[frosty gyro]

[pastel basin]

nikita is online hes prolly reading the chat rn

just ask your question without pinging he'll answer eventually prolly

[hollow condor]

Oh I noticed it’s something not based on this channel

[untold grotto]

i don't think they read the chat when they are online

they probably use discord to communicate with other devs

[mental summit]

hey nikita, will nicky be in hn3

[untold grotto]

he cant answer

[mental summit]

oh yea, i forgot

[untold grotto]

its story question

[hollow condor]

Yeeee grandeturisto

[proven bough]

That's what I'm saying

and I'm all for it

[severe merlin]

Probably because we both have similar tastes in art and inspired by Eastern European architecture. That’s why it also have Half-Life 2 vibes

[wide oyster]

Nikita what is your overall opinion on the guest?

[tall pulsar]

Half life 2 goes hard

[gray dawn]

Nikita i would love to play the little prototypes that you have made, is there a chance of you release it?

[slender basin]

One of them is pinned here

[gray dawn]

oh

nice

maybe Nikita can put the other ones to download if he wants

[unique turret]

when they say that their pc caught fire did it like burn or like actoual fire?

[unique turret]

will there be updates?

[desert bear]

wut

[woven lodge]

I have a theory...

[untold grotto]

half life x hello neighbor collab no way

[brazen trench]

yooooooo

anyone have horror game suggestions on mobile

[grim lark]

Yes! I have a ton…!
Oh wait, mobile?
Uhhhhh…..

[frosty gyro]

we need a iris emoji

[violet zephyr]

it's a one-off prototype

[restive oxide]

Yes

[low gate]

no is need sharkreetron mogi

[sly horizon]

[low gate]

is not the sherk

is the lawrn

[frosty gyro]

Is want both sharkathron and iris emoji

[muted hemlock]

Nikita do you plan to tie everything together nicely in S3? Will it finally answer our questions?

[fluid flame]

i dont think hes in charge of anything regarding the AS

[oblique parcel]

Yeah I don’t Think he Even worked on the story of the AS

[open plaza]

💀

this is so #hn3-discussion

[untold grotto]

wnd nikita is not even part of the production of AS

[muted hemlock]

Oh yeah i forgot

Nikita works on the games

Sorry I completely forgot

[subtle cipher]

Nikita how would you say hello neighbor 3 development is going so far?

And how would the story go throughout the game?

[frosty gyro]

No story questions

[lunar trail]

Yea, he doesnt answer story questions yet

[low gate]

I is read 3 chapter of the baddie blud

[agile kelp]

That’s an Alex question not Nikita

[muted hemlock]

Thanks, mb

[real willow]

Ok so I have been away from hello neighbour quiet while and I heard about HN 3 I think HN 3 needs people like on side walks walking and we can prob interact with them or something...

[lapis gate]

can someone help me with hn2

can someone help me with hn1 or hn2 or hn hide n seek

[eternal dagger]

help how

[keen hemlock]

i imagine hn3 like this

[oblique parcel]

Apperantly hn3 ai seem to be using goap atm at least

Which is cool

[wintry zephyr]

Intelesting

[oblique parcel]

Goap was used in a game called fear and it apperantly have really good ai

[wintry zephyr]

Having a HN game with an actual good AI after so long would be great

[oblique parcel]

True

[knotty rock]

I concur

[frosty gyro]

jacob is working to get money to get food

[cunning yacht]

the best AIs were before HN1 alpha 2, and HN2 alpha 1/1.5

the rest kinda sucked

[frigid kernel]

HN AI was good
it was the house which was a bit big

[jade night]

PA's ambush 😔

[frigid kernel]

imo they actually made a good AI multiple times
but there's many things that modify it's behavior and effectiveness (or how to say)

[wintry zephyr]

That's not even the problem tbh, the act 3 house navegation was just too focused on parkour and puzzles, the alpha 1 house worked better for the AI because of the more narrow hallways and smaller rooms

And the elevator which the neighbor used

[frigid kernel]

I'm not sure, if a big house, or a big map is a bigger challenge for an AI

[wintry zephyr]

It depends honestly

[low gate]

Member that one time they made the AI somewhat good in HN2 to ruin it again 2 days later

[low gate]

is gree

[low gate]

he do book?

[frigid kernel]

which build?

[low gate]

full release

[frigid kernel]

but like
release build?

[low gate]

yep

they made it good for a minute

ruined it again not long after

[frigid kernel]

i remember having fun in the release build bc the final battle neighbor AI was really good

[low gate]

kinda

defintely better than the standard AI

[frigid kernel]

yeah
there was one build, where it started changing
to the current state, where i can trigger a no-catch god mode on purpose

and somehow - idk how - always neighbor was the smartest

i could easily trick the others, but he knew stuff

[low gate]

but all you do really is camp in that one cubby hole and grab the wrench from under his butt and only leave to grab the fire extinguisher and finish the game

it was more of a first floor nothing burger

[frigid kernel]

yeeeah, but that's not fun
i remember loading cheats to see, how fast he runs
he went nyoooom

[low gate]

as they decided to lock all the doors to everywhere and instead of having to got to different areas and find shit while neighbor hunts they decided keep everything within 2 meters of eachother

[frigid kernel]

I kinda hope the HN3 AI will be similar. maybe like in prealpha of HN, just without the flaws.
the other end is hn2 alpha 1.5 Guest, that thing can go crazy, last time he somehow tried to torture me??! he was always after me and somehow clipped to catch me even
bruh

[low gate]

Was there anything really that amazing about HN2 ai anyway?

[frigid kernel]

final battle became...tedious
release version was much better

[low gate]

HN3 AI will (hopefully) have swag features

[frigid kernel]

neutral network roots maybe
rare actions
i never saw him bathing, others did

[low gate]

release verdsion was Babys first AI really

[low gate]

beta version was better you mean

he did so much stuff in the beta

oh wait

HN3 discussion

lets vacate

[frigid kernel]

yeah lol

[royal solar]

where did you get this screenshot ?

oh nbm

i found it

sorry !!

[main dove]

This probably would be a successful game for the people that whines over the AI

[icy breach]

Why is Peterson’s house so big in the HN3 videos? Act 3 doesn’t count because it’s all in Nicky’s dream, and most of the game is how a kid will see Peterson’s house in their perspective.

What’s the need for Peterson to make his house bigger? Even in HN2 his house is at the same size like act 1…

[wintry zephyr]

What are you talking about?

We didn't even see his house

[blissful river]

You talking about this?

Because it’s not his house.

And it’s scrapped.

[wintry zephyr]

RIP better act 3 house

This looked beautiful, sad it was scrapped

[blissful river]

yeah

I loved it

the real model was also so good

[wintry zephyr]

The lighting in there is just too good

[wintry zephyr]

That's a perfect house for Theo ngl

Bro would definitively live there

[icy breach]

It is?

Honestly I kind off liked it, but I was confused because it didn’t followed up with HN2 and act 3 house. Still, I would like to see the final house being similar to it

When was it scrapped

How will the new house look like

[jade night]

❌

[blissful river]

Nikita told me

[jade night]

wow

[blissful river]

I asked if the RBO house was still being used and he said no

[jade night]

A dev said it wasn't being used at the moment

[blissful river]

and Nikita

[jade night]

it's not scrapped, they just don't know where to put it yet.

[blissful river]

lol

[blissful river]

let me find the message

@jade night This is all he said.

So it could be used

But probably not.

