hn3-discussion

[deft summit]

we see them dragging him and tying him up, probably to sacrifice Quentin to the Guest

[gleaming acorn]

quentin is lowkey murked by culties at the end of patch 9

[pseudo nimbus]

ohh wait you mean at the end of hn2 when the mystery man is seen

[pseudo nimbus]

oh no patch 9 nvm

[deft summit]

yeah

[pseudo nimbus]

i still need to read reset day and beat patch 9 flowkirk

[deft summit]

Patch 9 pretty much was supposed to be Act 2

it's just only the forest section

[pseudo nimbus]

yeah

[deft summit]

there was gonna be a ruined town where a storm starts hitting, and the neighbor's house catches on fire

[gleaming acorn]

until patch 10 drops and we actually see in a real piece of finished media what goes on after quentin is hit in the head

[deft summit]

there was gonna be the Catatombs

[gleaming acorn]

i will forever believe that he's just dead

[deft summit]

I refuse

Quentin's too goated to die like that

no he has to die to caffeine

now that's a goated way for such a goated character to go out

[gleaming acorn]

quentin gets clubbed in the head, kidnapped by ye olde cultsmen, and is sacrificed

[pseudo nimbus]

yk what guys im going bed soon anyway but imma go watch the ending of patch 9 cause ive only ever beaten the main game and not patch 9 i wanna see this

[gleaming acorn]

rest in not that much peace

[gleaming acorn]

when i said patch 9 i meant the ending of the main patch 9 game

gameplay*

i don't mean whatever's in the forest

[pseudo nimbus]

ohhh

[gleaming acorn]

i haven't even gone there yet

because i hate hn2

[pseudo nimbus]

well i still wanna know what happens in the forest so im watching a gameplay vid

[deft summit]

I kinda wish Patch 9 could've been finished

[deft summit]

also there never was a planned patch 10 so

unfortunately not happening

game got cancelled anyways

[gleaming acorn]

haha

[deft summit]

that sucks for me though cause I wanted to make my joke lore include Act 2

ah I guess the Quentin game is just gonna make guesses for all of that

[gleaming acorn]

act 2 of hn3 trust (old man neighbor kills almira in cold blood and aaron, who is actually janusz, says 'uuah uueh oowee oowah'

)

[deft summit]

jokes aside I actually hope HN3 doesn't have acts

I kinda feel it'd just lead to another HN2 situation where we're left waiting until it just gets cancelled

unless it's actually released all at once like HN1

[restive oxide]

doubt it will tbh

[deft summit]

it doesn't seem fitting with the gameplay style anyways

[near meadow]

It will

Since well I saw it in the recent devlog

They showed the whole board

Either way this still is being executed far better than whatever the heck hn2 was anyways

[near meadow]

Remember hn3 is kinda what hn2 was supposed to be

[restive oxide]

oh right

also a prologue would be peak

[near meadow]

I have no problems with acts in this game

I just hope its more open and less restrictive like it was in hn2

[restive oxide]

yeah

i also have a feeling each act will be kind of merged and instead separated by events rather than the world
in hn1 each act was a completely different level
i imagine in hn3 the acts will just be triggered after certain player caused events and will cause differnt things to happen

[wide field]

Hi guys

[restive oxide]

Hello

[flint arrow]

Anyone else really like the design for the neighbor? It feels uncanny and it looks nice

[blissful river]

He’s peak

[flint arrow]

Yes

[high brook]

me when i hold the shovel of pure anger

[deft summit]

I think it works narratively very well too

from HN1, to HN2, and now to HN3

[flint arrow]

Yeah

[deft summit]

you can just tell how he's getting worse

to the point where he's practically the devil metaphorically

he's trying to destroy the town

he's just gone off the deep end

but also apparently him not having gloves anymore has a metaphorical reason too so I hope we can get like

an ending that has Peterson change or something like that

[flint arrow]

Didnt he throw down the festival statue thing in proto 3?

[deft summit]

yeah

and he's hiding out in the Mayak

[chilly sundial]

Are there any speeding videos of the artisanal Januzs Historian Isaac Iris and Jacob?

[flint arrow]

That would be extremely interesting

[near hawk]

It will but the game won't tell you or anything, i believe pre alpha already had acts just in a very barebones state.

Yeppp.

And also this.

[restive oxide]

oh wait
#hn3-discussion message

[woeful summit]

One question about the storm:
since it’s gonna be some sort of Groundhog Day situation, it basically restarts but you keep the quests etc.

How would that work out with the original premise of having NPCs that adapt to your behavior when it comes to sneaking into their homes? Wouldn’t the NPC forget its interactions with you after each storm?

[crude ravine]

Can npcs die from fall damage?

[restive oxide]

they could just
make them not forget

[restive oxide]

no

[near hawk]

They do, you change their actions in the time frame

[restive oxide]

also i believe the final game will be much longer
according to something nikita said least
so that gives them time to learn

[near hawk]

He said it would probably stay at 30 minutes though

Riight here.

Or this as well.
It may change but you are supposed to go through resets so making the session much longer isn't really something i can see.

[deft summit]

well I meant in a traditional sense

where the content was separated

the events were separated

[near hawk]

Then no

[deft summit]

this kinda just seems more like there are sections that you can progress through rather than actual traditional acts

[near hawk]

If pre alpha had them already

[restive oxide]

oh sorry!
i didn't ever see this message
i meant sort of like a creative mode
like this
https://discord.com/channels/474299944254308373/1496040542688120933

[woeful summit]

Would be cool if they get like some sort of a tiny bit of memories

From their previous “life”

[untold grotto]

yes they will forget

thats the main point of the game that everything resets

[severe merlin]

HN3 never had plans for NPCs that learn from your actions, though. Unique aspect of AI that we explore in HN3 is the ability to adapt to the changes in the world. Watch Devlog episode 2, we cover that system there.

[severe merlin]

“Groundhog day” in HN3 “works” a bit differently. But I can’t explain it without revealing the story and underlying concept.

[gentle pebble]

Will the next version feature a cutscene like how Prototype 3 had an intro and ending cutscene

[severe merlin]

I don’t know. Probably not. We plan to deliver introduction to the story with a playable intro segment (and some cutscenes but mostly playable) and we want to do this a bit later, since the foundation of the game and gameplay is more important than introduction at this point of development. And since we have finite resources, we got to prioritize.

[severe merlin]

Cutscenes in P3 proved to be very expensive to make and they slowdown other animations, since we have only one animator in our team.

[gentle pebble]

https://tenor.com/view/kowalski-noted-penguins-penguins-of-madagascar-gif-1306663699157096677

[gentle pebble]

Oh I see

[spiral atlas]

Hey Nikita, was Isaac always meant to be a child? He almost looks like an adult in this old missing poster from Prototype 2.

