[jade night]

[royal solar]

😭 and the fact none of you told me ??

jail

[frosty summit]

oooh nice

this is good enough for a prototype release lol

i kinda wanna play this

[bright rain]

stop giving us old/new leaks of what was going to be RBO!

[daring gyro]

feed me all the rbo

[frosty gyro]

Yep me need moreee

[simple dragon]

So amazing

[reef basin]

Guys, any new teasers today? Or info from Nikita?

[pine heron]

Not yet. It seems a bit early.

[untold grotto]

new teasers (or old?)

[safe raft]

Where did you get these?

[untold grotto]

twitter

[frosty gyro]

Twitter

[frosty gyro]

New

[sonic birch]

I’ve never seen them before

[oblique parcel]

It’s new

[jade night]

Huh???

[frosty gyro]

The car placement looks different

[safe raft]

Where on twitter?

[untold grotto]

hello neighbor games account

[lunar trail]

on twitter

smh

[untold grotto]

#social-feed

[safe raft]

oh

[jade night]

This looks so cool.

[safe raft]

it gives me the Hello Guest Vibes I like that

[night vigil]

How can a place be this comforting, yet eerie

[wintry zephyr]

Bro i just saw that post and didn't even realize it was new images

Looks fire

[junior thunder]

i would move there

[frosty gyro]

Because of the enviroment

[earnest cape]

I really love what the Team is doing with the lighting.

[night vigil]

Love the foliage

[frosty gyro]

This is also one of the reeeeally cool hand drawn (i think) screenshots

[earnest cape]

Mhm.

[night vigil]

Also, for some reason I love the cars. Couldn't tell you why, I guess they just look Hello neighbor like

[safe raft]

Seem like HN3 wont have the whacky houses thats odd imo

[tender stump]

OMG hn3 tweet

we are def getting that playtest soon

[foggy fable]

The fact that this is somehow a prototype

This looks to me like an alpha 4 atleast

[frosty gyro]

It looks like nickys car (fg) but better

[jade night]

For marketplace/fab foliage, it looks really nice and fits the artstyle.

[oblique parcel]

No it’s way earlier It’s like pre alpha ish or even earlier

[night vigil]

It certainly doesn't look like it, then again, here you can see the prototype side of things

[frosty gyro]

The new images are the 3d handdrawn ones right?

[night vigil]

think so

[jade night]

I can

see

[foggy fable]

Yeah

Hats off to the team, genuinely

[jade night]

the sign from rbo

[jade night]

Yeah

[night vigil]

true

[foggy fable]

They have captured what I believe defines raven brooks

An eerie, calm, mysterious yet charming town

[night vigil]

Hopefully it's bigger than HN2 Raven Brooks. Actually it doesn't even need to be bigger, but more things and stuff to discover would be awesome

[foggy fable]

Yeah

I'd like if it was like hg, where when you break the rules you can discover new things?

That didn't really make sense

[frosty gyro]

The prototype looks huuge for it only being like a block

[foggy fable]

Like, let's say you get past a boarded off area, you can discover a cool new area

[sonic birch]

I don’t want it to be too big, I don’t wanna have to spend ages just walking

[jade night]

🔥

[foggy fable]

Another teaser?

[jade night]

Nah

I made it

😔

[foggy fable]

No way

That's insane

That's extremely accurate

[untold grotto]

bro is the secret member of egs

[jade night]

so good

[untold grotto]

are you remaking rbo

[jade night]

I just made it for fun

[untold grotto]

wheres my prototype release date

[sly horizon]

I hope for next week

[untold grotto]

i think January 31st would be cool

on the 1st anniversary of RBO playtest

[sly horizon]

The sooner the better)

[frosty gyro]

i need news on devlog 2

[austere jasper]

Hello, I have news on devlog 2

It will drop today

[peak solar]

Does Hello Neighbor 3 has a Style Guide?

[austere jasper]

Alongside the new prototype

[peak solar]

or does it have no specific "rules"

[frosty gyro]

cap

[untold grotto]

all of tB and EGS online

[austere jasper]

Nuh Uh

You come here asking for devlog 2 news. I kindly give you the information I know

Then you have the nerve to say its cap

[peak solar]

I actually know why, I think

it isn't anything big though

[austere jasper]

I saw it in my Dreamm

[peak solar]

they probably just have meetings through discord

[untold grotto]

yes

some members of egs also work by communicating via discord

[frosty gyro]

[austere jasper]

More like a vision

Yep.

It's definitely gonna drop on a today

perhaps not today but maybe tomorrows today

[arctic pecan]

wait whats happing

[tepid ember]

Shit wrong chat

[austere jasper]

Nah dude, right chat

HN3 on switch2

Its gonna happen

calling it

[tepid ember]

Maybe hn1 can run at 60fps now

[tender stump]

they tweeted new hn3 images

[austere jasper]

https://x.com/NeighborGamesHQ/status/1879920664758702476/photo/1

Hello Neighbor Games (@NeighborGamesHQ) on X

Is it giving cozy and inviting or eerie and mysterious...? 🤔

#HelloNeighbor3

X · Jan 16, 2025, 3:56 PM

They did

[tender stump]

steam deck is miles better than any switch anyway

[austere jasper]

its more about the games

[tender stump]

you can just emulate them tho

[austere jasper]

nintendo makes very good games

[main dove]

Imagine if hn3 gets released for Nintendo switch 2?

[frigid kernel]

where's this from?

[untold grotto]

twitter

[frigid kernel]

uhhh
people still use that site?

TB moving to bsky WHEN 😭

how come it wasn't posted here though?

[bright rain]

Only a few images!😭

[wintry zephyr]

Yes and alot

And i don't recommend it

[bright rain]

Finally! more comments in the HN3 chat

[blissful river]

Let’s goooo

Looks so cool

[bright rain]

Hello

[shadow nebula]

hello

[bright rain]

Where is, what happened here.

[untold grotto]

not sure if these are from prototype or test locations

[blissful river]

I love that the ominous glowing windows are returning.

[blissful river]

Most likely all part of the prototype since it’s basically a big test map.

[earnest cape]

Probably test locations with drawn in stuff for concept art.

[earnest cape]

I like it, maybe in day time you can see inside the homes like HN2 but at night they glow.

[earnest cape]

I also think only some houses should have that effect if it stays.

To fit the whole “Half Abandoned Town”

[jade night]

I'm pretty sure every house is intended to be exploreable though lol.