😢

[untold grotto]

this house will probably used btw

according to aleksandr

but not in the prototype

[blissful river]

This is what I’m talking about lol

[jade night]

Not really "specific"

[blissful river]

Yea. But it is an answer.

[jade night]

just HN3, could be the final game, could be a playtest build.

[blissful river]

Where did you get your info?

[blissful river]

Yea. Still sad if it’s not in the final build. All I mean is it’s a cool house design.

[jade night]

It was a message I think sent by that guy who worked with Nikita to develop the RBO prototype

I was in here when he said it.

[blissful river]

Ah okay.

[jade night]

It's best to trust their answers when the game is more into development.

[blissful river]

Yeah true.

You never know with EGS lol

[untold grotto]

me and him were probably talking about this

[jade night]

Yeah

[blissful river]

Okay cool

Tried to remake the radio. looks good enough to me.

[jade night]

might be too flat.

[blissful river]

what do you mean? not thick enough?

[jade night]

yeah

[restive oxide]

I hope we get a public pre-alpha sometime in the next month

[open plaza]

[low gate]

The silly nikita is say that he may release prototype january

not a definite

[mortal dove]

I mean it could be neat seeing it in a build incase it doesnt make it to the final game (probably wont)

I know quite a few people who really dont like the RBO house layout

and like the house was fun to play with in the RBO prototype but I sorta doubt it will translate well into singleplayer

[safe raft]

I actually would not mind if they do us this model for the guest in HN3 I think it matches the art style somewhat.

[lunar trail]

This version of the Guest model will always be my favorite

but i doubt they will use it since Guest has a design specifically for HN3 iirc

[safe raft]

Mine too

[vast elk]

do yall think that hn is dead?

[frosty gyro]

Its sorta

[safe raft]

Somewhat

[blissful river]

Does anyone know how this things are different? They just seem like gates you can open.

(I know this is from RBO, but I’m curious)

[wintry zephyr]

Same

One of the things i like about the new design is that the cloak looks like a wing when the guest is running

But i still prefer the old design, it make him way more distinct from the forest protectors

[simple dragon]

why is me and cms game here

[restive oxide]

Yeah, the old design gives the guest so much more personality, in HN2fg he seems mindless, in HN2 a2 he seemed so lively and happy and goofy and just overall fun to mess with

[void girder]

Will the rest of the prototypes be released?

[blissful river]

because its a better photo of that thing lol.

[grave lava]

Have they posted any concept art for the HN3 guest

[frosty gyro]

No

[lunar trail]

Nope, We havent saw anything of Guest in HN3 yet

[frosty gyro]

We know its designed

[covert kestrel]

the ones in the left image can only be opened with a lever/button

the ones in the bottom right image can be opened

[near meadow]

I dont like that guest design

Im hoping for something like this:

Credit to chicken_20.

[blissful river]

thanks

[lunar trail]

This looks really cool but i doubt it'll be like that since I dont think the Tallman is the Guest

[covert kestrel]

it would be weird if the guest had orange skin

[vast wagon]

new guest design

[covert kestrel]

not the guest

[untold grotto]

its not guest

atleast its not confirmed as guest

[covert kestrel]

its definitely not the guest

[lunar trail]

Guest showing any skin looks very wrong

[covert kestrel]

yes

also it would be weird if he was looking directly up constantly

[vast wagon]

you really think that way?

[lunar trail]

someone pull up the image that shows this silhoutte is the tallman from the banner

[frosty gyro]

I do have image but no embed

[covert kestrel]

why would he be looking directly upward

[covert kestrel]

also:

[vast wagon]

idk

[errant pewter]

yes

we've been told

that they can't show us

the Guest yet

I know you guys missed the Guest really much but please stop pointing your fingers at the first HN3 character you see and saying that "ohh this is Guest"

[vast wagon]

Then who is it?

[errant pewter]

I don't know just some guy they've put on for the first batch of HN3 screenshots

we've been told that there would be plenty of characters, no?

[frosty gyro]

There are cool characters in hn3 so far

Such as gas worker jacob,iris,better vandal (signed) and cool steam page character

[errant pewter]

and this individual has a hole in their head

[errant pewter]

yes

[gusty moth]

what

hello neighbor 3?

[night vigil]

yes

hello neighbor 3

[cunning yacht]

i like the artsytle of hn3 but imo the pre alpha style still looks better😬

[restive oxide]

Every character that is appearing in hn3, (I think)

[oblique parcel]

Well guest and mr Peterson Will be in it too

[restive oxide]

I was going to list the characters, but accidentally hit send

[gusty moth]

when is hn3 comming>?

[vital geode]

hi

[restive oxide]

Guest, Theo, Aaron (probably), signed, coned, covered, tall guy, and whoever the player is.

[mortal dove]

they made a new design for him in hn3 btw

[mortal dove]

objectively wrong btw

[tall perch]

fr

[restive oxide]

First prototype is supposedly planned in January.

[mortal dove]

I hope they use it in some kind of spin off game

[cunning yacht]

"in my opinion"

[mortal dove]

actually unique stylized artstyle >>>> unfinished and kind of generic artstyle

[cunning yacht]

i know what you mean but i think it looks cool and hn3 looks very cool to i said

[vital geode]

for some reason i think the models shown in the early pictures for hn3 like the players are placeholder models for the game

[mortal dove]

this is a prototype

we havent even seen the player model

[sonic birch]

me when opinions exist

[vital geode]

ohh ok

[mortal dove]

none of the models exist

[vital geode]

oh

so its just a prototype design?

[mortal dove]

its just an early design

the game is still in a prototype stage

[vital geode]

oh ok

[mortal dove]

I doubt we will see final models until like we get to the late alphas or betas

[vital geode]

also will there be like pre alphas and alpha 1 and stuff like that like hello neighbour 2 ( hello guest)

[mortal dove]

I dont like this tbh

[mortal dove]

idk im not a dev

I hope so but thats for nikita to decide

[vital geode]

yea

i mean almost every single hello neighbor game had an early pre alpha build so hn3 might have a pre alpha to show us how it would look like in the future

[cunning yacht]

the last 2 times we got early alphas most people liked them more then the full game

hn1 and hn2

[vital geode]

yes thats true also remember the time when people found out there was a prototype version of hello guest where the flashlight was red and the player model was full white

[cunning yacht]

yes and the thiefs crawled through the walls💀

[vital geode]

yes like 20 times they had to do the thing in secret neighbor to get a code with 80 letters

[cunning yacht]

i mean most people say hn 1 pa, a1, a2 is peak and hn2 a1 peak so you know

i hope hn3 will be as promising as it looks now

[vital geode]

actually i think the hn2 peak was hello guest the pre alpha of hn 2

[cunning yacht]

i liked the concept too but the puzzles werent good

a few were nice

but the fire extinguisher in the tower was awful

[vital geode]

yea and i think Beatrix would have bin a fun another caracter to add to the other versions then just hello guest

[cunning yacht]

i didnt really liked her design tbh

why they changed the art style in hn2 again the hello guest style was so cool but in hn2 beta they changed it

to worse

[vital geode]

i didint even notice that

[wintry zephyr]

This design looks pretty damn cool, i like the cone shaped beak

I don't think the tall guy is the guest anymore though

[near meadow]

idk

ik

Im hoping

the guest is still taller

[vital geode]

i thought they will keep the og model

[wintry zephyr]

It would be really funny if the tall guy is just bald and has a really long forehead

[vital geode]

theres one thing i still need to know. WHO IS INSIDE THAT COSTUME

[wintry zephyr]

We don't know

[wintry zephyr]

There will likely be more

[vital geode]

its thin and has long legs and arms it has a waist shaped liked a money bag and a beak

[mortal dove]

I actually prefer a lot of stuff from hn1 full game over the alphas main thing being the story. looking back the alpha stories werent that good

alphas did do some things better than the full game tho

[mortal dove]

why are you wording like it was some weird discovery? it was an ARG in SN it was literally the way we found out about hello guest

[cunning yacht]

i guess the storys were kind of placeholders but i dont know it its just a guess

[mortal dove]

I mean....

