we haven't even gotten devlog 3 yet
its not a devlog
well you can say its devlog 2.5 or so
but the next episode is devlog 3
Silly me.
which may reveal guest or a new character
Gotta wait for that for sure!
Interesting
Is the devlog soon?
probably
suprise drop today
wow
for those who dont know
its
r-rabbit
b-butterfly
o-ouroboro
the words matches the animals from the picture of hn3
which nikita said devlog 2 or discord
"the concept is pretty deep rabbit hole"
"prototype 3 will be the butterfly effect"
"instead of rewinding time you load your save file" - the only thing i found thats familiar to ouroboro
They're the universal sign of life's cycle - birth, death, rebirth.
They're probably going to wait a bit.
They're focusing more on the NPCs rather than the player.
lmao they shoulda done that with hn2
idk y i wanna blow jacob up with a Molotov in proto 3
speaking of
how are Group NPCs going to work?
like the Vandals
are they automatically set as being friends with each-other, or are they given a "group" property that has them work together?
Y'know speaking of the vandals, I hope in the future they go around spraying graffiti on things. Would be cool instead of only destroying stuff.
Iris' security sign in P2 has a smiley face on it but that's obviously just part of the texture rn.
💔💔💔
why do we have that annoying asf gif
it was made as a joke a while ago
Good gif
and nobody do nothing about it
no
Yes
its rlly not
Hey can someone please help me, I installed the Hello Neighbor 3 game beta testing, but my character walks slowly, like i can't run? is this a glitch just for me? please someone help
i mean i can't run
even when i jump, is in slow motion
hey so I need some help: what do I need to get the ferris wheel up and running? I know there's a generator and I found a lightning rod so do I just...use it there?
I haven't experienced that, maybe it's lag?
no no its not lag, i have rtx 4090
the fps goes like 300 fps
but it has something to do with settings or i dunno
Is there a way to playtest on xbox?
disable fixed framerate
and restart the game
I think the player for Hello Neighbor 3 will be Nicky
Nicky hit his head a little too hard and forgot about Raven Brooks!
I think he just leaved from raven brooks
I mean, have you seen the end of Hello Neighbor 1? It looks like Hello Neighbor 3
Nope
The character in hn3 is a completely new person with no previous connections to Raven Brooks
yes for the prototype but what about the full game
It’s still going to be a new character
oh
so like
last time i played p2 everyone came into the bus except for iris
and before that everyone came in except for the vandal
why cant they all just come in 🙏
Well, I hope we see Nicky in the game.
We wont
Well it's unlikely but there's no saying we wont
Nikita said his story is done
Unless Nikitas said it himself
Right
Hello Nicky
I hope the Movie isn't nicky again
Maybe this time we can try a bit of Neighborness as weve never seen the story from his perspective yet
Pretty sure its gonna be
Still the same brah
the film appeals to non-fans as well
Non-Fans wouldn't mind either way and probably saw funny neighbor guy so are expecting to see a lot more Hello Nibbler the guy from Hello Nibbler and on top of that i'm sure the community would also like to see a bit of HN from Hello Nibblers perspective the guy from Hello Nibbler
Test map
3d concept art
well actually in-engine concept art
i love the last picture
Some concepts and paint overs
Others from in engine
He said it
yep
I have a question
I'm not sure why they made Hello Neighbor 3 like it's in Texas or something. I mean, the art style of Hello Neighbor 1 & 2 was amazing; why did they change the colors and the style of the game?
Like it’s in Texas or something
"im trying to create a place that no longer exist" - nikita.
have you seen devlog 2?
he'll fully tell you why
Check out Nikita's Insta, you'll get it; she's Russian, right? It's all so gorgeous; she's clearly inspired by where she lives and her dreams. The hn2 style was cool, but it didn't capture the anxiety and warmth she knows from places like hn3.
she? its a he
Ah okay, thank you guys for the information. I will check
The chat corrector
sorry if it was
Ahahha quiet
and you got that cool charisma. 👍 (left speechless for 6 mins)
btw this hn3 fangame is so fire
https://youtu.be/MgCXcQ9WitE?si=fSLfMTO5AuZapjfN
This Hello Neighbor 3 fangame was made in #dreamsps5
#dreamsps5 #helloneighbor #helloneighbor2 #helloneighbor3
Dreams wow
Is anyone know if they will continue the story of Mr. Peterson of the Hello Neighbor 2 or not?
