[abstract elk]

no, there is always a reason.

Its inconsistant for a reason.

[late nymph]

Oh yeah, there has to be a Looooorre explanation

[abstract elk]

We js dont know why yet.

[wintry zephyr]

Not always

[wintry zephyr]

Nah bro you're just overthinking atp

[gloomy crag]

Arriving in Raven Brooks as a stranger with no ties to this place, you find yourself in a forgotten, half-abandoned town where every citizen has relations, desires, and goals. Your actions will ripple through the town, changing the course of events…

Simulated town - Raven Brooks as a sandbox simulated in real-time. Residents act based on their personalities and circumstances.

Every decision is the right one - The system-based nature of the game allows for complex ways of achieving your goals.

Cozy yet eerie adventure - A fading half-abandoned town in early spring, tangled with overgrowth and memories.

[barren saddle]

❔

[gloomy crag]

lol

[wintry zephyr]

In HNVR the house also looks different, doesn't mean peterson "rebuilt It"

[abstract elk]

.

[late nymph]

No, there is a reason as the layout changes in the books too

[abstract elk]

Simulated?

[meager badge]

The layout of Ted's house changed a lot throughout The Nicky and Aaron Trilogy.

[wintry zephyr]

The neighborhood also looks different from HN 1, is there a reason for that too?

Also nk

Ya'll just overthinking

That's it

[barren saddle]

Layout of Peterson's house is slightly more different on Hide and Seek too

[wintry zephyr]

It's not that deep

[wintry zephyr]

That too

Like

[abstract elk]

It has to be

[meager badge]

No its the same. Same model from Act 1

[wintry zephyr]

Do ya'll think Peterson rebuilds his house as a hobby?

[late nymph]

Nicky even mentions the layout changing sometimes so yes it is important, thanks for attending my Ted talk

[wintry zephyr]

It doesn't Bro 💀

[abstract elk]

I dont remember his house looking like that in act 1 💀

[meager badge]

Are you talking about the furniture?

[late nymph]

Again, different perspectives

[wintry zephyr]

In WTRB?

[late nymph]

In the Nicky trilogy

[barren saddle]

We mean in general, not just about Nicky

[wintry zephyr]

He's probably Just crazy

[meager badge]

Also I do think Ted moves things around in his house throughout the games/books. Maybe it's throw off intruders or he just really likes moving his furniture.

[abstract elk]

Ugh

[barren saddle]

Watch your mouth bro

Smh

[abstract elk]

Can someone tell me what that long text is from in the hn1 tab

[barren saddle]

/joke

[late nymph]

One of the books

[gloomy crag]

lol

i am just lisening to music rn

[barren saddle]

Cool

[late nymph]

I know I'm just pointing out an example of it being mentioned

[gloomy crag]

[barren saddle]

Bro forgot Hide and Seek💔💔

[gloomy crag]

[barren saddle]

Y'all crazy, I'll always remember H&S

Totally forgot that game excisted

[barren saddle]

That ending will always stick with me

[gloomy crag]

i haven't played hide and seek in like 50 years now

[meager badge]

No 💀

I was talking about Hide and Seek

[barren saddle]

On everyone's soul HE>>>> all HN games

[gloomy crag]

Yo Me did you beat hn1 and hn2?

[abstract elk]

Please man stop

[verbal stirrup]

[wintry zephyr]

Shut up

[verbal stirrup]

"realse"

you are definitely under the age of 9 😭

[barren saddle]

I know what this guy is saying is kind of cringe but using spelling to determine age is lowkey more cringier😭

[verbal stirrup]

I'm js saying..

but I still stand by my point

[abstract elk]

Bros playing gta 6

[verbal stirrup]

LMAO

[abstract elk]

‎

‎ ‎

[mighty orchid]

What did I read above?

[barren saddle]

I'm part of it too

[stuck lynx]

english might not be their first language

just because people make spelling mistakes doesn't mean they're underage

but anyways HN3

[fiery scarab]

Hn3 is so awesome and cool

[elfin ridge]

I just beat hn3

[fiery scarab]

How was it

[elfin ridge]

better than the other games

the tall guy part was hard to get past though

[barren saddle]

Is the AI actually good and advanced?

[fiery scarab]

Did you break his knees

[fiery scarab]

WRONG THIS IS A UNREAL ENGINE GAME

RAHHH

[elfin ridge]

no, there wasn't the omni-brainstem-cellular-network they were talking about in devlog 2

ai is just like hn2

[barren saddle]

Damn, L moment

(Still copping HN3)

[fiery scarab]

Hn4 will have an actual human brain wired up to the ai

[abstract elk]

Lmai

[elfin ridge]

lmai 🤣😂😎😚🙄🤔😋😙

[abstract elk]

Holy cow, he got so many thumbs up it had to move to a second line

[fluid flame]

🤯

[fiery scarab]

I'm curious do yall think hn3 is the overall conclusion to everything in the series

Timeline wise it seems that way

[wintry zephyr]

I hope

Imo after HN 3 (and patch 10 if that shi ever releases) i think they should do a HN 1 remake as the finale HN game

And with finale i mean last

Literally last HN game

[fiery scarab]

Hn1 is fundamentaly flawed

In like every way possible

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah that's why i want a remake

[fiery scarab]

No real advantage of remaking it

If hn3 is good they should just move on really

[wintry zephyr]

Nah

I disagree

Also

After that

If tinybuilds doesn't go bankrupt

They shoudl remake every HN game

Because

Why not?

[fiery scarab]

I don't think that's how people do remakes normally

[wintry zephyr]

Nah

Remake every HN game

I played HN 3 yesterday

It's dookie

[fiery scarab]

I doubt Nikita wants to do that

[wintry zephyr]

Só yeah

[fiery scarab]

Or any hn dev

[wintry zephyr]

HN 3 remake in 2045 chat

[verbal stirrup]

I have a feeling they won't stop...

