hn3-discussion

[tepid flicker]

The sky I totally understand

[blissful river]

Yeah, and it’s such a variation of different things it’s not like any other game will look like it.

[frosty summit]

100%

An asset flip will only be clarified as one if:
It's using demo maps
Everything is pre-made, nothing original

[tepid flicker]

But HN1, H&S, HN2 and HE have completely custom foliage made from the ground-up, so if they do end up sticking with these stock ones: I would consider it a downgrade.

[blissful river]

I don’t really agree, but I understand where you are coming from.

[tepid flicker]

Well then we shall leave it there then!

[blissful river]

Every single mesh also has a custom made material, so at least they did that.

[tepid flicker]

I understand what you mean too, and believe or not, I also don't really agree... 😅

[blissful river]

Yea. 🙃

[frosty summit]

anyway

i cant wait for devlog 2

im thinking it will be very in depth

since its taking a lot of time

which im happy with

[untold grotto]

well tB was looking for 2 technical artist

[frosty summit]

hmmmmmm

[untold grotto]

one beginner level one intermediate level

and probably they hired people

[frosty summit]

i seee

[cunning yacht]

made this into full concept

btw people that are mentioning guest in hn3 isnt actually guest. nikita as he said it was a new stranger

new people moving to town in raven brooks. will end up getting bad lucks

should i finish hello neighbor 3 peterson
or should i make jacob first.
(disclaimer: i dont work with tinybuild. im a 3dfanmodeler)

[muted karma]

looks good

[cunning yacht]

oh ok

[fickle thicket]

Finish Peterson model

There probably won’t even be one until prototype 2 or 3

Also devlog 2 is coming out on Friday/ weekend

[cunning yacht]

ok

[untold grotto]

wont be in prototype, will be in alpha

[cunning yacht]

do devlog 2 is where alpha starts

[muted karma]

yeah

[cunning yacht]

and neighbor model gets finished

thats cool

[untold grotto]

no

[cunning yacht]

oh

[untold grotto]

not sure they hired a character modeller

[cunning yacht]

hmm.

[untold grotto]

devlog 2 is showcase for prototype 1

right after devlog 2 prototype 1 will released

[cunning yacht]

ok

[muted karma]

and full concept art for neighbor

[cunning yacht]

thanks for info

[cunning yacht]

yeah. i wanna see how accurate from my full concept is. just wanna compare y'know

[plain sierra]

nah where is devlog

[cunning yacht]

just later

coming out friday or weekend and yes veronie said it

[muted karma]

we dont know what he has in his right eye but its probably a scarf

[cunning yacht]

the peterson concept?

[muted karma]

yeah

[rapid maple]

[plain sierra]

how do veronie know it?

no one said abt it

[muted karma]

and make peterson because we get jacobs model in a few days

[untold grotto]

no

i didnt

[cunning yacht]

oh hehe im deslyxic then

[untold grotto]

this guy said it

[muted karma]

kryptqn said prototype comes next week in steam fest

[untold grotto]

not me

[cunning yacht]

ok ill do it quicker

[untold grotto]

its my guess

[plain sierra]

imagine devlog 2 in june😭

[cunning yacht]

my guess is its going to be another week in my calculation

[chrome solstice]

"calculation"

[untold grotto]

well next week is basically steam next fest era

[rapid maple]

e

[cunning yacht]

wait. let me see the release date

on hn1 dev and 1.5

[untold grotto]

what

[cunning yacht]

and im going to calculate it accurately

[plain sierra]

what bro goin to calculate

[rapid maple]

Idk-

[chrome solstice]

Nah let them cook

[frozen mauve]

hi

[tough ivy]

maybe he is smart

[chrome solstice]

Maybe he's a genius who knows

[cunning yacht]

released on november 12 2024 dev 1
december 18 2024
dev 1.5 so let me decrease it

[untold grotto]

well its not same,

devlog 1 was for 2024 Halloween, and probably finished like october 20s

[tough ivy]

i hope he is i want to play hn3 prototype

[untold grotto]

alex delayed the announcements and episodes because he thought it would be a problem to release three episodes at the same time

[shadow nebula]

it won't be accurate because devlog 2 has been delayed already

since january

[untold grotto]

also devlog 1.5 was a emergency devlog

[chrome solstice]

He's going to "calculate" the shit out of the release date right now, just wait and see

[frozen mauve]

we are escaping the neighbor with this one 🗣️ 🔥

if its true

[untold grotto]

firstly devlog 2 was coming on december, then alex and Nikita had a call and made a devlog where nikita announced that patch 10 and all updates in general were canceled, cuz of this devlog 2 got delayed

[cunning yacht]

Thursday, 20 March 2025 is dev 2

[plain sierra]

nah

[shadow nebula]

why march?

[plain sierra]

patch 10 is coming

where is loafkat

[cunning yacht]

just calculating the dev 1 AND 1.5

[frozen mauve]

stop whining and wait

[untold grotto]

then in january, after Christmas break, nikita and his friends (?) rescued a dog named sherpa in montenegro, devlog 2 delayed to late january

[frozen mauve]

let nikita cook

[cunning yacht]

it was 37 days to make anew devlog

[untold grotto]

then nikita got sick and delayed to feb

it is illogical to make such a calculation

[frozen mauve]

ye

[cunning yacht]

yeah

[frozen mauve]

maybe even march

[plain sierra]

hes einstein 2.0

let him cook

[untold grotto]

well its filmed

[cunning yacht]

it takes him 1 month and 7 days to make a new devlog

[untold grotto]

like a week ago

[frozen mauve]

devlog 1.5 is a emergency

[cunning yacht]

ye

[frozen mauve]

maybe it takes 2 months to make one

[untold grotto]

no its not, even if Nikita finishes it, release part is on tB

[cunning yacht]

then it will be 2 months and 14 days then

[plain sierra]

devlog 2 never coming out

[frozen mauve]

the only reason why he made it to tell people about hn2 patch 10 not coming

[untold grotto]

also nikita said he want every in 5-8 week there will be new devlog episode

[chrome solstice]

Rip

[plain sierra]

patch 10 and devlog 2 collaboration

[untold grotto]

it was not him who should have made this statement, but someone else

[chrome solstice]

Devlog 2 is actually patch 10 part 2 les goooooo

[frozen mauve]

alex?

