[hidden skiff]

Would you say they should remove the game overs? I actually liked it when you could just leave the guest's location by just doing basic parkour

[desert bear]

i liked the guest dragging you to his place

[flat peak]

literally the only thing I am complaining about is the main goal progression

and AI being frustraiting at times but it's not even the guest

[hidden skiff]

I get it, I guess you do got a point.

[hidden skiff]

I feel like they have the same weight

The form asks what was the most memorable moment

but every npc kinda feels same-ish

[desert bear]

the bakery genuinely exploding

[flat peak]

I literally didn''t get to see that

[hidden skiff]

damn what, I think i missed that

[desert bear]

how did you miss that

[hidden skiff]

I was probably somewhere else

[flat peak]

at one point I was literally just doing anything but staying in the begining area

so thats it

[hidden skiff]

true

[desert bear]

oh lol

[hidden skiff]

I barely stayed in the lobby

[desert bear]

bro i was genuinely so confused

like what

[hidden skiff]

I just use it for crowbar and stuff

[desert bear]

fair

[hidden skiff]

so the green guy goes homeless? lol

[desert bear]

or dead

[gentle carbon]

He always died for me

[desert bear]

yeah hes never coming back

[rose hound]

the guest kills u if you get caught bro

[hidden skiff]

oh wait npcs can actually die? I thought they were just knocked out or somt

besides guest stuff

[desert bear]

i think its just like knocked out forever

[rose hound]

i keep losing my location progress to him

[gentle carbon]

they never seemed to wake up

[rose hound]

is that a bug or intentional

[gentle carbon]

he kills you

but you are supposed to have a chance to break free I thought

[hidden skiff]

Lol now I remember an actual memorable moment. Me and the guys on call just find jacob lying on the ground, we take it into the hotel and laugh because e is awake and stuff, we even gave him a banana

and his ragdoll kept staring at the banana he was holding

also paralyzed jokes

[gentle carbon]

dont think you can use the camera on the guest while he has you grabbed

would make the thing really useful

[hidden skiff]

Oh yeah btw, can you still sacrifice npcs to the guest?
My main way to deal with vandals is by knocking them out and kinda just give them to the guest

[high brook]

tbh i dont know why i still have p3 saved

its NOT a good build im crine

[bronze phoenix]

the game is like 40% trying to find crowbars tbh

like i get breaking stuff is a core part

[rotund plaza]

Uhhhh

[bronze phoenix]

but its kinda get pretty bad once u keep having to get crowbars

[rotund plaza]

At least P3 is better than HN1 garbage

[high brook]

yea i guess

pre alpha is still my favorite so far besides p2

[bronze phoenix]

yo Bub did u play pre alpha

[high brook]

what kind of question is that?

of course i did

[rotund plaza]

Everyone did

[bronze phoenix]

any things u like or dislike about it?

[bronze phoenix]

i played only like 40 mins of it

i dident finish the game

[rotund plaza]

I really like it

[bronze phoenix]

The ONLY thing i dont like so far is the crowbar scavanging

its so annoying with npcs who will beat u up after stepping 2 feet from them

but jacob is chill tbh

he dosent attack the player as much for some reason

[hidden skiff]

I think they nerfed saws they barely do much </3

what is the saw's speciality, like how crowbards break boards

[bronze phoenix]

i would make the door 7 crowbar hits

anyways the game is really good

i will try

to beat it without looking at yt

Yo nikita is typing

less goo

[rotund plaza]

HN3 pre-alpha is really hilarious 👀

[severe merlin]

Crowbars are extremely effective agains boards on doors and windows. Generally there is always multiple alternatives ways to get somewhere which is even faster. 🙂

[bronze phoenix]

yo nikita i have a feedback, why not in the future add saves where every time u lose u restart the day

not that so the objectives save all sessions

[bronze phoenix]

ik but doors have so much hp 0_0

also im braindead so i just dont wanna use my mind

alr im gonna play the game

so far :0

[fallen meadow]

the game is so good i finished

[fallen meadow]

in hotel have 2 crowbars

[arctic jolt]

Is hello neighbor 3 the first official hello neighbor game to be developed in unreal engine 5?

[potent flax]

guys

gettng hn3 pre aplha now

pretty hyped

[trim trout]

I think not

[sleek moat]

yes it is

[trim trout]

wait I think yes

yes it is

[sleek moat]

hn2 is made in 4.27

[potent flax]

sad that the mr petersons house got destroyed

[trim trout]

ya

[potent flax]

sad 🙁

[sleek moat]

and hn1 is before ue5 existed

[potent flax]

yes

good old days

[sleek moat]

i posted the neighbor on sketchfab https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/hello-neighbor-3-neighbor-full-game-c91b987c9271433a91c8a1f6f4aa8eba

[alpine condor]

Is there a time limit to beating the playtest or no

Hopefully not

[orchid gazelle]

i dont think so

[loud karma]

im glad crowbars do specifically this now

[fallen meadow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E31qARpzPkA a video of me beating the game

[quick crow]

When a day cycle is complete is it a gameover immediately?

[loud karma]

no

[quick crow]

Ive been restarting the day everytime I think its about to finish bc I thought it would be a gameover HELP

[unborn seal]

from what i've played, the game restarts exactly at 12 the following day. you get a surprising amount of time!

[topaz garnet]

Found some floating papers in the addict of the motel

[strong narwhal]

I added them to my Tomodachi life island

[desert bear]

i just managed to get into the ||weather station and OH MY GOD THIS IS SO PEAK nikita ur the goat holy||

i love hello neighbor

[twilit ravine]

They removed all the cutscenes and you start off inside of the town in the pre alpha

[weak night]

yeah, thats one of the things i don't like about the pre-alpha

[fallen meadow]

yeah but the game is peak

[twilit ravine]

Ofc

[desert bear]

i just dont really like the fall damage as of right now and the guest ai is a little frustrating, hope they remove the game overs

and the games a little linear but its okay for a prealpha

[twilit ravine]

Maybe hn3's builds will be

1. Prototype 1
2. Prototype 2
3. Prototype 3
4. Pre Alpha
5. Alpha 1
6. Alpha 2
7. Beta
8. Full release

[potent flax]

hey guys

i invited my streamer cousin

to play hello neighbor 3 pre aplha

[twilit ravine]

U invited ur cousin to play ur game??

[potent flax]

uuuuuhhhh

yeah

he live stream overwatch

[hardy vine]

I think my biggest gripe with hello neighbor 3 right now, is it feels like there is absolutely no coherence with one and two right now. Like, the town doesn't look similar to two, Mr Peterson somehow grew a lot taller despite being a lot older (?) And I mean I don't know. I really like the general gameplay, but I really hope that this actually fully connects with the first two games. I wanted to feel like a true trilogy.

