hn3-discussion

[wintry zephyr]

Im assuming he doesn't know by that reaction

[late veldt]

i know i was just joking

[frosty gyro]

Edwin is hn3 main character trustttt

[late veldt]

though a lot of people seem to think everything you guys at egs say is solid fact when everythings still subject to change

[low gate]

Signed uses his mask as a frisbee

[bright rain]

Mods, ban Tinybuild! just kidding!

[untold grotto]

is a technological device planned for hn3?

[dull anvil]

is the guest a human

[late veldt]

thatd hurt if it hit you

[low gate]

Stun

[oblique parcel]

Maybe but again Alexander can’t answer that

[untold grotto]

what if he loses it

[frosty gyro]

He gets another one

[bright rain]

FLOP FLOP GAMES

[oblique parcel]

Maybe if you hit him or make him ragdoll somehow the mask falls off and he Will have to put it on again

[untold grotto]

ill steal signed's mask while he's sleeping frfr

[wintry zephyr]

That's a story question

[sonic birch]

this is awesome

[sonic birch]

ragdolling gotta return

i need

[oblique parcel]

It Will though

[sonic birch]

i want

yess

[wintry zephyr]

We? Nah let him search it for himself i ain't do nun

Bro lost it, so he has to find it

[cobalt wharf]

a device that lets you hear the sounds afar and through walls

[dull anvil]

but in the series was it like a cult

[untold grotto]

cult is different

[wintry zephyr]

What

[untold grotto]

guest is different thing

[wintry zephyr]

Those werent the guest

[robust knot]

We actually had something similar in RBO

[bright rain]

I wish I would brake into Tinybuild hedcourters, and take there concept art.

[dull anvil]

so there is one guest and the others are like the followers

[wintry zephyr]

That's kind of not confirmed

[frosty gyro]

Is it still being used in hn3?

[late veldt]

i dont think the guest cares about the cult

[wintry zephyr]

We know they're a cult but wether they worship the guest is unknown

[untold grotto]

while I'm at it, lemme ask you, did rbo evolve into hn3 when you joined?

like 2023 september

[sonic birch]

rbo was always hn3

[wintry zephyr]

Knowing the guest he's probably using them for his benefits

[sonic birch]

i thought

[late veldt]

the cultists are tied to the guest but the guest isnt tied to the cult

[robust knot]

Not now, but maybe it will find its place

[frosty gyro]

[untold grotto]

yeah but nikita probably dont started doing this as hn3

because development started almost in 2022

[dull anvil]

will we ever see the family of peterson again?

[sonic birch]

why

[robust knot]

I joined to work on RBO, then it evolved into HN3

[late veldt]

...theyre dead lol

[wintry zephyr]

They're dead

Except Aaron

[late veldt]

well aaron isnt i guess but still

[dull anvil]

but like a flashback

[oblique parcel]

Not to sound rude but please stop asking off topic story Questions its a bit hard to focus on the current topic

[untold grotto]

so its after september 2023, And when you joined RBO, did you know you were going to work for Tinybuild or were you just a partner with Nikita?

[wintry zephyr]

Probably not, we may know what happened to the neighbor though

[bright rain]

I wish I would brake into Tinybuild hedcourters, and take there concept art.

[late veldt]

im assuming going from doing a spinoff to a mainline game in a big franchise was slightly terrifying lol

[oblique parcel]

Oh and i do got an idea for the game itself at least

What if theres some wildlife? Like crows etc Which was in hn2

[solid island]

How about a leaf blower? You could blow leaves away from their property to make them like you more, or you could vacuum up a few small objects that you could then shoot (small force) at them to slow them down?

ik it sounds similar to the cake idea, but I think it could be fun + the leaf blower would need some kind of power like batteries or gas

[robust knot]

I knew that I would work with Nikita on RBO under tinyBuild

[cunning yacht]

Maybe also owls.

[low gate]

I hope our new protaganist has a proper story maybe more in depth than nickys itd be cool if they were from another country or something give em a reason to be doing what theyre doing or explain why theyre in the situation theyre in its things to note but ill have to say this when nikitas about again

[bright rain]

Give neighbor art. make HN great again.

[cunning yacht]

oh, noxified... i know... it hurts

[frosty gyro]

Deers in the forest

[oblique parcel]

Hmm maybe that could work actually

[low gate]

Yes!

I love the forest

[untold grotto]

signed running away from deers

[low gate]

Wildlide to the max

[untold grotto]

and asks for our help

will you help?

yes

no

[low gate]

Noes

[untold grotto]

signed will remember that

[low gate]

No!!!

[frosty gyro]

Telltale game

[oblique parcel]

I don’t know how game designer can come up with so Many ideas it seems hard as hell tbh

[dull anvil]

is in hello neighbor 3 the same langugage like in hn1 (missing < simming)

[untold grotto]

wayron croobian

[bright rain]

Give neighbor art. make HN great again.Give neighbor art. make HN great again.Give neighbor art. make HN great again.Give neighbor art. make HN great again.Give neighbor art. make HN great again.

[low gate]

Ive come up with so many ideas for my own game and im trying for dear life to remember

[untold grotto]

stop

[low gate]

Shush

[frosty gyro]

Mmm

[bright rain]

N o shooshing mer

[dull anvil]

are there nightmares like in hn1

[low gate]

I shall spill my ideas in the server

[untold grotto]

its a full game question

[cobalt wharf]

inventory expansion would also be nice as our range of tools start to expand as well

travel case (left) mail bag (right)

[frosty gyro]

This is very cool

[oblique parcel]

Alexander just wanna ask have you played any previous hn games/alphas? Now that you are working on hn3

[robust knot]

Yes, but I can't comment on them

[untold grotto]

https://helloneighbor.wiki.gg/wiki/Aleksandr_Churakov its a lil bit off-topic but someone created a wiki page about you, Alexander

[earnest cape]

I think something like that would work really well.

[bright rain]

THE SH1MP MORE LIKE THE SHRIMP!

[earnest cape]

Ha…

[untold grotto]

just talk about hn3 please

[robust knot]

Omg, I'm a celebrity now:)

[sonic birch]

ur so lucky this isnt in basement chat or youd be gone

[cobalt wharf]

what if there was a multi tool that could turn normal house appliances into small traps

[bright rain]

Kryptqn Veronie more like Nickita.

[earnest cape]

I think some sort of Emote Bar for different ways to express yourself to the Characters would work really well and make the Game more emotive, such as an Emote to show your friendly, A Wave to greet Characters or an Emote to show you don’t like them.

[untold grotto]

which world do you live in?

[frosty gyro]

I would love this ngl

[untold grotto]

idk if you've played it, but there may be an honor system like in Red Dead Redemption 2

[cunning yacht]

I have an idea but i don´t know if this could be helpful because i don´t know if the NPC´S can hear the footsteps, but based on a mechanic i saw from another game, maybe there could be bags with stuff like sand or other stuff to drop on the floor so your footsteps are more silent, so you can sneak up on houses better.

[earnest cape]

I think it’d be nice, that way to show your friendly.

[bright rain]

UM, YESTERDAY IS WHERE I LIIVE.

[untold grotto]

if you don't stop I will ping a moderator for inappropriate behavior towards the channel

[bright rain]

Bro, chill i will stop.

[robust knot]

I played RDR 2 (beat it twice), and we currently don't have such plans.

Thank you all for your feedback -- I'll gather and think about everything you mentioned:)

[earnest cape]

Hope you enjoy the Suggestions we gave 👍

[untold grotto]

we thank you and the team for listening to our feedback

[earnest cape]

Agreed.

[frosty gyro]

Its really good for the community to also give ideas for the game

[untold grotto]

my last question is which engine of unreal engine is used for hn3

[oblique parcel]

Ue5 from what i heard

[untold grotto]

ik but which version of ue5

[robust knot]

There's actually a good video about the topic -- I recommend everyone who wants to give feedback take the time and watch it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCjHipuMir8

[earnest cape]

If you’d like more Feedback to always look at, I recommend you should ask the Community Manager to make a Feedback and Suggestion Channel like they’ve made for many other HN Games, that way you and the Team can always check and see what the Community has to say or come up with for Ideas.

