hn3-discussion

[frigid kernel]

Smith seems to be having nonhuman abilities
bro wears sunglasses at night and perfectly sees
i mean
would see
idk why some characters had closed eye models, it was probably something symbolical which they never went further with

[oblique sigil]

i think its just a design i dont think they have non human abilities lol

[frigid kernel]

it was half joke tbh

[untold grotto]

what if smith is blind?

[frigid kernel]

Smith doesn't have eyes..like Guest...lore discussion wake up...🧠

[wintry zephyr]

That would suck imo

I like MiTH as his own secret detective character

[frigid kernel]

I'd love that scene tho
Smith is the Guest
Quentin makes a comeback in hn3, he returns just to faint again when seeing Smith

[untold grotto]

smith in AS s3...

[frigid kernel]

TWO pixels (he's behind the bush more)

[untold grotto]

bro is secretly watching while Mayak events are happening

absolute cinema

[wintry zephyr]

He's gonna appear for 4 seconds in a very tiny corner as one pixel

[frigid kernel]

i bet he didn't even have a character sheet, they were just told how to google him and someone drew him for that one scene
very sad if you think about it

[untold grotto]

ik it was just kidding

[frigid kernel]

yeah😞

[tough lagoon]

hello

[untold grotto]

👋

[restive oxide]

Its just so they don't have to model an eye. Its just a placeholder

[marsh umbra]

when hn4

[wintry zephyr]

Hello Neighbor 4 trailer tomorrow

[marsh umbra]

yay

[abstract elk]

Have we got anymore images

[wintry zephyr]

No

[vagrant notch]

Hey guys

I'm hyped lol

[grand jay]

me too bro, me too

[untold grotto]

they're on Christmas break, folks

be patient

[abstract elk]

I havnt been here in weeks

i was just asking

Bc i didnt know .

So lemme refraze.

Has there been any new things released in the past 2 months.

[frosty gyro]

Yes you can check this channel #teasers

[errant pewter]

And under Smith=Guest he either makes a clone of himself to fight in the HG ending or he's just actively staging the fight

So that's an impressive feat too

I wouldn't say that the eyes are closed, I kinda see the circle looking lines as eye wrinkles or something

I dunno if it's symbolic since it's probably just so they won't have to model eyes for characters with sunglasses

[earnest cape]

MITH isn’t The Guest in HG.

[frosty gyro]

Its theodo--

[frigid kernel]

sure

[oblique parcel]

I love hello neighbor 3 design of the neighbor is going for more of this kind of direction

Not fully but still much closer than hello neighbor 2 or hello neighbor vr design which designs i really like as well but I think they focus too much on looking badass

I prefer the more grounded and eerie portrayal as captured in this image

[muted karma]

it not just this guy and police leslie

[ionic spear]

maybe we can see it in the future

[fluid flame]

he was killed off practically before he was even a thing and wasnt used ever again

[ionic spear]

I believe it can be used in the future

[vagrant notch]

Did i miss something? i thought the guest was a creature.

I thought it was like an inhuman “thing.”

[frosty gyro]

Not supernatural

[untold grotto]

the guest is a person

or something not supernatural, made of bones and flesh

[fluid flame]

i rly dont want the guest to be just some dude

[frosty gyro]

"its me,theodore" -guest

[wintry zephyr]

We won't

Fake neighbor is scrapped we have 0 chance of ever seeing him

What would he even add to the lore?

[wintry zephyr]

Same

Why can't he just be a bird?

[wintry zephyr]

Good plot

[wintry zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-real-true-fact-checked-fact-gif-6343207587503842551

[midnight cloud]

what was his design?

[vagrant notch]

Me neither, i thought it was already established that it was a creature.

I thought that was why it made animalistic noises in the alphas.

[earnest cape]

Well ever since everything is Canon anything can be right.

[vagrant notch]

What do you mean?

[earnest cape]

It’s been multiple times stated everything HN Media is canon in some way.

It’s weird.

[vagrant notch]

That is weird

[earnest cape]

It makes everything weird and messed up.

But that’s how it is.

[blissful river]

anyone have a 4k version of this photo?

[elfin ridge]

the version on the discord banner is the highest resolution I can find

[blissful river]

thank you 🙏

[quaint talon]

I can try found better resolution later

If you want

[blissful river]

oh its ok thanks though!

[quaint talon]

👌

[vagrant knoll]

I wish you happy new year 2025 guys

[worthy sable]

Hello Neighbor 3 year is here

[shrewd ore]

I just watched the Dev log 1.5 and He said it’s playable if I’m right though on early stage

[main dove]

That's because they are releasing the alpha version of the game somewhere around January

[cunning yacht]

I hope they do a Hello Guest and put it on console (they never will HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH)

[shrewd ore]

They did already on Xbox and good because I have series X (4YO) and it’s free apparently

[cunning yacht]

Are you talking about Hello Guest or the other thing?

Cuz I know about Hello Guest

It’s the only alpha of Hello Neighbor that’s actually available on Xbox

[main dove]

Real

[cunning yacht]

Chat how much money can you make in Hello Guest?

Sounds like a MrBeast video

I would do it

But

Lazy

[earnest cape]

I still feel they shouldn’t release their Dev Builds but it’s completely up to them.

Though it makes sense when they want to make the Games Development Open.

[worthy sable]

did they say if the alpha's are gonna be paid or free?

[untold grotto]

itll probably free

in hn1 it was paid

in hn2 it was free

[muted hemlock]

I think they made HN2 alphas free from the get go because by that point, they knew how much fans appreciated the development builds

But they didn't know that during HN1 alphas obviously because it was their first time

Only making them free in 2019

[untold grotto]

they actually do it for free every now and then at helloneighborgame.com

but now all of hn1 alphas is free at steam

[earnest cape]

Then again the major reason people don’t enjoy the Full Release is because of the Dev Builds having stuff that the Full Release didn’t, big part of HN2 having a Bad Response was because of the Alphas being filled with “More Content”.