[untold grotto]

shrug

[plain sierra]

🔥

[frozen mauve]

k

[cunning yacht]

if devlog to never gets released less than mar202025
then it feels like its cancelled

[untold grotto]

why would it cancelled

its already filmed

[cunning yacht]

oh cool

[untold grotto]

and probably edited

they waiting for good date

[cunning yacht]

so it may be right now in our guess

[frozen mauve]

Its filmed 😭🙏

[cunning yacht]

thats the crying girl emoji meme. your missing a praying hands

[frozen mauve]

focus on hn3 plz

[cunning yacht]

ok

[cunning yacht]

shall i make theories

[frozen mauve]

k

[cunning yacht]

ok

i have a theory that jacob will be your partner and join you. if your friend with him

he doesnt invade houses

he works at a gas station

[frozen mauve]

not really

[untold grotto]

only in prototype

[cunning yacht]

iris may be his friend also

[frozen mauve]

maybe sibling cause they look alike

[chrome solstice]

I actually unironically think when the full game is out, you can actually make that happen.

[plain sierra]

hn3 was never a thing

patch 10 is comin

[cunning yacht]

you can throw npc with a box that would make you lose your friend

[frozen mauve]

in your dreams

[chrome solstice]

Joooo that's crazy

[cunning yacht]

this will increase the age of maturity

[untold grotto]

guys we all know hello neighbor 3 stands for patch ten

[cunning yacht]

the full game in hello neighbor 3 may break some promise if nikita left the development again

[frozen mauve]

no he wont

[cunning yacht]

how

[frozen mauve]

its his dream to make a game like this

[cunning yacht]

yeah

[untold grotto]

he probably wont

[cunning yacht]

just saying 🙂

[untold grotto]

if everything goes well I don't think he will leave

[frozen mauve]

80% no 20% yes

[untold grotto]

but only God knows....

[cunning yacht]

id be worried

[untold grotto]

time will tell

[untold grotto]

well hn2 is also inspired by his dream game

[cunning yacht]

if you wanna pass time. i recommend you to play your favorite games. while i pass time slow for finishing my model of peterson

[frozen mauve]

yeah but he needed a break

cause he worked at that time non stop

[untold grotto]

as he said, he never want start hello neighbor 2

[frozen mauve]

wanted?

[untold grotto]

?

[cunning yacht]

hello neighbor 4 will not exit if nikita is older and retired

[frozen mauve]

did he never wanted to start hn2 or want to start

[untold grotto]

hn1, h&s, sn were made without a break

[cunning yacht]

he couldnt take a break. he didnt want to start hello nrighbo2. it was his only choice

[frozen mauve]

THATS WHAT I SAID

[frozen mauve]

.

[daring gyro]

never forget that helloneighbor4.com got bought as a domain when helloneighbor3.com was bought too

[frozen mauve]

.

[untold grotto]

and they start working on Hello Guest while they also working on SN as a Assistant Team

well this is why he never wanted start on hn2

[cunning yacht]

i see

[untold grotto]

he wanted a break but they started hn2/hg without break

but well he didnt LEAVE tinybuild

[cunning yacht]

after hnhs shipped. work on hello neighbor 2 immdediately began

[untold grotto]

we can say that he only used annual leave

[cunning yacht]

ok

he was also kinda burned out

i think thats where he stopped

[untold grotto]

for working without a break

[cunning yacht]

ye

[frozen mauve]

yeah 7 years working non stop can prob burn u out

[untold grotto]

well its kinda uhhh

2014 - 2021

[cunning yacht]

7 years is a life sacrificer to have someone else have more fun

[untold grotto]

and after the hn2 launch tB and nikita had already started making plans for hn3

nikita start working on RBO in early 2023

[cunning yacht]

thats cool.
so nikita is the only guy who makes hello neighbor better

[untold grotto]

🤷🏻

[shadow nebula]

wait how do I play RBO because I heard you can still play it somehow

[frozen mauve]

the download has a virus prob

in arcive.com

[untold grotto]

if you have it on steam you can play it

[shadow nebula]

yeah I have it installed from steam

[untold grotto]

yeah you can play it with some legally (?) methods

[frozen mauve]

wait its still there???

i see rbo

in steam

[pulsar sentinel]

go download it on the internet archive

[shadow nebula]

it's not visible, I just didn't uninstall it since 1 year

[untold grotto]

if you joined the playtest its remains on your library

[pulsar sentinel]

It works

[untold grotto]

if you deleted it I can't say anything 🙃

[frozen mauve]

ohhh yea

i remember i downloaded it

[untold grotto]

it remained in my library because I didn't delete it

[frozen mauve]

but no one playing 😢

[cunning yacht]

hn3 remagined

[untold grotto]

i found a lobby like uhhh

4 days ago

i guess

[shadow nebula]

I think I did because when I look through my library it's not there

but it's still installed

[untold grotto]

its renamed to hello neighbor 3 playtest

search it with that

[cunning yacht]

oh ok

[shadow nebula]

hn2 playtest shows up

[untold grotto]

well idk

[untold grotto]

its on my library 🙂‍↔️

[shadow nebula]

Idk why I even removed it

[frozen mauve]

storage?

im a good roblox studio dude so maybe i can recreate rbo

[untold grotto]

well i remember there was a comments in rbo trailer says that its roblox

then alex commented like "ITS NOT ROBLOX"

[shadow nebula]

I mean it really looks like roblox

[frozen mauve]

bro only has hn games

[untold grotto]

he searched hello

[shadow nebula]

no that's when I search "hello"

[frozen mauve]

it looks like guests secrets

ok i opened studio recreating rbo shouldent be that hard right?

its pvp

[wooden vapor]

It seems to me that the prototype may be presented on February 24 at the new Steam festival. After all, if Nikita has already made a devlog, he won’t release it only because Tb doesn’t allow it yet

[woven lodge]

Or Nikita accidentally put his credit card number in the Prototype but removing it breaks everything.

[chrome solstice]

That seems logical yeah

[white epoch]

Pre-Prototype

[untold grotto]

no its prototype

[cunning yacht]

made a hair

improve textures from his coat

[solemn hatch]

gta6 before hn3 prototype?

