[celest plank]

what curses did the neighbor do on him for his mentality to become like that

[near hawk]

Besides the fact he was isolated and locked down for who knows how long...

[high brook]

what if the real guest is simplecharacter

[celest plank]

well thats rookie stuff even my grandma can survive that

[near hawk]

The fact that he pushed his sister and basically caused her death would also take a mental toll on him

[celest plank]

its a shame he became a psychopath

[near hawk]

Ok but Aaron is rookie so...

[peak solar]

everyone's talking about this stuff so

might as well put what I think here

I genuinely believe the neighbor is being kept alive due to hate and misery

and is the only thing carrying him forward until the town's destruction from the storm

[untold grotto]

his sense of self gets wrecked he dont see himself as a "normal" kid anymore he see himself as the one who ruins things or basically the problem, that kind of guilt creates an identity vacuum, when your own identity feels broken and weak, you attach to something stronger, in this case its the guest
whos feared, "powerful", has a statue meanwhile aaron feels small, guilty, powerless so subconsciously he gravitates toward that symbol

[celest plank]

i hope the guest's running animation will be changed

right now it doesnt make sense for a human to be running this fast on all fours

[untold grotto]

the god becomes an psychological shield to him

[untold grotto]

its not literal

[celest plank]

i think he'd be creepier walking upright

[untold grotto]

like him being enormous size is also not literal

its a symbolism

he may be tall, but not that tall

this also ties with why is signed being hunched over

[peak solar]

this entire game revolves around the cycle of life, death, and rebirth

[untold grotto]

• #hn3-discussion message

[peak solar]

it would make sense that the man who can't move on from the past would live for as long as he did

especially since the Historian has been alive since the founding of Raven Brooks itself

[high brook]

what if the guest is the neighbor again?

👀

anything is possible

[night vigil]

Dreamer

[gleaming acorn]

peterson cloned himself... by jove, this makes perfect sense!

[celest plank]

i honestly genuinely love the artstyle of hello neighbor 3

[celest plank]

i cant wait for it to be finalized but its starting to be my favorite

[near hawk]

What If the Guest is Mya again

[celest plank]

the design of a lot of stuff there is intentional and i love it

[untold grotto]

what if WE are the guest

[high brook]

fair

[night vigil]

It's honestly so beautiful.

[candid wave]

is a trailer coming out today

[near hawk]

I shed a tear due to how beautiful this theory is

[gleaming acorn]

diane faked her death and waited 32 years to become a forest dweller

[high brook]

imagine the lore is just "player is a schizo and it was a fully ghost town the entire time"

[untold grotto]

its not that much different from it

[near hawk]

(ghost towns don't have to be fully empty btw)

[gleaming acorn]

guest is player's missing mom and you have a loving reuinion at the end of the game before it kills you

[night vigil]

Ew

[gleaming acorn]

it IS a ghost town

[untold grotto]

its just bunch of strangers talking about what happened to raven brooks

[high brook]

yea

[celest plank]

it really is but to me it feels more like autumn rather than spring
there are leaves all over the ground and a lot of trees are just bare

and the overall foliage is like

pale

[gleaming acorn]

it's early spring, all the snow melted but nothing's regrown yet

[gleaming acorn]

actually you can see a snow in three of these

[celest plank]

ye ik

id honestly prefer for the map to be more wet idk how to explain it

since the snow is melting

[gleaming acorn]

raven brooks drought going on rn sorry

[untold grotto]

i think its done deliberately

[high brook]

just like it is where i live

[night vigil]

Pretty sure a lot of these things, like pale foliage and the overall "Fall" rather than "Spring" Vibes are just unfinished, and going to get better and more noticeable later in development

[celest plank]

yeah i hope

i cant really judge the artstyle yet

[untold grotto]

the absence of the festival in town brings misfortune and causes drought

hence why the lake is dried out

[candid wave]

Is a trailer coming out today?

[limpid pewter]

doubt it

[untold grotto]

no

[high brook]

this guest render is perfect but the only thing that bothers me is the inverted normalmaps

[near meadow]

Tommorow lets seee

[cunning yacht]

is devlog4 exist?

[near hawk]

Not yet

[cunning yacht]

hn3 tomorrow, i'll believe it!

[tall sorrel]

HN4 never

[cunning yacht]

yeah, hn4 will never exist, i guess

[near hawk]

Hi what did you guys think of the HN4 announcement

[bronze steppe]

thats what they say about HN3 years ago

[peak solar]

HN3 just feels final to me

[thick ferry]

Isn’t it the final game

[peak solar]

the final MAIN game probably

[thick ferry]

After hn3 there will be be sequels or smth

Or spinoffs

[peak solar]

like, there's no way there isn't some kind of other spinoffs happening

but HN3 is probably the end of the main storyline

it takes place at the very end, so it just makes sense

there is one thing I hope happens though after HN3.

[tall sorrel]

?

[peak solar]

If HN3 does well

and I mean REALLY well

the one thing I hope happens, even though literally no possible profit motives come out of it

is a potential reboot of Hello Neighbor 2, to fill in a few gaps in the story.

[oblique parcel]

Like the full game version of the story but expanded upon or wdym?

[peak solar]

it really just depends on whatever the devs would want

[loud canyon]

they wouldnt need to do much as the story itself isnt the issue its the lackthereof a story, they can add additional plot like what happened to Quentin. They would also need to overwrite the characters AI with improved ai and merely improve the map and rework the open world exploration system. And the game would be fine

although i think a quality remaster of HN1 is higher priority

[novel peak]

all of Hello Neighbor Franchise.

Anyways...Pre-Alpha tomorrow?

[chilly sundial]

Nikita and the pre-alpha, when will that happen?

[warm crane]

There will be a pre-alpha today ?

[thin thunder]

Nah, I don't think we're gon end the game without saving aaron. Like, that is the main thing. But yeah, ig it could also be just revealed in the upcoming books

[warm crane]

Look, just because it didn't work out in 2 days doesn't mean it won't work out in a week

[rustic forge]

I don't think so, but there's still a chance

[lucid willow]

People, I haven't been here for a long time. Has the 4th prototype been released?

