[idle narwhal]

No.

[near hawk]

The non-canon Hello Guest or what?

He didn't even die there

[modest elm]

It's not a fact that Quentin even existed, and the second part is an urban legend.

[idle narwhal]

That is not confirmed in the slightest.

[near meadow]

Any steamdb updatesv

[untold grotto]

no

[modest elm]

Nikita said it himself.

Тут вообще есть русские ?

[near meadow]

Really I thought there was one this morning

That sceenshot

[untold grotto]

it happened to all steam apps yesterday

[near meadow]

Oh

[untold grotto]

it affected 268k items

[visual cobalt]

#russian-chat

[modest elm]

Thanks

[visual cobalt]

No insults please @modest elm

[modest elm]

I am so sorry

[idle narwhal]

I want to see that screenshot where Nikita said "HN2 is an urban legend".

[past cedar]

will pre-alpha be put as its own game on steam or will it be in the playtest thing?

[idle narwhal]

The same as every other version before.

[night vigil]

The guest was called an “urban legend” at some point, yes, but not hn2 that’s for sure

[idle narwhal]

The Guest yes, HN2 no.

But even that can't be the case anymore with AS and HN3.

[near hawk]

Why not

[idle narwhal]

I am trying to work with the information we have.

Alex said that the Guest's origin story won't be in a flashback and in HN3, well he's there aswell + we see the Guest in a cutscene unrelated to the player.

[near hawk]

I'm not sure how do those contradict the guest being an urban legend? I mean, the guest, the person can have his backstory in AS(though it's different from HN3) and there could have been an urban legend of some bird guy that steals stuff.

[idle narwhal]

I am not denying it, again, I just try to work with the given information.

[near hawk]

I don't think any given information states against the guest being an urban legend

[idle narwhal]

We just have to wait and see.

[high brook]

Wait pre alpha got packaged on steam db?

Or something

[tall sorrel]

it was a steam-wide thing

hn1 also got affected

among like 200k other games

[high brook]

I still think it could mean something

[near hawk]

It was just an update for most games i think

If we used that as news for HN3 or smth, we could also say something is coming for every game that got updated

[night vigil]

Hn1 and hn2 had the same thing happening

[past cedar]

it probably happened to games that had custom branches

in the betas tab

[high brook]

so hn3 had a custom beta branch?

🤔

[thick tendon]

Guys

I have a theory

[crystal hare]

what theory

[thick tendon]

I think Alex Nichiporchik and the Zodiac Killer are the same person.

[crystal hare]

who is zodiac killer

[thick tendon]

Alex Nichiporchik

[crystal hare]

no i mean what zodiac killer is famous for

[quartz canopy]

killing zodiacs

[thick tendon]

For producing hn franchise

[crystal hare]

absolute cinema

[thick tendon]

There's a proofs

[crystal hare]

didn't see. Was there something inpropriate or what

[tawny tendon]

serial killer

that's it

[crystal hare]

bruh

[celest plank]

man rewatching the hello neighbor 3 devlogs feels just so good

its one of the many reasons i love the project so much

[eager glade]

devlog 3 is so cool

[celest plank]

defo my favorite

its crazy i can even have a favorite devlog cause what

theyre supposed to be informational videos

the hn3 ones are just straight up movies 😭

[night vigil]

Btw, there needs to be a place in the HN3 Full Game where you can watch all the devlogs on a tv or something like that, idc what anybody thinks, that needs to be a thing

[celest plank]

oh yeah absolutely

[random shell]

I think the most exciting thing about hn 3 is that raven brooks finally adopted the modern language

It’ll make the story telling easier to understand

[idle narwhal]

Thank you for the summary. 👍

[mighty orchid]

Now we need to know if they’ll adopt Fahrenheit or Celsius

[limpid cosmos]

guys is there gonna be like cutscenes about the backstory about raven brooks? (thats my prediction) (in the final release of the game)

[nocturne jacinth]

has there been any optimization?

and what can you share about what has been optimized

like trees possibly?

[restive oxide]

unlikely

[finite carbon]

Any predictions for Pre-Alpha release date?

I’m guessing May or June

[random shell]

Wdym by cut off?

[limpid cosmos]

Another new ending about Mr Peterson

I’m sure

[random shell]

I’m sure he’s in the pre-alpha

I meant not just in a cut scene

[bronze phoenix]

btw thank u for ur summery

it really helped me

[random shell]

Like from the game or just the pre-Alpha

[wild girder]

Isaac just for pre alpha. We don't know about Iris, it depends if she's required for the story later down the road.

[random shell]

Oof I hope they don’t cut iris. I like her design. I hope the neighbor is wondering around in the pre alpha

[bronze phoenix]

he will not be in pre alpha I think

[random shell]

Is this speculated or confirmed?

[bronze phoenix]

Speculated

nikita never confirmed the neighbor being in Pre alpha

but its not impossible

Nikita Dident even show us 40% of the Pre alpha

[random shell]

My theory he is but either way he’s not gonna confirm it I think more like 70%

[bronze phoenix]

70% is too much for nikita to show us

nikita only showed us redesigns and 15 sec gameplay clip

and 4 images

other then that we are clueless

[random shell]

They seem to have his design completed from that YT post on New Year’s and Christmas break thing, I understand why they wouldn’t or would put him the pre alpha

[bronze phoenix]

just because the design is finished dosent mean he is

cause

they need to do coding + tweaking + animations for the Neighbor

[random shell]

It’s kind of feeling like hello neighborhood without him lol. But I understand why they leaving it for a surprise

[trim reef]

So it's open world, and impacted by your actions--but if there are general objectives; could your actions result in skewing with the objective or would there be dynamic endings depending on the actions you choose. Also, would any of these be the "real ending"--or would each ending lead to what you originally planned to happen at the end of the storyline for Hello Neighbor 3?

Also, you don't have to confirm this since I'm sure HN4 has barely crossed your mind, but if HN4 is the same plot as HN3--would your actions in HN3 transfer into the world of HN4? (Hypothetical situation)

I honestly like the idea of finally adding some objectives--even if they're vague... This is due to the previous installments in the franchise that seem to get confusing and overwhelming trying to figure out what to do without a guide, so adding this in HN3 is a solid move that I feel would keep the community clearer-minded while playing and interacting with the dynamic and diverse world of HN3. It would also be way more time saving than running around and solving all the puzzles without sitting there for hours (total avg gameplay time) trying to figure out what to do and or watching guides online.

