[agile quartz]

They are making a hello neighbor 1 remake? What did I miss? And is it official?

[oblique parcel]

They might after hn3 according to Alex but not rn

[grim lark]

They said a year or two back
prob after hn2. Though obv thats not happening at least now

[untold grotto]

then alex confirmed again they prototyped before hn3

[oblique parcel]

Yeah

[untold grotto]

and it will probably after hn3

[zealous prism]

wait really

that sounds awesome

[high brook]

i guessing the neighbors house (if it is gonna be in hn3) is gonna look more realistic with more irl looking stuff

like not all weird and crooked

like a normal house

[loud karma]

its probably gonna look weird and crooked still because of it being run down

which is something that does happen in real life

[high brook]

well not as crooked ig (like less weird proportions)

[daring gyro]

if it's post act 3 it's gonna look like charcoal and plinths

[mystic topaz]

yeah

[cerulean prawn]

hold on prototype 1 released?

[arctic pecan]

yea but looks you mist it tho

[swift dagger]

Neighbor lost his converses

[heavy snow]

Does anyone remember dark riddle?

Bruh

My message got deleted because i said the word
Ded

[severe merlin]

btw, some people asked for the music from devlog 2. Here it is

[simple dragon]

W

[fast mason]

well done

[sonic birch]

THANK YOU!

[tepid flicker]

Does GT stand for GrandeTuristo?

[sonic birch]

game theory

[simple dragon]

yep

[severe merlin]

I actually not sure. Seems like it. Those are not real names of the tracks as I renamed them when exported for the video. Not sure why named them this way

[tepid flicker]

Fair enough!

[pastel basin]

do you plan on releasing the devlog 3 music?

[tepid flicker]

How come you renamed these ones? You've never done that before...

[pastel basin]

whenever it comes out

[mystic topaz]

I really like the gentle feel

[dawn sail]

when do you plan on releasing prototype 2?

[late veldt]

hey nikita while you're here ive been wanting to ask a question for a while, is there a specific reason why characters dont speak in hn games? im assuming its just a stylistic choice but ive always wanted to know the reason behind the decision

[tepid flicker]

I think he answered this during one of the Time Machine livestreams

[sonic birch]

i hope we can get the music from this video https://youtu.be/X99MKk0a8XU?si=oOVHwGZwOnfruE6T if we havent already.

[mystic topaz]

Relax 1 and 2 are my favorites

[late veldt]

i wasnt there for that sadly

[heavy snow]

w man

[tepid flicker]

Not only will voice localisation (expensive) not be required by just using grunts, gasps etc., but it can also be played and understood on a global scale when it comes to the storytelling.

[late veldt]

thats a pretty good reason actually lol

[heavy snow]

Wth

I didn't spam

That was weird

[mystic topaz]

real

[agile quartz]

Is that real?

[mystic topaz]

fr though that looks good but no its fanmade someone made it

[sonic birch]

no

[sonic birch]

no

[agile quartz]

Ok

[dawn sail]

yeah its fanmade

its called HNR

[sonic birch]

please #fangame-discussion

[heavy snow]

Damn

[dawn sail]

whats that

[heavy snow]

Yeh

Whats that

[sonic birch]

id:customize get the modding and fangames role

then post that in #fangame-discussion

[swift dagger]

How do u make these masterpieces fr

[ancient jolt]

Speak portuguese?

[high brook]

i wonder if the music from devlog 2 will be used in prototype 2

[cunning yacht]

Gtrelax03 seems to reference hello neighbor hello neighbor 1 act 1 cutscene

[frozen mauve]

thx

[frozen mauve]

its alr there

[high brook]

wdym the video literally uses 1 whole song (i think)

with subtle game audio here and there

[misty linden]

I don't know what happen when I send sticker it's say I spam

And also picture cannot send

[earnest cape]

Thanks Nikita, needed this.

Gtrelax03 gives off a lot of that weird uncanny vibe, while Gtrelax01 and 02 both give a very safe feeling, love these tracks.

[swift dagger]

Chat there will be more characters in hn3

[blissful river]

Hopefully Yes.

[mystic topaz]

I really like the concept where we can interact and help people in HN3

I really found that fun in Prototype 1 where we could choose to either fix the fork in the road or let Jacob die

I can't wait to see where else they'll go with this concept next

honestly HN3 is looking pretty good so far

[swift dagger]

Yeah I wonder if there’s gonna be any more hello neighbor games after hn3

[celest plank]

NAHH

I DO

guys yk how hello neighbor 3 is supposed to have that eerie and familiar feel

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

like i swear i heard those before

theyre making it all wayyy too familiar

[mystic topaz]

probably not at least in my opinion I don't see any other games after the 3rd one the 3rd one seems more of a good spot to end the franchise but who knows I could definitely see spinoffs though

but I don't think they'd make a Hello Neighbor 4

[oblique parcel]

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWUsSdf3H0YIdLAdNKXSQAfwwm2JPPzDF&si=znaR6oYH8lseZ84C

btw

New music direction for hn3

[celest plank]

it would be cool if they did a chill music while ur outside

like maybe it would fit more at night

[mighty orchid]

I have an odd feeling about that

[peak solar]

Hello Neighbor 3 is probably the last main HN game

[mystic topaz]

yeah

[mystic topaz]

I like The Beginning song

[peak solar]

well, there's also the Hello Neighbor 1 Remaster, but that's far in the future

and that's assuming hn3 does well enough

[earnest cape]

At first I felt 2 should’ve been the last one and when 3 was announced it sounded really bad of a move but my opinion changed and it seems like this is what the franchise needed, if all goes well I 100% think this should be the final mainline game, anything more would just feel like milking the franchise as much as possible.

Only thing mainline afterwards should be remakes and remasters.

[oblique parcel]

I just hope they take at least 2-3 years working on it considering still how ambitious it is

[kindred crag]

I guess hello neighbor will end after we complete the lore

[marsh hornet]

Y'all msg me "bread" for a suprise

[soft gulch]

I think it came out pretty good (I didn't model the hands, I just reused the ones from signed)

I think he does blend quite well with the other ones

I just need to make textures for the model and get him rigged and that's about it

[restive oxide]

He Tall

I mean

Jacob alone is 6' 6"

[frosty summit]

absolute peak

[soft gulch]

Pretty sure Jacob is 5' 5"

At least according to the height chart from devlog 2

He's around 1,70 meters

[frosty summit]

short king

[soft gulch]

Theo does seem to be around 6' 5" tho

Pretty tall

And of course that is him slouching

If he was stading up properly he'd be a bit taller

[frosty summit]

long king

[restive oxide]

Oh wait yeah your right

[errant pewter]

Great job!

