nikita's channel has videos for rbo chars from 2 years ago

the first 2 is everything but horror
untold grotto
but most likely the actual concept was created in the summer of 2023
and Alexander joined the team in 2023 December for rbo
untold grotto
we don't know
frozen mauve
and why hes breaking in?
untold grotto
alexander said there was no thing of him breaking into houses at the moment
so there won't be anything like that in the prototype gameplay
but Nikita meant it in a subtle way, so narratively there could be sequences like this later in the game
frozen mauve
ok

it would be cool teaming up with npc

If you wanna shape your own story "fully", pray HN3 will support modding.

The character designs in HN3 are super based on how Nikita draws humans
sturdy forge
Same Definitely like them more than HN2 character designs
gusty bloom
I like what we have seen of peterson, jacob is cool and the art of the tall guy in the door looks actually kinda creepy
And ofc the other npcs like signed look cool too
I like how they are using the vandals again
gusty bloom
Same Definitely like them more than HN2 character designs
Hn 2 characters were more goofy if anything
They got the REAL Tim Lockwood to be the police officer 🥶🥶

I just don't like overly cartoons designs
HN3 is definitely like middle of the road when you compare how cartoony HN2s character designs

Oh ok
Thats fine
Also I heard its gonna be darker and more grim than hn2 and hn1
Is that true
The steam page looks grim
elfin ridge
I heard it's gonna be lighter and more cozy or something than hn2 and hn1
covert kestrel
hn3 is basically a town where all the ais have jobs, opinions on others characters, etc
the player can influence the events that happen in the town
covert kestrel
So kinda like hn2
basically the devlog 1 premise for hn2 but better
true ermine
awesome
elfin ridge
man in the hat
true ermine
Im looking at the screen shots it looks more grey and dull than the other games
Which I like, it gives more of a spooky vibe
And the 3rd screenshot
The tall guy is so eerie
covert kestrel
Im looking at the screen shots it looks more grey and dull than the other games
the town is much older than it is in hn1 and hn2

I like that cuz it makes it look more grim and dark than light colors like in hn2 and 1
And the environments look realistic too

We have three types of styles combined for HN3, to achieve the desired vibe.
It's Scandinavian, American rural and Eastern European rural architecture

i appreciate how you guys have managed to make the town look abandoned but still liveable enough to explain why people are still there

Was the question ever answered of who is animating for hn3
opaque cosmos

sonic birch
Great.

the animator 🧠

I wonder if the climbing feature will be kept. it actually was good to have in HN2
I got used to it

Hi Yaroslav btw if you are still here
sonic birch
Hi

I think the hn3 developers were inspired by hl2 beta
late veldt
its just the style of architecture
blissful zinc
I think the hn3 developers were inspired by hl2 beta
Both of them draw from eastern european architecture
late veldt
not direct inspiration both things just happen to use the same style
frigid kernel
nah, I'll show you passages like that from real life
but in style, maybe
royal solar

no because when is aw it
it actually reminded me of HL

Its a bus from hn2 alphas

no it's a bus from my memories

i agree
sonic birch
HN2 alphas invented buses
What did I ride to school on before 2020 then 😭
frigid kernel
it's "THE" bus

I love buses, I'll def use it for renders someday, if we get it

is it a clock tower
sonic birch
Sure looks like it with the circle in the middle of the top

I love the clock tower oh my gosh
welcome to city seventeen
late veldt
like hn2s raven brooks didnt feel like this to me
sonic birch
i like how the town feels very
Same, a problem I had with hn2 was how generic stuff looked, mainly the houses, they were LITERALLY called generic buildings, but this time they feel actually real, and I love that
late veldt
nah the actual houses in hn2 were fine it was the map design itself
it felt very "heres all the important locations dumped onto a map"
sonic birch
Yeah
frigid kernel
it felt very "heres all the important locations dumped onto a map"
and it was too clean
like
"a town" not a town where people live and things happen, or how to say
sonic birch
I hope the map is bigger in HN3, but not too big so it takes a gazillion years to get from place to place
frigid kernel
iirc this is a test map? or smth like that?
late veldt
honestly it doesnt matter how big the map is for me they just need to make going from point A to point B interesting

barely any games have had that style in general

we used to have soviet brutalist style everywhere back then, it was horrifying to live in such environment

