no new returning chracters
the game is punishing enough
Nikita doesnt want add smth from old games
also that'd be really annoying more than anything
dang it
absolutely
why should you lose one item
dude it already looks like a fangame thats how diffirent it is
plus in hn1 theres only like 2 actual characters nicky and neighbor
why not
it doesnt have to be this
Looking different is very good
aaron & fear technically
it interruptsy your gameplay
makes it more fun imo
especially considering the fact that you get caught pretty often
fear isnt even a character
yeah no its more annoying
i ont get caught often
its just personifcation
technically he is a character but canonly he doesnt exist
a lot of ppl do cause the ai indoors isnt really good yet
its not
and the houses are chaotic too which makes it worse
idk about you but when i was playing hn2 alphas losing the items was pretty annoying
"A new npc for hn3, the thing"
It would be ridiculous for this reason nvm them
"the thi-"
...
i mean its kinda possible as alma seems to be under quite alot of stress
i just realized that
so she could maybe seem something like personifaction of stress but idk
I think the thing was only for hn1
yeah probably was
depends
the weather station part was lowkey underwhelming
i think we WILL end up seeing him again
niktia said they will it make it bigger
but again this is nicky roths fear soo
in future builds
Pre alpha was little uptade
he was a representation of fear in nicky's mind so no
this is was only a test really
the neighbor should get bigger role in the game
which is what i just said
yeah they should defo make it be a bigger deal
No not for only nicky's mind
not only for nicky
infact
NICKY DOESNT EVEN KNOW OF FEARS EXISTANCE
only the viewers/players see fear
nicky doesnt
uh its in nickys mind
and its not a real character
in the cartoon yes
No its is not in nicky's mind
cause its a hallucination
Nobody cant see him
nobody CANT see him?
so ur saying everybody sees him
what
People can just feel it
sometimes i cant explain smth becuz of my english
they should give peterson bigger role in the game
EXACTLY
you just kinda cant hallucinate the same exact character with the same premise
and beside allat hn3 is not even a type of game where the thing would fit in
we did not need aura farming on top of the guest statue just for him to be a side character
yes
ur not thinking straight
im worried he shows up only at the end of the game and it takes like 5 minutes to beat him
the thing would VERY WELL fit in
yeah
if you rework his design
you just cannot hallucinate in a game like hn3 where your gameplay is not interrupted thats simply not how it works
are you dumb
uh no
nicky roth isnt in the game??😭
proved wrong
We cant never understand what nova talking about ig
you cant hallucinate a character that's made up in someone else's mind
at best its gonna have to be another character which is still unrealistic and does not fit the theme of hn3
ragebait
this is ragebait man
reminder that this is a game
games dont have irl physics
or irl logic
Youre ragebaiting rn
maybe elaborate on what youre trying to say instead of insulting me
i made it very clear what i was tryna say
ur just not thinking straight rn
once again
it does not fit the theme of hn3
once again
ur not thinking straight
cause thats not what i said
well it is but i said IF his design got remade
yeah thats what i said
and what i said implies your suggestion does not fit hn3
its not a suggestion
it doesnt matter
shadow fella aint getting in 🙏
Me when after read that conversation
Whatever happened here.
Also i see some missinformation!
The thing is not a hallucination nor is it specifically for Nicky.
It's a visual representation of general fear that the characters don't see and only feel.
was trying to explain ts
some people just dont get it...,,
nikita have said we will not
i hope we see niky again at some point
We should see him in a picture on smth i think
Nicky's story is over, theres no need for him to be there
If would make sense for him to be as he comes back to raven brooks at the exact time this is placed
An Npc role would be amzing
Not the exact time
Maybe not
Nicky returns in like either 2015 or 2017
17
What time is hn 3 placed ?
HN3 is in 2028
2028
But that dosent mean he still can’t be leaving there
We got both 2015 and 2017 as dates 
Current canon is 17
Who is everyone’s favourite characters in the hn universe ?
all guests
Teddy of all of HN
Aka the neighbor
Jacop and janusz
Of HN3 specifically, excluding Teddy and Aaron, probably Signed.
Do you guys reckon we will find out what happened to Aaron in hn 3 if not that is a massive plot hole to be left open ?
maybe ?
Yes...
I reckon we found out already actually
he's in his forties
What happened to him
%70 forest dweller is aaron
death by old age
Forest dweller
So he dies of old age before the neighbour ?
