[loud canyon]

Read what I sent

[untold grotto]

everything is canon

[loud canyon]

The big message

I explained it

[crude ravine]

Which spin offs, hnvr? Hello engineer? Diaries?

[untold grotto]

its probably not like that

[echo fulcrum]

All of them

[ripe coral]

How can we even connect

Hello engineer??

[loud canyon]

Most likely is

[untold grotto]

because its confirmed to it having some to do with mayak

[dusky hearth]

do the both vandals wear the STOP mask?

[loud canyon]

Wdym

[untold grotto]

and which is kinda against the perspective teory

[ripe coral]

No

[crude ravine]

Yes

[untold grotto]

everything is canon because of mayak

[ripe coral]

No

[untold grotto]

according to nikita

[echo fulcrum]

Doesn't Nikita want to get rid of hn2

[untold grotto]

or like the better sentence was mayak will explain everything

[untold grotto]

no

[loud canyon]

How does that rectify that every game is the way it is due perspective of the protagonist

[dusky hearth]

do yall know where to find the neighbors house

[crude ravine]

There are wearing sign. I dont care which sign

[agile kelp]

When will we finally find out the truth of mayak nekata

[loud canyon]

The weather station

[crude ravine]

In amusement park. Near of ferris wheel

[dusky hearth]

and where is that

oh

[echo fulcrum]

It doesn't nothing makes sense

[loud canyon]

Behind the Ferris wheel at the amusement park

[untold grotto]

the game should be telling you that

[echo fulcrum]

The ferris wheel can light up btw

[loud canyon]

The story of Hello, Neighbour!™ Makes sense if you don't overcomplicate the details like everyone here seems to do

It's all one story but certain media is on a slightly different continuity than others

Kinda like Batman comics

[untold grotto]

there is no need to connect them since its all stories that the media itself

[manic lichen]

also question is the light balb in the corner like a time thing or hints?

[untold grotto]

it shows the area is either lit or not

[manic lichen]

oh

[echo fulcrum]

How do we know the forest dweller isnt the guest?

[untold grotto]

because they are seemingly different in both design wise and narrative wise

like one is protecting the town from misfortunes and the other one is killing people

[manic lichen]

ah shoot the storm.

[near hawk]

What Kryptqn said plus statements from Nikita

[dusky hearth]

the way the guest runs jst creeps me out

[unkempt cipher]

hoffman?

https://tenor.com/view/hoffman-mark-hoffman-saw-5-saw-saw-v-gif-8435788819419724136

[crude ravine]

Take a flashlight and use power mode to him

[crude anchor]

what does helping out the 3 characters do?

[unkempt cipher]

hoffman is an unexpected use of a game character because bro... SAW

[echo fulcrum]

Wait different from what guest? The one in other media or the one on the murals and pictures depicted as sun god or whatever

[untold grotto]

the one in hn3

[near hawk]

Murals vs Forest dweller

[untold grotto]

you will never see me showing something else from different media as proof to hn3

[dusky hearth]

bros kidnaping me

[echo fulcrum]

Nice ok

[near hawk]

Other than HN1 and HaS i assume

[untold grotto]

yeah

[dusky hearth]

WHY ARE THEY EVEN OUTSIDE

[untold grotto]

jacob made them

the car mechanic guy

[echo fulcrum]

The protagonist getting beat up by a granny is something else tho

[desert kernel]

They r so annoying can’t lie

[untold grotto]

the citizens does not like them too canonically

[dusky hearth]

Ive seen him turn these on

[near hawk]

More reasons to hate Jacob:

[crude anchor]

does doing all these do anything?

[echo fulcrum]

Yo Jacob is a menace in these game I thought he was shy or something

[loud canyon]

@untold grotto my question is, if the theory that "each game is being told through the mind of who we play as, hence why the art style varies game to game" is false why is it that each HN game art style change from game to game fits the personality of who we play as?

Nicky: childhood trauma 🏡
Quentin: half truth journalist making up aspects to sell his paper 🗞️
Alma: Corporate worker who works for a company who is responsible for ripping Raven Brooks of its resources for their company 🐦‍⬛

[dusky hearth]

i was living in his houes

[crude ravine]

Checks the town for the enemies

[dusky hearth]

im a enemy?

[near hawk]

With historian it's supposed to make her lit up fireworks but She doesn't do it sometimes for some reason
Jacob fixes lights on the way to the museum if i'm not mistaken

[crude ravine]

If u attacked to an npc or broke something, yes

[dusky hearth]

i restarted a game and thats it

i was afk

[untold grotto]

i did not say its false, im just saying that nikita have said everything is canon because of mayak just goes against perspective theory for me

[near hawk]

For Janusz it just prevents him from ||killing himself|| and that's all afail

[dusky hearth]

what what what

[crude anchor]

m ok, thanks

[dark bison]

wait, how do you help the historian?

[dusky hearth]

he kills himself?

[loud canyon]

How does "mayak connects every story" make it any less likely of a reasoning though?

[untold grotto]

because its like whole 2 different explanations of everything being canon

[crude ravine]

Tasty bakery blows up in night

[near hawk]

Well mayak is a weather station, how does that connect with character mindsets

[loud canyon]

So like, is mayak some kind of giant mechanical building that has the power to connect different continuitys

[dusky hearth]

he himself exploded it?

[untold grotto]

one says everything is different because of protagonist perspective and other one says its because some weather station

[crude ravine]

Yes

[crude anchor]

You can also do it sooner by just breaking the oven yourself

[loud canyon]

Mayak is not just a weather station

[dusky hearth]

bro the bakery jst exploded

[loud canyon]

It holds great technology inside

[near hawk]

Personally i see mayak as having some symbolical role and that's how it does all.
Kinda stretched and a bit half baked but i can't think of other ways.

[dusky hearth]

but why did he kill himself?

[near hawk]

||wife died plus supermarket shut down||

[loud canyon]

||Because his wife died recently and you didn't give him the cookbook she left for him||

[dusky hearth]

who was his wife?

the girl with purple hair?

[loud canyon]

Play the game, keep exploring

It will all be revealed

[dusky hearth]

what if im in the bikery when it explodes

[loud canyon]

We can't just explain everything to you it would ruin the fun of you seeing it yourself

[near hawk]

She's not an npc

[crude anchor]

you die

[dusky hearth]

can we prevent him from dying?

[near hawk]

Yeah

Something in the ||post office||

[dusky hearth]

like we knock him out and take him away

[near hawk]

Give it to him

I won't tell You what unless you won't find it after exploring a bit

[crude ravine]

I hate bob

[celest plank]

well well well

[dusky hearth]

how does he even look

[celest plank]

frigid Took My Role Color.

let me remind thou that i officially own it and it is my property

[crude ravine]

We dont see him

[near hawk]

Who cares

[dark bison]

we're supposed to care ... why?