It reminds me of the concept art for hn2 with the industrial feeling

this game looks perfect
i cannot wait to see more
this town already beats the HN 2 town
it feels like a real town
with the buildings
as someone who grew up and lives in a slavic country those buildings are literally perfect

which is idk...weirdcore? eeriecore? not sure what is it called, not dreamcore, that is smth else
late veldt
eeriecore is definitely the intention
royal solar
yeah it all brings memories from the 2000's to me
which is idk...weirdcore? eeri...
its really really interesting
eeriecore for sure
a hn game actually set in a slavic looking town
and its eerie
its perfect i will feel right at home
frigid kernel
last time I checked on eeriecore, there were barely any results
I thought it doesn't even exist
late veldt
iirc nikita said hn3 is meant to feel eerie and nostalgic at the same time

that kind of is a HN 2 character

itd be nice to see nielsen and leslie again at least since we got so little of them

maybe he would but they would be redesigned
would be weird for them to be just gone

i think it leans into nikitas style of handling perspective in stories
lunar trail
you dont need to kill characters to make them not appear in a game
frigid kernel
unless they are dead
IF they are dead, they should be vibin in the cemetery
or should have pictures on the wall about them or some kind of easter egg
half of the cast died for nothing 😭

this is just how our new protagonist sees the town

they all got turned into meals for the guest
yum yum yum
frigid kernel
😭
royal solar
but also idk how it would fit because again the town is completely different eve...
or i mean
i could be off the mark here but the map seems huge
they can like include the HN 2 part of the town in it ig
or something
we never know
HN devs are always full of surprises
late veldt
they can like include the HN 2 part of the town in it ig
god i hope not
place was too flat
need my terrain differences
royal solar
they would probably ofc rework it to fit
im thinking more so the map being split into sections like a real town. Old raven brooks, new raven brooks and streets and stuff
could be dope
probably wont happen but
a girl can dream
unique turret
royal solar
tiny guy
late veldt
need my terrain differences
(im canadian btw my town is practically made of hills lol)
late veldt
something im hoping for is something ive been calling "immersive fast travel"
like instead of warping to a point on the map you can take a bus or a train there
ive really wanted a system like that since hn2
late veldt
itd add to that feeling of nostalgia i think
royal solar
and maybe even we could see the bus while we are inside instead of it just fading to black or something
i would love that sm
late veldt
and i just enjoy immersive stuff like that lol
royal solar
and maybe even we could see the bus while we are inside instead of it just fadin...
like being in the bus looking out of the window while we drive to our destination
oh that would be peak
late veldt
my idea is you actually have the option to ride it all the way to the destination or you could fast forward
cyberpunk has a system like that fun fact
i think using public transport is a better choice compared to getting to drive something yourself since the more narrow and confined architecture will 100% lead to you getting stuck somewhere in a vehicle lol
royal solar
i agree
i would love that
like buses or taxis something like that
i would also like the npcs to drive cars around would make it so much more alive
although if im not being mistaken the town is half abandoned right
frigid kernel
I mean maybe you can drive those cars in the future?? or just hop on them while they go from A to B... ik they are placeholders, but I like them a lot lol
Smith's car was placeholder too, and how much it fit there
royal solar
i feel like driving cars in the game would take away from it
idk tho it could be awesome
anything can be awesome if done well
late veldt
id prefer my idea since i think not having vehicles would be more interesting
it makes you have to work around the towns systems and not your own
also just a lot of open world games just give you a car it feels a bit saturated lol
royal solar
yeah i think having buses that follow a routine would be interesting
since you can miss a bus if ur late
frigid kernel
there are possibilities yeah
bus, tram...metro.... 🥹 metro goes above the ground too, here
late veldt
dude if we get a metro system if we have to explore the tunnels and theres something down there i will not recover
i mean we might get that anyways with the town catacombs
royal solar
dude if we get a metro system if we have to explore the tunnels and theres somet...
that would be scary
those tunnels are DARK
if im in there and i hear something move
im out
late veldt
they put fake neighbor down there lmao
frigid kernel
IF we ever got a metro system then I'm here to educate chat about the culture and phenomenon that is the cccp metros, because OMG
that is a style on it's own

and the best thing is, they'd fit HN bc of the style
late veldt
yeah if they add a train this is the vibe id want rom it
if nikita pops up again today we should ask about this
frigid kernel
I hope we will have some cool old vehicles that are held together by hope only, I absolutely love them
royal solar

#work-in-progress, these are one of those placeholders that I wish weren't known as placeholders

i dont think the actual maps are placeholder

if we get more designs like that guy its gonna be scary lol

for example the church or whatever that is
doesnt have texture
and its basic geometry