[safe raft]

Im surprised no one tried to make there own HN3 Neighbor model yet

it would be cool to see

[earnest cape]

Don’t think there’s been anything saying that.

[earnest cape]

I’d like to see that.

One thing I think is for certain is Ted will have that same Block Body as every other character.

[jade night]

There has been one made by a friend lol.

[pastel basin]

#hn3-discussion message

[modest canopy]

I don't know why they put it in the gj acc

this teaser has already been posted🐟

[safe raft]

Do you have a image of it?

[earnest cape]

Well guess not, depends on what he meant.

[blissful river]

Most likely, doesn’t mean the yellow lights won’t be there though. Maybe only parts of the houses will be open to explore, or that is PH. Who knows 🤷‍♂️

[exotic pewter]

hi

[chrome solstice]

I think it's pretty obvious what he means by "everything is explorable" and "no decorations"

[earnest cape]

True.

[brave radish]

They finally are using their gj account again

[ionic spear]

i think

signed is aaron

[untold grotto]

bro

dont post random brainrots please 😭

[ionic spear]

it's just a guess

[untold grotto]

btw i didn't tell you

[ionic spear]

okay man

[worn stone]

When hn3 coming any hint or leak? Anyone have any idea..?

[ionic spear]

no leaks

[frosty gyro]

The prototype and a new devlog are releasing this month (hopefully)

[ionic spear]

but my idea: 2026

or

2027

[bitter meadow]

i think somewhere between 2026 we still dont know the new devlog is coming tho

[untold grotto]

their target was the late january

[cunning yacht]

I HOPE THE PROTOTYPE WILL REALESE SOON

[daring gyro]

It would be very funny If After all this hype they decide not to release it

Heck i wouldn't care
Last time It hurt the perception of the final game so much

[cunning yacht]

HELLO ENIGHBOR 2 WAS GOOD AND WORST BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PATCH 10

[untold grotto]

caps off & move on #1047329656401035284 or #hello-neighbor

[north sigil]

do we have an idea of when hn3 is coming out

[untold grotto]

for prototype probably (highly likely) this month

[north sigil]

full game?

[wintry zephyr]

2026-2028 most likely

[night vigil]

They posted the teasers on youtube too, that's cool

[untold grotto]

someone tell them to post another teaser(s)

apart from posting the same teaser on different platforms

[open plaza]

def not 2028

[untold grotto]

nikita filming devlog 2 rn trust frfr

[glacial ginkgo]

Yes, very good

[wintry zephyr]

Never say never

We're still super early in development

[open plaza]

i didnt say never

can u read

[wintry zephyr]

Wether it will release in 2028 or not will depend on how much the development process will last

[open plaza]

omegalul

[wintry zephyr]

Ok bro idc you still understoo what i said

[open plaza]

not like its a AAA game

[glacial ginkgo]

Prototype is coming?

[frosty gyro]

Nikita wants it

[untold grotto]

basically tinybuild decided to release a playtest for hn3

and verrrry highly likely its the prototype

[glacial ginkgo]

Ok

It's sad that I won't be able to play RBO, I liked it but I didn't have time to play it.

[wintry zephyr]

Bro It doesn't matter

Game developing takes time

We don't know when it will release and don't expect it to be soon

[austere jasper]

They dropping teasers frequently

They mentioned a prototype coming this month last year

Something soon maybe? IDK

It'd be nice to hear more information

[frosty gyro]

i think your forgetting that hn3 has been in development for more than a year

[austere jasper]

I havent forgotten that but IDK what you mean

[frosty gyro]

(i was replying to loafkat)

[austere jasper]

✅

Sure its been in development for over a year now, but the game evolved so much. They only made it single-player in late 2024.
But what they've shown off is awesome I do think that it can drop this month

The prototype

[untold grotto]

hn3's devolopment start on 2023 March/April

[wintry zephyr]

Yes but it has been changed and transformed now, we don't know how much content from RBO will be reused to HN3

Also we don't know how much content HN3 will have in general

HN1 and HN2 have been in development 3-4 years, what stops the same from happening with HN3?

Maximum date for HN3 is 2028, minimum is 2026

[open plaza]

its DEF not 2028 cuz it has been in dev for ages now, so maybe early 2026-2027

assuming it has ~same amount of content as hn2

[wintry zephyr]

I wouldn't say 1 year is "ages"

[frosty gyro]

2 almost

[wintry zephyr]

It obviously doesn't lol

HN2 barely had content

[earnest cape]

In development yes but the Team is still on the Prototype.

[wintry zephyr]

This is true also

It's still in prototype

[open plaza]

super mega bait

[wintry zephyr]

Bro got early acess

[earnest cape]

They haven’t even scathed a bit of Development yet as during that time the focus has changed completely and they now know what they are trying to make, it’s going to be a long while till we get close to near Launch when even a Early Alpha hasn’t been made.

[wintry zephyr]

Fr

HN3 won't come soon ya'll

Just accept it

[open plaza]

everybody here knows

[wintry zephyr]

And honestly

[open plaza]

[wintry zephyr]

Idc how much time it takes aslong as it is good

[wintry zephyr]

Erm doesn't seem like it

[open plaza]

who doesnt

[open plaza]

3rd time's the charm?

surely

[earnest cape]

I’d say 2026 is the least it could be, Late 2027 to Early 2028 is the most fair assumption, for an Indie Game, that also assuming everything goes right and TB doesn’t tamper with anything, and knowing TB I hope that doesn’t happen.

[wintry zephyr]

What if i said HN3 is going to release in 2031

[open plaza]

well that would be lying

[earnest cape]

Agreed, take as much time as needed.

[open plaza]

no game takes that long

[earnest cape]

Ok you’re pushing it now.

[wintry zephyr]

That's literally just 4 years dude

[open plaza]

everything goes right and TB doesn’t tamper with anything

[open plaza]

6

[wintry zephyr]

And GUESS HOW MANY YEAR HN2 TOOK???

YE

[open plaza]

sure buddy

[wintry zephyr]

4 years

[open plaza]

dude can u count

2031-2025=6

[earnest cape]

3 years, it’s started Late 2019.