[cunning yacht]

idk

hello neighbor 3 after gta6 ithink

[pulsar sentinel]

Day 4 of saying devlogs gonna come out today until it comes out

[shadow nebula]

I won't be surprised if the real model will look similar to this

[cunning yacht]

yeah. im making tghis very accurate. im just trying. im aleways looking closer and similar to the shape of its body

[cunning yacht]

Bro there blue balling us so hard

They said we will be able to play it early feb

Its now mid Feb going into late feb😭

[untold grotto]

well its not like "we finished it and we will release it with the click of a button"

[cunning yacht]

Yk

neighbor in sideways

[tough ivy]

i thing his neck is broken

[cunning yacht]

its fine

just like signed

wait. is the neighbor signe- oh wait. i tought i was having theory. nvm

[wooden vapor]

1.The devlog will definitely be released today
2.If not, read point 1 again tomorrow

[muted karma]

why?

[clever pond]

because

[wooden vapor]

Dude, this is a joke, like if the devlog hasn’t come out, read point 1 again tomorrow.

[untold grotto]

read point 1 again tomorrow

[wooden vapor]

oh

Looks like I'm too dumb to express my point correctly on the first try.

[frosty gyro]

I will.

[tough ivy]

wait TODAY!?

or TOMORROW

this is crazy news

[untold grotto]

well no

[oblique parcel]

It might be tomorrow tbf

[serene hemlock]

Well, seems like not today

[serene hemlock]

lets just say this week

[oblique parcel]

Yeah i Think it Will be personally

[serene hemlock]

hopefully not this weekend, cuz im gone

[tough ivy]

i heard this week but i heard 28.2 too or something like that

[muted karma]

yeah

[serene hemlock]

I just pray that it wont be this weekend

[tough ivy]

maybe 23:59

xD

[cunning yacht]

making progress

[restive oxide]

#modding-discussion

[oblique parcel]

Unless its next week It Will likely be tomorrow since you know its still a work day

[restive oxide]

I hope

[serene hemlock]

why was this message blocked?

[cunning yacht]

maybe its romance

[serene hemlock]

??!!!

[restive oxide]

Cuz of the custom small text

[cunning yacht]

yeah

[serene hemlock]

this bot is kidding...

or it's not even a bot... idr

[agile kelp]

Not a mod bro

[untold grotto]

its next week trust

[serene hemlock]

i wish

[cunning yacht]

@serene hemlock . i replicated this. this could be useful for your yt

[muted karma]

in steam fest

[untold grotto]

and please not in weekend

[serene hemlock]

Wednesday afternoon time of CET +1, i beg

[restive oxide]

Whatever #fangame-discussion then

[frosty gyro]

I like it any day of the week

[muted karma]

me too

[serene hemlock]

im a content creator, i need to record it exactly once it gets released. So that's why i pray it wont be this weekend ...
My hopes havent been higher, ever

[untold grotto]

well im not in home this weekend

[serene hemlock]

me too

[untold grotto]

i wont have access to my PC

i cant

[open plaza]

same

[serene hemlock]

the gods and overlords of HN, you see? So many (not rly) people on their knees (including me) begging you to not schedule the release of Prototype 1 on weekend T_T

[agile kelp]

No, he’s just showing off his hn3 model

[muted karma]

i hope they realese in steam fest it can be cool and i dont have eccess pc in weekends

[restive oxide]

I think it's for a fan game

But idk

None of your business anyways so stop tryna prove me wrong

[serene hemlock]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/554984861748822016/1013515997082288208/image0-2.gif

[agile kelp]

Just let him show his hn3 model in the hn3 chat bro

[cunning yacht]

me? (im almost complete about the unofficial hn3 neighbor)

[muted karma]

cool

[cunning yacht]

the problem is. i need to add bones so you guys can rig it for your fangame.

im publishing it on sketchfab

[delicate sigil]

Riggings pretty simple once you get the hang of it

[restive oxide]

HA

I was right

[agile kelp]

??

[restive oxide]

He just said it's for a fan game

[cunning yacht]

man i hope nikita talks soon so he clears some stuff about the devlog, this week has just been pure "devlog today trust!"

[agile kelp]

He said it can be used for one

But still

[restive oxide]

‎

[untold grotto]

no

[muted karma]

yaay

[restive oxide]

‎

[steep remnant]

I hope the prototype releases on the Weekend

[bright rain]

Fake News

[steep remnant]

im on a Trip and I get back on saturday

if I was Home I would want it out now ofc

[delicate sigil]

if the prototype releases this month im happy

[bright rain]

This guy thinks he's Him

There could be delays so you have to wait and see if they change anything.

[untold grotto]

he just said hope what are you on

[near meadow]

Tommorow

It has to be tommorow

[bright rain]

I'm just saying that they might delay it and the Devlog another month. It depends if things go right.

[near meadow]

A very high chance

Its a very high chance for tommorow

But not 100%

[tranquil ice]

'Not today not tomorrow'

[near meadow]

Do NOT get ur hopes uo

[tranquil ice]

They once said

[near meadow]

Lol

“Wait is not long”

Hmmmmmmm

[tranquil ice]

And that one quote means not a week aswell ig

[bright rain]

We just need
Nikita to take his time with this stuff.

[untold grotto]

well its alr filmed

like one week ago

[tranquil ice]

There probs waiting for a good time to post

[bright rain]

Also, releasing the Prototype this weekend makes no sense. I'd say they are releasing it 1 or two weeks from now.

[daring gyro]

1 week would be criminal

[untold grotto]

why does it make no sense

gimme a one LOGICAL reason

[bright rain]

Look, I'm just predicting what could happen.

[tranquil ice]

Since yall r predicting ima say 25-27th

[bright rain]

It makes no sense because it feels like it would have been rushed. I need them to take their time to cook.

[untold grotto]

prototype is already done

they even finished the QA tests

[bright rain]

I mean HN2 is not a bad game because of characters. HN2 is a bad game because the AI sucked, promised features were scrapped, and it was poorly made.

[tranquil ice]

What does HN2 have to do with the HN3 Prototype

[bright rain]

I'm trying to explain what happens when you rush out a game and the game ends up being an abomination.

