[quartz canopy]

like

guest leviathan in hello neighbor 3 raven brooks lakes

[lunar trail]

Is Gebo what the Vandals trying to do in P3 i wonder

[near hawk]

And it also happens that Dweller gets active in 2008 and this may just be a coincidente but HaS is in 1996

[tall sorrel]

and then we theorized based off the meaning of each rune what it could be saying about the story

[tall sorrel]

oh wait yeah forgot the Dweller 2008 Leap Year part!

[untold grotto]

GA founded mayak to research storms when the town was founded

mayak disappearings

the townspeople had a pact with the guest, and storms stopped

mayak stopped functioning, it led GA to try other sectors such as cinema

[lunar trail]

I wonder how much of that is reflected in reality though, like is the Folklore closer to reality in the HN Universe, or there's a different reason for the storms that we don't know

Like Ted in Mayak maybe

[quartz canopy]

wow i get it i dont matter ok

[untold grotto]

also the mural has the guest protecting them from storm, meaning there was storms before

[lunar trail]

i think thats a slop theory

[near hawk]

Mr slop and slopw got beef

[eager glade]

they never learn brownys veery interesting theories

[zenith kernel]

• I have a theory about the guest/forrest dweller. If you read the hello neighbor book about a weather situation or whatever it's name, we discover the guest has the abilities to change/shapeshift to anyone. In HN3 P3 we can see isaac had a expression where he gets scared off the forrest dweller, however many peiple speculate that the guest is aaron or nicky roth. There's no clear answer about this as much as i know, but the forrest dweller possibly did not age but his form changed to fit the HN3 environment

[eager glade]

bruhness mcgee

[tall sorrel]

unfortunately it has been confirmed that no version of the Guest is supernatural
those scenes from Raven Brooks Disaster are likely symbolic in nature

[zenith kernel]

What do you mean by "Version"?

[untold grotto]

wondering when aaron started doing the kidnappings (i know these are started in 2008)

[eager glade]

ayo bruh

bruh: wassup

wassup: what?

what: yo

yo: yo

yoyo: who wanan play with me

[untold grotto]

but what i mean is, did he started doing that right after he escaped from his dad

[zenith kernel]

I guess alex have been teasing season 3 a bit much

[tall sorrel]

there are at least three different Guests
the one from the Books (which is Theodore Peterson)
the one from Hello Neighbor 2/Welcome to Raven Brooks (We'll learn their identity in Welcome to Raven Brooks Season 3)
and the one from Hello Neighbor 3 (Nikita confirmed he doesn't know who the Hello Neighbor 2 Guest is and Guest and Theodore are separate in Hello Neighbor 3, thus a third Guest.)

[zenith kernel]

I know this is a hype-ad type of movement but it's been a very 2 years

[lunar trail]

I don't think the books is Theodore

[untold grotto]

i alwasys imagined him escaping in one of the storms

[lunar trail]

Honestly i think the books version might actually be supernatural, considering Nikita wasnt involved with the books

[tall sorrel]

or at the very least whatever's going on at the end of Graphic Novel 2

which could be why Nikita's wanting to do the Urban Legend stuff with the Books? (lack of involvement and him not wanting to have to deal with supernatural stuff with his storytelling)

[near hawk]

He did work on TRBD it seems

[tall sorrel]

oh yeah
that's something I should say newcomer
the Books and Welcome to Raven Brooks are canonically Urban Legends/Stories about Raven Brooks, based in truth yes, but may not have the details right

[zenith kernel]

I don't think there are, the guest is a single entity that was discovered to have abilities in the books. The guest's forms are different but it's just dependent only on the game environment as i said. If HN3 kept it's art style it would've be the same

[smoky haven]

the storm senses everytime a chop enters the town...

[lunar trail]

Thats not something you should tell to a newcomer, what you should tell to a newcomer is that they're just separate continuities

[untold grotto]

leap day

[lunar trail]

less complicated, makes more sense in the eyes of a newcomer

same answer anyway

[smoky haven]

aka my point stands #gonewiththestormitsachop

[tall sorrel]

...fair.

[near hawk]

He means why did it happen that way

[zenith kernel]

I think a bunch of the hello neighbo fandom forgot about the shadow man from hello neighbour 1

[lunar trail]

We haven't forgotten about The Thing

[near hawk]

Heh not.

[near hawk]

Just what is there to talk about a thing we know everything about

[eager glade]

i mean come on the thing isnt that big

[zenith kernel]

It seemed like no one mentions the thing as he could be a part of the story of hn3

[lunar trail]

He's not though

[near hawk]

Nope.

[civic totem]

Yeah, even when the festival was cancelled in the 80s there were no town-destroying storms

[untold grotto]

he wont

[eager glade]

hes just nickys fea

[tall sorrel]

The Thing is canonically just a representation of Fear

[grim lark]

Not really no

[near hawk]

Nikita confirmed he cant, even

[eager glade]

and no one care bout nicky

[untold grotto]

i think we explained it above

[tall sorrel]

unless Alma has something to fear
the Thing can't appear

[untold grotto]

the storms have gotten stronger and stronger

[smoky haven]

okay but can he speak about the chop storm...