[gentle pebble]

Was Alma originally a tourist from the P3 cutscene, who had a quest to follow a book about doing 100 things before they die before changing her role to the daughter of Golden Apple Company president

[severe merlin]

At the stage of development when this poster was created, we didn’t have full story of the Isaac. Not only his age, but in general.
That’s why I made this poster dirty, so we could have it without revealing the look of the character.

[spiral atlas]

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for answering!

[indigo peak]

Hey Nikita do you plan on bringing back more old character for example the shadow creature in the future

[severe merlin]

I don’t comment on the story, sorry. All I can say is that the Thing (shadow creature) won’t return. To say it even better - it can’t return. It’s a metaphorical representation of the fear in HN1. It’s tied to the subjective experience of the Nicky and doesn’t make sense to play role for the Alma. 🙂

[indigo peak]

Ah ok

[crystal hare]

Will you eventually show us the old Isaac concept art (or whatever is on the poster)?

[celest plank]

nikita how will the full version of hn3 end

[indigo peak]

Unfortunately he can't comment on the story

And uhh no offense but he would definitely not answer that😭

[celest plank]

he would he wipild

[manic lichen]

Some cool ss that I think people will like - uuh this is in the right area of discussion right?

[celest plank]

what the hell is dizzy writing

[spiral atlas]

Not sure if this relates to story, because it was removed in Pre-Alpha (I believe) but is this newspaper still relevant, and is the guy on it supposed to be Franklin, the neighbor's brother? People have been debating about this since Prototype 3 dropped.

[crystal hare]

there's also #screenshots channel btw

[celest plank]

this poster is still in the musem

museum

[crystal hare]

this newspaper wasn't removed

[spiral atlas]

Is it? I couldn't find it

[crystal hare]

it's still in the museum

[spiral atlas]

Oh, nevermind then

[celest plank]

i think its in one of the locked rooms

[spiral atlas]

I assume it's probably still important then

[crystal hare]

It's in the closed wing (or whatever it's called in english) of the building

[indigo peak]

That girl kinda looks like uh the girl who got stuck in like a car wheel idk her name

[crystal hare]

the clsoed part

[celest plank]

dorothea is insane

why are you preserving plumbers and newspapers in the museum

[crystal hare]

it's here

[celest plank]

its there like an ancient artifact bro 😭😭

[quartz sequoia]

I love the fact that Almira could've looked much older

[hardy silo]

hi im new

and i dont have idea of how to beat the pre alpha

💔

im stuck at the museum part

[celest plank]

explore

dont look for tutorials the game is abt explororing

[broken galleon]

? that’s how aging works?

[celest plank]

theyre talking abt the concept art of alma

she couldve looked older than what she turned out to be

[late scroll]

Lol

@broken galleon vc

[frosty sparrow]

I think this question was asked a million times already but will iris return in future builds?

I kinda miss her lmao

[broken galleon]

don’t think anyone knows

[frosty sparrow]

Okk

We'll see ig

[wicked moth]

Nikita, is there going to be an intro section like the apartment in HN1 Act3? I really loved that segment, so I'd love to know if there's going to be something similar, like an intro section maybe in the golden apple company office?

Also, is the bus going to return?

[near hawk]

If they find a role for her in the narrative, only.
Otherwise she is scrapped as of now.

[frosty sparrow]

I hope they'll do it. Iris seems like an actually good character that adds some variety and uniqueness to the cast

[near hawk]

Agreeed

She's basically a fan favourite so many people were upset at her possibly not returning(me included)

But at the end of the day If there's just no need for her then i guess.

[frosty sparrow]

That's right too

But I'm seeing her returning actually

[woeful summit]

Ah, that makes sense. Ty for taking the time to answer my question btw

[woeful summit]

If she ever shows up in the game, it would be interesting to see if she and Jacob have a friendship stat or something, cause in the dev logs they did use both of them to show the AI etc.

[crude ravine]

This about story

Bc we can see that poster in pre alpha

And prolly we will still see

[lunar trail]

the poster in the pre-alpha no longer says Isaac btw

bad image but you can see they removed the name from it

[gleaming acorn]

his name is missing

[celest plank]

ye i noticed that too

i think its bob novak

[hardy silo]

why the npcs sometimes ignorme me and sometimes hurt me?

im doing something that makes them angry like taking their things?

or there is no reason

[gleaming acorn]

pretty much, yeah

[celest plank]

the player is a golden apple employee

and they dont like the company it seems

[gleaming acorn]

the npcs don't care that you work there

[celest plank]

they do

[gleaming acorn]

they'll leave you alone if you don't bother them

or y'know befriend them

[celest plank]

thats literally why ppl like jacob just attack you

[gleaming acorn]

are you just walking into his home unannounced

[celest plank]

yes but they dont like you on default

[celest plank]

no he just sometimes starts running at me

when im not even remotely close to his house

[hardy silo]

how can I make them dont get bothered?

[celest plank]

there are certain things u need to give to each character

to befriend them

[vapid girder]

really

[celest plank]

you can find it out in thegame

[hardy silo]

like the cake that the girl in car cable is holding??

[gleaming acorn]

You could complete their specific friend thing to get them to like you (they each have one) or you could just

forcefeed them until they enjoy your company

you can find out what they need via playing and exploring naturally

[shrewd venture]

Where’s hello neighbor lofi

[celest plank]

for jacob - ||go to the boiler room of the cinema and find the quantum rider cassette. give it to him||
for historian - ||go to her house and find a picture of her childhood||
for janusz - ||go to the post office and find a recipe book||

[gleaming acorn]

executed

[celest plank]

its better if u explore urself tho

[shrewd venture]

Ok

[hardy silo]

tysmm!

[celest plank]

some1 should mod hn3 to be multiplayer ts would be so fun

[severe merlin]

They care. And they indeed don’t like GA. It’s also written on a Steam page as well 🙂

[gleaming acorn]

i see

that's mb

i should've been more informed

[severe merlin]

There’s not much narrative stuff in the game yet, so it’s hard to know this info

[near hawk]

Hold on do we know what "not in a way you think" part meant here?

Am i just slow or does pre alpha explain it?

[celest plank]

i mean

we dont know the intentions of guest

whoever he is

im sure he has some

[near hawk]

Is it that he is also a kidnapper since the message says "not just a kidnapper"?

[celest plank]

he technically kidnaps u before killing you

[exotic pewter]

is it still true that the neighbor built the golden apple amusement park?

[near hawk]

Yeah that's what i'm thinking might be what the not in a way you think part is

[celest plank]

i just hope

i forgot

i hope we will find out what he means by not in the way you think

in general

[near hawk]

Wdym in general

If it's also about the canon thing we basically know what that is now.

[celest plank]

cause like he said "not in the way you think" a lot of times

[sand flare]

Nikita I have a question how were the buildings made in pre-alpha and hn3 in general did you make parts in blender? make it all in ue5.7? it would really help me out.

