hn3-discussion

[oblique parcel]

Well the hn2 ones are problaby Placeholders

[urban steppe]

The fact that a lot of people don't understand the concept of a placeholder or prototype is somewhat concerning

[ancient marten]

yea but i think it would be cool for them to add some of them in final

[fickle oyster]

Maybe they won't keep it because, based on the leaks, the game is very different from the standards of other previous Hello Neighbors.

[oblique parcel]

I Genuinely Seen some very few youtubers refer to the prototype as a beta

[fickle oyster]

at least for me

[ancient marten]

nono i meant like the hn2 textures are cool i want them to add some of them in hn3

[oblique parcel]

Entirely different artstyles though? I don’t Think mixing textures from 2 different artstyles is a good idea

[ancient marten]

yea

[muted karma]

In the video we saw Iris hitting a punching bag. Will there be statuses such as weak, normal and muscular for characters in the game?

[lavish sage]

I'm not the smartest and haven't played the hn3 playtest yet who is the masked guy?

[ancient marten]

like half hn2 half new styles texture

[oblique parcel]

That would be awful

As they are again 2 different artstyles They Shouldn’t be merged

[fickle oyster]

Good question too

[ancient marten]

well idk

[ancient marten]

yea i get it makes sense

is the game gonna be unreal 5?

or 4

[oblique parcel]

Yes

[pastel basin]

5

[oblique parcel]

5

[ancient marten]

k nicee

cant wait

in hn2 did they use 4 or 5?

[untold grotto]

ue4

[fickle oyster]

Nikita, this is a stupid question on my part, so I apologize, but will there be multiplayer in Hello Neighbor 3???

[pastel basin]

no

[oblique parcel]

No

[untold grotto]

no

[pastel basin]

hes said that like 10 times

[ancient marten]

kokosko will prolly make one

[mighty orchid]

Can they not read? It’s plastered all over the prototype that it’s a prototype.

[untold grotto]

like he literally said "while making rbo, I was watching online game making tutorials on YouTube."

[fickle oyster]

Nice

[ancient marten]

cuz theres for hn2

kokosko made one

he prolly gonna make one for hn 3

its like an mod

[tender stump]

he already did

he just didnt release it publically fully

he posted it in some discord

[fickle oyster]

Oh, it breaks my heart because I'm a PS4 player, but it's cool to know about this possibility.

[untold grotto]

he did uet for hn3

i guess

[tender stump]

oh nvm

i thought they were talking about a trainer

but no it was multiplayer

[ancient marten]

i used an ps4

[fickle oyster]

Yes

[pastel basin]

uet or multiplayer

[ancient marten]

i meant i not u

misspell

[fickle oyster]

Ok

[tender stump]

hows prototype 2 coming along right now?

(ping is muted on reply, don't freak out yall)

[ancient marten]

it would be cool after hn3 to make a hn spin off and continue hello guest

[oblique parcel]

Why and no

[ancient marten]

i liked hello guest

and its like an cool idea

[oblique parcel]

Hn3 is already reusing a few ideas and concepts from hg-old hn2 era

[ancient marten]

ay nice

[fickle oyster]

I like hello guest too I'm just shocked to learn that it's not a separate game from hello neighbor 2

[ancient marten]

wait is hello guest canon?

cuz its a prototype?

for hn2

[mighty orchid]

No

[hollow coral]

nice

[oblique parcel]

Nope

For example Guest was litteraly Theodore in hg something hes not anymore

[fickle oyster]

Really

[oblique parcel]

Nikita confirmed it in a interview on youtube

[ancient marten]

wow

so the guest in hg was peterson a fake

[oblique parcel]

He was in the park hiding out with Aaron and mith has bought the park looking for the mayak

[ancient marten]

costume?

[oblique parcel]

It was Peterson in a bird suit but They decided to make guest a seperate character by the hn2 alpha’s

[ancient marten]

but now the guest is a like a entity in hn2?

[oblique parcel]

We don’t know what/who he is

[gentle pebble]

He is human

[ancient marten]

also are they putting the guest in hn3 cuz theres a forest dweller named fake guest that uses like the old hg jumpscare

[oblique parcel]

They are putting guest in hn3

[gentle pebble]

It is confirmed he will come

[ancient marten]

we dont really have proof cuz he jumps super high

[ancient marten]

fav character nice

[mighty orchid]

You’d assume so but then Alex was like “the guest isn’t supernatural at all” though he was talking about the AS so not sure if this even counts.

[ancient marten]

wait wasn't there like jump shoes in hg?

higher jump

[fickle oyster]

In my opinion either the guest is Mr. Peterson's brother or he is an entity

[gentle pebble]

Yes you can get from the mixer machine

[gentle pebble]

He would be Frank

[fickle oyster]

Yes

[ancient marten]

but the neighbor hates crows why would his brother be in a crow costume

[gentle pebble]

Don’t know will have to wait until S3

[fickle oyster]

Okay, what if the crow is an entity that after Frank fell into the hole he was possessed by the crow's spirit? (I'm trying to connect the dots)

[gentle pebble]

They Mayak will also be there in the Finale of the show

[oblique parcel]

Anyways can we get back to hn3 discussion?

[gentle pebble]

Let’s talk about this in HN 1 channel

[fickle oyster]

Ok

[ancient marten]

one question

who was frank

?

[fickle oyster]

sorry for changing the subject

[gentle pebble]

Franklin is Theo brother

[ancient marten]

kk

[fickle oyster]

Kkk

[peak solar]

I wonder if the devs know about how much performance Lumen takes?

[ancient marten]

is there a release date for hn3 p2?

like planned

or maybe

[peak solar]

The game's still in the prototype stage, but I hope in the future they can have the option to disable it

(or at least optimize how the lighting works)

[ancient marten]

im getting 700fps but get huge lag spikes

[ancient marten]

?

[fickle oyster]

No

[stuck lynx]

I think Nikita does

[craggy sparrow]

Yo cone person

[urban steppe]

global illumination -> low
reflections -> low

and it's disabled.

on medium even it would be disabled, though distance field AO stays on medium

but if you want it to be purely like UE4 default then just set both to low

[urban steppe]

And well I'm sure obviously they can tell that the performance with it enabled isn't as good

[oblique sigil]

peaak

[stuck lynx]

This looks really good I love this

[wooden condor]

Nikita, hire this guy to HN3 team

[neon ether]

I can't) I serve in the army.

I just love modeling in my free time.

[urban steppe]

I'd make the shirt a bit thinner, make it look like it's hanging a bit from his chest, also the top of the cone has some shading issues

other than that it's a really good model

[neon ether]

At the top, yes, I fixed it, I'll finish the T-shirt.