[wintry zephyr]

Bruh you know i was joking right 💀

[wintry zephyr]

I am counting HG aswell

Which would be 4 years

[open plaza]

cant interpret ur words as a joke cuz they look serious

[open plaza]

enough for me to believe thats not a joke

[meager badge]

HN2 in the question

[wintry zephyr]

That's called being gullible

[earnest cape]

Right but that’s because of TB.

[wintry zephyr]

True

[earnest cape]

Tampering.

[wintry zephyr]

Still though

[earnest cape]

As long as TB doesn’t intrude too much I think it won’t be a crazy amount of time.

[open plaza]

can u tell if the person is joking over the internet when they have a serious enough conversation?

[wintry zephyr]

4 years would be the maximum that HN3 will take

[open plaza]

if so youre a superhero

anyway moving on to hn3

[meager badge]

Would rather have a good game that takes a few years than a game that releases quickly and is horrible

[wintry zephyr]

Idc bro

[untold grotto]

bro what the hell is hn3

[wintry zephyr]

It was very obviously a joke lol

[wintry zephyr]

Hello Neighbor 3 is a Stealth Horror Game about sneaking into your neighbor's house and figuring out what he's hiding in the basement. Play against an advanced AI that learns from your actions.

[untold grotto]

@grandeturist🅾️ prototype release date when

[wintry zephyr]

2031 bruh

He told me

[night vigil]

Funny enough, that actually isn't what HN3 is about at all

[untold grotto]

peak

[wintry zephyr]

Even funnier is how ya'll can't get jokes bro

3 people fell already 💀

Im unserious most of the time bro 😭

[untold grotto]

its hn1 but hn3 😈

[wintry zephyr]

Yep

[night vigil]

Oh no I did, just saying that this is not what HN is anymore

[untold grotto]

what if hn1 is hn3's prototype

[night vigil]

no wayyyyyy

[wintry zephyr]

Actually that is technically what hello neighbor is about

[bitter meadow]

in hello neighbor 3 you have to sneak into people's houses and something also the ai is gud

[wintry zephyr]

What is hello neighbor 3

[night vigil]

Well yeah, but it's COOLER

[wintry zephyr]

Hello Neighbor 3 is a Stealth Horror Game about sneaking into your neighbor's house and figuring out what he's hiding in the basement. Play against an advanced AI that learns from your actions.

[untold grotto]

in hello neighbor 3 you'll play as a guy who makes stupid decisions

[wintry zephyr]

Do you know what HN3 is about?

[wintry zephyr]

Quentin

[night vigil]

Hello Neighbor 3 is a Stealth Horror Game about sneaking into your neighbor's house and figuring out what he's hiding in the basement. Play against an advanced AI that learns from your actions.

[untold grotto]

this game made by scottgames and published by dynamic guests studio

[frosty gyro]

❌ its about gathering evidence and fighting a neural network ai while investigating aaron and mya

[wintry zephyr]

Neural network you say?

[frosty gyro]

yuo

[earnest cape]

Really? I thought Hello Neighbor 3 was the game where you play Multiplayer and try and get into the Basement while someone is secretly the Neighbor?

[untold grotto]

loafKat is powered by neural network

[wintry zephyr]

Man, can't believe scott came back from his retirement to work on HN3

[untold grotto]

its a co-op game btw

its atari exculisive

[wintry zephyr]

Kryptqn has an advanced AI that learns from your actions

[wintry zephyr]

No that's HN2

[untold grotto]

source: trust me bro

[frosty gyro]

eww ai

[night vigil]

The flying eyes are hilariously stupid ||(I hate AI slop)||

[untold grotto]

why the hell is blender is on left top

[frosty gyro]

blender is the reason

[night vigil]

Isn't that the AI sort of faking it's "source" by doing that? Or does Blender have some AI thingy going on

[untold grotto]

really dont know

[night vigil]

Weird

[untold grotto]

i stole it from a random server

like 2 days ago ig

[foggy fable]

Mayak looks odd

[night vigil]

Oh okay maybe someone told the Ai to put "Blender" in the top left of the image, for some reason

[untold grotto]

i don't think Ai would did this

[night vigil]

No, isn't that what the AI image stuff can do?

[untold grotto]

lemme try it

[untold grotto]

yea yea it works

also @wintry zephyr 😈

[night vigil]

Oh shoot

well that's worrying

[untold grotto]

i'll try something like that too

[foggy fable]

Unreal engine image is actually flawless

If it wasn't for ais wavy lines, I wouldnt be able to tell the difference

[night vigil]

The Toast is strarring right into my soul

[fading wave]

Blender dosent have ai tools

[night vigil]

Thank god

[west smelt]

[untold grotto]

hello, we have #spanish-chat

[nova lark]

Will HN3 be on the Switch 2

[oblique parcel]

I hope if it end up being on switch 2 I hope it doesn’t affect it badly in terms of development

[mighty orchid]

HN3 should just be up to date on whatever platform it’s on mainly other than pc. Console players wait extended periods of time but then the switch players never got the updates they were promised for hn2 so hopefully it’s fair for everyone if it’s on consoles at all.

[open plaza]

oh it would

[oblique parcel]

Well than I honestly hope not

[blissful zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AHCfZTRGiI
this song kind of makes me think of ted in hn3

being an older man who's lost everything

[earnest cape]

I think best thing to do would be to focus on getting it on more optimized Consoles like Xbox Series S|X and PS5 then some time after launch work to port it to Switch 2 as optimized as possible.

And also port it to Old Gen Consoles too if possible.

[foggy fable]

I feel like porting hn3 to switch could be possible

I've heard the switch 2 is pretty powerful

[frosty gyro]

I think its like ps4 pro or something

[foggy fable]

But it would need to be changed alot for it to work I'd say

[plain sierra]

guys will hn3 be out on ps5 or series x/s? i dont know what to buy

[foggy fable]

Yeah smth like that

So I'd say it's possible

[lunar trail]

it's not clear yet since HN3 is still in very early development

[fervent arch]

who agrees that the alphas are better than the actual games?

[foggy fable]

But they shouldn't be pressured into porting it to switch 2 either

[lunar trail]

bro came to HN3 discussion to discuss alpha's

[foggy fable]

They need to focus all their energy into the main game atm

[earnest cape]

For HN1 I’d agree, HN2 just no.

I could see if you’re talking AI for HN2 but other than that then no.

[blissful river]

The HN2 old art style is full of placeholders, which makes it much worse then the full game style, but the idea and concept is much better.

[earnest cape]

The HN2 Alpha concept is basically what they did for HN2 FG just simplified it a ton.