[heavy snow]

MAN
BOTH OF US USED TO PLAY IT SINCE WE WERE KIDS

Since we couldn't find hello neighbor on mobile

Ahhh
Good old' days

[heavy snow]

Yeh unless of hello neighbor 3 is a FAILURE
Then they would probably make hello neighbor 4

[heavy snow]

Who knows

Maybe we might expect something else

But who knows

[sturdy field]

Nah We believe Nikita

[paper ledge]

if anyone needs it, I created the same playlist on spotify

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5CMwlkQ4rLV1ZN6EwxuZ1y?si=257a41b2053847af

[old pawn]

Imagine if they do HN3, HN remake and then finish the 2nd one (im delusional)

[misty linden]

Omg

[tidal swallow]

plastilin naxyu

[urban steppe]

With a few tweaks, some more detail and proper textures it would look really good

[frosty summit]

hello!

[frosty gyro]

Howdy

[frosty summit]

hyd sound!

[frosty gyro]

Good

[frosty summit]

thats great to hear

imagine if hn4 was made

[frosty gyro]

Hello neighbor 4 is a fully lived in village in the middle of a city

[frosty summit]

wayron croobs

[frosty gyro]

Raywno sborbco

[frozen mauve]

i can still be distracted from the song audio

[earnest cape]

Please don’t give an HN4, anymore mainline games and it’s just gonna be milking it.

[frosty summit]

yea

[earnest cape]

It’s not that it could be bad, but for a franchise with its track record there’s only so many games you should make, quality should always come over quantity, even if HN4 was super good and amazing it would just be unnecessary and feel like tB is trying to milk out as much as they can tell they can’t.

I’m fine with HN3 since it seems like a good stopping point for the franchise, anything afterwards should just be spin offs or remasters and remakes.

[frosty summit]

money is money for tB

[earnest cape]

Yup, which is alright for a company but if it’s hurting your franchise why do it.

[frosty summit]

100% agree

[earnest cape]

If HN3 ends with a proper conclusion and gives a good stopping point, then anything more mainline is unnecessary.

[earnest cape]

Like look at FNaF for example, FNaF 6 was the most perfect ending they could have, but then they started making more and now I don’t even know what the plot is.

[frosty gyro]

true

[earnest cape]

There’s other games with just as good of an example, there’s a reason why Miyazaki HATES the idea of a 2nd Elden Ring, because it’s so pointless since the game is already good where it’s at and giving a sequel would just be milking the game.

[untold grotto]

aint theres something like upcoming elden ring multiplayer

which is made entirely to make money

[frosty summit]

elden ring nighreign has thought put into it

[obtuse hornet]

Ted/Neighbor is around 6' 7"

[soft gulch]

Oh yeah for sure, it still needs proper textures and it's still low poly at the moment

And I do think there could be done some tweaks to the head

Idk but it still looks off in some way to me

[earnest cape]

Nightreign is a passion project and isn’t a mainline game as it’s a spin off separate from Elden Ring.

Also Miyazaki isn’t working on Nightreign as far as I remember.

[gentle pebble]

Nikita by any chance do you have Theodore’s Timelapse

[oblique parcel]

Ohhh I would love to see that

[gentle pebble]

And when the full game would release would the prototypes and demos have there own steam page like the pre alpha to alpha 4

[simple dragon]

why not just make them under betas tab on the hn3 steam page

[untold grotto]

why would they spend 100$ for prototypes

this is not much for them though

but

whats the point of it

[gentle pebble]

So people can replay it like the pre alpha, alpha 1 and all

[untold grotto]

put it on betas tab

[misty linden]

🤔

[untold grotto]

instead of creating a new page

[soft gulch]

i tried seeing how it would look like if he was standing properly

[gentle pebble]

I hope we do get it

[celest plank]

bro got 10 years younger 🙏

[soft gulch]

oh yeah i tried adding a rig to him, specifically i tried to add the universal rig from the game, but because of the way i edited to fit the shape of this model, yeah i don't think it worked

this is using jacob's idle

[frosty gyro]

Double chin

[limpid pewter]

tbh prototype 1 is funner than hn 2

[hidden oak]

true

[frozen mauve]

guys the tall dude dissapereed in the menu screen

go to steam (if u dident uninstall prototype 1) and look at the banner

[untold grotto]

its prototype 1's banner

[gentle pebble]

He is there it’s just that it is hidden you have to increase the brightness of the image

[frozen mauve]

yeah ik

[untold grotto]

the hn3 banner still have the guest brightly

[frozen mauve]

why u think its the guest

[untold grotto]

its 98% the guest

[celest plank]

i literally cant wait for prototype 2

ill explode rn

[untold grotto]

it have a beak

[celest plank]

will the hn3 guest have a golden apple in his beak

[restive oxide]

Maybe

[celest plank]

we never got to know why he has an apple in his beak

i mean at least i dont know

[restive oxide]

the guest had something to do with the golden apples

he used to inhabit the theme park

in hello guest

[untold surge]

prototype 2 when?

[high brook]

maybe add some weight painting and stuff and adjust the rig

[soft gulch]

i think i should not adjust the rig if im using the game one

i did that for it and it just messed up stuff so i think what i should do is

have the neighbor be straight up

and then with the rig have him slouching

like signed

[high brook]

also if u use the model in a render u should use actual hair particles or somtin (so his hair isnt smooth and weird)

[soft gulch]

he doesn't really have any textures yet

i'd do that last

also i feel i should use hair cards instead

hair particles just make my pc die

[high brook]

maybe if u ever release the model i could do the particle thing? (i have a pretty strong pc)

im pretty good at rendering stuff too

i might try some hair particles on the hn2 neighbor rn (for a basic test)

[celest plank]

hey guys

[inner sierra]

how can i download the hn 3 prototype? 😄

[celest plank]

the playtest is closed

you'll have to wait for when prototype 2 comes out

[inner sierra]

aw

alr

thanks for telling me!