[civic patio]

why has Mr. Peterson been wearing the same outfit for like 20-30 years

[peak solar]

I choose to believe he has a closet containing several copies of the same outfit

[blissful river]

I agree with this statement.

[civic patio]

Literally Spongebob

[unkempt sable]

[cobalt sable]

Nikita, when is the second part of "Butterfly in the City"?

[night vigil]

I thought the pre-alpha wasn’t gonna be a big deal. But going off of what we heard, it’s sounds like a whole lot of stuff changing, and being added.

[unkempt sable]

[wicked moth]

Will Jacob have an updated model in pre-alpha? Or will he just use the one in p3?

[celest plank]

he will probably stay the same

he is gonna get updated at one point tho

[crystal hare]

Will he even be in pre-alpha..?

[celest plank]

yes

[gleaming acorn]

If you look closely, hn3's outfit is actually slightly different

so he's really only been wearing the same outfit for like a few months to a year

and he's changed clothes at least one time in 32 years

[low gate]

his pattern is more like plaid now

[gleaming acorn]

you're right, it's not slightly different it's like entirely different

[frosty summit]

JACOB LOOKS BEAUTIFUL

[violet vessel]

JACOB MENTIONED AWWWW❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[blissful shuttle]

Good timing

[high brook]

He looks so cool

Can’t wait to see him in game

[simple topaz]

for some reason i dont like the artstyle of hn3 at all

im sorry but i think it looks kinda ugly

[cold mauve]

i am slighty confused( forgive me if i lost a piece of story) but why is the hello neighbor neighborhood so...forgotten now? did the town abandoned it, or a long time passed...?

[tawny tendon]

🤔

[blissful shuttle]

Idk

Lemme check mutual

Yes

Imagine not knowing bonniefan

[prisma crescent]

w jacob 🥹

[blissful shuttle]

No

[prisma crescent]

yooo

[high brook]

Wait is new Jacob retexture or new model too

[blissful shuttle]

At this point if you're not in atleast 1 hn fangame server are you even a real hn fan?

[chrome sorrel]

Why does jacob look like he’s suffocating💔

[blissful shuttle]

Hes kinda like siren head

[violet vessel]

Trevor Henderson mentioned

[blissful shuttle]

His legs are the first thing i would see

[eager glade]

wow yacob looks GOOD

[bronze steppe]

jacob looking clean

[slender basin]

Hey folks, please keep the channel on topic. Here's the place to chat about HN3

[empty shell]

jacob looks so awesome!!

[prisma crescent]

jacob is a mysterious fella

[cold mauve]

(forgive me if i lost a piece of story) why is the hello neighbor neighborhood so...forgotten now? did the town abandoned it, or a long time passed...?

[broken galleon]

hey is there anyway to change my server nickname

[untold grotto]

what does this mean

[chilly sundial]

Is jacob

[slender basin]

We can change it for you. What nickname would you like?

[broken galleon]

Bubble

[idle narwhal]

I thought the one from P3 was awesome but this one is just wow!

[cold mauve]

the town in the 3 game looks more empty and abandoned, im sorry, im just not understanding what happened to the town to be like that

[broken galleon]

thank you 🙏

[untold grotto]

theres storms going on

[prisma crescent]

i like how all the npc's are purple

well blue and purple

[cold mauve]

oh so they are going away because of that
thank you!

[prisma crescent]

i hope jacob escapes the storm ❤️‍🩹

[late scroll]

Hello dailyhn3news

[broken galleon]

Son 😭😭

[vernal osprey]

jacob looks punchable

[vernal osprey]

im sorry i really dont understand how he's more important than iris or isaac

[haughty tide]

i guess jacob is getting the quentin threatment.

[tawny tendon]

He looks like he has been depressed since day 1

[late scroll]

Sorry bro

[gleaming acorn]

Some of them are green 😈

[prisma crescent]

i never knew that

shoutout to the green npcs aswell 🥹

[haughty tide]

never knew that? you haven't see the other hn3 characters?

[prisma crescent]

i haven't really looked into hn3

i've played the prototypes but i forgot about most of the stuff

[haughty tide]

how is it hard to forget about the other characters being green?

[high brook]

I have a feeling pre alpha is right around the corner

I might be wrong for the 5th time again though

[severe merlin]

Understandable. Visual style is really a personal preference. You might still like the game as a whole, though. 🙂

[night vigil]

Idk, it's sounds like a lot. Plus, pretty sure they want to release it with the Cartoon, and of course Devlog 4. Sounds like even more

[simple topaz]

i hope

[haughty tide]

hey nikita i have a question. do you think that iris should have a chance to come back for hn3, even if you and the team would need to rework on her?

[severe merlin]

We don't know. It's not about chances. We build story and some characters find their place in it, some need to be created to occupy certain role. As for Iris, it really depends if there's a logical place for the character.

[haughty tide]

well i hope you and the team will find a place for her in the story during the development.

[eager glade]

are there more things in pre alpha we can expect like more buildings 👀

[crystal hare]

are there more characters that are removed from pre-alpha? (apart from iris and Isaac)

[celest plank]

jacob is gorgeous

[severe merlin]

There's one thing that was moved to the later stages - RC car.
We're not able to make it in time, so it's not in pre-Alpha. Requires more work than we initially though and we don't have that extra time.
But no worries, we still plan to have it, but later

[icy notch]

will it atleast be in the files 🥺

[loud karma]

decied to make the image on the left for comparison purposes

[lunar trail]

he gained his soul back

[gleaming acorn]

that is leagues better, jacob used to look real odd

[unborn fox]

Why does Jacob always has depressed face card 😭

[unborn fox]

I'm in pre alpha btw 😌

[loud karma]

gotta love how his P3 model is just his P1/2 model but edited to be a blockout

[gleaming acorn]

certainly fooled some people into thinking it was the finished mesh

[celest plank]

where did man lose his second glove

[gleaming acorn]

guy in my dms really loved talking about how much jacob sucked

and sent me pictures of jacob's pristine shoes

like i don't even know fella that much he just showed up

[unborn fox]

How many models of yacob currently exist?

[loud karma]

4

[near hawk]

Jacob*

[unborn fox]

It's pronounced yacob

[loud karma]

RBO Jacob, P1/P2 Jacob, P3 Jacob, and Final Jacob

[near hawk]

It's typed Jacob though, and you're typing.