[peak solar]

I wonder if the Prototypes will follow a similar structure?

as in, each numbered iteration is a much more improved version of the last, but with the same elements

[warm violet]

Official?

[daring gyro]

no bro

[peak solar]

Nikita basically confirmed that Prototype 2 will be a heavily improved Prototype 1, so I wonder if that'll keep happening until it's at a point everyone's happy with

[warm violet]

Even if it's fan made, it looks very good, respect!

[neon ether]

I also want to make textures, the model is optimized for 15k polygons)

[warm violet]

Good job 👍

[frosty quail]

looks good dude!

[neon ether]

Thanks

[severe merlin]

Kind of but not exactly. We have a certain vision and goals we want to achieve with this game. So we step by step follow this plan.
We basically getting closer to the vision and check if it's what we want and if it's still interesting to play. To achieve the vision and trust the process is our approach

[wooden condor]

Where this vid from? youtube.com/shorts/Ktrm8xHp2yI

[peak solar]

This is actually just from a teaser Nikita shared a while ago

[warm violet]

Hello Nikita

[wooden condor]

Ok ok

[neon ether]

The main thing is to take your time and do with your soul what you are doing great!

[warm violet]

I support

[peak solar]

I'm sort of surprised important AI Systems are getting out of the way this early

[muted karma]

yeah

[peak solar]

It probably won't be the final result, but still

kind of impressive

[warm violet]

Nikita, do you ever plan to share Hello Guest Alpha 2 with the public? Or will it never be published?

[pastel basin]

bro

[stuck lynx]

The chances of him giving out or him even having HG alpha 2 anymore is low

[ancient marten]

i love how Nikita responds to us

[frosty summit]

its in the negatives

[stuck lynx]

True

[frosty summit]

first off

hes on strict ndas

second off

hes on strict ndas

[untold grotto]

theres no hg alpha 2 though

[oblique parcel]

Exactly

The closest to it is rotm but its not even fully hg and i doubt it was mean’t to release at any time

[stuck lynx]

Wasn’t rotm literally just a test map?

[oblique parcel]

Yes basically lol so an hg alpha 2 never existed

[vestal sphinx]

there were videos shared recently of rumble on the mill but I doubt it was ever finished

[peak solar]

Speaking of RoTM, it actually used a form of learning

specifically for figuring out what parts were best for the Mill

I wonder how HN3 will handle AI Learning?

things like AI Memory

[warm violet]

Actually Rumble of Mill(alpha 2) looks really good. I think it would be nice if Nikita shared a build with us. For example, for the 5th anniversary or something like that.

[untold grotto]

rotm is not alpha 2

[oblique parcel]

rotm was basically inbetween hg and hn2 alpha 1 it was just a inbetwen state

[untold grotto]

it also developed after hn2 alpha 1.5 too

[oblique parcel]

huh

[warm violet]

What? Isn't hello guest alpha 2 and the rumble at the mill roughly the same thing? I saw that alpha 2 is exactly at the mill and happens

[untold grotto]

not exactly

[simple dragon]

hg alpha 2 isnt even a thing

[pastel basin]

ye

alpha 2 isnt a thing

[untold grotto]

dont trust fandom

[stuck lynx]

The fandom wiki from what I’ve heard is untrustworthy lol

[pastel basin]

misinformation

[untold grotto]

fandom wiki is the most untrustworthy place lmao

[simple dragon]

misinfomation

[untold grotto]

also rotm developed after hn2 alpha 1.5

[warm violet]

Wikipedia says that this is alpha 2, if this is not alpha 2 then what kind of assembly is it?

[pastel basin]

huh no

[untold grotto]

partially yes

[pastel basin]

it was in november - dec 2019

alpha 1.5 was 2020

[simple dragon]

ROTM was probably just a gameplay concept prototyped that eventually became hn2 alphas

[untold grotto]

well not like develope but yk testing ig

[pastel basin]

???

[untold grotto]

after alpha 1.5 he did smths for rotm

[pastel basin]

where is this coming from

after alpha 1.5 it was alpha 2

[untold grotto]

he said it

[pastel basin]

whos he

[warm violet]

It's sad

[untold grotto]

couldnt find the msg i talking about but it also confirms

[pastel basin]

thats pipehouse

[simple dragon]

this was pipehouse

[pastel basin]

😭

[untold grotto]

wait not

no

its not the msg i talking about

well lemme find it

[daring gyro]

this is one of the reasons why the wiki needs to be obliterated

[untold grotto]

not sure for alpha 1.5 but pretty sure rotm developed after hn2 name

[warm violet]

Yes

[simple dragon]

it was after HG alpha 1 so maybe

[pastel basin]

between hga1 and hn2a1

[simple dragon]

it probably was HN2 by late 2019

[vestal sphinx]

so what was even alpha 2

[pastel basin]

alpha 2 never existed

[untold grotto]

well hg was always hn2

[pastel basin]

canonically yes but gameplay wise no

[vestal sphinx]

kind of like rbo always having been hn3 ?

[untold grotto]

same as rbo & hn3

[untold grotto]

yep

[warm violet]

I think they shouldn't have done hello neighbor 2 but should have continued doing hello guest. I think that would have been better with that scenario.

[untold grotto]

hg was codename for it

[vestal sphinx]

wasn't late night shift the codename ?

[simple dragon]

its the same situation with RBO and HN3
RBO was always HN3 but I'm pretty sure the reason they codename it (as well as HG) is because they don't know if the gameplay will stick (it did not for both situations)

[untold grotto]

lns was prototype name

then it renamed to hn2 and eventually hg

[stuck lynx]

No

I don’t like HG

It was literally just fnaf

And it doesn’t interest me at all

[untold grotto]

use wiki.gg instead of fandom wiki though

[hollow coral]

I loved it

[stuck lynx]

Literally one of the reasons I’m a HN fan still is because the game isn’t just another fnaf/poppy playtime game

HG was literally just another fnaf like game

[vestal sphinx]

not really

[simple dragon]

just because it has a shift system does not mean it is fnaf...

[vestal sphinx]

it was very different from the usual hn gameplay but definitely not fnaf-like

[stuck lynx]

It was had a bit of sandbox sprinkled into it but I still hate it

[pastel basin]

it wasnt fnaf

....

[warm violet]

Fnaf? What fnaf? Have you ever played fnaf? These are two different games in terms of gameplay and meaning, and HG was better than HN2 in concept.

[pastel basin]

last i checked fnaf wasnt an open world management game where you use money to buy important stuff...

[stuck lynx]

I know some people may disagree with me but I just don’t like it

[pastel basin]

ok

[stuck lynx]

It just felt generic imo

[warm violet]

Okay, I have to go, bye everyone.