Is that the one with cones on the head
coned is the one with the cone on his head
Well death of old age is really just death of sickness
i'd never
He meant p1 forest dweller
Bro I feel like hello neighbour 3 is gonna have so many plot holes
Forest dweller is who kidnaps people in the forest
Yeah there is a lot currently
11 years after act 3 but nicky is nowhere to be seen
Died %60
Leaved from rb %39
He'll return to hn3 %1
That's not how percents work is it
Idc
you're missing 10%
60 + 29 = 89 + 1 = 90.
That's a plot hole
%9 i ate him
it'll be reaaaalll awkward if dwelleraaron is true and nicky ends up having been mauled
"yoooo bro it's me heh nick roth"
"ggrgraahhhhh"
"hey man why are you killing me rn like that's not cool"
Now where's your other 1
Weren't Nicky and Aron friends at least that's what Nicky diaries told us
I said %1 before
yeah, that's why it'd be awkward
Yeah in bookd they are
What is booked
9 + 1 is 10
Yes books and diaries (first 3books = diaries) told it
dang
60 + 29 + 1 + 9 = 99
My math being worst each day
Will we see bob novak in hn3 to npc? I hope we'll
bob is mr peterson spelled backwards
Yes and Novak is Aaron
He dont kills people
I don't think the P1 Forest Dweller is Coned either
He never was
the rig the placeholder model had matches with the internal placeholder design and with the finalized design
People knew from the beginning it was the guest
I'm pretty sure the cone was just meant to throw people off but like
it was obvious who it was
the rig bone with "beak" as the name
Or you know, being the placeholder for the cone-shaped beak design
the fact it's someone who dwells in the forest
and only shows up in dark areas
pretty sure by that time they already had the internal placeholder
so I can understand why some people would think it was Coned, but regardless it never was and always was the Guest
or well
the "Guest"
The rigs, the little details like gloves, the extremely familiar behavior, his importance, it felt obvious to me
I'm not gonna lie at first it didn't click with me
I joined before I found out about the rig
also I did not realize there were gloves on that placeholder model
really it was just the rig that made me realize and by that time Prototype 2 was new
he also just
wasn't as important in the first to prototypes cause he only appeared to end your game
He is not alr
that's pretty much what I said
i used to think it was coned
listen
i had less then a minute on prototype 1 and 2
no I kinda did too but like
i rage quitted after i died
I also paid no attention to the Forest Dweller until I learnt about the rig
I didn't find him important whatsoever until that
so that's pretty much why I fell for the cone head
cause I didn't really care about him until it was obvious to me that he was the Guest
I think p1 fd had a cone bc devs wanted players will make theories about coned
speaking about coned
no its just same shape that forest dwellers beak has
he based his look after his god or something
like i wouldnt be intimidated by him in no scenario
which tbh no vandal is
but i feel like coned is the least intimidating😭
there's a literal base that a traffic cone would have
I feel like they did want to throw us off so the reveal of the Guest would be more impactful
like ok hes just a crazy guy with a cone whos cold
whats anything intresting about him
he based his look after his god
what
I actually kinda like it though
wasnt the guest his god
the Forest Dweller pretends to be "God" (the symbol of Raven Brooks)
and he is also some kind of leader of the gang
yes
and the Vandals believe him to be the real one too
What do we know about covered though
i may be stupid
that shes covered?
thats it
trust
my studio light fell
honestly I don't think we know anything
we do
other than she likes to roller skate around
Nikita dont say anything about her
There was like a concept art of her smoking or smth iirc and Nikita said it's story related when asked iirc
she is covering herself🔥
so covered is a chain smoker
ok ill stop
why would it be story related tho
that she is smoking
maybe she's that kind of teenager who's rebellious n' all Idk
i dont think shes a teenager tho
I don't think it was exactly her smoking actually
There was something Red from her hoodie thing
Or wait was that a part of a time lapse? Might have been
Coned smoking kinda makes more sense anyways, he just looks like the type to
cone looks funny to me
like he looks big but take off that jacket
he looks like old iris from like proto 1
the jacket actually makes me think of him more of that bummish type
it just looks like a scruffed up jacket
how many pockets does it have
40
to keep all his beers and cigars
Yep there was smoke too
Yep it was from the timelapse
Okay.
Found it.
