I'm guessing he will be in the alpha versions
In the concept art he looked like his age was around his late 60s to early 70s not 85 so why wasn’t the art according to age
Yeah definitely
I'm so curious how he will play out though
I hope they make his chin a little smaller than the concept art but apart from that I like his design
Probably because a realistic 85 year old wouldn't make for a good antagonist
his chin gets longer and droopier with age
I hope my question is answered
and in hn3 it's like 100% fat tissue and you can whack it around
By 100 it’s gonna touch the ground
Will disappoint you 🙂
he has exactly the same chin
His chin is too iconic ✌️
hello neighbor 8
Alright fair enough
At least I have closure now
well if hes that old he will be a bit droopy looking
the neighbor lowkey lost a lot of weight
ive seen fan models and if hes anything like those i think itll be pretty hello swagbor
it all went to the chin trust
😭
does that mean a model of him exists currently
Jaw droppingly so. Except not our jaws, his jaw, cuz his chin is just weighing it down
guys what the chin looks normal to me
There's probably a blockout version
yea thats why i said a model
his brain is in his chin thats why his heads so small
So I have a theory the police that have season 3 the neighbor got arrested again for good and then when hn3 takes place he’s released from prison
hes 85 in this mate
Insert chin jumpscare
takes place a wee bit after that
So when does hn3 take place
2028
we know he's 85 in hn3, and that he was born 1943
It’s confirmed that it’s 2028
so 2028 is likely the year
Ya
1927
Friends, the game will take place in 2030, right?
Is there a model of the guest also?
I’m so excited for p3
i hope theo can still run
Unless it's 2029 and he hasn't had his birthday yet 🤔
2028 so close enough
2028, more likely
Okey
Well it is early spring so possibly
I doubt at such a age he will
People's guess is after HN1 Act 2 and HN2, but probably before HN1 Act 3 if I am not mistaken.
Yeah I always thought it would be somewhere between 2024 to 2028
just saying shit at this point
nah sosed was born at midnight on january first
I'm so hyped man I can't wait to play this
2028 if the neighbors 85
Will the neighbor's date of birth be 1943?
I wonder if Tall Guy is still real
The tall guy is a placeholder guest
I just realized we didn't get a proper sneak peek of the grocery worker guy
But we get to see his 3d block out in these pieces of new footage
So is the forest dweller
We need more tall guy content
Damn
aww shucks
if you squeeze sosed's chin three times he tells you the secrets of the scrapped hn1 storlines like they're war memories
thats true
Because if it would be after HN1 Act 3, then Nicky would show up probably roaming around the HN3 map.
Yoo nikita
About that 3d blocking reveal votes
:3
I feel like hn3 is about 10 to 15 years after act 3
act 3 was confirmed to take place when the game came out
Of course
No it’s not
like 11 yearsafter
Yeah can we get the grocery worker 3d block out
Like an image
I think... I miss Tall Guy
Isn’t this right afterr act 3?
no
Maybe a few months?
True
So it’s 11 years
Prototype 3 looks really good for a prototype
Those are release dates thii
act 3 was confirmed to take place when hn1 game out, which is 2017
and we know the neighbor is 85 in hn3, and that his birthday was 1943
HN3 is going to happen irl in 3 years guys!
is it the green guy
this tells us the date for hn3 is around 2028, which is 11 years after 2017
whats his name again
WOOOOOOHH
janusz
janusz i think?
I feel like when he was a arrest for a second time they demolished his house in that time and when he came back he had to rebuild it somewhere else differently
yeah janusz
Ideally it should come in December 2027
i've seen people say it was destroyed in a storm
you can just see his model in one of the vids
not fully sadly but yea
two of them
I honestly hope we get more about the player character and who they are
This bad character yes
we are
us
one he's just like walking up to the old woman, and the other he's just waltzin by
for now
middle aged nicky roth
Janusz..
we ARE in raven brooks..
thats my fault
So now we know the historian, coned, covered, and Jansuz is in prototype 3
Literally 1:1
coned too??
woah
Yeah
whole town is in here
Basically except for the neighbor
Isaac is probably there too by now id assume
well
I bet when ever they make a 3d blockout they will be in the next game
ooo we finally got some hn3 gameplay?
dweller is a placeholder tho
a model for him probably exists but i don't think he'll be in p3 for the reason the guest wasn't in the other prototypes
so we going from 3 AIs in Prototype 1 and 2 to 8 in Prototype 3
thats funny
I rly wonder will there be a possible way to save people that got captured by The Forest Dweller.
right about time (when everyone started complaining)
not confirmed it's just what i think

Nahh same stance and proportions too
Isn’t the forest protector just a place holder guest
They finally found bigfoot
It's genuinely insane how much the prototypes have evolved from each other
i love how most old members in this chat rn are back from the dead
whaaaaa
P2 isn't THAT different from P1
The difference between each prototype is crazy
Though I still like some of the building designs in prototype 2
Wut?
do we even know why raven brooks was abandoned
Okay i quit guys see you later
Imma be fr isaacs house in prototype 2 really looks the most cozy and normalish if you ignore the giant holes on the floor
It literally isnt
nicky roth moved in and everyone saw how stretched out his idle animation was and left immediately
Its half abandoned remember
HOW LONG WAS PROTO 3 IN DEVOPMENT FOR ?
