hn3-discussion

[loud canyon]

yea thats true

[untold grotto]

the reason the lake has dried up is because the statue is no longer there

[dark bison]

So, what would everyone else be then?

[loud canyon]

Well vandals are anti christ cultists

the citizens are probably normal people not sure

[untold grotto]

theyre not an cult for nikita though

[loud canyon]

what i mean is they do things to please forest dweller assuming hes guest

thus making them anti christ cultists

worshipping the deciever

[untold grotto]

well coned is kinda like you know

he is the leader and

he kinda tries to look like the god i think

[loud canyon]

he based his look after his false idol

interesting

[dark bison]

Coned would be a false prophet, opposing the historian, a real prophet. But I'm more interested in Jacob, Janusz, and the player.

[loud canyon]

im very interested to see how this plays out in the games development bc i love the idea of faust symbolism

[untold grotto]

i had some theory about janusz, idk if that would be helpful because im not very familiar with religions

[dark bison]

Let's hear it.

[untold grotto]

#hn3-discussion message

mostly comes from the specific name "Janusz" and the hints in the game

[blissful zinc]

i doubt hn3 is gonna go back to faust symbolism but like

if it does i'm curious to see how it plays out

[loud canyon]

i mean, so far it seems so

but a bit more metaphorical

not literal

with Neighbor being a tie in for the devil, guest as god, and forest dweller as anti christ, historian is a prophet, etc

[blissful zinc]

honestly my favorite faust adaptation is phantom of the paradise

and it is a LOOSE adaptation

its basically phantom of the opera, faust and picture of dorian gray stitched into one

[loud canyon]

i feel HN3 will be a loose adaptation as no, Mr peterson is not literally the devil but the similarities are there

like this

[blissful zinc]

i really hope ted isnt taking on like

a huge antagonist role in hn3

[chilly sundial]

I think he's going to release Hello Neighbor 3 Pre-Alpha on April 9th. I think they're right about that theory.

[blissful zinc]

he's old and he has nothing to hide anymore he really should be a 'you leave me alone i leave YOU alone' person

granted he was that in the first but

he was tweaking during the 90s

[loud canyon]

i think there will be a bunch of "morally grey big guys" guest, neighbor, forest dweller

[blissful zinc]

the guest and dweller being two people is really interesting

because it raises the question of who both of them are

[loud canyon]

neighbors motive is to stop the guest from being praised, from what i gather

[eager glade]

i dont think anyone is a big antagonist

[untold grotto]

the guest is probably not "real"

[blissful zinc]

before a lot of people were going 'ok aaron is guest/dweller case closed' but now that there's two of them

[untold grotto]

and the forest dweller is aaron imo

[blissful zinc]

it raises a lot of questions

[loud canyon]

Guest is a god to the towns people, and forest dweller is a "anti christ" using the appearance to form a cult that does child sacrifice

[blissful zinc]

no i get that he's a god

[loud canyon]

based off that one amusement park ending

[blissful zinc]

i just never interpreted it as like

he was a physical entity before someone started dressing as him

and then the town just went 'ok hes here now'

[loud canyon]

im making this theory based off the evidence this games narrative is a remaster of Faust Neighbor

[untold grotto]

the citizens doesnt like FD btw

they see him as an enemy

vandals see him as friend

[blissful zinc]

actually a great take i saw a while back

i like how much room for interpretation there is

[untold grotto]

i think the company used guest to connect with the town more easily

[loud canyon]

citizens worship the concept of the guest, which fixes weather, vandals worship a anti christ rip off that is literally eating children

[blissful zinc]

i dont think hes eating kids

[untold grotto]

killing

[blissful zinc]

oh totally

[untold grotto]

and also

[loud canyon]

in one of the endings he takes off the mask to do so

[blissful zinc]

hes either killing or trapping them somewhere

[untold grotto]

its not the first

[untold grotto]

killing, as nikita confirmed

[blissful zinc]

did nikita state this?

i must've missed a message

[untold grotto]

he was killer in p3 storyline and he is in new storyline too

[loud canyon]

cannibalism counts as killing

[untold grotto]

yep gimme a sec

[blissful zinc]

yeah but like

wheres the direct evidence hes a cannibal

taking off the mask isnt concrete

[loud canyon]

he takes off the mask which is implied

why else would he remove the mask

[blissful zinc]

taking it off to see better, perhaps?

[untold grotto]

#hn3-discussion message
#hn3-discussion message

[blissful zinc]

maybe he wants to let the kid see who he is BEFORE he kills them

some killers do that

because its not like the kid'll snitch

[loud canyon]

that makes less sense than eating isaac

[untold grotto]

he is in an "observation" position, instead of an attack position in the ending

[loud canyon]

he literally aura farms in shadows vision is not a priority to him

[blissful zinc]

the fact i believe the dweller is aaron makes this so much funnier

aaron peterson:

[untold grotto]

did he eat isaac sr too

or he just killed him because he is not an child (presumably)

[loud canyon]

My theory is that The guest is a god to the people of Raven Brooks.
The Neighbor is the devil to them due to his sickly look and opposition to the Guest on a personal level
And the forest dweller is the anti christ due to using the appearance of the guest to form a cult that does shady activities

[dry gate]

Hi

[blissful zinc]

honestly i do HOPE the forest dweller is aaron solely because i think

[untold grotto]

and coned is an "prophet" for forest dweller, and historian is his opposite, the "prophet" of the guest

[blissful zinc]

it ties the narrative together nicely

[untold grotto]

exactly

[blissful zinc]

i think its cooler to have a supporting character come back as a villain

to show the basement like

REALLY screwed him up

[untold grotto]

i think it is direction nikita is going

hope they dont waste this potential with just random dude wearing costume

[blissful zinc]

i really hope if it is aaron they don't like

U-turn and go 'theyve figured it out change it'

[loud canyon]

i can assure you, Nikita is the last guy to blow a character as unimaginably cool as the guest

[blissful zinc]

i'm aware

the guest was blown in hn2 but that wasn't his fault for the thing we got

[loud canyon]

you confuse Eerie guest studios with Steel Wool (they did that with Security Breach)

[untold grotto]

will we see the real guest as an npc though,

since there is another guest folder in files

[blissful zinc]

i am well aware steelwool did this

and i know egs wouldnt usually do this

[untold grotto]

or it is not real

[blissful zinc]

but since the game is in like

such an early point

[loud canyon]

and they are very open about changes, Nikita said such in 2nd devlog

[blissful zinc]

i am aware

i just mean that i hope nothing is rewritten due to guessing correctly

which i doubt it will be

honestly im like

considering hn3 a partial reboot

yes i know about 'everything is le canon'

but i think of it rn as its gonna acknowledge bits and pieces established in previous entries while kind of writing its own timeline to fit better

this is mainly because trying to connect hn2 to hn3 is practically impossible since hn2 is unfinished