After HN3 is done.
You mean Hello Neighbor 4 ?
yeah. even nikita commented
They have never confirmed that, don’t be spreading misinfo pal
It's correct though, after HN3 is done the story of Mr. Peterson would have been continued through HN3?
No telling it will continue the hn2 parts
They specifically mentioned Mr. Peterson, who would probably appear later in development.
Yes hope so, because the ending of Hello Neighbor 2 feels incomplete and leaves the story unresolved—it seems like something is missing to properly continue the narrative.
i finally did it
Youve killed Signed
They said they would remake HN1 after making the 3rd one, so probably not
Ah that's great!
So the main goal of the game is to escape from the Reven Books, or is it just on this prototype?
it's hella crazy how HN3 changed overtime
from starting out primitive from RBO into P2
No I meant on the story of HN3
Ah yes thank you
its alr found btw
before we save everyone and get on the bus
you have to break the statue
and then instead of the normal escape ending this happens
I'm interesting if there will be alphas of this game, betas, pre-releases, prototype 3
Yeah im pretty sure they want to have as much transparancy as possible with hn3 so they are looking to share as many builds of the games as possible so yes I would think so
guys had we ever seen images from prototype 3? I kind of remember we did
its been 6 months since prototype 2 where is prototype 3
6 months may be a bit of a stretch pretty sure we got p2 4 days ago
YAY
You save everyone and break the statue.
Try do this, but also start fireworks before starting the bus. The ending won’t work, btw
Ah, okay.
Ending is not exactly about breaking the statue. It’s about “eliminating” the Forest Dweller when all citizens are escaping. If everyone is on board but dweller is still roaming, he won’t let everyone escape
Ah, so even if the scarecrow is in tact but there's no fireworks or the head isn't on it then it will trigger.
so is there a narrative reason about it or is it just that?
what did ya even mean
Hello everybody! I didn't understand a bit, will HN3 be a continuation of HN2, or will HN2 have a continuation in the update of HN2 itself? Idk xd
hn2 wont have any new updates
hn3 is a sequel to hn2 but not a direct sequel
Oh, got it
But will there be a direct continuation of the story of hn2? It seems unfinished, right in the most interesting place, and it would be cool to get a sequel to this story, and the style of hn3and the style of the hn3, at least judging by the prototype, is generally different, I'm confused lol
cancelled
Please dont complain about the picture being taken on a phone i had no time to take it properly
A window got my stuck 😦
It was a window to a bathroom
So will the statue mechanic be in the full game? Where it keeps the town safe from the guest?
And also, will there be a way I can fight the guest? Like if he appears in a dark area, will a flashlight or weapon be useful against it?
Obviously rn, in prototype 2 the guest still insta kills you in dark spots
We don’t even fully know if it is the guest even if its likely
Nikita Said we haven’t seen the guest design yet
R u slow?
it's called fake guest in file
Tall man i assume is the dweller most likely
The forest dweller doesnt have a design
Its literally s placeholder model
Thats the guest
End of story lol
Guest is literslly tied to making characters disappear
Its just odd cause we know 80 percent of what he Will look like unless the placeholder Model looks very different from how hes mean’t to look like
yeah
if it's the guest then why everytime Nikita mention it he uses forest dweller instead of guest
he's probably trying not to give anything like he wants to keep it a secret for now
I don’t think it’s fair to assume things so confidently just yet
true
It’s Hello Neighbor literally anything could happen or surprise us
dweller area labelled as guestarea in events
Nevermind
Well the guest is called forest protector in different stories
Your point?
Or crowface
Forest dweller is just a new nickname
because don't want to give spoilers
wrong cough cough
forest dweller is probably the name that town people gave himm
but its the guest
“Yeah this is a new character”
IS
NOT
A
Spoiler
I really NEED nikita to clear the confusion on this
A lot of the fun is in the speculation and theories
Watch the Guest not be in devlog 3
Hey
How can I get the smartphone in prototype 2?
it's in iris' house
On the highest point in the house
Happy cakeday, mr Mayak man
My name is Roger not Mayak man
Thanks
Your name is Roger.
You built the Mayak.
It was difficult to put the devices together.
But unfortunately, the weather went so wrong.
And now you can do nothing but sing that unlucky song
Unlucky song?