[grim lark]

The thing had one single purpose and it was filled

[lunar trail]

the what storm

[grim lark]

No need to milk it

[zenith kernel]

"For the alma" what does he possibly mean

[smoky haven]

the chop storm... its chop.. chopped.. no more storm

[eager glade]

one thing that i would talk about that would include the thing

[lunar trail]

Alma is the player character in HN3

[eager glade]

would be aaron wearing the same mask as nicky in the AS

[lunar trail]

[smoky haven]

yeah but for the alma sounds like shes like some heavenly entity

[lunar trail]

what if she is

[zenith kernel]

I just call her the newslady

Because she's trying to get a report

[near hawk]

She looks like one

[eager glade]

alma is bootiful

[smoky haven]

a heavenily entity that dies via storm ?... this chop

[eager glade]

alma nicepersons

[lunar trail]

[civic totem]

Bruh

[smoky haven]

this uncanny ahh lighting

[zenith kernel]

HN3 is a great game from P1 to P3. It's just now it has less cutscenes and still include stuff that was left in the old versions

[eager glade]

ofc tit gotless cutscenes

[zenith kernel]

Less cutscenes, more gameplay

[eager glade]

we no need cutscenes only intro and ending

[smoky haven]

but the cutscenes and the animation work are the best parts of hello neighbor 💔💔

[civic totem]

What did you think about the Pre-Alpha?

[eager glade]

cutscenes will play but like while we play idk how to explain

[lunar trail]

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-the-boys-tv-show-it's-peak-sad-gif-8715873398474566351

[eager glade]

u dont sit back and watch u play and watch like a fortnite live event

[untold grotto]

yeah nikita have said there will be some kind of playable intro section

[zenith kernel]

I played it, it was good and medium. It doesn't have more content such endings, cutscenes, items tec

The fall jump thing is just annoying to someone who used to jump from a high place

[eager glade]

if we want cutscenes

we gotta wait for the future hello neighbor game coming out

[zenith kernel]

Why does it even reset? I lose all my progress and i can't even have a proper play

[smoky haven]

see thats my big issue

i hate how everything just resets

[eager glade]

i mean

the objectives save

[civic totem]

#hn3-discussion message

[smoky haven]

idk we had this convo earlier and everyone called me crazy but i swear to god this is the most unfun ive had in a game 😭

[zenith kernel]

Possibly still in progress

[grim lark]

The issue is that it feels like youve done so much for nothing

[near hawk]

Because if it went on for Forever NPCs would be aimlessly wandering

[grim lark]

Since it all gets wiped

[smoky haven]

okay objectives stay... nothing else does so i have to redo everything its just so unfun to me

[zenith kernel]

Yeah but all my items and everything that was supposed to be done

[lunar trail]

the reset is annoying yea, but the game's concept kinda needs it to work

[civic totem]

They need to make less stuff resets but at the same time not make it so nothing resets

[smoky haven]

😭 yeah but everytime i watch people play this game they just call it frustrating

[near hawk]

Well i think later on it could get annoying but for pre alpha i don't mind it

[smoky haven]

so like... something neesd to be done

[civic totem]

Who agrees with me?

[near hawk]

Because once you get all the notes you just know where to go and you can skip a lot of parts

[zenith kernel]

Is there a tl;dr

[smoky haven]

that is true but also literally everyone just dies if you dont do everything all over again so its just like

[eager glade]

i figured out this i figured out that and it tells me to go to a location if i aint there yet and im too late sure itll reset but i did everything else and still gotta go to the area

[smoky haven]

idk i personally and alot of other people find the gameplay very frustrating

[zenith kernel]

Ai issue

[eager glade]

it prob sucks at first eve gameplay buteh

[civic totem]

No, I don't think so
Sorry..

[smoky haven]

exactly like people are acting as if it isnt a easy change to do

[rigid jasper]

i feel like nikita has letsplayer-proofed hn3 (which is a good thing) because it requires patience and more than surface-level knowledge of how to play

[smoky haven]

give them more tasks. more stuff to do if hello neighbor 2 beta could do it im so sure hello neighbor 3 can as well

[zenith kernel]

I mean, jacob shall have his in-ai type of objectives such work, fixing his car, etc.

Same for all

[smoky haven]

exactly just give them more tasks i find the whole die in a storm and do everything over and over again so frustrating

maybe hn 3 just isnt for me and thats okay

but i wish it was because i love the style 😭

[zenith kernel]

It's more of my vibe to be honest

The soundtrack is great

Unknown ambient is my favourite

[stoic cliff]

i found a bug in the game lol

[smoky haven]

exactly, the vibe is awesome, graphics are beautiful but the game play is just so 💔 i really dont like the loop thing i get the idea behind it and its such a cool concept but oh my god in actual gameplay having to redo almost everything is just so annoying

[white breach]

btw i did the rail bug

[zenith kernel]

@quartz canopy hey not meaning to bother but are you going to make a in-game secrets video

[smoky haven]

okay i die via storm now i have to give everyone their items otherwise everyone just dies

[near hawk]

Nikita talked about some kind of hub for the player that would save items iirc.
I think that could be useful.