[untold grotto]

added to the list of videos to watch when available

[earnest cape]

The deeper thinking of it.

[untold grotto]

other feedback channels are created to be used after playing the full game, and the feedback channel will most likely be opened when the prototype is released

[frosty gyro]

Just about a quarter finished it and its really insightful

[untold grotto]

iirc theres a lfg and feedback channel for rbo

[bright rain]

I nead new game concepts?

[untold grotto]

its not hn3 topic

move on #off-topic

[earnest cape]

I think that would be good, but a Feedback Channel that’s just open all the time for if they ever have News or a New Build could also work out.

[bright rain]

I meant, I nead new HN3 concept art.

[untold grotto]

be patient

[bright rain]

Did you just called me bald.

[untold grotto]

the prototype is coming this month, why aren't you still patient even though they won't release a prototype that won't be for public use?

just wait for 2-3 weeks

[bright rain]

OK. call me bald one more time, and I will digitaly nuke you.

[frosty gyro]

Yeah

[wintry zephyr]

You ain't him bruh

[frosty gyro]

Finished

[bright rain]

Theodor-"So in Fortnite, our upjective is to annilaite our enemies?"

no one put a jack black theodor out>

[near meadow]

Is there jobs where you just give ideas. And draw concept designs for game design?

Im an artist so

[tender stump]

well yeah thats a concept artist

[frigid kernel]

I'm a bit late, but I always liked the freedom that Nikita intended to give with his creations. originally Neighbor and Player didn't have names either (player originally originally was the person who played the game)
it was much better imo, than a very strict lore that MUST fill every hole in a story. it made fans creative and back then, they exchanged their ideas and turned them into stories, while still caring about canon. it was nice time. I'm not strictly tied to canon, I myself have my own stories and interpretations, but it is always nice to see how the way of canon lore storytelling goes in the present.

[bright rain]

Hello, I'm your neighbor. Goodbye and see you later. This place was not for you to look and see to take it from me! Hello, your in danger. Good riduince of your behavor. You may think I'm the Devil, I wish your lives' in peril. Let me spell this out for you, I'm just your neighbor. NOW GET OUt!

[spring wind]

Is hn3 will be for phones

[untold grotto]

probably wont

[spring wind]

Godd

Good*

[foggy fable]

Hn3 would not even run on a phone

[restive ermine]

RELATIONSHIP IMPROVEMENT/MAKING THEM WORSE IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA.
Spray mentions got me Beatrix flashbacks from that one HG cutscene(I love her sm)...

[prisma merlin]

I like it too

[untold grotto]

bro

just use english

[prisma merlin]

Sorry, I forgot that I should chat in English here

[spring wind]

🙂

[untold grotto]

there is no arabic chat so use english in channels 🙂

anyways so hn3

[prisma merlin]

I chatted in Farsi
but ok
They often mistake it together

[modest canopy]

I want transportation to hn 3
at least a bicycle🤑

[low gate]

Yeah

Just a wheel

[thorn star]

Probably doesn't fit the suggested theme too well, but considering how cold cozy Raven Brooks looks in HN3 it would be cool if characters could give each other sweaters with cute cute designs on them

[low gate]

Coned

[cobalt wharf]

vandal gangs could have their leader who points them out to patrol certain areas on their turf

coned reminds me of a warlock, and signed his hunchback henchmen

just personally

i don’t know their whole deal yet

feel like they should have some sort of physical advantage over you if it’s you doing the running from them

[wintry zephyr]

Well that's me

In HN3 imbir is dead so i replaced her

I am powered by neural network

[jade night]

new marketing tool? 😔

[wintry zephyr]

Yes, it's me

[jade night]

😱

[wintry zephyr]

I am powered by neural network

[idle narwhal]

Neural network is a myth.
You are powered by a task system.

[wintry zephyr]

That is untrue

[barren saddle]

Wait until you play Rain World or Alien Isolation lol

[idle narwhal]

I'm just wondering if you take what I wrote seriously.
Well, whatever, this is not a topic for this chat.

[wintry zephyr]

Ok but please don't spread misinformation

I am powered by neural network

[idle narwhal]

Well then, have fun with your neural network power.

[wintry zephyr]

Thanks friend 🙂

[modest island]

pre alpha man protagonist of hn3

[low gate]

[peak solar]

HN3 feels a lot closer to what HN1 was trying to be than HN2

I know this might be controversial, but is it possible to add functionality to misc. props in the world?

like being able to fill containers with water, heat them on a stove, and dump the water out for example (direct example from HN1)

it makes the house feel more like a real place that's used rather than a setpiece

[restive ermine]

Such a role could suit Coned or Signed, however couldn't do so w Jacob considering his name meaning saying that he'd rather follow some leader than be a leader himself

[restive ermine]

Besides these two are actually vandals, sooo...

[wintry zephyr]

Tô me it's a mixture of both

[restive ermine]

Recalling the things HN1 and its alphas were blessed for by the players, perhaps the mainest object of entertainment was a command console – that thing did make that one alpha 2 some kinda sandbox. I mean, if HN3 is gonna be more of a sandbox-like game there def should be a console

[peak solar]

No, people mainly liked it because there was a lot of interactivity

the console was fun because people liked finding the (at-the-time) unused stuff

[restive ermine]

I did mean that actually

[peak solar]

(and also spawning things in)

[restive ermine]

One thing's existence doesn't disturb another one's

[peak solar]

I didn't say it did

[restive ermine]

The console was something really iconic

[fervent hawk]

Haven’t been here in a bit, any new hn3 news?

Or updates

[violet zephyr]

just wait until the next devlog

[oblique parcel]

I wonder what the team thought of the ideas

[oblique parcel]

Just Watched a bit of the video so far and it actually already helped my mindset on game feedback

[near meadow]

One thing that HAS to be avoided is trying to make 30 different versions of the same game. Keep ONE concept and build upon it.

The alphas for hn2 were literally different games

[oblique parcel]

Same with hn1 they spent a lot of time on Things that were actually pretty good and just remade a lot of it Even more than 1 time

But yeah its much more apparent with hn2 as the released alpha’s doesnt feel like early versions of hn2 as much as they feel like completely different games

[cunning yacht]

the guy on the video is the creator of fallout, he´s honestly such a great reference for getting to know videogames

[near meadow]

Heres a refined list,

-No linear, just thrown into the world, now figure out whatever you do, and keep rewarding players for exploration

-Breaking in houses. Add some secret entrances too. And have multiple ways to break into said houses, many houses have security. And there are some with none. And when stealing, each house should have some useful reward for curiousity.

-Have a clear goal for a spot, not jigsaw puzzles. As for the goal, let the player solve it themselves with the tools at their disposal however way they want to. Don’t make it easy, makes the methods more creative. And to make the ai more engaging, make it so you can manipulate the ai for doing things for you.

-More claustrophobic houses. Dont make it as open as hn2 houses, if you make the houses more closed with smaller rooms and more halls, its hard to tell where the ai is.

-Neighbor hideout should be the gray manor concept again and have it hidden in a forest where the player can stumble in surprise. And yes, more rooms and claustrophobic balh blah.

Have the ai have specific built in routes that itll randomly choose when you run away,

-make the ai’s sometimes leave their homes and walk around the map so the game can feel more alive.

-adding extra small things and side stories to distract players from the main story, makes it feel immersive and more fun,

[tender stump]

i mean thats just how game development goes. if a concept doesnt work, you need to throw it out and rework it

if HN3's concept doesnt seem to work then i wouldnt want them going with it anyway

[oblique parcel]

True but it Should be mostly Done before alpha stage imo

[tender stump]

what..?