[celest plank]

what is it

[near hawk]

A recent russian interview revealed it.

It's like different interpretations of real events

[celest plank]

wasnt that known since like forever

[near hawk]

Statue resembling will return but not in the way we think, i'm guessing it means it's not the main goal but more of a side quest

[near hawk]

I mean not exactly

[celest plank]

i always looked at the hn lore and thought like

[near hawk]

And like you were still asking about it

[celest plank]

its obvious that its seen through different eyes

[near hawk]

So

[near hawk]

Shush

[celest plank]

hi thought you were taklking about sth else

[near hawk]

I mean it's not exactly that

Ohh

[frosty gyro]

the vandal statue? i dont see the festival making a return

[celest plank]

i mean it explains the artstyle changes

i think nikita said it in megaM's interview not sure tho

[near hawk]

Other than canon and the thing about guset being a killer he only used it like once or twice

[celest plank]

for example quentin sees the hello guest world that way cause like

iforgot

[near hawk]

He's exploring rumours and such

[celest plank]

wait so he describes guest as killer

does that mean the guest like killed multiple people

not accidentally

its either not aaron or aaron went absolutely nuts

[near hawk]

Well the festival statue does lack an arm actually

[eager glade]

nebor

[near hawk]

Do you think he kills Alma and everyone just by bumping his "beak" into them by tripping?

[celest plank]

what

[near hawk]

Mb meant to reply to this

[celest plank]

no like

killer is usually used on people that kill intentionally

[near hawk]

Yeah did you think he wasn't killing people intentionally before?

Am i missing something

[celest plank]

no i licharlly said hes not killing intentioanlyl

[near hawk]

This sounded like you just realised it

[celest plank]

its jut's

if the guest is aaron

would he be capable of killing

his life absolutely changed forever when he killed just one person

[near hawk]

"the story's gonna be pretty important" is what he said right before this

Not too much of a headache for me on this one

[celest plank]

does tuss imply hn3 is connected to everything else to some extent

[near hawk]

Not exactly.
Just that it's connected to other media, not necesarily everything.
Like HN1 and HaS

I could see him do some things for the books, since he did work on those, reading ever draft and talking about story.

But for stuff like HN2 on which he hasn't worked on? I can't really see him add much.

[lunar trail]

what does HN3 even have from HaS so far, is the only reason people grouping that with HN1 for HN3's lore is because Nikita made it?

[celest plank]

wgat

[near hawk]

Nikita gave HN1 as an example and HaS is like the other game he's worked on deeply.
So it would check out really.

[celest plank]

i really wonder if hello guest's lore would fit hn today

like if the game would be finished the way nikita envisioned

[near hawk]

I don't think exactly, it would need to be changed

[lunar trail]

No idea what Nikita's vision was even for the whole game so

[celest plank]

but the hn lore doesnt need to be exact

[near hawk]

Then yeah i guess

[lunar trail]

Just the concept of a park guard having to defend against vandals and guest would work with HN3 though

[near hawk]

I thought you were talking abt HN3 ngl

Like If HG would work for HN3.
I misread.

[gleaming acorn]

neighbor is the guest in hn3 omg i figured it oput

[near hawk]

I said this Because guest is a bird in HG and Theodore being Guest wouldn't work that much

[near hawk]

out*

[celest plank]

guset*

[crude ravine]

Jacop attacks everywhere everytime

Dm

[lunar trail]

so far its generally just about the town and its people

[severe merlin]

Modules made in blender, then assembled in UE

[sand flare]

thank you

[lunar trail]

Is there gonna be fully made models for the houses in the full game, or is it gonna be modules again

i mean what is the plan so far is what i mean

[exotic pewter]

where is the cable car lever in the museum

[lunar trail]

in the same glass case that had the statue part in P3

[ionic bay]

Bob might be

[zinc delta]

if nikita did dev streams i would watch them

[verbal edge]

how long does it take to get accepted to play

[eager glade]

nah

why would ppl wnna look for ga employee

[untold grotto]

bob is not an rb citizen

[chilly sundial]

Nikita, I have a question. Will there be a new map? I'd like the map to be bigger and have something similar to the RBO you made, since the current map is small and the NPCs might glitch. They need a new space, and I found the RBO you made last year, the 2024 one, quite interesting. 👍

[civic totem]

No

[crude ravine]

current map is small???

Wth

[chilly sundial]

well no offense

Since it feels the same and should be a little bigger than the RBO

[crude ravine]

We know rbo map?

[crude ravine]

Also current is very large. There is soooo many empty houses in the town (there is 6-7)

[chilly sundial]

Nikita has shared old photos of the rbo and other test maps

[untold grotto]

and yet it was not that big area

and the current map is pretty final

[chilly sundial]

I want it to look like the Steam screenshots, which look cooler and make the map feel bigger

[limpid pewter]

those were only testmaps

[untold grotto]

how is that a bigger map

its just edited rbo houses area

[limpid pewter]

and they dont really fit the current vibe of hn3

well imo atleast

[chilly sundial]

Although I want it to resemble the test maps since the current map is becoming repetitive, that's just my opinion.

Although the essence of the tree seems unsettling and interesting to me, recycling it for Hello Neighbor 3 is a shame.

[limpid pewter]

how is it repetitive not being rude just asking

[cunning yacht]

Bro Zacy is just trolling for no reason can we kick him out the server

[limpid pewter]

what

[near hawk]

He's not????
Did You even read his messages?

[cunning yacht]

He is he’s just trying to ragebait

[orchid gazelle]

i guess it only feels repeatitive bc its the same map for each prototype and each prealpha

but im pretty sure nikita has expressed that they arent going to do any more changes to the map

[near hawk]

How?

[cunning yacht]

I get why it could be seen as repetitive but I hope they mix a few things up before release

[chilly sundial]

@orchid gazelle exact

[orchid gazelle]

the only thing they're changing is the placeholder houses and adding more furniture through each update

[limpid pewter]

well i guess that is true but obv there will be more buildings in the map in the future

[orchid gazelle]

yea

[cunning yacht]

It would be so weird if Jacob and mr Peterson kissed in hn3

[orchid gazelle]

woah

[limpid pewter]

what

[cunning yacht]

Would that not be weird

[chilly sundial]

@cunning yacht

[near hawk]

No that would be pretty normal?

