Also hey i just noticed there's a gap between the words "guest" and "fan" in your name why is that?

[tepid lynx]

guestfan

[near hawk]

No there's two gaps

Like more than there should be

[tepid lynx]

error

[crude ravine]

Beating hn3 pre alpha is hard, there is one reason

[limpid pewter]

hmm

[crude ravine]

The reason is...

Jacop

[tepid lynx]

because its meant to be as hard as hello neighbor 3 act 3 fr

[crude ravine]

He found me at museum 🥀

[near hawk]

Yes

[crude ravine]

And keeps throw item

[crude ravine]

Hn3 act 3?

[limpid pewter]

we need iris back for jacob

so he can cool off

[untold grotto]

am i the only one that didnt have problems with jacob

[limpid pewter]

tbf i also didnt

[keen bluff]

can you send ur pfp

i wanna use it

[crude ravine]

Prolly

[keen bluff]

later

[crude ravine]

He starts attack to me for no reason

[tepid lynx]

oops

hn1 act 3

[crude ravine]

Hn1 act 3 is easy

[limpid pewter]

we are so back

[tepid lynx]

yeah so

try doing it without a tutorial

[keen bluff]

send me ur previous pfp

[limpid pewter]

ok

[keen bluff]

thx

[tepid lynx]

and then try doing it when u dont remember the puzzles

now try doing it

[crude ravine]

Beating without tuto is possible

[tepid lynx]

would take over a day

[tepid lynx]

how are u meant to know ur meant to freeze the earth orb by using the fridge in nicky roths house dude

[civic totem]

Janusz

[crude ravine]

U dont need it for example

[hoary heath]

Bro janusz so good

[limpid pewter]

old proto 3 image

[tepid lynx]

how are u meant to know u have to put water in a watering can or kettle and then heat it up but not too much to then water the frozen keycard

[crude ravine]

One of the best character in hn3

[hoary heath]

Bro Bob Novak who

[untold grotto]

GA employee with bright fame

[crude ravine]

Not harder than hn3 p3 exploring lol

[civic totem]

True but he kills himself

[limpid pewter]

missing ga employee

[tepid lynx]

def harder

[limpid pewter]

who prob got ate by fd

[untold grotto]

i think he got killed by the neighbor

[echo fulcrum]

Where is the gun?

[tepid lynx]

whoever beat act 3 hn1 first is albert einstein

[limpid pewter]

i think neighbor gave him to fd

[crude ravine]

An ga employee who wanted eat ted's shovel

[limpid pewter]

or neighbor beat him with shovel

[untold grotto]

well in-game the neighbor does not kill other npcs

he might not kill bob too

[echo fulcrum]

where is the gun?

[tepid lynx]

isnt there a hello neighbor movie coming out

[crude ravine]

u mean item thrower?

[echo fulcrum]

yes there is

[limpid pewter]

yes

[tepid lynx]

how many movies are there gonna be

[limpid pewter]

jacobs workshop

[echo fulcrum]

yes

[crude ravine]

Unknown

[untold grotto]

one

[limpid pewter]

we dont know

top floor

[echo fulcrum]

I just want to kill everyone honestly

[untold grotto]

but alex have said he has ideas for trilogy if they pull off the first movie

[tepid lynx]

is it gonna be better than fnaf movies

[crude ravine]

Second floor of jacop's house

[echo fulcrum]

thx

[untold grotto]

no clue honestly

the production doesnt even started

[tepid lynx]

didnt*

🔥

[untold grotto]

does not

[tepid lynx]

does not even started does not make sense

ur looking for : didnt even start

[untold grotto]

the production does not even started

🙃

[tepid lynx]

makes no sense

[limpid pewter]

what do yall think is better proto 3 version of certain locations or pre alpha versions

[untold grotto]

clearly p3 cinema was better

they get rid of the underground tunnels

[crude ravine]

museum

[limpid pewter]

really sad all of proto 3 lore got thrown out

[civic totem]

That's crazy

[untold grotto]

not all of it

the festival will be comeback

and probably vandals sacrifacing isaac thing will also comeback

[limpid pewter]

i mean stuff like endings

[untold grotto]

well yeah

but the neighbor destroying statue is also not scrapped or something

the keyart still didnt changed

[tepid lynx]

smacks it with shovel

[limpid pewter]

yall is it just me or does pre alpha feels a bit rushed idk how to say it

[tepid lynx]

yeah

thats because it is

[limpid pewter]

like needed more polished

[tepid lynx]

they should honestly take more time on this game so it doesnt turn out like the second dissapointment of a game

[crude ravine]

I thought pre alpha is just advanced version of p3

[limpid pewter]

i mean hn2 fg wasnt bad just extremly underwhelming

[tepid lynx]

hn2 was never even finished

💔

[limpid pewter]

act 2 was scrapped

[tepid lynx]

hn2 alpha 1.5 is way better

[tepid lynx]

than hn2

ngl

[limpid pewter]

idk

[tepid lynx]

thye changed the guest lore

they scrapped neighbor being guest

they scrapped the ruins of the neighbors house

like

[limpid pewter]

that was scrapped since alpha 2

[tepid lynx]

they scrapped basically everything

[crude ravine]

Tb changed everything

[tepid lynx]

LITERALLY

idc im hiring like 10 devs to remake hello neighbor 1.5 but make it look like a FULL OFFICIAL GAME that uses the old hn2 lore

[crude ravine]

Thats not fully alexus' fault

[limpid pewter]

hn3 is kinda the hn2 we were meant to get but not exactly

[limpid pewter]

yeah but mostly him

[tepid lynx]

completely diff btw

[crude ravine]

different person (i wont say his name) changed the story

[limpid pewter]

not really

[limpid pewter]

ceo

well his story aint bad

just unfinished

[crude ravine]