Playing Prototype 3 when it releases and watching Jacob crash his car again but the second he gets out an 8 foot tall lanky dude speeds out of the forest and drags him into the night
"With no hurry" The storm

maybe you can disable the storm or something
three days (lie)
quite a bit (truth)
Months
bro what it is
there probably arent more than like 50 people living in that area
which hn3 character do we think is the neighbor who said hello to mr roth at the end of hn1
My grandpa lives in a Town with probably less than 30 people on it
and that isn't abandoned
hello neighbor ahh town
is your grandpa the hello neighbour
true
I guess raven Brooks is half abandoned because no one's bothered to repair their homes
:O
can i throw a flash light at a grandma to knock her out in hn3
okay mean guy mean fella evil elder abuse
i say, despite suggesting pushing elderly neighbor down the stairs earlier
Signed literary has a hole in the middle of his bathroom floor in prototype 2
Signed the type of guy to cover a giant hole on the floor with a carpet
imagine you can actually do that and signed falls in
like the stupid idiot they are
THIS was my theory on how long i think proto 3 took
Relateable
I can’t wait to hit 100 when the 3rd prototype comes out❗
I thought originally she was delivering a package or something
Janusz looks nice
So what’s happening in that clip
With iris and the historian
idk but the Historian is just sitting there reading a book
maybe they were just talking or something
And presumably prototype 3 should come out like in October or later this month
Right
hopefully 27th
Bro spent more time playing the prototypes then the developers
My playtime is 23 hours
Discoverd anything interesting?
one of the new vids is named janusz 😭
yea thats the characters name
Nothing other than the dweller house
I wonder what kind of NPC Janusz will be interacting with others
Janusz is soo cool
I think the npcs will look at yoy for a few seconds
yeah and he looks exactly like typical Polish Janusz
or slavic
just
That's what I saw inn one of the videos new feature I think
Prototype 3 looks so majestic oh my god 😭
At the end of this clip, you can hear what seems to be a chicken or another type of bird. Do you think it's a new feature for the guest, or new chicken npc, or just a sound effect? I personally think it'd be really funny IF the guest in future builds would able to steal chickens and toss them at the player (just like how he threw garbage bags at the player in Hello Neighbor 2 alpha 1).
Even at the grocery store video that happened
I like the aesthetic of the game, Nikita is doing a great job I love the supermarket building
Imagine this is luring the town people to these noises in the forest
So the guest can catch them
That'd be so cool
22.8 hours in hn3 lol
Skipper is coming back!!!!
I’m gunna save all prototypes so I have them all to play lol
More eerie now than LN3
Wdym
Yes I know it sounds like a dog, but at the last like 0.3/0.2 seconds I'm pretty sure that's a bird. Dogs can't bark that rapidly
No it's a dog
GN2
The other hello neighbor games had like town and animal ambiance and it didnt mean anything
Pretty sure
Btw who do you guys think is the guest
Janusz
lol
Grandma
I'm surprised Janusz already has a blockout
True
Same I hoped we would’ve gotten a blockout as well but I think it’s cool seeing him from the backside
So signed model is also just a blockout
Yup
this game gonna be peak
Boxman.
His name is blocked
Blockhead?
Boxed would be more fitting
Nah cause I feel like that’s to basic
ok but the sign one is named signed and the cone one is named coned
Just saw the new teasers from Nikita, some things I noticed that are really neat are the AI interactions, way better details from P2, though the thing I noticed most that I didn’t see many other people talk about is motion effects when running with your screen shaking a bit.
Yeah would've fit more with the others
True but that felt to basic for me and plus his mechanic is to block people from places
Here’s his concept
I want to know if HN3 would be worth buying
I’m also living how immersive the characters feel with their interactions, Janusz animation here is really fluid and love how he looks at the player then going back to facing forward.
what i really want in hn3 is an insane amount of lore
I’d love to see that.
The wait will be worth it, 100%
Mhm
That’s the point. 🙂 storm is part of the cycle. Kind of like solar system explosion in outer wilds
Will see 🤞
Squidward energy
But for real it looks really smooth
Nikita who did the animations for the characters mostly? If you can say.
I really like how the town's looking so far
I like the looks they give you like it reminds me of Rango when the town gave the iguana guy gave Rango weird looks
There was an in universe explanation for the loops in Outer Wilds. Which i think added more to the game's story. I hope HN3 also presents an explanation for that
Hello nikita, I had a question. Will there be minor changes to the story?
Like a newcomer
so as a game devloper whats the best way to learn
Our one and only animator @remote oriole
Big props to him he did a great job!
prototype 3 looks beautiful
yeah, he did great!
Because i feel like an explanation that maybe ties into concepts that got explored in other HN media (like Reset Day) could add more into the story on top of the things that's already gonna be explored in the gameplay
The first hello neighbor character to look and walk like a monkey (i love it)
Just looked at the new prototype 3 footage. It’s peak
the new footage was released right after i had checked discord lol
i look back like 15 minutes later and a whole lotta messages
how does it feel being able to adapt one of the original Background Buildings from back then?