[shell oyster]

i hope hn will get a reboot if hn 3 did well

[loud canyon]

There wont be a 4th Prototype, it will be the Pre Alpha

it was stated to possibly release this week sometime

[shell oyster]

i hope to god nitka take his time with hn3

[loud canyon]

he has been

[stone elk]

Could be any day now

👅

[limpid pewter]

i feel like its gonna be wednesday

[sand flare]

[woven lodge]

Pre-alpha releases on April fools?

"April fools, Hello Neighbor 3 isn't a real game!"

[lavish ravine]

Oh no …

[queen sapphire]

Hi, Nikita. Will the pre-alpha be a big step in development like the prototypes were?

[gleaming acorn]

fella sayin this like the full game drops after the pre-alpha 💔 there are still 1000 more builds to go

[wicked moth]

https://giphy.com/gifs/2NReBJdfalnnMYbZXM

Dont worry, pre alpha is soon

[untold grotto]

lead ue developer

atleast she was like that in hn2

[near meadow]

Anyways I don’t think its today

Its still a prediction because quite literally any day has the same possibility but for today im betting it wont happen

[night vigil]

I feel like friday would make the most sense tho

[near meadow]

Well we said that 3 times

They released on random days

[limpid pewter]

i think Wednesday

[near meadow]

Last one was monday

Again, idk

[woven lodge]

Christmas!

Always bet on Christmas!

[eager glade]

[woven lodge]

Today isn't Christmas?

[eager glade]

todaayy

[bronze steppe]

idk today but surely this week

[trim pine]

I kinda miss those lawnmowers

[limpid pewter]

Same

[wild girder]

Same but I can understand why they got rid of them.

[eager glade]

heyguys

[tall sorrel]

we still even have an emoji for it

[gentle pebble]

Most of TB and EGS is online for some other reason really

[tall sorrel]

didn't they drop a new game yesterday?

(tB)

[gentle pebble]

Hosy

It has a HN3 cameo also

[tall sorrel]

that'd explain why most of tinyBuild is active

[oblique parcel]

This

[stone elk]

does it show in the trailer?

[gentle pebble]

No

It is on some YT channel

[stone elk]

cool

[limpid pewter]

hello

[blissful shuttle]

Didn't they add that in one of the prototypes of hn3

[ember wasp]

they added it in prototype 2

[trim pine]

Yes, but we never saw it again since Prototype 2

[trim pine]

Also, does anyone remember this game seemed to have been planned to have snow? I'm pretty sure it can be seen in some concept art images, but I can't find them.

[gentle pebble]

It’s just a concept art thing

[trim pine]

Ok

[untold grotto]

the game takes place at very early spring

so theres snows that melting

and the game has them in some places

[ember wasp]

maybe true but then again. they might move the date

[oblique parcel]

Where did you find this

Let me guess

Google Ai search thing

[eager glade]

💩

[lavish ravine]

That it’s real or no

[eager glade]

obv not bro

[versed ravine]

AI knows as much as is public

So as much as you know

So no, it's not real

AI is not omniscient

Not maybe

[eager glade]

stupid ai stupid fake announcing

[trim pine]

Try clicking the icon next to the ai text. It should be a link to the actual source it got it from

[oblique parcel]

[eager glade]

im ded

[gleaming acorn]

there's actively snow in the game

at least for now

patches of it, i mean

given most of it is melting

[low gate]

i see it

[high brook]

Guys is this a teaser???

This must be a sign!

[low gate]

it must be a.. siiggnnneeed

[night vigil]

A hn3 dlc for that game would be cool

[near meadow]

Its not today

See yall tommorow

[high brook]

Can we just have it already bro I’m crine waiting for this

[near meadow]

No updates

[bronze phoenix]

hello

[near meadow]

No nada

[loud karma]

nikita is never giving another time frame not gonna lie

[bronze phoenix]

lol

[low gate]

April 1st would be an evil day to post it

Or will they

[bronze phoenix]

oh hell no

[low gate]

Will they pretend they did they dont

[bronze phoenix]

if they release it at april 2nd

[low gate]

What will happen

[night vigil]

So you’re… Waiting for it ?

[bronze phoenix]

i will never forgive the world

because im going on a trip

[lavish ravine]

Nikita it’s so quiet ….

[high brook]

Yea that was a mistake

I see why he doesn’t give them

[low gate]

"Hello today pre alpha releases.. HAHA APRIL FOOLS YOU STUPID IMBECILLLESSS IT RELEASED YESTERDAY" then we all get pinged with a post that was in the announcements yesterday

[night vigil]

This is exactly the reason why he doesn’t give dates.

[high brook]

The hype gets too unbearable and then it just delays the game even more

[low gate]

the time barrier breaks and we end up in a groundhog day

[near meadow]

Yup

[deft summit]

I mean he did say he might regret saying it

[eager glade]

news?!

[deft summit]

I think people need to start learning that estimations are

estimations

[night vigil]

[deft summit]

they're not set in stone

Nikita even said he might regret giving a time stamp for this very reason (that and people get angry that something has to be delayed, honestly people who get mad at delays suck)

so it's very reasonable to expect that if said week goes by

it wasn't a reasonable time frame

[bronze steppe]

nop

[near hawk]

No getting mad at delays is very reasonable ngl.
Just as long as you don't do any "legit" criticism about it on everywhere.

[deft summit]

basically people need to learn to be patient, hype is not good when it leads to impatience

[dry gate]

Hi :D

[deft summit]

how is getting mad at delays reasonable

no seriously how

[near meadow]

I just want nikita to outright say if he can’t release it this weekz

[deft summit]

you're basically getting mad that the developers couldn't finish something in time when this is a process that takes tons of time

and predicted time frames never should be taken as set in stone release dates ever

[limpid pewter]

wouldnt a delay be sorta good as it shows they are taking their time

[deft summit]

YES

[near hawk]

Do i really need to explain.
You're waiting for smth really cool and it turns out it's not releasing then
Sometimes people actually have to make room in their schedules only for what they're waiting to be released not then.