[restive oxide]

I really hope that HN3 full game is moddable

the prototype isnt really

[daring gyro]

It Is but ue5 Is trash

[restive oxide]

It is

just much more complicated

and not anywhere near as easy as HN2

[dawn sail]

guys does anybody have hn3 devlog 1 music

[frosty gyro]

Its pinned in this channel

The first pin has them

(its the one with haze and memory)

[high brook]

its not trash

we just dont have much software for it yet

[daring gyro]

no it's shit

modding aside too

[sturdy field]

It is

[high brook]

i hope nikitia teases the guest the same way he did with the neighbor

like the concept art

[dawn sail]

how do you find it

nvm

[dawn sail]

what about devlog 1

[daring gyro]

it's the first pin

[dawn sail]

thats devlog 1.5

[sturdy field]

It is a torture but I agree

[untold grotto]

he wont

he said guest reveal will be different

for something special

[high brook]

didnt he say he would be revealed in devlog 3?

[sturdy field]

Really!?!?

Imagine Guest attacks Nikita on devlog 3

[sturdy field]

Little arg would be good

[untold grotto]

no

he said in future episodes

not future episode

[sturdy field]

Nikita is love Nikita is life

[untold grotto]

it would be in ep 4-5-6 we dont know actually

[sturdy field]

Do you think how many episodes we will get?

[peak solar]

wait, what?

[oblique parcel]

Devlogs

He Said this a long time ago so he problaby Didnt knew at the time

[sturdy field]

[untold grotto]

for a special devlog probably

[peak solar]

as a joke, I feel like he'd 100% just go into photoshop, and drag the Guest's outfit onto the Neighbor

[sturdy field]

Maybe that is a devlog which is telling base game

[sturdy field]

That would be funny

[untold grotto]

excited that hn3 will be a mix of RoTM and The Empathy

[sturdy field]

[cyan hamlet]

?

[untold grotto]

?

[cyan hamlet]

??

[steady geode]

[sturdy field]

We dont know what games you said about

[cyan hamlet]

I don't understand

[daring gyro]

this is rotm and empathy is another thing that's too long to explain

[cyan hamlet]

Wait context please

[sturdy field]

Soooooo... Im gonna eat lemon

[untold grotto]

basically

rotm is the prototype which created after hello guest before hn2 alpha 1

and the empathy is nikita's dream game since 9 years

[sturdy field]

Ahhh thank you

[untold grotto]

the idea of it comes his mind while hn1 was in prototype

[sturdy field]

Have we any photos?

[untold grotto]

no its just ideally

[jade night]

Wrong

[untold grotto]

ah them

[cyan hamlet]

Have we any videos?

[untold grotto]

just forgot they even existed

[untold grotto]

yea

nikita posted some of gameplay

[mystic topaz]

he made a song named on empathy too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMugyYpssfg

[untold grotto]

you can find it in youtube

probably someone reuploaded it to youtube

[sturdy field]

I think it will be next big game of Nikita's after hn3

[untold grotto]

nikita wants hn3 mix of rotm and empathy

[sturdy field]

That man needs enough money and enough time

[grizzled pecan]

I want to get all content we lost in HN2 after HN3

[jade night]

Not happening

[grizzled pecan]

Project mayak, detective, second officer, RoTM, full Hello guest, guest house

Really much

I think if something one will return it will be already cool

[cunning yacht]

dude fr

[cunning yacht]

and alpha 2 of hn2

[earnest cape]

No.

[jade night]

ROTM is coming back in HN3, guest house is HN2A1/HN2A1.5

like what

[grizzled pecan]

I think from concepts and trailers that HN2 alpha 2 Its just HN2 beta with HG art style

[tacit breach]

Can't loose something that doesn't exist

[grizzled pecan]

And alpha 2 is nothing interesting we can see new except old style town

[earnest cape]

That’s…what? No, game is just based off reference.

[jade night]

Things from ROTM are coming back

[earnest cape]

Alpha 2 was literally just take a picture of Ted and games done.

[earnest cape]

When was this said?

[grizzled pecan]

We have a lot content from Hello guest and hello guest prototype HN2 alpha 1-1.5 we didn't get.

[jade night]

I don't have everything noted down, and it's pretty obvious already since we already have the hurricane.

[earnest cape]

Because it was scrapped, if it’s scrapped, it’s scrapped.

[grizzled pecan]

They scrapped content we had. That's mean we lost content

[earnest cape]

We don’t know if it’s a hurricane, we have a storm, ROTM was just centered around the Mill and Mayak with The Guest conjuring a large storm, none of that is coming back as far as we know.

[grizzled pecan]

That's true?

[jade night]

Do you not see the Hurricane/Tornado formation IN the mesh itself?

[earnest cape]

Just because they showed something or they gave a dev build doesn’t mean it’s meant to be seen.

[earnest cape]

Again, it’s a storm, ROTM also yes was a storm, but most games have some sort of storm in it.

[jade night]

Dude

🙏

[grizzled pecan]

Well if you say so. You can say that HN2 is completed product?

[jade night]

what might this be? 🤔

[earnest cape]

That’s common knowledge, ever since its final update it IS the final product.

[jade night]

and if we take a look at the formation of hurricanes! hm!

[earnest cape]

Once again, just a storm, quite literally Nikita said it’s a storm, that’s all it is till we know more.

Not that hard to understand.

[jade night]

It's not that hard to put the pieces together that if HN3 is mix of Empathy, and ROTM, and the fact that there is a storm, which in the mesh has the shape of a Tornado/Hurricane, and there being a Tornado/Hurricane in ROTM, that we might be dealing with the Hurricane or Tornado here.

[grizzled pecan]

It is the final product. But this game just have 2 hours of gameplay and just ends with cliffhanger its not looks like finished

[earnest cape]

Your digging way too deep, it’s a prototype that is nothing like the final product, as we know in game all there is to it is a storm that was coming towards the Town.

[grizzled pecan]

Well. We all know that RB was suffered by hurricane

[earnest cape]

I’ve said this before, the only reason it seems unfinished is because of the development, put that aside and to any other person who wasn’t aware of the development it’s going to seem as full as it is.

