hn3-discussion

[severe merlin]

Well, it might be there, but it doesn't matter in context of this conversation as we discuss the gameplay cutscenes.
There can be anything in the beginning to introduce game to the player

[queen sapphire]

Will there be cutscenes for some events?

[cunning yacht]

How many characters are planned to be in the game?

[whole obsidian]

Are you stupid

[agile kelp]

15 iirc

[cunning yacht]

don't be rude, bro

[pseudo spoke]

They hope to be able to reach 15, or even better 20, but they might not be able to.
Right now there's only 10 characters that we know of. (And we haven't even seen like, 3 of them)

[queen sapphire]

I meant general events, like the storm is destroying raven brooks

[cunning yacht]

i saw every alpha's and beta and final game versions has its own cutescenes
making cutscene is the most classic things to ever add it hello neighbor 😆

yeah. your right cutscene in hn3 is not possible now.
i think this will be the last game to never have cutscene

[near meadow]

Not even special cutscenes for the neighbor himself?

[urban steppe]

What about no cutscenes do people not understand

None means none

[blissful river]

People want cutscenes so they are trying to think of ways for them to be implemented.

[urban steppe]

It's not going to happen though, as Nikita said it's pretty much impossible because all events in the game are procedural

[cunning yacht]

I think less cutscene is good for sandbox gameplay. I prefer exploring places and stories to more cutscenes. And probably just will be in intro and endings, right?

[urban steppe]

I think Nikita said there won't be ending cutscenes either since those will happen procedurally as well

Think of it like when in prototype 2 you escape the town with the bus there's a little animation of you driving off but there's no cutscene

[cunning yacht]

Ah, I don't know. It will be weird when I escaped town and then cutoff.

[whole obsidian]

İt will like this?

[tight mesa]

I love the way the residents are drawn, still makes me think of paintings by hopper

HN3 Looks cool so far

[compact zodiac]

yeah i like playing hello neighbor 3 the first build was so laggy on my laptop and the new one is soo good

that game looks like smth i would dream

[tepid ember]

cuz p1 was a dev build

it wasnt supposed to release

[lusty dove]

yeah I mean hello neighbor is hello neighbor, the neighbor should have a bit more of focus, right?

[tepid ember]

bro

they quite literally cant do cutscenes

[smoky nymph]

is hn3 using UE5?

[untold grotto]

yes

[smoky nymph]

thx

[tepid ember]

oh thats why the uuu crashes upon release then

[near meadow]

Wait so theres no main story? Either?

[cunning yacht]

Sa

[fleet sandal]

The AIs and the player's decisions will shape the story for this game, based on what Nikita has been saying.

[woven lodge]

Procedural cutscenes?

[cunning yacht]

As

[daring forge]

The game will have multiple different stories

[restive oxide]

me mentioned ❤️

[thick terrace]

my friends saw me put in my password while i was share screening, and they left the server on my acc

[earnest cape]

That could work, thing is that would cause gameplay breaks stopping the player from playing still.

[lethal scroll]

Will there be forced story progression for characters? Like theoretically if a character had a final goal such as flood the town, would they work for it from the beginning or would they create their own story dynamically?

[high brook]

Like if there was an intro would it be like just ingame? Like you can look around and stuff while is happening?

[tepid ember]

yo its not hard to reslise there saying they cant do cutscenes for hn3

[icy canyon]

I think it's fine if there's no cutscenes planned for HN3, I dont want to be like out exploring in the forest before being randomly taken to a cutscene where Jacob gets caught by the forest dweller

[severe merlin]

Why? There is. It’s just the actions of characters happen in realtime not as a cutscene.

[near meadow]

So the main story would be the main events that occur if you dont interfere? The events that ARE supposed to happen correct?

And also another thing, The burnt house, the neighbor being gone in act 3, (Real time not dream)

Will we get closure for HIS story? As like a wrap up for what happened to him or what his fate was? Im not asking for answers or anything, I just wanna know if there WILL be a conclusion on the neighbors story because it never was answered for a long time.

But the player can CHANGE what is supposed to happen. Is it that?

[spiral atlas]

Hey Nikita, do the Vandals have any sort of dynamics you could share? A while back you had mentioned Signed using whistling to communicate and that made me wonder about how they work together and stuff

I always saw Coned as sort of a leader of the group

[restive oxide]

this is a bit off topic
but
your profile banner is amazing

[spiral atlas]

Thank you

[restive oxide]

yw

[severe merlin]

Kinda but not exactly. Nothing is “suppose” to happen. And there is no “correct” way.
Idea is that there is a town filled with stories. Some big, some small. Some are standalone, some connected. But one way or another, all stories are part of the bigger picture.
Characters have their goals, desires and circumstances.
Player got to interact with the world to explore, learn the stories and unravel mysteries. You play through this finite timeframe and learn more and more. Similar to Outer Wilds, but in our case world is not static - you got to change stuff to go deeper in to the story.

[restive oxide]

interesting

[near meadow]

The main story is mulitple stories that can be figured out if I continued to dig deeper and keep changing and exploring... I see

oh and another question, In prototype 2 there wasn't as much abandoned houses as advertised in the earlier screenshots of builds.

In prototype 3 will It have abandoned houses that are rotting?

As stated if I can recall, Raven brooks in this point of time is described as half abandoned, In alpha 1.5 of hn2 we could explore alot of abandoned locations. Will prototype 3 pull off the same thing?

[severe merlin]

What do you mean by “advertised in earlier screenshots”? What screenshots are you talking about?

[near meadow]

Im assuming these are abandoned locations correct?

alot of unused cars some are rusting away

[severe merlin]

Those were not screenshots of the Prototype 2. Those are exploring and concepting. These building are not specifically abandoned nor lived in. Just a style exploration.

[near meadow]

oh my bad

[near meadow]

In short, will there be more abandoned houses to explore in hn3? Like how there was in alpha 1.5 of hn2?

[severe merlin]

Each house requires time to develop. Currently we’re focusing on crucial locations. Some abandoned, some not. There will be things to explore.

[whole obsidian]

Will the Keys, which are synonymous with HN, return in Prototype 3?

[gentle pebble]

Can old locations return later builds

[sonic birch]

Do we know if the original neighbor house will return

The one from act 1 of HN1 and HN2

[celest ravine]

It needs to return abandoned and the guest roaming in it, just like hn2 alpha 1&1.5

[whole obsidian]

Who is @Hello Neighbor#4551

İts is bot

With Hn3 image

Official bot

[lethal scroll]

What level of change will be possible? In P2 the biggest I can think of is saving Jacob and Signed, but will you be able to make different characters friends with each other?

[lean warren]

Hello Nikita! Do you reply in private messages???