So it was back in RBO times.
nikita have said it was not specifically about the smoke
it was about vandals design in general
Is that the basement channel?
yes
I can't read it it says no access
its for the People with the Basement Key Role
well how to get it
i dont think you can get it anymore
i think its for the people that have been in this server for a while
bruh
grrr I HATE lost media!!!
why cant we ask someone with it
I mean
is that channel even that important to be accessible to some people
I guess nothing stops you but I don't think you're gonna get it
maybe, maybe not
it may just be an archive thing
mods i officially demand a basement key role right this instant
Iirc basement is more of a casual chat that isn't that much for HN
so not that important
Someone screenshoted the rules once
it also makes you look tuff with that role
it was at some point
but nowadays its just nothing really
what was its purpose
So it's just dead?
kinda
hoh
I mean if it's something you can no longer get then eventually the older members who did have that are gonna eventually dwindle one way or another
Not much
I was right as always
guys i wanna change my per server name
stupid bots
yeah coffee lover godot
but it says i need permission
watch thy language
It was a casual chat
I kinda expected it to be an inactive chat
i dunno
I didn't even say anything bad
you can do that if you have tinyclub, otherwise i think you need to ask like jacky
to change it for you
yeah i cant change my per serve profile either
this server is just not set up very well, sorry to say it
guys should i make a hn3 pre alpha full game in my utube
i do have nitro
affirmative
you know what yeah I want Goku Black
u can just have it linked to your profile
it's kinda the simplest way anyways
alright ill link it up
Mods can also change nicknames, just tell me what you want and we can change it for you.
put it
is it like in DMs or some kind of ticket system, or just whenever and however possible
whether it's a mod that's chatting and you ask them or like through dms
im gonna make videos on analizing hello neighbor 3 news
how does that sound everyone?
we need a hn3 news channel
Sounds cool enough.
you can DM us or just say here
hi mean like ye
i mean like why cant they make a channel called "hello neighbor 3 news"
alot of hn3 related channels are just opinion based mostly it'd be cool if someone did legitimate news on the game almost daily
because #work-in-progress is meant for progress of other titles
alright that makes sense
they dont really have to
i mean if u want i can do my channel all about analize Images and devlogs
I don't think they can give us daily HN3 news
Oh
Nvm
Well lettuce c what news would be madeable with stuff Nikita said today
"lettuce see" boyu thats lichally me
i would love for them to make funny 5 minute news video like what they did for devlog 4
who else has this
its a Tuesday
i dont sadly
I do not understand what you mean by "this"
did you mean the profile icon..?
i licharlie read every single message he sends i need Heich En Three Info
I only did that once to try and get a specific message that I knew about, I usually only do that for my own messages though
I don't get it either
what are you trying to proove
nothing
if you mean the fact you can search through only what one or more people say
I don't think that's a revelation

fridge over here couldnt comperend it
I've again done that with my messages for years (I have alot of old art)
cause it's so random
like wdym "who else has this"
no
yeah ill go work
alot of different answers i might say
So like did anyone get it i didn't
what even is frigi'd's pfp about anymore
he keep changing it like collecting the dang infinity stones
Well i saw chaos attorney change to smth tuff so i figured to change to something tuff too
alr
Goku Black tends to be the profile I go back to alot for some reason, it's either Goku Black, Godot, or just a different character entirely
I did not see Goku black in my 5 months i spent here at all until now.
I mean
I also keep profiles for months on end too
when I joined I used to have the Guest pecking Quentin for months
poor guy must've gotten brain damage
ah this is more off topic though
Yeah so
I wonder how the vandals interact lorely wise
blue apple was the peak frigid pfp
The new character has to be a Postman. Unless the new NPC comes with a brand new building, the only building left they could guard is the Post Officr
Are they sort of agressive to each other or is it like how you'd expect edgy teenagers to interact or are they surprisingly friendly to each other
ngl that one was peak but this new one is kinda peak too
I got myself a cult with that one on a random server
got yourself a what?? 😭
I always just expected them to kinda just push each other around and pick on each other, so kinda more like edgy teens and overall just have that sense of immaturity
imo the sledgehammer should be more durable
breaking a door took half of its health away
i think
Yeah that's what i'm thinking.
Coned probably pushes them around most.
