hn3-discussion

[civic totem]

Ok, I choose the first option

I see

[gentle pebble]

It would have been interesting if there was a fake guest character to impose the real one

[simple dragon]

When the whole fake guest thing was found I kinda liked the idea of that too but it is definitely not that

[gentle pebble]

It would have been more interesting

[untold grotto]

hg all over again

💔

[civic totem]

Why would there be a fake Guest though? Why not just have the actual Guest?

[untold grotto]

no need for fake guest though

[gentle pebble]

2 of them one of the guest is the imposter of the other

[civic totem]

Did HG have a fake Guest

[gentle pebble]

No

[untold grotto]

hg = rbo
hn 2 = hn3
neighbor fake = fake guest

[simple dragon]

Idk the people worship him in the town it seems like so someone would definitely try to be the guest to fit in or smth?

this is definitely not true but

[civic totem]

I see

[untold grotto]

its the reference

[untold grotto]

did they worship him

[civic totem]

I mean... you have the Town Festival

[simple dragon]

The statue in the town is the guest so ig

[civic totem]

Which has the Guest statue

[untold grotto]

well yeah its also named god in files iirc

or smth like that

[simple dragon]

yeah so that would kinda make sense

[civic totem]

I think it's a bit too early to say anything about that

[gentle pebble]

I hope HN3 will be the first full game to have the Meteostation

[grim lark]

Sn:

/j

[gentle pebble]

It’s a not a proper game

[civic totem]

There's a chance Mayak can be in HN3 since it's reusing a lot of stuff from HG/Old HN2

[grim lark]

Is any of this franchise?

[simple dragon]

I think he means a mainline game

[gentle pebble]

Yes exactly

[gentle pebble]

Yes there is H&S, HN 1, HN 2, S&R and finally HN 3

[civic totem]

If the Guest's finished model in HN3 keeps his tall appearence from his placeholder model, what would his jumpscare be like? Because the player would be shorter than him

[woven lodge]

He picks up the player and kicks them.

[civic totem]

Lol

[near meadow]

Havent seen you in a while, where were you? The past few weeks?

[civic totem]

This is where he has been

[celest plank]

YES

i love this 😭

im shaking finally something new

[loud karma]

this is gonna make in some funny interactions

[tepid flicker]

#JusticeforJacob

[civic totem]

He gets caught by the Forest Dweller in P1 and in P3 he'll get stuff thrown at him

[high brook]

Nikita finally saying something makes me so happy

[peak solar]

looks like they've been focusing on the game mainly

so that's good

[untold grotto]

prototype 2 this Thursday

trust

[urban steppe]

I love how Jacob's screams overlap there

and also imagine getting hit on the back with a toolbox

[cunning yacht]

pain

[storm cave]

Not only hg/hn2

They re-use other things from hn1/hn1 alpha’s

[woven lodge]

I told you it's this Christmas.

[formal solar]

Hello neighbor 4 is coming out this Christmas?

[agile kelp]

no

[worldly sedge]

wait will the prototype be given out ot people that request it?

[high brook]

i hope they dont do the stupid ahh limited keys again

[worldly sedge]

yeah

btw is hn2 worth getting?

[high brook]

absolutely

[cerulean solstice]

can someone help me w hn2

[worldly sedge]

i still have the beta on my old hard drive where i had my old steam account i still get nostalgic vibes from the music

[high brook]

hn2 beta?

like the playtest?

[worldly sedge]

yeah when i bought the deluxe edition

its now all in waste now

[high brook]

i still have it on my steam acc

rn

installed rn as a matter of fact

[worldly sedge]

i want to buy it but idk when its on sale

anybody wanna play hn breakout?

[stuck lynx]

No not really

Not worth the price it is rn

[worldly sedge]

i said on sale btw

[high brook]

my prediction for prototype 2 release is may 12th or may 14th

just a guess tho

[stuck lynx]

I wouldn’t say it’s even worth it when on sale but if you really want it buy it on sale

[worldly sedge]

anybody wanna play alpha 1.5 (hn2) multiplayer?

[earnest cape]

FINALLY

Felt like ages.

[high brook]

5 months?

i might be wrong

[civic totem]

We got a new teaser last month though

And P1 released 3 months ago

[earnest cape]

Nahhhhh, felt more like a couple years.

[frozen mauve]

hello

[cunning yacht]

neighbor

[high brook]

goodbye

[abstract shard]

Dear TinyBuild,
As Turkish players, we would like to request Turkish subtitles in Hello Neighbor 3. Hello Neighbor 1 had Turkish subtitles, so we’re wondering why Hello Neighbor 3 does not include them. The Hello Neighbor series is very popular in our country its videos get a lot of views, and Turkey is a huge gaming market. Games that support Turkish subtitles sell much better here, such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, The Witcher 3, and Uncharted.
Please consider adding Turkish subtitles to the game.

[grim lark]

The game doesnt even have dialogues

What are you on about

Also hello neighbor 3 didnt even come out yet

[untold grotto]

exactly

you dont need any language to play hn games

[restive oxide]

Wha

HN1 subtitles

Like what

[woven lodge]

For when you say Hello to the Neighbor.

[restive oxide]

The game doesn't even have talking bro 😭

[woven lodge]

Why are you guys replying to them like they speak full English? They wouldn't be asking for subtitles if they did.

[main dove]

It would've been better if you use this line last after "also hello neighbor 3 didnt even come out yet"

Because why does he think hn3 has already come out

Did he drink beer or something

Go back to sleep Ole grandpa merr

[woven lodge]

Probably because they don't speak complete English?

[main dove]

Idk man

[daring forge]

Guys I think this is a bot

[main dove]

Ban?

[restive oxide]

Wha

[main dove]

https://tenor.com/view/kof-xv-the-king-of-gif-20933547

[restive oxide]

What kinda bot asks for Turkish subtitles

[main dove]

Prepare to die, mert

[woven lodge]

Bots don't reply to people.

[main dove]

Your surface as a human being of a bot will not be lived upon

[main dove]

Are you an alt acc to krypton veronie or something?

[restive oxide]

What

Why would he be???

[woven lodge]

Yep totally, I am Krypton Veronie and I am actually super evil.

[restive oxide]

Accurate

[main dove]

How dare you...

Prepare to be extinct, kyrpton.

🔫

[untold grotto]

🙏🏻😈

[woven lodge]

Guys Hello Neighbor 3 prototype 2 this Christmas! Wow!

[storm cave]

challenge: hello neighbor community won't ask questions about hn3 prototype 2 all week (impossible)

[woven lodge]

I made a statement.

[high brook]

if prototype 2 doesnt release within the next week or two im gonna cry

[woven lodge]

Stop having high expectations then.

What if they don't even release prototype 2 publicly?

[storm cave]

They should?

they clearly have a plan to release it, the problem is that they want to release it with a devlog. And at what stage the devlog is - no one knows

[abstract shard]

"I am not a bot, I just asked for my language in the game."

