Ik the date but what time of day
might of been afternoon
cant you check the post in the announcements channel?
He posted announcements at a reasonable time
Prototype 3 is most likely not happening today
For like a lot of reasons
So I wouldn't get your hopes up
Why you think this @spiral atlas
Nikita said just a few days ago they were in the bug fixing stage, I doubt they finished that already
And there has been no updates or anything on SteamDB either
Bro because they updates in last minute @spiral atlas i think
Because in prototip 2 prototip 1 was close and they update ig when they want
But this time prototip 2 is open
İf they update persons will see prototyip 3
Thats not how game development works
I never developed a game so yea ur prob right
Hi
Let's just wait
there is no announcements about a prototype 3 yet, stay tuned for #announcements or a new #work-in-progress to watch the work !
if anything, check steamdb
safe to assume that he will
is there any informations about the date of the full release of hello neighbor 3?
not yet
it will presumable release around 2027-2028
damn i will probably be like 18 or 19 years old
nothing
i checked
last update was 30 days ago it says
or whatever
that's why i said "if anything"
I live in Poland. So when Nikita publishes something in the afternoon in USA, it is 8:00 PM for me 😐
That's terrible
isnt it in russia or something?
I didn't know that
egs moved to all over the world
No
(everyone moved wherever they wanted to)
Bro it base on holland and the studio on holland if you not know @open plaza
Bro nikita no publish
Tinybuild publish
hn3 isnt published yet
misinfo btw
waaayyy too early for that
source?
We are only considering candidates from Netherlands to have an opportunity to work in the office.
They say in hn3 porting job
alright then

the studio is in the netherlands
not the whole eerie guest
Bro so what
Im pretty sure they're remote?
yeah
İ say the base on holland
Not all of them
Lmfao
So they dont have a physical office
@hoary anchor 


I think you're the one ragebaiting everyone, then its not working, then you're mad
Just my theory 
Just rememberd that in devlog 2 Nikita said "some one preparing for a festial someone will disappear and someone looking for their dog" and since there are barking sounds in the sneak peaks its possible that this is going to be present in p3
I am unsure what he means with someone knocking on your door at night since we dont live in ravenbrooks in hn3
i hope you'll be able to take an empty house and basically live in it
that you can upgrade and stuff like RBO was gonna have
i was going to say that bro that would be so cool
like i'd live in my little house, and go out in raven brooks
same lol
I think that was said just for atmosphere
yeah I could see that being the case
I bet this will somewhat be the case since we need to hide away during the night
He could have been reffering to the vandals breaking into your house during storms

I think prototype 3 should be ready soon since Nikita said that they are currently fixing bugs in p3 so I assume that mean that that means gameplay is finished and just polish to go, and since its a prototype its alright if there are bugs so they shouldnt have to spend too much time on that right now
bonus: bugs are usally pretty fun in hello neighbor
it MAY (
) be today (4-5 pm and the 27th theory checks out
)
UTC
That was Wednesday
when will it be 4 or 5 pm where you live
I just said, UTC
so either in 13 minutes or in an hour
oh
big doubt tho
i very heavily doubt it's in 13 minutes when nothing on steamdb has been updated in weeks
this
2 hours
private branches exist but yeah
prolly not today
considering its the weekend
fair point
private branches are fair
i used to track when changes were being made to those but not right now (pretty sure u can through steam console via depot/appid)

Let's just be patient
where do i find the 3 devlog of hn3?
It's not announced yet
and &
When will the cars be updated to better models? And will there be a train that does a circuit around the town?
I'd imagine around the alphas time
nikita said that he wants to add a train i think
but when idk

i miss him
we need prototype 3 before gta6
i wonder how he would look like if he was in hn3 style
hi guys
hi
yes
hello neighbor 3
damn
never thought they would make another banger
how is production of that game?
idc if its for money im buying it
is there any alphas so far
or version?