[sonic birch]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-deglove-degloving-speed-grolemcorp-gif-2628858460915389297

[gleaming acorn]

when somebody desires knowledge

[orchid gazelle]

im sure once they figure out their ai and theres a more concrete story itll be much more interesting

[limpid pewter]

yep

[cunning yacht]

I think the map is good rn but I think there should be a tiny bit less trees bcs it’s litrelly covered

[orchid gazelle]

am i the only person who likes the trees

[limpid pewter]

pretty sure nikita said most foliage is placeholder

[limpid pewter]

i like them too

[near hawk]

I'm whatever about the trees tbh

[cunning yacht]

I love the trees but I hope they have a diff shading as in the daytime the map seems a tad beige

[chilly sundial]

Isaac returns

[orchid gazelle]

i do wish it was more hn2 or even hello guest-y when it comes to the color grading

but it wld take away from the character designs

the beige environment really helps make characters stand out

esp the houses

[cunning yacht]

Yes hn2 genuinely looks so beautiful but it won’t work with the characters or Npc

[limpid pewter]

well pretty much most assets so far are just placeholders

uh

[cunning yacht]

What

[peak solar]

30 minutes session time is interesting.

how do you plan on extending the full game's story without extending the timer?

will it be a longer sequence of events that you can gain knowledge of to skip sections?

[limpid pewter]

i think it will probably be a bit longer but this amount fits the best as of right now

[near hawk]

As of pre alpha you just kind of get a few notes and all then in like a couple sessions you can just skip over that process and go directly to Historian house, then museum, etc.
I think even just making those notes harder to collect or even making some other info-based objectives(admittedly not much comes to mind here) would do fine.

So like you will need to go through sessions but they would make it easier to complete.

[orchid gazelle]

bro

r u like 8

😭

[near hawk]

Ahh yes very HN3

Very very HN3

[limpid pewter]

very very hn3 indeed

[orchid gazelle]

they shld add this to the alpha ngl

[gleaming acorn]

you're incredibly short

[peak solar]

the game being generally short is fine, just

I hope they're upfront about it

the butterfly effect adding to the replay value

[gleaming acorn]

and should probably delete that image

[limpid pewter]

yep

[near hawk]

I think maybe the main story but there will be sidequests and such iirc

Bro Jensen is just trolling for no reason can we kick him out the server

[limpid pewter]

Bro Jensen:0 is just trolling for no reason can we kick him out the server

[near hawk]

Heh i said it before ya

[limpid pewter]

grr

[hoary heath]

Hello mans

[limpid pewter]

hi

[hoary heath]

I was time out 2 days

[limpid pewter]

He is he’s just trying to ragebait

[hoary heath]

I see someone send this real or fake @limpid pewter

[near hawk]

Real

[limpid pewter]

yep its real

[near hawk]

Nikita sent today

[limpid pewter]

nikita posted it

[hoary heath]

But it no look issac

[gleaming acorn]

real, yeah

[near hawk]

You can look at his messages and you'll find it

[hoary heath]

It different man

?

[meager walrus]

it was a rough concept

[gleaming acorn]

i'll link the message and you'll see why

[meager walrus]

thrown toghether and yeah it remained in the game

[orchid gazelle]

it was created before they even created isaac

[near hawk]

Because it's an early design.

[gleaming acorn]

wasn't a concept at all

[meager walrus]

not concept i meant something else

got it

rough drawing

[limpid pewter]

issac had a bit of a different concept around this time but this is not how issac looked

[gleaming acorn]

#hn3-pre-alpha-chat message

[near hawk]

It might as well have been placeholder of sorts from what i got

[hoary heath]

Isaac vs Jacob @near hawk

[limpid pewter]

what he mean is issac was probably not finished as a actual chracter so niktita made this quick sketch to add him into proto 2

[limpid pewter]

jacob

[near hawk]

Isaac destroys

[limpid pewter]

jacob has lawn o trons

[limpid pewter]

but issac has iris...

[civic totem]

Isaac is a child

[limpid pewter]

well issac had iris

[near hawk]

He'll still dominate Jacob, that's just how it is

[hoary heath]

This man with gun vs jacob with lawn monster robots

[meager walrus]

you know how in pvz there are lawn mowers if the zombies get too close to your house right

[near hawk]

If he can't by his own im helping

[civic totem]

And can't even fight off teenagers in Prototype 3

[meager walrus]

its all connected guys trust

[limpid pewter]

he was holding back

or they kidnapped him when he was asleep

[gleaming acorn]

who wins: child's cool older sister or lawnmower with teeth

[limpid pewter]

they wanted issac gone because he was the strongest...

[near hawk]

Okay but Jacob just dies by himself.
Not even on purpose he just crashes his car like an idiot

[gleaming acorn]

he's driving slow as hell, too

[meager walrus]

hey listen

[limpid pewter]

wait vandals kidnapped issac because he was the strongest

[near hawk]

Truly

What a moron

[limpid pewter]

it all makes sense now

[meager walrus]

raven brooks has always been a town filled with people that are smart

and that dont stop randomly when chasing you

[limpid pewter]

jacob went insane because no iris

he is a evil psychopath who is planning to destroy the town

[near hawk]

Well he cant

He's a loser he'll get wrecked

[limpid pewter]

we will defeat him

AND HIS ARMY OF LAWNMOWERS

[civic totem]

Bruh

"vandalism is getting boring atp" people when they realize they can kidnap a random kid and feed him to the thing in the forest:

[celest plank]

nikita could you tell us the entire lore of hello neighbor 3

[near meadow]

Can someone recreate this render but make it more accurate with the head tilting upwards instead?

[quartz anchor]

Anyone else noticed that hn3 map is kinda like hn2a1 map?

Rundown town, funicular leading to the amusement park, store, gas station, hiking trails

[weak night]

i mean, thats the same image as the one nikita has now

somebody didn't watch the devlogs /j

[agile kelp]

Jacob is a chud

[mild matrix]

i heard a theory that the hello neighbor three guest is Nicky Roth

[agile kelp]

ohh..

[ocean bear]

no i cant sorry

[broken galleon]

yes bro

[finite carbon]

It wouldn’t make much sense

A more sensible theory is if the Guest is Aaron

Now of course it would be epic if Nicky Roth ends up in the final game of HN3

But if he was the Guest then it would make no sense

[restive oxide]

it's probably the worst guest theory on here
since nikita basically debunked it in a tb livestream
'Nicky's story is finished'
him being fd would just give him new lore when his story was already good and wrapped up

[chrome sun]

Quentin might possibly be in it since his fate was not confirmed. But this just a theory

[restive oxide]

quentin would likely be around 70 or dead

[finite carbon]

I wonder who the Guest could be though because they started to hype up that mystery for a while and it seems that in Prototype 3 they started to sort of build up to the big reveal of who it is.

[restive oxide]

the hn3 guest is a different guest than the hn2 guest
so we'll get both the reveal of the forest dweller in hn3
and the hn2 guest in the AS

[near meadow]

Any skilled renderer I beg you please

[jade night]

I think it's very obvious who it is

[peak solar]

speaking of livestream stuff

Nikita said that modern day raven brooks in the alphas Q&A didn't have any computers or advanced technology

that seems to be pretty consistent

since the mobile phone got removed, and payphones are meant to be the replacement

[wide field]

Guys, Why my Fmodel close when i Enter?