[fickle oyster]

Bye bye

[vestal sphinx]

going back to the discussion around this message I realised that the pipehouse was from after alpha 1.5, which is surprising because I was told it was from early hn2 before even alpha 1

when was the day night cycle teaser the pipehouse is in posted ?

[simple dragon]

pipehouse was before alpha 1

[daring gyro]

Its like neighborarea
There was a early ver in hn2 alfa 1 but finished was later

[vestal sphinx]

nikita said otherwise

[simple dragon]

the video released before hn2 alpha released so

[vestal sphinx]

yeah but apparently there was a large gap between when the builds were made and when they were released

just like the 3 first builds of hn1 having been made in 2015-early 2016 but released in late 2016

[vestal sphinx]

an early version of the pipehouse ? Do you mean the alpha 1 house ?

[daring gyro]

No Bro there's mentions in the files

[frosty quail]

impressive!

[neon ether]

Thanks

[oblique parcel]

Fire 🔥

[loud karma]

peak

[boreal coral]

what are you making

[blissful river]

You fit him into the screenshot pretty well actually.

But the feet not having shadow give it away.

[covert hemlock]

Still here

[stone elk]

Anyone know if there is a planned way to communicate to the player if an npc is friendly vs agressive towards you since I assume it will not show a debug slider in the full game.

[blissful river]

I believe he said Next Week?

[untold grotto]

he said end of the week

[sage palm]

i hope it stays 🙏

[untold grotto]

it will close after this week

for everyone

[hollow coral]

sad

[untold grotto]

just dont uninstall

[hollow coral]

won't

[untold grotto]

it remained in my library because I didn't delete while it was rbo

[hollow coral]

nice

[rotund anvil]

The steam deck is bugged you can’t pick up items

[oblique parcel]

Bro

[rotund anvil]

I could also try on switch by using Linux

[jade night]

Pipehouse was a concept version of the a1 house during the point they were finalizing lighting with the day cycle, which is why in the day cycle video, pipehouse is visible as a mere rough blockout, most likely not even having an interior, you can still see the testfield/old tree meshes visible.

[daring gyro]

controller support was not thought of

[hazy fern]

Still hoping after hn3 they do ever go back to hn1 and remake it. That game probs deserves a massive overhaul XD

Even change the houses ig

But i wonder would it use hn3s style

Btw different will hn2 and hn3 look?

[untold grotto]

they will

according to alex

they alr prototyped hn1 remake

before starting on hn3

[soft gulch]

i feel if that's true that egs might not be making it

i doubt they would make a prototype of a game and then start another

[untold grotto]

he said we prototyped and then moved on to hn3

probably its smth like

patch 9 - hn1 remake prototype - rbo pre alpha

if we look at it chronologically

[soft gulch]

i don't know if that makes much sense

if the hn1 remake were to still happen at this point

[untold grotto]

its tinybuild 🤷🏻

they alr started planing about hn3 right after hn2 launch

[safe raft]

If they ever get back to it and hopefully Nikita will be in charge of it

[soft gulch]

i hope so

if nikita wasn't in charge of a hn1 remake who knows what even would come out of that

[hazy fern]

Idk if i should talk more about the remake here or in #hello-neighbor

[safe raft]

Yeah it probably would not be that good without Nikita tbh

[hazy fern]

I had an idea to make the plot less confjsinh

Ill say it in hn

[fast mason]

replace "not nicky house" with generic green home and the neighbors house with "huge overly detailed blue house"

[vestal sphinx]

if it was a concept for the alpha 1 house, how come nikita says it was from after alpha 1.5

[jade night]

"Between a1.5 and ROTM"

wanna know whats between that?

a1/early a1

which has pipehouse.

[oblique parcel]

Didnt he just say the gameplay was something between these 2

[jade night]

🤷‍♂️

[vestal sphinx]

what ? alpha 1.5 can't have been before alpha 1

[jade night]

Dude, who is saying that a1.5 is before alpha 1.

[daring gyro]

rotm is before alfa 1 😭

[vestal sphinx]

#hn3-discussion message

[jade night]

Dude, no.

ROTM was a very brief exploration on what HN2 could be, after Hello Guest's park gameplay was scrapped.

[daring gyro]

dude i can say tyhat shit too

did you know beta was before alfa 2

crazy crazy

it's real trust

[jade night]

HN1 Pre Alpha was made after HN3 prototype 1

🙄

[daring gyro]

that gave me a terrible idea

[vestal sphinx]

I understood "between alpha 1.5 and ROTM" as in after alpha 1.5 and before ROTM because of the order

[jade night]

What could it be..

[fast mason]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/923794639436259358/1019384986652135445/91C78876-FE25-4D53-8CAE-978C8BD082A0.gif

[jade night]

The order is weird, but I understand what he was trying to say.

[vestal sphinx]

now I get it too

[jade night]

ROTM was never developed past late 2019.

[vestal sphinx]

but that's where I got confused

[fast mason]

this was after hgp

it wasnt before alpha 1 of hg

oh wait

[jade night]

Dude 🙏

[fast mason]

i thought you meant HG alpha 2

💀

[jade night]

Theres no HG A2

what

theres Hello Guest Episode 2/Chapter 2 in the files, but I wouldn't say it could make an alpha.

[vestal sphinx]

could chapter 2 have been ROTM ?

[jade night]

No

[daring gyro]

there was one video that just spread immense lies about hg

[jade night]

We know what Chapter 2 is.

[fast mason]

funicular

[jade night]

it takes place in the funicular station and you have to get to Mayak using a funicular.

[fast mason]

nether strider or whatever his name was?

[daring gyro]

something like that it just said incredible bs

[fast mason]

i remember lol

but wasnt there like a rotm seperate from HG

[daring gyro]

terrible
that shaped a generational level of misinformation

[fast mason]

i really hope we get something similar to the mill and pipehouse in HN3 but finished and better

[safe raft]

Has anyone tried to make the HN3 Neighbor model based on the concept yet?

[daring gyro]

i'm sleepin on it
i wanted to do it but nah

[vestal sphinx]

I mean it's complicated to know perfectly the development of hn2 considering how little information we have

[jade night]

Random user and Jack & Coke.

[safe raft]

Oh cool

[daring gyro]

sure but that video just spit out shit that wasn't even remotely comparable to truth

[jade night]

Images from both people.

[pastel basin]

lovely chin

[safe raft]

Looks really good so far

[simple dragon]

HGP (early 2019) -> LNS (Mid 2019) -> ROTM (Late 2019) -> HN2 Alpha 1 (early 2020) so on

[vestal sphinx]

by lns you mean hg a1 ?

[jade night]

LNS is a code name for HG, yes.

or original name, I forgot

one of the 2.