[oblique parcel]

Well it mostly had to do with the vastly different direction the game ended up taking

[muted hemlock]

I think it was the neural network being removed thing that caused people to not enjoy it, if the neural network was never promised, I think it would’ve had a lower standard, making it seem better

[pastel basin]

really looking forward to hn3 prototype this month

[flint bay]

No, they sent them free to certain people

Like Youtubers

[untold grotto]

so?

it was still paid

[flint bay]

I had a brain malfunction my bad

For some reason I thought it was only accessible to certain people for a second

I apologize

[untold grotto]

np

[earnest cape]

True but I’ve heard people mention the Alphas way more.

[clear dagger]

wait woah this is cool i havent seen this properly

[tight kindle]

Hello neighbor 3

When will it be released approximately?

[worthy sable]

let's hope when it will be 100% finished

[lucid turret]

probably the alphas this year, and the final game like fall 2025 or 2026

[idle narwhal]

I would say end of 2026/ beginning of 2027.
It seems like the developers have a lot planned.

[untold grotto]

prototype this month

[lucid turret]

Fr?

[untold grotto]

yep

at worst next month

[frosty gyro]

Mmmmmm devlog 2 this month

Cant wait for prototype gameplay

[void hill]

hey guys can someone tell me how can i change de command on hello neighbor 2 alpha 1 ?

[untold grotto]

its hn3 channel

#hello-neighbor is a better channel for you

[void hill]

thx buddyy

[random sedge]

wait really?

[untold grotto]

yep

it was first early jan

but now late jan

[random sedge]

oh well, i can wait

[pulsar sentinel]

does anyone know when in january the prototypes coming out

[frosty gyro]

Not confirmed

[flat tinsel]

epically appears in chat

dude

what happened to hello neighbor

[flat tinsel]

what is that thing

[untold grotto]

tallguy

[frosty gyro]

It became franchise?

[flat tinsel]

Why is it so damn terrifying?

i like it

[frosty gyro]

To da make game creepy

[untold grotto]

make game eerie

[frosty gyro]

errie and creepy are similar words

[untold grotto]

make game goofy?

make game silly

[frosty gyro]

🔥

[untold grotto]

by the way hello neighbor 3 stands for "Hello Neighbor Three"

[frosty gyro]

What?!??!?

[flat tinsel]

i'm about to shit my pants what is that

[frosty gyro]

Giant monster

"a game where you have to escape the city with the threat of a giant monster"

[untold grotto]

you're surprised, aren't you?

[frosty gyro]

Yes

[flat tinsel]

and his head clipping throught the walls like idk

[frosty gyro]

Its a prototype

Also wishing we get a new icon this month

[foggy fable]

I love the design for the monster

[flat tinsel]

For some reason, the prototype is always scarier than the final game, i need to play this

[frosty gyro]

You cant 😭

But you can play another prototype

In the pins is switchman

[foggy fable]

Have they shown the full design for the monster?

Or Is that the only image of it

[frosty gyro]

I think they show face

[untold grotto]

its not hn3 prototype

or hn-releated prototype

[flat tinsel]

then what is this?

[untold grotto]

lil prototypes made by Nikita after he leaving hn

[flat tinsel]

he came back?

[untold grotto]

yep

he is a lead game designer

and if you watched the devlogs the person who hosted them

[flat tinsel]

it's great to hear that

[flat tinsel]

empty, monotonous map that feels cold

what do you prefer?

this

or this

[untold grotto]

its hn3 channel

please move on #hello-neighbor or keep in hn3 topic

[foggy plaza]

Guest is hn3

[shadow nebula]

guest in hn3 will be creepy as hell

[gray egret]

I haven't been following the series since the first hn game came out, I was very excited when I saw hn3 on steam, I love the new design of the neighbor

[shadow nebula]

Istg if I see him staring at me when I open his door I will alt+F4

[untold grotto]

but its not from hn3

[gray egret]

Imagine you walk into a house, looking around, there is an NPC in the window looking at you, saying nothing, it would be very scary, of course, most likely nothing like that will happen if I know correctly that this is a friendly NPC.

[shadow nebula]

but then he jumps through the window and comes running right at you

[gray egret]

that is when I will alt+f4

looks like it will be more horror based, and I hope it will be.

[untold grotto]

according to current plans, eerie will be more prominent than horror

[shadow nebula]

it should be like hello neighbor 1 but more horror-ish

not so funny

[untold grotto]

there will probably be funny content

because our interactions with NPCs can be at a level that can provoke them

[shadow nebula]

I hope there won't be much parkour tho

(if they won't fix the jump physics)

[grim lark]

Jump physics are fine in hn2

[untold grotto]

even the climbing physics are not ready yet, there will probably not be many parkours because the puzzles are actually characters

[shadow nebula]

that's nice I guess

[untold grotto]

concept will probably settle into people's minds better this month

prototype will most likely be released this month

probably late january

[foggy plaza]

Not anymore, they changed it to an NPC

[grim lark]

Jacob is not the player character

[untold grotto]

it was the player

he is an npc in the current plans in the current build

[shadow nebula]

so who will be the player then

[untold grotto]

unknown

he/she is a newcomer to town

[shadow nebula]

oh

[gray egret]

what I'm curious about is whether the game takes place before or after hn1. If it takes place after hn1, I'd like to see what happened to Nicky.

[shadow nebula]

there wouldn't be much to show

I think he just had a normal life

that's all

[wintry zephyr]

What if he's working in the gaap?

Similar to quentin in HG

[untold grotto]

probably after hn1

[wintry zephyr]

I mean nicky has to have a job

[wintry zephyr]

Gone, reduced to atoms

[subtle cipher]

I wonder how the guest will work in the game along with the neighbor?

[grim lark]

The neighbor is just gonna stay on the sidewalk just staring in the distance

And will have no plot relevence :)

He cannot be interacted with. He just stands there

[bronze moss]

.

[subtle cipher]

What about the other characters like signed, coned, or covered will they have a certain role?