[loud canyon]

HN3 is a sequel to HN1 not 2

[blissful zinc]

yes

i know

[loud canyon]

HN2 is what we comic fans call a "else world" story and not part of Nikita's continuity

[blissful zinc]

hence why i said trying to connect hn2 is impossible

this is basically just how hn2 fits to me

[blissful zinc]

this is 99% of the franchise in all fairness

hell even trying to connect the aaron and nicky trilogies is impossible

[untold grotto]

everything is else world in hn

[blissful zinc]

unless you do some GENEROUS ignoring with the plot

[blissful zinc]

guestworlds, even

something something yellow pages

[blissful zinc]

when im playing hn3 and then piper pulls up and tells me enzos missing right before the game ends and restarts

[versed ravine]

Some cultists took him to this... station... that controls the weather...

[bronze phoenix]

hello everyone

[trim pine]

Funny thing: I was once about to finish HN3P3 but a vandal broke the statue and ran off with the last piece, right Infront of everyone's eyes.

[bronze phoenix]

yo any updates

[trim pine]

I don't think so. The last thing we got was a sneak peak of a remote controlled kart in Pre-Alpha.

[bronze phoenix]

oh\

really

can u send it

[bronze phoenix]

ok

can someone send it

the Player concept art

[eager glade]

#teasers

[bronze phoenix]

thx

[eager glade]

any new steamDB updates

[near hawk]

I feel like they'd know given that it's a town with not many people, so whoever brought back the tradition(Historian i think) could have told just one and it would spread quickly.

That's why metaphors are the best!

[near hawk]

Historian got the runes, Coned has a beak looking thing, tying both of them to their specific deities.

[untold grotto]

its probably not the historian, If she could, she would have revived the tradition much earlier

but she certainly played a big role in the return of tradition

[near hawk]

Yeah multiple people probably revived it

[chrome solstice]

Banger profile Pic btw

[near hawk]

Thanks

[haughty tangle]

he isnt

[near hawk]

Proof:

[haughty tangle]

hes a demon

look at the wiki

plus

in hello neighbor vr

he shape shifts

[near hawk]

I can't though

[haughty tangle]

well in the vr he shape shifts into a crow/raven

[near hawk]

Well

Vr isn't the same as HN3 and even then most of VR is in Dark dream/guest world

Also like

[haughty tangle]

so

its a bit of the game

so yeah

belive what you want

WAIT

since i said that

[near hawk]

Look what Nikita said

[haughty tangle]

????

so

i belive what i belive

[near hawk]

Fair

But like

[haughty tangle]

wait

[near hawk]

You can't go up to people and say "you're wrong cuz he's a demon" like that

[haughty tangle]

well

i can do what i can do

not like

bad things

just

yeah

saying my opinions

[near hawk]

Fair i guess

[untold grotto]

opinions thats denied by the dev itself, though

[haughty tangle]

so

its my opinion

anyway

so i can say my opinon

you can say your opinion

[near hawk]

Ehh.
I don't think it matters If people headcannon objectively wrong stuff so long as they don't go in debates about it or use them as evidence points

[untold grotto]

definitely not going debates

[near hawk]

Oh yeah

I'm blind

[blissful zinc]

No, he is not

You are mixing up the guest and forest dweller.

And even then the guest is probably not a supernatural creature since Nikita said he's never been supernatural

HNVR was made without him

[lunar trail]

HNVR is still canon though so

[near hawk]

That doesn't exactly prevent VR and 3 from having different guests

[arctic jolt]

Someone should make hello neighbor pre alpha to alpha 4 in vr

And the prototype

[lunar trail]

i'm not disagreeing with that

i do think HN3 Guest is a different person than the other Guest we saw in all different media

I'm just saying HNVR being made without Nikita doesnt disregard stuff HNVR shows about the non-HN3 Guest

[charred owl]

anyways guys, what's your opinion on HN3 rn

[near hawk]

I see

[lunar trail]

also a clear distinction i have realized now is that HN3 Guest is neither representing a crow or a bird

while it's clear that HNVR shows that non-HN3 Guest represents a crow in some way or other

[near hawk]

Pretty much every media does

Other than HN3

[lunar trail]

truest

[near hawk]

With the croaking and such

[untold grotto]

hn3 guest is not looking like an "crow" in any way too

[lunar trail]

only thing is his "beak" other than that HN3 has stripped his all crow related stuff

[weak night]

honestly, it might just be artstyle... its said to be a non-human entity (according the the wiki) which means it doesn't have to be bound by the crow disguise.

[near hawk]

Uh oh

[untold grotto]

wiki is not a good source

[weak night]

touche

[near hawk]

Wiki usage

[lunar trail]

It's not just art style, Nikita himself confirmed that HN3 Guest is not meant to represent a bird anymore

[untold grotto]

while guests new desig inspired by the unhomely style, the design has also been carefully considered to be narratively accurate

[near hawk]

Right here, he responded with that to a message about Guest being a bird

[weak night]

well I'll be damned

alright

[lunar trail]

i dont really like this change but its whatever

personal preferance i guess

[arctic jolt]

Wait then what is he?

[quartz canopy]

Me

[arctic jolt]

Is he actually a human or something?

[untold grotto]

a god

or "god"

[arctic jolt]

Well god doesn’t do the things the guest does so probably not

Actually the guest is me

[untold grotto]

the other media stuff is not relevant to hn3

[arctic jolt]

I’ve been the guest this whole time

[untold grotto]

in hn3, its pretty much a god whos protecting town, ensuring the town lives in peace and prosperity

[arctic jolt]

The midwest is a strange place

[low gate]

this is getting a bit confusing now

[wicked moth]

I wonder when the HN3 steam images are going to be changed. (The current ones are really old.)

[stone elk]

Nikita said they will be updating it

for pre alpha

some of the new screenshots have been showed

[wicked moth]

Yeah, but I wonder when the Pre alpha is coming out? What does "Pretty soon-ish" mean??

[stone elk]

Its going to be next week🤫

[wild girder]

I'm pretty sure The Guest in HN3 is just some phyco killer. Wearing a costume to resemble this "Guest" urban legend that is part of Raven Brook's culture.

[near hawk]

The forest dweller is a human and he is supposed to represent the symbol of the town.