There's a prototype on steam
share me the link or name of it
You arrive in Raven Brooks as a stranger, with no past here and no clear reason to stay. The town feels like it’s slowly being forgotten, but traces of life remain: quiet, persistent, and watching. What will you uncover here? What happens if you start pulling on the threads? The answers aren’t handed to you, they’re waiting to be discovere…
To be announced
Where is our prototype 3 🙏
He's old now 👍
he's 85 in hn3
and yet he runs like the flash
we have no clue how fast he is
he isn't in the game yet
idk but it will def be players speed
He's 85
considering he is 85, probably not
dont spoil im downloading Prototype 2
for first time
He can't run fast
???
it's not spoiling anything if I say he ISN'T in the game
idk but i was thinking if he is in the game
please nikita say something
Peterson won’t be able to run
Exactly
he will prob be able to run, just not fast
He will walk
we will be able to befriend him
damn, he reached unc status
there isnt really much to spabout p2 yet unless you know what it consists of
Just like Janusz
looks like dakblake predicted something with his mods
He is 85 in HN3
grand unc status ig
i never heard of hn3 until now
oh aight
idk
He is
where they got it from but i believe them
the goat comfermed it ig
alright im booting hn3 up
From 50
what should i expect
35 years is crazy
It just doesn't make sense
From 50 to 80 in 1 game
i mean depressed people dont live alot because thier body will be tired and old age will come in 60-65
It will leave more questions but hopefully answers some also
nicky roth went from 10 - 20 in one act
and yall complaining a game gap????
im playing hn3 and GOD DAMN its taking so much ccu
also
if neighbor is 85 in hn3
then that means Aaron and Nicky are 48
who is he?
I think he shouldv stayed in 50-60 age
presumably guest
With an unhkmely look
doesn't work for the game
the town is supposed to be half abandoned and destroyed
HN1 to HN2, 1 to 2 year gap and HN2 to HN3, 34 to 35 year gap
ma boi the guest Making a apperance after dozens and dozens of months
that doesn't make sense if it's in 1996
GUYS
2 years
wait no
i got a question
3-4
ok
we don't know
and he still living till 80 in hn3
but it wasn't enough to kill him obviously
I mean, he is holding himself up with a shovel
Yup
trying seeing what a 10 foot item drop can do to ur back
No pain no gain
That could be for the concept art or he has walking problems
that's why he is using the shovel as a crutch in the concept
i hope walking problems i dont want nikita to leave a plot hole
who knows
but prob not
also
there is a lore reason why he no longer wears gloves
not just for design
so I'm curious to find that out
job
dont use this word around here without censoring it
lol
I like the thought of Mr Peterson just stumbling around the town. Idk, just cool seeing the neighbor actually aging
i KEEP DYING TO THE STUPID FOREST DWELLER
i cant catch a break
yall dead or what?
There's a model of him already Nikita confirmed
Hello Neighbor 3 will take place in 2028
Because the neighbor is 85
oh okay
I'm really looking forward to prototype 3
does the neighbor even have anything to do with the 3rd game
yea
i thought he’s just a side character that’s just there because he was the original
holy
not a side character
he is still important
but remember
they only recently got a character modeller
and the game started out as RBO and didn't have the neighbor
what does rbo stand for
raven brooks online
oh
that's why we already had signed, iris, and jacob
and why the guest was made of different characters and the dweller was just simple cubes
if they are gonna make another dlc that’s gonna turn into another game rbo should’ve been the one
no character modeler at the time
i guess they just didn’t go with raven brooks online because secret neighbor kind of died in 2023
It would be cool if their was a fire mechanic where there would be two new items: matches and lighters. They would both set objects on fire gradually taking away their health. However if an npc notices fire on their property or important locations to them, they would put it out with a fire extinguisher. matches would be less durable than lighters
I still hope that sometime after HN3 is finished EGS tries to make a spin off HN3 or a new mode like RBO, it didn’t have to be co-op online either they could implement it as a single player mode if they can’t do online.
no
they didn't go with it cuz they were told to not do multiplayer by a team who has done ue multiplayer
smth like that anyway
It would be like a HN1 reminiscent Player vs AI, random house with random character and random objective with puzzles, a replay able mode.
what
wouldn't that just be
hn3
idk watch the hn3 devlogs
wait so if hello neighbor act 3 takes place in 2015
and hello neighbor 3 takes place in 2028
then how old is nicky
If he's in the game
hello nicky
wait mb
What
He had kids already
Well no, HN3 is open world with that focus of Butterfly effects, actions and sandbox, I’m saying they should bring back that RBO type idea as a Singleplayer (Since they can’t do multiplayer) as a replace mode, one house that’s randomly different each run, you have one life and chance if you get caught you lose, a random objective with puzzles in the homes, basically like HN1 where you just have the house across the street, a neighbor and puzzles.
