hn3-discussion

[severe merlin]

It is somewhat contained and can be "beaten". But it's a very simple first iteration. It was never ment to be public, I just thought it would be great to share with people

[frozen mauve]

ohhh

[untold grotto]

it might be better to share it with the community if it is at least enough to understand the gameplay concept

btw, will it be time limited like rbo playtest?

[frozen mauve]

k

[frozen mauve]

i dont think so

[severe merlin]

Not sure yet. For now, I don't think so

[untold grotto]

are you the composer for hn3 or siarhei?

speaking of which, should we expect a soundtrack from the prototype?

[severe merlin]

We working together. He is the one writing, but we discussing what it should be like very close.

[tepid flicker]

From what I can gather from the few screenshots and messages Nikita and Aleksandr have sent - just think of this prototype as an internal build that Nikita wants to share with the community for fun. As a bonus, it also proves that this game's development is very much open and transparent, like he said it would be.

[severe merlin]

Nah, its a prototype

[restive oxide]

Man I really hate timed games, so I hope it's not, it ruins the vibe, especially cuz it's a sandbox

[untold grotto]

seeing two peak composers together

[oblique parcel]

How Will the ai be in the Prototype

I assume its gonna be very simple?

[frozen mauve]

since its a sandbox i cant wait to kick the neighbor out of his house

[tepid flicker]

I genuinely can't wrap my head around how people do not understand what the word Prototype means.

[restive oxide]

Will we see ragdolls in the proto? Or is that being saved for the full game?

[frozen mauve]

yea it basiclly means the first stage

[tepid flicker]

The build will literally just be the building blocks, the foundation if you will, of HN3. Nothing super noteworthy, nothing final - it's a prototype, essentially a proof of concept.

[quaint dagger]

Nikita hello neighbor 3 when will the full version be released

[spiral atlas]

I'm just super excited to play and watch HN3 be built up to something awesome, starting with a prototype. It's gonna be really cool.

[restive oxide]

._.

[tepid flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/pedro-pascal-mandalorian-laugh-cry-gif-21495683

[quaint dagger]

I waiting hn 3 fullgame bro

[spiral atlas]

We don't know, they haven't even released the prototype yet. It's a long ways away

[frozen mauve]

Hello Neighbor is love
Hello Neighbor is life

[severe merlin]

Very simple indeed. With this prototype our goal was to test first iteration of AI. Its ability to take actions and pick "tasks". I will explain it in a devlog

[quaint dagger]

When will Hello Neighbor 3 prototype come?

[untold grotto]

is the team currently working on QA, or has work already started on the new build?

[restive oxide]

I assume we will get the devlog will be released within a month?

[spiral atlas]

Oh yeah, you feeling better Nikita? I remember you talking about having a cold.

[untold grotto]

right after devlog 2

[severe merlin]

We already working on a second iteration currently 🙂

[oblique parcel]

So Is the Map already being remade? Or is the Prototype one still gonna be used

[restive oxide]

Altered more likely

[frozen mauve]

Wait there are Npc/s in the build??

[oblique parcel]

Yes

[tender stump]

hey nikita

[untold grotto]

has there been any concept art about the player or at least something about what he/she will look like?

[untold grotto]

iris
jacob
signed

[frozen mauve]

nice

[tender stump]

getting closer and closer to pre-alpha stages.. yayyy

[untold grotto]

well what do you expect to do in the prototype without NPCs?

[tender stump]

honestly really happy to see this game evolve

[frozen mauve]

cant wait to mess around with the ai

[frozen mauve]

explore the map??

[untold grotto]

unless you just want a walking simulation

[restive oxide]

Nikita, serious question, will NPCs be able to leave their designated areas, like can the neighbor leave his house/hideout whatever

[oblique parcel]

I think npcs are planned to be able to leave their homes yeah

[restive oxide]

YEESSS

[frozen mauve]

wait if signed is inside of the build what bout coned and covered

[severe merlin]

Next stage going to have different map

[untold grotto]

ig remember they even planned to drive

[spiral atlas]

I think it's likely that NPCs will have home areas but will be able to wander and do other things (go to the park, work at their jobs, etc.)

That's just what I assume though, not 100% factual.

[severe merlin]

Not now. Only some narrative, no visuals yet.

[untold grotto]

we currently know two NPC interactions that will be in the prototype:

jacob - works at a gas station

signed - attacks electricity poles

what about iris? Hmm

[tepid flicker]

When Hello Guest Prototype was released to the public in January 2020, was Hello Guest Alpha 1 (released in June 2020) already quite far along in development? Perhaps even finished and the team were already beginning work on HN2 Alpha 1? Basically what I'm asking is: Were the packaged builds that we received "delayed"/offset from the latest internal builds by like 3 to 4 months? And if so, is that also the case with HN3?

[restive oxide]

I assume so, but will NPCs be able to interact with each other? Like will signed be able to attack Jacob or something, or maybe two NPCs could get into a fight

[untold grotto]

hn3 is not about fighting

[restive oxide]

Examples

[severe merlin]

Yes, that's the whole point of HN3. Even though NPCs will "know" areas they responsible for. They never "locked" in the area. They just people doing their stuff.

[restive oxide]

YEESSSSS

[spiral atlas]

What are you guys aiming for with the player? I've been curious because a game like this feels like it'd have the protagonist be YOU as opposed to one in the world with a backstory. I could see it being a mix of both.

[untold grotto]

will there be NPCs breaking into each other's houses in the prototype or will it be in future builds?

[simple dragon]

well since HGP was packaged February of 2019 then yeah

[tepid flicker]

Well that answers that then lol

[restive oxide]

That's kinda the point of the player, you are someone new, has no relationship with raven brooks whatsoever, so YOU write the backstory

[severe merlin]

Not "fight" but they will be interacting. Just like they will kick player out of their house, they will do the same to other NPCs. There will be also positive interacts.
But in upcoming prototype it's very simple, for now

[restive oxide]

One more q, how will the NPCs catch the players? Like in hn2 alphas? Or like in hn1?

[keen hemlock]

When can we expect the next devlog?

[restive oxide]

probably sometime this month

[stiff osprey]

Hi, guys what’s going on?

[untold grotto]

related to the ninjonahplayz's question, will there be a respawn system in the game? I mean, will we be thrown back and start over after being caught?

[tepid flicker]

Why not just wait for the build to come out and find out yourself?

[severe merlin]

Our goal is something like HN2 alpha. No teleportation or fading screen, just physically throwing you out.
For now it's just instant teleportation as dragging and throwing not critical for this stage of development.

[restive oxide]

Fair

[silk hawk]

If there will be so many houses in the prototype, who will live in them, I mean there will be several signed?

[untold grotto]

yea this is what i asked ig

[tepid flicker]

HN1 Alpha 3 flashbacks

[restive oxide]

I think there is only one signed, one coned, one covered, but idk

[silk hawk]

Coned and covered even don’t have model

[restive oxide]

Signed feels like he would be an actually person, not a type of npc

[restive oxide]

Ik

[untold grotto]

nikita for people who are impatient for a devlog and for people who think it can be shot in a short time, can you explain in simple terms under what conditions a devlog is shot and how many people are involved in it, how long does it take to film and edit the devlog?