[smoky haven]

😭 uhhh...

idk

[lunar trail]

what hub

how does that work

[smoky haven]

atp i think its straight up just the concept that is really flawed in my opinion because on paper its awesome but in gameplay it just frustrates people

[zenith kernel]

Hub? PlanBoard, Plan Place etc.

[civic totem]

Where and when?

[zenith kernel]

It's connected to the objectives Hud ui

[near hawk]

#hn3-discussion message
Misremembered a bit

[lunar geode]

hi guys

[near hawk]

This as well

[lunar geode]

i kinda now think that there is a possibility of Aaron being the guest in hn3

[astral plinth]

i think the storm will work better in the final game. At the moment there’s only one core ending, but in the final game there are supposed to be multiple endings based on choices you make. So far it only revolves around saving people, but there will also be mystery solving.

[near hawk]

But also he said they don't want to make it

[lunar geode]

is it confirmed that aaron won’t be in petersons basement anymore

[untold grotto]

he said its scrapped and they figured it out in other way

[eager glade]

maaaanwaht

[civic totem]

Where?

[eager glade]

i mean he obviously would be out

[zenith kernel]

More of "Repurpose"

[smoky haven]

😭 tbh yeah of course but i have the issue with the storm in general. i think personally it should be a natural occurance that you have to survive instead of it just being the end of the game

[rigid jasper]

not confirmed but peterson does not live in his original house anymore

[smoky haven]

when i play these prototypes and alphas i noticed that i get really really stressed and overwhelmed even in pre alpha rn where its just way too frustrating for me

[white breach]

alpha 2 is ez

i speedrunned it and i got 1 minute

[zenith kernel]

grandeturisto is such a talented person of wr ca agree, I'm pretty sure he is working hard on the game and doesn't want to rush it.

[eager glade]

gotta post that on the tok brooo 😎 😎 🥶 🥶 🫱 🫱

[astral plinth]

fair enough.

[zenith kernel]

Tiktok?

[smoky haven]

well i just hope in the future if the loop does stay its way more fun then just an annoyance

[zenith kernel]

You might never know

[eager glade]

im sure it will be fun if the town has sooo many secrets and mysteries

[astral plinth]

in my experience when you’re just exploring it doesn’t matter, but when you’re trying to accomplish things it can be a pain

[smoky haven]

EXACTLY

[zenith kernel]

It will have Easter Eggs from other games

[dense fractal]

hello neighbor 7 when

[smoky haven]

like okay i hate the fact i have to redo everything like literally everything but the stuff thats mainline like for example janush literally just explodes if you dont give him the book and having to do that over and over and over again is really annoying

same with jacob

[eager glade]

not the most parts

i wouldnt say easter eggs

i would say pieces that connect with other games or/past maybe

[zenith kernel]

You never expect it

[astral plinth]

i think the museum will hold the most secrets to the past

[zenith kernel]

Our lives are just expected as the weather like grande said

[smoky haven]

why did i just imagine ariana grande when you said that

[eager glade]

yeah

[zenith kernel]

What about the other places?

[astral plinth]

the cinema could do too, especially if it’s the vandals hide out and has the secret tunnels

[eager glade]

historians house has a photo of her as a little girl so thats still past

[zenith kernel]

I guess we can all say nikita choose a wise name for his personality

[smoky haven]

is he playing glinda....

[astral plinth]

actually I have a theory

[smoky haven]

let us be hello ! let us be neighbor !

[zenith kernel]

Not sure

I feel like i want to commission someone from the soundtrack team for hn3

[astral plinth]

opposite the historian’s house is an empty building that looks like it’ll be a town hall or something like that. Or maybe a library. We could find stuff out there when it gets finished.

there’s so many unmarked buildings, i presumed most would be residences but we could get a library or a hospital or even a police station.

[smoky haven]

isnt the ost by nikita himself ? xDD

[zenith kernel]

Yeah such ambient track 6 and others but the others

[lunar trail]

No, It's by Siarhei isn't it

[zenith kernel]

I liked unknown ambient 2

[zenith kernel]

It just gives like a intro for a Disney Show

[lunar trail]

Nikita gives direction and Siarhei does the tracks

[zenith kernel]

Does siarhei has a portfolio or has commissions

Was his usernamr tvroca or something

[lunar trail]

I'm not sure, Siarhei Malashonak is the full name, you can look it up

yea

tvorca

[astral plinth]

Nikita did do some music for the game, it only played on the radios.

[zenith kernel]

Yeah i think he has a portfolio

I will look over it

But i must say he's great

[lunar trail]

He's a great composer

He did all of the HN2 tracks aswell

[lunar geode]

I know that’s pretty obvious since it’s clearly shown that petersons house was burned and he started living in an abandoned musemen but he prob changed his location it doesn’t need to be a basement where aaron is locked up it can be the attic

[lunar trail]

and some of trailer tracks for HN games aswell

[astral plinth]

Theo likely couldn’t hide in the museum any more so moved to the Mayak

[jade night]

Huh?