If I’ll say one thing, it’s that from the beginning ever since HN1 and now HN3 things have definitely changed a lot visually from being a cartoony world to a creepy styled town like in a matter of given time things have definitely changed a lot visually and artistically for the franchise
seemed like a couple years ago, it was just a neat place you wondered more about
All HN styles have all been pretty cool and I liked it
The Best artstyle is hg
Raven brooks once a colorful town turned into darkness and abandonment
With no hope of return is what I’d say
To me there is still a bit of hope
the town is in ruins, but the people there still seem to live their lives as normally as they can
I don't think that's possible sadly
it seems like the storm is inevitable
the point isn't really to stop it either
Yeah it seems like nature has to take its course
i miss hn3 being looking wierd like style of the cars and the writing being backwards
I miss it too, but the text is important in this game
how
you have to actually read signs for things like instructions
so they have to be in actual english
To add upon that the music really gives you a somewhat sense of belonging but it’s also unsettling for some of it
This one’s one of my favorite songs
well at least from the older footage I hope they use it in the future
oh don t you worry i will translate them i know my neighbors
ur right
This one’s the real tearjerker for me whenever I listen to this song, it just brings me back to a simpler time of my life but at the same time it feels relaxing this is my favorite part of the song
Nikita cooked good
Isn't Siarhei the one cooking and Nikita is the one guiding him
I think so I’ve heard they’re both working on the sound track it does sound like a somewhat mix of their music but I’m not sure
The fact that the soundtrack after all this time is still absolute peak is insane to me
Fr all hn music are bangers 🔥
I still hope we get some of Siarhei own charm like in HN2.
I want to hear themes more similar to the Banner OST from HN2 in HN3.
Had to lol
It’s perfect.
Janusz is giving me Squidward vibes the fact he also works as I thought as a cashier but isn’t he a baker I think from what I’ve heard
How did I now just realize there are railroad tracks
I don’t know for sure I think he’s as far as we know a worker of some kind.
Yeah
Also the subtle ambience you can hear here is neat.
Still hope they implement the type of ambience they had for P1.
Same I’m hoping to looking forward to possibly new ost
Mhm same.
Hopefully reminiscing of the gas station theme in HG 🙏
yeah that was peak it felt relaxing
Yeah
I’d like to think maybe after prototype 3? (It will move onto the alpha stages of some sort)
Unless there’ll be more time needed to build up and stuff
It’s really up to the devs if they believe they are entering an alpha stage.
Also may not be hn3 related but in the trailer for p2 Nikita was baking off something I wonder what it was did we get any confirmation I was thinking it could’ve been a tart or something else
Or a really big muffin
I have no clue, gotta ask Nikita.
Yeah
Nikita if you’re reading the chat I’d love to know what it was lol
🙏
But for sure, it’s really good we got like more insights and goodies on P3 it looks really nice and beautiful and I can’t wait for it to come out
definitely gonna be peak when it comes out
This makes me wonder how much AI interactions there will be between characters.
Same
The Game kinda really depends on AI interactions, so I hope there's a lot
Yes yes omg yes
I hope Janusz isn’t like a mean person like character the way it cutoffs seems like he was gonna do something to the Historian unless they cut it off to not show and spoil what happens next
how does this always happen when i'm not home?!
Yeah hopefully.
They kiss
Trust me
Crazy
proto 3 looks absolutely insane!
I think those sounds in the second video where forest dweller sounds
I wonder if isaac will be in this prototype?
Oh btw we're back here again
looks like a fancy version of jacob's gas station
true
The way raven brooks is developing in hn3 makes me wish I could visit it in real life it just looks that good
as a matter of fact it really looks really beautiful and stuff, but let alone maybe it wouldn’t be the best as there’d probably be dangerous territory for sure like a certain guest
Agreed, but I would be terrified to meet anyone of these
I take back what I said earlier about the outdoors ground texture looking ugly
What’s getting me isn’t that it’s returned, but how the hell did in P3s world of RB has the Golden Apple survived this long to end up a supermarket.
I can't wait to see how the guest will look in the next devlog (maybe other devlog not this one)
Same, I hope he's spoopy
Hoooopppeewfullyy next one
the game taking place in 2028 is crazy
It’s the type of place you never hear about and pass through only on a roadtrip.
Wonder what theo is doing noow
gives off radiator springs vibes
I agree
Trying to think of this in a way that makes sense
So like in red read redemption you have all of this side stories you can solve by exploring the map, while having the "main objective/narrative" to do, but without said main objective?
Mhm, felt more like gravity falls to me.
I really hope they bring back something similiar to grey manor for the neighbors house
100%
If that’s the case I do hope there’s a lot of interesting quests you could venture on in the game.
I just love the concept of RB going from a flourishing town in HN2 and jumping into a now decrepit version of the same town in the next installment.
I remember there being an old teaser a long time ago the raven brooks sign was in English and it looked exactly like that I think it was the photos from the board in SN I forgot what map it was from
Kinda feels like the town is slowly rotting, which it sort of is
Though I hope they make these things clear in the game throughout its story, such as with newspapers talking about RB and how it’s slowly fading.
Yeah same feeling.
Prototype 3 Is gonna go to a whole different level
More character
I hope we get more familiar characters moving forward in HN3, like Nicky but idk I’d like to think he moved out and away from Raven Brooks
More houses a whole destroyed neighborhood? I think?
before the events of HN3
The Prototype 3 Map is the very early Full Game map right?
yes
Ey yo that's sick
they will essentially just expand and improve upon things but yeah it’ll be the final base of the town
proto 3 is basically just a more buggy version of the full game just with less to do and less characters
I find it pretty funny how in HN2 is supposed to be a populated and well version of RB while in HN3 it’s supposed to be half abandoned and decrepit yet there’s more characters in HN3 than 2.