[delicate sigil]

hn2 had way more complicated issues than being rushed

[tranquil ice]

Yeah but like he said the Prototype is done

[delicate sigil]

it was rushed maybe but the causes of it being rushed are issues that hn3 probably wont have

[untold grotto]

well the protoype is just for test AI and simple mechanics

[tranquil ice]

And also a Prototype is not a full game lmao

[untold grotto]

yea

[peak solar]

it was a mix of a lot of things

[night vigil]

Not even close yeah

[bright rain]

I know the prototype is not the final game but when the final game gets released, it better be not be rushed. Because if it does, then I'd say this was a laughable series.

[delicate sigil]

mhm, i doubt hn3 will have any similar issues

[peak solar]

I feel the same

it's being made with a small team, too

unlike HN2, which

[night vigil]

We'll see won't we

[peak solar]

I heard had almost 100 people on EGS at one point

I get having a team to make a game, but that's way too much to me unless it's a big-budget game with like

a ton of stuff

[untold grotto]

yeah the hn2 team was like uhhhh AAA games' team

but now they only 15 people

[daring gyro]

The loop must happen once again

[delicate sigil]

how long did the big team stay?

My guess would be somewhere inbetween 1.5 and beta

[bright rain]

You know what they should have done. They should have done spin-off games that are set in the game universe but not set in Raven Brooks. basically, we would get a game about Theo's parents before Theo was born.

[oblique parcel]

Well imo it kinda should be big? Cause it was so ambitious

[peak solar]

I mean, it was

the game was meant to have a lot of working parts

but then the game became Linear at some point

[oblique parcel]

Yeah but I do hope they are able to expand the team again overtime cause of how ambitious hn3 seem to be

[bright rain]

If the books were continued, then we would have gotten a trilogy about Theo's childhood in Raven Brooks.

[grim lark]

Wait what

[cunning yacht]

wait. i couldnt. the pc hello neighbor bones are complex to replicate. there is no way i can make it

[muted karma]

just give the model im okay i can rig it

[cunning yacht]

ok

the last thing i need to do is to add tongue

do you need a blend file

[shadow nebula]

that is actually terrifying

[cunning yacht]

yeaheh

idk why its reflective

ill find that issue

[delicate sigil]

You have to edit the material smoothness or something

[cunning yacht]

is it working now. there where specular isssue

[cunning yacht]

it doesnt show reflections in edit mode

oh i see

[shadow nebula]

not yet

first the devlog 2

then immediately after it the prototype

no one knows

people were speculating february 24th

yeah patch 10 is cancelled

[untold grotto]

patch 10 isnt cancelled cuz

they never started working on patch 10

patch 10 was never a thing

[agile kelp]

Yeah they did

Ruined town photos

[untold grotto]

well its a cut content for patch 9

[agile kelp]

But when patch 9 came out they turned into teasers for patch 10

[plain sierra]

patch 10 is coming

[restive oxide]

No it's not lol

[blissful river]

.

[untold grotto]

well i have a proof but cant say here

because yk yk

i don't wanna be scolded

[fast mason]

it was a thing

you just cant have it

[plain sierra]

jk

[untold grotto]

🤷🏻

[daring gyro]

big duck

[sour quail]

Personally Im glad they stopped working on it for now cuz it's kind of a mess anyways, I think we need a fresh start with hello neighbor 3

[pulsar sentinel]

i completely agree

[mortal dove]

hn fans in the year 2084 still thinking that patch 10 is right around the corner

[plain sierra]

liked this pic

dont have embeds

[mortal dove]

jokes aside I miss Quentin dude deserved better 😔

[plain sierra]

Kinda miss loafKat

[mortal dove]

doubt the hn3 protag will have the same charm as quentin 😔

quentin was incompetent but you couldnt help but root for him

[agile kelp]

Wait what happened to him

[plain sierra]

he got banned

[agile kelp]

Really???

Damn

what he do

[plain sierra]

yup

idk

[verbal flint]

my best video ever

[mortal dove]

indeed

[untold grotto]

well idk we're allowed say that

some like uhhh

a joking insult was taken seriously

[fast mason]

i swear you have said this lke 50 times now

[daring forge]

lmao

[mortal dove]

I have not

[foggy plaza]

Anyone up for RBO?

[rose inlet]

is hello neighbor 3 even out??

I thought they were still working on it

didn't hello neighbor 2 come out like a year ago?

[blissful river]

No. It’s very far from being released. It’s only in the prototype stages.

[rose inlet]

that's what i thought

[barren saddle]

He’s so silly 😔

[cunning yacht]

i wonder what neighbor's house would look like

this was drawn last day

[serene hemlock]

2 years T_T

[cunning yacht]

hn3]

[frosty summit]

its about to be 3 soon

[serene hemlock]

Wdym, soon?

I mean the Full Game. Not Beta

[frosty summit]

oh mb

but yeah

it will become 3

crazy

[serene hemlock]

Honestly, yea

[frosty summit]

and the beta will be 3 too

[serene hemlock]

Time flies fast

[frosty summit]

it was crazy that 2022 was 3 years ago

batdr and hn2 feel like yesterday

ok back on topic now

devlog 2 bouta be fire

[near meadow]

Hope its friday man

Strangely, nikita hasn’t interacted in a while

Something must be coming up

[muted karma]

yeah

[low gate]

it is friday

shall it be today

[neon ether]

It just friday...

Just day like another days

[oblique parcel]

I do think it’s likely today but we will see

[frosty summit]

i dont think so...

[low gate]

I feel this week or monday feels like a definite

[frosty summit]

must be

otherwise nikita blueballed us hard

[low gate]

Its tinybuild who has the devlog and are waiting to release

[frosty summit]

so alex is the one blueballing us ig

[low gate]

my thoughts are that they are trying to get a steam page ready perhaps then release it

[frosty summit]

cuz it MUST have finished filming by now

[low gate]

yes it has

[frosty summit]

steam doesnt take too long to approve

[low gate]

might be the steam fest thingy

[frosty summit]

i tried publishing my own builds once

approved in 1 day

[frosty summit]

to build hype maybe

[low gate]

the hypes dying though

fast

as much as we wanna see it

devlog 1.5 released 2 months ago which wasnt really a devlog on HN3

[frosty summit]

shouldve been an hn2 devlog

[low gate]

well as no one is developing hn2 that wouldnt make sense

[frosty summit]

oh yeah

[untold grotto]

devlog 1.5 was a emergency devlog

[frosty summit]

yeah

[untold grotto]

and kinda unnecessary

[frosty summit]

but

[low gate]

it was important tho

[untold grotto]

nikita wasn't the one who was supposed to announce that HN2 was cancelled

[frosty summit]

nikita couldve just put it in devlog 2

[untold grotto]

well no

in 8 min devlog

patch 10 only takes 30 seconds

[frosty summit]

devlog 1.5 seems half baked in editing too

its just nikita walking around with some cuts here and there

[low gate]

yes but it explained a lot of other things that went on behind the scenes i feel it was important to know it cleared up a lot of stuff wed still be bickering about now if it wasnt said