[whole obsidian]

Will Devlog 3 include footage from Prototype 0?

[tepid ember]

prob not

its to showcase newer builds

plus P0 was for ai testing purposes

[whole obsidian]

He said You guys will get footage from prototype 0

But not said when

[opaque summit]

he did?

i dont remember that

[untold grotto]

#hn3-discussion message

[cunning yacht]

can you share with us, please?

[lean warren]

I hope they'll let play!

[untold grotto]

prototype 0 is kinda unplayable ig

its AI vs AI

[spare trail]

wait so if prototype 0 is not RBO then RBO is prototype -1

[cunning yacht]

Wow, you're genius

[spare trail]

yeah ik 😏

[icy canyon]

The prototype of the prototype.

[queen sapphire]

no, cuz RBO is a different game

[obtuse hornet]

Like Hello Gust prototype… (lol.)

[sleek moat]

Ok I have a question about signed is he trying to lure you out of Ravenbrooks or something else

[lusty dove]

my only wonder for HN3 is: will there be 910 Friendly Court, neighbor's house? by now that house is too much foundation of HN

and in my opinion it should appear in HN3 too..

[opaque summit]

i hope we'll get to see it burn or whatever happened to it in hn1

[restive oxide]

hn3 likely happens after act 3
and you saw how his house was

burned down

[lusty dove]

after?

I really thought before

[restive oxide]

it's likely

after

act 3 was still a living town
hn3 is dead and abandoned

so

[lusty dove]

ok

it would be interesting if maybe only some boards of the house remain

but

the basement remained too

with the catacombs system

[restive oxide]

true

[lusty dove]

btw nicky was 12 in HN act 1

and I think 32-34 in act 3

so HN3 should be at least 25-30 years after HN1 act 1

so since theo was 50 in hn1 he should be 75 years old or + in HN3

right?

[nova atlas]

Idk

[nimble walrus]

Not rly

[obtuse hornet]

He would probably be in his young 70's.

[lethal scroll]

The real game will likely take place before act 3

Because Nikita said not everything is ran down

[restive oxide]

ok

[thick terrace]

act 3 looked dead asf

[untold grotto]

(nicky greets someone riding a bike in the credits)

[high brook]

nicky's last words: "hey"

[restive oxide]

neighbor at his funeral: "hello"

[thick terrace]

aka the only other personwe can see in the cutscene

or "hear"

[coral rune]

How would neib be speaking at his funeral

[spare trail]

i wonder, will the storm work like as some sort of "this many days before storm?" i feel like the player would have more time to explore with a week system instead of having to rush and make sure they dont get engulfed

[cunning yacht]

the storm? has'nt yet engulfed. so this means you can visit neighbors og house.
or the house has already been destroyed

[restive oxide]

nicky's funeral

[coral rune]

Oh

[restive oxide]

he said "nicky's last words"

[coral rune]

I read that wrong

[whole obsidian]

HN3 should have sleeping like Hn2 Alpha

[severe merlin]

As I said before - treat game more like Outer Wilds, rather than Majora's Mask.
You don't need to rush anything. Starting from the beginning is not "replaying" the game it's how you play it (just like Outer Wilds)

[arctic parcel]

If too assume hello neighbor 3 happens between act 2 and 3 in hello neighbor 1, when does hello neighbor 2 have to had happened?

[untold grotto]

hn2 is after act 2

and hn3 is probably after act 3

[arctic parcel]

What do you mean by after act 3

Act 3 is 99 procent a dream

So time doesn’t make sense then

You mean like after the entire game?

[untold grotto]

not a dream, self therapy

and i meant the moving parts of act 3

[arctic parcel]

So i mean like after the main character wakes up or when he goes to sleep

It doesn’t really make sense if it happens while sleeping

[untold grotto]

i meant after the entire game

[arctic parcel]

Yeah ok

Then i get it

I really hope they bring back the good running speed from hn1

But I understand it if they use hn2

[arctic parcel]

Also wait what do you mean by self-therapy

Like he is just imagining stuff

[untold grotto]

its like nicky feels what he do in his mind

its still in nickys mind tho

[arctic parcel]

But he does go to sleep when he lays on the couch

So does he just wake up

In the middle of the night

[untold grotto]

It begins with him having a panic attack and lying in an embryo pose on a sofa. But since in previous cases Nicky wakes up in a distress (act 2 in the basement, act 3 in his apartment, act 3 when “self-therapy” starts) “waking up” after act 3 is finished, is the first time he does this without distress. It’s first time in his life he is content. That’s why he “wakes up”. Not because it’s a dream, but to show that he is ok now.

[arctic parcel]

Ok I understand

Final question i have though

Is if hn2 is after act 2 why does it look so different from begin act 3

Are we just at a different part of town

[untold grotto]

wym

[arctic parcel]

Well if hello neighbor 2

Takes place after act 2

And before act 3

Why does the layout of everything change in hn2

And then revert when you reach act 3

[untold grotto]

gameplay elements

[silent ocean]

For plot convenience I guess

The hello neighbor lore isn't well thought out atall :p just gotta go with the flow really bc sometimes it just doesn't make sense

[normal cairn]

I'm not gonna lie but I really think that Hallo neighbor 3.After prototypes 3 and after we try it, I think it'll be it'll be a beta or demo and then the full game.I really hope i'm really excited for the game

[restive oxide]

after P3 will very likely be several alpha stages

[earnest cape]

I do hope they implement a psychological side to HN3s story like they did in HN1 and HN2, but not as much in the earlier titles.

[earnest cape]

Several is a bit much.

[obtuse hornet]

I do not think that there really would be any alphas, it would be logical from them to not wanting showing too much before the release of the game. (probably around end of 2026 or 2027.)

[restive oxide]

Nikita said they want to be open with the development iirc

[restive oxide]

maybe a little less then several

[woven lodge]

At least three.

[woven lodge]

Three prototypes, three alphas, and three betas.

Truly Hello Neighbor 3.

[proven dune]

hn3 characters

yes i will share my models too i am sharing this pictures because you will rate

ok?

ai or my

ok?

but not now im rigging

now

[restive oxide]

ai?

[wary kite]

Clearly.

[restive oxide]

sometimes it's just a bad model or weirdly made
so I don't know for sure

[urban steppe]

You can tell by how parts of the model are blending into each other weirdly, as well as other geometry errors and texture issues (there's a lot of texture artifacts on the shoes for example), on top of that it seems to be generated from Nikita's concept art as the shading and poses on it are the exact same, and there's incoherent textures and geometry on the back side because AI couldn't fill in the gaps.

[wary kite]

You can see all the usual artifacting and the details that just don't make sense and are blending together

[restive oxide]

ik it's ai

I've generated AI models before

[wary kite]

Gotcha

[urban steppe]

You just said you weren't sure...

