign them to your liking after updating.I also mentioned in that post that I had plans to change the default control settings for controllers. However, after looking over the feedback on my proposed defaults, I've decided to hold off for a bit to try and find something better. All default controls will remain the same in 0.14.2 as they were in pr…
- NOTICE: Saved control maps will reset in 0.14.2! - 16 April 2026
Hey everyone!I've got a quick announcement concerning the release of Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.14.2, which will be releasing soon (Most likely on Monday, April 20)! Among other things, this update will change the way control maps are saved so that they can be saved per-save file, instead of all files having to share the same control map. Because of this change, control maps saved from the previous versions of the game will not be carried over (With the exception of custom Steam Input maps; See below).In order to make the transition to the new system as smooth as possible, I recommend taking a moment to write down or screenshot your current controls so that you can more easily re-assign them to be what you are used to when 0.14.2 releases.Alongside this change the default control scheme for controllers may change as well, so even if you are currently using the default control scheme…
- April 2026 Status Update - 2 April 2026
Hello everyone!It looks like I'm due to write up a new status update, so let's jump right into it!BEANS!If you didn't hear, there is a Beans plushie from Makeship available now! There are only a few days left to grab one, so be sure to check it out soon if you'd like one. You can find it on Makeship's website here: https://www.makeship.com/products/beans-plushieEight Years of Baldi's BasicsIt's hard to believe, but a couple days ago Baldi's Basics had its eighth anniversary! I didn't have anything lined up to celebrate, but I did see a lot of awesome fan art for which I'm very thankful. It means a lot that so many of you have stuck around after all this time and that many new fans keep showing up despite how old Baldi's Basics is getting. I can't properly express how much of a blessing it is that I can keep working on this project full time and I'm incredibly thankful to God and to all…
- Version 0.14.1 is available now! PLUS a new Beans plushie! - 21 March 2026
Hello everyone! I'm happy to announce that version 0.14.1 is available now! This update brings a few more quality of life improvements to the game, including a complete overhaul to the central room in the factory levels. Check it out, I'm sure the changes will grab your attention!In other news, a Beans Plushie campaign from Makeship was launched a few weeks ago! This plushie was designed with input from Beans' creator, Padre Snowmizzle, and looks great. The campaign is currently scheduled to end on March 28, so be sure to check it out here before then if you want one.Now onto the changelog!ChangelogChangesReplaced the conveyor belt room in the factory with a new crane room.Several cranes randomly move around in this room. Whenever one moves over an entity, it will pick up the entity and then drop it onto one of the available output conveyor belts.The conveyor belt flaps are now placed a…
- Version 0.14 is available now! - 2 March 2026
Hello everyone!I'm happy to announce that Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.14 is now available to download! This update brings many quality of life improvements, balance changes and bug fixes to the game. As discussed in previous status updates, this will likely be the last major update for the foreseeable future as I shift my focus to 1.0 specific development. In the meantime however, I plan on releasing several 0.14 sub-versions with more minor improvements in order to make sure the early access version plays as well as possible during the wait for the next major update!The full changelog can be viewed below, but there is one really big new change that I want to point out. I significantly improved the code that controls elevators in levels, and while doing so I took the opportunity to make a mechanical change as well. You now have to press a button inside the elevator to finish a level!…
- Beginning of 2026 Status Update - 2 February 2026
Hey everyone!I'm here with a quick status update about what's been going on with Baldi's Basics Plus' development lately. There's not much to talk about this time around, so let's dive straight into development updates!Development Update!...There are no development updates.Okay okay, I'm kidding, but the reality is I've been pretty busy with more business-y stuff since the last status update. For a full rambly rundown, you can check out the latest episode of the Basically Games Podcast, but essentially, in December Nayan and I were working on preparing our pitch for publishers while I also got version 0.13.1 ready. I took some (In hindsight, much needed) time off around the holidays, and then I spent most of January doing graphic design work for our pitch deck. It always frustrates me when responsibilities prevent me from doing game development work for any extended period of time, but…
- Version 0.13.1 is available now! - 22 December 2025
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!I'm happy to announce that Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.13.1 is available now! This is a small patch to address several issues with stickers as they launched in version 0.13, as well as to fix a handful of bugs. The biggest changes include improvements to the sticker inventory and stickers only lasting for five notebooks in endless mode. I also added some info on stickers to the tutorial!ChangelogAdditionsThe tutorial now features info on how stickers work.ChangesCollected stickers are now displayed in two columns instead of one.Applied stickers can now be viewed any time during a game through the map menu. However, stickers can still only be modified with the Packet-O-Matic.Stickers now stack when there are multiple of the same sticker. A number is displayed next to stacked stickers to show how many of that sticker you currently have.In endl…
- Version 0.14 & End of 2025 Status Update - 3 December 2025
Hello everyone, I hope all who celebrate had a great Thanksgiving!For this status update, I've decided to combine my 0.14 plans with a look back on 2025 and my plans moving forward into 2026, so there will be a lot to cover!Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.14Firstly, my plan is for version 0.14 to be an update focused on bug fixes, balancing and QOL improvements. For real this time! This is something I had initially planned to do about a year ago, but that update ended up focused on the tutorial, which I think was the right move at the time. Now more than ever though I feel the game is in need of a polish focused update. This timing works out quite well too, as stickers were the last major new feature I planned on adding during the early access period. This means that, once most existing issues are taken care of, there shouldn't be many major new issues popping up in future updates. So 0.1…
- Version 0.13 is available now! - 12 November 2025
Hello everyone! I'm happy to announce that version 0.13 of Baldi's Basics Plus is now available! My apologies for the delays on this one. The new feature, stickers, which I'll discuss further below, went through some major changes based on feedback from the first pre-release. I spent a lot of time pondering how best to implement stickers, and with all the changes I needed to make in the last couple weeks to get it ready for the public release, things certainly didn't go as smoothly as usual. That, combined with other responsibilities and traveling to visit family over the last weekend, led to more delays than I was hoping for. I think things ended up in a pretty good place however, even if there are a few loose ends that I didn't have time to tie up, but I opted to get the update out now instead of delaying it further. Stickers Version 0.13 is all about stickers! These can be purchased…
- A new gameplay trailer has just released! - 24 October 2025
Hello everyone! I just wanted to share that Baldi's Basics Plus has just gotten a brand new gameplay trailer!