[near hawk]

Oof

[crude ravine]

Hn1 vs hn3

[nocturne jacinth]

bro pre-alpha heat rn

[celest plank]

cause i said so

hanyway back to homework

[near hawk]

Yeah go do yer homework

[woven lodge]

So little tree styles...

No birch...

[near hawk]

Otherwise you will get bad grades

Teacher will scream at you

[celest plank]

its rly cool to see the same world through different characters' eyes

[crude ravine]

Kid game vs masterpiece

[woven lodge]

Masterpiece needs birch trees! 😠

[loud canyon]

As someone who lives in a town like this, this is perfect

[dusky hearth]

gamer posture

[celest plank]

masterpiece needs to eradicate placeholder trees

[crude ravine]

Game would be 1 fps

[near hawk]

He may gets stuck a satanic amount of Times but he does look cool

[celest plank]

what is man talking baout 😭

[dusky hearth]

the neighbor might die in hn4

[loud canyon]

I've never seen a birch tree in my entire life

[dusky hearth]

hes how old rn?

[woven lodge]

Hello Neighbor 3 when you add a new type of tree: explodes

[loud canyon]

85

[celest plank]

85

i said it first.

[near hawk]

85

[crude ravine]

85 years old

[dusky hearth]

how isnt he even dead

[near hawk]

No eerie said it first

[celest plank]

he's tuff like that

[woven lodge]

Raven Brooks is in a place where it could and should have birch trees.

[near hawk]

It also looks like this on my screen so

[loud canyon]

Shows how little you know about where Raven Brooks is located

[near hawk]

Eerie said it first

[crude ravine]

Who cares

[dusky hearth]

looks same like my

[near hawk]

Go back to your homework anyway achi

[loud canyon]

I'm the best, thanks guys

[celest plank]

honestly

why does raven brroks even need birch trees

[loud canyon]

It doesnt

[woven lodge]

I mean if Hello neighbor 3 is based on where Nikita lived in Russia, then yes birch trees could exist.

[celest plank]

literally just finalize the trees once and for all and reduce them thats all i need

[dusky hearth]

what country is even hn in?

[celest plank]

none

void

[loud canyon]

If that's true I'm sure the trees will be updated in future builds as they're clearly placeholders

[near hawk]

No don't reduce trees they look cool

[woven lodge]

In fact the birch tree is the national tree of Russia.

[celest plank]

what did you juts say

[loud canyon]

Raven Brooks isn't in Russia

[crude ravine]

Yes it would be becuz there is so much trees and same, ue complies easily for this reason. But with new trees...

[crude ravine]

America missouri

[woven lodge]

Missouri also has birch trees.

[near hawk]

None for HN3

[near hawk]

For books it's in Missouri

[celest plank]

rb is in browny's backyard

[near hawk]

For HN3 it's nowhere

[loud canyon]

Birch trees is a weird fixation for a game in a pre alpha state I'll be so fr

[near hawk]

Aka your alt

[crude ravine]

Birch trees makes ugly i think

[woven lodge]

Birch is good.

[loud canyon]

Birch is lame

Ugliest tree variant

[woven lodge]

Nuh uh.

[celest plank]

how about we finalize the trees instead

(and reduce them)

[near hawk]

Finalise the trees

[crude ravine]

I think trees will be same in full game

[near hawk]

(and double them)

[untold grotto]

its its own place

[celest plank]

no theyre placeholder

[woven lodge]

Birch is the prettiest tree.

[loud canyon]

I do wonder how different final game will look visually

[crude ravine]

Source?

[celest plank]

theyre lihchally unoptimized

theyre just free assets

[dusky hearth]

what do yall think hn3 will cost

[crude ravine]

Good, there is no problem with it i think

[woven lodge]

At least $3.

[celest plank]

3 dollars is cheap in tb's world

[crude ravine]

20 - 40$

[celest plank]

at least 60 to 70 dollars

[dusky hearth]

hn2 is already 30 euros

[near hawk]

70-190 dollars at least

[celest plank]

like 200 dollars at the very least

[dusky hearth]

gta 6 cheaper

[loud canyon]

It will be a dlc for house flipper actually

[crude ravine]

Default is 40, deluxe is 60 dollars

[celest plank]

ihope there wont be dlcs

[near hawk]

Yeah but GTA 6 also worse so

[dusky hearth]

i jst heard a crash

in hn3

[near hawk]

Yes

True

[dusky hearth]

jacob cant drive

[celest plank]

my hn3 crashes when i inject UUU so uh yeah i cannot remove the trees

[woven lodge]

It's because Jacob got distracted from how little birch trees there are.

[near hawk]

Yeah he's a loser

[loud canyon]

It's a groundhog day butterfly effect sandbox

[near hawk]

All my homies hate Jacob

[loud canyon]

Dlcs would be pointless

[dusky hearth]

dlc that add drone

[celest plank]

i want every1 to have equal access to the game

[loud canyon]

They're not gonna add a drone Volk

I do hope they add a slingshot tho

[celest plank]

and besides that dlcs lowkey wouldnt make sense in a game like hn3 where exploring is your goal

[loud canyon]

They did add a remote controlled toy car already tho

[celest plank]

will they not add real drivable cars

[dusky hearth]

no they will add volkswagen

[celest plank]

although looking at hn3 in this state i wouldnt think the game will need cars

[celest plank]

it would be cool in like prototype 1 or 2

[crude ravine]

Devs always changes own minds

They said there wont be cutscene but there is. Etc etc

[loud canyon]

Um, I'm pretty sure the NPCs will be able to drive around actually 😭

[celest plank]

uh no cutscenes were always planned

[dusky hearth]

i think they will add some kind of a gun that dosnt kill but ragdol

[loud canyon]

God give Theodore his 1960 Chevrolet Bell Air back

[celest plank]

start and end cutscene

[dusky hearth]

like the gun that the taxidermist used

[celest plank]

dont they do that

like jacob

[dusky hearth]

that shot salt

[loud canyon]

Yes

I wanna see neighbor drive

[near hawk]

Jacob does drive but he crashes due to how much of a loser he is

[celest plank]

jaconb is a beast in ts build

[loud canyon]

He needs to have a shopping mechanic

[celest plank]

i dont even save jacob from crashing

[crude ravine]

Nikita said there will be no cutscenes in 2024

[loud canyon]

"beast"
Dies

[dusky hearth]

jacob in prototipes was a friend and now a loser

[celest plank]

he prolly meant cutscenes mid-game cause i cant imagine a hn game without a start and end cutscene

[dusky hearth]

and he never could drive

[loud canyon]

Question is, does that mean no cutscenes period or no mid game cutscenes like HN2

[near hawk]

Nikita said they would have intro and end cutscenes so.