[civic totem]

Actually

There are people who knows at what stage the devlog is

It's the people who are making the devlog

[high brook]

uhh dont relase it wit delovg then EZ

[wide hornet]

hi

im Super Sonic

Who are you

[civic totem]

Ok bro

Ahh... mid...

[woven lodge]

Someone should animate that in the Neighbor model.

[halcyon trout]

Hello neighbor 3?

[high brook]

you could also use viggle ai or something lol (it would be funnier if it was ai)

[broken galleon]

🤮

[past pivot]

it would be worse if it was ai

anyways

any clue when prototype 2 comes out!

?

[restive oxide]

I'm thinking 2 weeks

[vital dirge]

i guess mid of june

[gentle pebble]

June is very late

[untold grotto]

why would it be that late?

Devlogs are meant to be release in every 5-8 weeks

[vital dirge]

before prototype 1 coming out we saw many concept arts and models coming out in “work in progress”.
now we hadn’t seen them since march 20.
i can be wrong btw, but i don’t think it’ll come in 2 weeks tho

[gentle pebble]

By mid to late May is most expected

[untold grotto]

theyre test locations btw

in-engine 3d concept art actually

not a part of a build

[gentle pebble]

They don’t want to share so much

[untold grotto]

and prototype 2 is finished

[untold grotto]

becase its not smth important

[nimble walrus]

What he means, is to add Turkish language. Where it changes from English to Turkish, for non English speakers.

[bronze steppe]

the thing is what they are waiting for ngl

[untold grotto]

devlog

[bronze steppe]

yea ik

[molten trout]

in the devlog nikita's gonna break into a house

mark my words

[bronze steppe]

lool

[merry bolt]

He means translation for ui in game..

[nimble walrus]

Yeah that...

[lunar trail]

HN1 had a Turkish option but like since the game itself doesn't have any dialogue it just translated the Main Menu, in the end it barely mattered. Since HN3 probably will be the same i don't think that's needed again. Like sure, it'd be cool to see the Main Menu in Turkish but it's barely a necessity i'd say

[untold grotto]

it's just a waste of time dealing with agencies tbh

no need for turkish or any lesser known languages

[gentle pebble]

Or use google translate

[lunar trail]

It's not about not understanding what the menu says, It's about seeing your own language in the game you like

and considering HN is popular in Turkey and tB did take a step to appeal to Turkey with Fauna Entertainment on merch and stuff. It would be nice if they did add a Turkish option to HN3

[daring gyro]

It's crazy how some people do not grasp this concept like it doesn't even cross my head that someone would not think about this

But then again i think Italians are the prime example of "THAT'S MEEE" in everything so it might just be bias

[abstract shard]

I think adding Turkish subtitles makes sense for them too. With AI, it has become very easy. They could market the game very well in Turkey with Turkish subtitles.

[lunar trail]

Nuh uh, Don't use AI

That would suck bad

Also dude the game won't have subtitles at all. there's no talking in the game

translating a few texts on the Main Menu doesn't require AI

[untold grotto]

what subtitles

like

[urban steppe]

I understand the want to see a game in your language but why make such a big deal out of it especially when this game has no dialogue and won't have any. There's also the fact that we're talking about a game that is in prototype stage here, when HN2 didn't get any translation until the betas + more got added in the full release (same goes for HN1).

[lunar trail]

I mean, for Turkish, HN2 didn't get it in the end either

[urban steppe]

The only time it needs translation is the about 2 minutes you will spend in the menu anywho.

[lunar trail]

True

[untold grotto]

because tB stopped working with agencies that provide Turkish translation service

this wasn't a specific decision for Turkish, they probably changed the translation agency altogether

[lunar trail]

Now that i think about it, If they don't use Wayron Croobian in the game, they might be able to do some localization by translating the textures to other languages.

But that'd probably require more effort

[urban steppe]

It's not like the 'croobian' text wasn't already jumbled up english.

So even if you want to read that you still need to understand english.

Unless text in the game provides valuable information (which it doesn't in HN games) then there's not much need to translate it.

[lunar trail]

Yes but generally when they used Wayron Crobian they didn't rely on text much

HN3 is already a very different game than what came before (no cutscenes is a big deal) so to tell the story they might actually have to use text

Which is why i assume they decide to not use Wayron Croobian so far

[urban steppe]

I feel like people really don't understand what exactly no cutscenes means. It doesn't mean that the game won't have a certain set of story events, it's just that there won't be any scripted cinematics like in the other games.

[lunar trail]

Yea but that doesn't mean it won't affect how the story is conveyed through the game

[open plaza]

anything new yet, chat?

[lunar trail]

#hn3-discussion message

this is the only new thing we got lately

[untold grotto]

exactly

[lunar trail]

For example in HN1, how would you convey that Nicky got evicted if they decided to convey it to the player without cutscenes

[urban steppe]

That's a completely different story because HN1 doesn't have a dynamic world.

[lunar trail]

Yes you can make the player take boxes and load into the car, but that can give the impression that he's just moving himself

[lunar trail]

I'm giving an example overall bah

[umbral turret]

f

[lunar trail]

The easiest way to show that he's moving despite his will would be the eviction notice itself

In HN1 since the cutscenes exist, even though you cant read the notice, you can see he's not happy with what's happening

[urban steppe]

It's not even that clear in HN1 that Nicky gets evicted in the first place because most people won't be able to read the letter in the 3 seconds it's shown in the cutscene, they might as well think he moved out because of something else.

[lunar trail]

Are you trying to say that no cutscenes won't affect the way the story is conveyed in the game at all

[urban steppe]

A lot of HN's story was up for speculation, the cutscenes only partially showed how certain events really played out.

And no I'm not saying that.

[open plaza]

hn1 story is a mess to figure out

[urban steppe]

But the lack of cutscenes doesn't mean that the story can't be told in a clear way without text either. There will still be animated events of sorts all around the world + I'm sure environmental storytelling will be a thing like with all the other games. There's just a possibility that you will miss certain things because it's supposed to be fully dynamic (so depending on what you do in your playthrough events will unfold differently), I assume text will only play a small part in the overall.

[open plaza]

environmental story telling is cool

[open plaza]

Maybe they'll figure something out, liek if you missed an event you could see it on a town news board or something

[lunar trail]

Then i still think they should add Wayron Crobian back

anyway i gtg

[open plaza]

That'd be cool

[open plaza]

i think they will

[untold grotto]

actually

the player mustnt know Wayron Croobian

since theyre stranger

[opaque cosmos]

Hello my 3 neighbors

[open plaza]

if there's no wayron croobian im gonna be the saddest on the planet

[untold grotto]

you can't know the traditional language of the town you just arrived in (actually you somehow found yourself there)

[urban steppe]

A lot of games have no true cinematics but still tell story with events and dialogue. Since HN3 won't have dialogue it'll mostly tie down to you observing how characters behave, what they do, and what happens to them in the end.

[chrome solstice]

The only hello neighbor game (to my knowledge) that told a clear story with its cutscenes was hide and seek.

