[native pendant]

No.

Nikita uses Ibis paint i think drawing tablet

[native pendant]

Yes

[past cedar]

i thought he used krita or photoshop

i didnt expect him to use ibis paint

[native pendant]

Or idk,but i think he uses drawing tablet

or laptop

[urban steppe]

he uses procreate

[narrow gust]

Wasn't HN2 AI trailer shown in Tinybuild connect?

[native pendant]

How do you know so much about him

[urban steppe]

because whenever he posts his artwork on social media he usually tags it with procreate

[civic totem]

It was shown in the HN Showcase livestream

[molten vine]

Im excited for hn3

[urban steppe]

The first tinyBuild connect was different, just read the announcement for this one. And no, AI trailer wasn't there.

[narrow gust]

Ok

[mystic topaz]

I can't believe it's been a long while since we got a tinybuild connect I can't wait for the reveal of games as well as hello neighbor 3

I think the tinybuild connect was pretty cool most of the games showcased other than hello neighbor looked pretty fun

[sonic birch]

NOOO

[restive oxide]

NOOO

Talking imbir head 💔

[whole obsidian]

this may mean that there will be no dialogue breaks in between

[urban steppe]

The whole segment is 30 minutes long with multiple game trailers, gameplay, announcements etc.

[narrow gust]

There isn't a marketable character for it anyway ( not a requirement but still )

[urban steppe]

There would be no time to include the HN3 devlog in there.

[native pendant]

What is that

[restive oxide]

devlog will probably be released right after the connect

[whole obsidian]

but like

what can they offer us?

as a trailer

[urban steppe]

prototype 2 gameplay

[narrow gust]

Spoiler gameplay?

[celest plank]

i cant stop staring at this new logo

[urban steppe]

And also

Some of the presented titles will be available via playtests and demos after the showcase.
It's more than likely they will release the prototype after the connect

[agile kelp]

Adam 💔

they dissing Adam brah 🥀

https://tenor.com/view/disintegrating-funny-thanos-gif-22399978

[narrow gust]

No more " bro " talk for you

[weary epoch]

grandeturisto, how about filming the interview, if you're interested, then write it down, for some reason I'm sure the fans are definitely interested)

[agile kelp]

💩

[crystal hare]

Ig i know which fans are "definitely interested" :)

[near meadow]

WAIT

Nikita said

On a special day

He would reveal the guest design

[narrow gust]

Surprised no one has Made fan model of new neighbor

[near meadow]

MAY 27th would be a special day RIGHT?!

[atomic forge]

Probably, no.

[whole obsidian]

if its a trailer

yez

[civic totem]

I'm kind of glad that they're not using wayron croobian anymore in HN3

[daring gyro]

I saw like 4 people but ok

[civic totem]

Using normal english makes it easier for most people to understand what the text in the game says

[blazing plume]

Me too hahahah

[cunning yacht]

His name is Henry

[narrow gust]

Can't find any were are they?

[daring gyro]

Here and not here

[narrow gust]

Could you show me?

[narrow gust]

Will guest/forest dweller roam map in proto 2?

[restive oxide]

wha

the left one is the best character ever
the right one is the worst

[lavish ravine]

Correct

[high brook]

is prototype 2 gonna have the new logo? just wondering

[narrow gust]

Probably

[modest island]

you could not have picked 2 faces more unalike from each other

[restive oxide]

congratulations
the thing makes 0 sense now because there is only one image

[lavish ravine]

Shit

[bright rain]

Hello, Hello Neighbor 3 chat! I have returned!

[grim lark]

The logo looks awesome, but where’s the butterfly and rabbit?

[restive oxide]

Hello, Neighbour!

[restive oxide]

On the side and bottom

They are colored black

[grim lark]

Oh its barely noticieable

[mortal dove]

new logo?

I kinda miss the more subtle 3

[civic totem]

I think it's better to have the actual 3

[gritty harbor]

i agree. looks better overall imo. initially i didnt see the rabbit and butterfly which i thought was bad but then i saw they were just more subtle. i like it a lot. all 3 symbols are symbols for reincarnation/eternity btw

3 symbols, 3 games, 3 people, so many 3s

plays into the whole changing actions between short playthroughs idea

[civic totem]

Yep

[narrow gust]

Best logo in franchise

[restive oxide]

Frr

[ionic ocean]

Still here. I just work freelance. I'm not full time anymore. A talking head is more fitting for a CM or Alex.

[oblique parcel]

Hi!

[ionic ocean]

Hey Guestyyy

[restive oxide]

Greetings chat

[gritty harbor]

rip talking imbir 2021-2022

idk what the years were

i guessed

[ionic ocean]

Fun fact, the talking Imbir was a producer's call at the last minute before launching the video. It was an experiment at the time.

[oblique parcel]

I just realized rip imbir in general 🥀

Cause I don’t think they’re alive in hn3

[gritty harbor]

wdym shes in hn2

[gritty harbor]

by that logic rip quentin

[ionic ocean]

aww bummer. Imbir was cool

[jade night]

So, would it have just been your voice over without imbir?

[gritty harbor]

hes not in hn3 so hes ded

[ionic ocean]

Yes, the original video would've been just the voiceover without Imbir

I'm glad we went with Imbir though. It made way for a lot of memes and funny moments afterwards

[oblique parcel]

Yeah altough I did prefer when they were a free roaming cat though or like roaming around the open world

[gritty harbor]

i agree lolz

[jade night]

Huh, neat, it wouldn't have had that charm without imbir so i'm glad it was added right before the video was posted!

[oblique parcel]

Im just happy guest will be in hn3

[ionic ocean]

me too

[gritty harbor]

i hope its not tall guy just bc guest in a hoodie would be a downgrade

also guest with skin is just... weird

[jade night]

(it is for the placeholder)

[gritty harbor]

to me

[gritty harbor]

i thought coned was pl

[jade night]

Well, since hello neighbor 3 is more "grounded" it makes sense, i'm pretty sure Randomuser gave a good in depth theory on the placeholder design.

[oblique parcel]

Maybe the wrong channel to ask but you liked patch 9 right?

[gritty harbor]

oh didnt see that

[oblique parcel]

I think guest was really cool in it albit maybe a bit too aggressive at times

[jade night]

For prototype 1, prototype 2 is a more beefy and detailed version of prototype 1, but i'm not saying the guest model will change in prototype 2, who knows tbh.

[gritty harbor]

ye

[urban steppe]

I would assume it stays with the placeholder person model for now

[gritty harbor]

proto 1 was the bones, proto 2 is the meat

[ionic ocean]

pinged you in neighbor chat

[urban steppe]

As Nikita wants to reveal the guest design over a few devlogs

[limpid pewter]

7 more days till prototype 2 maybe

[gritty harbor]

i think he was saying it would be a diff pl but still pl nonetheless

like tall guy instead of coned pl

but not official guest design

just "forest dweller"

[urban steppe]

Not really much point in switching one placeholder to another placeholder

[gritty harbor]

proto 2 supposed to be more detailed so idk maybe

[whole obsidian]

i would say

forest dweller - placeholder of guests ai
tall guy - placeholder of guests design

[gritty harbor]

so we still have no idea what guest will look like

[whole obsidian]

we have actually

[gritty harbor]

ik abt the bones

[whole obsidian]

it will be like tall guy but you know

[gritty harbor]

i dont like the sweatshirt on im tho

looks wrong

[urban steppe]

A placeholder model with most likely an unfinished design is not representative of how he will look like anyway

[whole obsidian]

we have a model that was made inexperienced without a character artist

[gritty harbor]

mm fair

[jade night]

Guys I have a theory.