[frosty summit]

ig yeah

[lusty dove]

No

It was about chossing the correct way

[frosty summit]

i said editing wise

[frosty summit]

ik it has a message

[lusty dove]

The style of all theese devlogs

[frosty summit]

but i thought a deeper meaning could be conveyed to it

[lusty dove]

Is rouge

[lusty dove]

Not professional

On purpose

It gives some HN vibes too

[frosty summit]

100%

[untold grotto]

ita finished

[frosty summit]

even more excited now

[untold grotto]

if there is no second filming, its finished

[oblique parcel]

I feel like it’s probably done as well like the devlog by now unless something got it delayed again

[untold grotto]

well its finished cuz nikita currently working on p2 w/ Alexander,Andis, Anna in late evenings

[daring gyro]

Yaroslav succesfully ignored

[untold grotto]

well i didn't mention the whole team

[daring gyro]

then why mention more than one person

[untold grotto]

because they (Alexander, Anna, Andis) were usually online in the evenings

[low gate]

Why is there 250,0000 people with a name beginning with the letter A at tinybuild

[frosty summit]

because a cool

a great

a amazing

[daring gyro]

you can't spell tinybuild without the letter a

[frosty summit]

You can

[crystal hare]

and who was supposed to do it?

[untold grotto]

alex or someone from tB, but not nikita

[crystal hare]

why do you think so?

[untold grotto]

he didnt even worked in hn2's full game

[crystal hare]

hm interesting

[sterile belfry]

Is Nikita's music gonna be in HN3?

Because damn.. I mean imagine having his soundtracks as ambient tracks..

[frosty gyro]

Nikita and the composer of hn2 are working together to make the ost

[sterile belfry]

Woah! Okay that sounds really good.. I'd say HN 2's composer can really nail the chase tracks and stuff like that if we're gonna have it.

But I think we will have chase tracks, Mr. Peterson just can't be in a game without them. I definitely hope they lean more on the horror aspects, especially in Peterson's house..

[untold grotto]

nikita and siarhei working together

person who writes the osts is siarhei

[rose inlet]

Oh 😭

[agile kelp]

WHO ARE YOU

[gentle pebble]

Hopefully today it comes it is the perfect day to play it

[cunning yacht]

Huh?

[shadow nebula]

I hope

[gentle pebble]

The prototype and Devlog 2

[cunning yacht]

Oh right, I forgot abt that stuff

Soo it should come out in January and its coming this month right?

[untold grotto]

dont think it will release today

[untold grotto]

firstly it was december

then tB and nikita having a call, they decided to make a emergency devlog about patch 10 and generally updates about hn2

then it got delayed january

after christmas break nikita rescued a dog

and it happened in different country

nikita had to travel back and forth between two countries for several days

then he got sick and delayed it to feb

its basically devlog 2 lore

[silk hawk]

So why Nikita doesn't make a devlog, it's been 2 weeks since he said the prototype was ready

[untold grotto]

he filmed it

its on editing stage or tB waiting for good date

[tough ivy]

a good date is 21.2.2025

[agile basin]

good date is 22.2.2222

[grim lark]

A good date is 23.2.2562

[cunning yacht]

A good date is 24.2.4754

[shadow nebula]

february 30

[plain sierra]

nah

devlog 2 coming on 05.05.5000

or in

idc

[frosty summit]

a good date is 22.12.9999

[tough ivy]

nah

what

99.98.9999

[low gate]

Hype is dying please release teenybeld

[tough ivy]

why

hype

is it coming today or when else i keep hearing something different

i meant yeah hype is dying

anyway

i wait

[earnest cape]

There shouldn’t be too much hype.

[delicate sigil]

Yeah it's just a prototype

too much hype and people are bound to go "Why is there so little content grrrr!!!!!!!!"

[untold grotto]

cant wait for playin hn3 walking sim 🔥

[daring gyro]

Hello Neighbor 2 Alpha 2 fans: awesomesauce!

[pastel basin]

nikita is online

🙏

[delicate sigil]

He was yesterday aswell

dont think it means much

[low gate]

Devlog

[delicate sigil]

The devlog will include a prototype

[low gate]

Yep but im talking about the devlog

[tough ivy]

yeah but all of us wait for the devlog 2 release because than we know that prototype is coming

[untold grotto]

it literally means NOTHING

he's just working

its his job

[delicate sigil]

Yep he's online everyday I believe

[untold grotto]

yea like every tB members

since most of tB work from home, they use discord as for communication

[delicate sigil]

wrong channel

[bitter meadow]

oh im sorry

[mystic pond]

Hn3 ?!!I just saw this channel

[vagrant notch]

Every single early build released in this franchise has been fire, the hype is very warrented.

[stuck lynx]

It’s just gonna be a walking sim

[untold grotto]

its not a demo

its actual dev-prototype

[vagrant notch]

Did i say it was?

[untold grotto]

well its not even have a story or cutsecene

and it wont be fire

[stuck lynx]

I’m excited for the prototype but don’t be surprised when the game is just

Walking

[vagrant notch]

Well of course you would say that, almost every message you've ever sent as a reply to me is you being a killjoy.

[restive oxide]

And a little bit of NPC interacting

Not much tho

[untold grotto]

well im just being realistic

[stuck lynx]

That too

[untold grotto]

well they wont release trailer for hn3

[tough ivy]

yeah but devlog 2

and now i see the king is watching

[delicate sigil]

yeah its a different tinybuild game

those exist

[restive oxide]

Not YET

They will eventually

[untold grotto]

yep

but not soon

cuz nikita wants 0 scripted thingy

[vagrant notch]

Your not even being realistic, your always wrong.

[untold grotto]

well you will see then

prototype is literally walking simulator

[vagrant notch]

Not sure where you got that information, but it doesn't really matter, it's still gonna be fun, i really doubt this is gonna be the only build in the entire franchise that isn't good.