[oblique parcel]

Like unless something goes entirely wrong

[tender stump]

thats not how game development goes though

those things ARE done in alpha

thats what alphas are for

to playtest and see if the concept works

[oblique parcel]

Fair enough

Im happy as long as They keep the open world idea personally (in some form at least) but mostly the guest

Them having to remove the guest again for some reason would hurt my excitement the most unironically

[oblique parcel]

I Think im getting confused because i seen people on the internet say that alpha’s is meant to be largely feature complete

Guess they were lying

[tender stump]

that is a very wrong way to look at an alpha

this is a good explanation i found on reddit

[frigid kernel]

I'm making videos too and one of the BIGGEST flaws that I'm doing in today's world is that I talk about positive things. not this rage-bait channel like "omg HN FLOPPED SO HARD now give me likes" (or if one steals from others, like the cartoon is bringing views to reuploaders). I call positivity sarcastically as a "flaw", because nothing positive brings views nowadays . you at least need to be clickbait. or show bugs. I'll die from starvation at some point if I continue making these videos, and I'm not exaggerating.

I can name a ton of good things:

• story, definitely, I'm story centered. and I said above, I don't need a fully fleshed out story, nope. it is the elements. the REAL HN could happen to any of us. at any time. my wife could die from a car accident, I could get a job as nightguard (unless I live in the hellhole country where I am in atm) and I could find myself in an old town at any time, while travelling.
• gameplay and freedom. most of my gameplay in HN is messing around with the AI and exploring the map. the good HN is a giant sandbox, which doesn't limit me.
• characters themselves - Nikita's characters are charming and they are rich under the surface, and fate gave us enough freedom to develop our own interpretation while being ok with canon (old storylines, or HG being scrapped.. I have an own HG universe by now)
  etc.

this all also depends on how much you are into a game. for me, HN is absolutely something to get into deeply and research and CARE about, while there is games I just don't care that much about.
and this is me, and old a😩 , today's young gamers just get from one game to another, so they care even less as I saw. so maybe generational research is needed.

tldr;
I DO KNOW what I like.

[oblique parcel]

I really agree with the sandbox and gameplay point you have

While i DEFENITLY have my gripes with hn1 mostly puzzle design wise i still Think its very fun to play around with both the ai and the enviornment

Hn2 unfortunally Almost completely lacked this Which is problaby why i don’t find it as fun to revist because it kinda bores me out pretty quickly personally unlike hn1 which never really bored me out because of its Sandbox and fun ai

I hope They design hn3 in a way where its a game you really have the urge to replay because of its actual gameplay like hn1 and even the hn2 alphas but much more refined

[frigid kernel]

I completed HN fully once or twice, due to personal reasons. but what I have, is a save file in act 3, where I mess around.
like I often go into the game just to have fun and chill with the man

[oblique parcel]

In short i hope they go for a more hn1/hn2 alpha approach for the ais where they feel more like actual character’s not just a gameplay mechanic you have to avoid or run away from

I loved watching the guest do his tasks in the hn2 alphas for example and he was intresting to interact with

[civic barn]

alguém tem a versão antiga do nh2 1.5 alpha?

existem duas se nn me engano

[frigid kernel]

btw, I do have ideas from a player's pov, as closing of my TED talk:

• give a hand in the beginning. real HN games are 'in medias res', "figure out what to do and how, ur free." I think a very little tutorial is needed, or hints (phone ringing and the drawn map is considered a hint in HG at the start, I mean this much only!).
• do not punish the player (HN games don't do that. I'm just listing it). people will go out of bounds anyway, people will try to use cheats anyway. get before them 🙂
• replayability. since you're working on an AI that will behave differently every time (hopefully) and be unpredictable, the game will be replayable (hopefully). HN by recipe is VERY replayable.

and just one more closing thought, it is a huge wish, if possible. PLEASE if you can, put different builds' save files to different folders in appdata, because they interfere and one HN2 build doesn't open because the other's save file is in the folder. or when each time a HN2 patch came out, I had to reset, otherwise there were issues. I do not remember alphas or HN doing that, ever

[oblique parcel]

Exactly

[visual cobalt]

We have a #portuguese-chat

[oblique parcel]

Hi 👋 Shagi what do you like hn games to be like? In terms of its gameplay

I prefer sandbox and emergent direction

[visual cobalt]

Open world gameplay and a lot of possible interactions with characters 🙂

[oblique parcel]

Same i do as well i love the hello Neighbor character’s

[frigid kernel]

how many characters do u think they will have?
cuz the map size depends on characters and vice versa, iirc

[oblique parcel]

Around 6-12 i would say

[frigid kernel]

imagine if you make all of them your enemy and they just start chasing you 😭

[oblique parcel]

I kinda want the guest to have a house again but also be able to stalk

I Think him being a house/stalker is much better than just stalker personally

[frigid kernel]

I kinda want the Smith to exist there and have a purpose
even if little. he was so wasted, it hurts

like he grabs the player
but he is weaker
and you're like <:( ok fine I'll leave, sorry
idk. I'm always too nice to the AI anyway

[oblique parcel]

A new attempt at crowman shelter would be very nice a creepy but also a bit silly house in the Woods

[sonic birch]

complaining about the kids these days

[frozen mauve]

Things to note about hn3

1 the neighbor will get a new creepy errie redisain

2 the models will look like hn2 alpha 1 and some are from beta

3 signed and coned and covered are vandals (prob)

4 jacob and iris might be allys

5 jacob works at the gas station

6 the guest might also get a new look like the neighbor

7 sliding vaulting and dragging features might get added due to the leaks

8 the player is a newcomer to raven brooks (i think its the man in the hat) 9 the npcs can use mobiles like the bike or car

[gleaming dome]

Hello neighbor 3?? Whaaat

[frozen mauve]

yeah look at my notes of whats coming in hn3

[modest island]

signed on a bike

[frozen mauve]

yeah the game disener siad that the npcs can use bikes or cars

but nothing is said about the players ability

[frozen mauve]

so you dont know anything about rbo then huh

[frozen mauve]

so just like the behavior in hn2 alpha 1

s

Things to note about hn3

10 its tinybuilds last hope

[frigid kernel]

let me guess, you saw some youtube video which had this?

[hidden oak]

could you respect the other people stuff jay?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1164752802984243210/1297733945382666340/speed.gif

[cunning yacht]

Agreed!

[wintry zephyr]

MiTH is a scrapped character

And the HN3 player is a new character aswell

[untold grotto]

also mith is from Raven Brooks

not newcomer

[wintry zephyr]

|| Fala em inglês alienígena ||

[frozen mauve]

who thinks jacob and iris are allys in hn3

[wintry zephyr]

That will depend

They can be allies or enemies

That will depend on your relationship with them, if you steal something from the gas station infront of jacob he's DEFINITIVELY not going to be your friend

[frozen mauve]

this new relationship ai thing is REALLY COOL but since they promice us in hn2 and dident bring it i dont belive much that they can do this thing

[wintry zephyr]

They didn't promise that in HN2?

What are you talking about

[frozen mauve]

no the neural network

[wintry zephyr]

Neural network is different

[frozen mauve]

they promice us that it will come in hn2 and they dident do it

so i have trust issues

[blissful river]

yeah, that's not going to be in HN3 I don't think.

[wintry zephyr]

Neural network would've been a disaster honestly

And it's not going to be in HN3

[frozen mauve]

and the ai rundown in hn1 is TOTLLY diff then the hn1 full game ai

[frozen mauve]

do he have a name or his name is mith

DONT

[wintry zephyr]

Yes it's MiTH (not his real real name but that's how the devs call him)

[frozen mauve]

also do you think jacob and iris are siblings

sorry

[wintry zephyr]

Idk

[untold grotto]

he is Man in The Hat (MiTH) has no canonical name

but some people call him Sombrero Man In The Hat (SMITH)

[frozen mauve]

or we can stick with smith

the name

[untold grotto]

they're probably friends

because the prototype has animations like waving

so since they won't wave to signed

[wintry zephyr]

Blueberry boy and grape girl

[frozen mauve]

there is gonna be npcs health states from one of the leaks where iris is holding jacob

[wintry zephyr]

Stop saying "leaks" it's not a leak if it came from a dev

It's called a teaser

[frozen mauve]

-_-

[untold grotto]

leaks means teaser in hn fandom

at least most people (even Alex) call them leaks

[wintry zephyr]

Oh

Well then

That doenst make much sense but aight

[frozen mauve]

police gonna be in da game being usless as ever

[wintry zephyr]

We don't know taht

Police are probably not in teh game

Because the town is half abandoned

[untold grotto]

what are the police looking for in a half-abandoned town?