[deft summit]

FINALLY someone says it

[deft summit]

do I need to explain why this is all stupid

Hello Neighbor as a franchise has failed because they keep rushing

they have to cut out promises they make because it wasn't reasonable for their time frame

[limpid pewter]

it would be annoying for us but i would rather them delay it than release a buggy mess i get its not the full game but still

[night vigil]

Then again, it’s a pre alpha, it’s gonna have bugs anyway. But yes, you’re 100% right

[deft summit]

even if it's a Pre-Alpha version people still expect it to be in a playable state

this is not the time to start rushing out updates especially because for alot of people this is the last chance they're giving this franchise

[near hawk]

Okay? As i said it's not reason for criticising something everywhere.
If someone is just a bit mad that the thing they're waiting for gets delayed it's really nothing of a problem.

[deft summit]

it's ESPECIALLY important that you do not rush them just because they couldn't meet a deadline

[night vigil]

I also really hope this version will be more optimized than the last one. That also, you guessed it, takes 👏 time 👏

[deft summit]

you do realize that most of the people who get mad at delays

are the ones who complain about it

right..?

they do not keep it to themselves

therefore it IS a problem

it is not ok to be mad at developers when they're just trying to do their job

deadlines already stress them out enough

they don't need people getting mad at them to make it worse

[near hawk]

Okay, but that's not inherently a problem of getting mad due to the delay.
That's a problem on people who do take it to everywhere

[deft summit]

which is the vast majority

because getting angry makes people want to vent it out

[near hawk]

Getting mad at delays =/= getting mad at developers.

[deft summit]

not many people can keep that anger to themselves because anger is inherently something you cannot keep to yourself

[deft summit]

delays usually happen because the developers couldn't finish in time

that obviously creates a connection

saying they don't equate is really not helping

the moral is to be patient

[ember wasp]

can I just say this that sometimes delays are reasonable and are needed

[near hawk]

The delay itself is the product not releasing when it was said to.

[deft summit]

stop getting yourself hyped up over a POTENTIAL time frames of release

Nikita never outright CONFIRMED it

just that it was possible

[near hawk]

Yeah

He never did

So in this case correct i guess?

[deft summit]

and infact if a product never got delayed and always met release dates, even if predicted, I would honestly not see the final result as that good of a product

[near hawk]

But in general when the developer/marketing team/whoever sets a release date and hypes it up its reasonable

[ember wasp]

he will never give out release windows to upcoming versions of the game because he wants to be honest to the people

[deft summit]

there atleast has to be one delay

if there is not atleast one delay then I do not trust that they put time into it

unless we literally knew they worked years on it I don't trust it

[oblique parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/on-fire-pizza-gif-6074641

[near hawk]

In this case it's very much different due to the fact that Nikita just saw people being curious over pre Alpha and figured to make an estimate

[eager glade]

NEWWSS?!

wait whats goin on

[near hawk]

Okay thats enough of this

[night vigil]

[slender basin]

Guys, please keep in mind that we haven't announced an alpha date. Until that happens, we ask that you please be respectful and patient.
Remember that the channel exists for you to talk about the game and ask our devs questions.

[deft summit]

exactly what my point was

[eager glade]

caps limit? (joke you can decide when i can have it removed )

[ember wasp]

mine aswell

[deft summit]

I'm just tired of people treating people making games horribly just because it wasn't released on a date

[slender basin]

Msg me on Friday. Deal?

[deft summit]

it's really awful

[near meadow]

You know the last time jacky said something like that prototype 3 released

Jkjk

[low gate]

Didnt see anyone doing it really but any hello way what the neighdogs happenin

im saving this can of pepsi specifically to watch the devlog while drinking

[slender basin]

It's not a spoiler

[eager glade]

deal

[night vigil]

Sounds absolutely peak

[slender basin]

Let the devs cook, you know it will be worth it 🙂

[deft summit]

I see delays as a necessity anyways

[near hawk]

Okay i should make smth for that occasion too

[oblique parcel]

While i understand your all excited

But like its soon lol

[deft summit]

you see they delay it and you know they WANT it to be polished

[oblique parcel]

It doesnt have to be this very moment or today

[eager glade]

tomorrow i say

[bronze phoenix]

Hello neighbor is love

[eager glade]

i bet on hn3 everyday

[eager glade]

[dry gate]

Dude, are you kidding me? April 10th—that’s the dumbest date and comment ever xd Friday doesn't make sense to me

[celest plank]

friday makes perfect sense

you come back from work to play pre alpha and there are 2 more days off ahead

thats how most people release their projects

[deft summit]

or for most of the members they come back from school

[finite carbon]

So….Its Tuesday now and there has been no teasers or trailers for pre-alpha, I’m starting to doubt that it will release this week.

[high brook]

may 27th trust

[deft summit]

I mean let's be real no matter how mature HN may become because of how heavily YouTubers back in the day pushed it onto their younger audiences, and how TB themselves seemed to market HN towards more kids, plus the entirety of the cartoon
kids are gonna make up the big part of the fanbase

[wicked moth]

I'm sure no one will be mad if release plans have changed. We'd all just like to know if it is still going to release this week (As mentioned a little while ago,) or not. Please?

[finite carbon]

(Which is sort of the opposite of why that younger crowd initially got invested into the franchise)

[high brook]

i hope hn3 doesnt become all kid friendly and stuff like hn1

and not really fun

and all bright and colorful

[deft summit]

I mean atleast in HN1 it started kid friendly

yes, I said started

[celest plank]

i think alex himself said it in the devgamm thing that they switched hello neighbor to a more kid friendly game

[high brook]

true? ish

[eager glade]

i feel like the week we expect hn3 to come out was literally decades ago and were past it

[finite carbon]

Hello Neighbor really needs to stop this E for Everyone thing and just go pg 13 like other games in its genre

[celest plank]

which is why theres suddenly this big house since alpha 3 of hn1

[deft summit]

I don't think the artstyle means much in regards to it being kid friendly actually

[high brook]

remember when prototype 1 was suppost to come out in the end of november and it came out in like feburary instead

[deft summit]

kids would've loved the old artstyle anyways, it was pretty bright and colorful in it's own right

I mean alot of the overlays for the textures were reused in a previous game they made, one that was literally for cut the rope or somethin' like that

[deft summit]

I mostly say it because they initially planned alot of more mature content before the Pre-Alpha released

[random shell]

This is so off-topic, but did they say how many people are working on HN I doubt it’s just Nikita