Lemmy find the message

[crude ravine]

No, he said there will be no ending cutscenes

[untold grotto]

he previously said it like that

[meager meteor]

what happens after we get hit by someone behind in HN2

[green storm]

I'd like they put more interactions with the NPCs like dialogues or questions

[untold grotto]

but recently he said there would be

[near hawk]

Sorry

[celest plank]

WHEY

frigid that was tight

[near hawk]

I had no idea it does that

[green storm]

I want they put Iris back, she's my favourite character

[near hawk]

Doesn't the bot censor those anyway

[untold grotto]

just there wont be like cutscenes that cuts the gameplay

[celest plank]

i dont really like iris' design she feels like too empty

just a shirt and pants

and glowing hair

like what

[dusky hearth]

we need like multiplayer

[near hawk]

There will be an end

And intro

[crude ravine]

Her design will be changed if devs bring her

[celest plank]

i hope they put more things on her in that case

[crude ravine]

Only her clothes should be changed i think

[celest plank]

shes alright the clothes are just too bland

[loud canyon]

Cutscenes will probably only happen at the end or start of a run

That or they're cutscenes you can move around in

Like half life

[celest plank]

tomorrow i will give heich en three pre dash alpha the last chance

||i will try escaping the museum and if i do that my life is fulfilled||

[dusky hearth]

https://youtu.be/TSCCH4Frwrw?si=E5i6EhThybq8r-UC somehow i found this

[celest plank]

this feels like a dream bro 😭

[green storm]

Maybe she will become the town's mail-woman, since we hace a post office in Raven Brooks

[celest plank]

i remember tues vid

[celest plank]

probably

if she were to come back theyll most likely give her a job

[green storm]

yep

[celest plank]

honestly i dont really understand the whole

npc actions being scripted thing

i never did

it would just feel more right to let them live in the town and do their jobs

keeping the city functional

even if most of the population is gone

right now theyre just following a scripted goal

[green storm]

just we need someone who work in the Hotel as recepcionist

[near hawk]

We need Bob

[green storm]

I'd like the devs put the Raven Brooks Baner building in the game in the future

and Know what happened with Quentin

[celest plank]

||why was bob slapping letters do janusz on the supermarket why is he so cking mysterious 😭||

like talk to the guy directly man

Janusz, Clean This Up

[near hawk]

Bob is just very insecure about his appearance

[loud canyon]

||Bob shut down his store I'm pretty sure not sure why, probably because of health code violation or because Bob SUCKS||

[celest plank]

bob must be an introvert

[near hawk]

I don't hate Bob tbf

Because he shut down Jacob's business yay

[green storm]

Janusz was a part-time employeer for Golden Apple's, just for keep his bakery open

[celest plank]

||hes probably shutting places down in raven brooks because the town is a lost cause and the population is way too low for golden apple to get profit||

||keeping all those ga properties in the town functioning would cost more than they get out of them||

[dusky hearth]

rip

[celest plank]

You Could've Helped Him.

[green storm]

Bob was just doing his job, maybe Mr. Peterson killed him because he discovered about the thinks happened in the past

[celest plank]

But You Watched Him Die.

[dusky hearth]

i hate him

[untold grotto]

its because theyre not responsible for that places

[celest plank]

thats vile

[dusky hearth]

he never helped us

[celest plank]

i love my janusz

i feel so bad for him

[untold grotto]

when GA had to leave the area, the townspeople took over the buildings

[celest plank]

would u be in the mood to help someone out when ||your wife is dead and you got depression and your business is failing||

[dusky hearth]

its jst a game bro

[untold grotto]

thats why they are not GA employee, but managing GA properties

[dusky hearth]

not like its irl

[green storm]

if we don't deliver the cooking book from the post office to Januzs, he'll kill himself let it open the gas pipe and blow up the bakery

[celest plank]

i treat janusz like if he were real ❤️‍🩹✌️

[green storm]

the cooking book gives him a reason to live, because it was written by his wife

[celest plank]

proceeds to cry for the rest of eternity at the cemetery

[near hawk]

People sacrifice Jacob and Dorothea all the time (for obvious reasons) but has anyone ever tried sacrificing Janusz?

[celest plank]

honestly we should marry janusz ourselves

[near hawk]

That's right no one

[green storm]

I like to think that in the final game our actions at raven brooks will have consecuences

[celest plank]

gotta respect janusz

the neighbor's wife died and he absolutely changed the world over ts

janusz is chill like that

[near hawk]

Tbf blowing up a bakery to get himself down felt like too much.
Like Janusz what If there's people around you and you blew them up.

[celest plank]

covered was the chillest npc in this build by far

[near hawk]

True

[eager glade]

no pinged u noob

[near hawk]

I remember walking around the museum or post office or smth with her and it felt like we were thieves together

She did randomly push me out a window

[echo fulcrum]

Really?

[near hawk]

What a traitor

[echo fulcrum]

My covered was king von

[trim reef]

How do we take notes?

[covert granite]

can we set off the fireworks without helping the historian? she wont leave the museum when i give her the picture

[trim reef]

I friended Covered with 4 bananas

[echo fulcrum]

I gave Jacob a cake he grabbed it shoved it in my face broke a chair over my head and threw me out a window

[dusky hearth]

u can friend npc?

[trim reef]

Yes

[echo fulcrum]

I hate him

[dusky hearth]

any npc?

[echo fulcrum]

Not the guest he'll rip your face off

Everyone except the guest

[near hawk]

Teddy too i believe

[echo fulcrum]

Who's teddy?

[near hawk]

The Neighbor

[echo fulcrum]

Ohhh Theodore ok

Is the neighbor evil?

[woven lodge]

Yes he didn't plant any birch trees.

[trim reef]

how to take notes in the pre-alpha

[covert granite]

notes appear when you complete objectives

so how do you set off the fireworks? the historian isnt doing it

[echo fulcrum]

That feels like something a character from smiling friends would say

[trim reef]

But I check every room of the supermarket, and the cable car— no bob novak, why no note

[woven lodge]

Jokes on you I didn't watch that.

I only watch the Hello Neighbor: Animated Series.

[eager glade]

im scared in this game im playing

[echo fulcrum]

"Nikita is listening"

[eager glade]

why are the residence evil

[trim reef]

Where is Bob Novak

[eager glade]

why god wwhyyyyyyyyy

[woven lodge]

Nikita probably doesn't like the show.