[unborn fox]

It will become like 6 or 7 in total

[unborn fox]

But what if I want to improve.

[lavish ravine]

Peak remodel

[loud karma]

RBO Jacob and P1/P2 Jacob are similiar, it's just that RBO Jacob uses the textures Jacob uses when he was first revealed and in the old steam screenshots

[unborn fox]

I don't like Jacob, he's really dead.

[unborn fox]

He should go instead of Issac 😔

[near hawk]

Or instead of Iris.

[lavish ravine]

Question I'm not even sure has been asked or answered: Will there be any other new characters that will be implemented in the pre-alpha?

[wooden condor]

Dear Mr. Kolesnikov, why do you remove the first thing that we seen in the pre-alpha teasers? That dosen't really makes sence, i don't think it is that hard to realize, because we seen it working it the teaser. The only thing that should be added here is inventory icon, and that it.

[unborn fox]

You should agree with my opinions like this more often frigid.

Not Nikita putting a curse on us again

[idle narwhal]

He explained why in the same message.

[wooden condor]

He did, but I don't see what should be implemented into it.

[peak solar]

I do think it was probably a good idea moving it up to something they add later

[loud karma]

wonder what other object models got an upgrade besides the flashlight

[celest plank]

i wonder if the inventory will be reworked

it was really cool in hn2

and hello guest iirc

[high brook]

Probably the box

And the binoculars

And the crowbar

That’s my guess

[wild girder]

Was Jacob originally planned to be the main protagonist for HN3 or was he an NPC from the start?

[unborn fox]

He was a playable character

[trim pine]

Is it just me, or Jacob now looks a bit more serious? I don't know, it just feels like something in his face changed but I'm not sure what exactly

[unborn fox]

He looks cursed

[vernal osprey]

i still don't understand how jacob is more important in the story than iris (who is literally isaac's sister??)

[wild girder]

I'm just happy he's still in the game. He's my favourite character.

[unborn fox]

Fr just remove him from the story already

[vernal osprey]

iris is my fav char in hn3 and I'M DEVASTATEDDD
i need her back

[wild girder]

I wish he stayed as the protagonist, I really love his design, I remember when HN3 first got announced and I saw Jacob I thought he was going to be our character and I absolutely loved his design. Probably because he wears a lot of blue and blue is my favourite colour.

[vernal osprey]

iris is getting the beatrix treatment

i'm not even joking

[eager glade]

NOO

[eager glade]

his face looks like he seen all of kayam

[trim pine]

My guess would be simply just charisma. He was one of the first characters in HN3 and I guess people just really liked his screaming sound. To be honest, I like Coned and Signed more.

[unborn fox]

He is USELESS

[trim pine]

What's kayam?

[wild girder]

I think it's just Mayak reversed

[eager glade]

yakam

[trim pine]

He's literally the only mechanic in town and Iris's friend, so technically lore-wise, he's useful to the locals.

[eager glade]

hooooooooow

[wild girder]

Does anyone else find it strange how the characters are way more colourful than the environment? How the environment looks now is more or less what it's going to be like in the full game, just updated a little bit in some aspects.

[vernal osprey]

iris was also one of the first characters and so what
she still was deleted

[eager glade]

I need my crowbars in his workshop

[vernal osprey]

hot take we need more women in hello neighbor

[near hawk]

Same can be said for Iris tbf.

[wild girder]

I mean we might be playing as one so.

[eager glade]

I dont see the big deal for her to be removed for now

[vernal osprey]

i rlly hope we're playing as one

[eager glade]

She could look WAY better

[unborn fox]

I'm saying compared to Iris and Issac, coz they are currently removed.

[near hawk]

There's already a good amount.
Now If Beatrix wasn't scrapped perfect.

[eager glade]

I mean it would make sense for isaac to be removed too cuz they have the same story as brother and sister

[near hawk]

We might be playing as a guy too tbf

[eager glade]

I think we're focusing on someone else's story maybe us?

[celest plank]

I mean it would make sense for isaac to be removed too cuz they have the same story as brother and sister

[wild girder]

Isaac will be back, his part of the story just hasn't been added yet.

[near hawk]

Nah Isaac is probably returning

[eager glade]

hey

that's what I said

[near hawk]

Iris might not

[celest plank]

ma[te

[unborn fox]

Whyy 😔

[near hawk]

Sue him Browny!!!

[vernal osprey]

ngl still not enough
in games we have only diana (npc), gerda (npc), the librarian (npc)
and historian with covered

[eager glade]

Nitwit

[near hawk]

Fair

[trim pine]

I understand your viewpoint, but I think it's better if they're kept to a minimum. Games with too much women tend to attract the attention of a different kind of fanbase (I'm really sorry if it sounds inappropriate, I just wanted to warn you.)

[wild girder]

NGL. I don't really think it matters that much how many characters in Hello Neighbor are women.

[broken galleon]

not a hot take

[unborn fox]

The concept of this chat actually discussing hello neighbour 3

[near hawk]

I'll be the your attorney!

[wild girder]

As long as the characters are good, that's all they really need to be.

[eager glade]

i wanna sue him for 5000 season 3 teasers

[celest plank]

theres something agbout those legs

they look like poles

[vernal osprey]

there are quite a lot of misogynists in the hello neighbor fandom, so i thought it can be considered a hot take......idk

[eager glade]

wait thats true LMAOO

[celest plank]

idk if its just me but i think in other hn games the characters' body shapes were sort of more pronounced

hidk how tio say it

[wild girder]

There are? I did not know that.

[eager glade]

oh yeah i js realized now that jacobs finished

were so close to the pre alfa

[near hawk]

Idk i haven't really encountered that many.

[wild girder]

NGL. I thought his prototype 3 design was his finished one seeing as it's much more high quality than the others.

[near hawk]

Not on reddit, not on Tumblr, not on yt.

[night vigil]

Honestly, same

[vernal osprey]

trust me, there's already a "different kind of fanbase" they just draw and write inappropriate stuff of kids which is worse in my opinion

[unborn fox]

*alpha

[peak solar]

I genuinely think it's surreal that it's been 12 years since Hello Neighbor started development

[eager glade]

alfa

[eager glade]

yep

[near hawk]

Fie! Thou hath disrespected the Goat! Thou shalt be sentenced to an eternity of HN retrospective videos

[celest plank]

yeah its crazy

[unborn fox]

Brownie. We need to talk about your education.

