[undone oriole]

That would be cool 😎

[high brook]

what if

quentin

BUT

jacob body

[restive oxide]

....

i did that

also

uhh

i cant do the hn3 mod

cuz uh

idk how to make ue5 mods

[high brook]

isnt there tutorials for that?

[restive oxide]

yeah but i broke smth sooo

anyway

im replacing gerda with iris rn

[blazing cloud]

ok my lil dog🤍

[solid cloud]

" Must have been the wind... "

[earnest cape]

What’s up chat.

[atomic forge]

WAZZAAAA

[river cave]

WAZAAAAAAAA

[opaque summit]

i wish there was a sliding mod for hn3

[celest plank]

guest needs a low taper fade guys

[wild kindle]

I hope there is more police in hello neighbor 3 than in hello neighbor 2. What I mean is, in hello neighbor 2 you can break into someone's house and police does nothing about it, so I think it would be cool for it to be at least one character who hides and calls police when you break into their house.

[untold grotto]

theres plans for calling "friends" for help

like jacob calls iris if you go his house

cuz iris braver person than jacob

[wild kindle]

Yeah, but actual police should do something in Raven Brooks

[untold grotto]

town is abandoned

[wild kindle]

Half-abandoned

We saw police doing something in Raven Brooks in hello neighbor 2 so why not in hello neighbor 3? Just expand it a little

[untold grotto]

well, the purpose of the police in hn2 was not to provide security or anything like that

hes also a cultist

[muted karma]

is there anything new about hn3? im not looking this server for a week

[untold grotto]

no

[cunning yacht]

when 3 coming out???

or prototype 2?

[nimble walrus]

Idk when Prototype 2 is going to come out, but since we haven't gotten any news lately, I think that Prototype 2 is being worked on extra hard and it maybe will be in May or June probably idk tbh.

[untold grotto]

maybe they just dont want tease

remember prototype 2 is in progress since december

[celest plank]

is the map actually gonna look like a town

rather than a village

in prototype 2

[tender stump]

garageband, but the new hn3 music is being made in ableton

[compact fog]

Ngl, i think prototype 2 should not have as many slopes or higher places. And more houses pls.

[untold grotto]

there wont be decorative houses and theres 3 npc

well actually 4 but nvm

more houses wouldnt makes sense

[compact fog]

I mean aren't they adding the neighbor too? So they might add more.

But idk we will just have to see

[frosty gyro]

Not in proto 2 that's for sure

[untold grotto]

they dont have any character modeler

also more character means more ai

[compact fog]

Which would mean a bigger map to explore

Which is is w

[untold grotto]

there will be more characters and buildings

but not now

[high brook]

will hn3 have a functioning weather system?

like rain and stuff

[blissful river]

It already does?

lol

[brisk ocean]

I'm the only one who's really worried about whether the second prototype will be as time-limited as the first one?

[untold grotto]

it will be same direction

so yep

its time limited

[celest plank]

iirc the final game will be time limited too

but instead theyre gonna give u hours to complete the game

[untold grotto]

but you can just use your old save file

even start a new game

[high brook]

evil

[celest plank]

one thing i dont get about hn3 is like

theres this MASSIVE storm coming

and everyone there is just chill

[dawn sail]

what wacom tablet does nikita use for his art (if he uses one)

[restive oxide]

He uses the Wacom one

Hehehehahah

[frozen mauve]

bruh

[mystic topaz]

I actually used that one time it was pretty smooth

for a project on something

[frigid ruin]

is the ai in hn2 beta better than the fg?

[sturdy field]

same

[high brook]

the only difference is the beta ai is slightly slower

takes a little longer to respond to stuff

also gets stuck often

[dawn sail]

yeah they always stop on corners

[cunning yacht]

When will the next prototype be?

[dire night]

In My Opinon

Yesnt

Otto Is Very Good

In beta

[mighty orchid]

In the beta they stop mid chase

[high brook]

u know why i think the tall guy is the guest? bc he wears GLOVES

the only person wearing gloves is usually the neighbor OR the GUEST

[jade night]

🥀

[high brook]

i actually forgot abt him

[restive oxide]

And because he literally is the guest

[cunning yacht]

I Have all ways thought this

[cunning yacht]

if you want the og idea for the ai and the rough version of alpha 2 get this -https://gamejolt.com/games/HN2TMKFull/834929

[stuck lynx]

No

[wild kindle]

Yeah, weren't they supposed to showcase the AI in prototype 2?

[wild kindle]

Based on concept art: Theodore(the neighbor will no longer be wearing gloves

[limpid pewter]

Hell no

The beta ai sucked

[simple venture]

do yall think HN3 is going to have anything to do with the original story?

[sonic birch]

Well yeah

Every media is built off of the original story in some way

[oblique parcel]

Obviously

Its not a reboot its just a different style to it

[restive oxide]

Since Nikitas back, yes

[untold grotto]

yep but not more ai

[celest plank]

i doubt it

our character is new to the town

and we just gotta get out of raven brooks

i dont think hn3 will have anything to do with the original story

[untold grotto]

it probably will connect nikitas story (hn1, h&s)

for other ones im not sure

[lunar trail]

what is there to connect with hn1 or hnhs dude

at most maybe the burned house but HN1's story dont need any connection. and HNHS is just Mr. Peterson's backstory exposition so like it connects to everything that has Theodore

HN3 is about the town so it will connect to things about the town rather than specific games

[queen sapphire]

Where is Niikita?

[lunar trail]

he's not online currently

[celest plank]

im thinking

why even is the hn3 lore important to the hn lore

like it feels like some side quest

[urban steppe]

Well it might finally explain what actually happened with the neighbor after HN1 (because HN2 absolutely did not) and tell more about the guest and town history

Because we still barely know anything about the guest

[celest plank]

if so then i want the neighbors house to be like this

[urban steppe]

I assume it will be if it appears

[celest plank]

because

i think hn3 takes place after hn1 ends

or somewhere there

[lunar trail]

it shows what became of Raven Brooks after the big storm

[celest plank]

since nicky is now grown up

[lunar trail]

it is quite important

[urban steppe]

I hope Prototype 2 will feature some background music
Prototype 1 was atmospheric but felt empty without any music

[celest plank]

i just wonder why are the npcs so chill when there's a big storm coming

[urban steppe]

Because they don't know there's a big storm coming

[celest plank]

its gonna be good if the devs make the npcs realize whats happening as the storm worsens so they start doing something

[urban steppe]

The town gets storms on the regular they wouldn't know it's a huge storm that would wipe the entire town until it already starts happening

[lunar trail]

Yea

[urban steppe]

• It's a prototype, their behavior will probably change during the storm in the final game

[celest plank]

im tlking about the final game yeah

[celest plank]

'

[oblique parcel]

Well AS Will apperantly show that i guess

[urban steppe]

I do not want to see that

[oblique parcel]

What Alex Said

[lunar trail]

You dont need to bring AS everytime you see Guest tbh

[urban steppe]

He didn't even answer the question properly

So it's very possible the guest might as well be completely different in the AS than originally intended

(which is pretty obvious as well)

[celest plank]

why get hello engineer and secret neighbor into the hn lore like 😭😭

[lunar trail]

because why wouldnt they?