[opaque cosmos]

Hello Engineer

[urban steppe]

It was pretty much the only one

[open plaza]

Ew

[chrome solstice]

Ah yes, that thing

[open plaza]

that thing

[urban steppe]

A lot of the story in HN games is supposed to be symbolic, so the literal events that happen in cutscenes don't even always reflect what was actually happening.

HS is pretty much the only exception (HE is really weird and I don't want to get into it)
HN2 is more literal but it doesn't even have a complete story (+ it was different writers)

[civic totem]

Peak...

[open plaza]

I wonder how the story will play out in HN3, and if it will even play out considering its supposed to be "not scripted"
Like how would you define a canon ending event of some sort?

[chrome solstice]

That kinda makes hn art, and it's way of "showing things" what it is. That's been a thing since the alpha stages. The golden apples, eyes and the symbolic almost religios books.

[urban steppe]

I mean hell in the pre-alpha story the neighbor was like literally the devil

[untold grotto]

well i personally think all of endings end with storm kills all of townpeople

[chrome solstice]

Oh, cant forget the 666 under his shoes

[untold grotto]

and you will be the one who will make them happy before they die

[untold grotto]

but in other way, making one happy will make the other sad

[open plaza]

If the ending is "partially the same" for everyone (the same outcome, like the storm kills everyone) then thats fine
But then how do we differentiate the events that happened on everyones playthrough between canon and not? Will there be books / other form of defining that "canon"?

sry for my poor english lmao

[urban steppe]

It could as well just be speculative and not truly defined.

I.e. you decide how you want the characters' story to end for yourself.

Unless there is some sort of sequel that is based on the events of HN3 then there doesn't have to be a 100% canon ending.

Or like Nikita said it, everything is canon. 🙂

[open plaza]

🤷‍♂️

[open plaza]

I honestly hope they let go of HN with HN3

games at least

[urban steppe]

I feel like Nikita at least really wants to, but it's more money for tinyBuild so who knows when it will all stop

Though how many times can you age the neighbor and make the town more run down before it stops being reasonable

[open plaza]

well if Nikita wants to let go, he will just step down

AGAIN

[urban steppe]

He could, but he doesn't have a definitive say about what goes own with the franchise, because tinyBuild owns it and they could just make more without him if they wanted to.

[open plaza]

AND at the same time I dont want any new games without Nikita

[urban steppe]

I'm glad they're at least letting him do this one.

[open plaza]

[urban steppe]

Without interfering and having him change the story to fit the AS (please don't let that happen)

[open plaza]

'cause we all know how HN2 turned out

[open plaza]

oh no

the last thing i want to happen to that franchise is him change the story to fit the AS

that'd be so horrible

[oblique parcel]

I would just outright leave the fanbase if They did that

[opaque cosmos]

HN3 takes place long after the AS, how does that even work

[urban steppe]

if Alex wants something to work it will """work""" 🌚

[open plaza]

I wouldnt leave the fanbase, but I would stop giving any respect for tinybuild at all (||tbh there is less and less with everything they do, but its kinda fine now||)

[open plaza]

Time travel machines

[opaque cosmos]

💀

[open plaza]

[urban steppe]

That wouldn't even surprise me if they randomly did that

[open plaza]

YEAH SAME

tB just does the most random things imaginable

[urban steppe]

We already have luck devices, weather manipulation and time loops

[open plaza]

Since when?

[urban steppe]

since the books

[open plaza]

AS?

oh

[urban steppe]

well the weather manipulation kind of originates from HG/HN2

[open plaza]

I feel like AS, the books and the games are 3 different universes, dunno about that one, didnt get into the books

but it feels like it lol

[urban steppe]

They're all meant to be 'canon' but all of them differ enough that they could be considered their own universes.

AS just kind of mash ups different parts of the games and books and adds it's own stuff

[open plaza]

that is just dumb

tbh

[urban steppe]

I'm only really here for what Nikita has to tell

[oblique parcel]

It just kinda makes the story feel like nonsense im gonna be real

[open plaza]

Then i'll focus on games and ingame content to actually figure out the story of HN3

[open plaza]

it IS

[oblique parcel]

An example
Wdym guest is Theodore in reset day or possessing him

Wdym hes not guest in hn2 and everything Else nor supernatural

How more inconsistent can you get

[open plaza]

the only devs I have respect for in this server is the entirety of EGS (especially ex Dynamic Pixels) and modders

[urban steppe]

ok then

[urban steppe]

Anyway I feel like the guest from the beginning was meant to be more symbolic rather than a literal entity (especially considering what Nikita said about the story of HN2A1.5) but then Alex tells that he's supposed to be one specific person so who the hell knows.

[untold grotto]

EGS has 4-5 person from DP atm

[oblique parcel]

Yeah i feel like in the Books it might be like

The guest when he appears seperate from Ted is symbolic but as Ted hes real

[open plaza]

Theodore

But apparently not

[open plaza]

Yea I know :(

[civic totem]

What did Nikita say about A1.5's story?

[urban steppe]

The guest represents weather

[oblique parcel]

Which align with gn2 as hes shown in Weather a lot

[urban steppe]

And it tells how the missing children got lost in a storm but in a way twisted by Quentin's imagination because he's silly and wants to report fake news

[untold grotto]

nikita, slava, yuriy, anna

[urban steppe]

Nikita wanted to give the players a choice between chasing real news or fake made up news in HN2

[civic totem]

So the Guest in A1.5 isn't real?

[urban steppe]

not really no

[untold grotto]

nothing in Alpha 1.5 is real

[oblique parcel]

If guest isn’t real in hn3 idk if i Will like that

[civic totem]

Huh...

[untold grotto]

its quentin's "imagination"

[urban steppe]

the entirety of alpha 1.5 is just stuff quentin made up for the news

[open plaza]

It's confusing as hell . . .

[untold grotto]

yeah its better wording

[open plaza]

Should we even consider alphas canon?

[civic totem]

I guess that explains the ending...

[urban steppe]

which aligns with the fact that there were multiple 'worlds' as different levels in HN2 at one point

[untold grotto]

theyre not

[open plaza]

Then whats the point of discussing them

[untold grotto]

discussing older storylines

scrapped storylines

[urban steppe]

It still has significance because it's how Nikita wanted to portray the guest

[open plaza]

Considering HN2 FG, the guest seems to be an entity and not a person

[oblique parcel]

Well he is a person somehow so

[chrome solstice]

Old visions of how things could have worked out is an interesting topic imo

[urban steppe]

And it might inspire what he ends up being in HN3

[untold grotto]

sadly hes franklin

for sure

[civic totem]

So that's what "Guest World" was about...