[potent flax]

so i want him to try hello neighbor 3 pre aplha

and the only thing that has not been fix in the pre aplha is the item holding animations like when you holding a item in your first person perspective you only see your body and ur arms down not holding the item even you are holding it

thats what they need to fix

[dusky coral]

How do I try the pre-alpha?

[desert bear]

i actually kinda like that

[fallen meadow]

in steam page

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2789680/Hello_Neighbor_3/

Steam

Hello Neighbor 3

Features:

• Living town residents - Each character is simulated in real-time, independently of the player. Citizens try to reach their own goals even if the player is not around.
• …

Release Date

To be announced

[dusky coral]

And then click 'Playtest'?

[fallen meadow]

yes

[dusky coral]

Okie dokie

[desert bear]

i really do think hn3 should add vaulting

especially since it really wants the player to find other ways into buildings or rooms

since crowbars are less durable and powerful

[fallen meadow]

yeah

[woven lodge]

Hello Neighbor 2 gave us something we can no longer live without.

[gentle carbon]

I doubt HN2 will matter much to the direct story, Nikita doesn't even know who the guest in that game is

[desert bear]

it really was great

i miss the climbing

[floral creek]

does anyone knows how to get the free cam on pre-alpha?

[sturdy mirage]

When does it come
To console?

[grim lark]

1. The town of two doesnt look much like 1 either
2. Surreal Artstyle
3. It takes place YEARS after the previous two, whereas the other games were rather closely connected. Thats fine for me tbh

[desert bear]

i think the hn3 art style has been my favorite so far

[little onyx]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/737876701702258721/1494894180407709706/caption.gif

here is my alpha 1 prediction

we will see if i'm right.

[hardy vine]

1000% agreed

[hardy vine]

Hn3 should at least tell us who the person who knocked us out in the end was.

[oblique parcel]

We basically know it was the cult

[low gate]

im still tryna get past the guest in amusment park but i dont wanna keep doing this over and over again

[hardy vine]

Fair, but you also got to remember, hello neighbor 1 was just about the house, and hello neighbor 2 was about the town. So that gives hello neighbor 2 an actual need to look different from hello neighbor 1. So even though three takes place many years after the first two games, that shouldn't give it a reason as to why everything is now on like a giant hill and it just so happens that everything except Mr Peterson's house changed.

So I mean I don't know, I'm conflicted. I really like the game as it is right now, and the new town layout, although it's confusing, isn't bad in itself. I just really want that continuity, that's all.

[silver ermine]

i dont really like it tbh

[hardy vine]

For sure, but like, WHO, maybe it was the guest unmasked? Just a clear cut answer would be nice.

[oblique parcel]

Well Nikita has Said he doesnt even know hn2 story so i don’t Think hn3 Will line up all to well with hn2

[silver ermine]

the neighbor in hn3 is buggy

they should went the artstyle with hn1 and hn2 simllar to them they were better

[hardy vine]

Agreed

[oblique parcel]

They were good for Their games but hn3 is its own Thing

So i don’t mind the new artstyle

[dense fractal]

the full game will probably utilize the artstyle very wel

[silver ermine]

they really need to change the neighbor

design

[oblique parcel]

They wont and Shouldn’t

[hardy vine]

I dont think the new one is bad, if they are changing EVERYTHING and making it basically a completely separate thing from the first two, then I guess its fine. But the style of the first and second games are definitely better.

[silver ermine]

why

[oblique parcel]

This is the final design

And its great imo

[hardy vine]

I somewhat agree. The old neighbor wouldn't fit perfectly with the new art style, but i dont really like the new design. Somewhere in between would be nice.

[silver ermine]

the game wont really focous

on neighbor

[dense fractal]

the new design shows how much hes aged but unless you've played other hello neighbour games alot before, you cant really tell hn1 / hn2 neighbour and hn3 neighbor are the same character, personally i love the design

[silver ermine]

remake hn1

hn3 will prob be the last we will ever see the neighbor

[modest canopy]

I liked the game. It's kind of cool. Probably the only problems that concern only me are as follows - I love learning the game, I like to explore every corner. In Residence Evil, I completely clear the map on the first playthrough, because I like to study xd.
But in HN 3, time is limited, because of this I have to replay again and again. Which is not bad, it's just this type of gameplay.
But for me, it later turned into a routine In general.
And by the way, it's a bit of a shame, because there is really something to study there. There are a lot of interesting things there. The map is not blank and it's very cool🤩

I still don't understand the art style, it began to move towards something more realistic. Which may not be bad, but it seems that the game's personality has been lost due to the fact that the assets are now realistic. For me, it doesn't feel like "hello neighbor art style"

I also have a problem with the way the player moves. The feeling of the player's movement feels uncomfortable for me
well, that is.. movement feels very simple. And I want something more interesting. like rocking when walking, or something like that. And so far the feeling of a flying camera. But this is pre alpha and I think this will change :p

Well, it seems to me that the environment has become more even, I did not have problems with motion sickness this time. Maybe I'm just used to it. But this is really pleasing.

But in general, the game left a positive impression. The game worked well for me On
Windows 10 RTX3050ti 4GB 16RAM i7-118000 At high settings, Full HD at 60 FPS was quite stable. I'm not sure if lumens turned on, though. Because at launch, the game asked to update the graphics card drivers for DRX12. But they are downloaded. I'm not sure if I really had high settings regarding lumens.

[compact nexus]

Ngl one thing I love about this is the posters hinting at food making you faster

Last I played was proto2 but still, that detail is really cute

[compact nexus]

I do like your perspective on this game. I believe with the artstyle they're trying something new, they're trying to revolutionize what hello neighbor is.

This part is made by the original creator of the prototypes (iirc), I believe he has a proper vision of what the game was supposed to be and I really see it. The artstyle is just so cozy, it's like looking outside a window during fall while wrapped up in a blanket and at the same time feeling like someone is watching you with malicious intent...

P.S. I'm sort of an explorer too, lol, I sometimes completely avoided the main path when I played the last of us 1 and 2 just to get a cool little collectible. Somehow I still don't have all of them

[compact nexus]

True, they need to retcon some things and work with a new, less confusing story. I wonder how they'll handle hn3's lore...