[peak solar]

For the anniversary, it would be fun if he decided to go digging through his old harddrives again to find stuff

[eager glade]

but im doing the reference.. iykyk

[unborn fox]

How shall thou dare discriminate me?!

[celest plank]

*brownie

what

[peak solar]

though I do have my own personal holy grail

[celest plank]

*browny

[peak solar]

....but I don't think Nikita or anyone else on the team would've recorded any footage of it

[near hawk]

How dareth thou copyth me?!

[unborn fox]

I did no such deed thou art mad

[peak solar]

Footage of the original Raven Brooks testmap from when HN2 still had the outskirts thing planned for it early on.

[near hawk]

Now i shall sue thou and @Browny #1 Trinity fan shalt be my lawyer

[peak solar]

it's pretty much the only thing I believe nobody has

[unborn fox]

Thou art behaving childishly. I shall not comply!

[celest plank]

bro am i the only one who's more excited for the devlogs?? 😭

[near hawk]

Probably yeah.

[celest plank]

than the game

[near hawk]

I mean the devlogs are goated, don't get me wrong

[celest plank]

prolly cause my pc is on life support when trying to play hn3

[peak solar]

If God (nikita) is listening, give me a sign.... /j

[near hawk]

But the game...

[vernal osprey]

tt is full of them trust me

[unborn fox]

Proof?

[celest plank]

frigid it would be good if you sent me a pc

[near hawk]

Oh.
I see.

[peak solar]

they were working on an intro sequence for the game early on during the Alpha days

there's a few remnants of the map logic, but we don't have footage of it

[near hawk]

I haveth no moreth than oneth

[celest plank]

yeah thats your problem mate

so like i forgot what i had to say

[unborn fox]

Lo, this is why thou art of no use to more

[bronze phoenix]

jacob looks good, great job Devs

Cant wait for the Pre alpha 👍

[night vigil]

Really hyped for Devlog 4 too. Devlog 3 was actually an full on short film.

[celest plank]

i like how the devlog itself showed how hn3 works

the butterfly effect

it was so bare cool

crazy writing skills

[night vigil]

Beautiful atmosphere and Music too

[celest plank]

yeah the color grading especially was cool

it reminds me of nikita's artworks

[night vigil]

The Vandal was so funny

[celest plank]

his clothes also fit the general atmosphere

its cool how allis is thought out

[near hawk]

I loved how it took him so long to put the nail in the bike wheel lol

[night vigil]

True

[night vigil]

Nahhhh, he let Nikita finish talking, that's my headcanon

[celest plank]

i absolutely love the makeshift microphone thing

hope itll be in hn3 hopefully as maybe an easter egg

[night vigil]

I still have no clue what it's actually made of. Because it's a combination of so much... Stuff?

[celest plank]

i wanna hold it!! 😭

why i love hn3 so much is because its very replayable and when you make changes you can observe how it affects stuff

whereas most games want you to focus on winning

and then thats it

[night vigil]

It seems like a game that could be a lot of fun on console. Pretty hyped to play it on the Steam Deck

[celest plank]

i can see many people probably wont like the game

because theyre playing it wrong

its already the case with some of the youtubers

[night vigil]

8 bit Ryan didn't even know how to open doors in P2 until basically the end of the video. That was hilarious tho ngl

[celest plank]

bro ts was crazy 😭

man was breaking every door

[high brook]

Yea

I feel like when hn3 gets full game it should have VR support

[night vigil]

I was so ready to bash my head against a wall after the 50th door he broke with the 1 millionth Crowbar he wasted

[celest plank]

speaking of items

i dont think they should be like

pretty much available anywhere you go

cause with more variety of items and them being less common would kinda like

make you have to think of ways to do stuff

depending on what you currently have

am i blabbering right now

[night vigil]

Especially when every house basically has like 5 ways to get in, without breaking the doors or windows

[celest plank]

in hn2 the neighbor was investigated or something right

would that mean the police there is still around searching for him

[night vigil]

Nikita said he's still hiding at some point

[near hawk]

Not by HN3

I think so at least

[celest plank]

tho that could be the case involving any other character not just the police

[night vigil]

But I'm pretty sure that the police is not what he's hiding from tbh

[celest plank]

it wouldnt make sense for them to keep searching for him

after all those years

something mustve happened

cause bro is like right outside it cant be that hard to find him

[night vigil]

Well, something already struck the town, which was definitely a storm. I think basically everybody left, except a few people. And I'm pretty sure the reason why those people still live in Raven Brooks is going to be discovered in game. It's part of the mystery yk

[celest plank]

i wonder what could be the reason as to why the neighbor is our enemy because the protagonist probably never knew him

[celest plank]

iirc we cant befriend him like other characters

[near hawk]

You do remember correctly

[night vigil]

I'm pretty sure he's not to fond about newcomers

[celest plank]

might be his paranoia he got from keeping aaron with him

[near hawk]

This

[night vigil]

Trinity, Quentin, basically Nicky

Whatever happened to the Journalist before Quentin, him too

[celest plank]

my lights just went out

[near hawk]

Tbf those people break into his house

[night vigil]

True

[near hawk]

In HN3 he is just unfriendable

[night vigil]

Oh really

[civic totem]

Jacob has a soul again

[near hawk]

So probably even before we get to harm him or anything

[celest plank]

oh yeah well thats terrifying

i hope the neighbor will get some character development in hn3

because in every game i remember he just chases us

the ending of hn2 was something ig

[civic totem]

Neighbor will get character development in HN3 by dying in the ending

[night vigil]

He's old, cold and barely has a soul. Why would anybody be able to befriend this man

[civic totem]

Someone who's kind enough

[night vigil]

Are we tho?

[civic totem]

Yes

[celest plank]

man is just dissing the gramp

[civic totem]

Wait I just realized that HN3 Ted has boots and not shoes

[night vigil]

I'm not gonna be that's for sure

[celest plank]

its a nice tradeoff to him being gloveless

[night vigil]

Bars

[celest plank]

speaking of which

looking at him in this state knowing he was once just a father is juts so sad

[near meadow]

What I thought before almost a year ago he said you can

[night vigil]

I love his story, it genuinely reminds me of the Breaking Bad story somehow

[celest plank]

do we know what his original lore was

cause when hn alphas were a thing some hoped he was some ruthless crazed maniac

[night vigil]

HN1 and HN Hide and Seek are what I consider the most important part of his backstory. Idk about the books tho.