[urban steppe]

A big chunk of HN3's story and gameplay mechanics is based around what Nikita wanted for HN2

[chrome solstice]

We love hn story 👏

[open plaza]

I dont

It's a mess since AS and HN2

[untold grotto]

*because of AS

[chrome solstice]

Yeah agreed, although hn2 doesn't really tell a story

[urban steppe]

HN2 tells a story about how Quentin got hit on the head 3 times

[untold grotto]

hn2's story's most part scrapped because of AS

[chrome solstice]

Beautiful 👌

[urban steppe]

It doesn't really have any significance because it doesn't tell us anything about what happened to Ted or Aaron

it just basically repeats what we know from HN1/HS

[civic totem]

Tbh... I don't think the Guest in HN3 will be symbolic since apparently in the files his statue is called "god statue" or smth

[chrome solstice]

And adds a cult, for whatever reason

[urban steppe]

Because the AS writers wrote the new story

[untold grotto]

i mean cult was a thing way before new AS era

aaron trilogy

[urban steppe]

Not in HN2 as far as we know

That was added pretty late into development when the writers got switched

[civic totem]

So I think he'll be more like what he was supposed to be in the HN2 story expansion and what he is in the AS... a creature that is worshipped by a cult...

And the town festival in the prototype seems like a cult thing to me

So... is someone going to say anything?

[chrome solstice]

I still think the guest takes things "you don't deserve". I actually think that's still a thing.

[civic totem]

Why?

[chrome solstice]

There is sort of actual evidence in the hn2 forest. The clip of the news paper Implying that quentins sister (beatrix) went missing years ago. Quentins past still haunting him, in a weird sort forest area, which might I add, is always set at night time for some reason. And yes I know this was all supposed to be patch 10 stuff, but it has to be Canon in some way.

[queen sapphire]

It would be cool to add a train rushing through the Raven Brooks.

[civic totem]

I see

[opaque cosmos]

I like that idea

Trains are cool

[lunar trail]

There is train tracks in RB canonically so a train wouldnt be out of place

It's a good idea

[urban steppe]

HG background train sounds...

[zinc delta]

I just requested to be an RBO playtester!!!

i hope they see it and accept!!

[high brook]

erm actually its hn3 🤓 👆

[civic totem]

Nah

[bronze steppe]

bro 💀 🙏

[high brook]

who made most of the rbo alpha foliage?

was it elena? or someone else

[urban steppe]

it's stock

the only thing Elena did was make some of the textures iirc

[high brook]

why were they removed then

[urban steppe]

what was

[high brook]

the textures

[urban steppe]

the foliage is still being used

[high brook]

oh

i meant why they deleted the oak tree models

[untold grotto]

plus iris and jacobs old model

[urban steppe]

I was talking about the foliage specifically

[untold grotto]

ah i see

[urban steppe]

she did a few other things besides that (like the carpet seen in one of the prototype 2 videos)

but pretty much all of it will most likely get replaced sooner or later in development

especially that they apparently hired a character artist now

[agile kelp]

Shit outta here

[celest plank]

bro guys idk about yall

but i HATE the foliage

it looks so dry and stuff

when its spring

when snow is melting

[unborn edge]

im so sad all the wallpapers, wood planks exterior and floor plank textures are just gone now

i hope that nikita will eventually send that RBO "alpha" build because it would be a shame to see these textures go to waste

[atomic forge]

I like the design, actually

[broken galleon]

we can't be serious

[jade night]

what wood planks exterior

[unborn edge]

these

[jade night]

Oh.. when did they appear in RBO?

[unborn edge]

during the first HN3 screenshots on steam

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/981545830630711387/1361761786583449760/image.png?ex=6820e47e&is=681f92fe&hm=66a57587ff041923c23863924dc43dfe9402c8217163c38ceaec86ca8173b5f1&

[jade night]

That's not in RBO Alpha though lol

[unborn edge]

you know what i mean

the build before hn3 prototype 1

it was still a rbo build

[untold grotto]

its not a build actually

[jade night]

more of a HN3 build, well not build, a concept map.

[untold grotto]

its a test map

for promo screenshots

[unborn edge]

yeah i guess, it was already in the test map but also during the older gameplay before that map

they were here for a while now

[jade night]

wdym

[unborn edge]

the old gameplay footages from nikita

[jade night]

in RBO gameplay it's only the single house

theres no other houses

[unborn edge]

yeah the rbo gameplay house

[jade night]

it didn't use those textures though.

[unborn edge]

whatever

[sonic birch]

did we get these?

the texture?

[unborn edge]

no

[sonic birch]

ah. wheres the screenshot from

[simple dragon]

one of the wallpapers seen in rbo alpha build thing is returning in prototype 2 BTW you can see it in one of the videos

So maybe they will return

[unborn edge]

i hope so

[woven lodge]

Read the petition's description and you'll change your mind.

Obviously.

[civic totem]

"Hello Neighbor as a video game franchise has struck the hearts of many, and nobody hates it." This is a straight up lie

[woven lodge]

It gets way better from there.

[civic totem]

I can't copy and paste a specific part of the text to here or else I'll get banned... So I'll skip it

That HN book... doesn't exist

[woven lodge]

Eight paragraphs of peak.

[civic totem]

That's all I'll say

Oh man, It just gets worse!

"Across the globe, reactions have been pouring in. Across the internet, over 90 percent of recent posts express disappointment at his new design. Even casual fans have noticed. Just last week, a Twitter poll with over 300,000 votes showed that 93 percent of voters preferred the original Theodore Peterson. People are speaking up, and this is totally not fake statistics." Ok bro

So...

I finished reading it

And...

It's probably one of the worst things I've read in a while

[woven lodge]

Sign the petition or I'll write more.

[civic totem]

Do I have to put my name or email or phone number?

[woven lodge]

🤷

[storm cave]

What the hell is going on here

[woven lodge]

I'm threatening people to sign a petition to change the HN3 Neighbor design.

[storm cave]

🥸

Why

[civic totem]

Then I'm not signing (I wouldn't sign it anyway)... don't want to give my email/name/phone number to stuff like this

[tall perch]

i am not giving my full legal name email and address to make the neighbor from hello neighbor 3 hot

[slender basin]

Guys, petition websites are considered advertisements. Please avoid sending them here, especially when they ask for members' personal information.

Please keep your privacy, suggestions for the game are welcome on our server.

[woven lodge]

It's so over... 😞

[rain musk]

Um… paranormal detecting mechanics? For the people that were killed in Raven Brooks? Maybe that's one of the reasons its half abandoned?

[old cairn]

We have to give them time, literally not even the second prototype of Hello Neighbor 3 has come out and not even the neighbor has come out and remember that it is quite ugly, but it is only a concept

[woven lodge]

Yeah that's why we are giving feedback?

[stray abyss]

I have alot of hope for hn3
Like it seems they have a solid idea
The lead developer dev isn't going to end up burning out (hopefully)
And they have learned from what went wrong with hn2

[past pivot]

hopefully they learned from the previous games

[untold grotto]

well nikita never wanted to start hn2 but he started hn3 completely on his own accord

[untold grotto]

pretty sure they did

and half of team is new people btw

[celest plank]

🥀

the hhn3 neighbor is peak

[open plaza]

You're literally the only person I know of who thinks the neighbor is ugly in HN3

[untold grotto]

he is ugly because

he meant to be ugly

this is intentional

[severe merlin]

Correct ☝️

[urban steppe]

I haven't seen you give any proper feedback, all you did was make jokes about it and post that petition.