[severe merlin]

There won't be "types" of NPC in HN3, indeed.

[restive oxide]

Thank goodness

I said that cuz in RBO there were multiple signeds

[spiral atlas]

I mean more like will the character be grounded or a stand in for the player themselves. Like will the character have more of a complex backstory like Nicky or Mr. Peterson, or will it be sort of open like Road 96, where the player has a backstory but it's very vague.

[restive oxide]

The player has no backstory other than they just arrived in raven brooks I think

[severe merlin]

I do all scripting, sound and editing alone, some scenes I shoot alone, some scenes with the help of someone (If it's not a static camera). That's basically it.

[pine heron]

Interesting

[oblique parcel]

Really excited for the guest to be back in hn3 glad hes gonna be in it

[pine heron]

Are there any main locations for the prototype?

Example: RBO house

[silk hawk]

Nikita, will the main character have his own house?

[untold grotto]

so, what stage is Devlog 2 at now? (tbh if I were you I would feel fed up too, a bunch of people pressuring you as if they were your bosses like "where is devlog 2", "when is devlog2" etc.)

[sweet musk]

will hn3 be as scary as hello neighbor pre alpha?

[severe merlin]

Nope. Main character is an outsider

[sour quail]

He said it won't be straight up horror but it will be eerie and mysterious

[tepid flicker]

They always say "Where is devlog 2?", "When is devlog 2?" but never "How is devlog 2?"

[silk hawk]

Sad

[pine heron]

Do you have any plans for who the main character is?

[oblique parcel]

Well its a Nobody pretty much

[severe merlin]

No. We are not targeting horror. "Cozy and Eerie" is our goal.

[tepid flicker]

I do wish horror was incorporated

[oblique parcel]

Same

[tepid flicker]

Not too much, of course

Just a pinch of it

[sweet musk]

Epic to hear! the long and creepy characters are a unique touch, i think they look great.

[severe merlin]

The will be uneasiness to some degree (not in a prototype though). But not real horror.

[tepid flicker]

The kind of stuff that makes you nervous to enter one of the houses, not gore or cheap jumpscares.

[oblique parcel]

I mean i feel like the guest for example actually has Some horror potential

[tepid flicker]

Gotcha!

[oblique parcel]

But im fine with uneasiness too

[untold grotto]

will the Neighbors full concept art be shown in devlog 2 or was it planned at a special time?

[daring gyro]

Does that involve the long figure

[spiral atlas]

The character and location designs really give me this sort of eerie vibe already, like the tall guy and the town square like area really give off that vibe that something isn't entirely right in Raven Brooks.

[severe merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/shhh-shush-quiet-gif-8316632

[tepid flicker]

The best thing you guys can do to incorporate some "horror" into the game without any age rating increase or anything like that, is just to not have as many audio and visual cues like HN1 and HN2 did.

[pine heron]

Something tells me it is planned

[tepid flicker]

HN1 Pre-Alpha and Alpha 1 scare me more than ANY other build, because I don't truly know where The Neighbor™️ is.

[untold grotto]

the guest's reveal was also planned for a special time

[maiden hornet]

any updates on when we can expect devlog 2

[oblique parcel]

Yeah i do not like how he gasps in the final game it kinda ruins tension for me

[daring gyro]

On the sofa watching tv :trolla:

[tepid flicker]

If you ignore that

[spiral atlas]

These two screenshots in particular.

[pine heron]

First image is my favorite we got so far

[tepid flicker]

But even then, the whole TV thing spooks me when I'm in the hallway and he turns the TV off because I know I have got to hurry up and hide.

Obviously as I've gotten older it doesn't bother me nearly as much as it once did, but it's just something I wanted to point out.

[daring gyro]

Fair
The footsteps also remarkably help

[oblique parcel]

Yeah

[pine heron]

That would be kinda creepy. But a chillgame where u just walk around is kinda a game I've always wanted. I know its not supposed to be that but that's probably what I'mma gona do. Lol.

[tepid flicker]

Exactly, the rhythmic thumps really sell the fact that you're not alone in the house.

[sour quail]

Nikita, when the prototype releases will it be on steam to try out?

[daring gyro]

The closest thing to this feeling i've got recently Is how guest behaves in forest

[untold grotto]

these are the characters we know so far:

the player (actually we don't know but nvm)
jacob
iris
signed
coned
covered
tall guy (unless it's someone we know)
the neighbor
the guest

are any new character(s) planned, even if not in the near future?

[pine heron]

Nakitia, what main location does the prototype have?

[tepid flicker]

I initially felt more stressed than scared, and then it somewhat balanced out after I found out he can take multiple routes to get into buildings or just barge in unannounced. But now he just annoys me, it's neither stressful or scary.

[daring gyro]

I only ever found It annoying when running in the forest

[wooden vapor]

I have just one question: are there any plans to reintroduce the mechanics of flight using extinguishers as in alphas Hn2?

(not necessarily in the prototype)

[untold grotto]

the fire extinguisher will return, but its gameplay purpose has not been decided (at least until about a month ago)

[wooden vapor]

I understand that. It’s just that this particular mechanic, in my opinion, was very interesting and replaced fast travel

[plain sierra]

will it be close to hn2 alpha 1-1.5?

[wooden vapor]

I hope

[untold grotto]

we should stop asking questions about this

[maiden hornet]

ok

[austere jasper]

It was pretty cool, RBO had some movement items too like the spring shoes.

I could see something like that being in HN3

[rain musk]

please make this a big-budget game that ties up 1 and 2's cliffhangers. I also want the weather mechanic to be a thing

make this the finale in the trilogy.

[restive oxide]

Who says it's the finale?

[wooden vapor]

Yeah, I really hope they release a third part that surpasses the previous ones and brings the story to a proper conclusion. I just really don’t want them to keep churning out more and more mediocre games, only for the franchise to end up being remembered as one filled with mediocrity. It’s better to wrap things up with a solid game so that when people talk about Hello Neighbor, they only have good things to say.

[rain musk]

What do you think about the end credits being the hello neighbor 1 menu theme

[wooden vapor]

Yes it will be nostalgic but nothing more

[little onyx]

Will feedback from players with the upcoming prototype release be taken into consideration when advancing onto the next iterations of the project? This was an issue in the past with HN and HN2, where builds were staggered in a way where the development and the community were not on the same page with how the project was coming along, and expectations/feedback were thrown off.

If not, it would be difficult to trust how the game is progressing and if there is anything to actually get invested to, as it could change from one build to the next without any of the players input. This happened with HN2 where we all took surveys about the alpha builds, when at the time, everything we were being asked about was already scrapped or altered.

[austere jasper]

Why would they share this prototype if they did not care about community feedback.

I'm sure it'll be considered cause thats the whole point of it.