🔥

[gritty harbor]

OMG GUYS HES RIGHT

[urban steppe]

this is the guest's secret brother

secret guest

[gritty harbor]

lolz

[gritty harbor]

new sn update

new neighbor class

hello brother

[whole obsidian]

can't wait to play prototype 2 on May 27th

[jade night]

The top section of that is the beak, and the reason why the beak is looking upwards in that one promo is so it can see because the face would be on the underside of the beak

trust

[gritty harbor]

yeah

makes sense

[gritty harbor]

honestly could be relatively close lolz

[high brook]

like it mimics stuff?

[gritty harbor]

hes joking

i think

[jade night]

Like, what if Jacob make some sort of guest monument in his house? the entire town seems to like doing that 🤔

[gritty harbor]

jacob is the guest.

[jade night]

no

[gritty harbor]

plot twist everyone is guest

[jade night]

Everyone is a guest to their own homes

[gritty harbor]

plot twist two everyone is neighbor

[gritty harbor]

thats deep bro...

[urban steppe]

I do want to know why Jacob has... that.... in his house

[gritty harbor]

:)

[high brook]

hes lonely obv (so hes also schizo)

[gritty harbor]

my life story

/j

[ionic ocean]

Is it a game theory?

[blissful river]

The peak man himself!

[ionic ocean]

Matt Pat was one of my inspirations for getting into YouTube back in 2016

[blissful river]

That’s so cool. Matt Pat is a great dude. You are too!

[ionic ocean]

You're too kind. 🙇‍♂️ Thank you.

[desert shard]

no way Adam joined the chat

[earnest cape]

Some big stuff to see with HN3 for the tB publisher showcase:

https://youtu.be/SfUHnDQx044?si=BcAghY6GB_lSHTQo

[ionic ocean]

Hopefully another demo announcement 🤞

[near meadow]

Nikita said he will reveal the guest at a special time special day

This is it

Tiny build connect technically will be a special day

He didn’t say specifically if he would reveal it in devlog 3 or devlog 4 or 5

[fast mason]

sup its been a bit Adam

ive not been too active here lol

[ionic ocean]

Hey hey. 👋 Yeah I’ve been busy too. Wrapped up PAX, then got sick. Now I’ve recovered.

[fast mason]

i remember talking to you more back in 2022-2023

hows it been

[cunning yacht]

oh has the game gotten a new build since the first one?

[molten trout]

no

[cunning yacht]

did someone just saw hn3 proto 2 on the announcement for a short time

[gleaming sierra]

is it chat where Nikita posting news about hn3? no?

how

[blazing plume]

Yes and this ✨

[narrow gust]

I think signed just cut my power

[earnest cape]

Love the new text and don’t for the logo, prefer it much more than just scribble font.

[gleaming sierra]

tnx

[magic flume]

Hey Nikita just curious if the new prototype will have enhanced graphics or the same as prototype 1

[urban steppe]

Just look at the footage

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/997623695210188900/1374429794183417876/hn3_new_footages.mp4?ex=682eadbe&is=682d5c3e&hm=7c5fda4b472bc94f4a8ce92b28dfe02895caf1daef4a574cbbda887892cd8ab0&

It has improved art assets over prototype 1

[frosty summit]

thanks nikita

[oblique parcel]

I do wonder if the artstyle direction will go through some changes overtime as Nikita said it would stay ROUGHLY the same

But maybe not exactly the same

[frosty summit]

but no wayron croobian

sad

[urban steppe]

good.

[frosty summit]

yea

since hn3 is planning to be a very complex game

im glad they removed wayroon croobian

[urban steppe]

The game's look will change but the art direction will stay just about the same.

Once they actually get rid of placeholder assets is when we'll start getting the feel for the style.

These textures look very good, if that's the art direction they're going for I'm happy with it

[oblique parcel]

Same it sorta reminds me of hn2 artstyle but also not at all

Idk

[urban steppe]

Well, idk, these might still just be placeholder textures they reused from elsewhere

We'll see

[cunning yacht]

that character staring menacingly into your soul

it has eyes and mouth and nose.
maybe its just for scaring
or just smelling stuff

I saw a Prototype 3 gameplay teaser, which means they're working on Prototype 3, so Prototype 2 must be finished. The next thing they're going to do is make Devlog 3.
When they finish working on that, they might release Prototype 2 at the same time as Devlog 3 (same as they did with Devlog 2 and Prototype 1).
In Devlog 3, they might introduce new mechanics and other features.
(I'm just trying to think what they'll do next.)

They must be introducing the butterfly effect in Prototype 3, which is what they're working on right now.
I heard Nikita say that Prototype 3 will have the butterfly effect.

But it's just a theory.
So I have high hopes for it.

[magic flume]

read up, it's alot but it's confirmed we will be getting Prototype 2 with devlog 3 shortly after the Big show thing on the 27th

[quartz eagle]

What about devlog 2.5?

[urban steppe]

That was not confirmed in any way.

HN3 is in the connect however and most likely we'll be getting Prototype 2 along with it.

[open plaza]

[quartz eagle]

We are probably getting hn3 proto 2 may 27 because the live stream is gonna have some demo

[molten vine]

It looks awesome

I’m really excited for prototype 2

[chrome solstice]

Looks more like the Cartoonish Hello Neighbor too

[near meadow]

That punching bag

With the smile

Looks so oddly familiar

Like i’ve seen it somewhere

Nikita knows how to get that feeling from objects thats crazy

[magic flume]

practically what i said

[urban steppe]

Well no, you said that it's confirmed that we'll get the prototype and devlog right after which it isn't.

For all we know, the devlog might be released later than the connect.

[magic flume]

prototype 2 will be released during the demo section of the release and the devlog will most likely be accompanying it

[urban steppe]

And it might be the case considering that the connect is meant to be purely game footage judging by the description.

Connect 2025 will provide a no-fluff, no-talking-heads look at tinyBuild's upcoming games in under 30 minutes.

[magic flume]

did you watch the video or read any of the announcements?

[urban steppe]

Did you?

[magic flume]

inyBuild Connect is coming back!

🎮 Game reveals
🗞️ Big news on Hello Neighbor 3, Kingmakers, FEROCIOUS, & more
🖱️ Demos
🗣️❌ No talking heads

[urban steppe]

Yes, but that doesn't have to mean the devlog is in it, they can release prototype and trailer/footage separately.

Or share a date.

News doesn't mean devlog right away.

And I doubt they would take up about half of the connect with a HN3 devlog since it's meant to be under 30 minutes.

[magic flume]

^ there is no way he would reference this

i don't mean in the connect

i mean afterwards

[urban steppe]

Well still, they can release the prototype with the connect and put a devlog up sometime after (few days, or week, or whatever).
Nikita did also say that the devlogs aren't just to show the build, they are meant to look at content they're working on and future content as well.

So I supppose if there's good progress on prototype 3 then a devlog will be in orer.

[magic flume]

that's what i meant, sorry for the confusion XD

[urban steppe]

Ah, alright then.

[celest plank]

the game wont look like the prototypes at all

[urban steppe]

Why thank you wise person, I'm talking about the art direction.

[celest plank]

neither the art

at least its gonna be really different

its all placeholders rn

[urban steppe]

You don't understand what art direction means.

[celest plank]

i do

[urban steppe]

Well, Nikita already said that the art direction will stay roughly the same.

[celest plank]

ok

[queen sapphire]

this logo is definitely better, but you can't see the rabbit and the butterfly very well. And in my opinion the letters are kind of too plain.

[civic totem]

I can't wait to hug this character in Prototype 2

[lavish ravine]

I think it could be a hiding place or an alarm like those in rbo

[granite wren]

I have a stupid question will prototype 2 be released before or after tinybuild Connect?

[lavish ravine]

It could be a week later or after the live broadcast ends.