I prefer nikita's stories

[untold grotto]

it was scrapped way before hn2a1

[limpid pewter]

obv differences but some stuff will be sorta similar

[untold grotto]

yeah the franklin story is based off nikita's story in a way

[tepid lynx]

what we were meant to have :
what we were meant to have in ur logic :

very rushed but yk

[limpid pewter]

like mayak and ref to gray manor and ga park

[limpid pewter]

what

[tepid lynx]

u heard me

[limpid pewter]

dude i didnt say they would be exact same

old concepts from hn2 will be brought back

[tepid lynx]

we were meant to have

an attraction

an attraction park

[limpid pewter]

i dont mean hn3 is litterally the hn2 we were meant to get

[tepid lynx]

the neighbor covering his identity by cosplaying as the guest

[tepid lynx]

quentin exploring the neighbors house after exploring the festival

like

[untold grotto]

what festival

[tepid lynx]

we were meant to have so much more than an old grandpa with a shovel and a whole diffirent town

[limpid pewter]

huh

[meager walrus]

thats not hn2 tho thats hello guest

[tepid lynx]

i mean in alpha 1.5 and stuff

[tepid lynx]

arent they in the same universe

[limpid pewter]

what are you saying 😭

[meager walrus]

no

[untold grotto]

hg is like early concept of hn2

[meager walrus]

hello guest is not in the same universe as hn2

[untold grotto]

that got scrapped

[limpid pewter]

hg is kinda its own thing ig

[crude ravine]

what are we talking about rn?

[tepid lynx]

theres a festival in hn2 alpha 1.5

[meager walrus]

i prefer it more then bug battle royale that was the hn2 alphas

[limpid pewter]

where ?

[untold grotto]

i dont think so

[tepid lynx]

talking about me missing hn2's old lore and concept

from alpha 1.15

1.15

[untold grotto]

its more like a halloween thing

[tepid lynx]

1.5

[limpid pewter]

what

[untold grotto]

instead of a festival

[crude ravine]

1.15 🔥

[tepid lynx]

ok so

if u look up and look at i believe north east

[limpid pewter]

right how did we go from me saying hn3 is kinda like the hn2 we were meant to get to hn2 old lore

[tepid lynx]

u should see a glimpse of the festival wheel

[limpid pewter]

thats the ga park ferris wheel

[tepid lynx]

which for some reason is still rolling

[untold grotto]

yeah thats ga

[tepid lynx]

yeah

[untold grotto]

festival wasnt even a thing since hn3 prototype 1

[civic totem]

HN3 DOES in fact re-use many old, scrapped concepts from HN2

[tepid lynx]

we talkin bout hn2 1.5

[untold grotto]

rbo didnt had festival i believe

[civic totem]

There's no festival in Alpha 1.5

[untold grotto]

still it was not the festival or something

[tepid lynx]

yeahhh but i just miss the hn1 artstyle they used for hn2

[limpid pewter]

my brain is on fire

[tepid lynx]

even if it was a kinda twisted artstyle of it

the hn3 artstyle just

dissapoints me

[limpid pewter]

🤦‍♂️

[meager walrus]

hn1 artstyle for hn2? ooooh

you mean newart

hn1 newart isnt finalized

[limpid pewter]

hn2 old art ?

[tepid lynx]

its like

yeah

the old artstyle of it

[meager walrus]

oh

[crude ravine]

There is 2 artstyles for hn2

[meager walrus]

no

[limpid pewter]

yep

[tepid lynx]

yeah there is

[meager walrus]

no no no no no

[limpid pewter]

hg art style and beta to fg art style

[meager walrus]

the hn2 oldart looks nothing alike hn1s artstyle

[tepid lynx]

im talking about the hn1 arstyle that was kinda a mix of like a more old swamp version

of it

[crude ravine]

I thought zac dont know old hn2 artstyle

[meager walrus]

hn2 oldart is extremely wonky

[tepid lynx]

it just looked more like

ok

i just think i miss seeing the neighbors house

and how it became muddy and swampy

and that we got the guest

being the neighbor

[untold grotto]

no

the guest was not the neighbor in hn2 or in its alphas

[tepid lynx]

i still like the new version of hn2 its just i like the artstyle of the guest and thing

[tepid lynx]

it was at some point

[untold grotto]

he was the guest in hello guest

[tepid lynx]

he like

in the trailer he threw the guests suit

into the fire

at some point

but im pretty sure that was meant to mean like "oh btw the guest being the neighbor is scrapped"

instead of it being "ooh the neighbor is the guest

LOL

[untold grotto]

hn2 alphas guest was a metaphor for storm

in hg the guest was the neighbor

[tepid lynx]

yeah

wait a minute

i just realized

thats why he knows how to use a fire exstinguisher

[civic totem]

Sure

[meager walrus]

a lack of knowledge on how to use a fire extinguisher tbh

the guest litereally both in the air and on land somehow manages to trip himself without quentin doing nothing

[tepid lynx]

LOL

he fell on his toe

thats why he tripped

[rigid jasper]

once for me in hn2 alpha 1.5 the guest tripped so hard he somehow phased into the floor above me

[quartz anchor]

So a few things i like and disllike about the pre Alpha
Like:
+Graphics
+Soundtrack
+New character designs
+Guest can be beaten and isn't a +menace like in prototypes.
+Neighbor because neighbor
+Mayak because Hello Guest
+Befriending people actually improves your gameplay and isn't just a cosmetic thing (spoiler, you can befriend the guest with bananas, not the neighbor tho)
Dislike:
-No cutscenes
-Golden Apple amusement park Has been torn Apart to the point its nearly impossible to move around, the guest can get you there easily. Unlike the prototype, there is no content there, no buildings, no npc's other than the guest. You just have to sprint throught it. It feels like they're scrapping hello guest from Hello Neighbor once again.
The game gives you no hints on how to befriend people.
-Ai is way too agrresive (Jacob's, Janusz). I'm fine with vandals ai they're meant to be hostile
-The guest just kills you now.
-The neighbor is supposed to be the big reveal but he is not a threat in the slightest.
-Items are way too fragile. Come on you're telling me steel will break from hitting a box 4 times? Without uet, this game is just flustrating.

Overall.
I dislike this version.
It's a downgrade from prototype 3 which had much more content, lore and exploration.
Hope they'll bring the good stuff back and listen to the feedback this time.

