[crude ravine]

Like p3 characters' models

[fathom cosmos]

Oh like the original forest dweller LOL

[crude ravine]

Yep

[fathom cosmos]

Bro I'm hyped....

[tall oyster]

cool

[fathom cosmos]

This is really good, I love the details!

[empty shell]

omg he looks amazing

[fathom cosmos]

Genuinely peak.

[crude ravine]

Just peak

[deft summit]

that was honestly quick, the model looks great as usual though!

[civic totem]

It looks great!

[cinder jolt]

I think it looks REALLY GOOD!! Can't wait to see him in the game!!

[stoic plume]

He looks so jobless

[wary kite]

I love like the near 1:1 Scrub-Daddy Sponge on his knee it’s just the cherry on top

[stoic plume]

I love it

[restive oxide]

bro piotr COOKED

[obtuse hornet]

So ugly, I love him

[ionic bay]

I have a question, isn't this a blockout?

[tall oyster]

my spider in the corner of my room is called Ernest btw

[proud ore]

im si obsessed 😭

[fathom cosmos]

Genuinely they nailed this, it fits the style of the game, it looks cool it's detailed. It's insanely good. Genuinely peak.

[stoic plume]

i LIEK HOW ITS BEEN 1 MINUTE

[near hawk]

I think Nikita said he's unsure whether he'll be in the next build

[stoic plume]

AND WE ALREADY have like

an absurd amount of lvoe for it

[lunar trail]

ah

[wild girder]

Ernest looks like he's seen some stuff.

[rigid jasper]

YYYEEEESSSS

[silk atlas]

Absolute Peak.

[fathom cosmos]

This actually LOL

[ionic bay]

Blockout?

[crude ravine]

Nope prolly

[gleaming acorn]

i feel like it's obviously not one of those

[limpid pewter]

no

[crude ravine]

The game is not protoype anymore i dont think they will make blockouts anymore

[limpid pewter]

yeah

[wild girder]

Ernest: "I've witnessed it. The Forest Dweller..."

[limpid pewter]

maybe only certain stuff

[ionic bay]

Logical

[gleaming acorn]

especially if you compare this guy to actual blockouts that used to exist

[limpid pewter]

but not full on npcs

[ionic bay]

Did you like it?

[limpid pewter]

as every character has gotten their finished model

[peak solar]

He honestly fits really well with the rest of the HN3 Cast

but is also distinct with how he's covered in safety equipment like mittens and sponges as kneepads

[wild girder]

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-king-julien-how-long-is-this-going-to-take-how-long-this-is-gonna-take-this-is-slow-gif-22961435

[wild girder]

So... Still here waiting for the new foliage...

[fathom cosmos]

The gloves bro the gloves, is bro a baker?

I thought this man worked in the hotel LOL

[peak solar]

He is ||The Cursed One|| after all.

[fathom cosmos]

Owned the hotel actually.

[near hawk]

He also has a casket though

Not very typical for a hotel owner

[peak solar]

I think he might actually just have horrible luck

and constantly has to be prepared at all times for literally anything to happen

[untold grotto]

he thinks he is the cursed one and put this random stuff to protect himself from the curse in question

[fathom cosmos]

Which is quite fitting considering what this game is meant to be, anything happening.

[peak solar]

and that might be why his concept art is listed as ||Cursed One||

[deft summit]

I'm hoping something crazy happens at the hotel then

[near hawk]

I imagine there's some kind of reason for him to think that even if it's superficial.

[fathom cosmos]

The concept art was peak, and so is this man it's amazing.

This game amazes me every time.

[smoky haven]

so awesome so peak i love his design

[wicked moth]

Nikita, how do you plan to make the neighbor more intimidating?

[ionic bay]

For now, Ernest is the only new character, or will another one be added soon?

[civic totem]

Nikita is offline

[ionic bay]

Noooo

[oblique parcel]

I do hope They try to make him intimmidating cause yes hes old but he honestly looks intimmidating

[eager glade]

Super cool

[oblique parcel]

He just isnt cause his ai is super broken and bare bones rn

[crude ravine]

Finally a character who dont attacks almira

[rigid jasper]

guys bob novak blew up his car

[crude ravine]

I just noticed, almost every character in the game is enemy to almira (bc almira is ga employee). But there is no connection to ga of him

[near hawk]

What do you mean by that

[crude ravine]

Uhh idk how can i explain that

[near hawk]

Tsk tsk tsk

[winter ibex]

ok guys when hn alpha 1

hn3

alpha 1

[crude ravine]

When its ready

[fair smelt]

The new character in HN3 looks like my drunk uncle

[near hawk]

Like what do you mean there's no connection to Ga of him

[rigid jasper]

isnt the hotel GA owned or am i misremembering

[winter ibex]

who is this

[crude ravine]

I meant that @near hawk

[fluid wigeon]

ernest looking good as hell

[rigid jasper]

i just kinda hope that the expression he has in the model isnt his default expression and its more like his concept art expression

[crude ravine]

He is normally happy i think

He is owner of the hotel, he should smile to the guests

[winter ibex]

very sad that the ai in hn3 cant see me the SECOND i crouch under a table

its like becoming invincible

[fierce viper]

guys do yall like his design?

I think its good but its a bit random

[night vigil]

Love it 🔥

[astral plinth]

looks amazing! Cannot wait to see him in action!

[crude ravine]

Not

Random

[spiral atlas]

I wonder if Nikita has played any more Tomodachi Life

[fierce viper]

I mean its good but it doesnt really make much sense why hes wearing oven mitts and sponges for knee pads

it feels kind of out of place

[astral plinth]

we’ll probably get context when he’s in game

also I thought they were gardening gloves

[crude ravine]

He protects himself

[fierce viper]

well yeah ig

[tawny yoke]

scrub daddy is still there 🔥

[fierce viper]

Could be

[astral plinth]

I really like his hair detail

[fierce viper]

I thought they were oven mitts

[astral plinth]

they’re oversized so they look like oven mitts but I’m pretty sure they’re gardening gloves.