[whole obsidian]

what

[whole obsidian]

Some of the presented titles will be available via playtests and demos after the showcase.

so probably after the showcase

[open plaza]

so is devlog 3 still a thing or not?

or will devlog 3 be in this connect thing

[ionic spear]

i hope

[whole obsidian]

devlog 3 is a thing

but i think devlog 3 will not be in connect

no "talking"

[civic totem]

What to expect:
🎮 Game reveals
🗞️ Big news on Hello Neighbor 3, Kingmakers, FEROCIOUS, & more
🖱️ Demos
🗣️❌ No talking heads

"No talking heads" yeah devlog 3 won't be there

[oblique parcel]

They’re refering to stuff like imbir head

Not that there won’t be any talking at all

[whole obsidian]

they cant put devlog under 30 minutes though

[oblique parcel]

Fair

[agile kelp]

hn2 devlog diss

[stone elk]

Maybe devlog will be released along with the connect and they will show the game then ask anyone interested to check out the devlog and prototype after the connect

[whole obsidian]

that doesn't make any sense

[stone elk]

Yeah it do make sense

I made up my mind already

[whole obsidian]

publishing 2 videos at the same time will hurt the algorithm

[stone elk]

Nooo not the algorith😨

Lowkey they dont care

[whole obsidian]

yep they care

[stone elk]

Alr they will ask anyone interested to check out devlog 1 and 2 and then 3 will come out next day, Sounds good🤗

[civic totem]

"publishing 2 videos at the same time will hurt the algorithm" Based alert??

They literally publish several trailers to their youtube channel after the connects lol

[whole obsidian]

not at the same time lol

[civic totem]

Personally, I think the devlog will be released after the connect

[whole obsidian]

then whats the point of showcasing hn3 in connect

[civic totem]

Wdym

[whole obsidian]

what is the point of releasing a trailer for hn3 and then releasing a devlog?

[stone elk]

to show it to a larger audiance then the people who are already big fans watching the devlogs

[civic totem]

I don't think it's going to be right after the connect though

[stone elk]

and also to get us to see the other tinybuid published games

[whole obsidian]

"what is the point of releasing a trailer for hn3 in connect and then releasing a devlog?"

[stone elk]

devlog is not the same as a trailer

vary diffrent

[whole obsidian]

i know

in the connect there gonna be a trailer

[urban steppe]

Why would they be referring to a random obscure thing they did a few years back and never again

And that wasn't in a connect, just the HN2 devlogs

a no-fluff, no-talking-heads look at tinyBuild's upcoming games
is the full description, they're most likely reffering to the fact that there won't be any interruptions or segments, just pure game trailers and gameplay footage

[whole obsidian]

and so that means

devlog 3 isnt on connect

[urban steppe]

It's kind of what they did last year, though that had a dev commentary in it.

[whole obsidian]

there will be an gameplay trailer about hn3

i guess

and you know, we still haven't seen a trailer for Hello Neighbor 3

[urban steppe]

Nikita said that for the time being they won't be making any trailers, just devlogs.

[stone elk]

it dosent make sense to make a trailer in prototype builds

earliest an announcement trailer for like an alpha 1

[cunning yacht]

I totally agree. Many people here forget at what stage (just to be clear, it happens to me too) this game is. They might as well say at this point that HN3 is not in Raven Brooks but in Amusement Park

[daring gyro]

this was the biggest error hn1 and hn2 made

[urban steppe]

Well, with HN2 it was slightly different as Nikita didn't have plans to change the game as much as it did, but things happened, and yeah. (Although the AI trailer contained a lot of promises that were basically only concepts at that point so that's kind of on them)

With HN1 though, it was really mostly tinyBuild's fault, they advertised the game's old builds knowing well that the game is at a much later stage in development already and doesn't look like that anymore.

They announced the game with the prototype trailer when alpha 2 was already pretty much done.

But yeah, it's good that they're not just pumping out pretty trailers for the game, and showcasing step by step how they're developing it and how it looks like.

And it wasn't really just the trailers, they could've just been more open and honest about removing certain features from HN2 and avoided a lot of backlash because of it, but oh well. At least with HN3 they're more open about the development and aren't making any promises that they can't fulfill.

[civic totem]

Didn't see that 😂

[high brook]

finally, proper pbr textures

[civic totem]

Uhh
No

[crystal hare]

looks like an advertisement of a sus thing

[narrow gust]

What is you favorite guest design? Options: HN2 patch 9, HN2, Hello Guest or HN3 proto 1 / forest Dweller

My favorite is HN2 patch 9

[civic totem]

This one

Not a big fan of the cloaked design since it removes the bag and the cloak covers him up a lot

[lunar trail]

never been a fan of that render, it makes the model look weird

[restive oxide]

tall guest

[civic totem]

Well it's the only one I could find
(I realized that I replied to the wrong message)

[civic totem]

We haven't even seen the full tall Guest model though

[restive oxide]

still my favorite

[high brook]

we kinda have tho

[civic totem]

We've only seen bits of it in the dark

And even then these bits are of a placeholder model

[restive oxide]

the only thing we havent really seen of him is his beak design

curious how it'll look

[civic totem]

Me too

[golden raptor]

Yo new HN3 logo??? Awesome

[bright rain]

I have a theory that might shock you all.

[golden raptor]

What is it?

[restive oxide]

telll

[bright rain]

So, we all know that TinyBuild connect is happening on May 27, where they will show off their new games, one of those games being HN3. This could lead to them showing more footage, or even a trailer for Prototype 2. This would also let them tell us when the prototype will release and hype us for Devlog 3.

[restive oxide]

they arent giving any dates for hn3 releases

[bright rain]

Just prototype 2 in general. Not the full game. When they did Alpha 1 for HN2, they made a trailer that. So it is possible they could do the same thing for HN3 prototype 2.

[golden raptor]

They said "hn3 releases" by which they mean anything relating to HN3

Including prototypes, the answer was for prototype two

[restive oxide]

sorry let me show the full message

[whole obsidian]

p2 will probably release right after connect

[restive oxide]

most likely

[bright rain]

Another theory I have is if HN3 will be a console or PC exclusive?

[restive oxide]

it will almost definitely be on consoles and pc

who knows tho

at least pc

[bright rain]

I really hope that Devlog 3 will show us the Guest design, if not Devlog 4 at least.

[narrow gust]

will players be able to permanently kill NPC's? ( not that I would )

[golden raptor]

I'd guess not unless it's story purposes

[restive oxide]

nah
pretty sure their reason for not letting the player have a car is being able to hit npcs would up the age rating
and if hitting an npc with a car isnt allowed
murdering them definitely isnt

[narrow gust]

good

this is already looking to be an actual horror game after seeing how distorted the Isaac missing poster looked so no need for deliberate acts of ingame murder from the player

Guest is human not supernatural isn't he?

[celest plank]

hes not a human

[neon ether]

I would like to contact Nikita with a suggestion. How about adding a cloud over the NPC's head with an image of what he wants at the moment? And if you bring him what he wants, his attitude towards the player will change. It will be more visible this way.

[grizzled trail]

Hello i want to tell people with my idea people must know - my idea to create gallery and 3d version of models in gallery interesting fact im from Zhytomyr uk, oh and like cake to eat player and this > guy eat this cake if he lay and all city can eating this cake and pun cakes with the blue cream mmmmm glut-tony

[urban steppe]

What the actual hell does that even mean

[grizzled trail]

em gifend hahaha i love this avatar like in matrix body and i creating new world for allll people like life in matrix you know hehe

oh shhh girlfriend like Rozanda name

[fair oriole]

what

[daring gyro]

sometimes i can feel the iq in here descend just like the temperature outside

[grizzled trail]

massive stone for good masons shhhhhhhhh 😉

[mystic topaz]

uh

[grizzled trail]

ohhh khm pffff okay fine

[storm cave]

A really good idea

[grizzled trail]

hiyo i creating new system like United Worldwide Union or UWU. Or О.С.С.Р. Обьеднаний Союз Світового Рівня чи О.С.М.М. Обьедененный Союз Мирового Масштаба 🥵

😙

[storm cave]

What the hell is wrong with you

[urban steppe]

Least insane 7 year old HN fan.

