hn3-discussion

[earnest cape]

Would be interesting I wonder what personality traits he’d be.

[vestal oyster]

based on hg he seemed to be a guy who took his work seriously and liked hanging low unless he had to intervene

I get the sense he doesn't like hanging around others

[high brook]

@soft gulch do u ever plan on releasing the guest model u have? or is it from somewhere else?

[soft gulch]

uhh i don't think i should release it, i don't feel it's necessary to release a recreation of a placeholder/unfinished model

[high brook]

why not? its still its own thing lol

[earnest cape]

So I’d say, Wary, Indifferent, Neutral, Normal, Sluggish.

[jade night]

tbh it's a decent receation

not really "accurate" i'd say.

heres mine with accurate textures.

[high brook]

why only 1 glove? doesnt he have 2

[jade night]

no, he has one.

[restive oxide]

Jacob stole the other

[high brook]

also why would his head even face up?

like maybe it only faces up for that ONE screenshot or whatever

[soft gulch]

the rig has it facing up

i doubt it will always have it facing up

[high brook]

maybe its a default pose? like signed does the same thing too when in the default pose

[restive oxide]

Signed isn't looking up in the default pose

his face is forward

[soft gulch]

signed has it's head facing up (or i guess in a way fowards) and he doesn't have it like that so

[restive oxide]

his SIGN faces up

[high brook]

im saying that bc they could have the same style of rest poses

like both rigs have the head bones facing straight up even tho some of them dont do that when they are animated

ALSO how do we even KNOW this is the guest

did nikita confirm it?

[earnest cape]

We don’t fully, but the Forest Dweller is called “Guest” in files, along with the rig for Tall Guy being what appears to be a beak for a head.

[earnest cape]

His rig lines up:

[tender stump]

the arms on yours look kinda weird but im not sure if thats just because they are so shiny

[soft gulch]

they are kinda shiny in the pictures

in the banner i mean

same with the pants, they are slightly shiny

[restive oxide]

I honestly doubt it's a placeholder mode, unfinished maybe, but placeholder no, cuz he is in the steam banner AND the discord banner and the screenshot

[tender stump]

it might be a placeholder considering its a frankenstein of two models

[jade night]

Signed is a placeholder and he's shown everywhere

[restive oxide]

Like I said, Unfinished

[restive oxide]

Unfinished not a placeholder

[tender stump]

the design wont be very different though

[restive oxide]

he is a main character in hn3

[tender stump]

since guest has art made for him

[restive oxide]

signed's overall design will not change

[soft gulch]

i think it's a placeholder because it's arms are literally spilling out of the torso

[tender stump]

that tall freak definitely is NOT a human

its actually insane how tall he is

compared to the other characters

[earnest cape]

If Tall Guy is indeed supposed to be The Guest, at first I find it weird but based on what Nikita said about Forest Dweller and that supposedly being The Guest it could work really well.

[restive oxide]

Janitor...

[tender stump]

heres a height comparison on real scale between an average human vs the guest rig btw

[high brook]

doesnt he have TWO gloves here?!?!!?1?

[earnest cape]

So far all we can say about The Guest is he could supposedly be Tall Guy or Forest Dweller or both.

[tender stump]

its a potted plant

[earnest cape]

That’s a pot.

[soft gulch]

yeah

[high brook]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-gif-13148928981517710530

A POT?

[soft gulch]

yeah it's on front of the tall guy

[restive oxide]

in front*

[jade night]

Grammar correcting is NOT needed..

[soft gulch]

it's weird to see someone correct grammar here lol

[jade night]

so good.

[restive oxide]

i only corrected it cuz there is a BIG difference between in front of and on the front of

[tender stump]

everybody understood what they meant though

[high brook]

how the hell did i get trolled by a FLOWER POT!

[jade night]

Personally, I understood what they were trying to say.

[earnest cape]

If all three characters are actually the same, imagine The Guest now huge and lanky lurking through dark areas snatching people and you without being noticed.

[earnest cape]

Sounds like actual nightmare fuel.

[high brook]

literally hello guest kinda

[quaint shale]

Personally hope the guest design is similar to the old one I don’t like the cone head

[soft gulch]

just look aat the arm here, it's really disconnected and it shows very much how it's just a combination of several models kinda just put together

[ancient jolt]

Valeu

[white epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/oof-noob-roblox-death-animation-gif-3930860304970210153

[soft gulch]

that's why mine has them like that too

[restive oxide]

Unfinished model-

[earnest cape]

Currently the most seemed to be possible Theory when it comes to The Guest is that his model is Tall Guy, and his character and AI is the Forest Dweller.

[soft gulch]

yeah

[high brook]

waht if the guest has his back bent over instead of his neck

so his head faces up still

but like really slouched

[soft gulch]

don't really see the vision there

[earnest cape]

He said bent over so he’s just like in a pouncing stance.

[soft gulch]

so this

[near meadow]

I REALLY LIKE THE TEETH.

It looks really cool bro keep cooking

[restive oxide]

Make him crawl really close to the ground like i did with my fan model

i dont have image perms so i cant show

[high brook]

ehh i meant more like uhh how do i say it

[soft gulch]

i did this with it earlier

idk if this is really crawling tho but yeah

[stray abyss]

I like how the prototype has the vibe of a community of people in the forest

It gives it a very cozy vibe

[high brook]

i meant like how this guy is in this pic

[restive oxide]

Where like his stomach is an inch away from the ground and his legs are backwards so he is crawling very creepily

[near meadow]

This pose would look cool

Arms bending unnaturally

[high brook]

that looks familiar

[near meadow]

The wrong direction makes it look eerie

[near meadow]

Guess the reference

[earnest cape]

That’s what I imagined in my head, could you make his arms like out to where he’s like charging up a lunge to grab a person, that’s what I thought in my head.

[high brook]

this right?

[near meadow]

Yup

[near meadow]

It be cool if the guest does that pose

[grand jay]

That pose would have me signing off at the speed of light 💀

[high brook]

imagine the guest with mixamo anims

[jade night]

I don't see poses like those being scary

[grand jay]

💀💀

[near meadow]

Whats that

[jade night]

the guest just standing, like in the steam banner, creates a really eerie feeling.

[earnest cape]

If he is Tall Guy please still make him super fast, would make getting chased by him actual horror.

[grand jay]

fr

[near meadow]

I think him standing when he staring at you would be more eerie

When he doesn’t notice you

He would be traveling like that weird monster

But stops crawling the moment he sees you

Then starts standing like that

[earnest cape]

I know a lot of people think he’s gonna make weird animal noises but I’d like him to just have hyper loud craws.

[high brook]

im assuming hes gonna do the clicking sounds he always does

[earnest cape]

Like that one reconstructed Quetzalcoatlus sound.

[jade night]

He's probably going to be using a mix of the hn2 sounds and moose sounds.

[near meadow]

I like the moose sounds

[restive oxide]

check dm's

[jade night]

you won't even notice he's there...

[craggy sparrow]

Look spike man🫵

[earnest cape]

Yeah no thank you.

[craggy sparrow]

Yo he is kinda tall

A little bit

[high brook]

wait

what if hes gonna be silent???

ever scarier

[pastel basin]

why is he there

who let him there

[earnest cape]

He should be silent when stalking or lurking.