[deft summit]

but alot of it was cut

[high brook]

sadly

maybe

the lore would of been way better and deeper

[deft summit]

with HN3 I don't think it's gonna be unfamily friendly

[deft summit]

eh

I didn't like the Faust lore

[high brook]

well yea but not like goo goo gaa gaa

[celest plank]

yeah i personally dont like the old hn lore

[high brook]

i genuinally dont know how hn3 hasnt turned into ai slop content farm content yet

[deft summit]

also it's important to remember that the final artstyle is actually something that started alongside the old artstyle since the concept art

[deft summit]

I see it more as something like one of the older Tim Burton movies where it's not unfamily friendly

but it doesn't cater to kids

[night vigil]

I really like that they are not holding back on creepy character designs. That's one thing I really like this time around

[deft summit]

it's target demographic isn't really tied to age, just the interest behind what it's trying to achieve

that's honestly where I think HN3 is succeeding that the previous games failed in

[celest plank]

3 yrs later we're gonna be looking at these early stage hn3 stuff and be nostalgic 😭

[deft summit]

also uh...honestly I'm surprised too

[high brook]

same with hn2 and hn1 kinda

theres some minor stuff but its not a big problem yet

[deft summit]

usually content farms would even do it to shows that are clearly NOT for kids, but because of their art style they appeal to kids anyways

[quartz canopy]

we're slowly getting there

dont worry

[near hawk]

I think the fact that HN3 isn't popular enough plays a part

[deft summit]

I mean let's not forget those kinds of channels did it to Hazben Hotel, yeah something not really for kids

[near hawk]

Then again HN2 has content farm slop

[deft summit]

HN1 and 2 don't have alot of i teither

like there is some

[high brook]

the only slop that came out of hn was mostly the VGN stuff

[celest plank]

hn3 is too creepy and undersaturated

[deft summit]

but most of the kids channels I've seen are closer to Dakblake

[celest plank]

kids wont like it

[deft summit]

never underestimate a kid's love for Hello Neighbor

[celest plank]

for the colorful kid friendly funny hello neighbor

[deft summit]

I don't think they care if it's colorful

[high brook]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-neighbor-3-hello-neighbor-dakblake-signed-neighbor-gif-1032934737728626151

[celest plank]

they do

[tall sorrel]

tell me
does the HN3 Design for Ted look like it fits in a content farm

[deft summit]

for YouTube brainrot sure but like

in general

[tall sorrel]

that's why

[deft summit]

kids do not care about bright and colorful as long as they still like the media itself

[tall sorrel]

the popular, recognizable characters in HN3 don't look fit for Content Farms

[deft summit]

I mean remember kids can like horror movies too

[eager glade]

kids dont know hn3

[tall sorrel]

so they don't put them in the content farms

[celest plank]

its quite the opposite for most young kids

[eager glade]

so it don mater

[deft summit]

are we talking like toddlers

because HN3 is absolutely something my young sister would play

[tall sorrel]

sure kids can like horror
but content farms like to lean into kid-friendly appearances

[celest plank]

well yeah toddlers and a bit above

[deft summit]

she's already shown interest and she's 8

[tall sorrel]

except for that one Sonic creepypasta godzilla thing

[high brook]

and sometimes the content has widly inappropriate stuff in it

[deft summit]

if anything

HN3 kinda shows that Hello Neighbor DOESN'T have to be bright and colorful to succeed

[celest plank]

besides i dont think the hn franchise will explode once again enough for the content farm to be a genuine problem

[deft summit]

kids don't HAVE to be fed bright and colorful stuff constantly to be engaged

[deft summit]

well I'm not just talking content farms honestly

but if I had to say something I hope content farms get obliterated off the internet

it's kinda scummy to be getting children addicted to YouTube

just for self profit

[deft summit]

also not true at all

trust me the very fact it's named Hello Neighbor means they're gonna play it still regardless if it caters to them

[high brook]

anthing on steamdb

[night vigil]

Nope

[deft summit]

(plus again there are YTers like Dakblake with a predominately young audience who played the game)

I think it's safe to say they're gonna be taking more time to work on the game

before we get a Pre-Alpha release

I mean they are wanting it to run better than Prototype 3

[night vigil]

And let's all be honest, kids also watch youtubers like 8BitRyan, who also played every version of HN3 so far

[deft summit]

the big bulk of development is likely going to be optimization

[deft summit]

yeah I really feel like this actually only PROVES that you don't have to be childish and dumb down your game for kids to be entertained

[high brook]

do yall think hozy should get a hn3 level

[night vigil]

Yeah, pretty sure that's going to be something very hard to accomplish with this one. Actual good optimization

[night vigil]

Why not?

I mean, it could be cool

[celest plank]

is there a human being thats interested in hozy

[deft summit]

I'll say from what I can see the optimizations they made from P2 to 3 seemed to do pretty well so I have faith that from P3 to PA they'll be able to get the game to run very well

[near hawk]

Definitely

[night vigil]

me lol

[eager glade]

true but i think most of them rn are interested on the mods and js not the main thing

[eager glade]

me who isnt

[near hawk]

(not me)

[celest plank]

αχι_τοπ

[deft summit]

I guess..?

but Idk from what I've seen you would be surprised in alot of things kids would watch if you ignore YouTube slop

[high brook]

i think hozy is alright but its kinda just feels like it was meant for millennials or something

[untold grotto]

(hozy has double the number of players compared to hn1)

[deft summit]

what even is hozy, I really don't keep in touch with popular games

[untold grotto]

tB's new game

[deft summit]

oohhh

[eager glade]

dang

[deft summit]

yeah that makes sense, I kinda don't know alot about the other games

[near hawk]

It's really funny how that happens yet tB's community section's still littered with "when season 3" comments

[deft summit]

I really only keep in touch with HN since it was something I liked from childhood

[eager glade]

android

sn

[near hawk]

Yeah yeah stuff like that

[celest plank]

ts is still crazy

[deft summit]

I think it would be safe to say that's TB's most popular IP

so uh...not surprised in the slightest

[eager glade]

half the ppl in this server have voted this lol

[celest plank]

well hn1 is pretty dead

and in the big 26 nobody really plays hn1

[deft summit]

you say this

[eager glade]

everyone does tbf

[celest plank]

in the grand scheme of things

[night vigil]

