V0.2 (Plus)

## Version 0.2

**Version 0.2** is the sixth update patch and first major one of *Baldi's Basics Plus*. It was released on September 12, 2020.

## Documented changes

### Adjustments and Additions

* Added 1st Prize. However, he did not spawn in this version.
* Added Johnny's Store.
* Added many new ways to earn You Thought Points, including:
	+ Picking up regular notebooks (+10)
	+ Finishing jump rope with Playtime (+25 if you do it perfectly, the reward drops by 5 each time you mess up)
	+ Field trips (+100, +200, or +300 depending on performance)
	+ Time bonus
	+ Grade bonus
* Added lots of new artwork, mostly replacing graphics that were previously placeholders. Updated graphics include:
	+ Elevator screen.
	+ Elevator in-game.
	+ Gotta Sweep's closet.
	+ Math Machine.
	+ Grappling Hook.
	+ Staminometer.
* The elevator results screen now displays accurate values instead of placeholders.
* Added a new event: Gravity Chaos.
* The grappling hook can now be used 5 times before it's used up.
* Baldi can no longer end the game if his ruler is broken.

### Bug Fixes

* Made changes to the sprite shaders that should prevent automatic batching, which was causing sprites to turn dark when multiple of the same sprites were near each other.
* Fixed the script that handles multi-angled sprites (1st Prize, The Test). Viewing angles weren't quite right before.
* Reworked the script that NPCs use to "see" the player so that they consistently detect the player even if the player is moving quickly or is inside the NPC. This occasionally caused strange behavior.
* Fixed clunky vertical mouse movement with the in-game mouse, which should result in it being smoother.
* Fixed portal posters not rendering properly.
* Fixed Chalkles not rendering properly.
* Fixed the arrows not pointing in the direction the Principals are moving in in the Stealthy Challenge.
* Fixed some materials that were using old shaders that did not have fog or lighting effects.
* Fixed a bug that made it impossible to enter lockers while being pushed by an outside force.
* Corrected the color of Principal of the Thing's "I'm coming!" subtitle.
* Fixed a bug that caused NPCs in field trips to descend below the map.

## Undocumented changes

* A glitch that all posters were missing in the Principal's office was fixed.
* The Principal arrow glitch fix is making them no longer always point up.

## Trivia

* This update would have a new field trip, but it was cancelled.
* This update was originally planned to be released on the end of August 2020, but it was delayed to September 12, 2020.
* This update has the least sub-versions so far, with only 2.

The main new feature of this update will be the in-game shop to spend You Though Points in, among a handful of QOL improvements and small additions. I know the wait for the first major update is getting pretty long, but by the time 0.2 releases, I'll have most launch bug fixes and some major internal game/dev functionality I'm currently working on out of the way, which means things will start moving along more smoothly after that!*" - mystman12.