[little onyx]

Well, I'm asking because they're already moving onto the next iteration. We haven't been able to give feedback yet.

This is exactly what went wrong with HN and HN2.

Of course, I'm being overly critical, but after how many times this community has been burned before, it's only fair to scrutinize when you notice a repeating pattern.

[austere jasper]

That is true, almost felt like they were dropping those builds just to give us something to play

rather than it being about the actual playtesting

[restive oxide]

They weren't even going to give us the proto, but Nikita thought it would be a good idea

The proto is literally just a testing grounds

[untold grotto]

they will give us tho

[restive oxide]

Not a playtest

[untold grotto]

i think they should NOT have started a new build or prototype 2 before giving it to us

[restive oxide]

The proto had nothing to do with getting feedback

Just to give us something to play

[wintry zephyr]

But that's literally what it's supposed to be

It's just to showcase the AI

and give an example of how the will work

[maiden hornet]

how the

[plain sierra]

everything will be better than "patch 10 in work"

[untold grotto]

hn2 is still very much alive

[plain sierra]

patch 10 is coming

[untold grotto]

well, then this is nothing

wheres the "open-development"

isn't this why the first two games were the failures?

[maiden hornet]

yeah

i wish they were more open still

[untold grotto]

this is what should happen:

prototype - feedback(s) - new prototype with our feedbacks - new feedbacks - new build etc etc

aand this is SHOULD NOT happen

prototype - new prototype - feedback(s) - New build

[restive oxide]

They will have the feedback stuff, this is literally just a gameplay test that they weren't going to even give us

The prototype is just for testing

There isn't enough for feedback

[plain sierra]

i liked hn1 and 2,but they promised too much and bcse of that they look bad

[restive oxide]

Feedback will come in playtest and beta and Actual alpha stages

Do none of you know what a prototype is?

[untold grotto]

then release the prototype to people for nothing

[restive oxide]

Because Nikita wanted to give ppl something to play

[untold grotto]

re-release rbo prototype 🙃

[restive oxide]

The proto is just a test to see how things should work, test some AI and mechanics

Not for feedback

[plain sierra]

i kinda liked rbo,sad that it wont release ever again

[restive oxide]

Wait till it's actually been developed a little

[restive oxide]

You can literally still play it

[untold grotto]

in unoriginal ways

[maiden hornet]

nikita never said anything about getting feedback from the prototype

[restive oxide]

It costs 100 bucks to upload a game to steam, it also costs money to host a website

[maiden hornet]

he said its just something for people to play around with

[restive oxide]

There isn't a point to keeping it on steam or on a website

At least you can still play it

[untold grotto]

what if people don't like the prototype and the things/ideas in it, will a second prototype come with the same things?

[untold grotto]

tB is not a company that works with 4 people and has no budget

[wintry zephyr]

I have a feelin ya'll are expecting too much

[restive oxide]

Wasting money on something that is discontinued is pointless

[untold grotto]

first games and second games alphas hmmm

[maiden hornet]

its a prototype. not everything is permanent, there is still looooaaaads of time to change and tweak things

[plain sierra]

but their games die like in month

[restive oxide]

They will take in feedback eventually, prototype is not for that tho

Nothing is permanent rn

It's all just testing stuff

[plain sierra]

love your pfp

[wintry zephyr]

Thanks Goofy ah uncle production

[untold grotto]

how logical is it to do a second test, while not looking at the results of the first test?

[maiden hornet]

its not a (play)test

its a prototype

[restive oxide]

Not a test to see how ppl like it, it's a test of mechanics and ai

[rocky tinsel]

hii

guys when will they release pre aplpha

[restive oxide]

Not for a while bro

I think you mean prototype

[rocky tinsel]

yeah

[restive oxide]

It comes right after devlog 2

Which most likely comes sometime this month

[untold grotto]

as I said, what if people don't like what's being tested?

[rocky tinsel]

huh

[restive oxide]

Too bad

It's not a playtest

Things will change

This is to test mechanics and ai

Nothing else

[slender basin]

Hey folks

[unique turret]

hi

[blissful river]

hello.

[stone elk]

Whats up🎅

[slender basin]

Well, we've already asked you a few times to please focus this channel on HN3 or we'll have to start limiting access to it. Use this space to talk to the devs, bring ideas and questions about the game.
This is not a place for other things like discussions about other games or pfps, or fights.
Thanks for your understanding

[full flower]

Well okay

[slender basin]

Yes, we'll have HN3, it's being developed

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2789680/Hello_Neighbor_3/

Steam

Hello Neighbor 3

Arriving in Raven Brooks as a stranger with no ties to this place, you find yourself in a forgotten, half-abandoned town where every citizen has relations, desires, and goals. Your actions will ripple through the town, changing the course of events…Simulated town - Raven Brooks as a sandbox simulated in real-time. Residents act based on their pe...

Release Date

To be announced

[full flower]

Is died

[stone elk]

No patch 10

[blissful river]

No.

watch HN3 devlog 1.5

[unique turret]

[untold grotto]

when you say limited access, is it like the basement channel?

[stone elk]

Prototype on the way

[full flower]

Prototype

Dude

[slender basin]

Like embeds

[untold grotto]

you can see but you can't send messages, right?

[slender basin]

For now, let's keep our focus, we don't want to change anything

[wintry zephyr]

HN2 was already about Aaron bruh

Yah

[untold grotto]

yep

[wintry zephyr]

Almost kill

[untold grotto]

aaand blanks

no

whos the ghost

the guest?

[wintry zephyr]

No??? 😭😭😭

The guest isn't a ghost bruh

Also no guest isn't Aaron

In search and rescue the guest literally helps Aaron

That's Just a switching mechanic

He's not literally turning into the guest

Also we literally see the guest in the HN2 intro lol

We already know everything about the neighbor 😭

[untold grotto]

lets move on hn3

[wintry zephyr]

It literally confirms it's not him???

[untold grotto]

or you guys can move #lore-discussion or #hello-neighbor

[wintry zephyr]

https://discord.com/channels/474299944254308373/768152883765444608

Let's go to this channel

We already know everything about Nicky bruh

Guest is probably gonna be the focus

(hopefully)

He just continued living his life as an adult

Maybe we will see him in HN3 tho

We're not getting HN4 bro

[restive oxide]

aaron is literally a 12 year old child in hn2. its not him bruh

no, im saying the guest is clearly an adult and not a 12 year old child

aaron is also locked in the museum

Nicky is also a 12 year old child in hn2

him and nicky are the same age

hn3 takes place after act 3.

it would have to. in hn1, even in act3, you see cars driving around

still a lively town

but in hn3, the town is mostly abandoned

and decrepit

[untold grotto]

not confirmed

[restive oxide]

ik

literally look at the messages right after that

[idle narwhal]

Well, did you ever think there would be a HN3?