[wintry zephyr]

Same

[verbal stirrup]

yk

cus of money

[wintry zephyr]

I think maybe HN 3 will be the finale HN entry

[fiery scarab]

That is usually how most studios work yes

[wintry zephyr]

But they will probably still do spinoffs

[verbal stirrup]

yea

[wintry zephyr]

And a HN 1 remake

But tbh

[fiery scarab]

I can see spinoffs more than remakes

[wintry zephyr]

Nah

If they don't do it

Imma explode everyone

If we don't have every HN game remake in 2100 im doing very bad things to thiseearth

Because every HN game is BAD

[verbal stirrup]

Have you ever wanted to do something but just can't THINK of how to? Or you're just stuck? Well that's whats happening right now with my map...

[wintry zephyr]

That's cool

[verbal stirrup]

testing puddles

[wintry zephyr]

That's bad

[fiery scarab]

Are these all hn2 assets?

[verbal stirrup]

yea...

[verbal stirrup]

Pretty much

[fiery scarab]

Ah

[wintry zephyr]

Hey

How about you make hello bendy 2?

[fiery scarab]

Puddles are okay I'm not sure if adding a layer blend for mud on landscaping would help

[wintry zephyr]

Add the ino puddles

And tehn it's not bad

Add bendy neighbor

[verbal stirrup]

LOL

[wintry zephyr]

Add bendy mayor

Add bemdy taxidermist

Add guest

[verbal stirrup]

idk how to do that in roblox 😭

[wintry zephyr]

Add alice gerda

[fiery scarab]

Ah

Didn't realize it was roblox

[verbal stirrup]

lol

[wintry zephyr]

Ronlox

Is that a new HN game?

[fiery scarab]

Yea no roblox is evil i can't help you there

[wintry zephyr]

Boblox

It's bad

It's ugly

It's disgusting

[verbal stirrup]

rablax

[wintry zephyr]

It's terrible

It's horrible

Minecraft is better

[verbal stirrup]

Yea... But my PC is kinda horrible at running other stuff

[wintry zephyr]

As a neighbor i yearned for you to get out

[verbal stirrup]

and roblox is easy to use

[wintry zephyr]

As a child i yearned for the basement

As a journalist i yearned for the investigations

[verbal stirrup]

lol

[sinful totem]

As a neighbor I yearned to keep Nicky in my basement

[verbal stirrup]

If y'all want, you can play an early version of this game. It has the old AI, map, and Gray Manor model. https://www.roblox.com/games/119742445237213/Hello-Neighbor-2-Alpha-2-EARLY-ACCESS

[wintry zephyr]

As a child i yearned for the inventions

As a crowface i yearned for the good luck

[restive oxide]

With all the teasers we have so far, I TRIED to make the new theodore. took about 2 hours

[wintry zephyr]

I think you did a good job

[pastel basin]

picture perfect imo, jaw is kinda goofy tho

[wintry zephyr]

The artstyle is identical

I find it interesting how Theo ie using boots instead of gloves

And he's also infact not an old man

But he has hunchback

And backpain probably

[fiery scarab]

Isn't he literally in his 70s

Honestly i still find it odd he isn't balding or getting Grey hair

[soft gulch]

he has had grey hairs since like, ever

[restive oxide]

I completely looked over the fact he doesn't have gloves

[brisk forum]

ain't the first time we've seen him without gloves

[soft gulch]

the face looks a bit weird

probably would be better to properly draw the head instead of inverting the little of what we have

[restive oxide]

Yeah, H&S

[restive oxide]

Honestly, I like the puffy eyes of the old one more

Which one is the superior design

[opaque cosmos]

New one

[restive oxide]

I like the new one, but Nikita needs to bring back the og one's eyes

And mouth

[stuck lynx]

imo I didn’t really like the old ones mouth or eyes

They looked odd

The new one looks a lot better

[restive oxide]

I just think the old ones eyes are ridiculous and goofy, especially in game

[reef basin]

Hey, it's best new neighbor design concept!

[zenith hollow]

Eyebrows give more expression too!

[restive oxide]

Thanks! Until two day ago I've never made any sort of digital art.

[silk blade]

That is not the point.
The blue line is the the distance between his legs in the new screenshot of his legs, and the pink one is the distance between his legs from the old screenshot of his body.

They are different, so thats why the showel doesn't connect with the handle of the showel on the old screenshot of his hand

[frigid kernel]

reason why I'm not getting into unreal engine
my GPU on 100% doesn't help either

[frigid kernel]

maybe the mix of the two
I like his glove
but the eyes are better on the first

[lean canyon]

Bro, just make new screenshot bigger

[silk blade]

Its not how it works
Can't you see the lines on his pants?
They are the same size, the lines stack together perfectly, but his leg moved a bit

[cunning yacht]

they do fit perfectly if you just
yknow
scale the image

[swift lion]

Theodore SquarePants

[cunning yacht]

nothing has been moved

why is the distance between his legs so important anyway

[oblique parcel]

I don’t like the old model as much

I prefer the new one

[silk blade]

Oaahummh... um... Sorry ":D

I was just not ready for it to be different sizes...

Relly strng

[swift lion]

I wonder if HN3 will be able to have Difficulty modes (easy, medium, hard, extreme) and a guide system

[severe merlin]

Here’s interesting perspective on approach to art. While it’s important to create something you like, it’s more important to focus on your goal. For example, look at this concept of Jacob. He looks mischievous and confident in his sneaky plans.
Now compare it to models. First iteration look cute, self-conscious and worried. While other is closer to the original idea of mischievous character. So important lesson here is to focus what helps you to achieve your idea, rather than “if a like it”. For me - I like both. But second version better at delivering desired vibe.