[jade night]

I think we all know that it's a prototype, common knowledge, but can we not take what we know, and just say it's a hurricane?

Just because it's labled as a simple "storm" doesn't mean it's just a storm, it's dangerous enough to cause an ending.

[earnest cape]

We can’t say it’s one since there’s not much to say so, same reason we can’t just call Tall Guy The Guest when we haven’t seen much of him, one swirl in the mesh of a storm that is made up of clouds and other swirls doesn’t change much that we know.

All we can say is it’s a storm no need to overthink it.

[grizzled pecan]

Well. It doesn't finished anyway. Its and with cliffhanger and give many questions. And that questions we can't answer with any knowledge we can have with it

[earnest cape]

Well not really an “ending” just that you ran out of time, won’t call getting electrocuted an “ending”

[jade night]

We do know tallman is a somewhat placeholder version of the guest, because evidence of the rig with the beak aligning with the Steam images.

[earnest cape]

Doesn’t give questions, we know the entire plot of the game, yes it doesn’t make sense at all for anyone who’s first playing the game and most of its lore is locked in the RBBA.

[earnest cape]

Like I said, we can’t say much since we have such little stuff, it’s too early into development to be sure about things or to say 100% something is something, so it’s better to just say what it is that we know.

[grizzled pecan]

All hurricane is swirling

[jade night]

It's basic logic.

[earnest cape]

Yeah fair, but again nothing is 100% till we know it is.

[earnest cape]

A hurricane doesn’t swirl in different directions it’s huge fog like storm with crazy wind.

[grizzled pecan]

We have proof that cone man is the guest placeholder

[jade night]

Oh, I thought it was a prototype, I guess not.

:/

[grizzled pecan]

Anyway everything can change while it development

[earnest cape]

Same reason you can’t say it’s something, it’s called a storm, referred to as a storm, it’s a storm nothing more, too early to say anything more about it.

[jade night]

Also, RBO was going to have a hurricane, so why can't HN3 have it.

[earnest cape]

I never said it isn’t a hurricane, I said that it’s too early to assume it’s something we don’t know 100%.

Anyways.

[grizzled pecan]

We already have hurricane in prototype

[grizzled pecan]

Anyway this storm clouds in HN3 more like placeholder for more realistic one

In prototype 2 maybe we will see it

[brave heart]

if this doesn't play at some point in the game as an easter egg I'm gonna invade my neighbor's basement

[grizzled pecan]

Im sorry but it doesn't 😭

Eerie guest love to cut content but not save it

[tacit breach]

I assumed you meant content after hn2 for hn2... like the mythical patch 10

[swift dagger]

Will Nicky Roth house be in hn3

[cunning yacht]

I heard patch 10 had nothing

[grizzled pecan]

Patch 10 is really just myth we will not see

[grizzled pecan]

No it has something

[grizzled pecan]

Of course. Like in HN 2

[cunning yacht]

I wanna see a hn2 version of the alphas from hn1

[grizzled pecan]

I don't understand what you mean

[cunning yacht]

Like, the alphas from hn1 but its hn2 style

[grizzled pecan]

Like with graphics and style?

[cunning yacht]

yeah

[tacit breach]

Yes I thought thats what you were taling about originally

[cunning yacht]

exactly

[grizzled pecan]

Nope i telling about alpha's. Im really sad we had nothing from them(

[tacit breach]

Yeah I understand now

[grizzled pecan]

Well it will be more bright and realistic

But it will be better if ai from HN2 will not appear there

[earnest cape]

Patch 10 never existed, literally, everything story expansion was for Patch 9 but was cut.

[grizzled pecan]

Why everything interesting in this game just cutting from it😭

[cunning yacht]

crazy how they picked the alpha 2 house for act 1 of hn1 instead of picking a different house

[earnest cape]

You mean Eerie Guest.

[cunning yacht]

mhm

[grizzled pecan]

Well alpha 2 house very similar to act 1

[earnest cape]

Most of everything cool made it into the game actually.

[grizzled pecan]

Whatever

[earnest cape]

Also anything interesting was just extra ideas they conjured into the game.

[earnest cape]

So far all we know is it’s probably just Devlog music.

[grizzled pecan]

For example?

[cunning yacht]

The music was also in hn1 alpha 1

at the end whenever the neighbor burries you

[earnest cape]

Oh really?

[cunning yacht]

yeah

[earnest cape]

A lot of thing’s, The Guest AI fully, Gameplay loop, Stealth mechanics.

[grizzled pecan]

From end of alpha 1 of HN1

[grizzled pecan]

Ai is still too stupid to concurrent player. Game is just HN2 beta with better graphic and boss fight in end

In HN1 we still had act 2 as absolutely new content. But in hn2 everything new is just a boss fight

[earnest cape]

Hmm it’s a super similar to its pre release latest version, wonder why.

[earnest cape]

That doesn’t make much sense.

Anyways gtg

[plush oyster]

i dont think dynamic pixels is still on the game

[grizzled pecan]

Eery guest studio whatever

[hushed rivet]

isn't hn3 literally rbo tho?

[frozen mauve]

hi

[grizzled pecan]

Hello

[frozen mauve]

what u guys talkin bout

[grizzled pecan]

About different themes

Why hn2 suck

Why hn2 good

[frozen mauve]

the past is the past

worry bout the future

[grizzled pecan]

What will be in hn3

[frozen mauve]

of hn3

[frozen mauve]

so far alot

[grizzled pecan]

Will we see cutted hn2 content in hn3

And other themes

[frozen mauve]

neighbour 🙂

the game isnt hn without the n

[grizzled pecan]

Well we will have neighbor

[frozen mauve]

the neighbor and the game is cheese and bread

[grizzled pecan]

We have art of him

[frozen mauve]

ik

i dont have embeds to show

[grizzled pecan]

I interested to see his model

But i more interested to see guest design

[frozen mauve]

there is no way coned and forest dweller dont look similer 😭 🙏

[grizzled pecan]

There's no way coned is just a spheres, triangles and cubes😭

Mean do you see his model?