[restive oxide]

cuz unless they say for certain you can never really know

[urban steppe]

Well most people posting like that won't admit it but you know

[restive oxide]

yea

[storm crown]

The cone is like:

[tepid ember]

its ai

[high brook]

ai slop

🤦‍♂️

[tepid ember]

*I slop in 2025

[obtuse hornet]

"Look at my Signed and Coned models, those are totally not ai generated, believe me!"

[magic flume]

Hey nikita do you think this game would have any sort of liminal esque locations such as a shopping mall or bowling alley?

[bronze heart]

I don't quite understand what will happen in Hello Neighbor 3. Will there be one true ending and different ways to achieve it? Or will there be different ways to achieve different endings? If the latter, how will we know which one is the true ending? Or will Hello Neighbor 3 have a similar concept to Undertale (memorizing actions and achieving different endings)?

[sonic birch]

Just checked into chat

[severe merlin]

Technically there are no “endings” at all in a typical sense.

[severe merlin]

You will know it in time 🙂

[urban steppe]

I'm really curious about that.
Obviously as you said the game is focusing on the story and the journey, but it has to have some sort of finish/end to it so I can't wait to see how that's handled.

[lusty dove]

yeah there must be like an official ending, to continue the whole HN story

[oblique parcel]

Stop using that

Its annoying

[burnt dust]

It’s probably just multiple “endings” like in the prototype. I’m curious if each ending will just be words popping up like in prototype or we might get a small cut scene of the “ending” we got.

[woven lodge]

LIARS!

[empty shell]

Tbh just popping text would be lame

small cutscenes would be def better

i had a dream today that neighbor was made hot again (i was so dissapointed when i woke up) 💔

[urban steppe]

omg are you the guy working on hn2ar no way

[woven lodge]

Best dream ever.

[empty shell]

true

[sonic birch]

never heard of it

i'm making a bendy game though

[empty shell]

omg nikita online

!!

[sonic birch]

get the gif.

[urban steppe]

the moderators should punish people for posting this gif all the time ngl

[empty shell]

dude this is so funny i cant 😭

[sonic birch]

no fun allowed ig

[woven lodge]

Can we get a fun police alarm too?

[empty shell]

nikita online literally feels like the dvd logo hitting the corner

[urban steppe]

It's not even funny, it's just spam, and this behavior is just weird, people lowkey just sitting here waiting for Nikita to be online and post this each time they see him.

[empty shell]

i consider it funny but okay ill stop. i can see why its seen as spam

[urban steppe]

It would've maybe been funny if someone did it once in a while instead of people starting to constantly spread the use of this gif.

[woven lodge]

I think if the gif isn't really used in rapid succession it can't really be spam.

[sonic birch]

it really is not that big of a deal chill out

[urban steppe]

Literally the person who made the gif doesn't want it to be used and says it's bad

[sonic birch]

who was that

[urban steppe]

Dizzy.

[oblique parcel]

It would be one thing if it was just used once as a joke But its being used everytime he is online

[sonic birch]

ok does Nikita care?

if he does, then it's good to stop

[oblique parcel]

Idk maybe maybe not

[sonic birch]

we don't need people talking on behalf of Nikita lol

anyway

hn3

[empty shell]

yeah lets change the topic

[urban steppe]

No one was.

[sonic birch]

changing the subject

...

[empty shell]

whos your favorite hn3 character?

[woven lodge]

Three.

[sonic birch]

covered but she dosen't exist in game yet

[empty shell]

shes so dang cool

i prefer coned tho i dont even know why

[nova atlas]

Maybe forest dweller or signed

[empty shell]

I wonder how dweller will look in the final version

He looks similar to coned but like I dont think theyre the same person

[untold grotto]

like the guest

[empty shell]

oh yeah

[cunning yacht]

this is really funny whenever someone does this but it got annoying 😦

[empty shell]

yeah I'm sorry about sending it

[cunning yacht]

send it to me in dm whenever his online

he indeed is online. but on a phone 🙂

[empty shell]

bro 😭

[cunning yacht]

just send it to me guys

in dm's

oh he is offline

NOOOOO

oops. you've spammed

LMAO

[slender basin]

Let's please do not spam

[empty shell]

Omg Hii!!!

[cunning yacht]

Mb gng wont happend again

something got into my mind.
a nikita offline version of alarm
and nikita online alarm would be a good combo

btw nikita on phone could also be a small triple combo.

[nocturne coral]

and trigger clementine

[cunning yacht]

oh hes back online.

[empty shell]

anyways back to hn3

[cunning yacht]

hello neighbor 3 alpha 472538 was the best. look how many features it had.

this is just a joke.
but i really hope that ropes gets a featured earlier than the neighbor.
its just my opinion

[cunning yacht]

RDR2 reference?

wow. i didn't realize

[cunning yacht]

pretty good drawing

I like it*

well. thank you

[tepid ember]

no it wouldnt

its still creepy

[royal storm]

how do i report bugs?

[opaque summit]

for what game?

[royal storm]

The Playtest for neighbor 3

[opaque summit]

its probably best just to say that you found a bug in the prototype 2 chat

[royal storm]

Ok i didn't know if there was a specific spot for it or if I should just put it in chat

[summer sand]

Good evening

[royal storm]

[tepid ember]

huh

[safe ice]

OMG DOAKES PFP????

DEXTER GANG PULL UP

[sleek moat]

I have a question, will there be locations from hn2 and hn1 in hello neighbor 3 maybe some are run down
or will there be new locations

[leaden zodiac]

my boy jacob (pronounced "Ya-ko-b") really loves his cake

[late heath]

why he so angry at you

[stiff osprey]

Maybe because he threw it at his head..

[summer sand]

Imagine that you just living your typical day in town, and some weirdo resorts to you, throws at you with bunch of cakes and runs away

[opaque summit]

hn3 lore

[spare trail]

some weirdo that strangely is a one to one copy of you

[restive oxide]

imagine being iris and watching Jacob throw cake at Jacob

[small patrol]

what did do to make him your enemy

😭

[restive thicket]

guys when HN3 is coming out?

[opaque summit]

not anytime soon

[cunning yacht]

nobody knows yet, but maybe 2026 or 2027

[cunning yacht]

What does it even have to do with Hn3?

[cunning yacht]

100% 2027

[restive thicket]

I will be dead

[bronze steppe]

W moderation

[dire python]

do you guys think quentin will be in Hn3?

[ocean wasp]

Idk

[opaque summit]

im guessing maybe as an easter egg but probably not more

[tough ore]

Better get nicky

[leaden zodiac]

i don’t know 😭 😭 😭

[woven lodge]

That's not true though!