[oblique parcel]

Yeah I don’t think Jacob is really a good guy he feels more neutral

The original model looked a bit too nice and scared and like you said almost cute

[pastel basin]

btw are the eyebrows on jacob final? personally i like them but alot of peeps dont seem to a whole lot

[swift lion]

I'm betting Jacobs backstory is him as a gas station worker who smoked gas and became blue

[wintry zephyr]

But not in HN 3.

I think bro is getting younger

Reverse aging

What if

When you age backwards

You also have old people's problems like backpain

But once you hit an young age you now don't have the problems

What if

Mr. Peterson is trying to be imortal

By devolving

I mean deaging

[swift lion]

What's bro yapping about

And why does it make sense

[wintry zephyr]

Deaging

[wintry zephyr]

And why does YOUR theories make sense?

Let me yap about my stuff brah

[swift lion]

Because

Your theory is my theory

[wintry zephyr]

❌

Nope

[swift lion]

I talked about immortal Theo first

[wintry zephyr]

It's mine

Completely original

[swift lion]

However, little do you know, I already solved the entire hn lore

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah but not about reverse aging theo

How old is he in HN 2?

[swift lion]

Likely the same as in HN1

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah but the age

Tell me da age

[swift lion]

Idk, but probably 40s

[wintry zephyr]

Isn't he in his 50s?

[swift lion]

I don't think his age has ever been mentioned

[wintry zephyr]

Im pretty sure he is

[swift lion]

I think 40s is bett

Better*

[wintry zephyr]

Well let's assume he's 53 in HN 1 and 54 in HN 2

In HN 3

He's actually 52

And in uuuuhhh

[swift lion]

54+19+++

=]

[wintry zephyr]

The stormchasers book he's now 41

De aging my friend

[wintry zephyr]

Doesn't make alot of sense considering he has gray hair in HN 2 already and is supposed to have gray hair in HN 1 too

[swift lion]

Weren't only some parts Grey?

It's normal

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah

But

I never saw my mom with gray hair in her 40s

Sooooo

You're WRONG

[swift lion]

I'm talking about adults

Males*

Sorry

[wintry zephyr]

Same about my dad bro

[swift lion]

Well mine does have grey parts

[wintry zephyr]

And he is named Theodore Masters Peterson

So

[swift lion]

But like, close enough

[empty shell]

Brother?

[swift lion]

Wait

[wintry zephyr]

Brother?

[swift lion]

Grandkids?!

Anyways

[wintry zephyr]

If Theo was born in 1950 (assumption) how old woudl he bê?

[empty shell]

Grandpa!?

[swift lion]

My theory about immortality and De-aging is a good theory for a mad engineer

[wintry zephyr]

Since the AS takes place in an era where smartphones exist

I think he is 50 or 60 already

50s more likely

[swift lion]

And regarding his house, what if it never burnt down? It could be hidden underground.

[wintry zephyr]

De-aging is my theory bud

[swift lion]

Come on bud, stop making me feel awkward that Theo decided to have kids in his 50s ☠️

[wintry zephyr]

Bro who said he decided to have kid in his 50s

[empty shell]

Theo is def around 0-100

[soft gulch]

He literally does tho?

[swift lion]

Aaron is just 13

[wintry zephyr]

He literally doesn't do

So de-aging

Or smth

[swift lion]

HN3 Theo doesn't look very old

[wintry zephyr]

That just means he had kids in his 40s

[swift lion]

Alpha 1 Theo art looks very prime

[wintry zephyr]

Cuz im pretty sure Theo is in his early 50s

Lile 52 or 53

[swift lion]

When he was 47 if we go by the 60s theory

[wintry zephyr]

50

[swift lion]

If he was 50, he would be 63 If Aaron turned 13

[wintry zephyr]

He's not in his 60s im pretty sure

[swift lion]

I'm gonna go with 45+

[wintry zephyr]

He had Aaron earlier

Like when he was 41

Cuz if you make teh nath

And subtract it by 13

Its 53

[soft gulch]

Is this not gray hair here? I'm pretty sure that's like hair shine or something

[wintry zephyr]

You just answered yourself buddy

He puts oil in his hair

[swift lion]

Let's calm down alright, Theo did not decide to make himself 20 years old

[wintry zephyr]

Actually he decided to make himself great again

[swift lion]

40s and 50s you start having grey parts.

[wintry zephyr]

41

Not anymore for Theo

Bro is de aging

He ages backwards

[soft gulch]

I mean, he has grey hair here in every other depiction of his character, I don't see why this would be hair shine

[wintry zephyr]

It's ink

He painted his hair

So people think he's ild

But he's NOT

[swift lion]

Yeah, and Aaron is the guest

[brisk forum]

it might just be gray hair, since the lighting is coming from the other direction

[wintry zephyr]

he's actually agingbackwards

[wintry zephyr]

De aging

Not gray hair

[swift lion]

Nah, he's lagging

[wintry zephyr]

Let's assume this takes place in like 2030

What id

He's 20 now

[swift lion]

No

[wintry zephyr]

Yes

[swift lion]

He's gonna be faster than the player

[wintry zephyr]

In 2050 he would turn into a fetus

Yeah

[swift lion]

And throw balls at us

[wintry zephyr]

He's gonna be lebron james

The fast dude

[swift lion]

In 2050, I will be 40

[wintry zephyr]

After he turns into a fetus a cycle of never ending aging and de aging would happen

And he would be stuck like that forevah

[wintry zephyr]

In 2050, i will be 10

[swift lion]

So new theory #hello-neighbor

[wintry zephyr]

Mods don't van me btw im just a fetus

[low gate]

Not tryna start anything but i feel like we should not over listen to the community like i swear they some people will want change then when that change comes they switch teams again

I swear everyone complained about the vibe and weirdness of the originall then when HN2 came out people complained that it didnt have the charm of wackiness as the original