[vital geode]

oh

[vital geode]

this was in hn 2?

[mortal dove]

pre alpha to alpha 1 seems like a coma thing then from alpha 2 to beta 3 its the father son plot

[mortal dove]

added in the last update

[vital geode]

oh ok

[mortal dove]

its in the cemetary under one of the coffins

if you translate it it mentions her brother Q- (it gets cut off)

Quentin is her brother

you can see a camera monitor and a bunch of empty cups next to the grave showing that he was there mourning

anyway this is getting off topic this is hn3 chat after all

[vital geode]

yea

[mortal dove]

I just hope hn3 finishes Quentin`s story in some way or like at least a spin off game in the future or smth

I loved Quentin I hate seeing him not getting his story finished

[oblique parcel]

It Will not finish it its way in the future and i don’t Think hn3 Will be that connected with hn2 narrative

[vital geode]

or maybe a whole game about quintin based on him

[cunning yacht]

i thought his story was finished bcs they cut hn2?

[vital geode]

we dont know his backstory much tho i think?

[mortal dove]

I doubt Ill like the hn3 protagonist as much as I like Quentin

[mortal dove]

his story ends on a cliffhanger

his story has no conclusion so its not even finished

[cunning yacht]

yes and hn2 was cut so his story is cut too

we propably will never know his full story

[wintry zephyr]

It's not a hole

That's a hoodie

And a really long neck or forehead

[mortal dove]

hn2 is still canon

nikita confirmed this

hn2 released but the story was never finished

[cunning yacht]

yes

[mortal dove]

I really hope they at minimum continue the story in a spin off

[cunning yacht]

and they stopped developing hn2

[mortal dove]

that doesnt mean the story of it needs to be thrown into a ditch

[cunning yacht]

bcs nikita doesnt like it

[mortal dove]

Quentin is a fan favorite character he needs to have a conclusion

[vital geode]

i still do have some questions will we see nicky one day in hn 3 or some day in the future because i belive we saw him on a poster in hn 2 like a trailer i think

[mortal dove]

he never said he didnt like hn2? all I recall him saying is that hn2 wasnt his game anymore

which I can see why he wouldnt wanna go back to it

[cunning yacht]

he said it

he said he isnt proud of it

[mortal dove]

not being proud of it doesnt mean he hates it

[cunning yacht]

but he didnt liked it

he doesnt hate it but he doesnt like it

yk?

[mortal dove]

so? doesnt mean a good character from it cant have their story be continued in a spin off? I dont get your point here

[cunning yacht]

im fully on your side i just said that he doesnt really line hn2

like

[mortal dove]

ok I guess

anyway hn3

[cunning yacht]

yep this is hn3 channel

[mortal dove]

they better not rush out this game for a christmas release again

[cunning yacht]

hopefully

[mortal dove]

hn3 seems like it can actually be a good game. But man do they need time to actually let it be finished

[cunning yacht]

i prefer to wait a year longer then get a buggy unoptimised game

[mortal dove]

hn2 released unfinished and it was so underbaked. Hn2 could have been a good game if they just were given more time.

im willing to wait for hn3

[cunning yacht]

yes

1000% agree

[mortal dove]

but imma be honest im not that hyped for it. like hn3 is everything I wanted from hn2 but the fact hn2 was left in the dirt doesnt leave me with a lot of trust. Nikita is being open about the development of the game and thats good. I hope things continue to keep heading in that direction. But for now the fact hn3 had to come at the expense of hn2 doesnt leave me with a lot of optimism.

[dark ingot]

eh? ngl i feel that even if they had been given more time i feel hn2 was gonna end up underbaked anyways, since it was pretty clear that the game was in some sort of "development hell" during the alpha 2 period

[cunning yacht]

Quentin's story after the open end was started to develop and the concept arts were already finished like the whole story he should just publish the story in a text and show the concept arts then people could at least make fan games that I would find cool

[frigid kernel]

the very exact same was said to hn2, word by word
so I'll just sit back, wait and see the final result

[safe raft]

I agree

[mortal dove]

I feel like the main issue with hn2 is the lack of puzzle variety. I genuinely enjoyed it until I realized the game wasnt giving me anything new past the bakery

[mortal dove]

I think it would be better to salvage that stuff for a potential future spin off game

[frigid kernel]

Basically you do the same thing everywhere
sadly

[cunning yacht]

i think so too but it will never come

[dark ingot]

i think it is the fact the game is unfinished rather then the puzzles

[cunning yacht]

probably both

[dark ingot]

like what nikita said about hn1 in the first devlog, hn2 is pretty much only a fraction of what it was supposed to be

[cunning yacht]

which devlog @dark ingot

[dark ingot]

the first one

[mortal dove]

ok but money

i would pay for a spin off game that concludes Quentin`s story

[cunning yacht]

first hn3 devlog?

[safe raft]

https://tenor.com/view/money-mr-krabs-gif-18326632

[frigid kernel]

money will always ruin everything
u guys better prepare for that

[cunning yacht]

me too but hn2 flopped in sell so the spin off will flop even more so its never coming

[dark ingot]

if you got confused "like what nikita said about hn1 in the first hn3 devlog" i can say too that hn2 was only a fraction of what it was supposed to be

[mortal dove]

I just hope hn3 stays in a reasonable scope. I dont want another thing like the neural network for example. Neural network would have never worked

[mortal dove]

what hn2 didn`t flop?

all that sucked was the game being unfinished

[cunning yacht]

it did flop in sell

[frigid kernel]

maybe it would have, if they kept to the original plan

[cunning yacht]

not too many people buyed it

[mortal dove]

also the spin off game wouldnt even be hn2 it would be something after hn2 but before hn3 a diffrent game. Thats like saying it wasnt worth to make a hn2 cause hn1 wasnt recieved so well

[dark ingot]

it is better bc one thing that pretty much doomed hn2 was being unable to stay focused on a single scope,

[frigid kernel]

how do u know? I'm curious

[sonic birch]

it seems just like HN1, where with every new version of the game, they had a new idea of what they wanted to go with.

[cunning yacht]

hello neighbor 1 was selled about 30m times and hn2 was about 8-10m

[dark ingot]

yeah but far far more worse bc atleast hn1 atleast still had the same concept

[mortal dove]

with hn1 there was some consistency. Like you can see things stay and evolve and the goal was always the same. With hn2 with every build it was completely diffrent

[mortal dove]

that is still a lot of sales? I dont consider that a flop

[frigid kernel]

I'd say, that was their first pc game
it's fine
hn2 was a bit different, since there was a giant breaking point after alpha 2 and they basically
idk
had to figure out, how and where to go
because the plan they had didn't work out
at least that's my takeaway

[mortal dove]

I really feel like hg should have just been a spin off game or smth and not the main sequel to hn1 cause they were not ready for hn2

[cunning yacht]

but they expected more and the money input gave them not much profit

[sonic birch]

you can see when Nikita stopped working on HN2, you can see the slow changes in game development

[dark ingot]

they werent at all, and to be absolutely fair it was a poor decision to reveal hg at all

[mortal dove]

ok but how would a game that has quentin be an instant flop? what you are saying makes no sense. If the game is good and the concept interests people then like ????

that`s like saying hn3 will fail because theodore was in hn2

[cunning yacht]

you dont understand my point. we say hn2 has 10m sells and it is a flop for tinybuild. then the spin off will get less sells bcs not everone will buy the spin off and less people even know quentin bcs hn2 got less sells than hn1 you understand now?