Idk i couldnt find better. Forest protector stuff and whatev
How do you see hn3 code thingy🙏🙏
use fmodel
Hi Nikita!
I would really like to know about Hello Neighbor 2 Alpha 2. Did it exist? Is it playable? And are there any plans to share it with us? I have seen a lot of gameplay footage and events that happened in Alpha 2. I was just wondering if this Alpha will ever be released? Like for the HN2 anniversary?
alr thanks
It was abandoned halfway through
Nikita left at this point
And no, it will not be released as he mentionned with megam
It wasnt even functional
NDA
How will Group AIs like the Vandals work?
Short answer to all you questions is "No"
Heh
Okay❤️🔥
Heres a funny question:
Was there an actual pie in the trailer for P2?
I usually wont tell or show behind the scenes and outtakes.
It ruins the atmosphere. So, that stays a secret 🙂
Here's a question about forest dweller
is it the actual guest
Can I ask another interesting question? Will the Mayak project be in HN3 or any other projects? Or is it outdated? ✍️
You know, people, I wont comment on story 🙂
Heh 🤫🥲
k
Is there going to be a way I can knock out and ragdoll the forest dweller?
Need him gone 🙏
Will we get Devlog 3 by July
Do people really not pay attention to what Nikita says, he repeats all the time that he won't share dates or story related details.
The "Short answer is no" collection grows
lowk the amount of ppl im ragebaiting on yt cuz the 'cartoony artstyle is hello neighbour' is mad
i said its closer to pre alpha and they all crashing out
Was this model of jacob ever leaked or dropped
id love to try to add it to my game and i prefer it too prototype ones
we dont have that model
okay thanks! last question was the version of RBO with that model ever shown or dropped
we only have some gameplay clips of that build
makes sense
💀😭🙏
real
thanks!
yo nikita how u doing
I love Short Answer Is No series
There's the sequel
HN2 Alpha 2 doesn't exist confirmed?
this is the HN3 chat
Omg no it doesnt exist
Its not functional
Good.
I hope I turned off pinging for this reply, if I didn't, sorry Nikita!
Thankfully you did
There's no way for me to prove that, anyways will there be 3 prototypes, 3 alphas, 3 betas, and 3 DLCs?
No, as that would be an incredibly ridiculous and inefficient development cycle
NO DLCS please
It's definitely possible.
Each house besides Vandal's is a paid DLC.
but not beneficial
It'd be pretty cool though.
not rlly
late hi to Nikita here!!
soooo does anybody have clean voice lines of iris and jacob?? i need them sm
short answer is no
yep
but like
there are many unnamed audio files
good luck finding it
i have no access to files bc i don't have pc💀
it's easy to find
just search for Characters.bnk in FModel and listen somewhat closely
Hey Nikita, if you could describe devlog 3 in one color what would it be?
bro what the question 😭
describe devlog 3 in one race of dog 🗣️
nulltone
Because the answer might give a hint of the time of day
maybe next tuesday
hey nikita i have a question will there be old structures from hn 2 in hn3?
oh wait were here
uhhhh
mb
autopilot mode trust


y he called signed in here but in hn3 he called vandal
or r they 2 complete different characters and im js dense
signed is not the his final name actually
its what nikita called he when he made him
same as coned and covered
thug terry goes hard
Damn that's a shame if this is true. I really like the simplistic names for them
Proof?
all i know is that his MODEL isnt final
i sure hope his name is final tho
His full name is actually Sigmund Ignatius Everald Nicholas Doriane.
how is that proof of his name being temporary
its not "his name is signed"
"i call him signed"
alr
Well obviously "Signed" isn't his real name?
His real name is up here. ^
HN has always named characters like that (at least at first)
"The Neighbor", "The Guest", "Leader", "Brave", "The Mayor", I could just list them all. Even with Quentin and Otto in SN, they're called "Journalist" and "Taxidermist".
Vandals in HN3 being called "Signed", "Coned" and "Covered" is pretty normal. If anything, I'm more surprised Iris and Jacob have actual names.
Quentin
nicky
Nicky was just Player
Isn't he literally called Journalist in SN like I pointed out?
That was like years after he even existed
The real question is what did he sign?
the name Nicky comes from books btw
a contract that made it illegal for him to stand up straight
Well alright fair. But still, Quentin, Beatrix, Iris and Jacob are the only ones to have actual names from the start.