[woven lodge]

Obituary when?

[mighty orchid]

Fell over half the game

[woven lodge]

He had the strongest arm strength out of all the protags he literally could scale entire buildings!

[autumn pivot]

this is me when i hear someone call my name when im home alone

[small needle]

guys

[summer sand]

What

[late heath]

Nicky flinging himself to space with a single trash bag be like

[restive oxide]

now better question
what Mr Peterson variant would win in a free for all with every neighbor

[late heath]

Animated series neighbor he can leave his home

[restive oxide]

true

but
HN1 neighbor can too

[late heath]

hn1 neighbor is too powerful for this world

[restive oxide]

yes

[late heath]

well pre-alpha neighbor can fly

and also ignore solid objects if he feels like it

[restive oxide]

true

I forgot this was hn3 discussion

[summer sand]

Neighbor war

[tepid ember]

get out

[opaque summit]

he could tho

[restive oxide]

except he can't scale a small fence 💔

[opaque summit]

he didnt want to ig

[ocean wasp]

I have a hope Hn3 will be a good game

[small sleet]

so far its decent, But im seeing alot of similarities to HelloGuest in the level design

[opaque summit]

they really won't have that advanced ai

[small sleet]

you think that
But currently the prototype uses the AI used in HN2
There is no real reason to have a neural network Ai based off of community feedback simply because it is extremely hard and impossible to impliment
the team does not have the time not budget to make it possible in its entirety

YES
it isn't possible currently

Because they were in a crisis when they were working on HN2 where they had developers who were in a litteral warzone

[late heath]

they have literally done that before twice now

[small sleet]

You can't exactly Do stuff you want when your team is facing Worldwide crisis

HN3 wouldn't be possible without Nikita

and yet you praise it

[late heath]

HN3 doesn't even really feel like a hello neighbor game, like sure it might be good but it probably won't be what people wanted out of the first two games.

[small sleet]

That's because Nikita wants to make it darker

[late heath]

It doesn't feel darker, in fact I'd say it's less dark in many areas

[small sleet]

It isn't
AI
it's an algorithm with pathing

[daring gyro]

i would not bet on that specifically

with all due respect

[small sleet]

AI shouldn't be a selling point for everything

[late heath]

we saw that with the first two games

[small sleet]

You do realise
The hello neighbour development team was a shit ton smaller before tiny build bought them
right

[daring gyro]

half the people got fired anyway so it's not that big anymore

[late heath]

hn1 was made by 5 people right

[small sleet]

fair but there wasn't really anything they could have done because they were in Russia and Ukraine

the team is still quite big
there's no harm in shifting up a story's ambience

like The previous teams already did it many times

shut up with the AI
not everything is AI

Don't bet on that

shit happens

[late heath]

I don’t think the ai is made to be the selling point of this game

[small sleet]

I feel like I'm talking to a charred brick

[late heath]

We all want HN3 to be good, but as of now we don’t have the evidence to prove that

[small sleet]

you can have a "perfect town experience" with great story telling without ai

[daring gyro]

ordinary HNG behaviour

[late heath]

modern society be like

[small sleet]

unfortunately there isn't any intellectual value in a charred brick

anyways, Don't bet on anything
HN3 is still prototype

have you even read the books

Hello neighbour 3 looks to be refresh
it doesn't need an advanced AI
it's fine how it is in the current prototype

Don't bet on past mistakes dorkus
Things change
Development changes
Not everything is a perfect utopia where a story is driven by AI
it's unorthodox and time consuming
don't bet on it

Hello neighbour has always had a story

it isn't Garten of banban

You can still do whatever the heccy you want in HN
no one can stop you
there are just limits to what the Devs can do

are you actually brain-dead or are you ragebaiting

yeah but you aren't the main character

[summer sand]

Hn3 is on most early stages. We cannot say if it would be good or bad, we don't have much information. Better to not lose hope but be prepared for worst .

[small sleet]

you say that
but it never wnds

They are a publisher running 40 other games
they will be fine

it was serious last game
it doesn't matter

ok you are actually living under a rock

you do realise that Eerie guest gets primarily value from marketing and merch right

it doesn't matter if the game goes well or not
they still get paid

wrong

oh so very wrong

I'm gonna go ahead and call <@&1162799252192379000> cos this is just
such an incorrect convo

anyways, im hoping that the game does alot more story telling, considering relationships seem to be a large point of it

[slender basin]

Hey folks, can we please chat about HN3?
We need to keep this channel focused so Nikita can check and answer your questions

[small sleet]

has anyone figured out how to access the dev console yet? i wanna see some technical stuffs :3

[graceful jay]

um.. moderators?

[wraith pawn]

[small sleet]

[empty shell]

I wonder if we can befriend neighbor too. That would be a dream come true to me 😭

[small sleet]

it might be possible since his inner demons are trauma related
with a littgle bit of demonics&

he just needs a hug

[empty shell]

I'm hugging my theo plushie everyday 🔥

[celest ravine]

Of course

[wraith pawn]

[modest canopy]

https://tenor.com/view/hero-carefully-he-is-a-hero-fallen-care-gif-27593423

[small sleet]

can you like
stop

this isn't minecrap

Accept what?
There isn't any point in arguing about a game that is in concept stage

[small sleet]

No one cares
It's a technical Prototype

Let them do whatever they want

[spare trail]

this is kind of bs now

just trust the process

god

stop arguing about small and tiny things

[main dove]

Mfw, its like 20%

It is nowhere near 1%

Where where where where wheeeerree is the proof?

Right

[main dove]

Oh

[small sleet]

Ok can we just ignore this guy at this point
I'm like 99% sure they are just ragebaitingnfor no reason

[tepid ember]

gng hes telling u abt how the stories gonna work

[small sleet]

I'm sorry but I assure you
AI is not going to be a focal point of the story.

AI can't solve everything

[tepid ember]

not that ai fartface

this

[small sleet]

yaknow there's ways to do that without ai right

[tepid ember]

maybe ur the one ragebaiting idk

cuz nikita already confirmed the games gonna be determined by what we do in it

thats why theres gonna be no cutscenes

[mighty orchid]

Are you confused with in game ai or you talking about ai like what’s all over the internet

[tepid ember]

idk

[tepid ember]

hes talking abt ts

[small sleet]

I'm not ragebaiting, What I'm saying is emporer is so caught up with the game being a sandbox with advanced AI that they don't care about the story at all
but it isn't a sandbox, and you can't bet on there being an AI like they promised before
I know what I'm talking about.

and ai as in
the neural network tiny build promised before stuff happened in the world

Storytelling can be determined in so many ways, Not just in a bot roaming around

Environmental, Journals, Hazards, Etc

[tepid ember]

😭

ur dense

[mighty orchid]

Ok I see your point I was just thinking environmental

[small sleet]

did you even read the entire chatlog before this

[tepid ember]

why would i read a chatlog i have a life

[mighty orchid]

But with the neural network I don’t think that’s even a thing for this one

[tepid ember]

its not

didny they already say neural network is dumb without acc testing

[small sleet]

P much, that's what I said before, I feel the base pathfinding rn with relationships is pretty decent

Could use some quests

[mighty orchid]

I don’t know I just remember they did say it was going to be in HN2 but obviously we all know how that went so I won’t even explain more there.

