Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo

Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo is a backer-only demo for Baldi's Basics Plus by Basically, Games!. It is only available to backers who donated $30 or above to the game's Kickstarter. The demo was delayed twice: Upon Full Game Early Demo's release, mystman12 first mentioned that the Kickstarter demo was supposed to come out around September 2019, then around October 2019 before Halloween. Although the demo finally finished its development on November 2, 2019, the download codes that were supposed to be sent to the backers did not work out well due to surveys not going out yet. The codes were finally sent out on November 5, 2019.
Unlike Full Game Early Demo, this demo includes three randomly-generated levels along with a new random event (mystery room), three structures, and a brand new field trip (Farm). It also introduced a new character (Chalkles), Cloudy Copter returned, three new items were added (Dirty Chalk Eraser, Principal Whistle, and Faculty Nametag) along with all previously existing items, one new mode (Free Run Mode), and a new special location (Library) upon its first release.
V1.2 was released on March 14, 2020. The update added two new characters (Beans and Mrs. Pomp) and some more structures (Baldi's Math Machines, Math Machine balloons, and the water fountains).
There was also another new field trip planned, but its implementation was delayed three times, and ultimately canceled due to running out of time."One final, less positive note, I unfortunately won't be able to get the new field trip finished for the Kickstarter Exclusive Demo. I'm really sorry to any of you who were looking forward to that update. The field trip will, of course, eventually be added to Baldi's Basics Plus, but due to time constraints I realized I won't be able to get it finished in time to be able to add it to the demo (And of course, once BB+ is out, there will be no need to update the demo). Every time I go to make a field trip I forget just how much longer they can take to complete compared to pretty much all other elements in the game, as they require more unique code, textures, models, audio, etc. than anything else." - Kickstarter Update #34: New Trailer, Release Date Announced, and Survey Reminder! The new field trip was then planned to be added in Baldi's Basics Plus V0.2,"The first major update, version 0.2, will come with some new features, including the in-game shop that will put the YTPs to good use! It will also include a handful of new items and events, a new character, and a new field trip." - Plans for the rest of the development cycle! but it was delayed again and its release is coming sometime in the future."No, there will not be any new field trips in 0.2. I'm going to focus on reworking the existing field trips to make them more fun before I add any new one." - Micah McGonigal. August 21, 2020. Gmail
The next updates after V1.2 will have pre-release major updates for Baldi's Basics Plus. These updates will be applied a week before public releases."Starting with version 0.4, all $30 and higher backers will get access to a pre-release version of each early access major update one week before it releases publicly! These pre-releases will come as updates to the Kickstarter Exclusive Demo," - Kickstarter Update #43

== Trivia ==
* When accessing a pirated copy of the demo, a screen of a traumatized Baldi-like character, named , will be displayed.
* Backers who backed $30 or above received a survey and then a Steam code to play Kickstarter Exclusive Demo. This is done to make sure the non-backers or backers who backed below $30 cannot play this demo.
* The scripts for this game were compiled using IL2CPP, which made it difficult for modders to change the code and/or people to look at the code.
* This demo is the only demo not to be removed so far.
* mystman12 made sure YouTubers wouldn't spoil content in the pre-releases for Baldi's Basics Plus in either the title or thumbnail of their gameplay videos of this demo.Q: "i believe a simple, but effective solution would be to politely ask youtubes not to put any big v0.4 things or anything relating to them in the title or thumbnail." / A: "I'll probably include a request to not share footage or to be careful about spoiling new content until the public release." - Gmail (quesition), Gmail (response) They are allowed to share screenshots/videos of the pre-release versions of Plus, as long as they are mindful of spoilers.Q: "That's great to hear! I have a question though. Are YouTubers allowed to make a video on the early access version of 0.4 when it releases? Or do they have to wait to publish their videos on it until after the finished 0.4 version has been released?" / A: "Yes, people will be allowed to share videos/screenshots of the game! I will simply ask that people be mindful of spoilers." - Kickstarter question and response in the comments of Status Update #24