[frozen mauve]

for the guest

[wintry zephyr]

Man i love relying my safety in long limbed police mans

[wintry zephyr]

Nah

[frozen mauve]

anything can happen in raven brooks nowadays

[wintry zephyr]

They're just doing their job

The guest is an urban legend

[frozen mauve]

the full game for hn3 will prob come in late 2026

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah

[frozen mauve]

since it takes 1-2 years to create a hn game

like hn1 and hn2

[wintry zephyr]

Technically HN1 and HN2 took much longer

[frozen mauve]

for concept?

[wintry zephyr]

What

No i mean in development

[untold grotto]

hn2's working start on late 2018

and it released on late 2022

almost 4 years

[frozen mauve]

🤯

and hn1 started in 2014

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah

Which is also 4 years

No 3 years

[frozen mauve]

and hide and seek took 1 year

[untold grotto]

probably hn3 got released on 2027 or 2028

[frozen mauve]

no the latest is late 2026

they are done writing and already have everything set up

[wintry zephyr]

Damn 2027 was 3 years ago

HN3 release ended up not being as expected sadly

But i think HN4 is looking promising

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah i don't think we know any of that at all

[frozen mauve]

they have the story,carathers,most of the models etc

[untold grotto]

the story is probably not even over yet

[frozen mauve]

yeah but they are prob 35% done

[untold grotto]

and we've seen how the story can change in other games' development stages

[frozen mauve]

and hn3 was rbo

and rbo started in 2021 (i think)

[untold grotto]

rbo have another story another concept another gameplay

[untold grotto]

late 2022

but it probably wasn't a hn game when it started

it was one of the prototypes created by Nikita

[frozen mauve]

ohhhhh

[untold grotto]

in late summer 2023 and in September 2023 Nikita rejoined EGS and built the rbo prototype with Alexander

[untold grotto]

egs was working on hn2 at that time

[frozen mauve]

you mean the patchs

[untold grotto]

yep

[frozen mauve]

they siad that the patchs will have side quests and new people and more

[untold grotto]

during the RBO pre-alpha period EGS's members , some, not all, were working for RBO

[untold grotto]

hn2 act2

promised to us

[frozen mauve]

hn2 act2

what the hell is that

[untold grotto]

story expansion including the forest section

forest section is a demo

[frozen mauve]

yeah they said new people and the guest isnt

how bout the farmer

[untold grotto]

i think all EGS members started working towards the end of the summer months

then it got became singleplayer game

[frozen mauve]

multiplayer would be more fun tbh but i dont think it will feel like the first 2 games

[frosty gyro]

May,june era is my guess

[frosty gyro]

And act3

[wintry zephyr]

That is just straight up untrue lol

"most of the models" and it's only 3

[untold grotto]

when I asked Nikita in the summer, he said that not everyone was working

[frozen mauve]

look at all the "teasers"

[untold grotto]

probably july

[wintry zephyr]

And there's probably alot more characters planned for teh game that we don't know

[frosty gyro]

September is probs when it turned into single player

[wintry zephyr]

Dude it's still untrue

We're in prototype phase, nothing is final

The story isn't final, the models aren't, final etc

[frozen mauve]

so there is a chance jacob wont make it

[untold grotto]

aleksander emphasized that artstyle can still change

[wintry zephyr]

Yes

Not saying he Will but there is a chance

Look at MiTH for example

Or beatrix

[frozen mauve]

maybe beatrix and SMITH will come

[wintry zephyr]

All scrapped characters that we're relevant to the story at one point

[frozen mauve]

we are just in prototype

[wintry zephyr]

Beatrix is dead

She went missing

[untold grotto]

they are probably around 50-60 years old now

[wintry zephyr]

As a child

And MiTH is just scrapped

We literally saw him in a grave

[frozen mauve]

can anyone show me a pic of the neighbor in hn3

[untold grotto]

mith was someone who was planned to be in hn2 act2

[frozen mauve]

i cannot send

[wintry zephyr]

Doubt it

He was supposed to be in old HN2

[untold grotto]

hn2 patch9 hidden photos

[wintry zephyr]

I wonder what his role was in teh story

[frosty gyro]

Yep

[wintry zephyr]

Eehh

We still saw him i a grave

[untold grotto]

was planning on making at least an appearance

[frozen mauve]

can anyone show me a pic of the neighbor in hn3

[frosty gyro]

And not a coffin appearance

[wintry zephyr]

Him appearing in a coffin is just confirmation he's dead im sorry

I just doubt he was going to be in it

[frozen mauve]

hello neighbor game routine 1 annoument 2 annoument trailer 3 good alpha 4 bad beta 5 "throws up" full gam

[tall stone]

somehow hn2 went down the same road

but worse

-lost builds

[untold grotto]

assuming these are teasers

[tall stone]

-alot of scrapped features

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah

[wintry zephyr]

That's ruined town

[untold grotto]

yes

[frozen mauve]

im gonna puke saying full game

[untold grotto]

these are all hidden photos found

[tall stone]

-hg and rotm were already scrapped even before hpg was a thing

[frosty gyro]

More than alot

[frozen mauve]

what is dis

[low gate]

Is it just me or do i see a tad HN3 in this

Looks HN3 like

[tall stone]

can't you actually believe that

[untold grotto]

patch 10 teaser

[wintry zephyr]

Ruined town

[tall stone]

we got hgp even after hg and rotm were done for

and we didn't even know

[frozen mauve]

it looks like more of hn2 alpha 2

[wintry zephyr]

Just like the HN1 alphas

[tall stone]

what's more crazy that it's actually true

[wintry zephyr]

Alphas we're scrapped before we even got pre-alpha

[tall stone]

alpha 1.5 was made even before pre-alpha released

[frozen mauve]

maybe hes nicky roth

[untold grotto]

no

[frozen mauve]

just joking

[wintry zephyr]

No???

Oh

[tall stone]

seriously hn1 even in the beginning had problems

[frozen mauve]

btw did nikita make nicky roth cause nicky is similer to his name

[wintry zephyr]

Yes obviously

Everything in HN1 was by Nikita aned EGS

[frozen mauve]

how bout dynamic pixels

dident they make the models for hn1

[wintry zephyr]

DP and EGS are the same thing

Dynamic pixels was rebranded into EGS

[frozen mauve]

OHHHH SO DP REBRANDED AS EGS

i never knew that

i thought they were sperate game studios

cause diff name

[tall stone]

bro wasn't born before 2020

look let me explain

[frozen mauve]

yes i am'

i wasent a hn fan till 2019

[tall stone]

so basically right before hn2's alpha 1 version released Dynamic rebranded to EGS

like a month after hga1

hga1 is the last pre-release under DP

[wintry zephyr]

I was born in 2026 👶

|| mods it's a joke don't ban me ||

[frozen mauve]

lets play 2 truths and a lie hn3 edition

who wanna go first

[wintry zephyr]

|| NOT || ME!!!

[frozen mauve]

ok i gonna tell

1 sliding and dragging is planning to be added 2 npcs can use bikes 3 jacob is an invader

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah

[untold grotto]

i have a friend who got banned because he said he was 3 years old

R.I.P superhouseman

[frozen mauve]

whos gonna find the lie

[wintry zephyr]

Mods who actually be falling for things like that are just...

Like how do you not get a super obvious joke like that

[wintry zephyr]

There is no lie lol

[tall perch]

its Discord TOS iirc

[wintry zephyr]

All of these are planned

[frozen mauve]

incorrect jacob is not an invader

[wintry zephyr]

He is lol

Get your facts checked

[tall perch]

its not a choice the Moderators make its something they have to do because of the Terms of Service

[wintry zephyr]

He invades other homes

[untold grotto]

this is actually because of Discord's shitty auto ban system

[frozen mauve]

the dev said so

[tall perch]

oh yeah

[wintry zephyr]

No?