Didn't Alex just brag about how much HN1 is still selling

[deft summit]

but the CEO Alex literally made such a BIG deal about the player count rising

[untold grotto]

hozy has DOUBLE the number of players compared to hn1's all time peak

like

it happened just now

[night vigil]

Exactly

[untold grotto]

its happening right now

[deft summit]

that he got an entire update around it for the versions people probably would play more of (the consoles)

[eager glade]

how am i gnna play my mods without hn1

[deft summit]

and let's not forget too that when modding made the game popular they pushed a really bad collab

just because it had gotten popular

HN1 isn't the most dead thing in the world especially because if it's not people who like it

then it's people who like to laugh at it

[eager glade]

good ol laugh

[deft summit]

and let's be honest considering people still do that for Sonic 06, there are 100% people playing HN1 just to get a good laugh at it's bugginess

a game can't really die with a legacy like HN1

[deft summit]

it's crazy how most of the modding community only surrounds HN1

there's some mods for 2, and I'll even say the third may get some mods too

but the first game is going to forever have the biggest modding scene purely because they made it so easy

[eager glade]

i havent even touched a hn2 mod lol

[deft summit]

I dunnooooo I think it's a sign that HN3 should have it's project file made into a modkit-type thing

[eager glade]

idk what mod to get and wwhats good

[deft summit]

there's barely any mods

[eager glade]

hn3 is def gnna be alot of mods

[deft summit]

most of them are very basic model swaps, texture swaps

or it's the Ultimate Editor Tool and the multiplayer mod

[near hawk]

Nikita did say they want to add modkit.

[deft summit]

that's awesome

now the only game missing even a chance of getting a modkit is HN2

[near hawk]

Right here

[deft summit]

again, that's awesome

I hope they get to do it

I just feel any HN game benefits instantly with a modkit

[untold grotto]

i think they will

[deft summit]

infact a healthy modding community keeps a game alive forever

[untold grotto]

probably not in launch but probably as a post launch update

[deft summit]

case in point HN1 and Minecraft

[untold grotto]

since mod support is the thing that made hn1 popular again

[deft summit]

they'll probably do it as soon as they can

but of course time has to be put into that as well

since they can't just make it easy to pirate the game

[untold grotto]

only thing worries me about hn3 is ports

[untold grotto]

like dude why are you porting it to 13 plus year old console

[deft summit]

Switch 1..?

[untold grotto]

ps4

[deft summit]

Idk what other console they'd be porting it to

WHAT

I mean the PS4 did get alot of big games but that's still insane

[untold grotto]

PS5/4, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2

[deft summit]

well

I hope the PC version doesn't get nerfed because of the ports

cause I feel ALL of those will struggle

[frosty gyro]

ps4 cpu aint handling hn3

[civic totem]

It starts with m and ends with y

[quartz canopy]

my

[lavish ravine]

any news guys ?

[wild girder]

None that I know of

[lavish ravine]

we need to be more patient

[wild girder]

Something that I will say about how this game is approaching the lore is how I love that it's focusing on having actual in-universe clues instead of dream sequences (like the original game) or death minigames (like FNaF) it makes the world feel more alive and immersive.

[fluid portal]

I think it would be cool if there were small details that carried over depending on how many times you've played. Like vines geting longer on the side of a building. This could create lore confusion but I think it could be cool to show how much you've played since there aren't exactly indications because of the gameplay loop.

[warm crane]

will be pre-alpha today

[celest plank]

no

[warm crane]

Ok tommorow

[warm crane]

and how do you know

[rotund plaza]

It probably won't be ported to mobile/console

[thin thunder]

No, it will be ported to consoles. They said it will be, but for now, it is only PC.

[rotund plaza]

Aight

My PS4 probably hates me👀

[rustic forge]

I think its true

[limpid pewter]

Hi

[limpid pewter]

hopefully pre alpha today

[mortal crater]

i don't think that pre-alpha is coming out today

[oblique parcel]

I still think it’s something like Friday

[mortal crater]

i hope

[thin thunder]

well it ain't gon release ps4,that's for sure

[bronze steppe]

lets see if today we have something

[night vigil]

I’m also pretty sure there’s not gonna be a trailer or anything. The only reason we got a trailer last time is because it was the “final map” they wanted to show.

Plus, I’m pretty sure they wanted to have something for Halloween

[bronze steppe]

surely

now this time we will surely have just the devlog and the build

[night vigil]

Yeah, agreed

[lavish ravine]

Hi guys

[limpid pewter]

hai

[bronze steppe]

sup

[empty topaz]

i think it will be on friday or around that

[thorn flax]

https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExYjhmMjY0dmQydnVnaHRkd3RkcXlwZWh1czB0b244cHEyZTN2aDZkNSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/XLAW1tazeGUHP2Pk8q/giphy.gif

[limpid pewter]

well who knows if it will be today

[night vigil]

I mean, let’s be honest here, it probably won’t be today

[limpid pewter]

yeah

Niktia probably regrets saying the real timeframe seeing as pretty much everyone has went insane

[wicked moth]

I would guess pre alpha on Thursday or Friday, if it is still releasing this week. (As I dont think they'll release it on Easter weekend)

[harsh patio]

hey its me

[novel peak]

Why not simply give an approximate date when you're reasonably confident about it? If you later realize you need more time, you can always say, “Sorry, we need another week or month.” That’s perfectly fine. If some people react badly, that’s their problem not Nikita's or the Eerie Team’s fault.

[celest plank]

it makes no sense whatsoever for them to release it on april 1

on top of that its the middle of the week

not a good time

yall are just saying its today everyday

let them work on it

[limpid pewter]

exactly

[oblique parcel]

Imo I think it’s very likely it’s something like Friday

I think some of you just need to stop constantly saying

It’s today! Please be today

Cause your all gonna end up disappointing yourself if it’s not

My tip is to just do something else to pass the time

[novel peak]

I’m with the Guest; we stepped outside for some fresh air.

[fair oriole]

This image goes hard 🔥

[polar linden]

damn tha's peak

people pls let's calm down Nikita probably very busy with steam release, youtube devlog video and other stuff so stop alarming when he gets online and let's just wait

[novel peak]

After this one, he disappeared.... i don’t know where he went....