As the leader and all
do we need an postman though
if only coned didnt sit in his house like a coward
Signed and Jacob annoy me enough
seems like post office is not working for few years
jacob is lowkey tough
half of the tim
atp its unpredictable if hes chill or not
Coned to me just kinda seems like a bossy bum
also i dont get what giving the cassette does to him
he pulls on some lever for me jbut like why
Do you think Signed or Covered would get picked on more.
it makes him ||like you and then he goes to the museum to fix the lights||
arent the lights fixed there though
covered is wearing fishnets
the answer is covered
Yeah but Signed is depressed
the ||pathway lights|| are ||broken|| by default
oh yeah
he is a big fan of Quantum Rider, he wants to be brave just like him
idk he didnt fix them for me what a bum
and the missing episode is names "Its ok to be scared"
#killJacob
after watching this he gets the courage to repair the museum path lights
he didnt do it for me so i ||Made A Bridge Myself.||
I'm unsure, but who else could it be? Only way it could not be a Postman is if this character either took over a characters current spot or brought a brand new location with them
I mean there is always the chance they add a new character like they've stated could be a possible goal
tbh quantum knight rolls off the tongue better but guantum rider is like
better in any other way
I honestly wouldn't mind a new character either
i would say they will come up with their own place
theres like a lot of empty places in map
yeah while it's confirmed this is the last time the map gets a big changed, Nikita has also said they could still add new buildings
they will add
it's just less likely to see buildings get removed
its just the base of the map
yeah
What area does coned hang out in in pre alpha ?
He’s the only one I don’t remember seeing
He has a house he sits in most of the day
Is the cult lore in the show Canon in hn3
I highly doubt it, as Nikita doesn't work on the show and also was not involved in the final version of HN2
"canon" but not connected
theres no such a thing in hn3 story but its still "canon"
I only follow the game lore as the most accurate so that’s good to know
so wait is the story in pre alpha a rough shape of the actual story
Game lore is pretty dispersed.
Cult is in HN2 as well.
i finished my walkthough of hn3 pre alpha
i did it today too
Well yeah.
It's the story that will stay, will be just fleshed out
yeah so im worried theres gonna be like nothing "new" from this point onward
we basically know the core story and uh
yeah
yep its part of canon
I'm sure there will be new stuff
i hope the further details in the future will be pretty major
Like the new npc
There will be more new stuff tho
-_-
President of Golden apple
but make guesses
Mr Hoffman
Hello neighbor version of Joey Drew is the Dad. I don’t know.
first name?
Mr. Hoffman
first name
You copy me
no because i have soonish and april 10 on my name
i think its nicky (plz dont roast me)
Not really. I don't think HN3 full game will also end with the player getting Report #13
speaking of which
I think that will be an ending
But more fleshed out and there will be more endings and all
i think its a stupid reason to go through all this just to get some paperwork
JUDGING by pre alpha
not just about getting some paper
theres probably more to it
What if there’s bad information in the report that they want to keep private
its about being the president of company
You get to be the president of a company and make your father proud or smth
i hate the father so much!
We must be bad because everybody in the game hates us
they hate our company
Yeah how can you be dissappointed in Alma
Well they're not "keeping it private", they just don't know where it is at
yeah alma go through that very safe and not deadly town and bring me report 13
all by yourself
he didnt say that
or youre fired
almira just needs the report
The file must be somehow important if the neighbor has it
and the report is about RB
which is GA's origin town
bob novak went there for a business trip
but never returned
The historian took care of him
ho yeah btw could some of the missing posters be about bob novak
Well it was probably the Neighbor
But Teddy is in mayak
Or the Guest
probably
Not the historian
ive noticed some of the faces on the posters are completely hidden
"the one who gone missing" was isaac but probably will be replaced with bob
This is probably already obvious, but I feel like the guest is scaring people away from the weather building. I don’t know if that was Canon yet.
yeah the isaac posters are changed
idk if its the same for all posters there tho
do yall think we explored all of pre alpha atp
yes
What does everyone think of HN3 Playtest
I enjoyed it. It was really easy to follow and I actually beat it.
P3 was impossible for me to complete
I like it but prototype 3 was better
Without an tuto, yes impossible
Excatly no
There is less content but still better than p3
hey chat what's tthe dis?