(which is probably some kind of deity that doesn't really fall into anything)

[unborn fox]

It's a raven then duh (I used my last 67 braincells)

[untold grotto]

"guest" is forest dweller
guest is god urban legend

[gleaming acorn]

no, it's a totally sane killer

duh

[wild girder]

I don't think There is any sort of Guest "god" I think The Guest thing the people are celebrating is more like a Santa Claus type figure where he's a fictional character made to represent or symbolise an idea like hope, piece, etc. and the townsfolk just like celebrating it because it brings everyone together for a joyful occasion and The Guest we see roaming in the town is just some phyco dressing up like it for whatever reason.

[gleaming acorn]

should we tell em

[untold grotto]

wait wrong image

[untold grotto]

its statue stopping the storm basically gives message of its something protects the town

[wild girder]

Speaking of that. I definitely believe the vandals have a completely different idea of what the Guest is.

[untold grotto]

vandals do think the forest dweller (who has some kind of "Antichrist" role in the storyline) is the real guest

[wild girder]

What thet idea is however, I have no clue.

[wild girder]

Has this "antichrist" role thing been confirmed?

[untold grotto]

no, but it do make sense if you put the pieces together

[untold grotto]

antichrist is a figure who deceives people by acting like god and leads them onto a bad path

forest dweller is a figure who deceives vandals by acting like guest and leads them onto a bad path

this also ties with someone theorizing the neighbor as an "devil" metaphor (#hn3-discussion message)

[wild girder]

That whole thing kinda links into the idea I have that some of the stuff we see and are yet to see in HN3 is meant to be more symbolic rather than literal because the games have a history of things being symbolic such as The Thing and act 3 in HN1 was just symbolism of getting over your past trauma or HN2 Alpha 1 was meant to symbolise Quentin image of the stories he read about Raven Brooks. So it's safe to say that HN3 will continue the tradition of some things not having a literal meaning.

[untold grotto]

it definitely will

whole statue stopping the storm thing is an metaphor

[near hawk]

Also Nikita said that he has a grounded approach to storytelling, so your idea is for sure correct

[untold grotto]

the guest being an "god", or fd being an "antichrist" is indeed metaphor too

[near hawk]

(as per this)

[near hawk]

(forward is for the message i'm replying)

[wild girder]

I definitely don't think it's going to be as much as entire sequences of the game being inside the protagonist's head or something kinda like HN1. I just think it's going to be in smaller amounts for instance. When the storm clearing after the statue is built could symbolise joy and happiness being returned to the townsfolk and the storm returning after the statue being knocked down could symbolise that happiness being ripped away or killed or anything like that.

[celest plank]

have i missed something

[wild girder]

Just some casual lore discussion.

[near hawk]

I agree

"Dream" scenes like in HN1 don't really fit for Hello neighbor 3 in my opinion.

[grim lark]

Yeah agreed

This isnt a story about going through fears and such

[near hawk]

So i think the way it'll be is more like, reality and symbolism are overlayed on top of each other, with mostly reality taking over, If that makes sense

[grim lark]

Its fully exploration

[near hawk]

As opposed to switching between the real and the symbolical

[grim lark]

Im excited

[wild girder]

Speaking of all this symbolic talk. I've seen people say about The Guest in Search and Rescue being a demon. But to that I say. No it isn't, there are several weird dream-like sequences in that game so it's safe to assume that once again, those don't have literal meanings, only symbolic ones.

[tall sorrel]

Here's something we know will be symbolic in HN3!:
HN3 will have a loop
BUT it's not a literal time loop (despite those existing in HN as per Reset Day)
based off Prototype 3, the loop will instead be representative of different stories about Raven Brooks

[grim lark]

So its just Bad Fortune?

Death?

[tall sorrel]

Guest is a mindset Aaron, Theodore, and HN2!Guest adopt theory moment

[grim lark]

The guest in hn3 sure as hell doesnt look like a god

[near hawk]

Aaron, Theodore and Franklin*

That's some real family bonding moments

[grim lark]

Faust theory

[tall sorrel]

(if you wanna know what I'm referencing: #lore-discussion message)

[near hawk]

Which Guest do you mean, mural/statue/mascot guy or forest dweller

[grim lark]

Dweller

I know his image is portrayed as god, but Him?

[near hawk]

Well that one's the Anti-christ for the theory

[near hawk]

The image and dweller are different probably

[floral kettle]

I don't think the real guest is human, besides aaron guest

[floral kettle]

yeah

[floral kettle]

there might be 2 guests, aaron and the real guy

[untold grotto]

yep there is

[floral kettle]

I really hope The Real Guest gets some cool feats in HN3 like he has in HNVR or the books

[high brook]

tbh the concept art guest looks better than the finalized model for some reason

[lucid crescent]

Yeah

[lofty lagoon]

Yeah

[untold grotto]

i liked the final one more but fair

[unborn fable]

Hi

[eager glade]

hey guys i was gone for the whole day any news?

[low gate]

No

[eager glade]

sad did nikita say any cool info

[low gate]

No

dont worry though lad cos this usually happens when devlogs are soon

[eager glade]

mmmm

[icy galleon]

can i play hn3 and if a can how to paly

hello

[sand flare]

U need to wait until pre alpha releases because prototype 3 was just shut down to make room for pre alpha then when it does download it on steam

[icy galleon]

Ok thanks

[earnest cape]

One is the urban legend and symbol of the town the other is the actual real thing the town got the urban legends from. Same way around with how older version of the golden apple mascot is a replica version of The Guest just slightly different.

[chrome sun]

So adult Aaron might be guest?

[bronze phoenix]

whoever said the pre alpha is coming yesterday or today is horribily wrong

[bronze phoenix]

is the other one "the visitor"?

[celest plank]

i dont think aaron is the guest

or any human in general

the guest is ridiculously tall have u seen him in the prototype 1 menu

[untold grotto]

artstyle

[near hawk]

What Kryptqn said, and also doesn't really seem like Nikita's style

Also the beak is metal

[celest plank]

well the guest is defo fake

but i dont think his height is just artstyle

like that many things could be just artstyle and it doesnt hurt to think its not

[peak vortex]

And a devil may look human yet does it mean it is?