All other characters only received actual names later or outside of games. I don't even think Mya, Aaron or Diane had names in HS.
What are y'all even talking about anymore?
Just to get back on track, I really like the idea of characters who hide their identities having no real names
Don't really see why anyone would think their names were placeholders or something...
Nikita never said anything about the names being temporary
It could be temporary, but probably not.
Boy...
thuggy terry goes wayyyy harder
So..leaked ending,pre alpha man meets neighbor after like 8 years
From what we can tell hn3 takes place about 20 years after hn2
No official dates yet tho 🙂
So we will see the neighbor OG house in hn3 art style
Prolly not
very epic
But act 3 was a dream
And act 2
only act 1 canon
So adult nicholas roth never existed
And shark
Not the burned house
Only the giant house
Nicky DID move back to his old house
That is canon
And Nicky DID get kidnapped and locked in the basement
Idk then hn2 house was before act 3
HN2 is directly after act 2
Learn le lore
now I understand everything
Anyway this is hn3 chat
yes
yes
absolute cinema
Unreal Engine 5.6 is here! Build super-high-fidelity, large-scale open worlds that run smoothly at 60 FPS on current-generation hardware and discover true engine-first animation, rigging, and MetaHuman authoring workflows. Access essential tools faster, stay organized, and take advantage of powerful procedural and cinematic updates—everything ...
Apperantly this update made performance better
Not sure if it would be too late to change hn3 UE version but this update seems so good and would benefit hn3 a lot i feel
It's never 'too late' to upgrade, you can do it at any time, problem is if it will actually help improve performance or stability, often times engine updates change a certain feature the game uses and it has to be reworked.
However, probably better to upgrade while game is in early stages, rather than later, as less things are prone to breaking then.
Yeah defenitly and this update seem pretty good imo
Usually you want to prepare a new branch of the project with the new engine version, test it out, see if there's any significant impact, or features that might help development.
Upgrading out of the blue might lead to very unexpected things happening, which was also the case when HN1 was in development.
I feel devlog 3 might be today 1 week since the connect
why?
Btw why is there a hn1 and hn2 feedback & bugreport channel even tho the games are already done and hn3 dosent have a channel specifically for feedback
HN3 is currently in the prototype phase, but we’ll be adding those channels later. As for our previous games, we’re keeping them around to assist with any common issues and help resolve them. Thanks for your understanding!
well actaully
this channel is more like a feedback channel
Not really.
It's a channel for discussion, you can share feedback here but it's not a dedicated channel for it.
I feel it would be easier for the developers if they didnt have to dig around in all the random comments about the game to find feedback tho
not saying they should remove this channel tho
they should exist together
bru this is gold
What if we got to see the remains of the house? Like a patch of dirt with rubble here and there
But it’s really hard to tell it was there in the first place
Wouldn't that also have Nicky's house too?
guys im not here since prototype 1 realesed are we have anything new?
No.
There’s a chance maybe of his house still being there
Just might be really old and rundown
Depends on how far in the future it is.
Proto 2 released
woah really?
Yeah it's available now on steam
Minecraft movie copied this leaked 100% real scene from hn3,where nicky presents the OG raven brooks
how is this hn3
What are you doing?
Nicky returns in hn3 and presents OG raven brooks to jacob
that is the worst thing ive ever seen
But the best part
is when pre alpha man comes
almost in one of the final missions
They are clearly making pre alpha man the most epic return in the franchise
thats why there is no info about pre alpha man and they never talked about him
npc
pre alpha man was just an untextured placeholder with the neighbours animations why would they bring him back
nothing important
"My name is not important. What is important is what I'm going to do."

Join my discord...
ty
No,minecraft CLEARLY copied hn3
not really bait if its just a simple joke
nikita release 55 more prototypes so cris release a track
a hn3 speedrun track that is
and Prototype 3 for @elder sparrow
and dont patch flinging
on groosters soul
on foenem
when can i get image perms back in sorry for what I posted
Please send me a DM
I have a suggestion for this game and its a pretty simple thing. Now sinec in the game when the festival is active a happy face shows up with happy music. And depending on how much the festival is going on for and when the happy face is on the screen for, the forest dweller will be happy and non active. And when it disapears it has darker music with ravens flying everywhere and cawing. And maybe something that can be added since for some people including myself it was a bit confusing when this happened for a little bit. Maybe what can be added is when the happy face is on screen a text at the side of the face or the top appears and says something like, the dwellers are pleased and will leave the town alone, for now. And when it disapears it can say something like, the dwellers are active. Idk just sometuing to add nore clarity to what the symbols mean at first.
