This is the **reminder** from mystman12, including what *Baldi's Basics Plus* includes, the demo's summary, controls, and an opportunity to pledge the Kickstarter page.

I'm doing a Kickstarter to create a full version of Baldi's Basics!
It will include some great new features like randomly generated levels, new characters, new items, random events...
And field trips! Just like this one!

The goal of this field trip is to keep the fire going for three minutes. You'll have to grab firewood and use it to fuel the fire. Maximize your score for better rewards by loading as many sticks into the fire at once as you can!
If the fire goes out, well... Run.

Controls
Left Click: Pick up firewood/Drop firewood in fire
R: Drop firewood on ground (Useful if you need to speed up)
Shift: Sprint
Space bar: Look behind you
Hold Escape: Quit the game

Remember, the Kickstarter ends on Thursday, August 23 at 3:50 PM EST!
Time is running out, so if you want to see Baldi's Basics expanded upon, please consider pledging!

These **end cards** encourage players to help pledging funds to the game's Kickstarter page in order to let *Baldi's Basics Plus* happen.

#### *Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo*

* Reminder
* Main Menu
* About
* Loading

A **reminder** screen that appears when starting the demo. It tells the player that this demo contains random events, and special structures. It also tells the player that the map was made by the level generator, with some tweaks applied to it to better represent the final product, and that it needs much more tweaking in *Baldi's Basics Plus*.

Important! This is an early demo of the full version of Baldi's Basics, which is still in development. Everything in this demo is subject to change, and some things in this demo use placeholders. Also, due to how early in development the game still is, you may encounter some bugs! Truly the most horrifying part of any horror game. The best way to let me know about any bugs is through the demo's Itch.io page.

This demo is focused on gameplay and some new features that will be in the full game, mainly random events and special structures. It is missing some things that will be in the full game, but have not been implemented in this demo, including horror and edutainment parody elements, field trips, new characters and items, level decorations, and more. There's a lot to look forward to in the full game!

The level featured in this demo was created by the random level generator that will be used in the full game, with a few tweaks made by hand to better represent the final product. The level generator still needs a lot of tweaking, so in the full game, most levels should be even better than this one. I'd love to hear your feedback on this level though, so I can make the generator ever better!

And, as always...

WARNING!

This game is actually a horror game kind of and not actually educational. Don't let your kids play it unless they like horror games, blah blah blah. There may be some flashing and loudness, possibly, I dunno... Spooks and parodies of spooks abound. I'm rambling. I'm going to stop typing now.

The **main menu** has some differences comparing to *Baldi's Basics Classic* and *Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash*.

This is a demo showing a small slice of things to come in the full version of Baldi's Basics! It's still in development, so everything in this demo, is subject to change and improvement! To check up on the latest status of the full game, use the links below to visit the official Basically Games website, or the demo's Itch.io page.

Thanks for playing!

The loading screen features plain "**IT'S LOAD**" text.

## Trivia

### General

* The title screens are very similar to the *Sonic's Schoolhouse* box art.

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*

* By using the Unity project, the quad for the main menu screen can be seen, which contains the text of the weird message.
* Pressing the "X" button again before Baldi's "*Thanks for playing, come back soon!*" quote ends will make him repeat the same quote and the game will not be closed. If the player presses other buttons while this quote is playing, it shows a different screen, rather than quitting the game.
	+ This was also applied to *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*, but it was fixed in V1.0.2.
* Prior to V0.1.2, the version text did not redirect to the list of itch.io development logs page.
* Prior to V0.2, the "**PLAY**" button also appears in the elevator at the bottom before playing the floor.

About screen prior to V0.3.About screen from V0.3 to V0.3.2.About screen in V0.3.3 and V0.3.4.About screen from V0.3.5 to V0.3.7.
* Even though the shop was implemented in V0.2, there was a phrase "**an in-game shop (For YTPS),**" in the list of content to be done from the "**ABOUT**" screen until V0.2.2.
* Prior to V0.3.3, the about text read:
**Baldi's Basics Plus is currently in early access! There's still a lot of work to be done to the game, including: Improved menus, dynamic music, horror elements, edutainment elements, and more content (Like levels, challenges, characters, etc). Expect bugs! If you encounter a bug, please report it with the link below.**
	+ However, this text still exists in the caption `json` file. Plus, there was no notification icon and the shape of all buttons was a rounded rectangle.
* In V0.3.3 and V0.3.4, there were "**Development Roadmap**" and "**Devlogs on Itch.io**" buttons. These buttons were replaced to "**Changelogs/Devlogs**" and "**Credits**".
* The "**OPTIONS**" button was also used for the pause menu prior to V0.3.5.

### *Baldi's Basics Classic*

* Prior to V1.3, "figured" is misspelled as "figure": "**In case you haven't figure it out yet, this game is intended to be a horror game.**"
* Prior to V1.4, the Comic Sans MS font was not pixelated.
* Prior to V1.4.1, it was possible to press any key to go to the main menu in the warning screen. Now, it can only be clicked. In addition, the "**(Press any key to continue)**" was changed into "**(Press to continue)**".

### *Classic*/*Birthday Bash*

* The additional menu selection is not implemented, with the "**HOW TO PLAY**" button included for the starting menu.
* The title screen's file name is "`title_final`", which implies that there may have been a different version of the title in *Classic*.

### *Classic*/*Classic Remastered*

* In the "**How To Play**" screen, "notebooks" is misspelled as "noteboos": "**all his noteboos in school**". Also, "practice" is misspelled as "pracitce": "**be late for eating pracitce**".

### *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*

* Rarely, Baldi heads in the loading screen are replaced to "Badli" heads, which are orange-colored, distorted Baldi heads.

### *Baldi's Basics Field Trip demo: Camping*

* In V1.0, the reminder message was only about the game itself. Plus, there was only one end card, similar to the fourth one in the current version but with differences on the text above.

### *Baldi's Basics - Challenges Demo*

* In the text about the full game's early access in the main menu, the word "access" is misspelled as "aceess".
* The title screen has no trademark symbol (TM) unlike in other games and demos.