[hushed rivet]

what are the ethics of having your head at a 90 degree angle at all times

[near meadow]

I think from far away

You should be able to hear him make sounds that sound like a normal crow

[winter cypress]

W hello neighbor (idk just thought id say)

[near meadow]

But the more closer the more unnatural it sounds

Like if hes close by, i’d like to imagine him sounding like this when hes breathing like very close to you while you’re hiding

[jade night]

Or, he just makes human noises like screaming

He's fooling you, making you think someone needs help.

[earnest cape]

I’d like that.

[earnest cape]

Would be interesting.

[near meadow]

Him screaming when hes chasing you while running (if thats a scenario)

Or when he is making sounds, in the forest far away

[earnest cape]

I’d prefer if he was silent u til noticed, you wouldn’t know he was near or anything until he sees you or you see him.

[near meadow]

Mostly silent

[jade night]

slender man...

[near meadow]

Loud during a chase

[craggy sparrow]

Thats way too freaky

[near meadow]

Add abit of voice editing to it

And it can work

[earnest cape]

Again this would be perfect for a chase IMO:

[near meadow]

Thats better

[jade night]

eh

[craggy sparrow]

Something is happening to my phone

[jade night]

ig

[earnest cape]

Seizure.

[high brook]

how is the guest taller than slenderman that isnt fair

[earnest cape]

Not one to one I want him to be somewhat unique in his own way, in HN2 he makes super aggressive crow noises when he’s chasing you, I want something more unique and way more terrifying.

[craggy sparrow]

He’ll probably sound something like we’ve heard before

In other games

[earnest cape]

Could be yeah.

[craggy sparrow]

Lots of possibilities

[near meadow]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=05ShtEhMKJQ&si=prCvWnVbTFdnlN1H

I want something like this more thi

This would be perfect too

[craggy sparrow]

I think they are probably going with something more like craws

[near meadow]

Wendigo sounds as a reference

I’d use wendigo sounds as a reference for the guest sounds

[jade night]

Moose sounds better ngl

[earnest cape]

I like it.

[jade night]

Guest wouldn't be high pitched tbh.

[near meadow]

Both. The high pitch would be something you hear in the forest from time to timr when he is far

[jade night]

it sounds silly

[earnest cape]

Then again there are those Theories the noises in Devlog 1 are The Guest, there’s also those distorted crow noises in the promo for Devlog 1.

[earnest cape]

Here’s one from the promo video, you hear it about 1 second in, it’s a really low pitched crow noise.

Though whatever the Team decides I’ll be fine with.

[high brook]

can someone recreate that?

like the low pitched crow sound

[earnest cape]

I could try.

[high brook]

also that could be a woodpecker lol

[jade night]

woodpecker

[high brook]

TATS WHAT I SAID

[jade night]

it's just some random bird sound

in hn3 files

[earnest cape]

Omg it might be.

[earnest cape]

Yeah no nevermind.

I hear it now.

[jade night]

Also it sounds way too close

lol

[earnest cape]

It’s not the only weird noise in the promo though, there were some other if iirc.

[near meadow]

Idk man im really digging this

[high brook]

what if the guest made really distorted sounds?

[near meadow]

Just distort it

Tweak it

[jade night]

we already know what the guest sounds like

[high brook]

if someone could GIVE me the guest sounds i could MAKE somtin cool

[craggy sparrow]

E

[craggy sparrow]

Couldn’t you try the guest sound from hn2 or hello guest?

[high brook]

thats what i NEED lol

[craggy sparrow]

OH

lol

[high brook]

but i dont feel like getting them (since i cant get them to export lol)

[craggy sparrow]

Maybe there is a secret youtube video with the guests sounds

[high brook]

for some reason i dont know what they were even doing in patch 9 for hn2

like the story didnt even make sense for the guest

just random parkour stuff and flexing game mechanics

[craggy sparrow]

You mean like that one on halloween?

[high brook]

yea

the whole forest thing or whatever

[craggy sparrow]

Yeah its definitely something’

I am trying it only now

He is way to quick

[earnest cape]

Well it was supposed to be for the Story Expansion before you know…

[high brook]

yea it was pointless tbh

the guest DIDNT even NEED a redesign anyways

[hot raft]

Is any one here good at making concept Ui I need yall help I want to make a ui concept idea for HN3 I will give the idea and yall design then we post it in the HN3 discussion server ?

[high brook]

wdym

[hot raft]

Sorry for my English not being the best

What I meant is they someone who could help me design a fan concept ui idea I have an idea but am not really proficient in designing anything

[hot raft]

HN3

[hot raft]

Is my new explanation better

[near quest]

hello my 3 neighbors

[vagrant notch]

What's you idea?

[earnest cape]

He got added to the game that’s what they needed to happen.

[earnest cape]

He didn’t need it, but man am I glad they did because his redesign in HN2 is really good.

[grand jay]

Look guys. It's the cheese man!!

[grand jay]

Did anyone else notice that Signed is clearly a vandal?

[frosty quail]

wow its like no one knew 10 months ago!!11!

[grand jay]

My bad bro

[grand jay]

Atleast i know the Cheese man!

[pastel basin]

huh

[slender prairie]

https://www.roblox.com/games/77710060351332/Guest-Secrets-Alpha-Hello-Neighbor-Fan-Game this fan game looks good

[serene hemlock]

It was made way before HN3 prototype 1 was announced

[red ocean]

can someone please edit the image of the hn3 neighbor to have a head the same size as his chin?

[lavish kernel]

wanted to save Raven Brooks, but as I understand it, you can’t save him, that’s his fate:((((.

[restive oxide]

So... Make his chin bigger?

[red ocean]

nope

his head

the size of his chin

:3

oh well

or*

forehead

[restive oxide]

I will

Then DM it too you

[red ocean]

huh?

[warm sail]

42

[restive oxide]

Cuz I don't have image perms here

[warm sail]

I'm from Russia 42 bro

[red ocean]

oh hell yea thanks xD

[restive oxide]

Check ur dms

[red ocean]

kk

[warm sail]

Oh yes

[slender prairie]

yea...

[oblique parcel]

I really hope There Will be a LOT of stuff like transformers and weird looking structures and buildings in hn3

Stuff like that added so much to the hn2 alpha’s and hg enviorment imo at least

[frosty gyro]

it defo will be

[exotic cape]

Whats the name of the new character?

Who are we playing as

[rain pebble]

in my opinion i think its gonna be a reporter

[earnest cape]

We don’t know who the MC is or anything other then that they are an outsider and completely new to Raven Brooks.

[exotic cape]

Didnt they say it in the devlog 2??

[earnest cape]

I don’t believe so, Nikita just told how we can change what happens in the Town.

[untold grotto]

player is not even have a concept art

nikita has some narrative ideas for it, but its design is not decided yet

[hazy ether]

People please tell me if there will be a continuation of the Hello Neighbor 2 plot, like who hit the main character in Hello Neighbor 2 etc.?

I realized that there will be no update.

[oblique parcel]

Unfortunally probably not as hn3 is a long time after hn2 and hn2 is no longer being updated

[hazy ether]

I'm going to cry

[gentle pebble]

HN3 should take place 5 years after HN2 and before GN2

[icy breach]

What do you mean by GN2?