Nikita's vision of the neighbor was never meant to be handsome in any way, just a middle aged chubby guy. And considering the uncanny style of HN3 this design fits in perfectly.

[worn stone]

When hn3 is coming?

[sonic birch]

♻️

♻️ 😭

[untold grotto]

this year

[sonic birch]

My theory is that HN3 will release in the next 10 years

[worn stone]

I doesn't think we will get hn3 before gta6

[sonic birch]

I would love a new hn3 clip soon, maybe showing off more of the AI

[chrome solstice]

Seems reasonable

[cunning yacht]

after gta 6 is wild

[woven lodge]

Intentional ugly is still ugly.

[untold grotto]

no one says its not ugly

[woven lodge]

Yes but saying it's intentional as if I thought they accidentally made him ugly.

[agile kelp]

Cut ts out bro 🥀 🥀

[stray abyss]

That sounds great

[plain sierra]

gta 6 before devlog 3

[jade night]

🥀

[stray abyss]

I'm pretty sure most people are ok with how he is ugly

[daring gyro]

fire discussion in hn3 discussion today

[civic totem]

Yep

Talking about how Ted looks in HN3...

It's not

[daring gyro]

nice bait btw

[untold grotto]

its not

2/10

ragebait

[civic totem]

It's bait?

[untold grotto]

obv

[civic totem]

I know what to do now...

Hold on...

[woven lodge]

People just say ragebait whenever someone disagrees with them.

[pseudo spoke]

Me when I can't stand a character who is meant to be creepy and unsettling because I want them to be handsome and threatening instead
(I tell people to sign a petition to change the character in the new game instead of playing the previous game where the character is exactly how I want them to be like)

[daring gyro]

it's okay bro

[woven lodge]

People can be handsome and creepy.

[civic totem]

I ...... hate this conversation

Or discussion

[woven lodge]

I don't know why you people keep saying ugly people are creepy and unsettling, kind of messed up...

[civic totem]

Or Whatever

[woven lodge]

Not all bad guys have to be ugly.

[civic totem]

This is the most worthless discussion of all time bro

[urban steppe]

bait used to be believable

[woven lodge]

It's called being correct.

[daring gyro]

not holding up bro you're contradicting yourself

[urban steppe]

bait used to be believable

[civic totem]

It's worthless... it deserves to be thrown into the garbage and then burnt down

[pseudo spoke]

The fact that it has been happening for days 😭
Every time I check this chat I see "Man what if he was made hot again?"

[civic totem]

Yep..

[woven lodge]

Just goes to show how much of a problem it is.

[urban steppe]

Fun fact: they won't change the design because you don't like it

[daring gyro]

i think you missed a couple of devlogs

[woven lodge]

Ain't gonna stop me from complaining.

[urban steppe]

Everyone will just start ignoring you you'll be basically talking to a wall at that point

but suit yourself

[daring gyro]

that's my favourite part of an HNG user
when they start talking to walls

[urban steppe]

I really want to see more of the town in prototype 2

Hope we can get a bit more footage soon-ish before it releases.

[oblique parcel]

The so called hot Neighbor is kinda mid you want imo

Why the hell Should he be hot😭

[agile kelp]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1243226496504565850/1310312004929585192/image0.gif

Shut this shit up rn bro

Neighbor design isn’t changing

Just because he isn’t mmmm so handsome mmmmm so hot

[pseudo spoke]

Since we're talking about the Neighbor though, might as well say how much I like his HN3 design.
You can really see the sorrow and sadness within him. All the pain and suffering, the loss, potentially even some regret. Just this guy who lost so much and did bad things who's now left to live with it all. And it's all there in his eerie design.

[urban steppe]

You know speaking of the neighbor I'm wondering who they ended up hiring for a character artist.
I really hope we end up getting the quality level they expected.

[summer sand]

What the point of uncanny game with "hot" Neighbor?

[oblique parcel]

Im most worried About the guest design

Please don’t be tall Guy man

It would make guest feel like a super tall teenager or something

[civic totem]

PLEASE be tall guy man

[restive oxide]

He is tall guy

[untold grotto]

sadly he is tall guy

[restive oxide]

We have le rig

[urban steppe]

Even if it is, that design is probably nowhere close to final + the model is a really crude placeholder.

[untold grotto]

unless they make another bird man

[untold grotto]

exactly

[restive oxide]

Imma crash out of that happens

[civic totem]

Fake Guest...

[oblique parcel]

I hope They at least make his arms not exposed

[woven lodge]

From how ucannily hot the neighbor is.

[restive oxide]

A fake guest that's plastered on the cover of hn3?
And the server banner

[civic totem]

Idk

[oblique parcel]

I just Think its so out of character for the guest to look like that but maybe that’s the point

[restive oxide]

He looks kinda happy ngl

[oblique parcel]

Like i get the proportions but not the outfit it looks like a vandal type of clothes

[restive oxide]

The neighbor also was the same height as a 12 year old kid in hn1

And he's 6 foot now

[civic totem]

My father, Mr. Hello Neighbor tinyBuild, was hired to be the 3D character artist

[pseudo spoke]

Me too. All the designs are so good it'd be a shame if they aren't translated into 3D properly

[urban steppe]

As examples they listed characters from It Takes Two and Psychonauts 2 so if we get even close to that level of fidelity then there's potential

[oblique parcel]

While i love the artstyle direction i don’t know theres something i feel is a bit off but its problaby cause its so unfinished and placeholdery

Talking About enviornment direction

[pseudo spoke]

Them listing those examples off for characters makes me excited to see how the whole art style will look once finalized

[urban steppe]

I mean if we get this much 3D detail on a HN character model...

[daring gyro]

what's the name of this game i forgot

[urban steppe]

It Takes Two

[woven lodge]

No he wasn't?

[urban steppe]

(he was)

I really want to see how this shader will end up looking in-game with a finished character model

[oblique parcel]

Do you Think the guest will be badass in hn3? Cause that’s problaby what AS and hn2 was Trying to go for more(not saying he was but you get what i mean)

But im not sure if That’s at all where Nikita wanna take him

As the alpha guest is anything but badass lol still love him though

[high brook]

Where did this image come from

[jade night]

I don't think the guest is going to be badass, just an unnerving creepy character similar to the Neighbor.

[urban steppe]

Nikita

[oblique parcel]

As long as They don’t make him too goofy

Im fine as the hn2 alpha’s ruined the creep factor potenial imo

[high brook]

Ooooooohhh yeaaa I remember that

[daring gyro]

insane shader

[oblique parcel]

I just want hn3 to go well so badly

[jade night]

I'm pretty sure he will act similar to the HN2 fg guest.