Oh, and of course seeing him go crazy over the cult in the Cartoon and HN2 is pretty important too ig

[celest plank]

i dont really like the cartoon

[night vigil]

Say whaaat?

[celest plank]

i dont remember what was in it anymore

but like

i think it contradicted some of hn's lore

[night vigil]

oh 100%

[celest plank]

i dont consider it canon as strupid as ts sounds probably

[night vigil]

I see it as Tinybuilds little favorite child, but I enjoyed it actually

[celest plank]

it is fun to watch but like

yeah

[night vigil]

I'm gonna stick to the games when it comes to Lore, but the cartoon makes things a little bit more "clear" if that makes sense

[near hawk]

By original lore do you mean pre full release story?

[celest plank]

i mean like what was intended for him before what the lore ended up being

if there is anything like that of course

[near hawk]

So like, full release just before the cult stuff and such?

[celest plank]

very very early version of the lore

[near hawk]

Do you mean Alpha-beta Lore?

Because If so:
Pre Alpha - Alpha 1 story: The Neighbor is the Devil, made a bet with God for who can get more souls and he puts us in a fake reality to get ours.
Alpha 2- beta 3: neighbor is our father who has suffered through bad parenting and is a bad parent to our character, having trapped him in a pantry

[celest plank]

oh ts is crazy

did they change it to what it is today to appeal to kids better

[near hawk]

Current story(or like, full game and Hide and seek) still covers trauma, grief, fears, loss so yeah.

[celest plank]

if this were to stick around i dont think the lore would extend like it actually did

[near hawk]

Oh definitely not.

[celest plank]

i defo prefer the current lore

it shaped hn better imo

[near hawk]

It probably wouldn't at all ngl

[near hawk]

Same, yeah.

Allows for more room for sequels, prequels, anything of the like, and HN3

[celest plank]

its going to be cool to see how the neighbor behaves in hn3

cause its been 35 years

[near hawk]

32*

[celest plank]

yeah that

[tawny tendon]

let's fight who is the biggest nerd /j

[near hawk]

What do you got on me

[tawny tendon]

my uhhh
weird rock collection

that's my secret weapon

[near hawk]

I got a scented candle collection so like

And a favourite number, do You have a fav number

[tawny tendon]

🥺 I also have a snowglobe collection, alongside an animal skull and dead bugs

okay we're going offtopic

[near hawk]

True.

[finite carbon]

New Jacob model looks amazing!!!

[raven pilot]

isnt it the same model with upgraded textures?

[raven pilot]

same model i mean the same from proto3

[unborn fox]

I think he looks more depressed in this version

[raven pilot]

he looks tired, he is a mechanic after all

[restive seal]

I love how tired he looks

[raven pilot]

he went from scared, angry and now tired

[raven pilot]

not angry but not the same as in proto1/2

[night vigil]

Almost all of them are just tired man...

[eager glade]

covered ain't nothin😭🙏

[raven pilot]

i think the vandals are going to be just crazy, everything but tired

[daring forge]

I love Jacob’s new model, he looks like the concept art

[night vigil]

They all look stunning btw. Really hyped to see them ingame

[eager glade]

We're so close..

[blissful river]

I feel like their faces are just normal T posing faces, while with actual animations they might have a brighter mood to them.

[night vigil]

Well yeah, and absolute bonkers

[celest plank]

do the vandals cooperate

[unkempt marlin]

we play as a female?

[haughty tangle]

idk

maybe

like it looks female in the image

i predict that in the pre alpha of hello neighbor 3 the new models will be in it

maybr

maybe

idk if im correct

[unkempt marlin]

definitely

[haughty tangle]

😄

someone agrees

😄

[unkempt marlin]

would be strange to reuse models from previous build

even if you have current improved ones

[haughty tangle]

we will have to wait and see

IN APRILL

yes i know its in aprill

since its like

6 months

each prototype

so like

it might comeout

Soon

😄

yay

thats just a theory

a game theory

[blissful river]

Yes

[celest plank]

mate i hope the historian will like

tell stories to us

[haughty tangle]

maybe

who knows

[haughty tangle]

we will just have to wait untill aprill

😄

[celest plank]

although thats unlikely cause in hn games you generally never talk to the characters

[haughty tangle]

yes

😄

but some games have npc talking

😄

[toxic cipher]

Why do people in HN3 have unusual skin tones?

[haughty tangle]

also who actually thinks ima cool guy

also

just a question

[toxic cipher]

Did something happen in the world?

[haughty tangle]

probably a flood

maybe

they almost drowned

like it made the store man green made jacob blue made iris purpleish blue

who knows

[limpid cosmos]

is it possible that nicky roth might make an appearance?

[haughty tangle]

hmm good question

maybe possibly who knows

just wait

till

aprill

just a theory

maybe im wrong

😄

[limpid cosmos]

april?

[haughty tangle]

yes

[limpid cosmos]

what will happen in april?

[haughty tangle]

game

maybe

[limpid cosmos]

pre alpha you mean?

[haughty tangle]

but thats just a theory a game theory

yes

[limpid cosmos]

i hope so

btw

[haughty tangle]

😄

yes

true

hope it comes out aprill

[limpid cosmos]

hello neighbor 3 ending needs to be a dark triad ending

[haughty tangle]

yes

3 endings

it took me 3 months to get all endings

yes

its true

[limpid cosmos]

like a dexter style ending

[haughty tangle]

3 months

ok

[limpid cosmos]

anyways

all i know is that hello neighbor 3 is gonna be peak

[haughty tangle]

yes

PEAK

[limpid cosmos]

https://klipy.com/gifs/absolute-peak-absolute-cinema

[haughty tangle]

oops

since the man grandeturisto is back

😄

yes

[limpid cosmos]

what happened with the HN2 characters?

like the mayor, gerda, taxidermist, and EVEN quentin

[haughty tangle]

yes

[limpid cosmos]

yea. what happened with them?

[haughty tangle]

Idk

yo guys

im working on a game

btw

unreal engine 5

😄

im serious i am working on a project

also

isnt that cool

[limpid cosmos]

https://klipy.com/gifs/kid-cool

[haughty tangle]

😄

im gonna be working for it at least 5 years

i just started

😄

but i got the animations done for the player

but

a thing is

i cant get more models

🙁

:d

😄

https://gamejolt.com/games/Ravenbrooksonlineremaster/1047844

😄

im working hard

😄

[blissful river]

Why not?