[stone elk]

The flip is GN😵‍💫

[icy breach]

Goodbye Neighbor 2

[stone elk]

Olala😘

[icy breach]

I guess the first one already released

It’s lit

[daring gyro]

graphic novel 2

[mighty orchid]

People shorten stuff like GN or AS

[quaint mulch]

ermmm ACTUALLY I do like hello neighbour 🤓 ☝️

[oblique sigil]

hn3 is such a good game

[cunning yacht]

found hello neighbor 3 ai good.

[ashen oriole]

Honestly, if HN3 fails too, this might be the end for Hello Neighbor.

[mental summit]

it wont

[ashen oriole]

it better doesnt fail

[untold surge]

no more neighbor??

i dont find peterson anyware this prototype or anything remotely related to him

[stuck lynx]

He isn’t in the prototype

[untold surge]

whhy

he will come later on right??

[stuck lynx]

Yeah

Oh

[untold surge]

k

[lethal summit]

what roll does the neighbour (mr peterson) have in hello neighbor 3?

[stuck lynx]

Yeah he has concept art

[stuck lynx]

We don’t know right now

[lament prawn]

guys

i just got done playing the prototype

its sick

[lethal summit]

feels pointless to name it hello neighbour 3 for marketing if he doesnt have a roll

[untold surge]

fr

[lament prawn]

maybe he will kick out the vandals

like chase them down or sm

[stuck lynx]

He will have a role

We just don’t know what it is rn

[lethal summit]

then its not like the original or the second one

[untold grotto]

just watch hello neighbor 3 devlogs 🙏🏻

[lament prawn]

i think the game is meant to be/feel different

[lethal summit]

yea but the concept

[lament prawn]

still

the prototype is really good

at least in my opinion

[untold grotto]

the prototype was better than hn2 fg tbh

[lament prawn]

facts

[lethal summit]

wont be as successful if they dont do it right

[hollow coral]

I agree - especially for a prototype

[lament prawn]

also dont ask me what i know about hello neighbor

[stuck lynx]

Obviously

[lament prawn]

i dont know much

[untold surge]

yeah its pretty good

[lament prawn]

im honestly a newbee to the seiries

[lethal summit]

what even is the point other than getting strong signal and calling a taxi

[untold grotto]

its

just

PLACEHOLDER

story

not actual story

🙏🏻😭

[lament prawn]

even i know that

[untold grotto]

do people know what does "prototype" means

[lament prawn]

i do

i think

the neighbor lo fi dosnt seem to be lo fi

on a scale of 1-10

how would you guys rate the prototype

[untold surge]

who else thinks hn2 demo was epic?

[untold grotto]

move on to #hello-neighbor

[untold surge]

8 cuz no neighbor

[lament prawn]

i never played it😅

[untold surge]

sed luif

[lament prawn]

tbh

my opinion dosnt really cound when it comes to my opinion on the games

because im someone who thinks hello neighbor vr is w

[stuck lynx]

No one apparently

No one knows what a prototype is

Other than very few people

[hollow coral]

fr

watching jacob get caught by the forest dweller is cool

[frosty gyro]

hi evil nikita

[stuck lynx]

I’m Evil Nikita

RBO releases tomorrow ||/j||

[cobalt hollow]

the donation box is fun to mess around with

[stuck lynx]

I almost beat the game with it lmao

[cobalt hollow]

yea lol you can reach places with it that you normally cant

[restive oxide]

not to mention crouch jumping lets you jump higher

[woven lodge]

All Hello Neighbor games are good?

[cunning yacht]

not really. just like hello neighbor 2

[cobalt hollow]

yea

[cunning yacht]

hello neighbor vr is so funny. you should go check out madfist vr vids of it

[cobalt hollow]

i played it and glitched out the map 10/10 is exactly what i expected from a hello neighbor game

[woven lodge]

Have you ever played Hello Engineer though?

[shrewd shell]

personally, no so i can't comment on that

[woven lodge]

Oh yeah Hello Neighbor 3!

The eighth game in the series.

[hollow coral]

*700th

[shrewd shell]

wait counting alphas

which build is this

i'm gonna count publically released builds

[woven lodge]

Builds aren't games though?

[shrewd shell]

yeah, but i'm just wondering

what build

i'm not a native speaker too

[woven lodge]

It depends, do we count every publicly released alpha or beta of every game, or every single build including patches and updates?

[shrewd shell]

nah patches would be crazy

but hey it might be cool to do that later

like after builds

[stuck lynx]

14 I think

[shrewd shell]

1. Hello Neighbor Pre-Alpha
2. Hello Neighbor Alpha 1
3. Hello Neighbor Alpha 2
4. Hello Neighbor Alpha 3
5. Hello Neighbor Alpha 4
6. Hello Neighbor BETA (best build btw)
7. Hello Neighbor Beta 2
8. Hello Neighbor Beta 3
9. Hello Bendy
10. Hello Neighbor
11. Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek
12. Secret Neighbor

[stuck lynx]

Idk if I should count RBO

[shrewd shell]

we'll count every single piece of unique playable hn content they released

so we'll include rbo and hello bendy

Hello Guest had what three itirations?

[stuck lynx]

Then 15 maybe

[stuck lynx]

Yeah, but one wasn’t playable

[shrewd shell]

right

13. Hello Guest (first version)

14. Hello Guest (steam version)

i'm gonna count on notepad

not to spam

hn3 is the 21st

build of hn to be publically released

[restive oxide]

Uhh cough cough I made a list of every known HN game build and version (Not updates)

[shrewd shell]

oh u did

dude updates would be crazy btw

hn3 would probably be like

[restive oxide]

its quite long

[shrewd shell]

300 or something

[restive oxide]

I'll post it in #off-topic

[mental summit]

2

[shrewd shell]

idk why i felt like it was 3

[dry haven]

Nice 😂

[cobalt hollow]

nice

[untold grotto]

so funny buddy 😐

[rustic dome]

hello i want to say

[rustic dome]

hn2 better then hn3

[cobalt hollow]

dang

[rustic dome]

i mean hn guest

pre alpha hnq

hn2

[shrewd shell]

haha pathetic, i'm about to show you the real flex

it doesn't get better than this:

[white epoch]

lol

[shrewd shell]

but seriously lol

[restive oxide]

I have like 15 different HN games in my steam library lol

[shrewd shell]

i was talking about playtime lol

i have exactly 15

i did not know that

i just found out

[restive oxide]

even funnier

[shrewd shell]

obv secret neighbour doesn't show there

i have secret neighbour beta too

but i have it as a hidden game

because if you try and play it

it literally doesn't work

[restive oxide]

lol

[stuck lynx]

It’s a prototype bro..

[mental summit]

no, it had 2

1 of them we cant play yet

or possibly ever

[primal fossil]

oi

am amir

[compact fog]

Ngl for how early this game is in development, it's not bad

[waxen spade]

Are they gonna add it to xbox

[restive oxide]

No, there was an early version of alpha 1 given to youtubers

[restive oxide]

add what to xbox

HN3?

whenever the game is fully released it will almost definitely be released on consoles.

definitely not during alpha stages tho

[waxen spade]

Dang it

[forest jetty]

How do I play hn3?