[fierce viper]

He looks like a homeless drug addict who would live in the golden apple park

[astral plinth]

I wonder how Theo would have looked if he still had his gloves on

[crude ravine]

Yeah im invisible ig

[fierce viper]

Yeah, that would be cool to see

[astral plinth]

apologies

[crude ravine]

He protects himself bc he thinks cursed himself

[fierce viper]

Maybe

[crude ravine]

Atleast its our theory

[astral plinth]

I thought he had all the sponges and that for extreme multitasking

[crude ravine]

(His concept art's file name is cursed one also)

so not random, everything has a meaning

In hn3

[fierce viper]

also do you guys think that most of the houses in the prototypes feel weirdly cramped

[crude ravine]

In p1 and p2, maybe

[fierce viper]

and in the hn1 alphas the houses actually felt lived in but most places there just feel weird. Cool but weird

[astral plinth]

a little

[crude ravine]

Bc after p3, houses became realistic

[fierce viper]

Kinda but some of them still felt hard to explore, like the cinema

[astral plinth]

there’s a lot of empty houses still waiting to be filled

[crude ravine]

Yeah its like a labyrinth

[astral plinth]

i think the cinema was fine, it was Signed who gave me grief

[fierce viper]

Yes

[pine marlin]

Nikita pls change the main character

[crude ravine]

Also its fine if it would be empty. Its ruined bc

[pine marlin]

Its just not good

[crude ravine]

Like you /j

[astral plinth]

i think in the final version of the game ir

[fierce viper]

also, do I feel like you cant really hide in the game. Like the enemies feel like they constantly know where you are

[astral plinth]

it won’t be occupied all the time

[astral plinth]

i hope the boxes will be fixed

you used to be able to hide in them from people

but now they only work for cameras

[crude ravine]

If youre hiding in the cabinets or closets, theyre forgeting you

[crude ravine]

Theyre working for npcs too. Just they shouldnt see you while hiding in the box

[fierce viper]

Yeah well doesnt feel like that. Even though the Ai's are pretty complicated they feel stupid

wait why dont they just bring back the original neighbor AI from the pre alpha and update that

[crude ravine]

Bc ai made for whole town. Not for chasing

[astral plinth]

it should work but I got caught by Signed when I was in the box

It worked for Janusz though

[crude ravine]

Yeah i was typing it rn

[celest plank]

gosh i love ernest

nikita will he be in the next build

[fierce viper]

?

[celest plank]

thats not how it works

[fierce viper]

Wdym, Im a gamedev. it kinda is

If they still have access to the original code

[celest plank]

the ai does not fit hello neighbor 3

[fierce viper]

they can just implement it to work in hn3 right?

[celest plank]

by the time they adapt it for this game it'll be different

and the ai for this game is already in the works so why scrap that

[fierce viper]

Yeah Ig, the pre alpha and alpha 1 AI's are just so freaking good and scary. The enemies dont really feel alive except for when you leave them alone. I mean when you try to get into a place or smth they just walk straight up to you and trow you back out

I feel like they focused too much on the idle mode of them and not at all for the hunt mode

I hope they fix that in the final version'

[celest plank]

i think they plan on adding chase themes for characters in the future

the ai of hn3 is really barebones rn

[astral plinth]

they are going to

[fierce viper]

Well thats a good direction

[woven lodge]

Unreal Engine wouldn't like that.

[fierce viper]

Even if the game isnt really supposed to be horror anymore I still think they should at least try to make it a bit scary

[celest plank]

i swear i remember some kind of pre-chase animation in hn3

unless it was some fangame

[fierce viper]

ok, Im a unity dev so idk about that

[civic totem]

That doesn't exist

[woven lodge]

Unreal Engine uses a lot of this stuff for code.

[fierce viper]

Visual scripting?

Yeah, they can still reuse the blueprints

and edit them if they still have acsess to the files

[astral plinth]

when it comes to the characters of HN3 I hope they get their own chase themes, and obviously more unique animations, including more expression.

[fathom cosmos]

You'd need to convert old code to new code which is incredibly buggy and inconsistent, not only this but you'd have to wrangle through errors and code that likely isn't compatible. It's possible, is it worth it? Likely no.

[fierce viper]

Yeah, and I hope the chase themes are actually cool like in hn1 instead of just being like jungle themed beats or smth

[woven lodge]

Well Hello Neighbor's pre-alpha is on like Unreal Engine 4.08 while HN3 is on Unreal Engine 5 so it's a bit of a version difference.

[astral plinth]

HN2 has good chase themes, although I also like the SN one for both Neighbours and Guest

[woven lodge]

I don't think the code would work at all anymore, and there's also dependencies the AI probably used that probably doesn't exist in HN3 and even if they did Pre-alpha's AI wasn't even really that good.

[fierce viper]

ok

But how do you know they used visual scripting for the games tho?

They might've also just coded it fully in c++

[fathom cosmos]

Also keep in mind there will be references to other objects from the pre-alpha that won't be in HN3 which means the AI will bug out and you'd have to change that.

[fathom cosmos]

Same incompatibility issues still apply.

[woven lodge]

I'm not an unreal engine expert but based off what I know they have to make custom box thingies to make C++ code.

[fierce viper]

Really, I didnt know they changed one of the most used code languages in gamedevelopment?

[low gate]

this guy seems to take safety very seriously so much so he tucks his socks over his jeans

like hes worried about stinging nettles

[fathom cosmos]

Object references, old engine code. There's more factors at play then you'd assume.

[fierce viper]

Also I already said they could just update the scripts, wouldnt most of the base logic and code still work fine?

[oblique parcel]

pre alpha ai honestly wasnt that good all it did was like watch tv lol

and it was just pretty basic

[crude ravine]

Better than p3 atleast

[fierce viper]

alpha 1?

that one was better

[crude ravine]

But best ai is in the prototype 2 i think

[oblique parcel]

its not that good either tbh it was just like very robotic and it always knew where you was

[fierce viper]

And it still does 😭

[fathom cosmos]

Say for instance the AI had an object reference to the TV, which it likely does. If you do not make any changes to the code before booting the game, the neighbor won't work correctly because the game cannot find that TV that you didn't place in the files. Imagine that, but with more than just one object reference.

[fierce viper]

Yeah, thats why I said they can just reuse basic logic. Not just staright copy and paste the code

[fathom cosmos]

Even so, you have to make some changes because of engine differences.

Also why even use the pre-alpha AI?

[fierce viper]

Didnt I say pre alpha or alpha 1?

Or they could use alpha 2

[civic totem]

Why would the copy the HN1 Pre-Alpha to HN3? What would be the point?

[atomic owl]

yea the stealth horror part of the ai is booty low-key

but they can’t use the ai from the early builds

[fathom cosmos]

Also the Neighbor is likely programmed to stay within his house, unless you manually PLACE HUNT WAYPOINTS, in Mayak you're gonna have a problem again.

[atomic owl]

nikita said why. They don’t understand it and the dude who did was fired

[crude ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/gaming-squidward-funny-future-gif-10806477798548044697

[atomic owl]

that’s why the main games ai sucks

[fierce viper]

idk but what I mean is that they could've taken the existing logic from the old alphas or at least take INSPIRATION FROM IT and apply that logic to the new AIs

[fathom cosmos]

Yeah they could take inspiration if they wanted to...