[oblique parcel]

Well problaby at least a tiny bit he Said it wont match up with everything

When i asked

So we Will see

[celest plank]

and also THEODORE NEVER had a brother

[lunar trail]

I'd say that's not the case but i dont want to start an another different media different canons conversation

so eh

So like HN3 discussion my friends

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1342376523528798219/1342376976576544859/1000004163.gif

[urban steppe]

I want to see how Nikita envisioned him, without any outside interaction, so the AS is irrelevant to me.

[celest plank]

exactlyy

[lunar trail]

Nikita's original envision won't be what we see in HN3 probably

[urban steppe]

Well, he's writing it, so it's the closest we could possibly get.

[celest plank]

i just want the nikita's hello neighbor lore

[urban steppe]

Considering how different even Peterson is in the AS compared to Nikita's vision I wouldn't trust the Guest to be close either, so I'll still take something Nikita made over the AS.

[lunar trail]

He still needs to work with what exists since he does say every media is canon

he can't make the Guest a completely different character

[urban steppe]

Even if it's all meant to be canon the vision will change, especially when the writers are different between media.

[cunning yacht]

whos the raven guy

[oblique parcel]

Well we don’t know

[lunar trail]

vision can change, I can understand if it's a change like AS and Games Peterson

AS Peterson shows his evil side while the games show his deeper side. But ultimately theyre the same character

[urban steppe]

And sometimes different writers can completely misunderstand the original vision and transform it into something different.

[oblique parcel]

I Do Think guest in hn3 Will defenitly feel different to how he feels in AS/hn2

his lore though? No clue we Will just have to wait and see ig

[lunar trail]

That's why writers should work together

[cunning yacht]

will peterson be in hn3

[urban steppe]

Yes

[lunar trail]

I mean didn't Nikita work with the books when they were written

[oblique parcel]

Yes

He Said so

[lunar trail]

Reset Day and GN2 came out during a time where he was still very involved

[urban steppe]

With the books yes, with the AS he definitely had much less impact on it.

[celest plank]

nikita knows hn the best

[urban steppe]

But still no matter if he worked closely with the book authors or not some things will inevitably be different to the original vision, either to work with the presented story better or just because of a simple misunderstanding.

[lunar trail]

and GN2 Guest is very much close to HNVR and AS too (from very little we saw of him (aka crow ))

[cunning yacht]

guys wheres the channel for the tv show

[celest plank]

whats gn

[lunar trail]

you can talk about it in #hello-neighbor it doesnt have a separate channel

[lunar trail]

graphic novel

[celest plank]

oh

[urban steppe]

GN2 Guest and HNVR guest work together well, and it makes sense since they started working on HNVR around the time Nikita was still in charge of HN2

[lunar trail]

I wonder what's wrong with Reset Day then

Because like, his portrayal there is more of an actual crow man hybrid creature

and more leaned into supernatural aspect

with the whole town in a loop stuff

[lunar trail]

but the problem is that with the interview we now know HN2 Alpha's intention of Guest

and it was the representation of the Storm

[urban steppe]

He still had to have some sort of full vision of the guest by then

To work with the story he wrote so far for the actual full game

[lunar trail]

Then while working on the alphas he made a different vision while also having a vision for the full game?

[urban steppe]

HN2 beta follows that story to some extent, with the idea of the guest being something lurking in the dark, which is a concept that is now back in HN3

[urban steppe]

Yes, and there are even some quest remnants in the HN2 Alpha 1 files, which are close to the HN2 beta intro, like the barn scene was in the game back then

[lunar trail]

Then isnt that misleading for people that theorize about HN2 Alpha's when they came out

[urban steppe]

🤷‍♀️
The alphas tell a different story, it just has a symbolic meaning, it's about the children lost in the storm + wasn't it all Quentin making shit up

[oblique parcel]

Yeah guest being a representation of the storm was likely just for 1.5 to showcase the storm killing teds friend’s

[lunar trail]

because what i understand from what you're saying is that the HN2 Alpha Guest was not what intended for the Guest for the fullgame even at the time Alpha's released

[urban steppe]

Well there would probably be 2 different version of him, since Quentin could either report the truth or chase false news in Nikita's version of the game

[lunar trail]

Why though

[urban steppe]

That's something you'd have to ask him I don't know 🤷‍♀️

[lunar trail]

I just think this all shows that they really had no idea what to do with Guest back then

Reset Day, GN2, HN2 Alpha's and all

[oblique parcel]

Yeah

[urban steppe]

I'm sure they had some common idea, but since HN2 never came out as it was supposed to we don't know what it could be

[oblique parcel]

Hopefully They actually know what they’re doing with him in hn3 at least

[lunar trail]

which is funny because the books are still meant to be canon in some way

[oblique parcel]

Yep

[oblique parcel]

Old guest sumarized i guess

Guest is a huge bird man that smell like smoke

He can posses

Hes also not supernatrural

Hes also not looking like a actual bird man and doesnt smell like smoke

[keen hemlock]

Guestyy core

[urban steppe]

If I had to assume my best presumption would be that the guest in general was some sort of symbol, just like the thing, maybe a symbol of loss or something of that sort

Either way I don't really care much for canon or not, I just want to know Nikita's interpretation

[oblique parcel]

I do agree with that

Hopefully hn3 guest turns out well

[cunning yacht]

does somebody know who the monster is for hn3

[lunar trail]

The Storm

like he said in the interview about HN2A1.5

Which does kinda work with what we see with canon media

In GN2 he is trying to make Theodore create the storm using Mayak

[urban steppe]

The storm yes, but it can't be just the storm, because in the books and HNVR it's not just a storm

[lunar trail]

The Forest Protectors worship him and FP's are the reason of the RB's weird storms

[urban steppe]

I would imagine it more as loss or destruction

something like that

[lunar trail]

I can see loss with his connection to Aaron

but destruction meh

[oblique parcel]

It kinda lines up with hn3 which is funny as the guest statue is holding a lighting rod

[lunar trail]

godstatue

[urban steppe]

which is clearly the guest so

unless they change it

[oblique parcel]

Why change peak

I looove guest statue

[lunar trail]

godstatue makes me think FP's will appear or at least have a reference in HN3

[urban steppe]

But it would make sense that it's sort of a symbolic thing, like the guest itself is "the storm", loss, and everyone just tells a fairy tell of the guest coming and taking things away

[lunar trail]

I think his symbolism can work, but he should still be a physical being

[cunning yacht]

is hello neighbor vr cannon

[oblique parcel]

Yes(a bit confused how with guest and everything but it is)

[lunar trail]

it would be lame to have another "just in the head of the protoganist" character like The Thing

[oblique parcel]

Oh yeah true

[lunar trail]

The Thing is cool in HN1, dont get me wrong. But Guest being like that would just feel like he's just a copy of the Thing

[urban steppe]

I know it would be kind of lame, but the physical guest itself might as well be someone taking advantage of those legends for their own desires, so they dress up as a raven doing mischievous things, and people believe it's the raven from the legends
So the guest could be both symbolic and physical

[lunar trail]

I mean that would just be Forest Protectors

[urban steppe]

kind of but not really

[cunning yacht]

who do we play as in hnvr

[urban steppe]

idk why in the AS they're all dressed up as the guest when they weren't before

[lunar trail]

The Kids?