[untold grotto]

he is not

[surreal pond]

hello neighbor always does that so tbf it shouldn’t surprise you

[gleaming acorn]

hi guys it's me the devil

[near hawk]

Yeah, he once told me in a dream so

Confirmed

[rotund plaza]

I don't think forest dwellers is a human, (even if he isn't the guest)

[peak vortex]

It's a metaphor gng. I didn't mean the guest is literally the devil

[celest plank]

the guest must be a philosopher

[near hawk]

Analogy i think would be the better word here, not metaphor

But yeah you did kinda get misread i guess

[sand flare]

trust its releasing on the 27th trust or 31st

[loud canyon]

You may think I'm the devil and I wish your lives in peril

[peak vortex]

The guest is Socrates hence why he's so mysterious

[dry gate]

March 31st makes no sense, man. Grandeturisto said 'soon-ish' on the 18th, and waiting 13 days isn't 'soon' in any language. Based on the SteamDB activity and tinyBuild's Tuesday release habit, March 24th is the real deal. 31st is just a wild guess. 🙂 this is my guess, maybe it will actually come out on 27.03

[near hawk]

He didn't Say soon though

13 days can be just right for "soon-ish"

[dry gate]

Actually, he did say 'soon-ish' on the 18th. In the world of game leaks and SteamDB tracking, 13 days is a lifetime, not 'soon-ish'. If it was the 31st, they would've said 'later this month.' You don't update the public branch that much just to wait two weeks. 24th/27th is the only logical window

😐

[mighty orchid]

Why is yours bright

[dry gate]

It’s called Light Mode, ever heard of it? Maybe if you spent less time worrying about my brightness and more time reading the text, you’d see the 'soon-ish' proof right there. 🤡

[bronze phoenix]

?

[mighty orchid]

Alright relax I didn’t mean it as a bad thing but I also don’t know about the soon stuff. I just looked in here today

[bronze phoenix]

btw just be patient

Nikita releases it when he wants to

so dont make a estimation

u may be off by weeks

[civic totem]

It's not even actually soon, it's "soon-ish"

Which is funny

[bronze phoenix]

soon ish means ethier Not long or Pretty long

Soon means not long

Ish means Maybe

[mighty orchid]

I don’t even know what y’all are talking about

[dry gate]

"I am patient, but I’m also paying attention. Grandeturisto literally said 'soon-ish' on the 18th. If Nikita wanted us to wait 'weeks,' the team wouldn't be using that language or updating the SteamDB public branches daily. An estimation based on dev quotes isn't a random guess—it's following the data."

[civic totem]

HN3

And

Words

[bronze phoenix]

soon ish means maybe soon

not less then soon

so its better then to wait then just tire yourself over estimations

[mighty orchid]

I don’t what the soon stuff is

I haven’t paid enough attention

[dry gate]

Okay, okay, I won't argue here.

[bronze phoenix]

want me to explain

but it will be alot of yapping

[civic totem]

"An estimation based on dev quotes isn't a random guess—it's following the data." Bro is using AI 😭

[bronze phoenix]

lol

just let him chat however

[night vigil]

"Following Data" That's one way of saying you're overthinking "Soon-ish"

[bronze phoenix]

we dont start arguements here

SOON-ISH means Maybe soon

[civic totem]

Actually, we do start arguments quite often

[bronze phoenix]

so it can be a long time from here

[dry gate]

okay well I use ai because I'm not good at English right?

[civic totem]

Why are we even arguing about this

[night vigil]

HN3 am I right?

[dry gate]

yeah my mistake I shouldn't have talked about it

[civic totem]

HN3, yeah

[bronze phoenix]

Just Check carefully next time 🙂

[mighty orchid]

I’m assuming it’s just the next hn3 related build? Otherwise I’m lost

[bronze phoenix]

so yes?

[dry gate]

You probably don't know steamdb, right? Dude, this HN discord group is out of touch with reality.

[bronze phoenix]

yeah

i know it

[near hawk]

"13 days is a lifetime" you lost me

[dry gate]

I like hello neighbor but this community is really out of touch with the word soon-ish

[mighty orchid]

It’s just a word

We can just wait that’s about it

[bronze phoenix]

lol

Soon-ish means Maybe soon

[near hawk]

Soon-ish doesn't have any specific definition lol

[bronze phoenix]

in simple terms its Soon ish

[dry gate]

I probably have the best option: leave this group or stay but don't comment and ignore this.

[bronze phoenix]

which means

maybe soon

[night vigil]

Nikita literally just said that's it's coming "soon-ish" There's no heavy meaning here.

[mighty orchid]

Or just talk about anything else in hn3 other than a word

[night vigil]

I love me some HN3 Church yum yum

[civic totem]

"Soon-ish", in HN terms, doesn't mean anything as its just a variation of "Soon" which also doesn't mean anything in HN terms

A HN dev could say a game is coming soon, but you can be sure it won't

[dry gate]

dude anyway pre alpha will still be postponed when nikita says soon-ish like april or may? will it come out at all i know development is a lot of work but it's starting to get worse in 2026

[civic totem]

There's no release date for the Pre-Alpha so it can't really be postponed

[bronze phoenix]

guys let nikita finish the game

[dry gate]

just so

[bronze phoenix]

dont argue over release dates

[night vigil]

I remember back in the day Community Manager Jay said "You'll get news soon" for about 4 months so yeah, April and May sound very fitting

[civic totem]

Just so... what?

[near hawk]

Did the news come eventually

[bronze phoenix]

that is the most accurate release date prediction so far

[civic totem]

There are quite literally no release dates to argue about

[night vigil]

Nikita cancelled it in Devlog 1.5. So yeah, we did get news, of cancellation that is

[bronze phoenix]

this chat is filled with 10 year olds and they are impatient (not varx or frigid or waitforit)

[civic totem]

It could come out tomorrow, it could come out in 5 months, it could come out in 5 years

[near hawk]

You did just exclude most of the people in the chat tbf

[bronze phoenix]

Not NOW

there is some offline

[night vigil]

[bronze phoenix]

there was a dude

[near hawk]

I se

[bronze phoenix]

i dont remember his name

[near hawk]

Well whatever the case

[bronze phoenix]

he was super impatient

like he wanted the game to be unfinished and released now

😭 🙏

[dry gate]

please stop it and I don't want to be toxic and rude so clearly let me rest

[near hawk]

Let's just move on

[bronze phoenix]

alright then no one asked you to start arguements if you want talk with us

[bronze phoenix]

yea good move

anyways

[dry gate]

So sorry, I won't do this again, okay?

[bronze phoenix]

alright

yo wsp frix

[unborn fox]

Is the pre alpha canceled?

[unborn fox]

Hey

[bronze phoenix]

i dont think so

[civic totem]

No

[bronze phoenix]

it dosent have a set release date

[unborn fox]

Good

[bronze phoenix]

but its not canceled

anyways lets talk about the contents of Pre alpha so far

[low gate]

HN fans when something doesnt release in 0.2 milliseconds

[lavish ravine]

Day 16 without teasers of hn3

[lucid crescent]

Why would it be canceled

[lavish ravine]

Im Losing my mind

[bronze phoenix]

then keep it with you and dont lose it

[night vigil]

So, I'm pretty interested in the whole "Metaphorical Faust Comeback Theory" going around and I love the implications it has. Does anyone wanna talk about that instead of the whole "Soon-ish" thing

[lavish ravine]

[dry gate]

@bronze phoenix okay pixel I'll add you as a friend and tell you the truth about steamdb so you can trust me I won't write here you know what the rules are tinybuild

[civic totem]

What's that theory

[bronze phoenix]

Sure

[bronze phoenix]

thats weird but ok

[unborn fox]

Nikita is stalking our conversations

[near hawk]

That religious imagery is in HN3 but metaphorically as opposed to being literally the story about the devil and God.