[high brook]

what?

what is going on here

[daring gyro]

if i speak dude

[urban steppe]

you spoke

[grizzled trail]

I love green keys or password green that's was beuty cute fatty body my variat in simulation like gluttony and l**t

but red better like 🥵

[storm cave]

this person suggested a good idea, then a person named girlfriend started writing nonsense

[jade night]

Huh?

[grizzled trail]

😭 that like terrib.. 😇

[civic totem]

Wth is going on

[restive oxide]

wth does that mean

[grizzled trail]

like green color it's cool lite green and graying color

[civic totem]

Ok bro

[restive oxide]

wha

[blissful river]

What the sigma is going on.

[mystic topaz]

idk

[grizzled trail]

HAHHHHAHH your funny and cool bro cool maaaaaan

[stuck lynx]

???

[neon ether]

My idea

[narrow gust]

I think vandal hit you a tad bit to hard with his crowbar

[narrow gust]

cool

[neon ether]

I would also like to see in the player's interface an icon of the NPC's relationship to the player when hovering over the NPC. You can make it in the form of a simple smiley face (let's say the same raven, if you like his vibe so much, or else), although I would take the attributes from the logo. (Butterfly is positive, rabbit is neutral, snake is aggressive).

Perhaps new ones will appear (in the form of the fear of player if he does something obviously bad). It's already possible to fantasize for a long time.

[mystic topaz]

mmm banana

[neon ether]

everyone likes bananas

[cunning yacht]

will this have story are just a sandbok game

[neon ether]

The game is a sandbox game that focuses on the relationship between the player and the NPCs, as well as between the NPCs themselves.

Parallel to the plot

[cunning yacht]

ah i whatced the devlogs but was to dumb to understand them

[high brook]

Not true

[agile kelp]

yes it is

[neon ether]

New teaser (fake)

[agile kelp]

Shot on iPhone revival 🥹

[neon ether]

GAphone*

[civic totem]

Huh..

[agile kelp]

Telling me you never seen one of those shit on iPhone memes

Like 10 years ago

That was the bomb

[civic totem]

I have

[earnest cape]

Man it looks so much better IMO

Though the butterfly doesn’t seem very noticeable or obviously a butterfly which I hope can be changed

[mystic topaz]

the hn3 logo looks like a title you'd find in a storybook in a good way

[burnt dust]

I really hope the original story stays for HN3 and we have an a.i. Nicky chillin with his dad in one of the houses.

[cunning yacht]

idk abt the timeline if they had nicky in hn3.

[high brook]

if nicky was in hn3 he would be a LOT older

[mystic topaz]

for sure yeah

oh wait we do sorta

[cunning yacht]

its confirmed?!(not confirmed if he will be in hn3 yet)

he old.
but he happy 🙂

[mystic topaz]

I would say this is our best canonical version of grandpa Nicky but it's only in the mobile version when you slide to choose your age

Although it would be a really cool surprise to see Nicky in hn3 I don't think he will be

[molten trout]

bc we all know once you hit 35 you start balding

[burnt dust]

I don’t think he would be “grandpa” age if he happened to be in HN3. The concept art of Mr. P shows he has aged quite a bit, I think, so Nicky would be quite a bit younger than him.

[high brook]

i love how its just like "unc"

[mystic topaz]

Real

but fr though them putting grandpa Nicky at 36 is something alright

[molten trout]

36 compared to the average hn fan's age is basically elderly to tb

[mystic topaz]

yup

[celest plank]

bro this makes him 10000x less scary 😭

[cunning yacht]

will this be kids game 🙂

[neon ether]

Its just idea. They can use another style of it

[digital linden]

Idk if this will be a kids game like the first and second one this part seems very dark and scary also the character designs are creepy

[molten trout]

absolutely terrifying

but seriously it will prob be a bit less of a kids game than the others

[gentle pebble]

It will be a T rated or M rated but it’s more of a M rated HN3

[urban steppe]

How would it be M rated? What in HN3 would warrant it being rated M?

[restive oxide]

T at the most

Likely the same as it is now
Which I'm fairly sure is 10+ iirc

[urban steppe]

Both HN1 and HN2 are 10+ on the ESRB
The PEGI rating for HN2 is higher than HN1 (12+ vs 7+) because it has more violence

So far there's nothing in HN3 that would warrant a rating higher than HN2's

Pretty sure Nikita himself also said once he doesn't want to make his games M rated so they'll be careful with that.

[gentle pebble]

T rated will be the only option

[urban steppe]

???

[restive oxide]

HN isn't a super childish game tbh

[gentle pebble]

I got confused

My bad

[restive oxide]

Wha
Ok

[oblique parcel]

He was too scary

[urban steppe]

[severe merlin]

What I said is - my goal is to make games for what they need to be. If it happens to be M-rated - that's fine. But also my goal is for the game to be enjoyed by as many people as possible. So if I can tweak something that wouldn't change game's original idea but lower its age rating - I'll do it.

[vital dirge]

hey Nikita, will hn3 use another ai model? in comparison with other games?

[urban steppe]

It already does

[urban steppe]

I see, thanks for explaining!

[severe merlin]

Check our last devlog, I explain ti there a little bit 🙂

[oblique parcel]

Just wanted to ask since your planning to not make hn3 really a horror game iirc hn franchise was Never supposed to be horror correct?

Not sure why it keeps being refered to as one tbh i Think that’s whats making me a bit confused

[severe merlin]

It's pinned message in WIP channel
#work-in-progress message

[oblique parcel]

Sorry if my Question came across as a bit off topic im not sure

I aplogize if it did

[urban steppe]

HN is meant to be more of a thriller rather than full on horror from what I gathered.
So still some scary-ish elements in it but not as much.

[oblique parcel]

I do hope hn3 has some very eerie moments

I know it Will be slightly eerie but i hope They really utilize it well

Like with the Neighbor especially or guest

[cunning yacht]

will there be bossfights?
i have never seen it since hn1 act 4 finale

[urban steppe]

Yeah you'll have to hit the neighbor with a crowbar and there'll be a health bar. /s

[cunning yacht]

hmm. maybe they could use healthbar for npc health but it would cost some rated maturity's

[storm cave]

hey nikita
yesterday a guy suggested an idea for hn3
could you take a look at it?

[storm cave]

here a idea

[cunning yacht]

this is cool

[vital dirge]

ok, thx

[severe merlin]

Our goal is to eliminate all the "in-world" UI as it takes you out of the atmosphere of the game.
It's an interesting idea and we also had it as a plan B, but for now or priority to make it work without any UI

[cunning yacht]

cool

[oblique parcel]

Love this idea!

[urban steppe]

Yeah, I think most people would prefer for the game to be as immersive as possible. I'm not a big fan of big UI elements myself either.

[frosty gyro]

It could also work in the settings selecting which ui element you want to remove or add granting more options for players

[cunning yacht]

just let nikita do his own thing 🙂

[urban steppe]

I think for something lilke this it would be better to just have no UI, i.e. you can learn what AIs like by observing them, watching what they buy at a store, what they eat etc.

Maybe if you have something they like they'll react to it in some way

But a giant bubble over their head feels very over the top, even if optional

[oblique parcel]

I mean i don’t see anything wrong with the idea if its done well

[urban steppe]

On the other hand, I hope we won't have another HN2 exclamation mark in the middle of your screen situation.