[fierce viper]

Thats good to know ig

[fierce viper]

I liked it

it was scary

[atomic owl]

i did too but it didn’t learn from you. I kinda wish it did

[fierce viper]

Thats not I meant, I was talking about the AI

[civic totem]

I also meant the i

THE AI

[fathom cosmos]

One last thing to add, that code is old and probably doesn't work well in other environments.

[fierce viper]

'Yah ig, they tried to fix that later but ended up with like 30 cameras piling up in the same excact corner

[civic totem]

I forgot to type the word "AI"

[fierce viper]

The existing AI in p3 is kinda buns

[civic totem]

But yeah what would be the point of copying that AI to HN3

[civic totem]

So is the HN1 Pre-Alpha AI

[fierce viper]

Its still way better then in p3

[fathom cosmos]

To be fair, it wasn't it was smart and kind of adapted and stuff.

[fierce viper]

in p3 it just doesnt do anything. it just roams around doing tasks and when you enter its designated area it locks onto you and throws you out

[civic totem]

They obviously can't copy the Pre-Alpha AI to HN3 por reasons that Nikita has already explained, so this discussion is pointless

[crude ravine]

They should copy hn2 ai

[civic totem]

No bro

[fierce viper]

And thats why I said take some of the base logic and either copy that or take inspiration from it

[fathom cosmos]

Ohhh hell naw man LOL

[crude ravine]

Best ai in the serie

[civic totem]

Bro, it doesn't work like that

[astral plinth]

the ai is still being worked on, it had some bugs, like the Neighbour not slipping on oil or Dorothea just standing in the museum.

[fathom cosmos]

They can't take base logic, they can however take inspiration...

[fierce viper]

And also guys, when I say the AI from the pre alpha and alpha 1 I mean the one they showcased in that one video on tinybuilds channel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu7Z52RaBGk

[fathom cosmos]

It's the same AI, just in advanced idle mode.

[civic totem]

The Pre-Alpha AI was made specifically made to roam inside a house, while the HN3 AI is meant to walk around all of Raven Brooks and do more stuff

[astral plinth]

it’s very complicated

[fierce viper]

Tru

[astral plinth]

but yeah in HN3 it’s gotta do a lot more

[fierce viper]

OK sorry guys I really gotta go

BYE

[astral plinth]

see ya 👋

[crude ravine]

Cya

[civic totem]

Bye

[fathom cosmos]

Have a nice day!

[fierce viper]

Thank u bye!

[near hawk]

Bye

[smoky haven]

gosh he really really reminds me of little nightmares for some reason

[crude ravine]

He is cute

[smoky haven]

he is but his arms are so freakishly long

he can compete with jackie from fnaf

[crude ravine]

Its good

It makes more scary

We need horror stuff

[eager dune]

good but doesnt look like its from hello neighbor

[crude ravine]

What is hello neighbor

We are talking about hello neighbor 3

Not hello neighbor

[smoky haven]

uhh

did u see the rest of the characters

[eager dune]

bro its the hello neighbor universe in general

[smoky haven]

he fits exactly like the rest of them in HN 3

[crude ravine]

Hello neighbor 3 universe*

[eager dune]

ik it does but the whole new design i think i just need to get used to it idk

[smoky haven]

wait so hes purple does that mean hes sad or whatever that theory was

[eager dune]

no hello neighbor im talking about the whole series

[untold grotto]

purple was loving their job or something

green was sad

[smoky haven]

blue is ?

[crude ravine]

Every hello neighbor game is different than other alr

[smoky haven]

purple = loves their job
green = depressed/sad
blue ?

[untold grotto]

well i personally took purple as a tone of blue

[eager dune]

but they keep most of the design from the previous games

[smoky haven]

theres a difference there is blue and purple skin

so what does blue do 😭

[crude ravine]

Nope

[eager dune]

do u just know hello neighbor from the 3rd game bro😭

[low gate]

hes pretty long so its gotta match

[smoky haven]

tbh thats true

[crude ravine]

Hn1 and hn2 is completely different

[eager dune]

ik but kept the artstyle and sum designs

[crude ravine]

And now, hn3 will different than them

[crude ravine]

How artstyle is same

[smoky haven]

i think you just need to let go of the past titles in a way

[eager dune]

bro i know i was just stating that i think new art style is weird but cool

[untold grotto]

well loving their job was just a quick idea i came up with but it fits with both purple and blue people

also im not sure "loving their job" is a feeling

[astral plinth]

oh yeah, Ernest is HN version of Roger from LN

[low gate]

i dont know what green could mean it doesnt seem like a depressed colour

[near hawk]

I mean yeah but everyone that's green is like

Pretty depressed

Theodore, Janusz, Signed

[astral plinth]

Theo, Signed and Janusz for sure

[low gate]

Positiviely apparently green means

Renewal/Hope/Harmony/Nurturing

And negatively green means

Envy/Jealousy/Illness/Greed

2 green characters are janusz and neighbour and i could see some of these attatched to them in a way

mostly neighbour

[near hawk]

Also the forest dweller who If it's Aaron that checks out and regardless there's the whole place of reflection thing

[near hawk]

Which ones

[astral plinth]

i personally thought the Guest was grey

[near hawk]

There's a bit of green spread around his skin

Though it's very slight

[low gate]

Illness and Envy for the neighbour hes a very sickly green

Renewal and Hope for Janusz

Greed for both cos theyre chunky boys (kidding sorta)

[near hawk]

I don't see renewal in Janusz.
Nor hope.

For Theodore i can kind of see envy though.

[low gate]

Hes defintely ill all he does is cough and wobble on his old crushed in a car crash leg

[near hawk]

I mean sure

[low gate]

green is fitting enough for them though

[smoky haven]

smelly colour

[low gate]

yeah

[near hawk]

But for Signed?