[fervent arch]

The reason i prefer the alphas i cause i feel like the are style is more i guess scarier

[blissful river]

No.

[earnest cape]

I mean that’s just one aspect though.

[fervent arch]

might also be nostalgia tho

[earnest cape]

Can see that.

[earnest cape]

I meant what they were going for, they wanted an Open Space world where you could explore and had to go around Town to get what you needed, that’s basically the Alphas, the FG tweaked that but still kept the core idea there.

[untold grotto]

lets be honest, old artstyle was ugly

[fervent arch]

nah

[earnest cape]

But all together the Alphas are not better than the Full Release.

[earnest cape]

I might have to agree with you there, it was not that great, FG style is much better to me.

Don’t get me started on how ugly the UI looked.

[fervent arch]

the reason why i prefer pre-alpha and alpha 1 more is cause i prefer games that dont give you really directions and more let you explore and try figuring the game out

[earnest cape]

I disgusted the scribble UI.

[earnest cape]

Right, I can agree with that, but at the same time that’s really bad for a FG.

You need some sense of direction for a Full Release game if you want it to feel full.

[oblique parcel]

I hope hn3 gives you directions but not so much that it takes away from the fun of the game

[earnest cape]

Agreed, what I want is for it to give you the goal of the Game and then leaves you to try and achieve it.

[blissful river]

Sure I see that. I’m mostly referring to the Art Style. It’s nothing like the alphas in the full game.

[oblique parcel]

Yes I don’t like games that hold your hand throughout the entire game full on

[fervent arch]

the other reason for my opinion of alpha 1 and pre-alpha being better i cause it feels weird like here me out. A creepy neighbor whos house is a weird as him you dont know what hes hiding and you wanna find out

[untold grotto]

or the player determines the goal of the game himself

[blissful river]

Yes.

[earnest cape]

Oh I get what you mean, yeah when I see the artstyle side by side the FG looks so much better to me.

[oblique parcel]

Honestly yeah

[untold grotto]

fg have same concept tho

[earnest cape]

That could work but make it a bit clustered, like “What am I trying to do here?” Not everyone can figure that out by themselves.

[untold grotto]

you're a kid who sneak into creepy neighbors house

[fervent arch]

yeah but i more mean in the alphas his house is way weirder

like he literally has a damn roller coaster

[oblique parcel]

I don’t quite like the direction hn1 went in but it’s in the past now

[fervent arch]

and a shark

[untold grotto]

he have them

on fg

too

[fervent arch]

and just way more mystery

[oblique parcel]

I just want to focus on hn3 now rather than looking at the past

[earnest cape]

This looks way better than the Alpha artstyle:

[mighty orchid]

Which alpha

[untold grotto]

nvm

[earnest cape]

HN1 for me was a big disappointment.

[simple dragon]

the lighting couldve been so much better ngl

[fervent arch]

to me i think its preference more no offence to me alpha 2 and the full games jsut look like a pixar animation

when i prefer more scary art style

[earnest cape]

Wdym.

[earnest cape]

Fair it really is preference.

[simple dragon]

they couldve done better with the lighting

[earnest cape]

It looks fine…

[mighty orchid]

Hn2 alpha or first game?

[simple dragon]

ive seen alot better from fan made games

[earnest cape]

HN2 Alpha.

[earnest cape]

If you think so.

[fervent arch]

but i have to agree when it comes down to story i would way prefer the full games

[earnest cape]

Story makes zero sense from a first person view but when you think about it, makes more sense.

[oblique parcel]

I know I said this a thousand times but I hope they focus on stealth and the ai in hn3 so much

[earnest cape]

Please, I BEG for good Stealth Focus.

That’s the one thing that hooked me to HN.

[oblique parcel]

I don’t want it to just be where you just take items and bust in and throw it at ais where your basically fighting them instead of sneaking around them

[earnest cape]

That’s why HN2 is my favorite Game in the franchise it did Stealth super well and kept it optional for that Sandbox world.

[earnest cape]

Mhm.

[daring gyro]

I feel like It should not be that but also the opposite end Is hn2 limiting almost every item to being static

[earnest cape]

Also why I didn’t like HN1 because it just focused on Sandbox craziness and barely was Stealth.

[oblique parcel]

Yeah I do hope there’s a balance but a bit more towards the stealth side

[earnest cape]

I preferred it that way but also see why people don’t like it, they have to try and balance it out.

[blissful river]

I can admit that this looks nice. But in my opinion i prefer old art better. That’s all 🙂

[oblique parcel]

I like both idk I can’t really chose

[fervent arch]

to me if they stayed with the same alpha art style but modernized it up a bit i would have loved the full games way more

[earnest cape]

I don’t hate it, I just don’t prefer it, but I see why people do.

[mighty orchid]

Stealth should be the main way but having a sandbox like the first game not second game gives you the option to ignore stealth with its own consequences

[daring gyro]

I hate hello neighbor 2🔥 hello guest Power hello guest Power

[fervent arch]

and i also feel like the alphas have a way different feeling while playing then the full games

[earnest cape]

EXACTLY.

That’s an issue with HN2 the Chase parts of the AI was so terrible that it basically didn’t have any consequences for not being Stealthy, but in the Forest The Guest kinda fixes that but only him.

[blissful river]

Yes true.

[untold grotto]

happy bday

[blissful river]

Full game feels like a set order of things you HAVE to do, while in the alphas you can do whatever you want really.

[earnest cape]

If you get stuck in the middle of The Forest the only way you can get around and back to somewhere safe is by being Stealthy, if your not then your gonna get caught like every 5 seconds.

[fervent arch]

i also feel like the alphas had a more realistic feel to it and by realistic i mean setting

[oblique parcel]

I prefer the approach that you can do whatever you want but there has to be some sort of limitations

So that it’s not exactly like hn1

[blissful river]

But the alphas still are just too unfinished to be better than the FG. Atmosphere wise they are.

“In my opinion”

[earnest cape]

Agreed.

[blissful river]

At least we got HN3 to look forward to. 🔥

[frosty gyro]

Agreed

[pastel basin]

doesnt the prototype release like

this week

[frosty gyro]

No?

[blissful river]

🤷

[pastel basin]

the steam name changed to playtest

[earnest cape]

But HN3 has the capability of being THE best Stealth of the Franchise taking in how the Town is now the sandbox world Stealth would be necessary anywhere around Town and could be very well done.