[restive oxide]

i feel like hn3 was totally unexpected

[near meadow]

Hn4

Well nikita has a dream game

So prolly yes

And hn4 wont be the last

[unique turret]

why did the bot tell me to stop spamming?

im not

[wintry zephyr]

Yes

I even kind of had a concept for it

[near meadow]

I hate

anyone

who just pinged bruh

I thought

hn3 devlog was announced

but it wasnt

WHO

Who ghost pinged me

[blissful river]

it is indeed

[restive oxide]

Hopefully within a week

[cunning yacht]

Any update?

On the prototype release

[near meadow]

Stop pinging me

[elfin ridge]

it was you

[near meadow]

You’re not funny you’re annoying

[wintry zephyr]

What 😭

Why are you getting mad

[near meadow]

Someone spam ghost pinging

[elfin ridge]

it was this guy

if i remember correctly

[wintry zephyr]

Just silence the server you don't get any pings

And stop ghost pinging btw you're annoying 👍

[frail solar]

Hear me out why do the hello neighbor 3 enemies kind of look like little nightmare enemies

[restive oxide]

No

Why

[pine heron]

Nah. I can see the similarities between these two alone.
Covered and Monster Six.

[restive oxide]

This has ruined my entire life

I am depressed now

😔

I am mostly depressed because I don't have embeds

And Jacky is ignoring me or is offline

[frail solar]

How about these two?

[restive oxide]

Nah

Don't see it in those two

[frail solar]

You're telling me if that man didn't take his hands out of his pockets they wouldn't be long like thin man's

Also wasn't the original name for hello neighbor 3 going to be raven brook online

[pine heron]

That was not something I wanted to picture today

[magic flume]

Hear me out here, the theory that this game takes place after act 3 is very valid, cause the town is run down and decrepit, but it takes place before the house burnt down, meaning Nicky is not going to be part of hn3

Wait actually, sometime between act 2 and 3

[calm mesa]

Hello people (:

[frosty gyro]

Hi

[calm mesa]

I believe i saw some channel that had some early screenshots or concept photos of different houses for HN3, but can't find it...

Ah yes the work-in-progress channel

I'm gonna try and recreate this image in Scrap Mechanic, which means making the environment from scratch, and the building itself too. be back in 15 years

[wooden condor]

HL3?

[calm mesa]

Oh my bad

HN3 lol

[foggy fable]

Ig they were inspired

There's no way they weren't tbh, the similarities are there

Especially with that tall guy

[calm mesa]

Starting to look like it...slightly

[calm mesa]

Looking better

[ornate sedge]

Hello everyone, does anyone know where I can listen to all of Nikita Kolesnikov’s music?

[calm mesa]

Idk, try YT

[calm mesa]

Quick update on the map

Need more trees though...

[calm mesa]

Done! Couldn't build the house or anything, i accidentally built it a bit offset, so the grid doesn't match it.

[wooden condor]

What is that?

[brisk forum]

This looks so good

[cunning yacht]

U SNITCH😭

[cunning yacht]

Nah i only did it one time for the funnies, idk who else is doing it

[calm mesa]

It's this picture recreated in Scrap Mechanic.

[calm mesa]

thx

[tepid temple]

How can i test hello neighbor 3?

[calm mesa]

I don't think you can right now, maybe in the future there will be playtest

[tepid temple]

Thanks 🙂

Im so happy when the publisher released the Game 🙂

When does it come out? the Game

[brisk forum]

when it comes out ofc

[tepid temple]

this year?

[untold grotto]

there will be a playtest this month

[brisk forum]

no, the year it comes out lol

[untold grotto]

but its a PROTOTYPE build

[calm mesa]

wha

[untold grotto]

don't expect much

[brisk forum]

We love HN prototypes

[tepid temple]

has the game alpha version like hello neighbor 1 (2) ?

[calm mesa]

Probably

[tepid temple]

yippi

[untold grotto]

yep, but not right now

[tepid temple]

i know

[untold grotto]

its not even a alpha right now

its a simple prototype

[tepid temple]

i have the game on my wishlist

[calm mesa]

Probably all of us

[untold grotto]

prototype screenshots

[tepid temple]

I think so because these games are greatful

[calm mesa]

Yeah, and that we want a real good HN game, now that HN2 stopped receiving updates and the first game getting a bit stale.

[untold grotto]

as I said, the prototype version will be released as a playtest soon this month

[safe cloak]

Bruh somebody uploaded a mod for hn1 but signed is the neighbor

[cunning yacht]

Any nice mechanis ready?

[untold grotto]

this is the first and crude form of even a small part of mechanics

its just a test thing

[cunning yacht]

Ah okay, what about full release

Idk if u can say tho for legal reasons

[untold grotto]

🤷

[cunning yacht]

Sad

I hope physics is added

[frosty gyro]

Hes not a developer

[cunning yacht]

Like uh knocking something down

[cunning yacht]

I assumed he was cuz of the role

My fault

[unique turret]

i cant wait to play it

[wooden condor]

I hope devlog will out tommorow.

[loud karma]

Or at least this Month

[wooden condor]

Anyway it probably will out tommorow because Nikita said that it "Hopefully will be able to deliver at the beginning of February" so tomorow is the end of "Beginning of February"

[untold grotto]

how can February 10th be the beginning of February? 🙏🏻😭

beginning of February means 1-5 feb

early feb means 6-10 feb

mid feb means 11-19 feb

late feb means 20-25 feb

ending of feb means 26-28 or 29

[wooden condor]

1-10 - beginning of mouth, 11-20 - middle of mouth, 21-31 - end of mouth.

[lunar trail]

mouth

[untold grotto]

no the beginning of nose

[wooden condor]

Ahh, Really?

Sorry

[untold grotto]

at least that makes the most sense to me

[wintry zephyr]

It was never said it takes place before the house burned down

We didn't even see 910 friendly court yet

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah that was just a codename

[wintry zephyr]

Beggining of mouth, middle of mouth, end of mouth

Now whens the beggining of eyes?

[wooden condor]

Sorry, bad english, i wasn't checked spelling of this word :/

lol

[untold grotto]

ai slop

[nocturne coral]

please post in #ai-space

[untold grotto]

nikita, is the second iteration you mentioned here a second prototype or pre-alpha?

[pastel basin]

just a question, wouldnt it be better to release devlog and prototype, collect feedback, then make iteration 2? for me it sounds kind of weird, but im sure you guys have a plan

oh he went offline rip

[lunar trail]

i dont think the names matter much, it's just a new iteration

[calm mesa]

Weeeeellll...

[severe merlin]

Prototype

[untold grotto]

if the first prototype focuses on AI and mechanics, what will the second prototype focus on?

[pastel basin]

i assume more complex environments

[severe merlin]

Feedback is crucial, indeed. But it useful when there is something actually to collect feedback on.
We still collect feedback, but it won’t change what we do for next iteration as we still building a foundation.

[ionic spear]

Hi Nikita! Are you planning to have Nicky in Hello Neighbor 3?

[plain sierra]

HI Nikita,im sorry for asking for second time but will hn3 be like hn2 alpha 1-1.5?