[celest plank]

we are asking for too many hints gang

[high brook]

hn3 isnt suppost to have cutscenes though?

nikita already said this kinda

[blissful river]

It’s not going to have gameplay cutscenes. It will have an opening cutscene and ending cutscenes.

[silk agate]

It isn’t new designs it is their near final version. In prototypes were Blockouts.

Guys, what's important in Isaac (Iris) and Coned’s houses?

[gleaming acorn]

The game gives you hints for every character detailing how to befriend them

[tawny yoke]

I think guest should kill for sure and the only way I see him not killing instantly is maybe trapping the player in a room and a player has limited time to escape but that would probably not go well with limited time session style of the game

[gleaming acorn]

you have to find them

[tawny yoke]

lever to the bridge is in coned's house I think

[silk agate]

No it in dorothey’s house

[tawny yoke]

oh

where is even her house

[gleaming acorn]

The NPCs aren't hostile if you aren't breaking into their houses and ruining their stuff big guy
Forcefeed them some cake if it's too much of an issue

[silk agate]

Jacob stalking to the amusement park I think it isn’t normal

[gleaming acorn]

He does that because he hates you

Because you did something, presumably

[silk agate]

In upper part of town

And in the basement is her childhood photo and in notes wrote “ in her house”

So I think it is her house

[tawny yoke]

oh I didnt know that

[silk agate]

I too

Somebody tell me that today

Before it I thought item to befriended Dorothy is in coned house but it in her house

I didn’t think they just added it to future because they baravicaded catacombs but no delete so I think what will be in the future don’t showed to us

[vestal oyster]

what's the point of being able to break some things like the vending machine if they don't actually get destroyed. Like i wanna make a path through the front entrance of the cinema but can't cause of it

[silk agate]

I think it made for you break you scrap and try in next run

Idk maybe it do for longer experience

I didn’t play prototypes so I can’t compare

[silk agate]

It's strange that if you open a cabinet and break it, it will break and disappear, but if you break another cabinet with a crowbar, the doors will simply fly off their hinges.

[vestal oyster]

you know, even though this isn't a horror game, it's still way creepier and sometime's scarier than every other previous hn game. Something about the lighting and the slightly wacky environments works really really well

I hope this feeling isn't lost when 3d assets start getting finalized

[silk agate]

YO

I agree

No games before was too scary like this time

You really scared the guest or smt like because his design is scary. these abnormal proportions are so good

[vestal oyster]

the cinema is really good

[silk agate]

It is golden mean between hn1 and realistic design. abnormal proportions from the hn1 and even stronger but without the cartoon style

[vestal oyster]

ignore the clipping tree

[silk agate]

You play game first time? Or just not pass it yet?

I envy you (in a good way) because I can't play at high settings.

[icy canyon]

Night time ambience in general looks really good.

[silk agate]

Fog, sparks, swinging trees and rarely lightning strikes really good

[ionic bay]

I hope it stays that way

[silk agate]

If you know a story a just a little a bit in particularly about storm you will understand it instantly

[icy canyon]

I'm going to see if my pc can handle it on high quality now actually since that image was taken in low quality

[silk agate]

No like the hn2 where if you know 75% of lore you didn’t understand at least smt

[silk agate]

Good luck

[vestal oyster]

I think my one genuine complaint with the pre-alpha is that there are like SO little fixing items (tape, screwdriver) Like I'm seeing so many spare flashlights and barely anything else

other than that I think this is the best build so far

[silk agate]

I think they put too much emphasis on the destruction system. It's not bad at all, but if you grab a hammer and a screwdriver, you can literally skip everything.

[icy canyon]

It runs even on epic surprisingly but definitely choppy, probably should restart my pc to see if that can't help.

Also true on the fixing part.

[silk agate]

What?

Which time?

Just I always restart after 22-23

[vestal oyster]

um

[quartz anchor]

How

[silk agate]

In night he can move around without restrictions?

[vestal oyster]

hello?

[silk agate]

Lamps?

[silk agate]

OK

I think it is a bug

[quartz anchor]

Huh?
Half life like ig

[silk agate]

So don’t real it possibly can be real without glitch

[quartz anchor]

Pre Alpha didin't have the opening and ending
While prototype 3 did

[gleaming acorn]

by exploring around and finding them
for instance, you get the first hint on how to befriend jacob without forcefeeding him into liking you in his house above the gas station, later getting the full guide once you actually complete the task

[silk agate]

Guys what story was in prototypes 1 and 2? in one sentence I never follow these

[vestal oyster]

random dude goes to raven brooks and has an adventure

[gleaming acorn]

you're new in town and storms a comin

[silk agate]

I am new inhabitant or just go to rb to some days?

[blissful river]

Yeah?

I didn’t say pre alpha did.

[gleaming acorn]

You're always a new person, it's one of the main things

[silk agate]

Ok thank

It I mean

[gleaming acorn]

All other games have you either being formerly from or actively living in Raven Brooks
You're a stranger in hn3

[silk agate]

Ok it just like I ask thank

[gleaming acorn]

np gang

[silk agate]

You think pre alpha has alternate ending?

You know that wheel ferris wheel can be start is it struck by lighting

[cloud isle]

I wanna see where Nicky's been man... What's he been up to since hello neighbor 1???

Anyone else wonder where Nicky is during HN2 and 3?

[trim reef]

I wonder a lot of things about HN1.

don’t we all

[spare trail]

i wonder, will the scarecrow feature from prototype 2 return to hello neighbor 3?