Why does the game start crashing and closing when I put the hello neighbor 3pre-alpha version in fmodel

[restive oxide]

make sure you are using the right ue version

[wide field]

I set it to UE 5.6

[restive oxide]

did you enable the mapping file

[wide field]

Yep

But for me, the problem isn't with the UE because I've set it on several UE 5, so I don't know.

I'll try to solve the problem.

[crude ravine]

Forgot it

[wide field]

Could you give me the pre-alpha usmap? I think the usmap I was given was from Prototype 1 and 2.

[restive oxide]

don't have it on me atm
sorry

[untold grotto]

just realized covered was the one who sacrificed isaac

i mean the one that started the ritual

[quartz anchor]

I Hope not tbh
But i wonder where Nicky is

[quartz anchor]

Huh
Nikita reffered to hn2 alphas in devlogs?

[fathom holly]

hi im the neighbor i think the durability system is stupid because what if you accidentally break the last of an item and then you get to the next place you need that item so you're screwed
moral of the story: its jarring and i dont like it

[weak night]

yep, but not the offical release but rather the alphas

[quartz anchor]

I think he preffered the alphas

[celest plank]

no

[untold grotto]

there isnt just one way to do something

[bronze phoenix]

hello everyone

[mystic nimbus]

Where do yall find the pre alpha

[eager glade]

steam

[mystic nimbus]

so if i ask for access i will get it?

[eager glade]

just get it on steam

[crude ravine]

prolly in next versions, items wont be destroyed after broke. Like item thrower and photo machine

still ur sentences wrong, there are so many the same item in the game

[vapid girder]

no ive only found one sledgehammer

[crude ravine]

so, is it destroyed after broke?

[vapid girder]

yes

but its cool that if you reset the day you can get your item back

so if I break it i can reset the day and get it back

[untold grotto]

new teaser if anyone cares

via tB's ig

[limpid pewter]

new assets look sick

[high brook]

So when’s alpha 1-

SOONISH…

[crude ravine]

Shovel looks interactble item

[mystic nimbus]

What do we now about the lore so far

[hoary heath]

Bro some man know but i no

[civic totem]

That's awesome

[ionic bay]

what is this i can see new 3D models

[gleaming acorn]

neighbor figure so they remember who the game is about

[bold siren]

And tiktok. They also posted it on tiktok

[limpid pewter]

bowser is working on hn3 confirmed

[bold siren]

He might be neighbor's VA for the game

[untold grotto]

do the neighbor house having longer fences than other houses means the act2 fences existed in some way?

[bronze phoenix]

or a symbol

[celest ravine]

I hope, that'll be a neat detail

[bronze phoenix]

for something

i wouldent know

[bronze phoenix]

slegehammer coming 🔥

[brave thunder]

isn't it already in game

[bronze phoenix]

but its useless

also hard to find

(i know the location its inside jacob's house in proto 3)

[brave thunder]

it's in bakery storage and it fully functions

[bronze phoenix]

yeah but if ur goal is to beat the game

u wouldent want to go there

[brave thunder]

you can get it under 5 minutes and it will save you way more than 5 minutes

[bronze phoenix]

the baker outside is so sensetive tho

[brave thunder]

you can get into there by jumping from the house next to bakery

[bronze phoenix]

he still get sensetive when i go in the side house

[peak solar]

I guess locks are confirmed to be a thing

[sand flare]

so more locked doors great!😭

[peak solar]

wdym more locked doors?

locks weren't a thing in previous builds

[crude ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/lie-detector-lier-trending-gif-6708574292361340617

[untold grotto]

(b)locked doors probably what they meant

[peak solar]

okay that makes more sense

[narrow gust]

I wonder if there will be a lockpick item for breaking locks 🤔

[tawny yoke]

I hope they'll add some tribute to nicky's house in front of neighbor's house

[tawny yoke]

what about those doors with red pull in locks or something

[hardy silo]

hi i can beat the park part

like that thing always catchs me

i need help-

ig that i cnant befriends with that thing

[crude ravine]

Feed him

Or use flashlight's power mode

[hardy silo]

tysmm

[wide field]

Thanks, but the problem isn't actually with Usmap or UE, I'm trying to fix my Fmodel.

[hardy silo]

i get so scared when that thing is near

they made it really creepy

[wide field]

Hi guys

[hardy silo]

man i love this pre alpha sm

[hardy silo]

hii

[crude ravine]

Thing ❌
The guest ✅

[near hawk]

The Guest❌
The forest dweller✅

[crude ravine]

Same

Thing

[near hawk]

No

I mean, kind of but not really.

[crude ravine]

Fd = guest's placeholder name

For p1 and 2

[lusty dove]

kinda.

the forest dweller is not the guest.

[jaunty torrent]

yes yes it's nikki

we know

[lusty dove]

remember that, according to Nikita, there is the "guest" and the guest

[lusty dove]

maybe he/she did not

[near hawk]

The Guest and The "guest" thing though

[crude ravine]

"Guest" is fd
Guest is the legend

[untold grotto]

well FD is code name for the "guest"

[near hawk]

Yeah

[crude ravine]

Still guest

[lusty dove]

exactly

[untold grotto]

i personally use FD to avoid confusion but its official name is the "guest"

[jaunty torrent]

doesn't matter because he looks cool

[limpid pewter]

yes

yes i do admit i should have kept on hn3 topic

[eager glade]

thats against the book

[limpid pewter]

lets all calm down and take a sip of quetins coffee

well i am hyped for alpha 1

the new teaser/tiktok tb posted of new assets looked cool

[lyric vine]

played hello neighbor 3:

Just like Hello Neighbor 2 I didn't need to look up much of anything which is AMAZING.
The AI isn't all that great.. But it's a pre-alpha so it makes sense. Just please don't make them follow you to the ends of the earth. That can get really annoying.
Also I do hope they add more to the protagonist like Nicky and Quentin. Make them a likeable character
The ONLY real problem I had with this game was the end part because the "Guest" Raven guy just constantly resets you. Please figure out a way to make the guest scary to encounter but not annoying!
For all the other NPC's when they catch you they grab you and throw you outside their house without taking any of your stuff which was a NEEDED problem. But for some reason they thought/made the guest grab you and then essentially kill you which resets where you were and takes all your stuff making getting to where you need to go absolutely horrible.
Also they got rid of the vaulting which I don't like and also don't get? I thought that was a amazing mechanic because one of the things that made HN1 bad in my opinion was the stacking boxes thing.
I also think they should come up with something to do when you pick up the NPC's because so far all you can do is just drop them off somewhere and then they just get back up like nothing happened. So there's not real reason to even pick them up.

Overall I really enjoyed the game's design and look it just needs major fixes!

[crude ravine]

Am i the only person not having problems fd?