[untold grotto]

my other account was banned from discord where I said I was 0 years old

[frozen mauve]

your getting banned

[untold grotto]

"age safety"

[wintry zephyr]

We literally saw Jacob invading people's houses in the steampage

[frozen mauve]

yeah but it is rbo pics

[wintry zephyr]

That is so freaking stupid

[tall perch]

no thats HN3

[wintry zephyr]

No it isn't?

It's from teh HN3 steampage

[frosty gyro]

🤨

[tall perch]

the screenshots shown on the HN3 steampage are, infact, from HN3

[frozen mauve]

alot of people said that the pics in steam is rbo pics

[wintry zephyr]

They lied

[untold grotto]

no

[wintry zephyr]

If it was RBO it wouldn't be in the steampagae

Also it doenst even look like RBO lol

[frozen mauve]

the game diesier said "who said jacob is invading" so thats an obvious no

[untold grotto]

if it was rbo there would be 3 jacobs

[untold grotto]

nikita said this

[frozen mauve]

so

[wintry zephyr]

Diesier

[untold grotto]

and aleksandr confirmed this by saying that AIs will enter homes without permission

[frozen mauve]

i dident see that message

[wintry zephyr]

Só it's confirmed he is an invader right?

[frozen mauve]

yeah but smt no

[untold grotto]

probably

[wintry zephyr]

It is confirmed lol

[frozen mauve]

i think npcs invade for good reasons

[wintry zephyr]

Sorry bro

[untold grotto]

jacob may only be in prototypes, but there will definitely be invader AIs

[wintry zephyr]

No, no one invades someone's house "for good reason" lol

[frozen mauve]

cant wait for dakblake video about trapping npcs in the player house lol

[wintry zephyr]

Anyways where we're we again

[untold grotto]

hmmm

[wintry zephyr]

You basically didn't tell any lie

[frozen mauve]

ok who wanna go

[wintry zephyr]

|| NOT || ME!!!

[untold grotto]

cant wait for devlog 2

[frozen mauve]

i know you will say not me

lemme think of a lie

but it must be good

[untold grotto]

let's see where Nikita will be in devlog 2

[rain musk]

Wait are you saying that you wanna fight someone?

[frozen mauve]

no

[wintry zephyr]

What???

[rain musk]

Oh ok

[frozen mauve]

who wanna go for 2 truths and a lie

[rain musk]

When he said “do you wanna go”

[frozen mauve]

thats what i siad

i siad ok who wanna go

[untold grotto]

lets move on hn3

[wintry zephyr]

Bruh 😭

[frozen mauve]

guys can we drive bikes or cars like npcs

[wintry zephyr]

Not confirmed

[rain musk]

That’s basically saying “do you wanna fight” in my country

[frozen mauve]

YOUR SPEAKING ENGLISH

[rain musk]

But it’s fine

[untold grotto]

they had some work about that

i remember Nikita was scheduled to ride a bike in rbo

[frozen mauve]

i asked a dev if we can drive cars he said only npcs for now

[foggy fable]

Imagine getting run over in hn3 by a npc

[frozen mauve]

LOL

[foggy fable]

Wait that would be cool, if a nice didn't like you it would run you over

[frozen mauve]

might be signed way of getting rid of us

[untold grotto]

where is my #work-in-progress post

[rain musk]

Imagine being able to drive cars in hn3

GTA but hello neighbor

[untold grotto]

grand theft burglary

[frosty gyro]

Yesterday

[rain musk]

Grand theft neighbor

[foggy fable]

Imagine running over a npc and they just die

[frosty gyro]

Ooooooof

[untold grotto]

grand theft auto: raven brooks stories

[foggy fable]

Although judging by the games aim, I feel like they wouldn't let this slide

Wait

What if

[rain musk]

Will we be able to commit other crimes in hn3 other than breaking into homes

[foggy fable]

If you were too much of a jerk in hn3 it just kicks you out of the town

[frosty gyro]

Harassment ig

[frozen mauve]

one time i saw the guest in hn2 alpha 1 getting boosted up with a chair out of the map and when he feel down hes ok so guest have nokia armor

[rain musk]

Give us the ability to make tnt and blow up stuff like signs or abandoned houses

Let’s add a rap studio so we can rap bars and sell it to raven brooks citizens to make money

[frosty gyro]

LMAO

[frozen mauve]

The Guest in Hello Neighbor 3 is a sinister and enigmatic character who acts as one of the primary enemies in the game. Here’s a detailed breakdown of his role, behavior, and design in HN3:

Role in HN3
The Guest resides in the decrepit and eerie Golden Apple Amusement Park, a location that reflects his haunting nature. He is an enemy that emerges at night, making the player’s exploration of Raven Brooks even more dangerous.

Behavior and Mechanics
Nighttime Predator

The Guest only appears if the player ventures out at night.
He silently follows the player, using shadows and darkness to his advantage.
Unique Mechanic: The Stare

If the player turns to look at the Guest, he will stop moving momentarily, almost like a reverse "Weeping Angel" mechanic.
If the player looks away, he resumes stalking relentlessly.
Persistent Threat

Even after retreating, the Guest will reappear if the player stays out too long.
He might trap the player in secluded areas, forcing them to find alternative escape routes.
Terrifying Encounters

He can block exits, luring the player deeper into dangerous areas.
The Guest might use environmental tools like flickering lights, locked gates, or eerie sounds to disorient the player.
Design
The Guest’s appearance reflects his role as a nightmare-inducing figure:

Tall and Slender: His unnaturally elongated form makes him look otherworldly.
Face Obscured: His face remains hidden under a featureless white mask, adding to the mystery.

[untold grotto]

chat gpt?

[frozen mauve]

yea

i showed chatgpt the guest cara in hn3 in wiki so i asked it to explain

[untold grotto]

chatgpt using hn fandom wiki as source is bad

[frozen mauve]

no i copied the guest cara in wiki

and paste

in chatgpt

[untold grotto]

i wasn't talking about that

[frozen mauve]

?

[untold grotto]

when I ask hn questions gpt usually use the fandom wiki as a source

[frozen mauve]

lemme try that

[untold grotto]

at least using wiki gg would be better

[frozen mauve]

bruh

i asked it to explain the guest and it explained jacob

and gpt told me jacob is the guest

💀

💀

💀

[lunar trail]

never trust ai

[stoic shore]

this is why you should NEVER ask an ai to explain game lore

[frozen mauve]

hi

[gray roost]

hello

[wintry zephyr]

That's why you don't use AI shit

[wintry zephyr]

This is kinda cool ngl

[frozen mauve]

guys im playing hn1 alpha 1 and there is no sound while when i went on yt i has sound

how can i fix it

[woven lodge]

NEIGHBOR!

[frigid kernel]

I miss the bro
he was talented AND helpful

[tall stone]

true

[frigid kernel]

this was never stated tho
never

I'd say from HG, Quentin was local, Bea and Smith weren't

[tall stone]

do you have a headcanon about where smith is from

i think he's from the city or whatever

[frigid kernel]

very far away
traveled there to investigate something, because it was promising for some reason

[cunning yacht]

What are the features that has been announced with hn3?

[modest canopy]

https://gamejolt.com/c/helloneighbor
It's a shame that hello neighbor is not active in gj at all. gj is literally a service where mods/fan games and people's content is distributed. it would be nice if there was a new admin there who could put stars and bring it to the top.

because the last time anyone was on the front page it was me, 7 months ago at a not-so-great art work

[cunning yacht]

I tried to post smth in it

[modest canopy]

it would be very cool if some active user would be put in gj admin (I propose my candidacy xdd)

[earnest cape]

Imagine with the Feature of the Characters liking and disliking people they could get revenge and just try to run you over.