[oblique parcel]

If the devlog 1 is anything to go by his sounds gives those vibes

And prototype 1 with how hes like a forest monster assuming hes the forest dweller

[urban steppe]

Ah yes, the moose

[civic totem]

Wdym

[urban steppe]

Literally moose sounds

[open plaza]

hn3 hype 🔥

[oblique parcel]

Guest hn2 behavior was not Even bad it was just too overpowered and predicteble imo

[open plaza]

guest was rushed in hn2 anyway

[urban steppe]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2thxtUzAtVk

[civic totem]

Lmao

[lunar trail]

okay forget crowman or cowman

mooseman

is coming

[open plaza]

:O

[jade night]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66XmOJq1ti0

[urban steppe]

my favorite HN3 character

the moose

[open plaza]

I wonder if P2 will come out in June or not

[untold grotto]

why would it be in june

[open plaza]

why wouldnt it

[untold grotto]

why not may

[open plaza]

oh wait

they're already working on P3

[grim lark]

why not || ||

[open plaza]

right

then may, yeah

[civic totem]

Well

[open plaza]

i just forgot that Nikita sent p3 ragdoll things not long ago

then yeah its in may :D

[civic totem]

P2's release date depends on how long Devlog 3 will take to finish

Since P2 is already finished

[open plaza]

i dont think it'll take that long

[untold grotto]

and it SHOULD be in may

[open plaza]

well considering devlog 2 took long enough, it might as well take the same amount of time or even longer

im about to enter my steamdb arc

[urban steppe]

devlog 2 took longer because of unfortunate circumstances

[untold grotto]

yeah

and christmas break

[open plaza]

i completely forgor about that one

[urban steppe]

although Nikita said he is very busy recently, and he writes, films and edits the devlogs so devlog 3 may have extended wait time as well

[open plaza]

obviously it would

these take long to make

(and they're done beautifully, cant complain, W Nikita)

[untold grotto]

devlog 2 was 10 weeks ago

nikita said "i wanna release a new devlog episode every 5-8 weeks"

i mean

its probably soon

[open plaza]

checks out

and nikita seems to not even hint on devlog's release date lately

[untold grotto]

well cuz

devlog 2 incident

[open plaza]

considering he only sent one gif on devlog's 2 release 5 minutes before it came out

[civic totem]

What was the devlog 2 incident?

[open plaza]

Delays because christmas break and Nikita got sick

[urban steppe]

The devlogs (and by extension the builds) also have to be released according to tB's schedule so it needs approval and additional wait before releasing even if it's done

[civic totem]

I see

[open plaza]

adrenaline rush got crazy these 5 minutes

[urban steppe]

But end of next week (or the one after that) seems plausible

[untold grotto]

he firstly said devlog 2 is on november/december than it delayed to january for reasons then it delayed to begining of february and then end of february

and because of these unexpected delays nikita started not giving any time frame

[civic totem]

I see

[open plaza]

understandable tbh

[untold grotto]

he will most likely give clues once the devlog is finished, just like in devlog 2

[civic totem]

Tbh it depends on how much time devlog 3 takes to script, film, edit, and get published

[open plaza]

This

[untold grotto]

it depends on game itself actually

[civic totem]

You're right

[urban steppe]

Well it depends on what Nikita wants to showcase in the devlog and what progress they made on said thing
But then also on how long it will take to make the devlog itself

And when tinyBuild will want to publish it

[civic totem]

Yez

[echo flicker]

Best HN fangame?

[limpid pewter]

Alternative reality

[echo flicker]

beside that

[limpid pewter]

Idk

[peak solar]

I feel like being silent this time is a good thing

so far they've been really open about development

a lot's probably being done

[mystic topaz]

Yeah

[gentle pebble]

P3 is what they are fully doing and will have new npc’s

[untold grotto]

yeah since they hired a character artist

[low gate]

https://tenor.com/view/tower-unite-catsack-dev-log-gif-16708021100028352368

Do you think devlog will be on a monday

Who's betting on that

Not me

[high brook]

meeee

[low gate]

hmm

[full cliff]

Rate my gooofy art

[jade night]

🔥

[gritty harbor]

you should draw him like HE

with his body hunched

[full cliff]

I wanted to draw it in the style of Nikita Kolesnikov's HN3 drawings, but it turned out a little worse

[celest plank]

nikita is so good at drawing

[full cliff]

Yupp

[high brook]

is that actually from he?

if so someone gotta make a model of that

[copper goblet]

Does anyone think hn3 will have nearal network ai? Like they promised for hn2?

[civic totem]

I don't think it will

[copper goblet]

So probably hn2 ai?

[civic totem]

When you say "HN2 AI", do you mean the exact same AI from HN2?

[copper goblet]

Yes

[civic totem]

I don't think they're going to reuse the exact same AI from HN2

[copper goblet]

Yeah your right...

But the ai for prototype is.... weird.

[civic totem]

It's meant to be basic since it's for a prototype

[agile kelp]

prototype btw

[copper goblet]

Ik

When do u think we get a alpha then?

[civic totem]

No idea

[untold grotto]

no

it wont

[gritty harbor]

ye

[broken galleon]

wonder why that could be 🫩✌️

[old cairn]

I hope they don't reuse the AI from HN2 because I honestly thought it was terrible when it came to chasing the player, it glitched and sometimes they didn't catch you.

And when they followed you, they would stop for a second for no reason and then chase you again, which made me feel incomplete. I hope they use better AI in HN3, maybe with the one from HN1.

[molten trout]

actual peak 🔥

[agile kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-dog-staring-at-sun-cute-dog-dog-closed-eyes-dog-staring-at-sunset-gif-10310895250239531072

[restive oxide]

It's a completely new ai

[high brook]

NO

there is no reason for it

[fringe igloo]

Late night shift

[high brook]

I am starving from the lack of hn3 stuff

[jade night]

It ain't that deep

[high brook]

How do you know

[jade night]

It ain't that important lol, it's just a game.

[restive oxide]

A very cool game

[cunning yacht]

they where stopping just to recalculate where the player is and where should the correct path would be

if they dont stop moving. it just keeps recalculaing path constantly while their still chasing you. it makes it lag to low end pc users.

who even developed the hn2 ai

[restive oxide]

A person

[cunning yacht]

makes sense

[severe merlin]

Check the last devlog, I explain our approach to AI

https://youtu.be/VqDRLbwvqPs?si=dTKjr7PnGrAyoXT9

[oblique parcel]

How well is the ai progressing rn? As your at prototype 3 stage now

So its problaby been improved a lot compared to prototype 1

[near meadow]

By any chance can we get a progress update on devlog 3?

U don’t have to if you don’t wanna thats fine

[sonic birch]

Whenever I check this channel it’s the same 3 questions asked again and again

Just read through the old messages 😭

[severe merlin]

It's progressing well, more details will be in devlog 🙂

[oblique parcel]

Yay

[storm cave]

Hi Nikita, a question about the devlog: what stage is the devlog at?

[untold grotto]

(same programmers as hn3)

[gentle pebble]

Is the Devlog going to come out before June

[high brook]

Devlog soon 🙏

[rose needle]

Man, I can't wait for the next one.