[haughty tangle]

i used

sketchfab

[blissful river]

Just get them from the files.

[haughty tangle]

and i cant use it

how

[blissful river]

Fmodel

[haughty tangle]

oh yeah

but

i dont have the game anymore

prototype 3

since i had to uninstall it

[blissful river]

You could find it on the internet probably.

[haughty tangle]

?

i cant

btw im just a cool guy

😄

😄

oh

sorry

it will be so popular

😄

im proud of myself

and a thing is im working all by myself

[night vigil]

Btw, seriously how did I miss this. That is huge.

[violet vessel]

wth is wrong with that guy and thinking this is was me in the future is he trying to dox me or what

I also block him

[haughty tangle]

?

[night vigil]

I'm pretty sure they're just messing with you.

[haughty tangle]

ye's

[fair oriole]

The "I am you from the future" is a reference to the tinyBuild guy. It's an older game "No time to explain" from tinyBuild.

[night vigil]

I take it back, they are actually a genius

[molten basin]

what new here guys

[violet vessel]

I deleted the fan art massage so umm

Also don't make me scared of me because I 13 years old and I don't wanna whatever someone just figure me out or doxxed me I just created this account in 2 months ago

[celest plank]

bro john’s pfp has always been frying me😭😭😭😭

[trim reef]

nothing has ever made me appreciate punctuation more

[violet vessel]

I just drawing my favorite developers but idk who is that guy😭

[late scroll]

@broken galleon hello dailyhn3news on twitter

[bronze phoenix]

its not really supirising but its realllllly good to know

[random shell]

8 years later lol

[true oar]

who thinks that the neighbor in the third game is chopped

[untold grotto]

because hes meant to be ugly

[true oar]

Lol

[cobalt sable]

Who do you think will be removed next?

[celest plank]

hes not even necessarily ugly

just uncanny

[haughty tangle]

yo

sup

guys

😄

[spiral spear]

N-time?

[wicked moth]

Nikita, could you tell us what the first story objective for the pre-alpha is going to be? Or show us a screenshot with the objective ui?

Also, what do you think of this idea?

[untold grotto]

i would rather story decide stuff than random fan services

[thick ferry]

How’s the performance of the pre alpha?

I Hope it’s good

[primal wedge]

Iris and issac names starts on "I" and they removed from gaem, devs just removins everything that starts on "I"

[tawny tendon]

Imbir?

[gleaming acorn]

have you ever seen a hot 85 year old man

[gleaming acorn]

can't do my boy john like that 😔

[true oar]

Yes

[vestal oyster]

just wanna apologize to anyone who got a crypto scam message from "me". I was hacked earlier today and they dmed a bunch of people 😭

[earnest cape]

It’s a lot more clear that he’s wearing a jacket with the creases.

[sand flare]

thats crazy

cause i know one too

||/jk||

[haughty tangle]

?

[pale thicket]

hiii

[limpid cosmos]

wait guys

nicky and quentin are not the same age

because nicky is the same age as aaron and aaron was still a kid in hello neighbor 2

and quentin was an adult

[near hawk]

Yup

Correct

[limpid cosmos]

in act 3 hes probably and old man😭

[broken galleon]

Son

[near hawk]

He's like, 34 i think

45 by HN3

[limpid cosmos]

WHOS 34?

[empty shuttle]

well it is supposed to be 20-30 years down the road, maybe they'll add a tiny cat grave somewhere on the map for players to stumble on...

[opaque summit]

or maybe imbirs still alive somehow

[tawny tendon]

I assumed overall games ngl

not just HN3 😭

[empty shuttle]

that's true, I do kinda suspect she's supernatural somehow...

[empty shuttle]

Oh, sorry if that was too morbid...

[tawny tendon]

Nah idrc

[celest plank]

wait guys

aaron and the neighbor are not the same age

[meager walrus]

thanks for pointing that out

[celest plank]

bro this guy’s pfp

[unborn fox]

We know, Aaron is older than the neighbor

[celest plank]

i hope we’ll get lore on aaron in hn3

[thick ferry]

I hope so

[celest plank]

regardless of if he returns or not

[thick ferry]

I wonder if he’s doing alright

[celest plank]

i actually wouldn’t like him returning

[thick ferry]

I think hes old like Nicky

[hoary heath]

Hello broe

[celest plank]

mbut just know what happened to him

cause hn2 didnt elaborate on it

[hoary heath]

You profil Beatrix bro i hope she comeback hn3

[untold grotto]

cough cough

[thick ferry]

Hope so

[celest plank]

beatricks wont come back

[thick ferry]

It would be cool to see her as an Easter egg

Like patch 9

In hn2

[celest plank]

i dont even think shes canon

[thick ferry]

She’s in hn2 patch 9

[untold grotto]

how dare you to say that
remember everything is canon!!!!!!

[celest plank]

yeah i dont know anything abt hn2

okay!! 😭😭😭

[unborn fox]

Why wouldn't she be?

[untold grotto]

unlikely though

[celest plank]

idk what purpose she’d serve

and hn3 will introduce new characters instead of like

[hoary heath]

Bro i think there will new character story

[celest plank]

adding old ones back

[hoary heath]

Bro make theory iris like you make janusz theory @untold grotto

[unborn fox]

#hn3-discussion message

[celest plank]

she did her job already

[untold grotto]

?

[celest plank]

oooh rhar was tough

[hoary heath]

Bro why he delete my mesage ?@celest plank

[celest plank]

i did not 😭😭😭

[hoary heath]

I know bro why bot delete my mesage

[celest plank]

it was @royal trout

oh ye idk

dont ask me ask him

[hoary heath]

I just linked this

[untold grotto]

iris is now scrapped though

[celest plank]

is she

i thought shes temporarily cut off

[untold grotto]

its the case for isaac

for iris theyre not sure with if she will comeback or not

[celest plank]

i hope befriending characters will have more benefits to it

[haughty tangle]

yo

[crystal hare]

hii!!

[haughty tangle]

hio

😄

[thick tendon]

What if Franklin didn’t die after the events at the Mayak? We were never directly told that he died. Maybe he survived, went insane, and started wandering through the forest wearing the Guest costume. Don’t forget that the Guest is the mascot of the park. Maybe after Lucy’s death, Franklin started living in the park and wearing the Guest costume. And the cultists thought he was their god and started worshipping him, while Franklin is just laughing at them.

