    The only thing I could see for a Baldi series would be just an episodic joke series that doesn’t try to have some crazy overarching story and is just something to watch for a good laugh, kinda like Gumball (minus the story stuff they started for like seasons 4 and 5)

    The setting deadlines thing reminded me of something I saw years ago.
    Two creators who shall remain nameless as one has moved onto other projects announced ~2007 a huge crossover for their fanshows with a release date of Summer 2008. The project was never completed, with an unfinished segment uploaded in 2017 and one of the creators leaving the community around the same time.

    42:56 Yeah, working on the main game your developing and also coming up with new ideas for a whole separate different project for a different game at the same time can be infuriating lol 😅. I have actually quit remaking Baldi's Basics into Minecraft (I uploaded a teaser in that on my channel) for my friends and family to play on it, and I also made my OWN game inside Minecraft. Like I had created my very OWN horror map that had been inspired to have similar mechanics like Baldi's Basics, and I might share it on the internet, but that's not the point. My tip is to have a journal for each project, basically like the concept art of characters, themes, mechanics, etc. Each journal should really clear out the stress about having and planning out various projects at the same time, 42:56 been there lol

    16:52 bringing that game and …him… up physically ruined my mood. That speedrunner is an egotistical asshole who is so engulfed in his rage it is literally hurting him. He constantly lashes out on his viewers and he refuses to take care of himself mentally and phisically. He literally mocked people for caring about his diminished mental health.
    He’ll try to convince you it’s his trolls that ruin him (and will always point to one and not all of them for some reason), but I know from experience the majority of the time it is himself that makes the streams a pain. (Watched him for 6+ years, i’ve seen it in real time. Had to stop watching him because it’s such a toxic environment) and he always acts like the viewers are in the wrong for getting unnerved and uncomfortable every time he starts screaming at the top of his lungs (to the point the chat goes completely silent because he bans people for differing opinions).
    Though, I completely understand your point in bringing that up in the conversation.
    The pain of the experience is just so deep my heart sank from the mention of …him.
    Legit had to step away from the vid because of how distressed i got.

      People hate on Baldi’s Basics because it is a popular game among children. Children can often be quite immature, and can inject a lot of cringe into a fan base. But the thing is, I’m not complaining. Baldi’s Basics is one of the only 100% family friendly horror games out there. It has no blood, no excessive violence, or anything of that nature. Not to mention, the colors are very bright and would attract kids. I kind of think it was intentional through, and that Baldi’s Basics was always supposed to be a game that is enjoyed by kids and adults.

    This really goes to show how even big industry names won't conduct research on who they're doing interviews with. Literally they never do, they do podcasts and interviews for PR cuz its interactive with their fanbase while not being parasocial, 100% that and nothing else. I mean shit, remember when Alex Hirsch was on h3?? What the hell was that for? Because if any of these creators saw Veronica's first personal RUclips video, they'd either walk the hell away from any of this or continue it anyways because they are also secret serial cheaters and mass manipulators in disguise lmao. I'm starting to respect creators more who don't do interviews point blank.