[lunar trail]

I dont mean just AS

They were using a the FP legend in the books to their advantage

[urban steppe]

yeah but the forest protectors in general just worship the guest, not necessarily dress up as him

and yeah they take advantage of the legend

[lunar trail]

it's still very similiar to what you said Guest could be

[urban steppe]

I mean in HG the guest was just kind of meant to be peterson in disguise so who knows

[lunar trail]

HG is a whole another story

[urban steppe]

it is but it was going to be the story at one point

[lunar trail]

HG probably has no connections to other media that we know of, story wise

[oblique parcel]

I Think guest being a person could work ig but they woold really need to make it feel satisfying for it to work

[cunning yacht]

the guest is the teachers bro

[oblique parcel]

Which i don’t feel about the current thought of it

[lunar trail]

because it's story was VERY different with mith searching for Mayak, Theodore as Guest in a suit hiding in the park with Aaron and all

[urban steppe]

Yeah, I don't just want the guest to be some random dude in disguise, but if they give them the right motive it could work, because I also don't want the guest to just be a symbol either. It's quite complicated.

[oblique parcel]

Adam saying this quite frankly scares the shit out of me lol

As he could be an major existing character

[lunar trail]

I still think they should at least give Guest some kind of supernaturality because like, the most consistent thing about Guest across media is that he can turn into a crow

[urban steppe]

I think seeing it as both a symbol and a person could work well, if they execute it that way.

[lunar trail]

happens in GN2, happens in HNVR, Very possible that it also happens in AS

[cunning yacht]

who is this guy

[lunar trail]

That's Nicky

the player character of HN1

[urban steppe]

I feel like this "supernatural" was lost in translation and Nikita meant something else, like he does have some sort of powers but not in a specific way we think.

[oblique parcel]

I do wanna continue the conversation but i feel like we Will be sniped if we continue discussing it here by mods or something

But i also know the convo Will just die if we change chat ughh

[lunar trail]

Probably

[lunar trail]

I mean it's not like there's much to discuss anything else

[urban steppe]

Or maybe by the rules of the HN world he uses some super advanced technology to turn himself into a raven lol

I mean there's weather manipulation technology in HN, so why not that

[lunar trail]

I mean Luck Manipulation that affects the weather is a real thing in the world of HN so yea

it's not like one to one with real world

[urban steppe]

I just hope HN3 becomes the game to live up to it's potential

Because the potential is bigger than ever

[solemn wasp]

Can someone tell me when is hello neigbor 3 release date?

[urban steppe]

No because no one knows

[lunar trail]

It doesnt exist yet

[urban steppe]

The game is in prototype stage

[solemn wasp]

Oh

Ok

[lunar trail]

They will say the release date when its close to completion

[urban steppe]

It's not anytime soon

[solemn wasp]

Ok

[lunar trail]

yea

[solemn wasp]

Thx

[oblique parcel]

As long as They don’t get any ideas to completely change direction midway i Think were kinda fine

[cunning yacht]

i just want the show

Is there an eta

[urban steppe]

I'm glad that Nikita is very clearly reusing ideas he had for HN2 because he wishes they ended up in that game in the first place

[oblique parcel]

Yeah a lot of hn3 is clearly taking influence from old hn2 era purposefully or not

[urban steppe]

And they're good ideas

[oblique parcel]

Yeah

[urban steppe]

The best way I can describe HN2 is all the best ideas with all the worst execution

[cunning yacht]

what does the first screenshot even mean like a character we havent seen or smth?

[gentle pebble]

Happy Birthday Guestyyy

[oblique parcel]

Thanks

[severe merlin]

Thank you for the awesome and atmospheric video! Here are the answers!
1 - Can’t say. It’s a story related thing and as I said before, I don’t reveal story.
2 - Covered is fast on her rollerblades, that’s all I can say for now.
3 - Technically you should be able to as all AIs powered by the same technology.
4 - Can’t say as it’s a story related.
5 - Next devlog will be “3”.
Take care!

[oblique parcel]

Hi Nikita👋

[severe merlin]

Hi!

[oblique parcel]

Oh and now that your here Just wanna ask Is devlog 3 in the makings already?

Or has it yet started to be made

[severe merlin]

I feel like between each devlog people constantly asking if it’s ready.
Currently it’s at the stage of a script 🙂

[sonic birch]

Do you think we can get the music from this trailer eventually? https://youtu.be/X99MKk0a8XU?si=9x9ocKoDghDUdPsa

[urban steppe]

there is a version of the trailer with only music iirc

[sonic birch]

Oh?

[oblique parcel]

Oh yeah understandeble Hopefully prototype development is going well

[urban steppe]

at least was, I believe the steam trailer had only music and no sound effects

but that's gone now

[sonic birch]

Damn, does anyone have an archive?

[severe merlin]

Here it is 🙂

[sonic birch]

Thank you!

[lunar trail]

Thats awesome

[urban steppe]

Thank you

[cunning yacht]

Nikita when will season 3 come out

[urban steppe]

He doesn't know that

[tender stump]

hows prototype 2 development so far going? any major progress since the last time you guys teased us?

[severe merlin]

Wait does track works? I think it wasn’t uploaded

[tender stump]

it works

[urban steppe]

It works

[sonic birch]

Yes

[severe merlin]

Ok, nice. It doesn’t for me for some reason

[urban steppe]

Nikita if I might ask will Prototype 2 feature any music yet? Or is that not implemented yet? I would love to hear what the music for HN3 is going to sound like.

[sonic birch]

Neither for me, I think it’s a discord mobile issue

[tender stump]

playing sounds on discord mobile has always been super strange

[severe merlin]

There is some music, yes 🙂

[urban steppe]

Ooh nice

Can't wait to hear it

[sonic birch]

My guess is that it’s the stereo, like in prototype 1

[urban steppe]

That wasn't made for HN3 though

It was music from RBO

[sonic birch]

No

I mean the way it’s played

[urban steppe]

I mean could be, but I hope for some atmospheric music as well

[sonic birch]

Hope so

[urban steppe]

Both Nikita and Siarhei are talented composers so I really wanna know what they came up with for HN3.
I know Nikita sent some inspiration but I want to know how the actual music from the game will sound like, for me it's always one of the best parts of the games.

[sonic birch]

RBO sketches were awesome

I’m excited for hn3 music

🔥

[sonic birch]

The last few notes are the hello guest synth ❤️ 🔥

Dream voice

[untold grotto]

well will we get a any footage about prototype 0?

[gentle pebble]

Nikita has prototype 3 started development or prototype 2 is still going on

[celest plank]

nicky peterson 🙏

[dawn sail]

do you still have the files for prototype 0? dont want another hn2 alpha 2 situation where it got lost

[modest canopy]

I don't know if the question has been asked here, how big will the world be? Or maybe it will be divided?

why... oh, I accidentally

[celest plank]

its so amazing that we'll be able to be friends with the neighbor instead of him just chasing us down whether we did something or not

hn3 will be so great

[celest plank]

it wont be very big but you'll be able to explore every house

[daring forge]

It depends on how much characters there will be

[urban steppe]

Nikita said it will be as big as many NPCs and Houses they can make, if they won't be able to fit many NPCs in then it will be smaller, if they can get more going it will be bigger.