[tepid ember]

no?

top 10 things that happened

trust

[small sleet]

Yeah but you also have to remember they were on a severe to.ecrunch due to them being located in Ukraine and russia

it isn't really anyone's fault considering it was a severe economic problem

just Devs of a half gone team hyping a promise they made before stuff happened

[tepid ember]

that was in hn2 alpha stage tho

[mighty orchid]

Yea it just leads into a very long chat with that stuff and I don’t really want to bring up something that’s been discussed here dozens of times

[small sleet]

ye

[tepid ember]

yes i agree go to #off-topic or allat

[small sleet]

ye
but Yeah I was saying, HN already deals with environmental storytelling, even if it is rather weak

I feel that it's weakest points are direction

[tepid ember]

the lores pretty buns anyways

no hate to tb

but including the books as "official" lore was dumb

[mighty orchid]

I liked the books but I much prefer things being shown through games

So I would hope HN3 shows a good amount

[small sleet]

I feel like HN3 is supposed to be the game that tries to rewrite the entire story
The style is rather different while keeping the charm, the town is entirely different and the lore is slightly similar

[tepid ember]

fr the books being canon js doesnt sit right with me

[mighty orchid]

The books I’m ok with. I just prefer things to be more clear and in games than having to go to other media to understand the story.

[small sleet]

well think about it
this is supposedly another area in which there is an amusement park inside raven brooks
the town is quite small
maybe this is like a prequel
When theador got his starts

Before raven brooks got bigger

[mighty orchid]

I think it’s set in the future but I can’t remember where I heard that or if I’m just not evening making sense

[small sleet]

Even then, you'd think there would be more buildings and a city in the backround

I think this might actually just be a story rewrite

[mighty orchid]

Well I can’t say much for that since it’s still prototype

[untold grotto]

theres no canonical appearance of town ig

[untold grotto]

just like neighbors house

[small sleet]

even then
the neighbour isn't in this prototype

[untold grotto]

it changes on every media due to gameplay or story elements

[small sleet]

The house was originally in a similar wooded area, And the prototype reminds me of the HelloGuest Prototypes, Just with much less

HGP was supposed to be a prototype for the area surrounding the theme park, But for some reason the area for raven brooks is extended small and only has a population of 4

Which doesn't exactly make alot.of sense

especially considering in the show raven brooks is massive

[mighty orchid]

The population thing in the prototype? I just assume that’s like the welcome to alpha 3 thing with the first game and it’s not canon

[untold grotto]

i mean its a non-canon internal build

[small sleet]

Fair enough, But considering the current scale of it and the supposed secrets there it seems rather small
especially considering the Forest thing that kills you if you even stray a foot into a patch of trees, or the storm that immediately kills you for no reason

[untold grotto]

forest dweller is the guest

and it wont be in just forests only

he will be in dark areas

[mighty orchid]

Well the storm is just when you run out of time

I don’t know how much time you have though

[untold grotto]

and raven brooks is a town famous for storm

[small sleet]

not really
if you attempt to go OOB you get killed by it

true, But I feel like if it's going to be an OuterWilds inspired game, it should have more in terms of

exploration

instead of yaknow
random obstructions that immediately kill you if you go away from light for 5 seconda

[mighty orchid]

In one of the dev logs Nikita said that there wouldn’t be any extra buildings to fluff up the map. I’m assuming this means no background buildings out of the map? Then I could see what you mean with how big the town is and how it feels small but that’s probably just some gameplay thing

It’s like how in HN2 the town feels very squished

[small sleet]

well the game seems darker and more sinister
I would t be surprised if the game gets a lore rewrite with this take considering there isn't a 3 on the Prototype Logo

[untold grotto]

there is actually

[mighty orchid]

The older logo I don’t think had a 3

[small sleet]

no not that logo
this logo

[untold grotto]

yeah it didnt

[small sleet]

it's the current game icon too

[untold grotto]

but now the current logo has 3

[mighty orchid]

Well they probably didn’t update it

[small sleet]

On the steam page yea
it isn't even in the gamefiles

its supposed to look like a corvid's eye when you take away the letters

[main dove]

I never realized that there was a redesign for the logo tbh

[small sleet]

Cycle, Butterfly effect, Follow the rabbit?

[mighty orchid]

Apparently you can see the rabbit and butterfly in the new logo but I have yet to find the butterfly which I could just be blind

[small sleet]

well it seems that the banner isnt yet complete considering the fact it looks burnt on the playtest page in library

i feel like the current steam logo isnt coxmplete

[untold grotto]

pretty sure both logo and keyart is not final

[mighty orchid]

Yea some sort of meaning for it but I’m no expert on that so I wouldn’t know what it means

[small sleet]

none of it is, but the current ingame logo looke a hell of alot more complete without a 3

i wouldnt be surprised if there was a rewrite of lore

Eerie guest has revealed names of games to be different multiple times already

[untold grotto]

#hn3-discussion message

he said this about reboot or soft reboot

[mighty orchid]

Maybe at some point they’ll do some reboot since those are more popular now

[untold grotto]

theres a upcoming hn1 remake

[small sleet]

Well, he didnt deny it
but people have been aching for a proper reboot

[untold grotto]

that would be sort of hn1 lore rewrite (ig it will be more like improving the current lore rather than deleting everything and writing from scratch)

[small sleet]

it isnt official tho

[untold grotto]

it is

[mighty orchid]

I would associate rewrite with hard reboot not soft. So I personally don’t expect it to redo everything with hn3 but I don’t know

Well Alex said that while they were updating hn2

[small sleet]

considering the artstyle change, i wouldnt be surprised if HN3P is actually the drop for the remake

[untold grotto]

alex literally said team prototyped it but then moved to hn3, and they will return after hn3

[mighty orchid]

The hn1 remake I mean

[untold grotto]

nah, he also mentioned it again like 4 month ago ig

[mighty orchid]

That was the last I heard it

I had assumed it wasn’t much of a thing after hn3 was announced

[untold grotto]

well egs prototyped it at sometime on 2024

*half of egs

[small sleet]

who knows, HN3 might be the rewrite
hello guest turned out to be the drop for HN2, its possible HN3 might just be a rewrite of HN1 considering the primitive-ness of ravenbrooks

[mighty orchid]

Was it a remake or just remaster?