[wintry zephyr]

That would be fire

[safe raft]

It would be cool if there was a mechanic like if the Neighbor goes outside he would put his gloves on and do things but when he is inside he takes them off.

[cunning yacht]

Agreed

[kindred crag]

Fun fact: I told him that the guest is Jacob. Now he says it when you ask him

[spring wind]

will the hn3 prototype be available to every regular player?

[spring wind]

?

[frozen mauve]

wait so gpt is neural now tinybuild can add that

[tall perch]

i dont think thats how that works

i dont think they can just take chatGPT and put it into their games and have it act like the normal chasing or stalking AI like we've seen in previous HN games, and even in general i dont think theyre going to try adding in a Neural Network again

[solar rivet]

is there going to be a HN 3??

[oblique parcel]

Yes

[solar rivet]

When did they announce that

[untold grotto]

about 2 months ago

[solar rivet]

Oh then I have missed out alot

[wintry zephyr]

That's not how it works buddy

[swift lion]

I don't think they can just install chatgpt and then drag the whole file into Unreal Engine 5

[earnest cape]

Search for the HN3 Devlogs on YouTube to catch yourself up with stuff a bit.

[woven lodge]

As someone who works with AI a lot ||I had my brain sucked out and replaced with ChatGPT|| it's not impossible, but really impractical since it would require a stable internet connection to use the API for a singleplayer game for a purpose that can be filled with a less powerful AI.

[thorn star]

Plus, adding such technology is unreasonably expensive and unstable, since ai can easily find a bug in the game and start using it for its own purposes.

[vagrant epoch]

Hi, can someone help me, I want to know if you can play secret neighbor Nintendo and PC? Please

With crossplay

[hidden oak]

hello, wrong chat to type this, better if you type it in #secret-neighbor

[safe raft]

Wouldn't it be cool if crows could carry keys like in HN1 alpha 2 in HN3?

or maybe even other items to?

[knotty rock]

That’d be cool

[safe raft]

anything you like to see in HN3?

[wintry zephyr]

The gaap

Or the Golden apple factory

[knotty rock]

Golden apple factory “Gaap” /j

[safe raft]

I would love to see those make it in Game

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah but...

What about the mill?

[safe raft]

tbh I dont think it will make it in the full game but it would be cool

[wintry zephyr]

Overhauled mill

I have an Idea for how it could appear

[safe raft]

How?

[wintry zephyr]

Basically, the idea is that in the map there would be a junkyard you could visit, the junkyard has a ton of scraps and other discarded items that you can use to craft a tool (yes, crafting system) or to just get a tool you want. Vandals will also regularly visit the scrapyard to get scraps and build their homes and stuff

The mill is a building mostly made of scraps, it's located inside the scrapyard

The neighbor lives in the mill and uses the scraps of his junkyard to make machines, tools, and stuff like that

He will fend off vandals from his property and you

[safe raft]

OH that is a really cool idea

[wintry zephyr]

Thanks

[safe raft]

you're welcome

So was it confirmed that we are getting a alpha this month?

[jade night]

Having the mill as just a normal hideout type location is kinda mid ngl.

[earnest cape]

I’d prefer no crafting system, I’d rather it go back to how it was with having to find Items, based off of Teasers Jacob would be a Character that has a crowbar so you’d have to find a way to get it from him.

[jade night]

I'm fairly sure HN3 may have a crafting system, since that was a big thing from RBO, I guess we will find out eventually though since they didn't really scrap that much from RBO tbh.

[woeful loom]

50/50

But not an alpha, a prototype

[earnest cape]

True.

[safe raft]

Got it

[jade night]

Also, personally i'd disagree, a crafting system would help distance the game from being the linear mess HN2 is, but that really depends how they would do it.

[safe raft]

A crafting system would be cool for HN3 ngl

[earnest cape]

Fair I think the idea is cool but I feel it would need to be made well to be good for the Gameplay Loop of the Game.

[earnest cape]

Don’t expect too much from the Prototype, as Nikita said it’s simply just a Prototype nothing is complete and will obviously be very unpolished.

[safe raft]

I knew that

[wintry zephyr]

I mean tbh what way could you implement It?

The mill bossfight was cool, sure, but i don't see how they could make it fit imo

And also i just prefer it this way

[jade night]

Rumble On The Mill itself felt more like a climax of the game.

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah

[jade night]

It would make sense if, as the game went on the Neighbor or Guest would start building the Mill structure itself out of scraps and the weather got worse.

[wintry zephyr]

Oh hold up

You may be cooking

One thing i don't understand is how mill makes the weather worse

Like how is it making a freaking tornado

[jade night]

It's not the mill it's more of the Mayak getting more unstable, and the once the mill is created on a high height it is able to control the properties of the Hurricane and focus it on an area, the weaker the mill is the less it can control the Tornado. [Which is sorta seen in the ROTM Prototype and explained by Nikita].

[wintry zephyr]

Ok i kinda like that

[jade night]

I had this idea for my HN3 fangame [RBS] but since then it got changed into a non HN game so most of that is now canned lol.

[jade night]

And another way you can see this, is a timelimit, once the ROTM event occurs time resets, so HN3 would be a timeloop.

[wintry zephyr]

HN3 won't use timeloops cuz Nikita likes his stuff grounded

"i like my cheese grounded brah"

Tbh i think it would be cool if it had smth to do with timeloops

Cuz timeloops are just an interesting idea

[jade night]

He did say in the HN3 Devlog 1.5 video about the game prototype revolving around changing time or whatever, he would use ideas from it or something along the lines.

so

who knows really

[wintry zephyr]

Time machine game

Yeah but im not sure what he will use of it

I don't think he'll straight up add time travelling or timeloops or anything like that though

But yeah ig we just have to wait and see

[wintry zephyr]

I think crafting system should be used to craft unique items that uou can't find in teh map

Like idk

A springly boot for example

[jade night]

I think it would be like combining items.

lol

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah exactly

You combine stuff and turn it into other stuff

[jade night]

Nikita has experience with Crafting systems because of RBO and Giant Monster.

so

I think they can pull it off.

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah

Not sure how this would work but would be cool if NPCs also crafted tools

[jade night]

that would be pretty cool

[wintry zephyr]

One of the goals for the HN kickstarter was a crafting system

Kickstarter had alot ofecool ideas

[pine heron]

Genuinely, the only thing I want right now when it comes to Hello Neighbor 3 is clues on what happened to Quentin. I know he was kidnapped by the bird cult but what the hell happened after words.

[wintry zephyr]

Quentin is dead lol

Don't even get your hopes up, HN3 is really disconnected from everything else so far

[pine heron]

It was never confirmed and he's one of my fav characters so I would literally go depressed.

[wintry zephyr]

Patch 10 is cancelled

Which means anything that was supposed to happen afterwards isn't canon

[pine heron]

It’s obvious to me. I love Hello Neighbor and I know almost everything.

[wintry zephyr]

So yes, the most logical conclusion is that he's dead 🤷‍♂️

And if he's not

Than we'll never know

[jade night]

He will go simming 😱

[wintry zephyr]

Bro is MJ 2 fr

[pine heron]

Ikr

[frosty gyro]

When mj 5

[untold grotto]

bro is mj 3

mj 1 = bald guy
mj 2 = mith
mj 3 = quentin

[earnest cape]

Eh fair.

[daring gyro]

time loop theory

[compact atlas]

Guys, got a question, so, in terms of Devlog 1.5, does the drawing in the bank (the name "JET" and all the stars and hearts) could actually mean something?

[errant pewter]

I mean forest dlc takes place after the full game it seems

it just kinda seems like that

I really doubt that being hugged by 2 dummies would kill him and he's just having his usual "pass out" again

so I'm sure he's okay

[wintry zephyr]

I don't take patch 9 as canon personally because y'know

It's part of patch 10

I think in the actual game since patch 10 never happened we could just consider it as a "secret" ending that isn't canon with the museum ending being the canon one

[errant pewter]

fun fact technically speaking all patches are somewhat part of patch 10

[wintry zephyr]

I mean yeah

I think it was all a build up or smth

[errant pewter]

goofing aside, even if it's a portion of patch 10 it's one that MADE its way into the game

[errant pewter]

guess you could say it was all a tiny build up

[frosty gyro]

[wintry zephyr]

It did but the thing is, in the actual game it's like an alternate route

So i Just consider it as a secret ending

[errant pewter]

actually, you could say that

[earnest cape]

Who knows.