[bronze phoenix]

maybe he is just dming someone

[near hawk]

The neighbor as the Devil, the Mural Guest as God and the forest dweller as the anti-christ

[unborn fox]

Can someone explain the theory thx

[bronze phoenix]

Guys i have a theory

what if THIS is the visitor

[near hawk]

The theory started here btw.

[bronze phoenix]

a good version of the guest

we dont know it

[civic totem]

I mean yeah

[bronze phoenix]

but i got a feeling

[unborn fox]

Thanks frigid

[bronze phoenix]

maybe

the citizins of Old town (as i like to call raven brooks in hn3) is trying to revive the visitor

and maybe the visitor is aaron

while the vandals

are trying to pray to the Guest

[unborn fox]

I think the town is being deceived to worship the wrong guest

[bronze phoenix]

i dont know if im being a total idiot or a genius rn

[mighty orchid]

Like two guest things?

[bronze phoenix]

yeah

one is the visitor and one is the guest

[dry gate]

@bronze phoenix Okay, I wrote to you, but you still haven't added me as a friend.

[mighty orchid]

Man I saw that

Well it’s deleted now but still

[unborn fox]

What are you talking about over there

[bronze phoenix]

wait lewt me talk

[dry gate]

okay I'll wait

[civic totem]

One is the fake guest the other is the real guest*

The visitor name isn't used

[opal shale]

hey um sorry but will any nice person like to buy me secret neighbour on steam? its going for 2usd if that helps 😅

[mighty orchid]

The neighbor was speaking to me as you know he does to everyone

[night vigil]

Mr. Peterson quite literally keeping the light "Good Weather" from Raven Brooks. Not only in the HN3 P3 ending, but also in this Main Key Art thingy. The Guest that we know not actually being "The Guest", but an imposter (AKA, the Forest Dweller). The real Guest actually is a "God of the Weather", and not a psychopathic monster running around snatching people away.

[bronze phoenix]

there is a chance

[civic totem]

0%

[unborn fox]

He is #hn3-discussion message

[bronze phoenix]

oh so the guest that in the art of raven brooks is a god?

[near hawk]

Probably, but not literally a god

Metaphorically

[bronze phoenix]

that would be cool

[near hawk]

As Nikita confirmed the Guest isn't supernatural

[unborn fox]

The devs are going to silence you (i love this theory)

[civic totem]

That lowkey ties into my theory that the real Guest isn't real

[near hawk]

Yeah it's funny

[bronze phoenix]

Wait wait so the citizens like jacob or historian they pray to the god guest

to remove the rain

[unborn fox]

It's me but am I real

[bronze phoenix]

and the vandals are praying to the fake guest

[near hawk]

Yup.
While vandals do rituals for the forest dweller

[bronze phoenix]

oh so my stupid theory is Part right

dont

that game is dead

also talk in #hello-neighbor

[mighty orchid]

I don’t think anyone would do that

[near hawk]

Use #secret-neighbor if You want

This is for Hello Neighbor 3

[opal shale]

i always wanted it, ive watched my favourite youtuber play it which got me into it lol. its going for cheap so thought i might have a chance

[night vigil]

Yes, to them, it's the "God figure" the people living in Raven Brooks believe in. That doesn't mean the "God" actually exists, but we know that they believe in it.

[opal shale]

thank u

[bronze phoenix]

is thare a name for the cult?

or is it unnamed

[mighty orchid]

The super cool cult

[bronze phoenix]

no like really

[near hawk]

Which cult? The people that worship mural Guest from HN3 or that dresses as Birds?

[unborn fox]

Sorry but could you change your bio, it's not appropriate for here. You will get banned.

[bronze phoenix]

the one that is a "god"

[near hawk]

Nameless

[opal shale]

its a bio tho, i ain't forcing anyone to look at it + they can't really control other people's bio that's like weird

[near hawk]

The people that worship forest dweller is called vandals though

Forest dweller is the one that is in the game and is hyper fast and all that stuff

[unborn fox]

Well they still will not allow it but ok

[night vigil]

It doesn't matter if The Guest is actually a god or not. What matters is the symbolism it has. The Residents believing in "The Guest" have hope, or a pride to protect. But Mr. Peterson as we know doesn't roll that way. He's seen this "Legend of the Guest" take away everything from. He has been betrayed by these believes. So why should the people living in Raven Brooks have hope, if he can't?

[night vigil]

Taking away, the "Light"

[near hawk]

Forest dweller meanwhile uses the image of The Guest that is a "God" to get followers

[eager glade]

any steamDB updates 👀

[near hawk]

Not afaik

[unborn fox]

Wait what if the townfolk believes that neibor is the devil and the dweller a god

[near hawk]

Making him a kind of Anti-christ

[civic totem]

No

Why would there be SteamDB updates on Sunday of all days

[high brook]

old hn1 plot possible return?

[unborn fox]

Doubt

[near hawk]

Metaphorically

[high brook]

wait steam db has update?

what change?

[near hawk]

Nope

[civic totem]

No, I don't think so

[night vigil]

I mean, the townsfolk 100% are very afraid of Mr. Peterson. After all, he did kidnap children, and also does everything in his power for their believes to be destroyed

[near hawk]

It's still different even then because there's no trapping in false reality bere

[unborn fox]

He's legally a wanted criminal still

Yeah that was confirmed if I'm not mistaken

[trim pine]

Funny thing: For my next video I was literally thinking of this specific theory. Also, it's not just the guest who controls the weather, but also the forest keepers (the cult with weather changing Sci-fi tech from the books)

[night vigil]

What I think is interesting tho, is the fact that nobody still to this day knows what it's like to be in Mr. Peterson's shoes. Mr. Peterson is the reason why "Evil things happen, at least that's what the Residents think". They are treating him like the "Devil", who is also the King and the source of all Evil

[near hawk]

What implications does it have for the town

Or for the story

[night vigil]

And this of course yeah. Can't forget that there's a lot of other stuff playing into the whole Weather Control thing, besides just "People worshipping" a God

[near hawk]

Thing is

Hello Neighbor 3 has its own sort of story

The only things that should fit 1:1 to my knowledge is Hide and Seek + Hello Neighbor 1

Cult is dispensible

[civic totem]

I'm pretty sure there isn't a cult in HN3

[night vigil]

Pretty sure it's way to early to say. It's just so interesting that this admittedly, heavily stretched Theory is working in certain aspects.