Ai was pretty weak imo
Ai is better, tasks are better, 3d models are better, atmosphere is better, characters are better
Prototype 3 vs pre alpha talk rn
I like the groundhog Day system in it
The ai is absolutely not better
Not runs everywhere randomly lol
It gave the town more personality
Also there is FOG IN PRE ALPHA (this is so huge feature to me)
For sure i prefer that over the ai being so silent or whatever you'd call it
Take the historian for an example she can end your run
While also getting stuck often
This problem is in almost all hn games
the ai did feel less random in this build but the cons outweight the pros
Teddy also got stuck pretty often
Thank you
.
the cons of ai i mean
I think mostly my problem is the ai and goal
cause pre alpha is still >>>>>>> prototype 3
its basicly just prototype 4
I would have liked festival goal with new time loop
yeah it felt morelike a prototype to me
They called pre alpha to pre alpha bc it was small uptade
one of the smallests of the prototypes yet
cause like if u compare this pre alpha to the hn1 and 2 pre alphas itslike
The game still has a couple years probably until it comes out so they have enough time to fix the AI
prototype level
Also pre alpha = prototype
yeah
Just says "next version is alpha"
ikr
and 1 in this one
Yes
i miss the endings
Uhh what were those 6
prototype 2 was absolutely banger imo
There was town evacuating
uhhh last saturday
And 6 endings is too much
Death from lightning
Kidnapped from fd
Fall damage
Report 13
Vanished from storm
Um there is 5 endings in pre alpha
I hope this game has keys in it rather than just breaking everything
Those aren't endings bro
Do those count as endings
- dying to storm
- dying to elecrticity
- escaping raven brooks
- getting caught by forest dweller whilst escaping or something
- uh i forgot
You don't die from a storm
- escaping rb on foot
what
Some of deaths in pre alpha same with p1 and p2
ye you do
The entire point of HN3 is that the game just resets and is played in different "sessions"
Well what about bakery explosion
We probably won’t be getting a build until the fall. I can imagine if we’re in the alpha phase.
its still counts as dying
We can die from it? Then there is 6
Sure
Bro those aren't endings
fd killing you is also ends your session but also counts as dying
the game is roguelite-ish
I don’t know if that’s true or not but it sounds like Alpha’s would take longer to make
@civic totem
it depends on how much content they decide to add
it does
You're not completing any objects so those aren't endings
and i imagine it wouldnt take so much time
we either get 1 alpha or 4
the map's layout is done and the core story is there
they just gotta add onto that
and i think theyve been working on alpha 1 for a month now
Is that last part true
Then deaths in p1 and p2 are not endings
yes
Cool
I wonder if there’s like gonna be like a phone system in the game like our father texting us or something
There is one thing they should add in alpha 1 i think, adding more alt objectives
Because there’s phones in 2028
What If we call the cops on Aaron
pretty sure RB doesnt have phone signals though
/j
lit'sen
If you die in any game and have to restart from a certain point, would you consider that an ending?
I think in hn3, yes
“An explosion put an end to your journey in Raven Brooks!”
Bruh
What a good ending!
The difference is that in the first two prototypes those were very clearly endings, while in the pre-alpha it's literally just you dying and having to restart
Haha, I get that reference!
i want the objective system to be something like this
if the game will have multiple paths you can take
There is one difference, p1 and p2 has a text but pre alpha hasnt
Bro the pre alpha only has 1 ending
Stop trying to pretend it has more than 1
Bro the pre alpha has 6 endings
No it doesn't
Stop trying to pretend it has 1 ending
I think Pre-Alpha only has one ending mainly cause the other game overs and such don't have cutscenes nor text to indicate otherwise.
This
So ure saying other deaths not ending becuz there is no texts uh?
pre alpha has 1 ending and 1 path to take
The only game over I'd argue are 'endings' are being caught by the storm in Prototype 3 and being caught by Guest in prototype 2 while you're making your way out of town
theres a difference between ending and death
or like session end
the games not over if you die to something
Then i can say pre alpha has 1 ending
If we can think like this for p1 and p2
Prototype 1 has 1 'real' ending being escape while the rest are game overs
Prototype 2 has multiple real endings (if you count escaping the town with different residents as different endings)
Prototype 3 has 3 endings because of three cutscenes that end your game rather than a fade to black and there's no real 'Game Over' condition other than the timer going out
Pre-Alpha has 1 ending you work towards while everything else that ends it just causes fades to black, or white in case of the storm aka game over since there's no fanfare to it
If we'll say there is only 1 endings for all hn3 versions, make sense
It won't because of Prototype 3 clearly has multiple with cutscenes as well.