One died
One survived
why can’t they do multiplayer
No plans for that
i just said i’m talking about nicky not mr peterson
will nicky have kids
Because it was too hard and for a Team that never did it before, another Team told them it was a bad idea and not to do it.
Nicky is not returning
also chat
I just did some math
if neighbor is 85 in hn3
and 51 in 1996
that's a 34 year gap
1996 plus 34 is 2030
Since it won’t work out.
hn3 is in 2030 not 2028
Too hard in UE since they have never done it before
His birth year was pushed back to 1943.
they did in secret neighbor unless secret neighbor wasn’t unreal engine which i’m pretty sure it is
???
it's unity.
Nikita said.
where
wait what
Hello Neighbor take place at 1943
ooo
So it’s 2028, also Nicky would be 44 during HN3.
ok
so
in hn2 he is now 53
Yeah.
hn3 will actually be a sequel to the ending this time unlike hn2
Well I guess his birth year was wrong from what people thought.
who are you even gonna be playing as in hn3 anyways
This would be such a cool idea to add for HN3 after the games finished.
I’d so be down for it to be in the game.
hn1 it was nicky
hello guest it was quentin and whoever the other girl was
hn2 it was just quentin
someone completely unrelated to raven brooks.
And new
We don’t know all we know is the MC has zero connection to Raven Brooks, unlike all the other characters we’ve played as.
Which means a new character.
Nicky would still be 45 in hn3 tho
cuz remember he turned 13 in the basement
from what I'm told
Well he was 13 after Act 2 which is 1997 now, 20 years later it’s 2017, now 33, add 11 more years it’s 2028 so hers around 43-44.
no HN2 is 1996
Well isn’t it taking place early spring?
Man I don’t remember exact dates anymore so I don’t know.
As far as I’m aware no, but sometime while he was in the basement and he was in there for months.
Yeah and it gets weird trying to figure out when he got trapped in there.
I've seen many people say 2 months tho
Yeah I remember 2 months as well.
grande. please keep working on it.
no rushes.
its worth our wait. ^_^
Hello
I've found out there is a bug in prototype 2 where some cant do there tasks so they are stuck doing the same ones so this is what I've found ,all characters can sleep, all characters can use a fire to warm up, all characters can read, sighned can listen to music,sighned can use a punching bag, there might be more but I haven't found them yet
They can all use the punching bags but I didn't know they could warm up by the fire
I remember in one of the Nicky books he had a birthday he went to some amusement park with friends for the first time in his life i think he went with trinity and enzo
I forgot what was the name of it
I think it might have been an amusement park I forgot
wait, they can warm up by the fire?
What does the fire look like?
It practically isn’t fire it’s just a orange glow I would put a image on this but it won’t let me idk why
oh
no embeds
thats why
Some people clearly didn't
I don’t know, doubt it’s was the amusement park since it’s abandoned during Nicky trilogy.
Ah
I remember there was a park Nicky went to in which he got creeped out by Theodore it was a classroom like ride
Hmmm I think I know what you’re talking about, I don’t know where they went, I do know that was the source of Nicky school trauma kinda with being bullied.
Yeah
~June-August iirc?
like I don't remember the exact months myself but iirc HN1 was originally in May-June 1997?
and I think it's still Summer (but 1996 and not 1997) in the books
did nikita say anything about hnp3 date release?
Nope.
okay, thank you
Here's some of my thoughts about hello neighbor 3, and what I'd potentially like to see in the game!
👏
???
hey man, i saw in the video you said that there should be a larger time gap for the storm arriving
im fairly certain the storm is just there for the prototypes so the player has a goal
so you wouldnt have to worry about it in future builds
nah im pretty sure it has been said that hn3 would be incomplete without the storm or something
yeah
idk man
i dont either
just feels weird having a time limit for that kind of game
yeah i agree
i dont really want there to be a time limit or at least a way to disable it
exactly
so you could view and influence character interactions without the dread of the timer
it would be cool if you could do something in the weather station to disable/delay the storm
interesting concept
a in game way to influence the storm
using the weather station
thats what id prefer instead of disabling it in the pause menu
same here
W idea!