[blissful river]

That doesn’t confirm a date tho.

[pastel basin]

confirms its soon tho

[blissful river]

Yea

[fervent arch]

the first time i ever played alpha 1 of hello neighbor i was like way younger new to gaming and all that it changed my life and i feel like the alphas have a bigger impact on people who have played the alphas than the full games

[simple dragon]

atleast it proves were getting it 🤑🤑

[earnest cape]

Now it’s not just the Homes you have to be Stealthy everywhere you would tube to be careful, if that’s what they aim for in Stealthy that is.

[blissful river]

I want to explore this so badly ngl.

[earnest cape]

Nikita said that it’s too early to talk Stealth but that it’s still the sense where you have to be sneaky.

[pastel basin]

sad that these are just concepts

[oblique parcel]

Also I hope the guest is a everlasting looming presence in the open world but more aggressive at night maybe

[blissful river]

?? That’s the current prototype map.

[oblique parcel]

No

[pastel basin]

no

[blissful river]

So it will be in the prototype.

[simple dragon]

nope

its a concept map

[pastel basin]

nikita has said countless times those are 3d concepts

[earnest cape]

Like I said give him the treatment the Ink Demon had in Bendy, make him something that randomly appears and can’t fight back against that’s how I’d say he’d work best.

But it’s all on the Team and what they do.

[fervent arch]

and the biggest reason in my opinion the alphas are better is cause of the house it self like there trying to portrate a mysterious psycho man whos house is huge in the alphas but in HN2 its just a normal house

[blissful river]

Then what the flip are we going to even be playing in the prototype. Something unseen?

[pastel basin]

we've already seen the prototype

[simple dragon]

we got a view images of the prototype map

[pastel basin]

images

[mighty orchid]

So it’s just exterior buildings?

[blissful river]

? Any screenshots?

[untold grotto]

aren't you the one who loves realism?

[frosty gyro]

Thats honestly pretty sick

[simple dragon]

someone send the prototype map images

[blissful river]

This?

[simple dragon]

this is one

[fervent arch]

yeah but still with that part of mystery and imagination

[frosty gyro]

No embeds grrr

[pastel basin]

#hn3-discussion message

[simple dragon]

yeah

this is the map we are getting i think

[blissful river]

Dang 😔

[frosty gyro]

Old town.

[untold grotto]

i mean, what's the realism of seeing that kind of alphas house on the street?

[oblique parcel]

Remember It’s just a prototype

It’s not even in alpha stage yet

[mighty orchid]

I’m sure there will be something in whatever build people get to play but I’m guessing by what was said whenever those images where shared they were not finished inside

[earnest cape]

Just what I’d like, it’s all up to the Team.

[blissful river]

Well my hopes just died down.

[untold grotto]

they just test location

[oblique parcel]

Your having too high expectations of a very bare bones prototype

It’s just the foundation they will eventually build onto

[fervent arch]

cause actions speak louder than words while in the alphas u can see that this man is struggleing mentally but in the real full games hes not even the main attraction anymore

[simple dragon]

later on in development will probably look even better than those images

[fervent arch]

like this man is the face of the franchise and we dont even see him that much anymore

[blissful river]

This whole time I thought all these locations were in one map. Guess I was thinking to highly about this.

[pastel basin]

nikita is online

prototype soon 🙏

[untold grotto]

you want a map that can be larger than the hn2 map in the hn3 prototype hmmm

[blissful river]

So this must also be a test map then.

And not the prototype.

[pastel basin]

we dont know

but maybe

[frosty gyro]

These look like the 3d painted concept arts

[blissful river]

?? No?

[earnest cape]

Most likely is.

[untold grotto]

very highly test location

[simple dragon]

i think this is also the concept map

[oblique parcel]

The prototype is simply to test the game loop and the core foundation

Tbh so it makes sense it won’t look super cool

[earnest cape]

Nikita said they are focusing on having the game be a Small Map with Detail.

[blissful river]

Yeah.

[earnest cape]

Don’t know if that’s what the Prototype will be like

[oblique parcel]

He said that it might become bigger if they can fit it with a bigger map tbf

Like the gameplay loop

[untold grotto]

they prefer a small but interactive map to a large but less interactive map

[earnest cape]

Basically like HN2s Map but I hope not THAT small to where you can see every Location all the time.

[oblique parcel]

Yeah i really hope it’s not that small

[frosty gyro]

I wonder how much of devlog 2 is done

[blissful river]

Every time I get excited for a map now days it gets scrapped.

[simple dragon]

which is amazing

[earnest cape]

I hope for like 4x the size.

[untold grotto]

probably its filmed, they editing rn

[earnest cape]

That’s decent.

[mighty orchid]

Yea maybe one day we’ll get that explore able raven brooks

[untold grotto]

nikita hasn't been online for almost 2 days

[frosty gyro]

Fully interactive

[simple dragon]

maps in the future will probably look ALOT better than that map
that map is to concept what it may look like in the future so dont loose all your hope lol

[earnest cape]

He hasn’t said much at all, last he messaged he was talking about the Switch 2.

[pastel basin]

he usually goes offline when hes doing the devlogs

[oblique parcel]

He’s probably busy with hn3 and the devlog

[earnest cape]

Which is good sign as Development and stuff must be going well and focused.

[earnest cape]

Mhm.

[untold grotto]

with devlogs

[blissful river]

Yeah. I guess I just really like the foliage and art style a lot right now and was expecting to play these locations.

[untold grotto]

while they making hn3 egs uses discord for communication

[simple dragon]

imo the prototype map looks just as good

[untold grotto]

for members working from home

[simple dragon]

i love old town

[blissful river]

Not a big fan of the lighting though.

I like the concepts better ig,

[oblique parcel]

Also almost if none of these assets is finalized yet it’s just unfinished assets and placeholder

[untold grotto]

yea because its a prototype

[frosty gyro]

🤯

[mighty orchid]

I think it was said somewhere correct me if I’m wrong but it’s just placeholder mostly

[blissful river]

🐦‍⬛

[simple dragon]

i mean you cant complain its a prototype there doing so much cool stuff for the visuals and its only a prototype

[blissful river]

Yeah.

[oblique parcel]

There’s no reason for them to focus on visuals yet

[simple dragon]

yup

[blissful river]

Sorry y’all just had a big realization, I’ll be fine later lol.