[mortal dove]

theres nothing wrong with having Quentin potentially be a protagonist of a future spin off game

[frigid kernel]

and like to hear it or not, then they also had people in their team who didn't even take their sweet time to research the base material. they rather researched the "landfill" style's nonexistent issues.

you should do research and respect the base material at all times, if you make a sequel

this thing also did matter. at least that's how i see it.

[cunning yacht]

bro doesnt understand me

[mortal dove]

???

people knowing Quentin isnt the point

nobody knows who the hn3 protagonist is but thats not gonna affect the sales

[sonic birch]

calling it landfill when its not even half done yet is just a braindead take

[frigid kernel]

i understand this

[timid root]

It's not the character you play as that defines HN2. It's the gameplay. Unless you mean the name of the game?

[frigid kernel]

still haunts me

[cunning yacht]

im sorry but you dont understand me but i have no clue how to tell it otherwise

[mortal dove]

hn2 looked nice but it took the safest approach it could. the final artstyle just made me feel nothing it wasnt all that unique. Hn3 is doing its own thing which is great

[mortal dove]

how would having a spin off game that has Quentin as the protagonist that could conclude his story be bad for sales? Im not even talking about it being directly tied to hn2.

[cunning yacht]

i mean less people know hn2 so they dont even know quentin and hn2 isnt very liked so a spin off fror quentin wouldnt be good selled bcs not many people know quentin or liked hn2

[frigid kernel]

yeah
after the breaking point,they wanted to play safe, it shows in the final result
problem is, hn was always about experimenting with new ideas
but new ideas either work, or not. they're not safe.

and that's when money joins the picture

[dark ingot]

is there people who call hn2 beta artstyle hn1 oldart 2?

[frigid kernel]

yes yes!

if you (them) put Quentin on a thumbnail, less people click
if you put neighbor, more people click. gameplay is one thing. the actual face of the game is another. games aren't just gameplay but story and characters

[cunning yacht]

i dont know what this means do you agree with me or not😭

[mortal dove]

Having a spin off game have him be the protagonist wouldnt affect sales tho? the only thing that would affect sales badly if the game itself just had a really bad premise that was not interesting or it has bad gameplay.

[mortal dove]

I dont cause you act like Quentin being a protagonist of a diffrent game would kill it which is just not true

theres a lot of other factors.

[cunning yacht]

bro doesnt get me

[mortal dove]

No one is gonna look at a hn game and be like "hey its the journalist from hn2! I HATE THIS GAME"

[mortal dove]

your arguments are just not that good dude.

[cunning yacht]

i didnt even said it dude

[mortal dove]

anyway this is way off topic and im done with this conversation

this hn3 chat so lets talk about that instead

[cunning yacht]

you just dont understand my arguments lmao

[mortal dove]

you either worded them really poorly or you are just wrong I dont know what to tell you

[dark ingot]

if it makes you feel better, i kinda actually do, but the way you express it is way to confusing for twisted egg to understand

[mortal dove]

there no reason why quentin cant be a protagonist of a future hn game

[cunning yacht]

yea im not good at english😅

[frigid kernel]

i think it's a language barrier thing

as always 🥲

[mortal dove]

anyway I love the architecture in hn3 reminds of the times I would visit my grandma during the summer (I live in what most people consider eastern europe)

the atmosphere and everything just makes me feel nostalgic

[cunning yacht]

the car looks kinda goofy but i like the atmosphere too

[mortal dove]

reminds me of the times I would just go walking around a small town just exploring old buildings

[dark ingot]

ngl really want to see how they do the cars bc right now they surely are very janky looking

[mortal dove]

it reminds me of those memories

[frigid kernel]

i like that car
somehow they always make placeholder cars memorable

[mortal dove]

reminds me of the times I would like play games with the local kids there too

it was some weird version of hide and seek where you had to hide from the "seeker" but you needed to reach a certain spot without getting spotted

not sure what it might be called in english

[frigid kernel]

if they added a few brutalist statues, then I'd straight up go back to the 90's with hn3 in mind

[mortal dove]

It was fun as hell

I wish I could go back and play games like that

[dark ingot]

very out of context comment here, but theres a broken toilet outside my house and with the messy foliage around my house it makes up a interesting scene lel

[mortal dove]

hn3 is still set in the US so I dont think that choice would make sense

[mortal dove]

ah classic

I remember walking back home from school and there was just a random broken toilet on the side walk

[frigid kernel]

dude you mentioned those two letters and the soul left my body under a second

[mortal dove]

what did I even write

hold on I forgot everything that I said in the last minutes I think I made a typo

[dark ingot]

ngl love the way these stairs look just by pure raw lighting, reminds me back of how they faked it doing fully textured stairs back in the hn1 prototype house

[mortal dove]

OHHH

I meant to say the US like the USA

typo

my bad

[frigid kernel]

ah thank God 🥲
i still got reminded sadly

[tall perch]

you wrote down the abbreviation of.... a-animated.... series...

[mortal dove]

https://tenor.com/view/box-hello-neighbor-neighbor-1-explosion-gif-9465561622556334707

[tall perch]

YIKES! got chills just by typing it out.

[mortal dove]

real horror

[frigid kernel]

this time the terror is real

[mortal dove]

dude why would you type that its extremely scary

[tall perch]

I DONT KNOw

[mortal dove]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-neighbor-real-life-search-and-rescue-vr-trailer-gif-12355495124449965448

[tall perch]

dont blame me

[frigid kernel]

that was a horrible thing to write for hnvr tho
the terror was already real in hn but ok

[tall perch]

they meant "real", because the game is in VR, making a more immersive experience, making it feel real.

[frigid kernel]

oh
sadge

i never tried vr, ever
couldn't

[restive oxide]

I hope Nikita reveals some more characters, or character models in devlog 2

[mortal dove]

https://tenor.com/view/dantdm-minecraft-villager-minecraft-memes-get-real-gif-12112495862115042702

[dark ingot]

died 2016 was born 2024: welcome back oldart wallpaper 1

[mortal dove]

we already know of a few

[restive oxide]

Well duh.. I mean the rest of them

[frigid kernel]

lol

similar indeed
this wallpaper and the hg couch just survived everything

[mortal dove]

we`ll see them in time

[sonic birch]

old friend

[stoic monolith]

U know

Hello neighbor 1 could have made a nice robbery game

Your a robber trying to steal stuff but then as you rob the house u have a choice to look through the secrets of the house

[spiral quiver]

This texture, while similar to that one, is not the same.

[dark ingot]

well duh, ofc they look different, i was just making a joke with them practically being the same type of flower pattern

[untold grotto]

we will most likely receive the Prototype next month

but the prototype is not even a shadow of the fg's shadow

it will be a small gameplay test of 3 characters

[whole siren]

i was browsing the hn games on steam and i saw 3 and thought i was trippin

[clear dagger]

genuinely excited now that niki si back

[opaque summit]

he is?

[clear dagger]

the dev not the character btw

[frosty gyro]

You mean nikita?