kinda scared on how the guests ai will work with prototype 3
Wait that's also a W
since what if you enter the deep woods when hes on the other side of the map
is the guest gonna like usain bolt to your location
Lol
i hope so honestly
Yeah I guess that could be a problem
imagine him just jumping across trees like a gorilla
I kind of want to be able to explore the deep woods a little bit
teleporting would be the only really feasable way without it being funny
yeah
True
like if he could run into a particularly dark patch of trees
and run out of another one at a different spot on the map
i hope the guest will be creepy and peek from behind objects
thats my favorite part about him
Or maybe a swarm of crows could cover him as he teleports, or just carry him away kind of like the effects in hn search and rescue
that would be so cool ngl
fire idea
Do we have confirmation that the guest will be in this game?
ok so like
i think so
Fr?
hasnt nikita also said that theres concept art for hn3 of the guest
yeah like
his skeleton
was left over for prototype 1
and if you look at it there
Oh cool
you can see a vague beak shape on the top of the model
like the one the guest has
but vertical
werent there also things named like beak_rope?
and furthermore
Strange.
the scarecrow in prototype 2
looks kinda like a witness description of the forest dweller/ guest
with the beak facing up having a face on it
and the statue in prototype 1 is just an old model of the guest
Cool!
I kind of hope the guests design doesn't fit in with the art style of hello neighbor 3 as weird as it sounds. Because it would make him feel like he doesn't belong there even more
interesting point of view
the guests design not fitting the art style though is like
would that make him more cartoony?
more realistic?
that'd be cool
i really like that idea
You know how everything in hello neighbour 3 has this kind of like almost unsettling "pastel" look to it? (That's the best way I can describe it sorry) maybe the guest could look more realistic, or glossy, kinda like maybe he's the only one with rtx graphics enabled lol
neighbor bought the 4k graphics for his model i see
oh
Player escapes
The game: AW HELL NAH YOU DIE NOW
fr
It was explained in Devlog 2 and also this very server how the storm/time limit and restarting the game is just part of the gameplay loop.
I don't think there'll be a way to disable it. That's just not how the game is meant to work.
true
Yo HN is the most nostalgic thing I've ever played. I swear the main menu music is sum else man.
the menu music is so peak
frrrr
Imagine youre moving out of your house and listening to the act 3 apartment music
Every time I hear it, I swear the memories that come flooding back, I love it!
lol
Fr
angry neighbor is so nostalgic
Ik man
Idk why they abandoned the game
I mean it was bad
but nostalgic
Also the creepypastas around that game 😭 🙏
i dont remember that lmao
Gng ts is not tuff or scary
People were saying it had viruses in the APK
lol
those people make me sick
just tarnishing a guys work to make it seem “tuff”
yeah
I think there was versions of the game that had malware, but the real thing didn't
I really hope the optimisation is improved in proto 3 cause right now even if I turn everything to low except shadows and global illumination my pc can barely handle it ( the reason I keep them on is because the game looks really good with it especially at night time )
the developers said they’ll try to fix optimiziation a lot for P3
When is p3 supposed to release? Haven't been keeping up with this game
Possibly October release is what I'm guessing
it is coming
I think nikita is doing concept art rn
Why?
when will hn3 probably gonna come out
We don't know
The game is literally in prototype stage rn why do people always ask that
ik we dont know thats why i said probabply and potentionally
def 2028
I just hope the devs take their time and not rush it
I would also prefer less early builds if that means a good release
I feel like the unrevealed "angel" and "elderly man" are gonna be in proto 3 since they appeared to be further along in development than janusz who we know is in proto 3.
Are those unrevealed characters?
Yes, they just weren't voted for
Oh ye I forgot about those I wonder what it is meant by angel?
Priest maybe?
The old man might be the one looking after Issac that or The Historian could be Jacob I think
Possibly
No they're not
Isaac is baby, Janusz is baker.
Who's janusz
We haven’t seen them yet but they will brobs be shown in devlog 3 when proto 3 releases
Who will?
I like how they haven’t shown them yet, I wonder how the Vandal Gang will work and cooperate together in the game.
Both, the ones that are super detailed were paint overs that are supposed to resemble how detailed the game is gonna be, the ones Nikita sent of the same pictures that were way less detailed were the actual prototype screenshots, but it’s been a while since then and we’ve seen the map has been way more detailed than during summer so it will probably look a lot better.
the Angel and Old man
Oh right we never got those right?