[vestal oyster]

weird how they bothered to make ted's house in this game just for fun but not nicky's

unless these bricks are the remains of his house

[icy canyon]

Man daytime looks so much better in high quality compared to low, just had to lower the view distance and the game's running pretty well

[vestal oyster]

they probably will cause they added the church in this build and the gas station but I hope the other background locations from hn1 return too. Would love to see the factory and school in hn3's style

[icy canyon]

It's so weird to me cause now areas that used to be bright are dark

[icy canyon]

Fear Factory in HN3 /j

[vestal oyster]

unless this is the factory

which would be kinda lame since it's so far from town and almost entirely destroyed

what's up with the guest cutouts

[tepid lynx]

ok so basically

i found these too

and

i believe the guest

was at the factory

before we came

or the vandals vandalized it

[rigid jasper]

golden apple turned guest into their mascot so its probably just promotional material of theirs
edit: considering they own almost the entire town they probably just put them here and there to promote their new amusement park in which nothing bad will happen

[tepid lynx]

ooohhhh

maybe

https://youtu.be/ziaf3RrG80U

[pseudo spoke]

Pretty sure this is referred to as a sawmill in the files

[tepid lynx]

absolute peak

[tepid lynx]

i did not know tha- THERES THE FILES NOW??

did yall use %appdata% for that

[icy canyon]

Game data like that isn't stored in %appdata%, that's where saved games go

[near meadow]

No I think the guest being more aggressive in the golden apple is perfect. Thats why you use the turbo mode for the flashlight

Even the sign says it in all caps in the hotel when you look at the GAAP poster

"DO NOT ENTER FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY" which means that place is VERY dangerous to be in.

The big RED "DANGER" on the paper too

I think the guest should be even more aggressive in the park honestly

I REALLY like the idea of there being no safe zones in the amusement park becaus now you're in HIS terrority. The guest's territory.

[boreal gazelle]

I don't get why hn3 models are so.. weird.

Peterson looks like a truck!

[jade night]

it would work, if the AI worked like Hello Guest AI, he doesn't ever run away, he's just always breathing down your neck.

[boreal gazelle]

I think he had a glow down

[rigid jasper]

to achieve uncanny atmosphere

[floral kettle]

Nothing supernatural seems too odd for me because like the concept of bad luck is already supernatural like, you can manipulate fate and you call that not supernatural?

[quartz sequoia]

he looks so silly

[quartz sequoia]

he's literally 85

I wonder what Theodore's 3D blockout model looks like

[boreal gazelle]

He had better times

[blissful river]

So peak

[deft summit]

yeah cause he's in his 80s now and his health is at an all time low

[deft summit]

honestly I'm curious too

maybe he was the first one they finished fully

[quartz sequoia]

yeah but they all have a 3d blockout phase dont they?

to visualize the general design

[blissful river]

Yeah but he wasn’t made during P1 and 2 as he wasn’t even in the game yet.

His model was made for prototype 3.

[quartz sequoia]

there still could be screenshots

cause you dont just go straight to the final model

[blissful river]

Sure, I mean I doubt anything was in use that was unfinished because he was only see in the ending cutscene.

[quartz sequoia]

do you know what I'm even asking

I mean like

inprogress screenshots

[blissful river]

That’s not what it sounded like:)

You said blockout model

[quartz sequoia]

yeah

a blockout is part of the progress

it is a rough draft

[blissful river]

Sure, but in this specific case all the other characters had specific block out models that got used in game before their final models. What I was saying, is that the neighbor most likely never got a blockout model that got used in game.

That’s all.

[quick crow]

||anyone know how to fix historians AI so when I give her, her photo she actually lights the fireworks?||

[quick crow]

||How come the thing says If I give it to her she'll launch fireworks||

@polar linden

[oblique parcel]

Ngl after playing Pre Alpha i have to say

While i do got a lot of issues i still absolutely love how hn3 is shaping up rn

[restive oxide]

unfinished side quest

it's not fully working yet

[oblique parcel]

I feel like this is gonna be the hn game im gonna end up replaying the most

[celest plank]

to some extent it feels like hn2

where you gotta go to different houses to do something like you get me right

except hn3 basically does not limit you from doing anything

[near hawk]

Feels like HN2 but it's fun

[celest plank]

hn2 forces you to do things in a certain order

also what i sorta didnt like about the pre alpha is

when you collect all the notes and like

basically get a hang of what you need to do now

from there on no matter how much you replay the game you just wont be needing to take those notes anymore

||youll just go straight to the museum||

which is a massive shortcut

it was highkey fun to do all the stealth in different buildings to get the notes but you just dont need to do that anymore

[grim lark]

Your previous playthrough was there for it

[celest plank]

you wouldnt know before collecting the notes

[oblique parcel]

Yeah cause PERSONALLY

I Didnt find hn2 fun at all

[grim lark]

The reason why every run is only 30 minutes long is bc they are all part of the same experience

[near hawk]

Same, except for the Guset area, that was cool.

[celest plank]

imo the experience just gets shorter every time

[oblique parcel]

Hn2 had me feeling extremely bored especially on replaythroughs

[grim lark]

HN2 was the most mundane thing I’ve ever played

[celest plank]

hn2 has a very scripted gameplay

[near hawk]

Because it's too linear

You can't Pick up many items other than what is needed for gameplay with a few exceptions

[celest plank]

it sucks we never got the hn2 nikita envisioned

id love to see more of that hg artstyle

[near hawk]

I would want the full yellow press storyline

And it to be canon yes

[oblique parcel]

Im gonna be honest i prefer hn3 over old hn2 at this point but yeah that would have been cool

[celest plank]

at the same time

if nikita stayed around would hn3 be a thing

[near hawk]

HN3 is much cooler than old HN2

[celest plank]

later on

[near hawk]

Hmm

[oblique parcel]

Hn3 Pre Alpha is MILES better than hn2 alpha 1

Imo

[jade night]

and RBO is the coolest of both

[celest plank]

my fav hn build is hn2 alpha 1.5

besides the pre alpha of hn3

theyre lowkey on the same level

alpha 1 of hn3 will probably atomize hn2 alpha1.5

[near hawk]

Prototype 3 is my favourite of unfinished builds

[grim lark]

HN2 Alpha1.5 (and 1.0) was my favorite build

[celest plank]

ive never played rbo but from what it seems the concept is kinda over rated

like its just mostly secret neighbor but hn3

[near hawk]

Rbo is fun but it's not better than HN3 imo

[grim lark]

Because there was just so much you could see just from the Guest’s behavior when he’s not busy cawing after you

[jade night]

No?

lol

[celest plank]

really similar premise

[near hawk]

WRONG!