[untold grotto]

i wonder what hurricanes will look like

[mighty orchid]

Is that a thing?

[untold grotto]

nikita said rbo storms/hurricanes will stay

but implemented differently

[frosty gyro]

Probably what caused rb to be ruined

[mighty orchid]

I really hope that’s the case. Any sort of storm in HN would be so cool.

I mean in gameplay not hn2 dream

[untold grotto]

cant wait for neighbor reveal too

scar reveal

[simple dragon]

I hope the night time looks like how it did in RBO ❤️

[frosty gyro]

Devlog 2 hopefully

[earnest cape]

Perfect lighting for nighttime

[untold grotto]

@grandeturist⭕ come to chat plz

[pastel basin]

devlog 2 is done i think

with filming atleast

[untold grotto]

most likely the shooting has finished, it is in the editing phase

[mighty orchid]

Isn’t hn3 going to be “unfiltered HN” or something along those lines? So what does that mean exactly

[pastel basin]

which shouldnt take long

[blissful river]

Probably not 😔

[daring gyro]

insane

[untold grotto]

yeah then tinybuild will release it on the right date

[frosty gyro]

Jan 26 is release date

[untold grotto]

probably next week, it cant tomorrow probably

[oblique parcel]

I’m gonna test the hell out of that prototype lol if we get it

[frosty gyro]

Find infinite bugs guestyyy

[untold grotto]

hn3 feedback
hn3 bug - reports

[frosty gyro]

Happening on feb

[mighty orchid]

Someone will find a goofy bug that’ll get memed to death

[pastel basin]

nope

[simple dragon]

Its crazy how much egs has improved

[untold grotto]

can't wait to face the rbo freak

[earnest cape]

Perfect, they should make that right after the Prototype release to get ahead on feedback and bugs.

[oblique parcel]

Yeah

[untold grotto]

there was for rbo

rbo lfg
rbo feedback
rbo bugreports

[mighty orchid]

That would be perfect though

[oblique parcel]

Also the game designer linked a good video on how to provide good feedback

[earnest cape]

hn3 prototype
feedback and bug-reports

[earnest cape]

True.

[frosty gyro]

I watch most of his content now its really great

[untold grotto]

i can't believe it's been a year since the RBO was announced

[oblique parcel]

Basically according to the video we should focus on

1 providing what we want rather than what we don’t like as it’s much easier for the developers to gather what players truly want

2 if we want to give negative feedback we must provide proper details on what’s not good rather than just say this sucks

[mighty orchid]

Yea this time last year people were excited for patch 10

[blissful river]

This is also current prototype right?

[oblique parcel]

Yes

[blissful river]

That’s good.

[earnest cape]

Man I love the foliage so much, a perfect mix between realism and cartoony.

[wintry zephyr]

Bro the neighbor has been in literally every HN game so far wdym

He has more than enough appearences

But y'know who needs to appear more?

Yeah that's right, THE GUEST

They took his Spotlight away

[blissful river]

yeesssss

im glad this is in the prototype

I take back what I said

this looks as good as it needs to be for a prototoype

[jade night]

?

Illuminated Area

why does it need to check that lol

[pastel basin]

also like

this prototype map looks pretty big

[blissful river]

who knows lol

[blissful river]

yea

[pastel basin]

for a prototype

[jade night]

The Guest AI

Trust

[earnest cape]

Possibly for Character vision, if you’re not illuminated they can’t see you.

Like in the dark.

[pastel basin]

like you can see a big trail in the back of this area

[jade night]

True

[blissful river]

yes

[daring gyro]

In hn2 they checked for illuminated areas for guest lurk in dark

Could It be

[jade night]

Yeah

[pastel basin]

burp

[jade night]

The Guest is probably always in the map even in the day

[earnest cape]

Also anyone noticed how the GAAP in the distance is back!!!

If you look on the top right.

[jade night]

yeah

people noticed when the images first dropped

[wintry zephyr]

I Hope gaap ends up returning as an actual location

[earnest cape]

Glad it’s back, didn’t like how it was gone in HN2.

[earnest cape]

Same.

[wintry zephyr]

Same

[earnest cape]

It might, based on the Image it seems smaller than like in HN2 and seems close by.

But that’s just assuming for the Prototype.

[wintry zephyr]

Mayak may return aswell

In the FG of course

For now gaap is probably just a background thing

[gusty sun]

what is gaap?

is there something i missed?

[pastel basin]

question is the new area from the hng twitter those 3d concept maps?

[untold grotto]

golden apple amusement park

[gusty sun]

ohh

[wintry zephyr]

Golden Apple Amusement Park

[gusty sun]

i know he told me

[wintry zephyr]

Golden Apple Amusement Park

[untold grotto]

golden apple amusement park

[gusty sun]

guldn apl

[wintry zephyr]

Golden Apple Amusement Park

[wintry zephyr]

Golden Apple Amusement Park

[wintry zephyr]

Golden Apple Amusement Park

[gusty sun]

i knuw i playd halo gust

[earnest cape]

Maybe.

[earnest cape]

Bad grammar.

[wintry zephyr]

Halo gust

[gusty sun]

on purpose

[slender basin]

Guys just a reminder that we should keep this channel focused on HN3, to talk about other games please use their channels. If we don't, it will be difficult for our devs to answer your questions.

[cunning yacht]

Prototype out yet?

[cunning yacht]

Why did u guys remove HN2 chat

[untold grotto]

there was never hn2 chat

#hello-neighbor was always hn2 chat

[untold grotto]

and no

[cunning yacht]

There was

There was hello neighbor chat, and a hello neighbor 2 chat

[untold grotto]

no

there was hello neighbor chat and with spoilers chat

[cunning yacht]

And u guys made hello neighbor 2 into hello neighbor 3 chat

[untold grotto]

spoilers chat r.i.p

[untold grotto]

nope

its a new channel

[cunning yacht]

Bruh

[violet zephyr]

that was the old hello neighbor server

that one had a hello neighbor 2 chat

[untold grotto]

yea actually this server never have hn2 chat

[earnest cape]

Didn’t exist

[nova lark]

Are Iris and Jacob siblings, friends, or girlfriend and boyfriend?