[clear dagger]

yes

[fluid flame]

they're spelled differently anyways but okay

[opaque summit]

oh

[clear dagger]

ik

[restive oxide]

Which 3 tho?

[untold grotto]

signed
iris
jacob

[restive oxide]

Swweeeettt

I really hope we see coned 3d model sometime soon

Maybe covered too

[untold grotto]

he will be in pre-alpha ig

[restive oxide]

Hopefully

[latent cobalt]

Is Hello Neighbor 3 going to have a vent system like RBO?

[untold grotto]

prototype

not sure but probably

[worn stone]

Any update of hn3

[oblique parcel]

Not recently because they are still on christmas break

[copper vessel]

You're not sure, so why are you spreading rumours.

[untold grotto]

im not saying it

nikita said the prototype could be released next month

[copper vessel]

You shouldn't be saying it

[untold grotto]

but its not certain

[frosty gyro]

nikita is really tempted

to release it

[high fulcrum]

im happy its comeing

[cunning yacht]

I cant wait to play it DAY 1!

[ionic spear]

you have to wait

Do you think it could be signed Aaron?

[untold grotto]

no

[ionic spear]

why?

[vital geode]

what i belive could happen in hn 3 at the start we see our player driving in his car but then he notices a boy with a sign on his head he walks to him to ask if hes ok and then the boy runs away then a guest jumps on to the player making our player go unconscious then he wakes up in the hospital and there is a doctor standing next to him telling him what happend and then the player drives back to his house

[ionic spear]

nothing like this will happen

[vital geode]

ik because its just what i belive not that it will actually happen

[ionic spear]

Such an introduction for hello neighbor would be ridiculous.

[vital geode]

let me guess is it because its almost the same as the hn2 intro?

[ionic spear]

no

[vital geode]

or is it because it makes no sense?

[ionic spear]

one: signed is enemy. two: I don't think the guest will appear right at the beginning of the game. three:There will be no talking in the game

[vital geode]

ok

[wintry zephyr]

Signed is not necessarily an "enemy"

That will depend on his mood and relationship with the player i think

Your actions affect everything around you. Including others

[ionic spear]

It may not be the same for signed.

[wintry zephyr]

Wdym

[ionic spear]

signed will most likely be an enemy

[wintry zephyr]

Like i said

That depends on his relationship with you

[ionic spear]

The game isn't out yet and evidence suggests it will be a signed enemy.

[wintry zephyr]

Nikita said your actions affect others

It isn't like HN2 where everyone is trying to catch you

The NPCs have their own lives and goals

So signed can be an enemy or a friend depending on your reputation with him

Atleast that's what i understood from it

Im assuming the NPCs can be agressive, neutral or friendly

[safe raft]

I really hope the guest will stalk us in HN3 that was such a good mechanic.

[frigid kernel]

I want to be the one who stalks the guest

[wintry zephyr]

I think the guest will act smth like this:

At night the guest goes hunting and stalks the player and other NPCs (he will do that apparently, not sure if it's true), at day the guest will find a shelter to stay in and search for things like food or smth?

[safe raft]

That would be cool

[main dove]

Hn3 leak... shit...

[steep remnant]

what

[wintry zephyr]

What are you talking about

[daring forge]

What leak

[blissful river]

No one knows 🤷‍♂️

[main dove]

I'm just making a desperate joke, bruh

[clear dagger]

no need to hope

[sand bobcat]

Y’all got me too hyped for hello neighbor 3 I’m itching like a fiend for it-

[clear dagger]

i can wait. they need time anyways.

[sand bobcat]

Well I mean yeah, obviously I want them to take their time and make it as good as possible. Just saying I’m excited is all

[clear dagger]

oh yeah same

i dont wanna get too excitede

but im not like everyone who said hn2 was shit

i enjoyed it, just wish they finished it

i dont care about their promises on the games, as long as i had fun and smiled

and screamed

because i turned the wrong corner

[hollow breach]

Bro what is that PFP?

[clear dagger]

what about it.

[hollow breach]

Some black fox thing rizzing up some brown racoon

[clear dagger]

that is the funniest thing ive heard someone say about my pfp and its completely wrong lol

first, both foxes, second, its visualised depression

[knotty rock]

[sonic aurora]

Does anyone have a current theory on what's going to happen in HN 3?

[wintry zephyr]

What was bro thinking 😭😭😭

[wintry zephyr]

Nah

I think we'll have to wait until nikita start to answer story related questions to start assuming what the story could potentially be like

But RN i have no clue at all

[sonic aurora]

Fair point

[clear dagger]

?

[wintry zephyr]

Talking about the Matt dude

[clear dagger]

oh wym

[gusty temple]

Will Theodore Peterson be in Hello Neighbor 3???

[fluid flame]

yes

[clear dagger]

who would be the neighbor we are saying hello to if not :(

[gusty temple]

The person in the painting looking at Theodore Peterson!

[lunar trail]

his not fully revealed HN3 design

[gusty temple]

He will be an old man???

[lunar trail]

Yea

[untold grotto]

but he won't be in the prototype build

[neon ether]

Interesting, how many characters will be in prototype build?

[untold grotto]

3

signed
iris
jacob

[frosty gyro]

Welcome to old town population -4- 3

[neon ether]

Iris is npc?

[untold grotto]

yes

jacob too

[frosty gyro]

All of these characters are

[untold grotto]

its the same in signed, but in the prototype it's most likely an enemy NPC

and most likely the player model will not be used in the prototype

[oblique parcel]

Them adding stuff to make the prototype more accesible for People in general is a really good sign

As i Think that’s something some disliked about hn1 and hn2 alpha’s that they had no clue what to do

Hello Neighbor 2 fg did player accessability the best out of any Hello Neighbor game in my opinion like teaching people the controls and mechanics

[neon ether]

Ue5 optimization

Just like stalker 2...

I think they could be use UE4... But... UE5... Why?

[sand bobcat]

I’m Ngl I really like the direction that hello neighbor 3 is going in, idk what it was but I LOVED rbo online. So this is turning into a win for me lol

[fluid flame]

raven brooks online online

[sand bobcat]

Exactly

(Ngl I couldn’t remember the whole name of it)

[frosty gyro]

Raven Brooks Online

[sand bobcat]

Ye

Very fun little prototype 👍

[ionic spear]

You can ask fangame producers to make rbo

[untold grotto]

wayron croobs nonile when

[sand bobcat]

Finally, something to throw my money at

[sand bobcat]

It will never be the same, I will always miss my net blaster 😔

[ionic spear]

no need to be sad

[sand bobcat]

I can’t be happy unless I’m throwing glue at 4 different people breaking into my home and shooting at them with a net gun

[ionic spear]

Don't you think it's ridiculous to have a flashlight in Hello Neighbor 3? After all, the game will take place in today's years. and nobody uses flashlights nowadays

[ionic spear]

🤣

[sand bobcat]

They’d use the flashlight on their phones, life’s been hard. They’re on a budget lol

[daring gyro]

i use flashlights

[ionic spear]

I thought so too but I didn't write it down

[ionic spear]

why

[untold grotto]

why not

[daring gyro]

because in the darkness of night in a forest i can not use anything else

i will not elaborate further

[sand bobcat]

Hello neighbor 3 but the neighbor is sick of the shit and bought a 12 gauge shotgun

[tender stump]

a phone flashlight is not gonna be enough for a forest

[ionic spear]

yes

[tender stump]

besides raven brooks is cut off from most of the world

seemingly

[sand bobcat]

They live in the giant fish bowl

[ionic spear]

And the police do nothing against the forest protectors

[oblique parcel]

Funny how similar this Feels to reset day besides it not being abandoned in the book

[untold grotto]

because most of the police are also forest protectors

[ionic spear]

Could Officer Leslie be the Forest Protectors?