[civic totem]

I'd say the town has probably moved on from the kidnappings

It'd have been 3 decades after all

But

Uh

Actually

[near hawk]

They still disappear probably

[night vigil]

Totally agree, but what is interesting is that the Museum in HN3 P3 does still heavily imply that a cult is still canon, and also goes WAYYYY back in the timeline. Then again, all of this might change

[near hawk]

The Guest is gonna kill people

[civic totem]

How would Mr. Peterson still be a wanted criminal if there's no police in HN3?

[near hawk]

Do we know If he is one

[civic totem]

Come to think of it, is there even a Mayor in HN3?

[civic totem]

#hn3-discussion message

[near hawk]

I think he just hates people now tbf

So he just hides from them

For what reason, i don't know

[civic totem]

This doesn't seem very cult-ish to me

It's literally just a photo with a bunch of formally dressed people

It could just be a photo of the founding of the town

Which would make sense to have in a museum

[night vigil]

It's that typical depiction of a cult tho. For example, the movie "Get Out" also did this. Something pretending to be a "Family" and then actually being crazy. Then again, it's a theory.

[civic totem]

Agree to disagree

People just sort of dressed like that decades ago

[night vigil]

Oh btw, just a thought, but notice how they're Slenderman shaped, just like a certain someone pretending to be the God they're worshipping

[night vigil]

I meant this btw. It sure does look like a normal family. But when you know the context it's actually quite disturbing

[untold grotto]

he is not a wanted criminal though

he is just hiding

[civic totem]

I forgor 💀

[stone elk]

Hes been hiding since hn2?

[untold grotto]

he hiding from police in hn2
in hn3, we will see

[green storm]

Because Raven Brooks is almost abandoned, looks like it's doesn't figure at many road maps or the town have no touristic interest, I mean, it's seems that Golden Apple Industries almost left completly their business at the town but a single grosery store.

unless you want to make an urban expedition, a documentary or you want to search for someone else, there are no reason for a normal person to visit Raven Brooks

[native nexus]

<@&1162799252192379000>

[woven lodge]

thanks akinator now i have a virus

😠

[native nexus]

LOOOL

[bronze phoenix]

what website was it?

if its a third party website

[woven lodge]

idk i was lying

[bronze phoenix]

bro

if ur gonna lie go to #off-topic

[woven lodge]

Which is why in HN3 Akinator will not appear.

[bronze phoenix]

Omg

u know what

nevermind

anyone wanna talk about HN3

[quartz canopy]

lets talk about akinator virus

[bronze phoenix]

ok then go to #off-topic 🙂

[quartz canopy]

no because im here so lets talk about akinator virus ok?

[bronze phoenix]

i dont wanna talk about it

[quartz canopy]

you go #off-topic

then

[near hawk]

It would have appeared before

But now nuh uh

[bronze phoenix]

yo frigid

[near hawk]

Yo

[bronze phoenix]

whats a feature u want added in hn3?

just asking

[quartz canopy]

the akinator virus feature

[bronze phoenix]

def not

[near hawk]

Friendable neighbor!

[bronze phoenix]

Nice idea

for me i want a Weather Machine

where if u build it

u can make the Playthough longer

and it can alert the People of raven brooks

if there is a storm

[near hawk]

Ehh

The looping mechanic Is part of the gameplay

[mighty orchid]

Back to this topic it has a lot of potential here I can see it

[near hawk]

Sorry If i sound rude

[bronze phoenix]

nah i get it

it is a bit of a pull

[near hawk]

But making the time longer feels a little like going against the concept cuz the loop is a part of it

[bronze phoenix]

i agree

[near hawk]

I would like it If time was a little longer though

But If it were to be i'd like that to be inherent

[quartz canopy]

yes the akinator posseszes guest and his feet explode because of the akinator virus

[near hawk]

Rather than something obtainable

[bronze phoenix]

can u guys stop dragging the akinator virus thing?

[quartz canopy]

its all yoyr fault because akinator gave me a virus

so go to #off-topic

[bronze phoenix]

?

[near hawk]

Nikita keeps comparing it to outer wilds, there it's longer than 15-20 Minutes though not by much

[bronze phoenix]

Outer wilds dosent ring a bell?

may you explain what it is?

[quartz canopy]

it does but akinator rings the bell even louder

[near hawk]

A game about space and stuff.
With time loops

[bronze phoenix]

bro stop

this isnt funny no more

[quartz canopy]

Akinator

[bronze phoenix]

alright

this server should make a revive ping

[frosty gyro]

its a sci-fi space archeology game with a time loop and solving the mystery of your solar system.

[bronze phoenix]

alr

[eager glade]

news.

[bronze phoenix]

what newas

[quartz canopy]

the akinator virus news

[late scroll]

News?

@broken galleon that’s your thing

[molten halo]

Mr Peterson in my art style

I might one day make my own hello neighbor game

Still a wip

Also he's fat. But makes up for it in strength

He has some good arms

[broken galleon]

😊😊 Hi 😊

[gleaming acorn]

as god intended.

bearded neighbor reference

from the whole one image where he has a beard (not the painting)

[molten halo]

Here it is!

My take on Theodore peterson

This is also my first drawing like this. So yeah :D

I'm proud of it

[finite carbon]

Looks good for a first drawing in that style! I like blue v neck!
The rendering job is pretty solid. The aesthetic is great!

I do have some feedback for the art to further improve on it. Maybe add more shadowing to the legs, The hand on the left is a little wonky, One leg seems thicker than the other (so maybe even that out just a bit), The shoulders are a little uneven, and The shoulder on the right is a bit too high up.

Overall great job!!! The aesthetic is very good!!! The rendering job is solid.

There are just a couple of things that could be improved on the art.

Also the background is amazing!!!!

[molten halo]

Wait a second. Actually good criticism? Advice? AM I DREAMING?? THANK YOU!!!

And yeah

The proportions weren't my main focus. Because it's hello neighbor

The man has sticks for legs

[finite carbon]

Understandable, Proportions are a bit exaggerated within the franchise.

[near meadow]

Its 100% this week

[dry gate]

I think you are too, I have to wait for the official message from Nikita

[celest plank]

dont worry guys once pre alpha is out ill tell you all

[bronze phoenix]

any news

[night vigil]

I’m really betting on this week, and if so please let it be the 27th on a Friday. I would like to play it all night with good conscience that I don’t have work the next day lol

[eager glade]

NEWS?!

news....