For sure
I would say a more buggy and less refined version of the alpha stage.
I wonder though like why the full game of hn2 didn’t have any new characters added like it was the same characters from the beta
HN2 is now an abandoned game
HN3 is abandoned
BUT is
A good populated game
Well I mean HN2 was very different in development, there was probably no need for any new characters from the Team, also adding a new character would also mean implementing them with their own unique detailed home to fit them since HN2 had a unique location for every character.
It’s a reflection.
True
the most fire one..
What will the main gameplay actions be
Can you build anything in the town, buy things, edit buildings etc?
I wonder if the neighbor will be in prototype 3
He won't def
ik but just maybe they added him and we just dont know it yet cause hear me out its been two prototypes without the neighbor they have to add the neighbor in prototype 3
Pretty sure he won't be in it tho they like to keep things until they release them in the bigger stages
like alphas
He prob will be in the alphas
yeah your probably right
Maybe we will see him in like 3 secs
Like in the alphas
He was like standing outside
Then the game ended
Or He will actually be in the whole game
yeah also what's your favorite teaser?
The new videos of prototype 3
Showed us so many things
yeah what i meant was what's your favorite new teaser from today?
it really doesnt look like a prototype imo
We'll have to play it to see if it feels like one or not
yep
i like the first video cause it shows off the new people in action
Yeah iris giving grandma a book
I feel like that's new
the man himself!
he looks deeply disturbed
sidenote - he has his little bandaid on his right hand from h&s / hn1 concept art
Nikita can we get a picture of janusz's model now
we have the video of it in action
i think its more interesting if we just see small glimpses of him before proto 3 releases
good question
I'd rather wait to see how he fully looks like in the game
same
I'm actually so hyped I think the game will brobs release from October to the end of December what do you guys think?
I think it’s pretty much finished with just a couple big fixes needed so should come out early October or late September
invitations perhaps
I'd say so, if you're talking about the prototype of course lol.
ye im talking about the prototype
I'm so glad Nikita gave us the information! I hope he will continue to feed us with it.
And then the team can come back and develop past projects! But for now, Hn3 is a priority.
I think iris was handing out invitations or the residents were going to the board to look at the festival
It feels so odd being excited for this game, but I am glad nonetheless. Dropped off somewhere before the full release of the first game back in the day, but those two recent prototypes made me feel at home again, like the original pre-alphas. Eerie, but cozy.
I've always had a soft spot for the games yes they are buggy but there is something with them that just feels nice idk what
been nearly 1 year of hn3
Possibly.
Guys am I the only one kinda frustrated about how we are able to actually read the lettering now✌️. Like “simming” and “tpos” and all the others have been a KEY part of this games charm and vibe. I CANT BELIEVE the devs are overlooking this🥀
People kept thinking the devs are dyslexic
And some people don’t take the time to read the jumbled stuff so they don’t understand the story
it was just kind of annoying, glad it's just normal now
In my opinion, Idc
I think HN has already a style of its own that's recognizable enough without needing to jumpble the word
I do agree tho, the jumbled up words do have a charm to it. I understand why they would need to change it tho
But i do kinda think they should keep it consistent with the other games before It.
I still have mixed feelings about the text
While it's a big part of the games history and charm, HN3 is taking an entirely different approach, one in which normal english is needed
If you cant even understand what the signs say, how will you understand what the citizens want
how DARE do the devs want to change something in their video game, unbeLIEVABLE how they have all the right to want the players of their game understand the game’s language, depressing…
they are not overlooking anything
text has never been important to gameplay in hn
it is now
that is why it is english
YO
WHAT DID I MISS
HELLO NEIGHBOR 3 PROTO 3???
OOOOOOOOOOO
YOOO
ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE IN IT
THE HISTORIAN
AND JUNASZ
YOOOO
NO WAYY
what if we had another hello bendy-esque crossover to promote hn3 and batif (Ink Factory)
i decided to give Theo the ink demon costume instead of the Sammy mask because i feel like Signed would wear it instead in a hypothetical Halloween update of this style
why in every channel
i just really liked how it turned out
Oh nooo
This is real
anyway
notice how playermodel is never seen in video
i think theres a new one now
Or none at all, since you should see the hands when running
why does it blend so well
It just happened
maybe
pretty sure because from what i know all hn3 npc’s share the same base model and rig
the latter being why they can share some animations without them looking too weird
It’s for the better now you can actually read stuff and get clues from them.
Hyped for Prototype 3, With the information that Nikita confirmed it seems that they’re just fixing up some bugs for prototype 3. Hopefully Prototype 3 releases in late September - Early October
I wonder what new gameplay features they’ve added this time.
im personally hoping more for a late september release as it would line up with prototype 2 also releasing on the near end of the month it came out on
I hope climbing returns in this prototype, along with a new movement option for the game, possibly sliding.
Something I noticed and wanted to point out was how they polished up the design of the grocery store with its sign, from a month ago.
You can see they made the sign more detailed with being a glowing sign with an actual grocery store name.
Also the detail of some of the letters being broken with no light or slanted is nice.
I feel like the factory might return.