Even with not feeding or using flashlight

[orchid gazelle]

honestly i also did like the vaulting in hn2 as well

i hope they bring it back even if its a nerfed version lol

[rigid jasper]

same bro

idk why people say hes so bad

just bring 2 flashlights and hold click when he makes his attack sond cue

[gleaming acorn]

we JUST got almira, let her marinate for a build or two lol

[jagged prism]

dear god why is the journey to the museum so painful

[jagged prism]

yes its a pre alpha but they've now had 2 other games to have a good foundation for AI, they need to figure this stuff out too you know..

[pastel narwhal]

besides the dumb ai which we can give some slack the game was put together pretty well

Reminded me of the HG prototype

[severe merlin]

What journey do you take?

HN3 is built with many ways to achieve your goal and way to optimize routes. If something feels extremely hard or tedious it usually means there’s other, simpler and more interesting way to reach your goal.

[dense fractal]

does pre alpha take place after prototype 3 or am i stupid

[crude ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-mario-phone-check-walk-gif-15818126186478764678

[dense fractal]

?

[crude ravine]

protptypes alphas etc just an test versions

[dense fractal]

oh

yeah im stupid

[crude ravine]

For take players' feedback

[limpid pewter]

well theres a bit more than just feedback but yeah they arent 100 percent canon

[light tapir]

nikita will locks and keys be added in hn3

[severe merlin]

Yes

[restive oxide]

will locks apply to NPCs too or only player
in the past and current builds NPCs can for the most part walk right through gates and barricades

[low gate]

thats a bit like asking if grand theft auto will have guns

you cant have hello neighbor without padlocks and keys its one in the same

[untold grotto]

pretty sure he did say npcs will be able to use keys to open the locked doors

and they fixed them being able to go through locked doors

[storm cave]

how did they will works? Like, considering that you can break literally everything in the game, why would they be needed?

[oblique parcel]

Honestly I’m not sure I like everything being breakable especially that just simply using items breaks them

Feels a bit like an overkill to me

[grizzled spoke]

when will the finished game come?

[lunar trail]

when its finished

[trim pine]

I'm sorry if I sound naive, but why is the hiking route to the amusement park cutoff? I was avoiding the guest and trying to get there, thinking that it's an optional journey, but then it just turns out to be a dead end due to the collapsed bridge. I'm really sorry for bothering, it's just that I thought I have to say it as a form of feedback.

[lunar trail]

That is a fair question tbh

[untold grotto]

its not cutoff though

you can jump by the bridge with eating food

[night vigil]

That happened to me too lol. I also thought that was an optional hard kinda path and than the trial just ended with the big gap

[night vigil]

Well too bad, my inventory was stacked with flashlights. No time for food

[pseudo spoke]

This is actually something I've thought about as well.
For a game with multiple routes and ways of progressing it sure is missing multiple ways to the park. I guess once you figure out the Guest it could be too easy. I kinda hope in the future they add more to the trail and make it an actual route you can take. Maybe you need to like, repair a bridge first or something. Make it more interesting

[trim trout]

It’s giving hn1 pre alpha vibes

[night vigil]

That could also be connected to the whole “get the townsfolk to help you” thing going on in the pre alpha. Like Jacob fixing the lights for the trial to the museum, ones you give the episode thingy he wanted. That was pretty cool imo

[pseudo spoke]

Yeah I really like how he does that, and the Historian is meant to set off fireworks (which would help with the Guest)
Honestly I hope there's more of that in general

[night vigil]

I really hope they add more characters. Then they could make more of that kinda stuff I think

[near hawk]

Isaac and a new guy/gal are the only confirmed ones to come.

That's 10 people already.
And who knows If there will be more spikes in people like there was for prototype 3.

[pseudo spoke]

I wonder if they'll make characters able to actually use flashlights
Would be cool to have someone be able to go into the woods in order to do something
Jacob kind of almost gets killed fixing the Museum lights lol

[trim trout]

What abt a hiker

[mellow garden]

will you gonna make a stream?||(on your youtube channel or tinybuild one)||

[night vigil]

It would be hilarious just seeing Jacob run from the guest while flashing a light at him. That could also look pretty cool, if they do it right.

[granite solar]

anyone knows when is the official hn3 will be launched?

[civic totem]

No, there's no release date for the full game currently

[ionic bay]

Next version maybe?

[crude ravine]

2027 or 28 i think

[rotund plaza]

We already have Andrew smith

The weather station

Alma hoffman*

[rotund plaza]

No one knows, the patience is the key

[rotund plaza]

What kinda question is that

[near hawk]

She uses both so like

[rotund plaza]

I will still refer to her as Alma

[jagged prism]

i get the 4 papers then head to the museum

to be quite honest im not even sure how that playstyle can be differed from any other gameplay experience in this game so if you’re asking for a more specific question sorry.

ive played the game a few times since the pre alpha launch and everytime i just did the 4 papers because thats what the quests directs you

[jagged prism]

what if they slashed half of the characters and went all in on the AI 🤔 just a suggestion

im sure the biggest hurdle in this 3rd installment is the fact that these ais have different styles when it comes to defending their territory, and i did try befriending some of them but it didnt work

[rotund plaza]

Forest Aaron Theory: The HN3 guest is Aaron

[nimble walrus]

Imagine locking in NPC's that you find annoying, in a room where are no windows or anything.

[rotund plaza]

First of all, we all know HN3 guest IS not real guests, right?

HN3 guest is mentally insane

[untold grotto]

none of the guest is not real guest

[rotund plaza]

HN3 guest sees Teddy as a monster

<@&1162799252192379000>

[rotund plaza]

Correction: the actual guest is a false God

But the actual guest definitely IS real

[untold grotto]

there is no "actual guest"

[rotund plaza]

We are talking about the urban legend the actual guest

[untold grotto]

urban legend = a form of folklore consisting of unusual, humorous, or frightening stories that circulate as true accounts but are typically unverified or apocryphal

which means

its not real

[lunar trail]

well it coould be

some people believe in them

[untold grotto]

i personally dont think some god protecting the town from misfortunes is a grounded thing

[night vigil]

I’m pretty sure it’s gonna stay a mystery if it’s actually real or not. That’s what makes it so interesting

[lunar trail]

i was talking about the concepts of urban legends

it doesnt mean its not real, it cooould be real

[untold grotto]

usually they are not real though

[lunar trail]

well thats what you think

they cooould be real and some people do believe that they cooould be real

[night vigil]

It cooould be real yeah. It cooould maybe possibly be real

[lunar trail]

truest

[rotund plaza]

The forest protector is an urban legend and it's proven.

[untold grotto]

it is not

FPs and cults are seemingly different

[rotund plaza]

(not really, the urban legend says that they're an humanoid brd)

[rotund plaza]

How so?