[night vigil]

no 🥲

[eager glade]

oh news

im hungry for some pre alpha screenshots 👀

[night vigil]

I’m hungry for THE Pre Alpha.

[bronze phoenix]

it might be released on weekend

but ur being too hopeful

[night vigil]

Im just a dreamer, let me dream 🌈

[eager glade]

mmee tooo

[eager glade]

no such thing as too hopeful

[wicked moth]

Nikita is online now, so hopefully he will bestow the Pre alpha upon us all! (Or at least some new screenshots/clips)

[eager glade]

n-n-n-n-n

news?

[past cave]

when is the neighbor gonna be interactable antagonist
i would love to throw a CHAIR at the neighbor

[eager glade]

hopefully in pre alpha

[night vigil]

Jeez, I would really like some NEWS right now. It would be so cool if we got some NEWS right about now.

[eager glade]

news???

NEWZ!?

[night vigil]

News??

News👌👍

[eager glade]

me when news:

[night vigil]

Me when no news: 🙃😭

[eager glade]

me when kind of news?:🙂

[novel peak]

I wonder when Nikita will update the Steam page?

[mellow root]

Fr

[bronze phoenix]

u guys are going crazy

[novel peak]

March 10 was the last update on the Steam page, and March 17 was the last update for the playtest. Both according to SteamDB

March 10 + 17 = 27 🔥 🔥 🔥

[novel peak]

YES

[near meadow]

That be cool but I’d still have it today, if I could choose when it came out

I prefer sooner

[celest plank]

i prefer friday

[novel peak]

We'll have to wait and see

[dry gate]

Okay Friday sounds good

[night vigil]

Probably with the pre alphas release

[civic totem]

What makes you say that

There wasn't even a SteamDB update today

[wicked moth]

I just want some news, any news

[night vigil]

The only steamdb update we got before p3 released was an steamdb change 10 days before release. So we aren’t going to get another steamdb change until release probably

Then again, maybe this time it’ll be different

[civic totem]

I don't think trying to use patterns is a good idea

[night vigil]

Yeah no, I’m just saying.

[civic totem]

The update the playtest got 10 days before the release of P3 was the removal of P2
P3 was removed on Feb 2 and it's been more than 10 days since that

[night vigil]

This steamdb update stuff basically changes every time

[lavish ravine]

Morning guys

[dry gate]

Are you guys still working on the pre-alpha? The same question, when will the pre-alpha be released? And the answer is when the game is ready and done, okay guys? just don't solve it

[civic totem]

1. They are obviously still working on the Pre-Alpha
2. They don't give out release dates

[night vigil]

I think we all know we’re not solving anything, but theorizing is different

[dry gate]

1.Yes, Pre-alpha development may take a while.
2.and you're right I don't have a release date

otherwise I forgot to say hello how are you

[night vigil]

It’s also coming soon-ish 🙃

[civic totem]

Me? I'm doing good

[civic totem]

Which just... doesn't mean anything

[night vigil]

Exactly

[dry gate]

That word soon-ish again

[dry gate]

cool

[night vigil]

🙏News🙏

[dry gate]

by the way, I'm actually playing prototype 2 because prototype 3's optimization is terrible, I'm not saying prototype 3 is bad, but the optimization is really laggy When the Prototype 3 came out, the frame rate dropped significantly when the storm and wind started 😉

[sand flare]

and if people think its coming on the 24th WHENS THE TRAILER

[near meadow]

Steamdb got an update recently last week, its first update I mean for hn3

Its very soon

Everytime you know build is about to release soon-ish, steam db will always give a “first update” on it

That would mean in a few days or week

[sand flare]

Sooo whens the trailer then

[thick ferry]

I Hope pre alpha has great optimization

[near meadow]

Now when theres a second update on steamdb, its usually THAT day or that very week.

[sand flare]

cause p3 trailer got released a few days before p3

[thick ferry]

🤷‍♀️

I think it’s this month

That’s my prediction

[dry gate]

Great, I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for the info.

[sand flare]

ohhhh

ok

[dry gate]

Sorry, I wasn't supposed to delete that

[sand flare]

its ok

[dry gate]

I'm from the Czech Republic, so I'm writing in Czech and translating it into English

[dry gate]

Yeah, Mr. Peterson never disappoints

Okay, I have to go now. If there's any pre-alpha info, let me know when you're back here.

[wicked moth]

Please let Nikita give us some more news today

[dry gate]

You have to wait; they're not that fast.

[near meadow]

Prototype 3 update happened 3 hours after the second steamdb updated

Keep checking it everyday

[sand flare]

whats the point itll come out when it does knowing 3 hours before hand wont make it come any earlier

[dry gate]

Yeah, exactly—there are updates on SteamDB on Tuesdays, too.

[spiral atlas]

No new updates yet, but I'll keep checking

[sand flare]

and anyways first they will add the trailer if there is one first

[spiral atlas]

SteamDB updates typically come a while before even the announcement that it's coming out does

[cunning yacht]

I think pre alpha isn't soonish now.

[dry gate]

How come there won't be any soon? How do you know? “Bro, they literally said ‘soon-ish’ 😄 relax”

[high brook]

April sounds better tbh

[celest plank]

yeah well hn3 seems to be hard to develop so i just want them to take their time

it doesnt look like theyre ready yet

[high brook]

Unless it comes out in like June LOL

Imagine

[celest plank]

june is impossible mate 😭

[high brook]

Kid named delay

[raven pilot]

i kinda doubt it will realese on the 27th

[bronze phoenix]

Alright

let me do some calulations

since yall wont stop guessing the release date so i will tell u a date that maybe it will come out

Keep in mind this is not exact \

so dont expect anything off of this

just use this as a date to expect

or

oh hell no

[quartz canopy]

date to expect: akinator virus birthday

[bronze phoenix]

i swear if u say akanator again i will

also guys dont use other release dates for this one

release dates are random

and once the game is finished it will not be released immedeitly

because the Devs need to hype it up with trailers

so lets do this

[quartz canopy]

release date: marc 21 of the akinator year

[bronze phoenix]

if the trailer of proto 3 came out 10 days

we can say that the devs will wait 1-2 weeks for hype to release the game

but sadly i dont think the game is in the final stages

[quartz canopy]

yes im so excites for prottoypr e3

[bronze phoenix]

and it might take a week

until they are in the final stages

so if im predicting

[high brook]

Proto 3 already came
Out

?

[bronze phoenix]

Pre alpha will come out in Late april - early may

Prediction

not real release date

but if we are not using the late april or Early may thing

then i think it will come out

in april 20th - May 14th

[quartz canopy]

no becayse @bronze phoenix says hypothetically if prottoype 3 trailer comes out today then devs will release in 1-2 weeks

[keen hemlock]

😦

[smoky walrus]

Guys what is yours fastest speedrun of hn3?