[ionic spear]

yea

[severe merlin]

First prototype is first playable iteration of simplest AI, with little to no direct interactions. Next iteration is scaled up AI and ability to actually sneak in to AI’s locations. Also, test for an art style.

[severe merlin]

Short answer is “No”. But really depends on what you asking exactly.

[untold grotto]

is there an example or something you can describe from the new art style? have it moved away from the first art style?

[opaque summit]

Will Hello Neighbor 3 have puzzles like previous Hello Neighbor games?

[wintry zephyr]

Hopefully not

[plain sierra]

mostly abt artstyle and mysterious environment

[calm mesa]

Will the story and environment and characters ACTUALLY dynamically change like you mentioned on the steam page and devlogs?

[severe merlin]

It doesn’t. It what you can seen here #work-in-progress message
This style is just not implemented in the upcoming prototype.

[pastel basin]

oh i see

[severe merlin]

In final release or upcoming prototype?

[pastel basin]

so the second iteration will lean towards more detailed environments, and how ai adapts in it?

[calm mesa]

Both

Just generally if it will be like that

[ionic spear]

So, will there be some easter eggs in Hn3?

[severe merlin]

This is what we targeting. Can’t say anything for release as we currently in progress of building such technology. As for prototype it’s there to some degree but it’s VERY simple.

[calm mesa]

Oh okay, looking forward to it!

[plain sierra]

will old rbo concepts be used in hn3?

[severe merlin]

I’d say pretty it’s different.

[severe merlin]

Like what?

[plain sierra]

these creatures

[untold grotto]

she will used

[pastel basin]

they will be in it

[untold grotto]

but not for prototype

[pastel basin]

and so are other vandals

[ionic spear]

Will the big blue house used in rbo be used in hn3?

[severe merlin]

I’d say no. All “puzzles” will be in the environment and AI itself. Rather than actual puzzles.

[untold grotto]

no

[plain sierra]

thx guys

[jade night]

50/50

[untold grotto]

aleksandr said "We don't use it at the moment, but we may in the future."

also nikita said we wont or something like that

[opaque summit]

Sounds very interesting

[severe merlin]

We don’t have specific plans for it atm.

[untold grotto]

will pushing and knocking down AIs like in the original game return?

for future

[severe merlin]

We plan to have ability to "ragdoll" AIs like in Hello Guest, using certain mechanics. Not sure if pushing by hands will be, though

[plain sierra]

Will hn3 contain hn2 houses like museum or neighbors house?

[ionic spear]

Will there be ai talk in hn3?

[pastel basin]

npcs dont talk in hn3

[untold grotto]

is there a goal to beat the prototype?

[severe merlin]

As it was always with HN, there is no direct speech

[calm mesa]

Who is this little chap in the doorway?

[ionic spear]

unknown

[calm mesa]

ok

[severe merlin]

I do not want to confirm or deny Raven Brooks map elements at the moment.

[plain sierra]

me

[untold grotto]

"nikita, can you tell me what hn3's biggest secret is right now?" ahh question

[severe merlin]

You will know everything about prototype when you'll play it 🙂

[pastel basin]

are there any "hostile" npcs in prototype

[plain sierra]

will prototype launch on my 1050ti?

[ionic spear]

How many minutes does the prototype gameplay take on average?

[plain sierra]

bcse pc is pretty old

[severe merlin]

#hn3-discussion message

[calm mesa]

Will prototype launch on my Radeon RX 580 Series?

[severe merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/eh-meh-jim-jim-halpert-the-office-gif-25317293

[calm mesa]

Honest response

[lunar trail]

Why dont we wait until the prototype to drop to see if it can run on our pc's

[pastel basin]

will the prototype be released on steam or a link download

[calm mesa]

I'm assuming it runs on Unreal Engine 5

[plain sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/understandable-have-nice-day-have-a-great-day-have-a-good-day-nice-gif-20850110

[pastel basin]

it does

[lunar trail]

It's probably close anyway

[pastel basin]

that is the engine

yeah once devlog 2 drops

[plain sierra]

hope so

[ionic spear]

Will the graphics in hn 3 be better than other hn games?

[pastel basin]

thats up to you to decide

[ionic spear]

he is offline :((

[severe merlin]

It’s very subjective 🤷

[untold grotto]

is the hn3 prototype on par with the hgp?

[pastel basin]

is the day and night cycle in hn3 like the rbo one where its abrupt or like the hn2 alphas with the smooth lighting transitions

[woeful loom]

Nikita, Will be DLSS or FSR in this iteration? If not, will you add these technologies in the next iterations?

[severe merlin]

Depends on what you mean

[severe merlin]

Our plan is to have smooth cycle change (in prototype its pretty simple for now)

[ionic spear]

Will there be fun items like drones in hn3?

[foggy plaza]

Can you make sure it releases after the Super Bowl

Nah jk

[severe merlin]

Its not in priority list at all. We at prototype stages, trying to build technology as a foundation. This stuff wont make game any better. It will be implemented FAR FAR in to the future

[severe merlin]

🤷

[wooden vapor]

Any chance of getting a devlog before Valentine's Day?

[woeful loom]

Alright, thanks

[foggy plaza]

Is there a specific goal to reach? Or is it just to show enviorment

[pastel basin]

there will be a goal

[plain sierra]

can we use all stuff like it was in hello neighbor 1?

[foggy plaza]

Will the devlog launch today?

[pastel basin]

no

[untold grotto]

yep, not sure for prototype though

[foggy plaza]

So the prototype won’t launch today?

[ionic spear]

So, in hn3, will the guest be an agile crow as we know, or will he be an old man who has exhausted his strength like the neighbor?

[calm mesa]

Will you be able to pick everything up like in the first game?

[untold grotto]

#hn3-discussion message

he confirmed it before

[plain sierra]

thats good,kinda liked moving all stuff from neighbors house

[calm mesa]

Oh, and what did he say?

Sorry i'm new here, joined this morning

[pastel basin]

click the link

[calm mesa]

Oh my bad

Ok

[ionic spear]

i hope

[untold grotto]

too above though

[pastel basin]

any plans for weather systems in the 2nd prototype iteration (snow, rain, all that jazz)

[untold grotto]

cant find it

[severe merlin]

Yes, there are some plans. Can't say for the iteration though.

[ionic spear]

Will there be more characters in the 2nd prototype?

[keen hemlock]

So what is the gameplay of the prototype about. Do you sneak in other npcs houses or do you steal their stuff to change their behaviour or something like that

[pulsar sentinel]

weather is always smth i've wanted to see in hello neighbor

[pastel basin]

thats 2nd iteration stuff

1st iteraton is focused on ai

[opaque summit]

Is the prototype still planned to release in the beginning of february?

[pastel basin]

yeah

[plain sierra]

only god knows

[pulsar sentinel]

I hope it comes out this week or sometime soon

[jade night]

How I imagine it is like HN2A1 without the chasing the player part, just watching the AI do it's tasks around the map.