[untold grotto]

steam

you can only play the prototype

[restive oxide]

Go to the HN3 steam page, click join the RBO playtest (Its the HN3 prototype but the name is not updated)

[forest jetty]

Okay thanks

[mental summit]

hey nikita, was there any other concept art for the neighbor and would you be willing to share it, only asking since the concept art we got was titled "neighbor_4"

[slim cosmos]

lol

[blissful river]

I’m sure there was but the design that was shown was the final design, so I don’t think we really need to see old versions since they will not be used.

[crisp chasm]

Hey Nikita i have a question, where is Nicky (adult) in the events of Hello neighbor 3, is he away from Raven Brooks like act 3, or something happened to him

[mental summit]

but it would be interesting to see all the design iterations of the neighbor in hn3

[jade night]

yeah

I would like to see that too.

[crude basin]

how to jump

not joking

i dont know how

[agile kelp]

space

[crude basin]

ok my game is glitching

[safe raft]

Yeah but it would be cool to see

[blissful river]

True.

[bold siren]

Yeah, there's a bug that doesn't let you jump

[thorn escarp]

restart, that might help

[high brook]

@soft gulch i dont know if this would really work but theres a animation called A_SimpleCharacter_CatchPlayer_SKM_Signed that looks like it would fit the guest pretty well

if the model ur using has the right rig u could try putting the anim over it

[soft gulch]

yeahh i can't figure out how to put the animation on the rig

it's like it doesn't add any animation when i try to do it idk

[high brook]

wdym

how are u getting the rigs etc

theres a way to get the anims

[restive oxide]

same thing for I try putting anims on rigs

[soft gulch]

no no i have the files for the animations

it just that

when i try to add it to the rig itself it doesn't let me

not that there's an error message or something, it just doesn't add any key frames

[high brook]

how are u trying to add anims?

and what are u using

[soft gulch]

well im using blender

[high brook]

i meant HOW are you exporting the anims and stuff

are u just exporting them with umodel or somtin

[soft gulch]

with fmodel

[high brook]

oh

[blissful river]

Fmodel

[high brook]

ive never used fmodel befor

is it bc umodel doesnt support ue5?

[blissful river]

Yep

[soft gulch]

pretty much

[high brook]

well

it does actually

i have it lol

[soft gulch]

i don't see how that's the case

the program does not let you select any versions of unreal engine 5 so

[high brook]

the one i have does

[blissful river]

Then why are you asking for help?

[high brook]

wdym

[high brook]

i wanted to KNOW how bc i was going to help with it

[soft gulch]

what kind of weird version you have that does support unreal engine 5

[high brook]

an archived/lost version

[soft gulch]

either way i don't really think fmodel is the reason the animations come with no animation data

[high brook]

i did make a blend file with all the character anims

maybe could u use that? just import them in blender somehow

[blissful river]

I could send them as well.

[high brook]

if anyone wants that version of umodel i have u can just dm me

[soft gulch]

nothing i can not figure out what's wrong really

maybe i just need to update fmodel like the seven times it has told me to do so

probably

[soft gulch]

you know that would be lovely actually

[high brook]

yall is this signed render any good?

[hazy fern]

Will the neighbor even be a huge part of this game?

Or has theo been pushed back to a side character?

[soft gulch]

because no matter what i do it doesn't seem to do anything

i guess there's one last thing i could try but

i feel it would be dumb if that was the problem

yeah that didn't work

oh well

[vagrant notch]

If that's the case imma be extremely disappointed.

This is hello neighbor, i want the neighbor himself to be the main focus.

Otherwise it's not really right.

[oblique parcel]

And I hope guest is the next Main focus next to Theodore

[pastel narwhal]

If the guest isn’t one of the main focuses they screwed up

[blissful river]

I don’t think he needs to be the main focus. I mean yes the guest is awesome, but like it’s ok for him to just be a side character.

[oblique parcel]

No its not okay at all

Because hes not a side character hes like one of the most important characters in the story

I would go as far and say i would rather have him as the Main antagonist for once than the Neighbor

This is not how a side character is described lol

[pastel narwhal]

More important then hn2 fs tho

that game completely trashed him

[blissful river]

Yes for sure.

HN2 was supposed to be the guests game ngl.

[oblique parcel]

Well i hope hn3 is his game sorta now due to how hn2 Ended up

[earnest cape]

The Guest was done so dirty in HN2 hyped to be the main focus for him to be a side quest, I hope that HN3 can be The Guests chance to finally get the spotlight he deserves.

[oblique parcel]

Even Worse He problaby was meant to get a much bigger role in the story expansion

So i hope hn3 fills that vacuum now since the story expansion got cancelled

[mystic topaz]

I agree the Guest will hopefully get a bigger role in HN3

[pseudo spoke]

One year, 9 patches, and a (imo) very mediocre redesign later, he was finally added, only to be used in a (again imo) mostly mediocre side quest.
Kinda crazy to think that the last time we really saw one of Nikita's Guest iterations was whatever remnants of him were in the Beta back in April 2022.
But I'm excited to see the Guest again in HN3. Hopefully this time things go well for him.

[oblique parcel]

I hope Nikita can truly use him in a way he wanted to use him as personally i doubt his version was That similar to the one we got in patch 9 but idk

But yeah its insane and really really sad how wasted he ended up being in hn2 so hopefully hn3 truly gives him a big spotlight like he was clearly mean’t to have as evident by all the Tie in media

[kindred crag]

He needs to be the main protagonist in hn3. Mr.peterson needs to be more like a allay because he's old, and he can't really run.

[hazy fern]

Exactly

[oblique parcel]

No he Should 100 percent be a Main villian but guest Should share the spotlight with him this time around

[vagrant notch]

The guest makes a great secondary villain.

[oblique parcel]

Yeah i don’t mind him being second as long as he has a major role

I do hope the Neighbor is still a proper villian fully even if hes very old

[vagrant notch]

Some characters actually benefit a lot from being second, and think he's one of them.

[oblique parcel]

I found the Neighbor a LOT more intresting in hn1, Books and even AS over hn2 idk he just felt a bit boring to me in hn2 fg

I hope hn3 kinda makes him more intriguing again

[vagrant notch]

HN2 was really half baked, and didn't really do it for me, probably because nikita wasn't there for the finished product.

[oblique parcel]

The Neighbor Should feel eerie and creepy imo in hn2 he lacked those aspects for the most part

But hn3 clearly seem to make him more creepy again as that’s how nikitas Always seen him

[vagrant notch]

The neighbor doesn't really feel important, he's just there.

[oblique parcel]

I wanna continue the discussion in Main chat as i feel like we are going off topic from hn3 slowly

[vagrant notch]

Yeah sorry

[celest plank]

speaking of that it'd be cool if the neighbour teamed up with us to deal with the guest or something like that

[kindred crag]

I would've been happy if theo was an antagonist, but it just doesn't make sense. Maybe if the time skip wasn't that long, it was better and it'll make sense for him to still be one

[vagrant notch]

Bad people don't automatically install good person.exe into their mainframe with age.