I don’t remember the wording

[small sleet]

HN3 did come out of nowhere

[untold grotto]

remake

[small sleet]

especially so close to when HN2 released

could be a remake disguised

[untold grotto]

HN3 was planned to be a multiplayer HN game codenamed RBO or Raven Brooks Online, first PVP, then coop after a concept change

but they couldnt make it due to certain reasons

[small sleet]

Im guessing it was also built partially off HelloGuest considering the assets, Considering that was found in a secretneighbor easter egg, its entirely possible that they are just trying to loop people around

[urban steppe]

What are you smoking

[small sleet]

400mg of caffien

[urban steppe]

And no, HN3 is not built off of Hello Guest, it looks crude right now because obviously it's a prototpye and nothing is finished right now just like HG was.

[untold grotto]

we are havin professional convo here!

[small sleet]

i suppose, however there are assets leftover from HelloGuest

[mighty orchid]

They probably got tired of people like me complaining about the authentication error for SN on console and decided not again with online multiplayer even though now I realized that wasn’t even their fault or the game.

[urban steppe]

In HN3? No.

There were in HN2, but that's the same game.

[small sleet]

i swear the models for some items are the exasct same

[untold grotto]

its like

zero

[whole obsidian]

Wdym

[mighty orchid]

What looks the same?

I can’t really think of it off the top of my head

[whole obsidian]

[small sleet]

Binoculars, flashlights, crowbar, the textures for golden items, the tectures for just gold

[tepid ember]

hello neighbor in 2025 is tuff

[mighty orchid]

By HG you mean the prototype of it or the other one? I only played the other one and I barely remember the items.

[small sleet]

prototype

[urban steppe]

HG prototpye used assets from HN1 with no textures as placeholders, HN3 uses a somewhat similar style for items just more detailed.

[small sleet]

In my defence, it is still entirely possible for HN3P to become HN1 rewritten

[mighty orchid]

So both being prototypes I guess makes sense with items looking similar in terms of being without textures or whatever makes them look finished.

[mighty orchid]

Sure if they have already rewritten it and could just lay out that in hn3 but then people would be confused why it doesn’t match up with previous games.

Not that the games are very good at connecting anyways

[small sleet]

plus the game was kinda originally intended to be more profane

[grim lark]

Hn3 and hn1 are not the same thing

Like far from it

[small sleet]

youch they really locked down the prototypes

[daring gyro]

no your uuu doesn't work with ue5

[tall pulsar]

😭

[small sleet]

wait its UE5??
it reports as UE4

[restive oxide]

5.4

yup

[small sleet]

[tepid ember]

what a nerf

uuu wouldt even help that much tho lowk

except maybe jn speedruns

[small sleet]

yeesh even with UUE5 its locked down

[small sleet]

got the freecam to work

not much tbh

[dark bison]

Nikita, will the player character be named in the final product, or will they forever be known as The Stranger?

[woven lodge]

Character creation screen where you get to name them?! 😮

[brave thunder]

try ue4ss

the newest beta supports ue5.4

and you're able to use console

[woven lodge]

I'm pretty sure I used UUU on the prototype before.

I think I used the paid version though.

[high brook]

no way u paid for it?

tats kinda

uhh

a little bit waste of money but ok

[woven lodge]

It's not a waste of money to help people who give away useful tools for free, plus it was for a paid version that works better.

[summer sand]

It was. But after Hn2 failure it was cancelled. Maybe they will do Hn1 remake after Hn3.

[restive oxide]

no one said it was cancelled

[summer sand]

Really? I just heard somewhere about it

I hope we will get Hn1 remake look like in the first alphas

[restive oxide]

it wouldn't look like that

hn was never even intended to look like that

[summer sand]

Under "look" I meant the concept, sorry for my english

[restive oxide]

ok

[summer sand]

First alphas of hn1 were more sinister and mysterious. I hope tiny build won't "tie hands" of developers again.

[sleek moat]

How do u use uuu for ue5

[limpid pewter]

you cant

well theres an unofficial one but you need to pay money for it

[small sleet]

not neccessarily

they have ways put up to compile it yourself

[tepid ember]

theres countless mods for that

[summer sand]

Mods are mods. There no much of planned things like supposed to be in the first concepts of hn

[small sleet]

the closest thing you're going to get is the dark artstyle of HN3

[summer sand]

I hope that unused things from the first games will be used in Hn3

[untold grotto]

nope

[spare trail]

its him

[severe merlin]

[magic flume]

NOOOOO

honestly tho, the stranger sounds really cool

[severe merlin]

Are you people ready for another sneak peek?

[magic flume]

YES

[broken galleon]

yes

[severe merlin]

So, lets vote!

[narrow gust]

Yes

[cunning yacht]

Yess

[narrow gust]

What will happen if this vote is tied?

[severe merlin]

Then my vote will be final 🙂

[agile kelp]

More character pics 🙏🏻

[lunar trail]

yay more hn3

[sonic birch]

did he mean to put 2D twice

[agile kelp]

ART

[lunar trail]

its 2 different 2d stuff

at least thats what i think so

[opaque cosmos]

Yeah

Either the baby or the chef

I'm team baby

[agile kelp]

babby

[twilit crest]

Baby really interesting person)

[solemn gyro]

cooker

hmm

[solemn gyro]

im interested

[cunning yacht]

Maybe new baker?

Yeah right

Baby

[west crag]

oh damn Historian already getting a 3d blockout

Is the baby gonna be an actual baby will you have to take care of it like Tattletail so it doesnt alert the parents

Playing Hello Neighbor 3 and I enter The Baby House and see a 1 year old orphan get up on its legs and pick up a whole nightstand to throw at me

Okay I just realized what I explained is just the baby from REPO

What if theyre adding the baby from REPO

[soft tartan]

Please bring back the intelligence of the Guest from alpha HN2 1, 1.5. He was just gorgeous and I still admire him!

[agile kelp]

Wait

Yall

Vote chef

[west crag]

But I want to see the Hello Baby

[sonic birch]

no you don't

i wanna know if the chef is the baker from hello neighbor 2

[peak solar]

probably not

I don't think HN3 will have much that gets revisited

the only thing I think would exist since the Neighbor's confirmed is maybe his burnt down house from Act 3?

[solemn gyro]

maybe, who knows ??

[solemn gyro]

yeah

oooh damn

13 minutes

we don't have much time

[peak solar]

unless someone built over it since then, but I don't think the town was doing the best by then

[west crag]

I still wonder what the "Angel" and "Old Man" from the Historian vote are

[cunning yacht]

show me da baby

[solemn gyro]

dababy.