[frozen mauve]

ye

[grizzled pecan]

It literally just placeholder

[frozen mauve]

for the guest

[grizzled pecan]

I hope no

[frozen mauve]

it is

[grizzled pecan]

I hope guest will be more important than guy that catch u in darkness

[frozen mauve]

chillaxe forest dweller aka guest in the final game he will be much more

[grizzled pecan]

Well we see guest design next time

[frozen mauve]

not in prototype 2 sadly

[grizzled pecan]

Third devlog is soon i think

[frozen mauve]

but def devlog 3

most likely it comes in may

if delay

then june

[grizzled pecan]

I think in april

[frozen mauve]

no thats way to short

i think nikita is creating the game solo so he needs a break here and there

[grizzled pecan]

Just cuz we have one devlog every month

[grizzled pecan]

Hey

[frozen mauve]

but he needs to devlop

[grizzled pecan]

He doesn't do game solo

[frozen mauve]

egs?

[grizzled pecan]

He actually get whole eerie guest studio to work on HN3

It was confirmed by cancelling patch 10 for HN2

In devlog 1.5

[dim dragon]

opa

[plush oyster]

Was

rbo was multiplayer

hn3 isn't

hn3 was at first rbo

not anymore

[cunning yacht]

rbo got scrapped cook deep fried and transformed to hello neighbor. the online developer gave him an advice not to make a multiplayer game.
did nikita said timeloop?. i wanna see hn3 in its future full game.

[untold grotto]

no

bro theres a team

😭

[stuck lynx]

HN3 has like 15-20 people on it iirc

[gentle pebble]

The EGS team is working on the game with Nikita

[severe merlin]

16 to be exact 🙂

[frosty gyro]

Oh hmm

[sturdy field]

Nice

[oblique parcel]

Do you expect the team to continue to grow overtime like it did with hn2 or are your plan to keep the team this size?

As The game still seem really ambitous to me Which is cool but that problaby also requires a lot of resources i imagine to get the game truly where you want it to be

[restive tangle]

On hn3 there will be more talk about who the guest really is?

[oblique parcel]

That Will be revealed pretty soon in season 3

Tbough hn3 guest might be different Which he very well may be as the canon is a bit confusing at this point lol

[restive tangle]

Hn3 will the antagonists be the vandals from hello guest?

They looked like them

[oblique parcel]

They Will be in hn3 but not as Main antagonists

If this game Even has true antagonists its defenitly mr Peterson and the guest that are the Main threats

[sturdy field]

Guest: I always come back

[oblique parcel]

I still am super excited to see the new guest

[sturdy field]

Me too

[oblique parcel]

I feel like hn3 guest will still go back to the chatacter’s roots back in the hn2 alpha era

I don’t Think he Will be this caped monster Thing in hn3 like he was in hn2 fg

[restive tangle]

Fr

I'm at Nintendo so I won't be able to play it right away😭🙏

[sturdy field]

Yeah, only thing I wonder is their appearance. Like Ted acts like in books or as

[oblique parcel]

Very certain hes not gonna av like in the AS as its a very different vision of the character

[restive tangle]

Have you ever done the hn1 Speedrun?

[sturdy field]

Sooo we have an old man which is eeire and tired of everything instead of genius engineer.

[restive tangle]

But have any links to the film been released?

[sturdy field]

Nope

[gentle pebble]

Nikita can we get a Timelapse of The Neighbor

[oblique parcel]

Well we don’t know if he even has one but i hope so

[gentle pebble]

This image was made in procreate

[severe merlin]

I have actually

[oblique parcel]

Ohhh

[severe merlin]

Give me a sec

[oblique parcel]

Thank you!

[gentle pebble]

👍

[oblique parcel]

Also a Question is there a reason why you decided to remove the gloves considering how iconic they are for the Neighbor(i understand if its story related you can’t say)

[severe merlin]

Here's the fun one. Me experimenting with emotions of the Neighbor (this is NOT final or anything, just an experiment)

[oblique parcel]

Cool!

[daring gyro]

is that the guest glove

[severe merlin]

There is indeed narrative reason.

[gentle pebble]

This is interesting

[oblique parcel]

I thought so my theory is that its to show hes stopped hiding stuff(just wanted to say my theory ik you can’t confirm anything)

[sturdy field]

He looks milks

[celest plank]

hey guys

[celest plank]

btw what kind of idle animations are you planning to give to the neighbor?

or did you not decide that yet

[oblique parcel]

I hope They still lean into the creepy neighbor side of his Character because that experiment emotion thing looked Genuinely creepy

[sturdy field]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-neighbor-cartoon-hello-neighbor-hello-neighbor2-secret-neighbor-theodore-peterson-gif-27254351

[celest plank]

imagine the old neighbor casually doing this

[storm crown]

Kind of...meh experiment to be honest

[sturdy field]

He is strong

[celest plank]

old neighbor

he looks like hes gonna pass out at any second

if bro crouches he's dead

[sturdy field]

Idk he is still same devilish neighbor for me

[frosty gyro]

this timelapse is sick

[celest plank]

what timelapse

WAIT OH

[frosty gyro]

#work-in-progress

[sturdy field]

Wow Nikita really gave so much time to make neighbor

Good work

[celest plank]

he's a great artist

i kinda liked the part in the vid where the neighbor had a less round chin

imo it looked cooler

[daring gyro]

he used to look like that one clay sculpt from way back 🥹

[wheat apex]

Granduristo

[sturdy field]

Very very great

[wheat apex]

Please check your discord

I sent you a video

[sturdy field]

Im more hyped hn3 than sotm

[tepid flicker]

That’s horrifying

[crystal hare]

this looks scary tbh.

[celest plank]

no he doesnt

he looks more insane and crazy

than scary

[storm crown]

He looks scary

[solid cloud]

Why did bro age so much

[storm crown]

And like nerd

[tepid flicker]

It’s sad to see that the iconic white stitching on his sweater vest was actually briefly planned but then was quickly removed.

[solid cloud]

And why did we went from a normal breaking into house game into a long legged game

[celest plank]

bro like come on

he looks mischievous

[gentle pebble]

That’s how the design of his is a “Unhomely appearance”

[simple dragon]

Terrifying

[sturdy field]

Long legs is good

[near meadow]

Dang ig the strange man in that image is the guest.

Prolly gave these gloves to the guest instead

[solid cloud]

I prefer the HN2 Art style

[celest plank]

the entire hn franchise is long thin legs

[solid cloud]

The paint thing is funny tho in hn2

[solid cloud]

I mean

[sturdy field]

I respect you

[solid cloud]

It went from a clean style to a

[celest plank]

second image looks like a gang in the streets

[solid cloud]

Like it aint halloween

Okay i get the neighbor

But the others?