[vestal sphinx]

I've heard people saying hgp goes back as far as late 2018

[simple dragon]

Pipehouse could have been in between alpha 1 and 1.5 (I think somewhere it was said HN2 alpha 1 was developed from January to March)

[fast mason]

before HG that name got taken then turned into a fangame so its kinda confusing now

[simple dragon]

yeah

[jade night]

When it started development.

[simple dragon]

it was packaged feb 2019 it was started late 2018 probably

[jade night]

Before A1

[simple dragon]

How do we know

[shrewd shell]

probably since that would be when hide and seek ended development

[jade night]

Because it's the Testfield map.

[shrewd shell]

and it would be time to move onto the next game with hologryph working on sn

[jade night]

and it uses the old trees.

[simple dragon]

yeah?

[jade night]

lol.

[simple dragon]

the old trees could still be in the project

they could just have both of them in the project

[daring gyro]

reminder that hgp has hn1 rifle code in

[simple dragon]

why would they randomly upload testfield footage on diary late 2020

[daring gyro]

and it works

[soft gulch]

i was trying like a week ago but it was looking rather bad so i'll have to redo it

[simple dragon]

"early alpha 1" videos are probably not even early

[vestal sphinx]

isn't it a bit weird to make a new house after alpha 1 just to revert back to the alpha 1 house in alpha 1.5

[jade night]

Me when I show old things from months ago, it's literally a common trend.

[vestal sphinx]

well it's not exactly the alpha 1 house but pretty much

[simple dragon]

Doesn't the guest act like 1.5 in the testfield video tho

[jade night]

No.

[simple dragon]

he gradually gains speed
in alpha 1 he doesnt do this

[jade night]

Rotm had that.

[simple dragon]

alpha 1 didnt

[vestal sphinx]

hn1 prealpha and alpha 1 were released a year after their creation

same for hgp

[jade night]

Testfield is after ROTM, and Testfield is before alpha 1.

🤔

hmmm

I wonder!

[vestal sphinx]

by testfield you mean the pipehouse map right

[daring gyro]

those who crow:

[soft gulch]

for reference, it was looking like this, and this looks quite bad to me, i'll probably start with the head next time i try to model him

[jade night]

This.

Pipehouse was later added.

Also, testfield used a placeholder board mesh, there's no way they would make a duplicate BP lol.

[shrewd shell]

but wasn't hgp finished in 2019

[shrewd shell]

i mean there's no way they made it completely in 2018

[daring gyro]

aint that just the board included in the house

or am i making that up

[vestal sphinx]

also this #teasers message

[daring gyro]

i am starting to forget hn2 freedom

[jade night]

nah

theres boards on the bottom right that are in the mesh.

[vestal sphinx]

the announcement trailer seems to have been recorded in the map that the third video shows

[daring gyro]

it's a variation of that map

[vestal sphinx]

the house in that map has windows

[daring gyro]

the evil AnnounceTrailer

[ancient nexus]

Jacob colored Iris xd

also, deleting the player doesn't crash the game

[daring gyro]

but adding two does !

[ancient nexus]

what would happen if I delete the player and I add another one?

it crashes xd

[hazy fern]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man2-spider-man-tobey-maguire-scream-funny-face-gif-26415898

[covert hemlock]

Chat ded?

[warped bear]

How do i play the prototype?

[balmy sonnet]

is this prototype beatable?

right now im running into all the houses and turning off the generators, unsure why but thats what im doing

and fixing everything that looks broken, but i have no clue how to make progress

[pastel basin]

yeah

[balmy sonnet]

what should i do if i feel lost

[high brook]

restart

[elder kernel]

I wonder what the Guest will look like in the HN3 artstyle

Im absolutly loving the HN3 Artsyle so far

also is the "Forest Monster" meant to be The Guest?

[balmy sonnet]

is there a place i can talk about the gameplay

i see the guy whos breaking everything. i assume thats the major piece of the puzzle for the prototype?

oh sorry.

[nimble walrus]

I think yes, because originally in hello neighbor 2 game Guest was ment to hide in shadows and dark places and try to get you.

Plus Alpha 1 and Alpha 1.5 Guest's house was "abandoned" and if you go in the HN3 game and follow the secret path you can find an abandoned house too with people inside where The Forest Dweller puts them.

Also forgot to mention The Forest Dweller uses same animations as Guest from HN2 Beta game

[elder kernel]

I noticed that

its the exact same jumpscare

[nimble walrus]

To be honest I really wonder how they will execute the guest part. With him hiding in shadows and stuff.

And will there be like a torch or lantern to stay alive in dark places.

[near meadow]

This is terrible and mid

Im just kidding

Its pretty funny and creative

8/10

[nimble walrus]

What the hell did I come back to 😭 🙏

Ngl it would be cool to see an animation

Just an idea: HN3 Prototype 1 in a nutshell

8/10 reminds me of YTP days

[stuck lynx]

outstanding keep cooking

10/10

[earnest cape]

I feel closing the Prototype is the best move, I think each builds should be put up via the HN3 Playtest for short periods of time, this IMO is the best way to get feedback and allow players to try the builds without overdoing things.

[shell nexus]

i should be allowed to play hello neighbor 3, right? it says its an internal prototype and i dont know if that means im allowed to be playing it right now or not 😭

[earnest cape]

Uhh yeah, that’s just saying the game is meant for testing only and doesn’t represent the FG.

[shell nexus]

OOH okay thank you 😭

i dont really know that much about video games

[compact fog]

Ok so, and hear me out, add back the old npc's from hn2. (Which would save time and money) and add the new ai to those, then keep the new npc's and then you will have a full(ish) town. For the next version. Again just an idea

[earnest cape]

The town isn’t supposed to feel full it’s supposed to feel abandoned, also depending when the game takes place some of the characters in HN2 would be dead.

[compact fog]

Ohhh alr

[earnest cape]

Cool idea though, but really for HN3 don’t know if it would work.

[compact fog]

But they were talking abt making the map bigger so maybe a newer, updated version of them

[frosty quail]

new characters would fit better imo

[compact fog]

I know Mr Peterson is coming back so it's possible

[earnest cape]

Uhh depends, they said the map would be bigger if there were more houses and buildings, depending on the amount of locations the map could be small, big or any size.

[frosty quail]

well it is "hello neighbor 3" so it would make sense to bring him back

[compact fog]

True

[earnest cape]

Nikita said he hoped for a lot more characters but it depends.

[compact fog]

I just really liked the feel of hn2 and i feel like an updated model for some older ppl would bring some older players back

[earnest cape]

He said 15 or more characters would be great.

[compact fog]

Oooh I wonder who is next?

[earnest cape]

HN2 was my favorite game, really liked it.

[earnest cape]

But again it depends.