[kindred crag]

Remember hello neighbor 2 ending.

?

[vagrant notch]

What about it?

[celest plank]

peterson deserves much better

[brisk forum]

Wdym

he just hugged his son

[celest plank]

speaking of the ending

i wanna know what happens to quentin in hn3

unless hes just dead

[jade night]

He's dead probably

[kindred crag]

He "became" good. We don't really know if this is what it means but yeah

[jade night]

No, he didn't

[celest plank]

so r we probably gonna like

find out

[untold grotto]

no

its literally years after

[kindred crag]

Nah, he's just cutthroat reporter, it's his duty to prod.

Quentin - 40's-50's
Gerda - 50's-60's
Otto - dead
Leslie - 60's- 70's
Mayor - 90's-dead

[untold grotto]

they WILL NOT appear in hn3 😭

[oblique parcel]

We don’t even know if hn3 is connected to hn2 like in universe

[frosty gyro]

reference

[untold grotto]

(hn3 only connected to hn1 & hide n seek)

you will see

[oblique parcel]

Well we don’t know yet Thats still speculation for now until we know it for sure

[kindred crag]

W

[celest plank]

arent all the hn games in the same universe

[untold grotto]

yep

[daring canopy]

in diff timelines

[grand jay]

Look guys, it's the Cheese Man!

Well I'm pretty sure HN3 takes place after Reset Day since the Neighbors and the Towns appearance is much more worn since then.

The guest appears after reset day so this could be post thay

[gray ivy]

yall think hello neighbor 3 is gonna be a glow up or a glow down?

[untold grotto]

will see

its too early for it

[gray ivy]

is it just me or i still prefer the og game?

[shrewd shell]

i will forever prefer hn1 over anything

call it a nostalgic bias or whatever

but hn1 on top forever

[loud karma]

i hope for prototype 2 its just the rbo objects but with proper UVs

[hazy fern]

I mean the idea was more then that. But it probs might ve left like that now

[hazy fern]

As Kryptqn said too early. I have a feeling tho i may still prefer hn1 and hn2

[hazy fern]

Oh i love hn1

I loved how anything is pickable and the whole big premise of the game

I do love hn2 as well and I like how the ai is more interactive

But i do think it kinda went a bit too narrow. Specifically in the neighbor sections

[oblique sigil]

yeah

[untold bridge]

I think HN3 is gonna be good but with new story or better, the end to the old one.

[hazy fern]

Which old one?

Like a continuation to hn2?

[celest plank]

is the hn3 raven brooks gonna look the same

as like raven brooks from the other games

but like abandoned

[daring gyro]

raven brooks looked different in every game that came out

[shrewd shell]

yeah

[celest plank]

well yeah thats weird

[rotund thorn]

hello all 👋

[thorn escarp]

Is hello neighbor 3 being made on unreal engine 4 or 5?

[stuck lynx]

5

[untold grotto]

rbo ue 5.1
hn3 prototype 1 ue 5.4

[thorn escarp]

hmm, okay thanks

[celest plank]

also when do yall think the alpha 1 is gonna be released

[hollow coral]

december 2025

idk

but there's gonna be 3 prototypes first and probably a pre-alpha

[hazy fern]

It literally keeps changing 😂 😂 😂

[hazy fern]

3!

Aww men

Will we ever have pre alpha?

[hollow coral]

yeah most prob

[ocean oar]

Can i ask Grandeturisto if u can show us OST what will be used in HN3?

[untold grotto]

as i said in #prototype-3-chat message

[celest plank]

yea but why 🙏

confuses me a lot lol

not like im complaining

maybe theyre like new locations or something but yeah

[hazy fern]

Cool

[ocean oar]

Ik allready bro

Btw can i ask guys why this key looks like the car key from HN1?

[hazy fern]

Probs cuz if thr blocky shale

Shape

And the orangey end since orange is basically a similar colour to red

And the key still kinda looks a bit cartoony

[muted karma]

yeah

not like hn3 style

[peak solar]

Well, if the Neighbor is in the game

his car might be too

[maiden hornet]

i didnt even know that was in the game

where do you find it

[muted karma]

i think its in the files

[maiden hornet]

oh

[untold grotto]

could be just rbo leftover

[unborn edge]

it is a rbo leftover

[ocean oar]

I use my hacker method

[warm violet]

Hi guys! I'm not very good at drawing, but I tried to make a sketch of Iris.

[blissful river]

Looks awesome!

[hollow coral]

Uhh bro, you clearly are quite good at drawing. Lol. good job!

[warm violet]

Thank you!

[warm violet]

Thanks!

[vagrant notch]

“I'm not good at drawing” proceeds to show a really good drawing.

I think imma have to disagree with you.

[warm violet]

Thanks to everyone guys!

[agile kelp]

thats way better than anything i could do

[shrewd shell]

biggest lie ever, because that drawing is amazing

[warm violet]

Thank you, I tried.

[shell vapor]

debug

.

[midnight cloud]

what if the neighbor, is in hello neighbor

but hey thats just me

[blissful river]

Dude your way off.

[midnight cloud]

damn

[stuck lynx]

I think the neighbor might be named Theodore Peterson…

[thorny ravine]

how to get demo hello neighbor 3

[storm crown]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[vagrant notch]

It's not a demo, we're not even close to a demo.

[oblique parcel]

Its not even close to an alpha

[hollow coral]

fr

[thorny ravine]

alpha

[vagrant notch]

It's not an alpha either 💀

Prototype.

[hollow coral]

and there's gonna be 3 prototypes

[thorny ravine]

ok

[hollow coral]

and then a pre-alpha most probably

[oblique parcel]

Am i the only one who feels like hn3 reminds me more of the hn1 era of the franchise again(in a good way)

I felt like hn2 steered away a bit too much from what i liked about hello Neighbor(mostly gameplay wise) but hn3 is returning most of those elements i missed in hn2

[hollow coral]

yeah

[gentle pebble]

I was a post saw the old prototype build and the public and the older looks better

[pulsar dirge]

Big step in the right direction

[stiff badger]

Real or fake

[gentle pebble]

Real

[stiff badger]

Absolute peak

[pulsar dirge]

Let's hope it isn't getting developed by steel wool this time

[oblique parcel]

Hn2 was not developed by sw only the dlcs levels was

[pulsar dirge]

I don't want DLC either

[pulsar dirge]

Even worse 😭

[grand snow]

I don't understand. You mean the older prototype had better graphics?

[pulsar dirge]

Lighting

[grand snow]

They may have downgraded for performance reasons

[daring gyro]

GI off and different time of day i believe

[tender stump]

no

I took these screenshots

had all my settings on epic with the same times

the street one with iris was wrong but it didn’t look different to the actual time (9:55)

someone got it to look like the old build by messing with user settings but idk what they did

[gentle pebble]

The first 2 are at same time but very different

[daring gyro]

I mean in the old build
Looks like gi is off

[tender stump]

oh

it might be

[soft gulch]

Steel wool are like super busy with fnaf right now so I don't think so

[oblique parcel]

Meh i removed it before anyone ask i don’t want the chat to spiral into lore discussion

[vagrant notch]

I thought the dlcs were fine.

[vagrant notch]

Not fantastic, but pretty fun.