Makes me wonder.
Will Theo play an important role in Hello Neighbor 3?
probably
Probably since he is the mascot of the franchise
i wonder what tho bcause we don't see his house at all nor hos presence
Wait gng is everyone purple and blue as a placeholder or is it final?
Also what it the actual art style of hn tbh my personal arts type would be either sn or hn2
He is? I've never heard of him.
its final
its for the unhomely art style
Really? Weird design choice but ok
I don't really like that, but obviously it's not my choice.
It's Nikita's option
İt neighbor name
what
İ say false people @opaque summit
i was reffering to the characters having unnatural skin colors
No? Is theo not a 10yr child in hn3???? Its not theory peterso it's someone else card though I'm pretty sure
what??
Prototype 3 on the 27th!
I wish Nikita would give us more content! Otherwise, it's boring to wait for the 3rd prototype without content.
Imagine if Nikita added a secret boss, Tung Tung Sahur, to prototype 3 and it would be possible to defeat him with all characters, and if you defeat him, you would be able to get secret access to prototype 4
Oh, and prototype 4 will also have a secret boss, but it will be Nikita himself, and if you defeat him, you can gain access to prototypes 5, 6, 7, and all the prototypes in general.
Uhhh
i found this painter and his work reminds me of HN 3 lol
its probably all the curves in the enviroment
There are no animals in Raven bruks. Except for the llamas, perhaps
well its not really about the animals
its about the structure
and the curve of the painting that reminds me of HN 3
Raven Brooks is literally infested with crows and ravens, also cats and dogs with all sorts of animals.
but also while we are on the subject i think animals would be really nice in HN 3. crows and such around would be nice
maybe even some wild life in the forest
a rare chance to see a deer wouldnt really be a bad thing
HN2 did a really good job with crows I think they should bring that back but make them more unique than just flying away when getting close.
1 dog, 1 cat. And birds (I don't consider them animals) don't count.
in HN 3 they could actually interact with the enviroment and npcs !! and do more then just sit on the ground
In the books many people have digs and cats, also squirrels, RB is in the Missouri ofc there will be many animals.
honestly yeah i wouldnt mind them adding animals into the game it just makes it so much more realistic and alive
The guest is not an animal, why should his brothers be?
i mean animals are everywhere its their world we just live in it 😭 a few birds, squirrels and other animals wouldnt hurt
thats...... not how that works
I think it would be cool to see them communicate to each other and actually have a unique pattern of fixing around places, for example they are more relaxed during times perched on house roofs and power lines while when the storm is getting close they start to flock in circles around the Town signaling a storm.
exactly yeah cool stuff like that
Mhm.
for a place centered around ravens they dont really do much
like the concept is there why not use it
😭
Yeah HN2 was cool with them flocking at main objectives but I wish they did more than just the same stuff with just flying off when your close.
I’d love to see them flying around in the sky, some gathered on power lines others nagging and attacking NPCs and such.
It would be cool if we could catch crows and use them later as a distraction.
yesss it would be lovely
to have the crows actually DO something rather then just fly around or just sit and then fly away if we get close like have them interact with people and the enviroment
i totally agree
Mhm.
At the very least I just hope they return, it would be really weird that the signature thing of Raven Brooks does not return in its next installment.
The city is literally called Raven Bruks. Why are they just part of the decor?
exactly yeah
well i guess we will see
we are literally just only in prototypes we have a looooong way to go
prototypes -> pre alpha -> alpha -> beta -> pre release -> release so they have a lot of time to just work on everything
now I'm wondering what happened to the city in the last 2 games.
which makes me wonder how many prototypes there are gonna be before we enter alpha
im guessing prototype 4 could potentially be the last prototype before pre alpha
i cant really see the prototypes go on after 4
I think Nikita said p3 will be the last prototype
did he ?
I'll have to check
alright if u find it lemme know
If crows are used as decor in prototypes, then in alphas they won't grow legs and they won't take over a neighbor's house by heating stoves.
i dont know what the last part means but also games change in development all the time
i mean hn being the best example
compare HN 2 alpha 1 to release and you are in for a shock
its nice to see they finally learned that the game isnt meant to be a different game each version 😭
The Hn3 looks promising, but where are the teasers of the prototype?
