Hi everyone! This isn’t about BFNS Ultimate, but it’s something that I really want to address for so long, since I keep seeing people on twitter talking about how Johnster makes AI content and all that, because I’m worried about his reputation after Beta 1 releases and I think this is a really important topic to talk about.

First off, I wanted to talk about the AI content that people have been talking about.


Yes, he did do AI content on his misc channel and I have to admit that I also have a mixed feeling about it too, because AI content is controversial, but the thing is that not many people knew about is that Johnster said in one of the video description that he no longer makes AI content anymore.


Second one that I want to talk about is the use of paid feature in a Baldi fangame.


Yes, what he said was true at least from what I saw, but that was like years ago and I doubt that he’s still going to plan that in his project since he’s an adult and I’ve never heard him mentioning about adding transactions or paid DLC to BFNS Ultimate as of right now. Besides, the development of this game has changed.


And lastly, I wanted to talk about the infamous “The Package” episode. I’ve also seen it and I have to admit that it was not great. Apparently, I’ve heard that he spent lots of money to get a full team for the animation and honestly, the animation quality is not worth the price for him to pay. The reason I’m mentioning this is because this happened two years ago and I don’t think Johnster is ever going to continue this series if it was that bad.


That’s all that I have been wanted to say but never get a chance to do it. I really hope that people don’t give him bad first impression when Beta 1 releases, because I also contributed to his project as a music composer of the game and I hope it’s not going to affect me too. Johnster may have made few mistakes, but he has grown up and changed so much that I honestly think he deserves a second chance.

Also of course, don’t harass anyone mentioned from the screenshots. Thank you!

Also, yes I did contributed for the package episode as a music composer, but only for the intro and credits, but I think this version is discontinued.

Thanks for clarifying and addressing this, and I hope we can all move on from my past mistakes as well.

While I used to do AI content on the misc channel (as when I first discovered AI video generation content in late 2025 via Sora 2 like other people, I thought it was cool back then and wanted to try it out for fun, but later realized it wasn't so great), it's true I did discontinue it after finding it repetitve and boring and then shifted the misc channel to human-made content which I've enjoyed making much more, as seen in videos like my lengthy first-time Pokémon Black Version playthrough (which is 16 parts in and many hours long already) or the recent stories on there, and the solar eclipse footage as well. I really don't like AI anymore and regret using it excessively in the past looking back now about a year later, and I'm even planning on unlisting most of those past AI videos on the channel soon as part of it's new direction.


As for paid content in Ultimate, everything is planned to be entirely free in that fangame, and there will be no paid DLC or microtransactions, as I plan on keeping the series free for all to play, and DLC is not even planned for Ultimate anymore anyways, rather it would get post 1.0 updates that add even more content like I did with Remastered for years after it's release.

And as for Baldi's Mathematical Show, that has been cancelled as well and isn't planned to be produced anymore as it didn't meet my quality standards with what the animation studio i later fired years ago was sending me as it was not worth the production costs.

My main focus for now continues to be on developing BFNS Ultimate and making it the best it can be, and in the last few days I've made even more main menu progress and thought of some cool ideas for it, so the work will continue on that, and I hope everyone is looking forward to the 2026 recap at the end of this year for the project!

Thank you for making this response! I hope people/baldi modders will understand that you no longer do those things anymore! :)

I’m also looking forward to the 2026 recap!

Same. It’s just so tiring that people never check itch.io or like at least see this post I made and addressed. Most of the complaints they gave to Johnster are either things that is outdated or things that he no longer makes anymore. To be honest, I think twitter users is just finding ways to hate on him. That is why I wanted to make this post at the first place.

And I also hope that those people moved on from this and at least give some respect to him if that happens.

I hope so too. Twitter users somehow find the most oldest thing like 5 years ago and literally be a drama queen about it; I find this most in popular celebrities and I'm just in shock on how they find these and how they just straight up act like a detector.