[cunning yacht]

lets go dababy

[solemn gyro]

https://youtu.be/DcRLTClL5YU?si=rC4jgBZPKFsKCl5i

[cunning yacht]

yeah thats what the reference. keep it on topic

[narrow gust]

4 minutes left

[west crag]

3 minutes until baby

[agile kelp]

Noooo

[cunning yacht]

if da baby looked like this >< dude
i'd keep da baby

[sonic birch]

what

[solemn gyro]

damn(

[severe merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/i-just-a-baby-baby-im-just-a-baby-gif-25143652

[tall sorrel]

please people vote Chef

[solemn gyro]

i want to see cooker, but alright

[opaque summit]

real

[agile kelp]

No

[solemn gyro]

we have a some child

[agile kelp]

We already got a chefffff

[peak solar]

either that, or

someone who used to be, but grew up

but I don't think it would be Aaron, since his story's over

[vernal osprey]

thats probably another chef not gerda wdym

[cunning yacht]

you know if the baby not good. then i yeet it 🚹
but i think the cooker reveal would be unique too
but nikita cooks better than his cooker

[agile kelp]

👍🏻

[sonic birch]

is this a riddle or am i confused

[agile kelp]

9:38

[solemn gyro]

for real

[agile kelp]

Time for the baby

[peak solar]

it's fun how Nikita can just come up with this many character designs

[cunning yacht]

9:38 for me too

[opaque summit]

aww

[solemn gyro]

uhhh

[cunning yacht]

yeah show me dababy

[agile kelp]

Heh

[opaque summit]

i wanted chef 😦

[solemn gyro]

for me 16:39

[solemn gyro]

me too

[agile kelp]

🐟

[oblique parcel]

Yeah me too

[tall sorrel]

same here

but eh

[agile kelp]

Chef mid brah

[solemn gyro]

but damn

[tall sorrel]

we get what we get

[solemn gyro]

we have some child

alright

let's see

[narrow gust]

Don't worry we'll see what they cooked later

[opaque summit]

yeah

[cunning yacht]

is it irises child. because i see no other people only the vitch and jacob signed coned

[solemn gyro]

xD

[peak solar]

I also love how this is I think the first HN Game that goes into town history this much

[opaque summit]

id kinda love that

[solemn gyro]

i don't think so

[opaque summit]

me neither

[cunning yacht]

wait. i think it the women vandilizer's child

[opaque summit]

(covered)

[cunning yacht]

yeah

[tall sorrel]

yeah
like only other game I can think of having ANY lore that dates to the early history of RB is HN2
but even there it's all implied or only stated within steam posts and the RBBArchives.

[sweet lagoon]

❤️

[solemn gyro]

i have some nonsense thought

nicky ?

[peak solar]

We already saw him though

[solemn gyro]

that's a nonsense

but

[peak solar]

the best guess I had would be Aaron

[agile kelp]

Dropppp Nicky alreadyyy

[tall sorrel]

and I don't think Steam Posts, Steam Descriptions, and the RBBArchives should even count

[peak solar]

we never saw him in the future

[opaque summit]

steam posts??

[west crag]

I think it would be funny if it was just an actual baby

[summer sand]

By knowing the style of hn3 ... It looks not out of place

[solemn gyro]

wait

[lunar trail]

why would an actual baby be an NPC

[opaque summit]

what if its a gnome

[lunar trail]

I mean you cant really fit a baby into HN3's gameplay unless it's with a parent

[west crag]

because its funny

[tall sorrel]

so we got 3 characters thus far we are gonna have to wait to find out about
(represented by Nikita using the
🧑‍🍳
👼
and 👴
emojis respectively)

[peak solar]

doesn't have to be literal, since the witch in the first poll ended up being a town historian

[opaque summit]

that aint a baby

[west crag]

oh little baby isaac

[agile kelp]

Oh it’s the baby

[lunar trail]

its a kid

[solemn gyro]

oh damn

[peak solar]

oh. it's isaac.

[solemn gyro]

kid

[solemn gyro]

wait-

[eager nexus]

Child

[agile kelp]

Isaac is a little kid

[west smelt]

the character looks like a character

[peak solar]

just a guess though

[west crag]

OH THATS ISAAC

[solemn gyro]

witch grandson ?

[west crag]

ISAAC IS A TODDLER

[obtuse hornet]

Isacc looks short lmao

[lunar trail]

kids going missing around in RB again

[solemn gyro]

hm

[summer sand]

Its a plane

[verbal crown]

Dead ahh Game

[solemn gyro]

XD

[quartz canopy]

oh my god it a baby

[verbal crown]

[quartz canopy]

it a little toddler

[tall sorrel]

people voted baby

[quartz canopy]

my little tiny baby boy

[tall sorrel]

they got baby

[peak solar]

actually wait, that wouldn't match

[lavish ravine]

Is a boy

???

[loud karma]

Who gave bro that oversized sweater

[opaque summit]

i wonder what the runes mean

[west smelt]

this character looks very much like a character in my opinion

[fleet quarry]

homeless man

[sweet lagoon]

никита. ваш ы дизанйы прекрансны❤️

[lavish ravine]

Is a kid ?

[solemn gyro]

really... !?

[maiden hornet]

the baby deserves be a participant too

[tender mulch]

New characters are coming to hello neighbor 3

[rigid knoll]

Hi!

[glass arch]

Really

[fleet quarry]

hello neighbor without the house

[lavish ravine]

My baby 😭😭😭😭😭

[peak solar]

actually no, they're way older

[west crag]

Oh wait is it Isaac's kid
Is Isaac a missing parent

[peak solar]

it wouldn't be Isaac

[west crag]

and his kid is now living alone

[glass arch]

I want try first in my YouTube Channel

Really that

[peak solar]

this would make more sense?

[lavish ravine]

I think it is

Issac is a kid ? 😭

[tall sorrel]

holy peak

[obtuse hornet]

I like his design a lot but he is short XD

[normal cairn]

I don't know if it's just me but I think isaac might be the neighbor like what if the neighbor faked his identity if you know what I mean

[severe merlin]

This boy is around 10 years old.

[lavish ravine]

FR

[meager walrus]

who is the purple blue kid

[tall sorrel]

I mean...
we voted kid
we got kid

[lilac forge]

Who is the new character

[lavish ravine]

HOLY MOLY

[quartz canopy]

oh such a little baby toddler boy he is.

[obtuse hornet]

Wait, so there are kids in the town even it if abandonned ?

[tall sorrel]

people voted kid in a character poll and got kid

[timid pivot]

I dont like it

[loud karma]

A missing parent with the kid trying to look for his father in hello neighbor is new

[lilac forge]

It might be kids in a ghost town

Idk 😂

[rigid knoll]

So the goal of the game is to find Isaac?

