    Dude one reason I really like Baldi’s Basics is because most indie horror games back then ( and still now ) has like deep complicated lore.
    But not Baldi’s Basics, and even the sprinkle bit of lore in there it was mostly jokes.

      the best part is that the only character who has "lore" constantly calls out other indie horror stereotypes and after you kill him, he disappears from the game and every "scary" or "lore" related aspect is removed

    • @tolstartheking
      @tolstartheking 10 месяцев назад +29

      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.

    • @ThomasAndSkye
      @ThomasAndSkye 10 месяцев назад +25

    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

The project was never completed, with an unfinished segment uploaded in 2017 and one of the creators leaving the community around the same time.

    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.

    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.
    Either than that, this was a good watch

    here is an idea for a baldi movie lets just say that this familly has ben strugling recently and they decided to sell the house by the endo of the month and move in with the grand parents but there 16 year old son Jimmy he wont let that happen so he goes on twitter to see if he can get paid to do anything and mystman12 tels him that his game baldis basics has been corupted by NULL and he he can find a way to stop NULL he would get paid 1 week later Jimmy recieves a cd rom of baldis basics classic remasterd and then he gets sucked in the game hes not stuck tho he can leave if he wants or if he gets slapped by baldi but Jimmy had 1 objective get rid of NULL and at the end there will be a NULL bossfight like how in the remaster the movie will also be live action