It's now, so we've been waiting for half a month
well i mean
we just got some
and they are pretty big
so i dont think we need any more
with pt2 we literally got like two teasers
so this is okay
Nikita feeds me too little!
Your picture with the cat showed me that Nikita is the best developer!
I have no feelings for him.
i havent been more confused
I'm really hyped for prototype 3 ngl
Pictures of cats boost the mood of the server!
wait, twitter's hyped?
hell yeah
a post blew up a few weeks ago with 5k likes about HN 3 rn
calling the peterson design and HN 3 really cool
they have such a big chance rn
We all believe in Nikita and hope for the result.
I hope HN3 gets good enough to (hopefully) get some sort of nomination for an award or something so far HN had won no award nor nomination I'm placing my bets on HN3 that it will be a really great game when it comes out everything seems to be going all good and well
a lot of times indie games get ignored in these big awards
but i mean if everything goes to plan and they actually manage to pull off this immersive town with people with personalities and everything it could be pretty good
oh dang never knew that
i mean even fnaf gets ignored and we know those games are HUGE
Hope so
thats sad its like saying animation gets ignored too in award shows which mostly they do apparently iirc
yeah its like how in movie awards horror isnt qualified for nominations even tho its still a genre
Yeah
Its crazy how we started off from a cartoony style into a distinct style with the neighbor
||this is definitely the original picture btw||
god the HN 1 art style gives me a headache each time i see it
I liked hn1s artstyle I think it felt wacky and nice and it definitely fit what they were going for but I like hn2s a lot its more realistic yeah, but still keeping the essence of HN
Hello neighbor is not what it used to be compared to its competitors, and that's not a bad thing. It's just that fans and those who eavesdrop on the franchise don't like it.
and now of course HN3
Yeah
I think all styles are pretty enjoyable and very distinct from each other
i can tolerate it because it was an early attempt but like
i think some of the art charm is lost in the models
but hn1s really did kinda give me headaches too sometimes ig it was just how colorful it was lol
Don't you think that the gloomy hn3 is turning into a cute cartoon with each prototype?
Eh not really I'd say its still pretty realistic but since its a prototype things can definitely change
We're waiting for alpha, because the style will stop changing there
I genuinely hope they keep this style, this is the best art style I’ve seen for an HN game so far, it feels off and cozy.
defo not
the style will continue to evolve up to beta
during beta is where it should stop changing
Nikita said it will become more detailed over time but will still stay the same
of course yeah the art style will evolve up to beta
different models, more models more details yada yada dev gumbo jumbo
I hope the big city isn't visible at first glance but can be seen just barely with a pair of binoculars
in the final game
would be a cool easter egg
when do yall think p3 releasing
Oh right the city background I've always liked it in the hn games
Halloween
only case being excluded from Hello Engineer I think
what happened to the city is my question.
Still was functioning when nicky was there
I like the iterations of the city preferably imo hn2 it looked pretty nice hn1s looked good too
hn2 were 3d modeled ones while hn1s were decal I'd say
what about the alpha 2 ones
the giant cube city in alpha 2
Probably not with that i mean maybe if it was textured and stuff then maybe but yeah
The reason I think they should be invisible without binoculars is because having a giant city right next to the town felt a bit unrealistic
I do think having a short game based of of nikita's giant monster prototype where you play as nicky in the big city whilst a giant neighbor representing his fear of him hunts him down would be cool.
I agree
We need to get an HN game taking place in The Big City, it’s been around since the first game only time we get to see inside of it is the beginning of HN1 Act 3.
Yeah
what would you even DO in the city?
I frowned reading this 👍
Honestly don’t know, would be cool though.
the whole story of hello neighbor revolves around raven brooks
True.
Would still be a cool spinoff
wait actually
Quentin before he came to raven brooks
could work
as a spinoff
A prequel about him yeah.
I wonder if characters will have unique chase themes in HN3, I hope they do.
I doubt they won’t, it would be so awkward since you won’t be able to know your getting chased, there would need to be some sort of sound queue.