[compact fog]

Yeah hn2 felt balanced unlike hn1 and the houses weren't like 100 feet in the air

It felt explorable

But I really think that this could be the game to redeem the series as a whole

[earnest cape]

Mhm, it wasn’t much of a sandbox but it stayed true to Hans original concept and felt like a huge step up.

[compact fog]

Yeah

And with Nikita on the project, I have a really good feeling about this one

[earnest cape]

It definitely won’t be as stealth focused and is more on the sandbox approach with the sandbox being the Town itself.

[compact fog]

Yeah, i just hope there isn't an excessive amount of platforming

It takes away from the scare factor of the game

[earnest cape]

Agreed.

[earnest cape]

HN3 isn’t aiming to be scary but is going for the world to feel eerie.

[compact fog]

Also like, when is this taking place in raven Brooke's history?

[frigid loom]

I assume end of the hn timeline

[earnest cape]

It’s a failing and decrepit RB so near the end of its lifetime.

[compact fog]

So, this is how it ends?

The neighbor failed to stop the cult and lives on as people continue to dissappear?

[frigid loom]

Maaaybe
Either that or old age or a horrible disaster got to it

[compact fog]

So, it ends with everyone dead except a few people to dissappear from time to time?

[earnest cape]

We know absolutely nothing when it comes to the actual story.

[onyx talon]

Why in the world the neighbor looks like bro is 90 and on the death bed like dude he was like 39 in the last game bro

like what is going on

also keep the same art style as hn2 and 1 caz hn is known for that just make it better less bugy and more scary

I would be mad to loose the art style caz that gives me the hn vibes

that makes it special

[spark stone]

Okok let me explain hn3 takes years after hn2. probably around 2021 ish because of reset day. So he would be around 66 so it makes sense.

[soft gulch]

god no

sorry but hn1's art style looked really weird and bad and hn2's art style it's like, very meh

hello neighbor has had the same looking style since hn1 came out, i'd love a new art style

[vestal pulsar]

Heyo, Im a bit confused

When exactly does that prototype come out?

[soft gulch]

what prototype?

if you mean prototype 2, when the next devlog releases most likely

[vestal pulsar]

the prototype 1 thing they said would be put out for everyone?

[pastel basin]

its been out

[vestal pulsar]

Did I misunderstand that?

oh

[pastel basin]

since like a week

[soft gulch]

it's been out for a week

yeah

[vestal pulsar]

oh where do I play it?

[pastel basin]

steam

[high brook]

i wonder if hn3 will support rtx in the future

[soft gulch]

i don't think it's necessary at all

[sage palm]

i dont see why not

i hope they do

[soft gulch]

i just don't see why would they add rtx support

the game seems to look great already

[sage palm]

yea but if people have a good enough pc to run it theres no harm in adding it for people to use

[vagrant notch]

(CUE LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER)

[soft gulch]

i mean it's kinda true

[vagrant notch]

It's kinda not, like at all lol

[soft gulch]

i did say the same looking style, not just the same art style

hn2 has a some what different art direction from hn1

[vagrant notch]

While it's true that the artstyles main characteristic has remained the same, it's other components have drastically changed.

[soft gulch]

yes there's is little things that do change

tho mainly it comes down to either a different studio making a hello neighbor game, and just that hn2 had the hn1 art style but much more toned down in it's cartoonyness

the main thing that hasn't really changed is the art style of the characters, even tho their designs have been changed slightly, they still remain in the samey kind of art direction

hn3 has a drastically different art style, that even tho it's still recognizable as HN, it's much different and much less cartoony family friendly type

i'd say, hn3 is still cartoony but in a different kind of way

[frigid loom]

I think I’m worried on how hn3 will sell ngl

[pulsar dirge]

Bad

it will not sell good I can tell you yhst

people lost faith in tinybuild

Only diehard fans like ourselves will buy it

[peak solar]

Actually, I think the opposite right now

[pastel basin]

yeah

[pulsar dirge]

no

[pastel basin]

everyone is loving this game

[pulsar dirge]

I am sun tzu

[pastel basin]

plus all that publicity

[pulsar dirge]

my word is sacred so sthu

[peak solar]

the problem with HN2 was that a lot of interference happened

[pastel basin]

they have dawko and 8bitryan playing this

[peak solar]

with HN3, it seems like they're stepping back and just letting the team work uninterrupted

[pulsar dirge]

Game was buns

[peak solar]

it isn't even getting advertised, but youtubers are playing it

[pastel basin]

i thought the hn focused channels were only gonna play it

[peak solar]

It actually means something if people are that interested

also the whole limited keys for playtests thing

[pulsar dirge]

Gone immediatley

W spelling by me

[pastel basin]

wow

[pulsar dirge]

Fusion pulling good views

maybe I'm wrong

[split thorn]

🤚

[pulsar dirge]

See

I am sun tzu

[spark stone]

I am so hyped for the Neighbor to be in Hello Neighbor 3!!! Who else feels the same???

[sage palm]

ME

the design is peak

[flat delta]

yuhh

[stuck lynx]

Muahahaha

[wooden condor]

Guys, what program you usually use to watch UE games files? (like models or code)

[lone birch]

Simple

Download Process Hacker 2
Download Dumper-7 from git
Download Fmodel

Open the game
Open Process-Hacker 2

Inyect the Dumper-7 in the game shipping process
Wait until it generates the SDK and Mappings

Now in Fmodel add the game files, then pull the mappings for the game (In C:/Dumper-7/)
You have it

Its powerfull asf

[oblique parcel]

Is that a 3D Model?

[neon ether]

Yes

[oblique parcel]

Looks awesome

[hallow helm]

why is miku in the prototype

this girl

[hazy fern]

I noticed thid game seems to give characters long legs and short bodies

[hazy fern]

Who is stop?

[hazy fern]

😭 bruh looks nothing like miku.

Ik u said it for the blue hair

[hallow helm]

no bro its definitely miku

[hazy fern]

Cuz now its the time we been waiting for

1

2

3

Ready?

Miku miku beaaam

||i probs cringed everyone out. I single handedly probs destroyed the hello neighbor community XD||

[celest plank]

ginger neighbor bro 🙏

[dapper juniper]

UModel

[hollow coral]

but what if they release prototype 2 as an update for the HN3 playtest

[dapper juniper]

Covered

[untold grotto]

they will

[hollow coral]

I copied all the files anyway if that works

[vestal sphinx]

do you think we're going to be able to downgrade back to prototype 1 after the update ?