[covert granite]

pick up the notes on lined paper, theyre either on a table or on the wall

[trim reef]

Ohhh

[echo fulcrum]

"Nikita isn't listening"

Wait fr tho

[near hawk]

I'm confident Nikita didn't like the show lol

[green storm]

so guys do you think Hello Neighbot 2 is canon at all or not??

[near hawk]

Yes but not in the way you think

[echo fulcrum]

Wasn't it his Magnum opus to finally explain what the Mayak haz to do with the inconsistencies?

The series

[green storm]

maybe some parts of the game,

[agile kelp]

Notes are hidden

[green storm]

but not enterily

[near hawk]

Why not entirely

Everything is canon

Unless you mean the patch 9 area

[echo fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/higuruma-hiromi-higuruma-jujutsu-kaisen-jujutsu-kaisen-meme-jjk-memes-gif-10370496866020481076

[sand flare]

i bet alpha 1 is tomorrow

[covert granite]

why wont the historian leave the museum when i give her the picture? how do i make the town safe?

[green storm]

which picture?

[near hawk]

Her ai is kinda broken

[woven lodge]

Have you guys considered... Pre-alpha 2?

[sand flare]

no

[near hawk]

In her house there's a picture of her in her youth

[echo fulcrum]

Why does the historian only get mad after a while?

Like not immediately

[green storm]

where we can find the lever to down the alternative bridge?

[covert granite]

then how do I get to the ice cream booth without getting caught by the guest? the camera isnt helping

[echo fulcrum]

Is there something that makes her go aggro?

[covert granite]

i think theres a lever in her house

[echo fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/you-don't-invincible-omni-man-jk-simmons-that's-the-neat-thing-gif-4390372980992221432

[near hawk]

Flashlight ig.
Does that not work either

[green storm]

Sprinting all the way until get to the weather station

[covert granite]

its literally too dark and cluttered 😭 how are people beating it in 5 min?

[echo fulcrum]

So I guess you could pray maybe use your flashlight but he really doesn't care half the time

[echo fulcrum]

Why dark tho? Do it in the day

[near hawk]

I've seen like 2 Minutes as well lol

[green storm]

because they go first to the museum to get the cable-car lever

when the arrive to the Amusement Park is daylight still

[woven lodge]

Is there any other way?

I did it that way.

[green storm]

I think the devs should slow down the time speed of the game and get more time

[near hawk]

No i do not agree

[echo fulcrum]

30 mins is plenty

[near hawk]

Lowkey i want 20 Minutes or so

[woven lodge]

Two hours.

[echo fulcrum]

In the final relaese I want 2 hours

[covert granite]

i think this build is more complicated than last prototype 👀

[near hawk]

Idk If me playing outer wilds recently for quite a bit affects my choice

[echo fulcrum]

What are you even going to do in 2 hours bro

[green storm]

not at all if you check the tasks

[woven lodge]

Play the game.

[echo fulcrum]

Are you talking about full realaese?

[near hawk]

In outer wilds the loop is 22 mins

[echo fulcrum]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-patrick-star-peak-cinema-absolute-cinema-gif-2419960068189387292

Outerwilds??!?

[near hawk]

Nikita talked about it quite a bit and i decided to play

It was a good choice

[echo fulcrum]

Well that's basically the game loop of hello neighbor 3

[near hawk]

W Nikita for recomending

[echo fulcrum]

Explore take notes and use them to reach the end

If they manage to pull this off as outerwilds did then it's going to be a great game

[frosty gyro]

hn3 is directly inspired by outer wilds formula yes.

[frosty gyro]

its a great game

https://tenor.com/view/outer-wilds-outer-worlds-beloved-outer-wilds-gif-22398682

[vocal mica]

who is the protagonist of hn3?

[near hawk]

Alma Hoffman

Or Almira Hoffman formally

[lunar trail]

her

[sly epoch]

really liking the new hello neighbor designs, really unique and love to see how theyve grown into their own thing

like they kept the exaggerations but still find a way to make them unsettling

like the guest

and mr peterson himself

[woven lodge]

I'd really like a design for a birch tree.

[sly epoch]

true

trees need work

im guessing they want the game to be there first

lots of empty unused buildings

[ebon oar]

hey

https://tenor.com/view/lelouchvoids-lulu-hello-neighbor-nicky-roth-nicholas-michael-roth-gif-3711675654594851289

[strong narwhal]

Are there multiple endings in pre alpha?

[worldly thunder]

He's so scary

[stark raft]

nope ._.

[woven lodge]

Notice how cool this image is? That's because it has a birch tree in the background.

[stark raft]

question.
how the heck does the forest dweller make all that racket
I am trying to give a guy a damn book at 3:00 am
and all I hear is a toddler not getting their mcdonalds on the way home
my lord

Ik its a dude pretending to be the guest but

do they have a speaker in that jumper

cheezsus christ man

heheh

cheezus

also how do you get janusz to blow up the bakery?

[woven lodge]

Don't do anything and he'll just do it.

[stark raft]

Everytime I play I leave him alone I come back to town the bakery is still there

[pulsar sentinel]

Guys does anyone know where coned lives I've been trying to find him

[stark raft]

What's Jacob deal? How can I save him?

[stark raft]

go to boiler in cinema

where u get the note

and get the movie tape next to it

give it to jacob

then u become friends. he waves at u w a smile

thats it

nahh

he fixes the lights

on the path to the museum

[echo fulcrum]

He sucks at driving man

[rigid jasper]

also guys is there any new lore added in pre-alpha that i missed (not the premise and not stuff you need to complete the game)

[rigid jasper]

uhhh not that i know of unless you consider the screen being consumed by the fog in the storm an ending

[rigid jasper]

he assaulted me for like 2 minutes in an alleyway for stepping into a place where he doesnt even work at i dont feel bad for him

[stark crest]

Wow! More false advertisement! First off this is one of the hardest games I’ve ever played and based on that fact I have to speed-run which he claims in the latest dev log that you don’t have to do that which you kinda do so thanks for lying : ) grandeturisto I love the game tho it’s peak

[rigid jasper]

i mean most of the game doesnt require speedrunning

[stark crest]

Say what you mean without saying spoilers

[pulsar sentinel]

there werent any spoilers when he said that

[rigid jasper]

wait wheres the book

[pulsar sentinel]

oh wait nvm

its in the post office

[rigid jasper]

oh ty

[pulsar sentinel]

np

[rigid jasper]

but like anything else that isn't bob novak or ||theo abandoning his house to live in the weather station||

[rigid jasper]

i think shes chill until you steal or break something

[stark raft]

post office

cook book

[nocturne jacinth]

Does Anyone know what signed is looking for?