I'm really tired of people complaining for the sake of it when they could just chill and actually wait to see where things go

[empty shell]

I only care if Theo is in the game

[low gate]

Based

[empty shell]

Hello neighbor without ted isn't Hello neighbor

[soft gulch]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone saying the old style was bad

[low gate]

I saw a twitter HN confession where they suggest they remove the neighbor from hello neighbor

[low gate]

Is your home a rock

[soft gulch]

No I think it's more that

[low gate]

Everyone didnt like that style

[empty shell]

Oh heck no

[soft gulch]

I wasn't too deep in the community at the moment

[low gate]

No everyone complained and said the alphas look better but i always disagreed

i thought the alphas wasnt really special or anything

it looked dull to me

[empty shell]

I love the style of pre alpha

[low gate]

i hate it

i think it looks boring as hell

and that ugly shine on the door knobs and things

[empty shell]

Which alpha is ur favorite?

[low gate]

alpha 2

[empty shell]

Oh yeah it's awesome too

[low gate]

that was a nice alpha style

it was a very good blend i think

But i would take the full games styke over the alphas any day

I prefer the vibe of HN over than the horror levels or anything

Im really happy with this franchise at the moment its just ruined by the community

[wintry zephyr]

The alphas artstyle aren't bad

[low gate]

they are bad

[wintry zephyr]

Or teh new artstyle

They're just used poorly

[low gate]

it wasnt personal and it just wasnt very special to me

[wintry zephyr]

In the alphas they look baf

But i think if it's used right it can look good

[low gate]

it didnt make the game any scarier

[wintry zephyr]

Same Geoes for teh new artstyle

It is unqiue and wacky but looks so ugly in the final game

[low gate]

The new artstyles are so much more stylized and cooler

[wintry zephyr]

It unironically looks like a bad mobile game

[frosty gyro]

Maybe we get another theo picture today

[low gate]

i would take HN1 graphics over the alphas anyday

[wintry zephyr]

I think they should have went with the alpha 2 artstyle

Or smth lile it

Because

Imo the only reason the new artstyle looks so bad is because the lighting and atmosphere

[opaque cosmos]

this is so hn3 discussion

[wintry zephyr]

Yes

Very HN 3 topics

[low gate]

If they never went with the HN1 style it wouldnt evolve the way the style did. if we used the alpha style it wouldnt evolve really

[soft gulch]

The final style looks really ugly to me now

[low gate]

still

[wintry zephyr]

Both artstyles are good imo

Like i said theyre just used poorly

[low gate]

Liking it is fine but i just would never understand the apeal of going with the alphas vibe

[wintry zephyr]

The artstyle is eerie

[soft gulch]

Alpha 2 was probably the best it got to me, it was a nice blend between the cartoony look and the realistic one

[wintry zephyr]

Old artstyle

[low gate]

is it?

[wintry zephyr]

The new artstyle i think looks more nostalgic

[low gate]

Neither artstyle really made me any more scared than the other

[wintry zephyr]

To me it is

Eerie doesn't really equal scary

[soft gulch]

Tho that's probably more because the final game's graphics are really bad for some reason

[wintry zephyr]

It was just off putting

[low gate]

The old artstyle (weird i know) just looked weird it looked like it was hardly trying to be realistic

[wintry zephyr]

I agree

[low gate]

anyway go to HN chat

[wintry zephyr]

Nah, it looked realistic

Like

Cartoony realistic

[low gate]

No

[wintry zephyr]

Yes

It literally is

[soft gulch]

The art style evolved really well tho, and I like how it is now in hn3

[low gate]

If that looks real im not sure where you live

[wintry zephyr]

It's a bit cartoony

[low gate]

yes

[wintry zephyr]

I never it looks real bro

[soft gulch]

I love the feel that hn3 it's giving

[wintry zephyr]

I said it looks REALISTIC

a bit

And cartoony

A bit

[low gate]

hardly

it looked weird

and made me want to bleach my eyes

[wintry zephyr]

So does the new artstyle

It looks weird too

[low gate]

new artstyle looks like it was a style not just boring hardly "realistic" graphics

[wintry zephyr]

Best artstyle we've gotten so far in a HN game is HN 3

[wintry zephyr]

Wasn't it stock images

Like the alphas artstyle

I think that explains why it looks the way it does

Also

Alphas artstyle is realistic in a cartoony way

It gives 60s vibes

Alot

[low gate]

It looked borning, dull, shit

[wintry zephyr]

Okay bro that's your opinion

Chill

[low gate]

I dont know thats just how i see it

[wintry zephyr]

Cool but i like it

[low gate]

Wdym chill i am chill im just sayin how i see it

[wintry zephyr]

K

[low gate]

and like i said we should go to HN chat

[wintry zephyr]

Nah

We're on topic bro

[frigid kernel]

this is interesting to read.

for example, based on this image, I portrayed Jacob as someone, who is a little lost/ traumatized by an old event, tired, he has some self-confidence, but he relies on Iris often(I assume they are friends or allies). he wouldn't hurt people, not even if he is hurt. he does break in and trespass - because that's how they survive. that's what I read from the pic.