[modest canopy]

Yes, everything feels really cozy. but allegedly... Globally, nothing would change if the textures were more stylized. and not semi-realistic. But maybe this problem is that it is simply not finished yet. At least you can see the direction from some assets. Or maybe they are still experimenting. But it is interesting to find out what will happen next. In general,
I have already concluded for myself that I will buy this game

[inner moth]

so um

in my opinion the pre alpha is BAD

but like REALLY BAD

[brave thunder]

i enjoyed it more than protoypes

[restive oxide]

i love it 🧅

[brave thunder]

the only thing i don't like is fps dependent mouse input

[compact nexus]

Personally, I like the realism. It makes everything uncanny by blending stylized with realistic and it works really well

[brave thunder]

it just makes turning really slow if you have high fps and make you spin if you have low fps

[loud canyon]

The art style being the way it is, is due to it being a metaphor to how corporate greed ruins the environment

[dim prawn]

at least its more optimized though, prototype 3 ran at like 15-20 fps for me, while the pre-alpha runs at around 35-45 fps, which is way better for sure

[brave thunder]

yea

[dim prawn]

hopefully they improve it more in alpha 1

[loud canyon]

the game heavily focuses on Golden Apple corporation, and how the destructive said company has been towards the town, which will explain why the art style is so depressing, its a metaphorical aspect

[crude temple]

gg

[brave thunder]

also FD do see neighbor as monster while neighbor sees him as friend

but probably for gameplay purpose instead of lore reason since monster is like never attack this character

[modest canopy]

Well, I didn't mean the general mood of the game, the fact that everything is abandoned, and so on. And the fact that the assets themselves have a realistic style. not cartoonish. like, you talk more about design

[untold grotto]

no not really

"friend" is never attack

[brave thunder]

monster is never attack and never gain relation

[untold grotto]

the other npcs sees FD as monster aint they

[brave thunder]

i think, i'll have a look later

[untold grotto]

as we can see in prototype 3, even if FD is enemy with other npcs he doesnt attack if they think he is their "friend"

[unkempt sable]

pre alpha is out

[gusty elbow]

just played about 30 ish minutes of the alpha, a little jank at times but wow does it feel really special, I really like this game

genuinely really cool

I adore how the game gave me this sense of being somewhere you're not supposed to cause it really stressed me out honestly

[acoustic tendon]

guys i finally beat the pre-alpha from start to finish

i SUFFERED but i did it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1360395696779563138/1431632785218732192/ImsohungryIcouldeatacatanorangecat.gif

[low gate]

i got jacob to fix the lights for me

this game is peak

[gusty elbow]

How long was ur playthrough?

[acoustic tendon]

3 hours and a half

[gusty elbow]

Ah

[acoustic tendon]

https://giphy.com/gifs/bEs40jYsdQjmM

[gusty elbow]

I’ve only played for like 30ish minutes

[low gate]

ive been playing since it released

40 minute nap

ill not stop till alpha 1

[gusty elbow]

I just found out about it like an hour ago lol

[acoustic tendon]

the best thing i've done in the game yet was sacrifice everyone to the crow (atleast thats what i call it)

i gave a bunch of nicknames to all the characters lol

[lusty dove]

pre alpha does not work for me

it crashes

[gusty elbow]

Rip

[acoustic tendon]

weird
probably too heavy for ur computerr

[gusty elbow]

I’m guessing ur trying to paste a crash log?

[lusty dove]

it should not

my pc isn't bad and it has space

[acoustic tendon]

ya should try to discuss that with one of the devs

whenever they're active

they do talk here sumtimes

[gusty elbow]

Huh, I don’t think I’ve seen a crash log like that

Tho idk I haven’t seen a ue crash log in a while

[lusty dove]

thanks anyway guys

[gusty elbow]

Was there anything else in the crash log or just that?

[acoustic tendon]

i really didnt know you could be friendly with the characters
if i knew that i wouldn't have thrown the grandma off the bridge to the crow 😭

[lusty dove]

I did not send the first lines

[brave thunder]

delete your uet

[near meadow]

I think the pre alpha focused on the story progression aspect first

I think the alphas are going to do that. Each build will focus on a different aspect of the game they chose and then build it all together in beta

I need alpha one to focus on the npc interactions now because MAN thats severely downgraded

I like how these small events happen though in pre alpha but theres not enough npcs….

[near hawk]

I think there is enough npcs but they feel too lackluster

Like Janusz basically only cries

[civic patio]

Is it okay if I send screenshots of old builds of hn3 since the game is free for the time being?

[near hawk]

None of them really interact with each other that much other than Signed hating on Jacob

[near hawk]

I theenk

[civic patio]

old Iris is so silly .w.

[shell oyster]

goofy goober

[civic patio]

she's so gloomy 😭

[pseudo quarry]

where is russian chat

[loud canyon]

The visuals of this build are top notch (Pre alpha spoiler)

[bronze steppe]

P2 what a classic ngl

[civic patio]

p2 is my favorite build so far

pre alpha coming at second

[bronze steppe]

A very fun build to play ngl

[pseudo quarry]

where is wishlist for HN3?

[last lotus]

Is Mr Peterson in the game?

I was looking around and couldn't find him

[brave thunder]

yes

[last lotus]

Yooo, guess I gotta look around more, the map seems huge lol

[near hawk]

||yes in the mayak weather station||

[warm crane]

[last lotus]

Thank God, I hated being blue balled in the HN2 alphas having the neighbor just be teased

[shell oyster]

and to fair his ai is kinda barebones for now obviously

[last lotus]

How do I get the bird man to go away, I'm trying to get to the amusement park and he keeps catching me

[lunar trail]

use your flashlight

[plush plank]

Why do I feel like hn3 is going to be an open world game

Plus horror game

[loud canyon]

It won't be horror

Only eerie and unhomely

[plush plank]

So like

The prototype of the first game

Bcuz it was very eerie

[loud canyon]

While it's true Hello Neighbor 3 IS spooky, they're not doing for a horror approach, as the horror genre is very limiting for a game like Hello Neighbor

[plush plank]

Ok

Then what kind of approach?

Like it's going to be an open world,eerie, and sneak game?

[loud canyon]

They're going for an eerie and uncanny vibe for the game

[plush plank]

The characters do fit that approach

They look pretty uncanny

And creepy

Including the nebor

[loud canyon]

It will be an open world sandbox where every choice you make is the right one, with emphasis on stealth and exploration and playing the way you feel, as there is not one way to play or beat it, in a butterfly effect gameplay loop where everything you do causes little things to become big things

[plush plank]

Very tuff

The comeback of HN is generational

[gentle carbon]

eerie and cozy if I remember correctly

[plush plank]

Ohh

[loud canyon]

To be fair this happened with Bendy back in late 2022 or so when Bendy and The Dark Revival came out, Bendy wasn't really liked all that much and then Dark Revival brought people back and formed a proper fandom again

[plush plank]

Hello neighbor was literally forgotten

Somehow it broke through it's coffin

Prob cuz of the fredbear mod

[loud canyon]

Can't keep The Neighbor down

[plush plank]

The neighbor always stays alive

[lunar trail]

just because it dropped from the public eye doesnt mean it was forgotten

There was still a substantial community here

[plush plank]

But like no one was taking about it

[plush plank]

Yea

[loud canyon]

There was still a few YouTubers playing Hello Neighbor

Like dakblake

[plush plank]

When ppl did talk about it they just criticized it

[loud canyon]

Kindly Keyin sometimes

8Bit Ryan

[plush plank]

Ack gaming and timtim are goated

[loud canyon]

Etc

[plush plank]

Overall I hope hn3 is actually good

It seems the devs learned from their mistakes in the past

[celest plank]

is it just me

i just dont like this effect thing man

and its not motion blur

[rotund plaza]

It's called a Bloom

Mostly common in some game

[rotund plaza]

Blue ball?
Is that a FNF reference

[celest plank]

dont think thats it

its like moving or something

either way it rly doesnt look good and so far ive only seen this in hn3 builds

[rotund plaza]

Then it has to be a motion blur.