[astral plinth]

the radios that the characters listen to. All the songs on there were Nikita’s own songs

[lunar geode]

why not tho

and i don’t think peterson will go back to weather station

[astral plinth]

I assumed because the cult found him, or the police

[jade night]

Nah, those are just reused RBO tracks composed by siarhei. I can tell because one of them is just a edited RBO track, and a lot of them use a drum loop from that same RBO track lol

[astral plinth]

oh ok. I saw Nikita say he composed them somewhere, they coul be from both of them

[jade night]

He composed the music in RBO prototype

[astral plinth]

right I get it now 👍

[wild girder]

I wanna know. Apart from the obvious failed promises, what are some other things about HN2 do you like/don't like?

[smoky haven]

i like: graphics, music, art design/character design, sound design

dont like: way too little theodore content, the ai being really choppy

[lunar trail]

wouldnt that be discussed in #hello-neighbor

[astral plinth]

honestly agreed

[wild girder]

I honestly like the puzzles and progression of HN2 however, I don't like how I can't really achieve anything in a unique way. And I feel like the movement feels really slow and stiff.

[wild girder]

Probably. There's no HN2 chat so I didn't know what would be best and I'm just used to chatting in this channel.

[wild girder]

I just noticed something very weird about Prototype 1. Give me a minute to gather the images.

For some reason. They changed the foliage in Prototype 1. In the first image, It looks like a more basic version of the old Steam image foliage but they decided to completely change the colours and overall look to something that kinda resembles RBO a little bit.

[smoky haven]

gosh prototype 1

i forgot how... spooky it looked

but yeah ur right maybe they just added more of it ?

like the foliage

[wild girder]

Next time Nikita is active in the chat, I'll ask him about it because I have no idea why they'd take the time to change it if it's literally just placeholders.

[smoky haven]

i mean he might talk right now he is active

[wild girder]

I agree. What I like about this build's look specifically is that it's the only one that really conveys the feeling of there being something lurking in the woods.

[smoky haven]

tbh could have just been progress while they were still working on it 😭 that image is oooold as hell

i mean compare prototype 2 old screenshots to the version we got

i think they just changed it around as they were working on it

[wild girder]

Possibly but I don't wanna ping him unless I know that he's active in this chat. I don't really wanna disturb him in case he's busy.

[smoky haven]

😭 oh no defo dont ping him haha but he is active so there is a chance he might chat in here for a little bit

[eager glade]

gave me halloween vibes

[smoky haven]

but do you see those tree variants and it isnt all just dead trees... oh prototype 1 lowkey ending pre alpha...

[wild girder]

And the fact that we knew of some sort of weird tall lanky creature being in the game made this feeling even worse.

[smoky haven]

prototype 1 has something the pre alpha doesnt

the creepy factor. the woods actually have this weird weird aura

that is missing in current versions

its the sound design too the entire prototype has this very silent hill esque soundtrack playing

pre alpha is somewhat scary at night but you only get to experience the night for a few minutes before that loop kills you #removetheloop

[wild girder]

I definitely feel like the new foliage needs to have more colour and be more overgrown looking because I feel like The Guest currently sticks out way too much in the woods. It would work way better if he blended in a lot more.

[smoky haven]

yess bigger foliage like if im not mistaken

in the hello neighbor 3 reveal video the foliage is super thick

and really colourful

green, purple and yellow it blended really nicely

[wild girder]

Yeah but I'm not sure if that's going to be the look of the. New foliage. I might be mistaken but I believe that it was put together using basic steam assets which I find odd seeing as they look more detailed than every single playable version of the game we have seen so far.

[lunar geode]

peterson had the same shirt for decades

i think that’s his favorite shirt

[smoky haven]

tbh yeah i wonder how the new foliage is gonna look and i hope we are going to see it soon

lowkey very very tired of the placeholder foliage lol

[wild girder]

I'm expecting that this is going to be closer to what the foliage is going to look like seeing as these are proper paint-overs. And I really like this. I love the gloomy grey colour scheme, it really makes the town feel more dead and rotting.

[smoky haven]

im like the total opposite i personally think the overly dead look is really overkill

like waaaayy too overkill. while yeah the town is meant to be a ''ghost town'' and whatever i think it being that dead is really unfitting as they are still people functioning in the town

and even then abandoned towns have more greenery then this

[wild girder]

I disagree. I really like it. This makes me feel like I'm somewhere that I shouldn't be and there's just a looming sense of danger that I Iove about this.

[smoky haven]

i wish i could feel that man but i just think ''ehhh''

i mean

chernobyl has no living conditions and that place looks pretty lively with greenery so i dont see why raven brooks needs to have this over-exagerated deadness

[wild girder]

The way I see it, that mixed with this would be the perfect environmental look.