Iris for me, was confident, she doesn't care, she will complete her goal, even if she has to beat up detectives or something like that hehe

[frigid kernel]

https://youtu.be/W0VnRNlI274?si=fIe4hC8MDjByM_R5

[modest canopy]

It's not quite known yet what it will be like at the end. but I'm expecting a lot of unique assets like in hn 2, the use of new ue5 technologies. and I also really like the skin color design of the characters :3

[fiery scarab]

Idk if Nikita normally does alot of artwork for the games but if this is what he's doing for 3 I think it'll be good

Hn2 looked good so I don't doubt it

[low gate]

Almost everythign in HN1 is a memory or dream btw

So its gonna be different

[wintry zephyr]

True but im pretty sure the basement was real or atleast part of it

[tepid flicker]

@slender basin ^

[slender basin]

banned already, Discord is slow today

Ty ❤️

[tepid flicker]

Yw

[swift lion]

Uhhh

The guy was hesitating a lot there, and the stream ended with "I think", so I don't know if that's supposed to be a proper age confirmation

[wintry zephyr]

What happened

Here's my uuuuhhh cool idea for HN 3

Só the neighbor is hidingin a scrapyard

Andin thee scrapyard there's the mill

And in the mill is Rumble on teh mill

Than there's the park

With tge fuest

You say hello guest

And the guest turns friendly

Then there's patch 10

[swift lion]

And then you find out the guest is Aaron

[wintry zephyr]

And in teg patch 10 there's nothing because you find out it got cancelled

After that

Actually

Uuuhhh here's my actual ideas

Firstly there's a scrapyard location

Where theo is hiding

And it has like

A struture in the center

[swift lion]

I think you should try to keep messages meaningful

Just in case

[wintry zephyr]

Dw this is a poetic poem

The structure is basically his hosue

Made of scraps and stuff

And yeah

He lives there now

He does go out of the scrapyard though

And the vandals aslo go init

And steal materials like scraps

To build their own shelters or houses

Then teres the gaap

It's completely destroyed

Vandals are in it

Actually

No

Forest protectors are in it

Then there's the Forest

Guest appears in teh forwst at day

At night he's basically in teh neitre map

And

Then there's the mayak

Which i don't have any ideas

But there's also the tunnels/catacombs

Where the Forest protectors leaders are

And uuuuhhh

Yeah

Also

The ruined town has like, references to the odl npcs

[severe merlin]

My friend, please do not do this. Finish one message then send it. Do not bombard with single word messages

[untold grotto]

yeah

[wintry zephyr]

Sorry

[untold grotto]

it would be good to see a new sneak peek from the neighbor today

[wintry zephyr]

Real

I want food

[severe merlin]

Let’s not fill this chat with random messages.

This chat is to discuss HN3

[swift lion]

I got a question if that's okay, do you hope for a difficulty system in HN3? Such as "easy, medium, hard, extreme", I know the main development is important, but asking if your hoping for it

[severe merlin]

Hard to say for now

[gentle pebble]

The left bit of Mr Peterson is need

[swift lion]

Alright.

[wintry zephyr]

That's not a bad idea

But

[swift lion]

Yeah but depends on the theme of the game.

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah

[swift lion]

If it's

• Episode based
• keys, items, clues across many places
• several AI's in place
• AI able to use traps and sprints, jump, climb

A difficulty system could be possible

[swift lion]

Has It been decided yet if the game would be Episode based? (Such as ACT 1, ACT 2, etc)

Actually, apologies if that's directly a story related question, brain didn't load fully

[vocal timber]

Only few images and its complete

[tidal oracle]

i need the left part of his face

[low gate]

Im changing my profile every devlog

[untold grotto]

it will be far from what we imagined

.

[low gate]

Hes getting a facial reconstruction like HN2 the musical

[vocal timber]

But he still have his iconic big chin

[frigid kernel]

then ask him? again?
he clearly says late 40's and then 47 is confirmed

[uncut lark]

I've redone his nose a bit, is it better?

[low gate]

Neither

His nose is very square

Thats a bit round

[verbal stirrup]

Man I always miss the chance to talk to Nikita

[daring abyss]

Just ask a question and wait for him to appear

[cunning yacht]

holy shit its noteg 2

[lunar trail]

noteg 2 released

[daring abyss]

I'm Noteg's doppelganger

[cunning yacht]

I hope we get another teaser for Peterson.

[late nymph]

Me too, which part of him are you hoping to see?

[bold inlet]

hello neighbor 3 is gonna multiplayer, am i right?

[soft gulch]

No

[bold inlet]

nuh uh its gonna be multiplayer

[untold grotto]

its singleplayer

[bold inlet]

for now

[raven pilot]

if someone mod it

[bold inlet]

rbo's name is got changed and it is hn3. rbo has online and its same game btw

[untold grotto]

its not

[raven pilot]

i know, but in the devlog nikita clearly says it is singleplayer now

[cunning yacht]

I wonder if when we go into Peterson's house in HN3, because he probably has nothing to hide anymore, we just see a home museum dedicated to Toy Story.

[raven pilot]

fr, this would be epic

[soft gulch]

It's not the same game exactly

Due to it not being multiplayer anymore

[untold grotto]

rbo was hn3 from the beginning

[soft gulch]

Yeah

[cunning yacht]

OI NEIGHBOR! YOU LOOK LIKE A BUZZ LIGHTYEAR (no no word) I HATE TOY STORY AND P.S GO BACK TO ANDY'S ROOM YOU (no no word again) love: Thingsie

[bold inlet]

yeah ur right

[verbal stirrup]

That one animation from years ago 😭

[modest island]

jacobs eyebrows should be like among us hands where they only appear when he feels like it

[lean warren]

: Hello neighbor 3 soon?

[late veldt]

nope

2028

[hoary barn]

Hey Nikita, when do you think it'll be time for another neighbor concept art teaser?

Or full concept art?

[late nymph]

I wonder if we'll see full design before Christmas

[gloomy crag]

ayy

hows life Thedoctor?

i am just watching andor after finishing mandalorian

[late nymph]

Please keep this channel HN3 related, we can talk elsewhere

[gloomy crag]

okie

[late nymph]

Hi Nikita, is devlog 2 expected early or mid December?

[violet zephyr]

maybe next year

[late nymph]

He already said it'll be this year

[earnest cape]

I hope we get many Devlogs unlike HN2 where it’s every Year.

But at the same time there should only be a Devlog after a big move in Development.

[late nymph]

Like 1 and 2 are just to heat the fire?

