We don't

for the release date

????

#

"I hope it does"

#

No Lol

#

Also

#

Thanksgiving, seriously?

#

PAID games release on thanksgiving to make more money

#

P3 is a free playtest build

river spire
#

prototip 3 tomorrow

civic totem
#

Christmas and Thanksgiving are dates that have nothing to do with HN3 whatsoever and thus it wouldn't make sense to release P3 at those dates

river spire
#

thats something to note

civic totem

#

You know, the holidays & such

Noooo

because hype equals more people play it

You are not making any sense

#

Goober

river spire
#

i was just trying to throw that idea out there

#

sorry if my way of saying it makes no sense

civic totem
#

Honestly, a far more "important" date would be, you know, November 10th

#

Since it's the anniversary of HN3's announcement

bronze steppe
#

yea

river spire
#

which is tomorrow

civic totem
#

Yes!

river spire

i guess it loops itself around

The bear meme is famous in hello neighbor why?

bronze steppe

[REDACTED]

whole obsidian

İt proof bro

#

Look this

open plaza

stop ragebaiting

mighty orchid
#

The reaction could just mean I don’t know

open plaza

he was clearly online before you even went into this chat

mighty orchid
#

It could just be that

untold grotto
raven pilot
#

carvaxil needs to chill

civic totem
#

What if Aleksander doesn't know what "ragebaiter" means 🤔

open plaza
#

well hes just saying stupid shit then

mighty orchid

Yea karvilax is just saying how it is

raven pilot
open plaza
#

aleksandr/nikita go offline if its today

#

omg they didnt go offline what

#

its not today!

untold grotto
#

like wht even is the logic of "alexander went offline its obv monday!"

open plaza
#

miguel said that? am i blind?

mighty orchid
#

Yea someone did yesterday too

mighty orchid
#

Or day before

open plaza
#

miguel just told me taht someone said taht
(adisan)

civic totem
#

Aleksander kept going offline and online on Friday

open plaza
mighty orchid
#

Oh yea and because a reaction on something people ran with that

open plaza
#

so

civic totem
#

I swear though, if he was really just baiting his own fanbase and wasn't teasing anything...

mighty orchid
#

Ok well so maybe someone else said

civic totem
#

Then that's not a good look

mighty orchid
#

A little trolling

civic totem
#

The worst possible time to do "A little trolling"

untold grotto
mighty orchid
#

He didn’t go out of his way to type anything misleading. It was just a reaction and him appearing online

civic totem
#

????

open plaza
#

its just confusing thats why i thought he was trolling or some

mighty orchid
#

Had he had said yes it’s today and it wasn’t I could see that as a bad look

open plaza
#

i genuinely cant tell no more

untold grotto
#

alexander went offline after i said "go offline if its monday" it HAS TO BE in monday dude

#

you understand????

mighty orchid
#

He just knows stuff

open plaza
#

but like

civic totem
open plaza
#

its really vague if thats the case lol

mighty orchid
civic totem
#

The 🤷‍♂️ emoji:

untold grotto
open plaza
#

🤷

high brook
civic totem
#

Edible Guest, you act as if someone can't seem to be implying anything by adding extremely cryptic emoji reactions to messages

mighty orchid
open plaza
#

i think yall are just reacting over nothing a bit
we'll see tomorrow evening anyway if somethings happening or not

mighty orchid
#

Or it does for me

open plaza
#

so just wait like a signle day

mighty orchid
#

I don’t use them though

civic totem
#

We literally got silence for a week after the P3 dropped and then a dev who hasn't interacted since May starts interacting and being really cryptic for no reason? Not A Good Look!

mighty orchid
#

If you see it that way

#

I guess it could

civic totem
#

Again it really does depend on if P3 actually releases on Monday

mighty orchid
#

So if it does then it meant something but if not then it’ll be when they put it out

royal solar
#

especially if its not actually tomorrow

@royal solar Hello bro

Hi karvilax

Hi Guys , tomorrow big day

royal solar
high brook
#

when was the last time nikita talked here?

