Behind the Scenes - A Look at the Scrapped Wild West Field Trip!
🕑 Added 2024-10-02 20:13:57 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I've previously mentioned wanting to post some behind the scenes content here on Patreon, and today I'm excited to kick that off with what I think is the most significant piece of scrapped Baldi's Basics Plus content: A wild west themed field trip!
This was a field trip I was working on after the farm field trip but before I decided to revise field trips entirely. Once I made the decision to do that, I stopped working on this field trip before removing it completely from the game. However, I was able to dig up its old Git branch and take a look at what I had finished despite how long it's been since then!
In the video I talk a bit more about the assets I made for it, showcase a few of the oddities I encountered trying to access it and demonstrate the minigame in action. Unfortunately while making this video I adjusted some OBS settings and nuked the video quality without realizing it, so at the end of the video I've edited in some high quality, no commentary footage so you all can get a better look at things. Enjoy!
In the future, I may end up adding a new wild west themed field trip, but if I do it will, of course, take a completely different form than what you see here.

Will you plan to release the sprites?

Do you still have the Plunger sprites, and if so, can you post them? I want to use them for something.

I always wondered how West Minigame would look like, and despite being scrapped, it's pretty good concept! :D

DARN! One more page and I would've finished this book. Get me a drink, Bartender. COME BACK SHANE! My name's not Shane, kid.

Baldi's Basics: the Wild West Part 2. *Sheriff Baldi walks into the Cafeteria* "Get me a drink, Bartender." *Johnny/the Bartender slides a BSoda, but Sheriff Baldi misses it. and it breaks* Baldi: oh, guess I'll leave. Playtime: Teacher! COME BACK!! *Sheriff Baldi cuts her jump rope* "My name's not Teacher, kid." *Joe's Bus ascends to space.*

Are screenshots and audios (in this case the plunger) allowed

Looks like Baldi is giving Larryboy a run for his money! XD

It's so cool to see behind the scenes, this is such a goofy field trip and I'm excited to see what it'll look like when it's remade! Also I find it funny how the text is all goofed up because of the extra kerning :P
Graysen Wilson
Also it was made in the 90s, and it's comedy is *glitching* GOLD. So I'm now gonna quote "The Town with no Name."

My guess is that you moved/relocated the assets, so the .meta files didn't point to any valid asset anymore, which would likely cause Unity to auto generate one. Just a guess though... not 100% sure.
Basically Games
There's no reason to keep the info I post here secret, I just ask that the video itself isn't reposted anywhere.
Basically Games
I've already considered both of these minigame concepts! I think a purely reaction based minigame (Different from Pick-Quick-Nic which also involves deduction) is kind of a shoe-in, so a quick draw game is likely. Meanwhile I think Johnny serving root beer in a saloon would be cool but I'm still brainstorming how that would work gameplay wise.
Basically Games
That's exactly what I did! Since textures and other audio/visual assets are large files and can't really have changes tracked, I opted to ignore them. It *does* track their associated .meta files which is why I don't understand why many of the sprites are using the wrong pixels-per-unit.
MissingTextureMan101
Your git doesn't track texture changes? That's weird, I swear you would have to manually configure it to do that using a gitignore...

Weird. I could access this post without logging in. I still don’t know how patreon works but I didn’t think that was possible
Mirror_MAN
That would be amazing!!

I would LOVE to see a Wild West-themed field trip, especially one with the one-button principle of the new field trips
Luke9456
wow I wonder how it would look if it was fully finished
Phoenix Cloud
A wild west field trip would be great, a lot of potential.
Graysland
I would've loved to give baldi a taste of his own medicine with a plunger gun!

this field trip would certainly be the most fun and creative of all, I hope the plunger returns in some way in a 2d minigame, even as a background decoration, I hope the 3d small city also returns as a field trip hub

I have an idea for the rework of it, if you end up adding it. The first mini game could be shooting targets that pop up on screen, it would be characters from the schoolhouse dressed appropriately, you would have to shoot plungers at them in a timely manner, also I think some targets should net you extra points or a penalty. As for the second mini game, I think it should take place in a saloon, maybe serving drinks. For the art style of the field trip, it could take after the town with no name because it has that crappy 90s style.

Baldi's Basics: the Wild West Part 1. "Hey Sheriff Baldi, Capsule Collider the Kid has invaded the saloon. Use the plunger to shoot 'em down since we ain't got no guns. Take Joe's train afterwards" PotT, Schoolhouse Ranger.
Qwerty
This looks amazing! I fully understand why it got scrapped in the end, but finally seeing the plunger in action including with fitting sound effects is absolutely amazing!! Maybe in a future field trip they could still be used somehow..? Either way, it was very interesting to see this entire project in action!
Graysen Wilson
Idk what I meant, but doing this would be pretty cool.
Me
completely random and sorry if this sounds rude but could you check your basically games email because i sent you one a bit ago and no response yet so sorry!!!! :D but still awesome feature. was he originally going to shoot them that fast?
Graysen Wilson
wow! Maybe have a post a file that's just this field trip, so we can play around with cut content?
The Riddle Goblin
Hey Mystman, question, can we add this stuff to the wiki, or no because paywall?
kal
This is really cool! I love the idea of a shootout with Baldi and if the wild west field trip makes it into the final version of Plus, I'd be excited to see how it's be done in the new field trip format!
The Riddle Goblin
THATS WHAT THE PLUNGER WAS
Mirror_MAN
I've been used to farming and camping field trips for so long that for some reason my brain didn't function when I read that there was another one being planned XD

Release the plunger sprites!!!
gabetheory
Looking at early Baldis Basics content looks cool, I can’t wait to see more soon if im being honest. Plungers were also an amazing choice lol
Piichy San
I knew there would be a Wild West field trip LOL
SomeoneThatsStupid
Man, I love watching BTS! this also so cool, I think that it could have been something cool but I get why it didnt get realeased, thanks Mystman :3