It probably just had a cut scene to reveal the neighbor
But now ure saying theyre endings bc there is cutscenes
theres gotta be a power balance with the other towns people. there is no way the historian, this very old thin lady, should be able to throw me out a window and killing me from fall damage
Yes, that lady is evil
the neighbor was already revealed
✅ ✅
She is prolly older than 85 and kicks out an young woman
She’s very strong
Prototype 1's ending is escaping the town as that's the ultimate objective and each other thing that ends your game is being caught
Prototype 2's ending is also escaping the town with a question of who all leaves with you since, well, that's the objective.
Prototype 3's endings are the Festival, the Ritual, and the Storm as they're each the only way your game can end with cutscenes as well.
Pre-Alpha's ending is getting the Project 13 as that's the objective and all other things just simply end with you looping, the book is the only thing that says 'You beat it!'.
I was fine that there was no cut scenes tbh
I can say "There is no cutscene for report 13 then its not an ending" (there is only an png its not cutscene for me) now
You're not getting my point.
I got but it doesnt make sense
Nah bro the game is awkward with no actual cutscenes
I hope alpha adds cutscenes for all deaths in pre alpha
I wanna say "endings" to deaths
also I think they messed something up with the historian? unlike jacob and jaunz that say you can be friends with them, it doesn't say that with the historian, yet if you give her the photo she won't attack you, but will still continuously follow you around the museum as if she was going to attack.
Dont steal a object
In museum
Or break
Is she making angry sounds or just following?
It’s just a pre-Alpha. They’re probably saving the cut scenes. I don’t know the process of making a cut scene, but I can imagine it taking a long time
Cause I imagine if she's just following she's just doing the whole 'person in a museum showing you around' thing.
Yeah and as i know, there is one animator in the team
Exactly it’s just a pre-alpha no big deal
If it was like the beta or the final game that would be an issue
I hope nikita wont make pieces for new character
What does that mean?
I want just full image
Oh what they did with the main character
Yea
It was kind of fun to imagine the character with the little pieces
They did it for the neighbor and the historian and isaac and janusz too
im pretty sure he only did it with almira and the neighbor
They’re probably just giving some sort of content for people to look forward to without revealing it all at once
isaac and historian ones was not pieces, it was just a piece
just following, and I haven't stolen anything
I wonder if the next towns person they revealed was coming is the hotel
That’s not true. I did pieces only for the Neighbor and Alma
U made a piece for janusz/historian/isaac. Just i meant it 
Possibilites,
Postman
Hotel employee
Jobless town people
Cable car employee
Cinema employee (very low chance)
is "the one who disappeared" is still Isaac or replaced by the Bob Novak without spoling anything
I think the whole sacrificing issac thing is scrapped
and assembling the statue
unless its just being saved for later
i wouldnt say that, i mean the whole Isaac name is coming from sacrifacing thing and isaacs story is not implemented in pre alpha and vandals seems pointless
I feel like Bob makes sense. Did they reveal on the opening cover that how long he’s gone missing for
the game was advertised with being able to do multiple things but rn its focused on just one
and we know that atleast the citizen festival is going back, just not in the way we think
(also the whole keyart symbolizes the neighbor destroying the statue)
I seeing someone who speaks Spanish playing pre-alpha.
The game really needs to be translated, the guy is using a translator every 2 steps
its just a lot of work to be fair
and slows down development
like retexturing all of the text and stuff
I know, but it makes gameplay worse for non-English speakers
Its not like the other games were text is kinda irrelevant
i mean its just very basic english i would say
and theres such tools as google lens
they probably will not be localizing the textures
I think is kinda selfish not giving importance to a problem just because it doesnt affects you.
ive seen non-english players using google lens and it was fine for them
they didnt really had any problems with using tranlastor tools
Bruh...
because it was kind of their problem to playing game that has text-based puzzles without knowing the language
I don’t think this is the place to ask about that or the person
Are you being serious rn or its just rage bait?
I'm really getting worried about that message
im serious
So no games should be translated, its your fault to play a game that isn't in your native language
im not saying that?
Earthbound? No need to translate it.
Pokemon? No need to translate it
Minecraft? No need to translate it
Any graphic novel? No need to do that
Its because of translation that more player can discover and enjoy the game.
I thought I heard something on here that they’re gonna translate the writings to different languages, but I’m not sure if that’s true
hn3 is built around text-heavy gameplay while what you give as an example is not
Hello Neighbor 3 is not even in the alpha stage yet and we are already bickering over the game not having localization translation
and like translating all of the textures to another language (and doing this to like 12 other language too) would just slow down the development
All of those examples require you to know the language to continue, what are you talking about?
minecraft is surely are not?