raven pilot
high brook
hollow ore
royal solar
high brook
#

is it just me or has no one really made any animations with jacob or iris yet

raven pilot
royal solar
#

i wanted to but there arent any ports of the HN 3 map

#

and they are sooo out of place in a normal map

high brook
royal solar
river spire
high brook
#

iirc someone had the height maps for p1 but you would have to recreate it from that

royal solar
#

blender is such a advanced application

river spire
#

so im not sure thats possible

royal solar
river spire
#

although i have seen ports of the hn1 map that have accurate foliage so who knows

high brook
#

at one point i remember importing the P2 foliage into blender

#

it was for a render or something

#

also for some reason the foliage in hn3 uses that in engine coloring system so they export mostly gray without it

royal solar
#

we have to find the nikita headquarters and steal the flash drive that has the PT3 map ported to blender thats hidden in a vault with lasers

river spire
royal solar
#

the actual prototype is hidden in a dungon filled with the evil nikitalings

high brook
river spire
# royal solar yes

what about the 1 year olds begging nikita for hn2 alpha 2 android that doesnt exist

river spire
high brook
#

who was the guy who changed hn2s artstyle i forgot

river spire
#

he mightve done it because he didnt like hn

royal solar
#

not nikita

#

help

high brook
civic totem
#

It was probably Alexus

royal solar
#

it was whoever directed HN 2 after nikita left

civic totem
#

So Alexus

royal solar
#

yes

high brook
#

or did they quit

#

i cant remember

civic totem
#

He left

high brook
#

i still kinda dont think p3 is coming tomorrow

bronze steppe
#

we will see

mighty orchid
mighty orchid
#

No just the wording threw me off. Not a bad thing

Tomorrow or not tomorrow

Hope tommorow if not then hoping in this week

eager glade
#

Woooaaaw

high brook
#

if it is tomorrow steamdb might say something right?

royal solar
#

im begging 😭

royal solar
#

meaning people cannot spy on what they do through steam DB

#

and i think they have done just that

high brook
#

they caught on finally?

royal solar
#

im guessing so because they havent been any updates for a long time which is unusual if they are bug fixing

#

meaning they hidden the branch updates

#

so we aint getting shit 😭

lucid crescent
#

Chill

royal solar
#

😃 we are chill ?

lucid crescent
#

Tomorrow is a 1 year anniversary for Hello Neighbor 3

royal solar
#

thast the thing do they even care about anniversaries

#

they arent steel wool posting about every single tiny anniversary thast the thing

lucid crescent
#

Yes they do

royal solar
#

do they ?

lucid crescent
#

Nikita cares

royal solar
#

hmmm

#

okayy

sand flare
#

why dont we ask

narrow gust
#

It's the most likely date right now so all we can do is sit and hope until we know

bronze steppe
royal solar
#

why cant nikita just be like

#

no girl

#

and we can move on

#

😭

sand flare
#

if its not tomorrow ima crash out

civic totem
#

No one here has the guts to ping Nikita...

royal solar
#

@nykyta

civic totem
#

Although I don't think he would tell us if there will be something for HN3's announcement birthday

lucid crescent
#

Nikita don't share dates

woven lodge
#

Aleksandr said to wait.

civic totem
#

Wait

#

I just noticed something

sand flare
civic totem
#

Nikita usually talks here on weekends, but he hasn't talked here at all during the current weekend 👀

woven lodge
#

He last spoke on Wednesday and Thursday.

lucid crescent
#

Ok

civic totem
#

By "weekend" I mean on Saturday and Sunday

sand flare
woven lodge
civic totem
#

What is?

sand flare
#

is pretty soon sooner than soon soon or later than soon

eager glade
#

Wooooaaaaahhh

woven lodge
# civic totem What is?