[frosty gyro]

a semblance of a storyline

[untold grotto]

well i didn't say its bad

its actual dev prototype, refined to public though

[vagrant notch]

Of course it's the dev prototype what else would it be?

[untold grotto]

it was not for PUBLIC

nikita wants to give fans to play something

[vagrant notch]

I didn't say that it wasn't true.

[low gate]

Grammazing

[untold grotto]

what are you on then

[vagrant notch]

Me? my bed right now.

[untold grotto]

🤫

[vagrant notch]

Like you all haven't made grammer mistakes 💀

[muted karma]

signed is signed bakery is baked and jacob is sigma

[untold grotto]

well that message was for me

[stuck lynx]

Truth

[vagrant notch]

Oh i thought he was talking to me lol

[frosty gyro]

⬆️

[untold grotto]

literally just typed random words because I didn't care at that moment

[vagrant notch]

Well i get what your saying.

[untold grotto]

but you all know what I mean

[vagrant notch]

Kinda excited to see what the game looks like, so “just walking” is alright.

[muted karma]

yeah

[delicate sigil]

yeah nikita said he is making the prototypes just to show fans that what is being promised is actually a thing

not to have a real "game"

[muted karma]

juw

[vagrant notch]

And yes i know it's gonna look different later, but from the images we have, it looks really cool.

[delicate sigil]

I wont deny the prototype might be really cool but dont be too dissapointed if it ends up not living up to your expectaions

[tough ivy]

ok i have nh very honest question when is devlog 2 coming out approximately it was told to me the other day this week but it is already friday

[delicate sigil]

We dont know sometime soon appereantly

[untold grotto]

its never confirmed to this week though

[vagrant notch]

I don't really have any expectations outside of it being good.

[tough ivy]

yes, but it has to be soon

[vagrant notch]

I mean, i'd like it if there was an actual house level, (this is HELLO NEIGHBOR we're talking about) but i'm not gonna go in with that expectation.

[frosty gyro]

i cant wait for devlog 2s self contained story

[steep remnant]

could be next month

idk

[untold grotto]

well in prototype 1 there is not much house invade thing

its prototype 2s gameplay element

[muted karma]

what if they make prototype limited people

[delicate sigil]

heavily doubt theyll do that

[vagrant notch]

That's a bad idea, most of us wouldn't get to play.

[untold grotto]

lets make it exclusive for those who joined in the rbo playtest

[vagrant notch]

Well i didn't so no let's not 💀

[untold grotto]

damn keyboard

[muted karma]

he said; Of course and also explain a bit in devlog. But there still be people who think that this is basically the whole game. No way to avoid that. Will see, maybe will limit the amount of people or something.

[vagrant notch]

There are many ways to avoid that.

Putting a warning would have the same affect without disappointing your whole fanbase.

[untold grotto]

that's what I said to Nikita, he replied with the quote from Talking Orangutan

[untold grotto]

that one was answer for it

[daring gyro]

people think rbo is a full game despite it being plastered with work in progress

[vagrant notch]

Well that's a very very small number of people, it's not worth leaving the people who have been waiting over month for this in the dust.

Most of us are smart enough to know what “prototype” entails.

[daring gyro]

you'd think the amount is relatively small i tell you there's more people than you think

i would not be surprised if the prototype is limited to some people

[plain sierra]

another week of waiting

yay

[untold grotto]

but some people are too stupid to understand this

also

pretty sure there will be people who won't like the prototype cus there is no the neighbor

[delicate sigil]

Isnt the neighbor gonna be in hn3?

We got some parts of his new design

[pastel basin]

yeah

[vagrant notch]

Eventually, but probably not in the prototype, there might not be any gameplay involving the house.

[untold grotto]

he wont be in prototype

[delicate sigil]

yeah I was talking about the full game.

[untold grotto]

accidentally wrote game instead of prototype

[vagrant notch]

Well it is a game, just not one that's anywhere near finished.

[plain sierra]

im waiting for devlog to see something new

[untold grotto]

also will get the neighbors full design in devlog 2

[vagrant notch]

Maybe it'll be better, cuz honestly i wasn't a fan of the HN2 design.

[plain sierra]

but devlog is somewhere in backrooms

[untold grotto]

it will be far from original design though

[arctic pecan]

what

[untold grotto]

especially the other part of the face

[woven lodge]

I imagine the HN3 prototype will probably be close to the Hello Guest prototype.

[untold grotto]

<@&1162799252192379000>

[shadow nebula]

atleast they improved the links XD

[hidden oak]

thanks for telling

[serene hemlock]

he tried lol

[cunning yacht]

is the prototype today

[agile kelp]

no

[cunning yacht]

ok is it tomorrow

[agile kelp]

we dont know

probably not though

[cunning yacht]

ok

[untold grotto]

its next week

[low gate]

The most painful thing i think is knowing that were close to getting it so its at the point where its fair to say "It might be today" then we dissapoint ourselves

But people are saying on monday because of a steam thing so

[untold grotto]

yeah i was one of those who said

still believe it

[serene hemlock]

Question of the month

[serene hemlock]

No please NO!!!

[delicate sigil]

Have eerie guest ever released content on weekends?

[untold grotto]

well then its this weekend

[untold grotto]

dont remember

lemme checek

[serene hemlock]

i dont want it! NO NO NO

[low gate]

Multiple episodes of the show

[serene hemlock]

Though i wouldnt mind, if it would be in the evening of Sunday

[low gate]

What is this devlog about generally

Not just HN3 of course

[untold grotto]

they released hn 2 alpha 1.5

in weekend

[delicate sigil]

Interesting so theres a chance

[low gate]

Have they ever released a prototype for HN before?

[delicate sigil]

not a big one but a chance

[untold grotto]

hgp

[delicate sigil]

Rbo

[low gate]

Oh yeah rbo

i forgor about HG Prototype

With the stupid texturless quentin

[untold grotto]

but

when we look at it, most of the builds and games are released on Wednesdays or Tuesdays

[delicate sigil]

Yeah I remember tuesday was a day they would launch stuff

[plain sierra]

of the year

[plain sierra]

Seeing ts(this) message third week in a row🔥 🔥 🔥

[woven lodge]

It's in two months.