If anything they should do that as a patch for the final game more so than focus on that at this time because the game isn't even remotely finished yet
No, I'm annoyed cause some people believe it doesn't need it
So, is Hello Neighbor 3 an attempt to remake or correct Hello Neighbor 2? We can see that, aside from reviving the storm concept from HN2, the game tries to return to the old art style of "Hello Guest" and Hello Neighbor 2 Alpha 1.5. We can also see that they want to revisit the formula of the different neighbors and try again for an open world like in the Hello Neighbor 2 alphas, idk
Its it own game
not really but there are def similar things
Hello Neighbor 3 is moreso a soft reboot of HN1 but also its own game at the same time
If they lose players bc of this, thats devs' problem not our
Tell me what is a trähacka then
i mean, Nikita abandoned the project
I feel like the language will help the game in my opinion
(hn2)
The opinions of players does not reflect game development itself, I fully doubt Eerie Guest Studios feels this way and will try to work with translations for foreign players
it would indeed help
It's normal that he wants to try his idea again
but im saying that making that would just slow down the development and other stuff
I hope they give it localization. It's just that, that people believe its not necessary
I've also never heard any complaints about the games language being hard to read until now so this is the first person I've ever seen speak about it
Oh, so improving the game takes time?
What a great discovery
how is this improving the game
its rather just remaking all of the textures for no reason
I genuinely think you're rage baiting me atp
How is making the game readable for non English speakers not a good thing?
What is this whole argument about? I’m so confused.
I feel very watched when I play HN3 btw
in the case of HN3, it would just slow down the development and other things
kenopsia levels pretty high
"Why there is one language in hn3"
waste of resources in short
Oh, I thought there was multiple. They’re probably putting the most popular user/player audience. I have no idea.
Yeah, it seems obvious, but apparently its not
Nativo is hopeful HN3 adds other languages other than English, while Krypt claims that redoing all the textures to be a different language would be a very time consuming endeavor for the devs to do
i mean localization would be cool since they are now using actual texts and all
Kryptqn believes the game shouldn't be translated
And what?
indeed would be cool, but i personally im not seeing egs or tB doing that
i personally wouldnt do that since it would like slow down the development
EGS is going to end up translating the games language for foreign speakers
not the textures
And what? What if we have to wait more?
I dont think all of the team would work on the localization all together?
Nothing bad happens if we wait
I agree, it could be a feature at the final game. I don’t know if it’s been confirmed yet or not if there’s multiple languages.
Being added
bring some people for that
It really wouldn't be that hard to make alternate variations of textures for different languages
i mean in the shipping part, it would also just overwork for their artists since they would be editing the textures
I understand that they don't translate the alphas, but the FG must have a localization
i dont think you need artists to edit the textures
You should ask the creator on here that question
artists could make the textures without the text and then localization people add the text accordingly with different variations
A game being playable in multiple foreign languages is a crucial part of game development if they want to ship this game world-wide, it's not overworking it's a part of the job of being a game developer
that is though just an assumption in my part on how these things could work
They should add firearms and tanks
especially when the game deliberately needs the text to be understood unlike the previous HN games
Exactly
and theyre doing that with using english in like the simplest form
I think that would get rid of the genre, the game of cozy and eerie
Yes but not every person speaks English
Although it should have a slingshot or something
That's what I'm implying
i hope so, it would boost the sales
Whoever brought up this argument should ask Nikita
thats what i said since the beginning
The objectives tab will obviously have localized languages based off what you speak
For textures they could do one of those "press this to read the text" or something
Oh true
y'know how some games have that
the in game textures wouldnt be retextured because lack of resources, but stuff like objectives ui would be translated
Agreed
i think ingame texture localization still would be very cool though
indeed
It could be a future update after full release if they’re not focusing it now
Would be cool, but I don't believe tB and EGS are capable of pulling that off in a reasonable amount of time
i mean they dont have a release date announced so they should take as much as time to make this game perfect
So UI localization is more reasonable
I think there more focus on the content story and AI