Maybe
if we were to get more locations definitely be the factory we’ve definitely had most of the locations already from hn1 that became accessible
Like the church in hn2, the gas station in the hn2 alphas but now came back in hn3, and now the supermarket
All we need now is the factory, school, and police station I don’t know about the police station
I don’t know if there’ll be a teacher character in hn3 would be cool if there was
If they brought back any locations I’d want to see HN2 locations now abandoned in the game, for instance the Banner would be the coolest to see in an abandoned state, of course the Peterson house burnt down would be something that I’d think as a must.
yeah I think it’d be nice to have the banner back but mostly I’m looking forward to the neighbors house and what it’ll look like definitely it’ll be in the worst state as we usually see it in
Yup, if they brought back the banner I’d want a theme reminiscent to the old banner theme but more comforting that plays when entering it, sort of like Shaman Village in Elden Ring where it’s the main menu theme but much more calm and relaxing because of the history behind it and what the place holds in story.
I agree
This is the theme I mean: https://youtu.be/_Zh4jIgrrB8?si=Rq1VRkKCJxZScHf-
A half-hour-long extension of Shaman Village from the Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree
imagine if it has a headline newspaper about the fate of Quentin that would be cool to have some insights on what happened to him
Easily recognizable of the main menu theme but so much more soothing and calm.
For sure I’d love that.
Ah
For sure, it’s crazy just to think HN3 takes place in the distant future
I’d want something similar but with the Banner theme knowing it’s recognizable to Quentin.
Yeah I know.
the only time we’ve seen HN in modern era was probably reset day taking place in the same year the book came out in 2021 lol as well as when the book takes place
As well as Act 3 being in 2017 (I believe?)
no I mean they all have the same rig but like
I meant the fact that it blends really well at the neck
yeah that does merge well
Yeah it’s very different, we’ve never actually been out in the perspective of a run down RB, even RD which is a dystopian version of RB is still technically populated and active.
Oh cool.
Yeah
I will say they really did nail the abandonment feel of the town, I feel like it’s starting to look more as to what Nikita had envisioned a cozy and peaceful yet unsettling town
Especially after seeing p3 I’m excited to see what it will look like further down the line
It feels so calm and peaceful even though we know very well how much strange things goes and in the Town and its history.
All the unsettling history yet place feels comforting.
For sure
and the fact the prototype 1 was at the start of this year, all the way leading up to 3 is crazy time goes by fast
I’d love them to mix unsettling ambience at times with no music, that way you get that mixed feeling where times it feels cozy and relaxing and then another time there’s no music and you only hear the eerie noises.
Yeah I know time is flying fast.
But each bigger build and development phase takes longer.
Yeah
this Banner OST with less notes would be perfect.

just a variant of quentin office 2
#helloneighbor #helloneighbor2 #helloneighborgameplay #helloneighborgame #soundtrack #soundtracks #ost
I’m gonna try and do that.
i haven't even tortured myself by attempting to texture this and i like it already
I doubt we'll be getting anywhere close to an alpha development stage just yet.
This look realistic
It will be more fun if the neighbor is in the game because there is no main villain
Alright I did it, thoughts on it? I feel like this would work as a reminiscent theme for the Banner and Quentin in HN3, unpolished and just modified though.
Its pretty good I like it
I like the feeling of it being abandoned and more unsettling than the original theme
yet feels comforting
Yeah that was exactly what I wanted it to sound like but I just settled on adding echoes and slowing down parts with the same pitch.
Nice
I really hope they do add the Banner if not maybe some reference to the banner like maybe a newspaper clipping or some van
like I said earlier
I’d really like to see Quentin’s old van just in a junkyard of sort.
Kinda like scrap parts.
Yeah that'd be cool but at the same time it'd definitely be pretty sad to see for sure
Yeah definitely.
I hope we get to see more Quentin in action either it be in the AS or something but idk about the cartoon since he said he didn't want to team up with Trinity but maybe he might change his mind
If anything I’d just like at least nods to his character.
Definitely
I would honestly expect prototype 3 to come out around October idk but could be longer its great that Nikita sent an update
As well as a Season 3 trailer as well
I’m 100% expecting it to come out October, that’s usually when HN news and updates are the biggest.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Devlog 3, Prototype 3 and Season 3 Trailer for AS all got released on October.
Same I think that would be a really good treat for sure
a ton of goodies all the way
Mhm.
peakles
What i want from hello neighbor 3
Realism. Creaking floors, stairs are loud, opening doors fast makes sound, so you gotta open them slowly etc.
Open area. A big open area where all of the houses feel fleshed out and explorable, but I dont want the open area to be mostly trees and one giant hill you have to go up to reach a goal point like the ferris wheel.
Lively people. I want to be able to see the people leave for work, go to sleep, and get out of bed in the morning. Then you can monitor their schedule and sneak in when they are away.
Generous time limits. The storm should come after 1 in game week, so the game has alot of content to flesh out that week.
I get that this would conflict with the current story in prototype 2 but im sure something could be figured out.
Sleeping. You should be granted a place to stay in the game, you could have a map and a journal there too. You have a meter where you need to keep track of your energy levels. This way you aren't just awake for the whole game. You can plab out when you sleep and when you stay awake. The house could be a place where the owner is away, or it could be an abandoned one, doesn't really matter.