[untold grotto]

well create a list about it (kind of sociopathic but I have a lot of free time so)

monday = 2
tuesday = 6
wednesday = 5
thursday = 10
friday = 4
saturday = 2
sunday = 2

[delicate sigil]

oh wow that list is surprising

[untold grotto]

its mixed builds and fgs launch

[mystic pond]

Yo

[solemn hatch]

if it isn't next week i'll change my pfp in a waifu

[tight mesa]

is the devlog out yet

[tender stump]

no

[tight mesa]

sad

[frozen mauve]

dang wheres everybody fr

[frozen mauve]

😈

[frozen mauve]

so thursday is the best chance of the devlog or wat

[untold grotto]

no

[delicate sigil]

Its just on which days things have released in the past

[earnest cape]

Yeah but we’re talking about an internal prototype, just because it seems cool doesn’t mean it should have high expectations.

[blissful river]

Doesn’t change anything. Walking sims are fire 🔥

[earnest cape]

HN community the only community to be hyped for an internal prototype build.

[vagrant notch]

Well i didn't specify any expectations.

[blissful river]

Yepp

🙌

[vagrant notch]

Well to be fair, HN is one of the only ones that makes all it's wip builds available to the public.

Other series don't do that very often.

We get to see the games development in real time.

[rose inlet]

I'm gonna look like your pfp tomorrow

[pulsar sentinel]

im gonna start tweaking if the prototype doesn't come out this weekend

what happened to late january💀 💀 💀

[untold grotto]

nikita rescued a dog

then he got sick

this is why it delayed to february

[earnest cape]

Which I still stand makes no sense to release a dev build to the public, I get that for HN3 they are trying to be as open as possible but it still doesn’t make much sense, it’s also been a contributor to expectations for the FG with the past games. Either way though I’m still gonna enjoy being able to try out the prototype build when it’s released.

[tepid flicker]

If I were in charge, I'd actually just forget about releasing Prototype #1 altogether (which has been repeatedly claimed to be extremely barebones and was completed months ago) and just release Prototype #2 (which won't be as barebones and also brand new) when it's ready and just call it Hello Neighbor 3 Prototype.

[peak solar]

To me, for HN3, it's more like

imagine you order a cake from someone, and they have to bake it from scratch

instead of not knowing what's gonna happen to your cake in the span of a day or two

(Restaurant changes management, cake gets dropped on the floor, ingredients poisoned, building randomly collapses so they have to rebuild it)

you see it happen from start to finish

[vagrant notch]

If the original games early builds weren't released to the public hn would not have much of a fandom.

[untold grotto]

its not same

you are comparing a pre Alpha/Alpha 1 and a prototype

[vagrant notch]

The prototype will eventually become an alpha, it's just the beginning.

[untold grotto]

we all know it

and what does this have to do with the topic lmao

[vagrant notch]

Well they were saying there's no reason to release stuff like that, meanwhile the whole reason the fandom exists is because of early builds.

[untold grotto]

fandom exists cuz of pre alpha and alpha 1 (and i doubt it lmao)

which has more content than protoype

[vagrant notch]

The topic wasn't really the prototype specifically.

[tepid flicker]

I think they're using a new map/level?

[oblique parcel]

Yeah they are

[earnest cape]

That is true, but if they weren’t there would be no comparing and extra hate towards the first game, HN2 though just flat out shouldn’t have released its early builds as it negatively impacted the game a lot.

[untold grotto]

well yeah what was the point of releasing a build which made one year ago

[tepid flicker]

What actually negatively impacted HN2 (and arguably HN1) were the lies put into the numerous trailers, screenshots, key arts and descriptions...

[untold grotto]

and while youre working on a next build which has a different gameplay loop different story etc

[vagrant notch]

Well i'm not sure what to say, develop your games better, don't make awful decisions.

[untold grotto]

this is not something they choose, buddy

[untold grotto]

"nikita, are you going to make the game bad on purpose?" ahh message

[vagrant notch]

The pre alpha obviously shouldn't have better gameplay then the full release.

that's on them.

[earnest cape]

The builds were filled with extra content even though it was a dev build for testing and people treated it like a comparison for the FG, obviously the alpha builds had more elements than the FG so people treated it like its better (Which the alphas aren’t either way).

[peak solar]

did someone ping me?

[oblique parcel]

I accidentally ghost pinged you yes I changed my mind on the message I wrote

[vagrant notch]

Worse isn't bad.

[earnest cape]

A good example here is Halo Infinite, I use this game a ton for examples but 80% of the content they were working on didn’t make it into the FG but you don’t see anyone mentioning that because they never talked about it nor shared their early builds for public, because yknow that’s really weird and not normal to give out your builds to the public.

[oblique parcel]

Still hn2 didn’t end up like it was said to be and they didn’t fix the descriptions on many websites

That’s the problem they didn’t fix it except for steam description

[vagrant notch]

The problem is that they develop games backwards.

[earnest cape]

One of many, but I see so many people comparing the alpha builds to the FG and it’s just so bad.

[vagrant notch]

Make a pretty good build that'd be easy to continue updating, and throw it all away in place of.... nothing.

[earnest cape]

Again, I will never truly understand even when they explain it, why would you release your actual developer builds, why not just have playtest, demos, for a limited time.

[oblique parcel]

I just hope they don’t change direction that much again which they don’t plan too but you never know

[vagrant notch]

So you'd prefer we never got the pre alpha, alpha 1 or alpha 2?

[vagrant notch]

The fandom litterally would not exist without these being available.

[earnest cape]

This is reminding me of how they milked one more build for preorders calling it a “Beta”

[earnest cape]

Oh no the first game is alright it was their first time.

Every other game after that I’ll never understand.

Again it’s completely alien to release dev builds to the public.

[oblique parcel]

It’s to gain feedback from fans through?

[vagrant notch]

Just because it's uncommon doesn't mean it isn't a good thing to do.

[earnest cape]

Again, make a playtest, don’t give your developer builds with all the stuff you put in it that might not make it.

[vagrant notch]

You can test different things and see how players respond before fully implementing it, you can get feedback in the middle of development instead of after the full release, and you can get people hyped, their just not doing it right.