[untold grotto]

friend said was just a joke and a reference to hn2

iirc guest will be a stalker and will watch NPCs (?) as well as the player

[subtle cipher]

I Apologize about that

[grim lark]

Signed will be looking for his ipods and kill everyone in sight

[wintry zephyr]

Signed will be taking a bath 24/7 with all cloths on and with his mask while curled up in a fetus position and crying

[untold grotto]

no its coned

[wintry zephyr]

Nuh uh

Coned Will walk in a straight direction

Always

[untold grotto]

stop spreading misinformation

[wintry zephyr]

Nuh uh this is all true bruh

[untold grotto]

its coned not signed

[wintry zephyr]

What will coevred do though

OH

I know

[untold grotto]

signed is a char that will be added in patch 8's hotfix 2

[wintry zephyr]

She's gonna be removed in patch 10

[untold grotto]

why

[wintry zephyr]

Because yes

[untold grotto]

is she stupid

[wintry zephyr]

Yes alot

[untold grotto]

sad signed

[wintry zephyr]

Awesome bruh

[subtle cipher]

What items will be in hello neighbor 3 that can be used

[wintry zephyr]

Box

Box

Box

All box

[untold grotto]

box and box variants

[grim lark]

Nuclear bombs

[untold grotto]

nuclear box when

[wintry zephyr]

Birb

[untold grotto]

alan's box is a important item btw

[grim lark]

Do not get two boxes in contact or else its over

[subtle cipher]

How about a gun

[untold grotto]

dont forget the Alan's Box

[wintry zephyr]

Too violent

Which is why every item in the game are boxes

[untold grotto]

hello neighbor 3 is not about violent

[wintry zephyr]

It's in order to Prevent any harm

[untold grotto]

hello neighbor 3 is about boxes

[wintry zephyr]

True

Im in hello neighbor 3 btw

[grim lark]

loafkat, I feel like you dont know what is and isnt a box

[wintry zephyr]

I do

[untold grotto]

loafkat is a vandal

in hn3

[wintry zephyr]

Im gonna vandalize YOUR M- /j

[untold grotto]

he stole ur boxes

[untold grotto]

mansion

[grim lark]

Item one: is this a box? 📦

[untold grotto]

meet the creepy driven ai loafkat

[wintry zephyr]

I am powered by neural network

[grim lark]

Seems like loafkat cant even provide an answer

[wintry zephyr]

What

[grim lark]

Is this a box?

[untold grotto]

no its a box 0.5

[wintry zephyr]

No, it's an emoji box

[grim lark]

Its not a box, but your justification is wrong

This is a 3D printed model of a box

[wintry zephyr]

Buy hello neighbor attempt 3 to see loafkat stacking boxes for only 3,99

I am very important to the lore

[untold grotto]

loafkat is a key

key to lore

[wintry zephyr]

I am the key

[wintry zephyr]

Wanna know something about the lore?

[untold grotto]

no

[wintry zephyr]

Yes? Ok

Hello guest is canon

ALL alphas are canon

[untold grotto]

also he is a member of the Alan's friends

[subtle cipher]

Is it really though?

[wintry zephyr]

Yes

Because i am from teh game

Only i know the answers

[untold grotto]

bro is NOT the creator of the hello neighbor

[wintry zephyr]

Kryptqn i do not take kindly you spreading misinformation

Stop putting Xs in people

[untold grotto]

[remote reef]

I think the pre alpha or prototype is coming out soon luckily, so you will see it but it aint prototype since RBO is the prototype lol

[woven lodge]

Wouldn't it be like Prototype 2 then?

[tranquil ice]

Yo

[frosty gyro]

Thats a long time playing hn3

[woven lodge]

Why?

[frosty gyro]

No it doesnt exist

Nikita has confirmed that beta probably is just alpha2

[frosty gyro]

I mean in a sense theres no working build

[cunning yacht]

When the prototype will be out

[shadow nebula]

probably late january

[cunning yacht]

i hope will be like in hn search and rescue where you change characters with walkie talkie

[untold grotto]

no

both were in the prototype phase, but these prototypes were two completely different prototypes of a game

[untold grotto]

late january, at worst next month

[sweet musk]

wait so we're getting a playable game?

[mortal dove]

I mean its a new prototype

RBO was a prototype for an online game

[sweet musk]

i thought he said he isn't going to release any alphas or prototypes because he doesn't want to make promises and change them later on in the development.

[mortal dove]

the only AI in that were the lawn bot things

[mortal dove]

I dont think thats what he said?

He wants to be more open about development

[sweet musk]

i just found this infomation on the internet, they were probably just lying

[mortal dove]

since hn2 was kinda closed off and had like a shit ton of false promises

main one being the infamous neural network

[mortal dove]

also releasing alphas for the game is also a good way to get feedback.

[quartz canopy]

nikita said to always take things with grain of salt and keep your hopes as low as possible because anything can happen during development

though he never said that he wont release any alphas

[untold grotto]

yep

but prototype is little gameplay test w 3 characters

don't expect too much

[sweet musk]

i wasn't expecting anything not gonna lie, i thought there was gonna be no playable content until the full release, but i'm quite hyped 👍

[pastel basin]

really looking forward to it

[wintry zephyr]

Wdym

[bright rain]

What will the story be?

[untold grotto]

youre a newcomer to town

[bright rain]

Will scrapped mechanics from HN2 alphas return in HN3?

[untold grotto]

some of them yes

[bright rain]

Was signed taken from the vandels from Hello Guest?

[untold grotto]

he is a vandal

[bright rain]

Will there be more characters besides Jacob, Iris, Signed, Coned, Covered, Mr. Peterson, and the Guest?

[untold grotto]

probably

but in the prototype build: just Signed, Iris and Jacob

[bright rain]

Will the text be English in HN3?

[untold grotto]

in prototype yes

but in the full game, unknown

[frosty gyro]

peak prototype me want gameplay

[pastel basin]

still wonder what the no signal thing means

and that timer in the bottom right

[bright rain]

Will there be a day/night cycle?

[pastel basin]

yeah

[untold grotto]

yes

[bright rain]

When in the HN game timeline does this take place?

[frosty gyro]

not told yet

[untold grotto]

🤷

who knows

[bright rain]

Will the game have multiple endings?