[celest plank]

theyre gonna beat us up with baseball bats

[sturdy field]

Pixar to Tim Burton

[oblique parcel]

Eh i prefer the hn3 style tbh

[solid cloud]

But why the skin colour of the girl is PURPLE

Thats not humanoid

[celest plank]

signed's skin color annoys me so much 😭

[celest plank]

its cold in raven brooks

[oblique parcel]

Its just the artstyle it doesnt have to make sense

[solid cloud]

Ye

[celest plank]

no theres a reason to it

[solid cloud]

But

If its so cold

[misty linden]

Wow 😳 the face

[solid cloud]

Why isnt quentin purple?

[oblique parcel]

Different artstyle

Its not a lore thing its just how they look they’re still supposed to be humans

[celest plank]

ahh face

[solid cloud]

Those times

Its canon that Peterson ages

But that he turns out like that?

[celest plank]

what

[oblique parcel]

He was Never actually supposed to be buff or anything

At least not in the creator eyes

[misty linden]

I thought it's strange to be purple

[solid cloud]

Me too

[celest plank]

same but nwo i got used to it

[simple dragon]

Didn't nikita say there was a lore reason they are like that

[solid cloud]

I look up how to get the fishhead

[celest plank]

iirc yeah

[misty linden]

Nikita I want to see more vandal 👍

[celest plank]

there will be

[near meadow]

Is there a narrative reason to why he is hunched over? Or is it artstyle?

[wheat apex]

Still waiting for Nikita to see me

[sturdy field]

He got old

[wheat apex]

Ok

Try number 4

[sturdy field]

Damn

Hello neighbor 4 looks amazing

[wheat apex]

I made a short video for Nikita

With questions

Please watch it

[sturdy field]

That is firee

[wheat apex]

I really want him to see it

[celest plank]

i like how the background really looks like the prototype 1 map

[oblique parcel]

About the first Question where it takes place I do personally hope it is connected with reset day and gn2 yeah or at least makes sense with them

We don’t need more inconsistencies than we already have lol

[wheat apex]

Guys

[misty linden]

Hello

[celest plank]

ydah

yeah

[misty linden]

Forest scary 🤯

[wheat apex]

If Nikita online, please remind him about the video

[wheat apex]

Somehow

[wheat apex]

Eah

[celest plank]

im drawing my version of the giant guest (ill make the shadows n stuff later) so here's his arm there are supposed to be feathers

[oblique parcel]

Also i Think he Said that the year hn3 takes place in doesnt matter

Don’t quite understand that though as it kinda does matter unless its in a entire seperate continuity

[wheat apex]

Ok?

[celest plank]

i will

[wheat apex]

Thank you

[celest plank]

he probably wont answer to some of the questions tho

[wheat apex]

Because I will be not at home

[wheat apex]

And can't see when he is online, and when he isn't

[wheat apex]

But I hope that he will answer to some of them

Maybe not all but, some

[celest plank]

some are also answered i think

like the next devlog

its gonna be devlog 3

probably

[oblique parcel]

I don’t Think he would answer the first Question or the one About mayak

As he Said he doesnt answer story related Questions

[sturdy field]

Nikita is in the woods

[wheat apex]

And you know I am making second video with questions, and it's going to be bigger than the first one, because I got more questions

[oblique parcel]

You know you don’t need to make videos you can just ask him directly when hes chatting here

[wheat apex]

But perhaps perhaps we don't know

[wheat apex]

You know practice makes perfect, and I just practicing by making this videos

[crystal hare]

this video makes me feel like i'm watching a devlog or smth. Great work, i hope Nikita will notice that guy

[wheat apex]

Thank you, really I tried to make this vibe of devlog

[sturdy field]

Nikita in parallel universe

[atomic forge]

Fr

[atomic forge]

Great job btw

[wheat apex]

Thank you

[frosty summit]

AMAZING!!!

[wheat apex]

Oooo

Thanks

[sturdy field]

There is a quality content

[frosty gyro]

yaroslav fire emojied 🔥

[frosty summit]

this is the best thing ever

you should get a higher quality camera and this will become 10x better

[hardy crypt]

That's a really interesting way to ask a questions )

[celest plank]

no man its fine

this really looks like prototype 1

[frosty summit]

this looks like smth from the 90s

captured on some camcorder

[oblique parcel]

Hi Yaroslav

[frosty summit]

definitely, nothing like i've seen before

[stuck lynx]

Really neat you did a good job

[frosty summit]

@wheat apex is it ok if i steal your format so i can ask other devs some questions :)

[celest plank]

thats it we need to ask questions this way from now on

[frosty summit]

YESSS!

but not necessarily

what if some ppl are camera shy

:3

[celest plank]

like me

[frosty summit]

but

[sturdy field]

and with anxiety

[frosty summit]

a really innovative way to ask questions

well done

if nikita was here i'd think this is devlog 3

[sturdy field]

I hope Nikita is good right now, he was diagnosised with anxiety

[frosty summit]

like a few months ago

yeah

gad is a horrible thing

and can lead to someone developing ptsd as well

[crystal hare]

english please or go #russian-chat

[sturdy field]

I hope it wont

[celest plank]

i didnt know that

hopes hes ok too tho

[wheat apex]

@frosty summit what devs?

[frosty summit]

like

any other people

outside hn

[wheat apex]

Eah

[wheat apex]

Ok

[frosty summit]

ty my goat

appreciate you

[wheat apex]

Can you share the videos with me?

It's interesting for me

[frosty summit]

not planning to record yet

when i get an opportunity probably

nobody's taking qnas lol

[celest plank]

ill try to give him a scarf

[sturdy field]

Very good

[celest plank]

im gonna do the shadows at the end

[atomic forge]

Nice work

[celest plank]

ty

its kinda gonna be a mix of the hg guest and the giant one

[frosty summit]

the guest after 5 days of hunting quentin down with no trace

[celest plank]

lmao

[sturdy field]

He needs an apple to eat

[celest plank]

i think this is the best head shape for the hn3 neighbor

[novel crystal]

ooga

[errant pewter]

indeed

[wheat apex]

He looks amazing

[celest plank]

lmao 😭

[untold grotto]

yaroslav cameo 🍋

very RARE moment

[untold grotto]

according to nikita its draw right now

[sturdy field]

ok

[celest plank]

almost done

i just realized he looks tiny

[atomic forge]

imagine if they added this in nightmares

[celest plank]

poor guest bro 😭

[sturdy field]

nooo

[celest plank]

do i keep that

[sturdy field]

Cool

[haughty tide]

yes, i think you should keep that.