And i mean regardlessly hope or renewal don't sound very Janusz

[low gate]

signed is still hard to pinpoint at this time honestly

the vandals so far havent really been given much in game like other characters

greed possibly as its the vandals and maybe illness hes apparently sluggish and you cant be doing too good when youre built like a crane

[smoky haven]

tbh the vandals exist to ragebait me tbh

especially covered we need to slime her out

[untold grotto]

actually signed is like the only character that has a confirmed personality

[astral plinth]

the vandals are referred to as outcasts, but they will likely get fleshed out in the full game

[low gate]

i know that but i still dont know what hes hiding or what he masks it with

[untold grotto]

signed covers all of his face and always hunched over because as if he is inside himself, he is in his own space, under the weight of his thoughts and emotions

[low gate]

i imagine hes acting happy i mean a little obvious due to the massive smiley mask on his face

[astral plinth]

Signed also had a unique sitting animation in P2 where he held his head in his hands

[smoky haven]

i get that hes probably super sad and depressed but he makes me mad so he gets a crowbar in the face

[low gate]

possibly a lot of regret on the path to renewal? fits better than janusz

[untold grotto]

green being sadness or something similar to it is fair to me

[eager glade]

And neighbor is green but isn't very visible

[smoky haven]

hes like almost grey

[low gate]

i think if he was too green itd just look incredibly wrong

[untold grotto]

and like the tighter the tone, the more intensely they feel that emotion

[eager glade]

Yeah probably maybe a mix not sure

[untold grotto]

or feeling

[eager glade]

True

[low gate]

blues pretty obvious though i feel like as you do have Jacob whos the saddest littlest man on the planet

[untold grotto]

historian is also blue

[near hawk]

You're saying blue is for sadness? Yet all these blue people have not near as reason for sadness as the green ones.

[low gate]

Who also seems to be quite miserable as she stays in the museum and needs convincing to not rot in there

[near hawk]

What about Coned

[low gate]

theyre certainly not exactly happy either

[near hawk]

Or like just most of if not all random people are blue (though there's no neutral colour supposedly)

[low gate]

none of these really fit but ya know navy blue apparently being linked to authority but i dont remember him being very navy blue

hes defintely too light for that

[astral plinth]

his conept art gave him deeper blue skin, the model is a lighter blue

[low gate]

its not just navy blue actually its mostly just darker blues but if its different on the model its hard to say

[near hawk]

Was that over on basement channel i remembered it being on here

[untold grotto]

rbo discussion

[woven lodge]

That's fake! D:

[jolly pond]

why is every character purple

[smoky haven]

they ate purple food dye

[limpid pewter]

Art style

[primal wedge]

ernest is the weirdest character in the hn franchise

[trim reef]

and my fav

[red spear]

yo

the hn3 isn't connected to the peterson's lore right

[untold grotto]

it is

[red spear]

fr?

how

hes just older or what

[untold grotto]

he is 85 and now hating all of the townspeople

[red spear]

balright

[untold grotto]

and he went so far as to kill everyone including himself in prototype 3 ending

and presumably his son is now dwelling in the forest and kidnapping people

[red spear]

this is crazy, i like it

nah bro u must have lying

[untold grotto]

i am not

[cerulean pike]

Is this roulxs karrd

[grim lark]

Where did he come from

[cerulean pike]

I forwarded the guy from the announcement channel

It disappeared for sm reasom

I mean workinprogress

[gleaming acorn]

presumably because of the @\everyone

[misty linden]

I got new fear unlock

I feel scare like very much

Well I'm very happy that i can go amusement now because his tutorial was so good @long field

[misty linden]

And whenever i go to the amusement park is always nighttime and scary

I'm very scare

Also + Forest dweller

[long field]

uh thats the guest

also called raven man

not forest dweller anymore

forest dweller was called in hn3 prototype 2 and prototype 1

then before hn3 prototype 3 and hn3 pre alpah the forest dweller got scrapped

[misty linden]

I'm so scare

But in your tutorial you speed run so fast to the amusement park

I am trying to run as possible to escape the forest dweller

And still get catch is was so scary that i run and find the exit because the amusement park was so scary

[restive oxide]

he's still called forest dweller mate

[misty linden]

Because that doesn't look like a full body of him

[restive oxide]

what

[misty linden]

What

[restive oxide]

what does this mean

[misty linden]

Because that look like a cheap guest costume

Just some clothes

And the guest beak

[restive oxide]

that's
how the hn2 guest is too

js some clothes and a beak

[misty linden]

I know

But this one is different 🫠

He still look like a human

So are the game gonna add Forest dweller and the guest

So there's two would be good

[limpid pewter]

There is already two guests

[misty linden]

Forest dewer just for us to don't go in the forest

[limpid pewter]

In hn3

[misty linden]

?

[limpid pewter]

The mural guest and forest dweller

[misty linden]

?

[limpid pewter]

The statue guest is the mural guest

Or just anything to do with the festival

[potent flax]

guys

hows the new model of the new character they made

of Ernest

[misty linden]

You could check it in #work-in-progress

[potent flax]

i did

he's pretty fine

[misty linden]

Yeah

[potent flax]

i like his 2 mittens he have on his hands

we might see him in game in aplha 1

alpha 1

[misty linden]

Can we guess how his behavior gonna be like

[potent flax]

yeah like they said he is a hotel manager

[misty linden]

Is alpha1 gonna be the same map?

[misty linden]

But the map of prealpha have nothing to do left

[potent flax]

And also, hello neighbor 3 runs poorly on my school laptop

i had for 5 years

i need a upgrade

[misty linden]

Ohh

I use low quality

To play

[potent flax]

yeah like on all low settings around 30 to 45 fps

and its unplayable for me

[misty linden]

So it could be good for speed run and stuff

[potent flax]

but the shadows in the game dose look fancy

[misty linden]

Ohh

[potent flax]

And also they should decrease the length of the day and night cycle

a little bit for us players to explore more

[misty linden]

Yes you could check this hold on

[potent flax]

for around 55 mins in game

or 52 mins

[potent flax]

i would love to live in ravenbrooks

in hello neighbor 3

if i dont get clapped by the Guest

And anyways

whats behind the mask on the guest in hello neighbor 3,

but its just a theory a game theory

[misty linden]

Is abandoned plus the forest dweller is so annoying

[potent flax]

yeah

i am playing a hello neighbor custom map at the momment

[misty linden]

Normal human with same skin as Jacob

Is a fake guest tho

[misty linden]

What's that

[potent flax]

act2 remaster

[misty linden]

Ohh

Mod?

[crude ravine]

Friendly

[rare spear]

what

[rare spear]

I don't think this is a prototype 3...

[polar river]

I don't remember Janusz having an elevator

Also, looks like the rest of the town don't exist...

Interesting

Hello Janusz prototype 3

[rare spear]

The door is boarded up

[untold grotto]

pretty sure this is like an internal version of prototype 3

[polar river]

He's clearly hiding something, just think about it! The neighbor is as green as Janusz... and they also have in common that they're both single after their wives died.