[earnest cape]

Since Patch 10 is canceled the ending is quite literally Quentin getting murdered, just like Missing Journalist going missing and getting killed by The Cult since Quentin has no continuation anymore he just shares the same fate, which was the original intention with the ending before people wanted an expansion.

[gentle pebble]

It’s possible they might do something for Quentin later at some point to finish his arc

[earnest cape]

I highly doubt it, since Patch 10 had been getting worked on really hard until HN3 came into focus so it was scrapped, don’t think there will be any future updates.

While I agree the ending was Anti-Climactic when you look at it from a deeper point it’s kinda sad, since Quentin did all that effort to save Aaron not knowing it would lead to his own demise and also that Aaron was actually safe just Ted pushed the safety to an extreme to protect him.

[rocky tinsel]

[frigid kernel]

HN2 lore pulled a HG 🤣🤣😭

[frigid kernel]

if you break it Down to plot points only, the exact same happens in HN and HN2
someone wants to save a whining brat from a place he was closed to.
the person has little to no idea about the truth,they just have good heart.
when the truth comes out, they're like "oh"
Nicky collects trauma as price. Quentin gets knocked out and the attention of a deadly cult.

maybe Aaron is indeed a bad omen.

[pastel basin]

about what percentage of the full game's feature's will be in the prototype?

[severe merlin]

0.1 % 🙂 very little as we just laying down the technical foundation

[pastel basin]

ah alright

will the prototype feature a house you can break into for like stealth testing and to try a house ai?

[severe merlin]

When I said about using something from time travel game in HN3, I didn’t mean time travel. I meant some AI behavior and butterfly effect stuff (in a nutshell, but there is more)

[cunning yacht]

Hey nikita

[untold grotto]

hello nikita

[wintry zephyr]

Thanks for answering

So no time travelling guys (probably)

[oblique parcel]

Thank god lol

[pastel basin]

ooh butterfly effect sounds interesting

[untold grotto]

will rbo hurricanes/storms still remain in hn3

[pastel basin]

iirc aleksander said they wanted a procedural weather system in hn3

so prolly

[untold grotto]

or its just scrapped

[wintry zephyr]

That would be really cool

[untold grotto]

nikita goes offline

r.i.p

[wintry zephyr]

Press F for respect

[pastel basin]

aleksander said something about npcs waving to each other in the prototype meaning a friendly relationship

will the prototype feature exchanges for when npcs meet someone they dont like

[untold grotto]

theres 3 npcs:

jacob, signed and iris,

So since jacob won't wave at signed, he's friends with Iris

[earnest cape]

Nikita I know this may sound like a FG Question but each Main Line HN Game has added New Mechanics to the Gameplay Loop, such as HN2 adding Mantling/Climbing and Hiding Under Furniture, so I feel like it would be obvious the Next Installment would have these Features?

[severe merlin]

Highly likely

[wintry zephyr]

Peak

[untold grotto]

in prototype?

[severe merlin]

But implemented in a different way

[severe merlin]

Kind of

[untold grotto]

mmm

nikita, are you planning on releasing a full video of RBO's pre alpha playtest?

[severe merlin]

It depends, actually. But climbing is something that might return

[oblique parcel]

Yay

[untold grotto]

full video where you took clips and posted 'em

[oblique parcel]

Climbing was very nice in hn2

[spiral atlas]

Any estimate on a date on when we can expect the next devlog? Or is it still just aiming for late January?

[earnest cape]

Awesome!

[earnest cape]

I do remember Hiding Under Furniture was something in RBO during its Co-Op Phase shown off in one of the Videos.

[pine heron]

Pretty sure it was a cabinet

[pastel basin]

huh

[earnest cape]

You can hide in cabinets but I’m talking about this:

[pine heron]

Got it. Thanks for the clarification.

[earnest cape]

But now rewatching it I think they were hidden because they put a box on.

[pine heron]

Thought you were talking about the RBI prototype trailer. Lol.

RBI? RBO

[earnest cape]

Nah.

[wintry zephyr]

RBI

Raven Brooks Invasion

[earnest cape]

Either way I’d like for Furniture to be Hiding Spots again like in HN2.

[wintry zephyr]

Quite fitting actually

[pine heron]

I agree. It would be better if RBO was still multiplayer but now it's single player.

[wintry zephyr]

It's HN3 now

A multiplayer would work better for a spinoff

[pine heron]

I know. Genuinely I think Hello Neighbor 3 being single player is better. I feel like Multiplayer kind ruins Hello Neighbor games. I mean, look at Hello Engineer.

[earnest cape]

I think a Co-Op HN Game for the future would be great, but not for a Main Line HN Game.

[pine heron]

Fair enough. Secret Neighbor is actually pretty good. I just haven't thought of it as the best.

[earnest cape]

In short a Co-Op HN Game would be great as a Spinoff not a Main Game.

[safe raft]

Wait how about local Co-Op? that would work

[pine heron]

Heck no. I prefer my screen all to myself.

Split screen just doesn't work.

[safe raft]

It could tbh

[pine heron]

I guess we do have different preferences.

[safe raft]

Yeah everyone does

[pine heron]

Aight. I'm not tryna have enemies on discord so I'ma shut up.

[fickle thicket]

Am I’m going crazy or what

[pine heron]

I don't see It

[fickle thicket]

Damn I’m am crazy

[fickle thicket]

Also I think the fact that this is fan made isn’t helping I think you might see it when the model is completes

[stone tartan]

If Aaron is still alive, I wonder if he’ll look much older given how much time has passed

I just got done watching a video about a Hello Neighbor mod called Curse Retold. The cutscenes are amazing, and I think Hello Neighbor 3 could use something like this

[wintry zephyr]

Wdym? The Peterson art is official

[fickle thicket]

No I mean it isn’t finished so we don’t know if this what he actually gonna look like when fully model and finished

[wintry zephyr]

Ok but why did you call it fanmade

[fickle thicket]

It because I use the wrong image this is what I’ll was gonna sent

[wintry zephyr]

Oh

[fickle thicket]

Also Mr Peterson hn3 design might be my favorite out all of them

[compact atlas]

Is it true that Raven Brooks is called "Old town"? I think I saw something related on a leaked gameplay of rbo prototype

[compact atlas]

That neighbor could be much older than hn1

[fickle thicket]

I know that look at him

[compact atlas]

lmao

[wintry zephyr]

That's just prototype stuff

[compact atlas]

ohh got it

[fickle thicket]

Btw hn3 design gotta be a referenced to hn1 concept art

[wintry zephyr]

No

He ain't a reference just because he's fat

[fickle thicket]

He have no gloves

[fickle thicket]

I’m reaching for the stars with this one

[wintry zephyr]

True

[wintry zephyr]

It's just a new design bruh 😭

The sweater isn't even the same pattern

[fickle thicket]

My bad I don’t what I’m thinking right now

[wintry zephyr]

Also why does old design neighbor has like a bubble or smth in his right arm

[fickle thicket]

The hammer?

[wintry zephyr]

Right arm

[fickle thicket]

Never seen that holy crap

[earnest cape]

No in the Books “Old Town” is the name of one of the Areas of RB, with other places such as the “Square” and “Friendly Court” where HN2 takes place.

[wintry zephyr]

So is old town an abandoned part of Raven Brooks

[compact atlas]

And the part where Nicky Roth has moved to, isn't it?