Im excited for the game regardless of what does and dosent happen, keep cooking tiny build 🔥🔥
Do yall think they are gonna still use Jacob’s refined concept art? Or will they make another one after (since he isn’t the burglar protagonist of RBO anymore.) still a cool design
There will be reiterations as it isnt the final thing im pretty sure (concept arts often alter from the final version)

That sounds like a good idea, aside from the whole week span and sleeping thing. I think I remember Nikita saying in a devlog that they are planning to make the game more replayability focused. Kinda like No I'm not human, where you start a new game over and over again to try get a different ending, or get a different randomised npc and etc.
Hello neighbor 3 would be like rdr2
Lol
you're a wanted man Mr. Peterson 5000 dollars with your head alone
I found google ambulance
Looks cool
can't wait for neighbor dying on some hill or a building
Fr
We will never know what ending he'd get
Heh well endings will play out on how our actions will be in town
So if we're good with people
High honor
Yeah for sure
Wait a second I think we’ve gotten a confirmed date for HN3 when it takes place.
Nikita said Ted’s birth year is 1943, along with him being 85 during HN3, put that together and HN3 takes place in 2028.
Yup
its crazy just to think how it takes place in the far distant future
Ngl never noticed it but in ep1 of s2 they did a star wars reference when young neighbor looked at his brother collapsing he had a grown up silhouette
Yeah I know that’s crazy to me, how we went from the game taking place in 1996ish after Act 2 in HN2 and basically just jumped 32 years into the future in HN3.
Oh yeah you’re right.
a whole 11 years...
Ik what reference that is.
for sure yeah
HN3 taking place 11 years later from HN1 and 32 from HN2.
middle aged nicky in hn3 when please guys please i need to see nicky come back after saying hello to his neighbor
That would also mean it takes place past RD would have most likely since while the time is reflexive when it happens it takes place 2022-2023ish.
Yeah
makes me add on to the fact that most likely, HN3 will be somewhat of a conclusion to the neighbors story unless they make a 4th game taking place in space or something in 2090
Jk
I could definitely see like more games, rather spinoffs of some sort
Nicky was how 12 when he broke into Ted’s house as a kid right? So he’s 33 during Act 3, he would be 44 during HN3.
Around the same age range as Ted during HN2.
i don't actually know how old nicky was i was just guessing lol
44 still middle aged though so it gotta happen trust
HN7 sosed's on life support and you have to stop an elderly nicky roth from pulling it so they can make HN8
Listen I hate to say it but if they make a 4th game super soon after HN3 and continue more story it’s gonna feel pretty dragged of a franchise, it’s not even dragged really but I think 3 would be a great finale to the Main Line games if the story has good conclusion to things, if it doesn’t then I’d be alright with a 4th.
He was 12 during Act 1-2 of HN1.
kk ty
True I agree I do hope that after HN3, Nikita will most likely take a well deserved break and then stuff definitely since HN3 is his highest priority at the moment and maybe it may not come out until the end of next year or so, so he's definitely working hard for us
Which he should definitely be proud of
When HN2 came out I thought the idea of a 3rd game was not a good idea at all knowing how much the past two games have scarred the franchise, though with the way their handling it and keeping it open in development learning from past issues and keeping the game more situated in the fans only right now before promoting the game is great.
big brother is the reason his bones are still stretched in his idle...
forcing him to be taller to fit the upscaled doors he never needed...
I think it’s best for after HN3 launch some minor and possibly bigger updates for a good 2 year span before being done with the project, though it’s all up to the Team on what to do.
right I mean we still got the HN1 remake in the works possibly
Some more concepts to delve on post launch would be interesting, I’d live to see them try and work and imminent an RBO type mode past launch.
For sure after HN3 is most definitely the HN1 remake, they were working on it and put it on ice till HN3 gets finished.
Yeah
But I gotta say I love how they’ve kept the game super low they only gave steam keys for P1 on the discord showing how in a way it was a gift for the HN community that’s still talking on the franchise.
Obviously at one point in development they gotta make it more popular with promotion and marketing to get the game noticed, I just like how in this current state they’ve kept the game more for the fans to see and try.
For sure, I remember the wave it was pretty crazy like first come first serve in a way
Mhm.
I remember waking up early to snag a key lol
Yeah I got the key in the morning but was too busy to try it out that day.
Ah
visually and artistically its crazy how much the prototypes changed from 1-3
well wait not artistically
but just visually and more like
idk
Yeah I know it’s improved so much, it’s crazy to me how P2 felt like an alpha build.
Gets me wondering how refined they will make the game in development.
I agree
I'm still looking forward to how the player will look like
I do think the Historian will be somewhat of wise, suspicious, yet humble AI in a way
It’s the first time we’ll be able to play as a character that’s not tied to RB.
Yeah
I was gonna say Quentin was also tied too, as he came from the Big City but since its in Raven Brooks he's probably connected in some way
Quentin lived there as a kid, Nicky is living there same Rescue Squad kids, so HN3 is the first time we’ll play as a complete stranger to the Town, which added with how distant in the future this takes place it’s gonna feel way different from RB were used too.
But idk
Oh yeah
secret neighbor character creator real /j
Other than that I'm looking forward to playing P3, and I think definitely it'll be a blast especially with the butterfly effect in place and with more characters
I wonder if Isaac will be in P3
I’d assume he is.