[smoky haven]

and this place has ZERO living conditions 😭 raven brooks should not look that dead like at all if it has people in it, add some LIVING birches, some spruce trees. more ground foliage and i think you have the perfect hn game

rn its all just ... orange and yellow with very little greenery and i think it just isnt that catching to the human eye

[wild girder]

That overgrown, destroyed to heck look makes you feel both like you're in imminent danger and wonder to yourself "what on earth happened here?!"

[smoky haven]

see this is perfect

tree variants, and it has that dead look

but still greenery in it

its not all just yellow and orange

[wild girder]

For me. The ideal colour scheme would be dark green, brown, a little bit of red and finally grey.

[smoky haven]

i want more wacky colours but yeah

blue, purple, green, yellow, orange and red would be AWESOME

prototype 1 has blue and purple trees and they add a lot

[wild rapids]

OMGYES

YESS

ADD THAT

RN

OWNER NH

Bruh

[wild girder]

Don't remember seeing a single blue or purple tree.

[smoky haven]

they are around

not as common but you can see them

wish i had prototype 1 on me..

[wild girder]

If I had to be more specific, I would say predominantly brown grass and dead shrubs with thick patches of dark green damp grass with occasional red bushes and grayish purple sky.

[astral plinth]

I’d love purple trees

[smoky haven]

oh my impact...

yeah purple and blue trees would compliment the overly warm tone of the game

[civic totem]

Someone should make a feedback post I think

[astral plinth]

feedbavk for HN3?

[smoky haven]

well

i probably will

[low gate]

i dont think you understand how earth works

[smoky haven]

?

and you do

how interesting enlighten me

[astral plinth]

i personally think with the buildings still being quite brightly coloured the woods should have darker tones

[smoky haven]

tell me how exactly raven brooks follows the laws of realism

if you wanna talk about how the earth works

[low gate]

I dont know what to tell ya honestly. Places like raven brooks do exist especially in early year where the trees are absolutely bald and everything just feels quite ya know brown and darker which defintely reminds me of where i live although it mostly just feels like that all the time.

[smoky haven]

i also live in a place like raven brooks and it never looks this dead, NEVER, you have spruce trees everywhere who do not die during the winter

[low gate]

So you dont really live in a place like HN3s raven brooks do you then

[smoky haven]

also... a game like hello neighbor really does not need the laws of realism when this is THE hello neighbor. the game of wacky 😭 pretty sure a few alive trees would seriously not matter so the game doesnt look so uninteresting

[smoky haven]

🫩

point stands its overkill

[civic totem]

Yes, and there can actually be alive trees during the winter (evergreens)

Or

[smoky haven]

thats what im saying but appearantly im the crazy one for wanting to game to have more colours then brown orange and yellow

[low gate]

Think its quite the opposite of uninteresting. Might wonder why it's so dead here instead of it looking just perfectly fine.

[civic totem]

During winter-early spring

[smoky haven]

yeah nobody thinks like this 😭 the foliage is so uninteresting because there is nothing to it

[low gate]

Well i did

[smoky haven]

im sure you did

[low gate]

No you know i did cos i said it

[smoky haven]

im so so sure

[low gate]

What are you doing

[smoky haven]

no im just surprised

thats all

[low gate]

uhm okay

[smoky haven]

aura

[lunar geode]

hi

[smoky haven]

ive noticed this strange thing in pre alpha

why do the npcs get like stuck

like if they dont hear anything they just stand in one place

like the historian she just stands still and doesnt move even if you give her the picture

[lunar geode]

u mean in act 1?

[smoky haven]

what do you mean ?

[lunar geode]

i forgot what pre alpha is can u tell me

[smoky haven]

pre alpha is like the current version of HN 3

there are no acts

[lunar geode]

ohh

[fleet sandal]

For some reason, she only moves if you go upstairs.

[wild rapids]

Cool of

Pfp

[eager glade]

Yo

[low gate]

oY

[eager glade]

Yo

[low gate]

oY

[lunar geode]

i hate hn1 act 3

[ruby magnet]

What's your reasoning

[tiny plank]

how you beat the playtest?

[misty linden]

Hello

[misty linden]

How you doing

[eager glade]

yo good very goodf yo

[misty linden]

Great 😃👍

[misty linden]

I also can't beat lol

[ruby magnet]

Good evening everyone

[misty linden]

Oh okay

Timezones are really far

[ruby magnet]

What time is it for you

[misty linden]

https://youtu.be/UiN8ofd-6QA?si=NaTrhsxIQQWx6qhE where's the park I can't find it 🎡🎢

[granite junco]

You have to take the cable car up to it

[near hawk]

Graphics and audio are pretty good and i also like the guest area.
Everything else is too linear, the ai gets stuck too often and i don't really like the story.

[misty linden]

Yo is that ellie williams

[near hawk]

I thought this was hn chat for a second lol

[misty linden]

Maybe it is but is not 🙃

[near hawk]

No one wanted it to look perfectly fine mate.

