Progress Update #1 (January 2023)


Hello, and welcome to the first progress update of Baldi's Fun New School Plus Ultimate Edition! In these updates, I share what progress I have made during each month while working on this project. I hope you'll enjoy hearing what I have to say, and now it's progress update time!


Lightmap Lighting

One of the things I added to the tile lighting system being used for the lighting in some levels in the project was lightmap based tile lighting. It works by making it so that the color of tiles are based on the color of corresponding pixels on a lightmap texture. After generating a lightmap texture for a level, all I have to do is edit the texture in an image editing program to achieve the kind of lighting that I want to have in a level. You can see an example of it in action in the development video above.


Internal Level Builder

The internal level builder is a tool I've been working on over the course of January which is designed to help me speed up the creation of the layouts of levels. It lets me view what tile I currently have selected, as well as a preview of what the level's texture map looks like. Eventually, I plan on adding the ability to save and load the texture maps of levels that I've created with it so I can continue working on layouts that I was only able to partially finish. Depending on how it turns out, the finished internal level builder may end up getting adapted to become the level editor planned to be implemented in the Floor Customizer gamemode. You can see how it currently works in the short gif above.


Update Checker

The update checker is a feature that I've added just within the last day or so. You'll be able to check what the latest version is with it while connected to the internet and gives you the ability to update if you are playing on an older version. Something I haven't added to the update checker yet but will be coming soon will be an update notification that appears on screen if your version is outdated. There will also be a setting added for anyone who wants to turn it off. You can see a preview of how the update checker works in the short gif above.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this progress update, and thanks to everyone who has contributed and helped me out with the development of Baldi's Fun New School Plus Ultimate Edition. See you in the next one, which I'll be posting at the end of February!