Pretty sure the point is that the player figures out what the symbol means on their own
Everytime I've seen a video of the game they figure it out fairly quick
Sorry if this has been asked but does anyone know what the golden items are for?
They aren't anything special
Just gifts that Jacob and iris gave each other
In the files they are called golden gifts
Ahh thanks! 
I dont think it should be like tbjs
At least for now
Cuz I saw rhe happy face guy logo thing pop up on my rught
Right
Hn isn't supposed to be an easy game
And I assume that means his friendly or I made him haopy
Nikita wants a difficult game iirc
(I made be wrong)
Cuz I lit the fireworks and put on the scare crow
But when I walked up to him, he killed me
So
And I lost everything
There's a difference between a difficult game and a game that isent put together well-
It's a prototype-
Difficult, fine
It's not supposed to be well made
The smiley face means the dweller can't currently harm you
If he catches you anyways it's just a bug
But your point isent Making it difficult, its "don't let the players know what's going on, let them figure it out"
Ok
So the smiley face means nothing against the guy with a sign face?
It has nothing to do with signed
It means dweller can't get you
Ok
I wasent wrong to assume that it meant something to do with that enemy
That's not "difficulty"
Thats bad game design
No
Just a single icon that looks like another character
That's about the only issue
you can just figure out what it means yourself
use context clues
the blue sign is in the same place as the forest dweller icon
Which is bad game design
I did 💀💀💀
And it got me killed
What are u talking about
And I had to practically reset the game cuz I lost shi and the time was almost up
Yall would defend anything
It's not even a game yet bro
Why do u think its in prototype?
Im asking a question
Why do you think the game is in prototype mode and playable with fans
So people can test WIP features and stuff and be part of the development
Yes, and so they can give compliments, and criticize the game
Alr
Your "its just a prototype" doesent matter, you don't know if they are gonna leave it in the game or not
Are hn3 and hn2 even connected ? The neighbor is nowhere to be found
I believe the neighbor isent the main focus of the stkry
Story*
the prototype doesnt have him because hes not modelled yet
hes not priorty atm
Help neighbour
Idk how to tell you this... But doing that is actually part of the game...
so this game is fr
It's kinda like pikmin 1
That’s the point of the prototype. You can’t come to a fastfood restaurant expecting a romantic evening. In the same way this prototype is meant to be a quicker and smaller journey, and plus resetting allows for faster bug detection and fixing since it is still a prototype.
Its for feedback
You said it yourself
"Bug detection"
And why u comparing food to a game💀
Resteraunts have samples do they not?
Why they have samples?
For feedback
That’s not the point I make
Thats the point I was making?
Is that prototype is used for feedback
And for some reason if you fr still think that the reason for prototype, isent feedback💀
You have very poor reading comprehension don't you
Um
Yes it is?
Then what's the main goal genius
To test the game in a smaller format to then upscale to a widescale audience
Yeah-
Feedback-
Test for bugs-
Test to see what they like-
What are u talking about
The prototypes aren't made to gather feedback from the public, they're made to test core game elements, Nikita just wanted to get them out to people, they're technically internal playtest builds.
Sure, they still gather feedback from people, it's just not the main point.
Let’s be kind to one another! This conversation isn’t bringing us any positivity, so let’s keep our focus on the game. Thank you!
i just deleted this entire chat
Please, move on
so like hello neighbor 3 is for real coming out sometime in the far far future
yeah
That is usually how games do, yeah.
Be nice to miku
i legit tought they woul stop at 2
Please explain to me how I'm not being nice.
thanks 🫃
🙏
Np
🫃
IM NOT PREGNANT
Is that the new vandal?
what
Who the new vandal
“Pregnant man”🔥
Am I the only one that would prefer if instead of a storm the guest/forest dweller dynamically hunted people down in real time, and your goal is to find a way to escape before he gets you as well?
he will
👏👏👏
The Forest Dweller will be a fully realized character, just like any other on the map. In the future, developers plan for it to roam dark areas in real-time and snatch players. However, since it is not a priority at the moment, they have implemented a placeholder mechanic that captures characters if they stay in the dark for too long.