[random shell]

Is that in the cinema?

[nocturne jacinth]

He wants proof of the guest using the camera which is located in the museum

[nocturne jacinth]

yes

but i take pictures of the guest and give them to him and it does nothing

[rigid jasper]

i dont think you can befriend or save the vandals

[nocturne jacinth]

my thought is he wants a picture of the guest in a certain building??

[stark raft]

it might do something in a later build

[nocturne jacinth]

idk

do you all know about episode 8 and jacob

[stark raft]

could be smth like fnaf where there are multiple endings but only 1 is canon or smth

[stark raft]

yeah

[nocturne jacinth]

so i feel like there are more secret notes with other characters

[stark raft]

yeah

[rigid jasper]

also where do yall find jacob ive beaten the game and havent seen him once

[stark raft]

but all I know of are jacob and janusz

[stark raft]

the petrol station

[rigid jasper]

oh

[nocturne jacinth]

yes

[stark raft]

how else do you complete the game

[rigid jasper]

i mean i was there but i didnt see him

[stark raft]

u go to the petrol station to get the note

[stark raft]

it is a pre prototype

so its prob a bug

[rigid jasper]

also how do you get these notes i havent really tried to save any npcs yet

[grim lark]

They’re scattered around the different locations

[stark raft]

ye

[nocturne jacinth]

find the cassette in the cinema and give it to him

[grim lark]

Just look for pieces of paper

[rigid jasper]

oh

[grim lark]

This note is in Jacob’s house

[stark raft]

and with cook book u give to janusz

[nocturne jacinth]

that doesn't give you the note though

[nocturne jacinth]

what?

where

where is the cookbook?

[stark raft]

post office

[nocturne jacinth]

ok

[stark raft]

in a shelf

13b or smth

[nocturne jacinth]

bakers wife?

so his wife is missing

and thats why hes crying

[grim lark]

He never picked up that cookbook

[nocturne jacinth]

yeah

she never did

[grim lark]

Also, when you give the book to Janusz, he does… something interesting

[nocturne jacinth]

wow

[grim lark]

See thats what I really loved about this alpha

Your actions tell a story

[nocturne jacinth]

absolutely

[last lotus]

I just realized something. This game kinda feels like what Hello Neighbor 2 was supposed to be initially

[grim lark]

Yep!

[nocturne jacinth]

kinda

[grim lark]

The man hiding out in mayak for years and tinkering with storm shenanigans

[nocturne jacinth]

i feel like at its core, HN2 was supposed to be slightly linear

[grim lark]

Place being abandoned and all

[last lotus]

That and it being fully open world with the ability to tackle the game in any way you want

[grim lark]

Hello Neighbor 2’s alphas (1/1.5) has you wandering around like a sandbox to find things that can help you and secrets

[grim lark]

Yep!

[woven lodge]

Theodore needs his brown hair back. 🙁

[last lotus]

Funny enough I was just playing those builds and the Guest is both the most intimidating and funny antagonist to play against

[blissful river]

He’s 85 or smth, no.

[grim lark]

Screw bot

[last lotus]

The ability to knock him over is really funny

[nocturne jacinth]

is there any other serect notes that we know of?

[grim lark]

We technically have ragdolls in hn3

[last lotus]

Oh?

I remember throwing stuff at the npcs and they didn't really react

I hope the Mayak building is bigger btw, the Neighbor tends to get stuck a lot

[woven lodge]

Your hair doesn't turn black when you get old! 😠

In fact it's the opposite!

It turns white or gray!

[rigid jasper]

i dont think he should, look at what happened the last time he drove.

[loud canyon]

i believe in him

[grim lark]

Its because of that dang cult

[loud canyon]

he has a very specific condition that causes his hair to change colour due to old age

[woven lodge]

Which one?

[mighty orchid]

The black hair one of course

Maybe he can just retain some color to his hair and it not be white or grey completely

[loud canyon]

spontaneous hair repigmentation

Caused by his obvious lack of a healthy diet and spending too much time isolated, not getting enough sunlight and such

His isolated and violent life style has finally caught up with him and his design reflects that

[woven lodge]

... That's the exact opposite things that can cause that!

Also his hair wouldn't be actively graying if that's the case!

[loud canyon]

That's the stupidest thing I have ever read

SHR doesn't prevent hair from greying it just turns the hair a black color along with greying

Just like Old Man Peterson

Also isolation and bad eating habits combined with a stressful life can cause spontaneous hair repigmentation

And Considering how stressful Theodores life is, I'm surprised he hasnt gotten it sooner

[nocturne jacinth]

maybe a clue to something?

[floral kettle]

Eye (I) Heart (love) to do Scary Face (???)

[nocturne jacinth]

the guest just wants love

?

[floral kettle]

Idk

[nocturne jacinth]

also, you think the lightning bolt does anything rn?

[floral kettle]

Which one?

[nocturne jacinth]

ik you can power the ferris wheel

[nocturne jacinth]

wym?

sorry lightning rod

Nikita said the purpose of the game is not to find notes, but to explore. What does he mean by explore

Explore what?

[floral kettle]

explore the map

what else?

[gentle carbon]

maybe in a future version you can do tasks to aid them somehow

[green storm]

The map is from the preview version (prototype 3) just with some adding (Post Office, Gas Station, Mayak is now a real location to visit and the big park behind Iris' house is now a cemetary) I think the town need more to be improved

[loud canyon]

This is not meant to even remotely a full game, it is a pre alpha, slowly building on itself with each new version. It lacks most of what the final game is meant to be, its a Pre Alpha, barely leaving the prototype state. The game is FAAAR from even being remotely finished, its a rough sketch build of what theyre trying to achieve. This build isnt meant to be treated as a full game it is merely a early tech demo build, a pre alpha. You are correct, HN3 Pre Alpha barely qualifies as a game bc its a pre alpha it isnt near that stage out, it is very early in development. Lets learn what a pre alpha is before we make such assumptions

HN3 is releasing early builds for fans who wanna see how the game is shaping up but it does not label itself as a full game it literally has Pre Alpha in the name

youre a bot, theres no way you finished that message that fast

that was 3 seconds

[nocturne jacinth]

i was trying to type sum but too much to fast

[green storm]

I just hope that Alpha 1 version brings back Iris and Isaac, and bring new mission and being more inmerssive

[nocturne jacinth]

is has to be ai

[nocturne jacinth]

m etoo

[dense fractal]

Chatgpt bruh

[nocturne jacinth]

aight bro

[dense fractal]

I can see the long - thing

[loud canyon]

this is a ai ran account

[nocturne jacinth]

bro we get it

[dense fractal]