[vagrant notch]

It doesn't really matter what the prototype build looks like, when we get into the alpha/beta phase that's when imma to get concerned.

[oblique parcel]

I Do Genuinely Think the Neighbor in hn3 might bexome the most creepiest version yet to face off against

Im really excited for the Neighbor in this game as he truly feels like the old creepy Neighbor now

[vagrant notch]

It'd be hard to top alpha 1 Theo but i'd love if they tried.

[oblique parcel]

Same pre alpha and alpha 1 Theodore felt very creepy sometimes

[vagrant notch]

And i think the main reason for that was his lack of emotion, the blank expression, the way he patrolled the house quietly without any sound cues so you had no clue where he could be.

[oblique parcel]

Obviously i want him to show some emotions but i hope he doesnt gasp like in hn1 for example in hn3

[vagrant notch]

Less is more in the case of the neighbor.

[oblique parcel]

The Books and AS to me potray him closer to the alpha’s than the full game

He feels more eerie and just overall more creepy

[vagrant notch]

Also, although you were faster then him, the house was designed so tightly that the chases felt a lot more “terminator/Mr X” like.

[oblique parcel]

They need to design his hn3 house/hideout interior with his ai in mind

[vagrant notch]

The elevator allowed him to reach you from anywhere, so you were never safe.

[oblique parcel]

I Think a reason i kinda lost intrest in the Neighbor as an antagonist(gameplay wise) is he Never felt threatning to me ingame

His ai just felt so non threatning Even more so in hn2

[vagrant notch]

I have no idea why the full game made the decision to replace it was long ladders, adding several elevators would fix most of act 3's AI flaws.

[oblique parcel]

Hn3 has the chance to really make the Neighbor a threatning figure again because idc what anyone says his new design is creepy as hell imo

[vagrant notch]

Every time i bring up the games flaws, or talk about how HN3 should function it always comes back to HN2 💀

HN2 is the William Afton of design flaws.

[urban steppe]

Because HN2 is a great example of what not to do

in many cases

[grizzled oar]

Bro im new to the game is it true hello neibor killed his duaghter because his daughter like his son

[oblique parcel]

Wrong chat and no he Didnt kill her

[frosty gyro]

"i always come back"

[oblique parcel]

It missed the point of what most people want out of a hello Neighbor game imo

Hn3 seem to sorta understand more what most People want(so far)

[vagrant notch]

Sorry i don't speak “my cat walked on my keyboard.”

[oblique parcel]

Hn2 is an alright game but not a good hn game imo

It Didnt really have much of what i wanted out of a hello Neighbor game

[vagrant notch]

It was just boring, it didn't encapsulate what makes HN a unique series.

[oblique parcel]

8 bit Ryan Said it best in his hn3 prototype video it had something going for it but it Didnt understand what players really wanted to make People wanna come back to hello Neighbor

[urban steppe]

What I wanted from it was more horror, good AI and a sandbox experience

It had a better atmosphere than HN1 imo but the AI was completely botched by the time of the release and they removed most features that made the game feel open

[vagrant notch]

It feels like they saw people complaining about the bugs and said: “Alright! we'll just cut all the stuff causing bugs out of the game.”

[oblique parcel]

Personally hello Neighbor 3 feels much more like the hello Neighbor i Always loved so far

Even if its just in prototype phase and its still kinda different from previous hello Neighbor games at the same time

[sage palm]

i think it pretty fun

and spooky

[vagrant notch]

I can't really have an opinion on it until an actual breaking and entering aspect is implemented cuz without that it ain't hello neighbor to me.

[oblique parcel]

That’s true but prototype 2 Will apperantly focus on starting to implement some stealthy aspects

[urban steppe]

Prototype 1 already features those aspects but it's in the most barebones form

You can break into people's houses, and some of them will chase you out

It's just very simplistic in that form but it is a prototype

[sage palm]

purple girl only chase you if you steal banan

[urban steppe]

Not true

[oblique parcel]

And if you is in her home or break into Jacobs

[sage palm]

oh

dont they live in the samew house

[urban steppe]

She also chases you in Jacob's house

because he's cowardly and can't protect himself

[sage palm]

oh wait sorry i forgor she lives in the tall one

[oblique parcel]

Signed is defenitly my favorite ai so far

[vagrant notch]

Give me a dr seuss house, and put a mustache man inside, then you have my attention.

[sage palm]

real

[oblique parcel]

I do hope his house is not too grounded but not too wonky Either

[sage palm]

it needs a rollar coaster

[oblique parcel]

I hope for a proper inbetween

[frosty gyro]

what do you think is a good inbetween house

[oblique parcel]

A weird pretty big abandoned like house but not act 3 house level

[sage palm]

i think pre alpha and alpha 1 had it perfect

[vagrant notch]

The house from alpha 1.

[sage palm]

yes

[oblique parcel]

Something like that yes

[sage palm]

how abandoned if it got the neighbor in it

[vagrant notch]

As for bad houses i'd say act 3 from HN1, The neighbors house from HN2, and the taxidermists house from (you guessed it) HN2.

[vagrant notch]

Too much is bad, and so little it's pathetically boring is bad.

[oblique parcel]

Deleted it cause im not sure you can Mention prototype content here yet lol

[oblique parcel]

Act 3 house sound cool on paper sure but it was not executed well at all especially not with the Neighbor ai as he can barely navigate it

[vagrant notch]

If i was the lead dev and saw the concept art for that house infront of me, i would have went with it too, the idea alone is just fine..

[oblique parcel]

Same the concept isnt really bad its just very ambitious and needed a lot more planning and time to be implemented

Another thing I really like iris she reminds me a lot of Beatrix(personality wise) which is a character i kinda have missed tbh she had potenial

[vagrant notch]

I think her design is nice, (though i have no clue what they're actually aiming for.)

[oblique parcel]

Also i Think Signed is pretty much outright a redesigned hg vandal

They even have similar torso builds and Nikita Said Signed was made because he wanted to bring the vandal back in some form

[vagrant notch]

I will say however, i think she clashes with the artistic direction this time around just a tad bit too much.

She doesn't really fit the mood.

[oblique parcel]

I hope They give her new clothes tbh or just slightly change them up

Her clothes feel pretty plain but maybe that’s the idea idk

[vagrant notch]

As much as i like her palette it's too bright.

[warm violet]

Hello everyone, what's new?

[oblique parcel]

The hn3 prototype 1 is out but it Will close by the end or after this week so if you wanna play it get it now

[warm violet]

I've been playing the prototype for a few days now and I really like it! It's really sad that you can't play it anymore 😦

[warm violet]

I just hope that this version will be preserved in the story of Hello Neighbor 3, and then when the full version comes out, we can come back to it again and remember how it all began.🥲

[oblique oyster]

?

[warm violet]

?

[oblique oyster]

you can still play iut

[oblique parcel]

Yeah

[warm violet]

Yes, you can play it now, but in a few days it will be closed on Steam.

[sage valve]

this is prototype 2 screenshot?

[urban steppe]

If you have it installed you'll be able to play anyway

[urban steppe]

Nope

This is from a test map

[sage valve]

from prototype 1?

[urban steppe]

No, from a separate test map.