[quartz eagle]

Same

[nimble walrus]

Has someone made rating list of current HN3 tracks

[high brook]

There really isn’t that many released yet

Unless your talking abt the devlog and rbo ones

[nimble walrus]

I mean every single one that currently we have

[gentle pebble]

No person has ever made one

[untold grotto]

well we just got rbo and devlog tracks yet

bu we will get hn3 tracks in prototype 2

[nimble walrus]

Interesting. Well then there is my idea I guess for people.

[bronze steppe]

hello everyone

!!!!

[civic totem]

The people want devlog 3

The people want protototype 2

[untold grotto]

but they have to wait

[arctic pecan]

hey guys have they posted new teasers yet i have not been on discord for like a month

[civic totem]

I know

[civic totem]

Yes #hn3-discussion message

[arctic pecan]

thanks :3

[civic totem]

No problem

[zinc delta]

Will you release those cool prototypes you showed in the devlog 1.5 I’d really like to play those

[atomic forge]

Hi, Nikita! Can you tell how much of the devlog has been completed?

[broken galleon]

no

[cursive heart]

controversial opinion, but the voice actor for peterson in the WTRB pilot could probably fit theo in hn3/

[urban steppe]

I lowkey preferred that voice over the new one at least to some degree.

[mystic topaz]

same it'd match the neighbors tired state

[civic totem]

Possible reference? 🤔 👀

[arctic pecan]

hello

[civic totem]

Hi

[untold grotto]

(the hn2a1 teaser with cone head the guest - forest dweller)

hmm

[civic totem]

🤔

[high brook]

may i ask where did the first pic come from

[molten trout]

the hn2 alpha 1.5 art

steam banner

thingy

whatever its called

[earnest cape]

Very obviously on purpose

[restive oxide]

Well the current hn3 guest model is just a coned placeholder

[quasi cypress]

sn

[sonic birch]

signed radio music (from prototype 1)

i love this song from RBO in particular, i really hope they take some inspiration for HN3 music while still keeping the new atmospheric idea

[civic totem]

It's called a key art

[molten trout]

oh yeah

[untold grotto]

wrong

[high brook]

Why does the neighbors car there look horrible

Like it looks like it’s just using a solid metal texture

[civic totem]

Alpha, you know

[high brook]

But in alpha 1.5 the actual model was fully textured

So why would they use that one?

[civic totem]

Well then it's prob because the person who made the key art was being goofy ahh hell

[high brook]

I made a model like that one time (I was being lazy)

[echo flicker]

Does anyone know who Jacky is

[slender basin]

It's me

[echo flicker]

Oh hi

[slender basin]

Hey 🙂

[echo flicker]

Can i get my media permissions back. I got them removed because i tried to post a really low res pic, bot counted it as a spam and removed it. I tried to send it again and the bot took my media permissions.

[slender basin]

Let's discuss this on DMs, I'll check what happened.

[echo flicker]

k

[restive oxide]

Why?

[high brook]

The cone could be more symbolic or something

[restive oxide]

Its clearly a coned placeholder

The guest won't look like that

[high brook]

We don’t even knoww what he gonna look like tho

[restive oxide]

Couh

Cough

Yes we do

Tall guy

We have his rig and it has a beak

99.9% sure

[civic totem]

What do you mean when you say it is "coned placeholder"?

[echo flicker]

potato knishes

[untold grotto]

guest wont look like forest dweller thats true

[bronze steppe]

hello everyone!!!

[untold grotto]

but placeholder guest literally have nothing to do with coned

[untold grotto]

(nah)

[celest plank]

what if the guest wont even turn out to be tall after all

i mean ahah yeah

[spiral atlas]

man i need devlog 3

it could be any day now

[low gate]

I want a hello server tag

I could hello nebars in my name

[spiral atlas]

devlog 3 in one minute real!!!

trust yall

(im joking btw)

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-spider-man-web-of-shadows-depressed-sad-gif-16524395

[untold grotto]

all devlogs released at 16:00 (UTC) so yk

[civic totem]

Yep...

[echo flicker]

Ngl nothing hit as hard as the Hello Guest alpha 1 artstyle.

[nimble walrus]

Doesn't that use HN1 style too?

Like flashlight, crowbar and other things

[echo flicker]

no

[echo flicker]

I meant Artstyle

[high brook]

The guest but he’s 3 feet tall

[celest plank]

peak artstyle

best one imo

[nimble walrus]

Oh! Alpha 1!!! Sry I was mistaken with older version of Hello Guest

[safe needle]

hello

Guys, when will the new version of the game be released?

[civic totem]

We don't know

[high brook]

do we have those without the filter?

[sonic birch]

no sadly

[high brook]

maybe using an equalizer could work

[sonic birch]

a what

[cunning yacht]

dw. i think i can help it.
ill use the equalizer

[cunning yacht]

equalizer turned out to be working. yet im bad at adjusting it

[cunning yacht]

made a remake

[tender stump]

i think that hat is faster

or meant to be faster

[echo flicker]

Maybe even better then HN 1 alpha 1.

[high brook]

is there other ones?

or just this one

[jade night]

it's a recreation I did, so no.

[jade night]

yeah after a second listen I noticed that

[quick crow]

IF the prototype 2 is actually like the little snipets from dev log 3..then idk

[high brook]

you should make the other ones

[blissful river]

Huh?

This is prototype 2.

I think it looks quite good tbh

[high brook]

i wonder what that colored thing is above his head?

🤔

[gritty harbor]

relationship meter?

like hostile to friendly

and neutral in the middle?

idk

[restive oxide]

Hope we can actually befriend them now

[high brook]

that sounds fun to mess around with

i hope prototype 2 comes out soon

[dry haven]

This is completely absurd, but will HN3 have a version for phones?

[high brook]

Vro the game ain’t even out yet 😭😭😭

[gentle pebble]

HN and HN2 had telephones since its in the 90s and HN3 had pay phones so telephones might be in HN3

[molten trout]

my guy he meant will the game get a mobile version 😭

[gentle pebble]

Ah okay

[gentle pebble]

Hopefully

[sonic birch]

HN3 feels like a game that should be ported to mobile, i hope it happens after the full game releases

[cunning yacht]

If TinyBuild will make a lot of money on Hello Neighbor 3, there will probably be a version for phones too

[stone elk]

Yeah but I think the realistic artstyle and UE5 might make it hard to run on a mobile device and I dont really think the playstyle of the game fits to well with the mobile audiance.

Atleast it shouldn't be a priority

[high brook]

i already said this a while ago but it would be cool if there was a hello guest remake with the hn3 artstyle

[gentle pebble]

They also did for HN2

I think so

[high brook]

i think only android

[gentle pebble]

No I mean they did make a lot of money for HN2

[gentle pebble]

It’s not on android

[gentle pebble]

All the RE remakes are on iPhone and run well so HN3 would not have a issue

[ancient marten]

bro where is p2

[high brook]

uhh its not out yet broooo

just waiitt plsss

[ancient marten]

iikkk ive been wating 3months

ikk but its not an alpha or a beta its a prot

proto

[high brook]

they wanna release it with a devlog

just wait for devlog 3

[ancient marten]

kk

[cunning yacht]

Let's be patient or it will end up like HN2. Even if prototype 2 will release in a month, we shouldn't complain.