[untold grotto]

in AS probably

[ionic spear]

what is AS?

[untold grotto]

animated series

[errant pewter]

My crappy laptop can't even run the playtest without instantly freezing but gosh do I miss RBO

[sand bobcat]

That’s what I’m saying bro! They took my precious favorite lil game and shot it out in the backyard 😭

[halcyon dew]

guys, have we got all concept art for full Neighbor's design?

[errant pewter]

No

[errant pewter]

Oh to have a proper versus mode in the HN series...

[restive ermine]

Game takes plays in 90's... Those tags on the HN3 Steam page... They should be paid w some attention.

[untold grotto]

no

there is more than one ending tag in the Steam tags on hn1

its probably just a random thing added by players

[restive ermine]

Guess it's about all the acts endings

[untold grotto]

and in other hn games the phrase 90s doesn't even appear in the tag

[restive ermine]

Every game act ends up on its own way

[untold grotto]

also, look at this, FPS, Multiplayer (çok oyunculu means multiplayer)

its just random tag

[restive ermine]

Well, guess I should analyze HN3 characters fashion and depending on that feature define a time storyline takes place at

[untold grotto]

probably after Act 3

cuz neighbor is old

and half of the face is different than we thought

if this is something like a scar, it def proves that its at the end of the ||current|| timeline

[lunar trail]

arent those user generated

[sand bobcat]

Hello neighbor 3 but the neighbor is pushing damn near 80 and chases you in a wheelchair lol

[untold grotto]

yeah

that's exactly what I said

[frosty gyro]

If its there it takes place well after gn2

And reset day

[exotic pewter]

says who?

I've seen people use flashlights

heck, even I myself use one

[fluid flame]

this is the classic sign of 1 digit age
(/j)

[errant pewter]

If you have a flashlight in your hand it's easier to just press a button on it and give yourself some good light instead of reaching into your pocket to get your phone out, get to the flashlight option, turn it on, and end up having a tiny flash of light that barely makes anything brighter

That and the town is literally half-destroyed and ran by vandals

Phones probably exist in Raven Brooks, yet not only is there no connection due to the stations being destroyed or heck, even just the constant storms, but the question of where will you charge it still remains

Come to think of it, it's just overall weird that Raven Brooks is still populated at all, shouldn't the State of Missouri have evacuated/relocated the remaining residents?

[lunar trail]

Raven Brooks is weird like that

not surprising

[errant pewter]

National Guard in Raven Brooks when...

National Guard in Raven Brooks when...

[sand bobcat]

Is there like a story for why raven brooks is so abandoned in hello neighbor 3? Or is that story for it coming out with the game? (I’m so behind on the lore for hello neighbor)

[untold grotto]

it will be clear when the game comes out

[sand bobcat]

Ah I gotcha, I didn’t know if it was explained or not already

I do like the idea of an abandoned little town tho, it adds to the little horror aspect

[untold grotto]

when we asked them, they said they wanted to make a small but interactive town

[sand bobcat]

That sounds neat, I really am very excited for this game to release

[errant pewter]

Wonder if the city will be affected by whatever happened to Raven Brooks

[wintry zephyr]

This city looks alot closer than it actually is (probably)

[errant pewter]

Probably

[wintry zephyr]

Weather stuff

[frosty gyro]

We dont know yet

[wintry zephyr]

HN2 patch 10 is not canon but a storm was supposed to hit the town and make it abandoned

Só assuming the storm still happened, just without Quentin, the storm destroyed the town and made people evacuate

[sand bobcat]

The great flood of raven brooks lmao

[wintry zephyr]

Or smth like that

[frosty gyro]

Reset day story ahh

[wintry zephyr]

It's called patch 10 brah

[frosty gyro]

Nah but the story is wayyy too similar to gn2 and reset day

[wintry zephyr]

Raven brooks disaster

[errant pewter]

Quentin is passed out under the church when the flood hits and he just drowns

[wintry zephyr]

Nah even better

The cultist hit him in the head wit a hammer and he just died of blood loss

[sand bobcat]

Dude I have no clue wha the story is in hello neighbor 2, I wanted to play it but I suck at puzzle games so I have no idea what the story is with Quentin lol

[wintry zephyr]

And then the storm Carrier his body

[frosty gyro]

We dont know either my guy

[wintry zephyr]

There is no story

[sand bobcat]

I’m more familiar with my main man Nicky and the REAL og, pre alpha man

[errant pewter]

The ogs

[wintry zephyr]

It's literally just journalist enters in people's houses and dies in the end

[oblique parcel]

Its very straightforward tbf just play the game

[errant pewter]

They said they couldn't play through it

[oblique parcel]

Oh

[sand bobcat]

It might be but like I said, I’m REALLY bad at puzzle games, I barely beat hello neighbor 1

I’m more into the stealth horror stuff

[wintry zephyr]

HN2 puzzles are alot easier

And HN1 had horrendous puzzles anyway so it's not a skill issue

[sand bobcat]

Are they? Idk if I played an earlier version or a current version

[wintry zephyr]

HN2 or HN1?

[sand bobcat]

I’d love to give it another try tho, I liked both games, just the puzzles were kinda crazy lol

[sand bobcat]

Hn2

[wintry zephyr]

HN2 are easier

But some are also a bit complicated too

The puzzles are just not HN1 levels of difficulty

[sand bobcat]

I gotcha

When I get home I’ll definitely try out hn2 again

[errant pewter]

Yeah but they'll go out of their way to make fun of the player by making easily reachable by human arms items require a seperate puzzle

[errant pewter]

Good luck

[sand bobcat]

Preciate it

Either way, I’m super pumped for hn3, I LOVE the wha the graphics look and how much of a scarier vibe it gives

I only figured out that there was a hn3 being made like 3 weeks ago 💀

[frosty gyro]

Hn3 got announced only like a month and a half ago (if you count rbo then almost a year)

[wintry zephyr]

Dude

You forgot HN4

It was announced last week

[sand bobcat]

I knew about rbo but I didn’t know that was hn3, I thought it’d be a side game, still loved rbo tho that was pretty fun

[sand bobcat]

We better play as pre alpha man breaking into a 90 year old neighbors house who can barely stand

[frosty gyro]

True

[wintry zephyr]

Pre-alpha man? I think you mean andrew smith

[sand bobcat]

Is that his name??

[wintry zephyr]

No one knew it

[wintry zephyr]

No lol

[sand bobcat]

Good lol

[frosty gyro]

Nikita knew rbo was hn3 👀

[wintry zephyr]

That's how he's called in hello neighbor into the mind

And he has a complete model in that too

[sand bobcat]

Nikita is lucky that he gets leaks, must be friends with the devs or something

[frosty gyro]

[wintry zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-thumbnail-does-he-know-he-doesnt-know-gif-27552850

[sand bobcat]

Lmao

Hello neighbor was his first game right?