[sage valve]

how do you know

[warm violet]

Will I be able to enter the prototype if I have already downloaded it through the game folder? Or is it illegal?

[urban steppe]

Because Nikita has confirmed it.

[urban steppe]

I don't see how it would be illegal, it's your files you have legally acquired on your computer.

[warm violet]

Because Hello Neighbor is my favorite franchise and every prototype, alpha, etc. is very important to me.

[urban steppe]

If you already downloaded the game legally you can play it, and make copies of the files, and the prototype doesn't have any form of DRM so you don't need steam to play it.

[warm violet]

In fact, I don't even have it downloaded on Steam, I just have the game files downloaded.

[oblique parcel]

I assume the screenshots on steam are a bit more representitive how hn3 is mean’t to look like? Even if theres still a LOT of unfinished assets

[urban steppe]

It's from a map that's meant to be an artstyle test so yes

It's closer to what they want it to look like

[oblique parcel]

The current prototype barely has the artstyle implemented i Think? Prototype 2 Will focus on testing it more according to Nikita

[oblique parcel]

Wonder if the more greenish grass is still planned

[warm violet]

Do you think Prototype 2 will have a completely new map or an improved map from Prototype 1? And will it have a neighbor or a guest?

[urban steppe]

It will have a new map

[oblique parcel]

The current plan is for the prototype’s to have test Maps but when it hits alpha stage its likely the map that’s gonna be used will be an VERY VERY early map that’s eventually gonna become the full game map

That’s their current goal at least

[warm violet]

I can't wait to see the neighbor and guest in the game, I assume they will appear in the game with alphas.

[oblique parcel]

Maybe maybe not

[warm violet]

Very interesting...

[oblique parcel]

Either way Nikita Said if you liked the new Neighbor design you Will problaby like the new guest design

Im assuming hes gonna look a lot more uncanny in a way

[warm violet]

I liked the new design of the neighbor, something in the spirit of the concept arts of the first alphas of HN1. What do you think?

[oblique parcel]

A little bit yeah

[urban steppe]

Mainly because it's back to Nikita designing him

Elena (and other artists who portrayed him over the past few years) have vastly different style and concept of the neighbor

[oblique parcel]

Which one do you prefer?

[urban steppe]

Definitely Nikita's, I don't want the neighbor to be good looking, just a creepy guy next door.

[oblique parcel]

Exactly i also loved the book covers of him as well i feel like that leaned into Nikita’s more

With the buggy eyes and stuff

[urban steppe]

There's nothing wrong with his HN2 or HNVR designs but they lose the sense of creepiness and make him look like an exaggerated cartoon bad guy

Though that's more the fault of writers than the artists I feel, since there are some really good shots of the HN2 neighbor

[oblique parcel]

I like it too but just compare it to lets say this version of Ted

This is a creepier design imo

[oblique parcel]

I do not like how he was potrayed in hn2 he felt too much like a cartoon villian rather than a disturbed person Trying to keep his only family member locked up

[daring gyro]

everyone in hn2 is mischaracterized 🥩

[urban steppe]

Considering all the existing canon of the HN2 characters got replaced with "generic cult member", yes.

[daring gyro]

what does that mean

[urban steppe]

It means what it means.

[oblique parcel]

The guest also lacked a bit of his personality i feel? He just felt one dimensional at times

[urban steppe]

Pretty much all the characters in HN2 got their entire personality replaced with hello I'm hiding cult secrets. (Or just heavily stripped down to few basic concepts)

[daring gyro]

oh you mean that

yeag i mean they could have had personality while still hiding secrets

[oblique parcel]

I hope AS lore is kept away from hn3 i do not dislike it really at all but it Should mostly stay in the AS from now on imo

It did not work with hn2 at all

[warped swan]

ima be honest hn2 is a lil better then hn3

but i will be happy if they did a multiplayer game

[daring gyro]

I really hope it's just multiple loops and that's why Events happen differently
And the ultimate loop Is reset day/ hn3

[urban steppe]

I don't really care much for story at this point since most of it doesn't make sense to me or have any continuity anymore.

[simple cloud]

in prototype of hello neighbour 3 i find 4 endings.

1. We are got catched by forest dweller
2. We are staying at Raven Brooks and storm consums city
3. We were died by lightning
4. We are catch a signal, deliver taxi and leaved Raven Brooks

[oblique parcel]

Nikita recently Said everything is canon but not in the way we Think and but its not a multiverse Either

it kinda can’t be all canon and connected?

Its very hard to enjoy the story at this point because of how inconsistent its become

[urban steppe]

If Nikita only stuck to his work (HN1 & H&S/early HN2) while writing HN3 I would be happy. Even if it's a standalone story I would be happy, but I heavily dislike what has been done in AS or HN2 so I don't want it to have much connection with those.

[oblique parcel]

At this point same ik i Said i want everything to be canon but like it can’t

You can’t make entire different stories all be canon

And Alex Said recently like AS is the defacto lore or something similar which makes me feel like him and Nikita are on different pages

[simple cloud]

btw forest dweller catches us with crowfaces animation. Or it's just filling animation or it's crowface in another view

[oblique parcel]

Guest is not called crowface

Crowface is what the cult in AS is called

[daring gyro]

I don't know who said It originally but there was this theory that said that every loop was different thats why some shit doesn't match in the games

[oblique parcel]

Only way everything can be canon

[daring gyro]

like it's the same universe but every time someone succesfully loops shit changes

[urban steppe]

I'd prefer a cohesive linear story over an everlasting story that constantly changes because time is looping but it is what it is.

[daring gyro]

There has to be an end to that

[daring gyro]

And you can justify infinite games with yeah its Just loop #45

It's been 6 years we still have no idea what the mayak does to make everything canon

[urban steppe]

Well the only possible explanations I could see for the story being different each time is time loops or a multiverse.
There isn't much that you can consider "grounded" that would still make sense.
Maybe one thing I could believe is that the story is different because it's always told from a different person's perspective and they all have a different vision of the world but it is a bit of a stretch.

[oblique parcel]

I just remembered Alex has actually implied its because of perspective

[daring gyro]

So its Just Silent Hill 2 ok

[urban steppe]

Silent Hill 2 but worse /hj

[oblique parcel]

I Will talk more About this in Main chat since this is the hn3 chat and i feel like we are going off topic lol

[nimble walrus]

Mr Peterson is not deleted. He just isn't added in Prototype 1

Maybe in Prototype 2 we will get him

[midnight cloud]

the neighbor isn't in hello neighbor 😔

[spiral crow]

Peterson looks depressed tbh

[midnight cloud]

why wouldn't he be

[nimble walrus]

I think he isn't even modeled yet

We currently only get to see him as Art

Tbh I think the player that we play as is imaginating people with small torso, long arms and legs and purplish/bluish skin colour.