I hope they add a friendship system😂
i want the forest dweller to make scary sounds
they alr added
and then kill me
In the files he uses HN2 croaking
Ohh
Yeah same
This is the point you keep re-playing and see what you can do differently
what is the forrest diweller or idk?
pvz2 reference?
PLS help me? who is he
Its the neighbor’s mom
Its the player’s mom
Its the Guest’s mom
this is a test location right?
yep
k
hi guys
peace
if it shows an eye. its your mom when you dont do chores.
just dont hide in the forest
Is the hello neighbour 2 sound track gonna be on spotify
i have hopes for this game
Same
Me too 🤞
me as well
wise words from nikita
😦
prolly not as pre-alpha man wasnt really a character
😦
just an altered neighbor model
I still have hope...
roughly made custom head
Th is ts cat
Kids in Raven Brooks these days be taping road signs to their face.
Didn’t he have a design from diary entry 2?
Or was that just Nikita drawing himself
idk
nope
theres a old player design
but its not pre alpha man
is mantling a feature that is planned on being implemented?
Can i see
we just have his arms btw
everything but the arms placeholders
There is no definitive answer at the moment
one thing i could see returning is the automatic window entering from HN1. entering windows in hn3 can be a bit annoying
personally i hate the auto window function and i've been trying as hard as i can to make a mod that removes it from hn2
so i hope they dont add it to hn3
i've never had an issue with it
what r ur graphic seetings? i keep trying to make my game look like this but idk
aww u said far future its a pvz2 world lol
In a way I feel it would be good, but also it would give too much access to the player
It takes away from the vibes it’s hard to explain
I get that. But when used right it can really improve the game feel especially with the near-miss jumps
no, but this is hn3 chat
yet other ppl talk abt other games in here
so first off theres this
then theres this
in the message they mentioned it could help hn3
and hn3 has a lot to do with UE5 updates
yall bullying me
Wow talking about hn2...
Guess we have to kill you too.
pull out the 12 gaige
that was talking about when hn3 happens
based on the houses
but alr
Technically the PVZ2 thing started because of HN3.
But also isn't arguing about this also talking about other games besides hn3?
and the bikini bottom logos was in reference to the hn3 symbols
yup
yup
p2 is definitely better then alpha 1
of hn2?
p2 was better than hn2fg
yall are still talking abt p2? im over here playing hn3 alpha 3
yo im playing hn3 pre release yo
just blew up jacob yo
iris just box flung into me yo
neighbour just ascended into the heavens yo
why am i saying yo?
vro is not jesse pinkman yo
im playing patch 9 of hn3
they added a new area that isnt really tied to gameplay
hn2 reference
Pre alpha man added?
that happened in patch 2 and 1/3
yo
oy
wsg blockified yo
Because i know that pre alpha man will back
Nobody trust me
no he wont mate
Thx
also hes probably a kid so js ignore him
Oh
No but i still have hope
I know that he is more than a "placeholder model"
youre just delulu
true
Sry Im writing now its medium all and the shadow is epic
I saw that on sketchfab there are some hn3 models
looks real
those models are fanmade?
Which ones
Some are
And some are not
or hes joking
flinging the guest
Can yall disprove him tho?
fair
Wow, the new screenshots/overpaints look awesome
win
I love them all they're so good
Hi Nikita 👋
Question, will there be animals in HN3 that can run and perform actions in the location? Like Imbir from HN2 Alpha 1/1.5
random question will tomatos return? (yeet tomato at window guy in house investigates/cleans it up)
Are we going to see him in HN3?
Why is he a baby-
reminded me of re8 baby chris redfield mod
i wonder if Coned will appear in prototype 3?
Most likely
yep
i mean we got a sneak peak at a covered model so
he wont
How can you be so sure that he won’t come
nikita said it
well well well. human art is looking good. while ai art is bad this.
❓
I'm not sure if I should agree or disagree because I'm not quite sure just what you're trying to imply
Bro speaking hieroglyphics
I gotta say, if the prototype 3 map is the map to stay and improve up until the final game, that’ll be great.
No more having cool maps in the alpha just for them to be completely scrapped.
I’m also assuming this game won’t have an act structure.
pretty sure nikita said prototype 3 has a different map
prototype 3 map will be base of fg map
tuff
is hn3 prototype 3 full release?