[celest plank]

no it doesnt

the town can have as much houses as it needs

its abandoned after all so it would make sense for there to be abandoned houses

too

[urban steppe]

He said there won't be any decorative buildings to inflate the map, so unless abandoned houses will serve some sort of purpose then there probably won't be anything like that

• Even if there is then they probably won't just start spamming the map with houses with like one item just to make it bigger

[celest plank]

im not talking about decorative buildings tho

since items have now durability when they break you just can get into an abandoned house and grab something

which makes them useful

ig

it is a town after all that seemed to have a lot of people once

so i doubt itll have like 10 houses

[severe merlin]

It’s overlapping. As P2 works slowly comes to an end work at P3 already begun.

[gentle pebble]

Okay

[oblique parcel]

Hmm wonder if prototype 3 will have more ais🤔 than just the 3

[snow folio]

hi

[severe merlin]

Definitely yes

[urban steppe]

AI Fight 🔥

[foggy plaza]

Have we seen any photos of p3?

[pastel basin]

no

its beginning

[foggy plaza]

Ah

So even that clock tower is gonna be in p2? Or was that just some location test

[urban steppe]

Each prototype is just an iteration of the previous, so it would probably look similar to Prototype 2 at first

[severe merlin]

Which clock tower?

[urban steppe]

Clock tower?

[foggy plaza]

Lemme pull it up

[urban steppe]

If you mean this, this is from a test map

[foggy plaza]

Aw

Ye

[celest plank]

that second image looks really cool

[urban steppe]

Also I think this is some sort of town hall

[gentle pebble]

It’s a church

[celest plank]

same

[pastel basin]

what kind of work is being done at the moment for it?

[foggy plaza]

Honestly reminds me of a cod map

[oblique parcel]

Call of neighbor 3

[urban steppe]

It was never confirmed what it was

It also doesn't look much like a church if you ask me

[foggy plaza]

C.all O.f D.elroy

[celest plank]

i wonder if there's a concept art for the guest

[untold grotto]

there is

[celest plank]

what

rly?

[severe merlin]

No, this specific map is a test map. It was created to test level design.

[untold grotto]

bro

[urban steppe]

I really like the architecture style in the game, it feels like a nice combination of western and eastern style architecture.

[oblique parcel]

Yes

I think unless I misremember

[severe merlin]

A lot of stuff in progress, we optimize and improve code architecture after P2, rework artistic approach to a level design and map (reworking and improving the map) and designing improved and significantly expanded AI’s goals and stories so we could test butterfly effect and figure out how to approach design for such systems.

[pastel basin]

mm

[celest plank]

is the guest gonna look anything like the guest we know

[untold grotto]

bro

[pastel basin]

idk is he

[untold grotto]

he wont reveal guest design yet

[celest plank]

what 🙏

[urban steppe]

Nikita said he will reveal his design in upcoming devlogs.

[celest plank]

i didnt even ask that

[untold grotto]

☝🏻

[untold grotto]

same question with different words basically

[urban steppe]

You asked how he is going to look like, he would not be able to tell you without revealing the design

[untold grotto]

he will get a unhomely appearance like the neighbor

[celest plank]

i just expected a yes or no 🙏

[untold grotto]

he wont answer you

[foggy plaza]

Are the prototypes gonna keep the forest dweller until yall get into a different state of the game, or can we expect something new from that in the next few prototypes

[urban steppe]

Prototype 2 will still have it

That was already confirmed

[foggy plaza]

oh aight

[gentle pebble]

The forest dweller is the guest

[urban steppe]

It's really interesting how the NPCs can affect each other
Like, the NPCs can actually be caught by the forest dweller, not just the player, so they can practically just be killed in Prototype 1.

[untold grotto]

in Prototype 2, will the characters actually touch the item or will it be like in the first Prototype?

[wheat apex]

Huge thanks, for your answers Nikita

And can i ask you some questions now?

[untold grotto]

you can ask everytime

If it's something he can reply to and if he sees your message he probably will reply

[wheat apex]

Ok

So

Will there be any other characters in the game besides the ones we've already seen?

And

Yes, the question is posed quite strangely, but how many percent did the fandom guess what the Guest looks like?

[wheat apex]

That's my art

[thin shadow]

amazing

[wheat apex]

Thanks

[untold grotto]

nikita wants 15-20 npcs

so probably

[wheat apex]

I think he won't bo that but

[wheat apex]

If so, tell me the name of at least one, just the name.

[earnest cape]

That’s good to know.

Also if work in P3 has already started than P2 release should be sometime soonish.

[oblique parcel]

No since devlog 3 isn’t done which it will probably release alongside

[earnest cape]

Is Devlog 3 supposed to come out with P2?

[oblique parcel]

Nikita said Probably

[earnest cape]

Ah.

[cunning yacht]

guys Maya=Beatrix and here's why

1. hair color

2. woman

3. reasons

[molten egret]

Am I cooked?

[molten egret]

Wow

[molten egret]

Никита, ты в магните Референс брал?

[restive oxide]

I must combine them into one character now

[molten egret]

It should be cool

[severe merlin]

Of course 🙂

[severe merlin]

Can’t comment on any sort of fan theories about story or characters, sorry.

[sage beacon]

Buy it

[untold grotto]

since prototype 2 is more focused on sneaking into NPC houses, will the catch animations be dragging or like prototype 1?

[molten egret]

Later

[glad narwhal]

Hello, i have a quick question ( not story related, but could explain characters in the future ) about the npcs and there emotions and different actions they do. In the full release or just in a later build, Will there be like plans of like certain characters are at a certain anger level. Like for exapmple, if you make the npc at a low anger depending on who it is, will they like grab yiu by the arm and send you out, and if you like escape them they will drag you out by the leg. And if you escape that or do something even worse that will maie that npc really angry, will they like knock you out and you wake up like outside the house or at a random location outside. Or will they like kidnap you and put you in a room and youll have to escape. And will there be like traps in rooms like that when you get caught that it will end your adventure?

[restive oxide]

oooh, like maybe ted, instead of just sending you out, could lock you in a room or smth

[glad narwhal]

yeah maybe like that

except not exactly ted but maybe another character.

since we dont know his role yet.

[mystic topaz]

that'd be a cool feature I'm all in for it

[high brook]

found this

earlier sketch of signed?

its more rough

[untold grotto]

yes

theres also an OG concept art

which is old signed concept

but Nikita dont like it and made the current concept

[severe merlin]

Like prototype 1

[severe merlin]

Can’t say yet. Because do not know. We currently exploring AI and it’s behavior so there is no definitive path we’ll take

In the meantime, tried a new Steam Deck game recording functionality!