I understand that approach to it too, which three or four alternate endings would be pretty cool, but I love that Adventure aspect to the hello neighbor series. If they got rid of that I'd be pretty bummed out. Being able to have the time to sneak around and strategize is what I liked about hello neighbor one and two
For sure
I’ve had I theory that in prototype 3 the task will be to save Isaac or find him locked up in one of the vandals house
Maybe
I think that would be nice but I think they're still going to stick with the escape the town idea but idk
Cool theory though
It’s weird because they made his model but it seems he is still missing
Gang is HN3 a complete restart?
(Like is nicky/Quentin just erased or ya think anything from HN2 or 1 still apply here? Talking in form of players doings not lore)
I shoudlve thought before writing my english causes seizures trying to understand IT lol (Simple version = does Nicky being in basement/Aaron being saved by Quentin or sum like that might still happened before HN3)
they still apply
if everything in the story is canon hn2 and 1 is too
imconfused about the AS and act 2 tho
hn3 kinda does it's own thing but everything is still canon
lore still will fit in hn3
It’s in the same universe but it has a new art style
Welp thanks for answering questions
Now ima return to pain of trying to understand the guest cult something idk
Anyway cya neighbors :DDD
Nikita, I was just reviewing the spoilers for the 3rd prototype, and I have a question: will there be birds, or is the birdhouse just for visual effects, and will there be any animals in "Hello Neighbor 3"?
I want Jacob to keep his eyebrows, they make him look more unique.
For most of the HN Games, the crows used a stock model
small detail that not many people care about, but I hope they're stylized in HN3 if they appear again
the current Jacob model will be updated as it is an old model
same with signed
and iris
so in the end he will look a lot closer to that
He looks so sassy
at least the texture for it was done by them
the raven from raven brook getting a redesign in hn3 would go hard
(full legal name)
Would be a cool thing is we had to get the glove for Jacob in order to gain trust, by: Stealing the glove from The Forest Dweller aka Guest
Same
Yeah
Made this music based on HN3
I’d find it really odd if they don’t put crows, since you know it’s Raven Brooks, HN2 did a pretty good job with them I just wish they did more instead of just flying off when you got close and coming back when your gone and flocks around main objectives.
They should have more to them to immerse the world more.
Id also like to add:
PLEASE KEEP THE HORROR ASPECT OF THESE GAMES!!
huh
hn3 will not be horror
Yeah man, I want it to be scary!
Its ok, there's always the moding community for hn1!
It’s not gonna be scary but more so going to be off putting and unsettling.
Yeah im chill wt that too
Also gotta say love the design for the Golden Apple Supermarket in HN3 it looks like a vibe.
Especially the sign, love that the most.
Used to be general regular words that made up grocery but I like the new one how it stands out
Yeah for sure they did some nice makeover with the front of the supermarket in the older teaser
Yeah it’s cool seeing how they are slowly making what’s the FG map better even though it’s only the earliest version still.
This is one of the first things we see of finer detail and refining of the games map.
Agreed I think visually it'd be pretty cool if at night the neon sign can like slightly flicker
It just looks like the type of place you’d find in Raven Brooks I hope it feels really cozy inside while it already does.
That should happen yeah, like the Golden Apple logo in the center randomly flickers but goes back to dimming out.
Also something I noticed was the difference between eerie and cozy in the teasers, in this first clip it’s daytime and in the town with people around and there’s nice soothing calm music, while in this second clip it’s dark out with no one around and there’s just eerie ambience in the background.
Yeah
I like the transition from the day to night
I think there should be a way to get a npc out of their house without making enemies like a doorbell
Mhm.
That would be great.
Would be cool if we could just simply knock at people's doors
Yeah I’d imagine if they had that, certain characters wouldn’t answer because of their traits like Ted or Signed.
rn there doesn't seem to be many perks to befriending characters
You're so selfish imagine befriending someone just to get stuff out of them
You should be ashamed
god this makes me so excited hn 3 looks so fresh
i love that they went with a neon sign for the shop
you see that a lot in towns like this
although if the sign was red it would be a lot more accurate lol
Yo soo what did the bunny rabbit thing mean in the hello neighbor logo?
What I meant is that they just ignore you, I mean it's a 2 way street really
They don't even look at you
Even giving the player the ability to communicate through gestures would be nice
Yeah they ignore you because you want all theire money
You use them for money
You selfish human being

Hi all
Why would I want their money?
I'm about to get jumped by unmodelled cone man anyway
Yeah because you robbed them out of all theire money
You pretended to be a friend
And stole all the money
I stuffed them with cake then robbed them and watched with joy as their town got devoured by the storm
I am rich now
I have a highly hazardous security system
Which is very loud and keeps me up at night
Iris had the most money
Vandal had the least
So you're the one who spilled the highly radioactive substance in there water supply
Thats why they are green and purple
yes
They're also blue
That wasn't in the advertisement
What was the meaning of the bunny?
i, for the life of me, cant remember
rabbit hole iirc
honestly the only thing i know is that the uroboros snake usually represents cycle of death and life
the rabbit no idea
when i search it up i get fertility and i dont know about that
😭
also the butterfly effect
yeah
tbh i love that even the logo has secrets and hidden stuff
it just shows the actual game will be insane
once fully released in the year or two
Yeah
Thumbnail captions 😭
arrest ending
This is how that character would look like:
Real
i tebber lacl uaSl!
Prototype 3 tomorrow?