[untold grotto]

considering janusz has a blockout model and player is jacob

[polar river]

Can't wait for pre alpha trailer

[untold grotto]

or like some internal build after prototype 3 and before pre alpha

[rare spear]

I wonder why there are trees beyond the bakery and not a city

[untold grotto]

probably because that was an super early version of prototype 3

and town was not fully implemented yet

[worn stone]

Will ever hn3 come?

[fathom cosmos]

Pre-alpha is out for you to play...

[thorn mesa]

Does anyone like the new hello neigbhor design

[fathom cosmos]

Yeah it's pretty peak!

[worn stone]

I'm not talking about alpha I want actual game dude

[fathom cosmos]

I presume 2027/2028 it will release, we are only in the pre-alpha.

Could be earlier though.

[summer sand]

It will come when it come. It is in the most early development it takes a lot of time just have patience. There no information about release date

[celest plank]

its too early for a release

[worn stone]

We've already waiting since 2023 and have to wait more this is ridiculous

[untold grotto]

the game wasnt even announced in 2023

[fathom cosmos]

My guy, you have to wait, good things come with time, and they should take their time to make the game great!

[worn stone]

It wasn't announced but we've knew it would come

[worn stone]

Hope it would great like previous ones was

[untold grotto]

development started in 2024 autumn

[worn stone]

Oh

I'm watching since 2017 I know game is incredible

Take your time buddy!

[untold grotto]

techinally it started on 2023 but that was a whole different game

[fathom cosmos]

Yeah RBO.

[untold grotto]

not to mention it developed by a single person that does not know programming almost a year

[fathom cosmos]

Wait didn't Nikita oversee RBO, wait I'm so confused LOL

[summer sand]

Do you see how big game is? Not every game comes 1 year later. It sure takes a lot of time with the fact that the team of devs is not very big. The only thing we can do is support them and leave feedback

[untold grotto]

he was the guy

[fathom cosmos]

Didn't he make prototype games since it's his hobby, programming...

[untold grotto]

he used blueprints with watching bunch of UE tutorials

[neon ether]

Hello everyone

[summer sand]

Hi

[fathom cosmos]

For RBO or his prototype games?

[untold grotto]

also it was much more difficult to do this with rbo prototype

[untold grotto]

both

[fathom cosmos]

Yeah, as it's a multiplayer game...

I see.

Didn't he know coding before or did he take a hiatus?

Cause HN1, early stages of HN2 etc.

[untold grotto]

he is not a programmer

he was artist

and then game designer

[fathom cosmos]

Ahhh okay, but he knows now then

[untold grotto]

no

[fathom cosmos]

?? I'm confused LOL

[untold grotto]

nikita is not programming ai

he is not a programmer as i said

[fathom cosmos]

But he knows Unreal...

[untold grotto]

knowing UE doesnt make you a programmer though

he stated that he does not know c++

[fathom cosmos]

Depends..

What I'm trying to ask is he programs stuff on HN3, but not all of it yes?

[untold grotto]

even though he gave instructions to the programmers i dont think he does it himself

like he says what he is wanting and programmers doing that if its possible

[fathom cosmos]

I mean who knows, only he (or other devs) can tell us.

[untold grotto]

since programming is not his job

[worn stone]

Major reason is of being delayed is the team isn't that much big as you are saying

[fathom cosmos]

Amazing work from him and his dev team though, HN3 is peak.

Is it just four people or are the rest not on discord.

[untold grotto]

its like 18

nikita said that before

[fathom cosmos]

18 I see.

[untold grotto]

rbo was developed with more people but that was 2 teams

half of EGS and Bad Pixels

[fathom cosmos]

What happened to the other seperate team then for rbo?

Bad pixels?

Are you disliking dynamic pixels LOL

[untold grotto]

the team behind Deadside

[fathom cosmos]

oh it's a different team to DP?

[untold grotto]

also an tB team

[untold grotto]

yeah

[fathom cosmos]

My bad LOL

[untold grotto]

bad pixels is experienced online developers so they helped them

[fathom cosmos]

Nice.

[worn stone]

And why there's no update in secret neighbor lowkey it's dead now

[untold grotto]

the team behind it is now working on a different game

called SAND

[worn stone]

Which game?

I think they should do work on which people are demanding for

They'll release hn3 when his crazy will be finished

[fathom cosmos]

?

[winter ingot]

Guys what will the new foliage look like?

[fathom cosmos]

We don't know.. yet

I hope we will see Alpha 1 teasers soon because I'm hyped LOL

Although I doubt we will get them like now.

[untold grotto]

i was just looking the textures and what the hell is writing on the vandals community board

[fathom cosmos]

F.... hea... idk the rest LOL

[untold grotto]

i think its B

[fathom cosmos]

B?

[untold grotto]

BRP?

the first three

[fathom cosmos]

it looks like BBA?

Where does this come from?

Or even where do you see this in game, if at all?

[untold grotto]

in the amusement park

[fathom cosmos]

The vandals go there?

[untold grotto]

they did in prototype 3

[fathom cosmos]

Oh I see.

[untold grotto]

eitherway its still same in prototype 3 texture

[fathom cosmos]

I wonder why it looks scratched out.

To do: Guest with eye and heart, signed face?

hmm

[untold grotto]

pretty sure to do was for like

there is statue parts under it

in prototype 3

[fathom cosmos]

To clarify the vandals hinder the festival right?

[untold grotto]

no like if you place a part on the statue that part is crossed out in the TO DO section

[fathom cosmos]

Oh interesting.

Perhaps they wish to dismantle the statue, for what reason?

[untold grotto]

like the one in main square

[fathom cosmos]

and place parts there?

[untold grotto]

they are doing this because they are doing their own statue in gaap

to doing the ritual

sacrificing isaac

[fathom cosmos]

Oh shoot.

[untold grotto]

to the forest dweller which they think its the guest

[fathom cosmos]

To the Guest, yeah.

So they believe the Guest is the urban legend, "Guest"

[untold grotto]

eye and TO DO is drawn by coned
smiling face is drawn by signed
heart and guest figure is drawn by covered

[fathom cosmos]

How do you know this LOL

[untold grotto]

i mean aint its obvious

the eye is exactly same of the eye on coneds cone

not even mentioning the smiling face and signed

[fathom cosmos]

True.

[untold grotto]

and the rest is by covered

also it would makes sense, the only female member is using red

and males using black

[fathom cosmos]

Thing is why are they doing this ritual.

Assuming the Guest we see is not siding with anyone.

Do they realise they will be killed?

[smoky haven]

so like

i have a question for nikita

why does jacob and peterson get detailed eyes

but the rest of them get just black circles

[pseudo spoke]

Jacob doesn't have detailed eyes, though. That was probably just an Elena thing.