[celest plank]

calling him raven man is vile

anyway why doesnt the glue work on the player

[karmic pasture]

i think its just a feature they havent implemented yet

the physics in this game are already weird

so having to implement glue is probably the least of their concerns rn

especially with how glitchy other stuff is, like that cone head dude

[celest plank]

they did have glue in the last 2 builds

[karmic pasture]

they did?

[celest plank]

oh yeah just checked it only works on the yellow glue

[karmic pasture]

tht makes sense

[celest plank]

maybe it just doesnt work in the hotel

[karmic pasture]

could be

[near meadow]

It would be interesting if there was a kill animation for the guest or something.

Like imagine when the guest brings you to the spot (Those pipes or something) one of the animations shows him lifting the player from and then smashing their head into it with the screen turning red, and then the game resets. (Obviously it happens from the players POV)

LIke not even a slow animation anything, just the moment he arrives he just kills you so fast in a way that feels "savage" and inhuman.

I wonder if we will get animations for that.

[wild girder]

I don't think it'll be as brutal and gory as that.

[long field]

whats the audion, i couldnt hear properly tho

[near meadow]

Its not even gory

[long field]

yeah

hello neighbor was never gory and was never meant to be gory

[astral plinth]

Except the show but that’s a whole other beast entirely

[long field]

show?

i didnt see any blood

[lunar geode]

it’s too difficult

[granite junco]

only in the directors cut uncensored one

[crude ravine]

I thought youll show fake one for a sec

[long field]

[potent parrot]

I came here from the devlog. That video is oddly comforting, plus. It's rainy too at my place. They should make a bedtime stories with this one

i didnt ask nikita bc he has not friended me yet

[misty linden]

Hey

[misty linden]

Maybe because you send alot of fanmade lol

[celest plank]

pre alpha is still available

[long field]

no its not

[misty linden]

I still can't find the neighbor and roller coaster

[long field]

[celest plank]

[misty linden]

Go ahead

[long field]

[misty linden]

In his bio☝️

Oh wait there isn't

[long field]

wdym there isnt

[crude ravine]

There is no yt link in ur bio

So, how we can find ur channel?

[lunar geode]

it costs money

[misty linden]

?

Hn3?

Prealpha

Free

[celest plank]

hn3 is free

[long field]

i was

not anymore bro

[misty linden]

Yeah

[misty linden]

?

[celest plank]

its not paid at this moment

the final game will be paid

rn its free

[misty linden]

I hope people don't hate on the game when is come to full release

[celest plank]

me too

[misty linden]

Like hn2

People don't like

Because what?

No more updates?

[crude ravine]

Bc game is badder than the alphas

Too many people dont like hn1 for this reason

[misty linden]

What so special in alpha?

[celest plank]

the alphas of hn2 are better

and imo the hn1 final game is better than its alphas

[crude ravine]

Artstyle - gameplay - story

[misty linden]

Hn2 alpha art style?

[crude ravine]

Yes

Hn2's alphas' artsyle is different than full game and beta

[misty linden]

Also about hn3 the art style gonna be the same in full release?

[wild girder]

Yep.

[crude ravine]

Nikita said it will

[misty linden]

Also i miss RBO house still

[celest plank]

i honestly hope itll change at least a little bit

[misty linden]

Is there gonna be a big house

[wild girder]

They're just changing the foliage to replace the placeholder one that's in the current build.

[celest plank]

yess bro yyesssss 🥹

[wild girder]

And updating the textures.

[crude ravine]

There shouldnt be giant houses like act 3

[misty linden]

What about the demo

Does it sounds better?

[celest plank]

its part of the storytelling

[crude ravine]

Wdym

[misty linden]

Demo house instead of act 3 house

[crude ravine]

What demo

[misty linden]

😭

[celest plank]

demo of hn1

what

did it ever have a demo

[wild girder]

I hope. Nothing massive like Act 3 but something more like the Gray Manor from HN2 "Alpha 2"

[crude ravine]

Thats just act 1

[misty linden]

Is a mod but i mean this house

[crude ravine]

Bruh

[misty linden]

But I can't find the original

So i send mod

Instead

[celest plank]

mayak

weather station

[crude ravine]

It will be 5 times bigger than current 😭

[celest plank]

im excited to see it

i think there should be like massive concerte walls around it just like in hello guest

cause it was really underwhelming being able to just enter it

[crude ravine]

Yeah but it ruins gameplay

[lunar trail]

i hope inside of it is full of story stuff

It'd be very cool to not only that Mayak is in the game, but it has a lot of stuff inside it aswell

[celest plank]

every bit of the building should serve a purpose

i noticed the whole weather station thing is like act 2

remember when nikita described like the "acts" in hn3

[lunar geode]

hn2 is lwk a good game

[lunar geode]

yeah but i don’t know where to install it i’m looking for it in steam

[ruby magnet]

Goodmorning everyone

[astral plinth]

Mornin’

[ruby magnet]

Yes

I have it and all the dlcs as well

[lunar geode]

can anyone send me the link to the pre alpha of Hello neighbor 3 steam

[lunar geode]

same i have it and it’s nice to see Aaron again

[ruby magnet]

It's in the hello neighbor 3 page

[lunar geode]

but unfortunately he couldn’t escape again

[lunar geode]

oh ok i will look for it again

where the hell is it

[ruby magnet]

It's the playtest

[lunar geode]

Oh ok

[astral plinth]

hey, this is kind of unrelated but do you think at some point we’ll get an actual endless free roam mode with no time limit? Just so we can explore Raven Brooks.

and the characters are docile

[ruby magnet]

Maybe?