Actually just pure ai

[nocturne jacinth]

and look at K5 bio

tryna be all that

[loud canyon]

@icy canyon hey so this K5 guy is either a bot or a hacked account, theyre sending obvious ai generated responses and sent me a friend request and im worried i might get hacked if i engage with this person so i recommend banning them

plus their bio states to be an AI as well

[dense fractal]

What if hn3 isnt real and this is secretly hello engineer 2

[nocturne jacinth]

but yeah the game needs a lot of polishing pretty much everywhere. Its currently still difficult to find any solution. I like the challenge of a good puzzle but when things are hidden so well that even with guidance you cant find them, it makes the game feel like a chore

I enjoyed the experience tho

[dense fractal]

My friend played and had no idea what to do, he hasnt played the other prototypes so this was his first time playing hn3

[nocturne jacinth]

yeah i made mine do the same

[dense fractal]

Instead he got dragged into the forest by a lawnmower 😭

[green storm]

I think prototype 3 was the worst till now

[nocturne jacinth]

but poeple dont outside the community and development dont know that the point of the game is to explore

[nocturne jacinth]

just how

[green storm]

the optimization was freakin' awful

[nocturne jacinth]

p3 was pretty much unplayable, a huge downgrade

[green storm]

my pc was about to explode like Januzs Bakery

XD

[dense fractal]

My friends first time playing, he tried getting inside of the bakery but it exploded

[green storm]

Your friend need to visit the post office first

[nocturne jacinth]

but i like that you can change what happends

you actions matter

[green storm]

deliver a book to Januzs

[nocturne jacinth]

exactly

[green storm]

and he will become friendly and let you in the bakery

[nocturne jacinth]

and just imagine if they hid the book behind more puzzles, like a key

or a generator that opens a gate to it but gets turned off by the guest unless you flash him with the photocam

[green storm]

I'd like to think that if devs bring back Iris, the way that she become friendly with us is finding and rescueing Issac

[nocturne jacinth]

these are the puzzles I enjoy and make it feel rewarding when i do something

[nocturne jacinth]

I do think they will come back soon

maybe alpha 2

[icy canyon]

The town did feel a bit empty without the extra friendly/neutral npcs going through it so I do hope Iris returns

[nocturne jacinth]

i agree

and make jacob be a target and not just spawn in the basement area

like he goes to the museum by himself in the woods

and gets caught by guest

[green storm]

I think it could be nice an ending where we can help the residents to evacuate the town before the storm, helping Jacob to repair a vehicle, by recolecting the neccesary parts

[nocturne jacinth]

so you could either provent that from happening at the start of rescue him later

[green storm]

like Prototype 2 but improved

[nocturne jacinth]

yes

i do think the car crash provention should be added back

and i think it will

bro hire me Eerie Guest Studios

[icy canyon]

It would be nice if the final game had a mix of the objectives from the prototypes.
Help the town's festival to try and stop the storm or convince them all somehow they need to evacuate

[rigid jasper]

yeah that would be nice

[nocturne jacinth]

but not save them like in p3

that was just weird

[rigid jasper]

kind of strange that guest statue is missing an arm in pre-alpha

[green storm]

I think that's the objetive, there'll be more endings depending about your decissions

[rigid jasper]

yeah god no i hated that

[nocturne jacinth]

yeah i was wondering if you would be able to find it somewhere

[rigid jasper]

same

[icy canyon]

The idea of the game having no truth path to follow is something I really enjoy when done right, it gives replay value and more depth to the world.

Though, I would be lying if I said I wouldn't like a 'True/Final ending'. Just don't know how that'd go however.

[green storm]

and it's make more sense since this is the last NH until now

we don't know if there would be a HN4

[trim reef]

Uhm...

[nocturne jacinth]

why replayable?

[trim reef]

A door just came off the hinge without me breaking it...

[icy canyon]

More hello neighbor games are planned

[trim reef]

i just walked through the door and it just... snapped off

[icy canyon]

Well when you complete the main path there's a reason to pick back up the game after you're done, and that's the other routes. That's what I mean by 'replayable'

[nocturne jacinth]

I dont see what you mean by replayable, the player solves all the mysterys and does all sidequests but then what?

[trim reef]

ugh i wish i could send photos

[nocturne jacinth]

ok

[rigid jasper]

someone was slacking off when screwing on the hinges

[nocturne jacinth]

I guess i dont really see that as replayable but completing the game 100%

[icy canyon]

Hide and Seek once you're done with the main game there's no reason to replay, not a side mode or anything but in HN3 there's multiple ways to go about solving problems.

[nocturne jacinth]

thats true like doing things differently and in different order

[trim reef]

How to aquire image permissions?

[nocturne jacinth]

it could change where things get placed or where an npc is at a time

[icy canyon]

DM Jacky about that

[nocturne jacinth]

i think you need a high enough level

idk tho

[trim reef]

Whos Jacky

[green storm]

I lke the current possibilities:

1- Alma get fired from Golden Apple, but she can stay in Raven Brooks and help the resident to raise the town

2- Help the resident to finish the Festival and stop the storm by defeating Mr. Peterson at last.

3- Alma finish her job in the town and returning to Golden Apple HQ, but leaving Raven Brooks to its own

4- Alma helps Raven Brooks resident to evacuate the town before the stown swallow the entire place

[icy canyon]

tinyJacky, she's the discord manager of tB

[rigid jasper]

yeah imo it should be something like like deltarune where instead of other endings being non-canon they are just alternate outcomes*. I still think there should be a more definitive ending though which fully concludes story the best.

[nocturne jacinth]

and more honestly

i could see like 10 endings

[rigid jasper]

imo festival should be different ending from mayak for gameplay and story reasons but

[icy canyon]

That's why I liked Prototype 3's endings even tho I didn't finish it, the endings didn't feel like non canon lose condition. No matter which one you got it built on the lore. I know i said it before but it's something I like.

[nocturne jacinth]

and getting al the endings will explain the whole story

[green storm]

the sub-endings depending to who helping or not

like Fallout New Vegas

[nocturne jacinth]

or a solution for the main ending

[nocturne jacinth]

yes for sure

[rigid jasper]

i REALLY like the storm ending. a bunch of randos showing eachother a report of what just happened to the town you were in, and then you hear the guest which implies that bro somehow survived the entire town being erased (theyre also probably going to die)

[nocturne jacinth]

this is really the first version of the game that has shown me the potential

[green storm]

yes, starting that we have a protagonist and a legit porpuse to visit Raven Brooks

[icy canyon]

Hello Neighbor 3 has the potential of breaking the 'good alpha, underwhelming final release' loop that most other HN games fall into.