No jokes

I think he is coming for you Mr. grandeturisto....

[wicked moth]

Let's see if Nikita says anything about release, he's online now.

[polar linden]

he a lot of time spending online late so i don't think he will write anything

[polar linden]

thoose 2 are so cool

[lunar trail]

i love how he looks under that light tbh

[polar linden]

not many people know about it, even it's horror. even horror creepy games can't hide from ai slop - what happened with poppy playtime or bendy(?) idk what's with bendy lately

[near hawk]

HN3 isn't actually intented as horror

[polar linden]

?

i think it's clearly a horror

[near hawk]

Nikita himself said they aren't intending to make it horror

[polar linden]

oh

ok then

thx

[gleaming acorn]

none of them really are but that's not the topic of this discussion

[near hawk]

Also a pear as Mr Apple...

[near hawk]

Ikr

But i said HN3 specifically

Since that's what it was about

[gleaming acorn]

yes

hn3 is so rad

[lunar trail]

im not mr apple

im mr pear and i hate everyone

dont mind the username, i forgot i have a custom one here...

[polar linden]

ban

jk

hate is bad

love is good

[pulsar quarry]

Why should it be released this week?

[lunar trail]

iirc last week Nikita said it might release next week

[pulsar quarry]

Oh cool

[gleaming acorn]

this week was nikita's current timeframe, yes

only a timeframe though

[lavish ravine]

Happy April fools guys

[pulsar quarry]

Makes sense

[warm crane]

Hello Neighbor 3 is out now

April

[native nexus]

Fools

[wicked moth]

Please let their be some news on Pre Alpha today. 🙏

[brittle junco]

Hello neighbor 3 doesnt exists

April

[deft summit]

ok on THIS day..??

any other day would be fine but NOT this day

too many people take this day unseriously

[eager glade]

yes

it never happened

[celest plank]

i think thats a better direction

often times games that are desperately trying to scare you are corny

[spiral atlas]

I have this gut feeling something is gonna happen today but I also doubt that because it's April 1st

[cunning yacht]

pre alpha is today

[idle narwhal]

I somehow think that Pre-Alpha will be smaller than P3.
I think it will be more polished and roughly structured, which could result in it being smaller.
I mean, we've already received confirmation that features and characters will apear or re-apear later.

[thin portal]

https://klipy.com/gifs/look-at-the-time-nothing-clock

[empty shell]

im so scared if something will release its going to be a joke 😭

[near hawk]

Even profesor paradox is waiting for HN3 pre alpha

[bronze phoenix]

i would love for nikita to make a april fools

[cunning yacht]

always bet on pre alpha will relase in april fools

[nimble walrus]

I mean it did happen. In bendy april fool vid tho

[eager glade]

he meant like hello news

[nimble walrus]

Oh probably no

[civic totem]

Nothing ever happens...

[nimble walrus]

The joke is you fooled yourself thinking that there will be news today about hello neighbor 3

[night vigil]

You fools

[near hawk]

We may be fools but at least we are April's fools

[mighty orchid]

Classic neighbril fools

[stone elk]

Bet with me
1 = Thursday
2 = Friday
3 = Later

[nimble walrus]

4 = in April 32nd

[night vigil]

Agreed

[mighty orchid]

What’s the numbers for

It’s just that theres no space between the 2= like there is with 1 and 3

It’s hard to read this way

[stone elk]

Fixed

[mighty orchid]

Woah it’s different now

I’m just mostly kidding but I didn’t read it at first so my fault there

[near meadow]

around this hour on average the devlogs are shown.

So once again, its not today

See yall tommorow

[high brook]

Friday bet

[eager glade]

today guys

[near meadow]

Its not

No steam db

[eager glade]

its today shhhh

[rustic forge]

Its today

[night vigil]

yadot sti

[rustic forge]

It looks like nothing's going to happen today

[thorn flax]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-sleep-gif-8847630

NIKITA IS ||NOT|| WRITING IN ANNOUNCEMENTS

[rustic forge]

I'll ask directly, Nikita, its today?

[civic totem]

Neighbros... I don't think the Pre-Alpha is coming out this week

It's hellover

[night vigil]

[rustic forge]

This is possible today, as almoust all of Tiny Build and Eerie Guest are online

[civic totem]

That means nothing bro

They're always online

[rustic forge]

😢

[night vigil]

You know what's funny. You always assume just because everybody's online something is gonna happen. If "almost" everybody's online, that is also a sign that something could happen. And then, when nobody's online, that is ALSO weird, because that could also mean something.

[limpid pewter]

theres still thursday and friday and if you count them saturday and sunday

[civic totem]

It really does mean nothing in the end..

[night vigil]

Everything's a sign

[night vigil]

The last two days, everybody was online too, nothing happened then

[civic totem]

True

[stone elk]

Perhaps they are all just sitting at their screens laughing at the discord predicting every day as the day

[night vigil]

I honestly can't blame them

[rustic forge]

Yeah, there won't be anything today

[quartz canopy]

there is One tinybuild member that is most definetly doing this from time to time

ill let you guess who

[thin portal]

it starts with g and ends with o

[rustic forge]

he's from Egs

[bronze steppe]

yeah chat i think we should pack up for today and we will see tomorrow

[cunning yacht]

another day without pre alpha...

[rustic forge]

: (

[nocturne jacinth]

guys were closing in

[untold grotto]

egs=tB

[gentle pebble]

What

You are such a big liar

[novel peak]

[gentle pebble]

This is a HN3 chat

[rustic forge]

It's a pity that we didn't get a pre-alpha today...