Didn't tinyBuild state they expect this game to release in 2026 or am I misremembering
i dont think they did
I don’t think that’s possible
they did not publicly
but theres a internal deadline
how do we know about that
That’s a very short amount of time if they’re just passed the pre-Alpha
nikita said there is, but cant say the date
When you look up the game online there is a 2026 expectancy
huh
I think it’s 2028
well its ai overview
oh wait thats the ai overview
Which uses information publicly available
where is it pulling the info from
that has been known to giving wrong informations
the random game news websites are just randomly putting dates
I vaguely remember earlier versions of the steam page stating 2026 release window
But that's no longer there since the pre alpha
it did not
no i dont really remember that
also how would that even work
its like first quarter of 2026 is finished and theyre not even in the alpha
Again, I might be misremembering, but I vaguely remember the steam page saying that when I wish listed it originally
I ofc don't believe it will release this year
I think 2027 is the earliest I can imagine it being released
But I remember it being somewhere
i would say its maybe another HN1 case
Now the only place I can find that info is the untrustworthy ai overview on google
My biggest fear about this project is that it will end up being colorful again, just like what happened to Hello Guest becoming Hello Neighbor 2
or 2028 is the date that they internally planned
not the best source of info
Nikita has made statements that the art style will not change
That seems like a reasonable amount of time didn’t that date on the pre-alpha say 2028
there was reasons of that, but in hn3 the artstyle is staying
yes
I already acknowledged this
That seems fair
2 yrs is enough for development for this game
It’s good that they’re taking longer to make the game
techinally hn3 is in development like since early 2023
but one year it was just one person prototyping with UE tutorials
Alr alr thats great
How many people besides Nikita are working on the game?
then another one year of development that they made with half of the team
but ended up scrapped
17 or something
15-20
That’s more than I thought actually
Not true
@broken galleon fact check this
I thought there were like 6 or 7
It’s always been at a “to be announced” status
hn1 had like 5-11 people in development
well hn3 actually had like 20+ people at some point
when it was half of EGS + Bad Pixels doing RBO prototype 2
Are they the same developers or are they different ones?
mostly different
Hello
How much do you think the game will cost?
around 30 dollars tbh
Alr alr
Good
Cheaper than hn2?
yes
bc HN2 is more expensive than the game is worth
i dont hate the game for say but it was a scam to sell it for 40ish dollars
Yo 😭
HN2 is shorter than HN1 in a playthrough perspective
add the DLCs
so it shouldve been cheaper than HN1
HN2 definetly has more content
the DLCs arent part of the base game
while I do agree that it's not worth 40 bucks
HN1 is still longer to beat
its sure worth way more than HN1
and costs less than HN1
that really doesnt matter tho
They make up the complete experience
the length of a game should to some degree warrant the price actually
if you spend 80 percent of your time bashing your head for a difficult puzzle then that shouldnt really count
its not a longer game
its a more difficult game to beat
I hope HN3 finally gets a good DLC, like HN3 Octo Expansion or HN3 Electric Boogaloo.
if a game has 1 level that takes 100 hours to beat becuase its difficult then that doesnt make it longer than a 100 levels game
Act 3 was never difficult
Totally but that doesnt mean that its a worse game
it just has a lot of puzzles
puzzles are difficult tho
im not saying its worse as thats subjective to who you ask, im saying it shouldnt be more expensive than HN1 and they both should cost the same amount
hn2 was good but... I could easily compare it to Postal 3
No you're wrong HN1 should cost 15 bucks
at least I think that its a fair price
People are buying why would they make it lower
If you know what you're doing, Act 3 is a cake walk. But new players are never going to be able to figure out these stupid puzzles Act 3 just has. My opinion
HN2 is unfinished, its marketing was false advertising, and has little to no sandbox/exploration
Schedule 1 is NOT going to be more expensive than HN3, bro 😭
I feel like this is the wrong chat room to talk about this
Oh yeah this is the HN3 chat lol I thought we were in the HN chat
bru
no???
it dident say that ever!
Shut up captpumsif
thanks for the random invasion of something i already stated wasnt true
i just logged in though
Can we just remove Captpumsif from the server
good for you
also for you? let me talk
what about Raven Brooks Online?
um
u aint the dev
or mod
so tbh u dont really have the right
tell me this one time. what did i do bruh
what about it
this is a ad
um
this is still a ad
they were banned
Who was banned
promo accounts
that was HN3 before it became HN3
btw why did u immediatly get aggresive when i talk
they just abandoned it being multiplayer and it became a single player sandbox
I just hope hello neighbour 3 isn’t full of plot holes