[lavish ravine]

QUESTION, will this child live alone in Rsven Brooks or will you have a relative or a small house?

[tired kelp]

ye the character looks bad

[opaque summit]

wdym

[maiden hornet]

should have been chef

[peak solar]

I guess some of the residents thought it would've been safe to keep them in this place

[tall sorrel]

there is no goal in HN3
if you WANT to do that you can
but you don't have to.

[lilac forge]

Don’t tell me the games gonna look like that

[maiden hornet]

chef would have been awesome

[normal cairn]

The pic of Issac does not look like the kid its more like Mr peterson kind of face shape

[peak solar]

technically nobody really went missing during HN1

[severe merlin]

It's not "abandoned"-abandoned. It's just on the verge of being abandoned. Some people are still living there.

[rough lark]

Sheep guy

[tired kelp]

fr

[obtuse hornet]

I hope we will able to pat him lmao

[lavish ravine]

QUESTION, will this child live alone in Rsven Brooks or will you have a relative or a small house?

[peak solar]

it's definitely gonna be abandoned once the storm hits though.

[lilac forge]

Ur so gay

[tired kelp]

lol

[lavish ravine]

LOL

[civic totem]

Isaac is a little kid?

[lavish ravine]

[maiden hornet]

maybe a hut in the woods

[loud karma]

I can see the historian being a caretaker for this kid

[near meadow]

This might be aaron too

[lavish ravine]

I think

[agile kelp]

Isaac son

[peak solar]

nope, Isaac is older

everyone's just guessing

[solemn gyro]

QUESTION !!

is this the witch's grandson?

[severe merlin]

He is not living alone

[lavish ravine]

MY BOY 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[agile kelp]

Issac son

[cunning yacht]

nvm i'd yeet da baby

[celest plank]

i thought he looks like aaron but thats unlikely

[lilac forge]

[celest plank]

aaron is probably grown up atp

[obtuse hornet]

Oh , I see. Interesting , a lot

[lavish ravine]

OH NEW INFORMATION

[tall sorrel]

Isaac's child I think...

[obtuse hornet]

Just what ?

[lavish ravine]

Hey

[peak solar]

comically large clothing that doesn't fit

[normal cairn]

I feel like hn3 prototypes 3 is on 27 of September

[silent ocean]

I absolutely adore the design principles for all these new characters - the exaggerated bodies and the distinct colours are so cool

[near meadow]

“Some of you might figure this out”

[obtuse hornet]

[lavish ravine]

You think that ?

[near meadow]

Its prolly aaron

[cunning yacht]

thats close to my birthday

[peak solar]

are any of us time travellers?

[lavish ravine]

Your idea bro 😭😭😭😭😭

[peak solar]

I don't think it would be that, since he's grown up by now

[near meadow]

Oh yeah

Forgot

[peak solar]

(and if it was, he would've looked more like he did in HN1)

[west crag]

Wait a minute

[lilac forge]

Who here thinks hello neighbour mods are ruining the game

[normal cairn]

I mean evrey prototype type was on a 27th day of month

[peak solar]

it's not intended I think, though

[west crag]

the sweater has the same symbols on it as the historian
did the Historian take him under her protection 😭

and knit him a sweater

[severe merlin]

not HN3 topic, my friend

[peak solar]

oh

[wary kite]

Weird Little Guy alert!!!

[peak solar]

that makes a LOT more sense

[obtuse hornet]

Wait I don't understand

[solemn gyro]

i swear - historian grandson

[agile kelp]

Little boy historian adopted son

[lavish ravine]

THE IDEA FOR KICK AH KID

😭😭😭😭😭

[celest plank]

bro i love the style hn3 is going with

[lavish ravine]

Me too

[celest plank]

imo the best one in all of hn

[summer sand]

I hope Mr Peterson will lock him in the basement

[solemn gyro]

I'm sorry if you're already tired of this question, but what about Imbir ?? I have an idea on how to display him in the game and I really want to share it with you

[lavish ravine]

😭😭😭😭😭

[lilac forge]

Whens the release again

[peak solar]

Also love how they're not afraid to make drastic changes, or go with some more interesting ideas

[wind rivet]

I love the hn3 art style

[lavish ravine]

Me too

[wind rivet]

its genuinley my favorite game art style in so long

[narrow gust]

What is it with "mascot horror" and kids going missing? ( if this is Isaac )

[lilac forge]

?

[obtuse hornet]

AHHH XD
This would be funny , wouldn't it ? Even we probably won't be able to do that

[empty shell]

Oh my god the new character looks so sweett

[narrow gust]

It's unknown

[lavish ravine]

😭😭😭

[lean finch]

Harley

[summer sand]

We may just throw things in him

[celest plank]

i like how a lot of hn games were released in december

[obtuse hornet]

He surely is dead , it's a cat

[celest plank]

ggives good vibes

[peak solar]

Likely the Historian's (son? grandson?)

[summer sand]

Why everyone so violent to children

[summer sand]

Ignore this

[solemn gyro]

hn is unpredictable.

[normal cairn]

So i guess after prototype 3 it will be either a demo or beta then the full game i don't want it to be the last one tho

[lavish ravine]

[west crag]

Either that or it's Isaac's kid and when Isaac went missing the Historian took him under her care and knit him a sweater
Which is what I will believe until it's proven otherwise

[wind rivet]

its probably because the first game is about a kid being captured 😭

[celest plank]

hoh i knew it

[tall sorrel]

!

[obtuse hornet]

Ah yes , the cat is secretly magic and he can live longer than 25 years ?

[peak solar]

that would actually be kinda heartwarming

[lavish ravine]

ISAAC IS A KID 😭😭😭 ?

[peak solar]

hope we can find Isaac either way

[obtuse hornet]

YES

[lavish ravine]

Good idea for my fangame 👍

[solemn gyro]

who knows ? in hn everything can happen. and that too

[celest plank]

does the neighbor have anything to do atp

[obtuse hornet]

Because it is funny (in video games)

[peak solar]

not really. Nobody knows what he'll do

[normal cairn]

Do u guys think this is the last we will see hello neighbor

[peak solar]

his house burnt down ages ago

[obtuse hornet]

[celest plank]

i mean inthe previous games he was hiding his secrets and stuff but now i doubt the police is even searching for him

[loud karma]

He's probably still hiding just from a distance everywhere

[west crag]

I hope its something along the lines of that because that would be really nice

Now we have both the concept arts Nikita showed snippets of

[normal cairn]

How long have you guys known hello neighbor

[celest plank]

is peterson even old or is it the artstyle

[west crag]

he's old

[celest plank]

didnt nikita say the ages dont matter or someth