[high brook]

reused hn2 sounds?

i know that window sound from anywhere LOL

[severe merlin]

[simple dragon]

very cool

[molten egret]

Oh, nice

[simple dragon]

im guessing this is a new way to represent if your in an illuminated area

[severe merlin]

Correct

[jade night]

So, the Forest Dweller is coming back? and if so, will the AI be a bit different?

[mystic topaz]

prototype 2 is lookin really good

[urban steppe]

This is starting to look so good, the level of polish prototype 2 has compared to 1 already is amazing, can't wait to play

[atomic forge]

Woowww, that looks fire🔥 🔥 🔥

The lights is so good

[urban steppe]

Also, if you can answer, are there any plans on expanding the inventory? Since there are so many items 4 slots feels like a little too less.

[mystic topaz]

I could imagine disrupting signed's workout and he drops the weight comedically on his foot

[untold grotto]

rbo backpack.... hm

[mystic topaz]

also it seems like openable windows are making a return from hn2 nice

[desert shard]

lets hope the forest dweller gets a proper model

[soft gulch]

Something i do wonder is if the forest dweller will still have the exact same placeholder model, or a different model

[untold grotto]

no character modeler

[soft gulch]

i mean i do have to assume it will be the same placeholder model

[untold grotto]

placeholder model

[high brook]

guest plz

forest dweller doesnt make sense

[molten egret]

Nikita, I wanted to thank you for the whole "Hello Neighbour" franchise, because it supported me in the most difficult times. Although I figured it out, but now I see that the game is returning to its origins, and it makes me endlessly happy

[untold grotto]

also, forest dweller IS the guest

[atomic forge]

I hope that HN3 will be the most atmospheric HN game OAT

[storm crown]

Why signed lives in house without walls

[simple dragon]

well if he is the guest he already has a model they are just hiding it

[soft gulch]

i said a different model and not a final model because i do know there's no character modeler yet

[untold grotto]

unfinished house

[mystic topaz]

I really enjoy HN3's environment it looks very beautiful

[soft gulch]

so if it was a different model it still would be a placeholder one

[high brook]

if we get to see the guest model used in that one pic i will be happy

evern if its crappy

its still him

[untold grotto]

hn3 keyart

[spiral atlas]

I love the way this looks, you guys are doing great!

[severe merlin]

We have plans to rework it. But do not have definitive answer yet. It’s a bit more complex than just expanding. Since some sort of item management got to be present, yet we not sure in what form exactly.

[urban steppe]

Good to know, thanks for answering

[severe merlin]

One more short video, and that’s it 🙂

[urban steppe]

I would definitely love to see something similar to the HN2 inventory, but with a bit more management like RBO, as in, it's an actual physical bag but with more intuitive UI

[urban steppe]

It's back ❤️

[atomic forge]

Lol, a shark-mech on wheels

[urban steppe]

It's the lawn-o-tron

[molten egret]

It looks like the prototype is almost ready for release

[untold grotto]

no?

[urban steppe]

This reminds me so much of the old Hello Neighbor in a very good way, makes me feel nostalgic for alpha 1 of HN1.

[storm crown]

Lawn-o-tron!

[untold grotto]

look at the first clip bro

[urban steppe]

What about it, also Nikita said that prototype 2 is nearing completion himself

[untold grotto]

we already knew it would come back from devlog, it was no surprise

[urban steppe]

They're slowly moving onto making the next one already

[atomic forge]

Will there be more time for walkthrough in prototype 2?

[urban steppe]

I'm sorry but do you have to be so damn condescending each time you answer? Let people have joy over things and speculate.

[high brook]

prototype 1.5? maybe?? lol

[untold grotto]

it was no surprise for me 🤷🏻

[urban steppe]

I know it probably wasn't your intention but it feels to me like you just want to be the one with the right answer all the time.

[atomic forge]

Will the player be able to have his own shelter?

[spiral atlas]

I absolutely love the direction the visual aspects of this game are taking

[urban steppe]

I'm not trying to insult or anything, but I was just being happy that it's back. I didn't analyze the devlogs conpletely so I didn't even notice if it was there at all.

[high brook]

you know what would be cool? if you could BUILD your own house

[urban steppe]

Anywho, I'm really excited for prototype 2

[atomic forge]

Me too

[mortal dove]

https://tenor.com/view/agent-stone-sonic-the-hedgehog-sonic-the-hedgehog-2-sonic-movie-2-he's-back-gif-4112317903333909072

i missed these guys so much

[atomic forge]

OMG, the chicken jockey number 1 enemy

[molten egret]

No

[atomic forge]

Minecraft be like

[high brook]

we need hellocraft

[urban steppe]

To me it feels a lot like alpha 1 of HN1, just much more 'fresh' if you know what I mean

[severe merlin]

What do you mean?

[urban steppe]

Which is a good thing

[atomic forge]

Like the player house in HN1 or WCN in HN2

[crystal hare]

Will hn3 characters get their own chase music?

[sonic birch]

im glad the timer was slowed down

[spiral atlas]

It feels like a mix of almost each artstyle in the best way possible to me, like it took the best aspects of each and mashed it up into something great

[severe merlin]

No, player is not from Raven Brooks

[mortal dove]

how does the player end up in the town? did their car break down or what

[atomic forge]

Thanks for answering, appreciate it

[urban steppe]

It's taking a lot of good aspects from the previous games and bringing in new interesting and quirky mechanics to the table

[untold grotto]

well will there be a place we can use as a kind of base?

[sonic birch]

wait i forgot, is the player character gonna have their own model and name in the full game

[high brook]

that might be why we break in

lol

[fast mason]

He's back

[mortal dove]

its obviously not gonna be jacob

[sonic birch]

or are they gonna remain as 'the player' or 'you'

ik

[mortal dove]

theres still gonna be a model made

[untold grotto]

theres no concept art of the player yet

[sonic birch]

i would love to know more about who you are in HN3 soon

[urban steppe]

I'm glad it's starting to shape up in a more stylized way because at first everything felt a bit too bland but it looks really nice now

[mortal dove]

Im really curious on what the player character is gonna look like

[sonic birch]

maybe in devlog 3

[spiral atlas]

Agreed, and the fact this is still prototype stages is crazy

[high brook]

bro replied to his own question

[untold grotto]

what about character customization come back?

[sonic birch]

i doubt

[urban steppe]

It wouldn't make much sense imo

[oblique parcel]

Bruh

I missed everything

[urban steppe]

I mean, it kind of would, but also wouldn't

[agile kelp]

will player be revealed in future devlog 🙏🏻

[storm crown]

Welp, btw happy birthday

[untold grotto]

i mean theres no player yet

not even a concept art

[atomic forge]

I hope he will

[untold grotto]

nikita said its just ideally now

[sonic birch]

maybe we could see concept art then

[untold grotto]

(unless a concept art has been designed in the meantime)

[slow blade]

Hello

[urban steppe]

Since HN3 is all about choosing your own adventure then having the player just be 'you' could make sense but I think having a set player character like the previous really helps to flesh out the story

[mortal dove]

I would prefer if the player character was still their own character

I loved Quentin

[urban steppe]

The man behind terrorizing a librarian

[past cedar]

that prototype 2 footage goes hard

[sonic birch]

i hope hn3 character is as lovable as quentin

[atomic forge]

Huh, I was wondering, if Nicky Roth will be in HN3

[mortal dove]

same

[urban steppe]

Jacob and Iris have a very similar vibe to Quentin and Beatrix

[high brook]

does anyone else suck at drawing on pc?