[astral plinth]

i hope so, I like the atmosphere of Raven Brooks, I’d be happy just to spend time there

[ruby magnet]

Me too

It sort of reminds me of fallout 76's first few minutes

[ruby magnet]

I'm replaying it and forgot how to do everything

I'm at the first house and just accidentally discovered I could cut open one of the pillows

[astral plinth]

don’t forget you can move the bed with the bedknob

[ruby magnet]

Thank you 🥹

I was right next to the bed when you said that btw

[astral plinth]

nice ✌️

[ruby magnet]

I accidentally stepped on the toys on the floor 🫩

[lunar geode]

oh lol

that’s unfortunate

i’m at the bakery

[celest plank]

mate

you cant get it on a tablet

[ruby magnet]

Nice

[ruby magnet]

I didn't notice that 😭

[celest plank]

also its this

but like u need a pc

[astral plinth]

I just remembered my facourite HN2 bug, the giant fire extinguisher

[long field]

yo guys

ever seen the pre alpha man in hello neighbor 1 prototypes before?

i did

idk if u guys did LOL

here

here

nicky vs pre alpha man

[lunar geode]

Ik i will install it to my steam library and it will download at my laptop

[celest plank]

click this thing

[astral plinth]

only time I ever saw pre alpha man was Into the Mind

[misty linden]

Is this official?

[untold grotto]

its actually act 4

or finale whatever

[celest plank]

how far do you think we went in pre alpha

[untold grotto]

we just didnt got the prologue

act 1 is hotel
act 2 is finding notes of bob
act 3 is museum and gaap
and finale is mayak

[misty linden]

Hn3 plan?

Do we still count it act like hn1

[ruby magnet]

Probably not

[misty linden]

I agree before how come is small at first i surprised when i see how small is it

[celest plank]

boy

the game's so short

[misty linden]

So why they didn't add weather place in hn2?

[misty linden]

Because what?

You mean he made it short?

[untold grotto]

i think that was that specifically binds to the pre-alpha

[misty linden]

Also why they didn't make act like hn1

Hm

[ruby magnet]

Idk

[untold grotto]

since its the simplified version

[ruby magnet]

They're more like hello neighbor 2

[celest plank]

its like

there are technically no acts like in hn1

theyre more of like seamless transitions

[ruby magnet]

They're basically just save points

[celest plank]

the game wont announce when u get to the next "act"

[celest plank]

theyre not

every time the game restarts fully

[ruby magnet]

Yeah

I mean like

Uh

Idk how to put this

[celest plank]

the progress isnt saved

[ruby magnet]

Yeah

Just the point in the story

[misty linden]

Also btw if we drop some key and is gone like hn1 what we gonna do

Can it go backward

To the place

[ruby magnet]

Yws

Yes

Everything resets including the characters

So you can have different relationships

[misty linden]

I actually mean

If something lost

I can go back in time Right

[misty linden]

Ohh

You mean friendship

[ruby magnet]

Yeah

[ruby magnet]

If you start a new session everything resets

Except your progress in the story

[misty linden]

Ohh i will not click it

[ruby magnet]

I really wish they made the saves like hello neighbor 1

I don't wanna do allat again

[misty linden]

Ohh

Also is hn3 gonna have graphics settings

Btw i always wonder why there's no graphics settings in console?

[ruby magnet]

Me too

[misty linden]

So i still don't know where's this is from

[misty linden]

I hope it work well

[lunar geode]

same

[misty linden]

🥹

[misty linden]

Map too small

Feels like the main goal is just to quickly finished

And there's no secret like in hn1

take a look at the image i sent u ye

we r both 14yrs old, so we should know this

[lunar trail]

Cartoon Cat

[long field]

yup

oh#

hi mr apple

[lunar trail]

hi

[long field]

didnt see ya there

anyways

hows life

[lunar trail]

waiting for hn3 truly

[long field]

ik same

what hn3 game is there after hn3 pre alpha?

i forgot

[lunar trail]

Not confirmed, but it's probably Alpha 1

[long field]

hm

yea.. maybe i was right

hn3 alpha 1!