[sonic birch]

the attack indicator for people who can't hear?

[urban steppe]

And in general less effects like these.
The screen shaking and distortion in HN1 and HN2 are a bit nauseating if anything.

[low gate]

Instead of a normal HUD for inventory and time and whatever you may have on one would we have something like Quentin's bag and watch?

[oblique parcel]

Yes i would love that

[urban steppe]

If that is the intended purpose then it should be an optional accessibility setting

For the majority of players it's just going to be an annoyance or unnecessary.

[low gate]

I feel at some stage later down the line we would get a VR port for HN3. Would really push Nikita's idea for being immersive

[oblique parcel]

Maybe but kinda Doubt it plus its way way to early to Think About imo

[low gate]

Actually could just go to Raven Brooks real life

[low gate]

Yeah that's what i mean later down the line

Just get the game done first

[oblique parcel]

Maybe a bit random but i hope the crows from hn2 Will return in hn3 i Think it was a nice addition to have them fly away if you got close to them

[grizzled trail]

PEE PEE FIRE IN THE HOLEEEE

[oblique parcel]

Okay

[urban steppe]

As long as it's not the HN1 model again 😭

[sonic birch]

uh huh

[grizzled trail]

OLLL HOOOOOLee

[sonic birch]

glad i clicked back into chat.

[grizzled trail]

OLHOLE FIRE IN THE HOLEOL

[urban steppe]

I asked Nikita about wildlife and he said they're thinking about it but not sure if they will be able to implement it yet.

[low gate]

Add a Grizzly Bear

Save the neighbor from a bear attack

Best friends

[oblique parcel]

Genuinely it had no right to survive this long

[urban steppe]

HN2 used so many assets from HE they could've at least taken the crow model from there as well.

[low gate]

https://tenor.com/view/kaden-bear-walk-gif-15031442544519350917

[sonic birch]

i dont even remember what the HE crow was like

[urban steppe]

I would show you but they removed the render of it from the presskit

[oblique parcel]

?

[urban steppe]

yeah this

[low gate]

"Someone's preparing for a festival, Someone's late for work, Someone's lost their dog and Someone will get eaten by a bear"

Petition to add bears to HN3

[sonic birch]

thats alright

[oblique parcel]

Personally i hope theres wildlife but not too much so it takes away from the eerie abandoned feeling

[low gate]

More wildlife the more overgrown and abandoned it would seem

[oblique parcel]

Fair

[low gate]

If you find deer poking at a decrepit building it would seem pretty abandoned

"There's Iris, This is Jacob, "Vandals" The local group of outcasts.. and of course Bear"

[versed ravine]

I haven't kept up with this game much at all on account of it looking kind of eh for the meantime

Are we going to see mr peterson's model in any of the prototypes or is he just being saved for the full game?

[oblique parcel]

We don’t know yet i could see him maybe being in the alpha’s maybe

But i doubt in the prototype’s

[oblique parcel]

Want me to recap some stuff? What Nikita has Said

[versed ravine]

Sure

Although I doubt I will be playing this game anyway

[oblique parcel]

So basically its a open world sandbox Which i Think you already know

The game events happens around you but you can interact with them and change the course of events

So if you finished the game you can go back to an older save or restart and see how different choices effect your adventure

For the ai they’re using a more complex system this time a goal orianted task system

If you wanna know more About the ai you can watch devlog 2 or the ai section of it

[versed ravine]

This just

Sounds like hn2

Again

[urban steppe]

It's basically HN2 but they're actually making it

[versed ravine]

Fair enough

That's cool actually because I would have loved if hn2 was yknow

Playable

[urban steppe]

It's clear that Nikita still wants to execute a lot of the ideas that he couldn't when he quit making HN2.

[versed ravine]

I'm a little confused on the changing course of events part

Seems very vague and not overly feasible with the budget tinybuild has anymore

[urban steppe]

Basically butterfly effect.

[versed ravine]

Yeah I'm aware

But for a game like this

It seems strange

[urban steppe]

Well they're already in the process of implementing it

[versed ravine]

I guess he could just be overhyping something like "steal an item from an npc and they will do a different thing to fix their issue"

Which I hope is the case

I don't really want this to be some telltale beautiful narrative game

[urban steppe]

I mean that, but also things that will affect the game's endings as well.

[versed ravine]

I want funny neighbor harassment game

[urban steppe]

You can still harass people

[oblique parcel]

Basically Think of it like this

Npcs have certain goals which you can help or prevent them with

Thats one example

[versed ravine]

Oh so it's just the hn2 thing

[urban steppe]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/997623695210188900/1358756144902049842/clip.mov?ex=68305345&is=682f01c5&hm=c0f9f890c94cf53759eac0f135a95ae91c8c6d123a527d8f02c7b1887a6520c5&

[versed ravine]

That never actually made it anywhere

[urban steppe]

But in HN3 they can actually harass each other, and they can harass you back even

[oblique parcel]

Also if guest is the forest dweller in the prototype he Will likely roam around the shadows at day and the full town at night

[versed ravine]

I do not like how the prototypes look graphically at all

But I'm assuming this isn't even close to the target artstyle

Looks to just be stock models for now which I'm fine with

[urban steppe]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/997623695210188900/1370306725881581578/Signed_vs_Jacob-1.mp4?ex=68302896&is=682ed716&hm=69e84dc8174b320cf368db1a915774b2fe6c794d6d6ffb4296f4c6d0e841add4&

[urban steppe]

Some of it is, most of it is just placeholders

[versed ravine]

The trees look especially ugly

[urban steppe]

Art-style wise the game will remain similar to this but of course more polished

[versed ravine]

And the lighting is dreadful, but I imagine it is nowhere near completion

[urban steppe]

The trees in question are stock assets

[oblique parcel]

https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx8IPPt51lrkAzR99C2uI5eR7l7Yi9gloA?si=h_qo1nCNpthPWC4F

Heres a clip

[versed ravine]

I figured

[oblique parcel]

Nikita Said Almost everything is placeholder assets atm

[versed ravine]

Thankfully

I loved hn2's artstyle

Early and final

I hope hn3 can live up to those

[oblique parcel]

Also he Said the visuals is like the least priority atm its gameplay that’s the focus

[urban steppe]

things will end up looking a bit closer to this, which is a paintover of a placeholder house model

[versed ravine]

Fine by me

[oblique parcel]

What do you Think of the new Neighbor design

Hes Old and ugly now

[urban steppe]

This is what they're targeting for the full game when it comes to lighting

[oblique parcel]

Btw can i ask something do you Think the guest ai Will be hard for them to implement into hn3?

Because apperantly it was hard for them in hn2 for some reason or They Didnt have enough processing power

[urban steppe]

What part of it was hard for them

He attacks, he runs around, and he jumps

[vagrant notch]

The aesthetic change is a lot worse to me then the graphics.

[oblique parcel]

Alex said it would have needed a lot of resource and iteration to be added in the hn2 postmortem

To make it work in the Main map or something

[urban steppe]

He could say that basically for anything they didn't add, if he didn't provide any specifics then I really don't care

[vagrant notch]

This isn't what i would have done, but i like it.

[urban steppe]

If we were to go with the idea of the guest stalking you at night, and avoiding light, they had more than enough resources to execute it because they already made a lot of it before.

[oblique parcel]

Obv i don’t Think they would but if hypothetically They cut his stalker ai again i problaby wouldn’t Even buy hn3

Guest is such a huge part of my intrigue in the latest titles

[urban steppe]

I assume they didn't go with it because the map is cramped enough and having the guest basically at every corner would get annoying.

[vagrant notch]

I'm the opposite, i barely care about him lol

[oblique parcel]

Well hes the driving force for me for wanting to continue following the story as hes one of the Things we simply know nothing About

So without guest i wouldn’t have many reason to still be that invested in the current narrative except maybe mayak and stuff

[vagrant notch]

I would have already rebooted it with this game.