[wintry zephyr]

Yes

And HNHS

he also worked in the HN2 alphas up until mid development of alpha 2 where he quit due to burnout

[sand bobcat]

That’s impressive tho for his first game

Especially back then

[wintry zephyr]

True but it could've been way better honestly

Nuh uh

[sand bobcat]

Well that could be said for everyone’s first game, nobody perfects it the first time, I think it was a solid good game for his first one

[errant pewter]

For a first one yes

[sand bobcat]

Ye

[wintry zephyr]

Agreed

[frosty gyro]

Yes

The game is pretty good

[wintry zephyr]

It's just that it had alot more potential

[sand bobcat]

Yeah, but it is easy to let pressure make you mess up some things, happens with lots of people, I don’t think any of them could have predicted the overwhelming success they got so quickly

Hopefully hn3 is them finally nailing it

[wintry zephyr]

True

[untold grotto]

and built the concept of secret neighbor with dynamic pixels

[wintry zephyr]

What about hello engineer

The OG concept

[sand bobcat]

Omg secret neighbor is so fun when you’re playing with friends lol

[untold grotto]

alexus joined the team during the late night shift right?

[wintry zephyr]

Did he?

[untold grotto]

iirc he did

[exotic pewter]

he joined after HN2 alpha 1 and before alpha 1.5

[untold grotto]

iirc he is a lead game designer of Alpha 1.5 right?

[exotic pewter]

I think, yes

he did design alpha 1.5

[oblique parcel]

No Nikita was still lead game designer He was level designer i Think though

[frigid kernel]

the more people go into details about how xy died in hn2, the more i want hn3 to be something COMPLETELY different and unrelated to all stories

[frigid kernel]

2020 something
so
hn2 alphas I'd say

[wintry zephyr]

Who is xy

[frigid kernel]

I didn't want to say only Quentin, people theorized about Smith dying or idk who else
Quentin practically isn't dead, he's put on a shelf and discontinued, which atm is for the better

[severe merlin]

No, he joined us during either HN2 alpha 1 or alpha 1.5

[steep remnant]

will any hn2 characters return in hn3?

[frigid kernel]

Sosed and goose

[tender stump]

hi nikita, could you tell us which texture libraries you use when making textures?

[muted hemlock]

Mr Peterson for a start

[tender stump]

i dont think nikita can answer story heavy questions like that

but yea the neighbor and guest are seemingly returning

[severe merlin]

I don’t personally do textures. So, can not answer

[tender stump]

ah okay!

[late veldt]

hey nikita idk if this is within your jurisdiction to answer but theres been a debate on whether the guest is a guy in a suit or some kind of monster creature thing

do you have a take on this?

[lunar trail]

Nikita are we gonna see any returning characters in HN3 other than Theodore and Guest?

[tender stump]

how often are hn3 playtests conducted, now that the game isnt multiplayer anymore? are they successful?

[untold grotto]

its story question ig

[late veldt]

i mean im assuming thats all theyve been doing since iirc he said the first prototypes finished

[untold grotto]

and its actual spoiler so he probably cant answer

[late veldt]

id like to think this isnt a spoiler since itd at least put us on the right track

[lunar trail]

I mean, technically it's confirmed there's gonna be characters roaming around the town, so would it be a story question to ask if any of the characters will be the ones we saw before in the franchise?

[late veldt]

if the guest is a guy in a suit still hed be able to tell us that much i think

[frigid kernel]

for this I'd say, we'll see it in the actual game

[mortal dove]

I dont think its a thing that he can answer since Season 3 of the show is gonna be revealing what the guest is. appearantly

[frigid kernel]

Nikita always had a special take on the guest (the good option imo)
or
takes
idk

[untold grotto]

nikita said before that the year of the story does not matter for rbo, i wonder if it is still valid for hn3?

[late veldt]

i mean with nikita the answer is guy in a suit but idk if tb agrees

[mortal dove]

I just hope the guest isnt just a guy in a suit cause after everything him just being basically just another person in a suit would be disappointing

[lunar trail]

I mean RBO was a multiplayer game, A single player game should have a story that matters imo

[frigid kernel]

it'd be very cool if all multiple endings were considered canon
i want some stuff to be up to interpretation again

[mortal dove]

the guest in patch 9 was awesome tho smh

[late veldt]

tbh if the way to each ending is working with the right characters like i think it will be some endings will be vastly more important than others lol

[tender stump]

yeah because if he hasn't mentioned them yet its probably for a reason

[mortal dove]

dont we see the guest literally transform into a bird in HNVR?

[frigid kernel]

there's so many guests at this point, someone will be unhappy in the end anyway

i personally don't want it to be aaron.

[mortal dove]

I know for a fact Ill try to lure characters to their death on my first run

(if they can die that is)

[sand bobcat]

chuck them in a lake

[frigid kernel]

flashback to Nikita saying that hn3 isn't supposed to be violent

[late veldt]

kids perspective doesnt count

nikitas rules not mine lol

[mortal dove]

oh yeah aaron... I hope HN3 addreses what happened to him since now that hn2 is just gone now

[late veldt]

i think aarons just gone

[mortal dove]

ok but like

[sand bobcat]

there goes my dream of me breaking into the neighbor's house and he turns my legs into a red mist with a sawed off shotgun

[mortal dove]

he literally transforms into a crow

like???

[untold grotto]

it was alexander ig

[wintry zephyr]

Isn't that basically what TB is doing?

[late veldt]

we dont know

[untold grotto]

"hn3 is not about violence/fighting" he repeated twice

[mortal dove]

ok but like it would be lame to just have him dissapear without an explanation

[frigid kernel]

i mean
pretty much this is Nikita's take on the whole game and it shows
and i support it, because
hm
obviously

[wintry zephyr]

Pretty sure the guest is just some guy in a suit just like in the alphas

[late veldt]

i mean we know the ragdoll system might be back at least someone said something about it iirc

so we can still hurl a brick at old man ted and he'll respond to it

[sand bobcat]

cant wait to see a ragdoll shoot through the roof at mach jesus

[late veldt]

fully expecting that with the prototypes lol

[sand bobcat]

i love ragdolls

[frigid kernel]

he points one of his fingers on us and what do you know, the unused curselines were now plugged in, so he can use them

[mortal dove]

lame

[wintry zephyr]

it is

[sand bobcat]

I hope i can pick up a crowbar and just start going gordon freeman on the dudes in the house lol

[foggy fable]

I need ted to pull a sonic in hn3 when chasing us

He curls up into a ball and rolls towards us

[tender stump]

we dont really know this at all

[late veldt]

nah thats never been a thing

[tender stump]

the guest was the neighbor in the alphas

and the neighbor isnt in the guest suit

so

[late veldt]

we might get a gun again tho

[frigid kernel]

I kinda want him to catch the brick and Golden wijd would start playing

that's when you start running

[mortal dove]

hn2 alphas implied him and ted werent the same

[tender stump]

atleast they were in hg

[mortal dove]

I mean that clearly changed by the time alpha 1 came out

[tender stump]

also i thought the hn2a1 trailer hinted at them being the same

[frigid kernel]

modders,write this down

[mortal dove]

or around that time

[wintry zephyr]

We do actually

[late veldt]

hes literally one foot in the grip reapers basement he wont be able to chase the stranger

[wintry zephyr]

The guest isn't supernatural

He can't be a creature

[sand bobcat]

hello neighbor 3 but I drove through my neighbor's house with a silver tinted ford F150

[tender stump]

that doesn't mean he couldnt just be a hallucination or something

we haven't seen how the guest responds with gameplay in hn3

[frigid kernel]

some of you put 30 yo people to the grave too, i just stopped paying attention to age related comments