[thin shadow]

Bro it's amazing

[west dust]

Why did you draw a mustache, eyebrows and hair on the squash from PVZ?

[untold grotto]

he didnt actually

nikita drew

[misty linden]

NIKITA DID

[untold grotto]

yep

[west dust]

Our!

[celest plank]

nikits drew it

nikita

#work-in-progress

[west dust]

Our!

[celest plank]

what

[west dust]

Traditions.

[dapper dragon]

any news about prototype 2?

[lunar trail]

This whistle got stuck in my mind ever since Devlog 1 released

[simple dragon]

same

[celest plank]

nahh same

[opaque summit]

same

[celest plank]

the thing so far

[cunning yacht]

thing?

oh.

[opaque summit]

that looks amazing

[celest plank]

ty

[static oasis]

кар-карыч прикольно выглядит. Я так понял что это концепт арт официальный(наверное)

[cunning yacht]

В id:customize есть русский чат. просто активируйте в нем русский канал.
перевод может быть неточным(translation may not be accurate)

или, может быть, вы уже знаете об этом

[static oasis]

я недавно зашёл и уже нашёл русскоязычный чат, спасибо что хотел помочь мне

[cunning yacht]

Это хорошо. Рад, что смог помочь.

[untold grotto]

dont talk russian here

[cunning yacht]

we know

[untold grotto]

theres a #russian-chat

[untold grotto]

then just move on there

[cunning yacht]

i told him 🙂

[static oasis]

there is no activity in the Russian-language chat, so I have to communicate here(

[untold grotto]

talk English here then

[static oasis]

ўлун

okey*

[cunning yacht]

Bro

Nvm

[static oasis]

what

I dont understand

[fast mason]

i find it weird how they removed the "doesnt represent full game

maybe it does a little more?

[restive oxide]

we haven't seen the main menu yet so it might say it there

or they just forgot

[fast mason]

it could also be the same menu and yeah maybe

[static oasis]

maybe this means that the final game will be similar to the prototype

[fast mason]

probably not too much

[restive oxide]

i wouldn't say similar

[fast mason]

im guessing they forgot

the full games are never similar to a build this early

[restive oxide]

considering we only have 4 out of 15 characters in the game so far

[static oasis]

well, what if

[fast mason]

you can literally look at every other game in the franchise the prototypes are nothing like the final game

this is the second build so no way

[restive oxide]

Its most likely just in the main menu this time for aesthetic purposes

so you dont have a massive text spot at the top of the screen

[static oasis]

suddenly they have already decided that they will not change the game much

[untold grotto]

it probably will

[cunning yacht]

make sense

[untold grotto]

its a early version of prototype 2

i d say

[fast mason]

that wouldnt be smart at all they got to add and revamp

[restive oxide]

Definitely

[fast mason]

if we get to beta im guessing that will be way closer even late alphas

[untold grotto]

nikita said

alphas will be part of full game

[restive oxide]

especially because Nikita is hoping for like 15 characters and the map is way too small for that

[fast mason]

what

[fast mason]

(atleast actually)

[restive oxide]

Not literally, just will be turned into the full game over time

[restive oxide]

ye

[fast mason]

we will also get post updates which will probably add more

[static oasis]

ehh, it is very hard to speak englisg

[restive oxide]

hopefully

[untold grotto]

it will be a early version of full game, instead a different game

[restive oxide]

I hope this game gets worked on for a long time even after full release

[fast mason]

true i only know this and it still sucks

[restive oxide]

yeah

[untold grotto]

like you can see with hn2 alpha 1 and hn2fg

[restive oxide]

yeah

I hope driving actually stays this time since Nikita is back

[untold grotto]

mmmm the guest

[old comet]

my honest reaction, btw.

[static oasis]

where is guest

[restive oxide]

No way a 12ft dude is gonna be RUNNING around the forest. I feel like he will just slowly wander the forest

[restive oxide]

doorway

[fast mason]

it may be the guest

may not be

[static oasis]

I think it is not guest

[restive oxide]

It's like 98% the guest

[static oasis]

hm

[celest plank]

this time we are the guests

[fast mason]

mr isaac that went missing

[restive oxide]

his rig has beak bones in the exact position ppl thought

with his beak facing up

[static oasis]

ogo

[peak solar]

I personally think the Forest Dweller and The Guest are two entirely separate things

[fast mason]

me too

[peak solar]

one's a guy who heard about the myth and is scaring people off

and the other is the real thing

[restive oxide]

And the forest dweller who has guest behavior, has a placeholder coned model rn, his head is pointed up. soooo

[muted karma]

nikita said alpha is going to be represent game i think (im not sure)

[untold grotto]

why would they do a another birdman

[restive oxide]

guest = forest dweller = tall dude

[fast mason]

yeah this is still in closed protos though

[static oasis]

I agree with you, but maybe they are somehow connected

[peak solar]

Some stuff in the Prototype is staying, but it's gonna be interpreted differently

[fast mason]

i think it will be more of something in alphas later

[restive oxide]

guys forest dweller is guest obviously

[oblique parcel]

I assume both Will work kinda the same though

[restive oxide]

he has guest anim, guest behavior, guest filenames

[untold grotto]

and the copy of actual guest ai

[restive oxide]

yeah

that too

[untold grotto]

its why it named fakeguest in BP file

[celest plank]

i think theyre just tricking us

they wouldnt give it away that easily

[untold grotto]

why would thry

[restive oxide]

really bru

why would we have another bird dude

[untold grotto]

they just literally forgot in files

[restive oxide]

I doubt they purposely left tall dude rig in

[muted karma]

they forgot guests rig in the files too

[untold grotto]

tall dude rig is the guest rig

[muted karma]

ik

[static oasis]

why is there no translation function in discord, it would be convenient👍

[untold grotto]

there is actually

[restive oxide]

He has a beak. and its facing up like ppl thought his beak was in one of the steam screenshot. and idk any other character with a beak, and don't say forest protector cuz no way in hell is one of them 12ft tall

[celest plank]

i wonder how bro will chase us in the houses

[restive oxide]

he won't

[untold grotto]

bro wont actually

[restive oxide]

he stay in forest

[untold grotto]

hes on dark

[restive oxide]

prolly

[untold grotto]

not just forest

[celest plank]

then why is he in a house

in the picture

[untold grotto]

Forest dweller will be an actual character just as any other on the map. In the future we plan for it to actually roam in dark areas in real-time and snatch people. Since currently it's not a priority, we used this placeholder thingy, that catch characters if they stay in the dark for too long.