[jade night]

Talking about RBO after the prototype, Pre Alpha phase

[grim lark]

(Please bring back cameraa)

[restive oxide]

honestly
idk whether i prefer hn3 over hn2 or not
they both have their pros and cons
personally i think i like hn2 more
at least for now

[celest plank]

rbo would very quickly end up being some hello engineer type of

spinoff game

that would die really soon

[near hawk]

No

[restive oxide]

no

the concept isn't even like HE

[celest plank]

i know

[near hawk]

Everyone loved RBO.
Everyone was hype for RBO.

[celest plank]

im just saying it'd have the same fate as HE

[near hawk]

Was it the same for Hello Engineer?

[celest plank]

well everyone loves secret neighbor until it died out

[restive oxide]

that's every multiplayer game

what's your point

[celest plank]

yeah which is why rbo wouldnt work in the grand scheme of things

youd need to be a really popular multiplayer game like among us to last

[restive oxide]

then why does anyone make multiplayer games
your argument makes no sense

[celest plank]

its their choice but its risky

[restive oxide]

you realize
every game
no matter how popular
dies at some point

so who cares what kind of game it is

[celest plank]

hn3 does not need to have a certain amount of players to be playable though

once rbo were to die out its over pretty much

[jade night]

You could team up with friends to sneak into randomly generated houses, take apart furniture, collect resources and items, and stash them in boxes to bring to your car.
(I assume the Guest would have a role where he'd randomly appear and squad wipe a lobby lol).
You would then settle at your home base, furnishing your house and crafting items, getting ready for the next heist, but then a storm will randomly come and once that happens, a group of vandals will invade your house and steal back from you, this was the core gameplay loop. If I remember correctly there would be people trapped in the vandal bases jail too that you could save, and RBO could be played single player! multi player wasn't necessary.

the visuals and style were really nice and clean, it would have been so fun to go into a house, survey the layout, and communicate with your friends via the walkie talkie, and avoid vandals.

[restive oxide]

rbo would've done really really well
and maintained a few people who play frequently.

that's the best you can hope for from a game

[celest plank]

yeah like

[jade night]

It would have a lot of replay value since it could be played single player aswell, and houses bases were randomly generated

[restive oxide]

a game isn't dead till no one is playing
if you still have like 30 people frequently play for several years, I'd call that a minor shccess

[celest plank]

hn3 just seems better

[restive oxide]

yea

[jade night]

Meh

I also prefer the music from RBO rather than HN3, theres even unreleased tracks from RBO on the HN3 Tv sounds and it's amazing

[restive oxide]

i do agree
I'm just saying that, your argument falls flat with more thought. obviously rbo would've died after a bit
so will every game ever eventually.
that's no reason to not make a game.
it's also not even why they changed it to hn3

[near hawk]

Well they did change to HN3 due to them not knowing how to make a multiplayer iirc.

[restive oxide]

yes
not because it would fail

a bigger studio told them multiplayer was a bad idea

[celest plank]

i dont think theyd pull it off at all

at least what was planned

[grim lark]

I loved HN2A1.5 for a reason I thought no one would get. I mean, who else in this world enjoys a game not trying to get to an objective (like getting to the attic), but by doing nothing but watching the Guest do his things and exploring the world where nothing is actually happening?

[restive oxide]

they would've
if they really wanted

[celest plank]

yeah in like 5 years

[jade night]

But RBO could have been single player aswell, it's a solid concept that works in single player if they tweak a few things for narrative reasons

[restive oxide]

most games take that long bro

[celest plank]

then longer

[restive oxide]

hn3 has already been cooking for 2

[celest plank]

rbo wouldve took longer than usual

[restive oxide]

it wouldn't

[jade night]

keep in mind someone made RBO with smooth working multiplayer in a few days to a week

😔

[celest plank]

nikit lichally like said it

[restive oxide]

idk how long you think it takes to make functional multiplayer

[jade night]

.

lol

[restive oxide]

but it isn't 5 years

[restive oxide]

yeah

[jade night]

Not at all time consuming

20 people were making RBO

Now if one person can do it decently in a week, 20 can do much more in like 3 years

[restive oxide]

time consuming and difficult doesn't mean 5 years for multiplayer

[celest plank]

so why did they scrap it

[restive oxide]

a bigger studio who has made multiplayer games told them it was a bad idea

[celest plank]

not saying exactly 5 years

so yeah im also saying its a bad idea

[restive oxide]

your reason for it being a bad idea is that it takes forever
which it doesn't

[celest plank]

thats not the reason

[restive oxide]

it's what you said

[celest plank]

one of the things i said

[restive oxide]

.

[celest plank]

yeah still

[restive oxide]

and that it would've flopped

[near hawk]

Nikita himself said they wouldn't pull it off in a reasonable amount of time

[celest plank]

marketing that game wouldve been so hard

[restive oxide]

i mean
no

[celest plank]

like secret neighbor got popular because hn as a franchise was pretty popular

[restive oxide]

rbo would be the same
it's also hn mind you

[celest plank]

once it died it died

[restive oxide]

people still play it

[celest plank]

not really a ton

[restive oxide]

ok

so

[celest plank]

it could be considered a dead game by now

judging by what it used to be

[restive oxide]

once again
that's
every game
at some point

[celest plank]

at some point yeah

but a lot of games just die in the foreseeable future

gtg

[near hawk]

The Guset sounds in devlog 1 are very satisfying for some reason

[quick crow]

OH GOD WHAT DID I DO

[manic lichen]

bro, I just hate the museum. its just 1 throw and thats it you get caught you have to restart because its so tall

[restive oxide]

what's with the 2 janusz

[quick crow]

thats his ghost lol

[restive oxide]

what

[mint dome]

genuinely been playing for 3 hours just on the museum

[stray abyss]

I so badly want hn3 to be good

Like I can see something good in pre alpha

It's just a little blurry

[quick crow]

anyone know if theres a photo of the bakers ||Wife|| somewhere in the map?

[limpid pewter]

no there isnt

[crude ravine]

Dont enter to first floor

Or dont take an item from museum

[light tapir]

i think to make hn3 better some puzzles should be added

[light tapir]

yes but in the pre alpha there wasnt any type of puzzles to solve

[exotic pewter]

I feel HN3 is hard

[stoic monolith]

I find the buildings not the best to be chased in tbh

[summer sand]

Nikita I'd like to ask you about game endings in release. Will endings in final game be like in fallout new vegas. Where all your choices showing in the end and telling you consequences of your actions? Will karma system affect endings?