[celest plank]

motion blur is off

[rotund plaza]

Well, ask Nikita.

[low gate]

How are you looking at this i wanna see evil code

[celest plank]

ok bro the trees are absolutely dumpted on the map theres too much

[brave thunder]

it's just data asset

not actual code

[low gate]

Yeah doesnt matter i wanna see it

[brave thunder]

get fmodel

add the game file

use the mapping somewhere in this channel

[lunar trail]

YES oh my god

that effect effectively killed my eyes when playing Prototype 3

[celest plank]

its been there forever

since prototype 1 i believe

that effect is literally just so bad

[lunar trail]

it was so worse in P3

[celest plank]

its much more visible in places with a lot of trees

[lunar trail]

yea

[celest plank]

i think it stacks or sth and its killing my pc

its either those or the trees themselves

[brave thunder]

it's ue5's rendering i think

for saving performance or sth

[celest plank]

i dont think thats the reason for it

[brave thunder]

true, turning off post processing kinda disables it

or maybe it's caused by aa

[celest plank]

other ppl had that "issue" too with their games

theres a way to disable it from what i know

[brave thunder]

disable aa

and psot processing

and see if it fixes it

[celest plank]

thats the settings i was on tho

[brave thunder]

idk since for me it never happened

[celest plank]

anti aliasing on higher setting does change it tho so all i can do is keep it at low

[sterile sphinx]

ngl im trying to figure out

where is the weather station

cus im kinda lost

the map doesnt say where it is

also why does the guest clip me under the map

when he catches me

[rough fulcrum]

holy aura farm

[lyric quartz]

hn3 releases?

[polar river]

Pre alpha backrooms

I also found this building, nothing interesting

Tbh place under map not interesting, most of the floor are just textures without collision. Also, in some areas guest still tried to catch me (dumb bird)

[trim trout]

Bro prealpha came out perfect

Timing bc today is my b day and yesterday was the pre alpha release

[polar river]

I was just thinking, it would be funny if during a storm my OC died because he was struck by lightning (because of a tinfoil hat)

[polar river]

It's a 50% chance

[quartz canopy]

no

its just about as popular as it has been for a while

obviously its racking up bits of attention because of a new mainline sequel

and the bs about the game selling more is because of the drastic discounts

people interested in the fredbear mod arent interested in anything else regarding hn

[crude ravine]

I said pre alpha is sucks but i changed my mind. This is awesome

[gentle carbon]

The Fredbear clips themselves definitely got popular, proly got some people to play the mod I guess

[silk blade]

I don't understand where the hell is the last paper or the "unauthorized structure" of the gas station 😤

[quartz canopy]

i found it but forgot

pretty sure i got the ending within 1 hour

[silk blade]

Could you maybe hint to me where is that "unauthorized structure"?

[tawny geode]

It's really weird that it is called an "unauthorised structure"

[gentle carbon]

yeah idk what that is about

[tawny geode]

so basically

if you go into the gas station

through the workshop part

where Jacob's car is

[silk blade]

Uhuh

[tawny geode]

there's a door straight ahead

and to your left once going through there, there is a red locked door

like the red gates I mean

[gentle carbon]

there are like levers to open stuff around I think

[tawny geode]

yeah I can't be bothered with those so I just smash stuff with the sledgehammer lmao

[silk blade]

Ohh
Okay, I'll check that door

[silk blade]

These levers doesn't work after the gates close 😤

For me

At least

[tawny geode]

I'unno how any of that stuff works, so I'd rather smashing them

[gentle carbon]

I just see a switch and flip it and they all open at some point

[tawny geode]

the only switches I find are entire power switches or light switches 😭

[gentle carbon]

they are usually hidden pretty well

[tawny geode]

I turned off the power at the weather machine house and lost the generator for like 6 minutes and almost died to the guest before finding it and then finding the file

[polar river]

It's in his basement

Left door in garage

Walk around and you'll find it

[silk blade]

Oh wait
I've been there already
There is also a closed up bedroom
I've been in there too
But where to go after?
There is no paper from that Nova guy or whoever

[gentle carbon]

Note is in the top floor right

[civic patio]

is there a way to fix nothing showing up in objectives after beating the game?

[silk blade]

Oh wait
Is it on the desk? fuc

I guess I didnt see it

[gentle carbon]

lol

[civic patio]

please I just wanna replay it 😭

[gentle carbon]

do you not remember?

[civic patio]

?

I wanna go through the other things

cause I only read one of the notes

[gentle carbon]

oh lol

[gentle carbon]

Uninstall and reinstall?

[civic patio]

I made Janusz happy ig

[tawny geode]

you can delete your save file

obviously just substitute "Josh" for your user

[civic patio]

how

ah

irritating but alright

[silk blade]

Okay, I finnaly got that note.
Now I gotta find some 🍦 boot

[civic patio]

since it'll get rid of my completed objectives but lets see if this works

[ornate sedge]

I just finished the main ending, are there any others in the game?

[untold grotto]

no

[raven pilot]

Why did the bakery just explode lol??????

[untold grotto]

lol

automod just blocked me for saying what it is

[raven pilot]

Huh

[untold grotto]

he killed himself

according to files

[raven pilot]

Dang, i was going to ask if it is that deep that automod blocked it BUT IT REALLY IS

[sand flare]

guys i think alpha 1 might be today. just a theory

||/jk
||

[silk agate]

someone crashed into it with a car

[fallen meadow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJjCXBqFzDg my fastest gameplay

[deft summit]

oh

wth happened for him to do that

[untold grotto]

his wife is dead

[deft summit]

oh

ooooohh

[brave thunder]

and the market he was working in was closed by bob?