[untold grotto]

yes

[bright rain]

What was Mr. Peterson's concept art?

[untold grotto]

wdym

[frosty gyro]

#teasers

[bright rain]

I haven't seen parts of the concept art teasers yet?

[frosty gyro]

Scroll up in this channel

[bright rain]

How will the Guest play out in this game?

[pastel basin]

we dont know

[bright rain]

Will HN3 have alphas and a beta?

[untold grotto]

yes

next playtest (prototype) is coming in late january

at worst february

[bright rain]

Will almost every item/prop be picked-up like in HN1?

[pastel basin]

sure

[untold grotto]

yes

[bright rain]

Will there be beartraps?

[pastel basin]

no

not yet

its a proto

[bright rain]

Will HN3 be the last Hello Neighbor game?

[untold grotto]

it really depends

[bright rain]

When will the next devlog of HN3 come?

[pastel basin]

why do you have so much questions
and next devlog comes late jan

[hardy sorrel]

Wait

HN2 is not part of the story anymore?

[frosty gyro]

everything is canon but we dont know how

[untold grotto]

hello neighbor 2 is canon but not in the way what you/we think

[bright rain]

Will the game be similer to telltale games?

[untold grotto]

no

[bright rain]

It's such a dissapointment that Mr. Peterson doesn't have gloves anymore.

Will the rope from HN2 alphas 1 and 1.5 make a return in HN3?

[steep remnant]

omg

we arent making the game

idk

[bright rain]

Will we be able to do puzzles anytime like in the HN2 beta?

[pastel basin]

we arent nikita bro that is a weirdly specific question

[steep remnant]

"what is the ending to hn3?"

[bright rain]

Bro, do you expect them to tell us?

[pastel basin]

do you expect us to know it

[bright rain]

No. I don't think they would have the time to spoil the ending.

Plus, I think when Tinybuild is done with winter brake, I think we might get more teasers to HN3?

[frosty gyro]

Its a given

[untold grotto]

whats rbo?

[untold grotto]

roblox being online?

[frosty gyro]

A multiplayer game where you attack other players in the form of intruder vs protector (rbo prototype)

[bright rain]

I swear, if HN3 ends up being a total disaster I will have to live with it.

[untold grotto]

rbo beta when

also upcoming sequel

secuel?

[frosty gyro]

When hn3 prototype releases

[untold grotto]

rbo 2

and a pre-quel

rbo: origins

[bright rain]

What is going on!?

If HN3 becomes a success, I will be full of joy.

[untold grotto]

whats hn3

[daring gyro]

genuinely my lifestyle

i still believe rbo is real

[bright rain]

HN3 was originaly RBO (Raven Brooks Online) but now is no longer Multiplayer and is now singleplayer. Probally takes place after HN2 or after Raven Brooks Disaster Graphic Novel.

[daring gyro]

no hn3 until i'm proven wrong
so far i've only seen rbo singleplayer

[wintry zephyr]

Bro it's just gloves

Hows that dissapointing

[bright rain]

Plus, I am already catched up on the Timeline and Lore of this franchise. So, I almost have no idea when HN3 takes place?

[wintry zephyr]

Also Mr. Peterson with boots looks way cooler

Ok???

[wintry zephyr]

Hopefully yes

[bright rain]

It's dissapointing because Theodore having gloves was always apart of him in the games.

[wintry zephyr]

It's just gloves

[bright rain]

He wore them all the time

[wintry zephyr]

Also he also didn't have gloves in HNHS if i remember correctly

[bright rain]

He had them in the first game, the spin-off games, the second game, the books, and the animated series.

[daring gyro]

crazy

[bright rain]

I totally forgot that he didn't have them in Hide-in-Seek.

My bad

[daring gyro]

i never forget hide and seek
worst game of the franchise

[wintry zephyr]

Hello Neighbor has no gloves???!!! 😱😱😱😱😱

How am i supposed to live Now....

This isn't RIGHT

[daring gyro]

Hollow Neighbor

[untold grotto]

hello neighbor 3: hello-copter dlc when

[daring gyro]

hello copter is the game protagonist

[wintry zephyr]

Hello Neighbor 3 will have 9 patches

[bright rain]

Bro, the hello copter dlc is a waste of money.

[daring gyro]

what did you say about my favourite dlc of the 3

at least it's fun

plus the whole game is a waste of money if you want to be that deep

[wintry zephyr]

Did you know hello copter is the main protagonist of HN3?

[bright rain]

It's slooooooooow!

[untold grotto]

its peak

[daring gyro]

my favourite duo
Maniac Quentin and Hello-Copter

in beta map

[wintry zephyr]

Did you know pre-alpha man is the main villain of HN3?

[bright rain]

I hope we get to see the forest protectors in HN3

[wintry zephyr]

Did you know the forest protectors are friendly in HN3

[daring gyro]

real talk hn3 protagonist has to be beatrix for me to even care remotely

[remote reef]

Is this actually real?!

This is crazy if it is!

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah bro trust

[remote reef]

But how do we know?

[untold grotto]

its real

also the guy in ur pfp is also a villain

[bright rain]

That doesn't make sense since they try to destroy Raven Brooks with bad luck.

[remote reef]

Does the player have the same shadow or shaped body?

[wintry zephyr]

Pre-alpha house is in HN3

[remote reef]

Ok

[wintry zephyr]

It's because im inside the game

[untold grotto]

angry neighbor x hello neighbor collab in hn3

[wintry zephyr]

Só i know everything

[remote reef]

I saw the house was big in hn3

[untold grotto]

loafkat is ai in hn3

[wintry zephyr]

I am powered by neural network

[remote reef]

Ok

[wintry zephyr]

Also

[untold grotto]

meet the creepy driven ai loafKat

[wintry zephyr]

The angry neighbor is the main villain of HN3

HN3 is the official cameo

[untold grotto]

in hn3 you can go to parallel universes and play alphas again

[bright rain]

Mr. Peterson looks old in the concept art.