I mean
kinda like how it is now
obviously a sound cue to initiate
just not actively playing chase music is what I meant
Yea something similar to the Forest Dweller sound queue would be something but I’d prefer full chase themes.
same
This reminded me the Forest Dweller sound queue which is called “Guest Danger Zone” is literally so similar to the sound queue for The Guest attacking barricades in the Forest in HN2.
Should find the sound queue in HN2 to compare.
Wait lol its called that?
so forest dweller actually is the guest
Well I mean it isn’t confirmed but it’s very very likely.
i hope the forest dweller is the guest
it would make sense
but i hope they changed forest dweller design
obviously they will lol
I meant it's quite clearly a placeholder
proto 3 looks like a whole diff game
its hard to belive that is a prototype
this is a whole beta
imagine the full game
not a beta
i know but the content inside proto 3 is something of a beta
so huge
a beta has nothing to do with quality or size
it's just a stage in development
so
:)
alr
i get it now
We’ve only seen the world and characters, nothing of the gameplay, it’s still very well a prototype.
btw in a #work-in-progress vid i saw that a charather looks at a player then looks away. does that mean that npcs are aware?
I mean they’ve always been aware since prototype 1, Janusz looking is a feature to make the game more immersive.
Characters are aware and use their knowledge of the games world to make actions.
so they are recreating the AI idea from hn2
Not really they only use this knowledge as a system for the sandbox environment, they don’t have advanced learning and only stay at the capability of decision making.
who knows maybe they will change it up and do the whole thing
Maybe.
Characters don't have "advanced learning". They have a memory (knowledge) and communication, though.
So, they can update their knowledge about the object or character's location, available paths etc. which affects how they make decisions.
Update happens when they see something by their eyes, get info from another character or from a note or photograph
Oh I see, so they will just be able to remember things they saw.
And use that knowledge to do things.
Btw, off topic but will the graphics change in its full release and alphas. Because that happened with hn1. I think we all want it to stay like this.
this is cool
thx for explaination i was stuck there
Hey Nikita, I dont know if this counts as a story question but i'm curious. At what point in the game's development are we gonna start to get more details on the story?
I have a question: will there be animals in the game and will it be possible to interact with them?
i think there should at least be crows, at least i hope so
I think there will be dogs
guys is it just me or janusz reminds me of the cop in hn2
I’d be very surprised if they didn’t bring back crows, the way they were in HN2 were neat and something similar would be cool but I hope there would be more to them.
this sounds crazy but proto3 might release on the 1st of October because we always get hn news on Wednesday and the 1st seems like a nice clean date
Well, techically it starts with Prototype 3 in a way
Hard to say at the moment
okey
hmmmmmm 🤔
idk what he means by that]
but
what if the goal of the game is just to escape
no more
no less
i mean
it is in proto stages
but
i think thats the main plot if nikita is leaning to it
Question for Nikita not really anything regarding HN3 but how would you think looking back at HN1 have you changed through the course of the years everything looks really nice do you sometimes look back at the old games and see how far you’ve gone other than that I can’t wait for HN3 it’s looking really great and you guys are doing an awesome job 
people are asking about when prototype 3 releases.
but what about prototype 4. that one has got to release soon. im sure.
all devs look back what makes nikita diff from all other devs?
i think he does
He’s the one who came up the idea of HN
Quick question, I don't know if you answered this before but, will the graphics change for full release?
yeah but im saying all devs look back
Prototype 3 in this sense is more like what full game is going to be like. There is no escaping as a goal. Goal is to explore and unravel mysteries.
thats sounds really nice
so proto 1+2 is grounded versions of the full story?
What do you mean?
i think he meant the artstyle
Like how hn1 alpha was, then full release. Graphics changed from realistic to cartoony
The Artstyle?
Yeah
tbh i accept both styles no hate
oh okay
There was a reason for HN1 to change art-style back then. HN3 do not have such reasons - the art style will stay the same
Ok thanks
well the OG artstyle is comfirmed
idk bout u guys
but this art style is OG to me
Hn3 reminds me of the og alpha days
i know but i wish there is a bigger community
it would make the game more better
Yeah
I wonder when the prototype 3 will be released
Hey Nikita! Not sure if you'll be able to answer this but can I ask you a question in #throwback-discussion
say it here
i mean if its not hn3 related i dont think the place is here
if its HN related i think the server is fine
It is HN related but its unrelated to HN3, so I was wondering if he'd be able to answer if I asked in the throwback channel
I don't want to just randomly ask here mid conversation
alright but all people use HN3 discussion
i predicted proto 2 would come out in may 2025
want me to predict again?