[dapper juniper]

no

[untold grotto]

no

it will like rbo

[vestal sphinx]

I hope they'll release all the versions separately after the full game's release like hn1

[untold grotto]

i dont think they will do it for prototypes

[agile kelp]

Wow

[queen fable]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvJS6y7Y5ds&t=8564s

didnt expect they to play it

cool i guess

[untold grotto]

yea the prototype got more attention than anyone expected

[queen fable]

fr
i guess nostalgia for hn1 also helps

[craggy sparrow]

Bro a signed cosplay sounds so cool

[queen fable]

ngl
i really wanna do that

maybe to comic con lol

[craggy sparrow]

Oh nice

[soft gulch]

A signed cosplay is the easiest thing ever

[untold grotto]

just realized devlog Jacob's eyebrows are thinner

[foggy fable]

Idk if its just me. But his eyes seem bigger and wider apart aswell

[untold grotto]

she dont have differences ig

[celest plank]

is there gonna be that eyeball house in hn3

[untold grotto]

mayak?

we dont knoe

[celest plank]

yeah that

i hope there will be i mean judging by the screenshots we have gotten it would really fit the map

[wooden condor]

No, just models

[shrewd jay]

Dweller?

[lone birch]

its

[cunning yacht]

guys i think hn3 will be about hello neighbour. Agreed?

[grand jay]

Nah

[shrewd jay]

Dweller?

[soft gulch]

i don't think i understand much of this

[remote gale]

I'm pissed

Add it back 🙏 please

[earnest cape]

It’s really getting some attention, just hope not too much.

[oblique parcel]

Wdym

[untold grotto]

why

[shrewd jay]

Guys, i finally beat the Hello Neighbor 3 Prototype 1

by myself

[broken crater]

nice

[earnest cape]

I do want people to notice the game and be aware it’s being made, but obviously with YouTubers and such no one’s really going to pay attention to the full picture of the game and not realise it’s a prototype or that it’s an early build, though there are YouTubers who do address it as a prototype which is good but some haven’t.

Too much attention could backfire with people being overly hyped as well.

[celest plank]

matpat aint dissecting that one 😔

[empty shale]

Nikta All I need to know: CAN WE DRIVE IN HN3?!

[spark stone]

In a interview Nikita said drivable cars are not their priority at the moment. So highly unlikely but it'll be cool tho.

[empty shale]

bruh 😭

[spark stone]

@empty shale ye but I'm not that suprised tbh.

[empty shale]

I'm just praying that hn3 prototype 2 Will be good

and way better

[unborn edge]

its gonna be a more fleshed out version of prototype 1 with better level design and ai

[agile kelp]

plus more stealth

[unborn edge]

yeah

[untold grotto]

ragdoll + drivable cars = age limit 📈

hmmm

[tender stump]

you can get run over in hello neighbor 1

[daring gyro]

the kokosko fnaf sb incident

[daring gyro]

🙏 hoping for prototype 2

[fast mason]

what if proto 2 got like a simple tutorial map

you could play at the beginning

[proven bough]

I hope they bring back the mechanics of protecting your own house like from RBO, maybe in the beginning before ending up in Raven Brooks. Someone breaks into your house, kidnaps you and drops you off at raven brooks.

[oblique parcel]

Please No

[proven bough]

what the HECK

my embed permissions

REVOKED

😡

[untold grotto]

well player wont have a house

[proven bough]

I know that, since they've never been to raven brooks. But I'm saying maybe the player could have one in a sort of prologue, and the reason they're in raven brooks is because they get kidnapped 🤷

[nimble walrus]

I think it will still be all busses got cancelled

[untold grotto]

no

its a placeholder story

[nimble walrus]

Or maybe player's friends dared to go to almost abandoned Raven Brooks

[soft gulch]

i feel the plot of all busses getting cancelled may land in the final story

the player has to enter raven brooks some how

and that way has to be as an accident or else it wouldn't make sense

[nimble walrus]

Player was walking down the street maybe until stumbled a sign saying to raven brooks and player was hungry or something.

[untold grotto]

i think we'll be in raven brooks another way

because its a placeholder story for now

[nimble walrus]

Maybe a ghost hunter or something 🤔

[daring gyro]

it is not the time to pull random things out

in fact it is never the time

[nimble walrus]

Tbh yeah

[high brook]

maybe we do the same as in hn2 (investigate stuff for no reason)

[frozen willow]

THE COMPANY TINYBUILD IS THE BEST 🔥🥵

[high brook]

what should i do with this?

its a hn3 project i started

well more like rbo i gues

[lost stream]

Hi everyone, I hear the guy who created alphas of HN2 is back to make HN3 so I'm super hyped for the raven creature 🙌

[high brook]

how do you know this?

[lost stream]

Which?

[soft gulch]

im pretty sure that with "the guy who created alphas of hn2 is back" they mean Nikita

[pastel basin]

he also created hn1

[untold grotto]

he created the franchise

[high brook]

is this rbo enough for an rbo themed project

[spark stone]

hyped for hn3!!

[bright rain]

HN3 probably going to be a disaster!

[vagrant notch]

What makes yiu think that?

Only game i'd say was a disaster was HN2, and that was only because Nikita dipped.

[stray abyss]

Will any of the neighbors in hn3 place traps?

[high brook]

is rbo literally hn3 prototype 0

im assuming it is

[glacial saddle]

how do you get version 1.1.6 of hello neighbor?

[blissful river]

No.

It’s very different.

[sage palm]

rbo was a scrapped multiplayer game theyve just used some of the concepts to make hello neighbor 3

[high brook]

did anyone archive rbo

at all

[soft gulch]

im sure many people archived it

[meager badge]

if you dare you could download it off the internet. wouldn't recommend could get a virus

[cunning yacht]

when will this game come out??

[pseudo spoke]

The full release? We don't know. Definitely not this year though. Most likely won't be next year either.
If I had to guess, the earliest possible time the full game could release would be some time in 2027, but it might take even longer than that.

[frosty summit]

hn3

so cool

[vagrant notch]

Yes and no.

[celest plank]

is the hn3 artstyle final one or are they gonna change it like they did on hn1 full release

[blissful river]

Nikita wants to keep this style. The models will change but not the basic look.

[celest plank]

i liked the hn2 artstyle a lot but that one is fine too ig

[mystic quest]

smth i dont get

like

why does raven brooks change each game

[celest plank]

for real though

just makes no sense

[celest plank]

the only possible reason

would be

hn3 takes place in an another part of raven brooks

but there wont be the petersons house there

and it just wont be hn anymore

[untold grotto]

gameplay elements

[celest plank]

what does that mean

that makes no sense tho

[fiery scarab]

that's just game development mostly

they had time to flesh out the town thus adding more areas not seen in the previous games i guess

granted certain layouts have always been weirdly placed such as nicks house

[rocky tinsel]

hello

[mighty orchid]

It’s like why the neighborhood around the neighbors house is vastly different between 1 and 2. It’s not a story thing it’s just changed for gameplay

[zealous prism]

They shouldve still added Nickys house

[celest plank]

well then that kinda messes up the story of the previous games but idk

[mighty orchid]

Well I see your point but I think we are to ignore the layout of each games map for things that are already known if that makes sense.