[deft summit]

yeah this game's gonna be grim

[untold grotto]

||if you give the cookbook that omilia wrote he wiil not kill hiimself||

||and he will go to the her grave||

[deft summit]

I see

[brave thunder]

and if you're lucky he'll float in the air and cry

[deft summit]

I hope stuff like that will stay in the full game

I think this game needs more grim stuff like that

[brave thunder]

Jacob dies to a car crash while driving to the cinema

[deft summit]

I mean it's dark but like

compared to what was just said

[brave thunder]

yea true

i hope there'll be similar thing for iris and Isaac

[untold grotto]

isaac already has

he is being sacrifaced to a fake god

[brave thunder]

but it's not in pa

[deft summit]

HN3 having a bunch of just dark and grim stuff happening will really help show how bad this town has gotten

[brave thunder]

this happens almost the same time baker blows himself up

[deft summit]

I'm pretty confident that it's gonna come back

I think they're just downscaling the endings a bit so they can focus on making the character stories more polished and developed

[untold grotto]

yeah when isaacs story is not implemented and vandals seems like purposeless

and its "isaac"

the person to be sacrificed

[deft summit]

I mean the entire ending

I'm sure it's gonna come back since this version seems to be trying to develop the towns folk more

[brave thunder]

and the core story

[deft summit]

the devlog mentions how they wanted to give them individual stories, more meaningful tasks than just eating bananas n' stuff

[untold grotto]

hope we will see more of FD-The Neighbor relationship

[deft summit]

busy without it feeling empty

[deft summit]

honestly same

[brave thunder]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1018504813186662533/1439584458851483781/attachment.gif

[untold grotto]

all we know is FD is seeing the neighbor as a monster

[near hawk]

While neighbor sees dweller as a friend

AaronFD evidence

[deft summit]

I saw that talk about the code a bit back before I went to sleep

could it just be that it's so the Forest Dweller will capture the neighbor while Peterson doesn't attack him..?

[brave thunder]

every single npc does that tho

[untold grotto]

the neighbor sees FD as a friend while he sees everyone as enemy?

[deft summit]

do other NPCs see the FD as friend

or is it monster

[untold grotto]

vandals do

[deft summit]

oh

so there is actually a lore thing behind it then

no weird coding reason

[untold grotto]

and the neighbor is stronger than fd or something

[near hawk]

The Forest dweller wouldn't capture him.
Monster means he doesn't attack or gain relation.

[untold grotto]

according to personality codes

[near hawk]

If i understand correctly what you said

[brave thunder]

might be coding reason so neighbor won't try to beat fd up

[untold grotto]

Forest Dweller
Sociality: Aggressor
Empathy: Trespasser
Self-preservation: Fighter
Nature: Brave
Vigor: Hyperactive

The Neighbor
Sociality: Aggressor
Empathy: Defender
Self-preservation: Fighter
Nature: Brave
Vigor: Hyperactive

[brave thunder]

because neighbor is stronger than fd

[deft summit]

what

with how old he is..???

[brave thunder]

he has a shovel

he can probably just slam fd like what he did to Quentin

[untold grotto]

also we have historians name confirmed if you didnt see

[deft summit]

what's her name

[untold grotto]

Dorothea Asbjørnsen

[deft summit]

haha I'm not gonna remember that very well

[near hawk]

Dorothea means gift of God while the... Surname means

Well divine bear is what i found it to mean

Or smth

[brave thunder]

neighbor see fd as friend so he don't beat him up
fd see neighbor as monster so he won't attack neighbor

[untold grotto]

is like mayak, FD area though

[brave thunder]

no

[deft summit]

mayak's in the game now..?

[near hawk]

Yes

[untold grotto]

yeah thats where the neighbor is in

[near hawk]

Heh something people wanted since like 2020

[brave thunder]

inside it is safe area

nearby isn't

[deft summit]

alright I got a hunch now

it could still be coding reasons but

is it not possible that there's lore relevance..?

[brave thunder]

it is very possible

[deft summit]

the only other NPCs to see the FD as friend are the Vandals

[brave thunder]

since they could just have fd see neighbor as friends

but it's possible they copied vandal's da for neighbor

and just changed sth

[deft summit]

that doesn't make alot of sense though since the Vandals have code for them roaming at night

the neighbor I don't think roams at all

wouldn't it make more sense to take a towns folk code instead..?

so instead of changing the code for roaming around and at night, it's just roaming around

[brave thunder]

the behavior is separated from the relationship data

i mean they copied the relationship data from vandal

[livid crystal]

I witnessed my poor green man get crushed by his own bakery

[near hawk]

||He blew it up himself|| 😞

[livid crystal]

Oh

I thought it was the weather

[trim trout]

thats sad

[celest plank]

are the behaviours of the npcs canon

[livid crystal]

Probably

Well actually no

[near hawk]

For pre alpha

Tehnically we don't know what is canon till the full release

But i can't see why they wouldn't be canon

[brave thunder]

yea

[livid crystal]

Correct :)

[celest plank]

well is janusz depressed in hn3

[near hawk]

||Yeah he doesn't want to live after his wife died||

[untold grotto]

are you serious bro what are you doing

[near hawk]

In pre alpha

Did Signed get stuck

[celest plank]

yep i officially sent that message before seeing ts

[livid crystal]

Does he have to kids?

[near hawk]

I don't think so

There weren't any hints from what i noticed

[livid crystal]

His story sounded familiar

https://klipy.com/gifs/hello-neighbor-secret-neighbor

[celest plank]

he seems like a father

||has anyone seen the picture of janusz first opening his bakery||

||in his room||

[trim trout]

man thats just so so so sad

[trim trout]

me

[lavish ravine]

question for anyone k the lore about pre alpha

||why the bakery explodes||

[trim trout]

kinda

[trim trout]

Januz is sad that his wife died so he blew it up

[lavish ravine]

wait rlly ?

[trim trout]

yep

[lavish ravine]

now i get it , thanks :DDDD

[brave thunder]

maybe the market being closed is also a reason?

[near hawk]

I think it's part of it

I mean did it even make that much money actually

[livid crystal]

||I wonder why the mascot man is so wild||

[trim trout]

ye same

[brave thunder]

mascot man?

[livid crystal]

Wolf man

[eager glade]

I saved janusz wife

Saved her no fly zone

[trim trout]

wait how does she die?

[near hawk]

Bro thinks he's in hide and seek stage 4

[livid crystal]

But that's his canon event :(

[brave thunder]

we need marry to janusz ending

[trim trout]

YES

[lavish ravine]

you can save januzh with the

||cooking book||

[near hawk]

||by his wife Omelia||

[eager glade]

IM GONNA SAVE HIM NOW

[lavish ravine]

she is in the game?

[eager glade]

BYE

[near hawk]

Heh slow

[lavish ravine]

you cant save him ....

[near hawk]

I saved him already

[brave thunder]

her grave is

[lavish ravine]

ohhhhhh

[livid crystal]

I think we need the Viltrum empire in the game, but that's just my opinion

[lavish ravine]

with the cake ?

[near hawk]

I think i know how to save Jacob too but i would never

[eager glade]

ima stall every pc no fly zone

[brave thunder]

you steal his car

[rotund panther]

Will there be a main hat in hn3?

[livid crystal]

Does anyone know what the wild mascot actually does to people when he grabs them, he used to take them to a little house, but now it's straight death, I wonder how he does it.