[smoky haven]

he does

he has a blue iris

or

.. think

i think

wait

am i stupid

[pseudo spoke]

...but not on his final model.

[smoky haven]

is this model in game currently ?

[pseudo spoke]

No

[smoky haven]

OHH well that explains it

[pseudo spoke]

The black irises are probably just part of the art style.
And the Neighbor probably still has green ones because he already did before and it'd be weird if he didn't

[smoky haven]

oh yeah i just wasnt aware jacob has a unreleased updated model

now it all makes sense

because rn in game he does have them so i was just confused

but now that i know that it makes a lot mroe sense

this reminds me how strange prototype 1 jacob looked LOL

[grim lark]

Proto 1 jacob scares me to this day

[lavish ravine]

That it’s the eyes or every person who sleeps in 1:00 or 3:00 Am

[smoky haven]

yk

i cant wait

to see that motel area finished

or like

that apartment space ??? idk what it is

this is a motel right ?

dude

can covered bug off i swear to god

she has some sort of sixth sense and she just senses you NEAR that cable car building and automatically jumps you

[pseudo spoke]

The Motel is interesting, because the Hotel exists, and THAT barely gets any visitors.
I imagine before the Hotel existed the Motel got a lot of business. But something must've happened to it for the Hotel to exist in the first place.

[untold grotto]

is there an motel

because that makes 3 hotel in raven brooks

hotel in main square
guest hotel in amusement park
and motel if its a thing

[smoky haven]

i mean

i assume thats a motel ?

its also the only place in the game with a parking lot

[pseudo spoke]

Well the park's hotel is certainly not in business. And I don't think the Motel is supposed to be either.
I think that's kind of the whole thing. They used to get tons of visitors and tourists, but now not even the tiny hotel can manage more than one at a time.

[rigid jasper]

the humble guest sacrifice:

[smoky haven]

they REALLY need to work on this ai 😭

also yeah pretty sure this is a motel

yeah defo a motel look at this picture of a motel

[rigid jasper]

yeah

[smoky haven]

So we have Main square hotel and then town side motel

[misty linden]

what does this sign explain i'm confuse

[polar river]

Does anyone know where to find soundtrack from RBO gameplay video from youtube?

[winter ingot]

I hope it will fix the optimization problem..

[smoky haven]

that you are leaving raven brooks

[misty linden]

may i ask why do raven brooks kinda change lot lol

like where is the old bakery shop and the mayor house and more

only the neighbor house left

kinda confuse

[smoky haven]

i think thats for nikita to answer haha

[lavish ravine]

I Wish that building Well be use full in the next version

[misty linden]

i will wait for the morning to go to the amusment park because i'm scare haha

[tall sorrel]

Hello Neighbor 3 is years after
Also if you look around the forest level of Hello Neighbor 2 you can see pictures of a destroyed Raven Brooks

[smoky haven]

tbh nikita said all the buildings will have a purpose so maybe somebody will live there

[misty linden]

ohhh i wish nikita really explain

[tall sorrel]

so it's likely that most of those buildings were destroyed by a storm

[meager walrus]

my daily ew
the ernest model is my least favourite model from hn3

[misty linden]

whhich forest level? do you mean the forest that have church in hn2

[smoky haven]

you are just a bundle of sunshine arent you

[tall sorrel]

and Theodore's House is just the only one the town didn't dare touch

[tall sorrel]

yes

[meager walrus]

yes

[misty linden]

what's daily ew mean

[meager walrus]

i no like

[smoky haven]

you dont like anything about HN 3 literally what is the point of even talking here

im so confused

😭

[misty linden]

is looks to diffrent why won't they use the same map but just remake it with a new style

[meager walrus]

cause i get pinged

[misty linden]

who?

[smoky haven]

🫩 man i wish i had these kinds of problems in my life

[rigid jasper]

both for gameplay and story reasons

[misty linden]

why you want problem to come to your life?

[tall sorrel]

Gameplay reasons

both maps are made to serve Gameplay First

[smoky haven]

im really really excited for the holding animations already

[misty linden]

why's a hill near him

isn't it is a river

and mr otto house on the back

[near hawk]

I would not like playing the same map repeatedly

[polar river]

he is interesting... but kinda weird

[meager walrus]

yeah

his design is really weird

[tall sorrel]

River dried up (Nikita said so)
also again the map was changed for gameplay reasons

[smoky haven]

tbh also raven brooks probably changed a lot since we know that a storm whiped out a lot of the town

[misty linden]

at least just remake the same map but make it kinda look a bit diffrent with hn3 artstlye and destroy some house and make the map more bigger and replace new house instead the house we use to visit

[misty linden]

also why people said neighbor did the flood what is mean

[near hawk]

There's a book where he does that

[tall sorrel]

canonically both Hello Neighbor 2 and Hello Neighbor 3 probably occur in an updated version of the Hello Neighbor 1 Map layout that has more buildings
but for the sake of gameplay they made the map different each time

[tall sorrel]

in another continuity he does so (or well it's more complicated then that but another continuity is the easiest way to explain it)

[misty linden]

he do on purpose?

[near hawk]

Which is also a book Nikita worked on.
So i do think bits of that characterisation of Teddy might be for HN3

[misty linden]

so the storm change the town?

bro

[tall sorrel]

There's the Games (though some people think Hello Neighbor 3 is it's own continuity with only Hello Neighbor 1, Hide and Seek, and itself. Up to you if you wanna believe all games are in one timeline or not)
the Books
and the animated series (Welcome to Raven Brooks)
and soon to also be the movie

[tall sorrel]

quite possibly multiple storms

[near hawk]

Continuity is 100% correct too tbf

[wicked moth]

In p2, that sign signaled the out of bounds areas (If you went past them you restarted the game and got a minor ending) they don't really have a purpose in p3 or the p-a

[misty linden]

What's minor ending mean you mean little update?

[tall sorrel]

(yeah, it's just continuity stuff with an in-universe explanation.)

[pseudo spoke]

Y'know what I miss? I miss the storm vortex. I hope they find a way to add that back at some point.

[misty linden]

I hate forest dweller

I die many time

I love coned

I even forgot he exist

[smoky haven]

more like

[misty linden]

Because i rarely see him in the game

[smoky haven]

took it apart

[misty linden]

I love the weather place

[smoky haven]

and people rebuilt it

[misty linden]

Because is far from many places and the neighbor enjoy leaving alone but why forest dweller follow us to everywhere

[misty linden]

Ok

[rigid jasper]

he is the overarching threat of the game

im pretty sure he is also "teased at" when youre putting lever on museum bridge as he is almost always to the left of you in the forest but youre not in a dark area

[ionic bay]

What happens when you leave?