[tough lagoon]

nikita news

[wintry zephyr]

No, that's just 910 friendly court

[compact atlas]

Got it

[fickle thicket]

We don’t know also Nicky not going to be in the game

[wintry zephyr]

We don't know that lol

He could be appear

[fickle thicket]

Wait I thought we were gonna only have 8 ai in full game

[wintry zephyr]

Bruh we're still in prototype phase

There are definitively more characters

[fickle thicket]

I heard that from somewhere

[wintry zephyr]

Misinformation

[fickle thicket]

Ok

[pine heron]

I think they've finished making Aris. I saw an image recently and it looks like she's fully fledged animated and works.

[earnest cape]

She hasn’t seemed to have gotten the refinement for her hair yet.

[jade night]

Iris was always finished? at least the RBO version of her

In the in-game house lighting screenshots you can see iris on the roof (likely the person playing it was Iris).

[pine heron]

Oh. I never noticed.

[pine heron]

Could you send me the full image? Haven't seen the lighting image?

[earnest cape]

Yeah it’s clear that they haven’t given her the refined hair yet, at least for the Prototype.

[potent spear]

Any new official teasers of the neighbors design?

Haven't check in a bit

[earnest cape]

Nah we haven’t gotten any in a while.

[oblique parcel]

Since weather system is very likely happening I kinda hope it’s not just regular storms you know but like weird storms because that’s something in the lore that the weather is very weird with crows going absolutely wild

[frosty gyro]

Yeah

[oblique parcel]

In hindsight it’s a shame patch 9 made Beatrix Quentin lost sister as that kinda destroys the opportunity of her possibly being a character in hn3

[heavy hound]

What would hello neighbor 3 be about tho

[oblique parcel]

It’s a open world sandbox where you can influence events and interact with the people in raven brooks

And we know guest and the neighbor is returning

Partially Pieced together neighbor by fans

[heavy hound]

Would there be more info of the neighbors children like Aaron and Maya

[oblique parcel]

We already know what happened to mya

Aaron no idea though

[heavy hound]

There has to be something we're not seeing for Maya

[oblique parcel]

Anyways so far I love how hello neighbor 3 feels like hello neighbor but not fully you know? It feels like it’s something new and fresh at the same time

Basically how hello guest felt it was in the hello neighbor universe but it was something new

[heavy hound]

Yes I agree but we are getting new things for it like A hello neighbor movie in the works Apparently

But I do feel like tiny build is t telling us more about Maya's death like ik she died but something tells that something won't leave mr Peterson/the neighbor alone and he free from his past

[daring gyro]

It Is not five nights at freddy's
There are no haunting ghosts

[cunning yacht]

^^^

[opaque cosmos]

Lucy Yi has a ghost in Secret Neighbor but that’s not canon

[pine heron]

Yeah. It's a hard yet cool secret. Me and my friend managed to do it

[wintry zephyr]

Dude

She's dead

[woven lodge]

Or is she? 🧐

[untold grotto]

should they show a body?

a dead body

and so a little girl fell off the roof

her body may have been torn apart

[frigid kernel]

same artist...

[frigid kernel]

first maya died...then blender dies...horrible. truly horrible.

[daring gyro]

Cinema4D with a suspiciously knife shaped pocket:

[earnest cape]

I still hope soon we can get some idea of when the Game is gonna take place, though with everything we know it seems to be after everything in the Franchise mostly.

[oblique parcel]

I’m just confused if it’s even in the same exact continuity as hn2 for example

We will see eventually I guess

[earnest cape]

From a fall? She died from blunt force trauma.

[frosty gyro]

After the whole theo guest possession is my guess

[earnest cape]

Well since everything is canon it is but also isn’t.

[oblique parcel]

Yeah Nikita said hn2 is canon but not in the way we think like everything else

[earnest cape]

At this point I’d prefer it to be a Standalone that references and utilizes things from the Franchise.

I’d love to see The Cult return.

[frosty gyro]

A soft reboot

[oblique parcel]

Doubt it tbh

[earnest cape]

Kinda yeah.

[earnest cape]

Well it really depends if they’d have any value to the Story or not.

But I’d love to see them referenced throughout the Game and World.

Such as The Cult Statues.

[oblique parcel]

I hope they also build up the guest urban legend in the game as hn2 didn’t really properly do that

[earnest cape]

I’m not getting my hope too big with anything, knowing how it’s been in the past, they haven’t gotten anywhere close to them having even an Alpha build.

So I’d offer to just watch what happens.

[frosty gyro]

Hn2 didnt really do anything with guest

[earnest cape]

One thing I’d like is for a more Structured Story to where anyone who hasn’t played the Franchise can understand the Story and what’s going on in some way.

[oblique parcel]

Tbf it’s not like we even really understand what’s going on anymore lol

[earnest cape]

True.

[peak solar]

I don't know if HN3 has any plans to make a callback this obscure, but I remember seeing this video of someone (maybe Nikita) playing the original Neighbor's Theme on piano

only ever got used for Alpha 2's basement, and it wasn't really a motif after that

[oblique parcel]

Yeah that would be cool

[woven lodge]

Nicky can jump off the roof and be perfectly fine, and he is only a couple years older.

[heavy hound]

We know she's dead but there more that there not telling us

[untold grotto]

what would you like to know?

[oblique sigil]

what

dont remeber that

ohhhh

the alpha 2 basement

[peak solar]

yeah, it was this one

[fickle thicket]

Yo is that you

[peak solar]

no, it was (presumably) Nikita from 8/9 years ago

this was going to be the main theme of HN1 originally

I remember him saying recently that he forgot the notes to this

so hope someone transcribes it soon

[fickle thicket]

Oh well, I wonder what other instruments can Nikita play

Wait is there a YouTube video of this

[heavy hound]

Like if she was dead dead mr Peterson wouldn't have put missing posters of Aaron and Maya

[untold grotto]

But the townspeople don't know that she's dead

ted already puts up missing posters to give a reason for the children's sudden disappearance

[heavy hound]

True but when we play every single act they are in her mind like act 1-2-3-4-5 so maybe she did not fall because they are in an imaginary place like the previous acts

[untold grotto]

they were already on the roof they just weren't as high as they had imagined

[heavy hound]

Yeah in every other hello neighbor from the 1-4 alpha there isn't a place to fall like that to where she died we saw what the house looked like when they were alive there wasn't a big plank to where she died

[untold grotto]

i think Bad Blood had something to do with this

but dont remember rn

but she fell off the roof and died

[peak solar]

to be fair, she didn't exist yet

around Beta 3 was when the story got reworked to what we know now

[untold grotto]

weren't we Aaron in the beta story

like

we killed our sister

[heavy hound]

So she was born 1985 correct that's what we know

[untold grotto]

probably

[heavy hound]

She apparently died in 1984 when she wasn't even born yet so there is a big mystery

[untold grotto]

she didnt die in 1984

wdym

[heavy hound]

Search up when did she die it will tell you it really doesn't make sense

[untold grotto]

it says nothing

[untold grotto]

whos saying she died in 1984

[heavy hound]

Idk that's what I saw on Reddit

[untold grotto]

dont trust reddit

she died in 1995

[untold grotto]

i mean reddit is not a source website

[heavy hound]

And about the posters mr Peterson/ the neighbor was the one who put up the posters

[untold grotto]

random things people write and may be wrong

[untold grotto]

according to h&s she died in May 3rd, 1995

[heavy hound]

So she would be 11 years old

[untold grotto]

yea yea

[untold grotto]

its different on books btw

same year but different date

[heavy hound]

If you look at the poster it says age 11 years old

[untold grotto]

which poster

[heavy hound]

They have a poster showing Maya and Aaron and it shows the age of them

[untold grotto]

can you please show it

[untold grotto]

that one?

[heavy hound]

Yes

[soft gulch]

oh hey that's a slightly slower and more chaotic version of the alpha 3 intro music, i had never seen this

[untold grotto]

so what's the problem here?

[heavy hound]

It shows the age was last seen

[untold grotto]

yes

she born in 1984
died in 1995

11 yo

[heavy hound]

So her brother was 15 years old

[untold grotto]

no why

[heavy hound]

Well you see we se Aaron in hn2 still young

[untold grotto]

yea beacuse its 1996

[wintry zephyr]

Dayum the hell happened to Aaron