[tepid flicker]

This looks so cool! It looks really polished for a prototype.

[urban steppe]

Hello Aidan

[blissful river]

This is so good! Very excited.

[urban steppe]

Happy birthday to you

[tepid flicker]

Thank you Marcy!

[storm crown]

Happy birthday

[tepid flicker]

Thank you ViVi!

[high brook]

i need to see imbir in hn3

if imbir isnt there im gonna cry

[restive oxide]

Eventually will the lighting system be based on actual light value instead of location? That might be how it already is but in proto 1 it seemed like it had nothing to do with actual light value

[near meadow]

I tried to replicate your artstyle😅

[wheat apex]

That's sad

[wheat apex]

Just asking, what do you think about the art?(asking Nikita also)

[high brook]

i wanna see this house in hn3 so bad

it would make a great house for the neighbor

[untold grotto]

nah

[untold grotto]

well they sort of reused it in rbo pre alpha

the textured one

but Nikita said they dont have plans for it at the moment

[foggy plaza]

I like how there bringing more stuff from RBO

Or at least reshaping it a lil

[grim lark]

Well I am sorry to tell you this, but…

[ruby burrow]

any knew prototype out i can play

[swift dagger]

Will the neighbors red car still be in hn3 cuz if it is I’ll be surprised considering the fact it’s from the 80s

[high brook]

imagine its in the game but its literally destroyed and in peices

like without the wheels and stuff LOL

[mystic topaz]

not yet but soon

[bronze mauve]

I wonder if Hello Neighbor 3 pre Alpha coming to Xbox

[swift dagger]

Probably not

[restive oxide]

Maybe since hello guest did

[lucid sand]

Only steam

[swift dagger]

They could bc hg was in the Xbox store

I mean Microsoft store

[swift dagger]

Kinda sad that this poor elderly man lost his wife his daughter and everything he loved.

[atomic forge]

"I'm not a villain, I'm just unlucky."

[sturdy field]

Why?

[distant merlin]

I wanna see a gigachad version of him

[sturdy field]

sooo peeaaaak

[lucid sand]

Prototype 1 was only on steam

[sturdy field]

Oh sorry I read wrong

[frosty summit]

ooooh

hn3 prototype 2

looks nice

[wooden condor]

Prototype 2 gonna release right after upcoming devlog like p1? Or it will release when it will be fully done?

[cunning yacht]

o

[gentle pebble]

It will come with Devlog 3

[wooden condor]

3*

[gentle pebble]

Fixed it

[shadow tulip]

Yeah...

[urban steppe]

I'm so glad prototype 2 has atmospheric music already
The house ambience from the videos sounds creepy can't wait to hear it in full

[severe merlin]

Ragdoll also returns. Currently in a very simple form. In the future prototypes there will be a proper physical animation.

[urban steppe]

Oh my god this is so good

The game is really progressing quickly, this is so much more detailed than prototype 1 already

And the music sounds really nice, can't wait to hear all of it

Also, it looks like time is moving slower now, since I remember it moving much quicker in prototype 1

[severe merlin]

P2 time frame is 30 minutes if I am not mistaken.

P1 was 10 or 15 (don’t remember)

[near meadow]

Oh

Mb

Lol

[urban steppe]

Ah that's nice, a bit more time

But I assume there's also a lot more to do in this one

[near meadow]

In glad 30 minute

[shadow tulip]

Hii

[severe merlin]

Correct

[near meadow]

Will neighbor get a model for prototype 3?

Curious

[high brook]

omg new ost??? epic

[urban steppe]

HN3 is really like a dream HN game, it seems to combine all the best aspects of the previous games

[severe merlin]

Unlikely

[shadow tulip]

Are there any plans for a HN game base on Theodre Peterson?

[sonic birch]

so you can just bully these poor guys if you want lol

[urban steppe]

If you can answer, are there any plans for wildlife in the game? Like cats, dogs etc.
I think that could add to the atmosphere a lot. And also crows, they're iconic to this franchise.

[severe merlin]

What do you mean?

[sonic birch]

arent they all???

[near meadow]

What about that “man” model?

Apparently the tall dude has a model right?

Will we see in it in one of the prototypes?

[sonic birch]

this

i need this answered

[shadow tulip]

Like a whole story for the neighbour. (Just based on him/deep dive into his life)

[severe merlin]

We thinking about it, but can’t say for sure yet.

[shadow tulip]

(Backstory)

YIPEEEEEEE

[urban steppe]

Ok, thanks for the answer.

[shadow tulip]

That's all I need bro

[sonic birch]

he answered another question

[shadow tulip]

Thanks for the info

[severe merlin]

You mean outside of HN3? Just different game?

[shadow tulip]

Yea

I'm new to this serv

But yes

[severe merlin]

We practically just started HN3. This is the game we currently fully focused on.

[near meadow]

Actually will there be more characters in prototype 3 or still the same big three?

[severe merlin]

There will be more

[sonic birch]

i think the neighbor might appear in P3

[shadow tulip]

I fully understand. Keep up the good work dude! Love your content and don't let anyone pressure you! ❤

[urban steppe]

#hn3-discussion message

[sonic birch]

oh sorry

didnt see that

what other characters then? coned? covered?

[urban steppe]

I assume one of them, unless they reveal any more before then.

[high brook]

wait did i hear him scream? what was that!?? lol

[urban steppe]

Iirc the plan for the full release is around 15-20 characters, which is exciting. Hopefully they can pull it off.

[urban steppe]

Yes

[sonic birch]

sounds exciting, it would be neat seeing all of them interact with each other

[sonic birch]

finally raven brooks will actually feel alive with people

[rigid hare]

grandeturisto. Did you come up with the idea that Quentin falls unconscious every 2.7 seconds?

[sonic birch]

yeah im done with this chat, cya guys

[oblique parcel]

Quentin 2.0

[urban steppe]

plop

[high brook]

imagine the tall guy with ragdoll physics 💀

[shadow tulip]

What do you guys think about the fan games?

[high brook]

theres already fan games of hn3??

that was fast

[shadow tulip]

There is???

Are*

Sorry

Anyway

I gtg

Bye guys!!!

For now...

[near meadow]

Nice. What does the coneface guy do? I always liked his design, and found him strange.

With him pointing in that one illustration is he basically a guide?

Or the same as signed, just with a cone on his head

[urban steppe]

Also, cake 🍰

[oblique parcel]

So far hn3 is problaby shaping up to be the best hn game already for me

To be exact and obviously stuff can Change as its in prototype stage but as it is now it really is

I would say Even more so than hn2 was in 2021(it was really cool on concept but i Think hn3 so far is even better)

Hn3 is really sorta bringing back a lot of the cool stuff hn2 was mean’t to have and making it better

[near meadow]

Because its gonna stick to its concept

They arr actually gonna let it cook

Also I just trust nikita more

Because hn2 kinda went downhill after he left.