Nikita has spoke on weekdays and weekends, it's not exactly a big deal if he skips a weekend.

high brook
#

didnt nikita say they finished filming the devlog a while ago or something

eager glade
#

I don't think they said it but I'm pretty sure they did

#

I'm sure nikita said a few days ago he is fixing some stuff then it'll be out

woven lodge
#

They are waiting for Christmas.

Hope it comes out tomorrow

#

sand flare
#

btw u should ask this in the hello neighbour channel not the hn3 channel👍

#

hello neighbor channel is for all hn games

bronze steppe
#

p3 is already done

#

that make 0% sense

sand flare
#

ikr

#

so is the dev log

open plaza
#

anything new guys?

sand flare
#

wait so if there both done they will probs release tomorrow like 80% chance

eager glade
sand flare
open plaza
eager glade
#

the animated series is for Christmas and I doubt them ending the series and releasing prototype 3

civic totem
eager glade
#

they'd lose more time on working on the alpha if they just wait around

#

Besides we got soke movie news before like Alex choosing actors or something like that and them talking about Collabs so I think there'll be a teaser of the movie after season 3 ends or something about the movie because I don't think we'd get a teaser that early

narrow gust
eager glade
#

Nikita said he's working on some fixed then he'll release it

open plaza
#

that was like 1.5 months ago

eager glade
#

He said that in the channel like a few days ago

bronze steppe
#

25 of october if im right

civic totem
#

I wish Nikita talked here today so I could ask him if they're still doing bugfixing for P3

eager glade
#

He said he'd finish them then release it

bronze steppe
#

nvm november 1

eager glade
#

If he finished i think a devlog would premiere some time around where they usually post stuff but literally days still didn't

narrow gust
#

Nikita is stalking the chat

#

I think

open plaza
eager glade
#

pleeasee give us something

bronze steppe

open plaza

I'll send you vids about it

I'm pretty sure it is

A whole town

#

And an amusement park

civic totem
open plaza
#

oh ok

whole obsidian
#

Bro btw

#

Movie is now one year old

eager glade
#

There may be other things too like we rewatch the trailer and see the map closely we might see how big it is

whole obsidian
#

But we have nothing

woven lodge
whole obsidian
#

Why no movie nee

#

New i mean

eager glade
#

I think the movie will release in like 2027

#

Or 2028 actually

civic totem
#

Every movie adaptation has radio silence after announcement

whole obsidian
open plaza
#

and almost a year since devlog 2

civic totem
open plaza
#

it doesnt have to be game adaptation.

eager glade
# woven lodge Are people genuinely mad at them for this?

It's a big project but still it is a prototype with like I think 2 new maps entirely maybe I'm wrong but with more npcs they'd deal alot of bug fixes and we heard that forever ago and we got a sign up now trailer I don't think it's coming in christmas other than the animated series

mighty orchid
open plaza
woven lodge
#

The prototypes are completely free, there is no reason to be mad at them for taking a little while with it.

whole obsidian
#

Prototip tomorrow bro

mighty orchid
open plaza
#

tbf im more interested in the devlog than the actual prototype
cuz i dont think p3 is going to be that big anyway that it'll actually be worth playing. ill just watch someone play or something.

and considering it may be even worse performance-wise than p2 my pc will have a hard time

#

im just waiting for the devlog atp

eager glade
woven lodge
#

I think they said they are working on performance too.

eager glade
#

A concept or model I just want my crowman stalking me again

woven lodge
#

Wait I read that wrong.

open plaza
woven lodge
#

It's going to be awful.

open plaza
#

yes lol

#

thats why im not playing it

#

i have like MIIIID hardware

civic totem
woven lodge
#

"P3 not going to be better optimized than P2."

open plaza

#

We shouldn't count on it being better though.

civic totem
lucid crescent
#

That doesn't mean anything can go wrong

mighty orchid
#

I mean if it’s a little choppy from time to time that’s not that bad so long as it’s not unplayable

eager glade
#

I'm still playing prototype 3 if performance gonna be bad tbh

open plaza
#

im just not gonna waste my time lol

#

i wont be playing until betas/alphas (if those come out)

mighty orchid
#

I’m not a tech guy I don’t know the specifics on that stuff but I think a little is better than to the point of not able to do anything