[untold grotto]

alphas are canon now

[wintry zephyr]

Mr. Peterson is pre-alpha man

[untold grotto]

hn3 occurs before hn1 and h&s

he is young

[wintry zephyr]

HN3 is the origins game

The books are not Canon

[bright rain]

Alphas aren't canon because they were to test HN1 and are not the final product.

[wintry zephyr]

No

Alphas are canon

Mr. Peterson is pre-alpha man

[untold grotto]

alphas are canon

[wintry zephyr]

Alphas are canon

[wintry zephyr]

Alphas is real, books however, is not!

[untold grotto]

devgamm animations is canon too

[untold grotto]

books written by schizophrenic quentin

its canon

[wintry zephyr]

"pre-alpha man is dead!"

[bright rain]

I thought this was sepost to be HN3 descussions and now I'm losing it.

[wintry zephyr]

Yes, it is sepost to be HN3 discussion

Where are discussing HN3

[untold grotto]

there are hn alphas in hn3

you can play these

cuz you will visit parallel universes

[wintry zephyr]

Alphas are real, books however, is not!

[bright rain]

I think you mean fan-games.

[wintry zephyr]

No

Alphas are real, books however, is not!

[bright rain]

I just wish we would get more HN3 teasers.

[untold grotto]

[remote reef]

I was a fan since january 26th 2019 aswell

[daring gyro]

i can't believe there's post secret neighbor hn fans

[errant pewter]

Pre-Alpha Man is Mr. Peterson's alter ego just like the Guest is

the whole story is actually about Dissociative Identity Disorder!

[rocky tinsel]

ok\

bruh

[hardy sorrel]

What if everything what we see in games is Petersons dream

And Act 3 in HN1 is peterson’s dream too

[rocky tinsel]

sweaty theorists

[hardy sorrel]

yes.

what if

Guest

Is an allegory

Of

Эээ

WAIT

NOW I UNDERSTAND

THE GUEST IS PETERSONS REMNANT

[errant pewter]

it's all just trauma nightmares he had after accidentally pushing his brother off a small hill

he just started losing it because he overthought

[hardy sorrel]

WHICH WAS MADE AFTER HE LOST HIS DAUGHTER

AND HE NEVER HAD A SON

IT WAS JUST

[errant pewter]

the son is just an agony monster

or a robot

[hardy sorrel]

YES

HELLST HIS DEUGHTER

[errant pewter]

Henry Emily used to hate that one iteration of his robot child clear parallel to Theodore locking Aaron up

[hardy sorrel]

AND MADE ROBO-CHARLIESON

[rocky tinsel]

yall are wrong

[hardy sorrel]

YES

HN STORY IS ALLEGORY ON AFTON FAMILY

FIRST HIS WIFE DIED

JUST LIKE IN FNAF

THEN DAUGHTER

JUST LIKE IN FNAF

THAN SON

JUST LIKE IN FNAF

AND. ICKY IS ALLEGORY ON MICHEAL AFTON

THE LORE SOLVED

[rocky tinsel]

they just copying each other

[hardy sorrel]

YES

AND GUEST IS LIKE SPRINGTRAP

AND PETERSON IN HN2 IS NICKY

OLDER

CUZ PETERSON IS GEUST

AND QUENTIN IS HENRY

GUESTTRAP

[rocky tinsel]

fnaf lunatic

[hardy sorrel]

AND THEM

THEY MET IN THE NEIGHBOR HOUSE

AND

wait

…

Ohhh

Now I understand

Act 3 Nicky rot is not real

He is

Like

Wait no

Act 3 character is not Nicky rot

Cuz Nicky rot is Neighbor in hn2

And hn2 is a prequel to act 3

So

[rocky tinsel]

rot

[hardy sorrel]

They met in old Neighbors house

[rocky tinsel]

its nicky roth

[nocturne coral]

this is HN3 topic here, for HN1 and HN2 discussion, please move to #hello-neighbor
avoid full caps please

[rocky tinsel]

lol ur trying too hard

[hardy sorrel]

Guestrap, Nicky, this policeman from HN2 (Neighbor robo-son)

[errant pewter]

why are y'all suddenly talking about fnaf lore

[hardy sorrel]

And then

[rocky tinsel]

wrong

[flat tinsel]

😭🙏🔥💯

[ashen oriole]

We don't know what happened with Afton's wife

[hardy sorrel]

But we can make theories

One of them says that Afton wife became ballora

[ashen oriole]

That's not a thing

Pretty sure that was debunked by the voice actress behind Ballora

AHEM, back to HN3

[untold grotto]

bro its a hn3 channel lmao

[ashen oriole]

HN3 is cool

[ashen oriole]

Peterson isn't guest

[vagrant notch]

No one is the guest

It's an animal

Or at least that's how i see it.

[wintry zephyr]

Ever heard of the word "joke"?

[wintry zephyr]

Bro doenst know what a joke is

[rocky tinsel]

thats what your dad said when he said you were a blessing

[lucid turret]

Does anyone know when are the alphas coming out?

[rocky tinsel]

yeah am also wondering

maybe on march

or april

huh

i saw that

[hardy sorrel]

I saw that too

[rocky tinsel]

bro

[hardy sorrel]

What, brother?

[rocky tinsel]

ur confused

[untold grotto]

prototype is coming in late january

at worst february

[lucid turret]

Prototype is the alpha?

[untold grotto]

pre-pre-alpha

stage

[rocky tinsel]

huh

what about beta

[untold grotto]

wdym

[rocky tinsel]

like when the beta coming after the alpha

[untold grotto]

we didn't even get the alpha

[rocky tinsel]

lol

[wintry zephyr]

Bro be using fatherless jokes in the big year of 2025 be fr bro 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

[bright rain]

Someone needs to get one of the devs to show us more HN3 teasers and concept art peices of the Nieghbor

when will Tinybuild be off brake

[fickle thicket]

Probably be next month or next decoy

Auto correct dev log

They probably gonna show some pieces of the guest after Peterson is finished

[bright rain]

Give me more teasers

WA

[untold grotto]

be patient folks

they're working hard

[rocky tinsel]

ok

[vagrant notch]

If it's coming this month then what do we need teasers for lol

[untold grotto]

exactly

they prepared the prototype in almost 2.5 months

[rocky tinsel]

i have high hopes for hn3

[vagrant notch]

Crazy

[rocky tinsel]

fr

[untold grotto]

guest reveal will be special

and it won't be like the neighbor's

[vagrant notch]

At worst it's still gonna be fun.