Not his vision anymore.

[atomic forge]

Fall

[proud glade]

Will HN3 have AI models for characters that learn over time or only the ‘if’ statement type behaviour where the characters will choose the option that fulfills their desire?

[oblique parcel]

Well no neural network but it might be able to learn slightly from 1 player

But They arent sure yet

I do hope They do end up implementing some basic learning

[mortal dove]

is the music edited in or does it actually play in game?

sounds nice

[urban steppe]

why would it be edited in

[gloomy ether]

hi guys

[frosty summit]

oooh

[small goblet]

What about the design of people? Will they also stay these colors or will they be more human?

[wooden condor]

Nikita should re-use this guy in hn3

I hope

[urban steppe]

I mean... like...

they're practically the same

[wooden condor]

This guy - Signed

[wooden condor]

This guy - Masked

[modest canopy]

In prototype 2 or at least prototype 3 will there already be support for dlss and fsr?

[midnight kiln]

where is beatrix?

[urban steppe]

dead

[midnight kiln]

😭

And if Quentin kisses her, will she come back to life?

💀

[wooden condor]

She's Quentin's sister, bro...

[molten trout]

yeah

was gonna say that

[midnight kiln]

ооооh...

[molten trout]

💀

[midnight kiln]

I understand, and if they kiss, she will be resurrected?💀

[molten trout]

bro 😭

[midnight kiln]

and then can you tell me the whole plot of the game and I honestly won't tell anyone💀

[midnight kiln]

what?

[verbal flint]

theyre brother and sister bro 😭

[molten trout]

bro still asks even tho limakt said they're siblings

[midnight kiln]

ok but what if a guest kisses her

[midnight kiln]

Well then if Aaron kisses her, will she come back?

aaron's a kid 🙏

[mortal dove]

bro what the hell is this chat

[mortal dove]

signed is literally based off of the hello guest vandal

its nikita reusing the ideas for the vandals for hn3

signed,coned and covered are even called vandals

its just a design change

[midnight kiln]

I'm here to prove to you that hello neighbor is a very interesting game that at first gives hope for a character and then this character is nobody in the plot

[storm crown]

Cake is a truth

[broken galleon]

Time for employment

[sturdy field]

I will cry, game is awsome

[stiff osprey]

Hi I wanted to ask if the weather was something that was to be sort of tested to see if it worked or was like an entire thing and where Hn3 will be time based due to the weather approaching?

The weather will make it harder and challenging for the player to complete the primary task.

Also that is very good.

[severe merlin]

It’s in game

[severe merlin]

Definitely not in P2. Can’t say for P3 for sure yet.

[untold grotto]

will glue in rbo return?

this

[severe merlin]

There is already glue in P2

[mystic topaz]

question will we have any return of glidable tools such as the umbrella or perhaps the fire extinguisher return from previous HN games?

[modest canopy]

uh, I'll have to lower the settings again((

[severe merlin]

Who knows, maybe

[spiral atlas]

Hey Nikita, you mentioned that there will be more characters in prototype 3, are you allowed to share if they're ones we know? Or are they completely new ones we've never seen.

[glad narwhal]

Hey Nikita, i have one question. Will that idea of crafting or combining certain objects togethor to create a new one from the hello neighbor kickstarter return in HN3? Or atleast, is their any plans to?

[untold grotto]

the other game designer Alexander said "it was a thing in RBO, but we don't have any such plans for hn3"

[glad narwhal]

oh dang

[frigid ruin]

question would we experience prototype 2 this month or next month?

[untold grotto]

#hn3-discussion message the source btw

[untold grotto]

probably next month

since devlog is still in scripting stage

[severe merlin]

Currently we don’t have plans for crafting

[brisk ocean]

Hi Nikita. I'm still wondering if the second prototype will be as time-limited as the first prototype.

[untold grotto]

it will be time-limited according to tinyJay

[gentle pebble]

Will vents in the houses be added like RBO prototype in P3 or Alphas

[gloomy ether]

Nikita hello, will there be any new endings added?

[severe merlin]

[gentle pebble]

Okay

[gentle pebble]

Will this location ever be used in the alphas or P3

[oblique parcel]

I don’t Think they’re sure yet

As they’re test location’s for now

[gentle pebble]

I hope one day they release the test locations when the full games come out

[oblique parcel]

Eh seeing them is enough

[urban steppe]

They're test locations for a reason

[foggy plaza]

When can we expect prototype 2 to release, it seems a lil close with all the footage of the mechanics

Just like a estimate

[near meadow]

How many explorable buildings are in prototype 2?

[digital linden]

Beatrix is quentins wife?

[daring forge]

She is Quentin’s sister

[unborn edge]

i mean,all the buildings are gonna be explorable, they don't want any fake background buildings. if the map is gonna be smaller but make all the buildings explorable, then they will do that

and as for prototype 2, there's most likely gonna be a few abandonned buildings with other houses attributed to the npcs we have at the moment

[raven pilot]

ìdk if this has already been asked but prototype 2 will have fall damage?

[spiral quiver]

Crafting as a mechanic is too vague, I think it's easy to make it bad and intrusive in the HN format

[celest plank]

he wont say it

[foggy plaza]

mb

[celest plank]

i think itll release soon tho

maybe late april

[ionic spear]

i think, released may

[loud karma]

i think mid to late april cuz of the amount of teasers we just got

[celest plank]

yeah i thought the same

nikita has been giving a lot of sneak peeks lately

[untold grotto]

devlog is in scripting stage though

[celest plank]

i doubt its gonna released on mid april tho

i think it can be done by the end of april

[loud karma]

really depends on how long the devlog itself is

[lavish ravine]

I don't know if Nikita (grandeturisto) will see this question, but do you think Hello Neighbor will be revived thanks to the 3rd installment ?

[celest plank]

i hope yes

the game has a MASSIVE potential am i right guys

[near meadow]

As long they never make the same mistakes they did with hn2 and hn1

Nikita is aware of these mistakes too

Btw

I have hope

[celest plank]

i doubt hn3 will be bd

bad

[untold grotto]

well buddy you cant see future

[celest plank]

i mean hn2 was almost perfect imo and when nikita left they screwed up

[jade night]

❌

[west dust]

"hn2 was perfect"?

[celest plank]

the alphas

[west dust]

Alphas

Not main game lol

[daring gyro]

funniest shit of today, thanks for this opinion

[jade night]

The visuals were really messy and just gross at times.

😭

[west dust]

As always breuh

[celest plank]

well these were just alphas

ig

[jade night]

Yet, the HN3 prototypes looks far much better then the alphas.

[celest plank]

the prototype looked too yellow idk how to describe it but yeah

[fringe igloo]

Alphas were fun to play around with honestly, I miss 1.5 guest.

[west dust]

Tbh alpha 1 > hn1

[jade night]

boring tbh

HN3 prototype 2 will probably be as replayable, if not more, then the HN2 alphas.

[west dust]

Still it's better than full hn1

[jade night]

I have more fun breaking the game in HN1.