#

Considering it’s some early build as well. I would expect better from the final product but that’s a long ways ahead

eager glade
#

Also guys did they say that when NPCs catch you they'll drag you out or will it be the same captured and teleport back to a random area

lucid crescent
#

Guys

eager glade
#

Like in prototype 3

lucid crescent
#

Hello Neighbor 3 is in prototype stages

mighty orchid
#

No really

#

I didn’t know that thanks man

eager glade
#

ima be honest it's crazy to consider how prototype 3 looks like to be a prototype I know some stuff are very early staged like placeholder models and not very much detailed but the neighbor hood and just the people walking around in it with a spooky forest and amusement park

#

dang

bronze steppe
#

fr

eager glade
#

Thats a prototype

#

I literally would consider it to be the betas lol

spiral atlas
#

I'm really excited to see the later stages if the prototype looks like it does now

#

Like it's not gonna change a lot because the artstyle is already finalized but the polish is going to be so nice

eager glade
#

The alphas would look crazy.

bronze steppe
#

lucid crescent
#

Guys

#

Prototype 3 will release when it's done

#

Nikita will let us

Yeah

royal solar
#

no game should have a changing map every version that just sounds red alarms that something is wrong

#

so them doing this is actually really good for them and for us because we will get used to this map but we will see it change in ways and get more detailed

#

imma be gone from home all day and imma forget about it and when i come back its either gonna be out or not

bronze steppe
#

i have a feeling, not like the halloween one, but some kinda feeling

#

i mean just halloween was peak day for the release ngl

royal solar
bronze steppe
#

true

royal solar
#

and i mean it would be a cute full circle moment for it to release

bronze steppe
#

fr

#

and also mention the anniversary in the devlog would be peak tho

royal solar
#

a full year of development and how far we have come since prototype 1

bronze steppe
#

frrrr

#

and they do a recap talking about p1 and p2

#

that would be peakkk

royal solar
#

this devlog is gonna be insane i think

bronze steppe
#

i bet he is going to the neighbor model

#

and maybe guest concept art

royal solar
#

i wonder if he is in prototype 3

#

just they didnt show him yet

#

same with the forest dweller

bronze steppe
#

i think they will actually put him in the game in the alphas

royal solar
#

i wonder if there are catch animations now

high brook
#

didnt nikita say they would try to show more RBO footage in devlog? or prototype 0

bronze steppe
#

i dont think so idk why

royal solar
#

isnt it literally just HN 3 but multiplayer

bronze steppe
#

o p0

#

yea i saw that message somewhere

#

bout proto0

high brook
#

didnt nikita say P0 was like just a big city with a ton of npcs doing stuff

loud karma
#

i hope the neighbor appears in the same way he did in hn2 alpha 1

royal solar
#

soo technically the base for HN 3 lol

#

big city with npcs doing their stuff

bronze steppe
loud karma
#

or at least in the same aura as it

past cedar

fr

royal solar
#

honestly i wonder if we will get a start cutscene

#

wait i wonder if the storyline from PT 2 is gone

#

what is our reason for going into raven brooks ?

past cedar
royal solar
#

since there is no leave town storyline

past cedar
#

so its getting changed?

royal solar
#

it was always temporary lol

past cedar
#

oh

empty topaz
royal solar
#

its been said before that PT 3 wont have the whole escape town storyline so i wonder what the story is now

#

all fun games till we are a journalist named puentin investigating the town..

past cedar
#

maybe its that you have to save the town from the storm

loud karma
#

is the other detail the same of how you are in raven brooks just because you missed a bus the same

royal solar
empty topaz
royal solar
#

because frankly it doesnt make sense

#

why are you awaiting a bus in the middle of nowhere with no houses nearby with this random mysterious town right behind you

