you should pin stuff, it'd be great! or maybe post important info in the WIP channel, so people will see it easily 
this server is filled with misinfo nowadays, even I have to fact check everything

its just that people talk about the subject without any information or research online, and it makes hard to believe which is true and which is not. so it is a good idea to pin messages.

Return of the cult? A town slowly dying? Why do we have to break in the neighbour’s house unless there’s something in the basement?
I also feel bad for Peterson. Even in the HN3 leak pictures of him he looks depressed.

considering he got practically crushed by a crow statue at the end of hn2 i wouldnt be surprised if his back just broke and thats why he needs the shovel

Cult is probably gone by the time of HN3, they're either goners or top dogs since the town is half-abandoned
Nobody said that we have or will be breaking into Theodore's house again, it doesn't have to be the basement specifically either
icy breach
I guess HN3 is the ending
wintry zephyr
it looks betterr thoo
The game already has an unique style
The HN3 looks eerie and creepy already, no need to change so it can "fit the pre-alpha vibes"
Better than any artstyle before if you ask me

but they need to make it not as cryptic, you should be able to get 90% of the lore out of the game itself

jovial sorrel
YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?
HOLY SHIT
That's my top favorite mod of all time

YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?
Yes it kind of turned a little famous
Alot of people know it
SADLY it got cancelled
jovial sorrel
not exactly
wintry zephyr

jovial sorrel
they said if the hn community does better (not harrass fangame and mod developers like they are a triple a dev team) they will return
and finish it
its in their youtube community post
wintry zephyr
they said if the hn community does better (not harrass fangame and mod developer...
Oh yeay
Yeah they said that
jovial sorrel
they've stated that they DO want to finish it
but as of currently
we dont DESERVE it because of how toxic this fanbase is

But it wasn't just because of the community though

it did look promising

it did look promising
cuz they started making a 3d model for the alpha 3 concept art house

cuz they started making a 3d model for the alpha 3 concept art house
When?
jovial sorrel
go to the extras area inside the mod
theres a room in the back of the house on the 2nd floor
theres a billboard with the images

Scrapped?

Uuuhh

Maybe for chapter 2 the?

it would be chapter 2
i heard it was gonna be for like a hn2 retelling but i dont think thats what it would be
only the devs know what it would be

This is going really off topic

because its actually good
That's debatable
Imo i think both HN1 artstyles are mid
Like, both look ugly imo
wintry zephyr
But at the same time both are unique
jovial sorrel
the ambience
it feels like your actually invading someone's home
wintry zephyr
Both artstyles can look good if used correctly
Curse retold is definitively a good example for old artstyle used correctly
jovial sorrel
indeed
wintry zephyr
And there's also autumns last storm
jovial sorrel
tbh
wintry zephyr
Which is a good example for FG artstyle used correctly
jovial sorrel
i think alpha 2's mixed art style is good
wintry zephyr
It just needs to have good lighting, ambience and graphics
wintry zephyr
i think alpha 2's mixed art style is good
The lighting and ambience is good
jovial sorrel
pre-alpha - alpha 2 is where official hello neighbor media peaked imo
then 2023 - now fan media is where the fan stuff peaked imo
Curse Retold being my case in point for fan media
and alpha 1 being my case in point for official media

You can kinda tell that they tried to make Quentin have more personality and have a deeper connection to Raven Brooks (the newspaper in patch 9) but sadly his story was cut short
imo, the idea of Nicky overcoming his trauma is what makes HN1’s story so interesting

Is this the official guest model for Hello Neighbor 3?
In one of the hello neighbor 3 screenshots it shows a character in the background and from what we can see of that characters body shape it actually does resemble the guest design in the photo but with a few differences, so I'm guessing the guest will look something like that, but im not 100% sure and no we don't know if it's official.

Crowman shelter was likely turned into the churhx
And the catacombs we're moved to act 3 (the church is supposed to be the end od act 2)
So yeah, safe to say only remaining thing for act 2 was the ruined town
And nothing else (that we know about)
wintry zephyr
The crowman shelter and the catacombs sounds way better though
That wouldn't make much sense
The catacombs is way too small to fit a building as tall as the crowman shelter

This design

The new one makes the forest protectors looks less unique honestly
It's just too similar
They probably did that on purpose tho
sour quail
Yeah
wintry zephyr
Yeah
I think it would be cool if the cultists had different variants or "classes" instead of everyone having a white mask or the yellow beak
For example, the ritualist cultists use the white bird masks and they perform the rituals using the luck devices on cerimonies
Then there's the crowfaces who are the assassin cultists, and they kill people who try to get in their way
And they do most of the work for the cult
And then there's the leader of the cult who uses a plague doctor-esce mask

I'm pretty sure he said he could release it by now but I think he also said he doesn't want people to judge it too quick if it's too buggy or something