[crystal hare]

I actually like this theory

looks like truth

[celest plank]

wasnt franklin a character brought in by the cartoon series

i dont think nikita would put him in the game

[near hawk]

Same

[celest plank]

i think he once said the neighbor doesnt have a brother and

the cartoon contradicts that

i dont think nikita would want to like yk

intertwine the cartoon too much

into the main lore

[thick tendon]

He said there's no multiverse thing

And that's obviously that Franklin is the Guest

[celest plank]

yeah but thats not what im saying

franklin isnt the type of character to be in hn3

[near hawk]

Okay but that doesn't mean it all fits 1:1

If whatever explanation it is that makes everything canon in one universe allows for stuff to be so different in between mediums why can't it do the same for the guest

And besides Nikita doesn't even know who HN2/AS Guest is

[near hawk]

He could have, i remember seeing smth like that

He said this actually i think

[celest plank]

isnt the hn2 guest like

just the normal guest

[thick tendon]

Yeah

[celest plank]

and i dont remember the game revealing anything about him

so since its cancelled they could make the hn2 guest be whatever they want

[near hawk]

Wdym the normal guest

[celest plank]

the hn2 alphas guest

[near hawk]

AS Guest is prolly same as HN2 Guest and The cartoon does explain the Guest there.

[near hawk]

Not afaik.

[untold grotto]

franklin is the guest in AS

theres not just one guest

[thick tendon]

What's the AS?

[untold grotto]

theres a one in AS, HN2, HN3, Novels, HNVR

[thick tendon]

Can you explain

[near hawk]

Animated Series

[untold grotto]

animated series

[thick tendon]

Thanks

[celest plank]

i personally feel like the animated series is claiming too much about the whole guest lore thing

[thick tendon]

There's the same Guest HN2 and HNVR

[untold grotto]

❌

[thick tendon]

Why

[celest plank]

doesnt it shrink the room for what the hn3 guest could be

[near hawk]

It doesn't

AS has its own Guest

So does HN3

[untold grotto]

AS guests origin is happening during S3, which would be after hnvr

[celest plank]

but as tends to put out lore about guests in general doesnt it

[untold grotto]

and keep in mind that hnvr was based on hn2 alphas storyline

[near hawk]

I don't see how.

[thick tendon]

But

The Guest is diana Peterson

[near hawk]

Just because it reveals the identity of a Guest doesn't mean all Guests have to abide by the same identity

[hoary heath]

NO bro

[thick tendon]

Yes

[hoary heath]

Stop ragebait please

[near hawk]

i have never seen ragebait more outrageous and more outbaiteous than that

How dare you spell "Diane" as diana?!

Not even with a capital "d" tsk tsk tsk

Immediate unsub

[tawny tendon]

🤔

[gleaming acorn]

Yeah, the guest is Diane

i've got no idea who Diana is

[crystal hare]

This is the Theodore's wife

and she has died to due a car accident

[near hawk]

diana is not Theodore's wife

She sounds like some snobby loser

[tawny tendon]

Diane's evil twin

[gleaming acorn]

famale's severed head is the guest

[crystal hare]

She is the guest right

[celest plank]

imagine if the truck turned at the right time

[crystal hare]

We're playing as a female character (seems like), why would the antagonist be a female too?

[gleaming acorn]

praise be the famale

[gleaming acorn]

do you mean like

antagonist

[crystal hare]

yeah

sry

i wanna sleep

antagonist ofc

[royal lake]

[ocean spade]

Hi

[celest plank]

is the current hello neighbor 3 sountrack a temporary one

will they replace it

[raven pilot]

i think there is a chance some of the songs get replaced

but rn i cant see why they would do it

[celest plank]

"i wonder how hello neighbor would look like if i never saw those cartoons"

just realized thats what hn3 is about

[wild girder]

I have an idea for how they could potentially bring back RBO without the multiplayer aspect. It could be done as some sort of bonus "arcade mode" where you invade the RBO house to try and steal as much valuables as you can, as quickly as possible while trying to get caught as little as possible. I think it would be really cool!

[wild girder]

Basically what can be seen in these videos, just with updated visuals and without the multiplayer.

[untold grotto]

well

whats the point

[wild girder]

I honestly just really love the house in RBO. I hope there's something kinda like it in HN3 in the future. Just some sort of biggish house like the grey manor or something.

I'm just rambling at this point.

[barren saddle]

I genuinely want RBO back. Dont know if this is a hot take, but making it not multiplayer and then replacing it to be HN3 was such a bad move/idea, no offense.

[arctic jolt]

Is hello neighbor 3 going to he the last hello neighbor game or will there be hello neighbor 4, if it’s even confirmed or not

[wild girder]

I don't think it was a bad idea. The team had no experience with making an online multiplayer game, so it would've taken way too long for them to do.

[arctic jolt]

What’s RBO again?

[wild girder]

However I definitely think it can work as a short and sweet single player "arcade mode"

[arctic jolt]

There’s some shorten game names that I don’t know yet

[barren saddle]

Fair enough. But we always start somewhere. I think it would’ve been nice if they tried something new and tested the tides a little with the multiplayer despite not having the experience.

[wild girder]

The original multiplayer idea for HN3

[arctic jolt]

Oh

[wild girder]

For me personally, the main part that interested me wasn't the multiplayer but the art style and the house. It was like a new version of the grey manor.

[loud canyon]

RBO is what eventually became Hello neighbor 3, it was a multiplayer HN game where one player was the home owner and the others were home invaders and each player had a role to play

Home owner would use traps and route memory to catch the invaders to stop them from stealing your items

Invaders would need to break in and still items and sell them to win

The game was shortly turned into HN3 once the devs realized making a non toxic multiplayer game would be too difficult for them, so Nikita decided he would instead make a 3rd HN game that aims to be "another attempt" with the goal of giving the HN community a game that is of good quality and fun to play, doing the series justice with the hopes of an exceptionally good game, and so far it looks very promising

also the name RBO was short for Raven Brooks Online

[arctic jolt]

So kind of like secret neighbor?