[wintry zephyr]

Dude we don't know

We know like

Almost 0 things about the story of the game

[nova lark]

Eh at least the prototype might give some hints

I wanna see neighbor man in the prototype

[nova lark]

We play as alpha man in HN3 /j

Now he is HN3 man

[wintry zephyr]

The pronto will have a placeholder story so we still will have 0 idea what the final story will be like

It may show the direction they're going for the game though

[wintry zephyr]

Prototype will have 3 NPCs

Which are Jacob, iris and signed

[nova lark]

Aw no Neighbor or Guest yet

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah

[nova lark]

Just so we know the Guest will be the main antagonist in this game right?

[wintry zephyr]

Probably in the later alphas we'll see them

[wintry zephyr]

We don't know

But he will probably have his Spotlight

[nova lark]

It’s most likely gonna be the Guest or the Signed

[wintry zephyr]

Nah

Signed is just a vandal

He's a regular NPC

Fun fact: Nikita said the guest wasn't exactly the main antagonist for the HN2 alphas

Which is probably confirmation that the forest protectors we're always meant to be the big bad

[shrewd jay]

I think HN3 will come out in 2027

Because HN1 was maded in 2014 with its prototype and launch in 2017

HN3 have been working since Early 2024

[wintry zephyr]

Prototype was never launched

[shrewd jay]

How was the first version called?

[wintry zephyr]

The first public alpha was pre-alpha and it launched in 2016

[shrewd jay]

I was talking about this Version:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HypO5aZmKk

realesed in 2014

[earnest cape]

If we have an Announcement Trailer for HN3 I don’t want some sort of Gameplay, I’d rather have some short cinematic, Sonic Unleashed is a good example, it doesn’t show much but shows you exactly what to expect from the Game: https://youtu.be/9yzzrjCBIIw?si=2AeD0ltqHGTIZGml

[shrewd jay]

ok

[blissful river]

Peak

[arctic pecan]

#off-topic

[blissful river]

No? That was about HN3

[arctic pecan]

thats sonic

[brave flame]

Not sure I’d say “released” in 2014 but ik what you mean lol

[blissful river]

Read the message bro

[arctic pecan]

hn2 tmr when

[blissful river]

Never

[arctic pecan]

NOOOO

https://tenor.com/view/skull-issues-gif-12650825103867367926

[wintry zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/embed-perms-no-image-perms-epic-embed-fail-laughing-emoji-gif-25041403

[arctic pecan]

there we go

me happy

[earnest cape]

Fr I think HN3 deserves a similar style of Trailer for an Announcement Trailer.

[sonic aurora]

🤔 Hmm the graphic..

[blissful river]

Yea

It’s good

[foggy plaza]

Why couldn’t they have kept this lighting

[blissful river]

Looks like low graphics.

[pastel basin]

maybe because hn3 is a different map

[blissful river]

It’s not totally scrapped

[pastel basin]

and a different game

[blissful river]

They just are experimenting

[sonic aurora]

Yeah. Tho I'm no big fan of the low graphics. Just sayin

[pastel basin]

and its a prototype

[blissful river]

I love the foliage so much

[sonic aurora]

Btw how do you guys get the these leak pics? That much?

[blissful river]

Huh?

These are teasers

[foggy plaza]

The old looks so pretty

The new one is cool tho

[blissful river]

And we just have them saved.

[foggy plaza]

But the difference

[sonic aurora]

Oh. Well they just seem like they leak pics. Or something

[pastel basin]

dude what do you expect

[blissful river]

Again they are testing different types of lighting

Doesn’t mean anything is scrapped

Or final

[foggy plaza]

Ig that’s true

[blissful river]

Yes

[wintry zephyr]

All of these teasers we're posted by the devs

It's not leaks

[blissful river]

The word leak has become a common phrase to describe any picture posted by devs of a game for some reason.

lol

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah and it's a bit annoying to me

[blissful river]

Yea

[sonic aurora]

Oh okay. Got it

[wintry zephyr]

I blame fnf for it

[blissful river]

lol

The peak

[icy breach]

What if the neighbor’s ai is more keen like the parents in “SchoolBoy Runaway”: where the neighbor can know if you’re in the house through the smallest, but still noticeable, changes? For example if a light is on or some doors are open, but the neighbor closed it. In HN1 I don’t think he cares if something in his house is moved, only if the player is right there.

But this is just a thought…

[wintry zephyr]

That would be a cool mechanic ngl

[icy breach]

Yeah, that game is hard. And it would be more fun if HN3 was like that except breaking into Peterson’s house

[wintry zephyr]

The thing is, that means they would also have to add a mechanic where you can put stuff back aswell

[icy breach]

Like leaving things the way I was before you tampered with it?

[wintry zephyr]

Yes, schoolboy has that

[icy breach]

Schoolboy’s mechanic will definitely suit Hello Neighbor

[restive oxide]

Its not tho

It's been so long since the last HN3 gameplay teaser 😭

[wintry zephyr]

Fun fact: schoolboy's mechanic comes from another game created by the same devs called metel

It was released a few years ago i think

[fiery scarab]

there was another game that was the same thing but i forgot the name

i think they're all built off eachother

[tender stump]

i actually like this a lot better, the nighttime looks a lot more realistic

the pure darkness combined with the yellow street lights makes it feel so much like i've been there before

[lean warren]

I have an idea! I hope that RBO, that is, Hello Neighbor 3 Online, will be made as a paid DLS! After all, a less good experience will be better than no experience at all! who agrees:👍

[untold grotto]

what?

wdym paid dls

[errant pewter]

I think they mean paid dlc

I dunno though, more paid content? Mmmmehhh

I feel like paying for the game alone should be enough especially after the paid nightmare that HN2 is

[untold grotto]

the current concept of hn3 is not compatible with multiplayer

[oblique parcel]

I hope there’s nothing online related added personally dlc or not

[untold grotto]

and I don't think they'll go to that much trouble just for a dlc

[errant pewter]

yeahh, they did mention RBO though so I suppose they meant the playtest specifically as a multiplayer thing

which I suppose could be neat but at this point?

Ain't happening

besides I'm sure someone will make a multiplayer mod anyway, eventually

[frigid kernel]

yeah, c is s in russian

[deep kite]

guys

do we know anything about the release date of HN3?