[untold grotto]

we will probably see it in devlog 2.

devlog 2 may come in late december

if an episode or two from season 3 make it to the range and they decide to air it

devlog 2 will be at the end

[late nymph]

The devlogs don't always have to be at the end of an episode though

[untold grotto]

yea

but if they release the episode it will probably be like that

[late nymph]

I may not look like Theo but my mental health ain't far off ngl

[late nymph]

😔

[light pendant]

I put all the puzzle pieces together

[soft gulch]

the left arm and the top of the body parts are not fitted right

just to let you know

[earnest cape]

True.

Devlog 1 was to Announce the Game, give us an Idea on what happened before they settled on Singleplayer Gameplay, a bit of an Idea on what the Story is and what seemed to be hints as to the New Guest Noises.

[cunning yacht]

amazing

[earnest cape]

If the Creature chasing Nikita in the Devlog was The Guest that would be such a cool detail.

[light pendant]

I think the head is a diffrent art picture because the yellow thing on his neck matches the other puzzle pieces

[late nymph]

No, I think it'll be lighting based

[light pendant]

i dunno

can anybody use ai to finish the photo?

[late nymph]

We need more images to complete it

[light pendant]

all i want to see is the head art

its weird and fascinating how the body is kingpin like

[mighty orchid]

I feel like the rest of the head is the last piece to be seen

[soft gulch]

this is how i did it

the head is just a guess

[light pendant]

Thats really good

i shouldve thought about the gap

[reef basin]

I think head is bigger

[mighty orchid]

I’m sure you could but ai can’t replicate the creators style.

[light pendant]

yea

[soft gulch]

i fitted some of the parts that overlap with each (like the boot part and the legs part) by matching the very little details on the texture of the paint

i did not need to do it like that but i think it can't get more accurate than that with that way of doing it

[light pendant]

im gonna download that and draw the rest

[soft gulch]

maybe, but it tried to fit the little darker part on the sider that seems to be part of the arm part and the collar too

i also took in mind the end of the head part to get how much the separation might be

[light pendant]

i feel like the chin is too big tho

[reef basin]

Now new guest leak

[soft gulch]

like this it might feel big, but it depends on how the other part of the chin is

[light pendant]

That makes sense

[mighty orchid]

This is just the concept correct?

[light pendant]

yea

things could change

[mighty orchid]

Yea makes me wonder how the final in game will look compared to what we have now.

[soft gulch]

this is how i tried to complete the head, tho it's probably going to be a bit different (and most likely better really)

[light pendant]

thats pretty good

[soft gulch]

it doesn't look the best but it's all i could do really

[late nymph]

Well done

[mighty orchid]

For me I’m interested in his hair which sounds weird but I’m curious how similar or different it’ll look.

I guess if it’ll look flat or messy. Hope it keeps the little swirl

[crude heart]

I wonder if the new guest will be like the one in the hn2 alpha,Hg, or Hn2

[light pendant]

i like the new guest

[soft gulch]

it should be the hn2 one with the cloak, but i feel nikita might want to not use the cloak

idk really

[light pendant]

the guest doent need a redesign becuase he alredy fits in with hn3

[late nymph]

He's confirmed to be having a new design

[soft gulch]

I'd say he's probably going to be huge

idk why i feel he will be

like super tall and lanky

[whole sluice]

i feel like he might have the same body type as the neighbor

[soft gulch]

i guess a good reference is the tall guy from the banner, but maybe a little shorter than that

[light pendant]

i hope they dont change too much

The hn2 guest has a cool charm to it

[bitter meadow]

so in Hn 3 the guest sound like a pig i heard?

[oblique parcel]

More like a cow mixed with crow noises

[foggy fable]

The guest is now a cow

[cunning yacht]

cowman

[frigid kernel]

good

[bitter meadow]

oh a cow

[oblique parcel]

True hes Even more badass now

[cunning yacht]

how

[oblique parcel]

But fr though i don’t mind that much It sounds creepy imo

[foggy fable]

Those might not even be the guest

[soft gulch]

wait when was this said?

[oblique parcel]

Not Said heard

[desert bear]

How do we know this

[bitter meadow]

from the dev dairy/log

so peterson is still alive

[desert bear]

Oh yeah that

Mb i thought we got a sound file or something

[soft gulch]

ohh the devlog

[desert bear]

Bro I dont know how im gonna wait for 2+ years for such a peak game

[soft gulch]

right

[desert bear]

And id assume we’re not getting any new games until then

[bitter meadow]

here is the guest voice

[lean canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2thxtUzAtVk

[bitter meadow]

and yea he does sound like a cow

[soft gulch]

i still love the mic he using like what the hell is that mic

[bitter meadow]

mooseman

[lean canyon]

mooseface

[light pendant]

I think we are gonna have multiple guests

In the tv series there is more then one guest

[soft gulch]

those aren't the guest

those are just cultists

[light pendant]

yea

but you get what im saying right?

there proboly gonna be all over raven brooks in hn3

[soft gulch]

which for some reason in the show they have guest costumes instead of the costumes shown on hn2

[light pendant]

yea

[raven pilot]

idk if someone agrees with me but i think the tall guy house from HN3 looks very like kitty's house from the backrooms

it is just a random thing that i remembered idk if yall agree

[light pendant]

i dont know anything about the backrooms

[raven pilot]

ok, but check out kitty`s house images from the backrooms

and say if you at least kinda agree with me

[light pendant]

wow

u are right

[raven pilot]

fr

[light pendant]

its litterally just slenderman

[mighty orchid]

Then I could say tall guy looks like slenderman

[raven pilot]

yeah i know

[light pendant]

lol

[raven pilot]

fr

[mighty orchid]

Just length wise

[raven pilot]

this level looks likea simple child room but it is very creepy right?

[mighty orchid]

There are two tall people right?