[brave thunder]

he teleports with them

and the guy being carried cant take it and dies

[rotund panther]

Will there be a main hat in hn3?

[brave thunder]

atleast that's what we see in game

[livid crystal]

Have we found the error script for hello neighbor 3, or is that for when the full game comes out?

[brave thunder]

i think they only exist in hn1

[livid crystal]

But i think it was in hn2 as well

[deft summit]

yeah HN2 doesn't have it

[livid crystal]

Damn

[deft summit]

it's just HN1

it doesn't work in the other games since the error script stuff was an ARG starting sometime in either Alpha 3 or Alpha 4

which builds up to the weird world where you have to erase the neighbor's AI

I don't remember what the name of that place is called

[livid crystal]

I loved watching him suffer

[deft summit]

HN2 and HN3 are most certainly not having that ARG

especially because it took alot of development time away from HN1 (as well as many other factors, but still)

[livid crystal]

Still pretty cool that we even have an error script portal

It's even better that there were achievements only attainable by going through the portal

[agile kelp]

Possibly

[lavish ravine]

now we need to wait 5 months for alpha 1 ig

[stone elk]

Yall I was thinking pre alpha was going to be the big push in marketing for hn3 but basically no youtubers did videos on it lol

[lavish ravine]

the pre alpha its very good the problem the history its short

[stone elk]

Really hope they will not quit entirely on hn3 after being confused by prototypes and alphas

[lavish ravine]

yea

[stone elk]

Altogh the game may not be for everyone, atleast not if you play it like a regular game

Like if you play hn3 like you would play a typical horror game, cus that is the what most of these youtubers are used to. It will not be as fun as it should

[brave thunder]

im playing hn3 like outer wilds and it feels nice

[stone elk]

Exactly

For me the hn3 prototypes and alpha builds have near full game value just because you can do lots of things with the npcs even when they are at a simple state

[eager glade]

is it js me

or are vandals not scared of guest

and guest isnt attackin them

[idle oar]

yo is the hn3 new alpha still avaible to play?

[eager glade]

it js came out yeah

[idle oar]

where can i get access to it

[eager glade]

steam

[idle oar]

so its still the same game

but its updated?

[brave thunder]

yes

[idle oar]

big thanks

[eager glade]

have fun

[eager glade]

nevermind guest js took signed lol

[deft summit]

is "js" really just "just", or is it "just saying"

[near hawk]

Fairly sure it's "just" from how i seen 99% of people use it

[untold grotto]

its same as people using ts as this

also they did confirmed pre alpha story is part of full games narrative

[near hawk]

It's what they will expand upon iirc

[tacit cargo]

I just finished the main objective, and i am a bit conflicted..... I love the pre alpha, but the ai still seems kinda rough. I propose that they have to reimpliment the friend to hate bar, and a proper chase mode

[arctic jolt]

Wait, so hello neighbor 3 takes place in February of 2028, but there isn’t snow?

[untold grotto]

you can see melted snow

[desert bear]

there is

[arctic jolt]

Oh

[near hawk]

Oh yeah it's February just remembered

[arctic jolt]

I never payed attention to that detail

[tacit cargo]

Is that some kind of teaser for when they think its gonna come out?

[near hawk]

I was fr gonna say "but it takes place in early spring"

[arctic jolt]

Hello neighbor 3 reminds me more of Colorado and Arizona than Missouri

[desert bear]

i feel like it did a good job with communicating more direction but it also feels pretty barebones

which makes sense but still

[untold grotto]

i dont think so

[tacit cargo]

What do you think the game needs?

[desert bear]

its clearly coming out on december 8th 2027

🥹🥹🥹

[desert bear]

other things to do

[stark raft]

Wait do we even have an estimate of release date?

[desert bear]

no

[stark raft]

k

[untold grotto]

they have a internal deadline

[desert bear]

yeah we just dont know anything about when that is

[stark raft]

After alpha how many god damn beta's will they have?

or alpha's

just one or more

[tacit cargo]

Id love to see chase muisics back

Also the npcs hate your guts fir some reason

[desert bear]

thatd be cool, personally i dont think they really fit hn3 but if there was a way where it worked well and didnt take away from the vibe of the game then yeah

[deft summit]

wow

I hate people

[near hawk]

Going on an abbreviation crisis i see

[deft summit]

why are we so hell bent on turning four letter words into two stupid letters that create confusion

[deft summit]

no I just hate illiteracy

[desert bear]

dw abt it

[near hawk]

Alright well ts is a channel about hn3 so

[stark raft]

for the "forest dweller" they could have it be the closer they are the more unnerving the ambience gets or smth

[deft summit]

I mean the game takes alot from this one town in Russia

[desert bear]

yeahhh

[tacit cargo]

For example jacob just started beating me up, though i never interacted with him

[desert bear]

thatd work

[untold grotto]

its because you are a GA worker

and if you have something from his gas station he would go agressive too

[deft summit]

Jacob didn't in the prototypes because you were Jacob too, wow what a narcissist (joke)

[near hawk]

I second this

#killJacob

[deft summit]

I was joking

I don't really mind Jacob or any of the other NPCs

[near hawk]

Well i was serious

[tacit cargo]

Yeah id assume thats the lore reason but I want to see another way of befriending them without dunking bananas until they stop throwing coat hangers and pitchforks at me

[untold grotto]

there is sidequests for befriending with them actually

[eager glade]

jacob giv depression

[deft summit]

is there a reason why the Guest just ends your run unlike in Prototype 3..?

[desert bear]

man i gave the historian her photo and she was genuinely still catapulting me out of 5 story windows

[tacit cargo]

Fallout companions???

[deft summit]

I'm not sure why they'd remove the functionality when it was already there

[near hawk]

They wanted to increase stakes and also due to Lore iirc

[untold grotto]

they reworked him in gameplay wise

they thought it would be better in gameplay

[deft summit]

so they're not gonna like bring that back

it's just dead now

[desert bear]

i prefer the p3 guest behavior

personally

[high brook]

Yea because the getting caught and running back was too frustrating

[desert bear]

i like escaping

[near hawk]

Honestly i've been starting to like Guest a little

[deft summit]

I don't think this new way is any better honestly

[near hawk]

Since i can sacrifice Jacob to him

[untold grotto]

for example if you find 8th episode of Quantum Rider and give it to jacob he will be your friend and there will be another path for you to go museum

[deft summit]

he drags you until he gets far enough into the forest (I'm assuming that's how it works) and THEN ends your run

[high brook]

I’ve just been feeding the vandals to the guest on my runs lol

[deft summit]

it's also way less unforgiving considering how janky the lighting detection system is so far

[desert bear]

it wasnt even that frustrating, it was lowk the move if you need to get to the park quickly too lol

[deft summit]

also the old kidnapping system would actually work GOOD with the gradual story progression

[desert bear]

i guess for lore reasons its fine but imo the guest went from disturbing to annoying

[desert bear]

thats true

[deft summit]

because of the objective system, having something like that isn't nearly as annoying as it was in Prototype 3

Idk this just worsens the Guest

[tacit cargo]

Id also love for there to be 3 days until the storm

[deft summit]

3 days is still a bit too short even with the objective system

I'm still under the idea that it should be 7 days

[desert bear]

did nikita ever tell us what our time limit will be in future builds? like whats the ultimate plan

[eager glade]

10 days

[desert bear]

is it 3 days?