#

they would have to live nearby meaning raven brooks wouldnt be a unknown place

bronze steppe
royal solar
#

yeahh its his like whole thing

Ngl while, I think the bus story was nice about being stranded on some strange town not having any direct history I think I’m very excited to see where it goes next with whatever it’s heading

royal solar
#

it was nice but the whole thing didnt make sense

#

plus what coincidence that you need a bus right next to raven brooks which is this abandoned unknown town when there are buses in the town we live in 😭

mystic topaz
#

True lol

#

I would like to imagine the bus plot came to Nikita when he remembered the episode of SpongeBob where he went to rock bottom funnily enough Nikita said that, the rock bottom episode is his favorite one lol

#

I like that one

royal solar
#

rock bottom is literally just raven brooks

its ambient track 6

makes me feel nostalgic

since it uses samples from HN 2

the p3 trailer music is the best

HAHAA

HA

bro since when can youtube ads play on the small discord play thing

royal solar
#

the one from the trailer is ambient track 5 but the one in PT 3 is slightly different

#

has more layers

high brook
#

yea the trailer one has more bass and some vocals

royal solar
#

if you play the side by side the old one from PT 2 is missing some sounds

open plaza

I remember in the first announcement for hn3 the one where signed was walking on the trail whistling that’d be cool if that happened in the game where we can hide in the woods and stuff

he wont be just a map barrier lol

oh what

what will he do

whatever that bird does

if the forest dweller is in p3 he NEEDS a chase theme i swear

OHH LETS GO

We’ll probably get the danger mechanic again when we snoop around some place we’re not supposed to be in I wonder if they’ll add anything new to it or just keep it as is as it was in p2

I remember there being an image of gerdas bakery in some big field it was very far away it was before the full game came out

the map was really weird ngl

I would like to believe that was one of the other test maps they had for hn2 but didn’t use it idk

Imagine if Janusz turns out to be Gerdas dad

speaking of iirc I remember hearing the storm was supposed to slowly come after every neighbor you go to leading up to the neighbors boss fight where there was a storm supposed to happen but went scrapped I’m glad the storm is being used again in hn3

That would’ve been nice to see in the game ngl

Most likely supposed to be the FG map but due to deadlines over got near finished so they used their most polished Test map as the FG map.

mystic topaz
#

It’s weird knowing how colorful the mainline HN games are and then hn3 is just vanished of life

high brook

#

which is pretty cool, while hn3s raven brooks feels dead and alone it still feels comforting in a way

past cedar
earnest cape
#

What HN2 needed more of.

jade night
# high brook if the forest dweller is in p3 he NEEDS a chase theme i swear

I don't think there will ever be chase themes.. ever, in HN3.

There is a system in HN3 (unused because it's probably for when the guest is a AI walking around), that's basically when you're in danger or near the guest, that one creepy ambient starts playing (the one in the teaser with the qr code).

earnest cape
#

But won’t be mad.

mystic topaz
#

HN2 felt more comfortable like really really comfortable especially with the addition of kids playing in the background and people talking in their houses and stuff it felt very liveable that made you want to live in Raven Brooks feels very relaxed in a way

i wonder what even made them want to change the hn2 artstyle

Sounds cool but what if they start overlapping with eachother

can anyone suggest what challenges for hn3 prototypes can i do? i have done jumpless for now

if historian did have a theme I could imagine it sounding ancient

#

will issac chase you if youre enemies with him
if yes then his chase theme would be weird

jade night
#

Chase themes kind of just suck, I really dislike the HN2 ones.
It wouldn't work well if a lot of characters are chasing you at the same time, how would they combat that? it's also just less immersive if a loud chase theme starts playing for literally no apparent reason if you don't even know what's happening, I found it much more scary when you don't even know that you are being chased until you are caught suddenly

earnest cape
#

Yeah I’m starting to have second thoughts on chase themes.