[raven pilot]

yeah people are saying that one are the guest but i kinda agree idk

[light pendant]

i just changed my profile stuff

[mighty orchid]

I get what people see with the neck or beak but since everything is placeholder I’m guessing we haven’t seen the guest yet as a final in game thing if that is the guest

[modest canopy]

He's canonically friendly, btw

[light pendant]

We have never knew who the guest was

they probably changed him from hello guest and just made him an entity or something.

idk

[fluid flame]

i mean he was nebor in hg but we dont rly know what/who he is now

[light pendant]

yea

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0lBW5UKWXE

[stable eagle]

Really guys, another hn game? I have no doubt this will be just as bad as 2 or maybe even worse

[fluid flame]

nothing can be worse than launch hn2

[light pendant]

my game crashed like 6 times and the jumpscares sucked along with the ai

[cunning yacht]

..except launch hn3

[soft gulch]

i know that in earlier versions it was just the neighbor, but now we don't know what could it be, and it not being supernatural makes it harder

[light pendant]

"Hello Neighbor The Mysterious Kidnapping" has better ai then a million dollar compony

[light pendant]

i feel like the guest is a supernatual being

[soft gulch]

nikita said he isn't

so he isn't

[light pendant]

this is so confusing

[soft gulch]

even tho he is supernatural in hnvr but idk

or at least i think he is

[light pendant]

in hn2 hes able to superjump and spring super fast

[tender stump]

for gameplay reasons

do you think the neighbor really had a vacuum in hn1 that was strong enough to pull a human towards it

[soft gulch]

in hnvr he can transform into a crow and go through walls

[soft gulch]

maybe he did

maybe he bought it at the super mega strong vacuum store

[light pendant]

is hnvr even canon

[tender stump]

i just think its not worth it looking into this stuff too deep

[tender stump]

nikita said all hn media is canon

[light pendant]

this is a confusion train

[earnest cape]

The HN Lore makes zero sense ever since AS but yeah everything is Canon.

[light pendant]

LITTERALLY

[earnest cape]

There’s many Ideas as to why that is, Puzzle Theory, Perspective Theory, Time Loop Theory, but we don’t know what’s right since any could be.

[light pendant]

like, why does hn2 take place during hn1 act 2?

[earnest cape]

Takes place after.

[light pendant]

nicky is missing in act 2 and in hn2.

thats why i think thats when it takes place

[brittle rain]

Wait what

Hn3?

[earnest cape]

Nicky was saved, the Missing Posters are still there because they haven’t been taken down yet.

It’s confirmed a long time ago to take place after Act 2.

[light pendant]

i guess you can argue that

[light pendant]

good point

[earnest cape]

No HN2.

Anyways

[brittle rain]

Lol

[light pendant]

hn3 takes place way after hn2 i think

[brittle rain]

I've last logged in when hello neighbor 2 barely released

That's bizarre

[earnest cape]

Game is still in Prototype and doesn’t have a definitive Story yet so there is no certain Time Period, but based on what they’ve shown it seems to take place after everything else but not farther than Reset Day does.

[light pendant]

its confirmed it takes place after hn2

[earnest cape]

When?

Nikita said he doesn’t want to answer any Story Questions as they are Spoilers

So I doubt he would give a Period of time.

[light pendant]

i guess

[earnest cape]

Love this Jacob Concept Art

[light pendant]

they remodled jacob

[earnest cape]

I’m really glad they refined him to look more like his Concept Art, gave him the Singular Glove and everything.

Still conflicted on the Eyebrows on the Beanie.

[brittle rain]

Is it gonna be like hello guest alpha? Like with the selectable characters?

[light pendant]

thats teh old one

[earnest cape]

No he’s just an NPC

[brittle rain]

Ahhh

[earnest cape]

But during the RBO Phase he was a Playable Character.

[light pendant]

thats the new one

its faithful to the concept art

[brittle rain]

He looks different. I don't like the brows

[light pendant]

i like it

[brittle rain]

His brows... Are over his hat

[light pendant]

it counld change

[earnest cape]

Yeah it’s weird but they did it since one of their points of the Game is that you can befriend NPCs but also Anger them.

So Eyebrows to show his Emotion

[light pendant]

the concept art is sorta better

[brittle rain]

That's actually really cool

[grim lark]

Its Aaron :)

[light pendant]

on the steam page it says "Residents act based on their personalities and circumstances."

[grim lark]

(Lets restart the hn2a1 aaron=guest drama)

[light pendant]

i dont agree

[grim lark]

Me either i was kidding

[light pendant]

lol

[grim lark]

So, essentially what Hello Neighbor2 was meant to go like

[earnest cape]

Also don’t know if you know this but Jacob will break into other Peoples homes just like the Player.

[light pendant]

exactly

[grim lark]

I thought it was kind of obvious?

[earnest cape]

At least that’s what’s planned.

[light pendant]

i knew that

[earnest cape]

Just wanted to point it out.

[grim lark]

Oki

[brittle rain]

Oh that's still pretty cool

[light pendant]

i also think there will be multiple people like that

[brittle rain]

I like the sound of this one, honestly. Puts a different twist

[earnest cape]

Imagine breaking into a house and seeing Jacob doing it as well

[raven pilot]

idk because RBO was very fun

[brittle rain]

"oh. Hi."

[earnest cape]

Well HN3 took a different turn from RBO we have to just watch development as it goes.

[grim lark]

Question:
is Nikita qualified for such an ambitious AI network?

[earnest cape]

“So you like to do this too huh?”

“Mhm”

[grim lark]

(I didnt say Neural)

Like, yeah, he got the perfect vision. But then

[brittle rain]

awkward silence

"You come here often?"

[earnest cape]

He can definitely manage to work it, he has a way bigger Team so he could do it if he really focuses it, but remember nothings final since it’s just in Prototype as of now.