At the end of one of the teasers for prototype 3, there was like a crow sound. Guest?
hm
I would love to imagine its coming out this month but lets remember that the p2 gameplay was posted 1 month before p2 and p3 gameplay was just shared so I think it might be 27th next month
or maybe on Halloween if it is next month
If Prototype 3 doesn't release tomorrow then it'll likely release around Halloween
İ think it release with animation
(i.e next month)
what does that mean
Animation series
ah
what
What does HN3 have to do with the AS do (story-wise, outside of being HN franchise media)
Bro hn3 first show with animation
Also yeah Karvilax wth are you doing
No it isn't
Most people watching the AS are kids who don't even have a PC to play HN3 prototypes
No one's going to play Prototype 3 after watching the AS
Random send? What are you talking about?
yeah thats how he is
last time he talked from what i remember
he fought with uh goober over the milk from alpha 2
Bro nikita send randomly
Devlog video
saying that its poison or some random stuff
Sudden ly
Lmao
Bro i not say this
yes i know
İ just say drink raw milk is not good for me not like
Hold on...
he does not drink raw milk
Tomorrow is Saturday!
İ mean
that its not raw milk
Proto 3 is def not coming out tomorrow lol
Normal milk
basic milk is not raw milk
Why?
İ know bro@meager walrus
Tomorrow is Saturday bro
So what bro
They don't release builds on Saturdays
They do
They don't
Yes they with hello neighbor 2 alpha i think
Which one?
alpha 4🔥
HN2 Alpha 1 - Thursday
HN2 Alpha 1.5 - Sunday
HN2 Beta - Thursday
HN2 FG - Thursday to Tuesday
Hmmmmmmm
The 2 HN3 prototypes were released in Thursday and Tuesday...
RBO Prototype came out in Wednesday...
Prototype 3 COULD release tomorrow, but
I'm going to keep betting on it releasing around halloween
Yes
Why is there reason to suspect it'd be coming out tommorow?
The previous two protoypes were released on Feb 27 and May 27
That's it really
mmm. I'd be really excited if it released tommorw but I definitely think its gonna launch in october
I personally think it's likely that Prototype 3 will be released in October because it would be around Halloween. Hello Neighbor games usually have builds or the games themselves released around that time
Yeah, its a good time marketing-wise too
Mhm
hello all
I agree I'd like to place my bets on October would be the best place to release it
Alongside with season 3
will they change the in-game language back to the OG Hello Neighbor language with the mixed up words or are they going to stick with english
Nah they're sticking with English the reason why is because for gameplay reasons and they want you to understand what you're doing this time as HN3 will be needing to be going around more around the vast world
rather than the usual language of the games
yeah makes sense but the og language is iconic
it is but understanding gameplay and lore is significantly more important
👍
they gotta at least use "simming" for the missing posters😔 🙏
No
imagine having to solve every word in the game just to know what to do lol
I’m pretty excited for prototype 3. Hopefully it releases soon.
Probably tomorrow
prototype 3 tomorrow
October
tomorrow
I think it’s definitely late October, it’s their thing more recently to do big drops and reveals for HN on Halloween time.
i cant wait to not use youtube for 3 days so to not get spoiled
Probably yesterday.
Nice
not likely
(named your cat after a part of the eye)
😩 😩 😩
Prototype 3 might release on October 8th or October 22nd because it seems we always get hn3 teasers to weeks on a Wednesday after the last one
lets not
It's releasing on Christmas clearly.
iit truy
I understand that you probably are disappointed the new prototype isn't today, but I think spamming will just make things worse. If we stress out the devs too much, they'll either release a buggy and unplayable prototype 3, or just completely stop development.
Just like DaniDev, known for making lots of popular and funny indie games and now he's abandoned his YouTube channel, because people couldn't stop spamming him with demands (and even threats) about Karlson.
Apparently the p3 map will be the final map, that will be used for full release. 🤔
Prototype 3... today...
Hopefully
cuz they release something around 6 pm or 7 pm for me and rn its 1 pm
dude they never release anything on week-ends so why hoping for prototype 3 to release today
Because today was a potential release date
For p3
bro it has only been 3 days since the video teasers, there's no way they fixed all of the bugs that they wanted to do in 3 days 😭
It's a prototype so it doesn't have much
they probably fixed some bugs before posting these teasers
come on guys its not today
Bro i think video is part of devlog actually
what
Look these it look like crops
which one
All of it
devlog was about prototype 2 no?
surely we will see p3 in october
ngl
Hopefully
but about the 27 thing surely it was pure coincidence
most definitely
but its never announced, it can be today at 19 00 (for me in france
its unknown
ok, thanks
I'm giving it a 50% chance that it will happen today.
me tooooo
it was on edit on the 27 of august come on
I'm giving a 10 only because they post stuff at 7 pm my time so.
Maybe
I hope so 🙏
in prototype 2 he isnt
But the prototypes aren’t canon
i know
I think that historian person will take care of isaac
probably
probably or def not cuz he can be online while he is doing work
but
lets hope
🙏
concept jacob looks so far different than the game
the eye brows make him look fearless
i think its because they didnt implement jacobs rbo model yet so theyre using and outdated one, leading to him looking different from the rbo pre alpha
yeah
80% sure he will
Wow, Nikita is online!
Just like he is in every single day
That must mean...
Prototype 3 is coming out today!
surely!
What time did prototype 3 come out
it didnt
I mean prototype 2