mystic topaz
#

a little kid chasing you lol

earnest cape
#

Just have an audio queue when they are chasing you.

mystic topaz
#

Speaking of

#

I wonder what made them wanna make Isaac a kid

#

since he was an adult initially

royal solar
jade night
past cedar
royal solar
#

and he has a house

mighty orchid
#

I wouldn’t say for no apparent reason since you should figure out oh that’s when they are chasing me

mystic topaz
#

in the metadata of the concept photo of the purple kid I believe it said Isaac

earnest cape
jade night
# royal solar in prototype 2 his missing poster is an adult man

It just looks unfinished, Isaac was just meant to be the person that get's kidnapped by the guest in the game, it makes sense if he was a kid because he probably just wondered off into the forest, or lured by what looks like a friendly face but when you get closer, the face tilts down only to reveal the inside of a beak.. crow

royal solar
#

meaning he was an older man in his old design

#

which is stuff that changes all the time

earnest cape
#

Should be a base for what audio queue should be like in HN3.

royal solar
#

i would send the photo but ive been robbed of my image perms AGAIN

jade night
mystic topaz
#

It would be cool if we had a story where there was an adult going missing in a HN game since mostly in the HN media it’s mostly kids I do remember the HN2 alphas tried doing it with the neighbor going “missing” and then it changed to him being present again lol

earnest cape
#

Like the actual HN2 OST?

jade night

I would like to believe the raven brooks banner got absolutely destroyed, if not would be cool to see it come back

Well technically it’s not listening

Ah

earnest cape
#

I tried to make it sound more quiet since you were seeing something connected to a past important character (Quentin).

past cedar
#

wait actually now after thinking about it hn3 makes so much sense
in patch 10 the whole town was supposed to be destroyed by the cult (you can tell by the photos in patch 9)
and now in hn3 we have a half abandoned town

earnest cape
mystic topaz

For sure

jade night

Let me try and find it

But you do actually 😊

if it was HN3'ified it would be a guitar, and a lite synth in the background to create room for the track.

royal solar
#

to past characters

earnest cape
#

I don’t care if they don’t bring back past characters like Quentin in any way but it would be cool to see the Banner in a future broken state as a call back.

earnest cape
royal solar
#

i would physically jump from fear hearing the bakery theme

#

that woman scares me

#

😭

earnest cape

The banner would be perfect thing to have as a call back IMO.

mystic topaz

yall remember that bug in beta where she would make an infinite amount of croissants and lag out the game

try it

or move the installation location of the playtest

#

pretty funny that the folder for hn2 is called hn2 beta

high brook
#

also this is kinda random but i wonder why they never really made any merch for hn2

jade night
# earnest cape I don’t care if they don’t bring back past characters like Quentin in any way bu...

The way I'm fairly sure HN3 works is that, HN2 and it's locations and characters don't interfere with HN3
it's HN1 to HN3.
it's basically Nikita's vision of what HN2 would have been and in HN2 the banner had a purpose, being Quintin's place of residence, it wouldn't serve a purpose in HN3 unless there was a character that had a job there but that's sort of unlikely, if the banner were to return as a location, it would probably be more like a radio station, and would look very different.

But it seems like HN3 doesn't take any inspiration or ideas from HN2 besides the core gameplay loop within a town, messing around with residents and discovering secrets, HN3 does take heavy inspiration from HG/Early HN2 though, with the storm, the guest itself, and the amusement park, so i'd expect a character like Mith to appear in some form or concept, more then any other HN2 character, since the vandals were already brought back from HG.