[deft summit]

this ain't Majora's Mask after all

way more stuff to do

[desert bear]

yeah i always imagined it should be a week

[deft summit]

I think 10 days is too much tbh

a full week is just

more sense to me

[eager glade]

would mayak be redesigned

[untold grotto]

huh

[near hawk]

A full week also feels too much honestly.

[deft summit]

as in like

that's what I want them to do

I don't know how else to word it

[untold grotto]

i think 30 minutes for a session is long lol

[eager glade]

were getting sm more than js prototype 3 and pre alpha tho

[untold grotto]

it is 30 minutes and its pretty long in pre alpha

[near hawk]

Unless they would decrease the time for one day or smth

[eager glade]

and more areas to explore

[deft summit]

7 days is only 30 minutes..?

[eager glade]

and side quests main quests

[deft summit]

nevermind then

7 days is not enough

[eager glade]

helping ppl

[untold grotto]

i mean 1 day is 30 minutes in pre alpha

[near hawk]

No one day is 30 Minutes iirc

7 days is too much

[untold grotto]

which was long for me

the game is meant to be played restarting over and over again

15-20minutes session would be better

[deft summit]

oh

[tacit cargo]

Also the missing poster game mechanic doesn't work anymore, big l

[deft summit]

I guess that makes more sense

[untold grotto]

30 was pretty long

[near hawk]

I'd be okay with 3 days IF they decreased the time for one day to see more routine changes or something like that

[deft summit]

there isn't a kidnapping system anymore that's why

[untold grotto]

i think thats because you dont need people to achieve the ending

that too

[tacit cargo]

Thats a bit of a step back

[deft summit]

for this Pre-Alpha atleast it makes sense

but if they actually go with the Guest not dragging you or others to his crappy shack thing

then I'm sorry but I'm probably just gonna get mods to remove him

that's just not a good system

there's no purpose to the Guest with this new system

[untold grotto]

its bad as much as the kidnapping system

[deft summit]

the kidnapping system can be annoying but with the new objective system I don't think it's as bad

atleast with the old system it didn't have to DRAG you to and THEN you die

that's just not good because the dragging system doesn't even function that well as of this point

[untold grotto]

he still drags you

[deft summit]

you get stuck very easily

[untold grotto]

but shorter

[deft summit]

no that's the problem

he still drags you

but why..?

there's no point to it now especially when you can get stuck and as a result get softlocked

[tacit cargo]

Alr, since the devs are hearing us for feedback, well need to compile some things we dont like to writhe in the form

[deft summit]

cause again dragging still sucks, it was just that the old system was way more forgiving because eventually you'll get unstuck

and then you can get out of the crappy building

and go back to what you was doing before that

or even take a shortcut to the park

[peak solar]

I think fall damage might be a bit too harsh of a punishment?

since AIs can easily throw you out of their area, and if you hit the ground hard enough, run over

[deft summit]

but with the new system you'll eventually get unstuck just so you can die

that's pointless

[peak solar]

As a compromise I think you should just drop whatever item you're carrying instead

[deft summit]

if the Guest is going to be an instant-game over, atleast make the dragging be on a timer instead of having to get far enough

[untold grotto]

had to kill historian because of that 🙃

[deft summit]

like a 5 second timer, just make the process of dying faster

[deft summit]

tbh fall damage is just

not fitting for this game

so I'd rather this be what happens instead

[near hawk]

I think fall damage is okay but as it is it's too severe

[deft summit]

I still don't think it has a place in a game like this, since there's way bigger heights than any other game before it

and you have alot of travel-time

that's why in all versions prior people just jumped off of the mountain, and it had it's risk too because of the Forest Dweller

[eager glade]

its like

hn3 map is js too huge right

[mental creek]

The fact that it drags you is to give you a chance to break free and escape, otherwise, it would be incredibly annoying. The game is quite long, and to get killed and have to start all over again for just two seconds without turning around would be awful.

[deft summit]

it wasn't just some "cheat the game" as a result, it was a way better balance

[eager glade]

theres no problem w dat its js the fall damage

[deft summit]

I do not think you can break free from the Guest

[eager glade]

needs to be a bit

[tacit cargo]

Breaking news: a woman in formal clothing jumped from the watertower of raven brooks, without enduring any injuries.... In other news, we are going to hear the testimony of a reporter gone mad after claiming an old man with a mustache chased him around town

[eager glade]

fixed

[deft summit]

I've never seen anyone break free from the Guest when getting dragged

[near hawk]

I like using Guest to kill ppl though

[mental creek]

you can

[deft summit]

you can for the other NPCs

but I have never seen anyone break free from the Guest

[tacit cargo]

If you have the flashlight

[trim trout]

Wait random but will Januz have a j*b in hn3 full game or is it only pre alpha

[deft summit]

he had it in P3 as well

so I'm pretty sure he's gonna keep his job

also that corny meme died months ago don't need to censor job anymore

[untold grotto]

everything you see is part of full games narrative

[trim trout]

Still am

[trim trout]

Ok

[deft summit]

somewhat, things can still change a bit
I just don't think it's gonna ever be as big as changing entire story beats

[tacit cargo]

I want jacob to go back to the gas station

[deft summit]

I mean

if you take something from his gas station he gets mad

so he still has it

[trim trout]

https://tenor.com/view/defeat-gif-26742422

[deft summit]

something like that atleast

[trim trout]

Me when I realized why Januz was crying

[tacit cargo]

Its pretty fun whenever i play hello guest i just say "hey jacob" whenever i shop

[tacit cargo]

Is it cuz ga closed his supermarket?

[deft summit]

and then when you find that out, you realize why the bakery blows up

[trim trout]

I mean, he kind kind of does under his car repair shop. He has the gas station.

[trim trout]

Ya

[deft summit]

his wife is dead

[untold grotto]

omelia

is dead

[trim trout]

That’s just plain out sad

[untold grotto]

you can block it by giving him a cook book writen by her

[trim trout]

That’s in the post office right?

[untold grotto]

yes

cooking with love

[deft summit]

that's sweet

[eager glade]

never stop cooking

[near hawk]

Never cook

[deft summit]

why is your name color changed for a second time

[untold grotto]

the question is:

[tacit cargo]

He blew it up.... right?