[limpid pewter]

hopefully friday or thursday

[rustic forge]

tomorrow it will be the same situation, and on Friday it will be released. I think so

[night vigil]

Yeah, I'm thinking friday too

[limpid pewter]

only time will tell

[night vigil]

Exactly

[limpid pewter]

but i think some people need to learn that niktia didnt 100 percent confirm it was this week that was just the timeframe

[gentle pebble]

Is any mod online

[limpid pewter]

yeah

[gentle pebble]

I need to talk to one of them

[cunning yacht]

there's no hn3

https://tenor.com/view/incredibles-titan-incredibles-titan-incredibles-meme-the-incredibles-meme-gif-24953428

[narrow gust]

I wonder if saying pre-alpha was this week was a sort of early April fools 🤔

[rustic forge]

Definitely not

[night vigil]

Definitely yes

[bronze steppe]

nop

[hollow vector]

wait

why are ALL OF THEM ONLINE

[bronze steppe]

totally normal

like every other day

[nimble walrus]

Normal thing

[finite carbon]

I’ve got a bad feeling that the Pre-Alpha won’t release this week and we’ve all been tricked.

[rustic forge]

you just think that because you're probably sad that you've already been disappointed 3 times that the pre-alpha didn't come out

[untold grotto]

because they are working

[woven lodge]

Because it's their JOB!

66% of them are idle too.

[novel peak]

No Queen of England?....Nooooooo

[celest plank]

i can confirm that it is officially not this week

[narrow gust]

And how exactly can you confirm this?

[celest plank]

oh well i simply just talked to the entire hello neighbor 3 team

and you should just believe me

[narrow gust]

Oh ok I definitely believe you now 🙂

[bronze steppe]

Source: trust me on this one brother 🤞

[lavish ravine]

April Fools 😭

[limpid pewter]

Isn't the forest dweller meant to actually kill people in pre alpha

[gleaming acorn]

yes, it's confirmed (this is not april fool)

[limpid pewter]

👍

[chilly sundial]

@lavish ravine

[lavish ravine]

Mhm ?

[lavish ravine]

Oh no

😭

[chilly sundial]

Nooooooo

So it's not in April

[lavish ravine]

Wait

Where you get the information

I think ( just for me ) it’s a joke because if it was real nikita say smth or idk

[chilly sundial]

@lavish ravine you're right

[high brook]

my new bet for pre alpha is april 3rd

or may 27 👀

[polar linden]

nasa flies

[sand flare]

He did say it

[chilly sundial]

Guys, anything about the pre-alpha?

[undone citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/good-morning-love-gif-23111407

[lavish ravine]

Where

[novel peak]

Maybe tomorrow pal.

Nikita didn't say anything since last week.

[chilly sundial]

@novel peak thanks Bro

I hope the neighbor and the player are there, Nicky and Quentin and Isaac and the 25 NPCs@novel peak

[nocturne jacinth]

[chilly sundial]

I think there will be a live video game event on April 9th from the TinyBuild channel, similar to the Showcase 2025. It seems they'll premiere a trailer or devlog on Thursday, April 9th.

[untold grotto]

forest dweller being a killer was always a thing

[night vigil]

Another day, another waiting campaign

[rustic forge]

What do you guys think, pre-aflia today?

[limpid pewter]

possibly but its starting to look like it will be friday

[meager walrus]

ik were just going into pre alpha but like

imagine alpha 3 of hn3 is just as dark as hn1s alpha 3 lmao

[bronze steppe]

well chat lets see if today we get lucky and finally get our hands into pre alpha

[limpid pewter]

Yeah

[stone elk]

Even tho i dont think hn3 lookinh compleaty diffrent was not for marketing i think it will make hn3 more popular then if it used a simular artstyle to hn2 cus seeing the new neigbor will get anyone who hates hn franchise curius

[low gate]

I think its just gonna be nikitas final form

you can defintely see the evolution of his style in the 3Dness

[warm crane]

When is hello neighbor 3 pre-alpha

[empty shell]

i swear i saw a notification of nikita saying that pre alpha is releasing on april 3 but i cant find the message anywhere. was it a joke?? 😭😭

[wicked moth]

Look, I truly love HN3, and all the devs are amazing for making it, but I would prefer a bit more clarity of when its releasing. Why can't they just say if it's still coming out this week or not?

[empty shell]

or maybe my friend trolled me

[low gate]

Its to prevent false promises i think

anything they cant 100% confirm is going to happen i think they do everything to avoid

[severe merlin]

I don't share exact dates, because we don't know them. We have certain dates in mind always, but things not always happens as we expect.
Pre-Alpha and devlog are already finished, now we in a process of coordinating people to make release of all of this happen. But these people have other projects besides HN, so it requires some time.
Due to workload, I feel like we might not make it this week after all. ||(this is the exact reason I don't share dates, to avoid false hopes)||

[buoyant torrent]

Hey Nikita what do you think what happened in yesterday?

[severe merlin]

Not sure I understand your question. Try different phrasing, please

[thin portal]

I think he refers to this:

[empty shell]

So is there at least a little bit of a chance Pre Alpha will release next week?

[severe merlin]

Oh, this was awesome. Really liked their idea!

[trim trout]

Hello

[lavish ravine]

If you had to describe what we will see in one sentence, what would that sentence be?

[trim trout]

Ya

[violet vessel]

👀

[crystal hare]

So, now you're working on the alpha?

sry forgot to disable ping 🥹

[queen sapphire]

I don't know if you saw my question but is the pre-alpha going to be a big step in development like the prototypes were?

[mellow garden]

nikita,will we get more pictures from pre - alpha or from devlog?

[wild girder]

I feel like the answer to this is obvious but are the steam images gonna be updated alongside the release of the pre-alpha?

[deft summit]

that's crazy that this even has to be said after Jacky already basically told everyone to calm down a few days ago

[limpid pewter]

well atleast we know devlog and pre alpha are finished

[trim trout]

Ya that’s good to hear

[cunning yacht]

we wait nikita.

[celest plank]

bro this sounds like a threat 😭😭

[cunning yacht]

no no no

№№№

its not threat

[celest plank]

anyway i dont think ive ever seen people so desparate for a hn3 update

guys weve been so patient with prototype 3

[limpid pewter]

and i dont really get that because pre alpha well atleast from my knowledge just a more polished prototype 3 with new locations and new features and maybe theo as npc

[eager glade]

Please take all of your time no hurry❤️

[celest plank]

yeah so far theres nothing new in pre alpha that i know of

except for like the neighbor maybe

being there

[civic totem]

There is bro

New locations

[celest plank]

well they dont serve much of a purpose other than containing items probably

its not much

[safe raft]

Just imagine if the neighbor kills you in HN3 like the Guest that would be cool

[civic totem]

Finished models
An actual main character
New mechanics
Map changes
Improved game design

[civic totem]

It's not a lot, but it's not "nothing"

[celest plank]

yeah well im saying prototype 3 was a massive step up from prototype 2

its not that big witrh pre alpha

[celest ravine]

What size will the pre-alpha map be compared to p3?