mystic topaz
#

Since you could only get the merch on their store

#

I would like to think it’s because maybe they didn’t consider but then again, guest Funko pop would go hard

high brook
#

i wonder why they never made any action figures for hn2

#

guest action figure would be sick

mystic topaz
#

Yeah

#

a baking kit to make Gerdas pie from hn2 would be nice

THIS OLD CUTSCENEE

mystic topaz
#

Quentin almost got pitchforked honestly one of the darkest introductions ngl

high brook
#

i rmember that intro

#

it took like a while for it to load

mystic topaz
#

I feel like maybe they wanted it to take place in the daytime originally I remember them posting a teaser of that in broad daylight idk though

past cedar
#

i remember the cutscene when exiting the barn being so broken

#

you could see guest t pose

mystic topaz
#

Yeah

high brook
#

one time i was able to get out of the barn without triggering the guest scene

mystic topaz
#

they should have kept the guest nightmare in the full game as the introduction again but altered

empty topaz
#

i didn't know that if signed breaks the turned on generator, you die too if you stand close to him. i mean at least it makes sense why you die

mystic topaz
#

Yeah

raven pilot
#

it is been a while since i dont play the beta 1.0

high brook
#

i remember seeing youtubers playing the beta 0.1 or whatever

raven pilot
#

i loved the beta

mystic topaz
#

Dakblake I remember he skipped the museum scene I think, I think it was because the back window or something was open but it was closed up in a patch lol

raven pilot
#

the demo is better imo tho

past cedar
#

by leaving through the stairs

mystic topaz
#

Oh

past cedar
#

i remember being able to throw gas into the fire and it makes the whole building be in smokes in beta

mystic topaz
#

same that was one of my favorite things to do

#

again it’s a shame most of the stuff were removed in the full game I hope something like that comes back to hn3 like how we can just cause havoc around town and stuff

past cedar
#

same

mystic topaz
#

I mean we kinda can cause havoc like personally I find using the jars fun to use for the ais to slip on particularly Jacob lol

#

but adding upon this I hope there’ll be more stuff we can cause havoc and mayhem

reef widget
#

Never really got the chance to use the jars especially when trying to sneak in a house or maybe just being 3 stories high trying to start the festival

#

Also I hope the durability gets a rework

#

I had to always use all the items I had to get the transmitter thingy

raven pilot
earnest cape
#

So I just looked back at the Trailer we got and I’m pretty sure the cutout by the GAAP is the Golden Apple Mascot which looks very similar to The Guest.

#

You can also see a giant cutout of him holding a golden apple at the entrance:

high brook
#

maybe increase the brightness of the image?

earnest cape
earnest cape
#

There it should’ve updated the original photo too.

#

So yeah that’s the Golden Apple Mascot

high brook
#

you can kinda see his head

earnest cape
high brook
#

also doesnt the small cutout appear somewhere else too

earnest cape
high brook
#

hes like at the bottom of the image

earnest cape
#

Mhm.

#

Golden Apple Mascot is quite literally identical to The Guest just wears different shirt and gloves.

#

In lore is what The Guest would have based his design on.

high brook
#

i wonder how long it would take me to recreate the cutout rn

earnest cape
#

Not to mention how the owner of the Golden Apple is part of The Cult and they all have similar outfits to the Mascot for Cult costumes in AS.

quick crow

WHERE IS PROTOTIP 3

high brook
#

or is you different timezone?

quick crow

Wdym

did they even announce a release date?

I dont remember them announcing its release date

they dont announce dates anymore

Then why would you say its not tommorow yet?

Yesterday yet??

tbh i kindaa agree

#

a little no or yes wouldnt hurt

like i get it no promises !!!

but can we keep that to the final game mostly

past cedar
#

if they dont wanna give specific dates at least give if it will release in around 2 weeks/few hours

royal solar
#

honestly yeah just anything

#

this silence is what makes the wait so unbearable

#

nothing to look foward to

blissful river
#

Im excited to explore P3.

grand jay
cyan hamlet
#

what is the time limite gonna be like in p3

#

it was a bit longer in p2

#

i think

empty topaz
cyan hamlet
#

like until the game ends

#

ingame

#

storm

empty topaz
#

we have no idea i believe

cyan hamlet
#

i hope its longer

empty topaz
#

i think it might be longer than in p2 because there are more things to explore if i am not wrong

cyan hamlet
#

yeah

#

i thought the full game was gonna be 'real time' or something

royal solar
#

in prototype 3 the storm isnt the end

#

so i dont think there is a end to the prototype per say

#

i think it will just go on

#

with the storm just happening

#

like in RBO

cyan hamlet
#

so after the storm ends it just carries on?