The narrative is.. questionable.

And not in the intriguing sense.

[spiral quiver]

Kind of a fun thing to do, but like it's not really what you'd want to do
Maybe as a dialog it could work by remaking the cloud into something else

[high brook]

I really need the ost from this soo baddd it sounds amazing

[urban steppe]

We'll get it when the prototype releases

[grim lark]

I love it

Its good to have a new spin on his design. Especially one that resembles Nikita’s art

[narrow gust]

That lighting looks insane

[low gate]

Can't believe he explained Bear AI

[narrow gust]

When I first saw this a few months ago it looked so good I thought it was an ingame screenshot

[high brook]

I hope the guest acts like he did in hg

[narrow gust]

Maybe more like patch 9 AI in dark areas but HG AI when your in a illuminated area at night for variety

[narrow gust]

Am I the only one who feel like forest dweller in proto 2 will give off an older presence than in proto 1? ( I am aware this makes barely any sense )

[opaque summit]

have we even seen the forest dweller in proto 2?

[narrow gust]

No but he will definitely be in it

[opaque summit]

yeah

[neon ether]

Yes. It`s just an idea. The design of the UI can be remade by style of the main game.

from my pov

[narrow gust]

Was the Guest called the Guest because of Eerie Guest, coincidence or lore purposes?

[untold grotto]

no

[narrow gust]

Why then? ( maybe because he lives in the woods not the town )

[timber pilot]

didnt it come from hello guest where he might be considered an “unwanted guest” to the park?

[narrow gust]

When this releases as a full game I'm just gonna live a normal life as you can in Raven Brooks and try befriend everyone

[restive oxide]

Fr

Can't wait to chill with the neighbor during the storms

[narrow gust]

POV: would you like some tea sir? or perhaps a bundle of banana's? It's okay, use your hands we're not fancy here

[high brook]

No chilling for you, the storm will consume you…

Beware of EVIL storms!

[restive oxide]

Noooo

[civic totem]

5 days until we get more HN3 news

[untold grotto]

5 days until we get hn3 prototype 2 😈

[civic totem]

Yep...

[open plaza]

i dont think its gonna go like that

its either gonna go like this: prototype releases & its showcased during tB connect > devlog released immediately after connect
or its not gonna be released on connect at all

[civic totem]

"Or it's not going to be released on the connect at all"

The description:

tinyBuild Connect is back! Building on the success of last year's showcase, Connect 2025 will provide a no-fluff, no-talking-heads look at tinyBuild's upcoming games in under 30 minutes. Some of the presented titles will be available via playtests and demos after the showcase.

There's a chance

[untold grotto]

theres literally no point of releasing devlog right after connect

[open plaza]

this

but "no-talking-heads" means its not during the connect either

[high brook]

devlog 3 merged with it?

[untold grotto]

pretty sure its gonna be like that: At the end or beginning of the connect, we will see either raw gameplay or a gameplay trailer for p2 and prototype 2 will be released right after showcase

[open plaza]

new steamdb arc
now I surely wouldnt miss a steam hn3 update of some sort

[blissful river]

I hope so

[untold grotto]

the hn3 homepage and hn3 playtest depot received an update of unknown content last week though

[open plaza]

Then the devlog should come right after because Prototypes and devlogs should come out at the same time

[untold grotto]

no it shouldnt

[open plaza]

didnt Nikita / someone say that? I swear I remember

[open plaza]

Huh

[untold grotto]

he said "probably right after devlog 3" emphasis on probably

[untold grotto]

not that

[open plaza]

(BTW, steamCMD shows the latest update is on may 20 for the playtest appid, for some reason)

[civic totem]

Then what is it

[open plaza]

AppID : 2800890, change number : 28393979/28393979, last change : Tue May 20 17:54:27 2025

[untold grotto]

https://steamdb.info/sub/1000406/history/

[open plaza]

oh this

[open plaza]

IDK where this came from TBH

but it updated as i was developing my tool lol

[untold grotto]

thats the package

[open plaza]

That's probably an update to a private branch

[untold grotto]

yeah

[open plaza]

Cuz those arent shown by the steam api, but are tracked

[civic totem]

Ah, I see

[untold grotto]

we can get keyart and other stuff for prototype 2 on Friday or Monday

[open plaza]

surely

I hope

for now I'm monitoring steamDB

Oh

[open plaza]

[civic totem]

Chat got purged

[open plaza]

[whole obsidian]

prototype 2 when

[civic totem]

In 5 days

[high brook]

imagine its not

[whole obsidian]

what about prototype 3

[fiery kernel]

deceive

[lapis oracle]

When is hello neighbour 3 coming out?

[whole obsidian]

my guess is late 2025

[lapis oracle]

I hope it won’t be as garbage as hello neighbour 2…

[fiery kernel]

unless it is pushed back

[lapis oracle]

I hope so

Asap

[slender basin]

Please do not confirm information in this way, only announced information should be confirmed. Please wait for tinyBuild Connect

[whole obsidian]

are we gonna play as quentin in hn3?

[slender basin]

We will play as [REDACTED]

we don't know yet. i'm just kidding

[sonic birch]

jacky tell us do we play as Ike's ghost and we haunt people

i know you know

[slender basin]

https://tenor.com/view/its-classified-tom-cruise-classified-private-secret-gif-9579704

[fiery kernel]

for a period of 30 years

[civic totem]

I was joking

[civic totem]

That's too soon lol

Game is still in prototype phase

[fast mason]

we are playing as the guest which is the plot twist

[pseudo spoke]

I'm personally still expecting late 2027 at least. Maybe even later

[fast mason]

nah thats when prototype 1.5 will release

get it right

[restive oxide]

If they do that I'll cry

[pseudo spoke]

Prototype 1 with Halloween decorations 🔥🔥 ||/j||

[fast mason]

yep we all want it then 2 and a half years later we will get a beta and game gets delayed

instead of a proto 2

[pseudo spoke]

I honestly can't imagine a HN3 build with any seasonal decorations.
Early Spring is such a specific time period which doesn't really allow for anything that would fit in.

And I honestly hope they never do that, because the last thing I'd want is another situation where a game gets stuck with the a seasonal update as its last and has eternal seasonal decorations. 🙏

[peak solar]

Seasonal decorations would only make sense depending on the time period

[fast mason]

the time period in game

right

[peak solar]

yeah

HN3 takes place at some point in the middle of Autumn/Winter I think

[tepid flicker]

It takes place in early Spring.

[peak solar]

got it, thanks

[tepid flicker]

👍🏼

[fast mason]

i do hope they keep with it yes

the storms make up for no seasons imo

[blissful river]

I love that HN3 actually has weather.

[mystic topaz]

I like the rain lead up in PT 1

[restive oxide]

Wonder when the server banner will be updated with the new HN3 logo

[slender basin]

We're not replacing just the logo so I need to wait for a new image.

[restive oxide]

oo

cant wait

[restive oxide]

I decided to make my own guest model based on what the new guest supposedly looks like

[restive oxide]

Ignore the fact I havent done the glove yet

[viral apex]

lucky dude does not have to bend down too much to tie his shoes

[restive oxide]

Fr

[burnt dust]

Creepy 👀

[restive oxide]

Ty

[ruby burrow]

IS THERE ANY HELLO NEIGHBOR 3 PROTOTYPES OUT YET?!