[severe merlin]

We have one new character actually! I might share images in the upcoming weeks

[lunar trail]

huh

[severe merlin]

Can’t share such info, sorry

[lunar trail]

we still have new characters?

i thought this was gonna be it for a while

in terms of characters i mean

[near hawk]

Bob Novak?

[severe merlin]

This character was created as a part of the core story. Even before pre-Alpha. It’s just only recently we adding this character to the game

[severe merlin]

Nope. It’s local citizen

[main wharf]

So we know this character or its like a whole new person for hn3?

[lunar trail]

interesting

[severe merlin]

Whole new

[ionic bay]

Does it play a major role and will it be an NPC?

[severe merlin]

Hm, not sure how to answer
Who out of current character-set you consider a “major role” and who’s “NPC”?

[ionic bay]

Will more than one new character be added?

[near hawk]

I assume NPC is like Teddy, Janusz, Historian, the Guest, characters that are on the map and have ai and tasks and such.

[pine arrow]

just wait and see

[crude ravine]

Hell yeah

[near hawk]

Nikita said they had one new character, so i assume for now it's just one

[ionic bay]

concept drawing?

[light tapir]

nikita why are npc phasing through doors

[ionic bay]

This problem has been solved.

[light tapir]

when

[ionic bay]

Nikita said the problem was solved in the new version

[light tapir]

yeah when did he say that

[untold grotto]

is this guy some sort of replacement of iris

[ionic bay]

Almost a week

[light tapir]

ah ok

[ionic bay]

So will it come with the original 3D model or a blockout?

[celest plank]

whoah what

are we getting a new character

[ionic bay]

Janusz plays an important role

[ionic bay]

Exactly

[empty shell]

Oooo new character

[celest plank]

we have like 7 characters right now

[light tapir]

nikita are you saying there will be no puzzles in final game

[celest plank]

8 if you count iris

[celest plank]

there are no puzzles in hn3

[light tapir]

i know but i hope they will add puzzles at some point

i dont want it to be a puzzle game but having a few will make it more fun

[tepid lynx]

hey quick question

is the hello neighbor 2 version of the neighbors house the real house nicky truly saw?

[lunar trail]

both of those are the same house

[untold grotto]

theres no real house

[tepid lynx]

the inside is diffirent

[tepid lynx]

we'll never know i guess

[lunar trail]

yea but that's because of gameplay

[frosty gyro]

so yall are in the process of modelling him?

[untold grotto]

theres no "canon" design of houses or town

[lunar trail]

canonically they're the same house

[untold grotto]

it changes because of gameplay and narrative elements

design wise

[tepid lynx]

i ont care bout gameplay i want the interesting stuff 💔

anyway

[lunar trail]

yea interesting stuff if you mean storywise, theyre indeed the same house

[tepid lynx]

wait so

did nicky ever actually get on a ladder outside the neighbors house just to get on the roof thingy to then break a window to then go through a hole with a car key in it

or was that also distortedf

[untold grotto]

act 1 is real events, though i wouldnt take the all of the gameplay itself as some kind of narrative thing or something

[tepid lynx]

WHAAAA

so ur telling me like

a 5 year old child somehow has the courage to break a window

[untold grotto]

13

or something

[tepid lynx]

same thing

hes crazy

its crazy what he became

[light tapir]

ok bro just shut up

[celest plank]

zero out of ten rage bate

[tepid lynx]

fr

[celest plank]

<@&1162799252192379000> highkey

[tepid lynx]

this ragebait sucks

[lunar trail]

ragebait when it cant bait or even rage

[empty shell]

😭

[celest plank]

there he goes

[tepid lynx]

welp

[lunar trail]

and die in less than a minute

[tepid lynx]

fly high

[celest plank]

atomized

[empty shell]

eerie guest studios is cooking 🔥

[late scroll]

it’s good enough

@broken galleon

[broken galleon]

Hi

[tall sorrel]

what.

there's MORE characters?

[near meadow]

GOOD

YES

[crude ravine]

yes

it should be bc there is so many empty houses

[light tapir]

nikita are you saying there will be no puzzles in final game

[near hawk]

So are there any roles that no current characters fulfill?

[broken galleon]

…

Hopefully never

[rigid jasper]

I headcanon the name of Almas dad is Victor Hoffman

[near meadow]

Nicky needs to be in the game tooo later on ngl

[nimble walrus]

I think he moved out to a different place...

[near meadow]

Literally what? Then what was the point of him moving back in act 3?

That ending SHOWED he was gonna live there again

[nimble walrus]

He moved in back because he got letter about rent if I am guessing

Do we know the year when Act 1 happened?

Because we know that HN3 takes place in 2028

[grim lark]

1997

In book timeline, it’s 1996

[near meadow]

I think he should relevant to the story tied to aaron or whats left of him

Can you imagine if he WAS in the game and is the only npc aaronguest doesn’t attack?

[nimble walrus]

We also know that Act 3 happens in 2015

[near hawk]

Or 2017

Both dates were given

[nimble walrus]

Or yeah that year

But yeah Act 3 is before HN3, so we don't even know if Nicky is even alive or still in raven brooks roaming around, living in same house and stuff.

[near hawk]

Actually wait If act 1 does take place in 1997 then act 3 would be in 2016

[nimble walrus]

Hopefully we do see Nicky or at least his house in HN3

[near hawk]

Because Nikita only said that act 3 was 19 years after acts 1 and 2, not specifically 2015

It's not sadly.
It's a whole new character.

[nimble walrus]

I feel like we also need to see the raven brooks news building

[near hawk]

It's a whole new character

[celest plank]

guys who are the people in the prototype 3 ending

in that one ending

where its like

newspaper or something

[nimble walrus]

We don't know

[celest plank]

i think it plays when you die to the storm

[nimble walrus]

No one knows

[near hawk]

Randos prolly

[celest plank]

yeah but i mean

[grim lark]

Irrelevent people

[celest plank]

they had to model and rig allose

[near hawk]

Maybe they saw Raven Brooks and they're telling their own stories or something.