[opaque summit]

It really doesn't feel like it

[pastel basin]

will there be a sort of quest system in fullgame (like watering a neighbor's plants, watching their cat, getting something stuck on a tree)

[wooden vapor]

But it's the middle of the month

[pastel basin]

guh

just wait

let nikita finish the devlog

[pulsar sentinel]

yeah

[pastel basin]

the devlog is likely this week so you can wait

[ionic spear]

Will signed always be an enemy in hn3?

[wooden vapor]

Just like I was waiting for patch 10 and always believed this word “soon”?

[pastel basin]

what

the prototype isnt cancelled

just wait

[severe merlin]

There is no "enemies". Just "characters"

[pulsar sentinel]

oh ok

[jade night]

the prototype can't get canceled, it's already finished, and they are now working on the second prototype.

[pastel basin]

yeah

just wait for devlog 2

[ionic spear]

okay 😉

[jade night]

Yup

[pulsar sentinel]

as soon as I see the prototypes out I'm playing it

[bright rain]

It is an honor to meet you Nikita.

[pulsar sentinel]

same here

[untold grotto]

any updates about devlog?

[jade night]

I hope at some point we get to see more of Nikita's prototypes that were shown in devlog 1.5

[pastel basin]

true

[pulsar sentinel]

fr

[opaque summit]

Yeah they looked very interesting

[pastel basin]

yeah about devlog, hows current progress

[ionic spear]

So, can we defend ourselves against some characters in hn3?

[opaque summit]

You can probably defend yourself against everyone

[pulsar sentinel]

true

[woeful loom]

btw, in this iteration, despite the simplicity of mechanics, is possible conditional replayability, like helping someone else and getting a different way to reach the goal in second playthrough?

[ionic spear]

A fat man with big muscles caught you. Can you defend against him?

[untold grotto]

probably not

beacuse its not a demo

[opaque summit]

Try to defend yourself

[untold grotto]

its actual prototype

[woeful loom]

yeah

[ionic spear]

you are so brave

[opaque summit]

It probably wouldn't work though

[wintry zephyr]

Basically what he's saying (or atleast what i understood) is that no one is hostile right off the bat

All characters have like ways they react towards you

[ionic spear]

you don't understand what i mean

[wintry zephyr]

Say what you mean then lol

[ionic spear]

If I tell you, you will give ridiculous answers as always, that's why I keep silent.

[elfin ridge]

yes, i'm equal

[severe merlin]

What I was saying that there can be hostile characters from the beginning, or some characters that become hostile (or reverse). But the point is we do not plan to separate characters in to “types”. They are just characters with their personalities.

[spiral atlas]

Does each character start with like a base personality or are you aiming for it to be random each playthrough? So like Jacob can start happy or can instead start mad?

[untold grotto]

will we learn the reason why the population decreased from 4 to 3 in the prototype?

[pastel basin]

nikita has been heavily active, maybe the devlog is done?

[wooden condor]

Just one question, will prototype out in 21 century?

[pastel basin]

since he was really silent from jan 20 to like a few days ago

[night vigil]

Or maybe he's just active

[unique turret]

what percent would you say is devlog 2 is at?

[severe merlin]

Nothing is random. Everyone is prepared in advance.

[spiral atlas]

Ah, alright

[untold grotto]

at least is this just connected to the prototype lore or will it be directly in the hn3 lore, because the prototype has its own world

[earnest cape]

I really like that idea, I assume Signed is one of those characters that are hostile at sight.

If you could answer this Nikita I noticed in a lot of media shown Signed seems to whistle a lot, is that part of his personality or character?

[lunar trail]

ooh thats nice

every character having a certain personality sounds nice rather than randomized personalities

[cunning yacht]

This may sound stupid, but could TV sounds possibly make a return in HN3? It was weirdly one of my most nostalgic memories of HN1 lmao

[earnest cape]

So it’s completely on what the player does.

[bright rain]

It is an honor to meet you Nikita.

[solemn hatch]

it will be amazing if he add it

[untold grotto]

while we're talking about this, do you remember who voiced ilyich in hn1, nikita?

[sweet musk]

is the tinyclub role for developers?

[untold grotto]

no

[tepid flicker]

Siarhei is in charge of sound design, so TVs will prooobably sound like this.

[sweet musk]

WHY DO I KINDA LOVE THIS 😭

[bright rain]

I can't understand what that reporter is saying.

[tepid ember]

Bring the Spanish tv back for hn3

[tepid flicker]

This is from HN2 btw!

[bright rain]

What is the reporter saying

[tepid flicker]

That's the point

[tepid ember]

It sounds like a cyberman from doctor who

[tepid flicker]

True!

Especially at 0:21 - 0:24.

[tepid ember]

Yes

[bright rain]

I really hope it isn't Germany because we don't need them and Mr. Peterson to have beef with each other again.

[tepid ember]

Yeah

[sweet musk]

wrong reply srry

also i agree though

[tepid ember]

Lol

[sweet musk]

bring it back

[sweet musk]

i didn't know that.

[tepid flicker]

I don't think it's used in the final game, maybe only the beta.

[untold grotto]

what are you talking about

[bright rain]

Listen to the tv noise Aidan put out

[peak solar]

I hope HN3 isn't afraid to have some silly things

[night vigil]

I mean, ragdoll stuff is already confirmed to be a thing

[cunning yacht]

If it sounds like this, good. At least the TV has sound.

[untold grotto]

what about this one

[bright rain]

That sounds Russian.

[untold grotto]

its mixed russian

[icy breach]

33 hours without Hello Neighbor 3 now has become 33 YEARS without Hello Neighbour 3

[peak solar]

I mean understandable

Nikita's sick

[late veldt]

he said at one point thered be 4 ais in the prototype the plan just changed seemingly

the billboards just poking fun at that

[peak solar]

I love stuff like that

[late veldt]

kinda understandable since i think 3 ais would probably make testing the new systems a bit simpler

less chance for things to break this early too

really not looking forward to the first prototype most likely being a bit buggy and everyone just going "oh its over hn3s gonna be bad guys"

[peak solar]

That's why you put a disclaimer up there

[late veldt]

despite nikita saying over and over again its just a test for the ai

[peak solar]

I feel like Prototypes should be limited mainly to people in the Basement channel

[late veldt]

he said he might not do that when i asked him about it a while back

he thinks it wouldnt work

tbf i kinda get why he has that mindset considering the community would probably just ignore it lmao

[peak solar]

I wonder what the whole release plan is, then

actually wait, nevermind, I think the plan is probably gonna be the same as how people got RBO to playtest

at least, that's my theory

[late veldt]

i kinda doubt the playtests will be limited time like rbo

[untold grotto]

its not

[night vigil]

I mean, they did change the RBO Playtest thingy on Steam to HN3 Playtest

[late veldt]

it would be kinda odd to just delist them

granted they did that with hn2 until alpha 1.5

[untold grotto]

at least Nikita said its not in the current plans

[late veldt]

still annoyed about hgp not being on steam

[peak solar]

I think Nikita not minding might actually be part of the plan

[late veldt]

theyre just reusing the page

[peak solar]

gather feedback

[late veldt]

i mean thats the whole idea

we get more of a say this time

[peak solar]

If you don't TELL people it's a prototype, or they just ignore it, they'll be completely blunt about how things are.

since some people tend to just... hope it gets better later, and hold off on saying what they think

so him not doing anything special to me is actually a good idea

[pulsar sentinel]

I really hope the prototype comes out this week

[unique turret]

same

[near meadow]

It most likely will

He said early feb

[austere jasper]

Early Feb... of 2026!