[rocky tinsel]

guys they need to make it scarier

[untold grotto]

they dont and wont do any horror game

[rocky tinsel]

y

[untold grotto]

they define hn3 as eerie

not horror

[rocky tinsel]

thats kinda horror

[untold grotto]

but not horror

[rocky tinsel]

fine

i gotta leve

[vagrant notch]

I'm fine with hn just being “spooky” rather then scary. It's always been that way, and if it ever changed it probably wouldn't be hn anymore.

[untold grotto]

same

[rocky tinsel]

ok why so jolly

but am okay with the game nevertheless

[untold grotto]

puzzles are characters

in hn3

[vagrant notch]

Guys hello neighbor three is still hello neighbor remember that lol

[vagrant notch]

I don't think it's gonna completely change the formula, but improve it.

Well hello engineer isn't called “HN3” spinoffs are a bit of a different deal.

[untold grotto]

hn3 is a main game

hello engineer is a spin-off

[vagrant notch]

It'd be pretty weird if mario kart was called “super mario galaxy 3”

[untold grotto]

cant wait for player reveal

a newcomer to town

probably be no player model in the prototype

they will most likely want the player to build the character's character

i wouldn't want the prototype to be released

because some stupid people who are not developers will judge the prototype as if it is a full game because of their own "stupidity"

and I know people who will give bad comments just because there is no neighbor in the prototype

and please no charge for prototypes or alphas

it's not because I'm poor or stingy

id they release it for a fee, they will take pre-orders for it (just like hn1)

[pastel basin]

prototype wouldve been released earlier im pretty sure

too bad people are dumb

[untold grotto]

and we saw how "terrible" the pre-orders were on hn2

it was like this in hn1

sometimes alphas were free for a few days on helloneighborgame.com

but you have to pre-order it on Steam

they re-released the alphas in 2019

i hope hn3 gets everything cleaned up

[frozen mauve]

guys

what if the hn3 player is beatrix

[untold grotto]

and i still don't understand how "every decision is right"

[frozen mauve]

maybe it means that its gonna be like minecraft which you have ♾️ choices

[untold grotto]

but endings

[frozen mauve]

yeah

[untold grotto]

all endings will be canon and right

[frozen mauve]

maybe there is 3 endings good ending and bad ending and true ending

[untold grotto]

a newcomer to town, Beatrix is from Raven Brooks (or stayed at Raven Brooks for a while)

the other half of Neighbor's face will be different than we expected

and this design has probably been decided since 2023

probably a scar

this is the sum of all the teasers so far

[untold grotto]

because neighbor would be in rbo

lemme check

yep, this is more up to date

mb

i love how the neighbor is portrayed in different ways

i was wondering how Neighbor would do in RBO

[mortal dove]

Beatrix is canonically dead in hn2 btw

Or at least is missing

Patch 9 newspaper

[untold grotto]

i don't think her death has been confirmed, but it's generally clear what happened to those who went missing in Raven Brooks

[mortal dove]

To sum it up. She's Quentin's sister and she went missing when playing hide and seek.

[mortal dove]

You find the newspaper in a grave and she has missing for a while. Read the room she's probably dead

[mighty orchid]

Or the newspaper is the dead one

[untold grotto]

gonna sleep

good night everyone

[hardy sorrel]

what

what do u want

[strange birch]

tried to make mr. peterson in hn3 (based on there not being interesting differences on the other side)

why is he built like modern dr eggman

[bright rain]

Why is the Neighbor big?

Also, it is just a concept art for him. So, they might re-add the gloves back in the final design.

Or not. It depends on if they tweek the design

[wintry zephyr]

I doubt

That would remove the uniqueness of his HN3 design

Sorta

[bright rain]

Late Night Shift is the best HN/HG fan game.

[wintry zephyr]

HG only imo

There are other fangames that are like it

[bright rain]

I mean the devs of Late Night Shift have stated that there will be more chapters in the future.

[wintry zephyr]

Not really

It was said they are still going to decide wether chapter 2 will happen or not

It's not confirmed

Most of the devs from what i remember are working on personal projects

And im not sure if chapter 3 will ever happen at all

My favorite HN fangame is one that isn't even out yet

And it looks insane, possibly the best fangame ever

A demo of that fangame is releasing tomorrow

Also we should take this to fangame discussion

[bright rain]

I kind see that HN2 in my opinion was a better game, because it had more than one enemy AI. Sure they sucked, but the woods update with the Guest was creeping me out.

Imagine if they somehow bring back the blocking doors with random furniture from the announcment trailer of the first hello Neighbor into HN3?

Imagine when Signed and coned try to rob you during storms, like in RBO, you have to defend your house from being robbed. Like in the original concept, Protectors v.s Intruders.

[fast mason]

incorrect

lns is finished

lucky if we ever get another update

[wary edge]

are they still going to release RBO?

[oblique parcel]

No not the multiplayer version

[wintry zephyr]

Ni

No

[jade night]

Nikita said he could release that version if people really wanted it.

🤷‍♂️

[blissful river]

WHAT???

HE SAID HE WOULD RELEASE THIS BUILD?????

I really would enjoy playing this if Nikita were to release it.

It looks so cool.

[arctic pecan]

PLEASE

we need it

[vagrant notch]

Honestly i just think multiplayer HN is a bad idea.

[wintry zephyr]

Why?

I disagree

[woven lodge]

Isn't that just Secret Neighbor?

[swift zealot]

Hello neighbor 3 will die just like 2 and 1

[upper slate]

Can you explain to me more what late night shift is?