[mighty orchid]

Yea I agree

[nimble walrus]

What engine is HN3 Prototype using?

[soft gulch]

Unreal Engine 5

[untold grotto]

ue5.4

[reef basin]

HN4:
Old town somewhere in desert...

Ahh I want hn3 alpha mobile port:/

[craggy sparrow]

D-D-D-Doctorr haleur sauyers

[blissful river]

Unreal Engine 5.4 I think.

[nimble walrus]

Oh nice! Nah just asking because HN2 used UE4 if I am not mistaken

[untold grotto]

yea

hn2 was ue4.27 iirc

[sweet rapids]

ue 5.4

[restive oxide]

Ue5.4.4

[sweet rapids]

oh yeah, you're right

[pastel basin]

will prototype 3 be as big of a step up as prototype 2 will be to prototype 1?

[hardy gate]

when will prototype 2 come out

[broken tartan]

You guys better not mess this one up like hello neighbor 1 and 2

I believe in you

Also here's an actual question: will the lore of hello neighbor 3 be directly connected to hello neighbor 2

[untold grotto]

no

[broken tartan]

Okay thanks

[celest sorrel]

Baldi cooking green stuff

[cunning yacht]

i think the rbo's house would appear

[untold grotto]

no

they dont have plans for rbo house at the moment

[cunning yacht]

k

[broken tartan]

"Every decision is the right one" opens up a large moral dilemma

Like what if I run someone over

[cunning yacht]

did you mean by using a car to run over someone. dont think its the right one your saying

[neon ether]

Little concept of Televed

[broken tartan]

That's cool

[bright rain]

HN3 might not be good

[severe merlin]

Depends, more yes than no

[pastel basin]

interesting

[bright rain]

will Prototype 2 be better then prototype 1?

[pastel basin]

yeah

[severe merlin]

"every decision is the right one" not in a context of morality, but in a sense that game doest tell you how to achieve you goals.
Whatever you do to achieve it counts as long as it works for you.

[crisp chasm]

This is horrible

[bright rain]

Will the Guest be like that statue in prototype 1?

[severe merlin]

You'll tell me after you play it 🙂

[hidden oak]

how is going the progress of prototype 2 btw?

[severe merlin]

Going great 🙂

[crisp chasm]

What happened to Nicky in Hello Neighbor 3?

[pastel basin]

are you guys happy with the feedback from hn3 prototype 1?

[bright rain]

Will the Guest be like that statue in prototype 1?

[severe merlin]

Yes! We happy that people really liked it. It really inspires us to create

[pastel basin]

hopefully the youtubers get to play prototype 2

[untold grotto]

will the endings in prototype 2 be the same as in prototype 1? i mean, will it be just a text

[broken tartan]

I believe in you that this time the full game won't suck 👍

[pastel basin]

the prototype sold me on hn3

[crisp chasm]

I have two questions

[broken tartan]

Nah they already left

[crisp chasm]

Well, another time will be.

[reef lark]

.

[pastel basin]

you think the guest design will recieve as much love as the neighbor design?

[soft gulch]

Nikita had said before that if you loved the neighbor's design, you may probably like the guest's design as well, and considering how many people liked the design, i assume that will be the case

[pastel basin]

mm

[high brook]

WHERE??!?!

[celest plank]

i bet the guest is gonna have a cracked beak just wait and see gyuys

[foggy plaza]

Will the Guest be in prototype 2 or will they still keep forest dweller as a temporary barrier

[celest plank]

the forest dweller isnt a placeholder for the guest

[blissful river]

Just curious, what made y’all change the lighting so much? It doesn’t look bad, honestly looks better in some areas, but yea.

[celest plank]

its for someone else idk i forgo

[foggy plaza]

Coned but he def won’t be the big bad for the forests areas

Wait that’s my pfp

[soft gulch]

i don't think it's coned's placeholder

a forest dweller doesn't make much sense as a vandal i feel

[hollow coral]

R.I.P RBO Pre-Alpha

[celest plank]

i think its a placeholder for the uh

[celest plank]

these crowfaces from the animated series

[soft gulch]

the cultists?

[celest plank]

ig

[blissful river]

It looked so good…

[hollow coral]

Ikr...

[foggy plaza]

That’s why I said it wouldn’t be the big bad for the forests areas

[blissful river]

I love the old foliage.

[foggy plaza]

And lighting

[blissful river]

Yep.

[hollow coral]

I love the house

[foggy plaza]

Co-op with walkie talkies 😎

[blissful river]

So good.

[foggy plaza]

Well, hn3 is still good too

[blissful river]

Yes for sure.

And it keeps the same style

But the glow down for the prototype is kinda sad lol.

[foggy plaza]

And the tree placement, but the lighting and foliage still looks great in areas

It just feels like they spammed the new foliage everywhere

[celest plank]

the map kinda feels dry at least in prototype 1 idk how to explain

[blissful river]

Yes.

[blissful river]

Yeah

And idk I don’t like it better ngl

[foggy plaza]

I think is because the locations don’t look much decent (other than gas station) because of how unfinished they are, they want the atmosphere to be eerie/uncanny/familiar but the locations weren’t really the focus in the prototype, the only thing they really had were new foliage for the map

Holy yappington

[soft gulch]

i feel he may actually be a placeholder for the guest in some way, mainly because him being a forest dweller would fit him, plus he brings you and everyone he kidnaps to some sort of nest in the basement of an abandoned house

[high brook]

who

also did prototype 1 get an update

[celest plank]

no i get how prototype 1 was just for ai testing but like the bushes and stuff felt so dead lol

[peak solar]

Some of the foliage actually comes from an asset pack

It's just a placeholder for right now I think

[upper glade]

when is prototype 2 dropping

[high brook]

i like them

i really hope they dont change

they look awesome

[peak solar]

I still think they could be redone and stylized, but that'll be when the game is in very late development

[high brook]

@soft gulch could this be from the guest?

[peak solar]

Actually, in RBO, there used to be a dragging system similar to the Hello Neighbor 2 Alphas

I kind of hope it returns in some way, because it makes the gameplay feel uninterrupted

[high brook]

wait

is that the guy from the other server im in

[soft gulch]

unless his head is actually looking up all the time or the animation will be changed or something, i don't think so

[blissful river]

All of it does.

[soft gulch]

i actually got the animations to work and his head would be straight up on this animation

[high brook]

can i see them

if u able to share

[blissful river]

They just have custom textures and some of the models are slightly edited.

[pastel basin]

share?