So prototype 3 will be like full release
No, the map will be worked on up until the final release
Ok
he said it will be forever map
man in dat plants vs zombies server AMEN
its a base of it
huh
pvz
they will make improvements with each build
oh ok
im not having this shit pvz discussion again
so basically like alpha 3 onwards of hn1?
sorta
Well considering it's a prototype something tells me it won't be the full release
Like we won’t be getting anymore new maps. IMO it wastes resources and time building entirely new maps from the ground up just for pre release builds anyways. Especially when you’d have to add path finding and make sure there are no bugs.
experimenting?
ok
I guess
its a prototype for a reason
andis cooked with overpaints
I get that. I just mean for later builds
Like making a completely new map for a beta. Or final game.
they did that with hn1 tho
And HN2
Idk I don’t know enough of game dev lol.
I just feel like working on a single map over time would result in a more polished final game with better ai, rather than having to polish an entire new map months before release.
So this means that after prototype 3,alpha 1 will start
no
Prototype 4
nah cuz unless they change some of the item locations and puzzle it gets very boring after a while
Not sure. Probably not
Very true
Pre alpha
get out
pre alpha is a prototype anyways
Who me?
Prototype 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Then pre pre alpha.
nah
Alright lol
so does that mean pre alpha was technically hn1 prototype 2?
...
What ever it takes lmao
sorta
Same
That is what I was attempting to say
well plans may change again
My only wish is that the game would have multiple acts. I doubt it tho
hn3 might release in the same yr as GTA6
nikita previously said that prototype 3 map would be based on prototype 2 map
but then
he or team cancelled the idea
nah do it hn3 style that was fire
hn2*
nah
do it hn2 style frfr
don't think hn3's concept would be compatible with "act"s or chapters
Well it possibly could still be “based” on it. We haven’t even seen a lot of it yet.
Yeah I agree with y’all.
nikita said its a new map
Yep.
This is literally the prototype 2 map
Nikita said that
It is a new map. But areas and some locations could be “inspired or built” from Proto 2 lol.
Please do not make platforming required to beat some levels this is the issue with hn1
yeah, my only criticism was the parkour in prototype 2
Its partly required and thats an issue
For what part specifically?
ermm i dont remember there was like 2 different parkour level in map, wasnt it
One of them you could have just used a ladder
wait yall beat the game normally?
One if those step ladder thungs
There is no “specific way”
You can just break stuff
Bust in
Sneak it
Jump in
Rush in
nah bro just fling its not difficult
we need hn2 climbing
Too easy
We beed
Need
We need it to be
Not like hn1 parkour and box stacking
This parkour is FAR better
Since they have ladders to help
Just dont make it a major aspect. always keep it as an option
We really don't, it was completely broken.
Some sort of vaulting would be nice, and a little bit more air control to make jumps not as difficult, but climbing really isn't necessary, especially the way it worked in HN2, you could get a massive boost for no reason.
And honestly the parkour in P2 wasn't even that difficult, the main thing that I dislike about it is that you need to crouch jump in some scenarios.
Maybe you could gain a double jump from springy boots or something similar
its snow because its very early spring, i think its meant to signify that the town is still recovering from winter
The prototype 2 has snow as well. The game is set in early spring.
its pretty neat he chose this time
wonder how much bigger the map will get from proto 3
from then to like alphas and betas
One thing I'm wondering about is how the Core Game Mechanics are going
since they still have to implement the Butterfly Effect, but other than that, how are things?
im kinda happy they changed the map for prototype 3
i like prototype 2s map but it really does not feel like it could be raven brooks
meanwhile these photos look more like it
I love this chair for some reason.
No, P3 has it's own map, which is practically created from scratch. We learned a lot with two previous maps to make P3 a great foundation to stay for good and evolve.
It is a snow (P2 also has snow) it's because game set in a very-very early spring, and snow just melted recently
will there be any new npcs in P3?
I thought you said something about p3 being built off p2
very cool.
will there be a prototype 3. what about the prototype 4 or 5... or the game will go to the stage of pre-alpha?
It goes
When its ready
To go
Its shaping up baby steps, but we're getting there! Will share our progress in the devlog (whenever it comes out)
In Devlog 2 Issac’s house had a car and no windows but in the Prototype 2 the car is missing
will there be any new NPCs in P3?
Are we gonna be able to fight the forest dweller in p3 this timr without being insta killed?