[unique turret]

https://tenor.com/view/早安圖2023風景-gif-2644993955788734679

[cunning yacht]

idk bout you guys, but for me its 624pm on a sunday

if it gets released this week then it has 6 more hours 😭

[fiery scarab]

shadow drop the prototype would 100% reccomend

[near meadow]

Shut up

Nuh uh

I want

To go to discord tommorow

And see a notification

And ill be like

“Oh wow annoyncement”

And i watch video of devlog

[fiery scarab]

abit rude innit

[near meadow]

I am very rude man

🐸

[wooden condor]

Can it out just today?

Please EGS(

[stuck lynx]

please stop asking

[neon ether]

Prototype - released...
Gameplay: just walk...

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah no shit bro

It's a prototype

[restive oxide]

I hope they gimme my embeds back when it's out bro

[stuck lynx]

No

[severe merlin]

That’s actually not far from truth.

[restive oxide]

Hello there Nikita, idk if you can answer this, but if you could, could you give a percentage of how much of devlog 2 is done?

[severe merlin]

There will be disclaimer, but it never helps in real life. Here comparison of prototype of Horizon vs final game. It’s really hard to extrapolate.

[severe merlin]

Its reply to this message

[frosty gyro]

I wonder how the 3d concept art will be brought in the next prototype

[neon ether]

I think that protype - its just exploring, maybe testing atmosphere and idea with little gameplay part: walking, searching, jumping, and test reaction of ai, for example: we can steal bottle from gasstation, and jacob will be sad...

Simple mechanics for now.

But i have a question for Nikita: Will be Ai from protype has usually tasks? For example: working, watching tv, walk around town? Or its will be like hn2... Just walking two places...

[frosty gyro]

The ai can eat,go to work,work and be idle its really basic in the prototype tho

[neon ether]

Cool

I like simple builds

Of games

[tender stump]

pretty excited for the prototype & devlog 2

i hope we'll get something this week

[magic flume]

i have been a fan of hn since it was first announced and genuinley can't wait for hn3, keep up the good work no matter how long it takes to finish as long as it is a masterpiece o7

[sour quail]

Nikita, can the AI chase after you in the prototype or do you just watch them do simple tasks for the first prototype

[severe merlin]

They can, a little bit.

[sour quail]

Interesting. Also do you plan on sharing the second prototype as well when you're finished with it

[severe merlin]

Yes

[plain sierra]

do prototype still planned for the first half of February?

[sour quail]

Thanks for the info!

[severe merlin]

I do not want to give exact time frames, as initially it was planned in January but due to multiple situations it wasn't possible.
I'd say it will be sooner than later

[shadow nebula]

for sure this year

[plain sierra]

okay,thanks!

[tender stump]

prototype for valentines day would be iconic

[near meadow]

I wonder, will it be a surprise?

[fickle thicket]

Probably in between the 14th or 20th

[untold grotto]

will the new models of Iris and Jacob be used in prototype 1?

the screenshots were old models

[severe merlin]

It will be old models. For now, look of assets is low priority.

[untold grotto]

for second prototype?

[severe merlin]

Nope

[spiral atlas]

Is the second prototype planned to be released publicly or is it just an indev thing?

[untold grotto]

he said public

[spiral atlas]

Oh ok

[untold grotto]

#hn3-discussion message

[spiral atlas]

Must have missed that, mb

[untold grotto]

considering that both the HGP and the hn3 prototype are very rough sketchs, which one contains more content?

[sweet musk]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-neighbor-hello-neighbor-mod-modding-fangames-hello-neighbor-fangame-gif-15315724320645518370

[severe merlin]

You treat prototypes as demos, my friend. Which they are not. 🙂

[sweet musk]

will it have the same amount of content as rbo?

[severe merlin]

I thinks it's impossible to measure by the amount of content.

[blissful river]

Morning everyone.

[ionic spear]

hi nikita, will devlog 2 come this week?

[sweet musk]

people always ask him that 🙏

ask a question that he can answer

[ionic spear]

youre right

[tender stump]

does the team have anything like a rough roadmap planned for HN3?

for example certain milestones they desire to reach to get closer to a "product" that can be released

[ionic spear]

In hn3, will the guest be a fast and strong person as we know, or will he be old like the neighbor?

[sweet musk]

some people are expecting load's of content even though it's only 1 year into development, and that confuses me.

[ionic spear]

When will the rbo rebooted trailer arrive? @blissful river

[hoary barn]

Will the neighbor or guest be in the prototype?

[ionic spear]

nope

[hoary barn]

Ok

[untold grotto]

development has been stopped

[untold grotto]

ermm

actually its like 3-4 months

[sweet musk]

he wouldn't make a full world in 4 months

[untold grotto]

the gameplay is very different from what has been developed in the past

[untold grotto]

they didn't make the whole world anyway

its a test map which will be changed in future

[near meadow]

I really hope the guest sounds like this in hn3

This as the sound direction for the guest 🙏

You’d hear these types of sounds when he is in the forest

[neon ether]

[pine heron]

That's just Terrifying🥶

[restive oxide]

whats up with bigbird

[wintry zephyr]

Ah yes, guest with backpain and gray feathers

[plain sierra]

don't think so,hn inst horror anymore,i don't think that they will use audios like this in "cozy and eerie" game

[wintry zephyr]

Yeah never was

(no the alphas aren't horror bruh be fr 😭)

[plain sierra]

at least it defining as a horror

its gonna be even leass scarier

[austere jasper]

HN was never full horror,

but the original alphas are the closest we ever got to that

[wintry zephyr]

Id say HG is also close

[austere jasper]

Hgp especially IMO

atmosphere was crazy

[plain sierra]

hn2 alphas were peak,dont care scary or not but it had good atmosphere

[wintry zephyr]

HN would be a great horror game if used right tho

[wintry zephyr]

Fr

[plain sierra]

mostly i dont need horror,i need mysterious atmosphere

[wintry zephyr]

They also had good AI

(alpha 1.5 atleast)

[wintry zephyr]

True

[plain sierra]

not good but it was not stupid

crow did smth

soundtrack fire in all games

[wintry zephyr]

I think it would be way too weird to suddenly make a HN horror game when the franchise has been established as mostly family friendly

It would feel way too forced

[plain sierra]

we need smth that feels like hn2 alphas,we need that eerie atmosphere

[wintry zephyr]

HN3 will probably be the closest released HN game that we get that is close to a horror game

[plain sierra]

hope so

[wintry zephyr]

