Welcome to the fourth development update for Baldi's Fun New School Plus, the sequel to Baldi's Fun New School! In this update, I will talk about the recently released Alpha 1 version, and also some new submitted characters planned to eventually come in the mod (besides Beans and Mrs. Pomp).

New Character Ideas!

So, since I made the character submission form, I've gotten many character submissions. After going through them, I've chosen a few to share with you and what the characters are planned to do when they get added.

Say hello to Tomnado! This character was submitted by BadRum55, and is a drawn character with a similar art style to playtime. What will he do? Well, when Tomnado sees you, he will start spinning around. Eventually, his spinning will create a tornado, which will come after you. When his tornado hits you, your view will rapidly spin and be disoriented for a few seconds before calming down. Tomnado is planned to first appear on Floor 2, which is currently being worked on, along with Mrs. Pomp. Below is Tomnado's spinning animation:

He will probably also appear in some other levels, and there might be a challenge where you have to avoid multiple Tomnado's. Anyways, I think people will find this character interesting, and while he's currently only a concept, he's hopefully coming to the mod soon! Now, let's move on to the other character.

This character's name is Mr Junks. Another character with a drawn art style, this was a submission from DOI MODDER. When you have food items in your inventory and Mr. Junks is near you, he will take one of them, eat it, and then make a burp sound. This sound will make The Principal go to where the sound happened, and could help you in certain situations (like if the bully is blocking your way). Mr Junks will be added after Tomnado and Mrs. Pomp, and is currently a concept. Anyways, these are some character ideas for now, I'll share more when they are submitted later. Edit: I've edited this to include one more character that was submitted, since I though it was a cool idea.

This character's name is Clocker. This was a submission from SirOofy90 (AKA OofyOofOof) and has a different art design compared to the other characters shown here. When you start, Clocker will walk around for 45 seconds. After 45 seconds of walking, Clocker will then stand still for 15 seconds. During this time, if you interact with Clocker while he's standing still by clicking him, he will work like the alarm clock item. After 15 seconds of ticking, he will make a ringing sound, attracting baldi to where the sound happened. He works like the Mr. Ring character I mentioned in the mod's description, so Clocker will replace Mr. Ring. After you've used Clocker, he has a cooldown of 30 seconds before you can use him again. This character will be interesting to code, but if I can get Clocker working, he will take Gotta Sweep's place on Floor 2. Below is an image of Clocker ringing.

Alpha 1 Has Been Released!

So, if you didn't know, the first playable version, Alpha 1, was recently released. While I'm working on Alpha 2, you can play that version, which includes Floor 1 of Experience Mode and a Camping Trip in Trip Mode. Some people have already made gameplay videos on that version, so if you want a look at the mod before playing it, go watch those. Also, I was able to release Alpha 1 earlier than expected, which was great!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this development update, and as I continue to work on the mod, more development updates will be released! Also, I post development images on Twitter, so you can find those there. Thanks for all the support so far, and see you in the next dev. update!