[nimble walrus]

Every single one used Iris's model

[near hawk]

They're all modified Iris.

[celest plank]

hoh

[nimble walrus]

Hopefully we will still spawn at bus stop in full game

Because currently it sort of doesn't make sense that we spawn instantly middle of the Raven Brooks

[rigid jasper]

guys alma drops down into raven brooks via parachute confirmed

[nimble walrus]

Battle bus

[near meadow]

That would be so cool

But maybe this is why nicky wont be added anytime soon

[near hawk]

I like spawning in center tbh.
At least for when time resets i think center spawn should stay.

[rigid jasper]

ya

[nimble walrus]

Maybe like when you start up new game. You start at bus stop and when you get to raven brooks, you get there checkpoint and that's where you will always respawn

[nimble walrus]

Would that be better?

[eager glade]

I GOT PINGED 3 TIMES

WHO

[light tapir]

in my opinion, the ideal number of npcs in hn3 is probably 15

[untold grotto]

in game it says it is 1997, but later nikita retconned it to be 1996 in reddit q&a

[radiant gorge]

Goodmorning

[bronze phoenix]

its 3pm for me but still good mornin

morning*

[eager glade]

cuz franklin is the supernatural guest

[near hawk]

Why is there 2 gaps between Guest and fan though...

[severe merlin]

I never said this. Center of the town is how it’s going to be.

[near hawk]

Sounds good for me.

[bronze phoenix]

is there gonna be a cutscene

[eager glade]

ask nikita

[bronze phoenix]

of how we get there

[eager glade]

[near hawk]

@Neekeetah why is Browny's username so werid
(Joke)

[celest plank]

are we going to spawn in a bus in our first playthrough

and after that we spawn at the town center

[eager glade]

its not weird

ho darree uu

[severe merlin]

We’ll see. But highly unlikely. Player will start from the center with the first session

[eager glade]

absolute bingobat

[near hawk]

Why is there such a gap between guest and fan in your name

[eager glade]

cuz discord

likesd gaps

[celest plank]

interesting cause i thought the intro cutscene will take place before we get to the city

also guys

when will pre alpha be closed

[eager glade]

i js think intro cutscene will be us leaving a building in the neighborhood

maybe hotel

or our dads house

[celest plank]

im kinda not a fan of that

why would we just spawn in the center of the town in our first session

[near hawk]

Because that's better

[celest plank]

unless the entire cutscene is gonna be us getting to the center of the town and then the gameplay begins

[near hawk]

Or the objectives tell us we're a newcomer

[eager glade]

true

[near hawk]

Just like in pre alpha

[celest plank]

but theres gonna be a cutscene at one point right

[severe merlin]

Obviously game won’t start with a randomly spawning in the middle of the town, without any explanation how you got there. Come on people.

[jolly mirage]

Is next build alpha 1 or pre alpha 2?

[light tapir]

will the map change or pre alpha is the final map

[primal wedge]

there will not pre-alpha 2 bro

[jolly mirage]

There was prototype 2 and 3 tho

[primal wedge]

pre-alpha is like alpha 0 and due to golden gamedev rules: after pre-alpha must be alpha 1 not a pre-alpha 2

[light tapir]

they will do as many builds as needed

[primal wedge]

do you wanna hear alpha 0 2?

[celest plank]

the map is final since prototype 3

[light tapir]

ah ok

i think the houses layout should change

they are so chaotic now

[celest plank]

i think theyre fine

[eager glade]

its just like makkah

except its very crowded

and is a desert

[light tapir]

the npc cant even chase you properly in some houses

[celest plank]

historian is really weird

i really like the cinema

[light tapir]

i think the houses should be more like proto 2 where the robots and the npc could chase you properly

[severe merlin]

Generally map layout won’t change. Some areas will be added, some reworked etc. but outline stays

[untold grotto]

jacob means supplanter (one who takes someone elses place)
and jacob is a squatter in the game

another example of names in hn3 that fit the narrative

[light tapir]

why are the little robots all over the map and not only inside houses

[untold grotto]

they are made by jacob for protecting the town

and citizens mostly doesnt like them so they wouldnt put it in their houses

[light tapir]

ah ok

[untold grotto]

they cant decide if they are protecting the area or terrorizing the area

[light tapir]

and also a problem is that cant npc chase you properly due to bad ai

[bold siren]

So there's gonna be a new character, I hope is a new vandal with a 🚦 as a head

[peak river]

if the Show gets any more seasons after S3, I wonder if it'll start to Have Hn3-esc designs

[untold grotto]

i personally think there is enough vandals

[bold siren]

I think we already had this conversation

[bold siren]

Idk, maybe we could get a story of a vandal that doesnt want to be a vandal anymore?

[river geyser]

beatrix

would be nice comeback

[bold siren]

She's like 3 meters underground

[river geyser]

wait fr

whats the lore

[bold siren]

She was Quentin's sister and he went missing while they were playing hide and seek

That's probably why Quentin is so obsessed with rescuing Aaron

[river geyser]

oh right wasnt there like a newspaper in the hn2 guest update map

[bold siren]

Exactly

[chilly sundial]

Nikita, by the way, will there be an alpha 1?

[river geyser]

most likely

[peak river]

Oh no Doubt

I'm guessing there'll be at least 2 Alphas before it enters Beta

[bold siren]

How are you so sure?

[river geyser]

i really hope they will add secrets in the game like they did in the first hello neighbor

[peak river]

Because HN1 and 2 both had at Least 2 Alphas

It's Not a Far guess to assume the same for Hn3

[bold siren]

Yeah, but other games like hide and seek didn't

[peak river]

Yeah but those were Spin Offs so it's Understandable why they didn't release the Early Versions if they even really had them

[river geyser]

there was a playtest existing i think that was very difficult to find

it only featured the first act and different cutscenes

[peak river]

But Both other Mainline games Had at least 2 alphas, Even if Alpha 2 of Hn2 went unrelsased

[chilly sundial]

It's still a prototype, now pre-alpha, alpha, betas, demo, and the final game.