[loud canyon]

it was similar but not the same

[high brook]

the idea was like SN but it was more of an online rp game than anything

[arctic jolt]

Not saying it’s exactly like secret neighbor

[loud canyon]

gameplay was noticeably different

but similar

[high brook]

i know it used to be vs but they changed it to co-op right before hn3

[arctic jolt]

Hello neighbor multiplayer sounds fun though

There’s a hello neighbor multiplayer mod

[loud canyon]

yes right before turning it to another single player game it wouldve been a all players as invaders against the AI, which was the vandals at the time

[arctic jolt]

I want to get this mod but I don’t think anyone that I know has hello neighbor

[arctic jolt]

Could it have also been the neighbor vs ai players?

The ai players would probably be dumb as hell and easy to catch

[loud canyon]

i doubt that was going to be the case, it seemed to be going in the style of players vs AI

[high brook]

i wish we had that build of rbo that was shown a lot

i think nikita said it could release (im not positive though)

my memory might just be wrong

[arctic jolt]

Someone should make a multiplayer mod where you can also play as the neighbor in the full release. And even play as the neighbor in mods that change the way the neighbor works, like playing as the alpha neighbor and playing as fredbear

That would be cool

How come hn1 prototype and hn2 prototype were never released

[high brook]

im pretty sure the hn2 prototype was released

if your talking about HGP

[arctic jolt]

I think the hello guest prototype was released but not by tinybuild

Yes it was. It was in a password protected archive

[arctic jolt]

Idk why the hello neighbor prototype wasn’t released but the trailer looked really scripted

If you were to actually play the game if it was released then you would be able replicate the announcement trailer until the neighbor passes by the player after he turns the light off to hide

[arctic jolt]

Did GreenHouseM13 make console commands for hello neighbor 2?

[eager glade]

i needmynews

[deft summit]

the HN1 prototype was not ready for publication

the AI from what I know wasn't ready at all

so they made a fully scripted teaser trailer

however the HN2 Prototype did release

it was just temporary and now you can no longer officially get it

[arctic jolt]

oh

[deft summit]

yeah it was more specifically a Secret Neighbor event

where everyone had to team up to figure out the link to download the file

and then team up again to get the password

[unborn fable]

Helli

[untold grotto]

older concept of hn3 and hn3's codename

[untold grotto]

rbo was always hn3 though

[near hawk]

I think she means the gameplay.

Like what we know as RBO, despite still being HN3 is played differently

[loud canyon]

im female, but yea

im also referring to the name change

[near hawk]

Oh

[loud canyon]

it was called RBO at first before turning into HN3 even if that name change was planned it still became HN3

[hoary heath]

How to

[celest plank]

i like how jacob is all covered in warm clothing

and then theres janusz

[hoary heath]

Bro because it him work clothes @achi_top

[celest plank]

yeah

exactly

[haughty tangle]

yo guys

😄

[hoary heath]

Hello Man @coolneighbor

[celest plank]

guys imo the hn2 alphas was the peak of mechanics in hn games

like all those wires and fuel and rope stuff

i hope there's gonna be such stuff in hello neighbor 3

this game seems to be a perfect opportunity to put all that back in

[meager walrus]

ehh they were mid

[celest plank]

i liked them

[meager walrus]

both had quirks that made it annoying to play

[celest plank]

even if they were sort of bad they could like

make it better

for hn3

[meager walrus]

i would say pre alpha is better then hn2s alpha 1 and 1.5

[loud canyon]

If you watched the devlogs you'd see there is a lot of promising mechanics that might get added to HN3

They're genuinely interesting imo and I recommend watching them

[celest plank]

i dont remember that

i gotta rewatch the devlogs

[loud canyon]

In one of the more recent ones, Nikita showcases some "tech demos" he made that have core mechanics that are likely to come to HN3

Time travel, decision making mechanics, and a bunch of others

Worth a gander

[celest plank]

oh that

well i was talking about how you could use different items together to like

do something

would be cool

[wicked moth]

I wonder if pre-alpha is this month

[severe merlin]

I was talking about how time travel game behaved in its essence - is what HN3 is about. Multiple characters trying to reach their goals reacting to circumstances within a limited time frame.
The main difference is time travel game was that when you travel to the past you can see yourself which is now AI that also trying to reach tour goals. And mechanics of travel in to the future to see an outcome immediately.

[thick tendon]

What do you mean?

[celest plank]

i dont think so

[wicked moth]

Nikita, what do you think of this idea?

[untold grotto]

i think its pretty clear...

[loud canyon]

Thanks for the clarification, It was an impressive mechanic display, and I look forward to how the AI will function in HN3 itself

[nocturne chasm]

I do Auschwitz

[loud canyon]

Obviously I never assumed the time travel itself would be a mechanic but the fundamental "time frame" aspect might be familiar to the demo, in the sense you can reload save files and do things differently than last time

[hoary heath]

Was there a moment during development where players solved something in HN3 in a way you didn’t expect?

[severe merlin]

Not yet. Previous versions were pretty simple and P3 really hard so once people found one tactic, everyone just repeated after each other.
Hopefully it will be very different with pre-Alpha 🙂

[hoary heath]

When players explore HN3 what’s the first feeling you hope they experience?

[celest plank]

i was gonna try to figure p3 out myself but my potato pc didnt let me

[thick tendon]

What do you mean

[hoary heath]

Stop ragebait

[wicked moth]

If Iris and Isaac are scrapped, then is their house going to be gone or repurposed?

[celest plank]

theyre not scrapped mate

at least not isaac

[untold grotto]

so is there another intended way in prototype 3 people havent discovered yet

[stuck summit]

ive joined this server for one question, how was raven brooks a suburban town, then raven brooks suddenly moved onto a mountain now in hello neighbor 3 (no offense, im just curious)

[wicked moth]

No I meant just in pre alpha

[celest plank]

im pretty sure the original raven brooks from hn1 was hilly

nikita didnt work on hn2

[untold grotto]

its an design choice

[near hawk]

Hope we can get Nikita the "not in a way you think" treatment next time.

[near hawk]

No Lore reason, just gameplay design.

[celest plank]

it would be really cool if hn3 had the climbing mechanic from hn2

imo it would fit

[low gate]

I'm sure you said before that HN3 is not connected to the books but its very coincidental that there's a whole book with the same premise of one day continuously looping while starring an 80 something year old neighbour and guest

[celest plank]

what's it called

[hoary heath]

Reset day

[celest plank]

thanks

[near hawk]

Difference is game doesn't have a time loop in the story, book does

[low gate]

we dont really know games story so i dont know what your referencing here

[untold grotto]

#hn3-discussion message

probably this

[low gate]

Ahh

either way its pretty coincidental