Nothing?

[rigid jasper]

theres an invisible wall

you can get past it though but theres nothing

so its just background terrain and you'll eventually fall out of the map

[rotund plaza]

Nothing at all

It is just a sign

[misty linden]

Oh but what if i walk after the sign is it gonna be another town for hn4

[pseudo spoke]

I'm pretty sure the invisible wall is only for the area opposite of the town. Like I'm pretty sure there's no invisible walls anywhere else.
They even placed Guest teleport points in areas that are "out of bounds" and have 2D trees in PA

[rigid jasper]

also uh i hope hn3 is the last mainline game because it seems to be setting up a proper end for the neighbors arc

because from hn1 ending he still has his fear and guilt

Hello Neighbor 4: Neighbors in SPACE!

[limpid pewter]

it changes due to different gameplay and artstyle

[smoky haven]

bro who doesnt know about HN 3.5 and HN 4

sent that too early

[misty linden]

why you want hn3 is the last game WE NEED MORE NEIGHBOR GAME

[rigid jasper]

not the last game, the last mainline game

[rotund plaza]

.... That's not how it works....

[rotund plaza]

You have to be a child, there is no way

[misty linden]

ok but next game hn remake?

[rigid jasper]

maybe

we dont know

[misty linden]

we need

🙂

also pls remind me i wanna show something about hello neighbor roblox game

is pretty amazing

[misty linden]

btw why u forcing me to be a child?

i mean you said the word you have

[rotund plaza]

I am not

[misty linden]

you said i have to be a child

[rotund plaza]

My gosh that's not what I meant

[misty linden]

okay but kinda sorry

lol

🫠

forest dwller stop catching me

hn3 omg

[rigid jasper]

are you in golden apple park or going into the forest?

[misty linden]

i am finding a way too speedrun fast

1 minute

[rigid jasper]

oh

[misty linden]

also as i tell i am so scare of the amusment park is bih being alone and seeing someone chasing me

lol

[lunar geode]

michael is kinda right hn3 should be the last game

[limpid pewter]

yeah

last story game

[near hawk]

Chronologically yeah i agree

[lunar geode]

but it doesn’t mean they should stop doing more seasons of the animated series

[limpid pewter]

or mainline game

[near hawk]

But in general nah

[lunar geode]

we already have so many games

[limpid pewter]

theres def gonna be a hn1 remake

[untold grotto]

they should

[lunar geode]

why do you think so

[lunar geode]

why?

[near hawk]

There shouldn't be more than 3 seasons

[limpid pewter]

in the rbo era parts of the dev team worked on a prototype for a hn1 remake

[near hawk]

That's what they paid for and it almost got them bankrupt i believe

[lunar geode]

i don’t have a problem if the third season is the last but it will be one if there are plot holes and unanswered questions

[lunar geode]

actually?

[untold grotto]

financial problems

[lunar geode]

oh ok

Then yeah this season should be the last but hopefully there aren’t any unanswered questions or things that can cause confusions

[untold grotto]

there is already an prototype for it

[near hawk]

Besides the remake Alex also said there's another game planned

[limpid pewter]

it better not be hn4

[lunar geode]

what do u mean? I’m talking about the animated series

[near hawk]

#hello-neighbor message

[lunar geode]

hn3 orr what

ohh

another game planned

that’s nice

[near hawk]

No you were not talking about the Animated series in the message he replied to

[untold grotto]

you answered a message that was about hn1 remake?

[lunar geode]

oh actually

which message

Oh wait my bad

[lunar geode]

sorry i forgot about my question to u

[untold grotto]

i doubt it because it seems like the game is already in development

[lunar geode]

i’m pretty sure it isn’t

can yall talk more

[grim lark]

Ello Bonnie!

[untold grotto]

well him destroying statue might be not about him not loving the guest

[exotic pewter]

hi

[untold grotto]

its like he wants the result of destroying the statue

he kills all of the townspeople including himself

[smoky haven]

i found it interesting how the statue was just an object in the pre alpha

i was expecting it to be a interactable thingy again

but i guess that would be waaaayyy too much

[near hawk]

Nikita said statue assembling would return but not in a way we think which did get me think it would be in pre Alpha.

#hn3-discussion message

[smoky haven]

they need to implement it back once the ai is better because rn all it makes me do is kill all of them

😭

[untold grotto]

is it just me or is making statue better than finding report #13

[limpid pewter]

yes

[smoky haven]

i like both :D

i wouldnt mind having multiple storylines like that

depending which one you decide to do

[untold grotto]

yeah but i would want setting the festival as core path

[smoky haven]

i mean

sandboxes dont really have a core path

thats the beauty

you get to pick ur own adventure and path

there is no correct way to play in a sandbox

that why there is multiple paths and storylines

the whole point of HN 3 is that there is no correct way to play the game you have your own choices and stuff to do

[untold grotto]

ikr

[smoky haven]

(i now realize that ive read your message wrong i think)

[sonic birch]

Has Nikita answered whether they will switch to regular house models in the full game or will they keep the prefabs/modules?

[smoky haven]

i mean he hasnt talked in here in a while now

he just asked what we thought of the new character

[pseudo spoke]

That's a good question, because the modules probably use more geometry than they'd need to

[smoky haven]

kinda reminds me how steel wool built the entire pizzaplex using box brushes

[lunar geode]

hello neighbor

[smoky haven]

(very laggy)

[lunar geode]

i’m happy

[spiral atlas]

This is an early version of P3

[night vigil]

Omg they are actually somewhat marketing the game

[pseudo spoke]

Wow he used to have an elevator in the house AND used it! The vandals didn't even use the elevator in the underground area in P3

[night vigil]

OHHHH true there's an elevator lol. That's actually pretty cool

[pseudo spoke]

Oh also I just realized the doorbell worked there. The AI also didn't react to those in P3.

[night vigil]

Actually fascinating

[untold grotto]

also janusz is not go through the door

[pseudo spoke]

That too, huh.

[lunar geode]

hi

do u guys think hello guest should be released on ios

[pseudo spoke]

Now I'm wondering why these things don't work in the released builds

[night vigil]

I think Janusz WOULD face through the door, if the Pole thingy wasn't on the door

[untold grotto]

tried it just now and he did ignore the lightning rod

in pre alpha

[night vigil]

Well then he would probably ignore it in P3 too

So it isn't the Lighting rod

[pseudo spoke]

Yeah it's the board. The door is boarded, and he can't get through, which the AI still does in PA

[peak solar]

I feel like Nikita would probably be able to comment on this

[smoky haven]

wait

[peak solar]

since

[smoky haven]

wait ???