- Version 0.12.2 is available now! - 3 October 2025
Hello everyone! Today I'm releasing a small patch to Baldi's Basics Plus that address the recently discovered security vulnerability that exists in applications built with versions 2017.1 and later of the Unity engine (Not including the now patched versions). This includes Baldi's Basics Plus, which was made with Unity 2020.3.38f. Don't worry, there's no need to panic! There's currently no evidence of this vulnerability being exploited, and safeguards against this vulnerability have already been implemented by certain parties, such as Microsoft via Windows Defender. As always, please be sure you keep all software, including your operating system, up-to-date with the latest security updates and exercise caution when downloading files online. As for the applications themselves, such as Baldi's Basics Plus, Unity has rolled out fixes for the security vulnerability which developers can now…
- Version 0.12.1 is available now! - 15 September 2025
Hello everyone!Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.12.1 has just released! This update brings a few small changes alongside some bug fixes. The full changelog can be viewed below.But first, just another reminder that the 2.0 Edition Angry Baldi plushie from Makeship is still available for a few more days! You can check it out here. If you want one, be sure to order before it's gone!ChangelogChangesAll entity animators now have their speed multiplied by the relative time scale. For example, Dr. Reflex's animations will slow down or speed up depending on how The Test has affected time.Propagated audio sources can now have priority values assigned. This is used to ensure certain sounds are always audible over other sounds.BSODA, nana peel and grappling hook entities now copy the player's status when spawned. This means they will be flipped or squished if the player is either of those when used.B…
- Version 0.12 is available now! PLUS the Angry Baldi plushie returns! - 1 September 2025
Hello everyone! Today marks the release of Baldi's Basics Plus version 0.12! This isn't a huge update, but it adds some cool new content! Two new activities, Balloon Buster and the Match Machine, have been added. You'll need to complete these alongside Math Machines to get notebooks. Two new random events, Student Shuffle and Balder Dash, have also been added! These events will add a bit more chaos to the game, so stay prepared!Alongside these additions there are also a handful of QOL improvements and bug fixes, which will be detailed in the changelog below.Just a reminder that this update is relatively small due to the fact that I've begun focusing much of my development time on future development, which is stuff that won't really be seen until version 1.0 is released. I still intend to finish a "horizontal slice" version of the game by the end of the year, which is what I'm now callin…
- Version 0.12 Status Update: Baldi's Basics Plus now has a producer! - 30 July 2025
Hello everyone!I hope you all have been enjoying the improvements I brought to endless mode in version 0.11. Today I'd like to bring you all a status update with a sneak peak at version 0.12, but first I've got some very big news to share!Baldi's Basics Plus now has a producer!As I've mentioned in previous status updates, I'd begun searching for a producer/project manager. Primarily to help me get a publisher for Baldi's Basics Plus, but also to help keep things on track and wrap up the project within a reasonable amount of time. Well I'm happy to announce that Nayan Ramachandran has been brought onto the project to fill that role!Nayan has had several years of experience within the video game industry, specifically working with independent game developers. With his experience I believe he will be a huge help in getting Baldi's Basics Plus a good publisher and, ultimately, finished!We'v…
- Version 0.11 is available now! - 30 June 2025
Hello everyone!I'm happy to announce that version 0.11 of Baldi's Basics Plus is now available! This update is mostly focused on endless mode by bringing several improvements to it. Firstly, you can now select from a wider range of level options! Select the level type and size to play however you want. Secondly, several changes have been made to the mode to make it even more endless than before! New items will spawn in when collecting notebooks, new students will appear every so often, and you can now answer bonus questions to get even more YTPs! With more resources at your disposal you'll have more tools to help you survive as Baldi gets faster.With all these changes however, I have decided to remove the old premade endless medium map. I plan to bring premade maps back to endless in the future, but for now it will be limited to procedurally generated maps for simplicity's sake. Remembe…