[civic totem]

Well, that's true
But I think it's better for the game to not change much during development so we don't get another HN2 situatioj

Situation*

[celest plank]

yeah

pre alpha is like

too anticipated for some reason

[dry gate]

Hi :D

[celest plank]

hi

[dry gate]

I don't mind that the Pre-Alpha won't be released this week but I'm looking forward to seeing what the Pre-Alpha has to offer

[limpid pewter]

also explains why the wait feels alot shorter compared to other builds

[untold grotto]

the only "wait" was for prototype 3

[novel peak]

Can we get news from the Pre-Alpha Mr. Nikita?

[limpid pewter]

i swear someone said that when the storm comes in pre alpha it wont trigger a ending but idk if thats true

[novel peak]

i need a mode with infinite time

with god mode

and TNT, lots of TnT

[untold grotto]

it will trigger, just not really an game "ending"

that will end session and start the new session

[limpid pewter]

👍

[grave drum]

please send me access to Hello Neighbor 3

[pale sparrow]

The pre-alpha development was shorter then P3, I hope this version is not just a more advanced version of P3.

[limpid pewter]

well it kinda is

well atleast from all the info we know about it

[pale sparrow]

i think too.

[untold grotto]

it is very similar to and very different from prototype 3

it has a whole new storyline, refined gameplay loop

but with less content

[limpid pewter]

i feel like it will come out next friday

if all goes well

[untold grotto]

and remember that prototype 3 was a "bad example" of what they wanted for hn3

in gameplay wise

[pale sparrow]

I hope the map won't be almost the same, but most likely it will be.

[limpid pewter]

theres a post office and a church in pre alpha

[pale sparrow]

When you say very different, you mean the content.

[untold grotto]

its different in gameplay wise

[night vigil]

The gameplay will be much different tho. The whole loop thing is actually a part of the game now, instead of a “game over”

[untold grotto]

that was not really game over in prototype 3 though
but most people thought so

[pale sparrow]

The gameplay will not be as simple as before, and as far as I know, there will be a Goal system.

[untold grotto]

it was not simple

[night vigil]

Nahhhh it was a game over. It wasn’t supposed to be, but it still was. You literally have to do everything all over again. And sure, now you as the player know more. That doesn’t change the fact that there’s one goal, and if the loop resets you have to do it ALL over again.

[pale sparrow]

Yeah, but we didn't have a player character.

[severe merlin]

I feel it will be fair if we post something interesting, since there’s no pre-Alpha this week.

Here’s one more piece of the protagonist.

[near hawk]

Looking good

[frosty gyro]

cool design!

[rare spear]

wow its very good!

[untold grotto]

is that an id card

[near hawk]

Looks like a golden apple

[brave thunder]

golden apple?

[empty shell]

Oooo

[gentle pebble]

Another character with a watch

[near hawk]

So our character works for them now?

[untold grotto]

the player working at golden apple hmm

[brave thunder]

pure guess :
she might be Quentin's workmate

[untold grotto]

if there weren't 30 years between them

and quentin is not working for GA

[eager glade]

pretty cool is that a skirt?

[deft summit]

epic

[eager glade]

hmmm

[brave thunder]

oh mb, idk about that

[eager glade]

could be smth about his story

[untold grotto]

so the player is someone works at Golden Apple, and they are a newcomer

[eager glade]

like needing a job

[untold grotto]

for me its her, but since theres no confirmation its best to say they/them

[eager glade]

maybe his most suggested job is in a golden apple amusement park in raven brooks cuz no one likes us in the protagonists old town

[untold grotto]

probably not the amusement park

[near hawk]

They have a skirt it seems

[eager glade]

i js say its him by accident cuz like almost all protagonists are guys

this one couldd be female

[untold grotto]

it fits with GA being an outsider company that making investments on RB

[civic totem]

Hmmm

[untold grotto]

they are probably something like company representative

(the player)

[eager glade]

hmm wasnt there another amusement park outside of raven brooks i dont think it has smth to do wwith golden apples

like in some graphic novel

[untold grotto]

like they came to town to decide about the company's future in town

see how is the life going after storm (?) that made town half-abandoned

[sonic birch]

he got a card with a duck on it

[eager glade]

yeah maybe

[untold grotto]

we know that GA has largely withdrawn from the town even if not completely

[untold grotto]

since they are still paying janusz

[polar linden]

PLS SOMEONE TRY TO COMBINE THIS AND PREVIOUS PIECE OF PROTAGONIST

[unborn fox]

Can you give us a fun fact about them?

[unborn fox]

Oh this is so good

[polar linden]

damn i love when new character is being teased in pieces

like it was with the neighbor

[unborn fox]

Just like the neighbor was

[near hawk]

Alright looks pretty good

[polar linden]

so we know that on the left hand she's having a watch, and on other hand is black and yellow braclets

[near hawk]

I'm so excited to see their full design

[polar linden]

did wrote braclets correctly? sorrry idk

[polar linden]

me too

[limpid pewter]

Same

[polar linden]

it lloks like we came to reven brooks to have a work at golden apple or smth

[untold grotto]

GA is outsider

not in raven brooks

[polar linden]

that golden apple badge is very interesting, cuz Nikita said we are new in town

[polar linden]

that's waht im sayung - that badge is very confusing

[untold grotto]

golden apple is outsider company

[polar linden]

maybe

[untold grotto]

they are investing in Raven Brooks

[polar linden]

I GOT IT GUYS

PLS LISTEN

AFTER ARRIVING OF THE GUEST,

AND TRAGEDY AT GOLDEN APPLE (LUCY)

AND IT'S LATER CLOSING

WE ARE WORKER OF OTHER GOLDEN APPLE PARK/ OR MANAGER OR SMTH

[eager glade]

[polar linden]

WE HAVE BEEN SENT TO RAVEN BROOKS TO INTEROGATE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THEIR GOLDE APPLE PARK