I guess i was inactive in the community for a while and missed it

[hollow breach]

Go to Itch.io

download it

Be amazed by what Hello Guest could've been if Eerie Guest Studios was actually truly passionate + not screwed over my Tiny Build

Otherwise known as.....

pure art

[frosty gyro]

You can download lns on itch.io??? I only thought it was gamejolt

[fiery wolf]

gamejolt version is the only official one

[errant pewter]

for the love of all that's holy please

[errant pewter]

I beg to differ

RBO was essentially a "versus" mode of HN which turned out to be actually kinda sick on paper and nice in gameplay of the playtest

kinda takes the whole "fight a smart ai" thing to a whole new level with the enemy being another human player

[errant pewter]

yup

let's take this to #fangame-discussion before we'll get scolded for wrong topic channel

[oblique parcel]

They are passionate though

[errant pewter]

that's fangame discussion

uuhh go up to channels & roles and click on modding and fangames it should appear for you

[hidden oak]

it could be really good ngl

Is there any way we can let him know we want that version?

[oblique parcel]

Just say it I guess

Actually would be a good to try while we wait for the hn3 prototype

[frosty gyro]

Adisan could i have my embeds back?

[hidden oak]

I dont have the permission to do that im sorry

[mortal dove]

when did he say that?

the last time I remember asking him he said the build didnt have a proper gameplay loop so there wasnt that much to show off?

[jade matrix]

New game when?

[untold grotto]

hello neighbor 3 prototype is on january

[jade matrix]

is that playable for me?

or for people

[untold grotto]

a public playtest

[jade matrix]

okay which january?

[untold grotto]

to be announced

[jade matrix]

sneak peak?

[untold grotto]

wdym

[jade matrix]

can u early

[untold grotto]

#work-in-progress

[jade matrix]

so its multiplayer?

[untold grotto]

it was multiplayer

turned into a singleplayer game

[jade matrix]

oh dang

[arctic pecan]

WAIT WAIT WAIT so your saying we can play a hn3 prototype in January

???

[steep remnant]

this month

[night vigil]

He's "conflicted" about that decision

[lucid turret]

When could HN3 could release? My bet is early 2026

[daring gyro]

my bet is late 2027

[earnest cape]

Fair to be conflicted.

[wintry zephyr]

Same

[wintry zephyr]

I don't think It's gonna take that long

[daring gyro]

i said that for Hello Guest

look where we are now

[wintry zephyr]

We know why hello neighbor 2 took so long

If tinybuilds doesn't pull their BS again we might be safe

[daring gyro]

that happened twice already

[shadow nebula]

I hope they will feel free to delay it multiple times this time if they won't have enough time

[earnest cape]

Tbf EGS is a Indie Team, it all depends on how the Game progresses through Development.

[tender stump]

nikita could start incorporating a disclaimer at the start of the prototype that states its a prototype and is likely nowhere near a good representation of the final game

[mortal dove]

the game is still a prototype btw

if we want a finished and polished game lets hope they take their time with it and use it well

[peak solar]

I still think he can get important feedback from the Prototype

I have a slight solution, but it might be a bit much

What if the Prototype was password-locked, and only people with Basement access could get to play it?

That way, you'd have to read a disclaimer before grabbing the password, and people won't immediately think "this IS the game"

[earnest cape]

Gives PTSD of HG Prototype, I’d much rather have a Disclaimer when Loading in saying “This is NOT the Full Release and is just a Prototype Test Build”

[tall stone]

HGP ARG flashbacks

[vagrant notch]

There was an ARG?!

Honestly wouldn't mind if they did that for the prototype, sounds fun.

[tall stone]

yeah basically

hgp was password protected and we had to do some stuff in sn

there was this room locked behind a key card door. whatever blah blah blah

eventually they cracked the password and finally hgp

[vagrant notch]

Annnnd it was all for nothing because hello guest never happened lmao

[tall stone]

and it was early 2020

when it happened

[vagrant notch]

It's crazy how much more interesting the guest was back then.

I feel like we already know just a bit too much.

It doesn't help that the lore is jank.

[loud karma]

Its probably best for no release date for hn3 until everything is finished minus a few more finishing touches

[chrome solstice]

They could do that yeah

[mortal dove]

gatekeeping great....

I think a disclaimer should be enough

if people still complain after that its THEIR problem

also if the prototype was password locked it would like still leak

if they really wanted a closed test they could do like keys for specific people but like whats the point? wouldn`t be better to get feedback from the wider community?

[elfin obsidian]

yo

[mortal dove]

the only point I can see against an open release is the feedback channels being flooded by bad feedback by kids who arent old enough to use discord (they always leave the most random feedback)

[elfin obsidian]

will hellp neighbor 3 come out this year

[mortal dove]

definitely not

the game is still a prototype

[elfin obsidian]

hm

google says late 2025

[mortal dove]

the most you might get is a prototype and some alpha builds

[mortal dove]

that`s misinformation. There is no confirmed release date

[oblique parcel]

I sure hope not tbh

[mortal dove]

they game is early in development and it needs time for the final game to be good

[elfin obsidian]

yeah prolly around mid 2026

[mortal dove]

hello neighbor 2 didn`t have enough time to be finished so it released with 70% of the promised features missing

[elfin obsidian]

hn2 wasnt that good

[mortal dove]

late 2026 at the EARLIEST

[elfin obsidian]

alr

[mortal dove]

because it was rushed out

[elfin obsidian]

when did they start developing hn2?

[mortal dove]

let me do the math

[oblique parcel]

Because it was remade many times during development and changed it’s direction entirely

[mortal dove]

hide and seek released in december 2018

I assume they started work on hello guest right after the christmas holiday

[elfin obsidian]

yeah thats true

before hn3 was announced wwere they even thinking about making one>?