[oblique parcel]

Tbf they say that a lot that stuff might not make it

[untold grotto]

but

the builds were released like after one year

[earnest cape]

Yeah, but not everyone sees that, not everyone is in the Discord to see them say that, people are gonna go into the prototype and 100% think, oh yeah this is gonna be the FG.

[oblique parcel]

I still want a fully open development though

[untold grotto]

you are releasing a build that has been done for 1 year, and you have finished a few builds in the meantime

then wheres the feedbacks

[earnest cape]

Again so do I, it’s a good move and good for direction but it shouldn’t be too open.

[earnest cape]

Right I agree with that, but again, make a playtest or a deep dive like they did for HN2 showing off the game.

[vagrant notch]

So don't make the full game worse 💀

[earnest cape]

Exactly, people will no matter what see something that isn’t the same and feel it’s worse.

HN1 and 2 both suffered from this a lot.

I still to this day hear and see people talk about how the alphas are better for each game constantly being compared.

I will say this again and this is the last time, there’s a very obvious reason why most of almost every dev team doesn’t just release their builds to the public.

[vagrant notch]

No they didn't, it wasn't because they were different it's because they were objectively worse on every single level then earlier builds, that's not to say they weren't good, but they need to not make that mistake again.

[earnest cape]

I will tell you this now, HN2 FG is better than the alphas, it just is, but no matter what people are gonna prefer the alphas and see it as better.

An issue I just hope HN3 doesn’t have to face even though it seems it will.

Anyways this is getting really debating

Ahem…

Wanted to mention about the generator changing in that teaser feels strange and I’m unsure why it did?

[earnest cape]

It started with what seemed to be the generator model they made and switched to a different model.

[vagrant notch]

I mean, i could on forever about why your wrong, but your entitled to your opinion.

[earnest cape]

It happened after it went off though.

[earnest cape]

Same to you, I could argue about it all day but everyone has their opinions.

[earnest cape]

Anyone have an explanation to this?

[vagrant notch]

Changing?

[earnest cape]

Pay attention to the generator

It just changes

[vagrant notch]

I'm not a pro when it comes to this stuff, but it seems like he only had the animation finished for the red generator, not the blue one.

[earnest cape]

Possibly, my assumption was that after shutting off it went into a new state that hasn’t been fully worked on.

[peak solar]

Yeah, it's just a "destroyed" version that it switched to

Nikita said a while ago that they were testing generator destruction

they probably just used the RBO Generator as a placeholder for the destroyed generator

[rigid tendon]

Hello

[earnest cape]

Right, wonder if there’s a way to repair it.

[severe merlin]

Objects can be in a “fully broken” state. As a placeholder we use slightly changed ||(sometimes even not changed at all)|| model with a red color to display that state.

[oblique parcel]

Also nikita if your even allowed to say is the devlog finished?

[frosty quail]

i dont think he is

[oblique parcel]

Yeah maybe not

[severe merlin]

It’s 98% finished 🙂

[oblique parcel]

Oh that’s nice

I assume it will likely be sometime next week than?

[severe merlin]

If there won’t be any unexpected things, then yes. 🤞

[frosty quail]

alrighty

that is very nice to hear

[earnest cape]

Oh I understand now, thanks for the explanation.

[restive oxide]

I have hope again

Nikita, will we ever see any scrapped characters in the future?

Examples being Beatrix or the farmer

[low gate]

So? Its our first little experience for HN3 even if it will be basic its still exiting

"Exiting"

Grammar ++++

[frosty gyro]

Grammar +++++++*

[low gate]

What

Could i have possibly of spammed in that message nebar

[oblique parcel]

Hn3 neighbor design honestly reminds me a lot of his reset day design

Just even worse looking(in a good way)

[untold grotto]

will the map be re-made in prototype 2?

or is it just an additional part to the prototype 1 map?

[oblique parcel]

He said that it’s remade when I asked

[low gate]

He has ripped vest like in The Raven Brooks Disaster

Where a bit of his vest was rippied on a branch

[oblique parcel]

True

[pulsar sentinel]

oh yeahhh I forgot about sherpa

[pulsar sentinel]

LETS GOOOOO

I was starting to think you guys changed your minds about it

[untold grotto]

why would they

its alr filmed

like one week ago

[frosty summit]

im thinking the last 2% is some extra editing

post production or smth

[untold grotto]

or just some tB communication

[pulsar sentinel]

I was just thinking that it was taking so long so I wasn't sure

[untold grotto]

uploading the build to steam etc

[frosty summit]

idk why communication would be labeled as progress

[pulsar sentinel]

yeah true that makes sense

[frosty summit]

this one is what i think

prototype should be pushed to steam sometime

if we start seeing new depots on hn3's store page then we can know for sure

this is what to check for https://steamdb.info/app/2789680/

[untold grotto]

well they moved rbo playtest to hn3 playtest like one month ago

[frosty summit]

yeah

but

there are no packages

[untold grotto]

this could be a sign that rbo playtest will be used as a base

[frosty summit]

possibly

Maybe the prototype could be a playtest?

there was a store page update 10 days ago

[untold grotto]

its just tag changes

not much important

[frosty summit]

yeah

the game is currently set as prerelease tho

i dont think it was that before

[muted karma]

they probably realese in steam fest like kryptqn said

we know that they realese next week

[mystic mountain]

Hopefully hn3 trophies make more sense

[white epoch]

yes

[untold grotto]

prototype tuesday

100%

[muted karma]

i hope

[delicate sigil]

Yeah I think so aswell

might be thursday but I think tuesday has the best odds

[untold grotto]

it will probably be uploaded to Steam on Monday and made available for access on Tuesday

[muted karma]

probably

byt what if he realese in friday

[delicate sigil]

unlikely

He said its 98% done

[muted karma]

ik

prototype is going to be most sigma game

[sly flower]

Do you think HN3 will have alpha versions?

Did Nikita talk about this?

[muted karma]

probaly

[untold grotto]

yeah

they will release a dev prototype, why wouldn't they release alpha

[serene hemlock]

I need to prepare myself

Perfectly

[untold grotto]

devlog 2 reaction + hn3 prototype first gameplay in same stream

[serene hemlock]

I will do it

I want to be first

[oblique parcel]

Imagine they update the description too or something but idk

[serene hemlock]

And even if not, idc. It will be fun times

And we will make multiplayer mod for HN3 prototype 1

If it will be possible

[untold grotto]

rbo singleplayer when