[crude ravine]

Demo is not a version

[chilly sundial]

it's a test

[crude ravine]

No

Short version of the game for free

And hn3 is not suitble for a demo

[chilly sundial]

So there won't be a demo.

Question: Will there be Almira Hoffman's cinematography in another test?

[untold grotto]

what do you mean

[bold siren]

Yeah, some youtubers like vegetta777 played it at the time

[neon root]

The game is too early in development for us to know.

For all we know they might make the pre-alpha the “demo” like HN1

[thin portal]

beta 1?

[bold siren]

If I understood you correctly, probably, but we are not sure

[bold siren]

No, hide and seek first version.
That one with the crow cutscene at the end

[thin portal]

oh

I remember that video

[formal sinew]

Im just wondering how many accessible houses they are in HN3

Not including hotel cinema cable cart gas station bakery etc

I mean just normal house

Is it onju 1?

Only

[celest plank]

every house is accessable

[formal sinew]

I mean with interiors

[celest plank]

oh yeah most of them are still undone

a lot of them are tho

[formal sinew]

So what are the main core buildings of the game

Museum, bakery, super market sky lift building, hotel/cafe cinema the gas station

Am I missing any

[loud karma]

Post Office, Gas Station, Hotel, Museum, The Park, Bakery, Gas Station, Cable Car Building

[formal sinew]

Where’s the park

[loud karma]

accessed via the cable car building

[formal sinew]

I see

Cause I’m building them in Minecraft and just wanna build the main core one s

[celest plank]

there are also some houses that have interior in them

[formal sinew]

Cinema is also a main one yeha

[celest plank]

that dont rly serve a purpose

[loud karma]

Cinema, Coned's House, Isaac's House, Historian's House

[formal sinew]

I only found one near the neighbours house

[crude ravine]

Also weather station

[celest plank]

yeah me too

[formal sinew]

Where’s coned house historian house and Isaac’s house I can’t find them

Can someone take an ss of the map and circle where these are please?

[loud karma]

Coned's house is actually Jacob's house in Prototype 3

it remains the same except Coned lives there now

[formal sinew]

Yeah most of the buildings from proto 3 is the same as pre alpha yes?

[loud karma]

some not most

there's actually differences

[formal sinew]

Which ones are different

[loud karma]

like the cinema being more open in pre alpha

[formal sinew]

I know the workshop where Jacob is complete different

[loud karma]

because one staircase was just blocked in prototype 3

[formal sinew]

I see

[celest plank]

mate

coned is literally stuck in his house

the entire game

[formal sinew]

I have built so far in my proto 3the cinema Jacob’s workshop the neighbors old house and started the museum am I ok to continue but use the pre aloha verison of the buildings for proto 3?

[chilly sundial]

because without the beginning it can be strange...

[loud karma]

the post office building was non existant in proto 3

[formal sinew]

Yeah I know it wasn’t it’s new but the buildings that was in proto 3 and that’s now in pre alpha are they the same? Wit minor changes so I can use them for proto 3

I know workshops different

But the other ones they are the same?

[loud karma]

supermarket is different in pre alpha compared to proto 3

[untold grotto]

theres no more cinema to gaap underground tunnels

[crude ravine]

There will be a cutscene in bus stop

[formal sinew]

Much different?

[ionic bay]

how

[loud karma]

well the main supermarket part has less stuff because of how its shutting down in pre alpha

[crude ravine]

Kinda same with p3 ig

[formal sinew]

Has the main structure of the building changed

[untold grotto]

theres gonna be a cutscene but you will start in town square

[loud karma]

no

[formal sinew]

Ok that’s good

Has any of the main ones changed apart from the workshop?

[loud karma]

cafe/hotel is different in pre alpha as well
main structure is the same, but there's some changes

[ionic bay]

But they are different, and the reason for coming is the same

[loud karma]

most buildings main structure exterior is straight up the same
the interiors are slightly different

[untold grotto]

cinema's underground tunnels got scrapped

[formal sinew]

As long as main structure is same for all buildings I can sort the interiors out

[formal sinew]

Yeah I never made them I’m on a super flat but thanks for saying

[formal sinew]

So the only one that’s changed main structure is the workshop/gas station?

[loud karma]

yep

[formal sinew]

From proto 3 to pre alpha

Ok thanks

[chilly sundial]

don't know, but I hope I got the intro, possibly in the alpha

[formal sinew]

Idk where these houses are tho

[crude ravine]

Nikita said we'll get an intro

[chilly sundial]

Oh yes, I'd already forgotten about that, thanks for the information 😃

[formal sinew]

Can someone circle on this map where Coned's House, Isaac's House, Historian's House and if there’s any more NPC houses that are accessible

Please

[untold grotto]

why dont you explore it yourself

thats like main point of the game

[formal sinew]

I tried I can’t find them hahah

I know there’s 1 near the neighbours house literally next to map

Is this the weather station

I’ve found another house

[near hawk]

They are probably somewhere in Raven Brooks

[formal sinew]

Ur a legend mate

Thank you

Where’s the weather station?

Is it marked on the map

[near hawk]

Play the game and you'll find out

[formal sinew]

Archie do u play Minecraft?

[exotic pewter]

does anyone have a high res png of the map

[exotic pewter]

thanks

[tawny yoke]

i wonder why tasty bakery name is a sticker

[restive ermine]

hi chat

how've y'all been here?

what've I missed?

[celest plank]

am i the only one to have this

[sonic birch]

GOODD

how about YOU

[vapid girder]

How do you play hello neighbor 3

[sonic birch]

on steam

[vapid girder]

okay thanks

[celest plank]

i got this main menu background after i walked out of bounds

could be a coincidence

[restive ermine]

going through an artblock and creative crisis in general, lol

[sonic birch]

when that happens to me i usually play games i like to get an idea of what I wanna do

[limpid pewter]

have what

[celest plank]

the background mate

it used to be the bus stop thing

at least for me

[limpid pewter]

no lmao

but it did use to be a bus stop

[celest plank]

i walked out of the town to a field