<@&959618149668503582>

[restive oxide]

Bro chill
There arent any prototypes currently out

You must've missed the first prototype

But proto 2 soon 🤞

[ruby burrow]

i heared soon like 4 weeks ago

[restive oxide]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bronze steppe]

You dont have to ping them bro

[ruby burrow]

😭

there a helper

[bronze steppe]

Just wait

[ruby burrow]

so i have to

they help people

[restive oxide]

How they gonna help with that

[ruby burrow]

give me the info

want a rose

[bronze steppe]

Bro just wait and be patient

[ruby burrow]

[restive oxide]

If there was anything released then you would see in announcements

[bronze steppe]

Exactly

[ruby burrow]

the glaze

[bronze steppe]

Like theres nothing to tell, just wait

Looks in the 27 theres a TB Connect you might get some news about it

Hope that helps

[violet zephyr]

Yeah no not right now, the first playtest already ended weeks ago

[whole mason]

[narrow gust]

It probably won't happen but I think he might have a cardboard beak because HN3 is supposed to be more grounded and realistic so being able to lift a giant wooden beak thats attached to your head of the ground whilst running extremely fast doesn't really fit with that

[restive oxide]

I also doubt he's human lmao

Hn3 guest is 12ft tall
Hes a big boi
He can hold a beak up

[restive oxide]

Also who ever said hn3 was realistic

[vagrant notch]

Also that's not what he looks like to begin with.

Just a weirdly populer fanon design.

I don't believe the guy in those early images is the Guest.

[restive oxide]

Tall guy is most likely the guest
We have his rig which is very tall and has a beak and matches up with the picture
He's also 12ft tall

Just no official confirmation

[vagrant notch]

In one of the images, the “beak” visibly bends slightly, like it's a neck rather then a beak.

If it wasn't for that detail i could see this being it.

[restive oxide]

Which image

[restive oxide]

Also
It's not a theory
Tall guy nonetheless does have a beak in the same upwards facing orientation whether or not he is the guest

His rig is leftover in the proto 1 files

[vagrant notch]

Rig?

[restive oxide]

Skeleton

[opaque summit]

doesnt it also have bones litterally named beak

[restive oxide]

The model's skeleton

Has a beak

[vagrant notch]

Does it say it's a beak?

[restive oxide]

The bones have names

[whole obsidian]

yes

beak_up

[restive oxide]

Yes

[vagrant notch]

Okay i'm wrong lol

[restive oxide]

Lol
For all we know they created a new character with a beak

[whole obsidian]

its guest

no need for guest v2.0

[restive oxide]

Obviously but since we have no confirmation anything is possible

[vagrant notch]

Well, we know the “cultists” wear an array of bird related things.

[restive oxide]

No cultist is 12ft tall

[vagrant notch]

But it doesn't seem human.

[rotund anvil]

Hello Guest Running on 18.3 RC with respring no audio

[restive oxide]

It's definitely the guest
Just gotta wait for guests concept art ig

[vagrant notch]

It's arms are “stretchy.”

[restive oxide]

Nothin to do with hn3

[restive oxide]

Just long

Not rly stretchy

Plus it's pretty clearly unfinished
Signed body and iris arms

[vagrant notch]

The final design probably looks nothing like this.

But i like your model.

[restive oxide]

It'll most likely be similar just more finished

[restive oxide]

Ty

[rotund anvil]

Did you watch my video

[restive oxide]

Imma change the textures slightly and add a glive

[restive oxide]

This is hn3 chat dude

Not for hg stuff

[restive oxide]

Wth

[molten trout]

id advise you to delete that 😭😭😭😭

[zinc delta]

Kk

[molten trout]

anyways

hn3 am i right

[molten trout]

glive

[warped swan]

in case I don't see ya — good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

[stoic shore]

i wonder what will be the purpose of this guy in prototype 2

[molten trout]

he probably literally just exists to exist

[cunning yacht]

he looks happy tho

[oblique parcel]

Mustache version better

Heh

[molten trout]

wha

aight

[molten trout]

anyways imagine if bro is another vandal in a crappy disguise

[jade night]

Guest statue part is my theory lol

[open plaza]

i imagine this just being a silly prop

[frosty gyro]

No lemon

[jade night]

I'd imagine you would need to explore the map to find parts of it instead of just a crate

[severe merlin]

Are you excited for tinyBuild Connect as I am, though? 🙂

[oblique parcel]

Yes!

[storm crown]

Of course

[severe merlin]

It's crazy how many HN3-related comments under Connect trailer

[oblique parcel]

Yeah Many People are really excited About it

[oblique parcel]

personally one thing that excites me so much about hn3 is that it feels sorta different you know from previous hn games

its nice to have something a bit different at times from what you are used too

[frosty gyro]

Yep

[shy elbow]

Honestly, I'm really exited about all those games in Tiny Build Connect aswell as HN3. Things like Sand, and All Will Fall seem like incredible games. Oh, and Speedrunners 2, my childhood.

[oblique parcel]

altough i have seen a few people worry hn3 wont feel like classic hello neighbor as much which is fair too

[frosty gyro]

Understandable

[oblique parcel]

i think some people are a bit afraid that feeling will get lost from the previous games

[frosty gyro]

I wonder what do they think the feeling of classic hn is for them

[ionic spear]

yesss

[ionic spear]

yes, because tinybuild's best game is hn!

[oblique parcel]

i think some is a bit sad about the lack of most cutscenes and are also a bit worried about potenial lack of connections to previous games i think thats the main things

[frosty gyro]

hm

[whole obsidian]

pretty sure there will be more in the connect premiere live chat

[shy elbow]

Agreed

[severe merlin]

It’s understandable. And feelings are indeed will be different. Everything changes in life. I also was different 10 years ago (when working on original game). And changes are good. They bring us new experiences. The “soul” is still the same, though. 🙂

[chrome solstice]

Very excited yeah

[molten trout]

its hard not to be for me

[oblique parcel]

yeah i think a lot of people fell in love with the feeling of the older games i know some of my friends who did

[chrome solstice]

Hn3 kinda reminds me of the early hn alphas. Probably just because of the almost realistic look

[oblique parcel]

yeah it sorta does

[ionic spear]

and, hn3 reminds me hn2 alphas

graphics, mechanics etc

[chrome solstice]

True, it's like a mix almost

[ionic spear]

hn3 will be best hn game

and i wonder isaac

i hope, devs added isaac and we can find him

[chrome solstice]

I hope in the full game we get some sort of notebook. Almost like the one in majora's mask. Just to keep track of what we can or could do.

[ionic spear]

i think, main character should take notes describing his feelings about the events he experienced

[cunning yacht]

let her cook 🗣️

[storm cave]

Hey nikita, i have question: will be in hn3 a crowbar mechanic from hn2 alpha’s?

[severe merlin]

What mechanic are you talking about?

[storm cave]

when we used the crowbar, an animation played

[sonic birch]

honestly i did prefer the crowbar playing an animation rather than having to click each nail individually

[cunning yacht]

i remembered they did that before.
it was like on the prototype/pre-alpha days?

[whole obsidian]

are there plans for prototype 4 or is prototype 3 the final prototype?

[burnt dust]

Very excited!!! 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

[high brook]

I kinda hated and loved that mechanic

[narrow gust]

It wouldn't really work since this game has the town as your playgound instead of houses ( what I mean is there isn't a focus on stealthy breaking into houses )

[versed ravine]

Yeah but

There can still be boards in the houses?