[untold grotto]

its like every other urban legend
FPs originated from a real core but theyre not same

[rotund plaza]

Oh

[untold grotto]

iirc FPs described as raven guys or something in urban legend

[rotund plaza]

Oh yeah, the urban legend FPs and the "real" FPs are not the same

[rotund plaza]

But that is only mentioned in the books

We are not sure about the Nikita timeline "actual" FPs

[untold grotto]

because FPs are only book only thing?

in the other medias its just cultists rather than having a specific name

and there is not even a forest protector in hn3

[rotund plaza]

I Made a mistake, I'm tired

[untold grotto]

we havent even seen single cult-related thing yet

[crude ravine]

Where is fp in hn3? Show us

[rotund plaza]

There is no fp in HN3

[crude ravine]

Im remembering ure saying forest protectors are in hn3

[rotund plaza]

Nope, that is not what I meant

[bitter gust]

hey guys

it's me

[crude ravine]

💀

[gleaming acorn]

omg is that the forest protector in hn3

[mighty orchid]

No that’s just Nicky

[bronze phoenix]

what did i do bruh

[devout burrow]

Reset whole shi i dont think open map works for hn

[bitter gust]

Shush...

they took away my house...

[outer tusk]

When does hello neighbor 3 takes place

[mystic nimbus]

Why are we blue in this game

[tawny yoke]

artstyle choice

[untold grotto]

2028

February 29 2028 - April 1 2028

[outer tusk]

Oh ok! What about the other games? Im new to the lore

[untold grotto]

h&s is 1995 and the other ones are 1996 (expect hn1 act3 taking place in 2017)

[celest plank]

this is so phenomenal bro

[outer tusk]

Oh ok!

[untold grotto]

he is asking in what way you are going to museum

there is like 2 way to do that i believe

[tawny yoke]

I'm wondering if this game will kind of polish/fix the story of the previous games

or is it kind of completely different iteration of the story

[gleaming acorn]

ain't nothing fixing them brody

[fickle sand]

bro i the game is so hard

[tawny yoke]

😭 😭

maybe there is a chance......,,

completely ignore hn2 and polish some hn1 story elements 🔥

[pseudo spoke]

The whole point of the game is that you only have to do things like that once to progress. It's why knowledge saves between runs.
TLDR: You don't need to collect the papers every time you play the game, since you already have the knowledge they provide.
You can just start a run now and head straight to the Museum, which there are multiple ways of doing too.

[fickle sand]

is hn3 good?

i test it or nah?

[tawny yoke]

I really enjoyed it

it was really fun for me

[fickle sand]

if it is the same like hn2 nah

[tawny yoke]

nahh

[fickle sand]

really?

[tawny yoke]

different

its like actual open world you can enter any house while in hn2 it was kind of limited from what I remember

[fickle sand]

bc the ia in hn2 and hn1 holy

[fickle sand]

holy that looks great

[tawny yoke]

most house aren't finished though

pre alpha after all

[fickle sand]

it's a pre-alpha that's why

[civic totem]

It's good

[tawny yoke]

I wonder if they will make every house a something

[fickle sand]

bro my friend just tell me that the crow man

is scary as hell

holy

[crude ravine]

Ofc every building will has a function

[fickle sand]

he tell me that game is like different and scary

[tawny yoke]

yeah its a lot different

[tawny yoke]

thats awesome

I was hoping that

but also thought that maybe some houses will be simply blocked

[crude ravine]

Nikita was said there will be no empty houses in hn3

We can intreact with everything

[tawny yoke]

thats nice

https://tenor.com/view/baldi-gif-888936646762526192

[light tapir]

maybe the npc will unlock doors and lock them again in order to not phase through them

[gleaming acorn]

i've seen signed saw down boarded up doors a whole one time

unfortunately, they keep phasing through doors so it's not very often

[celest plank]

if anyone still plays pre alpha tell me what yall do

[brave thunder]

beat jacob with rc car until storm comes

[light tapir]

it gets boring very easily

[celest plank]

this image alone makes me pretty confident there's just gonna be so much stuff

i hope the game will be replayable

[light tapir]

if they add many endings with story meaning

[crude ravine]

Im wondering the drill

[celest plank]

they will

[light tapir]

i hope they do

[crude ravine]

Also use this

[celest plank]

what

[light tapir]

its almost the same

[crude ravine]

Idc

[tawny yoke]

I hope when they remake the ai it will be more interesting to sneak inside the houses

because historian hears everything going on inside the museum from the main entrance

[brave thunder]

they'll just got wallhacks once they saw you

[light tapir]

they will its not finished yet

[brave thunder]

pov making hn3

[tawny yoke]

oh yeah I remember

worded that poorly my abd

[mystic nimbus]

why are the people not human in this game

[tawny yoke]

they are human its an artistic choice

so it is uncanny and eerie

[mystic nimbus]

uh

ok

[brave thunder]

cuz valve bought the game and now it's left for die 3

[peak solar]

Since you answered the question about artstyles earlier

I'm sorta curious

how many people work on art assets for Hello Neighbor 3?

[fickle sand]

when hn3 release yall think?

[crystal hare]

late 2027 ig (not the confirmed info)

[fickle sand]

like full release

HOLY

[celest plank]

2028

[bold siren]

The watermark really annoys you that bad?

[hoary heath]

Yes

[crude ravine]

my version is clean

[celest plank]

lichally the same thing

[near hawk]

Yeah but one is cleaner

[barren lagoon]

guys i was playing hello neighbor 3 pre-alpha and ts house looks familliar (just started)

[crude ravine]

U didnt play prototype 3?

[barren lagoon]

nah

was to busy beating hello neighbor 2

[celest plank]

if anything that hand gets in the way the text doesnt cover anything anyway

[crude ravine]

Its too easy

[barren lagoon]

its easy with guide

i didnt have one

[crude ravine]

Even without tuto

[near hawk]

Yeah but it looks better that way

[celest plank]

Fridge.

[barren lagoon]

it taked me 2 weeks..

[celest plank]

No.

[crude ravine]

[barren lagoon]

ye ik i am bad

[crude ravine]

I guess because of otto

[barren lagoon]

ye

[civic totem]

I like how the crowbar and hammer have tape on them

[barren lagoon]

lol

i did not saw it before

[celest plank]

the tape makes them 50% stronger

[barren lagoon]

damn why didnt i know ts before

i would add 3 layers

[celest plank]

the crowbar is also like broken in half

the tape just puts it back together

really effective

[barren lagoon]

like minecraft healing potion

btw i have never saw blue crowbar

[restive oxide]

every crowbar in hn3 is blue

or do you mean irl

[barren lagoon]

i mean irl

[restive oxide]

ok

[celest plank]

blue crowbar looks so good

[barren lagoon]

fr

[celest plank]

better than any crowbar ever in hn

[barren lagoon]

i need one

[celest plank]

screw red crowbars mate

[crude ravine]

He says red part of crowbar

[wild girder]

Are the vandals still kinda cult-like? I don't think they are because it seems more like they're just chasing after The Guest legend instead of actively worshipping it.