[daring gyro]

it's a prototype this shit isn't even close to being final

[unborn edge]

we only have a few sounds for presumably the neighbor in the game files

[urban steppe]

Which are just placeholder sounds that possibly come from old HN2 recordings and aren't actually new

[nimble walrus]

Tbh I think MrPeterson will have the big house/mansion (seen in older pictures)

[nimble walrus]

Tbh I really liked how Hello Neighbor 2 sounded

It would be cool if we saw characters that weren't used in Hello Neighbor 2 get added in Hello Neighbor 3 with new looks

[hazy fern]

I mean proto 1 is just to test ai and nothing like the main game

So makes sense

Plus they might give him a new model maybe

I personally rather just have the hn2 model

Maybe with the more messy hair from secret neighbor

[nimble walrus]

They did give him a new look

[hazy fern]

I just don't hope they make him look super gross

[nimble walrus]

If you haven't seen devlog 2

[hazy fern]

Nah i didnt see it

[fierce viper]

i think it would be cool to give him like a beard

[hazy fern]

Did they show off the design?

[nimble walrus]

Yeah

[hazy fern]

Oh

[hazy fern]

Oh its the concept art they showed right?

What was that?

[severe merlin]

You should watch it, there a lot if new info about HN3 🙂

[gentle pebble]

Nikita why does the cash register and tv when activated randomly changes color very fast

[daring gyro]

it's just to signify that it's being interacted with

[gentle pebble]

Would there be a Devlog 2.5 or 3

[split thorn]

probably just 3 since 1.5 seemed like an emergency devlog to tell everyone "yeah we ditched hn2 lmao"

very highly devlog 3

the ".5" devlogs is for emergency

[gentle pebble]

Okay

[hazy fern]

Yea im planning to

Just couldn't be bothered to do so tho rn XD

I won't lie atm hn3 is kinda my least anticipated game out of the trilogy

Where hn1 and hn2 im always excited

For hn3 i just don't feel it yet

[frosty summit]

hello neighbors

[ionic spear]

hi

[frosty summit]

hyd

[shrewd jay]

I think that's the Dr6g5 TV

[nimble walrus]

For me I feel excited for it. Finally at least something different rather then get in a building or their zone and the AI attacks you instantly.

[oblique parcel]

Yeah its nice to get something truly new and Fresh for once

[severe merlin]

For debug purposes. It’s easy to see if this is activated.

[severe merlin]

3

[gentle pebble]

Okay

[severe merlin]

That’s totally fine 🙂 it’s either game is not for you or later you find it great after it gets more developed

[untold grotto]

if you can allow to tell or if it is already determined, what will devlog 3 be about

[pastel basin]

do you guys plan to add breakable glass in the future?

[severe merlin]

Yes. In prototype 2 you can brake whole window (or a door)

[pastel basin]

awesome

[severe merlin]

Only partially.

[pastel basin]

do the npcs now have tasks to fix their window/door?

[hollow coral]

Nice!

[spiral atlas]

I'm assuming for the prototypes we'll see only Jacob Iris and Signed and not any other characters?

[urban steppe]

What would happen if a door has, say, a lock on it? Would it still be breakable then? 🤔

[oblique parcel]

I Think so yes prototype 2 is the same characters just with better ai

[pastel basin]

they will probably add more characters as they progress

[untold grotto]

plus forest dweller

[severe merlin]

I’m not sure actually. I know Jacob can fix stuff, not sure if he fixes windows, though.

[oblique parcel]

Do Signed do the tasks that was shown off back in rbo times?

Sleeping and washing his hands

[severe merlin]

Correct. Prototype 2 is basically much much MUCH beefier version of prototype 1.

[shrewd jay]

When is devlog 3 coming?

[oblique parcel]

Well not yet lol

[loud karma]

he washes his "face" as well

[oblique parcel]

Oh yeah

[untold grotto]

bro we just get devlog 2

like one week ago

if everything goes well there will be new devlog ep every 5-8 weeks

[severe merlin]

For now characters do tasks to reduce boredom, hunger and tiredness. Non of this requires washing a face 🙂

[oblique parcel]

Yeah true

[urban steppe]

Do you think a dirty status will return, somewhat like in HN2, where you can throw stuff at a character to make them dirty?

[severe merlin]

But characters can sleep

[oblique parcel]

Im Assuming this animation Will still be used?

I liked it personally how he takes of his mask and holds it in his hands

[severe merlin]

Hard to say. All depends if it brings value to the current game concept

[urban steppe]

Could be used to distract AI from their task/goal for some time, but maybe there's other ways

[pastel basin]

is the timelimit in prototype 2 longer or as long as prototype 1?

[shrewd jay]

I wan't this animation and the signed animation where he grab him

[ancient marten]

will you guys try to make the ai like in the hn2 ai trailer? or something like that?

[oblique parcel]

No

[pastel basin]

huh

no

this game is different

[white epoch]

touch grass

[simple dragon]

we are so back

[ancient marten]

i meant the path finding or like he learns

[spiral atlas]

Me and @lunar trail made an interpretation of the Statue from Prototype 1 in a Minecraft server, figured this would be the place to post this but if not I'll move it.

[oblique parcel]

For now i Think no learning is planned but i could see basic learning be implemented sometime down the line but defenitly not a neural network

[pastel basin]

any plans for characters to use items against you? (like ted with the glue and vacuum in hn1)

[ancient marten]

it would be cool if they add it at least they started to make alphas and betas

[ancient marten]

more*

[oblique parcel]

I don’t Think Neural network would ever work Ngl even if they wanted it

[urban steppe]

The AI doesn't need learning to be good if it's just smart enough to begin with

[oblique parcel]

Yeah

[ancient marten]

i like how the guest in hn 2 alpha 1/1,5 he threw stuff its really cool

also the ragdoll would be cool if he trips

[fickle oyster]

Hiiii

[ancient marten]

i think

[oblique parcel]

I would much rather have the throwing be like the hn2 alpha’s than hn1 where he just had stuff he threw constantly

[loud karma]

imagine the next teaser we get is the goofiest ragdoll physics

[urban steppe]

tbf we already got one with goofy ragdoll physics where Iris' bones just dissolve

[loud karma]

and right next to it is an actual teaser

[ancient marten]

WOULD LOVE THAT

[oblique parcel]

Ragdolling is confirmed to be in hn3 btw Dave

[loud karma]

nah like the character just getting flung because of some chair getting caught to the character's leg

[muted karma]

there is a animation that unused signed shower animation is that gonna be used for prototype 2?

[ancient marten]

yay

[severe merlin]

In the future, yes. There are plans. Not in P2.

[fickle oyster]

Hii nikita how are you?

[ancient marten]

will there be new ragdoll physics or like in hn2 alphas?

[pastel basin]

there will b

[oblique parcel]

Yes

[pastel basin]

weve seen them already

[ancient marten]

new?

or old?

[oblique parcel]

New

[pastel basin]

new

[loud karma]

probably the same in a way because its unreal engine ragdoll physics

[ancient marten]

cant wait

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

1:40

[muted karma]

are they can shower like signed?

[ancient marten]

like that would be really cool

[untold grotto]

will there be NPCs who will come to rob our home or base, like the vandals who came to our home during the storms in the rbo time, or will there not even be a base for the player?

[simple dragon]

they don't seem to be using physical animation this time (they did in hn2 alphas) but they may add it eventually

[fickle oyster]

Good question🤔

[ancient marten]

i like physicall more fun

i want them to keep the hn2 style with like an new style

[oblique parcel]

?

[ancient marten]

i mean

some textures are the same from hn2 and some are new ones