[lunar geode]

sure hn1 or hn2

[long field]

hn2

i have hn2 alpha 1.5

and hn2 alpha 1

[misty linden]

Hn1 ofcourse

But not now

[lunar geode]

ok

[misty linden]

Also read my dm

:0

[long field]

ok

[zenith kernel]

I think HN3 will have to be delayed or something

Hey just what i think

[untold grotto]

there is not even a announced date

[zenith kernel]

Yeah but

Some HNgames where delayed a bit much

I think hello neighbor 2 did

I don't know, I don't keep up with everything in the world

[misty linden]

Why?🙃

[misty linden]

But also it didn't go back to update

Because Nikita doesn't wanna make hn2

So hn3 he will update and don't leave the game right?!🙂

[wicked moth]

Also a question I wanted to ask: Will there be an "Act finale" of HN3, where you will have to escape the town about obtaining report #13

[lavish ravine]

Will alpha 1 feature more new buildings or houses? Or will it only focus on characters and story?

[astral plinth]

HN3 is nowhere near finished, I trust the team are all working hard but there’s still plenty of time.

[misty linden]

I hope the map is big and so good 🙃

Like colorful house stuff better movements

[tiny plank]

https://tenor.com/view/bosnov-67-bosnov-67-67-meme-gif-16727368109953357722

[crude ravine]

Hn2 beta did for 2 days

Trailer said 7 april but it released 9 april

Otherwise idk

[astral plinth]

The map will look great when it’s done.

I’m hoping the secret tunnels will be re added, they were some my favourite areas

[crude ravine]

I think there will be tunnels on the neighbor's house

Basement

[ionic bay]

I hope

Because the house is just empty right now

[astral plinth]

That would be super cool, the Neighbour’s house is only a set piece at the moment. I hope it has something important later.

[crude ravine]

No need make sense

Ok

[brave thunder]

like how boxes launch you into space?

[civic totem]

Wait for it

[eager glade]

No

@night vigil

No

[civic totem]

Nikita went idle after you said that 💀

He was idle for a bit

Now he's online again

[night vigil]

Shut your traps I'm sleeping

[limpid pewter]

We already got one tho

[crude ravine]

Lets be patient

[astral plinth]

i think people were expecting a new teaser for the new foliage. I personally don’t think we’ll that for a while, or until the alpha is released.

[civic totem]

What is you guys' favorite HN3 build so far?

1️⃣ - Prototype 1
2️⃣ - Prototype 2
3️⃣ - Prototype 3
4️⃣ - Pre-Alpha

For me it's Pre-Alpha

[crude ravine]

P2 and pre alpha

P2 has good ai and atmosphere, pre alpha has good gameplay and story

[astral plinth]

for me it’s 2, 4, 3, 1

from favourite to least favourite

[obtuse cypress]

for me pre-apha have more content

[meager walrus]

gonna be honest with you i didnt really like any build

[civic totem]

Why?

[meager walrus]

im really not that much of a fan of hn3

[civic totem]

Oh ok

[smoky haven]

tbh pre alpha but prototype 1 had something really special about it

[civic totem]

Prototype 1 had a more eerie ambience I guess

[smoky haven]

yeah way more eerie and i love the colouring of it way more

[civic totem]

And it didn't only have a bunch of dead trees

[smoky haven]

yess

also i knew i wasnt crazy, green, purple and blue trees

[civic totem]

They need to re-add this in later builds

[smoky haven]

@wild girder see i wasnt crazy !

[smoky haven]

exactly what i was thinking ^^ defo need more colours

even some of the big trees are purple

[wild girder]

Oh. I thought you meant the actual tree log. NGL, I barely ever notice those pine trees.

[smoky haven]

oh noo noo ^^ i meant the leafs haha

i find this so much prettier

its not too crazy but it ads a pop of colour then just the all dread trees

also big fan of this. the leaves also add a small pop of colour too

[long field]

but not those purple trees, it would ruin everything

and definetally not blue trees

only light green, dark green and normal green trees and trees with no leaves, how abt that??

[wraith crow]

Anyone know when the full game realeses

[long field]

not sure

but the next game is hn3 alpha 1

[wispy radish]

maybe 2027 bec its 10th from hn1 release or it will be after the movie release

[long field]

theres a hello neighbor movie?

brooooooo

u couldve told me earlierrrr

or else i wouldve not knownnnn

[wispy radish]

yeah there is

[long field]

[wispy radish]

we don know a lot of it

[long field]

ok

[wispy radish]

ok

[long field]

thanks

[wispy radish]

I think that's all we know, and this paper appeared after one of the episodes of the series.

[astral plinth]

the movie is only in the writing stage, but hopefully it’ll come to fruition

[long field]

r u serious right now?

this is bullcrap bro

is this about hello neighbor 1?

or 2 or 3?

[wispy radish]

1

[near hawk]

Well, we also know some story bits

[long field]

aight ok

[wispy radish]

[long field]

the reason i said its bullcrap

[astral plinth]

it’ll be mostly HN1, and a few elements of the books and show

[near hawk]

1 with some inspiration from the books and cartoon.

[long field]

bc when i saw the image i thought it was hello neighbor early prototypes LOL

my bad

[near hawk]

Well not that much. But Alex said Imbir has some role, it's from the perspective of Nicky.

Well anyway HN3

[astral plinth]

Imbir’s gonna be in it, near.