[rotund plaza]

Story-ISH

[rotund plaza]

I think they already did

[untold grotto]

i do think they are, because isaacs story is not implemented yet and vandals seems purposeless in the game

[pulsar cradle]

HII any content about alpha 1?

[white pendant]

No

[untold grotto]

theres one

unless you already seen it

[pulsar cradle]

Yesss finally locks and updated binoculars

[light tapir]

will a church be added in hn3

[pulsar cradle]

I don’t think so

[untold grotto]

theres already a church in pre alpha though

[light tapir]

where

[untold grotto]

in the graveyard

[crude ravine]

List:
New binoculars model
New photo machine model
New camera model
New item drill
New lock model (maybe it will be in alpha 1?)
Shovel may be interactable item
New movie thing model
Electric thing from hello guest

[dry gate]

Hi everyone

[versed ravine]

Since they're updating all the prop models I hope this means they'll start adding hand animations for the items

[restive oxide]

animations are not a huge priority at the moment
it's better they work on the code and stuff and get every object in the game first

[versed ravine]

I get that but also the floating items get a bit annoying

[restive oxide]

hand animations for every item in the game is a big task

[versed ravine]

I'd at least like an option to hide your item like hn2

[dry gate]

What's the status of Alpha 1? I know the Pre-Alpha version has already been released, but will Alpha 1 take several more months to come out, just like the Pre-Alpha did? I know, it's a stupid question

[restive oxide]

hn2 has roughly 70-100 holding anims, with crouching variants and you can't even interact with that much in the game

hn3 will be even more probably

[crude ravine]

The game isnt an prototype anymore

They should make small details

[restive oxide]

yes but they should wait until later when they have most items implemented

[rotund plaza]

They're already working on it? Damn they need a break

[untold grotto]

the development started month before pre alphas release

[rotund plaza]

HN3 dev are insane

[versed ravine]

Or they're just doing their job

Like this is their career

Like anyone else's full time job

They can't really afford to take breaks willy nilly

[severe merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/true-correct-dwight-schrute-rainn-wilson-right-gif-23822659

[limpid pewter]

hi nikita just wondering how is the next build going so far

[crude ravine]

They're working abt new mechanics rn i think

Like drill rc car etc

[eager glade]

hey nikita can we have small sneak peek in new character concept art👀

[limpid pewter]

always bet on hn3 alpha 1

[crude ravine]

tbh

Alpha 1 gonna be peak

[celest plank]

always bet on hn3

[crude ravine]

Unlike pre alpha

[celest plank]

i hope alpha 1 will be a little more distinct

pre alpha felt really similar to p3

[crude ravine]

Prototype 3.5

[crude ravine]

Isaac and an new npc will be added probably. One of the house will be not empty. New 3d models. New mechanics (like the drill). Probably locks and keys will be added. So yeah alpha 1 will be soo different

[tacit junco]

is it possible to kill anyone?

as in softlock them

[crude ravine]

U can give npcs to forest dweller

Other wise, nope

[zinc delta]

nikita when classroom prototype droppin?

especially GIANT MONSTER

[crude ravine]

#hn3-discussion

[zinc delta]

thats this channel

[limpid pewter]

it prob wont well not for a good while

[jade night]

Huh?

Did Nikita say recently that he would release them?

[high brook]

i wonder if he will release introversion

i really really REALLY want to play it

[limpid pewter]

no

[jade night]

Oh well

They aren't gonna release for a few years probably

Lol

[limpid pewter]

yep

[crude ravine]

Train one except all of the prototypes are unfinished ig

[limpid pewter]

yep

[high brook]

thats what a prototype is is it not

?

[limpid pewter]

well tbf introversion looked somewhat finished

[crude ravine]

Unfinished protoype

[limpid pewter]

unfinished gameplay

[jade night]

Nikita likes to have a beginning and end in a build I'm pretty sure

So from Auditorium, he only really got the classroom done

[pulsar cradle]

nikita please dont rush ur game

[jade night]

And just had fun in the map adding things

[thick tendon]

The Guest is diana Peterson

Bye

[crude ravine]

Which game?

[tacit junco]

what

[pulsar cradle]

alpha 1

[crude ravine]

💀

[jade night]

Giant Monster started in your apartment, I forgot the goal but the gameplay was there just not fully fleshed out

[crude ravine]

All hn3 versions will be peak

Trust

[limpid pewter]

alpha 1s development has already started

[limpid pewter]

goal was seek shelter and food and warmth

[jade night]

Yeah

There's not really an outlined way to beat it

So it was just a base gameplay loop

[limpid pewter]

and auditoriams was survive as a sub teacher against students for a week

[jade night]

I rewrote the Auditorium story a bit for my remake

It's neat

[atomic forge]

Guys, I think Neighbor won't return in Avengers Doomsday...

[limpid pewter]

and from the intorvert option of introversion goal was to avoid people to keep energy high

frick

[pulsar cradle]

dang i got hacked with those photos too

[limpid pewter]

wrong person

[jade night]

Your best friend was a professor at the Auditorium, he stopped writing to you and you came to the conclusion he had disappeared for some reason, you apply yourself as a professor position and work for a week at the Auditorium, the train comes once a week since it's a mostly abandoned town.

[limpid pewter]

nice

we lowk need more rbo fangames

like theres pretty much none public

[pulsar cradle]

bro how come people say p1 feels like pre alpha or smth

[limpid pewter]

prototype 1

?

[pulsar cradle]

ye

[crude ravine]

How

[limpid pewter]

how

they have completely different atomspheres

protos 1 was really just eerie

and pre alpha is eerie but cozy

[crude ravine]

Prolly bc of dying mechanic

[jade night]

Soon

[pulsar cradle]

sorry but whats eerie?

[limpid pewter]

hmm

[bronze steppe]

p1 is just nostalgic ngl

[limpid pewter]

yep but in terms of gameplay it sucked booty

[bronze steppe]

yea

[limpid pewter]

but tbf it was a prototype

[near hawk]

Unsettling.

[limpid pewter]

like the first public prototype

and wasnt even meant to be public

i really want rbo prototype 2

it looked so good

[bronze steppe]

the only thing that i need for the next ver is the bar from P2 that shows how friendly you are with that NPC; whether you're friends or enemies

[limpid pewter]

but probably run like booty

[limpid pewter]

YES

[bronze steppe]

it didnt look that bad

[limpid pewter]

and make it a toggable setting

[bronze steppe]

yea

[eager glade]

STOP IT

[crude ravine]

Its unecessary i think. If npcs attack to u, its ur enemy. If not attackts, friend or stranger to u

[native nexus]

Are you seeing the thing?

[eager glade]

[limpid pewter]