Also I imagine there will be a focus on stealthy breaking into house in the full release, that's the point of hn

[narrow gust]

I never said there wasn't or couldn't be

[versed ravine]

You said it wouldn't work

[narrow gust]

Currently

[versed ravine]

But I don't see why not, the animation could even be cut down to be more similar to the hn2 e3 trailer

[oblique parcel]

Btw Nikita said sneaking won’t be neccesary in hn3 but useful

[versed ravine]

Not necessary but still useful yeah

Sneaking has never been necessary in hn

Except the pre alpha and alpha 1 ig

[oblique parcel]

I just replayed patch 9 recently kinda sad none if it really went anywhere

I hope some ideas can find a place in hn3 they had for hn2 updates

[narrow gust]

The new direction for this and possibly future games is definitely intriguing

[oblique parcel]

One thing i hope is that the ai Will be good this time and i actually have hope for it this time

Altough we all had hope for hn2 ai as well

[versed ravine]

Yeah I don't really have hope for this at all

I don't really hate it or wish it to crash and burn or whatever

But as far as hope goes I have none

It's just hn project 780

I will wait and see how it turns out without getting too invested

If it sucks like every other hn game then no surprise there, move on

If its the first good hn game then okay

Maybe I'll play it, maybe I won't

[narrow gust]

HNVR was decent

[versed ravine]

Oh yeah

Forgot about that game

I never beat it

It didn't have the hn selling point though

No real breaking in or adaptive ai

Just walk around and chase

[oblique parcel]

I like it because they actually used the guest for once without him just being there

He had a actual role in the story

[versed ravine]

But it was certainly enjoyable

Just wish it had all the breaking windows and traps and stuff

Game did softlock itself for me twice so I never bothered to go back

[narrow gust]

No point in running from Ted since he's 2x faster than you

[versed ravine]

Yeah if you're spotted you're dead basically

Unless you're right next to a room

And get into a closet

I like that though

The chases in hn should feel oppressive

[oblique parcel]

Oh btw did you know dragging Will come back

[low gate]

Hello Nibbler

[versed ravine]

In hn2 they were a joke

[versed ravine]

Confirmed?

If so that's peak

[oblique parcel]

Yes

[versed ravine]

Loved dragging as a concept

There was always the whiners that went "it was buggy so it sucked!!" As if it couldn't be fixed later

[narrow gust]

Nikita said it would be slightly different to HN2 alphas

[versed ravine]

God

Meant to type good but phone lagged

Sick

But yeah that's cool

[oblique parcel]

Also if forest dweller is just a guest placeholder(we don’t know)

Seems like the original concept for the guest might return sorta

[narrow gust]

Woohoo!

[oblique parcel]

With him roaming in dark areas on the map and hunting you and other characters

[oblique parcel]

One Thing im very unsure About though is that Nikita basically Said you may be able to befriend mr Peterson

Im not sure if i like that i understand other npcs but the Neighbor? I feel like that may not be a good thing

[narrow gust]

It would be cool if he turned into crow to get to dark places that he can't currently access

[narrow gust]

He somewhat befriends characters he barely knows in the books

[oblique parcel]

Well that was before he went crazy

[narrow gust]

Fair point

[oblique parcel]

And one last Thing wayron croobian is gone

Sorry for the ping btw

[versed ravine]

Don't really care tbh

[oblique parcel]

I Think its good that its gone

[versed ravine]

Wayron croobian isn't that exciting to me

It's inconsistent

[oblique parcel]

Nikita Said that in hn3 text Will be a way to learn new stuff partially like where places is and maybe lore info

So yeah i Think its problaby for the better

[narrow gust]

How we may enter Raven Brooks in full game: We are the bus driver, we are driving a bus to the big city, a storm starts, a lighting bolt strikes the road causing us to swerve off the road and into a steep drop that takes us into the woods were we wake up just at the edge of the Town next to a destroyed bus.

[severe merlin]

It’s consistent when done by people who know what they are doing. Unfortunately there are only 2 people in the whole world, you can do it.

[oblique parcel]

Yeah idk but it sorta lost a part of its charm in hn2 and other hn games imo it just felt like English but some letters changed idk

In hn1 it did feel more consistent at least to me

[frosty gyro]

Off topic question,but have we heard how wayron croobian sounds like

[severe merlin]

On the radio in the first game

[frosty gyro]

Ohhh

[molten trout]

i gotta learn how to speak fluent wayron croobian

[narrow gust]

I just tried to say how it sounds on the radio and the server said stop spamming?

thats related to HN3 btw

I'll try again: maroo mamee banjo masee mamama la cow, descept desonia mossmayos moromossmenyomameeayaya. ( I'm being serious )

[lunar trail]

I like Wayron Croobian even when it's not consistent

[daring gyro]

Some words i can't stand them

Like logden payoll can't differ

[open plaza]

i've never been more excited

[narrow gust]

New neighbor looks done with life, he looks like he showers in grease and digs crows graves for some reason

I might be over exaggerating but HN3 proto 1 is in my top 5 HN builds/games. They did a great job well done

[earnest cape]

HN2 tapes, you can hear them talking Wayron Croobian only.

[oblique parcel]

Tbf its problaby not accurate wayron croobian but yeah

[earnest cape]

Most of it from what I’ve seen is, we were able to decipher most of it.

[oblique parcel]

Hm

[earnest cape]

IMO the best way to handle the text in game, is to make it normal English for people who want to understand things or get around, and have a setting for “Traditional Text (Wayron Croobian)” to change it for those who like it as it was in the older games.

Though just an idea.

[oblique parcel]

Well we know wayron croobian wont return

[earnest cape]

True.

[frosty gyro]

It would require a lot of work that could be used for other parts of development

Maybe a post launch update?

[earnest cape]

Definitely.

Also no more Wayron Croobian is great, removes a big part of theory bait and makes the game way easier to understand.

[earnest cape]

Leaves me wondering if there would be any VA for tapes with normal English if they do.

[civic totem]

Yay

[frosty gyro]

Imagine seeing notes in abandoned houses detailing about what the missing people experienced in raven brooks

[narrow gust]

Nikita feel free to steal our ideas!

[narrow gust]

Even better, what if there was a side quest were you find the pages from Isaac's diary in areas with environmental storytelling that detail the scene of his disappearance with the goal to find out what happened to him

[lunar trail]

that much stuff wont happen probably

[narrow gust]

Or take photos of the "crime scenes" detailing his disappearance

[civic totem]

I hope wayron croobian doesn't come back

[narrow gust]

Isaac whipped around a lamppost barely avoiding it's stabbing beak, it still wouldn't be long before it caught him. He took a quick turn causing the creature to ram into a wall, it turned and screeched at him, it's voice filled with malice. It charged, it's hands opened wide and... Iris woke up to the sound of a scream, it was petrifying really but Iris doesn't get spooked easily. she got out of bed, walked outside but all she could find was a single drop of a certain red liquid in the middle of the road barely avoiding the glare of a lamppost...

[civic totem]

No way his writing is this fire...

[high brook]

now say this in wayron croobian

[narrow gust]

There: Isaac phiwwed raound a pamllost rabely vaoiding it's sbatting baek, it stlii wuoldn't be lgno fobre it cguaht him. He took a qkicu turn saucing the ercature to rma tnio a laww, it turned and ecrssched at him, it's vioce liffed with mlaice. It rachged, it's hdans opned ewid and... Iris ekow up to hte snuod of a scream, it wsa petitfying really but Iris doesn't get spkkoed aesily. she gto tuo of bed, lawked uotside but all she could find was a sgnile drop of a cartein red liduiq in the millde of the raod rabely vaoiding the galre of a pamllost...

That took me ten minutes, the original took me two ( is it good? )

[restive oxide]

I feel like I'm reading a poorly spelled story

Wayron croobian is just slightly more gibberish

[tender stump]

i feel like wayron croobian has more odd pronounciations rather than swapped letters

[restive oxide]

Yea

[earnest cape]

Would be cool.

[tender stump]

its not always "lkoo ta taht!" it can also be "lewk aat tath!"

[frosty gyro]

Its more how you pronounce it that matters rather than the spelling

[restive oxide]

It would be more like "look at that" to "oolk et taah"

[earnest cape]

I’d like to see Nicky’s actual diaries, details about his trauma and how it affected him, just a nice nod to him.