[tender stump]

nah

but a good guess would be december 2027

[deep kite]

in steam says coming 2025

[tender stump]

it was 5 years between HN1 and HN2. another 5 years after HN2 would be december 2027 which makes sense given the development timeline of hn3

[tender stump]

it does not

[oblique parcel]

I actually like the more realistic approach of the world and landscape artstyle this time

It’s nice to get something different

[nimble walrus]

It would be a nightmare for console players

Since you have to pay for Playstation Plus/Xbox Core just to play paid online games

[shadow nebula]

hn1 10th anniversary?

[icy breach]

Like some sort of Schoolboy Cinematic Universe

[wintry zephyr]

Joker show?

Yeah

These games have the same mechanic of putting back stuff

[earnest cape]

Why would I have to pay to access an online mode?

I want HN3 to just be the Game, no deluxe edition no DLCs, just have the game itself.

But that depends what TB decides.

[ionic spear]

awwwww man! this very good

[pastel basin]

question

are the new images with the new area from the hng twitter in the prototype?

or is it one of the concept maps

[untold grotto]

ermm

asking the same question once was enough

[pastel basin]

i need 2 know,,,,

well i prolly shouldnt

[untold grotto]

and he is not online rn, ask it while he's online

[pastel basin]

the proto comes this month anywah

[pastel basin]

he was online

[maiden hornet]

awesome

hope its very soon

[pastel basin]

yea

[maiden hornet]

even if it isnt im still very exited and happy we're getting something playable this early on after the announcement

[pastel basin]

well hopefully nikita can get one out this month

even if not we'll still get devlog 2

which should be soon

[maiden hornet]

i think the prototype should happen very soon after devlog 2 if not at the same time

[pastel basin]

yeah it probably will

i wonder if devlog 2 is nearly done 🙏

[uncut lark]

It's your recreation?

[blissful river]

No it’s just high quality photo of RBO:)

[ionic spear]

Please upload a video about rbo this month🥲

[earnest cape]

Based on what we’ve seen of concept maps it’s probably a concept.

[shadow hearth]

bro i just checked out the hn3 steam page and it looks phenomenal wth
they finally brought back the old artstyle feel of the game

[mighty orchid]

Well…. It’s placeholder so the old style probably won’t come back. I’m guessing it’ll look different since it’s only in prototype

[untold grotto]

nikita said he wanted to keep this design

also Aleksandr said that it could change but they are happy with the current artstyle

[blissful river]

That’s really awesome

I love the foliage and art style so much lol

It’s just so good

[mighty orchid]

Oh ok I just remember seeing something about it being placeholder so I just assumed it meant the looks and plus it being prototype. Nice to know but I’ll still wait to see it closer to final product.

[pine heron]

Yeah. I agree it has really good foliage. It looks really realistic though and my friend legit thought it was the movie since its belive to be live action. Lol.

[blissful river]

yeah its very realistic but also very custom looking

[pine heron]

yoo anyone wanna play rbo???

[blissful river]

Would but can’t rn.

[restive oxide]

:(

[blissful river]

sadness

[restive oxide]

just exploring by myself is kinda cool anyways tho, because i didn't did to play rbo when it was out, but i download it from archive and its really cool looking

[blissful river]

Yea

It’s really detailed for a prototype

[restive oxide]

very

[blissful river]

Hope maybe Nikita will let us play the updated version of RBO

It’s just to cool looking lol

[restive oxide]

i mean we supposedly get an alpha sometime this month

so either way

I'm hyped

[blissful river]

Yea the HN3 prototype

[blissful river]

Yesss

[restive oxide]

I'm so excited bro

[blissful river]

Just sad we won’t have multiplayer

But single player is good too

The Peakness

[restive oxide]

since ragdolling is coming back, i think the characters will have a lot more personality

[blissful river]

Yea

[full flower]

Really? Why?

[restive oxide]

the guest in the hn2 alphas felt so goofy, after he fell down he would run away like he was embarrased or something, so i'm really hopeful for hn3

[blissful river]

It’s just fun to play with friends. But again single player is very good.

[restive oxide]

plus, you gotta know some modders will make it mp

[blissful river]

Yeah true

[full flower]

I didn’t think that, well, okay xd

[blissful river]

Oh ok. 👍

[restive oxide]

yeah, i'd rather it be singleplayer

it feels to chaotic with a bunch of ppl

[blissful river]

True

[restive oxide]

thats the main reason i dont really like sn

everyone is rushing

in hn2 you get to slow down and explore

[blissful river]

I do hope the RBO house will have some sort of use in HN3

[wintry zephyr]

RBO works better as a spinoff

[restive oxide]

i think it will

[blissful river]

But I bet there will be better houses anyway.

[restive oxide]

i'm actually suprised honestly that there arent any RBO mods

thats actually a really neat idea

[earnest cape]

I think it would be good for post launch updates for stuff like trying to add RBO as a mode for the game.

And fixing the game and adding stuff.

[main dove]

Oh yeah, rbo is no longer called rbo and instead is called "hello neighbor 3 playtest"

[earnest cape]

Mhm

[earnest cape]

The idea of getting a notification that your homes being invaded is pretty neat.

I could just imagine being on a call and then go “I’ll have to call you back, I just got a notification my homes being invaded I need to go!”

[open plaza]

so rust?

[ripe cosmos]

Do you know what Id love to see a spin of game where it tells the backstory of Mr.peterson himslef not about his family but the neighbor himself what was his like like growing up was his dad also chaotic and did he actually loose his mom in some terrible accident did his dad lock him away in a basement and if so did he set up traps to secure his house so that no one knows what's going on

[wintry zephyr]

Books already exist

[brave flame]

Yea we already know about Teds parents and all that

[severe merlin]

People, I do not know where this misinformation comes from 🙂
I probably should pin messages. The game is in PROTOTYPE stage. It's VERY far from ALPHA or even pre-Alpha.
This is some internal stage of development I want to share, not a full blown game.

[frosty gyro]

Nikita how much of devlog 2 is done?

[untold grotto]

hello nikita

[severe merlin]

Its in progress. Percentage wont give you estimation

[severe merlin]

It might be slightly delayed, though.
As this holiday we rescued a very awesome dog and it happened in another country so all the processes, registrations etc. take a bit extra time

[frosty gyro]

[untold grotto]

nikita does this mean anything or was it a normal change

[severe merlin]

The dog, btw

[untold grotto]

cute

[frosty gyro]

It looks lovely

[severe merlin]

It's a girl 🙂

[untold grotto]

nikita are these from the current prototype or from test locations

[uncut lark]

Hi Nikita, when will the full concept of the neighbor be shown?