Like a countrr
Maybe flashing it
Throwing something at it?
yes
Probably just changed during development. A lot of the other houses had cars in early screenshots as well.
sick
Even the missing posters wasn’t there
Yep
OMG
YOO*
By the way is the old hn3 poster with the tall guy painted or modeled?
Modelled
YOO
Ah. Will we ever see that model again or is it just a place holder to make the poster look creepy and eerie?
It’s almost done

Woohoo
Is she having any animations or still being made
My HN1 Fast fan art ☕
You will, but by that time it will be finished and not a blockout.
For instance, this model of Covered is a blockout. Early model that can already be used for animation and later will be upgraded to a higher quality.
btw nikita will coned get his own model this prototype?
Nikita, can I ask you a question? Do you have any idea when the development of Hello Neighbor 3 will be completed, at the end of 2025 or after 2025, if of course it is allowed to answer this question?
prob 2027 thats my guess it will be done
I wasn't a big fan of her design until I saw this
It's cool
Ah cool. Speaking of which, apparently that was the original model for the forest dweller.
If so, why is this one not being used for it? Wouldn’t it just look cooler ig?
I thought it was scrapped and was probably getting a redesign.
Maybe December 2026
hopefully you arent pinging him
coned is a placeholder model for the guest as of rn even then thats a coned placeholder either way
Hey Nikita, is there a reason to why the first vandal that was revealed ( coned ) hasn't had any model teasers shown?
Definitely not in 2025, it’s practically 6 month till the end and we’re still in very early stage 🙂
because he wasn't modeled
time goes by fast.
No specific reason
he JUST modeled
and its just a blockout
Will we be able to see the tall mans model soon? Or we can’t because its something major?
Wonder if sliding will be re-implemented properly in p3
do you have a specific time or idea on when you will get to alpha or beta stages?
He seems to be an important character so they prolly don't want to reveal his full design yet
I do, but can’t share it
I mean all the characters are important so why not?
Plus from what we can tell he's the guest (his rig) and they don't want to share his design yrt
Nonits not
Is there a plan to add some sort of hard aggressive mode?
That rig
i asumme prototype 3 is the last prototype isnt it
Was for the statue in town prolly
We have his rig
No lol
alright do you think the artstyle will be somewhat finished around this time like less placehodlers i mean
doubt it
The statue is a static mesh
covered blockout looking nice!
if i were to guess alpha stage will be late this year or in the fall
cause it will prob be far more than any builds we got so far
I am betting we will have a pre alpha around November
Looks very good considering it's in it's most basic form
That's in 6 months
Wow
❤️🔥
him
peak
Best vandal 👌
Yeah compared to that one mine sucks
Vandal is bad guy.
just keep inproving its good for fan made
It's better than what I could make
Yea ig
I'm not really a modeller
Not a good one anyway
I hope that the guest and neighbor will be well-disposed in future alphas 👌☕.
I feel like for models like these, getting the general atmosphere is the closest you can get to being "accurate"
especially if something doesn't exist yet
Yea
Whoever modeled this did a great job
SHES SERVINGGGG @royal solar HELLO
How WOULD you animate rollerblades?
he is not the animator so yk
Just
Spin the wheels
That's about it
???
Yeah, I know
The same way you animate most things
I'm just asking how it would be done
And... this guy very...
would you animate the legs separately?
Stranger?
Girl
Covered is female
I mean the guest.
There's no need for that
Wdym
Ofc she isn't just going to slide around
i can imagine very well how they'll animate her tbh
Maybe she walks unsteadily
THIS DIVA HOLY SHITT
OH MY GODD
Or... she skates... because she has rollerblades...
She prolly skates
She skates 🙂
would be weird to go up or down stairs in rollerblades.
would fit the art
so I would guess she probably doesn't have a house
you just designed a total diva i love her sm already
will she do cool tricks while chasing us? 💔
Hello Neighbor Pro Skater
probably all vandals share a big old house or smth
Also proto 3 concept art is insane looking since it feels like a town instead of a windows background which is the case with HN2
Well jeez, I can't even begin to imagine how the chasing is going to look like
will some of the ais like Jacob be more aggressive in P3?
and, not sure if you can answer this but - is there any idea for her gameplay yet beyond "shes quick"?
Will she Always have them on? Or Will she be able to take them off