[untold grotto]

omelia killed by forest dweller?

[deft summit]

I hope we'll get more stuff like this where a character can die, but your actions can prevent it

[deft summit]

isn't there a grave

[untold grotto]

yeah

[deft summit]

I don't think the Forest Dweller leaves behinds bodies, and even if he does it'll probably be too late once you even find it

[brave thunder]

she probably got killed by Jacob

[brave thunder]

Jacob is just the bad guy

[deft summit]

can't bury someone without a body

[untold grotto]

how do we think forest dweller kills

[deft summit]

I think he just kills people once he gets deep into the forest

[brave thunder]

probably just eats the victim

[deft summit]

y'know like how the gameplay mechanic is

[untold grotto]

ikr

im saying

how

method of killing

i mean

[deft summit]

uhhh well he has a massive beak

that's a weapon

[untold grotto]

metal beak

makes sense

[deft summit]

exactly

[brave thunder]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1436024529540485326/1466987521681526814/caption.gif

[brave thunder]

like this

[deft summit]

those are practically two giant spikes on his face

I don't think he eats them but I do think that beak isn't just to trick the vandals or for show

[brave thunder]

if the beck is naturally grown on him it'd be a weapon

but from p3 ending he wears it

[deft summit]

uh

backwards actually

if the beak was naturally a part of him it wouldn't be metal

so it's not as effective

it would just have the same effect as Patch 9 Guest pecking you twice before biting your face off

[deft summit]

but this..? those are massive metal spikes

way more deadly

[brave thunder]

spike someone with a huge metal beck wearing on head won't be a nice experience

[deft summit]

well

[untold grotto]

he takes off the mask and sticks it in

[deft summit]

they're hollow

I just call them spikes because that's practically what they are

[near meadow]

How do you know aaron isn’t just physically strong enough to also rip people in half?

Also is it me or

The guest is just as tall as the neighbor?

[deft summit]

not confirmed yet, it just seems likely

[near meadow]

Ignore the beak, have the neighbor stand straight, and I swear they’re almost exactly the same height.

[deft summit]

might be that metaphor coming into play

"God"
the false god
and the "Devil"

[untold grotto]

the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

[deft summit]

also it could just be that it's Aaron

again not confirmed yet

it just seems likely

[tacit cargo]

The guest is in hn2

[deft summit]

can't be the HN2 Guest

cannot

he literally can't be

but the Forest Dweller..? yeah he probably can

[tacit cargo]

Also i am sure the townsfolk ripped Bob apart

[tacit cargo]

I think the guest and the forest dweller are the same, don't you?

[deft summit]

no

because Nikita said they aren't

and said he does not know who the HN2 Guest is

plus he has all this lore planned that the HN2 Guest just does not fit in with

[peak solar]

who said what about the HN2 Guest?

[oblique parcel]

He doesnt know who hn2 guest is

[peak solar]

wait, recently?

[oblique parcel]

Nikita

[deft summit]

Nikita does not know the HN2 Guest

[peak solar]

he doesn't remember?

or

[deft summit]

partly because it diverted so much from his plans of the Guest

[peak solar]

oh

[frosty gyro]

they mean the hn2fg guest

[peak solar]

I thought Nikita decided to give the answer to what the guest used to be back then

and got excited for a second

[oblique parcel]

Still would be nice if we get an answer to that one day

Maybe we Will after hn3 is out

[deft summit]

nope that Guest is uh

buried

maybe after WTRB does the FG Guest but

until then

[near meadow]

Remove fall damage from the game please

[deft summit]

buried

[peak solar]

oh yeah speaking of old mysteries

[near meadow]

that thing is the worst feature they ever added

in this game

[peak solar]

I am still waiting on the day Nikita decides to give us

Quentin's last name

because that is a REALLY big question I've had for years

he does have one

I know that for a fact

[near meadow]

I dont want fall damage in this game, gee i sure love making a mistep and now i have to restart the whole run again

[deft summit]

if it's catchy enough I'll use it

if not

I'm disgarding it

[peak solar]

I'm pretty sure it was even relevant according to...

someone

I don't remember who

[near meadow]

If they're gonna do this they need to add a backpack system where it lets me keep the items from the previous run

it be far less annoying

[peak solar]

honestly I hope he decides to randomly show up and humor me lol

[near hawk]

Keeping the items would go against the purpose tbf

[deft summit]

it has to be catchy in a game name too like "Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney", but instead it's "Quentin (Last Name) Ace Journalist"

[near hawk]

You're supposed to just keep info, items is too much

[peak solar]

it would be funny if his last name was relevant because he's related to

ANOTHER character we never saw

[deft summit]

key items I'd prefer

but items in general no

that's too far into making it easy

[peak solar]

like the RB Rimmor's higher-up

[near hawk]

You keep the cable car and museum lever and now You can speedrun the game

[deft summit]

or better yet

[peak solar]

whoever that would've been

[deft summit]

make an easy mode and that's what it does

[arctic jolt]

Does this kind of look like hello neighbor 3 without the gray sky?

[frosty gyro]

wonder what happened to rimmor in hn3

[peak solar]

well it's the banner now

and

seems to be nuked from the map

[untold grotto]

the guest - some kind of "god" that town had a pact, protecting the town, but they abandoned it in 1980 and misfortunes started to struck

the forest dweller - someone who is acting like the "god", and leading people do bad stuff, also killing people since 2008

[near hawk]

So Aaron's been doing that since 25 or so

[near meadow]

True

But no

It just doesn’t work when THIS happens. Either that or please take away fall damage

[versed ravine]

I wouldnt mind a system that allows the player to store items in like a "time capsule" that they can dig up in a different run

[near meadow]

And also the guest killing mechanic should be a process instead where he takes you to a placr and you have a health bar and you have to attempt to get him off while he “shreds you” or else the health runs out and you die

[versed ravine]

But it would be set points

It could help the game flow better

Say you finally got the museum bridge handle but you're too late into a run

Instead of that being for almost nothing you could store it

Grab it at the start of your next run

And enjoy more time doing the later on stuff rather than repeating the exact same series of events again

Would allow for more personalised experiences imo

And decreases the rush push nature this game has

[summer sand]

Overall new pre alpha is great. But there's one problem with chasing sequences inside buildings. Like you always bumping into walls or closed doors and this kinda exhausting. It may be my only problem but yeh.

[tacit cargo]

THIS

[versed ravine]

Also I find the NPCs have some kind of sixth sense

They suddenly spot me while not looking or get mad at me for something I did in a completely different building

It's just a lot jankier and less telegraphed than hn2 for example

[celest plank]

they start running a marathon towards their house when they sense that i entered

[versed ravine]

They also never leave you alone

[tacit cargo]

They are either supehumans or down syndrome patients

[celest plank]

they could be in a whole another country