Oct
Why not
Nice
the proto looks
finished
and there is only few bugs
so it can come out in oct
but im not promising
Let me check steamdb too
it could be wrong
GOOD
it supports my prediction
they normally nothing new which prob means they are wrapping things up
Nikita, you're spoiling us today.
I wonder what kind of model the forest dweller will have in the third prototype, is it as simple or more complicated
I think it be more detailed
I wonder if Nikita has a favorite character in HN3 so far
Prototype 3 is already in October, and we're only being told about its AI:(
I think woodpeckers will fit the HN3 map
He also said that there is no longer an objective to escape ravenbrooks
Very old
But what about pigeons and llamas?
I wonder then what the new goal will be?
lamas is bad idea
we might need to save Isaac because he is still missing
The Llama farm was still in the books, but we haven't seen it.
I hope hn3 will be a long game, like to explore alot and to find secrets. And not just a short quick and easy game
His model is already there, so he will most likely be abducted in the middle of the game.
By the way, I almost decided on a profession with the help of HN after I played them. I would like to connect my life with this.
And I also hope for good optimization
I can even show you how I play P2
Let me find screenshot
Ggs
bros proto 2 is so unoptimised that it became proto 1
I do this on purpose to have at least 60 fps
Yes
I can show screenshot with proto 2 too
4 Fps
good god
Cooked
i dont even know how... that.... idk
I really hope that the optimization will be good this time
thats crazy
quick question, will hn3 have some characters from the books and other games besides the neighbor?
Sorry, I don't answer story related questions 🙂
ok, ig i’ll just wait and build some theories
i think i changed the cashier guys name to jeremiah one time
Will the 3 prototype have anything similar to the 1 prototype?
Maybe the atmosphere
Btw do you have a good plan for the neighbor being 85 years old, like what happened during those years?
hes retired from crazy
and i think thats about it
I wonder what happened to aaron
me too
moved 3 states away
i hope we’ll get told abt his fate
Imagine he died too
imagine we break into the guy from hn1s house and theres just like a family of 4
something will happen to it in this game because it was burnt down at the start of act 3 in hn1
i wish he didn’t, there’re plenty of variants what could happen to him and ending him by killing him is boring
Do you have any "Secret Information"? So if I ask you if Janusz has a wife, you won't answer me?
Ofc he would, his litteraly the creator
Well, he has an "Open Source development"
jansuz is in like his mid 20s
Do we have a confirmed amount of NPCs for prototype 3?
I thought he was under 50.
well we know 100 percent that all the vandals iris ,jacob ,Jansuses ,and the historian will be in it
so that's 7 already wow
Isacc might be in it but his missing posters are still present
i think the developer who made it wanted to be know for other games
not just angry neighbor
Good plan👍
but if the stupid 67 meme can get popular i guess what we can revive hn too
we need to make a meme about hn for it to get popular
anyone got ideas
People already have their thoughts set on HN
They think it's a buggy, poorly designed game that has been milked into being a franchise with other bad games
A meme won't make people magically change their minds
A game that people actually like would though
we can use that as a meme maybe
let me think of one
Memes making fun of HN? There's plenty of them
no
something else
idk what
but think with me about memes
THE INTERNET TURNED 2 NUMBERS INTO A MEME AND WE CANT MAKE A HN MEME?!
nikita random question but have you made any bulding concept art?
idk but i think yea
for hn3
Two numbers that most people were indifferent about VS a game franchise that people already hate
anyways
want to help me revive hn
i think of a meme
but we cant make ts corny
we need a perfect meme
trust me
People would need to play an HN game they actually like for it to be "revived"
@bronze phoenix please use this channel to chat about HN3. For previous games, please move to #hello-neighbor
Any estimate days for the release date for prototype 3
idk
We don't have one
def oct
we are predicting
Don't throw around
YES THE CHAT IS ALIVE
I might cry if it isn't october
Purely especulitive release dates
does words come out of ur second ear or u heard me say "we are predicting"
It looks very good so far
As if they're officially confirmed
What are things you guys want in the game
maybe almost everything i want in the game is there
hopefully
This
I hope they make the guest look cool