[green storm]

beyond to be just a traveller who got stranded or an urban explorer

[nocturne jacinth]

I think it will be more like progressively better alphas to an amazing release

[icy canyon]

Nikita just needs to be able to cook and not be rushed.

[green storm]

We need to let Nikita cook

but we can suggest him

[rigid jasper]

if tinybuild rushes nikita i will cast a curse onto alex

[green storm]

despite at all, HN devs are letting us to test the game

we're lucky to have this privilege

[alpine condor]

Bro the neighbor took my sledehammer

[rigid jasper]

realistically how is he holding both the shovel and sledgehammer in the same hand

[nocturne jacinth]

where is the sledge

i know its in the game but where

[green storm]

in the bakery

[rigid jasper]

storage room

[nocturne jacinth]

ok

[green storm]

you need the unlock the storage room to get it

[gentle carbon]

you can go around the back break the glass and just grab it

[nocturne jacinth]

yall should join vc

[alpine condor]

i mean look at him

[rigid jasper]

tbf yeah his hands are huge

[nocturne jacinth]

the shovel should become an item

that is used for an ending or puzzle

[rigid jasper]

dig up lucy yi but like hn1 act 2 where theres no actual corpse

[nocturne jacinth]

yeah

[green storm]

censoreship maybe??

[rigid jasper]

yeah i dont think that they could show an decomposing body but maybe she couldve "dissapeared" like in the show?

[green storm]

beside, I like that all the signs, notes and posters in the game are now written correctly and no using anagrams or something like that

It's was too annoying to try to read it

[rigid jasper]

yeah although wayron croobian has its charm to me it does not belong in a game like hn3 where text is so important

[green storm]

yeah, specially we don't have any audio log or voice-line

but I think that traslation to other languajes should be appropiate

like Spanish, Russian, French, etc

Hey guys

I think that is curious to see that there are weird tracks in the town leading to the Museum

and a garage upstreet

I could imagine that Raven Brook had a small tram system which connected the town square with the museum

I think that the final way to get to the museum is make to Jacob repair a Tram cart to cross safety a forest part and go there

[bright birch]

Where do I go to find the cook book?

[ripe fjord]

Post office

[ripe fjord]

Isn’t it mentioned that there are mines running under the whole town in the show? Could be possible those tracks are remnants of the mine carts. Which, honestly, doesn’t add much to what you said, but found it kinda neat.

[bright birch]

Where is the post office located?

[green storm]

up street

is a blue building next to the cable car station

[bright birch]

Ok, thanks

[green storm]

Sorry but I didn't see the animated show, and I don't think Nikita want to add anything about the show in the game

but I think that Raven Brooks used to have a tram system in the past could fit

in old days Golden Apple had a lot of influence in the town, making so much investment in the infraestructure to attrack more visitors to the town

[ripe fjord]

Fair enough. This is literally my first time interacting with the whole of the Hello Neighbor community, so excuse me if I’m not too well versed about things lol

[green storm]

don't worry

this is practically my attempt to be more active in this community XD

[river monolith]

Who completed pre alpha already?

Without YT

[nocturne jacinth]

me 🙂

[river monolith]

fr?

[nocturne jacinth]

still me 🙂

[nocturne jacinth]

yeah

why?

[river monolith]

Woah

Idk just interesting

I opened it for 2 mins

And closed

[nocturne jacinth]

its like playable now

[river monolith]

Cuz I was sad that they changed the broken doors system

Now it’s more harder to break it

:(((

[nocturne jacinth]

well

[grim lark]

Me

[nocturne jacinth]

use a different way

[river monolith]

Yea

[river monolith]

Wdym?

[nocturne jacinth]

like the game is made to be completed in maybe different ways

[river monolith]

Oh that’s what u mean

Yea

I will try to

But I’m sure that the game is going to take a lot of time lol

[nocturne jacinth]

are you saying you liked it when it was easier to break down doors?

[river monolith]

No of course no

[winged glade]

anyone tryna hop in a call

who speedruns

or just wanna talk about hn3

[nocturne jacinth]

yes bro

[river monolith]

Just it’s kinda strange that almost broken looking door, is now not breaking by the idk

Some stuff like uuuuh

Forgot the word

lol

[nocturne jacinth]

both

[winged glade]

alr in vc?

[river monolith]

Not now

At school at the moment

[river monolith]

Crowbar

Finally remembered

[manic lichen]

Bro go away 😭

[grim lark]

That shot looks terrifying…

Could use it for a steam image

[manic lichen]

the worst part is that he's still looking at me..

[green storm]

I think devs could improve the walking/sprint mechanic, making the normal walking speed a bit faster than the current speed, but putting an stamina bar when the player want to run.

I feel walking in the game too slow

[grim lark]

But the ais sure feel fast

[green storm]

and it's uncomfortable keeping press control all the time

[manic lichen]

I feel like its pretty fast and tbh look the character bro they skipped every day.

[sleek moat]

neighbs with gloves

[deft summit]

my god it feels so cursed on Olderson

[low gate]

I made gloves for him by using his boots and retexturing his hands

[sleek moat]

i just extened his wristed

[low gate]

These ones i made

[sleek moat]

oh damn

[deft summit]

question

does he have audio clips like

grunting

[sleek moat]

yes

[low gate]

Yeah

[sleek moat]

i have alot of them

[deft summit]

do we know who the actor is

[low gate]

He sounds like HN2 neighbor

[deft summit]

I'm just curious if it's the same as a previous actor that's shown up

[sleek moat]

some of them are the ame actor

some are januzs

[deft summit]

so HN3 has some audio clips of a previous game then..?

ok yeah I hear some of the HN2 clips

the cough is about the same

if not just the exact clip used

does this mean when he gets full clips it'll be a different actor..? or will it be the same actor

[sleek moat]

i think actors are finalized

like i have some

[low gate]

defintely not

[sleek moat]

i can share them to you

[deft summit]

sure

[steep slate]

just finished the game basically on my own

its very odd

also the game runs very not well on my computer and the npcs seem completely useless... idk if this is a common experience

[winged glade]

i just got sub 1 minute

[sleek moat]

how long exactly

[winged glade]

59

wait in milliseconds?

if so 59.62

[sleek moat]

ok

you beat world record !!!

[winged glade]

oh what

wait i can send the clip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaWJckZicTM

[sleek moat]

yo w

[winged glade]

wait thats world record?

fr?