[high brook]

like share the footage

idk

[hollow coral]

FR

[high brook]

the anim i found might be the guests anim bc the start frame kinda matches the pose he is in

in the screenshots

[quartz canopy]

if the animations name has "signed" in it then i doubt it

[pastel basin]

its simplecharacter catch

it just used signeds skeleton

[quartz canopy]

ohhh thats why it says skm

[soft gulch]

sure

[quartz canopy]

regardless
i am
pretty sure this animation is used for signed in the prototype

[pastel basin]

it isnt

[soft gulch]

it's used for the forest dweller

[pastel basin]

yeah

[soft gulch]

signed has no catch animation

[quartz canopy]

oh yeah i confuse the names of those two

[pastel basin]

so forest dweller has his head up always

weird

[soft gulch]

i mean

[craggy sparrow]

Thats cool

[craggy sparrow]

It fits him well

[soft gulch]

this animation is used for the forest dweller and i assume it was made with the placeholder model in mind and not the guest one

[high brook]

u really should release that guest model

its so good

also i think the strings on the hoodie are a little weird tho

since they are to the side

[pastel basin]

they dont have physics

[soft gulch]

in the banner they are to the side

unless they are like this

[craggy sparrow]

[high brook]

i think thats it

or he could be leaning a little

also this is just an experiment but what if u put a traffic cone for his head instead of the beak

i just wanna see what that would look like

[broken tartan]

why does that one guy just make the billboard collapse for no reason in the prototype

i literally watched him do it

[high brook]

is that the car crash part?

[broken tartan]

which causes some other fella to crash]

[soft gulch]

like this?

[high brook]

yes lol that doesnt look to bad actually

[broken tartan]

the sign faced guy makes the billboard collapse causing the car crash

and then the guy in the car goes into the forest and dies

OH if i got some tape i could fix the billboard saving that person

i finally understand what they meant by all that stuff about your decisions meaning stuff

[soft gulch]

also i had to move them down too because they would be here if not

since the laces come from signed and he has them around there

[craggy sparrow]

🧏🏻

[soft gulch]

so my conclusion is that in the banner he's more like this

and maybe that's why in the screenshot of him in a house stalking jacob he doesn't have the laces

[high brook]

ok

what if u gave him more neck atleast

[clever walrus]

We caught him in my house

I

[daring gyro]

don't forget about the ropes around the beak

[craggy sparrow]

I like the new haircut

[celest plank]

in the original pic of this guy i thought the glove was a fish or sm 🙏

[magic hollow]

It's suppose to be. a horror game but it's turning more into a simulator,

Are we actually gonna get real horror from this one ? It feels like the game is forgetting the original purpose

[pastel basin]

its not meant to be horror

its meant to be eerie

[untold grotto]

hn was never a horror game though

[soft gulch]

hn1 was meant to be a thriller

it being horror as far as im aware was something that tinybuild marketed the game as to join in with the popular horror games like bendy and fnaf

[vagrant notch]

I'd argue it was given how the pre alpha was structured, but that idea didn't last too long.

[quick crow]

tbh i just wish they released the hn1 prototype animation or not

even if its scripted

[daring gyro]

fo whaat dude

there's literally no reason to

[quick crow]

the bot just went insane

[daring gyro]

no i just typed what with a bit more a than normal

[quick crow]

anyways if devgamm animation got released then im sure prototype can get released too-

[soft gulch]

i don't think they could release it

mainly because i kinda doubt they still have it

but also because there's like nothing you can do on it

since it's super scripted

[quick crow]

true

[daring gyro]

prototype is in engine

[quick crow]

devgamm was a blender anim

still a chance

[soft gulch]

yeah because devgamm was a pitch for the idea of hello neighbor

[quick crow]

true

[soft gulch]

the so called prototype of hn1 was made for the official first reveal of the actual game

i say so called because i don't know if i should called it a prototype

[jade night]

public showcase render

more like

[soft gulch]

ehh

it was an in engine build

[jade night]

you can call that a render lol

render isn't specifically for blender.

[soft gulch]

tho completely scripted so

no yeah im aware

it's just weird to me to call it a render since a render i associate it with art programs and not a game engine

[jade night]

Prototype (in game engine terms), is more about creating a rough version of the gameplay, no effort towards visuals.

The announcement trailer is heavily focused on visuals, and sound design.

[soft gulch]

but yeah that would still in a way be a render

since it's scripted and only shows what the gameplay could be, and not proper gameplay

[jade night]

Early prototype shouldn't be "early" tbh

it's literally THE prototype of HN.

[low gate]

no

[magic hollow]

Eh what difference doesn't make?
The first game was disturbing and the alphas too. I call it a horror game

[mighty orchid]

How do you even find this

[soft gulch]

the first game was not disturbing what

it was not horror at all

[mighty orchid]

You mean the dark parts of it you didn’t find disturbing in any way?

[soft gulch]

i mean yeah, when i was like 10

[sage palm]

hn1 full release was not a horror game

[mighty orchid]

The only issue with this and it was already brought up above was that they marketed it as horror.

[magic hollow]

So I've been lied to ?🗿

What is it then ?

[sage palm]

its too buggy, broken and vibrant for me to be remotely scared by anything in that game

[soft gulch]

i think some of the parts that are in some way disturbing is like, one of the dream thingies with the rollercoaster, and i would say the minigames you do to get the abilities you need to complete the game but those are just frustrating to me now

specially the school one, i don't know what even was were they thinking with that

[mighty orchid]

It’s like red light green light but on green light your still in danger which is not very fun in my opinion

[tight silo]

is that fanmade or....?

[magic hollow]

It's not the neighbor I'm talking about when I say horror
It's the thing he was pretty awesome and creepy I liked it

[sage palm]

the shadow thing?

[magic hollow]

Yea

[mighty orchid]

Yea was also very loud

[sage palm]

i didnt find it creepy just because the whole game didnt set that character up good

[magic hollow]

He's my favorite character in the series

[magic hollow]

Oh come on, he had aura

[sage palm]

how?

you see him like three times

[mighty orchid]

I guess since he’s the characters fear it would only show up post act 2. Do not bring up the show since it didn’t exist yet.

[soft gulch]

yeah man he had so much aura

[magic hollow]

That's enough for me lol
Don't judge but I used to have nightmares about him ‏(￣▽￣)

[tight silo]

i wonder if in SOME way, if the guest and the thing are aware eachother exist?

[soft gulch]

appears like three times in the game and that last time you just stand on front of him like 6 times and then it falls over and dies

[mighty orchid]

It’s in the fear rooms too but kinda out of the way and missed

[sage palm]

thats just sad

[mighty orchid]

I feel like for a beginner it’s disturbing because you don’t know what it is but after beating the game it’s just like ok

[sage palm]

its just not creepy