[mortal dove]

that just means theres a logical explanation to what he can be in universe

[late veldt]

honestly i do kinda hope theres destructible environments to an extent

like breaking down the wall of a house once or twice would be awesome

[mortal dove]

he can still very much be a creature that does make sense in universe

[sand bobcat]

i feel like people's pcs would just about cause a house fire

then they could have immersive house destruction irl

[frigid kernel]

i hope neighbors car will be in hn3

i want to see true love, like before
i mean the car in one piece though

[late veldt]

nah its pretty common in games now

[late veldt]

monkeys paw situation its back but its the hn1 design again

[foggy fable]

Imagine some guy just leaves their house, and they come back to it being gone

[sand bobcat]

pov: you live next door to nicky roth

[late veldt]

guest took it

just picked it up

walked away

[frigid kernel]

he put it to his inventory

[untold grotto]

alexander said AIs can drive and take a tour of the map, and itll probably come back too

[sand bobcat]

the vehicular manslaughter update goes crazy

[late veldt]

tbh i doubt teds leaving wherever hes staying in hn3

at least not very often

[frigid kernel]

i want to be friends with him finally 😞

[wintry zephyr]

I find that hard to believe

[late veldt]

i mean i think you can work with him but friends is a bit of an overestimation

ted doesnt have friends really

[frigid kernel]

Ike: 😭😭

[wintry zephyr]

Ike is dead

Just like quentin

So he basically has no friends

[late veldt]

considering hes been by himself reflecting on his past for the last 10 years probably im not expecting much kindness out of him

[frigid kernel]

bro even if your friend dies, he's still ur friend
so like
what was ur point

[untold grotto]

when he looks at Quentin he remembers Ike and Norman Darby and gets angry frfr

[frigid kernel]

i tamed him in hn too so
nothing is impossible

[frigid kernel]

expected twist: Theodore remembers EVERY storyline he's ever been in

[untold grotto]

even alphas?

[late veldt]

i think his relationship with the stranger will be very all business

in teds story path at least the stranger wants to save the town and ted wants to end the nightmare he helped create

both roads lead to killing the guest

so obviously theyd work together they have a shared goal

this is all a guess but this is where i see hn3 going lol

maybe ted just hates everyone

[frigid kernel]

and betas

[sand bobcat]

i wish my boy pre alpha man was canon, rest in piece king 🫡 😔

[late veldt]

he killed quentin in hn2

[frigid kernel]

nah he was always vibin in his little house and doing his stuff, and only cared when someone interrupted his very personal space
ig if you run into his house and toss a brick at him, he'll be angry

[late veldt]

i think the only reason ted wont just bash the stranger over the head with a rock before you go down his path in hn3 is cause he literally cant anymore

[frigid kernel]

😭😭

[late veldt]

his bones are one bad fall away from becoming jell-o

like even if your take on ted being more friendly is accurate (imo its not) at this point in the story the guys probably at his worst

aarons probably gone the towns in pieces the guest has won basically

hes lost everything

[frigid kernel]

(sudden flashbacks of the overall hn story)
😐🤔

[late veldt]

lmao

[mortal dove]

live ike reaction:

[late veldt]

wdym by this

[frigid kernel]

one day you guys will be at my age and someone will do the same to you lol

[late veldt]

...what

[daring gyro]

Time loops are in reality all old hn stories he's ever been part of

[mortal dove]

what?

[wintry zephyr]

What if when no one is breaking into hello neighbor's house he just does goofy stuff to cope with the death of his family

Like in the kickstarter images

[frigid kernel]

idk if you remember that one fan made cartoon, where player starts realizing that while the days are repeating, time actually passes, they just pretend it's the same day
every time someone mentions time loops, i think of that

[daring gyro]

Is It the same one that gave birth to this Is a replica of andy's room from Toy story

[frigid kernel]

Hopefully he's over that by that time
partly
so ig he's just vibing
drinking milk and watching tv

idk i cannot place neighbor in hn3, i want him to chill finally

[frigid kernel]

i think yes

[wintry zephyr]

What if he has an elevator with a toilet

[late veldt]

ok but i dont think people can ever get over losing their entire family lol

[wintry zephyr]

And he flies with his car

[daring gyro]

You just go insane but eventually you become insane (peaceful)

[late veldt]

with ted i highly doubt hed ever let it go since mr kras still around

maybe once the guests dead but i doubt teds surviving hn3 either

[wintry zephyr]

I wonder if we will even manage to defeat the guest at all

Like im really curious of how HN3 will play out and if it will conclude the story

[late veldt]

id hope anything after hn3 will just be spinoffs or sidestories

[oblique parcel]

Same also i would like if They keep supporting hn3 after launch at least for like a year

Like improvements and additions etc

[late veldt]

if hn3 does well enough dlc would be ok

id prefer it to not be set up like hn2 tho and have any new areas actually get added to the main map

a whole mini campaign in the golden apple park would be cool if its not in the basegame

nikita said they were still thinking about what areas to include but the ferris wheels on the map again at least

[mortal dove]

just please no day 1 dlc this time

that was an awful idea for hn2

[oblique parcel]

Absoulutely not

[late veldt]

wha-

what did i say lol

[mortal dove]

be careful with your words smh

[late veldt]

I DIDNT SWEAR

[mortal dove]

nuh uh

[wintry zephyr]

The game will probably have areas like the park and the mayak

Since it fits the most here

Maybe the golden apple factory too? Who knows

[late veldt]

im kinda unsure about the park cause its a big location

like itd be about a quarter of the main map if its there

[wintry zephyr]

I mean we know the NPCs will have like, jobs and stuff

[late veldt]

it wouldnt be like hga1s tiny map

[wintry zephyr]

So it would make sense if there was NPCs working in the gaap

Currently the only workplace we know of is the gas station.

[late veldt]

the parks abandoned lol

[wintry zephyr]

It was reopened in the AS

[late veldt]

so unless they bring quentin back and give him his old job again no ones gonna be working there

[late veldt]

then the storm happened lol

[wintry zephyr]

That would make sense actually

[wintry zephyr]

I mean the park is also abandoned in HG and yet there's still people (quentin and beatrix) working there

So who cares really?

[oblique parcel]

While I hope guest walks around the map not just full on stalking but also doing his own stuff as well

Like taking shelter in abandoned buildings

[wintry zephyr]

If there is no one working in it there might be NPCs going to it though

Lile vandals

[wintry zephyr]

Would make sense if he did that in day time

[wintry zephyr]

That's what i was thinking

At day time he hides away in abandoned places

[hollow condor]

Big Tourist

[cunning yacht]

any news to hn3?

[untold grotto]

nope

they are currently on christmas break

[cunning yacht]

how long

[main dove]

Until how long is how long

[violet zephyr]

just as long as everyone else is

[cunning yacht]

okay

[echo crow]

Hi all

What is hello neighbor 3 made on?

[fluid flame]

some unreal engine 5 ver iirc

[echo crow]

Thanks

[frigid kernel]

not very "lol"
it depends on person
I saw both types

not to mention that technically speaking, Diane was his second wife, who died
and no idc that the old story isn't canon. idc about canon because it changes too often. did it happen or not. it did. sad.

[ionic spear]

Do you think fake neighbor can be a guest?

[errant pewter]

wdym a guest

there's only one guest

and he can't be fake neighbor

[untold grotto]

he probably means the guest

but some google translate problems

also its a #hello-neighbor or #lore-discussion topic, not hn3 🙂

[pulsar sentinel]

Im playing the prototype as soon as it comes out

[wintry zephyr]

Fake neighbor is a scrapped character

[frigid kernel]

imagine if Smith was the Guest
I'd scream

[untold grotto]

bro must be sweating with both the hat and the guest mask