[restive oxide]

its dark in there

[untold grotto]

basically the guests

[fast mason]

incorrect

[untold grotto]

description

[restive oxide]

i meant the dark

[fast mason]

nikita said he will wonder like a actual ai only in the dark

[celest plank]

guys

the guest just grew

[fast mason]

so he can enter homes

[fast mason]

yeah

[celest plank]

itsbeen like 20 years since the events of hn1

[untold grotto]

year is not important for hn3

as nikita said

[fast mason]

guest crawl on ceiling

[celest plank]

that would be creepy

[restive oxide]

I feel like he will just slowly wander dark areas

[restive oxide]

i dont imagine a 12ft tall dude would be sprinting around

[celest plank]

i mean hes probably fast enough to get us

while walking

[restive oxide]

ye

creepy

just slowly striding towards you

but you cant outrun him

[celest plank]

imagine u panicking and running and he is just there following you not even running

[atomic forge]

i WANT see that T H I N G in game

[untold grotto]

model is not important at all

its quickly made placeholder

since they dont have character modelers

the concept art is the important

[restive oxide]

i feel like, they are gonna make characters that are slower like neib smarter so that, even tho can't outrun you, they can still catch you

[frosty gyro]

We will see him

[restive oxide]

cuz no way neib is sprinting around at age 70 or whatever

then again neib is like 6' 5"

[hollow coral]

because he's the neib

[restive oxide]

fair

dude can just jump from top of act 3 house and walk it off

[hollow coral]

real lol

[hollow coral]

Bro had the money to build that whole house with a windmill and never get questioned by police

[celest plank]

is he still gonna be called the guest

[restive oxide]

well yeah

why change his name

[celest plank]

it was a dream

[restive oxide]

its still the same character

not to mention neib has a super vacuum

[hollow coral]

well yeah

[celest plank]

or if u taking abt act 2 (i dont remember which one had a windmill) it was nickys imaginatoin

[restive oxide]

act 2 was real

[untold grotto]

no

[celest plank]

how

[untold grotto]

its a self therapy

act 2 is nicky's misperspective

[celest plank]

well yeah

[restive oxide]

i mean, the AS kinda changed that

[untold grotto]

act 3/4 self therapy
act 1/2 events from nicky's perspective

[untold grotto]

AS is trinity's perspective

New neighbor's perspective

[restive oxide]

it also made act 3 house real so..

act 2 is still real tho

[atomic forge]

i fear no man. but that THING... it scare me

[restive oxide]

i hope he's like alpha 1.5 guest

[untold grotto]

the guest

[restive oxide]

just kinda

stalks you

[atomic forge]

realy?

[restive oxide]

as far as we know yes

[untold grotto]

98%

[atomic forge]

so theres 2% that is not the guest

[untold grotto]

yep

[atomic forge]

ok.

[celest plank]

hes gonna have a different personality

i think

[restive oxide]

unless they pulled another character with a beak out of nowhere

its the guest

[celest plank]

like

that giant ahh thing

[restive oxide]

i think stalking the player is the behavior of new guest

[celest plank]

the tiny guest was dragging you and this one is probably gonna grab you or something

[restive oxide]

carry you and then drop kick you out of wherever he was staying

[atomic forge]

for this time in the bag

[restive oxide]

from what we can tell this one don't have bag

while its very unlikely

i hope mith gets a role in hn3

at least an easter egg like other games

[untold grotto]

will not fit with artstyle

[restive oxide]

whats wrong with an easter egg

[untold grotto]

also

theres literally no need for

mith

[restive oxide]

and they could easily redesign him

he's a peak character

[simple dragon]

they could just redesign him if that was the case

but yeah it wouldnt make sense unless he is just repurposed fully

[restive oxide]

All I'm asking for is a little easter egg

[untold grotto]

firstly

hire a character modeler

[restive oxide]

or pull up blender and change skin color a little, then slightly alter clothing and hat

thats about it

imma do that later

[untold grotto]

no need for

mith

[restive oxide]

still

imma do it

just cuz

i need him

he deserves better

;-;

[simple dragon]

honestly i wouldnt be surprised if he actually was repurposed just like the vandals for hn3

[restive oxide]

true

i didn't think about the vandals

Image they brought back the og vandal as an NPC

that would be awesome

wait, what if, since we are a new character, someone with no ties to raven brooks, we play as a vandal?

we already know we are a thief, i mean cmon, its hello neighbor, even if the character isnt one by lore they will be by gameplay

[restive oxide]

I've theorized that he's the guest

considering how similar their body shapes are and proportions

but now that the guest (as far as we know) is 12ft tall that theory doesn't really work

unless mith is a mutant

[celest plank]

imagine if peterson got a low taper fade

[restive oxide]

NO

[muted karma]

guys how someone can go that long

guest is a short character

[atomic forge]

Leave me alone...LOW TAPER FADE AHHHH! Akira!MASSIVE AHHHHHHHH!

[earnest cape]

I thought it would be cool to see the model get refined for HN3 and become his own character.

[celest plank]

he got infected guys

[restive oxide]

Imma make my own hn3 mith later

just to see it

[celest plank]

i want mith

where is my boy mith bro

[oblique parcel]

Its litteraly signed

[muted karma]

i hope we can see guest in devlog 4

[earnest cape]

True.

[oblique parcel]

Nikita Said its sorta the vandal from hg brought back in a way

His torso is nearly identical

[restive oxide]

whose talking about vandal

we were talking about mith