HN3 so far seems to have that

Which is good

[plain sierra]

bruh im no embeds

[plain sierra]

looking at screenshots it feels really good

hope it will have soundtrack like hn2 has

[wintry zephyr]

Imagine breaking inside a house and seeing a 6 feet tall guy with a neck bigger than a lightpole

And he's just staring at you

[plain sierra]

yeah thats the scariest

strange to see that Nikita says that hn3 isnt horror when on the poster we see the scariest sh*t in whole hn history

[wintry zephyr]

I mean that banner did look pretty eerie

Which is what the game is going for

So far it's doing a good job

[plain sierra]

bro if it will have eyes starin at you,it will be scary

like new style

[wintry zephyr]

What if big johnny has a really big forehead and he's bald

[plain sierra]

if its meaning of eerie,i prefer it

[plain sierra]

but i have one question,will all be like 7ft or its new creature?

bcse jacob has similar body shape

tall legs smol body

[wintry zephyr]

There will probably be like tall people

But not everyone

[plain sierra]

i dont like new body shapes,i think it should be used to creatures,not people, neighbor and jackob lookin weird with these long legs

[wintry zephyr]

Nah jacob looks fine

It's just like thin legs

The neighbor has thin legs

[plain sierra]

bruh hes body looks like a box with legs

[wintry zephyr]

He looks fine to me

[wintry zephyr]

The neighbor has always had thin legs tho they're just a bit more stylized here

[frosty gyro]

He has a glove which i assume to be theos

[wintry zephyr]

I think HN3 Theo design is inspired from teh books

Which looks very similar

[plain sierra]

he looks good but if his chest (body above legs sry for bad English) was bigger(longer) he would be good

[untold grotto]

thief

[wintry zephyr]

I think It's just the jacket that makes it look a bit weird

[wintry zephyr]

Intruder

[plain sierra]

mb,but i thing body should be a little bit bigger

longer

[near meadow]

Yeah but they can still make the guest sound like ths

Eerie right?

[plain sierra]

i just realised that eerie game has the scariest shi ive ever seen in hn

so everything can become true

[silk hawk]

Is there anything about devlog

[gentle pebble]

No not yet we will have to wait for sometime

[icy flicker]

i dont quite understand what happend recently can someone take the time to explain??

[frozen mauve]

lit most of the people i see break them

[untold grotto]

move on hn3 though

[frozen mauve]

k

u think the testplay has a ending or you just roam around houses (example signed)

i think not

cause the test play looks soo early

[untold grotto]

its kinda have a ending

also its not "testplay" or "playtest" its actual prototype

[frozen mauve]

really i thought nikitas goal is to make the game a sandbox

[untold grotto]

its for test AI and simple mechanics

[frozen mauve]

since the prototype looks GOOD and we only waited a couple of months so i think the game might be done sooner then i think (2027-2028)

[untold grotto]

yeah because its a prototype

its %0.1 of full game

[frozen mauve]

WHATTTT

Aint no way

[frosty gyro]

Yep

[frozen mauve]

wait did nikita said it himslef

[frosty gyro]

Yes?

[frozen mauve]

bro

[frosty gyro]

He said prototype is a shadow of a shadow of a shadow of a shadow of a shadow of the full game

[untold grotto]

it's literally not even a shadow of a shadow of a shadow of a full game

[untold grotto]

😠

[frosty gyro]

Mmm

[frozen mauve]

at this rate the game would be done in 250 years 🙃

(i asked gpt)

[untold grotto]

also

there will be a second prototype

they are currently working on it

[frozen mauve]

alr

the game is being deleveoped faster then gta 6

[untold grotto]

in the second prototype, the art style will be like the ones in the last message of the #work-in-progress channel

[frozen mauve]

forestish

[untold grotto]

at least they will test it

[frozen mauve]

Dude nikita is LOCKED in tbh

[untold grotto]

wym

[frozen mauve]

i mean that nikita is 1000000000% focused on this game

the game better not flop

i think improved jacob and iris will be in Prototype 2

[simple dragon]

nikita said they wont

[frozen mauve]

wym

[simple dragon]

the improved models arent going to be in prototype 2

[simple dragon]

.

[untold grotto]

probably not until alpha stage

[frozen mauve]

k

so what we got in prototype 1

a map

jacob and iris and signed

houses (def)

wiat

will the player be in prototype 1?

[simple dragon]

wdym "the player"

[frozen mauve]

[cunning yacht]

[frozen mauve]

all we need is the devlog 2

[cunning yacht]

[cunning yacht]

Is it playable

[quartz canopy]

[frozen mauve]

steam

[cunning yacht]

Bro can we play it or not

[frozen mauve]

[cunning yacht]

2 people are telling me the opposite things

[frozen mauve]

in steam

[cunning yacht]

Let me check

[quartz canopy]

😭😭its not out

we need 2nd devlog first

right after that we are meant to get prototype

[frozen mauve]

yeah thats what i said

[cunning yacht]

Bro

Alright

[frozen mauve]

.

[cunning yacht]

Will we be notified when its released and playable

[cunning yacht]

I said "can we play it" like 3 times and u said yes in every response

[frozen mauve]

[quartz canopy]

there will definetly be a ping in #announcements

[cunning yacht]

Alright

[frozen mauve]

i mean that we can play it when it comes out 😭

and nikita is planning prototype 2

[cunning yacht]

What's it even gonna have

[untold grotto]

its a simple test

[frozen mauve]

npcs and a new map

jacob and iris and signed

[untold grotto]

dont expect too much

[cunning yacht]

Ah okay

[frozen mauve]

yeah nikita said that its a "beaten up test play"

[untold grotto]

its basically the test of AI and simple mechanics

[cunning yacht]

How is the ai

[frozen mauve]

prob a new one

[cunning yacht]

I hope it does something cool

[untold grotto]

its a new ai

[frozen mauve]

get this

[cunning yacht]

Besides just, basic movement

Idk

[frozen mauve]

it can interact with other npcs

[cunning yacht]

Throw a brick at my head

[untold grotto]

but as a said its literally just a very rough sketch

0.1% of full game

[cunning yacht]

Is it gonna be scraped just like the burden man-

Bird*

[untold grotto]

hes not scrapped

hes still in hn3 btw

[frozen mauve]

the neighbor?

[untold grotto]

the guest

[frozen mauve]

oh yeah in wiki it siad that the guest is here

[cunning yacht]

Oh cool

[cunning yacht]

I mean in hn2

[frozen mauve]

hope hes more then 17 SECS OF SCREENTIME

[cunning yacht]

How they introduced him in the alpha, he had cool mechanics and everything

But in the full game, he wasent there at all

And neither was his mechanics

[frozen mauve]

def gonna be the same mechantics

[cunning yacht]

Theyvjust took the best chacter in my opinion out of the game

[frozen mauve]

in hn3

[frosty gyro]

Forest

[frozen mauve]

patch 9

[cunning yacht]

Could u interact with him

[frozen mauve]

i mean

[frosty gyro]

Hes an ai