[west dust]

Small amount of content, yeah, but better

[untold grotto]

pre alpha and alpha 1 is overrated

[celest plank]

hn2 alphas made us do stuff in 1 house again i like how you had to do things in different houses too in hn2

[west dust]

But they fr got cool gameplay, and... Gameplay lol

[jade night]

Pre Alpha is good, because it's simple and the AI is really good for just a pre alpha, alpha 1 sucks really badly though.

[untold grotto]

are we playing same alphas buddy

[west dust]

Hn1 is just a very "cool" puzzles

[celest plank]

what

[west dust]

Alphas had gameplay

[untold grotto]

hn2 was always a open world game

not focuses on just one house

[celest plank]

yeah but the main area was just the neighbors house in the alphas

[jade night]

Alpha 2 is good too, since it was the first build of HN that was really mean't to be seen publicly

[old pawn]

I prefer the hn2 alphas blueish and green vibes over the yellow from p1, but ofc they are only prototypes, we have to wait for a fair comparison

[jade night]

they put effort into the visuals, making things look nice.

[daring gyro]

that's crazy because one of the few bad things about hn1 is the puzzles, some are just so stupidly hard

[west dust]

Alpha 2 is cool too but had problems + discontinued.
Rip basement run

[jade night]

this is the atmosphere they are trying to go for.

[celest plank]

a lot of the hn1 puzzles just make no sense

[celest plank]

thats far better than prototype 1

its kinda like hn2 alphas but less colorful

[west dust]

Looks like my childhood house lol

[untold grotto]

cuz prototype 1 is just stock models

its not prototype 2 btw

[jade night]

?

[untold grotto]

prototype 1 is just mix of stock models placeholders and some hn2 textures

[jade night]

the only stock models, are the foliage.

which isn't a bad thing to do.

[daring gyro]

like 7 trees? 😭

[old pawn]

yeah, I mean is very different and much darker than this

[blissful river]

Yeah. It’s a good way to save time.

[untold grotto]

yeah its not a problem or smth

[jade night]

Like hell, up until alpha 4 in the first HN, they were using stock foliage

[blissful river]

And the trees have custom textures. 🔥

[jade night]

(alpha 4 they then used their own)

[untold grotto]

im just saying

"it is normal that prototype 2 looks much better than prototype 1 in terms of art style"

[blissful river]

Yes for sure.

Prototype 2 is already a big upgrade even now. The houses having actual things inside them is so good to see.

[tacit breach]

I assume its still the same 3 (+ forest dweller) for p2?

[untold grotto]

yep

[near meadow]

Yes

I have a feeling the guest design will be revealed in devlog 3

[untold grotto]

nikita emphasized "future episodeS" twice

so very highly not devlog 3

[near meadow]

Damg

[untold grotto]

devlog 4 maybe?

[high brook]

how many prototypes do u think there will be?

im gonna go with 3 or 5

[frigid ruin]

Hello Neighbor 2 beta has been released for 3 years today.

[frigid ruin]

maybe 3

[high brook]

the full game is still in beta lol

it literally says in the files "hello neighbor 2 beta"

as the games name thingy

[untold grotto]

because its just act 1 of hn2

[high brook]

you mean

the games only HALF?

[untold grotto]

yep

its was why people waiting for patches

[high brook]

so theres a WHOLE other part of the game????

[untold grotto]

was supposed to be

the forest part was just a demo of act2 (?)

[daring gyro]

I ate It Sorry

[untold grotto]

and probably last chapter of act 2 since its ending called as "act2Ending" in files

[frigid ruin]

but the game is cancelled so there's no act 2

personally i liked the beta more than the full game.

[celest plank]

will the neighbor react to the lights of flashlights

[high brook]

i hope the hn3 ost releases with devlog 3 (well some of it atleast)

like the ost from the ragdolls clip

[untold grotto]

prototype 2 files 🤦🏻

its in-game audio

[wild kraken]

;

[shadow tulip]

I'm back 😄

What'd I miss?

[dawn sail]

yOu KnOw WhAt ElSe Is MaSsIvE?

[crude basin]

dead meme

[dawn sail]

still massive

[high brook]

does anyone have the hd picture of coned?

[agile kelp]

Low taper fade ain’t massive in the big 25

[swift dagger]

Will yall give the devs another chance if hn3 fails I’m just wondering

[low gate]

To be honest i dont really care man i like hello neighbor and ill play it and have fun no matter what anyone thinks or if my expectations were lowered. And lets be honest full game was better the alphas.

[cunning yacht]

hello neighbor gotta be a Massive franchise. not Massive as mario but it is still low.
the hn3 got new items saw and a Taper
do anyone think after hn3 gets finished. will the franchise Fade?*

[low gate]

No probably not. HN3 had a pretty good reaction considering how much people will go to take the piss out of this franchise as much as possible.

[cunning yacht]

well. thats good

[low gate]

I think it can only really get better from here but ya never know.

[mystic topaz]

yeah

[cunning yacht]

hn3 got better. a game being a ragdoll engine is much funnier

[mystic topaz]

ngl I'm still gonna follow the franchise no matter what but seeing it get thrown down like shit is pretty sad I understand where they're coming from but yeah

[low gate]

Sheeprampage is licking his lips right now

Another 375 videos on why the prototypes only exist for relevancy

[glad narwhal]

Wait I do have a funny question about Jacob and Iris that ive always been wondering (not story related). Was it intentional for their character traits to be similar to how Quentin and
Beatrix were portrayed in hello guest ( mostly Jacob ). Even some elements of design aswell whike not fully looking like them have some elements. Like Quentin with his oragne hat and frizzyish hair, Jacob with his orange beenie and his frizzyish hair. Beatrix with her longer puffy gonger hair, while Iris with her long puffy blue hair. They have enough contrast to make them look basically nothing like each other, but they do share traits of character and have some sharing elements of design.

[restive oxide]

How does Jacob look anything like Quentin

[urban steppe]

It's not that he looks like him It's that he acts like him

[shadow tulip]

Harro

What I miss again?

So, I have a question..

When is HN3 going to release?

[urban steppe]

There's no way to know that yet

[shadow tulip]

Isn't it 2027?

Or something

[oblique parcel]

possible ig but we don.t know

[shadow tulip]

K

[obtuse hornet]

December 2027 would be funny-

[gentle pebble]

Nikita how much GB is Prototype 2

P1 was 1.49 GB

[oblique parcel]

I really hope they just take their time as much as possible

And that they don’t say hey we should try to somehow get it out by next year

Because i absolutely hate rushing when it comes to games nothing good comes out of it

But so far they’re clearly not rushing anything just to get it out to the public as fast as possible which is really good

[cunning yacht]

bigger maps? and new features?.
gotta be more bigger than 1.49GB

[celest plank]

of course it will be bigger

theres more content

[oblique parcel]

Nikita idk if it’s too early for me to ask this but do you think covered will always have her rollerskates on? Or is she planned to be able to take them off at time like when she’s inside her home etc

[low gate]

How do either of them look even remotley similar to eachother

[wild kindle]

What's AS?

[oblique parcel]

Animated series

[wild kindle]

Thanks

[mystic topaz]

fr every HN game releases during the holiday season except for Hello Engineer and Secret Neighbor