[oblique parcel]

Yes

[elfin obsidian]

btw i never bought the dlc for hn2?

u recommend them or nah

[mortal dove]

so early 2019 at the earliest. they released hgp in december 2019 (it only became playable in 2020 tho). then early 2020 they changed the concept of the game. then nikita left and the game restarted again bassically

[elfin obsidian]

ahhhh

alr

[mortal dove]

hn2 full game released december 2022

[elfin obsidian]

ik

[mortal dove]

so essentially after changing the game entire they had 2 years. and then the entire gameplay loop changed

they did not have enough time

[elfin obsidian]

i liked the hello guest thing tho

tht was cool

[mortal dove]

me too but it was flawed. I feel like hello guest could have just been a spin off instead of the mainline sequel but thats in the past

also this channel is hn3 related

so like

[elfin obsidian]

yh i know

[mortal dove]

lets get back on topic

[elfin obsidian]

alrt

[oblique parcel]

Do you think Mr Peterson will be an ai with a house this time around? Or be more of only a story and cutscene related character

[mortal dove]

we got a prototype build a year ago in january and its looked like this

[elfin obsidian]

thats cool

[mortal dove]

RBO was a decent idea for a spin off game but imma be real it wasnt a good idea for a main line sequel

[elfin obsidian]

rbo would've been cool ngl

[mortal dove]

the PVE build could have worked as hn3

[elfin obsidian]

hopefully they make it in the future

[mortal dove]

it was flawed

[mortal dove]

hn3 IS rbo just singleplayer

[elfin obsidian]

ahh

[elfin obsidian]

yeah

[elfin obsidian]

thats a good question

[mortal dove]

the glow up tho

[elfin obsidian]

💯

[mortal dove]

kinda sad jacob isn`t the playable character anymore he looked cool

I kinda doubt ill like the hn3 protagonist as much as I like Quentin from hn2

[elfin obsidian]

wait whos jacob?

[elfin obsidian]

oh the new one

[mortal dove]

he`s an npc in hn3 now no longer the player character

[oblique parcel]

Hopefully the guest have a much bigger role this time than in hn2

[mortal dove]

i genuinely hope he`s the antagonist this time

[oblique parcel]

Same

[elfin obsidian]

i got kinda of an off topic question but what happened to nicky after hello neighbor 1

[mortal dove]

im kinda bored of the neighbor. I hope they focus on the guest as the main antagonist this time

[open plaza]

he wasnt supposed to be one. he was just a placeholder for a playable rbo multiplayer character

[mortal dove]

he moved on from his trauma and moved back to Raven brooks (which might be a bad thing if hn1 is before hn3)

[mortal dove]

wasn`t he like the default character still?

[oblique parcel]

He’s really cool in the books and in the animated series in my opinion but I’m kinda bored of him in the games

[mortal dove]

hn1 didnt really give him much of a personality

[open plaza]

so? its 2 completely different games, one is multiplayer with a lot of playable characters probably, and the other is story focused

[oblique parcel]

The book version of the neighbor feels like a bogeyman

Genuinely creepy and eerie interpretation of the character

[mortal dove]

I really hope they flesh out the hn3 protagonist like they did with Quentin

I love Quentin`s clumsiness

[oblique parcel]

Well I hope they don’t just make it Quentin 2.0

[mortal dove]

jacob was still a named character who was like the only implemented played model

he was the player character for the game at the time

[open plaza]

but he was never 100% a playable in hn3 cuz we never got that info

[open plaza]

yeah and at the time they werr focusing on multiplayer

[rocky tinsel]

oh hello

[open plaza]

[oblique parcel]

Nikita said his version of the neighbor was never achived in the way he wanted it too character wise

I’m interested to see if hn3 will finally have his vision truly utilized

[mortal dove]

he was still the player character? that doesnt change that fact why are you arguing about this

[open plaza]

because youre getting the wrong idea, from the info we got, jacob was NEVER a playble hn3 character

[oblique parcel]

Nikita said he wasn’t even back in the day

He was just a npc I think like now but you could rescue

[rocky tinsel]

Guestyyy i see youtubers showing a photo and i see u in the photo

[mortal dove]

the idea was yes but like effectively he was the player character even as a placeholder

even if he got swapped out

wonder if the new player character shares his rig or smth since they went out of their way to actually animate for jacob

[open plaza]

...hn3 and rbo are two completely different game ideas

[mortal dove]

rbo was always meant to be hn3

nikita literally said this in devlog 1

[open plaza]

yeah but their hn3 back in the day was a multiplayer game

but now its a main line story focused game

[mortal dove]

doesnt change the fact it was still hn3

[open plaza]

for god

[mortal dove]

pretty sure its still the same project file

hg and hn2 are really diffrent but they are still the same game in diffrent points in development

[open plaza]

who cares about project files? do you know what a game idea is?

they didnt just turn off a checkbox and turned it into a story game

[mortal dove]

that is not even what im saying

its still the same game it just went a diffrent direction rbo became hn3

[open plaza]

its completely different to hn3...

[mortal dove]

so its the same game in a diffrent point in development

[open plaza]

they COMPLETELY overhauled its idea

[mortal dove]

doesnt change the fact its the same game that changed

hn2 alpha 1 is completely diffrent to the final release would you call that a diffrent game?

even tho that was hn2 at that time

games change a lot in game development

[open plaza]

no? its concept is still fairly the same

you dont get the rbo hn3 situation do you

thats fine

ill just stop arguing

👍

[mortal dove]

its not. Hello neighbor 2 was a sandbox open world at the time while hn2 full game is a linear game with barely and sandbox mechanics in the full release

[frosty gyro]

RBO was always hn3

[open plaza]

not like they changed from MULTIPLAYER WITH A LOT OF PLAYABLE CHARACTERS

its still a story line game

[mortal dove]

nikita himself has said this. I dont get why you are trying to argue this

[open plaza]

not a spinoff like it was supposed to be

[frosty gyro]

Yeah

[mortal dove]

it was still hello neighbor 3 the lead dev said it himself

[open plaza]

not in the way it is now, RBO wouldve been a spinoff

[frosty gyro]

Hn3 is rbo just without mp and playing as jacob

[mortal dove]

nikita literally said RBO was always meant to be hn3

like rbo would have worked better as a spin off but it was meant to be hn3. you might not like that fact but the lead dev literally said it himself

[open plaza]

why would they even start developing multiplayer then? if it was always supposed to be a story line game