royal solar
#

yes thats what i think. in RBO the storm would be something that just happened and then the game would go on

#

so i think this is the same concept

cyan hamlet
#

oh

royal solar
#

the storm happens. it destroys stuff then it stops and u get a choice to either fix it or leave it be

cyan hamlet
#

would the end be something else then?

royal solar
#

so im not sure

#

i dont really know how a sandbox can end

cyan hamlet
#

im pretty sure the full game will have like a few hours time limit

royal solar
#

i dont think so honestly i think it cheapens the gameplay loop since the entire premise of the game is to explore

#

and it being timed would rush players

#

aka no time for exploring and just rushing things

cyan hamlet
#

it was in a devlog i think they said that

royal solar
#

i dont remember nikita saying that

cyan hamlet
#

devlog 1 i think

#

or something he said here

#

or i just got that from nowhere or something

royal solar
#

he didnt say anything like that he said

#

''if you decide to intervene everything can be changed'' which is just the gameplay loop

#

the butterfly effect

#

which again timing that would be a horrible idea

cyan hamlet
#

oh

#

what

royal solar
#

so what i think personally is that the storm will just happen and we will get a choice to either help people and repair or leave it be

#

which i think is a lot more sandboxy then ending it right after the storm

mystic topaz
#

it would be cool if there was more than the sirens going off when the storm comes like there'd be a indicator text or something saying "The Storm is Coming!" Or something

cyan hamlet
#

nah

royal solar
#

i dont want that i want minimal UI

cyan hamlet
#

same

royal solar
#

i want indicators in the enviroment

#

the wind picking up and leafs flying about

mystic topaz
#

Right

#

yeah I think that would be cooler

royal solar
#

i think nikita commented on how the game works wait

cyan hamlet
#

?

royal solar
mystic topaz
#

Got the link before it vanished lol

royal solar
#

ITS LITERALLY A LINK TO THE MESSAGE IN THIS SERVER

#

this bot can go eat shit i swear to god

cyan hamlet
#

bro what

#

send it again quickly

royal solar
#

no

cyan hamlet
#

bruhe

royal solar
#

there is this

mystic topaz
#

Yeah I think its cool that theres a sense of "more than meets the eye" like theres more to be seen

royal solar
#

okay i think i was wrong lmao

mystic topaz
#

rather than how usually in the HN games the game holds your hand and you have to go find secrets based on what the game advises you to do but in HN3 you have the choice

royal solar
#

tbh i still dont like the storm that way because like raven brooks is known to have storms literally every other day

#

so why is this one storm specifically just evil

mystic topaz
#

Same

cyan hamlet
#

so it does have a time limit?

royal solar
#

i suppose ?

cyan hamlet
#

yeah i thought so

royal solar
#

i still dont like it i think its a really weird decision on nikitas part but yk

#

its his game

#

do what ever u want

mystic topaz
spiral atlas
#

I'm pretty sure he's said there will be a time limit but it'll be like 6 hours or so

#

Or something like that

royal solar
#

i just find it strange that this random storm is the one that randomly destroys the town known for having these storms daily

#

i find it cheap

mystic topaz
#

Yeah

cyan hamlet
#

its not that deep

royal solar
#

like why would you even include that

cyan hamlet
#

just a gameplay mechanic

royal solar
#

u can like it but i dont have to

cyan hamlet
#

just a gameplay mechanic

royal solar
#

andd that doesnt mean i cant have an opinion it

#

hope ts helps

cyan hamlet
#

lol never said you couldnt

royal solar
#

☺️ yeah

spiral atlas
royal solar

yeah unless they explain it then i dont like it honestly. especially when this town is known for having these storms