[brittle rain]

Loll

[raven pilot]

yeah, but like we saw in the teasers from the final rbo versions, it was almost hn3 because it was player vs ai and it looked fun too

[earnest cape]

Lol

[earnest cape]

Fair.

[raven pilot]

but i agree with you

[light pendant]

im gonna take a break from discord and draw something.

bye

[earnest cape]

I’m happy Nikita wants to make Development Open but he shouldn’t make it too open, I know people aren’t gonna like this but they shouldn’t make their Alphas or any Build Public for people since it’s quite literally what causes People to be disappointed seeing things that didn’t make it into the Game or not end up how they liked it in the Alphas.

[raven pilot]

fr

but i remember seeing he saying there will be a public build

[earnest cape]

HN1 and HN2 both have the issue of: “Lack of Content” and the Main Reason to that is the belief of things being scrapped from the Game.

[raven pilot]

or it is madela effect from my mind

[tender stump]

who cares if they are disappointed

i'd rather have a good game shaped by community opinion than a bad game because they hid it away from everyone and got no feedback

[earnest cape]

I’ve made this point before so many times and I drag it a lot but Halo Infinite had more than half of its content scrapped but you wouldn’t know that since non of their Alphas were published.

[tender stump]

that happens with a lot of games

[earnest cape]

They can still get good Community Opinions by showcasing Gameplay.

[tender stump]

its not really special to halo infinite

[earnest cape]

Yeah but EGS makes it a fault because they publish their Builds.

[tender stump]

no? you cant decide if a game is fun if you havent played it yourself

[earnest cape]

Then publish a Demo…

[tender stump]

too late for a demo if your game sucks

[earnest cape]

Not the Developer Builds.

[tender stump]

?

a demo happens right before release

thats way too late for the community to say "wow this is shit"

[earnest cape]

I think it’s fine for some Builds but not too many that are packed with a ton of of Ideas.

[raven pilot]

idk, hn2 demo was before realese

[tender stump]

EGS isnt at fault for players having wrong expectations considering they always state these are early builds

[tender stump]

yeah thats what i just said

[earnest cape]

Fair.

I think some Build are okay

Like 1-2

But 5 like HN1 is too much

[raven pilot]

fr

[earnest cape]

I’m fine if EGS wants to publish Build but they shouldn’t overdo it with too many Builds or Builds packed with their Content and Ideas they were working on.

Anyways

Based on this image it seems NPCs will chase each other, might be Jacob escaping after Breaking In the Area Signed was at.

[brittle rain]

Where do y'all find these images?

[abstract elk]

Why is he blue

[brittle rain]

He a big Smurf leave him alone

No fr though why is he blue lol

[soft gulch]

idk

why is iris purple

[brittle rain]

That is also a very valid question

Are they hyperthermic?

Just maybe

[wintry zephyr]

Nope

Jacob ate a blueberry seed and now he's blue

Iris ate a grape seed and now she's purple

Very simple

[abstract elk]

Ah yes, very down to earth and realistic

Our people are blue

[wintry zephyr]

Supernatural powers ≠ supernatural origin

It's very clear the guest is supernatural

[soft gulch]

idk, i know nikita said he was not supernatural, i don't know in what way did he say it exactly

[wintry zephyr]

Unless HNVR was retconned i don't think there's a way for the guest to not be supernatural (supernatural Powers)

Literally every depiction with seen of him (except the early HG/HN 2 alphas) he Is doing supernatural stuff

In HN 2 he has like super fast speed and crazy jumps

HNVR he can turn into a crow

Reset day he can shapeshift

In layout2 he is like contorting his body in unnatural ways

[frigid kernel]

if i was given a dollar every time the supernatural topic comes up

[wintry zephyr]

Youd be rich

[wintry zephyr]

And also Alex saying we've already seen the guest in the series

And unless he was one of the crowfaces (doubt) it's pretty clear the crow transformation ability isn't retconned

[soft gulch]

i still think that maybe nikita misunderstood what they meant with supernatural and thought they were saying if he was a ghost or an spirit, i can't see any other way to explain that

[frigid kernel]

yeah

[wintry zephyr]

It seems the story is going in the human guest direction

I don't think It's someone in a costume, so probably he used to be an human but isn't anymore (most likely Franklin)

[soft gulch]

oh right

i forgot about franklin

since i haven't seen the show and i only saw the teaser they released on season 2 i forgot that the neighbor had a brother at all

yeah maybe

[daring gyro]

what is it
like 2 times a day

[wintry zephyr]

Please watch it

It's one of the few actually good official HN media out there

[copper vessel]

Tbh, how does the guest pounce on the hello copter, and bash his head against a door and break boards with ease?

[gusty bloom]

May sound stupid but is peterson gonna be in hn3? Do we know yet??

[copper vessel]

Yes he will be Nikita said

[soft gulch]

we also have parts of his design

[gusty bloom]

Yeah i just saw

[tall sorrel]

there are two confirmed returning characters:
Theodore Peterson and the Guest

[earnest cape]

Not really blue, he’s more grey, but it’s an Art Style thing, Iris is purple so…

[abstract elk]

Get them jackets

They are freezing

[light pendant]

1000 Yard Stare

[earnest cape]

But Jacob IS wearing a jacket…

[light pendant]

and a turtleneck AND a beanie

[abstract elk]

Its not working app

[brittle rain]

Bro looks like he just came from trolls lolll

[gusty bloom]

i still cant believe hn 3 is real i randomly opened the server (havent been into hn since vr released) and I saw this channel i had to make sure i wasnt seeing things 😭😭🙏

[mighty orchid]

Yea rbo got turned into hn3. In case you didn’t know rbo was a game

[gusty bloom]

I had heard of it but was never really interested I like hn as a solo player game secret neighbor is probably my least played game in the franchise

no wait its hello engineer

yeah forgot about hello engineer didnt even bother buying