[cunning yacht]

TinyBuild made a lot more money on HN than HN2. Plus HN wasn't as big of a failure as HN2 (as some people think)

[gentle pebble]

Yes

[untold grotto]

they could not earn any income from hn2

[open plaza]

im honestly always hyped more for devlogs than for prototypes

[frosty gyro]

Same

[stone elk]

Its kinda crazy how diffrent the game ended up compared to what was shown by tinybuild

Didnt they say the "neighbors" will walk around town for hn2

[cunning yacht]

Exactly, there was no open world, no neural networks, and no Guest (in the form it was supposed to be)

[dry haven]

I think about the future🙂

[cunning yacht]

It's too early to talk about anything

[dry haven]

I just thinking about it because it would be cool to play HN3 on a phone. Also, there's a bigger market and more money))))

[cunning yacht]

Let's hope they do it

[high brook]

Hey Nikita, I have a question: will prototype 2 have limited access like p1? Like the with the steam keys?

[severe merlin]

Not sure yet. Probably will be available for everyone

[high brook]

Okay 👍

[cunning yacht]

Will Prototype 3 be the last prototype? Or are they going to be more Prototypes

[cunning yacht]

Nice btw Hi Nikita, how are you doing?

RBO isn't HN3

[civic totem]

Yeah you can't get Proto 1 anymore

Playtests for it have closed

[cunning yacht]

there was prototype witch can't be downloaded but there will be another prototype2 on the horizon soon!

If u have HN3 p.1 u can still play

by opening .exe

no problem my friend 😃

Neighbor won't be in prototype 2

only Jacob, Signed, Iris, and idk

yes

[civic totem]

Nikita said that prototype 3 will have more characters
So maybe Ted will be in prototype 3

[cunning yacht]

Yay

[restive oxide]

Nah, most likely just the other vandals
But maybe

[untold grotto]

he said "unlikely" to ted in p3

[civic totem]

Ah

Didnt see that

Thx for telling me

[untold grotto]

*the events of hn3

and probably answer is yes

[eternal moon]

@fathom wadi noob

[fathom wadi]

😡😡

[untold grotto]

he will most likely not be an NPC with AI

after all, he is the "missing" person

[cunning yacht]

that sounds good. because you can play that game anywhere you go irl. like playing on your school

[cunning yacht]

noob != bad
noob = newbie

ah yes. you can see it on prototype 2

we saw jacob and signed on prototype 3 too

[daring gyro]

not in proto 2

[cunning yacht]

wait really?

[civic totem]

Nikita said Prototype 3 will have more characters

[cunning yacht]

well. thats cool

[narrow gust]

What will Devlog 3 be about?

[mystic topaz]

it will have the butterfly effect mechanic

meaning that we can change the story based on what we do either ending it in a positive or a negative outcome

[cunning yacht]

yah. the game doesn't even force you to make their own decision for you
but you make your own decision.

[narrow gust]

Can't wait to play this when it releases

[untold grotto]

we dont know yet

[narrow gust]

Then it will be a surprise!

[cunning yacht]

hiding in the box in p2 will be cool.

[restive oxide]

yes

[earnest cape]

Hey chat.

[cerulean prawn]

hey

[earnest cape]

Haven’t talked in here in a while, I mean like genuinely talk.

[cerulean prawn]

same

[earnest cape]

I hope that Prototype 2 will still carry the limited time access thing Prototype 1 had, it’s good and keeps a limited amount of people playing early builds and with getting feedback.

Hopefully they keep updating the Playtest each time with the new builds.

[oblique parcel]

It problaby wont

[earnest cape]

IMO it should be.

[narrow gust]

I hope Devlog 3 is this month or early to mid next month

[civic totem]

I feel like devlog 3 will be this month

[zinc delta]

we need to make this an emoji in this server:

[bronze steppe]

i think it will be for the next month

[narrow gust]

will prototype 2 be a time limited playtest or a permanently accessible build?

[civic totem]

We don't know

[frozen mauve]

hey any more info on PT2 its been a while since i came here

[frosty gyro]

Do you guys think that crafting (we know that there is no plans for crafting to be in the game) be a good idea for hn3 if implemented somewhat like subnautica and could also be used to gain friendship
i.e: you can destroy a tree with a chainsaw or any other tool and get the paper from the tree making it into paper cups you can grab fruits off of fruit trees to make apple juice cups and offer it to different npc's to either increase friendship or if they dont like that juice it could decrease friendship

[narrow gust]

It would be a bit overly complicated but would also fit the sandbox feel of the game.

[high brook]

The best thing crafting could be for is crafting tools

That’s really it

[narrow gust]

It would be cool if Iris was able to defend herself but couldn't break or fix stuff, Vandals can break but not fix stuff and Jacob is a coward but can fix stuff.

[untold grotto]

Jay said "will follow the same path as the first prototype"

but they may change their minds

[narrow gust]

Are the prototypes called prototypes but are actually alphas?

[frosty gyro]

they are prototypes not alphas

[narrow gust]

What are the chances that Guest's new design is in devlog 3?

[untold grotto]

unlikely

since nikita emphasized "future devlogS" many times

not future devlog

[narrow gust]

We basically already know what it looks like anyway.

[untold grotto]

nah

its a placeholder model

the concept art will be look better

design will be same but yk

and they hired a character artist

they will update all of models

[cunning yacht]

uhh

[narrow gust]

New Ted design looks like early HN1 concept art just with different clothes.

[cunning yacht]

New models will be fire 🔥

[narrow gust]

Yup

When prototype 2 releases Jacob will have a hard life ( cause of that one ragdoll leak ).

[cunning yacht]

yeah

can't wait to throw a box at him

[narrow gust]

Proto 2 looks like a finished game ( except for a few models ).

[cunning yacht]

yup

I really like they add windows that can be opened

[narrow gust]

Yeah, even though there's no vaulting through them.

[cunning yacht]

yeah

[restive oxide]

I hope they have it so you can close the windows as well
Pointless but a nice feature
And maybe some NPCs could put boards on the windows so no one breaks in?

[narrow gust]

Proto 2 seems to have loads of quality of life changes like that.

Proto 1 didn't even have windows ( I think ).

[cunning yacht]

yeah

no windows in proto 1

[narrow gust]

Probably unintentional but in Devlog 2 it looks like there is signed walking behind a fence in the background near the beginning of the vid.

[high brook]

Boarding up windows? Kinda sounds like what they tried to do with hn2

[narrow gust]

Yeah but it would add an extra layer to the already almost infinite amount of strategies.

( Slightly exaggerated but you get what I mean ).

[narrow gust]

Will NPC's be able to place traps?

Iris's hair glows in proto 1 but not in proto 2 it seems.

Why do I get the feeling that this will be the best game I ever play? ( seriously )