[sleek moat]

i think

[winged glade]

i frogot they removed pre alpha hello neighbor 3 on speedrun.com

[sleek moat]

why

[sleek moat]

oh weird

[winged glade]

yeah

idk if i have world record but thats still crazy

oh wait

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSajj9QdXmw

this guy has it

[sleek moat]

oh

[celest plank]

they almost achieved it with this build

[river gyro]

so much better

[grim lark]

Yes oh my god

Give him the gloves back

[river gyro]

it looks even better than the original HN3 model.

peak

[deft summit]

I really don't like it because his hands are so much bigger here

they work when his hands are more proportionate

[river gyro]

mhm

[deft summit]

but because he is so old it wouldn't work to make them smaller, because older people tend to have skinnier arms so his hands being bigger give him that old look

[river gyro]

mh

[deft summit]

also there's story reasons for him to not have the gloves so as a result I just can't associate the iconic gloves to his Olderson design as easily

I got used to his Olderson design

[river gyro]

yeah

[river gyro]

can't believe olderson is the bay old gloveless beaker

[deft summit]

Idk just character design stuff

[trim reef]

Okay.

I have finished my observations of this release.

Here is my opinion.

This atmosphere is great, I adore this art style. I also am very fond of the main protagonist, Alma Hoffman, and the plot we follow. I was unfortunately disappointed by how crappy the NPC’s were this time around. I fear most of what changed was the plot, and I see little to no improvement on the NPC’s. They’re constantly getting stuck, hearing me take steps from different rooms, and just beating me up non-stop. Also, items are way too weak. Let’s be realistic, a door would not break a crowbar/handsaw halfway through health in real life. I also find getting around the map is very hard because of the fact that I have to parkour to get to certain places time and time again—regardless of the insanely strict and bipolar fall damage. I have also noticed doors coming off of hinges without even using an item on it, or NPC’s clipping through locked doors.

[deft summit]

oh

well I had an answer to your question but

it's gone now

I guess it was too off topic though so understandable

[last lotus]

Is there any way to restart the objectives?

[trim reef]

Another thing is the new objectives system just doesn’t help that much. Not wanting hand holding while still having a ton of complex things that need to get done to finish the main story is hard, but we got way too much of nothing with these objectives and notes, and it was like following candy into a pit of doom and confusion.

[last lotus]

Is there anything in the amusement park

[grim lark]

Not incredibly much except what almost looks like an explosion happened there (nothing blew up afaik, its just the way it looks)

There’s the Guest roaming his territory.

And ofc, the place we’ve lost so long ago, right at the outskirt of the park:

||Mayak||

[last lotus]

Huh, I was actually expecting something there lol, with how big it is especially

[grim lark]

I might be missing something…?

Very possible

[last lotus]

There probably isn't much, you can find some useful stuff there though, I found a wrench for example

Also I have to assume the npcs currently in the game are here for demonstration and the others will be added back later

Just speculation though since I noticed the NPCs currently here are the ones who heavily interact with the environment

[restive oxide]

kinda
iris was removed because she can't be fit into the story currently
they just didnt have time for isaac

[grim lark]

Janusz was already a big deal atm

[last lotus]

I hope they don't cut her out tbh, with how many houses there are having a few background npcs wouldn't hurt

[gentle carbon]

well the doors being hard to break is just to get you to not break them, or get the sledgehammer for them specifically

[loud canyon]

she will return in future builds

[last lotus]

That's good

Btw how do you knock out npcs

I know you could do that in p3

[loud canyon]

throw items

[gentle carbon]

They are really just to tell you where to go

and they give more then that

ojectives are personally not even that confusing

[last lotus]

They weren't for me either

[gentle carbon]

everything is a fetch quest, which is a problem I have right now I hope for more puzzle like things later

like literally everything is fetch quest or figuring out which window to go through

I wish making progress wasn’t so tedious… I’ll spend half an hour just running around the map trying to memorize where to find the tools I need and another half trying to avoid the ridiculously aggressive NPCs. They feel less like people living in the world and more like murder bots 😭

The stealth is also very jank, I wish there were actual mechanics involved with sneaking around like timed events or something

[gentle carbon]

yeah a lot of it is just memorizing the layouts and placements, stealth is basically no existent as long as the NPCs can move at the speed of light and phase through blocked areas

[manic lichen]

wait does this game have acts?

[gusty elbow]

hey yall, just wondering, where exactly in the supermarket is the stockroom? I'm in the top floor, just made it to the button to shut off the buildings security, but like idk where to go from here cause I don't remember seeing any security doors

oh nevermind I just had to pickup a note

[gentle carbon]

did you get the one about the delivery

[gusty elbow]

Maybe? Idk

The note I picked up cleared the objective so good enough for me lol

[river gyro]

hello neighbor

[gentle carbon]

well it tells you how to do the baker guys objective

to make him friendly

and not die

[gusty elbow]

Oh the note about the uhhh main room package?

Yeah I saw that one

[river gyro]

[gentle carbon]

not really a reason to befriend him, besides doing everything

[river gyro]

I didnt expect to see Januz kill himself in hn3 pre-alpha

[gusty elbow]

It made getting the sledgehammer from his house easier when I was doing that earlier at least

[river gyro]

Januz is too handsome to die

[winged glade]

GUYS

I ALMOST GOT WR

57.95

[vestal oyster]

so you can just get softlocked here by the guard booth/coaster

hills are too steep to climb

[steep sand]

I wonder, how many Alphas are there going to be before the final release of the game?

[sand flare]

i feel like they really need to work on navigation mabye when you press m it shoes a map of everyewhere in raven brooks and a realtime location of you

so then you can navigate easier and make everywhere less claustraphobic

i cant stand being in a small cluttered house i feel like the navigation of hello neighbour 2 was easy you always knew where to go what to do i feel like they need to make what you need to do and where you need to go a bit more obvious

as i couldnt find the cable cars for a whole 2 sessions beacuse it was blended in with the other buildings and i was claustraphobic

and they need to make the amusment park more easier to navigate beacuse everywhere you go the guest is there and there is no path at the end of the cable carts

[winged glade]

I GOT WORLD RECORD

[sand flare]

so i have-not even found the weather station yet

[winged glade]

I WORLD RECORD

[sand flare]

?

[winged glade]

WORLD RECORD SPEEDRUN

56.38

[severe merlin]

Have you managed to find maps standing around the town?

[sand flare]

yes they helped a bit but it was still a bit confusing on where everything was as i knew where the cable carts kinda were but i couldnt find them until i watched a video

[winged glade]

56.38

holy

[sand flare]

i have made it to the amusement park but no further

i think the idea of hn3 is AMAZING it is just very hard compared to the other games and no check points makes it a lot harder but i know that the time loops are part of the game and i think it goes really well with hello neighbour 3

[steep sand]

Awesome
