* On December 27, 2020, Micah announced in a Twitter post that he believed he had COVID-19. Due to this, development on Baldi's Basics Plus was halted until further notice."So I was going to continue my challenge today after taking a Christmas break, but I'm pretty sure I now have COVID-19. So I'm going to wait until I get better before returning to my normal schedule. In hindsight December wasn't a great month to try and do the daily schedule challenge, what with holidays and a bunch of other stuff that was going on, so I'll be continuing into January once I'm better. Which hopefully won't take long, I already feel a bit better than I did yesterday I think." - mystman12. December 27, 2020.Twitter On January 4, 2021, he had been recovered from it, so he is able to work on the game again."Starting day 13 of my work challenge which now extends into January!

* The reason why his Instagram account's name is "mystman12basically" is because "mystman12" is already used by someone else, and there is no support for the username issue."Also if you go searching for it I'm "mystman12basically" because someone stole my username and Instagram support is non-existent so I haven't been able to get "mystman12"." - mystman12. November 17, 2022. Twitter