[peak solar]

well, it's a public video

[smoky haven]

it has normal trees

[peak solar]

should be fine

[smoky haven]

not all just dead

are we sure thats old p3 and not some testing map

because like.. it has actual foliage...

[night vigil]

I says P3

[untold grotto]

i mean ui says its prototype 3

[smoky haven]

OHi didnt notice

😭

[untold grotto]

and the model is blockout one

[smoky haven]

okay so... why dont we have pretty trees in the actual pre alpha

ts... pmo

[night vigil]

it would be funny tho if they just put that on top of the video to "trick" us. But that's most certainly not true

[smoky haven]

😒 grandeturisto explain yourself... /j

wait

how can this be prototype 3 when it has the finished models

?

like the plank

what is this weird mixture

[night vigil]

P3 also had ONE finished board in the towns square I think. Idk, some doors have finished models, some don't

[brave thunder]

it's probably not even the actual gameplay map

[smoky haven]

i want those orange trees that are in the back

[brave thunder]

they can just place his house in another testing map and record this

[smoky haven]

grande turisto 🤬 gimmie those trees

[untold grotto]

or it is just an super early version that they didnt add the houses that has no gameplay purpose

[night vigil]

Also the tress look very eh imo

[smoky haven]

i like to imagine its some weird testing map and that is final foliage in the back

#agirlcandream

[night vigil]

Although I do like it more than 100% dead trees

[smoky haven]

well yes

[untold grotto]

there was also some weird footage in one of devlogs that prototype 2 statue in prototype 3 map

[smoky haven]

this is actually the aftermath map this is where januzs goes after he blows up the factory

an endless place of torment !

[night vigil]

Also called Hell

[icy notch]

is this new

[brave thunder]

yea that's also possible, but i made that guess due to the finalized board model

[smoky haven]

i just want those trees..

it looks so pretty when it isnt just the same tree model repeated 88800 times

[night vigil]

100%

[brave thunder]

they looked kinda similar to the ones in p2

[untold grotto]

it might be the prototype 3.5 build nikita mentioned but its unlikely

[smoky haven]

im just so confused this is like some limbo build 😭 i really really want those trees tho

also

the ai actually reacts to the rings ???

i swear to god they never do

i can be ringing it for hours and nobody appears

[near hawk]

Do we ask Nikita what it is.

The build i mean

[untold grotto]

they dont in actual prototype 3 and pre alpha

[smoky haven]

well i mean hes watching us...

[night vigil]

Well it wouldn't hurt

[smoky haven]

he is active... always watching..

[untold grotto]

or to tori if she would answer

[smoky haven]

if you guys ask please put in a word for me about those beautiful gorgeous angelic trees

[night vigil]

I mean, it was probably just a test map for the AI, nothing more. But hey, it would still be interesting to see what Nikita says about it

[brave thunder]

can someone compared those with the orange trees in prototype 2

[untold grotto]

yeah but why they do not function like they do in test map if its a old footage

[smoky haven]

i dont have prototype 2 unfortunately

[brave thunder]

hn1 ai functions way better in alpha 1 compared to fullgame

[smoky haven]

thats what im saying and it has some of the finished models too

its weird

nikitaaa ?

[near hawk]

@Neekeetah help

[untold grotto]

i mean aint its like made by 2 different people with different programming style

[smoky haven]

kneekeytah

[brave thunder]

a1~fg is the same ai

pa is the different one

[smoky haven]

so who's gonna ask him..

because it aint me

[night vigil]

Probably because they had to figure out how the AI is gonna roam the whole town without having to find a million crowbars or saws to open a door first. So they just took the simpler route. For now at least. That's my theory but idk

[astral plinth]

what are we asking?

[lunar geode]

hi

[smoky haven]

about that weird limbo build they posted on tik tok

where its labeled prototype 3 but seemingly has more finished models and different foliage

[astral plinth]

oh i didn’t see it yet.

[brave thunder]

probably just test map

[astral plinth]

lemme check

[smoky haven]

what are YOU

[near hawk]

What makes you so special...

[smoky haven]

also can they give a raise to the person making these videos

i actually love these

[astral plinth]

i hope they keep making them

[smoky haven]

plottwist: they are reworking the map /j

tbh

i fully think this is some weird test map

tthats why its labeled as prototype 3

probably just didnt change it

[astral plinth]

the map is supposed to be the forever map, but they can still switch up some things, like how the gas station was readded in the pre alpha

[untold grotto]

might be prototype 3.5 too

[brave thunder]

the label exists in every single map

[night vigil]

Is that a HW2 reference or am I just trippin

[near hawk]

Is

[lunar geode]

hi

[brave thunder]

you can also see it in signed beating up Jacob video

[astral plinth]

HW2 for the win

[night vigil]

It is indeed peak yes

[smoky haven]

well yeah but if they just took this map and just never changed the UI

and are using it for a test map

[civic totem]

Hello

[smoky haven]

this would explain why the models are so weirdly mixed

[astral plinth]

hey Varx

[brave thunder]

the ui is the same in every single map

[lunar geode]

hru

[smoky haven]

no

[night vigil]

👋 Hola

[smoky haven]

thats not how this works

[civic totem]

I'm good

[brave thunder]

it is

[smoky haven]

if you download this as a seperate file

the UI doesnt update

[brave thunder]

the label is a text in the main hud

it's not a per map thing

[smoky haven]

i... know but if this is a seperate test file with a test map the UI wouldnt CHANGE

if its not the main file

[brave thunder]

oh

[lunar geode]

that’s nice to know

[brave thunder]

probably not

[smoky haven]

yeah

[lunar geode]

how are u

[smoky haven]

so if this is a test map this could mean this is our first look at the upgraded foliage...

[night vigil]

Doing great, what about u?

[brave thunder]

but they probably won't duplicate the whole project just for that

[untold grotto]

why blockout model if its a recent test map

[lunar geode]

that’s good to know i’m doing fine thanks for asking

[smoky haven]

why would you update models in a test map if its just for testing

its a mix of everything

[brave thunder]

they just placed the new models there?

[astral plinth]

besides foliage I’m genuinely curious to know what’llbe updated in the alpha. Will we get more story? More characters? We already have Ernest. And more items.

[smoky haven]

well yeah its a TESTING map you test stuff there

the models could be outdated for the characters if they are just testing out the AI there

[near hawk]

Actually it's possible Ernest won't be in next build