[quartz canopy]

7 hours

[smoky walrus]

Nahhh fr?

[near hawk]

297 hours personally

[smoky walrus]

What did u even do 7 hours😭

[bronze phoenix]

15-30 minutes i think

[grim tree]

I think things could be different than with the prototypes. If this is a pre-alpha, it's possible that the trailer will come out a few days before the release, or at the same time as the pre-alpha itself.

[bronze phoenix]

they need to build hype

[quartz canopy]

no?

[bronze phoenix]

well if they want high attension they need hype

and when they did the trailer

for proto 3

[quartz canopy]

no? i dont want atenssion

[near hawk]

What is hype

[bronze phoenix]

Proto 3 was sucessful in terms of attension

[quartz canopy]

its when you see akinator virus and he starts giving you attension

[bronze phoenix]

the community excitement

[near hawk]

Or attension

[quartz canopy]

and then you feel hype

[bronze phoenix]

attension is when someone focus on something or someone

[near hawk]

What's is attension

[near hawk]

Cool

[quartz canopy]

@bronze phoenix what is attension

[near hawk]

Why would anyone want high attension

Or hype

[bronze phoenix]

to make thier game sucessful

[quartz canopy]

yes i prefer akinator virus

[grim tree]

Maybe, but if we were told that the pre-alpha would be out "soonish", then I think it's in the coming weeks, probably by the end of the first week of April

[quartz canopy]

why let a game be successful instead of having akinator virus @bronze phoenix

[bronze phoenix]

soon-ish means Maybe soon so nikita dosent know what soon means to us so if he says soon and its later for us we will be confused so soon-ish means Maybe soon which means that it can be later

[near hawk]

What does ish mean

Or soon

[quartz canopy]

do you think hn3 will be given many attensions

[quartz canopy]

@bronze phoenix

[grim tree]

Yes, but then it is impossible to predict anything, because everything is based on the personal opinion of each of us. For some it is tomorrow, and for some it is a year from now

[quartz canopy]

for me it is attentions away from release

because attension is important

[bronze phoenix]

the point is that Nikita dosent know if its soon so he said "soon-ish" so dont treat it as of the 27th speculation, because it might be terribly false

[quartz canopy]

the 27th is akinator virus birthday

[high brook]

Yea so what i said, June

[near hawk]

What if it's false but in a peak way though

[bronze phoenix]

june is a bit too long for whats been working on since November

but its possible if there is delays

[quartz canopy]

akinator vius is the best date

it will be given lots of attensions

[feral kayak]

wow

[near hawk]

Huh

Oh wow

[crystal hare]

what was that

[mighty orchid]

I don’t know about y’all but I usually interpret soon-ish as maybe soon.

[dry gate]

Well, finally someone said it out loud. I guess I'll add you as a friend.

[mighty orchid]

But you never know with the akinator virus

[near hawk]

Perfection!!!

Idk why people for some reason think soonish means 748 years when it really only means up to 747 years

[mighty orchid]

That’s just me but I could be wrong

[civic totem]

HN3 will sell 1 neightrilllion copies

<@&1162799252192379000>

[wicked moth]

Nikita, in the pre alpha, is there any more map changes? For instance, is Nicky's house in the game?

[neon ether]

Hello everyone

[severe merlin]

I didn’t use “soon”, so people wouldn’t think it’s tomorrow or something. Don’t want to give false expectations.
If we’ll go with a bit more informative approach, I’d say it’s going to be around next week.
(I’m sure I’ll regret saying real timeframe )

[near meadow]

Nice

[civic totem]

Next week m

[thin portal]

Wait. Does that mean it´s probably next week, or is it just an example?

Nevermind, it´s indeed an example.

[civic totem]

Oh well

Not next week then

I'm sure nothing bad will come of this

[untold grotto]

its around next week

[thin portal]

My English comprehension is getting worse and worse

[stable hill]

Please Nikita i need this, My Neighbor is kinda Basement-less, I live with my Neighbor Quentin, i wanna help him out

[grizzled pecan]

Nikita do we have more soundtracks in next pre-alpha?

[high brook]

I think he said yes before

[wild girder]

Will any of the music from the devlogs or RBO be in Hello Neighbor 3 such as "Dirt Chateau" or "Passage of Time"

If those are even the correct names of them

[high brook]

Yea I wanna see those return too

[wild girder]

Some of them I don't see being in the game like the music for Devlog 3 and 2 but the music from Devlog 1 feels like it could work as ambient music.

[hoary heath]

What is devlog 4 be about

If you can spoil a little like you do in final devlog 1

[near meadow]

Dude

Its literally about pre alpha

What else is it supposed to be about

[high brook]

Nikita finally shared an estimated date?

[hoary heath]

Bro i know but more spesifik i want

[eager glade]

even if its not next week and its a small delay then ill still be happy

[crystal hare]

Did Nikita just said that pre-alpha may come out next week?

Did i get it right?

[night vigil]

My holiday starts next week. So next week would literally be perfect for me

[night vigil]

Yep, pretty sure that's what he said. Although the fact that he already regrets saying that makes me think it's not coming out next week lol

[quaint talon]

Maybe

[hoary heath]

I wish it this week

[eager glade]

nu

[severe merlin]

Correct

[keen hemlock]

it was my birthday recently so this is a nice surprise

thanks for telling us nikita

[thin portal]

Oh, that´s interesting.

[near meadow]

Will you show the protagonist character design in the devlog or show it sooner not in devlog?

Nikita will you add 0451 to game

[eager glade]

AGHHH

[wicked moth]

Nikita, is there any more map changes in pre alpha??

[trim pine]

Question to the devs (if they're okay with answering): Are future HN3 version gonna feature things related to the big city? Just asking, because I thought it will be interesting to have small details, like cars on the highway moving past Raven Brooks and going towards the bigger town, or a delivery truck that appears once in a playthrough to deliver ingredients to the Golden Apple Market.

[wicked moth]

Yes, this will pre interesting to know

[low gate]

I feel that this takes away from the idea that raven brooks is on the brink of being completely abandoned

so much so its thought to be a ghost town

[thorn flax]

maybe time for mini sneekpeak?

[late veldt]

if it is gonna be around next week i dont think thats necessary

its kinda weird we havent really seen much from this build tho

im sure nikita has reasons for that but still

[polar linden]

will we see trailer for signing up fro playtest, like it was with p3?

[lavish ravine]

Nikita gonna show smth tomorrow or other day of this week
